XXVII, No. 13 Untermeyer to discuss what Americans read by Debbie Rushin Mr. Louis Untermeyer, poet, ed itor, critic, anthologist and author of the . recent volume of reminiscences entitled Bygones , will address the College on " What America Reads and ' Why" on January 4 at 8 p.m. at the Center for the Performing Arts. Best known among his books of original verse is the Selected Poems and Parodies. His book Modern American and British Poetry was recently issued in an enlar9ed Mid-Century Edition and has been adopted as a standard text in virtually all schools and colleges throughout America. Mr. Untermeyer added biographer to the list of his literary accomplishments with the publication of his book Makers of the Modern World , in which he recounts the lives of writers, artists, scientists, statesmen, philosophers and other cultural leaders who have helped to shape the pattern of today's world. His Lives of the Poets has been hailed as the true successor to . Samuel Johnson·s classic of the same title and his Golden Treasury of Poetry is for young readers what the original Golden Treasury was for their elders. Born in New York, reared and educated there, Mr. Untermeyer is an essayist, biographer, teacher, lecturer, pianist and passionate horticulturist. Friday, December 15, 1967 Medieval by Pat Moir Greenburg ·s liturgical drama, The Play of Daniel, will be presented by the music department tonight and tomorrow night at 8:30 p.m. and Sunday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. in the Center for the Performing Arts. The play, based on the biblical story of Daniel in the lions· den, will be directed by Mr. Richard Chapline of the music department. The thirteenth century musical drama will be enacted in the authentic costume of the period. The players, utilizing the facilities of the Center, will imitate a theater - in - the - round.

Within a playing time of two hours, there are nine processions, most accompanied by pomp and display. The first public performance of the drama since medieval times was presented in 1958 by the New York Pro Musica at the Cloisters of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The present edition of the play is based on the transcription by Reverend Rembert Weakland. His task was to transcribe the music into modern notation and work out a rhythm based on the thirteenth century practice. In the first act, the drama centers around Belshazzar's court. Three processionals occur in this scene. Mysterious handwriting appears on the wall of the throne room and only Daniel, the slave, can decipher it. In the second act, King Darius overthrows Belshazzar and takes his kingdom. In this act, Daniel is condemned to death in the lions· den , but he is rescued by an angel. Basil Russin will narrate the play. Included in the cast are Dennis English, Raymond Smith, Joy Geida, Michael Stair, Edward Liskey, Louis Kubik, Neil Rosenshein, Elliot Rosenbaum, and Eleanor Krushefski. Others are Merrill Farrell, Janine Naill, Patricia Lewis, Gloria Koritko, Michele Shivell, Mar9aret Franks, Sheryl Lucker, Ann Barnes, Virginia Larson, Eugene Solomon, Robert Smurlo, and Roger Butler. Also included are Patricia Lewis, costumes : Joan Tymchyshyn, lighting: and Robert Graham, stage manager.

The committee also discussed a proposal that the new Court should have jurisdiction over cases where dormitories were solely involved. At the present time !RC has sole power over disputes between dormitories and it was felt by a few members of the committee that this power should remain with JDC. It was felt that the Court would encroach on the organization that was already fulfilling this capacity. It was pointed out that it may be dangerous to have another independent organization such as JDC on campus once our new constitution is set up for all of the College students. One student commented that there should be one autonomous organization that everyone can go to and that it is responsible for the entire campus. It has been suggested that dormitory problems could be settled by a court composed of members solely from the dormitories: this may alleviate the need for a separate organization such as JDC. It was pointed out that the functions of JDC could possibly be included in the Senate and Executive. No final decision was taken as to whether jurisdiction will be taken over cases of this nature. Following this discussion, the committee analyzed the problems which exist between classes, clubs and other organizations. It was pointed out that the Senate Committee may also have a grievance committee to which these organizations may go if they want some action outside of a definite controversy with another organization. It was decided to provide a sub-committee from the Student Court ·and one from the Senate to discuss this problem in .greater detail. Carl Siracuse then stated that Dr. Farley would be in favor of this Student Court and would like the students to take a greater interest in governing their own affairs. Dr. Farley pointed out that at times the students are more knowledgeable and equipped to deal with their own problems and to settle them effectively.

He hopes that this new course will aid the society in recruiting new members; it will be offered as an alternative to public speaking. News Analysis by Tom Engle In recent issues of the Times-Leader, Wilkes-Barre's "leading " news publisher, the parking problem created by the addition of new buildings at the College has led to char9es and counter-charges by the principals involved. The position of the College was presented by Dr. Farley in a letter of November 30 to the Times-Leader. The position of the city has been reviewed by Frank Burnside, a local merchant and civic worker. Dr. Farley stressed the importance of the College's expansion into a graduate program in the sciences as a fundamental condition of RCA prior to their locating in this area. This is a valid assumption and the creation of "5,000 to ·6,000 regional jobs" seems to have hinged on this expansion. Likewise, as Dr. Farley pointed out, the rapid increase in the size of the student body has both stimulated the growth of an educated labor supply as well as increased the gross income of the inhabitants of the greater Wilkes-Barre area. Not only do the College's students spend an average of $2 million each year in the city, but members of the faculty rent and buy housing, pay taxes, and shop here. Al - so, the College hires local° contractors to build dormitories, libraries, and rehabilitate existing structures, as well as provide a sizeable number of people to maintain its physical plant. Dr. Farley·s point is well taken; the College contributes in a great many ways to the continuing economic growth of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Burnside, on the other hand, seems to refute Dr. Farley's claim concerning RCA. It is his position that rather than helping the growth of the community, the College and Dr. Farley seem to have hindered it. By flouting the local zoning restrictions and blocking an attempt to build a super highway in mid-city (vicinity of South and River Streets), Burnside claims Dr. Farley "has unnecessarily increased the congestion in central city." Also, for the same reasons, the local merchant feels that "Wilkes-Barre has no direct interchange" on R_o ute 81. The criticism of the parking situation stems from an announcement recently of the expansion of the Center for Performing Arts to include a muchneeded instruction center for the music department. The contention of articles in the local newspaper seems to indi- cate that this will create additional parking woes for affairs held in the combined buildings. If, however, the zoning laws require the College to provide one parking space for each ten day students, then the 270 parking spaces of the College seem to meet this demand. And, if enrollment of day students from the Wilkes-Barre area is not substantially increased in the next few years, it would appear that the College will continue _to meet the basic requirement. This, however, does not solve the problem. Anyone who has ever had to regularly claw his way through the streets of Wilkes-Barre, drive past the ugly , dirty, unworked culm banks and refuse dumps within city limits, ne9otiate a morass of uncontrolled cars and pedestrians, and seek an inexpensive parking space is aware that the addition of a classroom building on the College campus is not going to appreciably alter the present situation. Rather, the present status of city congestion and the critical need for parking space stems from the lack of any effort, exeluding verbal, on the part of the city of Wilkes-Barre to improve the situation. (Con't on page 3) �Page2 THE BEACON Student teachers return by Lynn G!cm b The College 's student teachers returned to campus this week after a period of practical instruction in local elementary and secondary schools. At the beginning of the semester, the 80 students attended classes concerned with curriculum , methods, and reading which lasted for four weeks. During the following eight weeks they put into practice the educational knowledge which they had acquired. Presently . the students are a ttending various committee meetings in substitution for regular classes. The subject of these meetings is the construction of a new school to be situated in an educational park. Development of this hypothetical institution is required in place of writing a term paper. Each student is obligated to participate in the activities of three committees, one of which must deal with his major field . He is also ex- · pected to belong to an interest or vocational committee and to be a member of a third group which considers such activities as home and service, staff and school regulations.

Friday, December 15, 1967 SG discusses constitution by Bonnie Ge/las Myrna Lou Brodbeck recently taught advanced English classes at Meyers High School, where she followed the method of a pupil-centered class. Using Hamlet as an example, her students studied the basics of literature, complemented with discussion. They related plot and character to everyday experience; for example, one girl was asked whether she would like Hamlet for a boy friend . In addition to such an exchange of ideas, the pupils acted out many scenes from the Shakespearean play. This course also considered the essay as a literary form . The classes compared and contrasted the works of various modern authors. During her experience, Miss Brodbeck found that the lecture method of instruction, with which we are familiar on campus, was invalid for use with her classes. She found it successful to draw the information from the pupils and encourage them to ask questions. "Motivation," she said, "is a prime factor. " Besides instigating a drive among her students, Miss Brodbeck learned that planning and organizing are necessary for a worthwhile class. In admiration for her cooperating teacher, Miss Brodbeck said, "Since student teaching is primarily a learning experience, it was fortunate that Miss Tyburski was always there to guide and advise me." After graduation, Miss Brodbeck plans to teach English in a secondary school in the area, then continue to study for her master"s degree. She is now serving as chairman of the philosophy committee, which outlines the aims and objectives of teachers in that field . John Vanderhoof, a music education major, began his period of field teaching at Meyers High School. After th e first few weeks, he also st arted teaching a general music course in local elementary schools. He felt this wa5 an enlightening experience, since he was able to observe the consequences of practicing the ideas which he previously held. He saw that some of his ideas were profitable, while others were not. In comparison of the two educational levels, Vanderhoof stated , "An important factor , which I found to be lacking on the high school level, is discipline. Without this, it is impossible to accomplish anything ." He was happy to have this opportunity, say- The Constitutional Revision Coming that the students themselves made it enjoyable ; the younger they were, mittee has begun to " spin the wheels of progress," it was reported at the the more they thrilled him. last SG meeting .

They found many differences in teaching on the two educational levels and learned to recognize the procedure, language, and discipline to use in each situation. The older and younger students differ in their types of reactions and in their attention spans. They found the experience profitable in learning what to expect in a classroom situation. Paul Smith, who taught eleventh and twelfth-graders in the Wyoming Valley West School District, thought his biggest challenge came in finding ways to attain the interest of his students and getting them to accept what he was saying. He thought that his experience was very effective in putting a link between studying in school and actually stepping into a teaching career. Having been exposed to the task of instructing a class, he feels better acquainted with how to present material to his pupils. When anyone begins teaching , he must spend time getting used to the students, and they need to become familiar with his techniques. " Student teaching eliminates the probJem of the instructor becoming familiar with a class," concluded Smith. e1c.u:,x,a,:"""'DDDDCJD•:mmuuoouccx,oo,oUCJUUuucoooooooooocccoooc 0001 a □oo□□□□□□oooo□□□o □oo□ cooaoo □oo□□oo□□□□□a □oooo□□o□□□□ooo□□□o □□□□□□□□□□a□oc::.ao□ □□□□□□ooaoo □□□□□□o □□c Katie Eastman, in her report of the Senate Committee, stated that it has written a list of 23 topics concerning Senate jurisdiction and the delegates are .going through the constitution to investigate its problems.

Students will receive a 30 per cent discount on all facilities and there is a possibility that students will have the use of the lodge for the dinner and dance at night. Turner also stated that a list of all junior girls will be posted for the election of Snowflake Queen, which will take place after the Christmas break. The price for the affair has not yet been set, but the tickets will be on sale at the Bookstore , the Commons, and the New Dining Hall. It is to be noted that tickets will be collected at this affair. A final point made was that there will be buses to Camelback and those interested must pay in advance. Administration or SG and will only involve a cost of five cents or ten cents a trip on the bus. The Student Action Committee will pursue this idea and will circulate petitions in the near future. Dr. Farley~ also expressed the wish that the ideas of the SG Constitution be presented to freshmen during their orientation program since they will be living under it for four years. Next, President Gatto read a letter from IDC President Bill Bush in which he proposed the idea of subsidizing buses to the away football games next year. The idea was tabled until a later date. Gatto then read a letter from Dr. Farley concerning the arbitrary placement of posters in Stark Hall, which detract from the building's appearance. SG proposed that all posters and Hyers be approved by the Public Relations Committee under Mr. W allison. More action will be taken on this matter after Gatto meets with Mr. Wallison, but any outcome will be enforced. "Kangaroo style" Mr. Hoover reported that the Council of Deans is considering the problems of " what goes on " and "what has gone on" at dances. There is dissatisfaction with the present scheduling system and it is felt that there should be some penalty for the "kangaroo style" of some groups when there are other all-College affairs. Mr. Hoover especially noted the dorms on this point in specific reference to dorm parties during Homecoming and the Lettermen's Formal. Bill Gasparovic appeared before SG to have January 6 approved for a dance after the basketball .game. Carl Siracuse pointed out that this must be approved through the Council of Deans because it is not the policy to schedule two affairs the same night. Mr. Hoover said that unofficially it was all right but "there is no unilateral action in the Council of Deans; they take joint action on all affairs."

The Snyders reside with their children, ages seven and nine, at 46 Susquehanna St., Wilkes-Barre. Dr. Snyder was born in the fairy tale surroundings of a castle situated a few miles north of Berlin, Germany. Dr. Caroline Snyder The daughter of a German count who was killed during World War II, she and her family fled to West Germany during the Russian advance on Berlin at the close of the war. They then moved from West Germany to Switzerland and finally arrived in the United States in 1946. Her early life was spent in the vicinity of Boston ; she received her B.A. and M.A. degrees from Radcliffe College, and her Ph.D. in German Language and Literature from Harvard University in 1966. She taught at Harvard from 1955 to 1959 and met her husband there. After teaching at Luther Colle.ge in Iowa, she and her husband moved to Wilkes-Barre where they have been living for two years. Dr. Snyder enjoys her teaching career at the College, but finds the language department much in need of improvement. "There is a need to update the curriculum, and more funds are required for this purpose. As of now, there are plans for a new language laboratory after the adoption of Kirby Hall as the new language department building. By means of these improvements, the students may see a personal need to extend their knowledge of foreign languages, rather than feel it is just a requirement they must fulfill. " She also stated that she, along with the other members of the department, hopes to see more courses offered in the various languages, especially Russian. The Beacon would like to welcome Dr. Snyder as a full-time faculty mem ber and to congratulate her on this new position. She is a charming addition to the College. Charges sile, continued (Continued from page 1) No effort has been taken to eliminate such dangerous ills as the centercity square, as obsolete as the Model T : no effort has been made to re-route traffic moving into and out of the city on present arteries by making them one-way ; no effort has been made to resurface such important thoroughfares as Blackman and Northampton Streets, the South Street or Market Street bridges. And, it certainly appears that the City Zoning Commission has added, rather than reduced, parking problems by permitting the construction of a food market and industrial concern on two large former parking areas adjacent to both the College and the downtown area. city, not to mention vast acres of ground now occupied by thick stands of weeds and massive piles of junk and garbage. Or are the citizens of this community and those who try to use its resources going to have to continue to listen to verbal outcries rather than witness and utilize material improvements? Burnside failed to note that opposition to the construction of a super highway to help bypass center-city congestion arose long before the Center for Performing Arts became a reality. And, his contention that WilkesBarre "has no direct interchange on Interstate 81" is completely fictitious. As a matter of fact, Route 81 entrances and exits border on the city line. The real problem has been, and continues to be, the movement of traffic into and out of the city. Certainly the pot-hole ridden Blackman Street, used by the majority of those employed by industries in Mountaintop, cannot continue to carry the amount of daily traffic in both directions that presently is expected of it. Nor can any of the other four narrow two-way streets in and out of center city be effectively utilized. Two years ago the city of Portsmouth, New Hampshire (population circa 16,000) constructed a bi-level parking area one and one-half blocks from its downtown area. Parking meters permitting up to four hours of continuous parking for not more than 25 cents were provided. The towns of Carlisle and Chambersburg , Pennsylvania, have leveled decaying buildings throughout their downtown areas and thereby provided sufficient parking space at a profit to the cities. Why is The city is being strangled with it not possible for the city of Wilkestraffic, poisoned with fumes, and, its Barre to do likewise?

BEACC:>N Pap3 'Death ol God' discussed The Death of God Theology reminds me of the story of the drunk who stumbled onto a double-decker bus, weaved his way up the steps to the second deck and in a few moments staggered down again. "What's the matter," asked the driver, "don't you like it up there?" "No," replied the drunk, "there's no driver upstairs." The Death of God theologians are saying that there is no driver "upstairs," or if there is we can 't know anything about him, even that he is there, or we 're better off without him, or his being there makes absolutely no difference to anything else in the world, or he's left there permanently in death or in some other way. PAUL VAN BUREN Paul Van Buren came to his views about the Death of God primarily through his acceptance of the findings of analytic philosophy, in particular his acceptance of a modified form of the verification principle. This modified form suggests that the meaning of a word, "God," for example, is its use in a context. How does Van Buren think we can use the word, "God?" He has two central themes. 1 ) The word "God" is either meaningless or misleading ; and 2) the essential meaning of the Christian Gospel can be asserted without the use of the term God. 1,000 qualifications Thus, for Van Buren, God is dead in the sense that He has died the death of 1,000 qualifications. For example, we know what an earthly father 's love means: to the best of his ability he will take care of his children and keep them from harm. But we haven't the fog.giest notion what the love of God means. As Carlyle says, a loving God, despite his alleged lovingness, just sits there and does nothing. We do not, and cannot, know what counts for or against the claim that God loves us. In time of suffering, the believer must always say, "God loves us, but . .. ," and the 1,000 qualifications begin. This means we trust in God to love us, but we never observe any action of God or consistent change in the human situation which would be a demonstration of that love. Two important consequences come from this: I ) The believer in a loving God does not actually have expectations about what the "facts" will be that are any different from the expectations of one who denies the existence of a Supreme Being. He is like the person in the parable who, seeing weeds and apparently carefully-tended flowers in a garden, keeps expecting to see a .gardener, but the gardener never comes. He keeps making excuses for the gardener's absence - he's invisible, e.g.-to his unbelieving friend, who keeps saying, "But there is no gardener," and then, finally, in exasperation, " Just how does what you call an invisible, intangible, eternally elµsive gardener differ from an imaginary gardener or even from no gardener at all?" Faith in the gardener or in God doesn ·t change the "facts" for the believer. But 2), his attitude would be different, and of course a different human attitude makes for different behavior. But then, since the human attitude is all that matters - and all we can know about - since the facts are the same for both ( cancer kills the believer and the unbeliever alike), the word God does not say anything about ultimate reality at all. Thus God is love does not refer to anyone supernatural who is like a human father, only better - or if it does we can't know it. "God is love" simply means, as one philosopher put it, "I intend to live a loving life" - religious belief dissolving into moral intentions. God-talk meaningless Thus, all statements about God, for Van Buren, are not cognitive statements, saying something verifiable about God or reality; they are noncognitive statements and are really, therefore, only statements about man, expressing his point of view about life. They can be verified as true , not as true about God, but true only in the sense that the man who makes them has the appropriate behavior to go along with them. So - God -talk is meaningless, because the facts of life seem to be indifferent to God"s existence and He certainly seems to be indifferent to them. And God-talk is misleading because it is really only mantalk, talk about man 's attitudes. Van Buren would drop the word, God, altogether then. However, in the second place, Van Buren is saying that Christianity is quite happy to be concerned only with man. In a nutshell, since that is all the space we have, we can know nothing of God or of ultimate reality but we can know enough about Jesus to know that he was a remarkably free man, especially free for others, and that somehow others caught his freedom by contagion, and still can. In this sense, Jesus seems to have some unconditional meaning for Van Buren, which brings God in again through the back door, so to speak, although in Van Buren's latest writing he seems to be moving more in the direction of a humanistic pluralism. WILLIAM HAMILTON Hamilton seems to have come · to his idea of the death of God through his profound awareness of the terrible mystery of suffering, as revealed in the writings of Albert Camus, for example ; and through the scattered statements of Dietrich Bonhoeffer about the world 's coming of age, t~e need for religion-less Christianity, ·a nd for rejecting the "God of the gaps." Dr. Roy E. Williams For Hamilton, God is dead as needfulf/1/er and problem -solver. Following Bonhoeffer, Hamilton believes that the world, not God, can offer forgiveness, overcome loneliness and despair, break pride, and relieve the fear of death and also minister to whatever restlessness man needs to overcome. He is willing to grant that maybe Augustine 's heart was restless until it found (Continued on page 6) Test yourself ... What do you see in the ink blots1 [1] A Japanes judo expe Just an i Mount Ve Holden explains research progress by Cookie Melnyk The extensive scientific research which is being undertaken by a number of faculty members of the physics, chemistry, and biology departments, is being made possible by a number of federal and non-federal grants. Federal grants encompass 90 per cent of the funding , while the other 10 per cent is obtained from state, and local government agencies, industrial agencies, and philanthropic foundations. For instance, the research of Dr. W . R. Stine and Dr. J. J. Bohning of thP. chemistry department is being supported by the Research Corporation, a private industrial agency. The Air Force is sponsoring Dr. S. J. Holden and Dr. Alvan Bruch in their investigations, while the National Science Foundation also a federal agency, is financing the experimentations being carried out by Dr. R. E. Ogren and Dr. S. G. Cohen. The process by which a scientist obtains funds for his selected project varies according to the particular agency and the type of research the investigator pains to do. However, the general pattern follows basically the same steps: First, the particular research project originates either as an idea of the Jtltltllllddlllldtllldlllllllltllltllllllllllr scientist, or as a request by some fed- eral agency or industry to have a faculty member do some specified piece of research. Second, the scientist determines the best place to go to obtain funds , considering who would be most favorable toward his type of research. Next the principle investigator must submit a proposal to the various agencies to which he is applying . Although the format of this proposal varies according to the agency, it mainly consists of a description of the institution where the research is to take place, a description of the qualifications of the scientist undertaking the investigation, a detailed narrative describing the proposed research, and a detailed budget describing the need for funds. The last step is to submit the proposal, and await the decision of the agency, which may range from six months to one year. In the past few months, a shortage of funds coming from Washington D.C. has extended the waiting period to one and a half years. Most agencies employ a panel of outside experts to evaluate the worth of the proposal. Then the agency, itself, will study the proposal and check budgetary items before awarding a grant. [2] An ax?

The Administration should be open to student question and influence. The students should be open to understanding the reasons for certain existing policies. ~The Administration should welcome these questions while the student should welcome the Administration's experience. Perhaps it would be wise for the Administration, faculty, and students to become involved - involved in an evaluation of what they have said and how they have acted. We must be definite about the spheres in which each of us can work. And from this should naturally come a physical involvement. (For example, we have become concerned about the present inadequacy of the Bookstore. V'fe know that as soon as possible, the Administration will furnish a new building with better facilities. But let the faculty and students begin now, workin.g to have newspapers, magazines, etc., available. From here, we could go on to other such actions.) Administration, faculty, and students, you are being called upon by the present situation to bring alive a reexamination and involvement. If we can concretely work with our ideas, we will be constructively affecting a liberal arts community. Katie Eastman Poll favors escalation by Todd Ashworth A survey on the war in Vietnam was recently conducted among students in the History 101 classes. The mixed results of the poll indicate a great variance of opinion on questions of involvement, escalation, objectives and other questions. When polled as to their agreement with the administration policy, four out of Ave said that they did not agree with the way the Johnson administration is running the war. When asked if they thought a credibility gap existed between what really goes on in Vietnam and what the American people are told, the students voted I 3 to one that the gap did exist, many expostulatin.g their views on why this gap should be eliminated. Two-thirds of the pollers voted that we were right in going into Vietnam in the first place and voted one to one on the question of whether or not President Thieu's government, which we back in Vietnam, fully represents the Vietnamese people. It is interesting to note here that many people said that they knew so little about President Thieu and his government's policies in Vietnam that they felt themselves unqualified to vote on this question. When asked if they thought the war in Vietnam was a civil war or a war of outside aggression, the vote was surprisingly close. Half voted that they thought the war was one between North and South Vietnam. The other half said that it is a war of outside aggression. When asked who the a.ggressor was, the answers ranged from the United States, to the Soviet Union, North Vietnam, and even Laos and Cambodia getting several votes. But by far and away, the majority thought that the Red Chinese or the VC were the primary outside aggressors. The students voted two to one for the escalation of the war in Vietnam. Four out of five said they would risk a war with China to end the war, but only two out of Ave would dare risk a war with the Soviet Union to the same end. When asked about nuclear weapons for escalation, approximately 25 per cent said they would use atomic weapons in their escalation of the war. Peace is believed to be our only objective in Vietnam. Should the VC be represented in peace negotiations? Here again, the voters polled four to one in favor of the VC being included. The Anal question was designed to let the student, if he or she wished, express his or her general feelings about the war which were not covered by the questionnaire. They varied greatly, from calling our leader things that are considered unprintable to why the draft is unfair. Opinion varied from " pull out tomorrow" to using "ten battleships and blowing the place off the map." One poller simply wrote three letters across the bottom of his ballot, WIN.

SUBSCRIPTION : $3.00 PER YEAR I deem it my pleasant duty and privilege to convey through the columns of your paper my choicest Christmas Greetings and wishes for a Happy New Year to the students, teachers and management of Wilkes College of which only last year I was a limb. Spiritually at least, my association with Wilkes has become a durable influence with me. Love of students, generous treatment o f t he management, inspiring friendship of my colleagues on the teaching staff, all I remember with a deep sense of gratitude. for an on-the-spot fresh exchange of ideas. Let alone a guess about my future plans, I can assure you, Mr. Editor, that I look upon Wilkes as my second home and I feel a deep sense of spiritual kinship with Wyoming Valley where I preached with unwearied zeal by philosophy of synthesis and, its practicaJ counterpart, the ideal of world brotherhood in which I with countless others believe lies in the future of man at this crisis of history. I do believe the concept of Christian love and forgiveness will play an important role in shaping the destiny of man. Immortal words: "Blessed are the peace-makers for they shall inherit the earth" sum up to my mind the genuine aspirations of the large mass of common man all the world over. On the auspicious occasion of impending Christmas, I would like to underline as best as I could the significance of the substance of Christianity for peace and prosperity of man. Before I conclude, once again I would like to wish all concerned with Wilkes a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Sincerely, G. C .

Claus, hero of all good children, was killed today when his eight tiny reindeer went out of control while trying to land on a snow-and-ice-slicked rooftop. He was just about to land on the roof of the Mageezer house here in Tintalingus when the first of his noble charioteers veered sharply to the left, slid out of control, and caused the rest of the reindeer and sleigh to be completely demolished as they smashed into the ground. Santa was crushed to death by a large sack .he has been known to carry from time to time, the coroner's report said. Observers said that the clatter of the hooves and the an_guished cry of Mr. Claus could be heard for miles. Hints of sabotage Peace on earth to men of good will. Government contracts rumored It has been rumored that Mr. Claus was the recipient of several contracts from the United States government. (Explanation of closed workshop.) One of these was the development of a mass system · of levitation used so deftly by him and his reindeer. It is believed he was close to a marketable formula when he died. Santa's happier times According to informed sources, Jolly Old Saint Nick, as he was fondly remembered by his closer associates, lived in a modest but adequate twostory frame dwelling located at 512 Snow Lane. A large workshop was at- tached. (Although never interviewed at his residence, there is much speculation concerning his actions behind those closed doors.) His wife of 55 years, Mrs. Marlene T. Claus, resided with him, They shared a life of bringing happiness to children of the world and also adopted several kindred premature babies ~ called elves, who worked for him making Christmas toys. Mrs. Claus' only comment when asked about her late husband's death was: "Now he belongs to the ages.'.' Santa's body will lie in state at the North Pole where it will be frozen in a large block of ice ( the old boy was quite rotund); it is rumored that thousands of people will Hock to the Pole to pay their last respects to Father Christmas. His work will be carried on by his twin sons, Toothand and Sandy, who are his sole survivors, excepting his wife. The funeral service will be held on December 26 at the magnetic North Pole in reverence to the old boy, who will always be remembered as the world's greatest toy magnate. Almost immediately, FBI agents surrounded the scene of the crash and began an extensive investigation. Traces of wax were found on both the hooves of the reindeer and the runners of the sleigh.

But it is the implications of this harm less drug that will weaken one's resistance and lead to a serious drug problem. Once a person is on heroin, the doctor explained, his addiction is apt to cost him at least thirty dollars per day. Turchetti also explained that the addict's physical ability is indeed weakened; and therefore, his income can no longer depend on a stable job. He is then forced into stealing and other crimes. Today, he stated, we are faced with an even greater menace, that of LSD. The user of LSD undergoes many phases of experience when under the drug 's powerful influence. Dr. Timothy Leary, the leading patron of the drug, has been quoted as saying that he has reached a communion with God and nature while on an LSD trip. The effect of this drug has been farreaching ; many young people have left school and their homes in search of finding "their inner self." In turn, this has led to an increase in venereal disease. LSD can also be slated as the cause of .genetic defects. The meeting was attended by 150 students and coffee was served at its conclusion.

God. At yeS t erday's assembly program, also, the theme was Christmas. The Brass Ensemble and Mixed Chorus were featured along with carols sung by the entire student body. Especially entertaining was the reading from Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol presented by Alfred Groh and Charlotte Lord of the English Department and by Joseph Salsburg of the Math Department. This is an atheist position, but with a difference. In some sense, for Hamilton (and for Altizer), the Death of God is associated with the nineteenth century, but also with the Incarnation of God in Jesus. Why the nineteenth century? Because the death of God lies at the very heart of the vision and experience of the nineteenth century, in the work of men like Nietzche, William Blake, Darwin, Freud, etc. Yesterday, the women of Theta Delta Rho sponsored the annual Golden-Agers' Chirstmas Party in McClintock Hall. In attendance were approximately fifty guests from the Sunnyside Convalescent Home, the Old Ladies ' Home, and the Valley Crest, Sutton, and Franklin Convalescent Homes. Holiday cheer was provided by the Women 's Chorus, while Dean George "Santa " Ralston "dropped in" to present gifts to the oldsters. This year, the members of the Circle K furnished transportation to and from the party. Why with the Incarnation? Because whatever it means, it suggests that God put off His sovereignty and poured Himself into the world, in human flesh, in Jesus, perhaps without remainder. Hamilton's thought, which is at once clear and yet unfinished, and is expressed not systematically but rather autobiographically, in fragments, seems to have advanced from difficulty with believing in God, through a confession of unbelief with hopes that the God who was silent, or hidden, or who had withdrawn, would return, through a further hope that ·though God was not necessary as a problem-solver - not necessary at all - still we might wait for Him that we might delight in His presence, to a final (to date) position that it is possible to be a Christian even though the meaningfulness and usefulness of speaking about God is gone forever. A,pA,del The art work of Sharon Schrader and Leslie Calamari is presently being displayed in Conyngham Annex. The exhibition terminates tomorrow evening. It consists of approximately forty pieces of work representing the two artists through the varied media of watercolor, oil. acrylics, and ceramics. Collages, woodcuts, and etchings are also being displayed by the senior residents of Weiss Hall. The philosophies of both Miss Schrader and Miss Calamari could be stated as such : Art is an important part of our lives; art is reflected in the world we see about us.

He writes, "There is one clear entrance to the twentieth century, a passage through the Death of God; (we have come) to the collapse of any meaning or reality lying beyond modern man, dissolving even the memory of shadow of transcendence. " Altizer asks what kind of faith is possible in the time of the Death of God? I) An orthodox faith, which clings to the past and so misses the present; and which clings to religion and so misses the whole secular world. Altizer rejects this. 2) A faith that affirms , even gladly wills, the Death of God, cuts oneself off from all previous forms of faith, yet, oddly enough, seems to find , in a new way, Christ's presence in the world. How does he come to such a faith in the time of the Death of God? I) Through the study of non-Christian religion, especially of Oriental mysticism, and through the vision of men, especially in the nineteenth century, who had a kind of radical Christian fatih - principally the poet Blake, the nihilist Nietzche, and the dialectic philosopher Hegel. Their faith represents a kind of life-affirmation in the midst of their disillusionment with the culture and religion around them . 2) Through a commitment to the uniqueness of Christianity, which in its doctrine of Incarnation is precisely opposite Oriental mysticism, the purest form of religion. That is, Oriental mysticism wishes to negate the teeming, changing world in favor of a kind of absorption in the sacred Totality, eternal. quiet, inactive. But the Incarnation, the Word become flesh, means for Altizer that the sacred - God - the totally Other - has moved and merged for all time into the teeming , changing world. The sacred and profane In a kind of concidence of opposites - the sacred and the profane, or the religious and the secular, when the Word (call it God) becomes flesh, its preincarnate form is negated. God then no longer is transcendent, totally other, or even partially other, but has his being, without residue, in the continual process, change, and movement of flesh . Since more flesh, more people, more change keep happening, the Incarnation ( call it Christ) keeps "negating" its ow~ past manifestations, and is always a present reality. But not only is there the movement of the original sacred ( call it God) into flesh, there is also a movement of flesh - or ought to be - can be - toward the sacred, and a new unity is achieved in a kind of Hegelian synthesis, which is better than either element was in isolation. Thus - for Altizer - the Death of God, which, originally, seemed to mean for him a kind of cultural neglect of God in our time, has come to be associated with the Incarnation in Jesus and in Jesus ' own death on the cross. The radical, underlying meaning of the Incarnation is that God literally emptied Himself in Jesus. Christians, however, wanted to keep God - up there - and down here, in Jesus. But if He emptied Himself, as Altizer seems to think the Philippians II passage in the New Testament teaches, He emptied Himself. He died in Jesus, and His only life, henceforth, is in the life of the world. Transcendence has been transmuted into immanence , by God 's own self-sacrifice. For Nietzche, man killed - or must kill - God, who stands against our vitality and selfaffirmation. For Altizer, God killed Himself - for us. He so totally poured Himself into creaturely existence that He ceases to have any independent life of His own. Offense to rationality This has been written primarily as a brief exposition, without criticism, of the meaning of the phrase, " Death of God, " in the writings of Van Buren, Hamilton, and Altizer. But a further comment may not be out of order. We have noted that each of the three men, in his own way, has replaced the God who is gone with such a Tillichian unconditional commitment to Jesus that, to all intents and purposes, Jesus is "used" as God. In addition, we might add, as we recall some of the questions raised by Dr. Stanley Kay at the philosophy colloquium, that the central affirmation of the death of God comes perilously near to being sheer absurdity and contradiction. We may feel inclined to agree with Van Buren that we cannot talk meaningfully about God, but to talk about the death of God is not only to presuppose some rather exotic knowledge about the heart of the Eternal. but is a t the same time to contradict and offend the very bases of rational thought. ~occccococccoccooocccoc □coocoocooococccoooooooocooooooooooocooooaooooooooooooooooo□ooooo□o□ coo□c □c THE MOON ANYONE?

After witnessing a super team effort when the Colonels conquered the Blue Jays of Elizabethtown College, he has suffered three consecutive losses to the likes of Ithaca, 83-52 ; Lycoming, 8677 ; and last Saturday to the Blue Devils of Madison-FDU, 97-76. Height again prevailed in the Lycoming encounter as the Colonels were subdued 86-77 in a home contest. With this MAC loss, the Colonels found themselves with a 1-1 record in conference play. Sam Brasington, 6'7" , and Terry Buchanan, 6'8", completely dominated the boards for Lycoming and also led the scoring parade with 23 and 21 points, respectively. The scoring was well distributed as five of the six Warriors who saw action hit for double figures. Bo Ryan led the Colonels with 18 points, Jimmy Smith ripped the cords for 15 (all coming in the first half) . and Herbie Kemp added 11 markers. Bob Ockenfuss gathered in 20 rebounds and Kemp was credited with 18 in a losing cause. Smith injured Foul trouble , an untimely injury and a cold hand played dominant roles in the Colonels' loss. The nine-point spread was rung up in the final two minutes as the superior height of the Warriors paid off. Kemp gathered his fourth foul in the first half with 11 :50 remaining on the clock and eventually fouled out of the contest with four minutes left to play. Smith's injury was incurred at the beginning of the second half. It was later diagnosed as a severe sprain of the left ankle and it is hoped that Smith will be ready to start by the beginning of the second semester. Smith scored all of his points in the first half on seven of nine attempts from the Boor and one for one from the IS-foot stripe. With 5:53 remaining in the second half and Lycoming leading 76-72, the Colonels hit a cold spell and failed to score for the next two minutes and ten seconds. Fred Bauer ended the drought when he dropped in two foul conversions, but it was too little too late as Lycoming had accumulated an 84-72 lead. After Smith was injured, Coach Rainey tried to gain a speed advantage by employing a lineup of Bill Grick, Jay Reimel. Bill Umbach. Ryan and Kemp. The move backfired as the Warriors used their height advantage well and .g radually increased their lead.

Chuck Sample (32) and Sam Brasington (22) wait for a possible rebound. Colonels drop third In the loss to Madison-FDU, the Colonels were victims of their own faulty play. Bad passes, mental lapses, and sloppy Boor play combined to give the Blue Devils from Madison-FDU an easy victory. The Devils produced a well-rounded scoring attack with nine men hitting the scoring column - four in double figures. Bill Wickes led the attack with 25 points, scoring 17 in the second half. Joe Shriver hit for 15 points while Ted Brunning and Jim Harmon chipped in with 14 markers each. Bo Ryan and Herbie Kemp played their usual games, scoring 18 and 15 points, respectively. Kemp was the big man off the boards as he .gathered in 24 to lead the Colonels in that department. Bob Ockenfuss also scored 15 points in a losing effort. The Blue Devils jumped out to a quick 17-7 lead after only six minutes of action as Shriver and Harmon were the big guns. The Colonels then battied back and eventually tied the game at I 9-19 with 9: 14 remaining in the first half. Ockenfuss put the Colonels out in front 20-19 when he converted a technical foul ( called against Madison Coach Bill Rafferty) a few seconds later. From then on, the Blue Devils could do no wrong and the Colonels could do nothing right. MadisonFDU took a 41-30 lead into the locker room at half time. Wickes hot Wickes. held to only eight points in lhe first half ( far below his 23-point average) , quickly hit on five consecutive field goals opening the second half. This put the Devils on top by a S!-30 count, a lead they never relinquished. The teams battled on even terms for the remainder of the game. giving the hosts a 97-76 bulge.

Ac- claimed as the " Rose Bowl of Wrestling" by Sports Illustrated magazine, the tournament is presently recognized as one of the very best in the country. It offers the keenest competition available and also serves as a tune-up for the regular season. The tournament is operated on a volunteer basis and is a non-profit event. The officials, some of the best in the country, also serve gratis. The tournament begins on Thursday, the 28th, with weigh-ins scheduled to begin at 7 a .m. The preliminary bouts will begin at I p.m. and continue until about 6 p.m. After an hour 's break for supper the quarterfinals will begin and will continue untill all contestants have wrestled. Friday will begin with weigh-ins at 8 a.m. Semi-final bouts and consolations will run from I until 6. The final round of wrestling will begin at 8 p.m. with awards to follow. Wilkes College inherited the tournament from the Wilkes-Barre YMCA in 1950 due to inadequate facilities. The tourney was initiated by Austin Bishop in 1932 while serving as wrestling coach at Wyoming Seminary and has grown from a local status to the position of the largest wrestling tournament in the nation. The competition has increased from approximately 56 wrestlers in I 932 to 384 contestants in 1965. Above is a panoramic view of last year's Open Tournament. The picture was taken on the second day of action with four mats in use. The Tournament will be held Thursday and Friday, December 28 and 29. Last year the Open attracted 434 entries with 364 men as actual competition. Represented among the number were 77 colleges and universities, 11 athletic and wrestling clubs, six YMCA's and members from the four branches of military service. The tournament will take on added glamor and importance this year because the Olympic Wrestling Committee has given the Wilkes Open committee the authority to choose 16 wrestlers for immediate qualification in the Olympic trials to be held in 1968 in Ames, Iowa. The choice of 16 will not be limited to merely the winners of the various weight classes because, unlike college rules, only eight classes wrestle in the Olympics. (Therefore, two or three could be chosen from one class.) The selection committee has not yet been chosen. There are also trophies awarded to the team champions and the runnersup in combined point competition. Individual trophies are also awarded to the outstanding wrestler of the tournament, the Blackburn Trophy, and to Dean George F.

