A Well-Satisfied Coupl e Lombardi Challenges Roke Dear Editor : I write this letter for two purposes: 1) to correct a mistake in the Biology Club's letter to the editor of last week (December 13), and 2) to let my position be known on the proposed SG policy concerning parties being held by clubs, etc., at the same time the SG Homecoming Dinner Dance was held. First of all, the policy referred Jo in last week's Beacon by Mr. Roke was not a statement submitted by the Calendar Committee, but rather that of a representative acting outside the auspices of the Calendar Committee. Secondly, my opinion, and that of many other SG members, is that although we have th e delegated constitutional authority to regulate patries, we should not strictly do so . I feel that such regulation would be in opposition to SG's plan to promote student intere st and involvement. Instead, SG, with the aid of the entire student body. should bring to our College the type of social activities it wants. though this may necessitate an amendment to our constitution, or following precedent and not punishing clubs which have parties at the same time an SG activity is scheduled. Thus, I too feel that the aforementioned proposal would be a "STEP IN THE WRONG DIRECTION." I concede that although Mr. Roke 's suggestions are by no means "IDEAL," they are a step toward rendering to the student body a service it wants; and one which would be dedicated to its interest. This is also a service which SG would like to, and plans to, provid e. I would like to emphasize that SG Is Pleased with the interest displayed by the Bio. Club and feels that such interest will lead to what w e also want - BETTER SOCIAL AFFAIRS at Wilkes College.

Yes, the millionaires and conservative banking interests hav e again promised us lhat they will send their emissary of hate during this dreary season. Of course, I mean Santa Claus, alias Kris Kringle, alias "Saint" Nicholas. This is the same overweight entrepreneur who failed to make an appearance before the Senate Crime Commission during the Kennedy Administration . The late Robert Kennedy threatened to prosecute "the Gut" who _ even failed to send one of his elves to represent him, bul a certain high Republican dishonest person and unstable personality (see my column of November 4 but ignore later issue where I deny everything to avoid a lawsuit) took it upon himself to exert pressures on the Adminislration . That brought t·he Crime proceedings lo a quiet close. Santa Claus will again conduct a mammoth campaign to make himself popular with the common man (whom I, Drue Rearson, know is always a liberal and a Democrat). Santa is in reality the tool of Wall Street interests and the Republican radicals. He may wear red and have long hair and talk about the trips he is always laking, but this is all a ruse to candy-coat the real in'lentions of this cholesterol creep. His theme this year will undoubtedly again be a variation on law and order - · dovetailing nicely with Nixon's campaign, you will notice. To make sure that the people will "he good boys and girls," Santa us1!s informers planted among th e innocenls . He claims that he will give bribes to those who follow th e right-wing extremist program of moral behavior and obedience to the law. He will supposedly give these bribe to young quasi-Birchites by sneaking down the chimney and leaving toys for them. Once you realize that he breaks into houses to reward people, you can see that he probably also breaks into houses to punish those who don't meet with his rigid moral code. There are no appeals, and punishment is swift and terrible . Reportedly , no onP. who has seen the corpulant commando has ever lived to tell of it. One glowing report of him has come down to us in a semi-mythological poem called "The Night Before Christmas" hut even the author of this poem is now dead, a death that has been mysteriously altribuled lo "old age!"

He talks in sly racial terms like "White Christmas" and often laughs for no apparent reason. He rules as nn autocrnt and, being a reaction(Continued on page B) One of the prospective teachers who volunteered information about the experience was Mary Jezierski, an English major who taught second grade at West Nanticoke Elementary School. She slated that student teaching was "really great" and a "good preparation" for the future. Hefore she began to teach, Miss Jezierski had been "somewhat nervous," but she felt that "Head Start and remedial reading had helped to prepare me to meet and cir.al with the children." According to Miss Jezierski , "There's just one problem - the kids get really friendly, so it's hard to keep at a distance." With the children "so cute and funny," one gets very close to them and finds it "terrible to leave." Naturally, instructing small children requires a great deal of patience and ingenuity as Miss Jezierski found out - she was appointed head of the Christmas program for the entire school! Teaching advanced English and the extra-work students at Coughlin High School was Nancy Hawk. Miss Hawk reported that at first she had been "apprehensive" about teaching, but that feeling "soon faded after I established rapport and got acquainted with the students the first day. After the first two days I felt at home and that I 'had arrived'." One of the most rewarding things about teaching, Miss Hawk feels, is that the leacher's enthusiasm is contagious - the students respond to the teacher. Though at first ''some students were slightly unreceptive, their hostility gradually melted and I established 'soul contact'." By the last two weeks, these students were "volunteering and getting involved." Vic Salidas, a math major who taught at Wyoming Valley West (Kingston building), remarked that " allhough student teaching requires a lot of work, I would like to go through il again." Saliclas found his students full of energy and very responsive to him . As a suggestion for the student tt1aching program, he offered the idea that the participants know in advance who their co-operating teacher will be and to what school they will be sent. Miss Hawk agreed with !his, as she feels the sludent teacher would be able to contact the co-operating teacher ahead of time and be able to prepare and study the material, in addition to taking courses at Wilkes. A further suggestion is that the time for student teaching be lengthened. This idea came from Salidas, Mrs. Peggy Pillow, and John Turner. Mrs. Pillow !aught Problems of Democracy at Wyoming Valley West. Concerning her stay at that institution, Mrs. Pillow remarked, " I thought I mig .. t run into somu discipline problems, hut they were almost non-existent. I also thought not having a text would create a problem, and that only a newspaper would not be enough to go nn ." Bui these fears proved lo he unrounded. Mrs. Pillow noted that it was '·surprising how easy it was lo assimilate ." Thi, final prospectivt, leache1· lo be interviewed was Turner, a history major who taught American History and Political Science al Coughlin. Turner commented that he "liked" student teaching and that the one problem he thought he might have (that of having to compromise some of his thoughts and ideas with those of his co-operating teacher), did not materialize. As another teacher who experienced practically no trouble in getting into the role, Turner volunteered the information that one of his classes had asked him if his first name was John. They wanted to be sure the title of the manuscript they gave him on the last day of his classes was correct, "The Confessions of John Turncr!"

