Although no single consensus has been reached, several problems are discussed in the students' responses. Next week, the Beacon will publish an article on the school psychologist, Mrs. Frances Sears, in connection with this survey . Below are students ' reactions to the survey : Jack DeCinti - I don't believe there is only one basic problem which concerns all college students. However, the most prevalent one facing most students is the inability to concentrate on academic subject matter because of preoccupation with social activities or personal problems. Discipline of the mind is necessary - this is what I think is the most important function of college. Al Saidman - Many college students are faced with indecision . Those in the liberal arts program are merely jumping from course to course looking for a field which interests them. Tom Stetz - There are a multitude of problems facing students. As many emotional problems face college students as face the population in general However, one of the biggest is the responsibility which the student takes on. Making the adjustment to college .. the chief 'problem' he would confess would be boredom . life is often difficult because of such factors as stress of courses, choice of profession and whether or not you have actually made the right choice in coming to college. Another big pr,<.>blem is social acceptance because college students are, perhaps, the most socially concious group in the society. Rosemary Baiera - Self-discipline, adjustment and ali enation are important problems of college students. Either a student alienates himself from himself or from society. In each case he encounters a problem. David Frey and Irv Lebowitz - The greatest problem of college students is their fear of being rejected. As a result of this fear, they pretend to be what they are not or " play the role." This leads to another fear - that of exposure. Betsy Dukes - As a day student, I feel that the greatest problem is that of parental domination which leads to insecurity. The dorm student doesn't have this same problem. When you 're living at home, there are distractions such as television, chores at home, outside work which detracts from the time a student should spend on his college work and activities. Claudia Ross - Ever since 1957 educators have been saying that students aren't well prepared in the elementary and high schools. Then colleges expect us to be able to cope with the demands of college life. John Gallagher - There is too much competition in college. Mari Purcell - I feel that the greatest problem for students is the decision of a career and the search for one"s own identity. Barbara Poska - Money is the greatest problem because it is necessary for an education and to repay educational loans. Louise Edwards - In my opinion, the greatest problem for students is the pressure from parents. Cecile R,osen - For the freshman , it is the adjustment period. Once this adjustment is made, being accepted socially while trying to maintain decent grades is the hardest thing to get used to. This is because we have now entered an adult society. Elena Mendel - The basic problem lies in establishing rapport with people who have different interests and background than your own. Joanne Draganchuk - One basic problem of coljege students is learning to adjust to the personality and demands of your professors. Mary Tinner - I think too much emphasis is put on grades. If students were more concerned with how much they LEARN and not their grades, tension wnuld not be as great and good grades would probably follow. Bill Zegarski - Each person desires to seek his place in the world, be it in employment or marriage. Through this they achieve their goals of happiness and security. Noreen Considine More than anything a student looks for security, an unattainable goal. Larry DiGregori - The main problem of college students in our society is a lack of a sense of direction toward a specific goal.

The lower income person can then acquire for himself an education AT a price he can well afford • . . " The above quotation is taken from a recent letter to the editor of the TIMES-LEADER EVENING NEWS. The author, who signed himself "Citizen", said that although the community provides higher education for its members through King's and Wilkes Colleges, their fees and tuition rates are too expensive for "the poor people" of the area who wish to further their learning beyond the high school level. His solution to the problem was the institution of a low-cost state or community college in the valley. Mr. Art Hoover, in answer to "Citizen", wrote a letter to the LEADER. In essence, Mr. Hoover asserted that anybody, regardless of financial position, may obtain a college education if he wants one, particularly at Wilkes. He outlined the College's policies regarding scholarships and loans and student work on campus, emphasizing the fact that the College chooses its aid recipients on a basis of proper motivation and financial need. He concluded his letter, "No qualified student will be denied an opportunity to study at Wilkes College because he lacks the necessary financial resources. With God's help, where there's a will, there's a way." Admittedly, "Citizen" was correct when he said that college is expensive. The current tuition rate here at the College is $900, not including books and extra fees. A semester for a day student at a state institution is considerably less, it is true, but there are several points to consider in Wilkes' favor. If "Citizen" is merely interested in obtaining a college degree for its own sake and not in what he has learned or what meaning the degree has, then where his degree comes from will not be important. It should be. More and more people are becoming college graduates, and employers and graduate schools not only have the opportunity but are almost obligated to be a little more selective when choosing prospective employees and students. They can now ask not only "Do you have a colle~e diploma?" but also "From what school did you graduate?" We shall pass no judgment on the quality of education received at state colleges or in their reputations as "tough" or "easy" schools. We shall say that Wilkes, with its reputation as a "tough" school, is a good school, with high educational standards, and is recognized as such. Ask anyone who has flunked a course here and passed the same course in summer school or at a state college. Wilkes has a teacher-student ratio of approximately one faculty member per eighteen students. We do not know the exact figures of the ratio at the state colleges, but the students are in a decidedly larger proportion there. Our ratio is advantageous because it provides for a more personal student-teacher relationship. The College is in the process of expanding its facilities, making possible even more educational opportunities. Some of our buildings are old, but physical surroundings are not a major factor of learning. So, perhaps four years at Wilkes costs more than four years at, say, Bloomsburg or East Stroudsburg, but considering the advantages outlined, we believe that the extra money is worth spending. Having established its worth. let us consider the sources of this extra money. As Mr. Hoover pointed out and as most Wilkes students know, the opportunities for financial aid are numerous here. This year the College awarded scholarships of almost $130,000 and National Defense Loans of $225,000. The numbers speak for themselves. There are also private scholarship and loan funds which the needy student may turn to. The College offers part-time employment for students; they may work at outside part-time or even full-time jobs; they may work during the summers. The extra work may be taxing, taken along with school activities, but it is not impossible to carry on both, if the student really wants his education. We believe that the Valley does not need a state college. Speaking for Wilkes, we say a good education may be obtained here now, and the problem of finances may be solved if the desire to go to college is great enough. WBAT • WBERE • WHEN T .D.R.

Or can one? Analyze your valentines. When your mate gives you a valentine, be quick to ask him what brought on this sudden extravagant, unnecessary show of affection. Under such a surprise attack he is likely to tell you. He might also try to get around your question by telling you he loves you. But do not accept alibis. There is a controversial method by which one can judge the meaning, inner and outer, of a valentine - any girl who receives a valentine costing anywhere from 25 to 50 cents can feel fairly safe. This type of valentine is the average type given by normal, unassuming, unfinanced boys. It says what the boy feels , yet is concise enough so that the girl does not think he is serious and should have given her more than one cheesy valentine and a "Well, Sweets, here you go." This is the outer interpretation. Bu '. by looking slightly beyond the obvious, one can discover the underlying truth. One will notice that this type of valentine is always prompted by some national or international company. At this point one should start to become skeptical. " Why should he give me such a common valentine?" The answer: because he can very easily buy 20 duplicates to give out to the rest of his 'steadies'. Labor of Love The se.~ond type of valentine is equally deceiving. This valentine was made by the boy with his ,own· little hands. The i_llpsion one gets from this type of valentine is ·that the boy wanted to give you something that was a part of him; but, if that is so, why didn't he just give you one of his sockgarters or the bandaid from the hole in his ear where you bit him last week? The girl does not think of this when she gets such a sweet love offering as her own hand-made valentine with one-side-bigger-than-the-other. Think, girl, think ! When one stops to analyze the situation, it becomes very clear. He has no money . You may say, "That is easy to explain; he spent it all on me." But now it is time to make an itemized account of the money he spent on you in the last two weeks. In those two weeks, he took you out three times. The first time you went to the Manuscript movie; then he took you for a nice walk around the square . .. $.00. The next date you had was on the following night. He invited you to his house because he had caught a cold walking you around the square last night. This of course meant you had to bring him cookies to cheer him up ... minus 79 cents. By the next weekend he was all over his cold and decided to show you the town. Perugino's for supper. A movie in town. The Gaslight afterwards . . . $25.68. Oops, you almost forgot. The most embarrassing thing happened to him. Somewhere between your dorm and Perugino's he lost his wallet .. . minus $25.68. Now that it is clear he did not spend his money on you, the next logical question appears, and you have discovered the true stimulus to his most worthy action. Boomphy? The third type is the one dollar and up plus-a-box-of-candy valentine. The underlying meaning of this type is the most obvious to an outsider, but to the girl who receives it - that's a different story. Her boyfriend is the sweetest, PUREST, greatest thing to walk the earth since God created vicious pumas. After this outer show of undying love for her, how can she possibly question where he was last night when her girllriend saw him with a boomphy brunette while he was supposed to be taking his aged grandmother to the hospital to see the last of her 36 cousins? I ask you - how could she? And once again, after a slight inquisition, the inner obvious is revealed. One knows not whom to trust these days. So girls - when you get that tender valentine Sunday, calmly look him in the eye and say, " Who do you think you are, giving me the same valentine as those other twenty girls?" , " Where'd all your money go?", and "I know who that brunette was! " Then walk out on him. When, or if, he recovers he will think you are either a mystic or a nut, and will dedicate himself to watching you very carefully for the rest of his life. Five to one it will work! Viewpoint '65 Vietnam - Why The Price by Marshall Evans The importance of the actions of all sides in Vietnam is not a triviality by any standard. After a temporary lapse in war activity due to the celebration of the New Year, the Vietnam problem has emerged into the limelight of international focus with ever-increasing stature. At this moment in Vietnam a fuse can easily be ignited which would result in nuclear holocaust and destruction. A fantasy, a dream, or an unreality? Not in the least. The thought of this possibility does not appear at the forefront of one's mind ; nevertheless, it must be considered, and very seriously so, as a possibility. What are the problems? What are the answers? Is Vietnam worth American lives and dollars? These are questions which have continued to be asked since the inception of our agreement to assist the people of Vietnam in their quest for peaceful independence. These are questions which cannot be answered here. However, basic problem areas can and will be presented, the causes of the problems discussed , and the possible solutions mentioned. The major problem in South Vietnam is the government - more precisely, the lack of orderly and stable government. In the past 18 months several coups have taken place, and each has seemed to worsen the situation. The Buddhist monks, the military and the Catholic element have not yet been able to co-exist in or under one government for any length of time. Dille.ring Values There are. $eVeral factors contributing to this problem. The Vietnamese society and its values are quite different from those. that western culture accepts as normal. The Vietnamese oo not have a strong sense. of nationalism, nor do they possess a strong loyalty to a large powerful institution - the national government - which has little direct contact with these people. Thus, the necessary interest is absent. The common people seem to appreciate the American government's participation in their effort to maintain freedom. Most reports of observers on the scene indicate that the contempt which is present originates from the small group of outspoken militant Buddhist monks and their followers. However, we cannot force our values upon the Vietnamese, nor is it .our aim to do so. We are there at the request of the Vietnamese to assist them in maintaining their freedom. We accepted this responsibility and intend to fulfill it. Why accept the responsibility? Vietnam is the key to Southeast Asia, Japan, the Philippines and Australia. The independence of this nation prevents the communists from increasing their geographic expansion and acquisition of strategic contingent bases from which they may conveniently stimulate and originate unrest and subversion to neighboring countries. The recent action of the Viet Cong guerillas in attacking Americans in Pleiku and other bases was rapidly and unquestionably answered by American retaliation, demonstrating again our intent not to ignore direct attacks on Americans. America must continue to answer these attacks by the Viet Cong guerillas with increased power, if necessary, to clearly demonstrate our intent to obtain our objective. No Retreat America cannot retreat into isolation. If we show fear, we encourage further attacks and trespasses on our rights throughout the world and in our own territories by tiese same communist plotters. American forces at present face the decision to attack the supply lines of the Viet Cong in the North or not to expand our action any further. We could also expand t'1e war even further by attacking all of North Vietnam and Red China, but this is not yet a realistic choice. Clearly, action must be taken to deplete the Viet Cong guerillas of their strength. Another course of action appeals to some, including Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield - that is negotiation. But for successful negotiation the U.S. and South Vietnam should have a strong position, something now absent. Perhaps the late President Kennedy 's words can best answer this question of negotiation: "Never let us negotiate out of fear, but never let us fear to negotiate." Victory Unrealistic? Victory - clear-cut and decisive - for either side seems out of the question. Relative victory seems more realistic. Henry Cabot Lodge, former ambassador to Vietnam, was quoted this week as saying we should aim for a stalemate, If a atalemate would enable the people of Vietnam to enjoy freedom freedom from intervention and guerilla attacks - LET US SEEK IT. Under such conditions the major problem - a stable and orderly government - can be solved, which In turn will help solve minor problems. However, if a stalemate means continued efforts of expansion in Vietnam by the communists, then LET US KEEP ON FIGHTING, The price for Vietnam may be too great to pay1 however, the price for the rights of people wishing to be free is not too high. If we retreat from Vietnam we will eventually face the same situation In other parts of the world. We have the responsibility to help the South Vietnamese retain their freedom, and in doing so, blocking communist expans!,on in Southeast Asia - LET US RISE PROUDLY AND FmML Y TO ASSUME OUR RESPONSIBILITY. �Page 3 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, February 12, 1965 FARLEY PRESENTS "STATE REPORTER WRITES DEBATABLE STORY OF THE COLLEGE" MESSAGE ; CURRENT WORTH SI I MILLION by Mary A. Quinn Dr. Eugene S . Farley"s annual report on the development of the College, entitled ""An Emerging College", has recently been published. The report stresses the establishment of a new " foundation upon which to build a more dynamic college, with new opportunities for cultural and intellectual satisfaction ." One of the foremost examples of the expansion of the College is its progressively swelling enrollment. In the first few years of the College's existence, the numb er of students attending did not exceed 350. In 1946, just ten years later, the enrollment jumped above the 1.000 mark. In 1964, there were a total of 1,980 students, ten times the original number. Accompanying the increased enrollment is the great need for a new dormitory , dining hall and library. T'hese projects have an approximate total cost of $3,600,000. Dr. Farley indicated that the attempt to finance such new assets is a challenge to the College, but he reasserts his "confidence in the support of the College"s friends , federal grants and loans." Tangible Assets Equally significant in the 30 year history of the College, as Dr. Farley pointed out, is the chronological progress of its tangible assets, including buildings and equipment, endowment and market value, and special funds, which have been amplified II.> great proportions in the pa-st few years. At the same time, the debts of the College have been ENTIRELY curtailed. Specifically, the value of the buildings and equipment has risen from $21,000 in 1936, to slightly less than $6,000,000, in 1964. The overall economic situation can be seen from the change of MINUS $7,000 in 1936 to approximately $11,500,000 in current assets. In the report, Dr. Farley praised highly advancements in the College's intangible assets, namely, intellectual and spiritual aspects, which he believes to be "the true criteria by which a college should be judged. " Due to a very tight schedule, being a student at the College and holding down a job in order to remain a student here at the College, I was not able to attend the assembly program (show?) this past week. Yet I was assigned to a story about the debate held in assembly. The only way I could do this was to obtain the information from a selected group of students - my friends. . ··•.....................,, __ ,,, Most of "my friends" agreed that the program was a debate. Therefore the first line of my story must be this: A debate was held in assembly last week. ·' Now, the next point I was after was who participated in this debate and what was this debate about. After many different answers from my friends - Answers like " there were four people on each team ," or "no, that was four people altogether,two on each side and two moderators" - I finally deduced the fact that there were four faculty members, two on each team with one moderator, in a lively ··argument" - I'm sorry, I meant to say in a lively " debate" . Therefore the second line of my newsworthy story is: The debate was made possible by the participation of four faculty members, two on each team. Tom Thomsen wanted challenging work Being a good newsman, g1vmg an accurate account of events, I next wanted to know who debated. This presented a problem, for these selected students, my friends - from whom I obtained the information for this story - all by coincidence, I'm sure, happened to sit in the last row of the gym to the far left - in other words, in the corner. My friends, all of whom must be nearsighted, must have been napping or diligently studying for the next period. Anyway, if I listed the four members of this team as given to me by each one of "my friends" the list would number all of the College faculty , including some of the folks from administration. Now how did I get the next line of my story? Being a math major, I did this: I took the four names which occurred the most number of times. Therefore, the next most important line of my story is this: The four faculty members were Dr. William Bliss and Mrs. Ann Kish , making up the affirmative team, and Dr. Harold Cox and Mr. Joseph Kanner, comprising the negative team. Survey . ;.... ::•.v=·• John Wisloski Although sex ;hould not be a major problem of the college student, it is. A vast amount of his conflicts, states of depression, and anxiety which lead to lowered performance in school are associated with sex. Sex is basically a latent biological function that need not be psychologically triggered into action. Students have enough problems without being partially incapacitated by the conflict between the far too many restrictions on sex and importance of fulfilling sexual desires. .··· ~t•:::::~t~t~--• ::::::;:;::,:-:-::;:;:;:;:;:;:_:;:-:-: He found it at Western Electric T. R. Thomsen , B.S.M.E., University of Nebraska, '58, came to Western Electric for several reasons. Important to him was the fact that our young engineers play vital roles right from the start, working on exciting engineering projects in communications including: electronic switching, thin film circuitry, microwave systems and optical masers. Western Electric's wide variety of challenging assignments appealed to Tom, as did the idea of advanced study th ro ugh full -time graduate engineering training, numerous management courses and a company-paid Tuition Refund Plan . Tom knows, too, that we'll need thousands of experienceq engineer~ k,ir §upervisory positions within the next few years, And he's getting the solid experience necessary to qualify. Right now, Western Tom is developing new and improved inspection and process control techniques to reduce manufacturing costs of telephone switching equipment. Tom is sure that Western Electric is the right place for him. What about you? If you set the highest standards for yourself, enjoy a challenge, and have the qualifications we're looking for - we want to talk to you!

That students at the College are neglectful of their obligations? No, indeed not. The only thing I can conclude from this story is that my "selected" friends are not that ··selected." (continued from page 1) be termed , is created by the demand in our society for the student to attend college, whether he wishes to or not. The undergraduate degree has become so important; the preparation towards that degree is so cram-packed and rushed that the student "sleezes" through college, rather than preparing himself for a lifelong journey to knowledge. · . '··-. The big question, the " meat" of my story, the subject of the argument - was my next ordeal to face. The majority of my friends seemed to repeat two words - morals and law. I brilliantly deduced - there "s that word again - that the debate must have had something to do with morals and law. The difficult task was getting the exact words of the statement being debated. One fri end insisted that the argument was stated, "Morals and laws are good." Another said, "The concern of laws are morals," or still another, "Morals are enforced daily." After splicing sentences, rearranging words and punctuation, and correcting grammar, I finally grasped the subject of the debate. This is the next line of my story : The subject of the debate was, "The Enforcement of Morals is a Concern of the Law." Harry Russin - The biggest problem confronting a college student today cannot be placed in one category. Perhaps to some students the problems of money and social acceptance are their biggest worries. But I feel the problem of most students in college is the power of concentration and effective study habits. If the latter problems are solved, one's stay in college will be most rewarding , and the other problems will seem trivial. Ron Czajkowski - The major problem of today's college students is the proper use of time. He mus t utilize his time effectively between the rigors of study and the social functions which he must perform if he is to be a well-rounded and acceptable person. Neither of these can be neglected without doing some harm to the student's personality , Gene Klynott - The major problem of students in college is that they lose contact with reality due to the scholastic environment. They have tendencies towards a form of idealism. Jim Simpi,<:>n - Students don 't see m to care about appearance, actions, or their morality due to the fact that they revolve solely around what they are interested in - their major field. Most intelligent men always seem to lose contact with reality and the rest of the world. All their thoughts and actions center around their particular subject. Patric McG.µ-ty - If a student, in his first or second year, were to seek comfort in a ' psychologist, the chief "problem" he would confess would be boredom. There is a horrible lack of stimulation in a freshman or sophomore curriculum of survey courses. If there is anything beneath this veneer, something to catch the eye, so to speak, the page is turned and we move on t<.> another field. This boredom, a sort of inside-out purification, must be borne to make one worthy of exposure to "better things." There must be some kind of founda tion and, to date, survey courses are the best means of erection. They must be endured, like childbirth, until a better method is found. Marie Shutlock - The major problem , as I see it, seems to be the preservation of one's individuality. I think this idea can be applied specifically to the area of requirements for a course. Many times the teacher seems to overlook individual differences and abilities and fails to analyze the work he assigns in terms of the benefits it may have for his students. Ann Marie Micklo - One of our major problems is related to the lack of the human factor in teacher-student relationships. Students tend to become " machines" in the eyes of many teach ers. Pat Latona - I think that the tension placed on students is tremendous due to the additional work which teachers are demanding from them . Not only the complexity of the material, but also the amount of it adds to the number and degree of today 's college students· problems. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 4 Colonel Mermen Succumb 66-29 At Millersville Standout Grapplers Extend Win Skein; Basketball Mike Sharok Named Mans lie Id, Millersville Bow 'Athlete of the Week' Carr Adds Power Last Saturday the Wilkes swimmers traveled to Millersville where the Marauders overpowered the Colonel mermen 66-29.

Her princesses are Marie Persic, a residen t of Sturdevant Hall majoring in psychology, and Lois Petroski, a mathematics major from Ashley. Miss Alfaro was c~owned by former queen Cathy DeAngelis during the intermission of the evening dance held at the Buckhill Falls Inn. She was presented with a dozen long-stemmed roses and a gold pin engraved with her initials. The princesses received silver pins similar to the queen's. Along with the scheduled activities, the cold, supny weather attracted a record crowd of almost 300 students and guests. T~e· snow-covered ground was glazed with ice until the evening, when a fresh snowfall blanketed the area. During the day, the weather, which was perfect for skating, drew a large crowd on the rink. The skiers and sledders were not so fortunate, however; they had to be careful to avoid the steeper slopes because of the hazards involved with the icy conditions. In spite of the potential danger, however, only one major accident, a broken ankle, was reported. After dinner in the main dining room of the Inn, the students watched television in the lounge, played pool or parlor games, or danced to the music of the Carlyles. Miss Alfaro's activities include chairman of the Student Activities Committee, junior counselor for Associated Women Students, president of Slocum Hall, and the President's Student Advisory Committee. Miss Persic is president of Sturdevant Hall , junior counselor for A WS, a member of the Assem bly Committee, the President's Student Advisory Committee, and the girls' hockey team . Miss Petroski is treasurer of the junior class, is a member of the Education Club, served on the Homecoming and Junior-Senior Dinner Dance Committees, and was on the Dean's List three times.

This debate took place during yesterday's assembly and was moderated by Ephraim Frankel, president of the Debating Society, which sponsored the program. The debate featured Dr. William Bliss and Mrs. Ann Kish for the affirmative, and Dr. Harold Cox and Mr. Joseph Kanner for the negative. The Society 's purpose in sponsoring the assembly was to generate more student interest in debating itself. A vocal and ballot vote was taken at the assembly to gauge the general opinion of the student body on the topic. A scene of South Seas islands projected on the walls will lend the proper atmosphere for the theme, "Polynesian Paradise··. The profuse use of orchids will further depict the lavish and the exotic. A primitive bridge extended over a pool of orchids will be placed in the center of the ballroom. Orchid centerpieces will decorate each table.

Witness the new semester. Almost every student promises to study nightly, to hand in assignments on time, to be prepared for every class. Each new beginning carries with it suspense. One wonders how long it takes the suspense to mellow into ordinary routine. Some beginnings are never given the opportunity to reach this final stage; at times we should be happy that it does not. For example, if the "dormie demonstration" concerning cafeteria food becomes routine, either the dormies must go, or the food. We hope it is the food. At times, a revolution is the only way to accomplish some required reformation. We neither condemn nor applaud the dorm students' action - actually the riot itself was predictable if the causes leading up to it were carefully considered. In our years spent at the College, we have heard very few complimentary remarks concerning the food. If mentioned at all, the food was spoken of in a derogatory manner. We likewise realize that it is difficult to please a large number of students in a situation allowing for little, if any, originality or selectivity. One cannot please all the people all the time. However, complaints should be taken into consideration. By the same token, "demonstrations" should also be considered, if not more so. Those in charge of the cafeteria have agreed to "look into the matter". We hope they are doing more than relying on the psychological effect of that statement and actually act. May we also suggest offering a varied menu to the day students? Bread and fish may have sustained the early Christians, but manna was also on the menu. In the beginning of last semester, turkey and roast beef sandwiches were sold; alas, this did not become routine. While in the mood of offering suggestions, may we further note that the removal of the cigarette machine from Chase Hall has likewise accomplished little with the possible exception of aiding the development of sturdy legs for the walk to the YMCA, the JCC, or the nearest drug store. If it was hoped that the students would drop the sometimes offensive act of smoking, then why not follow the action through to its logical conclusion and remove the ashtrays from the cafeteria? If we are to begin at the beginning we must continue through the middle and finish - at the end. by Sam Baccanari According to the traditional conception of democracy, governmental policies are enacted into law after a majority of the public has made known its interests and desires. In the pure version of this system, as is still practiced in some New England towns, the citizenry directly govern themselves by assembling periodically in town halls to initiate, approve, or disapprove various legislative proposals which will become law. Nationally, in the American system, there is in operation a common, modified version of this plan, representative democracy, in which the people possess the power of ultimate control over government officials whom they elect to and may remove from office at periodic and free elections in numerous districts. But majority rule is an idealized notion of democracy, and its mechanical operation rarely occurs in actual practice. For the most part, the makers of public policy, along with their goals and ideologies, are unrecognized by the American public. Governmental decision-making is not the simple Congressional voting process whereby public officials should stand uncompromisingly for what is right regardless of the consequences. In practice, the American governmental system is one in which many groups struggle to control or inffuence government so that laws and actions will favor their own interests. Operatipg along the sidelines of the formal governmental organization, the pressure groups or lobbyi~ts inBuence administrators and legislators, who are dependent upon them for their election, to enact specific proposals. Representing various segments of society, whether business, labor, agriculture, Negroes, the military, or the civil service, the major interest groups conduct a bartering process in the political marketplace which results in an exchange of support between themselves and the government representatives. Found in the middle of these confficting forces, the governmental officials try to harmonize the various interests through compromise or dealing, to be more explicit. Ultimately, however, one or two groups win out amon_g _all the others, and legislation is enacted and governmental actions are performed with their best interests in mind. When this occurs, over and above the over-all interests of the rest of the populace, we have what is known as minority rule. Majority Safest Guardians 1 The traditional concept of American National Government has been to place faith in the majority who rule as the safest guardians of both the public good and private rights. But what the hell is sacred about SO per cent plus one? After all, there are few things as democratic as a lynching mob, where everybody is satis&ed except a small, insignificant minority of one. There is no particular logic in numbers that give a majority the right to impose a decision on a minority. Majority rule is not a logically correct principle when, if unrestrained, it leads to majority tyranny. There is nothing unusual about minority inffuence on government policies. American government has been basically government by the few. This is evidenced in the low turnout at elections when, in most elections, about one half of the eligible voters show up at the polls. Even within interest groups themselves there is minority inffuence because most of the members are passive, leaving actual control of the group in the hands of a few leaders. The Senate itself provides a prime example of minority inffuence on government. For example, Senators from the eight largest states, which possess 54 per cent of the voters, have the same number of Senate votes as 3 1~ those from the eight smallest states, which possess less than 3 per cent of the voters, and a majority can be created by a coalition of Senators who represent less than 15 per cent of the voters. Public policy in the United States today functions upon a system of " minority consensus." There is in operation a political, collective bar'" gaining system of negotiation and compromise through which the various C "_:"'---::,"""-...:..;,;::, groups in society peacefully make 5 known their interests rather than hav""-T ing one group, even if it is a majority, completely dominate the whole of society in a tyrannical fashion. But the Embers Glow On A flame burns out. Royalty breaks tradition. A world weeps. The flame, of course, was Winston Spencer Churchill - once the torch who seared the dreams of a hated tyrant. A soldierturned-statesman whose brilliant oratory stirred a nation to limitless bravery when all seemed lost. Beloved of millions his friends count among the high and low, soldiers and civilians, statesmen and royalty. The queen - Elizabeth Regina declared a state funeral for a hero. Made an unprecedented visit to the saviour of her kingdom as he lay in state. Sent a wreath - from a grateful nation. The world the people thrilled to great heights by his valor. Two presidents, comrades-in-arms, one in quiet sadness, the other publicly bidding farewell. A world weeps. Royalty breaks tradition. A flame burns. out, but its embers glow on. ----------------· WHAT• WHERE• WBEN BASKETBALL - Harpur - Home - tonight, 8:15 p.m. FACULTY SEMINAR - Dr. Rosenberg - Faculty Lounge.

