Inevitably farewells bring expressions of thanks and this farewell will be no different. As might be suspected, the past 28 issues of the BEACON are the results of the efforts of many, many people on and off campus. We have tried to thank personally all those who helped us this year, but in the event that we have slipped up anywhere, we thank them again now. We appreciate not only the aid that we have gotten from so many areas - Chase, PRO, AMNICOLA, to name just a few - but also the attitude with which all our requests were met. This positive reception encouraged us to try many experiments that a less enthusiastic one might have squelched. In the realm of cooperative attitudes, our printer, Llewellyn & McKane, has been foremost. "Denny," especially, has put up with our occasional lapses of efficiency ( during mid-terms, etc.) and worked with us "creatively" to put out our weekly issue. To show our gratitude we may even replace his quickly decreasing supply of aspirin. Finally, dropping the editorial "we", I must personally thank my staff without whom the BEACON ship would have sunk and its captain with it. I am grateful to " my people" not only for the vast amount of physical labor they expended during the entire school year, often neglecting academic studies for our BEACON, but perhaps more for their " esprit de corps," for the spirit with which they have made any task I set for them not only plausible but pleasurable. The experiences I have shared with them this year have been among my happiest moments, which I know will prove invaluable to me in the coming years. B.A.L. THE LAST WORD With our pen still dripping with the ink of our first fledgling editorial, we find sorrowfully that it is already time to deliver our parting speech. Being forced into the realization of the end of a year, of a reign, of a way of life inevitably leads one to a self-analysis, a review of the passing era. We launched this year's BEACON with a definite goal that of establishing our paper as a clearing house for student news and opinion; of making it an effective media of communication from which an individual student could speak to all 1300 of his fellow students at once. The experiences of this past year have taught us many lessons, one of the most important being that the goals so easily formulated in our relaxed, bermudaed summer sessions were not as e~sily attained in week to week reality. We have succeeded in introducing more student opinion and controversy into the paper through the Rants 'n Raves, Viewpoint '64, Ballot Box, and Letters to the Editor columns. We got so many letters this week we couldn't print them all. One of the main goals of any publication is to be read. Judging by the number and intensity of the comments and answers to these columns and letters, we feel safe in concluding that the BEACON is read and with some interest by the student body. In the area of news coverage, we have attempted to present a cross section of news to represent the interests of the average student. Of course, working on the basis of a four-page weekly issue ( with intermittent six pages), some news just didn't fit. In deciding which to use and which to delete we worked on the basic premise that the average student is and should be interested in international, national, and state affairs, as well as campus issues. Thus, if, for example, we had to choose between an interview with Genevieve Blatt and the Friday night dance, we chose Miss Blatt. Some would maintain that the Friday night dance is more important. We must disagree. We still insist, as we have insisted all year, that a college newspaper which deteriorates into a mere bulletin board or publicity sheet is not only a waste of money but ineffective, since nobody would read it. Posters and Flyers are much cheaper and just as effective. Of course, some stories were inadvertently left out through one of the myriad of technical things that can go wrong in a weekly publication. One last point - our decisions in cutting articles were always made on the objective basis of appeal to the greatest number of people. Despite suggestions to the contrary, our decisions were never influenced by personal feelings toward any of the departments on campus, but by our basic philosophy of the functions of our paper.

This was not merely another series of committee meetings. This was not merely another convention whic h would leave with bright hopes and promises for the future, but with nothing accomplished. These men and women met with the serious intent of aiding those individuals whose personal life, family , and occupations were disrupted or destroyed by their inability to control the drinking of alcoholic beverages. These are the facts. Alcoholism, the inability to control the drinking of alcoholic beverages, is a disease. And like any disease, it needs immediate medical attention and whatever additional assistance is necessary. The alcoholic must know and accept this fact. He must also know where to go for help .

According to the Univer·s ity of Minnesota's critical service. established for the sole purpose of ripping College newspapers apart, one must present snappy headlines to the reader, headlines full of zip and im, aginatfon. This is a helpful and nottoo -difficult to-fulfill idea when one has zippy, imaginative articles. But then there are the assembly write-ups. Try making a snappy headline for the chorus singing at the Christmas assembly and it would come out something like this. "Snappy, Zippy Vocal Chords Intertwine . at . Wing-Din!! Gathering of Happy Homo Sapiens." In truth, the critical service would probably inform the BEACON that their headlines are too zippy and bey ond the stretch of imagination why not say -something like, "Chorus Entertains at Christmas Assembly?" To zip or not to zip is, in many cases, the question. SPECIAL ISSUE Phone again rings. Reporter again answers. Man on line screams, "Tell Pop Clu to come down here at once!" Man hangs up.

It will be held on October 10. This year's committee plans to improve upon its previous schedule of events. Prior to last fall, Parents' Day was held in the spring, and it consisted of a band concert and general tours of the campus. The administration felt that this program did not give parents a realistic view of college life. In order to increase the program's value, the date was changed to the fall when more events are taking place. This past fall a more informal and interesting day was planned. The campus organizations provided exhibits to facilitate the parents seeing the various works which occupy students ' time. The parents were guests at by Marshall Evans the soccer and football games and The Collegians and the band con- later on tours of campus by their sons cluded their program schedules for the and daughters.

Those elected for the 1964-65 year were Ephraim Frankel. president; David Levy, vicepresident, Leona Sokash, secretary; Rosemary Rush, treasurer. The debaters had an active year with both varsity and novice teams competing in various tournaments. The subject for this year's debate was that of the federal government guaranteeing an ·opportunity for higher educa tion to all qualified high school graduates. Varsity tournaments began in earll November with initial invitations frbm La Salle Universi ty and Villanova University. At La Salle the College debaters , represented by Doug Kistler and Dave Levy for the affirmative and James Tredinnick and Rosemary Rush for the negative, recorded four wins out of ten rounds of debate. Results from Villanova were six wins out of ten rounds. The latter tournament was a "switch" debate where the two teams had to be prepared to debate both sides. Meanwhile , the novice teams, composed of Al Airola and Paul Macko for the affirma tive and Mark Hamdi and Larry Di Gregorio for the negative, scored well at Temple University's Seventeenth Annual Novice D ebate Tournament. The team accumulated a record of seven wins out of eight rounds of debate. Including their wins at Lehigh University during the previous Workshop-Tournament in September, the novice team compiled an entire record of eleven w ins out of tw elve rounds of debate. The final varsity tournament was the Liberty Bell Tournament sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania. Wilkes was represented by Al Airola and James Tredinnick who fin ished with three victories from six rounds of debate. The list of schools defeated by Wilkes at these various tournaments is impressive. Some of the more notable schools are: Un ivers ity of Pittsburgh , C. W. Post, Middleburg, King 's, Temple University, University of Pennsylvania, Villanova, Old Dominion, Virginia, Trenton State College, Army , and Georgetown University.

Roberts to Scotland Gordon Roberts of the English D epartment will study at Edinburgh Universi ty in Scotland this summer, but will return to Wilkes in the fall. Presently working on his Masters degree at Wesleyan University , Mr. Roberts will study and do more graduate work in Engl ish while in Scotland. Among his other studies will be British history and philosophy. Graduating from Wilkes in 1960, Mr. Roberts carried a double major of English and philosophy and religion. Another member of the English Department, Miss Charlotte Lord, will leave the College next year to do advanced graduate study in English and Italian at the University of Pennsylvania.

However, Dr. Frijters feels that he has arrived at the point where the final writing of the course requires full concentration augmented by the cooperation of native speakers. "J believe that, because of its long run benefits, completion of my work must now get priority. That is why I want to give up temporarily a full time assignment," he stated. During the vaca tions he will go to Germany to check his courses with native speakers.

At present, the squad bears a record of 5 wins and 3 lqsses. Tlie netmen started off the season with a bang as they edged Susquehanna, 5-4, for their initial win of the year. Despite some rusty spots, the Colonels showed good teamwork in gaining the win. Playing their first home stand of the year, the Wilkes racketmen suffered their first defeat, bowing to Lycoming College, 6-3. Fred Smithson and Bill Douglas collected the only wins in singles competition, while Smithson later teamed up with Owen Frances to turn in the lone doubles victory. The following week, Wilkes entertained Susquehanna in a return match of a tilt held earlier in the year. For the second time, the Colonels emerged victorious, this time by a 6-3 margin. Instrumental in gaining the win were Bil Douglas, Gary Einhorn, and Dave Closterman who turned in twin victories for the day. Wednesday, April 22, saw Coach MacFarland"s squad turn in its most commanding victory of the season, a 9-0 drubbing of Scranton University. Wilkes swept the 6 singles contests, then proceeded to capture every doubles match. Lebanon Valley provided the 4th win in 5 starts as the Wilkesmen romped over the Flying Dutchmen, 8-1. Don Austin starred for the Colonels as he registered his second shutout in a row, while Bill Douglas continued his torrid pace, extending his win skein to 18 over the past 2 seasons. Monday, May 14, will be remembered as "'Black Monday" by the Wilkes netmen as they suffered a staggering 9-0 defeat at the hands of Moravian College. The most heartbreaking event of the afternoon occurred at the number 3 position when Douglas suffered his first defeat. Tennis Squad Loses To Moravian by 8-1 Margin by Don DeFranco Absorbing its third defeat of the season, the Wilkes College tennis team bowed to the powerful Moravian netmen last Saturday by a score of 8-1. The Greyhounds once again displayed their mastery of the courts, having previously defeated the Colonels, 9-0. The score of the match is not, however, indicative of the fine play turned in by the Wilkes racketmen. The outcome of many of the matches was difficult to predict, as members of both squads battled furiously with the lead changing hands several times. . .

CIRCLE K GOES SPORTY Circle K will complete a busy year of projects on June I when they will conduct a bake sale at the Pennsylvania Gas & Water Co. Money gained from the sale will be used to send delegates to the International Convention to be held in Chicago during the first week of September. Circle K is also in the process of conducting a drive on campus to gain funds to support the U .S. Olympic Team. Containers at the Bookstore, Snackbar, and the Commons are available for donations. Nine members of Circle K also painted several cabins at the YMCA Camp Kresge last Sunday. LOU ZAMPETTI, ACE INFIELDER, NAMED "ATHLETE OF THE WEEK" The Colonels wrap up the season tomorrow afternoon, facing Scranton in a match set for 2 p.m. at the Athletic Field. Results of Wednesday's contest with Muhlenberg were unavailable at the time of publication. Lou Zampetti is awarded this issue·s "Athlete of the Week" honors. Zampetti holds down the hotspot of the infield, 3rd base, and is team cocaptain, sharing honors with Matt Himlin. With . four seasons of intercollegiate baseball under his belt, he has given the Colonels tremendous aid this current season. Schmidt Plans For Grid Campaign; Equipment Issued Bec.i~se of Rollie Schmidt's duties as baseball coach, it was not possible to hold a spring football drill. Coach Schmidt, however, made an announcement that shoes and footballs have been issued for the summer, and that any student seriously interested in playing football in the fall should get in touch with him for equipment. Standing 6-feet tall and weighing a solid 185 pounds, Zampetti is typical of a big leaguer. At the plate he smashes powerful line drives into the outfield and can produce a needed hit when the team is in scoring position.

Schmidt remarked that these new changes will not be so much in the type of football to be played, but rather in the utilization of personnel. Schmidt said he would be using a Wing-T formation with variations. He hopes to put more agility into the squad, and will be trying out his guards at defensive end. In addition to the switch in playing positions, Schmidt commented that he will try to put more plays into every game by cutting down huddle time and using a quick snap offensive attack. New Talent Expected Schmidt mentioned that he will be counting on some freshman talent and cited the following examples. He is expecting an all-county tackle from Metuchen, New Jersey, to bolster the Wilkes Ii'ne. Roger Beatty, an Allstate nominee from Exeter and West Side Conference All-scholastic, is expected to be a welcome addition to the Colonel backfield. ""An All-state nomination from the West Side Conference is an unusual honor," Schmidt remarked. Schmidt also mentioned that three area boys may find a berth on next year's squad. These three are Brinley Varchol of Hanover, Dick Cronin of Kingston Catholic, and Ron Grohowski,s brother, Jerry. Varchol was captain of the Hawkeyes and plays in the backfield.

Can a vote of 550 out of a possible 1313 be considered conclusive? Can a person chosen by less than half of the student body be considered the "people's choice?" We think not. This is not to imply that the election results would have been different had the vote been doubled - but the implications certainly would have. A sparse turn-out such as this defeats the idea of popular election which we all voted in so heartily a few weeks ago. Why the change? Why should a student body, who only a few weeks ago, turned out in an enthusiastic 80 per cent mass and voted in the idea of popular election ( as well as class officers), have suddenly lost this enthusiasm. Commenting on the encouraging turn-out of the previous election, the BEACON editorially suggested that perhaps the enthusiasm of the masses was only the reflected enthusiasm of the candidates themselves. And now unfortunately we must suggest the lack of enthusiasm in this election must be at least partially attributed to the failure of the candidates to arouse student interest. Oft- times we felt that the most noise about the campaign was emanating from the pages of the BEACON. Certainly the spirited campaigning and intense personal contact of the class elections were lacking. We realize that the candidates wished to conduct a dignified and serious campaign. But it also turned out to be a dull one. It seems that rules laid down for the campaign limiting the number of posters and ruling out flyers was a mistake. The " banners in the oddest places", which the candidates of the last election so ingeniously created, made it impossible to ignore the campaign as many students did this one. It is easy enough to attribute the sparse vote to student apathy, but it should be one of the foremost goals of a student leader to spark student interest. And if this necessary spark can be struck by ridiculous, redundant posters, their use is justified. Once you capture your audience you can deliver your punch line. BAL TO THE EDITOR Thorburn's Damning Damned "Men who pay for what they eat will insist on gratifying their palates however nice and whimsical these may prove; and if everything is not agreeable to their taste, will, challenge a right to censure, to abuse, and to d - n their dinner without control." Fielding's comment on critics is most appli cable to th e young man who so unjustly attacked Richardson 's film version of Tom Jones. It is apropos to add that one should not criticize unless he knows his subject. It is evident that he w ho criticized Tom Jones is poorly versed in 18th century novels, especially those of the incomparable Henry Fielding. If he were, the following errors may well have been avoided: ( 1) The dining scene in the fil m was partaken by Tom Jones and Mrs. Waters, not the most honorable Sophia Western. (2) Tom Jones was not the first novel (even the first English novel) to use characterization. (3) The novel, as well as the film , was not "sometimes satiric." The author's intention was to make th e entire work a satire; in th e dedication of Tom Jones to George Lyttleton, Esq., Fielding wrote: " ... I have employed a ll the wit and humour of which I am master in the following history; wherein I have endeavoured to laugh mankind out of their favourite follies and vices. " Richardson did not tamper with this purpose; it is regrettable that 18th century satire fell on many 20th century deaf ears. · In addition to those trifling literary errors, it may well be noted that the accusation of Richards~n 's having done the novel an injustice is quite an em pty wail. Richardson did not inRANTS 'n RAVES ject "socialist rea lism" ( an obvious error for social realism - an entirely different concept) into the film ; it was there a lready. Fielding was deeply concerned about the social conditions o f his age; this can be testified to by reference to Amelia and Joseph Andrews in which he wrote qu ite deby Jack Hardie precatingly about rural and urban The common denominator of any body of college students might be that (London) life. In Tom Jones, as well a ll shou ld have learned to read in an intelligent, even critical manner before as in the other two novels mentioned , th e time of the coming of the distribution of graduation certificates. This Fielding graphicall y described the " abil ity" (if not a necessity) is not necessa rily one " taught" in th e classroom , realistic scenes which Richard son used but one attained th rough a certain self-imposed rigor. Th ere are, to be sure, for the film - there was no fabricamany means by which the student might practice this ability and gauge his tion. Tom Jones, in novel form , covers progress; at Wilkes, for example, the student might read the Beacon. Last week's issue offered the student body a number of paragraphs of eighteen books (or 885 pages, as you critical material in discussion of the recent motion picture, Tom Jones. The will), and twenty-odd years of Tom 's discerning reader may recall some littl e of wha t was written: Tom Jones, a life. The film covered all of this in a film which wavers uncertainly between lusty sensuality and socialistic realism few hours by the use of "action and finally settles down to a highly forced a nd artificial humor." "The film- freezes" and narration. These cineing of the foxhu nt and , later , of the scenes of London 's slums, epitomizes matic techniques, far from being (director) Richardson 's dil emma of w hether to make a pure comedy or a " flashy" or "superfluous", telescoped comedy with social comment." "Much of the film is funny , but beyond some passage o f time into seconds. The narration , another of Fielding 's own sensuous humor the film has little to offer. " It is, at first, a welcom e relief in this hour to find someone who seems as methods, served the same purpose. If sure of anything , as most are o f nothing.

Joh n Sickler, Roger Squier, Dave Co ral, Todd Gibbs , Bob Kazi nsk i, Poetry's Power Perverted by Jeff Gallet John Ciardi is a poor speaker. H e breaks all o f th e rules. But somehow thi s man , this unlikely poet can hypnotize an audience. Who is this man? Who is John Ciardi? What does he have that can cast a magical spell over a room full of people? Who is this man who tells them that th ey are ignorant dead hea ds and gets away w ith it? John Ciardi is the poetry editor of the Saturday Review, a leading poet in his own right, a prize winning translator of the classics, a professor of English, and a televi sion p ersona lity. John Ciardi is a big man , barrelchested, big nosed with a somewhat deform ed left leg. John Ciardi is a schola r, a man of letters. John Ciardi uses th e language well, but he doesn 't flaunt it. An intell ectual but he has no Ph.D. to wear on his sleeve as a status sy mbol. John Ciardi is a thinker. The poet said you can't teach poetry with a categorical mind. You can't put a poem in a neat little cubbyhole . You ca n't say, in two lines explain the meaning of this poem. All an exam question such as that accomplishes is to show the ego of the instructor. What he really wants to say is "rewrite the poem the way the poet should have written it if he had been as smart as the teacher". No , that is not how to treat poetry! Poetry is rhythm and motion, feeling and emotion. Poetry shouldn 't send words to your mind; it should send pictures. Emily Dickinson in some pri vate place saying, "I'm nobody! Who are you? Are you nobody, too? Then there's a pair of us - don't tell They'd banish us, you know." should conjure up a picture in your mind. A picture of peaceful solitude possibly. But it doesn 't matter what image because poetry is personal. Why, asks Ciardi, does our educational system take third graders, children who are a great audience for poetry, and tum them into YOU. Ciardi says that, if there had been a Communist plot to make children hate poetry, they could not have done a better job than our schools have. We are taught to look at every word as a symbol, every line as a trap for the unwary reader. This is not poetry. Poetry is the whole. Poetry is relevent, to the child, to the individual. Most people graduate from high school believing that all there is to poetry is "Sonnets from the Portuguese" and "Evangeline." Poetry as an art form is something to be encoura ged. Burns' line "My love is like a red , red rose" can't be said any better. As a form of expression poetry can't be surpassed. As a stimulus to th e feelings and emotions, it is unmatched. A change in th e elementary school primers is long over-due. How long can we keep the attention of even a first grader with "Run Dick Run, Look Jan e Look" . I would rather follow Ciardi 's suggesion of taking (Continued on Page 3) �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, May 15 , 1964 Page 3 MANSILLA DEFENDS FRANCO Tobias' "Brain Child" Due Today AS PROTECTOR OF MORAL CODE by Helen Dugan $1,223 Pledged To Senior Alumni Fund Following the precedent set by the Class of '63, the Senior Class will establish an a lu mni fund wh ich will be distributed eventually by the decision of the perman en t class officers and th e tru stees of the class. A s a voluntary activity, eac h stu dent ma y pl edge as much as he wishes. This money will be collected over an indefinite period of tim e; at the end o f fi ve years the class officers and trustees will make suggestions as to what should be don e with thi s money. Ballots will be sent to those who have contributed in order tha t they may vote for one of the suggestions offered. Th e interesting features of this new idea are that now each member of the class has a vote in what is done with th e money collected, the students can join at a ny time with a full 12 months to pa y, pa ymen ts can be made in in stallm en ts, no one will be pressed into pa ying, and last, but most important, th e C ollege is highly in favor of the idea. The 1963 class has pl ed ged $2100 and has at the present time almost reach ed this goal. Al Guban ich , president of th e Class of '64. feels that his class can reach and probably surpass this amount. At a class mee ting held last Tu esda y. 11 7 students pledged a to ta l of $1223.

The reader has no doubt disce rned th e writer's desire to resolve a contended movie-book dich otomy . Support of the Dichotomy Th e va lidity o f the being of this dichotomy, however, is supported in the following manner: " the greatest fault of the film as a whole is Richardson's failure to conceive of a purely v isua l film . Films are first and for emost visua l, and reli ance on anything other than v isual images, dialogu e or na rration for exa mple , detracts from e ff ec tiveness o f the medium. Tom Jones is grossly overnarra ted and is studded with ve rbal asides to th e audience." ''Richardson' s inability to translate Fielding 's tone into visual im ages for ces him to overuse narration and negate the cinematic form ." The stand taken here is unpardonable. Fielding, himself, abounds with narration , with " asides " in an explicit reader-wri ter dialogue; this is Field in g's tone and his style. Richardson has ed ited the novel' s material , certainly, but not tone , not style. Asks Polonius, "What do you read, my lord?" Answe rs Hamlet, "Words, words , words." Literature is verbal and visual in that order. Cinema is v isual and ve rbal in contrasting order. Richardson 's Tom Jones is a uniqu e and admirable inversion of the cinematic. Richardson does not disguise or distort the written art in an a ll -toocommon , insip id, Hollywoodian manner; rather, he most effectively presents th e undiluted fl avor of a literary Fielding. Let he who wou ld read , read carefull y, rea d cautiously, be it a Fielding novel, be it a textbook, be it a Beacon, be it thi s present , ex cathedra pompousness. by Matilde Mansilla I acknowledge Miss Lord 's scholarly approa ch to the Spanish film Viridiana; however, I do not agree on several important issues. I am only going to comment on the paragraph conce rning Franco. How can a parallel between Jorge and Franco be suggested when one knows utterly nothing about the latter 's life? To imply that Franco may have banned the movie because he is a fraid of facin g his own portrait shows a lack · of knowledge concerning his personality. If th ere is something that can be confirmed about Franco, it is his sheer coura ge. Besides, even shallow know ledge of the man would immediately revea l how remote his personality is from that of Jorge. With regard to th e Church, I am a fra id that Miss Lord ha s completely mi ssed the point. First o f all, Franco, once again , is not concerned with a ny mi sconceptions which "Viridiana 's ca rd game sce ne" may develop. In banning the mov ie, Franco does nothing but w ha t a traditional Spaniard, faithful to his religiou s principles (w hi ch I hope nobody doubts}, would do . Traditiona l Spain still lives according to a severe moral code, and whether right or wrong it is Fra nco's privilege, as head of th e government, to protec t such a code. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR {Cont inued from Page 2) Gratitude Expressed Dear Editor, Four years ago, as a misguided and illiterate freshman, I walked into a class in English Composition and underwent an experience which was to affect my life from th en on. Th e "experience" was Mrs. Doris Schwarzchild, instructor. As teacher and advisor, Mrs. Schwarzchild 's pleasing mann er and keen personal interest helped me throu gh a troubled fr eshman year, and her sound counsel a nd adv ice eve r since have kept my four years at Wilkes stable and bearable. I recentl y lea rn ed tha t this is to be M rs. Schwarzchild 's last year at Wilkes ( she will b~ studying for her doctorate). I would like to thank her for a ll s he has done for me and join with her pupils in a so rrow ful farewell . Good lu ck Mrs. Schwarzchild and th a nk you.

Sincerely Don Ungemah Manuscript is a club organized for the purpose of gathering and printing creative works of th e College's students. Harris Tobias, serving as editor-in-c hi ef for the second year, said , " W e will publish anything that is of good quality and is creative: recipes, music, any thing." By "anything " Harris means any ty pe of creative work. H e doesn't mean to imply that just any work the club can get its hands on will be printed. H e admits, " I would rather print a good pamphlet than a Manuscript of low credit." Before any article is printed in the MANUSCRIPT it is read aloud before the members of the club. The article is then examined carefully through a general discussion and torn apart. Any article which can survive this ordeal is definitely of superior quality. These work shops, where th e tearing a part and putting togeth er of articles take place, are held eve ry Tu esday during regular club meetings. Th e wo rk shops a re o f great va lue to anyone interested in English a nd especiall y in writing. Through these di scussions one lea rns the art of injec ting style into an article a nd of judging the value o f articles. This year's Manuscript will be fifty -s ix pages lon g a nd will consist of twenty works from fifte en differen t a uthors. Manuscript is under the faculty advisorship of D r. Philip Rizzo. If everything is on schedule the Manuscript will he distributed today. In case of any unpredicted circum stance, it will come out on Monday. N ext year 's edito r will be Jack Hardi e.

For the past thirteen years the BEACON hai. given honors to an "Athlete of the Year" and is continuing that tradition this year. Balloting proved to be indecisive as the members of the BEACON sports staff were unable to choose between two outstanding Colonel athletes. The staff was led to choose both Brooke Yeager and Dick Morgan as this year's "Athletes of the Year." Yeager and Morgan have partici• pated in a total of eight seasons for the Colonels and their play has been consistent and dependable. Yeager is a skill ed wrestler, while Morgan is a mainstay on the soccer and basketball teams. Brooke Yeage r has been honored on numerous past occasions for his wrestling prowess. H e has been "Athlete of the Week," MAC Outstanding W res tier in the 123 pound class, and recentl y placed second in the Wilkes Open in w hich national talent was reoresented. During th e sp ring , Y eager received the Beacon " Seasonal Athl ete·· honors a nd gained th e laurels as " Outstand inq Athlete" in Wilkes College by a vote of th e entire coaching staff. The majority of these honors are based upon a vote of the entire coaching staff w hich consid ers the athlete 's sc hol arsh ip and lea dership, as well as his athl eti c prowess. On th e mats Yeager has hair-trigqned action a nd is intent on winning. These are two qualities he combines to gain an ea rly pin or a wide margined decision. In some matches Y eager wrestled in a heavier weight class than his own and usually won the match , demonstrating that his adversary' s greater weight cannot match his sk ill. It can be said that Brooke Yeager has been a standout for the Colonels during hi s entire grappling caree r. Dick Morgan graces th e socce r fi eld and basketball court with athleti c enthu siasm. Morgan is a well condi ti oned athle te a nd displays a high degree o f maneuverability w ith his fee t on the soccer fi eld . His fine work w ith th e booters earned him the position of co-captain. Morqan has lent th e soccer team his skills for the past three seasons. H e has let tered in that sport and was presented three Stagg awards. H e is one of the fin est soccer pla ye rs the Colonels have witnessed; it is notabl e that he had never played soccer before entering Wilkes. Zampetti Hits The Dirt On the basketball court Morgan proved invaluable. As a playmaker and sparkplug of the tea m he managed to keep life in the Colonels when all seemed lost. His record this past season demonstrates his spirited drive a nd defensive skill. Morgan produced two records thi s season: most points scored in a single game and most field goals in one game. He a lso shared the seasons high point honors with Dale Nicholson . The basketball and soccer tea ms w ill have a great handicap to overcome nex t season in the loss of Dick Morgan . Brooke Yeager and Dick Mors:ian now join such athletes as George Mc M a hon , first "Athlete of the Year" reci pi ent; Marv Antinnes, the only athlete to capture the award two years in a row ; and more recent recipients as Jim Brunza and Bob Herman.

Recen tly, the floor of an Indian village, containing skeletons, fish scales, pottery, and various other articles, was discovered near Nanticoke, and sites of another village were found in Plymouth. In 1961, approximately three hundred archaeologists attended a state convention for which the College granted the use of its facilities. Mr. Rusbar, who has done extensive lecturing on the subject, is available for any group which is interested in slides and information pertaining to the excavations. Students interested in the project,, which is under the direction of Mrs. George Picton, are urged to be at the site of the new athletic field tomorrow morning at 10:30. Under the supervision of members of the Frances D orrance Society, each student will be allowed to keep whatever relics he excavates and can carry home. Mr. Rusbar feels certain that, due to the abundance of relics found in the past, almost everyone who digs will find some type of relic in the excavations. MORALS ON CAMPUS PAGE 2 Friday, May 8, 1964 Candidates Present Election Platlorm Ungemah Plans Triple 11 A II Program To the Student Body of Wilkes College: My triple "A " th eme is ACTION, ABILITY, and ACHIEVEMENT. ACTION is what I will take if I am elec ted to become the President of the Student Government. In order for one to take action , he will have to move ahead. I don ' t believe that we as a s tudent body can be content with just what has been done by the Student Government, or even content with just moving along those same lines. We a lso must do more and better things. We must rely upon what CAN be done, and this is ACTION. ABILITY is what I believe I have for this job . It is true that I have not concentrated my interes ts with the Studen t Government alone, but have diversified interests. I have in the pas t been a member of IDC, the Student Union Governing Board , Treasurer of CCUN, Football manager, Studen t Activities Committee, and an officer of Butler Hall. ACHIEVEMENT is what I plan to work towards if elec ted. I believe that a great many things can be accomplished. I think that the Student Government must, as the representatives of th e student body, take th e position as a liason more and more between the Student Body and the Administration. But in doing th is it should at all times represent the student body . I think that the Student Government can at least try to do more. But the only way to do this is to stand up and be counted.