Page 3 Many-Sided 'Rock' Continues to Grow by Dudley Brown Unlike other recent years, the rock music scene of 1968 is difficult lo analyze in totality because no clear-cut pattern or major influence dominates. lnsteacl, 1968 emerges as a year of paradoxes and contradictions, with leading groups pulling in opposite directions. While some artists experimented wilh new forms, others returned to traditional, 1!l50's-style rock roots. But perhaps a more convenient way to list and discuss trends would be to simplify artists into thrce basic categories: exponents of "soft" or " quiet " rock (called "chicken rock" by enemies), contrasting with the harder, louder groups who generally favor improvisation and/or electric gimmicks. These two camps contained 1968's two biggest album sellers, Simon and Garfunkel and Cream, respectively. Somewhat to the side of these trends stands a third class, and continuing influence, soul music. (With the Beatles and Rolling Stones mostly dormant until late in the year, their pervasive influence was felt rather than heard .) In analyzing these major musical directions, I'd like to give special emphasis to a few excellent records that not enough peoplc havP. hr.ard, at thc expense of some spac11 for more familiar favorites. S&G The movement toward quiet music was spearheaded by the phenomenal popularity of Simon and Garfunkel, this year's top sellers, and one of those universal-appeal acts who appeal to adults and non-rock fan·s wilhout losing their youlhful following . 'J'lw literacy, versatility and continued improvement of this duo was capped wilh the release of "Bookends," a near-perfect set which avoids th1, ps1iudo-s ymholic mclodramatics that just occasi·o nally marred their p1·t>vious I.P's. /\s usual. wh en a rock act achieves such huge popularity, un anli-1"1,aclion has set in among critics of rock, among whom it is now thr. fashion to degrade or ignore Simon and Garfunkel, but their music wilhslands shallow and petty attacks. /\ second imprnss1vc example of this "gentler" music, one which deserves much more attenlion than it got at Wilkes or anywhere, was the Mamas and Papas' last album. Anyone who ever liked this warm, beloved foursome should have picked up this, their best record. The harmonic tapestries are richer, fuller, more intricate than ever. If you still like the Mamas and Papas, you should check out the LP's by Spanky and Our Gang and the Fifth Dimension; both outfits are considered trivial and unoriginal by thc snobbish, king-making rock critics, but their music is consistently friish and tuneful, pleasantly in the M's & P's tradition. Another outstanding exponent of gentle, lyrical music, who deserves to sell more albums, is the magical "Hurdy-Gurdy" minstrel, Donovan. His " In Concert " album, one of the highlights of the year, contains over a ·dozen of his most haunting, poetic evocations of nature and wonder. Almost as appealing is the "Hmdy-Gurdy Man" album, showing a George Harrison Indian-music influence. Country Sound Popularity of the quieter brand of rnck is probably closely related In the heralded, much-exaggerated trend Inward country music, which produced one LP which has been hailed as a rock classic by virtually t?Very critic and magazine. The enthusiasm may be slightly excessive, but " Music From Big Pink" by The Band is still a winner, and (again) not t?nough people at Wilkes know about it. Investigate this record if you like Proco! Harum or Bob Dylan; The Band's members have backed Dylan, and he contributed se veral songs and a glowing cover picture to the LP. The music is plaintive, and the vocals fuse clear, country air with the murky, bluesy-soulful Proco! Harum sound. Besides the listed pleasures, purveyors of soft music have perpetrated many offenses in 1968, as numerous bland or downright sickening pseudo-country efforts have infested the charts. The outstanding horror was, of course, "Honey," but we also had the trampy "Harper Valley PTA" and thP. mindlcss banalities of Glen Campbell. Psychedelic Cream Attempting to drown out their gentler competitors, the groups inadequately labeled as "Progressive," "Underground" or sometimes "Psychedelic" turned the volume even higher in 1968. The late, lamented Cream, biggest money-makers in this group, also were the most musically satisfying, in my view. In the rush to acclaim Cream's legendary instrumenal virtuosity, critics and listeners have tended to overlook their singing, which usually err.ates an eerie, even unearthly effect. Most famous are lhe bluesy and powerful solos on number like "Sunshine of Your Lov e" and "Spoonful," hut one feature that's even more uniquely Crcam is the high group harmony ("Dreamin'," "World of Pain," "Strange Brew"), ethereal and spooky. The so-called "Progressivc" groups arc the most unstable part of the music scene since so many of them do not last beyond one or two albums, and they are so numerous that it is hard to even remember names. Others besid es Cream who made a lasting impact throughout 1968 included, of course, Jimi Hendrix Experience, whose second album is generally regarded as a letdown but whose third restores the old excitements; Jcffcrson Airplane (same comment about their last two albums); the Doors, still controversial, with their nightmare, lizard-laden world view which repels some listeners but fascinates more ; and Vanilla Fudge, who have been widely misunderslood. Their one good LP (the first), taken seriously, would seem pompous, melodramatic and ovcrinflated . SN,n as a put-on, or parody of rock cxcr.sses, it works well. Thomas F.

The Pharmacists put up a stubborn battle before succumbing to Coach Ron Rain ey's quintet in a home game. Don D'Alonzo led the visitors in the scoring column by netting 18 markers, most on tap-ins. Wally Umbach led the locals with 14 markers while Herb Kemp contributed 12 to the winning cause. The Colonels shot a poor 27-92 from the floor (29.1 % J and therein lies the answer to the tale. "When we get almost 100 shots and can't connect on more than 27 ... well, something is definitely wrong somewhere.'' That was the bulk of Coach Rainey's post-game comment. "We couldn't hit the broad side of a barn tonight - why, we only shot 14 for 29 from the foul line. 1 hopn they got it out of their system." The Colonels traveled to Elizabetht·own the next night to engage the mighty Blue Jays on their home co urt. That night the hosts connected on 53 attempts from the floor and virtually ran away with a 121-99 victory. The Raineym.en were in th e contest at half-time, only trailing 6556. Big Bob Means, 6'11" Blue Jay center, led all scorers with 30 points. Means' 6'10" partner, Craig Rowe, contributed 14 markers, seeing limited action due to a broken nose. The Jays placed six men in double figures in amassing the 121 points. E-town coach Bob Garrett commented after the game, "We really put our game together tonight. After our first two losses to Dickinson and Albright I was a bit skeptical, but J guess tonight proves we can win the big ones. Wilkes played a real good game_ nobody can take that away from them. We were ready for them and I think we could have beaten almost anybody tonight. It's really a shame when you score 99 points and still lose.''

December,20, 1968 Nch ARMER . Th e six-man official tea m that s e rved in the Los Angeles RamsChica go Bears game two weeks ago made a mistake. They "stol e" a do wn from th e Rams during the final minutes of their crucial 17-16 loss to the upstart Bears . What act-ion did the commissioner of football take? Why, he punished the officials because it was their responsibility to kee1~ p_roper track of the downs. How? He publicly ridicu'led them and d1sc1p hned them by publicly announcing fheir suspensio n. Rozelle later a nnounced that non e of the six would be assigned to any more ga m es this season. I feel such action was too harsh and far too strong for what had occurred on the playing field. I also feel Rozelle ruined his ·'perfect image" and possibly je opardized officials in all sports. Sports officials are a group of the most dedicated men associated with sports and have gotten less than any other group connected with it. Whv didn't Rozelle stand behind his men? .. He could have admitted a mistake had been mad e. After a ll, these six m en arc human be ings - " to err is human, to forgiv e , is divine. " Obviously, Roz e lle chose not to forgive th ese m e n. He could have talked to Chuck Lengle the officials in private and really tak e n a bite out of their skin - lit erally, if necessary. Why did he choose to pubHcly humiliate them, to mark them forever in the eyes of the public as th e men "who deprived the Rams of a chance to tie the Colts in 1968. " This wasn 't the first lime this season a crew of offic ials had cheated a team out of a down or five yards - all done unintentionally. Wh ere was Rozelle when the Packers defeated the Colts ·a few years ago when the officials MISTAKENLY ADJUDGED A FIELD GOAL ATTEMPT _9001:J w~en subsequent films showed it did not split the uprights ? In ,hat s1tuat1on Rozelle conveniently saw fit to ignore it. As commissioner, Rozelle is supposed to represent 26 football tea ms. After this latest fiasco , I reall y have my doubts if he is actually performhis rightful duties . · How did Rozell e act when th e Rams hired George Allen, their present coach, away from th e Chicago Bears? He did not-hing - George Halas too k the matter to the courts and proved his legal rights. Why didn't Mr. Rozelle fin e the Rams for inte rfering with Halas' property? Wh y? Could it be that since Mr. Rozelle was once employed by th e Los Angeles Rams, he felt ·s ome loyalty to the organization? . Mr. Rozell e is also an ex-employee of the Dallas Cowboys organization. Mr. Rozelle also permitted tackle Ralph Neely (Oklahoma) to join th_e Cowboys after a court ruled he was the property of the Hou ston Oilers. In fact, Neely's signature on a legal contract was offered in ev idence to the NFL boss. Pe rsonally, I am making no allegations whatsoever. I am not making myself liabl e for a law suit, BUT the fact of the ma'tt e r still remains. . The 'i rony of the whole matter was sealed on Sunday when the Baltimore Colts defeated the Rams in their head-to-head encounter, 28-24. How can Mr. Rozelle change that to favor the Rams? * * * If the Middle Atlantic Conference follows the example of th e Easte rn College Athletic Conference, freshmen will again don varsity uniforms for Wi'lkes College athletic teams in 1969. During ECAC's recent convention, the minimum male undergraduate enrollment for freshman competition was raised from 1,000 to 1,250. The officials of the MAC meet in June, 1969 and if the officials adopt similar legislation, all systems will be set for go in '69 for the yearling Colonels. Of course, if the officials choose to disregard the ECAC action, they will only be sealing their own graves. Thee MAC is an extremely large c onfederation with many weak members - such a move would only make the two divisions that much weaker. Only time will tell. * * * · 'A'.ilkes College joined mighty Penn State in dominatin g the 1968 A~s~ciated Press_ All-State Football Team adding luster to the alread y bnlhant accomplishments of this year's mighty grid squad .

