Community Plans Made By Project Reach-out Project Reach-Out, sponsored by Student Government, held a meeting recently to discuss plans for this semester. The purpose of this group is to promote student interest in the community and to bring a little happiness into the lives of deserving persons who otherwise would not have the opportunity to go places and see things that we take for granted. On past projects, the program has worked with children from St. Stanislaus' Institute and ·St. Michael's School for Boys. Children were taken to football game, Christmas parties held, and picnics sponsored. It is planned in the future to work with senior citizens as weU as the children. The first project for this semester will be a trip to Hershey. Scheduled to go are about 50 children from a Wilkes-Barre Commission on Economic Opportunity Community Center for low income families. The unit also is planning to tour the chocolate factory, the amusement park and the zoo. This bus trip will be on either a Saturday or Sunday; tenta:tive dates are April 18 or 19 or April 25 or 26. Insurance will be provided for the ch'ildren. Students who are interested in helping to give these children a memorable day are asked to attend a meeting on March 24 at 11 a.m. in Stark 109 (signs will be p osted) and to sign up so that final details can be worked out. If you cannot attend, please give your name and phone number to •a frie nd who can attend or to Wilh elmin a Quinn or Jack Blann et. After Eas ter, on April 7, the first Tuesday afte r vacation, there will be anot h er m eetin g. The second project for the semester will be a picnic for a group of chHdren in May b efor e the semester ends. Plans for this picnic will b e discussed at a fu ture meeting. Board Considers College Polities Topics of discussion at today's Board of Trustees' meeting include: the impact of taxes on independent colleges, student visitation, and the character of the college. It has been brought to the attentention of the Administrators at the college that independent colleges may be taxed. There is great consternation concerning what impact these taxes will have on the status of independent colleges. If enacted, public institutions would receive between ·$ 1,000 and $2,000 a year from the tax monies of independent colleges. Dr. Eugene S. Farley feels that it is important that the independent colleges remain independent. In addition, the Board of Trustees will consider the dormitory visitation and gDvernance plan. Even though the plan has been approved by the Administration, it must be approved by th e Board of Trustees before a policy change can b e made. Th e Board of Trustees will also con tinu e its discussion as to t h e character of the college. It is fe lt that th e college mus t establish and maintain a peculiar character of its own in this time of "fermen t." Not only is character importan t fo r dis- ' tinguishing a school, but it is equally important for th e students, faculty, Adminis trati on and trustees to identify and commit themselves to th e character of a schoo]. by Ronnie Lustig In recen t months, Wilkes has been plagued by bomb scares, arson attempts, and actual fires. It seems like it all began with the Conyngham fire, December, 1968. Ever since, places like Stark Hall have been the scenes of numerous attempts at arson. Last month, someone set fire to trash cans outside the library. Our most recent incident was a fire in Sturdevant Hall, a girls' dorm. The above had prompted this writer to conduct an independent survey of the condition of fire extinguishers in campus buildings. Only th en did I find that the maintenance department, headed by Nelson Carle, was conducting its own inspection on behalf of the college. The maintenance department, under constant pressure from the city, has sole charge of keeping the extinguishers in an operable condition. They had all been inspected in January 1968 and 1969. The department got bogged down with extra work after the Christmas recess and, consequently, is -about one month behind with the 1970 inspection. A detailed inspection takes about one month to complete. It should ·b e stressed that the work is being done and that the department 'i s not negligent of its resp onsibility. According to Mr. Carle, "I have been fire-conscious ever since the Conyngham fire." Fire extinguish ers used on campus cost an average of $60 each. Eliminatin g theft and providing there are no air or pressure leaks, the water and air type extinguishers can last four to five years without inspecti on. But this is n ot an excu se for an intentional oversight. I fo und Parrish Hall to be in poor condition. According to Mr. Carle, it is th e w or st building on campus concerning fire extinguishers, which isn't a very comfortable thou ght con sidering the number of people that use th e b uilding. Some extinguish ers have been inspected as recently as March 10, 1970 (one had already developed a leak and was registering "discharged") . The fifth fl oor had one with no tag and the other was dated April 22, 1966. Th e first and second floor each had ·o ne checked on January 14, 1969 and both were on the borderline of being charged and discharged (closer to the latter). Fire Exits Unmarked Another dangerous aspect of Parrish Hall is that none of the fire exits are marked as such. As a matter of fact, they look like closet doors. This isn't very encouraging because it requires a great deal of daring to take the elevator 'in Parrish. The hamsters that operate it might be affected by the smoke. Actually, the proper signs have been ordered. One wonders why they •a re just being ordered. In the event that you are trapped in Miner Hall, it is strongly suggested tha:t you use the windows or escapes. The doors in that building open inward . In reference to Sturdavent Hall, there were supposed to b e two extinguishers within 20 feet of the fire, yet no one thought to use them. The girls later complained that they are too heavy to lift off the walls, which may very well be true for a girl. This has prompted the college to inquire about a smaI!er type fire extinglisher for a housemother or a girl to use. All in all, have no fear. If a fire breaks out in your building (and let's pray the plague is over), you will be safe. For those of you who find the two hidden extinguishers in the Commons dated April 14, 1966 - don't panic, their inspection will be brought up to date this month, providing anyone finds them. Also, the ancient date doesn't mean it is an antique. Chances are it works. In the event of an actual fire, don't panic, rather follow the basic procedures we learned from fire drills in grade school, and maybe even try an extinglisher. You may be in for a surprise, one way or the other. Let's face it, it's either going to drip out or spray out, but something has to happen!

As a co-editor I believe that students have a right to be heard, they have the right to know the goings on of the campus, and they have the right to read and interpret things as they please. They also have the right to have an editor who is honest not only with her self but with others. It is easy to write an editorial supporting proposals and policy changes that are best for the students. It is more difficult to find errors and then make constructive recommendations. And, it is most difficult to choose a candidate to support all students when you must be honest with yourself as well as all the students. Next Tuesday, each student has the privilege to vote for the next president of SG - a privilege in the respect that each student's vote is recognized, counted , and appreciated. Each student has the right to be heard and he is going to be heard. Before you are three capable people. They must be capable or else they wouldn't have been elected to the offices they now have. Before you are three experienced people. Aldo Farnetti has been president and vice-president of his class. Danny Brew and Stephen Kubricki have been members of SG . What kind of criteria do you set up to evaluate three capable, experienced people? This year has been marked by much change and controversy, yet some things remained stable - honesty, trust, and understanding. These are the criteria on which these three people must be evaluated. Each student must evaluate the candidates not on promises or experience , but on something more - a subjective value. The value is who you th ink is the " most honest, the most trustworthy, and the most understanding of your needs, the students' needs. l.c/tuJ ~ernilu/J lliclcgiJt Simple Suggestions We understand that the College has "solved" the problem of how to handle the no-curfew proposal. Girls coming in after the freshman and sophomore curfew hours are expected to go to the New Men's Dorm to sign in and out and be escorted back to each dorm by a security guard. Before we state our reasons for disapproving of this decision - we would at least like to congratulate the person who came up with this suggestion - not for his intelligence, but for his ingenuity! We hope he has a vast store of it, because as we anticipate the complications that may arise from this way of handling the problem , we realize that it will take ingenuity to wend one's way through the complicated maze. In the first place, it seems absurd to make a girl walk to the New Men's Dorm if she lives several blocks in an other direction. It is not merely a matter of inconvenience, it is dangerous. We also pity the poor security guard who may be confronted with 10 girls from 10 different dorms all at once. We do not know if he will act as Pied Piper leading the entire group from dorm to dorm , or whether he will make 10 separate trips from the men's dorm to the womer]' s dorms. Even though it sounds humorous, we also wonder how it will be when a girl returns to the campus in less than a stable state of mind and must ask the guard to escort her home! We also anticipate the slightly embarrassing sight of a girl , her date, and the noble security guard walking down the street in a cozy threesome. We wonder who kisses the girl good-night, and if the guard will be enough of a psychologist to turn away rather than embarrass the couple. Of course, this could provide the greatest handshaking epidemic this campus has ever seen! We cannot help but wonder if this bright solution to a problem is not part of a conspiracy (perhaps subconscious) to make the no-curfew as inconvenient and difficult as possible. Indeed, several coeds have commented that it would be easier to get in on time rather than go through the silly routine of marching to the men's dorm. We cannot understand why each dorm is not issued several keys which could be signed out, and returned the following day. A lost key would result in a $10 fine - surely enough to prod anyone into being careful with it! ·~ To the Editors: It appears, at leas! in this "politician's" mind, that our Biology ex• pert cannot "see the forest for the trees." May I respectfully remind him that it wasn't long ago when another "incipient politician" sought representation on WikesBarre City Council. Without a doubt, there were campaign posters , "back in them days." Perhaps they were not l;lS colorful as our own, but undoubtedly just as flagrant and just as unlawful. If our fair city had enforced said fines in that campaign, maybe we would not be burdened with the high taxes we are now paying. BIOLOGISTHEAL THYSELF! Jim Loftus To the Editors: That Walter and Mike were found were found "guilty until proven innocent" in the eyes of the college should be sufficient reason to instigate an immediate reordering of priorities with respect to the college Administration and its students. The dissembled paper policies of this college cannot continue to outweigh human deference on issues of individual freedom. No college has the right to play games with the lives and futures of its students. The teleology of this college should (re]orient itself toward the best interest of its students, and as is now clearly the case with Walter and Mike, it did not do so.

Kupchynski THE BEACON 'Peace 1aJt' ~c,eduled To the Editors: After many months of low-key, grass-roots organizing against the war, we feel it is again time for a dramatic protest. Therefore, on April 13-15 there will be a threeday "Peace Fast" to demonstrate our deep moral commitment against the Vietnam War. Fasting has long been -associated with distress and mourning. This is one of the purposes of the Fast - to recall all those who have died, North and South, American and Vietnamese-and to admit our complicity in the immorality ·of the war and in their dying. The Fast is also a time of purification and rededication - to the peace movement, to one's personal beliefs and actions, for the justice of the cause without being selfrighteous, and for non-violent social change in the tradition of Ghandi. ·W e need your endorsement to make this a major event in the effort to · bring aU our troops home Editors-in-Chief. . .. ...

Evidence of this is the student representation on fac ulty committees initiated last semester and the system of self-governance by students of the Visitation Hours Program put into effect just a short time ago. Furthermore, there is the great possibility of having a student Judicial Court established in the near future for the purpose of adjudicating decisions in the area of student affairs. There is, therefore a very tremendous and growing need for both day and dorm students to take an active interest in not only their academic affairs, but also their social affairs. ily about three ,rium was full. with a lecturer ire would be I was als o disw members of ull themselves usy schedules :e. another point, and unlimited raculty should s a man who ;, many faculty book for their 1ptivated audiayed from the , his audience THE BEACON fleet upon the past and present actions of the candidates in regard to student affairs.

The need has als <:1" become increasingly evident for capable and knowledgeable leadership to direct, formulate, and channel student opinion and activism. Recent student opinion and activism displayed itself in the meetings held in the gymnasium and in the New Men's Dormitory concerning the proposals presented to the Administrative Council last month. Student opinion and activism is just now being heard over the issues concerning the increase in the Student Activities Fee from $10 to $25. It is clearly by Stephen Kubricki evident that the positions of leadership are now and will continue Student Government cannot be to become increasingly important effective if it deals with wornon this campus.

More often than not, we find ourselves concerned with the effects of a proposed change; instead of being concerned about the reasons why this change has not come about, or why it has taken so long to occur. The process of change at Wilkes has been slow. Is it because our institution is producing such a satisfactory brand of citizen that it can afford to let well enough alone? I think not. Is it because we have been condiby Denny Brew tioned so that great changes are not expected?

When the wishes of my electorate are in no clear way known, or when they are divided, I then would react upon the advice of the other elected representatives in a manner I felt was in the best interest, taking sole responsibility and ramification from the students for my actions.

THE BEACON Viewpoint Compos Group Formed To Bottle Pollution New Exhibit Music Dept. To Present At Conyngham Poem By P.

How easy to point a finger at This pas t week, Conyngham Anindustries, manufacturers, etc., and shout, "Stop, you vile pollut- nex housed what was perhaps th e ers!" How much more difficult to look inside oneself and say the most outstanding art exhibit of the same thing. We are all producers of pollution and as we multiply year. The seniors responsible for our numbers we add still more producers who in turn multiply and so on and so on and so on . . . We are faced with two alternatives. First, we can ignore the whole problem of over-population and consequent pollution (this has been the prevalent attitude]. If man is, in essence, an animal like unto all other animals, this attitude should lead to so me form of self destruction (plague, war, increased suicide - the variations are many) which would return the population to the level the environment can support. Or, we can begin (1) some kind of national birth regulation and (2) some form of environmental awareness program which would acquaint individuals with their responsibility to their environment. Rational birth control is a topic which needs much investigation and discussion. It is also a topic which inflames the emotions of advocates of free expression. Since this article has as its main goal the presentation of a new organization here at Wilkes, such d iscussion will be tabled for further articles. This organization is the Wilkes College Student Committee for a Clean Environment. Its main p urpose will be to provid e a channel through which interested persons can unite in their efforts to arouse the more apa:thetic element of the population. (Mr. Agnew's "silent majority" may be substittued here]. In the first two weeks of its existence, this organization has succeeded in (1) generating enough interest in Tinicum Marsh to obtain ,a temporary injunction halting work; (2) been invited to help organize a raft race with King's College during the Cherry Blossom Festival ; (3) formulated plans to involve Wilkes on April 22, Earth Day. The Tinicum Marsh action was based primarily on the efforts of two students, Dave Brandon and Tom Selecky. Motivated by an announcement by Dr. Harold Cox in one of his classes, they b egan to enlist political figures ranging from the crossing guard at th e WilkesBarre Court House to the Secre tary of the U.S. Department of. the Interior. Walter Cronkite, in a national newscast, credited the committee with initiating interest which halted the dredging.

Richard Chapline, faculty baritone, and Marlene Atherholt, student soprano, will be t h e featured soloists, The Requiem is a musical setting of the Walt Whitman elegy: "When Lilacs Las t in the Dooryard Blo,om'd". The poe m, written on the death of Abraham Lincoln, was a most fitting text for a requiem composed to express mankind's mourning for the many war dead of W .W . I and indeed for the death of the American leader and symbol of th e war efforts of Franklin Roosevelt. Hindemith's Requiem was finished in New Haven on April 20, 1946 and received its first pe rformance ·on May 14, 1946 with Robert Shaw conducting. It was not until April 1963 tha:t the work received a second performance, this time conducted by the composer himself. Paul Hindemith died shortly thereafter. The Wilkes Chorus, 83 studenll, is proud to present such a master work to the campus and community. Indeed, the 83 student mem· bers have been working diligently musically. I co Mr. Probert, the conductor of the ch orus, feels that the work is indeed relevant to the time and Bl" tistically expresses mankind's dit taste for war.

John Marfia paced the squad with a second-place finish while Andy Matviak placed third. Marfia and Matviak, the only Wilkes wrestlers to place in the top four, will wrestle in the NCAA University Division March 26, 27, 28, and 29 at Northwestern University. Ron Fritts pinned his first opponent at 190 pounds but was defeated by his foe from Amherst in the second round. Leo Roan advanced to the second round via a bye and won an 8-2 decision. He then opposed a 240-pound heavyweight and was pinned in his third round. The only other teams which finished in the top ten from the East were New York Maritime, third; Springfield, eighth; and Wilkes.

D01nzalski Cites Ballclub's 6t6tGr·e at Attitude'',.,,,. No Depth In his first year as head baseball coach, Gene Domzalski is faced with a serious conflict. That is, inexperience and a.lack of depth versus what he calls "a great attitude" on the part of his ballplayers. Lack of depth is a serious problem. Since it cannot use freshmen, due to MAC rules, the coaching staff is forced to use only upperclassmen. This is significant, since in past years at least two or three frosh have held regular positions on the varsity. Coach Domzalski maintained that all positions are open, but the following players will probably be starters at one position or another. Sophomore Ted Sokolowski and southpaw Joe Zakowski will rotate as starting pitchers. Zak is also one of three captains . John Baranoski will man the bullpen for relief work and also be a spot starter. Lewis and Dennis Brew are fighting given "every opportunity" to play, for the shortstop position. Lewis according to Domzalski. has been back-up shortstop for the Domzalski, a former professional past two seasons. player himself in Triple-A ball, is joined on the coaching staff by assistant coach Jonah Gubeck.

Lacrosse, which originated with the Comanche Indians as a preparation for battle, is a relatively new sport in terms of popularity and a young sport in terms of the number of schools which feature lacrosse as a varsity sport. Wilkes is one of no more than 150 schools throughout the United States does have a team. Under the direction of Jon Habrock, some 40 players started practice two weeks ago in preparation for the second year of lacrosse at Wilkes. Last year the team played only three games but won two, both against Kutztown State ' College. This season, however, there are seven contests, four at home. Lacrosse was a strange sport to most of iea- atooton't rn'll for \ ,l\ , .. · · Lacrosse, he said, was a battle with rules. It combines the skills of football, s·o ccer, and ·· · · · • basketball, and takes as much skill to play as does tennis, which is a great deal. There are 10 men on a side, each armed with a stick with a leather webbing on top, called the crosse, with which the player can throw, catch, and shoot the ball. He can also hit his opponent with the stick, which is done frequently . k ,, flME I p.m. I p.m. I p.m. I p.m. I p.m. I p.m. I p.m. l p.m. ) p.m. the players, and perhaps still is. This reporter hadn't seen an official game until he played in one. To clear up the matter, Coach Habrock called a team meeting a while ago to explain the fundamentals of the game. _ \ ,'r There are four positions: midfield, attack, defense, and goalie. The midfielders transport the ball from the defensive half of the field to the offensive, so their team can score . The attackers do the shooting, with help from the middies. If they miss and the opposing middies get the ball to their attackers, it is up to the defensemen to halt their progress and prevent a goal. The goalie protects the goal, which is a six-foot square. ) p.m. l p.m. 0 p.m. 0 p.m. 0 p.m. 0 p.m. 0 p.m. 0 p.m. 0 p.m. Page 7 THE BEACON Coach Habrock then got down to specifics. "We're probably the most physical team any team we play will face." With this, cheers broke out from the assembled players. "However, we'll practice fundamental skills more this year (laughter] since we won't be able to out-physical everyone." Our mo,od turned a bit uneasy when he continued: · "Last y~ar we outscored our opponents 13-3 in the final quarter. This means we were in better shape than they were. Gentlemen, this ye ar will be no different." And suddenly every returning player thought of one thing- the dike. The dike is the route the coach makes us run daily around Kirby Park, but it isn't quite as bad as we make it seem. Athletic Director John Reese recently announced the hiring of former Wilkesman Tom Rokita as the new soccer coach and assistant tennis coach. Rokita replaces Jim Nedoff as coach for the boaters, who was dismiss ed at the conclusion of this past season. Rokita brings with him plenty of spirit and know-how but not much experience. A 1968 Wilkes graduate, Tom played varsity so ccer for four years and captained the squad in his senior year. The new boater coach also captained the tennis team while he roamed the courts in his sophomore, junior, and senior years. His only coaching experience, however, came at the Wyoming Seminary Day School where he coached fifth and sixth grade basketball. But those who know him have faith. Mr. Reese commented, "He's a real good man to have on the staff. The most trouble he'll have is to set up the entire soccer program but we'll help him along with that." Athletic director John Reese (right) congratulates Tom Rokita on his Rokita himself felt, "I'm pretty enthusiastic about next season and recent appointment as new soccer coach .

In the academic year, from 1959 to 1960, the total cost of tuition, room and board was $1,400. Five years later (64-65) the costs per year were up to $1,875. This year (1969-70) the combined costs of tuition, room and board have reached $2,550 and, according to Dr. Eugene S. Farley, the tuition will incerase $200 next year. This means that in the past 10 years these costs are only $50 short of having been doubled. And this does not include the incidental costs a student has to bear [books, transportation, etc.). And do not mislead yo urs elf into believing that all this money has gone into improving the college. Again, according to Dr. Farley, only 15-20% of these increases have go n e into improvements. The rest has b een eaten up by inflationary costs.

These people are laying the groundwork on campuses for a nationwide declaration next month under the principle that "America must change its way of living or smother in its own waste.'' The target date for this "demonstration" is April 22 which has been designated as Earth Day. The day started out as a day to educate people and have teach-ins. Now, rallies, demonstrations, and protests are planned . It seems that the time has come to re-evaluate our values and face some of the important issues that face us not only today, but in the future. Startling facts are becoming more obvious. Within 20 years we are supposed to run out of oxygen, famines are to begin within the next 15 to 20 years, and Arizona, a state known for its clean air, is now fighting air pollution . Ask yourself, what will you be doing 20 years from now? We live in a land that maintains the principle of opportunity. Maybe it's time we put this "opportunity" into a different light and realize now while we have the "opportunity" that things can be done and corrected. Students are willing to unite and rally for dormitory visitation, something that affects us now. Why not rally for something that will affect us forever? Students, faculty, and Administration united this year for proposals. Why can't we unite again for our environment? Why can't we demonstrate on April 22? A time has come to look out our windows , even if it is only toward the Susquehanna, and realize that something must and should be done. A time not for the present, but for the future. If you want to last another 50 years, then do something now! !•f All interested persons are urged to contact Jack Blannet or Dr. Alvan Bruch. A FAIRY TALE Once upon a time, there was a valley. It had once been a beautful valley, abundant with green trees and a shining river. Many people wanted to live there, isolated from the outside world where things were not as beautiful. One day, however, some delicate people were afraid that their valley might become ugly. They complained to a man in shining armor who promised to rid the valley of anything that was not beautiful. One fine day, he rode out and confiscated a film that he found ugly. The people sat and applauded. Now their valley would be beautiful again. But these people in the valley had another problem. Sometimes they cou Id not see. When they bought a ticket they could see the dirty movie. But for free, they could not see big coal banks, the shiny river now turned brown, the streets filled with steam and holes, the bridge that was falling down, the politicians who sweetly told the people how cheery everything was, or the buildings that slid into the ground because once men had dug holes in the earth to take away its wealth. Because they could not see, the people were happy again. Moral of this story: what's the difference if we don't wake up? To the Editors : Pleas e note the following information: The yearbook staff has received notice from the publishing company that it will be permitted to take subscriptions for the 1970 Amnicola until March 31. All students are asked to take advantage of this extended subscription deadline. Any student who wishes to obtain a copy of the 1969 Amnicola can do so by contacting the Amnicola office [Stud ent Organizations Building), 76 West Northampton St., immediately. The supply is limited. "First-come , first served." Sincerely, Tom Cardello, Amnicola Editor Dear Editors: Rather than increase the activity fee, how about fining those incipient politicians who so fla grantly littered the campus with their art work last week. At the go ing rate for Pennsylvania ($100 per person per offense), Student Government would be rolling in dough. Meritorious is the suggestion that the offenders be dunked in the Y pool. The dunking could be the main event for April 22 and the Y could be declared open house for the show, thus killing two dragons with one swell foop. Chas. Reif To the Editors : As most of my friends know, I am basically a person of few words and say only what I feel has to be said. This is the first time I have written to The Beacon and may very well be the last, but I feel that what I am about to write more than deserves the space it will take. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the Class of 1972 for the outstanding support they have given me and their other class officers -and representatives for the past two years. In that time, the majority of the class members have clearly demonstrated that they are not merely another apathetic class but, rather a class that entered Wilkes College with an interest and spirit that is, unfortunately, not easily found in the typical Wilkes College student. What is more important is the fact that they have kept that same interest and spirit as sophomores. This is evidenced by the results of the recent elections. No candidat e won simply because he had no opponent, rather, there was more than enough competition for every office. And by competition I do not m ean a candidate who runs b ecause he is a good football player or b ecause he is a "nice guy.' I mean good, clean, h ard competition, and every candidate that won deserved to win. That is not to say that every candidate that lost deserved to lose, but that is the price that must be paid when a class is mad e up of so many outstanding individuals. I have always been proud to b e a member of the class of '72, but now, after losing, I am prouder than ever that my classmates had enough interest to nominate and elect someone other than me. I was proud to be the president of a class with a treasury greater than the other three classes combined. I was proud t·o call a class meeting and have a bigger attendance than any of the other three classes. I was proud to ask for volunteers for committees and find that instead of not having enough people to help there were often too many, and most of all I was proud of the number ·of nominees for next year's Junior class. I am in no way saying that I am not disappointed in the outcome of my bid for re-election, it's just that the pride outweighs the disappointment.

R. Williams In the beginning was the word , . , and there were no problems. Sometime between then and now, a lot of changes were made. The Earth happened; people happened. There was a time, not long ago, when there was lots of earth and not so many people . If a person didn't like things where he was, there were many other places to which to go. Things are different now. When people finally discovered that places to go were at a premium, they began to feel that changes would have to be made where they were. Simultaneously, they discovered that because there were, for a very long time, "places to go," no effective me thod had ever been developed for internal change. * However, what people interested in changing the system realized, people in charge of the system did not. So they continued to say "Love it or leave it" and "There are 2600 other . .. " etc. On the other hand, what people in charge of the system did realize was that no system could endure without at least tacit approval of the people in the system. Therefore, the people on top knew that if the people on the bottom couldn't be forced to leave, they had to be ostracized before they spread their discontentment. And this tactic was tried. But what happened was people continued to beget people and most of these people were people on the bottom. Discontentment grew. The system stood on the brink of collapse. Then people, both on the top and on the bottom (being the rational animals that they are?), realized if any were to survive, everybody had to cooperate. So they went about inventing an effective method so people within the system could change the system. And they all lived happily ever after ... (or so they'd like you to think). by Eric Mayer Hey, kids, let's all play a great new game. It's Conspiracy, Porker Brothers' game of police state tactics. It comes attractively packaged in a distinctive red, white and blue box and has been personally endorsed by U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell. And it's so easy to play. Just remember, act on impulse, prejudice or stupidity; us e anything but your mind. Any number can join in the fun. Have little conspiracies, big conspiracies, even invent yo ur own national communist plots, just like the real life Federal prosecutors. First you get warmed up by playing Rhetoric. Each player draws from the very official looking pile of ghost written rhetoric cards and attempts to spell out such household phrases as "impudent snob," "effete intellectual," and "fascis t pig." The player who yells out his phrase the loudest wins the "lower our voices" phase of the game, worth 20 points and the right to keep the Milhouse doll that plays the Star-Spangled Banner when you wind its head. Russian Club To Sponsor Yale Concert SI C g )5 ,;r, P age 3 Fresh from European and American concerts, the Yale University Russian Chorus will appear in th e First Presbyterian Church ·of WilkesBarre today at 8:30 p.m. Sponsored by the Yale University Alumni Association and appearing here under the auspices of the Wilkes College Russian Club, the concert is open to the public without admission charge. Committee members from the Russian Club are Kathleen Schirahman, Irene Colarusso, club president; Lillian Kowalski, Ken Patrician, Karen Bates, and Grace Richie. Since its inception in 1954, the 45-voice group of singers has sung and talked from San Francisco to Moscow, from the ghetto church in New Haven to the patriarchal cathedral in Bucharest. It has evoked standing ovations and silent tears, vociferous argument and mutual education. Since it was founded, it has built its unique approach to music and audience. Dennis Mickiewicz, a Latvianborn musi c student, assembled a group of students, undergraduate and graduate, w)10 had such a lively interest in Russian culture that they wanted at once to particip a te directly in this culture and to communicate their interest to others. The chorus, under the direction of Mr. Daniel Godfrey, is composed of both graduate and und ergraduat e students interested in Russ ian culture. The program will include folk, classical and liturgical selections. zr Then it's on to the halls of justice. The players choose sides: Government, Radicals, or Silent Majority. The Silent Majority then leaves the room until the conclusion of the game. Now the Government proceeds to choose any of the conservatively colored pawns, repr esenting such illus trio us figures as judges Hoffman, Haynsworth and Carswell. The Radicals receive pocket editions of the Dictionary of American Slang. Next the Grave National Crisis cards (with Agnew on the back) are shuffled by the Government which then draws a card from the bottom of the deck. The crisis, riots, peace march, student protest, Jo ye of freedom, etc., is note d. Quickly, the Government draws defendant pawns from the game box. The pawns, separated into various compartments, may be distinguished by their hairy or black appearance, and are labelled, for even easier discrimination, as professor, black militant, freak, baby doctor, and so on. After the random drawing of one defendant from each box, 5RY 5: c;o DH~EcTly To Oc> JRrl.,. No T by David Nicholson Three one-act plays, again directed by Wilkes College students, were presented in the Center for the Performing Arts on March 6, 7, 8. Although the thre e plays each took place in a room, this was their only similarity. The subject material focused on three entirely different scenes, from a hospital recuperation ward to an impressionistic home setting and finally, to the women's quarters of an insane asylum. "The Workhouse Ward," written by Lady Gregory, centered around the lives of two aged shut-ins in a poor-house, who had no one but each other to direct their miseryoriented statements. Elliot Rosenbaum and Joe Vojtko gave convincing performances as the two poverty-strick en inmates - their senile mannerisms and quavering speech fitted the characters' failing personalities. Debbie Chandler was adequate, but not as believable as her peers. Part of the trouble was due to poor make-up - Debbie looked more like a teenager with frosted hair than an elderly widow. In addition, both the male act-ors were covered with so many black crease marks that they appeared to have suffered through a fire rather than an arduous life. Set design was also lacking balance, with the superfluous door dispersing the tight continuity of the bed grouping which helped to strengthen the bond between the two men. Tad Mosel's "Impromptu" was the most abstract of the three plays, involving four actors who had been placed in a vague surrounding, ignorant of their purpose. Unforlu· nately, this play was not carried off as effectively as the other two, but the actors were not entirely to blame. All four gave interesting performances, but their. believability as actors was hampered by their poor diction - a mistake the directors should have noticed and corrected . Each player fitted into the four contrasting roles, but they became too engrossed with their part and the elocution suffered . Bob Sampson and Molly Jackiewi cz were forceful and dominant, while Al Adolphson and Eileen Rex played submissive roles, providing an interesting tug-of-war. The best was saved for last in "Chamber Music," an acco unt of the fe male ward of a m ental institution. Both the dir ec tor and the cast sho uld be commended for a successful play. the casting was done well, special thanks being given to Marlene Augustine, who handled her difficult role marvelously. Both Sandy Yucas and Nancy Halderman delivered their actions flawlessly and Judy Fried and Judy Sanger were perfect in th eir roles . Ella McNamara and Cynthia Lewis also handled their less exciting parts well. The directing was superb and surfaced a great deal of new and old talen t. It is refreshing to see students involved in the direction of playsvital experience for those who want to take up theatre upon graduating. However, it is important that these students be given free reign of their productions and not be hampered by "well-m eaning" advisors. PR:ss JusTICE ... WHAT• WHERE• WHEN the Government rudely throws its pawns down into the middle of the gameboard, screaming "Consiracy" (loudly enough so that the Silent Majority, watching TV in the next room, can hear) . It's almost time for the trial, but before that the Government players remove the blank, eagle-embossed, rule papers from the game box and retire to another room. Upon re turning, they present the rules they have just drawn up to the defendants. The defendants may not like these rules but if the Government players have done a good job it will be illegal even to prates t them. The pawns are then advanced around the board, according to the rules, naturally, and the defendants accumulate negative prejudice points for long hair and court room antics. Rhetoric is tossed around, witnesses are called. and judicial outrages committed. The game may seem endless but inevitably someone finally draws the "Julius Card" that says, "Go directly to jail." At this point the game appears to be meaningless, unless one of the victims becomes angered enough t-o snatch the gameboard up and throw it across the room, smashing it against the wall. On the bottom of the board, in small block letters, he will see printed, "Caution: This game is unconstitutional. Playing it may result in political vendettas and even death of individual freedom ." After which Porker Brothers will either have to throw out all those still unplayed games voluntarily, or see them des troy ed.

Proposals Exhibits At Conyngham Annex Submitted By , 'New Committee I: I1\,I J ~t ~ The Oriental influence upon the work of Wilkes student Na Kyung Lee adds an interesting facet to the exhibit at Conyngham Annex Gallery. Na Kyung uses many kinds of media to express the emotion which is obvious in her work. Most pleasing to this reviewer was her masterful control of the graphic medium. In graphics, her work reflects a strong and solid dimension - relating both negative and positive shapes in a highly coordinated and successfully functioning result. Na Kyung has also carried this quality into her watercolors. These paintings, though seemingly light and delicate, are a combination of strong demonstrative strokes and shapes which form a unified theme. The paintings reflect an individual nature which, more than Korean, is Na Kyung's own. The influence of a person's environment upon his work is easily interpreted in this exhibit. The style, the subject matter, the nature of her work can change by location, but the latent influence remains. The show is quite good and highly representative of Na Kyung's ability. Revelotions of Bohoulloh To Be Discussed Tomorrow The third in a series of Baha'i meetings will be held on Saturday, March 14, at 8 p .m. in Bedford Hall.

The book exchange program calls for the purchasing of books at a reduced rate and suggests running this bookstore by students in the Harding Road Building. Tentative plans set the installation of this project by April. The New Committee also read a proposal for extended hours in the Library. The tentative proposal calls for hours to be extended to 12 midnight every day but Friday and Saturday, which will be 10 and 9 p.m., respectively. The third proposal, unlimited cuts, recommends that students be granted an unlimited cut system. The underlying principle of the pro posal deals with the maturity ·of the students and their right to act responsibly. The final proposal submitted by the New Committee suggests that the four class officers of the four classes be required to meet in a joint session on a regular basis. Their function would be to coordinate class . projects and direct solutions to the problems. It was also announced by the New Committee that on March 14, Mike White, a semi-professional folk singer, will appear at the Commons. The show begins at 9 p.m. and will continue to closing. Mr. White is in the process of cutting an album and has released records. New Committee Plans Parkade For Students by How ie June As any day-hop knows, Wilkes College has a parking problem. Almost no space is provided by the college for over 1,000 students who have no choice but to drive to school. The chaos that dominates the struggle for a parking place is deplorable. Prodded by this observation, the New Committee recently began to integrate this dilemma. A survey of the area parking lots was taken, and it was found that the new parkade on South Main Street would be the most advantageous to Wilkes. In addition to a good location, it offered the fairest and cheapest prices. On March 4 the committee met with Dean Ralston and presented its views . In the discussion, it was learned the ownership had made Wilkes an offer last year to open parking spaces for its students. However, it had not been followed up. Apathy strikes again. On Friday, March 6, Dean Rome and Mr. Abate met with the owner of the parkade and discussed the problem. At a third meeting, also in Friday, the New Committee was informed that in all probability Wilkes College will be able to reserve an area of the parkade. The Administration is now waiting for word from owners as to what special rates may be available for Wilkes students. The College does feel, however, that it is necessary for it to subsidize student parking. On Friday, March 16, supervisors in the Commons game room will begin taking names of those who wo uld be interested in using this plan. It sh ould be emphasized that the plan would run from Monday through Friday. It is requested th at. only the students sign up w h o are sure they will use this parkad e. Should more students be interested than space a llows, parking perm its will be sold [b y th e b u siness office) in t h e order in which the nam es appear on th e sign-up sh eets. by Sally Donoho me MEETING, MARCH 2 Topics on the agenda included the Foreign Orphan Fund, Dormit Visitation, the Sturdevant fire, the band concert, and the newly propo all-campus Judiciary System. Concerning the Foreign Orphan Fund, IDC has decided to suppoll a child in a foreign country through high school and college. PreviouslJ, IDC had a fund for a student to come to Wilkes, but the student co~ not meet the requirements and alternate arrangements had to be madt It was announced that the first weekend of dormil'ory visitatiol went well and without any violations. The men are reminded that theJ must sign the girls out. It was also suggested that the men in the YMCA be transferred to the newly purchased apartments and that the YMCA be reserved for people not wishing dormitory visitation. Because of last week's fire at Sturdevant Hall, discussion arose OVII fire drills and what steps JDC would take to help Miss Nancy Haldeman. It was disclosed that a ll men's dormitories will have three fire drills during the semester. IDC also unanimously passed the appropriation of funds to Miss Haldeman to replace her books that were lost in the fire. On March 13, 14 and 15 a band concert will take place at the !rem Temple involving 124 students from all over Pennsylvania. !DC was asked to help accommodate these students, of which there are 37 women and 87 men. All women guests will follow the curfews set up by the college. Considerable discussion developed over the newly-proposed all-col· lege Judiciary System. Many suggestions were heard including: in relation to the size of the body, the appointment -or election, number of people and from what fractions of the college, and requirements. Interested students are reminded that IDC holds its meetings OD Mondays at 5:30 p.m. in Stark 109. STUDENT GOVERNMENT, MARCH 5 The meeting was marked by the acquisition of new members from the junior and sophomore classes. Topics ·of discussion included: The Russian Club, the Sturdevant fire, Women's Activity Association, the radio station, a student court, elections, dances, old proposals, the New Committee and the Social Events Committee. The Russian Club is sponsoring a group of Russian Club singers from Yale University tonight at the First Presbyterian Church. The concert is at 8:30 and admission is free. Following the concert, members are invited to a dinner at the dining hall. Members of Circle K at the meeting disclosed they are going to sponsor a fund-raisin g drive for Nancy Haldeman, the girl who lost .all her belongings in the recent ·Sturdevant fire. The .c ampaign is also gmng to collect money for a future fund in case an accident like this should occur again . The Women 's Athletic Association asked for funds for the newly· formed Strutter Group. The request was referred to the Athletic Committee . A decision will be made before Easter vacation. News of funds for the Wilkes College radio station was received from Dan Flood , congressman from Pennsylvania. It was disclosed that funds could be obtained if the radio station was to be an educational one on the FM band. Dr. Stanley Holden was appointed faculty advisor and Bill Bush er has be en appointed student advisor. Plans call for a radio station by the Fall on a format similar to that of the King's Col· lege radio station. All interested students are urged to contact either of these people. The plans for a Student Court were disclosed and the need for a proposal has been cited. Discussion arose over the type of court, size, who should be involved and its function. This is the same court system that has also be en proposed by IDC. Considerable discussion arose over the dances that are currently being held in the gym. A question has arisen as to whether dances will be dropped next year because of damage to the gym floor. It was also discussed as to who should control the dances - SG or the clubs. No decisions has been reached. There has been no word on the calendar change for next year or the proposal for no curfews for women. Tae curfew proposal is pending because there has not be en a decision on how to admit the girls to the locked dormitori es. The New Committee, represented by Howard Tune, submitted various proposals and announced that on March 14 a semi-professional folk singer will appear at the Commons. [See larger article for details on the proposals.) ·T he Social Events Committee announced that "The Canned Heat" is tentatively scheduled for Spring Weekend. "The Turtles" will not appear because the group has been dissolved. In conjunction with "The Canned Heat," "The Rhinoc eros" will appear at the concert to be held at Kingston Armory. All Wilkes College students will be admitted free. (EDITORS' NOTE : A retraction is necessary for a mistake printed in the February 20th issue of THE BEA CON.

In what seemed to be a grudge match, Circle K defeated the Cogs, 71-55. In their earlier meeting this year, the Cogs lost, but protested the game. There was no protest this time, however. John Clark led . the K's with 23 but Cogs ' Dave Bright took the scoring honors by netting 25. The Cogs finished the regular season in good position, ranked one place ahead of the Circle K but only Bright scored consistently for them as they went down to defeat. The four top-rated teams, Warner, Hourglass, Faculty, and Fick 'Ems, are still in the running for the title and at this point are the favorites to win it. In the final games of the regular season, the YMCA knocked off Bruch, 5-43 . Tom Page led the Y with 38 markers and Jim Kastilani led the Bruchmen with 17. Bill Martin's 30 point1, were not enough for the Boh emians as the Tizzies went on to win, 84-74. John Hudak paced the T's with 23. With ,Ron. Rainey swishing the cords for 18 markers, the Faculty rumbled past the Bar, 68-54. Top-rated Warner thoroughly trounced the Fick 'Ems, 8-47. "Bullet" Bob Kern led all scorers with 33 and Joe Zakowski had 24 markers for the Fick 'Ems. - NOTICE- All students interested in obtaining a charter flight to Europe this summer please contact Jon Schiffman, Room 227, Dirksen Hall, or John Freund.

