This year's graduating class is in all probability no exception. Now, when that long awaited day is not in ,the too distant future , the seniors are meandering from New officers for Jaycees Recently the College's JayCecs held their annual eledion of officers for 'the following year. Elected to succeed thi s year's offi·cers were: •Michael Worth, president; George Collinson, vice-president; Allen Melberger, 1treasurer; and Don Stroud, secretary. At the same meeting it was decided who would 'be the recipients o-f the annual awards of Outstanding JayCee, Ou'ts'tanding Project, and the Reese Jones Award .

One of the offices the seniors must pass through is that o'f Millie Gittins, the devoted b ookstore commandant. Here the students are being fitted for their doaks of black and tassle-hanging bonnets. (Some students will no doubt pass through another office which will tell them, "Sorry, you only have 122 credits; you need I 23 to graduate.") Invitations, as well as the unsigned diplomas, are on order for the 325 members of the 1967 graduating class, including the 25 terminal students. Also, master's degrees will be presented, but the exact number to be issued cannot be determined until May 15, at which time consideration for the degree will be made on the basis of a thesis. This year, as every year, exercises will be held in the gym. Baccalaureate services will commence on June 4 at 5 p.m., with Dr. Reif as speaker. Commencement exercises, scheduled for June 5 at 8 p.m., will feature Mr. Jesse Choper, a graduate of Wilkes who once served as secretary to Chief Justice Warren.

Besides 'the actual displays, there 11he College art de-partment will present ART FAIR '67 today and tomorrow , under the direction of Mr. Anthony Evangelista. This annual event is designed to demons'trate t he creative accomplishments of Wilkes art s'tudents to the CoUege and surrounding communities. It will be held in Conyngham Annex, utilizing the entire building space for the display will also be demonstra'tions , showing art students as 't'hey work on various projects. •All art work of the fair will be by art majors or students enrolled in a major art ·c ourse, and will have passed a jury, consisting of senior art majors. All the work will be original and will not have been exhibi'ted at previous W ·ilkes art fairs. Assisting as cochairman of the affair are Mike Grace and Pa't Passer. by Carol Okrasinski The College's music department in cooperation with the Madrigal Singers and Cue 'n Curtain will present the eighteenth century play , The Beggar's Opera. Richard Chapline, a member of the music faculty, is directing the burlesque ballad opera which will be staged tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 and Sunday evening at 8:30 at the Center for the Performing Arts. The play , written by John Gay wit•h music by Christopher Pepusch , satirizes the sanctimonious upper class of 'that time and mimics Italian opera which was imitated in London. It represents 1the music department's initial venture in'to the realm of opera. Gay 's operatic work served as the basis for The Threepenny Opera which recently enjoyed a long run on Broadway. The major character of the play is the highwayman hero, Captain Macheath, who is portrayed by Michael Staire. Macheath declared he could be so happy with either Polly Peachum, who is played by Carol Cronauer, or Lucy Lockit, who is played by Anita Humer. He is married to -the former, though he promised to marry the latter and wa-s assisted 'by her to escape from jail. Although Mac:heath engages in extra-marital affairs, Polly's love for him remains 'true . Peachum , Polly 's father, played by Basil Russin , is a harborer of thieves bu't is virtuous •in the midst of depravity. Outwardly he is a respectable man but he is actually a •fence for Machea'th 's gang, and later betrays Macheath to t·he police. Mac'heath is arrested, escapes, is captured again and is 'tried and sentenced to be hanged. Dennis English portrays Lu cy's father , Lockit, who is the inhuman jailor. At the end of the play Macheath is reprieved and swears that he will remain 't rue to Polly in the future . Other members of the cast arl' Elaine Weber as Mrs. Peachum, Elaine Krushi'fski as Diana Trapes, and Curtis Roberts as Filch. The women of the town are played by Joy Geida, Merrill Farrell, Pat Barrerra, Patti Lewis, Barbara Li'berasky, Arlene Mezanko, and Carol Sutton. The men of the town are portrayed by Roger Butler, William Harrison, Thomas Jones, Michael Lisho, Edward Lisko, Elliot Rosenbaum, Neil Rosenshein , Robert Smurlo, and Robert Sokoloski. In support Qf the satirical theme, sixty-nine songs were included in THE BEGGAR'S OPERA, all of which will be included in the College's pro, duction. The songs are of primary concern because they contain much of the play's satire. <Tickets are availabl e free of charge for students, faculty, office and maintence personnel at the Center for the Performing Arts. All other ticket~ are $1.50. SG holds final 1-neeting Student Government held 'its last meeting of the year this past Tuesday. The main topic under discussion was the election of nexl year 's officers. Joe Gatto was elected president unanimously . Because Gatto was the sole nominee for the office and representatives o'f all classes were present a't the meeting, the usual general election for SG president was not held. It was only necessary to have an election among the SG representatives. Paul Wender defeated Judy Simonson for the office of vice-president. Elected treasurer and corresponding secretary, by acclamation, were Tom Kelly and Sharon Daney, respectively. Jean Marie Chapasko was elected recording secretary. Joni Kirschenbaum introduced the point that elections by acclamation might not be too popular in the public eye. Carl Siracuse stated that most of the officers have aspired and worked for rhese positions and to sacrifice these -people to 'th e public was unnecessary . Joe Gatto then ·took over the meeting and asked for the support of SG members. He then outlined the duties of the newly elected officers. Gatto appoin'ted ,Judy Simonson , Tom Kelly and Carl Siracuse to initiate a constitutional revision committee. He requested that they work independently over the summer and then collaborate in the fall. More membtrs will be appointed 'to t·he committee at a later date. Parliamentarian Paul Wender requested 1that SG purc'h ase two cop•ies df Robert's Rules of Ord·er for SG use, one for the parliamentarian and one for the president. The motion was passed unanimously. Norman Kresge , president of the Young Republicans. asked for and was granted $80 for a convention in Harrisburg. Judy Simonson of the Council of Clulb Presidents asked for a $1 ,000 loan 'to 'be repaid at the end of next year. The money is to be used to su'bs•idize t wo concerts and barbecues next year. 1Judy Simonson raised the motion that the SG president 'be given a bank account of at least $100 to enable him to attend all College .functions. The mo'tion was unanimously passed. Alan Saidman pointed out that student governments on other campuses take an active part in voicing opinions on current affairs. He believes that next year the Col'lege's own SG. which he feels is be<:oming "bogged down 'by social events, .. should pass resolutions on such topics. He feel s that SG members have a right and a duty to comlba't student apathy in this way s•ince they are t'he elected repre sentatives of the student body. L·ast week SG sent telegrams to Sena't ors Hugh Scdtt and Josep'h Clark a·sking them to support the Tuition Tax Credi1t Legislation. The legislation is a move to grant a $350 tax credit to families who have dependents in college. This 'is a part of the Pennsylvania Master Plan for N.E.P .l.C. (private colleges of northeastern Pennsylvania) and Public Instruction. Ma'tt Fli'Ss reminds •all campus organization presidents that they must submit a listing of all club officers for next year to SG as soon as possible. The lists may be given to any SG member, dropped off at the SG offi•ce on 'the second floor of Chase Hall, or left in the SG box at 'the Bookstore. $5000 award to be given The Edward L. Bemay Foundation is offering a $5000 award to any person who offers a concrete and practical program to further mutual understanding between the people of the United Kingdom and the United States. Anyone is eligible to enter the competition and entries must be postmarked not later than midnight, June 30, 1967 and should be sent to the Foundation, 7 Lowell Street, Cam bridge, Massachusetts, 02138.

Usually any criticism, justified or unjustified, reflects the reaction of certain elements to a policy or action of a government. Last week's editorial was a reaction to a situation of inaction on the part of Student Government, and it expressed a justifiable alternate to the present paucity of policy displayed by Student Government. But inaction is a charge necessitated only by a definite need for action. That the need for action exists can be displayed by the formation of organizations which also function to govern the student body. The Council of Club Presidents and the lnterdormitory Council with its separate governing structures for each dormitory set policy for large segments of the student body without any real responsibility to Student Government. We believe that an effective student government should function as an organ of central decision making on student policy. To relegate power to groups which are not franchised by a majority of the student body and who govern that same body is a violation of the democratic process as well as an indication of a laissez-faire Student Government. . Is our present Student Government a policy maker or an administrator. If Student Government is only responsible for the formulation of the social calendar, the handling of club monies, and the entrepreneur or barbecues, dances, and banquets, then a single administrator could be elected to fulfill this position within the guidelines of a set policy. But policy as law is a living thing and must constantly be reevaluated and often be revised. When a policy-making organization does not function as a vehicle of expression of ideas, a sterile situation develops which results in a government locked up in a prison of blind traditions. Now we are informed that Student Government has withdrawn into itself for the election of next year's president. This responsibility in recent years has been the responsibility of the student body; and in giving a reason for this change, Student Government has said that because only one candidate was nominated for the office, no election was necessary. It seems in light of this that either the student body has found in one person a complete expression of the beliefs of the student body in which case it suggests that they are unaware of "the diversity of ideas and beliefs that exist among men." Also it could suggest that Student Government has lacked the power to reproduce capable offspring from which Student Government could choose a leader. This monarchical tendency of succession shows also a lack of student interest in their affairs. Students are responsible to their government as is their government responsible to its students. Is this college a society so united that it needs no vice offering re-evaluation and alternatives? Will the new president offer a dynamic force in student opinion or merely formulate a different set of dates for a year which will probably be identical to the ones that have been? If the student body wishes to form a vaccine for SG to fight its abolishment, it must be synthesized on the idea that student government begir, to assume its function as executor of the will of the student body. Administration is provided for by the College and Student Government should govern and serve the college in accordance with the designs of the college bulletin that the educated will participate "constructively in the social, economic, and political life of the college." It would not be possible for Student Government to fulfill this qualification without functioning as a sincere virile force in the student life. \NHAT • \NHERE • \NHEN SPRING WEEKEND - Today and Tomorrow CINDERELLA BALL- Student Government- lrem Temple Country Club- Tonight, 9 p.m.-1 a.m. DRAMA - THE BAO SEED - Showcase Theatre, 39 N.

Rep defends stud'I Gov't Dear Editor: -As a member of Studen't Government, I welcome constru·c tive criticism, and I sympathize with your attitude of pragmatism ~ for SG is not a utopia by any means, However, after read'ing your recent editorial which blatently degraded SG, I decided to poin't ou't a few facts that you seemingly overlooked, Taken collectively, your suggestions would only trans'fer SG's power to the Council af Club Presidents. Let me point out what this might mean. I. The 'formation calendar: o•f the social You suggested that the Council of Club Presiden'ts assume this responsibility or appoint students to formulate the calendar. Under that system guess who would get prime dates for activi'ties. Right! 'f.he clubs whose presidents were on 't'he calendar ·commi't'tee. (You must realize 't hat this committee cannot consist of twenty 'to thirty bickering club <presidents.) So you really think they would strictly abstain from letting their unconscious bias direct them while constructing the calendar? In case you didn't know, the SG Calendar Committee uses a set of priori'ty rules (listed in the constitution) to prevent favori'tism while forming the calendar. 2. The duties of campus exchequer: 1So you really think that a group of commerce and finance majors would be representative af the studen't body? Have you heard of ·t:ihe "power of the purse?" He who controls the purse controls the policy. I'd certainly like 'to be a member of 'the Accounting Club i1f the purse strings were ·held by commerce and finance majors! G. Establishing social regulations and conduct: 11 wish to cite two examples where SG met its respons·lb ilities in this category. Do you remember way back in October when some vandals removed coats and purses from the dance in our gym 1 Wlho 't ook actions 'to set up FORUM With protesters to t'he morality and legality of the Vietnam war being ignored or mere.ly written-off as "peaceniks" and with every college man having to face ·the ultimate decision, the Beacon believes it is time to present an informed and responsible oppos'ing opinion. In answer to an antagonistic questioner, Sanford Gottlieb, the politicalaction director of SANE, spoke about the Vietnam war, as qumed in The Catholic Worker: "Now I happen to believe that Jesus Christ was the world's greatest revolutionary, because he loved his enemies, and commanded his followers to love their enemies. I believe this and, I try to live it, though I mysell am a Jew. My question, therefore, is: 'Do you believe it?' " This dilemma was enlarged and explained in the article "Can We Serve Both Love and War?" by Rev. Philip Berrigan, S.S.J. •Most Chl'is'tians and most Americans have grea.t difficulty in see'ing the I ( the seJif) as being also the we ('humanity). Consequently, we cannot feel the effects o'f our actions as other people >feel them, we cannot see ourselves as others see us. And so, by and large, we think we can have peace by fighting wars, we think we can rape a peop'le and have them .Jove us, we th'ink by way of practical norm , that we can have every.thing that wealth and arms can force from o'thers. Or nearly everything. Most children could tell us, I suppose (provided that they have not played with too many war toys or watched too many Westerns) that you can'!t have war and peace at once and that, g·iven ,the determination of the Vietnamese, you can 't have a truce in Vietnam and a base against Ohina. One or the other has to go. "To go a bit further "into the 'problem,' we cannot ravage the ecology of Vie'tnam and wi'II ten civilians for every soldier and expect to have anything but 'do or die' opposition. We cannot bomb North Vietnam and support U Thant's program for peace. We cannot replace Polaris with Poseidon and expect to avoid an armsrace es·calation into ABM systems. We cannot fight the abstraction of Communism 'by killing 't he men who believe in 'it. We cannot propagandize for -peace while our deeds give the lie to our words. In a word , we can't have it 'both ways. And that's why our friend, and so many Christians and Americans, have a 'problem.' How can we serve love and war? The fact is that we can't. "People have, I would say, two problems when they try to serve love. T~e first is to know themselves; the .II second is to know what they must be. As to the first, we are, in effect, a violent people and none of the mythological pablum fed us at Mother's knee, in the classroom or at Fourth of July celebrations can refute the charge. The evidence is too crushing, whether it be Hiroshima, or nuclear equivalents of seven tons of TNT for every person on this planet, or subhuman housing in the ghettoes of America. A substantial share of our troubles comes from what we own, and how we regard what we won. President Johnson told our troops: 'They (the rest of the world) want what we have and we're not going to give it to them!' To prevent them, one thing needs to be done: 'Bring home the coonskin and hang it on the wall.' "Ideologically, we are in Vietnam because of China; econom'i!ca'l,ly we are there because of wealth. Ideology has been tailored to flt economk aggrandizement. Scripture tells us that one must choose God or riches. This na'tion 'has overwhelmingly made its choi1ces, and i'ts riches. Our shr"inking world being what 'it is, we are now in the process of assuring the same status quo abroad as at home, and that means keeping the 'haves' on top and the 'have nots' on the bot-tom . Foreign policy is increasingly becom'ing indistinguishable from domestic policy. The curtain is no 'longer iron or bamboo or cotton, it is mostly dollar and to a lesser exten't ruble, franc and pound. Abroad, the 'have nots ' are two billion people, most af them brown, yellow, or black; at home, we have ,t hirtyfour rndlion poor people, fourteen million of whom are black. The arguments that we are in South Vietnam to insure the freedom of that people, lha't we are bombing the North to make a rising 'quotient of pain' the price of aggression in the South, that behind the National Liberation Front stands Hanoi and behind Hanoi Peking represents a degree o'f hypocrisy unmatched in history. They are pure Cold War rhetoric. The only present freedom we're fighting for is our own, and that is of questionable value , since ultimately it means the right to stay on tap of the ·anthill and fight off those crawling up the 'Slopes. "When a people arbitrarily decide that this planet and its riches are to be divided unequally among equals, and that the only criterion for the division is the amount of naked power at its disposal, diplomacy tends to be essentially military, truth tends to be fiction, and the world tends to become a zoo without benefit of cages, and war tends to be the ultimate rationality, because reason ltas been bankrupted of human alternatives.'' a coat checking system and set up regulations to enforce its efficiency? Could it have been SG? So you remember way back in March when someone at one of our dances was thrown to the floor and kicked in the face? Who took action 'to require that all clubs have a police officer present a't our dances? Could 'it have been SG? 4. Class officers to better represent the students: Does you·r suggestion mean the formulation of a "council of class officers?" I always thought that nine people ('class officers and Ave SG members could be'tter represen't several hundred students per class) fhan only four class officers. Maybe I'm wr9ng. 5. Existing groups of individuals io assume student governing more efficiendy: If the student body were to be governed by the separate, independent groups that you suggest (IDC, the Council of Club Presidents, and the class officers), do you realize the chaos, the confusion, and the rivalry 't hat would reign on our campus? There would be no central co-ordinator like SG. Since you like 'to quote Samuelson, re-read pages 25-27. He reminds us 'that, "'too many cooks spoil the soup." By all means continue to constructively criticize SG - I mean tha't sincerely - but please consider my argumen'ts if you re-evaluate the 'i deas expressed in your caustic editorial. Tom Kelly Soph. SG Rep. Heard from the Herd Gleaned from newspapers received by 'this office, the Beacon presents articles df interest to its readers. 1 From the Village Voice - "Anyone who sends a stamped, self-addressed envelope to Irwin Gooen, 724 East 27th Street, Brooklyn 10, will ge!t back picture pos't cards from different places around the country. First come, first served." (Wow!) From THE ITHACAN - (a la Al Capp) The wave of protest music seems to be breaking before the huge frigate bearing The Cross of Goldbullion. "Bob Dylan is a protes't singer. He sings o'f being down and out in t'he gutters of New York . . . bu't he had to leave the luxurious confines of the SAM house at the University of Min nesota to get there. "Joan Baez 'is another protest singer. She sings much the same 'type of song as Dylan - except she usually tacks some implication of sexual abuse on'to her songs. Now, whether Joan has been sexually abused is irrelevant. " Even Bitter-Bob seems to be Bopping Up his tunes and leaning toward fhe now-popular folk-rock sound, and Joanny B. in her own little non-conforming way is following suit." From The Temple University News - (You see, misery is universal.) "Metzger, while acknowledging that there is a parking problem , said, 'The parking situation could be alleviated if students used public 't ransportation or car pools. . . . Various surveys have been taken a-cross the country which show that the more parking you provide, the more people drive.' "Metzger does not drive.'

(Continued on page 3) �WILKES Friday, May 5, 1967 IRC airs views on Middle East 11he whole affair began when Nasser aided republican rebels whose aim was ,to overthrow the established monarchy. These rebels made a rather puny show o·f revolution and had to request aid from Nasser. He offered it, hoping no doubt that Yemen would become an Egypt'ian satellite. Apparently Nasser did not expect su·c h fierce resistance from ,the northern tribes, nor did 1he e~pect King Feisa,I of Saudi Arabia to support t'he royalists. ,T he irony of the entire Yemen s ituation 'lies in the fact that the republ1icans Nasser has been supporting have now rebelled against him . -Y:he close second previously mentioned, Aden, is a tiny British colony due .to become independent in 1968. Consequently every political faction in the country is try1ing to muster enough strength to fill the power vacuum which will follow British withdrawal. The strongest agitating group. the Fron't for the Liberation of Occupied South Yemen (F.L.O.S.Y.), is supported lby Nasser. This party periodically shoots at members of the Natlional Llber·ation Front who do not possess .the same sentiments of the South Arabian League. Unfortunately, all these dissident elements shoot at the British who are simply attempting to keep order in the crown colony. Further to the northwest, Nasser 's henchmen are still trying to overthrow the anti-Nasser king of Jordan , Kfog Hussein. Israel and Syria are still at bay and are continually raiding back and 'forth across the border. Should Nasser's ma clhinations succeed, should Nasser gain control of Yemen and Aden, the Red Sea will become Egypt's pond. And this control will have repercussions throughout the ent<ire world. Anxie!ty over the Middle East has continually plagued western Europe ever since its first interest in the region. This is due to the fact -that the Middle East 'is always in a state df Hux. !Presently, it would appear that :this boiling cauldron is lboiJ.ing more than in previous years. Instead of one or two belligerents cau•s ing trouble, as is generally the case, seven Middle Eastern nations are on the rampage. It ap pears that Egypt 'is the cause of the seething discon'tent and of the conflict or the confl!iots in the region. !The most troublesome boil in the region is •proba'bly Yemen, and Aden runs a dose second. President Nasser of Egypt has 47,000 troop·s in Yemen and they are 'fighting some fatigued but tenacious royalists who hold out in the mountains in the northern hal'f of the country. Because ,t he terrain is imip ossible to meet with adequately, the fighting has become an expensive stalemate. The war is costing Egypt $500,000 a day, and it has already cost Nasser 5,000 of :his best 'troops.

NORTHAMPTON STREET COLLEGE BEACON Ha1T1pton visits campus by Irene Norkaitis Last week twelve students from Hampton Institute, Hampton, Virginia, arrived on campus to complete phase two of the Hampton exchange program. ,T heir activities began with a dinner, a tea, and a private party . This was followed by a tour of Stegmaier Brewery and the campus, attendance of classes, and a Hampton dance. They were guests of Dr. Farley when he held a picnic in their honor at his &CARD by Helen Dugan Th1s is a saga of a pessimistic slob with a sadistic sense of •humor. This slob was, at the start of this year, a loving, sensitive individual who only thought good thoughts, attended all assembllies, patronized Beacon advertisers, and knew all the words to the alma mater. 'But then came the first marking period and a little ha-tred was mixed with tears and pink slips and was cultivated and nurtured through his daily walk from his parking place in West Scranton, more pink slips, recruiters in t he caf, the i'ibrary fund drive - to which he would have given if it hadn't been for t·he librarian burning his newly-finished 95-page term paper that he inadvertantly left on her desk when he was paying a two-cent fine, and finaUy, the distribution of standardized deficiency slips with his name already on them . All in all, our poor, unassuming piece of clay was molded into a fierce , destructive creature bent on the path of revenge. His pranks have been met with some distaste but his lates t craft is an unth'inka<ble, dastardly Hout to Wilkes and all its students. Our desp icable subject has now become the author of a booklet entitled: "Cinderella and other Student G-:ivernment Jdkes." The part of the booklet with which I'm now concerned consists of severa•I steps of how to eradicate tranquility and composure and bring out every one's inferiority complex , thus making the C inderella Ball a symbol of nervous frustration to be herea'fter avoided by a'll. The first step is guaranteed to shatter your date before the evening begins. One must appear one hour before his des ignated arriva,I and loudly comment on the fleeting time every five minutes bu•t also keep ment-ioning that it doesn't really matter if they're going ,to be late and not be able to get a tab.le. •T he second step is the receiving 'line that enmeshes at leas t one faculty member (if the 1line is long enough, maybe even two or three) and your already-jittery date.

The third and fourth steps are carried out on the dance floor . By this time one's date is usually ge.tting quite upset and 'i't isn''t too hard to gain people's attention. One is now supposed to stare at someone dancing near, preferably a guy and someone whose name you know, until 1he 'looks your way. You then nod to him, sort of grin and turning half way back to your date exclaim, "It's too bad they didn 't have Tom '·s size for his tuxedo, isn't it?" The fourth step consists of leaning towards the girl with the h igh, elaborate hair-do and quietly whispering, " My dt"ar, are you a.ware that your wig is slipping?" One then goes back to the faculty victims for the fif.th step. As a member of t'he faculty (or Administration, which ever you loathe more at the moment) passes your table you grab ·her hand and say , " Mrs. , I think it's great, your going so mod and daring . Imagine wearing that dress and those shoes together." The sixth step is very limited . It can only be carried out after convincing everyone that you are the perfect one to •c rown Cinderella. And as that g-lorious moment approaches and you are placing t·he glittering token on the radiant reci-pient's 'head , you suddenly start to visually shake (making everyone say how cute and meek you look) . You then fran'tically pin the crown so it hangs over the girl's hangs - which she didn't have when you started and congratulate her by sweeping her into your arms, !bending •her ·haH way to the floor and passionately caressing her with kisses. The excitement of this step can be heightened by announcing the name of 'the wrong girl. A supplement is added to the booklet as a novel pre-ball idea. If one has what used to be a close 'friend who goes away to "school (the farther the bet-ter) but with w'hom he has recently become disenchanted, this hardened author suggests that 'he ·invite 'him and his girl friend .to double with him for a real bash. It 's the Cinderella Ball and everyone dresses like the shabby Cindere<Ha - well it's sort of a hobo masquerade but it's lots of fun . He should make 's ome excuse for not bein~ able 't o pi-c k them up and then he waits for their entrance to the ball. The'ir reaction when they arrive can usually be summed up with the word hysteria (By using sHghtly neu rotic subjects a more interesting reaction can be obtained).

The play, written in the 18th century wi~h 'fhe text by John Gay and music by Christopher Pepusch, satirizes the rich and hypocri'tical upper class df the period and burlesques Jit alian opern whi'ch was very much imi'ta'ted in the London t'heaer of that •time. Beggar's Opera recently enjoyed a long run on Broadway in the form of The Threepenny Opera, adapted by Bertolt Brecht with music by Kurt Weill. The central figure of the play is the debonaire, handsome and dashing Captain Macheath, who will be portrayed by Michael Staire. Macheath is a highwayman and is secretly married to Polly Peachum, who is played by Carol Cronauer. The captain engages -in ex'tra-mari-tal affairs, yet his wife's love for him remains llrm and rigid. However; Polly's father, played by Basil Russin . is outwardly a respectable man but is really a -fence for Macheath's gang, and ·he later betrays Macheath to the police. Machea'th is arrested, escapes, is cap'tured again and is :tried and sentenced to be hanged. At the end of ,the play he is reprieved and swears 'that in the fu- Junius-I RC adopts new constitution by Bob ThompS'.>n At a recent meeting of the JuniuslRC Club, officers for the I 967-68 academic year were chosen. l1hose newly-elected officers are : :president, John T. Engle; executive vice-president, Chris Shaw; llrst vice~resident, Gail Wallen: second vice-presi•d ent, Albert Rine'himer; recording secretary, Sharon Daney; 'treasurer, Steve Lurie ; and historian, Bdb Thompson . The newly-adopted constitution provides for a division of authority which is branched ou•t on different levels. The club also established llve awards to be given annually. An award will be presented to the member df the freshman class with the highest scholastic average in History 101 -102. A second commendation will be presented ,to that history major who attains 1the highest average in American History 107-108. Awards will also go to that his tory major who attains the 'highest average in •history for seven semesters •a nd to that student who presents an original research paper, properly documented and with cited references for any ·a dvanced history course offered at the College. A committee consisting of Dr. Cox, Dr. Ireland, and Mr. Berg or their ,a ppointees shall determine it he recipient of the award. A llfth award will go to the person contributing the most to th e Junius-lRC Club. The awards commiHee will do 'the selecting of all recipients except as noted. Only •the award for the highest average for seven semesters will be pre'Sented this year by 't he club. Also discussed was the success of the two lectures in the "Conflicts of Peace" series which drew 360 people. The llrst lec't ure was given by Mr. Jeff P. Van den Boggert of the Netherlands, and the second was given by Mr. Do Lenh Tuan, llrst secretary of the Observer Office of the Republic of Vietnam to the United Nations. The lecture series will be continued for next year. NOTICE Attorney Thomas E. Mack will speak at the College on Tuesday, May 2. T •he topic to be covered is "Law in the Uni't ed States Today." The program will take place at 11 a.m. in ~he Christian Science Church. ICG will be host; all are invited to attend . ture he will remain true to Polly . In keeping with the sa'tire on Italian operas, Gay included 69 songs in the Beggar's Opera, all of which will be included in the music department's production. The songs merit the close attention of the audience because much of 1the play's satire is to be found in them. It is also interesting to note that the recently popular song "Mack the Knife" is adapted from one of the songs in the opera. Sharing the lead roles with Russin , Staire and Miss Cronauer wilt be Elaine Weber as Mrs. Peachum, Anita Humer as Lucy Locki't , Elaine Krushifski as Diana Tr,a pes, Curtis Roberts as Filc'h, and Dennis English as Lockit.

No, we are not revolutionary minded; we just think that this "venerable" institution, whose representative positions are "much coveted" by the student body, is just a hanger-on, another bunch of committees and sub-committees adding dead weight to the College's bureaucracy. It seems to us that there are other bureaucratic institutions on this campus which could handle student government matters more effectively. And since every editorial must have reasons to support its purpose, here are ours. One of SG's main functions, that of regulating campus clubs, could very well be taken over by the newly-formed Council of Club Presidents. Since these people are more closely connected with the matter at hand, clubs, there is no reason why they could not be more effective in governing themselves and working out their own problems than could SG. As for the social calendar, campus events could possibly be scheduled by a calendar committee appointed by the Council of Club Presidents. It could consist of members of the Council or several capable people appointed by them. Campus clubs and organizations are, after all, the sponsors of 99 per cent of the social events on campus. Why not put the scheduling of these affairs in the hands of those most directly concerned? Homecoming and Spring Weekend, two of the few affairs totally planned by SG, might be administered by several members from the executive council of each of the four classes, since these are affairs held by and for f).e entire student body. SG's dutie1, as campus exchequer might also be assigned to a group of students appointed by the Council of Club Presidents (let the clubs dole their own dole, accordingly) or to a non-partisan group appointed by the Council, commerce and finance majors, perhaps, who might be looking for before-the-job training. In the same vein, might not class elections be governed by a board of political science people? According to the College's Bulletin, SG is responsible for establishing social regulations and conduct. We feel that we have yet to see SG act as the campus arbiter of social and behavioral norms and standards. There exist already, we think, organizations which can and do handle any outstanding behavioral infractions. The Inter-Dormitory Council can take care of any such problems occurring among the resident students. The Council of Club Presidents can assume the responsibility of punishing offenders among its members with respect to their club activities. And the Administration is known to have a way of handling any glaring behavioral or social infractions occurring within the student body in general. One might counter our argument with the statement that the student body needs a group which will serve as its representative. Might not the officers of the individual classes assume this task? Are they not elected as representatives of their particular classes? Could not these officers be better representatives of the students, because of their intimacy with their own classes' needs, problems and aspirations, than could a distant governing body which must worry about a whole mass? One might also counter with the argument that the student body needs a united voice and that is why we need SG. Well, where is the voice? It appears to us then that there are already existing or could exist groups of individuals which could assume the tasks of student governing with the same and in some cases more effectiveness than that body elected to do so now. Besides, Samuelson tells us that division of labor produces the best results with the greatest efficiency ( unless the law of diminishing returns rears its head). COMEDY EVERYWHERE What follows are some of the best jokes that we have heard in years. All were gleaned from the College's Bulletin and Student Handbook. We wonder if the writers of these two tomes have ever considered the stage as a career. It could be worth millions to them. And awaaay we go - "The possession and use of liquor on campus are forbidden, and none will be served at College affairs." "Smoking is not permitted in classrooms or hallways, in the library or on the first floor of the Commons. Facilities are available in various buildings for students who may wish to smoke during their free periods." "Student Government also plans Spring Weekend. Clubs and organizations set up gala outdoor booths, and the campus takes on a Mardi Gras atmosphere." "The position of Student Government Representatives is among the most coveted and most responsible on the campus." "You will find that Wilkes students do not smoke in classroom buildings, the library or in Chase Hall. They may and do smoke on campus and in the lounges, however." "Like most of her sister colleges, Wilkes naturally frowns on the wearing of letters won at other institutions. Of course that doesn't mean that you must leave your school letter-sweater to the moths. Simply detach the offending letter and let the unadorned garment shield you from Susquehanna's chilling blasts." "The library maintains open stacks in which you may browse freely - a privilege which places an obligation on you: the staff expects you to have all books charged at the circulation desk before you remove them from the building." "Try always to remember that the library is intended for reading and study. If you find it absolutely necessary to talk, or whisper, you may do so in the foyer. Smoking and snackmunching are permitted only in the front foyer." Didn't we tell you that the College Bulletin and the Student Handbook are fun things? Not only are they interspersed with jokes such as the above, but both books are written in a folksy and homey style of writing. To make one feel wanted, befriended and informally at ease, of course. Do read one or both the next time you are down in the dumps. Mentally, that is. COLLEGE BEACON Friday, April 28, 1967 NEITHER HERE NOR THERE £.LE e,, 1 o,J S 'ft>, 13 o 1.. Ed. Note: Class elections have, of course, already been run and won. The BEACON, however, decided to whip out its instant replay equipment to show the mechanics behind election victory. ELECTIONS! The cry goes out far and wide. Each year a't ·this time our own little Boss Tweeds set out to cover themselves with political glory . This year's freshman elections involve n·o significant issues or people. It has become a battle of girth versus mirth. The incumbent is Lebanon Lengle who points with pride to his role as a I by John T. Engle Part II In 1961, Mao Tse-tung ruined th e Chinese economy by gambling on guns and forsaking butter in order to complete the removal of th e West from China. By 1964 China had exploded 'her first atomic devic" ; b ut in doing so, had alienated signJ'ficant power groups 'in P eki ng and outlying distri cts and provinces. In an attempt to regain control. Mao was forced to inject anti-western t'heology in the youth of China rather than invest ,in a program of consolidation of what China had earned since 1949. This policy has lead to a power struggle between the Red Guards, who are bent upon dives ting from China every thing that is even slightly tainted W es'te rn, and .('he experts, who are seeking a more practical approach to political and economic progress. As occurred in Russia in 1924 and 1953, Communism in China today is sh ifting to the right as the forces who control the apparatus become more conservative. In the final analysis, Mao Tsetung will be unabl e to survive the Cultural Revolution . The present two-China policy of the United States is impossible. Becoming more realistic, the U.S. is beginning to react more favorably towards granting Communist China a seat in the United Nations, a seat that she would probably refuse. The U.S. stand has seen China as the major aggressor nation in the Far East since World War II. The Johnson theory of the need to stop communism now in the jungles of Vietnam - the Domino theory - assumes that if the communists win in that country, they will shortly be in San Francisco. China 's outlook on expansion has always been consistent; it has been a backward motivation to regain what China controlled in pas t his'tory . Both Chiang Kai-shek and Mao T se-tung have maintained that •the Indian border belongs to China . But even though China does a lot of shouting, she remain s a country very cautious ,in military expansion. In the present conflict , the only reason for Chinese military intervention in the Viet Nam war 'to occur is if allied troops cross the seventeenth parallel and attack North Vietnam. ,Pres ident Johnson 's Ohina policy is based on a mi sguided program of per- whole in t he last semester. Opposing him is Wilmington Pines, better known as Zap, who successfully made a bid to move up a notc'h from last semester 's "vice" -presidency. Lengle's posters hit the campus first, proclaiming him as the higgest, and therl'fore the best ( crushing logic) candidate. Wilmington struck back by tearing all the "vices" off his posters, which he was care'ful to preserve from the last e'lection. Le ngle is standing on his record, which is prdbably screaming in agony right now. Wilmington is also standing on 'his record, which is very hard to find . Lengle likes to hit the caf-goers wifo snappy, one-line Ayers 'hot off the mimeograph machine, while Pines prefers 'the heartstring twanging approach by putting out paragraph upon paragrap1h of flowery prose te'lling us that he loves motherhood, virginity •a nd apple pie (not necessarily in ~hat order) . Both candidates agree Government was a hig semester, which comes as all freshmen, especially didn'lt even know it was that Student success last a suiiprise to those who there. I ipheral containment and isolation. Wh'ile the U.S. must have containment , jsolation of a coun'try larger than the U.S. with a population of some 750 million people, in an evergrowing smaller world, is ridiculous. A much more realistic answer to the problem was offered by General Jam es Gavin in a speech to Congress in 1965. W i th smaller forces and a larger nuclear deterren't , the U .S . could contain Chinese ex:pansion by drawing an invisible line and warning China if she crossed the line, that it would mean war with the U .S. Instead of maintaining a strategic sphere in Southeast Asia with 437,000 men in Vietnam and bases in Thailand, one ~haH of the present forc e in South Vietnam should be withdrawn and, in order to discourage Chinese expansion, enclaves, of troops and materials be scattered around the map of China. In a situation in which both major conflicting powers look upon each other as the aggressor, bdth wit'h valid claims, any escalation of the war by the one can only ,be met wi'th likeforce by the other. In conclusion, the history of China for the last one hundred years has been to consolidate the country into a "China for the Chinese". Under the leadership of Sun-Yart-sen, Chiang Kai-shek, and finally Mao Tse-tung, thi'S objective has been achieved. At the risk of a two fron't war, Russia and Chin·a on the nort'h and the United States versus China on the south, a more conservative growing China will 't ry to settle its disputes with Russia . And with a more realistic approach to our foreign policy, a de-escalation of the war in Vie't Nam will be possible. However, we should not think that the office df president is the one up for grabs. There are many •posts open to the enterprising power and fun seeker, but these are becoming harder to come by due to a trick ,cal1ed a " vote by acclamation. " There is a rumor -thait this is the way Hitler became chancellor. iette14J Organization meets at caf Dear Editor: It has been brought to my attention that many Wilkes students are annoyed that their Monday night facilities at t'he Commons are being monopolized by a certain group of "strangers. " Perhaps some df these feelings would disappear rf the students were aware of the identity of these "strangers. This group of peo ple is composed of both volunteers and members of a group known as Council House. Council House, which just celebrated its sixth birthda,y , is a welfare organization whose purpose 'i nvolves social rl'habilitation for those in the community who are in need of such a service. When Council House searched for a meeting place, the College was kind enough to donate the upper floor of the Commons for this pui,pose. The pt-ace is ideal for the size and nature of the organization . Council House is very grateful for ·the use of this meeting area, especially since the opening of the Commons for nighttime use by the students. Working as a volunteer for Council House, I can assure everyone of the worth of this organization . I feel very proud that Wilkes has had a hand in making 'this organization a success. Now that 'the students are aware of Council House, maylbe they will be more willing to sacrifice their Monday night use of our .facilities for such a worthwhile purpose . Joanne Skiba Donation Dear Editor: On Thursday, March 9, an elderly man walked into the Wilkes College Bookstore and inquired as to where he could make a donation to the Wilkes College Library Fund . I told him I would take the money and send it to the proper department. When I asked for his name , he said it wasn 't important, but that he wanted to give toward the Library Fund. He apologized for not being able to give more! I though't the students at W ·ilkes College would like to know that there are people who are willing to share, rich and poor alike, to further their education. Mildred A.

The Devel'opment Office, located on the ,third floor of Chase Hall , is he·aded by Mr. Walter Mohr. Mr. Mohr , a graduate of Bloomsburg Stalte College and a post-graduate at NYU and Bu,ckne!l, came to Wilkes in January , 1963. Of the position he says , "The work of a college development office entails all aspects of rhe future growth of that -i nstitution.

E'tPeeieAX£s AflE R.EtJ~W~T> Critic gets upset over spectators by Lorraine Sokash ,Words of love, jE.>alousy, hat red , lust, and envy were u'ttered by the Cue and Curtain players in their recent production of Shakespeare 's Othello. Set in 1604, t he play •presents the etemal conflict between man and evil. a conflict in which evil becomes so powel'ful that beau:ty and fidelity are trampled by the rushing chariot of hatred and suspicion. In t'he early scenE.>s, Othello is a man of great integrity, but being caught in Iago's web, he soon 'becomes a man dominated by hatred and suspicion. Edwin Manda, as Othello, excellently prE.>sented this trans ition . The tone of his rich, low, mellifluous voice expressed !the torment and anguish of Othello's soul when h e learned of Desdemona's infidelity and when he realized, although too late , her innocence. Manda 's voice notwit-hstanding, however, his speeches were at times hard to follow . This wa s prdba-bly due to his rolling together of syllables. But once one caught on to Manda 's delivery. his lines became clearer. Darlene Van Meter, as Desdemona, was outstanding. Her voice was clear; her beauty and fine acting contributed to her pedormance. Particularly well done was her performance in the willow scene; Mrs. V anMeter managed to project a pathetic and innocent girl marked for death by the machinations □□□oooooooooao□oa□ooooooo□CKJ□oooococooo□o□o□oo□o Shop At KAY REAGAN'S for Evening Gowns Cocktail Dresses Sportswear 215 South Franklin St. Corner of South St. oocatmoooooocooooooooooooooooaoo□□□□□□□□□□□Cl □□o□ of a villainous man. The villain, Iago, played by Jan Kubicki, exemplified the man who was beset wilth 'hatred and jealousy. "Honest Iago" whose motive at first was merely to humiliate Othello and to obtain Cassio's lieutenancy became so engulfed in his s cheme t'hat on one could escape his web of death . Ku bicki. in his final Cue 'n Curtain play, gave another very talented performance equal to, if not bet'ter, than his role as King Pellinore in Camelot. His acting was supe~b , especially in the scene where he convinced Othello of Desdemona"s infidelity . Roderilio, the man passed over by love but ~ccepted by evil, was played by the versatile James Gallagher, familiar to CPA audiences for bis performancs as Mordred in CAMELOT and as the suitor in Chekhov's MARRIAGE PROPOSAL. However, i1t was un1fortunate 'that the audience found Gallagher 's death 'humorous. Perhaps, a more polite audience wouldn 't 'have reacted this way at such a tragic moment , bu't perhaps, the actor 'failed to capture it'he emotional quality necessary for the scene. And Ted Levitsky, as Cassio, performed well a s the fighting and swooning lieutenant and lover of Bianca. However, at times his voice seemed to lack the proper emdtional tone. Emilia, played by Jean Kardos, acted and died well. H er gestures and expressions were excellent in the scene where Desdemona··s innocence was revealed. But a s w i,th Levi1rsky , her voice occasionally lacked l"mo'tion as she appeared to be just acting. Although the scene design, lighting, and players by themselves were good, the production as a whole lacked the necessary quality needed to make a great production, and this fact was noticeable in the general reaction of the audience.

T ,he realization of these plans depends on the College ·s a cquisition o f proper ty when it be-comes available. Mr. Mohr further s'tated that certain factors limit and influence just what shape this ins titution will take. Because Wilkes is a main -city College and property is scarce , the College will grow up with many-floored 'buildings rath er tha n with sprawling, single-storied edifices. Also, the Wilkes-Barre Zoning Commission has stopped any furth er improvemen't or development on South River Stree't from Parrish Hall to Northampton Street. In closing, Mr. Mohr sa id, "The success of any modern educationa l institution is actually in th e planning for the future. And we do plan for the eX'pansion of Wilkes. Bu t we are always conscious of maintaining a balance and s tability which will keep Wilkes a successful institution." Dear Editor: 'A few days back, I was a n eye witness to an unfortunate incident.

Seep. 3 Friday, April 21, 1967 VOL. XXVI, No. 21 Tonight at 8:30 p.m ., after three months of preparation, Cue 'n Curtain will open its first Shakespearean production, Othello, in the Center for the Performing Arts. This Shakespearean tragedy of jealousy, suspicion, and intrigue, one of his most difficult to perform, is being directed by Alfred S. Groh, assisted by Miss Myvanwy Williams. The action of the play unfolds as Iago, Othello's ensign, seeks to incite the hopes of wealthy, gullible Roderigo, whom Desdemona has shunned as a suitor in order to marry Othello. In order to justify Roderigo's demands to produce some results to justify the gold and jewels that he has been paid to advance Roderigo's suit, Iago decides to bring Cassio into his plot as a means of discrediting Desdemona in th e eyes of Othello, thus enhancing Roderigo's chances with Desdemona . At the same time, Cassio will lose his lieutenancy, which Iago feels he deserved instead of Cassion. Spurred on by success, Iago becomes bolder in his scheming until he devilishly implants in Othello's mind suggestions of Desdemona 's infidelity. However, by this time the characters are caught "in a net to enmesh them all." Playing the difficult role of Iago will be Jan Kubicki who last played King Pellinore in Camelot and directed the one-act play, Sorry, Wrong Number, in February. "The role of Iago," said Kubicki, "has been more challenging than all my other roles combined. The hardest scene to do is the one in which Iago cautiously suggests to Othello that Desdemona is being unfaithful to him. The results are far greater than even he had anticipated. The lengthy scene, the turning point of the play, is a fascinating psychological study of Iago and Othello, the end of which depicts the complete reversal of their psychological roles. The fascinating aspect of Iago is that he is not the typical villain. As he says at one point, 'I am what I am.' meaning that he puts on a good act in front of everyone, hiding from them the stark depths of his soul. .. Others in the cast are Edwin Manda as Othello; Darlene Van Meter as Desdemona; Jean Kardos as Emilia; Ted Levitsky as Cassio; Jim Gallagher as Roderigo; Gail Wallen as Bianca; Dennis English as Brabantio; Angelo Garofalo as Mantano; Roger Brewer as the Duke of Venice; Eliot Rosen baum as Lodovico; and Ed Liskey as Gratiana. ,T echnical director of the theater , Joan Tymchyshyn, will act as lighting director, assisted by David Frey.

Members of this committee are John Engle, Junius Society; Linda Hoffman, Women 's Chorus; Ed Pashinski, Collegians; Toni Supchak, TDR ; Joe Jerrytone, Biological Society; Ron Sampiero, !CG. Judy Simonson opened the meeting with a discussion of several of the committee's propositions, the most im, portant of which was th e idea that the Council could possibly schedule and sponsor at least one, and possibly more, big-name concerts during the academic year. Suggested dates for these concerts were Spring Weekend and Homecoming. A discussion of this proposition followed, centering mainly on the problem of financing the concert, and th e question of possible loss of money. Several solutions were suggested, the most feasible seeming to be a loan from Student Government for the initial treasury. Edward Pashinski, chairman of the Council, stressed the purpose and potential of the newly formed Council, pointing out its need, in addition to a Student Government. He stated that our present Student Government handles so many varied aspects of student life that it cannot possibly cover each aspect in the detail required for maximum efficiency. The purpose, therefore, of the Council would not be to substitute for Student Government b ut rather to supplement it. •John Engle brought up the sore need which the College has at present for some sort of tradition, something to become a part of the history of the College, to serve to attract the Alum- ni to a greater interest in th e school. A suggestion was offered that the Council could also plan and sponsor several barbecues during the year. with the first possible date being the first weekend of the semester. Although the work incurred by this type of endeavor is mammoth, with the cooperation of all the campus clubs, the task could be accomplished without too much difficulty. A dinner meeting is to be arranged with Dr. Farley and the special committee to discuss the power and plans of the Council. The next meeting of the Council of Club Presidents will be announced at a future date by means of letters in the various club mailboxes. Clubs are reminded that any club which fails to have a representative at more than one Council meeting per semester will lose its calendar dance date for the following year. Ne xt Tuesday, at 8 p.m., the third and last program in th is semester's art club film series will be shown; this program is being co-sponsored by the French department. The featured film, starring Jeann e Moreau and Oskar Werner, will be Francois Truffaut's Jules et Jim ( I 961) , a film as controversial as it is famous. D enounced by the " Legion of Decency ," it was lauded by the critic of th e Christian Science Monitor in these words: .. . . . a film whose subtlety of technique is matched by th e subtlety of feeling for a moral predicament that ex ten ds beyond personal confines and seems to include the confusion of its times ... (11he action of the film is set in the European intellectual-artistic milieu of the years 'before WW I to the rise of the Nazis.) Jules et Jim is a film praised extensively by both Pauline Kael and Time magazine. Time's critic wrote: "So spontaneous, si ncere , generous, naive, and natural that a spectator who sits down to watch it feeling old and dry will rise up feeling young and green ." Truffaut, th e originator of th e French " N ew Wave," is yet paradoxically the closest link with the classic Frenc h cinema of the I 930's. For sheer vitality of characters, beauty of landscapes, importance of subject, and evocation of period, all suffused with an extraordinary musical se tting, Jules et Jim can only be compared with R enoir 's pre-war masterpieces. What Truffaut set out to accomplish is best described by himself: "I wanted to realize a dream. Starting from the most scabrous si tuation there can be - two men and a woman living thei r whole lives together - to succeed in making a film of the purest love possible, thanks to th e innocen·c e of the three main characters, their moral integrity, their tenderness and above all their dec ency. The 'tone· of the film - which evokes the celebrated Design For Living of Ernst Lubitsch - will be the same as in The 400 Blows: a story told in halftones, sad in its outline but funny in detail. lf it succeeds it will be a hymn to love, but s till , a hymn to life." Two silent films will play with Jules et Jim. The longer of these stars Charli e Chaplin; the other portrays the somewhat accelerated execution of an artistic endeavor in "Chester Colson Hall " on campus. Barring unforeseen difficulti es, both films will be accom panied on the honky- tonk piano by a surprise guest.