While the College dominated the Northern Division, Johns Hopkins placed seven men on the Southern Division Team. The Blue Jays won the Southern championship. Joe Cowan of Johns Hopkins and Don Weiss of Juniata were named Most Valuable Players in the Southern and Northern Divisions, respectively. Cowan, a junior, led the Southern Division in punting and scoring while Weiss directed Juniata to a perfect 5-0 record in the Northern Conference. There were six repeaters on the Northern Division Team including four from the College - Bruce Comstock, Bill Layden, Joe Koterba, and Joe Wiendl. The other repeaters were Dennis Zimmerman, Albright, and Ted Cottrell, Delaware Valley. The only The College was stunned last week by the tragic and sud den death of John Ewastation, assistant football coach. He was killed while driving home from a basketball game last Thursday. Besides his countless friends and admirers , John leaves behind a wife and daughter. The Beacon wishes to add its own condolences to those already extended to his family . John joined the Wilkes coaching staff two years ago after serving as an assistant at Meyers High School, Wilkes-Barre. He had worked mainly with the defensive line, making it into the outstanding unit it is. At the time of his death, he was head wrestling coach and a teacher at Meyers. Prior to his coaching experience he played football for the Marines at Camp Lejeune and King's College. Following are expressions of love and admiration which John aroused in his co-workers. The first is by a member of the team, George Conway; the second from Head Coach Rollie Schmidt. The sudden death of Coach John Ewastation has come as a heartfelt tragedy to the members, managers, and coaches of the football team. Coach Ewastation came to Wilkes two years ago and had done an outstanding job as defensive line coach. He was a rare and very special man, demanding respect from the players, but yet affording a companionship so essential to teamwork. "Ewo," as he was affectionately known, was a great ball player and an excellent coach. His death comes as no little loss to his friends and family. His life was devoted to teaching and coaching, and the people who had the opportunity to work with him could hardly minimize his influence in their lives. As a member of the team, speaking for the players and coaches, I would like to extend our sympathy to the Ewastation family. John Ewastation died last week. For those of us on the football staff, his death was particularly tragic and the loss deeply personal. We drew close as coaches and friends through two years of living, working, and sharing together those experiences which developed respect and admiration among all of us. In short, we loved him. His interest in others, his concern for others, was totally honest. John believed that dedication is devotion to duty, pride is essential if one is to give his best, respect for others is important, and success is a goal to be earned. He was successful because he so richly gave - with style. He'll be missed by his wife and family, his associates, the young people he taught and coached, and his many friends because he believed in them and was devoted to them. But he was more than a good parent, teacher-coach, and friend. John Ewastation was a man, and he was genuine. As someone once said, "He lived respected and died regretted ." John did. We will miss him. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

XXVII, No. 12 Formal ignites yuletide by Pat Moir The social highlight of the Yuletide season is the Lettermen's Christmas formal which will take place this evening from 9 p.m. to I a.m. in the Columbian Room of the Kingston House. Decorations will be red and green in harmony with the Christmas spirit. Music for the evening will be provided by Herbie Greene 's Orchestra. A receiving line headed by Dean Ralston and his wife and consisting of other faculty and Administration members will greet all who attend. One of the highli.g hts of the evening will be the sin 3in3 of Christmas carols by the Lettermen led by Dean Ralston. General chairman of the affair is Mike Romeo. Committee chairmen are: Joe Wiendl, tickets; Mike Babuschak, publicity ; and Bruce Comstock, decorations. Fran Ole xy is club president. When asked to comment on tonight's formal , Dean Ralston said: "The Lettermen's Club, as sponsor of this evening once a year, -finances a great portion of the dance and expects no profit. The only benefit sought is the opportunity for students to enjoy a formal dance." Tickets are $2.50 per couple and may be purchased at the Bookstore or from any Letterman. Any Letterman who sold ten or more books of tickets for the Homecoming raffle is entitled to a free ticket. Dialogue provides answers Fraternities, off-campus living, development. tuition, and dormitories were among the topics of a dialogue among Dr. Farley, members of the Administration, and approximately 60 students at a meeting held on Wednesday, November 29. The discussion covered only a portion of the planned agenda in the lengthy meeting, which was organized around the subjects of endowment, faculty, and facilities, but which branched into other areas of the College. The most provocative part of the meeting was a question period follow ing the Administration speakers. One student present asked whether, now that the smaller residences no longer ex ists, will social fraternities now be allowed on campus. ernment and the student tuition, provides the necessary capital for the College. Mr. Mohr and other members of the panel of Administration also revealed some of the building programs to be undertaken in the near future . An addition to the Center for the Performing Arts will be started in 1969 to house the music department. An addition to the New Men 's Dormitory is also planned for the near future as well as another classroom building to increase the space now available at the College. Mr. Mohr concluded with an ex planation and report on the various campaigns to raise money for the new lihrary. general building fund. and other development programs.

Abandonment The growth of the College was discussed. Dr. Farley explained that a new dormitory will be built in conjunction with the old one as soon as property is available. He also stated that the Colle.ge will eventually move from the first block of South River Street, abandoning its property there. This property includes Parrish Hall and several residence halls. Other questions revealed the information that the tuition of the College i~ the second lowest of private colleges in the state and the fact that the College is on a list of the 92 most competitive colleges in the country. Endowment Walter Mohr, director of development. began the meeting by discussing the endowment and finances of the College. He revealed that the present endowment amounts to approximately $3,500,000, which produces an annual income of $150,000. The endowment has been growing steadily since the founding of the College; that amount, added to grants-in-aid from the .gov- Facilities strained Dr. Michelini also pointed out the problems in classroom facilities. The present facilities are being used to approximately 85 per cent of capacity, compared to about 50 per cent capacity in comparable colleges. The College is especially short of larger classroom facilities accommodating students for large lecture classes, the Dean stated. The students were also informed that upon the completion of the new library, Kirby Hall will become the home of the language department. This will provide additional classroom space. The addition to the Center for the Performing Arts will release building facilities now occupied by the music department. Dean Ralston next commented on the growth of dormitory facilities. In 1946 the two dormitories were Butler and Susquehannock, housing 30 men and women. At present there are 709 men and women housed in 21 facilities. There are 18 women 's dormitories, housing 349 women, while the 360 (Continued on page 4) Friday, December 8, 1967 Twenty plan conslilalion Twenty elected delegates to the Constitutional Convention met last Sunday evening to discuss the problems that each of the committees on the senate, executive and student court would have to solve. Judy Simonson began by explaining the present SG convention structure and how because of a lack of people and time nothing can be solved. She pointed out that the 20 members of Student Government meeting once a week cannot even begin to solve college problems under the present constitution. It was pointed out that even by enlarging Student Government . as it exists, it needs a larg er delegation of power to cope with the present situation. The problem of incorporating the honor system into the new constitution was discussed. Most of the delegates felt that the problem would only be passed over lightly in the constitution . The present student government merits were discussed , plus methods for creating greater student involvement in campus affairs. No motions were made at the meeting. Carl Siracuse, chairman of the judiciary formulation committee, stated Seated L. to R.: Katie Eastman, Judy Simonson, Tom Kelly. Standing are Bill Downey and Carl Siracuse. that: "A student court had been provided for under the present constitution, yet never to have been used in my three years at the College, which only proves that a constitution is only a piece of paper unless it is supported and followed.

The young people in Russia are completely sympathetic with the ideals of Russian Communism. These are the major conclusion~ concerning the youth in Russia today in an address delivered by Ikar Ivanovich Zavrazhnov on November 29 at the Center for the Performing Arts. Mr. Zavrazhnov, attache from the Soviet Embassy in Washington, was the featured speaker in a lecture presented by the 'Russian Club. A Alm shown in conjunction with the lecture depicted the events that take place at a typical summer camp in Russia. Siberia When asked how the students were placed in jobs after they flnished their education, Mr. Zavrazhnov said that the government places the student in a position. He also added that if the "student does not want that position," he " goes to Siberia for three years." In answer to · the question, "Why was Boris Pasternak's Dr. Zhivago not published in Russia?' ", he stated th at it was not published because of "literary shortcomings." Mr. Zavrazhnov said, "Pasternak failed as an artist." He was then asked about the psychological effects of World War II on Russians. Mr. Zavrazhnov stated, "Since World War II. Russia has become a peace loving nation. " No discrimination He was also asked about discrimination and class distinction in Russia. He said there was none. When asked about the war in Vietnam, Mr. Zavrazhnov stated, "If North Vietnam asks Russia for help, there will probably be a third world war." His lecture outlined contemporary Russian education; the three basic divisions are primary schools, secondary schools and the university. Schools The secondary schools and universities are subdivided into technical and academic branches. At the end of the primary level the student decides whether to pursue an academic or technical curriculum . The academic course leads to the university and the technical provides vocational training. Students in the vocational secondary schools do not go on to college. Those students completing the academic secondary schools take a series IKAR I. ZAVRAZHNOV of tests to determine whether they will further their education at either a university or an institute. Mr. Zavrazhnov said that competition to enter these schools was strong. There are approximately ten students for each position in the universities and institutes. The last year of study consists of writing a research paper called a diploma. This paper is comparable to the thesis written by .graduate students aspiring to obtain their doctorate degree. The student must be able to defend his diploma paper before professors and students. If he fails , he tries again until he passes. �THE Page 2 {dit,,-ial Friday, December 8, 1967 BEACON /.ette,-, tc tAe et/it,,- The Involvement Attempt The recent dialogue between students and Administration, led by Dr. Farley, signals the beginning of sorely needed discussion between the policy-makers and the policy-takers. The discussion provided two hours of conversation clarifying the role of various departments of the Administration and outlining the future development of the College. The question and answer period provided the most provocative moments in the meeting and answered (although not always satisfactorily) questions proposed by the students. More important perhaps, the meeting seemed to have a unifying effect on those members of the student body who had been so long concerned with various areas of the College. This meeting, as well as the activities of the Constitutional Convention has generated a spirit of action in certain elements of the student body. Although it has affected only a few, so far, the enthusiasm is intense and will, perhaps, spread to the students not yet involved . Unfortunately, the meeting has been viewed by some as a fruitless attempt. This is not true. If nothing else, the meeting was informative and served to define opposing viewpoints . The students and Administration were able to test their opinions to determine where agreement is possible. The question of social organizations and possibility of allowing off campus housing were found to be immovable policies of the Administration, subject to no changes. Dr. Farley's emphatic denials of fraternities and students living off-campus indicated firm resolve in these areas. However there still remain other areas where the student's opinion can be exercised to create some productive results . Foremost is the area of new programs being developed by the College. The graduate and research programs require expend itures of large amounts of College resources. What will this expenditure mean to the undergraduate? New residence facilities, and academic facilities will also require vast expenditures and students should assure themselves that these building programs are of highest priority for their educational development. The role of the student in evaluating the faculty and determining new courses offers a fertile field for discovery. Who can better testify to the performance of a faculty member than the student who lives through his courses? Does not a student have a basic idea of what new material will be necessary for him to compete with his society? Where are the academic areas that the student would enioy exploring? The concerns of the Collefe Administration are directlv involved in questions of student discipline in addition to development. Student ability to discipline itself can be demonstr~ted to the Administration through the Student Government. The changes bein ~made there will indicate where the possibilities for administrative changes lie. An active SG is the best method to promote chan ge.

Last week the debate, and the attempt for fruitful dialogue on problems affecting the students at Wilkes College were tried. This three-hour meeting between Dr. Farley and the sophomore class officers took place on November 27. This confrontation has been inevitable since Zig Pines· letter (Nov. 3) brought up some social, academic, and educational problems at Wilkes, namely those concerning registration, the Bookstore, the cafeterias, social restrictions, the grading system and the basic right and fre edom of students to act on problems directly concerning them. This was fol lowed by requests by President F arley (Nov. 10) and Dr. Mizianty (Nov. 17). The Beacon's request (Dec. I) was a bit late. (It's good to be on top of the news!) Unfortunately, the results were as fruitful as a rotten banana from the cafeteria. Dr. Farley 's reply to the sophomore proposals (recently supported by IDC and SG) of students directly participating in their problems (senate consisting of Administration, faculty, and students ) and the others mentioned above showed no real understanding of the problem, responsiveness, and was attacked without concrete reasons by our President. His reply could be put in so many words - IF YOU DON'T LIKE WILKES COLLEGE, LEA VE. This answer was repeated at a meeting between the Administration and student leaders on November 29. I cannot consider this answer very exemplary in responding to questions of such , importance. On the other hand, I feel the proposals need much thinking and a re-examination of these and other problems at Wilkes is in order, involving all fac tions of the community - students, faculty, and Administration. Furthermore we have been "advised " to find a constructive activity (like helping with the United Community Fund Drive) . Unless Wilkes College has ceased to exist for its students, I feel we have one. Let it be known that we will not give up in our attempt and we feel by working cooperatively with Student Government and IDC we will succeed . Respectf~lly yours, Odey Raviv Sophomore Class Treasurer Journalis1T1 Criticized Dear Editor: As a student of Wilkes College and president of a campus organization I feel it necessary to comment upon the irresponsible "journalism" represented by last week "s Beacon, and other Beacon issues of this year. The irrational. petty outburst of anger that was last week's editorial was an insult to every student at Wilkes. To label students " selfish" and "sterile" because their zeal for campus politics does not equal their zeal for scholarship, athletics, and matters of their personal lives and careers reveals a confusion of priorities and a narrowness of mind on the part of the Editor. Rather than hurl insults at the student body , the Beacon might better investig ate the sterility of campus politics as the cause of apath y toward it. Rather than deal in pettiness and triteness, the Beacon might better explore the questions of importance. A diatribe of insult is more likely to generate student antagonism than student enthusiasm. Scholars, athletes, club members, and student government members, all of whom were belittled by th at article have reason to be resent- necessary to belittle the Governor of Texas and the Senator from New York. Nor is it necessary to preach to the "selfish" students of Wilkes. ful. It alarms me to think that Wilkes students are capable of the writing which was exemplified in the above cited articles. The Beacon has done better, and Wilkes students can do better. Perhaps new criteria and new methods of selection are needed for securing the Beacon chiefs. Perhaps the remedies lie elsewhere. But, articles such as appeared in last week's paper and have been appearing with reg ularity in the Beacon are a credit to no one. Logical, thoughtful analysis and criticism - not childish name calling! A college newspaper should be so much more. Publicus Bitter The article headed "Publicus" was in keeping with the tone set by the editorial. Bitterness and ignorance provided its theme - a theme incoherently expressed at that. The author clearly has no understanding whatever of the international position of the dollar, government welfare programs, Gov. Connelly's (sic) background, or any of the other topics he managed to include in his tirade. His expressed hostility for our "intellectuals" is understandable. Clearly, he is not one. Intelli11ent comment is sorely needed, but Wilkes students do not have to be addressed as "kiddies," as they were in the "Publicus" article. Nor is it New Selection Needed Sincerely.

Manuscript LiGf(S AT: to iourney to O'Neill film w ritten by someone with a sadly misplaced sense of humor. It is true. The credibility gap widens. The administration, by the very nature of its attempts to tell us it is not widening, widens it. The aristocratic oligarchy imposed upon South Vietnam by the United States is far from the government best suited for a simple and starving people. The Domino theory. Korea, Dominican Republic, Cuba. Iraq, and Hungary are a paradox for those who contend that communism is not an imperialistic form of government. The western mind and the oriental mind are parallel. They do not meet. Being conquered in the Far East is an everyday part of life, as is tilling the soil ( that which has not been defoliated), teaching the children (those who have not been accidentally killed). and eating (what the Viet Cong have not taken). Japanese mind I have recently been to Japan. North Vietnam was, and probably still is, engaged in a propaganda campaign to make the Japanese hate the Americans for the horrors that we daily cause. It will not work. They simply do not care. What they believe in is complex. I am a chemistry major and care not to challenge the history department to a debate on religions of the Far East. They are many and hard for the Westerner to comprehend. I only offer what I have seen as best as I can express it. I think, from what I have seen, that their philosophies toward life are basically what may be described by the Turkish concept of kismet and the Wilkes College concept of apathy. There are, of course, Genghis Khans and Tojos, but these are exceptions. Japan was only recently a great empire. Until one clear, cool morning in August. And that is ironic, for in Ja pan the August moon symbolizes peace and beauty. I could go on. To the extent that maybe some evening in Stark 109 I could show the slides which I brought back from Japan this summer. And then I could always hope that insufficient space would cause the meeting (of what?) to be moved to Stark 116. I care not to bury Ireland, nor to praise him, for those who have seen the allusions that I have made to his letter, for he said what he believed, as have I. We all have different views on the war. No one can say who is right. Maybe the problem is that we all are. David Somerset Eugene O 'Neill's autobiographical work .

SUBSCRIPTI O N: $3.00 PER YEAR THE BEACON �THE Friday, December 8, 1967 BEAC<:>N Faculty grants permit research in new fields Dr. Stanley J. Holden Editor's note: This is the first in a series of articles involving the various research projects undertaken at the College. This article attempts to give a broad outline of the research program, its objectives, and its topics. Future articles will explore single aspects of the program and their relationship to the College. by Marion Melnyk The science departments of the Collc.ge have been actively engaged in various research projects, according to Dr. S. J. Holden, coordinator of scientifk research. These projects are supported by a number of federal and non -federal grants. Every member of the physics, chemistry, and biology departments is or has recently been engaged in some sort of research. The physics department is exploring such fields as atmospheric physin, cosmology, solid-state physics, and nuclear physics. Dr. F . J. Donahoe, chairman of the department, has recently done research on the origin of the moon -earth system. It is enumerated in his publication "'On the Abundance of Earth-like Planets." Dr. Holden's research is investigating intcrnal friction in solids which is an indication of the defects in solids. Effects of tidal winds is the subject of Dr. Alvan Bruch "s research entitled '"Diurnal Wind Variations in the Stratosphere." Dr. F . E . Bellas, who has published many papers on acousti cs, is now working on a proposal on the quantum mechanics of surface properties. Research in the chemistry department involves a number of areas, including photochemistry, organic chemistry, and radiation chemistry. Dr. R. B. Rozelle, department chairman, who has done work with fuel cells and electro-chemistry. is now doing research in the field of acid-mine drainage which has been creating a substantial problem in the pollution of the Susquehanna River. Dr. J. N . Labows, Dr. W.R. Stine, and Dr. 0 . D. Faut are all involved in various chemical investigations Action group by Bonnie Gellas A special committee, the Student Action Committee, was set up under Zig Pines at the last SG meeting. This new committee will be concerned with academic freedom on campus. It evolved through a letter from Pines which appeared in the Beacon dealing with such problems as the Bookstore, a varied grading system, social restrictions, cuts, and knowing the teachers before registration. The purpose of the new committee, stated the sophomore class president, will be to exert pressure on various se.gments on campus to make SG more meaningful. Pines proposed a tri-partite system consisting of students, faculty, and Administration to work with SG to make it more effective. However, this idea was not feasible so the committee will be directly related to SG and reports of any action will be made at SG meetings. The basic committee will be composed of Pines and the sophomore representatives to SG. Anyone wishing to work on this committee is encouraged to contact Pines.

Page 3 Classes .discuss convention The main topic at the class meetings, which were held last Tuesday was the Constitutional Convention. The purpose and objectives of the convention were explained to each class. At the sophomore meeting it was stated that the new constitution will give the student body, through Student Government, power over non-social affairs. By the greater involvement of all students in student affairs, it is hoped that the general apathy that pervades the campus will be reduced. At the sophomore class meeting the progress of the Student Actions Committee was discussed. SAC was initiated by the sophomore class in an attempt to investigate social, political, and educational problems of the students at the College and to establish a definite communication amon.g the students. faculty and Administration. A report has been submitted to Dr. Farley and the class has since conferred with the President and other faculty members. The committee presently is trying to obtain the right to know before registration the faculty members who are teaching courses. It was stated at the meeting that Dr. Farley Musicians present 'Play ol Daniel' • IS planned are presented by this liturgical drama. For example, a large number of processionals and recessionals occur in the play. This causes a problem in the location of the entrances and exits. A former production made much use of emphatic movement and gestures to convey details of character and emotion. Certain scenes must be carried out effectively without music or speech. Further problems occur in the presentation of the music itself. While there was a complete musical setting with stage direction, the manuscript did not indicate rhythm, instrumentation or dynamics. Many of the instruments cited in the original work were not available ; therefore . modern instruments that came closest to the sound had to be substituted. Twenty plan (Continued from page 1) was not favorable to the idea because it might make registration more hec tic. Among the other issues to be taken up by SAC are the grading system , cuts, cafeterias, and social restrictions. A poll was also taken to decide whether a Freshman-Sophomore Dinner-Dance will be held. Because the attendance has been so poor, the class feels that the interest of the students is not being served in holding this affair. The junior class presented awards to its athletes in field hockey, soccer, and football although many of the ath letes were absent along with the ma jority of the class. President Mike Clark stated that the Sophomore-Junior Hayride was a " fi nancial fiasco. " He asked support for the class dance which will be held in several months. He also announced that for the benefit of those who did not order class rin.gs, orders will be taken again in February.

The 1967 Colonels were the best small college team (Division II or III) i in the East - or were they? The football team , with a 21 game winning streak, in fact, was among the top small college teams in the nation - or were they? The answer to these questions, of course, is a definite yes. But it seems that outside the College no one believes it. First of all, during the season, despite outstanding play week after week by certain individuals, only three Colonels were selected to the ECAC Division III All-East Team . Danny Malloy was honored for his five interce ption5 against Moravian, Bill Layden for his outstanding play against Ursinus, and Brinley V archol for his work against Drexel. Taking no credit away from Layden and Varchol, these were not necessarily their best performances. Also, week after week Joe Wiendl performed his "little miracles·· and nomination after nomination was ignored. The culmination of the process occurred last week with a fia sco called the ECAC (season) Division III tea m. It included s1:1ch stalwarts as Sam Porrecca, fullback from Haverford, tackle Mike McCullough of PMC. and at guard Ed Mattio of Drexel. All showed their talents against Wilkes. Porrecca, incidently , played quarterback vs. Wilkes. The clincher though was the defensive back of the year - Herb Nauss of Albright. We must consider, however, one drawback to the ECAC's selections. They still operate on the assumption that there are only eleven positions on a football team. The standard offensive alignment. Beside these eleven they recognize one defensive back. This leads to situations such as Brinley Varchol being selected to the team as guard when he plays linebacker. Secondly. the team , with an 8-0 record in the MAC had to share honors with two teams with only 5-0 records. It hurts that we had to share the title thus. but the records we re obtained for the most part against the poorest teams in the MAC. Then came the real reward for a fine season - the Lambert Bowl selection. The Colonels received the first such award last year and it seems that an 8-0 season would be enough to retain it. But the Touchdown Club of New York. who selects the winners, felt that Wagner ( a New York team) was more deserving. Of course none of the selectors saw Wilkes play, or for that matter probably none saw Wagner either. The Colonels' last hope was an invitation to the T ange rine Bowl. Morq ai. State. defending champions, were almost assured of a choice to defend their title after going undefeated again. The second choice went to West Chester. This was probably a wise choice because West Chester was undefeated and nation;i.lly ranked. Besides, they are a larger school than the College and would insure the financial success of the Bowl. In the end Morgan State declined and the University of Tennessee (at M a rtin) was selected. Thus ended the season of the best team in Wilkes' history. Who wi ll ever know that it was the best season? I blame poor press relations as the r<>a~o n - poor relations with someone in the powerful New York Press. The ECAC is based in New York, as is the Touchdown Club and that "Supreme Being" called the Ne w York Times . The team 's last salvation lies in the MAC selections. Hopefully, those who choose the teams will be objective in their selections and choose the best players. At least the MAC chooses an offensive and defensive team and is not, thankfully, dominated by New York interests. Athlete of the Week HERBERT KEMP Dialogue [Con'd. from page 1] male students are housed in the New Men 's Dormitory, the YMCA, and the Hotel Sterling. Gore returns At this point Dr. Farley interjected that next semester Gore Hall would again become a men 's dorm ; the women presently housed there will move to the newly acquired Bedford residence. Dean Ralston also stated that the small residences formerly occupied by men had been an ideal living experience incorporating the best features of fraternity life without the exclusiveness or snobbery of social fraternities. He said that this condition created an esprit de corps in the men. The Beacon honors sophomore forward Herbie Kemp as its first Athlete of the Week for the winter season. The strapping 6'3" forward 's performance in the first two .games must definitely be noticed and plauded. Kemp scored 23 points against both E -town and Ithaca and also garnered 19 rebounds in each game. Against the taller Blue Jays, Kemp simply outclassed the defense with his drives and scoop shots. It was a repeat performance at Ithaca a night later as Kemp was the only consistent gun in Coach Rainey 's arsenal. Kemp has proven he is definitely one of the young stars of the MAC. It will be interesting to note the forward's development when some of the more experienced MAC teams start to apply the pressure. It is almost safe to assume that the native from Abington High School, Abington, Pennsylvania will come through in the same manner. The Beacon wishes good luck to Herb and the entire Colonel sq uad for the remainder of the season. -NOTICEDr. Kay of the Philosophy and Religion Department has announced that all students interested in forming a Philosophy Club may meet wtih him on Thursday, December 14, at 4 p.m. in Stark 116. by Chuck Lengle The Colonel cagers opened up their '67 -'68 MAC season last Friday night as they conquered the heavily-favored Blue Jays from Elizabethtown College. All -around team effort and desire were easily cited as the major reasons for the Colonels ' early-season upset, 82-75. Kemp and Ryan big guns Herbie Kemp and Bo Ryan, who scored 23 and 21 points, respectively, were the big guns in Coach Ron Rainey's attack as every Colonel played an important role in the victory . Kemp was tremendous off the boards and his 19 rebounds set a personal college high. This figure is even more astonishing when it is considered that E-town has a 7'0" center and a 6' 10" forward battling for the rebounds. Ryan was in the right spot throughout the game and was always on the beam with his accurate passes. These two were the individual stars. However, the other five men cannot be overlooked. Roh O ckenfuss, inferior in height at a mere 6'6", finally exhibited his temper a5 he scored eleven points and gathered in eleven rebounds in an exC<'llent performance. Senior Jimmy Smith was double-teamed most of the evening and this might explain his low output of nine points. Freddy Bauer came off the bench in tense situations and nisplayed the coolness of a seasoned veteran as his contribution to the team 's conquest. The dynamic duo from Montrose, Jay Reimel and Billy Grick. were sensational as they dominated floor play wi th timely steals, goals, anrl pass interceptions. Stage comeback Down 26-12 in the first half, the Colonels forced th e E-town cagers into numerous mistakes and left the floor on the short end of a 39-37 count at halftime.

Kemp, and Ockc-nfuss sank Pve consecutive goals to stretch the Wilkrs lead to 69-59. At this point in the game, E-town Coach Bill Garrett substituted for his "niants" and wrnt to his small squad. The switch of personnel seemed to have little effect a.s th e back-court combination of Ryan , Malleteers insuperable Bo Ryan displays his shooting ability as he hooks the ball over the out-stretched arm of Bill Wenger (54). Trailing in the play are Blue Jays' Ed Means and Don Sellers. Grick, and Reimel spelled the difference. Captain Smith and Kemp fouled out of the game within 30 seconds of each other ( with 3: 14 remaining) and their absence could have spelled defeat. Coach Rainey dug into his bag of tricks and elected to go with three guards (Grick, Ryan. and Reimel) , Bauer and Ockenfuss. The three speedburners dribbled the ball through the rntire Blue lay team at times and the game ended with Grick at the foul line. Bob Garrett stated: "We won 't meet a better team effort all year. This is definitely a strong ball club: they knew what they had to do and they did it.

The half ended with the Bombers out in front once again by the score of 35-24. The second half was a continuation of the first and gradually the Bombers' lead began to increase steadily. It was evident that the tremendous desire and hustle of Friday's game was beginning to take its toll. With eight minutes remaining in the game, Coach Hugh Hurst began to substitute freely . The reserves kept up the constant pressure and the hot shooting and as the final horn sounded, the men from Ithaca had clinched their second win in as many nights, 83-52. The Bombers shot 75 per cent from the floor, hitting on 34 of 45 shots. Conversely, the Colonels could only hit on 23 of 66 shots for a lowly 38 per cent.

Agency Director Jack Vaughn said Peace Corps volunteers have lost about 60 deferment appeals before the Presidential Appeal Board - the court of last resort for draft classification - in the last six and one-half years. While adverse rulings by the national board have involved less than one-half of one per cent of the estimated 15,000 drafteligible men to have served in the Peace Corps, ··virtually all of these have occurred in the past year," Vaughn said. The vast majority of Peace Corps volunteers are granted deferments for two years of overseas duty because their service is deemed by their local boards to be "'in the national interest," as recommended by Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, draft director.

Student Government began the initial phases of Constitutional revision yesterday when members of the Constitutional Convention assembled in the gym. Judy Simonson, chairman, emphasized to the committee members that '"we have to keep in mind the practical problems of the students; we must provide a place for voicing of student opinion, and we must provide a government which will give the students a real experience in government activity." Following her introduction the chairmen: of the three committees were presented: Katie Eastman, chairman of the senate committee; Tom Kelly, chairman of the executive committee: and Carl Siracuse, chairman of the student court committee. Each chairman gave a summary of his respective committee. The committees will meet separately, and attendance will be taken at each meeting. If a delegate is not properly representing his class, then the class has the privilege of replacing him. Each committee will have a secretary to take the minutes of each meeting and post them on the bulletin board at the Commons followi~ each meeting. At the end of the convention the minutes of all of the committees will be bound. Within each committee a two-thirds majority is required to decide a dispute. However, in the con- vention, a required. civil majority will be The tentative date for completion of the Constitution is Friday, March 1. The Constitution will then be given to Student Government, the students, and Administration for final approval. .If approved the Constitution will be effective in early April.

Implications ol God is Dead bring overwhelming reaction The Death of God Colloquium on Thursday, November 16, in Stark Hall provided a lar.ge crowd of faculty and students with a discussion of the theories and implications of the God is Dead Tlieology. Sponsored by the Department of Philosophy and Religion, the colloquium featured addresses delevered by Dr. Stanko Vujica, Dr. Stanley Kay , Dr. Roy E. Williams and Dr. Abraham Barras. Dr. Vujica, who made the introductory remarks concerning the format of the program. stated after the colloquium that the overwhelming response to this affair assured the holding of at least two more programs of this type before the year's end. In his remarks, Dr. Vujica explained the origins of the God is Dead Theology in Nietzche's Tlie Gay Wisdom. Nietzche stated that "'God is dead. God is dead and we have killed Him. Churches are the tombs and monuments of God." From Nietzche's theories came Dietrich Bonhoffer's concept of '"Religionless Christianity." Bonhoffer's theory was that man has come of age and lives as though God does not exist. Christianity can also function as if God does not exist and religion can be secularized. From these theories and others, Dr. Vujica continued, comes the contemporary Death of God Theology. This new theology has raised questions for the philosopher. Dr. Kay began his address by asking some questions fundamental to the new theology. He stated that the emotional impact of the problem dnrws people to the question and that it seems to reflect a trend in current society. The statement "'God is dead'" presents a logical dilemma, according to Kay, because it combines a physical and metaphysical concept and equates them. This is impossible. The problem facing the philosopher is to define the terms of the proposition and, having done this, to prove their relationships to the society. Dr. Roy E. Williams was the next speaker and outlined the ideas of three contemporary theologians who express divergent aspects of the God is Dead Theology. Paul Van Buren, stated Dr. Williams, has proposed that the word "God"" is either meaningless or mis-leadi~; and the essential meaning of the Christian Gospel can be asserted without the use of the term '"God." The second contemporary theologian discussed by Dr. Williams was William Hamilton. ""For Hamilton, God is dead as need-fulfiller and problemsolver." To Hamilton, God was not necessary as a problem-solver; but, it is still possible to be a Christian. For Thomas Altizer, the last of the contemporary theologians considered by Dr. Williams, '"God killed Himself for us. He so totally poured Himself into creaturely existence that He ceases to have any independent life of His own;" to Altizer, God is dead but Jesus lives. Recalling some of the questions raised by Dr. Kay, Dr. Williams feels that the ··central affirmation of the death of God comes perilously near to being sheer absurdity and contradiction." To talk about the death of God is to presuppose knowledge about the ""heart of the Eternal" and to contradict and offend the very basis of rational thought. Concluding the program after a question and answer period, Dr. Bar• ras summarized the discussion and added his analysis of the Death of God Theology. The new theology, In his explanation represents a concept as revolutionary as the concept of the theologians who first proposed that the Bible is not to be interpreted literally. �Page 2 THE ~dit,,-iol Friday, December 1, 1967 Letters lo the Editor Me, me, me, me, me How can it be possible for you - a Wilkes College student - to spend sixteen of your better years of life in an educational environment and never once have to think? How do you look at yourself in the mirror at night knowing that you have passed another day in complete sterility? How can you hope to function, let alone survive, in today's complex society when you have spent sixteen years regurgitating only that information hurriedly memorized the night before an examination? How, dear student, do you plan to spend the remaining years of your life . .. in a framework of complete boredom, anti -intellectual activity, and total uninvolvement? If your present status is any indication of your future activity, you will die never having done anything for anyone but yourself. You, dear student, are selfish! Some of you will graduate with honors: Cum-, Summa-, or Magna Cum Laude; others will receive cash prizes for outstanding academic work; several of you will be named to "Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities;" and many more of you receive a letter at the end of each semester complimenting you on your ability to master the system and attain the rank of Dean's List. But how few of you really deserve these honors; your sole purpose is to strip from the college, from your professors, from the books and articles you scan only that knowledge which will give you a high mark, throwing the balance away as waste material. Can you really be so insensible to believe that information that gives you high marks is the only worthwhile aspect of college? A great many of you will spend a great number of hours running up and down a football field, a basketball court, or lying on your back during the "Rose Bowl of Wrestling," etc. For this exercise, you will be awarded a pretty letter (W), a goldplated trophy, and a piece of paper to hang over your television set at home, plus a great many aches and pains. And, yet, very few of you are willing to give to others a fraction of the time the rest of us spend yelling and screaming encouragement for your success. Does your P-R-1-D-E extend to only your own selfish interests? Some of you are listed on the membership rolls of one of the more than thirty-five clubs on campus, the Council of Club Presidents, the Inter-Dormitory Council, or, maybe, even Student Government. Most of you who join need this membership to maintain your scholarship; how easily you forget the resopnsibilities after the first meeting of the year. A few of you spend several weeks each year telling the rest of us how you're going to change things around here . .. and get elected to Student Government, not because the rest of us really believe you but, simply, because we don't care. On two recent occasions, dear students, you ably conformed to your true colors. After years of gripes and groans over the assembly programs, less than two hundred of you bothered to attend the concert by the Philadelphia Piano Trio on Thursday evening, November 16. And, on Monday, November 20, while most of you spent the day cemented to your chairs in the cafeteria or frantically copying every word spit out of your professors' mouths, about one-fourth of your fellow-students took the time to elect forty members to the Student Constitution Revision Committee. To be sure, it is surprising that five hundred of you could take the time from your other pursuits to cast your ballots. But, where were the vast majority of you; where were you - the honor students, the letter-wearing sport buffs, the scholarship-minded club members, and the status seekers in common? Does your selfishness to yourself and to the rest of us mean that you don't care who governs student affairs? The Student Constitution Revision Committee has been charged with the responsibility of creating out of nothing a viable body of laws for your college interests, dear student. Yet, you have definitely indicated time and time again that you don't really care what this committee does so long as your own narrow interests remain undisturbed. BEACON Dear Editor: For the first time since my entrance into this college two years ago, I have witnessed active student concern on a major national issue. This, in itself, I And enlightening, however, the path which this concern took last Thursday (Nov. 9) evening certainly must be looked upon as frightening. The occurrence to which I refer being the opposition (by the fired up students and townspeople) to the peace advocates who silently expressed their feelings on public square in what almost broke into uncontrollable mayhem at the pro war rally. The supporters spout about American patriotism yet they attempt vengence against those who dissent the present American policy in Vietnam while freedom to dissent and speak out are basic constitutional rights. This is their patriotism? They talk of friends , brothers, and others fighting or dead in Vietnam. Does that form an adequate justifi cation for continued United States involvement? Should we just for.get that the Vietnamese people, even in• nocent women and children, are being slaughtered in far greater numbers in their own country as a result of our insistence to protect our interests there? Shouldn"t we first examine the history of our involvement for justification rather than simply say we should fight for the men lost whether they were right or wrong in the first place? They say we were asked by the South Vietnamese government but is that government representative of the people. They again say, yes, yet approximately 96,000 men deserted the South Vietnamese armed forces last year and 273,000 South Vietnamese have joined the Viet Cong since 1960 ( U . S . Defense Dept. Statistics) . Where is their basis of the desire of the people for our military aid? When I asked many why they turned out and so vehemently against the peace advocates. there emerged a wide range of replies from adversity to long hair and hippies ( a minority of the .g roup) to the need for protection of our prestige abroad. Many were actually quite unsure of what should be done but still turned out in support of those who were in favor of continued U.S. involvement. But even on the minority peace side there were many unsure of why or not understanding many of the issues. The student interest was certainly encouraging but to see it take such a positive vehement form while such great shrouds of doubt and uncertainity remain seems to offset the benefits that should be reaped from such interest. I do hope, however, that these seeds of interest will now continue and redirect themselves along more purposive lines. I would like to see the formation of a forum for responsible examination. understanding, and di scussion of the Vietnamese crisis. This should be composed of all interested members of the student body and on a bi-partisan basis. This group should take into its responsibility the attraction of national personalities to our College as speakers on the subject. As the problem at Wilkes seems to be evolving apathy to understanding or lack of it, I look forward to seeing serious interest generated by both interested sides with central coordination and cooperation. If you were so' anxious to speak out on the square, I hope you will also be ready to turn out in support of such a student committee as discussed here. Steve Kaplan Class of '69 College students for the colloquium on the "God is Dead" theology should prove to those dubious faculty and administration members that intellectual curiosity does exist on this college campus. If given the correct contemporary topics, we, the student body, will make apathy a thing of the past for this college. Respectfully, Ina E. George Dear Editor: Dear Editor: I would like to comment on the old colloquialism, "all talk and no action." Frequently, faculty members are heard bemoaning the lack of cultural interest demonstrated within the student body. We, the students, bear through their vigorous exhortations and, from time to time, even act upon their advice. However, a horrifically meager percentage of our stalwart faculty and administration members frequent such cult,ural campus activities as music recitals, art exhibits, and Cue and Curtain productions. This show of indifference by the faculty is hardly an inducement to the student body. I submit that increased faculty participation in all college functions is prerequisite to student involvement in the college and the community. Sincerely, Linda Snowe Reference was made in last week's Beacon (heard from the herd) to the change in grading at Yale University. I wonder if the student will be under any less pressure to achieve a pass versus high pass versus honors than he would be to achieve an A, B, C, or a 90, 80, or 70; or a 4, 3, 2, I. As long as an evaluation is required, there will be distinctions made which will never be completely pleasing to the one being graded. I might call attention to the fact that the grading system at Wilkes College is not a percentage grading system or a superior, above-average, average, but rather is intended to evaluate quality of performance intended to encourage working for knowledge rather than for the grade. Whenever accomplishment is to be measured, there will be areas of ambiguity since it requires one human being evaluating another. It is almost impossible to clearly measure what constitutes educational p r o g r e s s . Knowledge can be measured but understanding and wisdom cannot be measured. Knowledge is an essential goal of education, however, it is but one step toward understanding and wisdom. When one considers creativity , it becomes obvious that evaluation must be a subjective thing and the faculty member must exercise and re ly upon personal judgement. Such devices as graduate record examinations, medical aptitude tests. law aptitude tests, ad infinitum, are designed to minimize grading differences between institutions and test for the level of knowledge achieved by a student as an individual. Unfortunately , we know. too, the pitfalls of mass testing and the possible dangers of a stereotyped educational system that would teach for tests rather than teach with a view to developing a thoughtful, mature individual capable of exercising the judgments throughout his life that will determine not only his own future but the future of our society and its structures. The real danger in any evaluation of educational practice is the hasty, over-simplification of these problems. They have been, and probably will forever be, subjects of discussion for faculty, administrators, and students as long as education exists. Thank you, Sincerely yours, Francis J. Michelini Dean of Academic Affairs '7th Seal' marks fourth Bergman film Ingmar Bergman, whose inquiries into the nature and state of man have fascinated and provoked t h o u g h t through the lllm media, has once again been selected to have his work presented for viewing at the bi-weekly Coffeehouse Series.

