In view of the poor response of former years - 30 to 40 pints from a student body of over 1,000additional beds and personnel have been obtained to ease congestion, solicitors have been named to mobilize donors, and an appointment schedule has ,been instituted to economize minutes for the student. To reach the quota of 200 pints, each men's dormitory is being asked for 7, while the women's dorms are requested to donate 4 each. The remaining student body, it is hoped, will complete the total. Count will be taken for residents by the dormitory presidents; whereas commuting students will be solicited by their respective class presidents: Cathy DeAngelis, freshman class; Jim Jones, sophomore class; Brent O'Connell, junior class; and Joe Shambe, senior class. Pat Rossi of the Education Club, and Bill Carver of Circle K will also assist in registering donations. Any student in good health is qualified to give ,blood. Pledge cards rmay be obtained from any of the above solicitors. Annual Band Concert Held at Slippery Rock; Five Musicians Attend by Mary DiGiuseppe Five students from the music department have been selected to represent the college at the Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Band Festival, held this year at Slippery Rock, in western Pennsylvania. They are: Donald Jones, senior music education major, oboe; Robert Eike, senior music education major, bassoon; Edward Yadzinski, senior music education major, clarinet; Donivee Miller, sophomore music education major, French horn; and Raymond Nutaitis, senior music education major, tuba. The festival, which began yesterday and will continue today and tomorrow, is an annual affair and will culminate in a concert tomorrow night. Guest conductor will be Mr. Leonard Falcone, director of bands at Michigan State University. The Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Band, 144 members strong, consists of outstanding music students from 35 colleges and universities throughout the state, and as such, may be considered as a sort of honor group. It is one of the oldest collegiate bands now in existence. Mr. Larry Weed, music faculty member and also member of the Pennsylvania Collegiate Band association, will accompany Wilkes students to the festival as chaperon. He will also take part in the Intercollegiate Band Conference being held during the Festival. Mr. Weed's member in the PCBA enables Wilkes students to participate in the Band Festival. by Barbara A. Lore Sound the humpets - strike up the brass band - roll out the red carpet - the "Duke" is coming to town. That "blue blood" of the jazz elite, Duke Ellington, will reign at the Junior Class Jazz Concert tomorrow evening in the gym. To satisfy the community interest in the Duke's visit, WBAX will broadcast a personal interview with him either on Friday evening or Saturday afternoon, depending on his arrival An offer was even received by the committee in charge to broadcast the entire concert, but feeling that this would defeat the purpose of the "live show," the committee refused. BecaW1e of the splendid cooperation Bernard Cohen, publicity chairman, received from the local television, radio, and newspaper media, no one in the valley will have an excuse for missing this "audience" with the "Duke".

President -Alumni Seminar Set For Tomorrow Evening in Commons Secondary Students Are Guests Of Education Club This Tuesday �wn.n:s 2 EDITORIALS-- Give A Minute - Save A Life The date of the semi-annual Wilkes College Blood Donor Day has been .set .for April 4. In the past, those wishing to contribute blood had to go to the Red Cross Blood Center to do so and were often faced with annoying delays. As a result of this, and no doubt as a result of other factors as well, blood contributions by Wilkes students in the past have amounted to about thirty or forty pints per campaign. This year; in an · effort to in c r e a s e the student contribution to this all important program, Blood Donor Day will be conducted is the gymnasium. Numerous doctors and nurses will be present to enable the student to make his contribution as quickly as possible. With this improvement in the blood donor program, no student who is eligible to give blood should fail to do so next Wednesday. A goal of 200 pints has been set for the student body which consists of about 1200 members. This means, that if only one-sixth of the total student body donates a pint of blood, the goal will be reached. It takes so little of one's time, and yet means so much. The goal of 200 pints is very small as compared with the tremendous potential available on our campus. We all realize that there are many who for various reasons : are unable to give blood, but these exceptions are few. Every healthy man or woman, however, can safely donate blood five .times a year. Blood Donor Day comes to campus just twice a year and the opportunity should be met by all who are able to contribute. Giving blood is safe and easy. Receiving blood means life to thousands each year. It is time that we as students assumed some of the responsibilities of adulthood. Take the time and make ·the effort on Wednesday to do your share for your fellow man. Give blood . . . and help save a life. It will cost you nothing cincl the reward is one whichcannot be measured by any human standard. Welcome Hampton ... . . This weekend marks the first phase of the annual Wilkes. Hampton exchange program. We of the Beacon would like to Jake. this opportunity to .welcome these students to our campus . and. to extend to them best wishes for an enjoyable weekend. •. Mtitji cc;m be gotten from this annual program. In addition to the entertainment factor involved, much can be learned by both •parties involved regarding life on another campus. The improvemertls in all phases of collegiate life made by both Wilkes and Hampton can be greatly beneficial. · Alumni Seminar Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, Congratulations A s h l e y Hall! Once again you have proven your virility, perseverance, and maturity to the whole campus. Ashley Hall, which year after year allows us to share the knowledge of its Albert Einsteins, admire the agility of their Spartan athletes, and chuckle at the satire of their Swifts and Steeles, has done it again! By combining all of their talents, abilities, and the like, they played the role of Jason and daringly stole Butler Hall's golden fleece, a flag symbolizing years of unity, scholarship, and leadership. Only there were no minotaurs, Medeas, or Argoses to contend with when the "men" stole into Butler Hall's lounge at 3 :30 a.m. and sneaked off with the flag. Rather, Ashley Hall's representatives did what any common thief, or otherwise misguided individual could have done if he so wished. I iimagine that the realization that this flag is a symbol of what Ashley Hall has never been able to achieve probably spurred these idiotic Jasons into action. Regretfully, Michael Landesman, Butler Hall Debate Society Travels To New York City For C. W. Post Meet The Debate Society will attend a three-round debate tournament tomorrow at C. W. Post College on Long Island, New York. The debate question is "Resolved: That labor unions should be under the jurisdiction of anti-trust legislation." Debating the affirmative side of the question are Lynne Dente and John Campbell, and opposing the resolution are Jerome Krasa and John Pikulski. On the following Saturday, the group will travel to City College of New .York, uptown campus, for a tournament. There will be a change on the team. Andy Majikas . will replace Campbell on the affirmative team. The final debate will occur at Bucknell University. The Good Neighbor Tournament is an annual affair, and it will be held this year on April 14, 1962. At each of the tournaments, the top three teams will receive awards. Seminars have made frequent appearances in the news · lately and no doubt much profit has been gained from such gatherings. Tomorrow evening, a step forward in the area of alumni development will take place when the first President'sAlumni Seminar is conc;lucted. The planning of such a conference14i itself recognizes the need for the establishment of .a progr~ which will · bring the alumni into closer contact with the college. The seminar is a means which will aid greatly in shortening the gap which develops between the graduate and the college after the individual leaves the campus. ···· Several other purposes will be fulfilled by such a conference. In addition to bringing alumni from widely-scattered areas closer together and to the college, the session will also provide an opportunity for the free expression of opinions, many pf which may contribute greatly to the development of the college. Our alumni represent a wide variety of fields of endeavor Humor in Uniform and their professional opinion, accented by their personal ex- Reprint from The Reader's Digest perience with the college will prove invaluable.

STUDENT SKETCH Krasa Chooses Legal Profession/ Speaks of Debate Experience by Gloria Zaludek "Unaccustomed as I am to public speaking ... ', thus began this interview with a senior who is undoubtedly one of the best public speakers on campus - Jerome Krasa of Hanover Township. "Modest Jerry," as he is known to his friends, is a senior political science major who has had three years' experience with the Wilkes Debate Society and previous debate experience as a member of the Hanover Township High School debate team. Jerry has also coached a group of high school student debaters of Jewish Community Youth. Of his debating experience Jerry says, "Traveling and exchanging views with students on other campuses is both exciting and educational. I've enjoyed travelling with the debate team, and I believe this speaking experience will prepare me for my chosen profession." Jerry intends to study law, and has been accepted to Vanderbilt Law School in Nashville, Tennessee-how will he possibly lose a case with such a well-modulated, and expressive, voice? Active in other segments of campus life, Jerry was named to Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. He is a Dean's List student, and a member of his class executive council, the Court of Appeals, the Beacon staff, and a former member of CCUN, the engineering club, and SAM. He was also chairman of "Students for Kennedy .and Johnson" on campus. Readers will remember his articles written for the Beacon last year in the Krasa-Robertson debate on the political campaign. An avid baseball fan, Jerry also enjoys reading "although I was once told that reading wasn't a hobby." He paused, then added, "I like to sing, but don't mention that since my voice sounds like a warped record." All right, Jerry, we won't mention it. Having changed his major from engineering to political science, he has had the opportunity to take a variety of courses on campus. "I Jerome Krasa - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - < ' > have learned ,much from my courses, primarily because the proSpanish Club Offers Film; fessors in their respective fields are not only well-versed, but also Hemingway Is Narrator interested in their subjects.

Mr. Joseph Kanner, instructor, psychology dept. Yes, I would build a shelter! To prepare for the worst while I work for the best, whatever the best or worst might be. And what if the worst becomes a nuclear holocaust, a nightmare of destruction, would I want to survive in such a world? Yes, I would want to survive in such a world! To rebuild. To recreate. To reach once again for the moon, the stars, the universe. To ask once again the same questions and hope for better answers. Why? If you must ask, you wouldn't understand. No answer would satisfy you. Barbara Lore, sophomore, English major I believe that building a fallout shelter at the present time would be a waste of time, energy, and money. Not only has modern technology dimaned the prospect of a nuclear war but also the "package deal" fallout shelter kits on the market are inadequate for the prolonged protection which would be necessary after a nuclear attack. Unfortunately that fallout shelter idea has ,been misused by unscrupulous people seeking a "quick buck." George Gavales, senior, political science major I wouldn't build or live in a fallout shelter any more than I would live in a cave or a tree house. People who build fallout shelters forget one important fact: the next war can only be won if never fought. Burrowing in holes, surrounding ourselves with concrete walls, and storing canned water sold at exhorbitant prices does nothing to prevent the next war. Such action simply adds a touch of grim humor to a situation that is deadly serious. Dr. Frederic E. Bellas, Associate Professor of Physics Your q u e s t i o n might be reworded as "Would you want to survive a nuclear war and be part of a post nuclear war society?" My survival instinct wants to answer "Yes," but my spirit wants to answer "No." I should not, therefore, build a shelter. �Friday, March 30, 1962 Wil.KFS COLLEGE BEACON Shawneeiles Win American Crown Circle-K Will Operate 1-M Softball Leagues; As Nalional Playoffs Continue Last Call for Rosters In a modem marathon of speed and endurance the Shawneeites ended the long American Intramural Basketball League trials with one last scoring surge to capture their league laurels. The long awaited clash with their National League counterparts was further delayed by a maze-like" playoff series to determine the leading team. At last count four teams were battling for play-off berths in the junior circuit. Taking the lead with a beginning tally of ~our co~secutive goals, the Shawnee1tes gamed a lea<_! ov~r the He:1ds that they never rel~ng~nshed. Quick goal~ b~ Matt H1mlm _and Stan Karm1loVIch gave the highflying Indians their opening scores before "Head" Wruble put the Pi_ttston~en on the score-board with a Jump-shot. .. The Plymouthmen ut1hzed a fastbreak to take a commanding lead at the half as the Heads were on Fair Weather Or Foul the short end of a 39-22 score. In the third period the Heads put a full-court press into operation. With Bond and Carver scoring and Len Yankosky sweeping the backboards clean the Heads cut the Shawneeite ~argin to a scant three points. With two minutes left in the period, the five ironmen of Plymouth rallied to up their lead to nine points 49-40 at the threequarter ma;k. ' Final period action found the Shawneeites opening an explosive attack which sent thirty-two points onto their score while the Heads could only tally twelve markers. The Heads lost their star rebounder, Len Yankosky, in the final minutes and could not recover to catch the rampaging Indian tribe. Final score was 81-52. All five Shawneeite performers tallied in double figures with George Tensa netting 20, Matt Himlin and Stan Karmilovich 16, Bob "Snuffy" Smith 17, and John Tensa 12. "Head" Wruble led their opponents with 14 counters as Bond added 12 and Carver lO to the losing cause. Ron Musselman and Larry Gubanich handled the officiating chores. CL' CO. INC. IN2 This year the intramural softball league will operate under the auspices of the newly-formed Circle K Club. Club officers ask that rosters be turned in as early as possible in order that games may be scheduled. Rosters will be assigned by Mr. Reese or Mr. Dydo, or may ,b e deposited in the Circle K mailbox at the Bookstore. As in the past, games will be played on Mondays and Thursdays, beginning in the near future. The teams will again be divided into two leagues. Taking over the league this season, the Circle K Club plans to innplement some changes in hopes of improving the league. Today, sheets on which students may place suggestions for improving the league will be distributed in the cafeteria and Parrish Hall. These will be collected by the Club, and any useful suggestions will be put into effect. Posters will be placed at both ends of campus. On these, information pertinent to the league ( cancelled games, makeup games, etc.) will be placed before a specified ttme. This will circumvent great inconvenience on the part of commuting students. Another possible innovation will be an all-star game to be staged at the end of the season. This game would take place after the threegame championship series between the leaders in each lague. It has b e e n proposed that individual trophies be given to members of the championship team.

Last season the Dydomen blasted the Mules 11-4, as they connected for fifteen singles behind the steady nine-hit hurling of Mike Schwefel. The forces from uhlenberg on their home field will be seeking to reverse this humiliation. Coach Dydo has been drilling the squad for the past few weeks and will be going into the opening engagement with a team composed essentially of underclassmen.

Overpopulation has become a major crisis in an age when the infant mortality rate has been lowered and the life expectancy has increased. Experts estimate that ultimately at the present rate of reproduction there will be only one square mile of living area per person. The controversy centers around the means to r~duce the ever-increasing poulation explosion and its resulting effects. Last Thursday, Mr. Joseph Kanner, instructor in the psychology department, led the seminar group in a discussion on "Censorship and Individual Responsibility." Mr. Kanner introduced his remarks by briefly discussing the cause of delinquency, one of which is, supposedly, obscene material. The controversy arises, he said, when a society tries to determine what will be censored and who will ,b e censored and who will do the censoring. In certain cases, legislation against obscene literature would not ,b e effective because parents often do not know, or cannot control, what their children read. Then too, surrendering individual responsibility in one area leads to surrendering responsibility in other areas, thus reducing all freedom. At the conclusion of the discussion, the group hadn't found a workable definition of who should censor what material. The A WS seminar discussions are open to all students interested in thought-provoking conversation. ForPi~n Movie Based On French Novel To Be Presented The Red and the Black, a movie based on the novel by Stendahl, has received international acclaimation. In 1 9 6 4, it was awarded the Grand Prix of the Academie du Cinema. Students will have the opportunity to see this classic on Monday and Tuesday in Stark 116. Stendahl based his novel on an , opportunist's career in the ninej teenth century French society. It I was one of the first psychological novels. The sensitiveness of the novel can be found in the title. The main character, Julien Sorel, was born too late to ,b e a member of Napoleon's arnny, accounting for the red in the title. For this reason, it necessitated Sorel to direct himself toward the priesthood. As the story progresses, the character struggles to surmount the obstacles placed by class society. · The Language Department will' Seek and Ye Shall Find The well-dressed student can show the film at three different, claim the following of his belong- times.

The impresario brings his orchestra to the gym next Saturday evening at 8:30 o'clock for the Junior Class Jazz Concert. Contrary to popular opinion, Duke Ellington's music is not the type that is confined to the back street "dives" of our larger cities. His listeners range from the lovers of "le jazz hot", through fans of long hair, to that noble group of modem young Americans, the Twisters. Because each of these groups can find something of merit in Ellington's music that has remained on the American musical scene since the early 1920's. Such works as his Mood Indigo have set the pace of contemporary American music. His appeal to all age and social groups is shown in some of his recent works. He composed and recorded the score for the movies Anatomy Of A M:Urder and Paris Blues as well as the score for the television series Asphalt Jungle. Serious audiences have, too, accepted his work. He was the first bandleader to "crack" Carnegie Hall and has returned there annually since 1943 to premiere a major work. He appears yearly at Acamemy Hall in Philadelphia and at the Civic Opera in Chicago. His composition Harlem was commissioned by the NBC Symphony Orchestra when that group was led by Arturo Toscanini. Yet, his works also receive wide popular acclaim. In recent years, he has recorded many albums and long play records which enjoy widespread circulation. Because hi~ works become and remain standards his appeal to all age groups increases continually. Editor's Note Students can judge the results of this extensive background for themselves next Saturday evening for a general admission charge of $2. Tickets can be purchased at the Square Record Shop or from members of the junior class. Reserve seat tickets cost $3.50 and reservations can be made by calling VA 3-9003 or by writing Conrad Wagner, in care of the College. Music Students Present Varied Compositions At Next Assembly Radio Club Expands Station Equipment To Achieve Goal The Amateur Radio Club has reached their goal of owning a complete set of equipment for their radio station. This was achieved with the purchase of a receiver set. Previously, the radio equipment used by the club was owned by individual members with the result that when a member graduated, the group lost the use of that person's equipment. "Having a complete set of equipment will help the club attain a permanent status among the activities of campus," says Richard Emmel, president of the ARC. As the students who eat lunch in the Commons know, the members of the Amateur Radio Club provide an announcement service during lunch hours. Each Tuesday and Thursday at noon, John Biga, secretary of the ARC and a radio announcer for WPTS, broadcasts announcements concerning campus activities by way of the PA system in the Commons. There is no charge for this service and any member of the faculty or student body may have announcements made by placing the information in the Amateur Radio Club mailbox in the bookstore. Another current activity of the Radio Club is that of advising the School Spirit Committee now in the process of •p urchasing equipment for a new public address system to be used at college activities. As for the future, the club members are making long range plans which will probably be completed sometime during the next school year. These plans include the initiation of a radiogram service, and the establishment of a college "net." The amateur radio clubs in other colleges will arrange to be on the air at the same time, thus enabling them to have discussion. Officers of the ARC for the spring semester are as follows; president, Richard Emmel; vicepresident, William Shukis; secretary, John Biga; treasurer, Jerry Berk. Members of the music department will present a varied program consisting of choral and instrumental music in assembly next Thursday. The Women's Chorus will begin the program by presenting several folk songs, including three lively HUngarian Folk Songs and two American folk songs, Ten Little Indians and I have Decided To Be An Old Maid.

It was also brought out that the sophomore class is circulating a petition on campus for an increase in library hours. Any member of the student body may sign this petition. Government members passed a motion to make this year's Cinderella Ball semi-formal. The vote was eight in favor three against, and one abstention. A committee is investigating the possibility of having a name dance band at this year's ball.

Naval Information Team On Campus Next Week A Navy Information Team will visit the campus on March 27 and 28 to discuss the Navy Officer Candidate School Program with interested students. The Information Team will hold the discussions in the Commons. The Navy Officer Candidate School is a program whereby young men with college degrees may obtain commissions after four months of schooling at Newport, Rhode Island. Applications for selection may be submitted at any time after completion of the junior year. In order to qualify a student must have a college degree, be a citizen of the United States, and be between the ages of 19 and 27. Classes convene at Newport every two months. Applications are now being accepted for the 1962 classes. �Friday, March 23, 1962 • WIUES COLLEGE BEACON 2 EDITORIALS- Student Government Aid A group of students at the University of Colorado recently formed a campus political party called the Students' Council of Political Education (SCOPE). According to a spokesman for the party, the group aspires "to a daring concept of education and dedication to ideals which can make student government more responsible to the students as a whole." By inviting political leaders to speak before the group, SCOPE plans to mold both farsighted and practical leadership. The group is not designed to serve as a critical body to the student government, but rather to aid the campus salons by keeping students informed of the activities of their leaders and by helping the individual students to understand the problems encountered in working toward the various goals of the student government. Such an organization recognizes a need prvalent on many campuses today, that is, the need for a liaison b.e tween campus leaders and the students they represent. Forums are held at which time problems common to all students are aired. Programs such as this, which provide the general student body with an opportunity to meet with and question the policies of student leaders are beneficial to all concerned and in many instances, small problems may be solved before larger problems develop. Peace Corps' Birthday The Peace Corps recently celebrated its first anniversary and the accomplishments which it has made during the past year have brought a great deal of attention to the program. Since its inception, the Corps has sent trained, qualified personnel to work in twelve foreign countries. Although criticism of the program ran high at its beginning, the effort put forth by the Corps has proven the idea worthy of acclaim. In addition to the good will it is building up abroad through its many services, the Peace Corps is also providing a great service here at home in the training which is being offered to our young people through the program. The services which will be rendered by these people upon their return to the United States will be invaluable. Applications for the Peace Corps have been received from every state in the union, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam. The Corps has selected 698 volunteers from a group of 18,000 applicants. President Kennedy has asked that the Peace Corps budget be increased to $63,750,000, an increase of some $33 million over this year. With this, he plans to have some 6,700 volunteers in the field by mid-1963. If present high standards are continued, this increased amount will be justified. The Peace Corps is a powerful force for good in a world torn by bitter threats and accusations. Extensive Laboratory Equipment Planned for Slark Extension by Barbara A. Lore An x-ray laboratory, radioactive laboratory and storage room, instrument shop, several research laboratories, and a science library are only a few of the features to be included in the new research center of Wilkes College, according to Dr. Daniel Detwiler, Chairman of the physics department.

Our special thanks, too, to the Public Relations Office-Mr. Livingston Clewell, and Mrs. Barbara Fritz; to the Sports Publicity Office-Mr. Arthur Hoover; to the Beacon - Mr. Wayne Thomas and Miss Mary Frances Barone; and to our chaperones and class adviorsMr. Gordon Roberts and Mr. George Elliott. Sincerely, Jim Jones Class of 1964 Music Education Major Gives Advice on Advanced Study by Gloria Zaludek A jet may take people to the moon, but what will they do when they get there? Senior music education major Robert Eike has the answer, "Listen to music, of course." And perhaps by that time it will be Bob's music that moon travelers will be listening to. In the interim, however, Bob plans to study for his master's degree and teach. He is presently student teaching in the city grade schools. Unlike the other fields in student teaching which enable seniors to spend eight consecutive weeks teaching in one school, music education majors student teach during both semesters of their senior year in various area schools. Bob taught general music last semester at G.A.R junior high school. This semester he is teaching instrumental groups in the local grade schools. Shilanski Attends CCUN Regional Conference; Varied Topics Discussed Jerry Shilanski, state chairman of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations, attended the Middle Atlantic Regional Conference of the CCUN in Washington, D.C. on March 10 through 13. The purpose of the Conference was to coordinate the activities of the CCUN chapters in the region and to discuss methods for solving the problems which arise among the member nations of the United Nations. Robert Eike The region is comprised of the _______________ A States of Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware and the District of Columbia. It was repre- TRJ;:S CHIC sented by 100 students, the number of those attending being restricted to provide a more personal nature to the Conference. Colors In Leather Brighten Spring Scene In conjunction with the CCUN conference, the American Association for the United Nations was conducting its 12th annual meeting of national organizations. The program of the CCUN conference merged with that of the AA UN from Sunday evening through Tuesday. During this time, various groups were held with the subjects ranging from "A Disarmed World With Law" to "A World Without Want." The delegates were addressed by people in government, business, and labor. Some of the experts were Harlan Cleveland, Assistant Secretary of State, Calvin Kytle, director of public relations of the Nationwide Insurance Company, and Walter Reuther, president of the United Auto Workers of America. U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Adlai E. Stevenson addressed the final luncheon of the Conference. from a budding two-year undergraduate program to a fast-blooming graduate program. The graduate center is the college's contribution to the community drive to attract new industry since Radio Corporation of America, a recent acquisition located here with the stipulation that such a center should be created. The value of this program has been proved by the fact that, since its inception last fall, it has attracted students from a variey of industries and institutions of higher learning including RCA, Mountaintop, TungSol, Hazleton, Silvania, Towanda, and Marywood College, Scranton. Although at present only two courses, an advanced chemistry and an advanced physics course are offered, additional courses will be offered in subsequent semesters. An evidence that this progress is being noted by outside sources is that Dr. David Lazarus, of the University of Illinois, who recently visited Wilkes as guest lecturer sponsored by the American Institute of Physics, praised Wilkes' progress as noteworthy and atypical of a small, community college. Patent leather in luscious candy colors, lime orange, toffy, and strawberry, has hit the scene for spring-see it in bags, shoes, belts and hats. Shoes in patent and other leathers are biggest news items when they have oval toes and lowered heels. The "spectator pump" is a classic, revamped this year into an azure fahion hit.-Wear it in patent for daytime, gilt snakeskin for evening. Bag s are worn over the shoulder, under the arm, or just about anywhere you want. Must they match the shoes ?-prefeably not, harmony in leather and color is better than a direct match. Petite berets and great straw rollers will be perched on the smartest heads this spring. Of course, for the romantics there are bows of all sizes. Be a little daring with your accessories this spring, try something new, if you do, you're sure to be the star of the Easter parade. Myriad of Activities On Psy-Soc Club Schedule Newly elected officers have planned an active schedule of public service and private enjoyment for the remaining months of the semester. Beginning this week several members of the club under the leadership of Dr. Robert Riley, chairman of the Psychology department, and Dr. Hugo Mailey, chairman of the department of political science, will take part in a redevelopment survey for the WilkesBarre area. This survey will involve interviewing families who live in the area to be redevelo·ped and finding · their attitude toward the change. The trip to the Wilkes-Barre Veterans Hospital which had been planned for the immediate future has been cancelled but will probably take place after Easter. During the weekend of May 4 some Psych-Soc members will be in New York where they will visit New York and Cornell Univerities. They will also vis.it the brother of Mr. Joseph Kanner, the club's adviser, who is presently conducting Bob does not, however, have to wait for space travel for recognition, since he has gained campus distinction as director of the Collegians, as a Dean's List student, and a member of Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities. Incidentally, the male chorus under Bob's direction was given the "best assembly" award last year. Bob is also a member of the chamber music and woodwind ensembles, the student MENC for music educators, and the oratory society. This student leader plays bassoon for the Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic, for the Stegmaier Gold Medal Band, and for the Wilkes band. For three years he has performed in The Intercollegiate Band Festivals, and this year will appear in the Choral Festival. He plans to give his senior recital in the gymnasium in early i',fay. Bob, who is a former member of the madrigals and the mixed chorus, but he admits having been manager for his Coughlin High School basketball team. His versatiliy has secured for him two unusual parttime jobs. He worked in the College book store for two years, and he was a member of a summer dance band, "The Mello Tones," which entertained at various Pocono Mountain resorts. (As a member of this seven-man band Bob played saxophone - an instrument which he theretofore had never played.) Although Bob has enjoyed his yearg at Wilkes, he feels that the College is suffering from the lack of an adequate fine arts building. "We definitely need areas for concert presentations, and . practice rooms for music students." he said. "Despite this handicap of adequate space, however," he continued, "I have found that .om' campus music department is doing a superb job in preparing students for a career in music. "We have here excellent teachers and certainly a variety of courses both interesting and valuable." To prove that the music department's standards are high, Bob cited the instance of three Wilkes musicians having been selected to play first chair in last year's Intercollegiate Band Festival. He forsees, also, Saturday classes at the College, since many students now find their class schedule tightly packed. Saturday classes will, he feels, give music majors much needed time for extra practice. When this reporter asked him what he wanted most, Bob answered, "Time!" He explained that music majors must spend four or five hour in daily practice. The experience is invaluable to a prospective teacher. Bob added that teachers should begin to stress music theory in the junior high schools, instead of simply teaching pupils how to sing. To be adequately prepared to teach, he thinks it necessary for college graduates to work toward their master's degrees as soon after graduation as possible. experiments for the federal government. The new officers elected for the spring semester are Joseph Gelli, president; Thomas Ferris, vice president; Barbara Savitski, secretary; Mike Winslow, treasurer; Jeannettee Bucholtz, social chairman. " �WD..KES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, March 23, 1962 Intramural Playoffs Near End; Heads, Shawneeites in Finals Basketball's top three post-season tourneys - National Invitational Tourney, NCAA Tournament, and the Wilkes Intramural Hoop Extravaganza - come to an end in the near-future with the NIT and NCAA tourneys crowning titlists tomorrow and the "King of Kampus Kourt" gaining the throne next week. In the final league playoffs, the Heads and Shawneeites battle for top laurels in the American League while a four-team contingent seek top status in the National League. The Shawneeites, f eaturing the scoring antics of Matt Himlin and Stan Karmilovich, ran roughshod over the Playboys in two consecutive contests to capture a final berth. The Heads battled regular season champion Serutans in three contests and won the series, two games to one. In the rubber contest of the series, the action was fast and furious with the lead wandering back and forth between the two squads. The Heads held a 24-20 margin at halftime, but the high-scoring antics of the Serutans tied the contest, 49-49, at the end of the r egulation time. Both squads scored three points in the first overtime to send the contest into a second three-minute period. 1-M Softball Rosters Needed for Scheduling Of Two Leagues' Play John Reese, Director of Athletics, has asked that all softball players get started to form their rosters.

New Mentor, Courts Featured As Tennismen Ready for Season How would you forecast your next few years!' Today, the young man planning his life realizes as never before that in today's world his own future is tied inevitably to America's future. How can he serve both? Many college graduates, both men and women, are finding a rewarding answer on the Aerospace Team - as officers in the U.S. Air Force. Here is a career that is compelling in its challenge and opportunity. And it is a way of life that holds the unsurpassed satisfactions that come with service to country. As a college student, how can you become an Air Force Officer? If you have not completed Air Force ROTC, Officer Training School provides an opportunity to qualify for a variety of vitally needed jobs in the Aerospace Age. A graduate of this threemonth course earns a commission as a second lieutenant. Also open to college men is the Navigator Training program. For full information - including the chance to obtain graduate degrees at Air Force expense see the Air Force Selection Team when it visits your college.

The Colonel tennis team is rapidly approaching what appears to be a highly successful season. This campaign will inaugurate the new courts which have been constructed at the College's newly-acquired land area adjacent to KJrby Park. The courts are directly across Northampton Street from the soccer and football fields which are in the former Artillery Park area. The squad boasts a new coach in Tom McFarland, who is regarded as one of the best local tennis players. From early indications he is doing a fine job with the squad and has set up a rigorous training schedule which includes calisthenics, running, and long periods of actual tennis drills and practice each day. Lettermen returning to this year's squad are Owen Francis, Buddy Menaker, Gary Einhorn, and Bill Kline. Menaker is the newly elected captain of the team. These lettermen will form the nucleus of the squad, while a good deal of support is expected from freshmen Bill Douglas and Gary Frank, who apparently will be delegated to varsity posts. With the talent displayed in early workouts, it appears that the team will improve on its dismal record of last season. From all indications, it is apparent that the tennismen have regained the form which they displayed at the end of last year's matches. The team's losses of personnel through graduation appear to have been remedied by the corps of skilled freshmen. Coach McFarland and Captain Bud Menaker have urged that anyone interested in playing tennis for the Colonels report to the Central YMCA any week-day. Practice is from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. and will be held indoors until the weather permits moving to the outdoor courts. ++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + ❖ + SPECIAL TUX GROUP PRICES tor ,.

It was agreed that any time left over after the show, up until 11 p.m., would be devoted to an informal record dance. Each freshman was given two tickets, priced at fifty cents each, which he was asked to sell or buy himself.

They are Al Gilbert, vice-president; Sieglinde Vallot, secretary ; Susan Epstein, treasurer; Mary Lee Vannoy, Jo Signorelli, and Steve Paradise, Student Government representatives. A poll was taken to determine whether the Cinderella Ball should be formal or semi-formal. The majority voted in favor of a formal dance, since the Lettermen's Christmas Formal is the only other formal dance on the campus calendar. Those who wished to have the library hours extended signed a petition which was circulated during the meeting. It stated that the library should be open on Sunday afternoons from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. for the convenience of dormitory students and weekdays till 10 p.m. for the convenience of students who attend night classes.

The Pennsylvania state government, for example, has abolished its censorship board, feeling that this responsibility can be left in the hands of the family unit and public opinion. State courts, however, made decisions on alleged obscenity in certain motion pictures and works f f' t· 0 ic ion. Public opinion has been responsible for certain forms of censorship in this community. Any students and faculty members who have opinion on this topic or are interested in the discussion are invited to attend. With this in mind, the need of government censorship can be questioned. If censorship is needed, to what extent should it be used, and in what way restricted. These, and other points, will be brought out at Thursday's seminar. Marine Corps Interviews To Be Held on Campus The Marine Corps Selection Officer Captain F. H. Mitchell, Jr. will be on campus Wednesday and Thursday to interview men and women students for the Marine Corps Officer training programs. In addition the Officer Selection Team will also be at the Commons to provide information and interview applicants. All Marine officer training is conducted at Quantico, Virginia. Qualified seniors who accept the challenge of Marine leadership training will be draft deferred upon enrollment until they have met the requirements for their degree and graduation. Upon graduation, they will attend a tenweek training course and then be commissioned. Qualified applicants may choose to go to Marine flight training, after commissioning, to win the coveted "Wings of Gold" of a Leatherneck pilot. Women applicants, with extensive background experience, may be guaranteed initial assignment to the field of their choice.

Rees will enter into final competition with the choices of four other districts. The General Session opened at l p.m. with Rees presiding in the capacity of Wilkes' permanent chairman. He was assisted by five parliamentarians. Legislative interests ran high at Sunday's meeting which was attended by approximately 200 members of ICG chapters from colleges in eastern Pennsylvania. Registration of the participating schools began Sunday morning followed by a meeting of the rules committee at which time bills from Cedar Crest College, Keystone Junior College, King's College, Kutztown State Collge, Lafayette College, Lehigh University, Lycoming College, Marywood, Hazelton Extension of Pennnsylvania State University, University of Scranton, Stroudsburg State College, and Wilkes College were docketed.

This is an eternal philosophical question which has troubled mankind from the Peking Man to the twentieth century moralists. Rasho-Mon, a Japanese film being presented tonight at 7 p.m. by the Manusccript Film Society, explores this rather abstract concept on the level of human action. Unfolding what seems to be at first a familiar tale, the film describes a brutal act-the waylaying of a merchant and his wife resulting in the murder of a merchant. Giving this time-worn plot a new twist, the crime is enacted four times from four different angles by the bandit, his wife, a witness, and the dead merchant through a medium. Comprehensive Fee Plan Approved by Board An increase in the annual comprehensive fee at St. Olaf College from $1575 to $1700 to become effective in September, 1962, has been approved by the college's Board of Regents. The increase will only affect students enrolling here for the first time and those few students on campus who did not attempt to take advantage of the college's optional four-year guaranteed cost plan. Approximately 75 per cent of eligible students elected the plan which protects them against cost increases. Present students under the plan will continue at annual fees which average $1575 per year. New students can elect to have the $1700 fee guaranteed for their four years. The guaranteed cost plan, introduced in December, 1960, as the college's effort to ease the effects of spiraling educational costs on parents and students, guarantees to the students who choose the plan that the comprehensive fee will stay the same throughout their college career. An increase in the college's financial aid program was also approved. In the academic year 196162 the aid program totaled $555,000 in scholarships, loans, part-time work and other forms of aid to 1,079 students. In 1962-63, the aid program will total $615,000 for 1,125 students. In weaving these four contradictory tales into an engrossing and intriguing film, Director Akira Kurosawa has employed both a sometimes ghostly camera work and a careful use of musical background to emphasize the violence and basal animalism of his characters.

One of the most evident to the watchful eyes of student leaders is the lack of participation in collegiate activities by the students in general. Many members of the senior class are away from campus a good part of the time in connection with special studies in their major field. In addition to this, however, we have noted that general student cooperation seems to have reached a low. A reminder is in order here that although we are rapidly approaching the end of another year, the time for a vacation has not yet come. We still have an important responsibility to fulfill to our fellow students and to our college in the form of participation in college-sponsored activities. The Beacon. like many other campus organizations, joins in a renewed plea for student assistance in all extracurricular projects. Learning from Other Cultures Boston University's College of Liberal Arts has announced that a Greek major language sequence has been instituted and revived in the college curriculum. According to a spokesman for the university, the revival has been sparked by the National Defense Education Act and a broad general feeling that Americans are backward linguistically. Recognition of a lack of understanding of our own language and of the benefits which can be gained through the study of another language is a step forward in the development of the American mind. The university spokesman also pointed out that people who have sudied translated versions of the classics in great books courses are now anxious to read the original. The addition of this sequence at Boston University vividly points out that there is virtually no limit to which educational advancement may go. There is much to be gained from a knowledge of civilizations of the past as well as from present-day cultures other than our own. We as Americans have come to realize that although our culture is superior in many ways, there is still much to be done to maintain this superiority in a world of nations that are ever striving to make advancements. Harvard Freshmen Prove Capable Of Holding Own in Seminar Group In his annual report, released recently, President Nathan M. Pusey of Harvard University points out that "the fact that the incoming Harvard . College ·student is now better prepared and motivated than was his counterpart a decade or more ago has resulted in a variety of changes in the instructional program and related activities of the College. These changes have come about gradually, often without central planning, but taken together they illustrate a new, exciting, and flexible pattern in undergraduate life. Who would have forecast, thirty years ago, for example, that the customary Freshman Week could feature lively student discussion of C. P. Snow's 'The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution,' based on an interchange of views by Professors MacLeish and Wald? Or who would have foreseen the series of smaller meetings at which freshmen heard, over cider, a variety of other Harvard luminaries talk about books, music, and art along avenues suggested by an optional summer reading list? Yet these things happened a year ago and this last fall. In addition, the college continued the popular system of credit seminars designed to draw new students into some• what less formal, more personal relationships with mature scholars than is .p ossible in the traditional courses offerings. In its second year of trial, this scheme attracted 300 students into 36 seminars. Another innovation was the division of the freshman class, for advising and counseling, into five geographically convenient dormitory groups of 200 to 250 students each, roughly comparable to 'Houses.' Each group has a Senior Adviser and a number of other advisers. Each group, too, has a common (continued on pace 8) WHAT - WHERE - WHEN Manuscript Film, "Rascho-Mon" - Stark 116, Tonight, 7-9 .p.m. Sophomore Class Dance--Gym, Tonight, 9 p.m. Wilkes-Barre Ballet-Irem Temple, Saturday, 8 p.m. Beacon Staff Meeting-Pickering 101, Tuesday, 12:15 p.m. Assembly, William D.

