Sharing the spotlight with our gracious Queen are Their Royal Highnesses, Rachel Altavilla and Carol Thomas. THE 1961 HOMECOMING QUEEN IS LEONA A. BAIERA. This announcement, which will bring tears of joy and moments of mixed emotion, to at least one happy senior coed, is the official word. There need be no more speculation. The Princesses will reign with Queen Leona Baiera throughout Homecoming.

Lee, as she is known to her friends , is a charming brown-haired beauty with flashing hazel eyes. A winning smile, a most pleasing personality, and an effervescent spirit are the virtues that characterize our attractive Homecoming Queen. A torchlight parade, a bonfire, and a car caravan are being planned by the School Spirit Committee in conjunction w i t h Homecoming Week end. The torch parade will leave Stark Hall tonight at 7 p.m. and will proceed to Kirby Park, site of the bonfire. The bonfire is slated to begin at 7 :30 p.m. J erry Shilanski, chairman of School Spirit, will act as master of ceremonies at the Bonfire. In this capacity, he will introduce the Homecoming queen and her attendants, the football and soccer teams, the cheerleaders, Kickline, Majorettes, the Collegians, and the Wilkes Colonel, Don Ungemah. Shilanski has announced that a surprise will be unveiled at the bonfire. A sound unit, courtesy of N ardy's and lighting from the 109th Field Artillery unit will also be in use at the bonfire. The car caravan to the Lycoming game will leave from the Chase Hall parking lot on Saturday at 1 p.m. The Homecoming queen and her attendants and Dr. Eugene S.

Queen Lee and her court will reign over all the a ctivities planned for the Fourteenth Annual Homecoming. Her regal role begins with the publication of this article; perhaps you will know the answer to t he big secret even before her royal highness sees the Beacon. A senior class gift committee under the chairmanship of Mary Ann Foley was selected at a r ecent meeting of the class executive council. The committee is requesting that all suggestions for a class m emorial gift be placed in one of the suggestion boxes which will be located at strategic points on campus starting Monday. The class memorial fund will contain an estimated $1400 at the close of the academic year and students are asked to keep this in mind. Deadline for suggestions is Dec. 1. Committee members assisting Miss Foley are Dave Edwards, Mimi VasKorlis, Louise Gatto, Marion Ripple, and Wayne Thomas. Queen Lee, who came to Wilkes as a freshman in 1958, has been an active participant in various extracurricular activities. She is presently serving as a Student Government representative for t he class of '62.

During her senior year she was chosen Valentine Queen. She will make her first public ap pearan ce tonight in the Torchlig ht Parade to the Bonfire and P ep Rally, where she will be formally introduced to the student body. �2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITOlUALS- The Changing Campus Scene The alumni returning to campus this weekend are seeing two new additions in the form of recently acquired buildings. Howarth Hall, a women's dormitory on South Franklin Street and Bennett Hall, a men's dormitory on South River Street were opened to students at the beginning of this semester. Many changes have altered the appearance of the college since its founding. Many of these changes h ave taken place in the last several years and have been occuring at a rapid rate. The expansion shown by the college is seen not only in the acquisition of new buildings, but may be seen also in the enlargement of its staff, the addition of new courses, and the many intangible things which help to make a college great. Returning alumni are urged this w eekend to tour the campus. More than this, however, they are asked not merely to look at the many worthwhile displays, but also to observe the m a n y improvements which have brightened the college outlook during the past year. We as members of the Wilkes College student body and as alumni must be thankful to all who have helped to bring this about. We can truly say as a college that we a re able "to look onward with courage and backward with pride." A Job Well Done th A reminder that the campus United Fund Drive is now under way and your support is needed is in order at this time. With one week behind us and one week remaining in which to reach the goal, all those who have not done so as yet are urged to make their contributions as soon as possible. Remember, the efforts of the campus chairmen and volunteer workers will all be in vain if each and every one of us does not do his share to help out. Help the college to reach its goal of $1200 in the comin g week. It was recently called to my at- t ention by a local political party headquarters that Wilkes College is the only college in Luzern e County which does not have a campus political party. At other colleges these political parties fun ction in co-ordination with the local political organizations in their area. The campus part ies sponsor rallies, solicit for the party, and engage in oth er useful and civic activities. It would be a worthwhile project and invaluable service to the college as well as the community, if the students at Wilkes would organize such groups. First of all, campus parties would acquaint the college student with the innerworkings of the American political parties. Secondly, it would make t he college student more aware of n ational and intern ational issues. Finally, campus parties would help to facilitate students in electing h onest and qualified officeholders. Thus, t his would make America a stron ger and better country. Anyone interested in campus parties sh ould atten d t h e meeting at 4 p.m. today in room 306 in Stark Hall.

