In contrast, students seem remarkably well lately - exhausted, but well. Perhaps the answer to better health may be found by following the health routine of an average student: eat sparinglyonly pizza and sweets; sleep well - about three hours every morning; and smile - into every mirror. G.M.Z. No Operation_Without Cooperation In observing the results of Student Government elections, one can see that potential lies among these chosen officers. Leadership is there, but the question could be, Is leadership enough? It seems that co-operation with the leaders is necessary in order to make Student Government an effective organization. Co-operation. This does not apply only to the representatives, but it includes the student body. If Student Government is ever to widen its scope, it must cease to be an organization for just its duly elected members. Having been placed in office by their classmates. they are responsible to their classes as well as to the College and the community. There is no room for cliques or factions. Unity is a quality" essential for good government. decision to call a constitutional convention is a political act. The political wisdom of seeking or opposing a constitutional convention depends upon how individuals and groups are affected by the existing constitution and how likely they are to control the convention. Again, whenever the question of constitutional change arises, many argue that the convention is too costly and cumbersome and suggest the alternate of revision by amendment. The opponents of the constitutional convention method cite the complicated procedures for setting it up and the great expense involved in operating it. And, as always, many legislators, interest groups, and "old line" conservatives f ear that a constitutional convention would get into "dangerous" hands, and that radicalism might run rampant in the convention. Are there any advantages to the convention method endorsed by the majority of reformers in Pennsylvania? If unity does not exist in Student Government and the mem- ++++++++++++++++++++++++ bers are not fulfilling their obligations, the fault rests with the student body for permitting these conditions to exist. They should demand faithful service, or they should call for their ++++++++++++++++++++++++ dismissal. Dear Editor: Letters to the Editor ... Pennsylvania, the legislature and the proposed constitutional convention have different purposes and face different problems. The state legislature, by and large, confronts a great deal of both routine and important matters of policy and administration in its day-to-day life . Thus any consideration of constitutional change in the form of amendment or otherwise must be inserted among many other legislative responsibilities. The constitutional convention, on the other hand, is called for a single purpose, and concentrates only on those issues involving a revision of the fundamental law of the state. Managed in a true spirit of constructive reform, a convention may attract a significant number of delegates and advisors with superior talent, character, and prestige. All this will be reflected in the final document. What about the charge of radicalism? It is significant to say that almost two hundred years of poli- of constitutional revision, the real danger is the apparent meekness and lack of bold convictions in suggesting and making changes. Finally, constitutional conventions have the distinct advantage of widespread public attention of their activities. Many times in the past, amendment proposals to our 1874 constitution were lost in the maze of the legislative activities of the General Assembly. Should the convention idea be accepted this November, public interest throughout the state will focus upon constitutional issues and upon them alone. It is true conventions do involve considerable expense and the difficulties in setting one up are many, aside from the possibility of an unsympathetic electorate. But, in view of the benefits to be derived from r evising the fundamental law of our state to meet more adequately the needs of the people of Pennsylvania, the price to pay is indeed small.

"Intolerance", despite Cinemascope and other current devices, still is the most advanced example of film technique. Almost every device we see in movies today appeared in "Intolerance"; it remains the most spectacular motion picture produced in America (unless the forthcoming "Cleopatra" tops it). "Intolerance" has had enormous influence on the motion picture everywhere, especially in Russia, where D. W. Griffith was a mentor to 8oviet film artists, including Eisenstein. Directors around the world acknowledge their debt to the great D. W., yet "Intolerance" was not a public or financial success, perhaps because it was many years ahead of its time. D. W. went broke filming the lengthy picture and, though he made more movies, he never again reached the artistic level of "Intolerance". He spent the last years of his life in drunken obscurity and died in 1948.

Now a traditional Spring program, intramural softball has become an integral part of spring on campus. Although there are not many teams participating this year as in previous years, the numbers of forfeited games has been nominal. As in the past, the league is divided into two divisions, the Independent League and the Dormitory League which is composed of teams from siic residence halls. Competition in the Dorm League has been extremely keen. This past Monday the Butler Hall squad turned back the boys from Gore in an exciting 5-4 contest to clinch the League title. The steady pitching of Butler's Joe Easley enabled his team to edge the tough Goremen. Prior to the contest, both Gore and Butler came forth with innovations that had not been seen before Gore's effigy of a Butler softballer on campus. This of course, was the publicizing of the contest by means of flyers and sundry other publicity devices. Perhaps the most striking of these attempts was the Gore rendition of a Butlerman which was suspended from a tree next to the Commons. The Gore and Butler endeavors were typical of the spirit with which the softball games have been played this year. In past years many teams put forth only halfhearted efforts, not even showing up for many of their games. This is not the case this season. It was stated that play in these contests wa:;; spirited. This needs qualification. While the competition has been sharp the play on the field is still reminiscent of last year's Mets. Pitching is definitely not one of the strengths of the League. Nor is defense. Hitting is the thing that wins the games. This is just as well, since this facet of the game of baseball is perhaps the most satisfying to the participants. After all the program is designed as a recreational measure. As of press time, the Independent League race is still muddled with the Seagrams 7 riding in the top spot with a 3-1 record. The Rejects and the Radicals are tied with 2-2 records while the Heads are plugging along with 1-3. This of course, could be changed a great deal after yesterday's games. The Independent League has one makeup date next week. Butler Hall will meet the winner of the Independent race for the over-all title. ~-: IOSTON, LOS ANGEL■ LONDON THE ( 'JIRISTL\~ SCIE~CE An example of a typical intramural batting swing (with vigor) l\1()~1TOI{ Another typical swing by a typically-attired player AN INTERNATIONAL DAILY N(WSPAPFR Interesting Accurate Complete 1■....etiH•I Newa Cov1ro11 The Christian Science Monitor One Norway St., Boston 15, Moss.

A mass of brand new information' about the nation of male undergraduates is revealed in a new study, "Male College Student Survey," conducted by the research firm, Benn Management Corporation, in cooperation with the Market Research Department of Playboy magazine. Involving a sample size of 12,100 mail questionnaires, the survey results are based on final returns from more than 5,000 male students from 72 U.S. colleges and universities. The survey shows that 11.2% of today's male students are married. 11.8 % of today's undergraduates underwrite all of their college expenses, while 17.2 % do not contribute at all to their college support. 62.4 % live on campus, 22.4% off campus but not with their families, and 15.2% reside off campus with their families. 29.3 % belong to a social fraternity. As to outside jobs, the study shows that 52.8 % work during summer only, while 30.3% work both during the summer and school year. 14.6% do not work at all. As the survey was conducted during December, 1962, a question as to whether the student would leave the campus during the upcoming Christmas vacation showed that 92.7 % would do so. 82.8% said they would travel by car, 6.5% by plane, 5.2 % by bus, 5.5 % by train and .6 % by boat. How dependent are today's college students on the automobile ? The survey shows that 36.7 % possess their own cars while 10.7 % have full-time personal use of one. While December was still early in the cw·rent model year, 2.7% already drive a 1963 automobile, 10.7% a 1962 model, 8.4% a 1961 model and 7.6 % a 1960 model. When asked about alcoholic beverage consumption, 66.8% of all male undergraduates responded affirmatively. Moreover, 60.5% drink beer, 25.3 % wine, 50% liquor. 50.4 % of all male college students surveyed answered that they smoked: 41.8% cigarettes, 11.9% cigars and 14.8% pipes. Among cigarette smokers, filter types were the favorite, with the total sample showing 66.8 % perferring this kind of cigarette. 14.5 % smoke king size, while 22.3 % smoke regular. Cigar smokers prefer panatella shopes with 33.3 %, while 22.5% liked cigarillos, 19.3 % blunts and 15.9% tip ends. Of pipe smokers, 44.9 % said that they smoked five or less pipefuls during the week preceding the survey. 27 % smoked 6 to 10 pipefuls, 8% , 11 to 15; 7.6 % , 16 to 10 and 6.5 % , 21 to 30.

Bob is generally noted as a mainstay of the Colonel basketball team, for which he was named "Athlete of the Week" earlier in the year. Bob attended Valley Forge Junior College before coming to Wilkes. At Valley Forge he captained the basketball and baseball teams while serving as class treasurer. Bob was also a leader of his class at Hopewell High School where he was an officer for two years, and was named to the Section 8, P.I.A.A. first team in basketball. This year Bob was named Most Valuable Player in basketball, The tennis team lost its second an honor of which he is rightly match of the season last Thursday proud. to Lycoming College, 6-3, on the In addition to his basketball latter's home court. The winners prowess Bob has also distinguished in the singles matches were Don himself as a moundman for Wilkes' Austin and Bill Douglas, and in nine as evidenced by his pitching the doubles, Gary Frank and Bill Douglas. · Wilkes travels to Scranton on Saturday for the final away match, boasting a record of three wins and two losses. Last season Wilkes defeated Scranton, 9-0 and 8-1. On May 14 the netmen return to their home court to play Moravian College. The netmen raised their season log to a 4-2 mark on Wednesday afternoon as they halted the Ursinus squad, 7-2. Captain Bill Kl ein won his singles match and with Jeff Carr, won in the doubles competition in three sets. Number six Douglas remained unbeaten in singles play. R e s u 1 ts: Kline, W, defeated Crabb, 6-2, 7-5; Einhorn, W, beat Myers, 6-3, 6-1; Coon, U, defeated Frank, 6-7, 6-2, 6-1; Carr, W, beat Bohl, 6-4, 6-4; Austin, W, beat Crough, 6-2, 6-1; Douglas, W, def eated Warren, 6-4, 6-1. Doubles: Kline-Carr, W, defeated Crabb-Meyers, 4-6, 7-5, 6-2; CoonBohl, U, beat Einhorn-Smithson, 6-3, 1-6, 11-9; Douglas-Yeager, W, topped McKinney-Crough, 6-3, 6-3. Douglas Still Unbeaten; Netmen Lose Second, 6-3 Bob Fleming the Colonels to their first victory of the season, a 2-1 decision over Ursinus. The team this year has been somewhat of a disappointment. Bob explained that it is one of the better teams, but just hasn't been able to pull its e 1 f together. The team's potential is obvious. Ursinus had a 7-2 record and was in second place in the Middle Atlantic Conference. Bob credits his teammates as usual and remarked that some def ensive changes may have been the reason for the team's finding itself. Bob had little difficulty in the game. "Everything seemed to be going for me," said Bob. There wasn't a great deal of action until the sixth inning. Bob had retired 16 men in a row before allowing a single. In the same inning Russ Frederick and Len Yankosky came across with the Colonels' two .tallies. Things settled down again until Bob walked the first man up in the 9th. The walk turned into a run after a bad bounce in centerfield (a rough spot Bob added) turned into a double, placed runners on 2nd and third and a foul ball was long enough to score the baserunner from third base. Asked what seemed to be the difficulty, Bob said that errors were the big factor of course, but the baserunning needed -some improvement. In all, Bob mastered the game to bring his season's record to 1-1, and gain "Athlete of the Week" honors. I Bowling Found Better Than Financial Gain In 1923, eight of the world's most successful financiers met in Chicago, and a champion was crowned at the 23rd Annual ABC Tournament, the world's most important bowling tournament in Milwaukee. In the same year AMF star bowler Evelyn Teal was born. Now, forty years later, she has done research and found out where these men are. The first of the eight was the president of the largest independent steel company, C ha r 1 es Schwab. He died bankrupt, living before his death. on borrowed money for five years Next was the president of the largest gas company, Howard Hopson, who became insane. The greatest wheat speculator, Arthur Cotton, was third. He died abroad insolvent. Richard Whitney, president of the New York Stock Exchange, was sentenced to Sing Sing PenitentiaThe fifth man, Albert Fall, a ry. member of the President's Cabinet, was pardoned from prison so he could die at home. The greatest "bear" on Wall Street, Jesse Livermore, committed suicide, as did Ivar Krenger, head of the world's greatest monopoly and the president of the Bank of International Settlements, Leon Frazier. The winner of the ABC Singles Title in 1923 was Carl A. Baumgartner. In 1963, forty years after winning his ABC championship, is an advertising and public relations executive living in Garden City, New York. Diamondmen Home; Beat Ursinus, Stevens For First Two Victories Tomorrow afternoon the Colonel hardballers will return home for a 2:00 p.m. encounter with the Greyhounds of Moravian College. Earlier this year the Lehigh Valley nine turned back the Wilkesmen and are hoping to repeat that feat tomorrow. The Greyhounds will be facing a "new" Wilkes squad as the Colonels are finally squared away after a shaky start this season. The game will be at the Athletic Field. On Tuesday Coach Schmidt's diamondmen will journey to Selinsgrove for a rematch with the Susquehanna University nine. The Crusaders also took the measure of Wilkes earlier this season and the Colonels are eager to reverse that setback. Pick Up First Win Last S a t u r d a y the Colonels picked up their first victory of the season as they edged the Ursinus Bears, 2-1, in a thriller. At the time, Ursinus was riding in second place in the Middle Atlantic Conference standings with a 7-2 record. Bob Fleming pitched brilliantly for the Colonels and at one point had retired 16 batters in a row. He pitched his way out of a neardisastrous jam in the ninth. With the score 2-0, Bob walked the first batter in the ninth. This was followed by a bad-bounce double, putting Ursinus runners on second and third with none out. A sacrifice fly produced one run, but Fleming got the final two batters on a ground out to third baseman Lou Zampetti and a fly ball to the outfield. The Colonel defense was much better in this contest than at any time previous this year. Coach Schmidt altered his defensive to achieve these desirable results. Turn Back Stevens Wednesday's diamond action saw the Colonels in their second straight win, and first shut out, as they stopped Stevens Tech, 4-0. Richie Klick hurled a two-hitter for the Wilkesmen, while fanning nine and issuing only two bases on balls. The freshman curver also picked three Stevens runners off first. Lou Zampetti chipped in with a pair of singles to lead the Wilkes offense. 5 Intramural Track Meet Expected To Boost the Intramural Program In an effort to pacify the advocates of a track team (which the College has found it impossible to support for lack of participation), Athletic Director John Reese has announced an intramural track meet slated for Thursday May 23 at 4:15 p.m. at Kirby Park. The idea of an intramural track meet is unprecedented at Wilkes, and the hope is that the animal men and the Mercuries of the College will find an outlet for their pent up energies. Clark Line of the Beacon staff is the student co-ordinator and is looking for students to help .with the timing of events and tallies of the running score. If you'd like to help, let him know.

This year the Fair will be held Thursday and Friday, May 16 and 17, a week earlier than usual. Last year it conflicted with the Fine Arts Fiesta, thus the response was not as great as expected. This year the students will have an opportunity to display their work in both the Fair and the Fiesta. As usual, students will give actual demonstrations of their work instead of just showing the finished product. The displays will consist of watercolor, pen and ink, copper enameling, pottery, oil painting, woodcuts, and typography. A special exhibit of work done only by senior art majors will be featured. Because of three previous salesthe first just before Christmas, the second the just Art League building, and theinlast before and just after Easter-the students will have an opportunity to display more work than usual. Plans are being made to hold part of the exhibit outside where soda and, tentatively, espresso will be served to the public. Al w1·1kes The second half of the HamptonWilkes exchange program will be completed this weekend. Designed to promote better understanding of the problems of others, the program is also set up to provide a notable experience which' cannot be obtained by mere academic studies.

What would we do without the Cinderella Ball? The cam- 'Gabriel' R. pus has at least this one activity in which many participate. (Name withheld) Today is campus-wide election day. All classes, except the senior class who will vote only for Cinderella, will select those class members who will hold executive offices next year. Most nominees have circulated fliers and posters to solicit votes. Don't vote for the best poster, though, vote for the best candidate. Some plan the affair; others decorate; most vote for a candidate; many attend the Ball. For a few weeks, then, the campus seems to work toward a common goal - a successful Cinderella Ball. One of the eleven candidates will be the perfect Cinderella: active, intelligent, attractive, personable. Vote for her today. Today's Voting Is Most Important An emotional experience is one of the most difficult experiences to explain. It can best be understood by one who has shared a similar experience. Friendship and understanding are qualities often experienced on an emotional level, and are, therefore, lent not readily to explanation. The Hampton-Wilkes exchange program which enables both colleges to share not only ideas but also friendship is just such an emotional-experience vehicle. Through the program faculty and students meet and exchange ideas. Moreover, they solidify friendship through understanding. A Lover: Harassed to Bias Once I loved you.

A formal approach had been decided upon; our Olsen, however, waxing whimsically poetic, took it upon himself to pen the above poem (tongue and gum in cheek). As an institution, 'The Apathetic Onlooker' apologizes for Olsen's level of talent, but must, of needs, point out that his efforts are of more merit than a good deal of the total campus literary output.

The Beacon stands not alone in this inferiority; an approximate fifty per cent of student work submitted to the Manuscript was rejected, an optimistic twenty per cent of what remained was of an acceptable quality, and cafeteria 'flyers' and bulletin board posters constitute an even lower level of expression. Compounding the felony, the romantic themes (of an almost 'Sucaryl' quality) chosen for dances and social affairs (as 'Castle of Dreams', 'Paradise for Lovebirds', and the like) fall directly into the same category. The author of 'The Dentiad' himself might wonder as to how so many obviously aborted bits of writing have ' found a printed and widely read berth on a college level.

The general student body should be acquainted with the fact that both Manuscript and The Beacon operate on an exchange program with corresponding periodicals in a great many schools, and that, while the views of a contributing author are most definitely his own, the appearance of any written material in any Wilkes College publication will reflect the intellectual level of Wilkes as a school; the quality of our literary image is more than questionable. Certainly the usual Beacon poetry does not reflect its author's abilities ('icicle lips' and other 'loose' imagery will not be found in this author's Manuscript verse), and the fashion editor on The Beacon J I THE FAR-OUT RIGHT, PART III by Doug Bennington Does the radical-right present an immediate, full-blown threat to American democracy, or is it merely a temporary, noisy protest against the social, political, and economic changes that have altered American society during the past thirty years? Does the radical-right have the power now or in the future to dismantle, the "Welfare State," or turn the historical clock back fifty years?' A complete answer to these questions requires many pages; a partial list of the implications of the farright is offered here. Concerning political power, thus far none of the radical-right movements - despite their grandiose plans for saving the nation - have had any practical prospects of winning the Presidency, of taking over either national party (though the Republican party is faced with extensive rightist activities, especially in party finances), or of having their fantastic policies enacted into law. Commentators on the farright assume that the American tradition of moderate, compromising politics and the influence of responsible civic groups will prevent the radical-right from attaining national power. However, this may be too comfortable a reassurance because as one commentator (Alan Westin, Harpers, April, 1962) has said, the radical-right today presents the same type of threat to democratic processes and institutions that the radical-left presented in the "thirties" and "forties". The far-right threatens the freedom of choice and action of any national administration that attempts to formulate and carry out realistic anti-Communist programs in the difficult, grey areas of twentieth century politicss; it threatens to confuse or curtail domestic debate on sensitive, vital issues; it threatens the reputation and integrity of groups and organizations; it seeks to penetrate and control (as the Communists did in the past) . The most serious immediate threat from the far-out right is aimed toward fundamental civil liberties and civic affairs. Bullying tactics, including intimidation of teachers, ministers, school principals, pacifists, community dissenters, harassment of speaker at community forums, are used by the radical-right to crush opposition and insure the presentation of one side on all issues, the "right" side. (For examples of far-right practices in American communities, see Life, April 26, 1963; Progressive, November, 1962; The Nation, June 30, 1962; and Look, April 24, 1962.) The presence of the far-out right in America cannot be viewed with yawns by conservatives, nor with hysteria by those liberals who might see a John Bircher lurking behind every conservative opinion. American democracy will continue to function despite the radical-right attacks if liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, take reasonable steps to neutralize the more dangerous effects of the radicals. If responsible men from all areas of community life - press, education, business, politics, religion - fail or fear to challenge the "rampaging right", stormy days lie ahead for many communities. American democracy has survived worse threats than the hucksters and fanatics of the contemporary far-right, with their illusions, fixation on the past and fear of the future; with a sufficient amount of intellectual homework and refusal to panic by democratic citizens, this democracy will live long after the far-out right fades into the shadows from where it came. Is this what they mean by higher education the fifth floor of Parrish Hall? staff is capable of more acceptable prose as seen in last week's issue; this, however, does not excuse a word of the inarticulate composition published on campus. At present there seems to be much wailing and gnashing of student teeth as to the level of achievement required in the Freshman Composition courses; the freshman instructor very probably thinks of himself as an academic Sisyphus in a pedagogical Hades. Compounding the metaphor, however, rolling 'freshmen', do gather I moss, and the English department cannot be given blame for the situation. Were the problem to be traced to primary sources, we would have no more than a tirade against Motherhood and The Flag; a more practical approach would be merely to say that the responsibility for the low level of student literary expression falls upon the fact that students who have graduated from the Composition courses no longer write as they did when a 'grade' depended upon their performances. This is evidenced by the fact that more failures are (continued on paite -&) ✓- �Friday, May 3, 1963 3 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Tropl,y For A.·,Texan Netmen Grab Win No. 3 Soph Bill Douglas Wins 'Beacon' Nod From Lebanon Vall~y; For Power and Prowess in Tennis Journey to Collegeville With spring's sports well under way, the Beacon resumes its seThe tennis team upped their season record to 3 wins and 1 loss, with a 6-3 victory over King's College and a 9-0 victory over Lebanon Valley College.

The framers of our 187 4 Constitution understandably hoped to prevent abuses in government from continuing or occuring; but in doing so, it appears as if they saddled the State with a fundamental law which so restricts and limits government on all levels in Pennsylvania, that it has been regarded as being out of date and a handicap to all our citizens practically within a single generation after its adoption. Almost 90 years have passed since our Constitution was written and adopted. Its inadequacies have become "notorious" and have severely hampered the progress of our State, notably within the last 60 years. Since 1901, over ninety amendments have been proposed to make the Constitution more applicable and more responsive to the needs of the time. The voters saw fit to accept only 60 of these pro- 'Babbitt' Discussed by Brominski at Forum; Popularity Explained Sinclair Lewis' Babbitt was discussed at the Forum this week by Don Brominski.

Babbi· tt was ostraci"zed from hi"s step in the caste system of society when he becomes a profligate. After several acquaintances which attend this type of character, Babbitt then became a liberal. When his son elopes, Babbitt is at last happy because he hopes his son will aspire to his own dreams. Brominski then stated that the book attained popularity in the decade it was written because of the satiric handling of Babbitt, the businessman; the book's permannent value, he said, is due to the developing of Babbitt, the individual. Brominski feels that the satire of Lewis is obvious and quite effective, but that Lewis is not good at irony because his irony is also obvious, which ruins the effect. Brominski then continued by saying that a novelist p_ortrays life and attempts to cope with the problems of life. He thinks that Lewis achieved this purpose in his portrayal of Babbitt. Because the reader identifies himself with Babbitt, Babbitt is a "real" individual, which is brought about by the skillful handling of Babbitt's mind. Brominski concluded by citing Mark Shorer's book, Sinclair Lewis, An American Life, as "the bible on Sinclair Lewis." Harris Tobias is scheduled to speak next week. Focus Panel Airs Sunday "The role of the Community College" will be discussed on "Focus" this week. George F. Ralston, Dean of Men, will moderate the panel consisting of Joyce Cavallini, Alan Krieger, William Carver, and Brent O'Connell. Air time is Sundays at 11 p.m. on radio station WARM.

The end result - a basic law more muddled and less responsive than ever. Curiously, the present controversy in the State is not even the need for revision, but the means of going about it. The Committee for State Constitutional Revision stands firm on general revision, a complete rewriting of the basic document. Many of those of the legal profession and several other interested groups endorse revision by amendment as the best means of effecting the change. Which of the two methods is the better, of course, is difficult to decide, both have their advantages and disadvantages. While the fate of separate amendments can be decided over a period of time by the electorate on an individual basis, the question of calling a Constitutional Convention is a "one shot affair," being either accepted or rejected. The most stubborn obstacle in either case has been voter apathy and lack of interest. As stated previously, the electorate has accepted only 60 of the 90 amendment proposals since 1901. On the other hand, it is a recognized fact that the voters have shown repeatedly that they have no desire io! a Constitutional Convention. Five times (1891, 1921, 1924, 1935, and 1953) since 187 4 the Legislaiure has submitted the question of calling a Constitutional Convention and five times the question has been defeated. In fact, the lack of interest was most clearly dem0ustrated in 1953 when less than 11 per cent of the registered voters took advantage of the opportunity to vote for a Constitutional Convention; despite the active support of the administration then in power and of numerous citizen's groups and organizations. Perhaps only when each Pennsylvania citizen and voter is made to realize that his own personal welfare and economic betterment depends upon a new State Constitution will constructive action be taken by the electorate at the polls. (Next week's article will deal with the problems in a general revision of our State Constitution.) Student Government Concludes Plans For Annual Spring Weekend Affairs Student Government is making its final preparations for the annual Spring Weekend to be held May 10, 11, and 12. Three full days of activities are scheduled to officially conclude the social activities for the 1962-63 school year. On Friday evening, the Cinderella Ball will be held in the gym from 9-12 p.m., with music being provided by Gene Dempsey's orchestra. Tom Penhale is general chairman for this affair, which will officially commence the Weekend's activities. All day Saturday, the Spring Carnival will be held in the Parrish Hall parking lot. This Carnival will be composed of individual booths to be operated by the various classes and organizations on campus. Games will be held, and prizes awarded. Jim Jenkins is in charge of this phase of the program. The Weekend will come to a close on Sunday afternoon, when the official College picnic will be held at Kirby Park. Ed Rogalski announced that the day's activities will include softball, volleyball, archery and other games. Refreshments will be served. --------MUSIC DEPT.

The whirlwind of activities began Friday with the showing of th e English comedy "'School for Scoundrels," followed by the Accounting Club dance. Saturday gave the visitors a view of the intellectual life on campus. They attended various seminars and discussions, before lunch, and afterwards they went to either the Accounting Club seminar or the Biology Club fair. According to I.D.C. representatives, this science fair was very successful in impressing upon the freshmen the opportunities and accomplishments of biology majors at the college. For dinner, the freshmen and other dorm students responded to the "call of the wild" and left the confines of the "caf" for the wideopen spaces of Kirby Park.

Ideal Combination of Sports, Studies Through the ages blondes and brains and brawn and brains seem to have acquired equal notoriety as impossible combinations. li these combinations are impossible then Charles Weiss, senior Commerce and Finance major, has accomplished the impossible. "Chuck" is not only blonde and brainy but brawny too. Present captain of the soccer team, Charles recently combined his six foot height and 165 pound weight with another statistic, a near Dean's List average, to cop the President's Award which is given annually to the senior athlete with the highest cumulative academic average. He has played fullback on the College soccer team for three years, was co-captain of the team last year, and was a member of the All-East soccer team for the past two years. Presently, Charles says, "I'm retired from everything really competitive other than my church bowling league." In this, his first year of bowling, he has attained a 160 average about which he says, "I'd like to pick that up considerably." After graduation Charles intends to make golfing his sport. "Mr. Farrar says that everybody rich plays golf." Because of his interest in business (and money), Charles worked in a supermarket and as a doorto-door salesman of encyclopedias and cookware. He was especially interested in the training period because of the "spiels" he was taught. But he doesn't like selling. "I always had the feeling that I was putting something over on the people." Charles Weiss When Charles' spare time isn't _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ~engaged in sports, it's spent painting still lifes in oil in a "strictly APATHETIC ONLOOKER amateur" capacity.

Solution for the problem would seem to lie merely in the 'stiffening' of the freshman courses; the courses, however, seem beyond such correction (ask any Sophomore).

He is known, too, for his endeavors whether they be successful or not. The campus has known great men, and has considered them great because of their tireless efforts to improve the College. Two such men are College President Eugene Farley and head of the philosophy and religion department Dr. Stanko Vujica. These men, skilled in their respective areas of work, have ever found time to work with the community, the College, and the students in solidifying friendships. Because of t h e tremendous responsibilities accepted by these men they, as do industrious men everywhere, fall prey to overwork. The campus was sad when it learned of their recent illnesses. But it was not shocked because all knew that overwhelming responsibility, when seriously taken, will often exhaust even the most powerful man. Fortunately both men are recuperating quickly and may soon return to their duties. The College wishes them a speedy recovery and reminds them that "the end and the reward of toil is rest; the best of men have ever loved repose." Dear Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the 68 Wilkes College Students who contributed their time and effort to the I.D.C. Student Work Dany Project on April 6. The Project was a great success thanks to the unselfish dedication of these s :udents. Ron Ciccone and Nancy Palazzolo, Co-chairmen of the Student Work Day Project, and Dan Lyons, chairman and pilot of the Fly for Zoes Day on April 7, deserve special mention for their untiring efforts to insure the success of theh· projects. As of today, the total inco:ne from these two projects has reached $489.50, and contributions are still coming in. This money will be set aside in an interest-earning fund to provide a scholarship for Polyzoes 0 . Mavrommatis, the Gr eek orphan boy whom the I.D.C. will sponsor through the Save the Chil- and enjoy yourself during this weekend dedicated to dren Federation, when he begins you. The campus delights in welcoming you and has planned his studies at Wilkes. Welcome Future Freshmen for your arrival. Everything is planned - everything except the cordial attitude at the College. That is never "planned". It exists here year 'round. You will notice that college students, though they may be at times stymied by stifling study and class preparation, still find time for a little enjoyment in life. You will also see that, contrary to public opinion, college men and women are NICE. The Beacon staff, with the entire College, welcomes you to view the varied facets of college life, and to be a part of them in the fall. However, the success of the Student Work Day P r oject does ~10t lie in the fact that the money received has far exceeded our expectations. Rat her, the ultimate success of the Project, I feel, lies in the fact that 68 Wilkes students proudly and willingly contributed their services so that someone less fortunate than themselves might also enjoy the benefits of P. college education. In this respect, the Project was a true success.

