Puccini's 'Messia di Gloria' To Be Wilkes Chorus Concert The Wilkes College Chorus will present a fall concert on Tuesday, November I 6, 197 I, at the Center for the Performing Arts at 8:30 p.m. The chorus, composed of 111 vocalists, is under the direction of Mr. Richard Probert. "Messa di Gloria" by Giacomo Puccini will comprise the entire program. "Messa di Gloria" was written when Puccini was at the young age of 18, but represents the fulfillment of The Mass was first performed his entire musical background.

However, Puccini, who was four generations had specialized in striving to master other forms of sacred music. (Continued on page 12) on the lack of seats. It seems that the Byrds P.A. system absorbed 360 seats in the bleachers, and the reason chairs were used was because of the fire laws which pertain to the gym. The reason for insufficient seating as publicized by Student Government President, Howie Tune , was the existence of bogus tickets. Only three such tickets were found and the one exhibited at the meeting was, of very poor quality. Still, there may or may not have been more. Whether the apology contained factual reasoning is really not the question. Some sort of immediate answer had to be given to quickly assuage the tide of anger on campus. Finally , the reason the side door was opened was simple necessity . The crowd was growing increasingly large and the police threatened to leave unless some of the students were permitted inside. Dr. Francis Michelini, who sat in on the meeting, commended the students who ran the concert for doing a very responsible job and making it the best student affair ever. The finalized version of the Off Campus Living Proposal was passed unanimously. It will now be . presented to the Council of Deans for approval.

Anytime the word is mentioned , even in the lowest tone, ears begin to burn. And maybe they should for once. The BEACON has come out time and time again shouting apathy until the campus is sick and tired of hearing the word . Yet nothing seems to get done. In a letter to the editor this week, Student Government Presid ent, Howie Tune, stated his own particular experiences with student body. Stud ents, according to Tune, "Demand the things we were offering to give them ." Th is is one point where Student Government and the student publication are in complete agreement. Another point made in the letter stresses Mr. Tune's concern for t lJ.e quality of the paper. This again is another of our primary concerns. Two points in agreement! The student newspaper is one means of check that any institution has to keep controversies above the ground. The purpose of a paper is to question the motives and actions of anyone who would necessarily influence its readers. Then why, as Mr. Tune puts it, "the running battle between S.G. and the BEACON ?" No one should be denied the freedom of speech so necessary to our way of life, but at the same time anyone in the limelight, so to speak, should be willing to stand behind what they say and confront the issues directly . The only logical conclusion to the problem at hand is the simplest. Why not work. together to solve a common problem? Profit-making Condoned At a recent meeting of the Student Life Committee the problem of how the Activity Fee affects the classes was discussed. As the proposal now stands, each class receives an initial allotment of $1,000. This is the money used for outings, dances and other class activities. There is a stipulation that no class is allowed to make a profit using Student Government's money. And it's very di fficult to make mon ey with no starting capital. If the classes were to receive a lower allotment, but allowed to make a profit on their activities, it would result in a more active class, and more class activities. The benefit to the school is obvious. Right now classes have little money to donate to Wilkes. If classes were allowed to make money they would be able to serve the school by perhaps offering a scholarship or presenting a substantial senior gift. (No bribe, just fact.) Because the classes would have the opportunity to do more, there would be more class affinity. The initiative to do something would be supplied. The idea was fairly well received at the committee meeting, and it is our hope that action will be taken on the measure. If there is a lack of worthwhile events on campus, perhaps it is because the present Activity Proposal stifles initiative. A Suitcase College ?

The program began with an introduction to Gilbert and Sullivan " - Dear Dead Friends - ," a Gilbert and Sullivan primer, which was written by Michael Gallagher and staged by Robert Bernhardt. It was synopsized as "a brief reunion with the two immortals, Sir William Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan, their prodigious producer Richard D'Oyly Carte and a very charming young lady.

And · a Stanley Blacker buckskin suede shirt-jacket ("Far right ," the caption tells us) with envelope epaulettes and pockets. A regular steal (did he or didn't he?) at $85 . . . · These are just a few of the items that the clothing industry - by way of faddist fashion magazines - has told us and our mothers that we'll be wearing back-to-school this year. Not, this season. But is this the college campus clothing scene? The answer is simple: look in a mirror. What are you wearing? All of the above? Some of the above ? None of the above? According to an editor of a leading fashion journal who prefers to remain nameless, "I really don't know what students wear on campus. The Back-To-College campaign is really just an advertising tradition. I suppose they're wearing the maxi-look and the Army-Navy look - high styled - and suede jeans... well, I suppose they're wearing just what the magazines say the 're wearing. Aren't they?" Not necessarily. A superficial glance at some student attire disproves the image that all students are donning designer creations. Both men and women wear demm pants (these must be frayed, sometimes with embroidered cuffs and patches, and must be washed at least seven times before ready to wear!. They wear blue jean jackets (same process for washing and wearmg), raggedy bleached blue work shirts worn in winter over old black undershirts. And a pair of aged , scruffy Wellingtons. But there are e_xceptions. The freshman coed's mother is prime paying prey f?r the multitude of magazine's misleading back-to-school-you-fool campa1?ns. These !v1others of Mademoiselle page through sectfons of glos~y Jersey, _acryl!c, _c ut low, cut high, drip dry and hip high copies of copies of copies - and send their daughters off to school in the right fashion . At t rizona State University in Tempe, a coed said, "It's like out of the pages of a magazine. And I don't mean Field and Stream . Everyone's so Clean. Everyone's so Coordinated. It's the kind of place where you wouldn't dare walk out of your dorm room into the hallways wearing a bathrobe." · On many campuses it's no longer fashio~able to be fashionable. Designer clothes - wide ties, cartridge belts, hot and cold pants, et al :-are out and Costumes are in. A Costume is more individual and represents an idea, a concept, rather than a covering. Farmer jeans with criss-cross straps, flag shirts, psychedelic jockey shorts and home-made , home-grown, tie-dyed shirts reeking.of that organic look are all Costumes. As students ,have become more individualistic, many have tired of attire and have searched - from their granny's attic to the Goodwill basement - for clothing that is individuai, basic and back-to-earth. In a recent article in Gentlemen's Quarterly, a UCLA professor professed that on his campus, "Fashion is no big deal. It's already been liberat.ed so the kids are free to look the way they want to look. And it looks like the fashion revolution is over." But on the next six pages of that male fashion magazine , 32 college-aged men are pictured wearing the antithesis of the preceding article - zappy zippel' sweaters, argyle pants, coordinating caps and scarves, kicker knickers and red, white and blue everything at prices well beyond most students' budgets. More than ever before, the studertt uniform has become more individualistic as a wear-your-own-thing attitude prevails on campuses. And yet the fashion magazines insist that students are wearing $75 suede pants, calling them "britches," rather than counter-culture , cast-off rags. If college students are indeed going from rags to britches as the experts predict, then the fashion magazines obviously have heen washed (Co ntinued on page 12) in soft suds, drip dried and hung up. �Page 4 November 11 , 1971 THE BEACON Spring In Spain one's own account Two Spanish majors, Elena DeRojas and Wendy Roth, plan to attend the University of Madrid in Spain for by JoAnn Gomer the Spring semester.

CONTEST New Course In Math . Set IArt Grant Introduced I �t'age t; THE BEACON · November 11, 1971 by Ruthanne Jones The fashion picture at Wilkes, autumn '71, is a collage of many styles reflecting individuality, freshness and a sense of fun, best described as a free spirited look. Part of the look has been created from nostalgia, but in a newly liberated way. There are dramatic adaptations of the Sherlock Holmes cape coat, an invasion of World War 11 type airplane jackets and the stalwart army coat. Leather and suede are highly appealing in everything from waist length jackets to maxi coats. Men's jackets are trimmed and lined with a wooly pile called shearling, and women's midi coats get the royal treatment, resplendently bordered in fur. Plaids promise to be one of the seasons favorite patterns and are boldly splashed across jumpers, hot pants, suits - even men's bells. Photos by Ruthanne �November 11, 1971 THE BEACON , - Dauntless denim coveralls, in plain and brushed, are popular with both men and women and are worn with French undershirts in vivid colors and geometric designs. Two of the biggest items on campus are panchos and shawls in ·fantastic colors - crocheted, knitted and handtied macrame. Having won the so-called "fashion revolution," women's skirt lengths are any length they choose to wear; however, one of the truly elegant styles is composed of the gaucho or midi length sk irt with high boots. These random camera shots illustrate how some Wilkes students have adopted the general fashion trends and made them the ir own for a great way to dress. Jo nes 1.4701.1.

Are you tired o f putting u p with all of the cruddy , corny commercials which they' re showing on television these days? Would you like to strike back at commercial writers? Well , I'm with you alJ the way . That's why I've helped to o rganize this year's Second Annual Echy Awards for television commercials . Every year , five Echy Awards are given away to those commercials which are judged to be the worst on television . The judging is based upon artlessness, degree of implausibility , irrationality , and pornographic im plica tio ns. And now.:. this year's Fifth Place - Goes to the Star Pist Tuna Commercial. It was no minated by Ralph Hater, when he tested the product and found its ingredients to contain 2 per cent fish by products and 98 per cent mercury. It has also been rumored that Star-Pist doesn't want tunas with good taste, it wants tunas that taste good . Now, be honest-would you enjoy eating a schmuck tuna? Sorry Charlie. Fourth Place - Goes to the "Right Tackle Antiperspirant" commercial, in recognition of its profound , logical content... "Mr. Twat , does your antiperspirant really keep you dry?" " Bub, you don't do what I do and stay dry ." "Why , what do you do?" "Sweat! " Third Place- For the second straight year, goes to the "Choosy Mo thers Choose GYP Peanut Nutter" commercial. It was nominated by 526,783 choosy mothers who claims that it doesn't smell or tas te like fresh peanuts that the other lead ing brands. They will concede , howeve r, that it looks more like f~esh peanuts. That is probably partly attributed to the fact that it is made u p of 87 per cent peanut colored food dye, l l per cent assorted oils and greases, and 2 per cent peanut extract. Last week , the price of Gyp Pea.n ut Butter was doubled by its manufac turers, so we assume that the price o f peanut color.ed fo od dye has recently rise n. Second Place - Goes to the "Charming Bathroom Tissue " commercial. It was no minated by an anony mous impulsive squeezer , who claims that it is no t squeezably soft , and that the only heavenly fragrance which it has is a distinctive odo r of reconstituted wood pulp. How about it , Mr. Whipple? Are you ready now? This is the moment that we 've all been wai ting fo r! We are about to reveal "Number One" -the commercial which was judged to be the schlockiest o n television! First Place- Goes to the "New Cold Water Nothing" commercial. It has been discovered that thi s product no t only doesn't clean clothes adequately , but in cold water , it has a tendency to congeal into a smoo th , white gelatin like substance. Actually , though , the product isn' t all that bad ... that is, if you hap pen to like dirty shirt jello! And so, that winds up this y ea r's Echy Awards. But if you 're no t doing any thing next year at th is time , the n be sure to tune in o n the Third Annual Echy Awards Show. We guarantee more revenge on neat-o commercials .

SPORTS PRISM by Steve Jones All-Star, All-MAC , All-State, All-American, All-Pro , All-Universe - all felative . Ever wonder how and by whom individuals are selected to the various "glory rosters" in the athletic world? Well, let's take a peek at the procedures of the weekly ECAC, All-Star selections for football. There are 53 teams in the ECAC Division III, of which Wilkes is a member. After the football game the visiting SID (sports information director) makes three nominations to the All-Star Squad for each team. In addition the two SID's decide between them who should be selected "Rookie of the Game." These nominations are then phoned in to ECAC headquarters in New York City. Here , one Bill Esposito, SID at St. John's University, assimilates all of the information and sees to it that from all of the candidates submitted four players are selected in each of three categories: defensive back and linebacker' offensive linebacker (ends and backs) , and defensive or offensive line. As far as MAC All-Star selections are concerned, the MAC coaches choose all of the players on their team who they believe should receive MAC mention. They then send their nominations to the MAC office at Bethesda, Maryland , where a complete list of all of the players names as drawn up and mailed to each of the MAC coaches who select the All-Star . team. Although at times some coaches seem to go a little haywire and submit virtually their entire roster to Bethesda, those in the know in the sports world feel that the ultimate MAC selections are probably more just than those of other All-Star squads. This is because the MAC coaches spend hours on end viewing films of their respective opponents and generally know who does or does not possess outstanding talent. But there are times when the impartiality of some of the selections is subject to question. One case in point concerns the ECAC selections. Earlier this year against Moravian , Frank Galicki made the ECAC All-Star squad when he made 11 tackles and seven assists and recovered a blocked p,mt for a TD, a great effort , no doubt. But probably equally as great was Tony Cardinale's 17 tackle, 11 assist effort against Ithaca. The ECAC by-passed him in their selections. No doubt the fact that Wilkes lost the game had a lot to do with their decision. Another case in point occurred after last baseball season when Jeff Giberson, who had the eighth lowest ERA (earned run average) of pitchers in the nation , was overlooke d in selections for the Northern Division All-Stars. Too frequently' it seems, athletes are given recognition primarily on tµ e basis of seniority and their performances and publicity of the past and upon their team's success at winning. Fair ratings of an individual's performance go out the door when these factors are brought into play• It's too bad that "the perfect system" of selection has yet to be devised. It's too bad that sometimes final selections are the responsibility of only one person. "Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely." But these minor inequities are what aspirants to the "who's who " of athletics must live with until something better comes along. Until that day the player who made the incredible block that nobody saw' or the fantastic catch that was forgotten about in the heat of battle, will have to console himself with the thought that maybe the "Great Coach in the sky" saw it _all and w! !o;neday reward him. I'd like to make a brief mention here of a few of the soccer players who have not been getting the publicity they deserve, and who should be watched for in Saturday's MAC championship . They are Gary Mocho , Bill Killeen , Marty Pobutkiewicz, Roger Danbury , Keith Shallcross, Ed Weber, Chip Eaton and Jerry Blade . They are a few of the unsung heroes who are largely responsible for the team's 7-1-1 MAC record. Tennis Sept. 22 marked the beginning of the Women's Tennis Intramurals, held in Kirby Park. Twenty-five eager girls participated in the program which lasted until Oct. 27. Divided into two. groups beginners and advanced players both classes participated in either a "round robin" or "second chance" tournament. The beginners were selected to perform in the "second chance" tournament where both the loser as well as the winner receive a second chance at winning their division. In regular elimination round the player who once loses has no other attempt for the title. Whereas in a "second chance" tournament the loser is given a repeated try at the title. While the advanced players used the "round robin" method in which the player as she eliminates one opponent after another' proceeds on to the next until she reaches the top, with either no defeats or very few. Winners of the Beginner and Advanced categories were Ann Tracy ( 6 _3 ) ( 1_6) ( 6 _1) and Sue Flannery ( 5 _7) ( 6 _2 ) ( 6 _3) respectively. Runners-up were Pam Fink _ Beginners, and Rosemary Petrillo - Advan ced players. Special attention must be given to Jo Ann Herfurth and Jill Longo for the outstanding ability in the Beginner class as well as Nancy Snee who performed impressively in the advanced position. Participating in the Tennis Intramurals were Beginners: Molly Moran , Ann Ostipiw, . Janice Yanish , Chris Hastie , Kathy Mansberry , JoAnn Herfurth , Linda Holonia , Sally Ann Chupka , Jill Longo, Pam Fink, Diana Giovannini, Debbie Wysocki, Ann Tracy, Nancy Walker,.. Ruth Kret , Beverly Martin , and Frances Kuczynski. Advanced players were: Sue Flannery, Nancy Snee, Jill Steiger, Rosemary Petrillo, Marie Koeyan , Mary Lou McKeown, Rose Gennaro , and Darlene Kishbaugh.

The title game for the Colonels Soccer team will be this week when they meet the Bluejays of Elizabethtown at Ralston field. If the Rokitamen could defeat the unbeaten E-Town team, Wilkes would win the Northern. Division Middle Atlantic Conference soccer title, something not accomplished since 1966. During the week the Blue and Gold boo ters defeated Susquehanna University 4-0. The win brought the teams record to 8-3-2, and7-l-l in the M.A.C. Wilkes scored three goals in the second quarter with 40 second intervals between each shot. Bob Linaberry Ed Garabedian scored two goals to bring his total to 18 for the season.

Another point stressed by Dean Moss was that nobody did anything last year when Wilkes was really charged exhorbitant rates and cries of excessive pricing would have been legitimate . Student Government paid a local promoter (with whom Wilkes has since suspended relations) $13 ,500 for Blood , Sweat, and Tears while Joh ~ Sebati o n co mmanded an outrageous $9000 fee .

Also , a meeting with the dea ns was scheduled to be held concerning the calendar change. Dr. Michelini asked Stud ent Govern men t to share one-half of the cost of a new wide screen in the CPA. The to tal cost would be abo ut $440. The rest of the burden would be handled by the college . Finally, a new committee had bee n forme d to st ud y the possibility of having open talks by any of the professors. The lectures could be abou t any subject he desires and would take place during the hou r break on Tuesdays and Thursdays. TRIAL (From page 3) Gree nberg, Ruthanne Jones and Mary Elizabeth Morris.

Jim Farrario conducted and Julie Levoy and Andrea Bogusko were the accompanists, while Tom Frew handled percussion. All proceeds were given to the United Fund in the name of the Wilkes College Theater, Student Government, and Wilkes College. When Mr. Alfred Groh was asked how he felt about the success he said, "I'm delighted that the students have . such a creative opportunity to express themselves so .joyously." He was enthusiastic over the audience's reaction and has high-hopes for student plays in Wilkes' future. November 11, 1971 THE BEACON COLONEL FOOTBALL (From page 10) The offense sputtered and Blaum was forced to punt. His punt apparently fumbled but the official ruled the whistle had blown prior to the fumble and the partisan Wilkes crowd aired its displeasure responding with a reboant round of boos that "fired up" the Colonel defense . . The "Golden Herd" stopped ESSC cold but a · grabbing the faremask violation gave them a first down . Again the incensed defense set the ESSC offense in reverse motion and the Warriors had to punt on the fourth and 25. The punt, though, took a bizarre bounce and struck an unsuspecting Colonel and ESSC recovered on the Wilkes 24. A piling on penalty again beset the Colone!

ESSC 14 Wtlkes 9, with just over nine minutes remaining in the game . The Colonels retailed when Giberson hit Neil Langdon fo~ the first down and then followed with a bomb to John Marion that brought the ball to the ESSC 15. Three gruelling runs by Yeager up the middle netted l Oyards and another Wilkes first down on the Warrior five . Giberson than pitched to Yeager who sailed unmolested left around end of the score . The try for a two point conversion failed, but the Colonel defense didn't the rest of the way as Garf Jones made a tremendous play in flicking away a pass that could have been a potential touchdown and Galicki blitzed Mu_mmaw and sacked him for a sizable and demoralizing loss deep in ESSC territory late in the game. In all the Colonel defense got to Mummaw five times for losses totaling 25 yards. MARIANI (From page 2) happened .

This drive, which is held twice a year , once in the fall and again in the spring, will be operating between the hours of 9 :30 a.m. and 3:45 p.m. today . Blood donated will go to the Northeastern Pennsylvania Blood Bank of the American Red Cross, Statistics volunteered by Dean requests for blood, however, . are the Wilkes-Barre George Ralston indicate that the made from average .amount of blood donated community and by commuting at each drive is approximately 300 students. The blood drive needs pints. It.is expected that only about more support from area students. Two myths which seem to 400 pin ts will be donated today . According to Dean Ralston, this discourage students from donating isn't much considering the number are first, that after students donate of people at Wilkes. The faculty , their blood, people still have to pay Administration and full time for it when it is needed. This · is students combined number close to quite untrue. The blood is free to 2,830 people. If the expected 400 anyone who needs it. One pints are donated, an end result · stipulation however , is that the could be interpreted as donation by blood must be replaced, either by one out of every seven members of the individual at a later date or by a the Wilkes community. According friend. The second misconception is to Ralston , we should be donating at least 600 pints; we are giving that the blood given is used in Viet only about 50 per cent of what we Nam. Again, this is false. Every pint of blood donated is used in could be giving. Sixty to seventy per cent of the northeastern Pennsylvania.

This means twice as much blood. by Pat Moran An interview this past week with Dr. Eugene S. Farley , Chanc;ellor of Wilk.es College, prov~ded: some information on the progress of the New Learning Center. The final goal of the ,project, termed "Forward Thrust," is $5,860,000. As of now, $3,100,000 of the set goal has been reached. The funds are secured mainly by approaching various groups · and especially by the support and co-operation of friends of the college. Dr. Farley explained that the Center is being constructed in phases with the exterior . and interior of the first and second levels comprising the initial phase. Until the remaining money is secured the building of the third and fourth levels will be delayed, along with the construction of the lecture hall. It is hoped that the goal will be reached as soon as possible because the Center will house very important areas such as the Fine Arts, Environment~! Sciences and the Electronics and Materials Engineering departments. The Learning Center will also be instrumental in the organizing and future housing of the program now being set up with Hahnemann Hospital. Opens Tonight Wilkes College is celebrating its 25th anniversary in style as fall homecoming activities get underway tonight.

I �Editorially Speaking Welcome Alumni Once again the fall homecoming spirit has hit Wilkes College and what kind of a homecoming would it be without the official welcome to the alumni. This year's activities promise to be bigger and better than ever. How can they help but be exciting with the huge amount of effort put in by all concerned? Clubs and dormitories convey the welcome to our alumni through special displays. The Beacon staff would like to do its party by dedicating this special issue to the members of the previous classes who have done so very much to make Wilkes what it is today. As you walk through the campus, on these special tours, you're bound to notice a great deal of change. There's a big hole on South River Street where Barre, Butler, Ashley, Warner and Dennison Halls once stood. These and many other buildings like them probably contained the memories of thousands of students like you who have passed through their doors. Yet new memories are being passed on to future classes in newer and more efficient buildings. Yes, Wilkes has changed, and believe it or not, you have been a very intricate part of that change. For it ij only thro~gh the cooperative efforts of a majority that any true success can be obtained. Yet, as you've probably discovered by now, there are some things that never change in a college career. As you walk along the campus, you'll come across many undergraduates sharing some of the very same activities you did the thrill of a well-executed football game, the dorm parties and the homecoming displays. Yes, homecoming is a very special event. It's a time for recalling the past. But more important, it's a time for looking to the future and attainment of vour own goals. Our Heritage? Once upon a time In the land of hush-a-buy, They came across a sort of box Bound up with chains and locked with locks And Labeled: "Kindly do not touch - It's War." The decree was issued round about All with a flourish and a shout And a gayly colored mascot tripping lightly on the floor: "Don't fiddle with this deadly box, Or break the chains, or pick the locks, And please don't ever play about with War." . Well, children understood. Children happeneto be good, And they were just as good about the time of Yore. They didn't try to pick the locks Or break into that deadly box. They never tried to play about with War. Mommies didn't either; sister, aunts or grannies neither, Cause they ' were quiet, and sweet and pretty in those wondrous days of Yore. Well, very much he same as now And not the ones to blame somehow For opening up that deadly box of War. But someone did. Someone battered in the lid And spilled the insides out across the floor. A sort of bouncy-bumping ball Made up of guns and flags and all the tears And horror and the ~death that goes with War, It bounced right out And went bashing all about And bumping into everything in store. And what was sad And most unfair Was that it didn't really seem to care much Who it bumped, or why, or what or for. It bumped the children mainly, And I'II tell you this quite plainly: It bumps them : everyday and more and I more, ; . And leaves them dead and burned and dying, , Thousands of them sick, and crying Cause when it bumps it.'s really very sore. Now there's a way to stop the ball. It isn't difficult at all. All it takes is wisdom. I'm absolutely sure That we could get it back into the box And bind the chains and lock the locks But no one seems to want to save the children anymore. Well, that's the way it all appears Cause it's been bouncing round for years and years lnspite of all the wisdom wizzed Since those wonderous days of Yore. And the time they came across the box Bound up with ·chains and locked with locks And labeled: "Kindly do not touch - lt'.s War."