Hnudreds of rare pictures and captions tell the story of a spectacular industry of home cure which shrouded its patent medicines (for man and beast) in secrecy and advertising.

Friday, March 16, 1962 A great honor has been bestowed upon Michael Bianco in having been the first Wilkes College student to have been accepted by the Peace Corps. After taking the competitive examination, Mike has fufilled the reqirements for becoming a Peace Corpsman. He reported that he has been given his preference of going to Africa. As Mike stated, "I like the African people, and I feel that these countries need the most aid from the United States. It presents the greatest challenge to me." Even though Mike has been accepted, he is not certain that he will enter the Corps. It is understandable since he has also been accepted by graduate school and law school. Whatever Mike selects t~ do, _it will be toward fulfilling his desire to make a career in public service and government. In preparing for his career, Mike has had .p lenty of experience in government work. On campus, he has been a student government representative for the past three years se:"ing as Vice-President this year'. His work has been beneficial to both the students and the organization. Last year, he initiated the work in formulating the evaluation committee on extracurricular activities. From his own observations, he commented that it is the students' fault if they do not receive proper representation, in which students Michael Bianco with ability can be elected. As Mike stated, ."This can be carried over to public offices as well. The TRES CHIC people are at fault if there is graft and mismanagement of government.'' Mike would like to see the Student Court developed in order that the students would eventually have complete jurisdiction over themselves. Another change which by Maryann Wilson Mike desires is an alteration of the i:eople who work in retailing are campus drinking policy which resigned to think of themselves as would add more to the student reSaturday's children, forced by cus- sponsibility.

While it is true that in the few short years of its existence the college has been able to acquire, both through gifts and outright purchases, extensive property holdings, the school is still in its relative infancy. Changes and improvements in its existing holdings, along with several proposed acquisitions, are planned for the future. These · changes are designed to beautify, as well as add to the value of, the physical side of the school and to create a "true campus" on which the intellectual side can develop more fully. Although many of these improvements will not be completely accomplished for several years, they are awaited with a keen sense of anticipation. Of course, far more is being done than merely waiting. These plans are being implemented as fast as opportunities and resources permit. Such development has not gone, and really cannot go, unnoticed. City Council, in planning for the redevelopment of the city, is vitally interested in whatever plans are being made by the college as to its future expansion. The Council recognizes the contributions that the college makes to the community's economy, intellectually and socially as well as financially. However, it must, of necessity, also 'Preserve as much taxable property within the central city business district as possible. This is the most lucrative taxing district in any city and much of such property in Wilkes-Barre has been removed from the tax rolls in recent years as the two city colleges have expanded toward central city. Faced with reconciling the need for this growth with the future needs of the city itself, Council solved the dilemma by creating in its Zoning Ordinances a classification titled "Special Purpose Districts." Under this plan, Wilkes' future growth will be channeled in a direction to the south of central city. This -p lan precludes the college from expanding any further into central city. It does not, however, mean that the college must relinquish any of its present holdings. In fact, Dr. Farley explained to Council that the college contemplates retaining all its present properties in the city. This is necessary, he said, if the college is to meet the demands that will be placed upon its facilities in a few years as the -p ost-World War II "baby-boom" reaches college age. The first phase in the college's southward expansion will be the construction of the proposed dormitory on land that the college hopes to obtain in the general area of Wright and South Streets. With the completion of this facility, set for September 1963, the dormitory capacity will be increased by 250 rooms and will also provide for new eating facilities. Many other ·p lans are being made for the next several years in the continuing program of developing the college. However, final details on some of these are still tentative and will be announced as they are made definite. STUDENT SKETCH (continued from pace 2) than to benefit the organization. Having been a commuter, he realizes that they often do not have the time. He also said, "In fact, some clubs do not offer appealing programs to get the student to join." In addition to his other achievements, Mike has been named -t o the Dean's List and to Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. He has been Northeastern Regional Director while he was a member of I.C.G., and he served as chairman for -t he Court of Appeals in his sophomore year. Private Citizens Urged To Support Kennedy In Fight Against Crime After one year in office, Attorney General Robert Kennedy and his staff of young, idealistic lawyers are moving toward a showdown with major league crime. But victory over the barons of gangsterdom will depend equally on millions of "average citizens" who until now have shown alarming willingness to go along with organized crime. In an article in a recent Reader's Digest which makes these points, Lester Velie details some of the frightening influences wielded by Big Crime, which reaches its tentacles into business, labor, and just about every other segment of our society. The "take" from gambling alone, for example, is between 10 and 15 billion dollars yearly. Kennedy is changing things as much as 'Possible. He has pulled together talent from 20 government agencies, has them cooperating instead of competing as they once did. He has built a national anti-crime force led by his own staff of 53 brilliant young lawyers, who serve at salaries just about equal to those of skilled construction workers. Among the significant accompishments of these crime fighters is the first f u 11 y comprehensive "Who's Who in Big Crime," with complete dossiers on some 600 crime chieftains. But the Digest article warns that Kennedy's work can be robbed of much effectiveness if the average citizen continues to ignore or to gloss over organized crime. Maybe you don't think of yourself in these terms. But consider for a moment. Have you ever placed a bet with a bookie? If so, you're encouraging crime. You are, indeed, a co-conspirator in a crime. Do you take an active part in politics? Crooks do. They spend approximately fifteen per cent of the total sums contributed to all state and local election campaigns. It is only when each of us refuses to accept crime as "just one of those things" and takes an active role in helping to stamp it out that we will be clearly on our way to smashing it for good. Bob Kennedy and his staff are doing their part. Are you doing yours ? Bio-physicist Suggests Study of Mind's Mysteries EVANSTON, ILL. (IP)-Biophysicists, now scattered among many departments at universities, should get together for an organized attack on the mysteries of "the most complex and wonderful phenomenon available to scientific investigation, the mind itself." This was the challenge thrown out by MIT Biophysicist Francis 0. Schmitt in a recent lecture at Northwestern University. While bio-physicists have prospects "thrilling and challenging beyond (those) of any previous period in the history of science," they are nevertheless in too many scattered lications on American campuses, he asserts. In such centers should be located "the most expensive hardware and specialized technicians" needed for the most advanced research. And if well-planned, such research centers result in cross-fertilization of ideas and backgrounds, have the William D.

The heavy artillery of the West Pittston corps proved too strong for the undermanned Serutan squad. Wruble and Foy registered 34 points between them for the Heads as Len Yoblonski proved to be the whole Serutan offense with 29 points. After dropping a much-disputed 61-60 decision to the Playboys in regular season play, the Shawneeites proved the fast-breaking guerrilla tactics superior with a 50-39 victory. "Tosh" Karmilovich ripped the opponent's defense for 24 points while Matt Himlin added 10 to the winning cause. "Snuffy" Smith and Ray Marchikaitus were rebounding specialists for the Shawneeites while John Tensa and Barry Bryant were the field generals. Dave Peters and Joe Fudjack led the Playboys with 10 points each. Counter-attacking Warner Hall overcame a three point deficit at intermission to upend the Barre Hall forces, 62-59.

These contests were of the bestof-three variety with an eventual meeting of the American and National League Kingpins to decide the top squad. 1-M NOTICE Baseball season is just around the corner. Teams interested in participating in the intramural softball league this year are asked to turn their rosters in to Mr. Reese at the gym. The league will start as soon as the weather breaks, and information on the number of teams expecting to enter the competition is needed to form a schedule. j Matthew Himlin With one eye on the ball and the other anxiously watching the skies for signs of outdoor practice weather, the 1962 edition of the Colonel baseball team began indoor workouts in the gym last Monday afternoon under the tutelage of Head Coach Mike Dydo. The hopeful candidates, numbering in the twenties, are using the indoor sessions to learn the basics of base running but are eager to get to the Wilkes field diamond to make their bid for a starting berth. Top holdovers from last year's squad are Matt Himlin, Lou Zampetti, and Paul Aquilino. Himlin played his first year of intereollegiate ball last year and ended the season among the MAC top batters. The cagey leftfielder is a "spraytype" hitter and should be a valuable leadoff man for the Colonels. Third baseman Lou Zampetti will be counted on to furnish the "power" in the lineup. Last season the "hot cornerman" teamed with Bobby Ontko to give the Wilkes- Louis Zam.petti ••• of electric power This is Pennsylvania's "highway system" of electric power . .. ready for any demand or any emergency. The lines charted on this map are part of the great electric grid that covers the nation, connecting the facilities of more than 100 investor-owned electric companies. This vast network of power is a reality today because the forward-looking, business-managed electric industry planned it that way. And now, even greater facilities are under construction or on the drawing boards, to secure the nation's power future for many years ahead. Over the next 20 years electric utility companies will be spending more than $143 billion for construction of facilities. This money will come, not from taxes but from voluntary investment by individuals who have faith in the performance of an industry which has always been ready to meet all power demands . . . which has continuously contributed to a higher standard of living at progressively lower cost. men a longball threat. Aquilino will be ending his collegiate career this season and early indications show it should be a highly successful year. "Ack" will be the first sacker after patrolling the outfield the past three years. Returning to take their place on the mound will be veterans Bob Fleming, Joe Krucek, Nick Alesandro, and Mike Schwefel. These pitchers will have a veteran receiving corps of Len Yonkoski and Ken Ludmer to back up their "fastballing". Leading first year candidates are 'Doc' Vosheski, Tom Trosko, and Len Rishoski. Vosheski is a slickfielding second baseman who led the Newport Twp. nine into Valley finals last year. Looming as a topnotch shortstop candidate is Tom Trosko, a scrappy ex-Plains High diamondman who may team with Vosheski to give the Colonels a very effective double-play combination. Rishoski is a 'dark horse' candidate for the catching chores of the Colonels. 'Big Len' starred as a 'junior Yogi Berra' while serving with the U.S. Army. The top candidate for the centerfield post is veteran Bill Mulford. He covered the center grasses for the Dydomen in the closing games of last season and did a very formidable job. Opening action for the squad will be April 3 when they travel to Muhlenburg to meet the Mules in an exhibition game. $ PENNSYLVANIA ELECTRIC ASSOCIATION 20 Independent, Investor-Owned Electric Companies of Pennsylvania "Even back in Grampa's time there was something to make ,-ou sleep ••• they called it work." �'Friday, March 16, 1962 WILKFS COLLEGE BEACON Major League Oulcomes Predicled By Group of Assorled Experls CAGERS TOP M.A.C. FREE-THROW LINE This week the Beacon Sports Staff again departs from its usual conservative position in attempting to predict the outcome of the 1962 Major League baseball season. Of course we were compelled to throw away our Goldwater buttons, but we chose to make this great sacrifice in the interest of journalism, and .b esides this is the only way that we can fill up the sports page. Aiding us in this journey into mysticism was a group of our cohorts, who, through their wise counsel, enable us to circumvent our capacity for incompetence. Among these wizards of baseball prognostication were Bill Roots, eminent Dupont pool-shark; Barry Bryant, barfly; John McDermott, noted restauranteur (who also received one vote for National League Most Vaiuable Player); Joe Lukavitch, carpetbagger; Mr. Harvey Jones, custadian of Pringle Street School; Jim Shilling, head mat coach at Kingston High School and George Tensa's cooperating teacher; Francis A. Mikolanis, bar-maid; Steve Phillips Wanamie temperance advocate; Jerry Krasa, dedicated student of logi; and football fan; Lou Rauscher, S:p orts Editor of the SUNDAY INDEPENDENT, Arthur Hoover, Wilkes sports publicity director; Walt Sweetra, one of the King's men; Lo Zampetti, third-baseman; and Donald Hancock, die-hard Pirate fan. Further advice come from Barry Goldwater, a Congressman or something; and Pancho Herrera, formerly the world's largest secondbaseman. Also aiding and abetting in our predictions were assorted table-hoppers and sundry other people who, although not interested in baseball, happened to be standing around when we handed out poll sheets.

The Wilkesmen sank 244 shots of 309 attempts in 14 games to register the league-leading average. Harvey Rosen, for the second consecutive year, proved himself "King of the Free-Throw Line" in the MAC. He tossed in 76 of 87 attempts for a percentage of .873. Bob Fleming and John Moore also ranked among the top ten foul shooters in the same division with .818 and .781 percentages respectively. In individual scoring, Rosen also placed high in the ranks by coming in fifth with a 19-8 average. He summed up a grand total of 278 points, falling behind the first ·p lace scorer by only 94 points, a mere total when comparing individual scoring for an entire season with all the colleges in the MAC recordings. . John Moore again won recognition by placing eleventh with an average of 16.7, aided by his 218 total number of points scored. Another Davisman placed in the top twenty-five leading scorers by totaling 180 points for an average of 13.8. Bob Fleming was listed as the twentieth place ·p layer in individual scoring. . The Wilkes basketball team has proved itself a great and promising contender in the -hoop league, with strength and determination the main factors. by the poll. These were leading batter, most home runs, runs batted in, and Most Valuable Player. The other department voted upon was that of leading pitcher and, although there was concerted effort from various lobby groups about campus, we just couldn't convince Mr. Mantle that he was a ·p itcher. The honor, however, did go to a teammate of his, Whitey Ford. Individual leaders in the Senior Circuit created quite a bit of discontent and general indignance ( especially from the Goldwater Camp) among the participants in the poll although physical violence was averted through the skillful arbitration and good offices provided by the women of TDR. Selected to lead the league in batting is Henry Aaron of the Braves followed closely by Roberto Clemente of the Pirates. RBI honors will go to Orlando Cepeda of the Giants after a close contest with Aaron. Cepeda is also designated to be the home run king of the circuit. The honor of Most Valuable Player will go to ·p erhaps the best all-around player in modern baseball, Willie Mays, the colorful centerfielder of the Giants. The leading pitcher will be the perennial Warren Spahn. As one might easily discern, a good deal of research and contemplation has gone into the forming of the above predictions and they should be looked upon as a hallmark in the annals of the Beacon sports coverage. Brooke Yeager Captures 4-1 Championship During Weekend Tournament at Kent State; Ed Rutkowski Annexes Second 191-Pound Crown Take a junior biology major, add a pinch of wrestling attire and a dash of mat savvy, sprinkle in a campus at Kent State, and mix in the 4-1 wrestling tourney and you have Brooke Yeager annexing another title to his long list of conquests. Last weekend the Colonel 123-pound traveled to Kent, Ohio to take part in the 4-1 (Interstate Intercollegiate Individual Invitational) Tourney and came home with the coveted 123-pound crown. Brooke Yeager -------------6 Athletes To Be Feted At All-Sports Banquet Drawing a bye in the opening action Yeager met Robert Hamilton of CCNY in the quarter-finals and disposed of the New Yorker in an easy fashion, 10-0. In the semifinals he met his toughest opposition in the person of Dave Abling of Toledo University. Abling carried a 10-1 ledger and the title of the Mid-American Conference into the match but couldn't cope with the agile moves of Yeager and dropped a 5-3 decision. In the championship match Yeager utilized a reversal and riding time to decision Tom Vataha of Kent State, 3-0. For his winning effort Yeager received a trophy and the college also received a winner's plaque. Ted Toluba also saw action in the tourney and advanced to the semi-finals before being decisioned by AAU champion Eric Moyer of Springfield College. Ed Rutkowski, former Kingston High School grappler and now wearing the colors of the "Irish from South Bend", won the 191pound action for the second consecutive year by running roughshod over four opponents.

Prominent among the changes is the fact that many courses which were required for one semester have now been extended to two semesters. · This will provide a greater depth of knowledge of the subjects taken, and at the same time accomplish the purpose of the committee had in mind. This is to provide Wilkes students with a broader liberal education background than they now have. With more of this same background, their knowledge of a variety of subjects would be more nearly equal. The revisions include a "core program" in General Education.

Lore Hear ye, hear ye, - All budding literary geniuses and philanthropists, come to the aid of the Manuscript! With blithe confidence in the generosity of the students of Wilkes, the literary society is seeking contributions both literary and monetary. One-Act Plays Continue Tonight, Tomorrow at Theater Two one-act plays will be presented by Cue and Curtain tonight and tomorrow night in Chase Theater. The club's first offering for the spring semester will include "The Happy Journey to Trenton and Camden" by Thornton Wilder and "The American Dream" by Edward Albee. Emily Weinberg, a sophomore elementary education major, directs "The Ha,p py Journey to Trenton and Camden" cast which includes Marsha Hefferan, Lynn Maslanka, Sieglinde Vallot, Ray Gleason, Steve Panken, and Walt Dexter. Lighting effects are by Mindy Weinberg. Directed by Steve Schwartz, a senior English major, the cast of "The American Dream" includes Ruth Friedlander, Joan Pitney, Pat Chapracki, David Fendrick, and David S. Peters. Lighting effects are by Edward Lipinski. Arthur Palencar is art director and Robert Dew and James Stanton are stage managers for both plays. · Student direction will be under the supervision of Mr. Alfred Groh, director of dramatics. Curtain time has been set for 8 p.m. Ellington Tickets on Sale Tickets are now on sale for the Junior Class Jazz Concert, featuring Duke Ellington and his orchestra, to be held in the Wilkes College gym at 8:30 p.m., Saturday, March 31. General admission tickets at $2 and reserved seat tickets at $3.50 can be ·p urchased t the Square Record Shop. Reservations can be made by calling VA 3-9003 or writing to Conrad Wagner, in care of Wilkes College. Literary and artistic contributions are being sought for this Spring's issue of the Manuscript literary magazine, a representative collection of the creative writing and art work on campus. Most authors and artists are not appreciated until they are residents of that "other world" but members of the "artistic elite" on campus can avoid this fate by publishing their work in the Manuscript and thereby reaping a bounty of widespread fame and admiration. March 15 is the deadline for submission of these artistic gems, according to Stephen Schwartz, Manuscript editor. In their efforts to present films that would not ordinarily be shown to the student body, Manuscript plans to present "Hiroshima, Mon Amour" on April 27. In the words of The Saturday Review of Literature, "No more genuinely moving motion picture has emerged in years." This combination love story, plea for peace pairs a French actress and a Japanese actor in the setting of Hiroshima. Placing matters in their proper perspective, the film paints both the individual German and Japanese soldier with soft brush pointing out that it is the blistering forces that sear and destroy life and that collect individual human lives into ranks of enemies that are to be hated. Since this film is not one of the regularly scheduled films, which are paid for by administration funds, the Manuscript staff is forced to solicit funds to cover the rental fee. • To accept donations from campus philanthropists wishing to exercise their art, Erin McCormack, chairman of the fundraising committee, will "man" a table in the cafeteria every Friday at noon. To further stimulate interest Joel Harrison and Dolores Amir ~II solicit the boys' and girls' dormitories respectively. In conjunction with their regular film program, Manuscript will offer "Rasho-Mon", a Japanese movie dealing with that fleeting entity, '61. Once again, the Faculty Flashes, led by Dr. Michelini and Dean of Men George Relston, will match their muleheads with those of the Student Stars, captained by Don Eller. The Flashes are a team of experts on qualities often found in mules. Besides Dr. Michelini and Dean Ralston, the faculty roster includes John Whitby, Robert Morris, Larry Weed, Francis Pinkowski, Al Zawadski, John Reese, and Girard Gaughan. Listed among the Student Stars are Rick Rees, Buddy Menaker, and Joe Shambe. Four members on each team, two forwards and two guards, get set under a basket, using the opposite basket as their goal. The players remain close to their scented burros until the ball is thrown into the middle of the floor. Once he receives the ball, a ,p layer must be mounted or holding the reins if he wishes to pass it or shoot a basket. No player is allowed to hold the ball for more than 15 seconds. Other than these four basic rules, anything goes since there are no out-of-bounds, time-outs, or fouls, and even the mules can exchange players. Jerry Shilanski, experienced muleteer, will give the play by play of the donkey classic. During intermiss)()n, while the mules are giving the players a rest, there will be a few surprises. Jim Jones, general chairman of the jackass extravaganza, is working with the Circle K Club to entertain a group of underprivileged children. The tickets for adults are 75 cents. Children under 12 will be admitted for 50 cents. Children's tickets will be sold only at the door. Assisting Jones are Ed Rogalski, publicity; Gail Roberts, Barbara Stevens, Fred Smithson, personnel; Jerry Shilanski, program; Alan Gubanich, technical arrangements; George Evancho, Roger Rymer, ticket sales; Rosemary Hagel, Sally Schoffstall, refreshments. Class Meetings Scheduled All classes will conduct compulsory meetings on Thursday at 11 a.m. Students should check the campus bulletin boards for announcements concerning the location of their particular class meeting. Truth, on Friday, March 16 at 7 p.m. in Stark 116. To further organize plans for both the movie and the forthcoming publication, the staff will meet next Tuesday at 11 a.m. in Pickering 101. All students interested in joining the Manuscript staff are invited to attend this meeting. �wn.n:s 2 EDITORIAL- Decision President Kennedy's reluctant decision to resume nuclear testing in the atmosphere has brought a wide variety of reactions from all comers of the world. In Japan, the foreign ministry issued a letter urging President Kennedy to "reconsider your present decision to resume testing." Britain and France, who had been consulted in advance by Kennedy, have officially indicated support of the decision. The official Soviet news agency, Tass, called the president's offer "a clumsy attempt to justify himself before the world." Here in the United States, the decision was also met with a variety of reactions. Many citizens have praised the president's move to resume on the grounds that our nation is falling behind Russia in the field of weaponry. Other groups have criticized Kennedy because of the threat to the health of the nation which may be involved. The president emphasized the fact that the decision was reached reluctantly and after a great deal of deliberation. Examination of the more than forty tests made by Russia last year revealed many technological advances made by the Soviets. We as a nation must be prepared to keep the peace, but we cannot allow ourselves to stand idly by while the Soviet Union makes advances in this all-important field. We must proceed cautiously in our efforts to reach a peaceful agreement, but these efforts must not endanger the security which comes as a result of being adequately prepared. The decision of the president must be evaluated by considering all aspects of the resolution. The question of a possible health hazard has been debated by the nation's scientists for some time. Some feel that it presents a serious threat to the health of our people. Others feel that the effects of the testing would present little or no menace. In any event, we cannot allow our fears to take pessession of our better judgment. Decisions such as the one made by Kennedy are necessary if we are to prove to ourselves and to the world that we are a nation to be respected. Korean War Orphan Adopted by Compassionate Girls of Sterling The Korean War of 1950-53 and the years that immediately followed left literally thousands of Korean children homeless, without fathers or mothers, and suffering from starvation and disease. Yoo Kyung Sook Obviously repulsive to States and tries. The such conditions were citizens of the United other civilized counquestion was, "What could be done?" Some people merely recognized the dilemma, while others decidde to do something about it. It is because of those, who decided to act instead of shaking their heads in dismay that an eleven-year-old Korean girl, who had lost both her parents, today has not one but 21 young mothers. Little Yoo Kyung Sook is undoubtedly very grateful to the residents of Sterling Hall who have adopted her and have agreed to he1p finance her education and life at the People Loving Christian Orphanage in Choonchun City, Korea. The girls decided a few weeks ago that they would like to do something worthwhile and found that through the Everett Swanson Evangelistic Association, Incorporated, they could sponsor a Korean orphan for as little as $8.00 a month.

This w~ek's subject for ~e Student Sk.~tch, senior chemistry ma1or David Edwards, certamly has an electric" personality. He has made, from old radios, speakers, and "junk" around the ho~e, a setr~o set that actuall}'.' works. It is not quite as professional looking as the conventional type since it has six old speakers and wires under rugs; nevertheless, it works. Dave's galvanic interest began when, this year, he assisted D~. Detwilt:r. of !he P~ysics de~ent,_ in a research project with electricity m solid state physics mcluding crystals and salts. The research was sponsored by the Air Force and will be a project worked on in the new graduate program within the next two years. David Edwards Although his interest in electricity began recently, evidences of Dave's "electric" personality may be found throughout his high school and college years. He was president of his senior class at Meyers High School, and vice-president of its student council. On campus he has been, for two consecutive years, vice-president of his class and president of the Chemistry Club, and a member of the male chorus. Recently he was named to Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities. Dave says that he has enjoyed his college years and is looking for ward to, after graduation, continartists of the Town and Gown Concert Sunday afternoon at 3 :30 to be held at the Wilkes College gym. Both programs will feature Mozart's "Serenade No. 11, · K. 375" and Dvorak's "Serenade in D Minor, Opus 44". Members of the ensemble are Donald Jones, oboe; Edward Yadzinski and Robert Kundreskas, ued laboratory work in analytical chemistry. He hopes to do graduate work and perhaps teach on the college level. For this work he believes that he has been well prepared at Wilkes. "I have found that industry," he explained, "is satisfied with the background and experience we receive here. Then language and science backgrounds which I have received at the College are certainly, I believe, comparable to those of any other highcaliber college. "Wilkes has been experiencing 'growing pains' in several fields," he added. "The science departments, for example, have grown r8:pidly since my freshman year with the addition of buildings and equi.pment." D a v e enumerated several scientific additions in equipment which will help students beco~e aware of what industry is us 1 n g: spectragraphs, graph-recording instruments, and x-ray defraction units for crystal study. Indeed as important, or perhaps more important, than laboratory space and equipment is another advantage of the College: professor-student contact. Dave says that he prefers a small college because one realizes a closer relationship - both academically and non-academically - with his professors. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Edwards of Wilkes-Barre, Dave has been making "sparks fly" in the chemistry and physics labs for several years. Who knows? Perhaps he will soon "electrify the world" with some shocking discoveries. He could, for instance, add video to his stereo! clarinet; Robert Eike, bassoon; Donivee Miller, horn; William Zaykowski, trombone; and Ray Nutaitus, tuba. Messrs. Martin Friedmann and Lawrence Weed, members of the music faculty of Wilkes, will conduct the Orchestra Festival and the Town and Gown Concert, respectively. KAMPUS KAMERA What is your opinion of President Kennedy's decision to resume atmospheric nuclear tests? Pat Rossi, junior, elementary education major Under the existing world circumstances, I sincerely believe that President Kennedy had no other choice but to resume nuclear testing. I think that the United States has every right to continue nuclear testing, as long as we keep in mind the possible consequences of fallout and world dissension, and attempt to work within certain limited bounds. Jerome Krasa, senior, political science major I favored our resumption of atmospheric testing after the Soviet Union did so last Fall and felt that it was only a matter of time before the President would make the announcement he did last week. However, he showed his political skill in the intervening months by winning public support for his stand, even from such former opponents of testing as Dr. Hans , ,, Beta of Cornell. Alfonso S. Zawadski, Registrar I am in favor of immediate resumptiQn of nuclear testing. This forthright action will deter the Soviet leaders from further attempts to deceive us. As a nation, I believe we have finally matured when we realize that to conciliate the matter with the Soviets is futile. It is my- sincere hope that this action will sober the thoughts of the Soviet military officials thereby causing a rift between their military and political chiefs concerning aggression. Bronis Kaslas, Associate Professor of History It is regretable that the United States bas to resume the nuclear tests. The motives, as expressed in the President's speech, for resuming the tests are very serious, and, I believe, that this will contribute to the preservation of peace. Allowing Russia to acquire an absolute superiority in military technology would, I think, increase the dangers of war. �Friday, March 9, 1962 Ted Toluba Registers Four Pins To Capture 167-Pound MAC Tille As a result of his stunning victories to gain the 167-pound championship at the Middle Atlantic Conference Tournament at West Chester last weekend, Ted Toluba has been named Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament. Ted began his victory skein by pinning Kenny Beaman of Delaware in 4:55. Next came Sam Goldberg of Albright who was disposed of by Ted, using a cradle hold in 1:15. Ben Portinof of Bucknell provided the next challenge for Toluba, but succumbed to the Wilkes grappler's superior speed and ability in 2:04. WILXFS COLLEGE BEACON 3 Aquamen Finish Season At MAC Tournament; Injuries Hamper Team Malmen Dethroned al West Chesler; Gardner, Toluba Capture Titles by Kathy Thomas The mermen were represented in the MAC tourney at Gettysburg last week, and although they bowed to defeat, the swimmers gave their opponents a struggle never to be forgotten. Colonel aquamen in the tourney were John J. Miller and Ron Masters in the diving competition, and Gary Greaker in the 200-yard backstroke. In pre-season practice, prospects looked bright for the on-coming year, but during the season, the team was faced with disaster time after time. In the first meet, the mermen were winning when one of the better swimmers was disqualified and this forced Wilkes to a defeat. Gary Greaker, a strong backstroker, suffered a broken bone in his elbow, causing him to miss two important meets. The two team captains were also lost to the squad, due to school averages. Tom Troy, a sure pointgetter, dislocated his knee before the first meet; thus he, too, was lost to the team for the remainder of the season. The practice schedule of Wilkes' swimmers was restricted because of complications of their practice pool at the YMCA. These difficulties undoubtedly had some effect on this year's success of the team. However there were a few bright spots during the season. The team had set three new school records. In the 400-yard relay against Drexel, Gary Greaker, Dick Bender, Roger Rolfe, and John J. Miller lowered the record by two seconds. The time was 5:02.7 and reduced to 5:00. In the 50-yard freestyle against Harpur College, Jack Barnes cut the record of 25 :4 to 25 :3. In the backstroke, Gary Greaker broke the 200-yard recourse twice during the year. In the last meet of the season he reduced the record of 2:58.8 by 5 seconds, making a new time of 2 :53.5. Even though the mermen have not had the successful season expected by all fans, next year's TED TOLUBA meets might be more gratifying, For the past four seasons Ted especially since the team now has The finals found Ted matched with Swarthmore's Al W at 1 er. has been one of the stalwarts of three freshmen who stand high in After leading throughout the bout, John Reese's wrestling squad.

Chuck Robbins After five years of domination of Middle Atlantic Conference wrestling, the Wilkes grapplers were dethroned last Saturday by the Warriors of Lycoming College at the MAC tournament at West Chester. The Lycoming wrestlers, whom the Colonels defeated during the season in a dual meet, amassed 70 points to unseat the defending champions. Although the Colonels came out of the tourney with two individual champions, John Gardner at 147 pounds, and Ted Toluba at 167 pounds, they were able to account for only 37 points and were delegated to a fourth place tie with Hofstra. West Chester was runnerup in the tourney with 55 points while Bucknell came in third with 44.

Heavyweight - Warden, Drexel, pinned Brunza (W), 7:23. John Gardner Several key factors contribute to the fall of Wilkes from the apex of MAC wrestling. A disabling injury to Bob Ainsworth, 177-pound performer, who had been undefeated this season, created a vacuum in his weight class. It is ironic that the champion at 177 this year was Lycoming's Dave Fortin, whom Ainsworth had beaten soundly in this year's dual meet with the Warriors. Another factor in the Wilkes defeat was the failure of Brooke Yeager to secure his expected championship. Brooke got to the semi-finals by registering two falls. In the semi-final, however, he was decisioned, 8-2, by Don Hannon of Hofstra. The significance of this loss lies in the fact that Brooke defeated Hannon earlier this season. John Gardner turned in an outstanding effort in winning the 147pound title. John fashioned his victory through three decisions and one fall. The former West Side Catholic wrestler took a 5-4 time advantage decision from Bernie Coyle of Bucknell in the final to acquire the championship. Ted Toluba collected the Outstanding Wrestler award in winning the 167-pound title. (See "Athlete of the Week" story, this page.)

To date Sterling Hall has r eceived Yoo Kyung Sook's adoption papers, her .photograph, and an outline of her foot. A brief outline of her background was also r eceived by Sieglinde Vallot, the dormitory's secretary. Sieglinde r elated that the little girl and her sister were foun d roaming the streets by the superintendent of a religious home. She was only eight years old, her father had been killed during the war, and her mother had died of disease. Sieglinde described the little Korean girl as a cheerful and excellent student in the 6th grade at the So Yang Primary School. Her health is normal now and her favorite subject is the Korean language. She also has a talent for handiwork. Mrs. Mary Crawford and the girls from Sterling Hall have made plans to write letters and to send packages as often as possible to their adopted daughter. They expr essed a hope that the tradition they have -i nitiated be handed down from year to year until Yoo Kyung Sook is ready for college. If everything goes well she may someday live in Sterling Hall and walk up and down South River Street to and from her classes.

JOBS! . . . CAREERS! ... A JOB PIZZAJOE MANGANELLO'S Two sophomores and six freshmen were elected to class offices in recent balloting to fill positions vacated since last semester. In the sophomore class Al Gubanich, a secondary education major, was elected vice-president, and Richard Burns, a commerce and finance major, was empowered to represent the class on the Student Government. Freshmen chose three class officers and three Student Government representatives. The new class officers are: vice-president, Al Gilbert, a secondary education major; treasurer, Susan Epstein, an elementary education major; secretary, Sieglinde Vallot, a liberal arts major. Jo Signorella, an elementary education major; Mary Lee Vannoy, a history major; and Steve Paradise, a commerce and finance major, were chosen to represent the freshman class on the Student Government.

A CAREER The "New Eyes for the Needy Campaign", which is being conducted by the Economics Club, will continue until March 24. The campaign will aid a non-profit organization which services sixty-seven hospitals and clinics in the United States and in foreign countries. Last year the Economics Club collected three thousand, five hundred pairs of glasses for the organization. Solons Set Policies, Clarify Constitution, Create Minor Court Members of the Student Government made full use of their administrative power on Monday evening as they reviewed several new policies submitted by Mike Bianco. The policies, if adopted, would broaden the scope of Student Government action. The first policy permanently defines the much disputed term "recognized activity" as one whose constitution has been submitted to and approved by the Student Government, or, in the case of a campus activity with off-campus affiliates (A WS, CCUN), one whose constitution has been approved by the Student Government and the Administration. The second new policy deals with dispersal of funds by the Student Government. In distributing funds from the Extracurricular Activities Budget, the solons' new policy, which affects the Intercollegiate Conference Fund, a fund which provides for the partial sponsorship of student participation in off-campus conferences, would increase the $10 personal reimbursement to $15 per member per conference and would increase the total club reimbursement from $150 to $165 per year. As a part of the last policy submitted, the Student Government, sitting as a Committee of the Whole, would be empowered to act as a court, adjusting differences between students and faculty members without the aid of the Deans. Under this policy students would have the privilege of "judgment by their peers," and could take adverse decisions to the formal Court of Appeals of the Student Government. According to Ted Begun, junior Student Government representative, "The enactment of this policy would provide the first positive step t o w a r d a student-administered honor system." Tacked on to all policies submitted is a provision for the enforcement of all Stud!mt Government decisions by means of financial and social penalties. The solons, after hearing and reviewing the new policies referred them to committee for final revision. A collection box was placed in front of Pomeroy's Department Store in addition to those which have been placed on campus. Gold and silver articles, jewelry, and sunglasses are also being collected. The gold and silver is melted down and sold to the government; then the money is used for purchasing glasses for the needy. The Economics Club is contacting local eye doctors in order to locate discarded glasses. The lost and found departments of city department stores are also contacted as sources for the glasses. Members of the campaign committee are Andrew Serafin, Joseph Demarco, Rob e rt Chamberlain, William McIntyre, chairman; Joseph Barnard, Martin Schultz, Anthony Butsavage, Gordon Schneider.

