Roosevelt was in the White House. This wa rm fri endly attitude and interest in social problems possessed by Mrs. Johnson is evident in the fact that she chose Pennsylvani a, a state with 340,000 persons out of work, as the si te for an official visit Willi am L.

Andrew H our igan Time Changes Made In Class Schedules by Alis Pucilowski Many ch anges were recently made in the registrati on schedul es compl eted by the stud ents. Mrs. Ri a Frijters, program director of data processing in the va lley, h as announced that of the 1,273 schedules submitted, roughly 400 were changed. None of these changes, she explained, were mad e on an arbitrary bas is. Consideration was given to every deta il involved in the student's academic life. No Class Changes Mrs. Frijters explained that n o class changes were made, but the students' desired sections were. This was done to all ow each teacher of the same subject to have a pproximately the sam e amount of students. For example, if four hundred students were to take English 102 and if there were ten teachers offer ing th is course, each teacher would be given forty students. If more than forty students registered fo r one sect ion, thus creating an overload for one teacher, the "extra" students were pl aced in different sections in an orga nized manner. The distance traveled by the student and the time of hi s other courses were taken into considerati on. If th e stud ent did not register for any 8 a. m. classes, Mrs. Frijters explained that her crew tri ed whenever possihi e to keep th at hour open for the student. Moreover, if the student did not schedule any classes for one day, thi s was likew ise catered to. Mrs. Frijters asks that those stud ents who have phys ical educati on check with th e respect ive teachers because of sli ght vari ati ons wh ich were made on th e students' schedul es because of confli ct ing courses. An example follows: A stud ent registers for section H of physical educa ti on, which offers bowling at 8 a.m. on Thursday and gym (Continued on Page 3) NOTICE Students please refrain from usi ng the parking lots at Gore Hall and at the corner of South and S. Franklin Streets today and tomorrow so that there will be parking space for the num erous guests arriving at the College this weekend. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Friday, January 10, 1964 EDITORIALS LETTER TO EDITOR SALUTE TO LADY BIRD THEATER The fact that Mrs . Johnson's decision to appear at tomorrow's convocation exercises caused a furor on campus is a tribute not only to her position as First Lady but also to her personal appeal as a challenging, interesting woman. It would seem that th e Cue and Curtain Society has so far put forth a rather disappointing year. Starting out with I Spy and C ecile, Cue and Cur- _ tain recently produced It Is So, If You Think So leaving a bitter-sweet taste in this person's mouth. Apparently li ght comedy is not Cue and Curtain's forte. Rumor has it that a Shakespeare production is in the offing. One can only wonder what the result will be. We only hope that our "northern hospitality," sure to be touched by her "southern charm" will successfully convey our pleasure that she has given us this opportunity. GREAT EXPERIENCE To criticize Cue and Curtain is not the intent of this letter. The organization certainly does a marvelous job in providing excellent entertainment and experi ence for bot h audience and actors. H owever, perhaps a more judicious choice of play, and more careful casting would resu lt in productions reminiscent of last year's Look Back in Anger. In all honesty, with the exception of Cecile, Cue and Curtain's casts have not been provided with the best of veh icles. HOPEFU L The prese nce of so many illustrious persons - Mrs. Johnson, Governor Scranton, Dr. Graham, Mr. Shapp and a host of local dignitaries - will undoubtedly focus national attention not only on the Convocation and the dedication of our million dollar research center, but also on the community of Wilkes-Barre itself. Their interest will illustrate to both local and out of town residents the importance of the work of the Redevelopment Authority and the progress that a small community in a "de pressed area" is making in the realm of advanced learning. ouri) and 18 other senators. The main purpose of the bill was to grant the public and the press increased access to the records of government agencies and to solve some of the numerous complaints against government managed news. The fact that these important people took time out from their busy schedul.es to take part in this weekend's activities leads the rest of us to take a closer look at the significance of the event. But perhaps more important is the intangible gift that they hav-~ brought to us, in the area of human experience and relationships. Probably never before in the history of the College has there been such visible exhilira tion on campus; so much excited attention c_o ncentrated on campus activities by both students and non-students. The exhiliration and spirit spread by the vitality of these visiting people, as well as the entourage of associates and communications men who invariably accompany them, is infectious . The experience of meeting these people who "make the news" in our world is not only a valuable and an exciting one but also an educational experience for the average student 1;LJhich is unattainable in any textbook. • • 1dl,e1t DISAPPOINTED Dear Editor: Thus we eagerly await meeting her for both reasons .

All final agency opin ions and statements of policy would be made available for inspection and copy. A current index would be kept of all opin ions, rules, and orders. In addition times, places, and procedures for inspection of records would be specified. Perhaps the most important of all provisions in the bill is that the Federal Courts can order the production of improperly held records.

The real reason seems to be that MacMillan, afraid of public displeasure, decided to withdraw the book rather than risk carrying an unpopular one. Th is is not meant as a defense for Lasky's book, which is at best undistinguished. It is rather a reaction to the wave of fear that came over me when I reali zed that after MacMillan's action not one ripple of disapproval was heard, not one word. Right to Dissent One of the cornerstones of our way of life has always been the right to dissent, the right to voice an unpopular opinion. I am not saying that the dissenter was welcomed with open arms in the past. He wasn't. But he was tolerated. He was allowed to speak. The argument comes up that people have not changed. In past times society would have done the same thing. But it could not. It was not mobilized. This was before the days of radio and television, of Gallup, Roper, Nielson. and Harris, of mass transportation, of printed but in having it distributed and read. As a political science student, I cannot read the publications of either the far left or the far right without the fear of getting my name on some black list that will come back to haunt me in t r. e future. I know of a co llege newspa per which bega n to receive copies of communist propaganda. Along with the literature ca me a ca rd from the United States government explaining that what the paper was receiving was communist propaganda and asking the editor if hP. wished to continue receiving it. The editor answered that he would. The edit or has since expressed misgivings about thi s. This should not have happened. A college editor should not have to fear examining all sides of an issue. The theory behind our poli tical and educational systems is the free exchange of ideas. This means all ideas, not just those passed by a censor. Wilkes -Barre C en sors The most dangerous of all censors is the private self-appointed type. Soca lled decent literature groups are of ideas? If they do they are wrong. It is ludicrous to defend fr eedom by attacking it, to secure fr eed o m by taking it away. If di ssent in print is difficult, di ssent on the airways is impossible. Not only is political di ssent discouraged but political dissenters have difficulty taking part in any radio or television activiti es. Peter Seeger, long considered one of the nation 's leading folk singers, is never seen on television and rarely heard on radio. The reason given is that Seeger has "communist connections." This situation is not getting better. It is getting worse. It will continue to get worse until the public does something about it. It is about time community and civic groups stop stifling new ideas and rather encourage their free flow. It is about time for students to become exposed to these ideas, particularly on the college level. Ideas contrary to our own should be discussed rather than censored beca use di scussion and not censorship is the way to preserve the Ameri ca n system. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, January 10, 1964 Page 3 Clewell Originates New Te I e vision Pro CJ ram i Applications for Finnegan Scholarship Talent Of Fourteen Area Colleges To Be Featured Available for Govt.-Minded Students by Lois Petroski "Varsity-Accent on College," a completely new television program embracing the talent of 14 northeastern Pennsylvanian colleges and universities, will make its debut on Sunday, January 12. "Varsity" is the outcome of seven months' concerted effort by the College Public Relations Department, catalyst in arousing interest in the various institutions and in bringing them together for the venture.

In Finnegan's M emory This foundation, which has enabled over fifty-nine students to fulfill summer internships at the State Capitol, is a memoriam to the late James A. Finnegan. At the time of h is death Mr. Finnegan was the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. He was President of the City Council of Philadelph.ia in 1951 and served as National Campaign Mana ger for Ad lai Stevenson in the 1956 Presidential campaign. Knowing the va lue of education, he spent much of his tim e helping young people to continue with thei r studies.

In March , representati ves of the Ge neral Accountin g Office in Washington will be the guests of the Account ing Club at one of its regularly scheduled meetings. These representatives will explain many of the opportuni ties existing in the account ing profession, and will answer all questions related to The General Accounting Office. Although the club h as just completed one semester's acti vities, new Winier Activities Plan· n ed • • . ror Carnival al Buckh1ll rails by Charlo tte W etze l W inter Carnival time is here again. According to Co-cha irmen, Fred Smithson and Ruthie Schimm elbusch, th is year's event should be the best of severa l very successful Winter Carnivals. The affa ir is scheduled fo r Friday, January 31, at Buckhill Falls in the Poconos. As in previous years, the tickets are being sold for $1.50 each. Winter Sports For the bravest of the brave, skiing faci lities will be available. The lifts, wh ich will be operating from 10 a.m. unti l 4:30 p..m., ca n handle up to 2,000 persons an hour. Therefore, there should be plenty of room for you on the slopes. Skis and equipment are $3.50 and up; thi s includes the use of the lift. If you own your own skis, the only fee is the $2.00 charge for the use of the lift. Incidentall y, previous Winter Carniva lites give thi s advice: Don't be afraid to try skiin g just because you're a beginner; everyone has fun learning. If figure skating is one of your outstanding accomplishments, you can enjoy th e skating rink at the Falls, wh ich covers an area of 22,000 sq uare feet, an increase in size since last year. Skating is free if you bring your own skates. If you prefer to rent skates, the charge is 55 cents. For those winter sports enthusiasts who are afr a id to ski and ca n't skate, sledd ing fac ilities will also be avai la ble. The use of the sleds h as been included in the price of the ticket, which mi ght account for th e fact that at th e last two carni va ls, sledding h as re- ported ly been second in popularity to sk iing. Snow{lake Queen The hi ghli ght of th e day will be the crowning of the Snowfl ake Queen. This event will take place in the afternoon at th e skat ing rink. Details concerning the "coron ation" are not complete at th e tim e, but the Committee hopes th at the use of a PA system and television coverage _:;viii add interest and excitement to this part , of the day's program. T he grand fin al e will be the Winter Carni val Dance which will be h eld between 7 and JO p.m. The Snowfl ake Q ueen and h er court wi ll preside at the affair.

Each of us should recognize more fully that our way of life is based upon the confidence that we have in one another and the respect that we show for one another. May all of us combine firmness of conviction with a warm respect for the great ideals upon which our civilization is based and upon which its future depends.

Anyone wishing to join the AMNICOLA staff is invited to do so,. Hrynkiw would like to see more underclassmen on the staff. By joining in their freshman or sophomore years, the staff will gain experience which will be beneficial in editing their own class' yearbooks.

Two years ago the Forum was organized by Mr. Gutin, who is still occupying the position of !'acuity advisor. The Forum meets every Tuesday at 8 p.m. in Chapman Hall. One of the major ideas the group would like to impress upon the students is their informality. They have only as many by-laws and rules as are needed. Keeping with the tone of informality there are no officers elected. The only recognized leaders seem to be Margi Harris and Linda Ewing, who take care of the refreshments. Mr. Gutin believes the Forum is an important means of training for the future. It gives the students a chance to give papers, that is, speeches, on topics in their chosen profession. There is no formal way of becoming a member of the Forum. Anyone who is willing to give one paper during the academic year can be a member. People other than members are also invited to attend the discussions. The meeting is opened by the featured speaker. Then a question and answer period follows, after which there is a genera l discussion of the topic. After the discussion, refreshments are served and the forum is closed. These meetings usually last about two hours. In th e forum so far this year, the students have discussed such subjects as: Mark Twain, The Power of the Major Jang Hae Kim, South Korean Army, Korea assignment - front line, duty-officer in charge of coordinating air and ground artilleries. During the course of this war, which could shape or sever a man's life at any instant, Kim's preparation for his future began without his actually knowing it. For his "excellent performance in combat line" and for his ninety five percent accuracy in direct hits, his country and government awarded Kim the Silver Star. But war is not si lver ornaments, "War is tragic," says Kim. Its coldness and futility manifested themselves for him in the last moments of that war. Here is his account. "North and South were informed that at JO p.m. on Armistice Day all fighting must cease. Minutes before the deadline every piece of ground and air artillery exploded as if incensed with animalistic, passionate rage. Never before had the fight been as loud, as desperate, as pathetically wicked. At 10 p.m., earpiercing si lence. Two armies came forth to face each other, openly, without arms; they stood on hills and watched. There was no emot ion, no hate, just an air of nothingness that was so rea l then it became almost tangible. 'Forum' discussion in the round College Press, Highlights of German Literature, and The Meaning of Civil Rights. This past Tuesday's topic was A Presidents Death; it was given by Douglas Bennington. 'F OCUS to Discuss Value of Frats I by Carolyn Kaplan What is "Focus"? It is more than a radio program; it is a vehicle for selfexpression and a forum for free thought. It is a half hour devoted to the discussion of topics pertinent to our times. Twelve Wilkes College students participate in these discussions which are taped in Chase Hall and broadcast over WNAK every Sunday at I :30 p.m. These twelve students are divided into groups of four. Each Sunday a different group participates in a discussion. On December 15 Group three will discuss the question: Fraternities and Sororities-How Valuable are they to a College Education? Members of this 1;roup are Barbara Gallagher, Joh n Lore, Joe Klaips, and Jim Tredinnick. Moderator will be Arthur Hoover. In the past, the "Focus" panelists have tackled such controversial subjects as integration and civil rights, the tormented generation, and the proposed amendment to the state constitution to r,rant scholarships and loans to college students. Mr. Livingston Clewell, who is- the Director of Public Relations at Wil~es, is the creator and producer of "F~i;is". and understood a minia ture cross sect ion of th e U nited States as a whole. This is Kim the way he presents himself. But we went to Ashley Hall where he is proctor to uncover how the fellows feel about this modest man who is responsible for their behavior. The Quotes of five young men represent the _ dorm's feeling about Kim. Dick Burns said, "In his capacity, he more than offers governing advice in all matters. He is extremely interesting because he makes you realize there is a lot more to life than you would ordinari ly see." Highly Respected Al Gamble was emphatically direct , "Very interesting. Well organized. High character. Quite profound." Al Airola: He is a person whose op in ions you respect immediately. He sets exa111p les rather than just using words. It's hiird to say if it's more of an honor or a pleasure to have known him." Perry Sangston: "I have more respect for him than for any one else. I'd take his advice before any others. He's one of the nicest guys I've ever met, and I'll never forget him." Jeff Gallet: "You never really know a person until you live with him. I've li ved with Kim for three and one half years in a great variety of situations. I have never known a finer man. There just isn't one." high-minded, and egg-headish. Mr. Gutin is trying to impress upon the students the invalidity of these beliefs. He says, "Dealing with ideas can be a pleasure, and coll ege students should Study, The Hom e The Forum deserves more credit and realize it." It was this feeling that brought Kim interest than it is now being given. Out Mr. Gutin is hoping for a larger turn- to Wilkes through his cho ice of eduof 1300 students there are 12 in the Forum.

Hallmarks of high fashion some are candle slim; others gently full. Necklines are scooped, squared, or strapless. Waists are most frequently encircled by cummerbunds. Bodices are encrusted with rhinestones, embroidered with delicate flowers, or lavished with white sequins. Flattering shades include ice blue, a sugary pastel, champagne white, hot pink, American beauty red, and Kelly green. Ball gowns are accompanied by dyed to match heels, above the elbow gloves ( in white of course), and envelope clutch bags resplendent with sequins, beads, or tiny pearls and sometimes dyed to match the gown.

During this Christmas season, however, we have an excellent cpportunity to not only express gratitude to our parents for their aid and encouragement, but also to convey to them our many experiences, which lack of time has prevented us from doing throughout the year.

At this meeting, the proposed amendments were read, discussed and defeated. Speaking for myself, and I think also for other officers and executive council members, we are not discouraged. For the past year and a half, the class of '66 has remained a little stagnant. something to say and would not be railroaded into any situations is important. I hope that this enthusiasm will remain for the next two and a half years. Again, speaking for myself and the other officers and council members of the sophomore class, we were defeated; however, we plan to serve this class to the best of our ability as long as we are members of this class.

White sequins, rhinestones, and spa ngles embellish on the skirt a vine pattern. A beguiling creation is a ball gown of white satin. A decolote neckline dips into a slight V in back. The skirt is candle slim. Both bodice and skirt are encrusted with silver threading, tiny tassels, and embroidered delicate white flowers. Rhinestone earrings, above the elbow gloves, and satin clutch bag add the final feminine touch. A taffeta confection in Kelly green is a striking choice for that very special evening. It is unsleeved and the scoop neckline dips to a lower scoop in back. The bodice is designed with an OV!l,fblouse effect. In back a huge bo'w adorns the waist. Frankly feminine is an ice blue taffeta gown. The floor length skirt fa lls in soft folds from the waist. The overblouse bodice is edged in white sequins and silver beads. Regally stunning is a satin ball gown in American beauty red. The neckline is squared in front and back. The bodice insert is resplendent with multi-colored sequins. The fitted waist eases into a softly pleated skirt.

The R epublican political picture has changed radically. Three weeks ago it appeared that Senator Goldwater was a fairly safe bet to get the Presidential nomination. His lib eral opposition was weak. Now , since the tragic death of President Kennedy, the Goldwater star seems to be on the descent. Even Goldwater's N ew Hampshire campaign manager, Senator Norris Cotton , admits that the Senator's chances have been hurt.

Lodge gained national prominence first as a U .N. delegate and later as a VicePresidential candidate (without being hurt politically in the defeat of the Nixon-Lodge ticket).

MAILEY EXPLAINS THE IMPACT OF DALLAS READER COMMENTS Dear Editor: EDITOR'S NOTE - This column is a reprint of a story f irst run in the WEST SIDE NEWS, Dece mber 5, 1963. The tragic events of last week have given us time for so ber thinking and reflection. Many varied points have been rai sed on the drama of last week. I. Our Federal system being what it is ,there has been no Federal crime committed. Oswald's act was strictly a state act under our system of law. Under present conditions, there is no possibility that he could have been prosecuted for treason, for this act is specifically defined in the Constitution, which states that treason is a cri me against the U nited States and not against the States. Furthermore, it is def ined as "levying war agai nst them (the U.S.) or in "givin g the enemies aid and comfort." Moreover, a person cannot be so convicted except on the testimony of two witnesses to the overt act, or on confession in open court. If this act by Oswald was treason, it will never be known in view of his murder. 2. If a conspiracy to overthrow the government did exist, there is the possibility that Oswald could have been tried in the Federal jurisdiction under the Smith Act. While the States can still deal with sedition (Uphaus V. Wyman, 1959), the Supreme Court in two cases involving Pennsylvania laws (Hines Davidowiz in 1941 and Pennsylvania v. Nelson in 1956) , basing its decision on the doctrin e of "supersession" placed sedition and subversion in the U.S. jurisdiction. W e will never know wh ether or not the Oswald case was one that could have been tried in the U.S. jurisdiction . 3. A number of questions involving civil rights wo uld have arisen had Oswald been tri ed in either jurisdiction over the meaning of due process and fair procedure. Ri ght to counsel, imparti al jury, protection against self-incriminat ion, the atmosphere of an inflamed public opinion in Texas, coercion to obtain a confession, etc. would have taxed our judicial processses. Whether Oswald could have obtained counsel in view of the fact that his family had difficulty in obta ining a minister for hi s last rites will never be answered. The America n people will never know whether an impartial jury could have been selected for hi s trial, in view of the fact that the first reaction of most Am er icans was that " it served him ri ght." While every police officer is convinced that the circum~tanti al evidence was overwhelming in favor of convi ction, the courts will never decide whether it was enough. Convictions have been obtained on much less ev idence than that amassed against Oswald. Ti ghter Rules N eeded 4. The Dallas Police Department needs more than a tightening of its security rul es and regulations. It is impossible to permit hangers-on around a police station without affecting the effi ciency of the police force. The friend ly and chummy relations th at Ruby had with Dall as police spells a ruined image for police everywhere. What is the real basi s on which he is supposed to have known so m any Dallas policemen that he could walk into a security area without being ordered to leave? Any six-year old who watches TV thrillers knows that suspects such as Oswald are moved at unusual hours when people least expect it. Was it the press and TV that insisted on bri ght daylight? 5. Just what is the role and function of th e newspapers, TV, and radio? Is it to replace the criminal investigation of competent and professional police offi cers? The reporters certainl y did that last weekend. Is it to psychoanalyze peop le to determine what in their makeup or past hi story ca uses assassinations and murders? The TV boys certainly acted like amateure psychiatrists. Is it the role of a press or TV reporter to pry into the pri vate li ves of people who have been saddened by tragedy? They certainly entered the homes of such soul s. Bringing a TV camera into the kitchen of the Dallas police officer's home to interview his wife and family was cruel, inhuman, and devi od of respect for those poor people. T o scoo p a competitor in a story has its outer bounds - when people are sadd ened by tragedy and shock and th ey want to be alone to pray. To be with God at such a time is a private matter, and not a tripartite conference including God, the bereaved , and the newsman. Texas 'Enemy' T erritory 6. A point has been made that more security precautions should have been taken since T exas was "enemy" territory to the President. If those in charge of securin g the safety of th e Pres ident failed to round up Oswald and deta in him until the President had departed, or if he was cleared aft er hi s record was reviewed, then a compl ete over-hauling of the organizati on and personnel so charged is of paramount importance. But it is one thing to revise security regulations, and still another to ex pect to shut the President away from th e public that elected him. One of the ri sks that a democrati c society runs is that its official s must li ve lmder conditions tr.at are public necessarily fraught with dangers. No public offi cial can refuse to expose himself to the people who elected him. Whi le a distinction ca n be made between a public official's private life and public life, nevertheless it is on the basis of his public image that he is elected. It was on the basis of the activities (parades, speeches, hand sha king:, etc.) that the Pres ident was enj oy ing in Dallas that he was elected to the Pres idency. Therefore, fo r both the philoso phic and the practical reasons, our Pres idents must appear in public. 7. The media of communi cations - press, TV, and radio - did a remarkabl e jo b of giving the American people an opportunity to share the inside drama of hi story as it was being acted on the stage. But, the medi a is not without its failings. Nor, is it the sacred cow of American institutions that it should not shoulder a share of the responsi bility for what transpired. If newspapers and TV insist on taking credit for enlightening the public. they must also assume t he blame for fanning the flames of hate and venom by their vitriolic statements. How about the responsibility of th e press, radio, and TV in a city where the people had manhunted Lyndon Johnson and hi s wife in 1960, spat on U.S. Ambassador to the U N, Stevenson, and whic'1 has been known as a hotbed of dtra-conservatism? Specificall y, why did th e Dallas News take that ad against the Pres ident of the U.S.? Home for Extremists Dallas has been known as the home for extremi sts of al l persuasions. The people of tb e City have shown an inability to maintain a condition of temperate discussion. Furthermore, the habit of intemperate speech has been deepened in Dall as by th use of the mass media. Vituperati on of the President by a hostile press tend to influence people who are suggestible, who can easily displace to the person of the President all th e hates and fears they have against other people. It was in this atmosphere of violence and hatred that the assassin l ived feeling alienated against all humanity. The climate of Dallas - helped in its creation by th e press and TV - was conducive to murderous thoughts. Th e press has got to learn that there is a difference between a free press and a responsi ble press. TV has got to learn that unrestrained speech is inherently subversive. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PRESS AND TV TO PROHIBTT ITS USE TO THOSE WHO CREATE A DISREGARD FOR AUTHORITY AND GRADUALISM. I can't tell you h ow much I enj oy and appreciate reading the "Wilkes College Beacon ". This fall's issues are rea ll y outstanding. The editorials are thoughtful, timely and provocative. The reprinting of Dr. Vujica's guest editorial on the front page of the recent issue of the "Beacon" is an excellent idea. His message is the finest that I have seen anywhere in reaction to die trag ic loss of our late President. • Pirandello's 'It Is So' by Alis Pucilowski, Jeff Gallet The performance of Mary Russin, as Si gnora Proia, the " insane" moth er-inlaw, in the Cue and Curtain presentati on of Lui gi Pirandello's It l s So If You Thin k So, was magnificent. Wh en Miss Russin came on stage, one could feel a bored audience snap to attention. When Miss Russ in left the stage, the spell was broken. That she should give such a fine performance is certai nly no surpri se. Her acting in such vehicles as Enemy of the People and The Music Man was impressive. Pirandello's play appears to be a scathing attack on goss iping for gossip's sake. One is left with the idea that PirandelJ o consid ers goss ip th e root of evil. He defends a family's ri ght to privacy. H owever, this potential was lost through Pirandello's weak hand)ing of c!1aracter and dialogue. Against th ese defects, Dick French performed admirably in hi s first role at the college. French shows the type of talent that Director Groh has a reputation for developi ng to its utmost. Durin,r the two hours traffi c of the stage, Mike Mostell a, gave a rather pedestrian performance. However, one must note the burden of poor characterizati on he was forced to bear. His un expected display of emotion in one of the final scenes revea led a surge of feeling for the personality he represented. Marc Hirschm an, who has shown the a bilit y to do better, performed hi s part in an authoritative manner that the sub~ta nce of hi s character did not warrant. In contrast to this, Dianne Alfaro, as his wife. exempl ied the low key in ,,,hic11 a role of th is type should be played. As thf' daughter, Miss Sylvia Du tcher, in her first trip to thi s stage, fell. Mr. Stephen Gavola, playing the middle-aged, Italian goss ip, portrayed hi s character with great gusto, a gusto which at times overfl owed in to the lines being delivered by the other actors. The rest of the cast gave adequate, if not inspired, performa nces. Special attr.,tion should be given to Darlene Moll, whose facial expressions were apposite; and Iris Collins. whose pertinent role wa.s handled with skill. Bill Pucilowski aga in effected set designs of the hi gh est calibre, allowing Director Groh a wider range of interpreta1ion. • (Co ntinue d from Page 5) D im Crepe for Cocktails Russin Resplendent In Sincerely yours, R ev.

A black crepe that's too prissy and sissy sweet to let anybody stay mad at you resorts to ruffled loops around the hem and Sabrina neckline. The dress is unsleeved and the wa ist clinch ed with a self belt. Designed for th inking ch ampagne thoughts is a classic creation in black crepe. A jewel loving n eckline, natural waistline, and slim sk irt are its style notes. With black crepe cocktail dresses elbow shy gloves and rhin estone jewelry provide that final feminine touch.

In th e midst of a peri od of rebuilding, the team is lackin g in experi ence in the heavier we ights and is left with freshmen to occupy the 157, 177, and heavywe ight classes. In the opening session Coach John Reese was faced with an unexpectedly poor turnout created wh en ma ny excellent prospects, whom he was ant icipatin g, fa iled to make an appeara nce. U nfortunately the team is looking forward to a long, hard season due to th is lack of enthusiasm as displayed by the non-support of potentia ll y excellent grapplers. Not all is di scouraging, however, since th e team is st renghthened by the return of fi ve lettermen. Among these are two outstanding grapplers, Ned McG inley and Brooke Yeager. McGinley who holds dow n the 123-pound slot, ranked third last year in th e 11 5pouncl d ass of the NAI tourn ament and second in the Wilkes Open Wrestling T ourney. Now a sen ior, N ed has performed admira bl y in the past and has contributed numerous victories to the Colonel squad. Wh at is remarkable about Ned, in additi on to h is w inning, is the fact th at in college he is giving h is opponents a dec ided we ight advantage, as ev idenced by his wrestling in the ! IS- pound class in the Open. W it h his knowledge of the moves and possession of speed Ned makes up for his lack of weigh t and controls hi s often stronger adversari es. Brooke Yeager, returning after a year of a bscense is another asset to th e team. Occupyin g the 130-pound class, Brooke also wrestl es a bove his actual weight. In the past he received the outstanding MAC award for the 123-pound class. Brooke's skill and maneuverability has greatl y helped the team in th e past and most assuredly w ill be of grea t value in the future. strong competition from schools wh ich in the past were of litttle worry. The Colone ls have a real challenge facing them, but with th e strong determinati on th ey possess, they should produce a victorious season. Also among the top eliminators is John Gardner, wh o fill s th e 167-pound slot. John produced a cham pionship in the MAC tourney in hi s freshman year and has greatl y added to the Colonels strength. Brooke Y eager Scranton clouts Wi,·kes After Colonels Bow to Ithaca; Lose 4 in a Row It looks Iike another rough year for the Wilkes cagers as the Ferri smen made it 4 losses in a row at Scranton on Mond ay ni ght. The Royals pasted Wil kes in a 108-51 runaway which saw Scranton in front 49-24 at halftime. For Scranton U ., Witaconi s was hi gh with 22 points.

Up by Clark Line, Sports Editor N aism ith's Brainchild Basketball was in vented by Dr. James A. Na ismith in 1891, although the first ga me was not played until January 20, 1892. The ga me is completely Am erica n, havin g no predecessor in any other coun try. It originated at th e Y.M.C.A. College in Springfi eld, Massachusetts as a mea ns of curtai lin g the dwindling enthusiasm in gymnas iums, where th e order of the day was calistheni cs and we ightlifting - both of whi ch becam e extremely boring after a time. Basketball was devised as an old man's game ori ginally, by its lack of body contact. At the time of its birth it was considered a sissy sport, and many of its enthusiasts were a bused bo th verbally and physically. Yet, basketball players proved their ruggedn ess in post- ga me brawls, and th e , port ga ined popularity until today it ranks as the foremost spectator sport wi th more th an 20 million participants throughout the world. The reasons fo r its popularity are its fl exi bility, its a bility to be played outdoors or indoors, asd the indifference to age. In add iti on their are no sex limitati ons. Furthermore it appeal ed to the youth more th an to the older generati on for which it was designed due to the im portance of speed and agil ity, m upled with skill. N a ismi th did away with the carryi ng of !he ball as in foo tball, and thus lay- ed down the basic premi se of the ga me - the negation of roughness caused by body contact, since there is no need for tackling. A final interestin g oddity is a solo game played by Pat McGee of St. Peter's Hi gh School in Fairmont, W est Virgini a. McGee's teamates fouled out of a game between the seni ors and juniors of St. Peters, and he was left alone on the court to carry on th e game wi th fo ur m inutes rem aining and the score ti ed 32-32. McGee scored a goa l and a fou l and th en held off his opponents to win tre game 35-32. W res tl in g H as Lon g History Wrest ling looms as one of the oldest orga ni zed sports in the world, hav ing had its ea rli est ori gin among th e cavemen. The old timers found a practical need for wrestling as a means of selfpreserva ti on, and conducted practice sessions within their Families. Dr. S. A. Speiser and hi s party of researchers from the U n iversity of Pennsylvan ia uncovered so me tablets in the Middle East which make wrestlin g as a. sport a bout 5,000 years old. The Greeks engaged in w restlin g matches, and the participants in the sport were revered throughout the world. As the Greeks developed a taste tor more acti on, Pa ncreat ium came into bein g.

The team is sufferin g from a signed a tedious task. Making something of what he has inherited will be quite a job. Rebuild ing, however, is something th at is not new to him. After taking over the helm of the soccer team, he has greatly improved their record. It is hoped, with a great deal of confidence, that he will do the same with the basketball team. The cage team under previous coach Eddie Dav is managed to win on ly five games in the past two campai gns. Last season the team won two and lost twenty for a .097 average, the lowest in their conference. C oach Ferr is Jack Ba rnes should better its past records for the last three years. Having an ample supply of swimmers in each event except the butterfly, the team is looking fo rward to giving it's opponents a hard t ime in each event. Brighetest member of the tea m is Ca pta in Jack Barnes, who holds th e pool record for the 25-yard free style event and was voted the outstanding swimmer fo r th e past two years. Also returning is letterm an Ron Masters who was selected as the outstandin g di ver of th e T eam last year. Last Saturday, the Colonels lost to Ithaca 98-66.

Evolution of S wi m min g Those swimming enthusiasts among us, and es peciall y th e members of th e Wilkes College Swimming Club, should be interested to know th at swimmin g as a word ca me from th e Old English "swi mm in", and that th e sport of swimmin g ori gin ated, in modern civili za ti on, with the E nglish . A boo k entitl ed "The Complete Swimmer", by Guy Larcon and H arold S. U len, stated th at competiti ve swimming bega n a bout 1837, in London. The first contests were spo nsored by lhe " Nati onal Swi mmin g Society in England". In 1844, North Am erican Indi ans participated in an English meet. Flyin g Gull won the event with a hi ghl y unorthodox, un-European "windmill" stroke whi ch feat ured "grotesque antics." Actually, th is was probably the first public ex hibit ion of th e crawl stroke. The English, who were not concerned with speed, had been accustomed to the breast stroke, wit h vari ations of th e side stroke. The crawl ori ginated with the nati ves of South Amer ica and the South Seas. A ma n by the name of ). Arthur Trugen (so metim es Trudgeo n) introduced th e stroke whi ch was descr ibed as a double overhand, and eventually came to bea r hi s name. The Australian crawl was developed as such by Frederi ck Cavill and hi s fa mily, who incorporated the nati ve kick wi th the overh and stroke. Syd Cav ill was hJ red by th e San Francisco Ol ympic Club to train swimmers. Charles M.