Doris Marie Woody '66 Forum Restored; Cheifetz Commands by Helen Dugan The Forum of last year has survived and improved through a complete restoration movement. This movement was initiated by the current president, Phil Cheifetz. Cheifetz, with his radical innovations, has drastically improved the overall quality of the club. Stanley Gutin, Forum faculty advisor, and the club's basic purpose to provide an opportunity for students to express their ideas on any matters of general intellectual interest - are the only remaining evidences of last year's club. "The success of the club," as Cheifetz points out, "depends on the members." This is verified by com• bining the statistics of a membership almost double that of last year, and by the higher quality in general of this year's papers. Cheifetz believes it is evident that the research done on these papers is equivalent to that done on a term paper. The new vitality of this year's club can also be attributed to 'young blood'. The club is almost entirely composed of new members. The Forum meetings have been changed from Tuesday night to every other Wednesday night at 8 p.m. in Chapman Hall. The dates run February 3, 17, etc. By having the club meet only every other week, it enables the students to attend the College Coffee House at St. Stephen's Church on the alternate Wednesdays. Membership to the club is obtained merely by presenting a paper at one of its meetings. The presentation must be between thirty minutes and an hour in length. Following this is a discussion of approximately forty-five minutes, after which coffee and doughnuts are served. The Forum, originally started for English majors, is today attended by students from many fields. "The members are of a more diversified group, and with diversity come new ideas," stated Cheifetz.

Some future papers will discuss Heinrich Heine and Kahlil Gibran. Dear Editor, We would like to express our appreciation 1t<> all those who made January 29th an unforgettable date for us. We also wish to commend Jack Brooks and Jack Barnes (cochairmen of Winter Carnival), Cathy DeAngelis and Student Government for working so hard to give all the students at Wilkes a tremendous day at Buckhill. We also wish to congratulate the athletes whose winning action on Saturday evening brought perfection to the weekend. Sincerely. Dianne Alfaro Lois Petroski Marie Persic Debt of Gratitude paid in Thanks Dear Editor: Last week the annual Winter Carnival was held at Buckhill Falls. Almost 300 students participated in a cold wintry day of skiing, sledding, and skating. As chairmen of this year's Winter Carnival, we wish to express a sincere "thank you" to all the students whose individual participation insured the success of the day 's activities. A special debt of gratitude is extended to the Student Activities Committee for their help in publicity, to the Beacon, and to the faculty members who consented to chaperone at the event. To all those people, "thank you" again for making the 1965 Winter Carnival so successful. Sincerely, Jack Barnes and Jack Brooks Chairmen �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, February 5, 1965 Page 3 Rizzo Wonders Aimlessly Through Wasteland . . . and so, Dr. Rizzo, you feel that Tiny Alice reveals a movement toward shocked despair in Broadway theatre? Not at all . I am saying that when Edward Albee can subordinate the Pieta and the posture of the Crucifixion, we, as an audience, have become too jaded. As a television audience we are an even more shocking example of insensitivity. THE UNTOUCHABLES are the ones who can stand by inert while a sick man takes an hour and a half to kill a New York secretary. The twenty-year old today can say, '1've seen it all." And he has, but he hasn't done anything. How long can this dissociation ( association w i t h o u t participation) go on? We 'll survive television, but nothing will ever be the same. The naive excitement of walking two blocks to a theatre to see Myrna Loy and William Powell is gone. The Thin Man is now at our fingertips , and the television set reduces the need for exertion. It is always there. We are in teracting with something that is not· human. The television set has replaced the co:l'ecsp'>On a'l a means with which to measure out our lives. The Fugitive is the Odyssey without any of the adventure. The theme of a wanderer searching for home (or freedom from guilt, or redemption) is a common enough one, but on television it has come across as too contrived. Penelope is killed by a onearmed man and Odysseus sets out with no destination, or plan. Television panders to the dominant lusts and fugitive desires of pe~sons caught in a reverie condition _,better left unstimulated. But the medium has found a level on which it can feed for an indefinite future , for it has become a diversion of the masses with their depravity of taste. But since no one with authority prescribes laws for television, we have allowed it to meet the level of our depravity. Since television's raison d'etre is to sell products, then its primary desire is to please. It functi,o ns to prattle about or divert, but never to challenge or require. It offers nothing which sticks to the ribs of thought. I don't think that because we are potential buyers of things that our low tastes sh,,>uld be sovereign over national expressions directed at us. TV's Pl;'}gress Condensed The great disappointment of television is the tremendous gap between the promise and the performance. Television's potential is overwhelming since it makes available to the man who delivers ice to taprooms and who lives on a side street in a poverty-str.icken town a diversion with which to completely fill his spare time. The television set is one of the greatest things that has happened to this iceman. He is able to watch a moon rocket launched or see the last scene of the Churchill story. Radio never became the part of man 's life that television has become because it is auditory and does not demand unhampered attention as the visual does. It shocks the mind for a moment to think that all the best that has ev er been written could be shown on television in one week. But no one would watch it. Instead, television chews up literature, it chews up everything and presents it in visual form . How much more will the beast put into his paw, digest, and eliminate as waste material. how much indeed. Cut this is the product which the viewer wants. To say it is pap is to be kind. I am concerned about the over-whelming number of objects that get his attention and are enacted before the eyes of others. They were never believed worthy of expression before. I fear wliat will get the viewer's attention tomorrow. Today he sees the miracle •of the elimination of a goiter from a woman 's neck by the laying on of hands. He can be made to see this with his own eyes. He accepts, he does not criticize. The boundaries of credulity have been stretched too far. The extension of reality has passed through the twilight zone, beyond the outer limits, into a ghoulish realm of monster families and bewitched wives. Indifference to Violence This hammering away at the viewer's discrimination has rendered him insensitive. Visually depicted violence no longer dumbfounds but is met with a slack-jawed paralysis which has carried over to reality. The same people who sit like frogslegs to be galvanized by LAWBREAKER or The Beverly Hillbillies has become quickly old-hat. It worries me that we are so soon bored. One of the worst offerings is College Bowl because it reflects the fac tual veneer over our lack of desire for true knowledge. News in depth is not deep; it is merely a summary of past newscasts. We are a nation of slackjawed oglers, skimming over the surface of truth without bothering to dive into background and detail. "A bomb thrown into a hotel? Just tell me how many were killed."

Summer Institute in Biology for secondary school teachers will be held at the College this year according to President Eugene Farley. This program, the first of its kind to be conducted in northeastern Pennsylvania, has been made possible by a $43,680 grant from the National Science Foundation. The purpose of the Institute is t.o strengthen the teacher's background in b:ology by exposing him to the most modern concepts in biol~. The teacher will then be better :able to prepare his students to meet the demands of college programs in biology. In addition, it is hoped that the program will encourage the teacher to continue study towards an advanced degree, and that it will enable him to gather and exchange information concem'ng curriculum development, new tea-:hing aids, and science projects. The seven week program will consist of lectures, discussion-recitation, laboratory work, and field trips. From 800 to 1000 persons are expected to apply; a special committee will select approximately 40 participants. Dr. Francis Michelini. professor of biology and dean of academic affairs, will serve as director of the Institute. D r.

STREET FLOOR �Friday, February 5, 1965 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 5 Wilkes Cagers Becord Initial Victory Over Madison-rDV 61-60 LINE UP by Clark Line by Ivor Smith Once upon a time-and not a very long time ago-I aired my feelings in this column regarding the plight of our football team. A second reading of that article and a conversation with Coach John Reese prompted me to comment further on the fortunes of not only our football situation-which is actually symbolic of our entire athletic situation in one way or another-but on the scheme of things in other intercollegiate sports at the College as well. In the column referred to above, I listed four possible reasons for the poor showing of our football squad. However, one more reason has recently cropped up. It is time that the athletes on the field, so to speak, are responsible for victory or defeat. Yet I feel very strongly about the fickleness of sports fans, which leads us nearer to the point of this article. The point is that any team cannot be expected to produce without some ultimate reward in sight, for motivation is surely important in accomplishing tasks, whether athletic or academic. Now, rewards take many forms. Let me elucidate. A reward may be money (as in the case of professional athletes), a sense of personal accomplishments, due to a kind of exhibitionism, or maybe a desire to bring honor to one's alma mater. rm sure more rewards may come to mind, but let me dwell a moment upon the final one above, namely, the desire to bring honor to one's alma mater. Suppose a college athlete, who spends valuable time practicing every evening, receives no apprciation for his efforts from his fellows. What motivation, then, will he have for putting more effort into his athletic endeavors? If he is not looking for a professional career, seeking personal gratification, and is not an exhibitionist, what may be his only gratification is not available to him in an apathetic campus. And now, I am forced to use a word which has become a bit repetitious. However, it is necessary. There was a time when students carried drums and noise - makers to the athletic events to cheer for the various teams, but such is no longer the case. I wonder why the cheerleaders, to whom much credit is due, even bother, and I could go on from here, but the word apathy is ringing in my ears. I'll be the first •l ~ admit to my emotional lapses, but it seems that any blame for a poor team showing does not rest entirely on the team members or the coach. The motivation which the rooting section does or does not provide is an important factor. I agree that it is difficult to cheer for losing teams, but what can be the damage? I was stimulated to write this sequence after a conversation with Mr. Reese. In closing I should like to carry forth his request that the students participate to a greater extent in the athletic events. A significant advance on this problem would be better attendance at the games and meets, and while you're there, why not shout a few words in your team's behalf. •••••••••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••••••••••• Look Your Be6t . . . . .

Market St . Wilkes-Barre The Wilkes College basketball team has hit the win column by narrowly defeating the Madison campus of Farleigh-Dickinson University 61-60. However, the Colonels have added three more defeats to their record since the last edition of the Beacon. Preceding final examinations, the Colonels were defeated by the ' Scranton Royals and Delaware V~li~y 7555 and 84-69, respectively. In the Scranton game the Royals got off to a good start in the first half and had a comfortable lead at the half. The Colonels failed to improve their standing in the second half as Scranton's Jim Dooley led the Royals to an easy victory. Dale Nicholson matched Dooley 's 20 points as high man for Wilkes, while Jim Smith totaled 17 counters. The Royals have their sights on the MAC championship. Delaware Valley was leading 38-28 at halftime, and once more the Colonels were unable to overcome the deficit. Smith was high for Wilkes with 20 points, aided by Dale Nicholson and Jim Antoni with 16 and 15 points, respectively. With final examinations over, the C o 1 on e 1 s gained momentum and squeezed their first victory out of ten winless outings. The contest was decided in the last moments of the game at Madison-F.D.U. was leading 5'6-55 with a minute and a half rem<1jt1ing. Joe Chanecka, of Wilkes, was fouled and subsequently sank two free throws, placing the Colonels in the lead 56-57. But as Madison regained the lead on a goal, Wilkes countered with a two-point foul conversion by Dale Nicholson with 15 seconds and Wilkes spirits rose only to be dampened once again as Madison's Bill Dale Nicholson lets fly with a long one Wickes scored from the outside. Swiftly putting the ball back into play, Wilkes drove down the court with Nicholson taking a pass at the foul line and laying up the winning goal. Mike Sharok was high for Wilkes with 15 roints, while Nicholson and Chanecka also hit double figures. Wickes was high for the game with 18 points. in a one sided game 114-88. This is the I Ith loss for the Colonels in 12 encounters. The game produced high individual scores as East Sttoudsburg had 6 men reaching double figures, with Ed Marchalonis high at 24 points. Nicholson was over-all high man with 28 and Mike Sharok hit for 22 counters.

Heesch is a native of Niagara Falls, New York, where he began his swimming career at Lewistown-Porter High School as a four-year varsity swimmer. In competition with swimmers from his area, he won first place in the 400-yard freestyle event, while managing to find time for other extracurricular activities such as serving as president of his junior class. Hersch i~ a liber:,) arts major, holds a badge in Senior Life Saving and enjoys playing tennis. He has remarked that his success as a swimmer centers around his strong flutter kick and smooth arm stroke. As a freshman swimmer, Heesch gained praise from both Ken Young, team coach, and Jack Barnes, the squad's captain. This season has proven no different for Heesch as far as his swimming Harry Heesch capabilities are concerned. Heesch took firsts in the 50-yard and 100yard against Philadelphia Textile but yard freestyle (25 seconds) and the was bested by W esternelt of East JOO-yard freestyle (56 seconds) Stroudsburg in the same two events. against Textile.

Both games are scheduled for 8: 15 p.m. On Wednesday the Colonels travel to Lycoming where they will vie with the Warriors. Harpur is sure to feel the loss of high scorer Barry Sch~eider, but the Colonels will have to stop returners Mike Freedus, Steve Davis, and Bill Matros. Subsequent to the Rutgers game, Wilkes will find a much improved Lycoming squad, led by co-captains Irv ost and Ron Travis and coached by " Dutch " Burch . Lycoming is a young squad without a senior on the team. Two freshmen of note are George Young and Dave Pearson. Young typifies the Warriors· lack of height at only 5' 9" , but has tremendous ability. Pearson is the tallest man on the squad at 6' 4" and moves his 205 pound frame quite well. •••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• COLLEGE Charms - Rings Brooches Miniature Rings and Charm Bracelets FRANK CLARK JEWELER ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 6 Friday, February 5, 1965 Swimmers Win Isl; Away Tomorrow Wilkes Downs Textile; Lose 48 - 47 Thriller To East Stroudsburg Millersville Hosts Colonel Mermen In Afternoon Swim Meet On Wednesday, January 13, the Wilkes swimmers traveled to the newly-built Roxboro YMCA and defeated the Philadelphia Textile mermen 55-40.

The meet began with a fiery start as the Wilkes 400-yard medley team of Petrillo, Roger Rolfe, Bill Webb and Ken Wiswall won their event with a new school record time of 4:59.3. For the next six events, the Stroudsburg swimmers secured the fi rs '. places closely followed by the Wilkesmen who captured the second and third place points. Then the Wilkes swimmers broke into the first place column when Petrillo and Carsman won their respective events. In the next to the last event. Wilkes again took second and third places. At this point the score stood at 47-41 in favor of Wilkes. However, East Stroudsburg was able to sr~atch the 400-yard free style relay, worth 7 points, and win the meet. Freshmen Aid Although the swimmers retain their perennial rool and schedule handica ps, compounded by personnel problems this year. they are expected to at least equal last year"s 3-5 record. While the te am's sevPn returning lettermen are the main pillars. freshmen such as Vc-rn Bittier, Rich Herrmann . Jim Lalley, Ed Lenahan, Armand Mascioli, Jim Perino and Wayne \Vesley have been a continuing source of strennth and needed depth and are expected to prcvide the resources for the swim team 's future growth. Jack Barnes and Bill Vanderburg get flying sta1t The Warriors are led by co-captains Dee Shultze and Ralph Kaye, along with Wilson Bradley. The only weak spot on the team appears to be the diving, according to reports from Lycoming.

McGinley is a former Kiags'.on High School wrest1:ng star and is the only senior on the team. In th e last meeting between the teams, Wilkes came out as top 19-9. Despite the score, however, the Colonels had to come from behind to cop the victory.

After losing the initial meet to Ithaca, the Wilkes grapplers have come on strong winning their last f three meets in a row, two o which were shutouts, and bringing their season standing to three wins and loss (the Hofstra meet, which cancelled and the Mansfield meet on Wednesday are, of course, included in this tally).

One of the three will be crowned by reigning queen Cathy DeAngelis at the dance in the Inn that evening. by Vicki Tatz Representatives from the Economics Chili and the Women's Chorus were present at the Student Government meeting last Monday night. The inconsistency between the prices of tickets sold before and at the dance on December 4 was discussed. Such a procedure is against the policy of Student Govern• ment, which requires all organizations to submit an activity form for approval. Once a form is approved all the information contained on it, including the admission price, must be adhered to. Both .the Economics Club and Student Government emphasized that the Club's intention was not to take advantage of students, but that the discrepancy was due to an oversight. Since the Economics Club had assumed responsibility for the activity form, it was fined five dollars. Thursday, January 7, a meeting was held to discuss the formation of a Day-Student Council. The eleven students who attended are planning to hold another meeting in Stark 116 on Saturday, January 30, at 2 p.m. All those students who are interested are invited to attend. Graduate Returns To Entertain Student Body In Assembly At a recent assembly Thomas Hrynkiw, pianist, was featured .

A graduate of the College in 1963, Hrynkiw was awarded a scholarship by the Manhattan School of Music. There he was chosen by Dr. Hugh Ross as the pianist for the professional chorus, Scola Cantorum, and toured with this organization during his first semester. He has studied under Robert Goldsand and is presently in the master class of Dora Soslawski. While at the College Hrynkiw was a student of Anne Liva.

Just as in other areas of endeavor, it is cooperation that determines its fate from the conception. Our golf team is certainly not an exception, for without the cooperation of the members at the lrem Temple Country Club, it would be without a home course. Mr. Welton Farrar, coach of the golf team, informed us that this is the. tenth year that the College has received per, mission t(\ use the lrem Temple Country Club for meets and practice s~ssions. Dr. J. B. Marshall, Greens Chairman at the Country ;Club, along with other members, has not only been generous ' in making the course available to the team, but is· also interested and ~oncerned with its progress. In 1961 the Country Club was the site for the MAC Tourn, ament, in which 23 colleges and 100 golfers participated. Those participating considered it the finest course on which the T ourn, ament had ever been held. The courtesy of club members in turning over their course at that time and in aiding tournament play made both the College and community appear in a most favorable light. Perhaps one of the reasons the College has been fortunate in having the use of the course is that the team members in the past have always been praised for the respect they have for facilities made available to them. Their conduct should set a standard for each of us, because it shows that manly decorum not only makes for better sportsmanship, but also strengthens favorable co~unity relations. J.J.K.

Freshman Selected Miss January by Vicki Tatz As a result of recent occurrences on campus, Student Government has adopted a series of new policies governing student activities. A copy of these changes will be sent to all organization presidents. The policies are as follows: : ( 1) All recognized organizations muiit maintain an account with the College Finance Office, and all financial matters must be handled through this Office. For purposes of comparison and general information, organizations should submit to the Director of Student Activities and Student Government a simplified statement of expenses and income one week after an event and any specific suggestions for improvement of a similar event in the future. (2) For any organization that is granted a date on the college calendar and contracts to use the services of a band or performer(s) , a written con• tract is required. Further, a copy of that contract must be flied with the Director of Student Activities two weeks prior to the scheduled event. (3) A definite policy should be established relative to the procedures and practices to be followed when two organizations sponsor jointly an approved activity prior to that activity; i.e., a standard 50-50 distribution of work, profits, losses, etc. ( 4) All rules included on the activity regulaBright-eyed Irene Norkaitis has been chosen Miss January by the Photo tion sheet will be dealt with under Club.

Mr. DeArment explained that the watch was his grandfather's, and holds a great deal of sentimental value. Lighter moments in his classes, when not discussing Anna Karenina, may be spent disputing the possibility of perfect love, sometimes with the benefit of Mr. DeArment's bedside literature. Ghengis Khan of English Department Sometimes Uses Bedside Literature High School Student Likes College Dances Dear Editors: WIikes College Friday, January 15, 1965 I read in Wilkes College's paper, the Beacon, a couple of weeks ago, where you (A.P.) were mad because high school students came to a Wilkes College dance. Yet the sophomore class president (Ed. P .) advertises a college dance to my friends (high school students as I am. H_e ,did a good job too) . Many of us high school kids came. Mr. DeArment's classes are always pervaded by his dry wit, as certified by his students. He does not, however, limit this wit to his class discussions. Corrected themes often display his unlimited irony. One such theme, a descriptive essay, spoke of a 'friendly' lane with multicolored trees. Mr. DeArment questioned the author of the theme, "Oh, and did the trees say hello?" Whereupon the corrected theme was returned with the answer, "No, their mothers taught them not to I am confused. What is your policy? Does Wilkes College say one thing and do another? speak to strangers." I think that it is time you be honest with yourselves. We high schoolers enjoy your dances, and your organiza. tions ( classes, clubs, Student Government, etc.) want our money. It is time you got rid of any rule which keeps us high schoolers from your dances. Either that or it is time for you to enforce your own rules. W . Smith Warren DeArment Mr. DeArment was born in Burnham, Pennsylvania, near Lewistown. He served two years in the army, where he attained the rank of first lieutenant, the position he now holds in the reserves. During his service he was active in counterintelligence. He and his wife, who was his hometown sweetheart, now reside in Wilkes-Barre with their four-year old daughter. Their home is conveniently located near the College. In spite of his many obligations: family, army, teaching and dissertation, Mr. DeArment finds time to listen to his favorite types of music, swing and progressive jazz. �Friday, January 15, 1965 Page J WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Rose Bowl Concluded; Grapplers Cop 2nd Win Colonel Hopes of Rose Bowl Cagers Continue Losing Season; Champion End as Carr Loses ~::~: s!:~; •r.: ~;~~:~~!~n:!~:;.c}~:::~}i~~-~!~!!.~ Grapp~ers Hand Post 1 0 The Wilkes matmen defeated C.

The nomination and the certificate of recognition given by the national organization honor students for their outstanding contributions to the College and to themselves. By maintaining at least a "2" average, these leaders of the class of '65 exhibit their awareness of the primary purpose of attending college. These students also gain important employment contacts through their nomination. The organization sponsoring the publication maintains a student placement service through which the student can receive recommendations in the future on the basis of the biographical information with which they supply the service. In order to list only the exceptional students in their publication, the organization sets a quota for each school on its total enrollment. In the Fall, each department receives a request for nominees for Who's Who. On the basis of their knowledge of the students, the teachers suggest several names. These names are then sent to Dean Ralston who heads a group of seven administration and department head members. This group narrows the list and makes the final decision on the nominees of the College. -1. Student Governmenl officers met recently with representatives of the Economics Club and Women's Chorus to discuss several complaints, which had been issued by the students, concerning the dance which the clubs had co-sponsored. Miss DeAngelis asked the club representatives to explain their irregular actions, which, while not violating the Student Government rules, appeared to be less than the correct form of action. These complaints were answered and clarified by the persons responsible for the slight improperieties, to the satisfaction of those present.

Picking up the old meerschaum carefully, he emptied and then refilled it, placed it in his mouth, lit it, and puffed away contentedly as the fragrant smoke filled the air. "Have to tell you about old Rudolph , though," he said, picking up his story. "We don't really need him anymore for guiding the sleigh. We've had headlights installed on it. Much better for tricky landings on those slippery rooftops. We keep Rudolph for two reasons - tradition's sake and as a warning light for low-Hying airplanes.

"Sometimes I'm embarrassed to think that some of those skinny little fellows are trying to pass as me. At least we could teach 'em how to stuff the suits right." "We're also thinking of branching out into decorations. You know, wreaths, jingle bells, things like that." In the distant future, Santa would like to " really go big and consolidate with the Easter Bunny and the Great Pumpkin. Might as well go all the way, y'know." "Yes, being Santa Claus is like being a big business executive these days, and sometimes I get weary of it. But come Christmas Eve, and it's all worth it, just thinking of all those happy kids."