The secondplace team managed but 64. Perhaps no one wrestler dominated the tournament as did Marfia. The Easton native won each bout on the way to become the champion by a pin. For this he was awarded the event's "Outstanding Wrestler" award, an award which, to put it simply, he deserves. recap of ,ws a tale Dean Georg e Ra l ston Wrestl e r J ohn Marfia. co n g r atu lates Outstandin1 when he commented, "I think I'm up for a little more than a pizza tonight," at the end of the tournament. But when one speaks of Marfia, it's quite difficult to keep the name of Andy Matviak out of the conversation, for both captained this year's mat team and both exemplified the history of the rnatrnen over the past four years. Ron Fritts, who missed the last four dual meets due to an injured shoulder, was ready to go all the way at 190 pounds as he too wrestled his best last weekend. The only ob· stacle in Ron's way for a title was one Tom Field of E-town. Ron had lost to him ear· lier in the year by a 12-2 score. But it looked as though Field caught Ron off guard that time as there was no way Ron was going to lose this one. He jumped off to a 5-0 lead in the first period and was never threatened after that. As time ran out, Ron joyfully jumped up and down on the mat for his most gratifying win. He was greeted by assistant coach Ted Toluba and told him: "We have a lot of champs on this team, don't we!" Coach To· luba responded, grinning, "Yea, and a hot· dog, too." And it was equally difficult to designate one of them as the outstanding wrestler for they both, in addition to Al Zeiner, had brilliant tournaments. Andy had been denied an MAC title ever since he began wrestling for Wilkes and he wasn't going to let his last opportunity slip by. With all his determination and skill, Andy went out and copped his first title. At 158 pounds, Zelner finished a tremendous undefeated du al-meet season as 10 of his 12 victories were by pins. He continued right through the tournament as his firs t three bouts were won by pins. In the final bout, however, he decisioned Gary Nussbaum for the win. Perhaps his greatest and unbelievable bout came in the opening round. Al was ,b ehind 6-0 and was on his back when, before you could say "Snake," he threw a move and pinned his man.

"What a night!" exclaimed co-captain Joh n Marfia as the work, sweat, and dedication of the past four years was evident on his face after the Colonel grapplers had captured the championship in the MAC Tournament. •B ut it was no ordinary tournament. Dennis Verzera placed third at 142 pounds. Leo Roan, Torn Morris, and Gerry Willets all lost in the consolation round. However, Ger· ry had defeated the champ in his division, Mike Helm of Elizabethtown, earlier last year. Steve Kaschenbach, champ at 150 pounds, performed well throughout the tourney, better than he wrestled in dual-meet competition. Rich Ceccoli promised a championship at 177 pounds and he delivered. Rich appeared to be tired in the middle of his final bout but finished strong to win by decision. standing performances were named to the All-American wrestling team for that year. In the following season Andy started things off right by winning the Wilkes Open, and John finished the season by gaining a Middle Atlantic championship in the 130-pound class. Both John and Andy concluded their collegiate careers brilliantly as each became MAC champs this year. ·B y virtue of four pins, John was elected Outstanding Wrestler of the tourney. Coach Reese commented, "They're both one in a million. No one worked harder than they did all year. They're irreplaceable." With the MAC tournament over, teammate Ron Fritts walked over to Andy, who was holding his medal, and inquired what it was. Andy responded, "It's something I've worked for for four years." Both wrestlers reached the same pinnacle - MAC champs-but each had different styles to get there. John depends on the strength of his hands and wrists to control his opponent. He concentrates around the head and squeezes his opponent's wrists. He doesn' t move as much as Andy does , but he is more explosive. Andy is best described as perpetual motion on the mat; he always moves and always looks for the pin. His best move is a shoulder roll, which he has learned to perfection. · But either way one looks at it, they're both champs - on and off the mat. ANDY MATVIAK "::~, I "What A Night" by Stan Pearlman Two of the finest grapplers in the history of Wilkes College, John Marfia and Andy Matviak, will be graduated this June, and with their departure the school will lose two of its most outstanding all-around students. Since coming here in September of 1966, Andy and John have contributed to the school in many ways. John has been President of the Lettermen's Club, Secretary of Roosevelt Hall, as well as a member of the soccer team; and previous season. John in his first Andy has served as Secretary of year here at Wilkes had a record the Lettermen's Club, as well as a of 7-2, in 1968, 12-3; 1969, 11-1; and member of the soccer team.

It began to pay off in their senior year, as Andy improved his record to 14-2, and John, to 10-1-2. Still, neither was able to get beyond the sectionals in the Easton District tournament, and if it hadn't ·been for the guidance of their high schol coach, John Maitland, and the foresight ·of Coach Reese neither would have made it to Wilkes. Coach Rees e tells the story this way. "I was interested in another wrestler on the Easton team, named fohn Marthinson who was a district champion that year, ·but Coach Maitland also recommended John and Andy. All thre e came up to see the school, and all three were ac: epted. Only John and Andy de:ided on Wilkes, however, and Marthinson went to Lycoming. Happily for .us we've gotten the best of the :leal since Marthinson has had a ,eries of physical mishaps and has men little action for Lycoming." Andy and John expressed their feelings about corning to Wilkes this way. "We both wanted to go together to a superior small school, 11ot too far from home. After seeing :he school and talking to Coach Reese, we decided on Wilkes." Since corning here to school, the 'dynamic duo" has each year irn1roved upon their record of the Friday, March 13, 1970 As Coach Reese pointed out, "The boys were ready tonight and they were all great." Two reasons why they were ready have to be his two indescribable captains, Matviak and ·Marfia. Their services to the team and the school are hard to put into words but let it suffice that they did the job of captain as well as anyone ever did, and then some. tly downs at the e ,ned with o tough clul .aca.

A recap of the Colon els' season shows a tale of ups and downs mostly downs at the beginning and ups at the end. The Wilkesmen opened with road victories over two tough clubs, Madison FDU and Ithaca. Spirits were high as the team bus pulled into Selinsgrove High School to play the Susqu ehanna Crusaders. That al1ernoon started the Colonels down as the Crusaders handed Wilkes a sound thrashing. Next came an unb elievable loss at Philadelphia Pharm acy, followed by a loss to Elizabethtown in the home opener. This put tho Colonels' record at 2-3. Coach Rainey's charges hit the rebound trail with a victory over hapless Drew, followed by impressive wins over Susqu ehanna and Lycoming at home.

When asked his feelin gs on th e recently completed campaign, Coach Ron Rainey replied, "Yes, I was pleased with the seas·on - especially the way we played in th e last month ." Coach Rainey credited th e Colonel surge to th e ou tstan ding play of Herb Kemp and Rich Davis, co u pled with good performan ces b y Wally Umbach, Jay Reimel, Dave Kurosky, Bill Grick, and T erry Jon es. Rainey continu ed, " Sin ce we don 't have that on e p layer in the superstar category who can carry our team , we h ave to h ave gnod perfo rman ces from everyb ody to win ball games. Toward th e end of th e season, th e boys fo und this ou t and resp onded to th e challen ge. With each game they gained co nfidence, which th e record shows." Jay Reime l, the Colon els' ball handler par excellence, and Dave Kurosky, the to ugh soph forward, also received p lau dits fro m Coach Rainey. Reime l accumulated 216 assists th is year - a Wilkes record and Kuros k y had several fine reboun ding gam es after cracking the starting lin eup. board berths ·o n the team when practice starts next Fall. Rainey feels that the win over Wagner was the turning point of the season. Much of the credit for that victory he gives to Billy Grick. Grick saw his first action of th e year in that game and inspired the Colonels to come back from a 30poin t deficit to score their biggest victo ry of the year. When asked about his recruiting campaign for next season, th e Baron of Northeastern Pennsylvania remarked, "Of course, Tom McMillan is coming, and I think we'll get a couple other good kids." Some of the more significant accomplishments of the season were the Colonels' first victory over Wagner, Umbach's entrance into the 400-point clu b, Kemp's 1,000th career rebound, the Colonels' third straight winning season, and the matching of their previous high of 14 wins. Coach Rainey expects continued success next year for the Colonels. With only two players gone via gradu ation and a fine crop of freshmen moving into the varsity ranks, Rain ey expects a real scramble for At the beginning of this article, I mentioned that the thud of basketballs and the chatter of the team are gone. These removals are temporary as they will return with the onset of practice next October. However, some parts of Wilkes basketball are gone for good. H erb Kemp and ·B ob Ockenfuss will be graduated in June. Herb and Ocky had a great deal to do with establishing a winning tradition here at Wilkes and both played integral parts in shaping Coach Rain ey's three consecutive winning seasons. Both will be missed. Also gone will be Chuck Lengle who, in his own way, has contributed to Wilkes basketball.

In fact, it's som ewhat of a status symbol, because people who read with their hands are graduates of the Evelyn Wood Course. ' The h a nd , however , h as n 't a lways been the symbol of rapid r eading. The old method of teaching students to increase their reading speed was to equip them with a r ea ding machin e. The theory was that a motorized arm on the machine would extend out over the page. Th e arm wou Id move down the page at a steady _speed. Hopefully, your eyes w ould go along fo1· the ride. The machin e, w hil e seemingl y a good idea, didn't li ve up to its expectations. It couldn't s low down when the reader ran into a confusing passage . And it was too awkwa rd to use in easy chairs or beds. In 1945, Evelyn Wood discove1·ed the hand as a device fo1· re a ding faster. H e1· 1·eason for using the hand as a too l was to "give my stude nts the a bility to read groups of words at a time and to increase their concentration so they won't h ave to go back a nd re-read so often."

BOOKSTORE! Students To Vote On Activity Fee Why The 'Y'? After talking with Dean Ralston, Mr. Hoover, and Mr. Planitzer of the YMCA concerning open house for the "Y" dormitory, we have concluded from statements of the aforementioned that the well-being of the Wilkes students living in the YMCA is being ignored. It is not sufficient to say that because of the National YMCA rules regarding women in the rooms we cannot partake in a privilege extended to the other men's dormitories. That is merely a way for the College to avoid its responsibilities to the Wilkes students at the "Y." • A digression is necessary here to clarify our point. When hopeful high school seniors visit the campus, they are escorted through various dorms, excluding the Y'MCA. Upon acceptance, a few unfortunates are assigned to the YMCA. The immediate reaction is to request transfer to another dormitory. The College pacifies these students by asking them to "wait a couple of weeks until things settle down." This is in itself an excellent solution to the problem, for the College knows that within a couple of weeks, the disillusioned student will have made many friends within the dorm, hence, he will be reluctant to transfer. The students at the YMCA are as active in College functions and activities as any other dormitory. Why then are we excluded from college privileges as well as being subjected to two different sets of regulations - the College's and the YMCA's? It's bad enough that we were coerced into living at the YMCA, now we are, in a sense, being punished for it.

The Wilkes Circle K Club, a}ong with 850 members clubs, belong to the International Circle K Club of the United States and Canada. The club provides many worthwhile services to the students, faculty and Administration at Wilkes. Its activities include: conducting tours on campus, ushering for campus affairs, directing blood drives, and conducting the elections. Off campus, the club participates in various community projects such as: Toys for Tots, running a midget football team for the children of the Heights, and working with retarded children at White Haven State Hospital. In addition, the members participate in all intramural sports - football, basketball, and baseball. Most recently, members of the club serve_d as ushers for the premiere of The Molly Maguires, an activity sponsored by the WilkesBarre Kiwanis Club, an affiliate of the Circle K Club. Presently the club has 60 members under the direction ·o f Richard Wetzel, president; Don Reese, vicepresident; Joe Grabowski, treasurer; and Hank Walters and Len Brozena, decentaries. Advisors for the club are George G. Pawlush, faculty advisor; and Samuel Davenport, Kiwanis advisor. Student Help On Marijuana Issue Is Being Sought Dr. Raymond Weinstein of the Sociology department has announced that his Research Methods class will conduct a survey of the attitudes and opinions on marijuana. His students will interview selected students on campus during the next few weeks. Marijuana was chosen as a topic because it is always in the news and the students felt it was a topic worth knowing more about. The study is designed to learn research methods as well as to understand attitudes and opm10ns about marijuana and issues such as legalization. The students conducting the survey are not concerned with the person's use or non-use of marijuana. The students selected for intewviews are urged to cooperate. The results of the survey will be made available at the end of the semes- -BulletinThe results of Wednesday's Junior and Sophomore class officers and Student Government elections are: JUNIOR CLASS President, Bob Vignoli; Vice President, John Cherundolo; Treasurer, Judy Mikulicz; Secretary, Mary Ellen Fischer.

Next Wednesday, March 11, the students will be given an opportunity to vote on the new Activities Fee proposal. The referendum will be presented to the students and then to the Administrative Council. The proposed fee for the 1970-71 academic year is $25 with a tentative breakdown of: clubs, $4,000; classes, $1,500 each; Concert and Lecture Series, $10,000; Student Government, $4,000; Homecoming Weekend, $18,000; and Spring Weekend, $18,000. With an creased allotment -from the Activities Fee, SG plans to expand and introduce new activities to the campus. Distribution of the funds is designed for campus-oriented activities. The expansion of these activities began this semester with a revamping of the Concert-Lecture Series committee. Under the direction of Joel Rome, Assistant Dean of Men, students and members of the faculty from different organizations and departments on campus are planning an itinerary for this semester and next year. Members of the committee include: Sally Donoho, from The Beacon; Terry Falstrom from the Art department, Gretchen Winfield and Diana Stinzano from the Music department, Jay Ungar and Dennis Brew from SG, Harry Davis, Dr. Richard Stevenson and Patricia Boyle from the English department. The committee plans to schedule a well-known speaker or professional music or acting company to perform at the school each month throughout the year. Tentative plans include Ralph Nader for next fall. 'Most of these speakers and groups cost in the range of $1,000 to $1,500 for an appearance. On March 16, Alex Haley, author of the "As Told To" story, The Autobiography of Malcolm X, will speak about "Black Heritage, a Saga of Black History." Also, on April 6, Dr. David Smith, medical directory of Haight-Ashbury Medical Clinic and editor of The Journal of Psychedelic Drugs, will discuss "Youth, Alienation, and the Drug Scene." Both these speakers have been selected by the new Culture Lecture Series committee and this year's Activities Fee fund facilitated their appearances. Clubs and Classes Clubs and classes also receive an allotment from the Activities Fee for campus-oriented activities. This money is used to subsidize activities by the clubs, including films, trips, and guest speakers. Classes also receive money to help sponsor functions such as the Senior Class hayride, the Junior-Senior dinnerdance, and the Sophomore Class picnic. Since all dances were spon0..T'I x g.c........±.bic_v.a~-"~_nd JJ ~t11- dents were admitted free of charge, money was made available to clubs and classes from the Activities Fee fund . The new proposal also allots $4,000 to SG. This money is intended for dances, films , and an emergency fund. The films presented this year cost in the range of $85 and up. The same type of program is scheduled for next year; again all Wilkes students will be admitted free of charge. Why Do We Need $18,000 For The Big Weekends? The Social-Events committee comprised of Dave Hoffman, Paula Gilbert, and Rick Newman found that the money allotted to this committee was not sufficient to schedule the groups and plan the programs that the students wanted to have for Homecoming and Spring Weekends. For example, the construction of the stage needed for the Homecoming concert last fall cost $750. Most of the groups that the students would like to have for these weekends cost between $10,000 and and $20,000 for an appearance. There are other things to consider, such as the financing of tickets, publicity, and the renting of chairs and a stage regardless if it is he!(! at the Kingston Armory or the Wilkes College gym. It is the feeling of this committee that the additional funds would greatly add to the quality and appeal of the groups for the students. The format of this proposal is quite similar to last year's proposal with the administration of the funds left to an Activities Fee Committee comprised of -members of the Administration and Student Governmeit. The new proposal, however, calls for a new plan that will allow the remaining money to -be left in the Activities Fee fund for the coming year. All events sponsored by the Activities Fee fund will be open to all Wilkes College students free of charge. It is felt that if the students had to pay for these events on an individual basis, the cost would be more than $25. Also in comparison with other schools, a $25 activitv in.ima �Page 2 Friday, March 6, 1970 THE BEACON Editorials Jette,-J tc tAe Cditc,CcedJ be(e1td C11rnp11i91t _ . ~A L0i\Ke:,- be\ rf~ II\-~ 1 I GIVE A [HANCE! This year has been marked by much change and controversy at Wilkes. The students, faculty, and Administration have had to make many decisions and alter many policies. Once again a decision must be made and controversies are heard . The Activities Fee proposal must be reevaluated. The new proposal calls for an increase of $15 in the present Activities Fee. This is the decision the students must make, whether to vote for or against the proposal, or whether they will vote at all. A controversy has developed concerning the need for the increased fee. It sees that the feeling on campus is that the students did not receive enough from the present Activities Fee, so, why have an increased fee, or any fee, for that matter? The proposal is indicative of the hard work put in by members of SG to meet the needs of students' activities. But, we all know that, don't we? Please take time to consider that this is the first year Wilkes has had an Activity Fee and that many technical problems had to be ironed out. Believe it or not, $24,000 is not a lot to work with when you must give $4,000 to clubs, $1,500 to each class, and $7,000 for Spring and ·Homecoming Weekends. In the meantime all students are admitted free of charge to dances, movies, lectures, and concerts. The Activities Fee is not a profit-making venture. It is simply a means to an end - the end being more activities for the students at Wilkes. A cry heard on our campus is to "give the students a chance." The Activities Fee needs a chance. But, is this easier to say than to do? Again, take time to consider the benefits of an increased fee: an expanded Concert-Lecture Series with bigname speakers and musical and acting groups; bigger concerts at Homecoming and Spring Weekends; more movies, dances and even rumors of a radio station. Maybe it is easier to ask for a chance than to give one. LET'S BE FAIR! On page one appears an open letter from the men of Wilkes who reside in the YMCA. It is obvious after reading it that those who planned dormitory visitation for the rest of the Campus forgot the "Y-guys." We can hardly blame them for that, for the Y seems far removed from Campus - as those who inhabit it can so readily testify. But now we have a crisis of sorts in determining whether the men will be treated on an equal basis with the other male dormitory residents. None of the 40 men in the YMCA requested to live there - most would move out immediately if they had the opportunity to do so without leaving behind the friends one makes when living in the same quarters. So now, despite the general unfairness of putting them in less-than-satisfactory quarters, the worst blow of all has hit the men of the Y. After working just as hard as others to see new social changes enacted, they are staggered to learn that they may not partake of the benefits . We don't know the answers to the dilemma. But we do feel that some compromise could be worked out among the Administration, the men, and those who manage the YMCA. Despite international Y rules, these men are stu dents at Wilkes College who abide by the same handbook and regulations all others do. We feel it is time to be fair.

The Theatre Development Fund has announced an offering of tickets at special rates to THE CONCEPT, presented by Mortimer Levitt and Arthur Cantor off-Broadway at the Pocket Theatre. Tickets are available to students or faculty members at a special rate of $2.50 for selected dates in March and April. "Within a couple of years, every high school and every college in the country will be inundated by heroin." This startling and sober prediction is the view of Dr. Donald H. Louria, president of the New York State Council on Drug Addiction. With this prophecy in mind, the Theatre Development Fund is offering students, teachers and other young people this special opportunity to see THE CONCEPT. THE CONCEPT was called by Walter Kerr of The New York Times "without question the most moving theatrical experience in New York." The play is created and performed by members of Daytop Village, a therapeutic community of former narcotics addicts. It is the story of one person's addiction and how he overcame it through joining Daytop. About the play, Newsweek wrote: "THE CONCEPT achieves a statement abo ut the perils and splendor ,of b eing human that most so-called plays never even hint at." Tickets to THE CONCEPT are available through the Theatre Development Fund for a six-week period beginning March 4 at- $2.50 each, well below regular 'b ox office prices. Any student or faculty member who would like to receive notice of this and other TDF offerings of worthwhile plays at special rates should write the Fund care of Palace Theatre Building, Broadway at 47th Street, New York, N.Y. 10036 or call (212) 757-1170. 'Pop' Knows When And Where As Things Start Happening Page 3 On Other Campuses by George Pagliaro have been accused of harping on the ecological dilemma we face. Well, for at least part of this column, I strike up the band once more. Ohio University's Post has dedicated one of its recent issues to "pure, unadulterated filth ." Partly a jibe at State Senator R. J. Corts who said the paper was guilty of printing "smut and pornography" and "literary garbage," the dedicaUon's main attention was to call for "a massive assault on the pollution problems facing the nation." Filthy, filthy! ! Some interesting changes have taken place at two of our nearby colleges. At Lebanon Valley College a Free University has been formed. Its first class was a "two-hour-p er-week, nocredit, no-fee course in black studies." Lasting seven weeks, it will be basically concerned with the history of Black America from 1492 to 1900. It will be followed by a second course devoted to the contemporary black movement. It is conducted by a senior pre-med major. It is really too soon to comm ent as to its worth, but one thing is certain: the program has excellent potential. Hopefully, t h e students at LVC will try to realize that potential. An eight-month study has recently been completed at the University of Scranton by a Task Force, a body composed of five administrators, five faculty members, and five students (elected at large from their respective constituencies) in addition to the student body president and the student body vicepresident in a non-voting advisory capacity. It offered the following suggestions for bettering the university: 1. Student-faculty committees to advance student involvement in departments; 2. Collection and us e of student opinion in departmental self-evaluation; 3. Collection and use of current opinion in curriculum revision; 4. Co-curricular activities which will extend academic influence beyond the classroom; 5. Collection of student suggestions for library acquisition and us e; 6. Informal "bull sessions" for faculty and students on departmental matters; 7. Social activities for faculty and students . The feeling of the Task Force is that these programs would be steps toward a more relevant and productive education at the schoul.

Somebody makes it happen." Pop, Wilkes public relations director, has been making things happen from the time he was a "Freshman Heeler" on the Daily Dartmouth, and he has not stopped. Trying to describe Pop Clewell's career briefly is nearly impossible. Perhaps we should concentrate on the high points. Graduating from Dartmouth in 1922, Pop worked rather briefly for AT&T in New York before he became a press agent for Sam. H. Harris Theatrical Productions. Intrigued by the business, h e went through a short period as an ad agency copywriter befor e h e went to Hollywood where he wrote and produced a couple of silent films. Things really began to click when Pop went to work at San Francisco's radio sta tion KHJ - the Los Angeles Times. Staying with radio profes sionally for many years, Pop worked in nearly every facet of the medium (with the exception of technical skills) . His crowning accomplishmen t in radio was when he was responsible for the coast to coas t broadcast of his own adaptation of Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol, originating from WilkesBarre [the onl y coast to coast broadcas t ever made from WilkesBarre). The broadcast was perlormed wi th his own cast and was listed several times in The New York Times preferred reading list. This was an annual feature for six years until World War II intervened, and Pop was "tapped." He has not left Wilkes-Barre [for any extended period of time) since. Pop worked for a period of time as the public relations director of the Greater Wilk~s-Barre Chamber of Commerce and its affiliated industrial funds. His main goal was to change the image of the community with the help of Dr. Sam Rosenberg and Dr. Hugo V. Mailey, something, he feels , they achieved. Finally, Pop came to Wilkes 'ColIege where he has stayed f.or approximately 10 years. He defines his theme as a public relations man as motivation. In his own words, a good public relations man "influences and creates public opinion." He is also careful to avoid producing misconceptions. A prime exampie of the caution is the fact that, during the recent demonstrations on campus, Pop was asked by a Channel 16 reporter if the college would release a statement. Replying in the affirmative, he also suggested getting a statement from the students, providing the students with an equal opportunity to speak. [This reporter was in his office at the time.) His r easons were simpie, "We have a fine bunch of students and always have." He believes it. Of course, not all Pop 's contacts here a t Wilkes have been seriuus . He recalls the time when Lady Bird Jo'hnson was supposed to address the student body at a convocation . Awaiting her arrival at Stark Hall, Pop received a phone call from one of our freshman coeds inquiring as to whether or not Lady Bird had arrived. Pop answered no which the coed countered with, "When she's ready to come over, could you have her bring some paper clips?" Certainly, there are other stories he can relate given enough time. One thing is for sure : if you want to hear about Wilkes from a re freshing perspective, see Pop Clewell, third floor, Weckesser Hall.

Specifically I'd like to congratulate him for two very fine accomplishments of lat e. First of all, after viewing The Apple Tree two weeks ago, I was prompted to go backstage and tell Bob Graham how impressed I was with his portrayal of Adam. I remember walking uut of the theater mumbling to myself how unfair it was for one person to be blessed with so much talent. Then Bob turned around this week and displayed an excellent exhibit of his photography in Conyngham Annex! Mine is not the role of art critic, but rather that of some,o ne who fundamentally knows what I like. And this I like. If I had to sum up Bob 's work in in a word, it would be "sensitive." There are those people who can see the power in little things - and this is probably the mark of creative genius. It is only recently that people have begun to accept photography as a creative art - but I defy anyone to view the work at Conyngham Annex and come away feeling unmoved by its scope. Bob has an eye for the ironic and beautiful parts of the whole combined with the ability to transfer this through his camera. One photograph shows the wide-eyed look of wonder on the face of a little Negro boy, another gives the stark beauty of the seashore (down to the broken shells in the sand], one of an old sink is so fin ely detailed that you can see the letters HOT on the faucet, and a broken window looks sharp enough to cut. He captures the beauty of "now" in a photo of a young couple in Indian garb, and someone lying on the River Commons. He captures the poignancy of "yesterday" in pictures of decadent buildings and old people. Frankly, I think Bob's efforts put those of many a professional photographer to shame. I guess the thing that impresses me is that Bob Graham is the type of student who can put out only the best for thre e and one-half ye_a rs at Wilkes - without pursuing recognition or reward. Possessing one of the finest creative minds on Campus, he can move in many directions. During his sophomore year he produced and acted in a production of The Fantasticks in the little Chase Theater. He has performed in the CPA often enough to be considered a resident - often displaying a trained voice and comfortable stage presence. In his "spare time" he has written in-depth reviews and articles for The Beacon and served as a contributing photographer to both The Beacon and Manuscript. I hop e Bob forgives me for throwing this bouquet his way when ·this column appears in print- but I assure him that it is written with deepest respect for his talents. Which is all to say - "how unfair it is for one person to be blessed with so much talent!" by Kathy Kopetchne When Conyngham Hall was destroyed by fire around Christmas of 1968, there was a need to replace the classrooms destroyed. Although the campus was constantly being expanded before the fir e, loss uf Conyngham Hall only brought the problem of additional classroom space into sharper focus. Wilkes College has become involved in a "Forward Thrust" expansion program and the newest program is an engi neering-arts building to be located on South River Street. It will be joined to Stark Hall in a U-shaped design that will include a 400-seat lecture hall in the north wing. There will be team-teaching facilities, laboratories for electrical engineering, environmental science laboratories, computer science rooms, a fine arts gallery, and many other neede d facilities. The cost of this "Forward Thrust" project is $3,000,000 . Wilkes-Barre campaign drive to raise $3 million for a new building complex held a dinner m Wednesday night at the Treadway Inn. Left to right, Atty . Joseph J . Sa general gifts chairman; Richard L. Pearsall, major gifts co-chairman, Ben Badman, Jr., Wilkes-Barre phase chairman.

The win gave Coach Ron Rainey's charges a 14-8 record and a 9-7 log in the Middle Atlantic Conference. It also enhanced the current Colonel winning streak to seven and kept -.heir unblemished record in February intact. Wednesday night's encounter at the Wilkes gym was as close as a game can be. After falling behind by a 6-1 score in the early going, Herb Kemp and Rich Davis led a Wilkes rally that put the Colonels on top 9-7 with 13 :12 left in the half, The impetus carried the Colonels to a 21-14 lead- the largest of the evening for either team. Lebanon Valley pecked away at the Colonel lead and with 1 :19 left in the half, went ahead on a bucket by Chris Line . Wally Umbach regained the lead for Wilkes on a 15footer. Terry Jones then came up with a steal and was subsequently fo uled. Terry sank both free throws and a last-second bucket by Davis gave Wilkes a 36-31 lead at the half. The Dutchmen took the secondhalf tap and proceeded to score six straight points to wrest the lead from the Oolonels at the 18:32 mark. A foul shot by Davis tied it at 3939, In the next eight minutes the score was tied or changed hands no less than 11 times. With 5 :16 showing on the clock, the score was knotted at 60-60. Rich Davis scored two straight buckets to make it 64-62. Kemp hit a jumper and sank a foul to make it 67-65. Davis then scored on one of his patented turnaround jumpers to make it 69-65. With 0:39 left on the clock, the Dutchmen called a time out. When play was resumed, they brought the ball in and shot quickly. Kemp grabbed the rebound and headed downcourt. With 0:18 left, Herb was fouled. He sank the charity toss to put Wilkes up 70-65. Lebanon Valley scored again to make it 70-67. Wilkes then inbounded to Jay Reimel. Jay was fouled with five seconds left. He sank the shots to ice the victory at 72-67. Kemp made his last game in a Colonel uniform a memorable one. The stellar senior from Glenside, Pa., led the Colonels in scoring and center for two years until sidelined with a serious leg injury last year. Bob finished the season as the team's top foul shooter. The Colonel frosh beat the Lebanon Valley jayvees to finish the season with an 8-5 record. Mark Caterson had 20 points to lead the scoring while Jim Moore was right behind with 19. Joe Gillespie -was also in doubles with 11. Mike Bachkosky led in rebounds with 13.

Wrestling observers feel the strongest teams this year are Wilkes, Elizabethtown, Lycoming and Western Maryland. The edge, however, must be given to the Colonels, who have gained the team championship eight out of the last 12 years. Gerry Willetts, 9-2-1 on the season and third-place finisher, goes at it at 167 pounds, followed by 177pounder Rich Ceccoli. Ceccoli finished the season with nine wins and is hoping to improve his thirdplace finish of a year ago.

Since guests are treated first, a sincere welcome must be given to those wrestlers who have travelled to Wilkes to participate in the 32nd annual Middle Atlantic Conference Wrestling Championships, College Division. On behalf of The Beacon, welcome to Wilkes College. The tournament promises to b e an exciting one but at this point the Colonel grapplers appear to be in the best position to capture their ninth championship in the past 12 years. Since the universities have their own to urn ey this year, there isn't a great deal blocking the path of the Reesemen . In past years, Wilkes ·has shared team honors with Temple and West Chester, so with those schools out of the way, the Colonels should be in. With the possi,ble exception of Ron Fritts, all the grapplers are ready to go . Down to 118 pounds, co-captain Andy Matviak looked real good in his last outing against Delaware Valley. John Marfia also looked sharp against the Aggies and both Andy and John should make it to the top. Tom Morris looked a bit tired last Saturday due to his one-month layoff and dropp ed weight [down to 134 pounds) but he should be ready today. Dennis Verzera is prepared to gain his by Pete Herbst second straight first-place finish for the Reesemen. Al Zeiner, who upped his own record-breaking pin total to 10 last week, has all the qualifications to take him to the top at 158 pounds. At 150 pounds, Steve Kaschenbach has accumulated a 4-2 record thus far but he has some stiff competition at his division. Gerry Willets, Rich Ceccoli, and Leo Roan all wrestled one division higher than usual last week and all looked good. The action starts this afternoon at 1 •o'clock at the gym and resumes 7:30 this evening. Good luck to all the wrestlers. Last week's final dual meet of the season against Delaware Valley upped head coach John Reese's lifetime coaching mark at 142-27-6, one of the finest marks in the country. That contest also marked these events: John Marfia gained his 19th career pin, which enabled him to break the record for most career pins s e t by Marv Antinnes and Walter Glogowski. He finish ed his career with 42 pins, 12 losses and one draw. Andy Matviak closed his collegiate career with a pin last week to end his card at 42-5. Another Colonel who ended his collegiate stint is 6'5" basketball captain Herb Kemp . Kemp ended his career with some impressive statistics: a record 1,005 rebounds and 1,286 points scored. In addition to those stats, Herb always did the job when it counted, especially on defense. When such foes as University of Scranton came to play, Herb always defended their high scoring forward and he was always up for the occasion. He did a job on_ Gene Mumford to help defeat Scranton and one on Ray Hodge in Wilkes overtime victory over Wagner. In addition, Herb captained Wilkes to its fin est season. The Raineymen finished the season with a 14-8 record which easily could have been 16-6. However, the cagers finished the season with a re cord-tying seven straight wins. Congratulations to the Raineymen and good luck for next season. Next year, all concerned with the basketball program have a lot to look forward to . Coach Rain ey loses the services of Kemp and forwardcenter Bob Ockenfuss but gains the junior varsity squad, an 8-5 finisher und er first-year coach Larry Kendig. Mark Caterson, Mike Bachkosky, Greg O'Brion, Jim Moore, Roman Shahay, and Joe Gillespie should all find places on the varsity next year in addition to those already there: Jay Reimel, Wally Umbach, Terry Jones, Billy Grick, Rich Davis, Dave Kurosky, Charles Wetzel, Bruce Breier, and Jim Hanak. The spring hasn' t ye t arrived but baseball and lacrosse already have. Under the capable instruction of coach Gene Domzalski, the pitchers and catchers have begun work-outs.

NOMJNATIONS "THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON'T THEY?" with Jane Fonda GRAHAM'S For Your School Supplies See us at our new location 106 SOUTH MAIN STREET WILKES-BARRE Phone 825-5625 In a very relaxed atmosphere of the recently constructed Delaware Valley College gymnasium, the Colonel Il},atmen very calmly went on to win their 12th and final meet of the season by soun~ defeating the Aggies, 43-2, on February 28. Today the Colonels go after their ninth MAC champ1ol!ship as the annual MAC Wrestling Tournament gets underway. The Blue and Gold grapplers gained seven pins on the way to victory as Coach [ohn Reese juggled his line-up somewhat in preparation for the tournament. Co-captains Andy Matviak and ]oill Marfia wrestled at 118 and 126 pounds, respectively. Both, however, have wrestled at those weighll previously. Tom Morris saw action after a month's layoff but heavyweight Ron Fritts aggravated an ol injury to keep him on the bench. Instead, Brian Lott wrestled at 158 pounds, followed by Al ZeJ. ne.r, Gerry Willetts, Rich Ceccoli and Leo Roan at heavyweight. Freshmen Coach Kendig Has Winning Hoop Squad At the beginning of the basketball season, first-year coach Larry Kendig was given the job of handling the all-freshman Jayvee squd, the final goal being to develop players for Coach Ron Rainey's varsity program. He did his job and the fayvees did theirs as the frosh concluded their season last week with an 8-5 record. The mainstays of Kendig's squad were guards Greg O'Brion and Jim "Junior" Moore. Both are deadly shooters - Greg from outside while Junior is accurate from anywhere on the court. Greg usually controls the offense for the frosh, while Moore is probably one of the strongest guards available . In addition to being a fine ballhandler, Junior rebounds with the best of them. Manning the corners were Roman Shahay and Montrose product Mark Caterson. Caterson se ems to be destined for some fin e years as a Colonel, in the opinion of coach Kendig. "Mark can do just about whatever he wants to do on the court. He's a pretty dependable player." "Dependable" is a good description, for Mark plays both ends of the court as he consistently scores in double figures and makes his presence felt underneath. In both high school and college, Shahay has b ee n known as the finest defensive player on the court. At 6'4" , freshman center Mike Bachkosky is already bein g tabbed to replace sen ior and graduating captain Herb Kemp. And rightly so, as Mike combines fine moves and an unusual leaping abiilty which provided Kendig and the team with a sound offense and defense under the boards. A very important sixth man for the team was s econd semester Colonel Joe Gillespie . "Joe was pretty important," commented Kendig, "since he was able to get in and sub for either of the guards without us losing anything on offense." But next season means an entirely new team for the coach as some of the Jayvees will be on the varsity. "I think every starter on the squad could make varsity n ext year. But I'll tell you this - they'll give those guys a good fight." Continuing, Coach Kendig said, " I was pleas ed with the season. We got off to a slow start but came around after semester break. Th e boys played good, basic basketball. But more importantly, they played as a unit ail the time. Yes, I was pleased." Coach Rainey must have been pleased, too. He has a lot to look forward to next season thanks to Coach Kendig and his 8-5 junior va rsity squad . Marchant Wins Twice As Mermen Drop Finale The Colonel mermen have only next season to look forward to as they ended another dismal season last Saturday at the hands of Elizabethtown. Their 70-24 loss ended their season with but one win to seven losses. Co-captain Owen Lavery concluded his career with a second and third in the 200-yard breaststroke and individual medl eys and a school record to his credit. Looking forward to next season, Coach Bob Corba can build his team around Rich Marchant, one of the team's most dependable swimmers all season. Marchant scored a double win on Saturday with victories in the 50- and 100-yard free style . E-town began the meet by winning the 400-yard medley relay and then sweeping first place in seven of the nine events.

The Faculty got things rolling on February 23 with a 66-50 pasting of Colonels. The half-time score read 39-20 but a determined Colonels squad closed the gap to 45-40 midway through the third period. Going got tight at this point as "playmaker-athletic director" Tohn Reese protested a little too spiritedly which resulted in a technical foul called by this reporter, a ref at the time. Toe!

This service, condu cted at the Jewish Community ·Center and the Temple B'nai B'rith, consists of the taping o·f . textbooks and outside reading. A Message: to BusJness, Cornmeree and Liberal Arts Graduates ... There are, at the moment, six Wilkes students who participate in this program. After the tapes are used by the students, they are placed in the library. There they can be utilized by anyone who needs them. The students can be read to at the Jewish Community Center or in their dormitories between classes and in the evening. Each student receives a tape recorder when he arrives at Wilkes. The machine is delivered and serviced by the members of the Council and remains with the student until graduation. Chairman of the Reader Service for the Blind is Mrs. Sophie Hyman. Chairman for the taping program is Mrs . Ruth Hefter, assisted by Mrs. Sandy Shrager. Mrs. Nada Vujica, head librarian at Wilkes, works closely with the group. There are about 120 books which have been recorded. Before books were taped, phonograph discs were made through the cooperation of the Association for the Blind and the Red Cross. Council members recorded many books, but this method was found inadequate and was replaced by tape recordings. When a book, such as one in foreign languages can't be taped or read, it is done in Braille. Many of the taped books needed are ordered through Williams College, the Recorded Book Society, and the Library Congress. Taft Led 48 States The United States was made up of 48 states from the admission of Arizona in 1912 to the admission of Alaska in 1959. The first president of 48 states was William Howard Taft.