A number of business corporations also extend support to radical-right groups. The fanatics, cranks, and mentally disturbed individuals (such a s Robert Welch, leader of the secret, highly-organized, anti-democratic John Birch Society, and George Lincoln Rockwell, pseudo-fuehrer of the American Nazi Party) who seem to emerge from the shadows during critical times in our history, spread their venom of hate, extremism, and gross absurdities on the lunatic fringe of the far-right. The views of these men often reach such idiotic proportions (Welch, for example, in his book, The Politician, said that Dwight Eisenhower had been "a dedicated, conscious agent of the Communist conspiracy." It is reassuring to know that thus far no proof has been offered to support this charge) that even the supporters of men like Welch, such as Barry Goldwater and William F. Buckley Jr., suggest that he "retire." The areas in which the radical-right has had most success, in organization, numbers of "true believers" recruited, finances and political influence, are thus far California, Texas, portions of the Midwest and the South (especially the "Bible Belt"). Except for sporadic, commercially successful forays by shrewd ideological hucksters like Fred Schwarz with his Christian Anti-Communism Crusade, the East Coast, with a more abrasive, sophisticated and skeptical urban intelligence, has not been receptive to the far-right's call-to-arms (though there are regional exceptions). The basic position of the radical-right is essentially a revolt against modern America and the world. Whatever is wrong with America and the world has resulted from Communism, especially its internal form . Communism must be stamped out, exterminated; total victory, not negotiation, not co-existence, should be the goal of America. To reach this goal, the far-right attacks certain national welfare policies which they claim undermine our national strength. They are against big spending (except for the military sector), relief payments, federal aid to education, medical care for the aged, urban r enewal, any increase in the Social Security program, foreign aid, U.S. participation in the United Nations, and big, regulatory government. These are legitimate arguments which all taxpayers may honorably debate as part of public policy but, at this point, the far-right departs Once I loved you. from democratic debate and (depending upon which leader and group Once when your icicle lips were one follows) may hurl the following accusations at some of their fellow warm citizens and institutions: liberalism leads to socialism, which leads to And your wine glass fingers communism; the Supreme Court and the State Department are part Handled my hair. of a mysterious control apparatus operated by the Communists.

False Love Blllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllttlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll l!I I POLITICAL by Dick Shemo In Harrisburg last month, a representative assembly composed of more than 500 delegates from statewide local chapters of the Committee for State Constitutional Revision met in the Forum of the State This organization is an active and dedicated group, non-partisan in character, which seeks to bring about revision of Pennsylvania's eighty-nine year old Constitution, a goal which has been worked toward for a number of years. The Committee's aim is for revision, not just because the present Constitution is old, but because the need for revision is tied to the need for a government responsive to the changing perspectives of generations of the present and future, and to changing conditions of the world in which w e and they will live. Their claim is that we need revision now because we have reached the point at which our state government can no longer function properly without substantial overhauling. They believe that if Pennsylvania is to progress, the present-day Constitution of the state must be revised and not just SCENE amended as has been the case in the past. They further state that constitutions have been changed before; why not now? Why must we be shackled to the inadequacies as maintained by the present constitution? In answer to those who would amend rather than revise, they show that the State Constitution has been amended to death already ; amended to the point of having become a patchwork of additions which are in all, grossly lacking in the task of providing for the needs of the people. For example, in one recent session of the Legislature, more than eighty amendments were proposed. To become part of the Constitution, said amendments must go through a rather strenuous procedure in that they must pass both houses of two successive legislatures and then a referendum of the state's voters, a process which takes about five years. Since 1901, ninety amendments proposed have been passed by the two successive legislative sessions and sixty have been approved by the voters in referenda. Supporters of revision point to I the above facts as evidence that a new Constitution, and not further amendment, is what is needed to correct a variety of ills maintained under the present Constitution. Significant at the March meeting was an address by Governor Scranton in which he presented his personal support and outlined a prog ram aimed at Constitutional revision by a Convention of delegates to be chosen by the people. Significant also, was the attendance at the meeting of a large number of college students, many of whom will be of voting age when the planned referendum on the final draft of the new Constitution would be presented. According to the proposed timetable of the governor, the referendum on whether to hold a Constitutional Convention would be held in November of this year, followed by election of delegates to the Convention in the spring :orimaries of 1964. The Convention would convene in June of 1964 to last no longer than one year with the new Constitution to be ;;ubmitted to the voters at the general election in 1965. �Friday, April 26, 1963 3 Wil.KES COLLEGE BEACON Format of Cinderella Ball Changed; 'Castle of Dreams' To Be Theme ID C Sponsors Hampton Exchange Plans for the fourteenth annual Cinderella Ball are currently underway. Student Government, which sponsors the dance, has hired Gene Dempsey's orchestra to play for dancing. The format for the dance, to be held May 10, has been changed from previous years. This year, it will be a formal instead of a semi-formal, and dancing will be from 9 to midnight. "Castle of Dreams" is the theme. A miniature castle will be placed in_the center of the floor. The gym will be decorated in the style of a room in the castle. Blue and white crepe paper, in the shape of a roof, will cover the ceiling. Imitation pillars w i 11 surround the dancing area, and imitation stone paper will cover the walls. The seating area for the faculty and the refreshment stand will depict tiny chapels. Favors will be distributed to those attending; Japanese Lyric Poetry Is Discussed at Forum Tickets may be purchased from Miss Millie Gittens at the book"They blossom, and then store, at the cafeteria, or at the We gaze, and then the blooms new Snack Bar.

After lunch, delegates met in Stark Hall and discussed photography, artwork, layout, and composition. During the eleven years of his association with the Taylor Publishing Company, Mr. Dolan has guided yearbook staffs throughout the United States. A bachelor of arts degree from Boston College, attendance at the Harvard School of Business Administration and Boston University Graduate School constitute Mr. Dolan's educational accomplishments. In addition, he has had experience on the staffs of numerous yearbook seminar short courses, as well as functioning instructor of yearbook counselor classes, and contributing to educational and scholastic journals. • • . 135 Pints of Blood Given I One hundred thirty-five pints of blood were collected at the blood drive which was held recently at the gym. Nine potential donors were not accepted for various physical reasons. Dean Ralston and Art Hoover are "slightly pleased" with the total, which represents an over-all increase of twelve from the fall semester, even though the goal of 200 was not reached. Hoover stated that some people returned home early to celebrate the Hebrew and Christian holidays, also contributing to the failure to reach the desir.e d goal.

The earliest haiku was written in the thirteenth century, but it wasn't until the sixteenth century that haiku became popular. Today, it is a national pastime. The haiku is a poem of awareness; the reader must try to feel the experience. "The reader," said Miss Jenkins, "must pursue the train of thought set in motion by the poet's crystalized experience." Miss Jenkins concluded by reading the haiku of different poets, namely, Bashe of the early nineteenth century, Buson of the eighteenth century, Issa of the early nineteenth century, and Shiki of the later nineteenth century.

Since their tour was through the Pennsylvania Dutch country most of the Collegians stayed with farm families who treated them as members of the household; therefore chorus members found some unwonted diversions to make their stays interesting. Charley Love and Marshall Evans got up early to help the farmer milk his cows. Frank Cognetti, who is inveterately hungry, was served an enormous bowl of homemade ice cream and syrup. He was not hungry after he finished it. Mike Rakiewicz amused himself playing jacks. Letterwomen Organize The Letterwomen of the College recently held nominations and elections of officers for the coming year. Newly elected officers are: Rose Ann Hallet, president; Carol Plonner, vice-president; Jo Signorelli, recording secretary; Bonnie Drapper, corresponding secretary; JoAnn Kearney, treasurer; Adele (continued on page 5) ICG Attends Conference; Strategy To Be Planned For State Convention Members of the Intercollegiate Conference on Government have been busy ·a ll year preparing for the I.C.G. Regional Convention which was held at King's College in March and for the State Convention which was held at Harrisburg from April 18 to 21. The business at hand this year was the revision of the Pennsylvania State Constitution. Wilkes played an important role in campaigning for Peter Lechensky, a senior at Scranton University, who was elected to represent the northeast region. There are five regions in Pennsylvania's I.C.G. organization; each region is represented by approximately ten colleges. Yesterday the Hampton - Wilkes student exchange program was put into effect when twelve students and three chaperones began travelling to Hampton, Virginia. Sponsored by I.D.C., the program is designed to promote understanding of the problems of others, which both colleges feel is essential to a wellrounded education; it is also set up to provide a notable experience that cannot be obtained by mere academic studies. Th{:! students, Ron Ciccone, Nick Alesandro, Jim Jenkins, Dick Morgan, Fred Smithson, Joe Easley, Judy Sisko, Arlene Siano, Carol Plonner, Dee Amir, Vicki 'i'atz, and Jody Morrison, and the chaperones, Gordon Roberts, Miss Millie Gittens, and Miss Matilda Mansilla, spent last night at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. They arrived today in Virginia and have begun participating in activities planned for them. Last year, the participating students travelled to Williamsburg, the site of much of our Revolutionary War history. They were also taken on a tour of the campus of Hampton College, after which a dance was held in honor of the visiting students, who stayed in the dormitories and roomed with students of the school. Hampton students will visit the College May ~ to 5 to complete the program. Juniors, Seniors Discuss Major Fields with Alumni Individual discussion groups provided the foundation for the Alumni Seminar held on campus last Saturday evening. Students, both seniors and juniors, divided into various interest groups corresponding to their major fields of study. The discussions were led by alumni members who explained the pursuits which they have been following since graduation. Following the discussion meetings, the groups met at the Commons where each gave a summary of the material covered in his respective group. Miss Genevieve Blatt, executive director ol the I.C.G. and State Secretary of Internal Affairs, has said, " ...

"Concept", the award-winning program originating from WRCV TV in Philadelphia, will focus its camera on the campus during a three-day period in May. Marciarose Shestak, producer of the show, calls · it a "look at the changing world of ideas through the eyes of leading colleges and universities." Since this half-hour program will be basically concerned with the integration of the college into community life, it will deal principally with the Labor - Management Citizens Committee, Community Research Center, and Institute of Municipal Government. It will also pinpoint the usefulness of the Graduate Division and the New Science Research Center in the development of industry.

Sponsoring the play, the Kiwanis Club of Wilkes-Barre, to raise funds for its Wheelchair Club, sold hundreds of tickets; but as is often the case in ventures of this kind, the public will purchase tickets but often does not attend the performances. This was directly reversed in this instance, due in part to judicious PR promotion. In his releases about the College, Mr. Clewell strives to solidify a close relationship between Wilkes and the community. He conducts a weekly television show on WERE TV called "The Wilkes College Capsule" and is also the creator of "Focus," a student panel discussion program which is heard weekly on radio station WARM . On a community level Pop has integrated his public relations work on a volunteer basis for the United Fund, A m er i can Brotherhood Roundtable, Mercy Hospital, and Advertising Club of Wilkes-Barre as well as other organizations. He has received the coveted Homer Peabody Award for outstanding work in the public relations field. A graduate of Blair Academy and Dartmouth College, Mr. Clewell has been actively engaged in the public relations field for over thirty years. He recalls that his first job in the field was as a member of the publicity staff of Sam H. Harris, theatrical producer in New York City. Mr. Clewell has spent some time on the West coast. In Holly wood he free lanced for several motion picture producing companies and notes a few motion pictures to his credit. Moving from the area of motion pictures, he associated himself with the advertising world as an account executive for several advertising agencies in California. Radio is the medium of communication in which Mr. Clewell has been most active. While on the West coast he began his radio career with radio station KHJ of the Los Angeles Times.

Seniors to Discuss Vocations with Alumni History and Techniques Of Guitar Discussed by Hall at Forum Meeting He then explained the guitar was engaged in a battle of popularity with the harp. The battle was decided in favor of the harp when a man w h o manufactured harps started giving them away to the aristocracy, and the guitar began to be considered plebian. The discussion continued with a presentation of three guitars: a Spanish guitar, listed at $125; a concert guitar, $36; an electric guitar, priced at $300. Hall then listed four fields in which the guitar is used: popular, everyday use, the jazz field, rock 'n roll, and the field of folk music.

FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1963 Blood Donors' Day Goal S~t at 250-plus Pints; Mmors Need Consent The goal in the blood drive to be held in the gym on Monday, April 8, is a total of at least 250 pints. Last semester, students and faculty donated 130 pints of blood, a three hundred per cent increase over the previous donor day. Dean Ralston stated that he hopes we gain such a "remarkable increase" on Monday. The campaign will begin at 9 :45 a.m. and will extend through 3 :45 p.m. Donors can obtain appointment sheets so that they can contribute blood at a time most convenient for them. Dean Ralston asks all donors to appear at the time stated on the appointment sheets. If they do so, no one will be delayed longer than one-half hour. A sufficient amount of doctors, nurses, and equipment will be on hand to keep the campaign running according to schedule. Although any person who is physically capable of giving blood will be allowed to donate, Dean Ralston reminds all those who are over 18 years but under 21 years of age that they must have one of their parents sign a consent slip. A slip is most important to these people for unless they present one at the gym on Monday, they will have their donation rejected. Focus Topic on Unionism This week "Focus" will take up the subject of "Trade Unionism in America." Participating in the discussion will be Kathy DeAngelis, John Campbell, Alan Krieger, and Marshall Brooks. Dean of Men George F. Ralston will act as moderator. The program will c o n t i n u e throughout the Easter vacation. "The Effect of Unemployment on the National Economy" will be discussed on April 14 by Joyce Cavallini, Alan Krieger, Bill Carver, and Brent O'Connell. On April 21, Gloria Zaludek, Jim Hansen, Jerry Moffatt, and DougBennington will consider "Social Practices as Opposed to Social Standards on the American College Campus."

Cinderella Ball lo Be Formal Again; To End al Stroke of Midnight Highlighting the spring social season will be the Cinderella Ball to be held Friday night, May 10, in the Gym. This will be the fourteenth annual Ball sponsored by the Student Government. Gene Dempsey's Orchestra will play for dancing. Two important changes will be made from last year's Ball. This year the dance will be formal instead of semi-formal. More important will be the time change. In the past the dance has been held from 9 p.m. until 1 a.m. This year, however, the dance will be over at midnight. The change is necessitated by the fact that most people leave after the climax of the evening, the crowning of Cinderella at 11 :30. Student Government must then pay the orchestra for the extra hour of dancing, even though the Ball is unofficially over. Also, in the past, dorm students were not given the opportunity to go out afterwards. This extra hour will enable them to have some free time before they must return to Descendant of Butler Visits College Dormitory �2. WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, April 5, 1963 Q)ITORIALS- TRES CHIC Swim Suit Styles Vary From Skirt to Sheath; 'Oliver' Sets Hair Flair We're Not Mentioning Blood Donor Day For those readers who are interested, there will be no editorial written this week on Blood Donor Day. Individuals who are interested in helping society by donating their life's blood will do so without urging. Weaklings, scarety-cats, and apatheic people will not donate. It's as simple as that. . And it really is simple - donating blood, that is. In a matter of minutes, the time required to donate a pint of blood, one can know that he has helped his fellowman. Students should bear in mind: a service offered them by the College through the Red Cross. Any student, whether or not he.. has been a blood donor, may obtain, through a request submitted to the dean, blood needed for a member of his family or for a friend. If one life be a little gleam of Time between two eternities, how satisfying it is to know that you have helped a life gleam a little brighter. - G.M.Z. by MiMi Wilson MLLE MAG College Board Mern Swimwear styles for '63 are many and varied. Both one-piece and two-piece swim suits will be equally popular. Among suit styles are the belted blouson, the swim dress with a little skirt, and the sheath suit. Straps are wider than usual. Swim suits are shown with many d i f f e r e n t necklines. Square, scooped, and V shaped necklines will flatter figures on resort beaches. Paisley prints, stripes, and prints atop stripes are painted on swimwear creations. The two most talked about fabrics are knits and patent leather in red, yellow, black, or coffee.

Bennington The Far-Out Right, Part. I Throughout the socal and political history of the United States, radical extremist movements have arisen on the left ·(in response to authoritarian ideals) and on the right (in resp_o nse to liberal ideals). Radical movements, resulting from various social, economic and political changes so drastic and basic that leaders and followers in such movements may bypass established political institutions and traditional, democratic political ground rules in order to establish their v:alue systems. Currently, the most vocal and extreme movement of dissatisfaction in America is the " radical right," a reactionary highly emotional form of conservatism which is engaged in a "holy crusade" against international and domestic Communism . . (The radical right should be distinguished from the more familiar . moderate, responsible American conservatism. ) Radical right organizations, such as the John Birch Society, Christian AntiCommunist . Crusade, Minutemen, National Indignation Committee, and so on, have received much publicity since the inauguration of the liberal Kennedy Administration in 1961. Such organizations represent in most cases a sense of frustration and anger concerning the United State_s' position in the complex, uncertam, and dangerous modern world. Radical movements in Ame~ica's past, such as the KnowNothmgs, the .Ku Klux Klan, the Abolitionists,. and the Coughlinites, were concerned primarily with domestic issues. Now the major issues center around the United States' response to international Communism,· and the relationship between the nature of the response and America's domestic life. This factor provides the most important drive of right-wing radicalism. The menace of Communism is absolute and all-embracing; therefore, the measures necessary to combat this menace must be absolute and all-embracing. The memoership of the far-right, the t echniques used to carry out the "holy crusade," and what effeds such techniques may have on our basic institutions will be the subjects of inquiry during the next weeks in this column. Letter to the Editor Editor: On behalf of the Inter-Dormitory Council we would like to thank Dr. Mailey for speaking at the JDC seminar last Thursday. Discussion centered around the apathetic American citizen and for the 55 students present it was a very stimulating experience.

"Fear no more the heat of the sun, nor the furious winter rages." "If it were not to die, t'were now to be most happy." These lines from Shakespeare's songs are the basis for the novel Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf. Previously called The Hours, the book encompasses one day in the life of a somewhat sophisticated, intelligent woman, Mrs. Dalloway, who has never known the 1igors of life. The first scene of the book takes place the morning of a day that she has set aside for giving a party to which she has invited a man who was in love with her; the last scene is the party itself. One of the major incidents of the book and the most important topic of discussion at tlie party - involves the death of Septimus Warren Smith, a character whom Mrs. Dalloway has never known, yet one who touches her deeply. When the subject of his passing is mentioned, Mrs. Dalloway, for the first time in her well-organized life, is touched by an emotion which has never come her way before. One of the unique aspects of Mrs. Dalloway is the changing of character each . time Big Ben strikes. With every announced hour, the scene shifts to a different person and a different story. Yet all patterns of the diverse plots are woven together ingeniously by the delicate pen of Mrs. Woolf. Writing in her usual highly poetic style, the author has set Shakespeare's lines into action with the character of Septimus Warren Smith, who commits suicide in an effort to be happy. Septimus is, in a sense, Mrs. Woolf herself. Both had seen the effect of war. Both had realized the impact society has on individuals: Septimus through his striving for happiness, and Mrs. Woolf through her striving for perfection. Yet Mrs. Woolf has one style defect; she tends to take the reader to the height of feeling, then drop him to such a level that he never knows whether the action he expected has occurred or not. Septimus' death is ineffective because his character warrants a much more ghastly death than that penned by Mrs. Woolf. It is as if she didn't want her favorite personality to die, and was trying to save him. . . However, this fault _is more ~~an balanced by the beautiful rendition Mrs. Woolf lends to the person of Mr. Dalloway in his act of "stating" his love for his wife. He simply hands her a bouquet of flowers, a deed handled poetically (continued on pace 6) I �Friday, April 5, 1963 Wil.KES COLLEGE BEACON Yankees Picked lo Cop A.L.

The purpose of the Forum is to acquaint interested high school students with the Education Program at the College. Members of the club will be there to answer questions that might be asked, and to acquaint the students with the different areas and opportunities open to the teacher. A secondary purpose is to aid existing FTA Clubs and to arouse interest in the formation of these clubs elsewhere. Chairman Thomas Crop announced that invitations have been sent to area high schools and many have announced that they would attend; he stated that this year's prog ram promises to be as successful as last year's. The t entative program of the Forum includes a speaker and discussion groups. Refreshments will be served. Field Trip "The education of the deaf-mute child is a rapidly evolving program," said Miss Helen O'Donnell, director of the Pennsylvania State Oral School in Scranton, to a group of 20 students who toured the school this week as an Education Club field trip. "It is an important educational area with vast opportunities and badly in need of recruits." The school, which presently enrolls about 150 dormitory students, is the only completely state supported school of its kind. Officials of the school, along with representatives of the Pennsylvania Office of Rehabilitation, apply a complete battery of psychological, auriologi- cal, and audiological tests to each applicant before admission. The school can accommodate only a few of the great number who wish to enroll, for pupils there, ranging in age from 3 to 18, receive an individualized education and the benefits of modern equipment, specially trained instructors, and new and comfortable living quarters. Following the tour, Miss O'Donnell again stressed the need for more t eachers in oral education. She said that scholarships are numerous and there is a wide variety of opportunities for the graduate. Some special courses are required beyond a B.S. in Education, and in Pennsylvania they are offered at the University of Pittsburgh and DePaul Institute. For more information, Miss O'Donnell suggested that anv interested student write to the editor of American Annals of the Deaf, Galaudet College, Washington 2, D. C. I Honor Seminar to Be Held A Seminar on the Honor Code will be held Thmsday, April 4, at 7:30 p.m. in the cafeteria. Two seminars have already been held and t his will be the final seminar held concerning this topic. Some of the t entative propositions of the Honor Code are: students shouldn't give or receive any information concerning a test or a quiz; a student must report any infraction of this code to an Honor Committee, which will be comp?sed of seven members: three semors, two juniors, and two sophomores; decision of the Court will be det ermined by a unanimous vote of the members. For the first time in the College's history seniors will join in the small discussion groups. In previous years the seminars were attended by alumni only. This innovation, according to alumni secretary Gordon Roberts, will "provide an opportunity for our graduating seniors (and future alumni) to meet alumni of the College who are "out in the field". In addition to enabling seniors to learn of their fields of study through contact with those working in each field, the group meetings have a three-fold purpose: first, to afford alumni an opportunity to meet with other College alumni w~o are ~ the ~ame field; second, to ~rovide an opportunity for alumni to exchange professional views with one another; and third, Representatives Enter Band Festival; Collegians Win Honors in Eisteddfod Students from thirty-six Pennsylvania colleges and universities have been selected to participate in the 16th Annual Intercollegiate Band Festival to be held at Bloomsburg State College.

The new cafeteria which opened this week is really a tribute to its designers and its contractors. Sturdy, comfortable, and well-equipped, it is an enjoyable place for lunch. But then, so was the Commons when it first opened. Over the years the Commons has remained sturdy and well-equipped. The capable staff has taken care of that. During those same years it has gotten noisy and ransacked. Students have taken care of thaL No allusion is here made concerning the garbage - banana peels and half-eaten sandwiches - which day students leave as mementoes on tables. Specific reference is made, instead, to the seventy-five chairs which were broken this year, · and to the tables which have been mutilated by cigarette burns and sentimental scratches. How anyone, or groups of "anyones", can be so destructive as to smash seventy-five chairs in one year is beyond comprehension. This newspaper office did not receive word of seventy-five "accidents" occurring to the cafeteria in that designated time period. Students might keep in mind that the damaging of properly is a crime. Disrespect, too, is a crime - a social one. And those men and women who make up the cafeteria crew deserve respect. A staff is· employed in the Snack Bar, as is presently employed in the Commons, to assure students a clean dining area. This staff is an industrious, pleasant crew who performs duties well. They deserve the cooperation of students who avail their services. The very least a student can do is to deposit his leftover lunch in containers placed in strategic spots (as they say in the movies) throughout the cafeteria. "Outsiders" seem to think that college students are sloppy. Why prove it? ---: GMZ To Meet Those Who Know What better opportunity does one need than to meet those men who are experienced? Taking this question in hand the Alumni Office has undertaken the stifling task of contacting alumni throughout the United States, inviting them to return to the College to meet undergraduates in informal discussion. For seniors this meeting will be of infinite value. How many can truly say that they know what's expected of them in their areas of endeavor? Many have only a hazy idea of the work they will encounter after graduation. Many, too, are deliberating between graduate school and employment. In meeting "those who know", the seniors may be able to resolve much of their apprehension. The seminar will also serve the purpose of renewing acquaintances among alumni And what undergraduate has not at some time wondered what becomes of a graduate when he "enters the work-a-day" world? Speaking of this world and its practical implications, seniors may keep in mind that many of those alumni who will be at the seminar are those who will interview jobhunting June graduates.

ON THE BANDSTAND with Hal Kistler In spite of innumerable attempts by many well-known jazz artists to cash in on the bossa nova, it looks as though the combination of the samba and jazz might survive. A hard core of serious artists such as Stan Getz and Herbie Mann have been doing some very nice things and with them, lies the future of bossa nova. (This is not to imply that they haven't been amply rewarded for their efforts.) One of the reasons, I feel, that the bossa nova hasn't become more popular than it is, is the lack of a standardized dance which may be used with the music. A new form, such as bossa, to gain widespread popularity, almost always needs a popular dance. The problem here is not the lack of one, but the fact that there are too many versions and no one has become widely accepted. In spite of this we ::ire h•wing more and more requests in the clubs to play bossa nova. Unfortunately, most people associate it only with "Desifinado," the tune which first made bossa nova popular. There are many, many other fine bossa nova tunes, particularly those which have been done in recent albums by Herbie Mann. Whatever the futur e holds for bossa nova, the form as a form has done much for the field of jazz. The works of such fin e artists a s Stan Getz, Charlie Byrd, Bud Shank, and Herbie Mann have been heard by many people who would have never been exposed, (or wouldn't have exposed themselves) to good jazz had bossa nova not been born. Why, if this keeps up, we may even be able to play jazz in the night clubs again! A POEM I love And love is good. Should Chance make other seem the case I'll not believe. Should others circumstance deceive, Not I.

These two undesirables poor management and uncourteous behavior - combine to produce an atmospher e of tension which is not by any means conducive to proper study. The arrangement of having only one employee on duty at the ma.in desk is an utterly ridiculom o;,e. This one person, who has only two hands by the way, is expected to check books in and out, make trips to the locked periodical room, find the periodicals, and at the same time render aid to students . With a schedule such as this something (or should I say someone) is goi!tg to suffer. And, quite obviously, it has been the students, who are told in a mi serable tone of voi.ce, "1 can't leave the desk a lone," or words to that effect. It seems to me that a college with over 7 ½ million dollars' worth of tangible assets should be able to have at least two employees on hand to cope with the needs of 1200 students. A simpler solution could be found by allowing the students free access to periodicals as is done in the Osterhout Library, for example. If the system works well at an institution which a greatly diversified public employs, it certainly should be successful at this ;nsti. tution, where the bond of education joins all together. Although I sympathize with the library employees upon whom these policies are forced by those in higher positions, I do not condone their miserable attitudes toward the students, whom they regard as annoying when r equested for aid. I suggest that these one or two bellicose individuals stop before making snide remarks an<l realize that it is to these very students that they owe their jobs. Why not have an official selfservice library and eliminate all custodians? In practice we do have a self-service library, you know. "Help yourself and stop at the checkout stand on the way out." _ this is the exact operation in effect. In any case, there is no excuse for outright l'Udeness. Good manners frowns on such conduct.

