Wilkes Eleven Determined To Bounce Back From Tragic Finale to 32-Game Win Record by Pete Herbst, Sports Editor The Blue and Gold Machine gets set to roll again tomorrow and start a new win streak after dropping its first game in over four years. The Bombers of Ithaca got into the record book by downing the Colonels, 13-7. Thus the 32-game winning streak which began on October 16, 1965 came to an end on October 18, 1969. Playing on 'home turf, the Bombers scored minutes after rec eiving the opening kickoff. After a pass and a penalty the Bombers had the 'ball on the Wilkes 34 when halfback Rod Howell carried to the four on five carries .

Four-Day Colloquy Held at Bucknell by staff writer Frank Mccourt correspondent Rich Urciuoli -Bucknell's fourth annual Colloquy was held last weekend on the campus at Lewisburg. Students from renowned colleges and universities, editors of controversial magazines and newspapers, authors of controversial 1books, and the leaders of various ad hoc organizations all w ere present to share and exchange their philosophies and ideas. When we arrived on the campus, about 50 pages of assorted literature were dumped into our laps. We were told to keep clean, because due to the quality of people that would be present on the campus, a 'b ust could 1be anticipated. Besides, our minds were going to be so d eluged with information, that there wasn't going to be much room ·for anything else. None o·f the conversations were superficial at the conference. There was a marked absence of discussion concerning Vietnam. These people do not have to talk about Where it's at; they are where it's at. They are not concerned with today, or wifh the problems of today, partially because everyone present is totally aware of the problems facing today's world and no one can say anything about them that everyone else doesn ' t already know. For this reason the emphasis was on solutions; planning for tomorrow.

If you do not think, or question, then don't bother to read. For this will ask you to think. The picture is a symbol. The sun is setting, the background blurred, yet some lights shine through. The light of thought that all knowledge should be based on. The Wilkes sign is outstanding, as Wilkes probably is to most of you at this point in your lives. Wilkes College with dying light in the horizon and a few beams left to carry on a name. You have all been told you are apathetic, you have no "school spirit," you miss meetings , and you avoid class responsibility. Yet, we do have "class leaders" who are more than willing to assume the responsibility that so many others have shirked. Why are there leaders and followers - why so few leaders and so many followers - why the same leaders all the time and the same followers all the time? Is it a GAME people play? And if a game, why a game? It seems that followers are created, not born. You are all supposed to be the chosen few. Those who are intelligent enough to go to college. You all have initiative, creativity, and perseverance. You must or you wouldn 't be here. How many of you were leaders in high school and remain passive now. WHY? Are you the reason the light is fading in the background, with only a few bright lights present and the name of an institution? Are you victims to the game that is being played at Wilkes . The game of whom you are, what you say, and whom you know? Three positions can be taken in this game. The people who play and win , the people who play and lose, and the people who don't play and are just caught up in its power. Whom are you and WHY? A BURNING QUESTION? That the citizens of the United States have taken full advantage of their right of free speech cannot be denied. In recent months we have witnessed the outbreak of demonstrations whose participants have upheld causes which range from the support of civil rights and free speech to the denunciation of the United States ' participation in the Vietnamese war. Those who desire the cessation of demonst rati ons are standing on shaky legal grounds. To deny these people the right to express the ir opinion would be to violate their Constitutional Rights. It is our contention that demonstrations have definite beneficial aspects. Legal demonstrations provide an outlet for pentup anxiety and hate which otherwise might manifest themselves in violence and law- lessness. Then , too, public demonstrations are advantageous if those who support them sincerely believe in their particular cause. It is rare that a person has definite opinions about anything, and for one to take specific action in support of an idea is more honorable. However, we must object to those people who demonstrate just to demonstrate, who join a demonstration because it is "the thing to do" in order to be part of the "in" crowd. Those who join a demonstra tion because it is the latest fad are equally as guilty as people who exploit these situ ations for political advantage a_nd free publicity. Thus, while we support demonstrations, we must make qualifications. For it is not, we feel, important that one demonstrates but why one demonstrates. SO WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE? Wednesday will mark the annual Blood Day on Campus. This affair is a traditional one and has always been loyally supported by students. Year after year men and women have turned out to give unselfishly and without monetary compensation. It is hoped that this year will prove no different. The cause is more than worthy. Blood is constantly needed to treat accident and surgical cases. It would be a sad story indeed if the blood were just not available when it was needed. Thanks to concerned people who willingly give up half an hour such need not be the case. Half an hour really isn't that long. And it really doesn't hurt. It may save a life. It may save your life. Think about excuse? it. Now - what's your A [ALL FOR DIGNITY An article in this Beacon outlines some of the new security measures suggested for the Campus. In the light of recent events on and off the Campus, these measures may bring some relief to women who must walk to night classes or the library. It is a sad day (or night) indeed when one cannot walk freely without fear of attack. The atmosphere here within the past few weeks has been extremely tense. Knowing that watchmen and students will be available to protect us may alleviate that uncomfortable feeling. But there is no way to be protected smart-alecks passing in cars or sitting beside sidewalks or hanging from dorms. Granted, it does not harm , but it is embarrassing and bothersome. If "men" would cut it out - it would not only be safer to walk the streets, but something that might be done with dignity and less discomfort.

A portion of the huge gathering on the Luzerne County Courthouse steps during Moratorium October 15. Politics Seen In Student Unrest by Frederick K. Lowell ment of 17,000. The ranks of the demonstrators grew to 1,000 after the police intervened, but the revolt was always, and still is, a minority revolt. The unrest that has shaken so many college campuses in the past year is one of the most disturbing manifestations of discontent in our society. It is disturbing because the worst elements of political thought have been incorporated into these student disorders. Second, we must realize that the "issues," so called, which are used to spark a revolt, are often invented. Mark Rudd, leader of the Columbia revolt, explained to an audience at Harvard last fall that "we manufactured the issues," and he described these issues in the following way: That there is a need for change in the American university cannot be denied . Reform is needed in curcurriculum, in the dormitory, in the structure of the university, and in almost every area of university life. Some of these issues have surfaced during recent campus disorders, but most, strangely, have not. The issues that have shaken our college campuses are based on the major political issues of our time: race, the war, poverty in America. At the outset we should recognize certain facts about most campus disorders. "The Institute for Defense Analysis (IDA) is nothing at Columbia. Just three professors. And the gym issue is bull. It doesn't mean any thing to anybody." Third, the avowed interest of Students for A Democratic Society [SDS) in educational reform is nil. First, the students who demonstrate are a definite minority. At Columbia, the revolt was spearheaded by only two to three hundred students out of a total enroll Key Complaints Still Centeri ng On Cafeteria by Drew Gubanich, IDC President One of the most common complaints lodged with IDC concerns the cafeteria situation. In trying to solve some of the problems, espe cially this one, "it's always the same old thing." It was generally agreed upon by the officers that a picnic dinner would be held on Sunday, October 5, and a box lunch on the soccer field on October 11 . During the regular IDC meeting on October 7, the picnic was discussed and the general consensus was that it was a success. Discus sion was then held on the idea of the soccer field box lunch. The opinion of the IDC representatives who represent the dorms in which they live, and which excludes the need for a vote of the entire residence body, was to go ahead and try it. In the future, a policy on box lunches will be determined by IDC . I suggest that if yo u have any complaints, please attend the regul ar meetings and v oice th em there . If th is is incon venient, p lease inform your repre sen tative. At Columbia, for example, SDS is the only student political group which has refused to submit proposals for the restructuring of the university: this is especially significant since it was due to SDS's efforts that the need for restructur ing emerged in the first place. SDS's prime interest, and really its only interest, is in revolution. What type of person makes up the bulk of SDS? What is it that makes certain students rebel and seek to destroy all existing authority? "Pukes," as they are unlovingly called by their Columbia opponents, are easily distinguished. They share a basic desire to appear different from everyone else. They like to dress in "workers' clothes" - blue jeans, old army jackets (with red armbands), work boots or tennis shoes. They read all the New Left literature from Mao to Marcuse. However diversified they may be in character, they all have one thing in common - they are de termined to pose a serious threat to the continuation of American society. Though most of them have a vague notion that a workers' state is desirable, most are from the middle class. Most have not been with.o ut the conveniences of modern America; they have been brought up with television, automobiles, a n d summ er vacations. But it is precisely this affluence th at they claim is not fulfilling. It is their own prosperity that they are trying so h ard to destroy . Many feel that college is little more than a machi n e which molds grad u ates to fit into American society. If society needs to fill ro un d ho les, th ey ar e determined to get squ are pegs . Vietn am , th e race problem , and th e gh etto, th ey be lieve, are pro du cts of a terrib le capitalis t' system which is run by a power elite. The United States is founded on the dollar, they say, and the corporations suck the life blood of the American worker, dooming him to a mediocre existence. The America they see is an undemocratic imperialist state, a state Which drafts black people to remove them from the ghetto and sends them to Vietghetto and sends them to Vietnam to fight a "war of genocide." It is a state in which the CIA watches one from every corner, wher e one is put in jail for exercising the right of dissent (i.e., refusal of military service]. The SDS-ers believe that American society must be totally destroyed so that a workers' utopia can be erected in its place. This belief stems from paranoia, the conspiracy theory of history.

With that impassioned plea, the announcer on WBRE radio begged his listeners to lend support to the Wilkes team. Those listeners could not help but be moved by the very human excitement displayed by generally objective newscasters. But that's the way it's been - our Colonel team has inspired an Impossible Dream without rival. Everyone involved has felt the pride that goes handin-hand with having a team like that wearing the Blue and Gold uniforms during the four-year winning streak. Looking back, it's been nothing less than wonderful to be 'here on Campus at such a time. There have been many reasons to be proud of Wilkes, but few could ever resist adding just one line: "And besides that, we have the longest winning streak in the nation." Maureen Klaproth This year's seniors, the class of '70, never saw the team lose in their entire collegiate career. All of us can recall gab sessions in which we talked about what the r eaction would b e when the ultimate defeat came. But it was talked about with the same reality one used to use when speaking of walking on th e moon or se eing the clownish Mets in a World Series. Possible, probable, but nevertheless, infinitely difficult to imagine. Ani Sa When it came, most of us found that we were really totally unprepared and our reactions w ere not what we expected. Shock, disbelief, b ittern ess, and tears. It made one remember the old line on television: "the thrill of victory; the agony of defeat." · Heaven only knows we'd enjoye d the thrill of victory after victory after victory. Now came our moment of defeat and we knew agony. For thos e there, the memories will long remain of sights uncommon to us . Joe Wiendl, Mr. Everything, with tears glistening.

" And defen der erforman of th e E For those of us unable to be at the game who heard the commentary on the radio, the pain was no less. As a girl who has never even touched a football in fun, it might seem strange that the enormity of Saturday's events should especially touch me. It did. Just as it seems to have touched everyone else. Hearing th e announcer after a hushed, stunned silence say, "It's over," I cried long tears.

We couldn't have guessed it would be yesterday, high above Cayuga's waters. One of the cheerleaders, looking a bit wan, expressed perhaps the best comment during the long wake in a dorm: "Thank God, the pressure's off now. It was too much for everyone. Now we can play to enjoy it, to win because we want to, not 'b ecause we have to." She's right. The pressure 'had become unbelievable. COLLOQUY The nice thing about looking back now is that they can't take th e glory away from us. We stand third in the record books, joining pretty illustrious company. We enjoyed it while it was ours. The team did not let us down; it taught us that graceful defeat marks the true winn er.

The game plan was designed to attack the Bomber defensive weaknesses. The Colonel defense was geared to stop the Bombers' attack. By Friday the team was prepared to travel to the Empire State.

The team has rallied from its previous history of losing to its present standards. In recent years, increased enthusiasm coupled with pride in the game hav e spurred the team on to victory.

They are 3-2 this year and have already gained revenge on one of last year's tormentors, Rhode Island, in a 41-7 rout. Although their defense was shaky in th e 1beginning (they gave up 52 points in two games), tthey have allowed two TDs in the last two games. Meanwhile the offense has posted 68 points on the scoreboard. W e haven't lost two consecutive games since 1964. The offense had a bad day and we all know the result of last week's game. The defense has improved steadily. Tomorrow, the team will prove why it has been a perennial MAC champion. The Colonels will bounce back. Our undefeated record at Ralston Field continues with a tough victory over Vermont. Wilkes by 10. W. Maryland at Delaware Valley The Aggies will have two easy weeks in a row. They ran Swarthmore into the ground in a 40-0 victory. Jasper Meadows scored two quick TDs and led the way for the remainder of the backfield, Chance, Glenn, and Lepre, to run up the score. Western Maryland needs a few more years until Coach Jones' rebuilding allows the Terrors to field a respectable team. Meanwhile Delaware Valley by 19.

The action came as a means of consoring an article by Black Panther Eldred Cleaver reprinted from this month's Ramparts Magazine. The editor of the Campus Cycle confronted the president of the college at the print shop after the printer questioned whether or not he would be paid if the article ran in the newspaper. The president confirmed the printer's suspicions by stating he would not sign a check for the printing bill if the Cleaver article appeared in the paper. The weekly paper has not been printed since September 22 . A "Free University" is being organized by TEMPLE students who view this as a method of "taking courses more meaningful and rele vant to the harsh realities of this society." The free university, which hopes to become an officially recognized organization in student activities, will offer a wide range of courses, including campus politics, jazz, leatherwork, experimental theater, astrology, Marxism and draft counseling.

Fortunately the Gold defense held as the final period began with the score still 13-7. Flirting with history, the Bombers almost fumbled the game away by giving the Colonels five scoring opportunities within their 20. But the Wilkesmen couldn't take advantage as they were thwarted every time. Still, with 1 :27 remaining, the B,ombers punted and the Colonels took over at the 50 for one last shot at winning. A bomb to Marascio was overthrown on first down. A third-down pass attempt to Langdon was intercepted by Ithaca to wrap up the game and the streak.