As most Pennsylvania* residents mow, the future of this program las never been certain; and this rear, we saw what could happen to iny program when it becomes a iolitical football. In July, 1969, the General Assemlly, which is responsible for approiriating funds for the scholarships, iassed a "resolution of intent" to l!ake funds available. On the 1trength of this resolution, the Pennsylvania Higher Education As1istanc e Agency made awards totalmg nearly $54 million to nearly 87,000 Pennsylvania residents. When these students began classes in September, they pre1ented their scholarship notification letters to the colleges. The letters oore an ominous condition: "This award is contingent upon appropriation of funds ·by the General Assembly." Nevertheless, colleges, in good faith, accepted the letters in lieu of cash and allowed these stufonts to register for the fall term. What the colleges did not know was that it would be another five months before any ,money would be received from the State . As the semester progressed and no funds were forthcoming, the colleges and universities outside Pennsylvania began to press students for funds. In fact, 11 colleges issued the ultimatum to the PHEAA scholarship holders that unless their bills were paid, they would not be permitted to take final examinations. Most institutions within Pennsylvania were willing to extend credit lo their students until the Legisla- ture funded the program. Normally, the State would have made payment to the schools around -October 1. However, since payments were delayed until late January, the inaction of the General Assembly has caused additional financial hardships at most colleges. Here at Wilkes, over 1,000 students were awarded State grants in excess of $840,000. Half of this amount, or about $420,000 should have been received in the fall semester. If received as normal, these funds could be deposited or invested, producing additional income with which to meet the operating expenses of the College. Like any homeowner or business, the College has bills for maintenance, heat, water, electricity, salaries , and so on. Trying to meet these obligations on one hand, while extending $420,000 credit to s tu den ts on the other hand, required the delicate and expert handling by Mr. Alex Pawlenak, Comptroller of the College . In dollars and cents, the cost to Wilkes as a result of extending credit to these students is already some $30,000 to $32,000. This money, which would ordinarily be us11d for educational services, is being wasted this year on debt service, from which no benefit is derived. February 15, five months to the day after classes began for the fall semester, Wilkes received payment from the State for its grant awards for the first term. Since we are now in the second term, the College is still financing the grants that have been approved by the State, and again, this is an expensive obligation for the College. Dr. Moses Views Registration: Present System Best For Wilkes by Roy P. Hollabaugh Regis tration is a turmoil almost every student encounters twice a year. It seems there is a lot to be desired in our present registration system - but, from the Administration's point fa view, it is the best possible method for the faculty and students of Wilkes College . Dr. B. Hopkins Moses, head of the Registration Department, painted out that the present system is in existence primarily to accommodate faculty members and students who could not adjust their hours to meet rigid schedules. Many of the faculty members are attending graduate classes and they need certain hours of teaching to facilitate the time needed to attend these classes. This aspect is taken into account when the list of classes, and their times, is printed. Also on this lin e is the student who works, or the student who commutes. Our present system (supposedly) affords them the opportunity of scheduling classes to fit their working and commuting. The flexibility in our system is there to provide the students these opportunities which would not be available in other systems. Another reason Dr. Moses gave for the use of the present registration sys tern lies in the lack of adequate classroom space. With the burning of Conyngham, the r e was a bind for available classroom space, and at the present time a moreregimented registration system would have only added to th e chaos. Two other systems of registration were looked at and discussed. The first was Bloomsurg State College's which is advanced registratio n (registering the previous semester) . It was concluded that this (Continued on Page 8) Students Explore Experimental Theatre: Selecting, Casting, and Directing Plays An insane asylum, a workhouse ward and an empty stage will set the scenes for three student-directed one-acts to be presented in the CPA March fifth through eighth. Each play has been selected, cast and rehearsed by a student director. This venture into experimental theatre enables students to gain experience in directing shows and gives opportunity for those involved to learn to carry out directions and suggestions. Opening the triple-billing is the short play "Workhouse Ward" by Lady Gregory, directed by Dennis English. The plot is based on two men's hidden friendship. Both old men have been placed in a workhouse in Ireland. Though they seemingly hate each other, their fights really cover a strong bond. This invisible bond of friendship is tested when one of the men's sister appears and reveals that she plans to take her brother out of the ward. The cast, though small, is consistently strong. Debby Chandler plays Mrs . Donohue, the country sister, while Elliot Rasenbaum and Joe Vojtko portray the Irish paupers, Michael Miskell and Mike McInern_ey. Bob Hartzel directs the second show, "Impromtu" by Tad Mosel. The four characters involved are placed on an empty stage and are forced to improvise a play by an unseen stage manager. Their contrasting personalities prove to invent and dissolve familiar problems. The members of the cast are Winifred, Molly Jaciewicz; Laura, Eileen · Rex; Earnest, Bob Sampson ; Tony, Al Adolfsen. The last play, "Chamber Music" by Arthur Kopit, takes place in an insane asylum. · Directed by Miss Rita Singer, the structu:raly complex one-act deals with the decisions and problems of Seated (left t o right) : M olly Jackiewicz, Ei le en R ex.

'· Voter Responsibility Student elections for the Sophomore and Junior classes will take place this Wednesday, March 4. For a change, let 's approach the elections from a different angle. Why do we have elections? Why do certain people run for office? And, why do so few people vote? The reasons for elections are supposed to be to elect students to take take on the responsibility for leading other students, meeting students' needs, communicating to the Administration, and above all, being fair to all. This is the intention, the inactment is up to the students elected. The reasons for which people run for office are esoteric. Many people feel someone seeks a position for prestige or social distinction. Others feel people run because no one else wants the job. Still others think the person is genuinely sincere. The reasons for elections 9re easily sons why people run are not as easily swers may be found. But, the reasons vote are difficult to answer. Is it mere venience, or underlying reasons? answered; the reaanswered but, anwhy people fail to disinterest, incon- ~-,. _ I can not see why so many students are dissatisfied with the state of our newspaper. The past issue (February 13) co vered a variety of stories including national and campus issues, spo rts and events upcoming in the community. If the students are so dissatisfied with the condition of this newspaper there is no reason for them sitting on th eir posteriors and just complaining. If the articles are so poorly written why can't these complainers write the articles themselves? The Beacon has constantly asked for people to help or write articles, but the students seem to be co ntent with criticizing the ones written. Personally I can't see why there is such a big scream over Miss Klaproth's column. After a week of lectures seriously dealing with the world, it is refreshing to see someone with a brighter side of the world. Keep up the fantastic articles Miss Klaproth - - I'm sure there are many other students who enjoy them. Wake up fellow students; ·be less easy to just criticize and do nothing but be more willing to criticize and come up with useful and helpful suggestions. Sincerely, Richard Sunday c~ r It is time to shed the high school facade of voting on a popularity basis and consider the issues and ·the affairs of the college, Before you decide to vote, or not to vote, think about who has been consistently active in things, and who is sincere. Think about what you want and don't want, who whom want and whom you don't want. The nominations have been made and the voter responsibility is now yours . Manr:hild In A Polluted Land There have been whispers on our Campus to the effect that an ecology movement is underway. It is now time for the whispers to become louder - for under the direction of Jack Blannett, students are now banding together to fight pollution. Obviously, there are few who would be against such a project, but the important thing is for people to be for it sincerely enough to do something about it. All talk and no action means the death of a noble undertaking like this. Every person on earth should share equal concern for this problem - but especially students who are educated to understand the problems of pollution. It can never be enough to sit and nod vacantly to our biology and earth science profs - as if the problems were something far removed from us. The problem is here and now - and a walk beside the "lovely" Susquehanna River or along a culm bank left by a coal company shows us that the Valley environment is one in direst need. Blannett is currently organizing an eco-activist group, with an eye to bringing everything into focus April 22 National Ecology Day. He speaks of showing films, organizing a parade, arranging for speakers - with the help of his fellow students. If you really care - now is the time to do something about it. Of all student causes, this may someday prove the most pressing of all - for it would be to no avail to achieve peace and brotherhood only to die in our soot-covered cities, choked rivers and blackened air. ·Ac /I~(" ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ( r"' ·,.___f'~ ~~ \_J ~ - - -~ ----- - ANNOUNCEMENT THE BEACON hat it ly wan to mo selves a little WILKES CoLLEGE STUDENT UNION BUILDING.

Politics has, as its immediate rewards: recognition, a "break" on a close grade, and a darned good boost toward that annual ultimate "Who's Who." As its farreaching benefits, it is something to drop casually at the country club in years to come and a respectable addenda to one's graduate record. What some young candidates fail to realize is that politics is a perpetual affair which requires undivided concentration. If you commit yourself, you must fill the role at meetings, meals, or even studying for a big test. Please note also that all successful college politicians have respectable grades - a virtual must. The election is the fi;st real step after the big decision. A prospective "wheel" seldom has much trouble being elected if he can afford more posters than his opponents. Colorful printed posters are usually undefeatable. Remembering that 70 per cent of a school or class never reads posters, much less votes, these gems of sincere, straightforward dedication, must be directed to his possible following of 30 per cent. This is done by using reds and blues on white background. Three-inch block letters of the name and, preceding that, the word "vote." Integrity, sincerity, and even not a questionable experience, can't miss, What it all boils down to is that nobody really wants the job and it is the candidate's task to motivate a handful of students to drag themselves to the polls and struggle an "X" into a little box. Once elected, you've made the grade. The only real requirement is that you must attend air meetings. However, several little knacks will prove-one a faultless student ruler. The first is to learn as much about the private lives of everyone else, without letting on a thing about yourself or that you have enough on them to send them up the river. A truly dedicated "proposal voter" would never miss any · meeting of any kind short of spinal meningitis, the flu , and a broken leg. Remember, never, but never, miss any meetings of any sort - and always seem anxious to attend. The next hint is very important. Never, never, never commit yourself on any topic whatsoever, no matter what. Never speak against any person's actions, no matter how evil (he may be a vote next year). And above all, if and when you must say something or anything, say it in the broadest generalities possible. Don't let anyone nail you down, even on the weather. (Continued on Page 8) by Frank Mccourt When at 11 :45 a.m. on February 12, Dr. Farley read a statement before a joint meeting of IDC and Student Government, stating that there would be no need for a change in the present men's housing parietals, we had been in several ways, insulted. We asked politely and patiently for a tiny piece of something and even that was denied . This was difficult to grasp and once grasped impossible to accept. We gathered in the gym to await an Administration explanation for the rejection. None came. Dean Ralston appeared to answer questions but was unable to speak on behalf of the Administrative Council. The students were eventually preempted by basketball practice and moved to the center lounge of the New Men's Dorm. There, persons that had nothing to do with open housing and who knew little about what had happened in the last six months (or 34 years) tried to explain things to the students. Most of the raps were a series of fallacious ego trips. In any case, they gave everybody something to do. Eventually, Drew Gubanich, non-splat president of IDC, said that on an objective basis we were met halfway, but that subjectively or in terms of student needs, open housing far outweighed the other two proposals. Bill Kaye returned from a meeting with Dr. Farley and explained that the President felt the proposal had been misunderstood; that open housing was not a dead issue; that it was only defeated due to lack of an adequate system of governance. Bill announced that Dr. Farley said that the Administrative Council was still willing to consider a more concrete proposal. SG and me h eld several joint meetings. In the midst ·of illimi-table pedantic insanity, there was dead seriou sness. It was decided to cast a concrete-footed proposal that would be too stolid to refute on any basis other than personal wh im. Every Administrative query was anticipated and rebutted. It was then determined how they would refute our rebuttals and the procedure repeated. With every point, antipoint and synthesis, we got closer to the human element of the issue. Delegates were selected to try to explain student feelings to the members of the Administrative Council. It was decided th at a curfew violation would create a hassle better left uncreated and that the lounge must be cleared for the sake of both the students and open housing. We needed no m a r tyrs at this point nor did we need to doublecross the Council of Deans who had supported (Continued on Page 8) Once again Wilkes College will experience the loss of a fine faculty member.

Both plays, "The Man of Destiny" by George Bernard Shaw and "The Diary of Adam and Eve" , by Harnick and Bock, were brilliant, original comedies and the directors should be commended in their choice. The humorous side of Napoleon's rise to power was represented in the first play, Shaw's "Man of Destiny." Napoleon's proud, mast ermind image is dismantled by Shaw with his introduction of the "strange lady," who intervenes on behalf of Bonaparte 's wife to intercept amorous correspondences . Unfortunately , the parlay between the Emperor and his female visitor was not p erform e d with as much effective wit as Shaw had intended. Although Mike Gallagher has demonstrated his acting ability in th e past, he failed to capture the egotistical, insane nature of the French dictator. His sporadic figidity characterized Napoleon's outward app e arance, but many of the lines were lost in Mike's approach of hysteria to his madness when Shaw's picture of Napoleon was one of cool insanit y. Mary Morris's portrayal of the strange lady was also not as well explored as th e part permitted .

Page 5 After a disappointing 25-10 loss to East Stroudsburg Wednesday ~eb. 18), the Colonel matmen came right back to gain their 11th win of the season via a 39-2 lopsided win over Ithaca. Al "Snake" Zeiner, who scored the only pin for Wilkes against Stroudsburg, gained his ninth pin of 1969-70 to break the school record for most pins in a season, previously held by teammate and cocaptain Andy Matviak. Matviak's recrod, set in the 1967-68 season, was eight pins. The Ithaca win was an important one for the Colonels since they nave one dual meet remaining befor the MAC Wrestling Tournament. Coach John Reese.,.remarked, "All the boys wrestled well even though we moved them up a weight class for conditioning." The Reesemen travel to Delaware Valley tomorrow afternoon for their final meet of the season. On February 18, the Blue and Gold grapplers traveled to East Stroudsburg, hoping for an encore performance against Stroudsburg. The Warriors only had revenge in mind from the 22-8 pounding they received -from Wilkes last season. The meet began in Wilkes' favor, however, as freshman Jay McGinley captured a 5-0 decision from Rany Manmiller at 118 pounds . But then the roof caved in for the Colonels. At 126 pounds, Matviak dropped a 5-2 decision to George Chimonik. Co-captain John Marfia then took to rhe mat to try to stem Stroud's building momentum. But the Easton senior couldn't put his opponent away after scoring a predicament in the second period and Kemble Matter went on to take a 5-3 de cision. With Matviak and Marfia out of the way, the Warriors couldn' t be stopped. "It's tough to win," explained Coach Reese, "when both Andy and John lose consecutively." With the Colonels losing by a 6-3 margin, 142-pounder Dennis Verzera opposed Dan Rossi to try to get the Wilkesmen back in the meet. However, Rossi scored two takedowns in the final period after Verze ra had accumulated three points in the same period. Verzera trie d desperately for one last escape but couldn't get it as Rossi went on to win, 4-3. At 150 pounds, Steve Kaschenbach go t off to a quick start in the first period but dropped a 6-2 decision to undefeated Tom Huber. Al Zeiner made a tremendous effort to stop the Warriors by pinning BiU Laukenbaugh in the second period of the 158-pound bout. This pin tied Zeine r with Matviak for most pins in a s eason, a record he was to break the following match. Gerry Willetts, wrestling at 167 pounds, had a chance to bring th e Reese men back into contention, as the Colonels were down, 12-8. But it just wasn't his or the team's night as Willetts was taken down and reversed twice in th e final round to lose a 7-3 decision. Freshman Ed Rupard followed with a 6-0 loss to Chris Greening and Leo Roan wrestled to a 1-1 draw with Bob Gemmel to close the scoring. Final score: Wilkes 10, East Stroudsburg 25 . L!lst Saturday was a totally differe nt story for the Reesemen as they decisively defeated Ithaca College, 39-2. The opening bout saw McGinley again start Wilkes off on the right foot by pinning Don Orlosky with 1:29 remaining in the second period. Matviak followed with a 9-1 victory over Bill Jones. Matviak was in control all the way as he scored two takedowns and riding time. He currently has nine wins and two losses. Wrestling at 134 pounds and with Wilkes ahead, Marfia gained a win via a forfeit.

Once the wrestlers get by Delaware Valley tomorrow afternoon, the next step for the matmen is the MAC Wrestling Tournament on March 6 and 7 to be hosted by Wilkes. The tourney promises to ,be an exciting one. I don't think I'm putting myself on a limb by predicting a Colonel championship. The fact that universities will not be wrestling this time around will make the Reesemen's job that much easier. Last year, Wilkes and the ·universities suc'h as West Chester State shared the majority of the individual championships. One guy who is definitely ready for the tournament is 177-pounder Rich Ceccoli. "I'm just about through with the chest cold I've had for a while, and I'm ready to go all the way this year." Last year Ceccoli finished in third place. Judging .from his opponents' reactions, Ric'h must be suffering from bad breath or some such related ailment since many people who wrestle Rich find it hard to stay on the mat with him.

Tickets can be bought for all four But I was reassured that with Jay Reimel the Colonels 'had one of the rounds for the special price of finest defensive guards in the conference. And sure enough, the exciting defensive 'hawk came up with the big steal to get two points and put Wilkes ahead for good. It is interesting to note that about semester break time the Raineymen were wallowing around .500 ball. But since then they have gone on an 8-2 tear and it was at this time Bill Crick joinded the club. While 'he has seen limited action, Crick is a vital man to have who can come off the bench to ignite the team, which he does often, plus contributing some points. Another player who is important to the team's playing is sub Terry Jones. Jones is used primarily as a su bstitute for Reimel when the team needs some scoring. He has come a long way since the beginning of the season and is now quite confident and cool on the court. Another group of players who have steadily progressed is the Jayvee squad . Under the tutelage of coach Larry Kendig, the all-freshmen team has run to a 7-5 record. Led by center Mike Bachkosky and Mark Caterson, the Jayvees are helping Kendig's promise to produce a winning team - a team with players for the future. * * * * * Former Boston Celtic star Bill Russell on the draft: "There should be three requirements for the draft: no one wo uld be drafted until he's 40 ; no one would be drafted who makes less than $15,000; and if you're running for political office, you're 1-A.

Midway thro ugh the second period, Matley was suddenly on his back and the ref just as suddenly slapped his hand on the mat, signalling a pin. However, the match was an exhibition since Methmeny was unable to make weight. Verzera lifted his seasonal mark to 8-1 via an 8-0 decision over Tom Hochfelder. Using a variety of moves, Verzera almost clamped him in the final period. At 158 pounds, Steve Kaschenbach made th e score 24-0 Wilkes, with a lopsided 12-3 decision. To the fans and the team, Kasenbach had his man pinned but the ref didn't think so. But "Snake" Zeiner made sure the ref wouldn't miss his recordbreaking pin as Ron Meisner took to th e mat with 1 :36 remaining in the second period. Gerry Willetts wrestled to a 2-2 draw to bring his seasonal mark to 8-2-1 and was followed by Rich Ceccoli's 9-0 decision over Henry Keebler in a match which Ceccoli had to drag his opponent back on to the mat.

It offers the student fundamental skills in a field of study so that he might apply them in a working situation later in life. It offers cultural working benefits to enlighten the student about some of the "finer" attdbutes life after college will have . It offers a slightly protective, slightly artificial pause between the time one graduates from high school and the time one is tossed into the more harsh "workaday world." All these things cited, probably the greatest service a college offers is the promotion of a sense of rationality, a sense of understanding, understanding through facts, not prejudices. More and more , colleges are realizing that this should be their prime concern, and they are acting favorably in this regard. "The University of Wisconsin has joined Harvard among the first schools to develop a major in AfroAmerican studies." Letters and Science Dean Stepheen Kleene has initiated the program with a "model" curriculum but this curriculum may be doctor ed by the department as needs demand. General requirements for the major are 30-40 credits of Afro-American studies, "with at least one course in each of the areas of concentration (history, culture and literature, and society). The student would n eed at least 15 cre dits in one of the areas and at least 15 in advanced courses." There is an expecte d enrollment of between 1,200 and 1,500 the first Politics Prove To Be Important year. Perhaps these will be people who will be more able to understand, rather than ridicule, their (Continued from Page 3) fellow man. Of course, specific major fields is not the sole way colleges are making themselves meet the new demands. A "Climate of learning " study conducted in the spring of 1968 by a team of researchers headed by Dr. Robert T. Blackburn of the Center for the Study of Higher Education at the University of Michigan has resulted in Findlay College in Findlay, Ohio, inaugurating an entirely new and redesigned Hberal arts curriculum. "The intention of the change is to provide an awareness of self, others, and the environment; understanding of various approaches to knowledge; and the ability to choose values." Courses in the new curriculum will include those with descriptions such as Self-awareness and .Selfexpression, Self-understanding in the Humanities and 'F ine Arts, and Critical Analysis of Values in Contemporary Society. The theory seems to be that by understanding yourself you will be better equipped to relate to others. The willingness of schools to change with regard to the times reflects the importance of understanding on a mass scale. The intention of these changes on the mass scale is to increase the amount of understanding on the personal, manto-man level. Hopefully, it will work, but to use the word one of our coaches coined, yougottawanna. Letters to the Editors (Continued from Page 2) of the "Y." We understand it is against YMCA International rules to allow females in the living quarters, but it has been done on past occasions (i.e., homecoming weekend). We request a temporary visitation for the remainder of the semester without establishing a precedent. Next year, if the "Y" must be used as a dorm, let it be so on a choice basis and therefore visitation will not be necessary. If girls are found in our rooms, we were Viewpoint told we will be first ousted by the "Y" and punished by suspension by the school because we broke a school rule. WHY? WHY? WHY? We are Wilkes students, why are we governed by a double standard and punished in a double manner? GADFLY Smiling as tho ugh were a content, beneficial, cosmic healer puts your subjects at ease as you whisk busily off to class or a meeting. The problem arises of whom to influence and how to do it. "How to" is occasionally handled rather aptly by editorial in many a campus newspaper ; so "whom " is really the question here . There ate three different groups who must be befriended at virtually any cost. They are certain students, all faculty, and mmebers of the Administration, with whom the aspirant must keep in perpetual touch. The huge foot-ball player is handy to know at the door of a dance when some students from another school try burst past. It's a vote next spring when you know a prof who can help a "friend" of yours . Never underestimate what the Administration can do for you: a parking sticker, inside tips on where a garage might be found, a small job when cash is needed, homecooked suppers, certain sections in . a class through early registration, and maybe meeting a Miss World contestant. Remember, a good college politican always knows faculty, Administration and carefully chooses friends from his peer group. College ain't what you know but who you know. Couple all these suggestions together and you will win election after election, make "Who 's Who," rate a backslap from your college president, be known among students (for many things), maybe escort a Homecoming Queen, and other untold benefits. Remember, smile, because it is all worth the price you 'll pay. McCOURT open housing. Drew explained that we had done nothing illegal and if we did it would be a point for the Administration. They didn't have any and Drew was about to give them any. Civil Disobedience was in. On Friday morning, a meeting was held with SG, IDC, Dean Ralston and Dr. Farley. The an swers to seven questions and their clarifications were received. It is a three-page list that adds up to the 14th and 15th letters of the alphabet. At about 1 p.m . this list was read to the students by Dan Kopen. He defended them admirably. I mean he didn't laugh too much. He If there is no possible solution in sight, we strongly suggest and request a type of co mpensation which we so justly deserve. (Continued from Page 11 The Men of the YMCA system was inadequate because there was little or no choice in determining class hours and professors . The other type suggested was the write-in system employed by King 's College; this type was also termed inadequate because of the regimentation of students and faculty, and the lack of choice offered.

Drew wasn't about to go splat. "I think we should stay," he said. Friday afternoon, I went to see Dr. Farley. He seemed to be both adamant and open. Dr. Farley explained to me that the president is only the most powerful person if the pyramid atop which he sits supports him. He told me that lack of adherence to social standards often results in moral decadence (Toynbee). He said he had seen this happen at other schools. I asked why and was told that we lacked the experience to cope with the world. Who is old enough to have learned from experience? I asked what action would be taken if any rules were broken by the students, and was informed that any violations would be handled under the provisions of Dissent and Due Process. The impression with which I left was that the veracity of the often-quoted statement, "Dr. Farley built Wilkes College," is beyond both question and criticism. It would follow that Dr. Farley would ·b e against anything that he felt endangered his college. Saturday Morning the girls (women students] returned. Some of the guys were mad about being awakened, which is also beyond comment. Apathy, selfishness and the heck with it had started to set in. Psychology bowed to physiology. I told 'Dan Kopen that we were having trouble getting the maids to support the demonstration and he said not to worry about it, that he would issue a memo. I also told him, that because of his involvement, he is going to be a hard-core unemployable for the rest of his life. Most all of the credit for achieving open housing goes not to the outside agitators, but rather to the inside agitators; Bill Kaye who wrote the proposal and the rest of the student leaders who supported it. So now we have open housing 12% of the hours of the week. The only major compromise was that the door must remain unlocked, in return for which we have open housing on a weekly basis rather than semi-weekly. What are you going to do?

Attendance at activities funded through the activities fee fund will be restricted to Wilkes College students, their dates, and invited guests of Student Government. An admissions fee may ·be charged to all persons in attendance who are not Wilkes College students. A new clause has been added to this Activities Fee proposal concerning debts and profits which may be incurred. All profits will be held in abeyance for the forthcoming year and all debts will be paid with monies allocated to the Student Government from a subsequent Activities Fee. This activities fee fund is not intended to cover events to which Wilkes College students have been traditionally admitted free, such as sports events, fine arts productions, recitals, etc. A student body vote will be conducted on February 24 in the Commns and the lobby of the New Men's Dorm. Tutor Program Effective By March 1st. In Dire Need Of Vo IUn tee rs Pupils in the first through 12th grades, 90% from low income families, await Wilkes College students in 15 YWCA tutorial centers. Volunteer tutors put education on a personal rather than an institutional basis. The subject acquires importance as it is meaningfully related to the tutored. Students learn when they see value in what is being taught them. ·Pupils need help in all basic subjects. The mathematics and science tutor shortage is critical. English, Latin, history, geography, reading, business subjects and language tutors are needed in the majority of centers. The county-wide pupil needs are mushrooming because of referral by both parochial and public school personnel. The tutorial program is made possible by funding until June 30 by the Commission on Economic Opportunity of Luzerne County by an CEO grant. Mrs. Edward R. Janjigian, coordinator, invites . you to check the list of centers and volunteer for the one most convenient. Volunteers may clip the coupon and give it to Ina Brown, head of Wilkes Tutoring Committee, or Larry Wallison on campus; leave it at the YM-YWCA switchboard; or come in to the tutoring office. Please call Tutoring office, 823-0181. Do not call centers. WILKES MEN & WOMEN! Do YOU have one hour to share? Hudson Community Center, Monday, Tuesday ·or Thursday, 6-8 p.m. Many tutors needed.

It was suggested to the Summer School 'Department that each of the two sessions be shortened to five weeks. It is feared, however, that a professor may not be able t-o complete a full course in that amount of time. It may also 'be too difficult for a student to cram a semester of study into five weeks, especially those who are entering Wilkes this summer and have never had a taste of college-level courses. Registration day for summer school has not been decided as yet, but tuition will remain the same $50 a credit. Physiological Psychology 203 will be new on the summer curriculum, as well as Environmental Science 101 and 102. (Continued Qn Page 8) F~,'~"~~:n~f:m~~~.~~~!~~~! stration came Saturday afternoon when the Administrative Council passed the principle of dormitory visitation, and gave SG and IDC the go-ahead for institution of the program by March 1, 1970. The proposal specifies that the responsibility for the governance will rest with the members of the individual male dormitories. The proposal also calls for visitati'on privileges to the male dormitories every weekend during the regularly scheduled spring and fall terms with the exception of vacations and summer re cess. The subject of acceptance or rejection by residents of individual male dormitories will take place in the first week of each semester to learn whether or not dormitory visitation will take place in each dormitory. Prior to June 1 -of each year, the entire program will be reviewed by IDC, SG and the Administrative Council, at which time suggeS tions for improving th e policies will 'be made. The status of the other two proposals pending before the Administrative Council was reported to the students last Thursday. Off-campus living was accepted by the Administrative Council and will be referred to the Board of Trustees for a final vote. The nocurfew proposal was accepted in part by the Council. Junior and seniors girls under 21 with parental permission and girls 21 will be exempt from curfews. The original proposal also included sophomore girls and second-semester freshmen. The proposal will be brought before the Board of Trustees on March 20 with the off-campus living proposal. The off-campus living proposal which was submitted by IDC ineludes the following: male and female dormitory students who have attained the age of 21 will be permitted to live off-campus without parental permission, and that all juniors and seniors who have not attained the age of 21 will be permitted to live off-campus with parental consent. The demonstrations began Thursday immediately after the students were informed of the decision made by the Administrative Council. Drew Gubanich, Dan Kopen and Dean George F. Ralston met the students at the gym to answer questions. When the reasons could not be given for the rejection of the dormitory visitation proposal the students decided to peacefully demonstrate until reasons would be given. At 4:30 p.m. Thursday, the group moved to the lounges of the New Men's Dorm to discuss and plan what action would ·b e taken. At a joint SG-IDC meeting held at 7 p.m. Thursday seven questions were formed to ask the Administrative Council concerning dormitory visitation. These questions were then presented to the students for approval. In the meantime, the Council of Deans and Dr. Eugene S. Farley had agreed to meet Friday morning to answer these questions. It was disclosed that the dormitory visitation proposal had been rejected -b ecause there was not adequate governance. It also is of note-worthy importance to mention that members of the faculty and the Deans were present Thursday and Friday night. At 3 p.m. Friday, SG and IDC met again to rewrite the dormitory visitation proposal. This was presented to the students late Friday evening. Also · at 7 p.m. Friday the presidents of male dormitories met to discuss plans for governance. Late Friday night, the students decided that they would continue their demonstration to prove that they were a unified body and that they should show their support for the proposal. So that the demonstration would continue peacefully and within all the rules all the girl dormitory students left the dorm around 2 a.m. to sign out of their respective dorms and then spent the night at the Hampton House dormitory. The girls then left Hampton House at 5 a.m. to return to the outer lobby of the New Men's Dorm to continue their demonstration. At 9 a.m. Saturday, SG, IDC, and the presidents of all dormitories presented the new proposal to th e Administrative Council. The Administrative Council then met immediately and in the early afternoon a decision was reached. �Page 2 Friday, February 20, 1970 THE BEACON Editorial Letters To The Editor Ka~e CcrnrnendJ ~tudentJ WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED? It seems that this is not the time to be ashamed but, rather, a time to sit back and reflect upon the last week and learn, and give credit where credit is due . If anything, Wilkes College should be proud of itself and its actions, not embarrassed or humiliated. In the past, our campus has been a victim of communication and credibility gaps, and a general lack of interest ,in the affairs of the College. This situation is exactly what the students tried to correct. Their demonstration was not disorderly or without purpose. It was a coming together of students to learn reasons, to understand, and to show their strength in their pri nci pies. Perhaps the shame should not be with the students entirely, but for the conditions that caused the problem. Many people should learn to treat others as humans and give them the understanding that they expect themselves. Perhaps it should also be remembered that people do not like to be talked "at" but rather "to." And, perhaps people should learn the distinction between "listening" and "hearing," and "understanding" and "tolerating." We attend an institution where free thinking should be encouraged and adopted as a policy. Not condemned or subdued. Where understanding and communication should become a way of life, not to be saved for special occasions like last week. It is enlightening to think that students were willing to sit together and contribute the workings of their minds with constructive ideas, and programs for change . As far as giving credit where credit is due, a few things should be remembered and a few questions asked. It has been said that the proposal was passed because the channels were open. Let us not underestimate the effect of students who persistently waited for the answers to the questions and remained unified for dormitory visitation. On the other hand , why must these students underestimate the student leaders who worked for months on the proposals? Why do many students feel they are the only reason that the proposal was passed? Why do they fail to understand the touchy predicament that the student leaders were in? Did they ever consider that dormitory visitation did not take just two days but many months? If Wilkes College cannot acknowledge the peaceful wishes of the students or credit them with the reason for the demonstrations and admit the success of the students .. . And if people do not soon realize that other people should be understood and talked "to" and not "at" .. And if people do not acknowledge the hard work of others instead of taking all credit for themselves .. . Then nothing has been gained and nothing has been learned . 1 l\~) f ( ) ) ( ( l j --c:,-._;..--:?'.

Wilkes Student Teachers Assigned by David Kopelchny Most people have heard of the Iron Curtain, many have heard of the Bamboo Curtain, but only a few are consciously aware of the Taboo Curtain. The "Taboo Curtain" is maintained neither by law nor a military force . It is subtle, but its rule is inviolate. It is the iron hand in the velvet glove - the thorn beneath the rose . It is the same today as it was in the times of Socrates and Jesus - the eternal enemy of the pioneer. Safe behind its shield, popular opinion sneers at the unpopular. The pioneer of social thought finds his friends desert him; he becomes sneered at and avoided; he loses his means of livelihood; the news media deny him his right to defend his honest thought against his slanderers. The rule of the Taboo Curtain - the rule of society - is absolute. As individuals we must claim allegiance to orthodoxy and must suppress recalcitrant opinions. If we cannot discipline ourselves into acceptance, society will. · This brings us to the question of why? The Taboo Curtain is thrown up by a psychologically sick society, a society content to be as it is. A society that is blind to its ills and res-trictions, one afraid to face its shortcomings, or if it does see a problem, works to solve it 19th century fashion. No, it cannot be. To cure society of its traditions, its Victorian morals and ethics, its noncommittal to its members, it must change its thinking a-nd nature. It must integrate itself into the modern way of solving its problems of today in a modern 20th century manner. The minority pioneers of social reform must be heard or civilization will be at a standstill. The majority will say, "What's wrong with our society?" It shows how blind it can be. "It's been like this for years and has served us well." (Continued on Page 6) fouth 'Dialogue' Program Invites Wilkes Volunteers An area television program has played an important role in bridging the so-called communications iap between generations. "Dialogue" is a half-hour show featuring five young people from Northeastern Pennsylvania who discuss topics of current interest to youth. Under the direction of Sid Harris, the weekly show is viewed Sundays at 9 a.m. on WNEP-TV, and at 7:30 p.m. on Educational Television, Channel 44. Page 3 Twenty-four programs have been presented to date, with in excess of 85 people appearing. These people are secured through contact with student government in schools and colleges, and with leaders in academic and community life. -Subjects discussed on "Dialogue" have included : the relevancy of the church, blacks in education, the Playboy philosophy, student unrest, marriage and divorce, the draft, peace moratoriums, gun control legislation, mental retardation, Vice-President Agnew and censorship. the urban crisis, the population explosion, and the Pill. Stu den ts are also invited to suggest future topics for discussion on this television show. NOTICE New Beacon office hou.rs have been scheduled and will be Mondays 11 a.m. - 3 p.m., Tuesdays 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. and Wednesdays at 11 a.m. Any questions and phone calls will be answered during these times. Submission of articles by any interested persons also may be brought to llte BEACON office during the scheduled Sunday and Monday meetings.

West, Director of Student Teaching at Wilkes College, that 63 secondary and 41 elementary student teachers have been assigned responsibilities in various surrounding school districts. The districts in which assignments are made are Crestwood Area, Northwest Area, Tunkhannock Area, Wilkes-Barre Area, Wyoming Area, Wyoming Valley West, and Nanticoke Area Schools. Various subject areas are represented by the many fields indicated by the student teachers. The fields represented are business education, history, chemistry, mathematics, Spanish, English, French, art, and music. Students will visit classrooms and .assist teachers once each week for six weeks prior to full-time involvement of responsibilities on March 16 for elementary, music, and art student teachers, and March 2 for secondary student teachers. In addition to the visitation days, students are presently involved in intensive study and development of methods and materials of teaching language arts, mathematics, social studies, science, art and music. Arranging the assignments for student teaching in the public schools is a responsibility that requires and receives careful attention from members of Wilkes College Education Department. The student is required to arrange transportation to the school in which he has been placed; Wilkes College does not assume this responsibility. The education department members do help in whatever ways they can by assigning students with cars to the same buil.ding with students who do not have cars so that they can share the rides. The riders are expected to share the cost of travel. Cooperating teachers are selected administrators . These teachers are from lists provided by the school expected to 'h<1ve the qualifications associated with a master teacher. Most school districts do not put co' opera ting teachers on their lists who have Jiad less experience in public school work. The teachers selected receive a stipend from Wilkes College, WHAT• WHERE• WHEN °Friday, February 20 Dance- "The Buoys," all-college dance sponsored by SG and IDC at the gym, 9-12 p.m .

That might not sound earthshaking to most of you, but the past three issues have been a baptism of fire for this new editorial staff! In three short weeks we have been bankrupt [almost), had our copy stolen (necessitating putting out an entire new issue m one day), and had to cope with student demonstrations. I must admit wondering in one of the chaotic moments last Thursday why students couldn't have ·been more cooperative and had their demonstrations on a Monday or Tuesday. Thursday afternoon is cutting a deadline close . ... But there have been moments to more than make up for all the chaos, and I do feel there is no job quite as rewarding as one on a newspaper. (There's none quite so frustrating either, but that's another story.) We owe a lot of people sincere thank-you's beginning with our printers, Llewellyn and McKane, who have bent over backwards to Maureen Klaproth help us through these hectic weeks . Last Thursday they promised to hold eight inches for the story on the proposals, and when Sally and I went in with approximately 28 inches of copy, they not only took it, but had the papers r eady at the usual time on Friday morning! Editorially we have already thanked those who helped put out the second issue two weeks ago, but I want to thank them again for their loyalty. And thanks also to those who have given us pats on the back after others have knocked us down . . . . FROM HERE AND THERE: - - Those of us who are juniors and seniors were reflecting on the newly approved proposals. We all agreed that it is difficult to believe this is the same school that had 9 p.m. freshman curfews three years ago, and such rules as no slacks in town or to classes. We've come a long, long way - peacefully. There are still things we'd like to see - a pass-fail grading system outside our majors, a voluntary cafeteria arrangement, a solution to the parking problem, and independent study programs in more areas. Let's hop e every step forward is taken in an orderly manner, demonstrating a maturity on th e part of Wilkes students. I'm relieved that the voices of reason triumphed over the voices ·calling for radical methods last week. We can be especially proud of our student leaders who kept open the channels through which the final approval came. - -I'd like to give a plug for a television show that is not part of the vast wasteland. It's called "Dialogue," and it's a show where young people can speak out freely and be heard. (A full story on the program is printed elsewhere in this issue, but my plea is a personal one.) Those of us from Wilkes who have participated in this program have found the experience enjoyable. The talk is spontaneous - and after the first few moments, you actually forget the cameras. Unfortunately, not that many students from our campus have volunteered to appear - though George Conway, Frank Mccourt, Sue Novak, Bill Kaye, and Drew Gubanich are among those that have . This is a perfect opportunity to show how young people really think, and all you have to do is volunteer. To show you how painless the whole thing is I'll confess that I was called at 6:30 p .m . to substitute for someone else. I had just taken a shower and crawled into bed for a nap when Dick Bevan called. Being a little groggy, I agreed - and a half hour later I found myself on a set discussing the Pill, and wondering if I had the curlers out of my hair. What a way to make a television debut! - - Speaking of television - whatever happened to it? I admit I've never been a fan , but after watching it last weekend for the first time in months, I realized that it has reached the desperation stage. For example, I viewed the Andy Williams Show, expecting a relaxed, informal pace. Instead, dear sweater-boy Andy runs a psychedelic light show with bad imitations of Laugh-In gags thrown in for good measure. A whole show of "Moon River" would be better than being subjected to a bear begging cookies, a walking suitcase, a midget Prussian soldier, and a worn-out line - "You 're weird, Andy . .. " Andy is depending too much on spot jokes rather than is relaxed singing voice. However, his one trump card is his wife, Claudine . Even a special (which usually save the medium) disappointed me recently. I watched a revival of The Front Page with Robert Ryan. The producers made a fatal mistake in not adapting it more for television. We all h ad trouble catching the dialogue, and the acting was distracting, being much to flamboyant for the small screen.