Jim Jones, Treasurer of Student Government, recently conducted a discussion for represen tatives of all campus organizations interested in new ways of increasing their club 's treasuries. In the course of discussion Jim stated that the proposed social calendar would have o nly twelve dances during the year, four of these would naturally go to the classes. H e said that th is was in line with th e Student Government's policy of promoting bigger weekends on campus next year. Jim also asked for possible suggestions for new fund-rai sing projects. H e explained the possibility of the clubs having one collective treasury to be regulated by Studen t Government , eliminating returns to the administration of fund s alloted for the ac tivities budget. This meeting was called in response to an editorial appearing in the Beacon, April l 0. The editorial called for more opportunities for small clubs to make money to carry out their Don Ungemah programs. by John Lore This year's election of the Student Government President will mark an important milestone in the history of Wilkes College. For th e first time the Presid ent will be directly elected by th e student body. The innovation is a result of th e passage by the student body of the popular election amendment along with nine other changes to th e Student Body Constitution. Under this setting , the Student Government s till retains the nomination of it's Presidential candidates, but the election is given to th e whole student body. Further, Student Government still maintains the nomination and election of its other three officers. For this initial popular election, two candidates have been nominated: Cathy D eAngelis, junior Biology major; and Don Ungemah, junior History major. These nominees explained their platform to a spec ial meeting of the student body last Tu e~day . Miss DeAngelis said that she favored th e carrying on of actions started this year by Student Government, such things as student Seminars and big weekends. She also stressed the fact that nex t year 's Student Government w ill'_ have nine new members, and while this results in new ideas and vigor, the group will need ex~ perienced leader-ship to correctly channel their energies. Un gemah's platform is based on his triple "A " theme of Action, Ability, and Achi evement. Some of his proposals are monthly seminars between Student Government and (Continued on page 4) DeAngelis Stresses "Experience" Cathy DeAng elis Travel Seminar Planned The Student Seminar Committee under the auspices of Student Government will present a seminar on American Students Abroad next week. Cha irman Sumner Hayward announced that Gail Roberts has arranged for several Wilkes Students who have traveled abroad to a ttend the seminar. Discussion will include hosteling , vacations, and winter and summer study programs. Th e seminar should be very beneficial and interesting to any students planning to study or travel abroad . Hayward requested any individual or organization interested in sponsoring a seminar next semester to speak with him about obtaining a date from the Sem inar Committee. Also , any suggestions for informative and interesting seminar topics will be welcomed by the Committee. The stu den t body of Wilkes will be faced for the first time with the problem of selecting the best candidate for th e office of Student Government President on Monday. This change to popular balloting is a good example of the transi tion that is beginning to take place at Wilkes. Our College is striving forward academically and expanding its facilities to meet th e demands of progressi ve tim es. Student Government has also recogn ized th e need for expansion and the necessity of providing for the stud ents' interests, both intellectually and socially . This past year we have innovated a program towa rds thi s end. Such changes as th e Student Seminar Program, Student Activities Nights, a nd combined high-light activities, such as the upcoming Smothers Brothers-Cinderella Ball-Spring Weekend, are only the beginning o f a much needed stimulating social calendar.

SG OFF·ERS 18 AMENDMENTS Student Government will present nineteen amendments to its constitution to the student body for ratification on May 11 . Under th ese amendm ents, a three-fourths instead of a two-thirds vote of a pproval of the Government's membership on recall , on proposed amendments, and on ove rridin g the decision of the Court of Appeals w ill make it more difficult to ve to th ese important issu es. Also considered in this change was the difficulty of obtaining a two-thirds number of sixteen , which is th e number of mem bers voting when the president abstains. C lass officers will be nominated the ninth week of th e Spring semester instead of the previously advocated tenth week, thu s allowing for two weeks of campaigning before elections. A change in the number req uired for a quorum from ten to nine is fel t necessary to facilitate the transaction of business of the Government in the early part of the Fall Semeste r. At this tim e the membership is thirteen, due to the absence of Freshman representatives who are not elected until later in the semester. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 EDITORIALS .

I would like to avail myself of the own decisions as to what is right and I know what is coming next. You We have already passed an amendment allowing the government, by its own determination , to close its meetings to the student body. This power, when exercised, would allow the government to take action without the direct scrutiny of the students. In addition , we passed another amendment allowing the government to meet as a committee of the whole. This amendment means that a meeting may be held informally and off 'the record . It further means that the Student Government President, the only school-wide popularly elected official, must yield the chair to another member of the body. Now the Government is asking us to pass another amendment. This amendment would lower the quorum needed to conduct Student Government meetings from ten members to nine members. We are offered this lo wer quorum even though th e total number of representatives ha s been increased. This mean s that, in the past, ten members out of a total of sixteen were needed to conduct business. Under the new amendment, only nine out of seventeen would be needed . Coupled with the above amendments , the dangers would be obvious. Nine members would be able to meet in secret and off the record , unseat the president, and pass legislation. In fact , only five members would have to be in favor of a motion in order to pass it. We are sure that no present representative had this in mind w hil e he was working on the amendments , but we must remember that these amendments a re also wri tten to govern Student Governments of the future . For this reason we strong ly urge a " no" vote on the amendment to Article 6, Section 5 to decrease the quorum at Student Government meetings. J.H.G. BRING YOUR SHOVEL Wilkes College is the proud owner of one fifteenth-century Indian village. The v illage is buried under the plot of land recently acquired for the new athletic field. Robert Ru sbar, president of the Frances Dorrance Chapter of_ the State Archaeological Society has invited s tudents to help m the excavation of the village. In addition to the adventure of di scovery, Mr . Rusbar has offered to let everyone keep any relic he finds . He also suggested that the material could be used for an exhibit at the college. The Archaeological Society has offered to set up the exhibit. All the college would have to do is supply the place. Of course the students invo_Jved_ woul~ have to lend their finds to the exhibit, but we don t thmk this would be a problem. An exhibit of Indian artifacts found on c~llege property would be educational, good for the college image, and very interesting. J.H .G.

The C ompany , following the recent trend towards such proj ects, made a survey of the morals of Sekliw College women. The survey, in which some 500 girls participated, was done on an anonymous basis. The girls were asked to fill out questionnaires, but were not required to sign thei r names. The results w ere. in the words o f one college official, "shocking" . On th e question of hand holding 82% of the girls admitted that at one tim e or another they had held hands with a member of the opposite sex. Of those, 54% had done it in public and 37% with more than one partner! Even more shocking was the fact that 94.2% of the girls admitted wea ring bermuda shorts in public places; 89.7% had even worn them in the vicinity of th eir town 's central business district. The college administration lost no time in taking action. Immediately the D eans sent letters to the dormitories forbidding such actions under penalty of expulsion. A student assembly was held, and the students were instructed concerning the dangers of these immoral acts. It was explained that th e dangers were two-fold ~ th e reputations of both the coll ege and the individual were involved. The Dormitory Council, acting w ith characteristic speed and dispatch after only ten minutes of debate, passed a resolution endorsing th e Administration's stand. A representative of the organization said , "We feel that these regulations encourage dignity and maturity and will make the dormitory students feel more at home ." ,The Student Council , after meeting in an executive session as a committee of the whole, decid ed to postpone any action on this subject for a t leas t two weeks. The Council's publicity chairman told the press, ··w e need time for furth er study. W e wouldn't want to take any impetuous action on a subject as grave as th is." He did say , though, that the Council planned to hold a student seminar on th e subject. Various ex planations have been given for this situa tion. Leading among th em is the penniless condition of college students. They simply do not have the money to buy gloves during the winter, and they find handholding a partially acceptable substitute. Furthermore, bermuda shorts being only twothirds of a pair of slacks are more suited to the students' pocketbooks. Some community leaders, aghast at th e survey 's revelations have demanded that the college take stronger action to try to arrest the growing infirmity of moral turpitude infecting our young citizens. One college official best summed up the adult community's reaction to the w hole furor by saying, "It 's more uncouth to wea r shorts than to cuth." WHEN * wrong w ithin the framework of legality.

Right? Wrong : you might end up up with the film version of Tom Jones, a film which wavers uncertainly between lusty sensuality and socialistic realism and finally se ttles down to a highly forced and artificial humor. There are two things about Richardson, as a director, that are notably consistent. Both Tom Jones and The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, Richard son 's ea rli er and also highl y successful film , are taken from works of fiction ; one from a classic English novel, the other from a contemporary English short story. Both originals are far better than Richardson's usual interpretation of them. Tom Jones is further from Fielding than Loneliness is from Sillitoe's. Richardson 's other consis tency is more fortunate and is his one virtue as a· director. Tom Courtney in Loneliness and Alb ert Finney in Tom Jones are both gifted young actors discovered by Richardson .

Art Club Prepares For Annual Art Fair To Be Held Here Next Weekend by Andrea T emplar An obscure legend has it that Chase Hall was once used for the filming of horror movies. Chase's career supposedly blossomed about forty years ago under the direction of the Black Diamond Motion Picture Company. The building 's abundance of secret panels and passages effectively provides a setting for any Gothic novel, or fitting residence for any respectable vampire. Inside the main door, to the left and right are two panels which open at the release of a doorbell-like spring. Although they are now a telephone booth and a broom closet, respectively, undoubtedly they once provided a vampire with excellent means of disposing of the golden-haired young ladies he lu red into his parlour. If he chose, however, to invite his victim into the main room to enjoy a toast of sherry, he might whisk her away by any one of its hidden egresses. Flanking the fire place are two panels which also operate on the spring principle. Once closed they can only be opened by someone standing behind them ( another vampire, perhaps.) Another choice might be to use the mahogany door which otherwise remains flush against the panelled wall, its ominous sec ret undetectable. If the young lady is perceptive, she may suspect her host's actual motives. If she seeks refuge aga inst the mirrored wall outside Mr. Hoover 's office (vampires wither at the sight of mirrors, crucifixe s, herbs), she finds it not the protection it appears to be, but a hidden door leading to , of all places, the kitchen . Note: To substantiate the possibility o f the vampire's existence, upon close inspection no rosemary bushes nor bay leaf branches are found in Chase's garden. Motion Picture Fame During the period of Chase 's stardom , Wilkes-Barre itself also appeared to be heading toward motion picture fame.

The Warner Trio. Where? On campus (and Channel 28). When? Anytime ( advertising Stegmaier Beer) . Bob D anchek, George Evancho, and Nick Stefanoski comprise th e new Warner Trio which originated from the most obvious dorm on campus. D anchek, Evancho, and Stefanoski, along with D on Austin, the drummer, can be seen on tel evision giving the Stegmaier Beer commercial a hootenanny flavor. The Trio has made several appearances throughout Wyoming Valley which played an important role in securing th ei r television debut. The success of the Trio can be attributed to the natural talent of these men , since they have never taken lessons individually or as a group. Stefanoski has been playing the guitar for two years and Evancho has been strumming for four years. Danchek plays the guitar and can also handle the banjo if th e occasion calls for Nick Stefanoski, Bob Danchek, and some fast foot-stomping. George Evancho tune up.

The '64 Amoicola is under the able edito rship of Bob Hrynkiw, who is assisted by Keith Ackerman. Chester Colson serves as faculty advisor. The perfect pictures of life at the College are being sought by the photograph ers-Bill Williams, Nick Wartella, and Angelo Speziale. In order to insure artistic unity the art work w ill be done exclusively by Joe Lipinski and Jane Kindervater. This year's issue will be 206 pages in length and will again be published by the Taylor Company . Instead of th e usual four color s hots there will be ten this year and sixteen more pages will be added. The Amnicola has netted its first deadline date. At this time the first eighty pages were sent to the printer. Among these eighty pages are the individual faculty shots, senior pictures, campus personalities, and Who's Who. In June, the remaining 126 pages will be sent to the printer. The yearbook will be ready for distribution in September, 1964.

Nevertheless, the student body has failed to exhibit moral support by attending the con, tests. We feel that one reason may be due to an inadequate knowledge of the rules. In carrying through with a precedent set by a similar article on wrestling earlier in the year, the staff wishes to briefly outline some of the rules of play and the method of scoring in an attempt to boost attendance at the meets. Starting the game - Each game is started with one player acting as server. The server stands behind the right side of th e base line to deliver the serve. Wh en served, the ball must fall w ithin the bounds of the receiving court diagonally opposite the server. A second serve is allowed if the first fails to land in the designated area. A point is gained by the receiver if bo th serves are faults - that is, if both fai l to land in the receiving court. players until one fails to return the ball across the net , or hits the ball out of bounds. The server makes a new serve wh en the ball is not returned. The second service - The second service is from the left side of the base line. The serve continues to alternate from side to side until the end of the game. At the end of the game, the receiver becomes the se rver and viceversa. The winner of six games, by a two game margin, wins a "set," and th e winner of the best out of three se ts wins the " match." In college play, there a re six singles match es and three doubles matches. Return of the service and rules of play - The serve must be returned on the first bounce, but other balls may be returned either on the first bounce or before touching the ground . Th e ball is hit back and forth between Scoring - Each ball not returned gives th e opponent a point. The points are des ignated as follows : 1st point - 15 2nd point - 30 3rd point - 40 4th point - 60 one game In order to win a game, the margin of victory must be at least 2 points. If both sides reach 40, the situation is called deuce, and one side or the other must gain a 2 point margin to win. A score of O is called love. Intramural Results Wednesday, April 29 Games postponed until May 15th Playing in a driving rainstorm , the Wilkes College golf team bowed to Susquehanna Uni versity last Thursday, 13½-4½. Coincidentally, last year 's match between the two foes was played under similar conditions and the id entical score was turned in, with Wilkes the v ictor, however. In Thursday 's match , the only victors for the Colonels were Jim Ward , who downed his opponent 2½-½. and Bob Myers, a 2-1 w inner over his foe. The loss brought the Wilkes record to 1-3.

The idea of an intramural track meet was initiated last yea r; however, it did not attain the enthusiasm and support which was hoped for. Although many team rosters were submitted only two teams actually participated in the meet. It is hoped that thi s will not occur again this year. This idea of an intramural track meet was sugg ested last year by Beacon Sports Editor Clark Line. Clark got the idea from Temple Uni versity, which he attended in his freshman year. An intramural track meet is common in many schools and should be an exciting addition to the intramural program at Wilkes. depend ent Division and a Dormitory Division. Dormitories are urged to enter full teams so that a team champion can be determined. There will be a team champion in the Independent Div ision if enough teams are entered. Otherwise this division will run for individual championships. All entries must be handed in to Mr. Reese by Monday, May 18. No entries will be accepted after this time. In order to make it fair for everyone track shoes will not be allowed. Reese also added that individuals w ill be allowed to partitipate in four events.

An award of this ty p e was non-existent in the past; howe ver, due to the superb performance of rookie coach Arthur Hoover, it was deemed necessa ry to present such an award. Although somewhat hesitant and envious, coaches Reese and Schmidt with the cooperation of Chuck Robbins concluded that Hoover was undoubtedly entitled to receive the award. U nfortunately Hoover was unable to attend the dinner due to previous commitments; however, the award was presented at a later date. Hoover's great performance came when he was asked to fill in for Reese at a J.V. wrestling meet with D elaware Valley. The colonel squad fought hard but were left at the short end of a 2 1- 13 score, leaving Hoover with a lifetime record of no wins and one loss. H oover attributes the loss to the poor pre-match preparation by Coach Reese. Actually the loss came about by Don D eFranco Monday, May 4 , proved to be 'Black Monday' for th e Wilkes College tennis team as they suffered a depressing defeat at the hands of Moravian College, 9-0. The score, however, is not indicative of the fine spiri t displayed by the Colonels as they fought valiantly in the face of overwhelming odds. C oach MacFarland's sq uad was at a disadvantage even before ste pping on the court because of th e loss of captain Gary Einhorn through illness. As a result, each of the members of the team was moved up a slot and forced to play an opponent of a somewha t higher seeding. As the match progressed, the disadvantages became more obvious, but th e superior ability of the 'Hounds cannot be slighted . Competi tion for berths on the Moravian squad was so fierce that only three of six returning lettermen could make the team this year, and the number 1 man on the squad was a sophomore. The bleakest part of the afternoon occurred at the number 3 position w here Bill Douglas suffered defea t a fter scoring 18 straight w ins over the past 2 seasons. Douglas lost to George Kelhart, a former Junior Davis Cup Champion and undefeated thus far this year. Th e outstanding quality of the Moravian team is evidenced by this match in that Kelhart ranked only 3rd, two places behind the top men. A l Doner played an impressive match for the Colonels as he moved into the vacancy left through the loss of Einhorn. Th e match was Doner's first in varsity competition. In spite of the devas tating loss and the subsequent demoralizing effect on the team, the Colonels are confident of victory in their future matches. Tomorrow the netmen take on a potentially dangerous Ursinus team and the following Saturday they have a return engagement with Moravian. ASSISTANT TO DEAN OF MEN SELECTED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE when the colonels forfeited the 130 pound class giving thei r opponents the edge. Hoover's background has been one of many awards. After graduating from N ewport High School in 1951 , he entered Wilkes. W hile at Wilkes he was elected president of Student Government and was named to Who 's Who. H e was also a member of ICG and served as Business Manager of the Beacon for four years. Upon graduating from Wilkes, he was named the Outstanding G raduate o f the Year and selected as permanent President of th e Class of '55.

Among those who went down to defeat were Junior Class president, Al Gilb ert; Sophomore Class president, Bob D ee ts; and Student Government secretary, Vicki Tatz. The Sophomore Class retained only three of its eight officers in an election - marked by bitter campaigning. Joe Chanecka, a dormitory student from Binghamton, New York, defeated the incumbent Bob Deets and the incumbent vice-president Phil Cheifetz for the presidency in a close race. To Student Government, the class elected Ron Searfoss and John Cavallini and re-elected Harry Wilson and Simon Russin .

Coms~ock's only challenge came from Larry Gubanich, brother of the current Senior Class President, who came within twenty-eight votes of victory. The class turned down the re-election bids of Steve Paradise, ending his three year tenure on the Student Government and Marie Shutlock, who was running as a junior although she is serving on the Student Government as a sophomore. The victors were incumbents Cathy De Angelis and Don Ungemah; incumbent vice-president, Ken Antonini; and a dark horse, John Lore.

Friday, May 1, 1964 De ANGELIS, UNGEMAII NOMINATED HAMPTON EXCHANGE COMPLETED AS 16 SPEND WEEKEND AT WILKES by Andrew Thorborn This weekend Wilkes will serve as host to six teen students from Hampton Institute in Virginia. The weekend will complete the annual exchange program between the two schools which was begun in 1956 through th e close friendship between Dean Ralston and D ean Hawkins of Hampton. Two weeks ago, twelve Wilkes students, accompanied by George Elliot and Millie Gittens, spent an active weekend at Hampton as guests of the Hampton students. Th e Wilkes students left by car after classes Wednesday afternoon, April 15, spent the night in Bowie Md. and arrived at Hampton on Friday, about 4 p.m. The weekend's activities began immediately after dinner with an informal fellow ship hour aimed at giving the Wilkes visitors a chance to meet as many Hampton students as possible. "' Friday was one of the busiest days of the entire weekend. The morning was devoted to visiting classes and the afternoon featured a tour of th e beautifully-landscaped campus. In addition to the natural beauty of th e campus, the v isitors were treated to a tour of the new two-million-dollar communication building. This modern concrete structure, eventually to house all - departments of oral and written communication, contains one of the finest little theaters in the country - complete with a revolving stage, a fully equiped television studio, and fully -operative radio station. In addition, it houses the music department, including practice rooms and a small rec ital ~ hall , and a modern language lab. Th e social highlight of the weekend was th e dinner-dance Saturday night in a private club near the campus. This was the last official event of the weekend, and Sunday morning , after church services, the students left Virqinia and the 80-degree temperature for the cold and rain of th e Wyoming .. Valley. Y es terday , the Hampton students arrived to complete th e exchange. After arriving and eating in the cafeteria , th e visitors were shown to the dorm s where th ey will stay for the rest of the weekend. In the evening, an informal get-together was held in the new Snack Bar to which all Wilkes students were invited. Today , th e Hampton students are free to visit classes on our campus, and tonight , there will be a free dance in the Gym , featuring the Concepts, a singing group. Saturday, the students who went to Hampton and the I.D.C. which sponsors the program, will join the Hamptonians in a picnic as the guests of Dr. and Mrs. Rosenberg. Saturday night, th e same group will attend a buffet dinner at th e Europa Lounge here in Wilkes-Barre. The v isitors from Hampton plan to leave for home at 12 Sunday morning , but judging from past years, both th e guests and th e hosts will see that their departure is delayed for some lengthy good-byes. Students Decide May 11 by A. M. Airola The most important topics of Monday night's Student Government meeting were discussions concerning the newly passed Constitutional Amendments, and the nomination of candidates for Student Government President. President Ridi_ilrd Bums• prefaced his remarks by saying that this is the first time that Wilkes College has directly elected its Student Government President. He emphasized the point that this is a trial period, and that all membens of the student ~ dy should take the election seriously, and vote for the candidate they honestly think would pro·: vide the most · effective leadership for Student Government in the coming year. SCIENCE ACADEMY INDUCTS YEVITZ by Lois Dr. P . C. Martin, president of the P ennsylvania Academy of Science, recently notified Marguerite Yevitz, freshman chemistry major, that she has received membersh ip in the Academy. College professors almost entirely constitute th e organization; Marguerite is one of the few undergraduates ever invited to join. Th e young scientist attended the Academy's spring meeting conducted during the Easter recess at Penn State Universi ty . The purpose of th e gathering was to familiarize members with the latest achievements in science. Many professors delivered papers on their recent research. Marguerite, the sole undergraduate in attendance, was asked to give her paper entitled " Protection from Total Body Irradiation." The essence of Margu erite's paper, written after much individual research , is " ra diation protection in a bottle." In her laboratory work, the young chemist fed a number of agents to mice prior to a lethal dose of radiation with a controlled group of mice. After this irradiation , all of the controll ed animals were dead , while the treated animals showed no ill effects. The agents which have shown the most promise to Marguerite are an PROSPECTIVE FROSH PREVIEW COLLEGE LIFE by Sandra Gassner Over 200 prospective day and res' ident stud ents were on hand to view college life on ca mpus. For the first tim e local students participated in the I.D.,<;::. sponsored " Freshman W eekend . As the students began to arrive ea rly Friday afternoon , they were welcomed in the different dorms where they were to stay for the nex t few days. Friday evenin(:I these futur e students were served dinner at th e Commons after which they were given some time to rest and prepare for th e evening ahead. At 7:30 they were entertained at a film given by the Manuscript entitled "Viridiani". This marked th e first event of the long weekend ahead. At 9:30 the prospective freshmen were guests at the " Freshm en Frolic" , a dance sponsored by the Accounting Club. Members of the different stud ent organizations were on hand to make eve ryone feel at home and have a good time. The music was provi ded by the "Starfires" and the Wilkes Collegians provided inter- mission entertainment. The long program for Saturday began with a me eting of both the day , and resident students in the gym. The D ean of Women, Margaret Ahlborn , a nd th e Dean of M en, George Ralston , welcomed the freshmen and gave brief talks on "College Life". Alphonso Zawadski also talked about college finances . Following the meeting the students were given a glimpse of what a typical class would be like by attending mock classes conducted by Stanley Gutin , Dr. Robert Riley , Rob(Continued on page 3) Petroski ultraviolet, light-absorbing benzophenone, Uvinul MS-40, and ethyl alcohol. The young woman describes the person who is most likely to survive radiation fall -ou t as " he who is caught dead drunk in an underground cold-storage cellar." A discussion succeeded Marguerite's report at Penn State. Academy mem bers advised her to continue working along the same lines. "Protection from Total Body Irradiation" will appear in the summer issue of the Duquesne University Science Counselor and in the March issue of the Pennsylvania Academy of Science newsletter. While still a student at the local St. Nicholas High School, the young woman first integrated the paper for the 1962 King's College Science Fair, in which Marguerite gained th e outstanding honor of being the first girl ever named Grand Champion. Preceding completion of her paper, she did immense researc h at King 's, where the Biology Department chairman, Reverend William H . Donahue, advised her a great deal because of the deep interest he took in her work. Marguerite continued to prepare her radiation paper and, with it, captured the Grand Championship in the University of Scranton Science Fair, also held in 1962. In addition, she took first place in Biology at Scranton. By winning , she gained an all-expense-paid jet trip to the National Science Fair International in Sea ttle , Washington. H ere Marguerite received a fourth place award in medicine and health. Also on the young woman's impressive list of scientific honors is a first place award in chemistry at the 1962 and 1963 State meetings of the Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science held at Kutztown . Marquerite was also winner of the Pennsylvania Science Talent Research project, and was selected as regional delegate to the Fourth Youth Conference on the Atom held in Chicago. Before the opening of nominations there was a short hassel concerning whether or not Seniors would be allowed to vote. However, because of the way in which the newly passed amendment concerning the direct election of President was written, Seniors will be allowed to vote. Nominations were opened and Cathy D e Angelis and Don Ungemah were selected to vie for the Presidential spot. In a surprise attempted draft , John Lore was nominated but declined and refrained from giving any reason . In an interview Tuesday afternoon, both Cathy and Don said that they were eager to face a popular election for President. Both mentioned that they were happy that the election of the Student Government President was now before the entire Student Body . When asked what issues they hoped to stress in their campaigns, Don said that he would campaign on the basis of '' not what has been done, but what can be don e." Cathy, on the other hand, said that her primary concern was to carry on the work that had been started this year. She approved strongly the apparent willingness of Student Government to take a stand upon specific issues, such as the recent stand taken on the prompt dismissal of classes. She hopes to see a continuation of the trend of planning "big weekends." Also, Cathy expressed the desire to see the establishment of regular meetings between administration and Student Government leaders. Don, maintaining his desire for forward progress, hopes that Student Government will take a definite stand (Continued on page 2} SPECIAL MEETING OF STUDENT BODY Tuesday, 11 :00 a.m. - Gym Cathy DeAngelis and Don Ungemah, Student Government presidential nominees, w i I I speak to students.

We are referring, of course, to the enthusiasm which was generated by the candidates at each class level. academic year, and crawle d out, depressed by its bald shock techniques and its complete cynicism. The emotional Posters were so numerous that many students had difficulty recognizing the various buildings on campus simply because most of them were so completely covered with them that it was impossible to decide whether they were class buildings or political head quarters. In addition to the posters, parades, political rallies, and personal contact were all part of the campaign. The result of this was the largest Student election vote in the history of the college. Analysis of the cause and effect relationship of this event discloses the fact that the result of this over-whelming turnout at the polls was the enthusiasm generated by the respective candidates. This conclusion raises a very interesting question with regards to the other "activities" conducted by other campus organizations. If candidates were able to encourage a large turnout at the polls, why, we ask, can't club members use the same technique to insure the success of their club sponsored projects. With the proper amount of honest enthusiasm internally generated, financial failures would be unheard of, and clubs would function more coherently, both as an operating unit and financial success. Money problems would disappear and apathy would be nonexistent. A remedy is known, the procedure is simple ... let us just follow in the path which has been cleared for us by our leaders. J.J.K. NO 'THING' Sixteen students from Hampton Institute arrived at the ton exchange, the purpose of which is to promote understandCollege yesterday to complete the ninth annual Wilkes-Hamping and to offer an experience not gained from mere academic studies. While not undermined, the purpose is perhaps relegated to the rear during the exchange, for, after speaking with those who have visited Hampton, one is left feeling as though something was left unsaid. Few mention the word " understanding." This in itself is understandable for many Things are designed for the promotion of understanding. And Things spend the rest of their time endeavoring to prove it. Understanding itself, however, is a feeling , not a " doing." Such adjectives as " gratifying" and "pleasing" do not exactly explain what happens in the Wilkes-Hampton exchange program. But then, how do you explain the sight of a rainbow in the sky reflected in a raindrop? A.P. Welcome, Hampton.

I would like to clear up one point, however. I never write anything without signing my name and having it printed. I had given one of my friends my NSA letter, and this person apparently did not realize that I wanted my name printed. Therefore, I hope in the next issue you can mention who wrote the letter. Anyone who wri1es an anonymous letter is being dishonest with his own integrity. I hoP,e: I am not. Thank you.

Kla ips impact, negative and non-carthartic though it may be, is strong. There is no sweetness or light in the devastating picture of rural Spain, catching up on a technological lag uder th e master-minding of Jorge, a twentieth-century Nietzschean illegitima te son and heir to an estate that has been neglected by his wealthy landowner father Jaime, lost in an erotically wishful past. Certainly what Bunuel, director and collaborating script writer, had to say has been said many times. Charity is outdated. The Flesh is the Word. Etreme poverty degrades and turns men into pigs. Christ's teachings are a mockery in our world. The film won the Grand Prix at the 1961 Cannes Film Festival. This is understandable because it is, despite its pessimism, stark, bold, and artful. Some of its power lies in exaggerations, in its prototypal characters, in its use of tradi tional symbols in a more objective manner than those of Bergman. Its startling realism is carried almost to the point of melodrama. Even the young and fair novitate Viridiana with her sen timental charity shows traces of spiritual weakness and misdirection early. As her name , from the Latin: green, fr esh, indicates, she symbolizes Christian idealism a nd wa nts a life of service to the Church. Against her instincts she visits her Uncl e Jaim e before taking her final vows. His drugging ruse , his subsequent deception when he cannot take her, and his suicide cause her to renounce , direct service to religion. The sheltering of a group of th e blind, th e deformed , the hopelessly impoverished on the country estate, inherited w ith Jorge, is a substitute; but she is broken w hen the mendicants, left alone, engage in a wild orgy and on her return assault her. Disillusioned , she g::ies to Jorge's room to lea rn "to play cards" with his servantmistress and him . This is her penance and her death. This is the bare and ugly continuity. Symbols carry heavy weight in the th ematic treatmen t. The Christ-like properties of Viridiana are concretized in the crown of thorns she wears , in the nails and th e Cross before w hich she prays. The crown is later destroyed in a cleaning-up bonfire. H er innocence is th e child's whose skipping rope is at first a thing of innocence and play. The same rope becomes in turn a noose with which Uncle Jaime hangs himself, a belt for th e lascivious beggar's trousers, and a sign of desperate hanging on to the las t shred of purity in the scene where she is attacked.

