Committee • Circle K wms Stale award The Circle K Club of the College attended the .seventh State Convention since its acceptance at the College in 1961. At this year's convention, the Club won two awards. For the second year in a row, they were awarded the Achievement Trophy. This award goes to the Circle K Club in the state which enga.ges in the most worthwhile projects. The other award which the club received was for the best display. The display was divided into four parts, each part a panorama of the difkrC'nt projects the club engaged in this past year. Nelson Smiles and Mike Petrillo were elected district secretary and li.-utenant governor of Division 5A, respectively. The lieutenant governor of each division must And out what activities are planned by each club in his district. He then forwards a report to the district secretary, who must be informed of the activities of all clubs in the stnte. He, in · turn, makes a national report. In keeping -with a theme of service, the club has b~en actively engaged in projects which ; have been helpful to the College and the community. This past semester the club has participated in Heart Fund, March of Dimes, Blood, and Buck-A-Cup Drives. At the present time the club is selling candy to help meet various expenses which arise in the course of the ycnr. The Circle K at Wilkes is the largest in the state, and hopes to increase its size in the upcoming 1968-69 school year. The present officers of the club are: president, George Pawlush; vicepresident, Richard Wetzel; treasurer, Bill Brown; recording secretary, William Morris; and corresponding secretary, David Shevchuk. heads are Cindy Lewis, invitations; Sharon Tyson, refreshments; Georgianne Perlick, program; Ned Williams, the Queen and her Court; and Alyse Nackson, publicity. Tom Kelly, chairman of the ticket committee, has announced tickets are $7 per couple and should be bought or reserved at the bookstore no later than April 30. Official counting began this morning of the ballots cast in the state primary on Tuesday. The campaign in the eleventh Congressional District, organized by Wilkes students four weeks ago and manned by students from a dozen colleges, but mostly from Wilkes, King's, and Mi.sericordia, was successful as of Tuesday night's unofficial count, in its attempt to elect three delegates who will support Senator McCarthy at the Democratic National Convention: Mrs. Lea Csala, Mr. Joseph Noterman, and Dr. Gerald Perkus. The campaign was co-chairmaned by David Frey of the College, and Dr. Gerald Perkus, of the College's English department. Organizational assistance was given by Lloyd Patross and Steve Soter, both graduate students at Cornell, and Bonnie Hutsko, a sophomore at the College. Other students who played particularly important roles in the campaign were Pat O'Donnell, Mike Bentley, and Bob Caruso of King·s, Mary Grace Duffy of Misericordia, and Nancy Leland, Ira Krupchick, and Katie Eastman of the College. In addition to Wilkes, King's, Misericordia, and Cornell, some of the other colleges represented in the local campaign included Vassar, Princeton, Drexel. Luzerne County Community College, Scranton University, Columbia, Ithaca, and Penn State. The campaign was a defeat for the regular Democrats, who failed to elect two of their four candidates running for delegates, and who could manage only a dead man as an alternate. Plans are now being formulated by the campaign leaders to extend the student organization to take part in primaries in other states, to assist the elected delegates in preparing for the Democratic National Convention, and in re-organizing for the general election in November. been planned by the Wilkes hoots in continuing the original goal of learning through mutual understanding, enjoyment, and exchange of ideas. Yesterday, 16 students and two chaperones arrived from Hampton to the Wilkes campus and attended a private get-acquainted party in the new cafeteria from 8 p.m. to I I p.m. Today the Hamptonians will visit various classes with their individual hosts. There is a possibility that a special tour of a local coal mine, Stegmaier brewery, or of another local spot will be conducted. Following the tour a banquet will be held at the Spa at 6:30 p.m. Saturday promises to be an active day beginning with a picnic at Dr. Farley's farm from 11 :30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., followed by an 8:15 p.m. performance of "A Raisin In the Sun·· at the Center for the Performing Arts, and ending with a coffee hour. Former Pennsylvania Governor William Scranton, a friend of Wilkes College and a member of Hampton's Board of Trustees, has been extended an invitation to the picnic and may come this weekend from a meeting at Hampton. All dormitory accommodations and scheduling of activities have been arranged by IDC under the direction of its newly elected officers Bill Downey, Caleb McKenzie, Ann Alumbaugh, and Geor.ge Harrison. ''A Raisin in the Sun'' Opens The setting for the play is an apartment on Chicago·s Southside "somewhere between World War II and the Present." The Younger family has received a $10,000 insurance check, but most of it is lost before the Youngers' can invest it. That part which is not lost is used as a down payment on a house in Lindner's ··clybourne Park," and this dream house is the basis around which the action of the play evolves, a growing process for each member of the family. The set for Raisin was desi.gned by Bob Salsburg. The entire play takes place inside the Youngers' apartment: what the audience will see is a tiny, cramped kitchen and a combination living-room-dining-room. The kitchen, tiny as it may be, is replete with a working vintage refrigerator and a sink with running water, which Mama uses to nourish her precious plant also for real. The kitchen is done in great detail, as is the rest of the set. A preview performance of the play was held last night for area high school students. Regular performances are: Tonight, 8:15 Saturday, 8: 15 Sunday, 2:15 Sunday, 8:15 Anyone connected with the College, on a student, faculty, or staff basis, is entitled to one complimentary ticket. Students presently attending any other educational institution may obtain ticl<ets at a cost of 50¢ while tickets are available to the community for $1.25. The box office is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. today and will be open one hour before each performance. Reservations must be called for at least one half hour prior to curtain time.