Student Violations College Development Student leaders voted unanimously to back an. idea for a student arbitration board. The duties of this board would be to investigate any student violations on ·or off campus and prescribe a just punishment. As a college, Wilkes has few of these violations. Those that occur are handled by the Dean's office. Under this proposed plan, Student Government members with representatives from faculty and administration would handle these matters. Proposed additions to the college were discussed at this meeting because of the apparent interest of members of the student body in a Fine Arts building. Mr. Morris explained that originally the Fine Arts building had priority in future college construction, however, certain occurrences have altered this. For example, the graduate program in chemistry and physics, and the possibility of an Area Research Center doing industrial research and development necessitates an addition to Stark Hall across to Chase Theater and up to Bennett Hall. Also the Urban Renewal program has provided for college growth in part of the block between South and Ross Streets. Plans have been made for the building of a dormitory for 250 male residents and a new dining hall for the entire student body. The new dormitory will probably be built on the unit plan with a designated number of male students per unit. This is to maintain the comrad·e rie of the present dormitory units. Activities Bulletin All attending agreed that the activities calendar in the Student Handbook becomes out-dated soon after the beginning of the fall semester. A remedy for this has been made with the publication of a weekly activities bulletin through Mr. Morris' office. · Any organization having an activity is advised to g1ve the information to Miss Joan: Borowski in Chase Hall before Wednesday, noon. Tuition A discussion of tuition increases brought out the points of rising costs in college operations and a planned increase in faculty salaries. The latter point is the most important reason for the . tuitiori increase. -R9om and board costs are also i_ncreasing next year. Several dormitory . membe.rs present wondered if this increase will facilitate needed repairs in the dormitories. Mr. Morris' comment was a ·r eference to a recent. male dormitory suryey which revealed that only three men's· dormitory students would be willing to leave the present building set-up for a modern dormitory. To quote Mr. Morris, "No matter how many complaints we receive, you still want to remain in the present dormitories." Insurance There was a long discussion on the ten dollar deductible clause of the medical insurance plan. It was brought out that many dormitory students in the throes ·of the present flu epid_emic were hesitant about obtaining medical care because of the initial fee. As a result the germ is pas·s ed quickly from ·p erson to person in the dormitory and classroom. Three nurses in the dormitories have been ·busy making house calls and handing out advice concerni_n g this · illness. Dormitory residents at the meeting were noting th_is service because it was sometimes difficult to get medical attention. They felt that since they must pay the initial office fee, they should be given access to the same office hours as regular p·a tients. Drinking Long a subject of great interest to the student body, the drinking policy of the school came up for discussion at Monday's meeting. The policies committee of the Student Government is preparing a new approach which they hope will find acceptance with the administration. Finale At the end of the meeting Albert Kishel, Student Government president, complimented the students present on their contributions, and added that he had hoped more than twenty-six students would be present and a greater percentage of the some forty-odd organizations be represented. Ed Club Plans Forum Members of the Education Club are planning an April forum to bring together high school members of the Future Teachers of America and Wilkes students majoring in education. The forum will be held on Tuesday, April 3, from 7 to 9 p.m. Ron Grohowski, chairman of the forum, reports that following introductory remarks by Dr. Eugene Hammer, Chairman of the Education Department, and Pat Rossi, ·president of the Education Club, a series of detailed panel discussions will be held. The panel discussions, with Wilkes education majors and high school students participating, will also, according to Grohowski, "afford opportunities for younger students to acquaint themselves with the challenges and rewarding experiences that they will encounter as they prepare for the teaching ·profession." The committee making preparations for this high school-college forum will meet in Parrish Hall on Monday at 7 p.m. Other business before the Education Club at its recent meeting was the organization of a Wilkes Student Teachers Conference which will conduct its first formal meeting in the college Commons tomorrow at 10 :30 a.m., and a motion to conduct educational and explorative field trips to the Kis-Lyn Industrial School and to the "gifted children classes" of •the WilkesBarre Public School System.

'Duke' Coming March 31 For Junior Jazz Junket; Tickets on Sale Now Nancy Palazzolo A series of seminars designed to stimulate intellectual thinking and discussion will begin on Sunday evening at McClintock Hall. · Nancy Palazolla, chairman of the seminar committee for Associated Women Students, has announced that this first seminar will determine whether enough interest is present on campus for a continuation of the series. Dr. Riley, chairman of the psychology department, will lead the first seminar group on a topic of popular concern. All students and faculty members interested in attending are welcome. The seminar will start at 7:30 p.m. Students on campus are familiar with Dr. Riley's presentations, having heard them either in class or at assembly programs. Miss Palazolla stated, "We asked Dr. Riley because of his popularity with the faculty and students, and because we were sure his choice of a topic would be a pertinent one." She continued, "I have received many approving comments about the starting of a seminar series, and I am sure all who attend will consider their time well spent." Opera Company Members To Appear in Assembly Next Thursday's assembly will lend a musical note of cheer to brighten the dreary days of winter on campus. Rosalie De Felice, coloratura soprano, and Bob Tarboax, baritone, of the Binghamton Opera Company, will perform for the student body. Miss DeFelice has had many leads in light operas with the company each season. Mr. Tarboax has also performed in a number of productions with the company. Mary Lou Egan, who is the official accompanist for the Binghamton group, will accompany them on the piano.

While we may not necessarily agree with the reasons for the stand taken by this group, we must recognize the motivation which caused these students to take such a stand. Undoubtedly, most of those who participated had thought a great deal about the problems involved before coming to a conclusion and it is for this that they must be commended. College students must become aware of the existing important problems in the world today. All too often, we become so deeply engrossed in affairs which affect us personally and at the present time, that we fail to see the problems which may have an indirect affect upon us in the future. These students whose concern about this impersonal, national problem was great enough to lead them to take the stand which they have taken have once again brought to light the need for interest and enthusiasm on the part of the college student in the affairs of our country. Our interests must rise above the near and the present and include within their scope the realm of things distant and future. Advancements Made by Peace Corps Is Subject of Magazine Article A year after its inception, the United States Peace Corps has almost 600 volunteers working overseas, with another 200 training at home and some 18,000 a·pplications on file. It has not had the unqualified success that some predicted for it, but neither has it been the catastrophic failure that others feared it would be. Rather, it has established itself as an effective force for international good will. These are among conclusions to be drawn from an article in the March Reader's Digest describing "The Peace Corps One Year Later." Most closely watched of all Peace Corps programs is the communitydevelopment project •i n Colombia. Unlike other Corpsmen who are basically teachers, Colombia's 62 PC'ers are pioneers who work at chores that range from building roads to teaching sanitation to people who have never seen a flush toilet. Aided by the support of President Alberto Lleras Camargo and of the powerful Roman Catholic Church, Colombia's Corpsmen have earned the trust of the people they work with despite Communist charges that they are preparing the country for sale to the United States. But if the Corpsmen have proven themselves abroad, they are still controversial here at home. Opposite views are epitomized by University of Chicago historian Daniel Boorstein, who character:zes the Corps as another demonstration "of both American naivete and arrogance," and by New York University psychologist Morris Stein, who says: "These kids represent something many of us thought had disappeared from America - the old frontier spirit." PC Director Sargent Shriver readily admits that mistakes have been made, but argues: "The fact is that the project works and the job is being done."

Dear Sir: On behalf of the basketball team I'd like to thank the fine student attendance in the latter part of the season. The team effort in the second half of the year was superb and the fine school spirit present at these games undoubtedly was an important factor. To all the loyal fans the basketball team says, "Thanks." Harvey Rosen Co-captain, '62 cagers Wall Divides World, Presents Wide Contrast In Education, Thought A wall can change education and thought. But it cannot harness freedom of the mind that is given a chance to break the chains. Kelly Smith contrasts education on the two sides of the wall in a Daily Kansan editorial. Two girls, university students, walk along the still streets. It's dark. They're talking and laughing now and then as they play a children's game of hop-scotch with the shadows. In another city, two more girls are walking along a street - a quiet street because there is a curfew. There is no laughing. The few words spoken are almost whispers. There are shadows, but no hop-scotch. The difference? The two girls are students at the University of Kansas, USA; the other two are students at Humboldt University, East Berlin. Without further explanation, we recognize immediately that between these girls there is more than distance, more than a language barrier, and more than a mere variety of professors and textbooks - there is a world. A world now separated by a wall. We talk about the "limited, tersely selected material" available to students on the other side of the wall. We talk and complain about the fact that two girls cannot laugh as freely on one campus as on another. We talk about the restrictions of students behind the wall. But what do we do about it? Nothing. And what can we do? We can educate ourselves more aptly and fully. We can learn that there is a difference in degrees of academic freedom, and we can learn that those differences produce two kinds of people Communist-inspired and democratic-inspired. We can learn that freedom of the mind cannot be harnessed within a wall if given a chance to break the chains, and we can learn that one person, one student body, one country is enough to break the vacuum seal over the student, any student, anywhere.

The Beau-Bow Hairdo Need a quick hair set, but you simply can't be seen in curlers? Take heed to the new beau-bow hairdo! Here's how you do it: Separate damp hair into clumps about the size of a fifty cent piece and tie with half-inch-wide ribbon cut about ten inches long, draw the half-knot out to the ends of the hair; tighten, using the knot like a roller; wind the hair up to the scalp; tie the ribbon again. Now who could object to a bunch of bonny ribbons? They'll revive your curls in about half an hour, too!

Friday, March 2, 1962 STUDENT SKETCH Senior Reveals Sound Thoughts On Occupational Philosophy By Barbara A. Lore "E Duco" the Latin base of the word education means "to lead out of the darkness." This exactly fits the philosophy of Mary Ann Foley, senior secondary education major, who views the educator as a dominant, positive force. According to Mary Ann, "The influence of the home on the American child is steadily decreasing. Because of the prevalence of working mothers and the increasing reliance on the school for the molding of youth, many obligations formerly the property of parents have been switched to the teacher. Teat:hers cannot avoid controversial issues but must express opinions and impart values to youth since this may be the only avenue to intelligent appraisal the child has. Controversial issues such as communism must be objectively discussed in the classroom since an intelligent person cannot honestly and effectively reject an idea until he thoroughly understands all its implications." These profound, seriously c o n s i d e r e d thoughts coming not from John Dewey or an education manual, but from a pert, attractive, extremely feminine coed are a bit discon::erting. Mary Ann Foley Writing May Improve With Use of Experts Reading Student Papers A two-year project at Case Institute of Technology is providing one answer to improving the writing abilities of college students. Called the Case Reader Service, the project uses a staff of experts to grade the writing quality of student papers written for non-composition courses in science and engineering. Initially begun two years ago, the Reader Service was applied originally to some 16 courses covering 340 of Case's 1600 undergraduate students. Last year, on an expanded basis, it was applied to 18 courses covering 620 students. This year it has been further e~panded to include the entire sophomore class in the required Physics Laboratory course. The program is in addition to the freshman composition course which all students must take. The Humanities Department has also introduced a new objective grading system in second semester Freshman composition courses. The new system deducts one letter from the grade of a theme for each major grammatical error or every three minor ones · . . The Reader Service proJect employs a staff of reade~ who ch~k papers and confer privately with stude~ts ".11~ 0 demonstrate weakn_ess m wr1tm~. The recommffendatlons ~f the r~aders_ sta_ are taken mt_o co~s1derat1on 1~ _the grades given m the spec1ahzed courses, thus .p roviding an incentive for students to improve their writing skills. Laboratory reports, term papers and analyses are checked for accuracy in grammar, punctuation, spelling and mechanics as well as for clarity, coherence and logic. With a torrent of words flowing from her lips, Mary Ann continued expounding on this subject vitally important to her. "Failing a child is demoralizing. It causes disinterest, discouragement, social problems and leads to further failurea vicious cycle. The basis of many scholastic problems is emotional rather than intellectual, therefore a concentrated effort to discover these underlying problems and alleviate them is much more constructive than indiscriminate failing." As a potential English teacher, Mary Ann enthusiastically claims that this oft-dreaded subject can be presented as a vital, pleasurable experience. She contends that grammar should not be taught out of context but as a technique of effective speech while literature should be viewed as a mirror of man's ntost pulsating thoughts which are of vital practical, as well as aesthetic interest. Realizing that theories must be tested to have validity, she is anxious to test the mettle of her ideas during her student teaching experience at C o u g h 1 i n High School beginning next week. In true scientific spirit, Mary Ann will further experiment with her educational theories when she embarks on her official teaching career next year, preferably in the suburbs outlying Philadelphia so that she can attend graduate school at one of the many universities in the City of Brotherly Love. To conclusively test her ideas and satisfy a lifelong desire, she hopes to teach in Europe in the not-toodistant future. . . In her capacity as pres1de_nt . of the Future Teachers Association at. Kingston High S~~o.o~, Mary Ann J witnessed the pos~1b1h~1e_s of . these groups for effective ha1son work between high school students, potential educators, and professional educators. While at Wilkes she has been a member of TDR, Senior class executive council as well as chairman of the senior class gift committee, and vice-president of the Education Club. In her evaluation of the Wilkes English Department, she found that not only are a wide variety of courses offered to the English major but also that instructors manifest genuine interest in the individual student.

He will visit under the auspices of the American Association of Physics Teachers and the American Institute of Physics as part of a broad, nationwide program to stimulate interest in Physics. The program, now in its fifth year, is supported by the National Science Foundation. The American Association of Physics Teachers is one of the five member societies of the American Institute of Physics. Other member societies are: American Physical Society, Optical Society of America, Acoustical Society of America, and the Society of Rheology. Dr. Lazarus will give lectures, hold informal meetings with students, and assist faculty members with curriculum and research problems. Dr. D. P. Detwiler, Chairman of the Department of Physics at Wilkes is in charge of arrangements for Professor Lazarus's visit. Professor Lazarus, who received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, in 1949 came to the University of Illinois as an instructor, and in 1959 was made a full professor in the Department of Physics. His special interest at present is in solid-state physics and he is author of some 25 papers on this work, mainly in fields of intermetallic diffusion, imperfections in solids, and behavior of solids under high pressure. He also has been connected with military research in fields of electronics. Dr. Lazarus is a member of American Physical Society, American Association of University Professors, and Sigma Xi, and former member of American Society for Metals, and American Association of Physics Teachers. Jaycees Offer Variety to Prospective Members; Assembly on Agenda The Jaycees are making plans for their annual membership drive held in late March and early April. Prospective male members are required to make an application and appear before the assembled members of the club at a special evening meeting. The requirements for membership are a 2.0 or better average, and an active interest in school affairs, particularly the Jaycees. According to Robert Conway, membership chairman, the Jaycees offer the student a chance to develop his talents and abilities so he may more successfully serve his college and community. The Wilkes College Chapter of the Jaycees has the distinction of being the first unit of the Junior Chamber of Commerce on the collegiate level. This achievement has brought them nationwide recognition, Co n way stated. Some of the service projects completed by the Jaycees on campus have helped to beautify the college and the community. The most recent of these projects was the "Retreat Hospital Book Drive" by which the Jaycees acquired some two hundred books for that institution. To help stimulate voters last November the Jaycees sponsored a "Get Out and Vote Campaign." In conjunction with the Greater Wilkes-Barre Junior Chamber of Commerce, the campus Jaycees held a campaign on February 4, 5, and 6 to help bring the 1963 Pennsylvania State Jaycee Convention to Wilkes-Barre. Future plans for members of this organization include sponsoring an assembly.program at which William Johnson, _president of the State Junior Chamber of Commerce will speak; attending the Pennsylvania Jaycee Convention at Allentown in May; holding a bake sale; the annual awards banquet; and ushering for the June graduation exercises. For further information regarding the club, their activities or their coming membership drive, see Robert Conway, or any of the members. Ame,rican Scholars Get Educational Assists As Communities Dig Deep A rapidly-spreading idea to raise "dollars for scholars" is offering American communities a new ap•p roach to the problem of providing scholarships for deserving students. In an article in the March Reader's Digest, Robert O'Brien tells how more than 100 towns and cities are using "home-grown" scholarships to help bright, needy students gain a foothold in college. "Dollars for Scholars" - more formally known as the Citizens' Scholarship Foundation of America - is the brainchild of Dr. Irving A. Fradkin, a Fall River, Mass. optometrist. Concerned because lack of finances was keeping many bright youngsters out of college, Dr. Fradkin in 1958 convinced skeptical Fall River leaders to launch a community scholarship drive. Contributions came from sales of one-dollar "memberships," from religious, civic and business groups, from working men and students. Some $4500 was collected and awarded to 24 outstanding high school seniors. T y p i c a 1 Citizens' Scholarship Foundation gr an ts are small, usually around $250 a year. They are designed to help a youngster get established rather than to pay his way. The success of the Fall River program has spread to other communities in a way that delights Dr. Fradkin. He estimates that by next June there will be more than 100 CSF chapters in 30 states, awarding 1500 scholarships with a total value of $750,000. All C$F scholarships are "no strings attached" gifts although recipients are encouraged to repay the funds if and when they can. As education costs continue to soar and as a college education is more and more the key to a rewarding career, the CSF idea offers every community an exciting opportunity to increase its stake in its own future and that of its young people. As Dr. Fradkin puts it: "It's the communities themselves that stand to gain the most. Year after year, they will be enriched by the return of young men and women they've helped through college." Sorority Plans Tea For Senior High Students The second tea sponsored by Theta Delta Rho Sorority for senior high school girls will be held Wednesday afternoon, March 14, in McClintock Hall from two to five o'cloek. This tea will be held for all girls from the eastern section of Wyoming Valley who either plan to enter Wilkes in September or who desire to acquaint themselves with the campus social atmosphere. Invitations have also been issued to Wilkes faculty and the dormitory housemothers. The women of TDR will act as hostesses and all members are urged to attend. TDR members have planned decorations in accordance with a Saint Patrick's Day theme and will serve refreshments and provide varied entertainment in an attempt to create an informal party atmosphere conducive to friendly conversation. Chairman of the affair is Mary Moritz, who will be assisted by the following: Paula Mesaris, Rosemary Hagel, refreshments; Judy Sisco, Jerry Baird, decorations; An- Shown above are members of Cue and Curtain who will appear in "The Happy Journey to Trenton and Camden" next week at Chase Theater.

Don Jacoby lo Appear on Campus Wednesday in Brass Clinic Usual directing procedures will be reversed next W e d n e s d a y through Saturday at 8 p.m., when two members of Cue and Curtain Society, Stephen Schwartz and Emily Weinberg, direct two oneact plays, The American Dream and The Happy Journey To Trenton and Camden. Since education as well as entertainment is a goal of Cue and Curtain, Schwartz and Miss Weinberg will have the opportunity to learn more thoroughly another aspect of the theater. The student direction will be under the supervision of Mr. Alfred Groh, Cue and Curtain dramatic coach. Stephen Schwartz, senior English major, will direct the biting comedy, The American Dream, which is, according to its author, Edward Albee, "an examination of the American scene, an attack on the substitution of artificial for real values in our society, and a condemnation of complacency, cruelty, emasculation and vacuity; it is a stand against the fiction that everything in this slipping land of ours is peachy-keen ... " Thornton Wilder's The Happy Journey To Trenton And Camden is a light, satirical comedy that presents both realistically and symbolically, a father, mother, son, and daughter attempting a "happy" journey. Of this play Mr. Groh says, "The frequent productions of this play have amply proved its success in creating illusions. It is a telling example of the author's i n g e n u i t y in stimulating the viewer's imagination to supply scenery and properties on a stage bare of everything but chairs." The play is directed by Miss Weinberg, a sophomore mathematics major. Casts have been selected for both plays. The American Dream will star Ruth Friedlander as "Mommy," David Fendrick as "Daddy," Joan Pitney as "Gra'ma," Pat Chapracki as "Mrs. Barker," and David S. Peters as the "young man." The Happy Journey To Trenton and Camden stars Stephen Panken as "Elmer," Marsha Hefferan as "Ma Kirby,'' Lynne Maslanka as "Caroline," Ray Gleason as "The Author," Walter Dexter as "the stage manager," and Sieglinde Vallot as "Beulah." Bob Dew and Jim Stanton are stage managers for both productions, Ed Lipinski and Mindy Weinberg are in charge of lighting, and Arthur Palencar is art director.

The new approach, emphasizing engineering science, "calls for an unusual degree of imagination on the p a rt of instructors." Teachers need both academic and practical experience in both science and engineering, and they need "an unusually fortunate freedom for creative faculty endeavor." 2. Students emerging from new programs may not be adequately prepared for "the team effort which the profession of engineering must represent." They may be too specialized, able only to move toward one of several possible goals. 3. How can all the material which today's students need be covered in a four-year curriculum?

What's wrong with the Colonels? Although never engulfed in an air of invincibility the Colonels have always been respected on the hardwoods as a very formidable team. Basketball fans from all ends of the Valley adopted the team and learned to cheer, cheer for old Wilkes. In recent games the cheers have become mingled with an occasional catcall, for Wilkes was running into trouble. But even though some fans were able to drop lightly the deterioration of Wilkes basketball, no one was prepared for this season's humiliation. Last week's loss to Scranton was the seventeenth of the season - a record for ineptitude unmatched in the school's history. So what is wrong with Wilkes? The answer: plenty. And no one knows it better or more bitterly than Coach Ed Davis, a dejected mentor who weighs his words as though measuring out a prescription. As a youth growing up in nearby Plymouth, Davis learned his basketball in winning doses. From 1950 to 1954 he was a sturdy and aggressive guard on some of Wilkes' solid teams. In 1955 Davis took over the reins of the Wilkes squad and continued with the team in its winning ways as head coach. Throughout the first five years of his mentorship Davis was greeted by a well-balanced crop of athletes from which to form his team. George Morgan, Carl Van Dyke, George Gacha, Fran Mikolanis, and Bernie Radecki are just a few of the men who graced his squads. Although he loyally denies the fact, Davis was shocked by the poor material he inherited this season. Not only was the squad weak in natural ability, but it did not measure up to Davis' stiff standards in fundamentals of passing and rebounding. Last year Davis bravely managed a 7-14 record. This year, with only one freshman of varsity caliber out for the squad, Davis was hit by a numbing series of injuries, including the loss for the season of Dick Morgan, the scrappy field-general of the team. While teams of the past would have found new 'stars' chafing on the bench, this season the bench was bare. But the trouble with Wilkes basketball is far more basic than sidelined stars. When Coach Davis was asked for an answer he fiddled with a pencil and painfully answered, "Time changes many things." . One of the changes is the fact that far fewer local basketball stars automatically long to go to Wilkes. Too many other colleges with bright new reputations are making too many good offers. Rival recruiters score points by warning boys of the high scholastic standards at Wilkes and the "lack of campus life" while dangling full scholarships within their grasp. After one mauling of Wilkes this season, a Hazleton fan remarked, "I don't mind so much losing but to have local products furnish the victory margin for the opponents is too much." Brain vs. Brawn - More important the administration is determinedly hauling up the college's academic standards and sees no reason to grant exceptions to athletes. There are dozens of good basketball players who want to come to Wilkes that can't even be considered. Thus the price of academic progress is athletic trouble. Luckily for Coach Davis he is not measured by any nostalgic calculus of wins, losses, and league championships, but only by the spirit of his team. Davis himself claims to be optimistic about the future, feeling this year's team is just the shell of the team he is going to have. With the ideal of there will always be a segment of qualified students who are good players, he hopefully eyes the future. The poem reads, "Somewhere the sun is shining," ~nd w~o knows, with scoring leader Harvey Rosen back for his senior year and crafty Dick Morgan back in one playable piece, the sun may shine on · Wilkes basketball next year. Chances are Davis, caught between a tough schedule and tough academic standards, may be able to produce an occasional good season, but the golden days of Wilkes basketball are likely to be gone forever.

This brought the final mark for the Colonel hooosters to three wins and seventeen losses. Against Rutgers the old nemesis of first half blues had the outcome of the contest shakv as the Camden club grabbed a 37-31 margin at intermission. John Moore and Harvev Rosen each hit for 12 in the initial half to keep the Wilkesmen in contention. Second half action found the Colonels showin~ their extra spurt as thev outraced their taller opnonents to a tune of 36-21. Rosen continued his fine plav in the second stanza with 14 points while Don Mattey made his finale with a ten point performance. 'Doc' Vosheski aided the locals with his ballhawking tactics for eil?ht points. This marked the last garne in a Blue and Gold uniform for Tom Pugh, Don Mattey, John Moore, Paul Aquilino. All four stalwarts are seniors and will receive their sheepskins in June. Scalp The Warriors Last Saturday evening the Colonels ambushed the Warriors of East Stroudsburg State College in the South Franklin Street gym finale, 85-72. The visitors came to town with a well-publicized fastbreaking team that was famous for running its opposition into the ground. The opening minutes found the Warriors living up to their press clippings as John Polanchak and Russ Hopewell set up Scott Weaver with sharp passes for five quick baskets. After the Teachers took an early lead the Colonels began to chip away at the margin w:ith Harvey Rosen tossing in jump-shots from all angles of the floor. At the half the Davismen were down by a scant two points, 39-37. Again the second half spurt carried the Blue and Gold to victory as they rattled off seven straight baskets before the visitors could score. Rosen combined a 26 point first half with 17 counters in the second . stanza to hit his all-time high and a season's high of 43 points. John Moore tallied 18 points against the Warriors as Tom Pugh and Doc Vosheski combined for 17. Will Ripfly led the Warriors with 22 points while Scott Weaver hit for 18. Tom Pugh turned in a yeoman's job in holding Jack Murphy to a scant eight points, twelve below his average. 18 W.

Would he be the highest scorer? Would he be the top rebounder, the player with the best assist average, or the chief holler-guy? Professional's yardstick, fashioned by the experts through experience, is the following: The most important player to a team is the one it can least afford to lose. Typifying this ideal on hardwoods across the nation are key personnel such as Chet Walker of Bradley, Utah's Bill McGill, three-time All-American Jerry Lucas and John Havelick of powerful Ohio State, and fiarvey Rosen of Wilkes. . Harvey Rosen These players. are prime examples of the basketeers who will grace the All-American teams that will hit the sports front in the near future. Each player is a star. Each player is the backbone of his team with his scoring thrust and floor play, but hidden in the glamour of the h e a d l i n e s is the s t r o n g e s t characteristic each player possesses teamwork. Lucas is currently leading the nation's best in goal percentage as he would rather set up a teammate than take the shot himself. Havelick is the "big defender" for the Buckeyes while Walker is the floorman for the Braves. On the local scene is Harvey Rosen. The six-foot junior has been the scoring leader for the Colonel cagers for the past two years and last year ruled the nation from the foul-line with a phenomenal .910 percentage. This season the lanky guard "slumped" to 88 per cent accuracv from the charity line to lead the MAC and rank with the nation's leaders. PITCHERS, CATCHERS In his last two outings Rosen CALLED TO PRACTICE Coach Mike Dydo has announced scored 69 points with 43 and 26 that baseball practice for pitchers and catchers will begin this afternoon, at 4:00 in the gym.

These scoring surges led the Wilkesmen to impressive v i c t o r i e s over East Stroudsburg and Rutgers of South Jersey. This season Rosen hit 152 goals and 128 fouls for a 432 point total. This gave the Ashley Hall resident a 21.3 point per game average. In addition to playing the "scoring thrust of Wilkes", Rosen pulled in 116 rebounds and was credited with an · unscored amount of assists. · · Since the _underlying characteristic of hoop greatness is teamwork, many instances of Rosen's qualities could be written. One of the most recent was during Saturday's upset of Stroudsburg where Rosen was enjoying the best offensive show of his career. With 37 points tucked under his belt and a hot hand on the ball, coach Davis gave orders to set up "the Rose". Harvey rebelled and instead showed a plan of attack where he would sacrifice points to act as a decoy for his teammates. For his outstanding play and teamwork the Beacon sports staff congratulates Harvey Rosen as this issue's "Athlete of the Week' r and wish him continued success.

Second row: Dave Intramural Hoop Loop Nears End; Playoff Berths Still Available With the standings still uncertain and every team eligible for a playoff berth the Intramural League hoopsters head into the last week of competition. The Serutans head the American League with an unblemished record while the Faculty Five head the race for National League honors. The play showed lots of spark in recent games with two contests being decided in the closing moments by sharp shooting and the usual runaway a feature in another game. American League action between the Serutans and the Heads found the two squads going into three overtimes before the Serutans grabbed a scant one-point victory. Lee Wasilewski, the moose of Moosic, and Len Yoblonski led the victors with 18 and 10 point outbursts. The winners played without Phil Russo who was sidelined with a case of evening-classitis. Joe Bond and Tom Carver led the Heads with 23 points between them. In a National League cliff-hanger the Jets buzzed a last minute goal through the nets to edge Gore Hall, 45-44. Johnny Lore, who led the Jets with 18 counters, was the missileman for the victors as his jump shot ripped the nets with only two seconds remaining. John Adams, with an assortment of hook shots and jumpers, led the Goremen with 18 points while Tom Trosko of the Jets and Gore's Larry Gubanich each scored 10. In the biggest runaway of the evening the Shawneeites got back on the winning track after dropping a decision to Serutans by scalping the Biology Club, 78-22. Dick Bellas and Ray Frey led the Biomen with 14 points between them while the Indians from Plymouth sertt five men in double figures. Matt Himlin led the attack with 21 points while John Tensa, Barry Bryant, Stan 'Tosh' Karmilovich, and Tom Lewis scored heavily in the rout.

CAMPUS HUMOR from the "Readt1r's Digest" The police notified a woman that her husband was perched on the 12th-story ledge of a midtown hotel, threatening to commit suicide. The wife raced to the hotel. While police held her outside the window, she pleaded with her distraught husband not to jump. "You have so much to live for," she told him. "The car isn't paid for, the TV isn't paid for, even the freezer isn't paid for." lady was gay and sparkling. "You see?" said the psychiatrist. "That's all your wife needs, I suggest she receive the same treatment every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday." "If you say so," said the husband. "But there's one hitch. I can bring her on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but on Saturdays I play golf." 'PIUlltut•: IOSTON, LOS ANGELES LONDON * * • The latest wrinkle on coast-tocoast flights is full-length movies.

The Wilkesmen will be looking for their sixth consecutive crown in the tourney but are expected to find lots of strong competition in the race. Leading the Blue and Gold grapplers into the tournament will be defending 123-pound titlist Brooke Yeager who won "Outstanding Wrestler" laurels last year. Brooke has been undefeated this season and will carry a long skein of winning matches into the competition. Lee Wolfe of Lycoming is e:icpected to give the Colonels' pride and joy the stiffest competition for the crown. Ted Toluba will be one of the top contenders for the 177-pound title as the Colonels' captain has retained the winning ways of his freshman year when he reigned in the l57-pound class. Rounding out the Wilkesmen in the tourney are Tom Gladtke in the 137-pound competition, Dave Puerta in the 130, freshmen Bob Ziegler and John Gardner at the 147 and 157-pound posts, 177-pound Bob Herman, and Jim Brunza in the heavyweight division. The top competition for the Wilkes matmen for the team title is reportedly coming from Bucknell, who just completed an undefeated season; Moravian, Lycoming, and Hofstra. The Colonels will be out to uphold the tradition that has carried them to five consecutive MAC championships under their able coach, John Reese. Past seasons have found the Colonels ruled out of contention because of the "green" squads but the grunt and groan squad has always found the extra spark to end the tourney as "kings. of the MAC mats". Last Saturday afternoon Coach Reese's grapplers closed out the dual meet season by presenting Gettysburg College with a 27-3 defeat in their home gym. The Bullets came through with only one decision as they were outclassed by the well-coached Colonels. After Brooke Yeager won on forfeit, Dave Puerta turned in an 11-7 decision over Ron Kline in a fast-moving bout. Dave used a number of take-downs to gain the victory. At 137 pounds Tom Gladtke enabled his team to take a 13-0 lead as he also won on forfeit. John Gardner followed with a 3-2 verdict over Gettysburg's Ray Bushnell. The match was not particularly exciting with each wrestler displaying evident respect for the other's ability. , The only fall of the afternoon was executed by Bob Ziegler as he applied a cradle hold to pin his opponent in 6 :35 minutes. Bob has been a consistent p e r f o· rm e r throughout the season and this match was an example of his mat prowess. Ted Toluba followed Ziegler to the mat and came up with a 7-1 nod over his able opponent. Ted rolled up an early margin and had his adversary in trouble a number of times. In the 177 pound division, Bob Herman was edged by Joe Young of the Bullets, 4-3. Bob was in the bout all the way and, according to a number of people who witnessed the clash, was the victim of inferior officiating. Jim Brunza closed the meet with a 3-1 decision over Herb Shriner of the Bullets. Jim outmuscled his heavier foe to fashion the win. The matmen, by this victory over Gettysburg College, ended the season with a record of four wins, two losses, and two ties. �WILKES 'COLLEGE 6 Ballet Guild lo Present Annual Performance al Irem Temple by Mary Alice Gabla The Wilkes-Barre Ballet Guild will present its annual performance Saturday, March 17 at the !rem Temple, North Franklin Street, Wilkes-Barre.

TRIP The Psychology - Sociology Club will hold a very important meeting on Tuesday, February 27 at 11:00 a.m. in Conyngham 103. The meeting will be presided over by the following new officers: Joe Gelli, president; Tom Faris, vice-president; Barbara Savitski, secretary; and Mike Winslow, treasurer. An important issue on the agenda will be the discussion on the trip to New York. The trip will occur either the last weekend of April or the first weekend of May. The students will visit the psychological laboratories of Columbia University and the New School of Psychology. Mr. Joseph Kanner, instructor of Psychology, will accompany the group. At the meeting, Dr. Riley will speak to the club about the survey which the Psychology department has made concerning the replacement of families in the redevelopment of Wilkes-Barre's H a z l e Street area. . This year helping the students decide their choice will be a panel of judges from -college personnel. These judges are Dr. Francis Michelini, Mr. Kent Kirby, Mr. Richard Chapline, Dr. Ruth Jesse, Miss Mildred Gittins, and Mrs. Livingston Clewell. Judging points which all should look for are: a good figure and excellent posture; clean, shining, wellkept hair; good grooming - not just neat but impeccable; a deft hand with makeup ( enough to look pretty but not overdone); a clear understanding of her fashion type; imagination in managing a clothes budget; a workable wardrobe plan; individuality in her use of colors; accessories; a suitable campus look (she's in line with local customs); and appropriate - not rah rah look for off.campus occasions. Student Government Makes Plans For Student Leaders Conference Notification of the next planned date for the Student Leaders' Conference was given at Monday's Student Government meeting. The time is Monday evening at 6 p.m. in the Commons. At this time the students will have the opportunity to discuss any subject matter which affects campus activiy. Any topic for discussion should be submitted to the Student Government mail box by Monday at noon. Refreshments will be served. County Vote Machines To Be Used in Elections To Fill Class Vacancies Freshman and sophomore elections will be held on Friday, March 2, to fill vacant class offices. Lou Coopey, judge of elections, and assistant Thomas Penhale have announced that voting machines have been obtained from the county to be used in the tabulation. The polls will be located in the cafeteria lounge and will be open between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Friday. Jeff Gallet, chairman of the committee investigating the parking problem, stated that fewer car-pool tickets were sold than was expected. Those who purchased the pool tickets will still be able to use them. The Government voted to allot $120 from the intercollegiate conference fund to defray expenses of twelve students attending the Intercollegiate Conference on Government model general assembly in Harrisburg. Total expenses for the trip will be approximately $267.60. The assembly will be held at the end of next month. Eelections for new class officers and Student Government representatives will be held next Friday in the lounge of the Commons. Regular voting machines will be used and the numerical results will be posted. Students from both classes were nominated last Tuesday to fill vacated positions.

Shoup of the United States Marine Corps. General Shoup said that Marines are taught "faith and confidence." "We Don't teach them to hate. Hatred is poison," he said. It is closely related to the fear which breeds defeatism instead of victory. It is "a disease that we cannot afford if we are to maintain our position in the family of freedom-loving people." Hatred, as a disease, causes its victims to forget good intentions and sometimes makes the result of the good they do of no effect. General Shoup has given over 200 speeches without mentioning Communism. As the Monitor editors stated, however, "if hatred is not for the Marines, it is not for those who combat Communism on the political level." May we, in figthing Communism, "be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." Letter to the Editor ... Dear Editor: Ever since the snow fell last week, and due to the periods of thaw and frost, a sheet of ice formed on many of the pavements which are controlled by the college. No work has been done by the maintenance crew to salt or even sand these danger spots. I realize that the crew is kept busy, but don't you think that the welfare of the several hundred students is important enough to bring about the correction of such a hazard? Friday, February 23, 1962 STUDENT SKETCH Richard Rees, Active in Athletics/ Gives Views on Education by Gloria Zaludek Richard Rees, the subject of this week's student sketch, might have stepped from one of those sidewalk posters, emblazoned with the now-famous adage: "The Marine Corps Builds Men." An average boy - blond, blue-eyed, handsome, wellbuilt - Rick was moulded into a tough Marine Corporal with an interest in history. In approximately two weeks, this senior will turn loose his rugged charm and his knowledge of history as he begins student teaching in one of the local high schools.