C athy and D on agreed that next year holds special promise for Student Government because of the excellent choice of Student Government Representatives by the Student body. Concerning qualifications, Cathy has held important offices throughout her three years, She has been Freshman Class President, Secretary of Student Government in her sophomore year, Vice-President this year, and is currently in her third year as VicePresident of Sterling Hall, Don, also has had a wide degree of experience in his three years at Wilkes. He has been a member of Student Government this year, a member of the Student Union Governing Board, a member of I.D.C., football manager in his sophomore year, and an officer of Butler Hall. Elections for Student Government President and presentation of eighteen more Constitutional Amendments will be Monday , May 11 , 1964. Sample ballots of the Amendments will be ava ilable before the election. Attempts are a lso being made to secure th e use of vot in g machines for this election. Following the election of President, Student Government will nominate and elect its Vice-President, Treasurer, and Secretary for next year. In a white-black contrast, Jorge , the handsome, confident Ma ster, modernizes the estate a nd scorns her piety. H e is the superman. However, in his purchase of the weary dog, tied and running under the wagon, and in his bribing of the diseased beggar to murder th e assaulter of Viridi ana, there , are glimmerings of unsentimental feeling. H e is power; he is ruthlessness; he is "modern" man, eschewing moral codes other than his own. Did Franco ban the film because he saw too many parallels to his own career? O r was he perturbed at the aspersions cast on th e Church 's power machinations and a mbiguities when Viridiana sat down to th e card game - and the Master smiled in triumph? Whose face was Franco saving by th e film blackout? Do you think such an ethical code can be w ritten? If so, exactly what points should be included ? Think about these qu estions, and express your opinion at the seminars to be scheduled.

The Wilkes College baseball diamond had this atmosphere last week in its game with Lebanon Valley, where the Colonels showed their "'stuff" in all positions. The Beacon sports staff covered this game and from it the selection of '" Athlete of the Week"" was made. This issue's choice is southpaw Rick Klick. Rick attended Kingston High School and lettered in football, basketball and baseball. He was a member of the Key Club and the National Honor Society . In his senior year at Kingston, he co-captained the football team, which produced a winning season. In 1962, Rick entered Wilkes and in his freshman year played football and baseball. His performance on the baseball team earned him a letter that year. Now in his sophomore year, he intends to put his main efforts in baseball. Lefty starts slow Rick, a lefty , pitches true to form in most games, starting slow and ending strong. He states that the first inning is his most difficult, but he qainst control as the game progresses. Rick has begun to rely on his curve ball to pull him out of tight spots. In the contest with Lebanon Valley, Rick pitched every inning in the 14 stanza contest. In that game, 3 of the 4 runs scored against him were unearned. Rick credits the whole team with the win, but the staff feels that his coolness under pressure was the outstanding factor in the victory. The team sports a 3-4 record, and Rick predicts the team will end the season with a majority of wins. The standing line-up is all veterans, and the prospects do look good. Rick is a sophomore Commerce and Finance major. With two more years to go, he is one of the reasons for optimism on the Colonel baseball squad. For this reason and for performance last week, the Beacon presents him with "'Athlete of the Week" honors. TWO CONTESTS TOT AL 30 INNINGS AS WILKES WINS IN 14, LOSES IN 16 Rick Klick . . .

Rick Klick went the distance on the mound for Wilkes, picking up strength as the game went along. Even in the extra innings, Klick appeared as if he was breezing along on his record win , gaining 6 of his t I 3 strikeouts in the overtime stanz~s. Lebanon Valley drew first blood on a freak infield error in the 5th . Th e three runs plated by the Flying Dutchmen in that inning were all unearned. In the home team half of the same inning, D el Giberson smashed a long drive to centerfield ending up on 2nd with 2 R.B.I. "s to his credit. Wilkes came back in th e 8th to take a 4-3 lead , but Lebanon Valley ~notted the score in the top of the 9th to send the game into overtime. Matt Himlin put the clin cher on the game in the 14th by singling in John Uhl w ho opened the fram e with a si ngl e. Klick aided his own cause by sac rificing Uhl to third after the Colonel backstop advanced to 2nd on a wild pitch. Klick allowed only 7 hits .

Today we are asked to choose class officers and Cinderella, and ratify amendments to the student government Constitution. All of us who sit in the ca£ complaining about the present state of affairs now have the chance to change them. Beat you to the polls! WHAT MAKES GENNIE RUN? Friday, April 24, /' Rants 'n Raves Duty, Honor, Country by A. M. Airola "Duty-Honor-Country. Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, and what you w ill be. They are your rallying points: to build courage when courage seems to fail; to regain faith when th ere seems to be little ca use for faith ; to create hope when hope becomes forlorn ." D ouglas MacArthur ment reaffirm their belief in free enterprise , and at the next conspire to fix prices in industry? Flag waving editorials try to convince us that the conspirator and the slanderer are only minorities. NO! NO! Those people are not a minority. With pride we say that we have no racial problems in WilkesBarre. And yet, a brick is thrown. Was that brick-thrower a minority? Or, perhaps, did not some of us sit back and acquiesce in our opinions? Did not some of us agree? Or, worse ye t, did not some o f us even lack the courage to commit ourselves in either direction and merely say nothing? What do Duty and Honor mean to such people? Is one ·s duty to his company so great that he must prostitute his honor in order to cheat and steal by fixing prices at the expense of free enterprise? D oes duty to country mean so little? Letters to the editor or sermons do little because each one of us disassociates ourselves from the conspira tor or sland erer: W e are not guilty o f fixing prices; we did not throw a brick. We turn to each other wi th smug smil es of complaisance. Who did do those things? The person who was caught; certainly not us. A man died recently a man of hi gh ideals. He was laid to rest in a memorial. P erhaps we have buried his concep tion of "Duty, Honor, Country" with him. Another monument to something whic h once was, another mon• ument to a people that were. What is the solution to this hypocrisy? It is our Duty not only to respect the rights of others, but to defend those rights against the brick-thrower. Similarly we are Honor bound to protect free enterprise from the selfish conspirator. Only through such appli cations of Duty, and Honor can our Country hope to rema in viable. What makes Genevieve Blatt run? Why did Miss Blatt, a long time organization stalwart and State Secretary of the party A man died recently , a man whose organization, oppose the organization designee for U.S. Senator? hi'~h id eals can be expressed by th e The SUNDAY INDEPENDENT, in an unsigned political tll,rree words he used so often, and column, suggested the reason she is running is to soften up Judge whic h we have come to regard as of American ideals, "Duty, Michael Musmanno for the Fall elections and therefore help symbolic Honor, Country." Are these the ideals Senator Scott. that we profess and believe. or have We cannot go along with that theory. The INDEPEN- we slipped further and further away who conspires to ch ea t DENT assumes that Musmanno would be a stronger candidate from those beliefs and ideals which andThestealman is the man w ho sits next to the foundation stones of Amerithan Miss Blatt in the Fall. We remind the INDEPENDENT were can democracy?

For the most part, these changes will effect only incoming freshm en. However, upper-classmen will have to ad just their courses to the changes. The presen t requirements for one semester survey courses, such as Biology 100 and Sociolog y 100, will be extended to include two full semesters or Biology 101 and 102 and Sociology 101 and 102. This change will necessitate the need for more close counselling between students and advisors. Previously , the catalogue requirements under which all students originally registered prov ided for the basic survey courses. Howeve r, in some cases the student may fulfill his course requirements by registering for one semester of the two-semester courses. In other cases, both semes ters are necessa ry to fulfill the stud ent 's req uiremen ts. Another major change will include the corporation of these general subject requirements into th e total Bachelor of Arts progra m: English 101, 102, 151, 152; Hi story IOI, 102; Philosophy IO I, I 02; Fine Arts IOI or Music I 00; Foreign Languages I 01, 102, 103, 104; Math ema tics 10 1, 102, Physics 101 , 102, or Biology 101 , 102; Econom ics PIOI, 102, yPolitical Science IOI , 102, sycholog IOI , 102, or Soc iology IOI, 102; Physical Education 101, 102. 103, 104, 105, 106. The req uired program for the education curriculum has also been greatly altered. Th e Bachelor of Science d egree in Education has been eliminated from the curriculum. Students who pla n to teach either at th e elementary or secondary level must choose a major from one of the major subject areas. This subj ec t must be chosen from those listed under th e Bachelor o f Arts o r Bachelor of Science degree programs. Th e individual department will then advise the stud ent on what su bjects he should take to fulfill the state teaching certification requirements, which can be scheduled as electi ves in his junior and se nior yea rs. T eaching certification requirements necessa ry for most s tates can be met at th e College. Howeve r, s tudents are ex pected to familiarize themselves wi th s pec ifi c state requirements. In addition to changes in the curri culum , there have also been many changes in the catalogue itself. A number of new sections have been added by the Administra tion. A special section devoted to social activ ities has been added to interest prospective fr eshmen. A sec tion on buildings and plant expla ins the significance of each building on campus. •••••••••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••••••••••• Loo k You r Best . . . LEWIS-DUNCAN .

With this the Beacon resumes its selection of the outstanding campus athletes. Bill Douglas, a handy man with the tennis racket , looms as this issue's "Athl ete of the Week." Bill , a junior, is a business Administra tion major residing in Barre Hall. Bill hails from Montrose, Pennsy lvania and had a commendable athletic background during his high school career. H e was a member of the basketball team, which placed second in state competition. Rill was also a memb er of the track team while attending high school. Here at Wilkes, Bill also contributes his efforts to th e intramural basketball and football leagues. Bill is currently aiding th e tennis team in attempting to build an interest in the sport. Bei ng a consistent win ner, Bill is especially outstanding in singles matches. Last year Bill produced an unblemished singles record and is continuing along an identical road this season. To date he ha s won fifteen consecutive singles matches and has exhibited many fin e performances in the doubles events which he has participated in. Bill has stated hi s desire for an increase in interest in tennis by the student body and feels that the tea m would be greatly supported by an increase in attendance at the matches. Bill's play has certainly been one of the main reasons the Colonels look forward to a winning season.

Outstanding tea m play was instrumental in gaining the win as Bill Douglas, Gary E inhorn and Dave Closterman turned in twin victories for th e day. The Colonels took three of the six singles matches and made a clean sweep of the doubles. Einhorn, playing exce ptionally consistant tennis, overcame his opposition 6-2, 6-4. Closterman, inconsistent at first, lost the opening set 4-6. Not ready to give up , he pushed hard and overcame a deficit of 0-3 in the second set to eventually win it 6-4 and fol lowed this with a beautiful 3rd set win of 6-3. Douglas smashed his way to another one of his many triumps 6-2, 6-3.

Jed M iss G enevieve Bla tt , Sta te Secretary o f Internal Affai rs an d candida te fo r Uni ted S ta tes Senate , in an exclusive inte rv iew with th e Beacon, pl edged that she would be in favor of outright grants to depressed a reas. She expla ined that the present system o f ma tching grants is ina dequa te because the areas that need it don 't have the money to ma tch. She further stated that she thought there was a great need for a domestic peace corps as supported by President Johnson. She said, "We can put boys and girls to work training in libraries, ALL WE WANT IS YOUR BLOOD hospitals, schools, settlement houses, courts, children's homes, parks, and playgrounds." She also pledged support for research into new uses for coal saying, "I feel most deeply about the need for the expansion of research and development of new uses for coal and its by-products, and I shall direct my best effort toward this goal. We know in the Department of Internal Affairs' Topographic and Geologic Survey that a breakthrough is near in discovering new applications for this resource so vital to the economic health of the hard-pressed coal regions.

She went on to sa y she would have supported certa in other candid a tes ha d th ey been nominated by the D emocratic pa rty orga nization, including Sta te Sena tor C asey o f Scra nton. She strongly urged· Judge Musmanno to give up his judicial post if he wishes to make a bid for office. When asked whether she would resign her own state post, she stated, " There is a world of difference between an ad- ministrative and a judicial post." She pointed out that legal canons require a judge participating in partisan politics to resign. There are no such requirements of an administrative or legislative office. Miss Blatt clarified her position on a id to education on the primary, secondary, and collegiate levels by saying she w as strongly in favor of fed eral aid to all .

This is the very first time an eight-piece band - four singers, four musicians - will play for a Friday night dance. The Economics Club is presenting the Endells, a rock'n roll band from Baltimore, at the Friday night dance. The band', costing $400 (bands the past have rarely been paid more than $100 for a weekly dance at Wilkes), has played at Cornell, Penn State, Lehigh, Dickenson, and Bucknell. This is the very first time the Endells have played in Wyoming Valley. Evidently, the Economics Club is entering a rather passionate love. affair with Chance. And it is probably the very first time one would want his love affair well-attended. It is the very first time that admission to a Friday night dance will be one dollar. Four hundred dollars must be. made; Chance must be. paid. The Economics Club is heavily publicizing this dance. Posters have been sent to King's, Misercordia, Scranton University, Marywood, Penn State. Extension, and Wilkes-Barre Business College. Local radio stations and newspapers have also received releases about the dance. An all-out effort has been made by the Economics Club to have as many in attendance as possible. NOW, IT IS UP TO YOU. The Economics Club is taking a chance. And the reason for the flirtation with Chance? Joe D eMarco, President of the Economics Club: " Students complain that there's not enough s~ial life on ca~pus. By bringing in. the Endells from Baltimore, the Economics Club has tned to arouse enthusiasm among the students for school affairs. Should the dance become a failure, Jet's not hear about social life on campus, for we are to blame, and not the administration." The same case may be presented by those who have endeavored and succeeded in taking the Cinderella Ball out of the gym. If the Friday night dance this week bums up, no phoenix will arise from the ashes. A. P. !n GOT 15 MINUTES? Twice each year, we the students of Wilkes College are ~ked to donate one pint of blood to the Red Cross Blood Bank. As we rapully approach April 24, the date scheduled for second semester's blo?d donor day, it. would be well for us to review both the success of the plan 10 the past and its outlook for the. future. Since its inception, this program has continued to be more successful each year. Last semester, we reached our peak in donations, with appro11;imately 200 pints being given. Hopeful as these results may seem, they are still a far cry from our potential when we realize that we have 1300 students on campus. Interest in the program generated through clubs is perhaps the best way to insure the success of the plan. In the past, the Circle K Club has done an excellent job by encouraging almost 100% of its membership to donate blood. Their enthusiasm alone however, is not enough to insure complete succ;-ess. Their blueprint must be' followed by other students and' groups. ' .. Failure to participate in the program is actually without excuse, unless .of course the prospective donor is physically incapable of making the domi'tion. The process itself is quick and painless with the donor actually benefiting, for it has been medically proven that periodic donation of blood is good for the body. Another point to keep in mind is that, by making a donation to the blood bank, a person is entitled to free use of blood not only for himself and his family, but also any friends he wishes to aid. The benefits are great while. the sacrifice is small (15 minutes of one's time), so why not make Blood Donor Day of April 24 the most successful that has taken place to date. J.J .K. CONDOLENCES The entire Beacon staff extends its sincere condolences to "Pop" Clewell on the death of his wife. During the past four years we have worked closely with "Pop" and now feel that we share his loss. W e are certain that this sentiment expresses the general campus feeling.

Dear Editor: I would like to go on record as publicly condemning what I think is an insult to the student body of this college. This insult is in the form of an infantile booklet entitled Things I Should Know About Me. Since the booklet was sent to prospective students, it is likely that most of you haven 't seen a copy. The booklet proclaims, in no uncertain terms, the importance of wash ing and brushing teeth daily; instructs us to keep our rooms and persons neat; informs us . that cheating is wrong and that cotjrfesy and good manners right; it re~irtds us that our teachers love us anll:,1 " are , after all, human beings" ; it declares that our futures will require patience and good taste. The booklet goes on in this vein for ni ne asinine pages, every now and then fle cked with a bit of humor (as if th e idiocy of the book weren' t humor enough) as in th e aphorism "I am not couth when I 'cuth'". The whole level of the booklet is that of a second-grade primer. I wonder what caliber of student the authors of thi s booklet anticipate. C ertainly it is not one wit h a normal upbring- J oh n Si ckler , Rog er Squ ie r, Da ve Co ral, Todd Gibb s, Bob Koz inski, ing and normal intelligence. I cannot believe that this booklet would have appeared in any college other than Wilkes for only here is the dignity and in telligence of the student demeanored to so base a level. It's time we received the courtesy due us and that booklets like Things I Should Know About Me remained unprinted . Harris Tobias Dear Editor: I have just read the latest publication to come out of thi s institution of higher learning, and am considering asking for my $5 application fee and the past two years tuition back, on the grounds that I was falsely mislead into thinking this was a place of higher learning ; namely a college. The publication seems to be directed toward those children who, upon reaching the second grade and having the impulse to pick their nose, are sharply told that it is not the thing to do, and they should have learned that in the first grade. Having commi tted this and other similar laws to memory some years ago, and having finished at least 12 years of schooling , I no longer consider myself in the same classification with the people who 'IIE'IVPOli'l . f SHADES OF GREY by Jeff Gallet In listening to the vociferous opponen ts in the civil rights dispute , one might come to believe that the issues are absolute, and all the individual has to do is to choose one of the three major positions. (Which I will refer to as segregationist, conservative, and liberal, for want of a better name.) I rejec t this idea. I reject the idea that any extreme position should dictate my actions. What the advocates of these positions say would be fine if they were di scussing vague philosophical problems or mathematical questions, but there is little room for ivory tower reasoning in ' practical politics. 'P 6lilical · questions must be decided on practical considera tions as well as the ethical and philosophical aspects. The liberals tell us we must have complete integration now - send the troops down south, bus the chi ldren in N ew York , investigate every business, put a Negro on every block. What is going to happen if we do as they say? Are the troops goin g to make th e bigot love his new schoolmate? Is bussing going to guarantee a better education to all , as we are told? Does moving a block above your economic and educationa l means create acceptance or does it add to the very stereotype that you are trying to destroy? I believe that the Negro or any other citizen has the same right to equal housing, employment, education , and opportunity as any other citizen has. There is no question in my mind that the liberals and I have the same goals in this situation . The qu estion is the means of accomplishing these goals. I do not believe that simple legal and political equali ty will be suffic ient. There is a social equality that is as important. This social equality will never be achieved as lon g as the "liberals" go running through society like a blindfold ed bull in a china shop, flailing out a t every windmill and Mummers' parade. This is not to say that all militancy is wrong. Direct action in the North as well as in the South is necesssary. But possibly there should be a little pragmatism sprinkl ed in with the idealism. Actions should be evaluated as to what will be accomplished, rather than whether or not they are philosophically in th e right general direction. The conservative argument that the state should deal w ith almost all civil rights questions is insupportable. Their main arguments were written during a different tim e in our history . The nation is no longer made up of thirteen scattered states with poor communications. We are a large closelyknit nation. A nation committed to equality and justice. We cannot tolerate anyone repressing the rights of our citizens. The conservatives always quote the works of Jefferson, but these quotes are out of the context of the time. I have no doubt tha t Jefferson , if he were alive today , would be a strong advocate o f equal rights. The segregationist position that any citizen is less equal than any other because of race is so ridiculous I will not even dignify it with comment. I am not trying to discourage the extremists from expressing their opinions, but I am asking the public, the average man, to think and act with reason and not to get involved in th e strong emotional tides that are enveloping our country.

I would like to say this in answer to Things I Should Know About Me. perhaps there are a few things this institution should know about me. First of all ,I come from a home where we have always had showers, soap, toothpaste, and toothbrushes, and not merely as curiosity pieces. I have finished the second grade and am supposed to have the intelligence and ability to handle the work of an American College Sophomore. I feel that it is an insult to me and the gr'ossest hypocrisy on the part of f\lie college to expect me to have finisji~d 12 years of schooling , have befter than average intelligence, some degree of ability in learning, and yet bring up a matter of "not being couth to cuth ," or being nice to my campus friends, as if I had never heard of them before. Perhaps a title that would best sum up the stupidity and hypocrisy would be something like "You're Now Men and Woman, Kiddies." Theodore J. Gourley, Jr. SO YOU WANT SOME MONEY D ear Editor, The editorial in the Beacon of April JO, entitled, " Give the Clubs a Chance" indicates an apparent importance of money to campus clubs. But, does an active program which encompasses the features you have listed really require a great deal of money? I don 't think so. However, because you have pointed out a situation which you believe is affecting the operation of many clubs, a special meeting to discuss this " money problem w ill be, held on organizations will send reprfsentatives Wednesday, April 29. I hope that all and be prepared to discuss their particular financial sta tus. Sincerely, James Jones, Treasurer Student Government POSITION CLARIFIED D ear Editor: As a result of complaints from, and suggestions by, the studen t body, Student Government formulated a group of policies concerning dances. The policies were put into effect in September in an effort to satisfy these requests, and to improve the quality of the dances. We have repeatedly asked for , an in most cases received , the co-operation of the campus organizations holding dances. The policies are: I . A COAT CHECK with numbered tags, must be provided and attended all evening - at no cost to the students. However, tips may be accepted. 2. Dances are open to COLLEGE STUDENTS ONLY. Activity cards are to be checked at the door. Students from other colleges are welcome. A college student may, of course, bring a date or guest who is a high school student. 3. All men must wear SPORT JACKETS. Sweaters are NOT acceptable. 4. It is the responsibility of the organization sponsoring the dance to enforce these policies. Failure to do so will be taken into account in the awarding of future dates. Since these policies came about as a result of requests by the student body, we are once again asking for the support of all organizations in enforcing them. Thank You, Steve Paradise Chairman, Calendar Committee THANK YOU D ear Editor: I would like to take this time on behalf of Student Government to publicly thank captain-elect Tom Trosko of the football team for his capable assistance in coaching the Student Government football team .

Sincerely yours, Ron Czajkowski �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, April 17, 1964 BINDER: SIN, STARVATION, SALVATION by Andrea Templar Barrett F. Binder joined the College's English Department at the beginning of the present semester. On his first teaching assignment, Mr. Binder finds the College an ideal ground to test his methods. Having earned his Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Pennsylvania and his Masters degree at Columbia University, and having augmented his education by attending Columbia University's Law School, he is able to compare the teaching methods of the large university and the small college. Mr. Binder feels that the small college places a greater emphasis on teaching than on scholarship, a situation opposite to that at a large university. ··1 don"t minimize the importance of scholarship, but I believe that a good teacher must be a scholar, and to be a capable scholar he must also be a good teacher. Teaching requires that the student and teacher learn from each other. The teacher-student relationship on the small college level permits this interaction which is so difficult to attain at the large university. In choosing English as his major field , Binder turned from chemistry, a field equally attractive to him. He found literature to be a " peaceful involvement, " and its importance to people, immeasurable. He believes that good literature is not written for the academic elite, but for great groups of people. His goal is to promote this realization through his teaching. He earned his Masters degree in 17th Century English literature, writing his thesis on "Sin and Irony in George Herbert's The Temple". In this field he is particularly concerned with Shakespeare, Donne, and Milton. In 19th Century Russian literature, his other chief area , he is interested in Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Goncharov, Gogol , and Pushkin. Writes "Guitar Operas" Mr. Binder spends considerable time writing music and has written what he calls "guitar operas". These are stories without words, the stories being told by the tones and rhythms of his electric guitar. INTRUSION one of his Barrett F. Binder first compositions, is a tale of loneliness. Single notes reflect the quiet is created by a similar theme, played despondency of a man viewed from a loudly and harshly. As the figure condistance.

The picnic, IEC's first project, will be held in Kirby Park on Sunday, April 19, from 1-6 p.m. There will be sports and hootenanny groups for entertainment, and refreshments may be bought at the concession stand. From 6-9 p .m. the Starfires will play at a dance in the Wilkes Gym. FLY FOR ZOES IDC'S second annual Fly for Zoes Day, cancelled from last week, will be held Sunday, April 19, at the Forty Fort Airport. Tickets may be purchased at the airport for a mere fee of $2. by Ruth Partilla The nam es of the eleven candidates for Cinderella, chosen by student body vote in last week's assembly have just been released. Lorraine Dyers, Jane Edwards, Barbara Gallagher, Rose Hagel , Barbara Lore, Ginny Mason , Rachel Phillips. Joan Pitney, Gail Roberts, and Jo Signorelli will vie for the title. The Cinderella Ball, to be held this year on May 15, will take place at the Gus Genetti Hotel ( formerly the Hotel Redington) in Wilkes-Barre instead of at the gynasium, as in former years. Voting for Cinderella will take place Friday , April 24, along with class elections. Jerry Jean Baird, general chairman of the affair, has announced that the week-end will also include a concert by the Smothers Brothers, popular comedy folk singers. Those students who purchase tickets for the concert will be able to attend the Cinderella Ball for the price of only two dollars per couple. •••••••••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••••••••••• College (happiness) approaches to comfort him. The opening theme, originally somber, now portrays happiness, for it is now played in a major key. That is, the musical keys are attitudes, two ways of viewing a situation, with sadness and with happiness. The two characters disagree, their anger re• sounding in electric vibrations and emotions. The Intruder, failing to cheer his lonely friend, leaves, and the theme takes up as it had begun, single notes reflecting a man's loneliness. Mr. Binder makes multiple recordings of some of his music. He tapes the melody , and then records the harmony to it. H e and some fri ends once recorded an album called "Music for the Mentally Unbalanced." Its cuts included "Rock around the Clock" , played as a sonata, and the " Hungarian Dance", set to a rock'n roll beat. H e also mentioned having once created a successful ensembl e during his teens , a jazz group called The Salvation Army Band. D etails on this , however , were not in abundance. Mr. Binder nearly starved himself as a undergraduate.

Since the weigh t limit was 155 pounds, he dieted until he qualified. By that time he was nearly too weak to row. Finally he adjusted and managed to make the team. The value of this feat may be questionable , because his crew lost all but one race - the one the other team lost by default. Speaks of Kennedy Mr. Binder spoke of his admiration for the late President Kennedy. " Wh en I was an undergraduate, I took little interest in politics. I'm ashamed to say that I never even took a political science or history course in college. But when Kennedy came to office my attitude changed. H e generated in me an awareness of and an enthusiasm for what was going on in America and in the world. His actions mad e me see the importance of equal rights, compassion, energy, open mindedness, and dignity. I th ink this was his greatest contribution as President," Mr. Binder indicated that although he greatly enjoys teaching at the College, he must comple te his graduate study. Therefore, he will teach and study at Tufts University next year.

U. Here Tomorrow by Don DeFranco The Wilkes College tennis teams opened the current season at home last Saturday by dropping a 6-3 decision to Lycoming. Last year the Warriors defeated the Colonels by an identical score. The Colonels compiled an enviable record of 6 wins and 3 losses last season, and they are confident of an equally successful season this year. Coach Thomas MacFarland's squad is composed of six returning lettermen led by Bill Douglas, who was defeated in singles matches last year. Douglas Still Unbeaten In the Lycoming match, Douglas extended his winning streak by downing Taylor 6-2, 6-2. Fred Smithson garnered the only other win in singles play defeating Marty Sher 8-6, 6-1, while the number three team of Smithson and Owen Frances had the only doubles win. Tomorrow the Colonels meet the Susquehanna " racquetteers" on the home court at the Wilkes Athletic Field. Fred A. Grosse, now in his fourth season as tennis coach, guided the Crusaders to a 10-2 log last year, winning the final eight matches on th e schedule. The team this year is somewhat hampered by th e loss of Wall Woernle, Clark Mosier, Bob Summer, and Dave Sales via the graduation route. Wednesday, April 22 the Colonels will travel to Scranton University for a match at Weston Field. •••••••••••••••••••••••• Friday, April 17, 1964 YEAGEB RECEIVES TOP ATHLETIC AWABD DUBING ANNUAL ALL SPOBTS BANQUET ROSEANNE HALLET & embodies team spirit and is given in honor of a former Wilkes player who lost his li fe in an automobile accident shortly after the 1948 season.

Hoover To Explain Student Aid Program by Linda Edwards A Financial Aid Sem inar will be held for those students see king to ren ew th eir sc holars hips and to apply for studen t loans. Scholarship renewal form s and applications for National D efense Student Loans will be available at thi s Seminar which w ill take place at two different times - Tuesday, April 14 at 11 a.m. and Wednesday , April 15 at 7:30 p.m. in Stark 116. Arrang ed by Arthur J. Hoover, director of stud ent activities, this Seminar has been crea ted to help those stud ents participating in the financial programs to better und erstand them. At th e mee tings Hoover w ill acquaint th e stud ents with other possible sources of financial aid , and he will review th e overa ll financi a l aid progra m, its requirements, and th e policies wh ich govern it. H e will also answer any questions relative to the program. The purpose of th e double time is to insure an opportunity for all students to attend th e Seminar. Since th ere are approximately 500 men and women in volved , the meetings had to be split to accommodate them. Hoover said that it was preferabl e that commuting students attend the Tuesday mee ting and th a t the dormitory students mee t W ednesday. This eliminates the transportation problem that any commuters might have, although th ey ca n attend either se,ssi_on. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Letters to the Editor Editorial ... GIVE THE CLUBS A CHANCE The hard core of our extracurricular activities is the clubs. Unlike the legislative bodies, the classes, the athletic teams, and the service organizations, they are interested in the professional and intellectual development of the individual. And after all, what is the main purpose of college? The College has recognized their importance by scheduling an hour each week when there are no classes so that the clubs may function effectively. To fulfill their purposes the clubs must have money. Their activities necessitate films , speakers, books, trips, and special equipment. A lack of funds would cause them to limit their activities, and therefore the pragmatic education of the school's club members. This year many of the clubs have reached a cns1s. To effectively carry on their activities , they need money. Since as a whole they receive little financial assistance from either the College or the Student Government, they must raise their own funds . Each year, this becomes more difficult. In past years, the clubs were able to make a reasonable profit from almost any dance they ran, and fund raising was no problem. Most clubs were able to subsist on earnings from the dances and their dues . But in order to improve the dances as social functions , the Student Government has passed a set of rules that has decreased the fund raising potential. The clubs have resorted to bake sales, car washes and the like. As the number of the activities increases, their effectiveness decreases. What once were lucrative projects have become only marginal money makers. We must find a solution before this situation degenerates further. One suggested solution is for Student Government ·to subsidize the clubs. But we realize that this would be impossible for various reasons. Another better suggestion, is to give the clubs a chance at the more profitable fund raising activities. The concessions at athletic events, formal dances , special events, etc., could be made into a rotating system whereby each club would have an opportunity to have a concession. When a project like the Intercollegiate Hootenanny comes along, let the clubs in on it. True, a system of this type would lead to some extra paper work, but certainly the result would be worth it.