The three-act play was written in 1958 and received the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for the 1958-59 season. The drama has survived its first decade with its impact intact. It is first identified as a play about racial prejudice, currently emphasized by the Report of the President's Commission on Civil Disorders, more commonly known as the Kerner Commission Report and by the tragedy of Martin Luther King. However, the merits of the play lie not only in the fact that it is a play about a Negro family; it is a deeply moving play, one which deals with life, and which has "taken into account what hills and valleys" make up a rnan·.s life, any man's, as Mama expresses it in Act III. In the College's production of the play, directed by Alfred S. Groh, Mama is portrayed by Judy Moshier, a sophomore newcomer to the theater, Walter Lee, "Brother," by Mel Wynn. also a novice on the Center for the Performing Arts stage, Ruth, Waltecr Lee·s wife, by Liz Slaughter, and Beneatha, "Benny," by Shirley Ellis. Carroll Cobbs takes the part of George Murchison, Ed Manda that of Asagai, the African student, and the part of Bobo is played by Doug Forde, also appearing in his Arst role at the College. Travis, the son of Ruth and Walter Lee Younger, is played by two boys, Jimmy Chester and Tommy Smithey; due to the greater demands upon a grammar school student, this part is divided by performances. David Frey portrays Karl Lindner. who represents the heretofore all-white neighborhood into which the Younger family intends to move. The two moving men are portrayed by Barron Mkwaila and Francois Song , both appearing brieffy in their initial roles on stage. �THE Page2 Editorial The success of the McCarthy campaign in Luzerne County indicates that the students of Wilkes College are just as capable of constructive political activism as are students on any campus in .th.e ..nation, for the campaign .was organized and directed by Wilkes students. While credit must be given to students from King's and Cornell, as well as a dozen other colleges, for the roles they played in the campaign, there is little doubt that the essential components of the campaign were obtained on the Wilkes Campus. The McCarthy campaign was something new for Wilkes in both design and scope. Never before has a campus group set out to obtain the election of a candidate, in this case three delegates to the Democratic National Convention . Never before have so many students from the campus participated in an event that they obtained absolutely no recognition for. There were no credits given in any course for participation, though on election day itself excused cuts were tacitly permitted. Credit must be given to the many faculty members who aided the campaign, for without their encouragement the students may never have gotten the campaign beyond the idea stage. But without the encouragement of the students the faculty members may very well have not been willing to participate. It is not because the campaign was for Senator McCarthy that we praise it, for if the campaign had been for Senator Kennedy, Mr. Nixon, President Johnson or any of a half dozen others we would still be free with our praise, for the campaign itself seems to have inspired all those who in some way came in contact with it. The local newspapers commented favorably on . it. One of them contrasted it, in an editorial, to "the smoke-filled back rooms" that are usually associated with normal campaigns. But this was not a normal campaign. No one was paid, but many volunteers put in as many as sixty or seventy hours in a single week. No "boss" made decisions, but instead a group of over a dozen students and adults sat around a plywood table to discuss in detail their plans. There was never any talk of com promise. Ideals were stated and adhered too. When the Rev. Dr. King was assassinated all the campaign leaders, without exception, agreed that the headquarters should temporarily close in tribute, even though the weekend could have been used for important canvassing. When President Johnson withdrew from the race only a handful felt their job was completed and thought it best to leave the campaign. But most of these came back before the end, and for this they must be given additional credit, for they worked in what they personally believed to be a lost cause. And something must be said of the talent that went into the campaign. There was not enough money to hire professionals, so the students were forced to choose from among themselves for their leadership and for their idea men. And leadership and idea men there were aplenty. Perhaps never before in the history of the Valley were so many young adults assembled in one organization and equipped with such talent. When it is con sidered that for the vast majority of the students practical politics was something unknown the amount of credit given to the students must be increased, for it was not experience that made the campaign a success. Nor was it money. Both of these quantities were sorely lacking. The success of the campaign was a result of the imagination and the labor of the students. And of their idealism. For they believed that something that had never been done on this campus before could be done. And they did it. Volume conquers plane The right way to see the current exhibition. of many students taking art courses, is through the eyes of others. In this case the author's keen was aided by three soul sisters who had friendly eyes mostly for the ground display of pottery. One sister found the formality of their Versaille Gardens in the linear arrangement of vases. Another thought that the placement prevented one from resolving the group as a whole: one was forced to concentrate on each individual pot. The last sister felt that the pottery did not reflect a sense of Art 101 as did some of the other works. Yet one should not rely completely upon the view of others. Otherwise one would not know of the triptycks of Joe Stallone and others. There were also many exercises in the drawing of chairs in many positions; among these was one whose legs seem to project from the papers. The three soul sisters agreed with the author in the quality of two acrylic paintings. Also technically one might be pleased with the fashion of broad strokes found in large paintings of figures. This potpourri of the products of many students is a chance appearance of an inert, random organism whose family was thought extinct at the school. This display offers a large number of students the chance to present relatively inadequate works to many people. The Institute of International Education will officially open its competition for 1969-70 United States Government and foreign .graduate grants for academic study or research abroad, and for professional training in the creative and performing arts on May 1. Under these programs, more than 950 Amerk.an graduate students will have an opportunity to study in any one of 50 countries. The purpose of the grants is to increase mutual understanding between the people of the US and other countries through the exchange of persons, knowledge, and skills. Candidates who wish to apply for an award must be a citizen of the US, have a bachelor's degree or its equivalent before the beginning date of the grant and, in most cases, be proficient in the language of the host country. A full award will provide a grant with tuition, maintenance for one academic year in one country, round-trip transportation, health and accident insurance and an incidental allowance.