Mr. Buckley's viewpoint, and indeed the whole conservative party, is one of dangerous illogic and 1984 gobbleygook. Buckley stated that we should, "do away with social security and make it voluntary." He develops this by saying that those who would choose not to give to social security stand to make much more for their money through private investment. On the surface, this argument seems fair and acceptable. The only problem is that if those who could afford to drop out did , (the upper and middle class) the system could not hold out and those that are now able to survive solely oecause of Social Security, ( the old and Editor-in-chief Managing Editor · , News Editor . . .

The Wilkes College Judical Council is the result of several years of organization and planning.

The idea began as a brainchild of Mr. Art Hoover , current Direct or of Alumni Affairs and a form er Director of Student Activities.

Humphrey doesn't ring a bell with too man y of the students here at Wilkes. If that's so , it's a shame. Walter Humphrey was a giant among Texans. His long career - which began as a cub reporter back in the mid-l 920s and carried him to the editor's post he held fo r 40 y ears is one of the most remarkable in the history of Texas journalism . It was a career wh ich made him a national figure as well. . I would like to take time to._present an excerpt fro m Humphrey's article , " A Newspaperman's Love Affair." In it he explains why h e devo ted h is life to newswriting. And in a way , perhaps it also explains why a few of us spend every weekend and many hours during the week putting out a paper. I want to talk to you about a career. A way of life. A prof ession. I want to talk to you about the newspaper - about my love affair with my job. Forty y ears ago I went to the University of Co lorado to study law. The only activity that seemed open to m e as a freshman was the school newspaper. So I got on as a reporter. In my second week a story of mine was printed. Not exactly like I wro te it - but there it was. And I was the proudest guy on th e campus. Ifargot about the law. I was a newspaperman. Tha f's the way this profession of mine captures y oung men and women. It holds o ut its hand to anyone seeking excitement and adventure and leads him through a maze of wonderful experiences. I wish you could have been with me during the 35 years ofmy ody ssey to plain and strange places, hunting for news, prospecting for ideas, exploring avenues of service - meetif!g all those fascinating people who make th e world go ro und. I wish y ou could have been along on an interview with me 2 7 y ears ago. The woman I was interviewing could neither see nor hear nor speak. She was that remarkable woman, Helen Keller. Slowly , I asked her questions. She put her fingers to my lips and read what I asked. Her answers were a squeeze of the hand and gay, excited expressions that were like a burst ofglory. You might not have liked this but you could have walked with me down Death Row to talk to a man who would die at midn;ght, seeing along the way the despair of men who had killed and robbed. But we would have been alert that n;ght and gone back to the prison early, to see whathappens to a man when his life is spared an hour before it was to have been taken._ You would have seen a tough arrogant young man faint dead away in the joy of the news that "saved him. Years later I walked the same path again. There was no governor to save this I can remember his last words to me - "I didn't mean to do it." / iiave seen miracles happen and have had the supreme pleasure of by Randy Steele Student Government recently remarked on an IDC report in which the freshman orientation program would commence in June . A meeting was held with John Whitby, Dean of Admissions, and the feasibility of concentrating the academic portion of the program into a two day affair was examined. The incoming freshmen would meet with their appropriate advisor and division chairman and take any necessary tests and get the "feel" of the college in general. There would also be one day set aside in September to organize the freshmen and prepare them for classes. thoSe candidcites·· who -·relied On It was noted that about 600 working with the clubs on campus. · Apparently they wilrattempt to their popularity. students were committed to Wilkes write up activities and business in a The · $150 allocated to the by May.

I made a big fuss about all the land that will be lost - that land varies from six to 10 feet from South Street to North Street. Any other land that is destroyed in the process of construction will be restored to its native state. I also made a big fuss over the trees to be lost in construction - well, they were to be eliminated anyway because they are all diseased. In fact, I can go on and mention scores of half truths which infest my former articles. Then why would such a reputable paper print such near-lies? In the reading public these days there is a large segment which reads with the proverbial wool pulled over their eyes. They make little or no effort to distinguish fact from fancy . The purpose of this series of articles is to show you (the reader) how gullibledumb you are. I am not wreaking havoc upon your intellectual capacites merely your gullibledumbability. I believe that because the printed word carries so much weight it is rather difficult to challenge it. This is not to say that a paper (especially the Beacon) is without criticism. No indeed - for it is all too easy to condemn an entire publication without giving regard to its individual articles. Perhaps then, so that the reader is not forced· into conflict with the printed word, he simply discredits the entire publication . . So in conclusion I must say that ye fine old Beacon has triumphed ove~ you dunderheads who make easy generalizations. I am insulting you - readers; I challenge your very souls.

He moved into a tiny apartment, build bean bag chairs and · shelves on which to hang his Huxleys and Hemingways. He b'ecame a vegetarian, did Yoga on cushions when the sun rose, studied macrobiotics on cushions when it set. And, like instant Karma, the star became a chorus boy and that was that-the beginning of a beautiful self-indulgent life. That was over a year ago, when the well-read, well-bred Brooklyn-boy-turned; English-teacher (American and English Literature, Humanities, et al), 'dropped out to dropin to himself. Now, he says, moaning one of those academic moans, "I want to drop back in again. I'd like to find a job teaching somewhere. I miss students. But it's hard to drop in ... " And his voice trails off to the West Coast where he lives and he meekly looks down at his ragged t-shirt wishing, maybe?, it were a little tweedier. You know: with those terribly academic patches so he shouldn't wear his elbows out while learning on that podium. With memories of three years at the University of Minnesota, two years at Macalester College in St. Paul, "that awful year writing a disseration back in '67," and those two last years at Stanislaus College in Turlock, Calif., Leonard Brill, aging in at 35, is the drop6u t professor. It 's happening all over the country. And Brill (please call him Dr. Brill) is only one of many victims of a bad academic job market. Money is tight ; contracts aren't being renewed. profs take off to discover the Better Life. And even at your own campus, look around you: you just might notice that Professor - oh-what-was-his-name? - isn't there anymore. And he hasn't left to accept a Better Position at some elegant Eastern school. He just might be living in the hovel down the block. Leonard Brill is living in the hovel down the block. "I was disillusioned with the fact that decisions on education aren't made by the students and faculty. The people who are closest to education don't have any say about it. "And," he said, "I wanted a year - a very private year - for myself. I thought it might be a good time to get away from teaching and get perspective on myself and spend some time alone with myself. At first, I felt quite elated and liberated and free ... " And now? "Now I'm ready to go back to teaching because I feel that teaching is the most useful thing I can do . I miss the students. I think that students at college age are the most interesting. Their sense of their own potential is greatest at that point. It's that unfilled sense of usefulness that's the ~trongest goad I feel in wanting to return to teaching." But can a nice Jewish boy, well-studied in the finer things, leave the academic community, join the other World, and find real happiness? "I get up at 5 a.m. everyday," Brill said. ''Then I go over to the Zen Center and 'sit in the lotus position for 45 minutes. I work from 7 a.m. 'til 2 p.m. as a proof reader. It's no more hack work than reading student themes, except - " he said rather sadly, " - execept there aren't any students. But after going from tweeds to beads, Leonard Brill hasn't been fulfilled. He wants to go back to school. And he - the drop-out professor - is like the drop-out student. Both tire of the educational system and affect a deliberate liberation that often becomes dishabilitation. For Brill, that forced freedom become tedium, and academic unemployment become unenjoyment. But some good has come out of his self-imposed Sabbatical. "I have explored an education I have never explored, " he said . " I was always very tied to language - a head- consciousness that was bred in graduate school. And I wanted to explore new languages. Vegetarian cooking, Yoga, Zen, the guitar - they've all become new languages. But when the school year was over last June," he said, "I readized that I had spent a year not being in a classroom." · Leonard Brill - Dr. Leonard Brill - is looking for a job. He can teach English lit, humanities, and some otl).er subjects, too. And he can do light cleaning (no windows or floors).

This is true if we consider Fred Hampton and George Jackson to have been coddled. Coddled right in the back. Buckley is proud to say that Conservatives like to take time and study things, not push laws onto the public. Sounds like a regular Anarchist. Law and order if it affects me personally, to hell wid em', if it don't. When Buckley says take time with laws, he means take time on cracking down on car companies and preventing them from selling crappy cars. He means take time in anti-pollution laws, poverty, education, etc. Buckley's most vomitous statement though was something to the effect that people in our slums have no spirit. He also said along with that, as I spoke to him after the concert , that no one starves in this country who has the will not to. Perhaps his sophistry can answer what Dr. Arnold E. Shaefer of the HEW (Health, Education, and Welfare) said after his investigation of nutrition in America , "We have found more malnutrition than I ever expected to see in a society described as the best in the world." After all the studies that have been made and with all the undeniable facts available, anyone who does not think there is a problem of hunger in America today is blind. Buckley sees no such problem. Finally, his most frightening point came when he said that if you are not Conservative it doesn't matter what you are; Black Panther, SDS, Stalinist, or Nazi. Buckley made several quips toward President Nixon. Does this mean Reid thinks our President a Black Panther? This lunacy is more akin to the totalitarianism he so opposes. No, Brother Reid, you are a dangerous man an4 I shudder at the mendacity you have left behind. M. Scholnick BEACON ANNIVERSARY (From Page 4) Beacon Light of Sports," "Campus Chatter," and "Meet the Colonels." During the Spring semester of 1950, the Beacon broke the story of the new gym that was to be constructed and the sports column was renamed, "Colonel's Coroner." Also included in the issues that year was a column called "Camera • Queries," where a reporter and a photographer would pose questions to various students. Almost a decade later, the Beacon was still continuing to improve its style and techniques. The name of the paper was now printed over the Wilkes emblem and the size of the paper remained at four pages. 1960 saw the editorial L page devoted to an editorial on the Beacon where for the first time there had been such a turn out for the paper that there had been more reporters than assignments. The sports column was now written under the title "Lockeroom Chatter," and a new column, "Personals," was also added. The school year 1962-63 saw the Beacon improve its content even more by adding more editorials, a "What, Where and When." The column was now called "Time Out" and a view ·of other schools was presented in "Other Campuses." A welcome to the new freshmen was again the front page story as l the Beacon began the 1964-65 school year. A column called "College Forecast" was added to the sports page in which the outcome of the weeks sports events were predicted. . By _1965 , the Beacon had expanded to six pages with page five of the May 21 issue devoted to a feature called, " That Was The Year That Was." This was a satirical review of the year's happenings. An extension of eight pages and the changes to glossy type paper were just a few of the changes made in the campus .publication in 1969. More space was now being provided for students to express their opinions and columns such as "Reporter at Large, " "Student Opinion," and the new sports column, "Sportfolio" were added to the paper. The year 1970 saw a change in printers and the paper being printed on regular newsprint paper. The students were now given the responsibilities of reporting, writing, typing and laying out pages on their own. In contrast · to its early years of existence, the present Beacon staff members work closely with the printers and are able to take pride in the "finished product" since it has been done entirely by them. The following is a quote from the editorial page of the Beacon on October 2, 1959. What it states is exactly what the Beacon of 1971 has been built upon. "What is a newspaper?" ... .Journalistic freedom on the campus means a newspaper with an opinion, a living newspaper. Not a tool for a few, but a mirror for all; an independent voice reaching out to everyone. When we fail to acheive these goals, it is the right and duty of our readers to tell us so. We expect no · praise and welcome criticism. We know no other way to improve ourselves." SUCCESS (From Page 5) "Bright, shiny bright!" is the future forseen for resident assistants by Dean Lampe. If the job is taken .with concern, it will be a tremendous learning experience for all involved. An insight into working and dealing, with people can be gained. The student staff has to deal with maids, maintenance men, health people, the Administration and security . They are the first to become involved with a student who wishes to change a major, dropout of school, get married or break and engagement. The year spent as a resident assistant is a valuable possession and an experience that can not be bought. WAYNE DEPT. STORE RECORD DEPARTMENT GATEWAY S HOPPING CENTER �Page 8 THE BEACON October 28, 1971 Beacon Reporter Interviews local Candidates · · COUNTY COMMISSIONER The County Commissioner is the person who has the respo nsibility of running county government. He is in charge of raising taxes to run the courts, maintain Valley Crest, the County Prison, and the airport. In addition, the County Commissioner has the task of watching the tax levels and providing for better roads. The election of the County Commissioners is one in which the voters choose two candidates from one party (called the majority) and one candidate from the opposing party (the minority) . Thus the County Commissioners . are an aggregation composed of three members. Robert W. Warren (Republican) Mr . Robert W. Warren says, "I am an Independent candidate for Luzerne County Commissioner on the Republican ticket. I hai e been very active in this area for Mental Health, also helped on the Community Chest drives in the past. I will, if elected, consider the tax situation as number one here in Luzerne County. Regardless of our party affiliation , I think all elected officials should get together and work for the people who elect us to office". When asked about his attitude towards Wilkes students, Warren replied, "I want to assure you that if I am elected , I will in every way possible help the students of Wtlkes . College. l don't know of any problems you have but I do want to assure that I will work very close to the young people of Luzerne County and my door will be open to you at any time.

County Treasurer William B. Curwood William ·B. Curwood is the incumbent Democrat candidate for Luzerne County Treasurer. This marks the first time in the history of Luzerne County that a treasurer will be able to succeed himself in office; previously they were limited to one term. The Pennsylvania Constitutional Convention of two years a·go changed this rule of succession. Another first was institu ted by Mr. Curwood; he was responsible fo r the county investing monies from the treasury and by doing this , a profit of $600,000 was realized. This profit plus good county ·administrating were mainly the reasons for no tax increases in 1970. Also under Curwood's administration, it was the first time employees from that office went traveJJing through out the county to sell dog licenses, which resulted in more revenue. MICHAEL YEOSOCK The Republican candidate for the office of County Treasurer is Mr. Michael Yeosock of Plains, Pennsy Jvania.

X-Country Team J.V. Hockey Drops Two Meets • The Colonel Harriers dropped two home meets in what proved to be a dismal turn for the worst last week resulting in part from a definite lack of depth due to the temporary loss of co-captain Gary Homing and the nagging, problem ankle of Jim Godlewski_ _ In Monday's home opener versus the University of Scranton ; Sophomore Duane Sadvary led Wifk.es with a fine time of 29:25 over the 5 mile course in Kirby Park. Despite Sadvary's finish, the Harriers dropped a 22-33 decision to the Royals who also suffer from a problem of a lack of manpower and would have been required to forfeit the meet had not Coach George Pawlush decided the only way to win is out on the course and not through burdening stipulations in the NCAA rule book. Scranton arrived in Wilkes-Barre with a contingent of four men ; one shy of the required minimum. Thus the meet was a forfeit in reality, but goes in the record books as a Wilkes loss. Following Sadvary against Scranton were Joe Miraglia in his best showing to date, Bruce Davis, Jirn Godlewski and Don Nash. Thursday's meet versus Baptist Bible College arroused hopes of victory on the part of the Wilkesmen. In an earlier effort, the Colonels had dropped an away decision to the very same teain after only nine days of practice. This meet , however, produced the same result with Bible gaining a 26-29 victory . Winning the event was Byron Brooks of Bible followed clos_ely by Colonel Cocaptain Bruce Davis with a time of 28-50. Davis was trailed by Monday's winner Sadvary, Miraglia, Godlewski and Nash respectively NOTICE .

This was win no. 100 in Wilkes Footbali annals. This game was marked by the fact that Ted Yeager did not gain his usual · 100 yards. However, the Catawissa Flash did account for 79 hard-earned yards and was sensational in covering Blaum's punts. The Indians got the opening kick but were soon stopped by the Wilkes's aggressive defenders. Although this same defense was "punctured" for 315 total yards, it constantly managed to rise to the occasion t9 thwart Juniata scoring threats. During this initial period , the ball was mostly on the Juniata side of mid-field. The most serious Wilkes threat began after Jones took a punt and returned it to the Juniata 41 yard line. A deflected pass was alertly caught by the tightend, Sillup, as Wtlkes seemed ready to record a score. Wilkes had the ball on the 17 yard line as the first quarter ended. Juaniata's lineb acker, Mercandante, played a.'1 outstanding game as he constantly stopped the Colonels runners for little or no gain. Following a big loss suffered by Giberson, a field goal try by Blaum was short from 39 yards away. The Juniata team, which has all 22 starters back from last year, was giving the Colonels difficulty with their 5-3-3 defense. Yeag~r and Yanora ran hard but neither could break loose for a big gainer. Again , Blaum had to punt. ·maums' kick sailed into the end zone and Juniata took over at . their own 20 yard line. The nixt play: 5'7" Dan Rackovan snared a bomb on the 43 yard line for a first down. Then the Wilkes defense asserted itself; Grandinetti jarred the runner after a 3 yard gain, Sparks was walloped by Cardinale and Galicki, and a halfback pass was smeared by Pat Ratchford and Bob Aston from their end positions. Galicki just missed blocking the purit. Four plays later, Wtlkes had to surrender the ball to Juniata. The Indians began to move ·the bali through the airways with some success. On a crucial 3rd down play, Cardinale and Graziano separated :Racko van from a possible first down pass completion. Juniata then punted the ball away from Jones and out of bounds. The Indians evidently have seen Mr. Jones run back punts on film all week. Two plays later, the first half ended. · At half, the Colonels seemed to decide how to cope with the counter plays in which Wilkes linemen were successfully "·trapped ." AJso of concern, was the defen'se to stop the "wish-bone" formation used by Juniata. · . The vesper half started with Maze racing down the · sidelines for a nifty 25 yard return. Ozgar then bolted for a 13 yard gain off tackle. Three plays later, a Giberson pass intended for Langdon was intercepted by Ziegler. · Juhiatas ground attack began to gain yardage . With the ball on .the 19 of Wilkes, Kerr made a brilliant effort to · deflect an apparent touchdown pass to Rackovan. Next, on a fourth down and five , the Indians tried a pass which was stopped by Grandinetti, C;uqinale, and Adamchak. Wilkes again failed to move the ball against their lighter foes. Yeager gained five , O:z;gar bulled his way for three yards, and then a pass was incomplete and Wilkes had to punt.

In other games it was Slocum overpowering the Froshmore and an Interdorm struggle found the Priapus Frenolles .over the Priapus Japs. High man for Dirksen was Fred Brickel with a 181 and _451. Gore's high was a 169 and 453 by Howie Rifkin. In Slocum's defeat over the Froshmore, it wa_s Chick Bloem's 204 and 502 that made the difference. While Sandy Petri's 173 and 445 was the Froshmore's best. Poom Man Miller's 185 in the second game of the match vyas the deciding factor of the downfall of the Japs, with Joey Leone's high triple of 467 bolstering the attack. High for the Japs was Tokyo Joe Iero with a 189 and 471. . :Pigskin Predictions By Raymond McNulty With tears on my typewriter, I must sadly inform you of the upcoming gloom for Colonel's rooters everywhere. The infallible crystal ball method, which I use on one prediction per week, states that Wtlkes will succumb to their visitors from Indiana, Pa. Before you call me traitor and suggest my being used at Ralston field as a "tackling dummy", allow me to explain the logic behind this illogical pick. The Maroon and Gray of Indiana have won five of their first six games, due mairtly to the return of 16 starters. The lone loss this year for the Indians was a 29-23 loss to the defending Lambert bowl champions, Edinboro in the last 30 seconds of the game. Meanwhile, the vaunted Wilkes defense has recently shown iitself to be vulnerable to several mental lapses at crucial moments in the game. Keeping this in mind, it seems plausible but not likely that Wilkes will defeat their highly touted opponents. The final score Will read Indiana 28-Wilkes-2 l. Those fans who attend this fray will be treated to excellent running by two All-American halfback candidates, Larry Monsilovich of Indiana and Ted Yeager of the Colonels. Denison to Trounce Muskingum This was supposed to be "THE YEAR" for Muskingum's Muskies, but so far it has been sheer disas er. Denison, is having another outstanding year (6-3 in 1970), mainly because of 20 returning starters. Coach Piper has his Denison club "Sky high" for this game in an effort to avenge last year's 40-20 loss. Denison lost a tough 8-7 affair with Ithaca early this year.. ESSC to Overwhelm Millersville The powerful Warriors of East Stroudsburg have been scoring an average of 20 points per game such touted opponents as Monclair, West Chester, and Kutztown. Millersville features an offense led by halfback Mike Ortman, while the defense relies upon two-time-all-conference end, Ralph Batty. Expect the ESSC aggregation to defeat the Marauders by a margin of 17 points. The ortly trouble ESSC will have is a tendency to mentally prepare for a bruising game the following week with Wilkes. Wo111en's Hockey by Kathy Davies and Val Aiello Oct. 13, marked a turning point in the women's field hockey season. The Colonelettes defeated Keystone Junior College by a score of 2 -1. At the half the score was 1-0, Wtlkes. But in the final five minutes of the game, Keystone threatened, and scored. This sparked the Wilkes line and in the following minute center forward Donna Doncses, scored with a quick drive from center. Freshman Carolyn Gregory was responsible for the other goal. In . the practices prior to the game; Coach Foster rearranged the offensive line which proved to be a contributing factor in the Keystone win . Miss Foster commented that it was the . first time the line functioned as an attacking unit. Powerful passes, dexterous dodges, and heap big hustle all_added up to an o-erall good game. Seeing Varsity play for the first was fullback . Gayle Kinback, replacing Debbie Backensto who was injured during practice. Center half, Stephanie Pufko, put in a good game in all areas. Increasing their winning streak, the Colonelettes handed College of Misercordia a 4-0 defeat last Tuesday. With the aid of an aggressive defense, goalie Laraine Mancuso had their first shut off of the season. The defense's interception of passes was the key to holding their oppon~nts scoreless. Senior co-captain Jean Adams lead the offense fired two passes that lead_to goals by Carolyn Gregory and Kathv Davies. A second goal was scored by Miss Gregory while Donna Doncses scored her third of the season. The Highlanders of Dallas had two shots at goal the. entire game which proved unsuccessful. J Metalavage experienced varsity p. for her first time. Currently the team is hoping to extend their winning streak with two games remaining.

A key play in this drive was on a fourth down and l yard to go fo r a first down at the 37 yard line of Wilkes. The Indian's Coradetti received the ball and was met instantly by Tony Cardinale, the bruising Wilkes Captain, who stopped the play for a loss. Giberson completed .a pass to Marion with three minutes left in the third quarter. The next play saw the Colonels fumble at the 35 yard line if the home team. On a second down play , Mastrorocca threw a pass to Kennedy who ran it to the Wilkes 4 7 yard line before Rich Masi made a saving tackle. Two more running plays netted the Indians 28 yards. The ball was on the 13 yard line of the visitors and a score seemed inevitable to the partisan fans who were watching this exciting game. Coradetti was smashed to the turf as the third period came to a halt. The game was still a scoreless tie. Two more runs were quickly stopped by Galicki and R.atchford; thus setting up a crucial fo urth down and eight yards to go fo r Juniata. The Indians then faked a field goal and threw for an apparent firs t down at the one yard line of Wilkes. However, an official spotted an infrac tion against Juniata and the play was nullified, much to the delight of the few Colonels rooters present. Then the Indians tried a pitchout to Sparks who was belted to the ground by Cardinale on a sparkling open field tackle. After an exchange of punts, the ball was on the 29 of Wilkes with only 45 seconds left on the clock. Lauber lofted a long pass into the end zone where Garf Jones recorded his 13th lifetime intercep tion at an crucial time in the game; thus depriving Juniata of a field goal try. A big pass rush by Ashton aided in this play . Things still looked bleak as the Colonels had to move the ball 80 yards for a touchdown against a team which had held them scoreless for more than 3½ periods of play. The crowd of over 5,000 were sitting on the edges of their seats in anticipation of some last minute dramatics. Jeff Giberson then unloaded a pass to sure-handed soph, John Marion who raced to the 46 of Wilkes. The clock now showed but 18 seconds remaining. A long "bomb" then hit Horan 's shoulderpads. A penalty was called against the Indians for pass interference. With time running out, Yeager ran for five yards and more importantly the ball was now directly in front of the goal posts. Terry Blaum entered the game with his holder , Dan Maze. The snap from center was a little bit high but the two freshman , Blaum and Maze refused to be rattled as the kick was good. Wilkes now had a 3-0 lead thanks to the talented foot of Terry Blaum. To add insult to injury , an onside kick by Blaum was recovered by Bob McBride of the Colonels suicide squad. This was the final play of the game. In retrospect, the game featured . some great clutch play by the defensive team but the offense bogged down too often. Our Colonels can't afford to gloat over this victory since the powerful Indiana (Pa.) contingent will be here Saturday, with several thoughts in mind- ruin, defeat, and humiliate the Wilkes Colonels in THE BEACON front of a large, Homecoming crowd at Ralston Field. Indiana is a high scoring team , so the Colonels must be functioning I 00 percent on offense and defense if they entertain any hopes of winning. NOTICE Reach-Out wil I be collecting money for the .

