COX, FARRAR DEBATE VIETNAM WAR TACTICS The senior class will sponsor a dance in the gym on Friday, March 18, from 9 to 12 p.m., featuring Mel Last week 's assembly was a debate Wynn and the Rhythm Aces. Adinission will be 75 cents. between Dr. Harold Cox and Mr. Welton Farrar, with Mr. Joseph Kanner as moderator. Dr. Cox upheld the affirmative side of the question of HAPPY whether all-out bombing should be used against North Vietnam, and Mr. ST. PATRICK'S Farrar argued from the negative point of view. Mr. Kanner first announced the rules DAY to be followed in this debate - that there was to be a ten minute state- ment of positions by each debater by five-minute rebuttals. Dr. Cox felt that the utilization of enclaves, which had been proposed by General Gavin, was useless since the establishment of fortified positions would do little to help the United States in the offensive side of the war. He also stated that the United States should use more air strikes in destroying North Vietnamese supply lines. Mr. Farrar's stand was that it was morally wrong for the United States to interfere in a Civil War. He stated that the domino theory was largely fallacious, and he felt that the South Vietnamese had the right to decide on what government would control the country. Students were given questionaires containing eight questions to be answered either yes, no, or indifferent. The results of this survey will be published in next week's Beacon. Jobs Abroad The International Student Information Service (ISIS) and its North American affiliate, International Student Travel Center, New York City, are non-profit organizations devoted to securing overseas jobs for young people interested in expanding their horizons by working and living abroad for a summer or longer. There are nine basic work categories ranging from camp counseling and construction to child care, office and resort/ hotel work. The organizations provide, in addition to guaran teed jobs, a multitude of services abroad. May 1 is the deadline for June work applications.

WORLD WITHOUT HOPE That serve but to divide the world; Alumnus Condemns Campus Violence It is no longer a source of hope for the youth. Dear Editor : The pulpit is but a launching center Of unwarranted tirades of wrath The palace is a worse slave of hatred and wrath; The leaders run in an endless circle of Indecision and uncertainty. Why - we wonder - why can they not Give hope to the youth through universal love? I was shocked to read in the February 25 issue of the Beacon, the letter from the young man who met violence and harassment while on a visit to Wilkes. Assuming the facts as given to be true , it is repugnant to any Wilkes student or to any person in a free society that this man should be tormented because of his beliefs. Aside from the actual physical abuse, which for any reason has no place at the College, the motivation for this behavior is frightening. I remember my first years at Wilkes back in 1955 when we had individuals who held the complete gamut of political thought living in any dormitory , and how, though there may The world is a mass of clouded uncertainty; Its fate is determined by hatred and selfishness; And in the name of principles and policies The world stands enveloped in sheer hopelessness. Can't people say, 'Yes I'm my brother's keeper'? Can't they in good nature and boldness Extend a brotherly hand, talk their differences by Stanley Jones And give the youth hope in peace? Perhaps we ourselves have sinned - sinned by silence; Indifferently we have watched the widening gyre. Now we sit down, close our eyes and our ears, And without hope we feed on nightmare. This idea taken from Abraham Lincoln's 'To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men'. Cyprian J.

Editorial and business offices located at Conyngham Hall, South River Street, Wilkes - Barre, Pennsylvania, on the Wi lkes College campus. SUBSCRIPTION : $3 .00 PER YEAR All opinions expressed by columnists and special writers, including letters to the editor are not necessarily those of this publication , but those of the individual,. Despite the rather vehement attacks by President Nasser upon Israel. this small country of two million people is absolutely necessary at least, for the present, to further Nasser's dream. This dream can best be described by the term " PanArabism." At its best, Pan-Arabism is a dream of a strong Arab world, united in a political. social, and economic sense, to bring about a better way of life for the Arab people and to establish the Middle East as another world power center between East and West. At its worst, it is a dream of another great Egyptian civilization , led, of course, by that paragon of virtue , honesty, and humanitarianism, Colonel Abdul Nasser. Catalyst Perhaps the word is not virtue , but rather, vituperation, for Nasser's favorite pastime seems to be that of berating the efforts and condemning the actions of a people who, we all have to admit, are justly trying to find their place in the world . Whether he has just cause for his actions is really not what is concerned here. What is immediately important is that in Israel. and in his fantasies about Israel, Colonel Nasser has, or believes he has, discovered the catalyst for uniting the Arab world ( a compound which may prove unstable and explode in his face). With the decline of Western colonialism in the last few years, Colonel Nasser has lost his major target for denunciation. No longer can Western colonialism readily be used to arouse the fears of Nasser's neighbors in order to encourage them to follow this miniature George Washington of the Nile. David vs. Goliath But luckily, there before his eyes was that monstrous , expansionistic , militaristic giant of a nation - Israel. all 8,000 square miles of it with 2 million people. Now the reason for Nasser's fear can readily be seen, for the Arab world has approximately 80 million people on a land area of approximately 2,443,000 square miles. So he rants, raves , shouts, exclaims, warns, and berates, and soon he has a core of fear about which he can fulfill his dream of Pan-Arabism . Without the state of Israel Nass er would never be able to achieve his aims. Israel offers Nasser an excuse to assume the leadership of the Arab world; it offers a way in which his countrymen can "Jet off steam ," so to speak, and perhaps not notice the filthy hovels they are living in ; it offers an excuse to forget about social and economic progress and instead to pour money into the formation of a strong military establishment. ( Perhaps this latter is necessary to protect Nasser, not from Israel, but from his own people.) But most important of all , Israel offers an excuse for Nasser. Thus we can see just why Nasser needs Israel, for it is only through the hatred and fea r of this tiny nation , engendered mainly by himself, that Nasser is able to secure the basis for Arab unity and find purpose to his own rule. Unfortunately, his own people must suffer in order to satisfy the whims and caprices of this dictator. Propaganda Perhaps this presentation is a little one-sided, but before judging this reporter's point of view, one should look at some of the ideas of Nasser and his cohorts and the ways in which they express them. "I am not fighting against Israel alone, but also against international Jewry and Jewish capital. " We are today engaged in a military dispute with the enemies. The enemies are Israel and Zionism; they are the first enemies which need to be liquidated. "Those people responsible in the Arab countries must know that if they do not fight Israel. Israel will fight them . If they do not put an end to Israel. Israel will put an end to them. We cannot help being in a state of war with Israel; thus we are obliged to mobilize all the Arab potential for Israel's final liquidation." Perhaps the final solution to Nasser 's Israeli problem would be to grow a little black moustache, Heil , Nasser! have been violent disagreements, they were always kept on an intelligent, verbal level. I shudder to think that these are the type of people the College is now producing to send into a free and open society. As a career military officer I cannot defend this man's views on pacifism, but I am sworn to protect his rights, and shall protect them , to hold these views and those that oppose him . But to squelch his voice by violence and book burning smacks of the same type of tyranny we have fought and are fighting to prevent. And to take place at Wilkes, an institution of enlightment, is indeed a foreboding of what our country's future holds in store. Sincerely, Lt. Clifford Kobland USAF Chere Revisited Dear Editor : I was surprised to read of Mr. Chere's " newest Jewish solution" to the Middle East problem. The fact that I spent nine weeks working on a kibbutz in Israel , living with the people and traveling through the land , has given me a different perspective towards Israel than the pragmatic mind of Mr. Chere. The problem of the Middle East can't be based on one fac tor , because too many hidden concepts are involved. For Mr. Chere to place the whole blame of the Middle East on the fact " that solution lies in abandonment by Israel .. . of the emphasis upon the Jewish religion w hich has permeated her policies since her inception as a state," is not rig_ht. Open Door I think Mr. Chere is rolling the concepts of religion and culture into one big ball. I admit that the cultural " spirit of the land" has been infused into almost every policy Israel has made in connection with their Arab neighbors. It does this for the simple fact that it wishes to perpetuate itself as a sovereign nation outside the sphere of Arab rule. It would be foolhardy for them not to place such an emphasis on the "Jewish aspect" of Israel considering that the hope and strength of Israel lie with the persecuted Jews of the rest of the world who come to Israel. Contrary to Mr. Chere's belief, Israel now welcomes anybody into her land. She needs people. A country of 2.5 million people in a sea of 60 million Arabs takes refugees from every part of the world. Finally, Mr. Chere made the statement " that after almost 2000 years any people could still have a justifiable claim to an area is to stretch the imagination beyond all limits." A fact that often surprises people is that despite the conquest of Palestine by nation after nation, there were always Jews living in Palestine. In addition to this , a valid document also gives some claim to Israel as the land of the Jews. I think it is called the Bible.

Irish Avenge Wrongs On St. Patrick's Day by Helen Dugan With the many festive dates throughout the year, the specific meanings of these special holidays sometimes become forgotten or at least distorted. They merely become excuses for wild parties, late hours, and other unspeakable behavior - oh, the distorted idea of it all! A poignant example of this perversion is St. Patrick's Day. From 461 to 1916, Ireland set this day aside for the reverent remembrance of its patron saint - St. Patrick. Until 1916, the Irish were being helped by the kind, maternal hand of Britannia. It was a wonderful family relationship. Great Britain even supplied a 163 foot statue of her most honorable naval officer - Admiral Horatio Nelson to be placed in Ireland's fair city of Dublin . observation, and therefore he would land in the trunk of the Englishman directly in front of him who is straddling the green pole with the "Top of the Morning" sign on it; or else the Englishman will boldly scan the disaster line, causing hypnotic transfixion , pea-green eyes, and nausea. A third reaction to the Irish green is uncontrollable rage. The Englishman of this character is usually the one who is married to a sweet little Irish lass who woke him up this morning with the blast from her cute green pinafore and "When Irish Eyes are Smiling," and who "just for kicks" put green food dye in his toothpaste. This poor husband was on the verge of insanity when he left the house, and the green line was the last straw - especially since some joker painted it right up his paved driveway and over his new violet GTO. But this homey tranquility was rudely torn from the eager lives of the Irish by some deranged sadist who started the Easter uprising of I 916 which ended in independence from the British mother for Southern Ireland. His drive through town with the rest of Ireland· s forgotten friends proves to be hopeless lunacy. Turning from the green lines, the crashed cars, and officer Callahan, our homicidal Limey now looks for serenity in the suburban district. For the first time Away from its protector, Southern since his early morning sing-along, he Ireland was subjected to horrifying can loosen his tie and relax. He autoanti-British propaganda. Because they did not have their mother to guide them, the Irish soon began to believe the awful rumors that England's dominance had not been for the good of all of Ireland. And alas, the Irish were rebuffed and became bitter to the poor, tender country of England; Since the establishment of this freedom, St. Patrick's Day has no longer been a day for holy remembrance but one for Irish revenge. For weeks, even months, before that glorious seventeenth day of March, the Irish band together in little IRA groups to think of devious ways of provoking the English. One of their most successful methods was the use of bright green paint. It is a known fact that the English have sensitive eyes; therefore, by painting a bright green stripe up the middle of the road they are successful in causing at least one accident for every two English drivers. Their theory is easy: the Englishman will either avoid looking at the line, which would also entail avoidance of road matically reaches for the radio switch. The news is just coming on. As he settles back in the seat, he numbly smiles through the marine landing at Vietnam, the falling stock market report, and the Tokyo plane crash, but he bolts upright as he hears: "Today in Dublin the IRA bombed Admiral Nelson. And now back to our program. 'Well, you take the high road and I'll take the low road and . . . The rest of the song is muffled by the sound of English tears falling on the metal tabs of the little jacket they are putting him in. It is a little green jacket. As they carry him from the line that he is trying to tear off the road , he looks up into the face of a friendly old doctor with tight curly hair and freckles who is softly saying to him, "Now what would ye be trry'en to do. laddie?" ---Who said the English won!

Alamnas Becognizecl The "Art Notes" of the New York Times recently commented on the achievement of a Wilkes alumnus, Steve Poleskie. Mr. Poleskie, a former art major, and self-taught silk screen printer, started the Chiron Press in New York City two years ago. His "Chiron " did the benefit posters for the Paris Review and shared with the production of prints for Phillip Morris' Pop-Op portfolios. Mr. Poleskie is presently working on a portfolio of contemporary art. Amnicola News Grace Jones , editor of the Amnicola, has announced that there will be no more orders taken for yearbooks. She continued to say that orders for yearbooks that have not been paid will be canceled. The cost of the book for personnel and faculty will be $6.50; seniors, $1.50; and underclassmen, $1.00. College Buys Church Land The College recently purchased the property of the First Church of Christ's Scientist, located between Gies and Pickering Halls on Franklin Street. The area in front of the church building will be used to accommodate the College's new library; however, the church will remain intact. The $160,000 purchase is expected to save the College money in its long range plan. Once Gies Hall is demolished, the three story library can be spread from the faculty parking lot to Pickering Hall across the front of the church . Without this additional ground, a building of smaller area but of greater height would have to be constructed at the site of Gies Hall. Elevators would be necessary . Furthermore, the church building, which is being used by the congregation until a relocation can be made, will be used as a lecture hall with a capacity of approximately 200 students.

Under the superv1s10n of Irene Scheihing, a senior history major who has made the greenhouse her hobby, the plant has blossomed its salmon-colored Hower for the first time in five years. The College greenhouse, unknown to many students, is located on the top Hoar of Stark Hall. The College is one of the few local schools possessing a greenhouse, particularly one with automatic controls to regulate atmosphere conditions such as temperature and moisture. an increasing number of students are employing their talents in this field. The botany class is presently using the facilities for cultivating tomato and coleus plants. In the genetic field, one class is working with radiated oat seeds to determine the genetic changes in the plant. One project in particular is that of orchids. It is rare to find a locally grown collection of orchids because the plant requires tropical conditions. Here at the College, Dr. Charles Reif has built a special " house" for his collection, having all the requirements to simulate the natural habitat of the orchid, and expresses his hope of displaying an orchid bloom.

Individual members will contribute as much of their own equipment as possible; the remainder will be sought on loan from local high schools. If the members exhibit enough interest in continuing the team, each will later contribute toward the purchase of equipment. Although for the most part the men will practice on their own, they hope to be able to assemble at one place at least twice a week for a team practice. Howie Weinberg, who is organizing the team, states that the team is seeking permission to use the Wyoming Seminary field again this year. Depending again upon the amount of interest shown, a meet will be scheduled with Keystone Junior College. The team will also meet with any interested high school teams. Any men still interested in joining the team may contact Howie Weinberg c/ o the Beacon office or at 823-6403.

In gathering M.A.C. honors the Colonels also came up with the number one spot in N .C.A.A. small college rankings. A total of 160 wrestlers from 20 member colleges and universities took part in the two-day event. The Colonels, paced by three individual champions, John Carr, Dick Cook. and Alain Arnould, posted 74 points to lead a field of teams which included: Lycoming with 69 points; defending champion, Temple, with 63, West Chester with 52 points and Elizabethtown with 29.

Sokash Cue and Curtain's second Evening of Theater presented, as it did in the first, plays of advanced mediocrity, while student acting was, at least in the "Apollo of Bellac," of the highest quality. "The Lottery " is an interesting illustration of the pagan belief in the necessity for human sacrifice in order to propitiate the agricultural gods, whose seeming death man has caused because he has been able to produce a harvest. Man still fears his environment; he still does not yet have the confidence to really believe that he is the center of the universe. But the play is also the dramatization of nonresistance to the dictates of society and tradition. The villagers have long since forgotten the origin of their barbaric game of Russian roulette. Even Old Man Warner cannot remember why ; he only comments that it has always been that way. The villagers have become such sheep that they kill fellow townsmen because of a blind will to stand by tradition. But these themes of environmental propitiation and blind adherence to tradition are really not forcefully presented. Simply because the play is KAELAGEE STRIKES AGAIN-p.3 THESPIANS EMOTE "Apollo of Bellac" cast members Hazel Hulsizer, Gene Suszko, Nancy Leland, and Chuck Petrillo present a handsome appearance. set in a twentieth-century atmosphere, the impact of the horrible fusion of pagan sacrifice and the belief in its necessity is lost. Instead the play the degenerates into a comment on man's insecurity, on man's need for a victim to take unto himself all the punishment resulting from man's -sins in man's world. And here we have a poor variation on the crucifixion theme. ( See how this play makes us stretch the point.) Finally, the play is bothersome since it really does not seem that worthy of such profound ex• tended meanings because it is, itself, absurdly anachronistic. For the most part, the acting was depressingly ordinary; however, there were a few fortunate exceptions. Carroll Cobbs as Old Man Warner did well in projecting the collective apathy of the citizens. Harley Miller, as Belva Summers, portrayed excellently the suppressed reformer of this horrible tradition. Dan Wertz's even, expressionless voice aided in the production of a feeling of impending horror. As the distraught, unwilling sacrifice, Sheryl Ratick was quite good, but ever so slightly did she slip a few times into an ordinary portrayal. The play's set was admirable in that it had in its background a dead oak tree which was not only superb symbolism but also a superb abstraction of the idea of death , the death of the victim. The trivial plot of "The Apollo of Bellac," its paucity of bright humor, were countered by the generally excellent acting of the ca-st. Beacon Vol. XXV, No. 17 In Assembly The College CCUN chapter will represent Nepal at the United Nations Model General Assembly in New York, March I 0-13. Bob Zebrowski , president of the CCUN chapter, will lead a six-member delegation at the National Assembly to be held next week at the Statler Hilton Hotel. Colleges and universities from all over the United States will represent 120 countries of the world in this annual gathering. Freshmen elections were held recently to fill the vacant presidential and secretarial positions. Elected were Michaeal Clark as president and Chris Sulat as secretary. Nepal, the country represented by the College's delegation, is situated between Tibet in the north and India in the south. Nine tenths of the country is mountainous, and its peaks, such as Mount Everest, the world's highest summit, have lured mountaineers from all over the world. Since the land is very hilly, the Nepalese farmers chop terraces in the mountainside to grow wheat, rice or vegetables. Approximately 90 per cent of the nation's ten million people live by farming and forestry. Walled off by the nature of its topography, the remote land had little contact with the rest of the world until World War II. Since then, diplomatic relations, foreign aid, and United Nations membership have been accrued by Nepal. "Being a crossroad between China and India, Nepal's geo-political importance cannot be underestimated," said Dr. Kaslas. The College's student delegation will have some maneuvering to do to reconcile Nepal's national security with India's often inexplicable neutrality. Clark, a biology major from Kingston, is a member of the Biological Society and a Colonel grappler. After graduation he plans to continue his studies in either medicine or dentistry. Miss Sulat, a dorm student of Sturdevant Hall, is from Jenkintown, Pennsylvania. She is a member of the Beac'.>n staff, the girls' hockey team, and manager of the girls' basketball team. After graduation Miss Sulat plans on furthering her studies in journalism. Chairman for the affair from the junior class are Charlotte Peterson and Darlene Moll ; the senior class is represented by Charles Petrillo and Dave Greenwald. Committee heads are Joan Kirschenbaum and Judy Valunas, . favors; Wayne Yetter, band; and Sue Harkness and Jane Jancik, publicity. Chaperones for the affair will be the class advisors. Advisor of the junior class is Gordon Roberts. The senior class has two advisors, both of whom will be present: Dr. Eugene Hammer and Dr. Harold Cox . Dr. Cox, who will present an after-dinner speech, is permanent advisor to the senior class. Templer Plans Forum Speech On C. Rosselli p.4 Elect Clark, Sulal The new banquet room of the Carousel Motel. located on Kidder Street in Wilkes-Barre, will be the setting for this year's Junior-Senior Dinner Dance, which will be held on Saturday, March 12 from 8 to 12 p.m . Music for the semi-formal affair will be furnished by Gino Marchetti, and the guests will be served a buffet dinner in a cabaret setting. To Participate MAC's Friday, March 4, 1966 Carousel To Bost Frosh Jr-Sr Dinner-Dance Campus Group Hazel Hulsizer's portrayal of Agnes was both bright and wide-eyed; she projected extremely well the blushing innocent who quickly catches on to the game that brings about advancement. Your eyes, Chuck Petrillo, how handsome they were! Expressive, too. In its excellence his performance was only rivaled by that of Miss Hulsizer. A very perfect, seemingly immovable, crochety, bitter old man, Jan Kubicki. Et tu, Sheryl Napoleon, only be aware of the change in gender. Nancy Leland walked out rather well as the businesslike, mechanical wife of the twentieth century. Robert Smith and Gene Suszko were effective in their different portrayals of suaveness; however, the former seemed at times to fall slightly below the consistently high standards of his fellow actors. James Gallagher and Earl Orcutt walked well together and spoke their lines equally well. And thank you, David Frey, for tying up so well this handsome play. Congratulations to those connected with set design and set conclusion. The pink and white office setting effectively symbolized the play' s discussion of the effects of a saccharine, of a false, flattery.

Both performances drew full houses, and in spite of Friday's snowstorm there were only 36 empty seats. Approximately 200 people at a Mental Health and Retardation meeting held in the chorus room attended a rehearsal on Tuesday night, and 25 high school students and their teachers, from Elk Lake , near Montrose , drove down to see a dress rehearsal on Thursday evening. A number of local high school teachers and their parents and teachers of the 17 grade-school c h i I cl r e n who played in The Lottery were our guests at rehearsals and performances. We had calls from Scranton for reserved seats. It is encouraging to the performers and backstage workers that audiences have filled the theatre not only for plays but for concerts and recitals as well. And attendance is not obligatory. Why , I was asked, did you do The Lottery? What does the play mean? Ask what hazing means when well-mannered, normally well-behaved students carry a tradition to extremes and , in the face of reason , create tragedy. Ask what governing means when the innocent permit passionate men to rule by means of threat and terror. Perhaps we did the play because I remember the faces on television of citizens in small towns - housewives, children, workers, and elected officials when in the face of accepted tradition a child was admitted to a public classroom. Perhaps we staged the short story because for 27 minutes actors on the stage remind us of the brutality we fear to see take place in the streets. For 27 minutes we may be repelled , fascinated, puzzled, stunned , but like the miraculous chandelier in The Apollo of Bellac that lights up by its own power, an evil radiance can flame up just as mysteriously in the next room. Other than that, more than 58 students on stage and 40 backstage helped create a vivid and memorable experience for someone who never ceases to be amazed by the accomplishment of a little diligence, faith, and imagination. Gratefully, Alfred S. Groh There was once a pompous, somewhat stagnant little community called lmageville. . The citizens of lmageville were very proud, and especially conscious of one particular quality - their freedom. These citizens preached Democracy. One day, a stranger entered the village, carrying plans for a butter factory. He established residence at the Hotel Major, whose other residents all worked in a gun factory. The stranger attempted to explain the benefits of erecting a butter factory in the town. But his housemates would not tolerate a butter factory in their little community. Thus, they burned the plans for the stranger's factory and ejected him from the Hotel Major. lmageville still stands. Its citizens still preach democracy. The residents of the Hotel Major work happily in the gun factory, still ignorant of the stranger's ideas. Ah, Democracy! Ah, lmageville!

The basic question which must be answered before making a decision as to whether Israel, as a religiously oriented state, has a reason to exist as such in today's world, is whether any such state, created out of religious considerations , can be justified. Religious Grounds To this question I say that no state of consequence which, excluding the Vatican and S.M.O.M ., can justify its existence on purely religious grounds. This opinion is based on the fact that of the five major trouble spots in the world today, Vietnam, the Dominican Republic , Rhodesia , Pakistan-India , and the explosive dispute between Israel and her Arab neighbors, two are of political origin , one is of n o n-political. n o n-religious, ideological nature, and the last two are the result of attempts to form states on religious grounds. In both cases the initial creation of the religiousoriented state caused wholesale deaths, dislocations, and even war. In both cases, the continued insistence of all parties concerned on issues created a state of continued tension and at least two recent approaches to the brink of all-out war. Only the intervention of the great powers in concert with the UN prevented it from spreading. Thus, three times in the less than 20 years since the attainment of their independence, these states have gotten into situations from which only outside intervention was able to extract them. But hindsight only enables us to prevent the repetition of the mistakes of the East; it does not provide the solution to the problems of today.

Such a solution would create more problems than we already have. It is my belief that the solution lies in the abandonment by Israel, in the hopes that her neighbors will follow her lead; of the emphasis upon the Jewish religion which has permeated her politics since her inception as a state. Those policies have been based on two ideas which were behind the agitation for the original creation of a Jewish state. Unjustifiable Claim The first idea was that of recreating the traditional state of the Jewish nation at its original location at the crossroads between Asia and Africa. Even before its final destruction in 70 A .O. the state of Israel had never been completely safe, for by its very location it was bound to be the object of continual struggle. But the Diaspora of the Jewish People occurred 1,890 years ago.