Reif )} Welcome come eventually Hampton �Friday, April 26, 1968 THE Constitution completed It was announced at the last SG meeting that the new constitution has been completed. It was pr~sented to the Administrative Council on Tuesday and to SG on Wednesday. The convention expects to hear on approval or disapproval by April 30. If the constitution is approved there will be a vote for ratification on May 6. A campaign will precede the referendum during which copies of the constitution will be available to the student body for its perusal. If the constitution is ratified on the sixth, SG will nominate the candidates for president that night. The following day, May 7, the classes will meet to nominate class officers and senators for SG. The allschool election is scheduled for May 10. With this schedule, new SG officers will have a week to organize and formulate policies before classes end. A Byer sent out by JDC to publicize dorm party was brought to the attention of SG because it stated that SG affairs were "Bops." SG sent a letter of reprimand to the JDC president and unless a formal apology is received, JDC will not be granted any activity dates for next year. SG decided upon this action because JDC come.s under SG and such remarks as the one that appeared on the Byer tend to undermine the prestige of the governing body of the College. Marc Hoffman and Jean Marie Chapasko reported that the Heart Fund dance, a cooperative effort of Wilkes and King's, raised over $830 for the fund. Receipts for the entire campaign were approximately $2,000 and dorm students contributed almost $80 through private dorm solicitation. On Tuesday, the student body went to the polls and voted for Cinderella Ball queen semi-finalists. At the same time, students had a chance to participate in "Choice 68," the first national collegiate presidential primary. The primary is co-sponsored by Time Magazine and the Univac Division of Sperry Rand Corporation. A turnout of over two million studenl's, representIng more than 75 per cent of the nation's total college enrollment, is anticipated. The basic data on the ballot shows the voter's age and party ; whether he is a foreign student; his first, second, and third choices for preisident among 13 listed candidates plus write-ins; the course of action which he believes the US should pursue in regard to her military forces in Vietnam ; the course of action which she should pursue regarding the bombing of North Vietnam; and the area of government spending which should receive highest priority to meet the urban crisis. From about two million ballots, a computer will tabulate percentages of first, second, and third choice votes for each candidate, and the percentage of students favoring each course of action under the three referendum questions. It has also been programmed to compare the first choice voting for rnndidates with the voting on each issue, showing, for instance, how many students indicating Senator Eugene McCarthy as their first choice also favor immediate withdrawal of US forces. .JOCJOCJCXXXJCXJCJCU.XXJ001.0001XlOCIOOC"'i00000"""1<>00iXX.0UUU00001XlOCD00 JOO□oooooooooooooooooooooaoocoaooooooooooooooooo a The 1108, as the computer is called, will further analyze the voting by age groups, party, religion, and type of school, and will show the exact number of votes for each of 1,872 possible combinations of first, second, and third choices. Over 70 per cent of students expressing their preference in "Choice 68" are expected to be under the minimum legal voting age of 21. BEAC0N Page 3 Spring is sprung, etc. Spring comes to the Wilkes Campus and the signs are everywhere. The Honda's buzz is heard throughout the land. the smell of Bowers is in the air and it mixes gently with the fragrance of oil being expelled by two stroke cycle engines. Valley slicks careen merrily around the square in their shot down "hot cars" trying to impress everyone. The more traditional loving student can get his jollies at the "Disneyland and Mini-National Park of Greater Wilkes-Barre," otherwise known as "The Commons." Here the student can get far away from the drab halls of the college "acadamia" (if you think the halls aren't really that darn drab, you must not have any classes in Conyngham Hall; in fact he or she can get as far away as one half a block. Many fascinating activities and games take place on the green grass ( color choice in grass is, as always, extremely limited). Student Government had plans afoot to have the grass removed and have it replaced with Blue and Gold carpeting but someone pointed out the fact that the River Common was actually not under their jurisdiction. SG is reportedly setting up a committee to co-ordinate actions and communications between SG, the city of Wilkes-Barre, and Mother Nature (an adament old crank at best). An additional problem under consideration is how the carpet will be attached to the earth; any interested students are asked to contact their Student Government representative who will supply them with necessary blueprints and carpet tacks. Mr. Tymchyshyn, of the art department, has stated that the trees on the commons are "visually pretty awful " and he has volunteered to replace them with aluminum stabiles of a nonobjective nature. He pointed out the advantages of aluminum over convention wood trees , their general lack of bugs, short root structure, etc. Wilkes., ► I OOOOUOCJOOOOOCXjUCJUCJtXKXXJUOO ACE HOFFMAN CITY SHOE REPAIR Studios and Camera Shop WILKES-BARRE PORTRAIT, COMMERCIAL AND AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHERS CAMERAS AND PHOTO SUPPLIES 16 W.

All the avid fans in the gallery and the millions watching on television knew Roberto DeVicenzo had shot a beautiful birdie three on the seventeenth hole and had finished the final round with a sensational 65 and a clubhouse lead with other leading contenders still on the course. The gentleman from Argentina was celebrating his fortyfifth birthday and his dynamic style had captured the hearts of golfing America. Another typical success story in sports was about to happen - almost. It was later discovered that DeVicenzo, in the midst of his spectacular achievement, had signed a scorecard which gave him a par four on the seventeenth and not a three thus giving him a final round score of 66 and a score ten below par. One instant DeVicenzo was tied for the lead and the next minute he was forced to settle for second place DeVicenzo received this greeting from one of the officials, "Sorry, but you're not tied for the lead with Bob Goal by and you will not be involved in a playoff for the Masters title." SORRY? How could such a disastrous event ring down the curtain on such a great tournament as the Masters? The answer is simple: the good book - the book entitled Rules of Golf - USGA. Its pages dictate all golfing regulations, penalties, etc. There is just one notable ommission in all of its fine print the one cardinal rule which takes precedence over all others - the rule of reason. The rule reads: "After each hole, the marker shall check the score with the competitor. On completion of the round, the marker shall sign the card and hand it to the competitor. (In this case Tommy Aaron, his playing partner, was the marker just as DeVicenzo was the marker for Aaron). If a competitor returns a score for any hole lower than actually played, he shall be disqualified. A score higher must stand as returned." There were several high-ranking officials seated at the scoring table. Not one of those officials bothered to check DeVicenzo's card. Not one offered any assistance. Roberto DeVicenzo, emotionally exhausted and yet thrilled, signed away a chance at the $20,000 