He knows that he can't fool the American public. Maybe he thinks he can fo ol God. A far more logical way to end the war would have been to have had the Orioles and Mets refuse to play in the World Series until Nixon withdrew the troops. What you wo uld be doing is redirecting the country's greed, and if this country ever got all its greed going in one constru ctive direction, the result wo uld probably be nothin g less than total accretion for all mankind. Som eo n e read the names of the Pennsylvania dead in Vietnam, and a few people made brief speeches. The main attraction was those who had guitars, 'h armon icas and other instruments of peace. We all had a good time sitting around singing songs, endin g war and everything. Th en su ddenly in the middle of the singing Shaw did the thing. He stood up on a bench and shouted, "What do we want?" "Peace," everybody shouted . "When do we want it?" he asked. "Now," we all screamed, and started chanting "peace now" gradually faster and incerasingly louder. Continuing the chant, we marched to the River Commons where Shaw told us of the upcoming November 15 march in Washington. He asked how man y were interested in going and there was sufficient response to warrant chartering a bus. Shaw said he would make the arrangements. Chris Shaw, former Wilkes student and head of the local moratorium, struck me as intelligent, although not necessarily brilliant. To his advantage, he possessses an ability to interpret and correlate events. More simply stated, he is -a good organizer. At the rall~n the Wilkes gym he received a standing ovation, which he deserved. University stated that "we even have an authentic witch who promised to teach a course in witchcraft. There will be be no artificial academic pressures, no grades, no finals; in fact, complete responsibility for absorbing the content of each course will rest on the individual student." It will be a more interesting and more meaningful thing than the usual offered at TEMPLE because the instructors STATI STICS will be teaching because they want WILKES to, and not b ecause th~y are being Ithaca paid for it. The PITT NEWS, thrice weekly student newspaper at the UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH, ceased publication late last month after the staff issued a set of demands for better compensation for its work. In a full -page editorial signed by 32 staff members, the NEWS said: "In this day of self-determined individuals, fewer and fewer people find the time to work for nothing. Considering the quality of the PITT NEWS staff, it is quite obvious that the self-satisfaction received from doing something with one's ability and time is no longer sufficient payment for services rendered." The staff seeks money for salaries, and one academic credit per term for participating in a journalism seminar. The school does not have a journalism school.

THE BEACON Page 2 Final Examination Exemption Policy Student Government has been discussing the possibility of endorsing the adoption of a final examination exemption policy. After much ' investigation The Beacon would like to lend its support to the proposal and ask that it be put into effect immediately. The final exam schedule, as it now exists, is not one which measures the student's performance in a particular course for one semester. It merely pressures him into a rigorous week where he must resort to stimulants to withstand the ordeal. Many scholastic endurance records are established as individuals find it necessary to cram for days in order to prepare for the "three-hour torture." An exemption policy, preferably one which would apply to A .and B grades, would place more emphasis on the semester's work and relieve the tension at the end. This tension exists both for the student, who must prepare for the exam, and for the professor, who must grade it within a certain time period. The exemption would work as a "reward" for outstanding effort during the 15-week semester. The policy would also work as an asset for the student who is having difficulty in one subject because it would allow him more time to prepare for that particular final. Let's hope that action along these lines begins immediately. BEA.CON Boosters Band t ettel'J tc t,e { t/itcl' Week after week the Colonels' grid team receives the plaudits of countless fans and press. Yet week after week another "team" just as well-practiced puts out consistently and successfully. We refer to the Wilkes College Band, which plays at football games to the satisfaction of the spectators. No doubt we have all heard the band introduced at pep rallies and various col lege functions as one of the finest musical groups in the East. Yet, little recognition is actually given to this expert group that must practice as regularly as any athletic team to display the proud presentations it does. Through the first games of the season many comments have been expressed showing the appreciation for the pre-game and halftime numbers. Displaying versa - tility by swinging from show tunes to "Tijuana Brass" to spirited football numbers, the band keeps toes tapping and hands clapping. Not only that, but anyone who has sat near the band in the stadium knows that this group displays some of the finest spirit and enthusiasm, cheering loudly between numbers. It literally "gets the gang to sing a song!" And it does this through rain and snow and heat - not the best climates in which to make music. Pride and poise can certainly be applied to the band, and for this we also thank the music department which has fashioned it. Paraphrasing one of the band's own favorite cheers: It doesn't mess around! What Is The Answer? Student organizations at the College fall into two categories: productive and nonproductive, or active and inactive, or simply good and bad. To differentiate between the two is an easy task. An active club, among other activities, schedules and holds well-organized meetings, has an adequate and interested mem bership, and sponsors varied activities. The activities range from the social, such as dances and parties, to the intellectual, such as lectures and field trips. The inactive clubs would logically be the antithesis of the active organizations. Meetings are held haphazardly, if at all, and any undertakings are handled by the same people all the time. Membership is minimal. Other than the yearly dances which they sponsor and the parties which they hold, they have no activities. The difference is not merely in the num ber of activities which the individual clubs hold, but in the kind. Social activities are not the end purpose of the College clubs. The originators of every organization on campus had more than purely social diversion in mind when they formed the clubs. Many of them were formed primarily as means to provide students with academic opportunities and activities that they could not have in their classes. As may be seen, some of these clubs have deteriorated from their original plans into social clubs. Where does. the answer to the problem lie? The only key we can find is the leaders of such organizations. Oftentimes stu dents aim for high positions in clubs merely for the prestige of the job or to add another activity to their already large and all-important extra -curricular record. Once the position is attained, the new leader has no interest in his position. Imaginative, effective, and above all, enthusiastic leadership is essential to the well-being of any group. Club leaders should examine their groups and if any signs of poor organization exist, they should then examine their own leadership in light of their obligations to their memberships and to the College.

Midget Football Team Is .Organized To Aid Young Boys From Heights by Ron JacoJs le K Club of Wilkes College has taken still another stride forward, in an effort to healthy recreation for area youngsters. Members of the Circle K have been donatir time in order to organize a Pop Warner football team in the Heights section of Barre. The chairman of this project is Tony Chiarucci. Jim Costello, former Circle K rand Wilkes graduate, is serving as coach for the team . boys from 11 to 13 years are eligible to participate in arner football. Also, there is t limit of 125 pounds.

Reif Regulation of the human population is the primary problem on Earth at the present time but another problem related to the regulation of the human population is that of determining the age at which a person may cast a ballot in a democratic society. The pressing need of today in this respect is to raise the voting age, despite frantic cries by many to lower the voting age. In this context the privilege of exercising one's franchise is not a right but a responsibility. Thus, the need for a responsib le electorate is related not only to the maturity of the voters, but, as well, to the wis dom of the voters . Of prime importance in the maturity and wisdom of the electorate is the education of the individuals. Accepted by all is the fact that the knowledge explosion has kept pace with the population explosion. To absorb the basic knowledge necessary to be educated in a sophisticated society such as that of the technological United States of America requires more time on the part of the people than in any other society in the history of mankind. If the needs of such a society for more and more highly educated individuals are to be met, and protected, the general ability of an educated electorate to comprehend those needs must rise. To extend the franchise to those who are less well prepared to vote intelligently hardly seems wise. Another factor is working in the American society which materially influences the degree of maturity of that portiOJl of the population which has not yet become finan- cially independent. The factor is somet imes referred to as the Midas Rule which generally holds that during periods of prosperity the attainment of overall maturity is delayed. For example, in this period of American affluence, the young people requ ire more years to learn the hard facts of physical survival than was required by the young people of the Great Depression in the years following the economic decline of 1929. So to disregard the Midas Rule at this particular time in American history and to lower the voting age does not appear to he warranted. Granted that some people below the age of 21 have achieved a degree of biological maturity sufficient to make them best suited for some activities, the attainment of maturity in the realm of finance, in the realm of social understanding, in the realm of psychological stability, and in the realm of the spirit, far outweigh using only biological maturity as a criterion for lowering the voting age. Time does not permit a discussion of the deleterious effects of television on the education of the present crop of people under 21. Nor does time permit considering the divisive effects of those pressure groups, young and old, which seek their own welfare at the expense of the survival of the human species. So, as is the case of conclud ing that self denial in matters of family size can alleviate population pressure, one can conclude that self denial in terms of being patient in the matter of voting is one of the best possibilities for ensuring an electorate with the wisdom to select a course of survival. by Frank Mccourt Would you rather go to an underdevefoped country and help the people or would you rather go to an underdeveloped country and kill the people? Of course you do not have your choice, but if you did what would you do? As it exists now, the government's selective service system offers two basic choices: induction into the military or jail. If you choose jail you are still draftable when you get out. The draft is poisonous. It pollutes the minds of millions. Its name implies something that it is not. Selective Service? Random would be a better word. The scattershot methods by which the government det ermines who will b e drafted are only part of the reason that aversion to the draft is at an all time high. Draft boards are understaffed, ill-equipped and totally unrepresentative of the persons whose lives they control. Of these board members who control the lives of all male Am ericans 18-26, 25% are over 65, less than 2% are black and a good percentage are women. Not surprisingly, most local board members have never been in the service themselves. Even those who do not fall victims of the conscription are indirectly affected by it. The government offers deferments to people engaged in certain occupations such as science or teaching . This process of offering deferm ents for doing certain things can and does effectively channel people into doing them. In this way th e system has an influence on the lives of even those who are not actually drafted . Sel ec tiv e Service Director General Lewis Hershey openly admits that channelling is purposely done by the government. In defense of the draft, however, h e is quick to point out that the the men that are ne eded when they w e re needed ." Whether or not they are needed at this point seems to b e strictly a matter of opinion to many. If a draft is required to pro- duce the men necessary to defend a country, then there is probably no threat to th e country's security. If the citizens of a country are not dedicated to the ideals of their country's government, th en the government is clearly not of the moral fiber necessary to create the support required for its own existence . If a store sells what people will not buy then it cannot profitably remain in business . Avoiding the draft originally began as a mov e to avoid ending up in Vietnam. Now it is much more than that. The issue now presents a challenge to an outdated and unfair system. "It's very unjust." replied one marine recruiting sergeant when asked how he felt about the draft. He further explained that the non-selective manner of choosing was due to understaffed boards who "simply do not have the time to carefully go through the fil es and consider each case separately. " Sentiments against the draft run especially high in college men, who after four years of college you do not feel kindly towards the prospect of spending mor e years in the service. Leaving the country to avoid the draft is a concession to its vast inexorable pow er. Most persons would like to serve their country but they do not wish to do so by being pawns at the wrong end of an industrial defense complex. They would be more inclined to give up several years of their lives in the service of their country if the choice includ ed work in more constructive veins suc'h as the Peace Corps or VISTA. This theory is supported by the high reenlistment rates of those organizations. Most do not in the words of one peacenik: "want to fight an ungodly war over totally in tangible assets." By what means then, may the government allay th e hard feelings its conscription has generated? What the draft n eeds, obviously, is emendation, but a long what lines (Continued on Page 8) WHAT• WHERE• WHEN Friday, October 17 Dance - WILKES gym, music by the MATCH BOX. 9-12 p.m. Saturday, October 18 Football - WILKES vs. Ithaca (away), 2 p.m. Soccer - WILKES vs. Stevens (home), 2 p.m. FEDERAL SERVICE ENTRANCE EXAMINATION-Stark Hall, Rooms 109 and 116, 8:30 a.m. Senior Hayride Tuesday, October 21 Manuscript Film - The Bridge, CPA, 7:30 p.m. No admission charge.

Gold Machine To Shoot Down Blue Bombers of Ithaca Sa t. by Rick Bigelow Number 33 will be the objective as the Colonels take on the Ithaca Blue Bombers tomorrow afternoon at South Hill Field in Ithaca. The Colonels will be going for their fourth win this year while the Blue Bombers will be seeking their third straight win after losing their opening two contests. Head coach Jim Butterfield's veteran squad was soundly thrashed in its first two contests against West Chester and Lehigh but has rebounded to beat Cortland State and Susquehanna convincingly . Twenty-two lettermen are among this year's starters, including last year's top rusher, Rod Howell (5'11", 185 pounds), who gained 419 yards on 126 carries. Last week against Susquehanna, Howell carried 34 times for 164 yards and one touchdown. The other big threat in the backfield is sophomore quarterback Doug Campbell who is coming off two great games against Cortland and Susquehanna. He completed 25 passes for 169 yards against Cortland and ran and passed for 189 yards and three touchdowns against Susquehanna. Other starters in the backfield are Tom Polimeni, an excellent blocking back, and flanker John Westbrook. The ends are Gary Meierdierks (6', 190 pounds) and Ed Syron (6'3", 220 pounds). The offensive line includes Bob Wojnar (6'2", 220 pounds) and Brent Thorndike at tackles, Bob Krezner (5'10", 180 pounds) and Ned Ennis (5'10", 190 pounds) at the guards, and captain Gary Worden (5'10", 190 pounds) at center. The Itha:cans use a wide tackle six defense which has six linemen, two linebackers, two halfbacks, and a safety . The defensive ends are Jim Branski (5'10", 175 po unds] and Gary Mix (6', 190 pounds], the tackles are Chuck Moot (5'10", 195 pounds) and Wes Kissel (5'10", 190 pounds], and the guards are Greg Whitney (6'3", 205 pounds) and Andy Lambie (6'3", 225 pounds). The linebackers are Fred Recchia (5'11", 185 pounds] and Al Cihocki (6', 190 pounds), a native of Nanticoke. The halfbacks are Dave Reed and Dick Collins while the safety is Charlie Hill. Offensively, the Blue Bombers run from the "I" formation. Quarterback Campbell runs a lot with the ball, mostly on option sweeps, similar to Wilkes' attack. He doesn't like to throw too much, especially if the Ithaca ground game is clicking. However, he can throw with great accuracy as is evidenced by his performance against Cortland. The defense is still an unknown entity. It gave up over 50 points to West Chester and Lehigh, 28 to Cortland, and 14 to Susquehanna. It appears to be getting better, but is probably not good enough to stop the Gold Machine. To say that Ithaca will be up for the Colonels is redundant. Each week the Gold Machine faces a highly charged opponent bent totally on an upset. Each week the Colonels rise to meet the challenge and each week the Gold Machine emerges victorious.

For TD And Lazor Breaks School Record by Pete Herbst The Colonels finally put it a ll to gether - an explosive offense and a stingy defense. In previous games either the offense sputtered, as in the Moravian contest, or the de fense was very generous, as in the Lycoming encounter. The Gold Machine's offense and "D" got together for a cool romp over Delaware Valley, 27-10, to garner number 32. There were numerous heroes on each unit. Tailback Ted Yeager scooted 78 yards from scrimmage for a score. Fullback Bob Gennaro, averaging 3.3 yards per carry, scored three touchdowns. Split-end Bill Lazor caught nine passes for 158 yards which broke Joe Skvarla's old record. Defensively, Delaware Valley QB Ron Timko threw four passes to Wilkes receivers, half as many as his own receivers caught. This was the second consecutive game that the secondary (including linebackers) pilfered four passes . Garf Jones and Ron Hillard each had one. The Aggies opened the scoring with a 32 -yard field goal with 7:33 remaining in the first quarter. Their lead, however, was shortlived. Twenty seconds later, Colonel QB Joe Zakowski pitched out to Yeager, who cut over the right side from his own 22 and took it all the way for Wi lkes' first score. T h e tight battle raged th roughout most of the third quarter. Finally, with a li ttle over four minutes left, Gennaro climaxed a 70-yard drive with a plunge from the one. Trailing by 10 points, Timko was forced to go to the air. His offense didn't see the ball too much after that since Jones intercepted. After Gennaro scored again, Hillard grabbed another Timko pass and Gennaro again scored. The Gold Machine had exploded for three touchdowns in just 20 seconds. Ahead 27-3, Coach Rollie Schmidt rested his regulars by substituting freely. John Williamson was a welcome sight on the field, as it was his first appearance of the season. Williamson, 6-1, 210-pound defensive end, was injured in preseason practice.