Concerned Reader Views NSA Editori al The snide editorial from the Colleg ian , " NSA Ab andoned," regrettably reprinted by the Beacon, was so biased in presenting its facts that I felt another view must be aired: 1. NSA defended the right of Japenese studen ts to protest th e v isit of form er Presid ent Eisenhower. Unlike our sedate, middle-of-the-road citizens, those of other cou ntries are more adama nt in their protes ts. They believe in their v iews more s trongly than our "protesters," thus American newspapers always call these protests "ricits." 2. a. NSA pra ised Castro "s ed ucational reforms justly. The Cuban leader , however much we hate and disagree with him , has made good reforms. No government is all bad, as we feel his is, or all good, as we feel ours is. b. NSA condemned Batista 's suppression of academic fre edom only because Batista did suppress academic freedom . No politics were involved, just a concern for the Cuban students under his reign. 5. a. NSA criticizes the United States. D on' t we allow that anymore? At va rious times the following peopl e have been very critical of the U .S .: Washin gton, Lin coln, Jefferson, Wilson , R oosevelt, E isenhower, Kennedy, and Goldwater. Are they all Communist-sympath izers? b. NSA criticizes Spain a nd Po rtugal. True, they are our allies an d are a nti -Communist, but Spain a nd Portugal are also dictatorships . The U nited States is supposed to be for democracy , but apparently only when it suits its purposes. Otherw ise they'll suppo rt any undemocratic, cruel, repressive dictatorship , as long as it's "a nti-Communist." 6. The McCarran-Walter Act, which NSA opposes, su pposedly regulates C omm unist activity in our country . In fact, though , it not only hinders Communists but an indeterminable number of other Americans. It is unconstitutional and inflicts a strong censorship on all Am ericans. The way of prese rving democracy is not to become a dictatorship, always in fear for its life. 7. NSA p rotests the firing of alleged C o mmuni st teachers. Who does the alleging? The right-wing which includes isolationists, segregationists, and religious fanatics . T eachers have been fired for teaching evolution, in teg ration , peace, and broth erhood . These teachers ha ve been called " communists." 3. NSA recommends that the House Un-American Activiti es Committee be abolished. President Truman ca ll ed th e Congressional Co=ittee: " the most un American thing in Am erica today. " Eleanor Roosevelt fought aga inst th e H .U.A.C. because it violates the U .S . Constitution and Bill of Rights. Among th e members of th e Committee are Southern segrega tion8. NSA denounces our costly ists, Ku Klu x Kl an members, a nd John struggl e for nuclear domination, but Birchites. also the Ru ssian, British, and French 4. NSA is opposed to student loy- attempts to become supreme . NSA is alty oaths because they are not effec- for a world where stud en ts can grow ti ve, not democra ti c. and degrade the up . Th ey a re against nuclear destruchuman spirit and dignity. tion . THE BALLOT BOX Lest We Forget by Vince McHale Refl ecting upon the recent death o f Genera l MacArthur and our confused and muddled si tuation in South Vietnam, I cannot help but bring to my mind the w hole problem of our past and present involvement in Korea. Will Vietnam meet the same fate, hopelessly div ided? It has been a lmos t eleven years since th e signing of an armistice agreement at Panmunjom , July 26, l 953, and divid ed Korea technically is still at war. A peace trea ty has neve r bee n signed, nor is there any real hope tha t one will be signed in the forseeable future. The 2½-mile wide demilitarized zone along th e 38th parallel crackles w ith tension a nd ve ry often an occasional burst of gunfire aimed at the U .N. patrols. Th e weekly meeting of the Joint Military Armistice Commission is al most wholly taken up with the problem of charges and countercharges of violations of th e armistice agreement. Since 1953, there has been a total o f 8,3 19 alleged violations recorded for both sides. Considering each s ide separately, the United Nations Command in South Korea is charged by the Communists in the North w ith 6,044 v iolations , while th e U.N. Command has registered 2,275 by the forces of the N o rth. Current Stalemate Unsa tisfactory as the current stalemate may appear, after interviewing a recent U.S. soldi er returnee, this w riter found that the troops in Sou th Korea consider it better than fighting . In retrospect, it seems likely that the North Korean Communist attack on South Korea was based upon a miscalculation , for it occurred in an area where the W est's "vital interests" had not been clearly defined. Secretary of State Acheson, in a speech to the National Press Club in Janu a ry, 1950, exclud ed specifically South Ko rea from th e perimeter which in case of attack the U .S . would defend unila terally. The withdrawal of U.S . troops from South Korea must have gone far to convince the Com munists that th ey could take our policy at face value. Looking over the past records during the 37 month s of active fi ghting, the price to restore th e statu s quo amounted to 157,530 A merican casualties, including 33,629 battle deaths a nd 20,617 deaths from other causes. Appro ximately 55,000 American servicemen are station ed in South Korea today , a nd the Sou th Korean Arm y total s another 600,000 men. From all indi ca tions, N orth Korea arra ys abou t half that many along the dividin g line, but th ese forces are buttressed by th e proximity of Communist Chi na. All indications, howeve r, reveal no signs that the North Koreans are preparing to la un ch a new offensive. "Police Action" As a n aftennath of the " police action, " South Korea remains largely dependent upon United States aid for its survival. An estima ted $4 billion in U .S . military and economic aid has been poured into the country over the last decade, but unemployment and poverty a re endemic. Am erica has encountered many difficu lti es in trying to transform South Korea into a show place of democracyincluding a period of military dictators hip. Governmental p rob I e m s still do not appear to be resolved. When coupled to th e si tuation in Sou th Vietnam, perhap s this is an example of the limits to success th e U .S . can expect for its milita ry efforts in A sia. T . R . Fehrenbach , in writing This Kind of War ( 1963 ) ,seems to spell ou t the reality of the Korean truce: "In exchange for peace along th e parallel. the United States agreed to accept the R epubli c of Korea as its ward , perha ps forever . .. In exchange, Sy ngman Rh ee agreed not to obs truct th e annistice . . . Th ere was no more war but there was no peace. There was no victory. It was call ed ceasefire ." ' 9. NSA condemns our involvement in th e plot to overthrow C as tro. If our ego and prid e and investments were not at stake, we would recognize the C astro government, admit that the revolution in Cuba succeeded, and realize that Cuba holds no terrors for us. What about Hungary? Tibet? Poland? Where has all our " huma nita rianism" gone when the only country we acti vely want to liberate is Cuba? 10. NSA condemned the resumption of nuclear testing. We now have a test ban treaty. Were Kennedy and Congress a ll dupes of C ommunl!m, or were th ey trying to secure peace for us all? The Virginia Military Institute condemned NSA for being too "radical." But we must remember, wha t is "radical" to a Southern military school is not necessa rily ra dical to millions of intelligent, non-Southern, non-military minds. The fact that a s tudent newspa per cou ld believe in such insane reasoning as quoted in the editorial is shocking. Somew here, in the back of my mind , I thought that students were supposed to be informed human beings who believed in peace, truth, and love. That is w hat the editors of the Beacon a ppa rently do not beli eve in. Concerned Reader Cue and Curta in Tryouts D ear Ed itor: Is it now the policy of Cue and Curtain to cast a play without hold ing public tryouts? I have believed, (perhaps I am wrong), tha t the Cue and Curtain is a theatre group designed to give studen ts an opportunity to display their hidden talents. It appears, through several phone calls to select indiv idu a ls and the holding of a secret meeting, that a cast was formed w hich includes o nl y those privileged few w ho were contacted . This is ce rtainly not conducive to fostering new tal en t, and if th ese tactics continue the future of Cue and Curtain certainly w ill not brighten. DEJE CTED CUE AND CURTAIN MEMBE RS What A,n't We Got? In reply to a recent speaker at assembly I would like to note that . We got railroads, we got mines. W e got w inter snows and crim es, W e got P enna. scenery, a nd some mountains yo u can climb , We got poolrooms, un employme nt , a nd uneducated slobs, What ai n't we got W e ain't got jobs.

The all-day meetings began on April 2 in Stark 109 and will continue every Thursday until April 30. The committee hopes to enlist the aid of the community to establish facilities and information centers, which would resolve this problem. The chairman is the Reverend Burke Rivers, pastor of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church. Dr. Francis Michelini is the seminar chairman. The maximum number of registrants expected was 50; however, 63 people have signed up .

In makinq thP a nn ouncement Reese also said that F erris w ill assume his new duties with the sta rt of th e fall semester. Now assuming the role o f has eball coac h at Kingston Hi gh School , Ferris will fini sh out hi s s tint th Pre before makin g th e move to Wi lkes. Ferris' move to the Colonel fac ult y is by no means a tota ll y new a ffili ation with Wilkes. H e first came into contac t w ith the school as a stu dent and grad uated in 1956. Upon graduation F erris turned to Bucknell Uni versity w here he received his Master 's degree in adm in istration in 196 1. While a t Wilkes, Ferris compiled a record of awards which would be the envy of any at hlete. On th e basketball cou rt he proved himsel f by having been chosen the first C olonel cager to receive th e Outstanding Basketball Playe r Award. In his junior year, Ferris was reci pi ent of the Howie D avis Trophy a nd at the end o f his senior yea r he was chosen as the BEACON Athlete o f the Y ear. H e was a lso presented with numerous other honors and was a frequent " Athlete o f the Week" recipi ent. Ferri s a lso contributed his efforts to the s:>ecer team a nd the baseball team whi le a t Wilke s. Ferris assum ed th e post as head basketball coach here a t Wilkes during thi s past season. H e has long guid ed the socce r team in th eir efforts and has produced impressive records w hile at th e helm o f the hooters sq uad . Th ese pos ts were fill ed on a part-time basis w hil e still teachin g at Kin gston. Jim Ferris In addition to retaining hi s jobs in soccer a nd bas ketba ll , Ferris will also becom r. assistant baseball coach nex t yea r under head baseball mentor Rollie Schmidt, a noth er former Kingston teacher-coach. Ferris, a math teacher a t Kingston , is a lso one of the top sandlo t baseball players in W yoming Vall ey . H e is a regular member o f the Swoyerville club w hich last year won the Wyoming Leag ue championship. As head coach o f th e cagers thi s year, Ferris was faced wi th a , needless to say, challenging year. Taking this drawback into conside ration, F erris ex hibited a hi ghly commend a ble d isplay of sk illful leadership . In an attem pt to reb uild th e squad Ferris is faced w ith a long hard job, but the BEACON is looking hopefully to a n improvement in the cage record . � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The purpose was to address "Friendly Sons of St. Patrick" organizations. Few, if any, expected throngs of people to greet him. However, at every arrival and departure, Mr. Kennedy was greeted by large crowds of people. The crowds, eager to see and to touch Robert Kennedy, literally blocked his path to his destination at every stop. Typical of th e situations occurring at every stop was the scene at the airport at the time of the Attorney General's departure. This reporter was assured by Mr. Kennedy 's public rela tions man, M r. Goodman, o f an exclusive interview before Mr. Kennedy departed. Upon th e arri val of Mr. Kennedy at the airport, however , hundreds o f people appeared ou t of nowhere. Pouring onto the field , they surrounded Mr. Kennedy .

Yeager clinched the silver medal by dethroning last year's champion, Dan Goughty, of Western State College, Colora do . Yea ger' s victory did not come easily as Goughty forced the Colonel mat s tar to overcome a 4-0 deficit. At th e end of the match the score was tied 8-8. Hoireve r , Yeager gained the nod by a dding one point for time advantage. In a ddition to guaranteeing Yeager at least a silver medal, the vic tory assured Yeager of a place in the fin a l competition in the NCAA national tournament to be held at Cornell Uni versity on March 27-28. It a lso qualified him to take part in the Olympic team tryouts to be held later thi s year in N ew York. Howard Ganstead of M a nkato I Minnesota} State College spoiled Yeager's hopes of returning home with the NCAA coll ege di vision championship when he gained a 9-6 decision over th e former Meyers great in the finals. Yeager 's impressive showing marked the first time a city coll ege wres tler has gone that far in th e NCAA tourney . Marv Antinnes, a fo rmer mat star for the C olonels and now coach at Pl y mouth H igh School. participated in th e finals of th e NAIA several years ago. Y eager' s performance was outstanding in view o f the fact that this was his first contest in more than a mon th . He was idled by a cracked rib injury susta ined in the Lycoming meet and was forced to sit ou t the remainder of the season and the MAC tourney. Yeage r has long exhibited his skillful performance both at Wilkes and in the past. At Meyers High School he won num erous honors for his fin e wrestling a nd was named "" Prep School Champion of the East" ' while attending Wyoming Sem inary. At Wilkes, Yeager has placed second in the Wilkes Open Tournament and in one season he grappled his way to MAC outstanding wrestler in the 123pound class. Recently Yeager was honored by having been chosen M ost Va luable Player by the BEACON an d has also been named "Athlete of the Week" in the past.

Dress is casual ECONOMICS MAJOR AWARDED FELLOWSHIP by Leona Sokash A Woodrow Wilson fellowship has been granted to Richard H. Hohn, an economics major. He is among 1,507 college seniors from 357 colleges and universities in the United States and Canada who have received this year's award. Hohn plans to do graduate work in the field of economics at either the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell, or Emory. As a Woodrow Wi lson Fellow, Hohn is awa rded full tuition and fees for his first year at the graduate sc hool of his choice and a stipend of $1,800 and dependency a llowance . Commenting on the honor received by Hohn , D ea n Ralston said: "Wood row Wilson fellowships, wh ich are financ ed by the Ford Foundation, carry grea t prestige to the w inners and to th eir coll eges. It is a hi gh honor to th e student chosen and to Wilkes, for there are on ly over a thousand winners chosen, and the competition is very stiff." An honorable mention has been awarded to English major Barbara Gallagher. She is one of 1,216 students receiving this honor. Notice of it will be sent to the deans of grauuate schools in the United States and Canada in order that she may be considered for awards from th ese univers ities o r from other sources. Because th e numb er of Foundation grants are limited, th ese honorabl e mentions are given to deserving candidates. In orde r to become ,recipients of the fellowships, stud ents must be nominated by the facul ty members of th ei r respec ti ve coll eg~s. The list of eli gible students is narrowed considerably by th e careful screening of regional and national committees. It is the basic principle of the foundation to a id outstanding stud ents with fund s for graduate work in the hope that they may become teachers at th e college level. Hohn is the College's second fellow, ship winner. A ccording to one source, most small colleges see only one Fellow during its lifetime. Previously, Gwen Evans, an honor graduate in English, obtained a Fulbright to study in France. She later received a Woodrow Wilson fellowship and did graduate work at the University of Chicago.

Letters lo lhe Editor Quick Results In discussing their recent memo to th e faculty requesting that classes be dismissed on time, a student government representative comm en ted in la s t week's Beacon that the " real effect of this memo would be observed b y every student in his classes." This prophecy seems to have b een quickly fulfilled . We have already seen results . Many instructors have mentioned the memo to their classes - some jokingly , others seriou sly, but a lways with the same outcome - classes h ave been di smissed on time . Bells have been n ewly installed in Pickering , Conyng ham, and the C afe teria to signal the end of class periods. If this is a coincidence, it is certainly a fortunate one. Both the faculty, w hose students now usually arrive on time, and the s/1;1d ents, w ho avoid di sconcertingly rushing into class late, are happier. According to Student Government , most fac ulty members have accep ted the memo in the spirit it was intended a lthough a few felt that SG should have gone through the Administration rather than to the faculty directly. We feel that Student Government performed its function as the representative of the stud en t body in acq uain ting the professors wi th a stude nt problem tha t only they cou ld solve. One of the most va lua bl e features of a small college a tmosphere such as ours is the close relationship and rapport between studen ts and faculty. To demand that students go throu g h a middle-man to contact the faculty is to deny this rapport . We commend stude nt government for their direct and efficient action and hope the effects of this memo wi ll not fade with its immediacy. B.A.L. freedom Here, Now It is a common misconception that there is very little academic freedom on the Wilkes campus. Possibly the people w ho believe this fallacy h ave never tried to exercise this freedom . We have. T wo years ago there was an independent s tudent newspaper c;a ll ed the STUDENT VOICE . This p aper certainly was not p opular with the powers that b e. But, when the paper ran into a problem in finding a place to print, the ad mi nistration stepped in and a llowe d the paper to use th e Multilith machine in Chas2 H all. One student w ho exercised hi s academic fre edom is Steve Flood . Flood objected to the foundation of a CORE chapter on campus. He was warned that his s tand would bring th z wrath of the administration d own upon him . He received , instead, encouragement to continue to express his views. Many stu d ents believe that the administration controls and checks w hat is printed in the BEACON . Th is is untru e. The members of the administration read the paper the same time everyone else does - Friday afternoon. We are sure that thev would have it no other way. Editors of certain other college papers are surprised at the amount of freedom we have . M any schools have w hat are known as pre-readers. Pre- readers are faculty members w ho read and pass on the material that goes into the paper. Wilkes has no comm ittee to pass on w hat we print. Aca demic freedom exists . It is something we are sure of. And we feel secure in that sureness, a sureness based on long tradition . J.H.G. Oh Johnny! Oh Johnny! How You Can ... ? T oo mu ch thought has b een spent on the id ea o f w hat Joh nny wants. We h ave given him everything to " help him find himself." Yet one wonders whe th er or not Johnny is w illing to sea rch . From a ll available sources , on e is led to the conclusion that he is not. We h ave provided him w ith a Forum . Thi s gives him an opportunity to present a speech on any topic he so desires and ,to listen to other speeches given b y s tudents w ith , in most instances, the same am_ount of potential as Johnny h as. "'( et, recent meetings of the Forum have been poorly populated. . . O ver th e past two years, speec hes have been given on the haiku , jazz , airp lanes, German litera ture , existentialism, and home rule. What more does Johnny want? We have provided him wi th a Beacon, a colh:ge newspaper directed to the wants, needs, and capricious desires of Johnny. Yet , does Jo hnny comply? Does he offer his opinions, ideas, or thoughts? Does h e answer the pleas for his ideas , opinions and thoughts? We h ave likew ise provided him with a Manuscript, a literary magazine designed to give him the opportunity to have his literary efforts put in print. And now , the time has come for Manuscript to solicit material. And it w ill probably be as difficult for th em this year as it has been in the past. There seems to be more than a grain of w heat in Mill' s theory that if a ll of man's wants we re completely realized , he still would not be h a ppy. Yet, could it be at all possible that today's man doesn't want? I have surroun d ed myself with w o ndro us things. And h ave spent myself foolishly. I have bargained wi th humans over the price of Thing. And have lost my Self. A .P .

Four Exhibiting Seniors THE BALLOT BOX THE REPUBLICAN DILEMMA by Andrew Thorburn As the 1964 Presidential elec tion approaches, the situation in the Republican camp remains cloudy and crowded . In a few rron ths Republicans will have to settl e down to the business of deciding w ho will carry their banner in the coming election. They could deci de to establish a clear line in American politics and campaign on differences in basic party philosophy. If they decide upon this course of action, surely they will nominate Senator Barry Goldwater. The lib erals refer to him as " the proph et arisen in th e West," and a campaign between Goldwater a nd Presid ent Jo hnson will present the voters with a cle\lr r;4oic;~ l:i e tw ee n two conflicting and irreconc ilable interpretations o f the role of the Presid ent and extension of federal p ower. The Republican party could do th is , but it w ill not. It will , at convention time, turn not to the most Republican candidate, nor to the candidate who is most clearly within the Republican tradition , but to the politician most likely in their eyes to defea t President Johnson in th e elec tion . Rockefeller Resurgence Govern or N elson Rockefeller, the Republican front-runn er before his remarriage, seems destined to be, as he was in 1960, merely a lib eralizing influ ence on th e party and its platform. Of a ll th e Republican aspirants, hi s views are closes t to th e President, esp ecia ll y on fis cal matters. For this reason he fail s to app eal to th e grassroots Republicans of th e middle and far W es t. It is in these key areas of Republican support tha t hi s di vorce and remarriage have don e him th e most damage, and it is doubtful that he could swing th e north eas t away from Johnson. As Rockefeller lost much of his sup port after his divorce, Goldwater's candidacy gained momentum. Y et, even if nominated, there seems to be no way in w hich he could win the election. H is party w ill probably realize this fact by convention time. Goldwater's Problem Suppose, for exampl e, that Gold water swee ps, as Eisenhower anfi WHAT * Nixon did not, th e entire once-solid South, wins Florida and Maryla nd , and takes all the southwest and mountain states. In addition , if he carries Iowa , Ka nsas, N ebraska , Ma ine , N ew Hampshire, and V ermont , he will still need 58 more electoral votes to reach th e 270 votes required to win. There is, of course, no reason to expect Goldwater to sweep th e South , since curren t polls show Johnson w ith a commanding lead . At convention time, armed wi th such statistics, it seems likely that the northern Republicans will block Goldwater's nomination because it would insure another Republica n defea t. 4 t oqe til))e Q~qrge Rpi;npey W~§ a prominent dark horse. Now , however, he has lost much o f his home support, and Republica n leaders in Michigan favor Goldwater's nomination. H e has lost the support of Michigan 's N egro population and fail ed in his effort s to solve the state's financial problems. Losing support at home and unabl e to w ield much power at the convention , Romney 's chances seem slim in deed . The Others Other names are being tossed around. Harold Stassen, H enry Cabot Lod ge , M argare t Chase Smith, and P en nsy lvan ia 's own Governor W ill iam Scran ton all have some Republican suppor t. But, behind closed doors and intent on winning th e election, th e Republicans w ill probabl y turn to their one truly national fi gure, Rich a rd Nixon. A tire less campaigner in 1960, Ni xon has proven his votegetting abi li ty . A lthough he remains a n unannounc ed candidate, he has rece ntly begun to rustl e in the wings , deploring Goldwater's dogmatic poli tical stance a nd publicly refl ecting on the effect of Rockefelle r's remarriage on his chances. Faced w ith an array of regional ca ndidates, the P..epublican party w ill be reluctant to bypass Ni xon , and w ith the prima ri es unlikely to settle much, Ni xon will have the most powerful a rgument of all on his sid e - over 33 mill ion votes in 1960, a nd a margin of defeat of less than one per cent.

Th e numerous kin dness of both faculty members and students ha ve been greatly consoling and have reminded Mrs. Gutin and me once again of the warm th and fr iendshi p that we have found to be a hallm ark of Wilkes College. Sincerely Stanley S . G utin D ept. o f E nglish Here We Go Again D ear Ed itor: If Mr. Czajkowski found Mr . Thorburn 's colu mn " amusing", I find Mr. Cza jkowski's own rebuttal to be an un am using admission of his reac tiona ry desire to turn back the signifi ca nt progress a lrea dy made by both countries, the United States a nd the Soviet U nion, towa rds a mutua l, open declaration of peace and a promise of grea ter und erstanding. You flatly state , Mr. Cza jkowski , th a t " the Russians will never accept peace". There is no evid ence that you can poin t to that will uphold your sta tement. On the ot her hand, there has been , in recent years , more evidence to th e contrary. Even past events have proven your th esis fa lse. During the Second W o rld War, th e Russia ns lost more men in battle than any o ther natio n; war had completely broken the Ru ssian "warmongering" sp irit ( if suc h a spirit did indeed exist ). N o, Mr. C zajkowski, I do not believe that th e Ru ssian peopl e or th eir leaders would wi ll ing ly steer a course o f war, eve n for the sake of furth ering the acceptan ce o f ·their ideology. A notable example o f Russia 's relucta nce to face the horrible consequence of war is Mr. Khrushchev's backing down in N ovember 1962, w hen th e Cuba n Crisis threatened to become a cause fo r war. It was, of course, President Ke nnedy's position on the question that ma de Mr. Khrushchev realize that to challeng e the U nited States was se riou s business. And can you be so narrow-minded as to compl ete,ly discount th e partia l Nucl ear Weapons T est Ban Treaty , which renounc es tes ting in the three environm en ts? Of course , it is not a perfect assurance o f p eace. N eve rtheles3, it is th e bigg es t s tep ever taken towards universal peace endorsed by both nations. Furthermore, at the p resent time, cultura l and educationa l exchang e programs a nd the proposed plan for an American- Russian venture to the moon contin ue to contribute to increased cooperation and ulti ma tely to a more " Peacefu l Co-existence". When you say, "Th e Ru ssia ns w ill never accept peace", you mean th a t the Russia ns w ill never accept peace under our conditions, just as we w ill never accept the Russian bra nd of p eace. H ere, you a re p erhaps right. In this case, both sides must make an e ffort to compromise. T o my mind, the United N ations represents the only means available o f attaining a just compromise and the only hope we have for lasting peace. (Continued on Page J ) �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, March 20, 1964 ;A~~.R~A~iN SEES KAZAN'S LATEST AS PUBLIC DISPLAY OF PATRIOTISM by Andrew Thorburn During the McCarthy witch hunts in the early fifties. both Elia Kazan and Arthur Miller were called to testify before the House Unamerican Activities Committee in connection with their political activity in the thirties. Miller refused on principle to give the Committee other names to investigate. Kazan, however, not only gave the committee the fuel it needed, but also took a full page add in the New York Times to explain that his action was dictated by feelings of high patriotism. Now, in his last movie, America America, Mr. Kazan has once again made a public display of his patriotism. America America is the story of Kazan's great uncle and his dream to reach America . The film is insensitively made , overnarrated , and trite. The hero is born a Greek but lives under Here We Go Again (Continued from Page 2) Turkish oppression. (In Anatolia the Greeks are suppressed, but not as much as the Armenians.) Stravo's character is never clearly delineated , and few of his actions are ex plainable within the film. H e has, for exampl e, enough idealism not to stop associating with his Armenian fri end despite the possible repercussions, but later has little visible reaction to his father' s fawning friend sh ip with the local Armenian bureacrat. Al though he gets momentarily angry, the incident has no apparent effect on his relationship with his father. M y words, I a m confident, are not sctfficicnt to convince you. Therefore, I wou ld like to quote the words of a Russian student, majoring in English a t Moscow University, who w rote the followi ng : ·· I heard President Johnson 's speech to Congress and hope that he will follow President Kennedy and in his turn will do much for peace . . .

" In Ier -Organizational Cooperation Displayed 'Silver Competition' Deadline Nears There is only one week left in Reed 6 Barton's "Silver Opinion" Scholarship Competition. The competition, in which th e College ha s been selected to participate, is open to all und ergraduate women on this campus and o ffers ove r $7,000 in scholarships and awards. Th e Firs t Grand Award is a $500 cash scholarship; Second Grand A wa rd a $300 scholarship; third a $250 scholarship; fourth, fifth, and six th awards $200 sc holarships each; and seventh, eighth , ninth , and tenth awards $100 scholarships each. In addition , there will be one hundred other awards consisting of sterling sil ver , fine china, and crystal with a retail value of approx imately $50 each. In th e "Silver Opinion Competition " twelve designs of sterling and eight designs of both china and crystal are illustrated. The entrant simply lists the three bes t combinations of sterling, china, and crystal from those shown. Scholarships and awards will be made to those entries matching o r coming closest to the unanimous selections of tabl e-setting editors from three of the nation 's leading magazines. Mary Russin a nd MiMi Wilson are the Student Representatives conducting the competition for Reed & Barton . Those interested shou ld contact Mary or MiMi for entry blanks and for complete details concerning th e competition rul es. Both also have samples of the twelve Reed & Barton ste rling patterns featured in the competition so that entrants can see how these s terling pa tterns actually look. Through the opinions on silver design expressed by college women competing for the scholarships, Reed & Barton will compile a valuable library of ex pressions of young American taste. Page 3 Ewing's Visit To Bussia Enlightening by Lois Petroski At the Forum 's last session, Linda Ewing, senior French major, related personal discoveri es from what she considers the " highlight of her year abroad " - a journey into the Sov iet Union. At the opportunity ma de available by th e French University Touring Office, w hich has its office in Paris where Linda was pursuing stud ies, the young woman traveled through M oscow, Leningrad , and Warsaw, invariably gaining knowledge and pl easure. Linda arrived at the lntourist Hotel, the lodgings most frequ ented by foreign touris ts in Moscow, after a SOhour train ride w hi gh she considered somew hat tiresome. ,'With constant quests, both day and night, for the pa pers and passports of eight passengers traveling in one second-class car," mu ses Linda. "one has difficulty acquiring rest." She was ha ppy to a rriv e at the hotel and to begin her tour. Although the scheduled trip which began at the Leni n Museum was proving educational, Linda and a group of studen ts decided to venture through th e city a lone in order to gain "a most intimate view of th e mos t interesting sight in Moscow the M oscovite himself." This individual, and more speci ficall y the "Joe C oll ege" in Moscow Uni versity, consti•uted the greatest part of Linda's talk at the Forum mee tin g. Linda gained insight into the attitudes and beliefs of the Russian scholar. During her stay, Premier Khrushchev denounced abstract art. In the debate which followed his ban, one student stated that "it is fine that he ( referring to Khrushchev) should take an interest in art, but he himself is not an artist nor a qualified art critic." Another noted that "good art is need ed , not the patriotic sensationalism that has so long been forced upon us." Also last Spring, S. A . Vorinin, ed itor of the literary journal Neva , tried to expound the new party line against poetry readings of ·the youth . Students met Vorinin with loud derision. Linda Ewing No Physical 'Type' Our traveler pointed out tha t no " ty pical " Russian physical type wa s present there, chiefly because M oscow is the melting pot of the Sovie t Union. Because of th e num erous free scholarships awarded by the Russian government , many foreigners constitute the s tudent body. CAMPUS NEWS WILKES HOSTS MUSIC FESTIVAL Music D e.pt.