I, for one, have emerged from that shattering experience with a renewed sense of pride in my adopted country. For it is obvious to me that, far from revealing any fundam ental weakness, these sad events helped to place in sharp focus and show to the whole world the essential soundness and invulnerability of our political structure as well as the basic maturity of the American people. The sudden and brutal slaying of the dynamic and beloved President Kennedy has not resulted in a paralysis or a dangerous administrative vacuum. The instant the late President died the country had a new Pres ident, the man who was elec ted by the peo ple for that very contingency and who had been well prepared for the assumption of his aweso me responsibilities. There were no behindthe-scene maneuverings, no secret machinations, no danger of a military takeover, no street demonstrations. The conduct of the American people during those momentous days when the world stopped to watch history unfold itself before our own eyes, was truly remarkable. H orrified and saddened to the very marrow of their being, our peo ple remained calm and dignified through the whole cruel ordeal. When asked if he would reappeal the decision, George Evancho, president of IDC, stated that "too much time has been wasted on needless discrepancy nominees.

There is no need to rehears e the melancholy events, or to bemoan once more the sheer senselessness of it all. My first reac tion, like that of other Americans, was one of utter horror, piercing sorrow, and burning shame. But now that those agonizing hours and days are behind us, it beco mes possible to go beyond the grief and indignation and attempt a less sanguine appraisal of that tragic weekend. Although the news came early that the accused assassin was a pro-Russia and pro-Castro Marxist, there were no outbursts of anti-Communist hysteria, no flag-waving or slogan-shouting street demonstrations, no war cries, no breaking of windows of Russian or Cuban embassies or consulates.

Tippit, and Lee Harvey Oswald. These deaths could have been avoided. In reviewing the events of that tragic week-end we are shocked at what we find. It appears that the Dallas police, through the use of simple precautions and common sense, could have prevented the tragedy. Prior to President Kennedy's arrival in Dallas, the FBI informed the Dallas police that Lee Harvey Oswald, who was on their subversive list, was in the city of Dallas. The police w.ere advised to keep track of his movements. This apparently was not done. On the day of the President's arrival, Dallas policemen were assigned to check the people entering and leaving buildings along !he presidential route. When Lee Oswald, the alleged assgssin, entered the building from which the fatal shots were fired, he 'was stopped by a policeman. At that time he was carrying a long package in which the FBI later assumed he carried the murder weapon. Oswald told the officer that he worked in the building and his package contained a window shade. The officer let him go through WITHOUT CHECKING THE PACKAGE. A few hours later John Kennedy was dead. When Oswald left the building he was again stopped by a policeman. Again he explained that he worked in the building. Again he was allowed to pass. A few hours later J. D. Tippit was dead. Oswald was finally arrested by the Dallas police. He was brought to Dallas police headquarters for Questioning. During the time he was being held there, the police department released statements to the effect that he was guilty of the assassination. These fanned the flames of public hate. The Dallas police, as a normal procedure, pr.epared to move Oswald to County Criminal Courts Building. Before they made final plans on how to move him, the FBI informed the police they had received a threat against Oswald's life. Instead of doing the logical thing and moving Oswald quickly and secretly, he was moved publicly, with advance notice. A crowd of newspaper and television reporters gathered to watch him being moved. In the crowd was Jack Ruby. A few hours later Lee Harvy Oswald was dead. When a human being is murdered it is a tragedy. When the President of the United States is murdered it is a catastrophe. This catastrophe was unnecessary. We don't wish to imply that the Dallas police department was solely responsible for the tragic events, but we can't help thinking that if the Dallas police had acted with reasonable competence and intelligence these horrendous acts would not have occurred.

Apparently, Mr. Frances is so active on the Assembly Committee that, in a recent interview with Dean Ahlborn, Mr. John Campbell was presented as the chairman. We wish to remove some misconceptions held by Mr. Frances. Before writing that "appalling article" concerning the ineffectiveness of compulsory assembly, we spoke with the aforementioned John Campbell cin the phone. We wanted a statement, written or oral, concerning the purpose of the assembly programs. We did not get it. The accusation made by Mr. Frances, i.e., that we wrote on something about which we know nothing, is untrue.

Alis Pucilowski Jeff Gallet RAvEs Why Not? * * * by Andrea T emplar WILSON THANKS ALL Why aren't you going to attend one of the two formal affairs held on our campus? We have the answer. Going to these affairs is like going to a high school prom. You can't take the gym out of gymnasium. No matter how you puff, powder, lipstick, or decorate a gym, those baskets and floor markings don't move an inch, but peep from their crepe paper and stare hideously over your shoulder. And the smell of a gym, however pleasant at a wrestling match, becomes disastrous at a dance. Chanel and sawdust just do not mix. The music. You've had those same bland, dance bands since your eleventh grade proms. You have had enough. In other words, you downright refuse to spend money on a fancy Friday night dance. You have to rent a tux and your girl appears in a black sheath. The whole degenerate situation of our formal affairs is not shameful, but disgusting. Answers Given We said we had the answers. Here they are: First of all, instead of trying to take the gym out of the dance, let's take the dance out of the gym. We don't need those baskets, and they don't need us. There are plenty of places to hold a formal : The Irem Temple Country Club, The Mansfield Ballroom, The Crystal Ballroom of the Hotel Sterling. (Transportation to these places would be no more of a problem than it is for any dance date.) Instead of the usual bland dance band, we offer ballroom music, featuring Viennese waltzes, but including all types of modern dances. "Hold it," you say. " Waltzes?" Yes, waltzes. You sway for thirty seconds to three-four time, and the rest comes naturally. Now. We've taken our dance to a ballroom; we've given it beautiful music. We assume you're interested. What are you going to wear? We would like to see it become white-tie. Our reasons for this are both unusual and logical. First, we have never, in our memory at Wilkes, held a formal affair. (If you're an individualist, this is reason enough.) Secondly, black tie affairs have not proven themselves successful, anyway. Thirdly, almost every girl at Wilkes is harboring (or has access to) one floor-length gown. Whether anybody wants to admit it or not, long gowns make us feel more feminine and you more masculine, and there's no better arrangement than that. While white tie is not absolutely essential for this; we feel it will be beneficial because of our fourth and most important reason: The educational benefit derived from holding a truly formal affair. Broadens Experience Our education must touch on every aspect of our knowledge for future reference. Because it takes on the guise of a formal does not diminish its importance. In this world we are being prepared for through college, exists the practice of consummating business over formal affairs. Suppose your employer informs you that tonight at a formal dinner party you are going to bring about an important merger. You walk in feeling completely ill-at-ease be- I would like to take this opportunity to thank those who made the Thanksgiving All College Dance, sponsored by Student Government, a success. Dick French, Marie Shutlock, and Simon Russin headed the committees. John Loughney, Bob Deets, and Ron Czajkowski ably assisted. To Miss Millie Gittens and Mr. Art Hoover, chaperones, and to "Pop" Clewell, publicity, my special thanks. Harry W. Wilson Chairman ALL COLLEGE DANCE cause your white tie is too tight and your stick pin is stuck wrong, and you cower in the corner because you feel like a penguin in all-too unfamiliar attire. During this, just how do you intend to carry out intricate business manipulations. These are our logical answers. To say that most other colleges such as University of Pennsylvania, Oberlin, Scranton University have formal affairs would be superfluous, as would be the question - why must we leave Wilkes to have a "great" time at a formal affair. We would like to see the Cinderella Ball turned into a Viennese Ball. The subject will be open to your comments and criticisms through a survey to be taken especially for you. Our purpose is not to turn a formal hi-brow, but your-brow. TWO LEVELS OF IMPLICATION SEEN IN 1 WIikes College BEACON . ... .................. .......... Barbara A.

He is installed at a fashionable spa hot.el, and has started work on a new film (which sounds like the movie we're actually watching) while taking a rest cure. His writer is with him. His producer, his production staff and his star, Claudia, descend on him. He summons to the hotel, in turn, his mistress, Carla, and his wife, Luisa. 8-1;2 is a movie about making a movie, but it's also a movie itself (this obvious point, which we might at first have a tendency to forget, is given importance by Fellini who implicates the viewer in the action of the film). The artistic or creative process is the spine of the film; the questionable distinctions of illusion and reality ar.e the heart of the film. Fellini concentrates on the form of Guido's experience, and on the use to which Guido puts this experience. As to the form of Guido's experience: his experience is never just a simple thing; it's a minestrone of memory and madness, of fact and fantasy, of dream and desire. For example: when Guido sees a nurse, she is transformed into the girl of his dreams of innocence, and when he sees a solidly put-together, fleshly, woman, she is transformed into a prostitute of ancient memory. As to the uses to which Guido puts the form of his experience: it is important to state the question just this way. Most of us experience our experience. Guido makes use of it. In one sense, he plays an essentially passive role in his experience, in that he doesn't guide it; he lets it happen; and only later uses it, or acts on it. But in another sense, he dynamically and creatively participates in the experience, in that he uses it to support his im- aginative or filmic conceptions. He uses reality for imaginative purposes and these imaginative purposes in turn, serve the reality of his films. It's a nice irony. Life and art move in and out. For example: we see people trying out for parts (in the film Guido is about to make) that we have seen they have already played; excepting, however, that the parts they have already played were not parts to begin (Continued on Page J) �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1963 Page 3 Ricki Hahn Selected Miss November Holiday Activities CHRISTMAS MUSIC TO BE F'E ATU 'R ED AT LAST 1963 ASSEMBLY, THURSDAY Continuing the tradition set in past years, the College Music Department wi ll present its annua l Christmas Ser1vice at next week's student assembly.

So there is Guido, blurring the distinction between his life and his art. But because this is a movie itself, there is another level of implication. Fellini also involves the viewer in the business of blurring the distinction between life and art. Guido's writer in the film makes the very comments about the film Guido is starting (but which is the fini shed film we are seeing, and that he is acting in) that we wou ld make. Then, again, the names of some of the characters in the film have the very names which they have in real life (if you want to get sticky, you and I live "real" li ves) Claudia, 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Gu ido's star, for example, is Claudia Cardinale.

The writer, Jimmy Cannon, recalled nostalgic scenes of bygone days at the Garden and the restaurants and tap rooms which filled the bellies and quenched the hea rty thirsts of the pugs and ringsiders alike. He said that boxing was dying, not in those exact words, but that's what he was saying - and that's how it reall y is. Even the attempts at reviving the sport by switching the T .V. broadcasts back to Friday night could not provide new life and action, at one time captured in the canvas arena beneath the hot 1igh ts. country like the Garden on fi ght ni ght.

Up by Clark Line, Sports Ed itor Back then, in the middle of the century and before, when Dempsey, Louis, Tunney, Armstrong, Pep, and others were the big draws, boxing was a ritual - even a way of life. It is still a way of life today, but only as far as it brings in money to the pugilist. Golden Days In the golden days of organized boxing, from about the time of its birth with Sullivan to its boom in the Dempsey-Louis era, th e sport was characteristic of the nati on.

The lead changed hands innumera ble times with the Barons down by only one point at the end of the third period. The Billies rallied in the fourth period, however, outscoring th e Barons 35-28. Bob Ke ller, the Barons leading scorer la st year and fifth hi ghest man in the league with a 27.8 average, dropped in 42 poi nts and comb ined with Ted Luckenb ill's 20 to pace th e squad. Juli us McCoy led the Billies with 43 points. Playi ng before a crowd of 3,000, the Barons lost their home opener to Allentow n Thanksgiving ni ght. The defendin g league champs overpowered the loca ls in handi ng th e Barons a 126-100 pasting. With standout Bob Keller sidelined for two weeks because of a pulled leg muscle, the Barons were unable to contend with th e fast break and deadly accuracy of the Jets. Allentown jumped to an early lead and held their margin throughout the ga me. Roman Turmon paced the visitors with 22 points, whi le Joe Roberts led the Barons with 21. Hometown favor ite, Clark Mosier, displayed his talents in the fou rth period as he dropped in 13 quick points. Saturday ni ght the Barons traveled to Allentown for a rematch with the Jets a nd were sent home with a 1171IO defeat. Poor foul shooti ng cost Wilkes-Barre a chance to wi n their first contest of the yea r as both teams made 44 goa ls from the field. The locals, however, hit on onl y 22 of 36 fouls attempted. Nowell and Buckhalter, with 28 and 20 points respectivel y, topped WilkesBarre, whi le Simon's 27 and Whitney's 25 headed the Jets. Sunday ni ght Wi lkes-Barre suffered its 4th st raight loss, a 122-1 04 drubbing by the Scra nton Miners. The contest eru pted into a slugfest as the two arch riva ls met at the Scranton CYC. The first period saw a batt le of the giants as 7' I" Bill Spivy and 6' 7" Joe Buckhalter exchanged a few punches. In the second period, Spivy aga in disp layed his " prowess", this tim e knocking out Tom Fitzmaurice with an elbow to the chest. In spite of these antics by th e Miners, the Barons bore the brunt of the punishment as they were called for 56 infractions to onl y 28 for Scra nton. Roberts' 22 points for W il kes-Bar re and Richi e Gaines' 27 for Scra nton were the team leaders. Recent acqui si tion, George Raveling, formerly of the Camden Bullets, dropped in 15 points fo r the Barons.

Maybe you're asking what I'm so interested in a lost cause for; or why I am writing about old stuff in a newspaper. It might be that I'm just rem iniscing and recalling the time my parents saw W illie Pep wearing blue suede shoes at a night spot in Hartford. That made Pep real to me and I idolized him. I wasn't very old when I saw him beaten - badly. T ears came into my eyes. I t h ink I would have felt that way even if I was older because I was part of the great spectacle of boxing. No one wants to be part of the spectacle anymore. So what, if in varying degrees the spectators, society, and even the crooks have left boxi ng to the vultures? And that's the whole argument. W e have big names today. Sonny Liston is only one colorful figure in the world of fi sti cuffs. He doesn't smi le, beats up on non-fi ghters as well as his ring opponents, and gets into trouble with the law. Liston is only one, but even though his number be increased . . . nobody cares.

CAQA\l ~~ WHO'S AFRAID OF CONTROVERSY THE BALLOT BOX We picked up our acid pen to write another scathing indictment of the apathy of the student body when sounds of activity coming from the Student Government office interrupted us. Running right down to investigate, we discovered that, startling as it may seem, there's life surging on our campus and much of it is centered in the SG office. The students are interested, thinking, questioning, non-apathetic. Just look at the signs: The Accounting Club appealing the change of their dance date, !DC questioning their budget, CORE group's right to student funds challenged, Stu Jed's committee investigating apathy, and Andrea Templar laboring for a formal Viennese ball. All of these are good signs; signs of blossoming student interest. Yet, unbelievably we have heard cries of alarm at this discussion and debate from sorric: elements on campus, intimations that we shouldn' t mention these points of difference in our paper. This attitude is difficult to accept not only because of its suggestion to ignore facts but also because it implies something amiss in students questioning tradition and each other. THE RISK OF BARRY GOLDWATER by Jeff Gallet Bow to the Southeast, wave your flag, the meeting of the Goldwater for President Committee is called to order. Ridiculous, maybe, but too close to the truth for comfort. The Goldwater people are a dedicated, loyal, fanatical group. They aim to get their man into the White House and they are organizing for the big push. Their devotion is impressive but one has to wonder if these people realize what their hero stands for. For the purpose of enlightening the Senator's suporters I will review some of Goldwater's avowed positions.

Just thirteen days before he told the A.P., "The United States should begin act ing like a world power and quit groveling on its knees to inferior people who like to come to New York." Does Senator Goldwater expect us to withdraw ourselves from the stream of world diplomacy? If you ask a Goldwater supporter this question he will smile at you knowingly and patiently explain that Goldwater simply wants to deal directly with the Russians rather than through a world group. I life and appeal to the majority of students, and act as a fact finding committee, to determine the students' attitude toward particular assemblies and to find out \\hat they would like in the future. The assembly committee does not have dictatorial authority over assemblies or the way they are run. It is subject to the 11pproval or disapproval of the administration. The assembly committee meetings are open not only to members, but also to any student or faculty member who is sincerely interested. Miss Puci lowski and Mr. Ga llet accused the assembly committee of loosely organizing assemblies. This is not true. The committee begins in November to organize an assembly calendar and to acquire guests for the following year. Let it be known that neither of the co-authors of last week's article has had the initiative or interest to attend a meeting or even to discuss the matter with a member of the assembly committee, (an example of the afore mentioned cardinal sin) . The committee was also accused of having assembly programs providing entertainment already available. A study of this year's program reveals that there is not one single assembly which provides the student with any entertainment or knowledge which is already close at hand. The committee was also accused of being inefficient. This, of course, is a false and biased statement. U nfortunately, rebuttal to this accusation wou ld require a full issue of the Beacon. In summation, let me say that the article entitled "Assemblies Cannot Force Culture" can be compared to a Texas Longhorn - It has a point here and a point there with lots of bull in between.

Sincerely yours, Francis J. Dean of Academic �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, November 22, 1963 DEBATERS COMMENT ON BENEFITS GAINED by Lois Petroski Resolved, That the Debate Society can regain and surpass the fine reputation which it held among top schools in the country between 1955 and 1959. After a relative decline succeeding the 1955-59 "intellectual boom" among the College debaters, the Forensic Society is working eagerly in hopes of regaining its lost reputation. Prior to 1961, Dr. Kruger and Mr. Harold Flannery, former faculty members, coached the College group. John Campbell president · of the club since last year, was a ~tr1ber of the Debate Society at this tfrfle. Mr. Campbell admits : "I knew nothing of debate routine before I joined the College organization in my sophomore year. Practice as a novice provided me with knowledge of the rudiments, the style, and the technique of debate." Being the sole debater with collegiate experience, Mr. Campbell aided Miss Charlotte Lord and Mr. Dirk Budd last year when they began to organize teams and transfer the activities of debate. They worked with a quartet of novices, Douglas Kistler, David Levy, Rosemary Rush, and James Tredennick, who joined the club in September. Ephraim Frankel augmented membership when he joined at mid-semester. Along with devoting at least four hours of each week to library research, the group practiced a great deal. As a result, these novices had a very successful season and became varsity debaters this fall. Mr. Levy gained recognition in two tournaments. At Harpur College he won the Outstanding Speaker award, and at C.C.N.Y. he receiv~ a trophy for placing second out of approximately 60 speakers. · More lnvitat-io,j,s "Because of last year's success," remarks Miss Rush, "we have been invited to more tournaments this year." Miss Lord, who is directing the organizat ion alone this season, accepts invitations. Varsity debaters already have participated in two tournaments this semester - one at Marywood College in Scranton and another at LaSalle College in Philadelphia. The novice debaters took part in the Lehigh University tournament last Saturday. At the present time Miss Lord has accepted invitations to two other tournaments. On Nov. 22, the varsity crew will travel to Villanova University where they will participate in a two-day "switch" tournament. Here the teams will debate both affirmatively and negatively. On December 6, the novice debaters will journey to Temple University. Besides the increase in tournament invitations, Miss Rush cites the augmented allotment to the Debate Society's budget as a consequence of last year's success. "Once again," Miss Rush believes "the school is beginning to realize the significance of debate." The increasing importance also can be seen in Mr. Kistler's working experience of this past summer. He reports that "industry shows decidedly more interest in debating than in any other activity." Mr. Kistler feels that " debating is more beneficial to a college than is any other competitive event." Expounding his concept is Mr. Frankel : "In one tournament the debate teams encounter in competition as many colleges as the athletic clubs meet in their entire season. Public relations are very extensive." Miss Rush interjects that "debating adds to the prestige of a college by providing opportunities for the dissemination of campus history, views, and activities. The College name is becoming more and mart known and respected among the many institutions competing in tournaments." "Intellectual fame is better than athletic fame," concludes Mr. Kistler. Personal Benefits Many personal benefits also can be derived from debating. Mr. Tredinnick joined the organization to improve his speaking ability before entering the ministry and to become better acquainted with political affairs. Two Problems of Nonviolent Resistance Explained at Student Assembly by MiMi Wilson MLLE MAG BOARD MEM It's time to drift to sleep in the dorm in long pajamas for that midwinter night's dream, or, if you please, a night shirt for those visions of sugar plums. Long pajamas are a natural for sleeping. They cover you up softly and loose ly which makes for some of the best dreams going. Greet the sandman in a pair of white batiste pajamas delicately trimmed with white lace and blue satin threading. A classic way to fall .is_leep is in long pajamas with soft blue bottoms which blend becomingly w ith the tiny blue flowers scattered on the pajama top which shows a mandarin collar. Satin cord outlines the collar, cuffs, and pockets. The college gal loves nightshirts because they're comfy and give freedom of movement. One selection is a pink and white stripe nightshirt. But it doesn't stop there. It's cuffed in green and white check and collared in blue and white polka dot. Cute little pink and white stripe pants accompany the nightshirt. The college gal might look anything but sleepy in a gray and wh ite stripe nightshirt. It's ripe as harvest time with bright pieces of fru it strewn in frivolous fashion . For that final touch of bright color the nightshirt revels in red trim and shows tiny bows atop the shirt tail slits. To greet that unexpected caller enter in a floor length hostess robe of arnel triacetate and nylon in American beauty red. The cuffs and collar are edged in satin. It is waisted in front but not in back. by Linda Edwards Mrs. Edward Schechter yesterday addressed an assembly sponsored by the senior class. Mrs. Schechter is the authoress of The Peaceable Revolution, a book dealing with the problem of segregation. In it, she offers her solution to this pressing problem-nonviolent resistance. She feels that this idea would be acceptable to young adults for a variety of reasons. One is that with the Negro protest movement a vital part of American history is unfolding before they could better see its meaning and their eyes and, knowing its background, feel its excitement. Another of her reasons is that a new breed of heroes has emerged from the nonviolence resistance movement in the United States and these heroes are younl(. In their endeavors they are peacefully displaying the idealism, patriotism, and willingness to sacrifice and suffer for a just cause that all young Americans fee l. Thirdly, Mrs. Schechter believes that this story of nonviolence points up the power of ideas at a time when reliance on material strength threatens to overshadow everything else. She presents to her readers this story of nonviolent resistance, a method of fighting oppression and injustice that matches courage and goodwill against overwhelming odds - and wins. In a world where men stand in frightened awe of their own terrible weapons, Mrs. Schechter believes that the Peaceable Revolution may prove that man's capacity to destroy has not outpaced his power to do good. Mrs. Schechter was born and raised in New York City. She attended the Birch-Wathen School, graduated from Smith College in 1942, and for the fol lowing three years worked in the United Nations Information Office. At present she and her husband and their three chi ldren live in Kingston.

Mistichelli, English Dept. Akira Kurosawa's film, The Throne of Blood, is a masterpiece of cinematic craftsmanship. However, as some critics have suggested, the film's success derives from Kurosawa's singular vision of a proud warri or's failure to realize his ambition for power. He shifts the scene of the action from Macbeth's Scotland to sixteenth century Japan during the Singoku civil wars. By changing the setti ng and characters he is able to play out the story in his own terms. He does not give us a Macbeth "too full of the milk of human kindness," who destroys himself by a transgression of his moral principles. Kurosawa's protagonist, Washizu, is a proud Japenese war lord. blinded by an ambition which makes him helpless against the forces at work to destroyhim. Credit must be given also to Asaichi Nakai's photography. The film's theme which centers around man's quest for power is kept vivid in the viewer's imagination by a series of scenes in which screaming warriors and their powerful steeds thunder across the bleak countryside. Nakai carves out a setting essentially stark and primitive to blend with the emotions of the characters. Even the gestures of the actors, stylized no doubt after the manner of Japanese classical drama. reinforce the picture of violence. Toshico Mifune in the part of Washizu goes through his movements as though he were performing some ritualistic dance in defiance of his predicament, his eyes pierci ng and his teeth clenched. Falls Short of Tragedy Despite its awesome power, however, Kurosawa's story comes short of tragedy. Though his protagonist fall s from a position of hol)or to disgrace, he does not possess a nature grand enough to stir the audience's feelings of pity and fear. The tragic hero must claim a superior nature and must be able to relate to the audience the signifcance of his terrible destiny. Though Washizu represents a formidable hero, he is inarticulate. At times he reacts to his misfortunes like a ranting maniac. The remorse he suffers after having murdered the lordship of Forest Castle goes little beyond exped iency, since he is troubled primarily with his failure to successfully seize power. It is fitting, to compare Washizu's motives with those of Macbeth. Macbeth responds to his wife's plea to kill Duncan only partly from ambition. He feels compelled to fill the shoes she has made for him. In Macbeth we have the case of a superior man motivated by a great pass ion. He bends to the will of his wife even if it means overstepping the bounds of his conscience. After his transgression his love cracks and he is t 11rown into a void he cannot endure. Because he has known the glories of a noble life he is equipped to tell us wliat it means to fall from greatness. When Macbeth calls life"a walking shadow" and "a tale told by an idot" we realize that he is no longer able to di scern the figures of the spiritual world that once governed his soul. This is the same man feared before the murder that Duncan's virtues would Cue and Curtain to 'Present Audience With Experiement in Field of Drama by Charlotte W etzel The College thespians are once a feeling such as this is not justified." again preparing to present its audStarring in Pirandello's play are iences with an experiment in the field Mary Russin and Marc Hirschman. of drama.

He has since become so pitched in darkness that his angels are now shadows and the clear sound of trumpets, the babbling ' of an idiot. The once brisk vision of his imagination has become sinister and blurred. Washizu, on the other hand, along with !-:is ambition for power. murders from motives of suspicion and fear. He becomes a victim of his wife's cunning. She first succeeds in making him suspicious of his friend, Miki (Banquo), and warns him he must kill the lordship of Forest Castle before Miki informs him of the witch's prophecy. She later manages the death of Miki, himself, by working on her husband's fea r that his friend is anxious to secure the throne for his son. The fact that Washizu is tricked by his wife's scheming shows him to be a man whose power lacks both moral restraint and intelligence. Consequently, Washizu's crimes are not so grave as those of Macbeth and do not stain so greatly his intellect and will. His death scene. strikes the keynote of his situation. The emphasis is placed on physical torment. Throughout his agony Washizu remains dumb. He wades throuv,1-i an ava lanche of arrows, grunting like a wounded animal.

The tragic hero's rleath must be more lofty. Because of his superior endurance and his gifted tongue he is able to maintain eloquence in the depths of his suffering. This is what gives him his distinction.

It doesn't seem to bother him at all that this plan would destroy much of the civi lian contro l of the military of which we have always been very proud. As the topper to all of this, according to the senator's statements and voting record, he would also cut off most of our foreign aid program, both economic and military. Assuming Goldwater becomes President and takes all of these steps; where would they leave us? (I) We would have no diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union. (2) We would pull the rug out from under our allies. (3) Our military commanders would, for all practical purposes, have the power to declare war. To me it seems tli at this road can only lead in one dirnction - nuclear war. Conservatives tell us that Goldwater doesn't really mean what he says. They say that he will temper his actions if he becomes President. This does not seem li ke a reasonable argument to me. If we cannot trust Gold-water to keep his word, how can we trust him with the responsibilities of the Presidency? If we take him at his word, it then appears that he will lead us down the path to disaster.

This is the overall feeling of the student body, the faculty, and the football team itself. As can be reflected by the photograph of halfback Frank Wallace to the right, the 1963 football season has been one let down after another. Surely the team had the potential to produce a victorious season with its ample supply of players. Its line, although somewhat weakened due to graduation losses, performed admirably throughout the season. Its backfield contained a more than adequate number of fine players. The coaching staff, as all will agree, is one of the finest Wilkes has seen in many years. Yet something was lacking that proved to be the downfall of t1-ie Colonels; spirit, morale, cohesion - possibly. We must recognize, of course, the fact that injuries greatly hampered the efforts of the Colonels. The Colonels dropped the season's opener to the Dutchmen of Lebanon 1P In the second grid contest the Colonels were overpowered in the Parent's Day thriller by the Moravian Greyhounds. Taking an early lead the Colonels stalled on several occasions later in the game to drop a close 14-10 decision to the visitors from Bethlehem. Against P.M.C. the gridders were stopped again in a hard fought contest that ended in a tight 15-12 defeat. Despite the efforts of fullback Ed Comstock, who produced a 52 yard touchdown run, the Colonels once again succumbed in a close decision. The Colonel gridders gained their initial victory of the season against 3 losses, by downing the Ursinus Bears 28-8. With fullback Gary Popovich and halfback Paul Purta accounting for all four Wilkes touchdowns the gridders exhibited an extremely strong running game to produce their first win. In the annual homecoming tilt the Colonels were downed by Drexel Tech despite a brilliant 67-yard TD run by quarterback Tom Trosko. With several key players on the injured list the ~~l~~~lsDfa~ l~ ~o l~c~t c~h~~~~i~~r Colonels were _unable to hal~ the Dragattack in a contest which resulted in on attack wh,ch resulted m a 23-14 a 13-6 loss. defeat. 0 Road Runners ~own Barre, 26-0, To Capture Intramural Crown Wilkes dropped their 5th game of the season by losing a bruising contest to the Juniata Indians. Hampered by an injury jinx which claimed many outsta nd ing players the Colonels again failed to reign victorious as they fell to Juniata by a score of 7-6. The Delaware Valley contest saw the Colonels produce a 19-13 victory in which Ted Travis-Bey scored two touchdowns. ;fhe Aggies almost retaliated to prevail due to two miscues that almost resulted in another Wilkes' defeat. In the final contest of the gr id campaign the Colonels were triumphant as they downed Haverford 14-0. Both touchdowns were scored in the second quarter. Quarterback Tom Trosko took a Haverford punt on the 23 and raced 77 yards down the sidelines for the score. Good blocking, especially a key one by halfback Frank Wallace, cleared the way for the score. In the final minutes of the first half, Wilkes marched 60 yards in a drive that featured a brillant aerial attack. With the ball on the four yard line Ted Travis-Bey bolted the remaining distance for the tally. BARONS CAGERS EMBARK ON 1963 - 64 CAMPAIGN; FEATURE LOCAL TALENT by Don DeFranco The Eastern Basketball League opens its 18th season tomorrow with a full slate of four games. This year the loop has expanded to eight teams, Wilmington being the newest franchise. The Wilkes-Barre Barons, local representative to the league, travel to Williamsport on Saturday to battl e the Billies, and return home on Sunday for a game with the Scranton Miners. Fans will see an almost compl etely new team this year, as only three former Barons are returning from last year's squ ad: Bob Keller, T ed Luckenbill, and Eddie Simmons. Howie Montgomery and Jack Johnson, stellar performers on last year's squad, have gone on tour with the wor ld famous Harlem Globtrotters. General manager, John Solovey, and coach Chic Craig have once again succeeded in signing some top-flight personnel, such as Jim Buckhalter, a 6'7" fo rmer Globetrotter who also played with the Cincinnati Royals of the NBA; center prospect Bob Wollard, a 6' 10½" giant obtained in a trade from Wilmington; and Jerry Nixon, jump shot artist from Lincoln University. Two area cage products have also inked to play with the local club. Clark Mosier of Dallas, is one and the other is Gene Gaurilia, released this season by the Celtics. The Barons have dropped two exhibition games as of this writing, bowing to the Williamsport Billies 106103, and to the Scranton Miners 127121. Wilkes-Barre travels to Williamsport tomorrow night for the opener for both teams. Road Runners - Champions of Intramural Football (Left to Right) First row .