The event was sponsored by the WilkesBarre Women's Division of the State of Israel Bonds. Local young women modeled these fashions amidst a setting of Grecian pillars draped with pink and blue chiffon. Marilyn Van Derbur, former Miss America, was fashion commentator. Outstanding among the Israel creations was a swim suit of peacock blue and gold accompanied by a reversible cape. A matching coat and dress ensemble called "The Rose of Sharon" showed tiny pink roses strewn on a black background. Silver and grey complimented each other in a beautiful floor length lace gown called "Caesarea." A highlight of the Israel portion of the show was a ball gown in antique gold with a matching stole. Designed by Marc Bohan for the House of Dior was a brick red suit with side-buttoned jacket and Aline skirt. A black and white check suit dress was boldly belted in black patent leather. Mare Bohan injected surprise into a black broad. tail coat trimmed with a white mink collar which reversed to a full length white mink coat. A sophisticated cocktail dress in black "La Nuit" was beaded on the bodice and at the hemline. It is interesting to note that each of the creations has its own undergarments to be worn exclusively with the individual creation. The Dior-Israel Collection has been shown in Paris, London, and New York. Wilkes-Barre is the first city of under· a million population in which it has been shown. Beauty Queen Commentates Former Miss America, Marilyn Van Derbur, who won the coveted title in 1958, is a tall blond with sparkling green eyes and a dimpled smile. Naturalness is the keynote to her appearance. She wears only lipstick and eyeshadow and does her own hair. For the evening of the show she was attired in a red brocade dress styled with a scoop neckline, short sleeves, and a sheath skirt. Her only jewelry was a single strand of pearls. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Colorado, Miss Van Derbur is a combination of naturalness, charm, and enthusiasm. When she is not on tour, she can be seen on the Bell Telephone Hour, and each year acts as a hostess at the Miss America Pageant. vice with a $3400 education. Sincerely, Disgusted Student (Name Withheld Upon Request) P.S.-Perhaps the great number of missing books can be attributed to the students' unwillingness to deal with these unco-operative staff members - rather than risking an embarrassing scene at the desk, many students simply walk out with their unchecked bo0k and then are afraid to return it fe r I fear of apprehension. I I * * '' Dear Editor: Much discussion has occurred during the past several months regarding the possibility of the College adopting an Honor Code. Two seminars have been held at which the students expressed strong opinions - both for and against an Honor Code. The discussion ineluded an exploration of the schools with existent Honor Codes. The specific Honor Code as drawn up by the Honor Code Committee was also under discussion. The conclusion at each of the seminars was that each student on the College campus should be acquainted with the present controversy. Each student's opinion is essential. The Honor Code as drawn up is still a starting point. It proposes that students, in order to encourage maturity and individual responsibility, adopt a code by which they will be "on their honor." Discussion has also centered ab~ut the role of teacher participa-• t1on und~r s~ch a co~e. If stndents beheve m and decide to ado~t an Honor Code, the next step ~,,11 be a request to the teachers askmg _ for their help in administering non-proctored exams. . . . There ar: other . prov1s1ons m the cod: - _this one 1s t~e center and n~a~nsprmg from which ot~er prov1s1ons c_ome. T~sts, for mstanc;, "'.ould ~till be sub~ect to a_ te~c~er s d1scret10n - that 1s, ea_ch md1v1dual teacher would have his ow~ standard_s . and methods by which . he admm1sters t~sts. We are askmg for co-operati~n. We :3-re not _(to clear up one m1sc~ncept1on) puttmg faculty members m the background, so to speak. The main point of such a code is that its success or failure rests on the students and their acceptance of responsibility. It is up to the individual to make such a code a success. Arguments have been proffered against the code. Those against it feel it is not workable and students can't be depended upon. Others say that three other colleges have honor codes. The next seminar on April 4 will cover some of these points. The establishment of such a code has been recognized by both its proponents and opponents as being a step towards a college atmosphere stressing the individual his responsibilities and his goals. Express your opinion at the April Seminar. It is from this reaction that the next step will be taken. What the next step is to be is up to you, the students. Sincerely, Gail Roberts Dear 1976 Wilkes College Library Card Holders: Last week in this column, Jerry Moffatt pointed out a couple of interesting phenomena. First, that if a boy wishes to be generally accepted in twentieth century American Society, he should carry a purse, and secondly, that it takes, hyperbolically speaking, only a few seconds to check out a book at the library. I suppose we know what Jerry was saying in his story - abide by the rules "and all that." But what if you don't find the book you want on that shelf "next to the ladies' rest room?" And suppose Miss Lex has no record of its being checked out? Well, you've got trouble, my friend. Someone has thoughtlessly borrowed a book illegally and has left you to com(continued on page 6) �Friday, March 29, 1963 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 3 Blood Donor Day Scheduled April 8; Students Urged lo Improve Response On April 8, the day scheduled for blood donor day, it is hoped that every effort will be made by the students and faculty to make this appeal one hundred per cent successful, according to Dean Ralston. Organized through dorm presidents and class officers, the campaign will be conducted from 9 :45 a.m. to 3 :45 p.m. in the gym. There will be sufficient doctors, nurses, and equipment available so that there will be no delay or individual tie up for more than one-half hour. All donors will be given an appointment sheet so that they can indicate their preferences as to the Manuscript to Present Bergman's 'Magician' A medical staff examines those who intend to donate blood for the annual drive on campus. Students under 21 years of age have one week in which to secure parental permission. Secondary Education Topic al Forum; Culturally Deprived Person Discussed "The Roles of Secondary Education" was the topic discussed by Mrs. Sandra Bennington at the Forum last week. Elementary education, she stated, was formulized in the nineteenth century. It followed a pattern begun in 1635, with the development of the Latin Grammar School in Boston. Limited for the most part to the study of the classics, this school had as its purpose university preparation. With the increase of population, more schools were needed, and thus was created the academy. Similar to the grammar school, the academy had the same purpose and added that of preparation for teaching. The academy could not meet the demands of population increase, thus the high school was begun about the same time as the Civil War was being fought. The turn of the twentieth century marked the beginning of a different attitude shown toward secondary education. The aim of education is the preparation for citizenship, which Mrs. Bennington termed "questionable." Mrs. Bennington then stated that European and American education cannot be compared. "The purpose of European education is to achieve a high standard of scholarship; this leaves no legitimate basis for comparison of education in both countries," reasoned Mrs. Bennington. She then discussed the problem of the culturally deprived student in American schools. She said, " Reading is his poorest subject. One of the main reasons for this is the high mobility rate," she stated. Education today has taken on many roles, that of deciding dietary habits among them. Mrs. Bennington concluded with the question, "Has society asked too much of public education?" Next week, John B. Hall is scheduled to speak and demonstrate " The Guitar." Winners Named Approximately 400 people visited the Art Department Exhibit held last week at the West Market Street Art Gallery. Ten works were sold and brought a total of $150 to their producers. Jan Pethick won first prizes for his works in both the art and sculpture categories. The' following also received awards: Art second prize, Bob Ford; honorable mention, Jane Kindervater and Bill Schwab; Sculpture honorable mention, John Karnan and Bob Hrynkiw. The exhibit was sponsored primarily to encourage interest in the fine arts among the students here. DINNER DANCE JCC Seeks New Members The College division of the Wilkes-Barre Junior Chamber of Commerce will hold its annual membership drive from noon April 1 to Monday, April 8. This organization's purpose is based on service to the community and to the College and hence is not a profit-making or socially oriented club. The J.C.'s welcome all male candidates who can fill the following qualifications: he must have a good moral character, be a fully matriculated student, and he must have at least forty-six credit hours of academic work. All applicants can register at the J.C. table on the first floor in the cafeteria between April 1 and April 9.

The Manuscript will present a film, The Magician. directed by Ingmar Bergman, tonight in Stark 116. The first showing will begin at 7 p.m. and the second showing at 9:30 p.m. Max Von Sydow has the title role as Dr. Vogler, a man with a , questionable reputation, while Ingrid Thulin plays his wife. Other characters that appear are: an ancient cronie, a bluff business manager, and a coachman. When these people arrive at the town, they are placed under house arrest and are examined by Gunner Bjornstrand, a medical man. The events that take place in the house the night of the arrest and the next morning comprise a horror film that will "cast doubt on our most ordinary senses." Bosley Crowther of the New York Times has this to say about the picture, "The Magician is full of extraordinary thrills that flow and collide on several levels of emotion and intellect . . . rich in comedy and melodrama as well as deep philosophical thought, and wonderful in its graphic details, it is a thoroughly exciting film." time they wish to donate. Donations will be accepted from all persons physically capable of donating blood. It should be remembered however that all persons over 18 years but under 21 years of age must have a parental consent slip signed and presented at the gym before their donation will be accepted. This is very important, (since it occurred last time) that many pledges were refus ed because those involved lacked consent slips. At the blood day conducted last fall, the students and faculty donated a total of 130 pints, which incidentally was an increase of three hundred per cent over the number of pints contributed at the previous donor day. Although this is a remarkable improvement, when we consider the size of our college, we should be giving a total of at least 250 pints before we consider our drive a success. If anyone has any questions at all concerning blood donation, they are asked · to contact Dean Ralston. Cheerleaders Hold Trials Cheerleaders for next year's squad will be selected next week. Practice sessions have been held Wednesday and Thursday of this week and the final practice will be Monday, April 1, at 4:00 in the gym. Any girl who is interested in trying out and who has not been able to attend previous practices should be sure to attend this last session. Tryouts will be held Tuesday, April 2, at 4:00 in the gym. Those people who will act as judges for tryouts will be the Executive Board of the Women's Activities Association, Mrs. Saracino, Mr. Reese, Mrs. Ahlborn, Millie Gittens, Mr. Hoover, and the present cheerleading squad. Muis' Plans Include Foreign Travel "A professor's dream - a few hours of lecture and many hours for scholarly work" is what awaits Dr. and Mrs. Mui in their new posts as visiting lecturers at Aixen-Provence in France. In a recent interview the couple disclosed that they will assume these new roles at the Institute for American Universities in August. But their traveling will begin before that time. On the heels of final exams and grades will come a hectic packing of books and records in p re p a ration for the couple's trip to the University of British Columbia where Dr. Mui will lecture on British history to Canadian school teachers. Since he experienced the first reaction of Canadians to a Chinese teaching English history last summer at the University of Alberta he is "not too disturbed" about the outcome. Research on Tea During their year at the Institute the Muis will lecture - 3 hours a week - and do research on two seemingly diverse subjects, tea and coal. The trade and consumption of tea in Britain - their pet project which they started in 1956 - has led them throughout Britain and is now taking them to France. They are interested not only in the origin of tea drinking in Britain but also in the kind of people who drank the East Indian beverage and the geographical distribution of these consumers. Tea drinking may have been a "status symbol" to the early British! As might be expected Dr. and Mrs. Mui approach the subject from slightly different angles the historian and the sociologist but they find that this is a healthy situation. They contend that any two people approach a subject differently and that they act as a check on one another - probably catching a lot of points they'd miss working separately. Their friendly raillery on the points of difference between history and sociology and the comparative advantages of British and American libraries, etc. shows the spirit with which they engage in their research - often m u tu a 11 y compromising somewhere between their diverging points of view. Their search has already led them down a variety of paths through innumerable lib1·aries both in the U.S. and Britain, through the records of shopkeepers (big and small) householders, the famous East Indian Co., and aristocratic households. Some of their most exciting research has been done in musty, old, uncatalogued files and chests where they have experienced the thrill of uncovering documents untouched for hundreds of years. They reminisce laughingly about the hours spent in the Public Record Office - "a monument to British traditional preference to be uncomfortable" an enormous, drafty room heated only by a small fireplace where both, bundled up in bulky scarfs, coats, boots, and gloves, searched through old trunks full of documents and soon forgot the cold in the heat of discovery. Year in England The following year will find the c o up I e "shivering in England, searching among the dusty old customs records of the outports" where they hope to culminate their research so that they can publish their findings. They have already published two articles: "William Pitt and the Enforcement of the Commutation Act, 1784-1793," and Dr. and Mrs. Mui "The Commutation Act and the British Tea Trade, 1784-1793." In addition Dr. Mui will be busy preparing for publication his study of the nationalization of the coal industry in Britain. The careers of the couple have many parallel points in both their early and later years. Both Columbia · graduates they have spent much of their careers on campus - both arriving during the post-war days, Mrs. Mui in 1948 and Dr. Mui in 1949. This was the first teaching post for both British born Mrs. Mui, who came to this country as a child, and Chinese born Dr. Mui, who came to the U.S. as a graduate student and decided to stay after the Communists took over his country. Dr. Mui tells the story of one of his Chinese friends who decided to "go back.'' Before he left for China the friend arranged to inform Dr. Mui of the situation in his home country by means of a photograph he would send him. If conditions were favorable he would stand for the photograph; if not he would lie down. The photograph came. He was lying down. After a short period of separation from the college - Dr. Mui as evaluator for the Voice of America and the then Miss Holbrook as definer for MerriamWebster's controversial Unabridged Dictionary, the couple not only returned to the campus but "coupled their forces." As Mrs. Mui puts it "Rumor had it that they eloped that January!" Ironically enough Mrs. Mui lectured on the pitfalls of the "romantic complex" the very week she changed her name. �4 WlI.KES COLLEGE BEACON Time Out! by JIM JACKIEWICZ, Sports Editor Renewed furor concerning the sport of boxing has arisen over the tragic and untimely death of former featherweight champion Davy Moore. Moore died following a bout for the featherweight championship as he was knocked out in the tenth round by Sugar Ramos. It has been found that Moore sustained a bruise at the base of the brain caused by his head hitting the bottom ring-rope, as he was floored by Ramos. After the fight ,Moore walked to his dressing room, but collapsed forty minutes later. He died in a few days. The event of Moore's death has been coupled with the death of welterweight boxer Benny Paret several months ago. The combined tragedies of Moore and Paret have set off a reaction aimed at banning of the sport which will last for some time. Bitter indictments of pugilism. have been hurled from s u c h widespread sources as Govemor Pat Brown of California (where the Moore fight took place) , the Vatican newspaper, and, of course, the irrepressible Paul Harvey. Govemor Brown has initiated legislative measures in the Califomia legislature that would ban boxing in that state. Baseball Team Opens at Juniata; Joe Kruczek to Get Starting Nod Tuesday will mark the opening day of the Wilkes baseball season as the Colonel hardballers travel to Central Pa. to meet the Indians of Juniata College. Coach Roland Schmidt's squad have been engaging in outdoor practice sessions all this week and are quickly rounding into shape. Prior to this week's practice at the old Artillery Park field, the team had been training in the gym due to the adverse weather conditions and the condition of the playing field. This situation resulted in the team's having little more than a week of actual batting practice which is so vital to successful baseball. The players, however, have been improving at a steady rate and are looking forward to another successful campaign. Righthander Joe Kruczek will probably get the starting assignment on opening day. The hardthrowing veteran pitched the openThe Vatican denounced boxing as "murder", "a crime" ing game for the Wi!kesmen last which takes human life for entertainment and personal gain. Harvey commented (emotionally) with similar pronouncements. Friday, March 29, 1963 I It is true that Davey Moore was beate· 1 badly by Ramos. It is also true that Emile Griffith attacked Benny Paret with a more savage onslaught. Both fights were for championships and in each match the vanquished lost everything. It is agreed that both of these fights resulted in horrible and shameful waste of human life. But, is boxing inherently evil? I think not. The highly organized sport of boxing is fundamental, a basic tenet of human society. It appears to satiate some of the animal, natural desires and tendencies in the human being. Throughout history men have fought. What, then, could be more in accord with human nature, than a pair of superbly conditioned human specimens vying with each other, using nothing more than their bodies as weapons- hold his own with a bat. Ron played at first most of last season and is expected to improve as a result of that experience. Although it is not definite, Bill Mainwaring will get a shot at the second base job. Second has been a problem for Coach Schmidt since he has no experienced men to take over the job. From all indications, it appears that Mainwaring will get the role because of his defensive abilities. The third base and shortstop posts will be filled by veteran s Lou Zampetti and Tom Trosko. Both are slick fielders and solid hitters. Zampetti is always a threat to unload an extra-base hit and last year was the leading slugger on the team. Catching chores will go to Len Yankosky who will be backed up by big Len Rishkofski.

Among the other outfield candidates are Gus Martin, Jim Kumiega, and Chips Reilly. Also a candidate for a picket post is big Bob Cavalari who is slowl y rounding into shape.

Rounding out the pitching corps for the Colonels are veterans Bob Fleming, Nick Gentile and Mike Schwefel, and newcomers Richie Klick and Tari Eckhart. 1-M NOTICE Any team interested in intramural softball turn in team roster to Mr. Reese in gym as soon as possible. Leagues will begin play as soon as enough teams apply and schedules are drafted. Millions of people will pay a good deal of money to witness such spectales. The fight fan enjoys seeing two men hit each other, each using a variety of ingrained skills to defeat the other. Due to the natural aspects of fighting and the witnessing of such combat. we do not believe that it is evil for others to make money through exploiting the physical skills of athletes. If such exploitations were . evil, then the whole of professional athletics would be evil . Boxing has basic functions in another area of society. It is a salvation from the searing torrent of economic and social prejudice to which a large segment of our society is subjected. Through boxing and the other professional sports these suppressed people may free themselves from the plight; discrimination. Young men who are willing to wager their bodies and mental abilities for a few years have the hopeful prospect of raising themselves from this cesspool of prejudice. Over. the years, the Jews, Italians, Poles, and subsequently the Negroes and Latins have sought this convenient road out of the wildemess of social isolation. We celebrate the victory of these young men and they will continue to draw our adulation as long as they promise us enough in the manner of regulated mayhem. Perhaps it would be well for the advocates of the prohibition of the pugilistic sport to look behind the sensational headlines that go with boxing. They would find countless stories of the phenomenal rise in stature of numerous boxers. Such a story is the one concerning the present heavyweight champion Charles Sonny Liston who raised himself from bare subsistence as one of seventeen children living on a sandy patch in Arkansas to an international figure. Through the shortcomings of the state of Arkansas. Sonny was allowed to grow up without the ability to read or write. This cannot be blamed on boxing . It is known that Sonny has a criminal record, but this is likely due to the biological necessity of eating. There is not much demand for illiterates in the labor market. So, Sonny, the "dark scowling giant" became a fighter and probably the most efficient one in existence. Stories such as Liston's are common in ring annals. Those who would ban boxing should look at the biographies of such fighters as Johnny Saxton, a disturbed kid who grew up in the Brooklyn slums, Carmen Basilio, who rose from a small onion patch to become world champion, Gene Fullmer, a Morman who drew himself up from the Utah copper mines, Archie Moore, another ex-convict who righted himself. and many, many more. We agree that boxing has its seamy side, but we also contend that it is both basic and necessary. Ban boxing? be next.

Always displaying exceptional control, Joe was the most consistent hurler on last year's squad. Ron Grohowski will probably hold down the first base job opening day. The tall, lean sophomore is above-average defensively and can filled by fleet Matt Himlin. Matt is always a high average hitter and is perhaps the most talented picket on the team. In addition to his hitting and defensive skills, the lean junior is also an excellent baserunner.

Sophomore Gary Frank, an exbasketball star at Kingston High School, teamed w ith Gary Einhorn last year to compile the best doubles record on the team.

Based on the Nobel Prize winning novel by Andre Gide, this fihn version won three awards at the Cannes International Film Festival for the Best French Production, Best Acting, and Best Musical Score. STUDENT SKETCH 18th Century Comedy According to Mr. Groh, director of Cue 'n Curtain, the response of the audience was favorable indeed to the successful presentation of 'Look Back in Anger.' There w ere full houses at each performance, and it is regretted that some people had to be turned away due to lack of seating space. This problem will be alleviated by the construction of the Fine Arts building. The seating arrangement will be "comfortable as well as ample.'' Casting for the next production, "The Rivals," is well under way. The cast, which will consist of eight men and five women, still has roles to be filled. The opportunity for parts in any of Cue 'n Curtain's productions is open to all students. "The Rivals" is an eighteenth century comedy. When compared with "Look Back in Anger," its outlook is one of fun and it is objective rather than subjective. Dr. Edgerton had suggested that presentation of this period would be beneficial to those students who are enrolled in the World Literature classes. Mr. Groh also stated that "even though the audiences at recent performanc es have been large, a greater percentage of the student body is encouraged to attend. More students should allow themselves to discover that each presentation is an exciting adventure in the theatre. It should also be noted that there are som e highly talented and capable people on campus."

What is disturbing is that similar incidents have occurred before this, but apparently no steps have been taken to curb them. I would like to suggest some possible steps to prevent the continuance of these losses. First of all, there is an obvious need for more coatracks. W'ith coats in heaps around the bases of the few racks that are there, it would be easy for someone so inclined to take advantage of the situation. Also, leaving the lights on in the area near the door might discourage potential purse-snatchers. One other possibility might be to establish some kind of checking service for purses. Many girls would probably be very willing to pay perhaps a nickel for the guarantee that their valuables could not be taken. Whether these specific proposals are employed or not is irrel evant. We can do the difficult immediately, But the impossible takes a little longer. i Wilkes College BOOKSTORE Millie Gittins, Manager >----#--,. .~ . , . . PERUGlNO"S VILLA ltallan•American Re■taurcmt A.

He began with the painter Whistler who said, "No man except the artist can effectively judge his own art." Whistler believed that r eality consisted in all that can be observed and expressed scientifically. He then commented on Ruskin who believed the artist had a twofold purpose, t o see and to feel the world around him. Ruskin thought that every thing should be recorded. With the mention of Manet and Monet, Bomboy stated that the a rtist now moved out of the studio a nd into the world; they painted outdoors to capture light. Monet's concept of art became the credo of Impressionism, which was to be modern, to be impartial and impassive, to make no judgments concerning what the artist was seeing, to be individual, to be sincere, and to treat color effectively. Monet's concept was viewed by the Forum in his painting " The National Holiday," which critics considered monotonous and lacking in composition. Monet 's "Lunch on the Grass'' was compared to Manet's painting of the same name. BomQOY stated that one of the chief distinctions between the two works was the effect of color and the cont rast of models. Critics thought these paintings indecent and gaudy because of the brilliance of colors. Both Monet and Manet painted with an "open eye ;" that is, they didn't analyze a subject but painted it exactly as they saw it. Beginning with the painter Pissarro, Bomboy stated that the subject turned to nature and developed a naturalistic st yle. Bomboy then showed paintings by Degas, who made use of pastels. He stated that Degas was more interested in activity, as was seen in his paintings "The Ballet Dancer" and "At the Race Course." Works by Cezanne were then viewed; Bomboy said that Cezanne broke away from Impressionism by using color fo r volume and shape. Bomboy concluded by showing " Never More" by Gauguin and "The Forest " by Van Gogh. The meeting ended on a note of levity when Bomboy mentioned t hat one can buy an original painting - still wet - in Tahiti, fo r a pproximately fi ve dollars. The paintings ar e original Gauguins his son , that is. Mrs. Sandra Bennington is scheduled to speak next week on " The Changing Rol e of Modern ducation ." Panel Views Social Norms The subject of "Focus" for this week will be " Social Practices versus Social Standards on the American College Campus." Panelists include Joyce Cavallini, Bill Carver, Alan Krieger, and Brent O'Connell. Serving as moderator is Gordon E. Roberts. Ear thquakes and their usefulness to cosmologists was explained by Elsasser, when he spoke last Monday evening in a crowded Stark 116 on the " Interior of the Earth." He prefaced his lecture by stating that most of the observable structures of our planet have been studied arduously. The dynamics of the earth's interior still lies in the r ealm of the unknown, however, because we have been unable to explore that region. He went on to explain, with the a id of camera slides, how geophysicists are able to measure and interpret sound waves emanating from an earthquake and travelling through our planet in order to glean information on that "dark area." Following a brief description of the layers of the earth the crust, mantle, core, inner core there was a discussion period and El sasser answered questions of students and faculty members. "The Earth, A Magnet" was the topic of Tuesday's lecture. Elsasser discussed the shift in the earth's magnetic fields, commenting that its north magnetic field was once located in t he southern Pacific Ocean. After his lectures on Monday and Tuesday Dr . Walter M. Elsasser, professo1· in the department of geology at Princeton University, toured the College science department. Noting the new wing being added for graduate researc;h in _p_hysics, biology, and chemistry, he ·commented: "The facilities for The Beacon WILKES COLLEGE vol. xxvn.

Under the "Visiting Scientist s Program" he has !ectured at three universities and colleges during the past three years to " stimulate interest in physics." The program is now in its sLxth year and is suppor t ed by the National Science Foundation. Befor e returning to Princeton, Elsasser accepted an invitation to view the Wilkes-Barre area via airplane. Dr . Detweiler, chairman of the physics department, piloted the single-engine plane - property of _the Anthracite Flying Club which is hangared at . the Forty Fort Airport. Five Perform in Cue 'n' Curtain Selection, 'Look Back in Anger' The controversial drama, Look Back in Anger, will be presented at Chase Theater tonight and tomorrow evening at 8:30. Directed by David Fendrick, the play is a product of John Osborne, a leader in the new school of playwrights, the "angry young men." Look Back in Anger is a love story whose plot centers about a conflict between Jimmie Porter (played by Sumner Hayward), a bitter iconoclast and the original "angry young man," and his gentle but equivocating wife (Sieglinde Vallot). The main theme deals with the twentieth century's loss of values and attempts to show the futility of any attempt to overthrow the apathy of this age. Cliff Lewis, friend and defender of both Jimmie a nd his wife, is played by Martin Brennan, while Marc Hirschman stars as Colonel Redfern. Beverly Hanko portrays Helena Charles. The three-a ct play has only one setting, an attic apartment in the midlands of England, an industrial area near London. The fi ve member cast is composed primarily of veterans, with .only one newcomer. Hirschman, who is Cue 'n ' Curtain's VicePresident, has won the MargoAddie Alumni Award and has appeared in Enemy of the People, Blythe Spirit, and The Duchess of Malfi. Miss Vallot was voted " Best Actress of the Year" in 1962 and starred in Impromptu along with Hayward. Miss Hanko, the newcomer to the group, is, however , not without experience, for she was also a member of St. Mary's Dr amatic Society before entering college. Walter Dexter is in charge of lighting effects while sets for the drama were designed by Edward Lipinski. IDC Plans Airplane Rides, Hampton Trip, Seminar The Inter-Dormitory Council of the College has announced the scheduling of three events for the forthcoming weeks. Planned for Thursday is a sem inar with Dr. Hugo Mailey, chairman of the political science department, as guest speaker. I.D.C. extends an invitation to all and will serve fre e coffee and doughnuts to those in attendance. Next weekend twelve members of the Council will participate in the "Hampton Weekend." Those attending are: Judy Sisco, Adene Siano, Car ol Plonner, Fran Corace, Jody Morrison, Dee Amir, Fred Smithson, Dick Morgan, Nick Alesandro, Ron Ciccone, Alan Gilbert, and Jim Jenkins. The third event will be the sponsoring of airplane rides over the City and the College in connection with the Council's " Student Workday Project." The Project's pur pose is the financing of the Council's "adopted" Greek orphan. �wn.n:s 2 EDITORIAL A VALID COMPLAINT The college library is or should be the focal point of academic life - the place where students can gather reference material they need and use it in a quiet, pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately this is not true of our campus library. Instead of the co-operative, efficient manner one finds at neighboring libraries, we find here a very noticeable lack of interest and lack of co-operation. Often pupils are shunted around as if they were annoying the staff with their "petty requests" for aid. Others are kept waiting for magazines and reference materials because the "desk might be left untended" - perhaps being forced to come back with the same request three or four times. Questions are often met with such disagreeable response that students hesitate to incur displeasure and go elsewhere for their information. Too often visitors are also subjected to the general ungracious treatment As the Beacon has mentioned previously some of the library staff members disregard the "silence" rule and in addition even dismiss students' (for whose use ostensibly the library exists) pleas for quiet with disinterest and disdain. Needless to say this is not true of the entire staff but is true of a few with whom the students have frequent contact. This situation is certainly not a recent development. Instead it has existed long enough for the general student populace to share this adverse opinion of our library. Undoubtedly there are reasons for these deficiencies but certainly some action can be taken to correct this unfortunate aspect of an otherwise fine institution. - BAL LOVE POEM We are not like lovers, you and I. We do not share the glances Or the vision gleaming eye That others share. We do not kiss and linger hand in hand Caressing fingers Do not touch our lips When we do touch.

COLLEGE BEACON Friday, March 22, 1963 C1·itic Reviews Osborne Play by Miss Patricia Boyle, Instructor, English Dept. The Wilkes College Cue and Curtain production of John Osborne's "Look Back in Anger" opened Wednesday at Chase Theater. The play will run through Saturday. Osborne's hero, Jimmy Porter, represents the "angry young man" who can find no outlet for his sensitivity and intensity in the valueless world of the twentieth century. Sumner Hayward performs the difficult role of Jimmy with the rare combination of "sensitivity and guts" that the part calls for. He establishes the enigmatic quali- ty of Jimmy's character quickly and effectively in the first act, and he sustains the intensity of the character throughout. He manages to create a Jimmy who is less a symbol of frustration than an honestly frustrated human being. Hayward's performance is impressive; throughout the play he is always genuine, always moving. Sieglinde Vallot, as Jimmy's wife Alison, does a fine job of conveying the impression of passiveness. She is more than adequate in a difficult role that could easily be overshadowed by the stronger character of Jimmy. Martin Brennan is smooth, easy, and professional in the role of Jimmy's friend Cliff. Beverly Hanko, in her first college performance, plays Helena with skill and poise. Marc Hirschman, as Alison's father , turns in a fine performance. As fine as the individual performances are, i n d i v i d u a l performances do not make a play. The effectiveness of the play and of the acting is, to a great extent, due to the director, David Fendrick, who deserves credit for a fin e production of a fine play. The set, designed by Ed Lupinski, is effective, and the lighting, by Walt Dexter, is used with a great deal of skill. Letter to the FAfitor . . • sTuoENT sKETca Dear Fellow Bookborrowers: I, as you, have borrowed books from OUR library many time. In fact, I've made a time study of borrowing a book. It goes as follows: After finally finding the book you want on the bottom shelf of the row (sic), back in the corner of the room next to the ladies' rest room, you proceed downstairs to the main floor of the library. Now comes the most important part. As you reach the bottom step, look at your watch. It will take you 4.85 seconds to walk to the library desk. In another 2.6 seconds, you'll have dug down into your pocket or purse, depending on whether or not you are a male or female. There is a difference you know, and if you don't you'd better find out fast! (This is important to know for it would be quite embarrassing to reach into your purse, if you were a boy. Then you're all set. In another 7.1 seconds your book is stamped out to you, and you have the satisfaction of knowing that you conformed with library regulations. A total of 14.55 seconds were expended. What else could you have done in that time and get such a good feeling? Come-on-now, you're not that fast. Seriously, let's abide by library regulations. They actually do work for your own good. Gerald Moffatt Library Adds 'History Of Wine,' Biography, 'Emerson' to Collection Augmenting the number of volumes on the New Book Shelf in the library, the College recently added Academic Procession, Emerson, and A History of Wine. In the first of these Dr. Henry W. Wriston, a past president of both Lawrence College and of Brown University, reflects on his long and distinguished career. The much discussed but little understood profession of president of an American college or university involves a combination of skills of a scholar, teacher, business manager, fund raiser, and politician. From Academic Procession emerge the courage and spirit of one man who made it his life's work to meet the challenges of such a profession. Dr. Wriston sums up the rewards and trials of a college presidency in the following order: "The opportunities so outweight the heartbreaks that to evade the responsibility would be folly." Ralph Waldo Emerson's "clear and pure voice" appealed greatly to his own and succeeding generations. Emerson, a collection of critical essays on this author, measures his influence on American thought in the twentieth century. It also reveals Emerson's own mind - his biblical view of Man, his indomitable humanism, his strange charm, and his spiritual uniqueness. A preview of the collection includes Robert Frost, "On Emerson;" William James, "Address at the Emerson Centenary in Concord;" and F. 0. Matthiessen, "A Few Herbs and Apples." On an excursion through the German Major Plans To Teach; Wilk Mainlains Diary for 'Novel' Idea by Alis Pucilowski Beneath that unassuming and seemingly quiet exterior of Edward John Wilk beats the heart of a true Buddhist: "Hard work is a poor substitute for genius, so I want to lead a good life to be reincarnated as a genius."