Out of the nearly 650 freshmen enrolled at Wilkes College, a total of 267 of the students voted . The election results named Joel Fischman as presiaent of his class with a total of 131 votes. His closest competitor for this office was Sheila Pettie with 87 votes. Frank Galicki captured the office of vice-president over Stephanie Pufto and Bruce Kelson with voting results of 140, 84, and 47 votes, respectively. The new treasurer of the Freshman Class is Carol Hussa with 103 votes. Her closest competitor was Jeff Limber with 69 votes. The closest number of votes for any two candidates for office was that between Randy Wells and Mary Francis LaRos e for the position of secretary. The final count was Randy Wells 122 and Mary Francis LaRose 117, with Miss Wells capturing the office with a narrow five-vote margin. by George Pagliaro "Students must be made to realize that unless they take active roles in cleaning up this mess, they might not be wearing gas masks outdoors today but their children will tomorrow," says David Hughes, acting chairman of the Environmental Organization of Students at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va. Mr. Hughes' comment exemplifies the attitude of many students on other campuses who are no longer confining their interests to their particular campus es but are turning them toward the world around them. The world is in a state of crisis, a crisis no one can end with bombs (they are supposed to be a cure-all), ambiguous political speeches, or token federal budget allowances (allowances that could not even clean up Lake Erie). If man is to stop destroying himself, h e must make a concerted effort to change his suicidal trend on all fronts. The front composed of the American college student is just beginning to act. At Dickinson College in Carlisle, a public affairs symposium took place from February 8 to 11. Highlighted by an address by Dr. Barry ·commoner on "The Crisis of Our Environment," it was suppleRepresentatives to Student Gov- mented with further discussions by ernment for the class of '73 were also elected. They were Lindsay Farley (160), Howard Tune (152), Michael Barski (147), Anne Fischer (122) and Al Balderson (108). PHEAA Scholarship Forms Now Available In Chase It has been announced by Richard Rasp en that Pennsylvania residents enrolled as full-time students earning at least 12 credit hours each semester and who do not now hold a Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency Scholarship may obtain an application for 1970-71 at the Financial Aid Office , Chase Hall 104. To be eligible for a State grant, a student must be a bona fide resident of Pennsylvania for at least 12 months immediately preceding the date of application and must show financial need. Students who hold a PHEAA Scholarship this year will receive a renewal application in the mail within a few weeks. It is not necessary to secure an application from the Financial Aid Office. Filing deadline for both initial applications and upperclass renewal applications is April 30, 1970. former Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall, Senator Gaylord Nelson, and several other prom· inent men who covered many phases of the destruction of the environment, including pollution, overpopulation, the economic effect, and the goals of science. J'he symposium alse set up a resolutions committee to "draft concrete and specific resolutions on what government and business can do to clean up." •Concern at Dickinson is mounting. Ending coverage of the symposium, The Dickinsonian published a photo af a car spewing an overabundance of exhaust with the questioning caption, "How shall we leave this symposium? . . . ! !" The message is clear : talk is fine and necessary, but actions speak louder than words. Concern for the dying environment has permeated through the entire system of colleges in our country. From the closing thought of The Loretto, Saint Francis Col• lege's newspaper (a quote by Pogo stating, "We have met the enemy and he is us") to the activist EGOS of Old Dominion, and to t'he sym· posium at Dickinson, college students are sounding the alarm. Something mus t be done now, or as Dr. Mizianty warned his Biology 102 students, we will die in our own waste . Graphic Works, Photography On Exhibit In Art Gallery Conyngham Annex Gallery is now exhibiting the work of two art• ists, Renee Mucci and Alice Sekowski. The exhibit contains photography work done by Miss Mucci which is an interesting and unusual additioa to the show. The best of this work, " Snow Farm #2," is an exercise ii black and white. The balance in· such a stark photograph is impor and obviously easily achieved, which helps to create the statement design. Another painting, "The Fire Escape," is a textured oil done in high style which recalls the "naive" paintings of early America. Miss Sekowski's work contains a number of graphics which se to express a definite feeling for experimentation. "Untilled" is an et ing which shows thought and knowledge of the medium. Most of h graphics are highly successful. Exhibits usually contain metalwork jewelry and both artists' work reflect design and interest. The jewe in all its simplicity, achieves a freedom of design which heightens quality of the show. Paintings done in a similarly designed lashi would be abstract in quality and unusual in design. The show is w put together and is a good representation of the artists' talents. • IDC M Topi, include gram, t Whitby orphan Mike and d: Learnin 1 tionnair, out the The qw for prefe er, and Francis J Mike to J program. might ·b e Dean J• meeting t of Freshr tains that celled b ee received 1 plications of the we 1 lege board ceived; h e from high many stud noon to b He went on le purpose year.

Student Government Meeting February 11 The results of the student opinion poll for the chalendar changes were 575 in favor and 65 opposed. The proposal will now be presented to the Administration for final action. At present, the faculty has approved the proposal in principle. Faculty chairmen are Mr. Darte, Mr. Fahmy, and Dr. Allen. The Student Government vote on the proposal was 8-2-4. The Activities Fee proposal was unanimously approved and a date of February 24 was set for the student referendum. The New Committee, represented by Howard Tune, submitted the supervision proposal for the Commons game room. A student supervisor will be required to be in the center during his working hours. The supervisor will be responsible for the equipment and locking the equipment. All students using the materials will have to surrender their identification cards. The card will ·be returned to the owner' upon presentation of the game. The proposal was unanimously passed by SG. The game room opened February 16. The New Committee also announced that it will present a film in March in the Commons. Dave Hoffman proposed that an all-college party be sponsored similar to the Winter Carnival party. Research is being done. The March of Dimes will sponsor a dance on March 13. It was announced that on March 10, Alex Haley, author of the "as told to" story, The Autobiography of Malcolm X, will speak at Wilkes. The topic of his discussion is, "Black Heritage, a Saga of Black History." Also on April 6, 'Dr. David Smith, medical director of the Haight-Asbury Medical Clinic, will speak on "Youth Alienation, and the Drug ,Scene." he is editor of The Journal of Psychedelic Drugs. Dave Lombardi presented the results of the Middle Atlantic States Accreditation Case Study. The results were unanimously approved by SG. * * * Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last week, students engaged in peaceful demonstrations to learn the reasons why the open-house proposal had been rejected and to show the Administration that the students were a unified body supporting open-housing. Dorm Visitation Ouestions Asked After last week's incidents, everyone has questions that need answers. Below are a few questions and their answers on the dormitory visitation topic, student responsi,bility, and a plan for "Forward Thrust." Was consideration given to the suggestions of the Council of Deans? The Deans submitted their recommendations to the Administrative Council. The proposals were discussed. After careful consideration some parts of the intervisitation proposal were looked on favorably and others with less favor. The Administrative Council did not consider it advisable to accept the proposals as they were submitted. The Administrative Council did not consider it advisable to approve any recommendation that was not based upon the assumption of responsibility by students for the governance of their proposal. The proposal that was submitted returned the responsibility for governance to the Administration by placing all responsibility upon student proctors who are employed by the College. What happened to the recommendation of the Student Life Committee? The Deans' Council was guided by the discussions and varied points of view expressed in the Student Life Committee. In accordance with accepted procedures, the varied points of view by the Student Life Committee were considered by the Deans' Council and were incorporated in its report to the Administrative Council. -- E Was consideration given to the vote of dormitory students on the question of intervisitation? The Deans and Administrative Council were fully cognizant of the overwhelming consensus of student opinion. They were also aware, however, that the Administration bears the ultimate responsibility for administering these policies. Is the College willing to give responsibility to the students? The Administration has always asked its students to assume increasing responsibility .

The Wilkesmen are now 11-8 on the campaign and 8-7 in the MAC. This marks the first time this season that Coach Ron Rainey's charges have been over .500 in the MAC. Tuesday [Feb. 10) night at Harpur the Colonels got off to a quick 10-0 lead and had little trouble the rest of the half. The closest the host team got was nine points, at 16-7 and again at 18-9. Then with Rich Davis, Herb Kemp, and Dave Kurosky controlling the boards and Wally Umbach, Davis, and Kurosky shooting well, the Colonels outscored Harpur by a 22-11 margin in the next five minutes. The Wilkesten coasted to a halftime lead of 52-26. Harpur showed some sign of ' coming to life in the second half as it scored the first five points of the half to cut the Colonel lead to 5231. However, Captain Kemp quickly dispelled Harpur's hopes by converting a three-point play and following with a 15-footer to put the Colonels up by 31 again. From this point on there was no stopping the Colonels as they led by as much as 40 points at some times in the contest. Coach Rainey cleared the bench with about 10 minutes left in the game and all but two of the Colonels scored. Rich Davis led the Wilkes scoring with 26 points on 10 of 16 from the field and six of eight from the foul line. Herb Kemp placed second in the scoring column with 24 points and Wally Umbach also hit doubles with 14. Kemp led the rebounders with 14 and Davis had nine.

The Taboo Curtain is a very real and pernicious fact of the contemporary American society. The purpose of developing the philosophy of individu al freedom to the utmost and to live without taboos is to "examine every major axiom of Western culture, to make the antithesis of each axiom a possible and disable thin g, rather than an unthinkable one." We are engaged in a non-violent revolution all across the nation to try to change the mistakes of the past and insure they won't happen in the future. Instead of war and hate the new philosophy stresses love and care for one another and the suppressing of exploitation of our fellow human beings. This is the aim of the new generation "free-thinkers."

Saturday night the determined Moravian Greyhounds gave Wilkes a tough game before finally succumbing by an 87-72 score. The Colonels took an early lead and were up by six to eight points throughout the first 15 minutes of the game . With Wilkes up by five, 28-23, the host team got hot and outscored the Colonels by a 12-2 margin in the next few minutes and took a 35-30 lead. The Colonels then put on a spurt of their own and outscored Moravian in the last three and a half minutes of the half by a 9-2 margin and took a 39-37 lead to the lockerroom. The second half was as tight as the first for the first six minutes, but then the Colonels started goin g inside to Davis . The 61 6" junior responded with some fine inside shooting and subsequently the Colonels began to pull away. All Moravian attempts to thwart the surging Colonels proved fruitless and the Colonels coasted to an 87-72 victory. Davis led the Colonel scoring with 37 points coming on his patented turnaround jumpers and some tough moves on the offensive board. Umbach was next with 21 points and Kemp contributed 15 to the Wilkes cause. Davis led in rebounds with 13 while Kurosky and Kemp had 10 (Continued on Page 8) By gaining 17 points before opposing Hofstra University could get on the scoreboard, the Colonel matmen gained their tenth win of the season via a 23-11 victory over the New Yorkers.

In the five meets held this year, Krienke has ~ined first place finishes in the diving competition four times. Agraduate of the Daycroft School Greenwich, Connecticut, the '.ellar Colonel diver won seven tters during his high school ca.er. He was awarded four of the tiers as a member of the school's wimming team, on which he par'cipated in the individual m edley, 1lays, and diving events.

According to Krienke, the takeoff is also vitally important if the dive is to be successful. Krienke 's biggest thrill since beginning his swimming career occurred in 1967 when he finished fourth in the New Jersey Interscholastic Swimming Championships for Group IV High Schools. This was quite an accomplishment for Krienke as the competition in this tournament included contestants from the largest high schools in Jersey. Since the beginning of his college career, Krienke has continued to improve in every aspect of his diving, and with two full years of eligibility left before his graduation in 1972, the Colonel swim team will be assured of gaining some vital Of all the div es which he must 1erform as a contestant, Krienke's points in the diving events. !avorite is the reverse dive layout.

On February 10, the girls from Misericordia made life miserable for the Colonelettes as they ran to an 18-point halftime lead. But with the playing of Sharon Pavides, Sue Ditson, Elaine Swisloswi, Lorraine Mancuso, Carol Hoffner, Jo Ann Beimer, and high scorer Sandy Bloomsburg, the Colonelettes came to within three points of "Misery" with three minutes remaining. Misericordia tightened up, however, to maintain the lead and win the game, 42-35. Two days later, the coeds finally broke into the winning column for the first time this season as they convincingly defeated the Keystone Job Corps, 41-30. Miss Pavides took the scoring honors this time as all six regulars played quite well. Ruth Sharkus and Maureen Kosmynka came off the bench often to substitute for Miss Marcuso, who suffered an injured ankle. Carol Ohlen, Diane Force, Kathy Krufas, Rita Ryneski, and Babara Zembrzuski also participated in the game. Mrs. Sarocino's team travels to Community College Tuesday night.

This proposal has be en submitted to students and re jected by them on four differen t occasions. The Student Government has been asked throughout the years to counsel with and advise the Deans and the Administration. Students have held man y positions of responsibil ity while earning their way th rou gh college. This has included pu blicity, scheduli ng, maintena nce of records, secu rity patrol, resident assistants, th e honor dormitory, etc . A Student Life Committee was formed in 1968 to encourage free exchange of opinion among students, faculty, and Administra tion. The Student Governm ent has assum ed responsibility for p lanning and administering the orientation program. This includes the summer reading program.

We feel, however, that proper planning is needed to assure the su ccess of any program and to protect th e majority from abuses by the minority.

Wilkes Sponsors Summer Workshop Wilkes College again will offer a Summer Theater Workshop program that grants credit to high school students, undergraduates and teachers working for advanced degrees, according to Tom Kelly, director of Wilkes Summer College. The project, in cooperation with Lehigh University, is scheduled to open July 5 for four weeks, concluding August 2. Workshop, initiated in 1967 under Title 3, ESEA, has been ranked among the sound summer projects through the State by a team from Pennsylvania Department of Education. It was developed to provide a challenge and creative experience for high school students interested in dramatics and to prepare teachers for their work in educational theater on the secondary level. In two previous summer sessions, more than 100 students and 30 teachers have participated in the program. Alfred S. Groh, director of the workshop, has prepared the four-week program to avail students instruction in dramatic arts, together with practical theater experience in production, acting and directing. Public performances of plays and musicals will complement the course. Summer Theater Workshop will offer college credits of three to six hours to high school students preparing to enter college; to college students working toward a bachelor's degree and to secondary school teachers earning credits toward a master's degree in education. Credits are transferable to other institutions. Upon successful completion of the course, high school students will receive a certificate of achievement. Complete information may be obtained at Wilkes College Center for the Performing Arts. Come Room Plans Coin Acceptance At last Thursday night's student government meeting, the New Committee, represented by Howard Tune, disclosed the Administration's acceptance of its proposal to make a game room on the second floor of the Commons. The center will be located in the east room of the second floor. Under these conditions, the chairs now, occupying this area will be relocated in the west room, thereby leaving the Faculty Lounge unaffected. The center will be open to all students whenever possible to coincide with the hours of the Commons. Roth Novelty Company will supply the game machines which will include: Pinball machines, a "Computer quiz", ping-pong tables, and a juke box. (Continued on Page 8) After the Meeting During the meeting hundreds of students gathered outside Weckesser Annex chanting and carrying signs. Following the meeting, Drew Gubanich and Dan Kopen stood on cars to re port the results and calm the students. The students then assembled in the gym to ask Dean Ralston and student leaders questions concerning the proposals. Dean Ralston said he was unable to give the reasons. At presstime the students were in the gym planning to stay overnight and many intend to boycott classes. Activity was confined to the gym. TO MEMBERS OF S.G. AND I.D.C. OPEN-HOUSING: There will be no change in the present policy. You have recently said, and written, that you are impatient. May I advise you that I am both impatient and concerned. I recently received a demand from four students that I account to them for not responding to their demands . Several years ago, a girl demanded that the College provide a place for men and women to "shack-up" over the weekends. On December 28, 1968, Conyngham Hall burned, and there is strong suspicion that it was started by an arsonist. On December 30, 1068, I advised the Board of Trustees that the building must be replaced if we were to continue our courses in art, engineering, mathematics, psychology, and environmental science. And to start the campaign, I pledged a sum that at present rates of interest would provide annually an amount sufficient to cover the costs of tuition, board, room, books, and incidentals for one student. Last winter, two students obtained keys and removed $2700 worth of equipment from college buildings. Last year, a Molotov cocktail was set off in Stark Hall and small fires were started in Weckesser Annex and Pickering Hall. On February 5, 1970, we were advised that only one insurance company would give us coverage when our present policy expires on February 14. Within the past month, outsiders have been reported in one of our dormitories. Recently, we have received demands that men's dormitories be opened to women and that women's curfews be eliminated. It has also been suggested that the College close its dormitories and dining hall so that it can limit its activities to the classroom and laboratory. Four years ago, an outside and paid organizer began a campaign to create unrest among students. (a) He admitted that his purpose was to destroy. (b) After {wo years of effort, he was joined and supported in his efforts by two other outside organizers. (c) They conducted private interviews - a technique which they called "The Facilitator" - in the hope of discovering disturbed and dissatisfied students who would submit d emands that no responsible administration could accept. (d) During this past summ er, the first organi zer advised me th at they would " take-over" th is year. (Perhaps his threat was right.) (e) He succeeded in persuading several stud ents to join him. They fo llow ed him and gave up a ll op- OFF-CAMPUS LIVING : This proposal will be sent to the Board of Trustees with approval from the Administrative Council. The details must be worked out with this body with pertinance to the legal requirements and parental consideration. ABOLITION OF CURFEWS: This proposal will also be sent to the Board of Trustees. The approval made by the Council allows girls 21 and over to be exempt from curfew hours. It also allows junior and seniors girls to be exempt from curfews with parental permission. The Preside nt 's Council will work out the details of this proposal; the next scheduled meeting is Feb. 18. portunity for the their education. completion of I report these things to you in the hope that it may give you some understanding of our concern. It is our responsibility to assure the stability and growth of the College. It is your responsibility to take ad vantage of the opportunities which brought you to Wilkes. Over the years, I have remained at Wilkes because of my faith in its students. And in the past they have justified this faith. I am proud of the accomplishments of our alumni; when I meet with them, they sustain me and encourage me. I suppose I have the same faith in you, but this faith is tested by some of yo u who follow the Pied Piper. The time has come for you to give thought not to yourselves but to the future of your College. .You can join with those who have made this College, and you can add to it; OR, you can demonstrate your impatience by following the Pied Piper. It is time that you choose your course: you can participate in a constructive effort that requires patience and painstaking planning, or you can tear down that which others have built for you. I think I know your decision, for my faith is based upon experience wit h many generations of students and you are not as different from them as some of you say you are. You live in different times and respond to the influences of these times - both good and bad. But I believe that, like those who have preceded yo u, you are seeking a full m eas ure of happiness, a sense of accomplishment, and a modicum of self-esteem. I say these things to you in hope and with trepidation. I hope yo u will abandon the Pied Piper and sustai n my faith in the students of Wilkes College. Without this fait h , how can I ask others to join our efforts to strengthen our College? l! jl ii �Friday, February 13, 19 THE BEACON Page 2 W1LHA Editorials By the time you read this Beacon, the Administration will have communicated to the students concerning the three proposals up for review before the Administrative Council. The three proposals include: open-housing, off-campus living, and women 's curfews. It seems the decision will express more than a simple yes or no. It will prove more than the decision of a decisionmaking body. The meeting at 11:30 a.m. Thursday is for the sole purpose of communicating to the students. Because Dr. Eu gene S. Farley had to leave town early, the Council was unable to reach a dE:cision . Therefore, the need to communicate to the students was established and met. Throughout the entire period of considering proposals, writing proposals, and finally presenting them, students and Administration have been discussing. The Administration laid down the guidelines that students must follow. The students have done their share also. They have been patient and willing to compromise. After all, these proposals were all student initiated . What else can be said at this point? Regardless of the outcome, much has been accomplished and proved . Communication and recognition . The ability for two groups, opposing in many respects, to communicate and try to understand the feelings, desires, and goals of the other. The recognition by the Administration for the students and the students for the Administration. Make Things Happen! If you are a Wilkes College student with one hour a your services are needed desperately. The YM -YWCA conducts a tutoring center for students from the first to the twelfth grades . In order to continue the program , the center needs new tutors in all subjects science and mathematics. particularly About 90% of the pupils are from low income families. By putting education on a personal rather than an institu tional basis, volunteer tutors often become the pupils' link for remaining in school. The Tutorial Program is made possible by funding until June 30 by the Commission on Econom ic Opportunity of Luzerne County by OEO grant.

Letters to the Editor To the 'Editors: I find myself believing that if one wishes to find a college campus on which lack of concern exists Wilkes is the place to look, and you surel.y do not have to look far to find it. The college offers to all students a yearbook, whose publishing costs average $11 .00 per book, available to students for a nominal charge of only $2.00. Orders have been in the process of being taken since the beginning of the school year back in September for the 1970 Amnicola and to date only 300 students of the total enrollmen t of 2,500 have ordered yearbooks. During this time the AMNICOLA staff has manned the office for the convenience of students who wish to order. Notices have been posted on all bulletin boards on campus, and the BEACON has also carried information concerning the 1970 AMNICOLA. My staff members have gone out of their way in seeking subscriptions for the yearbook, only to be confronted with rejections. No one on my staff gets any prize for selling yearbooks; they're just a good bunch of involved people who really care. Unfortunately, the majority of students on this campus just "couldn't be bothered" about such ."high schoolish" things as yearbooks. To those who are concerned the AMNICOLA office is located in the Student Organization Building, 76 W. Northampton Street. We also give the students the privilege of having the books mailed directly to their homes. Incidently, the AMNICOLA is published for all students at ·wilkes; und erclassmen, day students, dorm students, and of course, seniors. Please allow me to close with this thought; a yearbook is a funny thing, it may not mean much to you now, but in a few years when your college days are only memories the AMNICOLA will be able to provide you with a recollection of some of the most cherished moments of your life. Think about it. Sincerely yours, Thomas J. Cardillo Editor-in°Chief, 1970 AMNICOLA 'fJeieeJ q,-ipe To the Editors: Judging from the replies by the staff of the Beacon to certain letters to the editor, it seems that the staff or who ever writes the replies does not know why their paper is held as the laughing stock of the Friday lunches. One good reason is the editorial of December 19, which stated that it would be nice to have open men's dorms, but if open dorms are not obtained it would be alright. Alright for who? The vote in favor of open men's dorms was 392 to 7. The "Acknowledging Change" editorial of December 12 sounds more like an apology for making a stand rather than discussing the issue of meaningful change. How can the students at Wilkes take up the "Forward Thrust" when they are living with backward concepts? In the "Bring Us Together" Editorial of January 30, the editorial looks more like it was written b y the Council of Deans instead of suggested by them as stated. If the Beacon really thinks that the dorm students have confidence in "Administrative Probing" or that the dorm students should have more patience on proposals brought up last 'September, the Beacon is only kidding itself. In conclusion, as long as the Beacon insists on running phony editorials and not seriously dealing with campus issues, it will never gain the respect of the students at Wilkes College.

In fact, every week I read Miss Klaproth 's column just to see if her journalism has improved. I struggle with boredom to make it through to the closing lines only to realize, once again, I have been insulted. I am not interested in her private dreams and if I wanted to read about the practical jokes of roommates, I'd buy a copy of "Teen Magazine." There are many intelligent people among the student body and faculty who are involved in the social, economical and political activities at Wilkes College . What they have to say would be more interesting than a pretend dialog between Paul Newman and David Frost. The current controversies on campus about open housing and unlimited curfews would be more appropriate than a descriptive paragraph of the hick boyfriend from Shirley's past. Perhaps Miss Klaproth is at large in the wrong places. In that case, someone should remove the blind fold from her eyes so she can stop playing blind man's bluff and do some serious writing on th e college level. Sincerely, Sarah Richmond (Ed. note: As this is a letter to the editor concerning myself, and I am co-editor, I am taking the liberty of offering some advice to Miss Richmond -and other critics who "struggle with boredom" each week. Obviously, you anticipate such boredom by now, so perhaps you should not force yourself to read the column. (Surely, this solution must have occurred to you.) My reaction is one of pity that so many people lack a sense of humor - such an existence must be de- pressing.

Pines The Vietnam War, to the surprise of many, including Senator Fulbright, may be a dead political issue, according to Vice-President Spiro Agnew. It seems, how eve r, that if the recent "Wilkes College Debate on Vietnam" was any indication of the general electorate, VicePresident Agnew is suffering from a most unfortunate misapprehensio n . The recent College debate was an attempt perhaps to clarify the issues concerning the war. Essentially and unfortunately, the parlance, involving Professor Cox and Professor Kimber, was no more than a flat presentation of the atrocious charac te rized by occasional rhetorical puffery, parrying, use of impressive testimonials, and prolixity. Primarily, the debate suffered from a lack of dir ec tion . It seems academically presumptuous to sponsor a general debate on the Vietnam War between two professors, with two diverg ent yet basically sound approaches, and expect anything more than a palatable presentation of the moral and diplomatic co mplexities of such an international problem. Professor Kimber approached the dais first and argued against the Vietnam War on a moralistic basis, attacking th e atrocities of war. To think that anyone would have challenged such an argument would be rather absurd . Recognizably, a defense of the war on a nihilistic ethical-moral basis would require an elaborate system of perverted ethics, the kind that only Albert Camus' Caligula could have produced . Professor Kimb er's argument, how ever, acquired more concreteness when he summarized the tangled web of foreign involvemen t in the Vietnam War while emphasizing four essential points: (1) the U.S. has actually prevented any genuin e self-determination for fear of receiving the . same Vietnamese rejection that precipitated the French withdrawal from Vietnam ; (2) the late President Eisenhower in his memoirs acknowledged the fact that the economic advantages of acquiring a foothold in Southeast Asia are substantial; (3) that the U:S. Government's rationalization of its genetic involvement in the war is not substantiated by any scholar on Southeast Asian affairs [this became a moot point during the debate) ; and (4) so called victory can only be accomplished by genocide. The presentation was an admira'b le attempt to confro nt the opposite, more pragmatic point of view that Professor Cox repre sented with aplomb. While Kimber's argument cannot under any ci rcumstanc e be ignored, neither can those of Professor Cox be swept aside nor accepted without important res ervations. The impres sion of this writer was that the audience failed to consider Professor Cox's point of view. Cox, realizing the futility of arguing the war on a moral standpoint, maintained that one must consider the political-diplomatic repercussions of abrupt withdrawal. After tracing Western involvement in South east Asia (since 1898} and tastelessly asking whether there is something wrong with American presidents or those who elect them, Professor Cox stated that the main questions are whether the U.S . had a reason to b e in Vietnam and whether it sho uld immediately withdraw . The thesis of Professor Cox's argument, acknowledged as a r es ult of either Cox's implication or this writer's inference, is that su ch unfortunate happenings, like wars, are necess ary in order to maintain global security. 'Even a simple mind could understand the dangerous implications of such a contenti'on that would recklessly permit futur e political and immoral perpetrations . Granted, it is important to realize that one lives in a political world in which international peace is maintained by a balance of power and that human nature has a propensity to take advantage, oftentimes viciously, of those on the lo wer rings of th e hierarchic ladder. Yet it is indeed dangerous to cry out "global security threat" anytime peace is threate n ed. Perhaps President Nixon's new Asian policy is an attempt to prevent futur e disasterous and embarrassing occurrences while maintaining a parity in the international situation. Regarding the present onerous involvement of the United States in Vietnam, Professor Cox is correct in assuming that an abrupt withdrawal would indeed create serious repercussions in many respects and would threaten international stability, or a semblance thereof. Aside from prosaic basis and simplicity of his domino theory, Professor Cox's pragmatic and politically wise argument, was for many a flat presentation of the atrocious . In order to appreciate the Vietnam debate, if that can be done, it was necessary to realiz e the paradoxical nature of the world in which one lives . How does one maintain in ternational peace and a balance of pow er without negating one's moral values? Th e debate, in a sense, was nothing less than a presentation of two. men on stage, probably sharing the same desire for peace, yet unable to find workable solutions amidst a h eritage of errors .

Newly added to the proposal is clause providing for th e remaining money to be left in a fund for the following years. At the same m eeting, Sally Donoho submitted a proposal for Offcampus living. The proposal suggests that stud ents 21 or seniors be permitted to live off-campus without parental permission. And that students under 21 be permitted to live-off campus with parental permission. A calendar change proposaly was submitted by Dave Hoffman, a memb er of the Calendar-Faculty Committee. The proposal suggests that the calendar be revised to have the semester end by Decemb er 23, to b e preceded by nine days of final exams. At the same meeting it was announced that the Junior-Senior dinner dance would b e held March 20 at the Treadway Inn . The charge will be $5 a coupl e.

With a little less fouling, Dave could be a tremendous boost for the Raineymen. His most outstanding performance this season came three weeks ago against a spirited East Stroudsburg squad.

Fearing that their policy of white supremacy over blacks may be jeopardized, South African officials refused t:> grant a visa to black American star Arthur Ashe which would have allowed Ashe to participate in the South African Tennis Championships. By doing so, that apartheid country has virtually sealed its own grave, not only in tennis competition, but also international athletics. It was banned from last year's Olympics even though it promised to enter black teams (all black teams). But keep in mind those black teams trained and dressed apart from the white teams. Tennis players and officials have bewailed the bigotry of South Africa, but perhaps words aren't enough. It would be a nice gesture on tennis' part if all tournaments of South Africa were •boycotted. Such overt and open bigotry cannot be accepted any longer. :i□□□□□□a□□□□□o□~□□□□□c□□o□□□□□□□□□o□□□C'□□o□o□□□□1 H. C.

The meet, scheduled to begin at 8 p.m., will be wrestled on the Warriors' home mat. The charges of Coach Reese have responded well in their first tw.o major meets. Back on December 20, they lost a heartbreaker 21-19 to N.Y. Maritime, but since then have reeled off five straight wins, each being won by big scores. The two most significant ·o f these five came against Madison FDU and last w.e ek's opponent, Lycoming. Preparing for the coming match against Lycoming, the matrnen moved up a weight class to battle Madison. The result was a 42-0 victory and a good deal of momentum going into Lycoming. This momentum was present throughout the entire match, from Andy Matviak's record-setting accumulation of 27 points to Leo Roan's 8-0 decision to end the the meet. It seems as though each wrestler had this momentum and it should be maintained against Hofstra tomorrow and the Warriors on Wednesday. But the Lycoming victory was more than a simple 23-11 win. It was a little bit of revenge for the Blue and Gold against the Pete Herbst team that handed them their only defeat of last season. So with Lycoming out of the way, the matmen prepare to take on Hofstra, ·Stroudsburg, Hhaca, and Delaware Valley before competing in the post-season tournaments. Hofstra University could present the Reesemen with a stiff challenge. In its last two outings, Hofstra lost to New York Maritime, 20-16, but came back to defeat Harvard, 20-12. 1East Stroudsburg has also tasted defeat this season so it looks like a rough week for the Colonel matmen. Assistant Coach Ted Toluba considers Stroudsburg to be tougher than Lycoming, especially since "we'll •be wrestling on their mat." Looking ahead to the MA'C Tournament, Wilkes will be gunning for its ninth MA'C championship. Gettysburg currently holds the most number of titles with nine. Scheduled for March 6 and 7, the meet will be held at the Wilkes gym for the third time. Wilkes was the host in 1958 and 1966 and on both occasions the Wilkesmen took the title. Other coeds who participated are Carol Allen, Diane Dukas, Diane Force, Jo-Ann Gomer, Carol Hoffner, Debbie Koch, Maureen Kosmynka, Kathy Krute, Rita Ryneski, Although basketball is defined as a non-contact sport, speak to any Ruth Sharkus, Sandy Strevell, and ballplayer and find out differently.

It caused a few ripples in Shippensburg as well. Miss Susan Goodman, an assistant professor in the foreign languages department at Shippensburg State College, holds the role of Mrs. McAndrew, the silent wife of one of the Maguires. Comparing the life of a movie actress (which she left by choice) to her job as a teacher, Miss Goodman made the statement, "Acting just doesn ' t measure up to the art of teaching. Life as an actress is precarious and not very fulfilling. I am much more thrilled when a student learns something from me, than when I create a false image on the screen. " Few teachers have chosen their field over a "promising career in the movies ." Miss Goodman did, and, entering the profession with the attitude she takes, she must certainly be welcome. Elizabethtown College is one of 17 colleges involved in a program called Flint Introductory Physics Sequence. Discussing the four-semester program, Hubert M. Custer, head of the Department of Physics, stated, "Physics has always frightened the average student away. Up to this point, we were only getting the students who needed to take it REPORTER AT (Continued from Page 5) I see no solutions to the dilemma in sight, and I think the whole mess will eventually peter out. Making it up to the guys who paid for the ghastly mistake - well, I wonder if that will not be our penance knowing we cannot make it up to them ... As far as civil rights - my feelings are even simpler. We have legislated as much as we can. The real solution is left with each and every individual. You cannot legislate tolerance - it must come from inside. We must teach our children- after all, "You've got to be taught to be afraid, of people whose eyes are oddly made, or people whose skin is a different shade . . . " Perhaps that will be our greatest responsibility in bringing up the next generation - teaching them tolerance and peacefulness - so that there never again has to be an age like this one. What the world needs now is love, sweet love - and if we don't find it fast, we may not have a chance to find it at •all. (Continued from Page 6) 142-Dennis Verzera (W) dee.

It was recen!ly announced by Dr. Eugene S. Farley that \:'~Ike~ Co~lege will be one of three Pennsylvania colleges parhc1patmg m a case study conducted by Pennsylvania State University concerning institutional response to the dynamics of educational change. Bob Capin The study, entitled "Institutional Response of Four-Ye ar Lib eral Arts Colleges to Student Pressures for Change," is under the dir ection of Hans Flexner, associate professor and chairman of high er education, and H erbert Aurbach, associate professor of education and sociology. To help facilitat e the workings of this group, Dr. Farley appointed a committee at Wilkes. This committee is composed of: Robert Capin, chairman; George Ralston, Art Hoover, Jane Lampe, Dan Kopen, Drew Gubanich, and Tom Kelly. These people are working in conjunction with the Pennsylvania State University group to supply it with interviews, information, and published materials. Through cor responde nce betw ee n Mr. Flexner and Wilkes College, the background of the study, its pur- pose, and research procedures were learned. The research on the study began a t Wilkes with a visitation by these two men last Friday. The men collec ted information and published materials. They plan to return this spring to hav e interviews with faculty, s tud ents, and administrators. It is the fee ling of this group that the presen t un rest in hi gher education has many dimensions, where the most visible are student demonstrations and revolts . It is also felt that th ese manifestations are of a more fundamental and complex phenom ena in our society. Some people view these demonstrations as social trends and institutional inadequacies reflected in unim aginative educational programs. Moreover, the character and goals of these diss en ters vary from orderly to disru ptive tact ics, to a b eli ef that a free uni versity is the answer to where there can be no free univ ersi ty in an unfree society. The background report to the case study also points out that where individual colleges and un iversities appear to have similar external a nd internal problems, their re actions to these problems are markedly different. On one hand, many of th e institutions cons id er thes e people as part of the problem of a crisis wh er e others consider students the vital se gmen t of American high er education. It was also lea rned that th e way individual institutions r espond to change is dep end ent upon a number of interrelated factors.

Michelini yesterday before the State Senate subcommittee hearings on real estate assessments and tax exemptions . As students may know, there has oeen considerable controversy in !he local community and th e Commonwealth of Pennsylvania co ncerning the taxation of hospitals, educatio nal institutions, and present tax -exe mpt properties held by churches and charitable organizations. Local municipalities faced with serio us problems of financing their local government servic es are limi!ed in ~heir legal powers to tax. Few resources are available to them other than real property tax which provides the bulk of tax income by local governments supplemen ted by various other resources such as wag e taxes , occupational privilege taxes, gross receipts business taxes, etc. Since real property as the tax base of a community co nstitutes the bulk of local tax income, exemptions from such taxes are coming in for increasing criticism. Recent court cases in Pittsburgh have struck down the challenge to such exemptions by declaring unconstitutional an ordinance that would hav e permitted the cit y of Pittsburgh to levy a tax on the gross receipts of hospitals. The court held that such an ordinance was not legal und er th e prese nt Pennsylvania State Constitution an d in the statute currently sup plementing the Constitution and providing for tax exe mption, the General County Assessment Law of House of Representatives to change the administration of real es tate tax assessments and tax exemption s.

Additional hearings were scheduled for Philadelphia this past week, and it is expected that h earings will be held in Harrisburg Feb . 5 and 6.

Under the first or the "p ubli c burden " standard, the exemption is justified on the ground that the organizatio n is assuming a public service which the government would hav e to ass ume if the exempt organization did not.

To the Editors: Acknowledqinq Students Lately, current terms heard on our campus include "cliches" such as misinformation , un informed , credibility gap, and communication gap. "Cliches" only in the respect that they have been heard so often and the re has been little attempt if any to correct these problems . For undoubtedly, they are problems . The students were told last week that they must be a little more patient. Patience is a virtue. Patience is a good thing, this is not to be disputed. But, many students should' stop being reminded that they should be patient and should be congratulated because they are. Here we have a student body of educated, industrious, free-thinking students who are writing proposals for things that many schools take for granted. Yet, we must be patient and be satisfiied to remain stagnant. Students show respect for their Administrators because they use "proper channels" and have been patient. They are willing to understand that the Administrators have other things to do besides consider a trivial open -housing proposal. Yet, the fact remains that talk of openhousing began last February, not this February, and that proposals have been submitted since October of this year. Students are told that they are disinterested in the "happenings" at Wilkes College. Many of them work, however, or have other outside activities. On the other hand, how many times have the Administrators visited the Com mons to have lunch and discuss things with students, or stop in a dormitory, or attend a class meeting? Students are showing their interest in the school by writing constructive proposals and waiting. And the Administrators are showing their interest by reading the proposals and making suggestions. Yet, the students must be patient. And the credibility, communication gap, misinformation, uninformed element still exists at Wilkes. What can be done? Maybe the time has come to acknowledge the students . With Manv Thanks The Beacon staff experienced one of journalism's worst nightmares last Mon day afternoon when we were informed by the printers that our copy had been lost or stolen. After putting in many long hours Sun day afternoon and evening, the realization that everything is gone causes a moment of sheer panic and despair. It is to the credit of a dedicated staff that ou r editors did not pause to ask questions which would waste time. Feeling as if we were putting out a daily edition , we plunged in to do again the entire issue. Mary Kazmierchak, Marlene Augustine, Mary Covine, Hedy Wrightson, George Pagliaro, and Pete Herbst all re-wrote their stories , then copyread and headlined them. Ronnie Lustig came up with new ad layouts, and Nancy Tubbs and Linda De Vaul efficiently typed everything that was thrown at them. Roy Hollabaugh and Caleb McKenzie trudged through the pouring rain to bring us rough drafts of their stories. George, Nancy, and Sally Donoho lugged heavy typewriters to the office (in the same pouring· rain) so that more people could type at one time. Mr. Moran, our advisor, joined in to type stories, help with headlines and supervise hectic page lay-outs . He cancelled his night class to leave his students free to help in the office - and Judy Tobin, one of his students who has not been a member of our staff, offered to come down to help out , rather than take advantage of the unexpected holiday from class. And so that we would not be famished, our advisor brought us some very welcomed salami sandwiches and cokes! But the help did not end there . We also want to acknowledge the help of Miss Lampe, who graciously called the girls' housemothers to arrange late curfews. Denny Brew and David Hoffman came down to see if there was anything two inexperienced friends could do to help us. Tom Grant offered us moral support something we needed at that point as much as we needed quick headlines. Jay Goldstein informed us that the Student Government coffee-pot was free for our use if we found it hard to keep awake. Later Jay and Dr. Michelini came to the office with doughnuts and milk. All this sounds small on paper - but in the face of disaster, it's heartwarming to know that a good-neighbor policy does exist. We are proud to have such a loyal staff and friends. With many thanks, this issue is dedicated to them . Due to the vain attempts of concerned students who have been ing to achieve some progress in changing the present grading system a pass-fail system, I would like to offer an alternate suggestion. would be along the same lines as the present one, with the excep that instead of flat 2's or 3's, etc., students would be given the co grades they earned in that semester's tests, which would be an extension of our system . ~t Since teachers usually mark tests on percentages or by other means such as 3.3 or 2.7, I think this practice should be carried out in computing the final averages and cumulative averages. For example, a student who receives grades of 2, 2, 3, 2, and 2 in one semester's courses in the present system would receive a final ave rage of 2.2 for that semester. These grades show no indication of the true capabilities and, above all, the true accomplishments of the student. I suggest that teachers give th e student the exact grade he receives, that is, with reference to the previously mentioned marks, 2.4, 2.5, 3.5, · 2.7, a nd 2.7. These grades average to 2.76, which is the more co rrect average of the student's work, rather than the 2.2 he would receive under the system now in effect. When a student receives a 2 or a 3 in a course, it does not show whether it was a high or low C or B. Under my suggested system, this would be indicated. This system would give students a better chance in their academic careers in which so much emphasis is placed on grades , instead of degrading their accomplishments as has been done. Perhaps this is why it has not been tried. It may be that students are not supposed to have a fair chance and receive what they deserve and actually do get even though their official grades don't show it. But eve n though it may be fair, and it would · give everyone a better chance of improving their academic standing, I think it should be tried. · tleacclf J [ccncrnic P,-c,nptJ j,.ate ~t(ltt To the Editors: I am writing this letter in re to the Beacon's financial status. cording to previously pub · figures, Student Government ted the Beacon $11,500 for the l 1970 school year.