EXPANSION KEY WORD SG Considers FOR NEW PROGRAM New Changes by Pat Moran An interview this week with Mr. Michael Barone and Mr. Warren ~eArment, members of the now dissolved ad hoc comm ittee on teacher recognition and effectiveness, unveiled several points they felt had not been clearly pointed out or previously stressed. One of the major issues is that this committee, when appointed , will not be solely concerned with that eventuaJJy more "faculty evaluation." Its objectives meant students, more faculty , or possibly are varied and cover a wide range of possibilities. Among the things that members of the administration and the committee possibly will department chairme n also will be consider are such programs as included who as of now will not be team-teaching, seminars, on the initial committee. The committee, which will be self-evaluation and an orientation decided upon at the faculty program designed especially for new faculty members coming to meeting on November 2, will not be specifically designed to decide the Wilkes. Both faculty members stressed fate of faculty members, but in the fact that labeling .the program time it will have some affect. The "faculty evaluation" was much too program , when formally set up, will narrow. They pointed out that by be able to give the individual refe rring to it by its correct title, a teacher a better chance to evaluate commit tee on teacher recognition himself through group discussions, and effectiveness, implies that it an exchanging of ideas with h is will not be a rigid program but one . peers and the students and through use of audio-visual designed basicaJly to explo re possible different aspects of the educational equipment and questionnaires.

Homecoming Activities listed C:H:URC:H: SER -VICE For the first time, the Wilkes CoJlege Alumni Homecoming will present at Ecumenical Church Service at 11 a.m., Sunday, October 3 l, at the Center of Perfo rming Arts.

The entire Wilkes family - student s, fac ulty, ad ministra tion - are invited and are welcome to attend a coffee h our at the College Commo ns immedia tely after the service . In Calendar by Randy Steele Student Government recently discussed the possibility of changing the college schedule in order to attain earlier dismissals for the semester break and summer vacation. Lee Auerbach and Mike Barski set up an arbitrary schedule in which registration and classes would commence around the middle of August. Final exams would follow a week of vacat ion and be over by mid-December. Tony Cardinale argued that the early start would interfere with some of the professors' summer classes. He further stated that some students needed the extra couple weeks to fulfill employme nt obligations. Jim Loftu s felt that the schedule should consider work commitments but not necessarily adjust itself to them. Bob Linaberry suggested that registration fo r the faJJ semester be done prior to summer re cess in o rder to attempt to get classes star ted sooner. A more radical idea to change the coJJege schedule revolved around the four semester per year co nce pt to which Auerbach replied , "In my past experience with the slow speed in which Wilkes moves, it's better to get your foot in th e door first and work from there." Later, Howie Tune tabled the discussion to be conside re d at a future date . Auerbach targeted the discussion towa rd the possibility that Student ]overnment and !DC each ·obtami nt columns in the Beacon to double-check the reporting of the meetings.

(Continued on page 8) �October 21, 1971 THE BEACON Page 2, 1971 Editorially Speaking Con~ert Confusion. In an effort to clear up the confusion concerning the methods of attaining groups for concerts, Student Government President Howie Tune was contacted and asked explain _the procedures. We also asked Mr. Tune if it was possible to allow the student body a vote in the final selection of the group. The following information is the result of that conversation: to The Wilkes College Social Events Committee works through a booking agency in New York when they contract groups to appear at the College. We contact the agency, and they send a list of groups who will be in the area on the date we w ill hold the concert and the approximate cost of each group. Booking for the Homecoming Concert takes place in August, and the decision must be made as quickly as possible. If a list of choices were sent out to the student body, and the decision was postponed · until the votes were in, the group might already have been booked by another college. The Social Events Committee is responsible for the final selection of the group. This year the committee consists of Chairman, Mike Mariani, Rich Lukesh, and Judy Walsh. Mariani stated t.hat The Byrds were not the first choice of the committee, but were the only group who would be in the area and whose price was reasonable enough. Some students have stated that if we were willing to pay more money, we could attract a larger, better-known group; one which wou Id please a greater majority of the student body. As the Activity Proposal now stands, it is not possible to charge Wilkes College students for any concert sponsored by Student Government because that money is taken from the Activity Fee. The concerts are also held in the Wilkes Gymnasium, which has a limited space capacity; therefore the money made by selling tickets to people outside the college is not sufficient to cover expenses. We have held concerts in the Kingston Armory, but this presents a problem. The acoustics in the Armory are very poor, and oollege concerts are also frowned upon because of the damages which have occured in the past. Last year Canned Heat complained to the Musicians Union about the acoustics, and the union published an article concerning undesirable facilities in a newsletter which most musicians read . Consequently, we are not exactly the most popular college around as far as the musical scene is concerned. Tune stated that any student interested in submitting names of possible groups which · he would like to see should feel free to contact any member of Student Government. It is our hope that students will now understand the procedures and the problems which the Social Events Committee works with when the selection of groups is considered. Mutual Respect The library is a place to obtain information, but one other important function of the library is a quiet and often much-welcomed place to study. So why can't students study there? One of the main problems has been previously stated - a lack of consideration on the part of fellow students. But a more prominent problem is the lack of available hours in which to complete that study. Students who live in dorms will realize the difficulty often encountered when one attempts to study in a dorm, especially with open housing over the weekends. Able to leap tall building bills with a single bound? Maybe with a little help. ' It's impossible to ask fellow dorm students to give up their weekends of relaxation simply because one individual wants or has to study. The only possible solution would be the library and that isn't open on a Friday or Saturday evening or even late on a weekday. Tickets for the Byrds and Eric Anderson Concert will be available at the bookstore through Wednesday , October 27 , for Wilkes College students and their dates. Tickets for people other th~n Wilkes students As if this isn't bad enough, those students and their dates will be on sale October 28 and 29 in the Bookstore.

Financial problems often force students to procure employment during the school year, limiting their study time. The library hours · impose a further limitation. These students are paying tuition the same as everyone else.

The present junior class was the last group to be hazed .

I would like to extend my thanks for this opportunity to appeal to all newly registered voters to come out and support the candidate of their choice." The duty of the Recorder of Deeds, as explained to our reporter, is to record the transfer of realty, maintain an account on all fees colle,eted and finally aid lawyers (when called upon) to "search" property deeds. The office of Recorder of Deeds is not sponsored by the taxpayers money ; instead it is self-sustaining. When a person buys land, he pays a fee , it ·rs this fee which is utilized to financially support the office. Last year, the local Recorder of Deeds handled slightly over one million dollars in realty transfers and recording fees. After this money was used to pay salaries, and the overhead was paid, an excess of $30,000 was turned over to the county . While in office, the Pittston Democrat, has initiated several innovations. In 1957, he was credited with saving Luzerne County approximately $31,000 through the usage of a copying machine which he invented . The Wilkes-Barre evening paper featured an article and picture attesting to this fact. In 1962, Castellino started to use the Xerox machine before any other county and this resulted in the county saving about $5,000 per month. Now Castellino proposes the use of an electronic recording system which will make books and IBM cards obsolete . This system would include a TV receiving set in which a person could push buttons and view all the data he seeks in a manner similar to closed circuit TV . The system could be shared by all the offices in the Court House complex. Castellino has been employed at the Court House for a period of 27 years in various capacities with a two year interruption due to the military service in World War II as a U. S. Navy Petty Officer. During the years 1964-67 Castellino served as Chief Deputy Prothonotary and has been the Recorder of Deeds for_ the past four years. A list of clubs and organizations to which Mr. Castellino is currently an active member are as follow: past president , 20 years member of the Greater Pittston Lions Club; member of the board of directors of the Pittston Ambulance Association; member of the Moose Lodge; president of the Montedoro · Society (a Pittston social club); and vice-president of the Pennsylvania Recorders of Deeds Association, a group consisting of 67 men (one man per county).

It's the basic tendency of college students, particularly if they attend school away from home, to take their mothers for granted . Within a short time after the beginning of the school year , letters from school begin to dwindle. Shortly they become extinct. The letters from the home front become more and more frequent. After the first month, the letters come complete with stamps for the intended answers. If those subtle warnings are not heeded, the letters come with a stamped, self-addressed envelope included. A final but drastic step, and one that seldom fails, is for Mom to include a letter complete with questions and spaces either to fill in the blanks or check the appropriate resonse. Either way the effort on the part of the student is minimal. But do you think a typical student will take advantage of the opportunity for a ready-made Jetter? No , because it's too much trouble for him to walk to the mail box (which is directly on the way to the cafeteria). Come on, cut Mom a break, at least answer the fill-in-the blank Jetter. I mu st admit, certain students do make that extra little effort to write, only they forget to mail the Jetter which was carefully placed in a Lit book so as not to be forgotten. Consequently, the letter gets home in time for Christmas vacation, hand delivered. Moms worry - yea, they do . Not many students realize just how much they worry. The standard reply from Mothers who have students in college is "see that grey hair, it was a Christmas present from Billy and Mary." It's great to know that students do think of their Mothers especially around Christmas time. One of the best parts of going away to school is receiving those care packages from home , courtesy of Mom or Grandma . After all , no one should have to put up with caf food every day . The day a care package arrives in any given dorm is like watching vultures swarm around waiting for the prey to die. The lucky (?) receiver is immediately summoned to his room and everyone else in the dorm waits for the grand opening. But how many Mothers actually receive a short note of thanks for all the trouble and effort put into the packing and mailing of that package'1 I'd venture to say not many. But Mom still doesn't give in or take offense. After all, her son or daughter is busy going to classes and taking all those rought exams, spending all his spare time studying.

Her adoption by the Wilkes sorority assured her regular food, shoes and clothing, necessary medical care and a small cash grant to her grandmother each month for a full year. According to TDR's written history, the object of the sorority is to "give the women of the college an opportunity to ptan and direct social activities on the campus and to assist in a larger program of social training that will reach and include every student."

The problem of course, stems from the questionable format under which the station will operate. An article appearing in last week's BEACON (page 3) did not present a shedule, but offered a vague sketch of what programing will be forthcoming on WCLH/FM. The article however, did not search out the whys, and what this column is about to present will not answer all the questions and/or end all the gripes. It will however, shed a little light on why WCLH/FM is not going to be a hard rock station . WCLH/FM isn't going to rock the boat with the FCC before it gets its feet wet. The fact of the matter is , the opposition garnered against rock _.pmsic on the part of the administration is not what those students, including myself had believed it to be. The problem is, that after sinking literally thousands of hours of work into getting a radio station, the administration, led by Dr. Cox and Dr. Berg (and who can blame them), simply isn't willing to risk losing its FCC license two weeks after gaining it. The Federal Communication Commission, granted Wilkes College a 1dio station under the stipulation that its programing would be of an iucational format. Wilkes could easily turn around and play rock music welve hours a day, seven days a week, and WCLH/FM would find itself off -. lhe air to no one's benefit, in say two weeks. The problems would arise when commercial stations on the AM band (examples: WARM, WILK, WBAX) would complain to the FCC about an FM class C station, licensed under the stipulation that programming would be educational, was raiding their listening audience with uninterupted contemporary music. If the FCC found the charge to be factual, Wilkes would be subject to either a huge fine or its license would be revoked. Revocation would leave the school with more than $50,000 worth of useless equipment. A point often brought up in the argument for more rock programming is the King's College station WRKC and its heavy use of rock broadcasting. In such an argument there are important differences which cannot be overlooked. King's has a broadcasting power of 10 watts which falls far short of the 125 watts to be employed by WCLH. King's also broadcasts from an antenna perched atop Holy Cross Dormitory on South Franklin Street. WCLH will have its transmitting antenna on Mountaintop. It is easy to see that local AM stations give King's much leeway due to its rather small listening audience.However, when a class C non profit station, with a listening audience encompassing a radius of better than 50 miles, starts competing with licensed commercial companies, the FCC will hear the complaints loud and clear. And one can be assured that Wilkes we may well wind up with no station at all.

In conj unction with the activities of the Clean Environment Committee of Wilkes College, Peter T. Chokola has been invited to speak at the Center For The Performing Arts on Tuesday. His general program will include comments on pollution and recycling, and the topic will be "Ban the Can." Chokola , president of the Chokola Beverage Company of Wilkes-Barre, is a native of this area and is looking forward to acquainting the young people of this region with the points of his campaign against pollution. He has been working on the problems that non-returnable bottles and cans have created for our environment. The drive towards throw-aways, he points out, has not been due to public demand but merely to the selfishness of big business. By presenting his complaints directly to the legislators as well as the public, Pete Chokola has made tremendous progress for his cause. The Committee itself is also concerned about the crisis the use of these non-returnable has caused. They have initiated a Recycling Committee within the club to organize and publicize their own "Ban the Can" program on campus. A recycling center will be constructed and should be ready for use before the end of November. What is needed, though, is the complete co-operation of everyone at Wilkes- students and faculty. Two other committees have been set up within the club. The News Committee will function as a publicity valve for the club's activities. Their job will be to write articles for the Beacon as well as the local papers, to publish the ecology newsletter as a service of the club and to arrange their program for the college radio station. The Luzerne Lackawanna City Committee for Clean Air is co-operating with the Investigating Committee in locating, probing and prosecuting manufacturers who have been reported as polluters of the air and water in our region . . The club has definitely made vast progress since its inception last year, but the problem has now become one of manpower rather Jack of worthy projects. If anyone on campus is interested in any one of the committees or has any desire to become active in pollution control , please watch for the notices that will be posted before each meeting or contact Mark Chamberlain, president of the club . FOR UP-TO-THE-MINU TE NEWS ON THE M USIC SCENE Read Joe Middleton In The Wyom ing Vall ey Observer • 911 • Rated X College yearbooks yearly nearly die of dreariness when they're issued every June. It's refreshing to see one that's not the run o"f the paper mill - one without pictures of sorority sisters and their brothers crammed onto a divan, quarter-,half-and full-backs in their varsity drag, and beauty queens with shining teeth and pimpleless complexions. But last June, along came "Gumbo," a product of Louisiana State University and one of the first X- rated yearbooks. "Gumbo" got itself into producing an honest representation ofcampus life. Maybe she was too honest. Included in the book was a photograph of a red , white and blue marijuana cigarette; a series of satires on such sanctions as motherhood, and four photos of nudes taken fo art classes, which changed the book's rating from R to X. The State Legislature , however , wasn't so pleased . A resolution of disapproval was passed. Said one legislator, who once attacked the teaching of Shakespeare in the school system, "I've never seen more nasty pictures. A student cannot show it to his little brothers and sisters." And the LSU student- body president retorted , "Anyone who thinks that book has pornographic value hasn't seen very much good pornography." "Gumbo" follows an inevitable student press pattern. Four years ago, campus papers ran what were labeled "Obscene" words, back when the watchword, "telling it like it is," was teUing it as it was. Now it seems that yearbooks have gotten in the picture by getting in the pictures of nude bodies, student smoking habits and other aspects of life on campus. Maybe one provocative picture is worth a thousand four- letter words. Dale, Sigmund, Emily and Tom In a book entitled "Hitchhiker's Handbook, " author Tom Grimm gives hints on how to hitch your way cross- country, or just cross- street; With his suggestions, Grimm has changed hitchhiking from just another all- thumbs mode of getting a lift into an art form . Here are some of his suggestions: Look the driver in the eye. "Eye- to- eye contact makes him feel uneasy about driving past you." Use a designation sign instead of your thumb. Grimm says this attracts attention and gives the driver some information. He also suggests writing "Help" or "I Give Green Stamps" on your sign or just holding it upside down. Other Grimm hints include using a huge, fake rubber thumb to attract attention, traveling with a guy for protection if you're a girl, and having Thank You cards printed with your name and address engraved on them.

The Colonels are favored since Juniata downed Lycoming by only a 17-0 score · last week while our Colonels trimmed them 29-0. Last week the Ithacan Blue Bombers dealt Wilkes its first loss of the year. Wilkes drew first blood, striking pay dirt on a three play 47 yard drive that was capped by a 12 yard Jeff Giberson bootleg after Giberson had hit split end Dan Walters with a 35 yard bomb. Moments later the Colonels notched another score , this time driving 52 yards with another key pass to Walters and followed by Giberson's one yard sn~ ak into the end zone . The score was now 14-0 and visions of a Colonel cakewalk filled most onlookers minds. But then the Ithacan offense began penetrating the Colonel defense as if it were hot chocolate , and they were ·marshmallows. Quarterback Doug Campbell hit his flankerback Jim Moresco for one TD and then ground out another one-to have the score knotted at the half. In the third quarter the Blue Bo mb e r offense continued relentlessly and took charge of a 21-14 lead. Bur Wilkes retaliated. early in the final canto when Bob Ozgar popped over from the two to redu ce the lead . to 21-20 (PATwas blocked) . Wilkes was then beset by fumble s and a bl ocked punt and before they could regain their momentum, tthaca commanded a 34-20 lead , with offensive backs Bill Kleinelder and Mike Welsh leading the way in a running attack that collected 298 net yards against the Colonel defense. Giberson , who was 14 for 23 for 186 yards, howeve r, directed the Coi onels to another tally with halfback Ted Yeager galloping 16 yard s for the score.

In the same meet, the Wilkesm an dropped a 15-44 decision to a strong Delaware Valley team in Doylestown , Pa. In leading the effort versus both Delaware Valley and Leban oft Valley , Horning toured the 4.6 mile course in 25 : 13. He was followed by Duane Sadvary in 25: 14, Bruce Davis 25:32, Joe Miraglia 25:36, Jim Godlewski 26:52 , and Don Nash 27:45 . The Doylestown course measured 4 .6 miles and was the shortest distance the Colonels will compete at this season. Consisting of a sprint through the middle of the campus which took the heart out of the majority of the starters, the most difficult portion of the couJse was a quarter mile hill. It was here that Delaware Valley won the race and Wilkes finished second . The most di5mal aspect of the race surprisingly occurred before , rather than during the event. The Colonel Harriers arrived in Doylestown about half an hou r late. They were then required to suit up as quickly as possible , shown the course, and given only three minutes to warm up . _ A questionable display of sportsmanlike conduct on the par t of race officials was in evidence as the meet was going to begin at 4 : 15 regardless of whether or notopposing teams were read y. Compare this to a football game where a team walks out of its locker room door directly onto the field and commences battle. All athletes need an opportunity to warm up: Wilkes College was not afforded this opportunity at Delaware Valley. Perhaps we'd better remember this the next time Delaware Valley visits Wilkes-Barre. The Harriers now stand at 2-3, a fine mark for an inaugural sp'o rt. Upcoming meets with Susquehanna, Harpus, and Ithaca should put the Colonels to a severe test.

Too often , right? In victory it was that old Colonel "Pride and Potse," not the breaks of the game or any one individual superplay that buoyed them past their opponent. In defeat it was the halo of Wilkes "Pride and Poise" that not only negated the loss, but put to shame the victors who had dared to defeat the only real "good guys" east of the International Dateline. It didn't matter who we played - it could have been a team that featured Abe Lincoln, Jesus Christ, and Paul Revere ( who incidentally doesn't play for the Oakland Raiders) in the offensive backfield, and Neil Armstrong and Santa Claus on defense or how big a score they ran up against us, or vice..:.versa; we "out- Prided" and "out-Poised" them all. It's almost nauseating to see sports writers exploiting our gridders meaningful motto as a consolation for defeat. They often treat it as a football heirloom peculiar only to Wilkes College Grid Teams, which is nonsense. But it is no myth that time and again the Colonels have exhibited a • quality of tenacity that has earned them the respect of both friend and foe. Last Saturday was one of those times. It's not my intention here to make excuses for the Joss. "Almosts,""ifs," "ands," amd "buts," are shipped to their gridiron graveyard once that final gun sounds. Statistically, a loss is a loss is a loss is a loss; no two ways about it. And that was the case Saturday. The Ithaca offense moved the Colonel defense at least as effectively, and almost as far as did the team bus in transporting the Colonels to the game. And the squad will have to undergo a "fumblectomy" if they expect to win against Juniata, since "fumblitis" virtually killed them last week. ' But their amazing quality, call it "Pride and Poise," stubborness, or whatever you wish, was no more evident than mid-way through the fourth quarter when the Blue and Gold, who'd been in tile thick of things up until then, found .themselves trailing by three TD's. They could have rolled over, raised the white flag, and wilted. It wasn't as though they trailed 55-0 and had to score to save themselves from being disgraced. They'd played a pretty good game and now virtually all hope had vanished. 1ea/JJAiJU/• . C'd G---L... J: . .

TOOLE "I feel the present district attorney made a great mistake in seizing the film, 'I am Curious Yellow' and, as a result, the office in question received a poor image in the eyes of the public." These were the words of Democratic candidate , Patrick J. Toole, who expressed his belief in self-imposed censorship by the film industry . While stating that no specific issue was at stake, Mr. Toole revealed his displeasure with the fact that there has been no final conviction of a drug pusher in the past four years! Furthermore , he felt that more emphasis should be placed in the area of drug abuse and not strip mining. Attorney Toole's legal adivitics include serving as law clerk to Justice Benjamin R. Jones of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in 1960- 1961. Attorney Toole was a member of the Executive Committee of the Luze.i;nc County Bar Association, 1964-65 ; assistant District Attorney of Luzerne County, I 968; solici tor for the Wilkes-Bar re School District and is a partner in the legal firm of Winkler, Danoff, Lubin, and Toole . The two-year vete ran of military service stated his intention of changing bail procedure and eliminating some of the backlog in the scheduling of criminal trials. He also mentioned his de sire to institute the philosophical approach of prosecution. While se rving as Associate Editor, Toole and the late Judge Jacob J . Schiffman , wrote an article at Temple University 011 "Detention Damages in Eminent Domain Proceedings" which was published in the Dickinson Law Review. He has been very active in community activities as member of the Board of Directors of the following: St. Theresa's Little League, Luzerne County Child Welfare Advisory Board, Presidents Council of King's College; Luzerne County Legal Aid· Society; and South Wilkes-Barre Football for Buy s, Inc. Patrick Toole, son of the Jatc Senator Patrick Toole, graduated from St. Mary's in Wilkes-Barre ( I95 J ), froi;i 1 King's College with a B.A. ( J 957) , and was an honor graduate from Temple University School of Law , L.L.B. degree (1960).