Everhart Museum , Scranton, was the setting recently for the semi-annual showing of jewelry accepted in national competition for "American Jewelry Today." The aim of the exhibit, according to Carl E . Ellis, cura tor of art at the museum, was to encourage the best in contemporary jewelry de sign and craftsmanship. A secondary aim was also to stimulate the purchase and use of such jewelry by the public. Traditionally the Museum Award and th e four Good Design Awards have been given on the basis of individual pieces, but this year 's juror. Mr. Olaf G. Skoogfors, felt that these awards should be made to the craftsmen concerned since each of their entries was of superior quality. Skoogfors is assistant professor of Philadelphia College of Art, and he is an internationally known creative jeweler. Albert R. Paley . Jr., of Philadelphia, received the $100 Museum Award for a most unusually designed pendant. His overall treatment of th e piece tended toward a mechanistic and geometrical design. The four Good Design Awards went to Heikki Seppa of St. Louis, Missouri, for his pierced pin which combined gold and quartz crystal : Stanley Lechtzin of Philadelphia for his unique utilization of silgilt electroformed with amethyst crystal and pearls: Ken Cory of Pullman, Washington, for creatively designed pin of silver, leather and stone; and Velma Dozier of Dallas, Texas, for her treatment of a necklace of gold and pre-Columbian shell beads. During the month-long exhibit, several groups of students from Mr. Anthony Evan.gelista's art classes toured the show and gleaned much from the experience. It is an unusual opportunity for the students of the College to have a national art competition held in the immediate area. In all probability the show was the first national exposure which the 101 and non-art majors had received. " American Jewelry Today" was a good indication of American jewelry tomorrow. The results of contemporary influences were obvious everywhere. Most pieces tend to show me chanical. electrical and geometrical ideas. The a ge of the computer has arrived in jewelry as well. There was little in the show that related to na ture, but perhaps this is an indication of the nature of nature in our age.

Why is the dollar going down the drain 7 An exaggeration, you say? Not really. It may survive the Gallic goldbuy ing spree, but then they may pull the same garbage next year and the year after that and ... . The reason our dollar is even susceptible to this international blackmail i, that we are spending money we don 't have and do not plan on .getting in the foreseeable future. Just some mo re of Lyndon's clear-headed thinking . Of course, a great country like ours could never go broke, could it? Well, once upon a time, kiddies, Great Britain was a great world power, too. They blew the whole deal when they starred myriads of socialist aid and welfare programs that their Intellectual Community was wild about at th e time. Of course, good old Yankee pragmatism would protect us if it were in our power and could do so, but it is not and cannot. Our own "Intellectuals" are in command of much of our money and are all hot over " Wars on ... " and "Operations" and other things that they can point to with pride because they are great from an idealistic standpoint. Unfortunately , when these programs begin to descend to local levels and actual contact with the i::eople they are to aid , they descend in idealism and in honesty, too. All it takes to become an nccutive and resid~t expert on poverty is a membership in the Democratic Party and an in with some influential ward heeler. Our welfare program is an exa mple of how a .good intention can go astray , for it is one of the few government programs that I can think of off-hand that encourages a husband to leave home. It does this because the family can make more money from welfare checks if the father deserts it. It is probable that many husbands, unable to find jobs, have "deserted" their wives after discussing financial matters with them and finding out that he becomes a better father in his absence. acco rding to law.

At first the committee exhibits the prejudices indicative of the backgrounds of its membership, but soon it decides upon an objective analysis of the situation and the result is despair. Try as It may, the committee can find no substitute for war to create a thriving society. Peace in its opinion is a utopian objective too costly an ideal for responsible men to think about . "Lasting peace, while not theoretically impossible, is probably unattaina ble; even if it could be achieved it would almost certainly not be in the best interests of a stable society to achieve it. " Leonard C. Lewin, which may be a pseudonym for John Kenneth Galbraith , William Buckley, Jr, (by his own admission) , or the real author of the book, uses these words to describe the conclusions of a highly secret. extremely prestigious, and wholly fictitious presidential study group. This .group, composed of social scientists, natural scientists, an industrialist, and a literary critic, is the subject of this new bombshell and cause celebre of the literary world. From a condensed version in this month 's Esquire (the book is not yet available in "happy valley"), a yuletide tale of depression and war on earth, ill-will toward men is woven in prosaic committee writ. The tale begins in 1963 when the President called together a special committee to study the consequences to the national environment caused by the settlement of the Cuban missile affair and the big changes being planned in military spending which would close plants, force relocations, and so forth. The question to which this austere The thesis of Lewin's book gives some plausible insight into the evils of our bureaucratic military industrial complex. The expense of maintenance of the military provides the easiest outlet for the country's surplus resources. Even if the Vietnam War should end, the ballistic missile race will supply the need for massive spendings of money and manpower. The plan of the (late) Robert McNamara for an anti-ballistic system can be extrapolated into an infinite system of anti-anti-anti-systems which will devour the Great Society and make us live the life of the Spartans after the Messinian revolts. This altruistic society which has such a high regard for the problems of poverty, the pollution of the physical environment, and civil rights, cannot afford to concentrate its resources on these problems but finds it ignominiously easy to find its way into every possible military conflict.

Coach John Reese is pleased with the grapple rs ' efforts thus far but is very cautious when discussing any expectations for the upcoming season. Last year Coach Reese was besieged with problems such as Al Arnould entering the service after the first semester, Fran Olexy 's untimely injury, and the slow recovery of Joe Kiefer's soccer ailments. The team has dwindled in size but the veteran mentor is quick to point out the high morale and the aggres• siveness displayed thus far. Coach Reese expects a strengthened squad in the second semester w hen a few veterans rejoin the team. Nine lettermen, headed by five MAC place winners, will lead the 30man team into its practice meet this afternoon with the United States Military Academy at West Point. The Colonels traveled to Princeton prior to Thanksgiving vacation and word has it they represented themselves well in a successful scrimmage. Heading the list of lettermen are : co-captain and senior Fran Olexy, w ho competed in both the 177-pound class and the heavyweight division last year. Olexy filled in at heavyweight when Arnould entered the service, won five of six matches, often spotting his opponents 50 pounds or more. Senior Dick Cook, who reigned as MAC champion in the 167-pound class and finished fourth in the Small College Nationals, will serve as the other co-captain. Joe Wiendl, MAC champ at 160 pounds and second in the Small College Nationals, is out for the mat sport again with high expectations to better his record from last year. Senior Barry Gold, MAC runner-up at 177 pounds and sixth in the Small College Nationals, is preparing for his final year of varsity competition. Sophomore John Marfia, who took a third in the MAC at 123: Andy Matviak, who wrestled at 115 and 123 last year; junior Galen Cruse, who wrestled at 137 and 145: senior Joe Kiefer, who also wrestled at 137 and 145: and junior Doug Forde, at 152, round out the contingent of lettermcn. Reese expects the heavyweight class to be bolstered by the presence of Jack Williams, a junior who transferred from the University of Pittsburgh. Williams, who finished second in Eastern Inter-collegiate competition while at Pitt, was forced to sit out last season. Candidates with a lot of potential are Billy Harris, a sophomore who will be eligible in the second semester and will compete at either 123 or 130: a nd Ken H ynes, a freshman, at 123, winner of the Hooper Award for outstanding local high school wrestler. Both are products of Mey ers H igh School. F reshmen out for th e winter sport are: Dennis Vezzera, 145, Baldwin . Long Island ; Larry Phelps, 130, and D an Gennet, 167, both of Binghamton. New York ; Gary Willets, 152, Flanders, New Jersey; Richard Ceccoli, 145, Forty Fort; Richard Barrows, 167, Levittown, Pennsylvania ; and Ron F ritts, 177, Erie, Pennsylvania. Upperclassmen expected to battle it out for the squad include : Bill Staake, sophomore, 145; Don Brugel, sophomore, heavyweight ; Ralph Devane, 177, sophomore ; Steve Foglio, sophomore, 137; Bob Conologue, sophomore, 167: Joe Thunell, sophomore, 145; and Harry Cooper, sophomore, 160. Brinley Varchol has been appointed as the acting freshman coach. Varchol has been a member of the team for three years and he is no stranger to the mats. Four new opponents have been added to the schedule, .giving the Colonels 15 dual meets. The Colonels will host Appalachian State University of Boone, North Carolina, on D ecember 12. Appalachian State is recognized as one of the better wrestling schools in the South and will wrestle Bloomsburg State and Lycoming the same week it battles the Colonels. Kutztown has also been added this year and will travel here for a match on December 14. Other newcomers are the University of Connecticut and the University of Massachusetts. The Colonels will take on these New England teams back-toback the weekend of February 16 and 17. UCon will provide the opposition on Friday evening, and Saturday afternoon the Colonel grapplers take on UMass. The home opener this year will take place on December 12 with Appalachian State. Pitser Soirs, Coup DeGross team supreme with Denbeigh Pitser S oirs and Coup D eGrass ( w ith apo/of.1ies to " Car and Driver" ) I .guess a ll you car enthusiasts have heard our names. We 're the famou s rally team of Soirs and DeGrass, the noted Swedish driver Pitser, and Coup, my French navigator (better known by his nicknam e " Chicken" Coup) . We're the same team that entered the East African Safari Rall y and handed our manufacturer sponsor his first loss in class racing since 1932. Yes, strange as it may seem, o ur Denbeigh lost the Safari that year. The news came as such a shock to th e Earl of Denbeigh that he almost succumbed were it not for the ministrations of his faithful physicians, who injected carrot juice and Schweppes Bitter Lemon directly into his blood stream, the Grand Old Man from the Isle of Aisle might have dropped dead right there on his fabulous hand-sewn throw rug. In spite of this, the competition manager for Denbeigh, "Jolly" Goodwinn Shough, decided to give us one more chance on the factory rally team. Strange to relate, he didn 't seem too concerned over the Earl's recent illness even though he would have been forced to take over the company had the old boy shuffled off his mortal coil. We were notified of his decision <.>arly in November and were presented with a brand new, specially prepared, competition Denbeigh, for entrance in th e hotly contested, under one liter, Grand Touring, Modified Class. This one was set up for European style rallying; its engine was derived from the famous sleeve-valve, T-head, 1066 cc 4-cylinder Super-Chauvinist engine that smashed all records for Class E during the 1932 British Motor Industries Stamina Festival Week runs. Of course it had to be modified slightly to suit our needs - it was destroked to 999.7 cc and had carburetors pilfered from a clapped out Honda 50. These were secured to the block via ram manifolds constructed from garden hose. The special lights were not like ·',ose that appeared on standard rally cars. We used Roy Rog ers flashlights lashed to the front bumpers with bailing wire. (This was because our two amp generator was unable to sustain even our cigarette lighter.) Two weeks later we found ourselves waiting at the airport for ti ckets to Wilkes-Barre to enter the notorious Never Look Back Rally. W e ended up taking a tramp steamer over because four long-haired chaps ahead of us were screaming something about getting ··a ticket for an aeroplane, " and something about not having time "to take a fast train," and we didn 't have time to w ait for that. Arriving at Ertley's used ca r lot, we found th at many students from some institution called Wilkes-on-theSusq uehanna, or something of that nature , were entering the rally . These fell ows seemed intent not on winning but o n imbibing prodigious quantities of Gibbons. Stegmaier and all other manner of delightful brews. W e chortled merrily, knowing that we would have no trouble with these boys, especially since we had 29.5 long-legged horses under the bonnet. The rout instructions were simple to follow and we found ourselves heading into the American equivalent of the outback - I believe it wa~ called Throop. Coup was busy with hi s precision timing equipment, including a sextant and a " tenth of a second" type hour.glass. when all at once he began to gasp at the next average speed we were to maintain - 27.2. That was the top speed of our Denbeigh! We decided to try to win even if it meant putting it to the floor all night. On our travels we came across a chief rival of our Denbeigh , the Amphicar. This one had the letters WNAK embossed on its Ranks and this seemed to indicate that it was a sponsored car set up for the drags. No matter, Coup and I decided to dice it. Both cars reached their top speeds in a matter of minutes but our ability to rev higher (2400 rpm) gave us the victory. We got into many hairy situations on the roads involved in the rally be- cause of the unique handling qualities of the Denbeigh - it is impossible to go in a straight line in the car. However, the 36 turns lock to lock made the car easy to control. After the rally. there was a party where ev eryone sat around drinkin.g Dobre Pivo beer. When the winners were announced we were happy to find tha t we came in forty- seventh out of the 55 entrants, but had won our class. This was the important thing because it gave the Denbeigh Motor Carriage Works .75 points more toward the world manufacturers trophy. There is one interesting note to add after ten or twelve Dobre Pivos (they say " Open other end " on the bottom of their bottles) the Denbeigh seem.~ to handle perfectly. By the way, the Denbeigh Rally Team will enter the " Prestone on Rega rdless Rally " (no kidding . that"s the name) . If you peons want to enter against the "Team Supreme" just get thee hence to Ertley 's used car lot this Saturday. December 2, and enter. Registration fee will be $1.50 for SCCA members and $3 for non-members. There will be a party at the finish . Enter and see if your ca r has enough lachobes to defeat the 29.5 wonder. Captain Jim Smith and Coach Ron Rainey are shown above going over game plans. The Colonels open the season tonight at 8:15 against Elizabethtown. Cagers host Elizabethtown Tonight. the basketball team will open its 21 -game season at the gym , playing host to a tall Elizabethtown squad. The junior varsity will play at 6: 15 p.m. with the varsity contest scheduled for 8:15 p.m. Coach Ron Rainey, in his third year, will be out to make this the best season in recent years. To accomplish this, Rainey will probably begin the season with the following starting lineup: at center, 6'6" sophomore Bob Ockenfuss ; at forwards, 6'3" sophomore Herb Kemp and 6' l" senior Jim Smith; at the guard positions will be Bo Ryan , a 5'11" junior, and freshman Bill Grick. 5'9". All eleven varsity players will see plenty of action. Rounding out the squad are: Dave Peterfreund, 5' 11" junior; Fred Bauer, 6'2" senior; Carl Cook. 6' 1" sophomore ; and freshmen Bill Umback, 6'0", Jay Reimel. 5'11" and Rich Davis, 6'6". against one of the top teams in the MAC. Elizabethtown boasts a 7'0" center and a 6'9" forward. Just for good luck they also ' have a 6'6" forward. The Colonels will be at a tremendous disadvantage and will have to depend on a pressing defense and a fast-breaking offense. Tomorrow night, the Colonels trav el north to Ithaca. The Bombers are always hard to beat on their home court but the Colonels will be out to make it their second victory in a row over Ithaca. Finishing the week, the Colonels will be at home against perennially strong Lycoming. After several outstanding seasons, the Warriors were hard hit by graduation last year. Outstanding this year is senior guard George Young who played high school ball at Ply mouth High School. Chosen unanimously by his teammates as this year"s captain is senior Jim Smith. A resident of Hainna Hall, Smith is a native of Nanticoke where he also starred in basketball. He is a social studies major and plans to teach and coach after graduation. This is his fourth year as a starter, and he should prove to be one of the College·s all -time high scorers. Smith has been second highest scorer for the past three seasons.

James Jacobs, was present at this week 's SG meeting at the College. A meeting between officers of both SG's brought about a decision that there should be reciprocal representation at SG meetings in order to avoid conflicts between the schools in the area of social programming. M1?mbers of SG, in sympathy with the plight of the Debate Society, proposed supporting the club under Intercollegiate Affairs and giving it a date to sponsor a dance. Also proposed was that SG ask the Administration to increase its allotment to cover the Debate Society request. A final motion, proposed by Katie Eastman, was passed through which SG would grant the Debate Society $75 under Intercollegiate Affairs to cover its debate scheduled for this Saturday. Further action will be taken after Thanksgiving. Also discussed at the meeting was the 6-4 representation at the Constitutional Convention. Bill Gasparovic, a dorm student, voiced the opinion that by the very set-up of the 6-4 representation, the dorm students are being put into a minority. He proposed that there should be equal representation with day and dorm students each having five delegates. He stated that as it stands now, SG is a day-oriented organization which does not give the dorm student a " fair shake." He said that SG is not accomplishing its task or else IDC would not have been set up. He said it was recognized by the Administration by the fact that it endorsed !DC. Miss Eastman and Carl Siracuse explained that the 6-4 split was by student population and not day-oriented. Siracuse also stated that SG recognized the ineffectiveness and this was the reason for the Constitutional Convention. He also expressed the opinion that at the convention, dorm students will be able to "air their {!ripes" and this will probably close the gap between the two groups. A vote of confidence was called and the 6-4 representation was confirmed. Paul Wender then stated that it was Pictured are students elected to Who's Who: 1st row, left to right: Judy Simonson, Sharon· Daney, Maureen Flanley, Myrna Brodbeck, Alicia Ramsey; 2nd row: William Bush, Robert Thompson, Fran Olexy, Ned Williams, Robert Brown, and Rodger Brewer; 3rd row: David Frey, George Andresky, John T.

Constitution revision begins; Students nominate delegates At Tuesday"s class meetings the nomination of delegates to the Constitutional Revision Committee was th e main concern on the agenda. The elections will be held on Monday, November 20, in the Commons. The first meeting of the delegates will be held on November 30. Those nomina ted are as follow s: Freshman day students: Francy Arcuvi, Robert Blum , Andy Cecconi, Mark Chamberlain, Bob Davis, Barry DeHaven, Sheila Hogan, Ben Lodeski, Molly MacNamara.

The student organization is constantly being tied up with things like Winter Carnival and Homecoming . Dan Kopen stated that the stir brought about by Zig Pines' letter in the Beacon should have been the work of SG and not the sophomore class. President Joe Gatto agreed and is going to On Sunday, November 26, from 11 arrange a meeting with Dr. Farley.

At the meeting of the sophomore class, President Zig Pines suggested a new system of administration: a tri council in which the Administration would have seven votes, the faculty six votes, and the student body five votes in making decisions. The class dance held recently was declared a success in the treasury report. SG nominations were also held. One representative will be elected at the November twentieth election from among the following: Bill McGraw, John Freund, Barbara C"onzales, Marilyn Aaronsen, Melvin Rogers, and Judy Cobleigh. SG representative Tom Kelly, at the junior meeting, stressed the fact that the dorm students will receive a guaranteed representation on the revision committee. The senior meeting, in addition to a discussion of the Constiutional Revision, involved a discussion of plans for graduation. The students voted to keep the baccalaureate service and a proposal was made for the dates of the ceremonies. J['s begin campaign people are often unaware of the condition. Comparison of vision of one eye with the other is the method used to detect the defect. This is done by optometric examination. Amblyopia is not considered blindness, but with very poor vision the eye may be classed as "legally blind." It is important that amblyopia is detected early in life so proper treatment can be administred. Usually, some kind of temporary patching or covering of the better eye may be employed. -NOTICEREMINDER TO SENIORS Order Your Yearbooks Campaign, November 13-17 Amnicola Office, Conyngham 108 �THE Page2 (Jit,,.itLI BEACON Friday, November 17, 196, • The Time Has [ome Mid-Ea st Critics, Realists, Constructivists, Idealists, arise! Wake the apathetic! Shake the indifferent! The student body constitution, all anchor and no sails, is to be disgarded. A new document, fresh, viable, and contemporary, is to be written. Monday, delegates will be chosen .to represent your views, your concerns, your intelligence. The significance of this event is that if a "new" constitution is to be adopted it will force you to THINK. It will force you to THINK about the role of the student in the College. It will force you to THINK about the basic motives for your being a member of the "academic community" and an equal in the "company of educated men." It will force you to THINK about your relationship with the faculty and the policy-makers in Weckesser Hall. It will force you to THINK about the problems inherent in your relationship with the College, and it will force you to provide some vehicle to cope with these problems. If a constitution is to be adopted that will have any relevance, it will happen only if you, the student, takes the initiative. In the past the student government has functioned primarily as an organizer of activities. Dances, campaigns, dinners, concerts, and elections have kept the social calendar in a whirl. What is needed is a student government that can organize ideas as well as activities. The student body needs an organization that can synthesize its ideas, gripes. and concerns into action. The student needs a forum which will provide a voice and have the power to turn the present concern into concerted effort. What are some of the problems which make the present setup inadequate? What are the areas that the new constitution must tackle? One of the primary concerns seems to be the conflicts within the student body. The relationships between the dormitory students and the commuter students has prevented the present system from welding the campus into a united group. A new student government must have the ability and the power to unite the student body. The controversy has already created a division of opinion as to the rationality of splitting the representation to the convention into dorm students and day students. The constitution must solve this problem before it can deal with the other problems facing the student body. The convention must also tackle the problems that exist in communicating with the administration . The students air their concerns and the administration offers to discuss them. No vehicle exists, however, that can provide an official forum for the two groups to meet. The present constitution has no organization that can meet with the administration or the faculty to exchange information on academic and extra-curricular developments. The problem of finance must also be discussed. A student government should have the power to control the budgets of student activities to assure that this money is spent within a framework compatible with the goals of the student body. The student government must begin to coordinate efforts within student organizations which cause overlapping and result in mediocrity. We have a plethora of organizations offering lectures, films, and concerts which are often in competition with each other. The student elections system should also be studied to provide an equitable system of representation . Are the present representative of the interests which exist in the College? Systems used at other colleges develop a party system, a system of representation with academic disciplines, or a system which represents the activities undertaken by the students. The role of the student judiciary needs definition to insure a constant performance by the student government. The problems facing the convention are numerous, but the student government has thrown down the gauntlet.

SUBSCRIPTION : $3.00 PER YEAR Dear Editor: Having listened to the speech by the Israeli Consul General last week, I could not help noticing the factors that perpetuate the Mid-East problem. Indeed the whole problem lies in misrepresented, misconceived, and, at times, outright distorted historical facts. vain pride and empty arrogance. The Zionists, according to the Consul General, have the right of a home in Israel because of history and prophetic predictions (which might have been pronounced by daydreamers and people who wanted to create a name to themselves, to start with!) On the other hand the Arabs say history is on their side, therefore, they do not want to accept that Israel is a nation. However, there is little one can contest with in the Arab's charge that Israel was created by power politics against the will of the people of the Mid-East except the six hundred thousand Jews living there. The desire of the world to find a special place for the Jews where they can form a nation is not understandable ( and I refute the verdict that it is because some supernatural power dictated!) If the Jews cannot live with other people of the world then there must be something wrong with either the world or the Jews or both. That Israel ever existed as a nation, in the long history of the world. prior to 1948 is an illusion which most thinking people except the Zionists find ridiculous. Even if it had. I cannot see any particular rationale in thinking that af- Colonels lauded ter ten centuries of non-ex istence an Israeli nation should be created. On the Arab side I fail to find concrete historical facts I can show as justifkation for their refusal to accept a nation once established. Their claims, I find, are illusive, if anything. The tree of Zionism has been watered by actions of people like Disraeli, Balfour and the present world leaders. Why did Disraeli ask Queen Victoria for a special place for the Jews? The Queen suggested Kenya to which the prime minister refused. The Mid-East problem will never be solved by frenzied statements and illusive justifications on either side. Neither will conquest do. These measures just perpetuate it. The problems require warm hearts and cool heads which both the Zionists and the Arabs lack. Both sides may claim their actions are based on historical vindication, but the ironies of life are such that apparent bases of justiflcation have become curses. And history has a tendency of favoring the wicked. So the Arab-Israeli problem must be approached with manly foresight and rational judgements. Unthoughtful and spiteful statements and actions in the roster of the UN. in the halls of colleges. or in the streets and state houses in Tel-Aviv or Cairo by supposedly responsible leaders are no solutions. Otherwise we are in for a very long brawl in the Mid-East and I can only look with apprehension that the worst is yet to come. Cyprian Kwilimbe To the 1967 Championship Football Team : On behalf of the Athletic Department, I would like to publicly congratulate you on your outstanding season. We are proud of your winning the championship again, but we are even more proud of the way you won it. Winning is never worthwhile unless something nobler and finer is behind it. The spirit, sportsmanship. attitude, and pride you displayed throughout the season certainly indicated to everyone concerned that you have these qualities behind you. (From what I hear, they may even be heavenly! As you know, that is an inside joke!) The manner in which you won and the way you handled yourself during the season was most commendable. The respect that you gained for and from the students, the faculty, and the community can never be measured, but it will be the greatest award you can ever receive. Being proud and holding our heads high is a wonderful feeling - a feeling that you have and all of us at Wilkes should have. Your efforts, as a football team and most importantly as fine young men. are living proof of what can be done when someone believes in what he is fighting or playing for, whether it be for his school or his country. Again. congratulations for a job well done! John Reese Athletic Director Hearts 'n flowers ' n eggs Dear Editor: In an historic display of patriotism backed by the expediency of our benevolent police force, another of our democratic principles has been vandalized by those who hide their aggressions behind the mask of the "Great Society." We are not stating that our American society is not great, but when a peaceful show of dissent cannot be voiced and becomes the victim of the "well informed" public, the right of free speech becomes a mockery. The stated objective of the rally last Thursday evening on Public Square was simply to support our men in Vietnam. Those who were dissenting held signs which read: " We support our men in Vietnam, bring them back alive. " From the fervor that was evident by the eggs and insults hurled, we .c an safely say that the conservatives connotated that the protestors obviously held opinions in opposition to the present U.S. policy in Vietnam, therefore were considered to be professing anti-American attitudes, and as a relevant conclusion, were justly identified as "dirty Communists." Because of the presence of a few longhaired demonstrators the entire group was also branded a bunch of grubby Hippies ( everyone knows that there is nothing worse than a CommunistHippie) - just another example of the A 1teed (,,. di1Ll,9ue D ear Sir: I would like to comment on the letter (Beacon. Nov. 3) from Zig Pines, Sophomore Class President. Although I did not formulate the ideas therein, the letter was sent with my full knowledge and consent. Rather than a rubber stamp program concerned with trivia, the leaders of the sophomore class have chosen to undertake a program which will deal with areas of concern to them as students of Wilkes College and as citizens of society. This concern is a healthy sign of a maturing student body. Dr. Farley speaking for the administration (Beacon, Nov. 10) invited discussion on issues. I hope that this will be the beginning of a fruitful dialogue. Sincerely, Thomas J. Mizianty Sophomore Class Adviser hasty generalizations which characterize the misconceptions of mob behavior. But what is the constitution of a mob? The mob is usually led by those who are impotent in achieving recognition under ordinary circumstances. Those who blindly follow these demagogical leaders are mindless sheep who express their unfulfilled tensions and aggressions through the displacement of their frustrations on an innocent though socially acceptable scapegoat. It is interesting to note, that one of the mob 's leading protagonists quite obtrusively displayed a " Get out of Vietnam" poster, all semester, up until the evening of the rally when it Lost in the Stars to he presented by Cookie Melnyk The hauntingly beautiful musical, "Lost in the Stars," featuring the Kaleidoscope Players, will be presented for one performance on Thursday at 8 p.m., November 30, at the Center for the Performing Arts. This Kurt Weill-Maxwell Anderson play , said to be "one of the most alive, moving, and beautiful of all musical dramatic pieces," is the second program to be offered by the Concert and Lecture Series at the College this year. Admission is free. Special lighting effects will highlight the beauty and drama of the story. Stage scenery and props will be minimized with concentration on the unusual lighting effects. The play also features an on-stage piano accompaniment and an outstanding choral ensemble. The Kaleidoscope Players, who have produced, adapted, and staged " Lost in the Stars," is a group of ten leading American singer-actors, including Levern Hutcherson and Lucia Hawkins, stars of the musical. Both Hutcherson and Miss Hawkins have had leading roles in "Porgy and Bess" and "Carmen Jones," before joining the Kaleidoscope players. This musical, based on the best-selling novel by Alan Paton, depicts the search of a South African minister for his wayward son. Leslie Adams is the musical director. was noted that its presence was mysteriously absent from his room. And what about our basic American rights? Are the rights to question and protest really existent, or just beautiful eulogisms on ancient parchment? Dem ocracy as a political institution is founded on the premise that there be contending parties or sides to every question. When an orderly dissent is the target for malicious aggression, the basic right to dissent is descrated, and the principles that we are supposedly lighting to institute and maintain in Southeast Asia are being violated at home. We may conclude by offering the following ; "The measure of our falling short is the measure of the patriots duty to dissent. " (J. William Fulbright) . Dennis A . Jones Thomas R. Moretta Dear Editor: The students of the New Men 's Dorm should be congratulated for their tremendous showing in the prowar demonstration. last night. It seems unfortunate that most of them left before the speeches started, but they were busy chasing the "hippies." After all, what right do the hippies have to their opinion, if it doesn 't agree with ours. Those fools don't know what's good for them . They are just lucky that they are not living in a communist country where they would be persecuted for their views (or are they?).

From the outset, it was troubled by Anancial problems, and the association survived only because it allied itself with 20 other student groups to form the International Student Conference. The purpose of the conference was to provide a counterweight for the powerful Communist-oriented International Union of Students. By 1952, the Central Intelligence Agency secretly was providing eighty per cent of the funds of the NSA. The problem of the morality of the NSA's secretly accepting funds came to the surface in February of this year when Ramparts magazine disclosed to the public that the NSA was financially dependent on the CIA. Past NSA officers were involved in the controversy because they all had to pledge secrecy about the CIA's support when they had assumed their offices. The NSA was dealt a death blow by the disclosure, for the immediate reaction of the public was that the organization must have been actively involved in the activities of the CIA. Although thas has not ever been proved. or even fairly well indicated, the issue of the betrayal o f the student's trust was a valid one. The result was that the association lost much of the respectability that it had previously gained. The National Student Association continued for the next fourteen years, growing in its effectiveness as a vehicle for protesting lack of academic and student freedom . During those same years. however, the NSA's role as an example of the democratic process was reduced as the Communist In August, 1967, 1,300 delegates of .studt'nt o rna nizations lost much of the NSA met in College Park, Marytheir power. land, for the twentieth annual congress By the 1960 's, the NSA had almost of the association.

Janoski ,·xhibited a large number of his works and his taste and craftsmanship Auct11ate with each other. In the opinion of this reviewer. his ti ssue and acrylic collages are his most successful pieces. " Johanna," a favor ite of the artist, is a vibrant collage utilizing the interaction of various colored tissue paper. On the other hand, "Memory" uses the same medium to achieve a subtle interplay of color and design to create an excellent work. However, I feel that " ... 1947" and "It's Nice but I Don 't Like the Blue" are of a quality less than that of Jan oski's recent works. They do serve to illustrate his growth. On the whole, Janoski's exhibit shows enormous growth. The artist is searching for new areas of design to express his ever-fluctuating philosophy of art. Next week, Nancy Wiltshire and Phyllis Lukas pool their efforts to produce the first combined Senior Art Exhibit this year. Miss Lukas, who was the supervisor of arts and crafts for the Wilkes-Barre City playgrounds this summer, is a city resident. Miss Wiltshire. from Madison, New Jersey. serves as vice president and acting president of the Art Club on campus. The flavor of the show is contemporary.

Certainly, the scandal of the past year has hurt the organization a great deal, but it seems also that in this decade of the information explosion of electronic media, th e NSA's attempt to represent the students and maintain power over such a diverse group must by its very nature fail. Although the NSA made an attempt to deal with the real issues of student protest in the formulation of its ultimate ineffectiveness; its resolutions cannot be implemented. The NSA must in the end face the impossibility of accomplishing any of the objectives which its member groups embrace. BEACON Puhlicus "Where have all the flowers gone? Long time passing." "Where have all the flowers gone? Long time ago-" ( Popular American Song) The Rower children, hippies , are dead. I can't be sad, though - it was inevitable. The hippies are going home, those who still have minds or who never had minds to begin with anyway. Some can never go home because they live in a candy-colored hell all their own that was the logical end to illogical experiments with marijuana ( not really dangerous ), LSD, often more mind decaying than mind expanding, and the latest in-est killer "speed" or "meth, " with which many hippies refuse to have anything to do. Winter is coming and the Rowers are dying. The climate didn 't kill the hippies; America tried to protect them in a hot house of tolerance that stood up to any of the stupidity their fertile little minds could come up with: the flowers contained the seeds of their own destruction. The hippies thought they could live on the work of other people. They could for a tim e. They killed themselves when they began to think that people owed them something merely because they existed. The hippies professed a love for man , yet they hated anyone who differed with them - they found out real love was not a thing people, even hippies, have in unlimited quantities and that it often takes patience, understanding. and even work, to love.

Romney has the advantages of being from the Midwest and being such a middle-of-the-roader that he really bugs absolutely no one. He is at a disadvantage in that no one can really get excited about him; he seems to suffer from hoof-in-mouth disease and his Mormon religion could be a problem at the polls. The Detroit riots could throw voters either way, depending on their mood in November. His big hope is that the country will want a return to "normalcy." Don't count on his nomination. Reagan does not really want to be president, yet. His plans probably call for his being nominated as vice-president this year. He irritates some Eastern liberals but he is almost sure to be favored in the West and the South and those electoral votes are not to be ignored. Resentment of his being a former actor may prove to be a problem but his popularity will assuredly rise above it. Prediction: Ronald Reagan will be the Republican vice-presidential nominee. Rockefeller is a strong Eastern political power: however, his divorce and his 1964 maverick political stand are sure to hurt his chances. He also seems sincere in his refusal to run. Don't count him out: he could be convinced if there is an honest Draft Rocky Movement and the convention gets deadlocked . then he is the man of the hour. Nixon has the loser image . Too bad. He is an able statesman and is very popular with party regulars. The GOP will want a brand new image for 1968 and it is doubtful that he will be nominated.

In 1966, 516 billion cigarettes were sold and in the past fiscal year alone, 525 billion cigarettes have been sold. The Federal Trade Commission and Congress may require tougher wording on packages or ban cigarette advertising altogether. The American College Health Association has requested that colleges bar the sale of cigarettes on the nation 's campuses to discourage smoking among undergraduates. Maybe Dr. Farley has a good idea in not allowing cigarette vending machines on the College campus. What would happen on the College campus if all students were required to wear a uniform to school?

As far as good grooming, which is required, one rule provides for women's hair to be any length but must have at least one, but no more than seven curls.

Yale University has just changed its .grading system from a numerical 40-100 system with 60 as the paasin'.] grade to a system that categorizes a student's performance as either fail. pass, high pass, or honors. It was pointed out that this would eliminate pressure for grades since there would not be an 89 or 90 to bother people. The one point won 't make much of a difference with the new system and may encourage people to work for knowledge rather than the almighty point. Here at the College it seems as though we are working for the definite grade and not for learning for the sake of learning. Thursday evening, November 9, 1967, an estimated 9,000 persons crowded into Wilkes-Barre's Public Square to express support for our men in Vietnam. Patriotic marches, speeches and songs were provided and a torchlite procession followed. About fifty faculty members and students from area colleges and high schools stood in a group and displayed posters protesting American involvement in -the war. Due to increasing tension and egg-throwing, the fifty were asked to leave "for their own protection," they returned to their campuses for discussions on the war. prise everyone with a dark horse nom ination. Percy may be a personable, young vote-getter, but he is too leftish to be seriously considered and is more than a little inexperienced. Bradley will not run: he has only a foreign policy (no domestic pronouncements. yet) and is not sure if he even wants to be president. He will not be another Eisenhower for the Republicans and his semi-dove views please few. Lindsay will be the Republican nominee. He is the perfect East Coast vote-getter, liberal hut not so liberal as Rocky; he did not rebel against the national party in 1964, and he is not a radical dove. Prediction: Lindsay's wishy-washy foreign attitude will be reconciled to the more hawkish Republicans by a plank stating that If the Republicans win they will have a bombing pause and an attempt to negotiate with anyone. If this fails ( and I doubt, personally, that the Communists will respond) the Republicans will state in their platform that the country will embark on a really ag.gressive war with Hanoi - unlimited bombing and a blockade of Haiphong Harbor. There are two roads to peace, like it or not: a military victory or a negotiated peace. A pull-out will only move the war to a further border. We should learn from Chamberlain that appeasement doesn't work. The Republicans have a good chance for victory in I 968. The odds are probably in their favor.

MILFORD, CONN . iUUJO �Page4 THE BEACON Friday, November 17, 1967 Colonels overpower LV 37-7 by Chuck Lengle The Colonel gridders closed out their second consecutive unbeaten season last Saturday as they trounced the Flying Dutchmen of Lebanon Valley College, 37 -7. This win was the Colonels' eighth straight this season and twenty-first over a three-year period. Incidentally. this is the longest winning streak in Pennsylvania. The victory also enabled the Colonels to repeat for the third time as North ern Division champions of the Middle Atlantic Conference. The first quarter proved to be a disaster and there were considerable doubts of a Colonel victory as the score read 7-6 in favor of LVC. However, the Colonels regrouped and played championship football in the Anal three quarters. Leading the way offensively were Joe Skvarla (84) outstanding Colonel end goes high during second quarter for one backs Roger Beatty, Vince Yarmel, of his seven receptions.