Now, I realize that most dedicated American college students recoil in horror and disclaim any knowledge of such a dreadful thing! But for those of yo u who are willing to relax principles in the interests of a good grade, I am passing alon g some time-honored techniques. The first step in the process begins with your note-taking techniques. To really impress a prof, I suggest that you sit in the front of the lec ture hall diligently writing away - to demonstrate graphically that you r ealize the value of the words of wisdom popping out of his mouth . He need never know that you have just completed a letter to dear Aunt Mildred! All h e knows is that you have been writing frantically, covering reams of paper. This techn ique can be taken a step further. When the last bell has rung, pause and write a few more hurried lines. The prof will notice you sitting there trying to put down those last few words he rushed to say in those last 30 seconds. Maureen Klaproth Another approach that always se ems to work, is to ask questions. However, it is best to realize that this is more delicate ground. In asking a question ,- you are always taking a chance that the prof won't know the answer. When this nightmare occurs, you can be sure h e will feel embarrassed. Your grade will go down in dir ect proportion to his embarrassment. Now, there are several ways to assure that such moments do not occur. First of all , find out if yo ur prof has p ublished anything. If so, run out and find a dusty copy somewhere, and compose your qu es tion from a point he made. This assures you that he is a t leas t vagu ely fa miliar with the material. (Only vaguely, because profs are notoriously absent-minded , even about their own stuff!) If you want a few extra points adde d on to your extra points, make certain you m en tion his work of gen ius in front of the class . Yo ur grade will go up in direct proportion to the insecurity of his ego . Exhibit At Conyngham The student exhibit now on display at the Conyngham Annex Gallery is composed of work don e by first year oil painting students. Th e exhibit generally shows a lack of individual techn,i que; but some paintings seem to succeed in dev eloping estab li sh ed styles. The overabundance of "still life ", is und erstandabl e in a first year course, and not as totally regretable as their constant appearances in Senior exhibits. Some of the paintings have a certain life and knowl e dg e of the m edi a which th e artist has succeeded in genera ting. "Charity," by Clarence Hoffner has a fine quality of d esign , and does an admirable job of resurrecting a "pop art" theme. Another painting, "A ft er Dark" , by Maria Grizzuti, shows a firm knowledge of co lor. The choice of pigments and their application show a definitely promising direc tion for Miss Grizzuti's work. It is the opinio n of this reviewer that this show shows an exce llent beginning for th e students; but it is hoped that their work will continue.Th at way it ma y again b e reviewed for personal statement as well as technical awareness.

Th e betHarry Davis. ter your concen tra tion , the better the impression you mak e as a consci entio us student. Th ere is another factor involved in seeing teac h ers. If you ar e a girl, th e height of yom grade may rise in direct proportion to the h eight of yo ur skirt. If yo u're a m a le of th e species, you'll probably find better fock dealing with women teachers . It doesn 't take a very de ep un derstanding of fe mi nine nature to know that the dear old spinster you hav e for English wi ll listen more kindly to your pleas for fairer marking, if you first notic e ho w fl attering her ha irdo is . And if you must go to a male teac her , don't appear as a chain-smokin g, long-haired, bell-bottomed arrogant hippie, unless of course, he is! Now suppos e it is the end of the semester and yo u hav e faithfully followed th e tec hniqu es d esc ribed above , an d hav e thrown in a fe w of yo ur own ideas for good m easure. You flunked out anyway. [That's one of th e funny things about brownie-ing te chniqu es - th ey rare ly work if you happen to fa il every exa m.) But don 't despair - yo u sti ll hav e seve ral alternatives left. You can try a last-minu te plea - telling the prof how yo ur grandmother died (unless yo u a lread y told h im that when you didn't ha nd in your term paper], how your brother just join ed a hippi e commune in New Mexico, how your draft numb er is 1 2, and you've be en trying to find yourself among all the irreleva n ces of college. [And hope the prof did not find you at the basketball game last night!] If that do es not work, yo u still have several alternatives. You can commit hari- kari, like a Japanes e student, to preserve your honor. If you 're not Japan ese, yo u can always join yo ur brother in th e hippie co mmun e in New Mexico. You can join VISTA and do yo u r "thing" for mankind. (But don't lose yo ur h ead and jo in the Marines - that's what you came to college to avoid, remember?) If VISTA's not yo ur bag, yo u can always marry money, or at least someone who has mon ey. Now I know you are an all-American, clean-l iving, fr eck le-face d co llege student, who wouldn ' t dream of marryin g for anything but love.

Rather than laud or dispraise the costumes, camera angles, direc to rs, and players, and compare their current styles with the ir previous ones ; I pause to remind you that Nixon Agnew & Co . are still playing games with our lives. The lesser but far more important of the two films presented was a Vietnam documentary. It offered no opinions on the war; it simply prese n ted the war, whi ch this writer found to be a glimpse of cynical inhumanity, beyond comm ent. It r eminded m e of a Manuscript story from last year written by Jack Jar ecki, Editor of the Wyoming Valley Fre e Press . His story was one of war. It begins and ends with id entically worded paragraphs . Similiarly, th e scenes from the docum entary could hav e been shown in any order without making any diff erence . One could view almost first hand, the efficiency of the med-eva c crews. The Pentago n spokesmen, in the ir endless swaggering are quick to po int out that the sold ier wounded in Vi et nam can often b e on an operating table quicker than h e could if h e were wounded in the states. It is unkind, how ever, to ask them wh y Americans are getting wounded in Vietnam at all. The movi e also shows the human e side [th e "rea l" side) of our fighting men. Administering first aid at refugee camps, (again, unkind to ask why eve n there are refug ee camps,) being good guys with the civilians, and even h_elping to d eliver a bab y, something which makes one wonder how the people of Southeast Asia ever managed to have babies without us. Most soldiers believe they are in Vi e tnam through no fault of their own, and they know that they aren 't rea ll y bad guys, they unfortunately are made to by powers beyond their co n trol, look that way. Overall the movie brings to light what can be best summed up b y M,1ry McCarthy 's suggestive line of United States involveme n t when 3h e d escribed it as "Uncle Sam w ith candy in his pockets . .. " A pair of amusing mini-operas were performed last Friday night at the Wilkes College Center for th e Performing Arts. The operas proved to be full of hijinks and humor. The first of the two offerings was a brief operatic spoof written by modern composer Gail Kubick, "Bosto n Bak ed Beans ". This opera had its debut at the New York Mu· seum of Modern Art in 1952. Since it is the story of Clementine and how she "got her man, " it employs the song "Clementine" as its main theme, bu t into the score are interpolated strains of melodies from sources such as Beethoven's "Fifth Symphony," Rimsky-Korsakov'1 " Scheherazade" and the song "Mo onlight Serenade ." Directed by Richard Chapline of the Wilkes Music Department, the opera employed a small orchestra conducted b y Richard Probert an starred Rita Singer in the role o Clementine and Rob ert Graham· the role of John Harvard. The second piece, quieter style, ne vertheless gave one som thing to think about. Entitl "Many Moons" by Celius Doughe ty, adapted from material by Jam Thurber, it tells of Princess Leno (Arlene Kuni gel], who wants h father the ki ng [Dennis English), t give her the moon.

The gro up was consisten good, vocally, highlighted by due trios and choruses. Ann Barn accompanied at the piano. There is enjoyment in seeing P formances, to be sure, but e more fun attending previews dress rehearsals. The real fun, ii obvious , is in the process of forming, as pro ve d by these Ii colleg ians.

M. Augustine Pretty Student From Iran Adjusting to Campus Lile On one hand she looks like any other pretty college coed running around in m ini-skirts , cramming for chemistry exams, primping her hairdo for a photo, and joining gabfests with her dorm-sisters . On the other hand, she is a petite Moslem who has traveled halfway around the world - yet still looks as if she would fit into the Arabian Nights. Actually Flora Najafi fits somewhere in the middle as East meets West. The 19-year-old freshman calls Tehran, Iran, home. Already she has spent a year in the United States, so she is at ease in her student rol e, and is candid in h er opinions on both Iran and h er temporarily adopted home . She came to the U.S. last February, and spent the first months in Washington D.C. studying English. Her first semester at Wilkes, she lived with the Clements Solinsky family in Wilkes-Barre. Their daughter, Deborah, is a student at the college. In Janu ary, she moved into Emerson Hall, in order to experience college dormitory life. A conversation with Flora may cover many topics, for her command of English is excellen t. She explains that she studied English in high school for six years, but that she did not take the subject too seriously at the time. However, it is now a matter of course for h er to pick up an English novel to read. Father and Sons by Turgenev is her most recent favorite, but she confesses that she has always favored novels by French and Russian authors. She has settled into the American pattern of life easily, but admits that some things take time to get used to. Her father is a Suprem e Court judge in T ehran . Her tightly knit family consisted of her parents, a brother, Faade, 10, and a sister, Farideh, 21, who is now in London stud ying nursing. Flora finds the family circle weaker in this country. She was amazed to hear children -arg uin g with their parents, and living their own lives. "And here you tell things to your best friend . At home we talk to our mother or sister about everything," she added. She quickly dispels many of our antiquated ideas abou t Iran. "There are not camels walking down the streets of our city," she tells listeners. "Your co n ceptions of Persia are outdated - we are a modern country." According to Flora, the main differences between citi es are ones in architecture. Iranian buildings usually have flat roofs and are built of stone or cement rather than NOTICE New Beacon office hours have een schedul ed and will be Monays 11 a.m. - 3 p .m., Tuesdays 1 a.m. - 3 p.m. and Wednesdays at 11 a.m. Any questions and phone calls will be answered during these times.

She finds Americans in general very friendly and helpful. "You hav e to realize that there are good people and bad people everywh ere, and you ca nno t judge a whole nationality on the basis of just a few people. Americans go out of their way to help you - and they are very curious about other people's customs," she went on. "When I first came to Wilkes, I wanted to wear a sign saying who I was and where I came from, becaus e I would have to answ er the same questions ten times a day. But then I realize that people were just being nice to me." Flora is one dorm student who has no complaints about the "caf" food. She exp lains that Americans are used to home-cooked food, and, :.J □ fl □ :J □ 0 □ □ □□ -1 :J'.J:J O 'J O □ Cl:J □O '.J:J □ O:JJ"J7 r:J'.JQ 7:J :J'.J'.J □□ m:m □ □ : I PIZZA CASA 24 PUBLIC SQUARE, WILKES-BARRE Restaurant-Cocktail Lounge Spoclallzln1 In Home Made lt1ll1n Foods . . therefore, are fussier about the fare . "But it is all new to me, so I like it!", sh e said. She enj oys American films, and lists Romeo and Juliet as her favorite - though she had difficulty understanding the Shakesp earean dialogue. But her favorite actor is French, not American - Alain DeIon. Dating customs are different in Iran. Girls usually date men who are at least ten years older, because a man is expected to b e established in business before he considers marriage. It is common for 18 yearold girls to marry men of 30 or 35 . Flora is a Moslem, and finds some hum or in the diffi culties involved in trying to practice her r eligion in this country. Follow ers of Islam are expected to pray fiv e times a day, and must be clean from head to toe to do so. During the sacred month of Ramadan, Moslems must fast from sunrise to sunset. Two days during this mon th are mo st important, but Flora b ecame ill trying to follow her customs in her new environm ent. Flora is not sure what th e futur e holds. If she is successful with her chemistry major, she would like to pursue a master's degree.

Al Zelner, wrestling at 167, recorded his seventh pin in eight tries as he stacked up FDU's Dom Colaluce in 3 :33.

Highly rated Wagner came into town Wednesday and got just what they expected for a little over a half as the Colonels made several glaring mistakes, shot poorly, and showed little enthusiasm on the boardt Led by record shattering forward Ray Hodge, the Seahawks pressed Wilkes all over the floor and converted several Colonel turnovers into easy layups . Coach Rainey went to his bench early and often in an attempt to find a combination that would stem the tide, but his moves proved unsuccessful as the Seahawks coasted to a 56-32 halftime lead. The second half started out as a continuation of the first as the Seahawks easily solved Wilkes' full court press and increased their lead to 30 points early in the vespor session. All of a sudden, the Colonels began putting it all together. With Jay Reimel and Billy Crick harassing opposing ballhandlers, Wally Umbach finding the range and Herb Kemp and Rich Davis doing yeoman work on the boards the Colonels began to diminish the Wagner lead. The Seahawks began to panic and subsequently began to throw the ball away, miss easy appearance. shots, and foul up defensive assignments. The result was that with just eight minutes gone in the second half, the Colonels were back in the two foul shots. Kemp was the twenties with 21 points on ball game .

The NCAA should use its powers for the protec tion of the young men who are playing collegiate sports. It should protect them from colleges that step out of line, from recru iters who step out of bounds, and from unscrupulous promoters, eager for a piece of the actio n. But the NCAA's recent act ions against Yale University are completely indefensible. The NCAA put Yale on probation for two years because it permitted Jack Langer, a basketball player, to participate in the Maccabiah Games in Tel Aviv last summer. Then when Langer was declared ineligible this fall, Yale continued to us e him in basketball games. Consider this . The NCAA p ermi tted athChuck Lengle letes to participate in the Macc abiah Games, which are sort of a Jewish Olympics. Only basketball was singled out as ineligible for American participants . Yale, a school of high principles, decided to ignore the NCAA ban and allowed Langer to go. This done, the school felt it could not in all honesty forbid the young man to play with the Eli cagers this year. The Maccabiah Gamers were sanctioned by the Internation al Olympic Committee, higher sanction than the NCAA co uld give an yway. The Eastern College Athletic Conferenc e, an eastern arm of the NCAA and the largest conference in the country, was the first to put pressure on Yale. The ECAC is large enough to embra ce sc hools like Penn State and the Ivy League schools along with the likes of W,i._lkes, Scranton, East Stroudsburg and most of the state colleges and Middle Atlantic Conference Schools. The ECAC backed down from its pressure on Yale but the NCAA lowered the boom. The ECAC is still considering action . Ordinarily, probation would be relatively meaningless to an Ivy League school. Probation means a school can't participate in national championships. The Ivies haven't been too deadly in mo st national championships. BUT, Yale has one of the finest swimming teams in the land and has enjoyed this success for many years . The Elis always rank among the top five in national swim competition. Now . becaus e of the NCAA ruling, they can 't compete. Yale was wrong only in defying an irrational and indefensible NCAA edict. Should the colleges and the athletes be able to protest. such edicts? Perhaps · it is tim e for a complete overhaul of the NCAA's executive board . The NCAA exists for its members. If schools sho uld start to drop away, the NCAA would collapse. As the fight continues, the local colleges may be called upon to take a stand, either in the ECAC or the NCAA . We urge them, Wilkes, King 's, Scranton, and the like, to support Yale and the Ivy League position on this. Any less would make them no better than the NCAA. In fact, the three local schools, acting in concert, co ul d start a mov ement within the ECAC or the NCAA that co uld have the probation rescinded . The NCAA should not be permitted to take its squabble with the AAU this far. Ordinarily, we fee l government intervention in athletics is a bunch of nonsense stirred up by a pu blicity-conscious co ngressma n. But thi s time, if the colleges fail to act on their own behalf, a congressional investigation, already called for, is in order. The University of Texas rece'ntly announced that Jimmy Stre e t, star quarterback for the Longhorns, has dropped all his co urses. This action was announced six days prior to finals. "He was so far beh ind in his work he felt he had not done justice to them," said Lan Hewlett, intercollegiate athletics counselor who is known better as the Longhorns' "brain coach ." Hewlett a lso acknowledged that "he has a speaking enga ge ment nearly every night." Street said he had "about a C-plus average going into th e fall semes ter. He was afraid that being behind in his work mi ght ca us e him to "mess up" on a final and ruin his chance to play baseball. Hewlett said Street has statem ents on file with us from all four of his teachers that at the time of h is withdrawal he was passing. The courses Street dr opped were in accounting, insurance , real esta te, and statistics. Since Street was PROBABLY receiving financial aid in so me form or another, we wonder if this makes the crack signal-caller a "p-r ofessional" by today's standards . If this is what is necessary to make a grid team number one in th e nation , they can have it . . . lock, stock, and barrel! * * * * * The Sunday Independent's eastern collegiate wrestling poll has placed the Colonel matmen ninth behind such schools as Navy, Penn State, and Army.

S lowly, the n ecessity for including education in all plans for redeve lopment was recognized. As region al leaders sought to attract modern industries, they were made aware that new technological industries depended upon education. Recognizing that sound educa tional institutions contribute to the creation and maintenance of a vi able, vigorous and progressive community, industrial leaders of the region have encouraged the growth of their existing colleges. In consequence of their support offered by personal friends and industrial leaders, the six independent colleges of Northeastern Pennsylvania have enlarged their services and improved their work. They have received much from their friends and have contributed much to the regional renaissance. They have enriched the area by their cultural, practical and academic in fluences.

A second avenue 'that might be explored is some reimbursement by the State to local municipalities for real estate assessments lost fo r tax purposes by virtue of their exemp· tion, yet providing services of bene· fit to the State. For example, utili· ties now pay taxes on their gross receipts. These taxes are placed upon gross receipts rather than upon property because utilities serve th e people of a vast area in many municipalities. Unfortunately, these taxes are not shared with the mu· nicipalities as they should be. The liquid fuels tax is a tax on gasoline and fuels used by motor vehicles in the Commonwealth and is shared with communities to assist in the maintenance of roads that traverse these local communities and use their land space. Vario us /ormolu could be envisioned for reimbu ment to local municipalities by t state or federal government I land area that is removed from sessment rolls because of servi offered by these institutio ns in I public interest.

Tax exemption see m s like a very small price to pay for this return. However, we would be less than honest if we did not view the ac tual tax burdens that m u st be borne by the municipality and the logic of its dilemma with respect to limited real property for tax purposes. This problem obviously cannot be solved by assessing already financially burdened private institutions that are serving in the public interest, as politically attractive as this course of action m ay be. The problem requires a to tal reoriPnta tion of the basic tax structure. A core city such as Wilkes -Barre which covers eight square miles, in effect provides e du ca tional, reli gious and comme r cial resources that serve the entire regio n of 21 municipalities , yet it cannot levy taxes on those m un icipalities to as sist in the support of th e core city.

This editorial was suggested by the Council of Deans in an attempt to quell the many rumors abounding on this Campus, and to explain to the student body why some things do not just happen on the suggestion of the student. Many students are laboring under the misapprehension that because something is not discussed and passed at the first meeting at which it is proposed, it means the Deans do not want it and are deliberately stalling. This is not so. The Deans suggest that students take each proposal that has been suggested and ask what has become of it. We suggest that until you have your facts straight it is best to withhold judgment - and especially refrain from rash promises to take over the Administration building! That cute little trick will only prove one thin,g: that students do not have the maturity to handle more responsibility! .. f We pause to wonder what would happen if Congress got frustrated in the process of trying to pass legislation and gave the President ultimatums. Suppose it threatened to take over the White House unless they were pacified? It has been remarked several times by students that the current proposals under consideration are Student Government's one last chance to accomplish things through proper channels. May we remind our childish peers that our student governing bodies are our only chance to accomplish those things we ask! Look at the current proposals one by one: 1. Un limited class cuts: Why didn't you look in the new Bulletin to see that the policy has been reworded to state that class attendance is "expected"? That's a far cry from " required." 2. Calendar changes: The proposal is to end the first semester and final exams by the Christmas break. However, the committee has problems to iron out before this can be put into effect. If the semester begins on September 2, what happens to the students who are denied summer jobs which stipulate .. that .. employment . must .. run through Labor Day? If the semester ends on December 23, students would be unable to take Christmas jobs. And if the second semester schedule is changed, it will be difficult to coordinate transfer students from other schools. These con siderations are all for the students, because frankly, the Administration and faculty want the calendar changed! 3. Mandatory oral final exams: How do they solve the dilemma of a prof with a large Lit. lecture trying to administer oral examinations? Aside from these academic proposals, there are social proposals under consideration: 1.. Parking: This constant dilemma was put into the hands of the students. It was suggested that a committee approach the parking cammission requesting special student rates. So far, no student action has been taken. 2. Open housing: This is the biggest thorn of all, because so many rumors allowed to develop. The proposal has not been killed or stalled. After its first pre. sentation at the December 23 Administration Council meeting, it was sent back to Student Government with a request for a further proposal on the governance of open housing. The revised proposal (which suggests sign-in sheets) was received by the Deans the Thursday before registration. Because their offices were literally overrun before, during, and registration by students like yourselves who were asking for help with schedule revision, special problems, or trying to get back into school, it was impossible for the Deans to touch the proposal. Are we so unreasonable that we expect them to take action during the most hectic days in any dean's schedule? Two other · proposals, off-campus housing and curfew revision, are also under consideration. Contrary to popular belief, they have not died in the dusty corners of someone's desk. They are the subjects of very lively discussion as these Administrators try to probe the pros and cons, and find the difficulties that may be encountered if and when they are put into effect. There is no need to place blame on anyone. Our student leaders have worked diligently to write and submit proposals, and have put in many hours WHY CONSIDER?

He has very nearly won. ·~ supplemented by many awards, he continues to be a student worthy of recognition here at Wilkes. Aside from holding the fine cumulative average of 2.94, Bill has served as vice-president of his Fresh.man Class, I:D .C. representative of Warner House for two years, and was chosen Youth of the Month in February, 1968 by the Optimists of the West Shore Harrisburg Area. Many people might feel his accomplishments stem from what they consider his inability to participate in physical activities. They could not be more wrong, for at just about the time Bill was removing his braces, he was learning to dance. On t)le advice of his speech therapist, Bill went to the Arthur Murray Dance Studio in Harrisburg (where his therapist was taking !es~ sons) and showed the instructors at the studio some material his therapist had taught him. Having been sufficiently impressed with his ability, the studio offered him 25 free lessons which he readily accepted. Struggling at first, Bill gradually began proving himself to the point where the studio agreed to give him lessons as long as he showed up for them. He is now on his silver standard at the studio, and going strong. Having replaced therapy and learned enjoyment, Billy credits dancing with having "had as much of a mental effect . . . as it has a physical effect, because it has taught me how to meet people and get along with them." Meet him! It is a refreshing and rewarding experience. Q Born in Wilkes-Barre, Billy spent first nine years here before ving to Harrisburg. He began rapy when he was 18 months , but could not walk without , such as braces, canes and high oes, until he was 10. Today he ries a full course load which ps him constantly on the go.

The 1960's proved once ,ain that the police department is e only dividing line between the vilized and uncivilized society. el, the idiots who take over col·ies, and smoke marijuana, pot, ·d LSD don ' t realize this! I am roud, therefore, to extend praise our police deaprtment, praise leyso well deserve. We live in troubled times. Even lilkes-Barre h as had a few prob1ms. A li ttl e girl was shot down in lestreet; a coed was attacked out'de a college building; prowlers morize girls ' dormitories without .1ar of capture. Our Brave Men In ,lue are hard-pressed . Even if they ·an't cope with some of these prob.ms, they try to work on them, ·en so. Despite this tremendous urden, nothing escapes their eye ; infraction, no m a tt er how trivial accepte d by society, will be tolated. Their treatment of the Wilkes 35 " a month ago was a e example of their businesslike proach to th eir jobs. On the nigh t of December 13th, epolice h ad their hands full. The .ores we re staying open late, meone was ne eded to direct traf. in the Square, and all the coffee ops were closing down early which eliminated many of th e pocemen's b eats) . To add to that, imes were also being committed . \ car ran into a utility pole, and ·ur people were injured. A numer of youths were making a public "sturbanc e ' by running through the treets. A car's windshield was ashed. But when the Christmas :arty was discovered at Miners !ills, they did not shrink from leir duty, but swarmed, guns at le ready, into the fray . The result: ~ hippy fr eaks were brought to istice. The fines and the police 1cord [which they will carry for the rest of their lives) should teach them a good lesson. As a member of this community, I feel the police deserve a pat on the back for their valiant efforts . With their help we may one day be able to get the cruds out of college, and in the prisons where they belong. And I stand beside the officer who slapped one of the scum around. If more parents followed his example, there would be less long-haired queers walking our beautiful city streets. It is my beilef that these few dupes have learned that we do not tolerate non-conformity in this valley, and will be better people for it. They have also learned that the impartiality of the Wilkes-Barre city courts is surpassed only by their m ercifulness . Sincerely yours, TommyYodo, Chairman, T.O.K.

Tromped to death by those who depend upon the oxygen given so freely by th e very blades of grass in the lawn! What a sad, sad example of man 's inhumanity to the environment! Hear th e cry of Stephani Mills, 22-year-old crusader against making more p eople to walk on more lawns, "Less motherhood and more brotherhood!" And listen to the wail of that well-known ecologist, POGO, "We have met the enemy and he is us." Happy New Year, C. B. Reif Program Study In Preparation Of Evaluation Page 3 on oth€U campus€s by Ron Jacobs The final stages of preparation for the case study to be conducted at the College April 12-15 are now in operation. Wilkes takes pride in being the only four-year liberal, non-denominational institution invited by the Middle States Association to participate in a case study in the spring of this year. Urilike an accreditation case study whose sole purpose is to evaluate a college, the type of case study to be conducted here concedes that the College is doing a commendable job in handling its problems, and is an educational effort to gain a better insight on how this is being accomplished. Three basic areas will be examined in the study. The first of these is the relationship of the administrative and faculty structure to curriculum innovation and interdisciplinary program planning. The second topic concerns the liberal arts core curriculum, its relevance to contemporary knowledge, and the contributions of the interdisciplinary course initiated at th e College (e.g., the environmental science program) . The final avenue of interest centers around the development of graduate programs at th e College based on the caliber of undergraduate curricula, and the importance of interinstitutional cooperation in graduate program formation . During the course of the case study, seminars will be held regarding these subjects. The College professes that the students are directly involved in these matters under circumspection, in that surely the decisions made will affect them in some way, that they should have a voice in the panel discussions along with the case study participants and faculty. This will be a precedent for future case studies since it will mark the first time that s tu dent panelists will enter in to discussions in the non-student affairs area. The Middle States Steering Committee is currently immersed in th e preparation of background papers. These papers explain th e programs of the college which are scheduled to be discussed and deal with why the programs were begun, how they op erate, and what results they have yielded to date. The case study participants will have these pap ers sent to th em prior to their visit, and they will s erve as excellent brie'fin g material so that discussions at the seminars can commence without d elay. Memb ers of the Steering Committee are George Elliot, Owen Faut, Benjamin Fiester , Francis Michelini, Ralph Rozelle, and students Dave Lombardi and Ross Piazza. By December 10 all d rafts of the background papers ha.d to b e submi tt ed to th e commi ttee. These were revi ewed by the members and on January 10 the pape rs came out of committee whence they are available to all for inspection. Copies are at th e library and students are invited to read them over and are encouraged to add their critical comments and make suggestions for possible r evision. Beginning February 10, the committee considers the suggestions made and th e papers are r ewritten . Finally on March 10, the pap ers are sent to th e case study participants. The overall schedule for these participants , besides including the s eminars, also encompasses review s essions, luncheons , and p eriods during which each participant mor e or less has a free rei gn and can met with any one of th e committees on campus. by George Pagliaro WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY students may soon find language requirements easie-r to cope with. Those students who are not language majors may elect Programmed French [later to include other languages) which will differ from regular French in emphasis, independent study and utilization of the language in the individual student's major field . In a time when students cry for more relevance in college curricula, WVU is making a fine attempt to provide relevant courses. In attempt to overcome what has come to b e called the "impersonal system" of the large universities, l'HE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN has formed a Student Counseling Office at its College of Literature, Science, and the Arts . It is an office which, in the words of Dr. James A. Shaw, assistant dean of th e college, is "a way of formalizing th e grapevine, of making it mor e visible and accessible to all literary college students." The office maintains "a loos e relationship with the faculty counseling offices in the hope that students will feel freer to talk about their problems with their peers, who know have the connections with th e faculty to try and alleviate them. " KNOX COLLEGE in Galesburg, Illinois, has established an Experimental College based on the concept that "learning should be exciting, that it should be a group activity, and that it should be unforced and pursued for its . own sake." Courses are offer ed fr ee of cost and they carry no credit. There are no grades . Class es may start and end at any tim e. They may meet an ywher e and th ey may di e from lack of interes t at any tim e. Surprisingly enough, th e courses the EC offers ar e not all "esoteric or artsy-craftsy," but include such valuable cours es as Italian and Midwest Indian cul ture. These courses are not offer ed in th e r egular KNOX curriculum. KNOX's EC may well be on th e road to interes ting the s tu den ts it teach es rath er than drilling th em in traditional te chniques . Students of the UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISCO recently gav e tan gible support to civil rights. Passing the measure by a vote of 1,070 to 230, the und ergraduat es have a greed to pay an extra $5 with their registration fees for the spring sem ester. The money will provid e funds for the Father John F. X. Connolly Minority Stud ent Scholarship Program. The $15,000 raised from the 3,000-plus stud ents at th e university will allow students of minority groups to attend school fully awar e th a t their fellow students ar e th e ones that wanted them th er e. I feel the changes that h ave b een cited on other campuses should p r ove one important thing to th e American college student : change for its own sake is me anin gless. Change with a constructive purpose is far more r ewarding than ch ang e which destroys and waits for ideas on how to rebuild.

Thanks, Ed ; incidentally, you 've h elp ed to prevent my accumulating some personal data on children's behavior in father-absent homes! Sincerely, Pat Pisoneschi by Ron Jacobs Because of the actions of an unscrupulous minority of stud ents, a traditional 23-year-old policy of the Wilkes College ' library, a policy based on a total trust of the library us er, will imminently be dissolved. In the past there h ave never been any preventive measures installed, either of a human or mechanical sort, to combat those individuals who fla grantly remove books from the library without checking them out. There will, however, in th e n ear futur e, be automatic devices set up to avert such violations. The decision to remedy the present situation was one which was arrived at only after a considerable amount of conscientious deliberation. The faculty Library Committee together with the library staff have considered various deterrent systems and have sent memoranda to the Administration urging that something should definitely be done. Student Governm ent has also played an active role in advocating change. Representatives from various companies h ave arrived on campus and have presented their mechanical safeguard systems. Though each system differs somewhat, they are all based more or less on the same principle. Every book is chemi cally treated and mechanisms installed at the exits are able to detect those books which have n ot been checked out. These detection systems have their origin in department stores as a means of inhibiting shoplifters. In the field of library use, th ey are only in their infancy. Though each system has its inherent · flaws, they are all constantly being improved. The possibility of using human agents instead of mechanical apparati was also considered but later abandoned because of practical reasons. During the last 10 minutes of each hour an average of 60 students leave the library to go to their classes. Since every student would have to be checked, it would be virtually impossible for them all to arrive in class on time. A human agent system would call for the employm ent of two and one-h alf fulltime people, 14 hours a day, seven European Jobs Being Offered Brooks Thanked For Deed To the editors: library Book losses Continuing; Mechanical Help Now Being Sought NOTICE Poetry is a message, a whisper of secret dreams, or a mock.

The specific mechanical system which is eventually chosen will be permanently committed to. This is one of the primary reasons that extensive analysis of each method is taking place. Also, there will be a time lapse between adoption of a system and its initiation. This is attributed to the fact that each of the approximately 100,000 books in the library will have to be treated. Whatever particular system is decided up on, its cost will range from $10-$15,000 per year either directly or indirectly. The ex pense will b e footed by the students themselves. Mrs. Nada Vujica, head librarian, regrets that th e enactment of such an expe nsive meas ur e must be undertaken, because of what she terms a small minority of selfish students . She stated that the loss incurred by the library because of " disapp earing" books cannot be measured in actu a l doll ars, but rather in the inconveni ence which is caus ed. Often a student will remov e a book which he needs for a long-term ass ignment without ch eckin g it out, keep it until he has co mpl eted the assignment, and then surr eptitious ly return it several months later. Though no monetary lo ss has occurred, other s tu den ts who ma y have needed the book for th eir assignments have been unfairly -deprived and inconvenienced. Past ventures in which a day was Stud ents can work this summer in the forests of Germany, on co nstruction in Austria, on farms in Germany, Sweden and Denmark, on road construction in Norway, in industries in France and Germany, in hotels in Switzerland. These job s, as well as jobs in Ireland, England, France, Italy and Holland, are open by the co nsent of th e governments of these countries to American university students going to Europe next summer. For several years students mad e their way across the Atlantic • through A.E.S. Service to take part in the actual life of the people of these co untri es. The success of this projec t has ca used a great deal of enthusiastic interest and support both in America and Europe . Th e purpose of this program is to affor d the student an opportunity to get into living contact with the people and customs of Europe. In this way, a concrete effort can be made to learn something of the culture of Europe. In return for his or her work, the student will receive room and board, plus a wage .

Mrs. Vu· jica commented that the situation at the College is by no mean; unique. Book losses plague all Ii· braries ranging from private schools · to large universities, r~ gardless of the intricacy of the detection systems involved. Ultimate· ly, the ideal not to destroy anoth· er's property must be a part of a student's ethical code. Mrs. Vujica also pointed out thi many students have the rniscon· ception that because they cannot find a book they are looking for. the book must be already checked out. This is not always the case. The particular work may have been inadvert ently shelved in the wroni place. There is likewise the possi· bility that it may be found in one of the study carrells, since students the carrells rather than reshelre them. Perhaps the book is being r~ bound or is on reserve. Then of course, it could be that the library does have the sought· for book.

We alternately suggested selling Beacon subscriptions (and junked t idea because our feelings would be hurt if no one wanted to buy em), holding a dance, creating a babysitting agency, selling the old cons for rags, or framing them as souvenirs from the past.

An added inspiration was to rent our Beacon office for the rties so we could clean up both ways. That desperate measure was toed as disloyal to our fellow students.

The Colonels are now 6-7 on the campaign and are 3-6 in the MAC. With the Amazing Mets as world champion3 of baseball and al· tendance on the rise in the nation's pastime, ex-St. Louis star Curt Flood had to come around and spoil things by suing baseball. Specifically, he is seeking the abolishment of th e reserve clause in a player's contract which binds a player to the club with which he signs fo"r life. The club has the righ t to fire a player during the season or the off-season, trade him, or drop him to th e minor leagues. In short, the club has complete and sole contro l over a player for as long as he wishes to play in or· ganized baseball [the major and minor leagues). Mr. Flood wants the reserve clause abolished. "I won't be bought Saturday night's encounter at Doylestown saw the Colonels spurt to a quick 8-0 lead in and sold like cattle. I am not a piece of property. After 12 years in baseball, it is not my rights as a ballplayer I am the first two minutes of play. Del Val quickly called a time out in an attempt to halt the surgchallenging; .it's . my rights as a human ing Wilkesmen.

By this time, the Aggies had r egaine d their composure and the Colonels had lost some of their early imp etus. This res ult ed in Del Val slowly chipping away at the Wilkes lead. With 7:52 remaining in the half and Wilkes up by one, 22-21, Coach Rain ey called a time out and switched the Colonels from a manto-man lo a 3-2 zone defense. The mo ve proved immediately success ful as Dave Kurosky and Wally Umbach co mbin ed to put the Colonels ah ead 27-21 with five anc} a h alf minutes to go in the half.

Both teams failed to score for the next minute and a half until Bob Mcintee picked off an errant Colonel pass, drove the length of the floor and laid it in to dent the Aggie lead . The final score was Del Val 72, Wilkes 54. Monday night the Colonels put it a ll together and emerged with a 77 _67 win over East Stroudsburg, which halted the Colonels' four game losing streak.

Coach Reese ec hoed his captain's feelings: " I'm not worried about Millersvi ll e at all. " Flood has the backing of the Players As• sociation and has retained the services nf form er Supreme Court Justice Arthur Gold· berg. The owners, however, feel otherwise. They claim without the reserve clause baseball wou ld collapse. The purpose of the clause it to prevent a team from stockpiling the best ballplayers by offering higher sal· aries . The poorer clubs would then not be able to compete on an equal level. However, other sports, primarily football, do not have the reserve clause. Professional Pete Herbst football is currently enjoying its "Golden Years" with a substitute for the res erve clause. A football player has the right to "p lay out" his oneyear option and then sign with any club. This practice is severely lim· ited by Commissioner Pete Roz elle since the club with which the player decides to p lay is obligated to replace that player with another player of the same ability, or some reasonable facsimile. At $90,000 a year, Flood is probably the richest piece of property In don a uniform. But he has repeat edly claimed his is not a personal fight but rather for the benefit of all players, primarily those who aren't supe~ stars, those who ride the bench game after game with no opportunity to get a starting position. Flood is rebelling against a contract which aJ. lows a club to fir e a player at any time without notice. If it is during the off-season, then without pay. He can be ordered without notice to pick up his family and move to another city, although he receives a moving expenses allowance based on a 1957 moving scale. That is what Flood is rebelling against - the not-so-glamorous part of a ballplayer's life. And the Lords of Bas eball, as the owners are called, are doing nothing about it. The players want a modification of the reserve clause . Their demands follow somewhat these points: • The right of a player to be free to play out his option after a set num· ber of years a la pro football. • The right to negotiate after a set number of years with his original club. • The right to yearly salary increases which, if not met, would releasi the player to negotiate as a fr ee agent. • The right to have a contract for a specified number of years rather than for life . • The right to negotiate with other clubs , but with his original club being given the right to match any offer. • The right of arbitration of salary disputes. • The right to bring a lawyer or adviser to bargaining sessions with the general manager. • The right to be consulted, and with proper compensation, before I trade is completed. There they are. Rights which should be granted to ballplayers not because they are ballplayers but since they are human beings, not property. They are involved in a livelihood which should not allow their superiors to have tota l domination over them. I agree with Mr. Floodthe reserve clause should be modified and the Lords should not haYI the power that is th eirs whenever a pla yer signs a contract. If Flood's suit is not settled out of court, it will probably take 111 or three years before it comes up before a court. However, other people have tested the case in court five times before. That baseball is a but iness and that Organized Baseball is a monopoly has never been ii doubt. What has been questioned is whether or not it is the type of but iness monopoly that should be exem~t from Federal anti-trust laws. Al late as 1957, the Supreme Court ruled that only baseball was exempt from anti-trust legislation on the basis of a 1922 ruling which said bast ball was neither interstate in its essential nature nor "commerce" in the s ense of goods manufactured and sold . Curt Flood is willing to give up his mo st lucrative baseball ca to fight the Lords of Baseball. He has supporters and detractors. Bui is a most justifiable fight whereby the status quo, which clearly d not suit present conditions, will eventually bec ome just a memory. W will hopefully take its place is a set of rul es mor e legitimate and m reasonable. 118-Jay McGinley 126-'-An dy Matviak 134-Joh n Marfia 142-Tom Mo rris 150-Denn is Verzera 158-Ala n Zei ner 167-Gerry Wil lets 177- Rich Ceccoli 190-Ron Fritts Hwt-Leo Roan 3-2-0 5-0-0 7-0-0 3-1-0 3-0-0 6-0-0 5-1-0 4-2-0 5-2-0 5-1 -0 ( 3-2-0) (37-3-0) (3 7-6-0) ( 3-2-0) (24- 6-2) (12-3 -0) (24-5-1) (19-5-0) (20-5-2) ( 5-1-0) - ■corer age w it came a ~y whe Capti ,coring pulling II the t Center Kemp i litting 14.0 av avis ls i~ ker] the ounc is l pl er I im ( Ja Bi Ri Be H« Fr D2 Te N 0 TICE• MEN Senio r Mond ay-W ednesday 7 :30 - 9 :30 .c W i lk es -B ar re YMCA Sta r t s M o nday, Feb. 2 125 LEWIS - DUNCAN Sports center a nd trophy gal le ry 11 East Market Street, Wilkes-Barre HEADQUARTERS FOR COLLEGE CLOTHING �iday, January 30, 1970 aineymen oal For 00 Level THE BEACON Page 7 Bill Umbach Scores What Guard Jay Reimel Steals 8-Ball League Gets Underway Glen Arneson, director of the greatly expanded Intramural Basketball League, recently announced the schedule for 1970 competition which will feature 24 teams divided into four divisions.

He began his career at Montrose High School, Pa., and has since played on a winning team. Since -Jay donned a Wilkes uniform, the Raineymen have not had a losing season. Reimel is instrumental in the success of the team. His ball-hawking defense and sharp passing and dribbling on offense ignite the team as well as the crowd.

In these times of bad publicity for college students , it seems high time we give credit where credit is due. Let us salute those who bring honor and distinction to their alma mater. Though we feel it is by and large the majority who do so, this week seems an appropriate time to single out for credit those whose accomplishments and activities have placed them in the annual Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. Though such honors have too often been relegated to the level of raccoon coats, fraternities and school spirit in contemporary college circles, we feel these students have accomplished something of note. Perhaps it is because they have seen fit to give something back to their school, rather than accept and take whatever they can. They uphold the old-fashioned college princ ipl e that our education is only worthwhile when we can take what is offered and give it back to others.