More than ever, they aver, academic air is rife with the spirit of insurrection. Whether those gentlemen are right or wrong is ultimately a question to be dealt with by empiricism; the implications raised by those gentlemen, however, are not to be set aside as easily. For those gentlemen would have us believe that the spirit of revolution is a pernicious and disruptive force in the institution of education. On the contrary, an examination of the revolutionary spirit proves it to be a sine qua non of modern education. The revolutionary spirit is, in fact, vital to the continuance of any nation of free and intelligent people. Perhaps the repugnance with which revolution is regarded is due to its usual physical manifestations. Revolutions of a political sort have been and continue to be bloody, infamous things; and war, to be sure, is a hated thing in this, a land of peaceful farmen; a land opposed, in theory at least, to violence. But revolutions involve much more than the ball and musket; they have causes and results. In every conceivable instance, they arise from a people's perception of a better state of affairs and from the consequent striving to attain that better condition. It is inconceivable, at any rate, that the French Revolution was fought to promote squalor. Rather, it is more likely that the Revolution was fought, in part, to eliminate the squalor and to replace it with a better condition. This awareness of and a striving toward a better condition constitutes the real spirit of any revolution. Thought of in this way, it is patent that the revolutionary spirit and the spirit of education are congruent. For what is the splrit of education if not the struggle for an increasing awareness of all things; if not the battle against ignorance and the fight for intellectual freedom? Does not the educated man seek to become aware of inequity and, if finding it, to overcome it, to revolt against it, if you will? The compatability of the revolutionary spirit with the spirit of education grows more significant in our time, when revolutions are more likely to be fought with ideas rather than with swords. Only deprive a nation of its will to revolt_. and the stimulus that was education becomes for it a sedative of domestication. The cows will forever chew their cud, and the grass on the other side of the fence, alas!, will never come to their vision. And if we ourselves are not soon to turn into a nation of cattle, we must revive th~ Spirit of 1776 - the spirit of revolution. llt11cj 8cck ''Red hot'' item reviewed Editor's note: This review is being reprinted from the "Collegiate Compendium," It originally appeared in "The Minnesota Daily." The "in" book on campus is "Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung," th e bible of the Red Guard and the textbook of the cultural revolution in Communist China . !The book is selling very well, according to bookstores in the University area, although not as well as in some other parts of the country. On the East Coast it is " red hot." "Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung," a Bantam book that reprints the complete text o f the Englishtranslated edition publ ished in Peking, divides Mao"s thoughts into 33 separate areas. 1Some chapters have titles suc h as "Th e Correct Handling df Contradictions Among th e P eople," "Imperialism and All Reac tionaries are Paper Tigers," "Th e P eople's Army, " "Th e Mass Lin e," "Building Our C ountry Through Diligence and Frugality," "Self-reliance and Arduous Struggle," and others. Why the sudden popularity of "Quotations from Chairman Mao T setung"? The "Quotations" seem to be mostly a curiosity in th e United States, not a source o'f inspiration. Explaining the sudden popularity of the book, Professor David Co,'Jperman, chairman of the social science program, said that Mao's words are the "words of the devil" to Americans, NEITHER HEBE NOH THEHE "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

I just asked a few peace-hippies if they minded the fact that most of the money for thi s demonstration came from communists or communist front organizations. They sa id they didn 't mind communist sup port as long as it was not from the C.I.A. This left me somewhat confused until one of them explained that due to a complex metaphysical point (ma inly that even the C.I.A. wouldn't support them) the communists are the good guys and those who oppose them. like Hungarian Freedom Fighters, are the bad guys.

H e seems to have plenty of sheep to choose from . "This is Filstrip Drosophiliamelanogas ter sig ning off." something radically different and in teresting. Cooperman sees a certain "awe, fear , and titilation of danger" that induces Americans to peek through the veil of mystery. "Red China comes through as a country of mysterious power - an oriental juggernaut - and has displaced Russia as the arch-devil," he said. " Part of the book's popularity has to do with Mao's style of writing, .. Cooperman said. "Much of Mao 's writing is aphorisms," he said, with a "style that is archaic and intriguing," having th e same social function of urging on to new success and hard work as Benjamin Franklin 's "Poor Richard" sayings. The book, Cooperman said , has a " folkish quality" that appeals in its novelty to more sophisticated Am ericans. William Rogers , director of W arid Affairs C enter, said there is a "quite natural interest in a book that is the symbol of th e cultural revolution" in Red China. The book"s content is not important, Rogers sa id, but since it is important to understand th e Chinese mentality, "reading their best-seller is a good way of finding out about the Chinese mind." His tory Professor Craig Die trich found the interest in Mao·s thoughts " rather amusing," and said that except for the theory, th e quotations were some thing of a pep talk. "It is the 'Let's all swing together," haranguing sort of th ing. I assume that students are sophisticated about this ," he said. Dietrich said other better and more detailed sources of Communist thought were available for those that were really interested. !These are a few of the quotations from the book: Wh ere do th e corre·c t ideas co111e from? Do they drop from the skies? No. Are they innate in the mind? No. They come from so-cial practice, and from it alone; they come from three kinds of social practice, the struggl e and scientific experiment. Without a people's army the people have nothing. All reactionaries are paper tigers. In appearance the reactionaries are terrifying, but in reality they are riot so powerful. From a long-term point of view, it is not th e reactionaries but the people who are really powerful.

The meeting was filled with sadness since it gave a moment of respectful silence to the late Leo Mundy, former class member. Afterwards an innovation was added to the agenda. The executive council recognized certain members of its class for outstanding accomplishments which have brought status and prestige to both the class and the College. They were presented with certificates of merit, made of parchment paper, and signed by the president, secretary, and advisors of the class. The certificates read as follows : "Certificates of Merit, Wilkes College, Oass of 1969. In grateful appreciation the class of 1969 recognizes the '.>Utstanding accomplishments of (name) individual contribution to the stature of the class and of Wilkes College in the Area of (contribution)." Awards were presented in the following categories: football, soccer, highest grade average for both male and female, men's basketball, swimming, girls' basketball, wrestling, and chairmen of projects.

OPIUM LAND: OR, BANANA FIELDS FOREVER I Revolutionaries who are not nihilists ( there are a few; yes there are) generally have some recommendations or at least plans for that future messianic age corning when they overcome. (Enough of this introductory junk. Sorry about that last euphemism, but this is a Valley paper and not the East Village Other,) Anyway, some of us intrepid revolutionaries , knowing full well that Beacon recommendations are never put into effect ( yes, this is paranoia , and ft is called insight) decided to try again after seve ral of us got together in a suitable establishment. (Re: NEITHER HEJR'E NOR THERE Guide to Bars.) What follows are our recommendations for the 'best of all possible worlds. Ack! Ack We'd like to see the Administration owning Fokker tri-planes ( euphemisms again) to correct the parking problem for staff members. And we also feel that Student Government members ( this is called a revolution lead by the Establishment should be provided with anti-aircraft guns. Ack-Ack! The engineering club should be given the task of draining the Susquehanna river basin ( that solves the problem of what to do about Pringle after Kingston is saved) so that history or anthropology majors could be able to look for Indian arrowheads, nuclear or otherwise. We 're still hung up on the idea of having an oak tree in Conyngham yard since spring is now upon us ( twit, twit , the Commons is in 'bloom, daffodils are out, etc.) and most of us can ' t stand it without performing some druid rites. And we'd still like benches for the spectators. 53 Years If we can't have the tree, we would be satisfied with the translapidating of Stonehenge. The far-reaching benefits of such an undertaking stagger our souls. (We mean it would be beneficial to the College .) Art majors could scream about art for art's sa ke since someone from the department usually present in the Caf would point out Stonehenge as an example of artistic forms . Science majors could compile a new calendar after checking out the stars for 53 years. (It was, stupid, an observatory for the ancient Britons.) English majors could play early Celts and recite Celtic poems while some senior O,mmerce and Finance major wreathed in mistletoe and earning $8,000 next year would be sacrificed by a senior English major earning $5350 next year. Nothing here is implied - like jealousy. Fairly and squarely would lots be drawn for a C & F victim. ( Shades of Shirley Jackson and all that other esoteric stuff - sorry about the euphemisms again.) We'd be happy to see apples from Dr. Farley 's farm given to college dropouts who can't get jobs so that they could sell them on street corners or put them in TOR members' mouths. Finally, we 'd like to see THE underground film at the Center for the Petform ing Arts - "Birth ," made with a box camera . The House Committee on Un-American Activities charged recently that communists are the prinicipal organizing force behind extensive demonstrations which took place last week as a part of "Vietnam Week ." A Committee report, "Communist Origin and Manipulation of Vietnam Week, " stated that the aims of these demonstrations are to reverse the U.S. policy of resisting communism in Vietnam , to undermine the United States, to destroy any possibility of establishing a stable democratic government in Vietnam, and to promote a communist takeover there. The Committee named two groups as planners and organizers of the demonstrations - the Student Mobilization Committee and the Spring Mobilization Committee . It stated, "Communists are playing dominant roles" in both organizations. The student group , the Committee stated, grew out of a con'ference •in Chicago last December, called by Bettina Aptheker of the Communist Party's National Committee, to organize a nationwide student strike against the war in Vietnam. The two committees have joined forces to insure the success of their joint projects. Herbert Aptheker The Committee report identified topranking communists as being associated with the Chicago conference and the two committees spearheading the demonstrations. Among them are Herbert Aptheker, leading theoretician of the Communist Party; Mike Zagarell. the Party's national youth director; Arnold Johnson, the Party's public relations director; Bettina Aptheker, described by the Committee as the Party's " top youth agitator;" Carl Bloice, first publications director of the W.E. B. DuBois Club; Robert Heisler, former DuBois Clubs' National Commit teem,rn; and Albert Lime, chairman of the Northern California District of th e Communist Party - all members of the Communist Party's National Committee. Trotskyist communists, the Committee report stated, are also prominent in the organization of Vietnam Week. They include Fred Halstead, National Committeeman; Joel Britton, Chicago organizer; Jack Barnes, New York organizer of the Trotskyist communist organization, the Socialist Workers Party; and Lew Jones, 1966 National Chairman of the Trotskyist group, the Young Socialist Alliance. ,Prior to the actual start o>f Vietnam Week, representative Edwin E . Willis, chairman of HUAC, said evidence indicates that the organizers of Vietnam Week may succeed in thei r basic objective of staging the largest and most extensive demonstrations against the war in Vietnam . "We must keep in mind, however, that they originally hoped to turn out 500,000 people for their march in New York and the same number for their San Francisco march and demonstration - a total of one million people. But they did not get anything like this number. It was a communist failure in this respect, though they succeeded in providing a lot of grist for the world-wide communist propaganda mill. " Naturally this is disturbing. It is encouraging, however, to know that the great majority of students in this country did not have anything to do with Vietnam Week and counter dem onstrations were organized on some campuses." The Committee report went on to say : Global publicity was given to Vietnam Week demonstrations by communist propagandists in all parts of the world. This publicity has the effects of giving aid and comfort to the communists everywhere, particularly in Vietnam . Among non-communists, it tends to create the false impression that a truly large segment of the U .S . population is vehemently opposed to this country 's policy in Vietnam . U.S. leaders are faced with greater difficulties in convincing our allies of the correctness of this country's policy in Vietnam . IDC revamps structural basis To bring about increased organization and effectiveness of dormitory government and to meet and successfully cope with the particular needs and problems of dormitory students, the Inter-Dormitory Council last week voted to reorganize the present system of dormitory government. Wayne Yetter, president of !DC, and Bill Bush, aided by many others, prepared a list of recommendations which they felt will achieve a successful reorganization. The list was presented to the dormitories in a newsletter. New Structure Dormitory self-government will consist of individual administrative units within each dormitory. These administrative units will be selected by the students of the individual dormitories and will handle the particular needs and problems .o f that unit. A Men's Dormitory Council and a Women's Dormitory Council, consisting of the president of each dormitory or his chosen representative, will handle the problems and needs which are common to the men students and to the women students, respectively. The Inter-Dormitory Council will consist of chosen representatives from each male and female dormitory. The Council will handle the overall problems and needs of the students regardless of their sex or dormitory assignment. At each meeting o'f both of the above councils. there will be present two rep resentatives from the other council so that continual contact and communication between the two groups can be maintained. Also to be organized is a permanent committee consisting of faculty, administrative and other representatives. The purpose of the committee will be to deal with the particular needs of dormitory students at the College. to assist them in all ways possible, and to act as a channel of communication to the faculty and the Administration . This committee shall consist of two male faculty proctors, one dormitory house mother, one student proctor, the Assistant Dean of Men, the Assistant Dean of Women, and two members chosen to represent the teaching faculty. Th e committee will meet once a month and more often if it is considered necessary. The committee shall also meet once a month with representatives chosen from the Inter-Dormitory Council , the Men' s Dormitory Council, and the Women 's Dormitory Council to discuss and deal with mutual needs and problems that affect the resident students. It is also agreed that the above committee will recognize and adhere to the above channels of government and will not permit these orderly processes to be circumvented in any way. In presenting any complaint. problem or suggestion, the individual dormitory students shall follow these lines of communication . ·It is also suggested that the various dormitory councils arrange their individual meetings on a planned and patterned basis so that there is no overlapping of their meetings. Perhaps the men's and women's councils can meet during the first and third weeks of the month, with the Inter-Dormitory Council meeting during the second and fourth weeks.

The turnout surpassed previous years and was acclaimed a su·ccess by all who attended. Master of ceremonies. Jay Holliday, directed the night's activities while the contestants were judged by Mr. Edward Wallison, public relations director; Mr. Michael Stein of the art department; and Mr. Robert Goldenberg of the French department. The folk talent of Wilkes received the most enthusiastic reception and also captured all but one of the cash prizes. First place was voted unanimously to Lex Romane , a Wilkes :reshman who sang "'Jersey Thursday" and "Universal Soldier." Romane received a cash prize of $100. Both a group and a single act , also from the College, occupied second place and received prizes of $50 each . They were he Brandywine Trio who sang "Greenback Dollar" and "Yes, I See"; and Patricia Lewis who sang "Plaisir d' Amour" and "You're Gonna Need Somebody On Your Bond ." LEX ROMANE The judges voted to award third place to both a single act and a group. Sharing the spot were Clark Bromfield o'f the College, who sang "Ti! It's Time For You To Go" and "Because of Time " ; and Kelly and Kins of East Stroudsburg State College. The prize for third place was $25. Proceeds from the concert were turned over to the Wyoming Valley Heart Fund. College art lair plans under way ·Plans are now underway for the seventh annual Wilkes College Art Fair, to be held May 5 and 6 at Conyngham Annex. The purpose of the fair is to demonstrate to the College and to the surrounding communities by means of a two day exhibition, the accomplishments of the art students' creative work. This exhibit is under the direction of Mr. Anthony Evangelista, who will be assisted by Patricia Passer and Michael Grace, student co-chairmen. The committee members are: Michael Babuschak, Susan Baker, Becky Bannan , Janet Blair, Barbara Cywinski. Carol Drapiewski, Joe Janoski , Mary Ann Konczynski , Phyllis Lukas, Lee Namey, David Palmer, Charlene Ross, Wayne Sittner, Joe Stallone, and Sandra Walder. This year, something new has been added - the senior art majors will jury the show. The types of work acceptable are: all media of painting , drawings, graphics, jewelry, sculpture, and ceramics. Those entering must be art majors or enrolled in an art major course. The entries will be accepted in the Gallery in Conyngham Annex anytime during the day on May 1, May 2, and no later than 1 p.m. on May 3. Entry blanks are available in Conyngham Annex and in Barre Hall. rrosh and junior classes make plans The Freshman class held a meeting last Tuesday. Nominations were held for class officers for the 67-68 semester. The nominees are as follows: Zig Pines, Chuck Lengle, and Bernard Holleran , president; Paul Tweedy, Dave Roberts , and Johnyne Supulski, vi·ce-president; Paula Gilbert by acclamation, secretary; and Odey Raviv and Jay Goldstein, treasurer. Nominations for SG were held. The positions will be chosen among Catherine Eastman, Joe Thunnell, Dan Kopen, Mary Beth George, Nelson Rogers , Tom Jones , Sandy Kulick, Dave Lombardi, Mary Ann Polocko, and John Andrejko. {Continued from Page 3) IDC REVAMPS Committees JDC and each of the other dorm councils will frame its own general rules and procedures so that it can best handle its own particular responsibilities. It is suggested, however, that the IDC organize on the basis of certain standing committees chosen to handle the various functions traditional to that organization. Among these rommittees might be: Student Awards Committee, Special Events Committee, Student Voice Committee ( to handle general complaints, suggestions, etc.), Recreation Committee ( to handle all dormitory social and recreational programs, including intramurals), and a Mediation Committee ( to deal with disputes, etc., that might arise). Plans for the Cinderella Ball were discussed, as well as those for the establishing of a memorial fund for the class o'f 1970. Chuck Lengle presided. Lengle reported that the Folk Festival and Faculty Basketball Game were successes. Dr. Mizianty filled in for Dr. Reif as class advisor. Nominations for class offices were held by the junior class on Tuesday, April 18. Those nominated were: presiden't, Tom Giannini and Joe Kiefer; vice-president, Fran Olexy by acclamation; secretary, Hallie Raub and Alicia Ramsey ; treasurer, Basil Russin by acclamation; Student Government, Joe Gatto, Judy Simonson, Alice Fronduti , John Mahon, Sharon Daney, Dave Thomas, and Maureen Flanley. :::m□□□□□□□□□□ o□□□□□□□o□□ o□ o□oo□ o□□□□□□□ □□ □o □□□□□ □ Patronize Our Advertisers 0□□□□0□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ 0000000 □□0□□□□□ □0□□ □0□□□□ COLLEGE Friday, April 21, 1967 BEACON New behavioral knowledge lo solve freedom problems by Mr. Joseph Kanner The satisfaction df human needs cannot be achieved by control over our physical environment alone. It is a function, even more , of man's relationship to man. In fact , the advances of the physical sciences, which have placed in our hands the means for our own destruction , have made the prdblem of human behavior and human relationships the most pressing of all. It is not a prdblem which can be settled by a few wise men over a corr.ference table. Nor can the problem be evaded or postponed. It ·confronts us at a time when the ordinary citizen has achieved a power in society which makes any individual's behavior a matter of concern to all of us. We see this in international affairs, in politics, and in government. We see it in business and industry. We see it in crime and delinquency. We see it in the useless and senseless waste of human resources. We also speak of preventing war, of preventing crime and delinquency, of preventing hate and destruction. So we are planning better cities, better sewage disposal, better cars, and better pills. But how do we plan for better people? To plan is to control. To prevent is to control. Must our plans include the control of human behavior? -I'm sure we will tend to agree that the dangers inherent in the control of human behavior are very real. The possibility of the misuse of scientific knowledge must always be faced. But we cannot escape by denying the power of a science of behavior or attempting to arrest its development. It is no help to ding to familiar philosophies of human behavior simply because they are more re-assuring. although it is understandable in the light of our historical experience with a variety of ideologies and tyrannies masked with benevolence. If we cannot foresee all of the benefits and dangers, this is true df all science as well. The dire consequences of new techniques of control. the hidden menace in cultural design - these exist. But Man has got hims eH into some pretty fixes, and it is easy to believe that he will do so again. But there is a more optimistic possibility. The growth of the methods of science, now for the first time applied to human affairs, may mean a new and exciting phase of human life to which historical analogies will not apply and in which earlier politi'cal concepts and values will not be appropriate. If we are to use the knowledge that a science of behavfor is now making available with any hope of success, we must look at human nature as it is brought into focus through the methods of science, rather than as it has been presented to us in a series of historical accidents. H the advent of a powerful science of behavior causes trouble, it will not be because science itself is inimical to human welfare, but because older conceptions have not yielded easily or gracefolly. We can expect resistance to new techniques of control from those who have heavy investments in the old , but we have no reason to help them preserve a series of beliefs, con- &CARD MART 10 S.

All men control and are controlled. The question of government, in the broadest possible sense, is not how freedom is to be preserved, but what kinds of control are to be used and to what ends. Control must be analyzed and considered in its proper proportions and within new contexts. We need have no desire to develop new master-sla~e relationships or bend the will of tiie people to despotic rulers in new ways. These are the patterns of control more appropriate to a world without science. They may well be the first to go when the experimental analysis of behavior comes into its own in the design of social systems. Fear of control, often generalized beyond any warrant, has led to a misinterpretation of val.id practices and the blind rejection of intelligent planning for a future way of life. □□ 0□ 0□□□□ □ □□□00□□ 00 □□0□ 0000000 □□0 □0□□0□0 □□ 000□ 00 - Rent the "Most Popular" FORMAL OUTFIT Ribicoff and lax relief Senator Ribicoff pointed out that under his proposal over two-thirds of the benefits would go to families earning less than $10,000 a year. In a statement on the Senate floor, Senator Ribicoff said: "Now we must decide if, as a nation, we are to treat education costs as we do the interest on a home mortgage, or Rood damage, or health expenses. This proposal is for the average family in America. It is for the people who constitute the backbone of America - the blue-collar workers, the white-collar workers, the wage earners and salaried persons of the lower and middle income group who are strug gling to pay their bills, buy their homes, and educate their children. They work hard for their wages or salary and it is all taxable." In his bill introduced to the Senate, Ribicoff stated: "Tax relief is a logical method of providing financial assistance to college students. It supplements scholarships, which I have long supported, but does not replace them. As long as the law grants tax relief for medical and casualty expenses, families burdened with high college costs are entitled to similar relief, especially in view of the positive effect criminatory and is easily .cg.s of college education upon our country's culture and economy. It is a method of relief that is completely non-discriminatory and is easily administered without additional governmental expense.

The dual loss brought the Colonels' record to 2-3. Against Scranton, Bill Perrigo picked up three points while Carlyle Robinson garnered 2½ points. Dan Murray and Bob Ockenfuss each got ½ points. Agains t Susquehanna Perrigo again racked up three team points. Robinson took I ½ and Murray garnered ½ points. Scoring: !Perrigo (W) dfeated Karpovitch (Ser), 3-0, defeated MacCrish, 3-0. Dan Murray (W) lost to McNulty (Ser), 2½-½. lost to Rutishauser (Sus), 2½-½. Vinovroski (W) lost to Roman (Ser), 3-0, lost to Nelson (Sus), 3-0. Ockenfoss lost to Lawler (Ser), 3-0, lost to Runyan , (Sus), 2½-½. Brown (W) lost to Albright (Ser), 3-0, lost to Patterson (Sus), 3-0. Rdbinson (W) tied Lavelle (Ser), 1½-I ½, defeated Brown (Sus), 2½-½. Shown above is junior captian Tom Rokita who displays fine form despite team's loss to Lycoming. Yesterday, the Colonels traveled to Williamsport to take on Dickinson and Lycoming. Bardballers even record by splitting doubleheader ,With over one-fourth of the diamond season completed, the Wilkes base-ballers have posted a 3-3 log. the rally subsided. Carl Cook, Steve Kaska , and Pat Salantri all connected with two hits apiece for the Colonels. Last Thursday ,the Colonels traveled to Susquehanna and were tagged with an 8-2 loss. Although the Wilkes men outhit the Crusaders, 9-2, a wild IHth inning spelled th e difference. Behind 2-1 going into the fifth inning , Colonel starter Fred Bauer ran into a wild streak, giving up six runs before Saturday, the Colonels travelled to Williamsport and split a double-header with Lycoming College. Wilkes won the opener 6-0 on a brililan't twohit performance by infielder turn ed pitcher, John Ladomirak. Ladomirak gave up first and second inning singles in route to his first victory, complete game, and shutout of th e year. Pat Salantri gave the Colonels all the support they needed by getting two singles and driving in a pair of runs. In the vesper game , Wilkes hit rough sailing and was on the losing end of a 4-3 contest. Joe Zakowski, who went the entire route in the game, abso~bed his first loss of the season after gaining two consecutive victories. Pat Salantri and George Stultz had two sa'feties apiece for the Wilkesmen. o□□□ oooo □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□o□□ □□□□□□□ o□□□□o □ o o □□□□□□□□□□o □□□oo □□□□□□ o□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ □□□□□□□□□□ □□□□□ 0□00000 □□□□□□□□00□000 □□0□0□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ CHARMS - RINQS Shop at. ..

PHONE, 823-6177 WILKES-BARRE Friday, April 21, 1967 THE HIGH POST by Bob Thompson Early spring is the time for the classic pennant predict-ion. So, last week I asked coach Schmidt for his appraisal of the baseball team. Although not an optomistic sort, he did feel that the team would have a very good season. He feels it is the best team since he has 'been coach. It is loaded with talent; in fact the talent is too deep at every position. This showed to be true when John Stanley took over for starter Pete Patalak and is currently leading the team in hitting. Schmidt feels that the poor weather has hurt his team's early performances, especially in the pitching department which he considers his only problem area. He has only three starters, which does not allow for enough rest between games. Despite the bad weather and little practice, Schmidt feels that the team is still good this early in the season. Schmidt was impressed with how well the team works together and with their aggressiveness. They like to take advantage of the other team's mistakes. It is, I ·feel, the same sort of pride and aggressiveness that Schmidt i~stilled in his MAC Championship F. B. team. Again, he is blessed with the situation of having two seniors on the team. The real tests of the team will be the contests against Moravian, Upsala , AJbright, and Scranton, the teams which Schmidt considers the bes t in the league. Victories over them would surely point to an outstanding season. The first two losses were against teams whi'ch Schmidt considers on a par with WHkes. He attributed the losses to errors and wild pitching at crucial times. Both games could have been wins. The coach could point anyone out as outstanding - they are all good, but some of the leaders are (after six games): John Stanley batting, .500, Steve Koska, .400; Carl Cook, .347; Pat Salantri, .320; and Geaorge Stults, 316; Koska has two doubles while Salantri has two triples and four stolen bases. Cook and Stults each have five rbi. In the pitching department Joe Zakowski has been the workhouse, pitching 20 innings. He has struck out ten and has a 2-1 record. John Ladamerak has pitched 15 innings without giving an earned run . Despite only a 2-2 record after their first four games the Colonels batted .303 to their opponents' .138. After seeing the team in actfon , I have to agree with Coach Schmidt and predi-ct a winning season, perhaps the best in Wilkes history. Several weeks ago the National Basketball Committee of the United States and Canada, which regulates basketball in the United States banned th e dunk shot and -stalling in college and high school basketball. Their reasons for outlawing the dunk s•hot were: there is no defense against the shot; players injure themselves trying it; and break backboards and bend rims. The reasons for outlawing the stall are obvious boredom. The committee has always fought agains t the "big man ." First, the three second rule, then goal tending , then the widening of the foul and now no-dunking . Apparently the domination of UCLA and 7' 1" Lew Alcindor scared the Committee into feeling something must be done. They claim that there is no defense against the dunk shot. But someone like Akindor, who resorts to the shot in dutch situations is really not hampered. He· can reach so far above the rim as it is, that he merely needs to drop it in with a little less arm movement. The Committee claims there is no de'fense against the dunk S'hot, but how do you de.fend against a jump shot or a hook shot by a 7'1" giant? On the other hand , how do you score against him when in close to 'the basket? If you have no one to dunk it, th en don 't bother to shoot close to the basket (witness the NCAA playoffs.) I have no statistics at hand, but I have read conflicting stories. One claims few injuries; th e other a substantial number. One outstanding fact , however, is that many of th e injuries occur in warm-ups. This is related to the third complaint - breakage. Again most damage occurs in warm-ups, and it is usually done by the 6'2" to 6'5 " player who cannot execute a clean dunk shot. This is where the injury and damage occur. How many dunk shots have you see in a game? By whom? You probably will answer few (espe•c ially at Wilkes) and always by the big man who is positive he will make it. Sports Illustrated posed a solution, "Why don't they just outlaw warmups?" There have been many attempts at equalizing the big man, but the one that I fe el is the bes t is raising the rim to 12 feet. This would not eliminate the dunk shot all together. The dunk shot is the most exciting play in basketball and I don't think anyone will deny this. There is nothing like a stolen ball, a long pass, a clear path to the basket, and then a dunk shot. And besides, I've been wa'iting for Wilkes to get a player who can dunk the ball in a game, but now I guess I'll never see it. I am strongly against the rule against staUing . It definitely gives better teams an advantage. True, the Kill-the~ball tactics, which produce ·baseball-like scores are not fair or enjoyable, but that is not the area which the rule hurts. It is the last five minutes of a close game where the the leader chooses to slow down or freeze the ball. They played hard and good to be ahead and deserve a chance to preserve their victory as by some chance the w eaker team might be in the lead. Obviously, if they don 't freez e the ball, the other team will trample them. But now they will be forc ed to play or be faced with a technical foul. □□□□□□□□□□□□ o□□□ o□ o□□□o□o□□□□□□□□□□□□ □□□ o □ ooo□ o□o□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ o□ oo oo □ ooo□□o □□□□□□□o□□□o□o □ooo□ ooo □□ □□□□□□□□ ooo□ □□□□o□o□a □□□o□□ooooo □□o□□□□□□□□□ a□□□□□□□ What of the case where the team's star fouls out with a few minutes to go.

One final argument against the rule is that it throws anoth er burden on the officials. It is purely a judgment call since they must determine whether the team is making an attempt to advance the ball toward the basket or not. Also, they have something else to count. A team mus t advance the ball within ten se·c onds. :J'he 24 second clock might have saved pro ball, but I feel that the anti-stall rule will hurt college and high school basketball. The pros have the ability to sustain an offensive drive but college and high school teams don 't. ,My solution to the problem is that the rule be kept as it is, except in the last five minutes or so. This will stop the boring slow-down tactics 'but still leave those exciting last minutes. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Yet. when asked if the aged drama has any re levance for today's audi ence. director Al Groh counterquestioned, "Are lust, greed, sensuality, suspicion and intrigue Elizabethan v ices only?" Part of the cast from Othello rehearses in costume and on the set specially constructed for the College's production of the play. Evidencing the timelessness of the drama is the fact that the script required few a lterations aside from the updating of certain words to clarify their meanings. One o f th e impressive changes that Groh made comes in th e opening of the play. Th e College's production wi ll open with Othello 's lines from A ct 2 and then return to Act I and proceed with th e traditional seque nce. Groh sa id . "We mad e th e scr ipt change because we wanted to es tablish Othello's identity immediately. Th ese lines from Act 2 revealed the dim ension of th e th eme and the ext remes of Othello 's nature. " Granted the literal aspects of the play will remain unchanged for the most part, the staging of the play marks a new experience for both the play and the theater. Rath er than play Othello on a traditional Shakes pea rean stage - a stage with heavy furniture, requiring se t changes which interrupt the play - the College th ea ter will prese nt it in a modern concept of a Shakespearean stage. Only basic furnishings will be used: a chair here to suggest Othello 's s tudy , a dressing table there to suggest D esdemona 's bedroom . Three large sta tionary arches will sta nd far upstage. Three larger arc hes will sta nd parallel to the proscenium until th e play 'begins, when they will be raised. A sc rim in conjunction with th e larg er arches will be used to mark act breaks rather than the conventional curtains. The play is mounted this way to de- empha size time and geographic setting . Perhaps the most exciting innovation in th e play's se tting is the use of a raked platform to per mit the scenes to move quickly and easily from one to another. Th e raked platform - octagonal in shape, 18 feet across with a rake of two feet on the upstage side to one foot on the downstage - is for a ll practical purposes a semi-permanent stage. Platform en gineers Joe Kl~ban and Karl Knoeckl ein agreed that th e pla tform was a big project, so big tha t it had to be built in sec tions so it could be moved through th e shop door. Before working on the actual platform , Kl eba n and Knoeckl ein constructed a scale model o f th e stage, platform , and arches so that each dimension and angle would be precise. The platform . the stage, and the lowe red lift give th e pla yer several levels for the action. Lighting technician Joan Tymchy shyn said, "Because of the raked stage we'll have to use more delineated lighting. W e'll have to define with lights areas usually denoted by conventional sets. It should be very interesting." ,Maybe it's not the way Shakespeare imagined his Othello - with modern stag ing , basic settings. area lighting but th e old G lobe Th eate r never had it so good. Dances, funds discussed at pres. council Fifteen clubs were re presented at a re:ent meeting of th e Council of Club Presi dents. The purpose of the Council is to unite all of the College's clubs into a s trong and mutually beneficial group. It has also been pointed out that si milar groups have been very successful on other campuses. Donna Troiano of the engi neering club brought up the recent conflict of her dub's dance with the Junior-Senior Dinner Dance. Both were scheduled for th e sa me evening. It was suggested that the Council could possibly diminate similar conflicts that may arise in th e future. "Good rul es" for Friday night dances were also discussed. All clubs must hire a policeman for future dances and must have band contracts signed one week before the affai r. This inform ation must be submitted to SG on th e required activity forms. Joseph Jerrytone asked how a club, which is not on the SG allotment list, might get fund s for a worthwhile project. Judy Simonson, co-chairman of the Counci l, stated that such club should se nd a represe ntative to an SG meeti ng and req uest financial aid. Tom Engle asked about off-campus dances. Miss Simonson stressed that this is against Administrati.on policy, but that this is another area in which the Council could be influential. Engle also suggested that all clubs might unite through the Council and sponsor large concerts, dances, etc. The clubs could then split the profits evenly or proportionately according t.o the in vestment. 'Miss Simon on announced that she will propose to SG t hat the Council be " knitted" into SG. In this way it could become a stronger group a nd have a better dec iding position in deciding calendar dates. ,Jt was suggested that a special committee be set up to organize a list of futur e Council activities. One such activity might be the establishm ent of a rescue fond -to aid clu'bs having financial difficulti es. Committee members are Tom Engle, Ron Sampiero, Joe Jer rytone, Toni Supcha k, Ed Pashins ki, Linda H offman , a nd Judy Simonson. The Council will meet on Tuesday nights. 'Vhese meetings will be used to discuss club prob lems a nd to announce club events. Lette rs, announcing the next meeting, will be sent to club presidents. BEACON TBE VOL.

WE WANT BLOOD AND NINETEEN-YEAR-OLDS see editorials p. 2 �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Let's hear it for the nineteen year olds Since the announcement of President Johnson's proposal that 19-year-olds, rather than older men in the 19-26 age bracket, be drafted into the armed services, there has been, according to news articles, quite a hue and cry raised against the plan. Most of the dissent comes, understandably, from mothers who feel that their sons of nineteen have not yet enjoyed enough of life and are, therefore, too young to risk death in the jungles of Vietnam. (There are men of that age taking that chance right now, but better it should be them than my little Iggy.) The latter fear, of course, points out that most or all of the dissent is aroused by the country's present unofficial state of war. Just as there are wars, however, there are times of peace, and we must consider the President's proposal with that thought in mind. As you may suspect, we are in favor of drafting nineteenyear-olds. No, not because we are twenty-one and have not yet served our stint in the armed forces, but because we feel that it has definite advantages for the young men of America, especially with respect to their plans for the future. · Two years in the military service, or in some form of domestic service for those who are physically unfit or for those who cannot be absorbed into the military because of the tremendous size of the available manpower as that age population increases in rapid strides ( the draft can never be fair in this respect), well anyway, two years in some form of service, we feel, allows a young man time to find himself, so to speak, and to think about his future by exposing him to many real life situations and giving him time to read and explore what interests him. To us this is more beneficial than passing from the rarified atmosphere of high school directly into the more rarefied atmosphere of college. In the latter case, the student is in most instances not sure of exactly what he wants in life and often spends and wastes time flitting from one major to another seeking an answer to his dilemma. Having had two years away from the books and time to think, the student then approaching college is more likely to do so with a definite idea of what he wants out of an education and can set out to accomplish his task. It is said that two years spent in the military immediately after high school may discourage young men from entering college later. To this we say plain old crap! If an individual wants a college education, he will acquire it. Two years is not a really long deprivation time, and it is two years which must be accounted for sooner or later. If working adults can acquire a college education by attending evening college, there is no reason why the mind of a twenty-one or twenty-two year old man should be stymied or deadened to learning after only two years away from the books. Perhaps those who are discouraged from entering college after their military stint never really had a burning desire for a college education in the first place. If such is the case, the President's proposal will rid the colleges of their burden of draft dodgers and perhaps, even the hangers-on, status-seekers and those here mainly for guaranteed job opportunities. Perhaps the colleges can then be returned to the knowledge seekers. Having completed his military obligation prior to entering college, the graduate can then begin his career immediately after graduation rather than postponing it to enter the armed forces or living without knowing whether or not he will be inducted into the army. There are, of course, many if's, and's and hut's to the question at hand. Space limitations, however, prevent more discussion of qualifications. Give Blood It is generally agreed that three reasons exist for being a nondonor in the blood drive: Medical reasons - few. True, the College does have people who are anemics or hemophiliacs or who have various other legitimate excuses for not becoming a donor. Fear - some. Granted, the fear is there. It is real. But, is there an effort to overcome it? Apathy - overwhelming. The apathetic person will give of his wallet if the matter concerns his well-being or pleasure; however, when asked to give of himself, the response is strikingly different. The Red Cross Bloodmobile will be at the gym on W ednesday from 9:45 a.m. to 3:45 p .m. for the semi-annual Wilkes College blood drive. Each student has received a pledge form which should be deposited in the container at the Bookstore, and a parental release to be used if the would-be donor is over 18 but under 21. This must be signed by a parent or guardian and brought to the gym on the day of the drive. Extra parental release forms are available at the Bookstore. The Red Cross asks each would-be donor to eat breakfast on the day of the drive, not just coffee or tea, but a complete breakfast . Although the College has nearly 2000 students, the blood drive that took place in the fall was able to obtain only 308 pints of blood. Please make an effort to insure the success of the forthcoming drive. WILK ■ S COLL ■ OE BEACON Editor-in-Chief ................ Barbara Simms News Editor ................

JRC Friday, April 14, 196/ ?c1-u,n Chinese past rundown; ITIOre will COITle later by John T. Engle F or China, the dawning o f the 20th cen tury ended her 3000 year reign as the center of th e world , Western expansion, begun in the 17th century , became the seedbed for future communism, and the closing of the Open Doors" of China to the West in the present century. The Cultural Revolution now occurring in China is a direct result of 300 years of diplomacy by the western nations, including the United States, and will ultim ately affect the outcome of th e Vietnamese conflict. In 1839, Great Britain became the first nation to open the door " of Ch ina. China , lacking any conception as to what they were up against during the Opium skirmis hes, failed to resist, believing instead that their superior civilization would rub off on England and that country would realize its mistake, apologize, return the ca ptured ports, pack up and leave China forever. This passivism was interpreted in the West as being borne from a weak nation, and, therefore, by 1842, the policy of Spheres of Influenc e came into being. In 1900, when it became evident that th e United States was losi ng the battle of economic expansion in the Far East, Secretary of State John Hay forced the recognition of the Open Door Policy. China·s answer to this policy was: W ho opened the door anyway?" Th e Chinese response to Wes tern aggression took th e form of five major s teps between the years of 1850 and I 949. Th e first of t hese was the T'ai P 'ing Rebellion, 1850-1868, in which 20 million peasants died. This revolt against the Manchu Dynasty originated iq agrarian unrest, natural calamities, absentee 1andlordism, ·and nationalism. It failed largely because th e rebels failed to provide conquered 00 00 00 territory w ith either protection or constructive administration. Th e second major response to Western aggression took the form of the Boxer Rebellion. Again, China believed the West could be repulsed through ideology and again , she lost more territory. However, after 1900, intellectual ferment for the challenge against th e West led to the third step: the Self-St reng th ening Movement. fo 1908, the United States returned one-half of the indemnity China paid this country after the Boxer Rebellion. This I 8 million dollars provided 1100 Chinese studen ts an opportunity to learn from the West, in order that China could repulse the West at a later date. In addition , Sun-Yat-sen, who had earned a medical degree at the age of 24 and was not permitted to practice in China, became the leader of the revolutionary movement against th e Manchu D ynasty. T •he success of the Russian revolution of 1917 convinced him of the need for Russian support to overthrow the decadent government of Ch ina. In 1919, SunYat-sen journeyed to Mos·c ow for talks with Lenin. The latter suggested, and Sun-Yat-sen accepted, the help of Michael Boridine, a communist, to lead China to a strong National State. With Lenin's death in 1924, communism could not be established in China for lack of a strong leader. In 1925, Sun-Yat-sen di ed without seeing hi s dreams of a strong China realized. The fourth major step in China 's response against the West brought Ch iang Kai-shek, who trained in a Russian military sc hool , to power, and opened the Nationalist Period. In 1927, Chiang beat th e Communists to a purge and pushed them into th e Kiangsi caves. However, in I 931, Japan seized Manchuria , end ing seven years of unmoles tation of China by foreign powers. This new aggression forced the Nationalists to move agains: Japan while the Communists, under Mao Tse-tung, moved into the open country and organized the landless peasants on a model of Soviet Russia. Between 1931 -1941. Chiang fought against th e Japanese alone, and the Communists rebuilt their strength and power. Th e United States declaration of war against Japan in I 941 offered some help to the Nat ionalists, but by 1946 Ch iang's forces were worn out while Mao·s were fresh from no fighting. The United States sent both Patrick Hurley and General George Marshall to China , fearing an outbreak of fighting ," but both failed ( 1946-4 7) and Mao gained the upper hand by 1948. Ch iang retreated with his followers to the island of Formosa. 00 Communism under Mao Tse-tung is th e last major Chinese step against the aggress ion of the West. It is to be emphasized that the over-riding purpose of China through all five steps was the removal of the West and the restriction of "China for the Chinese." Between 1950- 1960, China was allied with the U .S.S.R. against the West; but, by 1960. the West was removed and China remembered t he plunders of Czarist Russia on China from 1860 to 1917. To complete th e overthrow of th e West, China had to make a choice between adopting their own atomic power to defeat the West. as against th e Russian policy of P eaceful Coexis tence , or depend upon Russia for its weaponry. China chose to gamble and develop its own atomic power, leading to the break in the ChinaSoviet Alliance in I 960. In I 964 , China ex ploded its first atomic bomb and by I 967, th e communist split was beyond repair.

Honor lies in honest toil. - McDonald's Grover Cleveland San Souci Highway by Roman Tymchyshyn Though the film would appear to be the only specifically modern medium in art, and thus of some consequence, it is widely disregarded and misunderstood. Too many otherwise well -informed and sensitive people see it as a mere reproductive medium, translating novels, plays and what have you, into another, and more "vulgar" form. In this field all too many people are analphabeti'c, or rather " aniconic. " For the film is a medium sui generis. As the late Maya Deren, America's greatest woman film maker , has put it, " the film , structured to deal expressly in movement and time-space relationshi-ps. is the most propitious and appropriate art form for expressing, in terms of its own paradoxi·c ally intangible reality, the moral and metaphysical concepts of the citizen of this new age." The significant film thus has as much, if not more, right to our attention as any other mode of reflection on human experience. But unlike a good book, which ·c an be had at any good library or shop, the significant film is a commodity hard to come by. •It was with this situation in mind that a new film series was recently started here in the interest of the college community. The ·first two programs, both of whi·c h were very well attended, have already taken place. They featured that touchstone of the classic film , Eisenstein"s Potemkin, and several short films by Bruce Baillie, one of America 's best young filmmakers and pastoral poets. The ne-w series, which emphasizes the auteur cinema, that is, films made by men and not by committee, has been organized by the art club. The latter's lider maximo, Joseph Stallone, had the cooperation of Michael Stein and Roman Tymchyshyn of the department o'f fine arts; and the help , financial and otherwise, of the students df the College, through their elected representatives, particularly Matt Fliss, SG president; and of Robert Goldenberg of the French department; of Dr. Holden of the physics department; and of Dr. Kerr; of Alfred Groh, director of the Center for the Performing Arts; and of Karl Knoecklein, the producer of the "light shows" that were a part of the first two programs.

Barring unforeseen difficul ties, a surprise guest performer will accompany Chaplin on the honky-tonk piano. The featured film of the third and last program this semester will be Jules and Jim, by Francois Truffaut, France's leading young auteur, who also directed The 400 Blows, Shoot the Piano Player, etc. This award-win ning film , starring Jeanne Moreau and Oskar Werner, was praised to the skies by Time magazine and Pauline Kael alike (!). :The art club hopes to organize a "bigger and better" film series next semester. The organizers hope that it will be possible to coordinate these programs, in one way or another, with the three already existing, but somewhat differently oriented, local film series, sponsored by St. Stephen 's Coffeehouse, the Manuscript Society and King's College. The art club series will again feature selections from the great classics, films by Eisenstein, Renoir, Vigo, etc. ; films by newer European auteurs; and a pick of the so-called "" underground cinema"" of America 's new experimentalists. Definitely slated to be shown are: the eyeopening, surrealist tragic farce , An Andalusian Dog, by Salvador Dali and Luis Bunuel (director of Viridiana, etc.) ; and Oh Dem Watermelons, by the West Coast's Robert N elson , a film that is best described as a riot.

Valley in danger ol invasion by interplanetary hoagie anan It has been discovered that the leader of th e notoriou s Invaders from the 5th dimensional planet Bladzuk ·has set up residence in Wilkes-Barre and is living und er the alias of the timid Hoagie Man . He was discovered one day while leaving his Hoagie Cave, which is located in the rea r of a strip mine that he bought at a discount because the realtors thought he was Irish and hold him it was the Brooklyn Bridge, in his Hoagie Mobile shaped like an Italian roll. His space ship, which doubl es as a head of lettuce when not in use , is kept concealed at th e Forty-Fort Airport. Above pictured is the Hoagie Man, invader from the planet Bladzuk, attired in one of his many clever disguises. to th e tun e of the Stegmaier Ba nd playing "'Onward Christian Soldiers,.. he feel s it will be less conspicuous if his s taff o f In vaders disguise t hemselves as the Ukranian National Soccer T eam out for a spring practice and boot th e dormi es along th e dike to the Courthouse where th e space ship, di sguised as the dome, will be waiting to whisk th em off to the planet. When asked why he chose dorm students the Hoagie Man replied that they seemed to be the stupidest single group he ha s seen and therefore easily trained . He feels than anyone who would voluntarily come from another city to spend nine months of a year in the Valley has to be dumb . In a spec ial intervi ew, the Hoagie Man, whose real name is Hoagilus Manus, sa id the hardes t custom he had to adapt to was ringing th e doorbells o f the women 's dorms - thi s was espec ially difficult because Bladzukians have no fing ers and it was hard to grow them for this earth venture. But with the great knowl edg~ the sc ientis ts of Bladzuk possess, they were able to duplicate th e human anatomy. Of course there was a customs barrier to overcome, but th ere is a spec ial training school se t up in West Pittston with ex tensions in Moosic, W est Nanticoke, Dunmore, A shley, and Percy Brown 's Cafeteria . At this school, set up for th e tr,a ining of new arrivals from space, courses are given in Upper Valley English, G etting Along with Your Local Government, How to Fake Miner's As thma and Beat the Draft, Saying th e Rosa ry in Polish, How to Mr. Rifle. one of his professors, says that he"ll "'miss " Johnson , that he was a good s:u dent ··. . . exce pt for his annoy ing habit o f grinding out butts on th e tile floors ...