These were the words of head offensive line coach Charles Adonizio after the B-team game against Scranton University . Wilkes won, 13-0. Because the MAC rules don't allow freshmen to play varsity confererice games, the freshmen have formed a proud group of their own, the Yellowjackets. Their purpose during the week is to run the opposition's offense against the Wilkes defense in preparation for the upcoming game. But Monday, October 6, was the first time the Yellowjackets were able to perform as a team against live opposition. It resulted in a 13-0 win. The defense was composed primarily of upperclassmen.

One where such figures as Rod Laver or Arthur Ashe Qiances are you haven't and if you have you know the rul es of tennis. One of the more well-known ru'les is a player can white clothes so as to not disturb his opponent. Another rule die spectators and players. That is, Vhe fans are not expected p, or yell during the game. But they can do so after a point tor after the completion of a game or set. So what happens if a player executes a particularly exciting play or makes a fan tastic shot? Well, he is expected to hold his enthusiasm until a point is scored so his yelling doesn't upset the opponent's concen!ration. What •about booing? It is every fan's right and privilege to boo an official if he makes a bad call. Not so in tennis. At Forest Hills , tennis capital of America, booing is replaced by low whistling. Quite interesting but not very pulsating. What is pulsating, however, is football and the part the fans play. Obviously there are no retrictions on the fans in terms of flleHerbst their ability to yell, scream, or boo. But not so obvious, at least it's not here at Wilkes. Some fans re at Forest Hills and not Ralston Field. To say that the fans at all is false.

You could, though, cheerleaders as spirited as President Nixon is at a press and still have a fanatical crowd. then, of the three groups involved is responsible for disfans? The football team cannot be the cause of dull crowds . think with a team like the Gold Machine performing such winning over 30 consecuti ve games you wouldn't even need - the crowds would cheer anyway. It should come autoto cheer the likes of Ted Yeager, Bill Lazor, or Charles Fick. cheerleaders? The Wilkes crew is a dedicated one. On •a fall the girls will sometimes cheer two games - soccer and footcheers they lead are very basic and simple. So simple, in fact, e college student can pick them up and be able to repeat them nds. That is the reason the cheers are simple, so the fans can . After all, 6,000 voices make a helluva lot more noise than 12. that leaves us, the fans. The fans with one of the best teams liege football. The fans with some cheerleaders who yell like Saturday afternoon. The fans with tennis voices. Ironically, people leave their spirit where they keep their banners - back rm. Why not bring those banners to the game?

The man chosen for the job is a grad uate of Coughlin High School and Wilkes College, class of 1969. During his scholastic career at Wilkes, Pawlush was Chairman of Student Elections, a member of The Beacon staff, the Student Government, and President of the Circle K for three years. In his capacity as Director of the Department of Sports Information, Pawlush is responsible for ,a ll stories concerning Colonel athletics that are released to the newspaper, radio, and TV media. Much of his time is also spent sending out information on various athletes to their hometown newspapers Besides preparing these stories for release to the media, Pawlush also has compiled a new football brochure which includes all Wilkes team and individual records as well as a rundown on all the team's opponents. Pawlush has also improved the football programs to the point where on the last two home dates of the season the programs will be 20 and 24 pages long. Also , in the early planning stages are programs for both basketball and wrestling. More articles in the newspapers, improved football brochures, and lengthened programs aren't the only accomplishments of our new Sports Information Director. Pawlush has also planned a half-time program for the Vermont game on October 25 when the all-time Wilkes football team will be presented. When he's not busy with his new position, Pawlush spends his time traveling across the country as National Junior Director of the Federated Russian Orthodox Youth Organization Clubs. This organization boasts a m embership of 2,000, ages 12-18, and Pawlus'h is responsible for organizing its entire program. He is very proud of the members of this organization, and stresses the fact that it is very important to channel the activities of today's youth in the right direction. Pawlush also had some comments to make . He stated, "The spirit of the football team and the teamwork they have shown is greater than any I have seen in my five years here at Wilkes. Our wrestling and basketball teams also should be in good shape for the coming season."

LEHIGH has admitted men only to its undergraduate col'leges since 1865, though female graduate students have matriculated since 1918. The recommendation, a 141-page committee report, has been accepted for study and consideration by the Joint Commission on University Life and forwarded to the Board of Trustees for study and ,f inal decisions . The Women 's Executive Council of EAST STROUDSBURG STATE COLLEGE has formed a committee to investigate hazing programs. They have stated that by some means, possibly questionaires, they "want to find out the feelings of all the women students on the present hazing policies ." They "want to represent all women on campus, and would appreciate those stud ents who have ideas or complain ts; to use the many channels open to them, such as their hallcouns elors. Perhaps WILKES should ask for an open discussion on hazing? The American Civil Li'berties Union and the Virgina Association of Student Government will jointly sponsor three regional forums on Student Rights during the 1969-70 academic year at OLD DOMINION UNIVERSITY, VIRGINIA. The forum feels that it is important for the students and the entire academic community to understand Selective Service (Continued from Page 3) is difficult to say. Regardless of how many amendments or changes are made the basic issue will remain the same. That being whether or not the government should have an y say over the personal lives of those who do not wish to have their lives controlled. The government has, for the most part made no moves to improve the system. There have been a few moves, but they have beer. of a political nature. The basic attitude still seems to be "if you don 't like it leave", which is exactly what people have b ee n and are doing. There will always understandably exist opposition to any system which exerts such an invidious influ ence on the lives of so many. That opposition, although it cannot be eliminated, can be appeased. Lowering the voting age to include those affected (disaffected?] would provide an almost irrelevant yet significant step. That someone can fight in Vietnam yet have no say in choosing the people who sent him there is to say the least, inane. Another way is to widen the draft choice to include the Peace Corps, VISTA, hospital work, or possibly even teaching. Of course if that ever happened the Army would probably go out of business, but then there is even a solution to that. Let draftees who object to war, fulfill their obligation in noncombat activities such as stateside office work. The draft is unjust and cannot be made just. It can be made more tolerable by less ening the extent to which it und ermin es our society. If it strips itself of its narrow scope and dev elops a liberal attitude mor e characteristic of the people it involves, it can, at least come to serve the people of this country, which is something that I hon estly believe it does not do now.

The movement received strong backing from the National Mobilization Committee to· End the War in Vietnam. It was the NMC that organized the demonstrations to coincide with the moratorium. Approximately 400 universities and colleges officially support the mov ement. At least twice that number are expected to participate. In Norfolk, Virginra, a memorial service will be held by cand lelight in front of the Fed eral Building from 3 p.m. until sunrise. It will include a reading of names of the American dead in Vietnam. In reaction to Peace Sunday , the most massive anti-Vietnam protest ever planned, Nixon has stated tha't nothing anyone does or says will affect his policies on the war. In retaliation to Nixon's statement, Dick Gregory told an audience at King's College that "anything the people of a country do affects the leaders of that country." Since the movement is organized by NSA, it is student-b ased, but adults and other non-students are being urged to participate. Peace Sunday requ ires that students boycott classes, or discuss the war in lieu of the regularly scheduled classroom topics. To this end, King's College has unanimously voted to support Peace Sunday. Wilkes College has abstained from any formal participation. The only formal statement for Wilkes was made by Dr. Francis Michelini, Dean of Academic Affairs . He stated that "to arbitrarily suspend To arrive at figures representing classes and disrupt thi s (educationindividual club budgets, meetings al) process seems inconsistent with were held last spring by SC.

It is all too easy to pass over the significance of such an announcement. Yet those who have followed the developments · of the past several years on various campuses throu ghout the nation , will recognize that the very topic that has provided such discomfort for other institutions has caused no uproar at Wilkes. Without one protest march or a takeover of Weckesser , Wilkes students have achieved an ultimate goal of today's col legiate societies. The credit belongs to many who have striven to attain the representation. Without listing specific names we thank these students. And to that we add a special thank you to those on the faculty and administrative staffs who placed faith in the student body. Obviously they feel that we have the ability and integrity to stand equal with them on some very important committees. It remains for those chosen to represent us on the committees to justify the re sponsibiilty placed upon us . Jette1-J tc t~e {t/itc,- ROTC: Surrenders Led by the communist-oriented Students for a Democratic Society (SOS), there were many protests last winter against the Reserve Officers Trainin g Corps (ROTC), which supplies 88 per cent of t he officers in the United States Army . Some colleges and univers ities have succumbed to this attack from our homegrown communist enemies. The Penta gon has decided to curtail ROTC at Harvard and Dartmouth. This surrender is a victory for the foes of the United States and will undoubtedly offer encoura gement for a revival of the anti-ROTC marches during the present academic year. If other institutions weaken and follow the path taken by Harvard and Dartmouth , the militant radicals will achieve their goal - weakenin g the nation 's defense operations. Additional ROTC cutbacks would also remove a freedom of choice for the nation's patriotic youth , which constitutes the great majority of our college students , who want the opportunity to prepare for military service. ROTC has an important place in the nation's future. It must not be jeopardized by the militant radical minority nor by the college authorities who bow to their unreasonable demands. WILKES' Potpourri After the first few weeks of school, the little and big things have already begun to plague us . Among the questions flying to and fro on our fair Campus are: -When, oh when, will someone find a solution to the parking problem? -To the city fathers : Will Wilkes coeds ever feel safe walking along the River Commons during the evening? (Lights might help, ya know!) -To the cat: How about a better grade of hamburger? If we are going to eat it seven days a week, we should have the best! -And by the way, whatever happened to the state law concerning the wearing of hairnets by those who handle food? -Wouldn't it be nice to have cleaning ladies that CLEAN? -Where is the enthusiasm at Ralston Field that should support a team with a 31-game winnin g streak? -Why must the Student Government meetings be so long and dull? -Weren't we lucky to be able to tear a page off our calendars the first day? -Wouldn't it be nice if everyone who criticizes The Beacon would drop in on Sunday nights to contribute their wisdom? -Will there ever be a solution to the ordeal of registration?

Peace March Is Organized By Dickinson , CARLISLE, Pa.-The Student Mob'ilization Committee of Dickinson College is organizing a "March for Peace" against the United States Army War College in Carlisle on the afternoon of Wednesday, October 15. The march will be held in conjunction with the National Vietnam Moratorium. Outside of the Pentagon, the Army War College in Carlisle houses the largest concentration of military brass (senior officers} involv ed in the strategic planning of war. Carlisl e's position in 'the top 10 strategic nuclear attack targets gives some indication of the War College's importance . The Dickinson SMC has stated t'h e effectiven ess of this march will be directly proportional to the number of people who come to Carlisle to participate. Carlisle is loated at Exit 16 on t'he Pennsylvania Turnpike. But service is readily available from any point in Pennsylvania. For those who must stay overnight, housing will be pro vided; how ever, participants are urged to bring sleeping bags . On arrival, marchers will c'h eck in at the Dickinson College Holland Union Building before 1 p.m. For further information, contact SMC, Box 769, Dickinson College , Carlisle, Pa. 17013 or phone 717-2434011 and ask for a member of the SMC Ste ering Committee . Result of the SG elections held on Oct. 2 were as follows: Bill McGraw, senior SG represen tive; David Krajew ski, Vicepresident of Junior class; Sally Donoho, Dennis Brew, James Butkuwiz and John Cherundolo as junior SG representives.

The Moravian Greyhounds were set upon ;fhe destruction of The Wi'lkes dynasty last Saturday afternoon. A well-drilled, well-conditioned ball club, the Hounds came to Wilkes-Barre with their sights on an MAC championship, the Lambert Bowl, and the singular distinction of ending a thirty game winning streak. They left town a bewildered and disappoin led ballclub. The Moravian offense moved the b'al1 wel'l against the Colonel "D", particularly on the ground. The Hounds galloped to 199 yards, concentrating on the interior line. The Greyhounds defense applied fierce and consistent pressure 't hroughout the afternoon. Colonel punter Bill Staake was forced 'to punt eight times in the game which indicates th e press ure. The same Colonel offense that ran and passed for 304 yards against Lycoming the previous week managed just 225 total yards.

Booters Face Lycom ing After Rout By Text ilers After defeating Moravian College for the first time on Sept . 30th, the Colonel boaters got bombed by Philadelphia Textile last Saturday, 6-1. The Blue and Gold blanked the Greyhounds, 1-0. The Colonels look ahead to some rough competition when they oppose Lycoming tomorrow afternoon, away. They stay on the road until Wednesday when they meet Scranton University. Game 't ime at Scranton is at 3 :30. Coach Jim Nedoff's charges probably played the finest game of the season against Moravian . Sophmore goalie Chip Eaton observed, "We played like a team, the way we're supposed to. We were up for the game and all the guys jelled." It was the team's second shutout of the season and third straight win. Eaton paced the team's defensive efforts with nine saves. He was helped considerably by Dave Bogusko an d Mike Bergbauer. The home crowd at Ralston Fie ld saw the lone score of the game come with 11 :16 left in the game. Bill Murphy converted a pass from Ed Garabedian and sent it through the goal from twenty fee't out. But last Saturday the roof caved in for Colonel hooters as Philadelphia Textile invaded Ralsto n Field. Th e squad from th e city of brotherly love showed no such affection as they completely dominated the game. Previously, the Textilers ·had scored as many as 12 and 14 points a game against such opponets as Rutgers and Temple. The Wilkesmen opened the scor'ing when Bill Tarb et took a p·ass from Curt Benson to give Wilkes a lead after four minu tes of play. But that lead was short-lived as Textile mounted a furious attack which resulted in three goals at the end of th e first half and three more in the final p eriod. The Textile attack never ceas ed as they pounded the goal close to "forty" shots. Goalie Chip Eaton thought the figure was closer to "a million shots." All the Colonels had praise for their opponents as they witnessed the Textilers amazing ball-handling coordination. Withh most of their stars either sop mores or juniors you can expeel to hear a lot from them in the fu ture. The Colonels' record now stands at 3-1. They will try to improve it this week against some rough competition. 0 1 0 0 -1 Wilkes 0 0 0 0 -0 Moravian Wilkes Moravian 20 21 Shots 9 10 Saves 1 Corner Kicks 11 7 0 Offside Kicks "1 '.J □□□□□□□□□ o □ ooa □ □□ □□ □ □ □□o □□ oo □□ □□ □ □ □ □□□□ □□ □□ □ □ o □□□□ 0 □ 0 □□ 0 □ 0 □□ □ □ □ □□ □0 □ □□ □□□□□□□ □ 0 □ 0 □□ 0 0 00 0 □ 0 0 □□ :J PENSAK'S DELICATESSEN lorio's Wholesale Jewelers WE MAKE SANDW ICHES Hours: M, W, Th, S, Sun 7 a.m. • 7 p.m. Diamonds, Watches G ifts, '7ewelry Tu, F 7 a.m. - 2 p.m. Room 909 , I.B.E.