Ju Ann Gomer, managing editor of the Beacon. stated that there has always been cha nnel s open in the paper for Student Government and IDC in which they could express their views. Also, in many instances, enough news si mply doesn't exist between Student Government and JDC to justify weekly columns. Tune turned the meeting's attention to the immediate need of getting appli cations out fo r student representatives for the Faculty Evaluation Comm ittee. He asked that they be placed in the library and bookstore. All applicants will be reviewed and rated by the Executive Council and approved by Dr. Michelini. Attcnion was next spotligh ted by Tune upon th e problem of the broken glass in the main bulletin board next to the cafeteria and suggested usi ng Jock s. Cardinale failed to see how Jocks would keep the glass from being broken and was against the suggestion. Auerbach re-focused the discussion to the feasibility of se tting up a publicity box near the bulletin boa rd in which material to be posted would be inserted . The general consensu~ was that the box would be stuffed withgum-wrappers and other such garbage , thereby serving little purpose . Student Government also granted requests for funds to the Chorus , Women's Activity Asso ciation and Polar Bears of $ 150, $125 and $125, respectively. Voting procedures were not discussed, but are to be a topic of the next meeting. ( From page 1) Ross Pia zza, so n of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Piazza, 99 N . Pion eer Avenue.

Their current tour to several states is being made under the auspices of the Association of American Colleges' Arts Program. The ensemble draws on a repertory of over five centuries of music from the courts and churches of the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Baroque. All members of the consort have versatile backgrounds that include not only mastery of their unusual instruments, but extensive study of the history of these periods and their performance practices. Joan Summers (soprano) began her career in her native Scotland, where she graduated from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and took part in the Glyndebourne and Edinburgh Festivals. Miss Summers has also performed with the Washington Opera Waverly Consort Vol. XXIV, No. 5 WILKES COLLEGE CAMPUS NEWSPAPER Society, the Chatauqua Festival, the American Opera Theatre Company and the Metropolitan Opera Studio. Constantine Cassolas (tenor), born in New York City, is presently a faculty member of the City College of New York music department . He has toured as solo recitalist and with the Lyric Quartet. In television he has also appeared on Camera Three and the Bell Telephone Hour. A graduate of the University of Michigan, Kay Jaffee (recorder, rauschpfeife, portative organ) continued her study of music at New York University, where she is presently a doctoral candidate in musicology. A free-lance writer on music subjects, she was formerly literary editor for Columbia Masterworks. Originally from Seattle, Washington, Sally Logemann (Baroque oboe, shawm, krummhorn, kortholt) graduated ' from the Manhattan School of Music and received a master's degree from New York University.

Voting will take place between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. in the Commons and between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. in the lounge of the New Men's Dorm. The queen and her court will be selected from among members of the senior class. Each student will be allowed to vote for five girls, the three with the largest vote being selected for the honor. Homecoming festivities for the queen and her two princesses include the crowning which will take place at the football game and a dinner-dance at the Hotel Sterling. Dr. Michelini will crown the court at half-time activities and National Alumni President Thomas J. Moran will present the girls with gifts. All members of the ~tudent body are urged to exercise their vote in order to make this year's activi_ties a success. Faculty Opens Seminar The first in a series of eight seminars by members of the Wilkes College faculty was held recently in the lounge of the Center for the Performing Arts. The Seminars included a wide variety of topics and are open to the college family and their guests. The opening session was a talk by Dr. Charles B. Reif, head of the Biology Department at Wilkes, on "New Knowledge, New Questions, New Implications in Biology." The commentator was Dr. Reed D. Acheson and the moderator was Dr. Stanko Vuiica. Dr. Vujica, regarded as the father and organizer of the Wilkes Faculty Seminar, served as chairman, assisted by James J. Bohning, Alvan Bruch, Robert DeYoung, Stanley Gutin, Eugene L. Hammer, Joseph H. Kanner, Charles B. Reif, Bing"K. Wong. This year the seminar has a slightly different format which, it is hoped, will result in even more interesting and lively meetings. In addition to the person presenting a paper, there is a commentator who makes a few brief remarks.

By Auerbach And Kubricki by Mary Covine Once again, Howie Tune, president of Student Government tabled discussion on exact voting procedure for all college referendums in a recent Student Government meeting.

The general concensus of the �Page 2 October 7, 1971 THE BEACON Editorially Speaking Relevant Learning A- Place To Study? The fall semester has gotten into full swing and along with it have come the usual complaints about classes and professors. We should never remain completely satisfied with the current situation, for the moment that we do, we reach a point of stagnation. Before criticizing the current pos1t1on, there are a number of points to be considered by each student. If any student feels that he is not getting anything out of a particular course,_ he should ask himself the questions just what is he putting into the course, and just what does he expect to get out of the P,articular course. Classes are not merely a place to sit and be entertained. They are a place for the exchange of ideas and an opportunity to challenge the facts and beliefs of others. Becoming a "grade-grubber" is not the right solution -either. Grades are an intricate part of any college career, but if they dominate so as to exclude any other form of learning, their position deteriorates. Orie of the most essentia l parts of education, and one that is often overlooked, is the individual exchange of ideas and knowledge between professor and student. Students should keep in mind that their professors are human and reachable. The minority of professors who skirt away from their students are simply not worth the bother. Wilkes ·is not a Utopia for higher learning. Responsibility for learning, which once rested with the teacher in high school, is now the r~sponsibility of the student. What a course means to him and what he gets out of that course are largely determined by the attitude which he assumes and what he wants to get out of the course. The recently suggested Student Evaluation system of courses is a step in the right d irection , assuming that the students will also do part of the work, by taking a genuine interest in these courses. Improvement and change have a very definite place in any institution of higher learning, but they have to be consistently carried out and taken seriously by each student. The problem of excessive noise in the library was brought up at a recent Student Life Committee meeting . Unlike many of the issues which the committee discusses, this condition has been brought about by students and can only be solved by students. First, the committee discussed various reasons for the noise, and concluded that perhaps it is due to the fact that there has never been a time when the library has been quiet. When new students come they find the library is as good a place as any for loud discussions, joke-telling sessions, and even· (yes, this has happened) football games. The committee then discussed possible measures to solve the problem. The obvious and easiest answer is of course to ask students who are creating a disturbance to be quiet. (But if you have been in the library and done just that, you know it doesn't work.) The next step, and perhaps one that should have been employed some time ago, is to ask students who are creating a disturbance to leave. It is apparent to anyone who frequents the library that some disciplinary measure is needed. But this leads us to a sincere question: Why? If you have visited other college libraries, you will find that most qf them lack our problem. The Wilkes College librarians object to playing the role of library police, although order in the library should be one of their ocncerns. If discipline is necessary, let us use discipline. But as students, shouldn't we ask ourselves whether the whole problem couldn't be solved more simply if we were willing to do something about it ourselves? The library is a place of study as well as a place to exchange ideas and views. But there are seminar rooms for group discussion. And if necessary, why couldn't the fourth floor be made available for students who wish to study together? \ Perhaps the library could inititate some sort of disciplinary system to maintain order. But the final answer is still up to the students. Is the library to be a place of academic st udy, or is it to remain a place for social gatherings? viewg~t UNIFORM UNIFORMS by Tony Nauroth I was all prepared to write a rousing viewpoint which would have won applause from all those who disapprove of wearing genuine, original , and official Wilkes gym suits_But then I had to go and get_the _facts! _S o before you run out and burn your gym suits in mass demonstration , lend thine eyes toward this stimulating dialogue between myself and the head of the physical education department, Mr. John Reese .

Would the repeated appearance of those pictures be taken as a sign of vanity, pretention, etc ., etc? Have you seen in the paper that the pictures of the editors accompany their editorials? A. Pictures that accompany editorials are one thing and pictures that accompany columns is another. The pictures of Miss Bednar and Mr. Jones accompanied their stories not their editorials. But why argue over little things like that? I have seen in many papers the pictures of the writer next to his column. Do you consider all of them vain, etc., etc? by Jim Fiorino Q.

Dr. Michelini recently made formal appointments of student representatives to the College Judicial Council and Faculty Committees for the 1971 -72 year. At the end of the Spring semester, applications were made to Student Government for positions on the committees. After review by the Executive Cabinet of Student Government , a list of proposed appoin tees was sent to Dr. Michelini for review and formal appointment. The purpose of the College Judicial Council, as stated in the final draft, states: "In order to establish an internal system at the college level which will prov/de an opportunity for hearing for students charged with violations of college regulations as set for th in guidelines for student conduct in the Student Handbook , a disposition of the charges and, at the same time , promote student, faculty and administrative participation i"n the hearing and the decision making process."

(Continued On Page 12) THE CONTINUING SAGA OF ELMO NIPPER 91} by Rick Mitz The list of Relevant Issues, as they are called, seems overwhelming: prison reform, women's liberation, crime, drugs, nuclear weapons, pollution, the Vietnam War, feeding the poor, the population bomb, the job market, 1972 elections, minority rights, the student vote, educational .reform , consumer information, the legal system, voter registration , foreign relations .. . That's a lot of problems for only 8.4 million U.S. college students to solve. And since eduation almost always has meant fighting for causes as well as - or instead of - grades, it's no wonder that in-depth disillusionment has draped itself over unsuspecting college students. The above problems all are maladies that students themselves didn't even create. The philosophy in recent years has been that the world has been bent, folded, mutilated . And stapled. For about the last ten years, students thought it was their responsibility to un-fold, un-mutilate, and re-staple the parts back together again. Now it's the dawning of a new era. Evolution of revolution. Sit-ins, teach-ins, riots , confrontations, bombings, moratoriums, rallies and strikes now are mere memories of the Sixties. After seven years of disoriented student disruptions , the Seventies breezed in. And with them , the War continued and we demonstrated. ... and we continued to demonstrate vehemently for and against what we did and didn't believe in . And the nation listened. Not to the message of the student protests, but only to the message of the medium - the screaming headline, the loud newscast, the acrimonious editorial about the student protests. And then along came Now. A feeling of futility has set in, bred out of frustration and confusion. Last academic year was a prophetic indication of this: campuses were calmer. An occasional rally. An occasional march. But quieter. · Why the change? The problems still are there , but our tactics have changed , if not vanished , according to Drew Olim , a National Student Association senior staff member. Olim said he sees definite symptoms of "withdrawal , defeatism , lack of direction and dropping out." He said he sees two possible reasons .for all this. "Money is gettiQg tighter. Prices are going up and parents are complaining. Students now are understanding the plight of the working-class man, and so they are dropping out and trying to find jobs," he said. . The Attica incident, and the continuing War are a few of the on-going frustrations that, Olim said, "have produced feelings of major disillusionment among students." Olim said he sees these as feelings brought on by a national student feeling of ineffectuality. Students have retreated within themselves in a quiet-dissent, self-exploratory way. And the result is a new individuality , a new (Continued on Page 12) by Tony Nauroth Elmo Nipper sat quietly on the stage at the Center for Performing Arts.

Believe it or not, there is actually such a person right here on the Wilkes College campus. This mysterious person often appears with a smiling face and a cheery' "Just checkin'' hope everything's o.k." Other times his arrival is announced in advance with a soft, low whistle . He's also that ever-helpful person who comes to assist when a lightbulb needs changing, or a lock needs checking; he's the little elf who makes the rounds checking doors to make sure that they're secure for the night. He's the sympathetic soul who tries to cheer you up after a long, hard, night of hitting the books. In case you haven't guessed by now that "little elf' is none other than Cecil, better known on campus as Koon . Clad in the blue shirt and dark blue trouser, he's also an official security guard. But the students and faculty who have really gotten to know him have come to realize that he's a lot more than just a security guard -- he's a genuine person who cares about Wilkes and the students here particularly. Cecil knows the students and the students know him and feel secure in relying on him in the case of an emergency. His friendly smile adds an air of confidence to the campus after dark, along with the confidence of knowing that any reasonable request will be answered within a minimum of time. Proctors have learned to rely on him in cases of emergency and even in the case of minor problems. "All work and no play?" Well this certainly does not apply to Cecil, as certain sources have seen him in the Commons actually relaxing and having a cup of coffee. BEACON staff members can really appreciate the need for a conscientious security guard with the long and often irregular hours put in over the weekend. There's a moral to this story buried somewhere beneath all the description. We complain about the poor security measures on campus, yet fail to appreciate someone who is dedicated to the job and to the ~tudents. Granted there is much more to be desired in the system, but there is 'also the need to realize how good we have it in certain instances, and cultivate that part of the system. I'm inclined to borrow JoAnn Gomer's phrase right now: Wouldn't it be nice if there were more security guards on campus who took their job seriously? Wouldn't it be nice if the students could appreciate the guards who care about them and really do their job?

His trial was about to begin and end in -swift succession. As he waited expectantly, the Court Spokesman read the charges which had been lodged against him, along with his verdict. "Case number 666, in the court of the High Tribunal. The prisoner is charged with inhabiting prohibited dimensions in the spatio-temporal realm. Since there is no possibility for innocence in this case, we find the . defendent guilty, as charged. He is hereby sentenced to undergo the test of the three chambers. Case dismissed ." Two guards hustled the prisoner to a large waiting room, which was empty except for a small speaker on the ceiling and a black door on the opposite wall. The prisoner read the sign on the door - "Chamber One." Then a voice emanated from the speaker ... "Your sentence is about to begin. You will pass through the black door, into Chamber One; at the opposite end of the chamber is a c'.oor which leads to Chamber Two; the same follows for Chamber Three. At the opposite end of Chamber Three is a door which leads to safety. Each chamber is designed to place you in a position of mortal danger. However, you may, within five seconds of your entering each chamber, select any weapon or equipment you desire, in order to defend yourself. Have you any questions?" The prisoner smiled, and then broke into fits of uncontrollable laughter. "You mean that's all there is to it? This is unbelievable .. . hey, if I get to the last door, will you let me go free?" "Put your mind at ease. No one has ever made it to the last door!" "What if I refuse to enter Chamber One?" "Within one minute, this room will be filled with a highly poisonous gas. Your only means of escape is through the chambers." The prisoner shrugged, "Well, what have I got to lose?" and entered Chamber One. He was immediately thrust into what seemed like World War III. Every type of weapon imaginable was being fired around his head. Thinking quickly, he begged for a lead suit of armor. Instantly, the firing ceased and a lead suit of armor was lowered to him from a panel in the ceiling of the chamber. When he had donned his uniform,the attack was resumed against him. The prisoner found walking extremely difficult, but lie finally reached the door to Chamber Two, unharmed. He hesitated for just a moment, and then entered the chamber. The initial shock felled him to his knees. Never in life had he experienced such excruciating sensual pain. A torturous array of pungent ordors seared his nostrils; his ears strained, at the mercy of the deafenif18 screeches which reverberated throughout the chamber; he was blinded by the beams of light waves which fell .upon his eyes. He cried out for a sensory-inhibitor, a device which deprives a person of all sensory contact with his environment. It was once used as a method of torture. Meanwhile, the prisoner's own torture had ceased momentarily, and he saw a sensory-inhibitor being lowered t9 him from a panel in the ceiling of the chamber. He secured the device, trusting that his ordeal had resumed, although he wasn't sure, because he could. see, hear, a.nd smell nothing. It was no easy task reaching the door to Chamber Three, considering the manner in which the prisoner was equipped. But when he finally got (Continued On Page 7) stuuents ,, ,ew MusIC• Departmen t J II• by Bob Leach .

In a effort to determine the outlook, we interviewe two semor music majors and avid ambassadors of the Music Department, Julie Levoy and Stanley Yunkunis.

Needless to say, plenty of work goes into the makings of artist such as a musician. Weekly practice ranges from an average 25 to 35 hours per week to prepare for as many as ten performances ye~rly. Add that to your daily homework schedule and you barely come up with enough time to sustain life!! Also included in their busy program is chorus or band, which is mandatory for all music majors. The Wilkes College Chorus, under the direction of Mr. Richard Probert, is comprised of 111 victorious voices (30 percent non-music majors) and the band, under the direction of Mr. Raymond ' Nutaitus, has 70 instrumenteers. One thing that has perplexed the students is that the three hours of rehearsal per week, not including performances is only worth .5 credits. But, Stanley says, "If you love it, you dorr't mind about the credit." The chorus is open to the entire campus and anyone interested in joining is welcome to visit Mr. Probert. What satisfaction is there? Julie told us, ''When I play it's a tense thing, but you must be able to concentrate and enjoy." Stan said the satisfaction from music is "Well, it's the love of music tha; makes you "want" to perform and after performing you feel that you have shared something with someone else, your music and your 'self." · VIEWPOINT (From Page 2) minor point will become yet another front for c"onformity vs. individuality.

Usually, she and her salesman husband look forward to the 25 ,000 young people who pour into the Pennsylvania State University in Staie College each fall because, in her words, "they liven up the town." Now, she's afraid they'll destroy the town. Mrs. Harkins, like many citizens of State College, is worried about the impact of the 26th Amendment, which lowers the voting age from 21 to 18 for young people across the country. "If these people can register and vote here , they 'll run the town." Mrs. Harkins says. She fears a student-elected town council or county government would raise local taxes and act against the best interests of the local residents. There are only 7,000 registered voters in State College which could mean that if the students all registered they would outnumber the local voting populace by more than three to one. Until this year, most students were not eligible to vote either because they were under twenty-one or because local laws prohibited them from registering. The county voting code insists that students sign an affidavit stating they will become permanent residents of the area and will pay local taxes. That has been sufficient to disc~urage would-be student voters in the past. The Pennsylvania Attorney General is expected . to rule this code unconstitutional. In 16 states throughout the United States, courts and authorities have held that students can vote where they go to school. If and when this happens in Pennsylvania, State College will feel the impact. In other college communities throughout the United States, similar fears are being expressed this fall about student voting. Even in larger urban areas, close elections will undoubtedly be affected by the new young voters. Concern over the youth vote is not restricted to those like Mrs. , Harkins who worry about the effect on local elections. The political future of President Nixon himself mav depend upon the 11.3 million people . between the ages 21 and 18 eligf,&-: to vote in the 1972 presidential elections. Of the half dozen or so organizations now waging major registration drives in the country, almost all share one goal in common - the defeat of Richard Nixon. Allard Lowenstein, a former New York Congressman and founder of the successful "Dump Johnson" movement in 1968, has spent the last eight months registering young voters throughout the country. "It's going better than we ever expected," he says. 1 Lowenstein's organization, called "Summer Registration," claims to have registered 30,000 of 56,000 potential voters in one New York county this summer. Similar results were achieved in a massive drive for registrations in California. Lowenstein tells his youthful audiences that President Nixon defeated Lyndon Johnson by 500,000 votes. If only half of the under 21 -group registers, they still will comprise five to six million voters, he points out. ''That," he says, "is more than enough to end the political career of President Nixon." Party registration figures lend support to Lowenstein's contention. Although the new voting bill was signed into law by Republican Nixon, the Democratic Party may be the chief benefactor. Early registration figures indicate that 65 per cent to 75 per cent of the young people signing up to vote are doing so as Democrats. This represents a sizable increase over national figures which give the Democrats 44 per cent of all registered voters, the remainder being split almost evenly between Republicans and Independents. While such figures give some encouragement to Democratic Party leaders, their significance is tempered by several phenomena. Among these are the traditionally low turn-out of 21-30 year-old voters, the tendency of voters once inside the voting booth to cross party lines to vote for particular candidates or issues, . and the importance under the ' electoral college system of the geographic distribution of young voters. . Because of these ·and other factors, White House politicians working for. Nixon's re-election are not convinced the youth vote will be decisive in the '72 presidential election. They point out that although five or six million new young voters may go to the polls next year , another 75 to 80 million adult Americans will also vote for a presidential candidate. Thus, the 18 to 21 year-old vote wm represent only six to seven per cent of the total. · Although this percentage could constitute a crucial margin, the likelihood of a youth "bloc vote" seems slight, particularly to those who remember the . strong support given to George Wallace by the 21-30 year-old voters of 1968. · Predicting the eventual impact of the youth vote is difficult at this point, but that fact has not dampened · the enthusiasm of several organizations in their registration efforts. Equipped with money , know-how and leadership, theyare determined to encourage young people , to register. · . · One ac'dve group , for example, is the Youth Citizenship fund , Inc., a non-profit organization which displayed remarkable success in vot~r registration last summer. With twelve paid field organizers and an office m Washington, YSF is now preparing a massive registration campaign in 305 college towns throughout the nation. The Wilkes College Faculty Art Show, which has become the unofficial opening event of the Wyoming Valley Art Season, was recently unveiled. · Two new members of the art department, Kathleen Matics, a graduate of New York University, now in her second year at Wilkes, and Henry Casilli, a Penn State graduate, are exh ibiting their wor.k for the first time here.

Working to make a reality of President Nixon's dream that "no qualified student who wants to go to college should be barred by he lack of money," the Senator feels that this bill "represents a major breakthrough for higher education." The bill contains four key provisions: I. A federal entitlement of $1400 to every student towards full costs of post-secondary education less personal and family contributions and not to exceed 50 percent of the college costs. 2. Assurances that middle-economic families will receive financial support to help meet the "crisis of soaring Advanced-Study Fellowships programs for Mexican Americans and educational expenses."

Although the Colonelettes were defeated 2-0 , the score was no indication of the game. The game was such an improvement over last year's 6-0 loss that even Mrs. Ramsey , coach of the Albright team , commended the Wilkes team on its improvement. Seeing varsity action for the first time were Lindsey Farley, Val Aiello and Kathy Davies. Returning starters were co-captains Jean Adams and Kathy Koterba. Other players were Stephanie Pufko, Loraine Mancuso, Donna Doncses and Debbie Backenstow; freshman starters were Carolyn Gregory and Kathy Haughey . Outstanding performances were displayed by Stephanie Pufko, Kathy Koterba and Loraine Mancuso. Thursday, September 30, also marked a disappointing defeat in the careers of the Colonelettes. Hosting Bloomsburg on Ralston Pitch, the team could not get it together. Suffering a 7-0 loss, Wilkes was unable to penetrate their goal. The defense could not stop the driving Bloomsburg line. Mellie Eagler and Gayle Kinback were given a chance at varsity play. Although the first two games have been disappointments, the team is working hard for a victory.