These are th e tea ms that hav e bee n lucky a nd talented enough to be invited to bowl games. Here are th e Beacon s e lections for seve n of th e more important bowls: ROSE BOWL: Ohio State vs. Southern California Ohio State's overall strength and balance should prove to be more than enough in this battle for the national championship. All-America n tack les Rufus Mayes and Dave Foley lead a strong Buckeye line which played an important role in OSU's 33 points per game average. Ohio State's defense also proved it self when it blanked Purdue and Leroy Keyes ea rlier in th e season. 13-0. Phenomenal 0. J. Simpson and quarterback Steve Sogge plus a heavily-biased crowd will d efinit e ly make the game close. Predicted score: Ohio State 24, Southern California 17 ORANGE BOWL: Kansas vs. Penn State All-Americans T ed Kwalick and Den nis Onkotz should lead the Lions to a convincing victory over th e hi gh-scoring Ja yhawk machin e. BobDouglass, KU 's left-hand ed quarterback, is an excell ent passer and scrambler- if State's defensive line can not force him to remain in the pocket, he might give it a long afternoon. Partiality probably plays the important role in this one, but I cannot see it an y other wa y. Predicted score: Penn State 35, Kansas 21 SUGAR BOWL: Georgia vs. Arkansas This game will match the highl ypotent offensive attack of the Razorbacks and the outstanding d e fensive team of the Georgia Bulldogs , led by A ll-American defensive end Bill Stanfill. Georgia yie lded only 9.8 points per game to its opponents, but the Backs should be able to cross th e goa l lin e often . Predicted score: Georgia 28, Arkansas 21 COTTON BOWL: Tennessee vs. Texas This game should be th e "gam e of the day" and th e outcom e will definit e ly be close. Defe ns e might be the determining factor as both teams boast scoring machines . Tennesse e , the pride of the SEC, has yielded 11 points per game while Texas has he ld its opponents to 16 per game. One of the all-time leading groundgainers ever to play in the Southwest, Chris Gilbert , and a highly-partisan T exas crowd should give them the definite edge. Predicted score: Texas 21, Ten• nessee 20 GATOR BOWL: Missouri vs. Alabama Both or these teams have absorbed defeats at the hands of bowl-bound teams. Missouri fell to Oklahoma, 28-14, and Kansas, 21-19. Alabama lost to Te nnessee, 10-9, and Mississippi, 10-8. Again, th e de fense should determine the outcome. Predicted score: Alabama 17, Missouri 14 Basketball (Continued from page 4) manding 28-6 lead by the 11-minute mark in the initial half of action . The famous Wilkes floor game, dire cted by Bo Ryan, Jay Reimel, and Wally Umbach, forced th eir hosts int·o numerous mistakes which was th e big differenc e in the early part of th e gam e. The Colonels will e ngage two MAC opponents in games this weeke nd . Th e Susquehanna University Crusaders invad e Wilkes-Barre Frida y evening and then Saturday night , arch-rival Scranton Uni versi ty will provide the opposition. Dick Cook by Stan Pearlman (The following article is the first in a series which will be devoted to the purpose of making the stu· dent body aware of post-graduate accomplishments and vocations of former outstanding Wilkes athletes.) Last year Dick Cook was a student - this year he has assumed the role of the teacher. The form er Colonel mat standout is teaching social studies in the eleventh and twelfth grades at Dayton Region a l High School in Springfield. New Jersey. Dick also handles the head coaching duties of the wrestling team. His biggest adjustment problem has bee n " the extremely poor shape of the high school grapplers." According to Cook, "I'm in bette r shape than most of these kids and it's hard to convince them that conditioning is so important." Dick graduated in June. 1968 with a BA degree in the Social Sciences. While irt Wilkes he was a memb e r of th e Lettermen's Club and th e varsity wrestling team . He served as co-captain during his senior year and is the holder of many Colon e l mat records. Last year Dick won the Middle Atlantic Conference championship in the 167-pound category and was later honor ed as th e tourne y's most valuable wre stler. Dick and his wife, th e former Patricia Sickler, are now residing in Elizabeth, New Je rse y. Mrs. Cook is con tinuin g her ed ucation whil e Dick ent er t·ains plans of obt aini ng his master's in th e near futur e. Dick's long-ra n ge goa ls ca ll for a career as a co lle giate wrestling ment or. �Page 6 THE BEACON Many-Sided 'Rock' 'Who's Who' (Continued from page 3) (Continued from page 3) Finally, I would like to comment on two of 1968's best albums that (again) not enough people at Wilkes know about. Like the Band's "Big Pink,' ' the first album by Blood, Sweat and Tears is regard ed as one of the year's peaks; I have yet to hear or read anything against ii. A little soul, a thrilling big-band brass sound, some lovely melodies, and tasteful jazz-flavored solos are a few features of this highly recommend ed work. The ex-leader of B,S,&T, organist Al Kooper , participates in the other LP, "Super Session," with ace rock guitarist Mike Bloomfield and Steve Stills. This landmark get-together can serve multiple purposes. again sometimes veering toward soul, occasionally to country-Dylan, and frequently to low-pressure, "after-hours" jazz improvisation. Both alb ums display an unusual amount of variety. Soul Music Our third major category , soul music, was supposed to be the big thing in 1968, but it had a pretty rough year. Many buyers pre ferred white blues as punched out by Cream or Joplin, the soul-psychedelic dynamite of Hendrix and the exciting Chambers Brothers, or even the simpler (sometimes scorned), but really pleasing contributions of the Rascals. Until November, in fact, there were fewer soul records on the charts than at any time since 1964. but the last six weeks have seen a sudden rash of soul hits. Aretha Franklin, of course, continued lo turn out million sellers (seven to date), but many people feel her style is starting to stagnate and needs expansion. Otherwise, there were only a few scattered hits by the late Otis Redding, Percy Sledge, Arthur Conley, Sam and Dave, Archie Bell, and the usual James Brown, in the soul department. Another favorite, Dionne Warwick, has moved toward a more sophisticated , night-club image. Motown I did not expect to say anything about my old friend Motown in this article because the Detroit empire had a really terrible year, but the last few weeks have suddenly changed all that. Most evervone in the music business thought the sun had set on Motown this yea·r. The company was plagued on all sides by a series of flop record by its major s tars (only one big hit: "I Wish 1t Would Rain") , by lawsuits and dissension among writers and singers. and by attacks in the narrow-minded underground press. Just when it appeared down for th e count, Motown suddenly delivered five knockout punches which soared to the top of the charts and started a new image for the Company. Moving away from its stereotyped arrangements and lyrics, it released what has been called the first progressive soul single (Temptations , "Cloud Nine"). Other sparkling innovations brought gold records to the latest Supremes, Marvin Gaye, and Stevie \,Vonder records, as well as the overwhelming SupremesTemptations duet. . .Moreover, the great "TCB" television special canied the message to millions who had not seen the Supremes or Temptations in person. Starting 1969 on a new and unexpectedly high plateau, Motown now needs only to revitalize the sagging sales of Four Tops, Smokey Robinson and Martha and the Vandellas in order to take care of business for a few more years. Predictions So that is 1968, by any standard a surprising and rewarding music year. Now, what about 1969? I'll close with a few predictions and wishes for the new year. I think the return to basic rock roots (exemplified in the new Beatles and Stones albums) will continue, but I hope the trend to country music runs out of steam. As usual , Bob Dylan is about ready to surprise us again and instigate the next big trend, and Janis Joplin will continue as a super-star with her new group. The following stars seem to be losing some of their audience and will decline unless they come up with something different: Doors, Vanilla Fudge, Aretha Frankli,1. It also looks like there is a growing movement toward more white blues b~, the likes of Steppenwolf and Canned Heat. · Finally, I hope that we get less of my least favorite trend of 1968 the purely teenie-bopper stuff, now known as "Bubble Gum " music. Having successfully killed off the Monkees, we suddenly found ourselves surrounded by the likes of "Simon Says," "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, " ''Chewy, Chewy," and the Archies - products which represent the most serious threat to rock as a respectable art. plans to teach on the secondan· level and to work toward his Mas·ter·s degree in history.