Ill PONDERS BALL Ii HOOTENANNY by R ichie Kramer An appeal by members of the accounting club, and suggestions for enhancing two of the college's annual formals were two of the many topics discussed at Tuesday's action-packed meeting of the Student Government. Passing of Librarian, Mrs. Dorothy Molloy, Is Loss To Campus The Accounting Club, represented by Joe Klaips, submitted an argument on S. G.'s decision to award the dance on Freshman Weekend to I.D.C. The Accounting Club contends that it should have been granted the date because it was the originator of the activity, the Freshman Fling. Because of the need for a policy interpretation, the proposal was tabled until next week's meeting at which the S G. members will reach a decision upon it. Andrea Templar proposed to the Student Government that it consider converting the Cinderella Ball into a Formal Viennese Ball. The affair would call for formal attire and would be held off campus, probably at the Irem Country C lub. Sponsored by at least five campus orga ni zations, the Viennese Ball, according to Miss Templar, wou ld give the students a chance to accustom themselves to the act ivities they wi ll encounter after graduation and would be an exciting and interesting experience for all. Jim Jones proposed that the Student Government sponsor an Inter-Collegiate Folk Festival to be held in the Gym on the Saturday followi ng the Christmas fo rm al. This hootenanny, .it is hoped, would create a weekend which would not end on Friday evening after the formal. Although the S. G. members expressed an interest in this event, it was felt that the suggested date would leave too little time for the Mrs ..

SG IDC Continue Budget Dispute; Decision To Be Announced Soon The recent Student CovernmentIDC disagreement over IDC's budget fo r the 1963-64 school year initiated a special meeting of the Student Government Budget Committee last Tuesday morning. George Evancho, president of IDC, discussed a budget figure ad justed from $790 to $460 with the committee members. In their original calculations, Student Government figured IDC's expenses at $440, subtracted $115 of their Morgan expected income from this figure, and offered them a $325 budget. Evancho contended that income producing projects such as the concessions at athletic events and Student Union machines were specifically designed for the support of the foreign orphan and designated for the Agency Fund which is separate from the regular E.C.A. or extra-curricular activities fund. His questioning resulted in the appearance of Jim Jon es and D ick Burns, Student Government Treasurer and Michelini Discusses Education by Ginny Todd Education, that dynamic force which Paralle ling our educational system to is a Child of th e Past and the Father t:iat of other countries, Dr. Michelini of the Future, was the subject of Dr. cited such countries as India, where Francis Micheli ni's ta lk in yesterday's fifteen years of education may yield assembly. on ly ten productive years before death.

LETTERMEN MAKE PLANS FOR TEA 6. XMAS FORMAL Friday, November 15 , 1963 President respectively, at the IDC meeting last week to explain the manner in which the budget was decided. At that t ime, the two groups agreed to re-discuss the matter in another budget committee meeting. l In this re-meeting, Evancho sta\ed the inability of IDC to operate efficiently with the budget tentatively allotted to them. He also commented that many other organizations had received budget increases and that IDC, representing an expandi ng dorm student population, was also entitled to an increase. Jones countered with the statement that only those organizations that showed sufficient need had received additional funds. He further explained that Student Government was ask ing only that IDC apply $100 from its dance date income toward the budget and that any other income may go towards the support of their foreign orphan. Since the budget meeting was only for purposes of di scussion, no decision was made. But Jones pointed out that if IDC re-submitted an adjusted budget request, it would, of course, be considered.

Peace Corps To Students Mr. H oover and Miss Joan Morgan �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Friday, November 15, 1963 Editorials AplltAetic 011/ccke,- VAGUE ••• WITH REASON If this week's story on the JDC-Student Government budg.et d.isagreement seems vague and general, there is a valid reason. We just couldn't plow through the mass of figures to the facts. Realizing the importance of this issue, the BEACON staff o.ttempted to corroborate the "facts" brought out at Tuesday's budget meeting by a check of the fi gures with both sides before the story was released. Three BEACON staff members, all upperclassmim, all familiar with the problem, were equally astonished to find that some of the figures given in this subsequent check not only disagreed with the report from the meeting, but also with each other. As a matter of fact , we are not even really certain of the $460 figure given as the adjusted JDC request. Student Gov.ernment has a. figure of $485 and to confuse matters more, both figures were mentioned by JDC at the budget meeting. In addition, at the time of this printing, both sides differ on whether or not JDC has, in actuality, submitted a new budget request. We are confused and concerned. If after attending meetings and talking with representatives from both sides, we don't know quite what's going on, how does the average student feel. And what's more how can a logical decision come out of this cloud of confusion and innuendoes. Certainly neither Student Government nor JDC want misconceptions circulating about this situation. We've already offered to print any statement of the JDC president who disagreed with some points in our story last week. Student Government is certainly aware that they can clarify their position in our pages. The responsibility for "clearing the air" lies with both organizations. WITH DEEPEST SYMPATHY Th e sudden death of Mrs. D orothy Malloy of our Library staff has saddened not only her colleagues but the student body as well. ' Although Mrs. Malloy was with us for only a year, in this relatively short time, she made many friends through her quiet, .efficient , and always pleasant manner to students and faculty alike. Mrs. Malloy exuded that rare quality - a genuine interest in her fellow human being - which encouraged students to approach her with their problems, confident of their solution as w.ell as of cordial treatment. Her loss will be deeply felt both in her family and on our campus. • 111,e,.e • Manuscript Film - Throne Of Blood - Stark 116 - Tonight, 7 and 9 p.m. Dance - Women's Chorus - Gym - Tonight, 9 to 12 p.m. Football - Wilkes vs. Haverford - away - Saturday, 1 :30 p.m. Dorm Party - !DC-Commons, 2nd floor-Saturday, 9 to 12 p.m. Debate - Wilkes at Lehigh - Lehigh University - Saturday.

All opinions expressed by columnists and special writers including letters to the editor are not necessarily those of this publication but those of the individuals. - Jack Hardie Olsen Schroeder Thought for the W eek "A word to the wise is too often accepted at face value." At the present time a petition is circulating on campus asking that the Wilkes College Student Government reconsider its official acceptance and endorsement of the local CORE chapter on grounds that CORE is "political" in its organization and purpose and not strictly a "collegiate" activity. Would it not be somewhat humorous, we ask, if some one enterprising student were to circulate a petiti9n advocating the abolition of Student Government itself because of its political nature? It is true that the politics of S. G. pertain essentially to matters of the campus, but what, however is the function of this organization? Pragmatically, S. G. is a sort of undergraduate internship for Polit ical Science majors, ev"e n though every other student who feels so di sposed may also fling himself and his interests into the fray. This manner of student activity is undertaken, we point out, merely because it's " fun ," because its "something to do," and because it is one way to waste time which might be spent in the library. The functions of S. G., we declare, might easily and more effeciently be taken over by the Administration. Non Compulsory Assemblies! What Do Those Students Think They Are ... Adults? (Continued on Page 4) RANTS 'n RAVES ASSEMBLIES CANNOT FORCE CULTURE by Alis Puc ilow ski and Jeff Gallet Is compulsory assembly achieving its purpose of broadening the cultural background of the student body? We think not. We feel compulsory assembly is failing for various specific reasons, among which is the fact that the assembly programs provide entertainment for specific interest groups, not for the student body as a whole. We offer as an example, last year's program concerning recent biological discoveries. We are not arguing that this program was not effec tive. We are simply pointing out that if any particular department desires to bring a speaker to the campus, the program should be limited to a voluntary attendance lecture. Secondly, the assembly programs are loosely controlled and organized. Last year, the program list for the year was distributed at the beginning of the fall semester. A study of this list indicates that more than half of the programs were providing entertainment already available to the student body. For example, the program includ ing scenes and songs from Cue a nd Curtain's production of The Music Man could be seen simply by attending the show. by MiMi Wilson MLLE MAG COLLEGE BOARD MEM Step up to high fashion in the leather look which is distinctly yours in genuine, soft, supple, suede coats. A full length coat in pink suede is pastel pretty. Piping trim and buttons in black leather provide a pleasing contrast. Style notes include deep side slits and three quarter length cuffed sleeves. Another version of the leather look is a taupe suede coat with luxurious natural mink collar. Fashion high points include the drop shoulder, covered buttons, and wedding ring collar. Suede is a go everywhere fabric. It goes to school, it follows your career faithfully, it travels, and it dates. A motor coat is a must in every girl's wardrobe this Fall. Ideal for days when you just don't feel like wearing a full length coat or for winter sports events. White wool always performed well but it rates a standing ovat ion when its scarf and lining are color mated in a bright red plaid. Favorite style notes include long sleeves and huge pockets as well as the ease of movemert an unfitted coat affords. Example of Ineffi ciency As an examplt of the assembly committee's inefficient policies, we cite the recent I.C.G. program. Last spring, I.C.G., as all other interested organizations, submitted a request for an assembly date. The club asked for a date in early fall so that it might obtain a national political figure to speak in reference to the elections held November 5. While a program was guaranteed, the specific date had not yet been set by the end of the semester. The club was asked to inquire again in July. When I.C.G. did so, it was informed that precise dates had not as of yet been set, and was told to inquire again in September, which it did. I.C.G. was told three weeks beforehand that it had finally been given a definite date. This left an insufficient amount of time to procure the intended national figure. The third reason accounting for the ineffectiveness of the compulsory assemblies is that the College does not have the funds to provide interesting programs each week. As a so luti on to this problem, we offer the course taken by our neighboring college, King's. As is evidenced in a recent dean's bulletin, King's College has rearranged its assembly programs because of problems sim il a r to ours. King's Syste m King's has initiated a system whereby th ere are eight assembly programs a year, two of which must be attended by the student body as a whole. The new system also requires a particular class to attend one other assembly program. For example, the assembly program held today must be a ttended by juniors; the program being held in February must be attended by sophomores. Thus, of the eight assembly programs, two are compulsory, two are voluntary, and four are designated for specific classes, though they do not excl ude those who desire to attend. Should one decide to cut a compulsory assembly, he would receive one cut for each class he has scheduled that day. We feel thi s is a fair policy, and that it or a reasonable facsimile should be adopted at Wilkes. 'BEACON' CONDUCTS STUDENT SURVEY ON SUBJECT OF COMPULSORY ASSEMBLY by Bill Kanyuck As a result of queries ori compulsory assembly, the BEACON has conducted a survey to determine the students' opinions on this subject. The gen era l opinion of the student body seem s to be that the program s can be improved by in ten s if icd attention given to few er programs. SuE WIEGEL, JUNIOR: "If it were worthwhile, I'd !(O. There should be one good program once or twi ce a month." CAROL MENEGUZZO, JUNIOR: " It is the most insulting thing imposed on students. There is no purpose. If it is supposed to entertain and educate us, how can it do so with someone who is not rece ptive every Thursday at 11 a.m. Instead of thirty programs, there should be four good programs." AL GILBERT, JUNIOR: "There should be one good assemb ly once a month or every few weeks." MR. GunN, ENGLISH DEPARTMENT: "The idea of having all students assemble periodically is a good one, I think, for promoting a sense of unity; but it is the ob li gation of the college to make such assembli es worthwhile and their content significant and interesting. To meet for the sake of meeting is not enough." GEORGE EVANCHO, SENIOR: " I am against it. Some are educational and some a ren't. College stud ents should have a choice of the assemblies they attend. These assemblies should provide social and academic betterment." JOHN LOUGHNEY, FRESHMAN: "Assembly which is compulsory is as outdated as the Middle Ages. In reality, assembly should be, for whatever it does accomplish, limited to once every three or four weeks and even then should not be com pulsory. In eight assemblies there have only been three worthwhile programs, the stage plays, the debate,. a nd the speaker who couldn't attend." WALTER F. DEXTER, SENIOR: " I think that the problem with compulsory assemblies is not that they are compulsory, but rather that they are, as a general rule, lousy assemblies.

T o make the Class of '67 all the fr e$hmen want it to be, th e person al partici pation of every member of the class is essent ial. Each student should play an acti ve part in all class acti vities and should support th e decisions of the cl ass when they have been made. T he members of the class should feel free at all times to a pproach any or all of the offi cers with new ideas or com plai nts. The offi cers are the representat ives of the class and their duty is to carry out the wishes of the class as a whole. O ur class should have a UNITY th at prev ious classes lacked. The confl ict between the day students and th e dorm students is detrimental to the effi ciency and spirit of the class. This can be ove rcome with the help of officers who will work closely with both day and dorm students and their committee chairm en, whose projects are of interest to both groups so that by continuous cooperation between both factions the conflict would eva porate and all freshmen would find pride in the class as a whole. If I am elected president of the class of '67, my goa ls will be to solve the two pro blems I have outlined (personal apathy and th e day studentdorm student confl ict ) and to improve the class in all its aspects so that the fres hm en ca n profit from the enj oyment of a close-kn it, smoothly funct ionin g government."

Many other colleges use these cards and there is no reason why we shouldn't. Another thing we could do is attend all athleti c events as a class whenever possible, promoting uni ty and spirit. T o accent this movement, I fee that we should h ave a pennant with a class symbol such as a coat of arms. W e could take thi s pennant to all athl etic events.

M arie Shutlock �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, November 1.s , 1963 Cox Checkmates Campus In Commons IMG Seeks To Fulfill Democracy; Offers In-Service Training Page 4 by Helen Dugan The time: 12 noon. The place: Second floor of the cafeteria, but right now it has a greater resemblence to New Year's Eve in New York City as seen by the guy on the bottom. Competing with the screams, chomps, slurps, and crashes, a muffled sound makes its way from a distant corner. After a few more meager attempts to be heard, the speaker lets out with a bellowing, "CHECKMATE" (ya all); and Dr. Harold Cox reigns once again as chess champ. This is a common Friday scene (or should I say-Friday's Commons scene?). From Market to Ross Street people have heard of these famous chess games; and by now word must have leaked into the condemned area of King's College. Meanwhile back in the Caf, spectators are eagerly waiting for some brave person to step forward and attempt to match his wit with that of Dr. Cox. Finally a shy little chess player slowly makes his way towards the table. As the game starts, Dr. Cox has a smug, self-confident smile on his lips. As the game progresses, it becomes more exciting. It is inspiring to watch such a gifted chess player in action. Dr. Cox is playing a good game too. After almost an hour of tedious maneuvers, the shy little guy ends victoriously. Thirty -Six Wins In A Row But that was just an 'off' game for Dr. Cox. Since he came to Wilkes he has established a record of thirty-six straigr.t games without a loss. In order to prove his skill, Dr. Cox once played two games at the same time. It was a long hard predicament; but finally two 'checkmates' separated by only a few minutes, rang out. Unfortunately Dr. Cox hadn't said a word. Accounting Club Tours IBM Plant at Endicott Charlotte W etzel Members of the Accounting Club, accompanied by Mr. Chapin, traveled to Endicott, New York, to tour the I. B.M. plant located there. The group departed from Parrish parking lot in six cars. One outstanding feature of the tour was observation of the construction of an I.B.M. machine from the drawing board to the finished product. The group was conducted to the section of the plant where machines are programmed through the specifications of the purchaser, and then are given a thorough going-over. Another facet of automation which the group witnessed was the construct ion of one I.B.M. machine by another through the use of tapes. The accuracy of a machine constructed by a precision process such as this is much greater than one which is built by human beings. Even though automation has progressed this far, the guides emphasize that these I.B.M. machines are only as good as the men who can program them. They also pointed out that while many jobs have become unnecessary due to increased automation, new ones are constantly being created. Photo Enthusiasts To Organize Monday by Marshall Evans A new organization, the Photography Club, is making its debut on campus Monday. The group will welcome all interested students to its organizational meeting in the Chase Photo Lab (Chase Hall Basement) at noon. The only requirements to join are that the person have a camera and an interest in photography. The group also plans to hold a " Miss Seasons Contest" to end in June. Each month four photographers, two each from the Beacon and Amnicola, will select a Miss Month. Photographs of the monthly winners will be presented to the student body for their selection of " Miss Seasons." On Fridays, from 9 to 10, the game room is the history office. That is on floor I ½ in Stark Hall. Dr. Cox says that the first eight steps in chess are the most important. These are also the most fundamental; but it seems that here is where so many students go wrong. "I would like to teach the fundamentals of chess to the students, since so few know them. Also I would like to see a regular time set aside for chess games," Dr. Cox admits. He says his greatest difficulty is finding some one to play against him. So all you brave chess players, and even you chicken hearted ones, scramble down to Stark Hall Fridays from 9-10, or to the Commons from 12-1, and try your skill. This is a CHALLENGE! PIGEONS VS. PEOPLE De Young Is For The Birds by Helen Dugan As everyone knows, there are certain people who are trying to have the pigeons banned from Wilkes-Barre. Mr. Robert De Young, assistant professor of economics, has become very interested in th is situation but isn't choosing sides. He merely stands back, smirking at the whole affair. Whether or not the birds can out last the people is his only concern. The pigeons are on the defensive. They were minding their own business and obeying the law, except for walking on the grass, until some catfancier came along to start trouble. It was then that Wilkes-Barre's peaceful pigeons were changed into frustrated fiends. Professor DeYoung points out, "The pigeon forces are mobilizing. They are training their troops to avoid traps." Humans beware! There is nothing more dangerous than a perturbed pigeon. They sneak up on top of you and .......... ! Professor De Young says, " The Pigeon War is almost over. The casualty lists reads as follows: Pigeons 35, People O." But he believes the pi geons will still win. " The people are Onlooker (Continued from Page 2) "How then," it will be asked, "will students maintain their 'rights' as students?" And What," we ask, "are the rights of students? The students' rights are merely, simply those of taking lecture notes and reading library books. The "student," by word definition, is merely one who studies; this is his vocation. "But without Student Government there would be no Beacon, no Amnicola, no Manuscript, as some few examples." With respect (which we have) for the students in charge of these organizations, we must nevertheless remark that the Beacon is read on Friday mornings and then left to "rot" on cafteria tables; the Amnicola is looked at every five years when the alumnus decides to reminisce a little between Homecomings; the Manu script is appreciated by a very small minority on campus in spite of its attempted creativity. Beacon. Amnicola, Manuscript, and Student Government are merely "valves" by which the over-energetic student "lets off steam." It is not wrong for the "steam" to be allowed to escape; it is necessary; let us, however, channel it into something of lasting good. The turbine is more important than the teapot. This year Student Government was the aggressors; which puts them at a disadvantage ffom the start." But disaster may still be imminent. Word has reached the outside that the pigeons are fighting among themselves and their fighting arena seems to be Professor DeYoung's window sill. He has been known to bet on these pigeon battles. But all students should disregard that last sentence. Professor De Young says, "Betting on pigeon fights is an adult activity and can only lead to the demoralization of a student's mind." This Pigeon War isn't just a local skirmish. It is becoming nation widefirst Wilkes-Barre, now New York City. Authorities in New York say the pigeons are making a mess of the statues in the parks. A well versed comedian, Alan King, has a solution for this problem. He says, " They should get rid of the statues; they're pretty ugly anyway." So the Pigeon War still goes on. As a final thought, Professor De Young says, " Right will be on the side of the stronger force in this crusade." granted a $17,000 budget. Imagine, if you will, what this annual grant would accomplish toward the building of the now-poor selection of our Ii brary's books. More student hours are wasted in extra-curricular activity than the curricular. Too many college graduates cannot spell, cannot read, cannot speak, cannot Think! Students, it seems, would rather live the life of transient, gold-washed, extra-curricular glory than develop any educated taste for art, music, literature, intellect, or life! Did you sign or refuse the petition in the cafeteria or the library? by Charlotte Wetzel The Institute of Municipal Government, under the direction of Dr. Hugo V. Mailey, chairman of the political science department, has engaged in various community services since its inception in 1951. The activities of !MG were supported primarily by the College and by local officials until 1960 when the Ford Foundation granted a substantial sum to help meet the costs of its expanding program. The fundamenta l purpose of the programs of !MG is to "help make American democracy stronger by guaranteeing the semi-autonomous structure of American local government, so long as it can retain the capacity to solve its own problems." !MG intends to fulfill this basic purpose through the improvement of local government and administration in Northeastern Pennsylvania by providing in-service training for local government officials and public employees; by making technical advice, assistance, and research material available to local officials; and through the selfimprovement of local government personnel by assisting and cooperating with other government and community agencies. In accordance with these objectives, !MG offers non-credit, non-degree educational courses for the in-service training of municipal officials. These courses are provided in cooperation with the Public Service Institute, Department of Public Instruction, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Courses Offered Among the courses which are offered this semester are Arson Investigation, Criminal Investigation, Magistrates Criminal Law, and Rural Assessment. Next semester the courses which will be conducted are Fundamentals of Fire Fighting, School Directors, Small Arms, Townsh ip Supervisors, and Youth Control. The courses listed above range in length from 5 to 24 sessions. Instruction is conducted by the members of the Institute staff, supplemented by sPveral guest lecturers. In addition to in-service training, IMG also conducts surveys which provide information concerning problems confronting local government officials. Recently representatives of IMG have begun a survey of the King's College Development Project. The survey is being conducted in cooperation with the Wilkes-Barre Redevelopment Authority and involves a nine acre area of land which will supposedly be used for the construction of a dormitory, student center, and gymnasium. The representatives of: !MG are distributing brochures which explain the project and are securing information to be utilized for the planning. Other projects in which IMG is presently engaged are the Wright Street Project, which concerns an area of land intended to be used for the future expansion of Wilkes College, and a sanitary landfill study which will attempt to bring together the communities of the East Side in a prospective solution to the refuse disposal problem. Mr. Philip Tuhy, educational and research associate of Dr. Mailey, serves as. a part-time planner for the WilkesBarre City Planning Commission. Library Established To provide and supplement its various programs with pertinent information, !MG has established a reference library of contemporary printed material on municipal government. It consists of reports, surveys, studies, and periodicals avai lable for use by public officials. An additional source of information for local officials is the Luzerne Count~ Newsletter published monthly by !MG, It highlights everyday problems of local government and presents the experiences of communities which have successfully overcome such problems. Dr. Mailey attributes the success of !MG "to the government officials and employees who have taken the time and expended the effort to use the facilities which it provides both the studies and the instruction." Survey of forcing eighteen and twenty year old college students to come to these purposeless gatherings is reminiscent of high school days. 'Nuff said." MR. MISTICHELLI, ENGLISH DEPT.: "The students should be allowed to attend the assemblies which they wish to attend. It would be better and more adult if it were optional." CATHY DE ANGELIS, JUNIOR: "Because of the apathy on this campus, assembly has to be compulsory to get the students to attend. However, I would like to see it on a voluntary basis." GAIL D1xoN, SOPHOMORE: "Compulsory assemblies defeat the purpose of the assembly program which is arranged for the enlightenment and enjoyment of the student. If a student is interested, he will go without force." RUTH ScH!MMELBUSCH, SENIOR: "The purpose of the assembly is to provide the student with an interesting form of entertainment which he would not ordinarily be able to provide for himself. However, if the student is not interested in a particular program, why force him to degrade the speaker or entertainer by reflecting only boredom?" STU JED, SOPHOMORE: "It's a necessity; after all you're paying for it." (Cont inued from Page 2) ToM CURRY, FRESHMAN: "Since the main purpose of assembly is entertainment, why not have some?" JoE Auus1, SENIOR: "If not made more palatable, they should do away with them altogether. To begin with, anything that is compulsory goes against the grain." Another popular opinion is that assembly should be held on a voluntary basis. CAROLE MAYER, SOPHOMORE: "They sr.ould be voluntary so that those who go wou ld get more out of it. It is a waste of time, for I've seen students sleeping, studying, and writing letters. The money saved by not holding it every week can be used to get a better program once or twice a month." MARIE PARCELL, FRESHMAN: "The programs are not good. They take up time w)lich might be used for studying. They should be on a voluntary basis." JuuE EVANS, JUNIOR: "Compulsory assemblies are childish and detract from the independence of a mature college student. I fee l as if my high school days are still with me." CARL LoucK, FRESHMAN: "Compulsory assembly in a college is a downright insult to the maturity and intellect of the college student. The idea Debaters Allend Workshop Al Lehigh by Mary Quinn The College debaters recently attended an intercollegiate workshop at Lehigh which focused on the methods of debating, rather than the debatedecision tournaments normally held. The tightly-scheduled day began with three forums, consisting of lectures on the analysis of the proposition, the att itude of the debater, and the efficient approach to debating for maximum beneficial results. Professor Hopkins of Bloomsburg State College and Professor Heisly of Messiah College were the main speakers. The demonstration debate, following the forums, was presented by debaters from Lehigh, for the affirmative team, and from Rutgers, for the negative team. After a luncheon for all the participants, a practice debate between Wilkes and Lehigh students was divided into two rounds and was evaluated by four faculty judges, who gave a critique rather than a decision. In the first round, the Wilkes affirmative speakers were Al Airola and Paul Macko. Paul Bachman and Mark Hamdi took the negative position in the second round. Miss Charlotte Lord, advisor of the college Debating Society, and several other novice and varsity debaters also went to the Lehigh workshop as observers. - �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, November 15 , 1963 Wednesday, December 4, Saturday, December 7 Monday, December 9 Wednesday, December 11 .. ..Tuesday, January 7 Thursday, January 9 Monday, January 13, Wednesday, January 15 Saturday, February I Wednesday, February 5 Saturday, February 8 Monday, February 10 Wednesday, February 12 Saturday, February 15 Tuesday, February 18 Thursday, February 20, Saturday, February 22 Wednesday, February 26, Saturday, February 29 - BASKETBALL Lycoming Ithaca Scranton Dickinson Phila.

Th is game marked the worst defeat of the S(lason for the Colonels, as the Blue Jays turned in a performance indicative of their championship caliber. The win brought Elizabethtown's seasona l record to 10-1, assuring the Blue Jay's a Middle Atlantic Conferrnce, Northern Division Championship.

Ed Brominski took a turn at running the Wilkes attack, and led the Colonels to an early lead on their first series of downs. Wilkes marched 56 yards in a drive which was climaxed by a 9 yard scamper by scatback Ted Travis-Bey. Brominski's kick for the extra point was wide. Delaware Valley bounced back with a drive of their own, which carried the Aggies to the Colonels' 34. At that point, halfback Paul Purta of Wilkes intercepted a Gary Ulrich pass on the one yard line. However, the Colonels could not find running room and were forced to punt after four downs. Travis-B ey Scores Again The Aggies took the punt, but likewise could not move, and punted to the Colonels' 36.

Flood and his supporters contend that stu- dent activity funds should not be used to help finance CORE's programs. The petition which Flood is circu- lat ing reads as follows: We, the unundersigned petition the Student Governm ent to withdraw recognition of the CORE chapter at Wilkes College on two grounds: First, that CORE should not be allowed to use the name of Wilkes College, or Wilk es College Student Government, or the Student Body on the grounds that such would imply that they are endorsed or sup- ported by these groups; Second, that our Student Activities Funds should not be used to support any political group on campus. Flood stated that he and his group are not against integration; they are merely in oposition to the sanctioning of CORE as a campus organization. At the latest report, the petition has been filling rapidly. A tally of the signatures cannot be made at the time of this wri ting due to the fact that the copies of the petition have not been collected. However, Flood reports that the petition has been well received by the student body. His only regret is that many students are not willing to sign their name simply because they are afraid of chastisement from the administration.

Registration Policy Clarified by Jo e Klaips During the past week, there has been a great deal of concern on the part of the student body in regards to the registration procedure which wil be followed during registration for the spring semester. When are we going to be able to register? With whom should we register? What procedure will be followed for registration this time? All of the preceeding questions are valid, and it is believed that each one will be sufficiently answered in the article which follows. Delay in the registration for the spring semester was due primarily to the underestimated length of time required for the administration in research and analysis of each possible registration program for our campus. The adm inistration feels the program which they have set up wi ll be most beneficial for the student body as a whole. During the research period, many tenative ideas 'leaked out' and began circulating throughout the student body. One of these ideas, for instance, was that each student would have to contact his prospective course instructor in order to register for that particular course. This procedure is NOT go ing to be in effect. The following complete informati on on registration plans has superceded all previous ideas. Regis tration Times Announced Registration for the seniors, juniors and engineering students will be held from November 18 - 22. Registration for the sophomores will be December 2 - 6, and freshmen registration wi ll be held from December 9-13. Aside from the fact that the various groups will register at different times, the registration procedure for all groups will be the same. Beginning on Monday, students may pay, at the finance office, a $25 deposit which is a prerequsite to registration eli gibility. After the student receives his receipt, he may go to visit his advisor anytime during the four day period assigned to him. Each student, upon visiting his advisor, will receive a registration Form consisting of three copies and a master schedule of courses being offered, and the day and time during which each class will be conducted. The student will then select the courses and sections which best fit into his schedule, and enter these in his registration form . After the student has his schedule approved by his advisor, he will receive his copy of the form, which will, in effect, be his 'final' sched ule for this spring semester. Schedules to be Mailed The administration will then process and confirm all schedules, so that there won't be any overload in one particular section. Following any necessary minor adjustments as to section, the adm inistration will send to the students a copy of the corrected schedule, along with a bill for the balance of tuition due. The tuition payment deadline will also be an- nounced at the time of billing. This, in general, is the registration system as it wi ll operate. There may still be, however, numerous questions concerning the system. To clear up all problems which the students might have, possible questions will be presented along with the correct answers. It is hoped that this will clear up the situation in the minds of those concerned. A few examples of possible questions are: Q. Will the $25 deposit be applied to our tuition? A. Yes. Q. Why do we have to pay this $25 deposit? A. There are many students who do not plan to return to school next semester. If there were no harder, financial or otherwise, placed upon these students, they would register for the spring semester, causing a great deal of administrative expense to the college. It is believed that the $25 deposit will prevent such registrations. Q. What if I should fail out of school, will m!J $25 deposit be returned? A. Yes, if there is a legitimate reason, the deposit wi ll be returned. Q.What if one fails a course which happens to be a prerequsite for a course for which he has regis tered? A. January 31 has been set aside as the time for all students to make such correct ions with their adv isors. Q. Wh en will copies of the master course sheet, listing courses and times, be available to the students? A. Such schedules should be posted on the bulletin boards on Monday. Q. When will the schedules be processed b!J the administration, and sent to the students? A. At the end of December. Q. Wh!J has this system been instituted? A. After a great deal of research, the administration feels that this will be the best system under which students can register. Q. ls this our final registration? A. Yes.

IDC Dispute Budget A dispute concerning the Inter-Dormitory Council's financial allottment for 1963-64 was the main topic of discussion at the regular IDC meeting last Tuesday. The main participants in this discussion were George Evancho, IDC president; Dick Burns, Student Government president; and Jim Jones, Student Government treasurer. Evancho explained that IDC operates through four separate funds : Student Union Fund, E.C.A. Fund, Dorm Party Fund, and Agency Fund. The E.C.A. Fund is the regular extracurricular activities allotment from Student Government; the Student U nion Fund is for the care and opera- tion of the student union; the dorm party fund is for the operation of nine free dorm parties; and the Agency or Concession Fund is for the foreign orphan and miscellaneous expenses. Evancho further stated that IDC's activities this year would be seriously curta iled for lack of funds due to a small student government allotment He emphasized the need for the full $790 requested to efficiently perform their many functions, "including the sponsorship of the foreign orphan; presenting the Outstanding Dormitory Student awards and academic trophies; sponsoring the annua l Christmas party, the dorm parties, Prospective Freshman Weekend, Hampton Weekend, a stu- dent seminar, a dance at the gym, and concessions at athletic events." Jim Jones took opposition to Evancho's statements and explained why Student Government considered many of the expenses superfluous. He emphasized that only aher careful study of the IDC budget over the last five years and thorough discussion with the council's officers and advisor, had they decided that this year's request, whi ch is double last year's allocation, was excessive. Dick Burns, SG president concurred with Jones and contended that IDC should attempt to finance some of their expenses as do almost all of the other organizations on campus. Burns further contended that IDC should consider applying a greater portion of their income to the E.C.A. Fund rather than channeling almost all of it into the Agency Fund as they have been doing. He also pointed out, that by admin istrative ruling, Student Government is not allowed to support certa in activ ities for which I.D.C. requested money, the largest and most expensive of those being the support of the Greek Orphan. Jones pointed out specific items such as secretary's expenses and various miscellaneous amounts-which did not seem valid _ as well as various incomes - from student Union vending machines and athletic concessions for example that could be used to defray expenses of the council. He emphasized that Student Government has only a lim ited amount of funds to allot to many organizations on campus and that each organization has a duty to contribute as much as possible to its own support. He concluded that the tentative budget figure of $330 might be reconsidered if Evancho and the other officers of IDC would re-meet with the Student Government Budget Committee and intraduce new facts to justify their request. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Friday, November 8, 1963 EDITORIAL SAY - TO GIVE OR NOT TO GIVE THE QUESTION ABOUT THAT STORY ••• We changed the "look" of the BEACON last week, with both the drought and constitutional revision coverage, in blithe confidence that our readers would understand our meaning and appreciate it. by Barbara Graytok This is the last Chance. The deadline is five today. At that time, the United Fund campaign will conclude for this year. During the hours remaining, the multitude of procrastinators attend ing this College may flock to the campaign chairman of their respective class and donate any amount they can afford. But we've gotten enough comments like, "Gee, you must have been really short on news last week to use those big, front page fillers," to shake our confidence. Obviously we haven't made our point, so let's try it again. We intend ,to broaden the scope of our content to more accurately parall.el the scope of our readers' interests. We qre writing for the "compleat" reader whom we define as one who is concerned with the local and international scene as well as with the activities of his school. The tlay students, especially, should harken . to this plea because they are aiding their neighbors by contributing. Yet, the commuting students are lax in their responsibility to help others and are allowing the "burden" of contributing to fall on the shoulders of the dormitory students who will reap no benefit from the drive. Even though our main function is to report on school news, we cannot validly ignore the other facets of a student's existence without adding another link to the chain which of ten encircles and isolates that strange creature called the college student. In short, drought and constitutional revision were placed on page one purposefully. A glance at exchange newspapers from the top coll.ege press organizations throughout the U.S. will reveal that we are not alone in this view .