A member of the Art Club, the German Club, and the Wyoming Valley Oratorio Society, he student taught last semester at G.A.R. Commenting on this experience, he smiled, "All I can say is you can't describe it unless you've tried it."

He is also content with the fact that there are "few phony, time-worn, useless traditions at Wilkes." When asked if he had any negative views on the College, Wilk said, "In general, there is too much conservatism and too much mediocrity on campus." He likes to read Shakespeare and such classical writers as Homer, Aristophanes, and Virgil. In the field of music, he enjoys Bach and dislikes rock and r oll intensely. Mark Twain is one of his favorite authors aside from the classics; "trashy novelists like Peter De Vries" lead his black list. His future includes teaching, and he has decided to dedicate his teaching career to the preservation of the "th" sound in the English language.

Well, at least the donkeys wore tails! The "affair" was the second annual donkey basketball game sponsored by the Junior Class. If you really want to call it basketball, that's your problem. But what this writer saw was a combination of professional wrestling and the casting for a Twenty Mule Team Borax commercial. Groh Plans Revival Of Cast's 'Music Man' Via Films and Tapes For many students who did not have the opportunity to witness Cue 'n' Curtain's excellent presentation of "Music Man" last fall and for those who would like to see it again, plans are now being made to show films and perhaps to run tapes of the production. These color films were taken by Gordon Rober ts, Executive Alumni Secretary, at ·successive rehearsals, and the tapes were made by Charles and Mary Music Store. Both are approximately two hours long. Although the plans for the films are not yet definite, Alfred Groh, who directed "Music Man," feels that Tuesday night, March 26, would be an ideal date. This would be after Cue 'n' Curtain's present production of "Look Back in Anger" when it would be possible to show them eithe1· in Chase Theater or on the second floor of the cafeteria. This will not be the first time the films are to be shown. They have already been run once before for members of the rp'lay's cast and again shown at several alumni meetings.

Robert Frost; August 6, 1948; Bread Loaf Theatre." This inscription in one of her books is one of Miss Lord's prize possessions and commemorates one of the most memorable events of her life. She met the great poet while she was attending summer school at the Bread Loaf School of English, at Middlebury College in Vermont. Mr. Frost, one of the founders of the English school, lived on a farm just down the road and often read poetry as a guest lecturer at the college.

K. Chesterton, the donkey will once again have his "fierce and sweet hour" tonight in the gym. The Faculty Flashes will boost each other aboard the beasts and charge briskly (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) onto the basketball court to meet fourteen similarly situated undergraduates. H-hour of the contest is 8 o'clock. The hardy and presumably wellpadded men who have volunteered to ride under the banner of captain Harvey Rosen's burro-mounted team are Al Gilbert, Jerry Berk, Jim Walters, John Adams, Erwin Guetig, Pete Winebrake, Jerry Mohn, Bob Fleming, Bill Meneley, Jeff Gallet, Mike Schwefel, Stu Lawson, and Lou Zampetti. Instructors who have volunteered for Dean George Ralston's Faculty Flashes include John Whitby, Roland Schmidt, Mike Goobic, Girard Gaughn, Dr. Alan Brouch, and Younsu Koo. The Faculty Flashes will draw moral support from a squad of cheerleaders composed of girls from the administration offices. After the · visitors have received their accolades and the vanquished have slunk off, tails between their legs, there will be a record hop to which all, even the losers, are invited. No admission will be charged. The Junior Class, which is sponsoring the annual event, has invited patients from Retreat to view the contest, and Circle K Club is treating twenty-five orphans from St. Stanislaus Orphanage to an evening out plus refreshments. Debaters Score in N.Y.; Win Six of Eight Rounds The debating team placed fifth in a novice tournament held last weekend at College of the City of New York. Competing in a field of twenty-three college and university teams, the College won six of eight rounds. Both affirmative and negative positions were upheld on the topic "Resolved: That the non-Communist Nations of the World Should Form an Economic Community." Affirmative team, consisting of Douglas Kistler and David Levy, defeated Hunter and New Platz Colleges and Temple University; they lost to Seton Hall. Negative side, composed of Rosemary Rush and James Tredinnick, won over Franklin and Marshall College, New York University, and St. John's of Hill Crest; they~ lost to C. W. Post. David Levy placed second best affirmative in the entire tournament and was only three points away from trophy. a Charlotte Lord and Dirk Budd accompanied the debate team to New York as coaches. , Annual Fund Campaign Reaches Quarter Mark; Students To Benefit Marc Hirschman, senior English major, and Joseph Salsburg, Beacan advisor, have important roles in the Jewish Community Center's forthcoming production of Middle of the Night. This contemporary drama by Paddy Chayefsky, which revolves arou nd th e plight of a middle-aged man in love with a young girl, is under the direction of Mr. Salsburg while Marc portrays the girl's husband. Frank Eisenstein and Arlene Rothstein play the leading roles in this modern "comedy" (as Chayefsky calls it) which will be presented tomorrow and Saturday nights at 8 :40 p.m. and Monday at 9:10 p.m. in Weiss Auditorium of the Center. Harris Tobias, another undergraduate, appeared in the JCC's first production, The Tenth Man, also by Chayefsky. According to Salsburg, who is also an instructor in mathematics at the College, possibilities for the next production, to be staged in May, are now being reviewed. STUDENT WEEKLY Wilkes-Barre, Penna. FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 1963 Physical Scientist lo Visit Campus; Lectures and Discussions on Agenda Stark Hall will be the site on Monday and Tuesday for the lectures of Professor Walter M. Elsasser, physical scientist, professor at the University of California and currently a visiting professor of geology at Princeton. Elsasser, under the auspices of the American Institute of Physics Teachers and the American Institute of Physics, will lecture Monday evening at 8:15 in Stark 116 on the "Interior of the Earth," and Tuesday at 11 a.m. on the "Earth's Magnetism." In another effort to stimulate interest in physics, he will also hold informal meetings with students as well as faculty members with whom he hopes to discuss the College's science curriculum Ed. Club to Take Trip., Teaching Forum in April and research problems. Although a definite time for these informal discussions has not yet been decided upon, the tentative schedule for that segment of the program will be Tuesday morning from 9-11. Further and final details can be obtained from Dr. Detweiler, physics professor. Elsasser was educated in Germany, worked at the Paris Radium Institute, and came to this country in 1936, when he began to concentrate on geophysics. His main interests lie in the transfer of thermal radiation in the atmosphere and in the analysis and theory of the earth's magnetic field. He later became interested in biophysics as well and, as a result, published a book, The Physical Foundation of Biology, in 1958. At present he is engaged in research along these lines. A member of the National Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of the American Physical Society, Professor Elsasser has also been honored as a Bowie Medalist by the American Geophysical Union. Supported by the N at ion a 1 Science Foundation, the program, now in .its sixth year, will be open to both community and College.

These words leaping out of the black and white print of a popular periodical caught my eye. After shocking me with this "startling" pronouncement, the author of the article, a noted psychologist, prescribed such remedies for this evil as joining clubs, doing volunteer work, reading (since he didn't specify anything particular I assumed Mad comics would do), bowling, painting, swimming, or archery. To conclude his article this "benefactor of mankind" pronounced the death sentence of our society "above all, keep busy." Keep busy - it's become almost a password of our times. Selfappointed doctors prescribe it all the time for evils ranging from juvenile delinquency to , adult depression. Yet Al Capone and Boss Tweed were both very busy men. Are they to be set up as our ideals? Society would have us believe that the only useful life is one filled with bustling activity. As a result we see people playing as hard as they work - sometimes requiring a week's time to recover from a so-called vacation. Pressured by our peers we rush around at our daily work and then knock ourselves out at night with the Boy Scouts, Kiwanis, Chamber of Commerce, the Society for the Prevention of the Extinction of the American Buffalo, or any of the many other worthwhile clubs we are told it is our duty and privilege to join. Large firms and even churches sponsor extra-curricular activities such as basket-weaving, finger-painting, softball, ch arm courses, sewing lessons, and a myriad of other relaxing pastimes to keep their employees busy and well-adjusted. But I question whether these activities are truly relaxing. I think we have taken the relaxing out of recreation. I can't remember the last time I picked up a magazine urging me to relax - to lie out in the back yard in a hammock and just dream lazily or to take a walk in the woods and commune with nature. Just try either one of these respites and you'll soon find yourself dragged back to reality by one of your conscientious neighbors who just couldn't bear to let you waste time like that. We run around in circles like socially oriented robots making all the right noises and motions and yet not really aware of what we are doing. It's about time some of us stepped off the merry-goround and decided in what direction we want to go. All this mad whirling leaves no time for soulsearching sessions when one can conclude what the basic issues of his life are and just what is important. Perhaps there will be no great literature, philosophy, or stimulating thought of any kind in the future if man is not permitted time for contemplation. The scions of our society would certainly protest if told that they are discouraging the future artists of our era but try as I may, I can't see any hope for great accomplishments. The potential Thoreaus of our time will be dragged back from their "Walden" and embroiled in Chamber of Commerce, Kiwanis, or Boy Scout work more fitted to their sensitive natures and a potential Wordsworth will be lured away from his "Tintern Abbey" with a "Stop looking at that old pile of greens in the dirty river, Bill, we need a fourth for bridge." �Friday, March 15, 1963 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 3 Final Basketball Statistics Released Wilkes-Barre Clinches 3rd Spot; According to recently-released statistics, Harvey Rosen once again led the Colonel cagers in a number of departments.

Anyone having a suggestion for a senior gift may contact Richard Ales or Pat Rossi. There are also suggestion boxes placed in the cafeteria and in Parrish Hall. A f ew suggestions which have already been made include folding arm chairs for finals in ·the gym, coat racks for classrooms, and individual mailboxes with keys for dorm students. At the next class meeting, the committee will present several suggestions from which seniors will select the gift. staff at the College. Dr. Edgerton has published four articles in scholarly journals: "The Apostasy of Nicholas Udall," "Shakespeare and the 'Needle's Eye'," "Nicholas Udall in the Indexes of Prohibited Books," and "The Calendar Year in Sixteenth Century Printing." Sometime this fall, he expects his first book, Nicholas Udall, a critical and analytical study of the first man to write British comedy, to be published. When asked about his wife's feelings concerning the upcoming events, Dr. Edgerton replied that she was "very excited." Commenting on his future plans, he said, "I plan to write more articles. The job I had as a reporter taug ht me to write rapidly. I hope to complete my second book, Shakespeare's Audience, in the next two years.

Sordoni. The Senator, a native of Nanticoke, has had an active career in local, state, and national affairs. He has served the nation well. A comment from the College's President. Dr. Farley, reflects the esteem with which all who have known the Senator regarded him. "Andrew Sordoni was a founder of Wilkes College and served on its Board and its committees from its founding in 1933 until his death in 1963. "During his thirty years of service on the Board he concerned himself with the material growth of the College and with the support of students through his scholarship grants. "He encouraged and supported every forward step, and by his wisdom and loyalty he sustained every effort that he believed would strengthen the College and the community. "The memory of his friendship and counsel will influence the future of the College as his direct participation has influenced its past growth." Maybe The Seniors Need Help Soon seniors will vote on a gift which they will present to the College to perpetuate their memory. Preceding classes have donated thoughtful. and often useful, gifts. This year's graduating class, though, may have difficulty deciding, since only a few suggestions have been submitted for consideration. If seniors cannot make a few worthwhile suggestions, perhaps underclassmen will drop a gift idea into one of the suggestion boxes on campus. • Fliers circulated to announce gift committee meetings brought a grand total of two interested seniors - the chairmen - to said meetings. Seniors did not attend the meetings; they failed to offer many suggestions. Yet no doubt they will scorn some of the ideas given them when they are to vote for the gift at their next class meeting. A little positive action now would eliminate negative submission later. - 'Nuf said.

First Methodist Church, North WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Dear Editor: The past f ew issues of the Beacon have carried a number of letters concerning the Honor Code; this Code has also been the topic of many discussions on campus. It is heartening to find that at least some of the students are interested in a subject which will affect each and every one of us at Wilkes. However, there seems to be a number of misguided theories concerning the Code which may confuse the issue: (1) To "Name Withheld Again" who alludes to the fact that students advocating an Honor Code are "people trusting only themselves and mistrusting their neighbor" may I say that you have the whole thing somewhat mixed up. Because we do trust in our neigh• hors as well as ourselves, we know the Honor Code can work. (2) "N.W.A." also states that "the faculty have nothing to say about how their examinations should be conducted." I refer you to Article II, Section II of the proposed Honor Code which states, "Conditions for tests and quizzes are subject to the individual's in. structor's discretion." (3) Mr. Bayo stated that "the basic prov1s1ons of all Honor Codes is that if one student notices that another student is cheating during an examination, it is his holy duty to report the cheating to the court of honor." This, Mr. Bayo, is certainly not the basic provision of any Honor Code. It is merely a means of checks and balances on a system which, like any other system, is not fool-proof. No one has stated that the proposed Honor Code will bring about a miracle and stop all cheating. This would be a ridiculous fallacy. ( 4) If it won't stop all cheating why waste our time changing the present system inquires Mr. Shemo. For this answer, I'll refer you to any student who has never attended a school with an Honor Code. It must be a wonderful fel. ing to be able to walk out of the room in the middle of an exam knowing that the instructor and your fellow students have Complete Confidence in your integrity. I don't believe that there are very many people who can confound another's trust in them. It may be easy to ignore a rule, but ignoring another's trust in you is another matter. The world has become so full of cynicism that words like trust, con• fidence, faith, and ideals seem to have lost their comforting meaning. It's a very frightening feeling to find yourself cringing in denial when someone calls you an idealist because you believe in something like an Honor Code. The word is snarled rather than spoken, and it seems to hold the same connotations as the plague. The cynic . . . writes a fashion column has become the hero of the hour.

The dorm students, after they finish lunch, are required to remove their trays and eating utensils from the tables so that other people may have a clean and decent area at which to sit. Now what do the "day-hops" do with their debris after they finish NOTHING ! Bags, waxpaper, saran wrap, ba• nana peels, cigarette butts in coke glasses, plates, apple cores, straws, etc., are strewn about table tops, revealing an unsightly (actually a sickening) mess upon which others may gaze. Consequently, the cafeteria workers must run around with a wash cloth and trash can cleaning up after us as if we were children. Don't we have enough facilities on campus without our adding a college dump? We, as Wilkes students, are paying to acquire knowledge; yet, it is fairl y obvious that we are still ignorant of fundamental learning, taught free of charge since we were youngsters. The impressions which this careless and disgusting habit leave are really detrimental to the esteem that others may hold of us. Not only students, but administrators, guests, prospective students and their parents frequent the "cafe" and is this what we want them to see? Our Commons is our eating place away from home. Is this the condition in which we find our home kitchen? I believe that I would be fairly well justified in saying "NO." Something must be done and done immediately. Perhaps if the "cafe" were supplied with waste cans or if an appropriate area were designated for depositing our garbage, this might alleviate the situation some• what. Whatever the case, it is time for us, as day students, to in• stigate action. If you do not think this a serious problem, just walk through the "cafe" during the school hours; any of the table tops will exemplify my point, or better still, try eating at a table surrounded by someone else's garbage and then see if your attitude has not changed. Name Withheld * .,..,. Dear Editor: Now that wrestling season is over I feel it is time to give recognition to the person who has made this sport a success at Wilkes. Coach Reese, an outstanding wi·estler himself, has devoted an enormous amount of work and time to make wi·estling a better sport at Wilkes. This year's team, made up mostly of underclassmen and four freshmen (sic) didn't have the out• standing record as did teams of previous years. This was due most• ly to inexperience and depth of the team. I am sure that with a little extra effort on the team's part, next year's record will indicate a marked improvement. Mr. Reese has given our team a desire to win and a unity which few other teams possess. As one teammate remarked to me recently, "It seems I can't lose when that guy shakes my hand and sends me out to wrestle; it sends goosebumps up your spine." Coach Reese is looked up to and respected by every member of our team be• cause he is what he expects us to be. Mr. Reese is humble, quiet, understanding and a good sport. He is a modest winner and a grace• ful loser. Coach Reese is responsibl~ for the close relationship of the team members. We are almost like brothers, each pulling for the other. These are the reasons why Wilkes has' a good wrestling team and will continue to in the future. This letter expresses the feelings of our entire team who are grateful for what this great man has done and the influence he has made on us in and out of school.

The contest was close all the way as Wilkes-Barre managed to secure a two-point advantage in the first period and then played an even second period to take a slim 65-63 halftime lead. In the third period, the Barons managed to gain 35 points to Scranton's 34. Howie Montgomery and Bob Keller then teamed up in the final round scoring 10 and 11 points respectively, to give Wilkes-Barre the decision. The fans had a chance to see a former Baron, Bill Spivey, in action as the big man dominated the rebounding for the evening. For the Barons, Bob Keller produced 38 tallies to lead both teams in scoring, while Spivey deposited 29 for Scranton to lead his team in that category also. Bob Keller and Ted Luckenbill were named to the second team of the Eastern League's all star selections. K e 11 e r has been the Baron's handyman and playmaker this season and leads the team in the point production department. Luckenbill has been a welcome addition to the Barons providing the attack with punch and giving body to the team.

For the first time in many years the Wilkesmen failed to gain a single individual title. West Chester State College garnered team honors as they scored a total of 74 points while Wilkes finished in sixth place with 21. In front of the Colonels were Temple with 45, Lycoming with 43, Drexel with 35, and Hofstra with 33. Last year the Reesemen finished in a fourth- place tie with Hofstra, each team gathering 37 markers. Also last year, Wilkes' Ted ToJuba won the 167-pound title and was named Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament by virtue of his gaining four falls over his oppoents. John Gardner came off with the 147-pound championship last year also. Last weekend, Gardner could do no better than gain third place in the 167-pound division which nevertheless was the highest position gained by a Wilkes grappler at the tourney. Captain Bob Herman took fourth place in the heavyweight division.

The Barons remain in third place behind second place Allentown and league leading Camden. Allentown dumped Trenton by a walloping 1 6 2 - 1 2 0 blockbuster, while Trenton turned around to hand Camden a setback on the following night.

Prior to his graduation in January, Fendrick was active both as student director and actor in many productions of the theater, and upon graduation, was afforded an unusual opportunity to remain as a member of the English department and director in Cue and Curtain. Fendrick had the following comment to make concerning his new appointment. "Originally, I had intended to enter drama school on the graduate level; however when I was afforded the opportunity to do some student teaching here at Wilkes, I felt it would be highly desirable to postpone my graduate study until I had taken advantage of this experience." Look Back in Anger, the play which Fendrick has personally selected as his initial directing endeavor, presents, because of its unusual text, a challenge both to the director and the cast.

By refusing to limit yourself to a narrow range of interests you will find that your life will be richer and more meaningful." This challenge expresses the basis of Romellc Gomba's numerous activities both on and off campus. Romelle illustrates very well her belief that we should obey our impul ses ; she spent one day as a biology major, then switched to art education. Now she is a student teacher of art in Kingston High School; she will spend four weeks working with this age group, then another four weeks in local elementary schools. In between these four years, however, she has squeezed in an amazing number of activities. She has been secretary of the Art Club for the past three years, was secretary and treasurer of Cue and Curtain last year, and costume chairman for two years; and was in the Women's Chorus for two years. Romelle is also an active member of the Wyoming Valley Art League and of the Little Theatre of WilkesBarre. Her association with these organizations has enabled her to meet many outstanding personalities in Wyoming Valley and to learn a great deal about makeup, lighting, and stagecraft. But just as she believes that we should partake of many varied activities and round out our personalities thereby, she does not confine her interest to art. She is registrar and lap-recorder at the Cliffside Driving Park, where fans of model electric racing cars congregate. Exhibiting their interest in sports cars, she and Jan Pethick, her fiance and fellow art major, worked as communications personnel at the Giants Despair Hill Climb last summer. Next summer the couple will be experimenting with skin-diving and possibly scuba, a self-contained underwater breathing apparatus. Jan is interested in marine biology and, if their experimenting proves fruitful, they may even buy a small sloop to study marine biology. With this in mind, Romelle tried on her first wet-suit last Saturday in New York City, where they bought equipment. Among her other enterprises, she and Jan, with several other students, are planning to open a coffee house in Wilkes-Barre where they hope to create an intellectual atmosphere for discussions and seminars and to offer art works for sale. Reading is Romelle's favorite hobby. She reads avidly in whatever field she happens to be interested in at the time. This includes sport cars, skin-diving, science fietion, old German tales, and plays. In addition, she designs and makes over three-quarters of her wardrobe and takes great pride in being able to fit clothes to her own purposes and personality. Furthermore, she finds copper enameling "very exciting" - a field she would like to study further - and makes jewelry and utensils to sell both at art fairs and to individuals. By DR. HUGO V. MAILEY, Chairman of Political Science Dept. Ed. Note--Although Dr. Mailey wrote the following article for the November 22 issue of the "West Side News," the "Beacon" stalJ feels that the analysis is still pertinent and may provide background for future outbreaks of the Mississippi type. The time when virtually everyone went wrong in assessing the situation which developed in the effort to enroll the first Negro at the University of Mississippi was the beginning, when it was assumed that this Deep Southern state and its Governor would be no different from Tennessee, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, Louisiana, and other states which have grudingly capitulated to limited desegragation since 1954. Here, as in no other Southern state, the extremists and the apostles of last-ditch defiance seized control almost from the moment of the Supreme Court decision and never relinquished it. It was here the Citizens Councils were born, only months after the 1954 ruling. In less than a year they had enough political and psychological power to make open opposition to their doctrines political suicide; by the time Gov. Barnett was elected in 1959 as the unabashed front man, they had a stranglehold on the state. There are very few liberal whites in Mississippi. There are fewer outright integrationists. That vocal handful who, for want of a better term, are labeled moderates were isolated by the council almost from the beginning. Mississippi is a state of small towns and cities, with its capital, Jackson, a city of 150,000 people -three times the size of the next largest community. Thus, there was no Atlanta, or New Orleans, or Dallas, or Nashville in which dissident whites could find any sizable group of sympathizers.. Economic pressure was an elficient, if unspectacular, tool of the Council and its unceasing propaganda elfort was more than sulficient to counter the voices of reason. \Vith a few notable exceptions, Mississippi by 1959 had the appearance of monolithic solidarity. A suggestion of the answers to questions that arise about the behavior of students was given by the students two years ago, when a questionnaire was conducted among the student body called the College Characteristic Index. This Index has been administered at 80 colleges and universities around the country. The major bar to even partial acceptance of Meredith is the absence of any tradition of dissent on the campus or any rallying point of liberal thought. Mississippi students placed a high value on possessions, status, and the material benefits of higher education. To some extent Ole Miss is seen as a club. This is likely to make Meredith's task even more dilficult. Things are done together instead of privately. In the segment of the Index measuring propriety, consideration, and caution, the University scored low, despite what might be called a "surface mannerliness." Although Mississippi students rank above the national average in the results of college entrance tests, the Index showed they had little interest in scholarly pursuits or academic discipline once they arrived on campus. Nor does the University demand this of them. The students also scored low in the element of the Index dealing with esthetic sensitivity, idealism, involvement in the world's problems, and self-analysis. The University has no active debating society, and no literary or humorous publications that might provide a vehicle for thoughtful or satirical writings on, among other topics, the racial issue. The student newspaper, which is issued four times weekly, compares unfavorably with those of other colleges of smaller size. In recent years its editors have been subject to harassment by the State Legislature for asserted manifestation of liberal views. The campus bookstore, one of several enterprises run as a concession for the benefit of the Athletic Association, limits itself to required texts at list price. A separate shop in an out-of-the-way spot on the second floor of the Student Union Building offers a small selection of paperbacks. No magazine of even average quality is available on the campus, and few are sold in Oxford. In fact the cultural life of the City is as barren as that of the University appears to be. Thus, the School remains largely as it has been, one for the middle and upper classes, for posting "gentlemen's C's," making "contacts" and finding a suitable wife or husband. One of the more thought-provoking aspects of the news that came out of Oxford before and during James Meredith's registration at the University of Mississippi, was the reported attitude of the faculty toward the crisis on its campus. According to at least two widely printed newspaper stories written shortly after Meredith's registration, not one faculty member at the University of Mississippi spoke out endorsing integration or advocating compliance with the Federal Court order to admit Meredith either before or during the violence that accompanied his registration. The local chapter of the American Association of University Professors did issue a belated statement defending the conduct of U.S. marshals in their execution of orders. That an entire 200-man faculty of a respected state University should have found it wise, expedient, or necessary to maintain silence in a situation intimately and violently alJecting its own campus, its own students, and the whole structure of constitutional government in its state, is both curious and disturbing. It is impossible to believe that all of these men, educated in a variety of disciplines, could have been indilferent to the struggle going on in front of their olfice doors. One wonders about student interpretation of the faculty silence. I have often wondered what is being taught in the social sciences. Just what does the Political Science Department at the University of Mississippi teach in such courses as Constitutional Law, American Government, and related courses? ++++++++++++++++++++++++ l + ; + JoRDAN s I l + l + ; MEN'S FURNISHINGS ; ; and HA TS of QUALITY ; + + :l: + r-t. ; 1871 The Narrowa :l: Shopping Center + ; ua ❖❖❖❖ ++++++++++++++++++++ ...

This antenna will enable the club to contact stations at a greater distance than it has been able to do previously, because of its power to improve receiving and transmitting.

This is associated with local communication, including Luzerne County and northeastern Pennsylvania in their Civil Defense program.

The Chief Executive, in his intense desire to achieve his aims, went so far as to say he would even accept a tax cut without reform. In an attempt to capture the general feeling of John Q. Public, toward this current event issue, the Beacon took an on-the-spot poll of several students. Question: What is your opinion of President Kennedy's proposed tax -· cut - tax revision program? Joseph Barnard, Business Education Major: "I think it is ridiculous. Taxes are going to continually rise with the constant upcost of our economy. If they remove them from one area they will raise them in another." Roger Opdahl, Field Representative for the LMC: "I think unquestionably a tax reform is due long overdue, in fact. Any major change in fiscal policy at this time should include a reform bill in the direction he has advocated. However, to say as he does that he will accept a tax cut without tax reform is in effect to put his stamp of approval on a tax cut without reform." P a t r i c i a Ropetski, Elementary Education Major: "In my opinion, in order for our country to expand economically I think that a tax cut is necessary. It will put more ca~ital into the hands of the pubhc. But whether or not it will produce desirable results is more than I can foresee. It could serve as a stimulus toward avoiding a reces- FRIDAY, MARCH I, 1963 IDC Proposes Revised Medical Plan A proposal on colonialism was the highlight of the college CCUN delegation's achievements at .the 1963 Mid-Atlantic Model Assembly at Washington, D.C.

Hank Butler, Secondary Education Social Studies Major: "I believe that his tax cut proposal is a political move. With the national debt as large as it is, we cannot afford a tax cut. Although taxes will be cut in one area, exemptions will be done away with in other areas. This shows that it is not really a 'tax cut'."