The event will feature 20 colleges a nd universities, 150 voices, and a full o rchestra. SEEN THROUGH A CLOUD OF SMOKE by John B. Hall Hoot is Nanny, what is She? First o f all, I'd like to congratulate th e Pike Town Three on their recent appearance on W ARM 's Hoo tenanny. A few weeks ago, th e Three and the N ewcomers from the University of Scranton were featured by th e station on its evening show. Th e group did a few numbers for w hich th ey are known on campus and also several which I haven 't heard them do before . A s · I listened to th em, I began thinking about the fi eld o f folk sing ing in general. A s one well-known sociology professor would probably say, folk songs are the songs o f folk. U sually they deal with some protest, with some religion , or with some form of transportation . Since people have always liked to sing, folk songs have been around for a long tim e, in many cases handed down from generation to gen eration. According to the Old School, true folk songs should have no definit e a uthor , but should simply have " happened." To the majority of folk singers, however , this is not necessary. Many write thei r own songs. P ete Seegar and Bob Dylan have written many " folk songs" that have been incorpora ted into th e folk singers' song bags. Some of ou r own campus tal ent has turned out some original material that is worthy of notice. One term that is associated with folk music is "hootenanny ." This is neith er a cross between an owl and a goat, nor is it a goat from Scotland. The term refers to what we might call a "jam session" among folk singers. I understand that suc h a congrega tion takes place down at th e Snack Ba r (affectionately called Gerard's Villa) eve ry Friday afternoon. If you haven't dropped in on it yet, you might try it. Wilkes is by no means devoid of talent in the fi eld of folk music. Besides the Pike Town Three, the campus has the Warner Trio, Barry Singer, Jody Morrison, Nels ' Seagren, and many more. However , despite such observation , Linda is certain that to describe the average Soviet s tudent as "impatient to break the bonds of Sovie t tyranny would be a gross error." Through her many associations with him , she found a n individual more sa ti sfi ed than rebellious. H e feels that his leaders' policies a re essential to the betterment of his nation, that socialism is basically good , that the real criterion of a good society is the common ownership of property. Letter From Russia This yea r Linda received a letter from a Soviet scholar, named Valery, who presen tly is teaching English in his " school practice" in Russia. Val ery wrote , more than two months after the death o f President Kennedy , " W e we re a nd still are much aggrieved over th e assassination of President Ken nedy. It 's sad that only after someone's death do we appreciate him . H e ha s don e much for humanity and ever will live in peoples' memories." Valery listened to - Johnson 's ..address to C ongress. H e h~'{>es that he will follow President ,Kennedy and in turn do much for J1eace all over the world." A WS Book Drive l\.

In the .f.ourth quarter the teams matched each .. 9 th er point for point and the Trojaµ_s emerged victorious and dethroned the Re jects from their perennial berth as champs 61-59. Matt Himlin of the Rejects was the high scorer in the game with 20 points. Many upsets characterized dorm action with a three way tie emerging after this week's play. The League leaders, Butler Hall and Gore Hall. both with unblemished records , met head on in a game which was to set the stage for one of the most exciting weeks in Intramural play. Gore hall jumped off to a 9-5 lead in the first period, but Butler Hall quickly rebounded on the stalward offensive play of Ed Comstock to take the lead at half 16-15. Larry Gubanich then took charge of Gore's offense and was <1ided by J. Holmstrom and B. Mu lford , and Gore rega ined th e lead a t,, the end of the third period and from this point they were never headed as they w ent on to beat Butler 32-28. Gore's only obstacle to the Dorm Championship was once b eaten Butler Hall. But Butler Hall had no inten tion of relinquishing their title as Dorm champions. In the first quarter Barre jumped out to a 7-4 lead, and this was the closest that Gore came for the rest of the evening as Dunn and Houliston split 30 points in leading Earre to a 55-27 upset. Larry Gubanich was high for the losers with 11. With Barre 's win over Gore the Dorm League was thrown into a three-way tie for first place between Butler, Gore and Barre. Each team sports a 6-1 record and will meet thi s week in a round robin playoff to decide which will represent the Dorm League against the high flying Trojans.

In general , I think tha t its p sycholog ical part was o v erpowe ring, so much so tha t one could easil y forg et that the mov ie has a definite sociological se tting . What I mea n here is firs t, the fam ily; second , class, or a ctua ll y respective cl;,isses; and third , w ha t mi ght be conveniently called the reference group - Bo rstal boy s. F o r tha t rea son, while not forg etting its individualistic a sp ect, I tried to see the central figure in the to ta lity o f the sociological set-up . VIEWPOINT '64 President Johnson's Decision Once you ma p a nd explore th e te rritory in w hi ch th e hero was o peratin g, you ma y cl ea rly recognize a fa mily o f low soci o-economic cl ass. Th e contras tin g class v alu es a nd id eologi es a re pretty w ell illustra ted in th e scene in w hi ch two boys w atch a television speech of a representa tive of society. Th ey eli mina te sound a nd enjoy th e ca rica ture o f man . Th e scene shows a la ck of communication between cl asses. Fu r ther, y ou see a drama in a sketchy form ; one relev a nt part of th e family 's hi story is presented th e dy in g fath er a nd his easy rep la cement by a " fath er " subs titute. F o r o ur hero, th is fath er substitute is a n intruder for ever. Now, here in this socio-cultural milieu, one has to look for the foundations of the actor's ego-identity. Here one may locate the grounds for growing consciousness of w hat Collins, the hero, is about to become in a society, his conception of himself, and his own role in life. D O YOU THINK COLLINS WAS LONE LY? C ollins is not a " lone wolf." He has a fri end . Both belong to the same class ; both a re membe rs o f the same age group ; both share th e same values. But w ha t is more importa n t, they transla te th em in to ac tio n - fi rst, into a n a lmost pla y ful autom obile theft, a nd then , into th e burglary . F rom th en on , a nd ma inly from th e moment o f a pprehension , th e soc ial stigmatization b egins to operate in a new w ay - imprisonm ent. HOW WOULD YOU EVALU ATE THE LIFE AT THE BORSTAL INSTITUTION? Th e Bo rstal clima te has both an authoritari a n and a p ermissiv e atmosphere. F o r me, however , the therapeutic cl ima te is mo re impo rta nt, beca use here is a chance for chan ge in th e psyc holog ica l a nd valu e ori entation of these young inmates. C ertainly there is a cha nce for C ollins, for he has an exce ptiona l position owing to his phys ica l fitness. H e a lso has f,tll support of the directo r o f this institution. (Cont inued on Page 3) - by Jeff Gallet Who w ill be the D emoc ra ti c Vi ce- Presidenti a l nominee? This is the question facing Presid ent Johnson . H e must pick a candida te who is not only technicall y qua lified to be President , but a lso one who w ill a dd politica l bala nce to the ticket. The li st o f potentia l ca ndidates is long . It ranges from S ena tor Muski e of M a in e to G o vernor Prown of C a li forni a. Th e only th ing that is certain is that the fin a l choice w ill be up to P resident Jo hnson a nd tha t he won 't make it until a ft er th e R epublica n C onvent ion in Jul y. _ The R epublica n ticket w ill be a big fa ctor in th e decision . If the R epu bli cans nominate a conse rva tiv e ticket, for exa mple , one headed by S ena to r Goldw ater, th e D emoc ra ts could lean towards a mo re conse rvat ive candidate. Th e theory is tha t the libera l vote will go D emocratic beca use it has no other cho ice. The liberals a re no t goin g to vo te for a ve ry conserva tive cand idate because they don 't like President Johnson 's middl e of th e road polic ies. The dange r in tha t theory is tha t th e lib era ls, ra ther tha n ma kin g a choice be tween two tickets they don' t like, w ill sit home a nd not vote at a ll. On th e o th er ha nd , if the R epublica ns nominate a mo re li bera l cand ida te , th e D emocrats w ill try to balan ce their ticket w ith a strong lib eral , one w ho is po pular w ith the la bor uni ons and civil lights groups. Th e na mes tha t com e up most often in th a t contex t a re Adla i Stev enson and Hubert Humphrey . A noth er consid erati on is geograph y. Th e President is a south westerner. This gives an advantag e to aspirants from the wes t coast (prefera bly California) a nd the northea st. E ven th e geogra phi cal a spe ct is dependent upon what the Republi ca ns do . If they nomin a te a northern er fo r th e Pres idency , th e D emocrats w ill pro bably lea n toward s a northerner, There are certa in cand ida tes w ho are not connected with any state or region in the public mind. Stevenson is one. R obe rt Kenned y is a nother. Th e la tter is a n interestin g case. H e ha s inh erited much o f his b roth er 's po pula rity , but he a lso has his own fo llowin g. H e has the reputation o f bei ng a to ugh, competent public o ffi cia l, but he has made man y enemies a nd w a s known a s hi s broth er 's " hatchet ma n ." H e would ca rry well in some northern industri a l a rea s, the predo mina ntly N egro sec tions, and the areas still loy a l to his brother, but he would hurt the ti cket in th e So uth a nd in some areas w here hi s economi c views have been qu estioned as being too co nse rv ati ve. Stev enson can be passed o v er a s a two- tim e loser w ithout a political ba se. His bes t cha nce w o uld be if th e R epubli cans nominate a liberal and LETT ER TO THE E DITOR run him on a liberal platform , but tha t seems unlikely . And eve n if that were to happen , Humphrey wo uld probabl y have the inside track. Thornburn Amusing? O f course, there are others in the runnin g: R. Sargent Shrive r, M ayor Ro bert Wa gner , S enator Eugene M cCarthy, a nd S ena tor " Scoop " Ja ckson, D ear Editor: jus t to name a few . Who w ill the D emocrats pick? Only time w ill tell, but I don 't consider Mr. Thorburn 's one can be sure that , w hen he is chosen , qualifications oth er tha n those for column an intrusion . In fa ct, I think th e job w ill be considered . it 's ra ther amusin g. Even Walt D isney would be p roud o f his fai ry tale. H e seems to be blindfold ed tow ard the fact that Russia w ill never accept :::::--- p ea ce. Disarmam ent wi ll only lead to o ur destruction because C ommunism is consigned to enslave the world. Another fac et a gainst th e tes t ban is that R ed C hina and France continu e to produce w eapon s.

S . interest should be promoted fi rs t a nd foremost because we a re th e only country ca pable o f lea dinq the world . M r. Thorburn states, " In nu mero us instances in th e M iddl e East, in Africa , and now C y prus , th e U . N . has shown its a bility to help ma inta in p ea ce." H e seems to forg et tha t eve ry country w ith whi ch the U .

I th ink it's a bout tim e fo r him to re turn to reality and reali ze C ommunism is a high price to pay for p eace. F inall y, I say to Mr. Tho rburn , yes, the usurpa tion of s ta tes ' rights has been unnecessary because the sta tes can best solve th eir own internal problems.

RON CZAJKOWS KI �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, March 13, 1964 Page 3 , Wegimont Speaks On Diplomacy; Engineering Students Awarded Scholarships Views New Trends In College by Andrea T emplar M. Pierre W egimont, the newest member of the language department, is a ruggedly impressive man. The burn of fresh air on his face suggests that he might have spent winters in the French Alps, and his well-reasoned ideas reflect long hours of discussion over hot coffee and blazing fires. M. Wegimont is a native of Belgium. He received his Bachelor of Arts at Our Lady of Peace at Namur and his Doctorate of Law at the University of Brussels. A Bachelor of Arts degree in Europe requires a two-year course of study at a university. A doctorate in Law necessitates an additional three years and is equivalent to our Master's degree. By studying law, M. Wegimont prepared himself for almost any profession in the humanities, because the required courses are designed not only for lawyers, but also for journallsts, teachers, political scientists, or any number of professions. H e began th e interview by a discussion of the attitude of today's students as compared to that of students of past years. M. Wegimont noted that both Europe a nd America have been caught in a new trend of education which necessitates the decline of the witty, controve rsial man of old universities. The new studen t studies in an atmosphere devoid of the romantic traditions of yesterday 's college world. CORE Heors Smith 0n Negro Militoncy Last Saturday the C oll ege was visi ted by Mr. Charles Smith of the Philadelphia chapter of the Congress cf Racial Equali ty. Mr. Smith , a volun ieer worker for the Philadel phia chapter, and himself a N eg ro , has deep insight into the current racia l situatio n. Mr. Smith also has ex tens ive knowledge of the workings and goals o f the Civil Rights Moveme nt , gai ned through his experience on nu merous CORE projects, both in and out o f Philadelphia. H e was invited to Wilkes by the coll ege cha pter of CORE in order to help th e group clarify its own position a nd become more fully aware of CORE's role and methods. Meeting informally in the lounge of Chapman H all , Mr. Smith and the s tudents discussed various aspects of th e Negro militancy. A distinction was frequently drawn between CORE and the othe r civ il rights organizations such as the NAACP and the National Urban League. Where the la tter two groups are essentiall y mid dle class, and have primarily legishtive and judicial aims, CORE, as Mr. Smith explai ned, has been successful in appealing to th e hardpressed slum -dwelling N egro and in leading the drive for better homes , better schools, and better jobs. In ad dition, although CORE recognizes the value o f new legislation and progressive court action , they th emselves rely on d irec t-ac tion methods. The group saw CORE's role as provi din g leadership and initiative to th e N egro community and as awakening the white population to dementa l problems o f disc rimi nation. First row, left to right: Anthony Suda, Mr. Alfred S. Martin, president, King Fifth Wheel, Kenneth Maloney. Second row: Cromwell Thomas, assistant professor of engineering, Arthur Hoover, assistant to the deans, and Walter H. R. Mohr, director of development at Wilkes . by Leona Sokash Pierre Wegimont M . Wegimont spoke also on di plomacy, a subj ect of foremost interest to him . H e suggested seve ra l reasons for France 's recent recognition o f Red Ch ina. H e said that diplomacy can be analogous to a chess game. Each calcula ted move is part of an entire scheme, and each has its equated va lu e. As pawns are moved, as bishops take ranks, diplomatic relations between Europe and Asia w ill be streng th ened , until one day a ll o f Europe will probably recogni ze Red China. From th ere its acceptance into th e U .N. will be inevitable. M . W eg imont's adventurous nature and appetite for difficult tas ks ha ve taken him across Europe , to Canada, and to th e Belgian Con go in Africa. In th e Congo he taught for a year. In Canada he worked summers as a welder, laying the pip eline which carries natural gas across Canada. A welder, a traveler, a teacher - this is Pierre Wegimont, teacher of French. --: N O T I C E :-Mr. Richard Chapline regrets to announce that he has cancelled his "Town & Gown" concert scheduled for March 22, due to circumstances beyond his control. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• POMEROY'S BOOK SALE! $1.00 to $2.98 Originally published at 2 .50 to 18.00 Fabulous Savings on publishers overstock.

Al fred S . M artin , preside nt of King Fifth Wheel, made the presentations "LONELINESS" (Continued from Page 2 ) Yet this does not prevent him from suffering pain inflicted by the members of his reference group - other Bor• stal boys. He is ridiculed, beaten, ostracized. The impact of such group pressure and sanctions should not be overlooked. Certainly it is relevant to me, because this sanctioning power of the group, coupled with the ambiguity of the goal of the director expressed in his words, "If you help ME, I will help you," does not presumably create a favorable climate for a motivational and attitudinal change. D espite this, at one moment one is tempted to believe that th e change is already occurring . It is the scene in which C ollins is allowed to run w ith ou t cont rol. H erc he might be seen as being intoxicated by th e freedom , breathing freely , bein g alone. At times during th e run , he almost dances. HOW COULD YOU THEN EXPLAIN THE END? You mean the contest, don ' t you? This contest, the race, has also a very importa nt soc iologica l d im ension. As I think about it, it is basicall y a fight between a representative of an upper or upper middle socioeconomic class a nd a representative o f a lower socio-economic class. The picture clearly em ph asizes th e difference, o r if I may use another term taken from the tit le of the movie, a distance. For this reason, the run for Collins is not a simple run, for during it a recapitulation of previous experiences occurs. But more importantly, it is the final and most decisive part of the process I have called search for identity. At this moment one should recall the short episode in which Collins meets his friend and fellow in crime at the Borstal institution. This appearance is a living reminder of his past. To start again , as you may recall , during his run there is a rapid succession of gay and inviting pictures, and depressing and sombre ones. And to Kenneth L. Ma loney, a chemistry records, their evidence of needs and major , and Anthony P . Suda, a phys- th eir decision to pursue a career in ics major. science. M aloney a nd Suda were the two s tudents fin a ll y chosen. In Novembe r, Mr. M artin was visited by Dr. Eugene Farley and King Fifth Wheel has contributed Arthur Hoover who brought with to th e College 's scholarshi p fund in th em a list of ten students w ho qual - the past. These particular grants ifi ed on th e basis of th eir academic have no sti pulatio ns atta ched to them. then , the climax - to give up the race . While there may be num erous psychological ex pl ana tions (and I am not excluding th em), I am inclined to think that the abandonment of the race has its symbolic meaning and that it has to be related to the sociologica l variable; that is, th e family fram ed in a valu e system and constra ined by the condition of a lower social stratum. •••••••••••••••••••••••• College Charms - Rings Brooches Miniature Rings and Charm Bracelets •••••••••••••••••••••••• Dalon's Fireside Room FRANK CLARK 248 Wyoming Ave ., Kingston Jeweler One of the Nicer Places to Dine •••••••••••••••••••••••• Steaks & Seafood - Our Specialty RAZOR HAIRCUTTING •••••••••••••••••••••••• STERLING BARBER SERVICE Look Your Best . • .

This will be the largest swimming tourney of its kind ever held in the local area, and swimmers from all over Eastern Pennsylvania are expected to compete for be rths in the Eastern Regiona l Championships to be held later this month. The Senior division swimming will be held at the YMCA and the younger age groups will meet at the Wyoming Seminary pool. The meets are scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Saturday. Several members of the Wilkes swim team have been selected to officiate at the meet. lntramurals by Lee Wasilewski Last week 's intramural basketball action was characterized by a game which set a multitude of records. Most records set in intramural action this year were attributed to high score or low score, but the Rejects and See-I-Owes will go down in the record books for playing the longest game in intramural basketball history. At the end of the regulation game the Rejects and See,1-Owes were all knotted up at 52 all. Then came the first of five overtime periods. The game ended with the Rejects winning 82-79 and clinching first place in the American League. In the dorm league, both Butler and Gore Halls, the two pennant contenders, . were victorious. Gore edged out Holl$nback 36-32 for their 5th win in a row as Larry Gubamch and John Holmstrom paced the attack with 14 and 12 points respectively. Lloyd and Spencer split 16 for the losers. Butler also stayed undefeated in 5 games as they swamped Ashley 65-28 with Joe Kruczek and Ted Travis-Bey ~plitting 55 points. Don Mason and Dick Burns split 16 for the losers. In other games. Miner Hall walked over Slocum 54-36 as Curry rimmed 18 for the w inners. Barry Hall took the measure of Gore 55-27 to tie up the dorm division last Monday. Barre, Gore, and Butler are in the three-way deadlock and will play off at a date to be announced . The Beacon sports staff is continuing in presenting " Seasonal Sports Awards" to outstandin g athletes for their performances in the various sports. In this issu e, winter sports awards are given to individual standouts on the wrestling, swimming, and basketball teams. The awana for the outstanding wrestler this past season goes to Brooke Yeager. An aggressive wrestler, Brooke has a fine mat record and sets a precedent for upcoming novices. As a result of his talent for winning , his grappling career shows win after win over strong competition. Brooke has won numerous awards for his wrestling and has established himself as one of the most talented wrestlers Wilkes has seen. Dick Morgan gains the nod for the outstanding cager this season. As team captain, Dick has been valuab le defensively and as a spirited playmaker. Dick produced two records this season, most points scored in a single game, and most field goals in one game. Dick a lso shares high point honors for the season with Dale Nicholson. The Beacon sports staff feels Dick is deserving of this award for his value to the Colonel basketball team. Th ere is no doubt that Ron " Whale" Daggett sets the most grueling pace for the swimming team. Skillful in all phases of aquatics, Ron regularly swims the 200-yard individual, butterfly, and breasts troke events. This season Ron set a new 200-yard individual medley record with a time of 2:33.6, breaking a mark which stood since 1960. Along with Jon C arsman , Jack Barnes, and Mike Schooley, Ron was part of the record setting 400-yard free relay team which broke a long standing mark of 4: 12 with a new time of 4:04. Ron began swimming competitively at the age o f thirteen and has come a long way since the start of his career. His contributions to the swim team have greatly helped the Mermen during the past season, and the Beacon staff is looking forward to observing Ron's efforts next year. •••••••••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••••••••••• . . .

SG Passes Popular Election Amend1T1ent AMENDMENT DEBATED AT ICG MEETING STUDENTS WILL NOW DECIDE FATE by Barbara Simms At a recent ICG meeting , a debate was held on a proposed amendment to the Student Government constitution. If thi s am endm ent is passed, the President of the Student Government ' will be chosen by the student body, rather than by the Student Government representatives, as he is now. Dick Burns, President of Student Government, and Jeff Gallet, member of th e Court of Appeals, argued that the President should be popularly elected. They were opposed by Rich Shemo, Chairman of the Student Governm ent Constitution Committee, and Fred Smithson, parliamentarian of Student Government and chairman of the Court of Appeals. Shemo opened the debate with the assertion that the students are not w ell enough versed on the abilities of each of the members to choose the Pres ident from among them , and for this reason, the choice heretofore has been left to the members themselves. H e stated that since the student body elects its representatives, it gives a vote of confidence to them to choose th eir leader . He also pointed out some dangers of popular election. It might be reduced to a mere popularity con- OF PRESID ·E NTIAL AMENDMENT tes t. It might lead to bloc voting, in which a large group of students might get together and vote for a candidate for no better reason than that he is a member of their class. In an election where there is a lack of interest, a mediocre candidate might gain a victory through a small group voting for him . by Rich Kramer ARTICLE 5, SECTION 2. The If current legislation is approved by newly elected Student Government Maturity Involved Gallet opened the affirmative argu ment by stating that the question is not whether a small or a large group votes, it is whether a student is mature enough and capable enough to choose his own leader. H e said that because college students are more intelligent than averag e people, they are less likely to vote for a candidate for poor reasons . Under the proposed amend ment , he continued, the nominations would have to come from the Student Government members; th erefore , the candidates would all be capable. He said, "There is little doubt in my mind that the present system of electing the Student Government President is objectionable and unacceptable." There is politicking within a small group, and although we have been lucky in getting good leaders so far, this does not a lways have to be the case. As far as the students not being aware of the qualifi~ations of the members, he claimed 'iJ. to be a poor argument. The purpos·e of the campaign in the general ' election is to acquaint the voters with the candidates' a chievements. Rich Shemo the United States to th e Congress is a weak one. In Student Government, the relationship is closer and is only developed by allowing the members to choose their own leaders. A popula r election might create animosities by the fact that the members might not want to follow that particular leader. Burns closed the affirmative argument with the points that an elected candidate would work harder and better to make the students notice him, that he would have to take stands on controversial issues. These actions lead to growth. The popular election would give the students a chance to s how their material. As for animosities arising, he answered that in the Negative Argument present system, the group could be split by a 7-5 vote , that it is up to Smithson began his argum ents J-,y the President to mold the group into stating that in a campaign a candi- an effici ent organization. date can give his qualifications by listing the offices he has held a nd the committees he has been on, but only NOTICE th e members of the Student Government know whether he worked at IDC President, George Evancho, th ese jobs or not , or w hether he would has requested that students make a good leader. He reasoned that keep the Student Union, clean, the analogy between the relation of or it will have to be closed. the President of Student Government to the members and the President of * Dick Burns * SMOKING SURVEY a plebiscite of the student body, the next President of the Wilkes College Student Government will be elected by popular ballot. This resolution was the outcome of debate at the regular meeting of Student Government on Monday afternoon. The attempt to alter the constitution of the Wilkes College student body is the first tangible result in a series of proposals pending action by Student Government for some tim e. A long-standing topic of debate in student government circles is the election of a Student Government representative to replace the newly chosen President of that group. Since the President is elected in the spring, several Student Government members felt that the replacement represen tative should also be elected at that time to maintain the membership in the organization at full force and to give the new member time to become acclimated to his new responsibilities. Many members, however, felt that the present custom of electing this re placement representative within the first three weeks of the subsequ ent fall s ~mester would enable prospective candidates for the position to raise their academic averages in order to qualify. Since Student Government could not reach a decision on this matter, its presentation to the student body for their approval may be delayed indefinitely. Below is a partial text of the proposed changes in the constitution of the Wilkes College student body. These amendments, in their final form as passed by Student Government, will be presented for the approval of the entire student body. ARTICLE 3, SECTION I, PARA. GRAPH 2. Upon the election of the President of the Student Government, the class w hich he represents shall thereupon be entitled to an additional representative who shall be chosen by a special election as stated in Article 4, Section 3. LMC Committee members s hall meet within one week after their election to nominate from within their group candidates for the Student Government Presidency. ARTICLE 5, SECTION 4. Nomination and election of the vice-president, treasurer, and secretary of Student Government shall be by the newly elected Student Government mem bers from within their group at the last meeting of the spring semester. To be elected, a candidate must receive a plurality of the votes cast. All officers-elect shall take office immediately after all elected offices are fill ed. Their normal terms of office shall continue for the duration of the Student Government's term in office. ARTICLE 7, SECTION 3, PARAGRAPH I, SUB-SECTION (a) The appellant shall file with th e Chairman of the Court a written summary, as determined from the minutes of past Student Government meetings, containing the argumentation and evidence presented by him. No new evidence shall be adduced at this time. The Student Government, in turn , shall also file a written summary on the same case, listing the reasons for its decision and including the minutes of the meeti~ g(s) at which the question was argu'ed. ARTICLE 7, SECTION 3, PARA, GRAPH 3. The Student Government may override the Court's decision if a three-fourths vote of the Government's membership is obtained in favor of such action. If not, the decision as rendered by the Court of Appeals will be final. ARTICLE 9, SECTION I, PARAGRAPH 4. Student Government meetings shall be open to members of the student body unless otherwise determined by the Student Government membership. Members of the student body attending meetings will be without voice until recognized by the president. Solves Disputes Queens Do II, Pioneers Do II, Indians Do II, Mammy Yokum Does 11Have Wilkes students seriously heeded the recent reports linking lung cancer and other diseases to cigarette smoking? Are the students going to qui.! smoking completely? When presented with thi s question , none of the students intervi ewed in our Beacon survey answered aff irmatively. Most are cutting down, or would like to cut down, on their smoking, while the rest are still smoking the sa me amount of cigarettes. Dian Schoenfeld: "I cut down from a pack a day to about three cigarettes a day. The same thing will happen in th e United States as it did in Eng land. Th e people will go back to smoking as man y or more than they did befor e." Rosemary Baiera: "I am smoking as much as I did before; I have no will power to stop. If I stop smoking , I'd probably bite my nails. I enjoy it, a nd I feel healthy. " a cigarette I felt as if I needed one. " Donald Powell : "I will cut down , but I won't stop completely." Mary Lou Snee: "I enjoy smoking too much to quit." Dr. Bliss: "By smoking, I am recogn iz ing the inevitable." Pete Palmere: "I must have a reason to quit. To me the advice of the comm ittee is not a valid reason, even though their findings might be true." S ara Perugino: "The p i o n e e rs smoked, famous queens smoked, the Indians smoked , Mammy Yokum smokes, and they all lived a full , rich life." Senor Val ero: "I began smok inq (American cigarettes) at th e age of 25 when I was in the military service.