This is not true; the money, in most cases, would be a loan, not a grant, and it would be fully repaid. The student would be able to borrow up to $l000 a year, but the average amount would probably be $600. This is not enough to suport a college student; he would have to supplement his loan in some way, probably by part-time work. Another point brought up and discussed at length was the plan of not granting a loan to a student until his sophomore year. Under the present proposed amendment, freshmen would not be eligible for this aid. The advantages and disadvantages were examined, and it was agreed that freshman loans should be granted. The freshmen dance kicked off the campaign last month. Since then students in each class have solicited donations and during the past week, a box covered with blue and gold has been in the cafeterias from 11-1 so that anyone could deposit his change. Yesterday at assembly, a canister was passed around for donations. Besides these attempts, contributions were collected from the four class treasuries and from the overtwenty clubs on campus. Everyone has certain ly had the oportunity to contribute, yet the response so far has been disheartening. At the onset of the campaign, a goal of $1200 was set for Wilkes College. This amounts to less than one dollar per person. But in a month, only a few kind-hearted souls have managed to part with some money to help others. This implies that the rest of the student body has been without even an extra penny for a whole month. The best point is that the results are not final yet. Students still have an opportunity to redeem themselves. With the donations of these procrastinators, the campaign will at least go over the half way point and be successful. In this, however, we find ourselves confronted with the problem that (sad to confess) only an insignificant number of college students actually read books. Were this not so, viz., actually true, we might find it in ourselves to make witty little comments about recently published novels, like Salt, for example, " that it be read with the proverbial grain," or that Lord of the Flies is breaking all precedent, drawing readers in swarms with its cynically social "vinegar." As the situation stands, however, the Onlooker finds itself confined to that rare classification of book which no student on campus reads (book reviews are written to spark interest) , but which a good majority of students are supposed _to read. We will therefore turn our interest to that fine volume, now running into its fourth edition, American Education by Chris A. DeYoung. Because this book, a textbook, is written for the individual who will eventually teach high school, it is, of course, written on the high school level and is then most naturally the book that would more efficiently appeal to the average college student, viz., the student of the average college. The book is well constructed, it has wide margins; there is no thought which is not repeated at least twice, viz., two times; and there is a wonderfully wide assortment of illustrations (textbook writers are paid by the page). In Chapter One there are twenty-four large, easy-to-see pictures in its twentyseven pages; Chapter One should appeal to those students who did poorly in Freshman Composition, viz., English 101. ism, consisting of skin, bones, muscles, nerves, glands, organs of special sense, and a digestive system, working independently." When the reader has managed to comprehend such a philosophy he will find that he is also able to define almost any living mammal, and can therefore assume that dogs, cats, and even aardwolves are also the pupils which Mr. DeYoung discusses. To prevent such confusion, however, the author has brilliantly included an One of the main features is a small entire chapter on " Pupils," Chapter but useful Glossary in the back of the Ten, to clarify the subject, an excellent book.

Dr. Holden, who did hi s undergraduate work at Brooklyn, N .Y. and hi s graduate work at Alfred University, Alfred, N.Y., is residing in WilkesIlarre with his wife and his four and a half month old son. Before receiv ing his Ph.D. in Physics. Dr. Holden worked for one year at Westinghouse Electric as a physicist. He also taught at Alfred University while working toward his Ph.D. degree. At present, aside from teaching at Wilkes College, Dr. Holden and Dr. Detwil er are engaged in solid state research for the U.S. Air Force. Working under contract to the Aeronautical Research Laboratory, Wright-Patterson A.F.B., Dayton, Oh io, Dr. Holden and Dr. Detwiler are doing research on internal fricti on in non-metalic solids. Dr. Holden's non-scient ific interests include the appreciation of music, literature, and painting. Dostoyevsky, Shakespeare, Goethe, and Thomas Wo lfe are included among Dr. Holden's favorite authors. Baroque pieces by Bach and Handel are Dr. Holden's favo rite musical select ions. Preferring modern or abstract art to classical art, Dr. Holden mentions Picasso and Feininger as two of his favorite painters.

T h is intercollegiate conference had as its domi nant theme the goals, needs and responsibilities of American higher educat ion with the subsi d iary theme br in~ civil rights. The two delegates parti cipated in lectures and discussion grou ps centered around these topics. The Conference attracted approvi matedly 125 students from colleges and universities from such geographical York and Atlant ic Christian College, t'xtremes as Hofstra University, New North Carolina. The presence of such a varied group enabled the continual excha nge of ideas and information among the members of the group. matically, Dr. H olden stated that he doesn't look at physics or mathematics with a strictly utilitarian outlook. "Mathematics and sciences are themselves beautiful structures, as a building might be beautiful; and, in this sense, they might have an aesthetic quality," said Dr. Holden. Dr. Hold en's future plans include helping to build an active research center at Wilkes and also working toward esta blishing a Ph.D. program on campus. In order · to acquaint interested individuals with the Peace Corps and its operation, Miss Joan E. Morgan, program coordinator of the Peace Corps in Puerto Rico, wi ll be on the campus Tuesday, November 12. The agenda for Miss Morgan's visit is as fo llows: from 9-10 a.m., she will be in Mr. Arthur Hoover's office at Chase Hall; from 10-11 a.m. she will visit a class, after which there wi ll be a meeting open to the entire studer:it body and faculty at Stark 116 during. :the activity period, 11 a.m - 12 p.ln. At noon Miss Morgan will be generally available during luncheon in the Commons. At 1 p.m. she wi ll attend a class in Economic History in Parrish 35 and then a Political Science 100 class at 2 in Stark 11 6. The last stop wi ll be a coffee hour in the Commons from 3-4. This schedule has been ar- ranged for Miss Morgan by Mr. Hoover along with Allen Gubanich, Allen Gilbert, and Bob Dietz, presi dents of the senior, junior, and sophomore classes, respectively. At the general meeting during the activity period, 11-12, Miss Morgan will discuss the Peace Corps program and answer questions. Students may have their minds cleared on such subj eels as th e selection of volunteers, training, term of service, question of the draft, vacations, health care, taxes, insurance, student loans, etc. Miss Morgan is a 1956 graduate of Mary Washington College, Fredericksburg, Va. She received her M. Ed. degree from the University of North Carolina in 1958. Her major course of study was Spanish, which she taught for several years before joining the Peace Corps staff as program coordinator at Camp Cozier, Puerto Rico, in 1963. She traveled in Mexico as a studen t from June to August, 1959. DEBATORS GAIN RECOGNITION IN LASALLE TOURNAMENT The College debaters brought back a record of fou r wins out of ten rounds of argument from the recently held LaSalle Invitational Varsity Debate tournament. Four varsity debaters entered the competition as quests of the Gavel Society. Controverting the proposition that "the Federal Government should guarantee an opportunity for higher education to all qualified hi gh-school graduates" were Rosemary Rush, first negative speaker, and James Tredenni ck, second negative speaker. In defeating Mt. St. Vincent's, Middlebury College, and Temple University, the pair won three rounds of debate. The first speaker for the affirmative team was Douglas Kistler.

EDITORIAL LET'S DO IT BY CONVENTION The Pennsy lvania Constitution prevents the growth of industry, obstructs the attainment of judicial excellence, binds the executive to outmoded methods, and makes the legislature non-representative. These are just some of the problems caused by our basic document. The constitution was writt.'.m in 1874 as a result of the Civil War. It was written specifically for that period and is not adequate for our present age. Governor Scranton has said, " I feel very strongly that our state constitution is outmoded for the type of life that we hewe in the United States today and in Pennsylvania, particularly. I do think that it should be revised and very generally . My personal preference would be for a constitutional convention." In the Minor ity Report of the Pennsylvania Commission on Constitutional Revision, his opponont in the last election, Richardson Dillworth, and Miss Genevieve Blatt concurred in saying, "Our constitution is utterly inadequat.e. We urge that the legislature provide the necessary machinery for a general revision of the constitution rather than for piecemeal amendments." How may the constitution b.e improved? One method is amendment, but this is slow. I t takes at least three years to pass one amendment. Only a small number of amendments are consider.ed by the legislature, and, of these, very few are able to pass both houses of the legislature twice and reach the ballot. The W oodsid.e Commission on Constitutional Revision stated in its report that THE CONSTITUTION NEE DS 123 AMEND MENTS - 33 OF T HEM CRIT ICALLY! This is in addition to the more than 60 that have already been passed. We must make a basic choice; shall we patch up our constitution a little bit at a time or call a convention to write a document applicable to our modern society. We feel that the latter course is preferable. Former Governor Lawrence in discussing revision by amendment said, "Amendmt~nts, after all, have a way of becoming quite specific and enormously detailed - and if there is one thing Pennsy lrnnia's constitution does not need, it is more detail. Then , too, there is a natural tendency toward wordiness when documents are being amended piecemeal - and the constitution is verbose enough already." A convention, on the other hand, would provide a method by which the whole document could be re-evaluated and re-written. It would offer the people of Pennsylvania a fast , efficient, democratic method to chang.e their constitution. The convention method has been endorsed by both major political parties and specifically by Governor Scranton, Senators Clark and Scott, and former Governors Fine, Lawrence, and Leader. On November 5, we urge you to vote YES for a constitutional convention. J. H . G. Vol. XXV//1 , No. 7 WILKES COLLEGE, WI LKES-BARRE, PENNA.

Assembly Enlightens Student Body On Problem of Constitutional Revision by Virginia Todd Pennsylvania, hampered by a postCivil War Constitution that has earned such epithets as "poor," "doddering," "obsolete," "wasteful," "inadequate," has realized the need for improvement for the past number of a century. However progress in constitutional revision has been retarded by various proposals for diverse methods of revision. Representatives of organizations favoring the two most popular methods, revision by constitution and revision by amendment, debated the merits of their respective methods in yesterday's assembly. Intercollegiate Conference on Government sponsored the assembly, which presented Attorney Reynold Kosek, in favor of constitutiona l revision by amendment, and Attorney Stanley Brockman, in favor of revision by constitutional convention. Recent Ruins Offer No Relief For Drought-Plagued Eastern Penna. No relief is in sight for drought-plagued Northeastern Pennsylvania. The United States Weather Bureau S tation at the Scranton -Wilkes-Barre Airport stated that the effect of the recent rains has been, for all practical purposes, negligible. The rains, it seems, have done little more than settle the dust; the problem persists. According to a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Game Commission, Mr. Stephen Kish, all hunting and fishing and entry into state forests is prohibited. He said the water table is dropping, but there is no danger as yet to wildlife. As of now there is no plan for refund of hunting fees for the 1,000,000 hunters in th e state, but if the ban Varsity Debaters To Compete In LoSolle Tournament this Afternoon At l 0:00 a.m. this morning, four vars ity debaters departed for LaSalle College, 20th and Olney Avenue, Philadelphia.

SPORTS CAR ENTHUSIASTS PLAN CAMPUS ORGANIZATION by Marshall Evans "Tonneau-coverl" "Independent rearsuspension!" "Quad overhead camshafts!" Have you overheard students on campus discussing such subjects? If so, no doubt you have wondered what such things were. These terms pertain to sports cars, and the students who use these terms are either sports car owners or sports car enthusiasts. Over the past few years sports car sales in the United States have been rising rapidly. The influx has also shown on the Wilkes campus for there are many proud sports car owners here. Because of th e increased interest in sports cars, some of these proud owners are forming a sports car club on campus. Douglas Haughwaut is one of the students trying to organize such a club. Douglas explained that the group not only welcomes owners of sports cars, but they would also like owners of other types of ca rs to join their group. The main object of the group is to form a team and to enter their cars in competition as a group. Locally, the sanctioned contests are held at Zayre's in East End on Sun- continues, the hunting season will probably be extended. Kish said that he was pleased with public cooperation on this matter. Although experts disagree, it has been estimated that approximately three inches of rain during a short per iod would alleviate the problem. No Imminent Danger Mr. Rulison Evans, of the Pennsylvania Gas and Water Company, stated that there is no imminent danger of water shortage, but he advised discretion in its usage. He said, "Use all the water you need, but don't waste it." Dr. Potter, of the Pennsylvania Department of Health, reported to the Beacon that some Pennsylvania cities have been forced to use secondary supplies of water because their primary water sources have dried up. He also stated there is no other danger to health as a result of the situation. Mr. Louis Trax, of the Wilkes-Barre Fire Chief's office, stated that there has been a disproportionate jump in the number of brush fires in the city for the month of October. He reminds the public that there should be no burning of trash or leaves because of the obvious danger of these activities under drought conditions. A spokesman for the Wilkes-Barre Park Department announced that city parks will remain open to the public as usual, but no fires will be allowed, and the public is cautioned to use care when smoking or using matches. day afternoons. In the competitions there are several classifications for different types of sports cars and regular cars. The competition consists of speed trials through an obstacle course. The best tim e of each classification wins the race within his group. The group hopes to have badges, which are being designed by Jan Pethick, by November IO when they plan to enter a team in competition at Zayre's. Anyone interested in obtaining more information about the group, or anyone wishing to join the group should contact Douglas Haughwaut. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 EDITORIAL Friday, November 1, 1963 I WOULD HAVE G.

ARE We are gladdened by the death of a very good friend, a friend who in these arid weeks offered us many cathartic experiences. He succumbed in New York, Oct. 18, 19, and 20. His lingering illness was due to his altruistic desire to be heard. Unfortunately, he was misunderstood. People thought his only concern was for those who took him to dinner, those who enjoyed reading his mail, and those who lovingly put him to bed every Tuesday night. Now, he sleeps the sleep of the down-trodden apostle. Du-e to the recent Associated Collegiate Press Conference, the editors who attenqed have decided to formally announce the death of the old BEACQN and the birth of the new. This conception, mothered by Necessity, indirectly gave rise to a new philosophy, Beaconism. The adherents, called Beaconites, have postulated their own commandments: I. We promise to take a firm stand on all issues brought to our attention that are of vital importance to the student body. 2. We promise to present a wider range of articles that are of interest not only to the student body, but to the student body as individuals interested in world events. 3. We will ENTHUSIASTICALLY support those events which have as their genuine purpose student unity. At this conference, we discovered that there are three major problems on almost all campuses; namely, apathy, parking space, and cafeteria food. Since these problems are so "world-wide", we have decided to "define" them. We intend to dismiss the first, apathy, by working from the point of view that THERE IS NO APATHY ON CAMPUS. When this editor questioned people as to whether or not they were apathetic, all said no emphatically. Therefore, if no one deems himself "that way", then "it" does not exist! Intricate Persian Rugs Add Oriental Aura To Weckesser by Leona Sakash With the aquisition of Weckesser Hall the College also acquired a number of very valuable oriental rugs. Their worth is quite difficult to determine precisely, but if a tenative guess would be helpful in judging their significance, Dr. Michelini surmised that they could range from fifty to a hundred thousand dollars. When some of the people of Weckesser were queried concerning the rugs, the responses varied from deep appreciation of their beauty and workmanship to Joanne Zuchoski's remark, "Actually, I didn't know we had any," and Margaret Gallagher's practical However, the case is different with the other two problems. comment, "They slip." esser are of the Kerman class. These carpets are characterized by their light surroundings. The Chinese carpets are distinguished by their clearness and simplicity and especially by their wide, free, background spaces when contrasted with the tight concise design of the Persian rugs in Weckesser. The prevailing background color is yellow and the carpet in Dr. Farley's office substantiates this generalization. This particular carpet has, superimposed on its lemon background, rose, pink, and purple geometrically-styled vases and flowers spaced at regular intervals. Since there seems to be no alternative solution, we are literally Oriental rugs generally have been "stuck" with them.

Those who wish to rant or rave don't necessarily have to sign their names to the articles, but should. reach the zenith of perfection in their employment of various combinations of subtleties of color and in their hues which were not even attempted by craftsmen of other countries. These subleties and combinations were harmoniously resolved throughout the carpet's design. We hope that students take advantage of these changes, instead of sitting in the caf and discussing "what's wrong with this place." As college students we must take a step forward.

'How'd it Gogh?' we asked. 'There!' accused John, 'Why can't you say things like that in The Onlooker? You don't even rai se laughs in the cafeteria on Fridays anymore; nobody likes a crusader; c'mon down off it, you guys, off the high horse.' John had obviously prepared this speech for weeks; obviously delivered it in toto (an obscµre East Peruvian dialect). 'But there's so much to be said and pointed out; answered our Olsen, 'college students seem to see life the way they read textbooks. They glance through the pages, memorize the trivia, and cram for exams with the Index. Few readers ever go more than a few pages deep into their lives and rarely encounter any mea ning; there's some significance in the Biology department's practice of using one question in the Freshman exams for the student. to identify the author.' Olsen had prepared this for days. 'In a way this all reminds me of how we're goinp: to write our next column,' mused Jack, a certain glow coming over his philosophic pallor. 'If History exams, for example, were approached with the vigour and enthusiasm of Hom ecoming displays, for example. certainly a greater number of our ~tudents would become alumni, and be coming home to see the displays.'

Three years ago, James Tredinnick read a book entitled Black Like M e by John Howard G riffin. G riffin's book, telling of the sensations of being a Southern Negro, initiated a spark in Jim, who by now was beginning to accept Christianity, that wa~ to grow into the flame eventually setting off a chain reaction of bonfi res, both for Jim and for Wilkes. Jim switched his major from engineering to psychology, aiming for acceptance into a semiary and eventua ll y a parsonage in the deep South. All hi s further plans were directed toward this goal. He began following racial problems in Birmingham and other southern cities. And finally this past summer Jim got a chance to taste some of the problems of his future. Tak es Part In March Wh en Ji m heard of plans for a march on Washington, he decided that bis place was with the peaceful demonstrators. He went to Washington expect ing to spend a few days and return to Wilkes-Barre, having had an enlightening, if uneventful experience. But fate had other designs on Jim. During the Washington demonstrations, a Negro minister from Danville, Virgin ia, asked for volunteers to march on that city, some one hundred miles from Washington. Jim, feeling his duty lay in Danville, hitch-hiked the bun- Sparks CORE dred miles at night, slept in woods outside of Danville, washed and shaved in a near-by gas station, and appeared in Danvjlle at 11 A.M. He immediately went to the N egro Baptist church where the demonstration was being planned. Inside the church thirty Negro students and two white students were inform ed how to ca rry out the two small demonstrations. The group Jim was in was instructed to go to the court house, passing inconpicuously through the streets, carrying small signs and buttons concealed under thei r clothing. They were told that police action would be brought against them, and that arrest was probable. They were instructed to go limp at the time of arrest and to allow themselves to be carried away to jail. The eleven students and Jim went to the courthouse and began marching on the steps, singing "We Shall OverCome", the nat ional anthem of the Civil Rights Movement and " Black and White Together". In a few minutes the police arrived, informed them of their arrest, and literally carried the¢ , to jail They spent two days in a prison fa rm, Negro and white in the same cells. They were transferred to the county jail for five days, taken back to the prison fa rm for an additional day, and finally set free on a two thousand dollar bail, provided by various Negro groups. Out On Bail James is now out on bail and must rema in prepared to go back to Danvi lle if the Federal Court which is scheduled to review the case decides to ca rry out the charges against him. He is charged with violating a city injunction against demonstration, inducing minors to commit misdemeanors, and resisting arrest. If the courts JAMES TREDINNICK decide to revi ew the case, Jim faces a heavy fine and a possible prison term. Jim, however, being a singular young man, did not allow these forboding events to darken his bright outlook.

Dick Morgan these two words best describe last W ednesday's 6-3 victory over Muhlenberg. Setting a new scoring record of goals per game, Morgan boomed the ball into the net 5 times as the Colonels completely overpowered the Mules. The first goal came midway through the first period when Morgan took a beautiful pass in front of Muhlenburg's goal and zipped the ball past the goalie. Not content with a one point lead, Dick stole the ball at midfield and headed toward the Mule's goal. His fancy footwork completely deceived the goalie, and Morgan scored again. The Colonel dkfense, playing another outstanding game, once again stole the ball in the closing minutes of the first period. Morgan set himself before the opponent's goal, received the pass, and again outmanevered the goalie, splitting the net for his third goal of the period. The second period saw a fierce battle between the enraged Mules and the stubborn Colonels. Each time Muhlenburg attempted a drive, the Ferrismen stepped in and took the ball away. Led by Al Gubanich and Dick Bucko, the Colonel defenders refused to yield to the hot-tempered Mules. With time running out in the half, the Wilkes hooters set up their play and ended the period with Dick Morgan's fourth goal of the game. MORGAN SELEC:TED "ATHLETE OF THE WEIil" IN MUHLENBURG C:ONTEST by Merle Bolen For the first time this year the BEACON is traveling to the Soccer tea m in search of a recipient of this week's "Athlete of the Week" award. Having long overlooked the fine performance of the Ferrismen we feel that their efforts are long overdue the recognition which it deserves. Upon visiting the team the one name that seems to stand out above all is that of center forward Dick Morgan. An outstanding performer all year, Dick has proved his value to the squad many times. However, in last Wednesday's game with Muhlenburg he really outd id himself. Setting a new scoring record of goals per game, Morgan boomed the ball into the net 5 times as the Colonels completely overpowered their opponents for a 6-3 victory. A well conditioned athlete, Dick always di splays a maximum effort in both games and practice sessions. His hustl e on the field has earned him three Stagg Awards and has led him to rec:eive high acclaim as one of the fin est soccer players Wilkes has seen in many years. Dick's leadership ability is evident having been chosen co-captain of the team. His fine work is not new to the team.This can be seen by reviewing last year's games in which hi s efforts were awarded by receiving his letter for his stellar performance. Dick is a native of Spring City, Pennsylvania, and now resides in Gore Hall. The 5 foot ten, 150 pound English major attended Phoenixsville High School where he captai ned the basketball team and the cross country tea m. Also contributing his efforts to the track team, Dick holds letters in all three of these sports. The ski ll displayed by Morgan on the field cannot be fully appreciated until one stops to think that he never nlayed the sport before coming to Wilkes. Because of his capacity for leadership and inspired play, Dick Morgan has been selected as the BEACON "Athlete of the Week." 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 HARRY SONNY LAZARUS Refus ing to become complacent, the Ferrismen continued to maul their opponents in the third period. Two minutes after the opening whistle, Bob Eurich took a pass, sped down the sidelines, and iced the game with a 30foot boot. Dick Morgan padded the margin four minutes later when he scored his record-setting fifth goal. With a comfortable lead, Coach Ferris decided to rest his starters inserted some of the new men on squad. Muhlenburg capitalized on mistakes of the Colonel novices, scored three goals in the period. Jim and the the and Not since 1953, when they defeated Lock Haven, have the Wilkes hooters scored six goals in one contest. Morgan's five goa ls, of course, were instrumental in this win, but the fine pass ing of Walt Prusakowski and Al Gilbert and the 17 saves by goalie Lou Szabados should not be overlooked. Lose to Hofstra On Saturday, however, the soccermen ~ot off to a slow start and suffered a 4-1 defeat at the hands of the flying Dutchmen of Hofstra University in th e Homecoming event. The loss gives 10 S. Main St., WIikes-Barre, Pa.

ROAD RUNNERS WIN 33-0; BUTLER HALL VIc:TORIOUS The Road Runners clinched a virtual tie for the Independent League by defeating a strong Rummy's team 33-0. The Road Runners used their defense to full advantage as they picked off 5 enemy passes. Gionett i, Covalim and Balewski were outstanding on defense. The Road Runners have not been scored upon in three games. In the Dorm League, Butler Hall played a tough Miner Hall squad and emerged victorious 26-6. Butler is now in contention fo r the Dorm title as MEET JUNIATA TOMORROW The Drexel Dragons discounted a brilliant 67 yard touchdown run by Colonel quarterback T om Trosko in coming from behind to hand Wilkes its 4th loss in 5 games by a 23-14 margin last Saturday. T ::e Wilkes team was worn down by the Dragons until the Philadelphia institute finally exploded for two touchdowns and three extra poi nts in the final stari:i!a, and just about defeating all hopes of an anticipated stellar season. The ca use for the Colonels being ground away was attributed to the fact that several key players were on the injured list. Among th e injured last week was speedy halfback John Gardner who saw limited action, and stalwarts Ed Comstock, Frank Wallace. Ralph Hendershot, and Ed Brominski. Tomorrow Wilkes faces Juniata. Last season the Indians scapled the Colonels 21 -14 in overcoming a late Wilkes rally which saw Wilkes lose the ball on the Juniata 14 yard line. The Indians are under new leadership, with Fred Prender in his first year as head coach. Prender w ill be trying to live up to last year's 6-2 record. It is hoped that Coach Schmidt of Wilkes will be able to overcome the injury jinx which seems to be plaguing the Colonels. they moved within one game of league leading Barre Hall.

Vol. XXV/11, No. 6 Miss Cail Roberts To Reign As 1963 Homecoming Queen Princesses Complete Queen's Court P14ttceJJ Jc,-nritte Miss Lorraine Dyers, a blonde French major from Kingston, has been nominated Princess of Homecoming Weekend. Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Dyers, Princess Lorraine hopes to work abroad this summer. Her other plans for the future include teaching languages, doing graduate work, getting ma rried, and raising tri-lingual children. Charm, personality, and ambition clearly are person ified in Princess Barbara, a hazel-eyed, brunette beauty who hails from Plymouth. Daughter of Mrs. Donald Lore, Barbara is a seni or English major who has narrowed her future plans to two alternatives. The first of these is graduate work here in the states. Her second choice includes a program of simultaneous teaching and studying abroad. The Princess has dreamed of traveling to Europe for many years, but she hasn't expected her desi re to pass the fairy-tale stage. However, next summer, Barbara's dream may convert into reality for she and a few classmates are considering overseas employment for the warm months following graduation. During past summer seasons Barbara has worked in the Bell Telephone Company Sales Office - a job which has given "Barb" a chance to utilize her secretarial skills. Presently Princess Barbara is editorin-chief of the Beacon. For two years she served on the staff as a news and feature reporter, and last year she gained the position of feature editor. Even though the Beacon occupies most of Barbara's time, she still manages to act as associate editor of the Manuscript and to represent her class on the Executive Council. AWS and the Education Club also have claimed the young woman as a member. Barbara disproves any concept about the separation of beauty and brains. The lovely Princess has merited a place on the Dean's List every semester of h~r ·college career. She also was a fouryeil.r honor student during her high school days at Plymouth. There Barbara began to develop her journalistic instincts. She served as editor-in-chief of The Shawnee Arrow, Plymouth High School's newspaper, and also acted as correspondent to the Sunday Independent. During her freshman year she was class vice-president and an elected member of "Who's Who Among High Schools." These college prep days also (Continued on Page 6) Along with her Spanish and educati on minors, Princess Lorraine has been a cheerl eader for the past three years, and has acted as capta in in her junior and senior years. She has been secretary of her class and pres ident of th e W omen's Activiti es Association in her junior and senior years. Princess Lorra ine has been active in TDR for four yea rs and was elected to the position of treasurer in her seni or year. She was a member of Student Government Court of Appeals in her junior year and was on the Parents' Day Planning Committee. She is presently an active member of the Ski Club, French Club, Spanish Club, and the basketball team. She was also on the dean's list in the spring of 1963. Lorraine lists, among her other interests, folk music, chess, horseback riding, snow and water skiing, and traveli ng. She also plays the gui tar. Last summer, Princess Lorraine worked as a waitress in Yellowstone Nati onal Park in W yoming. She traveled to California and spent a week in Los Angeles. In previous summers, Lorrai ne worked in the Poconos as a wa itress. She has also been a camp cou nselor and a salesclerk. Presently, she works in Chase Hall, typing and filin g. During her high school years in Kingston, Princess Lorrai ne was a cheerl eader, editor of the "Kingsto ni an", class secretary, and a member of the hockey team. She has also received the D.A.R. Citizenship Award and the Edward R. Janji gan Memorial Sportsmansh ip Award. Princess Lorraine will be escorted by Alan Gubanich, president of the senior class. Queen Gail and Court face Busy Schedule by Lois Petroski Lovely Gai l Roberts will reign as "Miss Homecom ing Queen of 1963." Daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Ellis Roberts, Queen Gail has been an acti ve member of Student Government and its committees for the past three years. The honey- hued beauty has also been co-cap tain of the cheerleaders, and an active member of TDR. A graduate of E. L. Meyers High School, Queen Gail has also displayed her varied talents during the formative years. At Meyers, she was ed itor of the £Imprint, President of Student Government, and a cheerleader. In addition to these activities, she distinguished herself by bei ng admitted to the honor society. During her four years at the College, Queen Gail was secretary of W AA for two years, and a member of the Fall Parent's Day Planning Committee during the present semester. Queen Gail is by no means unaccustomed to the idea of assuming a regal role, for last year, she was bestowed the honor of bei ng crowned Snowfl ake Princess at the Winter Carnival. Perhaps the most recent of her end eavors on campus was the work which Gail did on the honor code committee durin g the last semester. Queen Ga il spent seven weeks of the past summer in Europe where she studi ed and visited various points of interest. Belgi um, Bonn, and Switzerland were only a few of the places she visited while on tour. In the future, Queen Ga il plans to enter the fi eld of teaching or social work. Her actual teaching experience wi ll begin next semester, when Miss Roberts does her stud ent teaching. Presentl y, however, Queen Gail will have little d ifficulty in planning the futur e as far as the current weekend goes, for along with her court, she will rema in the center of attraction for the entire weekend. Activities Begin T oday An ant icipated 500 men and women graduates will return to the campus today to commence observa nce of the Sixteenth Annual Homecoming. The committee, which has Mr. Donald McFadden acting as alumni chairman and Lou Coopey as undergraduate cha irman, meti culously has pjanned a full schedule of events whid-i should provide enj oyment and fond memories for both alumni members and undergraduates. This past week the dormitories and various ca mpus societi es have spent many hours constructing di splays which fully project the desi re in the hearts of all those treading the campus this weekend-"Beat Drexel!" The groups responsi ble for the displays deemed best by a judicial committee of three to five alumni members, will receive trophies at ceremonies during the half-time of Saturday's football ga me. The judges will consider four categories: men's dorm itories, women's dormHories, club di splays, and over- all ori ginality. The judicial tour wi ll begin at 7 p.m. Simultaneously at 7 p.m., students will fo rm a car caravan at Butler Hall. Rid ing atop convertibl es, Queen Gail and Princesses Lorraine and Barbara wi ll lead the parade. The whole cheerin g caravan will be police-escorted up South River and Market Streets, around Public Square, and finally over the Market Street Bridge to N esbitt Park, the site of the pep rail. Here, the Cheerleaders, Majorettes, and Kickline will perform. Coaches Ferris and Schmidt will introduce the soccer and football teams. Students will celebrate the highlight of the rally - destruction of Hofstra and Drexel in effigy. TDR Sport Dance Immediately following the pep rally the car caravan will journey to the gymnasium where TDR will sponsor an undergraduate sport dance. In susta ining the festive spirit of the weekend, the Rhythm Aces will provide musical sounds amid colorful decorations. While students are dancing in the gymnasi um, graduates will be gathering at their first official reunion of the weekend at the Host Motel. Comradeship and reminisci ng will dominate this Warm-up Party which begi ns at 9 p.m. For alumn i and students alike, Saturday's events wi ll commence at 10 a.m., when Wilkes meets Hofstra in a soccer game at the athletic field. At 12:45, elaborately decorated cars wi ll form a parade line at Butler Hall. Anyone desiring to participate is invited to enter his car in the parade formation. Transportation for those lacking automobiles also will be available. The alumni judging committee will select th e best-decorated car. Royalty On Parade Once again the royal Homecoming court will be guests of honor in the parade which will extend the route of the previous evening to include North Main, Union, and North River Streets, then lastly the Market Street Bridge. This time the destiny will be the athletic field . Here, traffic directors donning arm bands will be available to park the cars from the caravan. Students will proceed to a section of the bleachers which will be roped off for them.