Mariella College Publishes Manual · To Assisi Faculty Advisors A manual for Marietta College's faculty advisors to help them evaluate the academic potential of their freshman advisees has been produced by Jack M. Scott, director of college-high school relations at the college. The manual discusses the interpretation of objective admissions data in predicting or determining just how well a student should do. Scott presents guides for evaluating a student's high school record, discussing in detail: type of course, grades, rank-in-class, c o 11 e g e recommending grade, recommendation of high school official, and secondary school test scores. A second section deals with the use of Scholastic Aptitude Test scores to determine a student's relative ability and to predict his performance. Scott found that when the two objective predictors are used - rank-in-class and SAT scores - the rank-in-class should receive 67 per cent weight and the SAT score 33 per cent. The final section of the manual tells the advisor how to use both the high school record and test scores to identify "over-achievers" and "under-achievers" among freshmen. WHAT - WHERE - WHEN - Elizabeth Taylor Look, Hip Hugger Sportswear Herald Spring Fashions by Nancy Tinklepaugh and Maryann Wilson The Elizabeth Taylor look is expected to sweep the nation this spring. This look is a frilly blouse which comes in pastel checks such as, pink and white, plain white, or pastel solids. The blouse can be very frilly or just softly feminine depending on how many ruffles it has. Some of the blouses have a single ruffle about the neck and cuffs of the sleeves while others have a mass of ruffles at the neck, down the front of the blouse, about the cuffs of the sleeves, and around the hem of the blouse. This look has also been carried out in some of the prettiest dresses for spring. A new and daring style for spring and summer is the hip hugger look. Skirts, slacks, and Bermuda shorts are now cut to hang on the hips instead of fit the waist. Two piece bathing suits which are supposed to catch on this season after two unsuccessful seasons are also featuring this look. For you gals with slim hips and a little daring, the hip hugger look can be very attractive. Richard Rees Rick, a social studies major, will graduate in June with a bachelor of science degree in secondary education. Of the Wilkes history department, he says, "In my opinion, the members of the department not only present material in an enlightening and understandable way but relate men to events in history, making the past as interesting as the present. Rick's "present," however, is also quite interesting. He has been a four-year member of the Lettermen's Club and is its present vicepresident. A two-year member of the ICG, he is student chairman of the Chapter and its Northeastern Pennsylvania publicity director. Rick has played football at the College for four years and was cocaptain of this year's squad. He has served his class as a member of its executive council and is now one of its representatives on the Student Government. When asked what were his feelings concerning bis years of Wilkes, Rick, who was named to Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities, answered in words which seemed to echo the Marine Corps motto: "Semper Fidelis." "As one continues here he grows attached to the College and realizes a certain loyalty to it. He feels proud of it now, and he will feel even more so after graduation." Rick expressed his satisfaction with the tremendous improvements made in the athletic program here, specifically making mention of the recent acquisition and renovation of Artillery Park. He believes, however, that the College needs better facilities for student teachers on campus. He pointed out that the rooms in which student teachers prepare for actual teaching do not present natural situations. In some instances, these rooms are too small or have inadequate blackboard space and are thus not comparable to actual elementary and secondary classrooms. Finally, Rick sees a need for bet(continued on page 4) University of Detroit i Raises Graduate School Admission Requirement Detroit, Mich. - The Graduate School at the University of Detroit has raised admission requirements from 2.5 to 2.7 overall average in undergraduate work. The change, made by the Graduate Council, requires all applicants to have the 2.7 for at least the final 60 hours of undergraduate work. In addition, they must have a 2.75 in their field of graduate specialization. Rev. Allen P. Farrell, S.J., dean of the Graduate School, said the change is the result from a need to bring admissions standards more in line with those of top Graduate Schools in the country. "This will mean," he said, "if past evidence is valid, that instead of the usual one-third rejections, at least onehalf of the applicants will be turned down. · Manuscript Film, "Pather Panchali" - Stark 116, Tonight, 7 p.m. Cherry Tree Chop - Gymnasium, Tonight, 9 :00 p.m. Levittown-Trenton Alumni Chapter Meeting - Bristol Motel, Tonight, 8:30 p.m., Mr. George Ralston, ,Speaker.

Mr. Gordon Roberts, Executive Alumni Secretary "Undoubtedly Colonel Glenn's successful flight will have positive scientific and technological implications. However, I believe the most profound implication related to this historic event is that is was listened to and watched by the entire world at the invitation of a nation which believes in an open and free society. I believe this successful space endeavor will help to convince other countries of the United States' strength and knowhow; I hope many Americans are convinced, also!" Mr. George Elliot, Assistant Professor of Economics "I hesitate to say this on a day of deserved national pride and achievement, but I doubt that Glenn's flight will make one iota of difference in world affairs. I say this with full appreciation for the present and future contributions of American science to ourselves and to the world. "The question assumes that world affairs are like an athletic contest where the only thing that counts is who scored the last basket. This is an important, but isolated, battlefield in a struggle of vast scope. We should be proud, but we should not delude ourselves into any false sense of security and we should not divert ourselves from other equally important issues and problems." �WILIES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, February 23, 1962 3 Wrestlers Close With Gettysburg Matmen Close Season With Veteran Bullets; Moravian Triumphs Tomorrow afternoon the wrestlers close out the dual meet season at Gettysburg against an experienced Bullet squad. Gettysburg is currently enjoying another successful season and are a much better team than the one that succumbed to the Wilkesmen last season. Brooke Yeager will be back on the mat for the Colonels after a week's absence due to a bout with the ffu. After the Gettysburg meet only the Middle Atlantic Conference Tournament remains on the matmen's schedule. Last Saturday evening the grapplers suffered their first home defeat in nine years, as they were edged by a potent Moravian squad. The victory, as it turned out, resulted from a Wilkes loss of the opening contest of the evening. Ned McGinley, substituting for an ill Brooke Yeager, was pinned in 7 :22 by Dave Wilson.

The Wilkes team will be facing their opposition who, at this time, have a 3-2 mark. In the swimming tilt at Pennsylvania Military College I a s t Saturday, Wilkes succumbed to their host in a 56-38 defeat, as the aquamen managed only two event wins. The diving event, captured by J. J. Miller, with Ron Masters placing second, and the 400-yard freestyle race, composed of Jack Barnes, Ron Masters, J. R. Miller, and J. J. Miller, were the extent of Wilkes' victories. Jack Barnes, a budding contender, has been with the team only one season, and has added many vital points when he placed second in two of the matches. Tomorrow's event will be Wilkes' last contest of the season and Ken Young expects a grand finale from his boys. REHAB.

Rich, who plans to be a high school science teacher, succeeds Bob Januszko as team captain. Bellas as a sophomore and junior compiled an amazing record for the Colonel divot-diggers, having gone through two years of Middle Atlantic Conference play undefeated. One of the best competitors ever to play on the golf team in its fiveyear existence, Rich has a cool, even temperament, unusual among collegiate golfers. Certainly the feat for which he may be most proud occurred in the 1960 match against Scranton at Fox Hill. When his driver went so sour that it cost him a point for the front nine holes, Bellas proceeded to play the back nine with irons exclusively and came home with a two-one victory. While the loss of Bob Januszko, Al Stralka, Joe Hiznay, and John Pierce will make unlikely a repetition of last year's 6-3 season, it will be interesting to observe for how long the new captain can keep his individual winning streak alive. Six dual meets, a triangular meet and a pair of tournaments make up the 1962 golf schedule for the Colonels. The return of Juniata and Albright to the schedule means that the golfers will have a hard time living up to the 6-3 record compiled last season. Giving the team strength at the top will be veterans John Adams, Jim Ward, and Captain Rich Bellas. Adams, in his third year on the squad, was one of the five junior golfers from the Allentown area. He is capable on any given day of beating any golfer in the Middle Atlantic Conference. Hard-working Jim Ward, veteran of a decade with the United States Marines, had what was for him a most disappointing inaugural season. The trouble that wasn't corrected until late summer provided Jim with many woes. The Mississippi native is a long-accurate iron shooter who must fill the spot left by Al Str~lka if the Blue and Gold golfers are to have a winning season.

Important, therefore, is the constructive thought which should go into a consideration of the potential for different approaches, more effective programs, and better developed methods of student involvement, all leading to more extensive effects resulting from both action and thought. These seminars can produce only as much as the thought that goes into them."

Cold Weather Enthusiasts Meet to Form Ski Club A movement which started as a snowball at the Winter Carnival a few weeks ago has turned into an avalanche. More than two dozen ski enthusiasts turned out for an organizational meeting of a college Ski Club last Friday. At this meeting Bernie Cohen, a junior biology major, was elected chairman pro temp of the group and a committee consisting of Ted Toluba, Bill Hall, and Marsha Silvers was appointed to look into the possibilities of becoming a recogni~ed campus organization. On Tuesday evening, 14 of the infant club's members attended a meeting of the Wyoming Valley Ski Club. Those who attended had the opportunity to obtain information on the club's organization, hints on skiing, and area facilities. Three ski films were also shown. Future meetings will be announced; anyone interested in the sport is invited to attend. Beginners are welcome. -------------- Debating Team Places Seventh in Annual Garvey Tournament The varsity debate squad participated in the 12th Annual Garvey Invitational Debate Tournament at King's last weekend. The squad, composed of John Campbell and Lynne Dente on the affirmative and Jerome Krasa and John Pikulski on the negative, compiled an overall record of six wins and four losses and placed seventh in a field of 34 schools entered. The affirmative team met and defeated teams from Duquesne, Colgate, and Drew Universities while dropping decisions to St. John's, Hillcrest College, and Washington and Lee University. The negative team defeated teams from St. John's College, Ohio University, and Brandeis University while losing to Duquesne University and Augustana College, the tournament winner. Entering the final round of the tournament which pitted strength against strength after the first round, the Wilkes team was actually in second place. However, since it dropped two decisions in the last round while the eventual winners picked up at least one, they dropped to seventh in the final standings. Later in the semester, the team has scheduled meets at Pace College, Colgate University, Bucknell University, and College Misericordia. Plans are being discussed for entering the District 7 elimination meet at the College of William and Mary at Williamsburg, Virginia. This match is the elimination match for teams that will later participate in the national finals at West Point Military Academy. Michelini Will Discuss Drinking Al Next Assembly Program One of the most familiar and friendly figures on the campus is Dr. Francis Michelini, the featured speaker at assembly next Thursday. Dr. Michelini whose topic will be, "The Physiological Effects of Alcohol on the Human Body," feels that early summers spent on his grandfather's farm and his grandfather's deep appreciation of nature probably awakened and influenced his interest in science. Dr. Michelini left college after his freshman year to join the Army Air Corps where he was a radio operator. After the war he returned to college and received a B.S. degree in chemistry from Seton Hall University. He continued his studies at the University of Delaware where he earned his M.S. degree in biology. While at D e I a w a r e he was awarded an Atomic Energy Fellowship for research on radioactive effects on plant materials. At the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned his doctorate degree, he continued his studies on plants and wrote 'his doctoral thesis on plant metabolism. As a result of this interest in the metabolic activities of plant materials, Dr. Michelini developed a side interest in alcoholproducing plants and the physio- logical effects of alcohol on humans. His assembly subject was first considered as a lecture topic when the Pittston Lions Club asked him to speak to their group. Dr. Michelini feels the subject is of particular importance since many people have been presented with more myth than fact rgearding the effects of alcohol. In his lecture Dr. Michelini will present the more upto-date scientific view on the effects of alcohol. He also plans to discuss some of the differences between the various types of alcoholic beverages in terms of their nutritional value and alcoholic content. In regard to alcoholic content, Dr. Michelini indicated that there is more to "proof" than is generally understood. He will relate some of the traditional myths referring to the effects of Tonight - 8:30 Irem Temple STUDENT WEEKLY WII...Km COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA Five Music Majors Will Present Senior Piano Recital Sunday Concordia Concert Kiwanis Branch Formed By College s_tudents, Known as Circle KClub The organizational meeting of the Circle K Club of the WilkesBarre Kiwanis was held recently on the Wilkes College campus. At this meeting Victor F. Baiz, chairman of the Circle K groups of the Wilkes-Barre K i w a n i s, explained the objectives and functions of these auxiliaries, and then introduced A.H. Ackerson, Lt. Governor, Pennsylvania Kiwanis Division 15, who spoke at length about the Kiwanis in general. Following a question and answer period, the club was officially organized with temporary officers being elected. William D. Carver will serve as president; Edward Comstock, vice-president; Michael Cebula, s e c re tar y; and Douglas Haughwout, treasurer. Membership in the club is open to all the young men of Wilkes, but especially freshmen and sophomores are urged to join. All members will receive pins and membership cards on Charter Night to be held at the end of the semester. Future meetings will be held on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1962 Accounting Internships Send Seniors Throughout Country by Jerome Krasa College seniors are often criticized for the semi-natural tendency they seem to have of allowing the quality of their work to slacken off during their last semester. Few, however, are granted the opportunity presented eleven of our students of leaving the campus entirely for the first six weeks of that semester. The students in this case are senior accounting majors and they are participating in an annual program set up by the college to acquire field work in accounting prior to graduation. These internships are provided to give the student practice in the work he would be doing if he were an actual part of the firm. The internship program, itself, is designed to last for six weeks, during which time the student acts as a regular part of the firm for which he is working. The program, this year, achieved national scope with one of the boys accepting an internship in the Los Angeles office of an accounting firm. Mr. Robert Capin, instructor in the accounting department and head of the c o 11 e g e internship program, said that the only function the college plays in the program is to get representatives of the firms to come to the campus to interview the students. He noted that Mr. John Chwalek is responsible for having the firm send a representative but .that once the representative appears on campus there is no further participation in the program on the part of the college. Each representative interviews students and makes an Clyde Roberts offer, which the student is free - - - - - - - - - - - - - - · , A . e i t h e r to accept ; or reject.

Friday, February 16, 1962 ' COLLEGE BEACON STUDENT SKETCH Letter to the Editor Dear Sports Editor: Your letter came as quite a surprise to me! I read your letter and announcement, and I still can't quite believe it. I feel very honored to be part of such a group that encompasses 10 years. I would like to thank the people who voted and who thought enough of my basketball ability to include me as a member of the Dream Team. Little things such as this certainly make one feel a bit warmer inside; I only wish that I could be on hand to take part in the festivities on February 10. Unfortunately, St. Louis is quite a distance from Wilkes-Barre, and since time is rather short, I find it necessary to stay here. Either Younsu Koo or George Elliot, I hope, will be happy to accept my award and forward it to me. And may I thank you for it in advance. Again, thank you for the consideration. Carl Van Dyke Chemists Visit Sites Which Relate to Major; Plan Future Trips The Chemistry Club recently made a day-long trip to the Merck Chemical Company plant Danville. The Merck Company · is a local division of one of the nation's· largest refined chemical producers. At this time, members of the club also visited the Joseph Priestly House in nearby Northumberland, Pa. Priestly, an English scientist who experimented with air, oxygen, and respiration, spent his last years in America, and his Northumberland home contains the original laboratory apparatus used in his experiments.

In the second five-minute overtime the Greyhounds sent three shots through the hoop to end the marathon. Moravian opened the contest with an eight point lead but the Colonels closed the gap to tie the score at 23-all on the shooting of Harvey Rosen. The Greyhounds put on a full-court press and added twelve points to their total before the Colonels could break into the scoring column again. Halftime came with the visitors holding a 37-27 margin. The Davismen surged the second half and tied their taller opponents, 67-67, in the closing minutes. Top shooting by Rosen and two clutch baskets by Tom Pugh led the comeback. The two squads traded baskets in the closing moments to end the regulation time. In the first overtime Rosen and Ernie Kosman traded baskets and Wolfson put the Bethlehem men into the lead before Pugh knotted the score for the twelfth time with a pair of free throws. Kosman was the big noise in the second overtime as he ripped the nets with three jump shots for the margin of victory. John Moore and Don Mattey scored for the Colonels. Rosen was the top scorer for the Colonels with 30 points while Kosman hit for a like number for Moravian. Moore took runnerup honors with 14 points. ~~~~~~~~~~ e PENN BARBER SHOP e Next Door to Y.M.C.A. 3 Barbera at Your Service Jame■ J. Baiera, Prop.

COLLEGE BEACON AUTUMN LEAVES SILVER SCULPTURI! TARA ( continued from page 1) the field of accounting and Wilkes is fortunate to have the program at the college. Mr. Capin said that, although all colleges in the country don't participate in the program, our students are in competition with boys from colleges throughout the country. H e further noted that if the firm liked the performance of the intern working with it, a permanent job after graduation was not unusual. Here, also, the college stays free of the boy's choice. The reason for Roberts being sent so far west, Mr. Capin said, was that Haskins and Sells wants to see how eastern college boys fit in with their western office. This is the farthest one of our students has been sent in this program. Commenting on last year's program, Mr. Capin concluded, that our interns were compared favorably with those from other schools and a number of them were offered permanent positions with the firm with which they had interned.

Miss Benisch received a bouquet of pink carnations and white porn porns, and a charm bracelet. Her royal duty consisted of distributing goblets to all male escorts during intermission. Lettermen Go It Again At Annual Cherry Chop "Can she bake a cherry pie Billy boy, Billy boy?" Nobly the Lettermen's Club will ease the pain of male students forced to answer this query negatively by serving free cherry pie during intermission at the Cherry Tree Chop next Friday evening. Lest cynics too hastily conclude that eherry pie is the only boon offered by the Lettermen at their annual soiree, consider these other attractions. Dr. Francis J. Michelini, former monopolistic holder of four consecutive Pie Eating Championships, will attempt to recapture his title from Jerry Mohn, defending champion, who gorged his way to glory last year. Buzzing saws and groaning men will usher in the traditional logsawing contest f eaturing Dr. Michelini and Dean Ralston pitted against two hardy opponents representing the Lettermen's Club - a further enticement to diversion-seeking students. To conclusively squelch any arguments against attending, Rick Rees and Jerry Mohn, co-chairmen of the affair, respectfully submit the theory that the fifty cent donation is tax deductible since its destination is the Lettermen's Scholarship Fund - indeed a charitable cause.

Morgan, tomorrow evening between the wrestling meet and the basketball game at the gym. George obtained this honor by virtue of a voluntary poll of the administration, faculty, and friends of the College. The poll was conducted under the auspices of the Sports Publicity Office, Arthur Hoover, director, and the Beacon Sports Department, George Tensa, sports editor. George Morgan - "Outstanding Colonel Cager" Morgan graduated from Wilkes in 1958, with a B.S. degree in Business Administration, leaving behind him a series of notable records. George enjoyed his finest season during the 1956-57 campaign. During that year he poured in 514 points for an all-time single-season Wilkes record. The significance of this feat becomes more striking when one considers that he also had a 57 per cent field goal average. The 6'4" center, in addition to his offensive capabilities, possessed outstanding defensive skills, as he averaged 16 rebounds per game. In national small college rankings for 1957, George placed ninth in total scoring and tenth in field goal percentage. For his performance during .that season he was DEBATE TOURNEY TODAY AT KING'S The Wilkes College Debating Society, under the direction of Dr. Arthur N.

Approximately 36 varsity squads have registered for the tournament, among them Augustana, former national champions. College Matches Gift Of Senior Class for Language Laboratory ? The Senior class gift committee has completed preliminary plans for obtaining a college language laboratory. President Joseph Shambe announced that the Administration has agreed to match the gift fund provided by the Seniors, thus enabling the class to present enough equipment to accommodate 21 students at one time. Shambe wants to extend his personal thanks as well as the appreciation of the class to both the Administration and members of the Language Department for their efforts in making possible an additional monetary grant necessary for the purchase of the equipment. He further said that the equipment " will be ordered by the end of this week, and that the language equipment may be available for use on an experimental basis this semester. Shambe also announced that Mr. Gordon Roberts, Alumni Secretary, will distribute copies of the Alumnus to all seniors once a month at compulsory class meetings. The first issue will be given to the Seniors at their meeting later this month. Later in the semester, the class has proposed both a dinner dance and a class outing. At this time, plans for these affairs are tentative and will be completed as the semester progresses. 1a:e~~catote!~.

Oueen to Be Selected Tonight At TDR Valentine Formal by Barbara A. Lore A quickening pulse beat, fluttery feeling in the stomach, beads of perspiration on the forehead, flooding of the face with color - these are the emotions experienced by every red-blooded coed on Wilkes campus when the talk turns to the vital question of "Who will reign tonight as queen of Heart Wonderland, the Theta Delta Rho Valentine formal?" Unfortunately for the emotional quietude of the fair sex on campus, this is a question which cannot be resolved immediately. Not until intermission time when "chance" guides the hand of Mrs. Gertrude Doane, Dean of Women, toward the winning ticket stub will the tension be relaxed and both joy and momentary disappointment abound. The chosen daughter of fate will receive a sterling silver bracelet with a sterling silver heart charm - one side of which will be inscribed" TDR Queen 1962" and the other side vacant awaiting the inscription of her name. A bouquet of pink carnations and porn porns will grace the arm of her majesty while a tiara will adorn her fair head. After her crowning by Barbara Piledggi, president of TDR, the queen will distribute among her subjects, favors prepared under the guiding hands of Jeanne Mattern and Rowena Simms. When the excitement subsides, the guests will resume dancing to the music of Herbie Green and his orchestra, who will play before a gigantic heart backdrop created by Ruth Boorom. Her majesty will reign over a wonderland of hearts and color as a result of the efforts of Jane Woolbert and Janet Ainsworth, chairmen of the decorating committee.

So said Cathy DeAngelis, class president, as she recently detailed some of her class's activities. The "rather unusual activity," still in ·the planning stage, is a 12act comedy series titled "A Town Show." The show, presented by an all-volunteer cast of freshmen and backed up by the Wilkes band, is "unusual" because, as Miss DeAngelis says, "The aim of the project is fun-raising rather than fundraising - there will be no admission charge." work in clinical and counselling psychology at New York University.

Tips to Keep Your Face Looking Its Best With Natural Glow �WILKF.S COLLEGE BEACON Friday, February 9, 1962 Reed and Barton Offer Awards For Ten Best Table Designs During the months of February and March, Reed & Barton, America's oldest major silversmith, are conducting a "Silver Opinion Competition" in which valuable scholarship awards totalling $2050 are being offered to duly enrolled women students at a few selected colleges and universities. Wilkes College has been selected to enter this Competition in which the First Grand Award is a $500 cash scholarship; Second Grand Award is a $300 scholarship; Third Grand Award is a $250 scholarship; Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Awards are $200 scholarships; and Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and Tenth are $100 scholarships. In addition, fine china and crystal with a retail value of approximately $50.00 will be awarded as prizes. In the "Silver Opinion Competition", an entry form illustrates twelve designs of sterling with nine designs of both china and crystal. (Entrant simply lists what he considers the six best combinations of these to match certain design periods.) Awards will be made to those entries matching or coming closest to the unanimous selections of table-setting· editors from three of the nation's leading magazines. Maryann Wilson and Nancy Tinklepaugh are the Student Representatives who are conducting the "Silver Opinion Competition" for Reed & Barton at Wilkes College. Those interested in entering the "Silver Opinion Competition" should contact Maryann or Nancy for entry blanks and for complete details concerning the Competition rules. Both Maryann and Nancy have samples of 12 of the most popular Reed & Barton designs so that entrants can see how these sterling patterns actually look. Through the opinions on silver design expressed by college women competing for these scholarships, Reed & Barton hopes to compile a valuable library of expressions of young American taste. Jackets Are Required For Evening Meal in 'Caf' YMCA •offers Course In Senior Life Saving; Classes Start Monday The official announcement has come from the Inter-Dormitory Council with the backing of Dean George Ralston. From now on it will be necessary for every male dormitory student to wear a jacket if they want to eat dinner in the Commons. Dean Ralston stated at Tuesday's I.D.C. meeting that the students had made the rule in the first place, and secondly it was best for the decorum of the college. Girls are expected to follow suit. Also at this meeting, the representatives from the dormitories decided to meet at 5:15 p.m. instead of 5 :30 p.m., Tuesday on the second floor of the Commons. Trade Lecture Wednesday This Wednesday the League of Women Voters will sponsor a noon luncheon at Hotel Sterling. Guest speaker for the occasion will be Mr. Louis C. Grauthoff, a member of the Commission for a National Trade Policy, whose topic for discussion will be "United States and the Common Market." Tickets can be purchased at the Library from Mrs. Vujica at a cost of $1.85 per person. Mrs. Vujica has announced that those who are interested in only the lecture may join the group at 12:45 without cost. The Central YMCA, a member agency of . the United Fund, will hold a coed Senior Life Saving Course each Monday evening at 7 :30. Classes will be held ori Monday and Wednesday evenings from 7:30 to 9:30 at the YW-YMCA building until 22 hours are completed.

Further, to increase the Court's responsibility to the Student Government, the Solons deleted the phrase, " ... if contrary to that by the Student Government," from Article 7, Section 3, Paragraph 2. This change requires the Court to submit all its decisions to the Student Government. In the past, the Court had to submit only those decisions which were " ... contrary to those of the Student Government." The Solons concluded their official business in short order by imposing a $5 fine upon _the PsychSoc Club for its late submission of a February 10 activity form, approving activity forms for The Manuscript, Chapman Hall, and TDR, and submitting a Student Government budget report which showed an activities balance of $6,444.34 of a total budget of $15,200. Campus Comedy Reprint from The Reader's Digest A veritable gold mine of a business venture for college campuses seems to have been uncovered by a student at a Western university. Luckless and loveless coeds who wish to appear popular can rent a fraternity pin from a designated agent. The prices range from $2 to $10 dollars a week, depending upon the standing of the fraternity. One-half the fee goes to the owner of the pin, whose identity is kept secret. The other half is profit for the originator of the scheme. At last report, business was excellent. · Contributed by Dan Bennett * * * Campus Comedy Reprint from The Reader's Digest "I'm a bit nervous about being introduced," said Clarence Faust, vice-president of the Ford Foundation, at a conference at New York University.

" Contributed by Leonard Lyons I I Weather, Snowy Hills Set Scene for Carnival Revised Edition It was a perfect winter setting of snow and ice. The air was just cold enough with an overcast sky. In short the right kind of day for winter sports at the college Winter Carnival. The three hundred students who took advantage of the weather found they had the Inn at Buckhill Falls practically to themselves. Only a few guests with red tags to designate them shared the skating, skiing, and sledding activities with the college group. The lodge was conveniently located with a snack bar filled with food and beverages to warm and refresh any student who took shelter there. Meanwhile back at the Inn, the card and game rooms were filled with Wilkes people seeking less strenuous activity. At 6 p.m., Convention Hall across from the Inn resounded with the music of Jack Melton's combo. Before long many semi-frozen but never-say-die students were dancing everything from the waltz to the tango, with an occasional twist thrown in. During intermission the Warner Trio entertained the crowd with some novel arrangements of folk singing and encouraged the audience to sing along. When departing time came, the students left slowly, exhausted, sore, and happy. Dinner-Dance Planned By Junior Class Date: February 24 The first major event of the Junior class for the spring semester will be the Dinner-Dance which will bEJ held on February 24. President Brent O'Connell announced that the Saturday evening affair will be held at the American Legion Post on North River Street. The Dinner-Dance will be open to all Juniors and their dates and will run from 8 :30 p.m. to midnight. A buffet supper will begin the evening and will be followed by dancing. Tickets are $4 per couple and must be purchased by February 19 to allow for suitable preparations to .be made. O'Connell also announced that committee members have been appointed to handle the various phases of planning necessary for the affair. Further plans for the class this semester are presently in a tenta- · tive state and will be explained more fully as they are formulated. ICG Plans Workshop, Visit to Courthouse The Intercollegiate Conference on Government kicks off its activities for the second semester with a tour of the County Courthouse on Tuesday. This tour will take the place of the regular meeting of the group next week. Members will leave from Pickering Hall at 11 and the ·tour will last until 1 p.m. On February 18, the group will hold a Workshop on campus, at which time members will submit bills for consideration. Each member, either· h1dividually or in cooperation_with another, is to present a bill at this time and members are reminded to begin work on their bills now. At the Workshop, the bills will be discussed and revised for presentation to the Wilkes Mock Assembly which will be held on February 25 in the Commons. The Mock Assembly is a preparation for the Assembly of ICG chapters throughout the state which will be held · on the first weekend in April in Harrisburg. Later in the semester, the ICG has scheduled a program for the college assembly and is presently arranging to obtain a speaker for the date. · 3 Practical Politics Arranged For Students Through Program Knowledge of the practical side of politics can be gained by interested students through a program of political internships being offered by the Pennsylvania Center for Education in Politics. This agency, formerly known as the Citizenship Clearing House, has openings for summer work which provide work in any of the three levels of American government: Federal. state, or local. Understanding Sectional Problems Is Goal of Universities' Program Two state universities have begun a North-South student exchange program as "an initial attack on the problem of provincialism in elementary education." The University of Massachusetts and Florida State University are the first participants in what the founders hope will be a national effort to promote understanding of sectional problems among teacher trainees. Two Florida students are now studying in the School of Education at the University of Massachusetts, and five of the latter's undergraduates are at the southern university. Both institutions have waived outof-state tuition requirements for the exchange students. According to the co-directors of the program, Prof. Vincent Rogers of the University of Massachusetts and Prof. Gifford Hale of Florida State, the program arose out of a conviction that the great majority of undergraduates majoring in elementary education are sorely in need of a personal and professional broadening experience prior to taking on classroom assignments. Dr. Rogers, in a recent interview, pointed out that the exchange is intended to give "considerably more than merely a sense of geographic contrast. Students in the program expect to be confronted with actual educational problems of a kind which, because of sectional differences, they might not find in their home areas." Music Faculty Procures Listening Library Students interested in the workings of the Federal government can obtain internships in the Washington offices of a number of Pennsylvania Congressmen, among them both of Pennsylvania's U.S. Senators. The internships available for state work provide openings in the respective party state committee headquarters in Harrisburg, while work on the county level is provided in the various county headquarters throughout the state. The latter type of internship requires work on the part of the student running through the general election in November, and, for this reason, is closed to students graduating in June of this year. The other types of internships are open to all college students. The internship program is not limited to students majoring in any specific academic field and is open to anyone interested in practical politics. Students selected for the internship program will be assigned to work with the political party of their preference. Pay scales will be graduated with the Washington interns receiving the highest compensation. Any student who cares to apply for the program may do so by seeing Professor Arthur J. Hoover for the necessary application forms. These applications must be returned no later than March 15. faculty hopes that the present facilities can be expanded and that many listening devices will be added for the convenience of the students.

The mat action is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. with the Colonel cagers ending the twin-bill at 8:30 against Moravian. Leading the Marauder grapplers into the meet will be co-captains Stu Meyerson and Walt Koffmeyer. Koffmeyer, their 167-pound ace, has been undefeated in dual meet competition during his four years at Millersville, while Meyerson has only one setback on his record, this coming via an injury in the Waynesburg meet. In their earlier outings the Marauders lost close decisions to powerful Waynesburg and Bloomsburg. Against the Huskies an injury to the Millersville heavyweight spelled defeat in a 17-11 meet. Last Saturday evening at the Wilkes gymnasium, Coach Reese's matmen registered one of the alltime upsets in the annals of small college wrestling, in defeating Lycoming College, 17-12. The Colonels, who were behind by seven points at one stage of the meet, surprised the heavily favored Warrior squad by recording four consecutive decisions and a draw. For Lycoming, it was their first loss in nine meets and it marked the seventh time that the Colonels have bested the Williamsport aggregation. Brooke Yeager opened the meet before a large turnout, many of whom were Lycoming partisans, with an exciting decision over Lee Wolfe. Brooke used a reversal and a neutral in the last period to fashion the 6-4 victory. Ron Kroebel of Lycoming recorded a fall over Dave Puerta in 2 :46. During the action Dave struck his head on the mat, stunning him and causing the pin. In the 133-pound division Bill Kehrig maintained his undefeated record by pinning Ron Henney in 8:10. Ron wrestled well but he could not counter the superior speed of Kehrig, who used a cradle hold to chalk up the fall. The turning point in the meet, according to Coach Reese, was John Gardner 's decision win over Bill Guttermuth, who was previously undefeated and was also a winner in the Carlisle tourney. Gardner, who was not expected to win, turned in an outstanding performance in decisioning Guttermuth, 86. Coach Reese had nothing but praise for John and stated that his win inspired the remaining grapplers to come through with the upset. Bob Ziegler followed Gardner to the mat and shut out Bob Wayne of Lycoming, 7-0. Bob was in charge all the way. He employed several predicaments in posting the win. In the 167-pound class Ted Toluba turned in another convincing victory as he outclassed Art Orassion, 6-1. Ted was in constant command of his opponent throughout the match. Ted's win gave the Colonels a one-point lead at that point in the meet. One of the most exciting bouts of the evening was the 177-pound contest, in which Bob Ainsworth, this issue's "Athlete of the Week," turned in an impressive 11-4 verdict over Dave Forten.

The aggregate capacity of these three Pennsylvania nuclear power plants will be 145,000 kilowatts. In contrast, in all of Russia there is only one nuclear plant devoted to power production, and that has a capacity of only 5,000 kilowatts! SHIPPINGPORT ATOMIC POWER STATION-the world's first large-scale nuclear power station devoted solely to peaceful uses. In addition to producing power by means of the pressurized water reactor, this station has provided extensive invaluable information on uranium oxide fuel element performance, core reactivity changes and associated control factors, and on problems of health physics, radio chemistry and waste disposal. SAXTON NUCLEAR POWER PROJECT-now under construction. This is basically a research project which will explore the most promising concept of the pressurized water reactor for economic production of nuclear power. This facility has been designed and constructed so securely that it is extremely unlikely that storms, floods, earthquakes, fire, or even a missile hit would produce a nuclear accident. The Saxton plant is being built at an estimated cost of $8,520,000 to participating investor-owned electric companies. PEACH BOTTOM ATOMIC POWER STATION-scheduled for completion late in 1963. High Temperature Reactor Development Associates, Inc., including 53 electric power and light companies in the country, have contracted for this nuclear power project at a cost of $26 million. Employing a high temperature, helium gas-cooled, graphite-moderated, solidhomogeneous reactor system, this project represents the first application of a new high performance concept. Its purpose is to serve as an effective prototype for future full-scale plants designed to produce electric power competitive in price with conventional power. Big things are happening throughout Pennsylvania's progressive electric industry; and there are exceptional opportunities for the capable engineering graduate to be a part of this vital movement. - PENNSYLVANIA ELECTRIC ASSOCIATION 20 Independent, Investor-Owned Eledric Companies of Pennsy/vOIW'f �Friday, February 9, 1962 s WllJCES COLLF.GE BEACON '50's Top Cagers Named to Dream Team Volunlary Vole Shows All-Stars /Zeller Leads Bowlers Of Decade Fealure Small Players With 182 Top Average; Cagers Conlend wilh Greyhounds; "Outstanding sportsmanship, teamwork, and. proficient Action Renews Sunday Seek lo Win in Rematch Contesl these me the qualities which led to the selection 1 play . . ." - of the members of the Dream Team. The All-Stm squad, chosen on a voluntary vote by members of the faculty, administration, and friends of the college, includes George Morgan, Len {Ba· G ha C troney) Bartlo, Ed Davis, eorge Gae ' and ml Van Dyke. . These former Wilkes stalwarts 4:xcelled on the hardwoods dunng the 1950-1960 decade and their efforts produced the most outstanding Blue and Gold basketball records. Leading the Dream Team is 6'4" George Morgan. The "big man" was also selected "Outstanding Colonel Cager of the Fifties." (see story page one.) Len Bartlo George Gacha The high-scoring forward on the select squad is Len (Batroney) Bartlo. The former Ashley High School ace holds the Wilkes record for most points in a career by amassing 1,642 points in his four years on the Wilkes team. Basketball wasn't Len's only claim to fame at Wilkes as he led the Colonel diamondmen in batting, a sweet .497, and home runs, three roundtrips, during the 1953 season as a second baseman. Beacon "Athlete of the Year" laurels were captured by Len in 1954 as he graduated from Wilkes. Since then he has been teaching mathematics in Garden City High School, Michigan, where he is head mentor of the basketball and baseball teams. Playing one of the guard posts is Ed Davis, a regular spark plug on the Colonel squads for four seasons. Although he is small for a college p er form er, "5'9" Babs" made up for his height disadvantage with his speed and fiery play. He is one of the few men to ever earn his letter in three major sports for four seasons. Ed graduated in 1954 with an A.B. in mathematics and returned to his alma mater, Plymouth High School, to teach. In 1955 Ed took over the reigns of the Wilkes basketball team and has been head mentor ever since. In 1958 he became head football coach at Plymouth and last season was named head baseball - coach. Ed is married and the proud father of two "little cheerleaders". Joining Davis at the guard positions is George Gacha. The "Gooch" is anothe.T "over the 1000 point" performer for the Blue and Gold and earned berths on the MAC All-Star teams in 1959 and 1960.

The Foul Lines finished in third place, four games behind. The award for most strikes went to Jerry Zeller with 142. Bill Watkins had the most spares in the League with 159. Regina Ritzie won the combination strike and spare championship for the girls. The top ten averages were as follows: 1. Jerry Zeller 182 2. Frank DiGennari 171 3. Bill Watkins 169 4.