CCUN Represents Finland In Assembly by Marshall Evans Members of Wilkes ' CCUN are attending the National Model General Assembly being held in New Yark this weekend. Colleges from all over the United States send representatives to this conference each year to take part in a model assembly. Each school re;:,resents one country. Its representatives consider and debate the same problems that fac e the actual General Assembly. The initial meeting will take place in the General Assembly of the United Nations, while other meetings take place at the Commodore Hotel. During th e conference. students attending will be addressed by officials of the Un ited Nations. Wilkes· CCUN delegates will be representing Finland, and, as such, will visit a nd be briefed by members of the Finnish delegation before they attend the assembly. They will be advised as to the Finnish stand on issues, and the delegates will then vote accordingly when resolutions are drafted. Members of Wilkes' CCUN attending will be Alan Krieger, Jim Jenkin s, P auline Homko, Carol Mayer, Don Ungemah , Jeff Roberts, and Dr. Bronis Kaslas , advisor to the group. by Ruth Partilla Due to the high unemployment rate caused by the decrease in anthracite coal production in the I 940's, WilkesBarre attempted to attract new industries to this area. With these new industries came the problem of labormanagement relations. Late in 1956, M'.lis problem was partially solved by ·the establishment of a Labor-Managem"1t-C itizens Commi ttee containing thi;ty members: ten representing organized labor, ten from management, and ten chosen from the public, one of which was appointed chairman. The purposes of this committee, as stated in the charter, are to "mediate industrial disputes after they have occurred or preferably before they started; to offer industry and labor the best management-labor climate in the country; and to establish and build up a national reputation of excellent labor-manag ement relations and a positive favorable labor-management, and the public will all participate to their mutual advantage". The execu tive director of the LMC. Dr. Samuel Rosenberg, explai ning membership on the Committee, stated, "All members are individuals of stature in the community. Some represent various churches, some are presidents and vice-presidents of their companies. a nd some are officers of labor unions. All are vitally interested in community affairs." Five Principles The charter under which the LMC Committee operates is founded on five basic principles: I. Workers have the right to join a union. Dr. Rosenberg 2. Management has the right to direct the operations of the enterprise. 3. There should be no racial or national discrimination against workers. 4. Labor and management are to be offered voluntary use of the LMC Committee in the areas of mediation, fact finding, and arbitration. 5. An educational program should be made available for better understanding between workers , stewards, union officials, foremen, supervisors, and managers. The Committee is usually consulted when local organizations are involved in a dispute in which local (C~tinued l'" P.•9• 3) �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 EDITORIAL .... APATHY As you are well aware, our campus seems to be no exception w hen it comes to being a target for accusations concerning the apathy of our students. Some individuals seem to have a great knack for inflating minor incidents where students have failed to show interest and stating, ··Boy, are the students on our campus apathetic." But, on the other hand, these very same students fail to recognize the amount of activity in which many students are participating and displaying a great deal of concern. In the past few weeks, Jeff Gallet has taken the time to express his views on a number of political subjects, and we are pleased to say that his views were not passively accepted, but that he was challenged by a letter from one of our students. The week before last, our campus w as the site of a fashion show. Students not only absorbed what they saw, but through this paper, one particular person expressed his feelings on the manner in which this affair was organized. In citing these instances, I am not in any sense trying to say that the students should constantly disagree among themselves and thereby accomplish nothing. I am saying that through such actions , more individuals become involved . . .. someone's feelings are hurt .. .. someone is disturbed to the point of action . We can never hope to encourage participation merely through group efforts. People just w on ' t respond . But stimulate their ego, and they are immediately brought to realize the importance of participation, if only for the purpose of defending their own ideas. Another instance which probably might have gone unnoticed is one in regard to Freshman Weekend. During this weekend the potential freshman students visit the campus for two days and are oriented to various phases of college life. This weekend had bee n part of our school's policy for a number of years. and under the direction of IDC , it has developed into quite an enjoyable weekend. A fe w w eeks ago, the administration decided to cancel freshman w eekend, saying that it was not va luable to the freshmen , because it failed to present any phase of academic life. Had our students been apathetic, this decision w ould have been sustained, and freshman weekend would have vanished. BUT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN . Through the efforts of IDC and the Accounting Club, the weekend was reinstat~q. Both these organizations not only expressed the desire to contribute their time and effort. but also each decided to personally assume all the respective costs for the weekend, thus relieving the administration of their burden. All the previously mentioned cases are examples of nonapathetic s tudents actively pursuing their own fields of interest. This goes to show that students do respond, and I am sure that if one would carefully examine the situation , he would find that the majority of the students at Wilkes College are not apathetic . J.J.K. WITH FEELING Mr . Richard Chapline, member of the music department , was involved in a head-on collision in Dover, N. J. , las t Saturday . He suffered abrasions and v arious injuries, none of a very serious nature.. He is recuperating in Dover General Hospital. The Beacon wishes him a speedy recovery. We regret the recent death of Mr. Stanley Gutin's mother. Mr. Gutin is a member of the English department . The Beacon joins wi th him in his grief. • • Friday, March 6, 1964 Letters to the Editor AWS ANSWER D ear Editor: I would like to answer Mr. Squier's letter of February 28, concerning the judges of Glamour Magazine's contest for the Best Dressed Coed. Associated Women Students is aware that fash ion experts are more capable than college teachers of rendering an accurate opinion concerning c u r r e n t styles. The object of the contest, however , is not to choose a coed with a professional look, but one who exemplifies the dressing habits of the American college girl. Glamour Magazine believes this purpose is achieved by having members o f the faculty participate as judges, since they have the opportunity o f seei ng these girls every day. Sincerely, DANA SALADON President, A .W .S . WHO'S TO BLAME? D ea r Editor: F or some tim e now people on this campus have been waging a losing battle wi th apathy. Th e students of Wilkes College as a whole seem to do much complaining, but never actually do any thing else. As an interested person, I have looked into this problem . One answer to it consistently comes up . This a nswer seems to put the blame on th e administration. The feeling is that the studen ts a re ti ed down by conservatism. It is my contention that , before such a complaint is ma de, the students should first look at themselves a nd their own organizations. It seems that there is more dissension between the different organizations on campus than th ere is between politica l parties in a troubled A sia tic gove rnment. Dates for events are so juggled , or else so hard to get, that no one can organize a ny fun ction adequa tely. Clubs and oth er groups have to struggl e so hard against th emse lves, in order to survive, that the average student gets no benefit from their existence. Every time a new a nd fresh id ea or a spark of spirit is conceived, it is qu enched by all the "red tape" and " party politics" o f almost every group on campus. I feel that th e Beacon as the voice of the students should expose these goings on to th e entire student body, so that they ( the students) will be aware of the problem and arise to do something about it. This the students can accomplish by writing letters to the Beacon, attending Student Government , roe, and thei r own class meetings. Respec tfully submitted , DIANNE ALFARO THANK YOU D ear Miss Lore: W e would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone w ho helped make the first 1964 Senior Art Exhibit ~e great success that it was. First, Mr. Colson and Mr. Richards, our advisors, Mr. Jervis and the crew, and the two hundred and twenty peopl e who attended the show.

In closing, we wish all other senior a rt majors much luck wi th th ei r exhibits and hope that they can benefit fro m our mistakes. Tha nk you, Bill Williams, Jan Pethick, Len Yablonski WHERE'S THE MONEY FROM? D ear Editor: It is no t our purpose to continue a con troversy with the Student Government, but we do believe that all organizations at Wilkes College should opera te under the same sta ndards o f eq uality and treatment. C ertain actions of the Student Government in the recent past seem to viola te the very principles w hich were la id down to the Interdormitory Council prlier in the school yea r. We now mevely raise a point o f informa tion, and we hope that the Student Government will clear up our feelings of curiosity. D u ring th e discussion over the budge t requests, we understood that gifts, whether financed by allotment o r by earnings, could not legally be made by any Wilkes College student organization. Speci fic a ll y, th is limitation LA YING IT ON THE LINE D ea r Editor: Wh y is a Wilkes cafeteria line like a middle-aged adult? Answer: because it grows in the middle where it 's not supposed to. Why do some people feel that it is their right to cut into line in front o f those w ho ha ve been waiting quite a whil e? The purpose o f a line is to maintain order while being served. Can you imagine the chaos that would ensue if everybody would demand to be served a t once? The purpose o f a line, in normal behavior, is to move forward. T o the astonishment of th e s tudent at the end of the Commons lin e, however, he find s the line moving backward! Some students, who think Mann ers is th e name of a butler, install a fifth column in the lin e to move alon g with the un suspecti ng innocents. When the space retainer reaches th e bulletin board . the cutter, apparently sta rving beyond all power of imagination, waltzes up and performs hi s " Open , Sesame!" act with a "Hi! Let me in , w ill you?" Not only does he get in, he brings his relatives, friends, and anybody else he hapo ens to pick up a long the way. IDC is aware of this problem and has discussed it, but it is up to the students to act. It's tim e we tau ght th ese people some mann ers. If these line penetrators are that hungry, perhaps some special provision could be made for th em. In any case, they should a t least remember that it takes more than one person to ma ke a line.

Clea rly our overriding interest is th e maintenance of peace without the loss of our own na tional sovereignty or freedom or undue intrusion on th e sovereignty of o th ers. In numerous instances in the M iddle East, in Africa, and now in Cyprus, the U . N. has shown its ab ility to help maintain peace. The U . S. has, of course, other in teres ts as well.

One final point. "The rights of th e states have been unnecessarily usurp ed by the F edera l Government." Undoubtedly the Federal Government nci> w o pera tes in sha res previously fe's·e rve d for th e sta tes. Has this usurpation been unn ecessary? In many a reas the states proved th emse lves ei ther unwilling or unabl e to cope wi th th e problems o f modern socie ty . Seg regation, mass un employment, urban deterioration, and industrial development of areas like the T ennessee River Valley are probl ems that th e Federal Government has been forc ed to han dl e. The government has been forced to intervene in matters of intersta te commerce a nd mass communications only because the states were unable to do an adequate job. This is not usurpatio n. It is a necessa ry extension of government if a na tion is to achieve full and equal prosperity for all its citizens. •••••••••••••••••••••••• N O TICE Philadelphia CO RE Representative at Chapman Hall at 2:30 P .M.

BEACON Honors Dick Morgon With 'Athlete 01 The Week' Laurels Cage Captain Holds 3 Game Records On Season In Ending Court Career by Ivor Smith The Beacon turns to the basketball team in search of a recipient of this week 's "Athl ete of the Week." Team captain, Dick Morgan, is given this issue's Beacon laurels. An outstanding performer all year as a guard, Dick has proved his value to th e squad many times. Dick is a native of Spring City , Pennsylvania, an English major and current resident of Gore Hall. He attended Phoenixville High School where he captained the basketball and cross-country teams. His high school track team also had the use of Dick's talents. Dick holds letters in all three of these sports. The Colonel soccer team has had advantage of Dick's fine work for the past three seasons. He has also lettered in that sport. His soccer talents have earned him three Stagg awards, and he is one of the finest soccer players Wilkes has seen in a number of years. It is interesting to note that Dick never played soccer before he entered Wilkes. On the basketball court, Dick has been invaluable to the team as a playmaker and sparkplug for the Wilkes cagers. Although the team has not produced a winning season, Dick Morgan is still to be noticed. When the current of the game slows, he manages to keep life in the team. Dick's record this season demonstrates his spirit and drive, along with Dick Morgan his defensive skill and role as playmaker. He holds the current season's high for Wilkes in total points scored in one game - 27 against Albright. H e also made the most fie ld goals scored in one game also against Albright. When Wilkes challenged Harpur, Dick had th e free -throw high for the Colonels, dropping in 8 out of 11 from the foul line. Dick Morgan is to be congratulated for his efforts on the basketball team , and the BEACON sports staff does so in awarding him "Athlete of the Week" honors in this issue . � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

A recent column in the BEACON proposed that in the future the President ought to be chosen by popular election. Out of the twenty-six students - interviewed in a recent BEACON survey, sixteen favored popular election, while the remaining ten opposed the idea. Students favoring election by the s tudent body included: Neil Remland , freshman : "The election should be taken from the floor to let the student body know who is running. A student may have voted for two certain people for Student Government representatives from his Did The Beacon Get A Date? class, but he may have a p reference as to which of the two he would like to see as president. " Sumner Hayward, junior: "Nominations by Student Government with popular elections for president of the governing body is desirable. Such procedure can increase student interest in their government and yet provide Student Government with some control in th.e selection of THEIR president." Sylvia Carstensen, freshman: "The student body should elect the president for two reasons. First, such elections would arouse school spirit as the s tudents backed the candidates of their choice. Secondly, the United States Congress doesn 't elect the the Vol. XXV/11 , No. 18 national President; why then should the representative body of Wilkes elect the president of the Student Government?" Anonymous: " Of course the student body should choose the president. Otherwise those students who are interested but who aren't in Student Government are deprived of a voice in the election." Those opposed to popular election included: Gary Einhorn , senior: "I feel that the Student Government president should be elected by the class representatives rather than by popular vote. Because Student Government representatives see who is in action and who possesses the material needed in their leader, they are better qualified than a rather divorced student body in the selection of president." Carolyn Koslowski, freshman: "The president should be elected by the Student Government because the members know who is better qualified for the position; otherwise the election may become a popularity contest." Carolyn Kaplan , freshman : "The representatives should choose the president of Student Government, but if the students elect him , the candidates should first appear before the student body to explain their platforms and qualifications. " V emie Shiposh, freshman: "The student body elects the members of the Student Government as their repre- Beacon WILKES COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PENNA. sentatives. If they don't have faith in their choice of a president, they shouldn't have elected them as their representatives.'' John Cavallini, sophomore: "Student Go v e r n m en t representatives should be elected by the student body , but the president of Student Government should be elected by the representatives. The representatives, rather than the students, know who is best quali.~ied to preside over their meetings. Ed Pashinski , freshman: "The whole student body doesn't know the person well. Student Government members know him well and know his qualifi cations and can make a better choice." Clay Is The Greatest! Friday, February 28, 1964 Senior English Major Selected LODGE, KENNEDY LEAD IN STUDENT POLL In Clamour's 'Best Dressed' Contest by Charlotte Wetzel Last Friday, in addition to the election of class officers, a campus-wide political primary was sponsored by ICG . The purpose of this poll was to determine student preferences concerning the Pres idential and Vice-Presidential candidates who have been mentioned as prospective nominees for the national conventions to be held this summer. The members of the committee who directed the activities were chairman Joe Grohowski, Charles P etrillo, John Lore, Karen Volgamore, Andrea Petrasek and Judy Valunas. The local preliminaries for Glamour Magazine's annual Best Dressed Coed Contest were held recently at the College. Miss Barbara Gallagher was chosen as Eest Dressed Coed among ten women w ho demonstrated their tastes and fashion sense by modeling on-campus, off-campus, and evening ensembles. Th ey were Misses Pam DeHaven, Jane Edwards, Ruth Friedlander, Bonnie Hyatt, Lee McClosky , Ann Marie Mickle, Marie Persic, Joan Smith, and Regina Watkins. Miss Gallagh er's on campus selection was a blue and white V -neck shift jumper complemented by a blue silk crepe blouse, a gold bracelet, and tan kid flats. She chose a dark blue three piece knit suit for off-campus wear. The collarless jacket, trimmed in white, topped a sleeveless shell and straight skirt. Miss Gallagher's evening dre;is was a black crepe j"jth the bodice forming a V in front and back. The bronze peau de soie overskirt accentuated the slim black skirt. A topaz dinner ring and silk clutch bag completed the evening ensemble. A bouquet of American Beauty roses was presented to Miss Gallagher by the Lettermen. She also received a silver charm and bracelet from A WS.

'Silver .Opinion' Scholarships Available To Women Students During the months of February and March, Reed & Barton, America 's oldest major silversmiths, are conducting a "Silver Opinion Competition " in which valuable scholarships totalling $2050 are being offered to duly enrolled women students at a few selected colleges and universities. Wilkes College has been selected to enter the Competition in wh ich the First Grand Award is a $500 cash scholarship ; Second Grand Award is a $300 scholarship; Third Grand Award is a $250 scholarship; fourth, fifth and sixth awards are $200 scholarships; and seventh , eighth, ninth, and tenth a re $100 scholarships. In addition , there will be 100 other awards consisting of sterling silver, fine ch ina and crystal with a retail value of approximately $50. In the 1964 "Silver Opinion Competition" , an entry form illustrates twelve designs of sterling with eight designs of both china and crystal. The entrants simply list the three best combinations of sterling, china, and crystal from the patterns illustrated. Scholarships and awards will be made to those entries matching or com ing closest to the unanimous selections of table-setting editors from three of the nation 's leading magazin es. Mary Russin and MiMi Wilson are the Student Representatives who are conducting the "Silver Opinion Competition" for Reed & Barton. Those interested in entering the "Silver Opinion Competition " should contact either Mary or MiMi for entry blanks and for complete details concerning th e Competition rules. They also have samples of twelve of the most popular Reed & Barton designs so that entrants can see how these sterling patterns actually look. Through the opinions on silver design expressed by college women competing for these scholarships, Reed & Barton hopes to compile a valuable library of expressions of young American taste. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Friday, February 28, 1964 Letters to the Editor Editorial Is Freedom of Speech An American Myth? Revilo P. Oliver, classics professor at the University of Illinois, tested the principle of freedom of speech recently, and the repercussions were violent. A torrent of comments, invectives, pans, barbs, and the like have been unleashed at the right-wing professor who attacked President Kennedy in a lengthy treatise in American Opinion magazine, the official monthly of the John Birch society. In the midst of this whirlpool of criticism, Oliver staunchly maintains, "What I have given was fact." His "facts" describe President Kennedy as a clever Communist agent who won the Presidency by "'peddling boob-bait for the suckers" and who was assassinated last year because be botched bis assigned role to capture the U. S. He also charges that Kennedy collaborated with Khrushchev on a "fake invasion" of Cuba to strengthen the Communist stronghold on the island and concludes that all the late President's activities were aimed at subverting and sabotaging our defenses. As · &ight be expected, the collegiate press throughout the nation responded vigorously - and in some cases surprisingly. Roger Ebert of the Daily Illi, of the University of Illinois, commented that "only a strong and free society could permit Professor Oliver bis own freedom. I see nothing wrong with his speaking out - particularly because by doing so he is disproving his own charges." Jack W. Peltason, acting provost of the U., degraded Oliver's views, but firmly defended his right to the sacred, untouchable freedom of speech. Competent Judges? Dear Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to suggest that in the future the Associated Women Students look into the possibility of obtaining judges for the Glamour Magazine contest for the best-dressed coed from among the population of Wilkes-Barre outside of the College Administration. These persons could be chosen from the local store managers and other individuals having a knowledge of current styles of clothing as well as modeling techniques. This move would render the nest choice possible and would eliminate any implication of bias in the choice of the contestant most qualified to represent our school in the national contests. To Members of the Junior Class: I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for electing me as your representative to Student Government. As your representative, I will try my best to serve you. If anyone has a particular stand on something or an idea which would pertain to the Student Government, I should appreciate it if you would drop a note in my mailbox at the bookstore.

The Editors Concluding that freedom of speech is restricted and that partial freedom is non-freedom, this editor berated people who wasted time arguing the point and inferred that they should instead calmly accept the fact and face reality. In our opinion, this attitude is far more dangerous than the professor's extremist charges. Especially dismaying is the fact that this passive attitude is becoming an accepted tenet of the youth of today. Thanks Last week Mr , Gallet proposed that write on the issues.

Liberal arts is dying, dying not because what it teaches is unnecessary in our modern world , but rather because of academic and social parochialism. That the artist of numbers 56 and 63 is a talented creator of Fine Arts is not in question. That the subject is a legitimate one for artistic expression is not in question. That these paintings have been displayed in other exhibits (Wyoming Valley Art League's current exhibit) is not in question. That the art department ad vocates the study of the human figure as "the most beautiful form " is not in question. But the question is the closed mind of society. Society no longer allows the fre e expression and free thought that is essential and paramount to a liberal arts education . The removal of the paintings is only a small and minor incident, but it points out the demise of a liberal arts education. Goya and Picasso (who have painted nudes) are considered " masters ," but students who try to follow masters are stopped. How can this be rationalized? World Literature students are required to study Chaucer, but "woe betide" if a student tried to write w ith the " masters '" realism.

In fact , this topic was highlighted in a recen t session of the Wilkes College Forum. Yet despite all the propaganda in behalf of hom e- rul e, there are several important reasons why such a course of action is neither favorable for the citizens living in Washington, D.C., nor feasible from the stand of the U .S . Government. ·• • The District of Columbia was established specifically as the seat of the F ederal Government . U nli ke most o ther ci ties, Washington did not grow at a geographically favorable site; it was deliberately chosen . In addition , its boundaries are fixed by law and cannot be increased. Washington has no specific industrial complex within its boundaries, and its revenues are limited to levies on light consumer and service businesses, a real estate tax , a levy on incomes, and sales and excise taxes. Fifty percent of the D istrict's area has been retired from the tax rolls because so much of its land is either fed erally owned or under irrevocable trusts. Each year , more of its land a rea is made tax exempt. Average Income Fell Most important, in re cent years, the average income of District resid en ts has fallen below that of their n eighbors in Virginia and Maryland. Property values in some parts of the city have dep recia ted , thus furth er reducing potential revenue source;;. Washington has little opportunity '-to increase its tax base because it has been almost wholly developed with in its own city limits. IF THE DISTRIC T OF C OLUMBIA WERE GRANTED A U TON OMY, IT WOULD IMME DIATELY BECOME BANKRUPT! Th e only remaining untapped reve• VIEWPOINT (Cont inu e d t o :n p ag e 2) Walsh said, " It is a known fact that the Communists exploit this kind of literature in order to break down the morals of our youth, thereby making th em more susceptible to Communism." It is only a short step from years. Since these men are by their that kind of statement to political censorship. In fac t, there a re "decent litera ture" groups attempting political censorship now . A democracy cannot tolerate poli tical censorship. The late John Kennedy told the Senate, "The lock on the door of the legislature , th e pa rli a men t, or the assembly hall by order of th e king , the commissa r, or the fuhr er has historically been fo llowed or preceded by a lock on the door of the printers, the publishers, or the booksellers." Let us not be misled by emo tional pleas.• As individuals we must reserve the right to read and to think unhampered by arti fi cial restraints. The right to read freely and the right to think fr eely are basic parts of o ur way of life. The censors ask us to surr end er thes e rights. I refus e. nue source then would be a payroll tax on residents of other areas who work, but do not live, in Washington. But thi s tax could hardly offset the substantial federal payment now made to it. In fact , this would tend to discourage expansion of faciliti es within its boundaries such as new service industri es, consumer installations, and perhaps federal offices. A full y autonomous Washington, D .C. would have no more legitimate right to demand money from the federal government than would any other pla ce that has a post office, a military installation, or a federal building within its boun daries. If th e District of C olumbia w ere to receive such a payment, every congressman could successfully argue that his district or any municipality in it a lso should receive such a paymen t for eve ry acre of land owned federall y and therefore not on its tax rolls. The C onstitution, in Article I, Section 8, Clause 17, states in part, that Cong ress shall ha ve the power "to exe rcise exclusive legislation in all cases, whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding 10 mi les square although enlarged to 70 miles square by a retrocession act in 1846) as may , by cession of particular states, and th e acceptance of Congress, become the sea t of the government of the U .S ." Even if th e word "exclusive" and the phrase "in all cases w hatsoever" ha d not been used in the above quotation , th ere would be no qu es tion concerning the authority and responsibility of Congress to govern and rule th e District of Columbia . But the very fact that they are used 'seems to emphasize that th e Framers ·were determined that there should be no conflict over federa l interest in and control over the D istri ct. In Hands of Congress Until 187 1 the D istrict was governed by a mayor and a leg islat ive council chosen by the people, and be- tween 1871 and 1874 the District was represented in the House of R epresentatives by a delegate chosen by th e voters. But due to inefficiency and corruption, especially in 1874, the present system of gove rnment was created in that year , whereby residents of the District elec t none of the officials w ho run the government under which they live. To insure the greatest good to the largest number of people, authority for running the District's affairs is placed exclusively in the hands of Congress. Let there be no misunderstanding. There is no quarrel with the desire to grant a ll citizens a maximum of selfgovernmen t. But, actuall y, the status of our nation 's capitol does not differ from that of any military pos t, federal reserva tion , park, or federal installation anywhere in the United States. P ersons living in fed era l complexes outsid e o f th e District o f Columbia have all the rights of other citizens, but th ey do not have the right to govern the affairs o f the places w here they live. In th ese areas , federal interes t a nd control are predom inant. By the same token , resid ents of the District of Columbia a lso are forbidden to have home-rule. Not only is the federa l interes t in a ffa irs of th e D istrict dominant , but th e federal responsibility, prescribed by law, must not be relinquished or redelegated. Th e advocates of home- rule have many complaints. In a ddition to being denied the right to govern themselves, they argue most congressmen are little concerned about District affairs. Housing , hospital, and educational conditions in Washington, it is argued, are deplorable. I wonder just how ma ny of these complainers availed themselves of the frequent sessions of th e House and Senate Committees, at wh ich interested residents and organizations may appear. . .

(Conti nued on p ag e 3) �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Editorial Letters to the Editor MERIT OR SPOILS? A few weeks ago, a great furor was raised over the hiring of an engineer for the county mapping department. There was no question of his ability to do the job. The only objection was that the engineer was not a resident of Luzerne County. We feel that a man's ability, rather than his residence, should be the main qualification for employment. That public officials are appointed on criteria other than their qualifications is nothing new , either to Luzerne County or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Many public employees are chosen on the basis of their connections, political service, residence, or other similar factors . This type of arrangement is unsatisfactory, because it does not have as its primary objective getting the most qualified people to work for the government. Uryder our spoils system, we often get public officials who are not qualified for the jobs they hold. This is due to the poor method of appointment and the large turnover of employees. Each time there is a change of parties there is a wholesale change of personnel. This discourages many qualified people from going into public service and leaves the field open to political hacks. Another objection to this is that jobs are often filled by political leaders on the basis of party loyalty rather than ability. The alternative to the spoils system is the civil service or merit system. This system is used by the federal government and more than half of the state governments. Under this type of program, employees are chosen on the basis of their ability rather than their connections. Competitive examinations take the place of political service as the main qualification for employment. The mechanics of this type of program are first explained in Article V , section 6 of the New York State Constitution: " Appointments and promotions in the civil s·e rvice of the state and all of the civil divisions thereof. including cities and villages, shall be made according to merit and fitness to be ascertained, as far as practicable, by examination, which as far as practicable, shall be competitive . . . " A civil service system leads to a ca~~er service of professional employees. These people are traiped for and experienced in the job that they hold. . A civil service system gives all citizens an equal opportunity to work for the government regardless of race, creed, religion, or political affiliations. A civil service system has been proven to be cheaper, more efficient, and less corrupt than a spoils system. The victorious candidates for both the statehouse and the courthouse have pledged to run the government in a businesslike manner. Certainly no business can operate on the spoils system. Now is the time for them to make good on their promises. Pennsylvania needs a comprehensive civil service system; Luzerne County needs a comprehensive civil service system, and they need it now. J.H.G . 1t/A11t Friday, February 21, 1964 • GALLET REPLIES Last week on this page we were privileged to print a column by Miss Rita Soboski of College Misericordia. Whil e I disagree with much of what she said, I respect her views as a legitimate political philosophy legitimately presented. Not so with a recent letter to the editor from a so-called conservative who does not have the courage of his convictions to sign hi s name. Mr. A. Conserva tive 's letter reads like a tex tbook example of logical fallacies. He has a total of eight fallacies in three paragraphs (argumentum ad hominem, misuse of emotional words, pandwagon, black and white, slanting, oversimplification, lifting out of context , and poisoning the wells). And just to set the record straight Mr. Conservative said, "It seems to me that Jeff Gallet is a man with a onetrack mind. Week after week he criticizes the conservative philosophy and Senator Barry Goldwater." The fact is that out of eleven columns and reviews which I have written for the Beacon, only two concerned Senator Goldwater or conservatism. Moreover, these columns were separated by a span of ten weeks (Nov. 22 and Feb . 7). Mr. Cons~rvative uses every trick in the book to avoid discussing the real issues. First he attacks me instead of the opinions I expressed. Then he tries an emotional approach. He tells us that the ideals of millions of Americans have been insulted, but at no time does he explain exactly which ideals have been insulted. Instead of explaining issues, he gives the trite argument that liberals and all others who oppose his ideas ( whatever they may be) are Communists, Communist sympathizers, or are completely ignorant of world affairs. To suggest that either President Johnson , Secretary Rusk, or Ambassador Stevenson is guilty of any of these accusations is ludicrous. I suggest that Mr. Conservative sit down and write another letter. This time I propose that he forget the personal attacks, the emotionalism, and the fallacious logic and write on the issues.

TODD GIBBS JU DY VALUNAS Joe, I'd like you to meet Bingo our new foreign exchange student from England ... he's' a music major with a minor in money and banking. D efection today has become a variety of things - a method of solving personal problems, an alternative to suicide, a cure for neurosis, a relief from emptiness, and perhaps intermingled with all of these a basic idealogical decision. The range of defectors stretches the entire gamut from government officials, high-ranking intelligence agents and famous scientists, to mental patients, tourists , simple folk , and ballet dancers. We, in the West, maintain a peculiar, but natural ambivalence in our attitude toward defectors. We describe Russians and East Germans defecting to the West as heroes, yet on the other hand , Americans and West Ger- mans who fl ee to the East are traitors. It is not easy to unders tand why someone would want to leave a free society and place himself under the strictures of a totalitarian regime. We feel the person must be unbalanced , so to speak, or rather desperately beset by overwhelming personal problems to cause his defection. On the other hand , we consider it as quite normal that any Russian would aspire to escape from his country and come to the United States where he may live in fre edom. da only slightly less than the average American believes the journalists that Hitlerism and Communism are one and the same." The Western policy, especially that of the United States, toward defectors is fraught with contradictions. In Washington , defection from East to West is officially praised as an escape to freedom; an excellen t solution for the enslaved peoples of the Soviet Union and her satellite countries. But American officials abroad , especially in West Germany, who have gained first-hand knowledge of Tough Choice the defector problem, hold the oppoDefec tion is a tough choice to make. site view.