Whatever other people say about me I'm not. I am what I want myself to be. What I'm out for is a good time and all the rest is propaganda." These words. spoken against the opening shots of Karel Reisz's Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, appropriately prepare us for what follows in this highly acclaimed "angry young man" film from Britain. What the film lacks in the way of an interesting story, it makes up for in its arresting portrait of Arthur Seaton. a non-conformist factory worker in northern England who is not only anti-establishment but contemptuous of his proletariat coworkers. Perhaps it is just the fine acting and personality of Albert Finney in his first film role as Seaton that makes th is character a successful portrait. Arthur is a living, breathing character, larger than life, who manages to appeal to our sympathy and evoke our understanding. The "angry man" movement began unexpectedly with Jimmie Porter in John Osborne's Look Back in Anger. This led to Joe Lampton in Room at the Top, Colin Young in The Loneline·s s of the Long Distance Runner, Machin in This Sporting Life, and others. including Arthur Seaton. Just what these young men were rebelling against was unclear. Since then we have come to know it as the "establishment... They were outsiders who wanted in. Lampton and Machin made it; Porter, Arthur, and Colin did not. efforts are misdirected. "I want more in life than my mom and dad got," he tells us, but then he doesn 't do anything to get it. He sweats over a machine all week long and then blows his wages on a drunken binge every Saturday night. He wastes his time fishing and pulling foolish pranks and is contemptuous of all authority as represented by his bosses and the police. "Don't let the bastards grind you down," he sneers angrily. But he does nothing to remedy his situation. Instead, he aggravates it by asking for trouble by having an affair with his boss's wife and antagonizing his nosy neighbor. He refuses to be tied down to anything for long, including marriage. "I won't get married till I'm good and ready, " and he is contemptuous of those who do get married. "They all get caught in the end, though , don 't they. They all get caught by the bait. " Consequently, he wavers between two women, refusing to become committed to either one. Appealing Maverick had seen whole sections of the film before. Perhaps this is why the "angry young man" and "kitchen films" died out. As stated before, the success of the film lies in the portrait of Arthur as an angry young man. It has been suggested that the ending, in which Arthur himself finally succumbs to marriage ( we are led to believe that the beating he received knocked some sense into his head) , is a compromise because film-makers did not have the courage to follow through and in effect, sold out their artistic integrity to convention. This reporter disagrees , for this film is not so much an account of an angry young man as an account of the maturation of an angry young man. It is inevitable that Arthur should eventually conform. He cannot go on living a lifetime of Saturday nights; he must eventually awaken to his ultimate Sunday morning. Moreover, we know that Arthur has not had his last fling ; from now on, they will just be fewer and with more time in between. H e gives in, but not all the way. "I still got some fight left in me." If his anger is lessened and his goals still far-off, he will never be what he fears most - "dead from the neck up. All this is told very effectively in the film . If Arthur is something of a maverick, he is an appealing one. The film is frequently quite funny and never lags. This is due largely to some fine casting of minor roles by Fine, Though Flawed Reisz, in addition to his realistic, incisive film-making, which although his Manuscript has brought us a fine , technique becomes a little too arty at though flawed film, for it contains a times, is not consistent with the sub- lesson pertinent to all - don't be an ject matter.

This year over 160 wrestlers, representing 20 Middle Atlantic Conference colleges a n d universities, will be out to dethrone last year·s conference ch amp ion, Temple University. West Chester, Temple, Wilkes, Lycoming and Hofstra are all expected to wage a close battle for this year's crown. Competition this year is expected to be very interesting with many individual outstanding wrestlers, representing weaker teams, in a position to act as "spoilers" to any of the big five. In previous tournaments the Colonels have captured five out of nine team titles. The charges of John Reese are in a good position to capture their sixth crown. The Wilkes Colonels with a 10-1 seasonal log will enter three unbeaten grapplers in the tournament. John Carr, captain of the Colonel matmen and last year's 167-pound champion in the M.A.C. Tourney, will be back to defend his crown. Carr, who recently gained honorable mention on the All-American college wrestling squad, has a 9-0 log this year, including six decisions and three pins. Freshman Joe Wiendl will be out aft er the 152-pound title. The former New Jersey High School wrestling champ has a 9-0 record. Alain Arnould, at the heavyweight position , goes into today 's action with a 7-0-1 record. Earlier this year Arnould drew with a heavily rated opponent from Mansfield to put the only blemish on his undefeated record. Other probable Colonel starters are Ed Witczak-123, Jim McCormick-120, Jim Coffman or Joe Kiefer-137 , Vic Altonen-145, Dick Cook- 160, and Fran Olexy-177. In addition to Carr, Gary Guasp, Lycoming-I 23 , Bob Milone, Temple130, Al Lilley, Temple-147, Ron Bavaro, Gettysburg- I 57, and Dick Horst, Albright-I 77 are all back to retain the crowns they captured last year. by George Pawlush Although the Wilkes mermen encountered one of their most dismal campaigns this season one of their members sparkled in competition.

My primary reason was to see a friend who is a student there. However, since I am a pacifist and active in the antiwar movement, I brought with me some material on the problems of peace and the war in Vietnam to give any interested persons. When I accepted an invitation from a student to stay in one of the dormitories ( Miner Hall), I was not aware of the existence of a small group of extremists in the dormitory who confront those who have dissenting views with violence and harassment. I had brought with me a quantity of peace literature and pins, a number of copies of the Free Student newspaper, and two books to be read in my spare time; these were stolen from my room and , as I later found out, destroyed in a book-burning session. Later that night members of this group routed me from my sleep with a bucket of cold water. As if this were not enough, the following morning when I inquired about my books and materials, I was threatened with bodily harm, so I left. While I think a majority of the students in the dormitory were not unsym- {t/itc,-i11/ ROSES AND LOLLIPOPS We are grieved to find that The Elect have misinterpreted both last week's editorial (The Elect Select) and the policies of THE BEACON editorial board in this week's Letters to the Editor column. To question the purpose of a student newspaper is a very serious accusation. We are interested in the improvement of the College. When we feel that an area of this campus may be improved - as in the method of choosing the Best Dressed Coed - we believe it is our duty to express our ideas on the subject. To sully our purpose with the attitude that we are attacking the man and not the institution is to be extremely shortsighted, pathetically deaf to any constructive criticism. T O attack a campus organization because of a personal grudge is also a very serious matter. But it is difficult to harbor a personal grudge against someone when one has only a superficial acquaintance with that person. Such is the case with the BEACON editorial board and said A WS members. pathetic to my plight, the students seemed afraid to come to my aid. Some may argue that I had no business staying m the dormitory. If so, I was not informed that I was breaking college regulations. Some may argue that I came to convert students to some alien philosophy. Even if my main reason for being there was to discuss ideology, the campus is the place to voice opinion. Also, I do not think that the principles of pacifism ( brotherhood, love, truth, non-violence, etc.) are alien to our religious and democratic heritage. As the catalogue of Wilkes College says "An educated man ... is aware of the diversity of ideas and beliefs that exist among men" and " respects the religious convictions of all men ." If you really believe this, your campus ought to be a place where students from other campuses can come and voice their convictions without fear of physical and psychological harassment.

The first aim of American policy in South Vietnam should be to give the population the opportunity to choose their own destiny without interference from outside pressures. This outside pressure takes the form of the Communist National Liberation Front, which is controlled, supplied, and run from Hanoi. The Viet Cong use two principal meth~ ads to gain support: the first is to represent themselves as a true nationalistic;; anti-colonial, and anti-capitalist movement with popular support; the second is using terror to force the local populace to support them. In addition to the Viet Cong's fanatical leaders supplied by the North, 14 regular regiments of the North Vietnamese army are operating in the South. Having long since run out of the needed volunteers for replacements, the Viet Cong have resorted to kidnap- AWS Defends Grudge Attack It seems, in the final analysis, that said offended A WS members are guilty of the charge which they have hurled so thought- Votes Sought lessly at the BEACON editorial board.

Coed Contest) would like to make a few brief statements. Before criticizing the method by which the candidates were selected, one should look into the existing policies of Associated Women Students as approved by the sponsor, Dean Ahlborn. It is unfortunate that the Beacon staff had to resort to personal grudges in order to fill up its editorial space, for it was obviously not the policies of the club which was being attacked, but the individual members which constitute it. Fliers were printed and distributed in the cafeteria prior to the meeting, inviting all members and prospective members to come. It is not the fault of those who attended others did not respond. We were very disappointed that our college newspaper had to be so immature in its choice of editorials. As far as Associated Women Students is concerned , this matter is closed. Carol Foresta .

In South Vietnam the majority is against the N.L.F. and its means of using brute force to gain its ends. This is evidenced by the fact that the peasants hide from the Viet Cong and report them to government troops instead of helping them as before. Other Aim The other aim of American policy should be to show the Communists that their attempts to overcome free n a t i o n s through so-called "wars of liberation" will fail. Appeasement would increase this appetite for conquest. The possibility of a global war would become s:ireater if the U.S. left the area. because it would convince the Communists that they had been successful, and would therefore start similar wars throughout the underdeveloped nations of the world. Russians would also decide that the Chinese way of military aggression was succeeding and would try it themselves instead of peaceful coexistence. Underdeveloped nations would give into communism, thinking that the Americans would not stand by them in a guerilla war. Equality Even though our reasons for being in Vietnam are just, the means for fulfillment of our objectives should be also. It has been shown that the North Vietnamese wil not accept any type of settlement which is reasonable ( the offer to rebuild North Vietnam and accept Communists as part of the Southern government for example) . The North insists tQat the Viet Cong should be . the only government and that 'all U.S. troops be withdrawn before any negotiations can be undertaken. What would be left to negotiate? The only possible alternative left for the U.S. for the fulfillments of its obligations and objectives has been the use of military force . We therefore can see that in order to assure self-government and some modicum of freedom it is necessary for the U.S. to continue its military intervention in the area, From the evidence presented, we can say to those critics of our supposedly unjustifiable and imperialist policy, that at least we admit our support and are willing to settle the matter at the conference table. Are the rightous freedom fighters of the N.L.F. and their Northern allies so open or so willing? Lack 01 Cigarettes Protested By Students Dear Editor: We have all heard of the man who walked a mile for a Camel. Apparently this is the situation at the College. Placed about the campus are a number of facilities which are entirely for the convenience of the student and faculty member. At one end of the campus is a cafeteria; at the other, a snack bar. There is a candy machine in the Bookstore, which magnanimously serves as a com- bination post office and general store. There are Coke machines in many dormitories, and the halls of the class building are supplied with excellent water fountains and a liberal number of ash trays, Yet one must walk into town or to the nearest parking lot for a pack of cigarettes. Among the conveniences the College has so generously given us, there is not one cigarette machine.

Her exhibit consists of painting in acrylic medium and prints by lithocut and wooden block. A painting by Mr. Chester Colson has been chosen by the Society of Painting in Casein. "The Quiet Place", a composition of polymer tempera, is being exhibited at the National Arts Club, Gramercy Park South, New York City, today and Saturday. The twelfth annual art show was typically selective, as 3000 entries from many parts of the nation were submitted, and only 132 were accepted. The Society of Painting in Casein was originally formed for painting in casein, as the name indicates, but it was recently expanded to include polymer tempera. A collection of jewelry designed and created by students of the fine arts department, under the instruction of Mr. Anthony Evangelista, is being exhibited in the College library , For many students it was a first attempt in this artistic form. They exploited new techniques utilizing horn, bone, ebony, ivory, and shell to contrast silver, complemented with stones and pearls. Concerning the jewelry Mr. Evangelista said: "It is our firm belief that man can create an aesthetic as well as functional piece of art through any means he selects. Silver is our means. It has been announced that a student art show will be on display in the Fine Arts Center during the performance of the Cue and Curtain plays. Later, the display may be viewed in Conyngham Annex from February 28 to March 6. All paintings are in oil medium . There will also be some collages on display. The annual Art Fair will be held May 18 to 21.

In fact, according to Miss Prokopchak, most Australian immigrants are from Britain. Though the country's immigration is restricted , Asians and Africans are allowed to study in Australian universities. Miss Prokopchak had taken several trips into the Australian Bush and had several times observed the Aborignes. "They are treated the same way as our own Indians, are placed on reservations; and although they are slowly being assimilated and given opportunities, they are generally too backward to take advantage of them."

It is also possible that the absence of cigarettes on campus is due to an over-developed sense of paternalism on the College's part. After all, cigarettes are harmful to one's health; it says so on the pack. Yet this warning on each pack of cigarettes lets the smoker know what he's "in for" and clearly absolves the manufacturer of all responsibility. Should it not therefore absolve the College from any guilty feeling it may have in allowing its innocent voung to corrupt their bodies? It should, hut thi> College has apparently decided that smoking is bad and therefore that no cigarette machines are good. The College gym recently provided the setting for the Lettermen's Cherry Tree Chop. In keeping with the historical theme, music for dancing was provided by "oldies but goodies" records. The highlight of the evening was the traditional battle of wits and weights, otherwise known as faculty and Lettermen, respectively. The Lettermen emerged triumphant in the pie-eating contest, with Joe Chanecka receiving the pleasure of throwing the remainder of the cherry pies in the face of his worthy, honorable opponent, Dr. H . J. Cox, Southern gentleman. The faculty redeemed itself, however, by soundly beating Lettermen Ralph Hendershot and Rich Roshong. Dean Ralston and Coach Rainey saved face by pooling their brains and brawn , respectively. Friday, February 25, 1966 However, the decision to smoke should be left to the individual student. A m o n g other things, young people go to College to grow up and learn to make decisions. Most Colleges subscribe to this principle and encourage the making of decisions. Decisions are not always right; nonetheless, they are at least decisions. We at Wilkes are not burdened with the problem of making decisions, however. The Colleqe has kindly attended to that for us.

At late morning classes you're too hungry. At early afternoon classes you're too logy. At late afternoon classes you're too hungry again. The fact is-and we might as well face it-there is no good time of day to take a class. What shall we do then? Abandon our colleges to the ivy? I say no! I say America did not become the hope of mankind and the world's largest producer of butterfats and tallow by running away from a fight! If you're always too hungry or too sleepy for class, then let's hold classes when you're not too hungry or sleepy: namely, while you're eating or sleeping. Classes while eating are a simple matter. Just have a lecturer lecture while the eaters eat. But watch out for noisy foods. I mean who can hear a lecturer lecture when everybody is crunching celery or matzo or like that? Serve quiet . stuff-like ai:ichovy paste on a doughnut, or steaming bowls of lamb fat. '. Now let us turn to the problem of learning while sleeping. First, can it be done? Yes, it can. Psychologists have proved that the brain is definitely able to assimilate information during sleep. Take, for instance, a recent experiment conducted by a leading Eastern university (Stanford). A small tape recorder was placed under the pillow of the subject, a freshman named Wrobert Wright. When Wrobert was fast asleep, the recorder was turned on. Softly, all through the night, it repeated three statements in Wrobert's slumbering ear: 1. Herbert Spencer lived to the age of 109 and is called "The Founder of English Eclectic Philosophy." 2. The banana plant is not a tree but a large perennial herb. 3. The Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated in 1914 at Sarajevo by a young nationalist named Mjilas Cvetnic, who has been called "The Trigger of World War I." // --z_.

""I. ~ , ;/_1., ~+\ .· · ·.---~ \j;:\ When Wrobert awoke in the morning, the psychologists said to him, "Herbert Spencer lived to the age of 109. What is he called?" Wrobert promptly answered, "Perennial Herb." Next they asked him, "What has Mjilas Cvetnik been called?" Wrobert replied, "Perennial Serb." Finally they said, "Is the banana plant a tree?" "To be honest," said Wrobert, "I don't know too much about bananas. But if you gents want any information about razor blades, I'm your man." "Well," said the psychologists, "can you tell us a blade that shaves closely and cleanly without nicking, pricking, scratching, scraping, scoring, gouging, grinding, flaying or flensing?" "Yes, I can," said Wrobert. "Personna® Stainless Steel Blades. Not only does Personna give you a true luxury shave, but it gives you heaps and gobs and bushels and barrels of true luxury shaves-each one nearly as truly luxurious as the first." "Land's sake!" said the psychologists. "Moreover," said Wrobert, "Personna is available not only in the Double Edge style blade, but also in the Injector style blade." "Great balls of fire!" said the psychologists. "So why don't you rush to your dealer and get some Personnas at once?" said Wrobert. "We will," said the psychologists, twinkling, "but there is something we have to do first." Whereupon they awarded Wrobert an honorary L.L.B.

Stepping into the limelight is 152-pound grappling ace Joe Wiendl. by Bill Bush As of February 12 , after seven conference games, the Colonels' Reuben Daniels placed ninth in individual scoring in the M.A.C. Northern College D ivision basketball statis tics. Daniels tallied 48 field goals and 20 successful free throws for 116 points and an average of 16.7 points per game. Wiendl, having mangled opposing grapplers on several occasions, is undefeated in dual competition this year. Last week he decisioned opponents from East Strousburg and Dickinson to bring his seasonal log to 7 -0. Since the Wilkes Open, where he scored two impressive victories, Wiendl has shown constant improvement coming down the stretch. Daniels also placed second in the free throw percentage category with 20 successful free shots out of 24 for a percentage of .833. Co-captain Joe Chanecka ranked eighth in the same category with 18 out of 23 and a .783 percentage. Last fall Wiendl was a prominent member of the Colonels' championship football squad. All season he sparkled at his defensive halfback position, thwarting enemy offensive plans. Wiendl is a freshman mathematics major from Westfield, New Jersey. While at Westfield High School, he gained state-wide recognition by capturing New Jersey's 148-pound high school wrestl ing championship. Wiendl also excelled on his high school football and baseball squads. The Beacon staff wants to congratulate Joe Wiendl for his outstanding performance.

His topic was entitled "The Nation's Spiritual Pulse." He stated, "It is not false pride to assert that in many ways America is the greatest nation in the history of mankind. Built upon the foundation of freedom of conscience, freedom of speech , free enterprise, and universal education, a nation has been molded under God which has demonstrated the potential glory and grandeur of human collective achievement. Nevertheless, under God we are subject to moral judgment, and it becomes vital for us in an age of crisis to strengthen the moral and ethical foundations of our national and individual lives."

As editors, we state our views about current situations on campus, and apathy, because it is not merely current but recurrent, is a constant subject of these opinions. The terms "lack of interest", "indifference", and others are often used to avoid repetition of the word itself, but the criticism is still the same: We, as a student body, are generally apathetic toward the activities offered us by the College. We are just as weary of writing about it as most students are of reading about it.

It is with definite pleasure then, that we write the remainder of this editorial, for we have found one area of campus activity which is thriving ,....., that of intramural sports. In a recent edition of the BEACON, one headline stated, "Thirty Teams Vie In IM (intramural) Basketball." On each team there must be at least five players; in other words, there are on these teams 150 men on the first strings alone. Add this number to the number of coaches, managers, and second string players, and the total is Realistic Views boosted to well over 200 students involved actively in a College Americans should be realistic activity.

This war must be won soon. No nation is so wealthy and strong We have become aware of and are consequently displeased that it can maintain prosperity with the manner in which the finalists for the best-dressed coed at home when the cream of its youth and the bulk of its taxes contest are chosen. -----------------------THE ELECT SELECT We mean not to throw aspersions on those coeds already chosen as finalists; indeed, we sincerely compliment them. However, our quarrel is with the way in which they are singled out for this honor. We feel that a panel of seven girls arbitrarily deciding who the finalists shall be is not the best way to handle the situation. If this panel were composed entirely of previous finalists, then we would not question its qualifications for elevating other girls to the same select circle. But since they are for the most part of no particular modish distinction, since they are in truth no more qualified than the rest of the student body, we feel that a fairer solution to the problem would be to have each class nominate a number of candidates, from which finalists would be chosen by a general vote of the student body. ---------------------------WHAT Friday, February 18, 196t • WHERE • WHEN BASKETBALL - Moravian - Away- Tomorrow, 8:30 P.M.

Civilian Bombings To win the war. the U.S. should engage in saturation bombing of the North, including the so-called "civilian targets" of Hanoi and its port, Haiphong. This, however, will not win the war alone. We must engage the enemy with the best equipment available; b~tter food and medical supplies must be made available to both U.S. and allied troops; and more recuperation centers should be built for the wounded and the worn-out allied soldiers who are doing their best. Why should we have the right to deny them anything?

These Jette,., tc tAe (t/itc,- Ca·n dide Accused 01 Superlicialily Dear Editor: It is rather interesting, I feel. that Candide has chosen to call A. H. Kook a "twentieth-century Voltaire." It appears that Candide has learned somewhere that Voltaire was supposedly renowned for h i s scathing remarks about conditions which he felt should be scathed. Voltaire was disturbed by what he felt was the prevalence of man's inhumanity to man in a hostile universe. In particular. Voltaire attacked the idea that certain conditions must be tolerated simply because they are part of a preestablished harmony, a term which man had invented solely for the purpose of rationalizing the injustice and inhumanity of the world. Faulty Connection Exercising his little knowledge of Voltaire. Candide feels he sees a connection between the scathing attacks of the former and the scathing attacks of A. H. Kook. In truth , there is a connection between the two, but such a connection is a compliment to A. H. Kook and not a sneer at his position; however, it is a sneer that Candide very obviously intends. Like Voltaire. A. H . Kook has attacked the inconsistencies of his world. He protests against the asininities which bind together certain individuals in certain cliques, namely a smouldering dislike for the challenges which I earning offers them. and a jealous hatred for the person or group which excels in thinking differently - in short a xenophobic reaction toward a n yo n e daring to be intellectual. Now. of course. A. H. Kook has not attacked conditions of the stat- ure as those condemned by Voltaire. but he has protested; he has denounced; and that which he has protested and denounced is worthy of his protests and denunciations. Self-Cultivation A. H. Kook is not content. Hooray! For from discontent comes progress, even though one may find somewhat painful the solution that all one may be able to improve is oneself, that all one may be able to do is to cultivate one's own garden, the moral of Voltaire's Candide. The C o I 1 e g e ' s self-styled Candide reflects a superficial grasp of the names he has chosen to bandy about. He has indeed comp Ii men t e d A. H. Kook . though such was not his purpose. His series of probable situations ( "rejection from his favorite caf table") is an unsuccessful attempt to employ the ridiculous in assaulting a position with which one does not happen to agree. Such an employment of the ridiculous in this situation reflects a tooobvious disdain for those who dare to be different. a too obvious disdain for intellectuality. How dare "Candide" assume such a name when he obviously has no conception of Voltaire, nor of Candide, nor of the moral lesson of this work! This Candide's unbearable use of the 18th century as a motif for his attack on A. H. Kook is intolerable. I too can quote Francois Marie Arouet from my world history text. How dare Candide proclaim himself intellectual when he is so obviously ignorant of concepts in depth. when his only claim to knowledge arises from his grasp of the surface! Name Withheld measures would themselves go a long way in forcing Communists to sue for peace on our terms when we are ready for it. Unconditional surrender of all Communist forces in South Viet Nam should be the only terms upon which we would enter into negotiations with the enemy. The entrance into the conflict by support groups from all SEATO members, France. Great Britain, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Thailand, would give a big lift to the war effort. New Zealand and Australia already have token forces serving with allied units, but not nearly enough. The increased manpower and additional equipment w o u I d help to relieve the pressures upon allied troops a I r e a cl y there, thus enabling the allies to send fresher soldiers into battle. In addition, an alliance of eight nations fighting Communist aggression together in one common purpose would do much to discourage the Communist leaders behind the conflict . Far-reaching War This war goes further than a mere jungle war in a distant land, away from any immediate concern other than casualties. This is a war that will determine the fate of the whole southeastern area of the globe. The free world cannot afford to incur such a defeat. for the productive labors of 185 million people, a population which rivals that of the United States, would revert to th~ Communist war machine. We would lose 65 per cent of the world's supply of natural rubber. We would lose 50 per cent of the world's supply of tin. We would also lose large supplies of copra , petroleum, palm oil, and abaca. Chinese Aggression Red China sees Southeast Asia as the answer to her two most pressing problems: food shortages and the population explosion. The Southeast Asian peninsula is the natural area for Chinese expansion, and the war we are fighting there today is a result of the failure of Red China to provide a decent standard of living for her people. Why then should the defenseless people of Southeast Asia have to suffer for the shortcomings of the egotistical, totalitarian Red Chinese overlords? The position of the U .S. and Great Britain in the Far East is also at stake there , especially the fortress of Singapore and the islands of the Philippines. Thus it is evident that there are many reasons why we fight in that far corner of the world. Ask no quarter and give no quarter; the Communists will qive us none, as they proved in Korea, so why should we be merciful. when we will only get a kick in the face as our reward? We will suffer the same fate as many other civilizations if we fail to face up to the challenges of the Communists. Our fate will be deserved if we cannot recognize our proper responsibility and fulfill it. �WILKES Friday, February 18, 1966 Deluded Student Exposes Batman by BR- 008 Zap-Pow-Blam - and Batman puts an end to the foul trickery of the fiendish Riddler and his evil Molehill Mob - of course!

But, in anticipation of the coming spring with all its clearing processes, and with the assurances of growth and promises of winter's uplifting, the members of the Forum are organizing a working restatement of their objectives. The Forum functions as an academic platform where students may talk to students, where they are able to establish their particular viewpoints of their individual interests, or where they may present their work in ·their area of study. One of the Forum 's principal objectives is to give the student the opportunity to combine his academic and social lives and to create an atmosphere in which he can share in the luxury of learning over coffee.