I confess right now that I am plagiarizing the id ea. The writer mad e up her Dream Guest List for her Dream Party. Now, as the holiday season descends upon us, I decided it might be fun to give a Dream Christmas Party. ·[It's much less work just to dream up parties!) I ended up with Paul Newman, Bob Considine, Ingrid Bergman, John Lindsay, Moshe Dayan, Walter Cronkite, Neil Armstrong, Bill Cosby, Spiro Agnew, David Frost, and my roommat e.

Naturally, everyone accepted my invitation to the party of the year. I knew they would. I instructed my family to stay up stairs and Maureen Klaproth watch TV in the bedroom so they wouldn't ruin my party. Daddy took out a loan at the bank so I could pick up a chic little Givinchy hostess ensemble. Nancy and I decided to make everything ourselves to save money on the caterers.

He turned and smiled, "I parked my VW next to the pool. Okay?" Just then Nancy bounced out and starte d talking about tinted blue contacts. He seemed offended so she said , " You were great in 'Easy Rider'." Paul sat down and glared. But there wasn't tim e to brood about the bad begi nnin g. The guests started coming quickly , Spiro came with two Secret Service ag ents -so I told Nancy to set extra places fast. The agents started frisking the guests.

I whispered weakly, "It's really a Channukhah tree," and handed th em bagels. I asked Spiro to sit on the coffee table since a columnist had r~ cently called him "the best conversation piece in Washington. " I saw Walter Cronkite approaching him. I put mys elf betwee n them and asked Walter, "How's Eric Sevareid these days?" As the guests busied themselves with the tree tunity to talk to my hero, Bill Cosby. Everything I "Right!"

"But I've become so celebrated since I've been writ· ten up in the Wilkes College Beacon that I think I'll skip that scene and try acting." David asked another question in his crisp English accent. Mindr coolly answered, "Oh, Maureen is okay as a sister and all, but her writ· ing has definitely r eac h ed its capacity."

In the second half, the pace of the game quick end and the Wilkesmen outscored their opponents by two points, but were unable to close the gap sufficiently and the result was a five point loss. Wally Umbach led the Colonel attack with 28 points, his career high, coming mostl y on his patented jumpers from 20 feet out. Rich Davis had 15 and Jay Reimel just missed doubles with 9 points. Wednesday night, the Colonels faced the tough Elizab eth town Blue Jays. The Colonels greeted the visitors with a full co urt press at the beginnin g of the garne and jumped out to a quick 6-0 lead on two goals by Rich Davis and a jump er by Frank Jannuzzi. With 16 :10 showing on the clock, Jay Reimel sank a foul shot to give the Colonels a 9-4 lead. Wilkes did not score again for the next three minutes and in the interim , the outside shooting of Wil Richardson and Charlie Mock enabled the Jays to score 10 straight points and to take th e lead which they never relinquished . Both teams traded baskets for the remainder of the half until with 1 seocnd left, Richardson sank a 25 footer to give the Jays an 11 point lead at the ha!I, 47°36 . The second half found the Colonels forced to play catchup ball. The well - disciplined E-towners n eve r blew their cool and remained ahead by at least 10 points throughout the first 7½ minutes of the second half. With 12:40 left on the clock, the Colonels agai~ _resorted to their zone press . The v1s1tors had no trouble with the press and consistently found themse lves three on one against Rich Davis, the Wilkes safety man. With 7:24 left in the game, Mock hit a 25 footer to give E-town its largest lead of the night, 82-61. Shortly thereafter, Sophomore guard Terry Jones entered the game and the Colonels went into a manto-man press. Jones and Reime l sparked a strong Colonel co m eback which enabled the Blue and Gold to cut the lead coming within 8 points of the visitors at the 2:30 mark, 84-76. The visitors then scored two quick goals and led by 12. From that point on , they went into a freeze . The Colonels w ere forced to foul to regain possession of th e ball. E-town converted severa! key one and one situations and went on to win 97-82. Wally Umbach again led the scoring with 26 points on 12 of 22 from the floor and 2-4 from the foul lin e. Rich Davis had 14, Herb Kemp and Jay Reimel had 12 each. Frank Jannuzzi was the 5th starter in doubles with 10. Saturday night, the Colonels completely overwhelmed visiting Drew University. The Colonels nev er trailed in the MAC game as they eve ned their season's record at 3-3. The highli gh t of the evening occurred with a littl e over 19 minutes left in the second half as Jay Reimel passed to Herb Kemp at the top of the key. Kemp proceeded to sink a 25 foot jumper to register th e 1000th point of his illustrious caree r at the College. The game was halted and Herb was presented with the game ball as the fans gave him a standing ovation. Coach Rainey substituted freely in an attempt to keep th e score respectable and consequently all the Colonels saw a great deal of action . Wall y Umbach led the Wilkes scoring with 21 points hitting on 9 of 15 from the field and 3 of 4 from the foul line. Rich Davis (Continued on Page 8) �Page 6 THE BEACON Alex Hannum, recently appointed coach of the San Diego Rockets in The National Baske tball Association, comm ented, "You can't win in this leagu e unless you have a bald-head ed coach and a bearded center." The Colonel hoopmen don't hav e a bald coach, to the happiness of coach Ron Rainey, nor do they have a bearded center. But they do possess a bearded forward. ... ' F 1 :. II •• Herb Kemp is the player i~ reference. In last week's game against Drew, Herb cracked the 1,000-point margin by hitting a 20-foot jumper hoopsters commented in due fashion, "It's nice to have, but I've got to get moving, get off this slow start." Compared to past seasons this is a slow start for the 6-3 forward. In his freshman season, Herb played 18 games and scored but 89 points, hitting 34 shots from the floor and converting 21 free throws. In 1967, his sophomore year, Herb went wild as he scored his highest season output by banking 434 points. He shot 50 % as he took 340 shots and made 173 plus 88 points on foul shots. In that season, Herb was a terror off the boards as he snagged 432 bounds. Last year, Herb dropped in both Pete Herbst departments. He scored 401 points and pulled down 257 rebounds. A s he said , this s eason is beginning slowly. Against Drew he scored 13 points to bring his total to 48 points. But if anybody pushes himself to improve, it's Herb. Equally important to his scoring, Herb's presence on the court does wonders for his teammates and strikes fear into opposing players . Cen ter Rich Davis said, "It's good to know Herb can clear the boards in case I'm out of position. He's great. " Many times an opposing player driving from the baseline will stop hi s drive when he sees this imposing, bearded figure blocking his path. Tha t quality and the others mentioned here are the re asons Herb was s elec ted to captain Coach Rainey's squad this year. He tak es the position s eriously: "I'll have to set the example by doing, not talking this year." Herb doesn 't talk that much on the court but he does a lot. * * * * * The grapplers of Coach Reese have currently won nine straight matches and one must wonder how good they really are. Their latest match, rather a mismatch , saw the matmen walk over C. W. Post 46-0. They recorded seven pins, six of them coming consecutively. In the prevwus match, the matmen shut-ou t Kutztown. It seems this year 190 pounder Ron Fritts has developed a matphobia. He just can't stay on the mat for longer than a few seconds . It all started last year against Lycoming when he pinned his man in 14 s econds. It's e_vident the phobia has recurred this season. Ron pinned hrs opponent m 18 seconds against Kutztown, which was the second fastest pin in Wilkes history. (Naturally, Ron holds the record for the fastest pin.) Then last Saturday against Post he pinned Ed Schmidt in 25 seconds. He works up more of a sweat in practice than at the meets. With the entire wrestling team wrestling so brilliantly, you don't know where to start. However, the most logical place is the coach. For years , Athletic Director John Reese has produced stand-out teams but this year he just might out-do himself. The coach is a very modest.man who doesn't hesitate to shy away from attention. But his actions speak f~r themse lves a~d the _school should be grateful and appreciative of his ab1ht1es. Besides bemg a member of the rules committee for the NCA"": , the coach was recently appointed a member of the coaching committee for the United States Olympic teams. * * * * * There seems to be some perversion of justice here in America when a person convicted of evading the draft is allowed to run around the country for years appealling the case on the grounds he is a minister while trying to resume his boxing occupation. Cassius Clay, or Muhummad Ali as he was called before being dismissed from the Black Muslims , is now trying desperately to arrange a bout with Joe Frazier. Rightly so, Americans are speaking up to prevent this. The fight was scheduled for Orlando, Florida but Florida Governor Claude Kirk asked promoter Ron Gorton to call off the fight because of large public sentiment against the fight. They couldn 't be more correct. Any society that allows a convicted citizen to roam the country free and at the same time speaking out agamst that country is definitely crazy . If anybody is to be a hero, it better not be Cassius Clay. There was some negative transformation of Clay ever since he won th e world heavyweight title from Sonny Liston in Miami Beach. From then on he became a tool of the Black Muslims and a symbol of hate. His poems about the round he'd knock out his opponent were no longer to be heard. He became vindicative and vicious . If a~ything, we must sympathize, feel sorry for him being brainwashed oy that hate group . He certainly isn't to be idolized. * * * * * Stats for guard Wally Umbach this week are 75 points, converting 35 shots from 58, 17 rebounds and 15 assists. Swimmers Drop Initial Two Meets; 80, Lose To Harpur, Bloomsburg State Pn by by Steve Jones The Colonel mermen, try.ing desperately to 'shake a losing streak which began last year, dropped their first two encounters of the new season. . On Dec . 9, Coach Robert Corba's charges dropped a 61-34 decision to Harpur College and two new school records in a meet which featured some excellent diving by Co lonel Doug Krinke. Last Saturday the aquamen lost their second meet in as many encounters to Bloomsburg State College, 64-31. Against Harpur, freshman Rich Marchant set a new mark in the 50 11 by Steve Newman The Wilk es Op en Wrestling Tournamen t, the oldest and largest event of its kind and one which always attracts the top wrestlers in the East opens here Decemb er 29 and 30. "The Rose Bowl of Wrestling," as it was cited in Sports Illustrated a year ago will feature 350 entries this year, the 38th of its existence. Among the top teams to wrestle this year is the New York Athletic Club, last year's team champion. The Athletic Club features Brooke Yeager, former Wilkes great in its efforts to defend the title. The Club is expected to finish in the top ten. Bloomsburg, Temple, Lock Haven, and Wilkes will attempt to wrestle the Walp Trophy, which is awarded to the team champion, from New York. Although the Colonels have never won the title, they have finished third twice and placed fourth last year. With co-captain Andy Matviak leading the way for the grapplers, Coach John Reese hopes again to finish in the top five. Matviak was last year's champ at 115 pounds. · Other outstanding individuals who will return are Larry Ripley of Lock Haven and Alex Steinberg of the Penn Grapplers. Ripley was the recipient of the Blackman Trophy for the Outstanding Wrestler and the High Point Trophy. Steinberg won the Gorriaran Trophy for the most falls. This will be Steinberg's 13th Wilkes Open. Wilkes College inherited the Tournament from the Wilkes-Barre YMCA in 1950 because the local institution could not offer adequate facilities for the growing event. The tourney was initiated in 1932 by Austin Bishop while serving as wrestling coach at the Wyoming Seminary. The competition has increased from approximately 56 wrestlers in 1932 to its present number. This year's matches begin Monday the 29th at 1 p.m. and will continue throughout the day. Tuesday's matches begin at 1 also. The finals will be held Tuesday night. One ticket is good for both days. Last year's winner was the New York Athletic Club with 67 points followed by Bloomsburg State College w ith 55. Temple University placed third followed by Wilkes with 29 points, only two behind Temple. Old Dominion Co 11 e g e rounded out the top five by placing fifth with 28 points .

The proposal, the second presented to Student Government, was revised to alleviate ambiguity and include suggestions made by Student Government members . In essence the proposal sugges ts that curfews be eliminated for women over 21. It further suggests that women dormitory students, with the exception of first semester freshmen, who have not attained the age of 21 years but who obtain parental consent, be exempted from curfew hours. It was also suggested that female resident two-year terminal students and nursing education students be exempted from curfews .

Guide listed For Draft Agers Here is a rule-of-thumb guide for draft-age youths to determine what the birthday lottery drawing meant to them. You are involved if your birthday falls between January 1, 1944, and December 31, 1950. If your birthday was drawn in the first 122 numbers and you have no deferment, such as college, it is almost certain you will be called for induction in 1970. If your birthday was drawn between No. 123 through 244, the outlook is touch and go that you will receive your draft board notice. There are varying factors, such as the quotas assigned to your local Selective Service Board, deferments, whether your birthday comes high or low on this middle grouping. If your birthday was drawn in the bottom third from numbers 245 through 366, there is small likelihood you will be summoned in the draft and you can probably plan your life and career in the knowledge you will have no military service requirement, barring national emergencies. If you are temporarily deferred because of college or job, your exempt status continues but the priority level in which your birthday falls in the drawing will be effective for the year your exemption expires. Thus if you should graduate or drop out of college in 1973, if your birthday was the 15th number drawn in the Monday lottery, you would be placed in the 15th level of call-ups in 1974 even though a different birthday was drawn 15th for that year. �Page 2 THE BEACON Friday , December 12, 1 Lustig Cites Contra versial, Campus Issues And States Personal Views Conterning EatJ Editorials ACKNOWLEDGING CHANGE It is common knowledge at Wilkes, as well as at other universities and colleges across the nation, that a college education · encompasses more than fulfilling academic requirements and choosing a major. It is learning about people, situations, and society. It is growing, maturing, and understanding. In order to understand the workings of the College and how these happenings affect you, important questions must be asked. What is Wilkes College? What does it stand for? What does it mean to you? In order for a student to function effectively under the policies o.f the College, it is fundamental, if not necessary, for a student to understand how the policies of th e College are made. To define proper channels. Most policy changes begin with Student Government, the voice box of the students. If a change receives the approval of this organization, it is then forwarded to the Administration. The Administration 's handling of the policy change is twofold. On one hand, it must represent the views of the faculty, and on the other hand, it must indicate the views of the Administration. The final step of policy change lies in the Board of Trustees. Here, the owners of the College finalize all policy changes. Wilkes College at this point in time is undergoing a "forward thrust." Buildings are going up, students are taking on new responsibilities with representation on Faculty Committees, and our academic standing has reached a new height. Dr. Farley has been quoted as saying, "What is best for the students of Wilkes College is best for Wilkes College." Since the stu dents are part of the "forward thrust," let them be heard and understood, just as they are trying to understand and implement the proper channels of the College. To The Editor: After reading your editorial last week titled "Of, 8 For The Students, " many thoughts passed through my You were cautioning the new action committee on · this had its merits. You were also endorsing the issues they presented. Only The Beacon has endorsed these co times and therefore what is being presented to the students is old material and unfortunately old at that. There seem to be five basic issues on the Wilkes Campus which are highly controversial. Only they were controversial when I was a freshman, back in 1967. The issues are open house, the cafeteria, no curfews, the parking problem, and off-campus housing. The open house issue was finally given some attention this year by the proper people. As a result of some hard work by some IDC memhers, it was passed by the Council of Deans, after an enthusiastic vote of male resident students. Now it is in the hands of the Administrative council. It HAS been since a week before Thanksgiving vacation. According to Dean Ralston, they met and discussed it thoroughly, but wished to discuss it again. Surely it is an extremely important policy decision of behalf of the Administration, but this is not the first time this issue has been raised. These individuals should have some preconceived ideas of how they stand. In other words, why is it going to take them the better part of a monlh ally vote? It will take semester worth of hard enact something which has annual issue. The cafeteria situation ls a sad one.

The change in calendar recommends that final exams be administered before the Christmas recess, thereby giving students one long break instead of two short breaks. It is felt that one long break can have many benefits. The faculty would have a longer time period in which to grade the final exams and compile final grades. Students would also receive the benefits of one long break. Many students could obtain employment during this time period, thereby relieving some of the financial burden of the coming semester. Students could also enjoy a Rice, worry-free vacation, alleviating much of the wear and tear of going to and from home twice a month . A calendar change could be implemented in one of two ways: either by be ginning the school year one week early or by cutting off one week. Perhaps other Faculty Committees might consider some of these suggestions for the coming year: a plus or minus grading system, an honor system , an unlimited-cut policy, oral final exams, a greater concentration of new courses in the language department, and more community-college service projects. HEL-L-L-P ! The Beacon staff is currently in the process of reorganizing for its second semester. Each week this paper runs announcements begging interested students to come in and join us. Each week we are disappointed by an almost total lack of response. Students just do not seem to believe that they do not have to be Bob Considines or Art Buchwalds to become full-fledged working members of their school newspaper staff. Experience or background is not required - most currently working for us did little or no work in the writing field previously. Desire and determination are the prime prerequisites for any job. Some us walk in full of dedication and stay through sheer stubbornness . Most of us agree that being an i,:itegral part of a creative school activity provides enormous satisfaction. There is the knowledge that our four years on this Campus are not spent taking what others can give us, but that in even a small way we are giving something of ourselves to the College. Our meetings are held every Sunday evening at six o'clock in the Student Organizational Building. You are invited to attend and learn to read copy, and write headlines or stories. There comes a time when talk and good intentions are not enough. If you really care - come this week! favor of Open House, he no reason why it could in to effect.

Felton, Dean of the of Arts and Sciences o'f UNIVERSITY, has recenteed that, in the upcoming ring Semester, a two-year t with a pass-fail system inaugurated at the Univeroption to take one, and e, course per semester unsystem will be open to juniors and seniors only. The only basic restriction is that the course to be taken may not be in the student's major field. Aside from these restrictions, any one course that is offered in the University catalogue may be taken on a pass-fail basis. At the conclusion of that two-year experiment, the results are to be carefully analyzed to evaluate the favorable and unfavorable aspects of the new system. The results will determine whether a more extensive use of the pass-fail system would be beneficial to the students. Academic courses as timely and relevant as a front-page headline will be offered qualified freshmen at INDIANA UNIVERSITY this year. Eighteen special seminars, most of them suggested by students themselves, will deal with such current and thorny problems as poverty, discrimination, student unrest and black power. Fifty students of ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY in Illinois will have to pay for parking tickets and towing fines because their cars were towed away. They couldn't understand why their cars had been towed away until they discovered that a fraternity on the same street had stolen all the no-parking signs. The police had put up no-parking signs on the street so it could be cleared. The cost for the prank will be a total of $477.50. Wilkes College moves into the annual holiday scene Sunday afternoon at 3 :30 when The Madrigal Singers, conducted by Richard Chapline, presents its regular program of Christmas carols from many lands. Now in its 18th year, this talented group of 15 voices appeared in concert first in the lobby of the college gymnasium just before the holiday recess . Later, the traditional program was moved to the First Presbyterian Church, and today in the Center for the Performing Arts. The program this year includes carols composed by English, Czech, Welsh, Basque, and Ukrainian musicians. On Tuesday, December 16, at 8:30 p.m., the Wilkes College Chorus of 90 college singers adds to the Christmas spirit with its annual Christmas program. Directed by Richard Probert, the group will feature "Christians, Mark Ye Well This Day," by Bach. In addition, works by Billings, Gustav Holst, Gian Carlo Menotti, and Francis Hagen will be heard. The Wilkes College Concert Band, directed by Raymond Nutaitis, takes over the Center Wednesday evening at 8:30 with a varied program of concert music, including compositions by Bach, Darius Milhaud, Wallingford Riegger, Percy Grainger and others.

The first thing you should do is read a copy. Most SG members don't have extra copies and you probably can't get one anywhere else either. At first I was unable to obtain a copy of the proposal so I questioned SG people about it. From one high-level SG official I received the following reply: "It's nothing. It's not worth worrying about," and right then, I know that I'd better start worrying. I asked him why it wasn't worth worrying about. "Well, it's really just for the Administration, so they can have it; you know, just so it's there in case of anything." "In case of anything" is the best description one could assign Dissent and Due Process, for truly, it does make let everyone read the message, but emphatically denied considerations for anything. 111yone named Bob.

Post Saturday Night 01 weeks ago athlete in col entitle d THE approach to u rem em ber, k boyco tt of s do I agree rovoca tive, i feels th e l Before 1,000 fans at the gym, the Colonel matmen got off to a tremendous start by winning for the second straight year the quadrangular meet. To do so , Coach John Reese's grapplers romped over Oneonta, 37-3; Montclair State, 30-6; and in the final round downed unbeaten University of Buffalo, 22-12. · The Gold Horde won 23 of 30 bouts while recording nine pins. The Colonels thus go in to tomorrow's match against C. W. Post in pretty good shape. Coach Reese got good mileage out of his squad as 19 grapplers saw action. Reese started his top 10 in the first and third rounds and saw most of his second team wrestle in the second round. In the first round against Oneonta, Colonel matman Jay McGinley got things underway for himself and the team by taking a 13-4 decision over Steve Schaffer. It was McGinley's first win of his collegiate career and first of the 1969-70 season for the Colonels . John Marfia, Al Zellner, Gerry Willets, and heavyweight Leo Roan then followed with pins for a Colonel romp over the school from New York. Tom Morris, Brian Lot't, and Rich Ceccoli each recorded decisions . Ron Fritts won by forfeit. Reese went to his second team in the second round against Montclair State in eight of 10 bouts, and it responded with six wins which enabled the Colonels to go into the final round with a sizeable lead over Buffalo . In that round co-captain Marfia got his second pin of the afternoon in 1 :5 7 of the first period to almost duplicate his pin of 1 :51 in the first round. Bill Lukridge, Ed Garabedian, Bob Matley, Bob Yanku, and Tom Grant each decisioned their opponents . Marfia, Rich Mandigo, and Fritts pinned theirs . Meanwhile, the University of Buffalo had recorded wins over the same teams as it too entered the th ird and final round without a loss. Buffalo downed Montc lair collegiate career. Scott Stever got Buffalo right back into the match by downing Tom Morris , 11-4. With the score tied, Brian Lott took the mat for the Colonels against Sol Terrana. With the score tied in the third period, Lott recorded a takedown for two points and the match. His win set the pace for the remainder of the match. Al "Snake" Zellner scored a fourminute pin over Jerry Meisner, only to be followed by Gerry "Gimp" Willets who pinned Peter Lavin in three minutes, as the crowd shouted and stomped its approval. The fans couldn't hav e been mor e correct as their banner read , "Make no mistake with Gimp and Snake!" The Gold Horde managed only one victory in the final three bouts as Ron Fritts decisioned Cliff Gesner, 9-2. Ceccoli and Roan lost by decisions, 3-1, and 2-1, respectively. Coach Reese 's grapplers took first place by garnering 89 total points to second-place Buffalo 's total of 65 points . However, Coach Reese wasn't overly pleased with his team's performance. "We still have a lot of work to do," he commented, "and we looked a little sluggish, particularly in the upper weights . But I'm happy to come away with Swimmers Ready For Saturday John Marfia - 3 wins 28-6, and Oneonta, 25-9. The two undefeated squads me t at 8 p.m. before 1,000 enthusiastic fans at the gym. Things started slowly for the Colonels as New Yorker Ed Brown decisioned young McGinley, 13-2. The experienced captain from Buffalo almost pinned McGinley, but the younger version of Coach Ken McGinley put in a supreme effort to avoid it. Co-captain Andy Matviak, making his first appearance of the day, put Wilkes on the scoreboard by walking over Pat Harder for a 17-3 de cision. Matviak recorded nine of those points in the third period. Marfia gave the Gold grapplers a quick lead by decisioning Dave Quatrana, 10-1.

The weapon is the black athlete. As other militants do, Edwards applies the term "Negro" to those of the ·black race who "have taken no stand in support of liberation for black people." Edwards explains: "Here I make a distinction between Negro and Afro-American, or black. 'Negro' here is used as being synonymous with 'nigger'. It carries the same negative connotations. It is felt white racists created Negroes as they did niggers." Among those Negroes Edwards attacks are Jesse Owens, Rafer Johnson, George Foreman, and Lee Evans . Those whom he lauds Herbst are Tommie Smith, John Carlos, Muhammad ussell, and Lew Alcindor. whites are concerned with the injustices to black people. ss, they express bewilderment over the revolt of the black Isn't sports free of racism and the one area where Negroes are equally?

Let it cool for half an hour. Cut the carton down the sides and peel it away. The coating on the container will keep it from sticking. Now yo ur candle is ready to decorate with holly, ribbons, glitter, or any trimming you like. Another idea u sing milk cartons for a younger person on your list is a boat to sail or pull. Lay a carton on its side and cut out a curved piece from opposite sides and across the top. From stiff paper, cut a sail. Attach plastic straws, cut to fit, at top and bottom of sail. Use pressure-sensitive tape. Use another plastic straw for the mast. Knot a string; run it through straw at top of sail and tie it at the top of the mast. Tie another string near bottom of mast; run it through straw and knot. Don't cut string yet. Punch a hole just large enough for the mast to fit into the bow. Insert and anchor to bottom of boat with glue or clay. Slip loose end of string through the stern, leaving enough play in the string on outside of stern. Cut a rudder and keel from carton scraps. Glue in place with waterproof cement. For a pull toy, omit the keel and rudder. Omit the sail and cut carton sides at right angles. Paint boat in bright colors with plastic paint. Another gift which is welcomed by all is a tin of Christmas cookies. A recipe which usually works out well is: is involved in this "battle". It began quietly, but has since then become an ever-widening gap between the students and the school officials . It is not a large request. It is ridiculously trivial.' The students realize this; it seems the administration cannot. By adopting this policy of inflexability, the bridges between the two groups, which the Student Government has tried so hard to create are falling away. It has created discontent, dissatisfaction, and an upsurge in protest. This attitude has created an environment in which militancy can easily be spawned. It has supplied the lever which any radical organization can use in an attempt to bring violence to the Wilkes Campus. This policy is not helping Wilkes in any way; on the contrary, it threatens to disrupt campus peace, and divide the students on issues. I hope that the administration realizes this before any permanent damage is done. The Wilkes College students will NOT tolerate having their wishes ignored, and themselves treated as children. I ask that the administration think of the possible conseq uences they may be tempting. The students feel the faculty has no part in this case, although the trustees do. If the administration has any plans to poll their parents, I ask they abandon them . The repercussions would outweigh its usefulness. And if the administration doesn't want Open Housing, why won't they come out and say so, instead of leading us on? The students of Wilkes came here for an education - not to have their lives dictated.

Whether a girl will take advantage of no curfews, should Not be the main determiniant. What should be is that she would be doing so with parental consent. One can appreciate why the College fee ls some responsibility, but it isn't the girl's parents and shouldn't try to be so. The parking problem is something which will probably never be solved . Even with the new Conyngham lot, parking will still be inadequate. This is one situation which applies to day students moreso than to dorm students. Why should they have to cross the Market Street bridge after parking their car? There is a new garage which was opened by the city. One solution would be for the College to arrange highly discounted rates for student daytime parking, rates which would be subsidized by Wilkes. If a student chose this method of parking, the College might assess his bill with a charge to offset the subsidy . All this would have to be enticing to the student if it were to work properly. It seems ironical that with so many intellectuals on campus, we can't find two heads, that when put together, will come up with a solution to this problem. Or is it that we don't want to find a solution? The last issue is off-campus housing. It seems logical that (1) on a campus which has a housing shortage, the school would be eage r to allow upperclassmen to seek apartments. (2) Granted that there isn't an abundance of apartments in the area, a junior or senior should nevertheless be allowed to seek one if he or she desired to. (3) Shouldn't and wouldn't the idea of living on your own and managing a budget be an essential ingredient in a so-called well-rounded education that is supposed to prepare us for the outside world? In the final analysis, Susquehanna won the game on the foul line. The Colonels shot only 14 times from the foul line and converted 11 of those attempts, while the Crusaders attempted 31 foul shots and made 21. Both teams hit 28 field goals. The discrepancy in foul shots attempted prompted Coach Rainey to resurrect the time-honored phrase "It's tough on the road." In all fairness, the team was visibly tired from its third straight road game in six days and the overheated gym didn 't help matters any.

Partridge Wilkes Chosen One Of Seven In Case Study by Kathy Kopetchne On Sunday, April 12, a case study of Wilkes College will begin, and it will end on Wednesday, April 15. During these few days, several aspects of Wilkes College will be observed and discussed by a committee of men headed by Dr. Aldolph Anderson, president of Hartwick College. But before April 12 many hours of hard work must go into making this case study successful. During the first week of December the first drafts of the sub committee reports will be presented to the Steering Committee. The Steering Committee is composed of members of the faculty, administration, and student body. The two students on this committee are Dave Lombardi and Ross Piazza, both of whom are members of the Student Government. I leslimonial to honor departing Presne S.

The only Committee left vacant was Admissions only because there were no eligible applicants. The people chosen for these committees are entitled to the same priviledges as any faculty member on the committee. They are allowed equal vote and equal opportunity to submit proposals for new ideas and policy change. Since this is the first year for Faculty Representation it will be used as a model year. With the success or failure of these committees being the precedent for the future of Students on Faculty Committees. These students plan to submit and discuss ideas concerning; changes in the calendar, curriculum changes, food for athletes, and various other ideas concerning the welfare of the students on this campus. -NOTICE TRYOUTS Majorette tryouts will be held Thursday, December 18, at 6 p.m. Practice will be provided for all those interested on December 9, 11 and 16 in the gym at 6 p .m.

I easily recall -Pearl Harbor Day, December 7, 1966. bt that you remember the day - after all you were only 10. 1 day vividly, however. I opened the letter from John Whitby that moment on I knew I wanted to be part of Wilkes College. It was an exuberant feeling. After all the college boards, applications, visits to campuses and nail biting - it was all over! Suddenly I belonged somewhere. It's a secure feeling , at best. At its worst, it is frightening. It is looking into the four years ahead and seeing a sea of nameless faces . You remember every scary thing you've ever been told about college.

I stared long-stemmed red rose, trying to see the future . don't really remember what I would have told you then was my ible dream, Mindy. Perhaps writing my very own column, serving editor of the college paper, tutoring children, starring on Broadway ling a novel. I've reached a few stars, and left many far behind me. ·011 the impossible dream reaches farther ahead just past the lime I have left to spend on this campus . The dream is just as as the one I dreamed sitting in the high school stadium that june day. The last time I saw you, you were trying to decide whether you interested in being a com mercial artist. You were intense, con, worried .. .. You looked at me in exasperation and said , "You're kr to be in college and know what you want." My dear little onelhe rub.

Bu t th eir parents are to b e held responsible for what th eir parents or grandparents did wrong. Nice work if you get it. True pacifists aside, the yo ung (Continued on Page 8) by Roy V. Hollabaugh In Dr. Bertocci's lectures on " Sex, Love, and the Person," the most prominent fact emphasized was that sex and "other" problems intermix. He suggested that one must m ature to where the conversion can be made from "sex for sex's sake, to sex for Jove's sake." Dr. Bertocci developed the thesis that any relationship must be meaningful eno ugh to overcome the problems connected with sexual adjustment. Dr. Bertocci concluded "sex for sex's sake" transpires, in most cases, with persons who are running from insecurity. In these cases the sexual act does not create a satisfying meaning within the individual and he is left with nothing else to do but search for another sexual encounter. Love was the missin g element; in the doctor's words , " . . . sex without love , loses its meaning." Another important factor is the transition from "I need to be loved ," to " I want to love ." Upon developing this attitude, you can use sex as an effective means for communicating this desire to love. Viewed in this light, sex as a part of love is creative, and creativity is essentia l to the growth of love; sex without love short-circuits creativity. Naturally, following love comes marriage. Marriage is a legal state in which two persons develop their values together. The doctor asserted that marriage was necessary in forming meaningful love and sexual relationships because with marriage one is bound by more than just physical attraction. Marriage should be generated by a love that is great enough to overcome sexual problems. This love should be essentially a love of one another's values, so when you encounter sexual problems you hav e this love to rely on . In other words, this love of values and physical love must be combined; they are combined in marriage and in marriage the sexual relationship of the co upl e is given time to develop in to a meaningful conveyance of their love . With time each new sex act between the couple will have a new m eaning, and each new meaning will help them develop depth in their relationship. It is also imperative that the transition from the " need to be loved " to the "desire to love," takes place in forming a family . A successful home, and family, is where the individuals love together, rather than just live together. The parents must learn to give their love to their children, and quench their thirst for love between themselves. The family should function as a unit, each member an essential part of the unit; the love generated within the family should SG Members Plan Activities For Commons Two co mmittees of Student Government have been working on plans to make The Commons mor e useful and beneficial to Wilkes Students. Some of their ideas have already been placed into practice, while others are planned to be adopted in th e future . Last week, a jukebox was installed on the first floor of the building, and various club nights hav e been set u p. The first of these clu b nights was held on November 5, and was sponsored by the Biology and Chemistry Clubs. They presented a film en titled "A Plague on You r Children", which concerned th e effects of biological warfare . Another such night was scheduled for Nove mber 19 when the Spanish Club presented the film "Don Quixote." Checkers, ch ess, pi n gpong, pitch and shuffleboard tournaments are also planned, and the dat es for these will be announced at a later time. A Coffeehouse ai'.id fo lk night is being planned for December 23. It will include entertainment by campus talent, and possibly, a film . Plans of a mor e proj ecte d na ture include sponsoring we ekly films in the Commons, which would b e separate from the films already provided by Manuscript. There are also hopes of settin g u p Chase Annex as a stu d ent center complete with pinball machine s, pin g-pong (Continued on Page 8) serve as the cohes ion needed lo hold the uni t together. Dr. Bertocci described premarital sex in terms o f the pyschological problem it creates today instead o f the biological problem it created for the generatio n before us. A generation ago one abstained from premarital sex because of the likelihood of pregnancy occurring. Today, in our scientifi c era, the contraceptives available to men and women greatly reduc e , if not eliminate, the chances of impregnation occu rring. But, as I said, our problem today is not a bio logical one, it is a psychological one . Since sex ou t of marriage does not allow the individuals to conveniently work out their sexual problems , man y of these sexual experiences are unsatisfying, emo tio nally as well as physically, and even frustratin g. Th e pill, which may induce premarital sex, is, as the do ctor put it, "the problem of our generation." The pill ; while enhancing the temptation to participate in premarital sex, also enhances the opportunity for un warranted fears and apprehensions to be embedde d in one's mind , and the experience gained from premarital sex may be very detrimental to th e ps yc hological balance of the persons involved. Sex should say something. How can a meanin gful sexual relationship be developed if it is no t accompanied with the love that is essential to it, plus the time that is needed to reach sexual compatibility? It is true, the pill will greatly increase the quantity of sex available; however, the pill will not give quality in sex. Quality in sex is only obtainabl e through much effort, understanding and Jove b etw een two people . Dr. Bertocci suggested that a "Doctrin e of Repression" be initiated to create a standard b y which we should live; we should institute within ou r lives moral, rather than biological , reasons for being chaste. " Sex, Love, and the Person" if together, accordin g to the doctor, should be together in marriage. As Dr. Bertocci stated: "Marriage is a problem in itself, bu t I would suggest that many of th e answers to thi s problem may, however, be found in marriage. As well as the 'pill' being a problem of our generation, I think the impracticability of college students getting married, even though they may be in love, is also a perplexing problem of our generation . The ideal wa y is to repress our desires until sex , love, and marria ge are at last obtainable. If we can repress ourselves to when we can have thes e three to ge ther, then we will have better 'sex,' better 'love,' and we will be bette r 'persons' .n WHAT• WHERE• WHEN Friday, December 5 Sem inar - Ja roslav G.

The performance will take place on Friday, December 12, at 8:30 p.m. in the Masonic Temple, Scranto,n. Selected for presentation were The Medium , by Gian Carlo Menotti, and The Bear, by William Walton. The Medium is one of the most popular operas of the twentieth century, having played almost two years on Broadway. Critics have acclaimed it as one of the finest works of its genre by a contemporary composer. Ghostly effects and suspenseful drama insure an intense audience involvement. An outstanding cast has been selected to present the opera. Miss Joanna Bruno, who will sing the role of Monica in The Medium, was chosen for that role by the co mposer, Menotti, for his production of the opera this past summer at his festival in Spoletto, Italy. Her success was so singular that Menotti asked her back for next summer's festival. It is believed that Miss Bruno is on the threshold of world acclaim. Students at Wilkes will readily recognize another principal in The Medium, Mrs. Helen Ralston. She is widely recognized as one of the great musicians of this area, and has contributed extensively as a soloist to countless oratorio and other choral programs, as well as being a distinguished recitalist. Neil Rosenshein, another principal, has participated 'for the last two summers in operas at the Aspen Musical Festival, Aspen, Colo. The second opera, The Bear, has had only one American performance, at the Aspen Music Festival during the summer of 1968. The cast, which premiered the opera for POJETBY <COHN Roommates Who borrows all your ready cash? Your roommate. Whose talk is senseless haberdash? Your roommate.

I ca n't accept, having no time, I can't think, I can ' t read, I'm swamped, I haven'tll I'd like to pray, but I haven't time. Abbe Michel Quoisl Americans at Aspen, will present the opera to the audience in Scranton. Steven Rowland as Smirnov, and Cynthia Bedford as Popova are the featured leads. Chekhov fans will recognize this opera as his delightful comedy enhanced by music. This production is considered a major step forward in the artistic development of this area. Students interested in attending may obtain tickets at the Wilkes College Bookstore, •Charles and Mary, and the Book and Gard Mart.

He clarified himself further by saying, "Change is a part of living, but I feel change should be orderly and beneficial and I'm going to be part of that change here at Wilkes. " Certainly, Mr. Ken Maloney is proving to the people with whom he has worked that he is eager to b e a constructive part of that change. He has become concerned with various student organizations and his aid and advice has been welcomed. Change has not been an easy commodity to secure here at Wilkes, but, with men like Mr. Maloney coming to Wilkes, it might become easier. Amnicola To Photo Residents $24.00 P age 5 by Paulette Leofflad The Yearbook Staff met with 1.D.C., A Student Government Rep resentative, and Mr. Hoover in No vember to reach an agreement on the dormitory p i cture issue. It was decided at this meeting that dorm pictures will be used. The Yearbook Staff will make ou t the time schedule and I. D.C. is in charge of enforcin g it. Candid shots of dorms will also b e u sed. A new feature of this years amnicolo is th e ar ran gement of fac u lty pictures. To change th e pace of previous years, the faculty pictures will be taken in informal groups . More color will also be in this edition. ,Senior pictures are in the progress of being taken at Lazarus. If anyone has not received an appointment they are to contact Lazarus . The Yearbook Staff this year is endowed with the most members ever, and an Art Staff has been added. Experienced photographers are needed for the staff, if anyone is interested, they should stop by the amnicolo office in the Student Organization Building on North Hampton St. With these encouraging notes , people should support the coming subscription cam paign during the first week of February. The price of the book is $2 . Chairmen of all Student Government committees have submitted lists of people who have participated in any activity. This includes students ranging from freshman orientation week, homecoming ushers, and the newly appointed students on faculty committees . Student Government feels that this is just a small way to say thank you and show its appre ciation for the work and interest students have shown in Student Government. Spu rred on by student's r equests to be heard on issues, TEXAS TECH has given its students an area where they can voice their opinions at anytime. The place, called the "Free-Speech Area" by the Administration, is being opposed by the liberals on campus because it is located away from where the students converge, but most of the students feel that th e idea of a speech area is a good one and should become an example to other colleges. It seems the Greeks at KANSAS STATE outsmarted the naive fresh man girls at registration in September. Freshman girls completed one of the many cards requesting personal information without realizing that they were not for college information but for the file box of Sigma Nu Fraternity House. Although students at DICKINSON have written evaluations of professors to b e distributed to the students, there has been no formal acceptance of student involvement in the evaluation of courses and instructors .

Vice-Presiden t for academic affairs, George Christensen, said, "I always ask for th e student response to a teacher 's effectiveness . ACTION IN SOCIETY of DICKINSON College has discussed tp. e possibility of establishing a "free university" which would consist of two divisions. The first would include open classes held on campus, and taught by students or professors on subjects r evelant to today 's life. The second would b e concentrated in the community of Carlisle and would consist of practical courses such as cooking, sewing hygiene, and diet. The AIS feel s that this program would b e w ell worth the work and res earch involved . The UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND is offering a semester in Israel at Tel Aviv University, open to students who have complete d one year of college s tudy at a recognized institution.