This disturbing monster, symbolizing in a weak analogy the va·s t body of state-required education "·courses, is quickly des troying , in many instances, the dusky atmosphere that ~nee developed the satisfying and diligent pursuit of the liberal arts and the physical sciences. It is as greedy as dragons usually are and is sidlin g its bulk into the curriculum of the already frantic undergraduate overladen with the particular requirements of his own fi eld of study. The student's academic mili eu is shattered as this gluttenous fi end grows fatt er every year by gobbling up valuable , tim e that should be spent on courses of content. On campuses where more than half the student body intends to be either elementary or secondary teachers, th e students, rather tha n devoting their time to becoming scholars, must become busy little credit seekers. They must manipulate their schedules with quickly a<;quired agility to fit in th e various and sundry education requirements from H ealth and Safety to that final ignominy ( especially for math or science majors) the Teaching of Reading. Students ha ve no choice but to offer their sometiif.ies staggering semester loads in sacrjfice to that unappeasable pest guard ing the sacred treasure of certification. ,,., L' Ah , but w hile the little magicians, reputedly masters of the methodologies, ideologies, and psychologies of education, huddl e in their citadels hidden away in the stat e capitals slapping their dictums onto th e overgrowing list of requirements , what is happening to the caliber of teachers being produced? Education is an art. It is the accumulation of practical ski lls designed to aid the teacher in molding individuals - students rather than mere pupils. How can the appreciation of lea rning and th e development of personality be combined in th e child if the teacher has been saddled with educational theory , th eory , and more theory? State requirements such as American History broaden one's eve r incomplete background and are thus necessary , but w hat purpose is served by dis tracting the undergraduate with th e trivia required to teach teachers how to teach? In the training o f qualified personnel needed to staff the Am erican school, it is necessary to equip the prospec tive teacher with a thorough and well grounded mastery of the subj ect matter she will be responsible for teaching. Whether in elementary or secondary, the student seriously preparing himself to be a teacher of tomorrow 's youth should have th e opportunity to become a well rounded appreciator of the wonders of the printed word in order to transmute this awareness to his future classes. Whether th e fi eld be Hi story, English, Biology, or Hom e Economics, requirements should demand that teachers have fact s and figures at their fing ertips . . . rather than being concerned w ith th e accumulation of education credits. It w ould be folly to deny completely th e need of acquaintance with educational methods . But could this not be sa ti sfi ed by one dilig ent methods course to encompass theory and by student teaching to develop the practical skills needed ?

Hi gals! There's a career in retail advertis ing for you . . . IF you 'ge t a long with' people . . . IF you have imagination and the ability to temper it with com mon sense . . . IF you a re fl ex ible and en joy a challeng e ... IF you know that advertising and glamour a re not synonymous ... And, assuming of course, that you have a fl a ir for words and a wellrounded education. The retailer 's most important ad ve rtising medium is the newspaper. Then why do we list the above requi sites rather than technical ones such as layout and copy , knowledge o f type fac es, use of illustrations and so on? Because the technical aspects are easy to lea rn . You must have, or have the desire to acquire these other requisi tes. First things first . . . getting along with people! You will work with all personality types and temperam ents ... from artists to printers, to buy ers, merchandisers, to the Presid ent or Gen eral M a nag er. Each one thinks himself an advertising spec ialist. So, keep an open mind , be truly interested in all their ideas. Whether you think so or not, you' ll learn something from each on e. Now season thi s interest liberally wi th tact , tolerance, and patience, and you're well on you r way to a successful career. Imagination Important Imagination is important only if it's tempered with good old -fashioned common sense . Never allow yourself to be carried 'far out' on wings of fancy . . . even though it makes beautiful sounding copy. Y ou must know when to ask yourself .. . "if I read this ad in tomorrow's paper, would it make me want to buy thi s item?" . . . then give your-self a n hon est a nswer and take it from there. Yo u mus t be fle xible enough to change your thinking or ad approach on short noti ce. A store's job is to compete for the consumer dollar. You are the salesman w ho entices the peopl e with th ese consumer dollars into your store. Your sales strategy has to change with th e tim es and th e business climate. Your fl exib ility in appealing to all ages and types is a necessity. You must get just as exci ted about wri ting an ad for a powe r mower as you do over the latest Paris fashion. A s you can see , retail ad vert isin g presents a constant chall enge .. . the challenge of writing ads th a t sell merc handise . . . the challenge of writing a ds that fill your store with people eage r to buy items that will make th ei r lives happi er ones. Gratifying Work Ad vertising has been surrounded with an aura of glamour in several recent novels. Don 't let this misconception lu re you into retail advertising . It isn't glamourous. It's just plain down to earth work. Gratifying work , yes! And , we think, fun-work! But still , tim e- consuming work , no job for a clock watcher! Your ultimate goal will be that of Advertising Manag er, a nd this job being largely undefin ed , is as big or as little as th e person who has the title. This fact, we think, has th e chief appeal. Women make especially fine retail advert ising managers, inasmuch as most of the purchasing for the family is done by women . And w ho knows how a woman thinks and what motivates her to buy better than a woman! IF this brief resume gives you the urge to "get into advertising", do just tha t, a nd we can say from ex peri ence you'll never regret it. You'll find it extremely sa tisfying. It will keep you young and a lert , and there 'll never be a dull mom ent. �Friday, February 2 1, 1964 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 4 Tuhy Chosen Winner 01 Speak-Up Contest; Senior Art Exhibit Continues 'Government Should Be 01 Lows, Nol 01 Men' partment, was recently chosen as winner of the Speak U p contest, which Mr. Philip Tuhy, educational and is an annual event of the Jaycees. The research associate of Dr. Hugo V . participants use one of the six lines Mailey of the Political Science De- of the JCC Creed as a basis for their speeches. There were seven contestants in this year 's contest. by Charlotte W etzel Mr. Tuhy selected the following line as the theme of his oratorical presentation: W e believe the government should be of laws rather than of men. He continued to say, "Even though we disagree with the law, we cannot take it into our own hands." Furthermore, he cited the events which occurred in Dallas on November 22, the assassination of President Kennedy , and on November 24, the slaying of Lee Harvey Oswald, to illustrate the effects of the action when, "one man assumes the position of judge, jury, and executioner." He therefore came to the conclusion that if conditions need to be changed, we should proceed through legal methods. Mr. Tuhy currently holds the position of executive vice-president of the Wilkes-Barre Jaycees. Besides serving on num erous committees, he held such offices as secretary, external vice-president , and internal vicepresident. Last year he served as state Vice-President. Mr. Philip T uhy Seen Through A Cloud Of Smoke by John B. Hall How's Your T horn? Constantly appearing in the vocabulary of ordinarily sane, normal individua ls are certain \\Yords whose etymolog ical origins defy examination. They come from nowhere and return there when their dubious usefuln ess has run its course. I say "dubious usefulness" since their introduction into an ordinary conversation usually indicates a loss of memory on the part of the speaker. Probably the best known of these linguistic corruptions is " furn ," spelled with a " u." It can be used in an idiomatic (and idiotic ) expression, "How's your furn ?" , meaning "How are you?" P eople have also been known to for get their furns , to have a meeting with th eir furns , to have to study their furns for an exam the next day , and to generally be at a loss without their trusty furns somewhere close by . Furn , like life, signifies nothing. When one is not using his furn , it reposes in a " furndoc ." Other abominations of the English language, such as "kreel," "clyde" (or "clyve"), "veeblefetzer," and "snarfl e" achi eve th e same nerve-grating effec t. Not since the advent of "Jab berwocky " has the language been so rife with syllabic freaks . At last, however, a word (a term I use loosely) has come into vogue that I can, with some reasonable attempt at accuracy, trace to its source. The word is "thorn ." In Old English phonetics, there is a Runic symbol for the voiced and unvoiced " th " sound. This symbol, called th e " thorn, " resembles a "p," has a dec ided starboard list, and possesses a kickstand. With such an idiot symbol, this term could very easily have come to represent such an id iot concept as the " furn-kreel" school of terminology. Regardless of its origin, it is at least a recognized English word. Th ere ought to be a de finit e movement started to keep this word in our vocabulary. Students, unite!

The Warriors sent an extremely strong and fast team to the mats in securing the 17-5 victory. However, the Wilkes team has been rebuilding in an attempt to regain MAC supremecy, after they were dethroned by Lycoming two years ago. Evidence of the growing strength of th e young C olonel sq uad is found in th e fact that although Wilkes has been going with three freshmen on the varsity this season, th ey stand a good chance of bettering last season' s log.

Only the top four teams in the league are eli gible to play in the post-season tourn ey. Last Saturday, the Barons saw their hopes sink as they dropped a 112- 108 decision to the cellar-dwelling Wilmington Blue Bombers. Th e Bombers have proven to be a nemesis for the Barons as th ey have beaten the D elaware cagers only once this season.

The team's captain, Jack Barnes, has been chosen for his swimmi ng talen ts. A product o f Wyoming Seminary, Jack is a junior, majoring in Commerce and Finance, and upon graduating plans to en ter the se lling fi eld. Jack swims in the 50-ya rd and I 00ya rd freestyle events, boasting records in both. H e is .ilso a member o f the four -man, 400-ya rd free relay team , which holds the Wilkes record in tha t event. In a recent meet w ith P.M.C ., Jack gained first place in the 100-yard fr ees tyle event , and in a meet w ith Philadelp hia Textile he p roduced a first in the 50-yard free even t. Jack feels th e most exciting meet that he has participated in was against Millersvill e State , where both teams remained eq ual throughout the mee t unti l the final even t made Wilkes the victor. The team has lost a few meets but Jack says th ey were by slim margins and next year will prove different. When Ja~k attended Wyoming Seminary, he ea rned his letter in swimming and was captain of th e team. Hi s other interests include the Circle K Club and the Accounting Club. Jack states the team has grea t possib ilities in that it is composed o f talented freshmen and sophomores. Jack says the team has much spirit and because of this it has overcome the poor facilities in which the team must practice. The Beacon sports staff feels Jac k Barnes is deserving of this acclaim beca use of his interest in the swim team and for the fine performance that his efforts have produced. • • • • • • •• • • •• • • • • • •• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •• • • • •• • • • • • • Jack Barnes •••••••••••o••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• POMEROY'S Book Dept. - Third Floor FEATURES ALL THE BEST SELLING BOOKS at EVERYDAY LOW DISCOUNT Prices ! .

GALLET STOMPED TWICE ON PAGE 2 Friday , February 14, 1964 N e w Con ce pt I n Se n i or Art Ex h i b its ; Decor 01 Cole D' Amour Provides 3-Man Show: Williams, Pethick, Yoblonski Romantic Parisian Atmosphere by Grace Jones From February 17 through March I, Jan Pethick, Bill Williams, and Len Y oblonski will give a three-man art show. The idea of such a show is an entirely new concept for the . art department, and its advantages ·are staggering. These three seniors, ai!d those to follow, ordinarily would have to display their work of the last four years, their required exhibits, at the regular Art Fair at Conyngham Annex. This proposes two disadvantages for the senior art major: first, Conyngham Annex is simply too small for such a large exhibit. The second disadvantage , which is a by-product of the first, comes to light when the Seniors' meticulously prepared works are hung as mobiles, propped against windows, or perhaps, were they lucky , hung on an important " in-the-way" door at the Annex. The new idea of separate, three man shows takes the Seniors' exhibit from Conyngham Annex to a newly renovated building behind W eckesser Hall. With more space, the artists are able to hang their work at advantageous points which will complement rather than detract from it. The public will now be able to examine more carefully than before the products of four years' concentration and study. The aspiring artist who feverishly prepares for this most important exhibit in four years is assured none of his work will be overlooked and all of it will be appreciated.

Seniors Excel On Low Boards; On Hansen School Leader With 757 by John Lore Results of the Law School Admissions Test, taken by ten Wilkes College seniors in November, 1963, show that the group did exceptionally well and had an overall average of 552, according to Dr. Hugo Mailey, head of the Political Science Department and Law School Advisor. James Hansen's score of 757 was the highest mark attained by a Wilkes student this year, placing him among the top one-half percent of all students taking the test in 1963. An indication of how high the overall average is can be obtained from the following statistics. The national mean for 122,342 students who took the Law Boards between 1954 and 1962 was 484. During the same period of time, the average of the Wilkes students who took the Boards was 469. These facts illustrate that this year's group did considerably better than the College 's eight-year average. The seniors who took the Admissions Test are: Richard Burns, Walter Dexter, Alan Doner, Jeff Gallet, Malcolm Gropper, and James Hansen. Others are Leonard Koerner, Alan Krieger, Michael Landesman , and Jeff Raschal. According to Rachel Phillips, G eneral Chairman of the affair , the Parisian setting will contribute to the gala, romantic atmosphere of the soiree. The D 'Amo!Jt will have a replica of the E iffel Tower depicted against a sky of shaded blue for the background . Assimilated clouds will enhance the mag ical effect of a night in Paris.

Perhaps the most effective ones don't receive front page attention. One such political group is the National Student Association which because of its continual leftish leanings is being abandoned by many schools of national prominence. ETSU is not a member of NSA but holds membership in the Southern University Student Government A ssociation. Although not a member, it may be well for State students to know some of the radical proposals this organization has made. These resolutions include: 1. · Defense of Japanese student rioting against former President Eisenhower. ' 2. Praise for Fidel Castro's educational "reforms" - and earlier condemnation of the Batista Government for suppression of "academic freedom ." 3. Recommendations that the House Un-American Activities Committee be abolished. 4. Opposition to loyalty oaths for students receiving fed eral loans. 5. Criticism of U . S . and such anti-Communist allies as Spain and Portugal. 6. Calls for repeal of the McCarran-Walter Act, which regulates Red activities in the U . S . 7. Protests against the firing of Communist teachers. 8. Denunciation of U. S . measures to achieve nuclear superiority. 9. Condemnation of the involvement of the U . S. government in the Cuban refugee invasion of April, 1961. 10. Condemnation of the resumption of nuclear testing ( 1962, prior to the test ban treaty) . Virginia Military Institute which recently dropped from the rolls of NSA reported in the school paper that NSA .... . desires the slow move to the socialistic status for the United States, complete political recognitfon of Cuba, admission of Red China to the UN , and other equ~lly radical measures . .. " This is the group which supposedly represents the students of America. Recently in regard to the number of schools renouncing NSA, the group changed the wording of its constitution to " a" instead of "the" national student organization. These thoughts are intended to inform, not to create meaningless controversy on a campus relatively free from political turmoil. Students are being used for ulterior motives in a great many areas and many former NSA schools are aware of this . STOMP 1 D ear Editor: It seems to me that Jeff Gallet is a man with a one-track mind. Week after week he criticizes the conservative philosophy and Senator Barry Goldwater. H e is entitled to his opinion, but apparently he seems only to understand what he wants to understand. !wonder if Mr. Gallet even knows what he is talking about which seems very unlikely. f;:lis articles ( "'The Risk of Barry Gdldwater"' and " Brave N ew World"' ) have been an insult to the ideals and values which millions of Americans cherish. H e so explicitly claims it requires no thought for the individual to become a conservative. It requires more thought than he thinks. To become a conservative requires a person to examine his conscience and decide whether to co-exist with Communism or become violently opposed to it. We cannot let the Communist world impair our welfare by slowly conforming small nations all over the globe. This cannot be said for liberals It's so cold in our dormitory that they put anti-freeze in all the showers. who are unwilling to face the fact that the sole aim of Communism is to enslave the world. We must not wait until it is too late; we must stop this menace before it spreads more. This is the main point of the conservatives.

LET'S DO IT DEMOC:RATIC:ALLY Massachusetts has its Kennedys, Texas has its Johnsons, and N ew York has its Rockerfellers; however, only Arizona has Barry Goldwater. Senator Barry Goldwater is now the hottest contender for the G .O .P . presidential nomination, and we Goldwater people aim to get our man in the White House. We believe in Mr. Goldwater because we feel, as he does , that great changes are needed in our government if America is to survive as a free nation. Foreign Policy Critized Vastly criticized is our present foreign policy regarding the U .S.S .R . Why is it that the Soviet Union always seems to call the plays while the United States struggles with the problem of peaceful co-existence? Senator Goldwater proposes wi thdrawal of recognition of the Soviet Union as a solution. However, it must be understood that withdrawal of recognition does not mean that we refuse to parley with the enemy - it does not mean that we refuse to negotiate with them, to discuss matters of mutual concern by exchanging communications directly or through an intermediary. Doesn 't it stand to reason not to maintain diplomatic relations with an imperial world power that has the expressed determination to "'bury us?" We do not recognize Red China or R ed Cuba ; why should we recognize Russia? Peace - Preserving Agency The belief that the United Nations is an agent devoted to preserving the peace is a little hazy when we consider the large Communist membership which prohibits that. Mr. Goldwater sees the U .N . as a peace-making agency only "'after its membership is composed of nations genuinely interested in mutual respect and toleration "' - and we hardly think Rus~ia is one of th ese nations. We cannot see lasting peace until v ictory over Communism is achieved. Let us look at Senator Goldwater·s views on civil rights. Mr. Goldwater believes in integration, but as a states rights advocate he is not prepared to impose his judgment on the states by telling them what methods they should employ in striving toward that goal. This is a power of which a state should not be deprived. Fed. Govt. In Education Nowhere in the Constitution is there a clause designating th e field of education to the Federal Government. This is an exclusive right of the state. How then does our government justify the use of federal troops present in Southern states w hen integration is attempted in school? We believe with Senator Goldwater that this is a matter which should be settled by the states concerned, not by interference of the F ederal Government. Education is constitutionally an exclusive sta tes right that needs to be reaffirmed for many. Excl uding violence, we believe a s tate's effort to solve its internal struggle with civil rights ought to be supported rather than interfered with by the Federal Government; that is, unless the state so requests federal assistance. (Continued on Page J) �Friday, February 14, 1964 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON ARTISTIC ACHIEVEMENT • Two Interpretations p O S S I b I e Fo,r Bergman's "Wild Strawberries" by Mrs. Anne V . Kish Wild Strawberries, the Manuscript's film presentation on February 7, was another artistic achievement of the Swedish director, Ingmar Bergman, whose past efforts have been much touted but seldom understood. However, anyone attending this motion picture with the expectation of being hopelessly confused must ha ve been disappointed , for there is nothing obscure in either the action or the theme. To be sure there are the usual Bergman touches in the use of symbolism, in the Kafka-like dream sequences, and in the startlingly effective chiaroscuro photography, but these enhance rather than interfere with the action; thus the theme emerges quite clearly. The s tory is simple. It concerns the seventy-eight year old Doctor Borg, who, accompanied by his daughterin-law, is traveling to a distant university where he is to receive an honorary degree for his contribu tions to the study of medicine. Through: a combination of present experiences and dreams of the past, he comes to realize that his life has been ego-centered -and that however he might have benefited mankind , he was, in his god-like detachment and judgment, cruel to tHose who meant the most to him. There is none of the half-real half-dream atmosphere so often used in modern film s. We are not only always aware when the doctor is dreaming and when he is awake, but he even interprets his dreams for us . In the superbly filmed death dream, he sees his own featurel ess image collapse and disintegrate as its blood pours into the street; then his corpse tries to drag him into its coffin. Awake, he sees himself as lonely , empty, dead though alive. Doesn't Sacrifice Present The dream spurs his reminiscences during the journey, and memories combine with present incidents to form more dreams. It is in these dream sequences that Bergman's masterful direc ting is especially evident as he captures the peculiar reality of dreams, complete with symbols, conversa tions, and experiences both pleasant and painful. But even in the dreams we are kept aware of the presen t, for we see the doctor always old , witnessing a past in which he has played a most detached role , failing as a lover, a husband, · a father , and finally even as a doctor .

V11le1tti1te J 't)11~ /J-ttn tAe lle11ct1t ~t11// Other Interpretation Possible There is, of course, the possibility of an allegorical interpretation, but from this point of view the most reasonabl e course to follow is one which uses the characters to symbolize generations. In this way , the old doctor represents th e older generation which, so concerned with work and scientific accomplishment, has neglected to develop the human qualities of its children ( th e estranged couple and the hate-fill ed couple) , who emerge as robots or animals, sans hope, sans faith, sans love. The present generation, upon whom the future of any nation depends, is significantly leav ing the country. Reasonable as this interpreta tion may seem, the theme which concerns the human heart seems much more important when it is applied to a human being rather than to the state. OUR BOY BARRY (Continued from Meet Gerald Bou'rland Page 31 Goldwater's Stand Senator Goldwater's stand on th e civil rights issue will undoubtedly throw support behind him. But this is not the Senator's main object. His vi ews are unquestionably correct and constitutionally backed. How ever, gaining Southern support certainly won't injure chances of winning the Republican nomination. The United States is basically a conservative country . Thus there is a good possibility of a conservative victory within the ranks of the G .O .P. The radicals and liberals have had their chance with littl e success. It is tim e w e return to conservative pri nciples if we wish to preserve in dividual li berty and overcome any obstacle which attempts to stunt th e growth of individual freedom. •••••••••••••••••••••••• Chuck Robbins Sporting Goods Ready to Serve You Street ancial help; and must possess a D emocratic family background.

He has forgotten that the first law of a doctor is "to ask forgiveness," and he pronounces as dead a woman who is really alive. After this selfrealization, there is an optimistic note as he determines to become a more human human being and moves into th e tranquillity of old age. In the world of reality there are the passengers whom the doctor has picked up - a middle-aged couple whose vituperous dialogue might have been the model for that in Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, and three wild but lovable teenage rs whose boldness and lack of inhibition is both shocking and refreshing. These characters later appear in his dreams , which reveal in his memory of a child hood sweetheart picking wild strawberries, his fai lu re as a lover. He refu sed to partake of life and so lost her. H e fails as a husband , for he remains above his more humanly in volved w ife - as she put it, "like God ," understanding but aloof.

Last Saturday, the Colonels brought their season log to 5-1 by downing Millersville 19-9. In winning, the Wilkes team avenged last season's 1413 upset by the Marauders.

A mild surprise was issued by the men from Butler as they turned the tables on last yea r's dorm champions, Barre Hall.

In the three mi nute overtime period Barre's Jim Dunn took cha rge, and his team spurted to a four point bul ge, bu t T ravis-Bey of Bu tler, playing the role o f eq ualizer, sparked an offensive fl urry, and Butler again tied the game with one minute left to play . In the closing seconds Kruczek rimmed one of his patented one- handers to give the decision to Bu tler. In their other contest last week Bu tler rode roug hshod over Miner 62-47 as Kruczek hi t this time for 23. Russo and Katz sparkled for the losers.

Because of the res trictions of the Incentive Licensing Bill , the Radio Club known on th e air as K3NOM, has taken a definite stand against the proposals of th e American Radio Re- lay League . Wishtart expresses th e collective opinion of th e club members by stating that "amateur radio is a hobby : the American Radio Relay League is trying to make it strictly for th e elite!'· Harvey Wishtart, president of the club ex plained that this bill would rest;ict voice work on low " bands," or frequ encies. Th e bill also provides that ham operators would be subject to a re -examination and would have to qualify for an advanced class. In ad-- dition to the test being made much more strict and up -to-date, it would necessi ta te a trip to Philadelphia , • which is the nearest examination center. Vlishtart maintains that the ex- :, pense and th e inconvenience would discourag e most ham operators. At 7:30 th e dance , featuring th e Rhythm Aces, began.

The Beacon staff The million dollar Graduate and Research Center of the College was recently enhanced by the installation of an air liquifier. The procurement of this apparatus was made possible by a Morris Foundation grant of $10,000 which had been earmarked for thi s particular piece of equ ipment. Joseph Ritts , plant manager of American Cha in and C able Company, presented the C ollege with a check for the apparatus on behalf of the Foundation. The air liquifier will be used to make objects cold for studies in low temperature. The machine operates by drawing air from the atmosphere and liquifying it to minus 300 degrees Fahrenheit. It can transform the atmosphere into two gall ons o f liquid air per hour. The addition of the air liquifier to the Graduate and Research C enter is the latest of many advancements made by the College. �Friday, February 7, 196'4 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 LETTERS TD EDITOR Editorial WHY DON'T THEY ONE SPORT EMPHASIZED BELIEVE ME? To the Editor: A recent Lettermen's Club meeting pointed out once again the added emphasis that is placed on one sport at Wilkes. The group which normally seems to receive the major allotment of the athletic appropriations - the best of equipment and the fringe benefits at the gym - began their push in the cafet eria and carried it to the meeting in Butler Hall. I enjoy w restling, but I also enjoy basketball, football, and soccer. Is it not possible that they too be pushed for a change? DISGRUNTLED After five months of dealing with our fellow students, the Beacon staff has come to a quite reassuring conclusion- Wilkes students will never be taken in by propoganda or high pressure salesmanship or any such evils that we understand are rampant in our age. We have none of that "gullible type" here. No, indeed, for, in putting out 14 issues of the Beacon, we have encountered everywhere a questioning attitude. Again and again, our bright*eyed, idealistic "This is your paper; we're open to all suggestions and contributions" has been met by cynical questioning looks of "Sure you are." ---- STUDENT HAS PROBLEM The only ray of light in this otherwise gloomy picture is the occasional instance when a hestitant student has come fur* tively up to our office clutching a neatly typed letter to the editor and mumbling awkwardly "Just dashed this off in my spare time. Thought you might be able to use it - if you have the room." As we desperately grab at his receding figure darting quick* ly off and welcome him and his article enthusiastically, we see the recognition dawn in his unbelieving face _, he really is welcome. But this happens seldom. And it's a good thing. "I don'!, care what your excuse is. If you're not in your seat, I'm marking We are thankful that the student body doesn't believe us you absent. when we tell them that we welcome columns, feature articles, reviews, suggestions; that we want them to "fight out" the burning issues on campus in our pages; that we want all areas of campus represented. THE BALLOT BOX For people who would believe absurdities like this might also believe that world peace is necessary for survival or some other such ridiculous thing. We salute the incredulity of our readers.

Brave New World? by Jeff Gallet Like the proverbial Pied Piper. current time Conservatives and Objectivists are leading a large part of our youth down the wrong path. The fallacy of the Conservative and Objectivist philosophy can be best summed up by looking at Ayn Rand 's For the New Intellectual. Miss Rand divides all people into three types: the producer, and two inferior types, the Man of Force and the Man of Feelings. The idea of removing feelings from our lives is a key factor in her philosophy. By removing feelings, she also may logically remove altruism and in its place substitute egoism. This egoism is particularly attractive to a college student who feels superior to th e world and is in a big hurry to reach the top . As Objectivism is the philosophical background, Conservatism is the political tool. The aims of the Conservatives, such as laissez-fairism, antiwelfarism, and general favoritism toward the business and moneyed classes, are the practical means to Miss Rand's possessive ends. The Objectivists and the Conservatives both believe that society should be ruled by the "superior" group in society - business. This type of philosophy appeals to businessmen for obvious reasons. But why has it suddenly acquired a large following among young people? The reason is simple; it allows a young person, anxious to shirk his duty to society, a philosophic and pragmatic way of doing so. .Objectivism - Conservatism is a simple philosophy, full of back and white alternatives and set rules. It requires little or no thought for the individual. Plato said that men must learn to adjust to society, even if the adjustment might sometimes hold the more talented people from reaching their zenith, for this is the price one must pay for civilization. Conversely, if one keeps people from reaching their potential heights, we keep others from reaching their potential depths and the society is the better for it. To say that welfare and a mixed economy are basically wrong is archaic. To assume that society has no duty to its less productive members is to hide from the economic and moral facts of our times. To say that society should have no control over its means of production is ridiculous. But the Piper pipes on and the masses blindly follow. Heard ■ ■ ■ from the Herd Xavier College, The Xavier News - The student body of Xavier College recently voted against a proposed address by Mississippi Governor Ross Barnett because of his opposition to racial integration. His position on segregation, the newspaper stated, " contradicts the Christian and American ideals and is, we feel, basically immoral. " Penn State University . The Daily "The sorority women's fall term academic average topped the fraternity and non-sorority women 's averages. The all-sorority average was 2.785, as compared with the allfraternity average of 2.382. The allUniversity women 's average was 2.656, and the non-sorority women's. 2.611." Collegian - Feb. 27 . 28, and 29. " Juniata College, The Juniatian . . . we have been currently trying to figure what Juniata students are reading for entertainment and thereby have some basis for decision on what to order. As it has turned out we have a fairly open fi eld of choice, since some science majors don't have time to read anything, most everyone else is reading next to nothing, and the handful of English majors on campus are either drowning their sorrows in Pooh, S. J. Perleman. and John Updike or furtively poring through NYU catalogues. The old 'pornographic' classics such as Lady Chatterly's Lover and Tropic of Cancer are still going strong among both depraved and deprived students, and many are currently jotting page references on th e back covers of Harris' My Life and Loves and Cleland's Dear Editor: Students living at home who drive to campus have a problem in common, namely, where to park. Arriving on campus at 6 A .M. presents no parking problem to the commuting student. Arrival at a reasonable hour makes it impossible. The attendant stands in front of the entrance of Parrish Hall and waves one away if he arrives at any time after 7:35 A.M .. forcing the rejected driver to continue his search for a parking space. The next stop is the "Sardine Can ," better known as Gies lot. Here the cars are parked haphazardly in the lot three and four deep. Trying to get a car out of this lot is like working a jig-saw puzzle. Parking in the lot endangers the car. For example, one, in entering or exiting, often has a tail pipe broken on the high curbs that surround the lot. Rental of additional parking space by the college might help alleviate the problem on campus. Another alternative might be for the administration to sell just as many stickers as there are parking spaces. Of course, this leaves a great many students' without a place to put their cars. I am sure that the administration if it would give some thought to the problem - would be able to reach some firm conclusion on the subject. A REJECTED COMMUTER KIWANIS APPRECIATION D ear Sir: Inasmuch as Wilkes College aided the Kiwanis Club of Wilkes-Barre to get started in this wheelchair project, we thought you might be interested to know that we spent $14,642.00 during the year 1963. The profit we made on the play "The Music Man" is, of course, part of this expenditure. We deeply appreciate the cooperation we always receive from the student body at Wilkes, and to you and the faculty we owe a deep debt of gratitude. Very truly yours, Warren E. Myers, Presiden t Wilkes-Barre Kiwanis Wheel Chair Club, Inc. in the latter of which many are disappointed to find a liberal sprinkling of literary value. Perhaps a more healthy attitude can be seen by the fact that a delightfully clinical sextext en titled Modern Sex Technique is outselling Golding on at least one major campus, and another, The Marriage Act, (don't worry, it's safe published by Dell) is even making a few sparse appearances on our own. " Bloomsburg State C ollege, Maroon and Gold - "The Bloomsburg Players will present Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard on F ebruary 13 and 14 in Carver Hall.