Schmidt received this honor for leading the Wilkes gridders to a 7-1 mark and the Middle Atlantic Conference's Northern Division championship during the past season . To symbolize this high achievement Schmidt was presented with a wristwatch by the Sunday lndependent's Tom Heffernan Jr. at the paper's fifth annual All-Scholastic Banquet. This was the first such award ever made by th e Independent and it is expected to become an annual event. Each year the recipient of the award will be chosen from the ranks of all high school and college coa5=hes of all sports in Wyoming Valley . The guest speaker at the banquet was Earl Morrall, IO-year veteran of National Football League play and successor to Y. A. Tittle as quarterback with the New York Giants. The Beacon wholeheartedly agrees with the Independent in its choice and adds its congratulations to Coach of the Year Rollie Schmidt. In last week's sports action, the Wilkes grapplers copped their eighteenth straight victory by defeating Lycoming College 20-9. The Colonels' cagers finished the week with 1 win and 2 losses. downing Drew University 95-73, and bowing to Lycoming College, 100-95, and to Upsala College 78-76. On the swimming scene, the mermen added 2 losses to their log by succumbing to Lycoming, 64-30, and to Pennsylvania Military College, 64-31. Coach John Reese's wrestlers, ranked third in the nation in small college circles, won six out of nine bouts in the Lycoming contest. John Carr. at 177-pounds, posted the Colonels' only fall of the contest by pinning Bob Fleming of Lycoming in 8:35 and thus clinching the meet for Wilkes. Ed Witczak, one of the five freshmen in the Wilkes starting lineup, set the Colonels on their way with his hard-earned 9-4 decision over Garry Guasp, last year's 123-pound Middle Atlantic Conference champion. Jim ROLAND SCHMIDT McCormick followed Witczak with a 4-0 decision over Dale Samuels. After Lycoming captured the 137 -pound bout, the Wilkesmen bounced back to take two in a row with Vic Altonen blanking his 145-pound opponent, 11-0. and Joe Wiendl, at 152, decisioning Steve Saerfel. 10-3.

Northern Division leaders, for the second time this season. The Colonels, led by co-captain Joe Chanecka, went into the lockerroom with a seven point lead. The Wilkesmen, plagued by second half blues throughout the season, fell victim to the Warriors in the second half and emerged on the short end of the game. Against Drew University, the Colonels' offensive proved to be too powerful to be contained by the Drew squad as they whipped the visiting team 95-73. Wilkes quickly commanded the lead early in the first half and held a 42-40 edge at the halftime. The usual unlucky second period did not plague the Colonels in this contest as they continued to boost their lead throughout the second half. In the nightcap of last Saturday's basketball-wrestling double header, Coach Ron Rainey 's cagers lost a heartbreaker as they were edged, 78-76, by U t.sala College. The Colonels opened with a IO point margin by Bob Thompson Joe Chanecka, co-captain of the basketball team, has been selected as this issue's "Athlete of the Week". In the last three cage contests Chanecka has led the Wilkesmen in the scoring department with twentytwo, eighteen, and twelve points respectively. Chanecka, at 5 feet 11 inches, was also one of the top rebounders and playmakers. He took charge of the team in making big comebacks in these last three games. This season he is third in scoring with 192 points, second in assists with 32, and third in rebounding. Currently he is seven th in the league in foul shooting with thirty-six for forty-six. Chanecka has played v a rs i t y basketball for four years and has been co-captain for the past two seasons. He merited this honor by displaying leadership, ability, and a desire to play. He has earned four letters for his outstanding cage play.

Last week the Beacon conducted a survey among students and faculty members. When asked: " Do you feel that the draft is necessa ry?"', some onlookers evaded the issue. Those concerned about the issue replied: Dr. Thomas Mizianty - Ideally, in a democracy, military service should be completely voluntary, but practically, it doesn 't work, so we have to resort to selective service. Although many say that selective service is unfair , it is actually fairer than picking names of candidates at random with no regard to their value to the nation. HAPPINESS IS A CONTRACT, PROFS I believe that college students who are serious in thei r studies are of great value to their country and should be deferred and given the right to express their own views on Vietnam without having to worry whether their classiAcation of 2S will be changed to IA. Mr. Murray Force - The draft has justiAed its existence in two world wars. With the modern rearrangement of military forces in peace time, it may be that the draft would be necessary. The standing organization of military services could meet their own manpower needs within their own organizations. In times of national emergency, since the draft has proven itself effective, I would favor it, if necessary - but only in an emergency. the Steve Kish - I for one am aganist the draft on principle. I believe that a perwn who in all sincerity thinks kill, ing another man is wrong should not be forced to fight. This is a direct assault on the free will and free thought of the individual. A country which does not give the individual a choice between killing or not killing :should not be considered a democracy, the form of government which he is supposedly fighting for. Bill Webb - Since people will not volunteer to get themselves killed , I would say that the draft is necessary. Also, unless you can protect what you have, people sooner or later will try to take it from you. Eventually, most men would have to fight anyway. The draft hastens the inevitable personal conflict. Eric Fredd - Yes. The degree to which military conscription sustains itself will always be proportioned to the personal "agreeableness" of the duties and actions involved. To this point in history such duties and actions have rarely been in accord with most men. Simon Russin - During a state of war, the draft is necessary. More men are needed to perform all sorts of tasks not required under peaceful conditions and not likely to be undertaken voluntarily by men. However, during peacetime the draft could be eliminated. The armed services are becoming highly specialized, requiring the work of experts. The manpower needed during wartime is not needed under peace- ful conditions. The needed quantity of men of quality would enter voluntarily. Gene Santarelli - Of course th e draft is necessary, because if it didn 't exist, many of the men in the service wouldn't be there if the choice were theirs. Aggression and war-like tendencies are not a part of man 's makings; both characteristics do exist, but not in all men. They do not exist in those who enter the arm ed services by force, not by chance. Steve Gerko - I think the draft is necessary for our country to keep its image abroad. Our country must also draft men to remain great and free. Fred Bauer - I think the draft is necessary because enlistments would not meet the demand of men needed overseas.

These include, at present, King 's, Marywood, Misericordia, the University of Scranton, and Wilkes. The recognition of a formal organization carries with it Anancial and political implications.

For if there were no rules governing the relationships of men, our social structure would surely disintegrate. This is also true of any organization whether it be corporation, club, or even a library. . .. A library has as its purpose collecting books and providing for their circulation. In order that it may perform its duties with the utmost efficiency, the library must formulate certain rules and regulations to which it expects its clients to adhere. Thus central to the government of conduct of individuals is the idea of control. Within society, control is necessary to protect both individual and societal interests. So, too, a certain amount of control is necessary in a library to insure that the individual student is able to obtain the book needed for an extra reading assignment and that the entire student body is assured an adequate supply of source material. Likewise, law implies an obligation of respect from those who enjoy its protection. Thus our library, which operates on an open-shelf system, trusts that the student will follow the proper procedures when he desires to obtain a book. Because failure to follow these rules seems to be characteristic of the students of the· College, we must question their integrity and responsibility. Ethics, which concerns for the most part individual morality, is an important part of the law. For a similar ethical code of a group of individuals produces community standards which in turn influence law and order. If we were to accuse the student body of a lack of integrity in relation to the library, we might also speculate as to the general ethical standards of the student community. There is little likelihood, however, that the College is composed of moral degenerates who are all attempting to compile their own 10,000volume home libraries with the College's books. Rather than a lack of moral standards, there seems to be a lack of responsibility on the part of the student body. For most books are eventually returned - not by students alone, however, but by maintenance men who, while cleaning the dormitories, make big finds, or through the mail from other libraries. Student irresponsibility also reflects a lack of consideration for one's fellow classmates. It seems that the average student has forgotten or ignored the fact that the person next to him in Bioiogy 211 also has a term paper on the yellow-bellied sapsucker, and that he may very well depend upon the school library for the same source material. But we feel that the student is not wholly to blame. One must also consider that the physical setting of the library is conducive to the illegal acquisition of the College's books. One small circulation desk at which only one person can be taken care of at any given moment does not encourage desirable library habits to a student who is pressed f_o r t!me an~ is last !n a line of six or seven people. The alternative 1s to exit unnoticed through the back door, conveniently located a distance from the circulation desk. Then too, we cannot ignore the fact that those in positions of authority have taken no effective action to comba~ t~is problem. The student situation compounds the already existing problem of inadequate space for afi increasing number of books. The library can no longer adequat~ly administer its collecti?n of books because it cannot control 1t. There seems to be a feeling of indifference and perhaps helplessness, a tendency to blame the student and ignore the power of its own position among the library staff. Certainly there is a need for a change of attitude on the part of both the student and the library staff. We can only hope that the present conditions will not set a precedent for the prospective library.

The Russians have made a soft landing on the moon and, as usual , the United States has announced that it will attempt the same feat within a few months. It seems that whenever the Russians pull off a Space Spectacular, the U.S. must go into Cox,Chonecko Vie With Pie by Joyce Lennon The Lettermen's Club will sponsor its annual Cherry Tree Chop Friday, February 18, in the gym. Highlighting the evening will be pie-eating and logsawing contests between the faculty and lettermen during intermission. In the pie-eating contest, Dr. Harold " Save Your Confederate Money" Cox will attempt to avenge last year's humiliating defeat at the teeth of Joe " Here·s Pie in Your Eye" Chanecka. Students have reported seeing Dean George Ralston and Dr. Francis Michelini engaged in such strange activities as running along the dike in sweat suits and lifting snowballs with weights inside. These actions are perhaps due to their rugged competition in the log-sawing contest, namely those gridiron greats Ralph Hendershot and Rich Roshong. a mad expensive rush to accomplish the same feat . Therefore the question again arises, is it all worth it? The militarists claim that we must not allow the moon to become Russian property. If we do, they continue, it will be used as a military base from which Russia will be able to blackmail the world. This is sheer nonsense! The moon is absolutely useless as a military base. A rocket launched from the moon would take two and one-half days to reach the earth, while an earthbased ICBM takes only 32 minutes to reach its target. The President claims that in order to be first on earth, we must not be second in space. The facts do not support this claim. The pressing problems of the world will not be solved by our reaching the moon before 1970. Most of the world will still go to bed hungry. The population explosion will continue. Red China will continue its aggression and the arms race will proceed unchecked. Right now the nation is faced with the dilemma of Vietnam , and it is an expensive dilemma. It is costing us about 3 million dollars a day. In addition to the war in Vietnam , the President wants to continue with his economic programs here at home.

To spend all this money for these domestic programs and still support a wasteful crash space program is not justifiable in the light of the world situation today. A cutback must be made somewhere, and our wasteful program is one of the first places our economic planners should look. Man will continue to strive to increase his horizons. This is as it should be. This striving, however, should not be at the expense of a world which is far from the best of all possible worlds. Jette/' tc t,e Celittl' Candide Classifies Kooks Dear Editor: Our revolutionary age of intellectual freedom has seemingly produced on this campus a twentieth century Voltaire in the form of Mr. A . H. Kook. What do you suppose has sparked this scathing retaliation against clique-ism at the College? Rejection from his favorite table in the ca£? Absence from the starting five on the basketball court? Or possibly what he may consider as nonintellectual snobbery? Certain intellectuals are considered kooks by society's "normal" element. In this sense, the term "kook" is acceptable and even admirable. H o w e v e r , many individuals wear cloaks of individuality simply to protect themselves from their own prejudices and rationalizations. If they were suddenly stripped of these deceiving garments, their enlightened lips would form such frank statements as: "I am a weakling, so down with athletic cliques," or " I am an unloved cynic , so why not get revenge by attacking cliqueism ?" The syllogistical minds of such pseudo-intellectuals are nourished by rationalized rather than rational logic. Intellectuals are kooks. I am a kook. Therefore , I am an intellectual. Mr. A. H . Kook , are you for real? I would like to have my name added to those of Eglebert Eclair, Crimple Crumpet, and Creamy Oreo, the self-appointed champions of teamwork (or maybe " teamism" would be more satisfying for the "ismoriented" philosophers of our generation). The sarcastic pen of Mr. A. H. Kook sketches an idealistic literary world which is juvenalian, platonic, and quixotic in nature. His imaginary, cultured, intimate, sincere, non-conformist group of philosophers would indeed become a clique ( heaven forbid!) very similar to the eighteenth century " philosophes." It seems very ironical that he summarized his argument with " Down with c Ii q u e - ism !" Therefore, referring to Mr. A. H. Kook, I will paraphrase the famous ( or infamous) Francois Marie Arouet and say: "Ecrasez 1 'infame!"

Automation Conquers All by Helen Dugan The place was the Employment Office: it was dusk as I noticed a small figure seemed so pathetic that I felt obliged to stop and talk to him. Whether he was a mature man or still a lad I could not tell, for by his appearance he looked rather young , but the tone of his replies was that of a man well-weathered by experience. He seemed almost relieved of his burden when I inquired into his thoughts and asked if I could be of some assistance. He looked up at me with a slow, wistful smile and said, ·Thank you . It's nice to know there are still real people who care about real feelings." His answer perplexed me, and motivated me to inquire about the misfortune which had brought him to a place which seemed so foreign to him. He told me of his unusual trade and his gains - in pleasure and not money. When I asked how he could consider himself truly prosperous while having such an insignificant monetary status, he looked up at me once more. But this time he was not smiling. His look was that of disappointment as he started to shake his head once again; I could feel his confidence drawing away from me. Fearing that this small creature would withdraw completely and leave me before I understood his entrancing mystery , I hurried to mend the damage I had obviously done . "But what I mean is, what pleasure can mean so much to you?" Starting reluctantly but adding each word with more conviction and mean- ing, he replied, " My pleasure sir, is that of giving hope to all men regardless of social standing, race, or religion. What man is truly happy without someone to care about his happiness? What man can succeed without a will? What man is truly prosperous who lives his life alone? I bring happiness to those destitute, a will to those suppressed, and companionship to those alone." The more he spoke, the more confused I became. Why would a man of his magnitude be in search of a job? Although I tried to find some fallacy in his character, I could not. By simply hearing him laugh, I was convinced that he was in reality all that he professed to be. His eyes twinkled as if he had heard my thoughts trailing through my mind. Slightly taken back but not really surprised, I heard him say, "The reason for my present misfortune is automation." Rather disappointed at such a common answer , I was ready to extend my regrets and be on my way, wondering why I thought this man such a unique individual. But he saved me from making a hasty generalization by clarifying his seemingly simple explanation. " What with machines whirling unfeelingly through daily routines, challenging man, pushing him into a frantic climb for power and prosperity, there has been a terrible sacrifice made." "There is no longer time for individuality , for concern, for compassion - for love. Those are my products. They are pushed aside now and are requested by only a few obsolete fuddy-duddies who are silly and oldfashioned . However, it is not my loss but that of humanity that I grieve." At this he turned from me and started to walk toward the doors of the building; suddenly he stopped and glanced back . He had that same wistful smil e as he reached into his vest pocket and extended a small white card in my direction. A waking from my transfixion, I walked to him and took the card. He merely said , " J think there is hope in some of us who are not afraid of emotions and are not possessed by gain , and I think you might be just such a person. Feel fre e to call on me anytim e. " As he passed through the doors I looked at his card. The bold red letters against the pure white background read : DAN CUPID - Love, Inc. 'Soc' Majors Begin 'Groap' Activities program 'Eastside, Westside '." While conceding the value of such a program, Russo feels that it gave the impression that a social agency ordinarily deals with problems as varied as those discussed on the program. However, he said that in actuality such agencies are usually more specialized: they concern themselves with one or two social problems. Other officers in the club include Mary Ann Story, secretary , and Julie According to President Ron Russo, Palsha , treasurer. the purpose of the organization is "to Last November The Group heard a foster student interest in the field of sociology and to apply the social lecture given by H .

The club·s name was suggested by its vice-president, Annetta Long (stop thinking of Mary McCarthy's novel), and should be considered in the light of its sociological overtones. Pictured above is the new sociology club, the Group. President Russo, who last summer was an in-service training officer at the Center, stated that the club members were favorably impressed by the Center's methods, which he said focus mainly on the treatment of the in- dividual and his needs. Russo feels that such a program has been successful , in view of his summer experience, in the treatment of juveniles sent to the Center. The Group 's future activities include plans to visit th e Wyoming Valley Children's Service Center. There they will concentrate on the Center's social program for these children rath er than its more obvious psychological program . Dormitory Nurses Lisi Navy Seeks Recruits For Training Program Medical Aid Schedule On Tuesday, February I 5 representatives from the U.S. Navy will be on campus to recruit students for their new Reserve Officer Candidate program. Since the removal of the high school reserve program, this new program, ROC, offers the only opportunity for young men to enter the Naval Reserve. Open only to college undergraduates, the program encompasses their junior and senior years, beginning at the start of the junior year. Enrolled members are required to attend drills one week-end each month out of the school year and an eight-week session during each summer. These summer sessions will be held at Newport, Rhode Island . A student wishing to complete his education with graduate work may continue the program during this time also. There are financial advantages to be had through enrolling in this program. While attending school, the student enjoys a draft-free status.

But no. Roommates remain as big a problem today as they were when Ethan Mather founded the first American college. (Contrary to popular belief, Harvard was not the first. Mr. Mather started his institution some 100 years earlier. And quite an institution it was, let me tell you! Mr. Mather built schools of liberal arts, fine arts, dentistry and tanning. He built a lacrosse stadium that seated 200,000. Everywhere on campus was emblazoned the stirring Latin motto CA VE MUSSI-"Watch out for moose." The student union contained a bowling alley, a weighing machine, and a sixteen-chair barber shop.) (It was this last feature-the barber shop-that, alas, brought Mr. Mather's college to an early end. The student body, being drawn chiefly from the nearby countryside, was composed almost entirely of Pequot and Iroquois Indians who, alas, had no need of a barber shop. They braided the hair on top of their heads, and as for the hair on their faces, they had none. The barber, Tremblatt Follicle by name, grew so depressed staring day after day at 16 empty chairs that one day his mind gave way. Seizing his vibrator, he ran outside and shook the entire campus till it crumbled to dust. This later became known as Pickett's Charge.) But I digress. We were exploring ways for you and your roommate to stop hating each other. This is admittedly difficult but not impossible if you will both bend a bit, give a little. I remember, for example, my own college days (Berlitz '08). My roommate was, I think you will allow, even less agreeable than most. He was a Tibetan named Ringading whose native customs, while indisputably colorful, were not entirely endearing. Mark you, I didn't mind so much the gong he struck on the hour or the string of firecrackers he set off on the half hour. I didn't even mind that he singed chicken feathers every dusk and daybreak. What I dill mind was that he singed them in my hat. -~ ~~ ~ ✓ To be fair, he was not totally taken with some of my habits either-especially my hobby of collecting water. I had no jars at the time, so I just had to stack the water any-old-where. Well, sir, things grew steadily cooler between Ringading and me, and they might actually have gotten ugly had we not each happened to receive a package from home one day. Ringading opened his package, paused, smiled shyly at me, and offered me a gift. "Thank you," I said. "What is it?" "Yak butter," he said. "You put it in your hair. In Tibetan we call it gree see kidstufj." "Well now, that's mighty friendly," I said and offered him a gift from my package. "Now you must have one of mine." "Thank you," he said. "What is this called?" "Personna Stainless Steel Razor Blades," I said. "I will try one at once," he said. And did. "Wowdow !" he cried. "Never have I had such a smooth, close, comfortable shave!" "Ah, but the best is yet!" I cried. "For you will get many, many smooth, close, comfortable shaves from your Personna Blade - each one nearly as smooth, close, and comfortable as the first!" "Wowdow !" he cried. "Moreover," I cried, "Personna Blades come both in Double Edge style and Injector style!" "Sort of makes a man feel humble," he said. "Yes," I said.

It is hoped that with this information students will take a greater interest in the College's swimming team. The Wilkes mermen bowed, 60-35, to a perennially strong Millersville team last Saturday afternoon at the Central Y.M.C.A. pool. The Boaters' log now stands at 1-3. General rules1 1. Each college may enter two men in each event except relays. Only one team is entered from each college in relay events. A swimmer is allowed to compete in not more than three events in a meet. 2. Scoring for relays - winning team 7, losing team 0. Scoring for all other events - winner, 5; 2nd place, 3; 3rd place, I. 3. In the 500-yard freestyle race a gun will be shot to indicate when the leading swimmer has only 2 more lengths to complete. 4. Each swimmer is allowed one false start. A second false start will disqualify him. 5. A swimmer may swim any stroke or a combination of strokes in a freestyle race. Since crawl stroke is the fastest stroke known, nearly all swimmers swim crawl for freestyle races. 6. Diving: The first dive by each diver is the required dive for this meet. It was drawn by the referee before the meet from a required list of 5 dives in a hat. The diver may choose his next 5 dives , but must pick one from each of forward , backward, inward, reverse, and twist style dives. Each dive is assigned a degree of difficulty by the rule book according to its difficulty of performance. The diving judge scores the execution of the dive from 1 to 10 and his award is multiplied by the degree of difficulty. The result is the diver's score for the dive. · The only Colonel individual first place win in the contest was copped by Bryn Kehrli in the 50-yard freestyle event with a time of 26.2 seconds. Cocaptain Chuck Petrillo followed Kehrli with a second place win in this event. The Wilkesmen also took the 400-yard freestyle relay, the final event of the meet, in 4:49.5. Out of the nine individual events, Wilkes copped five second place wins. Millersville's captain, Bob Pulcher, captured two individual first place wins for the Marauders in the 200yard freestyle and the 200-yard butterfly events. Ironically, Wilkes swimming coach, Ken Young, taught Pulcher how to swim when the former was aquatic director at the Chester, Pennsylvania, Y.M.C .A . This past Wednesday the Colonels swam against Lycoming College. Because of the Beacon deadline, we are unable to print the results this week.

The pin, one of the fastest of the meet, came in 1:57 of the first period. Wilkes defeated the Marauders 34-2 last Saturday. McCORMICK PINS Cagers Down Juniata For First League Win by Bill Bush Last Thursday the Wilkes cagers traveled to the home court of Scranton University. Scranton is one of the strongest teams in the M.A.C. and always provides Wilkes with tough competition. The Colonels showed surprising team effort in the first half of play by matching the Scranton Royals point for point. Captain Joe Chanecka provided the spark to the Colonels' play during the first half. The score was tied 36-36 when the halftime whistle sounded. Throughout the season Wilkes has been plagued by second half trouble and th e Scranton game proved to be no exception. The Royals commanded the court for the remainder of the game, defeating the Colonels 83-65. Chanecka was high man for th e Colonels with 14 points. He is currently ninth in the league in foul shot percentage. Last Saturday the Colonels traveled to Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, to face Juniata College in a con- ference game. The teams were fairly matched as Juniata held a record of 2-9 while Wilkes posted a log of 3-10. The Colonels, led by the scoring of Reub en D aniels and Chanecka, played a good first half Juniata matched Wilkes point for point and commanded a three point advantage at the halftime. The Colonels, determined to gain a league victory, made a comeback in the second half and managed to contain the Juniata offense. The Colonels played an inspired second half, defeating Juniata 77-72. A new addition to the Colonels' varsity, Ron Ridzon , tallied 23 points for the Colonels." Daniels and Chanecka tallied 18 and 14 points respectively. This past Wednesday the Colonels, holding a 4-10 log, faced the leagueleading Lycoming cagers who held a 12-4 record. Tonight the Colonels host Drew at 8:15 p.m. Tomorrow night in another home game the Colonels meet Upsala at 8:30 p.m. The Colonels' matmen rolled over Millersville State College last Saturday night with a 34-2 victory. The win was the seventeenth in a row for the Colonels and it brought their record to 7-0 thus far this season. The Colonels took all but one match and that one ended in a draw. Before this meet the Colonels were ranked third in the nation according to the latest N .C.A.A. small college statistics. The lop-sided victory should enable the Colonels to maintain or improve their ranking. Jim McCormick, Barry Gold, John Carr, and Al Arnold all registered pins for the Colonels. Barry Gold came up with the fastest pin, I :27 of the first period. In the only bout which the Colonels failed to win, Jim Coffman led his Millersville opponent, Jim Shenk, 6-4, as the bout ended, but Shenk was awarded 2 points for riding time and the bout ended in a draw. The bout won by Yogi Michael ended with the Millersville wrestler leading 5-4. Michael, however, had succeeded in piling up considerable riding time and was awarded 2 points to give him a 6-5 victory. John Carr showed his versatility by moving up to the I 77-pound class and still registering an easy victory by pinning his man in 2:01 of the first period. In the final bout of the night Al Arnold turned in another fine performance by pinning the Millersville captain in 5:06 of the second period. 123-Comegys (W) decisioned Hess. 5-0. 130 - McCormick (W) pinned McKeeman, 1:57. 137 - Coffman (W) drew with Shenk, 6-6. 145 - Michael(W) decisioned Warner, 6-5. 152 - Wiendl (W) decisioned Peck, 11-1. 160 - Gold (W) pinned Tinpale, 1:27. 167 - Cook (W) decisioned Swift, 17-1. 177 - Carr (W) Pinned Cramer, 2:01.

Rosen This year's Winter Carnival was held on Friday, January 28, at Buck Hill Falls. Those who finished registering on Thursday bravely headed for the slopes, the pond, or picturesque walks in the below zero weather. After the chaos of Friday registration, underclassmen followed . Inside the Inn, games of ping-pong, pool, billiards, and bridge were enjoyed by those who escaped to the warmth of the fire. The activities of the day continued into evening with dinner and dancing to th e music of Mel Wynn and the Rhythm Aces. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of Darlene Moll as Snow Queen by last year's queen , Diane Alfaro. Members of the queen"s court were Maureen Savage and Cheryl Tarity. Darlene is a member of the Student Government and is president of Catlin Hall. Maureen is a cheerleader, a member of Women's Athletic Association, and a member of the Education Club. Cheryl is a member of T.D.R. and the Executive Council. Ron Czajkowski, co-chairman of the event, emphasized that the Winter Carnival is an annual non-profit event held for the students during midsemester break, as a strictly " fun " day. However, in their enthusiasm, not everyone had a " fun " day. Casualties of the day included a broken foot, a few broken ankles, and a frozen ear lobe.