prize which goes to the winner, the green coat that serves as a lifetime pass into the tournament, and all the fringe benefits that accrue to a Masters champion. DeVicenzo lost - no doubt about that, but worse was the loss of respect and prestige which golf suffered. I feel that it would be a simple thing for a tournament to provide an official scorer. If this is deemed impossible, at least the golfer should be escorted to the scoring table and given time, and assistance in checking his card thoroughly. There is enough stress and responsibility for an individual to play four rounds of championship golf, be forced to keep count of his strokes and those of his partner, then have to attest to them. Today Roberto DeVicenzo can view the "Augusta Fiasco" and attribute it to one thing - human error. DeVicenzo paid for his mistake dearly, but in the process he won the hearts of all the golfing fans across the world. • • * • • • * • * • We would like to congratulate Andy Matviak, John Marfia, and Barry Gold for their fine showings in the recent Binghamton Boys Club Wrestling Tournament. Matviak won first place honors in the 130-pound class, disposing of four opponents on the way. John Marfia finished third in a tough 137-pound division. Gold pinned his way to the championship in the 191-pound division. The Colonel senior flattened both his opponents under the one-minute mark. • • • • • • * • • • Five talented incoming Freshmen basketball players have coach Ron Rainey anxiously awaiting next season's hoop sport. Heading the list of Colonel hopefuls is St. Vincent's star Tom Kennedy, who was considered by many as the best all-around player in the area. The 6'2" Vinnie topped the coveted 1,000 point mark in his high school career and compiled a 28.1 average in his senior year. Kennedy was honored with the Most Valuable Player award in the Catholic League. Lebanon High's Ted Frey will also bring impressive credentials to the College. Frey's consistent scoring and rebounding were responsible for his selection to the AllCentral Pennsylvania League team. At 6'3", Frey has all the moves to develop into a Colonel standout. Charlie Wetzel and Ted Sokoloski will adequately represent Nanticoke's District 2 champions. Both boys played a major role in the Trojans' drive for state championship honors. Wetzel compiled a 17.9 scoring average this past season and was chosen Most Valuable Player on the Wyoming Valley League. The 6'2" southpaw possesses an accurate jump shot and also hits the boards well. Sokoloski, speedy guard who served as the Trojans' chief ballhandler and playmaker, will vie for a guard's spot. Bill Grick and Jay Reimel will be joined by ex-Montrose High teammate Dave Kurosky. Kurosky stands 6'4" and is capable of working both inside and in the corner. He has been a vital performer on recent Montrose championship squads demonstrating excellent rebounding ability and a fine shooting eye. This quartet will be combined with more returning lettermen from this year's successful Colonel squad to give coach Rainey a well-balanced squad. Competition will be keen on the College hardwoods and undoubtedly coach Rainey will be faced with many problems - the kind every coach welcomes with open arms. The Colonel netmen were victorious over Ursinus and Hartwick in last week's action only to suffer their initial loss of the season to Rider on Thursday. Coach Tom MacFarland 's crew ran their winning streak to four before tasting defeat on the home courts. The locals defeated Ursinus, 5½-3½, and Hartwick, 6-3, on successive days before bowing 7-2. The long vacation layoff took its toll on both teams in the Ursinus encounter as both squads appeared sluggish at times. Coach MacFarland was forced to juggle his lineup when regular Carl Magagna injured his right hand. Co-captains Tom Rokita and Danny Klem started the locals on the winning path with wins over Ron Teitjin and Milt Jackson. Rokita was troubled with the visiting captain's backhand before prevailing in straight sets, 6-4. 6-4. Klem used power in disposing of Jack son in straight sets, 6-0, 6-2. Dave Winitz had his hands full with Bob Magel before winning, 11-9, 6-4. Both Winitz and Magel held their serves well as endurance provided the Colonel sophomore with his third successive win. Bill Tarbart's hustle and aggressiveness were the main factors in his 6-2, 6-2, conquest over Rick Gibbons. Doug Valantee and Dave Jacob then resumed a high school rivalry in the fifth match. Playing for Phoenix ville High last year Valantee easily defeated Jacob, then representing Pottsgrove High School. Jacob reversed the tables and defeated the Colonel freshman, 3-6, 6-1, and 6-3. Senior John Sheldon was pressed into singles action because of Magagna's injury and was defeated by Ed Lodge 5-6, 10-8, 8-6 in the day's marathan match. The two teams halved the doubles play when the third match was called because of darkness. Rokita and Klem defeated Teitjin and Magel in three sets 6-4. 3-6. 6-1. Gibbons and Jenkin son defeated Ron Piskorik and Bruce Rankins in straight sets 10-8. 8-6, to give the Bears their third point. Tarbart and Valantee halved with Lodge and Jacob in the finals 6-4. 2-3. A sweep in the doubles action provided the Colonels with their 6-3 de cision over visiting Hartwick College and their second win in as many days. The match-play was extremely close as tempers Hared throughout the afternoon. Tom Rokita and Danny Klem. starting to show their mid-season form, swept the Arst two matches to give the Wilkes squad a 2-0 lead. Rokita eliminated Neal McClelland in straight sets 7-5, 6-1. with well-placed returns. Klem ·s smashing serves and base-line shots proved too much for Hartwick sophomore Jon Gould. Klem garnered his fourth victory in straight sets 6-1. 6-2. Freshma n Chuck Watkins surprised Dave Winitz with a determined, steady performance in the third set and conquered the Wilkes sophomore 4-6, 8-6, ''-6. Bob Zurhellen then disposed of Bill Tarbart 6-4, 6-1. in straight sets as the Colonel sophomore showed signs of tiredness, and could not cope with the wind problem. Hartwick took the lead for the first time at 3-2 when Bob Krimer defeated Bruce Rankins 6-1, 6-2 in the Afth match. Doug Valentee regained his steady game and defeated Hartwick captain Andy Leighton 7-5. 6-1. With their backs against the wall and the score tied 3-3, the Colonel doubles teams ran their visitors off the court by sweeping all three events. Rokita and Klem had little trouble with Gould and Watkins 6- 1. 6-2. John Sheldon teamed with Rankins to defeat Zurhellen and Leighton 6-4, 4-6, 6-4. Tarbart and Winitz {lained revenge for their losses in singles action by defeating McClelland and Steve Draper 8-6. 6-4. Undefeated Rider College ( 10-0) overwhelmed the Colonels late Tuesday afternoon by a 7-2 count. The lo- cals collected their only points in singles action as Rokita and Klem continued their winning ways. Rokita was extended to three sets before gaining victory and Klem easily defeated his opponent enroute to his fifth straight victory. According to coach McFarland, "Rider is definitely the toughest team we'll see this year. They are undefeated in ten matches and have beaten American University, Temple, and Catholic University, among others." The netmen will attempt to regain their winning form tomorrow afternoon when they travel to Selinsgrove to tangle with Susquehanna University. The Colonels will resume home court action next Wednesday when they entertain Muhlenbur.g College. Co-captain Tom Rokita displays championship form as he returns a volley in last week's action against Hartwick College. The senior netman defeated Neal McClelland in straight sets, 7-5, 6-1.