In last week's editorial, I (because Miss DeAngelis' letter is directed personally to me, I shall drop the editorial "we" and continue in the same "personal" vein) was neither feigning ig, norance noF capitalizing on the "power" of mr position. Of course I had received answers to some queries made in per, sonal interviews - I don't claim to be charismatic or to have A PRIORI knowledge about such affairs. My duty was then to present the complete situation as I had it given to me to the student body because I did not feel that the answers received in private contacts were exactly satisfactory. It is the prime concern of every reporter to present first what information he has received to the public. It is the prime concern of every editorialist to study this information and then to judge it. I feel that I have accomplished these two tasks. I likewise feel that Miss DeAngelis' letter is in no way the solution to the situation. She states that no one was "badgered" into postponing the movie. Yet, in discussing the whole affair with the two SG mem, hers I had contacted, and in a discussion with Ed Lipinski, who had come to the BEACON office to talk about the second show, ing, I frequently heard that Miss DeAngelis was "bothered" by the members of the Economics Club to call the s·e cond showing off. When a "bother" lasts from Monday - when the Econ, omics Club petitioned SG to postpone the show - to Thursday - when Miss DeAngelis postponed the movie, I call it a "bad, ger." Miss DeAngelis refers to a few "adjustment pains" that had to be made when the MANUSCRIPT movies were moved from the gym back to Stark 116. One can only guess at the amount of pain,killer that would have been needed if the place had not been changed. Watching a Japanese art film to the tune of the saving remnant that appeared for the Economics Club dance is not my idea of acting "in the BEST interest of the MOST stu, dents' • Perhaps a little calendar checking is in order? I would like to know where Miss DeAngelis received the information that only "eight" students attended the 9:30 p.m. movie, I distinctly remember counting twenty,seven students, Dr. and Mrs. Farley, plus the MANUSCRIPT crew needed to run the show. I suggest Miss DeAngelis check the source of her in, formation and compare it to that presented by those who attend, ed. In speaking to a number of students who attended the dance, I discovered that not only were high school boys and College men allowed to enter without wearing sports jackets, but also that high school girls, unescorted by college students, were allowed to en:ter wearing slacks. WHO is responsible for enforcing the rules, the clubs who are interested solely in Mak, ing Money, or SG, our governing body? As to the broad statement made by Miss DeAngelis in reference to my "three consecutive years of non,attendance at a Wilkes dance", I need only point out one irony. Last year, I wrote an editorial supporting the Economics Club for bringing in an outside band. I was happy to note, at the dance, that my editorial and the "outside" band were both effective. If Miss DeAngelis bothered to check her statement with anyone else's and still did not uncover the truth, I can only assume that her source was just another mere nationalistic prophet. In conclu, sion to this paragraph, may I refer all interested students to the editorial page of the Nov. 19 BEACON: "Dances, hayrides, and sports events are for those who are interested in dances, hay, rides, and sports events," et al. I further suggest that Miss DeAngelis reread last week's editorial concerning my contacting College Misericordia. The dean of women informed me that she had discovered that the dance at King's was not cancelled. I likewise did not state that the dean was told of the cancellation. I said "they," meaning the campus at large. As to my authority in contacting College Misericordia at all - I consider it my duty as a reporter to verify all information that I receive. Rather than rely on nationalistic prophets, I pre, fer going directly to the source. The actions of the Economics Club may have been ex, plained away to the satisfaction 0£ SG. That the club did not honor the Student Body with any explanation speaks for itself. Perhaps the president is still in search of an English major to write a "good" letter. Before returning to my garden, may I suggest that others check whether they are fertilizing Bowers or weeds. A.P. DeAngelis Explains Ber Actions Concerning Manuscript Film and Economics Club Dance Dear Co-editor: May I first make an open statement to the members of Student Government and to all interested students. One of the main points I have ·tried to stress in Student Government matters is that it is virtually impossible to please everyone, and the best precepts to follow are ( 1) consider the source of a complaint and then (2) act only after careful study of the validity of the complaints. I have never knowingly broken the second precept. Lest they fear that I now break the first, allow me to explain: since the answer to every one of Miss Pucilowski's queries was carefully explained to her long before the Beacon we~t to press last week, I can only assume that she feigned ignorance and capitalized on the power of her convenienf position with only the noblest interest of the student body at heart. For this reason I have no other recourse but to comply with Miss Pucilowski's request and explain matters so that she may know that her destiny as Wilkes College's Gadfly is complete. Pay and Enter, Or Dance In The Lobby! Dear Editor: Following the last dance co-sponsored by the Women's Chorus and Economics Club there were many complaints. One s_uch complaint that merits much thought was that many students felt they were overcharged at the door. It could be argued that they had the ultimatum to pay and enter, or to remain in the lobby for the evening. The question that remains is one of principle. In general. is the prime consideration in many of our clubs to gain financially by sponsoring an activity, or is it to work successfully toward an enjoyable evening for the students of Wilkes College? It seems the former is slowly "creeping in" on us. Is material gain overshadowing a purely social reason for many club activities? Advertising of the last dance seems to answer this question in the positive. Perhaps a revitalization of a spiritual nature is needed on campus. At any rate, a change of policy is of urgent necessity. Neither Student Government nor I was "badgered" into postponing the second showing of the Manuscript film. It was only after careful consideration of the request of the Economics Club and Women's Chorus that I consulted with Ed Lipinski, Chairman of the Manuscript films. It was then decided that in the best interest of the most students a second showing of that particular film was not necessary. May I point out that Student Government appropriated funds for twice the number of films this year. Consequently some of the films have to be shown on the same nights that dances are held. The original plan centered on the fact that films were to be shown in the gym on a screen purchased specifically for this purpose. Because students preferred the atmosphere of Stark 116, this plan had to be abandoned resulting in a few adjustment pains. The situation occuring on the Friday night in question is one example of these pains. WIikes College BEACON There is an official policy which states that no high school student may attend a Wilkes affair unescorted by a college student, and that jackets must be worn by all males. These rules are enforced by the club sponsoring the affair under the direction of a Student Government member. Student Government is not a police force and cannot be in every place at all times. However, I am pleased that Miss Pucilowski has suddenly decided to break her record of three consecutive years of non-attendance at a Wilkes dance and decided to join us in our attempts to make all _Wilkes dances fun affairs for the students. Concerning the "blemished appearance of Wilkes College given it by the shoddy actions of a few people", I question the authority of one Alis Pucilowski in representing Wilkes The reason that the two members of College in a call to the Dean of ColStudent Government contacted by lege Misericordia in which the Dean Miss Pucilowski didn't know of the was informed that certain members of Respectfully, Emily Wright decision was because no special meet- our student body had lied about the ing of Student Government had been supposed cancellation of the King 's called.

I have been student teaching this semester, and thus, not too aware of events on campus. However, that Friday night I attended the Manuscript film; as usual. the second showing was the more convenient for me. The audience numbered roughly thirty. The following week when I read a copy of the Beacon, I found that due to mis-government in the Economics Club and Miss Government in SG I nearly missed seeing the movie. I do not want to believe that Cathy DeAngelis cancelled the showing on the basis of "a random sampling." She would not be "vexed" into ignoring the interests of many; she would not consult a few Attorney Charles B.

Wreaths decorate the outside of the dorms and Commons. Each of the dorms have Christmas trees, many of which can be seen through the windows. An added feature this year is a Christmas tree on the lawn between Chase and Kirby Halls. The Public Relations Office has provided music in the cafeteria. On Tuesday and Wednesday even- ings dorm students exchanged gifts and Santa Claus came to visit. Women dormitory students continued playing "angels" for each other. For seven days each girl received surprises from her anonymous "angel." When pres- ents were exchanged, the "angels" discovered the identity of their "Suzie Snowftakes."' Last Thursday afternon, the men and women from local homes for the aged were feted by the women of T .D. R. at the annual Golden Agers' Party. The Lettermen provided transportation to McClintock Hall. Refreshments, Christmas carols, and Santa Claus created a holiday spirit. The following evening the Letter- ing. The tree was decorated by ornaments lent by members of the student body. Caroling followed the official lighting ceremony. A candle-light dinner for the dormitory students and administration mem- hers was held on Sunday followed by the singing of carols and hymns. The annual Christmas party for the entire student body and faculty (sponsored by I.D.C.) was held last night in the cafeteria. As usual, Dean Ral- ston played Santa Claus. The evening's agenda also included a festive decor, refreshments, a band, dancing, and caroling. Dr. and Mrs. Farley will entertain the staff of the various offices on campus at a luncheon in the Commons. Dr. and Mrs. Farley will also conclude formal activities in the evening at a party for faculty and administration members, trustees, and their wives and husbands. :I men's Formal officially initiated the holiday season.

These interesting plants live in soil which is deficient in nitrogen. Thus, they are forced to trap insects to replenish their supply. The plant dissolves the enzymes of their victims to obtain the nitrogen and opens when it has the necessary amount, releasing the dead insects to the mercy of the wind or rain. The flytraps are surprisingly strong. In fact, Mr. De Young had one of the plants in the terrarium at the time a chameleon was in it, and when the chameleon got his foot caught in the plant, he found that the only way of setting the chameleon free was to sever the plant. Needless to say, he no longer keeps a flytrap in the terrarium. by Nancy Leland Transported into a world which is a combination of both the Orient and the jungle, one finds an assortment of curiosities in the office of Robert DeYoung and Dr. You-King Chiang. Most of the "curiosities" are for the amusement of the room's inhabitants. - Both Dr. Chiang and Mr. DeYoung find their electric samovar useful when they or their visitors become thirsty; one of them makes enough hot tea in the samovar each morning to last the entire day. A gift to the office from Dr. Chiang, the samovar is of white China, and is complemented by several ornamented cups and saucers. Further investigation reveals two large tanks - one a terrarium, the other an aquarium. In the terrarium lives McTavish, a pet iguana, and his friend, a salamander. McTavish is more outgoing than the salamander, who hides among the rocks and can seldom be seen. The iguana is about three or four inches long, his tail consuming most of its length, and is a vivid chartreuse color. Recently the inhabitants had a weekend visitor, Anatole the tortoise. Anatole, a Frenchman, added a European air to the room. Knight of the iguana. Turning from McTavish to the aquarium, one can see four innocentlooking fish , which on closer inspection turn out to be piranha. The fearless Mr. De Young feeds the piranha their every-other-day-meal, usually of gizzards, liver, chicken hearts, or some other delicacy, by hand. By so doing, he remarked, the fish are tamed. The largest of the four, a dark fish, seemed the hungriest and thus the friendliest, taking the bits of meat from Mr. D eYoung's fingertips. They seldom bite hard. On the walls of the room are several maps and paintings. The maps are of the USSR, China, Burma, and India with some of the paintings corresponding to them. One painting of a Bengal officer, white-bearded and resplendent in a colorful turban, is done on black velvet and framed in gold. Two others are of vicious Indian warriors done by Jan Pethick, an art major. Completing the collection is a country scene given to Mr. De Young by friends. The walls on one side of the room are lined with books, mostly on economic theory since both professors are in the economics department. The two windows in the office reveal a view of the Market Street Bridge and River Street. Makes A Point In some of Mr. DeYoung's classes, he finds it helpful to use pointers for involved maps, charts, and graphs. He began cqllecting walking sticks when he reali%(ld that using different pointers for ·each subject made it easier to determine what he was discussing. Since then he has acquired many different kinds of pointers, among them one which was carved by a German prisoner of war in the African corps. Nearly all the pointers have an interesting background. One, a simple bamboo cane, has a silver head which unscrews to produce a fishing pole; another, invented for a thirsty owner, encases a long, narrow flask, which could hold liquids of any kind; yet another is an elegant mahogany stick, used by some dapper gentleman 50 or 60 years ago. Other walking sticks are of thornwood and birch and have been acquired through friends and students.

The tournament, held on the Heights Campus of New York University, was a two-day contest with two rounds on Friday and three on Saturday. The topic of debate was, Resolved: That the Federal Government Should Establish a National Program of Public Work for the Unemployed. For this topic, the debaters contacted the governors and the attorney general of the 50 states. The affirmative team, consisting of Al Airola and Andrew Thorburn, scored a decisive victory over Yale University on the first round. Regarding the victory, Airola stated, "It's a wonderful experience to defeat a school with a record of such excellence." The team also downed Harpur College during the competition. The negative team, consisting of Mark Hamdi and Ephraim Frankel, defeated the City College of New York, making it a record of three wins and seven losses. The teams participating included Dartmouth, Georgetown, the University of Vermont, the University of Niagara, the University of Pennsylvania, Pace College, City College of New York, and Yale University. OBOIST'S ARTICLES ON FRICSAY APPEAR; MENC PLANS TRIP by Carol Okrasinski Oboist Laila Storch, wife of Professor Martin Friedmann, has contributed to a recent publication about the internationally known conductor, Frenic Fricsay, who died earlier this month. Miss Storch was asked to write on Fricsay's experiences in the United States. During his brief appearances in this country in the 1953 and 1954 seasons, Miss Storch was first oboist in the Houston Symphony Orchestra and sa.w Mr. Fricsay in person there. Severlif plctures from Miss Storch's personal collection also appear in the book. Miss Storch wrote her articles in German, having first learned that language during her several years in Austria on a Fulbright Fellowship, and more recently having continued her interest through further study in the College's language department under the direction of Professor Elwood Disque.

Thus, many who would have attended missed out because of the self-interest of a few.

THE CELLAR 000 R On alternative Wednesday evenings, the rectory of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church on South Franklin Street becomes a theatre, coffee house and open forum as townspeople and students from neighboring colleges meet to discuss issues of current importance. Movies, plays and talks are presented, followed by a general discussion of the central theme of the work, during which coffee and refreshments are served. The program so far has included Vittorio de Sica's film , Umberto D, A Study in Color, three plays dealing with race relations by Malcolm Boyd, the films Children of Hiroshima, and David and Lisa, the Bishop 's Company doing extracts from George Bernard Shaw's St. Joan, an:! Fred McKirachan's report on the Mississippi Summer Project. The program for January_ is as yet uncertain, but in February the College Coffee House will show four films by the famed Ingmar Bergman, Virgin Spring, Winter Light, The Seventh Seal, and Through a Glass, Darkly. The idea for the Coffee House was first conceived by the clergy of several city churches in answer to the question, "What should the church provide for the college community?" The Coffee House, which is non-denominational, was set up as a joint effort by many churches in the area. The purpose is not merely to provide entertainment of a high calibre, although it certainly fills that need, but to expose students to the basic issues of their era, and to provide the climate for discussion necessary to intellectual growth. According to Rev. Burke Rivers of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, the Coffee House "attempts indoctrination in nothing except that issues of this nature are important enough to be looked at in depth .. . in dialogue" - that the issues involved are worth time and argument because they are basic, "and For approximately sixty students, therefore, religious". The Coffee House, by opening its doors to everyone in the area, also prolast Wednesday marked the end of the an opportunity for students from neighbring colleges, such as Wilkes student teaching period.

STUDENT TEACHING ENDS; Teachers Become Students " ... your hungered masses yearning to be free . . . " by Helen Dugan and Bill Kanyuck "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women are merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; . . . " For proof of this, one must only venture to 369½ South Main Street. At 6 p.m. the Cellar Door is opened for business. Thus begins the prologue. The characters of this part are not as dedicated to their presentation as are those cast in the crescendo portion of the mighty performances. These early e~trees are the completely-bored-with-no-place-to-rest type. They are few in n4qiber and care more about relaxation than about their roles. They are contept to stay in their class and not give competition to the more highly organized ·actors of later curtains. But these slow-paced individuals are soon to be pushed from the stage, for the night is upon us. As night comes so do the guitars, the quarter admissions, and the special actors of the night. These actors do not take their characterizations as lightly as did their predecessors. Each 'special actor' must characterize more dramatically - yet appear to be disinterested - because if he slackens for a minute another actor might rise in his place. There is no audience as such, since no one merely watches. Each person chooses a conforming role and becomes another actor. Therefore, one must be sure to meet all requirements of his role. The requirements to be filled can be divided into a costume and custom - both being equally important. By now the comforming costume is widely recognized. One must wear a solid-color shaker, preferably navy or maroon, over a pin-striped shirt. He must don blue-jeans and loafers. Without these symbols, he can't possibly be considered an actor in the 'in' group. But while he strives for the 'in' group in costume, he must venture for the 'out' group of custom. He must at all times be in a private solitude, showing the other actors his disconcern with life. Thus our actors must be schizophrenic along with their other talents. But there is a final characteristic which plays a major part. It is the age group. Although our particular Cellar Door actors are all high school students, they mus~ impress upon one another the idea of the true collegian. . Tranquility can come after the last player has left. The stage is then quiet, but in a short time it will stage another opening night, and the actors will come alive once more. Commons Hosts Christmas Porty Today's Morality Needs Today's Yardsticks W. H. Bliss, Associate History Department Professor, As the third contributor to this series of articles in the Beacon, I have an unfair advantage somewhat analogous to the first rebuttal speaker in a debate. (Note that the word " unfair" carries some moral value but is of no scientific significance.) The title of this discussion or debate, adopted and adapted from Wolfgang Kohler's lectures delivered in the William James lectures delivered at Harvard University in the fall of 1934, seems to call for a brief historical foreword. Professors Kohler, Kafka and Wertheimer, the founding fathers of "Gestalt psychology", belong to a small minority of thinkers and writers, who, following the general methods of Sigmund Freud, tried to introduce some scientific order into the theories concerning man's behaviour and motivation. German writers often have a passion (I would say almost an obsession) for "order"; 'Alles musz in Ordnung sein" has become the national anthem of the Teutonic intellectual. No serious historian objects to attempts to introduce some order or pattern into the human events of the past. The dangers, sometimes great dangers , arise when people, especially s o 1 d i e r s and politicians, try to FORCE THE FUTURE INTO AN ORDER MOLDED BY SCIENTIFIC THEORIES BASED ON THE PAST. Preachers and teachers often join in this folly ; they interpret the past in order to direct the future. Yardsticks Required Both the disciplines of Science and of Morality require yardsticks, each discipline using its own intervals or divisions and definitions. Science TODAY measures facts in highly complex terms such as wave lengths, dynes and neutrons. YESTERDAY morality measured itself in romantic terms of devils and angels. But science five thousand years ago was a motley collection of superstitions. Morality TOMORROW may be based on a proper understanding of tolerance, and an honest belief in the value of Difference. D.V. Tomorrow's morality may truly accept not only that black, brown and yellow skin pigmentation should be treated justly, but that it is part of the wonder and the glory of this world of ours that we have these differences here. A country where only roses are allowed to grow, even the most beautiful big white roses, is still, Borally, a poor country. The world of facts todaY. is of absorbing interest to the sc(entists and moralists when they ar€ ckaling their cards. Remember that'· yqu · very seldom see them shuffled and that it is usually "dealer's choice·: when it comes to fixing the rules. It always was this way, even in my day, and the best way to win is to learn the rules the way they are. Then, if you still want to, you can modify them or change some of them to suit you and your times. No great scientist ever made a great discovery without first learning about the then existing so-called facts. No man ever had a great idea about moral values without first living with, and under, the morality of this day. Secondly, remember that you have as good a "mind" as your In his inauguration speech, the late moralist or scientist, but he has "exper- President Kennedy spoke of the imience". portance of an idea which he referred to as becoming a citizen of the Notch Your Own Yardstick world.

Although it was devoid of spoken words, the film was amply supplied with sounds: an oar dipping into the sea, a footstep on a hill. In spite of the unusual technique used , the film successfully presents the moving story of a Japanese family who lives on an island . The husband and wife , along with their two sons, work hard to eke out a living from a dried-up hillside. But hard work proved to be no preventative against sadness, for tragedy, in the form of death , strikes their oldest son. The epitome of the difficult life these peasants must bear is most apparent when both parents, although griefstricken by the sudden loss of their son, must carry his coffin to its grave and cover it with earth. Island, to the surprise of many , proved that words are not necessary to communicate with an audience. The faces of the players caused the viewer to know what the character was thinking at any given moment. Just a single look at the wife 's face and one knew , and felt, the exasperation she felt at the loss of her son. And only a moment's glance at the husband's face when his wife drops a bucket of water lets the audience know immediately that he is angry and will strike her for her carelessness. These expressive faces, coupled with occasional sounds of work told a complete and enjoyable story. The fact that the characters had no names , and needed no names, added to the picture's symbolism.

TOR, JAYCEES STAGE CHRISTMAS EVENTS ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• GIFT Friday, December 11, 1964 Mrs. Bosch, New English Teacher, Prefers Teaching College Students by Barbara Simms Class meetings were held yesterday at 11 a.m. Under the new Student Government policy, both written and oral reports of all class meetings will be given to Student Government. Attending the senior class meeting was a representative from the Metropolitan Insurance Company who spoke to the seniors about the possibility of a Wilkes Endowment Plan in connection yvith the class gift. A committee has been appointed by President Ed Comstock to look into the material suggested in the plan. The endowment plan is only one of a number of possibilities for the class gift. Other committees will report on their findings on the topic at a later date. On Wednesday, December 16, from 9-4 p.m. the annual class bake sale will be held in the cafeteria by the seniors. The bake sale committee, headed by chairwoman Jodie Morrison, consists of volunteers from the class. Included in future class plans is the senior sponsorship of the Donkey Basketball game, scheduled for March 12. The juniors discussed profits from the recent dinner-dance, and miscellaneous future plans. This class has no definite plans in the offing. The main business on the sophomore class agenda was the selection of the band for the forthcoming dance on January 8, 1965. The sophomores promise to present a sensational group, or to quote President Ed Pashinski, " .. . a novelty group rather than a plain ordinary band." The sophomores, who reported a successful hayride, are also planning an ice skating party and a class car wash. Tickets for the latter may be purchased from the 3-Minute Car Wash at a reduced rate of $1.25 rather than the usual $1.50. The class will receive a commission on the sales, md, as the tickets are good all year, Greek mythology, acting, and the Sunday Times crossword puzzle are all interests of Mrs. Thelma Bosch, new English teacher at the College. A native of this area, she and her family reside in Kingston. Prior to coming to the College, Mrs. Bosch taught Latin at Wyoming and Kington High Schools. Her approach to arousing the interest of her first-year language students was to teach them Greek and Latin mythology. She said that mythology ls often used today in literature and drama. She stated, "Modern playwrights often base their plays on Greek mythology." As an example, she cited My Fair Lady, which was based on George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, which was in turn based upon the story of Pygmalion in mythology. they would not be wasted on a car that is clean now. At the freshman class meeting the newly elected officers were introduced by Don Ungemah and a class constitution was formulated. A list for recruiting executive council members has been posted on the bulletin board at the Commons. Interested freshmen may sign it over the weekend. President Ned Williams asked for moneyraising suggestions, since the freshman treasury balances at zero. The freshman class dance, which will be held in March, was also discussed. •. -.. .. . ·' ' • .. • • •. . •. ... . ·•v.1~ft..1p,tt-r,~ If I J "------ • .• ..• •• . Mrs. Bosch, after her graduation from Wyoming Seminary, attended Penn State University where she received her B.A. in English. Mrs. Bosch and her family lived in Florida a few years ago. She said, "I found that Floridians do not seem to have the roots that people do in this area. Here, people are more interested in what their children are doing. In Florida, for instance, adults lead completely different lives from their children. There isn't a close rapport between adolescents and parents. There is a feeling of permanence here that is not found there." Mrs. Bosch's other activities include chairman of the Community Chest Drive and the Cancer Drive for the Wyoming area in past years . • . Thelma Bosch Commenting further on this subject, she said, "I like Wyoming Valley very much. We have more cultural opportunities here in comparison with many other areas. In addition, we have New York City not far away." . "• When asked her reason for coming to the College from Kingston High School, she replied, "I've always enjoyed teaching older students. I like the stud_ents' attitude. Having taught both in· f:iigh school and in college, I find that the students mature immeasurably in the short time between high school graduation and their entrance into college." Mrs. Bosch is a member of the Wilkes-Barre Little Theatre and Showplace Theatre, a new drama group organized by the members of Little Theatre. She is also active in the Drama Guild at the Jewish Community Center and has directed several plays there in the past. She has played the leads in local productions of Pajama Game, Hatful of Rain, and Watch on the Rhine. .. •.•• Although she sometimes takes two or three days to complete them, Mrs. Bosch enjoys working the Sunday Times crossword puzzle each week.

This year was a difficult one in which to pick an All-American team because of the wide use of two-platoon football.

Freshman Jim Smith tossed in 13 points in that game for the team high. Ithaca' . beat the Colonels 77-54 in a frustr;jting game. Wilkes played on even terms throughout the first period, but succumbed to the Bombers in the second stanza and never regained their early lead. Jim Smith was high with 21 points and Dale Nicholson played well defensively. Joe Chanecka was second in scoring with 13 points. The Scranton University Royals dumped the Colonels 88-55 on Monday. Scranton took an early lead and the halftime score was 42-30, Scranton leading. The Royals continued their attack in the second half, as four players ended in double figures. Jim Smith and Lee Obrzut paced the Colonels with 18 points each. Wilkes lacks height once again this season and is unable to gain rebounds under the basket to get a much needed second shot. The Colonels will have to find a counter to this weak spot to bolster their scoring attack.

Last Friday and Saturday, December 4 and 5, the Wilkes matmen wrestled in a tri -meet with the U.S. Military Academy and Rochester Institute of Technology at West Point, New York. The Colonels defeated R.I.T. 35-0, only to lose to Army 20-8. Although the Colonels lost, there is an indication of great things to come. Five of the eight starters are freshmen , with Bill Tinney, a sophomore, Dave Hall, a sophomore, and Ned McGinley, a senior, the only upper classmen among the varsity. Backed by a J.V. team of five fresh men, one sophomore, and one senior, the Colonels should be a team difficult to defeat.

With the help of their advisor, David Fendrick, the Society has planned a comprehensive program which will help to develop the College's forensic talent. The purpose in developing this new program, as stated by Ephraim Frankel , president of the Society, is " to think rationally, logically, quickly and humorously - on your feet!" Ephraim Frankel, president, diKusses debating topic with Mr. Robert Werner of the economics depart• ment and Dr. William Bliss of the history department. The Society feels that certain faculty members would be helpful in preparing its topic. Frankel stated that these professors will be invited to lecture at future meetings. Get your ticket from the Lettermen Vol. XXIV, No. 10 Christmas Previews At -"Wonderlond In White" The annual Christmas Formal, ··wonderland in White," sponsored by the Lettermen's Club, will be held at the Manfield Ballroom on Friday, December 11, from 9 p.m. to 12 p.m. Tickets are $3.00 per couple and music will be provided by Herbie Green and his orchestra. President Tom Trosko has announced that in order to cut expenses the club has made arrangements for students to obtain tuxedos for five dollars at Baum's. Decorations for the evening will be a product of Letterman initiative. In the center of the Boor will be a massive hand-selected Christmas tree cut and decorated by the Lettermen. The centerpieces for each table, also hand cut, will consist of white birch logs, decorated with pine boughs and blue candles. The back-drop winter scene will be done in blue and white. Punch, spouting from a siver white fountain, will be served along with cookies as the night's refreshments. Polaroid pictures taken of each couple will be placed in a program and given to the couple. As a finale, George Ralston, accompanied by Millie Gittens at the piano, will _lead the Lettermen in the singing of Christmas carols.

He made the startling observation that some unemployment is due to improper training. As certain jobs increase in complexity, they require a higher intelligence in their workers. The minimum requirements of these jobs leave a certain number of people unemployed. In order to acquire information for their present topic, Resolved: That the Federal Government Should Establish a National Program of Public Work · for the Unemployed, the debaters have contacted the governors and attorney generals of the fifty states. Frankel explained, " An overwhelming amount of general information was received from the governors; the attorney generals likewise contributed information on state laws concerning unemployment." After unemployment data was accumulated, the debaters ' next step was to compile the most recent and accurate statistics for a more thorough preparation for the debating season. This program was initiated by Miss Charlotte Lord, former advisor of the Society, who is presently preparing her doctoral thesis at the University of Pennsylvania. :l~:1~~J.:!t Two faculty members have already spoken to the group.