Those who pass th e courses successively graduate with a M .V . deg ree -Master oJ Valley isms. They are then given a min er's cap, wad of toba cco and set of dirty clothes and sent to Public Square to mix with th e city "s elite. This massive tra ining program , which takes about 36 hours to mas ter, has proven almost completely successful. Th e only defect in the training is a slight accent which the trainees find hard to lose. It is sa id to sound somewhat lik e a cross between Southern Lithuania and Upper Nanticoke and therefore hardly noticeable. When asked why they chose the Valley as their place of infiltration , th e Hoagie Man said it was due to th e fertil e minds of the inhabitants and th e conditions conducive to learni ng in the Valley. Wh en asked to ex plain what he meant by "'conditio ns conducive to lea rning, " the Hoagie Man replied that on th ei r planet studies have shown that people learn best in a cold , dark , damp atmosphere, espec ially wi th snow or ra in on the ground. Th e local police have been notified about th e danger of th e Invaders but are too busy trying to hold back the waters of the ris ing Susquehanna to help . If anyone knows where David V incen t can be reach ed pl ease no tify thi s paper. We hereby dedicate this issue of the BEACON (alias SHRIKE) to Dr. Eugene S. Farley, president of the College, for his unending aid in our intellectual development. Johnson N . Johnson, presi dent of th e U .F .O . Club, announced today that he w ill resign his post as president of the Wilkes College chapter in favor of a pos t as science editor of the WilkesBarre Evening Record. He is replacing Jules Icebergma n who ha s gone to Washington to meet hi s ma ker. One reason for Jo hn son 's leavi ng was hi s report s tating that he was being followed by s trange lights on Campus. Asked if he ha s see n an eye. doctor , he replied, "No , just stra ng e lights." H e also reported hearing these lights saying something about "an eyeb all to eyeba ll talk." But the remainder was incoherent. In hi s new job, Mr. Johnson ma y be seen high atop the newspa per office building, searc hing for unidentifi ed flying objects, from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. dail y. Previously Mr. Johnson"s noc- This s hy , retiring man, with a H erculean physique hidden under a tattered swea ter, did not intend to don the disguise of a mere Hoagie Man, but when the Times-Leader refused to give him a jdb as a mild-mannered reporter because he wasn't Polish and re fu sed to join the U .M .W. , h e decided to reach th e people of the valley through its natural resource second in quantity only to coal - its college stud ents. Memorial services held tor dissatisfied teachers Second in command to this fearl ess Man of Salami is Mr. Softee who was se nt down some years <ago to scout fo r the In vaders. It is said that his bells have an evil effec t on the brains of the studen ts. They are sending out a coded message and supposedl y, when Mr. Softee changes his tune , all the students will revolt against th e Wilkes-Barre government and the Hoag ie Man will esta blish himself as the new city manager. Hopefully , this coup will take place before the November elec tion. Hi s council will consist of Mr. Softee. the Planter "s Pea nut man , Lawrenc e Welk, a junior on Student Government at King "s, and the Associate Editor of The Crown. Wh en Shrike reporters approached the dissenters, they were welcomed with open birds because these no-longer faculty members see the Shrike group as the only part of th e s tudent body alive on campus. When one of the reporters asked a handsome ra ven-haired tousled prof, who had on snea kers and bermudas, to enlighten for sooth, he enlightened. It seems that the main reason for the s trike lin e is that these new pickets feel th ey must protes t. first , the anti-intellec tual attitude a f th e student body. and second . low sa laries for professors. Reliabl e sources have revealed th e Hoa gie Man "s long range plans for the dorm students. He is inse rting, in hi s hoagies, a chemical called Zuunium , which will even tually change the dorm s tud ents into th e shapes of rubber balls.

All pi ckets have res igned their positions at th e College. Wondering whether the strike would be shocking to the academic community as the St. John 's strike, Shrike reporters at first thought it was merely a sto rm in a sa uce pan si nce no Jesuits were involved. However, when they noticed Chet Huntley ( who is a newsman first , and not at all a juggler, etc .) they began to get a sense of the im por~ance of the situation . Huntley shoved our reporters aside and began questioning the raven-haired prof. One of the newspaper's reporters managed to stick a head between his legs and was able to hea r with his ear to th e In loving memory of the brave and valiant picketers, members of the College faculty, who dared to strain the confines of propriety to defend their unintelligible rights. ground all comm ents being disseminated. The prof, very excitedly , condemned all Englis h majors, art majors, language majors, as being unabl e to appreciate the Palace of Art , i.e. the intellectual presence of th e most brilliant minds at the College. He could not be bothered to discuss sc ience or commerce and finance majors si nce he felt they should no t belong in a college in the first place. It seemed th e raven-haired prof felt that such people can never become what the old Card- inal called educated men, co ntrary to what the C oll ege 's Bulletin hopes for. A s far as salari es were conc ern ed , th e prof in qu estion became a littl e emba rrassed when these were mentioned by Huntl ey . Like a ll other academicians dedicatd to learn ing , he also became qu easy when money was mentioned in th e nex t breath after education . He simply ex plaine d that higher salaries would mea n more good parties wh ere intell ectual discussions could occur. Committee announces changes The College"s Curriculum Committee has finally announced that several new courses will be offered during th e coming fall semester. Those in the liberal arts will be: bell casting 239 ( this course, unlike jewelry , will be for art majors only) ; English 269, or com parative study o f Barbara Garson a nd William Shakespea re; hi story I 76, or the influence of Ming vases on Am erica 's open door policy to China . Art s tudents are urged to sign up for t his. Those in th e sc iences will be: biology 308, or algae cultivation; and phys ics 413 , or how much work is accomplished when nitroglycerin explodes? The C ommittee refused to approve requests for courses C ervantes, ancient Greek li terature a nd a statistics course for psyc hology majors. In a sta tement ex plaining their refusal , the Com mittee sa id , "' Requ es ts for such courses do not comply with the educational philosophy of t his college." NOTICE V erna Brodnec k, chairman of CIG Incorpora ted , was recently nominated national chairman of NATCIG for her sta unch insistence upon th e installation d f the new candy-striped o ral gratification quarter-weed exc hanger rece ntl y put in th e Commons. Incidentall y , V e rna is an "Tll ea t my hat " girl. Th e interview was interrupted when Administration officials came out from Chase and W eckesser (a two front attack). So startled were th e pickets by seeing these figur es coming dow n from Mount Horeb, that they were blinded and could no long er see where they were marching. Gently led by the officials from Chase and Weck esse r, they mistakenly marched toward th e river commons, down the dike and into the gently flowi ng stream simpering past Wilkes-Barre. And they went down, after circling the prickly pear. not with a bang but a whimper. Memorial serv ices for these sixtynin e vali a nt educators will be held at the next assembly. Students active in drama and musical circles will give appropriate readings ( "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard " is rumored to be one) a nd appropriate dirge -lik e pi eces (Lizst's "Les Preludes") will be prese nted. All s tudents not attending this assembly will be made to ta ke over positions now vacated by th ese now deceased professors. �Page 2 WILKES Fecal Waste and Its Contributor It is with deepest regret that the SHRIKE announces its intention to give away its mascot, the shrike. Since no buyers materialized after the for sale ad was placed in the Audohon Society's magazine, the SHRIKE feels that perhaps some students at the College might want to accept the bird free of charge. For those interested, a description of the bird's past history follows: Our shrike is a healthy, black and white omnivore, passed through several hands before it reached those of Baron Cole. Our information on Baron Cole is rather sketchy, but we do know that he was asked to he an advisor to a small socialistic group on the east border of Estonia, where a revolution to abolish oligarchic rule took place. The baron was a natural candidate ~or the position since he had, first of all, never seen the country in question and could not speak its language; and secondly, he had much experience managing the lives of people who had worked in his mines. And our shrike. since he comes from a long line of parrots, quickly learned enough East Estonian words to assist the baron in the dictating of small governmental concerns such as sanitation and health. The bird was then presented by the baron to the United States in return for economic aid. The government then bestowed it on a wealthy family in Wyoming Valley where it has, from time to time, served in an advisory capacity to various cities such as Wilkes-Barre, where it has been influential in sanitation and anti-pollution legislation. Then in 1947, the College acquired the bird by means of a last will and testament. The bird was promptly donated to the SHRIKE where it has remained until the present time. We want to point out (gesture, stupid) that the bird is wellmannered and in good condition. Unfortunately, however, the shrike cannot fly. We have found that its wings are too weak, and we believe that this is a result of their not being used during the bird's early years. (He spent them in a cage.) But when our office received the bird, we allowed it the freedom of the room. Consequently, the shrike has had an impulse to flap its wings. Because of the old bird's terrestial life, however, and because birds will be birds, our office has been quickly cluttered with fecal waste to such an extent that we have had two falling accidents within the past month. And after much deliberation, we feel that the shrike deserves a better home than we can give it. We therefore ask those wishing to have our bird to come to the office between eight and five any weekday or phone us collect. We will pay all handling and shipping fees for delivery to any port of the world. Our only desire is to give our readers the bird. WHO CARES WHAT?

Tourn ey, los t hi s first bout 8- 1 to Actors discuss Othello by Sheryl Napoleon I admire Desdamona for th e way in This spring t,he Wilkes College T 1heatre will bring a breath of that very thing to the campus in the guise of Shakespeare's Othello. Cue 'n Curtain 's last Shakespearean dffering was its 1949 repertory presentation of Taming of the Shrew, Macbeth and Twelfth Night. Al Groh, director of this season 's Othello, served as assistant director for the repertory production . In answer to the query, why OTHELLO?, Mr. Gi:oh said: '1 chose OTHELLO because it is one of the most tightly written and one of the most directly written of Shakespeare's plays. I am also fascinated by the play's action, action which depends not so much on physical movement as it does on psychological Bux." The fact thalt the play itseH is so dependent on the psy·chological state o·f t,he characters' min•ds, and the fact that a worthy performance is dependent upon the actors' ability to portray these various men·tal condit ions makes Othello a challenging play to tackle. P erhaps the most difficult scene for the players and the director is the bedroom scene in w hich Ot'hello, normally a man of integrity, intelligence and complete self-mastery, snuffs out the light of his life, D esdamona, because he believes that she has been unfaithful. Groh has s•a id that this scene is particularly difficult because " we want to make Othello plausible. We don · t want the deed to be a violent. premeditated one. " Edwin Manda, who plays this deep and prdba'ble character, finds the rol e of Othello to be his most interesting. While he is a novice to t'he Shakespearean stage, he is no newcomer to the College stage. H e lras appeared in The Death of Bessie Smith, The Mad Woman of Chaillot, and, earlier this season, in Camelot. •M anda also rates t'he death scene among the most difficuJ.t to por,tray . beth and Cordelia of King Lear. She feels that these characters are among the great because of the variety of emotions w hich Shakespeare allows them to experience. Mrs. Van Meter sees Desdamona as a woman with "intrinsic love for Othello, for she is able to submit to his will and to his every wish, and even in his mf.)St violent moments she never rebels against him." which she handles th is accusation. An accusation of this sort would cause me , as a person, to have ill feelings toward my husband. But D esdamona never waivers; she has a pure , unadu lterated love for Othello in spite of eve rything." As did Manda and Groh, Mrs. Van Meter likewise picked the dea~h scene as one of the most difficult. " Each time Othello accuses me, I want to defend myself. " D esdamona's submission and her inability to beli eve or understand the situation provide Mrs. Van Meter with excellent opportunities for s trict characte rization. She added, "As a human being , I know that I would discern what Othello means more quickly than does Desdamona . After such an accusation I would not say as D esdamona does , 'Alas, my lord, what do you mean?' I wou ld know w hat he meant." Evening performances of "Othello" will be given on April 21, 22 and 23 .at 8:30 p.m. There _will be a matinee at 2:30 p.m. on April 23. Any Wilkes student may obtain his free ticket for any of the performances by presenting his identification card at the box office of the Center for the Performing Arts, Monday through Friday from 11 a.me to 5 p.m. Mrs. Darlene Van Meter, a newcomer to both the Shakespearean and the College stages, ranks D esdamona, the Gharacter whom she portrays, w ith Shakespeare's best female creations, some of the others being Lady Mac- ·'Th e fact that I am a married woman in reality has helped me greatly in understanding Desdamon"a ," adds Mrs. Van Meter.

SG slates COLLEGE BEACON Dear Edi't or: Recently, the Beacon •a nnounced in big headlines that the NCAA Tourney was a success. J"m sorry to say that I can hardly agree. As a student from Wilkes I was ashamed and embarrassed ·at th e way the tournament was run. Worst of all, perhaps, was the inept way 1the scores of the matches were kept. The wrestlers got far from a fair shake from Wilkes. The Administration, or whoever was in charge of recruiting scorekeepers, could at least have en'lis ted men who show some interest in sports. This, of course, does not apply to all of the scorers - but the bad ones really stood out. For ins tance , one de-fending ·c hampion may have lost a semi-final bout because the scorekeepers were not paying attention! W ·hen the bell signalling the end of the match was rung, the scorers and the referee deliberated for about five minutes and finally decided that the bout was, in fact, not over yet; plus, th e defending ohamp probably got robbed of points for riding time. One person, by far the worst of the group. whose duty it was to flip the cards indicating t·he points eac h wrestler had obtained, was constan't ly watching th e match on the next mat and ,1.Jmost never never saw the referee's indication of points to be awarded . Someone else had to tell him to flip the cards, or the re'feree would have to stop fhe match 'to wake 'the scorer out of his daydreams , and sometimes the cards just didn \t get flipped . Couldn't the Administration have chosen teachers w'ho have at least appeared at the wrestling meets and who knew a littl e about this sport? This particular scorer couldn 't have cared what was going on. Next, I might mention th e sextet of lovelies in evening gowns in the gym. How corny! Also, I was recently informed that Wilkes graciously furnished a steak breakfast for the wrestlers at the low, low cost of $3.00! Tha't is an outr-age. Did the Administration forget that the wrestlers are only college students and t ha t many of the teams had undertaken a long, expensive trips? The unkindest cut of all was that our own wrestlers, who are so dedicated and who work so hard and who bring so much glory to Wilkes a lso had to pay the $3.00. Why does Wilkes have to do things third class? A Concerned Student Bull to deliver scientific lecture On Monday at 8 p.m. in Stark 109, Dr. Colin Bull, director of the Institute of Polar Studies at Ohio State University will deliver a public lecture entitled ""Earth Science Investigations in Antarctica in the Last D ecade."

Delegation participates in convention Thirty delegates from the College 's ch'a pter of th e Intercoll egiate Conference on Government are at'tending the annual !CG state convention this weekend in Harrisburg. The purpose of this trip, according to Myrna Lou Brodbeck, chairman of !CG at the College a nd Regional Director for the Northeast Region for 1967-68, is to acqu'a int students with the function of the government and to provide them with a direct opportunity for involvement in governmental procedure. The trip itinerary will include a general assembly held at the Edu·c ational Forum on Capitol Hill. Governor Sha.fer, the mayor of Harrisburg , and Democratic and Repub'l ican sp eakers will deliver lectures to the students. Committee meetings will be held a ll day Friday . The entire delegation will divide into nine committees and attempt to pass proposals which have been formulated throughout the year at th e va riou s colleges represented. An election will a lso be held for the offices of speaker and clerk. Northeast region nominees for these offices are John Moses , King 's College, and Sue Levine, East Stroudsburg State College, respectively. On the following day at 11 a.m, in Stark 116, Dr, Bull will address the science majors with a topic entitled "Simple (but unsolved) Physics Problems in Glaciated Areas." With respect to the latter lecture, Dr. Bull has sta'ted, " In the last few years we have unearthed lots of problems that look as though they need only an und~rstanding of elementary physics. These include non-convecting, ice-covered lakes in which the temperature at bottom is 37 degrees cen ti grade, and landslides in whic h boul ders weighing hundreds of tons have travelled great distances on an air cushion , and peculiar gas-fill ed cavities under cold, nearly stagnant glaciers." Both lectures will be illustrated by 2" x 2" slides.

We feel that you have very littl e chance of doing this because of the weak opposition that ha s been scheduled for you in t he coming season. You must play (and beat) strong teams (not ones of high s·chool calibre) to have any ch·a nce o f being chosen . To do this, you will face much opposition from your Administration. They have refused to place East Stroudsburg State College on their 1967 schedule ( because of some horse and buggy poli•c y.) Now that we have faced each other in basketball and wrestling ( you know what happened there) we think that you should schedu le us for your football game. (Every year, not every other year.) Show that you have some voice in what your football team does, by scheduling East Stroudsburg State College for your 1967 football season. Remember, it is your college and your team.

He won the contest for his daring ensemble which he has worn at all times since last semester. Svaaden·s ensemble consists of a fire engine red, close knit, sport shirt with By away collar and three yellow buttons. His pants, known as Taylormade, are by Bushell's of TaylorMoosic and can 'be described as being pre-shrunk black jeans with white stitching. He subscribes to the current rage which allows each 'hair on his legs to be seen . Filling in the six-inch gap between the 'bottom of his pants and the tops of his P.,F.C.'s (Puerto Rican Fence Climbers) are a tastefully selected pair of four-inch white work socks by John 's of Edwardsville. The theme of Svaaden's socks is echoed in his accessories which include a belt of four inch width and set off by a buckle emblazoned with the words "Tucson, Arizona, 1949." Covering Svaaden·s Brylcreemed hair is a hat of 100 per cent virgin straw ( not for long. ha! ha!)· which brandishes several tiny beer cans, dice and playing cards. Rounding out and complementing his attire is a switchblade by Harlem Accessories and a silver ring with a glaring skull and ruby eyes. For cooler weather, our double ought dons his hobnail encrusted jean jacket which proclaims his membership in that organization known as the Angels. For warmer weather, however, Svaaden chose a short, green satin jacket embroidered in the back with a large dragon and the word "Korea" (which is not a club). Our general "winner " may be seen week I y at Flanagan's Danceland U.S.A. . where he is employed parttime as chi~f bouncer. The Best-Dressed Male contest was sponsored by the Lettermen's Club and was judged by Dr. McGuillestine, representing the campus arbiters of taste. and Mr. Boobie Goldenbird, cosmopolitan assistant to the arbiters of taste. The narrator of the affair was Mr. Peter ltchie, who. during the intermission, entertained the audience with an organ solo to the accompaniment of the Broken Hearts String Quartet. In the even ing attire division, contestants were escorted by members of A.W.S. Local lalenl vie tor leafy crowns Upon learning that the film industry is about to present its annual Academy Awards. we decide·d that it is high time that a lot of local talent is recognized. which means that we have initiated our own awards program called the Beac,<>n Laurels. We wish to bestow our laurels on the brows of the deserving and hope that award to the wise is sufficient. We had no spec ial format to begin with, so we devised the following plan: the categories were made up in such a way so that the three-personed (no divinity symbol intended, please) voting panel could at least select from a number of nominees. This means that there is no award for outstanding newspaper coverage because the Beacon would win hands down ( you are to read this line as though, written after the speaker's name, were the words "spoken with all due modesty " ). We have likewise nominated in secret. And now, the Beacon Laurels-but first a word from our sponsor. This program is being brought to you through the auspices of Llewellyn & McKane . Inc. , local printers noted for their staunch support of C ollege activities ( we pay well); their personal effort in making it a point to attend those activities ( they print the tickets and rumor has it that they print their own): their unswerving attitude towards forcing the Beacon to run more six pagers (we pay better). And now - on with the show. Those nominated in the "best movie" category are mostly all popular reruns and are all "how to" films: "How to Remove the Handwriting on the Wall," directed by the workers f.>f Sordoni Construction Co. and produced by Image Builders, Inc ; "How to Tum Your Spare Time into Sleep," directed by the student help on the College maintenance crew; "How t'> Put Meaning into Your Life," directed by the College's sandbox political organization. Winne.r is "How to Remove the Handwriting on the Wall" for its true to form plot, its provincial atmosphere and its colorful language and scenery. Those nominated for "best female performance" are: That Waitress in the Commons for her role in --yours Please: .. That English Teacher for her role in .. Put Your Coats On and Get Out Of the Building Because You Are Disturbing My Class Next Door: .. That Conyngham Hall Cleaning Wo- man for her role in "Boy, They Sure Are Sloppy in Here." Winner is Conyngham Hall Cleaning Woman who continues to treat us with motherly affection and tolerance and who gallantly wanders into our pigsty every morning and finds our lost stories, clothes and wander ing mentalities. Those nominated in the "best male performance" category are: That high College Official for his performance in .. Sorry, We Don't Want Any Tangerines Today: .. 'I1hat English Professor for his tippy-top, top-notch rendering in .. Hardy; .. That SG Official for his role in .. I Talk to the Trees and The Trees Talk Back." And the winner is SG Official for his poetic language, his near-perfect portrayal of a philosopher and his projection of the community service image. And so our program closes. but not without a word of thanks to a former newspaper friend of ours who, though long since departed into the world of the living to make her mark , wi ll be glad to know that she ·is still thoug.ht of in a pinch. We realize that many categories ~·ave not been mentioned : we can only say that many categories did not offer us a choice.

To be considered for the award, applicants must appear at the music department's ·table in the Commons where Mr. Chapstick. head of the scholarship committee, will judge from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Each applicant is required to play a solo on his favor ite instrument. strut before the judge. display their ' best pouting expression, and show their limpest wr ist. Winners will be announced at the upcoming musicians· convention to be held at gay. exciting Vispi's Bar and Lounge. The music department has also announced that it is publishing its own weekly newsletter to publicize its forthcoming concerts and senior recitals. It seems that the department, to the dismay of Mr. Ohapstick. was receiving inadequate coverage in the College's weekly rag. It is also easier. said Chapstick. to put out Byers announcing our events rather than to pick up the telephone and call our news into the Beacon. The really big news from the twin ivory towers, however, concerns the fact that the music department and the drama department. otherwise known as Cue 'n Curtain . have finally decided who owns the C enter for the Performing Arts. After months of confusion ( i.e .. bickering). the issue was finally settled at a meeting between representatives of the two groups. Dr. Samuel Rosenberg of the College's economics department served as mediator. The Music department at first proposed to buy the Center from the College and pay for it out of its yearly budget from the College. When it was estimated that under such an arrangement the debt would not be paid off until the year 4368, the plan was labeled unfeasible and dropped immediately. To insure equal usage of the building by the two groups, Chapstick then proposed, Solomon-like, that the C enter be split down the middle and a dividing wa ll be constructed with each group getting one half of the C enter for its use. Both parties at once hailed the suggestion as a s troke of genius and adopted its by acclamation. A round of congratulatory handshaking and kissing and back-patting ensued. As a final friendly gesture, the representatives decided to rename the C enter as Groh-Gassparrow Hall to memorialize the new-born kinship between the two departments. The College recently had an unexpected surprise when they learned of the drive King's is now waging to totally integrate themselves w i t h Wilkes. Father 'K ilburn ha s agreed to compensate the College for the inconve ni ence and to completely pay for the proposed overhead walkway between the two schools. The payment of this expenditure will be helped along, though, by raising the admission fee for the annual spring sacrifice to be held next week at Scanlon Field. Another proposal has been the introductory banquet held by each King's department for the correspond ing Wilkes department majors. In spite of discouragements offered , the King's Glee Club has insisted on greeting all attendees at each of the banquets and providing the gay atmosphere throughout the evening. If asked nicely they might even be pursuaded to sing for the group. In the realm of s;,orts, King's has agreed to have their basketball team serve as masseuses in the College gym and for the debate society to serve as mannequins for the football team in return for Wilkes allowing the Kingsmen to attend the much raved over weekly festivit ies - ·the Friday night dances. Because of the overflowing crowds, the Wilkes dances have heretofore been restricted area to the anxious throngs of Kingsmen who stood impatiently pushing their cold noses against the windows. This segregation has worked very well in the past . . . with only one near disaster instigated by King 's. It seems a political science class from King 's conducted an extensive deKingsiazation training at " Little Wilkes" ( which had been constructed in an abandoned mine shaft under the college) and had lost enough of the King's prototype to pass for Wilkes. The small band, after passing through the extensive integration center and being judged as: of, by, and for Wilkes, the alma mater. freshman weekend, the homecoming queen. and mom's apple pie. they were admitted. Their short stay, approximately five minutes. made headlines in every local paper and in all the hometown papers connected with Wilkes coeds. The facts are rather sparse, but it all seems to have started when the impersonators saw a gym filled with skirts, nylons, and soft sweaters. Most of the invaders revealed that their thoughts pertaining to the next five minutes were rather vague, but there was something about 785 girls all running at once for the ladies' room and some ugly stories about the ones that didn't make it. The incident still lurks in the minds of the protective Administration and espec ially . I'm sure , with Dean Ahlborn who was last seen as she started to open the door to the ladies room. Because of this action and the general decrepitness of that place on the other side of the garage, the proposed Wilkes-King's merger has had little support on the Wilkes side. At last count King 's was seen dragging a 479.000-ton cornucopia down River Street enroute to Chase Hall with a VW screaming for help from th e middle of a 5-ton pineapple.

On th e sports page a banner headline s ta ted th at tihe NCAA wrestling tourney was a success. 1'he article also sta ted that the wrestling tourney was held here at Wilkes. This s tatement was incorrect, and we cannot imagine how it cou ld 1have slipped past the copy readers. As all Wilkes students know , it is a policy o f the Administration not to allow Wilkes teams to pa rt icipate in post-season games or tournaments. Th erefore , it is unthinkable that The Shrike sports staff feels that the Beacon (you know, t'he thing you use when 'it rains on Friday ) has not done justi'ce to Wilkes' best athletes in th eir athlete of the week selections.

The identical initials, NCAA , was probab ly what caused the mixup. The Administration ren ted the gym to the assembly because they felt that they an'd the Nasa Costra have similar aims. The admission fees were di vi ded between the two organizations.

Pines The traditional Freshman Tea , sponsored by TDR , was held yesterday at McClintock Ha11 from 2 p.m . to 4 p.m. Approximately 50 girls from area high schools on the east side of the Susquehanna who have received their acceptance from Wilkes College toured the campus. The pui,pose of the tea was to introduce the girls to campus life and to discuss with the upperclassmen any questions or problems ·concerning the academic and social life at the college. Dean Ahlborn welcomed the visiting girls on behalf of the administration. The Brandywine Trio supplied the entertainment for the tea. The March 16 tea is only the first part of TDR 's program to introduce girls to college life. A similar second tea will be sponsored on March 30 for high school girls on the west side of the Susquehanna River. Since the response to the tea was great, TDR found it necessary to hold two separate teas in order to insure informality through a relatively small group of fifty girls. The committee chairmen for the tea were Pat Beshasa, Maureen Flanley. Julie Kapral. and Dot Delong. Dance W.A.A. will sponsor a Saint Patrick's Day Dance tonight in the gym.

T'he purpose of the fellowships, granted under Le·t'ter V-C of the Higher Education Act of 1965, is to strengthen and improve elementary and secondary education through graduate training. 'Iihe program provides for up to two years of graduate study on a full-time basis leading to an advanced degree other than t<he doctorate. Fellows receive stipends of $2,000 for the first academic year and $2,200 for the second year, plus allowances of $400 for each eligible dependent. An additional sti~nd of $400, plus $100 for each dependent, is available for summer study. Fellowships are awarded to students selected by the institutions providing the training programs. For each of the fellows the institutions receive supporting funds of $2.500 per year. It was anounced earlier by the Office of Education that approximately 1,500 ex·p¢rienced teachers will take graduate 'work under 70 fellowship programs conducted by 57 colleges and universities during the 1967-68 academic year. These programs will be conducted in 31 states at a cost of about $11.5 million. Applications are now available for the eighth annual Florence Domblaser Memorial Scholarships. A wards of $250, $150, and $100 will be given to three deserving women students in their junior year for use in their senior year. Established to honor the founder of this 'fund, t'he late Florence Dornblaser, first 't reasurer df "the Pennsylvania Federation of Democratic Women, Inc., and to encourage young women to pursue and develop interests in politics and government, the awards are available to young women majoring or planning to teach in the fields of government, political science , economics, and history. A Pennsylvania resident, she must have a good scholastic average , have a definite financial need, and be active in student affairs. In addition, she must possess a Democratic family background or be an active participant in the Democratic Party. Application forms, available at the Beacon office, must be postmarked on or before April 23. John T. Engle, president of the newly-formed Junius - International Relations Club, presented SG with a longrange financial statement for the organiza'tion. The new club's request for this year was $300; but since the club is reportedly not yet legal, <the question was raised whether such a grant would not set a dangerous precedent. Although most members of SG believed that it would, Presiden't Matt Fl'iss was in favor of making the subsidy in order to help the new club prove itself. One of the purposes of the club, according to Fliss, is to provide a practical outlet for the otherwise passive activities of college education. However, a decision could not easily be reached; and the discussion was fin•a lly tabled for review at a later meeting. Acted upon next were suggestions, postponements and cancellations. A motion was passed to investigate the price of an ultra-violet ray lamp and the related hand-stamping apparatus, both of which could be used at club dances in the place of tickets. It was announced that the Junior-Senior dinner-dance is postponed until April 7, and that the Heart Fund Dance, because of an unforeseeable conftict, is cancelled for this year only. Possible dates for the Spring Concert were given as April 15 and 29, and May 6, 13 and 15. Being considered is the offer of a New York company to take full financial responsibility for the performance in return for 90 per cent of ~he profit. Next, a committee of student and faculty members for the partial management of college affairs was proposed to Dr. Farley. He allegedly stated that this would be a fine idea, were it not for the negative vote at the recent student referendum. Finally, it was announced that the date for class elections would be set before April 15. In conjunction with these elections, an informal SG internship program was initiated at the meeting. The purpose of this program is to acquaint presidential nominees with the actual duties of the president before running for office . Of those nominated. all but Joseph Gatto declined . Allan Sa•idman wished to announce that the opinions e~pressed in last week's SG column were his. As a Profs stage sholV al sporting event by Zig A. Pines On March 30 at 7 p.m., Wilkes College will be in store for a basketball extravaganza or fiasco, planned by the freshman class. As a means for supplementing its new treasury, the freshman class will sponsor two basketball games in the gym, open to the College students for a nominal fee of 35 cents. The preliminary game will involve a battle of brawn and ability between the girls' varsity basketball team and the men·s varsity basketball team. The men·s team·s (6-15) and the women's team's (5-3) records will be at stake as both teams will try to display their superiority. The game, in which girls ' rules will prevail, will be refereed by two women. A reliable source has mentioned the possibility of a "determining factor" that should prove advantageous to one of the con- testing teams, most probably the women. The highlight of the evening, however, will be a similar contest of brawn and ability between the faculty and the Lettermen's Club. In this case, members of the faculty will display their athletic prowess and will employ their academic talents in form ulating a winning strategy against the Lettermen's Club. (The faculty, however, does not plan to have a practice session.) The faculty members chosen thus far are Mr. Rainey, Mr. Reese, Mr. Schmidt, Mr. Ralston, Mr. Capin, Mr. Evangelista, Mr. Goldenberg, Mr. Valero, Dr. Tappa, Dr. Cox , Mr. Show, and Mr. Sweeney. On hand to referee the game will be Mr. Hoover and Carlyle Robinson . The game was planned by a committee headed by Katie Eastman, Joe Kolsby, and Paula Gilbert. Schedule set for students Activities center planned in dorm Pre-registration for fall and summer college will take place as follows: Juniors and engineering students Monday , March 27, to Friday, March 31. Sophomores - Monday, April 3, to Friday, April 7. Freshmen - Monday , April 10, to Friday. April 14. Because of the problems and the confus ion created by the 300 students who registered early for the spring semester, there will be no early registration for the fall semester. Therefore, students are asked to exercise care and judgment in completing the preregistration forms . Also, schedule changes at the final registration will be made only after the student receives the approval of his advisor and ' department chairman. After many delays, plans for the new student union, to be located in the basement of the new men's dorm, are now being completed; and the project, according to Dean Ralston, will be open to the students by the fall semester 1967. The area will include a lounge , vending room, and a game room and will be available to all students, both commuters and dorm. The purpose of the project, other than creating a rec reational area, is an attempt to bridge the gap 'between the day and dorm students. Presently, the second floor of the Commons is serving as a substitute. Here, the snack bar and recreational area are now available to students, Sunday through Friday evenings from 7 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. follow-up, he moved that protection be a requirement of all College dances. Appended to the motion was this: a vioJ.a•tion of the rule would result in the loss of a club 's calendar date for the following year. Without debate, this mdtion was passed, but 'by a vo 1e of e'igh't to six , with t'hree abstaining . And, in passing, it was mentioned that pU!blicity posters for the Junius Society's recent lecture have been removed from various bulletin boards, resulting in 'a loss of $30 to the club. Chwalek releases math intern news by Carol Okrasinski John Chwalek, p-lacement director, has announced that teaching positions are available through the Junior High School Mathematics Internship Project of I 967. The College of Education of Temple University in cooperation with Philadelphia public schools is conducting the teacher preparation program for college graduates to provide them with teaching posi'tions and to prepare them to teach contemporary mathematics to disadvantaged youth. The intern receives certification to teach mathematics, a master's degree , up to $650 toward tuition costs, and a starting salary of $6,100 with yearly increments. The applicant need not have a degree in mathematics, for only six semester hours in mathematics are required. The pr<mram includes eleven weeks of summer work to prepare for teaching in September and 't hree years in teaching contemporary mathematics. The intern takes five credits in adolescent growth and development. six credits in mathematics, and three in the teac'hing of mathematics. Ac·tual teaching begins in September when the intern is placed in a Philadelphia junior hig:h school with the status and salary the same as other teachers who possess similar preparation. During the first year, the intern rece•ives supervisory help from the university and from his school. Through a weekly seminar, he studies educational sociology, teaching disadvantaged students, and the teaching of mathematics. In the second semester a reading course is added to the program. In ·the second ~ummer, the intern pursues graduate courses in mathematics or education with full cerUfica1tion as a goal. During the second and third years of teaching, courses are pursued to complete requirements for the master's degree in education.

Whereas oher generations had opportunities to fight what they believed were legitimate Anti-Christs, ours is faced with a war which is very difficult to reduce to emotional reasons. We had wars to rid the world of heretics; we had wars to end wars; we had a war to destroy fascism. We might say that we now have a war to destroy rice paddies, mutilate children. and increase prostitution. We might also say that we are fighting to save democracy in South Viet Nam. But what democracy? Diem was a dictator; he would not allow really free elections: And Ky is much in the same mold. While South Viet Nam is making a real attempt to bring about democracy, it is clear that the country is racing against time. If we pull out, more than likely the country would soon align itself with Ho Chi Minh's regime. Consequently, our presence has to be one of long duration - long enough to allow the country to grow to democratic maturity. And how long will that take? Is such a duration worth it? Is our system applicable in other countries with different cultural heritages? , Is an upheaval resulting in democracy the right end for a country such as South Viet Nam? The same can be said for Ho's insistence that the country become Communist. Is it then reasonable that two systems so different should lock horns over which will prevail in South Viet Nam? And does it really matter which system wins? Should South Viet Nam become part of a Communist Viet Nam; does this mean that Thailand would follow suit? The Thais do have their problems. That country's trouble with its alien tribesmen is certainly potential tinder for a Communist explosion. (Communist infiltration has certainly taken place by now.) But if handled adequately and quickly, the difficulties with these tribesmen could not become the Communist monsoon which would sweep Thailand under. If we were to describe in what terms this war is being fought, we would have to say it is being waged in terms of the past and in terms of a correct or incorrect prognosis of the future. This country is haunted by the specter of Munich - compromise failed there and you know what happened afterward. This country is also being plagued with the fear that all of Southeast Asia will become Communist, and then the rest of the world rather quickly. Is this a reasonable assessment of the problem at hand? When this war is over, we might be able to understand why there is a war in Viet Nam. And if it is really over, we will never know since one future prognosis predicts nuclear holocaust as a direct result of the struggle in Viet Nam. Variations on Adam Clayton Powell; or, The Beatles Reconsidered "Nothing is real; nothing to get hung about," or so go the lyrics of the Beatles' "Strawberry Fields Forever." If such is true, then reality is rather hard to face. If such is true. neutrality, embalming fluid in the veins, is the only answer. And that is not a very brave new world. Consequently, to live means involvement, means a desperate belief in ideas which very probably are meaningless. But a stoic faith, well kept, well nurtured, baby, is probably the only answer to living. \NHAT • \NHERE • \NHEN DANCE-Women's Athletic Association-Gym- Tonight, 9-12 p.m. "ROSEMARIE" -Manuscript- CPA- Tonight, 7 and 9 p.m. CONCERT - Betty Allen, soloist - Industrial Management Club of Wyoming Valley - lrem Temple- Tonight, 8 p.m. DINNER-DANCE - Freshman and Sophomore Classes - Marco Polo Room - Tomorrow, 6:30-12:30 p.m. CONCERT - Philharmonic Hungrica Symphony - Ludwig Hoffman, piano soloist Community Concert Association - lrem Temple, March 21, 8:30 p.m. REG :STRATION for Juniors and Engineering Students- March 20-31.

Dear Editor: Student Government member Brillinger, in his March 3 column, stated that SG has the responsibility of allocat1ng monies to intercollegiate organizations or delegations. The qu es tion in point arose during a requ es t from the Collegiate Conference on the United Na tions (CCUN) for additional convention funds, and the problem was settl ed after SG had cons'i dered the constitutionality of allotting more than the maximum amount. Evidently, no discussion arose as to how that chili represents Wilkes or has represented Wilkes. Seemingly, to be intercollegiate is criterion enough! I won 't harp on the fact that CCUN was allotted $70 but did not attend their convention. That problem must be settled between the ill-fated orgyites and the Administra-tion. That thi s situation arose, howeve r, is enough to highlight the lack of SG policy in the area of intercollegiate conference funding, The only set policy now, as Mr, Brillinger stated. is $10 per delegate or $125, whichever is less. On the other hand, Mr, Zebrowski 's point was well taken that conven'tion fees are rising - along with hotel accommodations and the cos t of living in general. Reform to realistic levels is needed! More important, however, is SG's lack of concern as to the purpose of any organization. Last semester, SG was more interested in the '" community oriented " project to enhance the awareness and prestige of Wilkes in th e greater community. Presumably, this applied also to those clubs which were basically intercollegiate, and w'ho would then seek to build the prestige of Wilkes among our sister colleges. It would seem, also, that SG would o.msider each club's program before granting funds. Nevertheless, this was not the case: representation· of Wilkes on a local level was not equated with representation of Wilkes on an intercollegiate level, nor was any interest shown to club programs in either sphere. Thus, the black-eye given Wilkes last weekend in New York City. As a member o,f an intercollegiate organization I can fee l sym pathy for Neither Here Nor lhere Guess what Neither Here Nor There gets this week: Squeak Up . . .

So long." ·· · Male voice: "I like those guys with (Centinued on page 3) the CCUN delegates. The fault doesn't wholly lie with them! "Even SG can be wrong, " to conclude in agreement with Mr. Brillinger. Please Withhold Name Assemblies hit Dear Editor: Today the s tudents of Wilkes College have been subjected to another speaker with considerably doubtful attributes, In spite of his incessant s tuttering and wild trips on tangents irrelevan't to his topic , I managed to discover that he was speaking on Viet Nam. This could have been very interes ting had I not read the same thing he was unsuccessfully trying to di scuss several times in several different newspapers and magazines, The avid interest in his speech on the part of the rest of the student body was clearly demonstrated by the lack of their presence, bowed , sleeping heads , open text books, and serious and humorous conversation going on through out the gym . This interes t is not unique of this particularly boring assembly. Through my forced attendance, I have seen it in practically every assembly program. I, along witih a ·g oodly percentage df the student body , think that mandatory assembly attendance is not a good practice. Jamming thirty assemblies into a school year forces the assembly planners to settle for less than mediocre speakers and gives a bad name to a good idea. Surely one assembly a month, an interesting assembly, is better than four poor ones. I believe that following this method would be far more educational and enjoyabl e than the present one. Our assembly program is lacking in eve~y thil}g but n\1111per . Isn 't it time that something be done about it? Matthew B. Buglehall More Letters (page 3) announcer Announcer: "Yes.

Pat IRA threatens thespians by Helen Dugan A s eve ryone anticipates the opening night of Othello, th ey should be consc ious of the try ing catastrophes that led up to its presen tation. Firs t, Cue ·n Cu rtain was faced wit'h -the problem of selecting a play. The possibilities were considered until only two remained : Othello, which was a sure bet for success and the unanimous choice o f ithe students, and the Confess~on, wh'ich was introduced to Cue ·n Curtain by a write-in vote from the I.R.A . Since St. Patrick's day was so close to the tentativ e performance date and the Confession was th e memoirs of an Irish pa'tron saint of shamrocks ( yes, St. Patrick) , the choice of plays was in favor of the Confession. It is possibl e thoug'h, that a threat to have th e 540,000 members of the LR .A . march in mass on the Fine Arts C enter and paint it green while burning Admiral N elson and Othello in effigy in the lobby could ha ve ha d something to do with their de'Cision. At th'is point Cue ·n Curtain was only ever the first hurdl e of th e long road to opening night. Lette rs from the N ew Admiral N elson Statue Comm it- tee s tarted to pour in. The first letters took the form of pleas to Cue 'n Curtain to regain its sanity and return to Othello. Later, letters took t'he form of threats of a savage at-tack of whiteha'ired ladi es marc'hing on the opening night performance all wearing Carrie Nation buttons and carrying hatchets wi't'h th e fla g of England monogramed on their notched-out handies. A quick scanning of the play revealed that not only was it written in Latin but it wasn 't even a play. Since not too many Cue 'n Curtain members were very ·proficient in Latin, th e classic's first translaNon came out sounding like the Iliad as written by Edward A!llbee. But the Cue 'n Curtain fea rlessly proceeded onward with the Confession. Parts were distributed to an equal number of Mac Faddens a nd W ests and rehea rsa ls got underway . Thin gs went rather smoothly until they came to the event o f St. Pa·trick being kidnapped by a band of marauders when he was sixteen. The exuberant band quickly swept down on th e s tag e, surprising t:he humble conquerer-of-souls as he went a'bout hi s daily chores. T'hat was rhe last time the star was Page 3 BEACON eve r seen. A s the story goes in real life, St. Patrick was held in captivity for six years. Now , we're not saying this is w hat is happeni ng , but . .. well, it is a possi'bi l'i ty. With th e loss o f the leading man and the growing impatience of both th e LR .A. and th e Ca rrie N ation associa tes, Cue 'n Curtain decides to try for a long shot. They sent word to both faction s that King 's was undecided as to whether th ey would dedica te their new lib rary to Admiral N elson or to the many Irish imm igrants wiho helped to build up the area to w hat it is today . An immediate reaction took place on both sides. Saint Patrick was returned the next day , all the Ht'tle, wh'ite-'haired ladies went sc rea ming down River Street swinging their ·hatche ts over their 'heads, the LR .A . moved their 50,000 gallons of green paint out of the C enter's lobby and Mr. Groh sent out a rush order for fifty copies o f Othello. At last report, th e LR.A. was 'threatening to paint nude leprec ha uns on aII th e windows o'f -the new King' s dorm and Othello was going through its second week of peaceful re hearsals.

Kanon, a Ha rvard student from Nanti'coke, appeared in the Harvard Crimson and is being reprinted from th e Collegiate Compendium, Hollywood has long been skillful in turning good books into bad movies, but Is Paris Burning is a n unfortunate perversion of that well-worn theme it takes a pretentious chunk of bad journalism and turns it into an even worse film . One is nearl y awestruck at the achievement, whic h is perfectl y flne since the only other reac tions the fllm could possibly produce are boredom and fury a t havin g paid the w hopping three-dollar admiss ion . Paris is so interminably long, so badly acted , so deliciously incoherent that it cou ld very well be the fl op of the year, nay, the decade.

Moreover, none df the 15 losses were lopsided margins and in fact, most were lost by only a ,fe w points. At least 8 games were lost at the foul line, many mistakes leading to fouls. 11he mistakes in turn were due .to inexperience. But by the end of the season, the 1967 edition of the Co'lonels looked like a top-notch team. Tihe fact that there are only two seniors on the team leaves prospects for next year rosy.

At t'he end of the quarter-finals, Wilkes was in a five-way tie for fourth place w ith 12 points, 14 behind leading and eventual w inner Portland. In the '66 championships Wilkes was second with 51 and Portland State third wi th 48. Wiendl. who was fourth last yea r, had registered a pin and a decision in Friday's preliminaries a nd quarterfinals. Cook, who was six th in the tourney at Mankato, registered two pins and a decision in his three bouts. Wiendl and Cook were the only ones to survive th e quarter~fina'ls . Marfia, 123, lost a 10-1 decision and Kiefer, 137, was stopped, 9-0. Five defending champions put their titles on the lin e w ilth three of them repeating.

Johnson was decisioned, 5-4 , by Mike McKee! o f Portland State. Beeson was disqualified after delivering an illegal slam against his opponen't which preven ted him from continuing the bout. In th e bout for which everyone was wai;ting, Joe Wiendl of Wilkes finished second at 160 to Don Morrison of C olorado School of Mines. W 'iendl was leading , 5-2, when Morrison fashioned a p'in in 4:08. Wiendl ·had scored on a reversal, a predi'cament, and a ·pin, whi le Morrison had scored only a reversal. With Morrison in command, Wiendl attempted a sit-out, which Morrison turned to his advantage in putting W ·iendl on his back. It was the only mistake Wiendl made during the championships, bu't it turned out to be one too many. It marked the Joe Wiendl is shown struggling to take down Don Morrison of Colorado School of Mines in the 160-pound division championship.

THE.BEACON VOL. XXVI, No. 17 Welcome, Wrestlers! Friday, March 10, 1967 Large majority rejects code The results of the student referendum, held on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week, indicated that the incorporation of an honor code at the College would not be feasible at this time. Of the students who voted, over two-thirds were opposed to the establishment of an honor code. Indicating a more positive attitude, however, was the number of voters. The turnout, according to Dr. Harold E. Cox, acting chairman of the Academic Integrity Co~mittee, was probably the larges t in the history of the College. Custodian piles it -0n. See related editorial, page 2. Court set up in new dorm by Joe Gatto A student court was initiated on the third floor of the New Men's Dormitory this past week. It was necessitated by a general atmosphere of disorder which had been prevalent on the third floor since classes began in September. The court constitution was approved at a meeting of all third floor residents on Thursday evening, March 3. Dr. Farley opened the meeting with a 'brief address in which he expressed his strong approval of the student-initiated plan and further stated his encouragement of setting up a court for the entire New Men's Dormitory, if the effort on the third floor was to be successful. The Student Court, which consists of the presidents of each wing, the proctor from each wing, one student elected by the residents of each wing and one student chosen by the Administration from each wing , will serve a two-fold purpose : first, to maintain a condition conducive to study, and secondly, to review students' complaints and suggestions for bettering present dormitory conditions. The following officers were chosen: Joe Gatto, chairman; Bob Brown, vicechairman ; Bob Thurnau, secretary. Other members include Matt Moran, John Krip , Bill Hinckle, Bill Closson and Jim Neubauer.