She is ignored until a nondescript little man from the town of Bellac comes to her aid. He demonstrates that she can have her way with any man if she will, upon meeting him , declare that he is handsome, and compare him to the statue of the nonex istent Apollo of Bellac. This she does hesitantly, beginning with the clerk (Jan Kubicki) and working her way up through Mr. Cracheton, a director of the company (Stephen J. Gavala) , to her most successful victim, the chairman of the board (David Frey). She not only manages to make each man she comes in contact with feel important and useful, she also succeeds with the president of the patent company (Gene Susko) by changing his estimation of his own self-attributes and those of his wife Therese (Nancy Leland) . By changing his attitude toward his secretary Chevrendent (Sheryl Napoleon) , Agnes brings about a further transformation of his character.

The first is a four-week period of classes preparing the students for the student-teaching experience. Actual teaching is the second and most important step. The third phase , which takes place after their return , consists of four additional weeks of classes dealing with summaries of the students' experiences. The following will participate in the student teaching program : mathematics, Ann Bershee, William Schneider, Lois Petroski , Martha Dominquez, Stephen Grant, and Donna Pudlosky; history, Joseph Chanecka , Peter Duda, Peter Swanson, Robert Weston , Kenneth Williams, and F. Earl Eckhardt; art, Elizabeth Compton, Beverly Granat, Grace Jones, Jon Carsman, Martha Hahn, and Joan Klos; English, Jane Jancik, Nicholas Wartella, Patrick McGarty, and Carol Saidman; business education, Mary Krauser, Phylis Kravitz, and Karen Moran; biology, Sally Leonard and Doris Woody; general science, John Novy; economics, Christine Orlando; and chemistry, Peter Stchur. �WILKES Page 2 Contempt is proper when it is directed toward an ignoble person, an ignoble institution; but it is utterly unreasonable to be contemptuous of an ash tray or a coke glass. What is their particular contribution to ignominy that they should be so mistreated by certain of the College's students? What harm does a cafeteria ash tray bring about that it should be filled with garbage instead of ashes and butts? What is the offense of a coke glass that it should be tortured by burning cigarette butts? Perhaps the ice cuts short the glass's agony by its ability to quench the fire, but the point is that ashes do not coke does. For there is a purpose for everything; and a thing for every purpose. Turn. Turn. Turn. Ashes in ash trays. Garbage in garbage disposals. And coke in coke glasses. The cafeteria staff obligingly provides students with ash trays and refuse containers. Please do not pervert the natural purposes of these particular aids to better living. There is really no point in desecrating them - except per- haps to demonstrate a thirst for slovenliness on the part of certain students. And they should really not be so anxious to give physical expression to this drive to be enveloped by garbage. Their primary concern should be to maintain the cleanliness of their surroundings and to defend from perversion the natural functions of materials provided for their use. L.S. WHAT • WHERE • February 4, 1966 BEACON The Tables Turned In Sloppy Conversation Turn, Turn, Turn belong, in the first place, in a coke glass - COLLEGE by Helen Dugan Once upon a time there was a college - Wilkes College, to be exact. This was a very happy college - clap once for the public relations department. In this happy college was a cafeteria - a secret partner of the alka-seltzer company. In this nauseating .. . er ... nostalgically happy college cafeteria twelve wooden lives are so ruthlessly crushed each day that one must shake his head in utter contempt wondering how much longer the students' indifference will allow this vulgarity to continue. At approximately 7:30 a.m., the abuse begins. A half-dozing student staggers into the cafeteria day-sy side and recklessly tosses his books on the table. The table moans ever so slightly from the infliction. As the boy walks over to the counter to get coffee, the table utilizes its possibly last few minutes of solitude. Pssstt. Hey, table. Yeh , you with the shiney top - temporarily shiney, I might add. So you're new here , eh? Well, today is going to be a day you'll never forget. The kids are starting to come now , so you'd better prepare yourself for getting kicked, pounded , and overloaded till you think you're going to collapse. Hey, what's your name, anyway? Stately Stan Well, when I was a tree oh, those were the good ole days - all my friends use to admire my gigantic limbs that waved so gracefully when they were caught up by a passing wind. Someone called me Stately Stan and it caught on. But now with these rivets and this varnish, I don't feel so stately. By the way, what's your name, table? That's the story of my life. All my neighbors just used to call me 'tree.' They would say, ·· Hey tree, what's a scrawny little thing like you doing here with us great walnuts?" But I did get to be a table - those guys probably ended up as coffins - but now every one just says, " Hey, table." It's really very frustrating. Oh. I'm sorry. Didn't you ever have a name? I think its Tim, although no one ever called me that while I was growing. But one day it was the summer before I figured I would rot - this burly guy with an axe came up to my trunk and started hacking away. I know how it must have felt. I got it with a chain saw. Chopped Down Well, as I was saying, this idiot was hacking away at my trunk and it was terrible. There I was, sap running out, acorns dropping , 1 i m b s f 1 a pp in g around. I could feel myself starting to lose touch. I was franticly yelling, '"Hit'm with your limb, mama ." When my downfall became a certainty, I heard a shrilling voice cry out. It was mama. She was yelling, "Tim . . . Ber". But you don't have to be formal. Just call me Timmy. Why, you poor tree!

Now you are a sturdy table worthy of great admiration. Are you leafy or something? This is the Wilkes cafeteria. Watch this. I'll show you what I mean. See this guy coming my way? He is here every morning, and every morning he spills coffee on my varnish. See those blisters? Then he goes running off to class and always leaves his dirty cup stuck to my top. Oh, how awful. Open Wound That's not the half of it, Stately. Did you ever have sugar spilled in an open coffee wound? So you're thinking, fight coffee with coffee, right? Wrong . I tried it. I popped a board and sent a half-spilled cup of coffee into some crazy Shirley's lap. She kicked me right in a knot. I didn't stand straight for weeks. She left her cup there, too. That's horrible. Co u Id n ' t they put signs on the tables to remove the dishes? Are you kidding? A student goes to school for twelve years to learn to read . Right? He comes in this cafeteria with his friend, looks at the sign, says, '"Da .. Hey, Stretch. Wot's dis sign for?" Then Stretch says, '" Da ... Id't know Charlie. Ha, Ha, let's make an air-a-plane.'' Is it really that hopeless? Certainly is. But the morning is heaven compared to lunch time. On top of the sugar and coffee goes lettuce, mustard, cake, tuna fish , coke, dinner plates, dirty napkins, chips, cigarettes, and more cups and saucers. And when you are sure your surface is completely covered, the second shift of lunatic lunchers come in . Poor Timmy. Ahhhhhhh!!. ( Uttered in obvious pain) . Coffee? No, I think its tea with lemon. It's starting to curdle my varnish. Wait till you get the knife shoved in your grain. What happens after lunch? I mean, do the students clear away the dishes? It hasn't happened yet. They just keep piling them up until they cannot pile them any higher. Then do they take them away? Frustration Na. Then they start piling them on the chairs. That goes on till the end of the day. For nine hours you stand there wishing you could kick some kid back or better yet dump the whole mess in his lap - just to see how he likes it. What happens when all the students leave for the day? That's the time of day I have to keep thinking of to go on with this torture. About 5 p.m. a nice old lady comes with a big tray. She takes all the dishes and food away and scrubs my top with warm sudsy water. Gee, I didn't have it that good even when I was a tree. Yeh, that's the good time, alright. But it's the next thing that I really look forward to . Yeh. What's that? That's when she moves back all the chairs and brings mama over to see me. You mean she brings your mama in here? Yeh, she's a broom . Oh! �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, February 4, 1966 Manuscript Notice Classes Beld The next MANUSCRIPT meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 8, at 11 a.m. in Conyngham 209. Those interested in editorial positions on the 1966- I 967 Beacon staff may attend classes held by the editor every Tuesday at 11 a.m. in Conyngham l08. 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 ROMAN IN THE GLOAMIN' Now as the end of the first semester draws near, one fact emerges clearly: you are all going to flunk out of school. There are two things you can do about it. First, you can marry money. (I don't mean you marry the money itself; I mean you marry a person who has money. Weddings between people and currency have not been legal anywhere in the United States since the Smoot-Hawley Act. Personna® Stainless Steel Blades, on the other hand, are legal everywhere and are, indeed, used with great pleasure and satisfaction in all fifty states of the Union and Duluth. I bring up Personna Stainless Steel Blades because this column is sponsored by the makers of Personna Stainless Steel Blades, and they are inclined to get edgy if I omit to mention their product. Some of them get edgy and some get double-edgy because Personna Blades come both in Injector style and Double Edge style.) But I digress. I was saying you can marry money but, of course, you will not because you are a high-minded, cleanliving, pure-hearted, freckle-faced American kid. Therefore, to keep from flunking, you must try the second method: you must learn how to take lecture notes. According to a recent survey, eleven out of ten .American undergraduates do not know the proper way to take lecture notes. To illustrate this appalling statistic, let us suppose you are taking a course in history. Let us further suppose the lecturer is lecturing on the ruling houses of England. You listen intently. You write diligently in your notebook, making a topic outline as you have been taught. Like this: I. House of Plantagenet. II. House of Lancaster. III. House of York. Then you stop. You put aside your pen. You blink back a tear, for you cannot go on. Oh, yes, you know very well that the next ruling house is the House of Tudor. The trouble is you don't know the Roman numeral that comes after III. It may, incidentally, be of some comfort to learn that you are not the only people who don't know Roman numerals. The fact is, the Romans never knew them either. Oh, I suppose they could tell you how much V or X were or like that, but when it came to real zingers like LXI or MMC, they just flang away their styluses and went downtown to have a bath or take in a circus or maybe stab Caesar a few times. You may wonder why Rome stuck with these ridiculous numerals when the Arabs had such a nice, simple system. Well, sir, the fact is that Emperor Vespasian tried like crazy to buy the Arabic numerals from Suleiman The Magnificent, but Suleiman wouldn't do business-not even when Vespasian raised his bid to 100,000 gold piastres, plus he offered to throw in the Colosseum, the Appian Way, and Technicolor. So Rome stuck with Roman numerals-to its sorrow, as it turned out. One day in the Forum, Cicero and Pliny got to arguing about how much is CDL times MVIX. Well, sir, pretty soon everyone in town came around to join the hassle. In all the excitement, nobody remembered to lock the north gate and-wham! before you could say ars longa-in rushed the Goths, the Visigoths, and the Green Bay Packers! Well, sir, that's the way the empire crumbles, and I digress. Let's get back to lecture notes. Let's also say a word about Burma Shave®. Why? Because Burma Shave is made by the makers of Personna Blades who, it will be recalled, are the sponsors of this column. They are also the sponsors of the ultimate in shaving luxury. First coat your kisser with Burma Shave, regular or menthol-or, if you are the devil-may-care sort, some of each. Then whisk off your stubble with an incredibly sharp, unbelievably durable Personna Blade, Injector or Double Edge-remembering first to put the blade in a razor. The result: facial felicity, cutaneous cheer, epidermal elysium. Whether you shave every day, every III days, or every VII, you'll always find Personna and Burma Shave a winning combination. Page 3 Vujicas J'ouraey South For College Sabbatical In the summer of 1964 the College board of trustees voted to institute a policy granting faculty members sabbatical leaves. Dr. Stanko M. Vujica, chairman of the philosophy and religion department, and Mrs. Nada Vujica, head librarian, are the first members of the staff to take advantage of the new policy . Dr. Vujica and his wife have been at the College since 1947. Dr. Vujica is a member of the American Philosophy Association, the American Association of University Professors, and the Croatian Academy of America. He has published extensively both in English and his native Croatian, and has been chairman of the faculty seminar for the past few years. Mrs. Vujica is listed as a writer in "Who"s Who Among American Women, " and as an educator in " Who"s Who in Education ," and "Who's Who in Library Service." Dr. Vujica, on a previous sabbatical, spent a year in Asia studying oriental philosophies and religions. This semester he plans to retire to a warmer section of the United States to help the administration"s Balance of Payments Policy. Mrs. Vujica, who has also published in her native Croatian, plans to spend her time writing. She will resume her duties on June 15. ,❖,❖-,-·­ -- - Dr. and Mrs. Stanko Vujica make plans for sabbatical. Farley Presents Pion For Larger Library At a recent assembly meeting, Dr. Eugene S. Farley spoke on the topic "Short and Long-Range Development" which dealt mainly with the new library, a project he termed the College·s " most pressing concern." Pointing out the College's greatly expanded enrollment over the past ten years, including an increase of full time day students from 850 to 1,750, Dr. Farley stated that the inevitable result is a need for a new library that will serve for the next 25 years. Other facts that attest to the College's growth are: in ten years the evening school enrollment has doubled; the science, art, and humanities programs have been strengthened; and a graduate program in chemistry and physics has been introduced. The new library will shelve 300,000 volumes and will seat 650 students. Dr. Farley showed the necessity for this increased space by stating that within the last three years the use of the library has tripled. Increased enrollment and assignments have created the present-day situation where makeshift tactics have reached the limit. For example, because the present li- 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 "It's hard for a youngster to learn good manners without seeing any." brary has a normal capacity for only 50,000 volumes, it has been necessary to shelve books in the science center and reduce the seating capacity . This arrangement has allowed the College to accommodate the present collection of 80,000 volumes, hut since 6,000 to 7,000 volumes are added each year, it " is apparent that an impasse will exist until adequate space is provided. " The inevitable answer is a new library, the cost of which is estimated at approximately $2,150,000. Of this amount the College is s e e k i n g $1.500,000 from friends, while the remaining $650,000 has been assured through a federal grant from the National Defense Education Administration. Concluding his talk with a look to the future, Dr. Farley stated, "When the library is completed, it is hoped that the College will be able to strengthen and consolidate its position for several years before planning other projects involved in the long-range plans which have been projected to the year 2000." Senior's Exhibit Features Poetry Beverly Granat will present her Senior Art Exhibit, a requirement for all Fine Arts majors, in Conyngham Annex, February 7 to 12 from 9 a .m. to 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Some of Miss Granat's paintings are prefaced with poetry rather than titles, because there is "something in the spirit of the poem which is relevant to and expresses the feeling of the completed painting. " Miss Granat states that she believes all art stems from within the artist, but the spirit of the work is not present until completed. "A true artist can express this feeling in any medium: literature, music, fine arts, the dance, or the theatre. The medium the artist chooses is the one he feels he can manipulate best." Miss Granat also expresses herself in poetry . As an English minor, Miss Granat feels that literature is a necessary tie to her work in art. ICG Convention Dale, Plans Set The College chapter of l.C.G. will play host to members of the Northeast Region at the annual Regional Convention on February 20.

Higgens will speak to the studen ts at the Center for the Performing Arts, concerning volunteer work on Indian reserva tions, among migrant farm workers, in urban slums, and in rural pockets of poverty from Appalachian hollows to Alaskan villages. Higg ens is special assistant to the Direc tor of Recru itment and Com munity Relations for VISTA. He previously worked in public se rvice tel evision as a consultant, program participant , and producer , and is a former faculty member of the University of Maryland's overseas program . Higgens pointed out that out of the 1500 VISTA volunteers, at least 75 per cent are between the ages of 18 to 24. He stated that although many are recent college graduates, almost half have only one or two years of undergraduate work. He attributes the high rate of acceptance on the college level to their "initiative, commitment, and adaptability." These volunteers conduct literacy programs, organize clean-up campaigns, develop recreation programs. tutor drop-outs, set up libraries, survey health needs, and teach housekeeping techniques. Working with their sponsors, they develop a whole new range of techniques in doing the ir part in the war on poverty . Volunteers have th e opportunity to request service in a specific geographical area and to indicate the type of assignment they prefer. Before they can begin th eir assignment , the candidates complete a six-week training program. Volunteers serve for one year and are provided with living expenses and med ical care while th ey live and work among the poor. In addition to allowances for food , housing, travel, and clo:hing, they receive $600 at the end o f their service. The o nly requirement to join VISTA is that the applicant be over 18. No entranc e exa mination or interview is necessa ry . Application forms will be available on campus.

Still individuality and individualism are used synonymously. The re~ mainder of this dissertation concerns examples of these current meanings. Originality Commended An admirable application today of individuality pertains to those gifted of mind or pro~ ficient in skills who propose new theories , invent useful gadgets, or in some way improve conditions for the human race. These men set forth something truly original, instead of bor~ rowing wholesale from the past. While it must be stated that the past and its fundamental guides and recorded knowledge are indispensable to the furthering of mankind, totally new chapters from original minds must be chronicled in its tests. Thus the creative genius, not the financial wizard or the oddball, comprises the nearest sem~ blance to an individual. And yet so rarely does one person today gain fame for a single worth w hi 1e accomplishment. Movie stars receive press coverage for a walk across the street while accounts of scientists and inventors are relegated to technical journals or a small paragraph in some inconspic~ uous corner of a "name" magazine. Also today inventors work in teams or groups in~ dependently, or in the laboratories and research departments of large corporations or the government. 11i1~ g@@Wfi§SSlf!AfJ@P.TY IN COtJ\IERSATION Win+ C.C.

In other cases individuality now approaching individualism can manifest itself as a menace. Where conformity is a prerequisite to order as in the moral and legal conduct of society, individualism becomes a party to dissidence and rebellion which cannot be tolerated if chaos is to be prevented. Conformity, and not individuality, no matter how much the former is scorned or the latter extolled, must reign supreme for the greater benefit of society. Another instance in which individualism is a plague currently presents itself at the College. Our cagers, for which great expectations were held with a new respected coach and many new and highly talented players, have not produced as had been hoped. The present nonwinning condition may be amended by starring transfer students next semester, but the present squad could have done much better. How and why? Simply, there were too many chiefs and not enough indians. Too many basketball players were so "great" that they destroyed the team effort by seeking to augment their own glory. These "individualists" when in possession of the ball but well covered by the opposition .... even three men at a time ---would rather shoot the ball and try to add two points to their own tally than pass the ball to a "teammate" in order to set up a clear good shot. When our cagers become more of a team and less a conglomeration of stars, the College will see more praiseworthy performances than have been viewed during this semester. We have the material; let's produce, Coach! Singularity often e x i s ts where group effort would be more appropriate. Cliques, narrow-minded or otherwise, which may stifle individuality cannot be condemned merely because they are cliques. Further study of the situation is needed before anyone c a n apply a condemnation to all cliques or all individualists. We three hope that Mr. A. H. Kook will join our intellectual clique and become "cookie" rather than "kookie."

He delighted the hometown fans by defeating his I 67-pound counterpart from Cornell. Jeff Stephens, 5-0. Carr, last year's N.C.A.A. small college 167pound champion, was never in any difficulty throughout his bout. Other Colonels to place high were Al Arnold, Barry Gold, Dave Hall, and Joe Wiendl. All were eliminated in the quarterfinals. The Bruce Blackman Trophy, awarded annually to the meet's top wrestler, went to Wayne Hicks of the U .S . Naval Academy. This is the second y ear that Hicks has captured the Blackman award. He posted the only fall in the finals by pinning Alan Waite of Lock Haven in 8:30 in the 145-pound weight class.

The recent rise in the discount rate charged by our Federal Reserve banks to the commercial banks brings a crisis into A m e r i ca n government which has been inevitable but which all parties have sought to avoid. The question on the surface is simply, "Who is the best judge of the proper level of the money supply?.. Is it the President of the United States or the seven-man Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve system? The power to control the money supply is an awesome power. Should this power be responsive to the electoral process or is the power too tempting to be left to the politicians? The tradition of this nation has for the most part been a tradition of decentralization and diffusion of powers with regard to banking and every sophomore knows that the money supply is a creation of the privatelyowned commercial banks. The reserves on which demand deposits are based come from activities of our Federal Reserve banks. Specifically, purchases of obligations of the United States government by the central bank tend to increase reserves and deposits of member banks while sales of securities in the open market tend to lower member bank reserves and deposits. Also, the central banks can add reserves to the commercial banking system by lending at low interest rates. A rise in the rate paid by the commercial banks (the discount rate) indicates a tightening of reserves and money. Gold Outflow What current danger signs did the seven-man Board of Governors observe as they scanned the economic indicators this December? They were impressed with the upward movements in the price level taking place in the fourth quarter of this year after five years of relative price stability as measured by the consumer price index. They also observed that the persistent gold outHow problem seemed to be worsening in the fourth quarter. They reasoned that an anticipated rise in military expenditures could only increase inBationary pressures and aggravate the American gold position in 1966. The present time was the most opportune time to dampen price levels and to attract liquid holdings to American investments before the situation could become critical. The logic of the Board action seems unassailable, then, doesn't it? Opposition to the Fed action came from a rather impressive array of administration functionaries including Secretary of the Treasury Fowler, Director of the Budget Schultze, and Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers Ackley. It is relative to note that the seven-man Board of Gover~ nors itself divided four to three on the wisdom of the Board's action, with its controversial chairman, William McC. Martin casting the deciding vote. The administration's position developed by Fowler, Ackley, and Schultze stressed that with unemployment remaining at the three million level in the United States, it would be erroneous to draw the overheated engine analogy to the American economy's performance at this particular time. They stressed further that the administrative budget will be presented to Congress in January, 1966, and only with the presentation of that budget could a clear picture of inBationary pressures be derived. Pandora's Box Without regard for the merit of the opposite positions taken by the Board and the administrative branch of the government, it is obvious that the Board has opened a Pandora's box for Senior's Art Exhibit Features Abstracts by Florence Greskiewiez Visits to many museums in New York and Europe have contributed greatly to Miss Hahn's art experiences; she has also spent her summers improving her artistic abilities.

Congressman Patman from Texas, archfoe of powerful Federal Reserve Banks and tight money, is conducting hearings this week to determine in his words who is running the country, the Board or the President. While Patman's opinions have not been inBuential in his own House committee in the past, it is obvious that he sees in the current controversy an opportunity to raise havoc with the institutions which currently control money and banking in the United States. There is no mystery concerning what Patman would like to see Congress do. He would consider it a memorable capstone in his long career in the House if he could see the discretionary powers of the Federal Reserve System over the money supply destroyed. He would accomplish the end by making the Board and especially its chairman more subservient to Presidential policy by reducing the term of office of each member of the Board from 14 years to a tenn coincident with that of the President. In this way the independence of the Board would be reduced drastically. Low Interest Rates Conffict between the chief executive and the Federal Reserve system is nothing new on the American political scene. During the Truman administration, the Board rebelled against the function assigned to it by the Treasury Department of maintaining low interest rates on national indebtedness. The central bank's qualms centered at that time on the ways that the actions taken to keep yields low on Treasury obligations were simultaneously augmenting the money supply and causing prices to rise. The result of this controversy was a rather uneasy compromise or accord which acknowledged the independence of the Federal Reserve Board. John F . Kennedy in the 1960 presidential campaign, when queried on "Meet the Press" concerning his possible actions should there be a dichotomy between his policies and those actions which the Board resolved to follow, stated that this was one issue that he would rather not determine until he should confront a concrete situation. This is one of the few, if not the only, times that he evaded a controversial question in the campaign. The Federal Reserve system has, since 1914, undergone considerable change with regard to its proper function. In 1914, it was hoped that the Federal Reserve system would be able to avert financial panics like the one of 1907 by providing the country with an elastic money supply capable of expanding and contracting with the legitimate needs of the business community. Nobody would consider such a limited function to be the main role of the Federal Reserve system today. The relationship between the money supply and levels of employment and national output within the country is a clear and decisive one, and the central bank is expected to play a controversial role in that relationship. Friedman Thesis In appraising the future of the Federal Reserve system, it will be most interesting to find what inBuence views of Professor Milton Friedman of the University of Chicago may have. The Friedman thesis is essentially that there is a dir.ect linkage between the money supply and the level of net national product. Friedman holds that the most direct relationship exists not between money and prices as assumed in traditional economic theory but between money and the level of national output. Following this to its logical conclusion, we might discern a declining role, especially with regard to discretionary actions on the part of Fed and its Board of Governors. It is Friedman's position that if we have a policy goal of increased net national product by, let us say, three per cent a year, the money supply should be increased also by the same percentage. In this way value judgments would be removed from the central bank and transferred to the President and Congress. The entire question of an independent Federal Reserve system is a most fascinating one for all who are interested in problems in political econ- Are you one of those people who cuts every class the week before Christmas vacation in order to shop for gifts?

STUDENT TEACHERS FIND EXPERIENCE REWARDING by Lois Petroski Insecurity Common Having completed the second phase of their student teaching program, the actual teaching in co-operating area high schools and elementary schools, 53 students returned to campus last week to begin the final part of their program, summarization and evaluation of experiences. Rhoda Oram, teaching junior and senior literature at Crestwood High School , felt insecure at first. "I was afraid that I would not know enough," claims Miss Oram. "But I found that no matter how bright the students are, perhaps having I.Q.'s higher than that of the student teacher, they do not have the inimitable experience which four years of college provides. I surprised myself by expressing naturally a score of information beyond the textbooks. Things began to look bright after the first few weeks ... Also traveling daily to Crestwood was Bill Webb, who admits to an unexplainable nervous attitude. "It never failed," says Webb. "Every morning, as soon as I reached the traffic light at Industrial Park, my knees began to quiver. But as soon as I entered the classroom, the acceptance which the students displayed led to the cessation of the quivering.'' Student teachers spent the initial four weeks of the semester in relatively informal classes, preparing for their field work. During the eightweek teaching experience, they attended weekly campus seminars at which problems were discussed openly. Robert West and George Siles, members of the education department, are heading the program. Initial Difficulties Several of the student teachers consider their return to daily classes a unique experience. As Susan Evans phrases it, "I feel like an alien on Adolescent Feelings my own campus." But the singular feeling might be a natural culmination Clark Line entered the biology of eight weeks unique to the 53 in- department of Kingston High School.