It was a day that won't soon be ·')rgotten by the folks. Such priceless slogans as Sterling Hall's "Welcome ,\ioney and Daddy .. . (and Mommy, Too)" greeted the parents who were fa ter to witness sterling performances by their offspring on the athletic fields. The Colonels and Colonelettes registered a pair of moral victories and o_ne _that was tallied in the win column Saturday. First the soccer squad, a1mmg toward what looks to be their finest season in history, took on Philadelphia Textile, a team ranked sixth nationally. The Colonels lost 3-~, bu_t the effort of the Blue and Gold can hardly be acknowledged in a '"smg hght. They fought valiantly and at one time had the score tied. This was the best effort Wilkes has ever mustered against old nemesis Textile and everyone walked away extremely proud of our hooters and' greatly aware of their improvement over seasons past. • Next, the women's field hockey team did battle against the Alumni team. The Colonelettes lost 7-1, but again it was a moral victory since the gals scored their first goal of the year against a defense that featured many former hockey all-Americans. Finally came the football game where the score 20-2 speaks for itself. The stout-hearted defense performed• particularly well in intercepting tlm~e passes, throwing Moravian's quarterback for several losses and picking up a loose fumble. Congratulations are in order for Bob Ashton who picked up that fumble and raced some 50 odd yards to the end zone out-distancing the entire Moravian squad. Unfortunately the official ruled that his knee had touched where he first latched onto the ball and the TD was nullified. Nevertheless it was quite a feat for a lineman. lntramurals The· Wilkes intramural program got underway last week with head ,-ordinator Coach Joe Skvarla predicting plenty of excitement for the u pcoming year. Intramural football kicked off• its season with Priapus taking the measu re of 262 , 2-0, while Slocum downed Webster, 7-0. Last year's defe nding champs, Dirksen meet Bruch Hall today in their first encounter of the year. Dirksen once again appears loaded with talent and has an excellent chance to repeat as champs. Games scheduled for next week are as follows : October 11 - 262 vs 61-63 West Ross, October 12 Webster vs Warner, October 13 - Priapus vs Grissom , October 14 Slocum vs Dirksen, October 15 - Colonels vs Gore. In intramural bowling, Slocum is back to defend its first place finish of l~t year. Team bowling as well as individual bowling are featured this year with an elimination tournament for individuals slated to start soon. It appears the league will be well balanced. Fearless Football Forecasts GARABEDIAN, BENE ROANE Ol/TSTANDJNG by Raymond McNulty Wilkes to Trounce Delaware Valley Revenge is sweet and so are our Colonels as the charges of Coach Schmidt atone for last year's 16 to IO setback at the hands of the Aggies. Wilkes has won six of the last eight grid affairs with DV, and this game doens't figure to hurt those statistics. I will be surprised if Yeager, the most elusive back to play in Pennsylvania since Lightnin' Lenny Moore was at Penn State, does not register at least two tallies. And let us not forget about the "Crime, Inc.," better known to you as the Wilkes defense, who seem to thrive on "stealing" passes, "intimidating" ballcarriers, and "murdering" enemy quarterbacks with sinister delight. Soccer co-captain Chip Eaton East Stroudsburg To Edge Kutztown This is a contest that might be called a battle of the "midget" quarterbacks: 5' 10" Terry Woginrich for Kutztown against 5' 8" Steve Mummaw for ESSC Warriors. This game will be one of revenge as ESSC makes amends for last year's 49 to 43 loss. The Golden Bears of Kutztown were decimated by a large loss of lettermen {21) including several top linemen. Edinboro to Throttle Indiana (Pa.) "Sweet revenge" will not be the theme of this game; instead , I prefer to title it "how the mighty have fallen." Undefeated Indiana, led by tailback Larry Monsilovich, faces a talented ErJ:nboro squad featuring 25 let.~_,nen, including their entire starting backfield, from last year's . 9 and I team. Edinboro won last year by a margin of two touchdowns and should repeat that winning effort this time. Soccer co-captain Bob Linaberrv by Jim Godlewski The Wtlkes College Soccer Team broke even during the week, beating the Greyhounds of Moravian College 4-0 and losing to the Rams of Philadelphia Textile 3-2. On Tuesday, the Wllkesmen shutout Moravian College 4-0 with the aid of 15 saves by senior co-captain, Chip Eaton. Freshman sensation, George Bene Hoane scored three goals to bring his total to eight for the season. Bene Hoane, who is a native of Ivory Coast in Africa , needs only five more goals to tie the record for the most goals in a season. Junior Ed Garabedian scored the other goal plus an assist. The win brought the Booters record to 3-0. On Saturday, October 2, the Blue and Golders lost a tough 3-2 decision to Philadelphia Textile before a large Parents' Day crowd. Textile opened the scoring by taking a 1-0 lead in the closing minutes of the first quarter, but the Rokitamen came battling back to tie up the contest with 14: 10 of the second quarter with a goal by Ed Garabedian and an assist from Rich ' Combellack. In a heavily defensive minded contest , Textile tallied twice in the third period to take a 3-1 lead, but with 44 seconds left in the same period Ed Garabedian scored his seconl goal of the day to narrow the margin to 3-2. Due to adverse field conditions and rain, both teams seemed sluggish and bogged down in the fourth quarter and couldn't muster any offense.

Individualism skips rampant through the student life-style. Give Peace A Chance chants have evolved into a new soft music, a new gentle sound of manifesting itself in quiet love stories in song. Small shops and co-ops have opened, selling hand-made, back-to-earth clothing and organic goods,a reaction against depersonalized mass-produced culture . Do-it-yourself attitudes accompany the do-your-own thing philosophy. We grow our own organic food, make our own clothes, build our own furniture, plan our own curricula, ride our own bikes instead of driving a car ... and the list is as long as the list of problems. But our newly-discovered Student Age of Individualism isn't beneficial if it isn't channeled in positive directions. Hopefully, in developing ourselves as individuals, we'll create the impetus to get back together and then get it all together. There seems to be a change of consciousness, but , hopefully, not a lack of it. Students are looking for new kinds of solutions. Hopefully , they are no less concerned about the problems. But if - through the vote and working within the system rather than without it - students can't be effective in changing our environment, another stage of disillusionment _ - one punctuated with apathy, discouragement and l 950's nostalgia - may set in.

This helps her to keep in shape for cheering, because cheerleaders just as football players, can be dropped from the squad if their performances deteriorate. Karen would like to see the cheerleaders receive some of the fan support that goes to the football team. She would also like to see more girls try out for the squad at the end of football season. ' 'Tum-outs at try outs," says Karen, "get worse every year." At try -outs prospective cheerleaders are judged on two cheers, a cartwheel and a split after three weeks of practice with the regular cheerleaders. They are then judged on appearance , voice and arm motions by Mrs. Saracino, Miss Foster, Dean Rome, Dean Hobrock and the football , basketball and soccer coaches.

VIEWPOINT See Page 3 See Page 2 Announcement was made two weeks ago t.tiat Dr. Eugene S. Farley, president of Wilkes College , wd'hld assume the role of chancellor upon his retirement July 1. The statement culminated a period of decision stemming from the offer by the board of trustees to Dr. Farley following their selection of Dr. Francis Michelini as Dr. Farley's successor. In his new capacity, Dr. Farley will devote his time to planning for the future of the College, fundraising, and alumni activities. With Dr. Michelini handling the daily problems of the administration of the school, Dr. Farley is free to do long-range planning. It has been stressed that while the two roles will be related, both men will work in different directions. Dr. Farley's new role follows_34 years as president of Wilkes. During that time he has guided the growth of the College from one classroom building and less than 200 students, to a campus of 54 buildings and a total of 5,000 day and evening students.

Dr. Michelini, former dean of Academic Affairs, has been asso:;iated with Wilkes College since 15 'years ago when he joined the Wilkes ,faculty. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry from Seton Hall University, his MA in biology from the University of Delaware and his PhD in biology from the University of Pennsylvania in 1955. He theri joined the faculty at the College as_ an assistant professor in biology. A veteran of World War II, Michelini earned the Combat Service Star during the Rhine Campaign while serving with the U.S. Army Air Force from 1944-46.

Upward Bound is a special project sponsor~d by the Office of Education and Wilkes College. This year's project will take place from July 13 through August 21. These 41 students will enjoy the benefits of living on the Wilkes Campus and will attend classes taught by Wilkes professors. For the first five weeks of the project, the students will attend classes i_n mathematics, English, reading, and writing. Special courses such as archeology, art, photography, and Black studies will also be offered. These courses were chosen according to suggestions from the students themselves. · During the last week of the program, the Upward Bound group will move to Camp Acahela for a career and occupation week. The students will cooperate with the Boy Scouts of America and become members: of exploratory troops to investigate possible careers for their future. They will still attend classes, but will also enjoy participation in athletic activities. Speakers have been invited to address the students on different vocations and occupations. Among the topics to be discussed will be law, business education, sociology, banking, real estate, and college education in general. Upward Bound is not only limited to six weeks in the summer. Rather, it is a working project throughout the entire school year. The students have continuous guidance and counseling on their future and the college they plan to attend. Under the leadership of Dr. Eugene Hammer, chairman of the Education Department, Matt Fliss, assistant director, Mr. Edwin Johnson as guidance counselors, and Mrs. Lyons as secretary, the project has successfully progressed into its fourth summer. During the year the students travel as a group to cultural and educational events. A newspaper is put out by the students, arid tutoring is available in many subjects. This summer there will be six tutors to assist the group. Throughout the nation there are 270 colleges that participate with Upward Bound. Hall. The College has an operating budget of $50 million with tangible assets at more than $ 20 million. The budget has grown $7 million from 1963-69. Dr. Michelini is also active in community affairs. He has been chairman of the Wilkes-Barre Model Cities Policy Board, director of Nesbitt Memorial Hospital, Family Service Association, Welfare Planning Council, Wyoming United Fund, Greater Valley Regional Medical Program, and the Northeastern Medical Program, and the Northeastern Pennsylvania Heart Association. Michelini has also served on the Governor's Committee on Vocational rehabilitation, and was a member of the Charter Study Commission of Wilkes-Barre. Dr. Michelini is married to the former Anne Marie Sterner of Lansford. The Michelini's have three daughters' Michelle, Lisa and Lucia. NOTICE The Philadelphia Folksong Society has set Friday thru Sunday, August 28-30, as the dates for the ninth annual Philadelphia Folk Festival. As usual the Festival is to be held at Old Pool .

The problem is, what should the Beacon concern itself with? What is the proper course? The answer, logically and humanely is, the course that most concerns itself with life's basic component, the individual. Obviously, any yardstick, especially such a subjective one as individuality, bethe misused. Scien- _ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ ___________ ___. tists find thatcan even most careful experiments tend to confirm their hypothe sis. But let's try to use our yardstick, and maybe you'll agree with me and maybe not. Anything is better than blind prejudice. So how does the afore-mentioned Joe College measure up? I mean the ideal, pure, Jo~ College, with his endless succession of athletic • events, social functions and fraternity parties; his total subserviance to arrtrks. (I guess we all know people who are about on the verge of mental and/or physical collapse over those arbitrary little ink blots:) Stifling Stereotype In my opinion, the Joe College stereotype, which is acted out to differing degrees by many students is totally stifling to individuality, and thus, by that yardstick, bad. If a person makes a conscious choice to insert his individuality into the machine of society, believing that he will indeed be happier and better off after being squashed and polished to specification, then perhaps the Joe College ideal can be seen as a positive good. Joe doesn' t have to think , society is always there to tell him what is important. In school it's your cum that counts. Isn't it a good indicator of your overall value as a human being. It's used as such, no question about it. After school, money takes the place of marks and bosses replace profe ssors as the Gods who hand out ·rewards and mete out punishments. In his narrow green world of success, the best Joe can hope for is to convince the Gods that he is fit to enter their ranks. Since guidelines are always omnipresent, and society goes so far as to define its own version of happiness, there is no chance for error or subsequent failure. Success automatically accrues, in some degree, to those who prostitute themselves to the straight and narrow. · Rules Meaningless? But are success and happiness that important, especially when they are of the plastic variety, by, for and of an artificial society? Inherently, "rules" are meaningless. It is people who are willing to abide by them who give them their dubious value. To blindly follow the stringent set of dogmas that are the backbone of society, means to· me, to give up individuality. It seems an easy way out, a super expressway through life; easy to travel ; fast; but all con(Co ntinued on Page 4) Charles B. Waller . With the death of Attorney Charles Buckalew Waller on Friday, June 12, in New York City, Wilkes College and the community lost a dedicated friend. Atty. Waller was a man of many interests and much influence in the Wyoming Valley. By profession, he was a lawyer, serving as a senior partner in the law firm of Bedofrd, Waller, Griffith, Darling and Mitchell, with offices in the United Penn Bank. But the personality of Charles · Waller rose far above the confines of his chosen profession. In his eighty years, he served not only in · the field of law, where he was regarded as an expert on the Constitution as well as business and banking law, but also made significant contributions to the daily newspaper field in the city, education, banking, civic and community pr~ jects. Waller found time to serve in responsible positions with some of the most stable institutions in this area. Until January, he served on the board of directors of the First National Bank of Wilkes-Barre. He was appointed general counsel for the bank and named director emeritus and a member of First National Bank Foundation. _ Twice Atty. Waller was chosen as a delegate to the Republican NationAtty.

Recall the photographs.of bearded troublemakers parading for numerous and vague "causes." That's the popular image of the typical college ~:udent. Fortunately, the Biology Department of Wilkes College has gone a long way to dispel both inaccurate pictures! · Under the direction of two professors, Dr. Thomas Mizianty and Dr. Donald Tappa, the results have been to the benefit, not the detriment, of the college and the community. True, biology majors still have to spend many hours doing lab assign- · ments. It is also true that many · senior biology majors spend a great deal of time publicizing their " causes." But the two professors combined both activities - and it has added up to an enthusiastic community involvement. · Five members of the Senior class are shown examining data collected from their recent project on the environmental problems facing Wyoming Valley.

Standing, left to right are Jay Goldstein, Kingston; Jack Bl~nnett, city; and Dan Kopen Forty Fort, who participated in the project. ' on pollution and conservation. Others attended town meetings in Tunkhannock to discuss a proposed nuclear plant. Many students with literary inclinations inundated national magazines with letters and articles, and some investigated matters of vital importance to Wyoming Valley - such as the effects of miner' s asthma and the burning culm banks. • Last spring, plans were formulated to observe F.arth Day locally. Much of the success of the involvement program can be understood by talking to some of the students who carried it out. Changed Seminar Mizianty and Tappa changed the format of the senior biology seminar class at Wilkes five years ago. It was their aim to make the subject ~ atter relevant to the community. Dr. Tappa explained, "Dr. Mizianty and I felt that the class, as seniors, should be ready to put 'into action' some of the training they had feceived during their four years in the major." To that end, each student was expected to participate in some actEarth Day Project ive project within the area.

Activate Others Blannett worked primarily with the Wilkes College Student Committee for a Clean Environment. During the campaign he stressed the long range goals of his group, "We are ready to establish a permanent, open organization which needs activated people to activate others." This points up an unplanned, but satisfying result of the seminar. Students pursued their interests with a dedication that did not seem to end with the final grade from a professor. Once involved, students tended to follow up their interests. The influence was felt in many ways. Dan Kopen, a graduate from Forty Fort, looked like the quiet, serious chemistry student he is the only non-biology major\to take th!! course. Kopen's appearance is deceiving. Serving as Student Gov- . ernment President during the past year, he compiled a commendable record for maintaining relations between students and administration in shaky moments. At commencement he was honored as the Outstanding Graduate. Kopen is no stranger to problems in communication: as his project he undertook visits to high scJ:,iools from West Pitt st0 n to 1>lymouth, speaking on our environment. Kopen worked closely with Jay Goldstein, a fellow classmate and his vice president in student government. Goldstein participated in all the school visits. The results were excellent, but not entirely what they expected. Two other students worked together as a team lecturing to juniors and seniors in high schools. David Roberts, Kingston, and Bernie Holleran, city, discussed air pollution and related respiratory diseases, and found later that most schools wanted the program continued. Girls Help Too!

The film, appropriately entitled, "Woodstock," is a critically acclaimed Warner Brother's motion picture presentation of the unforgettable three-day celebration of peace and music. Out of his cowboy jacket and boots the "Midnight Cowboy," Jon Voight, looks like the typical cleancut boy. Maybe that's why Warner Brothers signed the new star for the title role of "The All-American Boy" from the kaleidoscope world of New York the once-aspiring stud finds himself in a small town portraying a young prizefighter who dreams of being an Olympic champion: ' "The Presbyterian Church Wager," based on the novel "McCabe" by Edmond Naughton, is set in the Western town of Presbyterian Church in the 1890's. It is the story of a small-time gambler, played by Warren Beatty, his love affair with the madam of a brothel, played by Julie Christie, and his battle to save the town from being taken over by the Eastern mining establishment. The film is a Robert Altman-David Foster Production for Warner Brother's. Altman, whose "M.A.S.H." is one of the biggest hits of the current film season, will direct the new film, which marks Beatty's return to the studio where he scored in the fabulous "Bonnie and Clyde." From out of the past come such legendary characters as outlaw Billy the Kid and Sheriff Pat Garrett to join Academy Award winner John Wayne in a new western drama "Chisum." Wayne stars as John SiinpsonChisum, who, involved with the above heroes, became a key figure in the great westward cattle · drives in the 1870's. - (Continued o n Page 4) New Graduate ProgramProvi.des I WHAT • WHERE • WHEN M.S.

Dan Kopen, honored as outstanding male dorm student and graduate during commencement activities. More than 500 seniors from Wilkes were graduated as members of the class of 1970, receiving their diplomas in the gym on June 1st. The commencement followed the traditional baccalaureate ceremony, held the previous day in the gym. At the baccalaureate, Dr. Eugene S. Farley, retiring president of the college delivered the address "To Rebuild the Broken Image" - his last major address as president of the college, a post he has held since it was chartered a_s an independent liberal arts college in 194 7. Th~ graduates gathered on Chase Lawn to begin the procession leading the twenty-third annual commencement. At the gym; the seniors heard Kenneth G. Northrop, president of Holt, Rinehart and Winston, New York publishers, deliver the graduation address. A 1951 Wilkes graduate, Northrup spoke on the theme, "The l 970'sThe Quality of Life." The formal ceremonies climaxed a hectic week, beginning Wednesday, May 27, at the Treadway Motor Inn with the annual semi-formal dinner dance. A picnic at Dr. Farley's farm was another exciting event on the senior's schedule, taking them back to the place they had been greeted as freshmen four years before. Following the graduation, seniors and their families were feted at a party at the Treadway, sponsored by the Wilkes Alumni Association. The graduation ceremonies followed a traditional schedule. At Baccalaureate, George Conway, a member of the graduating class, of: fered the invocation. Following Dr. Farley's address, Richard Chapline, and Liselotte Schmidt presented a musical selection by Bethoven. The Benediction was offered by Reverend Dr. Jule Ayers. Dr. Ayers also offered the invocation at commencement. Following Mr. Northrup's graduation address, degrees and certificates were con- terred by President Farley. The deans of the College presented the following students to be graduated with honors. In the Bachelor of Arts program, graduating Summa Cum Laude were: Bernard Evanofski, Gloria Fierverker, Mary George, Nancy Kowalski, Elizabeth Malloy, Barbara Morrison, and Patricia Srna. Graduating Magna Cum Laude were: Joan Marie Butnor, Carl Broski, Thea Chesluk, Maureen Clinton, Carl Cook, Joan Gillespie, Paulette Giomboni, Anneta Hawthorne, Thomas Jones, F. Kevin Lughran, Helen Morgan, Robert Ockenfuss, Louise Ricci, Karen Shook, Robert Spisak, Judith Ververs, Lea White, and Russell WilIiams. In the Bachelor of Science program, the following seniors graduated Summa Cum Laude: Earl Balliet, Janice Saunders, Mark Stair and Andrea Wargo. Magna Cum Laude graduates were: James Belles, Robert Burke, Kay Huber, Thomas Jones, Virginia Larson, and Diana Stinziano. · Cum Laude graduates were: Louis Bonita, Donna Edford, Bernard Holleran, Dan Kopen, Kathleen Line, Sheryl Lucker, Joseph Putprush, Richard Stankus, Robert Stark, Lewis Strouse, Johnyne Supulski, Thomas Varinecz, Elaine Yanksoky and Charles Lengle.

Letters to Editor · ~elp Jlromote Jleate The class of 1970 is gone. The mortarboards and robes have been set awa y fo r another year. The remaining weeks in J une are reserved for brides. This should seem to mark the end of thoughts of graduati on . However, those who survived the ordeal in the gym on June 1st, are not so ready to let th ings go at t hat. An ordeal it was-and t he sad part is tha t it n~ed not have been qu ite so bad. First of all , hold ing a graduation fo r 550-plus students in a steaming gymnasium is a colossal error. There is simply not room to jam everyone in-and after Mom and Dad have fo rked over many t housands to put ju nior th rough college, they deserve to at least see the cu lmination of their sacrifices. Instead, they must sit on bleachers with no air, the temperatu re set around 80 or 90 degrees. Second ly, splitting up the days for bacca lau reate and graduation make it even harder fo r the parents and friends to be here. They must either make two trips to Wilkes- Barre, or pay to stay over and eat meals. This would be inconven ient enough- but they must also take off a day of work to see the graduation since it is held on Monday. Again, t here is nothing memorable about the graduation. It becomes a business-like procedure, w ith few of the sent imental moments associated wit h such occasions. The answers are quite simple. First of a ll, combine all the events in a Sunday. Baccalaureate cou ld be held Sunda y morn ing or early in the afternoon. Graduation itself could begjn at 6 or 6 :30. To solve the seating problems c:md the heat prob lem, it would be easy to move the exercises to Ra lston Field. Outdoor graduations are increasi ngly popular-t hey are cooler, if held at the proper ti me it is still light outside but the sun doesn't glare. Parents can sit in t he bleachers with an excellent view of the proceed ings. The gym cou ld be reserved for an alternative place in case of rain . Finally, what is wrong with some of the little extra things some people here put down as "highschoolish?" Having the seniors walk · in through an archway or honor guard, perhaps having the girls carry one long-stemmed rose, the simple ceremony of reversing the tassles-these things all make the moment more memorable and solemn. Isn't it time someone reviewed the graduation ceremonies to make it indeed a time for joy, not an excedrin headache? . Co-Editors THE BEACON . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . • . . .

Barnett, president of the National Strategy Information Center. In what seemed to be rather an alarmist article in Parson College's Portfolio, Barnett claims that 85% of our nation's student press is controlled by the SOS. I will agree that many campus papers often express militant views, but I feel an estimated percentage of 85 is way out of line. The SOS is not an organization to be ignored, but an article claiming such an overwhelming SOS influence without offering any evidence is not easy to swallow. The Muhlenburg College faculty recently voted to eliminate the college requirement which had compelled all sophomores .and seniors to take the Graduate Record Exams. In discussing the abandonment of the requirement, Dean Philip B. Secor claimed that "Our experience indicated that the data received from the tests is not very reliable in terms of evaluating the relative success of our curriculum." . This is due to the limited sample of scores obtained in various areas from Muhlenburg's small student body. At Muhlenburg, students taking the exams are sophomores and seniors, while at other schools graduates often take the tests. A comparison of the test scores is, therefore, meaningless. In addition, many graduate schools no longer require the tests. What more can be said outside of "That was a wise decision Muhlenburg!" The men of Priapus Hall may be happy to learn that their announcement in regard to dorm visitation was indeed printed in College Misericordia's campus paper. In wishing you luck, allow me to suggest changing the old "Hands Across the Sea" adage to "Hands Across the Susquehanna" and adopting this as your dorm slogan. After all, the bus from Miseri must be due. (Continued from Page JJ George and Earl fam\s Balliet, the students maintaining "the highest averages in four years of study.

(Continued on Page 8) Art Hoover Recently Selected Director of Alumni Relations Resume ·Shows Results Accomplished By Groups This year has been marked by much change and controversy as well as an exemplification of what student groups and the Adminis·tration can do with a little initiative. Changes in school policy and student privileges began in May of 1969 immediately after the IDC and SG elections. For the first time, the circular lounge of the New Men's Dorm was open to female visitors. Art the same time, plans were started to move the bookstore to the basement of the Men's Dorm and plans were being se:t for Student Representation on Faculty Committees. During the summer the bookstore was relocated, women's curfew hours were changed, and dormitory rules were revised. Changes also occurred in the Freshman Reading Program - this year students were completely in charge. The program proved to be mos:t effective. After almost a year's work, Student Representation on Faculty Committees was approved by faculty and Administration and in early October the plan was implemented. The traditional hazing program also incurred revisions for this 1969-70 year with the enactment of more stringent rules and a complaint board. Even ·though problems came up, hazing will be part of the program next year. Also announced in September by the Administration was the visit of the Middle Atlantic States Accredita:tion Committee which would evaluate the school and the curriculum. The Committee completed their evaluations last month with three days of conferences with s'tudents, faculty, and Administra:tion. Predominant throughout the year were 'the service organizations of SG that took an ,a ctive interest in community and College projects. Project Reach-out took children from ne•a rby orphanages and homes on all-day outings, the tutorial program was once again installed, and the College began a Red Cross project organization to help in disasters. SG and IDC Outstanding The most outstanding work done by SG and !DC, however, was their writing proposals and passing them through the proper channels. The three most controversial were Dormitory Visi'ta:tion, No-Curfews, and Off-Campus living. February marked the culmination of almost a year's work, a year of negotiations, compromise, and communication. February 14 will always be remembered as the end of the three-day sit-in when One of the most familiar faces on the Wilkes Campus is that of Art Hoover, recently named Di- students united to le,arn reasons and be recognized. rector of Alumni Relations. Hoover has been active in one position or another since his graduation from Wilkes in 1955. He claims to be enthusiastic about his new job, which entails much more than a move from the second floor to the third floor of Weckesser. His primary goal is to involve the alumni in college projects and activities. "I'd like to see the alumni return to the Campus more than once a year at Homecoming," the new dfrector says. Hoover's background well qualifies him to deal with the College alumni. At graduation (cum laude), he was named Outstanding Graduate of his class, and during his senior year was named to Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. The following Sep'tember he joined the faculty in the Commerce and Finance Department. During the next few years he attended graduate school, receiving his Master's in Business Education from Penn State in 1959. He continued his graduate work at Bucknell, Lehigh and Penn State. At Penn State he was accepted as a candidate to work toward a doctorate in counselor eduoation, specializing in personnel services. . In 1962 Hoover joined the Administration, where his duties included serving as Director of Financial Aid, Resid ent Halls and Student Activities. From 1957 through 1964, he also served part-time as Director of Sports Publicity. These activities kept him busy until he was named Assistant Dean in charge of Student Affairs. This was the job that brought many students to the second floor of Weckesser. His duties were diverse, and the mock sign above the door saying "Dean of Complaints" was not really far-fetched. Born in Nanticoke and raised in Glen Lyon, Hoover has served as dorm proctor for 15 years. He spent 10 years as proctor at Butler House on River Street, and the previous four years in Roose - SG wasn't only concerned with these three proposals though. The group worked hard on the Dissent and Due Process statement to erase much of the misunderstanding the original document contained. They also attempted to have the final examination policy changed so that all students would not be required to take them. Through the 'efforts of SG and the Calendar Committee a revised calendar was formulated for next year. It was not accepted, however, because of the lateness of Labor Day weekend. Change had been attempted though. Decision Reached: No Financial Aid For Living Fees The NEW Committee, a committee composed mostly of freshmen that was started this year, also brought about changes for the students. They installed games and recreational equipment in the Commons and devised a plan for student supervision. Recently, they proposed an Unlimited Cuts Policy plan. It is going to be presented to the Administrative Council. At last Tuesday's Administrative (Continued on Page 8) Council meeting a decision was reached to classify dormitory students who will reside in off-campus living accommodations as commuter students.