In regards to the cage team's record last year, Kemp believes that the problem with the team occured on the road. "We won only three games away from home the entire season, and it was probably the result of our depending too much upon fan support rath er than our own effort and iniative in trying for wins. This year we're going to have to assume mor e pride in ourselves and in our game. The crowd support should act only as a supplement to our own effort." Kemp also realizes that unlike last year when h e wasn 't captain of the team, this year people will be watching him for direction . He states , "thi s year I'll have to set the example no t b y talking, but rather by my own actions. I'll also have to try to eliminate the physical and mental mistakes I was guilty of at times las t year." (Continued on Page 7) Herb Kemp The Colonel grapplers open up the new campaign tomorrow with a quadrangular meet with University of Buffalo, Montclair State, and Oneonta participating. Wrestling coach John Reese will begin his 17th season at the helm. In sixteen years, his teams hav e compiled a record of 135 -25-6. Oneonta finished third in last season's quad-meet, behind Buffalo and Wilkes , first place winner. This year, Oneonta's team is no t too well-known, although the Oneonta coach claims to hav e a respectable squad. Buffalo is progressing quite well and will provide some stiff competition. The Colonels will begin the me et tomorrow, wrestling Oneonta at 1 p .m. Buffalo will m eet Montclair State. Th e second round will take plac e late Saturday afternoon.

Against Princeton co-captain Andy Matviak pulled a rib muscle which set the tone for the day . Five grapplers were injured a t West Poin t, none of them serious. Coach Reese stated the wrestlers looked good in both encounters . In typical co nservativ e fashion Reese commented , " We hav e a veteran team but we must work on a lot of things. " Based on their results in the scrimmages and practic e sessions, the coach has listed the following to see action tomorrow : At 118 pounds are four possibilities . Bob Fluhinger, Jay Mcginley, Ed Garabedian , or sophmore Bill Lukridge will s tar t. Co-captain Andy Matviak will wrestle at 126 pounds. Matviak holds the record for most pins in a season (1967-68) and won a Wilkes Open Cro wn in 1968. Co-captain John Marfia will be at 134 pounds with assistanc e from Al Favata. In a quadrangular m eet, a wrestler does not have to be in every meet so Favata will probably see some action. Marfia was the MAC champ in 1969 when he finished 11-1. He ho lds a 30-6 lifetime record, eleventh on the All-time !is t. Sophmore Tom Morris will wrestle at 142, followed by Dennis Verzera at 150 pounds .

Staake's punting average is amusing if yo u compare his mark yards per kick to a team in the National Football League. The ork Giants, who have now lost seven straight games, have had nuble with finding a respectable punter.

He wasn't too bad and he would have stayed there not missed three field goal attempts in a game.

The Wilkesmen displayed a wellbalanced attack as four cagers hit for do uble figures. Frank Januzzi, filling the vital sixth-man role, came off th e bench early in the first half to spark the attack.

Tomorrow, November 22, the Biological Society of Wilkes College will sponsor the fourth annual Science Exposition for area high school students. The purpose of this Science Exposition is to acquaint students who exhibit an interest in science with Wilkes' Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Engi• neering departments. Dr. Eugene S. Farley will present the opening remarks at the Center for the Performing Arts at 9 a.m. Registration will take place immediately afterwards. Both morning and afternoon sessions will consist of combination lecture-demonstration periods in the various fields of the sciences. The program works like this: members of various dormitories decide on something that interests them. They try to enlist the aid of a faculty member to define and discuss the subject. The goal of the program is to foster a better relationship between students and faculty at Wilkes . The me "In-Group Learning" committee has distributed questionnaires among the faculty members to get their opinion of the program. The r espo nse has been overwhelming; in fact, members of the faculty have volunteered to discuss everything from natural child birth to the war in Vietnam . Mr. Heaman, of the English department, says the "'In-Group Learning ' program is an excellen t idea and I would be glad to do anythin g you like to help initiate the program." Miss Mary Lou Lovette of the Language department said, "Fine. There is too great a distance betweeen faculty and student." Dr. Donald Tappa of the Biology department suggests it is a "very fine idea - but it must be co mpl etely informal for best results ." The first dorm to participate in the program will be Gore Hall. There has been no definite plans set for its seminar as of yet. me hop es that all dorms will participate in the "In-Group Learning" program. It will provide any thing needed for the faculty members' presentations. · IDC will also give the dorms financial aid if necessary for refreshments and other entertain ment expenses.

Seniors Initiate Memorial Pledge As Replacement For Traditional Gilt The class of 1970, in an effort to offer a "more significant and beneficial" gift to the College, hop es to initiate a pledge program to be carried over the next 15 years.

Farley has played the· role of educator, College President, counsel or to students , fa ther-away-from-home and No. 1 supporter of everything that was good for his students. He has congratulated t housands for accompl ishments big and small. He has sha ken the hands of graduates in 35 classes and worried about them afterward as much as he did wh ile they were in his coll ege. Tom orrow evening t he Faculty Women of Wilkes College attempt to repay some of the debt by holding a testimonial dinner in his honor. No greater debt was ever created. No greater desire to repay a debt ever existed. We wonde r as we cons ider his leaving the office of President just what this Campus will be like without its creator and fa . ther. Wilkes College without Eugene Farley delivering the welcomes and farewells will hardly seem like Wilkes College. There wil l be many of us who will miss seeing him walk down the street, returning a friendly wave as one of his students shouts , " Hi, Doc !" It is a tribute to his down-to-earth personality that such an info rmal greeting would never offend him but would be returned in kind. Dr: Farley is Wilkes College. Those ·who have disagreed with him' have ended up shaking his hand in admiration and respect. Those who have believed in him have always found their faith justified. He stands for all the true virtues that are too often lost in this frantic s0c iety: honor, t rust , pride , determination , and most of all - loyalty. He has weathered every storm on the Wilkes Campus. There have been heartbreaking defeats - but he has seen only the triumphs. We wonder how the " Great White Fath er" must feel as he walks about the campus and views those buildings and in· stitutions for which he is responsible. It must be a proud feel ing, and a humbling feeling. Some people never know what their li fetimes have accomplished. Dr. Farley is one of the few who can look around with satisfaction for a job well done. He can see the physical structures of hi s College. He can know that thousands of people in this Valley and beyond owe their college educations to him . He had the guts to build a college where those-in-theknow said he could never succeed . If those-in-the-know have any doubts of the victor in this battle, we invite them to visit Eugene S. Farley's " Impossible Dream ." HAZING ANALYSIS Student Government voted to keep hazing as part of freshman orientation last Sunday. We support this action, but with reservations. Hazing is an intrinsic part of orientation . It serves several purposes - as the Wilkes dormitory handbook states, " The college dorm itory provides wonderfui op· portunities for the freshmen to form close associations , not only with their fellow freshmen, but with the upperclassmen with whom they will be living. It is to just these purposes that dormitory initiation programs should be designed. " No one can deny that if hazin g is ca rried out in the way it is designed to be, it can bring students closer together. Certainly it is a failure on the part of "mature" uppercl assmen if the program is not successful in this purpose . It is a minority on Campus that instigates the destructive or frightening aspects of hazing. Wearing dinks and ties, going on scavenger hunts, performing songs and cheers , and lighting upperclassmen's cigarettes should all be done in the spirit of fun. These traditions were begun in 1947. In all these years freshmen have generally supported the hazing programs . Most have found the activities am.using. We hope hazing never has to be abol ished because a few morons can 't handle it satisfactorily. But we al so recognize that SG 's decision on Sunday was not entirely unanimous because some representatives felt initiating had already gone too far. We believe it deserves one more chance. If we can 't handle it maturely next year, then we must resign ourselves to abolishing it. It would be a sad loss of a nice tradition if things must go that far. PLENTY TD BE THANKFUL FDR ... It is the custom every year to sit back in an expansive mood and wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving holiday, knowing f ull well that the way will be spent stuffing one 's self fatter than Tom Turkey, and watching the endless bowl games. We want to clue you in - that is not what the hol iday is meant for! It's a day for "giving thanks ." And even though this may be the era of As ia n war and violent peace at home , we believe that you sh ould set asid e your common complaints and dedicate a day to being grateful. What for , you ask? Plenty, we answer! Why not begin the list with recognition that you are currently privileged to receive a fi ne college education . Don 't take t hat lightly- after all, that education cannot only make you aware of the world beyond your doorstep, but it can open the door to future success . Your college years may be the single most influentia l f~ctor in your development as a person. Add to the list the people you kriow th e good, the fair and middl ing, even the THE REAL MORATORIUM bad. They all contribute to your understanding of what makes t he world go ' round. You can learn from everyone. And probably during your college career you have met a few whom you may sincerely call friends. No matter where you spend the holiday, look around at the familiar faces and be thankful! The warmth of a home is a joy that all too often is overlooked in this unsettled, businesslike society. And finally, be thankful for the country you live in. It may not be popular to be a patriotic American , but even dissenters must admit that they are given the lawful freedom to protest thi s way of life. There are not many nations on this earth that allow its cit izens the right to criticize. Though we may disagree with specifiic policies, it takes a die-hard not to be able to s·ee the glory that is our country. Each individual can add personal blessings to this list. We think you should give it a try. You may find the list longer than you think! ars ai lenge it wa nd ye Colleg hallengE and I , nion of in any college th e col . Wilk ational Id.

The school does realize this problem and is doing its best to solve it. In the last three years Wilkes has added three additional lots and is now in the process of constructing a fourth. Registration, a thorn in everyone's side, is another of the universal problems and also is difficult to solve. The alternatives appear to be to either keep our pres- tive to open The Commons, but not enough students use the facilities to keep it open profitably on weekends. Where are the people who asked for these hours? In closing I feel that the problems of this campus are basically ones that the students can solve themselves. When we have demonstrated our willingness to take a constructive part in solving these problems , the Administration has shown itself to be mor e than willing to assist us in our efforts. With a co ncerted effort we can alleviate conditions that we feel need to be changed, but the success of such efforts will res t in an attitude of cooperation . after 7 p.m. and still find something to complain about?

There were no popular vocal groups that came to Wilkes . It was felt tha t there was no "need" for such a program. The biggest group that we ever had was "The Eddie Day Group ." JOHN ROGERS Wilkes High School was the terminology used to describe the campus when one arrived in 1966 to start his freshman year of college. This w as due to the fac t that in many w ays ent system in whi~ a student theoretically has his c~ice of hours and instructors or possibly institute a system in which scheduling is handled in a random fashion by computers. Both systems have their merits and drawba cks. The major problem with the present system is the great flood of students at the registration gates. At one point during the rush to the door this fall my feet were literally lifted off the ground as I was caught in the pushing . It is only luck that no one was injured in the fracas. If students would arrive at the proper times and stay in one line and not form lin es of their own choice, then registration could gain a semblanc e of order. These two problems are serious ones faced by the College, and the College is making an honest effort to solve them. These situations could be improved by students offering constructive ideas, which would be welcomed by our Administration. Both of these problems are faced by most major colleges and universities in the country. All of the problems of Wilkes', however, are not common to all colleges - -for example, our widespread student apathy and disconcern. It seems to me that students attend ·College for more than grades and an active social life, but maybe I'm wrong. Many of th e events held on this campus deserv e the attention of the student body. The Student Government and College have devoted many long hours of work in preparing the lectures and films held on this campus. How many people attend - maybe 40-50 out of 2,500. This year Student Government has passed the biggest piece of legislation in its history. I am referring to Student Repr ese ntation on Faculty Committees. Student Government felt this program would create interest among the student body . Unfortunately only 2% of the eligible students applied for committees-- -another triumph for apathy at Wilkes College. I am not trying to say that only the present student body has this apathetic attituae, for it has been evident in every class for the past few years in growing proportions. Every year it seems harder to get people who will sacrifice some of their own precious time to help others. In order for the College to provide services for the students it is up to us to organize and participate in creating these opportunities. Many students have complained about having The Commons open week nights and on weekends. The Administration has taken the initia- Wilkes was somewhat backward . I would like to remind some of the seniors and acquaint some of the underclassmen with th e situation of dormitory life at that time. When a resident freshman arrived on campus in 1966, it was require d that all men wear sport coats to dinner on weekdays and a coat and tie on Sunday . Not only was this absurd when the men of the dorms came to dinner dressed in an undershirt, shorts, and THEN the sport coat on top of the unde rshirt, bu t this ruling was strictly enforced. Wha t would be the reaction of the mal e dormitory students of 1969 if this rule were to be reinstated? No televisions or appliances of any kind were permitted in the individual rooms . The two color tel evisions that were furnished by the college could not be used attcr 7 p.m. on weekdays . Any violation would result in the revocation of all television "privileges" for the entire New Men 's Dormitory. How many of us now watch television Every Thursday at 11 a.m. we were blessed with a mandatory assem'b ly program held in the gym . To say these programs were boring would be a gross understatemen t. There were guards a t all possible exits to make certain that nobody left before the program was over. This way the speaker could be assured that his captive audience would remain captive. To say that Wilkes has remained static over the years is not the tru e picture. Students have voiced their opinions over the years and in many cases the Administration has cooperated in granting requests. If this were not so we would have th e same situation that existed in 1966. The backwardness that prevailed then would still prevail now. If Wilk es didn't progress , Wilkes wouldn ' t survive.

HAVERFORD COLLEGE is on the way to further improvement of its black study courses with the grant of $22,500 from the National Endowment for the Humanities for a year-long inter-disciplinary course. As an immediate result, announced by Professor Glickman, program director, will be the offering of a course entitled the Afro-American Experience, in addition to the introductory course in progress. The stated objective of the course is to "provide an introduction to the experiences of peoples of Africa and African origin in the Americas and is meant to offer materials with which first and second-year students can gain a perspective of matters dealt with later in their col- lege careers in the traditional upper-level courses."

Jones' leading figur e in pass interceptions is rather surprising because at the beginning of th e season he was playing offensive split end rather than defensive halfback. It wasn't until midway through pre-season that Jones switched to defense, and even th en it wasn't to halfback but to safety. Finally, two days before the Prince ton scrimmage h e took over at his present position.

The black s tars w ere all part of an incentive program adopted b y Coach Rollie Schmidt and his staff fi ve ye ars ago . The red stars w ere added only last year b ecause a few of th e players' helmets were covered with black stars . Consequently, fiv e black stars now equal one red star. For th e defensive team th e stars are awarded by th e coaches after studying the game films, on th e basis of an outstanding run of 40 yards or more with an intercepted pass, key or hard-nosed blo cks by defensive men blocking on the runback, interceptions, hard-nosed ta ckles, most tackles in a game, assists, blocked kicks, fumbles recovered, consistent play, and extra effort. Th e stars are awarded to the offensiv e memb ers on the basis ofoutstandnng runs of 40 yards or more, key blocks, pass protectionno 'breakdowns hard-nosed tackles, punt coverage _:_ first hit within the fiv e-yard line, fumbl e recovery, extra effort, and consistent play. At the end of the season, Black Star Awards are given to th e outstanding offensive and defensive team members with th e greatest number of stars to th eir credit. In case of a tie, duplicate aw ards are given. When ask ed how this program has worked out, Coach Schmidt replied, "It has been all for th e good . There have been no problems whatsoever, and we plan to continue it next year. " Two Lamb ert Bowls in four years back up his sta te ment 100 per cent. back to punt on fourth down. The ball w as snapped poorly and by the time Staake recovered th e Indiana linemen had broken throu gh to block th e pun t. With Indiana taking over with first down on the Gold 17, Indian signal-caller Wally Blucas took h is team down to th e two . Cox th en took a handoff from Blucas and swep t right end for th e scor e. The PAT attempt w as no t su ccessful as a bad snap prevented th e kic ker from getting off the boo t. Late in th e same p eriod Blucas passed 35 yards to his tigh t en d which brought the ball to the Colonels' two. On that play Colonel safety Dave Kaschak came up to stop th e run of Blucas bu t th e quarterback passed over his h ead . Cox again swept around th e end for his and the Indians ' second score. Indiana scored on a two point conversion when Blucas h it Dave Smith on a play-action pass. Down 14-0 at th e half, Coach Schmidt began to correct his team's floundering offens e. As th e secon d half began, the Colonels looked like a different club as they marched confidently up th e field but couldn' t ge t into the end zon e. The Colonels threaten ed thr oughout th e second h alf as th ey advanced to within th e Indiana 20 fiv e times . But by interc eptions or simply holding th e Colonels on down s, th e Indians thwarted every Colonel scoring drive. Zakowski's fiv e intercepted aerials were not his fault. Out of their respect for his arm, th e Indian defenders played deep in covering Zak's r eceivers. But th e mud cau sed th e rec eivers to slip and slide and not properly run their p atte rns. Consequently th e Indians w ere in good position to in te rcep t. The Colonels ' deep es t pene tration was to the two but tw o ru nning plays w ere stopped an d a pass to Bill Lazor fell incomplete. The play was the center of controv ersy as Lazor felt he was interfered with. Another Wilkes drive was stopped on the 17 when fullba ck Bob Gennaro fail ed to pick up two yards fo r the first down. The final _driv e "'.as stopped on th e seven with a mmut e to go. . . The final score was no t md1 cative of the two teams . Mos t playe r s agree if the pl ayin? conditions w ere not as bad and if th e game was played here, th e outc ome w ould have been diffe rent. Defensive halfback Garf Jones sai d, "We could have won . I think w e' re a b etter team but I guess th e score say s something else.

This was the second time the teams met for the championship. The first game was played to an 18-18 draw. The game was not sent into overtime due to darkness . The "Y" scored first when quarterback Terry Hurley spotted his receiver Tom Page alone in the flat and connected for a 20-yard scoring strike. The extra-point atte mpt was missed, which later proved to be decisive. Both sides played exceptionally tigh t defense and neither team was able to score again until late in the third quarter. But the Roosevelt offens e, which demolished four teams en route 'to the championship, was not to be denied in its last contest. With four minutes remammg in the third quarter, quarterback Jim Rakowski hit Tom Higgins with a 55-yard 'b omb, whi ch he had done so frequently throughout the . season, to tie the score at six apie ce. Their extra-point attempt was stopped by th e Y. As the fourth quarter began and the score tied, though ts of the previous 18-18 tie were common . With darkness making the ball harder to see, both teams played 13 minutes of the 1final period without scoring. Unable to mov e the ball, Roo sevelt House was forced to punt on fourth down with two minutes remaining in the game. YMCA took possession 20 yards short of midfield in its own territory and ·began to drive. Finally, Hurley dropped back to pass and h it Tom Page with a 20-yard aerial for the go-ahead touchdown. With the score 12-6, leading YMCA again missed th e extra point which proved to be the fact or in its losin g cause. With victory just within its reach, th e Y kickoff team took the field . It simply had to hold Roosevelt House for less than two minutes and victory would b e theirs. 'B ut it couldn't hold Roosevelt for more than two seconds as Thunnel took th e kickoff on his 40-yard line and raced all the way to tie the score. Thunnel was the first playe r to run back a kickoff for a touch down this year. Darkness migh t have had s9mething to do with it. Roosevelt was riding high with this score but th e score was still tied, 12-12. Roo sevelt lined up for the extra point with the Y det ermined to preserve the tie. Rakowski dropped back hurriedly, spotted Higgins on a square-out pattern, and passed. The ball was overthrown but Higgins mad e a fantastic diving catch to clinch victory and the championship . SCORING: YMCA - Tom Page, 20-yard pass from Terry Hurley. Extra point missed. ROOSEVELT - Tom Higgins, 55yard pass from Jim Rakowski. Extra point missed. YMCA - Tom Page, 20-yard pass from Hurley. Extra point missed. ROOSEVEIT-Joe Thunnel, 60-yard kickoff return.

When asked by another studen t what position h e played on the basketball team he would reply, "Manager." He would then draw an immediate "Oh, that's nice" and a forced smile. But the managers' position is more important than that. In short, the manager does those tasks that when done well go unacknowledged, but if they are mishandled or neglected, inconvenience and all heck breaks loose. This season the hoopsters and Coach Don Rainey are fortunate to have three very cap able managers: Tim Duerling, Tom Demovic , and Glenn Kerin, all of Bruch Hall. All thre e agree as to what the primary responsibilities of the managers are. Demovic asserted, "Doing the things the coach shouldn't have to worry abo u t and caring for the needs of the players." Kerin felt they are partially respons ible for providing spirit and morale. But just what do they do? Most important, they're responsible for supplying the cagers with those orange spheres called basketballs, which, of course, are necessary items . They must make certain a medicine kit is always available at By Hessler practices and games. Also, they have to provide ice packs and tape for injuries a nd to distribu te and collect all e quipm ent. One other function which is equall y as important as providing basketball is to count the players as they board the bus for an away game. These jo'b s don 't sound like much fun, so why should anyone want to do th em? It can't be for esteem or prestige. Tom had this to say: "I like basketball bu t I'm not such a good player. I wanted to be a part of it and be associated with the school, participate, and get a chan ce to visit other schools." Tom feels that his position is one which is usuall y Phone 822-1121 DISCOUNTED RATES FOR STUDENTS ' PERSONAL LAUNDRY & DRYCLEANING AT THE MEN'S DORM West South Street , Wilkes-Barre Compliments of looked down on, but to the players on the tea m and the coaches the managers are indispensable. They don't go along just for the ride. Like any other unit, the managers have their own vocabulary. For them a "fast break" is the pre- and post-game scrambles to get everything organized. The "freeze" is the lugging of equipmen t to and from the bus in those cold winter nights. " Steals" are something they preve n t a nd if they don't they'r e probably out of a job. Consensus among th e mana gers is that we should have a good team this season. The three managers are depended on by the coach es, fans , and players. Managing makes it.

Both the gridders and boaters turn ed in very resp ords - the Gold Machine going 6-2 and the charges of Coach off making it 7-4-1. Those are two fine records . Naturally, some people would have liked to have seen a where on that football record, preferably on the right side. Bui to be this year. Of course, some people will compare this y to last year's and the previous seasons'. Based on record year's squad suffers. But why compare it to something in the In 1969, the Wilkes College I won six games, lost only two, and close margins. It won for the fifi year the 'MA:C 'football champio many other schools can boast of the 1969 squad and the soccer sessed so mething in such great q quality tha t past teams have teamwo rk. ·Perhaps it could be Coach Rollie Schmidt's signifi pride and poise. And teamwork. The gridders held the opposi than 10 points per game. Yet th outstanding player, no super-star. Pete Herbst made it possible. The defensive ry Hoover, Charlie Fick, John Williamson, John Mazur, Bob Charlie Graziano and the linebackers Pat Malloy, Tony Loveland , and Ron Hillard all worked together, unselfishly to Schmidt a defensive unit he could depend on. And then there's the secondary - a pass defense which 23 enemy passes which broke the old record of 22. Gari I Kaschak, Jerry Moser, Fred Harkins, and John Kerr fooled I ple. That was supposed to be the defensive minus at the the season. Based on the first half against Lycoming, it lo prediction was right. But they came around and were great the season . Go back to Oct. 4 when the gridders faced Moravian it, 6-0. In that game th e Greyhounds beat us in the stat' ment - outrushing and ou tpassing the Gold. But when the w ithin 20 yards of scoring, the defense tightened up and p shutou t. And even in both losing causes, the defense handed numerous opportunities to score and perhaps go ahead to Ithaca the defense held the Bombers within the 20-yard I' they had the 'b all in the last quarter and forced three I gave the Colon els excellent field position. And th e offense was at times overpowering and other scored eno ugh to win, and other times, twice, not enough. one shortcoming of th e offense - the inability to play cat When Ted Yeager rushes for over 100 yards in a game you teamwork. Who sets him free? The offensive line, Bill Eustis, Ed Burke, and George Conway, Les Loveland and set the blocks . They also provided the protection for qu Zakowski to co mplete 48 per cent of his passes. It was all Bill Staake is a great punter, averaging 38 yards. But protection or time to set up and punt, Bill might have go punts travelling maybe 13 yards. But it's a common thought in football if the offense seven points, the defense can allow only six. And if the u p 40 points, the offense should score 41. That is the es work-to make up for a teammates shortcoming and not rather realize it part of the job. The ,Blue and Gold Machhll deal of that. Going to the other side of the bleachers at Ralston Fi team also demonstrated this great teamwork. Tri-captain realized that the boaters had no great player like last phenomena Do.v Soliaminski, but they compensated for more as a team. As their record indicates, the team pla and sho uld be better next year. Watch it in the winter sports-that teamwork. Its an · that few team's have in great abundance.

Coach Ted Toluba commented, "Considering what we had to work with, I would have to say t,~e seas~n. turned out pretty good. Surpr1smgly, the players themselves thoug~t they could have played better. Mike Bergbauer, an outstanding worker on defense, had this to say: "We should've won a few more games. A few more goals and we could have been 9-2. We'll have to see what happens next season." Coach Toluba was referring to the fact that most of the players had not worked together before but still played team ball. B_ogusko and Combellack agreed with Toluba when they said their teamwor_k was great, much better than their oppositio~s_'. biggest boost_ ~~e team receiv~d was the acqmsiho!1 o_f some fine freshmen. T~ny Tangi, Bill Castor, and Bob Lmaberry formed a respectable defensive unit. Garabedian, Ed Weber, and Doug Cox showed they could contribute to the offense. Thus it is evident that the decision the coaches and players made at the beginning of the season to play freshmen and forfeit all conference games was a good one . Coaches Jim Nedoff and Toluba now have an experienced group of players returning next season, something they would not have been a'b le to look forward to had freshmen not played. And what of next year? Everyone will be working to improve the 7-4-1 record. But the loss of Benson, Bogusko, Tarbet, and the other seniors will prove costly. The first two were responsible for the team's tight defense and the latter for the Colonels' scoring punch. If the teamwork continues, everything else should fall in place. !he 0000□0□□□□□□□□□00□□□□□□□□□ ULATIONS, Gridders, season. ooo□□oaooooo□o□ o□□□cooooo□o□ Coke has the taste you never get tired of 1. 2. 3. 4.

Recently a night was conducted at Pocono Downs whereby gate receipts went to the Marine Corps Reservists and were used in the drive. Representatives of local ra dio stations have volunteered to devote parts of their broadcasts to urging their listeners to support the Marines in the Toys for Tots ventur e. Pete Gabrial of WARM, at a meeting h eld at the center to coordinate the activities of the final month of the campaign, suggested a caravan type affair complete with floats, similar to the United Fund Caravan. The Lake-Lehman High School Key Club offered to permit the Marines to solicit contributions a t its home football games. In previous years, trucks from the Reserve unit were used to garne r the contributions. This year, however, because of the cuts in the federal budget, the trucks will not be able to run constantly. The Reservists will therefore need the aid of various groups to help them in this capacity, and most likely pickup areas will be designated. The College was represented at the coordinating meeting, and to date its specific role in the campaign is undetermined. Individuals wishing to make contributions are urged to deposit or mail these to the Marine Corps Reserve Training Center, 1118 Wyoming Avenue, Wyoming, Pa. PLEDGE Continued from Page 1) pledge.

In a recent survey of the department heads, 100 per cent of those who resaid finals should be continued. Dr. 'Moravec, head of the Sociology Deen!, Dr. Hammer, head of the Education Department, and Dr. Wong, head theMathematics Department all agreed that finals serve an important purpose theevaluation of a student's progress and are necessary. Dr. Vujica, head of the Philosophy Department, said that we should be carein eliminating finals since we do not have comprehensive exams. He said h e ted to know as much about his students' progress as possible . If finals were be abolished he said he would have to add another test to his courses during semester. Dr. Fies ter in affirming finals said that he wants to know how much a stu1has assimilated from his courses; finals serve this purpose. He did concede t finals are not necessary in all courses but believes them to be mandatory English courses. Dr. Leach, head of the History Department, agres with Dr. Fiester that finals not necessary in all courses. He cited seminar and tutorial sessions as cases re finals would not be needed. However, he said finals are meant to be of · lance to the student, not an imposed burden. He feels the real burden falls nthe teacher who must grade the tests . Dr. Bellas, head of the Physics Department, most emphatically endorsed s. He said, "I wonder if4t>ur recent successful moon landing was ·the result of engineers who received their degrees from institutions not requiring final examinations! (Put y ourself in the astronauts' position!) "Would you or anyone else at the Beacon office like to be operated on by a surgeon who attended a medical school that did not give final exams? [An M.D . by correspondence courses!) "Final exams serve several purposes, two of which are that they ' tie th e course up in a package' by making one study and re-study and organize th e m aterial; and that they allow those students, who need it, the chance to rais e their grades. In this regard, I understand most European institutions do not give periodic exams throughout the course, a la American 'plan' - just the final. "In the editorial to which I refer (October 17th issue), in one brea th th e editor seeks the ending of final exams; and in th e other, open class cutting . .Just how, then, does the instructor determine a student's grad e - or should 'pass ' grades be given to those who merely pay tuition? (This would not be a bad idea . One can simultaneously take courses at a dozen institutions and graduate, aut omatically, from all at the same time . Also, a smaller college like Wilkes could open its doors to a million students - and still have room for more. H ere you go, Dr. Farley. Here's how you can raise $3 million for your new building!) "Why is it that the students who w ant no finals, who want op en class cutting, who do not want to be graded other than on a pass-fail system ar e th e very first people who want the college to establish a system wh er eby they can rate the faculty. " From these opinions, it would seem that Wilkes will maintain final examinations for the tim e being. The abolition of finals will certainly find little sup port among the faculty . ~;~::•::!;::= ~~ ~::+::!tf:!~~;:l !:e!r::~ !::+::!r ::!::+::( :~c:!::+.:f}~~!::+::!;:t!:.+::!r:::!::+::!t:::!::+::!t ~!::+::!f:::!::+::!;t::!::+::!r:::!::+::!:;f:!::+::!r:::!::+::!:::t!::+::!;;::::!::+::!t:::!::+::!r:::!::+::f:::::!::+::!r:::!::+::!:::)!::+::~.;: :(:!:+::!tt!::+::ft:!:+::f:t•:•::~;;: :::~::•::!ti::~::4'!11 i i ~ cy II T HE VOL.

New Proposal On Hazing Polity To Be Considered By SG Sunday Members of Student Government will meet in an important session on Sunday night at 6:30 to consider a proposal which will affect the lives - and peace of mind - of all future freshmen at Wilkes College. The proposal is to abolish hazing and it was discussed at length this past Sunday night by the Student Government with the decision made to put it to additional discussion and then a decisive vote this Sunday. Student Government President Dan Kopen said yesterday that the latest discussion and decision to put the "big question" to a vote is (Continued on Page 4) Thing of the Past??? �THE BEACON Page 2 ties'~ ed "1/i Editorials OPERATION MAIL C:ALL There is one area in which there shou Id be no contention between those who are pro or anti-war. The most docile dove and the most haugh ty hawk should both be united in supportin g those youn g m~,n who are serving our country in the swamps of Vietnam. Supporting our men in uni form should be a matter of course, regard less of one 's political beliefs . Often even the most bitter critics pause a moment wondering how to let the men know that the protests are concerning a matter of policy, and are not meant to disparage the bravery of men under fire. We think a perfect way to support those men is throu gh " Operation Mail Call Vietna m." An editorial appearin g in last Fri day's Wilkes-Barre Record outlined the purpose of this operation . Begun in 1966, Mail Ca ll has expanded into a nation-wide project designed to provide every service man in Vietnam with mail from home. It is an ideal way to show that we do care about the individuals involved in thi s war. It is not enou gh to protest the thou sa nds of dead. They ca nnot hear you. Rath er, we should provide some en co uragement to tho se men who are alive, and who mu st be terribly discouraged to spend the holidays so far from home . They can hear you . Th e Mail Call began as a project at Vil lanova University , a Jesuit institution with a studen t body of near ly 5,000 youn g men . Their id ea was to create a morale booster for the servicemen, regardless of race or religion. A team of 75 student volunteers checks all the mail to eliminate that containing propaganda, political slogans, crackpot comments and foul langua ge. The letters , cards and small packages , which are nu merous indeed , are sent to servicemen who receive little mail , or perhaps none at all . After processing, the letters go into mail bags that leave the Villanova campus around December 1 via military transport. Arran gements are made through the Evergreen Service Club at Fort Dix , New Jersey. Once it arrives overseas , the mail is distributed by company commanders , hospitals , USO's and the Red Cross . Care is taken that the mail is distributed to those to whom it will mean the most - those who are lonely or wounded or discouraged . Coeds are encoura ged to send photos . Clippings from newspapers and magazines concerning events here at home provide interestin g reading for those far away from these shores . Writers are encouraged to enclose addresses in the event a correspondence is desired. You can help by writin g and mailing your letter to Villanova University before December 1. We hope that our student body takes the time to write. We hope politics can be submerged in the true spirit of Christmas which includes not only peace on earth but goodwill toward all men . A NEW LOOK Anyone who ha s wandered around Wec kesser Hall this year has probably di scovered its new look . No , we do not refer to any form of interi or decorating or renovatio n to the building itself. Rather, we refer to three new dean s who joined our Campus ve ry recently- Mrs Linda Habrock, Miss Jane Lampe , and Joel Rome. Each is young, attractive, and extremely personable . The se outward characteristics are more important than they may seem. Seeing a smilin g, good-lookin g face when one steps into the inne r sanctums immediately helps one 's spirit, no matter what the reason for the visit. The old fears of approachi ng a dean about anything diminish somewhat In addition to the exterior characteristics, we also find the new breed understandin g, willing to help , and up-with-thetimes. Students would find it difficult to express dissatisfaction with a generation gap. Let 's face it - that scarcely exists! The se deans know the problems of our generation intimately. Rather than preach to us, or impose restrictions from other eras, they have gone far to listen and keep up. We do not agree totally on some thin gs. That is to be expected - for no matter how you look at it - they are the admin· istrators and we are the students. But the old hassles concerning such trivia as pulling down shades, closin g lounge doors in certain circumstances, and eliminating a dress code for girls show that they are determined to make thin gs as comfortable and sensible for us as possible . The new deans also embody those things they wish to instill in the student body. They can be spotted at many campus activities and events . Usually they seem to enjoy them as fully as any Wilkes student. All this is not to minimize the contributions of the deans we already have. Deans George Ralston , Arthur Hoover, and Dr. Francis Michelini have all exhibited the same courtesies and attitudes. Their spirit and dedication to this College and their helpfulness to Wilkes students are legend . We thank them for the job they have done and the job they are doing so well. To the new deans we extend a hearty welcome and best wishes as we anticipate the job they can do. CONGRATULATIONS On behalf of the student body, The Beacon staff would like to extend congratulations to the gri d team . Our men won their fifth MAC title in a row last week after defeatin g PMC . Surely the team has every right to be proud of this accomplishment. At the same time we wish them contin- ued success tomorrow when they meet Indiana State of Pennsylvania in the distant mountains . The game will almost certainly be a tough one, but we have faith that the team will display the pride and poise that have made us so proud for so long. Good luck!

A spectator not too familiar wit h the sport wo ul d not identify the differences as the game was p layed in yesteryear a n d as it is today. The ru les which shape and govern football are basically the same as they were 25 yea rs ago. The most significant rule change with respect to the overall conduct of the game has been the substitution rule. This rule change brought about larger squads and made possible greater specialization relative lo the skills involved in the gam e. This rul e change increas ed game action but it also retarded the progression of the game. In addition to this factor the substitution rule advanced th e stra tegy phase of the game. The action is not a ll on the fie ld. The substitution rule brought about greater strategy on the sidelines and eve n in the computer rooms (use of co m puters is not uncommon for play analysis, pattern diagnosis, etc ., where footba ll is big business). The sub stitution rule has eve n helped ch ange the gam e to a detailed and co mpl ex statistical index (statistics really add nothing to the game, but it is a m ea ns for increasing broader participation in the spectator sector. Statisticians are an organized part of modern football). There have been changes in the equipment used but the appearance is basically the same .

Jus t in case the inference isn't obvious h, in the middle of "Carry That Weight," is a repris e of "You Never Give Me Your Money." The word "boy" carries the same implications that Cleaver asserted in his bestseller "Soul on Ice," when he said that the white racist society had deprived the Negro of his manhood. Also in " Songs of Innocence," (song nu m ber 7, to be exact, which, incidentally, is how high the Beatles count when they recite that lit tle couplet in "You Never Give Me Your Money") there is a description of a group of childr en of all races, colors, and creeds. They are in a procession being led to a better life . The procession is being led by beadles. I'll let th at pass as a coincidence, lest it become frightening. While I'm mentioning the influence of Blake on Lennon and McCartney, I'm going to take it one wild step further. In another of his poems, Blake calls a hammer a device of God in tended for the betterment of mankind . In the song "Maxwell's Silver Hammer," the Silver Hammer becomes significant if you consider that the Beatles used to call themse lves the Silver Beatles. Adding those together, the Silver Hammer is personi'fied as the Beatles themselves, which in turn becomes a device of God intended for the betterment of manki nd. Modest of them to say so. When Maxwell brings the Silver Hammer down on his head, he isn't committing s uicide . When the Beatles talk about bringing some thin g down on your head, they simp ly are not talking about physical violence . Not the Beatles. The album ends with a song appropriately enough entitled "The End." Lennon and Harrison both play lead guitar, each on e tries to outdo the other and both nearly succeed. Th e last lines are " .. . and in the end, the love you take is eq ual to the love you make." Bet you never looked at it that way before.

These unheralded men are responsible for the safety of the campus during the evening hours, when most destruction takes place. The above-mentioned men and their crews are under the jurisdiction of Mr. Charles Abate. As business manager of the College, all the major orders for the maintenance staff come from his office . Mr. Abate controls all ordering procedures made by faculty and Administration and is also responsible for assigning parking spots for college personnel. The tasks the maintenance staff perform are of a varied nature. Besides working to keep students in comfort, the staff assists faculty and Administration by opening and closing buildings at specified times for various classes and meetings. The crew was quite instrumental recently in assisting many dormitories and clubs with constructing their homecoming displays. According to Mr. Carle, the brunt of the crew's work falls on holiday vacations and the summer months. This past summer the 58-man staff renovated Ashley and Butler Halls for student residences and also moved the music department from those buildings to the new Music Building. A student request for bunk beds in the New Men's Dormitory also proved a problem. The bunks which were originally delivered to the college were not the size ordered and this tedious work had to be duplicated. "We put in over 700man hours on that little mistake which the manufacturers made," commented Mr. Carle. Another major task each summer is the re -surfacing of th e gymnasium. Joe Lesko and a staff of two students completed this two-month job of scraping, sanding and painting the gym floor. DAILY WORK. Three members o f the maintenance crew remove a tree on college property . John Yanchik, a foreman, disassembles the saw w hile the "Colonel" and Shabann Ghanam gather the pieces. Along with the monumental tasks previously mentioned, th e crew was also responsible for the reno vation of Pickering Hall and the moving of the Art Department to that building; the renovation of Weckesser basement for the registrar's and the evening school director's new offices; and the renovation and re -painting necessary for many dormitories. The biggest project undertaken last summer involved the renovation of the basement in the New Men's Dormitory to be used as the new college bookstore. With a staff of eight to 10 men working daily on this job, the move was completed satisfactorily and the student body is enjoying the use of the new facility . The move was done entirely by the plumbers, carpenters, and general labor which the 'College has at its disposal. The staffs work is never done, for Mr. Carle must be on call 24 hours a day. Sometimes calls come in for such unorthodox problems as squirrels which come in windows, pigeons which fall down into fire places, and a fire alarm which was set off at 3 :30 a.m., creating havoc in a women's dorm . However, Mr. Carle and his enthusiastic staff profess to enjoy their work. Asked if there were any specific problems involved, he mentioned vandalism. Then he added, "And sometimes w e wish people would be more patient. With 70-odd buildings to care for, it just is not possible to do everything immediately." Peace Corps Continued from Page 1} supervised overseas graduate work. "This integrated program is based on our two -fold conviction that (1) to combine the college and Peace Corps experien ces is to make both more relevant and mean ingful and the personal product more valuable, (2) to provide much-needed skilled specialists - mathematics and science teachers - as Peace Corps Volunteers in Latin America is to make a significant contribution to all concerned, " said President Albert Warren Brown, of the State University College at Brockport in announcing the extension of this unique partnership . Various Cities Participate In Peace March Yesterday at sunset, in a grassy field near Arlington National Cemetery, the "March Against Death " began. Sponsored and organize d by the New Mobilization Committee, the march is expected to last until 11 a.m. ·Saturday. Some 45,000 people are exp ected to participate in the single.!file procession which will tak e th em pas t the White House to the Capitol Building, the terminal point of th e march. At 11 a .m. Saturday, a memorial service is scheduled, after which there will be a mass march on a yet-undetermined route. The marchers want Pennsylvania Av enu e, but the Secret Service has refused to concede a permit for this route. In all Jikelihood, the President, by order of the Secret Service , will be moved to Camp David by h elicopter should there be any hint of trouble. A similar march is sch eduled to take place in Los Angeles. The local Peace Sunday Committee will ·be conducting activities on Public Square all day tomorrow . The Moratorium Committee, sponsor of th e October 15 Moratorium, will sponsor additional events in New York City, Chicago and other cities. Susan Miller of th e NMC had this to say about the "March on Death" : " ... it is not the r esult of sentiment, bleeding hearts, or hypocritical machinations of the political left. It is a sober recognition of what the war has cost in human life and suffering." Bertocci Continued from Page 1} tion. He has also published various books, among them: "Empirical Argument for God in Late British Thought, " "Introduction to Philosophy of Religion" and "Personality and the Good.