This German film will be shown March 17 at two showings, 7 p.m. and 9 p.m ., in the Center for the Performing Arts. The film presents the career of Rosemarie Nitribitt (Nadja Tiller), a smalltime prostitute who sings on street corners until she is noticed by the managing director of a powerful cartel and becomes the mistress of first one and then most of his colleagues. The French seek information about the cartel and commission her to take down her clients' confessions on a tape recorder. When the whole group of industrialists of the Wirtschaftswunder realize that they are in the power of a prostitute and her foreign lover, she From an eligible body of 1967 students, 1.401 (71.1 percent) came to the polls. Those who voted for the code numbered 436 (31.1 percent) as opposed to the 965 (68.9 percent) who cast negative ballots. As it had been predicted, a large majority of commuting students voted against the honor code, but resident students also defeated the proposal. The majority in this case was smaller. is strangled in her apartment by a mysterious intruder. Reassured , the industrialists drive away in their identical black Mercedes cars. Receiving more attention than any German film since the war, Rosemary has proven to be more than a headline story to its audiences. As Rob ert Vas pointed out in Sight and Sound, it raised all the current issues in West Germany - " relics of Hitlerism, poverty, loneliness, cynicism, boredom " - in its story and musical interludes. Its mixture of satire and drama , and its stylized originality, make it uniqu e among contemporary German films . The film won the Italian critics' prize at the Venice Film Festival in 1958. Students are again requested to submit poems, essays, and fiction to Manuscript for publication in May. Any member will receive material. Stephen C . Polnaszek, 3.31; Joel B.

Marchetti, 3.26; Robert (Continued on page 3) It has been hypothesized that many students who voted negatively did so because of the code's apparent incompatibility with the present physical and sociological conditions at the College. According to the preliminary report of Subcommittee "A " of the AIC, for example, a study of 28 American colleges with existing .h onor systems shows that most of these colleges are over 50 years old. Sixteen of the colleges are over I 00 years old, and three are beyond 200. " . . . the sampling strongly indicates that institutions with honor systems tend to be older colleges and universities with strong and longestablished traditions." The nature of the student bodies was another consideration in this report. It was found that of the 28 schools, ten are for women only, and nine are for men only. Of the remaining schools, at least two were exclusively for men at the time of the incorporation of the honor system. A social factor prominent in this study group was denominational affiliation. A majority of these schools had denominational ties at the time w.h en their honor systems were adopted, and three of the colleges are now under state control while two are under federal control. Other physical factors were shown to be the size and type of the school. The report indicated that honor systems are most successful at colleges which are small enough to permit close personal contact among students, faculty , and administration. Of the colleges studied, 18 have enrollments of under 1,400 students. As the report stated, it is ironic that it is the increase in the size of Wilkes and the consequent decrease in personal contact which has led to increased inquiry into academic integrity. And , in addition to size, it was found that th e schools studied are almost completely residential. This is in accordance with the belief that schools in which the student body is predominantly non-resident are the most difficult in which to establish an honor system. The majority of students who live at home, it seems, do not identify with or contribute to the campus society. The last major consideration in this study was that of the pattern in which the honor systems were adopted. The majority of honor systems were initiated by students, but there were exceptions. At both Stevens Institute and Stanford University, the honor codes were proposed by the presidents; and they were adopted by the students shortly afterwards. A similar situation occurred at Knox College in Illinois. At Clarke, the impetus for an honor system came from a graduate student and the student newspaper. The point made here was that honor systems can be established not only through spontaneous student desires but also through the education of the student body to accept the responsibilities necessary for the operation of such systems. From this brief survey, however, it must be concluded that conditions at the College have been and are, still incompatible with the establishment of an honor system. Two previous attempts at honor systems have been made at Wilkes, one in 1958 and the other in 1962. Both attempts were originated by "splinter" groups within the student body; and although the second attempt yielded a better result than the first, both attempts failed, generally, for lack of support and a feeling among students that " it would not work." And present affairs at the College would seem to support this conclusion. Wilkes is a predominantly non - residential, independent, non - denominational, co-educational, and relatively young, rapidly expanding college. And so the prdblem of socio-physical incompatibility may have defeated the honor system at the College. Unless a suryey is made, however, this cannot b~ said for sure. It has been pointed out, at any rate, that because of the rapid rate of growth at the College, something must eventually be done to deal with the problem of academic integrity. Accordingly, the first of a series of meetings took place last Tuesday. It began discussion by the AIC of possible alternatives to an honor system at the College. The movement is young yet and information concerning the activities will be released at a later date. When asked what significance the results of the referendum had, Dr. Cox replied that the responsibility for many student affairs would surely remain with the faculty and Administration for the time being, at least. On the other hand, Cox points out, the polls were the scene of the largest turnout in the history of the College. The Colonels' Barry Gold is shown racking up his fourth win -0f the MAC championships. Barry went all the way to the finals, where he lost out to last year's defending champion in the 177-pound class, Dave Mucka. Story, page 4. �WILKES Page 2 The Snow Job on Ruby Tuesday The Administration last Tuesday once again showed its farsightedness in keeping the College open while all schools within a fifty-mile radius were closed. At first, the advantages of this act may not be apparent to the average student; however, it has been pointed out by the history department that there hasn't been such a well-planned campaign using the weather since the battle of Stalingrad. With this act the College has become a leader in controlling overcrowding of college campuses. The many students who were probably killed in their attempt to reach the intellectual hub of Wyominq Valley were naturally the more inept students and drivers. Thus, the College was rid of those not really worthy of a Wilkes education. After all, you have heard of trial by combat. Well, haven't you? While this course of action will at first rid the campus of superfluous day hops, the weeding out of dorm students wilt make itself apparent when and if a few of this group make it across foreboding Franklin Street to tell their ghastly tales of frostbite and rampant respiratory diseases to the angels of mercy at the Red Cross buildin9. The students also rid the campus of unwanted trees and shrubbery by using their branches for splints and fires. An indirect, but definitely beneficial effect of this decision was to provide the AMNICOLA with literally hundreds of students to whom this year's yearbook can be dedicated. In fact, it is probable that the number of dedication pictures will greatly outnumber those of the students who will manage to graduate this year. Some say that Wilkes is a colleqe without a heart. We don't know about that, but we do know that the Administration has a sense of humor. Blood and Iron What the world needs now is not love, sweet love, but a crafty, determined statesman like Disraeli or Bismarck. The end neither condemns nor justifies the means, and honesty is almost always a disadvantage in international dealings. The U.S. has been naive much too long in international affairs. Remember that Belgium tried to be an honest nation in two wars and got the tar slapped out of it twice. Might may not make right, but it does usually make success. tiMA L.< --- - ·· · · \NHAT • \NHERE • \NHEN FACULTY SEMINAR - Theodore Snyder- Faculty Lounge - Tonight, 7:45 p.m. DANCE- Freshman Class- Gym - Tonight, 9-12 p.m. LECTURE - EXISTENTIAL PSYCHOLOGY - Dr. Adrian Van Kaam, Aquinas Lecturer lrem Temple- Today, 10:15 a.m. BALLET -WIZARD OF OZ- FINE ARTS CENTER- Tomorrow and Sunday, 2:15 p.m. ART EXHIBIT - Wyoming Valley Art League - Little Gallery, 29 N.

COLLEGE Friday, March 10, 1967 BEACON I.ttt,,., t, tt/it,,. Sausage man attacked Dinner Dance Dear Editor: By this time, the storms of rift and confusion have no doubt broken through, and many unassuming young men are sitting at their favorite cafeteria table pondering, "why on earth would those lovable creatures, the hierarchy of the freshman and sophomore classes, want to soak me $7.50 for a lousy dinner dance. I mean , let's face it, man, that 's highway robbery ." Highway robbery? The very idea! My dear unassuming young fellow, let me momentarily put my foot in my mouth while I expound on this seemingly crucial matter. $7.50 is a bargain, a real honest-to-goodness John's Bargain Store bargain. If the freshman and sophomore classes were really rat fink money mongers, they would be charging you fifteen, yes fifteen dollars a ticket. (Now that is highway robbery.) Instead we , as I too am part of this scheming hierarchy, were going to set the price at $10 or so. Robbery again you say? Not in the least. As a matter of fact, the actual cost of the affair is approximately $10, but out df the goodness of their pumping hearts, the classes lowered the price to an eye-popping $7.50. No, you still get something to eat. Yes, there will be chairs to sit on. The reason for the reduction in price is this: for each ticket bought, the class treasuries will subsidize $1.25 per person. This means that for every couple, the classes will contribute $2.50 toward the cost of their ticket. Thus, the price is only $7.50. Now that's a bargain in any man 's land! Oh yes, what does the $7.50 pay for? Well, someone has to pay for the entertainment, And the favors. And the cost of the tickets. And the invitations, And the decorations. And the special guests. And you don ' t eat for free, you know . The freshman and sophomore classes are not out to make a fast buck. Far from it. They are merely trying to provide for the classes a refreshing and memorable evening at the lowest possible cost. If anything. the classes will lose on the affair rather than swell their banks with profits. If there are still any doubts in your mind that the cost is just a little too high, think it over; consult one of your class representatives and ask him to show you exactly what part of your money goes for what; talk to Dr. Farley; write to your congressman; appeal to the Supreme Court; defect to Russia ; do what you may, the price remains the same. But in the meantime. be a good guy and buy a ticke t. Carol Womelsdorf Brodbeck nomed Myrna Lou Brodbeck, a junior English major from Hughestown, was elected to the executive position of Regional Director of the Northeast Region of the Inter-collegiate Conference on Government at the annual convention in Kutztown last Sunday.

Neo-Bentham Dear Editor: Concerning the highly intellectual article last week anathematizing Wilkes Wilkes as a high school and other similar condemnations - all equally nebulous - it seems to me that we have a budding Jeremy Bentham or better yet, perhaps a Nietzsche on our campus. Thanks to the Beacon, one can voice opinions, but if one does so, it should be necessary to have valid arguments to verify ridiculous statements. The entire realm of attack voiced by the "sausage man" is supported by hasty generalizations especially s in c e ( being a freshman) he has no means of comparison to any similar institu- tion. Since nobody (including our flaccid staff) on this campus knows or cares about the real purpose of learning, I am glad that Wilkes has finally fostered a messiah. All I have to say is that until one gains enough intelligence to wield a decent argument, and enough maturity to give the institution time to prove itself, I would suggest that one should keep his idealistic cacophony to him self. If the writer actually had conviction in his opinions of Wilkes, then why didn ' t he have enough courage to append his name to them? If "everything at Wilkes means nothing" then P. R. is a prime example. Dennis A. Jones Query Thanks Dear Editor: I would like to thank each of the judges for making me their choice in this year's Best Dressed Coed Contest. It is a great honor. I would also like to thank all th e people who have been so wonderful to me before, during and after the contest, especially the girls of A WS. Sincerely, Leslie Calamari Keep the Faith, Baby Dear P. R. Man: Wilkes is an anathema , but so is Yale, T emple and Kunkle Tech. The concept of forced or semi-forced education is the real heretic.

That's always a good conversation opener on Monday morning in both the old and new cafs. It is a sad state of affairs when a student runs the risk of getting his face punched in at a college dance. It has happened too many times in the past when our ··virile heroes" arrive in a " pack" at the dance and proceed to barge their way through the door. (It is hard to scrape up 75 cents for a dance when it could go for beer.) Insulted Dates It is not just the " lushes" from Wilkes that make the scene at the dances, but sometimes the Kingsmen come down and bless us with their presence, the local "tuff guys" from local teeny-bopper high schools manage to worm their way in, and occasionally a visiting servic eman makes his "breath" known . These guys ( usually relatively sane during the week) turn into mental morons as soon as they have a couple of NOTICE beers and purposely begin to cause trouble. Have you had your date insulted lately? It is the SG representatives' job to see that the rules are maintained at the dances. This would entail seeing that coats and ties are worn, watching the doors, making sure that a club has provided a coat check to prevent stealing, etc. In other words, the SG representatives act as student "cops" enforcing these sophisticated rules for mature college students. It has been an honor and a pleasure for many of the student leaders on campus to try to reason with groups of trouble-making, slobbering baboons. Ask Mr. Roberts how many times he had to intervene as the adult chaperone in preventing disagreements. Well , why not a real policeman? It has been generally felt in the past that " the College can handle its own affairs without any outside help .. ." A wise sage once said "a good defense is the best offense. " Maybe it even could work at Wilkes! The policeman doesn't have to get involved in college affairs , but just act as a psychological deterrent against trouble.

Approximately 400 wrestlers from 90 colleges will participate in the two-day event. The first four finishers in each division will then be eligible to participate in the NCAA University Division Tourney on March 23-25, at Kent State, Ohio. As mentioned before, the Colonels are one of the favored squads and boast five returning place winners. They are Joe Kiefer, second at 137; Joe Wiendl, fourth at 152; Dick Cook, sixth at 167; Barry Gold, sixth at 191; and Fran Olexy , sixth at 177, who will not participate due to an injury sustained i~ the MAC Tourney.

The schedule for today and tomorrow is: trophy last year in one of his few appearances of the season, and perhaps he can do it again this year. The dark horse of the tournament is likely to be freshman Andy Matviak. He has seen limited action this season at 123, but this weekend he is going at 115 pounds. In the Wilkes Open he took third place at I I 5 in his first college appearance and is looked on to be one of the Colonels' top prospects.

Wilkes has two champs ii -' ·~- The Colonel grapplers once again emerged as the MAC college and university division wrestling champs by protecting an eleven-point team advantage and toppling heavily favored Temple University, 73-62. In the early going, the Colonels took the lead after the quarter-final round in the tournament held at Moravian College last Friday and Saturday. Wilkes had 20 points and placed six wrestlers in the semi-final round while West Chester was in second position with 16 points and three semi-finalists. Threatening both was Temple with 14 points and six wrestlers qualifying for the semi-final round. A total of 150 wrestlers from 23 colleges were entered. Finalists are eligible to enter the NCAA Championships held later this month at Kent State University, Ohio. Surviving for Wilkes were: Dick Cook, defending champion at 167; John Marfia, 123; Jim McCormick, 130; Joe Wiendl, 160; Barry Gold, 177; and Fran Olexy , heavyweight. Galen Cruse of Wilkes was decisioned in the quarter-final rounds by Mike Dowhower, 145, of West Chester, another defending champion. The finals of the twenty-ninth MAC mat classic were held before a packed crowd of slightly more than 4,000 fans at Archbald Hall on the Moravian College campus. As predicted in last week's Beacon, the Colonels took their crown with back-to-back victories by Joe Wiendl in the 160-polnd class and Dick Cook in the 167 -pound class. The victory for the Colonels was the seventh in the eleven years since the MAC Championships combined both the college and university divisions. Five Wilkes wrestlers went into the finals of the MAC Championships. Jim McCormick, at 130 pounds, was the first Colonel performer on the mats in the finals. He took on Temple's Don Milone, a defending champion (or the last two years. Last year Milone and the Colonels' John Carr shared honors as the MAC Tournament's Most Valuable Wrestlers. Late Joe Wiendl, a sophomore, is shown in the semi-final bouts. Joe captured the 160pound crown vacated by John Carr. On his way to the MAC championship, Wiendl had little trouble in any match winning via pins or lopsided decision wins. in the contest Jim McCormick was down by one point, 11-10, and he decided to risk everything by going for a take-down. However, he made two costly mistakes and dropped the decision to this year's most valuable wrestler, Don Milone. At the end of the match, McCormick and Milone were given a standing ovation for staging the most spirited bout of the night. Wilkes took its first individual championship when Joe Wiendl, in the 160-pound division , had little trouble in piling up a 14-1 decision over John Ericson of Albright. The Colonels came right back with their second individual title when Dick Cook successfully defended his I 67pound crown with a 13-3 victory over Roy Resavage of Temple. The Colonels' Fran Olexy had qualified for the finals with a victory in the afternoon, but had to forfeit his match due to a shoulder separation suffered in the afternoon's bout. Fran won the bout despite being hampered with this injury midway through the semi-final match.

Furthermore, Olexy entered the tourney with injured ribs which forced him to miss the last two meets of the season. In the last ten seconds of the match, Olexy suffered a shoulder separation. but he finished the match . He was forced to ferfeit his final match to Piper of Lycoming whom he beat last year.

XXVI, NO. 16 King's prolessor holds night class by Joyce Lennon "Ten years ago something like this wouldn't have happened." Dr. Hugo Mailey by this statement was referring to the presence of Dr. Donald Buzinkai on the faculty of the College Evening School. The novelty of Dr. Dr. Buzinkai Buzinkai's position lies in the fact that he is also a member of the history and government department at King 's. During the day he teaches at King 's, and on Monday evenings, he conducts a class in Soviet government at the College. Dr. Buzinkai is teaching this course in response to an emergency situation at the College. Previously, Dr. Bronis Kaslas served as instructor for the Sovie t Government course, but due to his taking a leave of absence a vacancy occurred. Since no one on the College faculty was able to teach the course, Dr. Buzinkai agreed to accept the position. This arrangement does not indicate the emergence of a teacher exchange between the two schools. It is, however, an indication that the barrier between the two is lessening. This is a first , not necessarily one in a series, and not necessarily the last. As Dr. Mailey commented, "I wouldn 't say it's a beginning, but I wouldn 't say it's an end." More time is needed to judge what the result will be. Registration The num'ber of Wilkes College students preparing to teach in public schools is increasing. The education department is preparing to cope with this increasing demand by requiring students to apply for admission to the teacher education program during their sophomore year. Any sophomore wishing to enter the program may apply during a two-week period which began on Monday, February 27. Application forms may be secured from Mr. West, director of student teaching, in Room 41, Parrish. His hours for this purpose are 9 to 11 :30, daily until March 10.

Her daytime off-campus attire consisted of a black and white hound's tooth checked coat with off-center buttons, a straight basic black sleeveless wool dress and black patent leather sling-back heels. In the evening category of the contest, the best-dressed coed, escorted by Tom Ambrosi, wore an empire styled floor-length sleeveless gown with a pale tourquoise chiffon skirt and a pale yellow, moss green, and pale turquoise embroidered bodice. The back of the gown had a Boating panel attached to the bodice by a small velvet turquoise bow. She wore matching moss green heels and operalength gloves. Leslie carried a yellow nosegay. Pictures of the Best Dressed Coed, in each of her different outfits, were rushed to New York to meet the deadline for the Glamour contest. After receiving a congratulatory kiss from Rich Roshong , who represented the Lettermen, she received a dozen red, long-stemmed roses and credit for a hair styling at Michael Quare 's studio. Like all the other finalists, she also received a charm from AWS. Suzy Kallen, president of A WS and chairll)an of the affair; her assistants, Cathi Biderman, Joni Kirschenbaum, Suzi Rowland, and Rona Kalin, stated to this reporter that they felt the contest was a success. Leslie Calamari by Irene Norkaitis Leslie Calamari, a junior fine arts major from Fords, New Jersey, was recently chosen the campus' Best Dressed Coed. She won the title over nine other girls, who were also chosen semi-finalists on the basis of poise , posture, clothes sense, and good grooming. Liz Slaughter was named runner-up. For her campus ensemble, Leslie chose a long-sleeved, plum poorboy sweater with a checked plum and offwhite hip-hugger skirt. She wore Teachers, students see different course needs Various students and faculty members were questioned by the Beacon survey team concerning what curriculum changes they would like to see initiated at the College. The faculty responses are as follows: Dr. Philip Riz.w: A course in Greek drama , supplemented by a course in Greek culture for a basic understanding of the classics in the context of their morality. After all, tke Greeks were geometricians of matters moral. Mr. Kanner: A seminar in applied psychology is needed for psychology majors to correlate knowledge of the various courses in this field. Miss Charlotte Lord: A seminar course is needed for senior English majors. The subject area of the seminar would be decided by selected students in the area they felt most needed in-depth study. Classical literature is a field that English majors find they are deficient in as evinced by performance on Graduate Record Examinations. Dr. Mizianty: As far as courses are concerned, I think that there should be more required science courses for nonscience majors simply because they need them. Mr. Hapeman: Geology, astronomy and demography should be given as courses because they involve both Editorial, p. 2 Friday, March 3, 1967 Practice teachers enter area schools by Irene M. Norkaitis A total of 70 student teachers, 44 secondary and 26 elementary, started their practice teaching on Monday, and will be in area schools until April 21. Public school districts which are co-operating with the College are: Wilkes-Barre, Wyoming Valley West, Wyoming Area, Central Luzerne County Jointure, and Nanticoke-Plymouth Township Jointure. The College's student teaching program provides two experiences for the student teacher. For a period of four weeks, the student teachers have courses at the College supervised by the education department, and for the remaining eight weeks, they are assigned to a cooperating teacher from the local school districts. Finally, they return to campus for the remaining four weeks. Those practice teaching in elementary schools are: Linda Kuligowski. Marilyn Goodman, Larry Major, Richard Kopko, Vivian (Vicki) Ronan , Sharon Barbett, Carole Thomas, Antoinette Supchak, Joseph Adomiak, Jo Ann Kostrab, Vernie Shiposh, Helen Smereski , Mary Ellen Zwonick, Caroline Traigis, Cheryl Traverse, Sandra Grinzi, Rosalie Leone, Marilyn Klick, Joan Wronski, Richard Roshong , Maureen Savage , Janice Karpinski, Joan Stanziola, Cheryl Tarity, Terry Bienkoski , and Valma Major. Those teaching in the secondary schools are: Tanya April, Susan Baker, Howard Bombe, Sylvia Carstensen, David Cowan, Walter Dalon, Get it in the ear - theory and application. They deal with the real world, the scientific study of what really happens as opposed to experimental methods, or, for example, the results of the controlled environment of production lines. Mr. Kaska: We need a creative writing course. This is certainly necessary for interested English majors who show potential in the field of creative writing and want to develop this potential to its greatest possibility. Mr. Stein: There are many on campus as a whole, but speaking for my own department, I think that there should be more courses on commercial art design and lettering . Also, we must delve deeper into the courses that we have. Initiate advanced courses. There should be courses on figur e drawing. Our students are not taught enough to go on to graduate school, only to go on to a teaching career. Our problem lies not in filling in an inadequacy, but rather in improving the existing situation as it is now. Dr. Reil: Spelling , because they can't spell. The students interviewed replied in the following manner: Joe Koterba: I think that the College should institute a plan whereby the male students of the College are given the opportunity to participate in the ROTC program. In this way the unnecessary pressure of the draft would be eliminated. This would also prevent spending time after graduation in preparation for the military. Herb Godfrey: There should be a degree offered in physical education. T'his would not hurt the academic rating of the College. The present lack discourages many students from coming to Wilkes. Ed Burke: The school should create a course in physical therapy. This is a growing field which demands a great number of skilled professionals. Marian Melnyk: A degree in journalism should be offered at Wilkes. This would provide English majors with an opportunity to enter a specialized field. Many students who would like to major in English at Wilkes enter other fields because of the limited career openings that would be available to them. Kathie Hannon: I would like to see more two-year certified terminal programs offered. I also think that if you are exempt from a subject, you should receive credit for that subject instead of being required to substitute another. [Continued on page 2) Clark Bromfield, Bette Neroda, and the Brandewine Trio provided entertainment after each of the three categories in the contest. The other finalists and their escorts were: Barbara Dorish and Roger Brewer; Margie Fishman and Joe Wiendl; Elizabeth Hughes and Joe Frappoli; Leslie Marino and Bruce Comstock; Linda Mead and Fran Olexy; Barbara Ohlin and Rich Beatty; Sharon Parker and Bill Stinger; Liz Slaughter and Dave Thomas; and Darlene Van Meter and Bill Layden.

Summer school 1n Israel The State University College at Oneonta is offering an eight-week I %7 summer session course from June 26 to August 23, on "Modern Israel " to be given at the new campus of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Approved by the Foreign Study Committee of the State University of New York, the course is open to undergraduate and graduate students who meet the entrance requirements of the State University College at Oneonta . �Friday, March 3, 1967 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Laugh, Laugh, Laugh ruling criticized by Joseph Brillinger At Monday night's mee ting , Student Government was confronted with a problem which is, at one time or another in theory, a problem to any organization or individual. C .C.U.N . requested f,unds to send ten delegates to a New York convention. The SG constitution s tates that a club can receive either $10 per delegate or a total of $125 for all the del egates, whichever is less. In this case since C .C .U.N. is sending ten delegates, then the most that they can receive is $100. C.C.U.N. had already received $30, so they were now entitled to $70. But this $70 is not enough to defray the remaining cost of some $95. A motion was made, however, that based on a 1963 precedent in which two delegates received $26, we allocate $95 to the club, instead of $70 as determined by the constitution. But this was immediately argued because such a motion was strictly opposed to the terms of the constitution. Divided on these two alternatives, SG voted to give C.C.U.N. only $70. The decision has been reached in this case, but the problem does not necessarily s tand solved. Perhaps a change in the constitution is needed. As was observingly pointed out by the president of C.C.U.N. (and I hope the other members of Student Government took note of this) , $10 per delegate may be slightly out of whack with regard to the present. It is believed .·that this $10 per delegate rule was formulated several years ago. Mr. Z ~browski pointed out that in the few years that he has been here , the application fee for this same convention has risen $6. The logical conclusion is then , should not the constitution try to change and give with the times? c~uc::,HT, .... oR. , , , , n-u: STPAW8eAA Y T\.4"T COtJCl10Ei~t> Tt46"" WOR.Lt>, ~E\...1..0 'FeL-IC.I A,,, , , \.-\~L-LO ?/! Is THAT i\LL. S~'I? \4 ~~e WS A2E "" Definitely, yes. but . . . Changes take time and no one can expect a constantly up-to-date constitution. I think this should be our goal. although we can not hope to fully succeed. In this case I think the rule needs a serious re-examination. I thank C .C.U.N . for bringing this problem to the attention of S .G . Even Student Government can be wrong . .. or at least a little behind the times! And more ... The recently established Council of Club Presidents, according to Barry Miller, is progressing and has already established a constitution. The organization, designed to standardize the role of clubs and to serve as a liaison between SG and clubs, has proposed ethical standards for its own behavior through the newly formulated constitution. Regarding SG's continued attempt to integrate all factions of the College, it was reported that Dr. Farley would receive a joint recommendation from the administrative council and SG proposing a tri-party committee, composed of students, faculty and Administration. Mike Hamilton and Tom Kelly are presently formulating structural plans for another tri-party committee that would review cases that might be objects of controversy or questioning. Both co-chairmen were given a vote of confidence to proceed with the plans and subsequently to submit the blueprint to Dr. Farley. The Folk Festival, scheduled for March 14. is presently being planned by committee chairman Jean Marie Chapasko and co-chairman Odie Raviv. The first rule of life is to believe that the truth is really the absurd. Expect the lowest common denominator most of the time and your expectations will bear fruit after the branches of reality have pointed the way. To believe that the ideal should be is the fastest way to insanity. Therefore, no one ~hould have been surprised, shocked or dismayed to learn that the CIA has been financing the NSA, or the National Student Association. Is it really so ludicrous to imagine that an arm of the government would be supplying funds to an organization going on record as supporting the legalization of marijuana, the withdrawal of American troops from Vietnam and other assorted stands which are constantly gnawing at the stomachs of the right-wing elements in our society? The BEACON, therefore, would like to go on record as predicting that the CIA and not the Russians have been financing the Viet Cong, Mario Savio, and even Ronald Reagan. Actually, all it takes to understand the world is a sardonic sense of humor. Then you can live. Students take it • the ear Recalling that it should be the policy of the College's newspaper to comment on the happenings around campus, the BEACON wants to take an official stand on the jukebox in the old ca£. And then we will have variations on that theme. (So maybe it's a lousy pun, but lousy puns are BEACON editorial policy.) At first we could not believe our auditorial vehicles ( the first rule of bad writing, to which this paper is also dedicated, is to always split an infinitive, use a circumlocution. We digress; we guess.) that we're actually hearing the Mamas and the Papas, the Rolling Stones, Donovan, Simon and Garfunkle and other assorted panderers of this generation's alienation. Anybody will do anything for money. So that's almost a pun. What is really significant about the jukebox is that the Older Generation, the Administration and Dr. Rei£ have unwittingly contributed to our schizophrenia, the dropout rate, the War in Vietnam (so who's going to study now). Obviously, they do not know what they do. No one minds this expression of paternalism, and we £eel the Administration should know it. Tt-le VEC2.6&' OF JvUC.1..cA-R~OL.OCMJST") \JJFL.

Taking an active part in this organization are Wilkes, Kings , Misericordia, WilkesBarre Business College and Penn State Center. Miss Susan Davis, director of volunteers at Red Cross. has been very prominent in helping the College Youth by setting up various committees to help organize forthcoming activities and in preparing an "International Room" designated for the College youth by the executive board of Red Cross. The room will feature displays and posters from all over the world. The first activity that the Youth Committee will sponsor is an " international reception" to be held on Friday, March 3, 1967, at 7:30 p.m. in the chapter house on South Franklin Street. This is for students from out- side continental United States presently living in Wyoming Valley. There will be a speaker who will encourage the students to become familiar with the International Red Cross Organization and to make use of its facilities whenever they have need. At the reception each student will have his picture taken and his voice recorded as a gift to be sent to ·his family . Refreshments are planned. Members of the youth organization are: Harry Shovlin and Bob Herman, Kings College; Barbara Sode and Kathleen Soracco, College Misericordia; John T. Tomczak, Penn State Center; John Butler, Jr., Wilkes-Barre Business College; and Richard Maye, president; Antoinette Supchak, vicepresident; Mary Beth Lucas, secretarytreasurer; and Arthur - Trevethan, Wilkes College. Dr. Byron Rinehimer of Penn State Center is chairman of the College Youth. Future plans of the youth committee are to organize the various college blood drives and a possible outing to be held at Hayfield House in Lehman.

The loss brought the cagers' final season record to 6-15. Dickinson was led by six-foot, nineinch freshman John Dotti. Dotti used his height and some fine accuracy to score 34 points, 22 of th em in the first half. One step behind was the Colonels' Reuben Daniels who had 33 points in the game, 22 of them in the second half. Reuben hit 15 out of 2 I from th e field to boost his field goal percentage for the season. Also scoring in doubl e figures was Dale Nicholson with 19.

He hit his scoring peak of 27 points against Susquehanna after getting 26 points against Madison FDU and 18 points against Moravian. In the season's finale at Dickinson he scored 8 points while sitting out most of the contest because of personal foul s. At 6'1" Smith is one of the shortest forwards in the MAC, but he still manages his share of rebounds by utilizing his sense of timing. Smith's all-around aggressive play has sparked the team to some of its top p erformances of the season. Since mid-February he has been hampered by a face guard protecting a broken nose which he sustained in practice , but despite this guard he has reached his scoring peak. His combination of long set shots and moving jump shots forced opposition to guard him more closely, thus making it easier for the rest of the team.

Luckily, the Colonels had built up a wide margin and were not hurt by the five forfeit points. Moravian In their last dual meet of the season the Colonels notched their twelfth victory by downing an outclassed Moravian squad, 25-12. With pins by Matviak and McCormick, the Colonels held a 10-0 lead and were never headed, even though Moravian took the next three bouts to make it, 10-9. Joe Wiendl, with the Colonels' third pin of the night kept Wilkes out in front. Dick Cook and BEACON remain MAC champs The Colonel grapplers, defending MAC champs, are out to make it seven for eleven. Since the MAC championships were started a decade ago the Colonels have won six and are once again favored to repeat as MAC champs. This year the MAC's will be held at Moravian. Weigh-in was held today at 8 a .m. Elimination bouts begin this afternoon at I p.m. Tonight at 8 p.m. the quarter-final bouts will be held. Tomorrow will see the survivors going at each other at I p.m. in the semifinal bouts. At 7 p.m. the consolation matches will be held, which are to be immediately followed by the final bouts. Twenty-three teams are competing this year with a total of over 200 grapplers. Five wrestl ers are returning this year to defend their titles. In the 130pound class, Don Milone of Temple will be after his third straight MAC crown. Last year he and Wilkes' John Carr were named co-winners of the outstanding wrestler award. Joe Wiendl Lycoming, runner-up last year, will have Mitchell returning to defend his 137-pound crown. In the 145-pound class, West Chester's Dowhower will be returning. The host school, Moravian, will have its own defending champ, Dave Mucka, who last year took the 177 -pound crown. Last year the Colonels had three individual champs, but only one, Dick Cook will be returning this year to defend his 167 -pound title. Dick's toughest competition should come from Lycoming·s Mel Fleming, whom he defeated last year in the finals, 13-5. Cook, in his one meeting with Fleming this year, lost a close 6-5 decision. The teams to beat this year should be the same ones who finished in the top five last year when Wilkes was first with 74 points, Lycoming with 69 points, Temple with 63, West Chester with 52 points and Elizabethtown with 29. Having a fine sea;;on this year and one of the strong contenders for the 160-pound crown vacated by John Carr is the Colonels' Joe Wiendl. Wiendl has lost only one of his bouts this year in dual meet competition and that by a 3-2 decision. Visiting Colonel sports fans could very possibly witness back-to-back wins by Wiendl and Cook as the Colonels chalk up their seventh MAC championship. Mermen slop SI. Joe's lor their initial victory The Colonel mermen registered their sole victory of the season by edging St. Joseph's College, 46-41 , in a recent home meet. The aquamen, however, suffered defeat at the hands of Elizabethtown College, 63-32, and Dickinson College, 37-58, giving them a grey record of 1-8 for the season. In their truimph over St. Joseph 's, the Wilkesmen scored five of eleven possible first-place wins. Accounting·. for these were Jim Phethean with two, Dick Herrmann and Jon Valentine with one each, and the 400-yard freestyle relay team which consisted of Jim Pirino, Wayne Wesley, Bryn Kehrli and Phethean. Throughout the meet the lead bounced back and forth between the Colonels and the mermen from St. Joseph's with Wilkes entering the final event with a twopoint disadvantage. The Colonels however captured the final event, the 400-yard freestyle relay , for seven points and their first victory. ley and Phethean. The Colonels met with tough opposi tion from the perennially strong Dickinson squad, this year"s MAC defending champion. The Wilkesmen did not fare so well against Elizabethtown and Dickinson. In the Elizabethtown meet the hosting Blue Jays garnered the lead in the first event of the contest and remained in front throughout the meet. Wilkes' Phethean, a constant first-place winner, accounted for one of the Colonels' two first-place wins in the contest. The other first was captured by the freestyle relay team which consisted of Kehrli, Pirino, Wes- Th is weekend Lavery, Wesley, Kehrli and Phethean will represent the Wilkes mermen at the MAC tournament being held at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland. Phethean, who has seven first-place wins to his credit, claims two new school swimming records, was a member of a number of winning relay teams, and was a high school swimming champion, should prove quite valuable to the Colonels in garnering some honors in the tournament competition. ceuEIE H11dqu11rte11 for Lettlred WILKES JACKETS CHARMS- RINGS BROOCHES MINIATURE RINIS ACE HOFFMAN LEWIS-DUNCAN SPORTS CENTER AND Studios and Camera Sllop 11 EAST IIIAIICET ITREET CHARM BRACELETS PORTRAIT, COMMERCIAL AND WILIIES-IAIRE FRANK CLARK Your S,erts H11d11uerters fer aver ZS years.

Approval sought lor honor system by Carol Okrasinski M embers of th e student body will cast their ballots Tuesday and W ednesday, F ebruary 28 and March I, at the two cafeterias and the snack bar on the referendum of the Honor Code. Their decisions will determine whether or not the policy of academic integrity will go into effect. The members of the committee hope that this policy will help to bring about the long-hoped-for student-faculty -Administration cooperation. In order to be established as a policy of the College, the code must be accepted by a quota of students exceeding the simple majority . Gerald W eber, a member of the committee, states that there must be an honorable environment at the College if it is to remain a mature edu cational institution. "Since we will have to fac e responsibility of this na ture during our professional lives, there is no reason to assume that we can't or shouldn 't accept it now. It is time for all of us to re-evaluate ou r• selves and the environm ent we live in. Anyone w ho lies, steals, or cheats, in my estimation, has no place among us here at the College. If you accept this statement, you have accepted academic integrity." Letters have been sent to all students by the committee to remind them of the importance of this referendum ; copies of the Honor Code have been made available at the Bookstore and at various locations on campus. The Honor Code will only deal with infractions such as cheating, plagiarism, etc. It will definitel y not be a social code. The initiation of this policy will bring about the creation of a student Senate and a stud ent Honor Court. The Senate will pass sentence in those cases w here a violation of the Honor Code has been verified by the court. This is a student-initiated and studentrun system; the only participation of the Administration is in the case that a student 's expulsion may be reviewed by the President of the College. The Committee on Academic Integrity was formed October, 1965. The committee is composed of five representatives each from the administration , the faculty and the student body. The purpose of the committee is to study the responsibility of th e three groups toward each other and toward the College itself. Dr. Cox is chairman of the committee. Matt Fliss is chairman of Subcommittee A, the student phase, whose major program is the Honor Code. Students are strongly urged by the committee to accept their responsibility to vote. It realizes that success of th e Honor Code depends on students' approval and th eir promise to abide by the policy of academic integrity. EDITORIAL WE SHALL OVERCOME? Perhaps, the student body of the College has not yet really understood the significance of the vote on the honor code. This referendum actually is being used as a barometer by both the Administration and the faculty in determining whether or not the student body can demonstrate some capacity to assume responsibiliy. Whether or not students can bring weight to bear on decisions made in Administrative and faculty circles very definitely depends upon a LARGE turnout in the referendum on the honor code. Whether the proposal is passed or defeated, then, is not as important as the excercise involved. A significant vote turnout on this issue is of paramount importance; please do not express disapproval of the honor code by refusing to exercise voting privileges. If there should be a small turnout, ALL is lost. Which means cigarettes will never be returned to campus. Which means dorm curfews will never be liberalized. Which means . . .

XXVI, No. 15 Music dep'I., C and C present plays lo public Tonight, at 8:30 p.m. in the C enter for the Performing Arts, is the opening performance of Cue 'n Curtain's twin bill of one acts, Sorry, Wrong Number and The Telephone. Additional performances will be given Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. and Sunday at 8:30 p.m. Bo th shows represent a unique departure for Cue 'n Curtain because of their contrasting stories, which are both based on the frustrations one encounters sometimes when using the telephone. Also, this marks the first time that th e music department and Cue 'n Curtain have collaborated to produce a show other than the largescale mu sical presented every two y ears. The Telephone, which is being directed by Richard Chapline, is a comic opera depicting a talkative young woman who refuses to get off the phone long enough to listen to her boyfriend, who wants to ask her to marry him . Mr. Chapline is the voice instructor at the College, as well as director of the mixed chorus and the Madrigal Singers. He recently directed the chorus of Camelot. The lovers in The Telephone are being played by two senior voice majors, Barbara Liberasky and Robert Sokoloski. Miss Liberasky is director of the Women 's Chorus as well as a member of the mixed chorus. Sokolowski is the director of the Collegians, member of the mixed chorus and recently played King Arthur in Camelot. The accompanist for the opera is John V erbalis, a senior piano major who has played with the Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic. All three plan to enter graduate schools in the fall. Sorry, Wrong Number is a one-act suspense play being directed by Jan Kubicki. It tells the classic story of the efforts made by a woman to prevent a murder which she has over- Pictured above are John Verbalis, accompanist for THE TELEPHONE; Richard Chapline, director; Barbara Liberasky, female lead; and Bob Sokolowski, male lead. heard being planned on the telephone.

Alfred S. Groh is acting as production supervisor; Myvanwy Williams, dramatic coach; and Joan Tymchyshyn, technical consultant. Free tickets may be secured at the Fine Arts Center box office all day today and one hour before show time on Saturday and Sunday. Students' lox relief sought Senator Abraham Ribicoff (D-Conn.) recently introduced his bill to give tax relief to parents and students who pay the costs of a college education. The proposal provides an income tax credit of up to $325 on the first $1,500 of tuition, fees, books, and supplies. It would go to anyone who pays these expenses for a student at an instiution of higher education. The measure this year has picked up strong support; it is co-sponsored by 46 senators from both political parties and from all sections of the country. It is the same measure Ribicoff has introduced in previous Congresses with one exception: An amendment would include coverage for students in accredited post-secondary business, trade, technical and other vocational schools. �WILKES Page 2 COLLEGE J.ette,-, Abide Abide It is a long-established tradition at the College to denounce the food that the dormies must eat in the cafeteria as the worst served anywhere. And the BEACON has wholeheartedly upheld this ancient and honored tradition in spite of assurances that all institutional food is tasteless, monotonous, etc., etc. It is not true that all institutional food is as boring as that. We have it on good word that the University of Pittsburgh's cafeteria serves kosher food, which everyone knows is delicious, as well as three or four other dishes for the students' choice at each meal. As an interesting sidelight, the Pitt students at one time hated their meals too. So they picketed the cafeteria and refused to eat there until the authorities capitulated and changed caterers. But to get back to the point, that the general consensus is that the caf food is lousy and that our editorial policy is that the ca£ food is lousy, we thought we finally had one on Them when it was reported to us that about half the dorm students had contracted food poisoning. We had a whole smear campaign laid out when our plans were squelched by a confirmation that it was an intestinal virus and not food poisoning after all. Needless to say, we abandoned our campaign in dismay. But we have not given up. All things come to him who waits. Minority Report The editorial policy of the BEACON is to support the honor code on campus. There are, however, two diverse opinions among those who work on the paper. This is the minority report. Cheating does occur on Campus, but it is not really as widespread as supporters of the honor code would have you believe. The honor code will probably, because of statistical facts, not work at the College. It would take a great deal of assurance to report a person for cheating and what if the first cases were made "examples" to show that the students would police their own. Would you like to be one of the first cases? If people are innocent until proven guilty no one will be found guilty; if people are guilty until proven innocent many people may be harmed by one malicious liar. The minority feels that the current system can be made more efficient than the honor system that has been proposed could ever be. V#HAT • lNHERE • lNHEN Friday, February 24, 1967 BEACON t, et/it,,- Bock ciggies discussed canned music Dear Editor: Alas! Alas! Alas! It had to come to pass. Th e Comn;10ns now has a juke box. Spurred on by the success of its piped-in Christmas carols during the Yuletide, the powers that be no doubt thought that it would be a good idea to have music in 't he caf all year 'round. Not to mention the fact that while one concentrates on the Supremes, one tends to forget about the crap that he is eating. Since the P .R . office's record collection was limited only to Chris tmas music, a juke box was only logical. Besides, that way it would be th e students who pay for the music and not the Administration. The Administration could also· then collect a pe rcentage of the take from the juke box, thus killing two birds with one stone . And maybe lowering th e tuition because of th e collected revenue. But, I digress. When I first saw the machine being wheeled in, I thought perhaps it was a cigarette machine in disgu ise. But no. It dispensed "Georgy Girl " rath er than brightly colored packages of instant oral gratification. If we can 't have cigarettes, we'll have music. Perhaps it is hoped that the music will have the power to charm the savage beast of nicotin e within us. But anyway , the advent of th e juke box leads only to speculation. Will the tables be moved at lunchtime to provide room for dancing? Will this mean th e end of the Friday night dances and thus wreak havoc on the SG social calendar? Will Sophie have to tear off her white uniform and replace it with three pasties to doubl e as a cook-go go girl? Will Gerard appear topl ess? Who knows? One can only sit back and enjoy the music and wait. A Well-Respected Man P .S . When I wrote my diatribe, I did not realize that th e Commons doubled as a Student Union at night.

Trotskyite leaders included Ta Thu Tau, Duong Bach Mai and Tran Van Giau whose nam es appear now and again throughout the era. In th e year 1941 there was a roundup of Communists in th e area south of Saigon. Three thousand were arres ted , and as y ~t, no one can tell the numb er that escaped detection. This was eleven years after the formation of the party. With th e end of World War II and th e withdrawal of the Japan ese forc es, a power vacuum was created which the French could not fill before th e Communis ts took over. Ho marched on Hanoi and made it his headquarters. A fi erce and bitter rivalry ex isted between the Trotskyites and Communists in the south and Ta Thu Tau was assassinated and Tran Van Giau was soon deserted. The Trotskyites defeated th e Marxists in th e south and united with th e Nationalis ts in the freedom fight . The southern military leader (a Marx ist) Nguyen Binh was liquidated in 1952 on direct orders of the North Vi et Minh high command. Th e Communists in the North reformed , and in 1952, formed th e Lao Dong or Communist party with Ho Chi Minh as 'their leader. In two years th ese forc es controlled all the territory north of the fourteenth parallel, but the Geneva Conference divided Viet Nam at the seventeenth parallel, placing Hu e and Da Nang in th e southern country. South V iet Nam , or Vi et Nam Cong Hua, has an area of 65,948 square miles and a population of a'bou't 15,700,000. North Viet Nam , or Viet Nam Dan Chu Cong Hua , comprises 61,293 square miles a nd has a population of 17,800,000. The Communists withdrew 100,000 troops north of the line, but left some 5,000 behind for futur e use. The Diem regime began in 1954 and by 1955 was persecuting everyone who thought differently than it did . The underground flourish ed in such an environment and its strong holds wer~ at Chaudoc near the Cambodian border and at Long Xuyen in the rich Mekong Delta region. By 1959 it was apparent that Diem was in trouble . The Lao Dong decided to support the fighters in the South. This led to the formation of the Vietnam Cong San (the so called Viet Cong) which had a minority of Communists in its numbers. In September , 1960, Ho was removed as head of the Lao Dong but was retained as pres ident of North Viet Nam. Le Duan now lead the Lao Dong.