SG Sponsors Day Student Seminar; Miller Plans CS C by Mary Quinn Recently, great interest has been shown in the organization of a Commuting Student Council, (C.S.C.) , analogous to the Inter-Dormitory Council (I.D.C.) . The Student Government is now in the process of encouraging this long-desired function via an open Seminar to be held next week. The purpose of inviting commuting students to this meeting is twofold: to assemble ideas concerning the organization of this Council, and to determine whether the student body is willing to earnestly come forward to support it. On the individual level, one example of the enthusiasm being gen, crated for this council is the mimeographed, three-page Bier written by Barry Miller, a sophomore commuting student. Miller has set up a detailed plan for a hypothetical C.S.C. to fulfill his defined purpose of ... "enabling the day students to establish closer contact with the affairs of the College . . . and to give them a more direct voice in the activities of the Student Government . . . " Miller's s u g g est ions include a twenty-member Council consisting of representatives from designated geographical districts, headed by a planning board. This board has the duty of speaking for the Council in Student Government meetings, and of distributing bi-weekly reports on their policies, decisions, and current activities. These reports will be made available to all day students through their respective representatives. Both the Student Government and Miller's Bier emphasize the importance of active student participation. The reactions to the circulated Bier and the attendance at next week's seminar are anxiously anticipated by all concerned. value to the debaters. These methods include the use of the local libraries, advice from local officials in unemployment offices, and research teams to work in the library. Dr. Bliss also Compleme~ting this program, the debaters are ·, aFquiring a library that can be used to gather reference material. They now posess 22 books including Baker's Specimens of Argumentation, an example of classical argumentation, and Modem Dd,ate, Its Logic and Strategy by Dr. Arthur N. Kruger, a former faculty member. This library will especially aid the novice debaters, who will aso be coached in certain techniques by varsity debaters. Frankel announced that varsity debaters will begin their debating program at New York University today and tomorrow. The novice debaters, following some preparation in intrasociety debating, will start the season at Temple University tomorrow. He remarked that anyone interested in debating should contact him at Warner Hall. Officers of the Society are: Ephraim Frankel, president; Andrew Thorburn, vice-president; Mark Hamdi, treasurer; and Edith Aurelia, secretary. by Barbara Simms . .. Heavy voting and large winning pluralities marked the recent election of freshman class officers. Ned Williams defeated three opponents by a landslide to be elected president. His vice-president is France Olexy, who won over four opponents by a large plurality. The race for class secretary was narrowly won by Maureen Flanley, who squeaked past second-place Sheryl Napoleon by sixteen votes. Basil Russin was victorious by a wide margin in the contest for the office of treasurer. Of thirteen students who competed, Jaqui Rubiq, .,J udy Simonson, Matt Fliss. and Joe Ki'der were elected Student Government representatives.

Vujica, Philosophy-Religion Department In response to the editors' invitation to take part in the Beacon's panel on moralitY., I shall limit myself entirely to commenting on the idea that 'a system of morality can be derived by the use of the scientific method" (which is the way the Beacon has summarized the thesis of Wolfgang Kohler's book The Place of Value in a World of Fact). This view is but a logical extension of a broader philosophical outlook which is sometimes called scientism and may be defined a~ :the tendency to think of man in merely scientific terms and to apply exclusively scientific solutions to man's problems. Friday, December 4, 1964 Who Is John Galt? Dear Editor: It was an interesting discovery for me to pick up last week's Beacon and find that I had composed .. Why Not Socialism" in a state of absolute hysteria. It seems to me, however, that the author of .. Why Not Camelot" hurled a great many insults without making a strong criticism of what was set forth in my letter. I would like to expand upon some of the points which the author questioned as having any validity. I stated, .. Socialism has been a failure wherever it h3s been tried." Miss Utopia contends that a more ridiculous statement could not have been formulated. At first glance one might accept such a criticism, but let's you and I look more closely at this one point. The largest single obstacle to the success of the planned economy has been the lack of foresight of a few planners in planning for a large country. A perfect case in point is Sweden, which has a successful socialistic economy. But her very success has been due to the fact that she is able, as a small country, to concentrate on certajp. major industries and import the necessities she does not produce. Size is of vital importance when discussing the over-all planning of the economy. The larg~r the country the more difficult it seems to have been to anticipate and plan for the diverse needs of the people who are spread across many temperate and time zones. My remarks are not intended to either attack or defend Mismanagement Problem this position, but rather to point out some fairly obvious difficulties and hazards inherent in any attempt to derive morality Goin!l from one extreme to the other, we look at Russia and Red China.

The basic TO THEE BOWS THE PRESIDENT Should we cultivate the spirit of independence and rugged individualism, as we were urged to do in the recent political campaign, or should we develop the attitudes of cooperation and compassionate concern for our fellow man? Should we strive for the Nietzschean ideal of a "master-morality" by encouraging the strollg and the fit, or should we strive for a society which protects the weak and the unfit? Should we condition our youngsters so that they would be incapable of feeling any compunction about herding into gas chambers men, women, and children of another race? Should we inculcate into our young people the ideal of a Komsomol youth who d.oes not hesitate to denounce to the police his own father and mother for their "reactionary" behavior? Alas, on all these questions science and the scientific method are silent, and the silence, as the phrase goes, is deafening. The German rocket scientists worked first for Hitler and his ideal of a great society; later, following their capture, they worked with equal abandon for Stalin's dictatorship and for our own democracy. Is there any reason to assume that behavioral scientists would not serve the purpose of whatever individual or group happens to have the power? Society must guard against an ever-present danger that some scientists will put loyalty to their profession above all other other loyalities. The temptation to advance one's own science at whatever cost is very great. If this sounds too pessimistic, just remember again that German physicians performed experiments with inmates of concentration camps - the kind of which we would hesitate to perform with animals. than a hundred of our students. It is only possible to render such an outstanding performance when students support their directors without stint. Through this letter, I wish to express to all who participated in the performance ~ on the stage or behind the scenes ~ my warm appreciation of their work. All that they did was a credit to them and to their College. Sincerely yours, Eugene Farley President Miss Utopia has indicated in her letter that "pure capitalism is not the way to peace." Miss Utopia may not have noticed, but in the last 60 years the United States has been a long way from a pure capitalistic system.

On behalf of the students, faculty, and administration of the College, the BEACON offers its sympathy to Mr. Paul (By the way, the Communists have been saying Utopia is just around the Bedford. Add to the above the hazard arising from the reformer's zeal. A reformer's utter absorption in and fascination with his beatific vision of a faultless world makes him singularly insensitiV.e to the evilness of the means. There is no more potentially darigerous individual than a fellow with a savior-complex in his head and a blue-print of a utopia in his pocket. For, as a Chinese sage said more than two thousand years ago, when such a person "acts and finds no response, he rolls up his sleeves to force it on others." Final Point This leads to my final point. The experience with the experiments to achieve a perfect human community on a scientific basis has been far from reassuring. The Marxists take great pride in saying that their system is scientific. In a certain perverse sense scientific ·it assuredly is. The Communists believe that they have the formula of what the good society ought to be, and after gaining power, characteristically by force, not by persuasion, they proceed with the laboratory testing of its validity and do it with an impersonal. scientific cold-bloodedness, with all value judgments such as right or wrong, and all sentiments, all sentimentalities left out. If a few million human beings must be liquidated, because they oppose the experiment, it is too bad. "One cannot make omelets without breaking eggs," was a favorite proverb of Stalin. Those who survive, the human guinea pigs in this experiment in human engineering, must be kept under complete control. which, after all, is another requirement of the scientific method. The secret police and the government propagandists, versed in the techniques of conditioning and brainwashing, are assigned the task of seeing to it that the conditions of a controlled experiment are maintained until men become automatically happy and incapable of anti-social behavior. point that the example served was to point out that not only can the Average American afford to travel in a car (it might be interesting to point out that, while in England, I witnessed 10,000 Southampton dockyard workers leave work in the pouring rain on foot and on bicycle), but that the Average American has been afforded a material well-being higher than anything in the history of man, including not only consumer. goods, but medical facilities and thf like as well.

But we hc1ve come a long way since The Jungle about which Upton Sinclair wrote, and this progress has not been due to government intervention alone. It would take a person blind to society to say that we are the only system suffering from this malady of technical unemployment; Russia in particular is suffering to a greater degree from this same problem.

It is here that every student receives a grade of C in every course regardless of his effort or extent of knowledge of the subject, and after four glorious years everyone graduates together. Being very realistic in the middle of this dream, ask yourself how many people would study diligently without the incentive of grades. Honestly now, would you, if no matter what you did you got a C? And, my attentive reader, this is no different than the Utopia suggested by last week's author. If she were to take the profit incentive out of the capitalistic system, she would have very few people making the effort to keep the society going. This is just what Kosygin and Brezhnev have found in Russia. Let's face it. Ugly as it may seem, the profit motive has made the U.S. what it is today.

WALLEY Page 3 Millie Gittins, Manager ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• by Barbara Simms Ed Wallison, a Wilkes graduate of the class of '52, has returned to the College as public relations director. In the years following his graduation, Mr. Wallison has pursued various fields. After serving two years in the United States Air Force, he applied for the C.I.A. in 1954. Checking and clearing ' pf applicants takes at least six montbs, and "while awaiting the completion of this process, I began a fifth year at Wilkes to earn teacher certification. When I was accepted as a technical writer, I was engrossed in school and I decided to remain to receive my certification." After teaching in New York for two years Mr. Wallison returned to this area in 1957. He taught public speaking at Kingston High School until 1962. During his years at Kingston High, he was affiliated on a part-time basis with radio stations WNAK, WILK, and WEJL. In addition, Mr. Wallison received his master's degree in political science from Bucknell University in 1960. In 1962, he began working full time in the announcing and promotion departments of radio WEJL in Scranton, where he remained until August, 1964, when he returned to the College. When asked why he became interested in public relations, he said, "Just dealing with the public is a fas~ AAd Ql itself, · in that the public is made up of just so many individuals, each of which is fascinating in hrs own right." On his opinion of the College, he stated, "The element with which I am most impressed is the feeling of cooperation which tends to permeate the thinking of all at the College. And I believe this is as it should be, in that we are all working toward a common goal." Mr. Wallison prepared this statement concerning the functions of public relations: " If we may be allowed to utilize the Beacon as a messenger of sorts, we would direct a few words to the student body. "The main function of the Public Relations Office is communication with the public. This is accomplished primarily via the area newspapers, radio and television stations. c~aqo~ Edward Wallison '"As anyone would admit, effective communication calls for effective coordination and dissemination of the information and news involved. This is not possible if students take it upon themselves to attempt communication with the public on their own terms, whether individually, or as a representative of a student organization. Surely there is a good reason to avoid such action; it is in direct conflict with College policy, violates the protocol expected by news media, and can lead to unnecessary duplication and complication. "We would therefore ask that any student contact with the public that will carry the name 'Wilkes' along with it, whatever the reason and media involved, first be cleared through the Public Relations Office. Mrs. Fritz and I are more than willing, at any time, to offer our cooperation to any student or student organization, and hope that this feeling will be reciprocal." Mr. Wallison, in his spare time, enjoys billiards. ··1 have been known to wield an effective cue," he said with a laugh. When asked his opinion of woman 's invasion into the male sanctuary, the pool hall, he smiled and said, "I find the idea a very tasteful one because it will surely tend to change the attitude of the masses toward what is a very enjoyable and relaxing activity. Either this will be the case, or we shall end up with some rather hardened and calloused young ladies." Another of his hobbies is woodworking. Even while in the college preparatory course in high school, he took at least one shop course every year. ··1 found it personally .satisfying to create things by hand while being constantly involved with things of an academic nature. I find woodwork very fascinating. The creation of a French inlaid lamp of black walnut and white maple, which I made one time, is a challenge in one sense of the word, as would be the effective completion of an article in another." •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• WILKES STUDENTS! • LIBRARY CAREERS offer excellent salaries • lo~l - national and ·world-wide placement opportunities • professional employment SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5th AT THE STARFIRE ROOM 150 SOUTH MAIN STREET The Fabulous "Walking in the Sand" - WJLKES-BARRE SHANGRI - LAS "Leader of the Pack" Music by THE STARFIRES DANCING 8 to 11 p.m. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 3 CONVENIENT LOCATIONS REX CATALDO Chuck Robbins Razor Hair Cutting SPORTING GOODS STERLING BARBER SERVICE H•irpiec.. for Men - Wig• for Women Colognes - Perfumes - Cosmetics Ready to serve you with a complete line of Sweaters, STERLING HOTEL Jackets, Emblems, Sporting Goods. 9 E.

The last'two weeks have produced the major upsets of the year. Nebraska 's 17-game winning streak was stopped by Oklahoma , and Army broke the spell Navy held over them. The biggest upset of the year occurred as the bubble over Notre Dame burst when an inspired Southern California came from behind to edge the " Fighting Irish." Despite the loss, I feel Notre Dame still has the best team in the country. They play the toughest schedule of any team in the nation. They have no breather games, as many of the major college teams do. Alabama and Arkansas have good teams, but their schedules are somewhat softer than that of Notre Dame. Here is the final "Top Ten": Notre Dame Alabama Arkansas Texas 5. Michigan 1. 2. 3. 4. 6. Nebraska 7. Oregon St. 8. OhioSt. 9. Princeton 10. Tulsa Finding Tulsa and Princeton in the "Top Ten" may be surprismg to some, but not if one takes a look at the records. Tulsa has Jerry Rhome. who has set over 13 new college passing records and Howard Twilley, who has se t a pass catching record , in addition to being one of the top scorers in the country. Princeton was undefeated, has one of the finest coaches in the country, and has the best fullback around in Cosmo lacavazzi. As the season ended, my record was 149 right and 54 wrong or a .733 percentage1 Since beginning my predictions last season. I have compiled an over-all record of 238 right and 87 wrong for a .732 percentage. I piJk Ara Parseghian as Coach of the Year for his bringing the Irish of Notre Dame back into prominence as a major football power. He took Notre Dame from a 2-8 record to a 9- 1 record and turned unknown players into great stars. With Ara at the helm , the Irish will be experiencing greatness for some time. Ted Travis-Bey Dale Edwards Bob Eurich The Beacon has selected Ted Travis-Bey, Dale Edwards and Bob Eurich as standouts from the fall sports season. Travis-Bey, while seeing little running action as the Colonels blocking back, managed to compile impressive statistics in other departments to gain the nod as Outstanding Back from the football team. Travis-Bey gained 208 yards on 11 passes, registered Wilkes' only aerial touchdown, rushed for 197 yards with a 4.5 average, returned 9 kick-offs for 230 yards and a 25.6 average, and compiled 14 points for the season. Currently, Travis-Bey is a resident at Butler Hall with his home residence in Phoenixville, Pa. He is a senior accounting major. Edwards, the Outstanding Lineman, has been a consistent performer all season at his guard position. He is a native of Wilkes-Barre and a senior in secondary education. Such an ob- vious stand-out made this selection comparatively easy. -~~ WRESTLERS AND Wr,stling Schedule •••••••••••••••••••••••• SONNY HARRY 5CAGERS TO PLAY D ec.

Costumes have been altered the necessary two or more sizes, all the lines have been memorized, and ftaws have been reduced to a minimum through two previous presentations. Tonight the cast will enact "The Sound of Music" for the third time. When the curtain goes up and the play begins, one will get the idea that these players have always been the people whom they are portraying; and that their actions and lines have always been the way that they are now being presented. ~! . Play practices were not precise, calm, and tranquil; they were mass hysteria, bedlam, and madness. Once behind the stage, the most quiet student turns into an evil actor searching for a way to remove any last trace of sanity from the mind of their devoted director. A typical conversation during a typical "Sound of Music" production may go typically as such: " All right gang, let's go! Act I Scene I." "But To~y's . . . " "Well?" "Well, Tony can't come right now. He 's . . .. well .. . he 's ... " "Oh, you mean Tony is .... " "Yeh, that's right." "O.K. We 'll take a break till Tony gets back." Five minutes later. "AJI right gang, let's go! Act Scene I.

I suggest that the the pudding, rather than the panic. The statements are so generalized and valueless in this item that any influence of education seems purely coincidental. The writer has established point-blank (mainly blank) internationally unsolved economic problems with statements such as, "Socialism has been a failure whereever it has been tried." That is a brave statement, sir, but bravery misused does not compliment rationality. Many times a student has been placed into office by the sheer power of his personality or by his friends' prodding other students to vote for their amigo. Too often has it been discovered that the individual was not capable of handling the demands of his position. Our orator's declaration that "Under the socialist system, productivity declines and the standard of living is lower than in a free enterprise system," with pudding proof since almost all Britons lack possession of two cars, is the epitome of super ignorance. Surely our 'greatness' is not in our double-garage system. But then, of course, only an American could go one way in two directions at the same time. His final oration is not worth a rebuttal's value of ink ( "Socialism is essentially an atheistic philosophy") .

How ironic had it been when on that day we were studying JULIUS CAESAR in our Shakespeare class, and were to begin that very day at that passage of Cassius reading: "How many ages hence Shall this our lofty scene be acted over In states unborn and accents yet unknown! " We attended other classes - as we had on other days. How memorable had it been when in that week we were study* ing Shelley in our Romanticism class, and had just begun the poet's elegy on the death of Keats: "Say: 'With me Died Adonais; till the Future dares For get the Past, his fate and fame shall be An echo and a light unto Eternity!'

I want very much to be treasurer so that I can help lead our class to be one of the greatest Wilkes has ever had. I chose the office of treasurer because I have had experience in this office. While in high school, I had the opportunity of being secretarytreasurer for the Y-Teen club for two Friday, November 20, 1964 years; therefore, I have had experience in the office I am seeking. I am accustomed to handling money because every weekend I work as a cashier in McCrory's in the Gateway Shopping Center. If I win the election, I cannot promise you miracles. The only thing I will promise is to handle the funds of the class to the best of my ability.

My primary purpose for writing this letter for publication in the Beacon is to acquaint all of you with my purposes and qualifications. In high school I served as home-room president for three years. I was also on the Student Council during those years. I have had leadership experience such as when I was captain of various athletic teams. If you elect me, I promise to fulfill all the duties and obligations of the office of Student Government representative for this great class of 1968. I know I have the ability, and with your efforts and support we will get the job done. I have been chosen as a candidate to represent the freshman class in Student Government. Elections are a necessary part of the American way. Many elections, however, become popularity contests rather than a means of selecting the supposedly better man.

Some of my more specific qualifications for Student Government are: Student Council (5 years), Student Council A ward, and several leadership awards. As far as my policies are concerned, I am in favor of publicizing and placing a greater emphasis upon Wilkes College's high academic standards which would be an important factor in the increase of school spirit, the council for day students, and the further development and improvement of the summer reading program.

DENNIS JONES My name is Dennis Jones, and I'm running for the office of Student Government representative. I'm not going to make any dire promises. I know that some of the other candidates have pointed out, or invented some weaknesses in our college, but it is useless to say that if elected, they will correct them. It takes a strong Student Government, backed by an interested and responsible student body, to accomplish these tasks. If elected, I will endeavor to do my utmost to promote towards this ideal, and do my best to contribute to the betterment of Wilkes College. CAROLE RUDY As a candidate for the office of Student Government representative, I would like to take this chance to tell my fellow students why I am running for this office. I spent three years , on executive council, the governing body in my high school. I am acc11stomed to the operations of a class in relation to a school's government.

Neither of the teams gained a reliable point advanfilge in the game as they battled to a 2-2 deadlock. Rich Beck and Dave 'thomas did the honors for Wilkes. The Colonels dropped the final game of the season Saturday to the Albright Lions 48-14 at the Wilkes Athletic Field. The Wilkesmen concluded the season with a 1-6 record. Albright finished with a 8-1 and was in fourth place in the competition for the Lambert Cup. This past season loomed ill-fated for the Colonels. Although they had a losing season, the team did play well, only losing by small margins in a majority of their games. The team had one win and three ties against eight defeats. The ball changed hands twice, the Colonels had the ball on their own 29-yard line and began to drive. Purta and Comstock carried for good yardage on the ground. Trosko hit Ted Travis-Bey for an 11 yard gain in the air. Paul Purta climaxed the 71 yard drive by blasting through the line for the score. The PAT by Len Rishkofski was wide. Leading scorers for the Colonels this season were Bob Eurich and Rich Beck, each booting 6 goals. Rich Bucko contributed a good all-around effort defensively as well as offensively for the Colonels. Wilkes loses five senior soccer players through graduation next year. Among them are co-captains Bob Eurich and Larry Gubanich. This year's freshmen contributed much to the team effort this past season. Next season will be a different story since six starters return for Coach Jitn Ferris. Rich Beck, Rich Harmon, Huddy Harmes, Mike Hudick and Dave Thomas will prove valuable to next year's efforts. •••••••••••••••••••••••• COLLEGE Charms - Rings Brooches Miniature Rings and Charm Bracelets FRANK CLARK JEWELER •••••••••••••••••••••••• CASH SALES ONLY.

One of their first tasks is to have the seniors submit three by five glossy photographs of themselves to the Amnicola office.

The purpose of this innovation is to give the Amnicola · a · 'niore collegiate appearance. This suggestion is pr~~ently under discussion before Student Government.

William Gasbarro, chairman of the music department, is musical director, and Richard Chaplipe is vocal director. Captain Von Trapp, portrayed by John Hyer, represents one of the last of the aristocratic Austrians determined to resist the demands ma.de by the new German commanders of the Third Reich.

Association with Elsa The Captain is closely associated with Elsa (portrayed by Betsy Dukes), his wealthy, devoted friend. Although her laissez-faire actions toward the Germans begin to sway the Captain's feelings, she lacks the sincerity and depth of conyiction to have any great influence on him. The character of Max. portrayed by James Eitel, eases the tenseness of the plot and emphasizes the light political satire. As an Austrian administrator of music, Max is light-hearted towards his beloved Von Trapp family; at the same time he offers sound advice to Although "The Sound of Music" is slated to open on Thursday evening, the Captain, to whom he remains loyal a special performance will be held throughout the play.

The cast of the joint Wilkes-Kiwanis Club production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "The Sound of Music" have been busily rehearsing for the past month. We watched them for approximately an hour recently, and evidently, the play contains what it needs to make it - tritely - a "hit;" namely, esprit de corps. For the current group of thespians, the play's the thing. It will be a success. From Mark Bliss' athletic feats to Betsy Dukes' upstaging antics (both off-stage), we realized that affairs are what one makes them at the College. In re!<±ent issues of the BEACON, too much attention has been paid to what has been called "apathy." Angry letters to the editor have trickled in about "what to do about campus apathy." Admittedly, the BEACON has even been guilty of playing up the apathy bit. Well, I, for one, am tired of it. To go to the man who has lately been referred to so often, so much so that one gets the impression he is god, Webster defines apathy as "privation of passion, emotion, or excitement." And this is the word one selects to describe the campus. It is a pity we can no longer distinguish between imply and infer, uninterested and disinterested. We infer that students who don't attend Friday night dances are disinterested in Life at Wilkes. We infer that students who don't attend hayrides are disinterested in Life at Wilkes. We infer that students who don't attend sports events are disinterested in Life at Wilkes. Bah, Humbug! The implication involved in the above "don't attends" is that perhaps students are Uninterested in the particular event. Because we do not read ANTHONY ADVERSE does not imply we don't read. Dances, hayrides, and sports events are for those who are interestfc;l in dances, hayrides, and sports events. An age-old adage H~ it that you can lead a horse to water but you can't make hlni drink. Et tu, apathizers. Let us not condemn a student body for having Taste. I am sure that the cast of "The Sound of Music" would be disappointed if no one attended. I am just as sure that not one actor would regret participating in the . play regardless of the size of the audience. Each of us does a Thing because he wants to; if this is not his purpose, then he is not complete. Granted, that at times we must do some Thing, but this is how the world goes, this is how the world goes: not always forward, but two up and one back. Not for the proud man apart from the raging moon do they act; nor to strut and trade their charms across the ivory stages. One guesses that they give of their time and themselves in answer to some secret question, some common plea. Friday, November 13, 1964 Why Nol SocialiSITI? Dear Editor: I offer my congratulations to the author of "All The Way With LBJ" which appeared in last week 's Beacon. She (or he as the case may be - Ed. Note - she) has pointed out a problem which has rested a long time on the mind of this conservative, and if I do not miss my guess it has weighed heavily in one form or another on the minds of many who do not even consider themselves conservative for fear of being tagged as Goldwaterites or just plain Republicans. The problem is "creeping socialism." I call it a problem because it involves serious doubt in my mind, and I would hope yours too, as to whether it is the proper course for this nation to follow. that it destroys the incentive to work due to the high taxes. It has failed because the decisions of a few political planners are more likely to be in error than the combined judgment of thousands of free merchants, each bargaining for his own best profit and consequently the most effective and efficient combination of resources for all. 2. Socialism will inevitably lead to some type of dictatorship. The proven failure of a socialistic economy always brings further experiments in government which are designed to remedy the failure and only leading to a position which will never allow a return to free enterprise. The only difference between socialism and communism is the degree of control over the individual. One leads to the other, it is only a matter The arguments as to whether or not of degree. our government is actually guilty of this creeping socialism or in what 3.

It is much easier to collect relief than to look for a job, it is easier to have a union force your employer to keep you even though your services are not needed, it is easier to tax those who have achieved and give the difference to the lazy who seem to outnumber the ambitious by ever-increasing numbers each year.

WIikes College force rather than choice by the individuals. While it offers security it eliminates opportunity. It also minimizes the dignity of the individual. NOTICE ' In the next issue 4:>f the BEACON, a new column will be initiated. The theme of this column originated from a book by Wolfgang Kohler called THE PLACE OF VALUE IN A WORLD OF FACTS. The key to Kohler's theme is that he believes a system of morality can be derived by the use of the scientific method. The fault of this theme is that Kohler' often jumps from what is to what ought to be. The new BEACON column will be concerned with the question of morality, i.e. judgments of right and wrong. The first article will be written by Joseph Kanner of the psychology department. He will generally deal with two questions: what is or what should be the function of any moral system, and how does one arrive at a valid moral system7 Keep It Up!

Mr. Evangelista, who is the latest addition to the teaching staff of the College's art department, is also a successful artist. Some of his abstract paintings are now on exhibit in the Scranton and Everhart Museums, and he has two paintings in permanent collections at Kutztown State College and at Pennsylvania State University. When asked if these facets of his two-sided career ever conflict, he replied, "I prefer being an artist-teacher. Through teaching, I am able to influence and inform people, and I am also able to devote time to painting." He enjoys teaching because, "I find I learn a lot from students; they contribute to my betterment as an artist." Although Mr. Evangelista has done some realistic paintings, he prefers abstract art, especially in blue and green shades. The inspiration for most of his works has been his six-year-old daughter. "To me, a snapshot of my daughter is only a visual picture - what she looks like, not what she is or what she does. I paint her actions. This, to me is my daughter." After graduation from college, he taught in Hazleton area schools for eight years before coming to the College. "I like it very much here ," he said. "" It's challenging, stimulating, and satisfying." One of the courses he teaches is silverwork, a new jewE'lry course at the College. He believes that it serves the double purpose of being both functional and artistically gratifying. He sta ted, ""It's an ancient art that really has value today, and fortunately, here at Wilkes, we offer it." On his opinion of modern art in general, Mr. Evangelista stated, "'Any art reflects the era in which it is painted. I think the contemporary approach reflects the times we are living in, with the emphasis on individuality." In his opinion, an artist need not adopt an "'arty " facade to prove that he is an artist. He believes that an attempt of this sort on the artist"s part would tend to turn the layman away from developing any interest in art. ., ~fr.