The Gold Machine rolled to a 34-0 victory over PMC last week for its second shutout in a row and second big win. The offense is really up, as it has scored over 80 points in the last two games.

Colonels To Face 7-1 Indiana State by Rick Bigelow The 1969 edition of the Wilkes College football team closes its regular season tomorrow at Indiana, Pennsylvania, with 18th ranked Indiana State University providing the opposition . The Colonels go into the game with a 6-1 record and have won their last three games in a row. The Indians go into the contest with a 7-1 record and a two-game winning streak. Coach Chuck Klaussing •fi elds an experienced , ve teran team with letterm en at nearly every position . Th e Indians lost 17 le ttermen through graduation but return ed 16 le tt er winners, including quarterback Wally Blucas. Blucas is th e team lead er . Besides being a co· captain, he holds the IUP record for total offens e with over 3,400 yards to his credit. The 6'1 ", 205-pound Blucas has been a starter for four years and is rated as a fine AllAmerican prospect. IUP returns six other starters from last year's explosive offensive unit. These include running backs Dan Cox (5·10, 185) and Tom Mc· Kracken (5-10, 190). Cox gained 696 yards last year while McKracken carried for 493 yards . The top receiver is speedy flanker Dave Smith (6-2, 205), who caught 35 passes for 616 yards last year.

Coach John Reese opened practice two weeks ago to the largest turnout in Wilkes ' history, confident of rep e ating as MAC champions. The squad normally carrie s 18-24 grappl ers, but this year the fr eshm en alone account for 18 would-b e Colonel matmen. Of cours e, Coach Rees e is pleased with the abundance of material, but th ere are problems. "Since we , hare the gym with the basketball te am, we are restricte d in the area available to us . We cut five or six boys already. I would prefer to ke.e p everyon e, but there just is not enough space . Also, we expect to hav e more boys out after the soccer and football seasons end ." First Meet Dec. 6 Th e team's first meet is on De ce mb e r 6. It is a quadrangular with Iona State, The University of Buffalo, and Montclair State participating and Wilkes as host. The meet will consist of three matc hes, two in th e afternoon and one at ;ight. Preparing for an opening meet like this one, require s a sacrifice from each participant. The practice s chedule now calls for the boys to run thr ee miles be fore each practice . After th e season is started, it will be cut to two miles . When the boys return to the gym, Coach Reese puts them thro u gh another hour and a half of grueling calisthenics and wrestling holds. 'A Championship Team' The wrest ling mentor feels his grapplers have the requirements necessary for good wrestling. "They are all dedicated. They have to be in order to remain in top physical condition and also diet to meet class w eight. Of course they benefit in that they are a part of a championship team." The coach predicts anoth er outstanding year for the matmen. "Last season we were ranked fourth na tionally. I fee l we c·an improve on that. Don't forget, a lot of factors come into consideration during the season. Injuries and ill health are the most common on es. However, we have the best potential in my years here and, barring disasters, we should take the MAC championship and do we ll in the national tournament. " A ke y factor in the coach's pre d iction is the return of all of last year's team except for Joe Wiendl, who graduated, and Steve Kaschenbach , who will return next semes ter after he recovers from strep throat.

"He is very diligent and thorough ." Coach Toluba keeps up with the latest developments and is very good at passing this information on to th e players. Bogusko 's biggest thrill as a socce r player came in his sophomore year. A highly-rated Muhlenburg team came to Wilkes after winning nine straight. It left 9 and 1, after a 2-1 defeat. Dave also plays lacrosse. As a member of the attack team in Wilkes' premier showing, he scored six goals a gainst Kutztown for a s chool record. This season Dave is a co-captain and h e tak es this responsibility seriously. "I have to be careful not to relax from the rules set by Coash Toluba . If the co-captain doesn 't adh ere to them, why should any on e else? They keep a player in top physical condition which is a definite requirement of soccer." Bogusko compares this year's team to past Colonel squads fa vorably . "We lack the outstanding individual talent which characterized Wilkes teams in the past few years. We lack an Ed Manda or a Jim Kennedy. But, overall, w e work as a team. We have great morale and faith in each other on the field. Our most valuable asset is our goalie , Chip Eaton. He is one o'f th e best 'l have seen." Th e team 's statistics s peak we ll for Bogusko . Hurt by a weak offense , the Colonel hooters have had to rely on a stringent defense to insure their six victories. Bogusko and his teammates do th eir job so well the team has allowed less than two goals per game. Ask Chip Eaton if "Bug" does his job. He'll tell you. by Stan Pearlman The 1969 version of th e Wilkes College cage team opens its season und er the guidance of Coach Ron Rainey on Decem·ber 1 against a strong Madison Fairleigh-Dickinson College team. Coach Rainey had th e fo llowing to say about the team's chan ces fo r the coming season : "Thi s is th e most experienced team we 've ever had here at Wilkes, and with an adequate job from our inside men this may very well turn out to be the m ost successful cage team in the history of the school." The captain of this year's sq uad is senior forward Herb Kemp . During his career at Wi lkes, Kemp has been named to the All-MAC second team in 1968-69, and chosen as the team's most valuable player in 1967-68. Muc h of the Colonel su ccess fo r . this season will depend upo n Kemp's ability to get the ball off the boards to trigger the fastbr.aak. In the other corne r spot will probably be Bob Ockenfus, senior history major from East Hampton, New York. Ockenfuss was out most of last season with a broken ankle and is counted on to r egain th e form h e displayed during hi s sophomore season. He is also a member of the Dean's List, and a letter winne r in golf. Sharing the rebounding ch ores with Kemp and Ockenfuss will likely be Rich Davis at 6'5" and 205 pounds. During his high school career, Davis was a me mber of the All-Scholastic Wyom ing Valley team for two straigh t season s. He was the Colo n el leader in 'field goal percentage last year with 51 per cent from the field an d is expected to carry a large part of th e scoring load th is season. year's junior varsity captain fr om Brooklyn, New York; Charli e W e tzel, Wyoming Vall ey Conferen ce (1967-68) most valuabl e player; and Terry Jones , sp eedy sophomore guard out of Uniondale, Pa ., along with Jim Hanak, tall est man on th e sq uad at 6' 7" , give th e Colone ls a capabl e bench forc e. Reimel Returns at Guard The fr eshman team for this s eason is a lso th e most promisin g in th e history of the coll ege, and a full 14-game s chedul e has been se t up in order to give it th e pla yin g time. Mike Bachkosky , 6' 4" ce nt er and a second team All-Sch olastic from Pittston Are a High School, will lead th e frosh a tta ck, with suppor t from young play ers like Ma rk E.

Things went quite well for all involved. The queen was lovely. The team won the game. The displays looked colorful. And open house caused no problems-that is not unusual. There was no feeling of novelty attached to the open house. Friends came by to sit and chat and comment on rooms. No wild parties or crazy antics resulted from the freedom . Actually, it seemed very natural and infinitely more relaxing than the nightly charade that takes place in lounges night after night. When will people come to realize that there is nothing wrong with wanting to entertain friends in peace and quiet? This arrangement affords us the ,freedom to sit and listen to favorite albums without disturbing eight other couples. Conversations do not have to be shared with the rest of the Campus. And nothing is "bound to happen" behind closed doors. As one coed put it, "The last place anyone would try to get away with anything is in a dorm where your roommate or a housemother is free to walk in anytime! " When will those from above wake up and understand that we are asking for basic privacy? Let's face it - there is no place to go on this entire Campus and be alone with anyone. The Commons has neon lights and constant laughter. Lounges have lots of people who have equal right to be there. , I I Open house was killed last year by the Council of Deans, after a poll showed that students favored it by a huge majority. Until recently, no one has brought it into focus again this year. So far no one has given us a clear indication of what is wrong with open housing. On the occasions it is permitted, students have handled it with decorum and dignity. If, indeed , as one Dean said last year, "Wilkes students are not ready for it," then something is wrong. Why are students at so many other institutions ready for this, and so much more? Are we so much less mature than others of our age? Have we demonstrated that we cannot handle ourselves? We think not! The old arguments of inconvenience to others in a dormitory just don't stand up. Those not desiring company can simply close their doors. Common courtesy could be followed as normally as it does con cerning the function of other College institutions. Isn't it time we were given a chance to try it on a probationary basis? The three times a year we are allowed to do so, we carry through successfully. What is the real reason for the Administration's reluctance? WHERE ARE YOU?

Instances of an assumption of a greater degree of self-determination by college students are abundant on small-college campuses. The success with which students are assuming these responsibilities have made it increasingly apparent that students are justified in their desire to play a significant role in shaping the institutions of which they are a part. At Wilkes we have had such an opportunity presented to us. Not by accident, but rather th rough continued effort over the past few years by several student governments , the faculty, and the Admin istration, we have received approval for student representation on virtually all faculty committees. Student Government is currently engaged in the evaluation of applications from the student body for committee positions. A particularly sharp commentary on the nature of student complaints can be made in light of the response to this development. We wou Id estimate that over 1500 students on our campus satisfied the minimal criteria established for committee membership. Of these 1500 students , fewer than 30 applied for positions on the dozen faculty committees open to us. Now, it seems fair to assume that somewhat more than 2% of the eligible student body as represented by the applicants have at one time or another expressed dissatisfaction of sorts with policies of our College. However, when the opportunity to effectively speak up presented itself, only a few students were willing to take positive steps toward changing often-complained-about conditions. Chronic complainers, whom we of Student Government have had ample opportunity to listen to over the past few years, chose to mask themselves behind a cloak of indifference to constructive participation. Student Government welcomes the opportunity to have students placed on col lege committees, and we are far more concerned with the quality than the quantity of applicants. To be certain, we feel that the student body will be creditably represented by many of those who have applied. Through such participation we can now work together with the faculty and Administration to achieve a common goal of improvement through mutual trust and respect. Finally, we look to this opportunity as a turning point in the attitude of a substantial portion of our student body. We were clearly faced with a situation demanding a choice by each student - to speak up or shut up. We thank those who chose to speak up and we will work conscientiously with them to effect reasonable change. We hope that the 98 % who chose the latter alternative will remain consistent with their decision . Guest editorial by: Dan Kopen President of Student Government I want to take this moment to thank you for your wonderful edition of the Beacon Octo'ber 24. It seems impossible to think that after our football team lost for the first time in four years and had a 32 game winning streak snapped, that I would enjoy reading the Beacon that week. However, as I read column after column I became more and more proud of the accomplishments of our team and the reaction of our students toward th e team. To realize what a wonderful unifying effect the team has had on the whole student body, and th e sense of pride it has instilled in eve ryone at Wilkes, should make the players, coaches, and everyone concerned realize that their efforts over the last four years have had a tremendous impact on the school and the community.

Police Brutality Revealed In Walker Report by Frank Mccourt "Medium Cool" is not about the Chicago riots; it is the Chicago riots. You remember when 15,000 Hippies and Yip·pies went to ·Chicago to ask for peace and Mayor Daley took the precaution of having them beat so that they wouldn't cause any trouble? And remember how the police got carried away or over-reacted or something? Well, that's "Medium Cool." The cast is tremendous. It includes the Chicago Fire Department, 6,000 regular Army troops in full combat gear, 6,000 Illinois National Guardsmen and 12,000 of Mayor Daley's finest. There is also a loosely-constructed plot which adds to the contrast and horror of the film. If you're a revolutionary, you'll want to see this movie . If you're not, you had better see it. There were 'basically two groups present among the protestors . In addition to those who had gone to ask for peace, there was a large number who went because they felt the 'Democrats had been unresponsive to the urban crisis. "Medium Cool" emphasizes these two aspects of the civilian contingency by revolving its story about a family living in poverty, the husband of which is in Vietnam. The mother of the family dies at the end of the film, which is quite symbolic of the answer which was given those who had gone to protest the urban crisis . Unfortunately, "Medium Cool" is only" a look at the light side of the riots. Some of the things that hap pened you simply could not put on a public movie screen. It also must be realized that the police performed their extra special atrocities when they knew they \.\ ere off camera. The Walker Report was the result of the official government investication into the conflict which occurred at the Chicago Democratic Convention in August 1968. The Walker Report was presented to the Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence. It is essentially an impartial account of the conflict, based on 3,437 eyewitness statements, 20,000 still photos, and 187 hours of corporate and private film . The following statements were made under oath by reputable persons. I say that because the tendency is to disbelieve what you are about to read. From a UPI reporter: "One officer, with a smile on his face and a fanatical look in hi s eyes, was standing on a three-wheel cycle, shouting, 'Wahoo, wahoo,' and trying to run down people on the sidewalk." The Walker Report explains that the violence was anticipated by the police. The following statement appeared in most of the country's underground papers two weeks before the convention: "The word is out . .. Chicago may host a festival of blood. If you feel compelled to cavort, then this is action city. There is no reason to wear flowers for masks . If you want to go up against the wall, then come ." From the 'Chicago police handbook: " ... the baton and chemical Mace may only be used when the officer reasonably believes such use is necessary to make the arrest, defend himself, . . . or to prevent the escape of a person already arrested. The police officer is cautioned against swinging his baton as a club, poking a person with it, and is ordered n ever to strike a person on the head with the ·baton." (TB Vol. VII, No. 19) The most costly mistake the Chicago police made was to turn on the press. The press was the link from Chicago to the rest of the world. The press contingentent 'present for the Chicago ·Convention was no assortment of rookie reporters. Quite the opposit, it was a compendium of the top men in the business. Nationwide viewers could have seen CBS' Dan Rather beaten to the ground on network tel evision . Walter Cronkite found occasion to call the police "thugs." Chet Huntley on NBC network radio had the following comment : ", .. the undeniable manner in which the Chicago police are going out of their way to injure newsmen, is what is going on. We in the calling of journalism have hesitated to talk about our problems in Chicago . .. but the hostility has become too much and it has become our duty to speak out." Hugh Downs asked his NBC viewers if there was any word other than "pig" to describe the Chicago police. No prominent figure of the entire news media condoned the actions of the Chicago police. Making enemies of TV, radio, and newspaper reporters also made the Chicago ·police enemies of those who depended solely upon those media for information regarding the convention. That, needless to say, is a considerable sum of people. Perhaps no statement better summed up the feeling of those who could not bring themselves to condone the police actions, than that of Paul Krassner when after the conflict, he said: "We ·won, Mr. Daley." full time graduate studies teacher. His name having been referred to and highly recommended, Mr. Kell-y was chosen to fill this post. Along with this office, he is also a member of the Board of Directors for the Red Cross and Chairman of its Disaster Committee. Having been a Wilkes College undergraduate himself, Mr. Kelly lends these comments concerning our campus and students. He believes that inter-personal relationships should be one of the most highly valued opportunities Wilkes can offer. These help formulate those major points essential in comprising one's background. The cold, institutional feeling sometimes associated with college campusess does not have to exist as is proven through our own campus. He ·feels that the Wilkes atmosphere is one that should be appreciated by its students now, for it will certainly be so later in life as all of us look back to our years by Caleb McKenzie here.

The Cadets are 2·3 on the year while the Colonels are now 5 and 1. Coach Bill Manlove's charges are in the throes of a rebuilding year as is evidenced by the fact that there are only 5 seniors on the squad. Like most young, inexper· ienced teams, the Cadets ma·ke a lot of mistakes - some of which have cost them ball games - but as one looks at their prospects for next year, it appears as if this rebuilding year is justified. The offensive leader is sophomore quart erback Barry Radcliffe (5-11, 170) who took over the sig· nal calling chores in mid season . Radcliffe is a scrambling, rollout quarterback who also does the placekicking. His primary receivers are Wayne Blalark (6-2, 195) and Greg Weckel (6·0, 170) .' The top rusher is Fred Baumert (5-10, 190) who scored PMC's only touchdown last week on an 11 yard run . The offensive line is led by Ed Frame (6-0, 225) and Vic Golat (6-0, 235). The Cadets employ an Arkansas Pro type defense . Defensive leaders are linebackers Glenn Walrath (6·0, 190) and Jim Byrnes (5-10, 210) and defensive halfback Tony De· Biasse (6-1 , 180) The 'Cadets employ a pro type offense and tend to put the ball in the air a lot. Quarterback Radcliffe has a good arm and is capable of strong performances. How good he is will depend mostly on whether receivers Blalark and Weckel can get open.

Bill Murphy missed a penalty kick in the fourth quarter and Ed Garabedian just missed his corner kick late in the final period. Tomorrow, the hooters, 6-4-1, take on Susquehanna, a team which is always good, always consistent. Last year the Colonels trounced them, 5-0. The scoring should be more plentiful down in Susquehanna.

Corba New Pool Mentor by Stan Pearlman A re·building program is underway at Wilkes in an area other than the Cunningham Hall complex. It centers around the Colonel swimming team, and it has resulted in the appointment of Robert Corba as head swimming coach. Coach Corba is a 1966 graduate of Upper Iowa University and is presently a physical education instructor at Coughlin High School. He is married to te former Alice Koury and is the father of a two year old son, Robbie. While at Upper Iowa Coach Corba was a member of the varsity foo~ball squad and also participated on the school's swimming team where he performed the breaststroke, and gained some practical experience serving as student assistant coach . Coach Corba learned from his experience that a good understanding of the fundamentals in the sport is essential to a good performance , and so his plans for this year are to emphasize this aspect of the sport. One of the major problems until this season has been the unavailability of the YMCA pool for practice; the new coach plans to combat this problem by scheduling practice sessions at 6:45 a.m. until 8:00. If Coach Corba and his Colonel mermen aren't taking this season seriously, it's hard to believe since the early practice sessions will probably require getting out of 'b ed around 6:00 in the morning. If Coach Corba is worried about the prospect of the early practice sessions, he isn't showing it. He states, "if the boys are willing to get up for the practice sessions, than I'm certainly going to do all I can to bring a superior team to Wilkes. If this means getting up at 6 :45 in the morning in order to have a swimming team, then that's what I 'm going to do ." The Colonel coach cites the fact that the Colonel swimmers have nowhere to go but up after last season, and that he also expects an improvement in last year's record with the return of veterans like team captain Owen Lavery, Ray Salsburg, and Jim MacDonald. A winning attitude certainly has arrived with the appo intment of Coach Corba since he is also a member of Coach Rollie Schmidt's outstanding coaching staff. Things indeed look a little brighter for this year's swim team. o □□ o□o□□o □ oa □oo □□□ :::i □ooo::i □o::::i□□□□o□o□ oooooo □□ oooo □ GUNGA'S DEN For Th e Sophisticated Miss From High School to College Stude;ts "i?

Well then, this is my main gripe - I am protesting the unfairness of the percentage method of weather forecasting. I feel that if a person makes claims of his ability to predict the weather, then the least he can do is accept the blame when he makes an incorrect prediction. And, by the same token, if this person openly admits that he cannot accurately predict the weather, then I feel th e very least he can do is to shut up. Within the next five years, I predict a sixty percent chance of a reduction in the number of weathermen working in the United States.

Donna-Su was chosen in an allcollege election last week. Candidates included all female members of the senior class. The daughter of Irene and Jack Markey Brown, Donna resides in the 239 S. Franklin Street Dormitory. She graduated from Woodbridge Senior High School and has been active in the Education Club, Ski ,club, and Sociology Club while here at Wilkes. She is also past treasurer and vice-president of her dorm. She is attending Wilkes on scholarships from both the college and the State of New Jersey; and she plans to teach after graduation. " I was really surprised and happy," she said, when asked for her initial reaction to the news of her election. "In fact, I think I'm still in a state of shock. "Everyone seems so excited about Homecoming - more so this year than usual. I know the girls in my dorm are really enthused about our display. "I've always loved the feeling of tradition about Homecoming, and I hope that that feeling will continue around Wilkes for a Jong time. On so many campuses, it has just faded out." Two princesses, Cynthia Wodraska, originally from Washington Crossing, Pa., and Ann Barnes from Dallas, were also chosen.

I never expected anyone to 'k now who I was, especially since my last name changed. "My husband is very pleased, too. He's the one who told me that the voting was taking place the day that it did. I didn't know a thing about it." Cynthia is the daughter of Lois and Walter Jackson. She graduated from Pennsbury High School, and is a former resident of Warner Hall. While at Wilkes, she has been active in Cue 'n Curtain and the Russian 'Club. She is secretary of the latter, and is majoring in sociology.

A music education major, she has been a member of Cue 'n Curtain, I.D.C., Mixed Chorus, and the girls' hockey and basketball teams. The queen and her court will be presented at the Homecoming football game against Dickinson, which will take place tomorrow. Dr. Eugene S.

Cynthia Wodraska Ann Barnes �Friday, October 31, THE BEACON Page 2 • Editorials Another Generation Gap or1E HANOI'S BLJlC:liMJllL North Vietnam tried to use the appeal of two American women , who sought news about their war prisoner husbands, for propaganda purposes. Sue Shuman and Martha Doss of Virginia Beach, Va., were told that Hanoi would not release their war prisoner husbands unless they demonstrated against the war. Of course, the ladies refused. Mrs. Shuman and Mrs. Doss wanted to obtain the release of all the sick and wounded prisoners and spent 75 minutes pleading their case before two members of the North Vietnamese peace delegation in Paris. They were told they would have to wait until all the American troops are out of Vietnam and the war is over, but that if they wanted to speed their husbands' release, they should demonstrate against the war. The North Vietnamese were within their rights when they said that no prisoners would be released until after the war ends. Even the sick and wounded prisoners are rel eased only through a negotiated prison er exchange, in which prisoners of both camps are traded , presumably so that there would be no advantage to either side. This procedure is also true of prisoners in good health. Normally, they are traded as a part of the war settlement. But to ask two sorrowing women, come to inquire about the health of their husbands, to demonstrate against the war in order to secure their release, is downright blackmail. Mrs. Shuman and Mrs. Doss no doubt were tempted . But they knew their husbands would not want their release on such terms. Much as they wanted to see their husbands, they could not agree to betray the cause for which they fought. The price was too great. The experience should warn other wives and parents , sick with doubt about their sons and husbands who are prisoners of war, not to expect mercy, but insult, from the enemy. North Vietnam 's reply also showed demonstrators all too clearly whom they are helping. l.ettel'J tc t~e ~t/itcl' Mark Albert Condemns Editorial As 'Ludicrous,' Asks For Progressive Commentaries-1970 Style To the Editor: Did anyone ever tell you that your editorials are ludicro no matter, because I'm telling you now.

There's little question that the drop is a consequence of antimilitary attitudes nurtured by leaders of campus peace movements. Relatively few colleges have been afflicted by disruptions against ROTC and only a small number of institutions have voted to discontinue their programs. But the protests have had their impact elsewhere. In addition to providing financial aid for its members, ROTC helps to maintain a civilian perspective in the military officers ' corps and it improves the quality of future military leadership. nahoi Ii College e Hall a ention fc f a lette tish scien Donaho e, rned his ity of new typ, y him an ers coul w water is eans that the ordinary wal to form lar , like tho: d plastics. e believes t e the ability wrote in Na the ocearn 'a water un d ater on the obvious. sociated Pre e story to t the London d Donahoe paper editor.

Donahoe warned that polywater must not be allowed to escape into the open air or into the oceans. "I need not spell out in detail the consequences if the polymer phase can grow at the expense of normal water under any conditions found in the environment. Polywater may or may not be the secret the planet Venus is missing water. The polymerization of earth's water could turn her into a reasonable facsimile of Venus," he said. Donahoe has written a number of letters on his polywater studies. The professor said this week, "I am not easily persuaded that it (polywater) is not dangerous. The consequences of being wrong about this matter are so serious that only positive evidence that there is no danger is acceptable. Only the existence of natural mechanisms which depolymerize the material would prove its safety. Until such mechanisms are known to exist, I regard the polymer as the most dangerous material on earth.

Today this woman is more than just the Manager of the College Bookstore; she is an institution on campus. At 'her desk in the Bookstore "Millie" has watched many students struggle through those days of post-registration book-buying, and empty mail-slots that help make up the life of a college student. She has quietly watched the progress of many students as they struggled down that rough, four-year road to graduation and 'b eyond. "Some of the students at Wilkes now are children of those students I knew years ago," she said. And s'h e has followed some of those students to present-day activities. "I can vividly remember Art Hoover as a student at Wilkes, working in the Administration Building." Millie is a Ii ving his tori cal encyclopedia of Wilkes anecdotes. She enjoys dropping tidbits about the early days of Wilkes, and watching people react to such facts. "Almost all Wilkes stu dents realize that 'b efore Wilkes became a four-year college it was known as Bucknell Junior College. However, does anyone know that when Bucknell Junior College first opened its doors it did so on the block where King's College is now located?" And did you know that during World War II this school •offered a training program for Air Cadets? Ask Millie! Millie herself has played an important part in building Wilkes through numerous instances. She recalls how her car, a 1946 Willys coupe, was used to deliver baked goods to the old Ca£ in the mornings, to transport football uniforms in the afternoons, and to deliver The Beacon on Fridays. Millie puts up a good fight against apathy on campus by attending most sports functions. "In the past six years I have only missed one footlball game." And it can be proven that she is an enthusiastic fan. "Although not many people know about it today, but in 1947 I was made an honorary letterman." "Singing in the chorus at the dedi'Cation of Wilkes as a four-year institution will always be one of my fondest memories." Evidently Wilkes has become an important part of Millie's life. "In fact," she said, "Wilkes is my life." 1 Wm. 1.

Ritts, plant manager of ACCO's Wire Rope Division, Wilkes-Barre Plant, presented the check to Dr. Farley on behalf of the foundation, which has selected Wilkes 'College for the award as an expression of its interest in the fine work the College is doing within this community. The William T. Morris Foundation was established in 1937 by the late William T. Morris, at that time ACCO's president, wit'h the primary purpose to support education through donations to educational and charita'ble institutions, scholarship loans, and more recently, free college scholarships through its Memorial 'Scholarship Award Program. Since its inception, the Foundation has contributed more than $5,000,000 to institutions, another $2,500,000 in Joans, and over $800,· 000 in free scholarships .

Student Discussion At Recent Colloquy by Staff Writer Frank Mccourt Correspondent Rich Urciuoli It has become increasingly apparent that in today's world political labels are worthless. Liberals claim that they are open-minded. Con· servatives repudiate by saying that the trouble with being open-minded is that your brains might fall out. Liberals claim that conservatives are overcautious, and n ever accomplish anything. Conservatives say that liberals, in their rush to reform, are prone to making mistakes. A liberal defines a conservative as one Who would breed mice to save the mouse trap indPstry. Conservatives argue that liberalism destroys freedom by eliminating the responsibility that breeds humanism. And on and on it goes. For this reason we will refrain from discussing the political implications of the conference. For the most part, the Bucknell conference involved student leaders from all over the country. It should be pointed out that a stu· dent leader need not necessarily be a student. The general consensus of the conference on the following topics was as follows: Drugs - The general opinion is that the only thing wrong with marijuana is that it is a felony to possess it. It was also pointed out that the government has never seriously investigated most of the drugs it classifies as illegal. Black Man's Struggle-There has been an apparent split in the black revolution. Some want black capitalism, while some are searching for unity with the white youth movement. Religion - The more radical elements of the youth movement feel tp.at the present church is corrupt because corrupt people control and attend it. They advocate a neoAmerican church which would emphasize human rights and equality . Vietnam - Vietnam per se was not discussed as much as was its future . About half the people pres(Continued on Page 8) �Page4 Friday, October THE BEACON IREPORTER AT lARGE I Date Now Set STUDENT OPINI For Law Exam Given By ETS I'm certain most of of our readers n ever give a thought to what happ ens lb e'hind the scenes at The Beacon. Most likely you believe that the p aper kind of grows for a w eek and miraculo u sly appears in full bloo m on Friday aft ernoons . (Of cours e, ther e is a group of us who some tim es wish that was th e way it works!) A ctu all y, a lo t of hard work and preparation, with the emphasis on organizatio n, goes in to p u tting out the Times' chief rival. Witho u t th e k no wledge or co n sen t of my fellow edito rs I have decided to give yo u a peek at th e m ys terious me chanics of th a t pro ce ss k nown as "putting ou t The Beacon." On particularly he cti c evenings, n earin g a d eadline, the phrase is r evis ed to : "putting ou t th e - - - Beacon." The task is a con tinuous one fo r th e busy staff. Begin n ing on Monday w ith a staff meeting, we decide w h at will b e assign ed to appear in the n ex t issu e. Staffe rs p ut th eir h eads togeth er i n serious co ncen trati on and ideas fl y back and forth to be dissec ted by the editorial bo ard. Editor: "Well, kids, w e have n othing for page on e this w.?ek." Editors: "So what else is new?" Editor: "Right n ow th e decision for the lead s tory is between th e new b ooks in the librar y and a new scholarship bein g offered Maureen Klaproth to study Swahili. " Reporter : "How about if I commit suicide - yo u can run th at." Reporter No. 2: "Only if we have room on page 8!" So the commentary runs, with each person contributing his wealth of ideas . Some of the conversation runs the same week after week. Marlene is told to stop bringing hoagies with onions to the office. Pete complains about printers who don't like mustaches. Ronnie questions why his Coke ads are cut out. Mary yawns. Nancy types. Chuck yells . I cry. W e' r e one big happy family. On Tuesday, Sally reads galleys to discover all the mistakes of the paper completed the previous week. Tuesday nights are spent getting out assignments for the next week 's stories. This falls on little managing editor's head. One complaint: no one's ever home . Wednesday the page proofs are ready. Sally, Pete and I read th em over that evening. We curse the mistakes the printers make . We cry over th e ones we made. Layouts always seem different than they were planned. Heads n eve r fit above stories. Other than that, things proceed b eautifully. Thursday w e come in for an informal class to learn basic n ews writin g, layou t, copyreading, and head writing. We discover that w e cannot do for pretend what we do for real every week! (Don't ask me to explain that, I don't understand it myself!) Friday a nd Saturday w e are relatively free from work. But Friday afte rnoon our masterpiece comes out. Now everyone tells us of mistak es w e made. Everyone sits reading Beacons in the caf. That makes me feel good . Everyon e throws Beacons on their tray with the hoagies and pizza. That makes me feel sad. All that work - ending up with rejected hoagies . Sunday night is the big night. 'Some o'f us work in the afternoon, sifting through stories to see what we have to work with. Page layouts h ave to be done - showing where the stories will be situated . Editorials h a ve to b e written. Stories have to be headlined. Letters to the editor have to be read . Some complain about how w e over-emphasize sports.

W e have to chase Student Government out of our office . (Is th at you again, Jay?) Somehow the hodge-podge is p u t together. There is the one glorious moment every week when th e staff looks around a nd s ays: " Can we go now? " It's all over - the headach es an d 'headlin es .

Colonels, Dragons Forecast To Win by Steve Newman Dickinson at Wilkes Dickinson is 4-1 on the year. The latest victim to fall to the Red Devils was Muhlenburg, 29-13. The defense has yielded an average of 12.6 points per game while the offense averages 27.8 points. Quarterback Joe Wilson and flanker John Person are responsible for the Red Devils' potent offense. Coach Wil:bur Gobrecht has worked hard to improve last year's leaky defense. He 'has succeeded. Dickinson will be "up" to protect its win streak of four games. The Gold Machine showed its stuff in defeating a tough Vermont squad, 17-7. The defense played an outstanding game as Bob Ashton and Garf Jones took turns making the "big play." On the line, it was Mazur and Fick, or F.&M., combining for 20 stops. The offense was vastly improved over the Ithaca game. Ted Yeager was, well, magnificent. He cut and twisted and, yes, powered his way to 136 yards on 31 carries. It was a remarkable display of running ability. The offensive line certainly de serves credit for opening the holes, but sometimes he was forced to the outside when a hole failed to open. Otherwise the offense was sluggish. Key penalties stopped us from scoring several times. If we continue to hurt ourselves, Dickinson will take it. Wilkes by 14. Albright at Moravian The Lions defeated Drexel in an ups et, 28-21.

Franklin & Marshall by 7. ?Oise better than Ted Yeager. Commg off a sub-par performance against Ithaca, Ted stormed back with 136 yards in 31 carries, a school record. The team confidence and unbelievable fan support built to a boiling point Friday night and Saturday morning. But there were fears that a new and greater pressure had arisen - the fear of losing again. A loss that might end fan support. These fears never materialized, however, as Bob Ashton's two interceptions and Charlie Fick's outst anding line play, which enabled him to be named to the ECAC squad, paced the defensive efforts. The team's spirit changed overnight. No longer was the great overriding fear of losing present. Once again, football was to be played for fun at Wilkes. The team would struggle together, win together. Its efforts would be geared not to lose, but to win. And on Saturday afternoon the Catamounts of Vermont met an inspired, confident squad of Colonels. The Cats ' smiles of superiority after seeing tiny Ralston Field quickly disappeared after hearing the Colonels' home ground rock with over 5,000 fans. The stands rocked throughout the first half when the Colonels managed only a Dave Kaschak field goal to put them on the short side of a 7-3 score.

The defense forced eight turnovers, five fumbles and three interceptions, which allowed Ted Yeager and Company to score. Borb Gennaro scored the first Colone! TD from four yards out to put them ahead, 10-7. And late in the fourth quarter quarterback Joe Zakowski rolled out to his right and crashed into the end zone, scoring by inches to put the game out of reach, 17-7. What inspired this second-half burst? Although many factors contributed to it, a few must be singled out. Conditioning, pride, and support, loyal support from the students, and a desire to prove something to everybody once and for all were the deepest incentives to win. There were no revisions of the game plan at halftime, nor were any major plays drawn on the blackboard. The only words spoken by Coach Roland Schmidt over the team's shouting were, "Just go play football like you know how!" We did, and we won. Tomorrow Dickinson challenges the Gold Machine to a duel of strength. The Red Devils will try to contain the Wilkesmen's offense and penetrate our defense. Tomorrow, the Colonels will just be playing football like they know how. Sports Ed. note: Tomorrow is the last home appearance of the seniors on the Gold Machine. These seniors have played on Ralston Field for four years and have not seen a defeat. A remarkable feat for a remarkable bunch of players. Congratulations!

This time the victim of the hooters' surge was Wagner College, a team that Wilkes managed to defeat 1-0 last year. However, playing at Ralston Field this past Friday our hooters totally dominated play and came out 4-1 victors. Wilkes began bombarding the Wagner goal right from the first whistle and scored its first marker with only 3 :18 gone in the first period. Bill Tarbart put this goal in after a battle for the ball in front of the Wagner goal. Rich Combellack received an assist for help in getting the ball to Tarbart. Following this play Wilkes went on to score two more quick tallies in the first period. Both these came on shots by Rich Combellack after taking passes from Tony Tangi and Bob Linaberry, resp ectively. Thes e two goals by Combellack give him a total of five for the year and a tie for the lead in that department on the Wilkes team. The goals also gave Wilkes a 3-0 lead at halftime since neither team could score during the second period. . Although being down 3-0 at the start of the second half, Wagner would not fall over and die and came back with a goal on a 'high arching shot that the wind caught hold of and blew around the outstretched arms of goalie Chip Eaton. This was all that Wagner was able to acco mplish, and once again it was Tarbart who raised the Wilkes lead to three goals. Tarbart put a perfect h ead ball into the corner of th e Wagner goal after taking a fine corner kick from Combellack. This goal was Tarbart's fifth of the year and tied him with Combellack for the team lead. Between them, Tarbart and Combellatk have accounted for 10 goals and five assists to pace the team in the offensive department. This past Wednesday Wilkes travelled to Harpur to take on a team that th e Blue and Gold were able to defeat last year, 5-0. If things continued as they have for the past three games, another Wilkes victory should have been recorded. Tomorrow Wilkes will take on Madison FDU in the annual Homecoming game to begin at 10:30 a.m. at Ralston Field. A good turnout is appreciated, and with the team putting out as it usually does those fans who come will be sure to see an exciting, hard-fought battle.

When asked how the team looks, Coach Ron Rainey replied, "We have good experience coming back this year with five returning lettermen and seven sophomores. This year the freshmen will have their own program with a 12 or 14-game schedule ." The team started practice on October 15 for its first away game on Decemb er 1 with Madison . Coach Rainey commented, " One of the most important parts of the basketball team is the conditioning and practice of the team before the regular season."

Eaton is a sophomore from Watchung, N.J. Here h e lettered four years in baseball and two in soccer. In his senior year, Chip sustained a ruptur ed spleen during a game. After an operation and full recovery, scouts from major schools were reluctant to recruit Chip, thinking his soccer career was finished.

Ma rkel St., Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Since small college football teams such as Wi lkes have been "left out in the cold," the NCAA has announced the inauguration of two "small college bowls" this year, one in the East and the other in the West. The two games, to be played as close to Thanksgiving as possible, were named after Amos Alonzo Stagg and Knute Rockne, two of the most publicized coaches in the 100-year history of college football. According to NCAA sources, Wilkes is a prime candidate for the Rockne Bowl, to ·be played on the campus of one of the participating schools. Other schools under observation are Johns Hopkins, Tufts, Ithaca, Lebanon Valley, Cortland, Wagner, and Delaware State. This bowl game obviously eliminated any Colonel hopes to play in the Boardwalk Bowl in Atlantic City. Last season the Wilkesmen were serious candidates for the offshore 'bowl. -NOTICE - Chris Shaw, head of the local Peace Sunday Committee, has arranged to charter busses to the Washington, D.C., demonstrations scheduled for November 13 and 14. Busses will leave at approximately 4 p.m. Thursday and midnight Friday. The total round-trip cost is $11. For reservations or additional information, call Sunny Caldwell at 825-5625.

Once the polymer nuclei become dispersed in the soil, it will be too late to do anything. Even as I speak, undoubtedly there are scores of groups preparing the material. Scientists everywhere must be alerted to the need for extreme caution in the disposal of polywater. Treat it as the most deadly virus until its safety is established," he said . Polywater is not unknown to other scientists throughout the world. In Moscow, the Academy of Science is hard at work with research and experiments. In England, since 1966, two groups have been working with the material. Two groups in the United States - one at the University of Maryland, the other in the Bureau of Standards - have published the resuits of their work. Groups in industry also have been studying the material. Yet, in spite of this research, according to Donahoe, no one to 'h is personal knowledge has been concerned with its safety factors. "Here at Wilkes, we are trying to find reactions which destroy it to prove that there will be no gradual increase in its amounts or threat to life on earth." In the interests of this safety, Donahoe's experiments call for the introduction of soil bacteria into polywater to determine whether the polywater is destroyed by the bacteria, returning it to normal water. The scientist is being assisted by Doctors William 0. Faut, John Labows and William Stein of the chemistry department, and Doctors Grace Kimbel and Robert Ogren of the biology department.