Only under such circumstances can rewards be gained." Rewarding Experience Third and fourth grade teaching at the Franklin Street School provided daily rewards for Joyce Turner who claims, "It was great to see these young students take interest in most of what I did. I was rewarded each day in knowing that I took part in laying the foundation on which a great structure could be built." Miss Oram took personal interest in one girl who seemed to care little about school. and whose grades reflected her attitude. "By about the seventh week," she affirms, "the student was studying rather diligently and receiving better grades. I felt as though I had accomplished something. " Disappointed Idealist Line feels that the teaching experience for one who enters with the idealistic attitude of "lifting the students from their doldrums of apathy" can be a sad disappointment. He found it is a "hard pull to get the students to respond." But he discovered that achieving communication, if only with one student, can be rewarding. Line witnessed one of his students, a huge football player, rise gradewise, from "D" to "B". "It may sound corny," says Line, "but one day I saw in his eyes, where blankness before resided, a glimmer. I had incited him to think. This was the same student who, the second week of school, probably would have been much happier if I had kept quiet and let him sleep." Susan Evans found her first graders eager to respond. "My problem," says Miss Evans, "was having enough patience. The students learn by doing. They remember concepts when they themselves come 110 wifb them es-- pecially along the nature of science. However, the process of pulling answers from children so young can be quite long. Patience is vital to the successful teacher. " Donna Kimball , who taught literature, writing, and grammar at Meyers High School, found that students tend to resist being fed facts . "A more favorable atmosphere prevailed in my American literature class, " states Mrs. Kimball. "Students show more interest when they are allowed to offer their own ideas of interpretation. However, I had difficulty in asking questions which brought appropriate responses from the students." MR. "LOUIE" TUHY OF THE POLITICAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT. quite recently. The situation never got out of hand. My age did not lessen the respect which the students showed. It prompted a desirable relationship." "Although we were advised against becoming a 'pal' of students, I found it necessary to be their friend ," asserts Bill Webb. "My camp and Y.M.C.A . experiences proved advantageous to developing favorable relations with the young people at Crestwood. I chaperoned two dances and attended basketball games. The students saw me at these events and came over to talk with me. I feel that my interest in their extracurricular activities made them more interested in what I had to say in the classroom. Also, they seemed to overlook my shortcomings in the classroom. I really felt that they were on my side during the whole eight weeks." Line discovered certain of his shortcomings in the classroom also. He found that the atmosphere for learning is helped if the teacher can approach the level of the students. "Although the students would lose respect for the teacher whose level coincided with their own, they are less critical of the teacher who admits 'he doesn't know' once in awhile. They work with the teacher, rather than against him." Inhibited Students Miss Oram feels that the average high school student does not answer freely in class. She attributes the inhibition to "his excessive self-consciousness and consequent desire not to be the focus of classroom attention for fear of giving a wrong answer." Wilson expounds on the teenager's dislike of embarrassment, which he feels "leads one to apply himself scholastically." Being a history major at the College, Wilson is quite familiar with the technique of surprise quizzes. These he administered freely. "Rather than suffer the embarrassment Longer Period Needed of failure, " claims Wilson, "most stuMiss Oram feels that the actual dents, especially among the seniors, kept abreast with the material.

The purpose of this party was to enable those persons residing in the local rest homes to participate in a pre-holiday festivity . The party was enhanced by colorful decorations, candy, cake and beverages, along with a visit by "Santa," who gave a gift to all those invited. Included in T .D .R.'s most immediate plans is their annual Valentine semiformal, which will be held the week following the beginning of the Spring semester.

At Fairview, the College students were acquainted with the patients as well as the kitchen, recreation, ceramics, woodworking, painting and other shop facilities. Most of these hospital, patient-centered shops are self-sufficient with their products being sold to neighboring stores. The students also had the opportunity to attend a lecture and discussion session involving participation by several of the doctors at Fairview. The Psychology Club officers expressed their desire to initiate a program through which Wilkes, King's and other surrounding colleges could gain valuable experience in psychology, sociology and other related fields by working in connection with such institutions.

Beecher Charmbury, Pennsylvania's Secretary of Mines. Charmbury gave his views on plans for improvement of conditions in Wyoming Valley. Some of his statements offered hope for im- provement of conditions in the Valley, but on one basic point he did not sound optimistic. This point was the prospect of a stronger strip mine law for the hard coal region. for the bituminous region than it does for the hard coal region. A stronger strip mine bill had been passed by the Democratic House, but has been stymied in the current session by the Republicans in the Senate. This reporter was told that the present bill would not get out of the Senate, and was given the impression that this was exactly where the administration wanted the bill. Charmbury seemed to feel that the present strip mine law is adequate. However, it is well known that the current law offers stronger protection Vocotion Lihrory Hours In other areas the outlook is brighter. " Operation Goldfinger," in which it is proposed that compressed cars be placed in stripping pits, offers hope that two problems might be cleaned up with one program : if stripping pits can be filled with junk cars, then the countryside will be rid of the eyesore of both junkyards and stripping pits.

During the semester a great deal more than study has occupied the students' time. The individual student may spend his extracurricular time in diverse forms . Worthwhile activities, organizations, clubs, and galas offer worthwhile opportunities for enjoyable hours. Yet something much more than these officially organized groups and activities should exist for the extra-academic betterment of the student. Cliques Present Page 5 philosophical levels suffer derision by the efforts of narrowminded cliques. Those who revolt not from the physical norms imposed by current tastes ,......, for those bearded or uniquely clad are not to be dealt with here ,......, and assert i n d i v i d u a 1 i t y of mind are " branded."

Intimacy Scorned Another incidence to be avoided in these narrow-minded, suspicious, and accusing eyes are truly close relation- found too great a number in that category. These, too, retain old prejudices, quickly form new ones, and see no farther intellectually than the collective mind of their particular cliques. Such groups are formed not so much through earnest search as through mere circumstance. "Outsiders" are often treated with external civility while being regarded with baseless suspicion. Bias still blocks the open mind; conformity to the "in" trends stifles sincere, not revolting individualtm; h selfishness strangles love or umanity; a thumb to the nose replaces the helping hand; pseudo-aristocracy marks genuine culture; quasi-education very little encourages intellectual development. All of these manifest themselves here .at the College with varying degrees of signi- Even though the average campus cynic often dismisses the Christmas holidays with a "Yah, what tripe!" attitude, he must admit that the holiday definitely has certain beneficial effects on the student. At Wilkes, this blase outlook has given way to Christmas spirit, in spite of the efforts of our ever-present cynics. The holiday season officially began with the arrival of the first Christmas card,......, from Dr. Farley. "Angels" in the girls' dormitories have been hiding their Christmas presents. One woman who works in the cafeteria has been wearing holly earrings all week. The various choral groups ~n the music department, practicing for their numerous Christmas concerts, fill Chase Theatre and the surrounding area with holiday music. Campus organizations have begun to plan their Christmas parties. Most of the dormitories sport evergreen trees, greeting cards, and Christmas lights. The library has decorated its usual tiny tree. The Snack Bar has plac~d a. blue artific_ial tree in its window. The BEACON office, which is larger this year, contains two trees. Yet there are still a few spots on campus that have evaded the contagious holiday spirit. A dead Christmas tree lies neglected in front of Sturdevant Hall. Some teachers have persisted in assigning term papers and tests that are due January 3. A "Santa Claus is dead" sign has become entangled in the telephone wires near the library. The boys of one dormitory have painted a "Bah, humbug!" sign on one of its windows. Ah, well!

This led him to Western Electric. For WE agrees that ever-increasing knowledge is essential to the development of its engineers-and is helping John in furthering his education. John attended one of Western Electric's three Graduate Engineering Training Centers and graduated with honors. Now, through the Company-paid Tuition Refund Plan, John is working toward his Master's in Industrial Management at Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute. He is currently a planning engineer developing test equipment for the Bell System's revolutionary electronic telephone switching system.

This is a question that in recent years has caused much lively debate and several hundred stabbings among American college professors. Some contend that if a student's intellect is sufficiently aroused, happiness will automatically follow. Others say that to concentrate on the intellect and ignore the rest of the personality can only lead to misery. I myself favor the second view, and I offer in evidence the well-known case of Knut Fusco. Knut, a forestry major, never got anything less than a straight "A," was awarded his B.T. (Bachelor of Trees) in only two years, his M.S.B. (Master of Sap and Bark) in only three, and his D.B.C. (Doctor of Blight and Cutworms) in only four. Academic glory was his. His intellect was the envy of every intellect fan on campus. But was he happy? The answer, alas, was no. Knut-he knew not why-was miserable; so miserable, in fact, that one day while walking across campus, he was suddenly so overcome with melancholy that he flung himself, weeping, upon the statue of the Founder. By and by, a liberal arts coed named Nikki Sigafoos came by with her Barby doll. She noted Knut's condition. "How come you're so unhappy, hey?" said Nikki. "Suppose you tell me, you dumb old liberal arts major," replied Knut peevishly. "All right, I will," said Nikki. "You are unhappy for two reasons. First, because you have been so busy stuffing your intellect that you have gone and starved your psyche. I've got nothing against learning, mind you, but a person oughtn't to neglect the pleasant, gentle amenities of life-the fun things. Have you, for instance, ever been to a dance?" Knut shook his head. "H ave you ever " ••. and then to a justice of the peace." watched a sunset? Written a poem? Shaved with a Personna Stainless Steel Blade?" Knut shook his head. "Well, we'll fix that right now," said Nikki, and gave him a razor, a Personna Stainless Steel Blade, artd a can of Burma Shave. Knut lathered with the Burma Shave and shaved with the Personna and for the first time in many long years he smiled. He smiled and then he laughed-peal after peal of reverberating joy. "Wow-dow!" he cried. "What a shave! Does Personna come in injector style, too?" "It does," said Nikki. "Gloriosky !" cried Knut. "And does Burma Shave come in menthol, too?" "It does," said Nikki. "Huzzah!" cried Knut. "Now that I have found Personna and Burma Shave I will never have another unhappy day." "Hold!" said Nikki. "Personna and Burma Shave alone will not solve your problem-only half of it. Remember I said there were two things making you unhappy?" "Oh, yeah," said Knut. "What's the other one?" "How long have you had that bear trap on your foot?" said Nikki. "I stepped on it during a field trip in my freshman year,'' said Knut. "I keep meaning to have it taken off." "Allow me," said Nikki and removed it. "Land's sakes, what a relief!" said Knut, now totally happy, and took Nikki's hand and led her to a Personna vendor and then to a justice of the peace. Today Knut is a perfectly fulfilled man, both intellectwise and personalitywise. He lives in a charming split-level house with Nikki and their 17 children and he rises steadily in the forestry game. Only last month, in fact, he became Consultant on Sawdust to the American Butchers Guild, he was named an Honorary Sequoia by the park commissioner of Las Vegas, and he published a best-selling book called I W aa a Slippery Elm for the FBI. 0 1966, Mu Sblllmau The makers of Personna® Stainless Steel Blades and Burma Shave® are pletllJed that Knut ia li.nallg out of the woods-and so will gou be if your goal ia lw:u111 •ha11ln11.

This week the sports staff· bestows its "Athlete of the Week" honors on John Gardner for his mat performance. After a year's absence, Gardner, a The Wilkes cagers recently upped their log to 2-3 by downing Rutgers of South Jersey, 76-65, and by succumbing to Lycoming, 110-102, and Scranton, 71-56. 160-pound education major from Forty Fort, has returned to the Wilkes sports scene. Participating in the 152pound weight class, Gardner started the wrestling season in fine fashion against Ithaca last Saturday night. He completely overwhelmed his opponent from Ithaca and pinned him in 3:40. Gardner is a 1964 Middle Atlantic Conference wrestling champion. On the gridiron this past season, Gardner got off to a slow start but came on strong in the later part of the season to help the Colonels win their first M.A.C. championship. His best single game showing occurred in the Wilkes-Juniata game. In this contest he cracked off 60 yards on 19 carries for a 3.1 average and accounted for one touchdown. Last week the Colonels, with a 1-1 record at the time, travelled to Williamsport, Pennsylvania, to battle the Lycoming cagers. Previous to their encounter with Wilkes, the Warriors also had a 1-1 tally. A rugged Warrior offense was the key to Lycoming's triumph. JOHN GARDNER Gardner is a graduate of West Side Central Catholic • High School. At W.S.C.C. Gardner starred on the football, wrestling, and basketball squads. Lycoming proved too powerful for the Colonels as the Warriors boasted a 20 point margin at the halftime. The Colonels fought back in the second half but were only able to come within 3 points of Lycoming before the Warriors pulled ahead again. The contest ended with Lycoming ahead, 110-102. Reuben Daniels was high for the Colonels with 26 points and was followed closely by Dale Nicholson with 19 points. 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Last Saturday afternoon at Camden, New Jersey, the Colonels evened their record at 2-2 by edging Rutgers of South Jersey, 76-65.

At the dinner Hoover and Reese were presented with the Touchdown Club 's Trophy in honor of Wilkes taking the M .A .C . Northern Division Champions hip. The Wilmington Touchdown Club is made up of a group of about 150 businessmen who meet every Monday during the football season. Their main purpose is to sustain interest in the game. The club, which includes mostly college graduates, meets to discuss gridiron happenings. At th e end of each football season the club holds a dinner in honor of the champions of the three divisions of the Middl e Atlantic Conference. This year's trophi es were presented by Governor Charles L.

His second nomination resulted from his excellent display of defensive abilities against D elaware Valley. Yatko has been equally outstanding this past season as the keystone of the defensive team, which gained praise as being one of the toughest small college defenses in the East. Acclaimed by Coach Schmidt as " the finest linebacker in the M .A.C.," Yatko was involved in about a quarter of all the tackles made by the defensive squad. In addition, the Associated Press selected Yatko to the first team of its All -Pennsylvania Collegiate Football Team. The Associated Press also named Paul Purta to its second team. Purta was previously selected as outstand ing halfback on the Eastern College Athletic Conference weekly All-East squad. H e was extremely outstanding in leading the Colonels to a 34-0 victory over Ursinus. He personally accounted for 15 points, including three placements. His second touchdown run in the Ursinus game was one of the lon gest in the Middl e Atlantic Conference this year, covering a distance of 88 yards. The main speech at the affair was given by Bob Odell, the head football coach at the University of P ennsyl vania. In add ition to the Touchdown Club Trophy, the Wilkes gridders received furth er honors.

The Wilkes Open is the largest tourney of its kind and has gained world-acclaim, including coverage by "SPORTS ILLUSTRATED " which dubbed the tournament the "Rose Bowl of Wrestling." The "Rose Bowl of Wrestling" began as a wrestling tournament for high sc hools and colleges alike and was first held at the Y.M.C.A. However, because of the rapid increase in popularity and the sharpening of the competition, most of the present entries are from colleges, universities, and athletic clubs. The tournament, widely acclaimed as the "Rose Bowl of Wrestling, " is expected to attract well over three hund red contestants this year. Final date for entries has been set for December 18.

After rigorous prepara, tory training and dieting in order to lose an excess of 40 pounds, Carr battled his way to the finaJs where he met John Rushatz of Lehigh. Rushatz, however, proved to hold the upper hand as he pinned Carr in 8:58 in a match which saw both boys near exhaustion. The Colonels' hope of a Rose Bowl champion ended with Carr's loss. In last year's tournament , the University of Pittsburgh won team honors in the Open with Lock Haven second and East Stroudsburg third. Navy's Wayne Hicks was named outstanding wrestler in the event after having attained the most falls in the least amount of total time. Rushatz, 167-16. champion mentioned above , also scored the greatest amount of points per individual. Grapplers Cop Opener By Smashing Bombers The Wilkes grapplers emerged victorious last Saturday night by posting an easy 25-12 victory over the Bombers of Ithaca College at the Wilkes gym. It was the Colonels' opening meet of the season. Last year Ithaca handed Coach Reese 's wrestlers their on ly loss of the season . The Colonels avenged last year's loss to the Bombers with five of the Wilkes grapplers posting pi ns. They were Ed Witczak, Jim McCormick, John Gardner, Dick Cook , and John Carr, captain. Cook was leading 20-3 before he registered his fall. Carr had the shortest shift of the evening as he pinned his opponent in I :40. Wilkes ' victory was especially outstanding since the Ithaca Bombers wrestle the likes of Syracuse and Lock Haven State College, both of which are college mat powers, in its two upcoming meets. INTRAMURAL$ Intramural basketball rosters are to be ei ther in Mr. Schmidt's mailbox at the Bookstore or on Mr. Reese's desk at the gym by Saturday, January 8. Because of the changes in the College calendar, intramural games will not begin until January 31. By that time game schedules will be drawn up and posted on the bulletin board. Any student in terested in taking charge of the intramural program is also asked to leave his name in Schmidt's mailbox. In the 145-pound class, Wilkes' Vic Altonen, WILKES Vs. ITHACA pictured above right, bowed to Bob Cacchi of Ithaca by a 2-0 decision. The Colonels' grapplers downed Ithaca, 25-12, to reverse last year's defeat at the hands of the Bombers.

This was the first in a series of programs which the evening college, under the direction of Mr. Robert Capin, hopes to promote in order to make the evening college students a part of the general college atmosphere. In this way it is hoped the students will get to know each other as well as receive a broader view of the College curriculum. Thus the evening students are welcome to attend all of the College events, including special programs, assemblies, sports events, and dances. Those students who have not received activity passes may get one at the evening college office. In order to determine the desires of the student body , it was indicated that a consensus of opinion would be the best approach.

Co-chairmen of the formal, Ralph Hendershot and Mike Romeo, have stated that "the turnout for last year's formal set a precedent which will be difficult to surpass."

Bob W e ston, president of the Lettermen's Club, has announced that he has secured discount rates on tuxedos from the Bond Clothing Store to facilitate those attending the formal. Tickets may be purchased from any Letterman or in the Bookstore until 5 p.m. this evening; the admission fee is $3 per couple.

A large attendance of students was taken on a tour of the Center, after which th e students gathered for a brief session where they were served coffee and doughnuts.

Quinn The annual Christmas formal, sponsored by the Lettermen's Club, will be held tonight in the Manfield Ballroom, South Washing ton St., Wilkes-Barre. Dancing in the mirrored ballroom will be conducted from 9 to 12 p.m., with music supplied by Ed Zacko and his orchestra. Refreshments will be served throughout the evening by members of the Lettermen's Club. To add to the holiday atmosphere of the formal , tables, enhanced by centerpieces of snow-frosted pine boughs encircling glowing red candles, will be arranged around the dancing area. As an added feature, all couples may have their pictures taken against the attractive setting of the ballroom entrance-way. Cameramen will be on hand with Polaroid cameras, and each The drama "The Devils," starring Anne Bancroft and Jason Robards, uses the technique of having one basic stage setting, but focuses the lighting on one section of the stage at a time and directs the attention of the audience toward another part of the stage by other lighting arrangements in s~lisequent scenes. The result is that the 1 play occurs in rapid ffashes, comma~ ding the full attention of the audienq!. 'The Man of La Mancha," an offr Broadway musical in Washington Square, starring Richard Kiley, Irving Jacobsen, and Joan Diener, utilizes an octagonal forestage. Since the orchestra is not in a pit but rather split in two wings in the back of the theater, and since the seating arrangement is that of a horseshoe, the total effect is one of closer rapport between the audience and the actors. The theatre is so skillfully constructed that every seat in the house is comfortable and offers an unrestricted view of the stage. �Page 2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Jette,-, t, tl,e Ce/it,,. Friday, December 10, 1965 YOU Cf),N.T t.VEN KAELAGEE TEMPERS SCORCHED FILM FANS Dear Editor: I w ould like to clarify and expand the position I took up in la st week 's Beacon against the film, David and Lisa. Student reaction has been considerably hot and heav y against w hat I w rote . I have heard threats and in sults liberally heaped upon Kaelagee from many students . Of course , none of them knew that I w a s " Kaelagee." Most interesting of all, however, w er e two students, one of w hom implied to me that he wrote the rev iew and the other openly taking credit for it. If it will give comfort to David and Lisa fans , I should like to say a few words in favor of the film, although I still stand firmly by all I wrote last week. Some of the scenes did have a certain charm (when Lisa realizes that she is a " Pearl of a girl" for instance) , or humor ( the Puerto Rican boy's intimidation of David's mother) , or psychological insight, or honest sentiment. Popular opinion of the film is based on these few good scenes, when what they really are is a sugar coating over the silly, pretentious muck underneath . If people are offended because my review scorches the sacred cow, that's too bad. I can't really be concerned , for these are the same students who fight over seats upstairs in the caf to watch Soupy Sales and rush downtow n to the movies early so they won't miss the cartoon. (Maybe the Manuscript would fill up I I 6 again next time if it showed a cartoon . ) These students should be offended , not at me for criticizing their taste , but at EDITOR REVIEWS REVIEWER Dear Editor : As co-film editor of the Manuscript, I was particularly interested in the published commen ts of the Beacon reporter concerning David and Lisa, and concluded some clarification is needed for an issue or two which seems to hav e been presented incompletely. For instance, if one were to read the a rticle hastily, he might conclude Time was the only approver of David and Lisa, w hile in truth the film prompted ra ve reviews from the America, the Saturday Review, the Commonweal, the New Republic, the New York Herald-Tribune, and last but not (in this writer's opinion) least, members of Wilkes ' student body and faculty. Also it receiv ed the following official honors : Best Film By A New Director Award , Venice Film Festival. Best Actor and Best Actress Awards , San Francisco Film Festival. and a nomination for Academy Awards for script and direction. Multiplication Another obscuring comment was that concerning the audience a s being " the largest turnout this w riter has ever seen in fi v e years at Manuscript films ." Now, unclarified, this comment might so easily be taken as an insult to the catholicity of taste of the student body. Actually the turnout was little more than normal if we ESC.~~\St--\ ... ~ 1)\STOR.TION~ OF divide by two , and I'm sure the reporter knew that due to other college a ctivities Manuscript had been limited to one showing of the film instead of the usual two, and a s a result , had to accommodate an audience swollen to double the usual size . Precious Picture After these issues and a plot summary we come to the cru x of the article : " So why is the film a hoa x? " I wondered myself. I was afraid our reviwer w a s going to accuse David and Lisa of misrepresenting psychological concepts, yet the film has been found useful by high school and college psychology classes. Fortunately the reporter never does make this a ccusation directly. He concludes that the film is a hoax because it is simple. Well, I'm sure ev en our rev iew er realizes the makers of the film nev er expected it to be a s comprehensive as a psy chologist' s case report . I'm also sure he would agree that art can afford the simplicity which science cannot, and after all , David and Lisa is more poetic than scientific. In the final analysis then, after our reviewer himself has admitted that the film is " Precious because it is simple ," Manuscript has little to explain . A piece of art need not be " great" for our attention, a s long as it is " precious" enough to please.

Uninformed Campus It has also been said that my rev iew was a vicious attack on the Manuscript. Not so! There a re few other organizations on campus which have such an important reason for being as the Manuscript. The only thing is , they don't know how to run a good film series. Instead of worrying about whether their audience 's physical appetites are filled with cookies and coffee. they should be concerned with the satiation of t h e i r intellectual appetites. Wilkes undoubtedly must have the most uninformed campus in the world when it comes to the cinema . Mention Bergman and they think of Ingrid . Men tion Ford - and they think of cars . Mention Fellini - and they don't even think! Films have the potential to be the most educating media in existence . Therefore, I urge the l\fanuscript to take advantage of this fact and contribute to the intellectual environment of the campus. Bringing in unusual films is not enough . They can be made an intellectually stimulating experience , not just a place to go some Friday night on an inexpensive date. Solution How can thi s be brought about? Easy, with a little w ork. First of all , make the film an event. At King 's the campus is plastered with stills and posters from the films , and there is a legitimate attempt made to explain the more difficult films to the student body before they see it, not after. In this way, audience interest is heightened even before the film. Word of mouth only need not be necessary to insure the success of the film . In this respect, King's audiences are well- informed, although they are also rude and noisy (at Wilkes, a udiences are usually confused, but at least they' re quiet). Secondly, program notes should be distributed . These should contain criticism of the film from reliable sources as well a s pertinent information about the period in which the film w as made , its sty le , plot, importance , etc . This will give people something to do during reel changes instead of exchanging glib comments about liking ( " I understand it") or d isliking ( "I don't understand it") the film. If this is not fea sible , then I'm sure that members of our faculty would be more than honored to present a ten-minute discussion of the film for the edification of those present. Categorized Films Finally, some attempt should be made to categorize the films. Why not a semester of new w av e films ? or American film s of the thirties? or Bogart films ? The opportunities are endless. Such a series w ould enlarge one 's v iew of cinematic hi story tremendously. If one cares. Even the Manuscript can't be blamed if student apathy exis ts here . a s I'm sure it does. (Continued on ~ SE" F< . ... '[)"°\l.)N Yl>IJtl.~E.L.F \~ :SUS ~\E. !

The objective medium of camera and object is made sub- jective by the artist-photographer in his crea tive search for viewpoint in the slice of life. Cohen has used a Leica M3 and a Hasselblad 500C camera in producing the works of art for this first photographic art exhibit of the College.