Coach Ed Davis' cagers take on the Moravian Greyhounds in the nightcap of tomorrow evening's double-header with the tap-off time scheduled for 8:30. Before the Colonels try to even their season's record with the Greyhounds Dean George Ralston will introduce the members of the Fifties Dream Team and present them with certificates of achievement. In their earlier meeting the Greyhounds waylaid the victory hungry Colonels with a 76-57 win. Jack Zavacky led the Bethlehem men with 20 points while Demko, Kosman, and Wilson also hit in double figures. Bob Fleming led the Wilkes efforts with a 23 point burst while Harvey Rosen and John Moore added 14 counters each. The Colonels have gotten more help in their quest for a win over Moravian with the addition of Dick 'Doc' Voshefski to the team. The former Newport Township AllScholastic is a top ball-handler and will give the Davismen added reserve strength for their outside corps. Harpur Wins Against Harpur College on last Saturday, the Colonels found a quintet of red hot shooters from the outside too much to overcome and dropped a 68-59 decision. It was the unstoppable one-hand push shots from the side and some timely taps by Bob Loomis and Mickey Greenberg that proved too much for the Colonels. Trailing 31-21 at the half, Wilkes did manage to come driving back and make a close contest out of it as Bob Fleming who scored 16 tallies in the second half. John Moore chipped in 10 points in the second half to end up with 13 counters. Fleming led the Colonels in scoring with 18 points while Rosen and Moore each had 13. Tom Pugh turned in another good defensive game by holding the Harpurmen's top scorer, Ira Davis, to a scant seven points. The senior co-captain also tossed in eight points in the losing cause. Greenberg and Loomis led the victors with 21 points each. Ainsworth Earns "Athlete" Honors; Sustains Injury in Lasl Meel Ed Davis Carl Van Dyke George Morgan wrong foot sent George into 20point averages in his junior and senior years. While an offensive threat on the hardwoods, George traded his trade. mark for a defensive label on the soccer and baseball teams. He was the goalie on the soccer squad and an "ace" fireman on the diamond squad . George graduated in 1960 and traveled down the aisle in the same year. He is the father of a bouncing baby girl. George teaches at Toms River High School, New Jersey, where he is head soccer and basketball coach. Rounding out the Dream Team, alphabetically, is Carl Van Dyke. The little high-scoring forward was a consistent threat to opponents with his one-hand push shots from the outside and his accurate passes. He is considered one of the best defensive players to come out of the Wilkes ranks and was often assigned to guard the opposition's top man although he was usually taller than Carl. The former Punxsutawney AllScholastic was selected Beacon "Athlete of the Year" and "Outstanding Athlete of the Year" during his senior year of 1956. Not only a basketball wizard, the lanky performer was also a standout on the soccer field where he led the Colonels to a highly successful 1955 season. Against Hofstra he blasted home three goals in a 3-2 victory to set a Wilkes record. Carl is now teaching business education at Punxsutawney High School. The only "single" member of the Dream Team, Carl plans to make the trip down the middle aisle in the near future. Earning honorable mention on the Dream Team were: Jim Ather- ton, Bob Benson, John Bresnahan, Harry Ennis, Jim Ferris, Clem Gavenas, Charlie Jackson, Fran Mikolanis, Parker Petrilak, Bernie Radecki, Ron Roski, and Joe Sikora. The. Dream Team will be introduced to the fans at the intermission of tomorrow night's twin-bill and presented with certificates of achievement. 'DIGEST' ISSUE (continued from page 2) author Robert O'Brien. He quotes Dr. Wernher von Braun's assertion that American astronauts will be exploring the remotest corners of the solar system within 40 years. By 2002, trips to the moon will be commonplace, he says. Other benefits accruing to mankind by 2002 will include victory over the common cold and virtually all other communicable ailments, and control of most of the diseases which now afflict us. But the article sounds one note of caution. It quotes Nobel Prizewinner Dr. Hermann J.

VA 5-4767 Greeting Carda • Contemporary Cards GREETING CARDS · CONTEMPORARY RECORDS - PARTY GOODS Bob Ainsworth, as a result of his fine performances for Coach John Reese's wrestling squad, earns this week's "Ahtlete of the Week" honors. Bob has contributed a good deal to the success of the team thus far in the season. A Junior majoring in German, Bob has competed in the 177-pound division. He is yet to be defeated this season. In the meet with C. W. Post he drew with his opponent while he racked up victories in the Hofstra, East Stroudsburg, and Lycoming contests. He did not participate in the Ithaca meet due to an injury. His convincing decision in the Lycoming meet was perhaps his most significant as he staked the team to a five point advantage with only one bout remaining. The match was undoubtedly the most thrilling of the evening. His opponent, Dave Forten, was in trouble throughout the match as Bob was unrelenting in his pursuit of the elusive Warrior. He came quite close to pinning Forten on several occasions. The match ended in an 11-4 verdict. During this writing it was learned by this reporter that Bob aggravated a prior injury in the Lycoming contest and will be lost to the team for the remainder of Men's Modem the season. The injury, which includes bone fragments in his left knee, will require surgery as the condition is responsible for related cartilage ditmage. It is apparent that the operation will render him inoperative for the rest of the campaign. The injury could not have occurred at a more inopportune time, as Bob was finally coming into his own as a top-flight collegiate wrestler. He has shown steady improvement in the grappling skills during his tenure at Wilkes under the able tutorship of John Reese. Promoted to a varsity role this year, he has become .a mainstay of the team and has provided reliable strength in the 177 -pound division. His loss, no doubt, will have a marked effect on the team and it will be difficult to find a suitable replacement. A native of Kingston, Bob presently resides in Wilkes-Barre. He is a graduate of Kingston High School where he was an outstanding performer in football, track, and wrestling. As a high school grappler he ran up a string of 26 consecutive victories. He was a member of the 1958 Wyoming Valley Conference Championship team at Kingston. At Dickinson College, in 1959, he participated in football and wrestling.

Loyola Gives Pointers On Aims of Perfect Student Government The following is not a report on how student government actually functions at Loyola College but a report on how it might possibly function. It was written in hope of suggesting a vision or a direction which student government might take. "The stimulation of thought and exchange of ideas, the basic activity of the academic community in its quest for truth, is naturally the first concern of student government. Evaluating courses, p r o po sing changes in curriculum, suggesting the use of particular textbooks a re tasks which call upon all the insight and experience of the student body's elected representatives. They are tasks absolutely necessary lest the vitality of the school community fade and the opportunity for intellectual stimulation not grow, but wither. "Should a school provide a testing program to help superior students to avoid taking unnecessary introductory courses? How do professors' salaries and the number of hours professors teach affect the quality of instruction? How do superior and poorer students fare under a limited-cut system ? On questions such as these the mature student government is informed and ready to speak. "Stimulation of thought and exchange of ideas is hardly limited to the classroom. So the student government worries about lecture series, symposia, and even the state of informal contact and discussion between students and faculty members. The mature student government takes steps to see that the channels of student opinion and thought are kept strong and open, that the newspaper, literary magazine and bulletin boards provide students with the necessary giveand-take of orthodox and unorthodox modes of thought and expression necessary for the dialogue of education. "Closely allied with the more strictly academic concerns of the student government are the problems of student welfare. In the economic sphere tuition expenses and the necessity for a great many students to work part-time or even full-time are examples of real problems which a truly representative student government cannot ignore. The prices of textbooks, for exam- ALLEGHENY COLLEGE PLANS THREE-TERM CALENDAR Allegheny College will inaugurate a new three-term calendar beginning in September, 1962. The new program is not a trimester system involving an eleven month schedule, and according to college spokesmen does not represent an acceleration of the student's work. Total academic work for the year will be the same as at present; normally 30 credit hours per year with a range of 27-33 hours, but, and here's the change, 70-minute periods instead of the present 50. The longer class periods open new possibilities for combining lecture and class discussion, lecture and testing, or discussion and demonstration, according to Dr. Julian L. Ross, dean of instruction and chairman of the special committee that worked out the details. Research Institute on Communist Affairs + ;t PERUGINO'S VILLA + Italian-American Re■taunmt A.

These will test applicants for many new projects scheduled to begin this spring and summer in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. As in the previous tests, the Peace Corps is seeking not only people who may be skilled in a particular trade but also men and women without specialized training. An example of this is the liberal arts graduate who is sought for such things as community development projects. Peace Corps Director R. Sargent Shriver noted in announcing these tests that "no one should automati. cally exclude himself from consideration because he considers himself either too highly skilled or not skilled enough. We will match qualifications to the growing ret we are receiving from abqueSds" roa . Students interested in taking this test can receive information from Mr. Robert Morris in Chase Hall. Science, Aged Rodents Give Next Generation Longer Life Expectancy SPRING SEMESTER LIBRARY HOURS Monday-Thursday: 8 a.m.-9:30 p.m. Friday: 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday: 1 p.m.-4 p.m. Science is working to expand man's Biblical life expectancy from "three score years and ten" to at least five score, or 100 years; and if the trend of new discovery continues, our children may live in a time when 100 years of age is merely a respectable average. These points are made in a January Reader's Digest article by Albert Q. Maisel, titled: "Can Science Prolong Our Useful Years?" Mr. Maisel answers his own question with a decided "yes." Already science is gaining insight into how and why we age. Aging processes can be arrested or forestalled in experiments with rats and other animals. Rats kept on a controlled diet, for example, lived an average ten per cent longer than rats who were allowed to eat whatever, and as much as, they wished. Answers to all our questions about aging are still in the remote future, Maisel admits. But there are methods which we can follow now to increase our own and our children's life expectancy. Among them are the following. Avoid overeating. Life insurance studies show that 20 pounds of excess weight cuts life expectancy by about 1 ½ years; 35 extra pounds can take four years from your life VA 3-6:276 Willces-Jrorre.

EUGENE S. FARLEY, President President's Holiday Message It was a happy thought of the Beacon Staff to issue a special edition for the parents at Christmas time. This special issue is particularly appropriate to the season for it is a time when we relax and allow ourselves to enjoy more fully the warmth of affection within the family and among mends. It is a season when the spirits of all of us are released and are allowed to soar a bit. All of us are better for the partial release of our finer sentiments. Something of Christmas stays with us through the year and we are happier and finer because of this lingering sentiment. As the students of Wilkes turn to their homes for the Christmas season, I hope that this issue of the Beacon will convey to all parents and students, the warmth of sentiment that permeates the larger family of Wilkes College. Mrs. Farley joins with me in wishing that the warm spirit of Christmas may be yours today, and in the months to come. Campus U.N. Group Acquaints Students wilh Other Countries The members of the Wilkes College Chapter of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations have been busily engaged in many programs during the past few weeks. They recently sponsored a visit to our campus by Mr. Saodat Hosan, chief of press and public liaison of the Arab Information Center in N ew York. The purpose of Mr. Hosan's visit was to acquaint the student body with the functions of his organization. In obser vance of UN Week, the me mbers not only set up a display in the libr ary about the United Nat ions; they also arranged for Mr. David P. Haxton to appear at our student assembly program that week. Mr. Haxton, field representative of UNICEF, spoke about the vari- ous facets of UNICEF in trying to provide aid to the millions of needy women and children throughout the world. During that same week, four CCUN members attended a Rotary luncheon where they spoke on the purposes and ideals of the United Nations. Last week, three delegates from the campus chapter attended a twoday conference in New York City. The conference entitled "1961, UN Year of Crisis", featured Prime Minister Nehru of India as the pr incipal speaker. The most recent project completed was the selling of Christmas cards, the proceeds of which have been donated to the UNICEF fund. Included among future plans for this group are : the initiation of a monthly forum, a state convention, The sixteen melodious voices of the Madrigal Singers, well-known vocal group on campus, have been recorded in a selection of favorite Yuletide carols. They are available to the students of Wilkes at the Bookstore in monophonic long play Christmas albums at $3.95 each. Splashed across the front cover of t he album is a colorful scene of the carolers in front of President Farley's home on South River Street. On the back cover are printed words to the carols. Among the selections included in the album are " What Child Is This", and "Go Tell It On The Mountain". The carols are sung a cappella, except for one selection in which the carolers also play instruments. They were chosen by Mr. Richard Chapline, director of the Singers, and are also favorites of the group. The past performance of the Madrigal Singers, according to Mr. Chapline, enables them to expand into the special recording field. ' The talented job they turn in on the tape attests to their skill and practice. The songs were recorded last April by Mr. Clewell of the Public Relations Office.

Amnicola Work Advances Toward May 15 Dateline Work on this year's Amnicola is now well under way and Harry Collier, this year's editor, hopes to have it available to students on or about May 15. There are 192 pages in this year's publication featuring fi ve colored pages and several tinted ones. This year's publication also includes a great deal of individual art work. Undergraduates are reminded to have their photos taken the week after the Christmas recess if they hope to be in this year's Amnicola. and a Model General Assembly. The monthly forum, to be initiated in January, would consist of a question and answer session or a panel discussion about education overseas. Participating in these forums will be exchange students from our campus and other exchange students living in the area.

In addition to an increase in the size of this issue, copies of this newspaper are also being mailed to the parents of each member of the student body. One of the purposes of this extended effort is to acquaint the parents not only with the Beacon, but also with many other aspects of college life. It is appropriate that this issue appear during the . holiday season when many of us will have additional time available to read a little more than usual and to look around us at the occurrences which have taken place at Wilkes in the past several months. We of the Beacon staff are pleased to present and to dedicate this issue to the parents of Wilkes College students, twithout whose help, many of us would not be able to enjoy the benefits of a college education. Lose a Minute and Save a Life Save lives - not time. This slogan which has appeared frequently in the newspapers and various other communications media during the past several years becomes particularly appropriate as the holiday season draws near. All of us are busily planning and preparing for the numerous events which will take place in the next several weeks and it is a time when many of us will be doing a great deal of travelling. It is at this time that we are reminded that accidents occur not only on long distance journeys but also on short drives. Accidents may occur anywhere at anytime. You may be the world's best driver - but what about the other fellow? A note from the Traveler's Insurane Company reminds us that more than 34 % of the drivers involved in fatal accidents in 1960 were under 25 or over 65 years of age. The possibilities of hazardous driving conditions due to seasonal weather presents another problem. Although almost 84 % of the casualties in 1960 occurred in clear weather, the threat of inclement weather always heightens the possibility of accidents if the driver does not take added precautions. Overall accident statistics for 1960 also show that most fatal accidents occurred on weekends. The Christmas and New Year holiday season is a time for joy and merrymaking, but it is also a time when we must seriously consider our responsibility to ourselves and to our fellow Americans. Another Addition The recent announcement of the acquisition by the college of another building in the community has once again instilled a sense of pride and satisfaction in all who are in any way concerned with Wilkes. The building at 264 South Franklin Street, formerly the Miner residence brings the total number of college-owned properties to thirty. Mrs. Charles H. Miner, who made the contribution, and her family have long been listed among the friends of the college. Her husband, the late Dr. Charles Miner, was a prominent physician in Wyoming Valley. Her son, Charles H. Miner, Jr., has been a member of the Board of Trustees for some time and is currently serving it in the capacity of secretary. It is with a deep sense of gratitude and appreciation that we extend our thanks to Mrs. Miner, for remembering the college with this generous gift. Drinking Each campus in a state where the legal drinking age is twenty-one faces the same sort of social problem; what to do about those students under the legal age who see no harm in breaking the law. In some instances the administration expressly forbids illegal drinking by any student and backs this up with a strong policing system. In other colleges the restrictions are either half-hearted or there are no restrictions at all. One of the main factors that makes the drinking situation so difficult is the lack of social ostracism for any student taking an illegal drink. What will we comply with - the law, or social norms? As long as the law is in force, we have a duty as citizens to obey it, and the right to try to change it. On this campus the following policy has been set up, "Alcoholic beverages will not be served at student affairs." This policy has the firm support of both the administration and the Student Government. Many students who are of legal age have voiced complaints because they can not drink alcoholic beverages at certain student affairs held off campus. They are reminded that as long as any one under twenty-one is in attendance at these activities, drinking in their presence is, in the words of Pennsylvania state law, "contributing to the delinquency of a minor". Anyone who does purchase or accept an alcoholic drink under these circumstanes is subject to penalty. Although less than one-fourth of the student body of this college is legally able to drink, many more students wish to and in reality do. What sort of social interaction causes this situation? Is there a social lag between present practices in society and state law? Why do certain areas such as New York State and the District of Columbia have a legal age of eighteen for the purchasing and consuming of alcoholic beverages? We can not begin to present answers to these questions, and we admit to being curious about a seemingly arbitrary setting of legal age. If there is one reason or many reasons for the setting of this legal age, an adequate explanation of them for the benefit of college students might cause more abeyance to the letter of the law. Letters To The Editor: Dear Seniors: Thank you for thinking of the linguistic development of our college. No gift will be more appreciated than the language laboratory equipment you are giving to Wilkes. We will always remember your thoughtfulness, and Wilkes students will be ever grateful to the class of 1962. Vielen Dank, mil gracias, merci infiniment. The Modern Foreign Language Department * * * To the Students and Faculty of Wilkes College: On behalf of the members and coaches of the 1961 Wilkes College football team, we would like to express our appreciation and gratitude to you for your support during the past season. Anyone who says that the spirit at Wilkes is low should have been at the games, both home and away, to see the faithful students and faculty of the college supporting the team to the fullest. It is easy for fans to follow and stand by a winning team, but through a disappointing season, you attended the games in impressive numbers. To us, this is a .show of great loyalty to your school and to your team. A team needs moral support as much as it needs spirit and precision, and you certainly gave us that moral support at all the games. Our thanks again to you all. Sincerely, Rick Rees Tom Krisulevicz Don Eller Co-captains, 1961 Wilkes College football team Senior Education Major Feels Aclivilies Augment Academic Work The tables were turned on this week's subject for the student sketch, Cynthia Hagley, when she became the interviewee instead of the interviewer. Having been a four year member of the Beacon staff, and its news editor for two years, this senior elementary education major has interviewed both faculty and students, and has skillfully written and edited many of the newspaper's articles. "Being a member of the Beacon staff has given me the opportunity to do things I otherwise would not have done," Cynthia began. "When I visited Hampton Institute in Virginia as a member of the exchange weekend program, for example, I was allowed to attend a news conference held by G. Mennen Williams, assistant Secretary of State in charge of African affairs. "When I got there," she continued, "I was overwhelmed with the fast pace and the sharp questioning period that went on. After I got used to the procedure, I posed a question to Mr. Williams myself. To my amazement the reporters there continued my line of questioning." Then there was the time in her sophomore year when, attending the Wilkes-Scranton University football game, Cynthia tried using her press card instead of paying Cynthia Hagley the admission price.

Season's Greetings The Beacon staff would like to take this opportunity to wish you and yours a very merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year. As we near the celebration of this joyous season, let us all recall to mind these words from Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol - "I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round ... as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, ...

All opinions expressed by columnists and special writers including letters to the editor are not necessarily those of this publication but those of the individuals. Cynthia recalled several other interesting incidents as a Beacon reporter: acting as lady-in-waiting to the Homecoming court for two years; covering the Richard Nixon rally on Public Square during the presidential election campaign; and doing a last minute story on the NBC coverage of Wilkes College. Our news editor has also had experience in fields other than journalism. She has been a Sunday school teacher at the Albright Evangelical Brethren Church for three years, is presently a student assistant in the library, has worked in the Public Relations office of the College, and in her first job away from home was a cooking instructor at Pine Forest camp near Lake Wallenpaupack. "One of the most important activities that I feel I have been involved in during my years at the college is the formulation of Associated Women Students on campus. I was honored when the founding committee elected me president pro tempore at the end of last year. "AWS, I believe, can give a substantial contribution to the lives of all Wilkes coeds," Cythia continued. "Never have I been involved in an organization that was so enthusiastically accepted at its start. I can only hope and work toward the goal that A WS will develop to the potential that it displays on other campuses." When this reporter asked Cynthia, who incidentally was associate editor of the Manuscript in her sophomore year, how she managed to participate in such diverse activities while maintaining her scholastic standing, she answered, "I have often wondered if it would have been better for me to concentrate all my energies on getting better grades, but I have found that when I am most involved in extra-curricular activities I get my class work done with more regularity. "I suppose it is because, with more work to do, I budget my time and get down to business." Cynthia, as an elementary education major, said that she is in this field "not only because I love children and teaching, but also because I feel this is a very crucial and ex(continued on : page 3) �wn.n:s Friday, December 15, 1961 COLLEGE BEACON Court of Appeals Presents First Decision . of The Year Popular Bookstore Manager Recalls Many College Experiences "Millie the Mole," "Mother Superior," and "Honorary Letterman" are titles which can be applied to the well-known college bookstore manager, Millie Gittins. Millie will celebrate her eighteenth year at Wilkes College next March 15. She received her title of "Millie the Mole" from Dr. Charles Reif. Dr. Reif told his class to go to the bookstore to "Millie the Mole" to buy their biology filler. They did so and the name has stuck ever since. Board of Trustees Lend Varied Experience To College Leadership A broad variety of interests and backgrounds characterize the officers of the Board of Trustees of Wilkes College. These men, both local and out-of-town residents, represent careers ranging from chairman of the board of a philanthropic institution to a retired Admiral of the United States Navy. Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Admiral Harold R. Stark is a retired United States Naval officer with an impressive past record of service to his country. A resident of Washington, D.C., the Admiral is a former commander of the European fleet during World War II and a former chief of Naval Operations. That his services were valuable is evidenced by the fact that he was kept on duty beyond retirement age at the request of Winston Churchill. Dr. Arnaud C. Marts, vice-chairman of the board, has had experience in the fields of education, business, civic service, and writing. At present, Dr. Marts is chairman of the Board of Marts and Lundy, Inc., one of the oldest and best known fund-raising firms in the nation. Miss Mildred Gittins More bewildering is the nickname, "Mother Superior." It was bestowed upon her by the male chorus when it was under the direction of Bill Peters, '59 and '60. There was a warm relationship that existed between the male chorus and Millie. Housemother to a college distribute copies of the Beacon around campus, and to transport football equipment to the athletic field. Millie says she adores the students at Wilkes and feels that they are wonderful. Millie was informed that at the age of 25 she would no longer be able to walk. However, one can see that it was not true. Millie credits this fact to her job and the students who have kept her going. Her sentiments concerning her job and her feelings for the students can be found in this quote, "If it had not been for this job, I would have sat down and died." When asked how she became an "Honorary Letterman", Millie explained that she had been active w h e n e v e r the Lettermen had dances, especially the Christmas Formal. At this dance, Millie sold tickets and pinned on the rosebuds which the girls received. In 1947, Millie's name appeared on the program of the Formal as "Millie GitThe students of Wilkes certainly tins, Honorary Letterman". She stated that the athletes are wonder- do keep her going.

Although a resident of New York, Dr. Marts has a special interest in Wilkes College. Bucknell University founded Wilkes as a junior college in Wilkes-Barre and Dr. Marts, who served as president of Bucknell from 1935-1945, inherited the problem of formulating permanent plans for this center of learning. Since he devoted so much time and energy to this problem, he became intimately involved in the progress and development of Wilkes. In his capacity as author, Dr. Marts has written Philanthropy's Role in Civilization and Man's Concern for His Fellow Man. A local attorney with a wealth of community interests, Charles H. Miner, Jr., is secretary of the board. Besides serving as Director of the Miner-Hillard Milling Co., Attorney Miner is a Director of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Industrial Fund, Chairman of the Community United Fund, a Vestryman of St. Stephen's Church, and past President of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce. An associate of Attorney Miner in the law firm of James, Harris, McLean, Silverblatt, and Miner, Attorney James P. Harris is treasurer of the board. Attorney Harris has both business and community affiliations, including his posts as a Director of First National Bank of WilkesBarre, Harris Hardware Company, and the Forty Fort State Bank and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Y.W.C.A. Andrew J. Sordoni, former United States Senator, 1926-1938, Secretary of Commerce of Penna., 1951-1954 and a prominent industrialist of Wyoming Valley, serves as vice-chairman of the board. Reflecting his varied business interests, Senator Sordoni is the founder and president of A. J. Sordoni Foundation, Chairman of the Board of the Sordoni Construction Company, President of the American Automobile Association, Trustee of Bucknell University and is also affiliated with the Commonwealth Telephone Company, Sterling Hotel System, Harveys Lake Light Company, and the Sterling Manufacturing Company. Court Decides Solons Erred In Chemistry Club Reimbursement Monday evening's special Student Government meeting saw Jerome Krasa, chairman of the Court of Appeals, hand down the decision of the Court in the case of the Chemistry Club vs. Student Government. The Court, in a unanimous opinion, held that the Student Government "acted outside the scope of its constitutional powers" in making a reimbursement of $47.50 to the Chemistry Club. The Court also found that an additional reimbursement of $125 asked for by the Chemistry Club would be outside the provisions of the Student Government Constitution. Krasa, in explaining the Court's decision, recalled that the case arose out of a Friday night dance date deficit of $47.50. The Chemistry Club alleges that the loss was sustained because of the interference of an unauthorized, offcampus activity, which they cont end, was held on the same Friday evening as the one granted them by the Student Government. Claiming that the Student Government is the authorized agent of the student body, the Chemistry Club petitioned the solons not only to accept the responsibility for the loss sustained, but also to reimburse them for the expected profit from the dance. The Student Government, after considering the Chemistry Club's petition, decided to reimburse the · club for the loss it sustained in the dance failure, but, at the same time, refused to reimburse the club for its expected profit. Jerome Krasa The Chemistry Club, not satis________________.,._fied with what it claimed was a shirking of full responsibility on the part of the Student Government, took the case to the Court of Appeals.

College Adds Logic Course To All Degree Programs Major change in this year's curriculum at Loras College is the addition of logic as a requirement for both B.A. and B.S. degrees. Ethics, which was formerly required of all juniors, will now be required of ecclesiastical students only. Logic will no longer apply to the 24 hours required for a major in philosophy, and both logic and general ethics will be offefed each semester, effective with this year's junior class. �WlLIES OOLI.BlE BEACON KAMPUS KAMERA Christmas at Home and Abroad The holiday season, which is now upon us, has various meanings to nearly every American. It is a religious observance as well as a period of merry-making and secular festivities. It is a time of the year which is steeped in tradition, rich in sentiment, and mingled with feelings of reverance and materialism. We as Americans have observed our holidays year after year, taking them for granted, until many of us can no longer evaluate the significance of their observance. Therefore, The Beacon has asked four of the college's students, who come from lands across both oceans, to evaluate, to compare, or to contrast the American Christmas and New Year's season with similar holidays in their own countries. Pericles Spyropolous, a native of Platy, Calarnata, Greece, is a member of the Greek Orthodox Church. Perry, as he is known on campus, is a 23-year-old senior psychology major who has spent five holiday seasons in the United States. He observed that in America these holidays have more commercial significance than in Greece. According to Perry, the Greeks celebrate Christmas as the birth of Christ and there is more emphasis placed on the religious aspects of the holiday. Perry attributes this to the fact that in America there are so many religious sects and thus a more liberal outlook than in Greece where seven out of eight million people adhere to the Greek Orthodox faith and the Church has a greater influence. Perry also remarked that "Christmas trees are not too common but that nearly every home displays religious pictures and a decorated oil lamp chandelier. Hornes are not bedecked along the streets. "We do have parties and social affairs but not to as great an extent as you," he suggested. "Gift giving does occur, but, again, it is on a smaller scale and Saint Basil, the Greek counterpart of Santa Claus, comes on New Year's Eve to bring gifts to good children and to bless the family and the home for the forthcoming year." Sonjo Shoyinka, whose home is in Abeokuta, Nigeria, is 28 years old and is a junior economics major. Sonjo has been in the United States for four years, two of which he has spent at Wilkes. Raised as a Christian (Baptist) in a country that has a population divided into three religious groups - 40 per cent Christian, 50 per cent Moslem, and 10 per cent classified as others - Sonjo has observed that there is much similarity between the way his country celebrates and the way we do. He pointed out that both have been influenced by British traditions. "In Nigeria, Christmas and New Year's have become more or less national holidays which are celebrated by the Moslerns and pagans who participate in the socializing even though they do not accept the religious significance." "Christmas Day is usually observed (by the Christians) by going to church and praying, by staying at home for a dinner of fowl, or by going to the beach and relaxing in the warm tropical sun." According to Sonjo, Christmas songs are sung by groups and played over the radio stations in both English and the native languages, and Father Christmas may make an appearance with gifts for the children. Jnghae Kirn, of PoHang, Korea, is a sophomore who is enrolled in the Commerce and Finance curriculum and is majoring in Business Administration. "Kim", as he is known by his fellow students, came to Wilkes nearly two years ago after serving for a number of years as an officer in the army of the Republic of Korea. He is a member of the Presbyterian Church. "I have spent only one Christmas in this country and I cannot tell whether or not the people have the real Christmas spirit that they should have," Kirn remarked. "With all the luxurious Christmas a ctivities it seems more like a national holiday to all people rather than a church festival for people who believe in Christ and wish to observe his birthday." Kirn continued by saying that "In Korea only the Christian population celebrate the holiday and there is no particular way to celebrate. It depends on how the person feels in his heart." Although there are no elaborate decorations in the stores or homes, some may use a small pine tree or a wreath to add to the festivities. Santa Claus Halapuji, as he is called by Korean children, is expected to make an appearance on Christmas Day. Halapuji means grandfather in the Korean language and he is affectionately referred to by all three names, obviously becuse of his elderly appearance. Eliud Wechira Kabungo, a citizen of Nyeri, Kenya, is a 27-year-old Business Administration major. He has been in the United States for 14 months and is now a sophomore at the college. Eliud has been schooled as both a Catholic and Protestant and refers to himself as a non-denominational Christian. Eliud said that he was amazed by all the fabulous decorations, lights, and trees which are only found in the very large cities of Kenya, such as Nairobi. Flowers are plentiful and they are used extensively in the streets and homes. He also observed that the preparation for the holiday season begins very early in the United States as compared to the ten days of preparation in his country. During these ten days the decorations are put up and the singing of carols is common. "In a country which has only a 40 per cent Christian population (the remaining 60 per cent of the population adhere to the Moslem or other local religions) nearly everyone knows what the holiday is and participates in the celebration of it. The government has even proclaimed "Siku Kuu" (meaning "great day" in Swahili) as a national holiday. It is a day of rest and enjoyment which is eagerly anticipated by the whole country. The customs have caught on quite fast for everyone, but the Christians do regard it as a holy day and they do have services. We have adopted many of the western ways from the British." Eliud concluded with a comment that because Kenya is located in the southern hemisphere the holiday season comes during the summer and naturally there is no such thing as a "White Christmas". Friday, December 15, 1961 "College Challenge", Sunday TV Program, Brings College Aims and Views lo Community One of the many ways the college keeps in contact with the community is through its bi-monthly Sunday afternoon program on Channel 16. The program, in its second successful year, is televised from 1-1:30 p.m. Two basic aims of the program are to inform area residents of the role of the college in the community and to encourage students to make their education a living experience. Through television which reaches a wider audience than other media, the program emphasizes the role education, a basic thread of the fabric of society, plays in the development of a free culture. In addition, the program focuses attention on the importance of the freedom of inquiry. This program, which is not restricted in either ideas or subject matter, gives parents and other members of the community the opportunity to critically examine the college, its goals, and the role of its students. In addition, students and faculty members are able to analyze and discuss contemporary and pertinent ideas of a varied nature. In the past, programs have featured Mayor Frank Slattery of WilkesBarre, the Industrial Fund Committee, and high school teachers. Mr. Alfred Groh, the program's moderator, after consultation with Dr. Farley, members of the faculty, and student leaders, determines the nature of the programs. The students who appear on the programs are selected because of their interest in the topic under discussion. The varied program formats develop from student interests, faculty suggestions, and campus activities. Program time is donated by Station WNEP-TV as a public service in compliance with requirements of the Federal Communications Commission. The Wilkes program alternates with a similar program presented by the University of Scranton. AWS Recognized by Student Government; Fashion Show Planned Mr. Alfred Groh Last year, Groh prepared the entire series before the first program was presented; this year, however, he prepares only two or three programs in advance. Each program is the result of from two or three weeks preparation. This year the format of the show is more flexible and gives the college personnel a greater opportunity to appear on the program. For instance, this week Mr. Groh and Dr. Stanko Vujica will discuss Dr. Vujica's recent experiences in Asia. This program will emphasize the need for the development of an awareness of the thoughts and customs of emerging groups in Asia. This subject, as the other topics presented, is of general knowledge; yet it is directed toward an audience with a knowledge of the subject. The conversation of each program is spontaneous, but Mr. Groh does familiarize himself with the subject and meets the other participants before broadcast time to determine the scope of the program. This is in keeping with the spirit of the programs which is to be both educational and entertaining. Mr. Groh's introduction and closing is written and timed, but the rest of the program is unrehearsed. None of the participants know what questions will be asked on the •program, although similar questions have been raised in the pre-program meetings. The program attracts a wide audience which has indicated that the program is valuable and deepens their appreciation of the college's goals. In addition to Groh's bi-monthly program, 'Pop' Clewell of the Public Relations Office conducts the local five minute segment of the 'Today' show called the 'Wilkes College Capsule'. This is the first year Clewell has conducted the program for the college. As the Sunday program, Clewell's 'Capsule' program, seen every Tuesday morning at 8 :25 a.m., not only keeps the community informed of college activities, but is also a public service feature for other organizations who want to spread information through the community. The program often introduces members of various student organizations and highlights college special events. The 'Capsule' program is flexible and the format varies from general topics of interest to conversations with students and other figures of interest. Clewell plans and carries out the program, which features the role of the college in community growth. The content of the program, of course, depends upon current happenings at the college and iR the community before the show is televised, because of the shortness of the program, Clewell discusses the topic with the guests who will appear. Channel 28 donates time to the college as a public service and cooperates in carrying out the program. Labor-Management-Citizens Group Has Reduced Area Labor Friction To compile a list of the men and women of the college, members of administration and faculty, who are active community, state, and national leaders would be a seemingly endless task; similarly lengthy would be an enumeration of the area organizations these men and women have initiated and directed. Typical of these community organizations and their leaders is the Labor-Management-Citizens Committee and its executive director, Dr. Samuel A. Rosenberg, chairman of the Commerce and Finance Department at Wilkes. Although Associated W o m en Students is a fairly young organization, it has already made plans to do many worthwhile projects on the campus. A WS, of which all women students are members, has already sponsored a breakfast honoring Dr. Farley on the anniversary of his twenty-fifth year at Wilkes, and it has a full calendar of events Dr. Rosenberg, a Wilkes profesplanned for the future. sor since 1948, was one of the Recently, the Constitution of founders of the Committee whose A WS was voted on and passed by aim is first and foremost to rnediStudent Government, and A WS is ate disputes arising out of area now recognized as an on campus industrial relations. organization.

In the first year of its existence the Committee successfully rnediated six industrial disputes, and, last year, of 17 local labor disputes, the Committee successfully mediated 12 and, through its advice and counsel, assisted in resolving another. The members of the Committee, in assisting both management and national unions representing teamsters, carpenters, textile and garment workers, steel workers, and food employees, have had to be as completely impartial as is possible. That they have been successful in this area is evidenced by a recent case in which both parties felt that the Commit.tee's mediators were on their side! As the guiding force behind this impartiality, Dr. Rosenberg's success as a director and mediator can be seen in the letters of appreciation he has received from both labor and management representatives. In one letter, a management representative praised Dr. Rosenberg's " ... magnificent, competent, constructive assistance,'' and, still speaking of Dr. Rosenberg, went on to say that " ... it is a credit to the community . . . and the Com(continued on page 5) �Friday, ·December -15, 1961 s WILIES COLLF.GE BEACON Shulla Sisters Describe Life, Future As Identical Twins Four Classes Make Arrangements simple yet elo- For Next Semester's Activities "It's never 'I', it's always 'we'!" With this quent statement Loretta and Lorraine Shutta describe the sometimes joyful, sometimes frustrating life of being identical twins. Biologists tell us that whereas fraternal twins are no more similar than ordinary brothers and sisters, there is an irrevocable bond between identical twins, who have sprung up from the same "seed of life." This theory has, until recently, held true for Lorraine and Loretta. Lorraine and Loretta Shutta Both girls, enrolled in commercial curriculum at Newport Township High School and the business education curriculum at Wilkes, have the same taste in clothing - on occasion they have bought the same dress independent of each other, and admire the same men - a fact which they have always resolved peacefully. These coinciding interests, along with their common heritage, has brought them a warm, close relationship, not shared by the other three children of the Shutta household. As Loretta expresses it, "Often, upon revealing one of my thoughts to Lorraine, I discover that she has been thinking the same thing at the same time." ·Both agree that this aspect of having someone really understand how you feel is one of the joys of being a twin. There is such a striking resemblance between the girls that casual acquaintances find it difficult to tell them ·apart. They are often mistaken for each other. . Being identical is very handy at times, since they can stand-in for -each other at interviews and appointments, although as . Lorraine says "sometimes you have to ad lib furiously." But along with these comforting and amusing aspects of "twinship" comes a sometimes disturbing one. In the words of Loretta - " I strive vainly to establish my own individuality. I am a unique person with my own personality, desires, and goals and yet I find that most people consider Lorraine and I as one and the same. This is sometimes very frustrating." In their quest for individuality, the two girls have recently taken different paths. Lorraine has graciously given the Beacon a scoop with this first official announcement of her recent engagement to A. Francis Riofski, a Miners Mills native. Tentative plans for a summer wedding dominate Lorraine's life at the present time, although she intends to teach locally. Any free time she might have is usually spent with Frank with whom she enjoys movies, dances, picnics, excursions, and experimenting with new types of food. Loretta, on the other hand, who has worked with the law firm of James Hiscox and William A. Degillio for the past four years while attending Wilkes, has developed an avid interest in the field of criminal law. In her capacity as secretary to the above men, she has come into contact with the workings, the people, the . "challenge in presenting your case", and the "feeling of Can you tell them apart? elation upon success" of the legal profession. Her success in coping with the problems of the legal profession led to her recent appointment as a standing commissioner by Judge Frank L. Pinola. This will entail administering oaths and taking depositions in trials, causes, cases, motions, rules, petitions, and other matters that may be brought before the caurt and will involve Loretta even more deeply in the profession that she so enjoys. She rejects the idea that there is anything unsavory about the idea of criminal law and holds the firm belief of our courts that a man is innocent until proven guilty. When queried about the problem of a woman in what is predominantly a male profession, Loretta jokingly replied that the biggest problem she anticipated encountering was wielding large record books when doing title searches. But she does recognize the inherent danger of losing her femininity while searching for success in the legal profession. This ever-present problem she feels can be overcome with a little effort and thought. Although as you can see, Lorraine and Loretta have, of late, swerved from the path of similarity, they join once again on their high opinion of the Business Education Department of Wilkes College and contend that they have profited enormously from their relationships here. Senior Class The seniors have decided to donate equipment to the school for a portable language laboratory. The vote was taken after a lengthy discussion at the recent class meeting. Besides the laboratory equipment, there were two other main choices for the class to choose from. One was the suggestion to buy several portable microfilm projectors for the library. Another was to install a cauliphone in the library and a starter record collection. Other suggestions included: typewriters for the typing room of the library, a sixteen millimeter projector for Parrish Hall, two water fountains for the second and third floors of the library, and the down payment on a parking ramp. Bud Menaker presented the Student Government report. He explained the new policy of obtaining activities forms for any social event involving Wilkes students, whether it is closed or opened, on campus or off campus. Menaker polled the class to find out how many seniors would support a dry Winter Carnival and it was estimated that about onefourth signified support. He then discussed the possibility of extending library hours, and, by a show of hands, the class demonstrated their majority approval. Junior Class Brent O'Connell, junior class president, received word yesterday that due to scheduling difficulties, the Brothers Four will be unable to fulfill their concert date on March 31. The concert committee will meet soon to act on this latest development, and will keep class members informed on committee progress. Plans for the annual class dinnerdance were also discussed. Febru- Emmel, Kocher Take Test To Improve License Status Last week Richard Emmel and Dave Kocher, members of the Radio Club at Wilkes, took the Technician Class exam of the Federal Communications Commission. The boys are awaiting the results of the test. If Emmel and Kocher pass the exam, they will receive a license which will enable them to broadcast by using higher frequencies. Novice exams are being given today for the unlicensed members of the Radio Club in the Radio room in Pickering Hall. Most members of the club will become licensed amateurs. ary 26 has been selected as the tentative date subject to approval by the Student Government cal endar committee. A future class meeting will provide more information on this affair. Paul Emmert reported that class rings would probably be received on Wednesday, December 13, and could be obtained from him during the rest of the week. After Friday, December 15, however, those who have not received their rings will have to get them from the Balfour Co. located on the sixth floor of the Miners National Bank Building in room 626. Sophomore Class Two upcoming activities of the sophomore class were discussed at a recent meeting. President James Jones announced that the Donkey Basketball Game is scheduled for March 15 but that no definite plans have yet been formulated for the game. Following this, the members of the class in attendance voted to hold a dinner-dance possibly at the end of April. Class officials are now in the process of selecting a suitable location for the affair. Following the example of the senior class the sophomores also made some long-range plans to conduct an assembly program next year. Freshman Class Recently the Wilkes College campus was ablaze with colorful and amusing posters as sixty or more nominees campaigned vigorously for offices in the Freshman class. Voting day arrived, and the candidates waited anxiously for the results to be posted on the bulletin board. Emerging victorious was Cathy DeAngelis, who fought a gallant battle for the office of president. She is the first girl to be elected president of her class at Wilkes. Th Oth e • er officers are: Bobby Segler, vice-president; Joan Davis, secretary; a nd Robert Dew, treasurer. Capturing the sought for seats on Student Government Gloria Lewis Je B •d a~e: Mostello.