Tom Higgins put the contest into a deadlock as he smashed John Bednar's offering for an opposite field triple along the first base line. The stage was now set for Joe Wiendl, who dropped one through the middle to give the Wilkesmen the go ahead run. Playing heads up baseball, Wiendl proceeded to steal two bases and then rode home on Carl Cook's single.

Members of the Constitutional Convention Committ'!e and two representa tives of the Beacon met to discuss revision of the student government constitution Mond ay evening. Tom Kelly, Jud y Simonson, and Carl Siracuse, committee chairman, were dismayed by th e ;ibsence o f so many elec ted delegates. Onl y seven of th e 25 ele cted delegates were present. A discussion of the conceptions of student gove rnment followed, in spite o f the poor attendance, and two main proposals were elaborated. David Frey and Bruce Fritzges, members of the Beaco n present at the meeting, suggested th a t the revision include th e committee form of student government now being adopted at o th er colleges. The problem with this form discussC'CI at the meeting is the nrnnner in which representatives are sE'lected. M embers o f the committee at M o nd ay 's meeting felt it necessary to provide a broad elective base for student leadership wh ich the proposed com mittee form does not allow. T o include aspects o f both the voluntary commi ttee form nnd the elec ted Senate form s it w11s suggested tha t members of the Senate be in charge o°f committees in rela tion to their need. The committee form differs from the present structure of student government in that more latitude and power is invested in committC'es dealing with specilk a re;is of concern. For instance, a cale nd ar com mittee would operate ;i nearly autonomous committee which it is felt by the proponents of such a s yskm. would free the other members o f the stude nt gove rnm ent for less important concerns and enable them to work in th eir Held of interest. Under the present revision, proposals are being made to strengthen and define the areas of student involvement. By outlining these areas and providing co nce rted leadership in the areas, the revision hopes to accomplish a strong and more effective leadership for the student body. Another meeting was scheduled for Wednesday !'vening when further di scussion as to the structure of the new government was to take place.

"Dido and Aeneas" Opens SG Resignation Stayed; Bowers lo Remain SG had a chance to interpret stri ctly or loosely its present constitution at the last meeting as a result of the resignation of Jerry Bowers. freshm an represe ntative. Parliamentarian Paul VI/ ender stressed that according to the 'prcsE' nt constitutio n, an election of a h ew representative must be held withr1n two weeks after the resignation has hePn accepted. Gay Roberts. fresh,i,;in , pointed out that if this policy \\'ere carried out, the new representative would have. at mos t, two weeks to serve before th e general SG elections come up in late April. The conse nsus of the body was that the staging o f an election for a new representative by th e freshman class so close to the ge neral elections was impractical and th ey proposed to leave th e decision up to the fr eshman class. If th e freshm an cl;iss decided to hold an elec tion. \ 'lender stated, SG could exercise its con;;titutional power to approve or disaprrove elections scheduled on campus. President Gatto pointed out that if this plan were ca rri ed out it would make SG almost a <1i ctatorial power. Upon the suggestion of Mr. Hoover. the body decided to ahandon this idea and instead refuse Bowers' resignation and hold off furl.h er action until th e two-week limit for nc-w elections coincides with the nex t SG elections. Thus, SG took the easy but most practic;il way out in failing to interpret its role and functio n con<.: c- rninq class elections. C arl Siracuse, calendar chairman. proposed that a committee be set up to investigate the possibility of having SG take over all dances in the future and allot mone y to clubs as it is needed . If this policy were to be instituted. Siracuse stated that it would eliminate the possibility o f two cluhs hav ing dances th e sa me weekend and both losing mo ney as a res ult. One question that tht> committee will have to consider is the possibility of ;idding an activities fee to the present Colle(le bill. This is o nl y a possihilit y and not a su rety for nex t year. Siracuse also sugg es ted thnt Wilkes and King's sc hedu le th eir cak·nda rs to qether : perhaps Wilkes dances 0 11 Frida y nights and Kin g's dances Saturda y nights. In this way the two colleges can have more successful affairs ;ind there would be less enmity. Zig Pines, represen ting SAC, repo rted that his group will publish the re sults of the questionnaire he distributed to the faculty about his .group's general proposals for both students and facult y . The group also intends to have its proposals possibly placed o n the ballot of the nex t gene ral elections to obtain student opinion on various matters. At th e present tim e. Pines stated, SAC is investiga tin g the possibility of credit-onl y. pass- f,1i ) coursl's at Wilkes through further study of oth er institutions using this method. After the Easter vacation, SAC plnns to revamp its organization somewhat to encompass a greater crosssec tion of students and faculty. A seminar program for this purpose is also being considered. Surrounded by her court, Dido, queen of Carthage, played by Eleanor Krushefski, is shown dreaming of Aeneas. The last performance of Purcell's opera will be tonight at 8:30. The College music departm ent 's production of Dido a nd Aeneas opened last night at the Center for the Performing Arts. Due to the beginning of the spring vacation, the originally scheduled S aturday performance has been cancelled, thus making tonight's performance th e last. Curtain time for tonig ht is 8:30. The opera, first