But seriously speaking, this little jolt out of the routine is a healthy experience for all. Th e alumnus comes away from revisiting the "s pawning ground" of many of his hopes and ideals with renewed vigor and determination while the undergrad, cuddled in the warm security of that special college world, peers out at the "real world" he will soon be thrust upon. Lest we underestimate the importance of this contact between generations, we must realize that the alumni are the roots of our school - the unsee n, often-neglected providers of nourishment for the blosso ming tree. Without them the tree cannot flourish . Alumni returning to campus this year will find signs of the continuing progress on campus - the new extension of the Science Building, the new W eckesser Hall dorm and the largest student body in the history of the school. They can take justified pride in their part of these accomplishments and relax and enjoy themselves this weekend. THE BALLOT BOX After disposing of the American Jury prob lem in last week's colu mn, we will now approach the second major problem in civi l litigation facing the American Judic ial System - delay. Should you be unfortunate enough to be pressing a case in Chicago's Cook County, your case will in all probability be delayed for more than FIVE AND ONE-HALF YEARS! These statistics are among several revealed recently in the 11 th annual survey of the status of 108 state court calendars, conducted by the Institute of Judi cial Administration located in New York. According to the most recent survey, it takes an average of 18.7 months for a personal injury case to reach jury tri al from the date on which a written answer to a complaint is filed with the plaintiff's attorney. Considering other factors in the 108court survey, 23 courts reported delays of more th an 30 months, with the degree of calendar congestion generally NHU? WHAT'S paralleling the population figures.

Attorney Shaffer Focus, the Wilkes College radio program, wi ll resume broadcasting for its third consecutive year on Sunday at 11 p.m. on WARM. Under the direction of Livingston Clewell, creator and producer of the program, plans for a broader scope of topics are now being organized. The moderators of the program are George Ralston, Dean of Men, and Arthur Hoover, Assistant Dean. They select topics of national current interest which are weighed by the panel members prior to the broadcast. When the discussions take place, the students sta te their controversies before making final ana lyses or conclusions. In this manner the listeners are given an opportunity to establish a solid viewpoint on the situations being covered. .; This year, there are three panels consisting of four members each. Panel one includes Cathy De Angelis, Harry Wilson, John Campbell, and Alan Krieger; panel two includes James Hansen, Joyce Cavallini, Douglas Bennington, and Steve VanDyke; panel three includes Barbara Gallagher, Bill Carver, Joe Klaips, and John Lore. Attorney Louis Shaffer, who succeeds the late Senator Andrew J. Sordoni to the vice chairmanship, is a graduate of Coughlin High School, University of Pennsylvania Wharton School, and New York University Law School. He is president, Luzerne County Bar Association; president, Committee of 100, Incorporated; senior vice president, Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce; chairman, Board of Trustees, Temple Israel of Wilkes-Barre; acting chairman, Wyoming Valley Committee of Pennsylvania Economy League; Life Director of Jewish Community Center of Wyoming Valley; and a director in the following organizations: Wilkes-Barre General Hospital, Family Service Association of Wyoming Valley, Property Owners Protective Association, Miners National Bank of Wilkes-Barre, Wilkes-Barre Rotary Club, and Industrial Loan Corporation of Wilkes-Barre.

Everybody who is somebody, and even us poor clods who aren't, make it a point to be at the Snack Bar by three o'clock in order to get a good seat for the 'hootenanny.' The idea of the Friday afternoon hootenanny was orginated by the Student Government. There are two reasons for these hootenannies; first, the great interest shown in folk music, and secondly, to publicize the Snack Bar. Jody Morrison, who is secretary of her class and editor of the Student Government N ews Letter, has been appointed ch airman of the "Friday Afternoon Hootenanny." Every week song sheets are typed up for this gala event to acquaint those in attendance with new and old folk songs. In the two hours, from three to five, the group sings approximately forty songs. This means that in the thirty-five hootenannies of the year, they will sing nearly 1,400 folk songs. And this means there will be a couple hundred cases of laryngitis on the campus before June. So everybody get their gargle out and start hooten. Jody and Singer The leadership of the hootenanny last Friday consi sted of one guitar and two singers. Well, one Singer but two singers - one guitar. One of the singers was Barry Singer; the other was Jody Morrison. comes from New York City and li ved only ten miles from "the Village." It was in Greenwich Village that her love for fo lk singing was born. Jody says, "I love all folk songs but my preference is for lesser known groups with lesser known songs whi ch are closer to the people." Scotch and Soda Jody led the group in many popular fo lk songs, such as: "Five Hundred Miles," "Lonesome Travler," "Oh Mary," "The Hammer Song," "Blowing in the Wind," "Scotch and Soda," and many others. Then Barry took command of the "hootenannyers." Barry's home is in Drums, Pa. Transferring from the University of Scranton, he came to Wilkes this year as a junior political science major. He is staying at Warner Hall. Barry is a very dedicated fan of folk songs who has "always been interested in folk singing." "Gunfight at O.K. Corral," which he sang Friday, is one of the songs that he wrote himself. Another product of Barry's talent is "The Search." This is his latest song. Barry's favorite folk so ng is "Far Side of the Hill." Other songs that he sang were: "The Everglades," "This Land is My Land," Jody Morrison Strums "M.T.A.," "Ain't It Hard?," "Bad Jody, who launched the hootenanny, Man's Blunder," and many more. He is a junior English major who hangs also made a desperate attempt to teach her guitar in W eckesser Hall. Jody everybody the words to "Pretty Gi rl .'' The question of Constitutional revision will be debated in next week's assem bly. Sponsored by the Inter-Collegiate Conference on Government, the debate wi ll feature two prom inent va lley res idents, Attorney Stanley Brockman and Attorney Reynold Kosek. Arguing in favor of revision of the constitut ion by amendment wi ll be Attorney Kosek, Wilkes-Barre city solicitor. Attorney Brockman, secretary of the Luzerne County chapter of the committee for constitutiona l revision, will oppose Kosek and speak in favor of revision of the constitution by convention. Those who favor revision by amendment feel that the needed improveml)nts could be made on an individual basis and that the ori gina l document should be rEtained. The advocates of a convention accuse the present constitution of having too many weak and outdated parts; they argue that amendments to individua l sections would be ineffectual and would make the constitution a greater "bramble patch". However, both sides are working on the basic assumption that the Pennsylvania constitution has many poor sections and should be improved. Miss Alis Pucilowski, a junior English major, will introduce the speakers and give a brief resume of each attorney's achievements. I.C.G.'s program chairman, Gai l Roberts, has announced that the debate will be moderated by Richard Shemo, a senior politica l science major. Carol Meneguzzo, vice-chairman of I.C.G., will be in charge of the technical aspects of th e debate. On Tuesday, November 5, the voters of Penna. wil l have the opportunity to call a convention, since a proposition to that effect wi ll appear on the ballot. Advertisers Hold Conference by Mi Mi Wilson "Advertising - Your Image Builder" was the theme of the thirteenth an nual Advertis ing Conference and Clinic under the sponsorship of the Advertising Club of Wilkes-Barre held here Saturday. In attend/l11ce were representatives of adverti sing agencies, newspapers, broadcasting companies, public relations agencies, and retailers from the Wyoming Valley area as well as from Rochester, Harrisburg, Pottsville, Allentown, Hazleton, Scranton, and Philadelphia. Frank Bozek, president of the WilkesBarre Ad Club began the morning session with a word of welcome followed by rerparks from Lee Vincent, conference chairman. Dr. Francis Michelini, Dean of Academic Affairs, welcomed those in attendance. In the morning sessions the conference delegates were add ressed by Maxwell Fox, Director of Public Relations of the Advertising Council of America, by Miss Elizabeth Strauss, General Secretary of the Advertising Council of West Germany (Akt ion Gemeinsinn) and by Wilbur G. Kurtz, Special Promotion Director of the Coca Cola Company, Atlanta, Georgia. Miss Strauss told the conference delegates that the German people do not understand "gemeinsinn" which translated into English means "community spirit" and pointed out that the primary objective of the German Advertising Council is to build an image of "gemeinsinn" in the public's mind. It is most interesting to note that the Germans use a negative approach. For example, posters will read "I don't help old people cross the street. I don't wo rk without pay." Miss Strauss believes that "community spir it" is poorly understood because of Germany's political history, but she feels that under the present democratic form of government in West Germany, this concept of "community spirit" can be propagated in the minds of the people. Public Service Mayor Frank Slattery presented the key of the city to Miss Strauss at luncheon in the Commons. Congressman Dan Flood, luncheon speaker, was introduced by Larry Greenspan luncheon chairman. On the afternoon agenda was Dolf Drage, Director of the Vietnamese Service with the United States Informat ion Agency, Washington, D.C. who spoke on " Image Building Around the World." Mr. Drage claims "performance builds the image" and if you don 't intend to perform just fo rget about the image. He poi nted out that one of the major barriers to communication with people overseas is a cultural one. The Vietnamese view on education is quite enlightening: "If you plan for five years, plant rice; if you plan for ten years, plant a tree; if you plan for one hundred years, educate men." James Adshead, Department of Public Relations, E. I. DuPont De Nemours & Co., Inc., spoke to the assemblage on "Better Image Through Better Advertising." He outlined severa l of DuPont's major campaigns with stress on their campa ign to " infuse fiber with glamour." The closing speaker of the conference was Martin Jaffe, vice president and design director of Robert Zeidman Associates who spoke on "Building the Corporate Image in Terms of a Corporate Id entity." The conference was followed by a cocktail party at Hotel Sterling. In hi s speech "Creating National Interest Campaigns" Mr. Fox discussed t he public service campaigns of the Aavertising Council which include such familia r promotions as College Is America's Best Friend, Support the College of Your Choice; Give the Uni ted Way; Keep Freedom in their Future .. . With U.S. Savings Bonds; Every Litter Bit Hurts and many others. BLOOD DAY TURNOUT GRJ\ TIFYING, SJ\ YS RALSTON by Harry Russin A total of 205 students and faculty members participated in Blood Donor Day; of this number 33 were deferred for some physical reason. The American Red Cross collected a tota l of 172 pints of blood, 35 pints more than were collected last year. Dean Ralston was gratified by the increase and was grateful to those who donated their blood. He also praised the Circle K Club for their enthusiasm, which aroused greater interest and participati on than ever before. A number of students who could not find time last Friday wi ll give blood later, on an individual basis. This will bring the grand total to 200 pints of blood or more. Wilbur G. Kurtz gave an informative history of the Coca Cola Company and noted how various slogans such as "thirst knows no season" and "the pause that refreshes" as we ll as the coke bottle which is a trademark of the company have contributed to building the image of the Coca Cola Company.

The former Kingston ace exhibited a stellar performance as he displayed a brillant example of determination and rugged line play. The Bear's offensive hopes were repeatedly stifled as they tried to penetrate an almost impregnable staunch forward wall throughout the game. Led by MacLaughlin the Colonel line succeeded in breaking up Ursinus' plays before they could become a serious threat. Roger also contributed his efforts to the contest in the third period after Paul Purta scored the second Colonel tally.

The recipients of the award for the succeeding weeks are: Football-Ted Travis-Bey, and Ed Comstock. Soccer-Larry Gubanich and Dick Morgan for the second time. The award will continue to be given throughout the year to the outstanding player of each varsity team. This week, Paul Purta gained the award for his outstanding performance in the Ursinus game, while the soccer team was idle. �Friday, October 25 , 1963 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Schmidtmen Win - Gridders Trounce Ursinus 28-8 ; Meet Drexel In Homecoming Tilt Tomorrow Page 5 Ferrismen Meet Hofstra Boaters Idle Last Week; Set For Homecoming Game Aga inst Hofstra Tomorrow's fu ll schedule of events for the Homecoming weekend beg ins at 10 a.m . at the Wi lkes Athletic Field where the Colonels soccer team under head coach Jim Ferris will host the Flying Dutchmen of Hofstra University. The Ferrismen have been improving with every game, and it is hoped that the Homecoming atmosphere will provide the extra incentive necessary for the soccer team to dump the strong Hempstead, New York hooters. Last year, Hofstra overpowered the Colonels 4-1, enroute to a fourth place berth in the N orthern Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference. Their 8-3-1 record this year has been bettered only by Elizabethtown, the conference champion, but the Dutchmen were able to log only a 4-2-1 record in conference play. Two open dates in the schedule last week were put to good use as Coach Ferris held practice sessions every night in preparation for tomorrow's game. The Colonels have been finding it difficu lt to mount an offensive threat, so th e defense has been forced to shoulder the brunt of the responsib il ity of keeping the team in th e game. It· is hoped that the superb play of the defense, led by Lou Szabados, Larry Gubanich, a nd D ick Bucko, plus an offense featuring the excellent passing of Dick Morgan, Walt Prusakowski, and Al Gilbert, can overcome the Hofstra scoring machine. Following tomorrow's contest, the hooters will have three games left to nlay in the current schedule, meeting Susquehanna, Wagner and Elizabethtown. Elizabethtown is the defending charm pion. The Colonel gridders gained their initial victory of the season against 3 losses, by downing the Ursinus Bears 28-8 at Collegeville last weekend. Coach Schmidt stayed with his devastating ground attack as fulback Gary Popovich and halfback Paul Purta accounted for all four of Wilkes' touchdowns. Popovich ran for one PAT, whi le Roger MacLaughlin gathered in a pass from scat-back Ted Travis-Bey for another two point conversion. Wi lkes has been extremely strong in their running game t his season, and last week's game was no exception as the Colonels rolled up 247 yards to Ursinus' 136. A fact worthy of mention is the Bears' ability to gain only 2 yards rushing in the second half. Purta led the Colonel ground game with 81 yards on 14 carr ies, gaining the tribute of his team mates by being voted Stagg Medallion winner. Purta averaged 5.8 vards per carry. John Gardner gained 66 yards on 13 carries for an even 5 yard average, while workhorse Popovich was held to a 2.3 average. Popovich, however, cracked , the Ursinus defense for two touchdowns and a two point conversion run. End Roger MacLauchlin starred on defense for the Colonels. His name was like an echo all afternoon. Wilkes drew blood the first time they got the ball marching 57 yards and climaxing the drive on Purta's JS yard sprint up the midd le. The PAT attempt was wide. When Ursinus recovered a Wi lkes fumble, converted the miscue to a score, and added a 2 point conversion, it looked like the Colonels' hard luck jinx was returning. With Ursinus leading 8-6 at the 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 half, Wi lkes came right back in the final two periods to score three times, icing th e victory when Popovich scored from the 3 after Rich Verhanovitz recovered an Ursinus fumble. Wilkes lost to Drexel 14-12 last season on a two point conversion and will be out to avenge that decision. The Dragons will not be an easy foe to vanquish, however, as the experts see Drexel as the Southern Division Champions of the Middle Atlantic Conference. Last season, though, the Dragons were co-champs with Western Maryland. You may draw your own conclusions. On the other hand, Wilkes' record is no indication of the team's potential. All of the defeats suffered by the Colonels were hard fought, close games, and in at least two, Wilkes won the battle Coaches Plan Strategy The Wi lkes coaching staff, led by of statistics. head m entor Rollie Schmidt, are picCoach Tom Grebis, who is in his tured above.

Farleigh Dickinson Univ ersity is situated in three areas of N ew Jersey, i.e., three co- equal campuses in T eaneck, Rutherford and Madison . Until a few years ago, T eaneck and Rutherford , which are just a few miles apart have operated jointly, a full ten (10) sport intercollegiate program under the expected des ignation, " Fairleigh Dickinson Univ ersity." When the Madison campus was initiated in 1958, in order for the students at Madison to participate in this intercollegiate program required travelin g some 35 to 40 miles. This early attempt, I'm sure you can understand, created many hazards and was difficult to say the least. Four years a go, therefore, the Board of Trustees of the Univ ersity, in order to provide equal opportunity of participation without undue hardsh ip, decilied to establish a co mpletely separate second intercollegiate program for its students at Madison. A second intercollegiate program at Madison, so lved the time and distance problem but, as you might expect created difficult public relations problem as the result. This second program of Madison has worked out well and is here to stay. H owever, for the purpose of scheduling and press, radio and television contacts the following formula I hope w ill be meaning{ ul. I f contact originated from Mr. Harv ey vll oods office in Rutherford, N ew Jersey this is the program which exists jointly at both Rutherford ai,l( T eaneck and operates under the designation "Fairleigh Dickinson University," (Ind should be listed as such. Their sports information director is Jim Jon es. On the other hand if contact athletically, is made and gam es arranged with Mr . Robert T . Shields at Madison, N ew Jorse y the des ignation should read "Fairleigh Dickinson Un iversity-Madison" or pre ferably "F.D.U.-Madison." I hope that this letter in so meway will h elp clarify the problem for you and with your kind cooperation mau help us to solve what misunderstanding exists in the eyes of the public.

"When I am in America, I am in a country that is at the top of the world in every respect, so I am naturally impressed. But America is a country where everyone is on the back of a horse, galloping all the time." "The average American does not appreciate the good life he is leading in comparison to that of other countries. He is unhappy because he wants more and more and more." Are Americans friendly? "If a girl is beautiful, she doesn't constantly say, 'I am beautiful.' If a man is handsome, he doesn't constantly say, 'I am handsome.'

His brother came here because the college was recommended to him by relatives who were asked to find a good small college. Comments on the United States from Teutupe Vaita of Fagatogo, American Samoa are as follows: "I think America is fine and a very industrious nation in the world. Compared to my country, America is such a very big place; the population is far greater than that of my island. The thing that amazes me is that people rush and so do cars. I wonder, 'Why the rush?" "Samoans are very happy, cheerful, loving people. They don't take life seri- ously. They believe in this saying, 'Let tomorrow worry for itself.' Unfortunately Samoa does not have colleges, or I wouldn't be here. Students in America have the advantage of having anything they want concerning education. In my island it's very hard to get all the things you want since it's a very small place." "I think Wilkes campus is one of the nicest school campuses around, but I'm so sad to see that the school spirit is not what I had expected. The greater percentage of the students are not interested in the school activities." " I am not planning to stay in Wilkes for the four years, but I am hoping after two years I may be transferred to a nursing college or the West Coast so that I may be nearer home. At present I am 8,000 or 9,000 miles away from home.'' TEUTUPE VAITA of Samoa and SHIU-WAI MA of Hong Kong smile after their interview . Aesthetics [lamor For lngenue Ari; N. Y.

Certainly, there's no organization today conducting more vital business than the business of the United States Air Force.

As an Air Force officer, you'll be a leader on the Aerospace Team-with good pay, a 30-day paid vacation each year, educational opportunities. How can you get started? For many, the best way is through Air Force ROTC. But if you missed out on AFROTC, or if there's no unit on your campus, you can still apply for Air Force Officer Training School.

TAKE PEN IN HAND by Jack Hardie and Olsen Schroeder The recent news that the National Defense Education Act is up for renewal should be of interest to many of us, since nearly 500 members of our student body are now benefitting from the National Defense student loans. Needless to say, the advantages of the NDEA - low interest rates and long-term repayment period -would be difficult to find elsewhere. And discontiuance of this government assistance would "throw a kink" into mariy stud·e nts' well-laid plans. We all know this just as we all realize the importance of the Act. Let's let our Senators know that we are alert and intereste.d in the outcome of the extension proposal.

Yeats too, we thought we would join the conversation. 'Yes,' we interrupted, 'Irish folk-lore was one of the formulating influences on Yeats' poetic imagination; of course you must remember that . 'W.B. Yeats?' asked Miss Dover. ON No longer can minors caught in establishments serving liquor skip blithely through the raid, the subpoena, and the hearing itself with no scars and perhaps even a check for testifying against the owners. For the State Liquor Control Board has finally taken the "fun" out of fooling cafe owners - with a "crack down" on minors and a tightening of the state laws. A recent change in the statutes makes the minor in such a situation responsible for his own conduct and liable to as much as a $ I 00 fine and several days imprisonment.

IS IT WORTH IT? Dear Apathetic Onlookers (Creeps): * * * The men of BUTLER HALL, to TWO PLUS TWO EQUALS THREE Since each of us is aware that enrollment at our coUege is steadily increasing, we are apt tq _presume that the impact created by student movements would also increase in the same proportion. This, however, is generally not the case, and to substantiate my statement, I would like to compare the student conducted United Fund Campaign results for the past three years. In 1960, the total amount contributed was $1,148; in 1961, it dropped to $1,090, and finally, last year, we reached our lowest total of $736. These facts definately show a lack of interest on the part of the students in their campaign, for if each student had contributed his $1.00, the increased enrollment would have been evident in an increas'f~ of total contributions. Our problem, as it exists, can be remedied, and this remedy can be administered immediately. The procedure would be a simple one, · and would merely involve the effort on the part of each student to contact his class representatives, and make his individual contribution. Once this has been accomplished, this year's campaign totals will begin a new trend in the right direction.

R eligious Prejudice In the area of religion, the study revealed evidence that few jurors are biased against Jews, whereas there is a definite tendency to make it difficult for claimants adhering to certain fundamentalist religions such as Seventh Day Adventists and Jehovah's Witnesses. From the brief description of the study, the conclusions made can be stretched one more notch. Can one obtain a fair trial under the conditions set forth? This is a very difficult matter to decide, for how does one go about eliminating the prejudice factor? Perhaps it is the quality and administration of our juries that needs overhauling, not the system itself. With si, many categories of persons excludd from jury duty, it becomes extremely difficult if not impossible to obtain the cross-sectionalism so vital in a fair trial by one's peers.

Comstock rolled up 170 yards on 21 carries for an 8.1 yard per carry average, which earned him the "ECAC Outstanding Back" award and also the BEACON "Athlete of the Week" award. PMC capitalized on a Wilkes fumble to draw first blood in the game. In the second period, with four minutes remaining, the Colonels rebounded on drives by Comstock and Don Brominski drove into paydirt from the one. The score at the half was a 6-6 tie, as Ed Brominski's PAT attempt was wide. After a scoreless third period, Frank Wallace returned a punt to the Wilkes 48. On the next play, Comstock carried the pigskin on a 52 yard touchdown jaunt through the midle of the PMC defense. Wallace missed the PAT. The Cadets, fired up by a Homecoming crowd, roared back with a drive that covered 62 yards in 9 plays and resulted in another PMC score. Bob Heiser iced the game by booting the PAT, but just for insurance the Cadets trapped Frank Wallace back to punt and added two points to their total. At Ursinus Tomorrow Tomorrow afternoon the Colonels meet the Bears of Ursinus in a game at Collegeville, Pa. Last season the Wilkes team displayed a tremendous effort on two goal line stands to turn back the Bears 12-6. Last year the Bears were lucky to score even once against the Colonels with all the breaks going their way. U rsinus had the ball twice in succession inside the five yard line and failed to score on the teriffic defensive effort of the Wilkes line. Coach Richard Whatley, in his 4th year at Ursinus, has 13 returning lettermen. Included among these veterans is senior quarterback Ron Emmert, who scored the only Ursinus touchdown last year. The game will get under way at 2 p.m. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Chuck Robbins Sporting Goods Pat Davis Sparks Hockey Team In Moravian Win by Lillian Bodzio As a result of quick thinking on the part of freshman Pat Davis, the Girl's hockey team recently scored a 4-3 victory over a tough Moravian squad.

Pass defense was the key to the Barre victory. Barre scored 3 touchdowns on interceptions. Evans scored three times for Barre, while Dunn, Witt, and Douglas added one apiece. George played a good game for Miner, scoring two touchdowns. The Independent League showed two strong teams this week as the Macedonians and Rummys played to a 7-7 tie. Both teams posed a scoring threat throughout the game, but the defenses rose to the occasion. The Rummys scored first on a long pass from McAndrew to Zabonski, with Mc Andrew adding the PAT. The Macedonians came back to immediately tie the score on a pass to Himlin. The extra point by Jim Vindunis was disputed. Ray Sorokanich and Harry Vogt led the Rummys' defense.

With the season half com pleted, the Wilkes College soccer team brought its log to 1-4-1, but the Ferrismen feel they can improve on this record during the second half of the schedule. The Colonel boaters dropped a 1-0 squeaker to Stevens last Wednesday but bounced back on Saturday to battle the Madison campus team of Farleigh-Dickinson to a scoreless tie. The contest with Stevens indicated, as in previous tilts, that a scoring threat is definitely lacking in the offensive team. The one-point edge was all that Stevens needed to clinch the contest, as the Colonels absorbed their third shutout in four games. The defense, as in all previous games, was the mainstay of the team, as they time after time stopped the charging Stevens' offensive unit. Undaunted by the inabil ity of the offense to score, the Colonel defenders never ceased to perform admirably. In the game with Madison, the Wilkes defensive unit sparkled as they shut out their opponents. The Colonel offensive team,. however, was similarly blanked, and at the end of regulation play, a scoreless tie prevailed. Two five-minute overtime periods were played, but neither team was able to score in the contest at the New Jersey college. Outstanding defensive play by left fullback Larry Gubanich and halfback Dick Bucko, while the offense was led by the fine play of Dick Morgan and Walt Prusakowski. The boaters will play two games at home this week, meeting Muhlenburg Wednesday afternoon and challengin g Hofstra tomorrow morning.

DEADLINE FOR SENIORS PIX NEARING GET YOURS TAKEN NOW. A provis ion to extend the National Defense Education Act for three years and to make substantial expansions in the student loan program has been approved by the Senate Education Subcommittee under the chairmanship of Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon. The NDEA renewal was inserted by the Subcommittee as an amendment to the new vocational educational bill which recently passed the House of Representatives by an overwhelming majority. The bill now faces two immediate hurdles : approval by the Senate Labor and Public W elfare Committee and approval by the Senate itself. The House is now awaiting Senate act ion. According to Mr. Arthur Hoover, assistant dean. this program affects nearly 5CO W ii/res College students. In view of this large percentage, the student body may wish to support the bill. This mat/ be taken care of in two ways. Pirst, those Senators on the Labor and Public Welfare Committee may be wired or called at once to be urged to do everything possible, so that tl, e NDEA will remain part of the bill when reported out by the committee and to support Favorable action on it. Second, in regard to t',e senators who are not members of the committee: you may wire, call, or write ask ing them to support the retention of NDEA as a part of HR 4955 when it comes up for Senate floor action, and to vote for the Bill. Both committee and floor action are imminent, so if you wish to support an NDEA Extension in this session of Congress, it is important to act promptly. Telegrams and letters should be addressed to The Honorable ............... .., United States Senate, Washington 25, D.C. If you call, the Senate number is CApitol 4-3121 , area code 202. If the Senator cannot be reached, you should ask for his legislative assistant. REGISTRATION FORMS Students who wish to give blood and have not been contacted can obtain a registration form from members of Circle K, presidents of dormitories, or Dean Ralston's secretary.

Although the weather still denies the fact, fall is here and winter is rapidly approaching. Accompanying the fall weather will be the first outstanding social event of the season Homecoming Week - end. Even though it wi ll not take place until October 25 and 26, Student Government is already busy making the preliminary preparations. Homecoming will officially begin on Friday night with the traditional parade to Kirby Park where a bonfire will be held. After these ceremonies, a sport dance will follow at the gym. Leslie Tobias and Marie Shutlock arc in charge of these activities. On Saturday afternoon, the football teams of Wilkes and Drexel will meet at the Athletic Field. During the pregame ceremonies the selection of Homecoming Queen will be made, and a guest speaker will be featured. At half-time the winner of the various displays exhibited on campus will be announced. The actual selection will have been made during Friday night's bonfire. Dr. Farley di splays the typical friendly attitude which prevailed at the first Annual Fall Parent's Day Program last Saturday. Over 500 parents participated in the day's activities which began with registration in the morning, and concluded with the Manuscript film, and the Cue and Curtain plays that night. Due to the favorable response to this Parent's Day Program, future plans are being formulated for a possible Parent's Weekend next fall. Homecoming would not be complete without the traditional dinner-dance. This year it will again be held at the gym with the cost of tickets approximately $4.00 per couple, although this price is not yet definite. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 EDITORIAL • • • • • • Friday , October 11, 1963 • LET'S GET WITH IT by Jack Hardie and Olsen Schroeder Apathy on the part of our student body manifests itself on many occasions throughout the year. School sponsored social events, campus drives, and other projects usually meet with failure because of the lack of individual participation. One might attribute his imperviousness to lack of personal interest concerning the particular event taking place, and his position may be well stated in this respect. However, on October 18, we as students, will be confronted with an appeal, the material purpose of which directly concerns each one of us vitally. This appeal is from the Red Cross for the donation of blood by the stµdents and faculty . Although at first glance it might seem that students would offer their support to such a program, experience has shown that only 137 out of a possible 1200 donors took an active part in the same program in the past. It is my belief that this poor turnout is due primarily to the fact that many students do not fully understand the purpose of the blood program. Each donor who participates in the program is entitled to receive blood, fre e of charge, for himself, family , or friends whenever the need arises. Combine this material benefit with the self-satisfaction derived from one's contribution and every blood donation becomes well worth the effort. Our goal, this year, of 200 pints can be reached only through a concentrated effort on the part of the students and faculty alike. Wouldn't October 18 be an ideal day to disprove the apathetic attitude theory existing on our Campus? JJK When Al invited me out in his convertible, how was to knew it was a motorcycle with an umbrella? This is something of an unusual column. Perhaps Freshmen and other students unfamiliar with almost everything should be first acquainted with our purpose and procedure here in our initial appearance this year. We express ourselves, to begin, in the editorial plural; not because Hardie and Schroeder desire to represent themselves with journalistic schizophrenia, but because we should like to identify, when we write "we," with certain of the campus groups, related to us by age, sex. apathy, or a common moral indi gnation. This is our manner; our matter should be explaining itself all year. Thus, the typical column here would begin with the observation, for instance, that the famous Joyce Kilmer Oak (that under which he is supposed to have written a poem) was recently cut down because it was diseased. Opening in this manner, we would then venture to say that it was about time, and let us now determine whether or no "Trees' itself is beyond the help of surgery; and so on.

Photographic Siaff by MiMi Wilson MLLE MAG COLLEGE BOARD MEM Perennial favorites fo r campus wear are separates shirts, skirts, and sweaters to mix and match as you please. Oxford cloth shirts show an ivy league or Macmillan collar and frature either long or roll up sleeves. Th ese s11irts come in black, red , navy, an<l pale shades of pink, blue and green. Somet imes they are delicately pin-striped; occasionally they show a Philadelp'1ia collar. For the madras ,11ad fans. madras blouses are ever p:ipular. If you want a blouse that makes talk, select a paisley print. The biggest sweater of the season is the V-necked pullover in the softest mohair imaginable. Its colors are ripe as harvest: corn gold, bonfire red, and heather green. Crew neck cardigan slip over sweaters earn college credits. Silk screen prints and conservative cash- mere creations complete the sweater story. Skirt styles run the gamut from straight and narrow to circle full. In betweens include the A-line, the swing skirt, the box pleated, the fan pleated , and the cone. Each season more and more fash ion houses are making their ski rts proportioned to just the ri ght length. Bright woo l plaids and solids provide cheery color and cozy warmth. Collegiate best seller this Fall is the "schoo lotte." The schoolotte is cul otte and kilt in one with the length admissible at any college. Color mated separates lord it over the fashion picture in or out of class. This season corduroy separates are merged in two leading colors, covert green and mall ard blue. These se parates go together like salt and pepper and are the spice of every gi rl 's wardro be. The A-line or straight sk irt may be mated with a print blouse or jacket. The play shift may be accompanied by its matching blouse. Wilkes is comprised solely of students whose fathers attended college during the l 920's, and that these fathers all encourage "Junior" to fo llow in his frivolou s footsteps. We would then predict that within the next few yea rs every member of this particular hall wi ll be sporting bulky fur coats, racing roadsters to Dallas "roadhouses," swallowing goldfish, and st ill stealing bells, statues, and other landmarks from neighboring colleges. "Is it right to steal from other schools just because they have superior athletic teams? Is it wise to lower the level of modern education to the rubbish of the twenties? We ask these students to think of how they might feel were some of the fellows from Moravian to a bduct Millie Gittens and not return her until after the game? Pride goeth before a fall.