Arthur Hoover velt House of the New Men's Dorm. Hoover plans to discontinue his proctoring duties next semester because of the large amount of traveling that Will be necessary for his new job. He explained that he will attend meetings and social events in various citie~ where alumni chapters are located in order to meet the alumni personally. He views long-range plans in which alumni will take over the financial responsibility ' of the College and will participate in many of its projects on a personal basis . Hoover was recently chosen as a member for the Kiwanis Club of Wilkes ~Barre, and 'is a member of Iota Alpha Delta, a professional guidance fraternity ,• and Delta Phi Epsilon, a professional business education fraternity . .. The Financial Aid Committee met and drew up a formal recommendation for the Administrative Council. It was decided that the resident students moving off-campus should be clasified as commuter students because: they ~ ill move off-campus on their volition, in the past the college has used only those funds payable to the College as a basis for financial aid, commuting expenses for day students have never been included in financial aid, and the added expense incurred if these students received aid while at the same time giving •a id to students who moved 'i n their places in the dormitory.

A sense that acknowledges achievements and at the same time a sense that realizes mistakes and developes the courage of correction. No one ever said that a change was going to be good or fair. Of course this is the intent but it may not always be the outcome. No one ever said that what is learned in the past should be forgotten, yet many times it is. This is part of the reckonin·g that Wilkes College should face. Granted, there have been many changes, . revisions, and omissions in school policy this year. We have experienced new realms of communication, understanding, and trust. Now is the time to utilize our knowledge, . understand our changes and look ahead. The changes that were implemented for the 1969-70 year wii"I not necessarily satisfy the needs of the 1970-71 year. After all, 'there is nothing as permanent as change.' Perhaps this is what makes the brutal murders on the Kent State campus last Monday so totally unbelievable. None of the four lifted a rock - in fact, two were hurrying to class and the others were standing aside watching the action. Following the killings, the father of one of the coeds, Allison Krouse, made an emotional statement to the press expressing what many of us were thinking.

Wilkes College should be at a time of reckoning. We have accomplishments, yet also we have a future. We still need better communications , students still need to be acknowledged, the Administration still needs to be trusted, and everyone needs a chance. striking of colleges. After all , educating the leaders of tomorrow should be of prime importance right now. At the same time, efforts should not be made to hurt the college or show dissatisfaction with it, but rather to make an impression on our government. If people are SINCERELY interested in peace and freedom, then they should make peaceful, constructive efforts by uniting for a cause, by educating, and by putting the pressure on the right people. · · Peaceful demonstrations are fine, as long as they don't disrupt the education that our country needs. Peaceful demonstrations are fine as long as they don't bring about contempt and alienation. What is needed are debates, forums, teach-ins, and constructive groups to continue the questioning that is being started now. What is also needed is honesty and a facing of the real issues at hand. The war is no longer overseas, it is here, now. Why not give a damn and unite? IN MEMORIAM None of them was a radical. One was an Eagle Scout and one was a future speech therapist.

His question lies carved in our minds, along with the image of his grieving face and shaken voice. We wonder what those four sets of parents feel - knowing their innocent children died because of a "mistake." Nothing can bring them back, so the best thing anyone can do is to remember them and how they died. Each of us in our own way should set aside this weekend to pray for them, all to pray that such a horrible event never again happens in America. The most ironic thing of all is that Sunday one of the coeds placed a flower in the barrel of a guardsman's rifle saying, "Flowers are better than bullets." Too bad no one listened.

Our country seems to have reached the point where it thinks that it can solve all the problems of the world; too bad it didn 't take time to look around at its own internal distresses like pollution, ghettoes, poverty, education, and inflation. What is happening to our country when people won't realize that the time has come to question our commitment to As ia - when people are killed in an effort to voice opinions for peace? What is happening to our College when faculty members are afraid to face the real issues o fthe time - and even discuss the war? What is happening to our College when so many students are concerned and yet there is no official word or stand on the College's behalf? This editorial does not condone the a Why not consider some these questions and proposals: A /JteJJ119e t As I leave the Presidency of the College, I want to express my appreciation for the privilege of joining you in our common effort to develop a College that is committed to the best in education and in public service. During my 34 years at Wilkes, successive generations of students have given me encouragement and :inspiration and without this encouragement, many efforts .to build a s.tronger .College would never . have been undertaken. As I say good-bye to those of you who are a part of Wilkes, I find myself hoping that you will discover, in the years ahead, that your years at Wilkes have enlarged your vision, deepened your rinsights, and increased your capabilities to work constructively with others for the betterment of our battered world. In the years ahead, I will miss the stimulation that you and other students have given me during the past third of a century. I must admit, however, that I look forward ·to a measure .of freedom Jhat was never possible during my years at Wilkes. · -The A the Diplc rson mo E cool" in ill Kaye. -The C ward, to t ost pois e eld- Sani st, most ampus- ] -The T the pei oking fm apers for 1 ne-Jay -The~ that pers elcome, · ociability 1 ersonal v eer the p rved trop -The Af to that per DR.

Dickinson also lost to Franklin and Marshall, by a 14-1 margin. The Colonels played F&M even up the first three minutes of the ball game but then the precision passing and fine stickwork of the home team literally picked the Colonels' defense. apart and dominated play the rest of the way. Colonel a-ttackman Dave Bogusko scored the first goal for the Wilkesmen after F&M had jumped out to a 2-0 lead after three minutes of play. But then F&M went to work as they bombarded the Colonels with six goals in each period. Colonel goalie Dave Rich hacl. a busy day as Marshall fired over 80 shots. Rich, however, saved 32. The key to the game was experience, as each member of F&M's starting team had played lacrosse for at least nine years. "Our inexperience showed today," admitted Colonel coach Jon Habrock, but it was quite obvious . F&M's accurate passing constantly picked the •Coloriel defense apart. If there was a man open on F&M, he -would always get the pass to take the free shot. F&M's 11 assists bear this out. Their stick handling and execution combined the whole game to give F&M possession of the ball. It seemed F&M always had a man in the right position at the right time to scoop up any ground balls. And if they couldn' t scoop it up, they managed to flip the ball or kick it to a teammate who could.

Besrdes thinking how we were outplayed, I was thinking about a topic for my last column of the year. Sitting at the concert ·a t the Kingston Armory la·s t Saturday night, a few ideas crossed my mind. A summary of the sports year, highlighting each season would 'be •appropriate, but every-one knows it was a good year for athletics at Wilkes in 19691970. The Gold Machine brought home a fifth Middle Atlantic Conference Championship, even though they lost two games and had their win streak stopped at 32 games. The soccer team booted its way ·to a respectable season. Since it played freshmen, new coach Tom Rokita should have a nucleus with which to work next year.

Their loss will be felt by the entire wrestling program, not only because of th eir skill but also 'for their "intangibles." The swimmers had ,a nother dismal season, at least on paper. I walked away from their swimming meets feeling that th ese guys [the swim team) really tried hard and were dete rmined t o win. When y ou have that feeling, things c.a n't be that bad. Moving along into the spring sports, the baseball team, under th e first-year co-aching of Gene Domzalski, is winning more than it's losing but with a tighter defense ·the diamondmen might have had a few more wins. At the moment, however, they're fighting for first place in the MAC. If the pitching and defense holds up, they might make it. Lacrosse is experiencing some growing pains this year, particularly after Franklin and Marshall. The crossmen have to win their two remaining games to get over the .500 mark. But they are gaining valuable experience for the ·f uture. Doubles teams are hurting the tenn'is squad this year. With Doug Valenteen and Bill Tarbet leading the way, they're playing .5 00 ball. Rollie Schmidt appears to have transferred some football w ins to the golf course as his duffers have won six straight after losing their initial match. You can't do much better than that. On the girls' side, Mrs. Saricino had some spirited girls to work with in field hockey ,and basketball and pulled off some wins. Next year should be the year for girls' sports, though. But looking over the entire sports scene, not only here at W'ilkes but nationally, one can see a new trend in intercollegiate sports. The athletes are taking on a new dimension, one which enta'ils mure than short hair and the typical "jock" image, a dimension w hich has more to do with just winning and losing. That dimension is involvement. Many black athletes are using sports as a platform from which to shout their grievances and air their complaints. White athletes, tuo, speak out. Some teams dedded, 'for example, to refuse to participate in any intercollegiate athletic contest with Brigham Young, a school whose Mormon doctrine condones l'acism. And even at the Wilkes campus, you can see athletes involved. I'm not saying that athletes were never involved in other activities, nor am I separating the athletes into a separate category of the •s tudent body versus the athletes. I'm simply observing that there is a trend today in which athletics is taking on a new dimension. Time will tell if-it is good or had because this new dimension is 'b ringing athletics closer to life. A popular cliche is one that says scomething like, "Every game is life, and life is a game." But it's not so. An athletic game has definite rules and ·r egulations which permit a player to know exactly what he can or cannot do. Life has no such rules. A game is timed- you stop after 60 minutes or nine innings or whatever, regardless if you're. just about to score or if you want to quit and go home early. 'Life has no such time limit - you can cop out and quit if you like or go into overtime H you care to. There aren't any referees, either. Games aren't life, and they shouldn't be. May'be that's precisely why we need athletic games •because in a game you know if you've won or lost. So in a period of student •i nvolvement, I wonder about the -role of athletics and its purpose on colleges throughout the country. 'Certainly there are many superficial things involved with athletics, but there is a ·great deal more on the plus side. 5% Over Costs TO WILKES COLLEGE STUDENTS Thanks VAN SCOY The Diamond King For All The Patronage and Goodwill.

The Wilkes hosts, with approximately 15 Hampton students, set off Thursday night to prove that brotherhood and understanding do exist among young people. The activities, altered somewhat by the weather, began with an informal party that served not only as an introductory necessi:ty, but also as a refresher for the Virginia students after their 10-hour drive. A bit of knowledge was added Friday as the students toured the Stegmaier Brewery, and knowledge on the subject of dances was exchanged as the Hampton group took over the dance floor at a party at the Brother's Four. One of the high spots of the weekend was the Saturday picnic at Dr. Farley's Farm. Despite the muddy field, a wacky softball game took place, followed by an even muddier game of volleyball. But the sun was out and the kite expressed everyone's mood by gliding along, enjoying itself. (Continued on Page 8) Finances For Off- Campus Living Wilkes Alumni Topic Of Committee's Discussions Meet Tomorrow One of the ramifications of the recent change in College policy which permits eligible students to secure off-campus living accomFor Seminars The annual Wilkes College Alumni seminar has been scheduled for tomorrow, according 'to Sam Davenport, director of alumni affairs. Richard Myers, who was recently appointed terminal manager of Mar tz Trailways, Inc., will serve as chairman. The seminar, established in 1962, during th e last few years has attracted alumni from the eastern seaboard to renew college friendships and to pursue and discuss topics of national and college interest. Theme of the 1970 conference is "National Values and Goals" anq will be introduced as the keynote address by Tom Bigler. Registration at the Cerrter for the Performing Arts is timed for 8:30 a.m. with the opening sesion set for 9:30, after which discussion groups will assemble in Kirby Hall until noon. Related topics to the main theme include: "The American Economy," conducted by Welton Farrar, Wilkes faculty; Tom Kelly '69 and James Neveras '55; "Ethnic and Raical Unity," Ray O'Connor; "Higher Education," Mahmoud Fahmy, James Ferris '56, and George Siles '57; "Environmental Science," Alvan Bruch, Charles Reif, Ralph Rozelle '54, and Jack Blannett '70; "Urban Affairs," Walter Niehoff. Dr. Eugene S. Farley, retiring president of the college, will be principal speaker at the luncheon. He will be introduced by Thomas J. Moran '49, alumni president. Afternoon discussions will continue those of the morning sessions and will conclude at 4 p.m. with a wrap-up assembly in the Center for the Performing Arts with Richard Myers as chairman. A social hour has been planned for 5:30 p.m. at the American Legion Home, North River Street. Dinner follows at 6:30 p.m., chaired by the alumni president, T•o m Moran. modations was the topic of discussion last week - that of financial aid for those students who choose to live off-campus. The question was initially raised in a Dean's Council meeting on Monday, April 20, which then referred the problem to the Committee of Financial Aid. This committee is responsible for recommending to the Administrative Council changes in the financial aid policy of the College as circumstances and conditions may warrant. Richard Raspen On Thursday, April 23, the Financial Aid Committee, comprised of faculty, students , and members of the Administration, met to discuss the question and formulate recommendations •a nd observations to the Administrative Council. Discussion centered around the following points : 1. Students who choose to reside off-campus will do so at their own initiative, because adequate space is available in dormitories. 2. The College would be placed in an unwise financial position of providing money to these students while at the same time facing the burden of repayment of federal construction grants and maintenance costs. 3. In the past, the College has used only those expenses payable directly to the College in formulating financial •a id budgets. These fees include: tuition, fees, book allowance, and comprehensive room and board costs. 4. Commuting expens~s such as food allowance, housing, transportation costs, etc., are not · included in the budget of day students requesting financial aid. To include them in a budget for off-campus students would be unfair to day students. At 'the -same time, to include them for both categories of students would place an unbearable financial burden on the College. 5. There is no clear-cut policy followed by colleges in dealing with this kind of problem. It was found, however, that if a college does have adequate space, an off-campus student is not subsidized, and if the college does not have adequate facilities the student will be helped. Richard Raspen, Financial Aid Officer and member of both Student 'Life and the Financial Aid Committee, presented this problem to the Student Life Committee Friday, April 24. The Committee decided to hold a joint meeting between members of this committee and the Financial Aid Committee on Monday afternoon. At Monday's meeting considerable discussion arose concerning the plight of the s'tudent who is try(Continued on Page 3) Spring Weekend Begins Tonight Ball, Opera, Concerts, Set >f T h e R hinocer os Spring Weekend 1970 begins tonight with · the annual Cinderella Ball.

It seems that students wishing to secure off-campus living may risk financial aid previously provided. As pointed out in the financial aid article, considerable discussion arose last week for both the pro and con aspects of giving these students aid. Many things must be considered, such as fairness to both day and dorm students, the students who planned to save money by moving offcampus, and where extra money might have to come from . While considering the above factors, it is equally important to view the following factors: First of all, the premise under which the proposal was passed. Granted the students wanted it but at the same time the proposal was a means to alleviate some of the overcrowded housing conditions that prevail, as well as giving students the opportunity to take on the responsibilities of adulthood. One must not forget that 40 male students live in the YMCA or that four dormitories are going to be torn down next year to make room for the new building. Or, that the college maintains that this should be an environment that fosters responsi bilities. At the same time, one should remember one of the primary reasons for vetoing the proposed calendar change for next year. It was felt that a considerable number of students would be handicapped by lack of employment by ending the summer vacation before Labor Day weekend and virtually ·eliminating Christmas jobs . This same insight should be taken into consideration with students applying for off-campus living. Many of these people stand to save money by moving off-campus by reducing loans. The College could also save money by reducing funds they previously administered to these dormitory residents because their costs will be less. The Beacon stands behind the Student Life recommendation to investigate the possibilities of a third category of students - off-campus residents. Since the College maintains it advocates change, fair consideration, and student concern, this seems to be an apparent remedy for the problem. One policy has been changed - why not change another? ' A WEEKEND FOR FUN In case you haven't noticed - it's Spring. We've seen it evidenced in the co uples relaxing along the dike, the colorful kites prominent in the sky, the general lack of interest in classes and schoolwork, and in the grass that is suddenly "greener than green." Barring unscheduled rainstorms-this is Spring Weekend and Cherry Blossom Time. It is a weekend designed to quiet the common complaints of "there's nothing to do." This weekend there is plenty to do if you only go outside and look for it. There are dances and balls, Cinderella and Cherry Blossom Queens. There are rock concerts and polka concerts, and they are all free (at least to Wilkes students!). Open house is a way of life this weekend, the perfect time to visit the places you've never been to. There are exhibits for artists, music for musicians, plays for theater-goers, and outings for people who just want to have a good time. There's no excuse for being bored during these three days. You can meet most of Wilkes-Barre on the River Commons-and have your own love-in, be-in, sing-in, sleepin, eat-in or what-have-you. It's a time for fun and goodwill, a time to "do your own thing." Forget your final exams and the 10 term papers due next Monday long enough to enjoy, enjoy ... And one warning: lest the eco -activists become enraged-don't contribute to pol lution by throwing your straw skimmers on the grass or stripping the trees of their cherry blossoms! MESSAGE TO WILKES C:OLLEliE I would like to extend my thanks to The Beacon staff for their very kind words last week. As the Wilkes College newspaper, it is appropriate that I communicate through its pages my response to the many messages from students and faculty. It is extremely difficult to express my feelings to all who have been so generous in their congratulations and words of support. There have been many such messages, letters, calls, and telegrams, but none carry the significance of those from the faculty and students. Few, outside of higher edycation, can appreciate the relationships that exist in the academic community. We are working in an environment in which mutual trust, personal responsibility, and understanding of differences are key ingredients of our enterprise. It is an awareness of our common search for knowledge, questioning, ·seeking ways to resolve problems that bring us all together in a viable academic community. To begin my service as President with the support and understanding of the students and faculty is a tremendous asset. I am grateful to you all, and I will try my best to justify your confidence in me. Again, my sincere personal thanks to you all. I look forward to working with you to make Wilkes College ever better to serve. -Dr. Francis J. Mlchelini Stull will, as Letters to the Editors help in tutoring disadvantaged students.

The play involves the Antrobus family and its attempt to survive the environment and the hostile human race. Wilder uses hyperbole very effectively by employing iceage glaciers as the phenomenons of nature and besieging the Antrobus home with an assortment of panhandlers when the cold outside becomes too intense. Bob Hegyes headed the Antrobus household with Debbie Dunleavy as his wife, Elliot Stahler and Sandy Yue-as playing the two children, and Rita Singer as the maid who demonstrated her inability to live life by continuously interrupting the play at her whim. All the players performed well, especially Stahler whose transition from a -small boy to a war-worn son was excellent. Art Review The Gallery of Conyngham Annex is .host this week to a show presenting the fine talents of two artists - Richard Sebastian and Rustell Jorgensen. Mr. Jorgens en's work in the area of metal work and jewelry has to 'b e some of the best shown by a student at Wilkes in a long time. His control and craftsmanship is excellent - each piece of jewelry is really worthy of being displayed. The same quality holds for the ceramics of these artists the glazing techniques were finely done. The paintings by Mr. Sebastian show a very interesting style done with much experimentation and excellent choice of c-olor. The sculpture might go unnoticed but that is the viewer's misfortune. The media was not as w ell handled and did not really reach the same level of the uther works. The satire of "the Christ on the Cross" was a bit much but he was hung well. However, the show is truly fine and the artists exceptionally creative in direction, interpre tation, and fulfillment of their works. Now f.t ni e Lustig v1ary i<azchny. Some years ago, in one of America's more profound breaths, it became apparent that murder and genocide were not very nice, and therefore definitely un-American. When used to question the morality of the Vietnam war, these statements were · immediately reclassified as senseless emotional ravings which were totally inept at a time when we needed intelligent and rational thinking to help end a war we had been drawn into by circumstances beyond our control.

The air you are breathing is not clean, fresh air - it is a com• bination of iron' sulfide and a substance called " suspended particulates." The significance of this com• bination is that when they reach a combined percentage of pollution in the air they will cause health problems to children, seventh grade and younger, who breathe the air. Earth Day activities at the Kingston Armory brought this fact, plus many others, to th e public's attention. Pollution has been a problem of mankind since man became a farmer instead of a hunter.

Sophomore Ted Yeager broke the school record ·for most stolen bases in a season. Yeager stole three against Kutztown, which brought his total to 13. The Colonels had 12 hits against Harpur and seven stolen base,s but left 12 runners stranded on base. Carl Cook, Tom Higgins, Dave Kaschak, and Don Lewis paced the club with two hits apiece. With the Colonels leading 3-2 nn the eighth, Joe Zakowski came in to relieve John Baranowski. But a two-run homer in that inning gave th e game to Harpur and ended Zak's personal win streak at 15 games. The Colonels had another comefrom-behind win on their hands against Kutzt9wn as they were on th e short end of a 4-2 score going int o the top of the seventh. But the Wilkesmen erupted for five runs in the last three innings to gain the victory, their sixth of the year. Ted Sokolowski started the game for Wilkes but needed help from Baranowski in the eighth and ninth innings. Mike Bergbauer banged out three hits to pace the attack while Higgins, Yeager, and Kaschak each had two hits. But it was no ordinary game for either team. Tempers flared in the fourth inning as Wilkesman Charlie Wetzel was tagged out at first base rather physically and was knocked down. Things got heated in the next inning as Yeager, trying to beat out a gro und er, accidentally stepped on the K-Town first baseman's foot, who responded by throwing the ball at Ted. Both benches then cleared as a melee took place on the field. When order had been restored, both teams found themselves without umpires, who had left. Students from Kutztown assumed their roles as the game was completed. Yeager's 1.4 stolen bases per game average is one of the top marks in the country. After seven games Carl Cook was ranked sixth in the nation with a .522 batting average. The national leader is Bill Broach of R egis College with a .587 average.

It was the fourth straight time the Wilkesmen defeated Kutztown in two seasons. The Colonels have their work cut out for them tomorrow afternoon, however, as they oppose Franklin & Marshall for the first time in either school's history. F&M features a well coordinated and experienced squad. The fact that lacrosse is the main sport at Marshall plus · the game will be played on their home field will not make the job of coach Jon Hobrock's squad much easier. A well balanced scoring attack and a tremendously effective defense paved th e way for Wilkes' second win of the season. Dave Bogusko led the scoring with three Colonel midfielders Ken M i ller (27) and Mike Kennedy (32) work the "give-and-go" in recent action against Stevens. Colonels lost but came back goals .