performed in 1689, is in English and concerns the romance between Dido, queen of Cathage, and Aeneas, the Trojan hero cast upon her shore following the fall Troy, who is called by a sorceress impersona ting M ercury, messenger of the gods, to found Rome. D irecting the opera is Mr. Richard C hapline. Dido is played by Eleanor Krushefski, Aeneas by Neil Rosenbaum. A cast of 30 additional characters is comprised of College music students w ho have studied o r are presently stud ying under Mr. Chapline. Some of these are: Carole Cronuauer, Pati Lewis, Marlene Atherholt, Mary Ann Mickulik, Joy Geida , Curtis Roberts, Barbara Gonzale&, Suzanne Caezza, Dennis English, Merrill Farrell, Margaret Franks, Gordon Heavner, Margaret Klein , Jan yne N aill, E lliot Rosenbau m, and Mi chael Stair. Cooperating with the music department in the techni cal aspects of the production is a staff of Cue 'n Curtain members. The set is designed and executed by Joseph J. Kleban and features a huge mast and sail used to give the illusion of the seashore sce ne. Lighting is by Joan Tymchyshyn. Bob Graham is stage manager. Also featured in th e show is a $4 ,000 harsichord, delicately han dled and played by Mr. Chapline. Tickets are on sale at the box office o r from Millie at the bookstore, and will be available at the door. All students and College facu lt y and staff members will receive one free ti cke t; additional tickets are $1.50. �THE Page 2 EDITORIAL BEACON ·Friday, April 5, 1968 I Letter Policy Letters to the editor represent a vehicle to transfer the opin ion of members of the College to the editor. It has been our policy to print all letters from members of the College community which do not offend the sensibilities and whose authors reveal themselves to the editor. This year has brought a fruitful and in many cases overwhelming number of letters from interested students, faculty, and Administration. The response has been so large in fact that due to the severe limitations we must work under as a college weekly, we have been forced to delete a number of letters from the newspaper. The Beacon tries to give a fair representation of campus life and activities and therefore it is necessary to delete any repeti tious, unduly long, trivial, or outdated letters. Letters which exceed 250 words are subject to condensing by the editorial staff. Exceeding this 250-word limit prohibits our publishing more articles, as space will not allow it. Our deadline for letters is Tuesday morning at 11 a.m. and acceptable letters will be printed on a first-come, first -served basis. We emphasize that we wish to publish as much information as possible for the College community and we feel better able to accomplish this if those who wish to add their comment will comply by limiting their word count and submitting letters before the deadline. NOTICE A presidential preference poll, sponsored by the Beacon , will be held on campus Monday, April 22. Help will be needed for publicity purpose and manning of the polls. Any interested student is asked to contact Chris Sulat at the Beacon office or Sturdevant Hall. THE BEACON Editor-in-Chief. . . . . . . . . . . • . . . . . • . . . . .

SUBSCRIPTION : $3.00 per year Majority view of exchange aired We wish to make it clear that this is not merely a letter to the Editor, but an open statement written so that Wilkes College Students, Faculty. and Administration may receive the opinion of the majority who participated in the Hampton Exchange Week-End. As stated in the Wilkes College Bulletin 1967-68 (page 44-Social Activities) : "JDC also sponsors a social exchange program between students from Wilkes and Hampton Institute, Hampton Roads, Virginia." The purpose underlying the exchange is not racial. Upon meeting with Dean Ralston prior to the trip, it was explained that we were not going to Hampton as a racial exchange - but as a personal, social exchange. And those of us who went to Hampton with this at- It would be a mistake to assume th at the liberal wing of the Republi c;m Party ( pronounced Fair Weather Republicans) was silent during all this bloodletting. A small group of them. disappointed because Romney ( the man whose brain .goes beyond bright) could be defeated by a man they consider a Loser ( what this would make Romney I couldn 't say) , are now tryi ng to get Nixon by fair means or foul. In the midst of all this minor lacerating , LBJ. always the master politician, adminstered the coup de grace. He announced that he will not run for President again in '68. This will put qu ite a crimp in the campaign of RFK and McCarthy, which were based on hatred of LBJ and a deescalation of the War. LBJ is deescalating the war now, knowing full well that Hanoi does not want to talk. W .hen his peace mission fails, as it is destined to, he will prove to the Doves of the world ( and what are doves but washed out We found in the week-end what we were looking for in the week-end. Those of us who were looking for a good time found one, and others who were looking for other things found and/ or imagined what they were looking for. We too agree that police patrolled the beach: however, we question th e interpretation that you gave in the Hampton article. Being the flrst day of Spring, the beac h was being re-populated, just as our dike is now being re-populated. For this reason we choose to look upon the presence of the policemen as merely routine - a normal occurence - and nothing else. We, as the majority, do not feel that "the p91ice were amazed ·at the suddenly integrated swimming area ... The article in the March 29, I 968 ed ition of the Beacon labeled " Hampton Tension High", has many overton es which we feel do not trul y rep• resent the ma jority consensus of the Wilkes group who participated in the exchange. We feel that the trip was pervaded not by tension. but rather by sincere congeniality and hospitality. (sic) Hubert Ritter, Ann Alumbaugh. Steven Kaplan, William F.