Student Government was hesitant to rehold the elections in the junior class because this would not coincide with their policy of the "efficient operation" of the College. The fallacies in the above reasoning are as follows: I. Webster's defines the word approximately as that which is "nearly exact." Student Government, in holding that "approximately 58 " could have been 70, is rewriting the dictionary to make "nearly exact" cover a difference in figures which amounts to an increase of 20.6 per cent. If we accept Webster's definition, "approximately 58" w o u I cl mean possibly 56 to 60, a mere 3.4 per cent difference. 2. The acceptance or rejection of the nominations to an election is of no concern to the nominees themselves. It is the duty of the class parliamentarian to determine the legality of the nominations. 3. It is the duty of Student Government to uphold the constitutions of the individual classes wherever these do not conflict with its own constitution. In this instance, since there is no conflict between the constitution of Student Government and that of the junior class, a re-election in the junior class would only i n t e r r u p t "efficient operation" of the College! This would also uphold the Constitution of the Class of 1967. Parliamentarian-Class of 1967 Richard Lawrence Kramer Owed Respect Dear Editor: I was considerably disturbed by some of the opinions expressed in the survey on demonstrations. Several students stated that those who participate in demonstrations are irresponsible "excitement and publicity seekers" and that they are " radicals and rioters." It seems obvious that those who made such charges have not engaged in serious talk with anyone who has participated in a demonstration against American foreign policy in Vietnam. These people do not go to Washington, for example, just for a lark. They are dedicated to a cause and deeply sincere in their concern. There have been interviews in the newspapers with some of the leaders of the movement that prove this. They are probably more aware of what is going on in Vietnam and the issues involved than the majority of Americans, who are content to sit back and accept what the press reports without questioning. Perhaps the students who expressed such derogatory opinions last week disagreed with their position, but they should at least recognize that the demonstrations against American policy in Vietnam are following their consciences and are to be respected for this.

That thousands of sophisticated film-goers in New York City, where the film gained overwhelming success, should be taken in by this disarmingly naive film is unfortunate, but that Time should fall prey to such trivia as David and Lisa was inexcusable. However, it seems that the phony reputation the film still has with audiences has not yet expired, as recently evid~nced on the Wilkes campus. Two weeks ago David and Lisa was presented to an over8owing audience, the largest turnout this writer has ever seen in five years at Manuscript films. And once again the audience, supposedly intelligent and critical, was fooled by this pretentious, pseudo-arty hoax. Plot Briefly, the plot deals with two young patients in a special school for mentally disturbed adolescents. David, played by Keir Dullea with one baffled expression throughout , suffers from a recurrent nightmare in which he tries to cut off the heads of those who try to help him with the large hand of a clock, and from the fear of being touched; Lisa, played quite well by Janet Margolin, is schizophrenic and either talks in childish rhymes (as Lisa) or becomes mute ( as Muriel) . The two meet and are attracted to one another. What is quite inappropriate - and even less credible - and what finally excludes any degree of genuinely significant development, is the certain knowledge that David's clock hand will stop short of Lisa's head. After that, it is only a matter of time until Lisa speaks normally, and David, reciprocating, takes her hand. Fraudulent Film So why is this film a hoax ? Because we are led to believe that all either of them needed was a little kindly understanding from the right partner. At least that's all the film says, and in the first few minutes, too, when David and Lisa meet in the hall of the school. And it keeps on repeating it in every scene after that, including the final one, with the subtlety of a jackhammer. The script merely skims the surface, evincing little or no understanding of the complicated nature of the subject it's treating. I suppose we are expected to sit back and marvel at how simply and straightforwardly the story is presented. But when or where has it ever been commendable to praise inadequacy, the second-rate, the immature, simply because it is not too complex for everyone to understand? David and Lisa is made precious because it is simple, but the films of Fellini, Bergman, and Godard are great because they do more - con- I I I Ill llll II II II I IIIII I Ill II II Ill Ill llllll Ill Ill II I II I II Ill II Ill II I I I Ill 11111111111111111111111111 Boston Bibliophile Inquires Page 3 BEACON Librarian ,S tudies Nature ol Language by Leona Sokash siderably more - than scratch the QUESTION: Will you tell me surface of their particular themes.

The Wilkesmen, however, have made an impressive showing in recent scrimmages. Tomorrow the cagers face Ithaca College in an away game at Ithaca, New York. The Ithaca Bombers are considered an average team and should show the Colonels' relative strength. This Wednesday, Coach Rainey's cagers will meet Lycoming at Williamsport, Penna. Lycoming should also be one of the top M.A.C. contenders. They are a small but very fast team with two years of experience together. The Wilkes J.V.'s, coached by Jim Ferris, will make their debut at Lycoming at 6:30 p.m. The Wilkes grapplers will engage in their first competition today and tomorrow at West Point. Today the Wilkes first string will battle the Army J.V.'s while the second string competes against the Plebs. Tomorrow the opponents will be reversed. The cadets, as can be expected, will provide tough opposition. The swimming season does not begin until January 8.

The committee will also attempt to study the practical effects of a completely representative committee which would explore problems which may develop as the College increases its size. At this meeting Mr. Elliott motioned that th e committee should erase any implications which might arise concerning a lack of integrity at the College, and that the committee should emphasize that its establishment resulted from a desire for preventive rather than remedial investigation. will be "The Crisis in Central Asia : American View."

(See ,torv on page 6) * * * * SG Endorses Stotement On Moss Demonstrotions by Vicki Tatz Elections are being held today in the cafeteria lounge from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Th e freshman class is selecting its officers and Student Government representatives, and the other three classes one Student Government representative each. The latter is due to the passing of the amendment to the constitution providing for fiv e memhers instead of four from each class. This amendment was passe d two wee ks ago , 110 to 10. Student Government has decided to endorse a policy formulated by th e administra tion regarding student demonstrations. This policy suggests that mass demonstrations may not serve useful purposes, though they are "justified when individuals and groups are denied justice and support of our laws, but in many instances they merely arouse the emotions wi thout increasing intelligent dedication to the best interests of our country . . . In consequence. we do not deem it w ise to encourage group demonstrations as a means of expressing the loyalty that is our inherent duty. " Students who participate in demonstrations do so as individuals, not as representatives of th e College. This policy statement points out that the College has already had a blood drive , " from a sense of responsibility to our neighbors as well as to our servicemen," and that petitions are sensa tional but not really useful. However, the administration does encourage students to express them selves throug h such accepted channels as letters to Congressmen and free discussion. A press statement made by the admin istration las t month stated, "We recognize that in our pluralistic society a variety of ideas must be considered. We believe that through a thoughtful consideration o f many ideas and ideologies our students will be enabled to decide what is constructive and what is irrational." Furthermore, "The College has faith in its s tudents and in th ei r willingness to assume responsibility for their actions. W e will cooperate w ith them in any rational inquiry that can lead to better understanding. We will continue to maintain a free exchange of ideas with them. If this free communication of ideas is maintained we believe that irrational mob action is unlikely." The United Fund drive raised $730.58, according to Joe Brillinger, chairman. Th e All-College T h a n k s g i v i n g D ance is being planned for November 26. Hermon George is chairman of this event. The policy was passed by Student Governm ent stating that the list for Homecom ing queen and Cinderella shou ld be accepted as valid from the administration unless a three-fourths' vote of ~;tudent Government contests it. POLICY UBGES TH,O UGBT BEl'OBE SEN,S ATIONALISM The following statement is the official C ollege policy on demonstrations, formulated by th e administration and endorsed by Student Government: "We are very much concerned that our students assume all the responsibiliti es of loyal American citizens. We believe that it is our obligation to work for a stable, just, and representative government. But we simultaneously believe that in our democratic country it is essential that each individual give independent thought as to his public responsibilities. "Wilkes College has long supported the campaign for blood and wi thin the past week approximately two hundred students contributed to the Red Cross Blood Bank. This was done without fanfare but resulted from a sense of (Continued on page 4) responsibility to our neighbors as well as to our servicemen. In the future as in the past I am sure that our faculty and our students will contribute blood w hen it is requested by the Red Cross. "As you know , Wilkes College has already made a statement to the newspapers rega rding demonstrations. In this statement we indicated that thoughtful responsibility was encouraged and ex pected of our students. We are, however, not convinced that mass demonstrations serve a useful purpose. They may be justified when individuals and groups are denied justice and support of our laws, but in many instances they merely arouse the emo tions without increasing in telligent dedication to the best in terests of our country. Although we are ready to support our government and our servicemen we feel that this is to be done by a quiet and effective devotion to duty. In consequence, we do not deem it wise to encourage group demonstrations as a means of expressing th e loyalty that is our in herent duty. "The proposal that our students sign a half-mile petition is sensational but we do not believe that it rea lly contributes to that steadiness of purpose and devo tion to duty which is th e basic ingred ie nt of loyalty . "There are accepted means whereby a free people can express their concern. We urge our students to act within these accepted channels. Th ese include letters to our elected representatives, free discussion, and carefully considered programs of action. W e hope that a ll of these means will be used to ma intain and strengthen our free institutions." �Page 2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, November 19, 1965 /.ette,-J tc tl,e (dit,,.

This extra contact of which I speak is found in outside books. Not history books from a well-sifted list, but novels such as Forever Amber. When one reads a book such as this, the common man's misery is embedded into his mind in such an emotional manner that it is doubtful that he will forget it. But the ugly reality is always there.

But by being allowed to do more literary reading, as long as it shows some relationship to his work. the student is more likely to do the reading since he will be reading more of what he wants to read . He would also have to read the book in order to show an intelligent relationship between the book and the class. Quantity or Quality?

I think a demonstration in this area would show our patriotism and intelligent insight into this problem, Indian Student Gives View On A,,,erican Lile by Nancy Leland This is the second trip to America for Abdul Poonawala, one of the College 's Indian foreign exchange students. Abdul graduated from Clark Summit High School in 1963 after spending his senior year there as a Rotary exchange student. His home is in Bombay . Abdul, unlike most of his native country's population, is Moslem. But since India is a democratic republic, Moslems have no fear of being Moslems in a non-Islamic nation. When religious conflict made a division necessary , India, mainly Hindu, became a Hindu nation , while Pakistan, primarily Moslem, became a Moslem nation. Kashmi r, however, a small unit unfortunately located between India and Pakistan , was populated greatly by Moslems, but had a Hindu leader who joined India religiously; combined, Kashmir and India form the Indian Union. Abdul thinks that the war will last because both countries are stubborn, and that it may become a religious war because of its original religious split. The main result of such a war would be a drain on the economies of both countries. It would also create a condition which the Red Chinese would be quick to take advantage of by attacking from the Himalayas. Thus Abdul feel s that instead of joining either India or Pakistan, Kashmir should become a separate independent s tate and prevent this condition . Abdul has many opinions about America. He considers the younger generation of th e country most important because "from them will come its future citizens and leaders." But they , the country 's potential. take little interest in political and civil affairs; few of them hardly take th e time to read a paper concerning matters of their own money and their own country. H e further stated that although Americans would like to be religious ( primarily the younger generation again} , th ey aren't. "Th ey want to be thankful to God for all that they've got, so they take a few hours out of each wee k to hear His words in church. For them religion is like a subject: they go because they sort of have to , but those thousands of years of traditions and precepts are for priests and bishops, not for twentieth century Americans." Indians are more generous than Americans, according to Abdul. He said that an Amer ican with $2 would be less willing to give it to a person who needs it than an Indian would. Indians are in favor of the old-fashion ed attitude of pursuit of brotherhood and moral good , wh ereas Americans are in pursuit of money. Indians are s tarving, whil e Americans prosper. Thus Abdul feel s that his fellow Indians should perhaps abandon their attitudes for those involving more modern economic goals. Y et. he points out, Americans, with the greatest amount of food in the entire world , have " . . . sufficient di ets to keep them from eating it." H e also general ized the outlook for economic prosperity in the United States: "What can ever be wrong with th e economy of a country whose most vexing problem is to find a place to park a car?" Abdul was amazed at Americans ' fid elity in th e matter of romantic relationships. " It is quite different from th e sex game depicted in Hollywood." He feels that he could never be as faithful to one girl as are some Americans he has observed . Some of his fri ends call him "a little playboy Indian. " Abdul summed up hi s feelings about America: "I love the places and fri endly people. I feel very much at home. Americans treat foreigners well." York Times signed by over 500 college professors who said in essence that "the United States owes more to humanity than to invade a country where they have no right to be." My country means more to me than big business enterprise. Claire Sheridan: What day are the marchers going to enlis t? Clark Bromfield: If demonstrating accomplishes nothing else, it at least provides a peace ful , non-violent re lease for personal emotion and opinion. P ersonally, I strongly believe in demonstrations, and I think that a majority of the students involved in demons trations for any cause are serious-minded young people. John Butnor: D emonstrations are useless. Those who are in power have mad e up th eir minds on the issues and usually ignore th e demonstrating min ority. Judy Simonson: D emonstrations on Vi et Nam are very childish and useless. Th ey do not allow th e individual to express his ideas. A much more effective wa y resulting in some action is to write to th e local politicians and to hold debates on this topic. D emonstration s based on on e's rights un der the law, however, may be useful. Rich Hermann: A demonstration on Viet Nam can accomplish very little in this a rea or any other. Usually those people who initiate demonstrations are seeking personal gains, often publicity for th emselves. Most people who join these demonstrations are in th em onl y for amusem ent , not for any se riou s purpose. Those who do have a se rious purpose are overshadowed by the amusem ent seekers, a nd th erefore do not succeed . George Pawlush: D emonstrations are acceptabl e, only if th e parties involved really have a cause to fight for. Too many tim es demonstrators get in volved only for th e action a nd noise, having no firm beliefs in what they are supposedly striving for. In a democracy, causeworthy demonstrations are necessary to prese rve the bas ic freedom s g iven to us by our for efather s. John Rigas: I feel that it is every American's duty to support our stand in Viet Nam. Every individual who makes it his business to back up the President is automatically casting his vote against the oppression of communism. If a demonstration will show this support, then I am for it. Lynne Mallory: Such a mass demonstration would probably accomplish as much for this area as any demonstration has accomplish ed anywhere else. Exactly what is "accomplished " is nothing but an expression of group participation. Often, the principle behind such demonstrations in which I ha ve participated has been forgott en by a great many of the demonstrators as they are caught up in th e joy o f just "demonstrating ." My motives for attending such a mee ting would be to have my opinions heard and my patriotism demons trated. I would definitely re frain from attending a meeting against the President's policy because I agree with his policy Angelo Speziale: Th ere is very little and I don 't want to be classified as practical valu e in a demonstration.

Analysis Demanded Since cutting down on facts or homework merely to leave the student more free time, in hope that he uses it for reading, would be promptly rejected by most instructors, the next best thing , allowing time for readins:i b11t demanding analysis and relationships, should be put into effect. By this method, students would be given time for reading and that reading would be a help in their studies. Although the fault of a mechanized education seems to have been placed totally with the school. this idea can not be left uncorrected . The fault lies with the monetary minds of the present. People are trained to grasp and run. They do not reJect what colleges are changing into because it is the interest of the people that is changing the colleges. Thought Courses But before this situation turns to utter chaos, someone must make the move back to intellect for intellect's sake, and the only place where this can truly start is in schools through courses of thous:iht and practical courses which are supplemented by reading . Therefore, by applied thought through reading and reason , colleges can raise the intellectual level of its students and meaning will replace maIf so, you're not one of our customers. terialism.

Let us turn now to the second categorymental inferiority. A lot of people think they are dumber than other people. This is not so. It must be remembered that there are different kinds of intelligence. Take, for instance, the classic case of the Sigafoos brothers, Claude and Sturbridge, students at a prominent Western university (Dartmouth). It was always assumed that Claude was the more intelligent just because he knew more than Sturbridge about the arts, the sciences, the social sciences, the humanities, and like that. Sturbridge, on the other hand, was ten times smarter than Claude when it came to tying granny knots. But no matter; everybody looked down on "Stupid Sturbridge," as they called him, and looked up ~o "Clever Claude," as they called him. But who do you thmk turned out to be the smart one when their granny almost got loose and ran away? You guessed it-good old Stupid Sturbridge. We arrive now at the final category, financial inferiority. One way to deal with this condition is to increase your income. You can, for example, become a fence. Or you can pose for a life class, if your college is well heated. But a better way to handle financial inferiority is to accept it philosophically. Look on the bright side of poverty. True others mav have more money than you have, but look ~tall the things you have that they don't-debts, for instance, and hunger cramps. Always remember, dear friends, that poverty is no disgrace.

For the past two years, Barre Hall was the Dorm League champion. In the Western Dormitory League a three way tie for first place exists between the Y .M.C .A ., the Sterling Hotel , and Gore Hall. Each of the three teams has three victories. Y e s t e r d a y Gore played the Y.M.C .A . with the winner of this game meeting the Sterling on Monday to decide the Wes tern Dorm League champs. The winner of Monday's game will later meet Barre to decide the Dorm League champion. The standings of the independent teams is as yet undecided. Independent League team captains are asked to contact Forres t "Ike" Eichmann at Miner Hall , 823-9338, to double check and clear up team results and statistics. This past week, one game remained in both the Dorm and Independent Leagues. Neither game, however, had any effect on the final team standings.

Among the lettermen are the four leading memhers of last year's team - Joe Chanecka and Dale Nicholson, co-captains, Mike Sharok, and Jim Smith. Joe Stankus and Jim Vidunas, both of whom played two years ago, have returned to the squad. Don Ridzon. Dick McKay , and Bob Litts will be valuable additions when they become eligible. Some outstanding fr eshmen are Rueben Daniels, Bill Ryan, Bob Phillips, Joe Koterba , and Dave Peterfriend . Compared to most of its opponents, Wilkes is not a tall team although it is taller than last year. However, they make up for their lack of height with speed and desire, two important elements that th e Colonels need to develop into an outstanding team. Mr. Rainey did not wish to comment anymore than to say that he noticed the good attitude and th e hard work and that, if this continues, Wilkes may pull a few surprises.

Th e grapplers of Coach Reese, who attained a 9-1 log last year, will be out to run up a perfect tally this year. The grapplers have the personnel to do so. Mr. Reese has probably the best returning nucleus ever. Leading the squad will be Captain John Carr. Carr is defending M.A.C. champion and an N.C.A .A. college champion at 167 pounds. In addition there are five other returning lettermen - Joe Kiefer, Vic Altonen, Dick Cook, Fran Olexy, and Dave Hall who was defeated only once last year by default. Returning after a year's lay-off are Tohn Gardner, Bob Weston, and Joe Settineri. Settineri was an M.A.C. champion in his freshman year. This year Coach Reese was greeted by the largest turnout ever and by the best group of freshman . In Jim McCorm ick, Joe Wiendl, and Francis Michael he has three '65 state champions. Other promising freshmen are Al Arnold, D ennis Spense, Jim Coifmon. Ed Witczak, Gaylord Cruse, and many others. Mr. Reese, like all coaches, never likes to be optimistic, but he says that the group is really working hard and, barring injuries, the outlook is brighter than ever. Th e varsity team will participate in exhibition matches on November 23rd at Princeton and on December 4th and 5th at West Point.

E MAC CROWN We certainly want to heap our praises upon Coach Rollie Schmidt and his gridders for their outstanding performance this past season, The acclaim that they have been receiving of late has been doubly and triply deserved when one considers that last season the Colonels were the bottom rung on their M.A.C. division ladder. That they have moved up to the top of the mountain in one se,ason is indeed indicative of the calibre of this year's squad. The Colonels success can be attnbuted to many reasons - the experience that the members of the team have gained after one or two years of play; increased effort, determination, and spirit on the part of the team; more experienced players who are drawn to the College by increased assistance to athletes; the excellent quality of the coaching staff; and more expression of spirit and support on the part of the student body. Whatever the reason, the results are all too evident. As Art Hoover has pointed out, many schools, expecting Wilkes to be an easy touch, had scheduled the Colonels for a Homecoming or Parent5' Day game this past season . There have been plenty of disappointed alumni and parents at all of the schools which have used this sort of planning. In the future these same colleges will have to think twice before resorting to this practice again. Since his team is composed mainly of underclassmen, especially freshmen and sophomores, Coach Schmidt will undoubtedly be looking forward to a repeat performance of this year's success next season. After closing their slate with a 6-6 log as compared to last season's 1-8-3 tally, the Colonels' boaters have also witnessed a much improved season. The boaters' success is, no doubt, attributable to many of the same reasons that fostered the grid success. Although, we could probably say that the boaters were somewhat psychologically hampered by the perennial student apathy toward soccer. Perhaps with more student support, the boaters' tally might have weighed more heavily on the win side. Nevertheless, this has been a season of firsts for the soccermen. With thirty-six points scored this season, the boaters have set a new school scoring record for a single season, shattering the old record of twenty-six which was set by the 1958 squad. Also, this year marked the first time in the past ten years that the boaters have defeated Stevens Institute of Technology. It is our hope that the boaters, who will have a large nucleus of their team returning next season, will witness an even greater improvement in their game. ~ ._ ,. by George Pawlush The Wilkes Colonels returned triumphant last Saturday night after copping their first M.A.C. title crown in the College's history. The Colonels ended a very successful season by clobbering the Roaring Lions of Albright College, 37-7, before a large aggregation of Colonel fans at Reading. ..1/i' · I ·' .

In its early stages the game appeared to be a tough battle for both sides. Albright and Wilkes fought to even terms in the first half, but the Colonels' grid machine, scoring 23 points in the second half, turned on the power in the second half to completely devastate the Lion's defense. The Colonels had trouble moving the ball through the early part of the first quarter. The big break came in the closing stages of the first stanza when the Lions were penalized fifteen yards on a face mask pulling infraction. This brought the ball to the Albright 34-yard line. In six plays Rich Roshong and John Gardner moved the pigskin to the 7-yard band. On a third and five situation Roshong took to the airways and found Mike Connolly alone in the end zone, giving the Wilkes squad their flrst score of the game. Paul Purta split the uprights to give the Colonels a 7-0 lead. The Lions, unable to penetrate the line, took to the airlanes and minutes later deadlocked the score.

Hendershot is a 5 ' 11 ', 215 pound center hailing from York, Pennsylvania. This season the offensive line has often been overlooked while the defense and offensive backfield gobbled up all the publicity. All year, the offensive line has opened up huge gaps in the enemy defense, allowing the ground machine to have been as effective as it was. As an alumnus of Wilkes College I feel compelled to take this opportunity to express my congratulations to Coach Schmidt, his assistants, and the 1965 Wilkes College football team on their fine success this season. While there have been lean years on the gridiron, it is a reality that the spirit of the administration, the coaches, the players, and the student body has not failed. That spirit has certainly been rewarded this year. The Colonels led in first downs, 14-8. The Lions completed 6 out of 21 aerials for 82 yards while the Colonels collected 7 yards on 2 passes.

Again I say congratulations for a job well done. Sincerely, Bernard J. Kosch Class '61 Cridders Shower Schmidt, Aides After copping the M .A.C. northern division crown last Saturday afternoon , the jubilant Colonels tossed Coach Rollie Schmidt and his assistants - John Rowlands, Jonah Goobic, and Chuck Adonizio - into the showers as a part of the victory celebration. They even tossed Art Hoover and Dr. Anthony Turchetti, team physician, into the drink. Coach Schmidt commented, "It's just starting to settle in. We spent the first hour after the game getting everybody out of the shower. I'll say one thing - we 've got the cleanest crew around." The players carried Coach Schmidt on their shoulders from the field to the lockerroom while the Wilkes band played and the large aggregation of Colonel fans cheered. Last season Albright defeated the Colonels by a score of 48-14. Referee Tom Sullivan said, "This was one of the cleanest games I've worked all year. Both teams were real gentlemen." Schmidt further commented, 'Tm proud of these kids. They were a little tight in the first half, but Dan Malloy's interception and runback got us going. We played our best ball game of the year in the second half. The kids could smell it. The conference championship was only thirty minutes away." Albright coach John Potsklan was all praise for the Colonels. "They really deserve to win the title. They were by far the best hitting team we've played all year," he said. Schmidt was asked if he felt confident that the Colonels would take Albright. "Yes, I felt we would do it all week long. Usually I'm pessimistic. I look for the worst and hope for the best. But this time it was different. We all approached the game with a positive attitude." A Reading sports writer, who covered all of the Albright games this season, was running out of superlatives to describe the Colonels. "Where did they get that bunch of animals? They came to play . We didn 't see a better team all year and Albright has played the likes of Lycoming and Gettysburg." Hoover, as enthusiastic as any of the students, said the Colonels have ruined many homecoming and parents' day attractions this year, including Albright's Parents' Day.

Disinterest Kills Shuttle System Because of the apathy shown by the College students, the administration was forced to drop the shuttlebus system. Mr Hoover stated that arrangements have been made for the 29 students to park on campus He explained that the shuttle system could not be used for such " a small number of students." The alumni judges who viewed the displays on Friday night announced the winners at halftime. Trophies for the best overall display and the best men's display were awarded to Gore Hall. The theme of their display was a "Gore-ee Welcome to the Alumni.