They \,·ill also be looking for the items that failed so they won't make the sam t' mistake twice. All retailers seem to agree that the items they made the most mon e,· on were fake mink and fur-trimmed coats. This is the opinion of retailers from all over the United States. Fun furs appeal to wom en o!' a! I incomes and ages, and retailers, realizing this, played it to their ad,·an• tage. More than likely, fashion experts will try to keep this going for a while, since it is a money-making fashion. Since this is the Christmas season, many stores take special not e ol what is selling. For instance, at Bloomingdale's, long coats arc sellin g fast, especially in the junior department. In Cleveland, the sportsw ear department seems to be the leading seller of the store. White blouses. a basic item for any girl's wardrobe, are selling particularly well. Sweat er vests, an old-time favorite, are also among the best sellers. In Chicago, family apparel is doing well, along with coals, dress es . and suits. Other stores report that leather gloves are a choice for man~· gifts. Small leather gift items, such as matching wallets, change purs es. lighters, and cigarrette cases, are taking a fast turn-over. In Cleveland. retailers announce that juniors are good spenders when it comes dress r fashions. They are going wild for velvets in any style. The colors th at are being purchased most frequently are black, red, and green. Milwaukee reports that coats are the season's best sellers. Leath er . suede, and pile coat·s are favorites, but special sellers are coats \\"ii h fur trim at the collar and cuffs. Also, fitted and belted coats are favorites this season. In 1968, skirts and dresses became even shorter than last year an d the fitted shirt became popular again. Scarves were good items sin ce they came into many uses this year. Turtlenecks were particularly fa st sellers since they are always in good taste. However, fads like the Nehru jacket were popular for a while, but they are now fading into a pas t fad. What do retailers think the big news is for 1969? One word se ems to describe this - unisex . For instance, a unisex boutique is going to open in Dallas at the beginning of January, and it will carry fashion s with the unisex idea in mind. Pants will be the main item stores ,,·i ll be trying to push ; pants will be made so that both sexes can wear th em. Pants are being used for the holidays with tunics and sweaters as top s for the pants. They are going to be a big idea for spring with coti-on being the main fabric used, and they'll come in all prints and colors. It seems that '69 should prove lo be an interesting year for m en an d aod women of all ages. Whatever the fashions or fads are going to be. the coed can be sure sh e will be involved in the latest.

It is to be stressed that this is sponsored as a service project by the Lettermen club . Detailed planning must go into such an eve nt in order lo prov id e th e greatest possible enjo yment for thos e in attendance. In charge of th e over-all organization of the formal this year was Angelo Loverro, and a dedicated committee worked under him to co-ordinate all aspec ts of the affair. Bruce Comstock handl ed all the arra ngements for invitations, tickets and their sale were under th e direction of Joe Wiendl , and Mike Babuschak, Jim Loveland, and Carl Policy Committee Report Reviews Survey On Hazing The Policy Committee of the Inter Dormitory Council has been discussing freshman hazing since the first meeting at the beginning of this semester. The committee's findings and recommenda tions were announced this week by George Harrison, JDC treasurer and committee chairman. Questionnaires had been distributed to dorm students concerning . hazing and the committee's report followed the responses to this survey. The report, evaluating the opinions expressed by approximately 325 returned sheets, generally promotes the opinion that hazing should be run similar to fraternity initiations, but in the dorms. The committee's final recommendation concerning hazing is that it be eliminated from non-dormitory activities because of the large scale non-participation by day students. This would leave hazing entirely in the hands of each individual dorm. Combating Abuses To safeguard against abuses of hazing the committee suggests a judicial committee to be set up in order to hear grievances from both the frosh and upperclassmen. If a dormitory is accused of illegal practices during hazing, the president of the dorm or an appropriate officer will go to 'the judicial committee. If found guilty the maximum punishment suggested by the report would include removal of all moneymaking activities from the dorm, termination of voting privileges in JDC for that year, and no hazing to be allowed in that dorm. Hazing violations would be anything that goes against the four proposals which drew favorable response in the survey. These include mandatory study hours for freshmen, hazing between the hours of 10-12 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, one activity night in each dorm in which there would be no hazing, and all hazin g would end at a tribunal. Also nothing which goes against anyone 's moral conscience, or ca us es physical abuse, w ill be tol e rated. Advantages and Disadvantages Students filling out the survey were requested to outline what they considered to be the reasons for hazing and the disadvantages of it. Those who favored hazing cited such reasons as it helps bring the freshmen together, it provides a period of transition from high school to college life, and it provides a good way to meet people. Others felt that it gives a freshman a feeling of belonging to dorms, class, or the College. Still others feel that an abolition of hazing means a loss of a cherished tradition. There were those who felt that the disadvantages of hazing were more overwhelming. Some felt that penalties were overdone, or that physcial abuses were too prevalent. Poor organization and co-ordination upset some students. Others mentioned that no day students take part in hazing activties, so they felt it was unfair. Interference from residence directors and the Administration plagued many students. The concensus of opinion was that hazing can be effective and that it is important to make freshman become part of the College. Individual dormitories are urged to discuss the hazing report and on Monday the proposals suggested will be voted upon by JDC and then sent to SG. VOL.

Frida y, Dece mber 13 , 1968 SC Approves Budget Requests With Council's Reservations At a recent meeting, Student Government focused most of its attention on the budget recently announced. Ben Lodeski, treasurer of Student Government announced that the budget request had been approved, with a few reservations, by the Administrative Council. Some of the recommendations made by the Council included an investigation of the Amnicola's budget needs. It was suggested that SG examine its Student Activities and Special Projects accounts in order to determine if any funds can be transferred to th e Amnicola. If these funds cannot be obtained , th en SG will submit budget requ ests to the Administrative Council for possible increases. In the future, organizations must present a list of the previous year's ex penses in addition to their budget requests to both SG and the Council. The SG treasurer will be responsible for checking the budget of each group every month. Each student organization will be expected to submit their pro.posed budget for the following year by the end of March . To wrap up the budget discussion , Bill Kaye made a motion that the 1968-69 SG budget requested by the budget com- mittee be accepted by SG with the Administrative Council's reservations. The motion was carried unanimously. Activities Fee Further work has been done on the idea of an activities fee which was suggested earlier this semester.