Ever since the switch Jarvela has proven his worth and has teamed with Brinley Varchol. P. J. Kane, and Mike Connolly to form one of the most devastating linebacking corps in the conference. Against Lebanon Valley, Jarvela intercepted a pass and recovered a fumble to stop two Lebanon Valley drives. He was also involved in many tackles.

The Colonels drew Arst blood as Doug Forde took the opening kickoff on the 21-yard line and scampered the remaining 79 yards for the score. Lebanon Valley came back quickly and pushed all the way to the Colonel eight-yard line.

Decker quickly redeemed himself when he took the ball down to the one on a quarterback keeper. Decker then unloaded a fourth-down pass to Denny Tulli good for the score. Early in the second stanza the Colonels displayed excellent ball control on an 80-yard sustained drive. Vince Y armel crashed in from the four to give the Wilkesmen the lead they never relinquished.

Haverford's record now stands at 1-5 while Ursinus' log reads 1-5-1. Wagner maintained its slim lead in the Lambert Bowl b.illoting 78-75, despite their poor showing against Susquehanna.

After last season's dismal 6-15 record. Coach Rainey has nowhere to look but up. Rainey's crew consists of just four returning lettermen and a host of qualifled underclassmen. Returning lettermen are: Bob Ockenfus, 6'6" center with a good. soft shot who should improve greatly with one year's experience under his belt. Bob will have to hit the boards hard this season.

Herbie is probably one of the most improved members of the squad and much weight will be placed on his shoulders if the Colonels' rec ord is to improve. Herbie displays an excellent jump shot and excellent rebounding is hi s forte. Rounding out the squad and one of the most important members of this year's team is Bo Ryan. Bo will be counted on to take up much of the slack that was created when Reuben Daniels, last year's leading scorer. transferred to Cheyney State. To date, Ryan has exhibited an excellent attitude and will have to lead the team in playmaking as well as contribute a considerable amount of the scoring. Among the upperclassmen who have reported for the sport are: 6'2" Fredd y Bauer, a senior with a good shot and excellent rebounding ability: 6' I" Carl Cook. a scrappy forward with an excellent corner shot : 6'6" Bill Klaips. a good shooter with much potential : 5'10" Ken Miller, a southpaw with a good jump shot : and junior Phil Howe, a .guard with a Ane outside shot. Freshman candidates include : Richie Davis, 6'5" star from Plymouth , who has displayed much ability thus far and should develop into a fine ball player: Rich Delvino, 6'1" forward with a good outside shot and adequate speed : Billy Umbach, a 5'11" product :mt of Phoenixville. who has been impressive in workouts with his fantastic accuracy from all over the court. Jay Reimel and Bill Grick, the Ane backcourt duo from Montrose High School, have displayed unusual ability thus far and both should turn in good seasons, for they are Ane playmakers with excellent shots.

XXVII, No. 9 Friday, November 10, 1967 Philosophers examine Student convention to draft ~~~~~d ~!og~~~ !~~~!~!! SG constitutional rev1s1ons • be the subject of a colloquium to be held by the philosophy department, Thursday. November 16. at 4 p.m . in Stark 116. Dr. Stanko M . Vujica, chairman. and Ors. Abraham D. Barras, Stanley B. Kay , and Roy E . WilIiams, members of the philosophy and religion department, will offer brief remarks explaining some of the concepts of this theolo.gy after which a discussion will be held . All students and faculty are invited to attend. Dr. Vujica explained some of the aspects of the '"God is Dead'" theology that will be discussed. The colloquium will try to make clear whether the concept is expressed in figurative or literal terms. He stated that some philosophers hold the view that the '"tra1itional idea of god is fairly dP:-_, .. due to the impact of scientific discoveries. Others say that the God who is now proclaimed to be dead is not the same god that once was believed in and Dr. Vujica suggested that perhaps a different concept of God can exist for today"s society . He further stated that the questions raised by the "Death of God Theology"' are tremendously important. The completely secular society suggested by the acceptance of the "'God is to whether a society lacking any transcendental qualities can exist. Dr. Vujica said that there has never been a society that didn"t have a God. Tracing the evolution of theology from witchcraft, he said that through this evolution the concept of the evil spirit, i.e., the devil, has played less and less of a role in reli(lious theory. Perhaps the concept of God will also play less and less of a role in reli.gion. Dr. Vujica also stated that many philosophers feel that if God is dead, so is man. In the past man has derived his dignity from God. It was Cod who made man '"a little lower than the angels... If the concept of Cod is a myth, may be it is a necessary myth which cannot be replaced with a secular metaphysics lacking the warmth and being unable to provide man with the dignity that theology affords. The members of the philosophy and religion department will bring a varied background into this colloquium . Two of the members have a background in the clergy: Roy E. Williams is a Methodist minister and Abraham D . Barras is the Rabbi of Temple Israel. Ors. Vujica and Kay received their training in philosophy. This colloquium is the first of several being planned by the department. At Monday·s Student Governmmt meeting a committee to advise on the drafting of a new Constitution of the Student Body of Wilkes College was set up and is being chaired by Jurly Simonson . This committee has been divided into three areas: Student Senate, headed by Katie Eastman ; Executive Committee, Tom Kelly; and Student Court, Carl Siracuse. Miss Simonson would like to emphasize that SG is merely setting up the framework for the Constitutional convention: it will have no voting powers. Each class will have ten delegates to the convention. These students will be nominated at special class meetings to be held Tuesday, November 14, at 11 a.m. The senior meeting will be held in Pickering 203 ; junior, CSC: sophomore, CPA: and freshman, gym . Elections will be held on Monday, November 20, in the old cafeteria. The six day and four dormitory students receiving the .greatest number of votes will be the delegates. This ratio was chosen because it most closely represents the proportion of day to dorm students presently enrolled in the College. Students at the polls may vote up to ten people. Re[ital to open assembly The Philadelphia Piano Trio will perform November 16 at 8 p.m. at the Center for the Performing Arts. This is the Ii rst presentation in a Concert, Recital , and Lecture Series which Dean Ralston has announced as a part of the new assembly structure.

Owen Ireland History Department Dear Editor: About two days ago, a stranger entered my room at Sterling Hall and complained to me that my curtains were too flashy and needed to be lined in champagne color. I was about to show him the door when I saw a billy club in his right hand; then I reconsidered. After this stranger realized that he had me in his place, he told me that I should keep my shades drawn during the day because this looked more presentable from the street. Since he seemed to be such an intelligent person I asked him if he knew how to fix plumbing and wiring, or how to paint walls. He excused himsetf by saying it was time for him to inspect some more window shades, and left. After this encounter, I decided to burn my curtains and tear down my shades in order to offend no one including myself.

Manuscript limelights rrench lilm "The Red and the Black," a film based on Stendahl's classic romantic novel, will be the Manuscript's feature this evening at 7 and 9 p.m. in the Center for the Performing Arts. Stendahl"s great novel, a classic of romantic literature, has been translated into a screen version hailed by critics as one of the all-time masterpieces of French cinema. Critics have stated that Director Claude Autant-Sara has admirably caught the flavor and essence of the novel and mounted it in a stunning, opulent production. Gerard Philipe (as Julien Sovel, ambitious son of a provincial carpenter), Danielle Darrieux ( as Louise De Renal, the married woman with whom he has his first affair) , and Antonella Lualdi ( as the beautiful, arrogant heiress Mathilde De La Mole) give brilliant performances. Stendahl's work - one of the flrst psychological novels - is more than the story of an opportunist's career: it is also the story of class society in nineteenth century France, which offered few opportunities for an "outsider" to rise above his background. Had Julien Sovel been born earlier, he would have become a soldier in Napoleon's army (hence " the red" in the title) ; instead he was compelled to aim for the priestly cassock (hence "the black'") . Beginning as a tutor in the household of the Marzov of Verrienes, he is humiliated by the Marzov who constantly reminds him of his subordinate position. Utilizing the friendship of the Marzov·s wife, Madame De Rena, he becomes her lover. Forced to leave the household or be publicly humili ated, he enters a seminary with rigid discipline to study for the priesthood. Then, introduced to a wealthy Parisian household as a secretary, he experiences luxury but again is not allowed to forget his humble origin. Partly in revenge for the many insults to hi s pride, he seduces the daughter, Mathilde De La Mole. His exposure by his first lover, Madame De Renal, who denounces him before his intended marriage, induces him to make an attempt on her life. Sentenced to death for this, he asks neither leniency nor forgiveness, but attempts to make his own peace with his conscience. The New York Times reviews the film as "A fascinating job. 'The Red and the Black ' is most exquisite and intriguing ... this high-powered screen translation of Stendahl's searching and cynical romance ... is a visually stimulating show. The production is elegant . . . the atmosphere is excellent . .. the dialogue glitters with wisdom and wit.:' The film has been awarded the Grand Prix of the Academic du Cinema, 1954.

SUBSCRIPTION: $3.00 PER YEAR Beat Lebanon Valley Constitutional Convention �Friday, November 10, 1967 THE Page 3 BEACON Ghost ol Tunalish beast Dr. Hayes ioins the biology dept. haunts the ''Seaview''! Once upon a time there was a movie called "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea." It was no "Birth of a Nation" but neither was it a "Beach Blanket Bingo." The cast included Walter Pidgeon (the author of Statues l Have Known) and the late Peter Lorre, both actors of considerable talent. It also "featured" Frankie Avalon, but then you can't win them all. This movie was based on a plot that was science Action but was, nonetheless, believable and almost totally devoid of monstors (with the possible exception of Mr. Avalon). predecessors. Frankie is gone and perhaps this proves that all bad things come to an end. Many members of the cast were added after the show had set sail and you know what can happen when you have bred your cast on troubled waters. To illustrate the program's stupidity, here is a typical episode. This movie made a good profit at the box office and should have ended there - so that it could be later sold to television for Late Shows and to small theaters for Saturday Afternoon Matinees, but this was not to be. Irwin Allen, the movie 's producer, decided to save all the sets, costumes and footage of the "Seaview," the atomic submarine of the future that was the real star of the movie, and use them to make even more money. But how ? It was diffi cu lt to figure out a sequel like "Son of the Seaview" or "Voyage to the Top of Hunlocks Creek " that would make any sense at all. It was even harder to use an atomic submarine in a stag film, but with enough thought I'm sure Irwin would have arranged something . Suddenly, the idea struck him like a bolt out of the blue he would add about a ton of sand to the "Vast Wasteland" and use his leftovers to make a television show. Like most leftovers that have been reheated, the results aren't too appetizing. Richard Basehart does a good job, all things considered. He has taken over Walter Pidgeon 's role in the movie and has modified it to his personality. As for the rest of the cast, the y are there. and I will leave it at that. David Hedison takes his part from Robert Sterling and he suffers when his acting is compared to his " Uh-uh. So what's the important news?

I didn't stick a round Most of the other homes are from fifty for the rest. to eighty years old and about four percent are even older. Representing an outmoded way of life, the houses of Wilkes-Barre , as Good contends, are not attracting newcomers. He compares the housing with a horse-drawn surrey - even complete with a fringe on top. They are both remnants of by.gone times. WilkesBarre needs on a large scale the type of home re presented in House and G arden . A supply of these homes, new and exciting, yet available to the middle class family, would attract sufficient industry to prime the monetary pump which would gush forth further new housing. Adequate housing can be achieved in Wilkes-Barre, Good s ta ted, if a housing plan is utilized which provides a natural supply of decent homes at low rents. To do this , it can make use of its housing authority which does, however, have a large supply of old but good homes to work with. In addition to this housing , more modern and desirable homes can be provided for middle class families: ' a nd lu xury homes and apartments can be provided for upper income-level families. These provisions can be made by WilkesBarre ·s redevelopment authority, which can start planning now by acquiring the many available sites throughout the city. by Sandra Vici A new member of this year·s biology department is Dr. Hay es, who is a lso new to the teaching field. Dr. Hayes received his doctorate from Lehigh University in 1965, and he spent the physiology to isolate nerve receptors a nd study processes. He discovered an orga n that was sensitive to the horseshoe crab's walking movements and re-interpreted how its nerve cells in taste w ere organized to play their physiological role. Dr. Hayes chose Wilkes because he felt that it has a strong biology department for undergraduates, and also because it is in the process of making graduate courses in biology available. He feels th a t the teacher-student relationship is something that keeps changing as the studen t increases his competence, a nd. as a student advances to graduate studies, the relationship can then be a partnership where both student a nd teacher attack new problems on an equa l basis. DR. HAYES following two years at Yale University doing full -tim e research under a National Institute of Hea lth Fellowship.

He stated tha t it would be unfair if he personally passed judgement on these individuals or people who use other types of avai lable drug s.

The assembled community leaders were provided with some background information for the discussion by William A. Good, chief of the Pennsylvania Housing and Re development Division, who explains in his publication, The Housing Problem: Fact or Myth ?, that Wilkes-Barre's chief housing problem is that its houses are too old to mee t the expectations of a modern generation of home buyers. Mr. Good explained that even though most of the houses in WilkesBarre are well cared for, they are old. Census statistics show tha t only three percent of Wilkes-Barre's housing is considered as structurally dilapidated ; only nine percent is considered as deteriorated ; and those houses without some plumbing or sanitary installations total only fifteen percent. Most of the houses in Wilkes-Barre have been provided with heating and plumbing: their rotting wooden porches and windowsills have been replaced; and their roofs a re in good condition. Since 1930. however, the number of new houses in Wilkes-Barre amounts to less than ten percent of the city's total.

The hooters have tied Moravian, 3-3; Dickinson, 2-2; Lycoming, 1-1 ; and now Hofstra, 0-0. After regulation time the Middle Atlantic Conference game went into two overtime periods, but after ten minutes of play neither could score. As they have done all season, the Colonels controlled the ball and completely outplayed the opposition but also again were unable to get the ball into the net. The Colonels had 46 shots while holding Hofstra to 25. The Neddoffmen suffered a setback when leading scorer Rick Beck, the left wing. sustained a leg injury in the opening minutes of the second half and had to sit out the rest of the contest. This might have been the difference in the contest. The hooters have a record of four wins, one loss and four ties with two games remaining. Wednesday they played a stronger than usual Harpur squad. Saturday they finish the season with a conference game at Susquehanna. The Colonels beat Susq uehanna last year, 6-0, and are looking for their fourth MAC win.

Athlete of the Week The Beacon sports staff has gone ,.... against its policy in selecting a person twice as " Athlete of the Week." However, Joe Wiendl's record-breaking performance against PMC cannot be overlooked. The familiar No. 44 streaked across the goal twice, establishing two records in the process. In the third quarter, Joe intercepted a PMC pass and ran it back 56 yards for a touchdown. Then later, in the fourth period, he gathered in another PMC pass on the ten-yard line and ran back 90 yards for another touchdown. This one set a College record for the longest touch down run with an intercepted pass and gave him the career high for pass interceptions with twelve. Joe also has Vince Yarmel, Colonel fullback is stopped after a ~hort _gain against PMC. The powerful Junior amassed 78 yards on 25 carries and scored one touchdown. JOE WIENDL two touchdowns on punt returns this year. Anytime he gets his hands on the ball , you can expect lots of action , even if its holding the ball for field goals. /JtiJcell111recuJ DOOOOOOti™XXXJlXXkXXJUOi Last week, the women 's hockey team finished its season with a 3-2 record. Wilkes defeated Moravian, 2-0 ; Albright, 1-0; and College Misericordia, 4-0, losing to Susqeuhanna twice with scores of 2-0 and 1-0. Co-captains of the team are Estelle Andrews and Donna George. Members include Jane Millen, Dorothy Eck, Renee Mucci, Joan Brobyn, Tessie Cushner, Barbara Wright, Candy Cates, Joan Filsinger, Mary Ann Ryan, Sue Cannell . and Sandy Strevell. Coaches of the women's team are Mrs. Doris Saracino and Miss Sharyn Lyons. ea rly in the second quarter. Joe Zakowski tallied the score on a 14 ya rd rollout. Bill Staake converted and the Colonels led 7-0, The balance of the first half was all Wilkes defense as PMC gained but four yards rushing on 18 attempts and did not complete any of four pass attempts. PMC failed to garner a first down in the first half and were held to three in the entire game. After Wiendl's first interception and Staake ·s conversion, the Colonels led 14-0, Early in the fourth period, Dave Mancini fumbled a Staake punt on the C adet three yard line and Barry Davenport pounced on the loose ball. Vince Y arm el hit the middle of the line three straight times. scoring on th e last plunge. Staake missed the placement due to a strong cross wind. This set the stage for Wiendl's record-breaking run and after Staake again converted, the Colonels were on top 27-0. Nominated by both schools for Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference honors were: Vince Yarmel, who gained 78 yards on 25 carries and one score ; Bill Layden, junior tackle who was credited with eight tackles and eight assists; sophomore Geor.ge Conway, who had an outstanding da y at offensive center, and of course, Wiendl. w ho was chosen as the outstanding defensive back of the game.

The Colonels should beat Lebanon Valley to end with an 8-0 conference record. Wagner has . two MAC games remaining, an easy contest with Susquehanna and a tough game with rival Upsala. They should finish with a 5-0 record. Juniata has onl y to beat Moravian tomorrow to {lain a 5-0 MAC record. It is unfortunate, but the MAC title is decided on a percentage basis only. The only requirements are that a team play a minimum of five MAC games, three of which must be in the team 's own division. There is also no provision for a playoff. In the Lambert Bowl race, the Colonels slipped a little on the strength of Wagner's 23-7 victory over a strong Springfield team. The Seahawks now have 78 votes while Wilkes has 73. It is felt that as long as Wagner remains unbeaten they will be voted the Lambert Bowl. The most unfair fact about the voting is that the selectors don't see the teams on whom they 're voting. The selectors cannot be from the same area as a possible recipient. Most of them depend on statistics to make their selections and it is here where Wagner looks better than Wilkes. Think Haverford's misfortunes ended with their loss to Wilkes, 69-0? Last week, time stood at Haverford Colle{le-not for a sit-in or teach-in but for a stand-up. It happened right after the Fords' opening kickoff to Franklin and Marshall. While the ball was in the air, the F & M band suddenly broke out with the Star-Spangled Banner. The Fords' Pete Batzell caught the kickoff and began to run it back as the crowd rose for the national anthem. Leaving the ball lie on the one yard line, where Batzell had fallen on the wet turf, players on both sides took up erect postures. They remained motionless until the end of the anthem. For Haverford's benefit, the band could have played a ll day. Franklin and Marshall won 47-0. Girls Hockey ends season by Chuck Lengle Two pass interce ptions by Joe Wiendl. coupled with a sparkling eff ort by the Colonels defense led the College to a 27-0 victory over PMC last Saturday at Chester. The triumph ran Wilkes ' victo ry skein to 20 straight. Wiendl broke the tight contest wide open when he intercepted a Steve Pahls pass at his own 44 and ran it back 56 yards for the TD. Wilkes was leading 7-0 at the time, as a staunch, upset-minded Cadet defense proved tough. The second interception , a 90yard return, established a new Wilkes record for a TD runback of an intercepted pass. The previous record was held by Al Nicholas, who returned an erran t pass 75 yards again st Lycoming in 1949. Wiendl also se t a new career high for the College w ith 12 interceptions with one season of cliqibility remaining .

" Last year, the Colonels were triumphant over L V when Joe Zakowski lofted a sixty yard desperation pass to Paul Purta {IOOd for a score and the victory - with one second remaining on th e clock. Undoubtedly Coach Bill M cHenry will not permit his charges to forget this unbelievable feat, and he will be pointing for a big upset tomorrow afternoon at th e Lebanon High School Stadium . M cHenry's teams are always small , but aggressive and display a "neversay-die" attitude. At the helm of the Dutchm en attack is junior quarterback Bruce Decker, a scrambler and an excellent passer. In last week's 14 -7 loss to Albright, Decker put the ball in the air 32 times. Rounding out the backfi eld a rc Tony DeMarco, a rough back with plenty of savvy and Taki Bobotas, a speed demon who thrives on desire. The LV offense was dealt a crippling blow earlier this season w hen John Fasnac ht, an excellent fullback and flne hlocker, was injured in an 18- 16 vic tory over Drexel. Denny Tulli and Greg T eter, a pair of fine receivers, will man the end positions. Tackle and co-captain, Pete Giraffa is the stalwart on the Valley line playing both ways. The defense is led by " monster back " Frank Torre and backs G ene Shaffer and Terry Light. This is the last game for both schools and will prove to be the Anal hurdle for the Colonels' drive for the Lambert Bowl and a possible bid to the Tangerine Bowl.

XXVII, No. 8 Penn hOsts Wilkes Nork proposes standards Recently a clinic for debaters in their first year of college debate was held at Lehigh University, Bethlehem. The College was represented by sophomores: Charles Smith,' English; Jim Barnes, biology; Clyde Ostrosfski , biology; and freshman Kurt Schul, economics. Mr. Bomboy, debate adviser, commented that in college debating the debater does not debate before an audience. The purpose is to stimulate thinking. not create public speakers. The only audience is the judge and the opposing team. A new approach to debate is now being offered. The club is being limited mainly to freshmen and sophomres, and dorm students are especially welcome. This is 'being done to create elan in the group and revitalize the program. Tomorrow, the first debate is sched- uled with the University of Pennsylvania. The National Intercollegiate Debate Society topic will be debated by clubs nationwide. The topic is Resolved: That the Federal Government should guarantee a minimum annual cash income to aU citizens. This debate is for first-year varsity debaters to give them practice. There will be no awards or official winners. Representing the College will be Daria Petyo, Jim Barnes, Clyde Ostrosfski, and Kurt Schul. Tournaments with Harpur, Temple, University of Scranton and Iona College have already been scheduled for before Christmas. Any interested students can contact Mr. Bomboy on Tuesdays at 11 a .m. in his office in the rear of the Beacon office in Conyngham Hall. Lecturer demands end to conservatives' war " Unilateral withdrawal from Vietnam " was the subject of a lecture held Monday evening, October 30. Professor George Phillips of the City College of New York was the guest speaker: Dr. Donald Buzinkai of King's College was the moderator. Phillips' thesis was that our involvement in Vietnam is no accident, that the for eign policy of the United States is controlled by conservatives. By tracing the re-establishment of conservative power since World War II, he outlined the conservative-encouraged polarization of American and Russian ideology and its destruction of global unity. Through this process, the words communist and anti-communist become synonymous with the values of evil and good. Any differing opinion became unpatriotic. Thereby, the powerful conservJ3tives. mainly from the Southern states, began pourinQ into defense. foreign aid. and th e CfA, money which . it is now apparent. has been wasted . Phillips sugges ted that th e coalition of conservatives today uses the same tactics of th e Southern conservatives of the nineteenth century. They have created a monster out of communism and labeled those opposing their viewf'Oint as un-American and unpatriotic. The CCNY professor continued by stating that those who try to oppose this militant anti-communism are on the defensive because they must spend time proving their patriotism rather than discussion of the logic of our for,•iqn policy. After WW l'I, a policy of militant a nti -co mmunism terrorized and silenced all -liberals; China "bands" were forced out of the government because their views were considered threatening to the conservative position. Although r,ersonal income taxes rose and the domestic budget had to be cut, neither the Department of Defense, foreign aid , nor the CIA suffered any loss of finance s. Rather, welfare funds needed to develop the U .S . were sliced. The ruling conservatives never tried closing tax loopholes. nor did they men tion how they could decrease corporate income taxes. There was an expansion of the military, the ally of the conservatives, which was built into the American economy.

The situation is also important in determining what type of leadership is best, and in most situations a combination of the -two will be· effective. Most work situations hold great possibilities for successful participative leadershi p, and the modern trend is toward this system. In summing up his seminar, Mr. Nork gave what he considered the guidelines of what makes a successful leader. They are: I. Superior knowledge - a leader must know his job completely . He must be a source of authority. Real leadership is a measure o'f competence. 2. Team man - identi'fles with his boss as well as with his followers. He accepts the boss's decision and backs it up totally. 3. Works harder - doing everything the job requires and then just a little more. He takes that extra step. 4. Character - facing up to tuogh decisions instead of taking the easy way out. This includes giving credit where credit is due, taking the blame even when it belongs to someone else, having integrity , reliability, and punctuality. The one thing that a leader must never forget is that he must have the respect of his followers in order to be an effective leader. Once that is lost, the job and the leader are a failure. In ending the seminar Mr. Nork comm~nted · ~n th e eagerness and vitality df the group and hoped that he woula' have the opportunity to return again in the near future.

Israel has accepted the challenge of the Junius-International Relations Club to debate the Middle-East crisis with the United Arab Republic; the U.A.R. has and continues to ignore invi~ations to debate. Last Saturday, while Wilkes College students and faculty members were cheering our noble football team to a crushing victory over a pitiful Homecoming opponent, Haverford College was inaugurating a new college president. John R. Coleman, formerly professor of economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Carnegie-Mellon University, and an executive of the Ford Foundation, became the ninth president of this 134year-old institution. The inauguration of President Coleman and his subsequent address emphasize several important differences of concern between Haverford and Wilkes College. Wednesday, November 8, at 8:15 p.m. in the Center for the Performing Arts, Mr. Yissakhar Ben-Yaacov, Consul General of Israel for Pennsylvania, Delaware, and southern New Jersey, will reveal "Israel's Challenge in the Middle-East." The United Arab Republic has been invited to send a qualrfled representative to participate in the debate. but, to date, has refused. It is not known at this time whether the U .A .R. will accept Israel's challenge. This program will inaugurate the second season of the "Conflicts of Peace" Lecture Series sponsored by the Junius-International Relations Club.

He further stated that "the academic community has too often left out the standards of good taste, scholarship and examination of alternatives that, even at this late date, might lift the debate (of issues) to a higher level." It is impossible .to visualize_ .,Wilkes College students and members of the faculty sacrificing a football game to accept the challenges of today's controversial issues. Rather, the general lack of concern (note this week's letters) is reflected by the apparent sterile environment of the campus. Without any effective involvement on the part of student-government, the faculty, and the student-body, can the Wilkes College community ever develop the use of "standards of good taste, scholarship and examination of alternative" solutions in order to face the difficult issues of the college, the nation, and the world today? Now is the time for every member of the college community to reassess his purpose for existence in an intellectual environment. Controversy reeks in every inter- and intra-action of our lives. No longer can decisions be made without intelligent analysis and discussion. It is absolutely necessary to shift the empha• sis from specious activities which result in intellectual stagnation to the substantive concerns which demand the total consciousness of every college individual. 1Nhal-1Nhere-1Nhen SOPHOMORE· JUNIOR HAYRIDE - El Pocono Dude Ranch - Tonight, 7:30 p.m. FOOTBALL- Wilkes vs. PMC- Away- Tomorrow, 1:30 p.m. SOCCER-Wilkes·vs; Hofstra -Away- Tomorrow, 2 p.m. BOGART FILM FESTIVAL - Council House - CPA - Saturday, 8 p.m. REGISTRATION FOR SENIORS, JUNIORS AND ENGINEERING STUDENTS - November 6-10 ARAB· ISRAEL LECTURE- Junius-lRC Society- CPA- November 8, 8:15 p.m. SOCCER - Wilkes vs. Harpur - Away - November 8, 3 p.m. Liva conducts The Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic Society opens its 1967-68 season Monday, November 6, at 8:30 p.m. at the lrem Temple.

I'm 'beginning to be convinced that the United States is, in its own Puritanical. God-fearing, Patriotic, "Peaceloving " way, exterminating the Vietnamese people for the sake of "Democracy." I'm not absolutely certain ·that complete extermination will be the outcome of the war, but I am certain that thousands upon thousands of Vietnamese are being eliminated, and that most of -those people ,have little or no idea why they 're 'being eliminated. No one can convince me that all bombs fall on military targets. I wonder if fl-fty per cent of bombs land on military targets. (There is such a thing as simply "unloading" bombs - any- where. The Germans used to do that over my par-t df Britain during World War II.) Tons upon tons of bombs are dropped. Upon what? (The United States has already dropped far more bombs on tiny Vietnam than it drop.p ed on Europe during World War II.) Thousands of riHes are fired and hundreds of hand-grenades are thrown. At whom? Are any soldiers killed? Of course not! I can't end this letter without an emotional outburst - the subject warrants it - directly related to the Vietnam war. I'm sick of human suffering, especially human suffering at the- hands of humans. I'm sick of wars, of prejudices, of crooks, of generals and admirals, of most politicians, of most religious leaders, of all people whose seU-interest and self-righteousness necessarily compels them to tolerate, if not advocate, the abuse of other human beings. In short, I'm sick of human abuse. Why? -Because I have to live with the knowledge of -this abuse. I want to be free to move, free to act, free to think, free to be honorable - without abusing others. But I cannot be free. The Dear Editor: I have read with acute dismay the lamentable art-icle in the Beacon, "We Wonder." I bel ieve it is a disgrace that such a torment as that should appear in any college newspaper. It is regrettable that for many this Wilkes College is a hang-out, a part-time job, a place to go. rather than an experience in the formative years. I have watched the campus and the students, and I have made interesting observations on the apparent disinterest of the student. The problems of Wilkes are closely associated with the problems of Wyoming Valley. For many years this area was on the verge of economical disaster. Poverty permeated the area. But slowly we picked up our feet; wealth accumulated, population began to increase. People moved here, instead of away. How docs this affect Wilkes College? Most of the students at Wilkes are from this area. Thus, what affects them affects Wilkes. It is my contention that many students, coming from an economically distressed background, would primarily be interested in procuring a degree from a college. would be anxious to go into the world with a chance to do better financially, and would be less anxious, because of economic factors, to partake ,in the intellectual stimulus afforded by a college. Hence it follows that not only is there intellectual apathy, but aside from winning grades, almost total disinterest in anything that does not relate to obtaining a degree. If the bookstore is inadequate, who cares - those students already have bought their assigned books. If the cafeteria is crowded, who cares - those students need a break from studying. Some stay all day. If the United Fund didn't reach its goal. who cares - what does that have to do with one's degree? If grades are most important, why not? Some students, who wan-t to live for today . look at a degree in terms of Anancial wealth. Not much selfrealization is present, but a lot of wealth is. Let me describe a poignant scene ( to me it was) . One of the local bohemians, with long hair, "pasha" glasses, grubby clothes, and a serious and in·tense gaze, one of those one would associate with protesting the draft (or at least burning his student I.D. card) , one of those one would suspect is an angry, young rebel. one of those was in the rec room of the New Men's Dorm playing pingpong. That seems <to be the ·trend: some are phonies ful filling a role. Could it be that we all are merely ful1filling a role at Wilkes? W ,hat should we do? Hopefully, in a few generations, the particular economic factors will not be a major inHuence on some college students in this area. As for today, I believe that new blood is needed at the ·top, along with a willingness -to follow uncharted paths. Quite -frankly. considering that hazing is a relic of the I 920' s, that shortly ivy will spring forth on the new library , that other quaint ideas remain in practice, and that the physical aims of the College are not far beyond what they always were, considering all this, in addition -to the economic factors, it is not only possible to ask why there is apathy, but also it is possible to wonder how the College has prospered. W -ilkes has advanced because it is -a good school; but it can be better, much better. If there is apathy, why does it exist? I have attempted to shed a ray or two of light through my experiences on the subject; that's the least one can do. Thank you, Marc A . Hoffman '11,11-i1tll,llle,ne1tt. wA~?

Sincerely, Mr. George Fen'hy Department of English Wilkes College IJtc,-e 'fUU tic1tJ Dear Editor: A woman cannot be half pregnant and a responsible student cannot be half commirted. As the College Handbook states: "an educated man participates constructively in the social , economic, and political li-fe of the community"; "in a college community, freedom of inquiry and responsibility arc essential." It is with these noble premises in mind that the sophomore class through the sophomore executive council has assumed an active and dangerous responsibility to the entire student body in iniating a six point long-range program beginning im mediately . Our goal? DESTRUCTION FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSTRUCTION. Method? Student and faculty polls. petitions. bombardment of questionaires, meetings with those involved, protest ( H necessary). and other techniques which are better kept secret for the moment. Of course, various elements in the College will condemn, criticize, ration- . In memonam alize, solemnly warn, and repudiate arguments. But as a group, we merely wish to destroy the so-called "information gap" (remember the Tangerine Bowl controversy?) ; to destroy the fears of inquiry and active student involvement; to enlighten or to startle the College to the truth that its primary responsibility is to the students, not to the community; to enable the College to grow through collective and mutual responsibility ; and to change the College's "guardian attitude" toward its mature students. SpeciAcally, there will be Ave controversial projects concerning six major problem areas in the College that have been harped upon by students and the newspaper. (BeacOlll Sept. 29, 1967: "We urge the responsible leaders of the College to begin the actions necessary to provide adequate study of these problems.) I. Registration1 Why doesn 't the student have the right to know in advance and to choose his teacher in light of his own needs? Who. wants a boring or unqualiAed teacher? Why can't the student assume a vital responsibility in order to fulfill his needs? 2. Bookstore: Almost sel-f-explanatory. Why can't the bookstore be relocated? Or why can't space be economized at the present site? Why aren't newspapers, pape·rbacks. mag azines, etc. sdld? 3. Cuts: Why must a student attend class if he feels he is not benefitting? Isn't he paying for his own education? Isn't he mature enough to make such decisions and to accept the consequences? 4.Cafetttias: Why are dorm students forced to eat in the cafeteria? Why can't the dorm student be offered optional meal plans such as one or two meal ticket basis? W ·hy are day students forced to pay forty cents for a cheese sandwich? 5. Social restrictions: Why are girls forbidden to wear mini-skirts? Why can't dorm students live off-campus if parental permission is given? What valid reasons are there for the lack of cigarette machines on campus? 6. Grading system: Would not a 12 point system or one similar to it be a .fairer evaluation of the student at college and for graduate school purposes? Isn't it an injustice when one student has a 70 average and another has a 79 average and both receive a 2.0 ( instead of a 2.0 and a 2.9)? 7. Miscdlaneous1 Why are college students forbidden to exercise religious freedom through various religious clubs on other campuses like the Newman Club? Why? Why? Why? The student has the right to be informed , to demand concrete and rational explanations for anything the College dictates. Indifference or injustice will not be accepted and will be retaliated. Students have the right to recommend , to assume responsibility in a community of students, to initiate action for construction even if destruction is necessary. NOW IS THE TIME FOR A COMMUNITY OF STUDBNTS AND FACUI.,'PY AND AIDMINISTIM T-ION TO GROW AND TO 'LEARN TI-IROUGH COLLECTIVE AND MUTUAL RESPONSIBIUTY, INQUIRY, AND RESPECT. I guarantee this year that the sophomore class will not be an organization concerned only with itseJ.f or only with social functions. Without ·f ear we are assuming a responsibility that has never been assumed. So far the response from students and faculty is great. We arc answe-ring the students, the newspaper. the faculty , and the Administration. The organization will be a body of all concerned students that believe actual student involvement is the only answer to student problems. When you actually analyze the situation. it does not take much strength to do the things we want to do, but it requires great strength to decide on what to do. Most surely we will be criticized. To avoid criticism we must do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing. Most surely we will make mistakes - the man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything. But in order for the College and its students to grow, for they cannot stand still, we must all do and say and be something. I am asking you : please do and say and be something . Students. let us raise high th e roof beam. REMEMBER: The wheel that squeaks the loudest gets the most grease! Dear Editor: The passing of Jack Karn should certainly be noted in -the Beacon.

Events commenced on Friday with · the soccer game against Wagner College in which the opponents were de feated, 5-0. T<hat evening a bonfire was held in <the parking lot of Ralston Field, after which the W AA sponsored a dance. Music was provided by Eddie Day and the Night-Timers. A car caravan carried Miss Sharon Daney. escorted by Jim Murray, and her court to Ralston 'Field on Saturday afternoon where she reigned over a victorious Colonel squad that defeated Haverford, 69-0. Miss Daney's court included Miss Leslie Calamari, escorted by Mike Tinney, and Miss Liz Slaughter, escorted by Bill Moyles. The queen and ·her court were given bouquets of flowers ; gifts were given by Student Government and the Alumni Association. Saturday evening a dinner-dance was held at the Grand Prix Room of the High 'Point Inn. Music was provided by the Gene Dempsey orchestra. That same night Bobby Baird provided the music for the alumni dinnerdance held in the ballroom of the Hotel Sterling. Judging chai·rman George Murdock and the alumni judging committee reviewed the campus " beat Haverford" displays. Five categories were considered: Warner Hall won for the best overall and the best women's dorm display, Hainna Hall, best men's dorm; chemistry club, best club display ; and W AA, the best Boat. �THE Friday, November 3, 1967 Page-5 BEACON Boolers rout Seahawks The soccer team set the pace for Homecoming with a 5-0 rout over Wagner. Rich Beck led the scoring for the Colonels with three goals. The entire team sparkled and after llve goals were scored Coach Neddoff cleared the bench. Subs played the entire fourth period. Wilkes scored in the first minute after a corner kick bounced off a Seahawk fullback. John Santo was left with a clear shot at the goal and booted the ball into the far corner. Early in the second period Rich Beck and John Santo teamed up for two quick ident-ical goals. Santo twice passed to Beck crossing in front of the goal and Beck banged in two short shots.

Athlete of the Week The Beacon salutes Rich Beck as Athlete of the Week for his superb play against Wagner last Friday afternoon. Beck led the 5-0 rout of the Seaha-wks by registering three goalshis second "hat trick" of the season. Beck leads the team in scoring so far this season with 11 goals in nine games. Rich plays left wing (or outside left for soccer buffs) and is noted for his spirited play and his "pepper pot"' attitude on the fleld. Beck was honored by his own team-mates earlier this year when they selected him as a tri-captain to serve along with Tom Rokita and Joe Kiefer. Beck has been a member of the soccer team for four years and has gained honors for his play by being selected to the MAC flrst team twice and gaining second team selection on by Chuck Lengle Saturday's flasco, which featured our own Colonels and the Fords of Haverford College, ended in such fashion that it prompted most spectators present to ask themselves the following question : Why is Wilkes playing such a weak team? The answer is simple - Wilkes has signed an agreement (similar to a contract) to maintain MAC play for a specifled period of time. The Colonels are playing Ursinus, Haverford, and PMC because a few years back the Colonels displayed football abilities somewhat similar to the type exhibited by the Fords on Saturday afternoon, and as a result, the stronger teams in the MAC refused to schedule such "patsies." Consequently Wilkes was forced to play the weaker teams in the MAC. The schedules are arranged three to four years in advance and it was impossible to predict such flne Colonel football teams for the future . The games being played this year were scheduled in 1963-64. Another question can then be proposed: Why doesn't Wilkes drop out of the MAC and pursue an independent schedule? This might create the image of Wilkes being a "football factory" and this is a reputation the school wants to avoid. I suggest a conservative path. Schedule the minimum number of games (flve) to be eligible for the conference championship and then three or four games with perennial Eastern powers. The Wilkes football schedule does include the likes of Ithaca and the University of Vermont for future seasons, but why not complement this with more non-conference games? It is not inconceivable to visualize the Colonels playing Division II teams such as Gettysburg, Lafayette, Bucknell, etc. Combining games with teams such as these with ·flve tough MAC opponents would provide the Colonels with good competition and eliminate scores such as 69-0. By adopting such a schedule, Wilkes football would hardly be considered "big time" and the team could gain the prestige it so richly deserves. It is interesting to note that the Colonels arc one of but ten undefeated, untied football teams in the nation. Football powers still unbeaten are: USC, North Carolina State, Virginia Tech , Wyoming, and Waynesburg with seven victories; Indiana, UCLA. Wagner, and WILKES with six victories; Dartmouth and Central Connecticut State with five victories. Undoubtedly, the Colonels are not one of the ten best teams in the country, but it is still a distinct honor to be mentioned as one of only ten undefeated, untied teams in the country. If the Colonels defeat PMC and Lebanon Valley, their 21-game winning streak wHI again rank with the best across the nation. So, hats off to Coach Rollie Schmidt and his squad of "lnvincibles."