WHAT - WHERE - WHEN - STUDENT SKETCH Letter to e F.ditor • · • Senior After weeks of waiting and preparation, Homecoming Weekend is at last upon us. The identity of this year's Homecoming Queen has been revealed, the decorations are in their final stages of construction, and the best part of the entire program lies just around the corner. Homecoming provides all of us with an excellent opportunity to greet old friends and to enjoy the social side of college life. Surely at this time, gratitude must be extended to all hose who have helped to bring about this weekend of activities. The many hours of planning and preparation put into the Homecoming by students, faculty, alumni, administration, and community volunteers alike typifies the spirit felt by these people for the college. To all of these goes our thanks for a job well TRES CHIC done. A Reminder Friday, October 20, 1961 Accounling Major Aclive In College and Community Affairs by J erome Krasa An old adage holds that to have a job well done, you should give it to a busy man. This is certainly true of Clyde Roberts, who in his years at Wilkes has been active in both college and community affairs. It is easy to see why Clyde, a remarkable personality and a sharp wit, has been able to successfully combine college work with the great many extracurricular activities in which he participates. He brings to his seemingly easy going ways a determination to get a job done once he starts it. One sign of the drive that makes Clyde seek perfection is his present position as president of t h e Wilkes Chapter of Jaycees. In addit ion , he is t h e treasurer and a charter member of t he Accounting Club. A lover of sports, Clyde is playing soccer for the fourth year at Wilkes, presently at the center for ward posit ion. He commented that he had never played soccer before coming to W ilkes and t hat h e found the sport great. He has been a Letterman for the past two years. Active in community affairs, h e is superintendent of the F irst Welsh Presbyterian Sunday School in Edwardsville. His love of sports also carries over into his activities in the community. For the past two years, he has been a member of the Wyoming Valley Banker s' Bowling League.

Tomalis Econ Club Head His past work experience is varied. For the past two summers, he has worked as a nigh t auditor at Bushkill Falls. Demonstrating that he can put his knowledge to practical application, Clyde is presently a lab instructor in the Accounting Department. He noted that the Acco unting Department at Wilkes is very good. At the regular meeting of the Economics Club h eld t his past Tuesday, Tom Tomalis, junior business major, was elected to the post of vice-president, a position which was left vacant by t he resignation of the former vice-president. It has been announced that the membership will be h eld open one more week, until the m eeting on Tuesday, October 24. This will be a very important meeting sin ce details of the forthcoming field trip will be di scussed. Flyers concerning further details will be distr ibuted. In talking about Wilkes in general, Clyde pointed out that t he college was providing a great service for, not only him and his fellow students, but the community as a whole. "Wilkes is right for the community," he added.