The Wilkesmen's offensive efforts seemed to be riddled with setbacks: fumbles, key ·i nterceptions, and bad snaps. All these added to Coach Schmidt's woes . In retrospect, th e final score of the encounter that took p'lace a't Ralston Field last Saturday is hard to believe. Those viewing the game in the stands and those enjoying the T.V. color coverage could not help bu't become personally invo'lved in the game. There was no w'inner until the last 10 seconds. Even after the final whistle had blown, players and fans found it difficult to breathe normally. It 'i s a strange phenomena that can bind thousands of people together for two hours of suspense on any given fall afternoon. Perhaps t his is the essence of football. This is collegiate football's centennial year and its charm, attraction, and majesty is as great, if not greater, than it was when a collegiate first donn ed a helmet. The 1969 Moravian contest is over. Some would at tribute the victory to 'l uck. These are the same naive spectators who viewed fhe other dose contest which were won during the streak as due to luck. Luck? Wilkes 9, Upsala 7. Luck? Wilkes 14, Del, Valley 13. There is no such word in football jargon like L-U-C-K. Luck is when preparation meets opportunity. The 6-0 win is a tru e indication of the desire emblematic of the '69 Colonels . Each team th e Colonels face play their best. This demands the Colonels be at their peak week after w eek .

Page 7 Mantione, Naylor Pace Judo Club Submitted by The Judo Club Beginning last year, continuing to grow in the summer, and sprouting new incentive this fall, the Wilkes Judo Club stands as a paramount example of student leadership . The co -ed team of Patrick J. Mantione, president, and Sandra Naylor, secretary-treasurer, have in effect created a club that began with a dec1S10n: to build something of quality, character, and integrity and divorced of superficiality. The club is broadly based upon the Japanese martial arts of judo, karate, jujiutsu, ahaiido (the way of the samurai sword) and a few of the Japanese domestic arts . The club resulted from spontaneous group action; the efforts of Charles Spano (instructor), James Hosart, Mel Rogers, Don Shutt, George Meguschak, Ina Brown, and Lucille Polluhe (instructor) cannot be discounted. The group decision was backed up with action. On March 15, 1969, the First Annual Wilkes Judo Tournament, a complete success, attracted over 100 participants from In 23 years, Wilkes football teams have posted a record of 87 wins, 88 losses, 5 ties for a winning percentage of .497. The Colonels currently rank fourth on the All-Time College Division streak list with 31 wins ... the only teams in college division history with more wins is: Missouri Valley (41) 1941-48 ; Hillsdale (34) Muhlenberg at Lebanon Valley 1954-57 . . . .

The club, realizing a need for a broader program, revised the constitution to include a karate training division, added promotional requirements, and executive committees to deal with special business. This enabled members with both administrative and athletic ability to fully participate in the club's growth. The Judo Club Orientation Program began by including printed brochures that illustrated and explained the structure, officers, and instructional programs offered to all students and faculty at Wilkes College. In addition, an Orientation Discussion at Stark 109, September 11, headed 'b y Mantione, Naylor, and Spano, presen'ted martial arts history, present structure, and films of contestants in action. The discussion was an outstanding success with over 200 students attending. In conjunction with discussion programs, the week ended with a demonstration of judo, karate, and self-defense by the, Wilkes Judo Club. Various levels of proficiency were demonstrated in karate and judo attacks and counters with the help of James Ambrose, special black belt guest from Wyoming Karate Club. Finally a series of tournament contests were fought with RC1bert Amcherani, special black belt guest from Scranton Judo Club . As a special project the Judo Club has invited t'he special services of Prof Ryozo Nahamura. For clinical purposes Prof Nahamura is a highly esteemed black belt from Tokyo and acted as a special complement to the Japanese police as jiu jitsu instructor. The Judo Club invites students and faculty (of both sexes) to sample the benefits of martial arts training and to participate in the growth of an action club under registered experienced instructors. On September 20th the Penn Central Promotional Committe e Tournament took place here. The following people achieve the Tokyo standing, the fourth level junior grade: Sandra Waylor, Charles Spano, Patrick Nantione, James Gosart, and Bill Talman.

The Minnesota paper carried an artic'le, complete with pictures of an expedition through the extensive steam tunnels located 100 feet below the campus. The shaft system, which sometimes reaches a temperature of 140 degrees, generally around 120 degrees, extends in one way or another, to nearly every building at the huge University. One of the most exciting things, says the author, is to climb up each shaft along the tunnel to see where it enters the building. In particular, the author re'l ated a humorous ·incident in which the shaft entered a women's lavatory unexpectedly. Quite a pioneer in his fie'ld, the author has also explored tunnels on the St. Paul campus of his school, at Macalseter College, Iowa State U., the U. of Nebraska, and Emporia State Teacher's College in Kansas. He also said that, while on a trip to Washington, D.C., he had discovered an entrance to a steam tunnel between the White House and the Executive Office Building. A major focus of the Student's Association, the student governing body at the University of Texas, has been the war against ·a pathy. Soccer Explained (Continued from Page 6) the game .

It is A nationwide movement to protest the Vietnam war will be supported by the local Peace Sunday Committee on Wednesday, October 15. The Committee, headed by former Wilkes student Chris Shaw, has planned activities to voice the opinions of persons who wish to speak out against the war. These activities, discussed at a meeting held Sept. 22 at St. Stephen's Church, were based on a national moratorium that calls for the leaving of classes on Oct. 1 !i. Shaw, however, did not advocate or s'tress the need to leave classes on this day. Ra'ther, he expressed the need for help and support of these various functions . Also discussed at the September 22 meeting were the plans and progress of an underground paper. This paper will include articles written by anyone wishing to ex- press and make public his Vietnam ideas. However, the paper will not deal speci'fically with Vietnam, but with any contemporary problem. All articles are to be signed, with the exception of high schoo'l students, 'in order to prevent the persecution of loca'l papers. The Peace Sunday activities will begin at 11:30 a.m. with discussions, a vigil including 'the reading of all Vietnam casuaJ'ties, and a Presence on Faculty Groups Granted Student Delegates On October 13, the firs't step will be 'taken by Student Government to activate t'he program of Student Representation on Faculty Committees. The proposal was unanimously accepted by the faculty ·o n September 9 with reservations only in 'techn'ical changes . Now that these changes 'h ave been made, the program will go 'into effect immediately. In order for a s'tudent to obtain a pos·i tion on any of the 11 committees, a nomination procedure must take place . These 11 committees include: Academic Standing Committee, Admissions Committee, Ath'le'tic Committee, Calendar and Faculty Handbook Committee, Curriculum Committee, Educational Pol'icies Committee, Library Committee, 'Committee on Graduate Studies, Res earch and Service Committee, and Student Publications Committee. The first step in t he nom'ination process is the submission of app1'ica'tions. Application forms will be distributed to the student body on October 13. A twoweek communication period has been set aside, by Student Government, to inform the applicants of the nature of the various committees, 't he number of positions available, and fue deadl'ine for applications . This period ends Friday, October 24, with the deadline of all ap plications. The app'l ications are then scrutinized by the Student Nominations Committee. The Student Nominations Committee is comprised of the executive cabinet of Student Government and the class presidents of fue Senior, Junior, and Sophomore classes. The Executive Counci'l of Student Government consists of the President, Dan Kopen; Vice-President, Jay Go.Jdstein; Treasurer, Bill Kaye; Recording Secretary, Mary Carol Hornya k ; Corresponding Secretary, Ina Brown ; President of IDC, Drew Gubanich; and an appointee from the day studen't population, Dave Lombardi. Under a po'i nt procedure policy, the Committee will choose the qualified applicants. Eligibility Requirements In order to be eligible for nomination the fo'llowing requirements mus't •be adhered to by those making application. The nominee must have achieved at leas't a sophomore standing and have completed at least two consecutive semesters at Wilkes. He must be a full-time student with a minimum academic load of 12 credit hours during the semester in which he is making appliac't ion. The nominee must also maintain the following minimum average depending upon his aca(Continued on Page 8) guerrilla theater. At 2 p.m., relevant topic discussions will be held, followed by a petition " . .. to end the war in Vietnam . . . and to free those jailed for violating draft Jaws . . ." In this petition, 'the Committee has some 500 signatures, including many elder members of the communi'ty. It reads as follows: "We, the undersigned, fully support the demands of the Peace Sunday Committee of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, for: "1. The immediate and total wifudrawal of a11 American troops from South Vietnam on the grounds that American military presence vio ates the right of the people of South Vietnam to determine their own destiny. "2. We further demand the immediate reiease of all those men now serving prison sentences because they refuse to figh't an immora'l war in Vietnam. After World War II we hanged Nazis because they obeyed orders rather than moral dictates. Today we imprison men for obeying moral dictates instead of orders. Th'is must stop ." The petition will be presen't ed in front of the Court House by the Peace Commi'ttee. Federal officials rece'i ving written invi'tations to hear the petition are Senators Sweicher, Flood, and Scott. Though not op'timistic about obta'ining the presence of the senators, Shaw ·did feel they would send repr esentatives because the Peace Sunday Commi'ttee was using its rig'ht to "petition grievances". All this scheduled itinerary is not definite. The Commi'ttee ne e ds the cooperation of c'ity and college officials for tlhe use of facilities for the moratorium. Dr. Francis T.

He stated that "to accomplish our educat'ional purposes, the academic year is s'tructured so that the faculty may fulfill their primary obligations : To arbitrarily suspend classes and disrupt this process seems inconsisten't with the commitmen't 'the institut'ion has to its students." Dr. Farley Feted at Party In Honor of 70th Birthday by Anita Chowder "Thanks, it's swel'l!" was the heart-felt comment Dr. Eugene S. Farley u'ttered upon being greeted by family, faculty, and students at his surprise birthday party this past Sunday even'ing. Only these few word'S were necessary to express our President's gratitude. A quiet, informal atmosphere was enjoyed by those in attendance which added to the nostalgia of thP occasion during this, Dr. Farley's last year at Wilkes. Upon h'is entrance, •the fam'iliar tune rang out through the gym, commemorating fue 70th bMhday of an almost ir- replaceable member of the Wilkes Col'lege staff. Cer'tainly this even't brought to mind fhe many years Dr. Farley has spent in service and dedication, making Wilkes what it is today. Without h'i s backbone and concentrated effort, none of us could enjoy the opportunities afforded ' US at this time. The crowd gafuered around the floral-decorated head table as the "guest of honor" opened his gifts. Those pre-sents -h e received were both usefu'J and humorous which made the evening still more memoralble. Dr. Farley expre·ssed his delight with each gift and tried his hand at guessing the reason for the ·presentation of each one . Having witnessed 't he glee witlh which our President received his gifts, the guests filed to •t he head table to partake of the refreshments on hand.

Farley has been many things to · this Campus, in his 30 some years at its helm. We here at The Beacon have al· ways found our President enthusiastic in his praise and helpful in his criticisms. He extends this to every facet of Campus life he touches. While birthdays are a mile$tone in anyone's life - this year must seem particularly poignant for Dr. Farley. It's his final year as acting President of the institution he has literally carved out of this anthra cite region. If anyone can look back on a useful and productive career, our leader can . So, though we wish always the best things for him as he prepares to depart this Campus, we wonder if he has not indeed found the best things in life himself -while building his " Possible Dream." C:ALLING WILKES STUDENTS ... Hey, out there! Yes, we mean you the Wilkes College student. Where are you hiding these days? Certainly you must be somewhere on this Campus, but it is growing increasingly difficult to find you.

That 's to their credit - they had to try harder to make up for the majority of their peers who were eating lunch , playing cards , studying(?), etc .... The last time we wrote an editorial like this was in high school. Who thought we'd have to BEG Wilkes students to demonstrate a little pride in their alma mater? Are we that blase that we feel embarrassed to get excited or shout a little? Are we that cool or groovy that we can't let down the facade long enough to have a good time? Underneath all that sophistication are we just plain scared to be called square? Isn't it time that the pendulum swung the other way in this goal of pretending SG Lauded For Aiding Frosh Registration; Registrar Is Grateful To the Student Government : The staff 'Of the Registrar's office wishes to express its appreciation to all the members o'f the Student Government who ass'isted •i t in the registration of the freshmen .

And to the students who have never carried a football, but who make up our student body, we exhort you to have pride in a team that has brought national recognition to our Campus.

'J1he 5Jfoo 1t 10-'i nch, 185pound Iannantuono carried for 614 yards on 140 a'ftempts and scored four touchdowns while the 6-foot, 200-pound Overk ran for 480 yards on 104 carries ou't of the fullback pos'ition. Bo'th players turned in fine performances agains't Del Val las't week, highliig'hted as Iannantuono broke away for a 91-yard scoring romp. Quarterbacking was supposed to be a pro'b'lem this year with le1tterman signal-caller Jim Dietz having forfe'ited his eligibliJity by signing with fhe Ph'i ladelphia Phillies. However, sophomore Joe Dowling convincingly dispelled that theory by hi'fting 12 of 22 passes for 207 yards and two TDs against the Aggies. The receiving corps is led by sophomore Pete Brookfield and freshman split-end Danny Joseph who each caught a /;Coring strike agains1t Del Val. The offensive line is built around junior guard Nick Mancini (5'10" and 210 pounds] and Bill Yerkes (6'1" and 205 pounds). Other probab'le starters are guard Dave Wilcomes (6' and 190 pounds) with Greg Jones (6', 185 pounds) and Ted HuNer (6'3" and 210 pounds) at the tackles. The defense appears to be strong t-his year wrth nine starters return1ing. The Greyhounds held Del Va-I to 240 yards total offense (78 yards in the second half] and 14 po'in1ts (seven coming on a 92-yard pass 'interception). The a1ert Moravian secondary also checked in with three interceptions . The defensive line is anchored by co-cap'tain George e-Btz (6'1" and 210 pounds) and Wayne Bogardus (6'3" and 215 pounds) at guard and tackle respec'tively. The secondary is led by the o•t her co-cap't ain, Hugh Gratz, who had six interceptions las t year. He is ably a-ssisted by linebackers Ed Zan'ine'lli and Jeff Wi'lson who each came up wrth an interception against the Aggies. Glen Overk handles the punfing while Ed Schedler does fhe place-kicking. The Greyhounds run out of the slo't-T and I formations and figure 'to pass as much as they run. Based on last week's performance, they pro'bab1y will be able to get on the score'board a few times - especially if fue Go'lonel pa's s defense lacks cohes'i veness . The Greyhound defense figures to be sky hig'h a fter las1t week's exce'llent showing agalinst Del Val and should prove to be a sfiff challenge for the Colonels.