We 'll see who has the last laugh! " J.P.: "Calm down! What about that burning bush? Do you experiment with LSD often?" M.: "God spoke to me." J.P.: "Hearing voices, too?" M.: "Yeah, but only accompanied by burning bushes." J.P.: "All right , let's press on to another one of your numerous inanities. How about that little forty-year 'excursion' into the desert, huh?" M.: "But that was an accident." J.P.: "You· re pretty well-known for your accidents. If you were being responsible for the lives of all those people, the least you could have done was get some maps from the A.A.A:· M.: " How about when I parted the waters? That was a pretty slick job! " Red Sea's always that low this time of year. Besides, you were probably so raunchy after wandering in the desert for forty year$ that the water wouldn't even touch you." M.: "Wait a minute, Joe. You 're getting pretty personal! " J.P.: "Ah, go soak your beard! Now you'll tell us those tablets you wrote in the mountains were God's Laws. What kind of tablets were they big five or loose leaf?" M.: "I did not write them. God did and they were clay." J.P.: "I don 't know about you people, but I can 't stand any more of this moronic person. We 'll be back in a minute with our next guest who professes to be the greatest sailor since Popeye; some guy named Noah." J.P.: "Don't give me that, you 'd own slaves too if you could afford it! What do you do for a living, are you a cat burglar? I notice you're wearing all black. " A.L.: "I am a lawyer." J.P.: "Where did you go to college?" A.L. : " I am a self-taught man." J.P.: "You mean an untaught man. I've heard enough of this (why can't I get a guest as wonderful as myself?) . I'll have my first guest right after our station break." Announcer: "You're listening to W-YC-H, the bad taste station. We have to have bad taste to carry The Joe Pine Show. Channel 13 on your dial. And now - here he is again to show that crudity can be fun - Joe Pine." J.P.: " My first guest is a rabble-rousing, religious fanatic of questionable birth - Moses. He will be speaking to you from his home here at this fashionable Red Sea resort." M.: "Good evening, Joe. Mr. Pine, must protest your disparaging remarks about my heritage." J.P.: " Is it not true that you were found among the bullrushes in the Nile, an unwanted child?" Pase 3 Go Go Gauguin At a recent exhibition of my paintings I was watching a woman visitor very carefolly scrutinizing my work. There was an air of bewilderment about her as she looked out of the lower section of her bifocals at my paintings, then walking back about five paces would peer at them out of the upper lenses, and smile very quizzically. This little minuet went on for some minutes as she moved about the gallery, pausing now here and there, a liftle while longer with some than with others until she reached me. Flushed by the excitement of the dance , she looked up at me, slightly adjusting her glasses, said, "You must be Mr. Richards." I said, " How do you know?" She smiled, "You look like an artist." "Just what does an artist look like?" I said. CAe,-,.~ CA,p Cox loses again courses. A charge of $2.50 per hour is shared by the Junius Society and the tutor. Buoyed by its recent experience, the Junius Society is hoping to expand this service to other areas of instruction. A bus trip to the Allentown-Bethlehem area is being planned for April. Interested students will visit reconstructed historical sites during the morning and will participate in an oldfash ioned country picnic in the afternoon. Efforts are being made to locate a band in the Allentown area to provide music for this occasion. The next meeting of the Junius Society and the International Relations Club will be held Tuesday at 11 a.m. on the second floor of the Wyoming Historical Society, located behind the Osterhout Library. ~ With that for openers, the game seemed a little tame for I had expected some stimulating denouement. Stepping back a pace or two as if to get a better perspective and size me up, she said, " I never saw sky that color. And why do you paint those flat forms and those patterns of strong color?" "I think nature is quite abstract, depending on how subtle you are with its interpretation. Haven't you ever heard about the synthesis of nature? The theory of art that Emile Gauguin fostered and which, incidentally, was his most important contribution to the world of art." "No, the movie was adapted from a book by Somerset Maugham about the life of Gauguin. But you know those Hollywood movies and how they can distort and destroy whole truths." "Well," she said, "it was in color, just simply beautiful color. And on a wide screen, too. " I had just begun to get the feel of the content of thought which I was going to expound to . . . " What did you say your name was?" Dr. Harold "Hire the Handicapped" Cox prepares to meet his pie. by Patsy Moir The annual Cherry Tree Chop, sponsored by the Lettermen's Club, was held recently, and music was provided by the Rising Sons. In the log sawing contest, Bill Leyden and Bruce Comstock emerged the victors over Dean Ralston and Mr. Evangelista. Even after the Lettermen had sawed their log in half, the faculty persevered, completing their log only seconds later. Dr. "The South shall rise again " Cox was defeated by Jay Holliday in the pie-eating contest, but not without protest. Dr. Cox claims that while his hands were being tied, Jay was sneak- ing bites from his cherry pie. He remedied this situation, however, by calling in his aide, Sharon Going, who promptly pushed Jay 's face into the pie and began to hand-feed pie to Dr. Cox. In retaliation, Jay called on three of his fellow Lettermen , who promptly helped him fini sh his pie and enabled him to beat Dr. Cox. The choice of the winner was left to the audience, who promptly gave Holliday thumbs up, notwithstanding threatened failure in Dr. Cox' History 102 course. The dance was considered a success by all the Lettermen, who invited Dr. Cox to try again next year. f ,-ep,,-tJ Activity forms explained by Tom Kelly The present members of SG welcomed the newly-elected Freshmen representatives to their first meeting. These new members are Bill Bennett, Katie Eastman, Dan Kopen , Odey Raviv, and Joe Thunnell. Following the meeting, SG members attended the academic integrity committee meeting. At this lengthy meeting the advantages and disadvantages of an honor code were discussed. Although it is not within the realm of this report to discuss the details of the honor code, it is my responsibility to reflect the desire of both SG and the Academic Integrity Committee. It is the desire of SG that each student will think seriously about the honor code, will formulate his own opinion of it, and will honestly express his opinion by voting either for or against this unique proposal. As chairman of the calendar committee of SG, I would like to clarify a procedure discussed in some of our recent meetings. Near the end of the I stood waiting for some great revelation that would be an intelligent and scintillating answer, for how else would one want to start a conversation. My hair isn't long, I wash frequently, my tie wasn't red or a wispy ribbon, my suit was conservative. Then her eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "It's because of your pink shirt." "Who did you say? Gauguin? Didn't he make a movie, something about a 'Moon and Sixpence'?" Laughing slyly, she said, "And didn't that Frenchman Gauguin have a go at those South Sea island native girls?" Lecture series starts in March The Junius Society, in cooperation with the International Relations club, has organized a lecture series to begin in March '67 and continue through the spring of '69. The series, entitled "Conflicts of Peace," is intended to stimulate the educational process by offering the student body, the faculty , and members of the community an opportunity to hear and question indiviouals of diverse countries , to better understand their domestic and foreign policies, and to increase their awareness of each nation's role in world politics. Each program will be held at the Center for the Performing Arts and will begin at 8 p.m. Programs already organized include: "The Problems of a Small Country in This Modern World" with guest speaker Mr. J. P. van den Bogaert, the director of the Netherlands Information Service in New Yark, and "The War in Viet Nam" which will feature Mr. Do Lenh Tuan, first secretary of the Observer Office of the Republic of Viet Nam to the United Nations. The former is slated for Wednesday, March 8, 1967, while the latter is scheduled for Wednesday, April 5, 1967. Future programs include a study of "Civil Rights: Private vs. Public Rights" and lectures by the United Arab Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany. There will be no admission charged at any of the programs in this lecture series. The Junius Society has also undertaken two tutorial programs. The first, designed to aid all students of the College engaged in taking history courses, will be offered free of charge to interested students. A room is being sought on campus where this service can be administered. Each student will receive qualified training in each of the areas where help will be given, and, in addition, up-to-date research source files are being gathered to assist students seeking primary and secondary material for term papers. The second tutoring program, begun last semester, is aimed at helping high school students in their level of history "Well, " she said, hedging for a minute, trying to think of an interesting reply. spring semester of last year. " calendardate request forms " were sent to every campus organization. These were completed and returned to SG. During the summer months, the calendar committee, diligently complying with the procedure described in the constitution, formulated the activities of the school calendar. Letters were then sent to the presidents of all organizations informing them of the dates of their o rganizations ' activities. Throughout this year the. ~hairman of the calendar committee places an "activity form " and a " chaperon report form " in the mail box of every organization several weeks prior to that organization's scheduled activity . (Constitutionally, this is not necessary because it is the organization's own responsibility to obtain an "activity form" from SG.) The " activity form" must be completed and returned to the SG mailbox in the Bookstore one week prior to the activity. Thus, the "activity form" can be approved by SG and/ or the SG president and by the chairman of the calendar committee. By returning this completed form , SG knows that the scheduled event will be conducted and that it will be properly chaperoned. This "activity form " is then filed in the SG office for any future reference. The chaperon may, at his convenience, complete and return the "chaperon report form" to Gordon Roberts, director of student activities. It is SG's policy to fine organizations one dollar per academic day that the " activity form " is late. ( A memorandum to this effect also accompanies the "activity form ." ) This policy had to be imposed because many clubs were neglecting to return their activity forms. We do not want to act like publicans and impose a fine on any club. If you are a chairman of any activity, please cooperate with us by returning your form on time. If any organization President desires a more detailed explanation of the above procedure, please contact me personally, or attend our SG meetings. The woman looked at me and said, ·1 didn 't say." " Well, it really doesn't matter, but as I was saying . ..

Do you know how it feels to see your father talk to a lemon tree? My father was taken away three days later. I was filled with hate. All I had left was a lemon tree. Do you know how it feels to go to the Cub Scout Father and Son Dinner with a lemon tree? My hate grew until I couldn't control it. I took my ax and ran at the tree. I swung the ax, and I heard someone say, "Stop!" I looked around - there was no one there. The tree had spoken - the tree had spoken! My father wasn't crazy! I was so happy; I hugged and kissed that glorious talking tree. Lemon juice drenched my skin; bark stung my tongue and got caught between my teeth. Wait a minute - my father 's rotting away in a sanitarium and this tree is talking! I took my ax and hacked it down. I heard laughing. I turned. A cherry tree was laughing. I suddenly realized the cherry tree was a ventriloquist. Laughing, I chopped the cherry tree down. A cop started yelling at me, "Did you chop that cherry tree down?" I yelled, "No .. . I don't care if I never become president! " �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 'Page 4 • Per-capita income discussed al CIS by Klaus Loquasto The Institute of Regional Affairs at the College recently conducted the fourth session of its Community Leadership Program at the Irem Temple Country Club. The prime objective of the leadership program is to enable government to operate more effectively so that the "renaissance" of Northeastern Pennsylvania may develop soundly. The program is designed to accomplish this task by drawing together local community leaders and national authorities and by sponsoring a seminar in which they can discuss problems of area development. "Planning for Excellence in Regional Development" was the problem of _this month 's -seminar, and it was introduced by the principal speaker, John H. Cumberland, Ph.D., professor of econ;,mics at the University of M~ryland. Edgar Lashford, executive vice-president of the Chamber of Commerce, and Robert De Young, assistant professor of economics at the College, were the local resource personnel assisting with the discussion period. One of the propositions de signed to create discussion was: There · is " .. . one basic problem in ~he econ- omy of Northeastern Pennsylvania . This is a current and persistent insufficiency of income per-capita." It was stated that four major factors were responsible for the income insufficiencies: an over-concentration of employment exists in low-wage-paying industries; the investment of capital in industries is low; relatively small industries predominate, causing uneconomic use of capital; and managerial talent, especially in the "middle management group," is lacking. Such proposals are designed to stimulate thought, not to "spoon-feed" a point of view. The Community Leadership Seminar allows discussion of these topics in an informal atmosphere, and it is aimed at the people who are likely to be the leaders ten to fifteen years from now. It is hoped that with prepared business leaders, the predicted renaissance of Northeastern Pennsylvania will become a permanent reality. The Community Leadership Seminar is made possigle under a Title I grant of the Higher Education Act of 1965 made to the Institute of Regional Affairs at the College.

By 1962 Communism was back in South Viet Nam in the form of the People·s Revolutionary Party which acts as a co-ordinator between and among all-pro-Communist, anti-Saigon, anti-American groups in the whole of South Viet Nam and the North Vietnamese groups. This party had 100,000 members by July, 1966.

T-hese are the facts; the conclusions are for you to make. (Continued from page 2) Presidents' Council Dear Editor: As it should be known by now, a Council of Club Presidents has been formed on campus. This council is made up of the thirty-four existing clubs which should mean representation of all Wilkes students. This council has two main areas of concern: inter-club sharing of ideas and experiences and acting as a liaison between clubs and SG. The first area of concern is quite important, and its results are quite obvious - friendly communications! T-he second area has many new and hidden implications and deserves some careful deliberation. Presently, this council is without any official power to rule on any club's affairs this may change! It is known by many that some clubs are very weak and practically non-existent until it comes time to ask Student Government for money for an intercollegiate function (sometimes turning out to be a strictly social affair). It is also a fact that certain clubs are not living up to their constitutions. Now that the group to bring forth and to help alleviate most of these problems has been structured, a "new awakening " should take place among all club officers, all club members, and Student Government. It should become a ruling that weak and inactive clubs must prove themselves worthy and purposeful in the eyes of the council and of SG if they are to deserve recognition and consideration for funds from SG, who gets money from you, the students of the College.

Regulations are posted in Conyngham Annex. people only subtly insinuate. The only fault with his comment is that it is based on a multiple of fallacies and total lack of historical perspective. It is fallacious to attribute the views of the IRC Forum writer on Rhodesia to the policies of the whole Beacon. The comparison of the beginnings of the U .S. government in 1776 and the beginnings of the illegal Rhodesian government in 1965, despite the two centuries and a great deal of differences in circumstances, has no virtue except one of coloration. The supremacist and master race concepts, which are the backbones of the Rhodesia government, have served the world with its tragedies such as the world wars and , of course, the Rhodesian situation. To support such ill concepts, and to maintain that four million people be sacrificed to the whims of a few white supremacists in Rhodesia , because doing otherwise would be ignoring the history of the U .S., shows lack of integrity and faulty moral ap praisal on the part of the writer. The author of the letter should have also specified what Africans he was referring to in his attempt to discredit the IRC article. There are only three Africans at the College who might be flattered if their popularity is sought after, but such popularity would be of little practical importance since they form about 0.2 percent of the student body. On the other hand, I can give him a money-back guarantee that no Africans outside of Wilkes College know of the existence of the Beacon, let alone read it. That leaves him no basis for discrediting the article as nothing else but a naked attempt to seek African popularity. Was it then just one of those indirect victimizations hurled at the Africans one frequently meets? Barron Mkwaila, African Student HONOR CODE Dear Editor: Having read the questions raised at the recent meeting of student leaders with Academic Integrity Committee, I detect what I think may be an unhealthy trend in the proposed hon or system. It appears that the honor code will eventually broaden into a non-academic, social code. I definitely agree with the academic honor system; if students want to be allowed a hand in matters affecting them, they must first accept the responsibility of governing themselves. Let me, however, give a somewhat exaggerated example of what may happen if an additional social code is accepted. The consumption or possession of alcohol on campus is forbidden . But a student may consume off campus, if he is of age, legally. From one point of view, the student is a representative of the College wherever he goes and therefore subject to the social code. From another, he is an individual who should be allowed to have a private life on his own time. In this case, a potentially unwieldy social code could cause much strife. Of course, this type of code may not be enforced; if so, what good is it? I urge the acceptance of a code; but I urge that the code be expounded more fully. Sincerely, Klaus Loquasto �Friday, February 24, 1967 WILKES THE HIGH POST by Walt Narcum A week ago Wednesday we witnessed some spirited action at the East Stroudsburg-Wilkes meet. Sad to relate, not all of the action took place on the mats. The outbreak of hostilities in the stands was quelled luckily at its onset, and the action was not allowed to escalate. We would not like to imagine what could have happened had things gotten out of hand. Men, women, and children could have been seriously hurt in the bleachers which are treacherous enough without their being the scene of action best left to the mats. It is understandable that tempers should flame when Colonel fans witness their team's receiving an unusual setback. However, thinking students should consider the consequences of their actions before instigating action w hi ch could make them even sorrier than last Wednesday's loss at the hands of East Stroudsburg. This brings us to an unpleasant fact which Colonel fans must accept if they are to be realistic. The Colonels are not going to win every meet or game in which they will participate. False rumors have been circulating that Wilkes has an athletic factory. This is not true now, never was, and probably never will be. Our success this year has not been due to a high caliber of athletes who have come from the valley and who have been attracted by Wilkes' high academic standards. To the best of .our knowledge, there isn't a single Wilkes athlete here on a full scholarship! Wilkes puts out amateur athletic teams as opposed to some of the professional teams put out by other colleges. For those who aren·t aware of the difference, we would like to explain. Many schools will field a team, all of whose members receive full tuition, room, and board, plus 15 dollars a month for laundry. These players will also hold down pseudo-jobs for which they receive additional compensation. For instance , at one Pennsylvania school , an athlete was held responsible for making sure that the football field had not disappeared from one week to the next. A pro-player would be impressed by the displays some colleges put on to a'ttract outstanding high school athletes. One school flies high school sen iors to their campus and then puts them up at a hotel during their visit. The athletes are provided with guides who are given a large wad of money to make sure that the athlete wants for nothing during his stay. The high school athlete is also provided with "dates" to make sure that they won·t get hom esick during their visit. Even the policies of the highly respected Ivy League schools are not immune from professionalism. Outstanding athletes are given preference for admittance on the grounds that there is more to college than education. Once an athlete is in an Ivy League school, •he is assured that he will never have to drop out for financial reasons. Wilkes is not a " factory ." We may not win every contest in which we participate, but th en, we're not paying the price. COLLEGE E. Stroud lops Wilkes lor their lirst setback The Wilkes grapplers were riding along with a 9-0 season's record before they met the East Stroudsburg Warriors. The Warriors displayed awesome power in downing the previously unbeaten Willtes Colonels by a 26-3 score. The Warriors took eight out of nine bouts in remaining undefeated on the season. The Warriors were the last team to turn the trick against the Colonels. Although the Warriors took eight bouts, they were only able to muster one pin throughout the night. The pin was registered by East Stroudsburg 's Bushong when he pinned Jim McCormick in I: 17 of the first period . The Colonels didn 't register -their first win until the seventh match of the night when Dick Cook claimed an impressive 7-0 decision over Czahor. Things were really cooking last Wednesday as another Cook, this time from East Stroudsburg, came back to turn in an 8-1 decision in the penultimate bout of the night. In all but one of their eight victories, the Warriors were in complete command. The most spirited bout came when previously unbeaten Joe Wiendl took on Dalgewicz, who went on to pull out a squeaker by decisioning Wiendl, 3-2. In the final bout the Colonels' Fran Olexy suffered his first defeat of the season when he was completely outweighed by East Stroudsburg's Metle r. Dickinson Last Saturday, the Colonel grapplers rebounded from their loss to East Stroudsburg by soundly trouncing Dickinson, 34-3. The tables were turned this time as the Colonels won light matches, whereas Wednesday they lost eight bouts. Five of the Colonel wins came via the fall route. Steve Kaschenbach , Joe Wiendl, Dick Cook, Barry Gold and Fran Olexy all registered pins. The win brought the Colonels' record to 10-1. Tomorrow night at 8 p.m. the grapplers will be away at Fons discussed Dick Cook, this week's athlete of the week, avoids a shutout by easily winning via the decision route 7-0. Dick has suffered only one defeat this year and that a 6-5 decision at Lycoming. Cook captures honors lor his brilliant work This week the Beacon honors Dick Cook as Athlete of the Week. Junior co - captain of the wrestling squad, Cook has proved to be the best of an outstanding team . Against East Stroudsburg, C ook brightened an otherwise dismal night with the Colonels' only victory. He brought his record to 9-1 on Saturday with his second pin of the year. His only loss was a 6-5 decision to Lycoming's Mel Fleming. This is Dick's third year as Wilkes· starting 167-pounder, and from his first match he has shown great promise. Last year he helped Wilkes take the MAC Championship by carting off the deciding victory in the finals against Lycoming 's Mel Fleming. To top off a great sophomore year, he was named an All-American honorable mention. This year he is expected by Bob Thompson to retain his MAC 167 -pound title and is given a good chance to gain an NCAA crown at the tournament which will be held on March 9 and 11 , at Wilkes. Cook is a history major from Kingston, Pa., and he was an outstanding wrestler at Kingston High School. D ear Editor: On behalf of the wrestling team and myself, I want to thank the student body of Wilkes College for the wonderful support they gave us at the East Stroudsburg wrestling meet. The a'ttendance of a good percentage of our students and the enthusiasm that they displayed was very gratifying . I would also like to congratulate our students on the way they handled themselves during the meet. By not stooping to the level of the visiting students, which was disrespectful and at time downright disgusting , you showed the difference between solid citizens and village idiots. The wrestlers and I were very proud of you and although we lost to a very good Stroudsburg team, who incidentally deserves all the credit in the world for their performance and behavior, we hope that next year when we wrestle them , we can make you as proud of us.

The Colonelettes took the lead early in the first quarter and kept it throughout the game. Each team made 14 fie-Id goals and the Wilkes team won on free throws, making 15 of 27 from the line. A few days later, the Colonelettes lost to undefeated Muhlenberg, 34-26. The first quarter ended in a 16-5 lead for Muhlenberg, and Wilkes was unable to catch up. The Colonelettes were outscored from the Boor, 13-12 and from the line, 8-2. Outstanding player of the game was Muhlenberg's Cathy Bailey with 25 points. The Colonelettes traveled to Marywood for their first away game of the season and again defeated them, 37-32. The Colonelettes took the lead early in the game but Marywood came back in the third quarter and took the lead, 28-27. A good defensive effort on the parts of Wilkes' guards, Jani e Millen and Janie Rifenbery, kept the Marywood squad down to 4 points in the fourth quarter. Wilkes lost their second game, 5330, to undefeated Misericordia. Miseri's defense kept the Colonelettes' field goals down to 9 w hile they hit for 22. Last Saturday the Colonelettes went to Bloomsburg and lost their third game, 42-39. Bad passing and the loss of two forwards through fouls lost the game for the Wilkes squad. Although Wilkes scored 15 field goals to Bloom's 13, and both teams made 50 percent of their field goals, the Colonelettes •had 23 foul s called against them to Bloom's 15. Monday, Wilkes played Albright in their last home game of the season. The Albright squad kept the lead until the third quarter, but the Wilkes offense scored 13 points to Albright's 9 in the last quarter, winning the game, 35-34 . Teams shore honors lor intramural lead With about one third of the season completed, three teams are still leading the Intramural Basketball League. The Nutcrackers, Wing F, and F Troupe have all attained unblemished 4-0 re cords. In last week's games, Wing F won a close contest over the Scrubs, 55-52. Gillespie had 18 points for the win ners while Jim Sabarini led the Scrubs with 15 markers. With steady shooting from Joe "Bronco" Garro, Snoopy's conquered the Aces, 65-62. Garro had 32 po in ts for Snoopy's w hile Dan Drahus led the losers with 20 markers. In another game the Trojans took the measure of the troubleshooters, winning easily , 65-31. Rich Simonson led th e Trojans with 17 points while Repshas had 12 counters for th e Troubleshooters. we;ei,::. ou~ w~srut.l" re~M 1.-0ST T'HE\L .SE AS oiJ TO Fl /2.ST 6Al'-\c OF nte' me: ?O\AJ I:: e. ~v \... ~ST S-r2ou1>S'8~1U:r s~uAO. t\i.JD Y~, Wo~\...D u,"'~ WotJl)e12.'FVl.

The result was a quick ten points and Wilkes was only down two, 53-51 . It was nip and tuck until the last two minutes when the Colonels went ahead, 61-60. Foul shots by Smith and Ockenfuss put the game out of Moravian's reach. Daniels led the scoring in the second-half surge and finished with 26 points while Smith had 18. they tied the score at 72-all with three minutes to go.

With only nine seconds left, Susquehanna gave Wilkes almost an open path to the basket and Ruben Daniels scored a goal at the buzzer. Jim Smith hit his season's high of 27 points on 13 of 19 shots from the field and one from the foul line. Daniels had 16 points, 15 of them in the second half.

On Monday the basketball squad lost a heartbreaker to Susquehanna University, 81-78. Displaying the teamwork and polish that beat Moravian, they fell behind the high-scoring Crusaders, almost pulled it out in the last mi.n ute, then finally succumbed. "Ou~ Guys" L~~-r by Bob Thompson In the past week the basketball squad added one win and two losses to its record with a 65-60 conquest of Moravian and losses of 71-64 to Madison FDU and 81-78 to Susq uehanna. In the second feature of the February 15 double-header, the cagers dropped another class contest and again because of the difference from the foul line. The Colonels took a slim margin to the locker room, but a mid-second-period surge by Mad ison FDU gave them the edge which the Colonels were not able to overcome. With five minutes to go, Madison began to freeze the ball, and Wilkes was forced to foul them to stop the clock. However, Madison converted all of them and left with a 71-64 victory. Jim Smith had 26 points for Wilkes and continued his fine playing. The Colonels then took their second MAC contest with a 65-60 victory over Moravian on Saturday. Agiinst a tough Moravian quint, the Colonels played one of their best games of the season despite a cold hand early in the second half. Moravian led 43-31 at the half, mostly on the shooti ng of 6'6" John Fore who had ten points in the first half. Bob Ockenfuss picked up his fourth personal midway through the period, giving Fore control of the boards.

R epresentatives from the Academic Integrity Committee and Bob McGuire and Ted Lew is, judges on the honor court at Muhlen berg College, spoke to and answered questions from the assemblage. McGuire and Lewis stated that since its inception in I 961 , the honor system has worked extremely well at Muhlenberg. The code covers both academic and social aspects of college life, and infractions of the code are judged by a court which consists of ten judges and a pres ident. This court has full authority over all stud ent organizations, including the student council. McGuire emphasized that the honor code was a student-originated and backed pl an , and that since its inception , th e decisions of the court have been backed almost one hundred percen t by the administration of th e college. Under Muhlenberg's system, students are asked to report themselves as well as others. A student's behavior all year long, in all situations, is suhject to punishment if it re8ects ill on the school. This system is different from the one presently proposed at the College in that our honor code would deal only with infractions such as cheating, plagiarism, etc. Wilkes' code will definitely not be a social code. After the s tudents from Muhlenberg finished their explanations. the floor was opened to questions from the audience. Some of the queries were: How many cases do you try annually? At least 20. What problems do you find most diffiicult? We sometimes cannot decide on a just punishment for an offense. What is the usual punishment for c:heating? The student is expelled for either one or two semesters. Does the offense go on his record? D e finitely . It would if he were caught cheating under any system. What is the degree of cooperation the svstem gets from the other two main ,bodies on campus? The administration and the faculty cooperate Kingston, Pennsylvania.

Sixty-five girls and their dates danced to the music of the Symphonettes in the holiday atmosphere. Refreshment s consisting of punch and cookies were served. ICG sets up $100 fund by Zig A. Pines The Intercoll egiate Council on Governm ent announced at the rece nt Student Government meeting that du e to its last successful dance a $100 scholarship w ill be set a side for any incoming Wilkes fr eshman for next year. Such action marks th e fi rs t tim e an organi za tion will use its profits to sponsor a scholarship fund . The only stipulation for the scholarship will be that th e reci pient, from a local high school. should demons trate definite leadership potential. Matt Fliss, Student Govern ment president, designated a committee composed of ICG and SG membe rs to initiate the program. Another important aspect of th e mee ting was Mike Hamilton 's proposal that a committee, involving faculty and Administration members , a s well as students, should be organized to review school polici es and happenings and consequently make needed recom mendations . Such a proposal is part of a continued effort by SG to involve the stud ents more directly in school policy making. Matt Fliss announced that a new report from th e Academic Integrity Committee. subcommittee B, is available for all students and can be obtained from Mr. Roberts ' office at Chase Hall. The essential result of th e committee's action is the recommendation that students a nd faculty should serve in every committee within the school rather than having many committees restricted to faculty and Administra tion members. TDR 's request for money for its two sponsored teas was granted. The teas are given to incoming day -hop girls who have been accepted by the College. The money will be used primarily for posters and invitations. The third anual hootenanny, chaired by Jean Marie Chapasko, promises to be more like a music festival this year. The hootenanny will be open to all students and to all types of performers. Letters of invitation have been extended to the area colleges. Approximately $150 will be awarded to the four winners. Any student wishing to participate in the hootenanny is urged to contact Jean Marie Cbapask!.> or to submit a note in the SG mailbox. The final item of business was a warning to clubs to turn in their activity forms on time in order not to complicate the social calendar. A few clubs have already been fined. �WILKES Page 2 Smoking is a Dear Editor: I am writing to complain about the absence of cigarette machines on campus. In an age when educators across the country are proclaiming the absolute value of cigarettes as a study !!id, this is nothing short of criminal. There is a health factor here, too. I, myself, have had two nicotine fits, on the edge of the campus, trying desperately to reach a cigarette machine. The second of these was quite serious. Only the fast-thinking response of a chain-smoker who was able to breath smoke into my lungs, kept me from going out. You can imagine my added consternation in finding that our school insurance does not cover nicotine fits. Such is the double-edged sword of prejudice wielded by our archaic Administration. Stephen Robertson '68 Dear Editor: It should be gnawing at you students as to the reason the referendum for the honor code was postponed from this week until February 28 and Feats COLLEGE Neither Here Nor there health aid March I. After serious consideration of the situation the Academic Integrity Committee made this change. The first reason is that the freshmen were preoccupied with elections last week. Secondly, and more important, is the fact that at this date only a small minority of the students know all the facts pertaining to the proposed honor system. Until the entire campus is informed, and each student has sufficient time to arrive at an intelligent position on this matter, a referendum can be of little value. If you have not received a copy of the constitution for this pr.oposed code at last week's assembly, you may pick one up at the Bookstore. The voting will take place at the three cafeterias on campus, and sufficient advance notice will be given before the referen- dum. It is difficult to verbalize the importance of this matter and its meaning to you. Make no mistake about this, the referendum coming up may very well be the most important election you participate in at Wilkes. The stand you take is your prerogative, but get the facts! Gerald F. Weber of Clay We see that the popular press is scolding Mohammad Ali again. It should surprise no one by now. The press is always making poor excuses for any fighter, good or bad, that Ali fights. There can be only one reason for this practice: Ali is not the traditional sports hero that America has grown to expect. Ali holds unpopular views, and the press is hoping that somehow 'God will punish him' or something. Perhaps it is time that we realize skill has something to do with success and give some credit to someone who is undoubtedly tops in his field. \NHAT • \NHERE • \NHEN MANUSCRIPT FILM - EARRINGS OF MADAME DE ... , - CPA- Tonight, 7p.m. and 9 p.m. Friday, February 17, 1967 BEACON Dear Editor: Just a note of tribute to two loyal workers in white who have braved tremendous odds with surprising success during the Fall semester. Yeah, you got it! I mean none other than Sophie and Gerard , the caf connoisseurs who can be heard each weekday opening their show with "Cheeseburg" or " Yours Please," and a little soft shoe on the side ( like in the cheeseburg, would you believe!). Seriously, though, we must commend Sophie and Gerard for doing the work of four people for an entire semester. Especially commendable is the fact that, despite the odds, they handled the situation with a high degree of efficiency. I am sure that their employer has recognized their " work well done" and has rewarded them with at least something, like a full paid summer vacation in the Bahamas, or maybe even a free hamburg for lunch ( one per week) . At any rate, Gerard and Sophie, the students of Caf 824 want to express their thanks for a job well done. , Gerard and Sophie ► NOTICE ◄ Membership for the Biological Society will close Tuesday, March 7, in order to prevent students from joining just before a trip, etc. Recently, the Neither Here Nor There team took a trip down to New York (No, No baby! It wasn 't with the Art Club) and managed to get an interview with the junior senator from New York, Robert F . Kennedy, affectionately known to intimates as "mess.it-up Bob." First of all, we do feel we should explain how we managed to be ushered into the mahogany-paneled office with full length pictures of Jane Russell. You see, we know Jack Parr who pays the Kennedys to expose themselves. Or he used to. Now they pay William Manchester and some stupid Newsweek reporters. Anyway, Jack owes us a favor, see. (Once we invited him to speak at an assembly, but that fell through. He was anxious to come seeing as how Lady Bird began her career as Lady Bountiful by expressing her pleasure over how the area was pulling itself up in Stark 116 on a cold, cold day in January of I 964.) Since the Kennedys also owe him a favor, ( they still remember when most of the country was on their side) we got in. Now , don't think we're bragging about our connections with the washed-ups. But it does pay to be nice to people. Mailer, Griffin So we get into the office, right. First of all, we ask him about his college plans for his tenth child, who will probably be the first president of NOTHINGS There are not only forty types of coffee grown in Brazil, but there is also water drunk.

Once you start selling whisky, there 's no telling how far you can climb. Next, we questioned the Senator concerning his family's relations with William Buckley's friend, Norman Mailer, otherwise famous for his dirty book, now a play, Deer Park ( we don't think it's dirty, the DAR does) and assorted commentaries on the American scene. We reminded the senator that that genial Irish Catholic, Merv Griffin, had questioned Mr. Mailer concerning his closeness to the Kennedy family. Mailer denied this, but declaimed that the senator was the only man alive who could save America. The senator also agreed that their family was not close to America's only sane observer (outside of Buckley) but characteristically thanked Mailer for praising him. We agreed that he should, since outside of those liberals not thoroughly disgruntled with the senator, Mailer was the only friend he had at the moment. Seeing as how we charged the atmosphere by making that last comment, we asked the senator the question everyone is asking. How did he manage to bungle the Manchester affair. We asked him how anyone in his right mind could have agreed to hire a man known only for novels worse than those of John O'Hara 's. We did refrain from comparing the affair with the Bay of Pigs. The senator looked at us for a long moment , considered (we thought) kicking one of us in the shins, and finally answered , "Nobody's perfect. " The Cinderella Ball Then we asked him about his unofficial trip as official spokesman for US policy abroad. You know where - in Viet Nam. The senator denied that he was an unofficial official spokesman. He insisted that he was merely a concerned citizen, like Barry Goldwater, who wished to visit the area of involvement and talk with the people making some of the trouble like the French - since he had a job at the moment and Goldwater didn't. Finally, we fired our last question of the closed-room conference. W e asked him what the president said after he returned to Washington from his junket abroad . Bobby simply replied: " He talked to me." The junior senator would not answer further questions on the subject. He did smile when we asked him if the president gets angry when he sees him and is unappreciative of the favors Kennedy has done for him. (You know one cutting out some of those chapters.) Finally, when we were ready to leave, the senator asked if he could do us any favors. One of us said he could. He asked him for plane fare to Washington so he could visit the vice-president. When the senator appeared surprised at such an unusual request, Neither Here explained that the VP does nothing more than hand out engraved cufflinks with HHH scratched on them, and that he needed the links for the Cinderella ball coming up (Neither Here always has longrange plans) and that he ,vas sure to get them after he promised to vote for Hubert for anything. Kennedy smiled for the second time and wrote out the check. We decided we liked him and planned to write a letter to the Village Voice praising him. You see, Kennedy has no plans to cut tuition and decrease higher education allotments when he takes over.

The magnificent scene was interrupted momentarily when the lead canoe hit a snag, sending George Washington (whose real identity is still being sought) rather abruptly into the drink. But the land ing three hours later was still exciting despite the rather solemn dredging procedure that was going on for the president. To accentuate "Washington - The Surveyor, " a math major was supposed to have been selected to pinpoint the College as to the exact location, longitude , latitude, area , etc. His exhausting study was culminated in an informative lecture held following the infamous landing. A rather unfortunate situation did happen though when the I.B.M. computer popped a screw and coughed out the name of Marvin Smedlop - Frosh - cum: .91 instead of the senior - cum: 3.89 that was requested. The error was not a catastrophe though and the lecture turned out to be an extremely interes ting one. Who would have believed that Wilkes College is located 38° latitude, 255½ 0 longitude and slightly southwest of San Diego, California? Here on River Street the student body is still awaiting the arrival of the 30.000-pound cherry tree that the stu- By now most students are aware of the great honor that has been bestowed upon the College this month. For the first time in the history of the event, the George Washington Day WingDing Committee of the greater WilkesBarre area has chosen the Wilkes campus as the location of its annual celebration in commemoration of our beloved first president. Since this is also the first time this particular celebration has been held anywhere, the College will be putting forth its all in hopes that this will become a yearly event on campus. The festivities officially began this morning with the crossing of the Susquehanna by the faculty of the history department. Unfortunately, the department was unable to find a boat large enough to accommodate the eager throng and was forced to use three row boats, two canoes, and one kayak all held together by Dr. Cox doing his famous Southern "swim-for-yourlife" stroke. In spite of transportation difficulties it was a majestic affair as the uni- McDONALD'S HAMBURGERS WILKES COLLEGE BOOKSTORE MILLIE GITTINS, Man., 187 RIVER ROAD "CONDEMN THE FAULT AND NOT THE ACTOR OF IT." (CROSS ROADS) look for the golden arches . . . McDonald's San Souci Highway dents are planning to plant as a surprise in Dr. Farley's front yard. The dedication ceremony is scheduled for 3: 15 p.m. and the his.tori cal chopping down of the tree for 3:30 p.m. , followed by remarks by ·Matt Fliss on the honor system . The festive activities will be held through Wednesday, and it has been noted that advantage has been taken of the merriment and patriotic sentiment by various individuals of the College. Flyers have been found saying : "If you love your country, you·n love your college P. R. departrnent" . . . which no one understands, but the Republican club is looking into the situation. Also, Dr. Cox says that if he wins the pie eating contest tonight , he will take his Confederate-Hag-designed underwear off the Chase Hall Hag pole. Such tactics are rather unfa ir but seem to be working well. Various Washington-oriented activities are planned for the beginning of next week, but the highl·iJht will be Wednesday night when the WingDing Committee will officially close its program. The closing will be a spectacular firing of some faculty or Administration member ( please let me finish) from the very cannon on which George Washing ton slept. The Hying tribute will be grasping an olive branch in one hand, thirteen arrows in the other, and the American Hag in his teeth. Volunteer(s) for this honor are now being drafted. And as the figure disappears into the night air, and the Hag ( ?) descends from the Chase Hag pole, and the last of the tree splinters are removed from Dr. Farley's living room, the committee will withdraw from the campus with what we hope will be satisfaction from a flawless patriotic affair. - W.

The first production is the theatrical production of Lucille Fletcher's famous radio play , Sorry, Wrong Number. It concerns a neurotic, self-centered woman who accidently overhears two killers plotting cold-blooded murder for that night at 11 : 15. She unsuccessfully tries to have the call traced but runs up against a blank wall when she tries to persuade the police that a horrible crime is going to be committed . Heading the cast is Liz Slaughter playing the crippled, selfish woman. Miss Slaughter has performed in previous College productions such as Camelot, The Lottery and The Mad Woman of Chaillot in the latter of which she played the title role. She will also be seen this summer in the film version of the best-seller Up the Down Staircase. She is a junior psychology major from Flushing, New York, and plans a career in modeling. The student director for Sorry, Wrong Number will be Jan Kubicki, a senior English major from WilkesBarre. Although this is his first directing assignment, Kubicki has appeared in last year's Cue 'n Curtain productions of The Marriage Proposal, The Apollo of Bdlac, The Mad Woman of Chaillot and as Pellinore in the recent production of Camelot. His next role will be that of Iago in the drama department's forthcoming production of Shakespeare's Othello. After graduation he will attend Temple University for a masters degree in theatre. STUDENT LEADERS (Continued from Page I) Are all cases of cheating reported, in y.our personal opinion? Whether cases are reported or not is not really the point. The important thing is the character of the individual. Does the system work? Student polls indicate that it is effective. Did any increased student responsibility and privileges come about as a result of the honor code's success? Yes, as a matter of fact. We had no responsibility to speak of until after we adopted the honor code and proved ou'r willingness and ability ' to take on responsibility . Then questions were asked of the representatives of Wilkes. How similar will our system be to Muhlenberg's? Our system will be ac ademic only, not social. Then what does the phrase nonacademic cheating ( section 3B of the code) refer to? It would refer to something that happens on campus, like stealing from a dorm, that would not be known off campus. But isn't that a social in.fraction? Yes, it is, but if the objection is strong to anything that smacks of social rulings, we can delete it. It must be remembered that the honor code as it is formulated now is not in its finished form . This one is simply an idea of what one would be like. If the students agree to initiating a code at the referendum , then the form will be finalized. The upcoming referendum is simply for the purpose of sounding the students on their desire for an honor code.

The Colonels played one of their best games of the season, as always against Lycoming, but were unable to stop the Warriors on their home court. While the Colonels had trouble fiµding the mark , Lycoming had trouble missing, especially in the second half. Lycoming opened with a full court press, but the shooting of freshman Bob Ockenfuss soon stopped that. The Warriors wore down Coach Rainey's charges with their height advantage and accurate shooting. Chuck Sample was high for Lycoming with 32 points. He scored a goal from midcourt on a desperate throw at the half buzzer and also at the final signal. The big difference in the game was on the foul line where Lycoming picked up 20 points to Wilkes' 8. High for Wilkes was Dale Nicholson with 18 and Sharok with 12. The next day the Colonels traveled to Madison, New Jersey , and downed Drew University , 93-79. Coach Rainey, aware of Drew's prowess, started his second team.

" F" Troupe, last year's champs, racked up three impressive victories last week. First, they walloped the Indians, 76-46, on the steady scoring of Joe Koterba who popped in 23 points. Henry Gabrial led the Indians with 18 markers. Their next victory came over the highly-touted Trojans, 54-48. Mike Connolly led "F" Troupe with 20 points while Rich Simonson accumulated 15 points for the losers. Closing out their weeks schedule, " F " Troupe came out on top over National Garages by a slim margin of five points. Sparky Vinovrski led " F " Troupe with 22 points while Fred Bauer led National Garages with 23 points. In other top games the Nutcrackers shellacked the Hornets, 95-33. Harry Morgan set an intramural season high in that contest, hitting for 37 points. Paul Margis also aided the winners with 35 points. Hainna Hall vanquished the Trojans, 62-53.

The loss against five wins for The Colonels reached into their bag of tricks in an effort to stop the Royals. In the first half, the Colonels employed a one-man slow down offense which worked fairly well. The cagers set up a four man screen along the base line and let Reuben Daniels, alone outside, to try for a clear shot. The net result was Daniels' seven goals in nine attempts. This was coupled with a tenacious defense which kept the ball away from the high-scoring Rhett Jenkins , who had only ten counters on the night. The Colonels might have walked away with a victory except for the outside shooting of guards Moylan and Melofchick. They accounted for 22 of the Royals' 42 at the half. Midway through the first half, Coach Nat Volpe replaced Jenkins with Scott since Jenkins plays only offense and did little of that in the half. 10 S.

The few times he got the ball - after shouting at his teammates to feed hiM - he either missed or fumbled the ball. The Colonels, however, were unable to capitalize on Jenkins ' coldness because of their own. With less than a minute co go, Scranton held only a 6-point lead. They froze the ball, and Wilkes was forced to foul. Melofchick and Moylan both sank one pointers. With an eight-point lead the Royals could gamble on sending their guards long on Wilkes ' shots. The gamble worked and the rsult was three easy layups, one a't the buzzer, and that was the ball garpe. High for Wilkes was Daniels with 22 on 10 for 15 from the field .

The 5· I I " senior was elected by his fellow players to captain the team and has lived up to these expectations with his fine playmaking and aggressive play. Mike is leading the team in assists, but his greatest asset is his aggressive defense and ball-hawking. Against Scranton, he was assigned to guard Rhett Jenkins and managed to keep him away from the ball holding him to 10 points. Sharok is also a tough rebounder and often steals the ball from taller opponents. He displays great desire and always gives 100% effort.

Students polled on draft question Polls of college and university student opinion regarding the Draft were released by the United States National Student Association (USNSA) . Last weekend in Washington, D .C ., the results were presented to a closed-door conference of leaders from a wide variety of youth and student organizations who are looking for a unified support for an alternative to the present Selective Service System. "The results of a campus-wide referenda on over twenty campuses were strikingly consistent," announced Mr. Eugene Groves, president of USNSA. More than 90 percent of American students feel that a nation can be justified in conscripting its citizens into the military. More than 70 percent of American students are not satisfied with the present Selective Service System. More than 70 percent of American students would prefer to have nonmilitary service , e.g. Peace Corps, VISTA, Teachers Corps, as an equal alternative to military service. Over 60 percent of American students do not feel that students should be deferred just because they are students. Last November USNSA issued a call for campus-wide referenda on the re lation of the colleges and universities to the Draft and on various alternatives to the Selective Service System. " We worked especially hard to assure a wide diversity of types of colleges and universities in the polling sample," said Groves. "In this regard we were successful. The diversity of the schools responding makes the consistency of the results even more impressive ." Campus-wide referenda were held at: Harvard University, Simmons College, City College of New York, University of Minnesota , Goucher College, Brown University, San Francisco College for Women, Valparaiso University, Stetson College, Marquette University, Westmar College, Edgewood College of the Sacred Heart, University of Connecticut, Belarmine College, Mercyhurst College, College of Wooster, St. Mary 's College, Bennington College , Wartburg College, and the University of Michigan. Twenty-three campuses with a total student population of 99,000 have been included in the USNSA statistics. Approximately 31 percent, or 30.500 of these students actually voted. Another ten campuses conducted a survey of referendum, but the statistics could not be compiled in this sampling because of widely varying questions. The decor of the semi-formal will be dominated by red hearts and cupids. James Koz:emchak will photograph individual couples in front of a backdrop of a six-foot-high red heart and a three and one half loot high white cupid. Crested goblets bearing the T.D.R . insignia will be given as souvenirs of the memorable evening. Refreshments consisting of punch and cookies will be served. General chairman of the dance and chairman of favors is Alicia Ramsey. Committee heads are Beverly and Shirley Shamun , decorations; Sandi Cardoni , tickets and program; Pat DeMeo, invitations; and Gretchen Hohn, publicity. D ean Ahlborn, who is sorority advisor, Dr. and Mrs. Francis Michelini, Mr. and Mrs. Salvatore Rapisardi, and Mr. Peter Nitchie will chaperone the affair. President Toni Supchak has also invited the past presidents of the sorority to be the honored guests of T.D.R. Tickets may be purchased from any T.D.R. member or at the Bookstore for $3. Chairman Alicia Ramsey emphasizes that the affair is not limited to sorority members and that all students of the College are invited to attend. Officers of the sorority are Toni Supchak, president; Alicia Ramsey, vice-president; Sandy Cardoni, secretary; Marilyn Moffatt, treasurer; and Ruth Kachauskas, social chairman. Cox attempts to regain title Next Friday the Lettermen 's Club will hold their annual Cherry Tree Chop at the gym from 9 to 12 p.m. Music will be provided by the Rising Son's. Pie eating and log sawing contests, the traditional highlight of the affair, will take place during the intermission. Dr. Harold "The South shall rise again" Cox will pit his stomach against that of Jay Holliday in the pie eating bout. In the log sawing contest, it will be Bill Layden and Bruce Comstock of the Lettermen's Club versus Dean Ralston and Mr. Evangelista of the faculty. Manuscript lo present occloimed French film by Chris Sulat Manuscript will present its fourth film of the year a week from tonight in the Fine Arts Center. The film, entitled The Earrings of Madame De . . ., produced and directed by Max Ophuls, is based on the novel by Louise de Vilmorin. This French tragi-comedy stars three of Europe's most renowned performers: Danielle Darrieux (as the Countess Madame de . . . ) , Charles Boyer (as her husband), and Vittorio De Sica (as an Italian diplomat) . A pair of diamond earrings pawned by the countess to pay debts she has incurred without her husband 's knowledge, repurchased by her husband for his mistress, lost by her in a roulette game, bought by an Italian diplomat and presented to their original owner with whom he has fallen in love - become the symbol of the countess' pride, w ithout which she cannot live. 01 the film, Time has said, "A new cinema classic . . . not since Jacques Feyder's Carnival in Flanders has a picture tried so many things at once and brought them off so well . .. a bubbling little masterpiece of romance and French wit. " Saturday Review called it "A film of more than ordinary interest . . . as glittering and flawless as the earrings of its title." Dr. Philip Rizzo, advisor of Manuscript, reminds students that the club meets every Tuesday at 11 a.m. in Conyngham 209. A workshop has been initiated in which student compositions are gently considered for publication. Interested students are urged to attend the meetings. �Page 2 WILKES VOTE ON HONOR SYSTEM In a few days we will be asked to vote on an issue that is vital to our role as mature college students. Subcommittee A of the Academic Integrity Committee has formulated a voluntary honor system, the details of which are outlined on page one of this issue of the BEACON. We will be given the opportunity to choose whether or not we want it instituted at the College in a referendum on February 16. There has been some question, even among our editors, as to whether it is morally right to impose such a system on the student body. It has been pointed out that the obligation to "rat" on a person whom we see cheating is too uncomfortably similar to conditions in a police state where informers are a major means of destroying subversion. The point is that there is a great deal of difference between a subversive, whose views could conceivably be better than those of the powers that be, and a cheater, who is committing an act which is akin, and even worse than, lying about his own ability to do something, such as pass a test or write a term paper. Another objection, that it would be unfair to impose this system, by the votes of present students, on future students is also groundless. If this system is adopted, it will be made clear to all prospective students that Wilkes has an honor system and that they will be expected to subscribe to it before they even consider attending classes here. Then there are those who say it is an insult to our dignity to be asked to police ourselves for cheaters. The real insult is that cheating has become so widespread among us that it has to be checked. We have brought this upon ourselves. And we are lucky to even be invited to help curb and control it ourselves. At the University of Rochester it was finally decided, after a study similar to the one the Academic Integrity Committee here has made, that the final responsibility lay in the hands of the faculty and that all tests would be heavily proctored (by Pinkertons) and all guilty parties would be subject to severe punishment for multiple offenses. Significantly, this decision came after a student referendum in which the students took very little interest. Feeling that not enough students cared to help themselves, the faculty took matters into their own hands. We are being given the opportunity to use our weight as the largest, if not most influential, group on campus. If we prove ourselves by indicating interest, be it pro or con, then we may have the chance to do so again. If we display no involvement at all, then we will be excluded from taking any significant part in the maturation of the college community. NO CONTROL! REALLY! We really do not mind being talked about - for the right reasons. But when self-appointed Know-Nothings on this campus insist that the BEACON is told what to say by the Administration, we feel that we must take up the space to deny the accusation wholeheartedly. More than any other organization on this campus, we are in the position to reflect opinion and to present student ideas to the Administration. To slur our existence by insisting that we are mouthpieces for the Administration irritates us since all we can insist is that we are autonomous and hope everyone believes us. BEATING DEAD HORSES COLLEGE Friday, February 10, 1967 BEACON NEITHER HEBE NOH THERE ED's Note: What follows are the ramblings of a flighty mind. Being a student at Wilkes necessitates that one be a student of bars. There's nothing else to do on weekends and midweek! around here, you know. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that Student Government is too interested in finding a justification for its existence rather than sticking to its true duty of being tender to the social calendar. All this emphasis on defining terms has got to go, you know. Besides linguistic philosophers use their backs a lot. They don 't drink. Now we ask you which is more i~nocuous? Girls, do you want to take one of these bums home to mother or a nice social drinker like one of us? We know that your answer lies in the latter direction . Therefore , this column , dedicated to characterizing the local imbibing parlors, is to be put next to your heart (You know where, stupid. With the rest of your valuables and taxi fare .) . And so you guys can get paralyzed in a place that suits your persoriali ty. Let us start with the collegiate hangout - Donahue's Hour Glass. Dona- p hue 's is Wilkes' answer to the place where Louie dwells, and the tables down at Mory 's, and the dear old Temple bar. It's the place where the local in crowd cavorts and cavils. You know , Ben Franklin glasses. And the Hainna Hall hippies. Strictly a Wy oming Valley " 21 " Club. Lowe's Next, our tongue gu ides us to Wilkes-Barre's businessmen's and secretaries' hangout - Lowe 's. Lowe's, you know, is famous for "Rubber Mouth ... This place is also the stomping ground for those interested in the collegiate melting pot. One can always ,pot the white-socked witties (one of us has our prejudices) from the local Holy Cross College. Since we do have Lowe's, girls, what need of a cooperative library in order to meet guys? Over the river and through the par~ (watch out for the big puddles and the stop signs) we have Vispi's, that gay, exciting watering trough. Here one can participate in intellectual discussions on J.D. SALINGER. (Yeah, yeah, we know he's out, but pretty soon the area's hippies will begin comparing Bob Dylan to W. H. Auden and dis- Ip 0 NOTHINGS We 're all going to turn around and whoever stole the sun is going to put it back. The humor award goes out to the caf for the old "Tarantula in the Fruit Bowl " trick.