Committee Urges Cooperation Each organization and dormitory on campus was asked to send a representative to the recent meeting of the Student Activities Committee. The reason for this was to co-ordinate all student activities, combat student apathy, and, especially, to provide a readily accessible forum for complaints and ideas from the student body. COLLEGE Charms - Rings Brooches Miniature Rings and Charm Bracelets FRANK CLARK JEWELER Dianne Alfaro and George Vartlett, co-chairmen of the Committee, wish to emphasize that the entire student body is urged to attend these meetings. Many volunteer members of the Committee have been active in improving the spirit of the student body through posters and letters to the Beacon. The Committee is not asking that the students attend every game, club meeting, or dance , but they do urge that they participate in the activities in which they have an interest. In this way, school spirit would be improved and the campus would become a more stimulating place. •••••••••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••••••••••• Remember: Common Sense is not so common.

Dr. Daniel D etwiler , head of the graduate science program, is in charge of the library because of his capacity in the science department. Graduate students who use the library have a number of periodicals, journals, and books available to them in the fields of chemistry , physics, and biology. Although the library is specifically maintained for graduate students, undergraduates who need sources other than those provided by the main library may use the volumes at this branch library. The library is located at the south end of the second floor in Stark Hall. Dr. Detwiler and the graduate students have keys to th e self-locking door and may use the library whenever they w ish . The library is equipped with a micro- film reader, used by those who wish to make a microfilm copy of material they a re unable to keep for a long period of time. This machine was purchased by the Graduate Science Library in the spring semester of last year. The only possible disadvantage that the library possesses is that of its nearness to Chase Theatre. Approximately two feet from the window of the library appears the roof of this building, obstructing any view from the window. It is hoped that with the building of the new Fine Arts Center and the removal of the present one a finer view will be obtained . The Wilkes College Library is pleased to have a new library secretary , Miss Lois Agostini, who joined the staff this semester. The College library now contains 66,000 books, the 66,000th being Modern Chivalry, by Hugh H . Brackenridge.

The discussion centered in depth studies of both affiirmative and negative techniques, and proper presentation of research material. Also discussed was the matter of rebuttal, so important to a good debater. The highlight of the day came when Lehigh debated Rutgers on the above mentioned topic. The debate gave the novices their first look at an actual college debate. Preparations are underway for Cue 'n Curtain's future production of "The Sound of Music. " The musical will be presented in the lrem Temple auditorium on November 19, 20, and 21. The show is being co-sponsored by the College and the Kiwanis Club.

" This statement, made by Mr. Raymond Nutaitis, new teacher in the College's music department, would perhaps best describe him. Mr. Nutaitis believes it is important to have a range of interests. He says, "An ordinary person just naturally turns to music as a form of relaxation from his other activities. He listens to it on the radio, on records, everywhere. A musician turns to music also. It can be easy for him to fall into a narrow path with no other interest, because his means of relaxation is also his way of life." When asked if this affected him, he replied , " It's been a problem at times." Besides having wavy blondishbrown hair, very blue eyes, and a master 's degree in music, Mr. Nutaitis has an as yet undeveloped interest in art (water colors especially) and photography (slides and 35 millimeter cameras especially.) His office is in Gies Hall, a building which is thoroughly familiar to him, since he attended the College for four y ears and received his Bachelor of Arts degree in music education in 1962. His desk is piled with books, notebooks, and papers. Although there is also a pipe, pipe cleaners, and a package of Red Maple pipe tobacco, he smokes cigarettes (unfiltered) . Across from his desk is a music stand, on which lies a book of etudes printed in Russian for the tuba. the instrument in which he specializes. H e began his musical career by taking piano lessons. His earliest influence was "my father , who played the accordion for thirty years - mostly dance music." After graduating from Hanover Township High School and Wilkes College, Mr. Nutaitis went on to Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York. He said that George Eastman , of Eastman Kodak Company, donated $20,000,000 to the community and told them to build a school for music. "Someone should do that around here, " Mr. Nutaitis laughed. "Gies Hall can be disadvantageous at (Bob Cardillo Photo) RAY NUTAITIS times. It's not designed for music. Ideally , the rooms should be soundproof. But we'll just accept it and wait until something comes around, hopefull y in the near future. You can quote me on that, especially the near future ." On rock 'n' roll, he said, " I consider it music, yes. Now, the worth and the value is something else. It's important in that it provides young people with an outlet. " He paused, and added, "What worries me is that rock 'n roll is basically a very, very simple form of music." He feels that it could be detrimental to a person's cultural development because it might be the only music that he is exposed to during his teen years. H e would have no chance to develop a taste for other music. "This past year, I kind of got attached to some of the Beatles' tunes . . . what's that one?" He hummed a few bars. "A Hard Day's Night," that's it. I really like that. You can quote me on that, too." When asked about folk music, he replied, " I look at it in two different ways. As a human being, I find it catchy and appealing. As a musician, I say that it is not real folk music it's commercialized to sell." Real folk music, he believes, has an anonymous author, has been added onto fer generations , and should be sung by one person with a simple accompaniment on a guitar or banjo. Here he fingered the frets and strings of an imaginary guitar to emphasize his point. Aside from classical music, he en- · joys jazz. "I find it difficult to put any kind of lase! on jazz - modern, progressive , or Dixieland. I think any jazz artist being individual is being modern, although he may be labeled a conservative." After teaching for awhile, Mr. Nu taitis would like to work towards a doctorate, then settle down and teach in a "not too big " liberal arts college, possibly in the Midwest or the Far West. At last week's meeting of the Forum Louis AI~_ert,. a freshman stud~nt, spoke on Votmg Trends and Votmg Blocs." Albert discussed the ways in which people vote and factors that influence them. He also mentioned the "480," a computer system which predicts how the people will vote. A vigorous discussion on this topic followed. The "480" stereotypes all people into one of 480 classifications, SCHOLARSIDP NOTICE Six scholarships, each worth $220, are being offered by Student Government.

The Indians capitalized on Wilkes fumbles an¢-· pass interceptions in defeating the Colonels. Juniata got on the scoreboard in _the first quarter on a 16 yard pass from quarterback Gary Sheppard to end Bob Pascale. Don Corle booted the extra point. The Susquehanna contest entered the last quarter in a 1-1 deadlock. Susquehanna scored their first point in the opening quarter with Wilkes coming back with a goal by Bob Eurich soon after. The scoring lapsed until the last quarter when Susquehanna talleyed for the game deciding goal. The Indians hit the scoreboard once again on a 39 yard field goal by Corle with 10:33 left in the second period. Then with 44 seconds remaining in the half, Sheppard hit Barry . Broadwater in the end zone on a 20 yard pass and Corle converted his third of the afternoon. Juniata came back to score five more times in the second half. The Sheppard~Pascale combination s I i ck e d again, this time for I 9 yards and Corle made it four straight. Following this score, Denis Albright intercepted a Wilkes pass and scampered 42 yards for the score. Corle converted for the PAT. Near the end of the third period, Juniata mc;,ved 33 yards in 6 plays, scoring ff<tll! four yards out on a run by Stevf liorner. Broadwater kicked the extra point. The Indians sent Jim Murdach in as quarterback to replace Sheppard and the freshman signal caller directed Juniata to their seventh score of the afternoon and scoring from the four on a keeper.

Students are reminded that a fee will be required for late registration. Prior to meeting his advisor, each s·udent must pay a $25 tuition deposit at the Finance Office in Parrish Hall. The student must present the receipt to his advisor before he will be allowed to sign the registration forms. Master schedules of the courses to be offered in the spring semester are now available on campus. In order to save time for all concerned, the student should review the master schedule and prepare a tentative program. The advisor's signature, which must appear on the registration form, will make the schedule valid. The College reserves the right to make changes on the master schedule and to balance sections after the comple tion of registration. If a student desires to change his schedule, he must obtain his advisor 's consent in writing and pay an additional course change fee . The approval of the Dean and the department chairman concerned must be secured by a student who is requesting a change of major. Schedules and billing data will be mailed to the students in January. The balance of tuition and other fees must be paid by January 16, 1965, preferably by check or money order. There is a fee assessed for late payment.

Students who fail courses in the fall semester and find it necessary to repeat them can make final schedule changes on January 28 at the gym between 2 p .m. and 4 p.m. Last week four members of the Beacon staff, Alis Pucilowski , Linda Edwards, Ruth Partilla, and David Stout, attended the Associated Collegiate Press Convention at the Conrad Hilton Hotel in Chicago, Illinois. A total of I 105 students attended, representing 41 states, Washington, D. C., and Canada, 324 colleges and universities, 516 publications, 608 papers, 447 yearbooks, and 50 magazines. At the convocation Mr. Frank Eyerly, nationally known journalist and editor in Minnesota, opened the convention. His topic concerned trends in newspaper writing with specific attention paid to campus editions. Mr. Eyerly said that a generation ago flabby journalism reigned supreme. Between World Wars I and II little news in college papers concerned political and economic problems. Today, however, there is more communication in our society. There may be, he said, a problem of "over-communication," in which case editing becomes a game of musical chairs. That is, the editor is often faced with the problem of not knowing "whom to seat."

Students are asked to dress casually ... and advised to dress WARMLY. 11& Hosts Manuscript Film Starr!ng Fernandel The Manuscript films will return to Stark 116 tonight with the presentation of The Little World of Don Camillo, starring French comedian Fernande!. It is the story of a lively, human, charming village priest battling in his own unusual way the Communist mayor (played by Gino Cervi) of the town. It tells how he outmaneuvers him , sometimes gets into trouble , but always battles for both the spiritual and physical welfare of his flock . Don Camillo is played by Fernande!, whom many critics consider to be one of the three greatest comedians of all time, along with Cantinflas and Charlie Chaplin. He is considered to be the comedian of French theater , and is the biggest box office attraction in France today. Through personal contacts, the students exchanged many valuable ideas about other school newspapers. Many other clues toward more effective collegiate newspapers were obtained at meetings. Avant-garde headlining asserts that it is proper to have a seemingly larger headline than a story set in such a way that the difference is not perceptible. Make-up has, in the past five years, been moving towards a "horizontal" style; that is, more material runs across the page than down. Bigger Pictures It has likewise been the opmmn of the delegates at this convention that pictures should be bigger and sharper. In the future the BEACON intends to make full use of the artistry of Bob Cardillo, its "ace" photographer. At the discussion dealing with form and content of editorials, the delegates proposed that each newspaper include in its policy a statement whereby news of international importance might be commented upon. The BEACON has, in the past, taken a stand on such issues as the Cuban invasion, the Warren Report, and has, in thi-s issue, endorsed a political candidate for President.

Last week-end the first intercollegiate hootenanny for the term was held at the gym. This event was sponsored by the Five College Council. An exceptionally good turnout of approximately one thousand students made the F.C.C.'s first 64-65 endeavor a complete success. Throughout the year other such hootenannies will be sponsored in various gyms. The F.C.C. will also be active in bringing independent college events to the attention of the five area colleges. �Friday, October 30, 1964 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 "The Spy Who Came In" EDITORIAL WE ENDORSE Dear Editor: During the past few months the American public has wit- I have often wondered what transpires behind the hallowed doors of the Beacon office during the hectic night prior to publication.

From the Last week I had the dubious honor of being present on that fateful night, and for the benefit of those whose beginning of the primaries until now, charges and countercuriosity is as rampant as mine was, I shall now relate that experience. charges have filled the air.

Our hard-working lady editor, Miss Alis Pucilowski, was busily engrossed with another staff member in Our choice for President is based upon the issues of nuclear what appeared to be a scene from "Lady Chatterley's Lover." (Ed. note - Tropic of Cancer) Over in one corner a group of "staff" members had gathered and were engaged in something reminiscent of policy, foreign policy, role of the federal government in civil the fertility dance of the Laturka tribe. (Ed . note - Kwakiutl tribe) rights, aii.d domestic programs. Senator Barry Goldwater advocates nuclear authority for the NATO Supreme Commander. President Lyndon Johnson maintains it should be the responsibility of the President to initiate the use of nuclear weapons. Senator Goldwater changes his stand on the United Nations weekly. President Johnson maintains it is the best conceived method yet devised to deal with international problems. WE ENDORSE PRESIDENT JOHNSON. Senator Goldwater implies the necessity of a federal police force to combat crime and juvenile delinquency, while he disavows federal authority to enter into the civil rights cases. While President Johnson advocates increased efforts in combatting crime and juvenile delinquency, he has not proposed a federal police force to patrol streets to combat local crime. WE SUPPORT PRESIDENT JOHNSON. Domestic economic programs is another area of disagreement. Senator Goldwater does not favor federal aid. President Johnson has favored programs giving aid, loans, and matching grants. These programs include ARA, which has played a major role ih the redevelopment of the valley and the development of our ca'mpus. WE SUPPORT PRESIDENT JOHNSON. Senator Goldwater has sought to offer the people a choice in this election. From the comments of voters it is evident that this is not the choice wanted in most areas. Many voters are not in favor of one candidate, rather they are against the other. On the issues of the campaign, the BEACON endorses the election of President Lyndon B. Johnson. At the same time it is our hope that the many good Republican candidates ( conservative, moderate, and liberal) will not suffer defeat on the basis of their party's Presidential candidate. Eventually, upon the entrance of a seasoned "staff" member, we were treated to an exhibition of Judo technique, or at least some of the more basic elements. The main consternation of the evening seemed to center around the inability of anyone to produce a headline for the article on Homecoming. Poor Ruth Partilla just sat there in a complete dither bemoaning her sad state of affairs, since this seemed to be her assignment. Meanwhile, between orgies and various appraisals of the physical characteristics (muscle content) of men , including actual tactile evaluation, Miss Pucilowski barked orders to the " group-at-large." A group which included Misses Edwards, Partilla, and Pucilowski (in alphabetical order) busily discussed essential !~ems relating to the Chicago press conference. Monumental decisions as to clothing apparel, "will it clash ... ? , and accessories took place. Joseph Klaips sat quietly to one side, perhaps contemplating some major doom for all present, or maybe just analyzing the situation, which was in dire need of analysis by a "qualified professional." (Ed. note Steve Gavala) Occasionally a character known as " Peggy Cass" would dart in, issue some profound statement or emotional outcry or proceed to threaten someone, and then disappear as suddenly as she had entered. Marshall Evans contributed his usual belligerency, refusing, among other things, to write a letter to the editor unless he was given sufficient space. (Ed. note - 21 inches) The tenseness and excitement of the evening seemed to be building up to fever pitch as everyone anxiouiily, awaited the appearance of the vern1r'.:. able "Mr. Softee." As the natives became increasingly restless, their chant was heard originating from the back room - "Mr. Softee . . . " - to the tune of the jingling bells. Then, all at once, this divine emissary appeared, and the mass exodus began. The revolt of the natives was in full swing and This is Old Town, Chicago.

Editorial and business offices located at Pickering Hall 201, 181 South Franklin Street, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania on the Wilkes College campus. SUBSCRIPTION: $2.50 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 individuals. Offsetting this attitude are the dormitories that achieved 100% cooperation and those that far surpassed this goal. The students' cooperation, on the whole, coupled with the efforts of their I.D.C. representatives, manifested itself in the amassing of almost 90% of the desired goal for the dormitory students. This, however, was not the case with the day students. While the apathy displayed by the dorm students was confined to one dormitory and a few individuals, the apathetic attitude of the day students was the rule, not the exception. With the exception of a minority of students who fulfilled their obligations, the overall showing of the " day-hops" was minimal. Four hundred and fifty dormitory students contributed more than twice the amount of the 1100 day students. It seems quite ironic that these are the same day students that complain about the lack of unity on campus - the lack of rapport between day ·and dorm students. They were not a part of the college effort in this drive, yet they expect to be considered a part of school in other areas. Let tangible evidence, not meaningless words, convey the attitude of these individuals. One can discuss "ad infinitum" the amount of apathy displayed _ everyone by now has had his fill of this subject _ but can one do anything about it? NO!! One person alone cannot, but perhaps if everyone who has been satiated with this subject to the brink of despair would unite and do somethin(I about it, another " United Fund Episode" would be avoided. Thatcher Tips Hat Dear Editor: I am writing this letter to express my thanks to all the Wilkes students who volunteered to aid in registering those who attended the annual meeting of the Pennsylvania Historical Assoc iation recently. I wish especially to compliment those who were on the firing line when the going was heaviest. The skill and efficiency with which they handled an unfamiliar and difficult job was impressive and most commendable. Their aid was greatly appredated by the committee on local arrangements. I should also like to take this opportunity to express the appreciation of the committee to the Commons em- ployees who served the refreshments in the faculty lounge on Friday afternoon and to Mrs. Nada Vujica and her assistants who arranged the display of Pennsylvania books in the lounge at that time.

Stephen Gavala �Friday, October 30, 1964 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Cox. Farrar: The Great Debate Spooks Ride MarkTwainCastsPearlsolWisdom Button Your At a recent assembly, Dr. Harold Cox and Mr. Welton Farrar debated on the merits of the presidential candidates. Mr. Farrar pointed out that in Goldwater's campaign there is a departure from the type of campaign that gave Dwight Eisenhower success and nearly put Richard Nixon in the presidential office. He then went on to define the "radical right." Mr. Farrar said that the execution of Goldwater's foreign policy would have made a more dangerous situation of such political crises as the invasion of Cuba and the Hungarian revolution. Furthermore, he stated that Goldwater's domestic policy is a departure from the accepted principles of Democrats and most Republicans because it does not have provisions for broadening social security and civil rights. In his opening_ statements, Dr. Cox stated that from a military aspect, the qualifications of Goldwater were superior to those of Johnsons because of Goldwater's military experience. In the field of domestic policy, Dr. Cox asserted that Goldwater advocated measures that would allow for less centralization of power in the hands of the national government. He emphasized the fact that the change in Russian government demands that the United States show a more "judicious suspicion" towards the Russians as is advocated by Goldwater. The present administration, he felt , maintains a more "friendly" attitude. SMITH ON MARK TWAIN At Thursday 's assembly the College will be entertained by GeorgeWilliam Smith, famous for his performance of "An Evening with Mark Twain." Dr. Smith is a graduate of Hamline and Northwestern Universities. As a professional actor, he has portrayed leading roles in over 175 plays. Since he took part in the Mark Twain Memorial Birthplace Shrine in Florida, Missouri, June 5, 1960, Dr. Smith has been portraying Twain and he intends to devote the entire 1964-1965 season to the lecture platform. He is under the management of the Redpath Bureau, the same agency that booked the original Mark Twain many years ago. Dr. Smith appears in a white suit and white mustache and wig , leans on the lectern, and entertains the audience with timeless words of the great humorist. His imitation is so great that one person who had seen the original Twain in the early I 900's thought it was the original gentleman re-incarnated. Dr. Smith is planning a coast-to-coast tour which will start in the East and take him through the southwest to Los Angeles and San Francisco. He will then return to Virginia City, Salt Lake City, Denver, and Chicago. When one hears Dr. Smith, Twain's marvelous and original humor is evident. Twain was more than a humorist, he was as Albert Bigelow Paine said, "a great writer, a great philosopher, a great man . . . the supreme expression of the human being, with every strength and weakness." Among the list of folk heroes, Twain rates only a little below Lincoln. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Boston Bibliophile Inquires Toga - Lock Your Chariot by Helen Dugan Tomorrow is the long-awaited day.

BUTLER HALL TOPS DORMITORY LEAGUE IN I M COMPETITION In the Dormitory Division of the Intramural Football League, last year's championship Barre squad proved to be too much for the newly grouped Hollenback team. Evan Evans was the offensive standout for Barre , scoring 12 points. Quarterback James Dunn also played a good game for the winners. Hollenback's lone touchdown was scored by Bob Vanderoeff. The fina\ score was 37-7. In the: Independent Division, the Simple S\X: defeated the Barons 26-19 in a seesaw battle which saw the rugged Simple Six defense hold up under pressure. The Simple Six were led by the brilliant catching of Zoborski and Sharoh, while Lebowitz scored 2 touchdowns for the Barons. The Colonel log is now 0-2-5 as they pass the halfway mark in conference competition. The hooters have five games remai ning in which to produce a win.

Susquehanna (score unavailable) , and letter from The Editor Returning to the thoughts expressed in a Line-Up column of some weeks ago, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the football team and Coach Schmidt. Unfortunately, we have been faced with an obvious space problem the last few weeks and regret that room was not available to do justice to the squad for its fine showing against Ursinus. The victory proved that Wilkes has what it takes to be a top contender in the Middle Atlantic Conference. Perhaps the Colonels will begin to show their power more often and defeat the attitude which I feel is largely responsible for the mediocrity of the last few seasons. However the fortunes of the team evolve, I feel the team deserves the congratulations herein. I was impressed and would like to once more give the team a hearty , "Well done ." Clark Line, Sports Editor On Wednesday an outweighed YMCA squad scored a surprising upset over the big Gore team. A safety and 2 touchdowns accounted for all of the points. The final score was 14-6. The Impalas, of the Independent League, controlled the ball throughout most of the game, but the Mets, nevertheless, were able to squeeze a last minute score to tie the game at 6-6. Morgan led the Impala attack while the Mets used many different playmakers. In the final game of the week, Butler Hall gained its second win of the season and took sole possession of first place in the Dormitory League with a 22-6 decision over Hollenback.

Farley at halftime. Queen Cathy and princesses Mary Russin and Josephine Signorelli Russin were honored with a kiss from Dr. Farley and congratulations from the capacity crowd that attended the game. Miss DeAngelis received a gift certificate from Student Government, a charm bracelet from the Beacon staff, and a rose bouquet from th e classes of '65, '66, and '67. Presentations of the awards for the outstanding dormitory and organizational Hom ecoming displays were then made by Len Mulcahy, president of the Alumni Association. An alumni committee consisting of five members chose the winning displays for their respective categories. For the second consecutive year, Weckesser Hall won the trophy for the best women's dormitory display, and capped the title of the best over-all display with their appropriate theme "Cubweb the Bears." This intricate ropeweb, covering the entire front lawn of Weckesser Hall, had "caught" the miniature Ursinus football players. The colorful "Big Wilkes" Colonel, built by the men of Dennison Hall, won the best men's dormitory award. The threes:ory Colonel cho!ced an Ursinus Bear in one hand and a Lycoming Warrior in the other. The Education Club rec~ived the best organizational display award. The title of their display was "Cage the Bears," and appeared next to the College Library on South Street. The award for the best-decorated car in the parade, which was also chosen by the alumni committee, went to Simon Russin. Accompanying and also complementing the decorated cars were the colorful antique cars, which were engaged through the efforts of John Lore, general chairman of Homecoming, who carefully executed every aspect of the Homecoming activities. Queen Cathy then selected the winners of the Annu 1l Lettermen's Scholarship Raffle. Following the presentations, the kickline and the majorettes, accompanied by the College Band, displayed their special Homecoming routines. The bonfire on Friday night was a great success, due to the combined effort s of Jerri Jean Baird, Diane Alfaro, and their committees. Saturday evening's activities included a dinner-dance for undergraduates, arranged by Grace Jones, Charlotte Wetzel. and Marshall Evans, and decora ted by Sylvia Dysleski. The alumni, on the other hand , were entertained in the Alexander Room of the Hos t Motel. Vol. XXIV, No. 5 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 23, 1964 Sophs Plan Day . D0rm Weekend BEACON 1 by Irene M. Norkaitis The sophomore class, under the direction of Hermon George, is sponsoring a Day-Dorm Weekend to strengthen the relationship between the day student and the dorm student. It will give the day student a chance to experience life on campus, and the dorm student will have the opportunity to be part of a family for a day. This project originated last year when George, candidate for president of the freshman class, used the idea for such a weekend as a major campaign issue. Although he was defeated in the election , a Day-Dorm Committee consisting of five day students and five dorm students, with George as chairman, was appointed. Because the spring semester was nearly completed, the project was postponed until this semester. Now that the fall semester has started, the committee has arranged for all interested sophomore day students to spend the weekend of October 30-3 1 in the dormitories. Following dinner in the Commons, the students may attend the Manuscript film, The Little World of Don Camillo, which will be presented in Stark 116, and the entertainment which has been panned to follow the film. Saturday morning will be reserved for much-needed sleep mi ssed the night before or for doing chores in the dorm. After lunch in the Commons, the football game featuring JunStudents wishing to apply for the iata vs. Wilkes will be nex t on the National Defense Student Loan to be agenda.

SENDS REPRESENTATIVES Johnson Victory TO CHICAGO PRESS CONFERENCE by Sheryl Napoleon Predicted ly Poll President Lyndon Johnson amassed an impressive victory over Senator Barry Goldwater during the recent political poll conducted by the Intercoll egiate Conference on Government. Johnson gleaned 69 percent of the total vote cast as compared with 22 percent for Goldwater and nine percent remaining non-committal. To carry this a bit further, for any political bulfs, an analysis of the percentages of Republicans, Democrats, and lndependents voting for each of the candidates will be given. Ninety-two percent of the Democrats voted for Johnson, four percent for Goldwater, and three percent remained noncommittal. Goldwater captured 47 percent of the Republican vote, Johnson 40 percent and the remaining 13 percent remained noncommittal. The Independents cast 70 percent of their votes for Johnson, ten percent for Goldwater , and 20 percent non-committal. Results of the other balloting revealed a close vote in both the Pennsylvania Senatorial race and the Wilkes-Barre area representative race. Miss Genevieve Blatt received 41 percent of the vote as compared with Hugh Scott's 59 percent. Brockman squeezed through with a 54 to 46 victory over his opponent O'Brien. The business of the convention began with the Convocation last night at 7:30. Today the delegates will attend meetings where they will discuss such items as layouts and reporting in depth. Max Schulman 's appearance as guest speaker at tomorrow 's banquet will climax the three-day scholastic publication workshop.