Benson has been a starting member of the soccer squad since his freshman year. He p layed either fullback or halfback then, but now holds down a halfback position. Curt Benson The senior math major is a native of Jamesburg, N.J., where he was a four-letter man in soccer and baseball at Jamesburg High, a sc'hoo'l of under 1,000. He made the all-county soccer team and was voted most valuable player by his teammates. After a soccer match, he was approached by a Wilkes alumnus, Lou Lacoura, who inquired as to his future plans. Lacoura contacted Wilkes and arranged an interview No. 30 (Continued from page 5) years of rebu'ilding. Although the roster shows a host of returning lettermen, most were players who had seen limited action behind regulars. Although numb er 30 was won on Saturday, the preparation began in January with weight-lifting and running. Individual workouts ended and pre-season drifls began on Sept. 3rd. The 1969 Colonels boast of no great ability and the 'lineup includes few seasoned veterans . What motivated the victory Saturday was "Pride" and w hat enabled the performance was "Poise." The team makes no projections for an undefeated season . But there is one promise made to all who view or play against the Gold Machine: you can count on a well-drilled, wellconditioned footbatl team ·e xecuting fundamentals to exactness and filling each Blue and Gold uniform with t'he pride and poise that has made winning football a tradition at Wilkes. Upon that you can rely. Grid Statistics F riday , Oct ober 3, ~~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I Spotlight On Sports: I I Interior Of tensive Line I for Benson with Jim Benson, our soccer coach fhen.

The college faculty has voted to extend the credi't-by-hour program. A total of 126 semester hours are required for t'he degree. This method wil1 enable the college to emphasize accompl'i shment, rather than the satisfac'fion of rigid credit-hour requirements as the chief concern of h'igher education. Students receiving cred'rts and exemptions , granted by proving competence on a national exam scale, are free to devote fhe time they have gained to fhe'ir major field or ofuer areas that interest them.

The Bookstore now occupies space once used as the dorm's recreation area. The store's relocation is a student-initiated project. It was first suggested by Drew Gubanich, Pres ident of IDC, at an IDC meeting before the close of last semester. From IDC, the suggestion was sent to Student Government, where it was proposed by Bill Kaye, SG Treasurer, at an SG meet'ing on July 12. The move was approved by the Administration during the following week, and two weeks later , on August 4, the actua'l re -location began. the Bookstore eliminates possible thefts of books by forcing customers to file The entire move took less than a week, though there was some diffi- DUS p rley n tal as led f 904,96 have ith P -time )Wn ·es d dents bout maste r maste r Jgy, ch :ecent , comp ,ctrical MAC GRID PICKS Je s See Page 4 Among the outstanding issues discussed by the Administrative Council on Tuesday morning was the forthcoming Peace Sunday Committee.

These include problems of international and national conc ern Vietnam, the Middle East, Africa, Russo-Chinese border confrontations, freedom movements in Czechoslovakia, Hungary, civil wars in Biafra and the Congo-inflation, labor practices, civil rights , etc. We must recognize, however, that the primary commitment of an academic institution is to sustain an educational process designed to give the student a background of Information and understanding that enables him to more properly interpret his society and the role he will be called upon to play in it. This insight and understanding is not easily obtained and requires considerable preparation in lectures, discussions, and laboratories. To accomplish our educational purposes, the academic year is structured so that the faculty may fulfill their primary obligations. This requires a continuity of presentation and the various course syllabi are structured to make optimum use of the days scheduled for each course. To arbitrarily suspend classes and disrupt this process seems inconsistent with the commitment the institution has to its students. an~ d~scusslon periods must b_e n:iamta:me~ to assure those cond1tions which e_nabl~ 'the fa~u'.t~ n:iember to fulfill his respons1b1lihes to the student. These _responsibiJlities can_n~t be treated lightly by the Adm1mstration and the !acuity, for rt has be~n a long-standmg policy not to disrupt the educatio~al commitments the College has to its students . Any precedent which could encourage any group to seek the forum of the classroom to further their own ends or to publicize particular causes would require serious review by the faculty, Administration and students. All s'tudents in the proposed Peace Discuss'ions are invited to meet with members of the Administration on Tuesday, September 30, at 11 a.m . in Weckesser Annex . Thereafter, the findings of this meeting will be reviewed with the Faculty and Student Government." Of o·ther no'teworthy significance was the acceptance by the Administration of the Student Government Budget. The budget had been previously corrected by Student Government and will be up for r~viewal again in November. The final draft of the Dissent and Due Process statement organized by Student Government was also accepted by the Counci1. The statement clearly s1tates the Administrations position on dissent and clearly defines the protection of the student in all cases of dissent and demonstration. A safety proposa,J was submitted by Mr. Abate stressing the need for new safety measures at the College. With over 50 buildings on the campus, all vunerable to access, a definite need has been cited by the Faculty and Administration for new meas ur es. the'ir replacements were the main points of business at the Student Governmen1t meeting which took place on Saturday, Sept. 20. Bonnie Gellas, Ben Lodeski, Linda Tannenbaum and Ira Kretick, all members of •t he Junior C'l ~ss, offered the'ir resignations, effec-tive as of Sep't. 20, because of persona'! reasons. Elections of representatives to replace them, 'to choose representatives from 'the Senior Class, and to fill the Vice-Presidency of the Junior Cla·s s were set for Thursday, Oct. 2. Vot'ing places will be set up in the Commons from 9 a.m. •to 3:30 p.m. and in the New Men's Dorm from 4 p.m. to 9 p .m. Dr. Michelini gave a report on the accreditation •s tudies which will be made here in April. A case study ra1ther 'than a simple report will be turned in a1t the end, and Vhe s'tudy wil'l be on three major aspects of the schoo'l : the development of the masters program, the undergradua't e program in liberal arts, and Adminis'tration and faculty as they affect curriculum innovation and in'terdisciplinary program planning. Plans for Homecom'i ng and Spring Week-end were discussed witih the French Club sugges'ting ·that a Demolit'ion Show be scheduled for the former, and The Classics IV and Stevie Wonder be'ing named as possi'b'Je entertainers for ·the latter. App'l ica'tions for s'tudent representation on faculty commi'rtees were approved, but it was announced that these must go before tihe Adimn'i strative' Council. More information ·on this s11bjec•t was schedu'led to be issued to students during the week. Propos'itions ·that s tud ents be exempted from final exams and that skit nights and a juke box be set up in the Commons were discussed.

He served as Student Government President, Class President, Yearbook Editor, Band President and Latin Club President. His record of outstanding achievements continued and he graduated cum laude from St. Vincent College with a degree in philosophy. He served as President of the Pennsylvania Debators' Society, the youngest e'Jected Speaker of the Pennsy'Jvania College Legislature, and President of his class. He was chosen by President Truman as one of five college dell egates to the M'id-Cen, tury White House Conference on Youth in 1950. He also represented the Un'i ted States at international meetings of Pax Romana in Europe. After graduation from St. Vincent, Dean Manderino attended Harvard University Law School where he was awarded the Sidney Thompson Fairchild Scholarship and w·as chosen as a member of 'the Harvard Class Committee . After Harvard, two years were spent with the United States Court of Appeals as law clerk to the Honorable Austin L. Staley. Dean Manderino then began practicing law in Monessen and Greensburg. He has served many capacities in various civic ac't ivities, was the prime mover in establishing Monessen's Master Plan Conference and has become recognized as an expert in local government. In 1956, Dean Manderino began teadhling at the Duquense University School of law and on February 14, 1968 he was c'h osen by his faculty an d th e Pres'i dent of the University to h ead the School of Law as its Dean.

The situation has grown ou't of hand, undoubtedly the Deans' offices are either unaware of such conditions or th ey are clos'ing their eyes. The cafeteria si:tuation is a feature which needs mudh work. It now 'takes t'he average student 2030 minutes to wait for serving. To complement the problem, the existing faciHties are too crowded and many ,students are forc ed to stand and wait for empty tables. By the time one gets a chance to si't down and eat he has either lost his appe fi te or his food 'is ice cold. Both serving lines are not being utilized becaus e ",there just isn't enough h elp available." That feeble excuse is offered by the cafeteria personnel when questioned about 'the si:tuation. Another facet of dormitory life which has been allowed to deteriorate is the parking situation. It is now an accepted fact that Wilkes College is unable ,t o provide ample parkii ng spaces for everyone who wants one. To this has come the edict that dormitory proctors are not allowed to park their cars on campus. This is not only horrendous but 'is actually 'a healt'h haz·ard! I suffered a terrible experience la-st year when I fell in tlhe dormitory and 'h ad to be rushed to the hospital. Fortunately t'he proctor was available and immediately rendered assistance. If I had been forced to await the arrival of an ambulance any one of many things could have happened. This is even more disturbing when one considers t'he Temple Israel parking lot and th e fac,t that rt is not assigned to the staff.

Perhaps the clearest portrait of both the turned-on student and his straight classmate has been traced by a group of social scientis't s in California. Their conclusions, based on interviews and questionnaires, are generally supported, or at least not contradicted, by the findings of other investigators. Left-Wing Activist The student who has some familiarity with drugs-meaning, principally, the amphe't amines ("Pep pills") marijuana and LSD-is likely to be a middle-class or upper-middle class male majoring in the hu~ anities or the social sciencies at a college or university 'in or near an urban center. He probably disagrees with his parents' politics and is himself a left-wing activist. He is likely to have moved several times during his childhood and early adolescence. He probably characterizes himself as nonreligious in the traditional sense. Sports are of little importance to him, as are campus clubs and groups. Unhappy With World He is generally dissatisfied with his courses and teachers and what he sees as the irrelevance of his education, with the insti'tution's administration, with the socie·t y he grew up in and the world as it is. These are some -of the student drug user's charac'teris'tics found by Dr. Richard H. Blum and his associates, mainly at the InstHute for the Study of Human Problems, at Stanford University, in their survey of 1,200 students at five western colleges and universi't ies in the 1967 academic year. Their findings were published earlier th'is year as the second volume of two, under the ti~le "Students and Drugs." The project was financed in part by the National Institute of Mental Hea1'th. Now The Majority The student in wha:t was then the "Big minority" - Blum reported 1'hat a sma'Jiler 1968 follow-up study indicates that the "majority of the students" had some nl'ici1t drug experience-is likely also to be a coffee drinker and to be familiar wifu both tobacco and alcohol. He is comparatively unimaginative but probably "the more independent." He is without the pressures of "rancor or compulsive opposition" to h'is parents, although limited by a comm'iltment to family, institutional and cultural values which he cannot and probably would not wish to escape." Leans To Liberalism He 'i s fikeiy to be a science or technology major and rive on campus; 't o be very involved with sports and to be moving politically, i'f at all, from his parents' moderate conservafism toward being a liberal Democrat. He is no 'a ctivist poH'tically, nor ferven'tly religious.

It did, however, necessitate buying a new transmission. Passing th e time while wa'iting for the transmission people to repair our beloved jeep, we wandered into the projects and quickly made fri ends. We joined in the joy of the young children who amused thems elves by throwing rocks at the rats in fhe garbage. In the midst of the hunt a shout of glee was heard, for someone had stumbled upon a treasure . A soda pop bottle lay just barely covered by trash. Disappointment quickly followed becaus e it turned out to be a no-deposit bottle. So we returned to the business of throwing rocks at 't he rats.