The class donations amounted to $157. At a recent class meetin.,. the Constitution of the Class of 1965 was unanimously approved by the Freshman class. Also discussed was the selecting- of Class Historian, Pa_rliamentarian, and Executive Council. The president of the class announced that a paper would be placed on the bulletin board near the Commons, and anyone interested in serving on the Executive Council should sign there. From this list the council would be selected. A report was given on the Winter Carnival to be held on February 1. Also discussed were how many students would be interested in going and how many would be in favor of the Student Government hiring a bus for the Carni val? It was found that many of those planning to attend would prefer to have transportation furnished; rather than depending on private cars. Mike Mostello, Student Government Representative, also asked for suggestions as to where the Carnival could be held. I Playing for Pleasure Brings Gain To Three Men from Warner Hall Community¥ College Celebrate Dr. Farley's 25th Anniversary Recently Dr. Eugene S. Farley, President of Wilkes College, was honored by both the community and the student body on the anniversary of his twenty-fifth year of serving Wilkes. At nine o'clock in the morning of the day of the celebration, Dr. Farley was entertained at a breakfast in the Adams Room of the Hotel Sterling. This affair was sponsored by the Associated Women Students of Wilkes. Later that morning, the Wilkes College Band entertained Dr. Farley and his wife in front of their home with a medley of songs. At this time, Dr. Farley was presented with a scroll containing the names of students at Wilkes. Ed Rogalski presented this scroll to Dr. Farley on behalf of the student body. Highlighting the memorable day was a testimonial dinner for Dr. Farley at the Wilkes College Gym. The band played outside the gym to entertain members of the community attending this affair. Jesse Choper, a former graduate of Wilkes, was toastmaster of this aff air, and he presented Dr. Farley with a new Pontiac on behalf of the community for a job well-done. Choper is presently an assistant professor of law at the University of Minnesota and last year served as law clerk to Chief Justice Earl The Warner Trio - Bob King, George Evancho, and Ron Borek Three men from Warner Hall '. boys are interested in - folk mustarted "pickin' around together" sic. on their guitars last February.

Amid this festive setting John Sheehan, disguised as Santa Claus, distributed favors to each of the guests. The favors had been made by . Pat Ropetski and her committee. The Faculty Women of Wilkes were · present to help in the pouring of · tea. They were assisted in serving refreshments by Rowena Simms, Jean Mattern and other members of the refreshment committee. Entertainment included the singing of Christmas Carols by the Collegians and several piano selectfons by Mrs. Farley. . According to Jane Woolbert, general chairman of the affair, due to the efforts put forth by the members . of TDR and the Lettermen who provided the transportation, the party was enjoyed by all. Theta Delta Rho also held its annual Christmas buffet Wednesday ·e vening in the Commons for its members and invited guests. The Lettermen's Christmas Formal - A prelude to the holidays A Man's Christmas at Bennett Hall Lettermen's Formal The Lettermen added to the holiday gaiety by sponsoring the annual Christmas Formal last Friday evening in the gymnasium. In the make-believe atmosphere of a candy-cane heaven, couples whirled until midnight. They were received by members of the administration, faculty, and chairmen of the affair who are shown in the picture. Assembly Program Yesterday's assembly program featured selections by the college Chorus and the Madriagl Singers directed by Mr. Richard Chapline. They were accompanied by the Brass Ensemble under the direction of Mr. Larry Weed. The finale, with excerpts from "The Gloria" of the Puccini Mass, concluded a program of readings of the prophecies of the Old Testament interspersed with carols and selected Christmas music. A specially recorded album entitled "Christmas at Wilkes College" was released recently for sale on campus. The Madrigal Singers taped their favorite program of Christmas music last April. The album cover is a four-color scene of the Madrigals participating- in a carol sing. Students Carol Speaking of caroling, last evening students gathered to serenade dormitory residents, guests at the convalescent home of South Franklin Street, and Dr. and Mrs. Farley. After this caroling session, the students joined their fellow celebrants of the holiday season at the InterDormitory Council Christmas party in the Commons. They danced to the music of the Eddie Shore Quintet and were treated to free .refreshments. Spanish Club Plans Program THE DOZER • • • A little com is a good thing once In a while.

The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety warns that drowsiness and highway hypnosis are common problems to freeway drivers. As a safeguard, stop every 100 miles or so for a coffee break and a stretch. One of the new clubs on campus is the Spanish Club, which holds its meetings on Tuesday evening at 6 p.m. in Chapman Hall. The faculty advisor is Mr. Jose Ribas who is a native of Spain. With the aid of a Fulbright Scholarship, Mr. Ribas has been living and teaching in the United States for approximately two years. At the past meetings the members have had informal discussions in Spanish, about such things as hazing and Homecoming at Wilkes. Also, Mr. Ribas has led some discussions about the customs and politics of his native land. To plan a program for each meeting, a committee of five people has been appointed. A sweet entrance to holiday happiness - McClintock Hall Christmas at Weckesser Hall Jaycee Party The college chapter of the Junior Chamber of Commerce has .invited Santa to a party for the · underprivileged children of the area tonight.

Advice Given on Final Touches for Mistletoe Season �Friday, December 15, 1961 WILXES COLLEGE BEACON 7 Wilkes Open Provides Holiday Feature Outstanding Wrestlers Headline 'Rose Bowl', Past Champions Enter One of the country's feature wrestling attractions, the Wilkes College Open Wrestling Tournament, will take place for the 30th time on December 28 and 29 at the Wilkes College Gymnasium. A record turnout of 350 wrestlers is expected. An indication of the tournament's popularity is the fact that the 350 wrestlers hail from 65 universities, colleges, and athletic clubs and 24 different states. Such countries as Canada, Japan, Iran and Hungary are also represented. The nation's largest wrestling tournament will attract some of the most famous names in current amateur wrestling. Gray Simons, the 1962 NCAA 123 pound champion and outstanding wrestler, returns to this year's tourney as does the Pan American 147 pound champion, Frank Bettucci; the Middle Atlantic champ of the past three years at 177, Mike Pacilio; and the outstanding wrestler of last year's open, Carmen Malino. Other returning winners of last year's Wilkes tournament are Charles Bush at 115 and Ron Dellapina at 147. The Bruce Blackman Memorial honoring the late sports editor of Times-Leader Evening News who actively supported the open tournament and who was an avid wrestling fan will again be awarded to the outstanding wrestler. Four wrestling sessions will be divided over the two-day period including preliminaries, consolations and finals. A wrestling clinic was held for over 300 high school wrestlers by some of the nation's foremost wrestling coaches and a banquet are additional features of the tournament. HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING CLINC - Above are some scenes from last year's Wrestling Clinic for high school wrestlers. This event takes place each year in conjunction with the Wilkes Open Tournament. Ray Sparks, Director of Athletics at Springfield College in Massachusetts, is chairman of the event. He has announced that more than 300 high school matmen will attend, as invitations have been extended to schools throughout Pennsylvania. History of Wilkes Open Tourney Traces to Central YMCA Matches Wilkes College becomes the "center of the wrestling world" on December 28 and 29 as more than 350 of the nation's outstanding matmen vie for the ten individual championships of the Wilkes Open. Sixtyfive of the East's top teams will attempt to annex the coveted team trophy. Pitt, Michigan, and New York Athleic Club have saged a fierce battle for the title in the past five years with Pitt winning the honors in las year's Open. Two of the outstanding features of the tourney are the caliber and number of the competitors. The Wilkes Open is the largest wrestling tournament in the United States. Last year the competition drew 321 wrestlers from 65 colleges while the NCAA and NAIA "outstanding wrestler", Doug Blubaugh, 1960 Olympic champion and "outstanding wrestler", and 1959 NCAA "outstanding wrestler" Dave Auble typify the caliber of wrestlers found in the Open each year.

Much of the success of the Wilkes Open is due to the great job Dean George Ralston has done as general chairman of the tourney the past twelve years. Aiding Ralston on the general committee are John Chwalek, Arthur Hoover, John Reese, Cromwell Thomas, Bob Morris, John Whitby, Bill Jervis, Francis Pinkowski and Dr. Hugo Mailey....

Each year the tqurnament has grown until it has reached its present status as the "Rose Bowl of Wrestling", the finest wrestling tourney in the United States. The college and post-college wrestlers use the tourney as a training ground for the Olympics. Furthermore, it is used as a training ground for some of the nation's top wrestling officials who contribute their services as do the officials and timers. Acceptance throughout the country of this event is evidenced by the statements of noted wrestling authorities, such as Robert Pickett, President of the American Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association, who believes "The annual WINTER SPORTS SCHEDULE Wilkes Tournament is one of the finest of wrestling tournaments of Basketball Dec .. 14 Susquehanna Away the season."

Doubleheader �WIL1CFS COLLEGE BEACON 8 Friday, December 15, 1961 Colonel Cagers Drop Two Games Ithaca, Scranton Top Colonels In the Week's Basketball Games The Colonel cagers took it on the chin twice last week as they faltered from a lack of height and dropped games to Ithaca and Scranton. The squad had to play without Dick Morgan in both contests and showed the lack of an experienced bench as the team was worn down by their taller opponents and then had a fresh squad of "road-runners" put in against them. A combination of Harvey Rosen and John Moore kept the Colonels in the game against the Bombers. Rosen continued his scoring with a 22 point outburst while Moore came to life against opponents who towered over him by five inches and dropped in 21 counters. Moore carried the club in the first half with 16 points while Rosen took up the slack in the second half with 16 counters. Bob Fleming continued to impress Colonel partisans with his topnotch work on offense. Against Ithaca he dunked five straight baskets. to keep his team in contention. Joe McAndrew and Tom Pugh carried the brunt of Wilkes' defensive load with their rebounding and ball-hawking tactics. Dave Lieb looked like a real comer with his ball-handling and sharp jump-shot in his brief entrance in the game. The University of S c ran ton Royals ruined the Wilkes College basketball debut by fashioning a 91-82 victory over the Colonels. This was the fourth consecutive loss for the Wilkesmen but the last three were heartbreakers as the Colonels had to overcome · a definite height disadvantage in all the games. The story was the same in this game as the Wilkesmen were shorter than the Royals by more than five inches per man. This disadvantage had to be overcome with hustle and good play. The Colonels fell behind in the opening minutes as Tom Foley hit on three baskets for a 10-4 margin. The height advantage played an important bit in this period as the Royals got three and four shots on each basket while the Colonels were forced to hit on their first shot. Midway in the initial quarter the Colonels cut the margin to five points before Bud Cooper led a Royal spurt with two buckets. Halftime score found the Royals Rosen scores against Royals leading, 44-36.

Pre-season favorites Butler Hall and Gore Hall captured opening rounds in the dorm league. The Faculty Five opened their campaign with a cliff-hanging win over the Jets, while the Playboys and Shawneeites knotted their opening victories. Butler Hall ran roughshod over Warner Hall, 64-30. Ted TravisBey and Joe KrKuczek led the Butlermen with 19 and 16 point outbursts. Ron Musselman and Erwin Guetig controlled the backboards at the taller "Hoovermen" won with ease. Borick led Warner with 19 points while Roger Rolfe added eight. A smooth-moving Gore team made good use of their experience in dumping Barre, 63-30. Larry Gubanich led the Goremen with 12 points while Al Gubanich and Paul Aquilino added 11 each. John Adams played the rebounding role for the victors as coach Dick Morgan emptied his bench early in the game.

Barry Bryant and George Tensa combined for 16 points while producing the rebounding power for the victors. Phil Zackery led the Heads with 13 points as Foy added 12 to their cause. The Faculty Five had their hands full with the Jets before putting on a late spurt to mold a 31-26 win. Jim Ferris was the outstanding player on the floor as he put 10 goals and a foul through the hoop for a 21 point evening. Mike Dydo scored seven points in the winning cause. "Jazz John" Lore threw in five goals to lead the Jets while Ron Grohowski scored six points. Top defensive play by Marv Antinnes and Len Kibildis highlighted the play.

The two veterans are Brooke Yeager and Ted Toluba. Yeager was outstanding wrestler in last year's MAC tourney while winning the 123 pound title. Toluba was 167-pound champion two years ago and took third in the tourney last year in the 167-pound class. One spot giving Coach Reese trouble is the heavyweight division. So far, the berth is wide open and anyone who can handle the chore will be received with open arms, or should we say grappling hooks? The 130-pound entry will be Dave Puerta, a scrappy sophomore who got into varsity action last year before Dick Stauffer returned to the mat wars. Ron Henney, former Meyers grappler, will carry the Colonel hopes in the 137-pound class. Freshman Bob Ziegler will be in the 167-pound slot and Coach Reese hopes the former Allentown matman can take up where Marty Strayer left off. Bob Ainsworth will carry the 177-pound hopes if he recovers from his multiple injuries in time. While Wilkes will rely on newcomers to carry their cause, the C. W. Post matmen will be full of veterans. This will be the fourth meet for the Pioneers while the Colonels will go to the mats for the first time this season. Leading the Pioneers will be Metropolitan Champions Mike Spetko and Gene Niedzielski. Both are juniors and seem to give Post the strongest heavyweights in the East. The lightweights are not definite as they have depth two deep in each weight class. The Pioneers have been battling for top rating in the East and a win over the Colonels would put them on top.

In view of the team's performances in the initial contests of the season, the above assertion becomes an absurd understatement. A number of factors enter into this basketball degeneracy. Already suffering from a lack of height and bench strength, the team has now suffered the loss of guard Dick Morgan through injury. Last Thursday in a practice scrimmage, Dick sustained a reinjury of a soccer wound. His left kneecap snapped out of joint and caused the rupture of fluid cavities in the knee. This condition is aggravated by calcium deposits in the same joint. Dick will be lost to the team for an indefinite period of time and as of this writing he has not yet received all of the medical reports. Dick's failure to appear in uniform has already had a marked effect on the team's play. Morgan was team floor leader and the best playmaker on the roster. He performed exceptionally well in the Albright game as he held Little All-American Tom Pearsal to 13 points and scored 12 tallies himself. His fiery play and determined spirit tends to inspire the Colonel five. His presence on the court has driven the team to performances beyond those which may be expected from players of their physical potentialities. 'All-American' Honors Accorded Jim Brunza, Senior Colonel Guard National recognition has been accorded Wilkes College in the selection of James Brunza to the second team of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Little All-American football squad. The players nominated to this all-star aggregation are selected from the 325 NAIA-affiliated small colleges throughout the nation. Jim was named as a tackle on the offensive second team, as both offensive and defensive units are chosen. The fact that member schools are authorized to use free substitution has brought about the selection of separate offensive and defensive units. The players are nominated by NAIA coaches and cross-checked with the selections of coaches of teams opposing the particular player during the season. The week to week performances of Jim may not be termed spectacular, but he played steady, aggressive football, while not attracting the attention of the fans. A right tackle, the 5'11", 200 pound Kingston High School graduate however has received much attention from the sports writers who follow the small college contests. As a result of this he was named to the ECAC Team of the Week on several occasions. 9 Experls Predicl Bowl Oulcomes, Choose Georgia Tech Over Lions This week the Sports Staff departs from its usual conservative position and ventures to predict its outcome of the major college bowl games. For this astounding feat of mysticism and wizardry we selected a board of experts in the field of college football from among the faculty and student body. These people collaborated with us in arriving at our predictions. The participating prognosticators were Steve Phillips, eminent football scholar and historian; . Barry Bryant, outstanding Plymouth dart shooter; Tom Pugh, a member of the champion intramural jaialai team; Arthur Hoover, sports publicity director and fan; Fran Mikolanis, bartender; Barbara Lore, girl; and Mary Fran Barone, another girl. The Beacon Sports Department, composed of George Tensa, Dale Jones, and Jim Jackiewicz, rounds out the lfst of experts. It is quite evident that, by virtue of their apparent qualifications, this group is splendidly equipped to forecast the outcome of the bowl games. · The first contest we considered is to.m orrow's Bluebonnet Bowl, which pits the Owls of Rice Institute against the Jayhawks of l(ansas University. This match figures to be a wide-open affair as both teams are capable of generating powerful offensive threats. However the running of Kansas speedsters John Hadl and Bert Coan should prove to be too much for the Owl defense. We pick Kansas to beat Rice, 26-i0. Another major game to be played tomorrow finds the Orangemen of Syracuse University host to the University of Miami Hurricanes in the Liberty Bowl at Philadelphia. After considering the capabilities of both elevens, we come up with Syracuse topping the Hurricanes in the cold of Philadelphia. The quarterback-end combination of Mira and Miller will not be enough to overcome the spectacular running of Heisman trophy winner Ernie Davis. Syracuse will crush Miami, 20-7. In the Gator Bowl game which is to be played at Jacksonville, Florida, the Georgia Tech Engineers will best the Nittany Lions of Penn State. Tech's defense has been superb all season as they allowed only 43 points in nine games and they did not allow more than one touchdown in any game. The place-kicking of Don Jonas might keep State in the game. Georgia Tech will stop Penn State, 14-10. Next we turn to the New Year's Day classics. The Cotton Bowl at Dallas, Texas finds the University of Texas clashing with the Mississippi Rebels. Coach Johnny Vaught's Rebels will find it difficult to overcome the high-scoring 'fexas team led by All-American halfback Jimmy Saxton. In a wild game Texas will outscore Mississippi, 34-26. The Sugar Bowl contest will match University of Alabama's Crimtopson Tide with the University of Arkansas Razorbacks. Boasting the top defense in the nation Coach Bear Bryant's tide will stymie the flashy running of Arkansas' Lance Alworth. The Alabama offensive machine has produced lopsided victories for the tide all season. Alabama will blast the Razorbacks, 27-12. Miami, Florida will be the scene of the Orange Bowl game. The University of Colorado's Buffaloes will collide with Paul Dietzel's LSU Tigers. Louisiana State has a formidable defensive squad and should stop the Buff attack. Although Colorado will display the talent of their two All-Americans, end Jerry Hillebrand and tackle Joe Romig, they will succumb to the Tigers, 17-7. The Rose Bowl game in Pasadena, California provides us with our final remarkable prediction. In this classic the Gophers of the University of Minnesota invade the lair of the UCLA Bruins. The Gophers will be eager to reverse last year's loss to the University of Washington in the Rose Bowl. Led by All-American quarterback Sandy Stephens, Minnesota will defeat the U clans, 20-8. These forecasts have been made by means of voluminous research, mathematical formulas of a staggering magnitude, and guessing. Besides these methods of prediction we also read the Beacon with unerring regularity. Perhaps his finest effort of the season was against the Bears of Ursinus College. In this contest Jim appeared always to be on hand to smash down any Bear ballcarrier who tried to breach the tough Wilkes line. He earned Dick Morgan Beacon Athlete of the Week honors Dick has been replaced in the lineup by Joe McAndrew and Al for this contest. Doner, who are alternated frequently.

He is the general of the Wilkes forces. Rebounding has been the major weakness of the team. This deficiency, most assuredly, does not stem from lack of hustle on the part of the team members.

Tom Pugh, John Moore, and Bob 22 W. Northampton SL Fleming, through obviously outstanding performances, have prevented the Colonels from being completely outdistanced in the rebounding department. Another striking team inadequacy is the lack of experienced players in reserve. The starting five players have been forced to assume a staggering amount of responsibility. They must play, by far, the major portion of each contest. This will, in time, lead to fatigue and perhaps inefficiency. A strong bench is essential to any team and this shortcoming is proving costly to the Colonels.

Students will have the advantage of seeing the celebrated Actor-Pantomimist, Harry Barton at the Assembly Program on January 11. Pantomime is one of the oldest, seldom seen, and least known of the Theater Arts. Harry Barton has undoubtedly had an experienced background in the art of pure motion. He studied dramatic theory at Xaviery University; characterization and recital technique with J. Bradley Griffin, Chicago, Illinois, and dancing with Ivan Fehnova, formerly of the Imperial Ballet at Petrograd. For the past four years, he has been an active member of the Uptown Players of Chicago. He also is a member of the Show Folks of America, The International Platform Association, and the American National Theater and Academy. Harry Barton's Pantomime is the only work of its kind in America today, and it is well known from coast to coast. In his work, Mr. Barton has borrowed from the F r e n c h, Italian, and Russian schools. From the French, he has borrowed the curve as the basic pattern of pantomime movement. Many of the stock characterizations which were the making of the "Comedia d'el Arte" have been borrowed from the Italian school of pantomime. From the Russians, M.r. Barton has taken symbolism in color, such as the white scull cap for romance and abstraction, the red for comedy, and the black for tragedy and despair. With his galaxy of caricatures and sketches, 1\'lr. Barton, playing many parts, will enfold the story of drama in its entirety. It is certainly worth seeing a pantomimist change from a comedian to a satirist and then to a king of tragedy on stage all within a relatively short period of time. •*********************** Look Your Best •..

Everyone has no doubt heard of the famous "pill within, a pill," but how many have ever heard of the Wilkes campus within the Wilkes campus. Unknown to most students and new faculty members, there is another Wilkes College campus. This one, however, is reduced to miniature and located on the third floor of Sturdevant Hall, packed away in boxes. But this inner campus did not always lead such a secluded life. It was the star of many exhibitions in its nine year life.

Originally scheduled for a three day run, an enthusiastic audience requested an extension of its engagement to two weeks. But what exactly is this campus within a campus? According to its creator, Mr. Stanley Wasilewski of the Mathematics Department, it is a scale model of the Wilkes College campus consisting of a nine by sixteen foot platform on which are constructed 3 0 buildings which comprised the campus at the time of the model's construction. Parrish Hall and the buildings acquired since 1959 are not included in the model because of the time required to construct the buildings. This is because each building is made of poster paper, shaped in proportion to the original buildings and to the other buildings in the scale model. Each building is so constructed that it can easily be identified as a replica of the original building. Mr. Wasilewski commented that he determined the success of his efforts by having his son, now a freshman at Wilkes, identif y the buildings. The campus is represented down to the last details ; walls, fences, trees, street lights, and even the white furniture on the lawn of Chase Hall. Although the college is continuing to add properties and the model falls one behind with every new addition, the model is a valuable record of the growth of Wilkes and should be carefully preserved for future reference. .....................

It involved the financing of an activity sponsored by a group that is not "recognized".

Because of the cultural advantage involved, several Student Government members proposed that the Government sponsor the films under the chairmanship of Mr. Ribas, Spanish instructor. This motion was passed. Rick Rees and Bud Meneker, cochairmen of the Winter Carnival, made a report of possible locations. Buckhill Falls Inn offered the best physical set-up for winter sports, however, several other places were investigated. Another technicality was exposed when Cue and Curtain submitted an activity form with only one chaperone. The Government decided to accept it because a similar form from the theatrical group had been accepted previously.

Novice Debaters Rest; Varsity Goes to Villanova Last weekend, a novice debate team travelled to Temple University to participate in an annual novice debate tournament. This was the third tournament of the current season for the novice team and marks the end of the novices' activity until the second semester. At Temple University, the Wilkes affirmative team, composed of John Campbell and Andy Majikas, met teams from the University of Delaware, Rosemont College, the University of Maryland, and Columbia University. The negative team, composed of William ·Holmes and Pauline Bostjancic, met teams from Hunter College, George Washington University, Dartmouth College, and Holy Family College. The varsity team opens its season tomorrow at Villanova University in that school's Second Annual Invitational Debate Tournament. For this tournament, Campbell and Majikas will remain on the affirmative; Lynne Dente and Jerome Krasa make up the negative team.

In the spirit of the forthcoming season, not only will the traditional Christmas tree appear in the lobby, but, in addition, Saint Nick, in spite of an extremely busy schedule, has graciously consented to make an advance visit to Wilkes to reward all good boys and girls with favors. To further set the mood, Dean Ralston and the Lettermen will entertain with caroling during intermission. Santa's helpers responsible for organizing the affair are Donald Eller, favors; Erwin Guetig, orchestra; Thomas Pugh, invitations; Brooke Yeager, program; John Tensa, chaperones; Roger Rolfe, decorations; Paul Aquilino, tickets. The girls of Theta Delta Rho have also helped the "Merry Old Soul" by designing the table decorations, while Leonard Yoblonski and William Schwab have created the backdrop for the orchestra. Dean George Ralston, Dr. Francis Michelini, and Dr. Harold Thatcher will chaperone the affair, which will last until midnight - the witching hour, when all the magic will disappear and reality will return. Scholarships Available To Eligible Students The Student Government is now accepting applications for Student Government scholarships. These scholarships are available to any student who is not presently receiving scholarship assistance. Forms are now ready at the Student Government office and also in the office of Miss Joan Borowski, Mr. Morris' secretary. The scholarships amount to $460 and will be split into four awards and will be presented for the Spring semester. The deadline for application is January 5. A committee of Student Government members will select a list of names from the applications and these in turn will be presented to the executive council for the final decision. �2 Wll.KES COLLEGE BEACON University of Chicago Offers Fellowships lo Scholar-Teachers Herman G. Richey, Dean of the Graduate School of Education at the University of Chicago, has announced that sixty fellowships ranging in amount from $500 to $2000 have been made available for qualified college seniors who are interested in preparing for a career as a scholar-teacher in secondary schools. Recipients of the awards will enter the University's Master of Arts in Teaching program in September of 1962. According to Dr. Richey the program is designed to produce high school teachers who will be outstanding both in scholarly competence and in teaching effectiveness. This program includes up to a year of graduate study in the department of the teaching field and inquiry into the art and science of teaching, including one year as a salaried resident teacher with a reduced load. The scholar-teacher program, developed with assistance from the Ford Foundation, integrates the study of theoretical concepts, extensive practice in the art of teaching, and graduate study and research in one of twelve areas. The twelve fields for which the program provides preparation are biology, chemistry, English, French, geography, German, history, mathematics, physics, Russian, Spanish, and social studies. Students with good undergraduate records of preparation in the liberal arts and sufficient concentration for graduate study in one of the twelve teaching fields are eligible to be considered. Criteria for selection include intellectual capacity, scholarly aptitudes, and assessment of personality and other characteristics relevant to effective teaching. Additional information and application forms may be obtained from the Dean of Students, Graduate School of Education, University of Chicago, Chicago 37, Illinois. Hungry, Thirsty Explorers Gave Country Novel Place Names Ever wonder how a place got its name? Or what the name means? Writer Gary Jennings did and from his curiosity has come an article titled "Why Did They Call It That ?" which appears in the December Reader's Digest. · Among the conclusions Jennings came to during his research was that many of our early settlers wer e hungry or thirsty. This may be a natural assumption in view of the historic travails of explorers and discoverers. But Jennings bases his case on more than history; he cites such names as Bread Loaf and Sugar Loaf Mountains and Martha's Vineyard, among others as evidence of our forebears' gastronomic interest. Not merely hungry and thirsty but also tired were our early settlers, if the profligeration of names such as Kate Comfort are proper indications. Indian names, which we sunround with an air of mystery and romance, are somewhat more prosaic than we like to think. For example, the article notes, the lovely Indian word "she-ka-gong," which in transliteration became Chicago, actually means "stinking river". , .Occasionally citizens will realize the publicity value of a namechange for their community, as happened recently when the tiny community of Tightsqueeze, Va., changed its name to Fairview. Dazzled by breaking into news columns with this switch, the town fathers promptly changed the name back to Tightsqueeze and made headlines again! When last heard from the town was still called Tightsqueeze, presumably to remain so until an enterprising publicist decides the time is right for a change.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1961 STUDENT SKETCH Letter to the Editor • • • Dear Mr. Editor: Mr. Siegel's letter of last week was an ineffectual exposition of selfishness. On the whole, I agree with Mr. Siegel that "a liberal arts student is mainly interested in receiving a broad education." However, it should be obvious, even to Mr. Siegel, that so many courses are offered at Wilkes, the liberal arts student might have to carry 135 credits during his stay at Wilkes to acquire this "broad" education. If Mr. Siegel had taken the time to read the Wilkes College Bulletin, he might have saved us from the shock of his flagrant misconceptions. The truth is that "the liberal arts program is primarily concerned with individual development and with the cultivation of an understanding of our civilization and of the men who have created it and lived in it. Its studies are concerned with men and events, thoughts and institutions, art and science. It creates breadth and perspective as opposed to narrow skills." The purpose of the Bachelor of Science degree is not, as Mr. Siegel says, to see that "the students who are in college to receive a vocation are adequately trained for a job." As far as I am concerned, the purpose of the Bachelor of Science degree is the same as that of the Liberal Arts degree. However, most of the students I know working for a Bachelor of Science degree had decided what they would like to major in before they came to college. Because of this, _they were able to take courses in their major right from their first semester as freshmen. This does not mean that students working for Bachelor of Science degrees receive a narrow education, for they are also required to take many courses covering a wide variety of subject matter. It's just that Bachelor of Science students seem to receive a greater concentration in their major fields of endeavor during early semesters at college. Mr. Siegel is right when he says, "It is often better to have quality and not quantity," but may I further remind my friend that it is even better to have quality and quantity, both of which can be had at Wilkes. Sincerely, Michael A. Landesman Class of 1964 National Contest Will Honor All-Round Coed as Outstanding College Girl Who will be the next National College Queen?

Senior Music Education Major To Give Sunday Organ Recilal by Jerry Shilanski "A man that has a taste of music, painting, or achitecture, is like one that has another sense, when compared with such as have no relish of those arts." Had you stopped at a London newstand, just 250 years ago, you would have read this statement in a little tabloid known as The Spectator rather than The Beacon. Nevertheless, where or when you read it is immaterial. The important thing is that it is appropriate today, and that it applies to a fair senior coed at Wilkes, perhaps more than any other person past or present. Nancy R. Thomas has "always been interested in music and art," therefore it is not at all urprising that she decided to major in music education when she entered college four years ago. She has devoted at least ten years of study and practice to the piano and organ. Sunday afternoon, these years of hard work will be climaxed when Nancy gives her senior music recital on the fourmanual pipe organ. The public is invited to attend. The program which includes selections from Bach, Franck, Dallier, Von Williams, and Langlais will begin at 4:00 p.m. in St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, located at 35 South Franklin Street. The recital will be under the direction of Clifford Balshaw, a member of the college music faculty and Organist and Choir Director of St. Stephen's Church.

Releases may be obtained from Dean Ralston's secretary on the second floor of Chase Hall or from Ellie Nielsen, at noon, in the Commons. Mrs. Doris Saracino, coach of the girls' basketball team, recently welcomed a gratifying turnout of 35 girls who are hopeful of attaining one of the six starting positions on the team. Four returning letter winners will form the core of the Colonelette squad. These four are Carol Rhines, Anne Ligetti, Carol Thomas, the only senior on the roster, and Regina Ritzie. Miss Ritzie was high scorer last season and, in a game with Misericordia, tossed in 34 points. The remainder of the candidates are mostly frosh. Among these are a number of fine prospects who have had experience in high school. Although, as Mrs. Saracino reports, many of the girls have not had previous varsity experience, they are all working hard to form a winning team. This afternoon at 4 the Colonelettes will journey across the river to play the Kingston High School team. This is the first of a series of pre-season exhibition games which have been scheduled to provide the girls with much-needed experience. On Monday the girls will play Coughlin High School at the Wilkes Gym at 4 p.m. and on Wednesday, Jan. 13, they travel to St. Ann's Academy for another 4 p.m. encounter. Middle Atlantic Conference competition will begin for Mrs. Saracino's charges on Jan. 4 when they travel to Moravian College for a night game. Among the other teams on their tentative schedule are Misericordia, Albright, and Muhlenberg.

Although the Ithaca College five are not members of the MASCAC Coach Davis considers them one of the most formidable opponents of the season. Last season the lthacamen took an 89-67 win from the Colonels as the Blue and Gold were hampered by an overflow of personal fouls. An effective fast break brought on this flood of personals as the Colonels :ried to stop the high-stepping Bombers before they outran them. This 7ear's Ithaca squad is a carbon-copy of last season's with the run and -~ore technique of ball practiced. This year the Davismen will be out to out-hustle and out-drive their hosts in order to repay them for the Bombers' victory at home last season.

The performance will begin at 8:15 p.m.; proceeds from the affair will go to the Scholarship Fund for local colleges created by the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce. Students may purchase tickets for the performance from members of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Jaycees or from the Central Ticket Agency in Wilkes-Barre. The Don Cossack Group was organized in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Members of the chorus possess what is internationally considered the best of vocal and dancing talent obtainable among the White Russian emigres who escaped from Communist Russia. Their program in- Wilkes-Barre will be a varied one including Iiturgical music, folk songs, love songs, cossack battle songs, dances, and a group of English songs. In addition they will pr esent the authentic dances of the cossack regiments, national dances, and the thrilling Cossack Sword Dances, "Lezginka". Columnist Gives Views On Student Preparation Learning to earn a living is not necessarily learning how to live, feels Clyde Buzzard, Tulane Hullabaloo columnist. He comments: " ... Almost anybody can make a living these days, but almost nobody goes to the trouble of actually being alive. "How many students have seriously considered what they will do with their spare time when they get out of school? How many people have looked past the contents of their life to discover what kind of form it's going to have? Few, I'll warrant. "Don't think that I'm going to talk about well-rounded men. I prefer men with lots of corners on them. In fact the analogy would be better if I switched sexes and said I like women with curves, but not women who are all one curve. "It seems to me that universities would do well to concentrate a.little more on preparing their students to meet themselves one of these days, rather than spending the time preparing them to meet the world. "Who knows! Eventually the world might even meet them halfway."

Dean's O_ffice Announces Completion of Lounge For Women Students Freshman Coed Brings Extensive Background lo Presidential Post by Maryann Berger The women of Wilkes have been anticipating for a long time the completion of the women's lounge, and the Dean's office is happy to announce that work has been complet ed and the lounge is now ready for occupancy. Women day students may relax or study in the lounge which is located on the second floor of Pickering Hall. Highlighted by comfortabl e leather chairs in a variety of colors and pale green carpeting, it is at once r elaxing and beautiful. With the off-white walls and beige drapes the room makes one think of a peaceful haven in which to r ela x and forget everything. Another service available to the women day students at the lounge is first aid. Anv woman student needing medical ·aid is advised to call the office of the Dean of W omen and aid will be sent at once to the lounge. Voters in the freshman class recently demonstrated modem sociological trends when they elected Cathy DeAngelis president. To this reporter's knowledge, it was the first time in the history of Wilkes that a woman student was chosen head of her class. Miss DeAngelis brings to her post an extensive background in administrative duties.