Poverty Pocket isn 't a typical game. The main idea is failu re. First there are the rules: I. Coal is king. 2. No free paridng. 3. The whole town must take part. 4. Oliver Cromwell rules of living prevail. 5. You must play in a smoky, dimlit room. 6. li you get a "go to jail" card you pay $10 to the cop or wait for Judge Roy Bean to come through. It is nice to see that the people running for office at the College are behaving like professional politicians; they are completely ignoring any issues of importance. Each candidate's poster tells us that he or she is "qualified" and "able" but there are no issues discussed or suggestions given for college improvement. Is the college this perfect and free from fault? Those who desire a position of responsibility should not be afraid to state their opinions openly, especially on matters such as academic integrity. It is too late to save this selection - perhaps next year students will get a chance to vote for something important.

NORTHAMPTON STREET STUDY Ed. Note - The following appeared in THE RETORT, the student newspaper of Eastern Montana College. Are you a student thief? Yes. In the light of recent national publicity indicating an increase in shoplifting among college students would you care to comment on why students steal? Well, kicks mostly . It's exciting. It satisfies a psychological desire to do something risky. Guys like to see if they can get caught, if they can pull something over on the clerks. How does one go about shoplifting? Well, the most important thing is being in the mood. You have to feel like doing it. You have to know your rights. For example, you have to know that a clerk cannot touch you while you are in the store. So you have all the time in the world to ditch the stuff, if you think someone is watching you. Everything is on your side and aga inst the storekeeper. While he 's busy you nail him. Stick the stuff in your coat, in your pants, front and back, under your shirt, in your sleeves, and as a last resort in your pockets. How would you g,o about stealing something like an electric shaver? First, you go in and look around, you have to know the store. You can tell if it's easy by its position. For example, if it's sitting on the counter it's kind of like stealing candy, but if it's in a case you have to be a little more ingenious. You go in with a group of guys and when no one is looking reach over and see if the door is locked. If it's not, then you know they probably don 't Jock them so you can either take it then or come back another day when you're in the mood . You just walk up to the counter, reach behind it, open the drawer and take the stuff. It's risky and you have to be quick, you also have to be good not to get caught. Mos t guys who get caught, get caught the first couple of times that they steal. I've stolen lots of interesting things, but I'll tell you about something I watched another guy steal right from under the eyes of the clerk. He wanted a pair of walkie-talkies from behind the counter so he asked the clerk to show him a watch that was in the bottom of the counter, and when the clerk reached down to get the watch ABROAD YEAR WILKES COLLEGE COLLEGE PREP, JUNIOR YEAR ABROAD AND GRADUATE PROGRAMMES.

Nurses: Columbia (March). he reached behind her and took the walkie-talkies. I know of guys who have stolen color television sets, rifles, jewelry, diamond rings. You just have to know what you're taking and how to get it. Would you consider crime as a profession? No. The college thief isn't basically a criminal. He wouldn·t rob a bank or anything; it's too risky , and the odds are against him. Stores are small, the odds are against the store not you. The risk isn 't very great, and the damn clerks usually don't care if you do steal. Why do guys steal in groups? They don 't necessarily, or at least don't. Sometimes guys just go to town for kicks or for a show or something and on the way home they find they have a carload of junk; everybody 's pockets are full. I usually work alone; clerks are usually wary of crowds. How do you rationalize shoplifting? I guess I use the old axiom "everybody does it." So many kids do it that it just doesn 't bother you. It's just kicks. But I wouldn't steal from someone who would be hurt. For example, I wouldn 't break into a house or use a gun or anything like that. Do you ever buy anything? Sure, most of the time. Sometimes you go into a store to buy something and a clerk or the manager will come up and burn you and you weren't even intending to steal, so you go back and take it anyway just to burn him.

The Colonels took 8 of the 9 matches, four of the wins coming on pins. The Colonels' only loss of the night came in the 152-pound class when Wilkes' Conologue was pinned by Peck. Registering pins for the Colonels were John Marfia, Jim McCormick, Nick Kaschenback, and Fran Olexy. The Colonels will be away at Lycoming tomorrow night. Lycoming has a tough squad and should extend the Colonels as they did last year in their dual meet and in the MAC championships. Next Wednesday night the Colonels will host East Stroudsburg. East Stroudsburg was the only team in two years to stop the Colonels in dual meet competition, and the Colonels will be out to avenge this loss. Results: 123 pounds - Marfia Snyder in I :20.

Jim has been a regular starter for the Colonel wrestlers for two years. This likeable sophomore is a business administration major from Hampton, New Jersey, where he was a state wrestling champion. He now resides in Kingston with his wife. He merits his selection as athlete of the week for his performance against Millersville where he registered his fourth pin of the season. Wrestling at 130 and 137, he is currently 7-0 for the season. As a freshman, he lost only once in ten matches and placed second in the MAC tournament. Winning consistantly at I i g h t e r weights, Jim is an inspiration to the rest of the team. Off the mat Jim is friendly and easy-going and gives the appearance of a chess champion, not a top-notch wrestler, but on the mat he is a fierce competitor with tremendous pride to go with his skill and strength. Jim can be counted on to help the College retain the MAC crown and possibly the NCAA championship. The Intramural Basketball League opened its season last Thursday with four games being played. National Garages beat Jive Five, 83 to 31 , with National Garages' Curtis and Bauer leading all scores with 21 and 20 points respectively.

F Troop, last year's intramural champs, walloped Snoopy, 86 to 33. Connolly led F Troop with 22 points. This year the intramural league is composed of a single league, rather than dorm and independent leagues. Currently there are 12 teams in the league. They will all play each other once.

Cagers gain lourth win by conquering .Juniata by Bob Thompson The Wilkes' cagers gained their fourth win of the season with a thrilling 71-69 victory 6ver Juniata. Down six points at half time, they came back to score the final two points with less than a minute remaining in the quarter. The Colonels showed the same teamwork and desire that they had earlier in the season but which has not been as evident lately. The game was characterized by some fine plays attested by a team total of 27 assists. Wilkes employed a 1-2-2 zone defense by playing aggressively and thus keeping the Indians from easy inside shots. Early in the game, this forced Juniata into many offensive fouls. Late in the game the Colonels resorted to a zone press with relative success. The winning desire of the team was personified by forward Jim Smith. At 6' I", a short forward, he played an aggressjve game, getting five rebounds and 13 points, but more important, he had several steals, jump balls, and set up a number of scoring plays. An important factor in the win was center Bob Ockenfuss. The 6'6" freshman has finally developed into a polished player. He scored eleven points, but more important, he grabbed 16 rebounds. Juniata had a taller team than Wilkes, but the Colonels still managed 40 rebounds. Ockenfuss guarded 67" Will Brandaus and he did an excellent job in containing him. If the desire and teamwork displayed against Juniata continues, the Colonels should finish the season in winning style. Bob Ockenfuss has developed into 1n outstanding scorer and rebounder under the guidance of Coach Rainey.

The annual event provided the student body with a brief respite before th e chaotic experience of registration the following day and the return to classes. During the day the students partici- pated in skiing at Camelback, skating at the lce-o-rama, or just relaxing at the Alpine Lodge. The activities of the day continued into the evening with dinner and dancing to the music of the Starfires. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of Liz Slaughter as Snow Queen. Her court consisted of Jaqui Rubin and Laura Tarity. Miss Slaughter was presented with one dozen long-stemmed roses. Queen Liz, from New York City, is a resident of Sterling Hall. At the College, Miss Slaughter is a member of Cue 'n Cu rtain , I.D.C., the Psychology Club, the Ski Club, and the Cheerleading Squad.

BEACON Friday, February 3, 1967 FIGHT - page 2 NEITHER HERE NOR THERE RETURNS page3 Courses, loiled again! By Chris Sulat Students descend on the faculty at registration. Rasool discusses space and society by Paula Eike The second lecture in the Community Lecture Series, ··contemporary Problems of Man, " was held yesterday in the Center for the Performing Arts. Guest lecturer was Dr. Ichtiaque Ra sool. staff scientist of the Institute for Space Studies, Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA, and New York Un iversity. The topic of his speech was "Science and Society." The main text of Dr. Rasool 's lecture dealt with how science has made su~tantial contributions to the evolution of modern society, while the social revolution itself has, in turn , helped the progress of science. But today, he feels , two of the most advanced societies have reached a frontier in science, namely the Space Sciences. He considers the possible repercussions of this new development on science in particular and society in general a fascinating question that provides a very fertile ground for the most imaginative speculations. Dr. Rasool feels that we are on the verge of a new renaissance of scientific thought. The origin and evolution of the solar system is one of the oldest unsolved problems in human philosophy. Eminent philosophers like Descartes, Buffon, Kant and Laplace have pondered over this problem and have put forth theories on the ongm of the sun and planets. Two of the theories which are most popular at the present tim e actually stem from the basic ideas put forth by these scholars. The first theory , which actually originated with Buffon in 1745, held that the planets were created during a near collision between our sun and another star. According to the second theory, which is originally attributed to Laplace but has recently been refined by Kuiper, Urey and Von Weizsacker, the formation of the planets is a natural consequence of the star itself. If the first theory were correct, then .o ne would expect that the planets could only be formed when two stars pass by each other in a near-collision course. In this case our planetary system must be almost unique in the universe because we know that space is practically empty and the collisions between stars are rare. On the other hand, if the formation of the planets is a natural consequence of the condensation of a star, then there could be numerous earth-type planets in this galaxy alone. Important clues to the answers of these problems will be obtained when the first astronaut brings back a sample of the surface of the moon, and a (Continued on Page 4) "I feel that this registration ran a lot more smoothly than did those in the past," said Robert S . Capin, registrar. ··out of a student bodv of approximately 1,960, 300 students registered two days early . The rest of the students started at 9 a.m ., and the gym was cleared of 1,600 by 3:30 p.m. The teachers ' lunch breaks were staggered , which also prevented the registration from losing momentum." The only definite change that occurred, Capin noted, was that the class cards had the students" numbers and names on them instead of class sections. This gave the registrar and faculty more control over sections. When asked why students who work for the school were permitted to register early, Capin replied, "I understood that this is what happened previously. It was overdone, and many students took advantage of it. The only way to avoid a repetition of the situation is to eliminate early registration." Th e registrar remarked that the most difficult part of the procedure was "' the confusion caused by pre-regis tration forms that weren't available and by students who forgot their comptroller's receipts.·· Capin, who is also head of both the evening and summer schools, and teaches in th e accounting department, noted that the larger departments were very co-operative in opening previously closed sections. In reference to why the number of sections was not adequate for the students taking the course, Mr. Capin said. "We can tell primarily how many sections are needed, but because of changes in rosters, difficulties often arise. " A large number of classes was scheduled for Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and many students have gone to Capin in the hope of changing inconvenient schedules. When necessary and possible, Capin helped them to rearrange their rosters, but, he remarked, "We will avoid any general p.o licy changes because of isolated cases. We are to blame for the crowding of classes into those three days. It was much easier to schedule them that way." Many students said that they would like to register by computers, although they did not realize that they would have no choice in scheduling the time of their classes. The registrar said. that he is definitely going to look into the possibility of using computers at the college but admitted that there are a lot of disadvantages to them. Capin also remarked that he would appreciate criticism as long as it is fair and _, constructive. In regard to the complaining done by students about registration procedures at the College, Capin said humorously , "This should be th e worst experience they ever have. " Dr. Campbell lo give speech on leadership The second of a series of three lectures on Community Government will take place on February 7. Dr. Alan K. Campbell will speak on "The Search for Political Leaders in Today's Metropolis." An informal luncheon meeting with discussion will take place from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m.. in the Faculty Dining Room. Since th e size is limited, interested students should contact Dr. Mailey for reservations as soon as possible . At 7:30 that evening , at th e Center for the Performing Arts, Dr. Campbell will deliver his address to the public; a reception at 9 p .m. will follow. The series is sponsored by the S & H Foundation Lectureship begun in 1960 as a part of Sperry and Hutchinson's Program of Aid to Education. The College received its grant because of its proposed plan of studying the problems in today ·s metropolis. A professor of Political Science and director of Metropolitan Studies Program in the Maxwell Graduate School of Syracuse University , Dr. Campbell rece iv ed his doctorate from Harvard University in Political Economy and Government. In addition, he has had articles published by the Harvard University Press and an article entitled "National State-Local Systems of Government and Intergovernmental Aid" published by The Annals, May 1965. �Page 2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, February 3, 1967 We Want Letters A pervading feeling on campus is that a student with a complaint to register or a question to ask faces noncommital answers, or worse yet, closed doors. It has been maintained that the doors of administrative offices are always open, and the BEACON has dutifully reported this assertion to the student body, albeit without much conviction of its veracity. Recently, however, our editorial staff received a pleasant surprise in the form of an invitation to a monthly question-andanswer session with Dr. Farley. At these luncheon meetings, we are encouraged to raise questions on any issue, and we are reasonably assured of answers that say something. We ask you to share this opportunity with us by directing any questions or complaints to our office, so that we may take them with us to the next meeting. We will publish Dr. Farley's replies in the issue of the BEACON following the luncheon. Nihil ad Absurdum There comes a time when we editorial writers find ourselves in the state of having nothing to write about. Nothing to get excited about. Nothing to explain, to praise, or to denounce. Therefore, we plan to start out listing those topics which bore us. No one wants to write about or hear about student apathy (we killed that topic early this year, remember?, when we said apathy is one of a student's inalienable rights.) And bad food in the cafeteria is a rather boring subject. Students do get tired of complaining about a situation which never seems to improve. We admit we have capitulated on this crusade. But at the same time, we know "their" tactics; therefore, our capitulation does not seem as bad. Curfews for women dorm students can only be improved when . . . Besides, most of us are dayhops; and we're all rocks and islands. Or so say Simon and Garfunkel. We never discuss Vietnam in our editorials. We mean, after all those college professors, priests, rabbis, ministers with their full page ads in the TIMES, can't make Johnson or even the other side see, what can we do? And the Pope has to contend with Cardinal Spellman, Bob Hope, Anita Bryant, and Joey Hetherton. Besides, civilian casualities and walking napalmed victims are to be expected in war. Or so says General Eisenhower, and he should know. We also avoid mentioning China in this editorial space. We figure that that country will be no real problem - at least for a year. The Red Guard (that's what happens when teenyboppers get too powerful. Parents of America, take warning!), frustrated actresses, psychotic Maoists, agitated technicians and other workers have all done their job rather well. And that's a victory for America, you know. Just like last year's slaughter of 300,000 communists in Indonesia was another American victory in the cold war. But, you know, we really do not like Sukarno. But that is a definite attitude, and we thought we were avoiding committment. The president at least is still characteristically boring. He's untouchable now that Bobby Baker is going to prison. "Pogo" will soon learn this and stop addressing Johnson as "Hi L." We also confess that we still get a little upset about Reagan, but that distress is soon fading. We don't want another letter from the Young Republicans. As far as Berkeley is concerned, it is also rather boring. The only thing that can save that campus is a blood bath, which unfortunately, we are expecting. We can see the tanks right now. Yes, and the molotov cocktails being hurled. Maybe this time the Hungarian revolution might be won. They rather parallel, you know. Which also reminds us of the Spanish student demonstrators at the University of Madrid. We can only offer them our support, and that's supposed to be a lot. Or so we're told. If you've noticed, the above is just another instance of some concern being expressed in this editorial. Well, we might as well go a little further by rejoicing over the fact that Jacqueline Susann's novel THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS (you know, CARPETBAGGER stuff) is off the number one spot on the best seller lists. Hooray for the intellectuals! Speaking of that group, we're wondering what Marshall McLuhan is doing with them. We mean can the editors of VOGUE, GLAMOUR, and MADEMOISELLE be wrong in their championing and touting of his ideas? We can only congratulate the magazine editors of the Sunday TIMES who held · off mentioning him until last week. So we made some comments in this editorial on nothingness. Maybe our alienation is wearing off. Dollars and Sense It costs $9000 to keep a youth in the Job Corps for one year. This is more than 4 times the cost of sending a student to the College for a year. It doesn't take a mental giant to see something is wrong with the War on Poverty. The Job Corps was supposed to be beneficial to everyone (including Lyndon, who received quite a few votes for quite a few promises). The Corps, or corpse, has become a political football that costs the taxpayer too much. The blunders of the Job C::>rps are more tragic-comic than even those made in the field of For_e~gn Aid: they have paid life guards $10,000 a year at a J.C. Camp that had no pool, and they have condoned riots in the towns that housed Job Corps Centers because the towns supposedly had the wrong attitudes. If we didn't know Sargent Shr~ver was the head of the Economic Opportunities Act we would think the whole thing was produced by William Dozier (you know, BATMAN'S producer). Polemics take up space Complaint Editors' reply To the Editor: It is perhaps unreasonable to hope the BEACON will ever stand for an enlightened, stimulating editorial policy. Is it, however, too much to ask that a calendar of coming events be prepared with care? Such calendars in the past have ne~er been complete. Many events of importance in the school - sports n~ws, artistic activities, honors and activities of the students - never receive any notice at all. In my eight years here I have learned to accept this situation and am surprised when the BEACON takes notice of Senior Recitals, Town & Gown Concerts, Madrigal Singers, Wilkes College Chorus, or any musical event of importance to me. Your misinformation cost the Madrigal Singers part of their audience on [ a recent] Sunday afternoon, since only the people who read page two came for our actual program. The people who read page four will be there [ at a later date] . The Philharmonic date was incorrect as was the Little Theatre , It is probably better to ignoee these events as usual than to misinf«?rm the public. Richard Chapline Perhaps, you despaired of ever seeing your letter in print, Mr. Chapline. It is rather bad form to begin a letter of supposedly restrained complaints by taking pot shots at the student newspaper. This does cause antagonism, which is probably being expressed in this reply . We may concede that. In regard to your complaint about our giving inaccurate dates for various events, we point to the official calendar of the College which lists events in the block of the appropriate date. This calendar, alas, is not infallible as you must know. Events are often listed on the wr.o ng dates, most likely because of rescheduling of affairs after the calendar has gone to press. Thus, errors are born. We want to correct this, of course, and would appreciate the help of you and other faculty members, faculty advisors, club members and students. When you are looking at the date of your sponsored event on the College calendar, whether to see how near the date or just for the sheer joy of seeing yourself in print, well anyway , please check to see if the calendar date is consistent with the actual date.

We have been granted by fortune and the liberal minded members of the Ac ademic Integrity Committee a chance, an opportunity to prove to ourselves and to the Administration that we truly are the adults our L.C.B. cards proclaim us to be, The proposed establishment of an honor system here at Wilkes has given us a chance to demonstrate that we are capable of doing - thinking. We have been led by the nose and hedged about with useless, autocratic rules long enough. Our organs of self-government have been powerless too long. It is time that we stood before the Administration and showed them that force is not the answer, that we are capable of deciding for ourselves what is and what is not best for us. The time has come for us to prove that we are not the senseless, stupid, unthinking, sheeplike children they have regarded us as, but young men and women who have minds of their own and the ability and desire to use them. There are among you , people, like myself, who believe that the morass of apathy in which we have engulfed ourselves is too thick, and the will power is too weak for such a plan to succeed. It is up to you to prove us wrong, if you can. Why do you think the Administration works so hard to compel you to attend an apparently useless and obviously unpopular institution such as assembly? Why do they refuse to take student opinion into account when decisions are made such as in the case of our now defunct bowl bid? Why do they treat us like high school kids who must be ground into submission to every senseless rule? Because until now we have done nothing to deserve ei ther their respect or their trust. We have refused to support our campus organizations, and we have stood idly while they made our decisions for us, But now we have something which we can use as a weapon. A weapon with which we can fight the stilling paralysis of our collective will. An honor system provides us with the crack in the door, the first chance to prove that we really can govern our own affairs. From it who can foresee the next step. Already there is talk of an honors program .o f independent research which has long been needed but which has long been denied us because of the belief that we were not ready for it. There is even talk of granting the student a real share in the making of student policy, but all these depend on the student, you. We must prove ourselves; you must prove yourself, for many of us will be gone before the critical period comes. There is only one way for this student revolution to succeed , and that is not only to adopt the honor system but to make it work when it is adopted. We do not think you can , the fac ulty does not think you can, the Ad ministration does not think you can, It is up to you to prove us all wrong. Louis M. Chere Dear Friends: WILKES COLLEGE BEACON I read and enjoy the Beacon. Thought I would send this along because I feel this way about Wilkes. Best wishes. Sincerely, Jule Ayers �Friday, February 3, 1967 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Reader, novel discussed by Richard Dalon Much has been written about literature in an attempt to define, classify and determine its function in both an aesthetic and nonaesthetic role; there has been, however, a tendency to neglect the role of the reader and his relationship to literature. By literature I mean only those books which are in the strictest sense of the word literary. Thomas De Quincey classified literature into two groups: the literature of knowledge and the literature of power, the latter being defined as that !iterat~re which moves the reader; " it speaks ultimately, it may happen, to the higher understanding or reason, but always through affections of pleasure and sympathy." It is this literature that I am interested in, the novel. poetry, drama and the like. In discussing the importance of a particular type of relationship between the literary work and the reader, it should be understood that this has little or nothing to do with the significance of the work. The mere statement of how one feels about a literary work is not very significant literary commentary, although it should be a natural and pleasant activity. The personal reaction' to a work , however, can be a starting point for further investigation. One may go on and ask why he feels the way he does , or what there is in the work that causes his feeling. If, however , there is no immediate relationship between the lite rary work and the reader these questions will never arise , and the reader may just as well have read a cook book as Crime and Punishment. The first step in this relationship is, of course, knowing how to read; that is what should one look for when reading a literary work? What symbols, if any, does the author use, and for what purpose? How is the plot developed? What kind of characters is the author presenting? What is the ultimate meaning, theme, moral or whatever you wish to call it in the work? These are only a few of the questions a reader should keep in mind. Unfortunately, few courses teach a student how to read . The instructor is content to fill the hour with bits of information, to- /.ette,-J (Continued from page 2) Rhodesia Dear Editor: I had the opportunity to see the most recent edition of the Beacon while visiting the campus. I was favorably impressed with the paper in general. Th e pictures were definitely clearer, and it appears to be well written. I would , however, like to comment on two items I read in the paper. It appears that the writer of the IRC Forum was ignoring a great deal of our history in his attempt to be popular with Africans. Our own beginning was that of a "white minority," an "aristocracy," and an "illegal government" for fully nine years. Furthermore, more harm was done to those who opposed the "illegal government" in our country than Rhodesia has even attempted. Perhaps, nine years from now, he will have cause to regret his remarks as the nations of Europe had cause to regret their remarks about us. It was also rather disturbing to read that police will be in attendance at campus dances. It is disconcerting, to say the least, that our future teachers and leaders require an armed man among them in order to get along with one another. How far indeed have we proceeded toward the universal rule of law when the educated elite must guard itself from itself. Yours truly, Andrew Hassay Class of 1962 Thanks Dear Editor: Thanks so much to everyone who helped prepare the Inter-Dormitory Council Christmas party and to those who worked at the party. Sincerely, Hallie Raub Mark Rosenbaum Co-chairmen tally irrelevant to the work, such as Byron had a club foot and kept a bear in his room at college, etc. This may help pass the time and perhaps even make the professor popular, but it obviously gives no aid to the student. In most cases there is no attempt on the part of the professor to answer the above questions; indeed, they are never asked. The short story provides us with a good illustration of the importance of knowing how to read. Let us look for a moment at the master of the short story, Chekov. In the opening of Chekov ·s story, The Lady With A Dog, the first sentence reads: "It was reported that a new face had been seen on the quay; a lady with a little dog." The amount of information conveyed in that sentence is an interesting example of how important it is for the reader to be able to grasp its many implications at a glance. What do we gather from that one sentence? We gather altogether by implication , that the scene is laid in a port. We gath er that this port is a seaside resort , for ladies with little dogs do not frequent commercial docks. We gather that the season is fine weather probably summer or autumn. We gather that this resort is an unfrequented little place; for one does not observe new faces at big crowded places. Furthermore, the phrase " it was reported" implies that gossip is common at this resort. One might also infer the report came from a man, since that sex is usually more interested in the female. The importance in knowing how to read now appears obvious. Many times a book is read and then shelved, never to be touched again by the same reader; this is a great mistake common to the modern reader. When you re-read a classic you may not see more in the book tha nyou did before, but you may see more in you than there was before . Thus ten years ago, when first reading War and Peace, I did not see at all plainly that it is, among other things, about love - love between men and women, love of country, but more especially Christian love. Ten years ago Christian love did not. as it happens, occupy any great place in my mental world. Today, as it happens, it occupies a greater place. My age and the Bomb are responsible for that. Fifteen years from now , if I read War and Peace for a third time , it will, I am sure, affect me differently. One might say that tljis was not the author's intention, or this is not what the author means; bu / in a limited sense the author mearts whatever the reader wants him to mean. Once an author has turned a book loose in the world, it is everybody's book. Each reader - being properly equipped gets what he can or what he wants from it. "Misunderstanding" can be attributed to an author. Often the greater the author, the greater the diversity of "understanding." Beyond a certain point, no author knows what he is saying. Herman Hesse wrote in his introduction to Steppenwolf: "Poetic writing can be understood and misunderstood in many ways. In most cases the author is not the right authority to decide on where ·the reader ceases to understand and the misunderstanding begins. Many an author has found readers to whom his work seemed more lucid than it was to himself. Moreover, misunderstandings may be fruitful under certain circumstances." In a very real sense, a book is not a volume on the shelf. It is a relationship: an author-cum-reader relationship, an entity that is both and neither. The whole is greater than the aggregate of its parts. This is what is meant by literature in its broadest possible meaning, which includes the very important relationship between the reader and the literary work. Time's man of the year (Ed's Note : This article is being reprinted from the Collegiate Compendium. It originally appeared in The Dartmouth of Dartmouth College.) The suspense, built up to fever pitch over the past year, was broken. ·'Time's 40th Man of the Year, " began a letter from the Publisher, " is not an individual but a generation today 's youth. With his skeptical yet humanistic outlook, his disdain for fa_ naticism, and his scorn for the spurious, the Man of the Year suggests that he will infuse the future with a new sense of morality, a transcendent and contemporary ethic that could infiinitely enrich the 'empty society', If he succeeds ( and he is prepared to), the Man .of the Year will be a man indeed - and have a great deal of fun in the process . . . . " Time is right, as usual. Due to the quirks of demography (there are as many Americans under 25 as over), the sudden rise to riches of the teeny-bopper set, and the immense effect of American public education, the Now generation has taken power in the U.S. As Time points out, "this is not just a new generation, this is a new kind of generation." As Time fails to point out, the benefits of this coup d'etat are alloyed, to say the least. The Think Young attitude results in the new masculine image that panders to teenagers with everything from " bucket seats" and 400 kinds of shaving lotions to James Bond. Due to the youth market, Fun and Education are on their way to becoming the two biggest businesses in the U.S., for better or worse. Since Youth has become the big mystique, there is a pathetic scramble to Grow Up, and most elementary school students are snappier-dressed than 99 per cent of the College's men. Finally , the teeny-bopper dictatorship fosters the spectacle of being With It. As Tom Wolfe said recently, in all of New York you couldn ·t find three people to debate against adultery. They'.d be ashamed of not being With It. So \ •verybody reads Kierkagaard, drives , Detroit's pseudo-sports cars, watcheJ Mayor Lindsay walk on water, twists and shouts till dawn , and Swings until they make themselves sick. At last, a few Time executives and researchers get together ( after proclaiming London as the swinging city) and make Us "Official." How they Swing at Time-Life. As Mo T. Year said, "Well, I can always put 'Time Man of the Year ' on my grad school applications.'· Students use lights, mirrors GC studies 'psychedelic' art THE MINNESOTA DAILY, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn . Some students "see sound" and "feel color" in psychedelic art experiments in a General College art course. Jerome Gates, GC associate professor, was picked by the University as part of a team to develop such art in 1953. " Our purpose then was to experiment with the idea of making music a visual, as well as an aural, experience, " he said in a recent interview. He said most art appreciation courses seem to fall short of their goal because they only deal with formal aspects of art study. "Most of them deal with styles and never get to what happened to the artist in terms of creating," Gates said. To give students this creating potential , an art form had to be developed which would bring exciting results , involve large groups , and let a certain number do the actual work. The process Gates and the team developed involves the fact that light striking a polished surface can be reflected onto another surface. "With a hand mirror catching sunlight, one can trace patterns on a wall ; with two mirrors one can set up more complicated patterns," he sa.id. '"For all the complexity possible in this kind of play, most people quickly tire of the activity . This is probably due to the fact that the image cast by a rigid surface such as a hand mirror is limited to only slight variations from the actual form of the mirror, " he explained. "If the reflecting surface is flexible enough to be bent or otherwise moved during the performance, the images cast become dramatically alive ," Gates said. Page 3 Neither Here Nor lhere Stomp! Stomp! Stomp! Tramp! Tramp ! Tramp! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! No , gang, these are not the sounds of Jim Ryun setting a new record for the mile. Nor are they the sounds of the Grand Prix at Le Mans. These onomatepoeic little words are emanating from that annual rite of spring, that senior girls' delight, The Senior Rush. For you unenlightened senior men, the Senior Rush is the notorious spree in which the senior girls stage a last chance stand at grabbing a husband before they graduate. Otherwise , they will have to start all over once they are out in the big, cruel world, you know. Security, that old Linus complex, is really universal. To bring you guys out of the dark, we decided to perform a public service and interview the foremost competitor in the running for the big prize, one Miss Selma ··cupcakes" Freem. For the past few weeks we had been unable to get hold of Cupcakes - er, Miss Freem, that is, who is quite absorbed with the job at hand. But, to your good fortune , we finally caught her while she was lurking about outside her favorite haunt - the College Placement Office. So taken by surprise was she when we tapped her on the shoulder that she flung her note pad and pencil in the air, leaped into our arms with careless abandon, and began babbling, "I can cook, sew, wash, clean, pull plow and have many babies. I'm very attractive. Ain't I attractive? Huh? Just feel my - -·· "Er - uh - duh - uh - Miss Freem ," we interrupted , "we don't think we suit your purpose. You see, we just signed up for a two year hitch in the Peace Corps.'· "Whhaaa???" she screamed. "The Peace Corps! ! Don't ever cross my path again! The Peace Corps ! ! ? That's eleven cents an hour! Why that's n.o t enough to keep me in booze and cigarettes. Sir, I must ask you never to darken my doorstep again. And what's more, before you so rudely interrupted me, I had just gotten into a good position to overhear· that interviewer in there quote that guy a salary. He's being interviewed for a position with Price Waterhouse." ··well, we really are sorry. But. Miss Freem, why we are here is to question you about your modus operandi in the Senior Rush . Do you think that you could give us the lowdown?" ··well , I don 't know . I mean, it just might scare off some of the guys on my hope list. Not to mention giving away valuable secrets to my competitors.·· "Surely some of the other girls already use some of the same procedures that you do. And what's more, since we really want to get this story, why don't we, in order to protect an innocent like you, just call you Miss X? I mean, if we don 't mention that you are tall, gangly, blond with short shingled hair, nobody could possibly connect you with our Miss X. And we don ' t have to mention your bald spots, appendectomy scars, and itchy, scaly psoriasis. See, you 'll be perfectly safe." "Well, in that case - " she mused , pausing a moment to scratch her psoriasis. "'First of all ," we asked, " why this mad rush to get a husband?" "Well, the last time I went home to Flat Feet, Montana , my mother got rather violent because I had no serious husband prospects yet. 'Four years and ten thousand dollars and you still aren·t engaged,' she roared. She also went on about what good are all the clothes from Bendel's and Bergdorf's if you don't have a husband yet. Why, she even threatened to cancel my subscription to Glamour. It was terrible. She just kept yelling and raving and frothing at the mouth. Well anyway, I don't want to go into the generation gap at this point ... What was it you asked? Oh yes. Why I want a husband? Well , other than having my mother go bats, I'd kinda like one. And everybody knows that college men make the most money outside of construction workers. Besides, somebody has to pay for my charge accounts. " "Yes, of course. How can you tell if someone is good husband material?" "You mean S1.>meone from around here? That's easy. They start looking interesting if they don't wear white socks. And, if they wear loafers and a vest, well, you just ask to be introduced to that guy. If they smoke a pipe and get razor haircuts, you make sure you get intr.oduced. And, if they are majoring in something up at Parrish and not in art or English, well then, this plus the other attributes that I mentioned and whhooopee! ! ! You just get a date and get all sorts of involved. Unfortunately though, you cant' find everybody with all of these perfections. I mean, every body has some tragic Baw." "What 's wrong with guys in art or English?"" " Why the first type will usually be poor. Unless he 's doing photography on the side. The second will be poor too. They only get jobs teaching or in Civil Service, you know, GS 5 rating. Anyway, both don't pay much. Or, they have to go to grad school which is really privation time for anyone interested in them. Anyway, both types are so aesthetic, so intellectual, real or pseudo, and so uninterested in money, that I tend to avoid them." " Really?" "Yes, really. I swear on Queen Esther's Rock. " "How do you go about meeting good husband material?" "As you can see, I usually hang out here around the Placement Office. Here I can find out one way or another who is getting what job and how much they are going to make. On slow days I usually go up to the King's Placement Office. When I really have time, I go up to The U. I even take a course or two at night to meet all the stragglers who I miss at day school. I always work in the Boston Store or Pomeroy 's at Christmas and Easter. One never can be too lax. But, I manage. I really do." " Yes, we see what you mean. Now then , how long is your current list?" We watched aghast as Miss X pulled out a roll of toilet paper with pertinent information concerning each prospect neatly typed on each tear sheet. The roll just rolled along all the way from the Placement Office down to Chase. By the time we reached Chase, we realized that Miss X had quite an extensive operation. After rolling up her roll, she stopped to answer our question. " My roll isn 't quite as long as I'd like it. I mean , a girl likes to pick and choose." Then fr.om out of her purse she took a banana and started stuffing it in her mouth. '"Left over from lunch," she mumbled in her banana. "Chasing men all day gives me a huge appetite that I have to satisfy." "Of course,'' we said understandingly and left her there with something. �WILKES Page 4 POET'S CORNER Ed's note: The following poems were written by a former Sports Editor of the BEACON, Clark Line. Oh, I would love you 'til my life be drained Of ev'ry hour. 'Til memory be strained Thru hourglass or fingers of your hand. And yet I wonder, in my thoughtfulness, how many grains of timeless falling sand Must pass the narrow neck, before you wish no longer for my faithfulness; Or come at last to say you love me less. I am like an emptiness where sunlight seldom dances 'Midst the gray of shadowed forms I have no mem'ry of. The former lights of laughter, life and love Have left me dark . And yet, there's still a part of me that prances In the failing light of yesterday's delight. And thru tomorrow's haze, I wonder where my sunshine then, As dreaming turns to done ... and wond'ring comes to when. So swiftly do my swallow hopes attempt to fly, But wingless, waste their efforts on the sky, And fall in downward pirouette To silhouette Regret Against the ground . Come with torches and lanterns and weapons. Bury the bleeding Christ with your other dead. See the scarlet rider on his scarlet steed . There the Pale Commander, DEATH, directs the reason in the spheroid brain, in the cornerless confusion of a drowning mind. And many million looking on to watch the brutal spectacle, The degradation, The suffocation, The Crucifixion of mankind . COLLEGE Applications available for SSQT Applications for the March 11 and 31, and April 8, 1967 administrations of the College Qualification Test are now available at Selective Service System local boards throughout the country. Eligible students who intend to take this test shout~ apply at once to the nearest Selective Service local board for an application card and a bulletin of information. Following the instructions in the bulletin, the student should fill out his application and mail it immediately in the envelope provided to SELECTIVE SERVICE EXAMINING SECTION, Educational Testing Service, P.O .

Scores on the test will be sent directly to the registrant's local board. Western Electric Co. Scholarships donates lab equipment 'n Jobs A class of scientific equipment from the Wes tern Electric Company and Bell Telephone Laboratories has matriculated in a unique program of industrial aid to higher education at the College. The equipment, which consists of J9 types of electrical and scientific apparatus, has been donated to the school as part of a sustained commitment to higher education. Some 500,000 used, surplus and industrially obsolete items from Western Electric, the manufacturing and supply unit of the Bell Systems and Bell Labs, are collected each year and distributed to engineering and scientific laboratories of more than 500 colleges and universities. Basically, the Bell System's longrange purpose is to strengthen scientific and engineering education. The Bell System's College Gift Program, administered by Western Electric, began in the 'Twenties with the donation of 18 surplus oscilloscopes to several northeastern schools and has grown to a size dwarfing this modest beginning. The project has become so large that it takes a special catalogue and eleven storerooms scattered around the United States to warehouse them. Over the years gifts have ranged from thermistors small enough to take a grasshopper's temperature to a microwave antenna large enough to register radiation from the stars. Applications are now being received for the summer internships in government and politics to be awarded in the 1967 competition sponsored by the James A . Finnegan Fellowship Foundation . Open to any Pennsylvania college student wherever enrolled, or to any non-Penpsylvanian enrolled in a Pennsylvania college or university, the competition 1_ closes on March I, 1967. By that time , all entries must be on Ille at the foundation headquarters, 5,10 North Third Street, Harrisburg . Applications are now available there on written rel}uest by any eligible student interested in exploring the possibility of a career in government or politics. SENIOR JOB OPPORTUNITIES SG REPORTS The Heart Fund Concert will be held this spring through the cooperation of the student governments of Wilkes, King's and Misericordia. The gym will be the setting for Paul Revere and the Raiders. Freshman Class nominations were held on Thursday, after assembly in the gym . Emphasis was placed upon having adequate representation to prevent the disorder which might arise by the failure of class officers to achieve the academic standards set by the school. Mike Clark, Sophomore Class president, presided. Freshmen are to vote in the Commons today from 9 to 'I p .m. The art club, represented by Joe Stallone and Mr. Roman Tymchyshyn, requested and received funds for an experimental art fiesta . One feature of the art fiesta will be Cocteau 's Blood of the Poet. The students' reaction to the fiesta will be the determining factor in deciding whether to continue the fiesta . Club presidents, IDC, Beacon editors , and dormitory presidents are requested to meet February 13, at 7 p.m., in the new cafeteria to vote upon the honor referendum. A suggestion was made to originate an internship program for presidential nominees so . that they may become familiar with the responsibilities of the job. Another suggestion was made for a constitutional change so that class and student government election would be held in mid-April. Both suggestions must be cleared through referendums. Rasool Discusses (Continued from Page 1) seismometer installed on the moon starts looking for moonquakes. The results of these experiments will have a great impact on human thought and may have very far-reaching consequences. Apart from these questions of philosophical importance, Dr. Rasool also delved ' slightly into some of the questions of our everyday life concerning nearby environments. Concerning another aspect of the interaction of science and society which has influenced us greatly, he drew attention to the formation of a continuously widening gulf between the scientist and the literary intellectual. "Literary intellectuals Friday, February 3, 1967 BEACON Job opportunities for seniors are now available at the Guidance and Placement Office from national as well as local areas , with an abundance of teaching positions. Nearly every day, representatives from various companies and schools are on campus interviewing prospective employees. Senior graduating students who are interested in jobs or traineeships in their respective major fields are invited to visit the Guidance and Placement Office for assistance in planning their future work. A list of all available job notices is included in the college bulletin and is posted on campus bulletin boards every Tuesday and Thursday. at one pole - at the other, scientists, and as the most representative, the physical scientists. Between the two a gulf of mutual incomprehension . . . ," Yet, Dr. Rasool still finds some glimmer of hope in the enormous impact of the space program which may eventually at least try to bridge the gap between the two cultures. As Dr. Rasool sees it, the evolution of a third culture has begun which has, as a start, stopped the two cultures from drifting further apart. by James E. Harding Turmoil, tending toward all out civil war, seems to be the new evaluating mark of the Chinese People's Republic ( Red China). Mao Tse-tung and Defense Minister Lin Piao appear to be pitted against President Liu Shaochi and Communist Secretary-General Teng Hsiao-ping with Premier Chou En-lai attempting to tread the middleground while acting as liaison. What the effects of the events will be are of the greatest importance to the United States and practically every other nation of the world , for China stands today as not only a threat to the free world but also a threat to the Communist movement. The focal point of the entire situation is believed to be whether Red China should follow the strict ideology of Mao, seeking to build China as the Communist bastion of world revolution with near elimination of material benefits, or should shift to a form of Russian " revisionism," thus bringing the Communist world to closer relations and building Red China's industrial capability. The key to the outcome may be the Red Army, which is said by some to be about evenly split in the support of Mao and Liu. Therefore , theoretically, he who controls the Army controls the nation, but such an assumption could have many ramifications. In any event, the struggle is real. If the crisis were to intensify to all out civil war, there is a chance that a settlement would produce a new nation, or, rather, many new nations, for the province leaders are jealous of each ·other, and doubt arises as to whether a unifying power will reappear. This possibility cannot be put aside too lightly . Whatever the outcome, it is generally agreed that Communism will not disappear. The politico-ideological cadre is much too strong for that, and only external invasion (by, say, the Nationalist Chinese with United States aid) would be able to destroy the Communist framework . Russia is watching Red China very interestedly since a shift to "revisionism" would most likely mean a shift toward better relations between the two nations. If this becomes the case, the United States would find even greater difficulty confronting world commitments, especially in Vietnam , for a united Communist front would be an extreme hindrance to America 's present foreign policy. On the other hand , such action would open new channels between the United States and Red China. The struggle will probably continue for some time, and the victor's policies may have great effect upon American and world determinations in the political sphere. Such struggles and determinations are the keynotes of history, and the outcomes are the facts facing the world. The facts cannot be ignored, but some can surely be replaced by time. OPIUM LAND (Ed's note: This review appeared in The California Aggie of the University of California at Davis, Calif.) Mat Helm is back. This time the girl is Ann-Margaret. You don't like Dean Martin's singing? Bring ear plugs. You don't like Ann-Margaret? What are you, some kind of a nut? She doesn 't have to act, all she has to do is be there. In fact, it would probably be better if she didn 't act. She'll never have to worry about dust collecting on her Oscars. This time the plot, or whatever it is, revolves around the planned incineration of Washing ton by "Big 0." Helm takes time out from his busy schedule as Slaymate photographer when Miss January tries to give him the hot-foot. With everybody thinking he's dead and all the Slaymates wearing black mini-trenchcoats in mourning, Helm is off to Monaco in an effort to throw a wrench into "Big O 's" machinery. He manages to throw plenty. But with wrenches he's not as young as he used to be. It turns out that " Big O 's" head guy, played by Karl Malden, has cleverly concealed his headquarters on an island a few hundred yards off the Monaco beach, and he commutes in a discreet little air-boat designed to attract as little attention as possible. Helm 's main adversary is a stout guy with a stainless steel plate in his head. Original, huh? As usual, the odds are about even: one army versus one Matt Helm. The "TT 'LL W.€\/G~ army is mercifully annihilated, but Helm ends up with a nasty bruise on his cheek. Or is it lipstick? Things become so bobbled near the end you're not sure about anything. Remember the "Silencers" gun? Helm's arsenal this go-round has a delayed-action gun. You pull the trig ger, and it goes off four seconds later. As you've probably figured out, all the bad guys shoot themselves. It's not much compared with his "Silencers" equipment, but he gets plenty of use out of it. A brief appearance is put in by Dino, Desi, and Billy, during which Dino has a chance to say his catchy line, " Now you're getting with it, Dad." This has deep significance for the moviegoer and allows him to elbow his neighbor and say, "Ha ha, that's his son who said that. Ha, ha." The main complaint about the movie is that it tries to get too much mileage out of the situations, sometimes stretching them to the yawning point. The story follows the set formula , with Helm getting caught the recommended number of times and killing the recommended number of adversaries. It has all the elements: a good guy, a bad guy, in fact several bad guys, lots of pretty girls, and plenty of color. It doesn ' t quite hit the bull's eye , but it scores a near miss, which is better than most do. In spite of eve rything, or maybe because of everyt hing, especially AnnMargaret, it manages to be an enjoyable and entertaining lllm. wot.I( �WILKES Friday, February 3, 1967 COLLEGE Page BEACON 5 :Four new records set .__ _ _ _ _____. by Colonel swimmers THE HIGH PosT J by Walt Narcum Winning. To coaches, this is a Without the will have no excuse players, teams, and very important word. to win a team would for existing. A player will give up individual glory for the sake of winning. If any proof of this statement is needed, we only have to point to Wilt Chamberlain of the Philadelphia 76ers. Wilt used· io score over one hundred points in orie game, yet his team still lost. Now he is no longer the leading scorer in the N.B.A. but his team leads their division. Wilt gave up individual glory and substituted team victory as his goal. Wilkes' teams and coaches are noted for their will to win. We honestly believe that every Wilkes team this year has had a hunger for victory. Naturally not every Wilkes team can meet the standards set for them by the football and wrestling teams, but Wilkes fans seem to expect an unbroken strin~ of victories from all teams, or else they withdraw their support. The Colonel cagers and mermen have had less than a spectacular season so far this year. Th is fact should not have an effect on attendance at these contests, but in fact it has. Only one conclusion can be drawn from this fact. Most of the Colonel fans will only support a winner. It seems that it isn 't considered "cool" to go to see Colonel teams that aren 't MAC defending champions. School spirit exists only when a team is winning. What these fair weather fans don't realize is that their attendance can go a long way towards giving Wilkes those winning team s we all want. We have all heard of the hom e court advantage. Part of this advantage is due, of course, to the team 's familiarity with the court. A large part, however, is due to the support a team gets from its fans. This plea for support will probably fall on deaf ears, but that's to be expected. For those interested, the Colonel cagers will be home tomorrow night at 8:15 p.m., against Juniata. If you still haven't gotten your schedule straightened out, tomorrow happens to be Saturday. The day after is Sunday and most of us have a light schedule on Sunday. Wrestling The wrestling team, now 7-0 on the season, will miss the services of Vic Altonen and Al Arnould who didn't return for the second semester. Arnould had an outstanding season as a freshman, winning the MAC unlimited crown. In last Saturday 's meet with F .D .U. , Fran Olexy proved that size is no handicap, as he pinned his man even though he was outweighed by 45 pounds. H11dquart1rs for Lettered With three of their nine scheduled meets behind them , the Colonels' mermen now sport a log of 0 and 3. The mermen succumbed to Harpur College, 51-44, Philadelphia College of Textile and Science, 64-31, and to Drexel lnstitue of Technology, 58-36. Despite their record, the mermen have thus far evinced ,a fighting spirit and determination in 1111 of their meets which bodes well for, the rest of the season. Against Harpur the Colonels captured an early seven point lead by winning the 400-yard medley relay. the first event of the meet. The Wilkesmen retained their lea d until the fifth event w hen Harpur crept ahead to a three point lead. Th e score was tied 35-35 in the eighth event and again at 44-44 in the tenth and next to last event; Harpur, however, took the deciding final event, the 400-yard frees tyle relay, for seven points and a 51-44 victory . In the Philadelphia Textile contest, the Wilkes mermen did not fare so well. Textile captured the opening event and an early lead . Th ey retained their edge throughout the contest, holding the Colonels to only two first place wins. The Colonels' mermen again garnered an early seven point lead after the opening event of the Wilkes-Drexel meet. The Wilkesmen, however. could retain their lead only until the fourth event after which Drexel forged ahead to a 20-14 advantage.