The old receiver is being converted so that it can be used to receive VHF and can work hand-in-hand with the transmitter. 'Manuscript' Sets Date For Contributions "To all frustrated student writers -we offer you what may be your only chance to appear in print." This is the invitation offered by the Manuscript Society in their search for creative works for their annual literary publication. In announcing an April 1 deadline for contributions, Harris Tobias, editor, urges that all interested "authors" submit their creative writings to Manuscript as soon as possible via either the box in the library or individual editorial staff members. The society will accept all types of compositions - short stories, sketches, reviews, poetry, fables, essays - for review by society members, who decide what works will be published. To sharpen their critical processes for this project, Manuscript members have been practicing in bi-weekly workshops in which they critically review poetry and prose submitted by s t u d e n t writers. These workshops which are held in the Manuscript office, Conyngham 209, are open to the s~udent body. Film To Be Shown "Opera such as has never been seen before" - In these words critics describe the film, A Night At The Opera, which will be shown by the Manuscript Society tonight in In response to numerous complaints of dormitory s t u d en t s brought before them concerning the present medical program at the College, the Inter-Dormitory Council has been laying the groundwork for an improved medical program since the beginning of the fall semester. To ascertain the exact deficiencies noted by the dormitory students in the present program, IDC conducted a survey under the chairmanship of Arlene Siano. Each resident student was asked to complete a "Dormitory Medical Insurance Questionnaire." Of the 203 students who returned the questionnaires, 26.9 per cent reported that they had taken advantage of the insurance a total of 87 times, 85 students protested that a College doctor would not visit a dormitory to administer to a sick student, and 92 students objected to compulsory insurance. In reviewing the questionnaires, IDC found that most of the dormitory students would be in favor of a program which would include an insurance policy with a five dollar deductible clause rather than the present ten dollar one, twelve month coverage, an infirmary on campus, and, possibly, flu innoculations for the entire student body at a reduced cost. To determine the feasibility of such a plan, IDC reviewed the programs of several insurance companies and discussed these programs with representatives of the companies. As a result of the survey and these discussions Jerry Berk, president of the IDC, feels that there is a need for a new program of medical care and that that need can be satisfied. A committee of IDC members has been appointed to acquaint the administration with the deficiencies of the present program and to propose changes which would meet both the administration's approval and the needs of the students. Mr. George Elliot, the group's advisor, assisted in composing the questionnaire. Stark 116. In this comic classic, the Marx Brothers, with the help of Kitty Carlisle and Allan Jones, romp through a satire on the pomp and pompousness surrounding grand opera.

Coffee and cookies will be served during intermission at both the 7 p.m. and 9 :30 p.m. showings. German Depl. Plans Mozarl Opera After studying grammar and translations, German students of Herr Disque . and Dr. Frijters will be given the opportunity to test their knowledge. A German translation of Mozart's opera "The Marriage of Figaro" will be shown in Stark 116 on Monday, March 4, from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m. and Tuesday, March 5, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The main characters of the opera are Figaro, a valet; Susanna, a maid; Count Almaviva, who tries to take Susanna from Figaro; and Cherubino, page to Countess Alma- viva. The plot centers around a love triangle between Figaro, Susanna, and Count Almaviva. The Count tries to claim Susanna on her wedding night, according to an old feudal custom, forcing Susanna and Figaro to resort to trickery and evasiveness to win out over the Count. The play from which the opera was derived was written primarily to ridicule the upper class of society and its privileges. This is evident throughout the opera as the Count repeatedly tries to exercise his feudal rights over Susanna. �2 Wil.KES COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIALS- Possibility of An Error You know, the campus newspaper is really a sad sight. News coverage is "slanted". There aren't enough pictures. In addition to printing unimaginatively-written stories, the paper has some paragraphs that don't even make sense. Where are the copy readers who are supposed to correct mistakes and to make certain that vital information - like my name, for instance - isn't omitted from a story? If these bits of constructive criticism sound vaguely familiar, let it be known that thus they were intended, for they have been gleaned from you. Little did you realize, men and women of the campus, that those passing remarks made to a sympathetic listener were overheard - and were recorded by various and sundry members of the 'Beacon' staff. In rebuttal we shrug, "Sorry, we goofed again." But before anyone should surmise that the staff is complacent with published errors, let it further be known that there is a phenomenon known as the typographical error. Many most - are detected and corrected. Some slip by the editorial pencil. We will do our best, as we have in the past, to report news as accurately as possible. We ask only one thing of our readers: please remember that we are human. Proof of An Error When the Dean's list was announced last week, three names were inadvertently omitted: Patricia Brady 3.40, Marshall Brooks 3.28, Barbara Buckman 3.31. The Beacon apologizes for the oversight. Scrutiny of last week's story would show that the error was not merely one of oversight, though. Names were not left out. Rather, a sentence or two was lost in the mechanical process of setting type. Mistakes can be detected when stories are proofread. After these stories have been set and are ready to go to press, it would be difficult - almost impossible - to discover errors or omitted lines. Again, apologies to the omitted few and congratulations to all whose scholastic averages merit Dean's List recognition. What - Where - When Student Critic Praises Hayes-Evans Roles; Observes Minor Flaws Friday, March 1. 1963 Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: Collegiate life has two components, the curriculum a n d the extracurriculum. My attitude has long been that both components are vital in education and that every student and every faculty member should have a part in both sides of campus life. The majority of my colleagues, I believe, share this attitude to some degree. I also believe, contrary to the opinion expressed in the letter concerning invitations, that the faculty, percentage-wise, have a better record of attending extracurricular functions than do the students. In an age when social amenities are being jettisoned to windward and leeward, the effect of which is all too apparent in the social behavior of today's students, the writing of invitations to a few affairs each year is almost the only formal etiquette exhibited by the students with reference to the faculty. If the sending of invitations by the students is nothing more than an exercise in penmanship and does not express a sincere wish of the students to share the pleasure of an affair with the faculty, I shall certainly not be insulted if none is sent to me. The longer a person is on the faculty of Wilkes College the more he becomes involved in activities in the community, many of which are off campus. The life of the college is enriched because the faculty do live ~onstructive lives in addition to being scholars. Some of the ..younger members have children. · · Some are doing research. Thus in many instances the faculty members do have previous engagements and thus cannot accept invitations to attend student functions. The more important question the students should ask is this: if a member of the faculty does accept an invitation, say to a tie dance ( one at which the boys wear ties and the girls wear skirts), what is to be. done with : the faculty member when he is present? I shall not suggest an answer in this letter, however, many students know what has happened in the past. Too frequently, what has happened in the past has not been conducive to making a faculty member wish to attend again. To those students who have been by Dee Amir For an actor to assume any single role convincingly is a difficult task. To assume many in one performance and change from one to the other in a moment is a feat that can be handled only be experts. In A Program for Two Players presented by the University of Scranton on February 23, Helen Hayes and Maurice Evans took on the task of assuming several roles in a program consisting of scenes_from Shakespeare's plays. The degree of success which the actors achieved in their many roles varied. In general, the high points of the program occurred in scenes from the comedies. In a scene from As You Like It between Rosalind and Orlando, Miss Hayes convincingly assumed the attitude of a young girl disguised as a boy. Then, as the boy imitating a girl, she looked correctly affected and comical. Mr. Evans did not achieve the same degree of credibility in this scene. He never lost the years that a man of his age must to successfully portray the would-be lover of Rosalind. In fact, he failed to achieve the required youth in a scene from Hamlet, too. The high point of Mr. Evan's performance came in a reading of the clowns' rehearsal scene from A Midsummer Night's Dream. Sitting with book in hand, using only his voice in several different ranges to speak the lines of all the characters, Mr. Evans managed to execute rapid character transition and a delightfully comic effect in scene that is always enjoyable. Ending the program with a scene from The Taming of the Shrew seemed, for the moment, to negate any previous shortcomings of the performance. Miss Hayes began her characterization as a coarse and comic Kate. With ·shrewish grunts in her· voice and wide, unrefined gestures of her body she was refreshingly impish. Mr. Evans · as Petruchio . seemed as though he pulled the strings of a puppet with his sharply delivered demands of Kate until she became almost submissive and he seemed the conquering hero. With Shakespeare as a source and Miss Hayes and Mr. Evans as the· artists how wrong· could this STUDENT SKETCH program go?

Sincerely, Charles Reif Dear Editor: It looks as if we are getting back to the old proverbial problem the College parking situation. It wouldn't be natural not to have about one letter to the Beacon editor each semester on the issue. So to be consistent, I want to put a little more pepper in the pudding. I'm not playing ignorant to the fact that the College administration is aware of the plight and that they are doing all they can to alleviate the situation (so they say). Last semester it looked as if they were trying to do something for the students by not tagging cars that were "illegally" parked in the Parrish lot. All of a sudden with the change of semest.e rs, those little yellow tags began appearing all over the place. Rumor has it one of the members of the -administration had occasion to vil:,it Parrish - one .. day, and wanted to park in the lot. Unable to find a spot himself, he must have thought ari · orderly parking lot would be in the best interests of the College - thus a recommendation to clamp down upon violators. Personally I cannot see any reason why cars are not allowed to be parked in such an askew manner as long as the keys are left in them. I'm sure any of the College's worthy alumni and benefactors, as well as the honorable citizens of the community, who witnessed such a parking situation would be quite sympathetic, and who knows, might even make possible another parking lot. Then again, the clamping down on illegal parking may mean the College needs added income to cover those ever-increasing expenses. This, I doubt. As an alumnus I want to be proud to think of this College as one for the students all the way. Contributions to the alumni fund could even be the evidence of such pride and apJ)l'eciatjon. As Paul Harvey . might say, "For what it's wort}l department." . _(Name withheld upon request) Senior Chem Major Finds Grave Job In Addition to Making Weed Killers A major in chemistry and a minor in gravedigging - it will be with this unique "degree" that Joe Rakshys will leave here in June.

As of press time, the Wilkesmen have compiled the unenviable record of a single victory and nineteen losses. Last season the Davismen bested Stroudsburg for one of their three victories.

Barons Split Series With Camden Bullets Last weekend the Wilkes-Barre Barons' winning streak was snapped at 9 straight victories by the league leading Camden Bullets, but not before the Barons had handed the Camden team an embarrassing 142-122 setback on Saturday night at the West Side Armory. Camden was after its seventh straight win. In Saturday's game, Camden was hampered by the absence of their big gun, Paul Arizin, who was forced to miss the game because of illness. Trailing, 29-20, at the end of the first period, the Barons called Howie Montgomery (evidently forgiven for his absence in the last two outings) into the game along with Sherman White, injecting some spark into the Barons. Wilkes-Barre took a slight 55-53 halftime advantage. In addition to being without Paul Arizin, Camden lost Russ Gorden when Gorden was ejected after some disagreement with the Barons' Ted Luckenbill. Gorden was high scorer for the Bullets when he left. Wilkes-Barre's Jumping Jack Jackson continued to delight Baron fans with his dunkers and Leroy Wright and Sherm White also turned in outstanding performances, while Bob Keller was high man for both squads with 36 tallies. For Camden Bob McNeil was leading scorer with 29, while Dick Gaines pushed through 28 points. At Camden on Sunday night, however, the Bullets obtained and kept their home win streak of 10 games alive by turning the tables on the Barons to the tune of a 11798 victory over Wilkes-Barre. Paul Arizin made an eleven point showing for Camden with Herbie White and Hal Lear running wild in the Today and tomorrow the Colonel mat squad will invade the Hofstra campus in hopes of regaining their M.A.C. wrestling crown.

Written by John Osborne, one of the writers of the school of "angry young men," the play will be presented in Chase Theatre March 20, 21, 22, and 23. Curtain time is 8:30, and the play will run approximately two hours. Look Back in Anger concerns itself with the loss of values in the twentieth century. It is the story of a conflict between James Porter and his wife, Allison. Fendrick has described it as "the futility of any strong attempt to overthrow the apathy of our age." The cast includes Sieglinde Val-~---,------- - - - - - lot, Sumner Hayward, Ruth Friedlander, and Martin Brennan. Fendrick has also announced that there is a part which has not yet been cast, that of Col. Redferm, who is an older man and an ex-colonial Mademoiselle has announced the officer.

Shades of blue provided an ideal natural habitat for the two large lovebirds which provided the basis for other decorations. The foot path and wishing well were used by many couples as background for souvenir photographs. The highlight of the evening activities was the crowning of Dolores Chickanosky, a sophomore education major, as Valentine Queen by Barbara Piledggi, president of T.D.R. Music for dancing was provided by Tommy Donlin's orchestra. Dr. and Mrs. Reif were chaperones for the affair. FOR HAMPTON TRIP WILKES COLLEGE Vol XXVII, No. 16 REGISTER NOW Forum Offers Variety Of Topics; Open to All Every Tuesday Evening A philosophical discussion by Mary Ruth Kleingennah will be the featured topic at this Tuesday's Forum. Originally planned as an interest group for English majors, the group has expanded and is now open to everyone on campus. The topics, which cover a wide range, are of the student speakers' own choice and therefore are of general interest to the typical college student. Topics thus far this semester have ranged from symbolism to modern dancing. Joseph Aulisi, as the first speaker for the second semester, discussed "Symbolism in Moby Dick," showing how the white whale represented evil, as well as its significance and various relationships to Captain Ahab, Ishmael, and other characters in the novel. A new tempo was introduced at a later meeting when Jody Morrison spoke about "Modern Dance." Miss Morrison explained various techniques of modern dancing and showed several ways in which this informal type of dance differs from other forms. Last Tuesday the atmosphere returned to one of a more serious nature when Barbara Smith discussed progressive education. Her speech exposed some newer theories of education, showing advantages and disadavantages of both old and new teaching systems.

Reservations Accepted As IDC Plans Hampton Trip Maryann Wilson She, as well as other members across the nation, was selected on the basis of entries that showed her interest and ability in one of the fields comprising the annual Board competition - art, writing, fashion, merchandising, promotion, or advertising. In an annual exchange program with Hampton Institute, the College will send a car caravan to Virginia in approximately two weeks. From a list of students desiring to make the trip a committee will select those who will spend the weekend on Hampton's campus. IDC, who sponsors the exchange program, has placed a sheet on the Commons bulletin board whereon those wishing to travel to Hampton may sign. After the signature they must state whether or not they are willing to drive. Selecting the representatives will be a committee of six: Dean Ralston, Dean Ahlborn, Mr. Elliot, Boyd Aebli, James Walters, and Karen Graham.

Future of 'Twin Cities' To Be Assessed by Panel FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1963 Open Seminars Encourage Discussion On Honor Code; Outline Presented The tenets of the Honor Code were discussed at a seminar which was held last Tuesday evening in the Commons. Students expressed opinions both for and against the establishment of honorable conduct on campus. The Honor Code Committee, which is composed of students who have initiated the idea of such a system on campus and those who are not in favor of the code, presented a tentative outline for the system. Revisions of the code were proposed by the members attending the seminar. All suggestions were considered and discussed. Ideas were brought forth that had been developed in other colleges - - - - - - - - - -- -- - and universities. Basic philosophy Scranton Ballet Guild Gives Varied Program A variety of dance styles and moods were presented to the student body by the Scranton Ballet Guild during yesterday's assembly program. In addition, William Barbini, accompanied by Thomas Hrynkiw, entertained with several violin solos. The Scranton Ballet Guild is a non-profit civic organization composed of residents of the city, which has as its goals the elevating of artistic standards in the city and giving young talented dancers a chance .to learn and perform. Most of the members are students who have given up their spare time to study the dance under Alexi Ramov. Alexi Ramov, artistic director, who was an early member of Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, is also known throughout the country as a "promoter of the arts." He is one of the originators of the Northeastern Regional Ballet Festival Association and at the present time serves on the board of directors. . William Barbini, solo violinist with the guild, is a sophomore at Central High School. He has won both divisional and state competitions. At the present time, he is a member of both the Scranton and Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic Societies. The program included excerpts from Chopin, Bach and Gershwin. Musicians Vie for Prizes Lycoming College will sponsor an Intercollegiate Musical Competition on May 9 and 10, at Brandon Park in Williamsport. Any student jazz, rock and roll, or vocal group whose members are presently enrolled in a college or university and are taking a minimum of three credit hours, may apply. Groups using members which have been graduated within the past year will be permitted. Judges will include representatives of Capitol Records, Inc., Penn World Attractions, and several others to be announced at a later date. Prizes will consist of $950 in cash, trophies, and other noncash items, including a $500 Grand Prize. This competition provides the opportunity for a college group to become recognized. Applications and information may be obtained from the director of student activities or by writing to IMC, Box 35, Lycoming . College, Williamsport. More detailed information is also available at the Beacon office. Deadline for application will be March 15, 1963. GUITARIST TO BE FEATURED The Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic Orchestra will present a program of music on Monday, February 25 at the Irem Temple. Featured will be Renata Tarrago, guitarist from Spain. The concert will begin at 8:30 p.m. as well as concrete and specific factors were investigated. The participants in the seminar presented their own views of the topic. The purpose of the seminars at the present time is to bring forth all ideas and provide an opportunity for the student body to formulate .their opinions concerning the establishment of the Honor Code at the College. The discussion is open to all parties. The Committee is making arrangements for other seminars to be held in the near future. Art Club Sponsors Trip To Visit DaVinci Painting After having enchanted millions of Europeans in the past several centuries, the famous lady has now brought her enigmatic smile to a world virtually unknown when she was born. She will attract another coterie · of admirers when a group of students from the College journeys to New York on Saturday, March 2, to visit "Mona Lisa" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Although the Art Club is sponsoring the trip, any student is welcome. Students will be on their own as soon as they reach New York so that those who prefer to do so may go Easter shopping instead of viewing the Museum's art treasures. The bus will leave Wilkes-Barre at 6 a.m. and begin its return from "The City" at midnight. Fee for the entire trip is $5.00, which must be paid by next Wednesday. Anyone desiring to go should sign up on the bulletin board in Conyngham Annex. A deposit fee of a dollar is required in advance. Masked Marvel returns to gorge himself at Cherry Tree Chop.

A work such as Richard Wright's Native Son may be a new adventure for those who have never read it and even those who might find a rereading valuable. It also makes good outside reading for sociology majors. Richard Wright, whose works read like an anthology of the American Negro, finds all the hates, fears, and hopes of his people in Bigger Thomas, the protagonist of Native Son. Bigger lives in the miserable colored section of Chicago around the early thirties. It is not by accident that the author shared the same circumstances. Bigger's attitudes toward white people are characteristic of the downtrodden Negro. He is so depressed by his environment, that he feels he will soon be driven to kill. His initiation into white society and the realization of this obsession all add up to his self. destruction, which is helpless to avert. The structure of the novel is in three parts: Fear, Flight, and Fate. In this way the plot moves swiftly to its climax. Violent dialogue and action hold the reader's interest to the end. Native Son is a social document of high value. If you ever followed Huck Finn down the river, or walked with Holden Caulfield through his madcap episode in New York you will be equally moved by Bigger Thomas' tragic adventure in search of life.

Zaboronski TARAS BULBA or (POLISH HAM) One of the latest gems of cinematography to grace the screen of the Comerford Theater in WilkesBarre has been "Taras Bulba," starring Yul Brynner and a cast of thousands plus a few people (mostly A1·gentine soldiers). Actually the Argentine soldiers were supposed to be Cossacks, but they more resembled a bunch of Mexicans brandishing long swords which they used mostly for flashing in the sun. Anyway they drank vodka instead of tequila. The lead role, that of old Taras Bulba himself, was played by old Yul Brynner himself. He did a rather unconvincing portrayal of the Cossack leader, as he spent most of the film footage strutting about with his hands on his hips, drinking vodka, saying profound things, and throwing Tony Curtis in the family well (in that order). Taras would have been better played by a more earthy actor such as Jackie Gleason or Johnny Mack Brown. Brynner also looked like a Mexican. So did all the Polish soldiers. In fact the only one in the picture who didn't look like a Mexican was good old Tony Curtis who looked like a football player. Curtis, who played one of old Taras' sons, absorbed an unbelievable amount of physical violence throughout the picture. First he was pummelled by old Taras and lobbed into a well (all in fun mind you). Then, he was beaten on several assorted occasions by the head of the Gestapo in a religious school. After receiving a sword wound and returning home, he is pummelled by old Taras and lobbed into the old well. (As you might guess, these Cossacks were extremely playful). Next, disguised as a cow (honest!), Tony slips into a Polish town to rescue Christine Kaufman, who spoke one of her four lines at this time. Unfortunately, poor Tony is captured by the Poles, pummelled, and lobbed into jail. Finally old Tony is shot by old Taras, (all in fun) for cattle-rustling. Miss · Kaufmann's performance lacked a great deal to be sure. She performs with the emotion of a fire hydrant and an equal amount fire hydrant and the creativity of a broom stick. The plot is built around a st1·uggle between the Cossacks and the Polish government for the land known as the Russian Steppes. (The movie was filmed in a dust bowl between two ridges of the Andes in Argentina). The Cossacks are the good guys and the Poles are the baddies. It's easy to tell the two opposing forces apart beca use the Poles wear slick blue uniforms and the Cossacks wear zipout linings from old overcoats. High point in the movie is a rousing party thrown by old Taras to celebrate something or other and to drink vodka. This scene might be one of the loudest, wildest bashes on film. Of special interest at the party is a woman prancing about with a large python or some such other constrictor around her neck, and a bear-pit (complete with a bear) in the middle of the floor. Tony Curtis, of course, almost falls in the pit (all in fun). In general, the picture is not worth the admission price. One can see more action in the last rows of the balcony than on the screen. The entire movie is simply unconvincing. Dress Fashions Vary; Sk1·nny Look Featured by MiMi Wilson MLLE MAG College Board Mem The trim and tailored look is in vogue for the woman who wants to be fashion right this spring, say leading designers across the country. Designer Monte-Sano's two piece dress shows an unsleeved, hiplength middy blouse over a sheath skirt slightly gathered at the waist. Nat Kaplan's creation called the Rajah dress is cut along princess lines. It is sleeveless and single or double breasted as you like it. The Skimmer by Townley is a more shapely version of the shift dress which features a bateau neckline and A-shaped skirt. Larry Aldrich has given his suits a tunic effect. His jackets are almost long enough to be coats and ease into slim skirts. His dress story shows a tunic oveblouse which has the new shirt sleeve over a slim skirt. Pauline Trigere has designed her suit jackets to fall just a little below the hips. In coat-dress ensembles the fashion keynote is contrast in texture. The dress may be of silk, the coat of fluffy mohair. The Rajah coat and the bathrobe coat are two i n t e r e s t i n g silhouettes in spring coats. Italian designer Veneziani revealed reversible coats at his spring showing. Red-orange reverses to bright yellow and peach turns to violet. Many of his coats are styled with the kimono sleeve.

The right skirt length is just below the kneecap but skirts are slowly inching over the knees. �Friday. February 22, 1963 WILKF.S COLLF.GE BEACON· 3 Letters to the Editor Honor Code Stimulates Discussion Name Withheld Returns Dear Editor: The following is from a Wilkes College Brief entitled The Human Mirror which appeared in June of 1949. " Some people, trusting only themselves and mistrusting their neighbor, will not agree that control of self is the answer to all problems. They are so sure of their own rightness that they mistrust the rightness of their neighbor. Such people believe that the g reat problem of our time is not the control of one's self, but control of one's neighbor. Unconsciously or consciously they have set themselves above their neighbors. They have failed to learn the simplest lesson in human relat ions - that our neighbors mirror our own spirit." Letters to the editor from proponents of an honor system have been not only unfriendly toward the faculty but have assumed that the faculty have nothing to say about how their examinations s hould be conducted. Any system to work must include all the neighbors, both faculty and students. Name Withheld Again Will Honor Destroy the Individual? 0 Ye of Little Faith Dear Editor : If the Honor Code is accepted or rejected at Wilkes it has at least served one function: it has been an ideal put in the limelight where studeqts may actively voice their own opinions, pen them out to the Beacon, or do both. Once upon another time, certain students became disgusted with their failure to establish an Honor System on campus. Lack of support by some of the faculty and students caused this failure. The now-disgusted students had had high hopes. They felt the establishment of an Honor System might instill in students individual responsibility - something that seems to be lacking in people here about! True, the proposition of an Honor System had appeared for decades; but, it had never been given a trial run. A final BIG push by certain "indefatiguable, persistent" students failed to establish an Honor System. This failure was noted by many. Finally, the entire campus - the entire populus of the planet went to HELL. Lack of support for the Honor System led the students who had been cheating to think that this practice was permissible as long as one could get away with it! They hadn't been doing wrong all along. This practice sp1·ead to other students, even .to those who had been honorable. Why not? It was much easier than studying for an exam. Students organized into cheating clubs. Their main business was creating up-to-date methods of fooling the instructors. The plan worked fine! Every student did well. At the end of the semester in which this practice began, all students "earned" a 4 in each course including World Lit and Sociology! (WOW!) Word spread among the administration; they were prompted to call a meeting of the faculty to discuss this phenomenon. When the startling facts were exhibited, the individual instructors began to ponder the situation. They began to suspect; some foul practices. For the next semester, they hired special proctors to aid in watching over the students. This number increased until there was one proctor for each student. The administration found themselves with little to do while every student was attaining a 4.00 average. Their biggest job was publication of the Dean's List each semester. With so much leisure, they began to leave their offices earlier each day. Soon they didn't come ,into work at all; they secured other jobs which supplemented their income. Now some of the wealthier students found that they could bribe their proctor for a small fee and continue to get good grades. In fact, the wealthier, wealthier students (resident students ) discovered one or two instructors who would give a "4" in a course and not require attendance at classes. As students graduated (all summa cum laude, by the way) they carried .their cheating practices with them. First hit was the government, which realized a smaller income because of a loss in income tax. Some graduates secured important civic positions; their cheating habits were now known as embezzlement, fraud, etc. They even corrupted labor unions, including the UMWA. Imagine! This condition spread to other areas of the globe until Earth was one gigantic free-for-all. Even the faculty eventually succumbed. Satan showed no concern whatsoever. He was filled with exceeding great joy as he sharpened his pitch fork. At last he was able to keep the home fires burning. With apologies, Corny Corn P.S.-Gabe has a new position in the orchestra: he's playing second fiddle to the fallen angel. The Honor Code is a conflict that inhabits every person. It is not a collective system in reality as it is ideally defined. There are infractions of its provision and these infractions are committed by individuals, not by a collectivist group. The individual must decide for himself by his inner-feeling or conscience that what he did or is contemplating to do is either right or wrong. If a person has a strong, moral conscience there is only one path to follow - the right one. On the other hand, if the individual has a loose, base conscience there is also only one path left to follow - the wrong one. Thus there is no compromise open to the individual. A full commitment is demanded either way. This full commitment is the concern of man's rationality. If an individual is rational, he has the intelligence to distinguish what is right from what is wrong, and to make a final decision that will be beneficial to him rather than detrimental to him. On the other hand, if a man is irrational he is unable to distinguish right from wrong. He is influenced by others while they form their own opinions. He fa just a person who "follows the crowd." He is a drop of water during tempest. He is no longer "individual." Should Wilkes adopt an Honor Code or not? If a person is rational he knows what his answer will be; if he is irrational he is still undecided and has to "think it over." Finally, what is the Honor Code? If a person must decide to adopt a position on the issue, he must first define the terms of the issue and then make his stand. The basic provisions of all Honor Codes is that if one student notices that another student is cheating during an examination, it is his holy duty to report the cheater to the court of honor. If a stuDear Editor : dent does not report the cheater to the court of honor, he must reMiss Roberts' letter in last port himself for not doing his duty. week's Beacon concerning the establishment of an Honor Code at With this principle in mind, a few problems are created.

Second, the fact that such a ruling exists may tempt many stuVince McHale dents to break it. If a student breaks the ruling successfully, he will boast about it, and he might even become the "envy" of the "boys." It is almost as good as the no drinking on campus ruling. My! My!

Dear Editor: This letter is written with several purposes in mind. One is to bring to the attention of both students and faculty members the apparent apathy on the part of the faculty members toward student-held functions. Anyone attending Theta Delta Rho's Valentine Dance undoubtedly noticed that Dr. and Mrs. Reif of the faculty and Mrs. Ahlborn of the administration were the only chaperones present. This is certainly a small percentage of the number able to attend. Another purpose of this letter is to question the necessity of time and money spent by various organizations to send invitations to members of the faculty and administration. Is the spending of this time and money justified if only one or two faculty members out of nearly one hundred attend a student-held affair? I would certainly like to know if the faculty members consider it an imposition to be asked to attend an affair sponsored by the (continued 011 page 6) ~- \\ ¥.~==-==::::.~<:_~__=_-:::'---============== \ _JI r <f); {' I don't C.Q,e. 1~ we.. h AvQ.

It is regretable that only a handful of people are interested in this subject - or at least, only a handful have been so far! This is particularly meaningful when one considers the possible implications inherent in the adoption of such a system at Wilkes. If adopted, this system would pertain to each student individually. No one would be free from its effects. After reading that last sentence, think about it for awhile. It wouldn't be like other projects and activities which students choose to participate in or abstain from. There wouldn't be that freedom to choose. Rather, .there would exist a sphere of containment in which each student's actions would be subject to conscious scrutiny by his fellow students in all academic endeavors. Eventually, proponents of this system hope .to have it extended to include social and other student activities. Several pertinent questions arise from all of this - is it fair to impose a system of this .type upon a heterogeneous group as exists at Wilkes ? Can the morals of each individual be equated with those of his fellow classmates? Of course not! But isn't this one of the basic premises upon which such a system relates to the individual? Would there be equality and the guarantee of uniform justice meted out by an Honor Court composed of students who are relatively transient (four years at the most), compared to professional, experienced educators whose job includes the proctoring of examinations? To me, such a system is plainly flagrant interference with personal freedom. Honor is a personal thing; conscience deals very well with matters of wrongdoing. Need we be subject to such conditions as are precluded under the Honor System, simply because some individuals wish to learn about honor and the results of social transgressions? If such individuals have not acquired a sense of moral dignity by this .time, through teachings received at home, church and in previous schooling, then it is certainly regrettable. However, to some people, college at $425.00 per semester is not a game in which we must all try to teach "Johnny" and "Janie" the meaning of honesty. To most students, their futures depend on what occurs now, during their four years at college. Out in the big, bad world there are ways to deal with cheaters and parasites without impinging on the normal and rightful actions of others. Oftentimes, the most effective way to learn is the hard way. What's more, to think that such a plan would give all a fairer chance at keeping the academic climate more just, is ridiculous. What's wrong with the status quo? Sure, there's cheating! But prove to me that there would be any less with an Honor System. You say maybe there wouldn't be too much less? Or maybe there wouldn't be any less than there is now? Then what are we wasting our time for? Why not a plea to all proctors .to start keeping a keener eye on our "honorable" students? Maybe some of the deadwood could be eliminated, and all concerned would breathe more easily. I R.