The profit realized from the freshmansponsored dance held last Friday evening in the gym was $145. Lou Coopey, head of the student drive, states that he has received only a little over $100 from the students. As can be seen from the above figures, support for the drive seems to be lacking among students. The $1200 student goal may still be asily achieved if each student will spare one dollar as requested. The money collected will be used to sustain fifty-two health and welfare agencies throughout the Valley. Dr. Charles Reif, campus chairman of the drive, has announced that as of Tuesday morning approximately $4500 has been collected from faculty members, the administration, and the mainteance staff. In the week ahead representatives of each class will contact by phone all those who have not already contributed. Chairmen of these solicitations include Jerry Krasa, senior class; Jeanette Bucholtz, junior class; Mimi Wilson, sop homore class; and Mike Mosteller, freshman class. Contributions of the dormitory students are being handled by Peter Greenberg, president of the InterDormitory Council, with the aid of the respective dorm president. This year's theme for the United Fund drive is "Be a people helper." Down-East University Scraps Tradition to Revitalize Education Durham, N.H. (LP.) - Entitled "The University and the Future", the 120-page report relea sed by a six-member Committee on Academic Programs and Teaching Methods at the University of New Hampshire highlights these conclusions: 1. The University may be obliged to abandon its traditional twosemester academic year in favor of a three-semester or quarterly calendar. Eith er system will require 12-month operation. 2. Undergraduate courses are too narrow in scope. Education should come in "larger packa ges" to eliminate duplication, small classes, and proliferation of courses. 3. Professional programs are too narrow. The report urges that every student from English major to electrical engineer should attend a required series of liberal arts courses and follow a mandatory "great books" program of outside reading. "Its unique feature ," says Dr. Allan A. Kuusisto, professor of Government, who chaired the committee's study, "is that it was faculty sponsored and faculty conducted. Similar studies have been conducted at other colleges, but in most cases the administration played the lion's role if not the exclusive role." The study was proposed by the Faculty Council and the University Sen ate Curriculum Committee. President Eldon L. J ohnson named six faculty members to the task. Three of the professors were relieved from their teaching duties; the others worked with the committee on a half-time basis. They were given a budget of $18,000 and the authority to call in outside consultants. The professors went to work with tape measures, questionnaires, and a cold eye for tradition. Their report gave low marks to the University's approach to liberal education, a goal they found to be overshadowed in all three colleges by an emphasis on professional undergraduate training. They urged that every student should take a year's work in English, history, science, social studies, and the humanities, in addition to a four-year independent reading program. "Remedial courses in English and mathematics should be gi ven in the summer prior to entrance," the report noted, and fa- Dr. and Mrs. Farley to Be Honored at AWS Affair Associated Women Students will sponsor a breakfast in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Farley on November 11 at 9 a.m. in Hotel Sterling. Tickets will be available to all students, faculty members, administrators, and office personnel of the college for two dollars. Cynthia Hagley, president pro tern of the organization, announced that the next meeting date is Tuesday at 12:15 in Pickering 203. At this time the group will examine the new women's lounge in Pickering, decide upon a constitution for the organization, and discuss future projects. Tickets for the breakfast will also be distributed to the membership. Discussion of Dr. Dorothy J . Lipp's interview will be held at this time. Dr. Lipp, Dean, Pennsylvania State University, held an informal information session with a committee of A.W.S. members when she was on campus r ecently. The constitution committee appointed at last year's special women's assembly, and the women who talked with Dr. Lipp, are urged to attend Tuesday's meeting. All coeds from every class are in vited to attend. Accountants List Speaker University of Delaware Parking Rules Sparked By Increased Enrollment Dean of _Stu~ents John E. Hocutt ofttl~e dUmversityfof Dthelawua:e ha_s ou me reasons or e mvers1ty's policies with respect to studentoperated motor vehicles. Beginning with the 1961-62 academic year, only commuters will be eligible to operate motor vehicles on campus and in the city. With greatly increased enrollments forecast for the next decade, land which the University now owns or will purchase must be used for academic buildings or dormitories. Recent bids submitted on parking areas and driveways call for an expenditure of approximately $235 per car accomodated. These figures include only grading and surfacing and do not include the much greater cost of the land itself or the building of high-rise parking fac ilities. "When funds for basic educational programs and faculty salaries already are so difficult to obtain, we believe it would be unwise, indeed, to invest such large amounts in parking lots," Dean Hocutt added. Many other colleges and universities, especially those in small communities, already have a policy similar to that which the University has initiated. Under the provisions of the Student Motor Vehicle Code, students who commute daily from their homes and who live at such distances from the campus that travel by automobile is necessary will be given priority. Special permits also will be made available by the Dean of Student's staff to resident students who have a physical disability which makes travel by automobile necessary. While these regulations have been enacted as a solution to financial and parking problems, there also are important educational advantages to be realized. As has been true on other campuses where automobiles have been restricted, academic performance has uniformly improved. Moreover, social, cultural, and intellectual programs, specially on weekends, have shown similar and not unrelated improvement. Studies at other universities have shown an inverse relationship between high academic performance and the operation of a motor vehicle on campus by undergraduate students. On Tuesday at 11 a.m. in Room 35 of Parrish Hall, Mr. Clerio P in, a graduat e of Scranton University and a Supervisory Auditor of the United States General Accounting Office, will speak to the Accounting Club and all interested persons.