These will be displayed in the SG with Mr. Hoover concerning the possibility of presenting the idea at a student body assembly. Hoo ve r suggested that more Campus groups be contacted concerning the idea and that SG do a thorough job investigating the proposition to avoid rushing the final decision. Concert Plans Ina George reported furth er developments concerning the proposed concert. Suggestions were made at a meeting of interested students. The majority felt that Spring Weekend or Freshman Weekend would be the best possible dates to sponsor such an event. Choices for a group included Sergio Mendez, the Vanilla Fudge, and the Association. The manager of the El Caminos volunteered to handle the arrangements if SG wishes. A discussion concerning costs followed . It was decided that the committee should look for a way to subsidize the concert w h i c h would exclude SG, so that profits and losses entailed would not involve the governing body. Protest Policy Discussed By Deans, JDC, Student Life Committee A report was given to JDC mem-bers concerning protest policy to be used should an occasion arise when such a policy will be needed. The policy rose from a discussion of the topic between the Student Life Committee, Dr. Farley, and the Deans. The policy would be invoked in situations where actions took place infringing on the rights of others . The procedures in such a case would consist of the Student Life Committee obtaining all the pertinent information so that the full story would be known. The committee would then hold a hearing within 48 hours, so that all the informa tion would be fresh and easily traced. A r eview of the protest or demonstration would follow, and the committee would make the recommendation for final action. The committee would act upon this toge ther with the Deans so that it would give students a say in verdicts concerning protest. It was suggested that an evaluation of the Student Life Committee be undertaken to determine the scope of its duties and responsibilities. One suggestion was the possibility of a constitution being written for this committee, which is r elatively n ew on Campus. The Student Life Committee can serve as a direct liaison between students and Administration and can prove to b e an effective instrument by which studen ts can have a stronger voice in the College. The Christmas dinn er is to be h eld in the new cafeteria this Sun- day. All students are urg ed to dress up for this festive occasion . Th e times each dormitory are to attend should have been received during this week. The JDC Christmas Party, h eld annually for th e student body, will be on Wednesday , December 18 in th e Studen t Union rooms beneath th e New Men·s Dorm. There will be a buffet of refr eshments served at this event. Interdormitory Telephones The results of the poll taken on the dress code for Sundays were dis cus sed. It was reported that approximately 600 students voted and there was a four to one margin in favor of abolishing the Sunday dress code. However, the Administratio n must now act upon this proposal, so students are required to follow the dress code as it now exists. A question was raised concerning the possibility of having interdormitory telephones installed. Members of JDC were informed that other campuses have such a system whereby dorm students can call othe r dorms without charge by dialing an ex tension number. Various problems pertaining to th is propo sal we re brought up. It was mention ed that a switchboard w ould have to be open all night to make this a reality. No one was certa in of the actual expense that would be involved in the installation of such a system. Library hours were discussed again and a random questionnaire was distributed by SG representative Ina George. This ques'tionnaire concerned extend ed hours on weekends. Students were also asked to indicate whether they would consent to be trained as student library aides because additional help will be needed if hours are to be extended . Finally, JDC members were queried as to whether telephone duty was ever discussed at an JDC meeting. This was referred to in a letter to th e editor published in the Beacon. Members agreed that this topic has never been discussed and that the interested student had made a mistake. Telephone duty was discussed at a Dean's meeting with dorm students and the question of how it should be handled was left up to the dis cretion of each dormitory. �Page 2 THE EDITORIAL BEACON Friday, December 13, 1968 Jette/4J tc t,e ~t/itc/4 Finals Exa1nined Bio.

Additional courses are required to teach on the elementary level; these include Education 209 and Mathematics 101 and 102. Prospective student teachers must maintain a 1.85 overall cumulative average, and a cumulative average of 2.0 in their major subject. It is also necessary that such students have completed a majority of courses in the field in which they plan to s tud ent teach, and have fulfilled at least one-half of the modern language requirement. Another requirement is somewhat intangible, but Mr. West feels that the prospective student teachers must have a genuine interest in yo ung people and in teaching. DR. ROSENBERG ACTIVE IN LABOR An overt severity combined with a sort of compassion and a lilting Bostonian accent are some of the characteristics evident in Dr. Samuel Rosenberg.

He later received his PhD. from the University of North Carolina and is now the head of the ·, ~ ~ MISERI SEMINAR "Racism," an ever-present problem in the United States, is the topic of discussion in a series of open lectures at College Misericordia. The first session was November 25; the next meetings will be Tuesday, December 17, Monday, January 6 and Monday, January 27. From 7-10 p.m., the three hour discussions will take place in Merrick Hall. All area college professors and students are invited to attend . Set up in an informal type seminar, with a lecture follower! hy a general discussion, three loca l teachers will speak on such topics as housing and non-violence in the Negro society. The three major lecturers are John Bush and Raymond O'Conner, members of the socio logy departments at Misericordia and Wilkes respectively, and Edward Curtain, a theology instruclor at Misericordia. In past considerations, such subjects as the mother being the breadwi nn er and the husband being reduced to a stud, violence in the cities, and the lack of strong family tics have been pursued. According to student coordinator Pat Hosey, the idea of such a program came from John Hopkins University, Washington, D.C., where a similar six week course was run. "The w hole purpose of these seminars is to help students understand racism: they can do this by the theories and suggestions which are brought out during the discussions, and thus will better comprehend this dire problem," stated Miss Hosey. Films and guest speakers are planned for future talks; the course will be continued next s emester on the same thre e-hour, one-night-aweek basis. The student coordinator further commented that "as attendance and interest increases, and upon the suggestions of those who attend, similar open seminars will be added with varied topics ." i□□□□□□□□□□ rJr.J □□□□□□□□□□□□ao □□□□□□□□□□□o□□□□□□o □DC Shop at ...

Off fantastic individual performances, five Wilkes seniors were chosen to the mythical Little AllAmerican team as selected by the AP. Those aptly honored were: Bill Layden, defensive line; Joe Wiendl, defensive back ; Bruce Comstock, offensive tackle, Joe Zakowski, quarterback; and split-end Joe Skvarla. All five enjoyed fine seasons although Zakowski and Layden did suffer injuries throughout the campaign. Wiendl and Skvarla were also lauded by the Eastern College Athletic Conference when they were named to the ECAC's Division III All-East team.

Umbach ripped the nets for 27 counters, many on the " patented jumper" from 15-20 feet out while Kemp hit for 17 points . The matmen of Coach John Reese opened their 1968-69 campaign on a successful note last Saturday afternoon when they swept e ight individual championships and walked away with their first quad ra ngular victory.

It marked the first time in a long period that Lhe en tire sum req ues ted by the budget Dean Ralston is shown above leading the singing at a previous Christmas Formal.