The 5'10" junior from Spring City, Pa., is a guard on the Colonel basketball team. For two seasons Dick has been invaluabl e to the team as a playmaker and spark-plug for the Wilkes cagers. This season the Dick Morgan fortunes of the team have been terrible. Still, the play of Dick Morgan is to be noticed. On court for the Colonels Dick is the source of determination which at times seems to go unheeded, but in spite of the current of the game he manages to keep some life in the team. Dick's determination stems from his one deep desire to win which one must agree is perhaps the first step to victory. Dick's defensive ability shows itself in every contest and when he was injured last season, his absence was sorely felt. Dick, along with Harvey Rosen and Bob Fleming, form s the key to the Colonel attack . For his unconquerable spirit and r elentless effort and drive, along with his defensive skill and role a s playmaker, the Beacon has selected Dick Morgan as "Athlete of the Week ." ~IU#td-i#.'

Wilson The Wilkes swimming team, which was formed three years ago by the "Iron Man," Carl Havira, opened its season this year by defeating Drexel, 54-37, but has since dropped four meets in a row. The team has won only a single meet in three years, and many factors may be responsible for this dismal showing. The greatest handicap facing this year's team is the lack of facilities, namely, a pool. The mermen have occasional use of the YMCA pool, but this access must be within the schedule of the YMCA. Although the squad presently has potentially good swimmers, it has also been greatly hampered by the lack of sufficient material. Many key performers were lost as the season progressed because of academic r easons. Still others dropped from the team for various reasons. Although the team has won only a single meet, the future looks promising. Coach Young's squad is composed entirely of freshmen and sophomores, and next year's squad may be the first winning team in the history of the sport at Wilkes.

Showing excellent form the Barons continued their victory spree under the leadership of playmakers Ed Simmons, Bob Keller and Jack Jackson. This trio turned in one of their best performances this season. Simmons, who has been hot in the last several games, clicked again with 30 points, and teammates Jackson and Keller were other instruments in the big wins for Wilkes-Barre, each dumping in 29 tallies for the local cagers in the regular game. . A recent addition to the team, Jack Jackson, a bounding young man acquired from Trenton, has proved to be a crowd pleaser with his unusual style of play as well as a valuable contribution to the club. Jackson has been nicknamed "Jumping Jack." On a fast break or defensive maneuver Jackson makes unbelievable leaps into the air dunking b a 11 s effortlessly through the net or making superb blocks. He befuddled former teammate Wally Choice on numerous occasions with such blocked shots. Howie Montgomery, according to general manage1· John Solovey, is out of a job for failure t o report to last week's game. Montgomery was absent from the previous game due to the adverse traveling conditions, and spent the weekend in his Texas hom e. With the Barons on fire, coach Chick Craig is eyeing playoff chances which are now looking The squad has also received poor support from the student body which has greatly huit the team's spirit. These difficulties must be overcome before the team can f ully develop into its potential. SCIENCE City In the Eastern Basketball League, this week finds the Wilkes-Barre Barons still riding their winning wave. Against the Trenton Colonials last Saturday night, the Wilkes-Barreans dominated the New Jersey ball club to take their 6th and 7th consecutive wins at the West Side Armory. The Barons came from behind in a replayed fourth period of a game, which earlier in the season was protested by the Trenton team, to hand the Colonials a 126 to 1>21 loss, with Bob Keller and Ted Luckenbill collecting 16 and 15 points respectively. In the regular contest Wilkes-Barre completely overpowered the Colonials, crushing them, 146 to 124. As a result of these losses in manpower, Coach Ken Young now has only a ten man squad, and obviously no depth. These ten swimmers deserve mention: Captain Jack Barnes, Ron Doggett, Ken Wiswall, John Rokita, Lamont McClure, Bill Vanderburg, Roger Squire, Chuck Ritrillo, John Thomas, and Ron Masters.

It has been stated that these remarks serve to "hurt" our athletic earns. I am not certain what this term "hurt" means exactly. Apparently the application of the . term refers to the morale of our athletes. If this is the case, then the charge that this column is "hurting" our teams becomes ludicrous. How can he written word "hurt"( demoralize) a team that by itself has lost sixteen of seventeen contests thus far in he season? This writer does not feel that he has injured any of our athletic teams in the least. Actually, it is flattering that these articles have been regarded as potent enough to have any effect at all upon our campus heroes. The column is not designed as an instrument of demoralizing propaganda. It is merely an attempt to bring into focus a true picture of the athletic situation. lt appears that certain individuals would have the Beacon Sports page(s) function merely as an arm of the Sports Publicity Office. These individuals would have us cloud the fact that many Wilkes athletic endeavors have been declining. This, however, is definitely not the policy of this paper. The sports staff refuses to accept such a position. Recently, a member of our wrestling team, in a discussion with one of the Beacon editors, confided that he agreed with the constructive criticism that appears in this column, but implied that such criticism should not appear in the Beacon. If not here, where should it appear? This, I fear, is an example of the narrow view adhered to by a number of persons on campus. We are certain that the majority of the students here do not hold this viewpoint which is assuredly faulty. Free expression of criticism is a basic right of every newspaper in these United States. Expression will remain free as long as the expressing party adheres to the actual facts and does not veil the truth. There, of course, must be certain boundaries of discretion which must be observed for obvious rasons. This writer contends that none of the above-mentioned abuses have been committed in this column. It is unfortunate that some have been offended by the truth. In closing, I should like to turn to a quotation from Benjamin Franklin. "If all printers (writers) were determined not to print anything 'til they were sure it would offend nobody, there would be very little printed." This states my case. Cagers Open Three Game Home Stand Tomorrow evening the Colonel cagers will begin a three-game home stand as they host the Greyhounds of Moravian College. Earlier this season the Hounds handed the Davismen an 87-62 setback at Bethlehem. Currently the Greyhounds are among the leaders· in the Middle Atlantic Conference race and will be trying for their fourth win in two years over Wilkes. On Tuesday the Wilkesmen will host Rutgers of South Jersey in a non-conference game. Last season Rutgers was one of the three teams the Colonels beat, topping them 6758 in a road contest. This year the J erseyites are engaged in a moderately successful season and no doubt will be primed for the Wilkes battle. Thursday evening will mark the final home engagement of the season for the Colonels as they meet the Colonials of Harpur College. Last season the Colonials stopped Coach Davis' quintet, 68-59, at Binghamton. They rolled up an impressive 14-3 won-loss chart and are continuing along the same Jines this season. Harpur will field one of the shortest teams Wilkes has faced this season as their tallest starter will be 6'3" Phil Weisberg. Other members of the starting five will probably be 6'1" Mike Freedus, 5'10" Mike Greenberg, 6' Bob Loomis, and 6' Bill Moynihan. Lose to Vikings Last Saturday the Davismen were outclassed by the Vikings of Upsala College in a game played at East Orange, N.J. Connecting on 50 per cent of their field goal attempts the Vikings raked the Colonels for 98 points while holding the Wilkesmen to 43. As usual the Wilkes shooting was cold and they were out of contention midway through the first half. Upsala had five men in double figures while Harvey Rosen was high scorer in the game with 18. Bob Fleming was the only other Colonel in double figures, as he hit for 10.

Dr. Eugene S. Farley is organizational liaison chairman of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chapter for State Constitution Revision. Lettermen Vie for Titles At Cherry Tree Chop Seasonal tradition will prevail at the gym tonight when the Lettermen present their annual Cherry Tree Chop. The evening will host numerous activities which will commence at 8 p.m. and continue until 9 p.m. Music for the evening's dancing will be provided by the "fabulous record collection of Ted TravisBey." The main attraction at intermission will be the traditional log sawing contest featuring Dr. Farley and Dean Ralston against Brooke Yeager and Peter Winebrake. Also, although Dr. Michelini will not be here to defend his title of cherry pie-eating champion, some unkown member of the faculty will oppose Jerry Mohn for this title. An added attraction will be free cherry pie for everyone attending. Admission for the evening of entertainment will be 50 cents, with all proceeds from this record hop being used in the Lettermen's scholarship fund. The Apathetic Onlooker by Jack Hardie Olsen Schroeder We had an unfortunate experience the other day when we met Miss Medusa Havisham, the retired school teacher, and spoke with her on South Franklin Street. "Oh! and why are you all dressed up so ? " was her first question, her sweet blue eyes glittering with admiration. "Well," we began, "tonight's .the night of the 'Paradise for Lovebirds' dance . . . and we thought that we might g .... " ,"Ohh - 'Paradise for Lovebirds,' what a perfectly lovable name for a high school dance," she squealed. "But, Miss Ravish ...." "I remember when I was in grade school; a grade school dance, did you say it was?" She sighed admiringly again. "The little cuties must have had hours of excitement, thinking up such a sweet little name for their affair!" "Miss Havisham, it's not . . .. " "MY," she interrupted again, "you do look a little large for grade-school tykes - but then this strong, imaginative productive new generation is doing everything better these days. . .. Such a lovable name for your little dance." Even our weak protest trailed off as she continued down South Franklin Street, her face beaming, and we wondered whether or not she isn't getting a bit senile.

If such is the case, then feelings could be spared and time and money saved by not sending invitations but expecting only interested faculty members to attend functions. On the other hand, I would raise another question: Would members of the faculty be insulted if they did not receive a personal invitation? If any faculty members are interested in airing their feelings in this subject I am sure that the students will be grateful for their interest. Sincerely, (Name Withheld Upon Request) ICG Sponsors Sport Dance To Follow Moravian Game A new precedent may be set on campus if the ICG sport dance tomorrow evening is a success. Jeff Gallett, chairman of this initial post-game dance, emphasized this fact in a recent discussion of ICG's future plans. Jeff also requests the cooperation of all present at the game in leaving the gym proper immediately after the game to facilitate setting up for the festivities. Admission for the dance is 25 cents for students with activities cards but 50 cents for those without cards. That ICG is not active only in fund raising efforts is evidenced by the regional convention to be held at King's College on March 31. Approximately twelve schools will be in attendance at this convention which is only a warm-up for the state convention in Harrisburg in April. Each member writes up an amendment for the state constitution which is debated in the various committee meetings. If the amendment passes the committee it is then debated in the general assembly and the maker of the best amendment will receive an award. . . . For Your School Supplies Shop at ...

The affair, still in the planning stage, will consist of displays, discussions, lectures, and possibly films on the various branches of biology . In addition, the Biological Society is arranging for their two final evening programs. At the first of these, Mrs. Martin Friedmann will show slides of her recent tour of Russia, which she made with the Robert Shaw Chorale. At the second program Dr. Charles Reif will discuss the geological make-up of this area. The club will be represented at the Eastern Science Conference to be held in Boston. Students will present papers on the research which they now are conducting at the College. Those members who will travel to Boston are Thomas Saba, Bernard Cohen, Marshall Brooks, Ronald Mischak, Myron Evanich, Malcolm Baird, Donald Fine, and Brent O'Connell. l + + + + PERUGINO'S VILLA ltalian-Amerlccm : l + + Re■ tauraat A.

Another 'Parents' Day' Included in Calendar; Group Plans Agenda "Parents' Day" has been officially added to the fall social calendar. The date for the event is Saturday, October 5, 1963. Although the day of the affair is approximately eight months away, last night a group of eighteen underclassmen met with Arthur Hoover, administrative assistant to the President, who is in charge of the arrangements. At the meeting, the planning committee examined the Parents' Day programs from other colleges and universities. After making a study of their ideas, the students discussed the possibilities for the program of the October affair. Among the topics which were mentioned were a luncheon, a reception following the Moravian College football game occurring on Saturday afternoon, a dramatic group presentation, and lectures of general and contemporary interest. The agenda for the day is going to be varied in order to accommodate the '{~e range of interests of the parents. The group intends to have the program set up in its entirety before the end of the spring semester. The fall date of the Parents' Day will not eliminate the annual spring affair which is coordinated with the band concert. The one day affair may develop at a future date into a weekend for parents. -------------- 'Focus' Panel to Discuss 'Dilemma Called DeGaulle' The time of the "Focus" Program which was to air on WNAK Sundays at 9 p.m. has been changed and will now be heard on WARM Sundays at 11 p.m., according to Livingston Clewell, Public Relations Director. The subject of this week's program will be "The Dilemma Called DeGaulle." Panelists include Kathy DeAngelis, Bernard Cohen, Thomas Halstead, and Marshall ' Brooks. Gordon Roberts, executive alumni secretary, will be at the helm of the discussion. Future topics which the panelists will discuss are "Wilkes-Barre and Scranton - Cooperation in a Dynamic Future" and "The Pennsylvania State Constitution - Bring It Up To Date." Debators 'Remarkable' In First Varsity Year, Comment Their Coaches In its first year of varsity competition the College debating team, according to its coaches Mr. Dirk Budd and Miss Charlotte Lord, obtained "remarkable" results. On the topic "Resolved that the Non-Communist nations of the world should form an economic community," four of the College's freshman debators recently' placed fifth in competition with twentynine teams representing several colleges and universities of the, East. Taking the affirmative side of the question were Douglas Kistler and David Levy. Of the five rounds in which they participated, they were victorious in three.

Early in the year "one who knew" suggested that the yearbook not have a section of individual underclassmen pictures. Of course this ghastly idea was vetoed by kind souls who felt that underclassmen need recogn_ition. Phooey! As of this week exactly thirty-five underclassmen. from about one thousand, had individual photos taken. Granted the yearbook's office is not the most glamorous sight on campus. But the yearbook must be. Underclassmen should have swallowed their pride, entered Chase basement, and smiled for the photographer. One wonders what the yearbook will do with its unaerclassmen section - run a series of blank pages, or simply put all thirty-five photos on one page entitlea "miscellaneous"? It's too late for underclassmen to pose individually; but group photos of clubs and organizations will be taken during the next two weeks. May the JUnnicola receive a little more cooperation! G.M.Z. Machines - Fun Spoilers One of . our great campus traditions - registration confusion - will disappear from our College scene as mechanization once again triwnphs. No longer will students have the privilege of shuftling classes so that they do not interfere with recreation. No longer wiil they be able to stymie advisors by concocting impossi.ole class schedules. IBM machines rule again. Of course the administration office realizes that the new machines are not infallible. Until they are perfected they may still cause minor confusion in class arrangements. So perhaps fall registration may not be perfect. There may be yet a little fun len for those adventuresome class maneuverers. Mechanized registration, though, may be considered favorably. Hours spent by both faculty and students in the gymnasium has been at times trying. lliM will eliminate the unfortunate need for postponing or for dropping those desirable classes which simply could not fit into scheaules. G.M.Z. Campus Apathy Shaken? Has the apathy of the students of the College finally been shaken, or is it merely the few interested students who respond whenever there is a controversial subject on campus? During the past few weeks there has been a rise in the number of Letters to the Editor. It has been heartening to note that the content of the letters reveals that some students do think and do have opinions. The letters contain more than the usually gushy thank yous that can be done personally. Although the content has been good and it is a credit to those who write the letters, it is at the same time a fact that these writers are very seldom mere spectators but active participants. The apathetic students are usually unwilling to even think and formulate an opinion about any subject, controversial or not. The inertness of these individuals is overwhelming. It is time for the indifferent on campus to take note of the issues and to get rid of their apathy. Think and voice your opinion. All signed letters to the editor are welcome, and if desired, names will be held upon request. M.F.B. Whal - Where - When TDR Semi-Formal - Gym, Tonight, 9-12. Lycoming Weekend - Lycoming, Saturday.

Olsen Schroeder Gail Roberts A Priori Adam vs. The Honor System �Friday, February 15, 1963 Linguist Discusses Language Lab Editor's Note :-Speculation concerning the new language laboratory, which was the gift of last year's graduates, has prompted investigation by the BEACON. In the following article Dr. Cees Frijters disspells some popular misconceptions concerning the use of a language laboratory. THE OBVIOUS ADVANTAGE of a language laboratory is the much more active and effective participation of the individual student in the learning process. Thi s is at the same time, apart from any competitive motives, the only reason for installing a language lab, and we are grateful to the students who helped to solve the initial budgetary problems. The teacher's voice reaches the student's ear directly, and without any distracting noises in the classroom and from the outside world. The student, sitting in a small, fenced-off area, headphones on, can not be distracted. He is all ear. Language is a means of communication, and thus learning a language requires not only practice of the ear, but also practice of the vocal organs. A language lab provides for this too, because speaking into a microphone, the student can hear his own voice when trying to repeat what he heard or when answering questions. He can compare his own pronunciation with the instructor's voice. He will not hear the mistakes of others. He is freed from the fear of embarrassment and ridicule. The teacher can communicate with him individually and can help him. Because of thi s direct contact with the sound source, because of the forced concentration, and because of the self-controlled speech practice, a language lab surpasses any other type of language teaching. THE DISADVANTAGES of a language 1 ab are obvious too. There is a human side to the animals that we are. The contact with the foreign language that the lab offers is a more or less unnatural one. Speaking is communicating, and gestures and facial expressions may not be essential; they play, however, an integral part in the communication process. It may be true that when listeni;11g to the radio and speaking over the telephone, we are content with the same minimum contact, but nevertheless the contact between teacher and student in class is richer and more natural. Another disadvantage is the "immobility" of such a perpetuum mobile as a tape is. The student, caught up in the constant motion of that t each ing wheel, may feel the strain of the monotony of the drills. Textbooks may tie our hands also, leaving hardly room for any sidetrips, but students feel traditional instruction to be more f lexible than continuously demanding mastertape. PROBLEMS Because of the disadvantages just mentioned and because of the fact that we are tied to our handbooks, a language lab is very often considered by many language teachers to be no more than a useful complement to regular classroom instruction. In elementai-y classes students can listen to a record, preferably a song with clear and simple lyrics which can be repeated by a native speaker of the foreign language and then repeated by the students sentence by sentence. In the more advanced classes they can listen to choirs with orchestras, to operas and plays. Since the purpose here is to get to know at the same time the culture of the country of which they are learning the language, such a record might also be played in a regular classroom, because the direct contact between sound source and ear is not necessary and the human contact is more desirable. A dictation may be given, eventually for exam or test purposes. One can record and play back a text which is being read in the classroom; many readers today are provided with tapes for this purpose. We can have the students 3 WILKF.S COLLF.GE BEACON what in my opinion we could do and what we should try. It is a personal opinion which as far as method is concerned, is fairly :w_e ll worked out, and which is shared in principle by many authorities in tht field of programmed learning; but nothing of the kind of instruction I am planning has been published so far. To me it is a logical line of thought; to many readers it may be a beautiful daydream or a nightmare. Before explaining my method, I would like to go over a few terms that hang very much in the air these days. What do we mean by programmed learning · Programmed learning is a method applying self-instructional devices which provide the learner with a sequence of problems that I_ oN rHe BANDSTAND with Hal Kistler A major source of inspiration to the struggling young jazz musicians of today is the story of the Paul Winter Sextet. Comprised of six young college students from the Chicago area, the group has already made its mark in the world of jazz. In May, 1961, under the capable leadership of alto saxophonist Paul Winter, the group won the Intercollegiate Jazz Festival at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. As a result they were signed by Columbia and have two records on the market and another on the way. Then in February, 1962, after a little convincing by Winter, the State Department sent them on a twenty-three week tour of Latin America as part of the department cultural exchange program. They did an outstandingly fine job of promoting good will and gained nationwide recognition in this country. In December of last year, they became the first jazz group to play a concert at the White House. The program was one of a series of 1\irs. Kennedy's musical programs for young people. , One of the most interesting 1 things about the group is the fact that only two of them, the bassist and drummer, are music students. Pianist Warren Bernhart has a degree in organic chemistry, Dick Whitsell, trumpet, has a degree in speech, baritone saxophonist Richard Evans is working on his doctor's degree in history and Winter himself is an English major. The future looks bright for the group and its members. Here's hoping that we hear a lot more of them. require some action on the part of the student at every step of the program, and which take him from a low to a high level of proficiency in a given subject matter; the self-instructional device must also provide immediate confirmation about the correctness of the learner's effort. It will be clear that a language lab is one thing and programmed learning is another thing. But a language lab could be used for programmed learning. We program computors by storing a set of instructions. The machine then performs the miracle: an output which goes far beyond the input. In the language lab there is also an input. However, the output is no more than a distribution of the input over, for example, 25 booths. lf the input is a song, then the result is no more than the same song heard in 25 booths. The term "programmed learning" can hardly be applied. It is different when students are exposed to carefully prepared drills, put on tape, adapted to the level of grammar covered.. But thinking about the term " programmed Pie-eating, log-sawing and free learning" and about mechanization in general, one comes to the conclusion that in education we stand only at the beginning of a rapidly cherry pie will be featured at the expanding process.

I The linguist covers only part of the area of language instruction, I but he covers exactly that pa1t of the language that presents itself as an organized system and that, therefore, lends itself to "mechanization." Thus a language lab, used as a self-instructional device, by MiMi Wilson belongs first of all in the domain of the linguist.

Drills which are similar to those for normal classroom use can be put on tape. Using the language lab for the above purposes usually requires an additional hour, because the textbooks to be covered do not allow time for this. Newly published textbooks usually come with a set of tapes, which include dialogues, drill patterns, pronunciation drills etc. These textbooks are written with the language lab in mind. Since not every school has access to a language lab, the publishers stress the point that the books can very well be used without using the tapes. However, once one decides to use a modern textbook, one also wants all the audio-lingual advantages it provides. These tapes do not exclude the · other useful and more enjoyable applications of the lab mentioned above, which make an additional hour still desirable. If one is restricted to three class hours, the lab will usually stay empty, or the "speed" factor will affect the quality of our teaching more than it does already. NEW AND OLD But we do have a language lab. What are we going to do with it? That question cannot be definitely answered as of yet. We are in a stage of experimentation. In any case, we can always introduce a new textbook that comes with tapes.

Last year the Vikings counted Wilkes among its seven victories. This year Wiebolt has only four men back from last season, but a highly talented group of freshmen have been doing a great deal of the varsity work. Although not an exceptionally tall t eam, the Vikings have all-around rebounding strength as all of their starters are around 6'2". Following the Upsala contest the cagers go to Trenton to be guests of coach Bob Greenwood's Roughriders of Rider College. Last season the Rid ers edged the Wilkesmen, 67-64. The Roughriders are currently enjoying a successful season in Greenwood's first year a s head coach. Probable starters for Rider are 6-0 Mike Brown, 6-1 Bob Barret, 6-1 Doug Endres, 6-4 Dick Phelps, and 6-8 Randy Getchis or 6-8 Bill Van Druten. Returning home on Thursda y, the Wilkesmen will host the Hofstra College quintet in another MAC contest. In last year's game with Wilkes the Dutchmen rolled over Wilkes, 83-50, but this year's squad is depleted of all but four of its lettermen. Then only senior on t he roster, Lew Freifeld is the t eam playmaker and floor leader. Other members of the starting five will probably be 6-2 Ron Alfiere, 6-0 Howie Black, 6-4 Jim Boatwright, and 6-5 Stuart Krosser. Colonels Drop 13th Last Saturday the Wilkes dribblers lost their thirteenth decision of the season as they were completely dominated by Wagner College, 116-67, in a contest played on Long Island. The Davismen were never in the game as the Wagner five roared off to an early lead and maintained the wide m a r g i n throughout° the contest.

Lycoming got off to an early lead and Wilkes never got close. In general, the game was pJayed without regard for the finer skills of basketball and at times resembled a soccer match. Wilkes had the amazing total of 16 personal fouls called on them in the first half and Lycoming wound up shooting 45 free throws.

Time Out! by JIM JACKIEWICZ, Sports Editor WILKES BASKETBALL REVISITED It is needless to point out that the Wilkes College basketball team is mired in the wilderness of another losing season. This fact, in itself, would not seem so distasteful to one who is unfamiliar with the fortunes of our beloved Colonels, but one who is acquainted with the present basketball setup at the College is aware of the sorry situation that has developed. Most college basketball teams tend to improve their performances as tne season moves along. With ·•coach" Davis' dribblers the reverse is true. Lately the Colonels have gotten progressively worse. In the three contests preceding this writmg, the Wilicesmen were drubbed by Scranton, Susquehanna, and Wagner to scores of 103-75, 100-5'7, and 116-67 respectively. We admit that these three teams are fine basketball aggregations. The question then arises, Why isn't Wilkes a good team? There are a number of reasons. First, the players on the squad are not on the same plane with many, if not most, of those on the teams that Wilkes finds on its schedule. This may readily discerned simply by watching any game. The players on opposing squads are more proficient in the basketball skills than are the Colonels. Second, we believe that the present coaching regime is inadequate. The team may be observed making repeated mistakes which should have been remedied in high school. The Wilkes coaching staff has not remedied these errors. Coach Davis, who is employed by the Sordoni Construction Company, is at work until live o'clock each day. This causes a rather ridiculous situation because basketball practice begins at four. Thus a precedent has been set in the annals of the hardwood sport. Wilkes has one coach for practice and one coach for games. Another cause of the failure of the Colonels is the support, or lack of support, on the part of the administration. Other college with which Wilkes competes in athletic contests offer lucrative scholarships to athletes and are able to attract superior players. As long as academic standards are met by these athletes, there are no apparent evils in this practice. it is time for everyone to realize that the basketball system is accomplishing little m o r e t h a n serving as a source of embarassment for the College. If we are to place a team in intercollegiate competition, why not field one that is not an object of widespread ridicule. The final problem the cagers have encountered has been the 1 o s s of personnel. Recently, a number of players have gone into retirement for various reasons. Among these are both centers Steve Gerko and Pete Kundra. Starting center for the Colonels presently is 6-2 freshman Jim Vidunas. In order for Wilkes College basketball to regain a posision of respectability, radical changes must be made. Better coaching and attraction of players are the two areas which must undergo this change. ... For Your School Supplies Lettered WILKES JACKETS . LEWIS - DUNCAN SPORTS CENTER 11 E.

Arguing for the affirmative were Arts m~jor Dave Levy and Commerce and Finance major Doug Kistler . In three out of five cases Dave and Doug outargued their competition. Dave was commended in his r ebuttal by one of the judges and was only three points · shy of receiving a trophy. Taking the negative side of the topic were Rosemary Rush, major in Medical Technology, and Secondary Education major Jim Tredinnick. The popular opinion among men about the pointless arguing of women may have been somewhat discredited by the fact that the negatives, which was onehalf female, came out on top in four out of five cases. At any rate, Rosemary and Jim both are deserving of mention for this fine showing. Over all, the team is to be congratulated. Comment by the judges was that the team's strategy was not quite up to par. One judge mentioned that the team let up when it should have pressed a point. Congratulations also to Miss Lord and Mr. Budd, who coached the team. To further praise the debators, the Beacon feels the team deserves honor as " Athlete of the Week."

The problem for the administration arose out of the student defense loan program. As a result of the rising tuition cost, greater demands were made by the students for the defense loans. The administration, desiring to fulfill the needs of the students last fall, was as generous as possible when granting the loans, and subsequently as we enter the spring semester, there is much less of the allocated fund remaining to be distributed to the students than there should be, had the fund been divided equally between the fall and spring semesters. After very careful deliberation, the administration came up with the following plan to solve the existing problem. Since the remains of the f und would not be Local Talent to Compete For Piano Scholarship Mr. Robert Lovett, music department chairman, has announced that auditions for the Carpenter Foundation Piano Scholarship will be held in Gies Hall on Saturday, Feb. 9. The Carpenter Family Fund has been set up in order to encourage artistic activity in Luzerne County. Competition is open to 10th, 11th, and 12th grade student pianists of all county schools. The winner, who will be selected by the faculty members of the College Music Department, will be awarded a $200 scholarship for further study in any college or conservatory of like grade. The scholarship winner will appear at the 15th annual Carpenter Memorial Concert. The concert will be held on Monday evening, March 11, in the First Methodist Church, North Franklin Street. enough to cover the demands of all the students, there would have to be a cut in the allocation of this fund somewhere. Either there would have to be discrimination a s to who received the loan and who did not, or there would have to be a uniform cut of all loans. Because the latter alternative seemed the most fair, it was accepted by the administration, and a uniform cut of 5 per cent was made in the j loans to. all upperclassmen. It was felt that since the freshmen had undergone a great deal of careful pre-college counciling and planning, it would be unfair to cut their loans this year. In order to prevent a similar situation in the future, and to cope with the ever-increasing demands upon the loan. service, the administration plans to grant loans only after the applications have been carefully analyzed. Any requests for loans which are not entirely necessary will be refused. The College also plans to lower the $500 maximum _set by the f~deral government which may be given to a student in one year.

In 1961, IDC decided it would "adopt" a war "orphan" and after negotiating with Save The Children Federation, Incorporated, a worldwide organization working toward this end, Zoes became the protege of the council. The MaVI·ommatis family numbers four with Zoes' parents, Orpheus and Styliana, and his sister, Demetra. Before World War II, families in Europe - even poor ones - managed to eke out a living and get by with the bare necessities. Post World War II years were another story. Privations and hardships were added to by a Communist uprising. Factories were closing and personnel were being laid off. In these straited financial circumstances, the young MaVI·ommatis couple managed to raise their small family, although they ' placed a strain on an already insufficient budget. But then, shortly after Zoes' bilth, his father developed tuberculosis. His mother later fell ill, and the paternal grandmother joined the family to keep house. Realizing they could not provide adequately for young Zoes, the One of the ten College co-eds, photographed above between classes, will be selected by a panel of judges Saturday evening as the best-dressed woman on the campus and will represent the College in 'Glamour' Magazine's annual national contest to determine who are the ten best-dressed Friedmann, Hrynkiw, Liva To Perform in Fourth of Concert Series women on the American college scene.