SG PLANS HOOT FOR TOMORROW ROYALTY TAKES TO THE FIELD In the New York Senatorial race Robert Kennedy eased to a two to one victory over incumbent Senator Kenneth Keating, defea ting him 63 percent to 37 percent. A breakdown of the campus into poli :ical parties produced approximately 47 percent Democrats, 38 percent Republicans , and 15 percent Independents. The results are tabulated, but only time will tell how the College voters compare with the national voting scene. A further evaluation of the presidential candidates, as seen through the eyes of Wilkes students, can be secured by consulting the Beacon survey of the students presidential preference , located on page two: Homecoming queen Cathy DeAngelis and her court were presented with flowers at their crowning, which took place last Saturday during halftime of the victorious football game against Ursinus. Pictured above are the Homecoming court and their escorts, from left to right: Michael Russin and Princess Jo Signorelli Russin, Chuck Freed and Queen Cathy, and Louis Szabados and Princess Mary Russin. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Friday, October 23, 1964 LETTERS TO TBE EDITOR EDITORIAL Well Done Too often individuals are hesitant to put forth any effort in assisting with a project because they do not feel that their efforts will be recognized. And it may well be that we will not receive individual recognition, but the sooner we realize the importance of group, rather than individual effort, the sooner we will be assured of success in all undertakings. Beacon Slanted Dear Editor: Just one question - how soon can we expect the Beacon to endorse President Johnson? It would seem, from your columns, to be almost imminent. I have been following your fatuous Campaign Comment, and have come to the conclusion that it surely must be completely tongue-in-cheek; no intelligent student could possibly come to the same inane conclusions that ·your 'political' writers do. ·· This group effort idea was, we are sure, instrumental in the success of Homecoming Weekend, one of the most significant weekend~ of the College year. Not only were individuals willing to work together, but organizations also contributed their time and energies to insure the success of this project. To these individuals goes the long overdue credit to which they are entitled, and in extending this credit, it is our hope that others will assume the attitude exemplified by these students. -----------------WHAT •WHERE• WHEN Faculty Seminar - Dr. Hugo Mailey - FACULTY LOUNGE - tonight, 7:45 p.m. Dance - Radio Club, Junius Society - GYM p.m. As a transfer student, I find it most discouraging to find that the Beacon is dedicated to mis-representing the views of this campus; or does it presume that there are only Liberal-Democrats at Wilkes?

Ursinus took the opening kickoff and returned the ball to the 27. On the first play from scrimmage Ursinus bobbled th e ball and Ralph Hendershot pounced on it for the Colonels. It took only eight plays for the Wilkesmen to score with Gary Popovich blasting through the center of the Ursinus line for the six pointer. Len Rishkofski split the uprights for the seventh point. On the kickoff Ursinus fumbled again ; this time Jim Drager recovered the ball for the Colonels. The threat ended, however, when the Wilkesmen gave up the ball on downs. Midway in the second quarter the Colonels moved down to the Ursinus 15. Paul Purta took the handoff from Tom Trosko, momentarily fumbled , picked it up , and raced for the goal line.

INTRAMURAi. FOOTBALi. Butler Hall won a hard fought struggle over Miner Hall in the dormitory division of the intramural football league by a score of 7-0. The game was decided in the 2nd quarter on a long touchdown pass from Bill Tinney to Dennis Quigley . The extra point was added by Pete Galderman. Leon Obrzut and John Cavalini each scored twice as the Roadrunners trampled the Transfers 40-0 in the Ind ependent Division. Teams are asked to check their schedules for next week's games. by I. Jones Smith Nearing the halfway mark of the season, the Wilkes hooters are winless. Last Saturday the Lycoming Warriors turned up a 4-2 margin to down the Colonels. The Colonels MAC log is now 0-5. with 7 games remaining. Wilkes succumbed to Lycoming in the last quarter, much in the same pattern of past games. Early in the 1st quarter Lycoming scored in a fast play. Wilkes evened it in the 2nd as the Colonels scored on a goal by Bob Eurich. The score stood 1-1 at the half. The 2nd half began to the Colonels' advantage when Rich Beck countered on a quick play. The Warriors came back with a goal making it 2-2 at the end of the 3rd quarter. The last stanza proved to be illfated for the Colonels. Lycoming countered twice, taking advantage of the Colonels slacking rein. Lycoming held the margin until the final gun. Rain made a hazard of the playing field and curbed many Colonels goal attempts. The field is slanted and has a pitched mound at one end. This, along with the mud , made playing difficult. The Colonels will have to fight hard to even their record season. M.uhlenberg was host to the Colonels last Wednesday ( the score was not available for this issue). Tomorrow the Flying Dutchmen of Hofstra host Wilkes. Both Muhlenberg and Hofstra were lower in the standing last season than was Wilkes, so the Colonels may pick up a few wins. •••••••••••••••••••••••• One Block Below Campus On the first lap John Surtees, driving a Ferrari , shot into lead only to have Cla_rk, driving a Lotus, take over on the twelfth lap. Clark set a terrific pace until the 44 lap when his car began having ignition trouble. Graham Hill in a 1;3~M took the lead on the 45 lap and kept it until the end , finishing about thirty seconds ahead of Surtees. · Clark had changed cars with his teammate, Mike Spence, also driving a Lotus and was still running third near the end when his second car of the day faltered and he was forced into the pits to stay. Out of a field of nineteen cars starting, eight cars finished. Graham Hill added nine points to his thirty-two points giving him forty-one , thus confirming for the championship . Surtees is second with thiry-four and Clark remains with thirty points. There is only the Mexican Grand Prix left and even if Clark did win , Hill would still have more points. • •• • • •• • • •• • • • • • •• • • • • • • •• • • • • • • •• •• • • •• • • •• • •• • • • STUDENT PRICES Get An "A" In Preparedness at your OFF-CAMPUS BOOKSTORE COMPLETE line of school supplies DEEMEB'S • TOP QUALITY WILKES-BARRE 6 WEST MARKET STREET • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • o• • • • • • • • • • • .;~~ •. •: • •· - _:: P,·<.t· ✓,.,..' ...... .. , ...

Fellowships Offered; Deadline November 1 by Vicki Tatz Students who plan to teach on the college level should be aware of two fellowships that are available to them. The Woodrow Wilson Fellowship F o u n d a t i o n offers one thousand scholarships to college seniors or graduates. Although these scholarships are chiefly awarded for work in the humanities and social sciences, science students are also eligible. The fellowship pays all fees plus an eighteen hundred dollar living stipend. Students must be recommended by the faculty to Dean George Ralston, who then sends the recommendation to a regional representative. The latter then communicates with the nominee. be taken to decide the locale for future films. At the Theodore Bike! concert last Saturday night, approximately 1500 people were present, with a net profit of between seven and eight hundred dollars. Of this amount, Student Government will receive at least one hundred and forty dollars. The profits from the concert will be used to establish a concert fund to provide for future emergencies. Student Government and I.D.C. are making arrangements for an election night party at the Commons allowing dormitory students to follow election returns. John Cavallini is in charge of preparations for that night. A car caravan will leave from Butler Hall at 6:45 p.m., Friday night.

Sloppe Once upon a time there were two little pigs ( the other one is in the other story) who were corralled in a pen situated in front of a cafeteria. Along came a big, black, hairy wolf, and wanted to spar with one little pig. However, as in epic tales of old, the gods decided to spare the little pig and give it wings. The big, black, hairy wolf took one look at the little pig and said: Well, every pig has its day. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 LETIERS TO THE EDITOR THANK YOU MADE OR BORN?

Or was it faculty members like Mr. Gutin and Mr. Thomas who attended the affair? Maybe it was Mr. Frank Burnside, a member of the board of trustees at the College, who let us borrow the follow spot from Irem Temple. But it was Mr. Al Groh who told us where lights were available. Then there was Millie at the Bookstore who took seat reservations. Was it people like Ron Grohowski who came into the gym and asked what he could do to help? Or was it Mr. Hoover? Maybe it was Ed Lipinski, who worked two nights setting up the lighting. It could have been Mr. Gasbarro who kept a threequarter bass available throughout the entire performance. I'd like to express a sincere thank On March 26, 1962, in Baker vs. Carr, the Supreme Court of the United States, by a vote of 6-2, held that citiyou to everyone who helped to make zens whose votes in elections of state legislatures are "diluted" (made less influential than those of other citizens by the Theodore Bike) concert a success. malapportionment of districts) can seek and obtain relief in federal courts.

Because the concert was arranged through an agency, Wilkes will derive the benefit of 20% of the net profit. -H~wever, now that we know what can be done on our own, the next concert will be arranged directly through the entertainer's manager in order to cut out the 80% middleman. I have been asked to comment on these decisions. Since I have not been able as yet to study the opinions in these cases as carefully as their importance warrants, I am not prepared at the present time to take a final stand in regard to them. On the basis of my knowledge of our previous constitutional history , however, I can make a few more or less random ?l>servations which may help to stimulate thought and discussion of these momentous decisici1]1'· Let me say at the start that I think these decisions are good for the nation as a whole. There is no reason w~~ the preponderant political power of the rural areas of the country, achieved in a period when the majority of Americans were farmers, should be carried over into an era in which the rural population is very definitely a minority and in which the problems of the farmer are being pushed into the background by more pressing problems of our increasingly complex industrial civilization. Yet, because of the refusal, frequently in violation of their own laws and constitutions, of state legislatures dominated by rural politicians to reapportion representation, the rural voters have Plans are now being made for the been able to retain political power out of all proportion to their numbers. Quite obviously this is unjust in our twenspring concert which will be held on tieth-century democratic society. Just as obviously there could be no reform via legislation as long as state legislatures were dominated by rural politicians. An impasse had developed: no possibility of reform without reapportionment; no Saturday, May 8. possibility of reapportionment by rural dominated legislatures. This Gordian knot has been cut by the Supreme Thank you once again for your Court's decisions; or, to use another metaphor, its decisions have by-passed the impasse.

STUDENTS FOR L.B.J. ORGANIZE Wilkes College chapter of "Young Citizens for Johnson" will meet in Conyngham 103, Tuesday , October 20 at 11 a .m. Students interested in joining the campaign for the JohnsonHumphrey ticket are invited to attend. Perhaps you've been wondering what .. A Summer Place" means. It is a place in a man 's heart, a man 's thoughts, a man's art. The man - Bob Smith. The thought - of a wonderful summer. The art - the result of the thought and the man. Signs advertising "A Summer Place" have been fluttering around campus all week. The purpose of these signs is to announce an art show consisting of 20 to 25 works done by Smith, a sophomore art major from New York City. He has been a self-made artist for the past five years and has sold numerous works in New York, New Jersey, and Florida. Smith has also been commissioned to design "The Cellar Door, " a new coffee house opening on South Main Street. According to Smith, " the display promises a show unique in itself." His choice of topic was prompted by the fact that the majority of the work on the display was done this past summer in Ogunquit, Maine. Working in a quiet seashore village in southern Maine gave Smith the opportunity to roam along its rugged coast. Ogunquit and its surrounding area offered him endless sources of inspiration. The show will be held in Conyngham Annex, October 20-25 during the following times: Monday through Friday from 12 until 5 p .m. , Saturday from 1 until 4 p .m. , Friday and Saturday nights from 7 until 10 p.m. All works on display are for sale with the price range from one dollar to fifty dollars. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 8cJtcn 8i6/icpAile Jtrf(UiHJ telephone calls, typing, posting signs, urging registered voters to vote, and baby-sitting on Election Day.

The Colonels came on the light end of the 28-8 score. Ted Travis-Bey took the opening kick-off and snakehipped his way to the Wilkes 31 before being brought down. Rich Roshong then ri~ed a pass to Ron Grohowski for 18-yard gain. On the next play Roshi:mg carried the ball to the Upsala 42. Gary Popovich barreled his way to the Upsala 26. Roshong tried to complete the TD pass play to Roger MacLauchlin only to have it intercepted in the end zone by Lou Checchetto. Upsala took the ball on the 20 and began to drive. Fourteen plays later Vikings ' sophomore quarterback, Joe Valenzano, crashed into the Wilkes end-zone on a 7 -yard quarterback keeper. After an off-sides penalty against Wilkes, Tom Papa ran the two point conversion. Wilkes took the hall , but was forced to punt. Upsala drove to the Wilkes 20 before being stopped and tried an unsuccessful field goal. In the second quarter Ted TravisBey intercepted an Upsala pass on the Wilkes 6. Four plays later the Wilkes attack bogged down. Bill Schneider attempted to punt only to have it blocked by Dave Brenner of Upsala. The Vikings took over on the three. Two plays later Valenzano smashed in for the six point tally. The PAT was no good. Uosala got its next break when Wilkes fumbled near midfield. Viking, Phil Huhn, recovered. V alenzano hit Tom Olivadotti with a 32-yard pass. Rich Davis scored Upsala 's third TD from the 15. The PAT was good. The third quarter was a stalemate with neither side able to score or able to put together a sustained drive. In the fourth quarter Dick Giessuebel intercepted a Wilkes pass. Papa picked up good yardage. Lou Checchetto connected with Ed Smith on the one-yard line. Tom Papa smashed in for the Viking score. Checchetto connected with Roger Caruso for the two point conversion. The Colonels hit paydirt late in the game. Tom Trosko tore into the end-zone after a short Upsala point. Trosko then fired a pass to Ted Travis-Bey for the final score of the day. Outstanding for the Colonels was Ted Travis-Bey grinding out 107 yards on four carries for an average of 26.8 yards per carry. ~p MacLAUCHLIN BREAKS UP UPSALA BID by David Dugan Despite big upsets last week, I picked 15 right and 6 wrong to bring my season total to 45 right and 15 wrong for a percentage of .750.

WILKES PARENTS' WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Vol. XXIV, No. 3 CAMPAIGN COMMENT BOLE or DEATH OF APATHY CABINET . -- -·• •w by Marshall Evans The present Presidential campaign has had much attention devoted to charges and answers by the cabinet, questions on the activity and policies of individual cabinet members. Senator Barry Goldwater and Representative William Miller have evidently decided that the two Democratic candidates, Lyndon Johnson and Hubert Humphrey, do not offer enough opposition. They have decided to bring other members of the cabinet into the campaign, particularly Defense Secretary Robert MacNamara and Secretary of State Dean Rusk. President Johnson has obliged his opposition by using every cabinet official to his advantage. This aspect of the campaign was in particular evidence last week when two members of the cabinet were in Wilkes-Barre at the same time, addressing two different dinners. This reporter obtained brief but exclusive interviews with both of these cabinet officers. On October 19, the Postmaster General will appear in Wilkes-Barre, and efforts will be made to obtain an exclusive interview with him also. ~ ~ Secretary of Commerce Luther Hodges was in Wilkes-Barre to address the textile worker's and manufacturer's annual dinner. Mr. Hodges' central theme was to explain the condition of our economy. He also explained how commerce in the United States has expanded, unparalleled in history, during the present administration. This is his role, to present to business and labor communities, a beautiful picture of our economy. When asked to comment on William Miller's recent statement in regard to the low tariff, (Mr. Miller indicated an advocacy of a protectionistic tariff), Secretary Hodges commented, "Mr. Miller is running for office in an 1864 society. This shows the American public how uninformed he really is in this area." Secretary Hodges further stated that our commerce is at such a good point due in part to our tariff policies. Secretary Hodges responded to a question concerning international trade and the Wyoming Valley Area by stating, "While the area for trade is very limited, efforts to take advantage of this area are being made. European countries are excellent markets for the area 's coal because of the price difference. American textiles were widely admired for their quality at an exhibition in Europe which I recently attended." Stewart Udall, Secretary of the Interior, appeared at the Wilkes-Barre Democratic Dinner to deliver a political speech. Mr. Udall played a major role in the Kennedy campaign during 1960. His speech was of two main thoughts. He spoke of the many ways his department has aided this area, due to the efforts of Congressman Daniel Flood. He also used every opportunity to attack Senator Goldwater and his views. I The junior class will sponsor a hayride for class members only on Friday , October 9, at 8 p.m. A car caravan to the El Pocono Dude Ranch will leave from Parrish parking lot between 7:00 and 7:30 p .m. Plans for the evening, as stated by Hank Edwards, chairman, include a hootenanny and an unlimited food supply. Those who own guitars are urged to bring them. Tickets for the affair may be purchased for $2.99 per couple. Farley Emphasizes 'Quest of Meaning' by Vicki Tatz At last week 's assembly Dr. Eugene When asked whether he expected to play a similar major role in this election, Secretary Udall responded: "I hope to. I think it will be of similar Farley spoke on the quest for meannature. " Questioned on whether the Supreme Court should be an issue in ing.

It seems he made one mistake by taking on Johnson's tion. and confusion. cabinet, and he now seeks to gain help from " his cabinet." Richard Nixon is "Secretary of State." Perhaps Senator Goldwater will appoint Governor Rockefeller as U. N. Ambassador, Governor Scranton as Secretary of Treasury, George Romney as Secretary of Defense, Milton Eisenhower as Chief of CIA. We may also look forward, perhaps, to Governor Wallace as his Attorney General and when Chief Justice Earl Warren resigns, William Knowland may well head the Supreme Court. To top his appointments off, he might appoint Huntley and Brinkley as Presidential press secretaries. Now Senator Goldwater has decided to send General Eisenhower, Admiral Burke, Dr. Judd and others to Viet Nam to find a solution to that problem. Why , Senator? General Eisenhower remarked while in office that should fighting ever come again, he would yield to younger men who have experience in modern field strategy. Granted, Senator, that advice on foreign policy would be highly useful; however, to ask them to endure the physical strain required by a trip to Viet Nam from these men at their advance stages is RIDICULOUS! In his effort to gain votes Senator Goldwater may have started a new trend in Presidential elections, that of announcing appointments during the campaign preceding the election. In effect people would vote for the entire "team." This indeed warrants study; however, Senator Goldwater's suggestion to send distinguished elder statesmen to a country where guerilla warfare exists demands further explanation from Senator Goldwater. In the struggle against Communism, it would be more effective to strengthen our own system than to oppose Communism with military might. Our greatest assets are our ideals and our institutions, and we should develop them to their fullest capacity as an example to the world . All men, no matter how different their respective cultures may be, have common aspirations. In the midst of our own process of adjusting, we should be able to sympathize with the greater problems of the less advanced peoples. Our social conscience should motivate us to bridge the cultural gap. A respect for differences and an understanding heart can help too. It is the responsibility of students to prepare themselves for the task of reducing conflict and misunderstanding. Friday, October 9, 1964 PARENTS REIGN ON CAMPUS; HIKEL CONCERT HIGHLIGHT The Second Annual Parents' Day will be marked tomorrow, October 10. The purpose of the affair is to offer the parents an opportunity to acquaint themselves with the College, its campus, its faculty members and administration. First on the list of the activities for the day is Registration, which will be held in the cafeteria lounge from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a .m. Following Registration the parents will have time to visit places of interest on campus. In order to facilitate their tours, student guides will be available to accommodate them. All buildings will be open and faculty members will be in their offices for consultation. The Wilkes soccer team will oppose FDU-Madison at the Wilkes Athletic Field at 10 a.m. After the soccer game the parents will attend a buffet luncheon, which will be served at the College gym. Dr. Farley will be the featured speaker at the luncheon. Following the luncheon, a football game in which Wilkes opposes Upsala is the next activity on the agenCollege Rearranges da.

An entire Boor of the YMCA has been secured to house 43 male residents. In addition, six men are living on the third Boor of the Carlisle home on 224 South Franklin Street. The latter two facilities are only temporary arrangements. In the spring, the College hopes to begin construction of a new men's dormitory capable of housing 250 students. Thus, many of the male students will be accommodated in this new dorm. Some of the present men's dorms will later be occupied by women students; the older buildings will probably be razed. Concerning the growing resident population, Dean George Ralston emphasized that " the College is not interested in growth, as such, but in growing with qualified students." He also added that this growth would probably be concentrated in the area of dorm students. Last year's female resident populaTheodore Bikel tion occupied eight dorms.

EDITORIALS PLEASE We were led to believe that one of the purposes for changing the scene of the MANUSCRIPT movie from Stark 116 to the gym was to accommodate the influx of 535 freshmen who, for some unknown reason, were expected to attend the movie en masse. Needless to say, there were very few freshmen in attendance. Were the movie held on the plains of Troy, one feels it would have played to no larger an audience. · Another purpose for the change was to hold a "fun and games" night directly after the film. In the first place, there are eight more MANUSCRIPT films scheduled, and only one more activities night, thereby decreasing the weight this purpose supposedly carried. In the second place, activities night, unfortunately, was not a success. The third purpose for showing the film in the gym was to make use of the new screen, which will be set up in the new cultural center when it is completed. There were no disadvantages over the screen in Stark, either. Thus, the advantages of having the movies in the gym are sorely outweighed by the disadvantages. The gym, to be sure, is much cooler than Stark 116 could ever be - sans fans, sans air-conditioning, sans everything. As to acoustics, the gym is much too large - the sound reverberates somewhere along the walls before it actually reaches the audience. There is likewise little merit to the seating arrangement in the gym. One has to sway to the beat of the head in front of him; whereas, the step-seating in Stark 116 calls for easy viewing. Another disadvantage to showing the films in the gym is that the showings were narrowed down to one. This eliminates, for those students who must work Friday nights, the possibility of attending the film - meaning a smaller audience for MANUSCRIPT. The double-showing practice was also favorable to the faculty, as they cannot attend the 8 p.m. film due to a seminar - again meaning a smaller audience for MANUSCRIPT. With the films in Stark, one could also look forward to a muchneeded coffee break. However, the greatest loss suffered by the move was in the intimat~ atmosphere that reigned in Stark. One felt lost in the G,;and Canyon environment of the gym. The comfort of Stark and, yes, the temperature in Stark put one in the mood for watching such movies as "The Seventh Seal," "Hiroshima, Mon Amour," "Rashomon," etc. Somehow, even Marlon Brando could not make up for the lack of camaraderie formerly associated with MANUSCRIPT movies. A.P. REFLECTING ON 'REFLECTIONS' A room - cluttered, piled, stacked. A staff - busy, relying, producing. A reflection - bold, strong, lovely. The component parts of AMNICOLA. Long after classes were dismissed for the year, and other organizations had set aside their work, the AMNICOLA staff gathered in the evenings to edit what is perhaps the finest yearbook in the College's history. During the year, the photographers spared no ingenuity in capturing the reflections of the College, sometimes superimposing one upon another, sometimes allowing them to speak alone. The picture editors then clipped, fitted, juxtaposed and suggested - reflections. The writers came and added lines which underscored the artists' thoughts of black and white balances and forms. As might be suspected, one personality must stand ahead, creating the esprit de corps and possessing the judgment of harmony whicl\ makes the efforts of fine writers, artists, photoHraphers, and staff workable. Such was the editor-in-chief, Robert Hrynkiw. For the first time the campus waited until September for the publication of the AMNICOLA. A worthwhile wait, indeed. A.T. 'ST ARK' SURVEY Letters To The Editor 11 1'D RATHER DRIP THAN DRIBBLE" Dear Editor, The Manuscript Society is the sole agent responsible for bringing art films to the Wilkes campus and displaying them at times suitable to the greatest number of students and in an atmosphere conducive to intellectual enioyment. One showing of On the Waterfront in the gym hardly fulfills the Manuscript's responsibilities. I saw the Brando epic when it first came out and several times since on television. However, I left work early and arrived at the gym about nine to see the rest of it again. After chatting with Dr. Rizzo, who was alone in the lobby, I had to get a chair from one of the stacks, dribble it down the floor through the sawdust to the haphazardly huddled group of students under the giant screen, and find a place to open it where my head would not be in someone's way. The acoustics were terrible, which helped Brando to out-Brando his own voice quality; "the poor, illiterate thing has a cleft-palate." As I left the "Gymnasium" after the movie, the Greeks were being entertained with a hootenanny and fun and games. It was a fitting Capper to an evening of Waterfront, but hardly within the province of the coldly formal Manuscript. The Society's next film offering, The Little World of Don Camillo, deserves something better. Stark 116 with a coffee break will do. David Stout 4.

TO HEAR, OR TO THE GYM THANK YOU, I.D.C. ''Un 'Coustic'' Complaints Aired by Nancy Ldand and Michael Kanyuck One of the innovations made by Student Government this year was moving the Manmcript movies from Stark I 16 to the gymnasium. The Beacon feels that presenting these movies in the gym seemed, in effect, to detract from the atmosphere generated by the type and quality of movies the Manuscript shows. This is to say that such movies as "Wild Strawberries, " "The Loneliness of the Long-distance Runner," and "The Magician" would lose their effect in the "Grand Canyon environment" of the gym as compared to the more congenial and intimate atmosphere of Stark I 16. The Beacon, as well as the majority of the students interviewed, feels that these elements are missing in the gym. Rick Hackett, "I like the movies better in Stark. I just feel that there's more of an atmosphere there for a movie. They could always hold two showings of the movie if they don't have room . I think they 'll get more people at Stark." Many might say "such are improvements ? ? ? " But the fact is they ARE improvements brought about by I.D.C. in cooperation with William Denion improvements which your representatives have striven for during the past year and have finally succeeded in obtaining. Vicki Tatz, "I think it is more comfortable at Stark. If they had bigger crowds, then they would need the gym. ~ Another function which I.D.C. has handled amicably this semester has been the Orientation and Hazing program for the incoming freshmen. Intelligent handling on the part of the orientation committee has brought the hazing program to a conclusion with little or no dissension. Nick Wartella, "There is a loss of atmosphere at the gym. Sawdust and movies don ' t go together." Marilyn Davis, "From what I saw, I think I would rather have the movie in Stark.

A graduate of the College, his homecoming was not as a student, but as a professor in the English department. Prior to his college career, he was in Patton's Third Army, the Blue Ridge Division, and was stationed in Germany and Czechoslovakia during the Second World War. He was a member of intelligence reconnaissance because of his fluency in the Polish and Ukrainian languages. When the war was over he was sent by the army to study civil engineering at Brigham Young University. In 1948 he entered the College.

Although the council is still in its organizational stages, the membership is actively involved in the current Presidential election on the local level. Several of the council"s members are also members of the Luzerne County Young Republicans and were present at a recent meeting of that organization, when plans were discussed for the council"s participation in the election campaign. Paul Bachman, chairman of the College's council, gave a report on his internship at the Republican Leadership Training School held at Penn State this past summer. Attorney Stanley Brockman asked the Wilkes group to help him in his efforts to win the Sixth Legislative District seat in the Pennsylvania Assembly. The Wilkes group was also asked to help in engaging several young women at the college to act as hostesses for a testimonial dinner in honor of G~vernor William Scranton, October 17. In addition, the Wilkes council is expected to organize Republican College Councils in area colleges, and also to form a teen-age Republican club. The Wilkes Republican College Council is a realization of efforts begun last year by the Luzerne County Young Republicans to organize local college units as part of the Pennsylvania Republican College Council. Charles Petrillo, Paul Bachman, and Ernest Krute, all juniors, were asked to organize the Wilkes Republican unit , which will soon be chartered by the State Council. The Pennsylvania College Council is an autonomous federation affiliated with the Pennsylvania Young Republicans. State organizations of Young Republicans are , in turn, the building blocks of the Young Republican National Federation , an official branch of the Republican Party designated for reaching the young people of America. The Young Republican National Federation recognized early the importance of college people, their ideas, enthusiasm, and interest in the American political processes. The Federation formed a standing committee and charged it with the formulation and d evelopment of a national college Republican program. Through the efforts of the Luzerne Coun ty Young Republicans and the generous co-operation of the college administration, the Wilkes Council is organizing to provide the student body with the means for getting practical political education. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• {Continued from Page 2) Jim Leone, " I enjoy seeing the movies in Stark.