This a ffair is sponsored annuall y b y the Lette rm en's Club, for the entertainment of the entire student body. The Club is emphasizing that this is an open affair, which the Lettermen sponsor as a service project. 2nd Career-In Scheduled For December 26-21 The Industrial Relations Association of Bergen Count y, New Jers ey, has announced its second annual " Career-In" to b e held December 26 and 27 at the Marriott Motor Hotel at the intersection of Route 80 and the Garden State Parkway. The idea behind the "Career-In" is to bring together college seniors and graduates and corporate recruitors under one roof. This year, over 90 national companies will be on hand to interview an anticipated 2,000 college seniors and graduates home for Christmas vacation. Last year 56 major companies participated, interviewing more than 1,400 interested young men and women. Records of the Industrial Relations Association indicate that in 1967 the average student participated in as many as ten corporate interviews. One ambitious student managed 27, which made him high man for the year. Officials of the IRA further stated that they are earnestly seeking the aid of College Placement Personnel in this effort, since the "Career-In" offers an additional outlet to oncampus recruitment activities in the placement of college seniors and graduates. The tickets are $3.50, w hich includes a ful) meal. Music will be provided by James De Luca and his orchestra. Angelo Loverro is the chairman of the formal, Bruce Comstock is in charge of invitations, and Joe Wiendl is handling the ticket arrangements. In charge of publicity a re Lettermen Mike Babuschak, Jim Loveland, and Carl Cook; Jerry Moser and Les Loveland have been planning the decorations for the event. Jo e Frappoli is president of the club while Dan MalJoy serves as vice-president. Students are being offered a special rate of $7 for formal wear at Baum's Tux Rental on Northampton Street. Men will not be required to buy flowers for their dates beca us e they will be provided as favors. The faculty is invited b y the Lettermen to attend free of charge. The affair will last from 7:30 to 1 a.m.; tickets can be obtained from any Letterman or from Millie Gittens at the Bookstore. Angelo Loverro stressed that this is an open affair. He urges m en to a ttend for "they can attend for the price of $10.50, the cost of the ticket and tux rental.

Accompanying this textbook turnover is a bill of $50-75 more dollars to be spent on second semester's books, while this term's texts, no longer needed, are permanently banished to shelves to collect dust. Gold Maehine Dear Edit or: Once upon a crisp fall afternoon in 1823, at Rugby, England , during an interclass game, a young player became so thwarted by his inability to kick the oval ball that he scooped it up from the ground and ran with it. This sprint-born-ofself-dissatisfaction was the ancestor of American football. Previous attempts to buy unwanted books from students have been only partially successful. Index cards on Campus bulletin boards are basically ineffective and leave a lot to be desired. The Bookstore is unable to buy back used texts for resale due to lack of space and the increasing tendency of fac- Though in that day and age the action was considered illegal, no ulty to change books for each course every year. one could fail to recognize, in any For over a year, once a semester, Follett has been on Campus in the Bookstore to purchase students' unwanted books. However, the effects of depreciation were more than obvious as students were given only a couple of dollars for hardbacks which had originally cost four or five times that amount. age at all, the singleness of purpose that was required to perform it. Some decades later, the "illegality" had not only been translated into autumn weekends shared by thousands who gathered to watch and shout encouragement, but had also begun to develop a new athletic category whose members would easily qualify as America's most valiant sportsmen. Despite their retail value, paperbacks were worth only ten or twenty cents and it seemed as though only a privileged few books were given a fair trade-in value. These were mainly late published, hardback, science books in excellent condition. We are just 12 months short of observing the centennial of AmerThat does an English major a lot of good. Undoubtedly, many students would have liked to have gotten in on Follett's book bargains, for while last year's History 101 book is relatively useless to a science major who took it as a required survey course, a history major would probably jump at a chance to get a copy of the book at a fraction of its published price. Something should be done to make this- possible. We feel that a student-operated book exchange at Wilkes, enabling students to sell or trade books to each other, thereby keeping the money and knowledge at home, is feasible if (and this is the main problem to be solved) students are interested enough to work. Campus Woman by Kathy Kopetchne Perfumes have been used by women for thousands of years and probably always will be. Perfume jars have been found in the tombs of ancient Egypt, and in the days of Columbus the ships that brought spices from the East also brought perfume. But the world of fragrance is not confined to women alone. Men have been using some type of perfumery for a long time, but until recently the market was limited in men's toiletries. Just a few years ago, men's toiletries were bought almost exclusively by women as gifts. Now a wide variety of fragrances is offered to the male with advertisements on television and in magazines to help him select his fragrance. For men, spray cologne and cologne concentrates are a favorite . They are easy to apply, can' t evaporate, and are practical for travel. Of course, there is always the after-shave lotion. These lotions have a bracing scent and can be used as an astringent to close the pores and give a · refreshing sensation to the skin. Also there are after-shave balms to lubricate the skin and after-shave foams to soothe. The male also has his choice of an after-shave refresher or spray-on talcum. For the woman, there has always been a variety for her from which to choose. Fragrance is available in many forms such as bath gels, sprayon bath powders, perfumed bath oil, and friction lotions. Spray colognes and perfumes are popular and are a fast, efficient way to surround herself with a mist of fragrance. Purse-size perfume sprays are convenient because they take up almost no room in a pocketbook. How perfume is used is a personal matter. It is up to the wearer to decide if she wants one "signature" scent or to have several favorites which she can switch to suit her moods. As for arrangements, all that need be done is reserve the auditorium, solicit books, asking the student how much he wants to sell or barter them for, and then display the literature, perhaps charging a small commission for each transaction. Details can be worked out by the sponsoring club. IN MEMORIAM The BEACON staff would like to offer its condolences to the family and friends of Howard Moreida on his untimely death.

" A classic Russian film , " Lady " most e ff ectively showed the difference in acting techniques between American actors and their Russian counterparts. The actors were unknown, for their nam es appeared only in Russian in the opening credits, but their mastery of the acting art was eddent throughout. Most likely the actors were trained at the Moscow Art Theatre, perhaps by the great Sta nislavski himself, for their facial ex pressions and body movements were uniquely Stanislavskian. "The Lady and the Dog" brought to the screen the beautiful, bittersweet tal e of an affair that was doomed, an affair that should nev er have begun, for it left the involved in the deepest of despair that only an affair can bring. Reminisce nt of "Dr. Zhivago" with its Russian winter and sleighbells, "The Lady and the Dog" provided a true foreign film experience. An unhappy ending finished the film and the affair, proving that films can end with the lovers parted, that e\·eryone does not have to leave his spouse for another, and that true love does not really conquer all. Manuscript can be proud of the film in its recent parade of fine viewin~. However, the turnout on Mo nda y was bleakly disappointing, for the crowds at both showings totaled only one hundred fifty . Editor Anne Aimetti said that she and the entire membership of the Manuscript Society hope that the crowds that filled the last few Manuscript film showings will reappear for the next film .