After the second series of downs for the Colonels, it was evident that a slaughter was in the process. Coach Rollie Schmidt pulled his first team out midway in the second period a.fter taking a 21-0 lead. It was a long afternoon for the Fords as they were only to compile 011e first down, and this occurred in the closing stages of the contest. Highlighting the Wilkes offense were Roger Beatty and Joe Zakowski. Beatty amassed 140 yards on ten carries while scoring three times. This gave the brilliant senior a total of 34·8 yards on the year. Zakowski gained 103 yards plus completing a SI-yard touch down strike to Jim Wolfe. Bill Staake, inheriting the kicking chores after Dave Kaschak was injured in the Ursinus game, dril,led home nine of ten placements to shatter the record of five held jointly by Paul Purta and Jack Feeny. Seven other team and individual marks were also smashed. A new game high and total points record was set with the 69--0 drubbing, replacing the old 63-6 clobbering of Lycoming in 1949. The total offensive effort of 654 yards surpassed the previous total of 491 against Muhlenberg in I 965. Passing for 181 yards, the Colonels toppied the game passing yardage record of 150 set against Trenton State in 1953. The rushing mark of HJ yards recorded against Muhlenberg in 1965 crumbled as the Wilkesmen ground out 473 yards. Joe Zakowski became the leading touchdown passer in Colone! history by notching his seventh . This erased the mark set by Rich Roshong. Joe Wiendl eclipsed ·his last year punt return total of 361 yards -to also set a new individual high. Wilkes' first score came midway in the first quarter as Beatty added the finishing touches to a 64-yard drive with a seven-yard off-tackle run. Getting the ball back seconds ·later after a series of unsuccessful downs, the Colonels marched all the way to the one-yard line. With a touchdown just inches away, the Fords got a ternporary lease on life by recovering a fumble on the next play. Minutes later, Colonel defensive ace Mike Connolly knocked down a Haverford punt to Roger Beatty displa s fine broken-field running as he eludes several Haverford tacklers on this six-yard gain in the second quarter of Saturday's rout. give the Colonels possession of th e pigskin on the opponents' 39-yard line.

The delegates boarded a plane at Avoca for Syracuse and a jet at Syracuse; they arrived in Chicago at noon last Thursday. Upon arriving at the "Windy City," they checked in at the Conrad Hilton Hotel where the conference was held. Approximately 100 different seminars for newspapers and yearbooks were offered. Reigning as Homecoming Queen of 1967 is Miss Sharon Dancy. Included news timely for weekly publication. newspaper make-up and lay-out. and ideas for editorial and opinion pages. A seminar in student power was given by the editor of the University of Wisconsin's Cardinal. Speakers included professors from colleges, universities and newspapers all over the country. An awards luncheon, which was attended by at least 1.500 delegates. was held on Friday afternoon in the grand ballroom. Father Lavin of the University of Scranton gave the invocation. At the luncheon 1Mr. Lloyd Went presented the Pacemaker Award to the Michigan State Daily for all-around excellence in writing and communication. Dante expert from Tufts, John Ciardi, received a certificate for distinguished service to journalism. Although the conference schedule was tightly packed, the group had a good bit of extra time to explore the city by day and by night. The conference also included a dance and buffet for the delegates on Friday evening. Tonight's jud9ing of the Homecoming displays will begin at 6 p.m. WELCOME ALUMNI All students who want to enter their cars in the car caravan should meet tomorrow at 11 a.m. in the P.arrish parking lot to decorate their vehicles. Plays reveal new talent by Kad Agee the memories which the lovely little Wilcox as Red Jack Smith gave a polThree one-act plays were presented at the Fine Arts Center last weekend, and each provided the unfortunately sparse audience with a pleasurable two hours. It's a shame that so few people were present to witness a fine display of talent. Unfortunately, Still Alarm and Spreading the News were not the finest plays and this reviewer sensed a struggle within the actors to cope with these two productions. Alfred Groh"s Recollections of Child, hood provided the greatest material for creativity and the actresses took full advantage of it. In an imaginative playroom a charming array of children dressed in pastels brightened the stage with the bloom of youth in various stages. Smiles and tears greeted girls resurrected. Cheryl Pelava's portrayal of a tomboy and a child dressing up, Hazel Hulsizer's "Teacher" and Shirley Ellis' "White Lamb" were presented sensitively and delicately. Rosemary Haydock's 'Tm an Ant" and Barbara Gonzales' dramatization of a child vigorously exploring the world were also cameo performances. " Red Pepper Thumb" was an unusually moving rhyme, depicting vividly the dilemma of a child who is addicted to thumb-sucking. Although overly sentimental. the play was a refreshing change from the mundane world of maturi-ty. Spreading the News seemed to be a play which was dated and difficult to treat comfortably. Fay Stein gave a memorable representation, and Roger ished portrayal of a blustry Irish farmer. ,B artley Fallon, played by Bob Hartzell, gave the audience a truly professional performance. He remained true to his role throughout the brief one-act and never fell out of character. The performances were in singularity good but the production lacked a consistent professional quality. The Still Alarm was more a false alarm as far as its hilarity was concerned. The difficulty of the actors to convey the comedy in the phlegmatic characters in the play may be partly due to the staging and playing diffiiculties inherent in the show. Ed Lisky and Gene Santarelli made valiant efforts but somehow the show didn't live up to the quality of past Cue 'n Curtain productions. �THE Page2 The Homecoming The dormitory displays, tonight's bonfire, the weekend of activities all signal the beginning of this year's edition of Homecoming. Although the activities are geared to present a weekend of entertainment, there will also be time for the graduate to walk slowly through the campus and reflect about the College. Being able to view the College with detached perspective, the alumnus can observe and evaluate the changes in the College since the day when he was a student. In the twenty years since the school was chartered, we have grown from a school of sixty-one graduates to one whose graduates number in the thousands. The College is engaged in a continued program of physical growth designed to provide the best facilities for the student. New buildings have been built to house the students, the arts, and the sciences, and currently construction is underway for a new library. Friday, October 27, 1967 BEACON Exhibit shows faculty techniques by Karl Knoecklein The annual Faculty Art Show is on exhibition at Conyngham Annex through November 4. It is a collection of recent works done by the fine arts faculty . Some of the faculty have been experimenting in new media or styles. There are numerous styles represented on the part of each teacher. On the whole this exhibit shows immense growth in the work of the art faculty. One of the outstanding works in the collection is ·Michael Stein's "Tondo" BElli. This acrylic is done on a circular piece of masonite. Painting in the round has always presented specific problems to an artist. Stein has done two of these paintings and "Beth" to me is the more successful. He has created forms in the circle that are extremely captivating. The student body has grown to over 2100 students and the Anthony Evangilista's "A Little Blue faculty has been increased to meet the demands of contempor- Girl" is done in an almost pure linear style, that is, the artist is primarily ary education. The College you visit this weekend may perhaps look different from the one you remember. It has grown and changed to meet the needs of the times. Enjoy this weekend and bear in mind that we as students welcome your return and hope to share with you our experience as students in the contemporary college. We Wonder Why the United Fund didn't reach its goal. Why discussion is so hard to find. Why the concert was not attended. Why the bookstore is so inadequate. Why the cafeteria is run on a profit basis. Why grades are most important. Why the blood campaign didn't reach its goal. Why the plays were so poorly attended. Why the parking problem's never mentioned anymore. Why intellectuality's so hard to find. Why the yearbooks aren't out yet. Why the caf's so overcrowded when there's so much to be done. Why the campus is empty weekends. Why the library loses books. Why the student is discontented.

SUBSCRIPTION : $3 .00 PER YEAR concerned with the outline an object creates. The relationship between the textured areas and plane surfaces is pleasing to the eye. Color predominates in this work, making the figure secondary, showing that a model may not be the prime subject in a work. Chester Colson's "Vermont Mountain" displays a unique treatment of color and balance. The cubist painting creates a total mood of a bright day in Vermont. Colson had done much work in this style and his current paintings exhibit this growth. 'Philip Richards has two distinct styles of his painting in the show. "Snug Harbor," a casein wash, is done in a very free-Howing technique, while Mrs. Anne B. Kish views "A Rose is for Remembering." "Still Ufe" is an oil done by methodically breaking down areas into a type or colored patchwork. The b rightly colored squares give the painting its gay ,feeling. The somber colored "Snug Harbor," on the other hand, despite its rapid execution, captures an evening glance at a New England harbor. Roman Tymchyshyn has chosen to display all graphics, the medium in which he is primarily interested. "Little ballad of dirty jaques, college man and lady killer," a collage-rubbing, uses one of the artist's own etchings torn up and used as part of the "college" man. Tymchyshyn has also entered a copy of an extremely creative poster, protesting the use of napalm with reference to sun tan. This is truly an avante-garde work and characteristic of the break away from tradit\onal posters. This year's faculty exhibit has, besides demonstrating the ability of the fine arts faculty, provided an interesting exhibit in varied styles which should be witnessed by the college population. Lenssen concert are enlivens Brecht by Box Tops saddened poor turnout by Carol Garstka "It was really disappointing," commented Danny Smythe, drummer of The Box Tops, when asked what he thought of the turnout at the concert Friday night. It must have been as obvious to the band as it was to th is interviewer that the concert was less than a success and the turnout was less than stimulating for a band whose record was recently number one nationally. When I arrived at the gym, the first thing I noticed was a few hundred fig. ures scattered among half-empty bleachers and folding chairs. After the concert I walked back to the improvised dressing room. After a few halting attempts to get the proper, prepared questions asked and answered, I noticed that the spirit of the group was exceeding low amid the general gaiety. An invitation was extended to me by the lead singer, Alex Chilton, to attend a small party that was to be held shortly afterward and here was my chance for a half-decent interview. I went. At the party, I first concerned myself with the basic questions and found the entire group to be very responsive. Contrary to previously printed information, Alex Chilton, although lead singer, is not the leader of the group, nor is he a graduate of Memphis State University. He joined the group in March, 1967, and his first singing attempt in a studio was recording "The Letter." The leader and organizer of The Box Tops is drummer Danny Smythe. The group's first album, although thus far nameless, is being released this week. Future plans include appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show and other variety shows, one-nighters at colleges throughout the country, and a trip to Europe in January. The fu ture also includes hopes for, as Danny put it, "another big record to establish ourselves," and to "attract bigger Gerhard Lenssen as "Mack-the-Knife" Peachum, Filch, Polly, M-ackie-theKnife, and the rest of a cast of thieves, pickpockets, and murderers were present 1Monday night when Gerhard Lenssen presented a one-man show of Bertolt Brecht's and Kurt Weil's Die Dreigroschenoper, The Three Penny Opera, in the Center for the Performing Arts. This unusual one-man technique was originated by Herr Lenssen. Herr Lenssen presented th is difficult work in the imagination of the audience, using only a small spotlight and a piano as aids. Performed in German, the opera was easily followed by even those whose knowledge of the language was sparse. A familiarity with crowds," added by Gary Talley, lead guitarist. Straying from my note pad of prepared questions, we began talking informally of the problems of success, tours, and sudden popularity. "The thing I dig most is getting to play with other name bands, because I'm in this for kicks, not money. But th is travelling gets to you - I mean motel rooms and more motel rooms," said Alex. And Danny chimed in, "Where's home? I've forgotten. " "Where's home? What does the future hold?" No one really knows the answer - but The Box Tops all agree that " we hope the crowds get better." the plot of the Opera, as was provided by the program, was all that was needed to carry the audience through the two-hour program. !The program began with an introductory speech by Herr Lenssen, in English, in which he related the history of the opera and stressed the need for the audience to set the stage in their minds and allow the actors to play in their imaginations. W ith this monologue completed, the lights were blacked out, Herr Lenssen assumed his position behind the piano, illuminated dramatically by the single spotlight, and th e opera began. With grand gestures that projected large shadows on the curtain behind him, Herr Lenssen sang the opening strains of "Mack the Knife ," recogn izable in nearly any language. Herr Lenssen was to his audience male, female, young, old. and ageless narrator. Each new setting was cf. fected with a recurrent expansive gesture and a phrase announcing the subtitle of the particular section. He also created the illusion of a huge pipe organ and portals for each scene. Following his performance, Herr Lenssen met informally with a group which included several natives of Herr Lenssen's Germany and members of the .foreign language departmen t of the College. �Friday, October 27, 1967 THE Council house plans Bogart festival SG Reports Student Government held its weekly meeting Monday evening. October 23. The first b usiness conducted at this week's meeting was the rescheduling of the sophomore-junior hayride for Friday, November 3. The Russian Club's president, Ray Bonita. and vice-president, Tom Evans, presented the constitution of their newly-formed club for Student Government's approval. The constitution was discussed, amended, and then approved. Bonita informed the SG members of the club's plans to bring films from th e Soviet Union for presentation on campus, speakers from the Russian Embassy and the United Nations. and relatives of Tolstoy to speak preceding one of the films. President Bonita requested and received permission to charge a nominal admission fee to cover the cost of obtaining the films. (There is no written policy forbidding admission charges in the Student Government constitution.) The sophomore class requested informal dress regulations for its dance on November 11 . Permission was granted. The United Fund drive, originally planned to extend from September 20 to October 20, was extended until today. On October 23, $525 had been collected, with $100 or $200 more exptcted. Chairman Joe Gatto had set a much higher quota, but considered the p\iblicity : for the drive very good. It was decided to allow the Council 0£ Club Presidents to take charge of lhe All.Coilege dance scheduled for November 25 so that it may recover some of the Ioss suffered by its concert' last weekend. Judy Simonson reported that the Box Tops concert sponsored by the Council of Club Presidents was good. but that the student attendance was inadequate. Miss Simonson did not have a definite figure of the debt incurred by the concert, but promised that the loss would be repaid by the end of the year. However, all clubs are encouraged to leave the money from their shares in the treasury until the end of the semester to aid in the payment of bills. The small attendance at the concert was attributed to the fact that neighboring schools were holding their own events that same weekend. Carl Siracuse mentioned the difficulties in organizing any concert without previous experience with the business techniques practiced in the entertaining field. Siracuse also pointed out the fact that a desirable grand scale concert cannot be organized without financial support from the Administration. The Alumni Dance was discussed next. The event will be held in the Crystal Ballroom of the Sterling Hotel on Saturday evening. All seniors are invited to attend. Admission will be $3. When asked to outline th e procedure of the Homecoming Queen election, Joe Gatto said that lists of the names of senior girls were posted prior to the election, enabling the girls to correct any errors in the listing. From a corrected list the student body then selected five names. Following the balloting, members of Student Government, IDC, and the elections committee tallied the votes to find that Miss Sharon Daney had been chosen to reign at this year's Homecoming festivities.

FRANK CLARK BEACON _ Owen JEWELER by Klaus Loquasto In the beginning, the man lived who was sound in body and mind. Those who were mentaUy deficient were not allowed to survive, and there was no need of caring for them . Th is need arose, however, as humanity advanced; for the mentally defici ent were allowed to live, though death would have been better in view of the care given to them. The challenge created by such inadequacies has been accepted in our time by government and private organizations. The state of Pennsylvania, for instance. in addition to creating hospitals and funds for mental treatmen t, has made laws which provide for smaller institutions throughout its counties to help prevent men tal disorders and to cushion the effects of society on those just being released from mental hospitals. The need fo r th is type of institution was felt in Luzerne County, where in I 960, the Council of Jewish Women founded a part-time organization which was later to become known as the Council House. Council House presently provides rehabilitation service for former mental patients and for their families. According to Mrs. Stanley S. Gutin Council House is a stepping stone from the hospital to the community." Members of the organization presently meet once a week at the P resbyte rian Institute Building in Wyoming and twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays in the second Boor of the Commons. Here they participate in a varied recreational program which is designed to develop individual responsibility as well as to reintroduce the member into society. Council House members arc currently planning a fund raising campaign on their own behalf, for instance, to supplement the present income from donations and · state aid. The project will be the "Bogart Festival" to be held in the Center for the Performing Arts on Saturday, November 4 at 8 p.m. A donation of $2 will provide a ticket for the Bogart films, Casablanca and Petrified Forest Tickets can be obtained .from Mr. George Partilla, program director. at the Miner's National Bank, Monday through Friday, Chuck Robbins Page 3 Box Tops concert dismal failure by Sandra Vici Last Friday night the CCP set a precedent for inferior, inane recreation by trying to surpass the SG in sterile, unprofessional entertainment. Eddie Day and the Night-Timers outclassed the one-hit Box Tops whose inept performance showed how far they are from the zenith of success. What was the main purpose of this fiasco? H it was to be proHtable, why was it not publized more professionally? Let's face it - it takes more than pink posters and WARiM to make a success. If it was for entertainment, it was aimed for the teeny-boppers and not the college students. How can one promote cohesion and defeat apathy on this campus with a group that no one wanted to hear? Not only was it a failure as a monetary project, but it was also a failure as a concert. The music offered by these semi-professionals was not conducive to a seated session. Eddie Day and the Night-Timers made the Box Tops look like the Saturday afternoon amateur hour. As a dance, it might have been overlooked, hut to have to pay $3.50 to sit and listen to mediocre music by the Box Tops is an insult to the students who attended although many found it worthwhile not to return after intermission. buy our new album," or "So glad you came, it cuts down on the echo in this large gym," showed just how much discretion they lacked. CCP is presently soliciting for their Co-Share Stock Option Plan which is to provide "better services. and a more varied concert season."

The victory gave the Wilkesmen the longest winning streak among Pennsylvania colleges. Clarion State had been keeping pace with the Colonels but fell by the wayside in dropping a 17-15 verdict to Indiana State. Leading the way for the Colonels were Rick Simonson, Joe Wiendl, and Vince Yarmel. Simonson had a fine day in moving the Colonels to over 150 yards df real estate in the first half, including his third touchdown of the year. Wiendl provided the fans with the game's biggest play by picking off a Dragon aerial and rambling 70 yards before being stopped just short of the goal line. Yarmel, the most overlooked man in the Colonels' back,field this year, scored the other touchdown, accumulating over 60 yards of rushing. and provided many of the key blocks that sprang Wilkes backs for increased yardage. Wilkes' first touchdown came early in the second quarter. With Roger Beatty and Yarmel doing the carrying. the Colonels got down to the five-yard line. Seconds later Simonson cracked in from the five. Placement attempt by Bill Staake was good and the Wilkesmen took an early 7-0 lead. Six minutes later the Colonels hit the scoring column again as Vince Yarmel capped Wiendfs 70-yard thievery by plowing three yards off-tackle to paydirt. The ·c onversion was unsuccessful. Drexel's only score came with very little time remaining in the first half. A Dragon lineman set up the score by recovering a fumble on the Wilkes 25. Unable to move, Drexel brought in its kicking specialist, Larry Laing, and he connected with the first field goal scored upon the Wilkesmen in the past two years. The second half was played evenly with neither squad being able to penetrate for a counter. The Wilkes defense had a big day by crucifying the Dragon offense. Highly tou ted Rich Un ipan, entering the game after being named All-East for his efforts against Rensselaer, felt the wrath of being a celebrity. The 5'6" Dragon signal caller repeatedly was dumped for big losses and was unable to spot his receivers with the brilliant rush put on by the Colonel defenders. P . J. Kane and Brinley Varchol led the Wilkes defense by being involved in 25 and 23 tackles, respectively. Wilkes registered 17 first downs to 12 for the Dragons. The Colonels outgained the Drexelmen in the air and on the ground by 292 to 129 yards. Boolers lake lwo Joe Skvarla (84), Colonel split-end, reaches high for a Rich Somonson pass in Saturday's game. Drexel defenders are Jim Lynch (31), Bill Baer (25), and Carl Hertrich (83). The rangy junior end has already estab• lished himself as Wilkes' top all-time receiver. Athlete of the Week For his outstanding performance against Drexel, the Beacon selects Brinley Varchol as Athlete of the Week. The senior co-captain led the Colonel defense to another outstanding performance with ten tackles and 13 assists. He also intercepted his first pass of the season, giving him a career total of ten. Most of Varchol's tackles were aimed at Drexel quarterback Rick Unipan whom he dropped several times behind the line df scrimmage. Varchol's performance did not go unnoticed elsewhere. The ECAC named him to its weekly All-East Brinley Varchol team (Division III) . This is the third year he has been named to the ECAC ran back for touchdowns. So far this year Varchol leads the team. Last year Varchol led the team with team in tackles and assists with 33 five interceptions, two of which he and 46, respectively. Colonels hosl rords by Chuck Lengle The Haverford Fords will provide the opposition for the Colonels in tomorrow's Homecoming contest at Ralston Field. Haverford's new head coach, Dana Swan , is trying to rebuild a 1-6 season and thus far has been unsuccessful. The Fords have already been trounced by Rensselaer, 61-14, Dickinson, 34- 14, and Johns Hopkins, 53-6. Th e loss of Don Urie, powerful fullback and hooter, due to graduation has made Swan's offense almost punchless. Either Jan Sachs or Sam Porrecca will operate from the quarterback position with hal-fback Pete Baizel! and fu!Vback Marshall Schwenk handling most of the rushing chores. The light offensive line will be led by two stalwarts, Larry Root and Jim Ritter. Ken Hicks, sophomore end, ·h as displayed desire and determination, and he should be on the receiving end of any aerials coming out of the Ford backfield. Swan has 28 lettermen on his squad but has had difficulty instilling a winning spirit at a campus that has seen just two football victories in two years. ing the Dragons only 129 total yards gained-most of which was accumulated late in the game on desperation passes. The front four applied excellent pressure on both Drexel quarterbacks resulting in three key Colonel interceptions. Jay Holliday, back in harness after a three week lay-off due to a broken bone in his right foot, gathered in the first on a fine leaping grab. Joe Wiendl intercepted a Bear pass late in the second quarter and returned it 70 yards setting up the final Colonel score. Brin Varchol also got in the act when he literally stole the ball from a Dragon receiver in the game. The one bright spot on offense was the hard running of fullback Vince Yarmel. Time after time, Yarmel was called on in crucial situations and, for the most part, delivered the necessary yardage. Last week Wilkes' hooters began playing up to their 1966 form with two straight wins, then a heartbreaking loss to Philadelphia Textile. On Wednesday, October 18, the Colonels beat a strong Muhlenberg eleven, 2-1. The loss was the Mules· first in seven tries and knocked them out of ,first place in the MAC Southern Division. Wilkes opened the scoring in the second quarter when Rich Beck booted a left-footed shot into the corner of the goal out of the goalie's reach. In the third period the Colonels scored again on a 25-yard shot from the right by Don Spruck. Muhlenberg, determined to keep its win streak going, came back strong in the last quarter and scored on a short shot by Ed Gilroy after a pass from Bruce Fechnay. (The Colonels played their best game of the season against Muhlenberg. Manda, Bogusko and Yaremko played an outstanding defensive game while Thomas, Downey and Benson consistently set up the offense at midfield. Kiefer and Santo were instrumental in setting up the scoring plays. The best performance was turned in, however, by Jim Kennedy who played roving halfback. He keyed on Fechnay, the Mules' top scorer, holding him pointless. Kennedy was all over the field tackling and heading, finishing the contest with 24. The Colonels again outshot their opponents. 31 to 16. Saturday the soccer team traveled to Hoboken and registered its first shutout with a 4-0 victory over Stevens. The Neddoffmen dominated play in taking 39 shots to Stevens' 22 and scoring in every period. The first point came in the closing minutes of the first period when sophomore Bill Tarbart scored the first of his two goals. Taking a pass from ten yards out, the ball bounced from the goalie's hand back to Tarbart and he Above is some of the jarring play in the Muhlenberg contest.

Midway through the second period, Tarbart took a pass from left wing Rich Beck and put it in the net from five yards out. Joe Kiefer scored the third Wilkes goal on a nice driv ~ pas t two Stevens defenders. Don Spruck finished the scoring in the final period with a tremendous 30yard shot that sailed into the net over the goalie's head.

XXVII, No. 6 Friday, October 20, 1967 Lenssen lo oller Black Power polls mixed results • unique Opera act by Klaus Loquasto "But slowly, no, faster than one imagined, the artist, the single man and his curious experiment was forgotten. One saw and felt the tingles along the spine that are a symptom of intellectual emotion. The first applause came after the Cannon-song. The imaginary stage filled: the thieves, the beggars, Tiger Brown, Pirate Jenny: one could see them. The spirits descended, the golden light. the vocal illumination - one saw it. The piano became the orchestra, Herr Lenssen sang with himself in the chorus; sang duets with himself. 'You can learn something there , ·b oys!' " The foregoing paragraph is taken from a 1960 edition of the Suddeutsche Zeiturg, and it refers to Gerhard Lenssen. a native of Zeitz, Germany, a certified chemical engineer, and the founder of a ·theater consisting of himself. Herr Lenssen has asked himself whether one man alone can put on a play and has found that he can. He needs only a piano, a spotlight, and the imagination of his audience. A I %5 review in the Berliner Morgenpost states: "It is magnificent: the way Lenssen vocally and mimically ·c haracterized the individual roles, the way he creates the whole scene through a few gestures . . . ." And so, in 1967, the Department of Modem Foreign Languages brings Gerhard Lenssen to Wilkes College, where he will perform, in German, Kurt Weill's and Bertolt Brecht's Die Dreigroschenoper (The Three Penny Opera) in the Center for the Performing Arts at 8 p.m. on Monday, October 23. The admission is free, and the public is invited. A command invitation has, of course, been extended to students of German. The enigmatic Black Power movement in America in the eyes of many observers presents a threat to the stability of the country. Last week the Beacon conducted a survey in order to obtain student opinion of the problem. Those questioned displayed a variety and diversity of opinion. Students were asked: "What will be the future of the Black Power movement in America?" Those concerned about the Homecoming committees release activities for alumni weekend GERHARD LENSSEN Herr Lenssen, born in Zeitz, Germany, is a certified chemical engineer of the Dresden Technische Hochschule and a student of Carl Orff. He has directed opera in Karlsruhe and Leipzig and has conducted the State Opera in Munich. He has worked jointly with conductors Keilberth in Beirut, von Karajan in Milan, and Kempe in London. Since 1962, Lenssen has resided in the Federal Republic of Germany but, since then , has made gues t a ppearances in Amsterdam, Geneva, London, Karachi , Teheran, Dublin, Baghdad, A-nkara. and Istanbul. Lenssen is currently on a North American tour where, during the month of October, he will have performed for eighteen colleges, universities, and special societies from Maine to North Carolina. Cue 'n' Curtain debuts, showing one-act plays by Carol Okrasinski Cue 'n Curtain will present three one-act plays tomorrow at 8:30 p.m . and Sunday at 2:30 and 8:30 p.m. in the Center for the Performing Arts. Of the thirty members in the cast, all but six are making their first appearance on stage. George S . Kaufman's Still Alarm, directed by Jim Gallagher, a junior at the College, is the first play. The situation comedy centers around the blase reactions of the cast to a hotel fire in which they are embroiled. The fourteen-foot-high box setting is a hotel room of elegant Victorian style. Special lighting and chemically made smoke coming through the Boor traps give the appearance of a fire . The cast includes Gene Santarelli as the visitor; Ted Levitsky as the hotel guest; Ed Liskey as the first fireman : and Jerry Bowers as the bellboy . The second play, Spreading The News, was written in I 904 by Lady Gregory. This dramatization, which is among the plays that started the contemporary movement in Ireland, is being directed by Alfred S. Groh, director of the Center for the Performing Arts. It deals with a bucolic Irish community during the active autumn of the year when everyone goes to the fair. Lady Gregory takes a satirical look at the people of her era, people who, except for their language and clothing, are fam•iliar to us. issue replied: Bob Blum '71-Many Negroes are against it, but as time goes by, it will be the only recourse left for the Negro people for advancement, unless the white man comes to realize that Negroes are entitled to the same rights as whites. The black power supporter believes if you can't ask for it. you might as well take it. Joe Gatto '68 - I believe that Black Trouble begins when Jack Smith and Bartley have a heated discussion at the fair. Somehow a rumor spreads and by the end of the play. Smith has been arrested for the murder of Bartley , who also has been arrested, and both are placed in the same cell . The play also pokes fun at the bureaucratic system of government and its minions. The cast for Spreading The News includes Robert Hartzel. Elaine Watson, Roger Wilcox, Barry DeHaven, 'Frank McCourt, Steve Wallison. Fay Stein, Cecilia Rosen, Elliot Rosenbaum, and Dennis English. Also to be presented is Recollections From Childhood, a dramatization by Alfred Groh, which is being directed by Miss Myvanwy Williams. The dramatic sequence of approximately thirty poems presents an intimate recollection of childhood experience. The poems express the emotions of ·c hildhood, shifting from bright days of fun to rainy days and from morning to evening. The opening yearnings of a child to be sung to about the wonders of life, to the comedy of such poems as 'Tm a penguin . and you 're out of luck; you can't be one because you're a duck," present the responses of children to the imagination of play.

Power is a present and future threat to our domestic security. Militant action will be met with militant action. People, by nature, are opposed to change, especially change of a violent nature. I believe this to be true whether the goal of Black Power is superiority of the black or the establishment of a black state. Black Power suggests inequality - the superiority of the black man - which will not be tolerated in a nation that stresses equality. The United States could not exist half slave and half free in the l860's and the U.S. cannot exist half black and half white in the I 960's. Maureen Ryan '71 - Black Power, whether actively supported or not by all Negroes, will last until it achieves its basic goals. Due to its violent. radical nature it will decrease in popularity, but it will continue striving for its goals. Bob Okrasinski '71 - I don't think it will get very far. I feel that it is an extreme minority which will be stopped by legislation. Jaqui Rubin '68 - I think that eventually they will have to slow down and limit their threats and demands because they will realize that they are not really accomplishing very much. Susie Tremayne '69-There won't be any need for violence in the Black Power movement within a few generations because Negroes will be assimilated. Wayne Hresko '70 - In the future it will antagonize the whites to the point of organizing a " white power" movement to rise in opposition. This movement will be as violent as the Black .Power movement.

Both sides are presenting arguments which do not attack the basic problems. Concepts such as national honor, peace, "backing our men up in the front," escalation and deescalation are losing meaning from lack of definition. When will the nation decide the risks and rewards of any future Southeast Asian policy and begin the exploration of some other course in Vietnam? The present policy has made us aware of the risks, but the rewards seem a long way off. A consensus must be reached because differences of opinion have caused concern in some quarters that the controversy has affected our present effort in Vietnam. Yet stifled opinion will not necessarily create rational solutions. The student demands consensus because the present situation means a postponement of all future plans until a consensus is reached . Presently, most live in a purgatory of doubt. The country is being split by foreign problems at a time when domestic problems are larger and more complex. The violence of protest is fomenting the violence of unrest. Concerts, The Dilemma Tonight's concert, sponsored by the Council of Club Presidents, is a renewed attempt to institute a successful program to increase the cultural program by including professional artists. This particular concert has created controversy ranging from the date of the performance to the values of the educational institution. However, the basic problem still remains that in past years it has been increasingly difficult to make a concert a financial success. Yet, concerts are needed. After each unsuccessful attempt, the Administration has become increasingly reluctant to allow another such activity. It is feasible to use the dollar as a basis for the success of these activities? With the tremendous cost involved in obtaining professional talent, it becomes impossible to achieve this kind of success. With the differences in taste, it is impossible to please everyone with this first attempt in so long. In the present dilemma, however, overwhelming stu dent participation in events of this type is the only way to demonstrate to the Administration that there is an interest. This concert's failure could spell the death of any other program of its type for at least five years. Financially, the Council of Club Presidents has gone out on a limb on a venture which is hoped to set it on its feet so that more and varied entertainment may be provided . Like it or not, The Box Tops are our proving ground. Don't let. the Council of Club Presidents be trodden under.

SUBSCRIPTION: $3.00 PER YEAR Friday, October 20, 1967 BEACON Viel protest flick coming "Sons and Daughters, " a film on the Vietnam war and the protest movement, will be shown Wednesday, October 25, at the College Coffeehouse, St. Stephen's Parish House. Produced by the American Documentary Films, Inc., the film is set in the San Francisco Bay area during the International Days of Protest, October 15-16, 1965. It records 36 hours in the life of a community challenged by the impact of an unpopular war. According to ADF, "it is the story of America's sons and daughters, those who fight in Vietnam, those who protest against the war, those drafted from the Negro ghettos, and those who are being trained to fill the ranks of the dying in Vietnam." The Sunday Ramparts stated that " 'Sons and Daughters' is as much about the Vietnam war as it is about the sons and daughters. Robert Scheer's speeches, sometimes shown against rows and rows of skinny Viet, namese corpses, jackboots-in-the-groin interrogations, burning men and women - make the point about the war: 'It's completely mindless, it's completely araonymous, it's completely impersonal.' Yet this film makes it very personal. What many people do not realize is that the old men who make war are not in danger; only the young die." According to Jerry Stoll, the film's writer and director, it is "a contemporary historical drama . . . frankly partisan" which opposes the Vietnam war. Elaine Reuben of the Palo Alto Times stated that this film depicts the brutality of basic training at Fort Ord, the harsh dreariness of the Oakland slums, the pitiful plight of Vietnamese refugees and the suave callousness of American generals and statesmen. She added -that the film is artfully and solidly photographed and constructed. Behold the automated monsters by Boyd O'Prey "They've done it!" I replied in unabashed curiosity, "Who has done what?" She sat -there and sobbed out, "Oh, I can't bear to tell; go to the snackbar and see." Naturally, like the proverbial curious cat, I went. And incidentally now as a ghost writer I am having my problems. (The ink keeps disappearing.) It was 8:30 a.m. as I walked up River Street from Conyngham Hall, an evil stench (either from the Susquehanna or the Hooding toilet in Chapman Hall) leaped upon my senses, and tried to turn me back, but courageously I pressed on toward the unknown. After finally reaching the alley, I turned right toward the snack'bar, but I could not see the building for a gloomy grey mist enveloped it. As I further approached the dimmed outline of the buildings, shape became apparent; but something was amiss. The air was filled with a strange humming whir and buzzing, and traces of ozone piqued my nostrils. As I gripped the door handle, I felt a slight pulsating shock; I pushed t he inner door with my elbow to avoid a repetition. When I looked up, I saw what I first thought to be a row of six glittering multieyed monsters staring at me. I wanted to cry, to cower in the corner. They were tan, blue, gold and in between shades. I thought they moved toward me, but the illusion faded when I remembered someone telling me the snackbar would be converted to an automat. Two apparitions, maybe the ghosts of Horn & Hardart, sat in t he corner watching my horror with mild surprise. I then decided to try these beautifully symmetrical row of dumb waiters. (They were dea-f too.) I scanned them over and went first to the sandwich dispenser. I put in -the proper change, pulled the door marked pork barbeque and got just that. I popped it into the beautiful little recessed microwave oven for thirty seconds. It was steaming hot. As I unwrapped it, a savory smell rose, but I can describe the taste in a mono-syllable - ECCK. After taking another bite, I threw it away. Now I needed a cup of coffee to purge the taste of that awful barbeque. I went to the coffee machine, turned the selector to black, and inserted a dime. Out came a cup of steaming hot liquid. I tried it and immediately got the impression that I was not drinking coffee, but Susquehanna River water. Even Gerard makes better so-called coffee than this chrome-plated, streamlined machine. I was a'bout to leave now, and wanted a candy bar for munching in class. I inserted a quarter in the slot marked insert coin, but here was no clinking of returning coins. I pushed the button and the machine vomited forth my double Reese cups, but still no change. I pulled the coin return again and again, but the machine kept my 15 cents. Oh Lord - even Sophie can give the right change. Furious now, I reached my hand inside the machine's mouth in a last attempt to regain my money. Well, I hit a live wire. Now that I am a ghost, I shall make prophecy. I see students of the future changing classes on moving sidewalks. I see them going to language classes in modern newspeak. I see them sitting befor an android at the Christmas assembly. He stands up and with a mechanical Southern accent he leads them in singing the carols. Finally, I see a graduation ceremony where a mechanical college president hands out the chrome-plated diplomas to our assembly of semi-mechanical students. How this appears in the light of the universe I don't really know. But maybe the " marks of an educated man" in the future will be - he who pushed the proper button at the right time. [Con'd. from page 1] Black Power using the wrong means to a seemingly right end.

Diana Stinziano 70 _ The Black Power movement does not really have a future. H . R. Brown, its leader, cannot bring this movement to any real heights because not all Negroes are as radical as he. Besides, he will not get many sympathetic followers if the government doesn't make a martyr of him by seriously persecuting him. Art display presented by NYC artist This week Judith Spencer Levy of New York exhibited her works at Conyngham Annex. On first viewing the exhibit, one is impressed by the profusion of colors and styles which gree t the eye. One is amazed at the versatility of the artist and many different media by which she communicates: oils woodcuts, acrylic polymers, ink and casein. She does not develop any one medium to a great intensity. One wonders if this reflects a basic dillkulty in finding one medium in which she is comfortable. The great majority of her works, even those in the abstract, are contemporary in nature and have a very definite message to communicate to the viewer. For example, a great number of her woodcuts, which are finished mostly in black and white, are protest pieces; examples are the "Ailing Dove," and "On a Child Burned to Death in Vietnam." At first one is most impressed by these, perhaps because the themes express the common feelings of the artist and the viewer. Everyone is horrified by the suffering of children and desires world peace. These are universal themes. Then the feeling occurs that one has seen this before, that the same serial is being rerun. One does not question the sincerity of the artist, but the originality of the medium through which the message is being communicated. In many art works there is no apparent connection between the work itself and the title. Mrs. Levy's titles, on the other hanel, are a very important part of her work. In some of th e woodcuts the titles are incorporated into the work itself. This can be overdone; one gets the overall impression that the artist is afraid that -the viewer will not get the message if the title is not attached. Among her wood·cuts. Mrs. Levy exhibits two which are beautiful in their delicate simplicity: the "Moon Garden" portraying in black and white on a blue mat a male and female figure holding hands, and the "Betrothal" in rose on a deeper rose mat portraying the full face of a woman. In these two works the artist does not purposely try to commun icate a message; in doing so she achieves a more effective communica tion. In the past the art department has sponsored all too few exhibits from art spheres outside the College.