Val., Colonels Forecast for Wins by Rich Feranti The Wilkes football squad is playing a big note on safety this season. The Colonels have invested in a revolutionary type headgear called "Riddell's Micro-Fit Helmet." This helmet took 15 years of research to develop before its final use. The first player to use the helmet was Larry Czonka of the Miami Dolphins. Czonka was suffering from head injuries received in college football at Syracuse and the pros were doubtful whether he would be able to play. After using the helmet for some time, it seems that the fear of injury is lessened. He only suffers from minor nose bleeds which is probably an internal disorder not caused by playing football. Chuck Robbins, the sporting goods outfitter for all the Wilkes teams, says, "A football helmet has to fit perfectly to be 100 per cent effective." Mr. Robbins claims that the new helmet is the best helmet he's ever seen, and he'll continue to push its use in football. Mr. Robbins also added, "Coach Schmidt is the most particular guy about safety in equipment; he always buys the best." Coach Schmidt also agrees this is the best helmet he's ever seen. He feels "that high school football players don't get the proper fit with equipment, especially helmets." But with this h elmet "I can form-fit every kid." Though the Colonels are still experimenting with the helmet Wilkes vs. Lycoming The Colonels, riding the crest of a 29-game winning streak should be able to handle the Warriors at Billport. Southpaw Joe Zakowski should enjoy a banner season with a fine showing in this opener. The "Gold Machine" will display a potent offensive with Zakowski throwing to the likes of Jack Clarke, Bill Lazor, fim Maraschio, and Ted Yeager. Full back Bob Genarro will steamroll out of the backfield and Yeager should scamper for 100 plus yards. The Warriors , always tough on their home field, lost a toughie to Albright las't week, 13-7, but will find the going rough aga'inst Rollie Schmidt's revamped defense. Wilkes 35 Lycoming 7 REVOLUTIONARY helmet design pictured will be used by Wilkes gridders to lessen possible injuries. (only eight new helmets are being used now), Coach Schmidt says, "Within a year or so I will comp'letely change over the helmets I am using now to the new ones." Secret of Headpiece The secret inside this headpiece is a new principle in helmets. The micro-fit offers five elements of protection: 1) THE NEW KRA-LITE II SHELL. Riddell's thermoplastic that disperses the blow over a wider helmet area. 2) INFLATED AIR-PADS lie close to the head surface. Upon impact, air pads compress, stretch, and ab- sorb light to moderately heavy blows. 3) 12 HYDRO CELLS CONTAIN WATER and METHYL ALCOHOL (to reduce weight and prevent freezing). These are activated when the inflated air-pads are compressed by .a heavy blow. At this time, the fluid in a wet reservoir of the hydro-cell is forced at a controlled rate into the dry reservoir through a connecting metering orifice. This further dissipates the force of the blow. 4) EXPANDED VINYL FOAM WITHIN and underneath the air(Continued on Page 7) by Pete Herbst, Sports Editor Albright vs. Juniata Albright, co-champions of the Northern Division in 1968, has ambitions of repeating 't hat honor again this season . The Lions have a poten't offensive led by Denny Zimmerman, t'he durable halfback who carried the ball 42 times in last week's 13-7 victory over Lycoming. Zimmerman averaged 32 attempts last year and intends to increase his NCAA record in that category. Sophomore quarterback, Jim Strohl may put the ball in the air quite often in this one since Juniata does not show much on defense. The Indians will undoubtedly miss Don Weiss, their sensational quarterback who is now barking signa'l s in the Canadian League. Albright 24 Juniata 7 Delaware Valley vs. Moravian Del Val, always a threat in the Northern Division, should be able to open the 1969 campaign on a winning note. QB Ron Timko, local product from Plains, should be able to lead the offense to paydirt against the depleted Greyhounds. The always tough Aggie defense could hold Rocco Calvo's crew to minus yardage on the ground. Moravian lacks a first-string taskmaster since Jim Dietz signed a professional contract wifh the Philadelphia Phillies. Delaware Valley 14 Moravian O THE GOLD MACHINE OFFENSE. Affording the protection for the Colonel backfield during the 1969 campaign and the probable starters at their respective positions for tomorrow's away contest with Lycoming are: (left to right) tight end Jack Clarke, tackle Ed Burke, guard Les Loveland, center and captain George Conway, guard Bill Hanbury, tackle Nate Eustis, and split end Bill Lazor. The charges of Rollie Schmidt gun for their 30th consecutive win at Williamsport. Football Rules Revamp~d College football, at an all-time peak in attendance and on-the-field efficiency in 1968, will look about the same to the man in the grandstand in 1969. But it'll look different for the players, coaches and officials down on the field. "Especially for the p'l ayers," says Elwood Geiges of Norristown, an NCAA rules advisor and supervisor of officials for the Eastern Co llege Athletic Conference which fields 114 teams from Pittsburgh to Maine to Maryland. Therefore, Geiges, as are others across 't he nation in similar positions, 'is planning a tour of area football clinics to explain the changes in the rules that haven't been changed in 20 years. The players, especially, should take notice. They're going to pay heavily for "showboating" or blowing off too mu ch steam after scoring a touchdown. "It was getting ridic ulous, really sophomoric, the way some players were putting on an act after scar- ing," says Geiges . "From now on, their teams will be penalized when p layers throw or kick the ball away after getting into t'he end zone for a score." So , from now on, the player who scores wil'l have to hand or toss the bal'i to the nearest official - like a gentleman even if he is a sophomore so the business of getting on with the game may proceed without delay. The penalty for fai lure to comply is 15 yards assessed at the ensuing kickoff, which then will be made from the 25-yard line instead of the 40. The defensive players also will have to mind their manners this fal'l when charging on a punter . The new rule says a pun'ter remains a kicker until he has a reasonable time to regain his balance. "This one is about 50-50," says Geiges . "It might result in more penal'ties for roughing the kicker or it might keep the defenders away a little longer and result in fewer penalties. We're not sure. But it may eventually prove sound as a safety measure ." Among the new rules is a gimmick to smooth out problems for a team struggling to get out of its own terrUory. If there's hanky-panky by the de fense against any offensive player except the passer during an incompleted pass play, the penalty is assessed from the spot of the foul instead of the spot of the original down in question. This could mean quite a chunk of yardage. The rule helps players and coaclhes who love those sideline conferences during charged time outs. Last year, only one player could confer on the sidelines . Now it can be more than one player - t'hough only one a:t a time. There are a couple of other changes that probably on'ly Geiges and his fellow experts understand. He's going to ·try to explain them on his trip next mon'th to New York, Syracuse, Boston, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Philadelphia, but they'll never b e explained satisfactorily to the man in the grands'tand.

BHI Staake, a five-foot, four-inch 160-pound senior, handles this part of the Colonels' attack, and is recognized as the premier punter in th e Middle Atlantic Conference . Bill Staake Staake entered Wilkes in 1966 as a 137-pound wrestling candidate but decided to first try out for the Colonel grid team as a kicking specialist. One look at Sraake's booming punts was all Coach Rollie Schmidt needed to realize that he had indeed found an outstanding kicking prospect. Since that day in 1966 Staake has trotted onto the fieid many times to provide the Colonels' margin of victory with an accurate placement or a high, spiraling kick. Probably the most memorable occasion in the minds of Colonel followers occurred in 1966 when he punted 10 times against Delaware Valley to protect -a slim 6-0 Colonel margin. Staake set another Colonel record in game by booming one punt 66 yards downfield. Surprising as it may seem, this was not his proudest moment on the footba:11 field . Rather, he likes to remember the 27-0 victory over P.M.C. in 1967 and a tremendous 65yard punt. Staake also cited last year's Lebanon Valley game when he placed two balls dead within the 10-yard line. These achievements did not occur because of luck, but rather as a result of the tremendous pride and effort which Staake puts into his kicking. Each day the Colonels' kicker punts roughly 75 to 100 footbarls into the air in an effort to improve his timing and rhythm, both of which are important if he is to get fhe necessary height and distance on his kicks. Last year Staake's efforts culminated in a league-leading 39.8 average. An even more impressive statistic, however, was that of the 44 punts attempted by Staake only 17 were returned for any yardage at all, and this totalled only 123 yards. The average return on each of his punts was 7.24 yards per punt. Off the field Staake has also enjoyed some proud moments, the proudest of which occurred three weeks ago when his wife Patricia gave birfh to the'ir first child, Patrick Wi11iam II. Who knows, perhaps 20 years from now another Staake may again be setting records on the gridiron at Ralston Field.

The Colonels will be looking for their 30th straight win whi'le the Warriors will be trying to even their seasons record at one and one. Last Saturday, Lycoming lost a 13-7 heartbreaker to A~bright and figure to be upset minded as t hey take the field tomorrow afternoon. •Coach Budd Whitehill's charges employ a multiple offense bu'ilt around the passing talents of jun'ior quarterback Steve Miller who ranked third in the MAC in passing l'ast year with 72 completions in 162 attempts. Last week he picked up · where he left off last year with 12 comp1etions in 20 attempts for 101 yards. Miller's favorite targets are junior wingback Chip Kauffman and jun'ior end Jim Smith who caught 28 and 27 passes respectively last year. The Warriors biggest running threa1t is junior fullback Bill Curley who also does the placekicking. The offensive line which sports le'ttermen at nearly every position is built around senior guard Dale Overly who stands six feet and we'i ghs 200 pounds. Other players to watch are sophomore tackle Mike Greiner (six feet four inches and 250 pounds] and center Ed Genther (six feet and 190 pounds. Defensively the Williamsport school employs a basic 4-4 with two halfbacks and a safe'ty. The outstanding player on the defensive unit is junior halfback 'Bill Olsen. With 30 lettermen return'i ng and only 6 lost through graduation and 'ineligibility, to say that Lycom'ing has a veteran te,a m is an understatement. Based on last weeks game with A'lbright they appear quite a bit stronger than last years squad Which had a dismal 1-7 record. Practically the whole offense is back from last year's squad and it should prove to be a stiff challenge to the Co'lonels' revamped defense - especially if quarterback Miller is having an "on" day. The defense is also loaded with veterans and on the basis of its creditable job against Albright, it will not be easy to score against the Warriors. With a little luck, the Warriors could have won last week's game with Albright. Undoubtedly, they will .b e up for the Colonels tomorrow. A team such as this has nothing to lose if beaten and everything to gain by winning. Page 5 by Pete Herbst, Sports Editor In 1967 Dancer's Image won the Kentucky Derby but was disqualified when traces of a certain drug were discovered in a urinalysis. The public was in a state of shock over the matter. Not that the horse was us'i ng drugs during the race but the fact that Dancer's Image was disqualified. Imagine the pubHc's reaction when t hey discover that a great many athletes, equestrian or human, collegiate or profess'i onal are also using drugs. The drugs in use are in the center of a major controversy in the sports world that could erupt into a major scandal. Consider these examp'les: On November 1, 1968, in Grenoble, 23-year-old Yves Motfin was the surprise winner of a regional cross-country ,bicycle race. Two days later he died - and amphetamines were found. Pitcher Dennis McClain, of the Detroi't Tigers, takes shots - or at least he took a shot of cortisone in h'is throwing shoulder prior to the six'fh game of the 1968 World Series, the only game he won of three appearances. Arkansas quarterback Bill Montgomery suffered a shoulder injury in the second quarter of 'the 1969 Sugar Bowl game, went to the sidelines for a shot of pain-kiUer and returned to the game to complete 11 passes to beat Georgia. These examp'les indicate the case for drugs: their benefits, disadvantages, harmful effects, and moral consequences. But how do the athletes come in contac•t With these drugs? The avail'ability of the drugs rises as as does the knowledge of them and with the increasing advancements made in med'icine. At present, most college teams have physic'ians who make the drugs available to the players. Naturally, the same holds true for professional sports. The Olymp'ics, where the maximum degree of competition and pressure takes place, is a crossroads of information for drug-users and administers. Here ,athletes and doctors exchange views and information about drugs, o'ld and new. It is interesting to note that most Olympic athletes consider their competitors to 'be more doped up than themselves. The Americans, meanwhile, coming from the !'and of the pill, are considered to be the most doped up of them all. The moral issue concerning drug usage is rather foggy with each side of the argument possessing valid points. The phys'i cal matter, whether the drugs are detrimental or not, is rather straightforward. There are two types of drugs in use . The first are restorative drugs wh'ich are used by athletes suffering from illness, injury, or pain. Painki:llers, barbiturates, musc'le-relaxers, and ,t ranquilizers are restorative drugs. Additive drugs are of a more dangerous na'ture. These are used with the intention of stimulating one's performance beyond natural ability. Best known of these are the amphetamines: Benzedrine, Dexedrine, and Me'fhadrine (Speed]. These drugs speed up circulation and respiration, and help individuals overcome fatigue. They ,also produce an unbeatable feeling in the individual. These drugs are especially dangerous. They are psychologically addicting. An overdose or too frequent usage causes cardiovascular collapse, cerebra'! hemorrhage, brain lesions, paranoia, and ulcers. With these factors in mind it seems that most athletes would not use the add·i tive drugs . But some do, though not as many collegiates as is commonly thought. Their viewpo'int is easily accepted: An athlete will resort to anything to better his performance. His point is wel'l taken. Don't athletes or fhe'i r coadhes constantly seek better equipment wh'i ch wfll help him or h'is team? Aren't the drugs then an interior equipment, also aiding the athlete? But the whole issue boils down to one point. If the athletes continue to use the drugs, then athletic competition will become extinct and be replaced by drug competition. The athlete who uses the superior drug will 'b e the winner. If fhat's the case, why not have a bunch of machines or computers all doped up, put them in uniform and march them onto the field?

In a daring move, the hooters of Coach Jim Nedoff decided to defy an MAC ruling and use freshmen during the upcoming season. "This move is almost necessary," commented Nedoff, "because the squad is rather small and the upperclassmen just don't have enough playing experience . It is something we would have liked to avoid, but the team has shown its preference." Ed Garabedian connected on a SUE DITSON.

This is designed to offer final support to the four preceding elements. by Maureen Klaproth The first few weeks of sch ool have been quite nostalgic for your inveterate reporter - fu ll of hundreds of golden memories. Being around dur ing Fres hman Week gives one a chance to recall those days when everythin g on Campus was a myriad display of wonder, excitement, and even terror. I've wandered about and watched the clinging groups of frosh who are both desperate to appear like COLLEGE STUDENTS, and who must eventuall y admit that they are far from acclimated to the environment and they break down and ask some one how to find Weckesser Hall. One tends to laugh and tease a bit before directing the weary student on his way, and then suddenly it seems impossible to believe that the intricacies and mystery no longer re main for upperclassm en. We are aware that classes after a mere week will no longer seem exciting or unus ual, bu t an extension of those high school days we try to forget. The major difference will be that they do not follow each other in consecutive order, but are separa te d by breaks in the sched ul e. The big college da n ces and affairs th a t we once looked up to with expectations of find ing polished, sophisticated coeds and lettermen lose th e first glow, and suddenly we realize that they are every bit as nervous an d u nsure as we were back jn the gym at home. W e don 't experien ce an overnight trans formation fro m a wallflower into a social bu tterfly - very little is differe nt. There co mes the ultim ate di sillusionm en t - we co m e to college with our applica ti on full of all th ose imp o rt ant extrac urri cul a r· activities - homecoming.., q ueen, ch eerlead er, edi tor, qu arterb ack .

The course, which will take the form of a discussion seminar, is the first class concerning this particular subject to be taught at Wilkes. The course and its syllabus was developed by Dr. Benjamin Fiester, Mr . Sanley Gutin, Mr. Thomas Kas: ka, Mr. Raymond O'Connor and Dr. James Rodechko as a result of student requests that suc h a program be formulated. Mr. Kaska, Mr. O 'Connor and Dr. Rodechko will be the professors in charge of the class sessions. Nine paperback books will form a basis for the discussion to be carried on in class, and they will cover such areas as: black music and art, slavery, the Negro during Reconstruction and the Negro in America today. Whenever possible, field trips will also be worked into the class schedule. "This will not be primarily a lecture course," according to Mr. Kaska. ''We will all discuss the readings from the books and the way that we feel about them. I see a definite need for this course . It should help bring to light an aspect of American culture which has been long neglec ted." There will be a maximum of 25 students admitted to the' course, and they must be juniors or seniors. Applicants will be accepted on a first-come, first-s erved basis. The course will offer three credits toward a student's elective load . [However, it cannot count toward his major.) H e may choose the elective heading from any of three departments which are operating the course. The class will .mee t once each week for a three-hour evening session.