Double Your Pleasure Witl,NewBeatlesAlbum by Dudley Brown For the past two weeks, a couple of million Americans have been making upwards of two dozen new friends, as they've become acquainted with the extremely warm and affectionate music in the generous two-record album, "The Beatles." While not as uniformly perfect as "Rubber Soul," "Revolver," "Sgt. Pepper," or even "Mystery Tour," the album contains at least three sides of fine songs, and has already become a part of musical history, partly because it is, in itself, a miniature history of recent pop music. Following instead of leading this time, the Beatles have latched on to and summarized one of 1968's main movements, partly triggered by Bob Dylan's trend-setting "John Wesley Harding." Eschewing most electronic or psychedelic gimmicks, the group returns to basic, simple, oldfashioned rock and roll music, most of which can be performed "live." A third of the songs , in fact, are benign imitations and gentle parodies of the great stars who developed rock music, making possible the Beatles and everyone since. From the first note on side 1, you know you're back in 1955, for "Back in the U.S.S.R." invokes the raucous, percussive voice and guitar of Chuck Berry. fit's no coincidence that one of Berry's hits was called "Back in the U.S.A.") This song segues smoothly into a sunny Beach Boys surf sound. The roots of rock are further explored in such numbers as "Birthday" (with touches of Roy Orbison , Buddy Holly, and Jerry Lee Lewis), " Don't Pass Me By" (Everly Bros.), in the slowed-down "Revolution," with its 50's "do-wop" mumblings , and in "Everybody's Got Something to Hide," recalling the Major Lance-Smokey Robinson "Monkey" hits. The Beatles also summarize their own recent career in the relatively boring "Glass Onion. " Three selections are strange combina tions of past and present. "Happiness is a Warm Gun," a harsh, psychedelic satire, ends with more of those 1950's " oldies but goodies" group sounds. "Helter-Skelter" begins with Presley-type freneticism and concludes with a "Destruction" Act a la Jimi Hendrix. And " Yer Blues " is even more startling in its Presley derivation [the lonel y shouts sound just like " Heartbreak Hote l"). while managin g to quote Bob Dylan . Besides thanking the he roes of early rock, The Beatles cover other n111sical hases as we ll. This album contains far le ss of the BarooueClassical arrangements which graced " Yesterday," " In My Life ," " Eleanor Rigby," etc., yet these influences are still evident on "Martha My Dear" and, incongruously, on "Piggies." Country music gets its innings on the delightful , pseudo-saloon ballad . " Rockv Raccoon," and on "Don' t Pass Me By," while " Hone y Pie" is the Beatles' comment on the corny, 1920's megaphone-music revived in " Winchester Cathedral." In a recent " Rollin g Stone " inte rview, John Lennon comments that the Beatles have been influenced by nearly everything that 's gone on in music. So it seems that they 've chosen this album in which to catalogue and pay tribute to almost everyone who inspired them, or who paved th e way. The words of these songs re-confirm one theory I've alwavs had about the Beatles: we should not take them too seriously ; most of their lv rics are tongue-in-cheek or deliberately silly. Humor is a cornerstone of the Beatles ' world view, and critics who don't realize that "there's nothin g to ~et hung about" betray their own pomposity and pretension. On a ll but a few of these songs, then, the Beatles' words either satirize old rock cliches, especially in the primitive directness of "Why Don ' t We Do It in the Road ," or defy seriousness by suddenly unde r~uttin g the storv line with silliness. For instance, the powerful and pretty tunes of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Don't Pass Me By " HEARD FROM THE HERD SUSQUEHANNA Susquehanna University is about to place a student, with voting rights, on the University's board of directors . The Crusader, newspaper of Susquehanna, gave its support to Richard Nixon . The idea of an " honor dorm" at Susquehanna is somewhat different from here at Wilkes. In these dorms, which are open to all seniors, girls cook their own food , establish their own rules and keep their own hours. * * * TEMPLE Temple University spo nsored a three-hour " teach-in " on draft history and problems. ELIZABETHTOWN Elizabethtown College is considering establishing a coffee house, open at night for students. Some people at Elizabethtown are disturbed because unlimited cuts are not allowed . ST. ELIZABETH AND MOUNT ST. SCHOLASTICA The College of Saint Elizabeth and Mount St. Scholastica College for Women, two small Catholic women's schools, have entirely eliminated their dres s codes. Their women now have complete freedom of choice concerning their dress. are laced with occasional nonsense . The silly symlolism of " Piggies " is ironically juxtaposed with the pompous arrangement. Since most of these songs were written in India, they reflect the Beatles' concern with peace ; "Bungalo Bill " and the much-discussed "Revolution" knock violence. And, through their generally humorou s (sometime child-like) approach, the Beatles seem to tell people to forget their hang-ups, and "Don't mak e it bad ... Take a sad song and mak e it better." This light-hearted apprt,ach is epitomized by th e little ep ic, "ObLa-Di, Ob-La-Da," a bit of idyllic nonsense which has some of the happiest words and music ever written. This irresistible opus, to me, shows us perfectly what the Beatles feel in 1968: in a world of " Piggies" and " Revolutions," life still "goes on" and is a ball. Only a few of the 30 cuts allow for any kind of seriousness. and thes e, as usual, are the warm and fragile ballads. On "Mother Nature 's Son," "Julia" (supposedly dedicated to Paul's mother) , "Blackbirds," .; I Will ," and (perhaps) " Dear Prudence, " the foursome presents a gentle, trance-like, sometimes be atific mood of pure love and innocence, lacking the usual irony or nonse ns e. It see ms to me that a few of these tunes are dull (" Glass Onion, " " Savoy Truffle," " Cry Baby Cry"), or downright unpleasant (" Happiness 1~ A Warm Gun") . But th e album 's biggest flaw occurs near the end, in "Revolution #9." I've never believed in non-music on a rock album and most listeners will probably not play this eight-minute waste after on e hearing. Like the old people's voices on Simon and Garfunkel's brillian t "Bookends, " this item is superfluous, its ant i-vio le nc e point alread~, made, forcefully, in the music. It's especially anno ying when you think th at this spare could hav e been used for "Hey Jude." The jarring effect of this noise is juxtaposed alongside the se re ne mood of the album 's close r, " Good Night," a lullaby so soothing, so lvrica l that we must realize that it is its own satire on sentimental. ~asy-listening " slush" music. It's probably meant as an ironic comment, inviting peace when the previous track suggested that peace is impossib le. But since we all skip " Revolution #9" anyway, it comes merely as the Beatles' final reassurance to us that their world vision is among the most benign ones on the sce ne. For most of you, it should be the final incentive (if one's still needed) to forget the other two albums you intended to buy, and get this, instead.