Committees for the affair, which is scheduled to be held at the gym on Friday, February 14:, are presently formulating the final arrangements. This year the Valentine Semi-Formal will have a Parisian motif. The centerpiece will consist of the Eiffel Tower in the midst of a blue Paris sky. The gym will be transformed into the Cafe d'A.mour. Herbie Green and his orchestra will provide the music for an evening of dancing and merriment. Town and Gown Series To Feature Sonatas by Pauline Bostjancic For his second performance in the Town and Gown Series of 1963-64, Mr. Martin Friedmann will join forces with Mr. Kurt Saffir to present a Sonata Recital. The program will begin at 3:30 p.m . on Sunday _ February 9, in the College gymnasium. Mr. Friedmann, violinist, is a mem ber of the Wilkes College Music Faculty and Mr. Saffir, pianist, is associated w ith the City Center Opera Company of New York City. But this is not the first time that the two musicians will combine their talents. They gave a joint recital here in 1961 and have performed often since their student days at Juilliard School of Music in New York. Included in the program will be the Sonata No. 3 by J.S . Bach, Sonata No. 8 in G Major by Beethoven and the Brahms Sonata No. 3 in D Minor. The public is invited to attend the recital free of charge. The final program in the Town and Gown series will be held on Sunday, March 22, and will feature Mr. Richard Chapline, baritone. At intermission a Valentine Queen will be selected to reign over the remainder of the evening's activities. Any member of TOR is eligible to enter her name as a contestant. Anyone who would like to have a remembrance of the affair can have pictures taken at the gym. The background will be that of a Parisian cafe, complete with wine bottle, candle, and romantic atmosphere. Rachel Phillips, vice-president of TOR, is General Chairman of the dance. Among the other committees are the following: tickets, Jane Sokola; programs, Grace Adams; ceiling, Claire Draper and Charlotte Levanoskie; tables, Lois Kutish and Paula Mesaris; backdrop, Nancy Czubek; wall decorations, Roberta Skurk.is; invitations, Sally Schoffstall and Judy Valunas; refreshments, Joanne Dragonchuk and Julie Palega; favors Suzanne Bellone; gifts, Andrea Petrasek; arrangements . Sharon Sislian and Carol Saidman ; centerpiece, Fran Co race and Anne Masley; publicity , Andrea Petrasek and Marianne Evancho; intermission, Rosemary Hagel, TOR president. Tickets, which will soon be on sale, are $3.00 per couple. Contrary to several current rumors, everyone is invited, not just TOR members and their dates. Named Miss December Although there are generally many persons on college campuses interested in the Peace Corps, they have been handicapped in the past by the fact that placement tests were given at inconvenient times, and often at locations which presented a transportation problem. This month marks the first time since the inception of the Peace Corps that tests will be given on individual college campuses throughout the country. The test on our campus will be given on Saturday, February 22, in Stark Hall 109. beginning at 9 a .m. Before anyone becomes discouraged at the thought of a test , a few words of explanation would be in order at this time. The tests which will be given are placement tests and are noncompetitive. The basic test consists of two parts; General Aptitude, and Modern Language Aptitude, with the entire test lasting only one hour. If an applicant so desires, he may take an optional test in either Spanish or French, which is also one hour in length. Incidentally_ even if you are not currently interested in joining the Peace Corps, you may take the test without placing yourself under any obligation. In the event that you should need the results of this test in the future , a record will be maintained for you for this purpose. At the present time, four alumni from the College are serving in the Peace Corps, and three currently enrolled students have been accepted for Peace Corps work following graduation.

The party is free . Margie Harris Covers Capital Subiect Last Tuesday at 8:00 p.m., Chapman Hall was the scene of Margi Harris ' talk on the problem of " home rule" in Washington. In addressing the Forum Miss Harris stated that the probleiii was the lack of home rule in the nation's capital. According to the Constitution, Congress has exclusive power over all territories. Of course, the writers of the Constitution never knew that the nation's capital itself might someday be a territory . As a result, Washington, D. C. has no representation at all. However, in 1871 . Washington did have a mayor for a short time. He was handicapped by a $4 million debt and an order to closely follow the budget allocated by the federal government. In a short time , the debt had risen to $20 million dollars and home rul e was removed. Gives Reasons Miss Harris stated that two of the major rea sons for this situation were, first , that the city of Washington cannot tax the federal government as other cities can do with their industries, and , second . the federal government owns the land on which the citizens pay taxes. Miss Harris further mentioned that certain groups in Washington have a fear of home rule because of the rising Negro population. Settlement of the civil rights dispute is vital to the city . Many people in the past have had the tendency to regard Washing ton as a " temporary city," since the population chang es every six years. However, there are now many permanent residents in Washington who are in no way connected with the federal ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• government in their occupations. Denied Rights Miss Harris explained that residents of Washing ton are denied many of th e rights which other citizens enjoy.

With three meets remaining , the worst that could happen is a .500 year. and that seems highly unlikely. After dropping a meet to undefeated E. Stroudsburg State College, Wilkes brought its log to 4- 1 by soundly defeating Moravian College last weekend. ,, · The Greyhounds started in the hole when they were forced to give up two forfeits in the 123 and 147 pound brackets. After Ned McGinley was declared the winner in the 123 pound division, Brooke Yeager, who was runner-up in the "" Rose Bowl of Wrestling," shutout Dave Wilson of Moravian 11-0. The Yeager-Wilson match was only one of two contests to go the full nine minutes. In the 137 pound class, Tim Adams was involved in the most exciting match of the evening for the Wilkes fans . Trailing through most of the match Adams reversed Tom D ickerson to make the score 10-5 and then clamped Dickerson with a cross- body ride to gain a fall with only 12 seconds remaining. Bob Weston, wrestling up a weight at 157, followed Adams" lead and pinned his heavier opponent in 6:19. In the 167 -pounds class, Dave Hall gave up a first period takedown and then added five more points to the Wilkes score by gaining a fall over Steve Rayda . Moravian's only victory came in the I 77-pound bracket. John Gardner moved up to that weight and was on his way to a win when his heavier opponent managed to work out of a cross-body ride and subdue the Colonel captain. Bill Tinney ·then proceeded to decision Bill Henderson 6-2, which brought the final total to 31 - 5. Adams triggered an explosion of leg rides which highlighted the evening's wrestling. Wilkes takes on Millersville tomorrow night at 8 in the second meet of a three-week home stand for the Colonels.

In a meet against Harpur, he was on the 400 yd. relay team that set an unofficial school record . The secret of his swimming skill is a strong flutter kick and smooth arm stroke. This, combined with his physical endurances. is the winning com- bination he uses to defeat his opponents. Harry has great confidence in his team and praises the coaching ability of Ken Young. Harry states that it is a team effort that wins the meets and he is proud to be on the team.

In reference to this same subject, he was asked about Senator Margaret Chase Smith's potential as a presidential candidate and replied that she was remarkably able and a good speaker and that he hoped she would follow through with her intention to run - if it is her intention Continuing along national lines, the reporters queried the Governor on the Panamanian situation. In his answer, Scranton, although stressing that he was not well versed in the background of the problem because of his recent busy schedule, commented that he concurred with the action taken by the President. His reason was that we must preserve our rights in the Canal Zone. When queried about the proposed sale of wheat to the Russians, Scranton saw no reason why we should not get rid of our surplus as long as it does not endanger our security but he definitely feels that the power of interpretation of this bill should be put into the hands of the President rather than the legislative body. Turning to state issues, Governor Scranton explained his position on the proposal to change the unemployment compensation laws. The changes supported by the Governor would reduce the amount of benefits to certain workers, as well as the length of the period during which benefits would be paid. i;It gave two major reasons for the necessity of this action. First, he noted that in some cases the Pennsylvania rate of employer contributions is the highest in the nation. He felt WILKES COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PENNA. that this high rate was an important stumbling block to the state's acquisition of new industries. Secondly, and more important, he reminded us that the state had borrowed heavily from the federal government during the previous eight years and that the already dangerously low reserve fund would not be able to repay this debt. In response to a question on federal and state aid to education the Governor replied that he was happy to see an increase in such aid, but that he thought more was necessary, particularly on the high school and college levels. The interview was concluded at this point so that the Governor could resume his busy schedule. Wednesday, January 15, 1964 rirsl Lady Con1mends NelV Research Center; Graham Discusses Area Redevelopn1enl by Lois Petroski and Alis Pucilowski The convocation and dedication of the research center highlighted by the appearance of Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson, began at approximately 2:40 p.m. when the Academic Procession entered the gymnasium. As Dr.' Eugene S. Farley escorted Mrs. Johnson to the stage, she received a standing ovation. The Reverend Jule Ayers then proceeded to deliver the Invocation. Congressman Daniel Flood was introduced by Dr. Farley to an ov erflow aud ience of approximately two-thousand people. The Congressman opened his speech with th e remark that "there was a time wh en the possibility of having two democrats on the same stage was almost unthinkable." The day's circumstances made th e Honorable Mr. Flood quite happy. Congressman Flood introduced Dr. Frank P. Graham , U . N. Representative to India and Pakistan, and chairman of the Area Redevelopment Administration. Dr. Graham congratulated Dr. Farley as "a dynamic leader in the renaissance of the anthracite region. The speech delivered by Dr. Graham was entitled "Regional Rede velopment as a National and International Challenge in Our World of Peril and Hope." It included a survey and discussion of the ten main regions within the sovereignty of the United States. Dr. Graham remarked that "Basic and general education are needed to equip youth, and the people, to develop victorious personalities, civic understanding, social and spiritual ins ights as citizens and spiritual beings." He proc ee ded with the explanation of the new needs of vocational education which , he said, must now be oriented to include "industrial. commercial. technical. civic and social skills to meet the needs of a growing society."

Scranton, Busby Optimistic About Valley by Joe Klaips and Charlotte Wetzel At Friday evening 's convocation ex ercises, Governor William Scranton and Mr. Jack Busby , president of P ennsylvania Power and Light Co. , discussed th e topic of "Regional Dev elopment." Mr. Busby, first speaker for the evening , began with congratulatory remarks directed to Dr. Eugene S. Farley for the fin e work he has done in helping th e dream of a graduate research center become a reality . In his ~peech on "Industry and Regional D evelopment" , Mr. Busby pointed out that there is general agreement that th e area should s trive to revitalize its economy through the expansion of diversified industry. Busby stated . that, although the community is apt to view its situation as grave. it should realize that its economic position has recently been improving. "As we view the recent past, we can properly take great encouragement from the fine progress that has been made. The region as a whole has broken away from that grim pattern in which, year after year, the record has shown decrease after decrease in employment." Although , as Busby pointed out, th ere has been an increase in employment, more rapid gains in employment are being sought. As a solution to this problem Busby pointed out live underlying questions that would be involved: "Do we meet the basic requirements for industrial growth? What are our local environmental nee ds? What kind of industry are we after? What is our top priority need in the region? What must we mainly rely on in rebuilding our regional economy?" In elaborating upon these points, Mr. Busby said , "The disappointments in industrial and regional development are those that come about wh en a region , or a community, under-values its own worth and commits its limited resources, perhaps all of the resources available for a considerable period of time, to a marginal undertaking. All too often, having risked everything on a poor gamble, the community and its citizens lose all then invested or, at best, gain only marginal benefits." Busby had the following to say about the College Research Center: "Communities and regions that build quality into their structure, as typified by thi s Science Center, can attract and can hold out for industries of good quality which have sound prospects for future Qrowth." Busby closed by revealing some of the future plans of PP&L, including th e investment of $500 million in ma chinery and equipment to replace old facilities over th e 10 ·year period from l 964 to 1973. Governor Scranton, prior to delivering his address, presented a signed agreement to Dr. Farley for a $15,000 research project in the anthracite mine drainage field. This agreement between the State and the Research Center brings the total research contracts to between $150,000 and $200,000. Selecting "Regional DevelopmentA State Challenge" as his topic, Governor Scranton continued Mr. Busby's trend of optimism . "It is common to refer to our region as ·a depressed area.' Certainly we have our economic problems , but in matters of the spirit we are not depressed." Quite to the contrary, "the economic challenges of the past decades have renewed our faith and our conviction that the coal region is a good place in which to live." Regional strength, Scranton point~d out, is the bas is upon which to solve development problems. "As you !fee, the idea of regional development js to me a most exciting one. If there were a single unifying cord to the activities which we as people are waging to achieve a better future , I would say that regional development might provide such a unity. It is involved with all our problems, and all our problems are involved with it." In closing, Governor Scranton saluted those persons responsible for the establishment of the Research Center, and assured the college it would be more steps, such as this one taken on the campus, that would lead the drive for regional development in Pennsylvania. Shapp, Carpenter E1-nphasize Education by Carolyn Kaplan and Barbara Simms Doctor Eugene Farley was host to th e approximately 280 people who attended the "special invitation" luncheon held at the Commons on Saturday. Speeches by Mr. Donald F . Carpenter, retired manager, Films Departmept, E . I. Dupont and Company, and Mr. Milton J. Shapp highlighted th e affair. They spoke on the afternoon's theme, "Education, Research, and Economic Development." Mr. Shapp stressed that education and educational institutions play an ever-increasing role in today's econ-· omy. He feels that we must invest our energies in developing the human mind and its potential. Shapp pointed out that only five out of one hundred •jobs are open to the unskilled. Therefore, the com- munity needs educated, skilled, employable people. Industry, he stressed, looks for a trained labor force when selecting a site for a new plant. That is why this new center is so important. In conclusion, Mr. Shapp stated that education has a tremendous impact on the economic development of any part of the United States. Mr. Carpenter expanded on the subject of research and industrial development as related to Wyoming Valley. He stated that research is important, "but of greater importance are the men and women who have done this research. They have learned by doing, . . . they have been important factors in revitalizing old industries as well as creating new ones." He feels that it is significant that Wilkes College developed at a time when the need and desire for higher learning was growing, and that the College, especially with its new grad uate and research center, will provide extensive training and the specialized facilities that are needed, as well as leadership in development. Carpenter conduded with the statement: " Gentlemen, you have the need, you have the people, you have the leadership, and now you have the facilities to meet that need. I congratulate you ." �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Wednesday, January 15, 1964 EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW EDITORIALS LEST WE Dr. Graham Stresses Education, Cooperation FORGET by Marshall Evans Although we have been honored during the past weekend by visits from many dignitaries , both on the regional and national level, we must be careful not to overlook the reason for their visits or the true significance of the weekend's events. We are referring, of course, to the fact that w e were honored by the presence of many guests because of our dedication of the Graduate Research Center. Not only should we realize that the center will attract new industry to this area, but also we should be aware of the fact that the establishment of this research center is another step forward in our free educational system. In a n after-dinner discussion with D ean George Ral ston, Th e Rev. Dr. Jul e Ayers , and Dr. Samuel Rosenberg, Dr. Frank Graham revealed many of his views on both local and national matters. A most fascinating person, Dr. Graham did not dodge any questions , and always gave straightforward answers. He is liberal-minded, believing that every individual has the right to express his own opinion and to be heard. Commenting on the Area Red evelopment Administration, Dr. Graham had many words of praise for Congressman Daniel Flood, particularly for his long and difficult efforts in bringing about thi s Administration under the " Flood-Douglas Bill. " In his s peech Satu rday afternoon, Dr. Graham stated: Th e A . R . A. . . . seeks and hopes, wisely, in response to community initiative, to provide .. . cooperative guidance. Stating six needs common to depress ed areas, he continued: For a ll these , cooperation between local, state, and federal governments is indispensable for full realization of the potentialiti es of the region . prise the public, and local, state, and federal governmen ts to realize a goal w hich shall benefit all - cooperation as witnessed by the expanded science fa cilities a nd the graduate and research center of the C ollege, dedicated this past weekend. Of these needs, th e first is "more and better general education." He also made seve ral comments in his speech concerning the important valu e of "libraries as well as research centers," for an area and state to better itself. It was, perhaps, most appropriate that in last Thursday's When asked about the possibility cssembly, Attorney Charles Casper based his address upon the of the Federal Government creating very idea of freedom of thought and expression, and free eduan agency, similar to the A.R .A. , to cation for all.

He continued to say that this plan does not have unqualwithout a great deal of hard work. There were times when it ified su pport from the South because was felt that the realization of such a dream was beyond all of th e F ederal insistence on integrahope. Nevertheless, as Mr. Casper pointed out from the lives ti on where aid is given. of Beethoven, Milton, and Zenger, these men did not lose hope After the integration issue has been in spite of mounting odds; this same example might be applied solved - not overnight - most areas to those persons involved in this project who did not yield bewill support such legislation and th ese cause they had the courage to stand up for what they felt was programs will come into existence.

J. J. K. In an exclusive interview with the Mr. Shapp is well-known as a lec- Shapp Picks Shriver V. P. Nominee; A m e n d m e n t s Retard Constitution T H A N K S • • Beacon Mr. Milton J. Shapp, considered the leading candidate for the D emocratic nomination for United st ates Senator from P ennsylvania, predicted · that R. Sargent Shriver, brother-in-law of th e late President Kennedy would be the running -mate of Preside nt Johnson in the upcoming presidential election. In appraising his own chances for the Senate, Shapp said that of the .five or six candidates being lmentioned for the nomination, he thought Miss Genevieve Blatt would be the one to give him the most opposition. He dedared that if it were necessary he would enter a state-wide primary fight to gain the nomination. Turning to state issues, Shapp, who was the sparkplug of the movement to call a constitutional convention , ter med the proposed amendments to modernize the state constitution "a step backward." He feels that it will take at least eight to ten years for the legislature to act upon the subject of a convention. Shapp said that the new Wilkes C o 11 ege R esearc h C enter is t h e b eginning of a new era for this area. In the past, he pointed out, the area has attracted only low-wage industries such as clothing and shoe manufacturing. The new center will attract highwage industries such as chemical and electronics plants. • When we conceived the idea of this special edition we were warned to expect a rough time in "getting our stories" in the melee of the weekend's activities. When the convocation and dedication assumed national proportions,. so did the press coverage. As "insignificant college kids" we were prepared to b e pus he d asi de in f avor o f important visitors. But to our pleasant surprise just the opposite happened: Mr . James B. Post, County Commissione11, Mr. Joeph Salsburg , Beacon advisor and Mr. Jack Conmy, Governor Scranton's Public Relations man, combined their efforts to arrange for an exclusive Beacon press conference afte'r the public conference Friday and the Governor not only kindly agreed but even skipped dessert to prolong the session. The Honorable Daniel J. Flood and the local newspapers opened their files to us for background on Mrs. Johnson and the other distinguished guests. turer, author, and businessman. He is a consultant to the D epartment of Commerce , Area President of the American Jewish Congress and a special consultant to-the P eace Corps. In 1950 he instituted the Shapp Scholarship Fund. On the subject of politics and the Republican party 's Presidential Nominee for I 964, Dr. Graham had the following statements to make: "A contest between Senator Barry Goldwa ter and Presid ent Johnson would be healthy for the country, giving the voters a clea r-cut choice between a most definite Conservative and a Moderate-Liberal. " However, he added: I do not think it will happen. He said , "Governor Rockefeller has a wonderful program, and would be the candidate if it were not for his marital problems." Scranton! H e stated that Governor Scranton and former Vice-President Nixon were very formidable candidates for the nominations, and he hinted it would be narrowed down to these two men. He does not discount Governor Romney, but fe els he has been hurt beca use he has not been able to establish his full economic prog rams. H e also agreed that Gov. Hatfield of Oregon will probably be the Vice-Presid en tial nominee. Dr. Graham also gave some most informative and interesting views on th e integration issue. He commented on his first experience wi th the integration problem twenty-five years ago in North Carolina . In th e next issue of the Beacon, there will be an entire article devoted to this subject. Batt Instrumental Mrs. Johnson's In Visit "Mrs. Johnson is delighted to accept your kind invitation to attend the Convocation on Saturday. She looks forward to meeting you and the members of the student body and to seeing the new research center." Elizabeth Carpenter, press secretary to Mrs. Johnson. This was the telegram wired to Dr. Farley that brought the First Lad y to the campus and •made Wilkes College the focal point of nation-wide communications for several days . Behind the Scenes Of course , like all major news events, there is a story behind the scenes and this one centers on Bill Batt, form er Pennsy lvania Secretary of Commerce. During his tenure of office in Harrisbu rg , long before he moved to his present position with the Area Redevelopm en t Administration , Bill Batt was a friend of the College. H e not on ly recognized the importance of indu st rial development, but also realized that it must be accom pa ni ed by research facilities and advanced education. He saw the significance of a visit from Mrs. Johnson and propelled her in this direction ; hence her appearance at the Con vocation exercises. Mr. Milton J. Shapp took time out from a heavy schedule to grant an interview to Jeff Gallet, who was aided in contactmg him by Miss Nance Cordy, secretary to Dr. Farley. The reporters and photograp h er.s o f t h e C o Ium b ia Broa d casting System, United Press International, and Associate d Press allowed our reporters to act as guides, shared their information with us, went out of their way to help the staff in h d di f getting their stories.

" by Pauline Bostjancic, Bill Kanyuck, and Rich Kramer Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson arrived at the Wilkes-Barre-Scranton Airport at 10:05 Saturday morning accompanied by Congressman Daniel J. Flood and a group of White House reporters. The First Lady was met at the plane by Mrs. William Scranton and was o fficially welcomed to Northeastern P ennsylvania by Dr. and Mrs. Eugene Farley. Mrs. Johnson greeted members of thf, press and local officials, and was presented with a floral bouquet by Cathy DeAngelis on behalf of the students of the College, while the Wilkes band played the "Yellow Rose of Texas." After a great ovation from the assembled crowd, Dr. Farley formally introduced Mrs. Johnson, who expressed her gratification that the people of this region are actively solving their problem. The First Lady also stated that the Federal and State government should continue to work toqether on just such projects as the Wilkes Research and Graduate Center to give the people more help. Mrs. John son and her party departed from th e ai rport at 10: 15 and proceeded to the Scranton Courthouse where they were greeted by Mayor Schmidt; the First Lady was then presented with a key to the city of Scranton. At 11 a.m. Mrs. Johnson le ft Scranton and proceeded to WilkesRarre's Public Square where she addressed the crowd briefly . She then went on a tour of Goldsmith Mills, a tex tile plant aided by the Area Redevelopment Administration. The First Lady also toured the Wyoming Technical Institute where courses are offered in various technical fi elds. After Mrs. Johnson left the Institute, she proceeded to the home of Dr. and Mrs. Farley where she lunched privately and relaxed momentarily before the afternoon·s dedication exercises. Arrives at Farley's Arriving at the Farley residence , Mrs. Johnson was greeted by scores o f new smen and students. Before she entered the house, one BEACON reporter approached Mrs. Johnson and spoke with her. Asked if she planned The main topic of the meeting was the Governor·s thoughts about a possible Presidential nomination. When asked if his indecision in announcing his candidacy would hurt his chances, Governor Scranton said, "It doesn't bother me. I don"t want to be President." Later, when a possible Vice-Presidential spot was mentioned, the Governor remarked, "I don"t want to be a candidate for any national office." Despite these denials , Governor Scranton left the door open for a draft by stating that he was still considering President Eisenhower's request that he enter the race. C oncerning other Republican presidential aspirants Scranton said, "I wouldn 't discount anybody as a potential candidate." Turning to local topics, the Governor suggested a solution to the problem of the Laurel Run mine fire which he had inspected earlier in the day . The Governor added "At present only one home is endangered by carbon monoxide gas." Scranton observed that the extinguishing of the fire would not in itself solve the problem. A redevelopment program would have to be instituted to find new homes for residents whose present homes are in jeopardy . The fire can be controlled within 18 months to 2 years at an approximate cost of 3.5 million dollars, which can be covered by the Mine Drainage Fund, originally backed by Governor Scranton and Congressman Daniel J. Flood. In closing, the Governor said that he was "certainly thrilled about the Resea rch Center"' and emphasized that it would aid in creating new jobs ;,nd attracting new industry. First Lady and Dean Ahlborn at the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre airport. to make many trips of this type the First Lady replied, "At the moment I am not aware of any such invitations, but if asked I certainly would like to go." A second question concerned whether or not Mrs. Johnson had any information to aid the President in decisions. Her answer was, "I'm very interested in what I've seen here, and I plan to have a discussion with him when I return home." Then Mrs. Johnson entered the house. At 2:30 p.m., students again had an opportunity to see Mrs. Johnson when she met with them in Stark 116 and addressed them briefly. When Mrs. Johnson entered the room the assembled students and newsmen rose and applauded. When the applause subsided, Mrs. Johnson approached the lecturn and said: ··r hope you all are having as interesting a time in education here as I am having in my education this morning. I feel in my short stay here of five hours that I have seen a slice of American spirit . .. of how to take hold of a serious probl em and deal with its local impetus, ideas, and mon- President Declares War On Poverty Batt Has Long Career In Government Work by Ruth Partilla Escorting Mrs. Johnson to the airport after her visit to the College was William L. Batt, Jr., present Area Redevelopment Administration director and former State Secretary of Labor and Industry. During his administration, Batt supervised the collection of an unemploymen t trust fund for state workers through the Bureau of Employment Security, in addition to presiding over one of the world"s largest employment agencies. P ennsylvania "s Fair Employment Practice Commission and its Older Worker Program evolved largely as a result of his interest. Shortly after the 1960 presidential elec tion . Batt was chosen by the late President Kennedy to work with a committee planning a federal aid program for chronic unemployment areas. This was followed in 1961 by his appointment as administ rator of the Area Redevelopment Administration. This act set up a federal loan and grant program for the purpose of drawing industries into areas that have been deprived of their chief economic support. Before Batt was .appointed to state office by Governor Leader in 1957, he was .the executive secretary of the Industrial Development Council in Toledo, Ohio. He organized Toledo's first planned industrial district in a program that drew more than seven thousand new jobs to the area in three years. President Lyndon B. Johnson delivered his first State of the Union message last Wednesday before a joint session of Congress. The 42minute, 2,900-word address was the shortest presented by any President in 30 years. On the domestic side the Presi dent called for a tax reduction of $11 billion, for th e strongest civil rights bill in 100 years, and for an "all -out war on poverty." The President wants more area-development programs, work for jobless youth, and a National Service Corps, to work in this country as the Peace Corps does abroad. aiding the economically handicapped. The Federal government is going to put $1 billion on the line in a drive to help those afflicted by poverty. For the ten states from Alabama to Pennsylvania, this means direct Federal assistance to hard-hit areas. This "unconditional war"' on poverty was undoubtedly the reason behind Mrs. Johnson ·s trip to WilkesBarre and its environs. Governor Scranton Offers Word of Caution '"Let me raise one word of caution. The regional idea should ,not be used as a mask for vast and inefficient projects designed to enhance the power of a national · bureaucracy. The region should be identified with the State, which traditionally has been the object for regional loyalties in America." ey. I am proud and heartened with what I've seen, and thrilled to have seen th e new Science and Research Center, Thank You ." Then Mrs. Johnson, accompanied by Congressman Flood , Mrs. Mary Scranton, Mrs. Farley , and numerous newsmen , was taken on a tour of the new addition. During that time, the First Lady in an exclusive statement to the BEACON voiced a message to the students of Wilkes College. She said: "It is thrilling and heartening to be here. I am enjoying, to no end, seeing what the community can do in the handling of its problems." Speaks to Reporters From the time Mrs. Johnson left the new building until she entered her car on S. River St., two Beacon reporters walked along to converse with her. They first asked her what her reaction was to the building of this new sci ence center. She said, " It will be thrilling to see the jobs and type of people it turns out. Also, it means so much to this area in keeping the brains at home." Nation--wide Coverage For Mrs. L.B.J.; Forty P u b I i c a t i o n s Represented by Helen Dugan and Andrea Gallet (Channel 10) of Philadelphia, was also represented. Early Friday morning the press began the set up of its equipment for a busy weekend. The second floor of Stark Hall was the location of the wire-photo machine. All the photos sent over the machine went to New York first ; from there they were sent to news media throughout the United States. The photos were then sent to countries all over the world. NBC carried a special program narrated by Nancy Dickerson entitled "a Day in the Life of Ladybird." C 0 S also did a special program on Mrs. Johnson's visit, on Sunday at 10:30 p.m. The plane from Washington brought 57 people including Mrs. Johnson, reporters, and secret se rvice men. Whil e in the air, Mrs. Johnson greeted each person on the plane individually. A chartered plane from New York carried the team of NBC reporters in order to assure the return of the newsmen to New York with their stories by deadline time. Two bus loads of newsmen met Mrs. Johnson at the airoort. One of the buses carried the White House reporters and the other carried local reporters. The Associated Press was represen ted by three cameramen and two newsmen. In th eir estimation, they were sending photos to approximately 1800 newspapers.