Cross-Country Here in '70? Meeting Tues. Cross-country at Wilkes? It looks that way since De·a n Jo el Rome has announced a meeting for all those students interested in running cross-country for the school, starting next fall. The meeting will be held May 5 at 11 a.m. in Room 14 of the History and Philosophy Building (the old Mineworkers Building directly across from Weckesser). High school experience is not necessary. The number of students who attend this m eeting will determine whether cross-country will become an intercollegiate sport at Wilkes. Gore played excellent defen~e as they continually broke up any of• fensive movement Kutztown could provide. Midway through the fourth quar· ter Habrock displayed his bench for the first time this year as the en'tire ·squad saw action. The Colonels took command of the game early in the first period as Miller, Bogusko, and Selecky scored a£ter 10 minutes of play. Bogusko and Miller scored again in the second period and Kennedy threw in a goal to give the Wilkes· men a 6-0 lead at halftime. At halftime, Habrock cautioned the team to keep the presure on and keep hitting. Neither he nor the team could forget the 4-0 lead they assumed at halftime in the first game against Kutztown which sud· denly became a 4-2 ballgame. But the Wilkesmen did not let history repeat itself as Raviv, Se· lecky, Bogusko, and Gregory all scored in the final period. K-Town did not succumb completely, how• ever, as they scored once in the third and fourth quarters. For the first time this year, penal• ties did not hinder the squad. It incurred 12, 19, 16 penalties in the first four games but kept it down to eighlt Saturday. The midlields of Kennedy, Miller, and Mike Palko and Rich Ferranti, Hank Walters, Pete Herbst, and Clyde Fitch did a fine job cont,aining the K-Town mid·f ielders, who scored three goals in the first encounter. With the season hall over, the scoring leaders are: Goals D.Bogusko M. Kennedy 0 . Raviv K. Miller T. Selecky M. Palko R. Ferranti C. Fitch R.

Attorney Lo uis Shaffer, chairman of the board, made the announcement and disclosed that the board has invited Dr. Farley to consider remaining at Wilkes a:s chancellor. The announcement ended a search for a new president which began after Dr. Farley announced his Jiorthcoming retirement in February, 1969. Since then, the Presidential Search ·committee has considered 63 candidates, finally narrowing them down to five candidates who were in terviewed on Campus, or visited by members of the Committee . Despite numerous conjectures, "those in the know" on the academic scene did not express surprise at the choice. Michelini, or "Dr. Mike" as he is known to both students and faculty, was said to have had the popular support on ·campus for •t he position. 'Michelini, 44, was born in Clifton, N.J., the son of Mr. and Mrs. August Michelini. He was graduated from 'Seton Hall University with a •B achelor of Science degree in chemistry. He earned his MA degree in biological science at the University of Delaware in 1950, and his PhD in 1955 from the University of Pennsylvania. 'I n the same year he joined th e Wilkes faculty as an assistant professor in biology. Dr. Michelini was granted a leave of absence in 1962 for one year, to serve the National 'Science Foundation, Washington, D.C., as associate program director of the Institu te Section. Upon his return to Wilkes he was named dean ·of academic affairs. He has continued to teach at least one biology class, despite his pressing administrative duties, and has published papers extensively in developmental biology. A veteran of World War II, Michelini earned the Combat Service Star during the Rhine 'Campaign in the European Theater. He served with the U.S. Army Air Force from 1944-1946. Since joining the Wilkes faculty, the newly-elected president has worked closely with Dr. Farley, who came to the college in 1936 when its facilities were one rented ,building and little more than 100 students. 'Dr. Mike will assume leadership of a school that now boasts almost 2,500 students with an equal number of part-time •and evening students, bringing the overall enrollment to almost 5,000. There are now 54 buildings comprising the campus, the newest dedicated only two weeks ago. A "forward thrust" campaign is now underway to raise funds to build a $3-million educational building. With an operating budget of more than $5-million, Wilkes' tangible assets are more than $20 million. Capital improvement amounted to almost $7-million from 1963-69. Approximately 7,000 Wilkes alumni are ·s pre·ad from coast to coast and in some foreign countries. This then is the picture as 'Dr. Michelini assumes his position as of July 1. Michelini says, "Students are more aware and more sensitive to broader social problems today than we were when we went t·o college. As a matter of fact, students of today are much more involved than they were five years ago." He goes on to say, "We h'a ve some great material at Wilkes. The students want to be part of the educational system and I certainly am in favor of that." 'Dr. Michelini is also active in community •affairs. He has been chairman •of the Wilkes-Barre Model ICities Policy Board, director of Nesbitt Memorial Hospital, 'F amily ·service Association, Welfare Planning Council, having served as president of the last two organizations; Wyoming Valley United Fund, Greater Delaware Valley Regional Medical Program, and the Northeastern Pennsylvania Heart Association. He served on the Governor's 'Committee on Vocational Rehabilitation, and was a member of the Charter Study Commis·sion of WilkesBarre. He is listed in Who 's Who in America and is a member of American Men of Science and the Society of Sigma Xi; also the Kiwanis Club Wilkes-Barre, Westmoreland Club, and Torch Club. Dr. Michelini is married to the former Anne Marie Sterner of Lansford. With their three daughters, Michelle, Lisa, and Lucia, the Michelinis reside at 148 Dana St., Wilkes-Barre. During '70 Summer ' The Canned Heat This year Wilkes College has slated its Spring Weekend for May 1 and 2. The Cinderella Ball will begin the big weekend on Friday at 8:30 p.m. The Treadway Motor Inn will acommodate the affair and guests are reminded that formal ·attire is re quired. Men may rent tuxedos for a reduced rate with I.D. cards for $10 at John B. Stetz's on East Market St., off Pu'b lic Square. Music for dancing will be provid!"d by Gene Dempsey and orchestra. There will be ·open-bar and hors-d'oeuvres will b e served along with a sit-down dinner of prime ribs of beef. To highlight the evening, the queen and the first runn er-up will be named at midnight. Tickets will be collected at the door and may be purchased at the Bookstore at $10 per couple. 'Departing from the ordinary, beach towels will be handed out as favors for the Weekend. Saturday, May 2, Spring Weekend will draw to a close with a concert in the Kingston Armory. Beginning at 8:30 p.m., Wilkes (Continued on Page 8) The Beacon would like to announce the forthcoming publication of the new summer Beacon. The paper will come out every two weeks and will be a four-page issue. Subscriptions will be available at $1.00. ' 'T he editorial staff of The Beacon feels the summer communication gap between students, faculty, and Administration could be remedied with publication . The college also provides many summer activities such as : theatre workshop, SG meetings, classes, and building proj e cts that individuals should be aware of.

But as Dr. Francis J. Michelini's selection was announced by the chairman of the board of trustees last Friday, we all discovered that the "good guys" sometimes ·win, and no more deservedly so than the new president-elect of Wilkes College. Out of 63 candidates originally suggested by the Presidential Selection Committee, the choices were narrowed down to 21 and then five. "Dr. Mike" rose above them all - and the Committee who approved the suggestion unanimously, and the Board who did the same, could savor the spontaneous and sincere response. Our reaction is one of enthusiasm for a good choice and of high hopes that Dr. Michelini will tackle the enormous job at This week, dorm and day students showed their interest in the community and the world population by observing Earth Week. They channelled their efforts into educating the people so the world would be saved. Blood Day can be seen in the same perspective. Every individual has the opportunity to give a little of himself for the community, friends, and relatives. If the world as a whole is worth saving so are individuals! There seems to be a lack of logical forethought in the Activities Fee that was recently passed by the Administrative Council for the 1970-71 academic year. The Administration has pledged to give SG $26,000; in the meantime, students will be paying a $20 activities fee. The total will be $76,000. There appear to be discrepancies in the logic of this funding, however. First of all, last year the students paid a $10 activity fee, and the college contributed $13.60 from the general College fund, College income, for each student. Next year, the students will pay a $20 activity fee, yet, a $25 activity fee was passed by the students, and the College will contribute approximately $10 per student from the Col lege income and our tuition has gone up $100 per semester. Granted, there have been increases in certain categories such as Homecoming seen« Eugen he hand with understanding and strength. We are certain that Dr. Michelini understands the heartbeat of this Campus and that he will follow the ideals upon which it was built. At the same time we hope he will not imitate what has been, but rather create. This is the period of our greatest growth - physically (with the plans for new and bigger buildings), academically (with programs in new fields and enlargement of existing fields being planned), and in the intangible areas of communication and understanding. We believe that Dr. Mike will capably handle the physical and academic areas of the College. We hope that he will make further progress in the area of studentadministration cooperation. The torch has been passed - and in this dynamic young man , we find our hope for the future! RESPONSIBILITIES Within the next few weeks, students will again be able to assume new responsibilities. The first being Blood Day and the second is Representation on Faculty Committees. Chfw:e,\\o., f,•k'j cnp.ric,,\\01::C?) rAR,~'i ! Last fall when students were urged to apply for Faculty Committees only two per cent of the student body had enough initiative to follow through. When we had the controversy over dormitory visitation, the fact that students were on faculty committees was to our advantage. Students want to be heard, they have good ideas that should be heard, yet why do they sit back? It goes along the principle that many of you are here because Wilkes College can offer what you want, and at the same time you want things improved. If you care, want to see change, are not satisfied, then gather up some of the initiative that got you here in the first place and apply for a Faculty Committee. and Spring Weekends, but at the same time, worthwhile funding has been cut back. Clubs and classes are prime examples. Clubs will receive between $2,000 and $1,000 (previously $4,000) and classes will receive $1,000 (previously $1,500). These organizations have projects that are beneficial to both the College and the community. SG will also be expected to support all student publications out of the $76,000. The College has placed the entire re sponsi bi Iity of student funds with SG, yet areas have been cut back - and SG will look inadequate. It appears that the social life of a growing College is going to be hampered, likewise, all the efforts that have gone into expanded lectures, concerts, films, and community projects are going to be affected . Guest Editorial: BUT WHY? On Monday, April 13, the same number in a series of s cessful Apollo space flights suddenly developed trouble. As · previous space flights, three men were able to momentari unite three billion people who were 250,000 miles away. No one could ever disavow the credit that these courag men deserve. It is hard to actually put into words the feeling a one had for them. All of a sudden, their lives were the focal poirC of world attention and concern. Thirteen countries offered make their ships available for the recovery. At least six nati said they would allow U.S. planes to fly over their territoryduri recovery operations. More than 70 responded to a U.S. request not to broadcast on the radio frequencies used by the recover, forces. In all of the splendor and glory of space flights, whether the, may be during good or troubled times, the world community bt comes one. All political barriers and national borders disappear and we are truly friends indeed. BUT WHY? Why did the Soviet Union offer so much assistance to us? Why did three nations, in the midst of political differences with the U.S., suddenly tum to us with help? Of even greater importance, why did three en, dangered lives create so much universal concern and attention? Why can't the same universal concern and attention be turned towards the hundreds of Americans and Vietnamese who die every week in Southeast Asia? Why not towards the Sino-Soviet conflict involving hundreds of millions of people? How about the Middle East conflict? How about the number of bodies recently seen floating down Cambodian rivers? How about the starving people in India and Latin America; the population problem and the pollution problem? Why does the world community sit back, and by not doing anything, justify death and outright misery in the above cases? It only took three men, who are not just Americans, but "Earth· lings," to prove it can be done! Three billion people have proven to themselves that there exists a world community capable of uniting towards a common goal: the safe return of the Apollo XIII astronauts. Why not direct this once-impossible dream towards the perfection of a world community- a community called "Earth." ... - Ronnie Lustig THE BEACON Editors-in-Chief. ..... .

There is no doubt that the last few years have changed the objective relationship of students to th eir college, and have altered their inn er feelings about the exp erie nce of education. They are requestin g, and even demanding, that they b e given a larger share of r esponsibility in the government of the institution which they attend. The complain t that education is "irrelevan t" means that education rs not se rvin g as an instrument by which a society can control its future . It is not giving students what they need to make their lives t he kind of lives they wish, and to make their society the kind of soci ety they want. I will define as axiom a tic certain perceptions I have of our students. They have rights as citizens of the larger society; rights th ey do not lose when they become members of a higher educational insti tutional. They h ave the righ t to live their own lives when off campus, subject onl y to the laws an d the risks of the larger society.

NOTICE Viewpoint by Joseph Kanner Psychology Department . .. Pe te Herb, ! Greets '-Mike' With Sincere Ovation by Roy Hollabaugh We have recently been faced with certain increases in College costs for the 1970-71 school term. These incre as es a re an increas e of $200 in tuition, a $10 incr eas e in room and board fees , and the Administrative Council rec ently passed an increas e in th e Ac tivities Fee of $10 (making th e act ivities fee $20 instead of $10) . These increases may b e justifiable fro m the Administration's point of view, bu t as a student I feel these increases sho uld b e acco mp anied by mor e efficient rules an d regulations , a halfd ecent mea l plan, and more student voice in distributing the students ' mon ey.

Compare this cost to th e cost of procuring keys (at approximately 50¢ a ke y) for each woman old enough to break curfew.

Colleges and universities, not immune to the effects of this situation, have reflected it in increased tuition and board rates. Consequently, many college students have found it necessary to seek part-time employment in order to defray the cost of their living and education expenses. At Wilkes, 70% of the student body holds part-time, off-campus jobs. They foclude clerking in stores, waitressing in restaurants, working at gas stations and many other tasks. Some of the jobs constitute only Summer employment. Others continue during and throughout the school year. Certain students manage to pay their entire •tuition costs by using the money they have earned from nffcampus work. In addition, 400 Wilkes students participate in a work-study program which is jointly funded by the College and . the U.S. government. These students work in school offices, the library, on the maintenance staff, and within the dorms. They annually earn $110,000. Each department of the College sets aside $50-55 ,000 a year to pay students who do office and research work for the individuals within the department. Students who work for the school are limite d to 15 work hours per week. National studies seem to indicate that this is the maximum time a student can spend working and still not interfere with his school work. Working students seem to derive more than simply monetary benefits from their jobs. One girl who spent the summer as a nurse 's aid at a nursing home for aged people says, "It was wonderful to feel that I could help people and was needed . I think it made me develop a sense of responsibility, and it definitely taught me to be more patient than I ever thought I could be." . Another student spent the summer working in a confectionery factory . . "I inspected, packed and sealed up the products. And I hated the work; but it taught me the value of an education. I met people there who wanted to go to college, and couldn't. I realized how lucky I am that I won't be doing that kind of work for the rest of my life." One girl, who works for a department head to earn spending money, views her j-ob as a steppings·tone. "I type, run machines and do general office work. It's giving me the experience I'll need to get a good job this summer." Hughes and Stahler Premiere, Worth As Playwrights Proven tI In a bright step forward, the Wilkes Theater has begun to present a series of student-written and directed plays. The first two presentations have proven the merit of this undertaking. On a recent Saturday evening, Reflections, a one-act play by senior Eng~ish major Dale Hughes, was presented to the public. Thursday, April 16, at 11 a.m. The One About the Rubber Hose by Elliot Stahler, a junior, premiered. Both were well-done in their own style. Reflections was a surrealistic view of life as Hughes sees it. His thoughts on such subjects as "ice cream love" [that which is frozen) made the evening worthwhile. The dream-like set, bathed in many colors, contributed to the unreal atmosphere of a guy and a girl trapped in a hall of mirrors. This viewer found objections in the casting. They did not build the tone in the horrifying way Hughes wrote it. The blocking (stage movemovement) was wooden and uninspired. We cannot find an excuse for this drawb_ack, as most of the cast was experienced on the CPA stage. The cast mcluded Bob Sampson, Brandy 1B ranigan, Jim Rader, Jerry McAfee, Sandy Yucas, Ted Moss. The second play was a complete departure from the first, and suffered mainly from a lack of publicity and a bad time slot. It is a sorry state~ent, but true, that _most students prefer to eat lunch Thursday ~ornmgs at 11. B~t those m attendance found Elliot Stahler's play amus11:ig most of the time, and downright funny many times. The plot was simple - an overanxious father worried about his 15-year-old daughter's upcoming date with a college student. Stahler managed to make it funny and ironic, and the cast s eemed to enjoy what it was doing. A word should be said for the two principles, Mike Gallagher and Bob Burkhardt - wonderful. They played off each •o ther well - the kind of give and t>ake that marks more-seasoned performers. The rest of the cast included Nancy Haldeman, Rita Singer, and Steve Gliboff. We are pleased to see recognition of students' talents in all areas of theater, and hope that more budding playwrights come forward. 103 Courses To Be Given This Summer This summer the Wilkes College summer school schedule will offer more than a hundred courses .

LEWIS - DUNCAN Two Off Campus Bookstores ••. IDC MEETING: Topics on the agenda included: orphan fund, Hampton weekend, no curfews, dormitory visitation, cafeteria plan, and the in-group learning program. Concerning Hampton weekend, it was announced that this weekend the Hampton students will be visiting our campus, and that May 6 Wilkes students will travel to Hampton. Chuck Lengle, director of the program, announced that the following studenbs will be going to Hampton: Marlene Augustine, Ellen Stamer, Gina White, Linda Schenesney, Wilhelmina Quinn, Barbara Roman, Aphrodite Xeromeritou, Ruth Beras, Lucretia Geiger, Barbara Williams, George Conway, Tom Demovic, and George Knezek. It has been announced that the $904 in the Orphan Fund will be sent to UNICEF. Dormitory visitation is going well, and male resident students are reminded to turn in the sign-out sheets. Also, the guard who drives the girls back to the dorms is located in the office at the New Men's Dorm. It was disclosed that an intercom system may be installed to aid in 1-ocating th e guard. Girls are reminded that they must come back with the guard and not be let into the dormitory by its members. The In-Group Learning program was discussed and IDC members learned that 20 percent of the faculty and 25 percent of the students showed an interest in the plan. InGroup Learning will begin in the fall on a seminar program format including all the dorms. Students are also reminded to preregister for their fall courses. A fee of $50 will be charged for each credit and a $75 dormitory fee will prevail for each semester with LARGE SELECTION OF LOVE BEADS a $5 laundry fee. Diamonds, Watches Gifts, Jewelry HEADQUARTERS FOR COLLEGE CLOTHING • According to Richard Ra-s pen, Financial Aid Director at the College, no student who needs a job should be afraid to look for ·one. " We can always work something out. The stores in town are often looking for people, as are the offices here at the College. As a matter of faot, if two people who could type were to walk into my office right now, I could place them by tomorrow.

On Other Campuses by George Pagliaro vant education - relevant to him, not just to his contented white counterpart. The black man knows he is a whole person with a proud heritage; it's about time the white man realizes it. Maybe at MSC ... On March 17, a meeting of Shippensburg State College's Student Senate heard a motion that the Student Association be abolished. On Tuesday, March 31, the issue was defeated. Although an unsuccessful attempt [some might even say foolhardy), the reasons for it are worthy of note. Its authors claimed that the SA had become powerless and virtually ineffective. The contention seemed to indicate that the ass·ociation went very nearly unnoticed and any suggestions it made which did not agree wholly with administrative stands went unnoticed. One student senator, speaking against the motion, said that if the motion passed, an organized channel of communication between the administration and the students would be lost. Well, the motion failed, but it seems a shame th at it was ever necessary. Hopefully, the occurrence •of such a motion need only happen once before the administration realizes that maybe there is a "lack of communication." Changes on other campuses are occurring on all fronts, academic, social, and campus life. Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan, has made a dream come true for many of its students by dropping its traditional language requirement and ruling that "learning the language of the computer is as relevant as learning French, German, or Spanish." The requirement has been replaced by a new "symbolic systems" requirement which allows students to substitute computer programming, symbolic logic or philosophy of language courses for those in a second natural language. To be sure, many students who simply cannot grasp a language can breathe a sigh of relief on the campus of OU. As a result of a recent study at Millersville State College, an effort is being made to determine what the black student's status is on MSC's campus and, in many cases, to improve it. Black enrollment at MSC is well below federal stan dards but "the one-year appointment of Mr. Allen (a recent black graduate of MSC) and the visits of various black students to secondary schools for recruitment purposes have boosted the likelihood that the enrollment of black students will The following girls have been increase to 100 or more for the selected as cheerleaders for next fall." year: 'M arie Halloway, A n n PotonAn additional outgrowth of the ski, Jackie Falk, Pat Baranoski, study is that during the 1970-71 Lynn Way, Sally Fear, Anita Chowsummer sessions and the 1970-71 der, Joan Levandowski, Karen Metzcollege year a 15-month develop- ger, Randy Wells, Barbara Zembrament program will be co n ducted for zuski, and Ruth Kret. the education and counselin g ·of high-risk students.

Th e new look of the Gallery, which has been redone by the students, makes a fine showc-ase for this well-done and well-presented show. The nature ·of the work is varied, yet the quality remains on the same high level. Some of my favorite works were the assemblages done by Cray. These works combined the areas of design, craftsmanship, and presentation as well as the mixing of media. In these the artist seems to expand her vision and exP.lore. However, her acrylics are also very free and have a great deal of vitaity. Zarychta's work is very well done and her photography, though not numerous, displays another aspect of her talent. The addition of photography this year in the few exhibits, which have displayed it, has added greatly to the overall interest of the shows. To go over each medium in the show would be ridiculous; each is handled professionally and developed well. I often wonder how much th e Wilkes College student misses by not attending these shows, in a city with no museums and one of the local galleries closing. It is only stupidity that keeps a student from using the facilities that the College has to offer. I hope the ·a ttendance is not directly proporUonal 'to our ignorance. Wilkes Receives Construction Aid To Raise Complex A federal construction grant in the amount of $241,188 has been approved for Wilkes College. The grant was announced recently by the Commission on Higher Eduction Facilities in Harrisburg. Wilkes was among 13 colleges in Pennsylvania that qualified for grants totaling $4,215,386, the commission reported. Funds earmarked for Wilkes will be used toward construction of a new education complex on the site of Conyngham Hall, which was destroyed by fire in December, 1968. A campaign is underway to raise a total of $300,000 for the construction. The complex will contain classrooms, laboratories, and oth er educational facilities. a □□□□□□□□□□ □□ □o □o □o o □□□□□□ oooa □□□□□□ uu1x, □ DLlL'□□□ c □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□o□□o □□□□ o □□□ □ □□□o □□□ o□□o □ o□□□ □o □o Thomas John Moran, a 1949 graduate of Wilkes, was recently elected president of the W ilkes College Alumni Association. Moran was elected by alumni members from chapters throughout the country, according to Arthur J. Hoover, director of Alumni Relations. Moran received his BS degree in English and education from Wilkes; his master of science degree in journalism from Columbia Graduate School of Journalism, and continued graduate study in public relations at New York University. He now serves as managing editor of the Sunday Independent, following service with that newspaper as sports editor and assistant managing editor. His 20 years' experience in newspaper and related fields include his association with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette as rewrite man and feature writer; and as telegraph news editor of the Times Leader Evening New s in Wilkes-Barre. In addition, Moran has been active in the field of education for many years. In 1949-50, he was public relations director at Wilkes College and served also as alumni secretary. In 1951-53 he was a full-time member of the Department of Journalism at Duquesne University. Upon his return to this area, he taught eight years in the evening School Division at Wilkes, where he now teaches journalism and English. Mr. Moran currently serves as advisor to the Wilkes Beacon. He also taught journalism at King's College. Five and one-half years' active duty in ·the Army Air Corps and Army earned him an honorab le discharge in 1965 as captain in the Army Military Police Corps after 16 years in reserve. In March, the newsman was nominated by Governor Shafer to the select State Planning Commission, and the nomination was approved by the Legislature. Only last February he was chosen, along with 33 newsmen through out the nation for a trip to Israel to observe the military and domestic situations in that country. Following his return he spoke to various civic and club gatherings, and on radio and TV concerning his trip and observations. Th o m as J. M oran Moran is a member of Sigma Delta Chi, national journalism society, and the Wilkes-Barre Uons Club. He and his wife reside at 113 West River St., with their three children: Patricia, a senior at St. Mary's High School ; Molly, a junior at St. Mary's; and Thomas J.