After virtually sweeping the Academy Awards over ten years ago , it has rapidly become a classic of the modern American cinema. Although a powerful experience in itself, it also serves to deepen the disappointment with which one views the later work of both Kazan and Brando both 0f whose later work in the cin~ma nev~r reaches the peak of On the Waterfront and A Streetcar Named Desire. by Nick Wartdla V is the first novel of Thomas Pynchon, a graduate of Cornell who now lives in New Mexico.

U.LIC: se ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 9, 1964 LINE UP by CLARK LINE Last Saturday I witnessed the Moravian-Wilkes football game. I sincerely regret that after seeing the contest I felt obliged to write this column, if for no other reason than to relieve my own disappointment at the showing of the team. Nor am I the only one who was disappointed by the 23-8 defeat handed to us by the Greyhounds. My predecessor, James Jackiewicz, critically accosted not only the football team but all of the Wilkes athletic endeavors. I do not wish, nor do I feel capable to write in the caustic and cynical style of Jackiewicz, for on a small campus such as Wilkes, where there is a more personal social relationship among students as compared with a larger school. it is not desirable to lash out with untempered blasts of derision. My purpose here, then, is not to criticize, but to fathom some of the possible reasons why our Colonels have failed to produce, especially so far below their potential as they did in the Moravian game. Part of the poor performance by the Colonels was due to the continued absence of Tom Trosko from the Wilkes line-up. While Rich Roshong played a fine game for the Colonels and led the team in rushing, it is felt that he still lacks the experience which Trosko possesses. Ted Travis-Bey was also sidelined with pulled leg muscles, and thus further handcuffed the Wilkes attack. Secondly, coach Schmidt has been working with a team with nearly half of its members in the freshman class. Because of the injuries to Trosko and Travis-Bey, Schmidt has had no other choice than to rely on his young talent. It is not meant to imply that these newcomers are incompetent. However, it cannot be denied that mistakes are to be expected and mistakes are costly. Schmidt commented, however, that the freshman members of the team are willing and possess an enthusiastic determination to play football. Thirdly, Schmidt is faced with a problem which is not unique to coaches, but which is somewhat complex and difficult to solve. The last time Wilkes fielded a winning squad was in 1950, 14 years ago. Schmidt has had 3 years to undo 11 years of defeat. This long period of loss after loss is bound to have some psychological effect on the members of the team. The situation becomes a vicious circle. The team has a defeatist attitude. The team must win to repair the defeatist attitude, but cannot secure a victory until the state of mind is alleviated. Finally, the caliber of Wilkes talent is slightly checked by lack of financial aid to athletes. We shall not argue the merits of this issue here, but merely state it as a fact. Wilkes plays hot and cold football . I feel that their lack of a sustained effort is in part due to their poor showing in the past. If they draw ahead of a team they relax. It seeems that they are just not satisfied to play unless they are behind. Evidence of this may be seen by a quick survey of the box scores. In the majority of cases, Wilkes has been a late starting or a second half team. It is hard to believe that Wilkes is inferior to its competition, especially when one considers the squad player by player. I do not profess to be a football analyst. I can only speak as an interested and concerned spectator. This editorial was written out of a very deep hurt and disappointment, not vindictively or out of a feeling to be purposely malicious. I am sure that you must agree I have not been sarcastically critical. My purpose here is simply to bring to the attention of the students and even to the players themselves that something is lacking. Be it experience, spirit, coaching or lack of support I know not. I hope it may be remedied in time to prevent such action as was taken by King·s College last year. Though disappointed, I still have great faith in the capabilities of Coach Schmidt and his staff, and in the team itself. I can sympathize with the existing situation and say that it is unfortunate , but in the final analysis it is up to the players themselves to provide the remedy to the existing conditions. by David Dugan Despite the effects of Upset Gulch and hurricane Hilda to subdue, I managed to come out with a fairly healthy average in my predictions. Last week I picked 14 right and 5 wrong to bring my season total to 30 right and 9 wrong for a .769 percentage. Hilda postponed the Louisiana State-Florida game to December 5. Upsets raged across the country as Southern California, Navy, Kansas, and California fell prey to this mean foe. Quite amazing is the sudden rise of Notre Dame. The Irish seem to be back on the victory trail after years of frustration . It looks like Kentucky is the surprise team of the year after beating Mississippi and Auburn soundly. Here are the big clashes this week: Illinois over Ohio State - This clash goes a long way toward deciding the Big Ten title . Ohio St. plays a conservative, yet crushing, gr_o und game. It will provide a stern test for the Illini defense led by Dick Butkusf Michigan over Michigan State - This game is a traditiona rivalry in the Big Ten. Michigan St. upset Southern Cal, while Michigan stopped Navy cold. The winning margin for Michigan is their all around offensive threat. Texas over Oklahoma - Oklahoma is the biggest Hop of the year and Texas will again prove this point. Texas has the best defense in the nation and tailback Ernie Koy can"t be stopped. Southern California over Texas A&M - On the way to the National Championship, the Trojan train was derailed in Michigan. The express gets rolling again, however, as the Trojans will make fewer mistakes while quarterback Fertig and halfback Garrett supply the power. Wisconsin over Purdue - Secret information from a mysterious Mr. X, who bears a remarkable resemblance to a well known educator in the business department, has come to me concerning the Badgers.

As in the past, there will again be two leagues. The Dorm League will of course consist of teams representing the various dormitories on campus, while the Independent League will comprise teams composed of day students. At the end of the season, the usual championship game between the first place teams in each league will be held. All games will be played in Kirby Park. Mr. Reese has asked that all rosters be made up as soon as possible and be turned in to him. His office is located on the second Boor at the rear of Chase Hall, or he may be contacted at the gymnasium. Mr. Reese has also requested that anyone interested in participating in the program as an official should likewise submit his name. Wrestling P r a c t i c e Tentatively Scheduled To Begin October 26 John Reese has announced that wrestling practice will formally begin on October 26. He remarked that there are few returnees from last year"s squad, and that a recent meeting was attended by a host of freshman hopefuls. The turnout of 25 pros'.)ective wrestlers shows a good d<>a l of enthusiasm and Reese made it clear that all positions are open. Some of the would-be grapplers have already donned sweat suits and have begun to work out. Ree,se further stated that he would be glad to issue equipment to anyone interested in joining the team. The first match of the season will be held on December 12 at Ithaca . Girls Hockey Team Opens with Victory Over Moravian, 4-3 The girl"s hockey team opened their season successfully last Monday on their home field . In a close game against Moravian , the Wilkes team c-m ero~d victorious with a score of 4-3. Injuries were incurred by Leslie T ohias and Rosanne Hallet. Under the direction of Mrs. Doris Saracino, the squad used a new method of preparation for this season. Extensive exercises were instituted for two weeks prior to the opening game. in addition to the regular practice. This year's squad has approximately sixteen girls, including some new members. Two scrimmages have been played with local high schools prior to the openinQ game. The number of regular games has been lessened considerably due to the !'limination of girls" hockey hy several local schools. Next week the team will compete against Muhlenberg at home and a second game with Moravian at their field . ... lor naluraI shoulders 1 Always a classic, but bigger than ever this year and favored by natural shoulderists . . . the best-dressed men on campus today.

The Greyhounds took the kickoff and returned the ball to their own 35 before being l,rought down by several defenders. Afte·r 4 downs Moravian was forced to punt. Roger Beatty took the ball on the Wilkes 35 but was tackled before he could move. Popovich smashed for a Wilkes first down, but the Colonels were stopped on successive plays and were forced to punt. Bill Schneider's kick was blocked by Pat Mazza of Moravian and the Greyhounds took over. The threat was snuffed out 3 plays later with an interception by Roger Beatty. The game was a stalemate until late in the second period when Moravian end Billy Babinchak hauled in a 21-yard pass from quarterback Jerry Transue. The point after was missed. Wilkes received the kickoff at the s tart of the second half but was forced to punt. Moravian then drove down to the Wilkes 27 at which point Vince Seaman kicked a field goal. Ed Comstock took the kickoff and returned it to the 35, but the Colonels punted 3 plays later. Roger Beatty intercepted his second pass of the day , picking off the Moravian pass on the 46. T en plays later fullback Popovich scored from the 3-yard line. Rich Roshong fired a pass to Popovich for the 2-point conversion. Moravian took the kickoff and drove f~r the final score with Jerry Transue scoring from the 3. Wilkes took the kickoff but was forced to give up the ball on downs . Moravian had taken two plays when Mike Romeo intercepted a pass for the Colonels. Wilkes began to drive for a score but time ran out. COLONELS GET A BREAK looters Defeated By Moravian and Upsala To Bring Log To 0-3 by Ivor Smith Playing away, the Wilkes hooters were handed two defeats last week at the hands of Moravian and Upsala, bring the Colonel log to 0-3. The Greyhounds of Mo r av iii h s•omped on Wilkes 7-2 in a game made hazardous by a driving rain. Moravian netted two goals in the first period, and came back with two in the second, making the score 4-0 at half time. In the early part of the second half , Wilkes produced their only two qoals, with Bob Eurich tallying both. Moravian went on in the final periods to counter three more times, as the Colonels went down to thei r second loss of the season in as many starts. The \'.Jame with the Upsala Vikings found the Colonels hungrily lookin\1 for their first win as they led at half time by a score of 2-1. Richard Eeck and Al Gilbert made the pointer~ for Wilkes. Standouts for the Colonels were freshmen Roger Beatty with two interceptions, and Mike Romeo with one. Bill Schneider, Dale Edwards and Jack Gallagher threw Moravian for several big losses. In the backfield, Popovich, Ed Comstock, and Beatty usually picked up long yardage whenever they carried the ball. Key injuries plagued the Wilkesmen. Center Ralph Hend ershot and wingback Jack Jarvela were sidelined with injuries suffered against Lebanon Valley. Senior halfback Ted TravisBey was also put out of action by a leg injury in the first quarter. Tom Trosko saw limited action but still showed some of the effects of a preseason injury. Wilkes completed 3 of 17 passes for 43 yards. Moravian compiled 244 yards rushing compared to the Colonels' 173. Penalties nullified key gains for the Wilkesmen throughout the contest.

Secures Nod The Week'' by Leah Anderson The score of last Saturday's football game against Moravian showed the Wilkes Colonels to be the losers, yet the Blue and Gold was not without an outstanding player. From this contest Beacon's choice for Athlete of the Week. The award goes to quarterback Richard Roshong who took over the role of signal caller after senior quarterback Tom Trosko was injured in a scrimmage. Rich is from Spring Mount, Pennsylvania . While at Wilkes the 19 year old education major stays at Dennison Hall. He played his high school football at Souderton Joint High School where he was not only an outstanding football player, but he earned letters in track and wrestling. During the Wilkes-Moravian game, Roshong displayed all the talents of a poised and able quarterback. He passPd the ball with accuracy, completing 3 important passes for 43 yards. The second half proved ill-fated for the Colonels as the Vikinqs took advantage of the faltering Wilkes defense and countered three times in the final stanzas. Wilkes vainly attempted to score time after time , and some heated arguments developed on several occasions. The Colonels finished the game on the short end of a 4-2 score in dropping their third straight. His pass to Gary Popovich in the end zone accounted for the 2 point conversion made after th e only Wilkes touchdown of the game. He ran the ball with .speed and deception, gaining 77 yards on 13 carries to emerge as the team's leading ground gainer. Two of these carries, one for 15 yards and the other for 10 yards, set up the Wilkes touchdown. FERRISMEN EYE INITIAL WIN ON PARENTS' DAY Tomorrow the Wilkes Colonels takeon a strong fo e in Middle Atlantic C on ference competition when they vie with the Vikings of Upsala College in the 2nd Annual Parents' Day contest. Upsala is a new addition to the Colonel sch ~dule this season and looms as a formidable foe. The Vikings were defeated by Montclair St. last weekend but the loss was no indication of the caliber of the Upsala squad since Montclair is listed high among the MAC contenders this year. Upsala is the squad which put an end to the long winning streak of Susquehanna University last season by stopping the Crusaders 34-12.

Michael Kanyuck As a part of their orientation program this year, the incoming fresh men were asked to read three books. Of these , Anti-Intellectualism in Amer, ica was required reading, while the frosh had their choice of two out of three other books to complete the assignment. In a series of classes, several upperclassm en led groups of fr eshmen in discussing these books. In order to find out the attitude toward this new addition to the orientation program, the Beacon conducted a survey among the freshmen . Pat Haydt - " I think the book gets us in the mood for the kind of thinking we will have to do ." Liz Slaughter - "I think no reading at all is useless, but without discussion groups you couldn't understand them fully ." Mike Pituch - "The anti-intellectualism book could have been thrown out the window. It was a waste. The Prophet and The Sea Around Us were good. " Hope Kwochka "It wasn't a waste of time; but I wouldn't have read th em on my own." Stuart Blaustein - "I don 't exactly think it was a waste of time, but if you didn 't come in during the first five minutes of the class, you wouldn't have known what they were talking about." Mark Bauman - "I thought it was overly long and drawn out. The author evidently disregarded the principles of unity. Through the discussion group h1s points of anti-intellectualism in America were well taken. It appears that the layman of today doesn't know enough about intellectuals to be anyth•ng but anti-intellectual. It's a good idea, but there should be books more prone to discussion, perhaps some more controversial issues," Ray Bonita "The best of the three books, I believe, was the one on anti-intellectualism. I agree with a lot of ideas in the book, and I liked the organization of it. Hofstadter is a very good writer. H e shows clearly that anti-intellectualism exists now as it did when the country was founded, although not in the same form. It is a worthwhile program to read the books. It gives you mental activity during the summer, and gives fr eshmen an insight into different moral values which they normally wouldn 't encounter on their own." Keith S. Russin - "The be'ginning of the book seemed to drag, but when it entered into controversial discussion, the book became very fascinating and interesting. The part on education was most interesting to me. It shows the lacks and needs of our educational system, and how the people on the whole are fooled by the poor educational system. "The orientation program is quite worthwhile. The books covered many fi elds which made the reading easier and more interesting to the individual." Matt Fliss - " It is difficult to categorize this book because it was so broad. It's certainly nothing that you would read for enjoyment but rather for information. It hasn't yet had any practical applications for me. "This type of orientation is generally good because it tends to make you more inform ed , which is fine with me. Any book is broadening, and consequently four books are even more broadening. " The Beacon then proceeded to interview two of the discussion leaders on their opinions of the book on antiintellectualism and the reading program as a whole. Ephraim Frankel - "This orientation program is far superior to any other. Reading these books will open the minds of the freshmen to areas hitherto unexplored by them. "This informative and searching book dealing with anti-intellectualism brings to the surface unpleasant aspects of American cultural, religious, educational, and political doctrines. It will point out to the freshmen that they can be more critical of the doctrines and dogmas which they accept. The book also places on the students a responsibility to be critical, objective, and well-informed, and encourages free speculation and creative novelty." Cathy DeAngelis - "Even though it is hard to read , Anti-Intellectualism in America presents contemporary them es a nd timely topics. Up to now Americans have disliked intellectuals. This book explains to students what an intellectual really is. "Since it is hard to apply a moral code to everyone, this new program allows the students to select things for their own code from the various books which they read. These books should also give them some idea as to what they should be thinking about."

They spent a great deal of time speaking to their frequent visitors, counseling them on the ways of the old wor ld, the ideas of the new world, and the prospects for the world to come. And the visitors came from all parts of the world to listen to the sound of history. But, alas, all vlsitors were not benevolent. There came one who stole into the secret chambers of the house and, catching one of the special people in slumber. proceeded to cut for himself a lock of hair. H is intention for doing this was not known, since he could not show it to anyone for fear of having his guilt carried back to the people. Thus, each night before he went to bed, he brought out the lock of hair and said, "I have clipped this from the head of a special person. It is now mine." However, he soon grew tii'ed of idolizing the lock in private, and, as time passed. completely forgot that he had it. Meanwhile, when a few of the visitors learned that someone had managed to get a part of the speclal people. they, too, grew defiant, and began to blatantly take souveni~s from the house until finally the house was closed to the public and only special visitors could go to hear the special people talk. And the world grew dumb for it did not hear the passing of eternity. And, in reality, all had lost. Recently, someone walked into our house, the LIBRARY, and, being inclined to laziness, ripped the numb~r _o~ th,~ book he desired from the card catalogue. The next Visitor grew more defiant and nonchalantly took the complete card. And, as all things lead to logical conclusions. the third persqn walked out with the book. Three visitors, a million losses - for you see, the world desired to read the book and it was not available. Another perennial problem the library staff faces is that of maintaining silence. The library is not for the purpose of holding roundtable discussions. Nor is it a ~moking or eating establishment. Mrs. Vujica, head librarian, has asked that students report changes in address and phone number, and also t~e loss of a library card. Book3 should also be checked-out with the student's own card. Because many library books are known to be "lying around" in dorms and private homes, the BEACON is asking all dorm presidents to begin a campaign to return all books, regardless of the amount of time they are overdue, to the library. We are also asking day students to do the same. For the next two weeks, Mrs. Vujica has agreed not to fine anyone for a book long overdue. There are many facilities available in the library for student use; amon~ them are a typing room and a reading room for the blind. Students may also borrow books from the ten local Ebraries through the inter-library loan plan. Let us keep our fpecial people, the novelists and their characters, in our special house. Otherwise, we may grow dumb and not hear the passing of eternity. A.P.

WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 2, 1964 'DREAM' THEATRE BECOMES REALITY by A. M. Airola A dream became a reali ty, for ground w as broken and cons truction begun on the College's new theatre on August 12, 1964. For Alfred S. Groh the theatre represented the culmination of seventeen years of dreams and ambitions. A building such as this is not merely the work of one man, a college, or even an entire community. According to Mr. Groh, ""Encouragement came from all factions of the student body, faculty, alumni , and community, regardless of their particular orientation ."

As a consultant for th e theatre , Mr. Oenslager has given of his time and talent because, as Mr. Groh stated , ""He has developed quite an affection for this project.

Approxima tely twelve people have joined th e te3c hing staff of the College. The new instructors are: Rosemary Allmayer-Beck, Jose Ribas , and Murray Force - foreign languages; Benjamin F . Fiester, Chester N. Moll ey, Warren G . D eArment English ; Marene M. Olson - sociology; and Anthony J. Evangelista - art education. Michael J. Barone has joined force s with th e education department, and Stanley B. Kay has done likewise with the philosophy department. The music department has acquired th e services of Raymond J. Nutaitis, and the chemistry department has reac quired those of James Bohning . Several facts may be noted about the group. Three of them are returning to the College after havin\1 previou sly taught here. They are: Mssrs. Ribas, Fiester, and Bohning. Three were graduated from the College. They are: Mssrs. Fiester, Molley, and Nutaitis. Two of them have come here from European countries. Senor Ribas is originally from Spain; Fraulein Allmayer-Beck's home is in Austria. of the program developed at the college . .. A theatre of the size we are building will be more beneficial for the players as well as the student body." or as an orchestra pit with any number of intermediate heights. Traps are planned so that characters can make entrances or exits directly from the center of the stage. The theatre will have a fully equipped workshop and ample rehearsal and storage facilities , enough to allow work on several projects to go on simultaneously. An electronic lighting system, developed by Century Lighting, will provide a pre-set panel and console. The apron will be hydraulically operated so that it can function as an ex tension of the stage However, the final reality of the new th ea tre is but, in itself, the beginning of more dreams and more plans. Already plans are being prepared for an addition to provide facilities for the music and fine arts departments. Long -range plans include the establishment of a Department of Drama and the offering of a drama sequence for credit.

Meetings will be held this year at the Club House of St. Stephen"s Episcopal Church, due to the efforts of Rev . Burke Rivers , Pastor. The Forum, in its third year of existence, is a club consisting of informal speakers; its purpose is to provide students with the opportunity of discussing wide topics , or, to quote Mr. Gutin, "any topic of general intellectual interest. "" Last year 's Forum included such topics as "" Modern Jazz ," ""Airplanes," and "" E xistentialism. " Each week one student will speak on a topic of his choice. Said Mr. Gutin, and to allocate the showings from Stark 116 to the gym . Since the gym will accommodate a larger audience than Stark 116, the need for two showings no longer exists. There will be only one showing at 7 p .m., after which Student Government has pl anned activities. Earlier this week, Manuscript held its first meeting of the year. Workshops will be held weekly on Tuesday at 11 a.m. when students' literary work will be analyzed. Material is now being accepted for discussion and for publication. "This is an unusual opportunity for students to give them a knowledge of topics otherwise untouched, and it is also an opportunity for informal speaking before a friendly group." �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Editorials The Ballot Box CAUTION URGED Each of us possesses certain humanitarian instincts which often motivate us to give assistance to distressed animals. Their relative helplessness, due either to illness or accident, makes us feel compelled to render these animals any assistance possible. Surprising as it may seem, by doing so we oftentimes endanger our own health. Last week, a few students exposed themselves and the science department at the College to this particular danger. The incident began when these students carried a sick pigeon to the biology department, with the hope that the bird could be helped. Realizing the speed with which infections from birds and other animals can spread if not carefully controlled, Dr. Grace Kimball of the biology department ordered the bird destroyed for the good of all concerned. Unfortunately, this was not accomplished in time, for a few days later it was found that the infection from the pigeon had apparently spread to a number of experimental animals being used by Dr. Sheldon Cohen. This infection very possibly contributed to the unexpected death of the animals. This not only presents a health menace in the laboratory, which incidentally had to be closed, but also destroyed the efforts of six months' experimental work performed on these particular animals. Dr. Grace Kimball informed the BEACON that it is very possible for the same virus. which apparently killed the experimental animals, to cause illness of a serious nature in humans. Diseases such as psittacosis, histoplasmosis, cryptococcus, and salmonella, just to mention a few, can be transmitted from infected birds to human beings in a number of ways, aside from direct contact with the infected animal. These germs can be contracted through inhalation and, in many cases, even through exposure to the droppings of the infected animal. The widespread nature of this danger necess 'tates that we be extremely cautious whenever exposed to these conditions. Students are urged to avoid contact with any sick or injured animal and also to refrain from taking any such animal to the biology department. This is asked not only because of the apparent danger, but also becam:e of the lack of facilities and knowledge on the part of the department for treating such cases. Humanitarian instincts are fine, but don't try to be the hero and endanger your own health. If you see an animal in distress, call a veterinarian or the S.P .C.A. You thereby deal with those who have the training and know-how necessary for handling the situation. Students are urged to personally avoid any such animals completely, regardless of the nature of the animal's illness. J.J.K. ALL THE ANSWERS? The Warren Commission released its report on the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy. The central finding of the report was that the vile deed was the act of Lee Harvey Oswald alone; there was no conspiracy, foreign or domestic. If this is so, then the real questions, the answers to which lie beyond the realms of our conception, all remain. Why? What possible reasons could have prompted the irrational coldblooded act? What did he have to gain? The Commission tells us that Oswald was a man "characterized by isolation, frustration, and failure;" that he is a "product of his life." and in doing so telh us nothing. Don't we all know that only a man who committed two successive murders and felt no remorse could have these characteristics? For those who are willing to believe, who seek some answer ,....., right or wrong - the Warren Report serves its purpose. F~r the rest, the case remains open. For the rest, there may be someone who can drive a desperate man to such extremes and who may do the same again. There 'a re those who loved President Kennedy; there are those whose convictions led them down the other path, but we are sure that they are all disappointed in such a weak explanation of a grievous tragedy.

JUST A HEARTBEAT AWAY by Sam Baccanari " The Vice-Presidency isn't worth a pitcher of warm spit. " In these somewhat "elegant" terms, John Nance Garner so described the office he held in the 1932 and 1936 terms of the administration of Franklin D . Roosevelt. Another Vice-President and our first one, John Adams, stated that this was the most insignificant office that man had ev er contrived or conceived. When Daniel Webster was asked to be the running-mate of Zachary Taylor in 1848, he gracefull y declined by stating that he didn't intend to be buried until he was actually dead and inside a coffin. All of these statements ex emplify the lack of respect which America ns historically have had for the Vice-Presidency, especially by those who have assumed th e position. Constitutionally , these are w ell-founded claims to have made , for the V ice-President's only designated power is to preside over the Senate. It has been mainly a ceremonial office, leaving th e incumbent, on many days , with little or nothing to do but to visit the President in order to check up on his health. I don 't know how true the statement is, but it was said that during Eisenhower 's two major illnesses Richard Nixon was constantly seen carrying a Bible while walking with hi~ right hand raised and repeating th ? words "I do solemnly swea r . . . " After political parties arose, factors other than quality were taken into consideration when it came time to choose a running-mate for the Presidential nominee. A party 's primary purpose is to win an election, and this is more ea sily achieved by picking someone who can balance the ticket and conciliate party factions . As has happened in the past, the most capable person for the job is overstepped in favor of someone who can better unify the party and solicit additional support for the ticket from the electorate. Many times these persons have been of mediocre ability , and this has served to lower the prestige of the office. Y et we must not overlook the omnipresent factor, already hinted above, which hangs like a dark cloud over this office. That is, when the public casts its votes for th e President, it is also choosing among two other men who will be the President's successor. This is not of insignificant consequence. Twice within the last twenty y ears two men have become President because the incumbent had died in office , with the most recent example being the tragic assassination of President John F . Kennedy, resulting in Lyndon Johnson's becoming the President. Because the modern Presidency has become so complex, our nation can 't afford to have a man assume this office who is not capable, morally or intellectua lly , of handl ing the job. However, if recent trends continue, we shall see a steady rise in the prestige of the office , which will entice more high -caliber persons to aspire to the position, as has already occurred with such men a s John Kennedy and H enry Cabot Lodge. Our latter Presidents, Truman, Eisenhower, and Kennedy, have extended powers to the office. More and mo re the V ice-President is becoming a confidant of the President. H e is informed on various domestic and foreign problems, and , as was seen w ith Nixon and Johnson, the Vice-President became a roving ambassador who represented the President in various foreign capitals. The two current Vice-Presidential nominees are Republican William Miller and Democrat Hube rt Humphrey. Both were specifically hand-picked by their respective party 's Presidential nominee. Who are these men and what factors were considered in their selection? I William Miller A sharp-tongued lawyer from Lockport, New York , Miller serves to en hance the balance for his ticket by being from an eastern , urban-industrial state by Marshall Evan-s and being also of the Roman Catholic faith. He has been a Congressman, S enator Parry Goldwater com- beginning in 1950, but his record is undistinguished . In 1961, he assumed the a dditional responsibilities of Republican Chairman. This divided his loyal mented in a recent speech on nuclear ties and resulted in the neglect of his constituents. After being re-elected by policy that v aluable tim e would be a slim majority in 1962, Miller apparently concluded that his Congressional lost in locating President Lyndon career w.as coming to the end of the line. R ealizing that his chances for reJohnson in order to ga in his authority election w ere slim , he did the " gentlemanly " thing of stating in 1962 that he to use nuclear weapons should the would nqt run again after his cur rent term expires , no t wanting to put hi s situation arise.