While it would be impossible to describe all the aspects of my year of service, I can present some insight into the problems of working with Navajos. In VISTA my title was "community developer" and my job was just what the name implied. I was to recognize and expand the economy of the area to which I was assigned by analyzing the community's wants, needs, goals and resources, by establishing some sort of priority according to the importance of each goal and the amount or type of resources available that might be useful in reaching their goals, and by motivating the people to properly use these resources to achieve their goals. LEIGH GOODMAN The Arst step in the community development process might well be called entrec and acceptance, since until you a re accepted by the people and trusted you will be able to accomplish noth ing. There is more to acceptance than just personality. One must take into account that many of the Navajos speak little or no English and until a volu nteer can learn enough of the lan9uage of the Navajos, to be able ·to communicate witR them, he has little hope of getting much achieved. There is also the fact that the Navajos have had little satisfaction in past dealings with the government. It was only a century ago that Kit Carson slaughtered and starved the Navajos in to submission because the government failed to recognize that individual clan leaders did not have the authority to make treaties for the whole tribe. And only thirty years ago the government forced a stock reduction program on the Navajos. The purpose of the program was to protect the land from being devastated by overgrazing and to raise the weight and wool yield of the sheep produced. The best interests of the Indians were in mind when the .program was formulated lbut the whole approach was wrong. The government did not educate the people in planned grazing and they did not explain how it would be possible to make more money with less sheep, Pawlenok posts new finance office hours a theory that is not readily understood by uneducated people. In fact, they gave practically no reasons at all but merely determined how many sheep each geographic area could support, apportioned this number among the families of that region and killed the rest. Certainly this is an overly simpliAed judgment of the sheep reduction program and is therefore somewhat unfair to the government agencies who thought they were doing a good job. The fact remains, though, they were not. An interesting sidelight to this is the fact that VTSTAs are called "bilagaanaa" by the Indians. This word now means in translation "white man," however, it did not always have this meaning. In the past, and there · arc many Navajos alive who remember when it was so, .the word meant "someone we should kill ." A prime objective was to work with and not for the people. This was a new idea to the Navajos since they were used to the Department of Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) dictating to them. The ideas of the BIA did not seem to hold the interest of the Navajos for very long and if the Navajos were relied to perpetuate a program the project would usually fail. It was the idea of VISTA to involve the people in all aspects of community development and to work closely with them in such a way that the Navajos would realize that their part in the projects was the most Page 3 BEACON important. VISTAs were not interested primarily in combatting poverty for a year. They were more interested in changes that would evolve far in the future. Therefore it was necessary for the Navajos to have an active part so that they could continue existing programs and establish new programs after VISTA's departure . VISTAs, if nothing else. brought an awareness to the Navajos of the concept of self betterment through cooperative action. Even then if VISTAs spent a year of service without having established any lasting programs, they did at least plant a seed of thought in some people's minds and these are the people who in a few years will be form ulating and establishing their own programs. This is just a brief picture of only one area of VISTA service. There is much more to be said, some of it encouraging. some of it discouraging. I would be happy t0 discuss the VISTA program with anyone. Students and faculty may receive one reserved seat ticket free of charge; additional tickets will be 50 cents (Continued from page 1) each.

The donnybrook quickly emptied both benches for a round of fisticuffs. No penalty was called, but the Ursinus back was banished from the game. This was a fitting epithet for the Colonels' 28-0 victory over an aroused Ursinus squad before an overflowed "Parents Day" crowd at Patterson Stadium. Collegeville. With constant cheers from the partisan fans, Ursinus stopped several Wilkes scoring drives in the first quarter, aided by untimely penalties against the Colonels. Although an upset was out of the question, the Bears gave a stubborn defense until less than four minutes remained in the half. Rick Simonson, who displayed masterful c on t r o I throughout the afternoon, engineered the drive down to the Ursinus six. Shooting off right quard on a keeper, Simonson put the Colonels in front to stay. Dave Kaschak converted and the Colonels took a 7-0 lead at halftime. Early in the third quarter, Joe Wiendl, as sensational as ever, gathered in an Ursinus punt at his own four, headed for the sidelines and was off to paydirt, 96 yards away. Joe Koterba and P. J. Kane threw the blocks which gave Wiendl clear sailing. The return erased the Wilkes record held by Al Nicholas of 90 yards set in 1949. On Saturday, Wiendl ran back eight punts for a total of 191 yards and received the nominations from both schools for ECAC "Defensive Back of the Week." Three other Colonel standouts also received ECAC nomination: Bill Layden as Lineman of the Week; Dave Kaschak as Freshman of the Week; and Rich Simonson as Back of the Week. The action resumed with eight minutes left in the final period when The tie jinx plagued the Wilkes soccer team again Saturday as they ·had to settle for a 1-1 deadlock with Lycoming after 98 minutes of play in the mud and rain at Williamsport. No scoring was registered in the first half with both points coming in the third quarter. Two five-minute overtime periods failed to break the deadlock and the game ended on the 1-1 note. In their last four Middle Atlantic Conference games, the Colonels of Coach Jim Neddoff have posted one victory while the other three contests ended in ties. Wilkes scored first w ith seven min utes gone in the third period. Don Spruck took a perfect pass from Joe Kiefer, center forward. and scored from the right wing with a strong kick. With four minutes left in the period, Rick Gibson, Warrior center forward, toed the ball into the net Paul (Pepper) Merrill, left end, typifies the type of effort that has made the Colonels defense one of the from 15 yards out to knot the game . best among small colleges as he dumps Ursinus quarterback Pete D'Achille.

Kaschak again converted and Wilkes led, 21-0. The final score came with 34 seconds remaining in the game. Joe Zakowski, directing the team with an injured back, zipped an eleven yard scoring pass to Stan Zientek in the end zone. After Staake converted, the action began. After the storm, Wilkes tried an inside kick which was awarded to Ursinus after it went out of bounds. The Bears were stopped cold and the whistle sounded with Wilkes driving again. The Colonels ran up 16 first downs to nine for Ursinus. Wilkes gained 206 yards rushing to 34 for Ursinus and completed 10 of 24 passes compared to ten of 21 for 56 yards for the 1B ears. Drexel presents tough challenge by Chuck Lengle After last week's victory at Ursinus, the Colonels return to Ralston Field tomorrow for a joust with Drexel Tech. 'Last week, Drexel copped its initial victory of the season by defeating Densselaer, 33-21. In two preceding games Drexel suffered losses to Lebanon Valley, 18-16 and Upsala, 22-20. Junior quarterback Rich Unifan ran for three touchdowns in their victory and he will be the key to the Drexel offense. The Dragons have 21 lettermen returning led by Cliff Risell, a powerful middle linebacker; senior tackle John Juzwiak, a two-way performer; and speedy halfback Steve McNichol. who compiled a 4.8 rushing average last year. Jim Lynch, Joe Alessi, Ed McFillin, and McNichol provide Drexel with a solid corps of running backs but have been hampered thus far because of poor blocking from a light, inexperienced offensive line. Uni.fan will run the offense from a multiple wing T formation. ooocoooooaoooooOOOOCDCDDDCJOOO Shop at ... Drexel's defense is experienced, but lack of size has proven to be a major problem allowing the oposition almost 20 points per game. Standouts on the defensive platoon are Larry Colbert, Tony Stonis, and Risell. Drexel always gives the Colonels a rough afternoon. Last year the Schmidtmen proved victorious, 14-9 (Drexel's lone setback) due to a 76 yard punt return by Joe Wiendl. The defense has four outstanding games to its credit and should make Drexel number five.

XXVII, No. 5 Friday, October 13, 1967 Ur, ·Red Cross seek support This year's student United Fund Campaign has one week left to reach its goal of $2.500. Chairman Joe Gatto announced Tuesday that twenty per cent of the goal had been reached with more than half of the pledge cards still outstanding. He urged that each class member make every effort to give his support to this charity which helps so many worthy organizations. Solicitation cards have been made available to the freshman class by Paul Wender, freshman advisor and SG vice-president. ·The sophomore, junior, and senior classes are being solicited by their respective class officers and SG representatives. Gatto stated that those students who have not yet been contacted by their representatives should make every effort to contact some representative. Reports of on-the-spot contributions are made daily to SG. The names of all contributors and special contributors are pos·ted on the SG bulletin board. The campaign will end on Friday, October 20, and all solicitors are re- minded that they must have all pledge cards and money in by that time. Another community project which has received the personal attention of Dean George Ralston, and the students of the campus is the Red Cross blood drive. The goal is 500 pints, which is approximately 1/5 pint per student. The blood drive will be held on October 17 from 9:45 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. and students are asked to reserve a time in advance. This blood drive offers each student a chance to help the community in a very tangible way at a very slight expense to himself. Most students are aware of the great debt the College owes to the community and are ready to accept responsibility for its repayment. In return for a pint of blood a student is assured that blood will be ready free of cost to him or any member of his family, any time in the future, for any length of time and for Pictured above are leaders in the campus United Fund campaign.

Baiz, Levy exhibit pointing This week Conyngham Annex featured a collection of paintings by Elizabeth Baiz. The exhibit, on view through today, shows the artist's latest works in oils and acrylics. Mrs. Baiz has studied under the late Hans Hoffman, whose influence is apparent in a number of her works. "Ruins" exemplifies Hoffman's use of interacting rectangles of various colors. Her paintings utilize the opaque and transparent qualities of the acrylic medium. Outstanding in this respect is "Autumn Five," a hot-vibrant impasto. This painting invites the viewer to a tactile plus a visual experience because of the high mounds of paint. A number of Baiz's works are done on aluminum which can be sculpted to vary the otherwise flatly ,painted surface. Non-objective art, such as Baiz's, is not often exhibited in the Valley, and this outstanding show should be experienced. An exhibit of the drawings, paintings and prints of Mrs. Judith Spencer Levy will be presented by the College Art Department from October 15 to October 21. The opening reception will be held on October 15 at 7:30 p.m. Mrs. Levy, who graduated from Pratt Institute and New York University where she received her B.S. and M.A. respectively, will present works in many different media: oil, serigraph, casein, acrylic polymer, and ink. Mrs. Levy's works are well known in art circles, and she is represented in many private collections. She has become affiliated with a number of small galleries on Long Island and in New York City. Mrs. Levy has exhrbted her work at the Corning Museum in Elmira and Ithaca College; a one-man showing of her paintings, graphics, and sculptures was held at Two Rivers Gallery, Binghamton, in the spring of 1966. Mrs. Levy has received many awards for her work. She received first prize in graphics at the Binghamton Outdoor Art Festival in 1967. She also received an honorable mention citation at a 1966 Fine Arts Exhibit at the Roberson Center for Arts and Sciences and was recipient of a purchase award from the 1966 regional show at the Everhart ,Museum in Scranton. In 1953 the artist was sent by the Board of Adult Education, under the sponsorship of the Experiment in International Living, as a "Goodwill Ambassador" to France. She recently completed illustrations for a pioneer college-credit course on the humanities which can be viewed on Channel 13. She is currently engaged in free lance activities. - N O T I C E - Tonight, the .freshman class will sponsor a United Fund Benefit Dance in the gym from 9 to 12 a.m. Proceeds from the dance will be given towards the College's goal of $2.500 for this year's UF drive.

Lady Gregory takes a satirical look at the people of her era, people who, except for their language and clothing, are familiar to us. Her satire is never biting in nature; rather it is of a chiding, subtle nature. Trouble begins when Jack Smith and Bartley have a heated discussion at the fair. Somehow a rumor spreads and by the end of the play, Smith has been arrested for the murder of Bartley, who also has been arrested, and both are placed in the same cell The play also pokes fun at the burea~cratic system of government and its minions. George S. Kaufman's Still Alarm is the first play, and includes a fivemember, all-male cast. The situation comedy centers around the blase reactions of the cast to a hotel fire in which they are embroiled. The cast includes Gene Santarelli as the visitor; Ted Levitsky as the hotel guest; Ed Liskey as the first fireman; and Jerry The cast for Spreading the News inBowers as the bellboy.

McCourt, Steve Alillson, Fay Stein, The second play, Spreading the Cecilia Rosen, Elliot Rosenbaum, and News, by Lady Gregory, was written Dennis English. Recollections from Childhood, a dramatization by Alfred S. Groh, director of the Center for the Performing Arts, is a dramatic sequence of poems which presents the responses of children to the imagination of play. The one-act, which was presented this summer in a workshop production, presents spontaneous dramatizations of the emotions of childhood through the use of poems. From the opening yearnings of a child to be sung to about the wonders of life, to the comedy of such poems as 'Tm a penguin, and you're out of luck; you can't be one because you're a duck," the play presents an intimate recollection of childhood experience. Recollections cast includes Alice Womack, Rosemary Haydock, Rita Singer, Ann Barnes, Hazel Hulsizer, Mary Carrano, Shirley Ellis, Doris Cresko, Linda Dickinson, Sheryl Palova, Carol Duncan, Charlotte Dinans, Barbara Gonzales, and Maureen McDade. In above picture are members of the cast of "Recollections of Childhood" in rehearsal. -NOTICE- Homecoming approaches Homecoming is two weeks away. This year, as in years past, the campus organizations, clubs and dorms are being asked to participate in the festival by erecting appropriate displays at various places around the campus. Each club will use its imagination in choosing a theme (-themes should reflect the integrity and reputation of the College). The only limit placed on the organizations and clubs is the $25 red line on total expendi- tures. Displays must 'be erected Friday a,f. ternoon and remain on location until Saturday evening. Judging will be done on Saturday and the winning display will be announced at the football game that afternoon. Competition has always been keen and all participants are urged to begin work immediately if not sooner. There will also be a trophy awarded to •the best-decorated car in the car caravan. A Faculty-Student Panel. in conjunction with the Freshman Reading Program, will be held on October 17 at 11 a.m. in the Center for the Performing Arts. This panel discussion, which is mandatory for all .freshmen, will center on various interpretations of the books as viewed by faculty and students. The faculty discussants will be: Mrs. Anne Kish of the English Department and Dr. Owen D. Faut of the Chemistry Department. The student discussants will be Jay Ruckle and Thomas Giannini. �THE Page2 BEACON Friday, October 13, 1967 Cdit,,-ial The [nurse of Social Action The recent formation of the Social Actions Committee this semester is welcomed as a needed dimension in the College atmosphere. This committee plans to tackle the many problems confronting contemporary society. From the conflict in Vietn~m to the fundamental philosophic problems encountered by the individual, the committee will create a vehicle for constructive dialogue aimed at expanding the College's consciousness of the society at large and of itself. This new committee will fill the gap left by the now defunct Forum. The Forum, once a vital part of the campus, combined the informality of the kaffeeklatch, which was so conducive to discussion, with able participation of students from various disciplines leading discussion. The intellectual discussion provided by Forum is sadly missing and perhaps the Social Actions Committee will replace this needed element. There is one suggested action that the new committee might consider. In line with the liberal arts education which trains the whole man for life in the society, perhaps an interdisciplinary course concerning problems common to all areas of the academic society could be incorporated into the curriculum. Such a course could be of advantage to the freshman to acquaint him with the overriding theories which are intriguing the academic world. In the senior year such a course could serve to synthesize the intellectual experience and bring together the interdisciplinary challenges common to modern society. The scientific principles of genetics in the DNA theories, the philosophic principles in the Heisenberg theory, the sociological studies of man's nature in African Genesis, the studies of man's mind by Levi-Strauss, in the economic imperatives discussed by Galbraith in The New Industrial State and the message or massage of Marshall McLuhan would present an interesting reading list and a very electric climate for a thought-provoking course.

SUBSCRIPTION: $3.00 PER YEAR Grub's groans greet grievances ■ Dear Editor: With reference to ·Mr. Groh's letter of October 6, 1967, we wish to point out several facts that were apparently overlooked. 1. The Council of Club Presidents is a non-profit organization seeking to create a better college atmosphere through greater participation within the college and community. 2. As far as the concert is concerned, the Council of Club Presidents' aim is to provide a varied program of entertainment and recreation for our students and the members of the community, consisting of popular groups, dassical soloists, and talented performers. 3. It is to be pointed out that the director of Cue "n Curtain neglected to secure a calendar date by the appropriate deadline. In addition, it is difficult to assume the position of priority which the Fine Arts Program seems to be claiming over student-led, student..,financed programs. 4. If "The Marks of an Educated Man" declares that an educated man "participates constructively in ·the social, economic, and political life of the community," then it would appear that from last week's letter, the writer's educational principles are not in agreement with those of the College. It has a.Jways been our hope that we could cooperate with all members of the Administration, the faculty, and our fellow students. We do not wish to operate in a system of divergent interests; for the interest of all of us is Popeye pops up by Olive Brouhouski "Sure, I remember Popeye. In fact, know where ·he is today, but I suppose you want me to start at the beginning. I first met Popeye in the big 'City. I had just arrived there, hoping to obtain fame and fortune as a fashion model, when I was approached by this sailor who asked me for directions to the Thimble Theatre. Being new in New York myself, I told him I didn't know where it was, but I assumed that it must have been one of those Way off Broadway places at the other end of town. He •t hanked me and said we should 'get together,' both being strangers and all. Well, I may be from a small town and all that, but I wasn't naive. He wasn't angry when I turned down his suggestion, for I suppose that even in New York there are very few people named Oyle and I wouldn't be hard to find. "You know, his pictures don't do him justice. He may have been shorter than I was and his arms were a bit malformed but he had a very strong chin (he makes Kirk Douglas look like Andy Gump in this respect) and he had a great deal of animal magnetism. They say that from here to Hong Kong there is a string of broken hearts caused by Popeye. No girl can resist his advances when he is determined to have them. He makes Casanova look like a piker. "That same day I met Bluto. He was much larger than Popeye and had a short beard. I suppose he was more handsome than Popeye in the conventional sense of the word but he lacked that certain 00mph. It's true that he was more prone to getting physical with me than Popeye was, but then he was number two and tried harder. Still, I liked them both and saw a lot of them when they got shore leave from the Merchant Marine. Oh, I think it's time we cleared up the war record of these two fine men. In spite of what Drew Pearson said (and I won't repeat it, you can look it up in the Congressional Record) , these men joined the U.S. Navy and served together during World War II. After the war, they got honorable discharges and rejoined the Merchant Marine. "As I was saying before I so rudely interrupted myself, I saw a lot of these boys and it was only a matter of time before I foll under the spell of Popeye. I can tell the whole truth about our affair now. I suppose you have all seen pictures of Popeye's nephews and my own nephew Sweet Pea and you may have guessed that they were not really nephews; they were our children. I can feel no hatred for Popeye. He offered to marry me, but I could see that he could never be truly happy unless he was near danger and action. The poor man really had no control over his actions in any case - it was discovered years later that spinach is one of the strongest aphrodisiacs ·k nown to man, dam juice being like mere water in comparison. Imagine, that man was on a constant high! In fact, he even smoked spinach - which does not cause cancer and has the effect of a sort of 'super banana peel' ( Village Voice please note). Besides his over-stimulated libido and occasional chlorophylled trips, the only ill-effects he suffered from his inordinate spinach consumption was an attack of acute rust after he spent the night in a rainstorm. The doctors worked feverishly over his prostrate form and were able to save him with injections of penetrating oil and Rustoleum. "After Popeye returned to the Merchant Marine he found that even this proved too dull after his experiences in the Second World War. He wandered around for a while, sending me letters and funds from various places. I have settled down with my wonderful husband who understands me and has forgiven me for my youthful indiscretions. He is an advertising man now and he commutes from our home in Chester, New Jersey, to his firm on Madison Avenue. "Just recently Popeye sent my husband a letter revealing his whereabouts and his new identity. He said that after the war he was fighting in was over we could reveal the story to the world. Here it is: Remember Israel's £nest hour, or was it that long? Well, perhaps you noticed ,t hat Moishe Dayan has an eyepatch and that the Arabs were routed in a very short time. Perhaps you have also noticed that great areas of the Negev have been turned over to spinach production. I think I don't have to go any further, for you see Moishe has an anchor tattoo on his rather strangely shaped forearm ... and to think that my husband, Bluto Brouhouski, can say that he served with Dayan on the same ship in the United States Navy." the attainment and use of knowledge, personal experiences, and friendship. Sincerely, Tom Engle and Judy Simonson c◊...chairmen Council of Club Presidents Dear Editon 1n regard to Mr. Groh's letter in last week's Beacon concerning the Council of Club Presidents' concert, it is evident that Mr. Groh is really dismayed by the rescheduling of the concert date to a weekend on which a Cue 'n Curtain production is scheduled. Student Government finds it necessary to release certain information concerning Cue 'n Curtain's calendar dates. In formulating this year's calendar, the calendar -committee discovered that no request had ·b een submitted by Cue 'n Curtain. We, therefore, contacted Mr. Groh personally. It seems that Cue 'n Curtain requested the October production for Homecoming. When notified of this conflict, Cue 'n Curtain requested the preceding weekend which was then approved. Needless to say, formation of the calendar was held up by Cue 'n Curtain's lack of consideration for other campus activities. It is not my intention or that of SG to slight Mr. Groh and Cue 'n Curtain in any way, for past productions can receive nothing but praise and admiration. It is, however, our intention to point out that Mr. Groh's remarks about the Council of Club Presidents were unwarranted. Sincerely, Student Government Calendar Committee Cad Siracuse, Chairman Dear Editor: Wheeeeeeeeee! (That's the "Hippiest" exclamation of my generation that I could think of.) The fantastic Box Tops and the incredible Eddie Day ('I've never been prone to excesses in my choice of adjectives) are actually coming to the College. The scope of such an event staggers the imagination. Though I must admit that my taste is more towards Peter Pumpkin and •his Polka Paraders (Perverts?), I'm nevertheless in debt to those whose taste has made this possible. I've smashed all of my P.D.Q. Bach records merely in anticipation of the event. All that quality entertainment by artists of known caliber (I've always been a little dbscure about the definition of the words "entertainment'' and "artist"), for only $3.501 There's not much that you can do nowadays with $3.50 except perhaps to buy some square records like Rudolph Serkin playing a concerto by that long-haired hippie Mozart ( with the Cleveland Orchestra). Or I suppose you can still get seventy rolls of Necco wafers for that same $3.50. S. Hurok THE ANTHROPOMORPHINES A patch of smoke slowly poked a spiral Out of the calm in the thick of the forest. Below, death-marked marauders crouched in Pine-needled pain - or was it peace?Chanting fervent calls for rain. Colors whirlywinded dreams to harms; Sense possessed no soul; Life redeemed no goal. The forest folded her light-laced arms With patterned poise. Running from witch noise, deep into the britches Of night and buttoned from shirt tails Of light, They were lashed to a stake, where a hellfire wails In great and noble purification. Laude. Laude. They have suffered well. A litany ,t hey mumble To numb the piece of pain they seek; The rites will strike up the strong And humble down the weak. In this burning their shadows did opiate the shrieking Hames Into the silent wood consumed. And the forest shook her mighty skirts, And then the fall resumed. by Anne Aimetti �Friday, October 13, 1967 THE S.G. makes revisions by Claudia Hoch A committee has recently been appointed to work toward the revision of the Constitution of the Student Body of the College. Although no definite action has been taken as yet, work is scheduled to begin soon after Homecoming. The committee which has been selected to participate in this endeavor is composed of four Student Government representatives: Carl Siracuse, Judy Simonson, Tom Kelly, and Katie Eastman. In a recent interview Miss Eastman has expressed her ideas on this matter from two viewpoints. First, as a memher of the Student Government organ- ization, Miss Eastman feels that the student body should re-evaluate SG as a whole in order to see if it is fulfilling its purposes. This is the main reason for the revision of the constitution. As a member of the student body for whom the ·constitution is being revised, Miss Eastman recognizes a main criticism of the present constitution, that concerning the clarity and the reasoning 'behind some of the statements made in it. Presently many of the stated ideas do not lend ·themselves to adherence. In the future constitution it is hoped that these ideas can be carried out to the fullest extent, thereby giving Coffeehouse holds "hoot," shows documentary film On Wednesday, October 18 at 7:30 p.m. the College Coffeehouse will present an "Evening of 'Folk Music." The music will be presented entirely by students of the College. Tom Moretta and Dennis Jones will sing and play Bob Dylan's "Dreams." Numbers will also be played by Carrol Cobbs and Clark Bromfield. The program will be held in St. Stephen's Parish House; admission is 50 cents.

The American Documentary Film Association's "Sons and Daughters" may be shown at the end of October or at a later date. The theme of the film, which has been described as one of the most excellent documentaries available, is a protest of war. It opens with shots of the Berkeley riots of 1965, and through a series of contrasts shows soldiers training on an army base, and scenes from Vietnam and N u re m b e r g . Through the entire film contemporary songs of protest can be heard. The first of four Bergman films, "The Silence," has been shown; the Coffeehouse enjoyed a good attendance for this film.

CITY SHOE REPAIR • • • "-• "•o Page 3 BEACON the constitution a more meaning.fol interpretation. This clarity includes an understanding of the structural outline of SG. In Article Il, Section IV of the constitution it states one of the goals to be "to supplement educational purposes of the school through discussions, seminars, and appropriate action." For this idea to be realized it must be carried out. Under the future constitution this goal will be realized since it will be phrased in such a manner that it will leave no doubt as to the meaning behind such a statement. Article VII mentions a Court of Appeals. Although it is necessary to have such a court, it is presently inactive. In the .future constitution it is hoped that this court will be given new or additional duties in order that it can remain as an active group. Incorporated into this constitution will be action which will hopefully encourage student participation. At present SG is composed of various standing committees made up of one or two of its own me·mbers. It is planned that under the future constitution a SG com!Jlittee chairman will choose four or five people from the student body to aid these standing committees by submitting reports at SG meetings. In this way the student will really have a say in •his government. There are also ,p lans being made in the near future for a constitutional delegation. This delegation will be comprised of four or Ave members from each class who will be chosen by members of the class executive council. These students will aid the original committee members in revising this constitution, thereby giving the student body the greatest say in deciding the functions and purposes of their government. Soc. instructor returns Those students who took sociology courses several years ago probably remember Miss Marene Olson. She was a member of the sociology department from 1964-1966. Miss Olson, who has rejoined the sociology department after a year's absence, received her •W ·hen Miss Olson was a junior in high school, she lived for a year in Ilo-llo City in the Phillipines. She described it as a non-industrialized area with a popula,tion of 50,000 to 60,000. The Phillipines is composed of a group of 7,000 islands; Ilo-lllo City is on the central island. Having gained many friends while she lived there, she had a chance to visit them. This also enabled Miss Olson to enjoy the Phillipines from more than a tourist's standpoint. The Peace Corps is very active in the Phillipines. When asked to give her personal views of the work being done there, she said ,t hat the Corp is no doubt doing very much on the islands, but much could be done to improve the ,program. She also stated that in looking back on her experiences, she was most impressed by the ,friendliness, kindness, and unselfishness of the Orientals. Miss Marene Olson A.B. from Hiriam College and her M.A. from Kent State University in Ohio. The time of her absence was spent very productively. She traveled for six months through Okinawa, Tapai, and the ,Phillipines doing informal research. Upon her return, she taught sociology for two semesters at American International College in Springfield Massachusetts. Miss Olson is satisified to be back at the College, and much surprised at its expansion and the changes that have occured in her absence. -NOTICEDue to an error in listing of the Spring semester Dean's List the following names were omitted from ·t he list which appeared in last week's issue: Rosalie Susan Lonkoski, 3.58, B.S. in physics; Joyce Marie Nahas, 3.49, A B. in English; David Allen Thomas: 3.60, A.B. in psychology. * * * • * From the Beacon of November 12, 1948 Twenty fortunate people are ready to go to Cuba for the Christmas holidays.

The Colonels opened up the scoring during the second period. John Santo received credit .for the goal as the ball glanced off his leg after a booming shot by Jim Kennedy. Two minutes later the Colonels scored again as Rich Beck assisted John Santo crossing in front of the goal. The Red Devils, however, did not falter and were able to score before halftime. Lee Keller lined a perfect shot passed Tom Rokita. Early in the .fourth period the Colonels were -the targets of an unfortunate break. Goalie Tom Rokita fell after being kicked in the leg acciden-tly, leaving an open net for Lee Keller who scored the equalizer. The two overtime periods saw an equally contested defensive struggle while no scoring was involved. As in the Upsala game the Colonels managed 51 shots-on-goal to the Red Devils 23. The Colonels instituted a third fullback to try to improve its defense against Dickinson. Even with this attack it appears the Colonels sorely need Ed Manda if it wants a well-rounded defense to coincide with its blistering offensive attack.

And as we all know he came through as usual. This is something we have grown to expect from Joe. Intramural schedule Intramural touch football began this week with three games scheduled in the two leagues. All games begin at 4:15 p.m. After having an 81 yard punt return nullified by a penalty, Joe Wiendl came back in the closing minutes of the Delaware Valley contest to score the winning touchdown on a spectacular 69 yard jaunt. It is for the latter feat plus his overall game performance that has earned Joe the title Athlete of the Week. Joe 's punt and kickoff returns are thrilling sights as he runs over, around, and through all would-be tacklers, bringing the crowd to its feet. Last year he ran back 36 punts for 361 yards and one touchdown, and four kickoffs for 84 yards. This is just one phase of Joe's talents which won for him last year's "Athlete of the Year" Award from the Beacon and the College.

The Aggies soon upped the score to 7-0 as Floyd Ritter's placement split the uprights. Behind by seven points the Colonels started marching down the field on successive running and passing plays. With the end zone in close sight, a daring Aggie defensive rush racked up Rick Simonson, the Colonel quarterback, and he was .forced to leave the field. Minutes later -the Colonels got the football back as defensive end Pepper Merrill recovered a .fumble deep in Del Val territory. Faced with the dilemma of having none of his three signal callers in top physical shape, Coach Rollie Schmidt summoned last week's hero Joe Frappolli. On the first play the Ursinus presents breather by Chuck Lengle After last Saturday's one point victory over the Aggies of Delaware Valley, the Colonels can look forward to what should be an easy victory tomorrow afternoon when they travel to Collegeville to take on the Ursinus Bears. This is rebuilding year for the Bears, and Coach Dick Whatley is experiencing a rough campaign thus far . Last week the Bears were soundly defeated by Johns Hopkins, 43-0. At quarterback, Ursinus has Pete D'Achille, a 50 per cent passer who ranked third in the division in scoring and T:O connections (six) last year. D'Achille can throw long or short, and he is not afraid to run with the ball when necessary. The backfield has given Whatley many sleepless nights as he tries to find capable replacements for -fullback Tony Motto (fifth-leading rusher in the division last year) and halfback Dennis Sicker, both lost via graduation. ,Bob McDonald has been operating at full back but he has lacked any consistency so far this year. Rich DiEugenio, Mike Mangan, and Gary Dolch provide solid blocking up front. DiEugenio might be forced to go both ways this Saturday - guard on offense and linebacker on defense. The Bears will operate out of an I formation with a split end and a flanker. The Bears are an exceptionally small team with no more than eight ,players topping the 200 pound mark. The Colonels lead the Bears in victories (8-3.) shutting them out the past two years, 24--0 and 34-0. After Delaware Valley, I seriously doubt if the Bears can offer little resistance to the "Colonel Machine." If the defense is ready to rack up their nrst shutout and if the "walking wounded" are healed, then I confidently predict a one-sided victory for -the Colonels.

After sitting out a week of practices because of an injury sustained in the Moravian game, Zakowski brought the screaming Parents' Day aggregation to their feet with an arching trajectile to· Joe Skvarla in the end zone. The catch was Skvarla's twenty-seventh of his college career and established a new W ilkes reception record. The old mark of 26 was set by Ted Travis-Bey from 1961 to 1964. Dave Kaschak's placement tied the game at 7-7. With only seconds remaining in the half, Joe Wiendl picked up a punt and sped 81 yards to paydirt, but the play was nullified on a clipping infraction. The Aggies entered the second half fired up as Timko completed successive aerials to Dennis Shark and Joe Franchella. With the ball on the one yard line Timko capped the attack with a sneaker to put Del Val ahead 13-7. The all important extra point attempt by Ritter was wide of its mark. For approximately the next 15 minutes of game time both teams were unable to penetrate with the ball. The setting was now in good order for Wiendl's gem. Receiving the punt on his 31 yard line, Wiendl picked up his blockers perfectly and romped in all the way .for the score. The frenzied Colonels fans were screaming on their feet as Kaschak's placement broke the 13 fo 13 deadlock. On the kickoff to Del Val. Aggie receiver Franchella lost control of the ball on the ten. Bob Gennaro wisely jumped on the loose ball and the Wilkesmen had another chance to hit the board. The Colonels were stopped in their quest, but the Aggies were forced to take control of the ball with less than a minute left, deep in their own backyard. As the final gun sounded the Aggies had reached -the midfield stripe, but that is where it all ended .

XXVII, No. 4 Campas welcomes parents Viel Nam policies revie1Ved al healed BEACON debate The first in a series of Beacon debates was held on Monday, October 2, in Stark 116. The subject was the Vietnam War. Hawks, Harold Cox and Donald Tappa , were opposed by Owen Ireland and Tom Engel, who were disturbed over the historical aspects of the war. A moral argument against the war was presented by Roman Tymchyschyn while Tedj E . Hadj-Chikh expressed a sympathetic attitude towards ·the Vietcong. Before the overflowing crowd, each panel member, in a three to five minute summary, stated his position on the Vietnam issue. After the summaries, the panel members questioned each other as to certain effects caused by the war and the validity of observations made by fellow panel members. Finally, the discussion was opened to the audience who responded by asking the panel questions concerning the reasons for the war and the ,possible results of a withdrawal. They tried to commit the panel by suggesting some solution. The following is a transcript of the opening remarks of the panel members. David Frey: " .. . I'd like to welcome you . .. to Stark 116 for the first in a series of Beacon Debates. Tonight's debate is on Vietnam and we have six faculty members here from different fields and who display a very varied opinion on the subject. On my extreme right is Dr. Harold Cox of the History Department (laughter and applause). Next to him is Dr. Tappa of the Biology Department; Dr. Ireland also of the H istory Department; Tom Engle, a senior history major and ·president of Junius-1.R.C.; Roman Tymchyshyn of the Art Department; and Tedj Hadj-Chikh, a graduate student from Algeria. "I would like to start tonight's debate by first telling you the pattern of the debate. Each member of the panel will give a three to five minute explanation of his position on the war. After that, members of the panel will hand questions . . . to me which they would like to ask other members of the panel. After that we will throw the debate open to questions from the floor . So right now I would like to begin with Dr. Cox, who will give his position. Dr. Cox: '1 will be brief. It is, I assume, generally known on campus that if you use arbitrary terms, to refer to positions on the Vietnamese War, that I would fall into a category of a hawk's hawk. I prefer, quite frankly, not to use such terms, because I think there has been entirely too much indiscriminate verbiage used, particularly in the last couple of months, indeed in the last couple of weeks, to a point where the name-calling and the attempts of certain Republicans to gain political prominence in the United States, completely obscure the original issue. Rather than try to give any solution to the problem - I have none - or to even advocate how the war, which we are in at this time, can be won. "Since I don't really know, I will make three or four general observa- Rec room opens for oil by Sandra Vici The Student Recreation Room opened recently for day and dorm students of the College. It is located in the basement of the New Men's Dorm and can be entered either directly from the rear of the dorm or from the lounge behind the caf. It opens at 9 a.m. Monday through Friday and 11 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Sunday through Thursday it closes at 11 p.m. while Friday and Saturday it is open until 2 a.m. The area is divided into three rooms. One contains a color TV and vending machines which will provide sandwi ches, hot and cold drinks, and other refreshments. The second room con- tains a variety of pin ball machines, and the third is a spacious wood panelled room equipped with pool and ping-pong tables, a color TV, juke box, and tables and chairs. This room is large enough for dances, · and overhead lighting has been installed for use by a band if desired. Games such as Scrabble and Parcheesi are also available, but a student must present his ID card to obtain one. The Administration, SG, IDC, and the CCP have worked diligently to provide an area where both day and dorm students can socialize. This facility is for all students and it is expected that students who use this area will take care of it properly. by Carol Okrasinski The Parents' Day Planning Committee headed by Joe Gatto, president of Student Government, and Bill Bush, president of Interdormitory Council, has announced that the fifth annual Fall Parents' Day will be held tomorrow. Letters of invitation have been sent to all parents. Registration will be held in the new dining hall from 9 to 11 a.m. All campus buildings will be open, guided tours will be available and parents will have an opportunity to visit with the faculty . At 10 a.m. the soccer team will play host to Dickinson at Ralston Field. At 11 a.m. seminars concerning academic studies, student activities, and related topics will be held. An informal buffet luncheon will be served at noon in the College gymnasium, at which time Dr. Farley will address the parents and friends. At 2 p.m. the football team will play host to Delaware Valley at Ralston Field. tions, which some of my colleagues here may wish to get me to elaborate on later in the proceedings.

I might say the President was elected by an overwhelming majority . He has available, even though I didn't vote for him (laughter), far more information concerning the relationship of this war to world affairs •in general and to the Vietnamese situation in particular, than I have. I do not act so presumptuously as to say either the President has been brainwashed, or that he is capable of brainwashing someone else. He has the information. Something like -40 million people voted to let him make the decisions. If they don't like it, I think they should at ·l east not try to undermine him until the election in 1968. The second point involves the question of security. This generally, involves a heated debate over the quest ion of the so-called "Domino Theory." I will say here, very briefly, that I don't know if all of Southeast Asia will fall if we pull out or not. I am not, however, willing to give it a try to find out.

In addition to a revision of Student Government's influence in extra-curricular activities, this undertaking presents an unlimited opportunity for studying the role of the student in the formulation of academic policy in today's college and discussing the right of the student to assume this responsibility. The right of the student to rule is disputed by arguments of this nature. Students lack the maturity and experience necessary for such responsibility. Since they have a short-term connection with the College, they have a corresponding loyalty. Students would be disinterested with what goes on at most faculty committee meetings and would have nothing to contribute to them. If the student can do a better job of teaching than the faculty, then he ought to be doing the teaching. Contrary to these arguments, the student does have a contribution to make to the college community. If participation in these activities is not granted , it is because of the apathy of the student or because the faculty and Administration do not want the conveniences of the present system disrupted. The present Student Government constitution, which makes no definite provision for the academic development of the stu dent, should be changed by the revision committee to provide communication within the College. This would create a tri-partite council of student, faculty, and Administration for the development of educational policy. The student would then be represented in an official instrument of educational policy.

This was quickly resolved, and for obvious reasons, in the former 's favor . (The "odor" of a voice isn't translatable; the proponents rested their argument on the ideal case that "never" obtains, for the few exceptions merely serve to prove the general rule.) In the usual case, however, the borrower of a film. who has to make a special reques-t to get a dubbed print, is rewarded for his effort with a cut one.