The loss broke Upsala's 18-garne winning streak as both teams stand at 5-1 in the MAC. At what was supposed lo ban been the beginning of this season', golf campaign, new coach Roland C. Schmidt was looking forward t~ ard a big rebuilding effort. Now however, he and his linksmen ba,e yet to play their first match, and tt is already 21 days beyond the afternoon when they were supposed to have played their first match. Earlier in the week the Colonels lost to Eas t Stroudsburg, 5-1. The Wilkesrnen 1ed 1-0 after seven innings but costly errors and a fourrun burst in the late innings gave Stroud the win. Eventually, when the Colonel golfers do take their first official swings off the first tee, Schmidr1 shotrnakers will mos t likely be led by junior accounting major Wall Anushko. Anushko is one of the longest hitters off the tee in the MAC, and Ms presence is always felt on the golf course. Pitcher Joe Zakowski and outfielder Carl Cook paced the club against Upsala in pursuit of first place. Zak went the route for his third win of the se·a son and 15th straight. Cook raised htis batting average to .522 with a three-forfour performance at the plate. The Colonels went ahead early in the game by a first-inning triple by catcher Dave Kaschak which scored Torn Higgins. Upsala tied it in its half of the third inning on ,a triple by John Scarpelli and a squeeze bunt. The Wilkesrnen took the lead once more in the fifth inning as Torn Higgins knocked in Zakowski. But the lead was short-lived as Upsala came right back with two runs in the top of the sixth. Zak was rocked for three hits and two runs that inning but managed to get the side out the rest of the way until the Colonel batsmen could scure some more runs. Colonels Go Ahead Trailing 3-2 in the bottom of the eighth, the Wilkesrnen captured the lead for good. First baseman Charles Fick led off the inning and flied out, but Cook and shortstop Don Lewis followed with back-toback singles, with Cook advancing to third. Lewis represented the goahead run at first as Mike Bergbauer flied out for the second out of the inning. Zakowski then singled for his only hit of the afternoon, •scoring Cook and tying the game at 3-3. With runners on first and third and two outs, centerfielder Ted Yeager beat out an infield hit which scored Lewis to put the score at 4-3. Al Zeiner then followed with a triple, knocking in two insurance runs for Wilkes. It was Zelner's first collegiate hit. The.

The Colonels have lost their last two games, the most recent being a 9-7 loss to Stevens Tech last Saturday. K-town seems to be good medicine for Wilkes as Coach Jon Hobrock's charges have won all three meetings with them. Last Saturday, 16 penalties and a stubborn Stevens defense did the Colonels in. The 16 penalties mean 16 minutes Wilkes was a man down, or a little more than a quarter and Stevens worked this to their advantage as they continually scored the quick goals . With Charles Bretana and Eric Hjembo leading the attack, Stevens jumped out to a 2-0 lead as the first quarter ended. Colonel attackman Dave Bogusko put the Wilkesmen back in the game by scoring on a fee d by Odey Raviv. In the,-econd period, Bogusko scored again with 6:41 remaining in the first half but not be fore Stevens added two more goals to give them a 4-2 advantage at halftime . At halftime, coach Habrock advised the team to play a more pressuring d e fense and to shoot more and lower when on attack. The second half began with the Colonels de termined to win their first home game of the season. After 23 seconds, Raviv brought them with one by scoring from 10 feet out after the Steve ns goalie had been decked. Stevens continued their offensive, as the y would throughout the game, by a dding two more goals after 10 mlnutes of play. The biggest lead Stev ens had was two goals but eve ry time the Wilkesmen threatened, Stevens scored to stay on top . With fiv e mintues to go in the th ird quarter th e Colonels mounted a scoring at tack to tie the score at 6-6 b y s coring three goals in one minute . First Mike Kennedy conve rted a los e ball into a goal from 20 feet ou t at 10:29. Eighteen seconds la te r Bogusko had his third goa l of the af te rnoon and the Colonels w e re now down by just one. Colonel middi e Mike Palk,o took ca re of that b y scooping the ball at the far side of the field , racing across and riflin g a shot from 25 fee t w hich sent the Colonels into a tie at 11 :11 gone. But Stevens refused to panic as Steve Do yle score d to put them on top 7-6 at the end of the third quarter.

Upsala Wilkes The Wilkesmen, down by one, had a whole quarter remaining to go ahead, but penalties constantly left them a man down and broke up their offensive patterns. In the meantime, Bill Douglas scored for K-town at 2 :15 to give Stevens a two-goal margin. For the next eight minutes both teams played tight defenses with Stevens controlling the ball most ,of the time. But with 10:40 gone, Raviv scored off a feed from Bogusko to put the Colonels right back in the game. Fifteen seconds later Stevens scored their final goal of the game to put the score at 9-7. With four minutes remaining in the game, the Colonels tried desperately to get possession to score but Stevens' experence and accurate passing prevented the Wilkesmen from any mor e scoring. The final score read 9-7, Stevens, but the measure of the game, in Wilkes' point of view, was read in the penalty box as was the case against Muhlenburg last week. Tomorrow, however, the Colonels will be out to break their two-game losing streak. Kutztown couldn't be a better school to do it against.

Coach Habrock commented, "We are not the same team as we were in our first game . We 're passing and shooting better and playing more like a team." Bogusko paces the team in scoring with six points: 5 goals and 1 assist, followed by Kennedy and Raviv, each with four points. Ken nedy has three goals , one assist, while Raviv has two each.

Th ey take on K utz t ow n tomorrow at 2 p.m. NOTICE by Pete Herbst, Sports Editor It seems as if the Middle Atlantic Conference is getting sensible about a ru le wh ich doesn't make too much sense in the first place. Remember the big stir earlier this year about the soccer team using freshmen and thus forfeiting all its conference games? Based on a preliminary vote, there is the strong possibility that the rule which prohibits a school from playing freshmen ·o n a varsity level because of 1 ,100 male enrollment in the school will be rescinded. This move would be of great advantage to schools like Wilkes and especially to minor sports. Not only that, the move will provide some consistency in the three athletics conferences Wilkes is a member of - the MAC, the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) and the Nationa l Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA plus Walter Byers) . Currently the ECAC allows schools with a male enrollment of less than 1,200 to play freshmen wh ile in the NCAA the minimum enrollment is 1,400. And that only applies to football and basketball. \ Going down the list of sports played here \-\ ·. at Wilkes, it is apparent the MAC ruling "'-- .: now on the books served no purpose except "'· ' ,;: · \ to mess up many plans and opportunities for coach es and fr es hm an athle tes alike. The soccer team, of course, forfeited all conference gam es to give the frosh some experience. Had it won all its confe rence match es it would have had to forfeit the championship also. 'Roland Schmidt's Gold Machine t•ook the ruling in stride but it didn't really expect it. Coach Schmidt commented, "We really w e ren ' t ready for it. When prospective freshmen visit the school w e te ll th em one of the advantages of attending a small school lik e Wilkes is that they'll be able to play right away. But I think some of the minor spo r ts were hurt worse than we were ." The freshman gridders did play two games though and acquired th e nickname "YeHow Jackets." The basketball and wrestling teams were not hurt that much since freshmen rarely break into the starting line-ups, although it isn't uncommon. The hoopsters have had a special jayvee program to specifically develop freshman talent. Considering the fact that Herb Kemp has played since his freshman year, the rule might have hindered the Raine ymen 's success. The same basically holds true for John Reese's wrestling teams. They too have a jayvee program, primarily for freshmen althou gh not exclusively. But then again, John Marfia and Andy Matviak wrestled all four years. Conceivably the rule might have hurt them . This year's ninth-place national ranking doesn' t quite support this though. Perhaps this spring's baseball and lacrosse teams ar e takin g th e worst of the ruling. Baseball coach Gene Domzalski pointed out, "The rule hinders the freshmen's deve lopment since we hav e no coach for the freshmen full time. It's a very unfortunate situation. " As a result, the frosh usually have a game among thems elves at practice while Domzalski and Jonah Goobic direct th eir att entions to the varsity. The freshmen do, however, have six games sch eduled, th e first two being a doubleheader with Scranton University on April 30. Lacrosse coach Jon Habrock loses 14 players next year du e to gra duation. Although 10 freshmen have turned out for the squa d , th eir experience is limited to intrasquad scrimmages during the w ee k in th e absence of a freshman program. So it seems in the better interest of athletics the MAC will res cind its ruling to conform to the other, more encompassing conferences . It is certainly a change for the better, if there is a change at all. l hope by the time this paper comes out, George Conwa y has recovered from his illness incurred two weeks ago. If not, I and th e Beacon staff would like to wish him a sincere " Get well soon." I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate newl y elected Wilkes' President Dr. Francis J. Michelini. I'm certain Dr. Mike will give the school the proper and necessary leadership in th e futur e. His appointment came as a surprise to me but I think it was th e only choice . Best of luck in the future , Mr. President! Best wishes , of cours e, to Dr. Farley, who made the school what it is today. □ 0 □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ 0 □ 0 □□□0 □□□ □ □ 0□□□□ 00 00 0□ 0 □0 7:45 Congratulations to the captains for next year's athletic teams.

Must Use Resources usually playing basketball. For the best part of two years (you get a break with volleyball at the Y) you play basketball. 'I was not much of a B-Ball player in high school and I still am not ; thus, these gym classes have taught me nothing, except maybe that I will never be a B-Ball player. My point is that I think the men hired to conduct these classes could be put to better use . Organized bowling classes, swimming classes, hand-ball classes, etc. would be much more beneficial to the student and the class instructors would be serving as more useful employees. Some students requests are necessary and de sirable; s•o me may be misconceived. But what is not misconceived is to want to have something to say about the conditions under which one's community lives. This is a tendency that ed ucators and educational institutions should wish to encourage. We have at Wilkes College impressive intellectual and moral resources. We must not deplete them by not using them. We must find ways to encourage their being used. This becomes my guide to a relationship with the students. I have an obligation to make contact with the students and to recognize their state of mind and feeling. To associate their ne e ds and feelings with learning. To associate learning with information and ideas. To associate learning with conscience. And to connect the campus with what lies beyond the campus. This obligation is not an abstract one. It can be made immediate and practical if both the students and I begin by agreeing to a fundamental principle. That the ideas we discuss must meet independent standards of logic and evidence, and not be influenced merely by personal interests, political maneuvers, or pressure. I know that academic people often fail to live up to such guidelines, but it is a commitment we dare not abandon. Let's try the combination of evidence, logic, an d intellectual honesty. In today's world, it could be a refreshing experience. walk to the Men's Dorm? It seems it would not take much thought to come up with a less expensive and more efficient means of regulating this new policy. Cafeteria Complaints The next topic is the meal plan we now have, and the meal plans we were offered. It is common knowledge (among dorm residents] that the meals start out satisfactorily on Sunday and get progressively worse until Friday and Saturday night you would rather not eat than come to see what is b eing offered. Much talking has been done, but the Administrati-on and the M. W. Catering Service have not been able to find a solution, exce pt to raise the room and board fee $10 and to offer us those ludicrous proposals - Plan I and Plan II. Perhaps if the Administration ate in the caf it would not 'be so hard to see the problem and find a solution. There must be a cheaper way. We live in a free, competitive market system; if M. W . Wood Catering Service cannot prepare eatable meals and still stay in business, maybe a competitor could. It seems they have us (the residential students] over a barrel, and as time goes on, with complaint after complaint, the food gets worse instead of better. If that situation were reversed, I would not mind paying t'he increase; unfortunately it is not, and I cannot see where M. W. Wood Catering Service is incurring any rising costs to n ecessitate th e recent increase. Gym Classes Also on this line is the maintenance of gym classes. Hygiene classes are a different story, there you learn something; but gym classes are the most fruitless encounter I have met. Men's classes are not instructed; you come to class and do what everyone else is doing, which is Dis tribution of Fee The last item is the amount of student voice in the distribution of the Activities Fee Fund and the Council of Deans Fund (general tuition which creates the present Concert & Lecture Series).

If 'I may quote 'Dan Kopen: "The activities fee collected this year is to support and generate more campus oriented activities ." Now I would like to quot e Jack Blannet on Earth Week: "Earth Week is sponsored by Wilkes College, but not for Wilkes College." It seems very clear that these appropriations were misappropriations. I understand fully that we are in a time of inflation; increasing costs. But I feel more consideration should be given to those individuals whose income is not increasing to m eet the rising Oollege costs (Social Security recipients for exa mpl e] . And with this, I think that when prices go up, quality and responsibility should rise to meet it.

Nex t week, from April 23 through 25, the Wilkes College Theatre production of Thornton Wilder's 1942 Pulitzer Prize winning play "Skin Of ' Our Teeth" will be p·resented to the public. The three -act play, deemed wild and wacky co m edy, deals with the attempts of the human race to create a peaceful nature.

The purpose - to educate the people about what can be done with environmental pollution. THE BEACON wants to thank Jack Blannet, Tom Selecky, Dave Brandon, and Dr. Bruch for their efforts in this project. The slogan, 'The whole world is watching,' is becoming synonomous with Earth Week. But, what will the whole world be watching? People are going to be watching and learning about the ecological problems that face the world. They want to know what can be and is going to be done. More than that, however, the world is going to be watching the people running the affair. Many of these people are politicians, scientists and college professors - and many are young adults and students. The students of today are the leaders of tomorrow; the world will be watching to see how these people are handling and going to handle the present situation. The students are the ones who are going to take on the resopnsibility of this project and take a definite step to correct the situation. Students have been looked down upon for years because they were irresponsible, drug-taking, hippie-type people. Now, all students have the opportunity before them to prove to the watching world that they are qualified to be the leaders of the world - Earth Week starts with a parade on Sunday. NICE TRY!

During my sad excursion into local politics I was under t he tutelage of James Loftus, Chairman of the Wilkes-Barre City Republican Organization, who will vouch for my statement during the campaign that I would personally climb any tree and remove any poster of ours :which might be so thoughtlessly displayed. Furthermore, as I promised, I personally picked from the sidewalks and gutters of Wilkes 0 Barre 314 handouts with which the interested voters had littered the environment. I a lso personally removed any Republican placard which was in a position to be an eyesore. My defeat was in large part due to the reaction on the part of the electorate whose sensibilities had been bruised by the artless. display of campaign advertising placed by enthusiastic supporters but which I was unable to retrieve. Since the campaign cost me onlly $556.62 out of my own pockets and but $996.37 from the pockets of my friends, I felt that the lesson was learned at a bargain price. However, my r espiratory tract has never recovered from the long hours spent in smoke filled rooms, and I doubt that I shall ever be able to heal the old bellows despite the sympathies of Wilkesian wellwishers.

Faculty and administration justify this position by pointing out that students do not have any workable program for solving these besetting issues. For students to claim the possession of the perfect plan for implementing the solution to any issue would be naive; but for faculty or administration to dismiss college students for lacking such solutions is even more naive. The questions agitating our society are of such a basic nature that it is patently ridiculous to urge stud ents to stop t he "nonsense." Indeed, it would be absurd for young people to ignore the condition of their society, since this is the socie ty that they will inherit in a few short years. An unconscious attitude may be operating in student - faculty , student - administration relationship. Paul Goodman, in Growing Up Absurd, alludes to the "youth" of America as a minority group, alternately loved and despised by their adult counterparts. This speculative claim gains credence when we examine societal attitudes toward past generations of college stustudents. In the 1950's, for instance, students were condemned for their quietude, their indifference . This criticism overlooks the pervasive effects ·of the McCarthy hearings and their violent attacks , especially on the academic community. With the onset of the 1960's, a new generation of students invaded, literally and figuratively, the halls of academia. Complaints of their turbulent dispositions, their strident voices, and their uncompromising demands may bear some truth, but there appears to be more truth in Goodman's claim that the younger generation is a target, albeit unconscious, of abuse by their otherwise devoted and concerned parents. One axiom of this theory is that young people are in a state of emotional and psychological apprenticeship. Not yet mature, they are not to be taken seriously. This charge is not si,yallowed easily by the student population. Sophisticated, articulate, and precocious, these people are very aware of their society. What especially galls the students who hear this argument is that its proponent is frequently guilty of a dismal inability to grasp the realities that surround the students in their world. The growing polarization between students and faculty and students and administration is especially distressing in light of the divisiveness nationwide . ·The growing frustrations of many students and the resultant sense -of futility about social change led to the emergence of extreme factions . The presence of fanatic groups such as the Weathermen may serve to negate th e validity of the student movement. Focusing upon the practic es of a few undergraduates as representative of the entire student body results in a counter-charge from the young that the older generation is responsible for racism at home and imperialism abroad . The result has been the formation of two camps , sullenly looking across barbed wire fences of anger and fear. If this relationship based on mutu<;1l suspicion continues, the very fabric of education - trust, freedom of inquiry, and dissent will eventually b e unravelled. Needless to say, a distrust of the student community is growing and is fed by the irresponsible actions of a few . Every social movement draws a "lunatic fring e, " a group of extremists who exploit th e situa- tion to s erv e th eir own purp oses. In addition, th e inflammatory rh etoric of demagogues , th e se ns eless claim that all s tudent demand s ar e "non-negotiable ," and the do gmati c indictment that every coll ege professor is a "cop" and every studen t a "prisoner"- these techniques and charges serve to divid e th e college community even furth er. If the student and th e co llege are are to close ranks and to work together, th e myths and ster eotyp es must be dismissed. In addition, a re definition of th e status of th e student - and his rights, responsibilities . and duties - should be dev eloped.

This man, given the n ame John, told his daughter Kizzy all abo ut his life and so impressive was the story that she pass ed on the story of h er father chopping wood by the river Kambi Bolongo ~o her children and they on to theirs. And so it continued from the mou ths of th e older to the ears of the yo ung er until it reached Mr. Haley. It was the greatest possession of the family, for it was un usual for any slave to trace his h eritage du e to the amount ·of selling and buying. As a child, Mr. Haley did not realize the importance of such a tale and until his adult life considered it no more than folklore. During a stretch in the U.S. Coas t Guard in WW II, he accidentally started on the road to becoming a writer. His begi nning was of writing love letters for his buddies on his ship . From that he started to write for True Confessions , Harpers, Atlanti c Monthly and Reader's Digest. Haley's relationship to Malcolm X stemmed from a story he was asked to write about the Black Muslims, after which he became -a regular feature writer for Playboy Magaz ine . Publishers began to ask for a story about Malcolm and such was the occasion for his extensive research with the famous black man and the consequent; The Autobiography of Malcolm X. The following assassination of Malcolm X came with great sorrow to H aley and the events of the next few months came as what he describes as a "succession of miracles." While writing for Malcolm, he had been in Washington, D.C., following the vague idea that perhaps t he story of the slave and the river Kambi-Bolongo could be tru e. His r esearch was extensive and n early discouraging until he Alex Haley The author's story was nearly over by this time . He finished his talk by relating the final minute details needed for the book he would write- about this story - ·the ·saga· of the black man. He felt that now he could "tell it like it was" and that perhaps the reader of his book and the listener of his story could add their own moral. His moral, he explained was the importance of black people and their history of dignity and work, the dignity and work they had before they were taken from their homes and families. Mr. Haley's final hope is that by reading his book we too will realize that "B lack is beau tiful!" 0 NOTICE At the meeting of the Board of Trustees held on Friday, March 20, th e board gave hearty approval to th e agreement reached b y th e Inter-Dormitory Council, the Student Government, an d th e Administration r egarding visitation in the men 's do rmitories.

Two meal plans were disclosed for student consideration. Plan I called for an increase of $10 to the present room and board fee of $575. The plan calls for a sevenday meal plan, exactly the same as we have this year. Plan II provided for a choice between a fiive and seven-day plan. The five -day was $560 a semester for three meals a day, and the seven-day plan was $595 a semester, also for three meals a day. Plan I has been accepted by the students. Regardless of the plan chosen, it was note d that there will be an increase in room and board for next year because of the rising food costs and a slight increase for labor and overhea-d. It was added that a two -m eal-a-day plan would not be any cheaper.

At Milliken University in Decatur, Illinois, "students will be treated to the sound of the Millikin Jazz Lab Band." A noted conductor, composer, and arranger, Allyn Ferguson, with the aid of soloist Bob Perkins of Los Angeles, will supervise the presentation by the band of his latest work, "Suite for Tenor Sax and Jazz Band." The band being composed of the best of eighteen high school bands, the concert should be at least interesting, if not very rewarding. From the· South campus of Allegheny County Community College, we learn that a new series of special interest courses is now being offered. These " special interest courses" include those with descriptions such as occult sciences, income tax , folk guitar, and contemporary affairs. Perhaps ACCC is on the way to realizing that education does not always mean degrees and major fields. It means expand(Continued from Page 7) Football The Committee also: Made it illegal for a player to simulate a fair catch signal during a down in which a legal scrimmage kick was made, and provides for a clearer definition of extending the arm and hand clearly above the head on a fair catch signal; · Legalized insignias in the middle of the field provided the yard lines running through them are discernible to the officials and the players; Limited the numbers to be used on jerseys to 1 to 99.

At Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pa., proposals are being considered which hope to change or modify the current grading system. "Th e highest incidence of proposals concerns pass-fail." There are variations in the different proposals. Some advocate a three -step system which would award the exemplary student with "honors," the average with "pass," and the deficient with "fail." Other proposals suggest saving the actual letter grades to be available at the student's request. Other less widely advanced proposals which call for adding a plus or minus to the letter grade or the implementation of a 12-point system hope to provide a more accurate range of marks. To be sure, any of the proposed changes would have a drastic effect, but, hopefully, Dickinson will have time to adjust to the initial inconvenience and be able to reap the rewards of a more accurate grading. It has been said that grading is a necessary evil; if it is, Dickinson may have found a way around it. (Continued from Page 1) watching." Working from its office in the basement of Barre Hall, it has planned several activities for Earth Week (specifically April 19] which include: booths at Public Square and Kingston Corners, Milton Shapp and other politicians to give views, forums where the problem of pollution will be discussed, a parade through- Wilkes-Barre, and the selling of flags and decals. The Clean Environment Committee has the permission ·of the police department to block off any streets (within reason) and the Public Square for these activities. For the parade it would like all dorms and clubs to make displays, etc., and to join in the parade on April 19. However, in the parade it wants no internal combustion engines as these only add to pollution. It is realized that during Earth Week classes must go on, but the Clean Environment Committee is asking the coperation of all faculty members in directing their classes in some way to nature and the problem of pollution. The committee also needs the help of any interested volunteers for internal coordination committes between col(Continued from Page 3) leges, and als·o between colleges and high schools.

Next will be speeches on industry's role in pollution . The third part of the forum will be on a way out of the problem of pollution. Sp eeches on this will include a means of correction and the projected legislation that is being sought. To end the forum, there will be an open floor where questions may be asked. The general reaction to the speeches probably will be manifested. Of course, the Clean Environment Committee needs money with which to work, and it indicated from where its initial backing came. The Student Government appropriated $300 for it from the Activities Fee Fund, and the Council of Deans appropriated $200 for the committee from the general budget obtained from students' tuition; this general budget creates the money for the present Concert & Lecture Series Fund. Since the backing of the Clean Environment Committee has come from the student body of Wilkes College, we all have a part in this campaign. However, as Jack Blannet put it, "This is sponsored by Wilkes College, but not for Wilkes College." Pollution is an individualistic problem; we should ask what we can do as individuals. Representa tives from 300 col· leges and universities are currenlly taking part in the 24th Annua Eastern College Science Confer· ence which is being held on the Wilkes College campus. Delegates are presenting scien· tific papers in the areas of biolog) chemistry, physics, mathematics and social science. Highlighting the event is the lee• ture session of Dr. Gerhard Dessauer, a noted nuclear physicist who opened the conference at the Irem Temple. Tomorrow evening, Dr. Ernst Stuhlinger, the associate director for science of NASA's Marshal Space Flight Center, will speak at a banquet. Yesterday, the Wilkes College Concert Band provided a break in the routine scheduling with musi· cal entertainment for the guests. Undergraduate scientific research papers will be presented tomorro11 night at the banquet. Local industrial leaders hm tours for the delegates. In addition the ESCS Exposition is providin an opportunity for those in attendance to see the latest in scientific wares and services. The Exposition is located in the south wing of Stark Hall, on the second floor.