As has been seen already , he violently jumps into the heat of a fight fore country or of being penny-wise and , with his sharp tongue, makes cutting remarks at the personalities of his opponents. A s GOP hatchet man , it is Miller's job to make caustic remarks or pound-foolish. which aim to keep the Democrats on the defensive.

's Claims Porous Senator Goldwater and his aids, particularly Dean Burch, have claimed that th e issue o f delegating authority to use nuclear weapons without the President's approv al to the NATO commander has been falsely attributed to them as radical. Until now the Administration has not answered this charge explaining the condition of the "agreement " ; nor have Senator Goldwater or his aides revealed the entire situation. It is clearly understood that the NATO commander may use nuclear weapons only in the event the United States should suffer a nucl ear attack; under no other conditions may he use them without authority from the President. He cannot, as Senator Goldwater suggests , initiate a nuclear exchange. Senator Goldwater's suggestion of the term "Conventional nuclear weapons" fo he under control of the NATO commander is certainly striking. Surely the mere mention of the two words together is a contradiction. Since when is a weapon which has the capabilities to exceed the destruc- discussions for one main reason . They believ e it is essential not to let false accusations concerning this nation's defense go unanswered. They also do not want any issue put into the campaign which is really not an issue. In this effort th ey are trying to prevent a recurrence of a situation which existed in the 1960 campaign. The issue of a missile-gap arose during the 1960 campaign because of Democratic charges of same. However, the Defense Department and State Department chose to let these charges go unanswered even though U -2 Bights had clearly shown the United States superior to Russia in the area under criticism. Not until the final days of the campaign, which was too late, did Secretary of Defense Thomas Gates repudiate these claims. S ecretary MacNamara and Secretary Rusk deserve much attention in their efforts to p revent non-issues or issues without proper foundation s to get into the campaign. Within their powers they are trying to prevent fal sehood from spreading.

Burton did a fine job, of playing Burton, that is; however he never fully worked himself into an effective interpretation of the character of Hamlet. Although in various scenes his acting was excellent, Burton's overall presentation did not demonstrate his well-known superior ability. He barked and growled excessively, made jokes with his eyes and actions at awkward times, and mumbled his lines between the famous speeches, causing him to lose the action and mood of the play. His acting ability blazed brightly during the soliloquies, but between them the flame of his thespian genius burned low. Alfred Drake, in the role of Claudius, did not create the image of the hard-hearted, greedy character which Shakespeare intended. Hume Cronyn did a good job as the doddering, meddksome old-fool Polonius, although in his famous advice speech to Laertes he was guilty of overacting. Overacting Not A Real Crime But in this particular presentatior, of Hamlet, overacting was not thf" real crime. Underacting was the mon, apparent problem. There was little feeling in the play, perhaps due to the mediocrity and unobtrusive job of the rest of the cast. At the beginning of the movie, John Gielgud, the producer, explained to the audience that his purpose in pro· ducing Hamlet without props and costumes was to allow the play to be judged on the merit of its words alone. Gielgud's plan may have been well- It staples term papers and class notes, photo• graphs, news items, themes, reports. intended; however, merit of words alone cannot compete with confusion. Hamlet was garbed in an old sweater and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern were clothed in snappy sports jackets, while the queen was costumed. The lack of order in the type of clothing worn by the actors created the confu sion. A simple uniformity in dress would have enabled the audience to focus their attention on the spoken word, thereby becoming completely absorbed in the dialogue which Gielgud proposed was his intention, and incidentally was very much the author's. Technical Weakness Viewing the movie from a technical standpoint, electronovision falls short of its promise. This new type of filming does not allow any more rapport between the audience and the actors than do ordinary movies. The effect of the new type of movie was no different from that of a black-and-white picture. In addition, the voices of many of the actors were inaudible and difficult to understand - a result of technical difficulties rather than faulty elocution of the actors. This reviewer feels that this production of Hamlet was not a bad example of Gielgud 's talents but rather a sad example of the way he chose to use them. The play was never allowed to attain its high dramatic potentials. There was some very good acting in parts of the play; however, these parts were scarce. Instead of having the smoothly flowing beauty that Shakespeare meant it to have , the play beca~e rather like an ebbtide , with a few occassional waves washing over the shore.

Russin resign ed as vice-president. In his statement of resignation, he cited academic reasons for his withdrawal from the organization. At Russin's request , the members subsequently elected Don Ungema h to fill the vacated position. This move was necessary because, according to President Cathy DeAngelis, a vice-presiden t w ill be v ital in the weeks of work ahead. After an exhausting week of listening to speeches in stuffy rooms in connection with the orientation program, the frosh had an opportunity to get some fresh air and healthful exercise by participating in the Freshman Class Project. The purpose of this project is to unify the class members in a common effort while performing a service to the community.

Polls of the student body were conducted during the Spring to gain suggestions for improvements in the social life of the College. In order to encourage larger dances with name bands from outside the area, the number of Friday night dances has been reduced by one-half. Usually two groups will share a dance, thus providing more manpower and larger resources from which to draw. On weekends with no dance, Manuscript will provide films.

Jrs• Sponsor Hop After the first hectic week of campus activities and classes, the Class of '66 is sponsoring a rock 'n ' roll dance in the gym to provide an outlet for the pent-up emotions and suppressed desires of over-enthusiastic underclassmen. Joe Chanecka, president of the Class of '66, has announced that the Rhythm Aces and their feature vocalist Mel Wynn will be on hand to provide the musical backbeat for the evening. Tickets for the dance will be on sale at the door for the nominal price of 75 cents. Activity will begin at the gym at 9 p.m. and continue till 12 p .m. Dave Greenwald is General Chairman of the dance. Assisting Dave in his duties are the following committee chairmen: Dennis Kuigley, refreshments; Irene Dominguez, publicity; and Carol Saidman, tickets. As part of this project, four hundred flailing frosh descended upon Kirby Park in an attempt to clear sections of the park that had become congested with weeds, shrubs, and fallen trees. This statement immediately strikes terror into the heart of every upperclassman, we know. But do not fear! These lowly frosh were not permitted in any way to deface this park, this jewel of nature nestled next to our scenic Susquehanna . They were capably organized into work details and carefully watched by their superiors, so as to prevent any harm from befalling the picturesque landscape. GROUP COMPLETES PUNS ; PARENTS' DAY SCHEDULED The Parents' Day Committee has completed its pi.ins for the annual Parents' Day, which will be held on Saturday, October 10th. They have added a number of new activities in addition to the usual events. Along with registration, which will be held in the gym, the Art Club will provide an art exhibit. From the gym, the parents will be conducted on tours of the campus by members of the Lettermen's Club. They will also be guests at the soccer and football games. A tug-of-war between the freshmen and upperclassmen will be held during half-time at the football game. Another new event will be the awarding of a trophy for the dorm with the most unusual welcoming sign. The highlight of the day will be a concert given by Theodore Bike). an internationally known folksinger and guitarist. General admission tickets can be obtained from Student Government representatives and Class Executive Council members. Reserved seats can be purchased at the Bookstore only. Now Here's Your Dink Seeing the lowly frosh cutting shrubs, carrying logs, and raking leaves into piles for the homecoming bonfire would have brought a sadistic smile to the face of any upperclassman. Sad to say, but the otherwise pleasant afternoon was marred by one incident. A trio of brazen frosh made a feeble attempt to kidnap three upper(Continued on Page 4) Van Dyck In by Helen Dugan The United States once again retained the America's Cup when on Monday, the Constellation defeated Britain's Sovereign for the fourth consecutive time since September 15. Nilkes College was represented in ·his important global event by Steve Van Dyck. Van Dyck, a junior economics major, while in school, is a member of the crew of the 12-meter sloop, Constellation. On the 'Connie', Steve holds down the all-important job of spinnaker trimmer, a responsibility that places him in virtual command of the boat during crucial maneuvers. Many people, especially those at the College, are hearing about the America's Cup races for the first time. Actually they started 113 years ago when the British Royal Yacht Squadron offered a 100 guinea cup to the winner of a 53 mile race around the Isle of Wight. This cup was won by the visiting schooner America. In 1857, the syndicate which had built the America gave the cup ( thereafter known as the America's Cup) to the New York Yacht Club as a perpetual challenge to be raced for by yachts of foreign countries. Between 1870 and 1937, U. S. yachts successfully defended the trophy against 17 challengers. These races have since been called "The World Series of Sailing." The race has changed a great deal since then. For example, in 1939 when the U . S.'s entry, Ranger, defeated the British Endeavor, both vessels were 135 foot " J" class sloops with a crew of 35, which included the wives of the captains. Now the boats are 69 feet with a crew of twelve highly trained , determined men. 01 Winning 'Connie' not race till '64. The last British challenger was in 1958 when the Sceptre went down 4-0 to U . S .'s Columbia. Britons sourly nicknamed their boat the Spectre and didn 't challenge again till '63. During the latter part of August '64, eliminations began in order to pick one contender on each side for the best of seven races. The U . S. had four vessels: Columbia-the 1958 Cup defender; Nefertiti - an unsuccessful '62 candidate; The American Eaglethe favored ship; and the Constellation. Within four days, the former two were eliminated leaving the two ships which were newly built for this occasion . Constellation had lost four of its first six races in the p~eliminary trials and was 4-2 in the observation trials, while the American E~gle remained unbeaten. The Constellation then made the most decisive move she could make. The "Connie 's" helmsman Eric Ridder decided to share the command with Bob Bavier and the crew began to click in perfect rhythm. Both vessels then entered into the New Steve Van Dyck York Yacht Club cruise races. These races didn't count towards anything 'Constellation' Chosen except, perhaps, the biggest thing In 1963, Britain's Royal Thames morale. The Constellation was vicYacht Club challenged the U.

Such is the case with regard to this year's hazing program. The freshman class, 535 strong, is full of enthusiasm because college is, for them, an entirely new experience and they are determined to make their experience as enjoyable as possible. Hazing plays a vital role in determining whether this enthusiasm is to continue, or whether it is to diminish to the point of extinction. Through the hazing program, the freshmen as individuals are molded . into the class unit through the necessity of joining forces against their common adversary, the upper classmen. If the upper classmen do not follow through with the hazing of the freshmen, they leave the frosh without a common adversary and hence little reason for forming class unity. But this apathy on the part of the upper classmen can have more farreaching repercussions than meet the eye. When the current frosh enter the ranks of upper classmen next year, they will be without memories of their hazing program, and consequently, might be reluctant to take part as upperclassmen in the current hazing program. Therefore through upperclass participation and freshmen cooperation, the tradition of hazing will not only be preserved, but also it will increase in importance as far as all involved are concerned. SEMESTER IS A-COMIN' IN Realizing that lengthy welcomes, besides appearing formal, look as phony as Holden Caulfield's sights, the BEACON would like to extend a newsy welcome to all incoming freshmen and a welcome hack to all upperclassmen. And, without preamble, thie ftWS)'aper likewise invites all to its dusty chamber in Pickering to aid in filling its pages with lusty prose and prosaic ramblings. Again, the BEACON is open to comments, opinions, letters, et al, the only qualification being that the author sign his name. However, we will withhold your name upon request. Such columns as Viewpoint '64 and The Ballot Box are designed to handle any topic of collegiate interest from politics to education in Russia. Rants 'n Raves is another column devoted strictly to airing complaints of students, faculty, and, at times, angry editors. So, love, let us he true to one another. We will print if you will write. Workshops are held every Tuesday night in the BEACON office. At this time, the BEACON is laid out, headlined, and, with a hope and a prayer, sent to Llewellyn & McKane print shop. These workshops are open to students interested in learning how a newspaper is put together. And now, we dedicate this issue: for you, our readers. Goodnight, Chet. Goodnight, David. WHAT • • WHERE WHEN Friday, September 25, 1964 THE BALLOT BOX A Platform 1.s To Stand On by Sam Baccanari and John Lore "Order, order, will the convention please come to order." So shouts the-~ hairman, while fervently pounding his gavel, as he tries to make himself heard over the deafening roar of his party's delegates. In this somewhat chaotic and circus-like atmosphere, a ritual occurring every four years under the direction of our two major political parties, we find that these delegates, as stated in their countless number of speeches, are gathered together in order "to nom, inate the next President of the United States." But choosing a candidate for the Presidency isn't their sole task. They perform other important non-nominating functions, and onz of ,t hese is that of writing a platform. Evolving from occasional efforts made by the parties to address the people, platform-writing has become a routine function of the convention. In this voluminous document we find in detail the program, stating positions on various govermµental issues, upon which the party will c:mduct its campaign. Not to be understood as ends in themselves, pl11tforms are electioneering documents upon which the party hopes to achieve national office. Rather than being blueprints for specific action, platforms tend to be ambiguous and tend to indicate only the geMral direction in which li candidate and his party intend to go. Every platform usually contains some major issue upon which the parties disagree; this antagonism has occurred in the past over such issues as slavery, tariffs, and social labor legislation. Yet, these differences do not o,:cur over all issues or in all elections. For the most part, the platforms and campaigns of both major parties, except fo r general ideological differences, tend to run along similar lines. Because it is seeking public office, a party needs to obtain a majority of votes, and this is achieved by adopting a program which has a broad appeal to the electorate. If for some reason one of the parties adopts a radical innovation and thereby is elected to office, the opposing party will then proceed to incorporate this winning technique into its own platform. In the current Presidential campaign, for the first time since the era of - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Franklin D. Roosevelt, we find the Republicans and Democrats deeply divided over numerous major issues. As both party conventions were completely dominated by their respective Presidential candidates, Barry M. Goldwater and Lyndon B. Johnson, the platforms reflect the views and personalities of the Jack Hardie nominees. Both candidates have extremely divergent points of view. In offer- Olsen Schroeder ing "a choice-not an echo," Republican Goldwater is bucking the mainstream of American political thought.

However, with the British film industry practically sterile, an(producing few really first-rate films, " A Shot in the Dark" assu mes a more exalted position. Its fast moving direction , its reliance on well-timed sight gags, its surprise ending, and, above all, Peter Sellers' comic ability, make it an enjoyable and welcome departure from the usual dull movie fare. The action stems from a much-used characterization-a clumsy, bumbling police detective who , despite his own intense efforts to the coa trary, manages to solve a series of baffling murders. Peter Seller-s plays the fumbling, but always suave, Inspector THE BALLOT BOX {Continued from Page 2) In the area of taxes, both party platforms promise reductions. The Republicans pledge a removal of wartime federal excise taxes on certain items and also further reduction in individual and corporate tax rates. The G.O.P . standard bearer, Senator Goldwater, has said he would like to reduce taxes five percent a year for the next five years. The Democratic platform plank is much like that of the Republicans. It also promises a further reduction in taxes but makes no specific statement like that made by Senator Goldwater. The Democrats prefer to wait and study the full effects of the present tax. It is then that they will decide what action to take for further tax reductions. Civil Rights Issue Also a very important issue in this year·s race for control of the White House is the controversial and extremely sensitive Civil Rights issue. The Republican platform, in a brief plank, promises 'full implementation and faithful execution of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and all other civil rights statutes." This plank was framed deliberately mild so that Senator Goldwater, who opposed this bill in the Senate because he thought some parts of the bill, such as the public accommodations section, were unconstitutional, could run on such a plank. The Goldwater supporters, possessing a vice-like grip on the platform committee, had little trouble obtaining the kind of civil rights plank they wanted. On the other hand , the Democratic platform pledges "full observance" and " fair , effective enforcement" of the new civil rights law. The Democrats, as did the Republicans, also went on record as opposing discrimination of any kind. The architect of this relatively mild Democratic plank on C ivil Rights was the same man who ran the whole Democratic Convention, President Lyndon Johnson. Johnson, one of the most astute politicians ever to occupy the White House, purposely avoided a strong civil rights plank because he didn't wish to additionally aggravate and alienate the South. Because of this maneuver and because he is a Southerner, Johnson now · has a good chance of capturing a respectable portion of Southern electoral votes. Through this move, Johnson lost none of the Negro vote, for they have no other place to turn. Backlash and Frontlash In conclusion, both parties promise to carry out the Civil Rights Law. The one unknown in conjunction with the Civil Rights issue is the so-called "white backlash." This "white backlash" allegedly consists of those people who would normally vote Democratic, but this year will vote for Goldwater because of their fear of the too-rapid rise of Negro rights and status. These people identify Goldwater with the slowing down of this movement because he vetoed the Civil Rights Bill. Conversely, Democrats claim that this "white backlash" is exaggerated and will be more than offset by the "Republican frontlash." This "Republican frontlash" is composed of those people who would normally vote for the Republican Presidential candidate, but this year will vote for Johnson because of the conservative views of the Republican hopeful Goldwater. As the campaign progresses during the coming weeks and the issues are more fully developed, we will find that the public will be presented with a distinct choice on November third. The election will serve as a type of public opinion poll to determine whether America wants to remain in the mainstream of the social, political and economic thought which has developed in the past thirty-five years or whether, growing weary of this course, it wants to change direction and revert to the simple life of our ancestors. Cluseau with masterful ffourishes. His initial act after arriving at the scene of the first murder is to fall debonairly into a fountain. Undaunted, Cluseau falls from couches, tears his pants to shreds, gets himself arrested twice, and drives nude through the streets of Paris with Elke Sommer, also nude, beside him. Through all his gallant misadventures Cluseau acts as if he were in complete control of the situation. It is from Peter Sellers· ability to combine suaveness with clumsiness that "A Shot in the Dark" derives most of its humour. And in the final confrontation scene, with all the suspects assembled, Sellers stalks his prey, all the while tripping, falling, and generally fumbling about. Two Sour Notes Organized On Campus In order to provide college students with an opportunity to acquire experience in political affairs, the Republican Party of Pennsylvania has organized a Young Republican College Council. The Council is affiliated with the College Service Committee of the Young Republican National Federation. The College Council of Pennsylvania has established campus units in thirteen Commonwealth colleges and universities, including Penn State, P.M.C., Bucknell, Temple, Wilson, Franklin and Marshall, and the University of Pittsburgh. Under the general directorship of Paul Bachman, junior business administration major, Wilkes Republicans will soon organize and apply for a charter from the College Council. Both Bachman and William Webb, junior biology major, served internships at the first Republican Young Republican Leadership Training School held this past summer at Penn State. The objectives of the Council according to the Constitution are to contribute to the growth and influence of the Republican Party among students in universities and colleges in Pennsylvania ; and to promote good government; to provide Republicans of Pennsylvania's local Young Republican units, the Young Republicans of Pennsylvania and the Young Republican National Federation; to train young people in practical political activity in campaigning on behalf of the Republican Party; to encourage college students to continue participation in the activities of the Young Republicans and the Republican Party - local, state, and national - after graduation from college. Most of the gags are genuinely fun ny and beautifully executed . Only two strike a sour note. The recurring gag of Sellers· Japanese judo student practicing surprise attacks is never really funny, and finally becomes offensive when he attacks while Sellers is about to consumate, in his usual inept way, a torrid affair. The other sour note is the well publicized foray into a nudist colony. Sellers is forc ed to strip in order to follow his suspect and is left _with only a guitar with which to maintain his dignity. None of the rest of this sequence really utilizes or relies on the nudist colony for its humour.

As the official leader of the student body, Cathy D eAngelis has already begun to outline plans for the coming school year. When questioned recently about what Student Government has accomplished so far, Miss DeAngelis proudly stated, "The plans for the Theodore Bike) Concert, Parents' Day, and Homecoming are already well under way." In addition to preparing for these immediately forthcoming events , Student Government has also cut the number of Friday night dances in half in orqfr to employ better bands and to lessen the danger of financial loss, increased the number of MANUSCRIPT lllms with an activity following each film , and helped to arrange "Wilkes Review" , a five-minute radio program on WBAX that can be heard on Mondays and Thursdays from 5:55 until 6 p.m. Although Student Government has held only two meetings so far , every major committee has already been selected. Asked to explain what she felt were her qualifications for her office, Miss DeAngelis replied that she felt her past three y ears at the College have certainly prepared her for the year ahead. She has held every Student Government office except that of treasurer. Having been chairman of almost every committee, she feels that she can better understand the various problems of each committee. For this reason she will assume ultimate responsibility for every major committee, but will appoint a committee chairman who will be directly responsible to her. CRASEns In regards to the permits which those students wishing to park in the College lots must acquire, Arthur J. Hoover, assistant dean , stresses that these permits do not guarantee the driver a parking place. Mr. Hoover also reminds each person who avails himself of the facilities to be considerate of the rights of others and to extend courtesy to his fellow drivers. Mr. Hoover feels that responsible college ·students should accept these rights and obligations and agree to follow them to the letter. If they cannot, they should consider using the $6 parking fee for off-campus parking or bus fare . Although Miss DeAngelis has given up many of her other extra-curricular activities, she still retains a few which will allow her very little leisure time. As head of the nurses on campus, she mu st accept responsibility for the new Medical Room . Through a grant from the National Science Foundation she is presently doing research work under Dr. Sheldon Cohen. "Among those activities I have given up are a few incidentals like sleeping, eating, etc.," she reluctantly admits. Because of these time-consuming activities and because she worked on campus all summer, she spent a great deal of time doing Student Government work during the summer months. This, she feels , gives her a definite advantage over her predecessors. Of the present College parking areas those available for student parking are the one at Parrish and the Wright Street lot. The latter area can facilitate 175-250 cars. It has been patrolled daily and will continue to be as long as the need exists. Previously for students , the Geis lot has been converted for faculty and staff parking. If any upper classmen are interested, there is a limited supply of handbooks and calendars at Chase Hall. These may be found in Chase lobby or acquired from Mr. Hoover or Joan Borowski, his secretary . lrem Temple Concert To Feature Martinon The Chicago Symphony Orchestra will present a concert at Irem T emple, Cathy DeAngelis October 4, under the direction of the French-born composer-conductor Jean The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Martinon.

Modern movie-makers after an initial success are often overwhelmed by the flood of script writers, technicians, and artists, a movie demands, unable to dominate so huge an undertaking see their talent swallowed up and are never able to fulflll the promise of the early films. Bergman, Kurosawa , and the other greats of modern cinema maintained their pre-eminence by remaining in control of all the facets of movie production. Bergman is notorious for his meticulous attention to all the details of every frame of his movies. The constant unified vision that seems so hard for modern directors to maintain is the quality that makes the works of Charlie Chaplin stand in the forefront of cinematic development. Chaplin was always able to impose his vision, on all his work. He never lost sight of his central character or his central theme. At the same time Chaplin manages to avoid another pitfall of modenr cinemahe is never dull. The films of Resnais and Antonini, for example, have some dull. if artistic, moments. Chaplin's art is never dull. A consistent motif and constant motion are the hallmark of Chaplin's art. It was the early shorts which made Chaplin both rich and famous - that he sharpened his comic genius. His mind is ceaselessly inventive; there is always a new gag. And once discovered, Chaplin uses each gag to its fulfillment and no further. He is always in danger of· ~oing too far, throwing one too many pies, or tripping once too often, but 'he never does; Chaplin ex hausting a · g_a g is like a symphony. He sta tes the motif, carrying a ladder in THE PAWNSHIP. for example; then he shows it in all its variations. He knocks down the boss, from the front , from the back, from the side each time unexpectedly. When it is expected, Chaplin gingerly avoids hitting anything at all. City Lights is the earliest of Chaplin's memorable full length films. We · follow the tramp, already a carefully delineated character of Chaplin's mind, through a series of adventures, including his friendliness to the blind flower girl. The development, typically Chaplinesque, is episodal, al most picaresque; and the mood alternates between pathos and laughter. In many ways it is a kind of cinema tic Adventures of Augie March. The tramp faces life with boundless optimism and allows life to control him rather than forcing his own fate. The only redemption from the tramp life of day-to-day existence is love. The flower girl answers this need. At the end of the film the two are reunited ( the tramp has just got out of jail) and the film closes with a stunning close-up of Chaplin's illuminated face , one of the most moving and touching frames in the cinema. Modem Times is similar in many ways. The tramp is back. The development is episodic and the ending is again an affirmation of the promise life holds, the joy of life itself. To the explicit poverty and misery of city lights however, is added a brilliant satire of mechanized society. The opening of the films is a terrifying scene of an assembly line with each man like an automaton, fulfilling his function. A great screen lights up with the face of the boss ordering more speed on the line, and an antecedent of Orwell's all-seeing Big Brother is evident. The whole sequence shows man's subservience in the new machine age. In one brilliant sequence Charlie is pulled into the machine and finds himself surrounded by giant wheels and gears. Still jerking spasmodically from the assembly line, Charlie calmly tightens the two nearest screws.

Game time is at I :30 at the Lebanon High School Stadium in Lebanon. Wilkes will be trying to turn the tables on Lebanon Valley who have given the Colonels 7 seasons of frustration in a row. The last time the Colonels were able to come up with a victory in the series was in 1954 when they shut out the Dutchmen 19-0. Last season Wilkes was edged out 13-6 by the Blue and White and will be out for revenge. The going will not be easy tomorrow afternoon, however, despite the promising outlook of the Wilkes squad . Lebanon Valley will field an experienced team, in spite of the fact that their big gun, Wes MacMillan, was lost through graduation. Coach William McHenry, starting his fourth season, will have one of the most well-balanced squads in several years if some of the injured personnel return to form . McHenry will be relying heavily on returnees Terry Herr and Glen Stech, the co-captains of the team and both of whom were on the injured list last year. John Vaszily will return as quarterback for the Dutchmen, and will pose a problem for the Colonel defense. Backing up Vaszily will be Dennis Gagnon, who will also see action at the tailback slot. Halfback Rich Spallone also shows promise of developing into a fine halfback with three seasons left to play. On the line, Stech and Al Bullard will be at tackle; Bill Hohenshelt, guard; and Jim Duke, center. Hohenshelt had a fine 1963 season and was named to the ECAC first team and a spot on the MAC Southern Division Second T eam. Duke missed most of the 1963 season with a broken arm. Bullard, too, missed all but two games with an arm injury. •••••••••••••••••••••••• Chuck Robbins SPORTING GOODS Ready to serve you with a complete line of Sweaters, Jackets, Emblems, Sporting Goods. 28 NORTH MAIN STREET ADDED STRENGTH FROM factor to a squad which has heretofore been comprised for the most part EXPERIENCED FRESHMEN of players who had never seen a soccer ball prior to coming to Wilkes.