[on. position Dear Editor: In our attempt to provide a better system of student government, we have been severely castigated by your editorials. While we welcome constructive criticism, we do not welcome your sarcastic remarks which attempted to demean not only us, but also the student bod y which has elected us. We do not propose that the new constitution is a sacrosanct document ; however, we do believe that it proposes a better system of student government. You have charged that the Exec. Division of the Con. Con. has presented an "illiterate document." It is our hope that both your editorials a nd the Exec. Division Chairman's letter have crea ted enough interest in th e student body that they will want to read the llnished copy of the proposed constitution to flnd out exactly what it offers and to decide for themselves whether or not it is an " illiterate doc111nent." The judgment concernill{J the worth of the proposed constitution must be left to the Adminitrative Council and to the student body who will vote to accept it or reject it. We have enough confldence in our proposals that we will dis tribute many co pies of the proposed constituti9n to the students. We will make these copies available following the Spring Vacation. We would also like to explain. the reasoning behind the Exec. Division's recommendation that one of the assistant secretaries handle the reporting of S. G. matters. During the past three years there have been many S. G. meetings at which no Beacon reporter was present. There have also been instances where the Beacon requested that S. G . members themselves prepare a report for the paper. (This took place last year.) We felt that our recommendation would provide a direct line of communication to Tfi e Beacon. The assistant secretary could report pertinent fa cts concerning ca lendar changes, dates for special elections, location of S. G. sponsored social events, etc. These reports would Puhlicus discusses hackstahhers Nothing like a good round of meta phorical back-stabbing to get everyone interested in politics. I am referring of course to the scurrying in the ranks of the liber"als over the Democratic, and to a lesser extent Republican, candidacy for president. First we saw Eugene McCarthy stab the American soldier in the back, but this was nothing new as it had become a popular sport among "intellectuals" years earlier. Then we saw Bob Kennedy stab McCarthy in the back, quite a surprise to everyone. Bobby must have reconsidered his moral duties ( the fact that McCarthy had the courage to blaze new political fields and ac tually show the potential to overthi;ow LBJ may have had something to do with his decision). We must not assume from all this that Bobby is ruthless (gasp) but one gets the impression that Eugene would be constantly singing Dylan's "Posi.tively Eight Street" ( " You've got a lot of nerve, to say you are my friends .••. ") if only he knew all the words. titude - looking for a .good time were ce rtainly shown one. pigeons) that the only alternative to victory in Vietnam is a surrender to the unassailable monolith of Red China. Should the bombing pause bring nego.tiations ( laughter here). he can claiin he did it. In either case, LBJ has succeeded in ruining the campaigns of two of his greatest political adversaries. LBJ may kill a few hun, dred Americans with his bombing pause to prove that Hanoi must be totally defeated but it may shut up the militant pacifists once and for all. Look for a bid by HHH and his eventual nomination for President at the Democratic convention later this year. I am ashamed of a country that would let 83 of its citizens be held prisoners by a third ra te dictatorship ( the Pueblo incident in case you forgot already) just to keep things quiet and "peaceful." Publicus will make no further comments on the sorry state of the Union. Until things improve, I remainVery truly yours, Publicus include Senate meetings, Court sessions, and Committee meetings. (A new syste m of committees has been proposed.) It is doubtful that a Beacon reporter would he ;ib).- to attend all of these meetings ; howeve r, our recommendation would provide the Beacon with information concerning all S. G. matters. The ed.itor, being "officially" informed o f such matters, could print the report, enlarge upon its information, or disregard the report if he considered it insigniflcant. Since all o f these mee tings will be open to a nyone. Tfi e Beacon could send their own reporter to any meeting whenever they so desired. Therefore, we maintain that we did not propose a sini~ter censorship o f Tfi e Beacon as you sugges ted ; we h;ive proposed bet- ter communication between the student government and the student press.

In a short nine months he split the pop perform;ince world wide open with his amazing sta(IC presence. "The most amazing thing, .. one reviewer said about the Jimi Hendrix Experience, "is the audience reaction. . . . When the (lroup walks out onstage, there's a concerted gasp of surprise." This is largely a reaction o f awe, for the appearance of the three, Hendrix, Noel Redding, and Mitch Mitchell, is, to say the least. unusual.

Off the record , Ji111i's favorite instrument is the harpsichorcl. Humphrey the activist by Martin f. Naparsteck Hubert Humphrey has always been ;111 activist. and if the choice is now his. he will actively seek the Presidency. He was born in Wallace. South Dakota, fifty -seven years ago. and thirtynine years ago he entered the University of Minnesota, only to drop out after two years. It was during the Depression and there was not enough money for his tuition. He picked up a degree from the Denver College of Pharma cy and worked in his father 's clru(lstore for three years. but then re turned to the Universi ty of Minnesota to earn a B.A. in political science in 1939. In 1940 he earned a master's degree from LSU and won a tea ching fcll ow~ hip nt the University of Minnesota. In 1943-44 he taught at Macal cstcr College in St. Paul, Minnesota. He was rejected for military service durin(l WWII because of medical problems. His flrst entry into politics was in 1943 when he was defeated for mayor o f Minneapolis by the incumbent Marv in Kline. He has not lost since. After helping to merge Minnesota's Democratic Party with the Farmer-Labor Party in 1944 (Eugene McCarthy and Orville Freeman also helped to bring about the merger). he worked as the :;tate campaign manager for the Roosevelt-Truman ticket that same year. One year la ter he defeated Kline for mayor and was then responsible for the enactment of the nation's first Fair Employ ment Practices Law. He was easily re-elected in 1947 over Frank J. Collins and gained a well -deserved reputation as a volum inous speaker. In his four years as mayor · of Minneapolis, Humphrey made over 2.000 speeches and nearly 500 radio broadcasts. In 1948 he won election to' the Senate over incumbent Joseph Ball, was re-elected in 1954 over Val Bjornson, and in 1960 over P . K. Peterson. At the 1948 Democratic Nati onal Convention he a rgued for a strong civil rights plank : "The time has arrived in America for the Democratic Party to get out of the shadows of states' rights and to walk forthrightly into the bright sunshine of human rights." He was a Favorite Son Candidate fo r president in 1952, at President Truman's request, and his name was .1ct11ally placed in nomination, but he rele;,sed the Minnesota delegates after the first ballot. He broke precedent in 1956 by openly declaring himself available for the vice-presidential nom- in;, ti o n, but the Democrati c Conven ti o n instead chose Estes Kefauver. With one da y remaining in 1959 he lwc11mc th e flr.5t person to announce hi s ;,vail11 bility for the 1960 presidenti;,l nomin;,tion. but he lost b11dly in his two prinrnr y battles with John Kennedy. Kennedy won in Wiscon sin 56.5 per cent to 43.5 per cent and in West Vi rninia 60.8 per cent to JQ .2 r c-r ce nt. Dis;irmarnent has always be!'n one o f his speci;,J interests. In 1955 he was respon sible for the creation of n Senate Forei(ln Disarmament Subcommittee. of which he became chairman, and in 1961 he modified hi s own 1960 proposal for il National Pe;,cc A(lency to cre11te an Arms Control and Disarm;irnmt An ency. In 1963 he played a major role in the Senate ratiflcation of the Limited -Nuclea r Test Ban Treaty. The United Notions. also. has been o f special interest to Humphrey. Tn 1956-57. at President Eisenhower's request. he served as U.S. delegate to the U.N. General Assembly. ;ind in 1958 represented the United States at il UNESCO conference in Paris. In 1964 Lyndon Johnson became the first President in Ameri can history to personally address ;i national political conventio n and request that a speciflc man. Hubert Humphre y. be the party 's vice-presidential nominee. As vice-president. Humphrl' y . not only presided over the Senate, but also served as Chain,1an of the NAS Council. Chairman of the Peace Corps Advisory Council. Honorary Chairman of a Special Cabinet Task Force on Travel USA. member of National Security Council. member of the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institute, and Ch11irman of a Cabinet Task Force on Youth Opportunity. Despite 1111 this he still fe els that the vice-presidency is " an unnatural role for an ;ictive politician."