Less than twenty-seven people attended this group's largest meeting; some were curious, some skeptical, a few interested, and little more than two, dedicated and experienced. These two, as mentioned in last week's Beacon, are Margie Harris and James Tredinnick. Miss Harris of Chapman Hall, trained for a number ,. of weeks before school this semester with CORE groups in Washington, Baltimore, and Philadelphia; she participated in the August Peace March on Washington, is well acquainted with the organization and very able to answer any questions that may be put to her concerning her experiences with the organization. James Tredinnick, also involved in the racial action last summer, hitchhiked to Danville, Virginia where he spent eight days in jail. His bail was • paid by the NAACP and he is on campus now, "out" on bond, faced with some eight " trumped-up" charges. Jim went to jail for what we all, as educated people, believe in our souls. Jim asks that all students come to the CORE meetings; the college administration is solidly behind this group; so is The Onlooker; come to the meeting and see what some are doin g for what we all stand for. Continued on Pc:ge J LETTER TO EDITOR Tonight is Thursday October 3, 1963, and I have just spent an enjoyable evening watching Cue and Curtain's performance of two magnificent plays, I Spy by John Mortimer and C ecile; Or the School for Fathers by Jean Anouilh. The acting done by students of Wilkes College was superb in my estimation. However, thi s is not the purpose of writing this arti cle. Out of a theater that could seat approximately one hundred people, on ly fifteen to twenty seats were occupied. This lack of school spirit and intellectual quest is quite evident on this cam- _ pus. This is not the on ly instance. Seminars of many different topics and interests are arranged for students by the Student Governm ent Seminar committee; yet only five or six people show up out of a student body of twelve hundred. Not only is an intellectual quest lacking, but school spirit at athletic events is at a miserable low. One does ,. not hear the cheers and songs echo round the grounds of Wilkes, as has been tradition. Our cheerleaders carry on faithfully, but without student support their efforts are wasted. As college students we have to take an active interest in the world about us. We can not stand by and allow a small group to carry the ball. The··e is no reason for one to be ashamed to shout and cheer for the home team; or to turn away, or laugh while the band plays the a lma mater. W e have to stand up and do something, or as Wilkes College students we are fai lin g in our role in life. Stuart A. Jed �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 11, 1963 Page 3 Who's Afraid of J. D.

Mr. M .: All right, then Stravinski and Bartok. Inter.: Have you any interest in sports? (Estragon and Vladimir eye each other meaningfully, then direct their attention to Mr. M.). Mr. M. : Well, I do play tennis. I was a great basketball player in my high school days. I won the last cup for my school. Inter.: And what kind of theatre do you enjoy? Mr. M.: I like Greek drama and Shakespeare. In the American theatre, my favorites are Maxwell Anderson (Estragon and Vladimir, at the mention of this name, loudly moan and continue to do so until Mr. M. completes the sentence). - and Arthur Miller. (Estragon and Vladimir regain their composure and again return to their thoughts) . Inter.: (Seeking a determined look). Do you have any hobbies? (Estragon and Vladimir again eye each other meaningfully and direct their gaze to Mr. M.) Mr. M: (unsure of what this exchange of gazes implies). Well, I write, what I mean is, I write fiction; that is, short stories. I haven't published because I don't think I'm good enough yet. I did have some things in La Salle's literary magazine. Misticelli? so friendly . .. Vladimir: (slightly piqued at his friend's "common" reply) . Everybody says that! Inter.: What do you think of the faculty? Mr. M.: (to Interviewer adamantly).

Now, the time has come for that all important question, "And how much do you love J.D. Salinger?" Mr. M.: (seated on edge of seat, eyes ablaze, thoroughly ready to answer).

Anything else? I mean, a bout American literature? Mr. M.: (very confident now). I think the best authors in American fiction are Faulkner, Wolfe, and Hemingway. I also think the best up-andcoming writer is William Styron. And, oh yes, I think there will be a breakthrough in American literary criticism based more completely on aesthetic value than psychological. Inter.: (attempts to end lightly) . Have you had any interesting jobs? Mr. M: Yes. I was a commercial seaman for Atlantic Refining Co. I met a seaman who loved Voltaire. Estragon: (aside). Really? Mr. M.: I was in South America, Texas, New Orleans - the jazz in New Orleans has degenerated since the time of Louie ArmstrongInter.: Yes. Well, thank you very much.

Exit Interviewer Curtains for 'I Spy' and Coils for 'Cecile' by Doug Bennington CHURCH AND STATE IN AMERICA The social thought of antiquity, especially that of Greece and Rome, identified the total social relationship of men with the political state of which they were a part. Stoicism, along with other philosophies of withdrawal from public life, stressed the self-sufficient individual to the point of almost totally excluding the claims of the state upon men for public purposes. A new religion arose which attempted to establish a balance between these extremes; Christianity insisted that men do not live strictly within a political framework because they have a private sphere - conscience and their relation to their God wh ich lies outside the domain of the state. Christianity also reinforced the traditional idea that men are social creatures who need the state and society for their earthly welfare. St. Augustine (354-430 ' A.O.) first described in broad, somewhat indistinct terms, the nature and relationship of the sacred and temporal spheres. In his view men are social beings, members of a great society living under the kingship of God, whose laws govern society and its institutions, including the state. The state provides order and security, enabling the Christian to seek his spiritual destiny in peace; for this basic reason he will obey civil authority. God's laws, however, as mediated through the Church and by which all human institutions are to be judged, must also be obeyed. If whatever the state commands contradicts God's laws, the Christian will not obey; no man owes an absolute obedience to the state. STATE VS. RELIGION St. Augustine did not develop a sufficiently precise theory that would have clarified many questions concerning proper political obedience and the separation of church and state. His objective was to place civil society in its proper perspective within a hierarchy of religious values. Unfortunately for both the Church and society in later centuries, St. Augustine did not describe clearly the boundaries of authority between the state and religion. The first attempt at a formal definition of church-state relations, and one which has proved to be the most enduring, was made by Pope Gelasius I in 494 A.O. The Gelasian theory became known later as the doctrine of the "two swords." In a letter to the Roman Emporer Anastasius, Gelasius pointed out that before Christ there were men who were legitimately both ruler and priest: "But Christ, knowing the weakness of human nature and being concerned for the welfare of his people, separated the two offices, giving to each its peculiar functions and duties. Thus the Christian emperor needs the ecclesiastic for the attainment of eternal life, and the ecclesiastic similarly depends upon the government of the emperor on temporal matters." The Gelasian doctrine was to become the basis of the traditional Christian position on church-state relations. Several points in the Gelasian doctrine are historically important : the repudiation of the idea of a theocratic state (in which priests exercise both spiritual and political power) : a distinction between the "regum" (the political sphere), the "sacerdotium" ( the sacred sphere), and their respective jurisdictions, ~ach supreme within its own area; the recognition that the two spheres could not be separated completely and that in certain cases, each must have authority over the other. During the critical period from the eleventh to the fifteenth centuries, the Gelasian vi ew was ignored in the bitter political struggle between Church and state. POSITION OF SECULAR STATE Throughout this period certain spokesmen for the Church maintained that the secular state was institutionally subordinate to, and derived its authority from, the Church. In short, the "two swords," spiritual and temporal, belonged to the Church to be us"d as it saw fit. This assertion of religious dominance was nullified by secular power. A more moderate, modern vi ew, which indirectly and without design became a major part of the American practice of separation, was put forth by a French Dominican, John of Paris, in 1302. Concerning the relationship between the "two swords," John believed that both had different by Alis Pudlowski and Jeff Gallet One wonders how Cue and Curtain, Frute's line out of context, I Spy was from whom we have learned to expect "a bit of a nightmare." excellence, could have with complete honesty staged I Spy along with Cecile.

BOOTERS DOWN MORAVIAN, BOW TO E. STROUDSBURG IN 3-0 SHUTOUT AT HOME Coach Rollie Schmidt's grid machine steam-rolled the Moravian Greyhounds in the opening stanza of Saturday's Parents' Day thriller, but stalled on several occasions later in the game to drop a close 14-10 decision to the visitors from Bethlehem. Wilkes gained momentum in the first period of the game, behind the hard driving of workhorse Gary Popovich, and shifty running of Ted Travis-Bey and John Gardner. The Colonels drov~ deep into Moravian territory but were stopped by the Greyhounds on the six. At tr.at point, Ed Brominski put Wilkes ahead by way of a 2€ yard field goal. Even though the Colone ls failed to get the six-pointer, it appeared that Moravian would fall easy prey to a Wilkes team whicr. looked mucb sh arper than in the opener with Lebanon Valley. The Greyhounds were not to be outdone. Late in the second quarter, Moravian marched to their first score of the game which came on a two yard plunge by f-alfback Leo Todd, and Vince Seamr.n booted the PAT. At the half, it was Moravian 7, Wilkes 3. TRAVIS - BEY SCAMPERS Ted Travis-Dey sparked the 3rd quarter with a nifty 77 yard opening kickoff return down the right sideline to paydirt. The "Bey" looked sharp on several occasions, both defensively and on offense, in turning in a pass interception and several good runs besides the touchdown sprint. Once again the Greyhounds were not to be restrained. Moravian put together another long march which resulted in the final score of the game, via a Semmel-Riccardi aerial from the two. Seaman booted his second extra point of the afternoon. Wilkes out-rushed Moravian 212 to 182 yards. with Popovich picking up better than half 0f th at for the Colonels. The hig fullback had a 5.8 yard per carry average. After playing below par in the openrr, and last week's heartbreaker, the Schmidtmen are determined to spoil PMC's homecoming tomorrow. Wilkes appears to have the better team, but the Cadets will be up fo r the game. End Ron Grohowski added, " . . . but so will we." Last week, the Wilkes College soccer team played two games, nipping Moravian on Wednesday by a score of 1-0, but succumbing to East Stroudsburg by a 3-0 decision on Saturday. The hooters are 1-2 thus far this season. The contest with Moravian was hard fought , with both teams evenly matched. The Greyhounds, exhibiting excellent passing, threatened innumerable times but were thwarted each time by the stubborn Colonel defense led by goalie Lou Szabados. Szabados was the mainstay on defense, registering 20 saves during the game. Moravian took command immediately foll owing the opening gun and kept the ball in Wilkes territory during most of the first period. With booming kicks and smooth passing, the Greyhounds tried unsuccessfuily to penetrate the impregnable wall of the Colonel defenders. In the second period, the Ferrismen gathered their forces and drove toward the Moravian goal. The Greyhound defenders, however, refused tq , yield, and the first half ended in a scoreless tie. During the third period and most of the fourth, both teams tried desperately to score but were unsuccessful in · their attempts. The defenses of both teams played brilliantly, refusing to succumb to their opponent's attack. Then, with less than eight minutes left to play, Moravian committed an infraction and Dick Morgan was given a free kick at the goal. Morgan zipped the ball into the · net, thus sealing Moravian's doom. W inebrake (65), Grohowski (87), and Popovich (34) in pile up near Moravian goal. Winebroke Goins BE AC ON "Athlete" Award; EC AC Outstanding Lineman Teamwork and rugged line play, as displayed in last Saturday's contest with thi; Greyhounds of Moravian, have made Pete Winebrake recipient of this issu.e's BEACON Award. Pete's offensive blocks and more than sparkling defensive plays led him to receive further recognition by being chosen as the ECAC outstanding lineman for the second week in a row. Pete, who now resides in Butler Hall, is a native of Clark Summit, Pennsylvania, where he attended Clark Summit High School. Pete played four years of football and four years of baseball and lettered in both while attending high school. Upon graduating from high school, Pete then entered the 1957freshman class at Wilkes. After completing one year, however, Pete then set out to fulfill his military obligation and entered the Army for three years. With his tour of duty complete, Pete then returned to Wilkes, and to the good fortune of the Colonel football team. At Wilkes Pete also contributes his efforts to the baseball team and is currently president of the Lettermen's Club . Now in his Senior year, the six foot, 195 pound, Business Administration major has been receiving high acclaim as one of the ASTROLOGY BOOK PROVES BOON IN NATIONAL GRID PROGNOSTICATIONS by David Dugan My new astrology book has proved to be an asset to me.

This week, as football swings into its fourth big weekend, I am going to select a top ten, which will include the t.eams that I think are the top teams in the country. My selections are based on thr number of games won by a team, the opponents these teams have faced , and how convincing the victories have been. Here is my first top ten: I . Oklahoma 2. Alabama 3.

Oklahoma, the top team in the country, I-as a superb backfield with quarterback Bob Page, halfback Joe Don Looney. and fullback Jim Grisham. Texas' strength lies in tackle Scott Appleton. tailback Tommy Ford, and halfback Ernie Koy. An interesting side light of the game features teacher, Bud Wilkinson of Oklahoma, against his former star, Coach Darrell Royal of Texas. Oklahoma will win in a close game. 6. Southern California 7.

The program will be enti rely on the initiative of prospective members of this year's squad, and will consist of running and calisthenics. The workouts will be held at Kirby Park on Tuesdays from 3 to 4, Wednesdays from 4 to 5, Thursdays from 4 to 5, and Fridays from 3 to 4. Anyone interested in joining the swim team is asked to meet promptly at the above times in the YMCA, where lockers will be available. Prospective members should provide themselves with old clothes or sweatsuits for the workouts. Navy over Southern Methodist Navy's quarterback. Romping Roger Staubach, is definitely the best quarterback in the country. Last week he broke his own Navy rushing mark, set the week before. S.M.U. has a nifty runner in Billy Cannon and fine linemen in John Hughes and John Knee, but Navy's Jolly Roger will be too much for them. Penn State over Army - Penn State's lazy "T" offense cont inues to baffle opponents. "P" back, Don Caum, a nd guard Harrison Rosdahl, are standouts for the Lions. Army has an adequate backfield with quarterback Rollie Stichweh and halfbacks Ken Waldrop and Johnny Johnson, but the Black H ere are a few more picks: Nebraska Knights of the Hudson don't !~ave the over Air Force; Alabama over Florida; all-around strength to stop Penn State. Arkansas over Baylor; Duke over CalSouthern California over Notre Dame ifornia; Georgia Tech over Tennessee; - Southern Cal's four B's - Beathard, Ohio State over Illinois; Kansas over Bedsole, Bame and Brown are too Iowa State; L.S.U. over Miami; Mispowerful for a sophomore lad en Notre souri over Kansas State; Wisconsin Dame. Paul Costa and Ji m Snowden over Purdue; Syracuse over U.C.L.A.; Wilkes over P .M.C. · are the top backs for the Irish. photo by Bob Cardillo most valuable linemen the Colonels have possessed in years. In Saturday's game Pete excelled on both offense and defense as he displayed a fine examp le of rugged grid play. On various occasions Pete craslicd through the staunch Moravian forward wall to completly stifle oncoming Greyhound threats. After a sample of Winebrake's defensive work, t be Moravian backs were a little more than slightly hesitant in running plays through the middle of the Colonel line. Pete is not known as the spectacular hero who bulls his way through the line to throw the opposition for loss after loss. However he is regarded as a steady defensive threat who seems to be at the right place at just the right time to thwart the hopes of his opponents. As co-captain of the Colonel squad, Pete is an asset which the team is fortunate to possess. Pete feels that if the team produces in Saturday's game with P .M.C. as it did last week, the outcome wi ll surely result in a Colonel victory. Shutout by E.S.S.C. On Saturday, October 5, Wilkes was completely overpowered by the hooters from East Stroudsburg State College. The men of the "Phys. Ed. Factory" outplayed the Colonels in every department in gaining the shutout. Scoring thrusts by Kuder and Grube put Stroudsburg on top at the half. The Ferrismen tried time and again to get into the scoring column, but were stopped on every occasion. In the second half, Wilkes tr ied unsuccessfully to score. The hooters were continua lly thrown back by the stubborn Stroud defense. Renno iced the VOCAL GYMNASTICS game for Stroudsburg with his 30 foot boot late in the fourth quarter, giving E.S.S.C. the 3-0 decision. This week the Wilkesmen will again by Pauline Bostjancic engage in two contests.

The final presentations will be tonight at 8:30 and tom orrow at 9. W eeks of work and an in.fin ite number of problem s have driven cast and crew close to distraction . Mr. Groh cites too much furnitur e and too man y flat s as the major problem . A T\I sh ow that has been adapt.ed for the stage, I Spy has three separate units, wit h a constan t shift of action fr o m one unit to the other.

Therefore Jack Kirick , who is in charge of ligh ting, m ust by so me process of regen eration , gro w thirty hands to manipulate the switches during ligh ting chan ges. There is chaos on top of chaos since Ed Lipinski, the other half of the thirty-hand team, also has a par t in th e play. In his spare tim e, he b11ilds w ts. The plays required several special eff ects. Blanche Rubin des igned a ma sk on a stick for a scene in C ecile, in wh ich Ruth Friedland rr is wooed by her fath er, who is foo led by the mask. Dress reh earsal was also hectic, with many changes enacted. Just before it began , several gir ls were sitting on the flo or recovering chairs, while several other fier;idishly fini shed pain tin g the furnitur e. Bill Pucilowski discovered that his settin gs, which featured trees made from sti~ks , were not quite right , so he painted the sticks to make ar bors. This touch wa s just what the set needed . Mr . Groh says that this fr enzied behind- the-scenes activity "e m phasizes that a play is an organic thing that develop s as !JOU go along." John Ja recki and Beverly Hanko reh earse their roles of lover and wife in " I Spy." BEACON PICTURE RIOT WEDNESDAY THE COMMONS BLOOD DONOR DAY OCT. 18 FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4 , 1963 Vol. XXVIII, No. 3 Gail Roberts Elected; Large Turnout al Polls by Lois Petroski After vigorous ca mpaigning by both Ca il Roberts and Fred Smithson, the St ud ent Government electi on committee a nnounced Miss Roberts as th e seni or representation winner. In tallying the votes, the committee d iscove red th at 140 members of the senior class cast ba llots. The turnout was one of the largest ever witnessed at a spec ia l election. Ninety-one seni ors voted for Miss Roberts whil e 49 of them cast ba llots for Mr. Smithon. Th e elect ion of Dick Burns as Student Government pres ident for the 1963-64 yea r necessitated the electi on. T he presidency is set a part from the four represen tative positions in the seni or year. Thus, should the president-elect be a seni or, as is the case wit h Dick Burns, hi s class actu a ll y has bu Charlot te W etzel As a resu lt of the coord inated effor ts of Margie H arri s and Jim Tredinni ck, a new campus orga n izat ion w ill come in to existence in the immedi ate futu re.

According to Jim, CORE has cha pters in many northern co lleges. "Acti vities of CORE on our campus will consist of student di scuss ion groups wh ich will try to stimulate interest in rac ial issues.

The goal of the '63 ca mpaign, as in the past, is th e contributi on of one do ll ar from eve ry stud ent. Since there are over 1300 st ud ents at the college, that figure has been offi cia ll y set as the quota of thi s year's campa ign. Th e United Fund committee is particularly a nxious to see this goa l realized as it has never bee n done in the hi story of the dri ve. Contributions to the United Fund wi ll be made th rough dormitori es, clubs, and classes. There will be a trop hy awarded to the organi za tion in each category which co ntributes th e most to the drive. In add ition to the student ca m pa ign, there will a lso be a United Fund Dri ve for the faculty at the co ll ege. The U nited Fund Committee is in hopes of generat in g greater interest in th e cam paign on the part of the Freshman Class. It has been traditional for the freshmen to contribute more to the drive tha n a ny ot her class, but the Class of '65 has captured th at trophy for th e past two yea rs.

Besides fu ncti on ing as a cam pus organi zatio n, the group will engage in activities in the city of Wilkes-Barre. It will coopera te with the Wilkes-Barre Adult Chapter of NAACP and the Wyoming Valley Human Ri ghts Comm iss ion. In coordination with these orga nizations members can di stribute litera ture, canvass from door to door, conduct interviews for public opini on surveys, and contact business places to have them sign " fair trea tment" pledges in dealing with customers a nd employees. Jim stated that the new CORE cha pter will participate in activity off ca mpus "on the grounds that di scrim - Manuscript Selects Movies ination in our country is harmful to our people as citizens." Furthermore, he expressed a desire to have the campus chapter cooperate with CORE chapters in New York and Philade lphia with the possibility of participatin g i_n freedom demonstrations. Jim a nd Margie are supporting CORE as opposed to any other civ il ri ghts groups beca use " it is the seco nd most militant and active group in the cou ntry."

In last week's senior class student governme nt election., approximately 70 % of the seniors voiced their opinion through one of the largest student votes recorded in recent ljears . This sizeable turn-out - larger than that of the general elections last spring - astounded many . In view of the lacadaisical attitude of the student body in the past and the fact that this interim election is not usually an attention-getter, this lively response seems to in dicate a change of attitude; a sudden recognition of the fact that the function s of student government are of vital interest to all of us . Even th e most disinterested sophisticate among us cannot escape the influe nce o f the council's decisions which reach into every realm of student life. In the past many of us blithely igno red our governing body until we wanted something from them or until thi;y took action w.e disagreed with; then we labeled them inefficient or " do-nothing." All of us want so mething from student government eve n if it be o nly the reflected glory from the goo d reputation that an acti ve, progressive council can gain for a school. If we want something, common se nse dictates that we go after it. To in.sure an efficient student council which will accomplish what we think it should, we must lay the groundwork by se:~ing that the bes t qualified people are elected and then cooperate with them . Disinteres t and lack of participation are self-defeating. Let's fac e facts - there are only 17 student govern ment represe ntatives out of a student body of 1300. Th erefor e, student government is what we make it. , Th e se niors have obviously realized this. '\Ve hope that it won't take the fr:~s hmen quite so long. OUR FAIR SHARE With the kick-off of the United Fund Drive on. campus tonight will come the perennial questions " Why a drive on. a college campus - especially since many of th e students are non - residents ." Th e answer to that question lies in the fact that Wilkes is a community college and balancing the bene fit s reaped by a community college are the obligations. Although community aid is give n freely to the school, we have a moral res ponsibility to repay it, at least in part. One way of doing this is by a contribution to the community United Fund from the college as a unit, thus carrying our " fair share" of the community burden. The amount we are asked to contribut.e is small - only $1.00 per student an amount that we all fritt er away in one or two trips to the "ca f" . But it is significant because it symboliz.es recognition of our debt to th e community . HEIRLOOMS AIRED The Beacon has decided to hold over its giga ntic picture offer. Wednesday , in the cafeteria, a view ing will be held featurin g such ex-cam pus celebrities as Ophelia O gle ("Miss South River St." , 1947) and Sen. Sam Snertz (D .-Alaska) . These heirlooms are go ing for the in.expensive fee of one nickel. Should someone not have this amount available, five pennies will be accepted. Exhibit will be held all day . 11/Atlt • 11/Ae!4e Friday, October 4, 1963 • Letter to the Editor Often we hea r students sayi ng that they are not particularily concerned a bout co llege and what it has to offer. There are th ousa nds of high school graduates who would like to attend the co ll ege of their choice but cannot because the college is already strai nin g its limits of capacity. P erhaps this type of college student should take stock of thi s and begin to find what a college educati on has to offer. This is important enough for one's own educat ional advancement, let a lone the cou ntri es'. One can glance at a ny news paper and find scores of ads for p r o g r a m mer s, mathematicians, teachers, and other sk illed professional s. I ~EAR THIS REALL-Y NEW TEACHER.

Sincerely, Richard M. Frederick Miner Hall THE BALLOT BOX by Vinc e McHale Puerto Rico, discovered by Columbus on his second voyage to America in 1493, is an island about 100 mil es long and about 35 mil es wide at the northeastern end of the Carib bean Sea. It is a self- governing Commonwealth, freely and voluntarily associated with the United States. The island was forme rl y an unincorporated territory of the U.S. being ceded by Spain as a result of th e Spanish-American War. The Commonwealth, esta blished in 1952, is one of the most densely populated areas in the world, with about 683 inhabitants per square mile.

In th is time of wo rld tension and cold war, which can turn so eas il y to the hea t of the sun, we all have a normal human tendency to grow deaf to the constant warnings and threats deli vered to our country from home and abroad. by Doug Bennington CHURCH AND STATE IN AMERICA The principle of separation of church and state, a long accepted dogma of American democracy, is aga in rece iving public attention primari ly a~ a result of recent U nited States Supreme Court dec isions affectin"g relig ious practices in public schools. The public response to th ese dec isions concerning official schoo l prayers (Engel vs. Vitale ) and read ing from th e Bible in the nation's publ ic schools (Murrau vs Curlett) vari ed from ca lm if reluctan t acceptance to h ysterical denunciation of the Supreme Court. Siner two traditional religious practices of American public sc hools were declared unconstituti onal, a rather ',eated national debate arose over the function of reli gion in the schools. From th is often confusing debate a quest ion may arise in the minds of many Americans for the first time: what is the relat ion between reli gious belid, individual and orga ni zed, to the political sphere in modern Am erican society? Jn Ameri ca the relati on between reli gion and the politica l sphere is based on the separation of Church and State. This separation, in law and in practice. places the Church as the organ;zed. institutional expression of individual faith and as a provider of spiritual , ethical, and mora l beli efs for its adh erents in an "officially" separate, di sti nct area in society from that of the State, the politica l overseer of the secular, tempora l rea lm of society. Separa ti on of Church and State, however, is more d ist inct in theory tran practice in America, a factor which is often overlooked in debate co ncerning religion and politics. Illustrations of what Americans say and wh at they do in connection with reli gion and the State will be cited in future a rticles. The separation of Church and State is a complex issue which is often entangled among the thorns of unthinking emotion, bigotry, and a struggle for power and influence among reli ~ious groups. In enter ing the arena ·vhercin spokesmen fo r reli gion or the State confront one another, one may ·nff.t the " purist" who beli eves in a b~o lute, comp lete separation between Cl1urch and State or the "adjuster" who seeks to find a middle way between the needs and demands of the sacred and the secul ar, without violatir l!'. th e Constituti on a nd tradition. T he writer makes no pretense of understanding fully the diverse forces, pass ions. and lega l points that suryound th e topic, yet it is important to bring to the attenti on of students an asnect of nati ona l life that is too often taken for gra nted reli gious liberty in a comp lex. industrial soc iety. That wi lJ be the subject of tliis column for the next few issues of the Beacon, sta rting next week with an examination of the histor ical roots of se pa ration of Church a nd .State. cve r, it has one of the hi gh est living standards in Lat in America making it an enviable econom ic " plum" for Cuba's Fidel Castro. The prime feature of Puerto Ri ca n economic developm ent has been "Operati on Bootstrap," one phase of which has establish ed more than 600 new fa ctories on the island. r The current political rel ationsh.ip between the U.S. a nd Puerto Rico has been somethin g of a puzzle, being compared by many to a "mass of modeling clay."

Powell has of late come to be an outspoken advocate of statehood for the tiny Commonwealth, and it has been overhea rd that his long range asp irations ca ll for a U.S. Senate seat for Puerto Rico in th e near future. The present Commonwealth Governor, Luis Munez Marin, considers the ex isti ng political relat ionsh ip as a "new form of politi ca l freedom in ha rmony with economic freed om," whatever th at means. Governor Munez is a firm supporter of the present Commonwea lth sta tus but on a much firmer basis with the U.S. But what of the Puerto Ricans themselves and their direct relationship with th e U.S.? This is perhaps th e most confusing of all. Technically, they are U.S. citi zens, but they do not vote in national electi ons, nor do they have voting representation in Congress. Most important of a ll, they do not pay federa l income taxes. Puerto Ricans do, however, pay Social Security taxes and receive Social Security benefits.

See BALLOT BOX Page 4 , �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 4, 1963 Colonels Vie With Morovion In Parents' Doy Contest Tomorrow Popovich Earns BEACON Award By Outstanding Play In Season's Opener Gridders Drop Opener to Lebanon Valley 13-6 M erle Bolen "Athlete of the Week" As the Colonels of Wilkes College launch their 1963 grid campaign, the Beacon also launches its annual "Athlete of the Week" series. This week the Beacon has chosen fullback Gary Popovich as the outstanding grid star for his performance in last Saturday's contest with the Flying Dutchmen of Lebanon Valley College. The six foot, 215 pound, Chemistry Major hails from Meyers High School where he lettered in footba ll, basketball, and baseball. At Wilkes Gary also contributes his efforts to the baseball team and is currently a mem her of the Chemistry Club. A transfer student from Lafayette College, Gary has managed to maintain a high level of academic ach ievement. Gary was selected as an outstanding example of determination, endurance, and rugged grid play. In Saturday's game Gary excelled by consistently carrying the ball for good yardage on a drive wh ich paved the way to the on ly Colonel touchdown. On many occasions Popovich refused to be brought down as he bulled his way through the line of the opposing defense. He also provided some key offensive blocking which led to major Colonel gains into Dutchmen territory. Although Gary is primarily known as an offensive threat, he is also resprcted by opposing ball carriers. He contributed to the defensive attack by smashing through the Dutchmen line to break up Lebanon Valley plays before thEy got a chance to start. Bfcause of his speedy offense and crus'1in •'. defense Gary Popovich has been selected as recipient of this issue's Beacon Award. It was a discouraged Wilkes football team which returned to the dressing room after losing the season's opener to Lebanon Valley 30-6. Although weakened by graduation losses, the Dutchmen put together a strong backfield combination in Wes MacMillan, John Vaszily and John Kimmel. It was these three who produced Lebanon Valley's two touchdowns. Vaszily tossed a pass to Kimmel for the initial score with Bill DiGiacomo booting the PAT, and MacMillan scored the final tally on a run. ·wilkes' main problem seemed to be lack of cohesion. The Colonels failed to put up a sustained attack in a contest which saw them go from hot to cold. However, the middle of the line , feared to have been weakened by graduation losses, performed admirably in forcing Lebanon Valley to go to the outside for any appreciable yardage. Another factor appeared to be spotty pass defense and blocking which could use just a little edge. Wilkes saw some fine runs turned in by Gary Popovich and John Gardner. Popovich, at fullback, bulled his way for extra yardage and in addition played a stell ar defensive game. Gardner made several fine runs around the ends which netted good yardage for the Colonels. He also scored the lone Wilkes tally. Ed Comstock and Ted Travis-Bey also chipped in with some ~ood runs. Travis-Brey had one esp: cially nifty punt return. MORAVIAN STRONG Tomorrow Wilkes faces a tough opponent in Moravian. The Greyhounds appear particularly strong, with a wealth of returning lettermen, including quarterback Andy Semmel and end Pat Mazza. Both Semmel and Mazza were named to the MAC Northern Division first team last year.