N~ longer _is it considered sensible for one to do anything even slightly discomforting. If work bores you, go on relief. If your parents expect you to obey or even - perish the thought - to work around the house, run away. If studies require study, quit school. Do nothing unless it makes you happy. (Happiness is here equated with comfort.) The "escape trend" has become quite popular during the past fifteen years. What better way is there to make the headlines than by taking an overdose of, by leaping from a, or by slashing one's. What greater thrill is there than hearing a classmate say of you, "Isn't he brave? Just a week before graduation he decided studies were a drag so he quit school. I wish I had such courage." But one wonders whether it is easier to die or to go on living. Are those more courageous who abandon a project rather than persevere till its completion? The answer lies in the area of values. If immediate satisfaction be considered more important. then the quitters are the winners. And if this trend of escape continues, we will have a world filled with successful people - immediately successful, that is. At once they will achieve success by suicide, either suicide of body, of soul, or of spirit. The world will be successful and dead, simultaneously.

Friday, February 8, 1963 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: I would like to thank the Associated Women Students, the Public Relations Office, the Wilkes Chapter of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, and the Student overnment for making this year's Winter Carnival an exceptionally enjoyable one for me. I sincerely appreciate the work done by these organizations in making the day one I'll never forget. Sincerely, Gail Roberts " • • • Warm Your Trumpet, Gabe!" Dear Editor, Once upon a campus certain of the students, for a number of reasons, decided to establish on campus what was termed an HONOR SYSTEM. The students who desired to introduce the HONOR SYSTEM were, of course, perfectly honest themselves but they belived that some other students were using a number of ingenious devices to increase their (the other students') grades. Cases of the use of such devices had apparently been observed by certain students but no one had seen fit to deal with the devicers (the other students). Thus certain students believed that if an HONOR SYSTEM were to be established on campus, cases of devicing would disappear and any Dear Editor: which refused to disappear could be dealt with since no one The success of this year's Win- could withstand the social pressure exerted by the HONOR ter Carnival was accomplished only SYSTEM. through the time and efforts of Now it so happend that on campus the subject of an honor many people.

Devoles Energies lo Yearbook, Music For Annual Valentt~e Al Annual Pocono Winier Carnival Dance at Gym on Fnday 1----- -----· "F ,, M t WARM Planning for the future has become an integral part of Elaine R. Collier's spare time. As Editor-inchief of the Amnicola, Elaine devotes most of her energy to the preparation and design of the annual yearbook, which q·u i ck I y erases away any unpleasant memories of a long and hectic academic year. Elaine has spent the last three years planning for that day in Ma y when the yearbook at last makes its long-awaited appearance. One can see that her untiring efforts as Assistant Editor last year did not go unrewarded, as she ultimately rose to the top position on the staff. Elaine's time last year was also spent in planning her marriage to Harry Collier, a graduate of Wilkes who last year served a s head of the Amnicola while Elaine held her position a s Assistant Editor. A Dean's List student, Mrs. Colli er takes an active interest in music as well. She is a member of the Madrigal Singers, WC Chorus, and serves a s organist for the Plymouth Presbyterian Church. A current member of T'DR, she has served as past secretary of the C.C.U.N. Beside participation in all the above-mentioned activities, Elaine also manages to work at the Alumni Office on occasion during the school year as well as during the summer months. When asked about what improvements she would like to see at this college, Elaine commented, "There could be more parking lots. I'm very disgusted about the situation. And as for the honor system, I don't think it's a good idea and is an idealistic rather than realistic system. After all, an atmosphere of cheating is found in life, business, in anything." The Amnicola editor finds her t as k a · rewarding one, although it may be discouraging at times. "There's a lot more work than appears on the surface," she said. However, people just don't believe that." She asks for the co-operation of the student body during the oncoming weeks, especially that of the underclassmen. The T.D.R. Semi-Formal, "ParaMajoring in psychology (she has also earned an unofficial major in dise for Lovebirds," will be held in French), Elaine now resides with the gym from 9 to 12 p.m. on Febher parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ray- ruary 15 and is open to everyone on campus. In accordance with the theme, the gym will be decorated with wishing wells and birds. Any couple desiring r emembrance of the dance may have their picture taken on "the bridge" for one dolJar. The highlight of the evening will be the selection of a queen from T.D.R. members present. Tickets are three dollars a couple. Music will be furnished for dancing by Donlin's Pennsylvanians, and refreshments will be served all during the dance. Barbara Piledggi, president of T.D.R. announced the following committees: Rowena Simms, general chairman; Janie Farr, publicity; Lorraine Dyers and Rachel Phillips, table decorations ; Mary Frances Barone, favors; Erin McCormack, co-ordinator; Janie Woolbert and Janet Ainsworth, ceiling Elaine Collier mond Adams, at 108 Academy Street, Plymouth, while her husband Harry works with the Internal Revenue Bureau in Philadelphia. However, after the 1963 yearbook makes the scene on campus, Elaine Adams Collier will not cease to plan. She will then be preoccupied with plans for a happy home life with her husband in Philadelphia. LAZARUS Watch and Shaver Repair 57 S. Main St. Wilkes.Barre, Pa.

Activities began early in the morning and proceeded continuously until late in the evening. The highlight of the day's events was the crowning of Gail Roberts a s the first Snowflake Princess. Students enjoyed the privilege of the skating rink and the sledding and skiing slopes as well. Cold weather with ideal snow conditions · made all these a ctivities ver y desirable. As the evening approached, the students were able to relax at the main Inn, in order to conserve some energy for the dance to be held in Convention Hall beginning at 7 p.m. Music for dancing was provided by the Rhythm Aces, and intermission entertainment by the guitars of John B.

The pertinent question on campus these days seems to be "What happened to the language lab?" In a recent discussion with the ' Beacon' staff Dr. Frijters, of the language department, answered this question by revealing that much work is involved in the preparation of the lab for student use, but that the equipment would probably be ready for use in the fall semester. Explaining that one does not simply acquire a language lab one day and start using it the -n ext, he described the problems, both mechanical and technica1, involved in using a lab effectively. The mechanical problems - involving the instructors becoming familiar with the machinery itself - were rather easily solved, but the technical problems - which include choosing the correct method of using the machinery, then writing drills ,and selecting appropriate books to accompany these drills - are more complex and are still being worked out. To complicate the matter, almost no relevant material is avail- T.D.R.

Dr. Frijters, who is presently intensively engaged in preparing programming material for the project, is enthusiastic about its use as a tool for the teaching of a foreign language.

Soeder Receives Grant For Chemical Research Dr. Robert W. Soeder, assistant professor of chemistry, has been awarded an unrestricted grant in the amount of $2,500 by Research Corporation, New York, announced Dr. Eugene S. Farley, president of the College. Dr. Soeder plans to use the grant to purchase chemicals and equipment for use in a research project now underway. This project is an attempt to synthesize compounds which might have physical properties to be used as tranquilizers. Dr. Soeder joined the Wilkes faculty in 1962 after studying at the University of Minnesota as a postdoctoral Fellow.

Thus stated Duane Wilder, cochairman of the Governor's Committee of 100· for Better Education. "Pennsylvania politicians need a good bit of education in this subject because there is no community college program in this state, whereas California has 67 public community colleges with a total enrollment of 325,000," stated Wilder. Texas also has 34 public community colleges for 41,000 students. Illinois has 22; Washington has 112; Oklahoma has 11." According to Wilder, Pennsylvania high schools have indicated that nearly 20,000 students , would take advantage of further education in public communlty colleges every year if these were available. "Only four junior colleges in Pennsylvania approach the definition of a public community college, Hershey, York, Pittsburgh's Point Park, and Robert Morris," he said.

The gift ·that the next graduating class will present to the College has not yet been selected, but the members of the committee in charge of this project will soon be surrounded by suggestions. Next semester, the entire senior class will vote on these various suggestions. The Memorial Fund, which will provide the money for the present, has been utilized to the greatest advantage in previous years. The class of 1959 has made it possible for the students of Wilkes College, as well as any visitors to the College, to see the colorful pennants that decorate the gym. The scoreboard, that displays the scores of all the athletic events at the gym, was donated by the class of 1961. What would the language department be without language lab? The class of 1962 must have considered this question when they contributed equipment for the language laboratory. The school will know in a few short months what . this year's class will present to Wilkes College. �2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIAL Friday, January 11, 1963 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Let It Be Known Letters to the Editor ...

TRES CHIC Cologne Adds to Charm by Maryann Wilson, Cologne or perfume can be an important part of your daily grooming. Most people like to be around someone who is wearing a pleasant fragrance and the user always feels fresher and more glamorous. A fragrance can be worn anytime. For daytime wear a light scented floral bouquet is ideal, and during the evening more exotic scents are intriguing. Putting on a little cologne before beginning a study session in the evening can also give you a mental pickup. A POINT OF DISCUSSION by Dr. Stanko M. Vujica, Department of Philosophy and Religion At the height of the recent Cuban crisis, Premier Khrushchev wrote private letters to two men in the West-President Kennedy and the British philosopher, Lord Russell. I have been asked to comment on Russell's frequent excursions from the ivory tower of mathematical logic into the cold war arena, especially his recent antics in London streets as leader of the Committee of 100 whose slogan is "better Red than dead." First, let me say a few words about Bertrand Russell. He is one of the few seminal thinkers of the twentieth century, undoubtedly the greatest living philosopher and easily the most controversial one. Not since Socrates, who enjoyed playing the dangerous game of antagonizing his contemporaries by exploding their neat little certitudes, has a philosopher been more eager to express unpopular views on popular issues. Like Socrates, " the gadfly" of Athens, Russell seems to relish the self-assumed role of the conscience of the age. And like his Greek counterpart, he has more than once been accused of "denying recognized beliefs" and " corrupting the young." Russell's contributions to philosophy have been many and great. His contributions to the Cold War diplomacy, I fear, have been less fortunate. He urged President Truman to drop atomic bombs on the Soviet Union if it rejected proposals for international control. As late a s 1954, even after the lingering effects of the radioactivity became known, Russell wrote that as much as he deplored -the holocaust of war, he would regard it as a lesser evil than the loss of Western Europe to communism. Today his foreign policy platform is "better Red than dead." What are we to think of this newest twist of Russellian political wisdom? If Russell were addressing himself to individual citizens in, say, China or Hungary his slogan would be a counsel of prudence. If the choice were between either a useless and certain death or submission, only a person with suicidal tendencies or a perverted sense of martyrI dom would choose the former. A sane person prefers living to dying no matter how hard and unpleasant life may be. Surely, bravery does not consist in a willingness to die, but in a willingness to take great risks for a noble cause, including the risk of death if necessary. Russell, however, is not addressing himself to the citizens of the Iron Curtain countries. His slogan "better Red than dead" is intended as a guide for Western policy. What he is saying then is: Better communism than a nuclear war; he urges thaf· the West as the saner party in the conflict should be willing to accept the communization of the world rather than risk the global nuclear war. Thus understood the slogan, I feel, is politically unwise and morally dubious. To reveal to the enemy, in fact shout from the rooftops, our unwillingness to risk nuclear war under any circumstances whatsoever is an open invitation to conquest; to expect any other results is mere childish nursery psychology.

Recently named to "Who's Who Among College Students," she spends her summers working as a camp counsellor and during the school year works at the college library. Bonnie, reflecting on her college life, commented that the most valuable thing she has received from her higher education is "an intelligent critical attitude." Putting this attribute to good use, she comments thus on the current honor system controversy: "I don't think it will work if the stakes are high enough, honor will bow to the need to survive in an academic world.

Tomorrow evening the Colonel cagers will be in Elizabethtown, Pa. to meet the Elizabethtown College five in an MAC contest. Last season the Blue Jays downed the Davismen, 72-67, in a rugged contest. The E-towners are led by Captain John Neely, a 6'6" guard, who sparks their offense with his playmaking. Don Reitmeyer, a 6'7" sophomore, averaged 16 points per game last year and Jim Schichter had a 12.8 average. Both Reitmeyer and Schichter are ~ontinuing their scoring heroics this year. On Wednesday, Jan. 30, the Wilkes dribblers will be at Moravian College to play the Flying Dutchmen. Wilkes succumbed to the potent Dutchmen twice last season by 76-67 and 71-69 scores.

What is remarkable about Ned, In the finals, though, Ned was de- in addition to his knack for winning, is the fact that in college he is giving most of his opponents a decided weight advantage, as evidenced by the fact that he wrestled in 116 class in the Open. Ned seems to have relaxed a little since his high shcool days, but his sassy self-confidence still manages to show itself. His terrific spirit seems to be as great an asset as his wrestling skill. Ned knows the moves and possesses the speed to make up for his lack of weight, and, while not an overly powerful w1·estler, seems capable of controlling his often stronger adversaries. On campus as well as on the mats, Ned is high spirited and sure of himself.

The work is scheduled to be completed by February 15, a date which, by some twist of fate, coincides with that of the TDR Valentine semiformal. Instead of being aimed at the traditional red hearts, Cupid's arrows will be directed towards two large lovebirds, perched midst a setting of soft shades of blue. To make your every come true, there will be a wishing well, while bird cages will adorn all the tables. A bridge will lend a romantic atmosphere for picturet aking. Couples desiring remembrances of the evening may have their names placed on lovebirds which will be used to decorate the walls. These may then be taken home at the end of the dance. Unlike certain other paradises which shall go unnamed, requirements for entering the Paradise f or Lovebirds are not particularly stringent. A mere three dollars will assure your admission into this exotic world. There, ambrosia, the food of the gods, will be served under the guise of coke and chips. Dancing to the melodies of Tom Donlin's band will last no t an eternity, but only from 9 'til 12. Selected from among · the TDR members present at the dance,' the queen will be crowned at intermission. As guests of the Sorority, escorts will be given favors as token of what may prove to be their only trip into paradise. Rowena Simms is in charge of making your sojourn into the "Paradise for Lovebirds" a pleasant one. COMMUNITY COLLEGE (continued from page 1) But they are privately owned and operated. They do not serve all the people. Wilder feels that this is a critical gap in the system of public education and that the state is suffering an incalcuable loss of trained intelligence to its economy and culture, a loss that is shared by the entire nation. In discussing the need for a statewide system of community colleges, Wilder said that there are many thousands of high school graduates who don't see the need or purpose of going to college for four years but do see the need for education at a level above high school. COLLEGIANS NOTICE The Collegians will hold tryouts for the coming semester on January 14, 15, and 16, in Gies Hall at 12 noon. Any male student is cordially invited to join the chorus. The Collegians also wish to announce that a two-day tour of Pennsylvania is being planned , for the month of April. · - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- -- New Material Graces Book Shelf Bogged down with end-of-thesemester research papers?

Here you find a good companion for your hours of leisure ahead. If novels are your fancy, give in to that impulse you have had before every exam to drop everything and r ead a good book. Why not try The Reivers by William Faulkner. It has been acclaimed as a "comic classic" f ull of wild humor, racy language, frantic language, and "some of the most hair-raising and bizarre horse racing in the history of fact or fiction." Mystery fans will find that none other than Bertrand Russell has devoted his Noble Prize winning talents to occupying their reading t ime. His first book of fiction entitled Satan in the Suburbs and Other Stories deals " with saturnine machinations and strange bloodbrotherhoods in the Corsican mounta ins, with secret oaths and macabre schemes to destroy the world, with press lords flouting moral and legal taboos, and vicars forgetting DALON'S FIRESIDE ROOM 248 Wyoming Ave. • Kingston, Pa. ONE OF THE NICER PLACES TO DINE Steaks and Seafood - even the most crucial commandments." In a little different vein, poetry lovers can spend their time not only restfully but well with Edith Sitwell's Facade and Other Poems, 1920-1935. Considering Dr. Sitwell's early poems as a modern rebirth of poetry, Jack Lindsay in his introductory essay said that "in her work . . . the post-Romantic wound of our culture is understood, probed and healed." These titles and hundreds more are offered to you on the Library's new book shelves - to amuse, instruct, and keep you busy during the coming semester break. Girl Asks Boy to Dance "Sadie Hawkins Day" will again be celebrated from 9 to 12 at the gym tonight by the Interdormitory Council and all the Li'l Abners and Daisy Maes at Wilkes. The "Earthquakes" will provide music for girl-ask-boy dancing under a hillbilly moon. Sports jackets are required for the males, but no one with clodhoppers (in addition to his sports coat) and fifty cents will be turned away. Proceeds of the dance will be used to further the work of the I.D.C. "Orphans Court." Award-Winning Artist Latest Faculty Member by Joe Klaips Illuminated in this week's new faculty spotlight is Philip Richards, most recent faculty addition to the art department. Mr. Richards graduated f Pom Syracuse University with a B.F.A. degree, and prior to his coming to Wilkes was an art instructor at the Dallas Junior High School, in addition to being a member of the teaching staff at the Eberhart Museum in Scranton. The latter position, incidentally, still occupies a portion of his time. Aside from his teaching activities, Mr. Richards also finds time to do a great deal of painting on his own. He has been the recipient of numerous prizes and honors as a r esult of local and r egional competition, and has also won honors in national competition. The American Watercolor Prize, the Windsor Newton Award, and the British-American Watercolor Exhibit Award are just a few of the prizes he has won. Mr. Richards also holds membership in the York County Artists Group in Maine, the American Watercolor Society, and the Ogunquit, Maine, Artists' Society. Maintaining consistency in the artistic field of activity, Mr. Richards has a great interest in the theater. In the past he was an active participant in the Little Theater of Wilkes-Barre, and has been a member of the Board of Directors of that group. . , . . .

Graduate students of high calibre who are interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in English certainly have many such opportunities from which to choose. General requirements which applicants for National Defense Graduate Fellowships must meet are as follows: 1. At the time a fellow begins study, he must have completed a baccalaureate degree or its equivalent and give promise of doing outstanding graduate work. The comments of Mr. Richards on Wilkes College in general can best be stated in his own words. "In 1933 I was the operator of an art school here in Wilkes-Barre which was located in the gray building next to our gym on Franklin St. It now gives me a great deal of pleasure to instruct students as I had years ago, in almost the same place. I find the art department at Wilkes just wonderful. The students are very anxious to learn, and, as is not the case in other courses, oftentimes the students have so great an interest that they even come to class early. "I wish also to clear up an epidemic pseudoxy which has developed in the art field. Art, or painting as the case may be, is not just merely a case of making a copy of a picture or scene. The students' painting is a personal creation. It is his interpretation of what he sees and not what his instructor sees. If a student realizes this fact, he may be less reluctant to take a course in art. I can assure you that once a student does try painting, he more than likely enjoys it." VUJICA (continued from paee 2) There is no point in arguing about the effects of a nuclear war; its unspeakable horrors can be easily visualized. This makes it imperative that all concerned be willing to go to any length, short of surrender, to prevent it. War has always been a risky and evil business. The only moral justification for even a defensive war is that it is the lesser of the two evils. The number killed in World War II has been estimated over twenty-five million. Yet, would anyone be willing to say that the Allies should have submitted to Hitler rather than risk the horrors of that war? It, of course, is painfully true that the principle of national sovereignties has long become obsolete and that some form of World Government is the most urgent need of our time. But until that consummation devoutly to be wished is achieved, the right to self-defense cannot be denied to nations without leaving the gates wide open to international gangsterism. Indeed, the conviction that we have that right coupled with the willingness to exercise it and the determination to make the risks too great to the enemy is our only hope for survival. Perhaps the worst part of Russell's so-called policy is its utter emotionalism and loss of nerve. It is based on fear, "nameless, unreasoning, terror which paralyzes needed effort", to quote a famous American president. Russell's is also a counsel of despair. Paradoxically, those in the West who rely on military strength and the willingness to fight if need be have a more optimistic and charitable opinion of their enemy than the prophets of surrender. Those who shout in street demonstrations "better Red than dead" have assumed that the Communists lack not only sanity but even the basic human instinct of self-preservation. But the Communists can hardly be as inhuman as all that. They are as aware of the dangers of the nuclear war as we are and as afraid of dying. Someone has said that the only faith we should have in the Communists is the faith in their desire for survival. Our · whole cold war policy is largely predicated on that faith. Let me, in conclusion, quote Spinoza, one of the gentlest and noblest human beings that ever lived: "A free man thinks of nothing less than death; and his wisdom is a meditation not of death, but of life."

There are many graduate assistantships in English available. Some of the schools offering graduate assistantships in English are: the University of Minnesota, University of Chicago, University of Pittsburgh, Indiana University, Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, Duquesne University, University of Maryland, University of Connecticut, Colorado St ate - University, Vanderbilt University, Pennsylvania State University. Another graduate program which might interest some English majors is that of the University of Iowa in Journalism and Mass Communications.

It belongs to George Beacon, who, unlike us earth-bound mortals soars with the angels, has the disposition of a cherub, and has captured the heart of Miss Millie Gittens, manager of the bookstore. A word of explanation - This many-faceted creature is a bluegreen-cream colored parakeet who was presented to Millie by several of her friends from Chase Hall at a recent birthday dinner in her honor. Millie, who had on occasion revealed her desire for a parakeet, had no idea that the girls from Chase were going to give her one-and they succeeded in completely surprising her.

I would thus like to take this opportunity to discuss this subject more fully. No simple answer can be given since many factors play an important part in determining the correct age. Today there is no more doubt among educators on the advisability of including music education as part of the regular academic program. Most of the time this will start in the first grade or sooner, in the form of learning to sing songs. The human voice is both the most natural and the most perfect vehicle of musical expression. Long before the small child learns control of the vocal chords he will try to sing the songs he hears from infancy on. As soon as he can walk and run, he will express rhythm through body motion which eventually leads to dance. Any encouragement the child gets towards developing these natural tendencies, that much more he will eventually be able to include song and dance in his vocabulary of happy living. But what of instruments? They require a special manipulatory skill which often takes years of study and practice to acquire. The first thing to keep in mind is that the child will usually imitate the parents in his interests. If the climate for instumental study is not right in the home, only rarely will a child have the endurance necessary to pass beyond the point of drudgery to where it becomes enjoyment. A small child rarely shows any preference for a particular instrument. Again, it will be up to the parent to decide upon a particular course. Each instrument has a rating of difficulty and length of time it takes before one has mastered its basic problems. Two of the easiest instruments to start out with are the piano and the recorder (tonette). The latter has been successfully used in class instruction for first graders throughout the country and a school like Juilliard uses the recorder as the instrument best suited to teach the basic rudiments of music to young children. However its application is limited and eventually the child switches to another instrument. The best method of learning an instrument is to be constantly exposed to it, almost in the same manner as a child is exposed to speech and learns to talk without the slightest effort. Our daughter started with piano lessons soon after her third birthday. Even though now, after six months of study she still has not learned to play a whole piece alone, she is learning the musical language before real consciousness sets in. Progress is slow at this age and it takes a specially gifted teacher who will have the patience to work with a child this young. I say that the piano is easy to learn because the individual tones do not have to be created as on most other instruments, however it also takes many years, ten or more, to learn the finger control necessary to play music of even limited difficulty. That is why an early start is advantageous. Another instrument where an early start is advantageous is the violin the instrument which offers the most problems of a technical nature in its beginning study. Recently a Japanese teacher, Suzuki by name, has gained international recognition in his success with small children, teaching as many as thirty to fifty at one time and having them exposed several hours a day to the practice of the older and more advanced students. Generally we have come to say that the child should express a strong desire to study the violin before embarking upon its mastery, since many frustrations will be in store for him which can only be overcome by a strong Jove for the instrument. I myself started with the violin at the age of eight, an age which I now regard as too late for achieving ultimate perfection. One has to grow up with an instrument like the piano or the violin from infancy on. This, however, is not the case with the wind instruments. Here the period of actual technical growth is considerably shorter and also a well developed wind control is necessary before starting. I have seen marvelous results with students who start out playing the clarinet or the oboe not until their late teens. This is one reason why bands are so much easier to create than orchestras. The initial period of study is simply shorter with the wind instruments than with the strings. With voice the story is still different. It is generally acknowledged that not much is gained by trying to develop a voice before maturation. Also I claim that anyone with intelligence and hard work can learn to play an instrument but this is not the case with the voice. Here, the natural endowed quality and talent is more of a factor towards the production of a pleasing sound. Certainly a voice can be trained and improved, but I know that no amount of study and work would ever make me a singer, yet with work and study I know I could take up almost any instrument and play it well enough to satisfy an average critical ear. So where does that leave us? Am I pushing the age up too far for the average talent with regards to the piano and violin? Perhaps so, but the experience, from those who now control the concert stage, teaches us that in almost all cases music study was inaugurated between the ages of three and five. Natually, if the expectations diminish, then any later time is also acceptable. Say eight or nine, an age when the child is mature enough to make his own decisions and to work at least some by himself. But music practice is the topic for another article.

But since every book on the New Book Shelves of the Wilkes College Library is covered, a "catchy" title must serve this purpose. , The titles of ·at least one of these four new books will certainly detain a passerby, providing he doesn't have a class to make or a paper due before Christmas. The Cry for Help is sure to stop any humanitarian in his tracks. This volume, edited by Doctors Norman L. Farberow and Edwin S. Shneidman, "conveys the messages of suffering and anguish and the pleas for response that are expressed by and . contained within suicidal behaviors. This work gives practical community and individual procedures for responding to the cry as well as aids for further understanding the theoretical considerations." If the library patron is having difficulty financing his Christmas gift-giving, perhaps Other People's Money will gain his attention. But Donald R. Cressey, author of this study in the social psychology of embezzlement doesn't suggest a too active participation on the part of the reader in this "interesting social problem." Biologists might consider wandering among (the pages of) Dragons and Daffodils, but unless they are Anglo-Welsh they may be a little disappointed because this is an anthology of verse by John Stuart Williams and Richard Milner which "reveals a small part of the tremendous amount of creative work being done in Wales.'' But, on second thought, since the object of the book is to "inject the fresh vigour of close contact with life unglazed over by supefluous sophistication," biologists might find it interesting after all. Many historians might like to bid Farewell to the Bloody Shirt, but few would pass up this provocative title. Author Stanley P. Hirshon would reward them for their delay with "a detailed account of the rivalry between . . . two conflicting schools of Republican thought, the outcome of which determined the basic pattern of race relations which persists in most of the South to this day." Peace Corps Exam Set Tentative plans have been made to give the Peace Corps Placement Examination on Wilkes campus on or about February 23. The purpose of this test is to find which of the interested students are actually Peace Corps material. Students who seem to have this requirement will then be given a shorter examination in conjunction with the processing of their application. Passing this, the applicant will then begin the real testing. Wilkes students who are interested in taking the preliminary step in joining the Peace Corps are asked to see Mr. Hoover in Chase Hall before January 10. James H.

She was amazed at the number of students from outside the Wilkes-Barre area. Formerly the students were almost "all local people." Now there are students from all parts of the country and a few from foreign countries. Miss McAniff has observed that all the facilities and departments have grown unbelieveably in the past few years. She stated that it is marvelous to think that Wilkes has "expanded from the top floor of one building to include almost thirty buildings and to have the enrollment increase to the present number." Wilkes has grown in the past, but it is still expanding to meet the demands of its students and its community. WILKES COLLEGE COLORING BOOK 1. This is a Wilkes College Freshman.

In contrast to the fate of most popular music, many of these Christmas songs have become standards and have returned to the "top tune" lists year after year after year. Probably the biggest seller of all popular music was a Christmas song. This, of course, would be "White Christmas". The year it was originally released, the song became immediately popular and remained popular right through the following year and into the next .Christmas season. Commercial Christmas m u s i c covers a wide variety of subjects. There are songs about a reindeer with frostbite of the nose, a pretty little waltz sung by inebriated chipmunks, and, of course, about a little kid who wants false teeth for Christmas. · By the end of the holiday season, a person can get awfullsr sick of Christmas songs. The radio stations play them day and night, the stores blast them through their speaker systems, and the dance bands push them. Even the rock 'n roll groups have entered the field with such favorites as "Jingle Bell Rock" and "Rockin' Round the Christmas Tree." One can only anticipate with horror what the twist and limbo groups are likely; to create ( ?).