Phethean set a new record of 2:27.1 in the 200-yard backstroke and with 25.2 surpassed the old record in the SO-yard freestyle by one-tenth of a second. The previous records for these events were 2:40 and 25.3 respectively.

Cagers lake two over winier vacation by Bob Thompson Since the last issue of the Beacon before Christmas, the Colonel cagers have slipped to a record of 2 wins and 6 losses. They downed Philadelphia Pharmacy, 80-62 and Harpur, 81-61. The Colonels led both games from start to finish and had little trouble winning. In their losses, the two contributing factors were a lack of height and a lack of spirit and pride. At the half in each contest the team was either tied or within a few points of the opposition , but fell apart in the second half. The Colonels manag ed a tie at the half with Elizabethtown but were unable to contain John Lentz in the second half and fell to defeat 90-71. Daniels led Wilkes with 31 points. Against the number three team in the MAC , Albr ight, the Colonels hung on for the first half but succumbed 74-57 to a fine team effort. After a 31 -31 tie at half, the Colonels dropped behind Lebanon Valley by 16 points before coming back to tie the game. They lost in overtime 85-82 . Dale Nicholson was high for the cagers with 21 points. Against Rutgers the Colonels dropped behind in the second half by a few points and were never able to gain them back. They lost 80-76, and Daniels was again high scorer with 22 counters. Delaware Valley jumped to a 10-2 lead and Wilkes was never able to gain the lead, although they came close. The Colonels were beaten on the foul line when Delaware Valley made 25 of 33 to Wilkes' I 5 of 24 . Reuben Daniels led all scorers with 29 points. In their latest contest the cagers were downed by a tough East Stroudsburg State College five, 77-58. Down 34-31 at intermission , the Colonels played their best game since early season. At a definite height advantage they were able to hold their own on the boards and led by as much as 6 points early in the contest. But again the second half was a disaster. Behind only 45-42 they fell apart and were unable to score , rebound or stop the Warriors and were well down 72-45 before both teams put in the subs. The Warriors ran off 16 straight points mos tly on easy layups before the Colonels scored. John Grobelney hit on 9 of 12 field goals in the second half and finish ed with 26 points. Daniels had 18 for the Colonels giving him an average of 20 points for the last 7 games. This Semester WILKES-BARRE the year. Both are now making preparations for the showdown. Before East Stroudsburg the Colonels took on Millersville on Saturday and Lycoming on February 11. Millersville is expected to pose no problem while Lycoming although not as strong as last year should be a tough contest. The Colonels· cause for the rest of the season has been hurt by the loss of two of its top grapplers. Al Arnould defending MAC heavyweight champion and Vic Altonson a letterman for 3 years did not return to school this semester. But Coach Reese always seems to come up with a solution to the problem and to beat East Stroudsburg, it is imperative that he does. The Warriors were the only team to beat the Colonels last year and have their sights on topping the Colonels again. They are currently leading the State College conference and have beaten Lycoming , Springfield and Bloomsburg, all strong teams. They also finished high in th e Wilkes Open Tournament.

Good Luck FOR COMPLETE SHOE SERVICE • • • by Bob Thompson Between an opening romp of 35-0 over Delaware Valley to a 37-0 posting of Madison F.D.U., the Colonel grapplers have put together 5 other lopsided victories for a 7-0 record. Only 25 points have been scored against them by the 7 clubs which is less than any one Wilkes score. In early season meets the Reesemen defeated Hartwick, 2(i-3, while using the second string. Springfield, one of the top powers in the East fell 28-5 while C . W . Post was routed 41-7. The toughest meet thus far was Hofstra, who although they lost 25-8, extended the Colonels in every bout and allowed no pins. In an important meet the grapplers downed Mansfield, 32-5. McCormick, Forde and Olexy all won via pins. Last Saturday, they rocked up their 7th straight win at the expense of Madison F.D.U. They were shut out for the second straight year, 37-0. Doug Forde piled up a 24-4 advantage over his opponent while Matviak, McCormick, Wiendl, Cook and Olexy all won via falls.

In this critical period, however , none of us can be unaware that the promise and possibilities offered by science and technology are offset by the threat resulting from man's adherence to prejudice, bigotry. distrust . and outmoded patterns of thought. Can we not at this time give new significance to Christmas by renewing our faith in the willingness of men to respond to ideals that are supported by courage, conviction, and integrity. Let us restore the meaning of Christmas by making this a season of self-renewal. A Happy Christmas to all!

It is estimated that altogether the production staff, which consisted of students. members of Kiwanis, friends of the College, the cast, and orchestra, numbered approximately 125, which on any given performance was equal to more than one-fifth of the capacity audience of about 500. All of the public and student performances were sold-out before the show formally opened, leaving many people clamoring for tickets. All eleven performances were attended by more than 5500 people. Despite the tremendous psychological and academic strain on all students involved, Cue 'n Curtain felt that the performances and technical staging not only maintained a high degree of excellence but actually improved with each performance. It was agreed by all who worked on the show in any capacity that the production - which began last June and involved the construction of ten sets, the coordination of almost 200 costumes, the painting of three huge backdrops, rehanging most of the curtains, scrims and drops on stage, and setting almost 200 lights separately, a job which utilized every technical facility in the theater, many of which had never been used before - was a very satisfying and educational experience and well-worth the effort. Cue 'n Curtain would like to thank all those students and friends of the College who unselfishly contributed their time and talent to make Camelot the "magical'' show that it was. At the same meeting, Cue 'n Curtain also discussed their upcoming productions. The group has scheduled Shakespeare's Othello for April 19 to 22. This date coincides with Freshman Weekend. While not as large a production as Camelot, Othello nevertheless offers acting and technical challenges that the previous show did not. Tryouts for this production are open to all students and will not be held until early next year at a date to be announced. Interested students are urged to check the bulletin board in the theater shop for further information.

I don't especially like to specialize in fields outside my interest. To an extent, I take in all and enjoy it." Ann Romines , new instructor in the English department, is presently teaching freshmen writing courses. "The course isn't as bad as I expected. My freshmen are the most interesting people I've met at Wilkes." In Fayette, Missouri, Miss Romines completed her undergraduate work at Central Methodist College - a college slightly smaller than Wilkes. Here, she did, as a senior honors thesis, a paper on Archibald MacLeish, entitled "The Poet's Relation to the State." The topic concerned MacLeish's political involvement in relation to his poetry. Miss Romines believed the relation was not to the poet's benefit. "He tended to use propaganda." At Central Methodist, Miss Romines was also active in creative writing courses and belonged to a creative writing group. This group met at the homes of various English professors ~119/iJA cA11i1-r,,1111 Fiester earns doctorate by Paula Eike Mr. Benjamin Fiester, acting chairman of the English department, has recently passed his final oral examination for his doctor of Philosophy degree in English, and his thesis has been accepted by the doctoral committee without correction.

The contest, the Drama Festival, involves a series of one act plays; the contestants are finalists from the state. considered for February. It may take the form of dramatic excerpts from plays, dramatic readings, musical commentary and interpretive dance which will be presented to the members of the theater and all interested students and friends on successive weekends in February. While not meant to be a full-scale production, it is designed to introduce unskilled and inexperienced students, who are interested in acting, technical theater, music and dance, to the complex workings of our theater in a relaxed and entirely creative atmosphere away from the pressure of a production deadline. All students who would like to take part in theater productions, but were previously too shy to come out, are urged to take part in this unique form of theater. It is meant for beginners, and it is hoped that it will give them the opportunity to express themselves in a form hitherto alien to them. Plans for this workshop theater are still incomplete but as soon as details are made, definite tryouts and technical calls will be made. It is hoped that many students will take advantage of this unique experience of learning to operate the theater and to explore new directions in theater. Friday, December 16, 1966 After graduating from Berwick High School, · Mr. Fiester received his A .B. in 1955 from Wilkes. He then completed his Master· of ·Arts degree in 1961 from Bucknell University. Since 1956 he has been a member of the faculty, and from 1961 to 1964 he was on leave as a graduate assistant at Pennsylvania State University while doing his doctoral work. BENJAMIN FIESTER The acting head of the English department is presently a bibliog- rapher for the Modern Language Association, and was a contributing editor in 1965 for the Annual Bibliography of the Modern Humanist Research Association. Mr. Fiester is presently involved in research which includes an article on George Orwell, one on Beowulf, and two books: a critical study of Sir Thomas Malory's Morte Darthur, which will be a revised version of his doctoral thesis, and a bibliography for the Morte Darthur. Mr. Fiester is a member of the Modern Language Association and the American Association of University Professors. His major fields of interest include the English and Old French medieval romances, and the modern novel. He is married and has two children, Joni , age nine, and Autumn, one. Student teachers return lrom class experiences by Lynn Glomb The student-teachers have returned to their classes after participating in a recent field project. They visited high schools and elementary schools in the area, taking over the positions of teachers in their classes. They are now in the process of preparing reports evaluating these experiences. There is a total of 52 students who took part in this project. Twentyseven of these are interested in secondary education, 13 are involved with elementary education, and 12 are music majors. These students now hold. committee meetings three times a week, each committee dealing with a certain subject. At these meetings, they discuss the problems that face the department of the subject with which they are concerned. Heading the project are Mr. Robert West and Mr. Edwin Johnson. Mrs. Hammer directed the elementary phase. All of the students interviewed did enjoy the experience, and many wished that the project could be extended. Elaine Barbini said, "It's just a teaser; it's too short." She taught in an elementary school and commented that the thing she enjoyed most was the children, in fact, she could not help becoming attached to them. She found· that it is hard to treat each child equally. Some students are naturally more likeable than others because of their personality, they are more alive, and this is difficult not to show. Elaine was not at all scared of the project, since she has worked with children before and is very much at ease with a younger group. Dave Golias said that he, too, developed a close relationship with his students. He taught economics and history at the secondary level. His biggest thrill was seeing the progress of his students. He was surprised at how well-versed some of them were. He was able to mention some controversial subjects and they actually knew what he was talking about. Patricia Davis, who taught English, found it was a lot easier to handle the children than she had expected. Concerning the student-teacher relationship, she said, "It is necessary to keep it distant. You can be friendly, but you can't be friends." Pat was more frightened of the first educational classes at the college than she was of the classes she taught at school. She said, "I didn't think I'd like it as much as I did." When asked why he enjoyed the project, George Fetch answered, "Because I like teaching." George instructed mathematics students at Coughlin High School. It was interesting for him to have the opportunity to try the things out that he had studied. He appreciated being allowed to make mistakes and having them corrected with the advice and counsel of an experienced teacher. Cynthia Yarish felt that most of her initial insecurity was just nerves. After a few lessons, she realized that she knew much more than her students, and she gained confidence and was able to think more clearly. It happened that some lessons which she worked on and planned carefully, using visual aids, etc. , the students would accept blandly. Then some things that she did not plan, the students would respond to enthusiastically. She found that it was more of a challenge to be a little lenient with the children. This goes along with the modern trend encouraging creativity and individualism. She said, "When the student is not afraid of me as a teacher, he will tell me what to do, without my telling him." To Howard Gola, student-teaching was "an invaluable experience that anyone should go through who is planning to be a teacher." It was frightening when he entered a classroom expecting the students to be looking at him instead of his looking at the teacher. He found that the instructor must make the material challenging and interesting to the students. He also stated that you should develop a good rapport between the students and yourself; however, it is necessary to separate the stories from the serious problems when students come to you for excuses or advice. __,_ I----------- -NOTICEThe Accounting Club announces that election of officers for 1967 will be held Tuesday, January 10, in Parish Hall at 11 a.m. All members are urged to attend this important meeting. where different ideas and styles were discussed. At Tufts College in Medford, Massachusetts, Miss Romines completed her graduate work. After having done her undergraduate work at a small college, she stated, "I would have been overwhelmed in a monstrous school. Tufts is a college where the teachers can communicate with the individuals to a great degree, and the classes are small and allow for good discussions. " Miss Romines did her M.A. thesis on Iris Murdock, a contemporary British novelist. "Her style is fairly traditional, but it's how she uses the same set of characters over and over in all her novels. My favorite is The Bell which is theological with Gothic and realistic elements - a lot of fun to read. Most people have read The Unicom, similar to the style of the Bronte sisters, Miss Murdock's new book is Time of the Angels, but I haven 't been able to read it yet. " After completing her studies at · Tufts, Miss Romines was informed by a friend about Wilkes College. "I was very much interested in teaching at a small college and had the desire to live in Pennsylvania." Miss Romines would like to see at Wilkes a creative writing course and an honors program based on entrance tests or grades after the first semester. When questioned about hobbies, Miss Romines expressed an interest in art - Ryden and Copley, in particular - and in expressionism . She stated that the location of Wilkes in relation to New York is ideal for her pursuit of art. 'Tm surprised that the people in this area don't take more advantage of this opportunity." Miss Romines is also interested in music - Ella Fitzgerald and Barbara Streisand to mention a few of her favorites. "As of now, being in the Christmas spirit, I enjoy the collection of English carols by Benjamin Britten, entitled "A Ceremony of Carols." Other hobbies include r e a d i n g her specialty, American Literature, contemporary fiction, • poetry, and criticism - a variety. Because of h. r interest in the history of her hor1 .e area in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri, Miss Romines belonged to tl1e historical society of Huston. She is also interested in old grave stone carvings. While at Tufts, she used to spend her Sundays examining the carvings in the old cemeteries. Eventually Miss Romines plans to obtain her Ph.D. but as of the moment does not have in mind any particular college or university. Young Dems to participate in conference The College's Young Democrats will be participating in the annual Washington trip and seminar program from January 26 to 29. Sponsored nationally by the College Young Democratic Clubs of America, the trip to the Capital open to all students, who will be given the opportunto hear Vice-President Hubert H ..

Mel Wynn will play from 9 to 12 p.m. and refreshments will be served. Co-chairman of the affair are Andrea Gallet, club pres~·; ident and Howard Lander, treasurer.'• �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, December 16, 1966 Paga 3 Sonia Claus gives up ghost lo spirit of Communism by Edward Klimuska Santa, nightgown ma clash in dorm chimney by. Helen Dugan Deep from the center' of the cloudstrewn sky comes a sudden glitter, then it retreats and reappears again. As it grows larger, a distinct form is seen as it bobs up and 1down, to and fro, across the winter sky. There soon appears something that looks like nine tiny reindeer pulling a tremendous sleigh loaded down with dolls, and trains, and guns, and knives, and brass knuckles, and a huge ugly drunk with a big whip yelling, "Let's get the lead out, you lousy . . . . oops, well hello there boys and girls. Here it is Christmas time, and I'm bringing all you good little kiddies some more toys with which to drive your dear, sweet parents crazy. Well I must be on my way now; I've got a big college to take all these goodies to." I At about 10 p.m. Santa's sleigh, guided by a huge neon sign erected by the public relations department saying, "We love you Santa," hovers over the College where it is promptly stoned by the U .F .0 . club and forced into a hurried retreat to his usual landing spot - the Gies parking lot. As the happy little group climbs its way back to the surface, a cheerful jest is heard, "Where's the nose now bi 1 shot? Bright red . . . guide my sl• .gh . . . . why don 't you try unemployment at Union St.?" As the group digs out and re- assemblies, Santa takes off once more seeking a new landing strip or just a SIMPLE little parking spot. Two hours later we see Santa still hovering, Dancer and Prancer panting heavily, Donder and Blitzen laying across the sleigh, Prancer and Vixen plotting mutiny, and Rudolph throwing rocks .o n fleeing students. They fin. ally decide to have a Bing at old tradition and land on the roof of 36 West. Santa gathers his bundles, mutters something about going back to paperhanging, and down the chimney he goes with a bound. Once down he quickly looks around to make sure no one is there, then hurriedly whips a paper out of one of his boots. "Uh huh, check, right, oh here we are, 'That shook when he laughed like a .. . ' . . . they 've got to be kidding. Oh well .. Ho, Ho, Ha, Ha, Hee, Hee, Ho. O:K. wink, twist head, fill stockings." As Santa grabs for his bag, he is caught across the knuckles with a sharp chop from a little old lady with a long, night gown. "This is my dorm, and nobody gets_ in here after hour.s. Out . .. Ou.t (wham-whack) . Down the chimney - what will these college kids think of next?" As one Santa, eight reindeer, one sleigh, and a deformed moose with a rubber ball tied to his nose (Rudolph's got a weird sense of humor) goes Hying down the street, they are stopped sharply by the night watchman who informs them there is to be no demonstrations while he's around. They agree to disperse quietly. Santa, who merely slowed down to receive this pertinent information, now hurries his team onward and leaves an enraged watchman with a sleigh tred up his back. As they crawl to a halt, they find themselves in front of a quiet little ivy covered house. A spirit of good will seems to be emanating from its presence, and Santa is encouraged to try one more. As before, he is caught in the act, "Hey, who's there? Oh, it's you. Well, Merry Christmas yourself. Now what could you be leaving HAPPY NEW YEAR ~~ IDC gives annual Chrisl•as party The Inter-Dormitory Council will , ponsor its annual Christmas party on , onday, December 19, from 9 tc;> 12 p.m. at the gym. The Starfires, featur'ng Ed Pashinski, will entertain. Dean !alston once again will don his Santa suit to make his appearance. Refresh- ments will be served buffet style. All students of the College are cordially invited. Admission is free , but some form of identification must be presented. Mark Rosenbaum and Hallie Raub are co-chairmen of the affair. me this lovely Christmas Night? A scarf, wonderful . . . and a pop com ball ... ha ha .. . well th~k you .. . Oh something else ..• oh a footb ... . * #Whyyou!!!" And once more the weary travelers pick there way through the cold snow, broken glass and crushed cranberries. As Santa hears wild yelps coming down the street, he lifts his head to observe one little old lady in a night gown yelling, "Kill", one night watchman with a sleigh tred just yelling, a policewoman waving a summons, and a flaming football, all gaining rapidly on a very frightened little group. Santa lunges for his sleigh to his team, gives a shrill cry of a beaten man, and away they all Hy. But I hear him explain, as he drives out of sight, "Why me Lord ... ? " Editor's note: The following article appeared in the December 7, 1966 issue of the King's CROWN. It is being reprinted with permission of the editors. With deep and heartfelt sorrow I must regretfully announce· that Santa Claus is dead. Mr. Claus, world renown figure, promoter of the slogan that it is better to give than to receive, hearty soul and good Gibbons drinker, gave up the ghost last evening at the North Pole Hospital for Living Legends. Mr. Claus' sudden end resulted from deep wounds inflicted by a berserk seal while he was feeding his reindeer earlier this week. News of his death shocked all. World reaction was spontaneous and diverse. From the White House eloquent President Johnson in a brief eulogy said: "He was a good man. He was a darn good man. A fine Democrat, he will be missed by all. " In an -official proclamation he declared Dec. 25 as a day of national mourning in honor of Mr. Claus. Henceforth, this day will be designated as Clausmas Day. Needless to say, the Vatican is protesting the proclamation. As rumors began to spread concerning the tragic death, President Johnson announced the formation of a commission to investigate the possibility of foul play. The President made it clear that Chief Justice Earl Warren will not head the commission, but neither will Mark Lane. Speculation has it that Madeline Murray, seeker of SG lo line clubs guilty of lute 'future events' notices by Zig A. Pines Student Government, at its December 12 meeting, decided to remind all clubs that notices for planned social activities must be submitted to the S.G. calendar committee at least one week prior to the scheduled event. The decision came as a result of increasing conflicts that arose in the scheduling of social activities from various clubs' failure or tardiness in notifying S.G. In order to enforce the regulation, S.G. resolved to impose a fine of $1.00 per day for each day the notice is late. Judy Simonson and Barry Miller, members of S.G. and als9 of the newly established Club ,Presidents' Council, are presently drafting a proposal for the Presidents' Council that will be submitted to the organization in the near future. The proposal is designed to interpret the functions and organizational framework of the Council. Because of the increase in the number of thefts at the dances, S.G. legislated that all sponsors of activities must take responsibility for all articles. In order to .fulfill this responsibility, all clubs must institute a coat check system, under the direction of a supervisor, whereby all responsibility for checked articles will be assumed by the sponsor of the activity. The evident criticism concerning the present library environment from a number of Wilkes students was mentioned at the meeting. It was decided that a committee, under the direction of Jean Marie Chapasko and Mrs. Nada Vujica, would be appointed to investigate the matter. -Any suggestions relating to this matter should be placed in the S.G . suggestion box. The traditional Wilkes All-College Dance is planned tentatively for sometime during the Christmas vacation. A definite date will be announced next week. truth and wisdom, will chair the inquest. In Rome, Pope Paul VI was deeply moved. In his official condolences Pope Paul warned that St. Nick's demise will result in the "abomination of desolation" or something of that nature. In the ecumenical spirit, Protestant leaders spoke of the same dire consequences. Radio Peking, to the surprise of no one, greeted the news with joy. Its communique stated that Santa's death spelled the end of capitalism and referred to him as "a dirty old man." Back in the states, Barry Goldwater saw the death of Santa as a setback to the conservative cause, while former Vice-President Richard Nixon retreated to seclusion to study its rami'fications on his career. Even in Alabama George and Lurleen wept openly for what the former called a "fine white su·p remacist." Sen. Robert Kennedy, father of ten, was last seen ascending to the top Boor of the Empire State Building, followed closely by the press. And in Hollywood Don Adams would not believe it. At King 's the reaction was somewhat subdued. The administration is withholding comment and is in the process of setting up a committee to investigate the possibility of a public announcement. Student Government is doing likewise. It is rumored that t1'e administration may cancel the Clausmas vacation since there is nothing to celebrate. If this rumor becomes fact, all Kingsmen are urged to assemble at Weaver's Coffeehouse. After being properly "psyched up ," we will march on Holy Cross Hall, present our petitions and conduct a sit-in in the faculty parking lot. We hope this will not be necessary. With Clausmas only days away there is confusion in the midst of chaos as three and four year -olds are panicking the world around. Parents appear unable to cope with the situation. The United Nations met in special session to resolve the crisis, and it was determined that a successor to Santa Claus must be selected. France's Charles de Gaulle and the likeable Ho Chi Minh have volunteered their services, as did pugilist Joe Louis. The U .S. vetoed all three offers. The ideal choice for the position, jobless Nikita Khrushchev, remained unwilling to accept the job. To break the deadlock, President Johnson "suggested" jovial Hubert Humphrey as a logical choice. He accepted with characteristic enthusiasm. Replacing Mr. Humphrey as Vice-President will be '·'Uncle Milty" Berle, the Democrats' answer to Ronald Reagan. Shockingly, Mr. Claus will be buried at a secret Black Muslim rite next Saturday. Cassius Clay will offer benediction. Pallbearers will include George and Martha (in real life Liz and Richie) , Sonny and Cher, and Chet and David. Already Photoplay is romantically linking Mrs. Claus with actor Mickey Rooney. Although Rooney, a " husband" six times, denies it, Mrs. Rooney No. 6 is not a bit surprised. With the death of God last spring, only the Easter Bunny and possibly Casey Stengle remain as quasideities of international significance. Therefore, in these trying times let us ackknowledge that Santa Claus is dead but long live H.H.H. �WILKES Page 4 COLLEGE BEACON Friday, December 16, 1966 Jf<C 1tl'Utn U.S. disavows Rhodesia SG REPORTS by John Zalot Since most recent criticisms of Student Govt. have concerned a so-called 'Jack of communication' between Student Govt. arid the student body plus a subsequent lack of initiative on the part of SG. in matters pertaining to the student body, this report is designed to make students aware of one basic fact : any and all activity of the student body , represented as an individual or a club, has its fundamen tal roots in one source, STUDENT GOVT. of our present library. When questioned about the library conditions, the first reply , in the majority of cases, was a criticism of the building itself: it creaks, it's stuffy, the lightings is poor, the accoustics are bad it's meant to be a home, not a library. As an afterthough, the students added: the librarians can't be blamed for the building; they 're doing their best under such impossible conditions. The only real solution to th is problem is a new building, and that's on its way! Be patient, please. S - Spirit of the season began officially with the annual tree-trimming on Chase lawn. Tpis reflected the typical spirit of the student body - one person outside of Student Govt. was present. One final note: if any student finds it necessary to comment or criticize any remarks made in this report, please contact the individual writer o fthis article. All helpful hints will be gratefully accepted. by Jean Marie Chapasko T - Treasurer reported Student Govt. finances remain relatively stable; this is credited to the fine management of this year's Budget Committee. U - Unsung hero , Mike Babuschak. He was that one person who helped trim the Christmas tree on Chase lawn. Thank you, Mike, for your Yuletide spirit! D - Dance during Christmas recess. Barry Miller and Joe Gatto are attempting to arrange an All College Dance scheduled tentatively for sometime during Christmas recess. If they are successful in securing a popular band, they will formulate a dance committee and work out final arrangements. E - Enforcement of peace and order at college dances. Due to recent uprisings at the Friday night dances, Student Govt. has found it necessary to review a motion made by Alan Saidman on October 17, 1966, that proposes a new policy for college dances: the organization sponsoring the dance must provide a policeman to enforce peace and order during the length of the dance. This mot ion must be read two more times before it is accepted as Student Govt. policy. N - Notice to all clubs! It is now an official Student Govt. policy that all clubs will be fined $1.00 a day per every academic day that they neglect to return their activity forms to Student Govt. Remember: activity forms must be returned one week before the scheduled event. T - Timely topic in Student Govt. modernization: the Council of Club Presidents. Student Govt. has initiated a committee to formulate the basic ideas for such a council. Committee chairman Barry Miller will be assisted by Judy Simonson, Joan Kirschenbaum, Jean Marie Chapasko, and George Pawlush. G - Goal of Student Govt. - to provide the students of Wilkes College with a really great Spring Concert. Judy Simonson, organizing chairman, is working diligently to find the most plausible outlet for this future goal. 0 - Office of Research , a new addition to Student Govt. President Matt Fliss has appointed Judy Simonson to be in charge of this office. Her duty will be to become acquainted with back policies and precedences of Student Govt. so that they can easily be referred to as consistent records serve as guiding posts for future actions. V - Verdict regarding a Friday night dance. At one of the recent college dances, a Wilkes student reported a lost overcoat which had been checked at the door. Since the loss had to be attributed to a faulty coat-check-service, the club sponsoring the dance was made responsible for · reimbursing the individual for his loss. T - "Trial of the Library." It has been brought to Student Govt.'s attention that the library does not offer an adequate atmosphere for studying. After an informal investigation, it was discovered that the majority of students are anxiously awaiting the completion of our new library, and their impatience has caused a rather superficial criticism Dr. Dev gives Xmas message The United States should support the proposed economic e m b a r g o against Rhodesia. Previously the U.S. government had little active interest in any internal problems of Africa, but first the Congo crisis and then the Rhodesian problem have awakened the American State Department. Possibly, there are some who feel that the U .S. should support an independent Rhodesian g o v e r n m e n t against an imperialistic Britain. In fact the situation is almost the reverse of this; the native population had more representation under British rule than they have now. The present Rhodesian government is controlled solely by the white minority of that nation with little respect or representation for the vast majority of the population (anoth.e r Union of South Africa in the making) . Not only is Ian Smith's Rhodesian government an aristocracy, but it is also an illegal government. As a rebel government, Smith's aristocracy does not represent Rhodesia in the world A Holiday Thought by Dr. G. C. Dev From the early years of my life, Christmas has been a source of inspiration to me. Though born in a nonChristian family under the influence of liberal religious thoughts, since my college days it has been my practice to celebrate Christmas and share its spiritual significance. More than a decade back it has been my proud privilege to introduce Christmas as an annual festival in a hall of the University of Dacca in my country, Pakistan. Since then, Christmas is being celebrated there every year by the Christians as well as the non-Christians in full cooperation and understanding. The rituals of a formal worship: reading of the holy texts, Christmas tree and the cake, sermon and carols, make it a religious festival in the full sense of the word and add to its richness. This is quite justified, I believe. In a very real sense, the message of Christmas is universal. and not barred by limitations of age and clime. In a world about to be crushed under th~ wanton use of destructive powers, the futy~e of man lies in an abiding faith in universal love. Power has failed man and it is time we must keep it within bounds by love. Viewed rightly, this is what Christmas means and stands for . by Beverly Crocker Ed's Note: Mrs. Crocker is the housemother at 7 6 West South. God help me as I live this day to say kind w.ords at work and play, to have a smile for friend and foe, to spread your love each place I go. If I should fear in any way, If I should wonder what to say, Help me remember all day through I'm your child - I belong to you. From this angle we should look at the immortal utterances: "Blessed are the peace-makers for they shall be called the children of God. " Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth," and assess their importance for modern man perpetually in search of peace and almost invariably baffled with frustration and despair. True religion lies in peace, making for it and not in tension and conflict which add to human miseries and make the burden of man heavier. Through the column of the Beacon, I would now like to wish all concerned a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, a New Year of prosperity and peace. community. Britain, however, was going to overlook the rebellion if Smith would reform the government in order to give the entire population representation , but Smith refused. Economic pressure is Britain 's only effective alternative, and the U.S. should support this alternative. If the U.S. does not support efforts to either force Smith to overhaul his government or to eliminate it, these actions of Smith will appear to be favored by the U.S., and thus make America an enemy in the eyes of the other independent African states. Both the Soviet Union and Red China would certainly take advantage of any failure of the U.S. to force reform in Rhodesia by making the U.S. appear as a supporter of imperialism. They, of course, would become the "supporters .of free peoples against the imperialistic West." Therefore, if the American government wants to gain the respect of Africans while leaving no areas for Communists to infiltrate, it should strongly favor economic · pressures against the rebel Rhodesian government. It would be unwise at the present time for the . U .S . to attempt to overthrow the Rhodesian government by force because of its already overextended forces in . other parts of the world, but this does not rule out the use of the United Nations' police force if the economic methods fail. It is about time that the U.S. takes more interest in the affairs of Africa. Even though the maj.ority of the African states are neutral, this doesn't mean that they value freedom any less than we do. Supporting the economic embargo of an illegally established government would be the first step in showing the Africans that we care. Only by doing this can we ever expect to have the support .of the African nations both in the U.N. and in other world involvements. WHAT-WHERE-WHEN CONCERT - W. B.

Editorials Students no Candides The edge which the BEACON has recently acquired, honed on the representative tangerine uproar, is being criticized by the establishment. The anger appears to be fired by the fear that this blade would sever the umbilical cord which binds the College to the community. This fear is based on the fallacious assumption that the community expects the College to be a quiet, non-controversial haven, peopled with quiet, non-controversial sponges. The question is not whether the administration should present a peaceful facade at the expense of student freedoms, but whether this is what the community really expects. Campus publications are "by and for" the students. If at times misguided or hasty, they are developmental, a forum for growing thought and awareness. Students have the right, if not to affect campus issues, to discuss them. Yet each discussion of a controversial issue brings administrative frowns and is considered to be a major setback for the public relations office. Does the establishment really believe that the community looks with contempt on the College, teeming with teen-age radicals, merely because editorial comment, reflecting student thought, appears concerning campus news. That the community knows this is not "the best of all possible worlds" was evinced by the recent ousting of the mayorial system, aided by students. We believe that the community would prefer interested, active people, even if criticill, to apathetic nonentities. If the language is not reverential and diplomatic, it is student speaking to student. Let the publicity department couch the doctrine of the school in any terms it wishes. If "outsiders" insist on taking their news from the student source ••• Well-that says something doesn't it? Prof points out factors No Carpe Diem Reagan, again Dear Editor: Last week's editorial in the Beacon, entitled '" Brave New World that has Ronald Reagan in it," shows beyond doubt the depths to which the Beacon must descend in order to provide the newspaper with an editorial. The lack of knowledge of those who wrote the editorial is so evident that the editorial becomes completely ridiculous. For example, in the fourth paragraph, you state: '"These people, like Reagan, think that the gilded age was golden .... ·· Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Langua_ge defines gilded as, "That which is overlaid with a thin layer of gold or that which is coated with a gold color." In other words, your editorial had this to say: These people, like Reagan, think the golden age was golden. This is an extremely brilliant deduction on the part of your editorial writers. • Black IS the color While several articles in this week's BEACON seem to point toward a black Christmas attitude on the part of certain students, we would like to point out that these articles are merely symptomatic of our generation's disgust with the hypocrisy which generally surrounds many Christmas institutions. Crass commercialism often appears to have supplanted the religious meaning of Christmas. And when such commercialism is mocked, its satire should not be confused with a rejection -on the part of the satirists of Christmas religiosity. It is necessary to point out a difference between the material and spiritual aspects of Christmas since the feast should not be prostituted by sanctioning those activities which seek gold. We understand the profundity of the religious significance inherent in the celebration of Christ's birth. Let's only concentrate on that.

In the same paragraph, your editorial states: "Reagan's election was a thrust on the part of the older generation to hold onto everything they hold dear, like crab apple pie and phony patriotism." Your editorial gives me the picture of a bunch of gray-haired old people tramp I in g young persons on the way to the polls to hold onto something they hold dear. The truth, however, is that the state of California is a state with a very high degree of young people as a percentage of total population. In fact, California has been a leading state in a nationwide population trend where more and more of the total population is made up of persons under thirty years of age. You must not forget that it was not old people alone who elected Reagan. Surveys taken before the election showed a high degree of young voters planning to vote for Reagan. Would you believe that some college students voted for Mr. Reagan? Let me make this one final point. In your effort to find some material from somewhere to grace the pages of this newspaper, you have allowed yourself to criticize a man before he has had chance to prove himself, and you have ridiculed the electorate of the state of California. This, indeed, is a great accomplishment. Respectfully yours, Norman H . Kresge, Chairman Young Republicans of Wilkes May I comment on the editorial in the Beacon of December 9 in which the writer expresses the opinion that youth wants life now, without regard to the past or the future? I am not a parent, but as a teacher, I share with sincere parents two principle aims. Most parents and teachers try in varying degrees, first, to prepare young people in such a way that the young people can at the proper time meet the problems of life as mature independent individuals, and second, to teach young people how to share with their parents and teachers ( in our case, in a college setting) or other adults those activities which make life enjoyable and meaningful. The maturity sought for has four aspects (biological, social, economic, spiritual) no one of which can · be attained by a lone individual himself. Man has evolved as a social animal. and no individual can exist meaningfully entirely alone. Whereas the ability to concentrate on the immediate event is a tremendous asset to anyone, the reference of an immediate event has to be framed in terms of the past and the future. I pity the writer of the editorial because I think he has missed, is missing, and will miss so much in life by his shortsighted attitude. I am sure that every member of the faculty at the College pursues, in addition to his vocational interests, at least one vocational activity which he would be more than pleased to share with any student who truly seeks an enjoyable and meaningful life. I recognize the problem of communication between successive generations and am very grateful for what was passed on to me by those adults who took the trouble to get the message through to me in my early years. That the members of the faculty of the College are willing to communicate with the students of today and are making such an effort, I am certain. What is needed is a willingness on the part of students to consider what we have to offer and why we make the off'!r before they reject the offer. Respectfully, Charles B. Reif Explanation with strange questions about my letter last week. Honest, I was not REALLY presuming to speak for the inner workings of 1.999 students' minds. Won't some existentialist PLEASE explain that you can judge another's thoughts only by appearance? So my position remains firm. The College's present policies toward assemblies should be supported by the faculty unless the students indicate a well-ordered opposition. Whose side should the faculty be on, if not the students'? Peter Nitchie Student Voice Dear Editor: Please tell the person who criticized "Name Withheld" that he is not in the right when he assumes that the Wilkes College students are " resoundingly enthusiastic" over assembly programs. Hasn't he been reading the Beacon? Tell him to ask the general opinion, or, better yet, why doesn't the Beacon hold a poll in one of its issues to prove it? One Who Knows Assemblies, again Dear Editor: I wish to lend my enthusiastic support to last week's editorial on student self-expression. It's about time to stop grumbling in diffuse and ineffective spurts. We need to express ourselves roundly and clearly - how else can we build healthy relationships with the faculty? However, I honestly don 't understand why the Beacon so cynically advises all students to remain anonymous. What is there to fear? In view of Mr. Nitchie's enigmatic letter on withholding names, I should like to be able to lend mine to the cause. But enough of my good friends who knew I was writing the letter have cautioned me against it so that I have begun to wonder whether they are paranoid or I am naive. Name Withheld Thank You Dear Editor: Will the toils of a misheeded writer never cease. I find myself besieged Dear Editor: Please thank Mr. Stein and Mr. and Mrs. Tymchyshyn who chaperoned the art club trip to New York.

It was Christmas Eve, and "he" was coming. Outside, the noisy, wintry wind was playing with the rigid trees, decorated with the still falling Bakes of snow. Both combined to create weird animated images on his mirror. His ears had already accustomed themselves to the silence and his eyes to the darkness. Yet whispering noises of wrapping and talking had traveled to his room and reached his sensitive ears. Could it be "him" bringing his presents? Eventually, _ the mystery was too much of a temptation for his curiosity. Tip-toeing on the cold, bare Boor, he opened his bedroom door and ventured forth . Each footstep on the aged, wooden Boor was accompanied by an unwelcome cricket-like chirp. Stopping, he seriously questioned what he was about to do, and then stealthily poked his small head between the banisters. His sleepy eyes just stared at the strange, unexpected scene. In a daze, he mechanically walked back to his room to seek refuge. Somberness had replaced all lightheartedness. A warm tear slowly rolled down his cheek. His world of fantasy had crumbled, and he cried. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 6 Friday, December 16, 1966 Melba Toast and others appear at Prof's lecture by Richard Maye Did you know that celebrities have been visiting the lectures of a particular class at the College? According to the names on the role sheet, many distinguished people have appeared. The names which follow are the actual ones written during the fall semester. BULLETIN BOARD The Junius Society has presented to the College the three blue-spruce trees which have been presently erected on Chase lawn. The trees, twenty feet tall and nearly fifteen feet in circumference at the base, were decorated by the student body on Friday aftrnoon. The Junius Society also presented the five, eight foot, long-needle pine trees which have been placed in several dormitories. On Friday and Saturday, December 16 and 17, between noon and 3 p.m., there will be a $5 and Under Art Show in Conyngham Annex. Designed as an easy and inexpensive way for students to gain original art works, it is a novel idea here at the College although this type of art show is a relatively well-known idea at other schools. It is hoped that this experiment in offering inexpensive, quality works will continue and gain popularity. {Continued from Page 1) Wt:tO!S WHO Hall.

She was a member of the Executive Council in her sophomore year and presently belongs to the Spanish club. An English major, Barbara plans to teach school on the secondary level after graduation. Antoinette M. Supchak Antoinette M . Supchak, daughter of Mrs. Helen Supchak, 6 Prospect St., Plymouth, is an elementary education major. She is president of Theta Delta Rho, has been on her class Executive Council for two years, was a member of the kickline, and is currently a member of the education club. After graduation, Toni plans to teach elementary school. James J. Urisko James J. Urisko, president of the Jaycees, is the son of Mr. & Mrs. Andrew Urisko, 335 River St., Forty Fort. He is a member of the Dean's List and was ·manager of the soccer team for two years. An economics major, Jim would like to attend graduate school and then teach on the college or university level. The show is open to the entire student body; the only request made is that all work be suitably matted. The Inter-Dormitory Council will hold its annual Christmas party Monday, December 19, from 9 to 12 p.m. in the College gym. Co-chairmen of the affair are Hallie Raub and Mark Rosenbaum. This year's event will feature a buffet dinner, entertainment by the Starfires, and a visit by Santa Claus (alias Dean Ralston) during intermission. Gifts will be presented to Mr. Elliot, adviser of IDC; Dean Ahlborn, Dean Ralston, the cafeteria staff, and the chaperones: Miss Millie Gittens, Mr. Hoover, and Mr. Roberts. Invitations have been extented to all the faculty members and the administration. Serving as chairmen of committees are: Shelly Sheldon, decorations; Susie Kallen and Margie Shaffer, gifts; Sue Conners, invitations; Pete Reis and Pamela Eustis, food. Attire is casual, and men are required to wear suit coats. First on the list was Miss Melba Toast. I found her in perfect health although slightly on the thin side. She explained her weight loss as a result of the recent Broadway production in which she starred, No Pats on Me, a sequel to a former play, The Woman Who Came to Dinner. When questioned about her appearances in lecture, Miss Toast explained that she had had a burning desire to enrich her life, to butter things up and that one could always find a few lardheads in lecture. Chuck Wagon and T. Shirt have made several appearances. Both explained that they had recently worked as ranch hands but as of the moment were unemployed. Mr. Wagon stated that in lecture an employment opportunity existed, that is, an opportunity for Mr. Shirt and himself to do what they could with the dumb asses and stubborn mules found there. Next, I was able to talk with Sophia Loren. Miss Loren related to me the fact that production had come to a standstill on her new film BUSTING OUT ALL OVER. Excuse me, I meant to say, SPRING IS BUSTING OUT ALL OVER for lack of dogs. She directed herself to the lecture hall having been informed that behind those doors was a city pound with all varieties of the specie she was after. MERRY John R. V erbalis John R. _Verbalis, son of Atty. & Mrs. John Verbalis, 171 Park Ave., Wilkes-Barre, is a music major. He was the accompanist for the Mixed Chorus, the staff pianist for the Scranton Ballet Guild, the Northeast Regional Ballet Conference, and the Scranton Singers Guild. He belongs to the Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic Orchestra and will solo on March 6. A Dean's List student, John would like to attend graduate school and then teach on the college level and do concert work. Donald Duck happened to appear by mistake. When asked how this occurred, he briefly stated "Quack!" Interpreted, this means ( besides its face value) that when he asked the cop on the corner which way to Fantasyland, he was directed, of course, to the lecture hall. Al Capp was casting as was ·Mel O'Drama for some new characters to be used in comic and film strips respectively. Mr. Capp explained that he was revising his frequently used theme, SWINE (Students Wildly Indignant about Nearly Everything), and thought some of the students in lecture might 811 the bill. Mel stated that he found numerous comics, and their antics were nothing short of perfection. However, he privately told me that comedians were not to his liking - "No real substance to them." Another disappointment occurred, this one to Quasimodo. The famed bell ringer of Notre Dame had heard of the large bells in lecture, but upon coming to class found them to be nothing more than dumb-bells. CHRISTMAS by Irene M. Norkaitis In January, 18 people will be starting their accounting internships with many well known firms. Among the firms the students will work for are: Laventhal, Krekstein, Griffith, and Company, Wilkes-Barre, Philadelphia, New York; Haskins and Sells, WilkesBarre; Price, Waterhouse, and Company, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia; Authur Anderson, New York; Lybrand, Ross Brothers, and Montgomery, New York City; Baron, Strassman Company, Wilkes-Barre; and other local firms. by Frances Green I wonder how a man survives Who doesn't care or feel or see; I wonder if he'd realize That he too, has a destiny ... Who is it that calls upon the souls of men? That haunting monster with fate in his hand ls fate the life-force, the itinerate, Who sets the souls of men conquered? The student will work as if he were a permanent employee of the firm and will serve in the capacity of a junior accountant. He will receive $500 a month salary and will have to pay his own expenses. This will give the student a chance to gain practical experience in his field . If he performs well, it is possible that the firm will offer him a job on a permanent basis. During the internship, between January 23 and March 11. a member of the College's accounting department will visit the various offices and review the progress of the student with the person in charge of the department and also obtain the reactions from the student as to the experience he will be gaining. I wish that I could find the goal, More that I might seek the source To delve midst chaotic chance to find That unresolved mystery. A mystery whose face is life, Whose body embraces the toils of time, Whose limbs reach out, but never grasp Those answers sought. Could there once be a man who tries To find and at once discovers truth, Would he then be satisfied with life? Could he develop and live his youth? I also interviewed Cora Sweetwood, a former citrus tree; but now a real fruit. Miss Sweetwood is well-known for her sour puss. Her comment as to why she appeared in lecture was, "I seemed ripe for adventure." One of the most unusual persons appearing was Mr. Gene Shuffler, the noted playboy and author of You Move, and Shuffling Along. Gene stated that he came to lecture after having been denied the honor of presenting an assembly. The Administration vetoed the idea. The College policy is "No demonstrations!" They fear that something will arise out of the situation. Gene left the students with one remaining thought, "You can't take it with you." My last interview was with Chuck Roast, who appeared the day after Mr. Shuffler. Although finding the situation a bit hot, he was able to get things down to a simmer. Mr. Roast, Bertha Clutch, well known for her well seasoned in the art of cooking burlesque routine, was able to talk to (Adolph's taught him everything he me after her pornographic, I mean knows), has just as warm a personphotographic interview with the fea- ality as Mr. Shuffler or Miss Toast. ture writers of various magazines and Chuck related to me that he had come other publications.

Four newcomers broke into the veteran line-up and all won with three: Marfia, Kasehenback and Cruse winning via pins and Doug Forde taking an 8-3 decision. Defending MAC champions, Dick Cook and Al Arnould both won with Cook running up the highest score of the meet. MAC runner-up Jim McCormick also showed fine form by decisioning his opponent easily, 10-3. Co-captain Fran Olexy held his opponent to only I point in gaining his first decision of the year. The four newcomers won their berth on the starting team from experienced lettermen, attesting to Coach Reese's ability to come up with winners. In the lower weight classes, Reese can go with a wide variety of combinations adding depth to the team.