Yet, Lebanon Valley plays again this year a Moravian team, wh ich is almost in tact, and which clobbered the Cutchmen last year 30-8. Actually, Lebanon Valley 's respect for Wilkes was not simply a fear of the dark. The Colonels have a potential powerhouse, if only enough spirit flickers to set it off. Tomorrow may be the day, with Colonels at home on Parents' Day. It may be that the Moms and Dads will give the gridders a little extra moral support. Wilkes, with a sol id line and good backfield. could go through the season in fine shape and come up with a g:ood year if the Colonels develop an attack wl::ich attacks every second of the game. Ferrismen Downed By Warriors of Lycoming by Donald Defranco Traveling to Lycoming last Saturday for the first regular season contest, the Wilkes soccer team was handed a 3-0 defeat by the strong Warrior hooters. Lycoming scored all of its points in the first quarter and then sett led down to protect its lead. The first goal came within the first five minutes of play on a boot by Lvcoming center forward Feigley. The other two goals for the Williamsport squad wrrc scored by Burr and Whitney, and this completed the scoring for the quarter and the game. Although caught napping in the first quarter, the Ferrismen stood firm in the remaining and thwarted the Lycoming drives. Junior goalie Louis Szabados turned in some fine saves to keep the Colonels' hopes alive. This year Coach Ferris' hooters are relatively inexperienced, but they have the potrntial to develop into a fine team. The defense, following last week's baptism of fire in the first quarter, has jelled into a solid, deterrent force, but a well-balanced, scoring offense must be developed if the team is to have a winning season. Next week the Colonels will play two contests, one with East Stroudsburp: on Saturday, Oct. S at the Wilkes Athletic Field, and the ot her at Stevens on Wednesday, Oct. 9. The game with Moravian was played on Wednesday but tloe score of that game was not available at the time of this writing. Page 3 Crocked Crystal Boll Replaced By Astrology Book In Forecasts Last week disaster struck. I picked 5 right and 6 wrong for a lowly .45 percentage. During the week, I traded in my old crystal ball for one new astrology book, and I am going to use the stars to help me. The top upset of the week was Southern California's loss to Oklahoma. Southern Cal played an aroused Oklahoma team, but their loss was primarily due to a rule which I feel has no place in college football. Late in the fourth-quart.er, a Southern Cal end recovered a Sooner fumble and broke into the clear for a sure T.D. , but was called back because of a rule that the defensive team cannot advance a fumble by the offensive team. The whole idea of defense is to get the ball and the rule hurts the defensive team, who could possibily score a touchdown in the excitement of a fumble . This ru!.e cost the Trojans the game, and most likely a second national championship. Pittsburgh over California - Pitt has a new look. An offense lead by Q.B. Fred Mazurek and a line averaging 226 pounds. California lacks depth and their Q.B. Craig Morton has a bad knee. Georgia T ech over LSU Tech's combination of quarterback Billy Lothrid ge to end Billy Martain plus their strong defense will stop LSU, hurt by the new substitution rule. Fullback Canny LeBlanc is their big threat. Northw estern over Illinois Both squads are very strong but Northwestern quarterback Tom Meyers makes the difference in this Big Ten clash.

Many students are perhaps unaware that on October 5, they will be conducting an exReturning to the campus to purperiment of their own, which will involve the presentation of the chase their books a few weeks ago, students were greeted by a number first Fall Pare nts' Day Program. of workmen industriously engaged It is true, that in the past, Spring Parents' Day has provided an opportunity for parents to visit the campus and acquaint themselves with its customs in ge neral; however, the picture which they received actually lacked a great deal of color and variety. This was primarily due to the fact that at this time of the year, most of the academic and athletic programs had been completed, and the glimpse of college life which they rece ived was without the depth and variety usually prese nt during the academic year. This year, however, through the combined efforts of Mr. Hoover's Parents' Day Planning Committee, and the entire student body, a program will be pr.ese nted in an entirely different atmosphere. Parents will be given an opportunity to observe campus activity as it is actually experienced by the students . Th e foo tball and soccer ga mes, individual exhibits of academic techniques, consultation and discus sion with professors, and informal talks with parents of fellow class mates will all be part of the day's activities. A great deal of work has bee n put into the setting up of this plan, but its method of execution remains up to you. Although each parent has received an invitation, it may take some initiative and display of interes t on your behalf to co nvince them to become a part of this program. Remember, this is your experiment, and only you as an individual can decide whether or not it will be a success. J.f.K.

All opinions expressed by columnists and special writers including letters to the editor are not necessa rily those of this publi ca tion but those of the individuals. Every cou ntry in the world seems to have its rebellious, nonconformist youth , who scorn and rid icule all authority whether they are the " T eddy Boys" of Great Brita in, "Les Blazons N oirs" of Fra nce, or even our ow n Amer ica n brand of problem yout h. Curiousl y enough and des pite a ll precaut ions taken by the government to insure a hermetica ll y sealed a nd conformist society, the present youth of the Sov iet Union are no different from the ir cou nterparts around th e globe. The Sov iet problem youth a ppea r to be stratifi ed into several levels, each refl ect ing a differen t outlook and each represent ing a different eco nom ic plane of the Soviet soc iety . Perh a ps th e m ost whi spered about, yet n ever offic ially acknow ledged group, for reasons apparent, is the "Jet Set. " This group is composed of bri ght youngsters of the elite class who are bored w ith the drabn ess of their su rroundings. By virtue of their parents pos iti on, those of th e ("Jet Set" have plenty of rubles to spend a nd relish hi gh living, mea ning black market recordings of h ot jazz records, smuggled cop ies of Vogu e and The N ew Yorker, a nd fancy cl othes. They desp ise a nd scorn their less-fortunate contemporari es. On a different level a re th e Stilyagi (sty le-ch asers) who are nothing more tha n yo ung hoo li gans, zoot-suiters, or pl a in juvenil e delin quents. These youngsters are commonly referred to as "Teddy Boys" or mitrofanushki. H an ging out at restaurants a nd bistros, they sport long si deburns and other eccentric dress, gyrat ing to th e rhythms of boogiewoog ie a nd rock'n'roll. The Stilyagi consider themselves to be sophi sticated and emanc ipated from the norms of Soviet soc iety. One reason for the Stilyagi is aga in the unbearable fru strati on th at seem s to affect young peo ple in the Sov iet Union, even as it smites youngsters in the U.S. The U .S. does have teen age ga ngsters, but in Russi a much less opportunity for outl ets ex ists than in America. Most young peop le in the Sov iet U nion have nothin g to buy, nothing to do a fter schoo l, a nd no where to go. Frustrati on leads to exaggerated behav ior leading ultimately to the depths of alco holism . The problem h as become quite ser ious - as with juvenile delinquency in the U.S. Recentl y, the Pres idium of the RSF SR issued a decree to " intens ify the struggle aga inst petty hooliganism" and "save Moscow's honor." The decree spec ified tha t a ny " Teddy Boy" or zoot-suiter picked up for " minor outrages" is su bj ect imm ediately to arrest a nd imprisonm ent for a period of 3 to IS days without a ppea l! Ko mso m olskaua Pravda, the Soviet youth journa l, describes the Stilyagi as such: " Who is not fami li ar with these utterl y repulsive young men, wi th their ultramodish jackets, thei r ultrati ght and ultrashort tro users and their eccentr ic neckti es of a ll colors of the ra inbow, and with an air of self sat isf ied stupidity on th eir faces? . . . Or with the eve n more di sgusting girls, w ith their p itiful bristles of cropped hair, and their shoes that remind one of caterpi ll a r tractors." The lesson tha t can be learned from all thi s is the a pparent uni versa lity of problem youth throughout the world. Desp ite a lmost 46 years of Communist struggle to remake the "Soviet Man ," free from the ev il s of the ca pita list ic society. th e present Russ ian youth are no different from their contemporar ies in ot her lands. Too many times we tend to view a country's troubles only in terms of their internati on al affa irs and poli tica l tensions, when in rea lity it is the interna l probl ems that are most crucia l. Youth is a force to be reckoned wit h a nd m ay one day sp lit th e Soviet U ni on wide ope n. ✓ �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, September 27, 1963 Krieger Does Summer Work In Congressman's Ollice by Joyce Lennon were a pprox imately 400 students from th e entire co untry serving in the capital.

The last time Wilkes went up against the Dutchmen was in 1960 when the Colonels dropped a 14-8 dec:sion at Annville. It seems that Lebanon Va lley has always proved an immovable object to the Wilkesmen. Coach Schmidt's grid machine will be out to avenge past embarrassments and try to gain on the total log compiled with the Blue and White. In a series which ran from 1953 to 1960, the Colonels were able to win one game out of the eight contests. The Schmidtmen will also be shooting to improve last season's 3-4 record, and may accomplish that feat with some thing to spare if their fortunes are not hampered by any mishaps. It seems that several of the Colonels are hurting from mJuries incurred from their recent practice sessions, but the team appears to be well drilled and in excellent condition. This season t liere appears to be added desire and determination from the Colonel camp. The boys are anxious to put their long hours of practice into actual use. Line Shaping Up Originally it was thought that the line might be considerably weakened by the loss of some key players from last year's squad, but some shifting and sifting by Coach Schmidt has seemed to balance the line quite nicely. Pete Winebrake is being tried at the center spot as an attempt to compensate for the loss of Bob Herman. John Makaravitz, a freshman who attended Wilkes previously in 1959, is also a ca ndidate for the center position. The Colonels looked very good in a scrimmage against King's earlier in the season and last Sat11rday exhibited a !(real dea l of fight and spirit in an intra-squad scrimmage. Jokoto Looms us New Trend in Self Defense by Merle Bolen In the past several years there seems- to have been a great dea l of interest in self defense courses. Perhaps the first form of self defense to gai n popularity was the Japanese art of Jui-Jitsu is primarily concerned with balance, and the object is to produce a fall. Apparently, Jui -Jitsu became a little tame for the average self-defender and a more devastating means of self preservation called Karate, gai ned momentum. Unlike Jui-Jitsu, Karate is performed primarily with the hands. Calouses are developed along the outside edge and down the little fin ger making the hand into a lethal weapon. The forming of these calouses enables the Karate student to break wooden planks and tile blocks in a demonstration of his ski ll. In actua l fi ghting it is almost completely effortless to break the ribs or other bones of an opponent. Yet another mode of self-defense has appeared recently, which is even more lethal than Karate. This new form which includes both J!li-Jitsu Dutchmen Look Strong In an attempt to give some idea of 10w Lebanon Valley measures up to ·:he Colonels, last season the Flying ')utchmen were clobbered by Drexel 34- 12 whi le the Dragons squeezed by vith a close 14-12 decision over Wilkes. However, in other games Lebanon Valley fared much better :han the Colonels. The Dutchmen sou ndly drubbed Moravian 30-8 and downed P.M.C. 12-0, whi le Wilkes lost '. o Moravian in last season's opener 1.6-6. The Cadets of P.M.C. steam·olled the Colonels 30-0 in a game ·vhich Wilkes seemed to play under a rain cloud. Both Wilkes and Lebanon Valley beat Ursinus, the Colonels dow ning the Bears 12-6 and Lebanon Valley winning 21-12. Though these scores are not an accurate indication of the outcome of tommorrow's game, it is interesting to see how the two schools performed against mutual opponents. The Colonels were learn ing under their new coach last year. This season, Wilkes has had more time to spend on practicing thei r attack. If the Colonels can provide some interference for their strong backfield, Coach Schmidt and his boys should have a banner year.

Crystal Ball Returns lor Crack Al College Grid Predictions by David Dugan With the aged crystal ball polished up since last issue, and the rabbit's foot hung in a conspicuous spot on the wall, the BEACON reveals its mystic powers with chin out and fingers crossed. This season an attempt will be made to for ecast the outcome of some of the major college games being played in the nation. For a better vantage point from which to consult with the spectral powers of the Great Beyond, I will take my assorted paraphernalia and perch myself upon a well chosen limb to make my first selection. Florida State over T .C.U. - Florida upset Miami last weekend with brilliant play from quarterback Steve Tensi and halfback Fred Biletnikoff. I feel they will do it again agai nst T .C.U. and their star fullback Tommy Crutcher. Southern California over Oklahoma - Defending national champs Southern Cal, and the powerful Sooners of Oklahoma square off at Norman, Oklahoma. The Trojans, featuring guard Damon Bame, halfback Willie Brown, quarterback Pete Beathard, and All -American end Hal Bedsole, will be too tough for the Sooners and fullback Jim Crisham to handle. Washington over Pittsburgh - This game pits a powerhouse of the West against a powerhouse of the East. Pitt has a big line which averages 226 pounds, but Washington's new "I" formation will penetrate this seemingly immovable object enough for the Huskies to come away with t he bacon. Miami over Purdue - Miami, upset last week by .Florida State, wi ll gain its first win at the expense of Purdue. All-American quarterback, George Mira, had a bad ni ght last Friday. He won't have two in a row. Air Force Academy over Colorado State Fresh from an upset over Washington, the Falcons wi ll continue to fly high. Army over Cincinnati- Coach Paul Dietzel of Army had to abandon his three team system because of rule changes, but by the looks of the Black Knights rout of Boston University, Dietzel has appeared to overcome that obstacle. Cincinnati just doesn't have the power to out manuever the Army. Navy over William and Mary The Middies, wi.th quarterback Roger Starbuck and halfback Johnny Sai, routed West Vfrginia. William and Mary will get \he same treatment. Syracuse over Kansas - Syracuse is on the rebound in college footba ll and face a tough opponent in the Jayhawks. The Orange line averages 228 pounds, and this factor is enough to stop Kansas. L.S.U. over Rice - L.S.U. ventured into the Southwest conference last week and beat Texas A&M. I pick L.S.U. to repeat itself. Georgia T ech over ClemsonTech's defense and quarterback Billy Lothridge will make it a long afternoon for A.C.C. standout Clemson. While tough in its own league, Clemson is no match for its strong intersectional foes, as last week's loss to Oklahoma proves.

VARSITY AIDS IN OWN DOWNFALL Up by Clark line, Sports Editor In Europe, one of the major sports -~ pastimes is automobile racing. Countries all over continental Europe and Great Britain meet on such historic and famous battlegrounds as Le Mans, • the Mille Miglia, and the Nurburg ·'Ring, to literally test the metal of their machines. The European iron includes the worlds best, with such names as Ferrari, Jaguar, and Maseratti. Currently in this country there is a revival of sports car racing which calls to mind an era of magnificent machines driven by men whose nerve and devotion to their profession is unsur• pass~d in sports history. Such names as Phil Hill, Stirling Moss, and Dan Gurney are among the present day drivers who have distinguished themselves and their cars. But, according to Ken Purdy, in his Bantam publication entitled, "The Kings of the Road," a man by the naml' of Tazio Giorgio Nuvolari was the driver who surpassed all others, past and present, in skill, nerve and racing acclaim. Born in Mantua, Italy in 1892, Nuvolari began racing automobiles in 1921 after gaining fame as a motorcycle racer. He placed 2nd in his class • that year in the Garda Circuit (his first race), and returned the next year to place 2nd overall. It was not until 1924 that he won the Tiguillio Circuit, his first major victory. From 1924 to 1927, Nuvolari returned to the cycles. In 1927, he placed fifth in the world's toughest race, the Mille Miglia. The Mille Miglia was a gruelling 1,000 mile (Mille Miglia means "thousand miles" road race beginning at Brescia, running through Rome and returning up the Italian "boot" through Florence, Milan, and back to Brescia. Nuvolari completed the course in 16 hours, 18 minutes, and 59 seconds in winning. He was the first man to average better than 62 miles per hour on the course. OWES FAME TO DARING In his lifetime, Nuvolari was to go on to win 64 of 130 races, 54 of them being won regardless of engine class. In all, he won 12 grandes epreuves (first rank) and 49 grands prix. With Nuvolari it was win or tear your machine apart trying. Yet it was not only the remarkable ability of Nuvolari to win which elevated him to the pinnacle of the greatest driver in the world. Nuvolari's unshakable courage was actually responsible for his enviable record. Once, in his cycling days, he was confined to bed for a month, which would have caused him to miss a race. His friends carried him to the track at his request, in spite of the fact that he was in a cast, and seated him on his bike. He won the race. Another occasion found Nuvolari in the Monte Pellegrino in 1950. He had to fight to bring his automobile back to the roadway after one wheel had dangled over the edge of a cliff. To Nuvolari, this incident was commonplace. He himself recalls an incident which found him faced with the predicament of being forced to leap from a racing car which was engulfed by flames and traveling at 100 miles per hour. ·Near the end of his career, Nuvolari v/as unable to contend with the gas fumes from his engine and after several attempts to correct his ailment, he finally capitulated. Nuvolari died at horrie in 1953, after 29 years of racing magnificence which was in itself a significant and remarkable accomplishment. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Headquarters for Lettered . ..

LEWIS - DUNCAN SPORTS CENTER GRAHAM'S by Don De Franco Last Saturday afternoon the Wilkes varsity soccer team suffered a 3 to 2 loss at the hands of the Alumni in a hard-fought contest at Kirby Park. Fifteen graduates appeared for the game which is played annually. The Alumni drew first blood when three minutes after the opening whistle had sounded, Paul Beers' boot took a freak bounce and skittered by varsity goalie Louis Szabados. The varsity, not to be outdone by the old-timers, came roaring back and tied the score with co-captain Walt Prusakowski's thirty-foot boot. ·············································Q··· rrosh! lle1-e J II uelc,,ne gi(t ,,.,,,, 7Ae llul, l/111-,it~ ~A,p 11 E.

The remammg minutes of the first quarter and most of the second quarter were dominated by the varsit)'. Led by the passing of junior half-back Al Gilbert, the Ferrismen threatened to score innumerable times but were thwarted each time by the strong Alumni defense of Erwin Guetig. In the waning moments of the second quarter, the Alumni organized their forces and began a determined drive toward their opponent's goal. George Gaucha zipped one into the net and the Alumni led at the half, 2 to l. The varsity struck back with vengeance in the 3rd quarter and tied the score with a goal by Ted Gourly. The contest remained deadlocked throughout the third and most of the fourth quarter. Then, with two minutes left to play in the game, the Alumni scored the goal-winning tally on their second freak play of the afternoon. One of the grads boomed a towering kick toward the varsity goal, and it fell between Paul Beers and an unidentified varsityman. In the ensuing struggle for possession, the varsity member butted the ball the wrong way and it sailed past his teammate into the net. The Ferrismen tried desperately to score, but time ran out before they could mount an effective attack . An outstanding sideline of the game was the outstanding play turned in by Walter Grey a junior transfer student from Annapolis, Walt teamed with the Alumni since he is ineligible to compete with the varsity. His addition to the squad next year should do much to bolster their offensive attack. Former Wilkb stars who challenged the varsity wete: George Gacha, Erwin Guetig, Charles Weiss, Lou Davis, Ronald Simms, Joe Morgan, Bill Lloyd, Frank Lepore, Charles Billings, Clyde Roberts, Ken Stocker, Charles Stocker, Paul Beers, and Mike Lewis. The Wilkes varsity hooters will open their regular season of 10 games at Lycoming College on Saturday. The squad, led by co-captains Dick Morgan and Walt Prusakowski, are coached by Jim Ferris.

Directed by Mr. Al Groh, these plays are situation comedies that "make a satirical thrust at our society and the conventions we accept." I Spy, which will run approximately fo rty-five minutes, involves the eternal triangle of wife (Beverly Hanko) , husband (Al Airola), and lover (John Jarecki) . The action of the story involves the attempts of a private detective to find evidence concerning the wife's escapades. Also included in the cast are Anita Minelli and Joe Muccino. In C ecile, the heroine, played by Ruth Friedlander, plans an elopement which her distracted father tries to Friday, September 27, 1963 prevent. Marc Hirschman, as the father, defines his role as "difficult", due to the quick changes of voice and temperament. Joan Pitney considers her part as Araminthe, Cecile's governe ss, as "sixth-d imensional." Harris Tobias plays Araminthe's father, and quotes his favorite line as being, " I was hotblooded when I was twenty." Ed Lipinski assumes the part of Cecile's lover. Bill Pucilowsky has designed the sets for both plays. The set for I Spy proved to be quite complex, because it requires three different acting areas which will be lighted when used. Stage managers are Ed Lipinski and John Jarecki. Lighting will be handled by John Krip, Bill Pucilowsky, and Ed Lipinski.

For the Beacon Editorial Staff it tnarks the beginning of our year's tour of duty and, quite naturally, with all the enthusiasm of a fledgling staff, we are anxious to set forth the ideals and objectives that will propel us through the next year. The basis for these ideals and objectives can be found in our conception of the function of the college newspaper. As set down in the Editorial Policy of the B eacon, the purpose of the student paper is "to keep its readers fully and accurately and truthfully informed. As long as a paper does this, it can promote its own policies." The basic policy of this year's editorial staff will be to encourage the use of the Beacon as a unifying force to knit together all campus groups into an integrated whole. Even on a relatively small college campus such as ours, the individual student is too busy with his major course of study and necessa rily limited range of activities and friends to keep abreast of all academic and extra-curricular activities. On the other hand, we on the B eacon staff have the facilities and organization to examine each facet of campus activity and present a synopsis to the busy student so that he can feel a part of the " whole" rather than just an isolated atom. We also have the facilities to extend the scope of student discussion from narrow circles of acquaintances to the entire student body through the avenues of our feature and letters to the editor columns. By thus acting as a clearing house for student activities and discussion, we feel that we can facilitate communication between divergent groups on campus and we urge the student body to use us for this purpose. We honestly feel and we wa nt you to feel that this is your newspaper. WELCOME BACK The B eacon staff, as spokesman for the student body, exte nds a hearty welcome to our President, Dr. Eugene S . Farley, who is back en campus after his recent bout with ill health. We' re glad to have you back at the helm again, Dr. Farley! ORIENTATION- RECIPROC AL PROCESS We dedicate this issue of the B eacon to the incoming freshmen- the class of '67 who are " made for heaven. " These next few weeks belong to them, and rightly so, for they are the ones that will carry on the tradition when we are gone. How they carry on depends to a considerable extent on how well they are oriented to campus life right from the start. Richard Shemo and his Orientation Committee have done a thorough job of preparing a program that will set these newcomers off on the right foot but, of course, their groundwork will be useless without the cooperation of every upper classmen. However rather than making the usual appeal to the noble instincts of the upperclassmen, we ask them instead to consider the advantages that the orientation program holds for them. Too often orientation is thought of as a one-way process- we aid the frosh who are passive recipients of our assistance. But, in reality the relationship is a reciprocal one. Each freshman comes to campus with the enthusiasm, interest, and unblurred vision that we jaded upperclassmen have often left far behind us. In sharing the experiences of our "little siste rs and brothers" we are virtually forced to take a second look at the institutions and functions around us. Thus, forced to reexamine the "familiar'', we find things we hadn't noticed before or that we had forgotten. This taking stock of our attitudes and emotions is not only challenging but profitable- we may even make a complete about face and start off in a new direction pointed out by our freshmen guides. This possibility coupled with the satisfaction reaped by helping out a fellow student- we all remember how it felt to be "green"- certainly makes the orientation process a profitable experience for both frosh and old timers.

The Ballot Box by Vince McHale TO TEST OR NOT TO TEST? THE QUESTION A side from the rece nt civil rights demons tra tions a nd racial le n3ion, perhaps the most d ebated topic in Ame rica during the pas t few weeks has been the possible pa rti cipation of the United States in a Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty. Fears have been voiced hy those opposing I.he move tha t the Treaty is littl e more than a Communist trap d esigned to weak e n our country milita ril y. P e rha ps this is true ; but will the ratification of the Tes t -B a n Treaty rea ll y weaken our defense e ffort as those against the m easure claim it will? It is the opinion of this writer that i t won' t if certain pos itive steps a re taken now. The program - The United States m:ist improve our conventiona l ground forces a nd weapons. America is a strong , powerful nation in possession of a powerful nu clear dete rrent; but what else? The mighty a rmi es and navies that won World War II have a ll but di sappea red , and in their p!ace a whole n ew array of a dva nced atomi c weapons and mi ssiles is receiving the energies of the U.S. d e fense effort in the remote expectation of a possible World War Ill. But, alas, Wor ld War III has not occurred prima ri ly because ea ch s id e fea rs the other too much. L est we forget, our s ta ted a bility to defe nd our idea ls a nd w:; rld com mittme nts has only been tested once since the end o f World War II in Korea and ended in a sta le m ate. Why ? Perhaps too much e m phasis a nd research was pl aced on weapons we never intended to use , instead of conve ntiona l forces. Just to cite one sad exam ple, the U.S. 24th Division e nroute by s hip from J a pan to Korea was understrength and only partially equipped ; in fac t its leading e lem ent was overwhelmed while being flown to the ba ttle fi eld. From experience s uch as t his , it is no surprise th a t many of the s maller countri es of Southeast As ia a re not impressed with our stre ngth a nd power. How can we convince the lead ers a nd citize ns of a sma ll country open to communist a ttack that we possess a powe rful nuclea r force to defend the m when underneath it is extremely doubtful that America would unl eash s u ch weapons in the s mall country 's defen se. A s how of strength m ea ns just that, the a bility to produce g round forces on the scene. The Bay of Pigs fi asco was not due to any lack of a irpower or naval gunfire, there simply were not enough m e n on the ground. Of what benefit a re all the nuclear weapons when the world s ituation today makes the infantry man or guerrilla soldie r th e d eciding factor. The United States has been a d voca ting som e typ e of Tes t-B a n Treaty for a long time a nd it would heap untold difficulties upon the U.S. if the Senate re fu sed to ratify this Trea ty . How wou ld the U.S. explain its lack of good faith abroad? What would be the world image of the United States? DICK BURNS In a n effort to reduce academic a pathy Student Government hopes to act as a n agent, co-ordinating a nd publicizing seminars s ponsored by va rious clubs a nd groups on campus. " Ki cking up issues", according to Dick, is not only a mea ns of rousing the students but can act to broaden their thinking as well . Mr. Burns' opinion of the cam pus social life is bluntly . . . " all wha t you make it." But even in this a rea Student Government plans to help. A project proposed for this year is turning the gym into a Student-Union Recreation Center once or twice a month. Various indoor s ports and games would be set uptable tennis, card games, chess, along with provisions for dancing a nd refreshments. According to Dick the social calendar for Student Government sponsored activities is much the same for (Continued on Pag e 4) I hope Ame rica has lea rned its lessen from history. The supreme effort of President Woodrow Wilson to establish the L eague of Na tions was wasted with the Senate's refusal to ratify the Treaty of Versailles, setting the stage for World War II. Everyone agrees that in dea ling with the Soviet Union ca ution must be exercised. Aga in this lesson ca n be learne d from Theodore Roosevelt who stated in 1905: " I like the Russian p eople, but I a bhor the Russian syste m of government and cannot trust the word of those at the hea d ." And from Lenin him self who stated: "The strictest loyalty to Communist ideas must be combined with the a bility to make t he necessary promises, -to scheme, to s ign agreements, to zigzag, to re treat ... a nything to haste n the coming to power of Communism." Since, in the past the Soviet officials have refused to come to terms, it can only be concluded that it is now to the best advantage to enter into such agreement. But is isn 't all to Russia's advantage ; the United States can benefit too. Defense Secretary M cNama ra was extremely specific in stating that the Treaty will not hamper or prevent d evelopment of effectice anti-missile weapons. The Treaty will result in monetary savings that could be dive rted into more produc tive chann els, s u ch as in creas ing and improving our conventional ground forces. The deces ion is wholl y up to the Senate. The Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Directors of the AEC a nd CIA have a ll urged ratifica tion provided certain safeguards are inserted. To those conserva tives who oppose ratification, I say America must awake to rea lity to those idealists who consider the Treaty a p a nacea to East-West tensions, the Cold War continues una bated. There is no doubt that the nuclear arms race will continue. The Test-Ban Trea ty does, however , represent a flickering of hope that th e pace may be slower. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday , September 20, 1963 Page 3 Up COLONELS HAVE DEPTH, SPEED, POWER BASEBALL POLL FOR WHAT ITS WORTH With the advent of the major league baseball campaign last spring, the purple prognosticators of the BEACON sports staff, in liason with certain other fearless forecasters outside of the campus limelight, ventured into the twilight zone of the sports world to predict the outcome of the current pennant race which is fast drawing to a close. With the N ew York Yankees having things sewed up in the American League and the Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals being the only two National League clubs given permission by Commissioner Ford Frick to print tickets, the BEACON omniscient oracles decided to take the sacred fleece from their dusty crystal ball and take a look at how its marvelous metaphysical manipulations of the sacred stones a nd voodoo sand paintings has fared. OUR PICKS The With es College Colonels make their 1963 gridiron debut in an encount er with t he Flying Dutchm en of L ebanon Vall ey College on Septem ber 28. The Colonels did not play L ebanon Valley last y ear and by adding the D utchm en to the schedule W ithes increased its campaign from 7 to 8 games. This year the Colonels will be feeling a little queezy in the midsection as far as their forward wall is concerned. Bob Herman, recipient of acclaim from the Middl e Atlantic Conference and Athlete of the Year last y ear, was lost through graduation as were co-captains Jerry Mohn and Bill Me neely. At the tachle spot Charles Cherundolo was also lost via the graduation rout e and L en Rishkofski is recovering from an injury. Winning Combination If Luck Doesn't Go Sour Things are not so bleak as they migh t appear at first glance, however, Coa ch Roland Schmidt has been beefing up the center of his line, a nd there are several freshma n ca ndidates for the team who are oeginnin g to turn out. One in particular, Tom F lo .-es, has drawn favorable mention from some of the upperclassmen. Ed Comstock, one of the fu llbacks, remarked that F lores is always smiling and one of the nicest people you'd wan t to meet. On the field it's another story as . Tom becomes one of the hardest hitting lineman Ed says he's run inb (literall y) in a long time. Returnin;'l" e nd Ron Grohowski remarked on F lores in the same manner. Adonizio. Both boys are seniors giving the freshman new comers a littl e experience to lean on. Coach Schmidt seems to have little to worry abou t in the backfield. There is depth a nd experience at every p:isition, with added speed and power. Don Brominski will be handling most of the signal calling with Tom Trosko to back him up. Trosko also played good defensive EootbalJ in 1962. At the receiving end cf any aeria ls emmanating from the quarterback spot will be Roger McLaughlin and Ron Grohows ki, both returning junior lettermen. John Gardner will be returning at the halfback spot and newcomer, Ed Brominski, may be his running Two more bright spots on t he line mate. The actua l starting line up is will be Pete Winebrake a nd Cha rl es s tilJ somewhat fluid. Ted Travis-Bey is having knee trouble but will provid e depth at that position. The fullback position is well laden with ta lent in Ed Com stock and Gary Popovich. Comstock was the Colonel wo rkhouse on several occasions last season and has good speed. Pop:::;vich sacrifices speed for a little more power and both boys s hould see quite a bit of action this season. Coach Schmidt has a lso added a few new series of plays to the Colonel repertoire as a nd added punch to the attack. The team is a nxious to ;'l"et started on this year's schedule, confiden t of a winning season.

The meeting will be held in McClintock Hall at eight o'clock. Originally planned as an interes t group for English majors, the group has expanded and is now open to everyone on campus. The purpose of the Forum is to offer each student the opportunity to discuss current events, literary giants, and the histories of various items. The topics a re of the student speakers' own choice and, therefore, of general interest to every college stude nt. Past topics have included the study of h a iku, the history of the guitar, the life of Socrates, progress ive education , a nd impressionisti c art.

Tending to be a little close-mouthed at first, the frosh spoke openly when they learned they were being interviewed for the Beacon, a nd not for hazing committees. Upon being told that the questions would concern every topic from the GOP nominational ticket to sex, one frosh stated bluntly, ''I'll take the last." However, the interviews largely concentrated on academic ideas ra ther than, uh, sccial ones. R easons for choosing this College for their education were varied, but tended to follow the same course. Maryann Patoka, an elementary major from West Pittston, stated that she was "influenced by friends." Art major Bob Smith said that he lea rn ed of the College from his fathe r's fri endship with a local editor. L y nn Waller, from Rosell e, N .J ., appreciated t he size of the campus. H oweve r, upon being asked her rea so n , Margie Pearlma n , from th e Bronx, la ughed and said, " I can't tell you his name." Comments on the recent Miss America pageant a lso proved to differ, in mcst cases, from the judges' choice. John Krip, a n accounting majo r from Cranford , N . J ., se lected " Mi ss H a waii ", as did Joseph Jerrytc n e from Kingston. Th en asked what be thought of the United States' new quintuplets, Jerrytone eq uipped , " As Dr. R eif says, 'It's a good thing they ' re in the sa m e species'." Elaine Geba, a representative from Kearny, N.J., ca lled the birth "q uite a feat." Yet m ost women voiced the opinion of biolcgy major Carol Cas tner, from Ply mouth . " It's a wonderful thing, but I wou ldn't want to be in Mrs. Fische r's s hoes. It's just too much to ha ndle at one time, " s he said. Miss Castner had just ha d h e r firs t college English class which , to many students , is a frightening experie nce. She stated, " I felt comfortable because the teach er knew what s he was doing. " Concerning t he most outstanding features on ca mpus, Betty Dougherty, from P lymouth , offered her choice, " D ean Rals ton-he's a striking m a n."