In addition to a lecture hall seating 400, th e new facility will include classrooms, laboratories for electrical and materials engineering with special equipment rooms to accommodate X-ray equipment, a linear accelerator, electronic microprobe, and other equipment essential to modern engineering and science programs. There will be environmental scienc e laboratories with a special observatory facility, as well as a fine arts gallery and studio classrooms for fine arts education majors ; a special micro-biology laboratory for students of nursing and facilities for experimental psychology, student faculty counseling and sp ecia l tutorial instruction. The offices of the department of mathematics, classrooms and computer science rooms, as well as a number of special seminar rooms and team-teaching facilities will complete the assignment of space within the addition. Conyingham Hall was one of two buildings presented to the college in its early years. In 1937 the lat e Mrs. Bertha Robinson Conyngham, widow of John N. Conyngham, donated their former home to Wilk es. Until its loss, the building had accommodated classes in engineering, mathematics and art. When first given to the college, it contained the library and the departments of biology, physics and chemistry. Because of the steady growth of the college and its plans for the introduction of n ew programs in electrical and materials engineering, environmental science and mathemat- · ics, its loss created a condition of emergency. Immediately following the fire, [Continued on Page 8) Calendar, Brochure, Activities Fee lnclude_d In S.G. Summer Worklist While many of us enjo yed · the resp ite of summer vacation with jobs and vario us kinds of leisure, the Student Government worked diligently at two big meetings and met weekly to organize the coming year's activities and write proposals to be accepted by the faculty and Administration . One of the most outstanding accomplishments of hard work and group eff □-rt was the passage of the proposal submitted by Student Government to th e faculty conce rning student representation on faculty committees . This concept was developed last fall by the Student Life Committee and further deliberation was held in the Educational Policies Committee and the Student Government. On April 22, 1969 the faculty was addressed by the student members of th e Educational Policies Committee, who advocated the idea that students receive representation on various faculty committees. Two weeks later the faculty discussed such an idea and at a subsequent faculty meeting the faculty approved the proposal of student representation in principl e with the details to be worked out by the students. faculty, and Administration . At last Tuesday's faculty luncheon, Dan Kopen, president of Stu dent Government, presented the final draft of the proposal and later that afternoon the faculty accepted the proposal with reservations only in technical ch an ges. A second ins_trumenta] piece of legislation that was worked on b y the Student Government this summer was the Activities Fee. Each regular Wilkes College student has been assessed an activities fee of $10 to be effective for the 1969-1970 academic year. The Student Government expects to receive $24,000 with the details of funding various projects left largely to the discretion of th tivities Fee Committee . AIIJ,ong the types of activities that the fund would support are clubs,/ classes, co nc erts, dances, lectures/ movies, theatrical performances, as deemed worthy by the Student Government and the Activities Fee Committee. An emphasis on campus-oriented activities will be placed to insure that Wilkes students deriv e the fullest benefits possible through the administration of the activities fee fund.

The tendency has been to blame the students themselves for the trouble , and they deserve a major part of the criticism . But th e admini strations have , in effect, created the climate for disruption , in some part, by refusin g to acknowledge the problems of students who try to go throu gh channels. The pl ight of the law abiding student at Harvard is probably typical. As a graduate student told Senate investigators : "The main problem at Harvard is not SOS . The main problem is the Harvard administration and faculty ; their leniency, their blind ness and their cowardice ."" The student noted that violence before this past sprin g' s outbreak had been condoned by President Nathan Pusey as political in nature and therefore just ifiiable . Pusey refu sed to puni sh student radicals who mobbed the ca r of Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara afte r he spoke on campu s in 1966. Other disturbances followed . Th e president of student government before the sprin g riot asked for 30 minutes of Pu sey 's time each month to discuss stu dent problems. Pusey refused even when he reduced his request to 15 minutes . The administration , however, did find time , un der humili atin g conditions , to listen to the troublem akers who demanded and obtained a voice on all faculty committees. Peaceful students had not been able to get a representative even on one such committee. The point is , as the graduate student at Harvard put it: " Again and again we are tau ght at Harvard th at if you want to be heard , you must be rude , aggressive and pu shy and that if you want chan ges made, it is best to use force." That is the lesson and it bodes ill for society that youn gsters are comin g out of our universities with that opinion . The precedin g editorial was written by the editors of the Wilkes-Barre Record recently. After scanning it , The Beacon has made the followin g observations . Wilkes is about to initiate a student representation policy on faculty committees for the 196970 academic year. This important move is the culmination of much work done by the faculty , Administration, and the student body through its elected representatives , Student Government. This drastic change will do much to change the entire scope of affairs on the campus and will undoubted ly afford the students a voice in the Col lege's affairs. We congratulate those individu als who. devoted their time and knowl ed ge in order that such a move mi ght be made. This illustrates the fabulous cooperation which can be found at Wilkes if the proper channels of authority are followed. It is also interesting to note the distinct difference between Harvard and Wilkes in regard to discussions with their administrations. Any student will be welcomed to discuss any matter pertaining to the College or himself with any member of the Administration . The "Open Door Policy" is practiced throughout Weckesser Hall with the exception of the President 's office. Here an appointment is almost necessary but can be made with minimum confusion. This policy has contributed much in establishing the confidence and cooperation which now exists between these two elements. We should also like to mention the facul ty for its willingness to meet with students at any time to discuss various topics and for its devotion to the student body in certain areas. The Beacon is publishing this editorial as a plea to all Wilkes students to make their objections and complaints known to the proper officers th rough the proper channels. There is nothing on this campus which cannot be resolved throu gh discussions. Force is not the solution to any problem - it merely opens more avenues of discontent and generally affords the dissenters nothing. This editorial is not to be read as proAdministration . It merely points out facts which do exist - nothin g has been forced upon the editorial board of the paper. Admitting there is some room for improvement in everythin g that exists today , The Beacon is proud to be associated with the Administration , faculty , and the student body of Wilkes College. Equalized Education Equalization in education is no lon ger racial. It is economic . Four cities in as many states are declarin g that unequal distribution of school funds is a violation of the 14th Amendment 's guarantee of equ al protection of law to the nation 's public school children . In other words, these suits and others contemplated by bi g cities in many other states, say that it is not ri ght for suburbs to spend more money on their pupils than most bi g cit ies do , that the funds should somehow be pooled and redistributed equa ll y. Of course , that strikes at the very foundation of the responsibility for education which is now largely local. Nationally, the suburbs spend about 30 per cent more on each child 's education than does the average big city. Parents move to suburbs to give their children a THE FIRST STEPS ARE THE ROUGH ONES! better education , and are willin g to pay the hi gher t axes which such a step entails . James Con ant , former President of Harvard , and James Allen , U.S. Commissioner of Education , are amon g those who believe that the states have a constitutional obligation to equalize educational spending. States now assume an avera ge of 40 per cent of school costs , on a pro rata basis . Communities make up the difference. The result is that in California , per-pupil expenditures ran ge from $365 to $1 ,353 per district ; and in New York, from $470 to $1 ,600 . Should legislatures , unde r the impetus of court orders , equalize all spend ing on education within their borders , we can foresee another popular rebellion . States mi ght assume 50 per cent of the cost , but communities willin g to pay more should have the right to do so . F.G.D.

The week, together with extended orientation activities proceeding throughout the semester, is designed to help freshmen make the difficult transition from high school to college. The first step involved the parents of the freshmen, who were extended a welcome by Dr. Eugene S. Farley in the gymnasium. Parents of men and women were then separated to listen to speeches from the deans . Dean of Women Jane K. Lampe addressed the women's parents in the Center for the Performing Arts, as Dean of Men George F. Ralston addressed the parents of the men in the gym. The entire day concluded with ·an informal reception on th a-.lawn beside Chase Hall, giving the parents a time to relax and digest the information from the president and deans. By Monday morning it was time to begin orienting the freshmen themselves to life at Wilkes. The class gathered in the gym for the opening conference for the Class of 1973. Dean of Academic Affairs Francis Michelini and Dean George Ralston welcomed the class for the first time. A good portion of that day was taken up with registration, and then the men and women met with their respective deans for the first indication of what is expected of students concerning grades, conduct, and other material concerning the college. On Tuesday resident students attended conferences with Dean Lampe and Dean Arth ur Hoover. In a departure from past practice, upperclassmen offered book reviews of the required reading. Although in past years this had been handled by the faculty, the general consensus of opinion seemed to be that the new approach was a good one. Growing Up Absurd was reviewed by George Conway, The Oh No! It's Zak Hayes by Zak Hayes Greetings, fellow students! Right now, you 're probably asking yourself: Who in thunderation is Zak Hayes? And I can easily see why no'ne of you would recognize th e name. You see, I'm writing under a pseudonym; first, because I feel Zachary Hayes is a name of literary perfection - one worthy to appear in such a publication as The Beacon; secund, due to the extreme ly poor quality of humor which will be presented in my column, I feel it is necessary to remain temporarily anonymous, so as not to incriminate myself. Last year, you see, The Beacon, under new supervision, sought help (allege Acquires land To Be Used For Dorm Ro n Lustig 1e st ud e nt s ot i ng, 76 West lo th e edito r , Naked Ape by Jack Blann ett, and The Invisible Man by Russ Williams. Registration continued throughout the day according to m ajors, and each student was given an op portunity to tour the n ew library. Wednesday morning was devoted to acquainting freshmen with specific areas of college life. Professor Robert C. Riley of the psychology department spoke on "Counseling and You", and Rich ard Raspen, the Financial Aid Officer, explained various aspec ts of the financial aid program. John Chwalek, Director of Placement, gave a rundown on student employment, and Samuel Davenport, Alumni Secretary, spoke on alumni affairs. Dr. Harold Cox of the history department added interesting sidelights on the history of Wilkes College, and Wilkes-Barre. A highlight of the week was the annual luncheon at which Dr. Farley, president of the College, officially welcomed the Class of 1973 to Wilkes. After an int roduction b y Dean Ralston, Dr. Farley delivered an address to the class urging it to be on guard at all times concerning attempts by outsiders to provoke unr est on campus. President Farley admonished students to develop th eir own thinking despite attempts by others to use influence. · In saying that Wilkes attempts to make its work relevant to changes in mod ern day society, Dr. Farley observed: "We will always fail, but it's up to yo u to bridge the gap between what we give you and what you think is relevant. " The final speeches of the week for freshmen were delivered on Thursday by fellow students. In the First Presbyterian Church the class listened to addresses by Dan Kopen, president of Student Government; Drew Gubanich, president of In terdormi tory Council; Jay Goldstein, advisor to the freshman class; and Bill Kaye, orienta'tion advisor. After a week of digesting information and listening to faculty, Administration, and upperclassmen A property at 271-73 South River Street has been sold to the college by M. Luther and Evelyn Kaiser, 107 West River Street. Purchase price of the property, according to the tax stamps on the deed, was $65,000. The property contains 5,750 square feet of land and plans call for it to be transformed into a dormitory for use during the '70-'71 academic year. from its readers, in hopes of improving its quality. Not to appear apathetic, I asked myself: What can you do for yo ur Beacon editors? After conceding that The Beacon's news and sports coverage were impeccable, I realized immediately what I could do to improve The Beacon - nothing. After many months of consideration on the subject, however, I was ab le to discover one weakness on The Beacon's part - it wasn't fun to read, rather it was merely informative. Now let's face it, humor can b e fun sometimes. I decided to apply for a position on the staff, writing satire. I believe that a humorous addition to The Beacon will serve as the missin g link b etween a good college newspaper an d a sensational one. Having been offered an opportunity to contribu te my opinions to The Beacon, I would like to express m y gratitud e to its editors. I sho uld make it clear at this time that th e outlook in my column will be one of satire. An y ideas expressed in my essays should not be taken as representing my true convictions, for ind eed I have none. If anyone objects to any statement I mak e, I am quit e prepared not only to r etract it, but also to deny under oath that I ever made it, okay? speak, on Friday morning the freshman class was given an opportunity to relax completely. Buses in front of Chase Hall took the class to Dr. Farley 's farm for the annual freshman picnic, a day of sports, games, good food, music, and an introduction to cheers and hazing. As usual, a highlight was learning the Ralston cheer from Dean Ralston himself. Throughout the week, freshmen were entertained. at mixers, films and dances. They were given opportunities to meet with the faculty and individual advisors, with Big Brothers and Sisters, and were introduced to campus clubs and organizations. Yet, the orientation activities actually continue throughout th is semester, as the class meets weekly to discover the use of the library, to meet with th e deans, and to dis cuss th e books •o n the required reading lists with u pperclass moderators.

The Hippies were a non-viol ent, non -involvement movement that had, in a defiant sort of way, s eceded from soci e ty. Soon th ey learned that their antithetical society could not survive independently of the establishment. Therefore, the movement was buried . An official funeral was held in Octob er 1967. The Hippies had watched society both mock and ignore th em . As non-violents and non-activists, they were unable to retaliate. From the remains of the Hippi e movement rose political ac tivism . Since they co uld not live apart and parallel to the establishment, the a lternativ e was to change the establi shment. The obvious focal point of these attempts was understandably the univ ers it y.