These are the improvements that Conrad Wagner, senior Political Science major from Hempstead, Long Island, would like to see introduced at Wilkes in the future. Commenting once again on the concerts, Conrad stated that they should be sponsored by the student body as a whole, not by one particular class or organization as was done in the past. 'Tm sure the results would be much better." Folk songs have inspired Conrad to learn to play the guitar. "The tales which the songs relate are interesting because they often have an historical background, and strumming a guitar is relaxing because it provides a break from a hectic day of classes._" His musical interests are not confined to jazz or folk songs, since he also enjoys twisting. Active in student affairs since his freshman year, Conrad has been Treasurer of his class for four years, a member of IDC during his ·sophomore year, and is presently serving as President of CCUN and Secretary of Barre Hall. "The organizations on campus would probably attract student interest if each one could issue a yearly publication of its accomplishments; as the Manuscript Society is presently doing. The chief obstacle to this idea is acquiring finances to meet the cost of publication." Conrad chose Wilkes because it is a small, non-sectarian college. Comparing the people of WilkesBarre to those of other communities, he stated that the WilkesBarreans seem to be friendlier and accept outsiders into their groups more readily. He thinks that Wilkes-Barre itself is quite depressing in the winter. "But, on the . Conrad Wagner other hand, it is much more pleas-..-:.--- - - - - - - - - - -ant in the early summer. Carnival Plans Arranged Conrad has the privilege of being "one of the few commuting dorm students" at Wilkes. His schedule allows him to journey home almost every weekend. "Living in a dorm is a wonderful experience, but it's not conducive to study." International Scene by Fred Smithson With the sound of "Hark the herald angels sing, glory to the new born King" fresh on the lips of students around campus, we have rapidly moved into another Christmas season. But this same, joyous spirit which we have is not shared by aU people. Words are flowing from the lips of the Indian people also but they are not of love and Christmas spirit. Instead, they sing of hate and killing. India is white hot with hate toward their powerful Chinese neighbor. Finally shaken out of their pacifism by the sudden onslaught of Chinese into Indian territory, the Nehru government is now stalling for time. Time is needed in which to build and strengthen the armies. Armies which had almost been destroyed by the philosophy of Nehru and Krishna Menon. A philosophy which had allowed the armies to decay into a tragic state of unpreparedness because of a misguided faith and trust in the peaceful intentions of Communist China. W h e n the Chinese abruptly halted their advance, the Indians were given the breathing spell they needed. The United States, Britain, West Germany, and Australia have been rushing military supplies to the ill-equipped Indian armies during the lull in the fighting. But this lull may not persist too much longer. The Chinese have been demanding a settlement of the border dispute on their terms, terms which Nehru has said are impossible to meet. The Chinese have begun to pull back from their furthest advances but they still retain the most militarily strategic areas. They still control area from which new attacks may easily be launched. Nehru knows the importance of the Chinese-held ground and refuses to recognize their claim as legal. He vows to recover it by force if necessary. While we go peacefully Christmas shopping or down to the gym to watch a basketball game, Indian Physical Activity Helps lo Keep Musician Trim for Conducting by Vicki Tatz Newest addition to the Music Department is Donald Marcase, presently director of the Wilkes College Band. Marcase comes to Wilkes with a wide background of experience. Although originally from Pittsburgh, he received his bachelor's and master's degrees in music at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. While a student at Cincinnati he taught there and played comet with the Symphony Orchestra. Subsequent to that he was director of music at Waynesburg College in Pennsylvania, taught secondary: school for two years in Ohio, was head of the department of music at Northwest Mississippi Junior College (where he met his wife), and attended Indiana University for three years, at which he is currently a candidate for his doctorate in musicology. Coincident with this, his main immediate objective is to complete his dissertation on the early history (circa 1605-1650) of the figured bass. For non-musicologists this means, roughly, how to play from the bass line. His long-range goal is to translate a trumpet treatise of the mid-eighteenth century. Marcase finds the history of music fascinating, as evidenced by his pleasure in having had the opportunity to transcribe some troubadour melodies. He also collects rare books on music and rare or limited editions of music books. The "pride and joy" of his collection is five columns of the 1782 edition of Rousseau's famous dictionary of music. ·Although the trumpet has been his major instrument, ever since he f:rst began playing it at the age of ten, he also is accomplished on the French horn, piano, and organ. He attributes his interest in music to his home environment, especially since his father is an amateur musician who has done some voice studies. Although he claims that he has no favorite composer aside from the one he happens to be performing at the time, he admits a partiality for Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart. As for modern music, he states that it is too soon to judge contemporary composers. Aside from music, Marcase also is an active sports fan. He enjoys basketball and has been an avid swimming fan since his days at Indiana. Also, he eagerly anticipates the spring in order to be able to start gard.e ning in the yard of his home in Shavertown. He considers physical activity a fine diversion which helps to keep him in trim for conductin2:. Questioned about his reaction to Wilkes, he stated that, "I am very impressed by the college, the student body, and the community in general. There is a serious atmosphere here; the students really want to learn. I want to develop the Wilkes band into the finest college band in the area, an outstanding musical organization. I look forward to a long stay at Wilkes and to the expansion of the Music Department." Plans are presently being formulated for Wilkes' annual interammunition. Supplies which may semester holiday.

However, not all the customs associated with the Season revolve around Jesus. When Pope Julius I (A.D. 337-352) established December 25 as marking the Nativity, he had in mind the belief that by introducing a Christian feast to be celebrated simultaneously with those of the pagans it would purify and preserve for the new faith whatever was innocent and deeply loved in the old. Since the Jewish Feasts of Lights, the Roman Saturnalis, the Scandinavian Yule, and the Winter Solstice were each celebrated around the 25th of December, it is easy to understand how so many of the customs surrounding this Christian Feast have pagan roots. Wilkes College traditions, then, reflect both the Ancient World and Christianity. Hospitality Hospitality-her first customgot its impetus with Mr. Denion's A Christmas Package TRES CHIC Mistletoe Mileage Everyone knows that should a girl be caught standing under a mistletoe she can expect to be kissed.

Caroling Songs Accepting the admonishment of one of the saints that "no one but man is fit to sing God's praises" the practice of Christmas Caroling has arisen. Wilkes has fallen in step with both light and serious heart. Wednesday evening Christine Bialogowicz led the underclassmen from the Gym to Chapman Hall in the annual Caroling. Chapman opened her doors to warm the hearty singers with refreshments. Evidently the same s p i r i t prompted the faculty to serenade the student body at Thursday's assembly. They picked their favorite songs and sent the students to vacation, a little gayer. Those passing the lengths of River Street may thank Dennison Hall for the wonderful music. Decorations Evergreens were first used for their ability to bring nature indoors - Nature was alive in all things to the Ancients. Decorations, too, date back to Roman days when it was common to hang little masks of Bacchus upon these to impart fertility to every side of the tree to which the wind turned the faces of these mask!!!. Christmas trees as we know them have lost touch with the Spirits as have their decorations. At Wilkes this fact is implied when one views the decor of Hollenback Hall's tree. It is ornamented with beer cans. We can't help wondering what sort of gifts the residents of this dorm will exchange around this tree! dinner for the dormitory students Sunday evening, December 9. Though the original Christmas feasts consisted of a Boar's Head Carol, the students realizing the cramped kitchen facilities were content with half-a-chicken each and general caroling.

Tisseyre, to describe !or us Christmas as it is celebrated m Provence, France. "On Christmas Eve the whole family sits down to a light meal (at which one eats thirteen desserts thirteen symbolizes the twelve apostles and one for the malheureux, the poor). "After this dinner one gets ready to leave for the midnight Mass. Everyone goes to church together. At the church all join in to sing carols, including 'II est ne le Divine Enfant.' The focal point of everyone's attention is the creche, a large representation of the nativity scene. Then follows the cortege (procession) led by the priest who places the baby Christ in the creche. Children dressed in the old provencal costumes and bearing a small lamb march after him. "Christmas in Provence, as in the United States, is a holiday for children, who place their shoes by the fireplace, and awake Christmas morning to find them filled with surprises. When all the presents have been opened and admired and the enfants sages (good children) are very happy, there is a party. The young people dance and feast. People promenades in the parks and streets of their town. At noon they eat a meal of turkey or goose. The dessert is a traditional Christmas cake, which is a chocolate version of the yule log." Universally, Christmas unites friends and relations who spend one happy day together exchanging gifts and sharing l'esprit du Noel. Sincerely yours, Marsha Hochberg Linda Ewing �~ Friday,.

ROSE BOWL.-TOURNE-YIN FINAL PREPARATIONS The "Rose Bowl of Wrestling" will again be spotlighted in the College gym on 'Deceinber 28 and 29 for the 31st annual Wilkes College Open Tournament, the largest ~d most publicized ' tourney in the nation. Each year hundreds of the most talented matmen in America battle for top honors of the ten individual championships, including the Bruce Blackman Award for the outstanding grappler (named after the former sports editor of the Times-Leader Evening News) and the High Point Trophy. Bob Bmno Kodokan Black Belt his black belt. In progressing to the level of a black belt, a student must master a number of moves, including some 28-30 major throws, 15 chokes, elbow .locks, and hold downs, plus achieving mastery in mat fighting. After gaining sufficient skill in these maneuvers, as decided by the instructor, the student demonstrates his skill in an actual judo match. If the student is to be advanced, the instructor sends his recommendation to one of the judo headquarters. The central headquarters in Kodokan, Japan, has the final say in issuing the black belt and other advancements. On the approval of the headquarters at Kodokan, the student received a certificate of his proficiency, and is authorized to wear the color of his rank. A student progresses from the white belt of a beginner to the brown belt of a semi-proficient. On the black belt level there are 10 degrees of proficiency. Bob also stated that Judo was gaining in popularity, and that it was entirely possible that it would be included in the next Olympic Games.

In 1931, local high school grapplers met and thus marked the first YMCA Open Tournament. With competition mounting and more sports enthusiasts being aroused over this growing sport, action was transfered from the Central "Y" to the Wilkes Gym in 1961, which provided more accommodations for the contest. This was the real start of the Wilkes Open. An official change of name in 1952 to the Wilkes College Eastern Open Wrestling Championship was brought about by the Wyoming Valley Wrestling Committee because of the large role that Wilkes played in arrangement for the tourney. The first year of action in the "Rose Bowl of Wrestling" found expectations of 100 wrestlers at the tournament. Instead, an overflow of 164 matmen entered and special arrangements had to be drawn up to accomodate them. Look Your Beat. .. Be Well Groomed! TONY'S So.

In conference play, they finished twelfth in a twelve team division, winning only a single conference game while losing 13. This season may very well be a repeat of the 1961-62 campaign. Last Saturday night, the cagers fumbled and stumbled their way to a 54-52 ·1oss to the Bombers of Ithaca College in a sloppily-played contest. That the Bo:inbers' squad will not be a contender for national honors, .or regional honors, or conference honors, is apparent. They may, God-willing, win a few more games. The !act is that the Bombers simply are not an effective basketball team. They are not exceptionally tall or fast and they lack an outside shooter. .. . . These glaring weaknesses of the men . fro:n;L Ithaca, did not deter our Colonels from losing to them. The .Wilkesmen, at times, appeared to be engaged in nothing more than a pick-up game similar to one we might find in a Phys. Ed. 101 class. A number of their plays resembled off-tackle slants and quarterback sneaks. Needless to say, such tactics did not work too well. Many factors contributed to the Colonels' shoddy performance. Captain Harvey Rosen, admittedly, had a bad night. Center Steve Gerko lagged on fast breaks and rebounded poorly. Coach Eddie Davis spent most of the evening shouting confusing, and often conflicting, orders to his charges. · Also, he spent his usual amount of time discussing the shortcomings of the referees. Wilkes strategy near the end of the game, also, was questionable. '· · If the Colonel cagers are to reverse their current losing trend, there must be a revamping of the basketball set-up. Any change would be welcome. With a view to the hardwood record of last year, and team's performance so far this season, one may quickly discern that the Colonels cannot get much worse. As it stands, the end of the drought .is not yet on the horizon. RETURN OF LITTLE Iq-{OWN FACTS Bill Mlkvy of Temple scored 73 pains· against Wilkes in a 1951 basketball contest.

Hurry, Hurry! Rush right down and pick up those last minute gifts." This urgent command by the authoritative voice of a radio announcer sent me rushing headlong through our hall the other day, in a trance-like stupor. In my extreme haste, my glazed eyes never noticed the disarray on the floor. Bang - Squeal - Clang - Rip - Oww .... Down I fell, into the midst of chaos, right on the tip of a branch of an aluminum tree bedecked with lights crazily blinking off and on and what seemed like a million little bells jangling in all tones - mostly harsh clangs. Much to my horror, I found myself surrounded by a giant, metallic "reindeer monster," an immense Yogi Bear rubber balloon, two dancing bears jitterbugging over my prostrate body, and a prancing, dancing little blond spirit repeating over and over in her high mechanical voice - I am a Barbie doll, comb my hair, dress me, feed me. A moment later, I realized that all was quite explainable - these were only Christmas gifts and decorations. But I still couldn't oblitera te my first horrible impression. Shocked by the impact of the fall or perhaps just brought back to reality by closer contact with "good old mother earth," I gazed around me astonishingly, feeling as if I had just regained my sight after many years of blindness. What holocaust had I released? .. Yes, holocaust - for that's the only word that could describe the whirring, buzzing, screaming, leering, man-made monstrosities around me. And then another disturbing thought came to me. Where was I going? I had done all my Christmas shopping weeks ago. As my head cleared, I realized that I had been almost hypnotized by that omniscient radio voice commanding me to "rush right down town." Spurred into action by the persistent pressure of the aluminum branch, I leaped up and glanced around at all my tormentors. I wondered at their ugly coldness - their look of mechanical glee. And yet l had brought them into my home. But how '! Surely not of my own volition. How could I ... "Don't be caught in the last minute rush." Once again that voice attempted catch me in its spell. That's the answer! With a sudden flash of insight I saw clearly that we were all in the clutches of that monstrous, anonymous voice, the voice of that master crew of magicians - the business agents, the merchandisers, the ''hidden persuaders" who have progressively modernized, almost mechanized, certainly monopoHzed Christmas. I reflected on the whole Christmas tradition and was shocked by how thoroughly they've taken over. "They" start organizing us for Christmas a year in advance. We all rush out, very efficiently, and start gigantic Christmas Clubs supposedly so we won't be caught short of cash for the holiday season. What w~ actually do is scrimp and save all year 'round so we can "blow it all" at Christmas. But try to buck the trend. Everyone who's anyone has a Christmas Club and the bigger the better. It's almost a status symbol. After all, we must have more money so that we can outdo our relatives in the annual "Christmas gift competition." And these gifts. Are they carefully chosen with love and affection and particular attention for each recipient? No, we just phone the "Personal Shopper' 'at the local department store and she not only chooses the gift, but has it gift wrapped, and sent out. We never even have to see it. Or better still, we can take a trip to New York, feed statistical information on Aunt Zelda into Macy's Christmas Gift Selector and out will pop a gift selected for her by this all-knowing, infallible creature. No fuss, no muss, no bother. And this no fuss - no muss - no bother extends to the Christmas tree - that age-old symbol of cheer. In an earlier day, groups of men and women full of comradeship and good cheer went out into the forest a nd cut down their own trees. Not for us - this physical effort - we once again call our Personal Shopper, order a 9' aluminum tree with balls already hung on every limb and we're set for a lifetime of Christmases. We don't cut our trees - we assemble and disassemble them - branch by cold, lifeless branch. And the scene beneath the tree - the nativity, the beauteous country scenes. They've given way to a modern "industrial society" scene - penthouses, factories, gas stations, airports, and split level bungalows. "They" have relegated us to a world of mass machine-typed signatures on greeting cards, static piped-in Christmas carols, neon lit, harshly glaring house decorations which obliterate the natural beauty of the winter scene, Santa Clauses of all sizes and shapes from pygmies to giants frightening to little children and adults alike, and Christmas tree lights that leave us in complete darkness when a single one fails. That does it! I've finally awakened. We must save Christmas. Armed with my razor sharp aluminum limbs, my shorted Christmas lights, and unbreakable "carolling record bludgeon", my stai~less steel reindeer abstract from the front lawn, an extremely pomted rocket from my "under-the-tree missile base, and my poisonous, instant Christmas snow spray, I'm going to march on the business district and declare war?

Carole explained that her father is subject to transfer at any time Carole Mayer and she would have no guarantee that the family could remain in South Africa for the duration of her college education. In an effort to avoid jumping from school to school, Carole decided to make the United States her home with the hope that her mother, dad, and brother might join her before she graduates.

He received his master's degree from Yale New Haven Co-operative Plan, and his doctorate in supervision and curriculum from the University of Connecticut, his thesis being "A Study of Free Public Education and Labor Unions - A Parallel in Progress." Besides teaching at Plattsburg Teachers College, N.Y. and Newark Teachers College, he has been a principal, a supervising superintendent, and superintendent of schools in various districts. Irony lent a hand to his career when, as superintendent, he had to interview many Wilkes graduates to fulfill teaching positions in his district. He got to know and like the college so well that he stayed. Concerning the calibre of Wilkes graduates, he said, "They've been simply great as teachers; they've done well in their prospective fields." He played the trombone in high school and has an appreciation of all kinds of music and art. His hobby is collecting coins and stamps. Asked if he believed in Santa Claus, he smiled and gave a succinct, "Sure." He plays the jolly saint annually to his two daughters, five and one-half years old Beth Alison and Margaret Ellen, three and one-half years old. When asked if he had any opinion concerning the controversial honor system, he replied, "I haven't really thought that much about it."

Previous experience, for instance, left her unprepared for the "doit-yourself" system in the United States.

" Fondest among her memories are those of Africa. She emphasized the group with which she made friends as being very "interesting" and "intelligent."

"Everyone discusses politics in Africa." Naturally enough Carole's major is political science. She plans to specialize in racial politics.

Music for this highlight of the social calendar of the scholastic year will be supplied by Herbie Green. Tickets, which are $4 a couple, will be sold at the door. Committee Prepares President of the club Erwin Guetig named the following committee: Bob Smith, Nick Stefanowski, publicity; Eddy Gavel, decorations; John Adams, tickets; Dick Morgan, invitations; Brooke Yeager, favors ; Bill Schwab, program. Gener al chairmen for the affair are Lettermen in final planning s tages for this evening's formal. Seated, left to right, are: Pete Winebrake, Erwin Guetig, and Jerry Mohn. Standing: Dick Morgan, Bob Smith, and Nick Stefanowski. "Focus" Panel Favors Censorship In Area of Obscene Lileralure i Pete Winebrake and Jerry Mohn. Decorations for the formal, done by T.D.R., will consist of an artfully constructed ceiling of red and green crepe paper. A gigantic fireplace will be featured, and the band will play against a Christmas scene backdrop. Birch and pine centerpieces will be placed on the tables, surrounded by candles. The receiving line will consist of Dean and Mrs. George Ralston, chaperones, and the committee members and their dates. Refreshments will be served. The idea of a Christmas formal was conceived about fifteen years ago to have at least one strictly formal affair available to the student body during the year. It is unique because it has remained the only formal affair on the social Early Arrival calendar.

The Beacon On last Sunday's "Focus" Program on WNAK Radio panelists Joyce Cavalini, William Carver, Alan Krieger, and Bob Sallavanti discussed "Censorship." Acting as moderator Dean of Men George Ralston opened WILKES COLLEGE • STUDENT WEEKLY the discussion by presenting the two alternatives to be taken into consideration in a discussion of censorship. Dean Ralston stated that some people believe truth can win out without any Vol. XXVII, No. 11 Wilkes-Barre, Penna. Friday, December 7, 1962 limitations placed on the media of communication while others believe that censorship is necessary to purge the media of communication of undersirable influences on society. ---+ In the general discussion panel- Debaters Go to Temple The College novice debaters won eight out of 16 rounds of debate last week at the annual Temple University Novice Debate Tournament in which 66 colleges participa t ed. The affirmative teams defeated the City College of New York, Iona College, and two Randolph Macon teams, while the negative defeated La Salle, Hofstra, and two teams from the City College of New York. Douglas Kistler scored the highest number of points for Wilkes. J ohn Campbell, varsity debater, acted as a judge along with facult y members Charlotte Lord and Dirk Budd, who also serve as coaches to the teams. Lynne Dente, a form er debater, accompanied the team as a critical observer. Those who participated in the tournament are : William Holmes, Douglas Kistler, David Levy, Carol Meneguzzo, Alis Pucilowsky, Rosemary Rush, Claire Sheridan, and James Tredinnick. This was a fine showing for the novices who have attended only 2 other tournaments this year - the first, a non-decision debate at Lehigh University and the second, a regular debate at Harpur. ist Joyce Cavalini pointed out that censorship should have limitations and should be enforced with regard to obscene literature. Along the same vein Bob Sallavanti stated that obscene literature corrupts our youth primarily because it is so easily obtainable at the corner drug store. He added, when the morals of our youth are corrupted, our moral standards as a nation are lowered. Regarding censorship from another angle Alan Krieger felt that censorship should not be used to keep historical facts from the public. He refeITed to Hitler's atrocities. Dean Ralston summarized that the panelists were against censorship in general but favored it in specific areas such as obscene literature. Bill Carver substantiated Dean Ralston's remarks by agreeing that censorship should function in certain areas. As an example he mentioned that a magazine such as "Esquire" should not be easily accessible to the ten or twelve year old child. According to Livingston Clewell, creator of "Focus," this week's topic will be "Morality at MidCentury." Panelists will be Kathy DeAngelis, Tom Halsted, Bernard Cohen, and Marshall Brooks. "Focus" can be heard every Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock on radio station WNAK. Collegians Add Spirit as TDR Hosts Golden Agers The annual TDR "Golden Agers' Party" will be held Wednesday afternoon at McClintock Hall, beginning at 2:00. Decorations will be in accordance with the Christmas season, and refreshments will be served. The Collegians will entertain, and Santa Claus will distribute gifts to the old folks, who are residents of area homes for the aged. The Lettermen will transport the guests to and from the party. Co-chairmen Andrea Petrasek and Kathy Scopic have announced the following aides: Barbara Karcheski, invitations; Lorraine Rome, refreshments; Judy Sisco, decorations; Dolores Chickanosky, entertainment; Irene Dorninguez and Adele Bernardi, favors. Annual Clinic Scheduled; Tax Laws To Be Discussed The Wilkes College Department of Commerce and Finance and the Northeastern Chapter of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants are jointly sponsoring the ninth annual tax clinic being held on campus today and tomorrow. Elmo M. Clemente, Institute chairman, has announced that the clinic has been arranged especially for 1 a w y e r s, accountants, bankers, and all others who require detailed knowledge of United States and Pennsylvania tax laws.

There is going to be "no dearth of markets for fossil fuels," even though the total power industry should be absorbed by nuclear installations, says the AEC. Free Food at JDC Party Sludenl Analyzes Crisis in India; v·Jews 3Ma1or . Infl uenc1ng . Forces by Fred Smithson "We are getting out of touch with a modem world. We are living in an artificial atmosphere of our own creation and we have been shaken out of it." By saying this, Jawaharlal Nehru began a reappraisal of his policy of non-alignment. To Nehru the policy of non-alignment was a "live and let live" doctrine-a doctrine which he has adhered to during the fifteen years of Indian independence whenever conflict with Communist ideology grew. The Prime Minister can no longer retain his outmoded ideas which were formed during the '20s and '30s. When the Chinese armies began to pour into the North East Frontier Agency and into Ladakh they forced a metamorphosis to take place within all of India. No man, woman, or child has been spared. One of the biggest changes has been in Nehru himself. He can no longer rationalize the actions of the Communists and save face with his people. The big question is how much of a change has taken place within him. Now that the Chinese have tempo- one which he can see whenever he rarily halted their advance will he goes to the North or the Northeast again revert to his policy of "live of India. and let live"? . The second forc e is that of his people. The people were aroused from their lethargy and forced to take notice of their neighbors to the north. They are cognizant of the fact that if China wanted to, it could have advanced much farther south. The people want to be able to defend themselves and will thus forc e Nehru to build a large army. The third force on Nehru, and the one considered most important, is the new advisers with which he has surrounded himself. His new Defense Minister is Y.B. Chavan. A strong nationalist against the British years ago, Chavan has the philosophy of going into battle to win. If victory cannot be gained, then the only alternative is death. Jawaharlal Nehru The commander-in-chief of the "Live and let live"? army is Lieutenant General J.N. There are three forces acting on Chaudhuri who saw action in the Nehru.

Perhaps if the campus would produce one such masterpiece each week the Beacon could publish a "Letters" column once in a while. Evidently the ordinary world-wide, national, local, and campus activity does not furnish thought-provoking ideas. That is one possibility. The other possibility-that apathetic college people just don't care what happens-is one that this editor will not even mention. Too gruesome is the thought! Of course the campus thinks about an honor code, about the yearbook, about student seminars, about controversial issues in its newspaper. One can hear it thinking about these things in the cafeteria, in the library, and during classes, not to mention between classes and in lavatories. The campus appears to be just too frightened to make its thoughts public. Don't be afraid, campus. Write letters to the paper. We'll protect you. G.M.Z. Last Chance Material in next week's Beacon will cover the dates December 14 through January 10. Any club or organization planning an activity during that time must make the information available to the newspaper staff before that Tuesday evening. Deadline is 5 p.m. See any member of the staff, or bring said information to the office, Pickering, second floor. Priority in story length and placement in the paper will be given to those stories which will arrive early. Adequate coverage demands that the deadline be met. G.M.Z.

Edgerton It's no secret by now that the Wilkes College production of The Music Man was (excuse the expression) "Swell." Daily papers raved for three days over the boxoffice success of the musical play that even turned away hund1·eds last Saturday for lack of seats, despite the bad acoustics in some parts of the hall. Obviously, too, despite The Music Man appearing on Broadway and in local movie houses, whoever chose this play knew the territory. Or maybe they just knew Wilkes students, for the success of the play in the last analysis depended on hard-wo1,king undergraduates. Of course, members of the community made the play possible. What would The Music Man have done without the professional help of Cathal O'Toole, set designer, or Jozia Mieszkowski and Barbara Weisberger, choreographer and dance consultant. And no mention of the play is complete without cheers for the support in the cast LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor : Why should a professor of philosophy, no more an expert on musical comedies than "Professor Hill" on musical instruments, wish to write about "The Music Man?" Well, were I not afraid to appear solemn, I'd answer by that . wellknown quotation about the heart having reasons which reason does not understand. The less pretentious way of answering, though, is to simply state that I felt the irrepressible urge to say one final "thanks" to those "over 200 people" (especially to those who will remain unmentioned even in this letter), whose· talents, ambition, time, patience, and !'esprit de corps have made this unusual pre-Christmas gift to the community possible. Let me make clear that I am not moved by the plot of Meredith Willson's musical. The story is that all-too familiar piece of American theatrical folklore: We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are equally good and that if you scratch a crook you'll find the heart of a Santa Claus. The sight of a marching band of kids and of two young people falling in love washes away not only a multitude of sins, but a multitude of inhibitions too; just beneath a thin veneer of respectability, every mayor of a Midwestern town is a potential Charles Laughton or Maurice Chevalier, and every housewife a potential Ziegfeld girl. It is as soapy as the most improved recent detergent, and as corny as Kansas in August (if you'll excuse the expression - and the plagiarism). But there are redeeming features, of course. The music is pleasing, the rhythm contagious, the pre-World War I setting in River City brings back nostalgic memories of a less complicated world, the choreography is colorful and the opening train-scene is one of the more ingenious devices in show business. Still, it is not the play but the performance that has prompted this letter. The show was a resounding success. Al Groh's directing was forceful and sensitive. Bob Lovett needed all the authority of a department chairman and all the skill of an experienced conductor to effect the blending of such a vast and unwieldy array of musical talent -r anging all the way from professionals and perfectionists to beginners - and he did an exceptionally fine job. The sheer number and exuberance of the participants in the choruses made Dick Chapline's work much easier. The soloists were more than adequate. Acting was excellent most of the time; the only fault I can think of is the occasionally poor enuncia- 1 Dear Editor, tion and diction.

Wilson Coach John Reese's wrestlers have started practice for the upcoming campaign which includes an eight-meet schedule and the MAC Tournament. Eliminations will be held next Tuesday and Wednesday for the starting berths and interested spectators are invited to attend these eliminations. The Colonels have eight returning lettermen including Ned McGinley, Dave Puerta, Ron Henney, Nick Stefanowski, John Gardner, Harry Vogt, Bob Ainsworth, and Bob Herman. Several underclassmen are vying for star•ing berths including Dick Burns, Tim Adams, Chip Reilly, Jim Bamerick, Dick Dugan, Joe Easley, Jim McNew, and Jim Lisowski. Chuck Adonizio also expects to join the squad, but is currently recuperating from a knee injury suffered this football season. The Colonels posted a 4-2-2 record last year and are working hard to be MAC champs again. Last weekend t h e wresters worked out at Stevens Trade School and this weekend they travel to West Point to meet the Cadets in an exhibition meet. The regular season opens on Dec. 14 with a match at Ithaca. Tomorrow night, the Colonel dribblers will again take the home court when they meet the Bombers of Ithaca College. The Bomber squad boasts eight lettermen, including four of the five starters from last year's squad. Their starting lineup will probably consist of John Hewes, 6'5", Bill Schutz, 6'4", George Strickland, 6'5", Don Fazio, 5'8", and Tom Vogt, 6'.

Pa. 3 Barons Drop Fourth to Billies; Edged by Scranton Minersi 103 -102 Last weekend proved a stormy one for the Wilkes-Barre Barons as they dropped two games in Eastern League competition. The first defeat came at the hands of Williamsport, giving the Billies their first victory of the young campaign. Sunday night also proved unfortunate for the Barons as they were barely wipped by the Scranton Miners, 103-102. Williamsport started off slowly against the Barons, waiting six minutes to score their first goal. The Billies, however, managed to catch the Barons at the end of the first quarter, thanks to Ed O'Connor who tallied 12 for the night. In the closing seconds of the first half, the Billies captured a 43-41 lead via a stolen ball and a Carl Green basket. With John Chaney, Julius McCoy, and Green supplying the Individual Grid Stats punch, Williamsport acquired a PASSING sizeable lead in the third quarter. PA PC YG Pct.