Though membership is open to all students interested in German, it is not necessary to be taking German at the present time. Florence Gallagher is chairman of the group. The students are planning to sing Christmas carols at the homes of members of the group on Friday, December 22. They are also planning to have a German lunch table in the cafeteria at which German will be spoken almost exclusively. At their last meeting, Mr. Fred Krohle showed slides which he had taken on his recent tour of Europe. An informal group of twenty of the students took a trip to Philadelphia last Saturday to see Schiller's Mary Stuart. They were a ccompanied by Mr. Disque, Miss Dworski, and Mr. Ribas. Science Foundation to Aid Undergraduate Studies To meet the critical need of many educational institutions, particularly smaller colleges, for modern sci entific instructional equipment, the National Science Foundation r ecently announced a program to provide funds, on a carefully selective and matching basis, for the purchase of scientific equipment for undergraduate instruction. Colleges and universities granting science bachelors degrees may request funds to assist them in purchasing scientific equipment to be used in the laboratory or in lecture.demonstratio.n sessions. Examples of -equipment eligible for purchase under the program include microscopes, centrifuges, microtones, test eq_liipIP,ent, . and similar scientific .apparatus. . Proposals may not exceed $25thousand ii\ order that the widest possible group of departments may benefit. All grants in the program are required to be on a matching basis with at least 50 per cent of the direct costs to be incurred derived from non-Federal sources. Each institution offering the bachelor's degree in the sciences will be advised, by a letter to its president, of the maximum number of proposals which will be accepted for review. Each president will then select those disciplinary units of his school which may seek support. In those cases where r ecognition She is a registered nurse and a graduate of Scranton State Hospital. She worked last year at Columbia Medical Center in New York City. During her years in training she ser ved the area, state, and National Student Nurses Association. This association started when Cathy acted as master of ceremonies at an area talent show for the Student Nurses Association. Her next appearance came at the end of her freshman year when she presented a comedy skit about emcees at the state convention talent show. This won her an award for the best act in the show. Because of this success, she was invited to emcee the National Student Nurses Association talent shows in both Atlantic City and Miami Beach Convention Halls. These were held before estimated audiences of 5,000 to 6,000 persons. Student Nurses Association of Pennsylvania (SNAP) elected her vice-president for the year 1959-60. She also served as chairman of the membership committee on the state level. SNAP awarded her a life-membership in their organization. This has been given to only one other woman, the founder of the Pennsylvania chapter. Cathy is presently majoring in biology with medical school in her future plans. Studying to be a doctor is a fulfillment of a long-time dream. When asked about the campaign on campus, Cathy stated, "It was a spirited campaign, one of the finest campaigns I have seen." Cathy wishes to state that Mary Leen Vannoy, h er campaign manager, "was tops, really sharp, full of ideas" when it comes to effective campaigning. She went on to say, "If all the nominees were really sincere, want to work, and will cooperate, we should really go places." " I think it's great that the students were unbiased, and I will try to prove that they were right in making this decision. There is no distinction between male and female in this capacity." of the need for improvement of the content and focus of undergraduate instruction is accompanied by adequate staffing and supported by detailed planning, the Undergraduate Instructional Scientific Equipment Program may assist by providing, on a matching basis, the necessary instructional equipment. ~- + + • + + + • • • Book & Card Marl 10 S.

DIGEST ARTICLE STATES: Intelligence Tests No Longer Reliable Intelligence tests are no longer very intelligent ways to judge intelligence. In fact, a pupil's intelligence can be as accurately revealed by his grades and his behavior as they can by I.Q. test scores. This is among conclusions drawn by many psychologists and educators and reported by John Lagemann in a December Reader's Digest article, which criticizes toorigid reliance on I.Q. tests as outmoded and harmful. I.Q. (Intelligence Quotient) scores were once regarded as accurate harbingers of academic success. "Hifh -1.Q.'s" were carefully nursed along t o w a r d college careers, while low scorers were academically sidetracked. I.Q. scores are still heavily relied upon in deciding how our children fare academically, although teachers are becoming more cautious in their use of the tests. One drawback of I.Q. tests is that they don't really measure intelligence, which is an amalgam of many different qualities. Dr. H~n.ry Dyer of the Princeton, N.J., Educational Testing Service says, "An aptitude test tells how well a pupil can cope with tasks like those in the test at the time he takes the test, and it tells nothing more." One of the qualities I.Q. cannot accurately reveal is creativity, a vital factor in intelligence .Another is adaptability. Tests tend to favor fast "top-of-the-head" thinkers over creative, reflective ones. Another objection to I.Q. tests is that they tend to equate intelligence with cultural advantages. Children in prosperous surroundings show about four times as many above 1Z5 I.Q. scores as their poorer, citydwelling counterparts-not because of greater ability, but thanks to greater exposure to such cultural advantages as books and magazines. Some educators have suggested that we throw out the standardized, machine-graded tests altogether, and rely on more individual methods of measuring intelligence. What- FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1961 Student Government ActivUies Policy Becomes Effective Today by Gloria Zaludek Student Government's newly adopted policy regarding activities forms will go into effect today. This recently adopted policy states that all organizations must obtain permission from the Student Government to hold all student funcions. These funcions include both those open to the entire student body and those closed to the members of a particular group or organization and their guests. Activities forms must be submitted to the calendar committee of the Student Government for approval not less than two weeks prior to the scheduled activity. These forms may be procured from the office of the Director of Student Activities or from the Student Government. At the Student Government meetings, the calendar committee will submit the activities forms signed by two chaperones in addition to the club's president or vice-president, and the chairman of the affair. Student Government will prosecute violators of the new policy with penalties, social or financial, according to the severity of the offense. Several other issues were discussed at the last meeting. Mike Bianco and Jim Walters moved that the $471.66, remaining in the budget Al Kishel from last year, be allocated for Student Govemment President scholarships and / or for the stereo- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - < > p h o n i c equipment in the cafeteria.

After that the tall Lions stayed on the winning road as they won the MAC championship by defeating highly-rated Hofstra and advanced to the quarter-finals of the NAIA tourney before losing to Mt.

The ball-hawking duo of Pearsal and Evans spelled plenty of trouble for the Wilkesmen last season and will be out to match their fifty-point outburst that spelled victory for the Lions. Also back is Sommerstadt, a I an k y forward who gathered in 16 rebounds in last season's contest. Tom Saul will replace Little All-American Dick Van Dine at the pivot post and the 6'-6" junior is being tagged with AllMAC laurels in the pre-season polls. On Tuesday the Colonels travel to Ithaca to meet the Bombers of Ithaca College. The B o m b e r s downed the Colonels, 89-73, last year and the Davismen will be out to return the favor as Ithaca opens its home schedule with this contest.

Leading the Colonels onto the hardwoods are co-captains Tom Pugh and Harvey Rosen. Pugh, a 6'1" senior, has been the mainstay of the Colonel squad for the past three seasons and has matured into a sturdy rebounder and playmaker under the watchful eye of Davis. "Guff" is especially noted for his deadly hook-shots as he rotates inthe post. Rosen, a 6'2" junior, was the top scorer on the Colonel squad last season and was crowned "King of the Foul Line" by leading the country's hoopsters in foul shooting. The "Rose" is especially accurate with his patented jump-shot. The rest of the starting five is made up of Dick Morgan, Bob Fleming, and John Moore. Morgan will be the playmaker of the squad as he replaces Clem Gavenas at a guard post. The sturdy sophomore is a crafty ball handler and will furnish the speed on the fast break.

Saodat Hosan, chief of press and public liaison will speak on a subject dealing with the countries of the Arab Middle East. All too often, many of us merely scan the headlines and are little concerned with affairs in countries other than our own. The countries with which Mr. Hosan is familiar are currently coping with political. social. and economic problems which frequently lead to international repercussions. Opportunities such as this, to learn first hand information, which, with the world situation today, could affect all of us as individuals. We should all make an earnest effort to attend this interesting and informative lecture. To the anonymous Liberal Arts Student : In regard to your virulent charge that Liberal Arts students are unjustly required to subsidize students pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree, I feel that your alleged objections are somewhat unwarranted. A liberal arts student is mainly interested in receiving a broad education. The technical stud en t (usually taking a Bachelor of Science degree), however, is in college to receive a vocation. In order to be adequately trained for a job, the technical aspirant requires many more hours of personal instruction. The liberal arts student needs only an introduction to the material and, if he is ambitious enough, can successfully fulfill his interest in the subject matter. The college provides a library of some 55,000 volumes and numerous periodicals. Furthermore, the facilities of the Osterhout and Hoyt Libraries and if the student is a sedulous bee, he can write through the college to the New York Public Library and receive most any information that interests him. The college also presents the WilkesBarre Philharmonic O r c h e s t r a which should interest anyone who considers himself in the liberal arts. Unless Mr. Disgruntled Liberal Arts Student is a lethargic troglodyte, I feel that he can receive a very good and broad education at Wilkes by working earnestly and ardently. I have unequivocally shown that the disconted liberal arts students can mitigate their fears for they are not being treated unjustly. May I further remind my friend that is often better to have quality and not quantity. Sincerely Philip R. Siegel Class of 1963 NEW BOOKS Works of Khrushchev/ Borek, and Hall Added lo Library Shelves A major book no thinking American can afford to miss is Nikita S. Khrushchev's For Victory in Peaceful Competition with Capitalism. In its pages the Premier and First Deputy of the Soviet Union gives his "blueprint for tomorrow" as he reveals what he thinks about everything from Sputniks to "liberation" of West Berlin. American readers will be particularly interested in his unusual interpretation of history found in such statements as "The Soviet Union developed the hydrogen bomb before the United States'' and "There was never an agreement to hold free elections in Germany." Today, our most elaborate scientific · efforts are directed toward probing the vastness of space. But equally spectacular and potentially more beneficial exploration is going on within the infinitely small cell as illustrated by Dr. Ernest Borek in The Atoms Within Us. The great biochemical discoveries are discussed; how they were made, and how man's longevity and freedom from disease have grown from them. Louis Halie's Dream and Reality deals with the human nature of foreign policy. Mr. Halle, a former member of the State Department's Policy Planning Staff, writes as one who knows from personal experience that government is people. Written in a prose that makes reading a pleasure, this book covers all the aspects of American foreign policy. He is unarmed but not defenceless, for he has a deadly weaponhis tongue and his wit. He is poor, but the world is his. He is lonely, but has a million friends. Such is the hero of a novel by Leonid Solouyou e n t i t 1 e d The Enchanted Prince.

Varied Experiences Recommended For Ari Sludenls by Kajkowski by Gloria Zaludek "In art we continually search, put down what we find, then look for something better. It is the spirit of creativity that we foster." Edward Kajkowski, senior art education major and president of the Art Club, looked up from his canvas to philosophize a little about art. Ed is a realist. but has great respect for abstract art. In answer to this reporter's question, "What do you look for in an abstract painting?" Ed answered: "First check the title. If a concrete meaning or emotion is suggested, for example, 'Revolt!' then the artist has a specific, planned purpose behind his efforts. Colors would be emotional; contrast would be more pronounced; edges, jagged; movement, strong and erratic." To be a good artist one must have varied experiences. A student can often gain such experiences by working at diversified part-time jobs. Ed has done this. A former bingo caller and an employee of the Bureau of Employment Security in Nanticoke, he has also worked at the Twin Pines Dude Ranch in the Poconos. Activity is the keynot of Ed's life. In addition to serving as president of the Art Club, Ed, who will student teach next semester, is a member of the Manuscript, the Wilkes-Barre Art League, and a former member of the Chemistry Club. Unlike other student teachers who spend eight weeks in one school, art majors teach four weeks in the elementary and four in the Edward Kajkowski secondary schools. Ed has several ---------------,1->interesting views concerning art education. He says that the teaching of art does not simply involve the production of "pretty pictures".

Pointing out that federal aid to ed ucat ion is here, and here to stay, with the fe deral government now paying 80 per cent of the cost of research at universities, the SUI graduate college dean added that 95 per cent of this subsidy goes to the natural sciences. "While massive aid is clearly needed for -the research effort in the sciences , the preoccupation of the fed eral agencies with these branches of learning unquestionably brings imbalances of support into our a cademic household that we ca·n not li ve with and be true to our calling," the SUI dean said. In a n effort to develop the whole a cadem ic spectrum universities need to urge consideration of an 'Advanced Institute for Humanistic Studies' and of a 'Social Science Foundation,' Dean Weaver said. Ther e is also reason for concern lest government agencies with clearly defined practical jobs to be done divert able scholars into routine programs of testing and development, rather than leaving them free to engage in fundam ental research far more consistent with Northeastern Pennsylvania's Headquarters for College Fashions GAN THE NEW UNIVERSITYSHOP ~,.z,'"- -~t)1iaf.wt. Navy Offers Training As Sea~going Officers To Interested Seniors The Navy announced recently that college seniors interested in a training program for sea-going officers or for officers of the Navy Staff Corps are eligible to apply now for appointment to Officer Candidate School. The school, which is located in Newport, Rhode Island, provides candidates with the academic, technical , and military background necessary for Naval Service. Young men with college degrees may obtain commission after four months of schooling at Newport. In addition to a college degree, a candidate must be a citizen of the United States and between the ages of nineteen and twenty-seven. Classes convene at Newport every two months, and because of recent expansion of Officer Candidate School facilities, a greater number of candidates can now be accomodated. Applications are now being accepted for the 1962 classes. A Navy Information Team will visit our campus next Wednesday and Thursday to conduct an informal discussion of the program as well as the numerous other officer programs a vailable to college men. This team, comprised of LCDR. Nadler and Lt. Bess Bryant, is from the Na vy Recruiting Station in Philadelphia and will be prepared to answer any questions which students may have. These officers will be in the Cafeteria on both these days.

No. 9 Last April, in the First Presbyterian Church of Wilkes-Barre, a group of sixteen Madrigal Singers under the direction of Mr. Richard Chapline, music department instructor, recorded a Wilkes College Christmas Album. The Christmas carols included in the album were selected by Mr. Chapline and are favorites of the group. by Barbara A. Lore A young Cleveland pianist of international a cclaim, Joel Shapiro, will present several selections from his 1961-1962 repertoire for the entertainment of the Wilkes College ass em b I y on Thursday, November 30, at 11 a.m. Although a relatively young artist, Mr. Shapiro has been the recipient of numerous international honors. In 1959 he was awarded the coveted "Premier Prix avec Distinction, Laureat Premier Nomme" at the piano competition of the Brussels Royal Conservatory of Music. At this time, he was also selected to perform with orchestra in a gala concert and recital sponsored by the American ambassador in Brussels a fact which prompt ed Congresswoman Frances P. Bolton of Ohio to proclaim that he was doing an invaluable service in contributing to American cultural prestige. At the Darche Competition h eld in Brussels in December, 1960, befor e a distinguished international jury, Shapiro captured the first prize of 25,000 Belgian francs. His most recent triumph came with the presentation of the 1961 Harriet Cohen International Bach Prize, described b y the British Government Information Service as a "sort of musical Nobel Prize." The significan ce of this award is evidenced by the fact that it is patronized by Pablo Casals, worldfamou s cellist. His background, as w ell as his performances, has an international flavor for Mr. Shapiro has studied not only with American instructors Beryl Rub enstein and Frank Sheridan, but also with Nadia Boulanger, Artur Rub enstein , and Robert Casadesus of Frances, and famous Polish pianist Stephan Askenase. Mr. Shapiro, who has been enthusiastically received on his previous tours throughout Europe, will embark on another extensive European jaunt in 1962, which will include performances in Berlin, Paris, Copenhagen, and Vienna. The final performances of Noel Coward's "Blithe Spirit" will be held tonight and Saturday night at the Chase Theater. Tonight's performance will begin at 7:40 p.m. On Saturday evening, the play will begin promptly at 8:30 p.m. Radio Club Broadcasts Announcements in 'Caf' by Mary Alice Isganitis The Wilkes College Amateur Radio Club, under the auspices of the Student Government, is now providing a new service to the students of Wilkes. Members of the club will announce important events on the public address system in the cafeteria. Any student who wishes somethi ng of importance announced is asked to place the information in the Radio Club's mailbox, located in the bookstore, twenty-four hours before announcement time. Announcements will be made on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the noon hour. Urgent announcements will be made on other days. On December 1, the Radio Club will hold open house in Pickering Hall from noon to 5 p.m. The purpose of this demonstration is to acclimate the students of the college to the activities of the club. One need not to be a Marconi to learn how to operate a ham radio, for no previous experience is required. The Radio Club has a wide rang e of contacts and is now planning to transmit messages for out-of-town stud ents. These messages will be beamed to the student's hometown at no cost to the sender. Also on December 1, the Radio Club will hold a dance in the gymnasium entitled "The Cathode Caper." The dance will be held after the School Spirit's Powder Bowl Game. Bobby Baird and his band will supply the music for the evening. John Biga is general chairman of the affair and will be assisted by Ken Krupinski, Michael Loncoski, Margaret Rutz, and Joan Sipko.

In keping with the holiday spirit, the decorations will have a holiday theme with a large backdrop duplicating a seasonal scene. The air will be filled with enchanting music supplied by Jack Melton and his orchestra. Dancing will be from 9 to midnight at the gym which will be transformed into a winter wonderland. Serving as general co-chairmen for the formal are Rick Rees and George Tensa. Roger Rolfe is in charge of decorations with Len Y oblonski and Bill Schwab handling the backdrop creation. Paul Aquilino is chairman of the ticket committee and Don Eller, the favors committee. Program chairman is Brooke Yeager with Erwin Guetig handling the orchestra and lighting.

Jaycees Sponsor Drive To Aid State Hospital A book drive, sponsored by the Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce, will be h eld from November 15 to December 5 for the benefit of the Retreat State Hospital. The Director of Nursing at the h ospital, Miss Florence Bujno, a Wilkes College alumna, made a plea for books in the following fields: anatomy, biology, zoology, histology, psychology, sociology, first aid, and all kinds of nursing books. Condition and age of the books does not matter. Students who wish to donate books are asked to place them in "book boxes" which will be located in the main buildings on campus. If it is not possible to bring them to school, contact Nick Adams or Clyde Roberts, and they will arrange to pick up the books. The Wilkes Jaycees, on behalf of the Retreat State Hospital, urge all students to contribute as many books as possible to this drive. Notre Dame Inaugurates Program to Prepare Freshmen for College A n ew program affecting the instruction of incoming freshmen at the University of Notre Dame beginning in September, 1962, was explained by the Rev. Theodore M. Hesburg, University president. The first-year student will not enter directly into any of Notre Dame's four undergr~duate colleges, but instead will commen ce a n ew "Freshman Year of Studies". Father Hesburg explained that while the fr eshman applicant will be r equired to make a "declaration of intent" indicating a preferen ce for liberal arts, science, engineering, or business administration, his decision will not be final until the spring of his freshman year. One of the chief values of the new "Freshman Year of Studies" is that the freshman will have the advantage of a year of actual experience at N otre Dame as well as Notre Dame co unseling before making final edu cational plans. He will no longer be r eq uired to make these important decisions while still in hig.h school. by Mary Frances Barone Dr. Charles B. Reif returns again to the Beatnik Bop, where he made his debut three years ago reading his first original beatnik poetry. Dr. Reif has been a guest performer for the dance since the Beatnik Bop was created by the Psychology-Sociology Club as an annual affair. Joining Dr. Reif this year will be Mr. Stanley Gutin, a member of the English department. Mr. Gut in has consented to display his poetical talents as a beatnik poet during the dance intermission. Following the poetical exploits, the n ext attraction will be contests for the best bearded beatnik male, the best "beat" male without a beard, and the best beatnik "chick". The best bearded beatnik male will be awarded a $5 gift certificate. There will be two consolation prizes for the runners-up. Prizes will also be given to the winn ers of the other contests. Dr. Robert Riley and Dr. Fred Bellas , chaperones of the affair, will act as judges for the contests. J immy Walters, master of ceremonies for the intermission, will aid the judges in their decisions. The finale of the entertainment will be the. appearance of the Warner Trio. The Trio, which includes Ronnie Borick, George Evancho, and Bob King, will chant a few folk songs for the guests at the "pad". Capturing the theme of the dance, Joe Gelli, decorations chairman, has announ ced that the gym will be transformed into a beatnik "pad", which means apartment in the Queen's English. Original modern art will help provide the unique beatnik atmosphere. To emphasize the beatnik theme, a flut e player has been added to the regular group of musicians, led by Bill J erome. Atmospheric background music will be supplied during intermission. Psy-Soc Club Goes to KC All-College Dance Set for Next Week On November 2 Cecile Gratkowski and Pat Fallon represented the Psychology-Sociology Club at a meeting held at King's College. Representatives from all the local Psychology-Sociology clubs of area colleges attended. At the meeting Monsignor Deuel explained a Papal Decree concerning the economic, social, and political conditions of America. Also included among the topics dis cussed were the psychological aspects of Communism and slum clearance. The girls received a sincere and warm welcome from the president of the college. He expressed the hope that the relationship between King's and Wilkes will improve in the future, and he extended an invitation to all Wilkes students to participate in any a ctivity conducted at King's. The thirteenth annual All-College Dance will be held one week from today starting at 9 p.m. and ending at midnight in the gymnasium. This affair, held during every Thanksgiving holiday, is open to all college students of the area who are home on vacation. Frankie Reynolds' Quintet will provide music for the evening. Lou Coopey, chairman, has announced that no admission will be charged. Student Government, sponsors of the dance, request that guests wear sport jackets. Marguerite Gelli is refreshment chairman, and Tom Penhale is in charge of coat checking. �wn.n:s 2 COLLEGE BEACON Friday, November 17, 1961 STUDENT SKETCH EDITORIAL- Save Lives Not Time As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, students are looking forward to a much needed rest and an intermission from the daily routine. As we go our separate ways, many to attend football games, parties, and of course the long-awaited traditional Thanksgiving dinner, a reminder to all who will be traveling is in order. Highway traffic will be at a high over the holiday weekend and once again there will no doubt be a large number of accidents. A warning to all of us comes by way of a few vital statistics: (1) Although those under 25 years of age comprise only 18.4 per cent of all licensed drivers, they are involved in about 28 per cent of all highway accidents and more than 28 per cent of fatal accidents. (2) Almost every traffic collision involves at least one law violation. (3) You can't stop your car on a dime. Actually, a car traveling at 40 mph needs a braking distance of 125 feet, at 50 mph a distance of 133 feet is required, and at 60 mph, the stopping distance is 272 feet. (4) Falling asleep at the wheel is the cause of an increasing number of traffic accidents. A factor is the spread of monotonous, high-speed expressways. Together with these, we might also point out a few winter warnings to drivers. Night falls earlier now and night driving makes special demands on the eyes. Carbon monoxide from your car engine is a sneaky, deadly poison. Always have plenty of fresh air in your car. Above all, keep in mind the rules of safe driving. Drive with caution, care, consideration, and courtesy. Allow yourself plenty of time to get to your destination and then get there, alive. FROM THE FRONT ROW Opening Performance of Campus .Group's "Blithe Spirit" Reviewed by· Dr. William Edgerton Weeks of frantic between-classes rehearsal turned into funny lively comedy last night in Chase Theater, when the Cue and Curtain Players staged Noel Coward's "Blithe Spirit". A convulsed audience respond ed gratefull y to live actors in place of TV shadows and called back for repeated curtain calls a student cast who brought to life Britain's witty playwright's wild farce based on the situation of a husband being confronted with both his live wife and a dead wife's ghost until they both disappear "over there". Marc Hirschman, a sophomore from Cedarhurst, N.Y., was the •husband; Ruth Friedlander, sophomore from New York City, was his live wife, and Sieglinde Vallot, freshman from Closter, N.J., was the "Blithe Spirit" , his dead wife's ghost. Dolores Amir, a junior from Bronx, N .Y., was lV1adame Arcati, the dotty spiritualist with the schoolgirl vocabulary. Harvey Stambler, a senior from Lakewood, N .J ., played the Colonel Blimpish Doctor Bradman, and Joan .Pitney, sophomore, Springfield, N.J., his catty wife. Meanwhile, lumbering through the play "on the double" was Edith, the hopeless maid, played by Marsha Hochberg, a sophomore from Tea. neck, N.J. The play, one of Coward's lightest and r unniest, tells the story of a wife coming back from the spirit world during a seance to haunt distractingly a husband who has meanwhile happily remarried. This improbable plat makes a crazy kind of sense as Coward writes it, and high-spirited acting and expert direction, by Alfred S. Groh, Wilkes College drama director, transport the audience into a more-than-willing suspension of disbelief. Backstage a large crew of student production workers labored smoothly through a difficult and carefully timed program to help the actors on the stage create a scene where the antics of ghosts and poltergeists in an English drawing room seemed, if not possible, at least, while the play was progressing, somehow probable. The fa st laconicisms of Coward's line ("Do you see anything interesting in The Times this morning?" "Don't be silly.") and the contrasts between ultra-sophisticated, articulate characters and their opposites demand perfect timing, for the lines, funny as they are, do not play themselves. Even a door opening and shutting has to be perfectly timed. The stage contains for a minute only the "blithe spirit". She is suddenly pursued by the invisible spirit of th e second wife. Out the door fli es the ghost and the door slams behind her. Then the door opens and shuts again as the invisible wife hurries after in pursuit, and as the curtain goes down the audience reponds delightedly to a funny situation which, oddly enough, contains not a whisper of a voice. The door scene reminds the audience that not only was there competent acting and expert direction to make the flight of the blithe spirit believable, but also perfect (continued on page 4) Letters to the Editor · ·,· Dear Editor: The time has come for the general Liberal Arts students of Wilkes College to stop being required to subsidize other Wilkes students, including all students working toward a Bachelor of Science degree. I am referring, of course, to the glaring disparity in the numb er of semester hours permitted to students in the various curricula, with the Bachelor of Arts major running low man. In this respect, the 1961-1962 Bulletin is both illuminating and perplexing. Physics majors are allowed 141 credit hours; Chemistry majors, 140 hours; Secondary Education majors, 138 hours; Accounting majors, 135 hours; majors in Biology or Music Education, 132 hours; Mathematics majors, 131 hours; majors in Business Admin istration, Retailing, Secretarial Studies, or Business Education, 129 hours; Fine Arts Education majors, 128 hours; Elementary Education majors, 127 hours; Music majors, 125 hours; Liberal Arts majors, only 123 hours. In his junior and senior years, a Chemistry major may take 72 credit hours; a Physics major, 71 hours; a Secondary Education major, 70 hours; an Accounting major, 69 hours; a major in Biology or Mathematics, 68 hours; a Business Administration m a j or, 66 hours; a major in Retailing, Secretarial Studies, or Business Education, 65 hours; a Fine Arts Education major, 64 hours; a major in Music, Elementary Education, or Music Education, 63 hours; a Bachelor of Arts major, only 60 hours. Thus, in his last two years, an additional three hundred dollars in order to take the same number of hours a Chemistry major is allowed for the flat tuition rate. Is this fair? Undoubtedly, many a Liberal Arts student would like to take an extra course or two in his junior or senior year, but he is reluctant to do so because of the additional expense involved. If anyone has a reasonable explanation for the discrimination against Liberal Arts students, I would like to read it in this column in the next issue of the Beacon. If not, Liberal Arts students of Wilkes, arise! You have nothing to lose but knowledge! A Liberal Arts Student (name withheld upon request) Dean's Lisi Student Believes In Hard Work and Social Activities by Jerry Shilanski She has been a Dean's Lis student for five semesters, recipient of the Linda B. Morris Award, and probably has the highest average of any student in the business education department. With all these accomplishments to her credit, the fact remains that Ann Znaniecki was undoubtedly the last person to decide to enroll at Wilkes in September, 1958. Ann spent three days in nurses training at the Nesbitt Memorial H9spital that fall before she discovered that nursing wasn't for hlfr.

To the Editor: The recent testimonial dinner to Dr. Farley illustrates quite clearly the important part cooperation plays in making such a project successful. Althoug h the testimonial was sponsored by the Community, were it not for the splendid school spirit exemplified by the various student organizations, the dinner would have fallen far short of its goal.

WHAT - WHERE WHEN - Although this charming senior coed had never had any commercial courses at Nanticoke High School, where she won three academic awards in addition to being chosen valedictorian of her graduating class, she elected business education as her college major. In a relatively short time her skill in shorthand and typing had increased to 130 and 60 words per minute respectively, and she has taken enough courses in English and history to give her a minor in both fields. She was recently named to Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities, she has been a member of the Economics Club, and she is presently a member of the Education Club. Ann plans to do h er student teaching next semester. Ann's future includes teaching, possible graduate study, and definitely marriage. She is engaged to Walter Grzymski, a former engineering major at Wilkes, who will receive h is degree in electrical engineering from Penn State this spring. The tentative date for the wedding is August, 1962. In response to the question, "What do you think of Wilkes?" Ann replied, "I like it. I have no complaints and I would choose it again over a larger school. H ere, a student can g et more personal attention and the small classes are conducive to direct questions and answers." Commenting on the campus social life Ann suggested that the commuting and the dormitory students should get together for more social affairs. "Maybe it's the fault of the commuting students who don't care to come back to the college once they go home; I feel that students should not devote all their time to studies. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," she offered as a bit of advice. Ann was employed last summer as a playground instructor by the Nanticoke School District. She has also worked as a secretary for the Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hipolit Znaniecki of 696 East Main Street, Nanticoke, P ennsylvania. Small College Will Enable Students to Relate Ideas To be required of all seniors with a background of Western Civilization, the new "capstone" course at Alma College was developed this past summer in a faculty workshop. This completes the plans of the new curriculum which were to include Western Civilization and a senior course of some kind to fill the additional religion requirement. Varied in method of teaching and material covered, the course is titled "Man and the Modern World-The Examined Life", and has as its purpose to confront the student with the ideal which directs and integrates a Christian liberal arts education. In examining this ideal, the student will first consider wholenes. or oneness as a property of truth and wisdom. This will involve a consideration of the pre-suppositions, implications and current developments in scientific and humanistic studies. A second part of the ideal to be dealt with will be the concept of the nature of an education as a trust involving a responsibility of participation in and contribution to society. �Friday, November 17, 1961 3 WILKES COLLF.GE BEACON Gridders Face Crusader TD Machine Six Seniors Finish Grid Careers Against Highly-Rated Crusaders Tomorrow Night al Selinsgrove ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Eller Named All-East For Outstanding Play tColonels Look for Second Win Against Undefeated Susquehanna Football fans are quick to praise a poised quarterback, a speedy Tomorrow when the Colonel gridders travel down-river to meet the halfback, a bruising fullback, or a Crusaders of Susquehanna University in the final game of the current sticky-fingered end.

Tom has done a more than adequate job performing as fullback as he leads the team in rushing. A 5'10", 170-pound Plymouth resident, he is completing his fourth year of varsity football. H is play in the defensive backfield has been praised throughout his collegiate career. Tom, a co-captain, should be ready to return to the lineup tomorrow after a one-week absence due to an injury sustained in the Dickinson game. RICK REES A former Marine, Rick has been a steady performer during his four-year duty with the Colonels. The 5'9", 175-pound Secondary Education major is listed as the shortest end in the conference, but his determined play has made up for this lack of height.

Are you holding up the bottom on that bio curve? Or are those pink slips making your home a battle scene from War and Peace? If so, then break out of that rut, son! Be the first on your block to commit hara-kiri. Then you can do what all the coolest ghosts in town are doing, and float over to Cue and Curtain's newest and zaniest production, "Blithe Spirit", playing at Chase 'T heater from November 15 t hrough 18. Written by Noel Coward, that smooth man with a style, this play is guaranteed to keep you ghastly souls grinning. Described by the N ew York Journal-American as "-brilliantly clever and about as cockeyed as a play can be and still stay on the stage", it presents the notion of a man happily married to his second wife who is suddenly confronted by the ghost of his first wife. The ghost calmly announces that she intends to live with the couple indefinitely and proceeds to do so. This is the starting point for a series of some of the funniest episodes ever written into a play. Mark Hirschman, Ruth Friedla:nder and Sieglinde Vallot head the cast of Cue and Curtain players who are now in their final stage of rehearsals under the direction of Al Groh. Some fanciful phantoms are passing the word that this is going to be better than the averagetype play, so if you're an astute apparition you'll make the scene, dad. You'll have the time of your death if you do. Cast in supporting roles are Dolores Amir, Elaine Adams, Joan Pitney, and Harvey Stambler. Assisting in the production will be Jerry Herman, stage manager; Romelle Gomba, costumes; Warren Harmen, sound and lighting; Robert Schecter, publicity; Barbara Gallagher, make-up; Ellen Sunde!, properties and furniture . Assisting Mr. Groh is Barry Gintel and David Fendrick is Assistant Di;ector. Andrew Palen car is Art Director with Jerry Herman and Emily Weinberg handling special effects. The cast and production crew would like to express their appreciation to William J ervi~ and the maintenance crew for their cooperation. Admission is free and the play will open next Wednesday at 8 :30 p .m. in Chase Theater. Other performances will be held on Thursday and Saturday of next week.

Stark A broad variety of interests and backgrounds is the chief characteristic of the principcd speakers for the testimonial dinner honoring Dr. Farley, Wilkes College President, tomorrow evening. These men represent careers ranging from financial counselor of a philanthropic institution to Norwegian educator and author of a German grammar textbook. Jesse Ghoper, an alumnus of Wilkes College and present assistant professor of law at the University of Minnesota, will act as toastmaster· for the affair. Choper, who garnered many honors while at Wilkes, was a member of the Wilkes debating team that won the Harvard Tournament and the Pennsylvania State Tournament in- 1957. At this time he ranked third in the counry. Since he left Wilkes in 1957, Choper has led an active and varied life culminating last year in his appointment as law clerk to Chief Justice Earl Waqen. Besides membership in the Order of Coif - a legal honor society whose members are the top 10 % of the law graduates of certain schools, he holds membership in the bars of the U.S. District Court for District of Columbia and the U.S. Court of Appeals for District of Columbia Circuit Court. United Fund Campaign Falls Short of Goal; Trophy Winners Named The United Fund campaign on campus fell short of its goal for 1961. Lou Coopey, chairman of the drive, announced that the students missed the goal by $83.58. Two-thirds of the money was donated during the last week of the campaign. Trophies have been awarded to the winner in each of the three divisions of the campaign. The freshman class captured the trophy for Division A by contributing the most money per member. The freshman class also contributed the proceeds of the United Fund Dance. Louis Matioli, chairman of the dance, said that the dance raised a total of $150.40 for the campus campaign. Dr. K. Roald Bergethon Jesse Choper Krasa Named Chairman at First Court of Appeals Meeting Division B trophies were granted to men and women's dormitories which contributed the most money to the campaign.

Dr. Bergethon attended grammanichools and high scho'ol in Brooklyn but · returned to Tromso to complete his secondary €ducation . at the "Hoiere Almenskole". Puring World War II while working on .the constructio~ of military installations and manufa cturing plants required for war efforts, -he received a citation for meritoriou's civilian service from the U.S. Navy. In 1953, while ass socfate dean at Brown University, he. was awarded a Carnegie Corpor·a tion travel grant which enabled him fo observe undergraduate educational programs at more than twenty colleges and universities throug hout the nation. Author of Grammar for Reading German and a bibliography of Norwegian literature, Bergethon also contributes book reviews and articles concerning the teaching of German and education administration to professional journals. Arnaud C. Marts has a special interest in Wilkes College. Buck_nell University had fostered a junior college in Wilkes-Barre and Marts who served as president of Bucknell University from 1935 to 1945 inherited the problem of fo rmulating permanent plans for t his center of learning. Since he devot ed so much time and energy to this problem, he naturally is interested in progress and development of Wilkes. Marts, financial counselor for Marts and Lundy, Inc., philanthropic institution in New York, has had experience in the fields of education, business, _politics, civic service, and writing. In his capacity as an author, he has written two books, Philanthropy's Role in Civilization and Man's Concern for His Fellow Man: Chairman of the Boar d of Trustees of Wilkes College, Admiral Harold R. Stark, USN retired, will represent that body on Saturday even ing. Admiral Stark, now residing in Washington, D.C., is a former commander of the European fleet during World War II and a fo rmer chief of naval operations in the U.S. Navy. That his services were valuable is evidenced by the fact that he was kept on duty beyond retirement age at the re quest (continued on page 6) �wn.n:s 2 Friday, November 10, 1961 COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIALS- STUDENT SKETCH United Fund Drive Successful The campus United Fund campaign which concluded last Friday realized a total contribution of $1,116.25. Although the goal of $1,200 was not reached, the drive was successful. The various members of the administration, faculty, and student body who exerted a great deal of time and effort in making solicitations are to be congratulated. The showing made by Wilkes is a credit to all connected with the college. As a community college, the impression created by Wilkes is important and each student should take a deep sense of pride in this impression. The spirit of Wilkes students was manifested in the fact that approximately two-thirds of the goal was reached during the last week of the drive. This last-minute turnout proves the ability of Wilkes students to accomplish tasks placed before them. Once again, thanks and congratulations to those who conducted the drive and to all who participated. Suggestions Needed The deadline for suggestions for a Senior Class gift to the college is drawing near and as of this issue only a few suggestions have been received. The class has approximately $1400 in its memorial fund to be used in the purchase of a gift and all students are urged to submit any useful ideas to one of the members of the gift committee or in one of the suggestion boxes. Gifts made by classes in recent years have enhanced the beauty of the college as well as provided useful items which the college would not ordinarily purchase. Each year, the Item selected for purchase has been the result of a great deal of thought and this year should be no exception. The expanding nature of the college provides a wealth of ideas in itself. As we look forward to greater things, the contribution which any one. particular group can give to the college must not be overlooked. Your cooperation is needed. Any suggestion which you may have will be carefully considered by the class gift committee. Help them in this endeavor and by so doing, have a part in the growth of the college.