MARKET ST., WILKES-BARRE OPEN MONDAY & THURSDAY TO 9 P. M. �Frid ay, September 19, 1969 by Pete Herbst, Sports Editor It was my good fortune this summer to read an excellent football diary entitled Instant Replay by Jerry Kramer. The author played professional football for the Green Bay Packers and was all-Pro tackle several times during his career. Kramer was selected recently to the AllStar team for the 1960's. In his book the articulate and hard-hitting tackle from Green Bay attempts to reveal the inside of a professional football team. More specifically, Kramer relates what it like to play for the winningest team in football, the Packers, and its winningest and most re spected coach, Vince Lombardi. Vince Lombardi is the ultimate in coaching. He is a ma$ter psychologist, knowing precisely when to psych ,his players up and when to whip them down. He is a perfectionist who drives his team to the limit. There is nothing in sports that compares to the grass drills ·o f Lombardi. While other teams do about 20 in a practice session, Lombardi has the Packers do so. It is difficult to disagree with Jerry. The Packers have won three consecutive championships in the National Football League and two consecutive world championships. No other team has done either. So what type of team were the champion Packers? What were the players like? On the field they are a unified force which crushes opponents with simplicity and abandon. Off the field the p layers are still a unified group with genuine affection for each other. Regardless of whether a player was a regular or not, he would help out wherever he could. Even if a regular was benched, that player would still aid his replacement. But in 1967 the Packers got •off to a slow start and los t a few ball games that should have been won. Kramer ·began to notice a few things thcrt occurred off the field . The major thing that bothered him was fighting among the Packers . Kramer observed that fights never broke out when the Packers were winning. He thus began to think whether winning creates affection among teammates or if affection among teammates creates a winning team. He was inclined to think the former. Since the Blue and Gold Colonels resemble the Packers in many ways, I wondered what the case was with the Wilkes gridders of 196970, Anyone who knows the players on the team or observes them at practice can tell the players and the coaches are very close. Go to one of their practices and you will find the players h elping each other, providing inexperienced players with information, and always listen'i ng to the coaches. Would the relationship among the players be the same if the Colonels were not as successful as they are? I spoke to a few of the players on the squad and most agreed that regardless of 'the team's success the guys would get along. George Conway, senior captain and offensive center, said, that all the guys pull for each other and if the team was losing the players would stick together more in an attempt to win. Bill Hanbury, 6-3, 220-pound lineman, felt that all the players had a common goal: to win the championship and extend their winning streak to 37 games, Hanbury thought this was a very important factor affecting team camaraderie, Obviously, ·some of the Colonels disagree with Kramer. Not being a part of either team, it is difficult for me to say if winning creates camaraderie or camaraderie creates a winning team. For the Colonels' sake, however, I hope the players never find out how they would react during a losing season. "Pride and Poise" is the motto of the Blue and Gold. You'll see a lot of both on September 27th, when the Colonels take on Lycoming in the first game of an anxiously awaited season. LEWIS - DUNCAN Sports center and trophy gallery 11 East Market Street, Wilkes-Barre HEADQUARTERS FOR COLLEGE CLOTHING THE BEACON Page 5 Wilkes A Perennial Power In MAC But Athletics Is Only Number 2 by Rick Bigelow During the 1968-69 academic year, Wilkes College athletic teams won championships in foo ~ball and wrestling. The soccer and basebaiJI teams experienced winning seasons and finished high in fh e MAC s'lands. The basketball team also established itself as a resurgent by compiling its first winning record in six years. This year promises more of the same with our recordsetting football team leading the way. Such an outstanding record is proof positive that Wilkes College is indeed a power to be reckoned with in the MAC and among the nation's _small colleges. However, it has not always been so. Following a five-year period of winn'i ng football teams under the tu'lelage of George Ralston, now Dean of Men, in the late 40's and early 50's, Wilkes' teams began to show a general decline. The College subsequently experienced a decade of mediocre athletic teams, where defeats far outnumbered vietories. In 1961 a decision was made by the Wilkes Administrative Council to upgrade the Wilkes athletic program, particularly football and basketball, to match the already wellestabl'ished academic standards. It was fe'lt that sloppy, indifferent play on the athletic field had a Student Gives View detrimental effect on th e reputation of the College. Befor e the d ecision was m ade, ho wever, another alternative to the dilemma was considered - abandonment of intercolleg'ia1te sports entire'ly. Fortunately, this alternative was r ejected as it was felt that intercolleg'i a te competition directly affects the morale and attitude of th e stud ent body. This brings us to an outs'tan din g point of conjecture - has the decision to upgrade athletics had a beneficial or detrimental effec'I on the College and its reputa'tion? From the point of view of the athlete and sports enthusiast, the decision has proven beneficial as the College has consistently fielded winners and more than its share of MAC champions during the past few years. This fact leads us to another question - has the College garnered the reputation as an "athletic factory"? Talks with Administrative officials, faculty, and students seem to indicate the contrary. Wilkes Coilege academic standards have not been affected in any way. The advent of the superior athlete has not forced the Administration to lower ei'ther the admission or graduation requirements. Nor has the studen:t body's cumulative average fallen. In fact, statistics compiled by College officials at the end of the 1968 fa'll semester show that all fall sports participants had a cumula'tive average above 2.0 (football, 2.10; basketball, 2.18; and soccer, 2.54). this year and n ext year's team even though it will be a good team - might not be strong enough to 'h andle the likes of Vermont and Ind'i•a na State." An o:ther interesting question arises at this time. How is the superior athlete attracted to Wilkes? Do they al'! receive scholarships? There are two answers to the first question. The first and probably most important is recruiting. Prior to 1961, very little recruiting was done •by the athletic staff. Today, however, most of the athle1tes are products of the recruiting system. The Wilkes system of recru'Hing is sma'll-scale, cons isting of a visit to the campus by the applicant, and an offer of finanC'ial assistance, if the applicant is qualified. The second answer to fhiis question is the caliber of the coaches. Coach Reese feels that the coaching has played a large role in the rise of Wi'lkes' athle'lic fortunes. "Our good, yo un g coaches have been a major factor in our athletic success. Their knowledge and ability h elp produce 'the outstanding teams, which produce a good athletic reputa:tion for the College. This reputation, in turn, attracts more and b etter athletes to Wilkes." Dean Ralston also feels the coaches play an important role in attractin g athletes. "The most important feature of our program is th e personal contac'I betw een our coaches and the applicants. This has made our recruiting program successful." The same point of view is shared by Dr. Farley. His comment was, "The successfu'l coaches h•ave developed an outstanding program that appeals to these boys , and consequently they decide to enter Wilkes. The coaches, thos e employed on full-time basis and also those on a part-time basis, are knowledgeable in their respective fields and have proven competent to the nth degree in the past few years. Wilkes College is forturrate to have coaches with such abilitymen who are also concerned with academ'ic standards ." A conversation with the athletic director at another MAC institution it.

For many local fans this small article was the realization of a dream -the Wilkes College footba ll team has finally reached the plateau where it will garner the recognition it so richly deserves. But has this article actually done justice to our men? It is the feeling here that the art'icle [loosely referred to as such] was compiled by a sixth-grader who happened to need a topic for an English essay. The "meat" of the story is missing, although the writer does give hints that a "real story" does indeed exist behind the mountains of Northeast Pennsylvania - on e that would explain the longest winning streak in the n ation. Too much space is devoted to quotes which were probably gathered in plain disChuck Lengle cussions and too little emphasis is given to the football exploits of the local eleven. Who in the world cares if Joe Zakowski is a left-hander or a rightie? Could it be that the writer just enjoys a perverted sense of humor? Perhaps he is hoping to gain employment with a television show as a comedy writer. In any event, it is again disheartening how a highly-respected periodical such as SI would stoop such a low degree of sensationalism to "beef up" its pages. A copy of The Beacon will be sent to the SI editorial offices, hoping to invite a true (however biased] view of our grid team. It is quite interesting to note that Wilkes College does not offer a physical education major. Most schools with fine sports records enjoy a phys ed curriculum where they can store their athletes unt'il their e ligibility runs out. Wilkes enjoys nothing of this kind. Secondly, the school sports an enrollment of approximately 2,600 of which bette r than 100 males found time to go out for the fall sport. Another interesting fact is the grid team posted a 2.55 cumulative average last semester - far above the school mean. Now, if the writer had become bored w'ith straight facts, we think there are many human interest stories which could have easily been discovered by a GOOD SPORTS COLUMNIST! Anchoring the Colonel offensive line (a position he has been holding for the past four years) is George Conway. Conway stands 6'2" and weighs 220 - nothing ususual yet, but it is also a fact that the "Deacon" is a pre-ministerial student and plans to enter sem'i nary after graduation in 1970. Then there is the story bordering around our fine place-kicker, Bill Staake. Staake has been participating in athletics all his life with the sight of only one eye. The Maryland native also finds time to wrestle in the winter and did letter in baseball while in high school. These are just two examples of stories which could have filled the pages of SI with good, clean, straight-from-the-shoulder sports info. Too bad the writer did not have enough ability to sense a good story. It is hoped that this SI mess infuriates the Colonels to bigger and better performances this season. Perhaps SI will have time to write about us with a 37-game winning streak. * * * * * Remember the United States Merchant Marine Academy? It was the culprit who laid claim to the Lambert Bowl last year. Well, there is no need to worry about the Mariners this season. They sailed into Gettysburg last week (heavy favorites, we might add] with aspirations of gaining their first Win of the '69 campaign. Well, the Bullets had different ideas and sank the Academy, 19-7. We should like to thank Howard Shoemaker's charges for a job well done . The G-burg squad has suffered through many a dismal season-"- perhaps this is just an indication that it is on the road back to the supremacy it once enjoyed. Good luck, G-burg! * * * * * It is the hope here that the Inter-Dormitory Council and/or Student Government find the way to sponsor trips to all the away football games this year. Nothing serves to inspire outstanding efforts than the cheering of partisan fans. If Wilkes is expected to continue rts winning efforts, then it has the right to expect a following at ALL its contests. With the same thought in mind, we would like to remind everyone that the Colonels travel to Indiana State of Pennsylvan'i a on Saturday, November 15. PLEASE make every effort possible to make this journey (Indiana State is located about 45 miles east of Pittsburgh) -without a doubt this is the biggest game on the '69 schedule and will be a "make or break" game.

Since Nedoff has only eight players returning from last season and a total of 16 upperclassmen, the new rule will seriously hinder the team's chances for success. Therefore, the team will vote tomorrow whether to play freshmen in spite of the MAC rule and thus forfeit all conference games. But the conference games will still be played.

Also , considerable research was done in connection wifh new uses for the Commons that will be open this year on week nights as well as weekends; the groundwork was laid for the two elections that will be held this fall to replace the vacancy of Student Government representative to the Senior Class and the vacancy of vice president to the Junior Class; and an entirely new program dealing with the language barrier prob'lem that many students experience in the classroom. Student Government also proclaimed that its main goal this year will be to inject our campus with a sense of pride.

Much work has been undertaken by our organization during the summer months, and several new ideas have been incorporated into our structure to allow for a greater degree of student self-determination in both academic and social affairs than has existed previously on our campus. In April of this year, plans for two majur pieces of legislation were beginning to materialize. On April 22, Jay Goldstein, Vice-President of Student Government, and I advocated the concept that studen'ts receive representation on virtually all faculty committes. This proposal has been agreed to "in principle" by the Student Government, the faculty, and the Administration. Acceptance of the proposal by the faculty will allow us to begin the process of nominating students to the various faculty committees. Also, in April we conducted a student referendum on the institution of a $10 activities fee .

All of this work has required 'the extension of much effort this summer, bu't the bulk of uur work remains to be accomplished during the year as we seek to make effective the plans that have been laid this summer as well as to institute new programs requiring the cooperation of the student body for success. Some of our most important projects this year will be in the area of community service. As college students, ours is a position that allows us to make significant contributions to our community provided that we are willing to accept the responsibilities of such invo'lvement. Two areas of particular concern are in Tutorial Assistance and Red 'Cross service. Ina Brown is our campus coordinator for the tutorial services. She will be working through the headquarters at the YM-YWCA in an effort to secure cooperation from our student body. There are 11 centers in Luzerne County where s'tudent tutorial assistance is needed and we hope that we can be of service in these areas. The Red Cross offers further opportunities for student involvement in community service . We will be seeking voluntary cooperation in this field to assist the Red Cross during emergency periods as well as to receive training in emergency techniques. Our Reach-Out Committee, cochaired by Mary Ann Polochko and Jack Blannett, will be continuously involved in serving the underprivileged and handicapped of our co unty thro ugh projects such as field trips for orphans and social gatherings for the aged and handicapped. All of these service projects will require your participation if we are 'to realize the successes that we an ticipate. None of these can be successfully met without your assistance.

The academic year ahead looms as one of the most challenging in the history of American undergraduate education. To those who view higher education from the perspective of an undergraduate, it has b ecome increasingly apparent that we are faced with what are not clearly soluble problems, but rather, with a host of dilemmas. This predicament has manifested itself in th e anxiety that has become wid espread among undergraduates . We are faced with a series of seemingly impossible to answer questions demanding immediate responses from a war that is morally repugnant to many who are on-call to participate in it to a realization that we, as students, cannot solve the problems of the world while the near-total commitment of our society to higher education indicates that from th e halls of colleges and universities are expected to emerge individuals capable of rectifying th e accumulated errors of past ge nerations .

We will b e dedicated to contributing 'to our campus environment by initiating changes where changes are reasonable and in helping to solve the problems that confront us. This year S tud ent Government is pl edged to responsible action - not for the sake of action, but for achievement; to change - not for the the sake of change, but for improvement; and to wield student power - not for the sake of power, but for constructive ends. The type of Student Government described can work only with student participation. This participation do es not have to be directly in the affairs of Student Government. Individuals in clubs which undertake se rvi ce projects, staff members and co ntributors to campus publications, men and women in athletics and in th e arts, and countless others who dedi ca te effort to the College and the community - these are all representative of student invo lvemen t. The opportunities that exist today for our involvement are Shop at . . . GRAHAM'S unlimited- we are needed as teachers; we are needed for our ideas ; in short, we are needed as contrib utors. Often such efforts are thank less, often taken for granted, and too often go unnoticed while the actions of a few of us are subjected to irresponsible sensationalism. It takes a certain amount of self-confidence to maintain the conviction that what we are working for is in fact worthwhile, especially when working within a system that has come under heavy attack. Stud ent Government will be a government of contribution - we will contribute our efforts to our College and our community because we feel that they will be worth the time we will devote over this year of our lives. We are confident that we can help to eliminate the ine quities that exist in various areas of our College; we are proud of what our College stands for as eloquently phrased in .the Marks of and Educated Man and we will work to make the College adhere to these ideals in spite of itself; and we are aware that the problems that we face, both real and imaginary, are generally more Gomplex than simple and we are ready to tackle the complexities that they involve .

The tutor individualizes educational and sometimes social assistance . The one-to-one relationship of the tutor-tutee is of prime importance .

The Bookstore now occupies space once used as the dorm's recreation are·a . The store's relocation is a student-initiated project. It was first suggested by Drew Gubanich, President of me, at an me meeting before the close of last semester. From IDC, the suggestion was sent to Student Government, where it was proposed by Bill Kaye, SG Treasurer, at an SG meeting on Jul y 12. The mov e was approved by the Administration during the following week, and two weeks later, on August 4, the actual re -location began. ENTRANCE to the Bookstore eliminates possible thefts of books by forcing customers to file The entire mov e took less than a idually. week, though there was some diffi- culty with certain textbook orders . All books had been. ordered in January, and were consequently sent to the store 's former address . Much time was spent in moving these shipments over to the store's new 'l ocation. The present store is a roomier place than the old, and a se'lf-service system has been set up in the textbook section . In th e past, textbooks have been handed out by th e bookstore personnel. The self-service leads to the new store 's one problem, according to Millie Gitti ns , bookstore proprietor. "When you were passing out the books yourself, you could tell just about when you were running low and should re-order them. Now, with them on the shelves, it's hard to know how many you have left.