He is Reuben Daniels, a 6 foot one inch business administration major from Chester, Pennsylvania. Last week against Lycoming, Daniels led the Colonel scoring efforts with 23 points. He was also the high man against Ithaca and Wagner. He is currently leading the Colonels in individual scoring with an average of 15.5 points per game. Daniels is not only a top scorer, but he is also one of the better rebounders on the team. When it comes to defense, it is not unusual to see Daniels blocking three or four shots a game. Daniels graduated from Chester High School. where he played basketball under Ron Rainey , the Colonels' present coach. While at -Chester. Daniels was voted Most Valuable Player and was a member of a team that compiled a 23-1 record. Last year as a freshman, Daniels earned a letter while gaining honors as the Colonels' high scorer. We look for even better performance from Daniels in the future. by Bob Thompson The Colonels played their finest game of the season, and for that fact the best game in several seasons, but finally succumbed to a veteran Lycoming squad 78-75. It seems lately the Colonels always give a good showing against the Warriors. Last .year they lost by scores of I 10-102 and 100-95. The high scoring Warriors were MAC Northern division champs last year with an average of 88 points per game. With the same personnel returning including All-MAC selections Travis and . O'Donnell, the Warriors averaged nearly 100 points per game in their first three contests. With this in mind, the Colonels concentrated on defense and held them to only 78 but were not able to muster enough points to pull out a victory.

The warriors used a fast break and managed to keep a few points ahead of the Colonels throughout the contest until they tied the score at 70-70. Led by Travis and O'Donnell, Lycoming extended the score to 77-75 and with one minute left froze the ball . The Colonels were forced to foul to stop the clock and Lycoming sub Jula scored his only point of the game putting the game out of reach of the home forces. The game was decided on th e foul line with Lycoming sinking 24 of 34 while Wilkes made 9 of 13. At a height disadvantage, the Colonels were forced to foul, and it was the difference in the contest since the Colonels led in field goals 33-27. Five Colonels scored in double figures indicating a fine team effort. Also most baskets were scored on assists. High for Lycoming were Travis with 22 and O'Donnell with 20. Daniels was again high for Wilkes with 23 points. Wagner The Wilkes cagers stepped out of their class last Friday night and were soundly beaten by Wagner College 89-44. Wagner, whose schedule includes the likes of NYU, Seton Hall. Fordham and Bucknell , scored the first two points and were never headed. The Colonels were again at a height disadvantage but like never before. The five Wagner starters all dunked the ball with ease, including 5' 1 I" guard Obey. The Colonels constantly had shots blocked and were out rebounded to the unbelievable margin of 63-22. To add to the Colonels' woes, the team arrived 25 minutes after the scheduled start of the game due to a breakdown and had to take the court immediately after a six hour car ride. Not at peak efficiency and playing a superior quint, the Colonels succumbed early. Wagner jumped to an early 16-5 lead and put in the second squad.

Through discussion at its open meetings, the subcommittee has decided to construct a feasible honor code which follows the plan outlawing lying, cheating, and stealing. to Wilkes - it must be idealistic in character and practical in application before it will be accepted." At the last meeting these terms were discussed and defined. The group decided that the use of dormitory files or previously given tests did not constitute cheating if old tests suggested the questions which would be given on recent exams. Many teachers , in fact, distribute executed tests to students as an aid in studying. Ron Rittenmeyer- "I believe that it would benefit Wilkes because it would create better unity within the student body. It would also instill more respect in the students for the academic program at Wilkes, as well as in people not directly associated with the College. " Pictured are Rich Roshong, president of the Lettermen, and Ralph Hendershot, chairman of the upcoming Lettermen's Christmas formal. Joan Brobyn- "It's been proven by some of the teachers that an honor system will not work, for there are always a few students who don't have the integrity to make the system work." The Lettermen will sponsor their annual Christmas formal at the Holi day Inn , across from the Veteran 's Hospital. on Friday, December 16. Music will be supplied by Herb Green's Orchestra, and dancing will A few students have compiled a skeletal form for an honor code which would be reasonable f o r Wilkes students to follow. The original plan of the subcommittee was to present the topic of adopting an honor code in assembly. They wished to arouse student intereest by inviting everyone to attend the discussions held in the new cafeteria lounge on Tuesday evening at 7:30 p .m. However, they have received a poor response thus far. Consequently, a small group is contributing to the proposal of such a system. An honor code suitable for adoption at Wilkes will be developed and presented to the students sometime next semester. In order to be established as a policy of the college, the code must be accepted by a quota of students exceeding the simple majority.

Large audience hears first lecture of series by Klaus Loquasto The Community Lecture Series, "Contemporary Problems of Man,'' enjoyed a large audience for its first presentation last Monday evening at the Center for the Performing Arts. The speaker, Andrew G. Freeman , executive director of the Urban League of Philadelphia and graduate of both Alabama State College and Ohio State University, discussed "Civil Rights and Race." As he spoke of sociological facts and personal experience, emphasis was placed on the present situation of Negro Americans and on the probable situation of Americans in the future. Concluding his lecture, Mr. Freeman entertained questions from the audience, many of whom show a genuine awareness of current race problems by their pertinent responses. doxically, a steady decline in Negro living conditions is now discernible . Negro earnings, Freeman pointed out, are decreasing year by year, and Negro unemployment is correspondingly increasing. Presently unemployed are approximately 25 percent of all able Negroes who apply for work; this , therefore, does not account for those who have "given up. " If Federal standards for poverty were used, in fact, 60 out of every 100 Negroes in America would be in poverty. As a result, Negro children generally receive 3½ years less education than white children, and this is inferior to that of whites. This, then, seems to perpetuate what Freeman called a "vicious circle." Also Freeman, are the early deaths of Negro parents. They usually die seven years sooner than do white parents. Freeman began his speech with a description of the urban Negro's present situation in the North. He first disclosed that the Negro populations in many major northern cities are nearing or surpassing majority. The white Anglt> - Saxon population of Philadelphia, for instance, is presently a minority group . Freeman then went on to consider some possible effects on the lives of future generations. He suggested that Negroes have "soft-pedalled the issue" too long and that the civil rights movement should eventually be accelerated. But he predicted that although demonstrations would probab- This predominance of Negroes in northern cities has been caused by an influx ( probably beginning after the Civil War) of southern Negroes in search of better opportunities. Northern conditions, however, were found to differ little from the Negroes ' previous state of living. To help alleviate these conditions in the cities, the Urban League was organized. It currently consists of units in 77 cities of the United States, and three of these branches, which include Philadelphia, are located in Pennsylvania. Although the Urban League intended originally to ameliorate Negroes, Freeman spoke of its present "interracial approach " in bringing all people together. The Urban League, he added, cooperates greatly with the N .A .A.C.P., which is known for its sober approach to racial problems and for its capable Negro leadership. Satire is topic ol Gutin's talk With the help of such organizations, great progress in the enactment of civil rights measures has been made since World War II. But para- Tonight, the third in a series of faculty seminars will take place in the faculty lounge of Weckesser Hall. Tonight's speaker will be Mr. Stanley Gutin, assistant professor of English. His topic will be "Satire: Laughter as a Lethal Weapon." Mr. Gutin intends to present a history of satire and discuss its appearance in and effects on various civilizations. He will also cover satire's development from other literary genres, cover its aims and explain why satires are written. Moderator of tonight's lecture will be Dr. Benjamin Fiester, head of the English department. The next faculty seminar will be held on January 13. Dr. Thomas Mizianty will then present his talk entitled "From the Hands of the Geneticist, Good Lord, Deliver Us. " ably continue, the general civil rights movement would become more sophisticated, by such means as legislation. Freeman further predicted that Negro candidates will eventually run for every office in politics; the mayors of many cities, for example, will be Negroes. This will happen because of the present change in Negro voting. In recent elections, the Negro vote has become more selective; more interest has been shown with individual candidates and with civil rights measures than with party affiliations. Now, because of large population of Negros in cities and because of the improved leadership among them, the Negro vote will become increasingly important in elections, and Negro candidates, Freeman believes, will ;ippeal to the total electorates. Freeman stressed that above all, the Negro must be granted first class citizenship, and he suggested several ways in which college students could help now. The major concern of college students should be for quality integrated education. They should encourage Negro high school students to continue into college, and they should, if possible, take summer jobs as social workers in slums and Negro neighborhoods, where the basic problem could be observed. In closing, Freeman reminded us that in a country where black people are in the minority and in a world where white people are in the minority, "we must learn to talk to each other." Alumni odopl amendments At the annual business meeting of the College Alumni Association, held during Homecoming Weekend, the following proposed amendments were adopted: During the month of March, each senior class will elect a president, vice - president, secretary, treasurer , and five trustees , each of whom shall serve for a term of five years. These provisions are to become effective as of January 1, 1967. �Page 2 WILKES Brave New World that has Ronald Reagan in it Merely looking at the context of the present in terms of the future, anyone could have seen that most likely there " ould be a clash between the governor-elect and the campus at Berkeley. One prevailing analysis of the Berkeley situation characterizes the hostility between the demonstrators and the admin;stration as symptomatic of the breach between the generations. Perhaps even more symptomatic of this breach is the election of Reagan himself. The constituency which elected Reagan was obviously not very perceptive. Obviously. Very few people with any perception would have chosen Reagan over Pat Brown. All of which indicates that somebody's crazier tha~ somebody else, and Mario Savio certainly is not the crazier ~ne. Reagan's election was a thrust on the part of the older generation to hold onto everything they hold dear, 1:ke crab apple pie and phony patriotism. These people, like Reagan, think that the gilded age was golden; and although they fought facism, most of them fought it for all the wrong reasons since many of these same people often take refuge in neo-facist and pseudo-patriotic ideas. Only a generation obsessed with seeing the good in the past would elect Reagan governor. And at the same time, the older generation unfortunately looks to the future in order to accomplish their so-called goals; that's why so-called moderates think that the negroes should move slowly and let another hundred years pass in order to arrive at citizenship. On the other hand, many college students do not see the future as a vague, nebulous messianic age. On the contrary, they see the present in terms of the future and not in terms of the past. They want the millennium now and do not want as a panacea for inaction the promise of its occurrence in the future. Our generation finds it difficult to see ahead since its vision is spectered by Red China, nuclear war, and obliteration. We have, consequently, a sense of urgency, and an impatience surrounding our present-day acts. Things have to be right, right now, for there is the fear that there may not be another chance. The breach between the generations is that the older is interested in the past or in the future, and that the younger is concerned with the present, with now. Guideposts to living The BEACON wishes to take this opportunity to publicly apologize to the students of the College. It is almost at the end of the first semester and not once have we given the students a blueprint for success at Wilkes. We would like to try to rectify this situation. Perhaps students may have divined the correct way for themselves by this time; however, there are some of us who are slow in learning. There is only one rule that the students must remember which can be stated very simply. Never advance an opinion if you can be associated with it. If you do, there are only two _c<_>nsequences which will follow. Both are harmful. Your opinion will either be completely ignored ( there are those students who are already familiar with this rule) or somebody will pay attention to it, which is just as bad because you will be severely criticized for such an unusual action. There are two popular ways to avoid being publically associated with any opinions or ideas. The easiest of the two is to avoid thinking of anything controversial (if indeed you must think at all). There are a few good books which will help those students who are not already proficient in this area. The first is Whether Mann's book entitled PREDICT THE WEATHER AND NEVER BE WRONG; or, GIVE IT TO THEM IN PERCENTAGES, and the second book is GOOD THINK by B.I.G. Brother. The second means to avoid expressing an opinion is probably a little harder to employ. It involves the association with a large group such as a mob, preferably one with over 200 members. By doing this, you are assured of remaining anonymous, and yet you can do and say anything you want with impunity. Once the students become well-versed in these principles set forth, they will be much better equipped for their trip through Wilkes. In addition the BEACON will be able to use page two for more important things than editorials or letters-to-the-editor. For instance, it might be used to present in toto the speeches of assembly speakers or the views of some organizations on campus that already adhere to the above principles. Once again the BEACON apologizes for not having acted sooner, but we never thought of it until now. WILK ■ S COLLEGE BEACON Editor-In-Chief • • . • • . . • • . . . • . . .

COLLEGE BEACON Friday, December 9, 1966 College's function lies in ability lo cause thinking by Richard Dalon Recently I read an article writ ten by Bertrand Russell entitled, .. The Conflicting Ideologies of East and West." He disagreed with the opin ion tha t the ideological questions play an important part in causing the tension between the East and West. He gives many reasons for this tension, but among the most important are that of the misunderstanding of fre edom and the constant reference to each other as " monsters:· with the s·t!:>sequent effect of fear. It appears to be a vicious cycle; each side believes the other, at any time, may attack and this causes hatred; the hatred increases the other side·s fear, and therefore the other side's armaments, and so it continues. However, Bertrand this solution: Russell offers "Each side must ackn<.>wledge that the destruction on both sides would probably be about equal and that nothing that anybody desires would result. Each side should say to the other, 'We have a common interest, which is to remain alive. We also have a common enemy, which is nuclear weapons. Let us conquer the common enemy and pursue our common interest in peace. Let us hate armaments instead of hating half of those who wield them. At present, both halves are mad, and each hates the other half for being mad. It is absurd that such a state of affairs should be prolonged by men with any shred of rationality. , ,, This problrm of nuclear disarmament, upon which the continuance of the human race may well depend , will soon find itself in the lap of today's youth , today's college student. Are they prepared to cope with this grave and burdensome problem? A better question might be, are our colleges and universities properly preparing them to face this and other similar problems? Reason, truth, knowledge Russelrs solution places the answer in the ability of people to think and act intelligently and compassionately. This necessitates the use of certain basic tools such as reason, an enthu- SG REPORTS by Judy Simonson, SG Representative Student Government has completed its proposal for the establishment of a president's advisory committee regarding pre-season and post-season athletic events and other sports matters. This committee is composed of and balanced by faculty, administration and students in order to provide a non-biased opinion concerning athletic issues which pertain to the Col lege. I feel this committee can work with Student Government to increase communication between students, faculty and administration. This group will formulate policies concerning preseason and post-season athletic events in addition to other athletic matters. The committee will meet at th e beginning of each academic year when it will elect its own chairman from among its members. Further meetings shall be called by the chairman or any member of the committee as the need arises. Also discussed at the last meeting was a steering committee for the CCUN, IRC and Junius Society, consisting of the presidents and vice-presidents of each club. This has been approved by SG. The purpose of this committee is to coordinate the activi ties of these clubs. However each club shall maintain its own identity. This is part of Tom Engle's proposed "bloc plan· · for clubs which had been discussed earlier this year. The Student Government is holding a Christmas tree decorating party today at 3 p .m.

It is the funct ion. therefore, of our colleges and universities to unceasingly strive to give these tools to the s tudents and guide them in their proper usage. It is not their function to inject the students with mere facts and figures, which they in turn regurgitate into a blue book. To be sure, it is more difficult and challenging for a professor to instill these ideas in the student, especially when he himself no longer possesses an enthusiasm for his own subject, but how much more beneficial it would be for the s tudent. This is of special importance for those who instruct in the humanities, particularly in the fields of philosophy, literature , and political science. Just how the student is presented with the material will have an incalculab le influence on his informal education; that is, the knowledge and wisdom he will seek when he leaves college. Turkeys But how often does the student, upon graduation, throw up his hands, and with a sudden burst of j<.>y and relief, declare his freedom from education, from learning, from books and therefore abandon the only meaningful purpose for existence? The facts and 6gures he learned in school will be forgotten the summer after graduation, but if he has been educated properly he will possess those tools or ideas I have spoken of, and then he will be ready and eager to embark on his new learning career.

Nome Withheld criticized Dear Editor: As a newcomer at Wilkes, I can hardly contain my bewilderment at the letter in last week's Beacon deriding the assembly programs. Why should th e disgruntled student want his nam e withheld from such a tame letter? Certainly not because of the administration's attitude. These men are so receptive to intelligent criticism that Dr. Farley even initiated a meeting for club presidents two weeks ago and went so far as to actively seek out suggestions from the students for changes in Wilkes' policies. Then agian, perhaps the student's timidity is not as paranoid as it seems. After all, nobody else has expressed a ny dissatisfaction whatsoever with the program in over two months. Apparently, then , 1.999 out of every 2,000 Wilkes students are resoundingly enthu siastic. Who can blame Mr. "Name Withheld " for not wanting to face 1,999 hostile, indignant students who might be afraid of being cheated out of their assemblies? They paid for them! Besides, some of those football players look pretty rough .. . Come, now. School spirit is fine, but isn·t violence carrying the enthusiasm for assemblies a bit too far?

The most frightening prospect for the near future is die possibility that either Israel and/or Egypt might develop nuclear weapons potentials. All the Arab countries and Israel are, and have been, developing stronger and stronger conventional deterrents, with emphasis on armour, air power, and conventionally armed missiles. Both Israel and Egypt have promised in one way or another not to be the first to add nuclear weapons to the middle eastern arms stockpile, but unfortunately neither country is particularly trustful of the other, and since there is no truly adequate system of inspection, each country would like to be as close as possible to actual development of nuclear weapons, "just in case". Consequently, each country continues to experiment with Israel in the lead. Where, you might ask, does the United States stand in the middle eastern turmoil? Until recently the U .S. encouraged and nurtured peace- College's function (Continued from page 2) Stuff a student, like a turkey, with trivial data and he'll riot and stomp his feet over insignificant campus problems; instill him with kindling wood for the fire of wisdom, truth, knowledge, and propriety, and he'll use his most valuable possessions - REASON AND INTELLECT. Formal education is paradoxically the most and least important form of education. Its importance lies in the fact that it is here that the foundation is laid for the more important informal education which begins upon graduation and never ends. This preparation, the erection of the superstructure, as it were, is the function of our universities and their professors. Educate students for this purpose, and they will be prepared to attempt the wlution offered by Bertrand Russell for world peace. Train the students according to Pavlov's method, and we will have a world of unthinking machines. $3,000 a year more But alas! This has all been in jest for I am aware, as everyone else is, of the real purpose of education. It resounds throughout America emanating from the press, the radio, high school advisors, statistics in magazines and articles, those who go to cnllege will earn $3000 more a year than high school graduates, M.A.'s will earn $3000 more than A.B.'s, and Ph.D.'s - their earnings are astronomical. What better reason can anyone find for education? ful internal development and did its best to stay out of local arguments. But, because of the increasing sophistication of middle eastern arms (facilitated in part by the internal development we fostered) , including the prospect of nuclear weapons, the fact that the United States is, to a certain extent, bound to aid British interests in the area, and the failure of repeated attempts at unity among the Arabs, deeper involvement has become necessary. The U .S . is helping King Hussein of Jordan to bolster his military power because he is pro-western, and he will act as a check against Nasser. We are also aiding King Faisal of Arabia by providing him with a more modern defense system. This is no doubt going to please Great Britain who has a certain amount of faith in Faisal. as well as guard our own interests in the area. Israel is also receiving military aid from the U .S . in the form of offensive Skyhawk bombers. Inner Turmoil At present any large scale armed aggression by the Arabs against Israel is unlikely. A good half of the Egyptian army is stuck in Yemen, and Egypt certainly couldn't fight a two front war. Nasser supporters in Jordan are giving King Hussein a hard time , and as usual the Arabs are watching one another suspiciously. The possibility of Arab aggression is ruled out for the present, but is there any possibility that Israel might feel that this is an opportune time to attempt to gain some concessions from a temporarily unbalanced group of enemies? The raids of November 13 indicate that Israel has something in mind. A student eating in the dining hall of Indiana University couldn't cut through his hamburger patty. When he finally did , he found a rubber band cooked in the middle. The dining hall officials explained that the meat is packaged in plastic bags secured with rubber bands and that one must have accidentally fallen into the meat. Seniors Evicted Because of a housing shortage, the Board of Trustees of Kutztown State College has announced that beginning in September, all seniors must live off-campus, either at home , in apartments, . or with approved families . Since i1n the past few years only about one-third of the senior class has lived on campus, the Board felt that it would be better to evict the seniors and make campus living space available to freshmen and sophomores rather than have them live off-campus.

They were sold. The College acquired them and turned the homes into Barre, Ashley and Butler Halls. Still, they sat unused in anticipation of the role in which th e College would cast them. The day came when the rumors were confirmed; classrooms were needed . They would serve here.

Finestein also states that 50 percent of the 18-21 age group have completed their formal education and are paying taxes, a fact which he labels taxation without representation. The Temple News editorial concerning the issue states that the " lack of maturity" argument is sheer opinion and has yet to be proven. It also terms as a very remote possibility the fea r that, with younger people voting, future campaigns would be keyed to a lower level - more irrational , watered down appeals to the young voters. Also in support of the issue is the chairman of the University's political science department who states that the earlier people are trained to take part in a democracy , the better it is for the system. Class Rank Abandoned Officials at Haverford College have eliminated the practice of evaluating students by their rank in class, a practice which they feel is "academically indefensible." Haverford feels that class rank is not only "imprec ise," but use of this criterion in Selective Service procedures is forcing draft-conscious collegians to sidestep courses which might be more educationally beneficial to them in favor of courses where grades are likely to be high er. Haverford officials admit that the emphasis placed on class rank by the Selective Service brought the issue to a head , but they quickly add that they have long been uneasy about an evaluation system that "compares the incomparable" and lets a tenth of a percentage point place one student ahead of another. Pictured above are the scale models of buildings which once stood on the site of Stark Hall. The display appears in the window of the o~ice of Stanley Wasilewski, a member of the math department, at the s ide entrance on Conyngham Hall. the infant mathematics department with its three members moved in. Now the sights and sounds of Mr. Wasilewski, Mr. Richards and Miss Hull were familiar in th ese buildings. Named "Mathematics Row ," these halls were soon in demand over the entire campus but remained in the hands of the math department. But a time came when even th ey had to give way to progress. The College's expansion program could not be stopped and "Mathematics Row " had to end. Stark Begun In 1956, construction of th e first section of Stark Hall was be\:Jun. The displaced classes were transferred to the home of th e Contessa Elena De Slyva, who resided in a large double- block which occupied the site of the Stark parking lot and the grassy area on South Franklin St. First one half, then the other was purchased for classrooms and then destroyed. Where once there were rooms filled with memories, now a large gleaming science building rose prom1smg a bright and progressive future for the College. That is the history of the tiny model which has provoked so much curiosity. It is part of a collection which Mr. Wasilewski has put together depicting the entire campus except for the Center for the P erforming Arts. The product of thousands of hours of work. this display now lies scattered. Perhaps one day the complete set will be di splayed for the entire student body . Opportunities great lor summer abroad by Richard Maye The International Student Information Service (ISIS) Brussels, Belgium, offers a guaranteed opportunity to work abroad , year-round and summer, in an English, French, German or other language area for two or more months. To date more than 2000 young people have been placed in jobs abroad . Any young person 17 ½ (by the tim e he or she wishes to \:JO abroad) to 40 with a desire to work and live abroad is eligible. A forei\:Jn lanqua qr is not necessa ry but is helpful, for language and grades are not as important as sincerity. After one is accepted, certificates of good heal th from your doctor and \:JOOd conduct from your local police department are required. Friends may work together if they apply togeth er. There are nine categories of work available ranging from Special (office work , etc.) to Camp Counselling, Hotel, and others in Great Britain, Europe, Scandinavia. Africa, Japan, and Turkey. The jobs available are similar to the temporary or seasonal work you would find at home . Some participants stay six months or more; some work at several different jobs in several different countries with salaries the same as those paid to the local citizens for th e same work. The benefits are immeasurable. By living and working with th e inhabitants of the country of their choice, students become steeped in the culture and traditions of that nation and learn more about the character of the people who constitute that country than even the most sophisticated tourists. Although the student is working, th e advantages of the touris t are open to him. During his free time or before or after the term of employment, he can visit museums, universities, etc., make trips to neighboring countries, and while working enter into the cultural life of the town or city in which he lives. Other than the educational growth there is a corresponding personality and character maturation. Adjustment to an alien environment with new and strange people, speaking in an unfamiliar tongue demand selfreliance and resourcefulness. The ability to function on one's own breeds self confidence-confidence to be used in all future endeavors in life .

Colonel grapplers op.e n al home this Saturday by George Pawlush After competing in a practice meet at West Point last weekend, the Wilkes matmen will open their season schedule at home against D elaware Valley tomorrow night. Coach John Reese will have nine lettermen returning to the mats this year. Returning letterman are: Jim McCormick ( 130), MAC runnerup; Joe Keifer ( 137 ), NCAA small college runnerup; Vic Altonen (145); Dave Hall (152); Joe Weindl (160); Dick Cook (167) , MAC champion and co-captain; Fran Olexy ( 177), co-captain; Barry Gold ( 177); and Al Arnould (heavyweigh t) , MAC champion. The Colonels finished last year as the # 2 small-college team. The only graduate was John Carr, one of th e top wrestlers in the country . Coach Reese's objective is to start # I and stay # I . Some promising newcomers who could help attain this goal include: John Madia, Steve Kashenback, Steve Kaplan, Joe Thunnel. Danny Kauffman , Doug Forde and Brinley Varchol. College Judo Clu~ gains surprising tie with "Y" On Tuesday, November 29, the College judo club, coached by black belt Paul Solomon, gained a surpr ising tie, 7½-7½ . in a match against the YMCA. The " Y " team, composed primarily of green belts, jumped to a 4-0 lead against the Wilkes team composed primarily of white belted beginners. Wilkes then swept the next five matches through the efforts of Bill Derr idson, Dale Highes, Matt Buglehall , Don Good , and Bob Holub. The "Y " team came back to take a 6-5 lead, but a win by Wilkes' Jim O 'Boyle in double overtime evened the match at six wins apiece. Wilkes ' Walt Orzechowski and the "Y's" Hugh Hughes drew, and a victory by the "Y's" Don Hopkins gave them a 7½-6½ lead. In the final match, Wally Hrynkiw of Wilkes faced John McViegh who holds a brown belt. Hrynkiw played cautiously, and when McViegh went to the mat in attempting a throw that failed, Hrynkiw pounced on him and pinn ed him. The win gave Wilkes one point and a very surp rising tie, 7 ½- Last week the Colonels opened the cage season with a win and a loss. They were defeated by the Royal s of Scranton in the opener 85-69, but came back to defeat Ithaca at home 90-65. In their opener against a veteran Scranton squad, the Colonels were trying to gain their first victory ever at the C.Y.C . and to add a win to the lopsided series record ( Scranton 22, Wilkes I). The final score did not indicate the closeness of the game as the Colonels still held a I point lead with 6 minutes remaining. The Royals opened the scoring on quick baskets by Jenkins and Witaconis, but the Colonels came right back and were always within a few points of the hom e forces. A quick spurt sparked again by Jenkins and 6'6" Witaconis who scored easily under the boards gave the Scranton club a 10 point margin until the end of the first half. Coach Rainey used nine men in an effort to narrow the gap, but every tim e a few points were chipped away, Jenkin s would swis h a timely basket to hike the margin. Jenkin s, who is thought by many to be an All-Amer-ican prospect, hit 50 percent of his shots, all Ion a jumpers, and kept the defense spread out enoug h to give Witaconis plenty of room to work near th e basket. The Colonels never gave up and were down 13 points at half time. and both Jenkins and Witaconis were in foul trouble. The Colonels came roaring back in the second half on a fine team effort coupl ed with a strong defense. Led mainly by co-captain Sharok and freshman Kemp , the Blue and Gold narrowed the margin until they tied the score at 60-60 with six and a half minutes remaining . Kemp then scored on a foul shot to give the Colonels the lead for the first time. The lead changed hands several tim es until Royal guard Bob Moylan nave his team the lead on a long set ~hot. With Witaconis grabbing rebounds and tossing lonq passes to Jenkins and Moylan , the Royals broke the game open and killed the Colonels' victory hopes. The Colonels played a good game but were at a disadvantage both in heig ht and experience. Another deciding factor was the shooting. Scranton hit on 50 percent of its shots from the field while the Colonels managed only 37 percent. No individual could be singled out for his performance as it was a team effor t, but freshman Herb Kemp played an excellent game with ICICICICIRICICICICICICICICICICICICICICICICICIC BOOK &CARD Joe Stankus, the Colonels big man takes aim on another goal as the cagers scrappy captain, Mike Sharok looks on.

Ithaca game Last Saturday the cagers opened their home season on a sweet note trouncing Ithaca 90-65 . Teamwork was the keynote with 5 players scoring in double figures. Captain Mike Sharok had 10 points. The Colonels dominated play from the first basket of the game scored by Sharok . The Colonels hit a high percentage of their shots and should be counted on to do this at all home contests. Coach Ra iney's charges, after an initial spurt , settled down with a ten to fifteen point lead for the remainder of the half, leaving th e score at intermission 46-33 . The first 10 minutes of th e second half ran the same until the Colonels finally caught fire on a series of fast breaks and some fancy plays to extend th eir lead to nearly 30 points. Ithaca pressed but to no avail. Throughout the contest, Coach Rainey substituted freely without losing effectiveness. This could be the Colonels" greatest assest in addition to their effective fast break. Reuben Daniels thrilled the crowd with his fancy dribbling which rendered the Ithaca press useless. Wednesday the Colonels played Lycoming College, Th e Warriors were th e top team in the M.A.C. Northern division last year and ha ve all but 2 of their first 7 back.

The formal will last from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., with music by Herbie Green's Orchestra. The cost of this affair will be $2.50 per couple, and the required dress is formal. It is open to anyone wishing to go. During intermission, entertainment will be led by Dean Ralston and the Lettermen. This half-time show will feature Christmas caroling and other yuletide entertainment. All couples will receive free Polaroid pictures, compliments of the Lettermen's Club. This campus athletic club plans to invite the entire athletic committee and members of the faculty to their holiday affair. This year the Lettermen are work- ing hard to get a large turn-out for this traditional formal. The dance committee chairman is Ralph Hendershot; other committeemen are being chosen now for the major work on decoration, advertisements, etc. The Lettermen report that their Homecoming raffle was a success, surpassing all previous marks; the proceeds came close to $1,000. These proceeds will go towards the worthy cause of providing a scholarship to the most deserving incoming athlete. The first prize, two tickets to the Army-Navy game, went to Mrs. M. K. Tarbart. Second prize, two tickets to a Broadway play, was won by A. J. Hoover. Third, fourth, and fifth prizes, turkeys, were won by Barbara Ohlin of Susquehanna Hall , Russ Hendershot from Forty Fort, and Joe Dougherty from Wilkes-Barre. ANDREW G. FREEMAN 1/tllgiclll Camelot Commended by Bill Kanyuck and Leona Sokash Cue 'n Curtain's production of Camelot under the direction of Alfred S. Groh was indeed a moment of magic. Lerner and Lowe's rendition of the Arthurian legends, while lacking significant depth, does make several comments on man's attempt to reestablish the world before the Fall, the world of Eden, and the deterioration of that world through man himself. In a play such as this , albeit rather simple, we really understood how finite, how limited are the perpetrations of man's aspirations. Man himself destroys his own dreams. But the dream is noble, and from this nobility of purpose arises the magic of Camelot. Love is the raison d' etre and the raison de mort of Camelot. It is Arthur's love for mankind (and therein is the reason for his and the play's emphasis on civilization), which brings about the creation of the Round Table. But it is also the love of Guenevere and Lancelot which b rings about its destruction. However, Lerner and Lowe intimate more strongly that Mordred is really to blame for the destruction of Camelot. And in such an accusation, their musical lo~es its ability to make significant comment because these writers do not see the dichotomy of good and evil in Lancelot and Guenevere and localize, instead, all wickedness in Mordred. Theref.<.>re, their play really becomes a struggle between one good guy, Arthur, two rather good people, Lancelot and Guenevere, ( who are, bye the by, attracted to each other because of fate and who, most importantly, do nothing wrong), and one thoroughly bad guy, Mordred. Lerner and Lowe's love triangle dominates the play and is one of the forces, albeit sentimental, which is no doubt responsible for the popular appeal of Camelot. The musical has several En.g le gives plans ol .Junius ~ociely by John Loughney Recently the Junius Society held a special election of new officers for the present academic year, I 966-67. At this meeting Tom Engle was chosen president; Sharon Daney, vice-president; Gail Hadsell, secretary; and Joe Buziak, treasurer. Chairmen of the six permanent committees and two additional ones are in the process of being named. The new president outlined the basic elements of his program and endeavored to answer two or three basic questions which have plagued the Junius Society since its inception. Among the new concrete ideas of the Society's program, a tutorial program is being organized to offer free aid to and history student of the College and to help on advanced course term papers. A room for the society is being sought; hours will be established when students requiring aid may find help. A program has been established for equal-sharing between the Wyoming Valley Historical and Geological Society and Junius Society of speakers, films, and discussions of each organization. The Junius Society is in the process of joining the Historical Society on a club membership basis and has been offered the use of that Society's meeting facilities for its own meetings. Members of Junius will also have open-research facilities available to them at the Historical Society. Several other programs and projects, which are now in the work- ing stages, will bring excellent, wellknown speakers to the College, plus fllms concerned with all aspects of contemporary and past significance, and discussion sections by and with other related clubs of neighboring colleges in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The basic question of any college organization is membership; that is, how to increase the working force of the club. This problem is being considered by the new officers as the primary difficulty to be overcome. Since it is a lack of communication that plagues most efforts of this sort, John Loughney, the chairman of the membership committee, is organizing a high-level advertising campaign to bring to the student body, the faculty, and th e community as a whole, the purpose, the new look, and the new program of the Junius Society and the advantages of membership. Membership is open to any student or member of the faculty and special memberships are available to members or associations of the community. A second problem facin!J most college organizations is c.onHict of in, terests, resulting in competition of purposes and goals. To meet this difficulty, a steering committee consisting of the officers .of Junius, IRC, and CCUN is being formed to consolidate the programs and projects of each of the organizations. Each organization will remain a separate entity in itself, reserving joint projects for speakers, films and discussions. sound comments on life and the world, but Lerner and Lowe are just too simple. However, the magic of the play arises not only from the nobility of the love element, the nobility of the triangle, the nobility of the Round Table, but also from the transporting effects of the setting, lighting, costuming and musical numbers. Andrew Palencar's sets not only reflected the months of hard work spent on them but also captured the magical mood of the play and thus transmitted it successfully to the audience. Joan Tymchyshyn is to be congratulated for her professional and effective handling of the lighting which heightened the fabulous atmosphere of the play. The elaborate costumes aided in creating a medieval setting and added to the play's charm. The orchestra, under the direction of Herbert Garber, successfully transported the audience into the ma!Jical world of Camelot. Their exciting opening overture set the stage for an evening of g<.><>d theater, and their accompaniment was most professional. Some of the most exciting musical moments in the play were the production numbers; that is, the tournament scene in which the chorus, through their singing and gesturing, conveyed the suspenseful actions of the jousts; the Round Table scene in which the kni!lhts robustly damn ed goodness; and the scene in which tl-e chorus describes Guen ~ve r~·s cor,demnation to the stake, Arthur 's dilemma as whether to save her or let her die , and Lancelot's subsequent rescue of his lady. The Chorus, under the direction of Richard Chapline, is to be specially commended for its professional and precise performance. Eliot Rosenbaum's bass voice is to be especially singled out for commendation. Carol Cronauer as Nimue had a distinct supernatural quality about her voice while she sang "Follow Me ." Both of her appearances on stage captivated these reviewers. Rhea Simms and Bob Sokoloski complemented each other both in voice and in acting. Both had the physical aopearances which easily fit in with their particular roles. As Guenevere, Mrs. Simms not only played very well the part of the very feminine queen, but also -her clear soprano conveyed the gaiety, tenderness, and sadness require'fl in her various numbers. Perhaps '. her best performances were the scene in which she led the chorus in the singing of the "Lusty Month of May" and her sad , but resolute "I Loved You Once in Silence" during the bedchamber (Continued on Page 4) by Carol Okrasinski The Community Lecture Series, entitled "Contemporary Problems of Man," will commence next week in the Center for the Performing Arts.

As a Volunteer in Service to America, Goodman will spend one year working with the office of Navajo Economic Opportunity in Pueblo Pintado, Ariz. During the six-week training program, he completed classroom studies and gained field experience by working with a project that is similar to his assigned training site. Goodman, 19, a 1964 graduate of E. L. Meyers High School in WilkesBarre, attended the College for two years before deciding to join VISTA. He has held summer jobs as a lifeguard and a sea lion trainer in Atlantic City. VISTA, the volunteer corps of the Office of Economic Opportunity, sends workers to projects that request aid in poverty pockets within the United States and its territories. They serve for one year, and they may extend LEIGH GOODMAN their term of service at the end of Leigh R. Goodman, son of Mrs. the first year.

Whether this seething belligerence :s merely symptomatic of our generation is merely a side issue, suitable for discussion among the older generation or those of us who are perceptive enough to be aware of this attitude. The question, however, is that our student body has been aroused, perhaps more so than in the past, to question, to question, and to question. That students were dissatisfied with the administration's handling of the Tangerine situation is obvious. Out of the wailing for Linos the good that prevailed was the beginning of a concerted effort to establish some sort of rapport or at best contact with the student body and the admin:stration. However, now that the football situation is in the immediate past, those members of the student body unaffected by the usual lethargy on campus are beginning to raise the old issue of compulsory assembly. As exemplified by today's letter to the editor, some students are extremely dissatisfied with the general fare of a ssembly lectures. While we also agree with today's letter that there are some good assembly programs, many have been generally unpalatable to student tastes. Student displeasure arising from assemblies results from the quality of speakers brought in before student audiences. And the probable reason for the several examples of mediocrity which have been heretofore witnessed is that the assembly committee is trying to do too much. It is rather hard to expect brilliance Thursday after Thursday when the monies appropriated must be utilized for speakers who appear on at least twenty different dates. Misericordia had Mark Van Doren in for a lecture; King's had John Ciardi last year, and the word is that the latter is planning to bring in Eric Fromm. The monies appropriated for speakers for the present system could better concentrate on speakers of similar fame. Of course, such assemblies could not be possible every week. Consequently, the solution to •the dissatisfaction over assembly would be better speakers and fewer compulsory assemblies. Cooperation An interesting editorial appeared recently in the King's CROWN, concerning the sad lack of cooperation between our College and King's. The possibilities which the combined facilities of the two schools offer, if combined effectively, could produce effects which stagger the imagination. The first of these cooperation miracles would be a combined library for use by both schools. Picture, if you will, an ultra-modern complex built at a location in close proximity to both. Not hard, is it? Add the funds reserved by each for the construction of new libraries, and you end up with a library containing every book in print. (Would you believe a third of the basic minimum needed in each department?) Back to the realistic we come however, and offer a suggestion that would supplement the inter-library loan system with one of our own. Each student from both colleges would receive a card entitling him to borrowing privileges at both colleges. The method now in use is cumbersome, time-consuming and antiquated. A little trust and cooperation could go a long way. The second on our list of handy hints and helping hands would be a change in the College policy on credit transfers. We face the reality that every department' cannot offer every course desired. But watch horizons expand when we offer advanced courses together. Yes, we can now take courses at King's and receive credit but no grade. Firte, but think of what it does to your average; and then, you become slightly disillusioned. Another boon to this great educational system would be the sharing of our teachers. In this age of specialization the general practitioner is obsolete, but no one department can cover all the areas of specialization or emphasis possible. Why can't we take advantage of the wealth of teaching ability within our reach? To the world of car pools, secretarial pools and swimming pools we can add the teacher pool! We must admit that the technical problems of the above suggestion are extensive, but with a little patience and understanding they could be solved. The opportunities for improving the educational systems of both colleges, and the rewards they promise more than outweigh the difficulties. So what if it takes two weeks to register at the gym? Maybe now there would be something worth registering for.

Dear Editor: At a recent assembly John Hen ry Faulk gave us our first completely enjoyable assembly program. H e accomplished what our previous guests failed to do. Mr. Faulk's topic, first of all, was broad enough to suit a large, heterogeneous audience such as assembl y . Humor, even limited by the word American, can be appreciated by almost anyone despite his individual interests. But such is not always the case wi t', , for example, a dissertation on poli tical issues in the corn belt. This narrower topic is better dealt with in special interest groups and classrooms, not in assembly. Furthermore , Mr. Faulk delivered his topic excellently. This is partly because he observed the basic rules which anyone should know before at tempting to speak to a large audience. H e spoke loudly and (despite his drawl) clearly; he spoke directly to the students instead of merely reading words to them, and he realized the value of intelligent gestures and appropriately placed anecdotes. Above all, he wanted to speak; he did not feel put upon as most of our other speakers apparently have. Lacking Good Programs I have seen definite things lacking in assembly this semester; Mr. Faulk has now given me the chance to point to some of them, in I hope a constructive manner. What I have pointed to, however, is altogether too obvif.>us to escape the attention of those who plan assembly programs and then make them mandatory. I conclude that these people are no more interested in providing g,ood programs than the students are in seeing the resultant poor ones. I also conclude that if the purpose of assembly is to create the feeling of unity among students, assembly, at present, is failing miserably . Looking at the assembly calendar, I predict five more programs this year worthy of the general interest of a group as large as ours. The other programs will be presented by, and undoubtedly for, special interest groups. Therefore, I ask the administrators and others responsible for assembly: Wh en will it end? Assembly is doing nothing for the students, and the present situation of compulsory attendance is mere pedagogism. Please provide students with a reasonably pleasant hour once a week or r id them of their ball and chain. Roused From Slumbers To the student body I ask: When will we make it end? We have to eat, but we can eat what we are fed, or we can choose our own diet; united, we have a choice. If assembly, then, is wasting our time, let us not shuffle feet, squirm, whisper, and generally "'mbarrass the speaker and our school; let us simply stay away. Together, we can hope to brave the bogy of compulsory attendance, but what is more important, perhaps our mass nonattendance can rouse some slumbering program planners and administrators to do something about a currently sad situation. The College Bulletin affirms that " . . . the intellectual and spiritual resources of the student are vigorous where the creative mind is free ." Name Withheld D ear Editor: Seven month s ago I assessed the needs of the student body and made seven campaign promises based on this assessment. I asked you to vote not for the man but for the policy. I believe that the May '66 election was the first to be run on policy.

I have opened these four doors to you and whether you choose to pass beneath the portal of experience is a decisi,on you must make. The establishment of a council of presidents is now under consideration ( for the purpose of establishing new lines of communication) . The fi rs t meeting of all club presidents was held in September. Eleven clubs, many of which are now the most audible in their gripes, were not present. A critical survey of the role of clubs was undertaken this summer. The result was a new policy of fostering, as much as possible, the idea of orientation to the community. I do not mind personal rebuke or group criticism when it is based on facts; but the reaction as to the non functional nature of Student GQvernment was based not only Qn stupidity, but equally on ignorance. Do not misconstrue this statemen t of progress as idle hornblowing. I am against the patting-yourself-on-thc back attitude. In the face of the often times destructive criticism which was leveled in the past weeks, I feel the need to point out the non-factu al basis of such criticism. The continued support of the many who help will hopefully not be endangered by the few who speak with barbed words which do little more than project inner disorganization and apparent lack of purpose. Matt Fliss Honor code talked about Due to the present discussion over the question of an honor system. the Beacon interviewed Matt Fliss, chairman of Subcommittee A of the Aca demic Integrity Committee in order to clarify several points that arise from a study qu estion of this type. What is academic integrity? Students would have the opportun itv to choose whether or not they woul:I want an honor system which would not only regulate the classroom but also their general behavior. Would the administration have more control? No. If the students accept the responsibility of honor, they accept the obligation to put it into action. How would they put it into action? Student Government could possibly institute a student judiciary and a student legislation. This would mean that students would have the right to try their own peers under laws which they have enacted in their legislature. What if an individual student does not want to accept an honor system? There is a possibility that if the student body establishes an honor system, only those students willing to abide by the system would do so right now. But one of the requirements of applying for admission to the College would be subscribing to the honor system. Thus, we would avoid ex post facto legislation. All new freshmen would be under the system, and in four years the entire student body would subscribe. What does an honor system do for the student? Student responsibility at many schools has meant that students were asked for their responsible opinion in evaluating the faculty and in evaluating the administration. Would these evaluations be fair? The right to hire and evaluate lies with the Dean of Academic Affairs - we can only suggest. Thus, the administration would possibly not fire an instructor because of students' critical reports. And the faculty would realize that the basis of an interpersonal relationship is trust and that (Continued on Page 4) �Friday, December 2, 1966 WILKES THE HIGH POST Tangerine Apttl by Walt Narcum It seems Doc Farley went into a huddle and called for a quarterback sneak. It might have worked, except he forgot to tell the rest of the team about the play. To make up for it, he called an audible at the line of scrimmage, but it turned out to be too little too late. The Colonels were 8-0 in regular season play, but lost a post-season game to the administration. It wasn't that they didn 't try, but simply that they were never given a chance. It's a shame! Not only the Colonels, but the whole school were the losers. A chance for the Colonels to prove how good they really were, a chance for individuals to advance their careers, a chance for Wilkes to get nationwide recognition: all were lost due to a shortsightedness all too common at the College. Maybe things will be different, but it isn't likely. A Modest ProJ)f:)Sal There's another letter that should have been written, and that one should have gone to the Lambert Bowl Committee. It was well known that Wilkes was number one in the mid-season balloting for the Bowl and unless something was done soon Wilkes would probably win this honor. Now it is too late, the Colonels have won the Bowl and an unwanted decoration has found its way to Wilkes. Just think of the expenses that would have been saved by a well-timed letter. Money would not have been needed for a nail to be put in the gym wall or to pay the people who will be employed polishing this trophy. By taking this decisive action, other clubs would have been encouraged to do their best, confident that they would never be burdened with unwanted honors. As it stands, the clubs will become very apathetic just by thinking of all the honors that will be forced upon them by the administration . New York Times Gordon S. White Jr. in a New York Times article on small-college football players had some kind words for Wilkes. White said that Wilkes' Yatko has been an important player for the Colonels, and even though Al hasn 't been getting the headlines of players from large schools, he ranks with them in playing ability. We heartily concur with this opinion. If only we could have received some of those big time headlines, things might have been different. In this issue of the Beacon Russ Jenkins is featured as Soccer Athlete-ofthe Year. We would have liked to pick a football athlete of the year but haven 't been able to. It isn't because there aren 't any outstanding football players; on the contrary, there are simply too many to be able to single out one of them. Actually this is a healthy state of affairs. The best team is usually a well balanced team, and the Colonels certainly had that. The soccer team also deserves some well earned credit. Their complete reversal of form was gratifying to Colonel sports fans. The added experl"ence of the team plus the able direction of Coach Neddoff was the difference .. this year. Despite the hooters ' loss to Elizabethtown last week, they are still cochamaps of the Northern Division and this is quite an accomplishment; in fact it is the first time that a Wilkes soccer team has garnered this honor. COLLEGE Colonels are lirsl team lo lake Lambert Bowl Wilkes College will go down in the record books as the first team ever to win the Lambert Bowl, symbolic of small college supremacy in the East. Wilkes came out on top of the balloting by a wider margin than either the Division I or Division II champions. We are the only undefeated and untied team in the East. The Colonels received a total of 96 out of a possible 100 points with 6 first place votes and 4 second place votes. Trinity College was our closest rival with 88 votes. They received the other 4 first place votes. The Colonels were exceptional in that they never allowed more than one touchdown in any game. They held their opponents to 39 points while scoring 140 points on their way to their second straight MAC championship. Last year the Colonels were number 10 in the balloting for the Division II Lambert Trophy. At that time the Lambert Bowl did not exist as an award for small college teams. These are the top ten teams in the Lambert Bowl balloting: Wilkes .............. . 8-0 % Trinity .. .. .......... .............. 6-2 88 Swarthmore .................... 6-0-1 73 Alfred ................... ... ... 6-1-1 72 Bates ......................... .... 6-2 Cartland .. .. ............... 6-2 Cent.