Students To Demonstrate In Support of Viel Nam The new athletic field was dedicated by Dr. Farley and named Ralston Field in honor of Dean George Ralston. The sign for the athletic field was unveiled. An informal cocktail hour was held at the Holiday Inn for members of the classes having reunions; a dinner followed the cocktail hour. The alumni culminated their weekend at an informal Homecoming dance at the Dorian Room of the Host Motel. Ray Barno and his nine-piece orchestra provided the music for dancing. The undergraduates climaxed their weekend with a well-attended dinner dance at High Point Inn at Mount Pocono. Dinner was at 7 p.m. in the Inn 's colonial dining room, followed by dancing from 9 to 11 p .m. Music was provided by Gene Dempsey and his 13-piece orchestra . by Leona Sokash Feeling the need to emphasize the position that student demonstrations against administration policy should not be considered the consensus of opinion among college students, members of th e five area colleges Wilkes, King 's, Misericordia , University of Scranton and Marywood have organized what John Cavallini termed a ··peaceful demonstration in support of the President's policies in Viet Nam. " Jim Bourne, editor of the King 's College Crown and one of the coordinators of the march-, stated that the main purpose of the demonstration is " to show th e public how college students in this area are in favor of administration activities in Viet Nam. " Students from the College intending to participate in the march will meet at th e Commons on November 18 at 3 p.m. Afterwards, th ey will march up North Main Street toward Public Square, where they will be joined by members of the other four colleges at 3:45 p.m. Mayor Frank Slattery will speak, and plans are being made to ha ve represe ntative Flood also address th e demonstrators. BEAT ALBRIGHT �Page 2 WILKES COLLEGE Friday, November 12, 1965 BEACON l.ette,-J t, tAe (dit,,- A Burning Question That the citizens of the United States have taken full ad, vantage of their right of free speech cannot be denied. In recent months we have witnessed the outbreak of demonstrations whose participants have upheld causes which range from the support of civil rights and free speech to the denunciation of United States participation in the Vietnamese war. Those who desire the cessation of demonstrations are stand, ing on shaky legal grounds. To deny these people the right to express their opinion would be to violate their Constitutional rights. It is our contention that demonstrations have definite hen, eficial aspects. Legal demonstrations provide an outlet for pent, up anxiety and hate which otherwise might manifest themselves in violence and lawlessness. Then too, public demonstrations are advantageous if those who support them sincerely believe in their particular cause. It is rare that a person has definite opin, ions about anything, and for one to take specific action in support of an idea is more honorable. However, we must object to those people who demonstrate just to demonstrate, who join a demonstration because it is "the thing to do" in order to be part of the "in" crowd. Those who join a demonstration because it is the latest fad are equally as guilty as people who exploit these situations for political ad, vantage and free publicity. Thus, while we support demonstrations, we must make qualifications. For it is not, we feel, important that one demon, strates but why one demonstrates. WHAT • WHERE • WHEN Asserting Opinions Results In Effective Safety Valve Dear Editor: Ours is an age when free, dam of opinion has taken on the characteristics of a vogue rather than an inalienable right. As a result, students across the country have found themselves to be treading on dangerous ground by overasserting themselves and their opinions. Indeed, there must be numerous student bodies who dare not attempt to set forth their opinions because they fear stern actions from their respective administrators. The students of this institution, however, are indeed fortunate in having the environment for growth as established for them by their administration. By keeping this editorial space open for students to voice their opinions, no matter what those opinions may be, the Beacon and the administration are setting examples of the very basis upon which our heritage has been founded. The College's students have an outlet, Card Savers Dear Editor: The college-aged students of the United States have been badly criticized in r e c e n t months for their attitude toward the Viet Nam issue. This criticism has resulted from the unfortunate wide-spread publicity given to the small, noisy minority of students who have been opposing the American defense of Viet Nam. Consequently, a number of students have come together to form the new bi-partisan Na, tiomtl Student Committee for the Defense of Viet Nam. Our sole purpose is to mobilize colleqe students in a concerted effort of responsible action in support of American resistance to Communist aggression in Southeast Asia. We welcome your cooper a, tion and assistance in this bipartisan , national program to show the American people that the new student radicals do not speak for our generation in their irresponsible opposition to our country's policy in Viet Nam. If you have any questions as to any phase of our committee, please feel free to write us at the address given below. Yours truly, Nat'!. Student Commitee for the Defense of Viet Nam P.O. Box I 852, Georgetown University Washington , D .C.

The letters which h a v e appeared in past issues of the Beacon are not always indicative of the views of the entire student body, but their effect is. The students realize that such an outlet prevents the growth of serious problems by throwing them into the open before they brew and ferment into ugliness, before "their wrath does grow." Students who have not yet used the medium of the Beacon are reassured by its availability. Those who are responsible must surely be acting in accordance with the French philosopher-writer Voltaire, who in essence wrote: I do not agree withwhatyousay,butldeknd to the death your right to say it.

Hardy drew upon the experience of his four months' trip through Southeast Asia, Japan, Hong Kong , Nepal. and India to give the students his ideas on the Viet Nam problem. Dr. Alexander, chairman of the King's College history and government department, lectured Tuesday before members of the Junius Society. The lecture was given as one part of the exchange program between the history societies of the two colleges. Previously, Dr. Harold Cox of the College history department has spoken to the Herodotus Society at King 's.

The crowd was the larg est turnout to see a College game here in years. While Wilkes was busy last week dumping a non-conference foe for their sixth win this fall, all but one other northern college division foe were eliminated as title challengers. The one remaining contestant was reduced to hoping for a first place tie at best, as Upsala was edged, 7-6, by Moravian. It was Upsala , that inflicted Wilkes' Dean Ralston expresses his appreciation for the ironically, honor bestowed upon him at last weekend's dedica• single loss of the season, but now the Colonels cannot finish worse than tion ceremonies. 5-2 in the conference, and the Vikings can do no better If Wilkes can manage a likely win over Albright tomorrow, the race is over. DEAN HONORED Rolston Field Dedicated Wilkes dedicated its new football field with appropriate half-time ceremonies at last Saturday's Homecoming Day game with Delaware Valley. The new field was named Ralston Field in honor of the C ollege's Dean of Men, who served as pioneer coach in most sports at Wilkes following World War II. Realston is shown at left expressing his appreciation, calling the honor "the most memorable experience of my life - and I've had many of them here." Ralston also mentioned the Wilkes scoreboard which is a memorial to Lt. N eil C . Dadurka , USMC, who lost his life in a plane accident. Dadurka was captain of the 1956 Wilkes team. The scoreboard is a gift of the class of 1960_ The dedication ceremonies also included members of Ralston 's famed Seven Blocks of Anthracite - as his 194 7 line was dubbed - who presented him with the official commemorative sign which will be permanently placed at the field. AI Molash, an end on the 1947 team , is at right. Wilkes entered the game second in the nation in rushing with a 306.6 average per game. They were sligh tly off that mark yesterday with an aggregate rushing yardage of 279. Th e Colonels were thirteenth in the nation in total defense going into the game with a 137.8 yards per game average. A missed field goal and a rash of penalties kept the Colonels scoreless until late in the first period. Quarterback Rich Roshong took charge of the ball club at the Rams' 38-yard line. thanks to a short D elaware Val- Ferrismen Win and Bow; Set New Scoring Record by Bill Bush The Colonels boaters triumphed over Hofstra College, 5-1 , in a Homecoming match last Saturday, giving the alumni a fine display of their ability.

The victory marked the fourth win in succession for Coach Jim F erris' boaters. After Hofstra the Colonels were 6-4 overall and 4-4 in the M .A.C . The Wilkes offense proved too powerful to contain in managing to slip five goals past the Hofstra defense. Joe Kiefer booted the initial goal for the Colonels on a penalty shot late in the first period of play Hofstra bounced back in the second ·period to tie the score at 1-1 . With two minutes to go in the half, Wilkes was able to take the lead again with a shot by Russ Jenkins, giving the Colonels a 2-1 lead at halftime.

A number of years ago all cigarette machines were taken off campus. Granted, it is not too difficult to secure a pack at the J.C.C., the post office, the gas station next to Parrish, or the Y,M.C.A. The decision to take cigarette machines was made after the 11overnment-sponsored report linking cigarette smoking to cancer and heart disease. It is not the decision I question; rather it is the right of the administration to make that decision. Rabble-Rouser We are called apathetic, but those of us who fight for what we believe are criticized by the administration. No doubt at this very moment I am being categorized as a "crack pot" or "rabble-rouser." However, thought and idea transcends name-calling and subtle blackballing. by Walt Narcum There has been much criticism of the President's Viet Nam policy lately. 0 d d 1 y enough, in this oddest of all possible wars, the criticism has come from both pacifists and those desiring stronger action in Viet Nam.

The reason they give for this demand is that the South Vietnamese people have a right to choose their own form of government and their own leaders. However, the facts show that people of South Viet Nam will in no way be , able to achieve this goal by a United States withdrawal an~ the subsequent Communist tal{eover that will inevitably take place. In no country where the Communists have assumed control, have the people of that country been able to choose their own government and their own leaders. As evidence. we only have to look to Cuba, Hungary, and all of the captive nations behind the Iron Curtain. There is no reason to suppose that South Viet Nam will enjoy a better fate than these nations. Popular Support The pacifists go on to say that the South Vietnamese do not support the war against the Viet Cong. This statement. also, is not borne out by the facts. The South Vietnamese army has faced the Viet Cong _ for many years and has suffered a high casulty rate in this war, Still, they show no sign of giving up their struggle and surrendering to the Viet Cong, The United States cannot, in all consciousness, do less than the freedom-loving people of South Viet Nam. Stronger Action The criticism of the President's policy has not come exclusively from the pacifists. His policy has also come under attack by those desiring stronger action in the war. For instance, the minority House leader, Gerald Ford, has demanded that we also bomb the -· capital of North Viet Nam, (ConHnued on page 3) �WILKES Friday, November 5, 1965 COLLEGE BEACON "We Don't Use Flying Carpets" Or, Haroun-Al Rashid Reappears by Leona Sokash He also thinks that Am ericans are rather religious. "lraquis are also a religious people, and are also very tolerant. We do not kill Jews . . . Seriously!

"A few things I want to stress," laughingly declared Umid Nejim, new math instructor at the College - "we don't use camels as our major mode of transportation; we also don't use Hying carpets, and we have no harems." Although a former resident of Baghdad , which is in the central part of Iraq ,' Mr. Nejim's people are from the In foreign affairs, he feels that northern part of his country, from the land of the Kurds, a people noted for Americans are taking a greater interest in other cultures.

Now, Iraq has four important universities, the best of which is the University of Baghdad, which has colleges ranging from the sc iences to the fine nrts. In 1959 Mr. Nejim graduated from the University of Baghdad with a r .S. d eg ree in electrical engineering. He later taught in the School of Radar in th e lraqui Air Force. With a combination of grants from the University of Baghdad and the Carnegie Institute of Technology, Mr. Nejim was able to obtain his M.S. degree from Carne11ie Tech. ("I liked Pittsburgh, and I have a number of friends there. The city reminds me of Baghdad: the streets are not straight - ii isn't a classical American town.")

However, he also said, "The UGLY Bamdi Discusses ESP Al Meeting AMERICAN is at last a reality in the Peace Corps." To Mr. N ejim, it seems that Americans are st ill suffering from the complex that our literature, art , and music are inferior to those of Europ e. "Because an opera company is from Europe. this does not mean that it is better. I find the Metropolitan Opera fantastic - better than any other I've seen. Europe has, perhaps, a more historical backround for its art , but this does not imply that its art is better." He notes that Americans have "quite a respect for higher education; though I do think the trend is too much into the sciences. Too many people are entering the field because they are only attracted by the money. But after they leave college, they 'll have to continue their studies. And if they don 't keep up , if they don't have a real interest in their subject they 'll be thrown aside." He sees no real anti-intellectualism in the United States. H e stated, "Well , the American public seems to dislike beatniks. And if they consider beatniks intellectuals, their dislike of such groups may be a sign of anti-intellectualism ." He also feels that the antiautomation attitude among people who are too old to be retrained and who feel that technical progress seems to be taking food away from them may be cons :ru ed as an anti-intellectual attitude. But in general , he fe els that the term intellectual is getting rather blurred when it is applied to bearded lovers of existential philosophy and poetry . He believes that intellectualism s hould apply to logical argument, to logical thinking. During a past winter season, Mr. Nejim and a friend camped on the way down to the Florida Keys. He d isliked the South 's high humidity ( "Most of Iraq has a very dry, hot temperature." ) and most of the Floridian cities because " they were too ccmmercially oriented. " He found the Everglades, where his friend and he spent a night, similar to the marsh regions in the south of Iraq. H e also traveled through the Carolinas, Virginia, Kentucky , and Maryland (" Do you consider Maryland part of the South?") He found people in the South rather sensitive about the subject of integration. But "the scenery is very nice and the food is good and cheap."

He offers this criticism on the grounds that if the United States is attempting to win the war in Viet Nam, it should use every means at its disposal. Such an argument is hard to counter and so far the P resident has not given a plausible answer to these charges. He has stated that the bombing of Hanoi would involve the bombing of a civilian population and would not be justified at this time. This statement is not congruent with our policy to persuade the North Vietnamese to halt their aggression against their neighbors to the south. Perhaps the President has some further knowledge of the situation w hich would support his stand. If so, he should make it available to the public in order to consolidate the nation behind his position on the war in Viet Nam . Test of Criticism The President has tended to hold the view that all the criticism of his policy concerning the war has given the Communists the idea that the United States' resolution to support the war in Viet Nam is weakening. However, just the opposite is true. If in some way the debate on the war in Viet Nam were to be curtailed, this fact would show the Communists that our policy is not strong enough to stand the test of criticism. Constructive criticism by responsible people must be allowed to continue until we have a policy that will ensure the freedom of South Vie_t Nam. �Page 4 WILKES COLLEGE Shinn Scirr Cheries Bonor Dorm Rules by Helen Dugan While walking from South Street to East Northampton along River Street, one takes note of the various buildings owned by the College. As one stands on the corner of South and River Streets, the spacious library towers over his image. As he walks down River Street, Chase Hall comes into view, then Dennison Hall. After Warner, Ashley , Butler, and Barre Halls appear , the next College building to be viewed is the President's house - right? WRONG. seems to be a utopic opportunity (after one learns to accept rejection) . It has the same rules as any other girls ' dormitory. Although each girl has a key to the apartment, there is a s ign-out sheet on which the girls are expected to record their comings and goings. Under such an honor system it would seem that leniency would prevail. but such is not so. The girls respect the rules of curfew and quiet hours and they all comply with them. This compliance is not an odd action when one considers that each girl is one of five instead of one of 40 and This leads to a feeling of not being 'in' with the dorm students. The hardest position to overcome is that of the two freshmen girls. Because this is their first year , they do not have a wide range of friends as yet and such a dorm situation as this is not helpful in acquiring the range of friends that is necessary for a full college life. Another problem, though of lesser importance, is that of not being allowed to vote in I.D.C. because of their size. Although they send representatives on their own, their opinion does not count when a vote is taken. Friendly Birdbath After passing Barre Hall, one sees a friendly birdbath in the yard adjoining the President's house. This birdbath is not present merely to acknowledge the relationship between the College and the S.P .C .A .; it announces the existence of something much more important (if I may, dear S .P.C.A.) that is, people. At 130 South River Street, behind the Rowing birdbath, is the residence of five rejected dorm students. This dorm, in order that it may be a part of them, has been nicknamed Shinn Scirr. (The reason for the name can be learned by a friendly call or visit to said residence). Unnoticed The dorm is really only an apartment, but the five girls who it accommodates are full-fledged dorm students assigned to this building for the next year, although they have been acknowledged as such by very few. They posted their names on the birdbath to let the College know they were a part of it but as students rushed by, the s ign fell among the trampled leaves; and the rejected dormies futilely waited on their living room Aoor hoping for the arrival of someone - anyone. But not even the man who was supposed to deliver their furniture would acknowledge the presence of their new dorm. To put an end to the exclusion of these disclaimed students, the Beacon steps forward to honor them as the Dorm of the Week, which, since this will be its first and only presentation, is a very unique award. Representative Group Enter the 'dormie debs'. Besides being a part of the freshman, senior, and graduate classes, these dorm students represent a large part of the world, starting with Nancy Roney, who hails from Anchorage, Alaska, to Hiroko Ito, who has come to the College from Japan. Susan Respaut comes from Pleasantville, New York, and Noreen Considine and Irene Scheining are local residents. Both Miss Respaut, who is a business education major, and Miss Roney who chose English as her major, are freshman class members. Miss Considine, a psychology major, is a senior, as is Miss Scheining, who serves as the dorm proctor ( the only female proctor on campus). Miss Scheining is a registered medical technologist and has returned to school to pursue her major in history. The last, but certainly not least, of the girls is Miss Ito. She graduated from Hushi College of Pharmacy in Japan, where she is a registered pharmacist, and is doing her graduate work in chemistry. · While with its gigantic fireplace and its artistic birdbath, Shinn Scirr Hall Friday, November 5, 1965 BEACON Junius Society Sponsors Mid-East ConIerences Within the next few weeks, the Junius Society will present several new programs. Although the Society is a relatively new one on Campus, it has concerned itself widely with extra-curricular activities dealing with politics and history. The immediate plans of the club are for discussion and debate of contemporary political issues. The second stage of the Society's teacher-exchange program will be held on November 9 with a presentation by Dr. Alexander, chairman of the history department of King 's College. Dr. Alexander's topic will be "Is Communism the Wave of the Future?" The time set for the program is 7:30 p.m. at a place to be announced. Dr. Harold Cox of the College's history department spoke to a group of King's students as the first phase of the program. His topic was on the Reconstruction Era. · The Society flas also scheduled a program on November 20 with local high school teachers and students concerning diplomacy in C entral Asia. The Junius Society has invited representatives from India, Pakistan , and our state department to participate in the program. India has agreed to send A . S . Chib, her first secretary, and Pakistan is sending M .I. Butt. A state department official will open the conference with a discussion of the central Asia area, its importance to the United States and other world interests, and our own related foreign policy. This will be followed by seminars conducted by local and College speakers who will review several aspects of the Asian problem. Following campus tours and lunch, attendants of the conference will have the opportunity to hear the views of the Pakistani and Indian officials on their present strife. This will be followed by a reception.

New York C~ �WILKES Page 6 COLLEGE BEACON Friday, November 5, 1965 COLONELS AXE INDIANS by George Pawlush The Wilkes Colonels again retained th eir M.A.C. northern division lead by downing a stubborn Juniata Indian tribe, 30-20, before a large Parents' Day crowd at Huntingdon, Pa. The Colonels, now carrying a 5-1 record, scored four touchdowns, a field goal , a safety , and an extra point in beating Juniata for the first time. The teams have met on the gridiron six times. Wilkes, in recording its fifth win of the season, avenged last year's hum iliating 51-0 scalping at the hands of the Indians. The rugged Colonel de- fense again proved supreme, throttling the Juniata offensive attack and limiting them to a minus 43 yards rushing. In a game marred by fumbles and blocked punts, the Colonels took advantage of the breaks and overcame an early deficit to cop the victory. The Colonels received the opening kickoff but failed to mount a substantial ground attack and were forced to punt. An aggressive Indian defens e blocked the punt. An alert Juniata lineman pounced on the ball in the Colonel end zone and went over for the quick touchdown , putting Wilkes behind 7-0. The Colonel grid machine then went into high gear with John Gardner, Rich Roshong , and Ray Lowery gobbling up most of th e turf. The attack seemed stalled on the Juniata 31. but a 22 yard pass from Roshong to Joe Skvarla put the Colonels in a good position on the 9-yard band. One play later Gardner sca mpered through the Indian line for the Colonels' first score. Purta's placement was on its mark, tying the score at 7-7. Later in the first quarter Al Yatko recovered a Indian fumble deep in Juniata territory. Minutes later the Colonel ground attack again went into Va:r chol, Layden, Kane Win Pra.i se lor Delense Ellorls by George Pawlush Last week the Colonels' defense again shone in forcing the Juniata Indians to a minus 43 yards gained rushing. This noteworthy display on the part of the defensive team makes it difficult for the Beacon to select only one outstanding football player of the week. In this issue we, therefore, would like to applaud the efforts of Brinley Varchol. Bill Layden, and P . J. Kane. Varchol has been impressive all year at hi s corner linebacker slot. Mainly covering the short pass zone, he has two interceptions to his credit this year. Against Juniata, Varchol recovered a fumble in the second quarter, se tting up the Colonels for their third score. Later in the fourth quarter he provided the game-clincher by picking off an Indian aerial and romping 48 yards for the touchdown. Varchol. a sophomore math major, is a 6 foot, 195-pound localite. At Wilkes he lettered in football in his freshman year, and while a student at Hanover High School he lettered in football and wrestling. Layd en, at 6 foot , 2 inches, and 225 pounds, is one of the biggest players on the Colonel squad. A freshman business administration major, he has been eq ually outstanding in the grid war. On most Saturday afternoons Layden can be seen charging out of his action with Lowery providing most of the bullwork. Roger Beatty capped the drive by cracking in from the !yard band, giving the Colonels a 13-7 lead. Midway into the second quarter Brinley Varchol recovered a fumble on the Indian 15. Six plays later Rosh ong scampered in for the Colonels' third tally. A two point conversion attempt failed, but the lead increased by twelve points. Seconds later P . J. Kane also got into the act by thieving an Indian aerial, but a Wilkes scoring drive fizzled. Taking possession deep in their own territory , Juniata failed to move the ball and was forced to punt. Al Yatko blocked the punt, resulting in a safety. The scoreboard now read 21-7. Purta completed the first half scoring by splitting · the uprights from the 20, giving him field goal number three for the season. The Colonels went into the locker room holding a 24-7 command. · The third quarter was played to a standstill with neither team able to crack the other's goal line. Early in the fourth quarter Juniata exploded Going into last weekend's clash with Juniata, Wilkes ranked number two nationally among small colleges in rushing offense with a total of 1.533 ya rds gained on 332 rushes for an average of 306.6 yards per game. In addition, the Colonels are ranked tenth in total offense nationally, with an average of 386.4 yards gained per game on 380 plays; total yardage gained amounts to 1,932 . On total defense, Wilkes ranks thirteenth in the nation, having allowed only 689 yards to opponents for an average of 137.8 yards per game. The average is computed on 269 plays.

Colonels lo Bost Delaware Aggies For Homecoming by Frank Rodella Tomorrow at 2 p.m. the Colonels host the Delawar'e . Valley Aggies in a Homecoming contest at the Wilkes Athletic Field. The Colonels will be out to display their championship form for the returning alumni and reverse last year's 21-13 defeat at th hands of th e Rams. Al so, the formal dedication of the new athletic field will take place tomorrow. The 1964 meeting of Wilkes and Delaware Valley saw th e Rams, who are coached by H. W. Craver, a Wyoming Valley native, pull out their first victory in the series after three consecu tive losses. In the '64 edition of the series, the Rams also enjoyed their greatest rushing game ever with 256 yards. Two Rams' stars back from last year are quarterback Gary Ulrich and halfback Joe Franchella, a native of Plains. Franchella was the Rams ' outstanding player in last year's meeting with 167 total yards and 74 yards on one touchdown carry. Along with these two school records, Franchella also intercepted a Colonel pass. The success that the Colonels have in containing Franchella could be one of the key factors in this year's contest. The Ram s, who have 16 returning lettermen, tallied a log of 3 and 5 last season. The Colonels are favored to win their fourth game in a five game series with the Aggies of Delaware Valley.

The caravan, carrying the cheerleaders, majorettes, and kickline, will lead the students to Nesbitt Park, Kingston , where a pep rally will begin at 8 p.m. The rally will be emceed by Ed Pashinski, and will include performances by the cheerleaders, majorettes and kickline. The highlight of the rally will be the lighting of the bonfire and the burning in effigy of the "Ram" of the opposing team, Delaware Valley. Honored guests who will be invited to the rally include Deans Ahlborn and Ralston , Millie Gittins and the Homecoming Queen and her court. Barbara Doorish, working with Norma Falk and Mary Stravelle, the pep rally chairmen, has made the final plans for the dance following the pep rally and bonfire. The -dance, featuring the Starfires, will be held in the gym from 9 to 12 p.m. Another equally significant aspect of Homecoming Weekend is that of the dormitory and club displays. Those who are erecting displays are asked to provide adequate lighting for the evenings. The displays will be judged Friday night, on the basis of originality, neatness, and appeal, as stated by Darlene Moll and Matt Fliss, the overall co-chairmen of homecoming. ticipate in either or both caravans is advised to see Joni Kirschenbaum, chairman of the car caravans. At 2 p.m., the Colonels will challenge the Delaware Valley " Rams " at football. The half-time ceremonies will include the crowning of the Homecoming Queen, the presentation of gifts to the Homecoming Queen and her court, and the awards presented to the best Homecoming displays and th e best-decorated car. The highlight and culmination of this year's Homecoming weekend will be a semi-formal dinner-dance at the High Point Inn, Mount Pocono, on Saturday, November 6. The buffet will be served at 7 p.m. in the colonial dining hall of the Inn. The thirteen piece Scrantonian orchestra, directed by Gene Dempsey, will begin the dancing activities at 9 p.m. and will continue only to 11 p.m. this year because of the distance of the High Point Inn from the campus. Tickets for the dinner-dance, costing $3 per couple, may be obtained from Millie Gittins in the Bookstore next week; the deadline is Friday, November 5, at 5 p.m. Students purchasing the tickets will also receive a map in - the Editors Zoom To San Francisco by Helen Dugan of this outstanding honor.

This would increase the present number for each class from four to five. "The reasons behind this amendment are twofold," said Cavallini. " First, classes have grown tremendou sly in size since the founding of our constitution, and the present class representation isn't adequate enough . Secondly, the Student Government has increased its duties without increasing its membership. " The amendment to increase the representation must first be approved by the administrative council on November I. If approved, it will go to the Student Council on November 5.