Since the yearbook is free, the $1.00 fee necessary for the picture is a worthwhile investment. Thus far only the sophomores have the required amount of people signed for the pictures. Editor Harry Collier has announced that progress on the Amnicola has been slow because of the delay concerning the insufficient number of students signing to have their pictures taken. Thanksgiving is the deadline for senior pictures, and the following week is the deadline for senior pictures, and the following week is the deadline for dormitory pictures. Do Your Holiday Shop-lifting Early! by Roz Deretchin At the last meeting of the Jaycees Paul Heagy was voted in as a new member under a new admission policy. Usually one has to be a Junior or a Senior, but Heagy, who is 25 and a former member of the York Jaycees, was admitted by the group. As part of their program of informing the public of important events taking place, the Jaycees, acting under chairman Don Mattey, last week sent letters to all seniors over 21 and to all veterans urging them to vote. They also placed posters around th~ campus reminding the people of Election Day. During the weekend of October 21-22, Russ Singer attended the Jaycees State Board meeting. Singer urged the State Convention representatives to consider WilkesBarre as the sight of the 1963 convention.

Letters to the Editor · · • Peter To the Student Body: I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank all those who helped me in organizing and running the United Fund campaign on campus. E veryone involved, from heads of c o m m i t t e e s to the individual workers, devoted a great deal of time to help make the campaign a success. In addition, I would also like to t hank those students who donated to the United Fund during the campaign. Sincerely yours, Lou Coopey * * * To the Student Body: On Monday, October 23, 1961, a student driving a 1955 blue Ford, accidentally drove over a violin belonging to a high school student in the Gies Hall parking lot.

Every girl is at heart a show stopper - at least to an audience of one, so if you're a girl with L.P. (Losts of Parties) on her calendar you'll be wild about those newest neons for night, Limelight and Whitelight, the showstopping colors of the season. Limelight, a yellow-lit green, is aglow in mohair, chiffon and satin. Whitelight is lit with glitter in beaded overblouse dresses and in the Great White Coat, Mademoiselle's choice for wrapping up Limelight dresses. Part-time silhouettes come in several profiles. Some shapes fall straight, others have skirts that move out. Some waistlines skip a beat, others take their natural line. Don't be surprised to find new combinations in texture, such as a chiffon skirt fluttering out from a mohair over-blouse. You can see all these great high voltage fashions in the November issue of Mademoiselle, and at our holiday party fashion show coming soon. Contest If you have considered entering the Mademoiselle College Board Contest, here are a few suggestions. Report on some trend that you see coming in at Wilkes - in the arts, humor, clothes, attitudes, social customs, anything else (but politics - which was reported on in the August issue). Tell how you would change Wilkes if you could (2,000 words or more). Choose the five most interesting fabrics you can find, and design clothes to show three different ways each fabric can be used. For example : a sportswear set, cocktail dress, afternoon dress, et cetera. Design and write an informative booklet that a national advertiser might distribute to college students. Choose any subject matter for the booklet, but relate it to the advertiser's product. For additional suggestions, see the bulletin board by the Commons or the Mademoiselle Campus Representatives Nancy Tinklepaugh and Maryann Wilson.

The men from Butler Hall, Pete's home away from home, suggested that Pete's ability to build platforms stems from a •job he had a few summers ago when he was a carpenter's apprentice .

In answer t o what he would like to see done here on campus, Pete hop efully replied, "There needs to be more action taken by the entire student body. Too many people can criticize and talk a lot, but too few do anything productive." He suggested that t here be more communication between the student leaders and the student body.

Mud and Guts In last Saturday's game at the Athletic Field, the Blue and Gold was submerged in a sea of mud as the Red Devils of Dickin son turned in a 7-6 win .in the midst of a torrential, day-long deluge. There was plenty of courage shown on and off the field as the Colonels fa ced rugged playing con1:iitions, while 500 loyal fans stood · behind them and cheered · them on. The differ ence in the ball game came in the· second period when John Harper -split the uprights with a p lacement after the Dickinson touchdown. The TD followed the only sustain ed drive · of the game by eith er team. The rally was set up when back Jack Thomas intercepted a TravisBey pass on the Dickinson 48 and carried it an the way to the ·W ilkes 34. From here Dickinson quarterback DiOrio lugged the ball for five yards, Dick Warden got four, and Di Orio .three more for a first down on the Wilkes 22. After an in complete pass, Bob Harlowe carried to the 15 and then Reno DiOrio pulled off the n eatest play of the game. After faking a hand-off, the quarterback threw a bullet pass up the middle to end Joe Lipinski who grabbed it in the middle of the Wilkes defensive array and went straight to touchdown land untouched.

Address Zone City OUR ADVERTISERS State DATA PROCESSING PATRONIZE PB-16 �Colonelelles Down Misericordia; Judy Barger Scores Lone Goal Womanhood took a large stride ahead in its attempt to destroy the "legend of male superiority" last Friday as the Colonelette field hockey squad completed an undefeated season with an impressive 1-0 victory over the College Misericordia girls. This brought the season's record of the Wilkes coeds to a one win, two tie ending. The opening half action was rough-and-tumble with the defensive halfbacks of both teams playing great ball with effective ball hawking and blocking. Neither team could muster an effective offense until the closing minutes when the Colonelette passing brought the ball into scoring range. A pass from Janet Ainsworth to Judy Barger put the ball in front of the goal and Judy responded with a "bullet-like" shot at the goal. A Misericordia defender lunged at the ball with a desperation swing and got her stick in front of the ball. Instead of stopping, the ball ricocheted off the stick and into the net for the lone score of the afternoon. Both t eams threatened in the second half but the defensive secondaries were not to be crossed as the fullbacks of both squads thwarted any scoring attempts. Carol Rhin es registered her first shutout game of the season for the Colonelettes. The fullbacks, Carol Plonner and Regina Ritzie, shone with their aggressive play. The most outstanding performance of the afternoon was center-halfback Marilyn Davis. The freshman philosophy major played her usual effective game by continually stealing the ball from the Misericordia linemen as they attempted to cross into Wilkes territory. Wing halfbacks Heather Danuiel and Fran Gallagher aided the defensive play with their timely steal s and blocks. The line of Janet Ainsworth, Judy Barger, Jo Sigiorelli, Rose Hallet, and Mary Ann Vannoy looked very good with their pass patterns. The future looks bright for the Colonelettes as all of the girls are underclassmen, and gained the experience of learning to play togeth er as a team. Mrs. Saracino is looking forward to next year wh en the Colonelettes advance deeper into intercollegiate competition. ATTENTION FOOTBALL FANS!

The Engineers scored their intial goal in the second period as Lew Spiridellis headed t he ball into the net after a shot glanced off the goal post. Their second goal came early in the third quarter on an 18-yard shot by Ed Nidaasby. A pass by Frank Lepore and a left-footed boot by Clyde Rob erts accounted for the only Colonel tally in the fourth period. Wilkes threatened again late in the final period on shots by Walt Prusakowski and Rob erts. At the end of the game, Wilkes was hammering at the Stevens goal. A generally well-played match ' was marred only by the fact that both of the Stevens goals resulted from mixups in the injury-ridden Wilkes backfield. Dick Morgan and Bill Flynn, and the team as a unit, performed quite well against an experienced team which was comprised entirely of Europeans. Coach Ferris' soccer squad finished the season with a 3-7 log and were 3-5 in MAC competition. Colonel Bowlers Open Season with Victory Over Scranton Classics The Wilkes bowling team opened its season on a successful note last Sunday afternoon at Lispi Lanes. In a thrilling match the Colonel keglers defeated the bowlers of Scranton's Junior Classic League. Wilkes took a 43-pin lead after the first game on the strength of Jerry Zeller's 213, as the team hit 871 to Scranton's 828. Butch Garber led Scranton with a 220 in the first game. After the second game, which was a reversal of the first, the Wilkesmen found themselves 28 pins behind. Scranton hit for 994 in the second game as compared to a respectable 923 for Wilkes. Three of the Scranton bowlers dropped more than 200 pins in this game, while Dave Sokira with 203 topped that mark for Wilkes.

Baiera . At the Student Government meeting Monday night vital issues were debated. Activity forms that were submitted to the Student Government by the Biology Club for a closed affair and the Economics Club for a field trip were not accepted. The Student Government felt that they had no jurisdiction over these affairs because of existing policies from last year. Under reports of the standing committees, the Budget committee r~port was giv:en _on the_ "Near Bier Brawl." sponsored by the Catlin-Gore dorm1tones towght. A moion was passed to give .these dormitories $20 each from the Dormitory Activity Fund so :that this affair would be free to all attending. In the future policies of this nature will be considered by the Policy committee. .· A motion proposed by Buddy Menaker and passed by the Student Government stated that the number ·o f v:otes received by each candidate in each election will be posted on the bulletin board as soon as they ·are known. This is a new policy instituted by the Student Government since past policies determined that only winners should be listed with no numerical results being shown. Under a special committee report on parking lots by Jeff Gallet, problems concerning Gies Hall parking lot were discussed. The Student Government resolved that the following be enacted: (1) that a system be set up in Gies Hall parking lot to park cars in set spaces; (2) that curbs will be lowered to eliminate the barriers; (3) that trees obstructing the movement of cars be removed; (4) that new parking lot stickers be issued on a rotating basis for car pools; and (5) that a new type of parking sticker that can be more easily removed be issued. Ed Rogalski, chairman of Dr. Farley's Day, reported that the presentation of the book containing the signatures of the students will be presented to him on Saturday, November 11, at 10:30 a.m. in front of his home at 146 South River Street.

For some reason, these people get a thrill from doing something wrong in order to see if they can avoid being caught. People such as this encourage a general disrespect for law and law enforcement. They can constitute a danger to society. More important, however, are the pepole who break the law and either don't realize they are doing so or what the consequences of their action can be. , The latter group can be just as courages, as strongly as possible, dangerous as the first.

No. 7 by David Stout A display of over 130 woodcuts by Stefan Mrozewski, one of the world's leading wood block engravers, will last until next Friday in the Polish Room of Parrish Hall. These prints have been loaned for display by the artist himself. Mrozewski has exhibited throughout Europe and America for more than 30 years and has won innumerable prizes and awards in over 15 countries. His works on display here cover a wide range of Polish lore and classical subjects. The majority are black and white, but there are several tinted works. Of them all, the artist's favorite is "Apocalipse." The furniture in the Polish Room◊ ------------was designed by Mrozewski and made by Stefan Hellersperk of Dallas, Pennsylvania. The exhibit is free and open to the students and the public from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. Mrozewski was born in 1894 in Poland and was educated there.

Dr. Vujica has spent the past school year in Asia as a Fulbright research scholar to Pakistan and will speak on some of his experiences there. Dr. Vujica feels that without much fanfare, without slogans, banners, or barricades, one of t he greatest revolutions in history is taking place in Asia right now because of the introduction of Western technology and science. Dr. Vujica will note in his speech some of the effects of that revolution on the physical and spiritual landscape of Asia. Novices See Debates At Lehigh Clinament by Julie Evans On October 28, Miss Lynne Dente and J erry Krasa, varsity members of the Debate Team, accompanied nine novice members to Lehigh University to participate in a program set up to acquaint novice debaters with the fundamentals of debating. In the morning, a panel of three debate coaches discussed debate strategy. Following the panel discussion, a debate t eam from Lehigh met a t eam from St. Joseph's College and gave a model debate on a national college debate topic. In the afternoon, a novice team from Wilkes, composed of Miss Pauline Bostjancic, Andy Majikas, John Campbell, and Miss Marguerite Gelli, participated in two rounds of debate. The observers were Norman Strojny, Miss Mary Ann Berger, Terry Lord, James Saunders, and William Holmes, who are novice debaters for Wilkes. Another order of business was the suggested changes of weekend hours for women dormitory students. The following suggestions will be presented to the Administrative Council: for all big weekends such as Homecoming, Spring, and those having formal and semiformal dances, 1 a.m. on Friday, and 2 a.m. on Saturday; on r egular weekends, a 12 :30 a.m. curfew in place of midnight and a 1 :30 curfew in place of a 1 a.m. Student Government has listed several weekends in the college year which have no regular dances scheduled. These weekends are open to any dormitory or dormitories that would like to sponsor dormitory parties for all students. Tonight the I.D.C. is sponsoring a dance for the purpose of dancing. They have obtained the services of Jack Melton for dancing music, and plan to sell pizza plus the usual beverages. Prizes will be awarded to persons who best represent the theme of "Mad Hatter Hop". All who attend the dance are encouraged to wear their craziest chapeaux. Joseph Lipinski is general chairman of the dance and is assisted by Vicki Bershad, Merle Benish, Philip Seigel, Steve Pankan, and Linda Paonessa. Pete Greenberg will give a demonstration of picking up coke bottles at midnight.

STUDENT WEEKLY WILKES COIJ.EGE, WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA Internationally Noted Arlisl Presents Wood Cul Exhibition COLONELS AT HOME Coward's "Blithe Spirit" Rescheduled by Campus Theater Group by Mary DiGiuseppe Cue 'n' Curtain will produce "Blithe Spirit" by Noel Coward, in Chase Theater on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Novem ber 15, 16, 17, and 18. Alfred S. Groh is the director. Andrew Palencar and Jerry Herman will handle stage arrangements. Although Noel Coward is one of the most prolific writers in the history of th e English-speaking stage, and has to his credit a long line of stage successes, none has won a more enduring place for itself in the present-day theater as "Blithe Spirit". The play was revealed to New Yorkers in November, 1941, following a successful London run, at a time when Londoners were deep in the Second World War. Curiously, it was dashed off in a couple of weeks while Coward was resting from assignments entertaining British overseas troops. Impressed by the gallantry of the English people under the battering bombardment of the terrible air raids of that period, he decided to write a farce to help take their minds off their trouble. "Blithe Spirit" was the result. Since then, r evivals, summer stock productions, a very successful motion picture version, and innumerable amateur presentations have combined to make "Blithe Spirit" the greatest of many Noel Coward successes. The play, described by the New York Herald-Tribune on its first American showing as " ... a gay, bright and brilliant farce, filled with debonair laughter," recounts the riotous complications that ensue when the beautiful ghost of his departed wife arrives to share the home and affections of a sorelybeset writer who, until that time, had been living in bliss and harmony with his second wife. Playing the role made popular by Clifton Webb is Mark Hirschman as Charles Conrlomine. Opposite him is Ruth Friedlander as Ruth Condomine, in the role originated by Peggy Wood. Others in the cast include Siglinda Vallot as Elvira, Elaine Adams as Edith, Harvey Stambler as Dr. Bradman, Joan Pitney as Mrs. Brad man, and Dolores Amir as Madame Arcoti. Miss Vallot and Miss Adams are making their debut in "Blithe Spirit" as members of the Cue 'n' Curtain theater group. Art Club Trip Tomorrow Visits to the Cloisters, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum will highlight the New York trip tomorrow sponsored by the Art Club. The committee handling the trip, Bill Pucilowsky, Michael Stretanski, and Diane Schonfeld, has announced that the bus will leave at 5:30 tomorrow morning from Gies Hall. After spending the day both in central city and in outlying areas the group will depart at 11 p.m. for home. Although much of the available time will be consumed by visiting pre-scheduled locations, there will be some free time for those who want to explore on their own.

Chemistry Club Takes Solons' Dance Decision To Court of Appeals �2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIALS- Friday, November 3, 1961 LOCAL POLITICAL SCENE Freedom - and Responsibility One of the rules of journalistic procedure which must be adhered to by all publications is that of printing the truth. American newspapers in the past have found that the only true path to success is by way of presenting to the reader direct, honest, and objective truths and allowing him to form his own decisions. This is the democratic way and as Americans we have come to accept it as a part of our heritage. Accuracy is but one facet of honest reporting. Slanting the news to encourage the acceptance of a particular viewpoint, except in editorials, though not readily apparent to the average reader is opposed to the Amerian principle of freedom of the press. Along with the freedom to express one's opinion goes a responsibility to present the unbiased, objective facts to the reader. Until such time as newspaper publishers recognize this responsibility, they are not completely fulfilling their duty which is to present straight-forward news. Editorial comment has its place, but it must not supplant the presentation of the facts. Bridging the Gap Both dormitory and day students of this college are aware of constant attempt to "bridge the gap" between their groups. Individuals, campus organization and administration have tried to bring the halves of the college closer in interest and spirit! The fact remains - there are two halves. The dormitory and day students have separate problems, separate after-class environments, and different types of interest in the college. A satisfactory college life for both halves depends upon recognizing the separateness and dealing with it on that basis. No artificial bridges will do. Are we willing to work with this separateness? Can we accept the fact that there is a difference? The Inter-Dormitory Council is an example of an organization set up to deal with one half's management. It has worked effectively in this role for many years. There is a place on campus for a day student council. This organization is needed to release the Student Government from the burden of day student problems. An outright acceptance of our differences will clear the air, and reveal what we have in common. We study together, work together in extra-curricular activities, and support the college in every way we can. These feelings are not " bridging" any gap, but uniting us solidly as the student body of Wilkes College.

Able Candidates Seek Election As County Judgeship Race Ends The whole question of judicial competency is involved in the phrase in our state constitution that requires that judges be 'learned in the law', Embodied in this phrase, and generally in the overall concept, is the total evaluation of a man's background: social. legal and civic. For a judge to be "just", he must have more than a legal understanding of the laws he is constituted to interpret. He must be able to interpret these laws by combining in his determinations a realization of present-day human factors. Incumbent on the electorate is the duty to decide which judicial candidate is most representative of these qualifications. This year, the voters of Luzerne County must fill three vacancies on the county bench. In electing men to fill these posts, they must weigh the qualifications of the candidates before their consideration. DEMOCRAT Basically, the question foremost in the voter's mind should be which candidate is most deserving of his vote. The Democratic candidates for judgeships this year possess a good legal background to go with wide experience in their fields. The work of the Ornhans' Court is highly specialized, with it s jurisdi cti on having greatly expanded since its inception. Ther efore, the man who sits as Judge of the Orphans' Court must have a gr eat deal of experience in this type of work. Edward S. Lopatto Judge Edward S. Lopatto, the incumbent, possesses experience in the work of the Orphans' Court t hat dates back long before h e was appointed to the bench. In 1950, Lopatto was appointed first assistant clerk of the Orphans' Court and served in this capacity under his three predecessors. In 1959, he was elected Regist er of Wills, in which h e was actually the Clerk of the Orphans' Court. In 1956, he received the recommendation of the Luzerne County Law and Library Association to fill a va cancy on the Orphans' Court. This recommendation, the only one of its kind ever given by the county Bar Association, bore fruit this year. His higher education was received at the University of Pennsylvania ; he is the father of nine children; and he is very a ctive in community affairs. In addition to his duties on the Orphans' Court, he also serves as presiding judge of the co unty Juvenile Court. No less important than the election of an Orphan's Court judge is the election this fall of two judges to fill seat s on the Court of Common Pleas. Jacob Schiffman Judge Jacob Schiffman, also an incumbent, likewise has a broad edu cational background, as well as much experience in state and local affairs. He, too, went to the University of Pennsylvania, graduating from the Wharton School of Comm erce and Finance. H e later went on to law school at New York University. Schiffman has been active in private law pract ice sin ce his discharge from the Army in 1945. He has served as counsel to m any state bureaus and is active in the religious, social, and civic life of the community. Joseph G. Tomascik Although Attorney Joseph G. Tomascik is the only Democratic cand idate for judge this year who is not an incumbent, his background more than prepares him for the type of work he will do on the Court of Common P leas . His educational experience is varied; he is a member of t h e bar in P ennsylvania, the District of Columbia, and the United States Supreme Court, as well as in Luzerne Count y. Presently a state representative, Tomascik helped write some of the laws h e will be called upon to interpret on the bench. A former assistant professor of Government at a local college, a lecturer, and an instruct or in commercial law, he did work of a judicial nature when he served as a Workmen's Compensation Referee. In sum mary, the way a man t empers his knowledge with an under- REPUBLICAN The Rep ublican candidates for the Luzerne County bench possess a background in legal, social, and civic affairs to make a truly representative slate in the coming elect ion. Peter Paul Olszewski As a candidate for Judge of the Orphans' Court, Peter Paul Olszewski has a background that would fit well with the work h e will be doing on the bench. H e received his higher education at Lafayette College and St. John's University School of Law. A veteran of World War II, h e is entitled to practice law before the Luzern e County Courts, the Superior and Supreme Courts of Pennsylvania, and the Federal Court for the Middle District of P ennsylvania. He is also a practicing attorney before the Interstate Commerce Commission , the Internal Revenue Commission, and the Treasury Department. At the present time, he is Sol' citor for the city of Wilkes-Bar and maintains a private law prat tice in the city. He is a m emb,.,of many civic committees and is m ember of the Nationalities A visory Committee of the Republ · ca n National Committ ee. The Republican candidates fc, t he two vacancies on the Court c Common Pleas are equally qualific to sit as judges. Their backgrour is also varied in the social and civ life of t he community. Richard L. Bigelow Richard L. Bigelow possesses d g rees of AB, MA, and LLB fro Swarthmore, Pennsylvania Stat University, and Dickinson Scho. of Law. He is an able educator r well as a qualified lawyer. An instructor of political sciern and labor law at P ennsylvani State University's Hazleton can·. pus, he has also been an assistan, professor of political science ar. constitutional law at Dick in son co· lege.

Therefore, not only the way man is educated but the use '. which he puts that education · important in deciding a vacancy c. the bench. The voter should l sure that he selects men who w 'be truly representative. The R epublican candidates for judge in Luzerne County this year fill the criterion. standing of human problems is all important in the determination of who should sit on the bench. The Democratic candidates possess all three prerequisites n ecessary to act as eff ective members of the court. �Friday, November 3, 1961 WILKF.S COLLEGE BEACON Colonel Gridders Meet Dickinson In Season Home Finale Tomorrow After the first four games of the 1961 football campaign the charges of Coach Francis Pinkowski have yet to taste victory. Morale on the squad hit a new low. With a two week break between the Lycoming defeat and the Dickinson encounter Coach Pinkowski had the major task of rebuilding his squad both physically and mentally. The process seemed impossible but Coach Pinkowski kept at his job of rebuilding the confidence that had disappeared after the Lycoming rout and soon the fruits of his labor seemed to bud. The twenty-odd men who make up the Wilkes squad began to remold into a team. With the Red Devils of Dickinson College invading Colonelland for the last home game of the season, Coach Pinkowski reports, "We're r eady." With Dickinson comes the beginning of a new season for the Colonels. Tomorrow when the Colonels take to the field a n ew team will appear. Not a new team in personnel or attire but a new team in spirit. The Wilkesmen will be a solid unit of players fighting together for a victory.

VEDDY BRITISH Hockey Season Closes Today with Misericordia The Colonelettes will close out a brief schedule this afternoon at four when they host the College Misericordia girls in a return fi eld hockey story. The two t eams battled to a 1-1 draw in their initial m eeting two weeks ago and both squads will be out to prove their superiority in this match. The action will take place at the new hockey field which is situated across the Kirby Park road from the Athletic Field. The girls have made a fin e showing thus far in their initial dive into the field hockey wars of college coeds and should have a big crowd on hand to see them attempt to down the girls from Misericordia.

When the dust had settled on the grassless field the Colonelettes had scored a goal to tie the Hilltoppers, 1-1.

Tomorrow, when the soccermen of Coach Jim Ferris close out the season in a match with Stevens Institute of Technology, four seniors will wear the blue and gold of Wilkes for the final time. The contest, which will be held at Hoboken, New Jersey, will be the final outing for Frank Lepore, Clyde Roberts, George Tensa, and Ted Toluba. FRANK LEPORE Frank has been an outstanding lineman and t eam spirit leader for the past two seasons. From his wing position, the 5'8", 142-poud Commerce and Finance major, has sparked the team with his clever ball-handling and all-around offensive and defensive play.

Although they played when Wilkes soccer began its decline, the presence of any one of them in a contest made a notable difference in the team's play. The soccer team was presented with its fifth defeat of the year at Williamsport last Saturday as the Warriors of Lycoming College defeated the Colonels, 4-0, in a fast and som etimes raggedly-played contest. Lineman Joe Nucci starred for the Lycoming squad as he slammed home three tallies, one of them on a penalty kick. Ed Reyer scored the final Warrior goal. Fullback Chuck Weiss turned in an inspired performance for the Colonel eleven, making several outstanding defensive plays near the Wilkes goal. In general the team appeared to lack some of the hustle and spirit that it possessed earlier in the season. The fine Wilkes defense which performed so well previously, was found to have been weakened by the Lycoming team whose linemen moved the ball well throughout the match. Lose to East Stroudsburg This past Wednesday the team was defe ated for the sixth time in a match with East Stroudsburg State College, at the new athletic field. The Teachers fielded two fast, strong squads in a two-platoon system as they overpowered the Ferrismen, 4-0. East Stroudsburg rammed three quick goals into the net in the first quarter, striking before the Colnels' defense was set. This team has Jost but one match this season. That was a 2-1 loss to West Chester State College. Their opponents have scored only four goals against them this year. Early in the contest Wilkes lost the services of Clyde Roberts who sustained a deep gash over his right eye. Pete Eckert and Frank Lepore also were hobbled by knee injuries, and as a result the Colonels failed to mount a sustained offensive threat. In general, the Wilkesmen were outclassed by the smooth-running Stroudsburg machine, who took advantage of its depth in the bench. Constant substitution served to wear down the already tired Wilkesmen.

"Butterflies", as this phenomenon is commonly known, occurs quite prevalently among the education majors just before their big safari into the "Blackboard Jungles". Judith Ann Butchko was no exception to the rule this fall when she began her eight weeks of practice teaching at G.A.R. However, in Judy's case, it could have been "Fruit Flies" in the stomach rather than "Butterflies". What's the r eason for this unprecedented change ? Well, according to informed sources in Stark Hall, Judy, who is a senior biology major, has done a 'multiplying job' of breeding fruit flies for Dr. Reif 's genetics course. Af t er a complet ely unexpected experience, the first day of teaching Judy admitted that she was ·ready to quit. She explained that her cooperating t ea cher was absent and she was scheduled to take aver the class. "Things have changed since that first day," she emphasized. "Now I love being before a class - even the disection classes." Tea ching is the pr edominant fa ct or in Judy's fu t ure. She hopes to teach in New J er sey, near Philadelphia, next year, and som eday she would like to t each overseas, particularly in Hong Kong.

It r eveals what experts have learned about such problems as the a ctual effects of crime and violence in the media; how children are affect ed by adult programming; and the extent to which the media shape attitudes and opinions, create apathy, and " passivity". Last Man In by Scott Greer is a study of the power structure of unions. It seeks to explain race relations within labor unions not in t erms of the social or psychological aspects of "race", but through an analysis of the functional necessities of the union as an organization and the derived demands made upon the union leader. For tales of adventure and exploration one might try Man Against Nature by Charles Neider. A collection of true, eye-witness stories by the world's greatest explorers, pioneers, and adventurers, this book contains the classic and gripping accounts of men like Lindbergh, Wright, and Schweitzer forty-seven selections of danger and excitement. C. Sharp Cook's Modern Atomic and Nuclear Physics deals with atomic and nuclear structure and associated radiations, including discussions of r elativistic mechanics, quantum mechanics, solid state physics, and elementary particles. Over 200 problems, 149 illustrations, and numerous references complement the text material. An introductory critical r eport on Wordsworth as a poet and as a man may be found in F. W. Bateson's Wordsworth, a re-interpretation. Readers of this book will find here the great poet, at once more real and sympathetic - a man speaking to men - instead of the egocentric rhapsodist of the textbooks. Finally, those who are not quite sure of the modern meaning of education might try John Dewey : Dictionary of Education, edited by Ralph Winn.

She then introduc ed Sist er Mary Manus, RSM, who has an extensive art background and is the head of the art department at Misericordia. Sister Manus opened with the statement, "Art is the mastery of an idea that has found fulfillment in a ction," and proceeded to complain that too often advertisem ents are the main art work of a paper. She pointed out how a simple, clear, crisp sketch can draw a reader into the article above which it is drawn. The drawing should illustrate the main point of interest in the story. Sist er Manus also discussed the tre mendou s r eader interest in a cartoon and the pep and life that an eye-catching spot-drawing adds to a page. Following the lecture, refreshments wer e served and the students held informal discussions on the unique features of their own college newspaper. Book & Card Marl IO S. MAIN ST. WILKES-BARRE, PA.

STUDENT WEEKLY Vol. XXVI, No. 6 WILKES COLLEGE, WILKF.S-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA lnler-Pormilory Council Drive To Aid Foreig~ Student The Inter-Dormitory Council is sponsoring a clothing drive in connection with the Save the Children Federation. One of the facets of this organization is selecting needy children from abroad for sponsorship by individuals and organizations all over the world. From this federation, the I.D.C. received the name of Polyzoes O. Marrommatis, a child from Athens, Greece, whom they "adopted" last spring. "Zoes", as he is called for short, is the obj ect of this particular cldthing drive · which will be held for a two week period. This twelve year old boy can use clothes of any kind with particular emphasis on shoes, socks, shirts, and trousers. His sizes are: shoes, 6; socks, 9; shirt, 14; trouser waist, 24 inches; trouser length, 24 inches. The clothing will be collected at the Bookstore. Any other size of clothing will be forwarded to the federatfon for use by other children. Collecting the clothes now will insure its arrival at Athens before Christmas. School supplies are also acceptable. All members of the student body are inviJted to participate in this project. As for Zoes, a· future generation of Wilkes s'tudents will probably know him personally. Dr. Farley has agreed to award a full-tuition scholarship including room and board to Zoes when he reaches college age. Nancy Pala~zolo is chairman of the drive and is assisted by Carol Thomas. These coeds are ready to answer any questions on Zoes and his background. The !Il!ter-Dormitory Council has appointed a committee to develop a list of suggested changes in women's dormitory hours. This liSlt will be presented to the Administrative Council for approval at their November 7 meeting.

We must be constantly aware of the fact that we are Wilkes College students and will be recognized as such no matter where we may be. The reputation gained by the college is one which is developed not only by members of the administration or faculty, but also by members of the student body. The actions of a group of students are immediately attributed to the college and to the student body in general. For this reason, we must constantly be aware of our responsibiliy and conduct ourselves in a manner which will bring respect and dignity rather than contribute to a poor reputation for the college. We are all aware of the tremendous growth manifested by Wilkes since its comparatively recent beginning. We should also be aware that if this growth is to continue, we must maintain the high standard of conduct set by our predecessors. Another phase of our responsibility to the college may be titled our responsibility toward maintaining school spirit. Parallel to the academic growth of the college has been a growth in the area of student activities. If our activity program is to grow and to prosper, we must also realize our responsibility to our fellow students and to campus organizations. We should all be possessed with a sense of loyalty and obligation to the school which will encourage us to join in its activities. We should at least own a sense of loyalty which will not permit us to in any way oppose or threaten to defeat anything which is affiliated with our college. Remember, we are all recognized as Wilkes College students. The college is what we make it. Let's do our part to maintain the good reputation gained by it in the past. Dear Editor: The following is the text of a letter which I.D.C. received from St. Stanislaus Institute upon their receipt of 150 toys, donated by the Class of '65 during the orientation program. We as members of the I.D.C. would like to thank again the freshman class for donating these toys for such a worthwhile cause. Nancy Palazzolo J erry Berk "Your recent visit to Saint Stanislaus was indeed gratifying. Due to unavoidable circumstances, I failed to meet you; but, whenever you are in our area please stop in and I shall be happy to reciprocate. "The youngsters' joy far surpassed mine when they were presented with your varied selection of lovely toys, and you can't imagine how elated they were. "You can never fully realize, my dear friends, how much your thoughtfulness means to us here. Our burden is heavy - but it is consoling to know that we are not alone. Through the generosity of kind friends like you, the burden is surely minimized. "Only the Good Lord can reward this noble gesture on your part. Please be assured of a remembrance in our prayers. "In behalf of all the youngters our sincerest gratitude, and may God bless you - one and all! Sincerely yours in Christ, Rt. Rev. Msgr. Roman L. Gizara President and Director * * * Dear Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who gave of their time and effort to make this year's Homecoming and Bonfire a success. There were many students, too numerous to mention, who worked untiringly on decorations, the torchlight parade, the car caravan, and the bonfire arrangements. A special word of appreciation goes to a number of local citizens who generously donated their services to the college. In particular, I would like to thank the WilkesBarre Transit Company for providing their convertible bus for the car caravan; the 109th Field Artillery for the lights and power unit used at the bonfire; Nardy's Sound Service for the public address system; and the Wilkes-Barre Police, Fire, and Park Departments for their assistance and cooperation. Sincerely yours, Jerry Shilanski School Spirit Committee United Fund Help Needed At the conclusion of two weeks, · the student phase of the campus United Fund drive has still not reached its goal of $1200. The drive has been extended one more week to enable those who have been unable to give during the past two weeks to do so in the coming week. The individual class chairmen began making personal contacts several days ago and will continue this program through next week. All students are urged to respond to this effort and to aid those less fortunate. Student Government Lauded The quick thinking and fast action carried out by the Student Government members last Saturday evening at the Homecoming dinner-dance which that group sponsored was certainly a credit to that organization. Hampered by a series of setbacks in the program which had been established for the evening, the Student Government was still able to make that affair a success. The crowd which attended was exceptionally large and approximately one hundred persons were in attendance who had not purchased tickets in advance. This meant that the sponsoring group had to make last minute provision for these people. Dean George Ralston, Mr. Robert Morris, and the members of Student Government are to be commended for a job well done, despite the unforeseen obstacles in the path of success.

Repose is one of a woman's most attractive qualities. Not by any means to be confused with lack of animation. Some of the world's busiest women have repose. You can, if you eliminate erratic, nervous motion; a pounding or jerky walk; chairedge perching; rushing at projects, people, street crossings; a shrill, high voice; jewelry that jangles forcibly; h eels that clatter; clothes that need constant adjusting. Repose possessed is very fine for the possessor. She is not likely to have taut nerves or an uneasy digestion or searing headaches. She is not likely to be told by her doctor that she must relax. year. The exub erance and attendance at the bonfire on Friday night can be attributed to the efforts of Jerry Shilanski and the preparation of all campus organizations. The spirit at the game on Saturday showed that School Spirit, the cheerleaders, the band, the kickline, and the twirling squad had effectively represented Wilkes. The Undergraduate DinnerDance under the direction of Ed Rogalski was a huge success as was the Alumni Dance in the Dorian Room at the Host Motel. I would like to ext end a special thanks to Fred Smithson, Homecoming chairman, for the superb job in organizing the activities, and to Wayne Thomas and the Beacon staff for their warm s u p p o rt throughout the weekend. I was proud to play a part in Homecoming Weekend this year, and I will cherish the memory of it for many years to come. Sincerely, Leona A.

What the father of psychoanalysis might have said is presented in "Freud, Football and the Marching Virgins," a November Reader's Digest article by Thomas Hornsby Ferri!, Denver poet-editor-publicist. "Obviously," he writes, "football is a syndrome of religious rites symbolizing the struggle to preserve the egg of life through the rigors of impending winter. The rites begin at the autumnal equinox and culminate on the first day of the New Year with great festivals identified with bowls of plenty; the festivals are associated with fl owers such as roses, fruits such as oranges, farm crops such as cotton. and even sun worship and appease: ment of great reptiles such as alligators .. . "The egg of life is symbolizec by what is called 'the oval,' an inflated bladder. The convention i~ rep eated in the architectural ovalshaped design of the vast outdoor churches in which the services are held. . . . Literally millions attend .. .. in anticipation of violent masochism and sadism about to be enacted by a highly trained priesthood of young men .. . "The ceremony begins with colorful processions of musicians and semi-nude virgins who move in and out of ritualized patterns. This excites the worshippers to rise from their seats, shout frenzied poetry in unison and chant ecstatic anthems." Dr. Freud's only visit to the United States was to lecture at Clark University, Worcester, Mass., as part of the school's 20th anniversary celebration in September of 1909. He also visited New Haven, Boston, and Niagara Falls and saw New York's Chinatown, Central Park and Metropolitan Museum, but nobody took him to a football game. �Friday.

Mr. William Denion was speaking in his capacity as manager of the college cafeteria. Graduated from Penn State in 1951 with a B.S. in hotel and restaurant administration, Mr. Denion is beginning his fourth year here as cafeteria manager and head of a staff of seventeen full time and twenty student employees. It is interesting to note that he is not actually an employee of the college, but rather that he works for M. W. Wood, Inc., the catering service in Allentown which is hired by the college to manage its food service. Denion is responsible for the planning of both daily menus and special dinners. For last year's Christmas dinner, for example, he began one week in advance by purchasing the food and scheduling its preparation. H e plans on one and a half times normal consumption for such an affair, which means that at that Cornish game hen dinn er "everyone got a bird." Items that can be pre-prepared are started days in advance by the entire staff of cafeteria employees. One of the difficulties which food services for schools and industries face, as Denion said, is the fact that "we are always compared to mother." Obviously the food can never quite r each this ideal, yet if mother tried to do the job which he and his staff must do she would probably find it an impossible task. How, for instance, would she supervise the preparation of three hundred pounds of turkey for this year's Thanksgiving dinner? Prior to his coming to the college, Denion was manager of the Tavern Restaurant at State College for three years . He was assistant dir ector of restaurant operations for the Williamsburg Restoration of Williamsburg, Va. and food manager at Syracuse University. ............... , Let the studious ones take the grade, the rest of us will take the maids.