The students and teachers who came to see this discussion seem to have refuted the charge that this campus is nothing more than a large high school in its apathy towards world affairs. The debate was heated but not hostile and after the debate there was lively discussion going on among members of the audience as they discussed and defended their often diametrically opposed points of view. When such an intelligent and thoughtful discussion as the one held Monday can occur on the campus, it indicates that the student body has become active and is moving forward. The Beacon has long fought against Campus Apathy; this apathy may no longer exist. We may lose one of our pet topics, but we would like nothing better than that.

Pompously yours, Mr. O''Prey rresh•en allend reading classes by Oaudia Hoch As a part of the orientation program, freshmen are again participating in a book-reading project. This ,past summer the incoming freshmen read three works: Lord of the Flies by William Golding; Two Cultures1 and a Second Look by C. P. Snow; and Call It Sleep by Henry Roth. Once each week freshmen meet in individual groups, with an upperclassman presiding, in order -to discuss the readings. Joe Gatto, this year's chairman of the project, has expanded the program's purposes. The program provides an opportunity for incoming freshmen to begin the reading habit early and therefore to better ,prepare themselves for formal college curriculum. The selection of literature is designed -to stimulate thinking, motivate the examination and evaluation of one's own beliefs and develop a set of personal values. The student leader establishes an informal atmosphere and prompts the freshmen to feel free to offer opinions and to develop clarity of expression. Although it is too early to evaluate this year's entire program, one pur• J>011e has already been acoomplished; most freshmen have already read the boob. Unfortunately this aloae is not enough. The majority of freshmen have failed to see the importance of openly discussing and evaluating what they have read. However, these 6nt three weeks are their Brst initiation iii.to college life and this may account for some of the apparent indifference. The third week of the program will entail a discussion of the book Call It Sleep. The freshmen should have well formulated ideas concerning this book since it has been a topic for discussion as well as composition in the freshman composition classes. The book i1seH provides a wide range of ideas that deal with the psychological experiences of David Schear!, a young boy who is faced with growing up in the ugly world of the New York slums. The student discussants handle their classes in various ways. Some find it best to ask controversial questions in order to stimulate diverse opinions while others set up unapparent hypothetical theories to provoke student reaction. Each of the discussants deals with the books in the way he feels will be most beneficial to his respective class. Some of the discussants, who are from various fields of study, have seen room for improvement in certain aspects of the program. Miss Eastman feels that "the freshman would show more interest in a better selection of books; therefore, this year's freshman class should have a larger voice in next year's selection of books." From her sessions with freshmen, Miss Osborne feels the reaction of the .freshmen to this year's reading program is for the most part pitiful. There seems to be a general disinterest concerning the choice of books. Unfortunately, since no possible selection of books would ever satisfy students of such varied interest, the noble purpose of the program may never succeed. This year's selection of books was made by representatives of Student Government in conjunction with Eng. Iish department suggestions. The committee has attempted to include selections from diverse realms of thought, including philosophy, sociology, science, and contemporary literature. a coffee break is a fine one, shouldn 't this break come in the interval between screenings, when both aud iences could mingle, rather than in the middle of the film, as happened ( for some reason) last Friday? The days when reel breaks reftected film structure are long gone, after all. One real improve. ment over last year's programs should be mentioned: the houselights were cut, not just dimmed , as happened all too often in the past. A final (puzzled) query: It seems strange, doesn't it (sometime I'd like to ask the English department just how -to punctuate this one) that in a community of this size the three or four separate groups interested in the film aren't working together. Not only is it more than likely that there are things they could learn from each other, but in unity there is increased etc. Yours, etc. Roman Tymchyshyn Dept. of Fine Arts Presidents' council lacks consideration Dear Editor: I am dismayed by the seeming lack of consideration for the educational principles of the College approved by the recent action of the club presidents in planning and concluding arrangements for a forthcoming promotional event to be held on campus. Perhaps it has been proposed that this organization form a corporation; perhaps it has been recommended that this new organization each week promote for profit a current, popular singing group; perhaps it has been suggested that these conditions might bes-t serve the interests of the student body by providing a fund to eliminate tuition charges, erect a large music hall, and offer admission to Wilkes to the interested number of high school students attracted by such programs. H my sentiments are incompatible with the aims of the club presidents who represent the student organizations, perhaps it will also be suggested that my educational principles and those of the College are outmoded.

However, we made a grave error and failed to print the first paragraph of his letter. Since this paragraph has a definite effect on ·the whole tone of the letter, we have printed it below. We apologize for any inconvenience or embarrassment we may have inadvertently caused Dr. Perkus or the Bookstore. Dear Editor: Two articles in the September 22 Beacon comment on the need of a college to stimulate intellectual growth. Dr. Farley's speech stresses the role of education in nurturing "intellectual and spiritual values." ·Dr. Ireland's ,l etter insists that the "most precious gift which can be given by a liberal arts college" is "uninterrupted •time to read, to think, to talk, and to write . . . " Wilkes College, I believe, is making sincere efforts to provide various opportunities for intellectual growth. One area, however, in which I know that many members of the facul1y and student body agree that improvement is long and sadly overdue is in the quality and quantity of services offered by the College's bookstore. con printed a letter from Blood appeal slated soon The annual fall Blood Drive is scheduled for October 17, in the gym from 9:45 a .m. to 3:45 p.m. The goal is 500 pints of blood. Every individual and every organization should ·feel a responsibility to put forward his best efforts where human need is concerned. The drive will be organized on a dormitory and class basis. Students will be asked to make individual appointments to donate blood. In this each student can find a time convenient for him. No individual will be required to spend more than a half hour in giving blood. It has been that people do not give blood for various reasons: lack of concern, ,fear, and physical disability. 'For such a cause there is no excuse for simple negligence. There is also no reason to fear giving blood because the body will replenish the pint in a short time without any ill effects. Physical disability should be the only reason for not giving blood. With a student body of over 2,000 and a faculty of 130, it is felt that 500 pints can easily be obtained. Certainly one out of five ought to donate a pint of blood so those in need of a li-fegiving substance might be satisfied. -NOTICEA freshman class meeting will be held next Tuesday at 11 a.m. in the gym. The United Fund and Blood Drives will be discussed. All freshmen must attend. �Friday, October 6, 1967 THE Page 3 BEACON Sweeper Bill is Prof finds happy home campus favorite by Lynn Glomb Wilkes welcomes a new assistant professor in English, Dr. Gerald H . Perkus. He taught a course in fresh man composition this summer and is currently teaching Victorian poetry, world literature, and speech. Before he came to this college Dr. Perkus taught for three years at Babson Institute, a college of business administration in Wellesley, Massacusetts. He completed his undergraduate study at Brooklyn College in 1959 and was awarded a National Defense Act Fellowship to attain his doctorate from the University of Rochester. Dr. Perkus stated that he found Wilkes students interested in learning and more highly motivated than the business students he had taught previously. He was also impressed by his colleagues in the English department; the helpfulness and friendliness of these people helped him to adjust to his new position.

However. as Miss Marcks explained, in the United States such an exposure does not exist, and she wants her students to have the same chance to learn a foreign language through exposure as a European has. Miss Marcks chose to teach at the college level because she enjoys working with college students. She finds them more individualistic and just "easier to talk to" than any other age group involved in education. She chose Wilkes in particular because there is a mixed student body, the college is small, and the local area is not congested as New York City. issues but approved that the paper was taking a crusading position regarding important issues. He warned that a good school paper must remember not to take a negative attitude and to recognize the good aspects of school events. He was pleased to see the ad for the recent Vietnam debate, since he believes that college students should be involved in political issues. "This type of discussion is important in developing the student's critical ability, and it may eventually inHuence national policy. " Dr. Perkus is an advocate of independent research, especially in the humanities. He supports all movements the College is making toward having seminars in addition to lectures. At these informal sessions, students not only report on their work, but learn to evaluate it objectively. He is involved in research in Victorian poetry, and ·h e has submitted an article based on his thesis for publication. Dr. Perkus selected Wilkes because it is relatively small and offers more opportunity for general dialogue, a necessary element for education. "I find it a very stimulating place to be, " he said.

Two school records were broken in outstanding individual performances by Danny Malloy, who intercepted five of •M oravian's 40 pass attempts, and Joe Skvarla, who was on the receiving end of seven passes for a total of 90 yards. Malloy's feat broke the record for pass thefts in one game and puts him in a good position to break Brinley Varchol's season record of five interceptions. The Schmidtmen, now 15-0 over the past three years, took the opening kickoff and quickly marched to the Moravian three yard line where a fum ble halted the drive. The Colonels contracted '"fumbleitis" in the game. fumbling the ball on six different occasions. Three plays later, Malloy made the first of his record--breaking intercep, tions as he pilfered a Jim Dietz pass on the Greyhound 47 yard line. Joe Zakowski directed the Colonels to paydirt, plunging over from the one yard stripe on a keeper. Dave Kaschak made good on the PAT and the Colonels were out in front to stay 7-0. During the next Colonel series, Zakowski was injured on what appeared to be deliberate piling on by the Greyhounds. Zakowski was shaken up and Coach Schmidt inserted Joe Frappolli at quarterback. Rick Simonson, the other available QB, was playing defense in place of the injured Jay Ho!. liday. Frappolli, long considered a fine runner and a poor passer, quickly completed six of seven aerials for 68 yards and two touchdowns. Several of his completions to Skvarla were spectacular as the rangy end leaped high into the air to snare Frappolli's "interception-proof" passes. Frappolli's first TD pass was to Doug Forde from the four yard line with 12:54 left in the halt The PAT was wide to the right and the Colonels led 13-0. 1Minutes later, Malloy made his second theft, leaping high into the end zone to prevent a Moravian touchdown. After the Wilkes drive stalled, tMoravian started to move the ball but Ma 11 o y was ""Johnny-on-the-spot"' again and intercepted a Dietz pass on the Moravian 35. It seemed as if Malloy were the primary receiver in the pattern because Dietz threw the ball right to him. Again Frappoli went to the air and hit Skvarla in the end zone with 3:17 left in the half. Skvarla's catch was a leaping, one-hand job that would have made a professional proud. After Kaschak converted, the score read 20-0. Malloy intercepted the ball again at the midfield stripe before the half end, ed but the Colonels were unable to take advantage of it. This was Malloy's fourth interception of the game and broke the single-game record of three held jointly by Joe Wiendl and P. J. Kane. ·As well as the. Colonels played in the first half, the second half was a complete reversal. The offense was unable to put together any kind of a sustained drive as Coach Schmidt desperately groped for a successful combination. Wilkes opened the secondhalf scoring when Bill Layden and "Pepper" Merrill broke through the Greyhound line in a savage burst and nailed Dietz in the end zone for a safety. Coach Rocco Calvo's squad finally hit pay dirt with 3: 17 left in the third quarter when Dietz hit Hanker Roger Knisley from the five for the TD. Gary Hegel tackled Dietz before he could even set up for the PAT and the score remained 22-6. With 14:02 left in the game, Malloy picked off his fifth interception, this one from substitute quarterback Greg Sey,fert. On the next Greyhound series, P. J. Kane stopped a Moravian drive by intercepting a Seyfert pass on the Colonel 15. Hegel also got into the act when he intercepted a Seyfert pass later in the game. With 18 seconds remaining on the clock, Seyfert scored on a keeper which the Colonels violently protested. The Wilkes protest was based on the Athlete of the Week by George Pawlush On the strength of his record breaking performance against Moravian, junior safety Danny Malloy has been selected by the Beacon as Athlete of the Week. The Greyhound offensive aerial attack couldn't get very far off the ground last Saturday, as Malloy intercepted five of their passes. Four of these came in the first quarter and set up the three Colonel scores. The five interceptions shattered the previous mark of three that was shared by P. J. Kane and Joe Wiendl. Malloy also tied the season high of five, which was set last year by Brin Varchol. With six games to go he has a fine chance of eclipsing this record. Mal1oy has been a standout defensive secondary-player for the past two seasons. He was one of the major reasons for the Colonel pass defense which didn't yield one touchdown last year. A former West Side Catholic standout, Malloy was a three sport man in football, wrestling, and track. At Wilkes he lettered the past two years in football. Joe Zakowski jaunts in from the one, scoring Wilkes' first touchdown early in the first quarter after Joe Roszko and Ed Burke (71) opened a big hole in the Moravian line. fact that Sey,fert's head and not the ball crossed the end line. The officials ruled in favor of the Grey.hound touchdown and the gun sounded with the Colonels on top, 22-12. rrhe Moravian squad played a rough game, with the result that the Colonels sustained many injuries and the victory was a costly one for Coach Schmidt with the availability of a few starters in doubt for next week's contest. The Colonels entertain the Aggies of Delaware Valley this Saturday in a Parents' Day affair. The game should be a good one and will be crucial because both teams need a victory to remain in contention for the championship in the Northern Division.

Overall, the Colonels tomorrow a.fternoon at Ralston Field. Delval was considered a threat to unseat Wilkes as champ of the Northern Division in the Middle Atlantic Conference this year but was surprised by ·M oravian in their season's opener 28-21. Last Saturday the Aggies turned back Upsala by a lopsided score of 34-6, -holding the Vikings to minus 40 yards rushing. The Delval defense ranked first last year in ·the Northern Di v i s i on (Wilkes, a close second) allowing only 56.2 yards gained per game. The defensive platoon remains intact from last year when they put up a stubborn battle against Wilkes, losing 6-0. Four year starters Rich Kelly and Dennis Dobrowalski provide the nucleus o-f this platoon. The main thrust of the Aggies' offense is centered around the excellent quarterbacking of Ron Timko, a local standout from Plains. Also in the backfield with Timko are a pair of fine runners and pass receivers, sophomore Denny Shank and junior John Nice. The Aggies will operate from a protype offense and Timko will probably have the ball in the air most of the afternoon. The blocking up front is solid with returning lettermen Dick Kelly and John Duffy manning the tackle positions and Wayne tM ehalick over the ball. The Colonels won the first half of last week's encounter with Moravian however, the Colonels played another outstanding game (something the Wilkes fans are becoming accustomed to) and racked up their fifteenth consecutive voctory. Danny Malloy, Joe Frappolli, and Joe Skvarla shared individual honors in last week's contest. Malloy's five pass interceptions broke the Wilkes game record for pass thefts, which tied him with Brin Varchol .for the club's season record. Frappolli came off the bench in the second quarter and completed six of seven -passes and moved the team very well. "Skylark" shattered the Wilkes pass reception mark as he pulled in seven passes for 90 yards - all in the first half. Bill Staake also did a commendable job with his "golden toe." Staake had kicks travel 49 and 56 yards. He finished the afternoon just a fraction under 40 yards per kick. This is definitely a "must game" for both schools tomorrow a f t e r n o on . Delval must win to keep its chances alive for a Northern Division championship and the Colonels must win if they expect to repeat as champs for the third year in succession, The Colonel secondary will be faced with another afternoon of passes - something they have grown to expect in the past two weeks. If none of the injuries are serious, I see Wilkes winning a close game.

XXVII, No. 3 Library takes shape by Carol Okrasinski According to Walter Mohr, Director of Development, the College's $1,800,000 library, currently under construction, has a tentative date of completion scheduled for the spring of 1%8. The five-story structure located on the corner of South and Franklin Streets with entrance facing the Commons will have a maximum accommodation of 300,000 volumes, with adequate study areas for 600 students, fulfilling requirements for national accreditation. During the extensive campaign for additional funds needed to complete this construction, Miss Annette Evans, a member of the board of trustees of the College, explained: "A library is a collection of books, but it is also a place to house them. The one must be worthy of the other. For a library is the heart of a college, it is a center of learning. It is the storehouse from which good comes for the mind and spirit." By action of the board of trustees in the fall of 1966, it has been decided to name the edifice the Eugene Sheddon Farley Library. Attorney Charles Waller, chairman of the board of trustees, summed up the feeling of the trustees this way: "Dr. Farley 'h as been the very heart of Wilkes CoHege since its inception. In that a ·l rbrary is the academic heart of an educational institution, it seemed only fitting that the Wilkes library should carry the name of the man who has given so unseJ.fishly of himself to make Wilkes College the vibrant, living institution that it is." The architectural design has evolved into a modified Victorian style with exterior of WHliamsburg brick trimmed in limestone . The interior will be wall to wall carpeted; special lighting effects and air-conditioning will be used in order to supplement the sparsity of •window space. The electrically heated buiiding will have elevator service although not for student usage. Circulation desks and offices of the librarians will be located on the main Boor. The main and second Boors will have memorial rooms such as the Eleanor Coates Farley Memorial Room and rooms to contain the Admiral Stark collec'tion and the Gilbert McCl in tock coHection, both of whom were formerly chairmen of the board of the College. The Polish Room wiH also be located on one of these Boors. The second and third levels will contain faculty and student study areas and the graduate library which is now located in Stark Hal.J. The lower level will provide space for audio-visual studies and reference rooms. Library takes on Victorian look as building moves to June completion.

Fund campaign pledged support would benefit all of Luzerne County .. ." It seems inconceivable that the highly respected heads of W ilkes College, King's College, and College Misericordia could display provincialism that reeks of professional jealousy," and, "How they could justify the statement that a four-year college here consUtutes a threat to their respective institutions is beyond comprehension." That these respective institutions do regard the establishment of a fouryear college at Drums as dangerous to their existence is, however, a fact. Perhaps the perceived threat comes not from the creation of the college itself but from the probable decrease it would cause in state aid to the private institutions. During an interview on September 20, Dr. Eugene S. Farley explained that, to some degree, the area 's private institutions depend upon financial aid from the state to hel,p keep tuition costs as low as possible. H, without adequate planning, a new state-sponsored college were in- traduced into the county, taxes would eventually increase, or aid to the private colleges would eventually de crease. In any event, the .Jong range result seems to be an increased finan cial burden upon the state with a concomitant preference by students for the state-owned college. This movement could finally cause a serious loss in tuition income to the private colleges. In order to avoid an occurrence of this general nature, the leaders of independent colleges throughout the state have supported a State Council of Higher Education and encouraged adherence to its Master Plan which they hope will bring order to "the existing chaos in higher education." When asked to expound his views on the present Kis-Lyn situation, President Farley indicated that he would like to see a comprehensive educational development plan by the state carried through. Ribas given dodorate Jose Ribas, Spanish instructor at the College, received his doctorate this summer in Romance Philosophy. He was graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Madrid, Spain. J.t is more difficult to ·o btain the doctorate degree in Spain than in the United States. It was necessary for Dr. Ribas to de-fend his 513-page thesis before a panel of five professors, who questioned his work at a solemn ceremony. The title of Dr. Ribas' thesis is: "Stylistic Study of the Novel 'Fortunata y Jacinta,' by Benito Perez Galclos." In this work, Dr. Ribas shows th e relationship between form and theme of the novel. It is a realistic novel about the customs of Madrid in the second half o-f the nineteenth century. The author presents the figures of the novel in an objective way, which was a new technique for literature of that time. Like Balzac, Galdos parallels -life by using recurring characters. Because of his use of dreams and thoughts to develop his characters, he is sometimes referred to as a forerunner of James Joyce , English translations of Gald_os are available. His popularity in America may be due to his similarity to our people; he is liberal , progressive, and broad-minded. In fact , the best biography of Galdos was written by an American professor. Dr. Ribas will be teaching a course, "The Nineteenth Cen'tury Spanish Novel," where he will incorporate many of his ideas on Galdos learned through his extensive research. The permanent secretary of the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language was the doctor's supervisor. He is the most important linguist in Spain, and has lectured in the United States. He corresponded with Dr. Ribas during his research, and it was -he who suggested that the panel award him the citation of "summa cum laude." Dr. Ribas encourages students to work toward the doctorate degree. There is tremendous increase in -the number of graduate students obtaining master's degrees, making the importance of the doctorate even greater. �THE Page2 (t/it,,.i11/ Friday, September 29, 1967 BEACON /.ettt/'J t, tl,e et/it,,. The Need for Dialogue As the College moves headlong into another semester, the students and faculty have become concerned with certain problems confronting the development of curricular and extra-curricular activities. The Beacon asks that some dialogue be set up among the committees of the faculty, Administration, and Student Government to find the causes of concern and implement some action to facilitate solution. One of the most pressing concerns is the shortage of textbooks available to the student. What are the problems which have caused unnecessary delay in the development of course material? Is it not possible that a bookstore large enough to accommodate sufficient textbooks and supplies as well as supplementary materials for academic study be made available to the students and faculty? Is there not a revision necessary in the method of purchasing textbooks and supplies, and the procedures used to estimate the 11umber of books required for a course? The problem has caused serious delays, but we cannot delay in finding a solution. Concern has also been expressed through letters to this paper on the educational purposes and responsibilities of the College. The need for a dialogue in this critical area has also expressed itself in a recent faculty memorandum. The problem of financial responsibility and degree of specialization necessary to compete in contemporary society inhibit the effectiveness of the liberal education. Should not a constant discussion of the problems facing the educational structure be arranged between students and faculty to discuss this fundamental problem? The growth and change in the college have made necessary a revision in the student handbook. This orientation booklet serves as the student's initial introduction to campus life. The anachr~:misms and errors evident in this year's handbook fail to portray a balanced view of the College. It would seem appropriate that a study of the changes needed in the handbook should begin immediately to insure successful presentation next year. Recent restrictions on campus dress (no miniskirts) have caused some discussion as to the rights of the individual student. Psychologists have labeled clothing as being a means of self expression and since the college cultivates self expression, are these restrictions? Can fashion accepted by the society at large be restricted by a society encouraging the freedom of the individual? Does the individual dictate his own requirements for communication or are they dictated at the expense of the student? These concerns present before the student body and faculty limit the success of the college environmnt. We urge the responsible leaders of the College to begin the actions necessary to provide adequate study of these problems.

It is merely an outlet for essential "supplies" like loose-leaf paper, sweatshirts, and text. books, which are dispensed lfrom behind a counter in 'the manner of a grocery store rather than modern supermarket. There are no open racks of paperback books such as one finds in bookstores of quality colleges and universities throughout the country . Thus, there is no opportunity for the fine art of browsing. There is no opportunHy for a studen't's interest to be stimulated by a chance perusa-1 and purchase of a book in literature, philosophy, science, religion, etc., which lies outside his required reading lists, but which happens to catch his eye as he passes through the bookstore on the way to buy a textbook. This opport unity for the arousal and development of individual intellectual interests is vital in keeping the intellectual fires burning. lf " intellectual and spiritual va.Jues" are to be properly nurtured at Wilkes, we need a proper bookstore. One serious ,problem here is, admittedly, inadequate space. Not only does the physical plant which houses the bookstore now dispense textbooks and swea'tshirts; it also dispenses stamps and .faculty and student mail. The congestion is so great, especially now at the •beginning of a semester, that one blanches at the prospect of trying to "browse" among racks of paperbacks crowded between pencils and pennants. • Boyd casls aspersions on skits pornography by Boyd O'Prey First, we need a recognition from studen'ts, .faculty, and Administration that a quality liberal arts college demands a quality bookstore to foster creative intellectual growth. Then, we need a commitment to find the oncampus space essential for such a bookstore. The establishment of a quality bookstore, I would submit, should be given the same high priority at Wilkes as the establishment of a quality -library, quality classroom facilities, quality athletic teams, and a quality student body.

His premise is this: "Many alumni -feel that they are as much a part of the College as those right here on campus. It is my job to keep them informed as to what's going on here on campus. Out of their interest in the College they will, and do, contribute to the building fonds and scholarship campaigns. To me, contriibuting is their way df saying thank you for what was done for them when they were here." At present, the 5500 Wilkes Alumni are spread over the continental United States and several countries with a heavy concentration along the Eastern Coast. Many o'f the alumni are able to double or triple their donations through the Matc,hing Gift Program. vhis program consists of nearly a hundred companies who will match their employees' contributions to their alma maters. Some companies like Singer Manufacturing and Gulf Oil Corporation will match two to one. In the way of foture plans, Mr. Davenport hopes to reinstate the Alumni Seminars which were discontinued in 1965. These seminars are comprised of academic discussions between alumni and members of our faculty about the problems of presentday living situations. When asked to comment on his new position, Mr. Davenport said, 'Tm glad to be back at Wilkes." To use an old ,phrase in a novel situation, there have been "some thanges made" over the past summer. The Alumni Office along with the Development Office and the Public Relations Office have been moved to the third Boor of W eckesser Hall.

The soccer team began the year on a sour note with a 3-1 .Joss to Madison-POU and a 3-3 deadlock with Moravian. However, it should be remembered that these are the same two teams who inHicted the Colonels' only losses last year. .Jn Saturday's contest at Madison, the Colonels fell behind early and were unable to come back. Although Madison has one of the top small college squads in the East, composed mostly of foreign players, the Colonels were able to hold their own except for a ·few bad breaks. Madison scored early in the game when the wind carried back into the net a shot that goalie Tom Rokita had just blocked. Their second goal was also a Huke, the ball ricochetting off Ed Monda into the goal. Wilkes came back quickly with a goal by Joe Kiefer but was unable to turn the trick again. Both Ed Monda and Bill Downey were injured in the Madison game and wiB be out for several contests. Jerry Yaremko played an outstanding game at fullback.

Joe Kiefer put on a one-man scoring show in get- ting all three counters. :Wilkes garnered the early lead when Kiefer made a direct kick, after a penalty, with eight minutes to go in the second period. With two minutes to go in the second period Moravian scored when the ball bounced off Luzzi 's chest into the goal. Then early i·n the third quarter Moravian came back with two goals to go ahead 3-1. In the fourth period the Colonels came back to Hfe when Don Sprock lofted a kick in front of the goal. The Moravian goalie caught the ball. but Joe Kie'fer knocked it from his hands for the score. Then with only five minutes to go, Kiefer got a pass from Sprock, dri'bbled past two defenders and booted the ball past the goalie to kn-it thl" score. Neither team scored in the two fiveminute overtime ,periods and the final score was 3•3 · Dave Bugusko filled in well for the injured Monda, stopping many Greyhound drives. Roger Brewer, Curt Benson, and freshman Bill Murphy a.JI filled in well. Although they did well, it is possible that the mere presence o f M onda and D owney might have made the difference. Scoring: Moravian: Luzzi 2, Ryan: Wilkes: Kiefer 3. Wilkes ............0 0 2 0 0-3 Moravian ... .. ... .. 0 2 0 0 0-3 By George Pawlush Led by sophomore quarterback Joe Zakowski, the Wilkes Colonels lifted the lid on another grid season, scuttling the Upsala Vikings, 23-14, last Saturday at East Orange, N .J. The victory extended the Colonels' winning streak to 14. The Colonels wasted no time in scoring as Doug Forde fumbled the openi~g kickoff and then electrified fans by picking it up and romping 94 yards for the touchdown. Freshman Dave Kaschak then added the first of his three placements to give the Wilkesmen a 7-0 advantage. A few plays later the Colonels took possession of the football again as Howard Holloway, Vikings signal caller, attempted an aerial : but it was intercepted by an alert Joe Wiendl. The interception was the ninth of Wiendl' s career and tied him with Brinley Varchol for the team career record. Taking over on the 27, subsequent carries by Roger Beatty, John Jarvella, and Lee Namey brought the ball down to the Viking five . Executing a pel"fect boo·tleg on the next play, Zakowski rode home for the second Wilkes score. Kaschak's placement hit, and the Colonels' offensive machine aopeared headed .for a rousing scoring spree. Again Upsala put the baU in play a·fter the kickoff, but heads-up football gave the Colonels the ball again as John Howe jumped on a Viking fum ble. The Wilkesmen faltered on the ensuing drive as the determined Vik ing defense stopped the Colonels for the remainder of the half. Early in the vesper portion of the contest, Upsala coach inserted freshman quarterback John Boatti. Boatti appeared little less than sensational. completing ,passes to Richie Davis and Ken Severino to put the Vikings in scoring position on the Colonels' 13yard line. Davis is the same individual who two years ago put on a dazzling display of i,ass receiving in handing the Colonels their only defeat of the year. With the ball on the 13, Boatti Shown above is the action in the first half of the Moravian contest read the Wilkes defense perfectly as on Tuesday. Curt Benson stops a Greyhound attack while Jerry Yaremko he sped into the end zone to cut the Colonels' advantage to eight points. looks on. The placement attempt by Upsala was batted down by Joe Koterba, who led a tremendous rush from his de'fensive end position. Later in the same period, Athlete of the Week Generally, the linemen are the players on a football team .most likely to go unheeded. But this week the Beacon has chosen a seldom-noticed halfback for "Athlete of the Week." Selected as the grid season's initial A.0.W . is senior haJifiback Roger Beatty. Beatty, although appearing in every ball game for the past three years, was overshadowed by AU~MAC selections Paul Purta and Ray Lowery during the previous two seasons. Last year, on several occasions he kept many drives from being stalled by gaining the critical yardage needed on third-down situations. Beatty had another banner day last Saturday against Upsala, as he racked up 71 yards on 17 carries. He definitely should be a candidate for All-MAC honors when the grid season ends. The 5'10", 160-pound speedster is a native o·f Exeter where he starred on the high school grid team. At Wilkes he has earned three ·l etters on the gridiron.

Zakowski and Rick Simonson clicked on four of nine passes for 69 yards. Midway -through the fourth period , Zakowski engineered a final drive. Using the talents of Beatty , Namey, and Jarvella, the sophomore sensation had a first down on the Vikings' four-yard line . For three plays the stubborn Vikings held on as the Colonels could only move as far as the one-foot line. Expecting a line smash , Zakowski caught the Upsala defense off guard as he fired a qui-ck pass to Barry Davenport, who was all alone in the end zone.

Pre-season .forecasts .had the Greyhounds picked to wind up in the second division of the coniference, but Coach Rocco Calvo and quarterback Jim Dietz seem to have ideas of their own. In Saturday's game. Dietz completed 18 passes of 33 attempts. which means the defensive secondary will again have a busy afternoon. The Greyhounds' ground attack gained but eleven yards against the Aggie line. Moravian will run their offense either from an "I'' formation with a flanker or a power "I." In any case, Dietz is the key to the Moravian offense. Coach Rollie Schmidt was especially ,pleased with the great number of enthusiastic fans who made the long trip to Upsa.Ja. According to Schmidt, this could ·have a definite bearing on the final score. However, there is one sad note to report 'from Saturday's decisive victory; safety Jay Holliday, a member of Wilkes' "stingy" threesome / along with Danny Malloy and Joe Wiendl). suffered a broken bone in •his right foot and will be out indefinite-ly. This will put pressure on the Colonels' superb defense. Returning letterman Gerry Moser wHI probably get the starting call and should prove to be more than adequate. The Colonels' running attack was 5imply devastating against the Vikings, and there is no reason to look for any change tomorrow a1fternoon . The Greyhound line was not thoroughly tested on Saturday because the Aggies put the ball in the air 34 times. However, Roger Beatty, Barry Davenport, Jack Jarvella, and company should be able to provide the Greyhound line with enough work. The backfield corps amassed 237 yards on the ground while Joe Zakowski and Rick Simonson connected on ,four out of nine passes for 69 yards via the air route . I doubt if Moravian will have enough to pull their second upset in as many Saturdays. The Colonels should be eager to prove their wares to the •home crowd and should knock the Greyhounds off their cloud. H the defensive secondary can hold their own, I see the Colonels' first shutout of the young season in the offing. Predicted score: Wilkes 28, Moravian 0. Ed.

That afternoon also included coniferences with Dean Ralston and Dean A'hlborn plus a reception on Chase lawn. The week continued with meetings on Monday with John Whitby, Dr. Francis Michelini, Dean Ralston, and John Chwalek, placement director. Placement tests were administered in the afternoon, and a coffee hour was later held at St. Stephen's Church.

But, he warns, that ideals "must never be used as an excuse to escape from reali'ty or reality as an excuse for abandoning ideals.

The ideas of the past must be examined and adapted to the needs of modern man. But he feels that man must work through already existing institutions in attempting to change society. These can be modified, but ·they must definitely be preserved. Man must make the best possible use of his ability to think. He must recognize the "forces in himself that bring about fear and mistrust in others. " Dr. Farley feels that man must create an atmosphere of harmony and cooperation. To aid in doing this he must continua1ly "examine his attitudes and b eliefs" and be aware of his biases and prejudices. Man must "nurture those inte1lectual and spiritual values upoa which human welfare is based ." These must also be used to guide scientific technology into constructive channels. He stated that man can use the ideas and institution of the past as "building !blocks" if they are seen in Dr. Mizianty's role in the program included a study of Habrobraron, a parasitic wasp, to discover the genetic effects the trip into space would have on the insects. to be practiced to insure the success of the experiment. The spacecraft was scheduled for launch on September 7, at 3 p.m. EDT, but delays occurred because the capsule's parachute was put in backwards and th e hydraulic system of the first stage booster malfunctioned. The errors were quickly corrected and the spacecraft was launched at 6:04 p.m. E.D.T. The flight was scheduled to last three days, but the threat of storms over the recovery area shortened the Hight to two days. The capsule was caught in midair somewhere near Hawaii.

Stark ( ret.), former chief of United States naval operations and Commander of European Naval Forces during World War II. is the ·honorary chairman of the Wilkes College Board of Trustees. Admiral Stark entered the Naval Academy in 1899 and retired from active duty in 1946 after 47 years of duty. [ommunitv [ollege opening In September, 1966, the state board of education approved proposals by the Luzerne County Commissioners for a two-year institution to be called the Luzerne County Community College. The board of trustees was selected in November and in January, 1967, the board elected Dr. Guy V . Ferren as president of the new college. Since then applications have been pouring into the Community College, and as of this week approximately 600 students had been accepted for full--time study for the fall semes•ter beginning on October 2. This college is the ful6llment of the dreams of many people both within and outside the county, and it is rapidly rushing to 611 the vacuum in higher education which has existed in Wyoming Valley for many years. Finally there exists an institution to provide education for those who do not wish to spend four years in college, who cannot scholastically compete with the great number of applicants for four-year colleges, or who desire a one-year technical education. Tuition fees at the Community College are $150 per semester for any resident of Luzerne Coutny or for any Pennsylvania resident from an area with an established Community College, with approval of that College. The charge for a student from an area with an established Community College, without the aproval of that col- lege is $450. Tuition for a Pennsylvania resident from an area with no Community College is $300. The grading system is similar to that of our Co1lege, except that the letters "A" through "F" are used. Honor points are computed exactly the same. and students who earn a 4.0 are placed on the President's Honor Roll and those earning between 3.50 and 3.99 are named to the Dean's List. Any student earning below 2.0 is placed on probation and may not carry more than 12-semester ·h ours. At present the age range of most students is 19 to 21, but is is anticipated that, like other two-year institutions t,he trend will be toward an older, more mature student body. There is no co1lege-sponsored scholarship program now in progress, but the Community College does have a workstudy program. Courses offered at the Community College are divided into sections, according to the degree sought. The associate of arts offers a program in humanities and social science which includes such courses as English, history , a language, science, and several electives. The associate in science offers a program in science and mathematics, business administration, and general studies. The associate of applied science offers instruction in business education, drafting and design, electronics, and secretarial studies. Aside from the two - year program offered by the community co1lege , there is also a one-year program which offers a certificate of proficiency instead of a degree. The curricula for this program includes commercial art , hotel and restaurant management, and recreational leadership; and it is directed toward immediate employment rather than transfer to a fouryear institution. Intercollegiate basketball and baseball teams have been planned, and already over ten games have been scheduled for the basketball team, Included in their schedule are two games scheduled to be played at the Wilkes gym on January 11, and February 15, against our freshman team.

The summer is over, the task of registration completed, the freshmen are welcomed, teachers are met, and the books are bought.

We have been impressed that our education here is no longer a luxury for the fortunate but a necessity for everyone. Stopping to think of this burden may be enough to make one beat a retreat. A preoccupation with the myriad of problems facing the world can only lead the frustrated student over the brink.

The Student Assembly Friday, September 22, 1967 BEACON A liberal education, as opposed to a vocational education, is designed to achieve NO practical purpose whatso-ever. It cannot, by definition, be concerned with t r ~ for an occupation or with the development of skills necessary for making a living. To the degree t'ha't a college de,parts from this standard, i't ceases to be a li'beral institution . Ideally, liberal tarts college should be a community df soholars devoting their time, energies, and abilities to the disinterested discovery and communication of the true, the beautiful, and the good. Within this community the distinction between stu- Ari lilms present new techniques Dear Editor: 'J1he pdtential intellectual challenge of the academic year is indeed exciting to contemplate. In addition to the mental stimulation of the classroom, a variety of extra-curricular activities have been scheduled and proposed. Of special interest to the growing mind are those programs of the music department, the dramatic activities, directed by Mr. Groh, and the occasional Manuscript presentation. In faot, every department at the CoHege is working to present a broader variety of inlformation and experience to extend our (yours and mine) kn·owledge of our society and the world around us. A series of significant films has been proposed which would bring to our campus the best "classic," documentary, and avant-garde cinema. Maya The work done this past spring and summer to revise the structure of the assembly programs has produced a new program fundamentally different from anything tried before. The new program affords the student the responsibility to decide what opportunities he should take, instead of dictating to him selected programs he must attend. With the emphasis now on the student, the question arises as to his capabilities to accurately decide what cultural, intellectual, and social programs will improve his educational experience. The schedule of programs is still in the formative stages and we suggest that the students convey through the Beacon, the Student Government, or the as- Dear Editor: sembly committee, those speakers, artists, or celebrities they I would just like to make a few wish to have on campus.

When t'he doors opened, we infiltrated the ranks of the Student Government officers, who were there to prevent mass chaos, to find seats With our friends or, as t he turmoil grew, just to find seats. The before-speeches chit-chat was very interesting. We were competing with each other to see who held the -highest offices or the most positions in the old senior class. The majority of us found that those who held four or more positions of honor in their class were the most obnoxious and the ones to stay away from . Mr. Chwalek put everything in order and got us quiet. Mr. Whitby, whom most of us had previously come in contact with, made the opening address. He told us t hat in order to register we had to have yellow, blue, or pink receipts with us. There was an immediate uproar in the audience, since none of us ·had received them. Dr. Francis J. Michelini welcomed us to Wil'kes. He was followed ln qu'ick succession by Mr. Ralston and Mr. Wallison. At 12 o'clock we broke for lunch. This time. as students were leavin-g the b uilding, the conversation was sliqhtly different. "Mr. Ralston sounds Southern." " . . . so was Dr. Michelini, but Mr. Whitby . . . " Monday afternoon placement tests were administered in Stark and Parrish Halls. Those of us who didn't take them pitied those who did. Tuesday morning we were back on campus to meet with either Dean Ralston or Dean Ahlborn for the Deans' men and women conferences. Each dean gave us statistics - t-he number of students, what grades we need to pass each subject. and credit points needed to pass each year. Mrs. Ahlborn informed us about clothes - no mini-skirts. All of a sudden we were nonentities who had to start all over again. We suddenly began to realize that we have to start working if we want to achieve some measure of success. Only for some reason we sensed that ·this would be different - more individualistic. Not only had our egos been completely deffated, but no one p repared us for the next shock wave - registration. If someone had told me I was in the San 'Francisco Cow Palace, I would have believed him. By the time I finished , I fel1 like I had been through tryouts .for a cattle show. W ednesday began another day of orientation and meetings with our department heads. At 12 o'clock we President Concerned [Con'd. from page 1/ is this ·that may provide the most vital force for growth." "The effort to improve reality is perhaps the greatest challenge confronting our scientific-technological society," Dr. Farley stated. Modern man has been immensely successful in this effort. The difficulty arises when he must decide just how he is going to use his newly found power; to date no decisions have been made. "Man seems unready to make decisions that will humanize these forces. Long accepted ·h abits of thought and conduct must change if these forces are to be used for the benefit of mankind." Man must now finally consider the need for 'h uman qualities like compassion, consideration, love and gentleness. He states that "without these qualities man may lose himseM in the mechanistic world he has created." I was able to slip into my first class unscathed but for the minor repartee I had just experienced. Many of my other classmates weren't so fortunate. Stories of ridiculom; encounters with our "betters" cluttered our conversation. After class, a group of us who had nothing scheduled for the next two periods decided to discover a haven for cowering .freshmen. On the way we had to: "sizzle like bacon - sizzle, sizzle;" cluck and yell, 'Tm stupid," which sounded something like, "Cluck, cluck, I'm stupid." After cheering and singing about "drowning our sorrows" several mi-Ilion times, a couple of the braver frosh decided to "drown their sorrows" with a coke over at the Commons only to be diverted by more blood thirsty upperclassmen. At the end df only a few days of hazing, we learned two things: don't walk in big groups, walk in pairs or by yourseH; there is no such place as a haven for cowering freshmen.