Laceyvil le's Dan Rosencra nce, a chemistry major, sta ted, "Th e Negro s hould have a n equal opportuni ty in ed uca tion a nd employment. On the other ha nd , we shouldn't blindly try to shove the N egro and the white together. The differen ces are too great." R :isencrance, asked what his first impression of the College was, sa id , "The genera l lay-out of the ca mpus is physically pleasa nt." Representatives of Slocum Hall added an extra attraction to the interviews. Last year, Slocum Hall was a girls' dorm. Apparently, s ome " relics" have been left from thi s era. Frank Wychoff, a his tory major rrom South P lainfield , N .J., said that pajama tops and bl ack -laced pa nties we re hanging from the m a ntie before a red-faced coed claimed the tops. The panties remained until some frisky chap threw them to Russ Shallross. And they a re now hidden deep in the pocket of Sha llross' jacket.

Seniors families fa' are all' inculty and local alumni vited' to attend. Students' Opinions on the Honor Code Announced The induction of an Honor Code system at the College was the subject of a recent student body vote. This issue has stined up much controversy on campus during the past several months. Of the 554 students who voted, 293 favored the negative aspect. Of these, thirty-six checked "no opinion." Of the 248 who voted for the Honor Code, 159 stated that they would accept general and specific· conditions of the code. Seventynine favored specific conditions with no generalities; ten favored a general rather than a specific system. Student Government representatives have stated that the probability of an Honor Code has not been defeated and that it may be tested for a period of time next year.

The reader will now. think, "Thank goodness this won't be one of those editorials." But, dear reader, it will be. Before I become trite, though, I would like to state the newspaper's policy regarding editorials. This year's editors have always attempted to constructively criticize or to praise an existing situation. Never have we implied or expressed criticism of an individual. We feel that one person cannot be blamed for a generally bad situation. Nor can such a situation be remedied by making one person a scapegoat. We strive for a situation's correction, not for an individual's censure. This is our policy. . Now, when the reader least expects it, I shall thank a few people. "Thank you, people." Because many feel that a college should have honored traditions, this year I initiate a "Special -Beacon Tradition." Prepared to withstand great financial loss I have purchased medals and . trophies and would now like to present them: To Mary Frances Barone, an indispensible "right hand woman" and a personal friend (even though she is not a "yes woman"), I present the "Most Valuable Staff Member" Award. To our advisor, Joseph Salsburg, a giant-size replica of a tranquilizer pill bottle with the inscription, "Dear friend, in case next year's staff proves less docile than this year's, ..." To the entire public relations sta# - Pop Clewell, Barbara fritz, and Mimi Wilson - three weeks' vacation with pay on an island without television, radio, or Beacons. To my parents, preservers of family love (and sanity) I present the "Nobel Peace Prize." They also merit trophies for the kindness, consolation, understanding, and money they have given me. The editors caution me, however, against nepotism. I do not need · caution, though, acj'ainst boredom (that is, lengthy editorials). ·Reluctantly I relinquish my half-used typewriter ribbons to next year's staff. I know they will do an excellent job. That is an ord~rl G.M.Z. Ta Ta VIP's (GMZ, JLJ, MFB, RJS) to R.LP. ~We, the editors, are tired. After an exhilarating, exhausting year of "pseudo-jack-on-the-spot" news reporting we look forward to entering the "cold, cruel world" at last. In leaving this "model" world of flourishing minds, we regret that many things we wanted to see this year just didn't happen. As retiring reformers, we feel that a few last remarks can be made concerning the things we would like to see changed. After the merging of "great minds", your illustrious editors cCI?1e up with a few brilliant suggestions, comments, and observations: A snail running a race with the elevator in Parrish More short-winded speakers . . . everywhere Quiet study halls in the new library Students remembering that "Keep America Beautiful" applies to the cafeteria as well More six-page newspapers, meaning a larger budget for the Beacon Entire football and basketball team named "All American" A little less school spirit, so it can be completely done away with Fine Arts Building finally completed More constructive criticism rather than the usual "This paper never has anything in it." _S tudents electing Student Government president Student leaders doing one thing well rather than having their fingers in too many things and doing none of them well. People reading things into Beacon articles when they just aren't there. Finally, a request from the female editors - more male reporters on the staff. Travelling incognito - with Wilkes beanies (din.ks) and sunglasses - we'll exit through the back door, feeling - 'nuf said. . GMZ, MFB, JIJ, RJS Letter to the Editor ... ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Dear Editor: Saturday, October 5, 1963, is the date set for tne first student planned Parents' Day at Wilkes. This event is completely in the hands of the students and it is for this reason that the student body should give the event their complete support. We are counting on seeing you and your parents at Parents' Day. Stephen Van Dyck Parents' Day Planning Committee Dear Editor: lt is encouraging to note the implications of the outcome of the honor code survey poll. Two hundred forty-three students feel that further attempts at establishing an honor code on a trial basis should be made. The matter has been publicized and discussed fully. One pertinent observation of the outcome is the interest taken by the students. Regardless of their feelings _for or against an honor code, five hundred fifty-four students have expressed their particular feelings as the result of the discussion. They are to be commended. Sincerely, Gail Roberts The Apathetic Onlooker . . . writes a 'Student Sketch' Jack Hardie Olsen Schroeder We feel that by this time everyone is surely familiar with the name Olsen Schroeder; as he spends most of' his time in the library, however, few have ever met the 'real' Olsen and we have therefore selected Mr. Schroeder as subject for our 'Student Sketch' this week. Olsen doesn't like the idea but did agree to pose for our artist and an.s wer a few questions. 'l'his in itself presented a problein ·as we found it unnecessary · to put to Olsen the usual questions th~t a college student may be asked, as "What do you especially like about the student body in general?'-', "How do you feel about the proposed Honor System ? Ii, ·or "What do you want to be when you grpw up'?" Our sketch will then have to content itself with the less important aspects of this student's charming personality. Olsen B. Schroeder, a junior English major, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Throtley Mong Schroeder and a foreign exchange student from Netcong, New Jersey. We asked him of his educational career; "Wilkes," said Olsen, removing his cigarette to give us one of his winning dour frowns, "is not the only school I have ever attended." We were taken aback for a moment, not being aware of the existence of any other schools, but he continued, "I first pursued my studies at the Jack and Jill Day Nursery in Fort Lauderdale, Florida." When we inquired as to how Jack and Jill compared with Wilkes, Olsen answered, saying that there had been no student parking problem, and "The studies were more rewarding. Now take blocks, there was a course; 'Each block represents an idea,' Miss Sturdley had said, and we actually built things out of the blocks rather than just scatter them about the way college students do." We further learned (continued on pa~e () I I NEWS and VIEWS oy Doug Bennington Lord of the Flies, written in 1954 by British novelist William Golding, tells the story of a group of English boys who, while .being uown from England during an atomic war, crash on an uninna.bited island somewhere in the Pacific. Their survival without adult aid in their new "state of nature" requires some sort of organization and cooperation. Ralph, the chosen leader, attempts to establish order which will hold the boys together until they are rescued. )ack, jealous of Ralph's leadership, and inierested in monetary pleasures, organizes a band of "hunters" which seperates from tne original group and takes most of its members. The actions of these hunters become increasingly primitive and savage until, at the end, Ralph is the object of a "hunt." Bis life is spared by the timely arrival of a British war ship which rescues the boys. This is a brief outline of an exciting and horrifying novel which expresses Golding's pessimistic view of human behavior. he has piaced his characters in a situation where he has shown symbolically his interpretation of human society. Golding has ctescribed Lord of the :flies as ., ... an attempt to trace the defects 01 society back to the defects of human nature. The moral is that the shape of a society must depend on the ethical nature of the individual and not in any political system however logical or respectable. The whole book is symbolic in nature except the rescue in the end where adult life appears, dignified and capa.bie, but in reality enmeshed in the same evil as the symboiic lite of the children on the island.... " Readers of Lord of the Flies will undoubtedly draw various conclusions concerning its meaning; some may see it as merely an adventure story, while others may see it as a description of "original sin" at work, a story of the inherent depravity of human beings that shows itself when certain conditions are present. Since the novel expresses the author's views through carefully selected words and symbols, it might be wise to resist the temptation to either accept its theme as literally true, or to reject the book as too morbid or far-fetched. The debate whether or not "human nature" is "good" or "evil" has been raging for centuries among philosophers, theologians, and laymen. Evidence for and against both beliefs has varied with the centuries; assuming that either concept exists in fact, the evidence of the twentieth century would seem to support those who believe that the nature of men, with few exceptions, is evil, destructive, murderous, if not controlled by an external force. The horror of Lord of the Flies is increased when one realizes that Golding has diabolically placed young boys in a situation where there are none of the formal restraints of the adult world. Without the restraints of civilization, in a "state of nature", the boys behave as though they were adults at war; the corruptions and evils of the adult world apparently found an outlet in these children, when the opportunity arose, much as an undetected disease will destroy healthy, normal men. Lord of the Flies is open to various interpretations, depending on one's personal philosophy, experience, and range of knowledge. To this reviewer, it represents a subtle, if horrifying reminder that there are destructive forms of human behavior wnich can emerge once the fragile bonds of human society cease to control its members.

Hidden amid all the fuss and furor over the prospect of final examinations and graduation, an event is scheduled to take place at the end of this month that will, in all probability, go u n noticed throughout the Free World. France is expected to stop living under a legal state of emergency at the end of this month according to official sources. Most of the world, and indeed a majority of Frenchmen, have forgotten that such a state has existed in France for the past two years. It is perhaps one of the last vestiges of the Algerian conflict and of President DeGaulle's supreme effort to counter opposition to his program for the eventual settlement of the Algerian problem. Now the war which drained France for seven long years seems very distant, and the intense political furor has subsided into virtual token opposition. How did this state of emergency arise and what did it entail? Formerly, this state of emergency had only applied in Algeria, when in 1955, as a result of the Moslem rebellion, Parliament authorized the French Government to impose a breed of martial law, power remaining in civilian hands. This extreme measure provided for the • • • I virtual suspension of all public liberties, and of due process of law in cases of persons or organizations suspected of subversive activities. A military revolt in Algeria in April, 1961, however, led President DeGaulle to further extend the emergency to cover continental France. Under the stringent provisions of the emergency law, scores of rightwing critics of DeGaulle's policies were sent to "internment" camps simply on administrative decision; many others were held incommunicado by the police without charges for periods up to two weeks. In addition, the decree also authorized the seizure of all publications considered to be subversive in any way. This, in turn, prompted the immediate seizure of several rightwing newspapers, reviews, and books. Many observers wonder whether measures such as these are compatible with the spirit of democratic government, and raise serious doubts concerning the future of France as a democratic state and above all the future of French liberty. While a sigh of relief has been expressed, it should be noted that even if the state of emergency decree is lifted this month, a more recent law has provided for the setting up of a permanent State Security Court, which will allow the police to hold political suspects ( continued on page 6) �Friday, May 24, 1963 wn.n:s 3 COIJ.EGE BEACON The College Loses Mademoiselle Dworski Grand 'Partage de Midi' For Mademoiselle At Saint Mary's College Music Major Accepts Offer lo Play With Leopold Stokowski al Scranton Senior pianist Thomas Hrynkiw has accepted an invitation to play the "Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto" with Leopold Stokowski in Scranton next September.

Outcome of the three-round tournament was a split of three wins and three losses for the College. The debaters attended tournaments at Harpur, Lehigh, Temple, Marywood, City College, King's, and Bucknell University. A tally for the academic year s h o w s twenty-three wins and six losses for the affirmative, and twenty wins, nine losses for the negative. Some of the teams defeated were Colgate, Harpur, St. Bonaventure, LaSalle, City College, St. John's, Penn State, Temple, New York University, Marywood, and King's. The coaches, Miss Lord and Mr. Budd, f eel the teams did "admirable" work. At the second tournament at Harpur College, Doug Kistler and Dave Levy received awards for individual speaker performances. Kistler ranked fourth in a total roster of two hundred debaters. At City College, New York, Levy was voted second best affirmative in the tournament and was three points away from the top award.

S. by Mary Alice Gabla A fresh point of view toward the United States is oft en difficult to find within the country. Wilkes campus, however, offers nine opinions that aren 't likely to be subjective. These exist in the per sons of the College's for eign students : Ayo E. Ayangade, N igeria, West Africa; Kuniko Ishihara , Kobe, Japan; Eliud W.

When asked about the United States and the impression it has made upon them, each saw the country with a unique view. Only a few aspects of the United States were mentioned by all nine. An example of the variety of points mentioned by the students is Ayo Ayangade's surprise that the United States manifests a hope Nick Alesandro presents the I.D.C.

At this point, Olsen glumly lit two more cigarettes and became silent again; we did learn, however, that when he graduates from Wilkes, Olsen plans to obtain his Bachelor of Science degree at Bloomsburg State, and perhaps get a good job in a factory, writing poetry for the Beacon in his spare time. As far as the world situation is concerned, Olsen Schroeder feels that elementary schools should begin offering Chinese lessons in the early grades and he admits looking forward to the big January White Sale being planned in Birmingham next year.

But now that she's spent a few years here she stands in awe of the United Nations' efforts for peace through understanding. Carole Mayer says she was amazed with the availability of higher education in th e United States. Ever yone seems to have "equal oppor tunity" in this regard -"something which I ha ve not fa ced anywhere else during my years of travel." "Kuni" says that the extra-curricular activities tied to our educational system appeal to her. Until her visit to the United States, going to school meant solely class att endance and studying. American Kindness America's kindness was the common denominator in each interview. In one form or another, this quality impressed the nine foreign students. Rudolf Schonfeld, who once resented the wealth here, now sees our r esources as the very tool for putting under-developed countries on their feet. Our charity to others has made Rudie pro-United States. The respect for human rights displayed within the United States had a profound effect on Ayo Ayangade. He noted that the individual r eally counts and that our continual concern for one another expressed in little comments as "I like your dress," and "You're a nice guy," are important ways to encourage one's efforts. P erhaps Jang Hae Kim discovered the ultimate effect of the United States' concern for other countries and for one another when he called the U .S. an "affluent country". Despite the extremely heterogeneous population "Kim" sees us as well united for national interests. To him the U.S. citizen is extremely hard-working, thus a ccounting for our tremendous productivity. Even though he admires much about our culture, Kim - like the others - hesitated to recommend the ways of the United States as the best. Instead he asked whether or not the "American tree" would survive if planted in foreign soil. A variety of op1mons on different aspects of living in the United States are offered by these foreign students.

The three-game winning streak of Coach Schmidt's baseball team ground to a halt Wednesday afternoon as the Colonels were stopped by Muhlenberg College in a 7-6 contest. A five-run rally by the Wilkesmen fell one tally short and the Mules gained the final edge. The Mules also garnered six in the seventh. Trailing, 7-1, going into the seventh, the Wilkesmen exploded for five markers on a bases loaded single by Russ Frederick, an infield single by Len Yankosky, a bases loaded walk, and a sacrifice fl y. The team record fell to 3-8 with the loss. Richie Klick, Bob Fleming, and Nick Gentile pitched for the Colonels. Klick was the loser. The hardballers will wind up their season with contests against Scranton and East Stroudsburg State, today and tomorrow. East Stroudsburg has already won their division championship and were invited to the NAIA Tournament. Scranton is one of the stronger teams in the MAC, and proved it by handing Stroudsburg an 11-5 pasting a few weeks ago. by JIM JACKIEWICZ, Sports Editor THE LAST HURRAH Now that the present semester is drawing to a close, along with the year's intercollegiate athletic campaigns, we think it fitting and proper to review, for avid readers, the fortunes of our beloved athletes during the past year. Although a few of the College's teams enjoyed moderately successful seasons, it may be said that for the most part Wilkes College athletes took an inferior position in Middle Atlantic Conference standings. Football Einhorn, Self-Taughl Tennis Player Gains'Alhlele of lhe Week' Honors Gary Einhorn, junior business administration major and member of the Colonel net squad, has been named Beacon "Athlete of the Week" this issue. Gary, who hails from Belle Harbor, New York, attended Far Rockaway High School where he began his tennis career at the age of fourteen. He explained that tennis players may be divided into two classes, those who have had instruction and know all the shots and fines points of the game, and those who are self-made, playing much by instinct with an unorthodox style. Gary is of the vian, Gary lost to Bill Carter. latter school. His first contact with tennis was at a park near his home where he watched the game and decided to try it. His first year on the high school team was rather uneventful but after a slow Under the able tutelage of first-year head coach, Rollie Schmidt, line coach Frank ~pudis, and backfield mentor Jonah <..ioobic, the football team enjoyed its most successful season since 1954 as they posted a 3-4 record. Although they dropped four contests, the gridders were outscored on the season by only ll points, 10'/-90. Paced by such hard runners as Ed Comstock, john Gardner, Frank Wallace, and Ted Travis-Bey, the Colonels presented one of the most devastating ground games in the MAC. Prospects are bright for next season as there are only six seniors leaving the squad. Soccer Jim Fenis' soccermen posted a 4-6-1 record on the season. The hooters' offense was inadequate as it accounts for only 10 goals in 11 games, while the opposition collected 23 tallies. Uoalie John Adams recorded three shutouts on the season while the Colonels were blanked on four occasions.

However, Wilkes came back with a great deal of power and swept the three doubles matches. Bill Douglas, the only winner in the singles, extended his unbeaten recor d to 10 straight wins. Wilkes closes their season this Saturday when they play host to Scranton. Singles: G. Einhorn, W , lost to D. Schoenly, 3-6, 6-0, 7-5. B. Klein, W, lost to E. Simon, 7-5, 6-2. D. Austin, W, lost to M. Brassler, 6-3, 4-6, 7-5. G. Frank, W, lost t o B. Edington, 3-6, 8-6, 6-2. J. Ca r r, W, lost to S. Smythe, 6-2, ti-4. B. Douglas, W, won over J. Henderson, 6-4, 6-3.

Basketball Little need be said of the basketball team. A record of two wins and twenty losses for an .091 percentage is indicative of the caliber of play shown by the Davismen. Seniors Harvey Rosen and Bob Fleming led the scoring with 387 and 304 points respectively. In spite of the fact that Jim Fenis has replaced Ed Vavis as head coach, the outlook for next year is still dismal. Wrestling Coach Reese's grapplers copped a 5-3 record on the season and finished in sixth place in the MAC Tournament. For the past two season's the l:leesemen have been trying to regain the MAC crown which they wore for five years previously. The era of Wilkes domination of the MAC is over. Wilkes failed to gain a single individual title in the Tournament. John Gardner placed hignest with a third in the 16/-pound division. Swimming Lack of personnel and adequate pool facilities hampered Coach Ken Young's swimming team as they limped along to a 1-5 record. Jack Barnes put torth some outstanding individual efforts, but on the whole the team was below MAC standards. Spring Sports Although incomplete as of this writing, the Spring schedule of intercollegiate athletics has brought with it a number of surprises. Generally the baseball, tennis, and golf teams have enJoyed moderate successes thus far. Each of the teams was hampered by the late emergence of Spring weather and was somewhat slow rounding into adequate condition. This is especially true of the baseball team. PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS Baseball After dropping their first seven games, sometimes by lopsided scores, <.,;oach Schmidt's hardballers have won their last three (not including Wednesday's game). Beset with an amazing total of enors in the first seven contests, the Schmidtrnen did an about-face and played enorless ball in their three victories. The mound staff led by Joe Kruczek, Bob Fleming, and Richie Klick turned in three brilliant efforts and the hitting has picked up. Defense changes instituted by Schmidt appear to be the main reason for the new-found success. Tennis One of the brightest spots of the athletic program has been the tennis team. As of this writing, Coach MacFarland's netmen have a 6-2 record, plus an additional victory over King's in an exhibition game. The team is a cohesive unit and will lose only Captain Bill Klein via graduation. Bill Douglas is undefeated in eight singles matches and has an excellent record in doubles competition. Newcomer Don Austin and veterans Bill Klein and Gary Einhorn also have impressive records. Golf Coach Welton Fanar's golfers are engaged in a so-so season and are hampered by the loss of some key personnel from last year's squad. Captain John Adams and John Occhiato, among others, have been playing fine golf. Epilogue Thus, we have a picture of 1962-63 Wilkes College athletics. Next year will bring ne'?' teams, new competition, and a new Sports Editor. This last innovation will be looked upon with untold delight by a few individuals on campus. Apparently I have incurred the disfavor of these bastions of "school spirit" during the course of my writings in this colum. This however, is of little concern to me. The comments and criticisms expressed in this column during the year were always intended to be constructive, rather than derogatory, as many believe. It is unfortunate that such an interpretation was made. I cannot experience remorse over those few who were offended.

In his last outing, against Mora- Against Scranton University the previous match, however, . he had no trouble downing Ed Reilly, 6-0, 6-0. Gary's record on the year now stands at four wins - five losses in singles, and seven wins two losses in doubles. In spite of his ups and downs in the singles matches, Gary has played consistently good tennis all season. Gary remarked on the depth and balance of the team as a whole, along with the improvement of returning lettermen and valuable new additions to the team as being the reasons for the successful season the netmen a r e experiencing. Presently, Gary is secretary of both Warner Hall and the Jaycees and at the annual Sports Award Banquet was honored with a tennis award. Gary has planned what appears t o be an interesting summer. He will spend six weeks at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland,•taking a course in British history, literature and philosophy of the period between 1688 and 1832. As far as hobbies go, Gary likes the usual things with sports ranking high, especially softball and basketball.

The books will then be mailed to graduating seniors and dorm students, and arrangements will be made for the rest of the ;;tudent body. Although this will mean increased work for the staff, the students will have a more complete picture of the year's activities. Next year's staff will include: Keith Ackerman, assistant editor; Mike Landesman, business manager; Bill Williams, photographer; Henry Wilson, picture editor. ATTENTION SENIORS!

Located on the second and third floors will be additional stacks with shelves of metal, which could be added to as required, in order to meet the eventual goal of 250,000 books and bound periodicals, whi-:h would represent an increase of 190,000 volumes over the current 60,000 pieces.

For work which is usually thankless and demanding many students received rewards. The reward can only be a token appreciation because none could be fully repaid for all the time an energy which he has spent during the year. The College appreciates the work done by these fine individuals. They have labored well and deserve recognition. Pigment Color - Prejudiced Confederacy Who cares about democracy, freedom, religion, equality? certainly not the Southerners. They evidently don't realize that these privileges and rights are granted by law to each American. They, too, fail to understand that "American" isn't always synonymous with "white". Communist nations are having a field day publicizing the racial violence occurring in the South today. Southerners are giving Godless nations a wonderful example of brotherly "love" (fratricide!) as they murder, plunder, assault, bum. Perhaps the Southerners feel terribly American in that they're ridding the United States of "those awful differences". They might consider that the Negroes are demanding the humane treatment which all Americans demand. In reality, then, the Negroes are "like" all other Americans. It is the southern whites who are different.

Schroeder and Matthew (5 :21-24) Schroeder (his brother) In our last column, Dearest Friends and Readers, our meek and timid Olsen registered the small complaint that the 'Apathetic Onlooker' seems hardly to be taken seriously on the campus with regard to its essential purpose, which is to pick out the small things about the campus which might perhaps be in small need of correction or remark, and comment upon them with some small attempt at humor. Last week's Beacon could not have been a more discouraging reply to our announcement. It seems that we had published a parody upon a poem in an earlier Beacon by a certain Harris Tobias, to perhaps, in its small way, indicate to this author that the poem might contain certain technical, indeed, poetic flaws which he might somehow see fit to alter or at least defend in a literary manner. But 0 Alas! Shocked we were when our humble counsel was thrust back upon us with a rude and public intimidation that both our purpose and our mental capabilities were of somewhat diminutive dimensions. Had we perhaps realized that Mr. Tobias was beyond reproach and that he even plans to ha ve a volume of his sterling verse published within the next year, never would we ha ve been so small as to even hint that Mr. Tobia s' poetic capabilities might possibly merit some small semblance of suggestion. We feel it proper then (bear witness, 0 Fond Readers) to publicly apologize to Mr. Tobias. We even go so far as to implore all students to read his fine, nay, great work in the Wilkes College Manuscript this week, and in the event that he might not read this Beacon issue, we ask all our friends and, indeed, all students, that if they have the pleasant opportunity of meeting l\{r. Tobias on the campus to both congratulate him upon the superior quality of his poetic craftsmanship and to extend, on behalf of Olsen Schroede1;, the deepest and sincerest of apologies, apologizing in the spirit of the 'great' Socrates, and not merely the 'small minds' of such lowly parodists as Lord George Byron, Henry Fielding, Miguel de Cervantes, Jonathan Swift, William Shakespeare, and.

All opinions expressed by columnists and special writers including letters to the editor are not necessarily those of this publication but those of the individuals. ' By Vince McHale Are you in favor of abolishing the federal income tax? Are you of the opinion that our national government has exceeded its constitutional power by engaging in spending schemes that have no legal constitutional basis? Do you think the power of the Supreme Court should be curtailed? If your answer to any of the above questions is yes, chances are you might find yourself among the many supporters of a whole flock of proposed amendments to our National Constitution, now in the process of being considered by state legislatures. It . is doubtful that the average college student is even aware of the fact that silent forces are hfoot to amend our Constitution in order to realize these goals. Consider the Liberty Amendment, for example, authored by Willis E. Stone, Chairman of the National Committee for Economic Freedom, which seeks to abolish the federal income tax simply by limiting government only to those activities delegated to it by the Constitution. According to Mr. Stone, his proposed Liberty Amendment will cut the cost of government enought to permit the repeal of the federal income tax. How does it work? Basically, the Amendment is composed of four main sections, in reality, four steps toward achieving the ultimate goal. The first section states that "the government of the United States shall not engage in any business, professional, commercial, financial or industrial enterprise, except as specified in the Constitution." It is estimated by Mr. Stone, that this simple prohibition upon unconstitutional activities will in effect cut the cost of government in half. Among the activities that the Amendment would seek to abolish are such items as government corporate activities and foreign aid, only two of the estimated 700 major spending programs, costing over $40 llµIion dollars annually, yet having no constitutional basis. The proposed Liberty Amendment would merely enforce the Constitution to the l~tter. Section Two of the Amendment guarantees that no foreign or domestic agreement will allow our government to engage in any unconstitutional enterprise. Section Three requires the government to sell, within three years, all. properties and facilities that violate the Constitution. Again, it is estimated that this will in turn reduce the national debt by minimum of $65 billion dollars while cutting the federal spending in half. Section Four, the final stroke, states that " ... Congress shall not levy taxes on personal income, estates, and or gifts," thus the income tax is repealed after the unauthorized spending has been eliminated. If the Liberty Amendment had been applied to the 1962 federal budget, an estimated reduction of $44 billion would have been realized, without reducing the constitutionally-authorized functions of the government. The loss of receipts through. repeal of the income, estate, and gift tax would have amounted to $41 billion, thus leaving an unbelievable $3 billion surplus to pay on the national debt. You may say it sounds plausible but crazy; yet six state legislatures have already approved and passed the Liberty Amendment, and an estimated 30 more will consider it during 1963.

Special thanks go to Mr. George Ralston, Dean of Men, Dr. Bruch of the physics department, and Mr. David Fendrick of the English department and "Music Man" fame, and to those brave, brave students who sat in front of the firing line. Once again, gentlemen, thanks. George Morris, Chairman Since the end of World War II, the traditional methods of carrying out policy through violent means have been slowly changing. Except for the Korean Conflict of 1950, the major powers of East and West have apparently substituted insurrectionary, unconventional guerilla conflict for total nuclear war in order to reach their political goals. Modem history has witnessed total war as the "normal" process for ending conflicts between nations; however, both the United States and Soviet Russia have thus far managed to avoid nuclear war, evidently assuming that the resulting losses of such an event would far outweigh any tangible gains, let alone "victory." Poet's Corner 0, JUDY 0, Judy, could the world be more perfected Than now it is ? Could lovely things detected Grow in splendor more serene If by your eyes' own beauty were injected? I think not if the lights of Heaven all convene Into a single ray, could radiance more perfect then be seen. Clark Line After 1947, the conflict between the great powers has settled into what may be termed a "stable crisis", a status quo based on a balance of nuclear terror. The dominant pattern of struggle has not been the traditional "interstate" war in the sense of sustained largescale violence between two or more governments roughly comparable in size and power, but instead the pattern has been one of local, insurrectionary struggles in which a non-governmental group-a clique, party or revolutionary movementseeks to overthrow and replace the existing government. Struggles of this nature have occurred in Malaya, Greece, the Philippines, Kenya, Cyprus, Algeria, Cuba, Laos, and Inda-China. Moscow, Washington and Peking have had an / open or secret role in one or more I of these trouble spots; This background must be known in order to understand the recent changes in the United States defense structure and foreign policy. Since 1961, the Kennedy Administration has quietly increased the military capacity of this country in the area of unconventional, guerrilla warfare, so successfully used by the Communists. The elite Special Forces group of the United States Army has been given the task of training our own soldiers and friendly governments in .the fine art of guerrilla warfare, in order that allied governments, through their own efforts and United States aid, may protect their countries from Communist guerrilla penetration. There are implications for our national psychological attitude toward the struggle with Commu(Continued on page 4) �Friday, May 17, 1963 WILKES COIJ.EGE BEACON 3 Bob Herman Named Athlete of Year Grid Star Gains Unanimous Vote Of Sports Staff in Annual Poll Each year the BEACON chooses that athlete who has distinguished both himself and the College by his outstanding performance in the varsity athletic program.

Special Tux Price to Students BOB HERMAN In football, Bob has always been a tough competitor, and this year he developed into the defensive workhorse of the team. The enthusiasm with which he covered his center spot in the line, and his alertness, which accounted for his being in on a great deal of key plays earned him the nod as "Athlete of the Week" earlier this year. At the annual Sports Award Dinner, Bob was saluted as the "Outstanding Lineman of the Year" and gained the coaches' "Athlete of the Year" award, a highly coveted honor. In addition, Bob was named to the all-MAC football squad and gained several honorable mentions throughout the grid campaign. He was heralded by the line coach, Frank Spudis, as the lineman with the greatest amount of hustle, drive and desire.

This season, Bob was captain of the wrestling team and !!hared MVP honors with John Gardner. Yet, Bob has remained modest in the light of his outstanding performances, remaining a great deal to himself and confining his openness to a relatively small circle of friends. With the sports program drawing to a close, the Beacon sports staff feels Bob has proved deserving of this honor and joins with the coaching staff in saluting Bob Herman as "Athlete of the Year."

In general terms, Americans have in most cases sought quick solutions 1 to foreign military-political problems; we fight, win, and return to Ma in Street as soon as possible. Guerrilla war, however, may take many frustrating years to 1·each a conclusion, as the French learned in Algeria and lndo-China. United States guerrilla-style support in South Vietnam is making slow progress, but officials predict long, tough campaign against the Viet-Cong Communists in which American losses will probably incr ease. Are most Americans prepared to face the psychological demands of unconventional warfare, or will those voices among us who demand quick, total victory carry the day? Can Americans accept the slow " no-holds-barred" techniques of guerrilla operations in place of mass military conflict? It is of course too early to provide answers to these questions; what has been presented here is an outline of future concern for interested citizens. a Chuck Robbins Ready to Serve You With a Complete Line of Sweaters, Jackets, Emblems, Sporting Goods Carnival Highlights Spring Weekend 28 North Main Street - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rosfm?Jmf_ ,~··:", .

She was selected from among eleven girls by a student vote. "I feel that winning Cinderella was a terrific vote of confidence and a wonderful culmination to my four years of college," said Miss Palka. The crowning climaxed the evening. The Ball, sponsored by Student Government, marked the beginning of ·Spring Weekend, which also featured a carnival. S,t u dent Government heralded Spring Weekend by holding a carnival in the gym last Saturday. The Carnival, which was supposed to be held in the Parrish parking lot, was moved because of the weather. Clubs and dorms sponsored many of the booths. The Jaycees sponsored a sponge throwing contest, the victims being Dean George Ralston, David Fendrick, and Dr. A. Bruch. Sturdevant Hall featured a treasure chest which could only be opened by one key. Barre Hall sponsored two wheels and a game of chance which involved choosing numbers out of a hat. The freshmen bought an old car and invited students to smash it with mallets. They al.so held a wheel of fortune game and an intricate contest in which students had to choose a certain colored cup, then try to throw a ball into it. Women's Activities Association sponsored a booth also. Students had to throw a certain number of rubber balls into slots. If their score added up to fifteen, they were given a prize. Another feature of the evening was the dance held from 8 :30 to 11 :30. Music was furnished by the Arcadians. The refreshment stand was sponsored by I.D.C. Jim Jenkins was chairman of the affair; Leslie Tobias was decorations chairman, and Bernard Fetchko was in charge of entertainment.