Donald Oenslager, consultant to the firm of Lacy, Atherton , and Davis for the construction of the College's new Center for the Performing Arts , gave the main address at a dinner following the Center's recent dedication . He spoke on the increasing importance of theatre in educational institutions as brought about by the decline of professional theatres of today. The speaker noted that the decline of the professional theatre is due to four things: a lack of new plays from contemporary authors , exorbitant production costs, powerful unions, and tearing down of old theatres. The result of this decline is a trend toward routine , unimaginative, standardized productions. Over the past few years , intellectual theatre has fled to the university and civic stage. Educational theatre has increased greatly in quantity and quality. "The educational theatre building , such as the W ilkes College Center for the Performing Arts , becomes a status symbol of the cultural attainment of the educational institution ." Oenslager said that almost all new university theatres are superior to most professional theatres in relation to physical equipment and comfort. He said, "Many of ( the universities) are building massive structures, which . . . may often prove too large and too complicated for the .. . students to work. I wonder, also, if the elaborate programs do not make educational institutions committed primarily to box office material." He believes that ev ery college and university should be able to indulge in productions in which the students may experiment with their creative ability rather than the production in all departments being primarily the endeav or of the faculty . He praised the dra- matic efforts of the College, "which has always sought to encourage the full participation of students in every phase of theatre productions, not only the acting phase." Oenslager, a New York stage designer and noted lecturer and consultant on theatre and scenic design, was consultant for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D. C. He has designed more than 200 productions for the New York theatre including operas, ballets, musicals, and dramas. As a recipient of the Sacks Fine Arts Traveling Fellowship from Harvard University where he received a degree in fine arts , he traveled abroad to study methods of production and design in the principal theatres of Europe. His studies abroad also include the Far East, the theatre of China, the Kabuki and Noh theatres in Japan, and theatres in lndoChina, Burma, and Indonesia. In 1925, Oenslager was appointed to the school of drama at Yale University. Today he is a professor of scenic design at Yale. Oenslager has been a consultant on the American Pavilion Theatre of the Brussels World's Fair, the Montreal Cultural C e n t e r , the Fort Worth Performing Arts Center , the Philharmonic Hall of the Lincoln Center in New York, and designer of fountains and lighting for the 1964-65 World's Fair in New York. /.ette,- Variety Urged Dear Editor: I am sure that many day students would be willing to pay My stomach goes out to Gas- for a variety in their lunches. tric Revolt.

Featured as guest speaker at the banquet, which began at 6:30 p.m ., was Donald Oenslager, New York stage designer who designed the stage for the new Center. Dedication (Continued from Page 1) Green attained the Pulitzer prize. H e is also well-known for "The Lost Colony." a play depicting the struggle ,md failure of the little colony on Roanoke Island and the mysterious disappearance of the entire settlement. For almost 30 years, since its presentation in 1937, Green 's "Lost Colony" has been performed in an outdoor theatre continuously during the summer months. Following Green"s address, Al Airola, president of Cue and Curtain , expressed for the entire · student body hi s appreciation of the Center and his hope that all may " . . . use this building to its greatest capacities . . . and be inspired to utilize . . . talents to the limits of potential. " M'ss Annette Evans, on behalf of the trustees of the College, presented to Leigh Allen, interior designer of the Center, a certificate of recognition. The audience rose for the singing o f the College Alma Mater, and Dr. Abraham Barras, rabbi of Temple Israel. keeping in mind the purpose of the afternoon ·s ceremony, ended the program with two psalms for the benediction. The invocation was given by Rev. Dr. Jule Ayers of the Firs t Presbyterian Church. Those seated at th e speaker"s table were Dr. Eugene Farley: Al Groh, theatre director; Paul Green, principal speaker at the afternoon ceremonies: Charles 13. Waller, chairman of the College board of trustees; Miss Annette Evans and Mrs. Frank G .

Mul cahy , alumni president; Dr. Abraham Barras, rabbi of Temple Israel; Leig h Allen, designer and decorator of the Center; and James Lacy, architect. Three students from the College represented the stud en t body: Al Airola , president of Cue and Curtain; John Cavallini, Student Government presiden t; and Steve Van D yck, president of the Inter-Dormitory Council. Entertainment was provided by the College Madrigal Singers, under the direction of Richard Chapline. Al Groh ex pressed hi s appreciation for Leig h Allen"s "untiring devotion of effo rt and creative talent " toward the interior decor of the C enter in the form of an original poem . The benediction was given by Rev. Aloysius Galvin, S.J., president of the Universi ty of Scranton . 11111111 IIIIIII II Ill II II I II III III II III II I111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 by David Frey The principal address at Monday·s dedication of the C enter for the Performing Arts was delivered by Paul Green. Green, a playwright who won the Pulitzer Prize in 1927 for his " Abraham 's Bosom, " is also a former professor of philosophy and member of the department of dramatic arts of the University of North Carolina . H e originated and wrote "The Lost Col ony " pageant at Roanoke Island and has begun several historical pageants in Williamsburg, Virginia, and St. Augustine, Florida. In a personal interview before the dedication, Green stated that as in Roanoke, St. Augustine, and Williamsburg, we now, through the facilities of this thea tre , ha ve the capacity to create a shrine of creativity in student writing, composing, sculpturing, and painting. H e felt that the founding of this theatre was vastly more important than the founding o f any church , for through this C enter a dramatic restatement of our culture and its struggles could be told. Green also sa id that he, as a pagan , felt the religion of the future wou ld be " man 's creative expression through art and beauty. " His Struggles In his address , which was titled " Dramatizing Our American Heritage." Green retold some of the struggles which he encountered in his early days in the theatre. He related how he left Broadway to go to one of the first beachheads of American civ ilization Roanoke Island . where the s trug- gles o f the the founders of Am erica first began. He said this was a place where one could recreate on the stage "the devotion and dreams of these early Americans, the story of struggle. .,.. ,} , PAUL GREEN s truggle that coun ts for something." He em phasized this by quoting from the last line of his play "Th e Lost C olony " about this American dream: "Hear us oh hear . .. the dream still li ves. It lives and shall not die ." Noting the paradox of the early American who lived with both the dreams of a great America and with slavery and discrimination , he stated : "It is easy to make a good thing out of a good thing ; but to make good out of evil is the real challenge." He 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Boston Bibliophile Inquires ex pressed th e idea that Americans respond to characters who are trying to portray something that counts, and that with the technological devices available, we have means of interpretation w hich never before existed. He continued by explaining that " from our ancestors ' little toehold and later advancements came forth not only the conquering of the wildern ess but the sta tement of a democratic form of government. And out o f that, and through the Civil War which man ifested and made this democracy, there was a tremendous splurge of th e machine age." Eac h of these three periods together unfolded our dream . Goal of Creativity Green also explained that creativity was the goal to which the new theatre should asp ire and that "while walking the area the night before . .. noticing the quiet, I thought of the area's tremendous history . .. the W elsh singing, the German chanting their hymns , and the Irish and the Italians." H e also referred to th e great local drama of the twelve miners who lost their lives in a cave-in . Stating that we are sitting on our most dramatic material, our cultural heritage, Green urged that this story be told. He concluded with a verse written for the occasion in re ferenc e to the people of the present and those of history . "This is a creative place. this is a shrine .. . and out of it may come creativity."

It was a long afternoon for the Mules as th e Colonels racked up 443 yards to retain their lead in the M.A.C. Northern College Division ratings. Three Wilkes backs broke into the touchdown parade with Ray Lowery scoring twice and Roger Beatty and Doug Forde hitting paydirt once each. Paul Purta added to the scoring tally w ith two field goals and four successfu_' extra point placements. Doug Forde got the Colonels' grid machine moving by returning the opening kickoff 35 yards to the Colonel 40. Beatty, Purta, and Lowery took turns moving the ball to the Mules' 4-yard stripe from where Lowery crashed over for the touchdown. Purta added the extra point on a placement, giving the Colonels a 7-0 lead. A few plays later, the Colonels again took possession of the pigskin. A second sustained drive seemed doomed to failure on the Mules' 40, as Wilkes had a third and thirty situation. A 22 yard aerial from Roshong to Purta kept the attack alive, and three plays later Beatty scored from the I-yard band. Purta again split the uprights , increasing the lead to 14-0. Midway into the second stanza, big gains by Roshong and Purta, capped with a I yard plunge by Lowery, gave th e Colonels their third score. Purta's successful placement gave Wilkes a 21-0 advantage. In the closing minutes of the first half , Brinley Varchol recovered a Mule fumble on th e Muhlenberg 27 yard stripe. A touchdown drive stalled on the 11 , but Purta came in to split the uprights with a 28 yard field goal. In the third quarter, Varchol again showed hi s heroics by snatching a Mule aerial on the Wilkes 44. A few plays later, Doug Forde capped the drive with a 6 yard jaunt to paydirt. Purta's placement was good again, and the Colonels upped their tally to 31 points. Coach Rollie Schmidt took advantage of th e huge lead to empty his bench in the final quarter. Early in th e fourth quarter, Purta's toe again proved supreme by adding a 38 yard fie ld goal to complete the Colonel scoring . Swimming Team Holds Practice by Chuck Petrillo Candidates for the swimming team who missed the meeting after assembly yesterday, should report to coach Ken Young, physical director at the YMCA .

The pool is open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12 noon In the closing minutes of the final quarter, the Mules scored two quick touchdowns. One was a 61 yard pass play, and the other was a short plunge aided by a pass interference penalty. Wilkes led in first downs, 28 to 9. The Colonels completed 3 of 9 passes for 48 yards while Muhlenberg was successful on 8 of 14 for 94 yards. The Colonels defense again sparkled, limiting the Mules to only 99 yards. In individual rushing, Rich Roshong had a profitable day gaining 145 yards on 16 carries for a 9.1 average. Roger Beatty also chewed up the real estate, picking up 94 yards on 20 carries. Lowery had 60 yards for 15 carries and Purta. 53 for 19 carries. Tomorrow the Colonels travel to Huntingdon. Pennsylvania, to meet the Indians of Juniata College.

In the first period of play, the Colonels were unable to score against the Muhlenberg booters, but the Colonels managed many fine shots at the goal. With ten minutes remaining before the halftime, Rich Beck scored on a play Wilkes scoring : Touchdowns from the left wing. This gave the Colonels a I -0 lead over the Mules.

Muhlenberg 0 0 0 12 - 12 Roshong, Harmon Gain Athlete 01 Week Titles Sharing this week 's Beacon laurels is Rich Roshong , a 5' 9", I 65 pound junior education major. Roshong has been outstanding all year in engineering the Wilkes offense. A "T" formation quarterback, Rosh ong is a scrambler and a constan t running threat while he is on the field. In the last two games he has tallied an eye-catching total of 239 yards in 28 carries for an 8.5 average. Although Wilkes mainly employs a running attack, Roshong has show n he also can pass. On separate occasions this season, he has caught the enemy secondary off-guard with his timely and accurate passes. After stepping in as the varsity quarterback this past season, he has shown great improvement , , in all phases of the game. His ball ff handling is now smoother, and this year he shows more confidence in his running . Last Saturday the Colonels traveled to Hoboken where they downed Stevens Institute, 4-0. It was Wilkes' first win over Steve ns in ten years. Joe Kiefer opened up the offensive attack against Stevens by scoring early in the first period after an assist from Jim Kennedy. John Santo put Wilkes ahead , 2-0, with a goal after an assist from Mike Hudick. Twenty seconds later, Kiefer tallied once again in the second quarter to give the Colonels a 3-0 advantage at the halftime. N either team was able to score in the third quarter , but Kiefer scored again in the fourth to give the Colonels the 4-0 win over Stevens. Stevens was unable to penetrate the Wilkes defensive which was sparked by goalie Rick Harmon. Mike Hudick, at left halfback, also played a fine game in keeping the Stevens offensive from penetrating the Colonels territory. The booters' record now stands at 4-4 . Today the Colonels host Wagner College at 3:30 p.m. a t the Wilkes Athletic Field. Roshong is from Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, and was graduated from Souderton Area Joint High School.

"Dramatizing Our American Heritage" is the main address to be given by Paul Green, a playwright, former professor of philosophy and now a member of the department of dramatic arts at the University of North Carolina. Since a large part of the benefits of the new theatre will be received by the students, Alfred Airola, president of Cue and Curtain, will give an expression of student appreciation. The last part of the program will consist of the singing of the Alma Mater by the audience accompanied by the College chorus and concert band . Dr. Abraham D . Barras, Rabbi of Temple Israel. will offer the bened iction. Represen tatives from the Student Government, Inter-Dormitory Council, and Cue and Curtain will usher for the function .

Barry Miller, co-chairman with W a y n e Bloomburg and Norman Kresge has stated hi s concern for last year's lag by the commuting students, and explained that " the problem involved in contacting the day students .. . a situation not present in relation to th e dormitory students . . . was the main factor. " Any students who wish to donate blood on Wednesday, and have not had the opportunity to obtain a registration card, may go directly to the gym with a note of parental consent. �Page 2 WILKES COLLEGE Friday, October 22, 19 BEACON Jette,-, tc t,e {t/itc,- Absence 01 Taste Buds Necessary For Survival DO IT!

Therefore, I will close. Emaciatedly yours, Gastric Revolt Athletics Dear Editor: In your recent editorial on athletic scholarships, you stated that the reason that we are winning more games is that Wfi'. have recruited better players. However it is highly unlikely that a scholarship program to the College. would produce such spectacular results in its first year. There* fore , I think more credit should be given to the coaches and the players, who are the ones really responsible for Wilkes standing at the head of the MAC with a 3 and l record. Premature Optimism Regarding your optimism about the recruiting and schol* arship program, I feel it is a little premature. You have pointed out that no one else will suffer because of this program; for them, the " price is right". But what is the cost to the athlete? You have compared scholarships given to prospective athletes with those given to artists, musicians, and physics majors. When one of the above students spends more time on his major, he is rewarded with better grades. However, when an athlete spends a long busy day on the practice field . he is rewarded with that tired, rundown feeling, which is not at all conducive to studying at night. For the athlete the price might not be right! Athletes' Price Who can see to it that the price is right for the athlete? The coaches are the ones responsible to their players for this. They must realize th?t their charges are here first of all to acquire an education and not to turn Wilkes into another Crimson Tide. It is to the coaches' advantage to see that their athletes survive academically so that they can return to the }lridiron, court, or diamonci in the following years. If the coaches keep this in mind , then , truly, the price will be right for all.

P.. PA~iY. .. , . Dear Editor: Why! I'll tell you why! Because it costs too much . That's one reason why. Another reason why is that it is an inconvenience. According to my latest calculations, it costs $17.50 per semester to park at the college facilities . That's about $10 too much. Furthermore, it is possible to park in a nearby twenty*five*cent-a-dav lot for $18.75 per semester. And if you wish to have a car pool. it is cheaper to park in your nearby friendly parking lot. My computer has not yet calculated the exact figures. Long Trip Since the majority of day students are East*side residents, it is a further inconvenience to travel past the school and over to Kirby Park , then back. It takes the average day student twenty minutes to get to school. The trip across the river will add at least ten minutes to that. What do the students whose extra*curricular activities keep tl1em late do? It's a long walk to Kirby Park. I have no solutions to the problem ; I'm only t e 11 in g ·· why". But I'm sure the College's far-sighted planners can find one. Until they do, I'll park in my nearby, friendly , twenty* five-cents-a-day lot.

Although 96 per cent of the people are Lutheran, the Swedes rarely practice religion. The three or four people who can be found in each church on Sunday are usually the older citizens. Eva confides that "Although some of the people belive in God, most of them are members of a church in name only," ' Tm afra id you would think of u s as being quite conservative, though , when it comes to dancing ," said Eva . The popular dances in Sweden are still the fo x trot and the waltz although th e twist and th e shake is don e on a much small er and less common basis . But even with th e Americans going wild on the danc e floor , Eva says they are much lazi er when it comes to transportation. V ery few students have cars in Sweden but most people have bicycles. The few cars they have are small o nes, not like the huge ones that are so common here. Walking , which seems to have become ex tinct here, is a very popular pas time and is not considered to be a deprivation as it seems to be in the United States. Eva's off-the-cuff wittiness keeps a listener on his toes.

I .. want . my . students ..to develop their own attitudes; and when they make statements on certain subjects, they should not look to me for approval or disapproval." Thomas Mizianty, new member of the biology department, was graduated from the University of Scranton (" That's in Scranton.") with a B.S. degree in biology. He later received his M.S. from the University of D elaw,r(!, which will also grant him his Ph.D. next June. His doctoral thesis is concrned with the study of the rela'.ionship between enzym e activity ( " I know my students know what enzymes are.") and the process of aging in insects, particularly in wasps. Mr. l\.1izia nty feels the purpose of his course, biology 101-102, is to make his students realize the relationsh ip between biology and the events and the attitudes which will influence their lives. "My students will never he scientists, but they should realize the manner in which biology influences their lives. They need to understand how a factual knowledge of biology could shape th eir liv:es, and they s!10uld allow this factual knowledge to enter into the decisions they will make on such controversial topics as birth control. I feel attitudes towards such topics should be modeled not only by religious beliefs, but also by scien tific knowledge." Resides his interest in biology, Mr. Mizianty is also fascinated by music. His record collection comprises examples from the Baroque to the Modern. While he appreciates the merits of each period, he is particularly intrigued by romantic compositions. When asked to name a favorite composer, he chose Tchaikovsky. "He's a lu sh romantic, but I enjoy him anyway - especially the Violin and First Piano Concertos." Among the modern composers, he is not enthused by •· he wo rk of Bartok or Hindemith. However, he does enjoy Aeron Copeland and Leonard Bernstein . THOMAS MIZIANTY His philosophy of teaching requires him to maintain a neutral position on subjects of controversy. He feels his students should accept or reject ideas on their own. "I don't intentionally try to present my opinions He considers Dostoevsky 's The Brothers Karamazov to be one of his favorite books because of the profoundness of its theme. Because reading this novel causes intellectual speculation , which is Mr. Mizianty 's chief educational aim, he is particularly .. glad that the freshm en are reading it.

TWELVE IS A MANY-SPLENDORED THING Today I begin my twelfth year of writing this column in your campus newspaper. These dozen years have passed like a dozen minutes. In fact, I would not believe so much time has gone by except that I have my wife nearby as a handy reference. When I started this column, she was a mere slip of a girl-supple as a willow bough and fair as the morn. Today she is gnarled, lumpy, and given to biting the postman. Still, I count myself lucky. Most of my friends who were married at the same time have wives who chase cars all day. I myself have never had this trouble, and I attribute my good fortune to the fact that I have never struck my wife with my hand. I have always used a folded newspaper, even during the prolonged newspaper strike of 1961 in New York. During this journalless period I had the airmail edition of the Manchester Guardian flown in daily from England. I must admit, however, that it was not entirely satisfactory. The airmail edition of the Guardian is printed on paper so light and flimsy that it makes very little impression when one smacks one's wife. Mine, in fact, thought it was some kind of game and tore several pairs of my trousers. But I digress. For twelve years, I say, I have been writing this column. That is a fact, and here is another: I shave every morning with Personna Stainless Steel Blades. I bring up Personna Stainless Steel Blades because this column is sponsored by the makers of Personna and they are inclined to brood if I omit to mention their products. 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Or.

Personna, always the most rewarding of blades, today offers even an extra reward-a chance to grab yourself a fistful of $100 bills from a $100,000 bowl!

And, by the way, while you're at your friendly Personna dealers, why don't you ask for a can of Burma Shave? It comes in Regular or Menthol; it soaks rings around any other lather, and it's made by the makers of Personna. But I digress. For twelve years, I say, this column has been discussing, forthrightly and fearlessly, such burning campus questions as "Should students be allowed to attend first-hour classes in pajamas?" and "Should deans be retired at age 25?" and "Should foreign exchange students be held for ransom?". Today, continuing the tra<lition, we take up the thorniest academic problem of all: the high cost of tuition. Let me tell you how one student, Lintel Sigafoos by name, solved this problem. Lintel, while still a boy in Straitened Circumstances, Idaho, had his heart set on college, but, alas, he couldn't afford the tuition. He applied for a Regents Scholarship but, alas, his reading speed was not very rapid-only two words an hour-and before he finished even the first page of his exam, the Regents had closed their briefcases crossly and gone home. Lintel then applied for an athletic scholarship, but he had, alas, only a single athletic skill-balancing an ice cream cone on his chin-and this, alas, aroused only fleeting enthusiasm among the coaches. And then he found the answer: he would get a student loan! Of course, he would have to pay it back after graduation, but clever Lintel solved that, too: he kept changing his major, never accumulating enough credits to graduate until he was 65 years old. Then he repaid the loan out of his Social Security. Where there's a will, there's a way. *** © 1965, Max Shulman The makers of Personna®Stainless Steel Blades and Burma Shave®are happy to bring you another season of Max Shulman's uncensored, uninhibited, and unpredictable column.

PORTA AND BECK GAIN BEACON HONORS FOR PERFO·RMANCE Stepping in to share this week 's Beacon "Athlete of the W eek Award " is Paul Purta . Earlier this week Purta was named halfback on the E.C.A .C . weekly AllEast Squad. Purta was extremely outstanding in leading the C olonels to a 34-0 victory over Ursinus. He personally accounted for 15 points, which included three placements. Overall, he amassed 172 yards in 15 carries for an 11.4 average. His second touchdown was one of the longest in the M .A.C. this year , covering a distance of 88 yards. Purta has shown great form in his running all year, being able to fake his intended tacklers to gain extra yardage. His great show of running typifies the ground attack which the Colonels have successfully used this year. Purta is a 6', 195-pound junior elementary educat ion major hailing from Wilkes-Barre. While at Coughlin High School he lettered three times and was named to t~e Unico squad in his senior year. At the College he has earned letters in football in his freshman and sophomore years. Early in the fourth quarter, Mike Connolly returned a punt from his own 40 to the Ursinus 22. A 32-yard Roshong-Skvarla aerial put Wilkes in good scoring opportunity on the 5. Two plays later Roshong circled end for Wilkes fourth talley. Purta added the placement. Late in the same quarter, second string quarterback Joe Fripolli put the final touches on the victory feast by firing a 26 yard scoring pass to Bill Schneider. The Colonels completely dominated the statistical department. Wilkes again had a big day on the ground, grinding out 378 yards and picking up an extra 91 through three pass completions in six tries. Ursinus gained only 56 yards on the ground and 17 through the air on three pass receptions. Purta led the Colonels ground attack with 172 yards in I 5 carries for an 11.4 average. Roshong also had a profitable day in gaining 94 yards in 12 carries for an 8.8 average. The Wilkes defense. led by Al Yatko, Paul Kane and Brinley Varchol. did an outstanding job in holding the Bears to a scoreless game. Tomorrow the Colonels go on the road to meet Muhlenberg College at Allentown.

NORTHAMPTON STREET Phone: 823-9365 Valley. Muhlenberg is a new addition to the Colonels' schedule after a lapse of several years. The Mules concentrate primarily on a passing offense, and coach Ray Whispell promised that the Mules will throw at least 35 passes per game. To prove that Whispell meant what he said, Muhlenberg and quarterback Ron Henry lead the league in passing. It seems, however, that the passes fail to produce touchdowns. Muhlenberg lost the nucleus of its line through graduation . Whispell blames many of the mistakes thus far on the inexperienced line. The Mules are at a further disadvantage this week because of injuries to several key players. Linebacker John Shantz, who is the defensive signal caller, was injured several weeks ago and has not yet fully recovered. According to Whispell, his replacement, John Churchman , is doing an outstanding job. Also lost for a time , because of injuries, are halfbacks Roger Toney and Jim Rau . These two are vital parts of the Mule 's passing game. Their replacements, however, do not deserve to be overlooked. The Mules will have to contend with the Colonels' powerful runnino game, but in turn the Colonels will have to sharpen their passing defense to cope with the Muhlenberg passing attack. The Mules will be anxious to end their losing streak and topple the MAC leader. PAUL PURTA Beck Named This week the Beacon also goes to the soccer team to select Rich Beck, a sophomore psychology major, to share this week 's Athlete of the Week honors. Beck has shown outstanding speed and agility in his performance on the Swi1ni,,,ers To Begin Practice soccer field . He holds down the position of left-wing although he has the ability to shift to any line position. He has developed an outstanding shot from the outside which has aided the Colonels in many tight situations. Beck had been averaging a goal per week until this week. Beck is a graduate of Girard College of Philadelphia. He was a triletterman in his junior and senior years at Girard. He lettered in soccer, wrestling, and baseball. Beck is a 5' IO", 145-pounder from Benezette, Pennsylvania. Last year he was elected to the MAC first team and also received honorable mention for the All-Pennsylvania, New Jersey , and Delaware squad. For their outstanding performances on their respective teams, the Beacon would like to congratulate Paul Purta and Rich Beck. Colonelelles Close With 1-4 Record by Chris Sulat The girls hockey team ended its season last Tuesday with a 9- 1 loss to Muhlenberg College. The Wilkes goal was scored by team captain Marie Persic. It was the first time any team has ~cored against Muhlenberg in two years. Muhlenberg has a strong defensive line and the Colonels had trouble breaking through to reach the ooal. The Wilkes offense showed ~ore speed and teamwork than it had in previous games. Early in the first half, as Muhlenberg scored their first goal, center halfback Donna George suffered a bad leg injury. Graduating sen iors from this year's team are Marie Persic, Betsy Jo Compton , and Carolyn Jenkins. The final log stands at 1-4. Winter Sports Practice for winter sports is slated to begin this week.