This was the first tim e we actually had an opportunity to meet each other, since we were pitted face -to-face, rather than side-1lyside, as for t'he speeches. As we sat observing each others' table manners, Dr. Farley spoke to us about "Wilkes, the friendly campus." That's when we began seriously trying to meet each other. For some s trange reason, the damper stiJ.I managed to do its damping as we hit the home stretch. Thursday morning, there we were, sitting side - 'by - side again, in the Presbyterian Church, listening to Joseph Gatto, Paul W ender, Michael Clark, and Dan Kopen telling us about the important role played by the Student Government and about hazing. In the afternoon we had a grand tour of the campus with our "big sisters" and "big brothers." Then the rush was on to see who could get to the bookstore first. The crowning glory of t'he week was our day at Dr. Farley 's farm . There we learned the class cheer, the drinking song, and the Alma Mater. It was then that we began to feel like one class, the Class of 71, rath er -than 'the individual member of the high school class of '67. We realized we'd have to be in soaring spirits by Monday i'f we were to survive a week and a half of hazing. W i th high spirits and a state of nervous anticipation, I arrived on campus wit,h two veterans Monday morning. I felt a bit conspicuous, but then what freshman doesn't with a dink, a pennant, and placards saying, "I am a Wilkes Frosh" advertising his presence.

MILFORD, CONN. �Page4 THE BEACON Friday, September 22, 1967 Tea•s Begin Crown Defenses Wilkes Eleven Alumni Boolers Shul-oul Faces Upsala In First Game by Chuck Lengle by Chuck Lengle The Colonels of Wilkes College will begin their quest for a third straight Middle Atlantic Conference (Northern Division) football championship when they visit the Vikings of Upsala College, West Orange, New Jersey, tomorrow afternoon. The Vikings compiled a respectable 6-2 (won-lost) record in 1966 and rank highly with Delaware Valley and Juniata as contenders for the top spot in the division. Graduation hit the Vikings hard, and Coach John Hooper may be forced to use relatively untested personnel at several positions. Lost via graduation is quarterback Lou Checchetto who set several new school passing records last year. None of the quarterbacks tested thus far have displayed Checohetto's versatility and may prove to be a prdblem for Hooper's offense. Junior Howard Holloway, sophomores Bob Merck and John Keane are the to,p candidates to fill the position. The Vikings' ground game will be led by Richie Davis, a proven halfback of many skills, and Ken Severino an Ml East -halfback in 1966. The Vikings will run their offense either from a straight T or a (Banker) formation. Upsala will field a big team with 15 players topping the 200 pound mark. Tackles Steve Schneider and Bob Mutter,pel, both 225, and guards Sibby Sica, Pat Briante, and Sandy Leone will provide solid blocking up front. Coach Rollie Schmidt expects Upsala to unleash their passing attack which proved to be successful when the Vikings defeated tpe Colonels in 1965, 26-20. Wilkes' deep secondary (which did not allow a touchdown to be scored via the air route last year) of Joe Wiendl, Jay Holliday, and Danny Malloy should ,h ave a busy afternoon trying to contain Davis, Severino and company. Shown above are tri-captains Roadrunner Emerges by Bruce Fritzges "Road runner, a long-tailed desert bird of the southwestern United States, characterized by running swiftly instead of Hying; chaparral cock (or hen) : it is related to the cuckoo." (Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language, 1964 edition.) Mr. We'bster may not know it, but the Plymouth division of the Chrysler Motor Corporation has produced a road runner o-f its own called, logically enough, the Road Runner. This car is not for the typical pink-cheeked, Brylcreamed, side-burned, street bopper, who would ra-ther advertise his horsepower and spend money on lots of Bashy Buck Rodgers-type trim; this car is for the performance car enthusiast who would rather speak softly and carry a big stick. In this respect the Road Runner is unique: it is a mature muscle-car, a Q-Ship type hot rod. For this reason, we have not shown the car, there is nothing to see on it. Both teams should rbe up for this opener for both schools. However, the Colonels will have added incentive because the Vikings will field basically the same team that inBicted Wilkes' lone defeat in the past two years.

Colonel Gridders Surprise Tigers Last Saturday night the football team returned home after a highly successful scrimmage with Princeton at Palmer Stadium. The two teams were evenly matched and performed well despite a constant downpour. Being a controlled scrimmage, both coaches stood behind the offensive lines to observe and instruct. Also, substitutes were used freely enabling the coaches to evaluate prospective starters. Princeton Coach Dick Coleman, complimented the team on their fine play and perfect execution of fundamentals. Hoping to come home with a vague idea of who would fill t'he open positions, Coach Srchmidt was left in more of a quandary as everyone performed better than expected. The first string defense was par,ticufarly outstanding against · Princeton's first string offense pointing to another good year. In a tightly contested game, the College's soccer team edged the alumni, 1-0, Saturday afternoon at Ralston Field. It was the varsity's third victory in t.he eight year history of the game. They also won last year's contest by a score df 3-1. Tri-Captain Rich Beck scored the only goal of the game at 6:43 of the second quarter. Dave Thomas arched an accurate pass to Beck 20 yards from the goal, and Beck smashed it past alumni goalie, Bob Ontko. Ontko spent a busy afternoon making quite a few spectacular saves which could have gone for goals. The , alumni were in excellent p·h ysical condition and gave the varsity a rough afternoon, particularly on offense. The varsity todk a total of 36 shots and would have scored more had they been able to capitalize on a few alumni miscues. Coach Jim Nedoff commented after the game that the team will definitely have to improve i•f last year's 10-2 record is to be duplicated. Joe Kiefer, Tom Rokita, Rich Beck and their coach, Jim Nedoff.

XXVII, No. 1 Assembly meetings [allege cal lo loar lor year This semester a new assembly policy is being initiated at the Oillege. Four assemblies will replace the original weekly assemblies; these will be held on various Thursdays throughout the year at 11 a.m. in the gym. Two of these will be voluntary and two, compulsory. Students will be required to attend the opening Convocation, September 21 and the Christmas assembly, December H. The All-Oillege Pep Rally, September 28, and the Awards Assembly, May 16, will be voluntary. .Jn addition a series of concerts and lectures will be scheduled throughout the year at the Fine Arts Center. Most of these will be held on Thursdays at 11 a .m. and a few will be presented in the evenings. Admission is free. As an example, on November 30 at 8 p.m. the Kaleidoscope Players of New York City will present "Lost in the Stars," a Broadway ,play based on Peyton's Cry, the Beloved Oiuntry. The new structure of the assembly programs developed from a series of meetings held last year with the members of the student assembly committee suggested to the faculty members of the committe that the system of weekly assemblies did not achieve the purposes of the ,program. Through subsequent meetings between Dr. Farley and the faculty members of the committee: Dean Ralston, Dean Ahlborn, Mr. Gasbarro, Dr. Michelini, and Mr. Groh, the present assembly policy was evolved. Dean Ralston stated that he urges the students to support what he considered to be topHight cultural and educational attractions. Registrar B. H. Moses releases new schedule Registration for the upperclassmen takes ,place today in the gym beginning with registration for the seniors. B. Hopkins Moses, past president of Wyoming Seminary, has assumed the role of college registrar and will direct ·the und ertaking. Mr. Moses was appointed to the position this past summer and assumed his new duties B. Hopkins Moses, Registrar welcomes 600 frosh on August I. The new registrar feels that the structure of the registration program seems amazingly efficient when compared with the tedious registration at some of the larger universities. To relieve last fall 's conges tion caused by picture-taking for the stu• dent identification cards, several photograph ers will be available for today's registration. Upperclassmen are reminded that everyone is required to have his picture taken for the ID card to b e issued this year. The new ID cards will contain, instead of last year's library card number, the student 's student number which will function as his new library number as well as eventually assume the role of identifying the student in college affairs. A few new courses are offered this semester. The science department has instituted a new course to replace the geology courses offered in past years. The course, environmental science IO I. concerns itself with an introduction to the structure of man's environment and the problems man has caused in it. This timely course refl.ects the increasing awareness of the changing atmospheres in which we live. Also, the mathematics department is offering a course in computer science. This course, computer science 101. is an introduction to the functions and structures of computers, and the use of programming -l anguage, and problem solving. Basses To Upsala SG and IDC are organizing a chartered bus trip to the Upsala football game, September 23. This will be the College's first football game this season, and all students, faculty, and Wilkes rooters are encouraged to take advantage of this offer. The $6.50 cost includes round tript bus fare and ticket to the game. Reservaions may be made with Mr. Hoover's secretary, second floor, Weckesser Hall, until Wednesday, September 20. Make your reservation early and cheer the team on at Upsala. Over 600 freshmen gathered early this week in the Center for the Performing Arts to hear various speakers. In order to 'h elp the incoming freshmen adjust to the many facets of college !He, Student Government 'has organized ·the Freshmen Orientation Program. The ,program got underway with Dr. Farley's welcoming address to the parents on September 10. T h e theme of his address was the country's dependency upon education. Here, the college plays a major role for it must provide the students with an understanding of the threats imposed upon society and the promises that exist for society. The faculty will ·a id the students through their knowledge, experience, and understanding of life. Dr. Farley stressed the importance of a college education which will enable each student to better comprehend the dominant forces in today 's world. After the President's address, the parents attended con'ferences w ith Dean Ahlborn and Dean Ralston. A reception for parents and faculty was later held at Chase Lawn. On Sep tember 11 , t he freshmen began their initial phase of the orientation program. Opening remarks were made by John Wh itby, director of admissions. Dr. Michelini, dean of academ'ic affairs, welcomed the class of 1971. He emphasized the idea that t he students have a moral obligation to make the best use of -the talents and to take advantage of t'he opportunities open to them not only in the classroom hut also through extracurricular act ivities. George F . Ralston , dean of student affairs, explained .t he philosophy of the College. He stated that among the marks of an educated man is his ability to use language precisely. One of the supreme functions of the college is to develop a respect for the heritage of language. The thinking of the educated man should be based on facts. Man must seek the truth in order to gain understanding. He also stated that with education comes the responsibility to render service and to share in the world's work. John J. Chwalek, director of guidarrce and placement, told the freshmen that while in college, they must ·develop a philosophy or framework by which to guide their 'l ives. For a change df mood, Mike Clark, junior class president, introduced Lex Roma in first-place winner 'in the folk festival.

He has entered the College at a moment when the threat to the existence of the liberal education is imminent. In the Wilsonian concept, the college functioned as a "community of scholars" relying heavily on intra-communication between the faculty and students. But how applicable is Wilson's conception in light of the contrasts existing between his society and the contemporary one? Today, we are faced with a new scale of living in which the individual is a citizen of the world. The amount of knowledge has drastically expanded in this century, increasing the requirements demanded of the college student. This information explosion has caused the need for the specialist in all areas of education to the point that the world needs today the "speciality of generalism" so that mankind can cope with the problems of this complex society. During the next four years Wilkes College will strive to expand your consciousness in a way which will enable you to cope with the complexities described above. The College will require the student to take courses which will increase the student's interests in the fields of the arts, sciences, languages, humanities, and the social sciences. Complementing this, the student will be able to develop a major field of study designed not towards expertise, but toward giving the student the "tools" necessary to expand to the next level of his education. Combining these two aspects of his education, the graduate will be able to understand the specialities of the educated man in terms of the new scale and scope of contemporary society. This year's Freshman Reading Program included William Golding's Lord of the Flies, Henry Roth's Call It Sleep, and C. P. Snow's The Two Cultures; and a Second Look. These three books are the first phase of an experience which will characterize their college life. Under the direction of Studen't Government, the ,program has been initiated to help the students develop personal values t'hat will sustain them in the midst df the dramatic changes taking place in our society. It introduces the students to reading in depth in order to gain a deeper insight into the problems of man and society and enables them to accept the new and growing responsibilities for the strengthening df the community, the coun• try, and society. Roth's Call It Sleep is the story df a Jewish immigrant boy who perceives both the ugliness and beauty df the world as he goes through the process of growing up. Dr. Stanko Vujica, who wiU speak to ·the freshmen about the philosophical concerns of the book, gave ·his impressions in an earlier interview. Dr Vujica stated that he had to overcome the initial re- vulsion against the verbal filthiness of the book. He felt that the only justification is that the verbal vulgarity reinforces the brutal'ity and degradation of the slum environment. "Mr. Roth's East Side is one of the foulest pictures of slum childhood. But its real subject is not so the abominations in the street but the terror in the mind of a sensitive young boy." As David, the author's main character, leaves the comfort and security of his home and ventures into the streets, he is obsessed with a sense of sin, and he wishes to find a way of puri•fication. The crucial experience in the boy's li'fe occurs in the ·c heder when the rabbi reads the passage !from Isaiah 6: "I am a man of unclean lips and I dwelt in the midst of a pedpie of unclean lips." One of God's angels touches 'his lips with a live coal, and he is .cleansed. Th'is story excites David, and he begins to look for his own way of purification. The ex,periences which David has as a result of this crucial moment teac·h 'him the "beauty of a world that rema"ins unredeemed." Two Cultures; and a Second Look is an ex•position of the dangerous split between science and the humanities in The freshman should also understand two requisites for the successful completion of his educational experience. First, the student must become involved in the community of the college to the point of emersion. This will enable him to expose the various facets of the college environment. This College exists as a self-sufficient society reflecting in microcosm the values and ambitions of the world society. Although existing on a plane somewhat removed from the underlying problems of the world society, the college community affects and is affected by the larger society.

The college strives to expand the student ability to communicate through its requirements in English composition, art and music, drama, and an understanding of the fundamentals of various fields. The ability to communicate in today's society precludes any discipline in the college. Without the tools of communication in today's varied media, expression, the ability of the individual to create a viable relationship to his society, is impossible. The accomplishment of proficient communication is the essence of your education.

Clubs whose ifunctlon is to regulate student activities or to provide information to the students wou'ld naturally make more constan't demands on the students' time.

The Colonels· defensive secondary is one of the 'best in the East. Jay Holliday, Joe Wiendl, Danny Malloy, and Mike Connolly have been together for the past two years. Last year the Colonels didn't allow the opposition one touchdown pass, quite an accomplis·hment in today 's college grid game when the pass is a major part of nearly every offensive attack. Another interesing note from last year's campaign was that in the second half of all the games the Colonels allowed only a meager total of two points. The Colonels offensive machine should be quite interesting with the appearance of two top-Hight quarterbacks, Rick Simonson -and Joe Zakowski. Simonson, who played •t wo years ago at Davidson, is an excellent field genera-I, very dangerous with <his short passes. Zakowski, -a southpaw hurler, will again be back to create a constant threat in any situation which may arise. He will be remembered last year for •his 80-yard last-second touchdown -pass against Lebanon Valley. Halfbacks who will be running out of the 'T' formation will be Doug Forde, Roger Beatty, Lee Namey, and freshman Dave Kaschak, a local AU-Scholastic. AU are quick, sturdy and Heetfooted. The Colonels' running game will definitely be a continued threat even with the loss of all-MAC backs Paul Purta and Ray Lowery. Vince Y armel is also being touted as the possible starting fuUback. The offensive line will again be fortified by veterans Mike Babuschak, George Conway, Bruce Comstock, Joe Roszko, and Angelo Loverro. All -a re lettermen and excellent blockers. Tim Stott has transferred, but a host of ·ca,paible freshmen are waiting for the position. Comstoclc and Roszko both gained recognition last year, as all MAC tackle and guard, respectively. Joe Skvarla closes out the forward line at split end. One of the finest ends in Wilkes history, he could break most of this year's existing pass receiving records. Barry Davenport, another surehanded receiver, should see a lot of action this year. Head Coach Roland Schmidt, now in his sixth year, is optimistic about the season, but 'he does not like to commit himself definitely. He stated that the team's spirit is the highest of any he has ·coached, and that all are only too willing to work hard. The team reported for the first day of practice on September 1 in the best physical shape that he 'h as seen in -his six coaching years. "There's not an ounce of fat on the team." Last year, the Colonels •h ad a tough game against East Stroudsburg on September 10. This year he has had more time to develop the team. In short, the Colonels are 'heavy favorites to repeat as MAC Northern Division champions with a good chance of also winning the Lambert Bowl. The biggest problem seems to be - can they finish the season undefeated.

Frey plans to serve in th!' Peace Corps after graduation. Bob Thompson Beverly Crane Summer programs planned lor college by Judy Rock Pl 1ans are under way for three programs ( two of them are stiII tentative) wh'ich will begin at -the College this summer and extend to the following sc hool year. The public relations department has announced a Wilkes-Lehigh Cooperative Program in Graduate Education. In discussions between the Administrations of the two Institutions it hias been agreed ,that dur'ing this summer and fall. 'three Le'high courses in graduate education will be offered at this College by combined faculties . Each of these courses will be applicable for credit toward a master's degree at Lehigh. This summer a five-week course in directing dr1amatics for the high school stage will be offered at the College Fine Arts Center. The course will carry six credits •toward a master's degree at Lehigh. T •he course Is designed for hig'h school drama 'teachers to develop and supervise dramatic programs in the 'high school. During the I 967-68 college year, two courses in the founda'tions of education will be offered ,at the College ·in conjunction with Le'high. The first will be in the fall term and the second in tne spring •term. Each term will carry three credits which may be used. These new ·courses offered at the College will supplement ·the present graduate course in education for teachers offered at Wilkes by Temple University. The new gradu•a te program will give teachers in this reg-ion a greater oppol'tuni'ty to obtain a master's degree without leaving the area. ·Members of 'the education department are waiting for ,the final word on proposals for two programs which iare des igned to begin this summer. The first of these programs Is Project Upward Bound, whi-ch wiU be directed by Dr. Eugene L. Hammer. This six-week program will begin in the second term df the summer session. l't is designed especially for those high school students who have academic promise, but not the financial resources .to go to college. The aim of the project is . to give these students a desire to further their educa't'ion; it will provide them with the remedial iand developmental help needed. About fifty students. sophomores and juniors, from the county will be accepted into the program on recommendation from the'ir teachers, princ'ipals, and the like. They will live on the College campus for the six-week period and wiII receive individualized help in reading , composi'tion, math and sc'ience. Once a month during t!he I 967-68 school year, these students will be invited biaok to the College to attend a cultural event. It is hoped that the special ·a't'tention given to these youngsters wiU have some effect on the ir future plans. The second program will be directed by Mr. George Siles. Plans for th'is project were begun when The Institute for Be-tter Schools, Philadelphia, invited the College to par'tidpate in a program des•igned to pre.pare area (Continued on Page 6) Miss Eik!' has worked on the staff for th!' past ,thr!'e years, having served as a r!'porter in her freshman year. copy editor in her sophomor!' year, and editorial assistant thi s year.

To those of us oriented to a school calendar, the year prop• erly begins in September and ends now, and now is the time to celebrate, to plan, and especially to reflect. Upon reflection, we can say that it has not been a bad year altogether. The campus as a whole, although it maintained its usual quiet repose, was shaken by the Tangerine uproar and the rumblings caused by the proposed Honor System. The former, an upsetting incident for all concerned, resulted in the formulation of written policy concerning post-season games as well as other possibly controversial aspects of College affairs, and further embarrassing incidents of this type will probably not occur. We might conclude that the sensation caused originally was justified by the constructive action that resulted from it. Unhappily, however, the Honor System, which was carefully and thoughtfully researched, planned, and presented to the stu• dent body, was a colossal Hop and resulted in absolutely nothing. All of which seems to teach some kind of lesson about human nature, doesn't it? Student Government, which started the year dedicated to the cause of community service, met with sullen opposition on the part of the clubs it had planned to involve in its program. Where did the fault lie - in the apathy of the clubs or in the manner in which the program was presented? Opinion varies on this question, and we leave the answer to you. We merely wish to say that after this initial failure, SG should not have retreated as it did until a recent blast from the BEACON brought it to life again. Then again, perhaps the BEACON should not have waited so long to begin its campaign for an active SG. The BEACON, too, had its ups and downs, and we sincerely hope that next year's staff - ably headed by David Frey, Paula Eike, Carol Gass, Bruce Fritzges, Bob Thompson, Beverly Crane, Lorraine Sokash, and Chris Sulat will carry on our successes and take a lesson from our mistakes as part of the foundation for their newspaper. \NHAT • \NHERE • \NHEN GOLF - Wilkes vs. Albright- Home - Today DANCE - Psychology Club - Gym Tonight, 9-12 p.m. Alumni Recital - Gordon Roberts - CPA- Tonight, 8:30 p.m. BASEBALL - Wilkes vs. Dickinson - Away- Tomorrow TENNIS - Wilkes vs. Moravian - Away- Tomorrow CLASSES END FOR THE SEMESTER- Today COLLEGE BEACON Friday, May 12. 1967 t,ttu, t, ,Jit,,. Dev leaves with shantih Dear Editor: As my term of services as a visi'ting Fulbr,ight professor is about to expire, I deem it my pleasant duty and ,privilege to say a word of thanks and gratitude to teachers, students, and Administra·Non of WIikes for the kind cooperation and encouragement I received from them since my arrival here in the early hours of morning on September 19, 1966. lt ·is my first visit to this great country and I fervently hope it wi-11 not be my last. America [s a big country, a gigantic experiment in human welfare. h is indeed very difficult to be familiar with her complex technique of living within a short span of nine months. Even though cut off from my country, near and dear ones, Nme went a bit too fast and much •that I would certainly 'have done remains incomplete, though not undone, I suspect. It it indeed a pleasant, rewarding experience and 'i't ·has made 'life richer. I would like to underline and highlight the multi-national character of American nationalism and its emphasis on human values. The future of man lies, to my mind, in a broad-based humanist experiment of this pattern. Wilkes, I believe, is a pretty good academic experiment in international amity and cooperation. Teachers and students of various countries, from among various nations are working here together in full cooperation under the leaderschip of a dedicated educationalist like Dr. Farley. This is an example to imitate as well as emulate. I have been pretty busy intellectually these few months. Besides giv,ing lectures in the school on introdu·c tion to philosophy, logic, ancient and medieval philosophy ( including oriental philosophy), I gave ,two courses of lectures in the local Jewish Communiity Center, mostly on oriental philosophy. I read a paper, "Phi losophy and the Future of Man, " at a Wilkes faculty meeting. I am happy [t has been widely appreciated. I gave lectures at -the Universities of McGill, Toronto. and Pennsy,lvania and 1also contributed over 20 columns on philosophtcal topi-cs of general and practical interest to the Sunday Scranton Times. I gave several lectures on humanism and world brotherhood [n WilkesBarre and neighborhood. The response is highly encouraging. I 'have written a book, Budda the Humanist, and am lookling frantically for an American puibiisher. Dear Editor: As both president of Junius-IRC rand a member of the Council of Club Presidents, I support Student Government and its 'intended role at the College. Both edHorials and articles on Stu'dent Government poli-cy I have found to be emotional statements disregarding a constructive analysis of the situation. Disregarding all references to Samuelson or any other major text, rhe ills generated by both a lack of enthus-iasm by student leaders to take the anitiative and by caustic editorials in the Beacon offer neither a progress"ive Student Government nor a solution to an apatheticrarJ one. Until such a time that the student body and its government representatives are willing to suggest and put into effect constructive revisions in the written and unwritten codes of student act ivities, no person from the College com munity has the right to either critic'ize or praise Student Government.

Presently the SG constitution is vague and ·/ Picture shows Joe Gatto, newly elected president of SG. ambiguous. Non-functional committees such as the Court of Appeals will -be replaced by active committees. Definite stipula,tions will be made regarding the allotment of funds to various campus organizations. Definite criteria will be established concerning the recognition of a group as a club by SG. To achieve my goal of reconstruction. I have appointed a constitutional revision committee consisting of Judy Simonson , Tom Kelly . and Carl Siracuse. Secondly , I hope to improve the communication between dormitory s tudents and commuting students. I plan to appoint a committee of both dormitory students and commuter students to research this probl em. Presentl y. I feel a tangible solution to the problem would be rhe establishment of a .. - separate student union building . In a more vital way. greater communication among students . faculty and Administration must be achieved. Third, I propose a solution to the problem of student apathy through .the workings of a newly-formed organization - the Council of Club Presidents. r I would like to explain the actual purpose of this Council, since there seems to be much confusion among the students. The Council of Club Presidents was created by SG to coordinate club efforts. Since the Council is not financially independent, SG has extended a loan of $1 ,000 to help the Council initiate its programs. This loan was extended with the understanding that any profit made beyond the amount of the loan would be distributed among the Junius-I RC plans picnic A seminar for political science and history majors and their professors was held last Wednesday from 3 to 5 p .m. in Stark Hall. The principal speaker was Milosla v Chrobok, second secretary, Embassy of Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, Washington. D .C. His topic was the Czechoslovakian role in East-West politics. A question and answer period followed. •A picnic for junius-IRC members and their gut>sts will be held ..,n May 28, from 2 to 5 p .m. on Weckesser lawn. The event will take place rain or shine. Approxima·tely eighty members in the History I 02 course were successfully tu'tored during the past semester. This program will be extended next year to include tu'tors for students in Western Civilization and American His'tory courst's. clubs. By means of this Council, I hope to achieve greater student participation by offering: to the student a stronger sense of purpose and individuality through his club affiliation. Fourth, I plan to have two College concerts in the upcoming academic year. These concerts, featuring name groups, would provide additional social life but on a college level. These would bt> run in coordination with the Council of Club Presidents. Wilkes can and will be as active as any other college, but it has to be a joint effor,t. We, as SG, your elected representatives, can initiate these programs and supply tht' impetus, but Wt' need your support. Fifth, I will continue the communityoriented tu,torial program of my predecessor. Tlhis program involves the teaching of migrant workers ' children by volunteer collt>ge students. I feel this program was extremely benefic'ial and will be enlarged upon wherever possible. I will make an attempt to emphasize among Wilkes students a greater degree of community participation and exemplary behavior at community functions. Many students have expressed their discontent with SG. They feel that it is just a social directory. I cannot agree with this sentiment. As was previously mentioned, the Student Government of the College has undertaken community-oriented programs. In this manner, dorm students are given the opportunity to take part in the community which serves as their place of residence for four years. Commuting students are able to look up to the College with the pride and respect due an active community force which it has become. Sixth. I plan a re-evaluation of the Freshman Reading Program which would introduce the incoming freshmen to a program designed to provide more instantaneous commun'icaticins than books alone can supply. This instantaneous media would include such devices as films, sdections of poetry. and magazine articles . Finally, I wish to say that I can only supervise and represent SG. I cannot be SG. I need the support of the members of SG and they in the sam e way need y our support. Roses by Claire Sheridan The music department in conjunction with t'he Madrigal ·Singers and Cue 'n Curtain closed the dramatic season wi'th a strongly musical version of John Gay's The Beggar's Opera. The satiric opera was produced and directed by Richard Chapline, with piano accompaniment by John Verbalis . Vt>rbalis' accompaniment se't the fine musical tone of the opera and carrit>d forward the perfect 'timing which was thl' hallmark of the performance. Essentially a satirt' of Italian bombastic opera , this production stressed the musiC'al aspee'ts of the play. With a minimum of dialogue, the songs carried the hilarious turn-about of middle-class morality and unexpected. homely, and of-ten base sentiments in ,n area usually reserved for the most esoteric emotions. Much of the enjoyment came from the beauty of the singing of renovated ballads of the eigh'teenth century . The juxtaposition of beautiful sound and base meaning kept thl' play exciting on all levels. Opening in a scene of non-wedded connubial bliss. Basil Russin as P eachum and Elaine W eber as Mrs. Peachum quickly in'troduced the morality of the play. Mr. Russin's clear voice and solid assurance expressed a man thoroughly successful in his world of illicit trade and paid informing. Not only was Elaine Weber 's acting extremely funny as the happily unmarried mother of Polly , aghast at the defection of a daughter who dared to marry for love rather than social position and money. as all the finest people do . but her voice was wonderful.

Michael Stair as Macheath entered with all the pomp and flourish of an opera prima donna. The operatic sa'tire was continued throughout by Stair with flights of voices and mugging at the audience in his " love " scenes. The broad satire o-f sentimentalism, opera, and English society wi'th its roles for wives and mistresses culminated with the contrived happy ending and the forsaking o'f Lucy Lockit for the wifely love of Polly by Macheath . Lockit, played by Dennis English . was convincing in his stage movemen'ts as well as his Cockney accent. Anita Humer played his daughter Lucy with all the wrath of a woman scorned. The scenes of the Locklt and Peachum families was ably supplemented by the supporting characters. which included Mahea'th 's gang of thieves and the Women of the Town .

Naturally , the poetry has to be read to get the full flavor of the blending of word, form and meaning. The prose of the Manuscript varies In his exposition, Mr. Ruckel levels tht' charge that. "poetry is dying because it isn't objective. It demonstrates no significant correlations with the scientific method . Its topics of lov e. hate. courage, fear. anger , forgiveness, life . and death cannot be measured accurately to the nearest micro-millimeter. " This is, he feels, the f;ult of a mechanized society , non -communicating and non-thinking. That this is in many cast's, especially in the area of mass media communication, true, but that this is meeting -a countercurrent of aesthetic endeavor in the area of communication is clearly seen in the work contributed to and accepted by the Manuscript. All in all, this reviewer feels that the presen'tation through song of John Gay's satire of eighteenth century morali-ty and foreign imports in the guise of culture was convincing and, most important, thoroughly entertaining. Eggs by Hazel Hulsizer l'he theatrical season at the College ended Sunday evening, May 7, with the music department in association with Cue 'n Curtain presenting John Gay's The Beggar's Opera. According to Miss Charlotte Lord's lively and informative playnotes, the opera satirizes high society by comparing it to the underworld. In fact. the songs of the opera contain the most biting satire as they harshly attack the ethics and attitudes of eighteenth century England. The opera, by its very nature , is a satirical attack on the Italian opera which had entered eighteenth century England and was at that time enjoying a great vogue. ·This reviewer feels that the musical aspects of the production were pt>rhaps its most outstanding part. The Madrigal Singers have fine voices and a joy of singing that is infectious. The play's outwardly respectable man of business. who happened to be a fence in reality, and ,a police informer, was Mr. Peachum. played by Basil Russin. (Note that the titles for the characters reflect C'.ay ·s punning sense of humor.) Mr. Russin 's performance was saved perhaps from dullness by the attractive wit inherent in his lines . Elaine Weber, as Mrs. Peachum. gave the most polished performance of 'thl' entire cast. The audience picked up visibly in th e scene where Mrs. Peachum hears of Polly's marriage to Macheath and takes a cordial or two to calm her nerves. Polly, the legitimate wife of Macheath , was performed well throughout the play by Carol Cronauer. Those who saw Camelot will remember her as the nymph Nimue . Miss Cronauer made a very pretty Polly, and •her steadfas t love for Macheath provided the basis for the tender moments of the play. Macheath, the lead er of the highwaymen and oth er rogues-about-town, turned out to be more baritone than actor-beggar. Michael Stair's mellow resonant voice fit into the part well: and although his acting was enthusias tic, it was not as good as those mentioned above. Lockit, the jailor , was played by Dennis English who was notable for his expert stage movement. On the other hand , Lockit's daughter Lucy, played by Anita Humer, wa s chiefly noted for the energe tic spitefulness with which she carried out her performance. The entrance of the women of the town provided a sparkling moment to the opera. Arlene Williams and Barbara Liberasky were conspicuously good ,a s they were at thl' finale when the entire cast sang the closing song . Although on the whole the production of The Beggar's Opera was an enjoyable evening of theater, this reviewer found it restrained rather than (Continued on Page 6) �Nol with a whimper bul a bang Battle Cries In rhe clear blue skies over Germany came a roiaring and a !thunder that's been never heard, like the screaming sounds of a big war bird (with the 1812 Overture as background music) .

Like biblical locusts and 'the medieval black ,plagues, the eager, smiling frosh (for at least 'the 'first ten minutes of their welcoming address at or-i entation, during which talk 'they were quickly alble to associate i't wi'th high school chapel programs and consequently !became the typical mindless drudges, 1the apathetic students of Wilkes) descended upon 'the campus and in'to the eager arms of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce.

We know it sounds a bit bizarre, but in Camelot -that's how conditions are. (To be read with percepltion of the obvious symbolism.) This year's production in association with the Kiwanis Club was an enormou·s succe·ss both aes't hetically and financially. Maybe .this compliment doesn't !belong in a satiric revue, but we need something righ't about now for relief. The Chamber of Commerce was soon disenchanted with these new found ·customers, ·h owever. 11hey learned that most of the students bough't 'their clothes at Karp 's, named after the scrappy ( or is it crappy) game fish o-f 'the Susquehanna, instead of a't the more tasteful business district of Wilkes-Barre. It seems that the student body thought Karp's Anny-Navy Store had the latest in the militarymod or Red Guard look, so popular with today's wild things while the Wilkes-Barre stores had mistakenly bought large supplies of zoot suits and other ensembles recommended by Bob Cummings, Rod Cameron and Phyllis Diller. As we were saying before we ran off on this tangent concerning sartoria,l savoir-faire, the descending frosoh quickly found out about 'the sadisti-c tendencies of 'the upperclassmen during hazing.

The formal affair was he1d in an elegant blue and white setting at the Irem Temple Country Club. The candidates and their escorts were presented by Harry Russin , president of the senior class, and Miss Charlotte Lord, member of the College's English department. Dr. Francis Michelini, dean of Academic Affairs, presented to the queen a dozen long-stemmed roses and presented to each of the queen's court a bouquet of chrysanthemums. Miss Alfaro, chosen queen by the student body, was crowned by last year's Cinderella, Miss Marie Persic. The new quren, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Santiago B. Alfaro, will enter thr teaching profession after graduation. Diane, a graduate of West Chestrr Joint Senior High School where she was active in dramatics and an honor student, continued her interests at the College.

After personally spending two years at a college athle tic factory on a basketball scholarship, I can attest to this fact. Spending five hours a night for five months out of the year practicing for an extracurricular activity is not conducive to participant support. If such were the case here at Wilkes, the athletes would be the first to complain rather than those connected with sports only as spectators. The past year as spo rts editor of the Beacon has not been an easy on e. T:here are times when the job has not satisfied the Administration, other times when it has not pleased the s tudents; but most of all, there were times when th e job done has not pleased the spo rts editor himself. We were fortunate, however, in being able to cover one of the most successful years in Wilkes· sports history. This success was not something that just " happened " this year. but instead was the result of long years of work by many people. Believe it or not, Dr. Fariey has been one of th e staunchest allies of rhe College Athletic Program. When the question came up at a meeting in the not too dista nt past as to whether the Colonel football team should follow the well-trod path of the King 's football team , it was Dr. Farley who insisted that instead of dissolving the team, it be made into something of which the College could be proud. D ean Ralston. the father of Wilkes athletics, cannot receive too much praise for the job he has done, especially in helping the individual athletes themselves. Athletic director, John Reese. also deserves his share of the laurels, although he , as usual, would probably take the pessim istic view. Th e ind ividual coaches cannot be accused of a lack of conscientiousness or desire regardless of their final wonloss record. Last, but most importantly, the athletes themselves deserve the most praise for their outstanding work this year. All this may sound pretty corny. and perhaps it is, but it is something that eve rybod y thinks and nobod y ever gets around to saying. Athletic Factory Much criticism has come up thi s past year over the fact that Wilkes has become an " athletic factory." As has been pointed out before, thi s charge is not tru e. and the bes t evidence that can be given to support this claim comes from the at hl etes th emselves. If Wilkes were an athkt ic factory , the first complaints wo uld have come Athlete of the Year •T his year's Athlete of the Year selection is unusual in that a sophomore has been chosen, but it is also unusual in that the voting for the award was unanimous among the sports s taff. Joe Wiendl was outstanding in three sports: football , wrestling, and baseball. His continued presence at the College, in itself, promises a continuance of fine Wilkes' teams. N ex t year the sports editorship will be taken over by Bob Thompson. Bdb has worked on the sports staff for two years and has done work for Wilkes ' sports publicity including working closely with the three local newspapers. the UPI and the AP. Bob is also manager of the basketball team and as such stays close to the workings of the team . He should do a good job nex t year and institute some changes for the better. When I look back on the Tangerine fiasco. I can only wish that things were done different ly. A policy and a committee have been set up ·to handl e things now, but now is just a little too !·ate, though I sincerely hope that the committee is given cause next season to be more than just a standby. As I look back on th e elated momen ts of triumph and the dark hours of defeat, I find it difficult to establish any rapport with those w ho can find nothing useful in sports. Surely the field of competition serves as a proving ground for a man who wou ld do well in later life.

Wiendi sparkled the rest of the football seaso n. placed 2nd in the NCAA Tournam ent and has lead the baseball team in hitting and fielding. For these feats the Beacon has followed the general opi nion of the College athletic departmen t_Jn naming Joe our '" Athlete of the Year. · Wi endl is the College·s only threeletter man. In football he plays defensive half-back and a lso is th e team ·s punt-returner, a ve raging IO ya rds per return for the season.

H e was also named to the MAC Northern Di v ision all-star team . A s if that isn"t enough, Joe was on e of the outstanding members of the MAC cham pionship wrestling team here at the College. Wrestling at 152 pounds, he compiled a ten-one dual meet record, captured the MAC championship at that wei ght. and was runner-up in the NCAA Small College tournament. In basE.'ba ll Joe pla ys short- stop, but could probably pla y any pos ition on the field with as much success. He i; currently one of the most consis tent hitters on th e team. a nd w e feel that by the end of the season he could possibly be the team ·s most va luabl e player.