Many coaches desired its return after a year's absence, saying that it was one of the most thrilling things for the fans . The committee, however, did not see it that way and voted to maintain the ban. Since the "stuff shot" was outlawed, injuries and damaged backboards have disappeared. A spokesman for the group said, "The majority con cluded that the no-dunk rule had no adverse effect on the game and statistics showed scoring had been up a little this past season from what it had been." I think most coaches will agree that the elimination of the dunk shot has given back to the game the value of the little man . The little man has proved of much value to the Wilkes cagers' success. Also at the meeting, a motion was voted down to raise baskets from 10 feet to 11 feet. Such a move was designed to eliminate interference calls. I agree with the committee that this wasn't necessary. The most far-reaching result of the meeting was the sanction of the use of three officials in a contest whenever opposing teams want them . The idea had been experimented with this year with favo rable results. The Big Ten used three officials in all league contests and found it beneficial. I feel that the use of three officials will upgrade the quality of the game. It will enable a better coverage of play on fast breaks and during full-court presses. In both situa tions officials are sometimes not able to be in good positions to view play. In that case either a foul is missed or one is called where there is no foul. Officials feel the number of fouls called in a game will be reduced because players will be more conscious of the officials and will be more careful. Three officials would benefit the College team . Bo Ryan , Jay Reimel and Bill Grick were called for many fouls this past season which they didn't commit, merely because they were in a position · which the referee could not see and in which a foul is usually committed. The trio is usually too fast for the officials. Several times they were called for traveling or for an interrupted dribble because it "appeared" that way. Had a third official been close to the scene there probably would have been no call. When I first contacted basketball Coach Ron Rainey for his opinion he said it would only be " one more official to yell at" but seriously he felt it would help the game. When asked whether he would have three officials at Wilkes games, Rainey stated that costs were prohibitive, but if the school can afford it he can see no reason why not. If any other school asked to use three officials in a contest against Wilkes Rainey said he would give his consent. Rainey, however, was not all pra ise for the idea . He stated that two good officials are sufficient but there are not enough of those around . He felt that three poor officials together would probably offset their deficiencies and call a good game, but no better than the two good ones. In a nationally televised game between Niagara and Villanova , three officials were used. On one occasion Niagara had six men on the floor. The teams went up and down the court twice before the officials noticed , so it is not a cure-all to have three officials. Rainey feels that within a few years it will probably become a mandatory rule . Then and now it will present a problem to small colleges like Wilkes - cost. The CBOA, the the national basketball officials organization, sets its rates according to school size - $30, $40, $50 and $60. Wilkes pays $30 per game per official plus traveling expenses. An additional official would be a burdensome cost on any school. including Wilkes. Also Mr. Rainey feels the ECAC would be hard-pressed to supply the needed officials. I spoke to a local CBOA official who had about the same to say as Coach Rainey. However, he felt that there were enough officials to cover the games. He explained that entrance into the CBOA ranks is a long, hard process but there are long lists of applicants . So probably if there were a greater demand for officials, they could be admitted. This doesn 't necessarily lower the quality, as quality is not now a requirement for membership. I think next year Wilkes should play a few games with three officials just to try it. They could make arrangements with Lycoming or Scranton, whom they play twice, with each team bearing the cost once. It might prove to be profitable. * * * More laurels were heaped on football and baseball Coach Rollie Schmidt when he was singled out by the area Knights of Columbus as College Coach of the Year. He re ceived a trophy at a dinner held in his honor last week. * The tennis team lived up to pre-season predictions when it soundly beat the University of Scranton, 9-0. To add to this, on Monday it also shut out a highly regarded King's squad, 9-0, in a scrimmage. So far this year, all the teams have finished with winning records and it looks like tennis will join the ranks. The tennis team opened its season with a 9-0 romp over the Univ ersity of Scra nton last S a turday a t the Ralston Field co urts. A ll nine matches, six sing les and th ree doubles, w ere won in two sets. T om Rokita and Carl M agagna turned in the most impressive scores, wi nni ng 6-2, 6-2 a nd 6-2, 6-0 respective ly.

Along w ith Dennis P uhall a. this pair from th e fin e W yoming Area team of last year should make the path to a starting position ev en more to rturous for the tea m veterans.