Cause for alarm? Maybe. I want to remind all doubters that the Colonels of 1969 will not be patsies - they will not concede the Northern Division crown of the Middle Atlantic Conference and they will not be victims of any onslaught. Returning lettermen should numb er 40 and that's enough to make any college coach drool. From a personal vie w, Jet's take a look at my Colonel line-up for next year. I must admit that I took advantage of the versatility regulation which states, "A good foot ball playe r may be moved from one position to another." On the offensive eleven: th e backfield will consist of Joe Zakowski at th e helm, looking for his first healthy s eason in a Colonel uniform ; Ted Yeager will man his familiar tail-b ack post aga in - the mightymite from Catawissa rush ed for 577 yards a nd a 4.4 avera ge per carry in his first collegiate season , nothing but laurels from here out: Bob Genarro will replace Vince Yarm el Chuck Lengle at th e fullback spo t - Genarro is a proven block-buster who can turn on the speed when he gets in th e open ; Stan Zientek will play flanker - the "fire-plug" (5'8", 190) has a good pair of hands and much determination. Backing up these four will be Al Farnetti, a speedster from Binghamton , New York , who thrives on contact and Dave Kaschak , this year's kicking specia list who des erves a shot at a running position. Up front, providing the protection will be : Barry Davenport at tight e nd, - the ex-flanker blocks with vigilance and has a great pair of h ands; Bill Lazor will be given the almost-impossible task of filling Joe Skvarla's spot at split end. Returning le tterman Ed Burke, one of the mainsta ys of this y ear's squad ; Dave Mitchell, and Nate Eustis will vie for the tackle berths. All thre e top the 210 mark and all are accomplished blockers. Les Loveland will la y claim to one guard position while John Chaump, John Baranowski, and Bernie Malian will battle for the other spot. Al Kenney will line up over the ball, getting his first " real" chance at a starting berth. Well, that takes care of the offense. Now, for the famous defensive platoon which will lose nine of eleven starters. Memori es of the "flagrant four" will linger in the hearts of Colonel fans for many seasons to come. The quartet, playing two a nd one-half s easons together, consisted of Paul Merill, Joe Koterba, John Howe, and Bill Layden. Trying to replace these graduates will be: John Williamson and Charlie Fick at the end slots and John Mazur and George Conway at the tackles. These four men rank with any when it comes to strength, tackling, pursuit, and ability. The only ingredient which may be lacking would be experience - and , even that would come with time! Together, this group tips the scale in the vicinity of one-half ton . Competition for a line-backer position should be the highli ght of the pre-season drills. Jim Loveland and Pat Malloy will lead the contingent- both off great 1968 performances. Malloy placed second in interceptions this year and should be even more devas tating w ith a year's experience und er his belt. Loveland placed fourth in total ta ckles and assists in his initial year of varsity play. Trying to replace P. J. Kan e and Mike Connolly will be a major task - in th e thick of things should be Tony Cardinale, Harr y Hoover, Charlie Graziano, and Ron Hillard. The men who w ill line up as defensive backs in '69 will be Gerry Moser, Fred Harkins, and Lenny Maree. This department could pose the biggest problem but both Harkins and Moser are experienced veterans. Both have speed and possess natural savvy and tackling ability. Maree is a jumping-jack who learned much in his first attempt at college ball. Or course, Jay Hollida y, Dann y Mallo y, and Joe Wiendl leav e big shoes to b e fill ed. New Coacl, Appointed To Aid Colonels by Rick Bigelow The most recent addition to the College coaching fraternity is John Bujnowski. Bujnowski has been appointed ass istant basketball coach - th e new mentor will coach the fledgling Colonels and also lend a hand to Ron Rain e y with the varsity dribblers . JOHN BUJNOWSKI Co ach Bujnowski, a 1964 graduate of King 's College, brings a w ealth of basketball experience to th e cage team - he has held coaching positions at Woodbridge Township High School in New Jersey and also loca ll y a t Hanover Township High School. Bujnowski was a member of th e Monarch varsit y for thre e years and also served as captain in his senior year. Coach Rainey had the followin g comment lo offer concerning his new assistant: "John 's past experie nce and ability will definitel y be an asset to th e basketball team. He is familiar with the syst em w e us e and has stepped in nicely. This ma y ve ry w ell be the fine s t jayvee squad the s chool has eve r see n ." Raine y also added jokingly, " Who knows , mayb e we'll give him a uniform before th e year is over. " Coach Bujnowski has been drilling his charges since October 15 a nd is generall y pleased with th e te am's showin g. " W e h eld King 's frosh for almost 30 minutes a nd th e boys pla yed re a l hard ball. We need a lot of work in spots, but th e enthusiasm and desire is abund a nt. We'll employ the same type of game the va rs ity uses and I think the results should be a winner for bo th squads." Working out with th e jayvee squad are : Rick Bigelow, Bruce Brier, Larry Burnetski, Charlie Fazio , Jim Hanak, Frank Januzzi, Terry Jones, and Malcolm Lumsden by Ken Young, Swimming Coach Swimmers seem to come and go at Wilkes College. One year the team is strong in the feature events and another year it is strong in free style. The 1968-69 season seems to point in favor of the free-style events . Wilkes is quite fortunat e to practice at the YMCA pool. However, things are expected to change soon as plans are being dra fted for the building of its own plant. This ye ar's schedule has bee n expand e d to include 11 meets. In previous year the team us ually participated in only s even contests. New teams added ar e : Bloomsburg, Harpur, and Philadelphi a Textil e. The Coll ege squad will swim against th e latt er two schools twice on a home and a way basis. Outstanding swimmers re turning from last year's squad, who are expected lo continue thei r winning wa ys, a re : Jim Phethean, probably th e best aquati c performer Wilkes has ever seen ; Owen Lavery, a fine breast stroker ; and Jon Valentine, a versatile swimmer who can enter most events with ease. Other mermen who showed promise last year are: Pat Burke, Ral Salsburg, Bryn Kehrli, and John Elcko. These men are counted on to lend a valuable hand this season. Strong assistance this year should come from: Jim l\1cDonald, Dave Kaufman, Don Weis s, Bob Burnside, Doug Dingman, and Dave Kienke. Kienke possesses th e abilit y to become one of the fin es t divers in the Middle Atlantic Conference. The last two ye a rs have b een so rt of frustrating for th e swimmers they have been defeated three tim es each ye ar b y less than three points. A w ell-balanced s quad this ye ar should improve on the records of past seasons. The first two mee ts this year will be on the road an d East Stroudsburg will pro vid e th e . opposition in the first home mee t on January 11. All meets are held in the YMCA pool and all fans are invited to cheer th e Colonels on to victor y. Wrestlers Fate Tougl, Opener In Quadrangular At Oneonta The Colonel wrestling team has a wealth of experience amon g its ranks but is desperately lacking depth in the "heavy" classes as it p repares to regain its Middle Atlantic Conference title. Last ye ar, the grapplers of John Reese placed third behind Temple and West Chester at Lebanon Valley College. This year the MAC's will be held at Muhlenberg on March 7 and 8. Coach Rees e is pleased with the Steve Kaschenbach, Denny Verzera , grappl ers ' efforts thus far but is Ralph Tewksbury, Tom Morris, and very cautious w hen discussing any All Zellner. Coach Reese cracks a expectations for the upcoming sea- smile when referring to these five son. Th e Colonels traveled to West men as competition remains hi gh Point and Princeton prior to the for these starting positions. Gary Willets will move up to Wiholida y va cation and word has it th ey represe nt ed th emselves w ell in e ndl 's vacated slot at 160, whil e Rich Ceccoli will handle th e 177both scrimmages. Heading the list of le ttermen are: pound chores. Ron Fritts will open captain Joe Wiendl , who will s ee in th e h eavyweight division with ac tion at 167 this ye ar - the Col- Tom Grady ready to enter action in on el senior is the national small the second semester. The wrestlers will open their s eacollege champion at 160 and should carry his extra weight well ; Andy son tomorrow evening when the y Matviak will probably open in the travel to Oneonta, New York, for a 123-pound class ; while John Marfia quadrangular match with the Uniwill again find duty in the 130- versit y of Buffalo, Montclair Sta te, pound class. Both men are being and the host school. The malme n's hard-pressed by Bill Harri s for a first appearance before the home crowd will take place on December varsity berth . Th e n ext three w eight classes , 16 when the Springfield Indians in137, 145, and 152, are still in doubt vade Wilk es-Barre. Springfield las t up to this point. Battling for a var- year ups e t the locals in a thriller, sity spot in these categories are: 16-15. That's the sqm,d as I see it from this vantage p oint. Ma n y fan s w ill disagree while others ma y see my point. In an y eve nt, I think all who doubt this team are in for a REAL SURPRISE. Lycoming and Indiana State (Penns ylvania) will be add e d to next year's schedule. Without a doubt, it will be one of the toughest a Colonel team has had to face in the past few years. It is the fe eling here the Colonels will rise to the occasion - and in fine st yle! * * * * This week, the Luzern e County Community College Minutemen inaugurated their winter sports season as both the basketball and wrestling teams saw action. The cagers will embark on a 22-gam e schedule under newly-appointed head coach Jim Atherton . * * * * Olympic hero Spencer Haywood made an auspicious debut in collegiate ranks Saturday night as Detroit University annihilated Aquinas College, 105-40. Haywood, appearing in his first game for Detroit, scored 36 points, pulled down 31 rebounds, and shattered Aquinas' backboard with six and one-half minutes left to play. He was not injured, but both coaches agreed the game should 'b e called. Haywood was going for a high layup when ·h e said he thought the defending player "was going to bridge me." He claimed the "only defense I had was to dunk the ball which is illegal, but I thought it would be the only way to avert an injury." 1968 COLONEL CAGERS - The Wilkes College basketball team inaugurated its season last night by playing host to the Ithaca College Blue Bombers. From left to right: Bill Grick, Wally Umbach, Jay Reimel, Char• lie Wetzel, Herb Kemp, Rich Davis, Bob Ockenfuss, Dave Kurosky, Ted Frey, Bo Ryan (captain), Tom Ken• nedy, and Coach Ron Rainey. Tomorrow evening at 8:15 p.m. the Madison-FDU quintet from Madison, New Jersey, will provide the opposition. Last season the Blue Devils manhandled the Colonels by a 97-76 count. - � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