Univ. of Washington to Meet Teacher Demand Under Foundation Grant An excellent program whose purpose is to increase the supply of t eachers in colleges and universities has been initiated by the University of Washington in cooperation with other institutions of higher education in the Pacific Northwest. The other schools participating in the program: Western, Central and Eastern Colleges of Education; Gonzaga University and Whitman College. The Cooperative Program of Education for College and University Teaching, as it is known, was made possible by a grant from the Ford Foundation, and seeks to encourage superior undergraduates in the participating institutions to proceed to graduate study in their chosen fields. Since the purpose of the program is to meet an increasing demand for college and university teachers, its emphasis is in the area of the Arts and Sciences, and in particular, in the fields of chemistry, English, history, languages, mathematics, and physics. However, exceptional students in other major fields will also be considered for selection. The program is designed to extend over a period of three years, commencing with the student's junior year and following through to the completion of the first year of graduate work at the University of Washington. Most of the students in the program would be able to earn a Master's degree by the end of their first year of graduate work. Each undergraduate selected for the program will be awarded a pre. graduate assistantship, and will work under the direction of a professor in his chosen field. The professor will use the services of the assistant in such a way that the work done is of positive assistance to the professor in the dis charge of his duties in teaching and research, and, at the same time, gives the assistant some instruction and experience in college and university activities. In addition, a pre-graduate counselor at each institution will advise the student concerning his general program of studies, while coordinators from the University of Washington representing each of the major departments involved in the program, will be available for consultation concerning the student's program as it relates to his plans for graduate study. The Warner Trio, specialists of vocal music, will provide special entertainment. The group is comprised of George Evancho, sophomore ; Ronald Borick, junior; and Robert King, senior. The group has appeared professionally in many local night spots. Art Club Sets Plans for New York Trip, Exhibits by Mary Frances Barone The Art Club has planned an overnight trip to New York on November 4 and 5. The members will see the Metropolitan Museum, Museum of Modern Art, and the Frick collection. The cost of the trip is ten dollars. A five dollar deposit is requested before October 28 and the balance is to be paid by October 28 to Michael Stretanski. There are still a few seats available and reservations can be made by contacting any member of the Art Club. The Art Club will hold its first demonstration of the year on Tuesday, October 24 at 12 :00 till 1 :00 p.m. at Conyngham Annex. There will be a discussion on materials, preparing the surface, and stretching paper. The demonstration will be given by Ed Kay, a senior art major. Long range plans are being made for the annual events, the Art Fair and the Artists and Models Ball. Four hundred people attended the Art Fair last year. Plans for the fair include some displays repeated from last year and new ideas are being worked on. The fair has been expanded to two days. The fair will be climaxed by the Artists and Models Ball which is a "costume only" affair with prizes. It is similar to the annual Artists and Models Ball of New York. At present, the Art Club is making a sign for the United Fund campaign. Mike Crush, a member of the group, is making a sign for Conyngham Annex for indentification purposes. In late November, the Club will show five films fr ee to all students. The subjects of the film are of a "How to" nature concerning arts and crafts. Bob Hrynkiw is in charge of the films. In this way the student will be able to acquire a sound liberal education, and at the same time, meet, well in advance, the specific requirements for admission to a graduate school. �4 WI.LKIS COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 29, 1961 Warriors Are Homecoming Opponents ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Tackle Brunza's Jarring Defense Earns Him "Beacon" Laurels This issue's Athlete of the Week award goes to James "Jungle Jim" Brunza, senior Secondary Education major.

This year the coeds will add a new chapter to the sports history of Wilkes College by fielding a field hockey squad. In past years the ' girls have been hampered by the lack of a sufficient playing field, but with the athletic plant becoming a reality a hockey field was set up. For the past three weeks the girls have been working out under the direction of their coach, Mrs. Doris Saracino. The team has been actively developing individual t echniques and skills while improving team play. An away clash with College Misericordia on Tuesday initiates the season for the Colonel coeds. Additional matches with G.A.R. and Misericordia will be staged throughout October. Headquarters for WILKES JACKETS Lettered LEWIS-DUNCAN SPORTS CENTER 11 E. Market St. - Wilkes-Barre - and Narrows Shopping Center Kmgaton - Edwardsville Colonels Meet Lycoming Tomorrow; Try for Initial Season Victory by Dale Jones Lycoming College will provide the competition for the football team in the 14th annual Homecoming program tomorrow afternoon. Kickoff time is listed for 2 p.m. at the Wilkes College Athletic Field. The Colonels will be out for their first win of the season in an effort to get themselves out of last place of the Northern Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference. Last weekend the Wilkesmen dropped their third · consecutive one-touchdown game when the Ursinus Bears thundered back for two last quarter scores for a 12-6 win. Last weekend the Warriors of Lycoming tied a fighting Drexel Tech squad, 6-6, and showed a crashing forward wall that kept the Dragon offense at bay for most of the afternoon. With the Colonels featuring a rock-like line, a great game of line play is expected. Of particular interest will be the duel between the Kingston ends. The Blue and Gold feature three former Huskies at the wing posts with Richard Rees, Larry Turel, and Rog er MacLaughlin, while the Warriors have Bill Ainsworth working from the right end slot. Ainsworth is a junior at the Williamsport college and has started as a wingman for the past three seasons. Another local product playing end for the Lycomingmen is Wes Evans, a freshman from Dallas, who will spell Ainsworth from time to time. Ursinus 12, Wilkes 6 Last S a t u r d a y the Colonels seemed on their way in ending the victory drought that has hung over them when a sophomore quarterback named Ray Emert unleashed an aerial barrage that sank the Colonel hopes. Both teams were scoreless until the final period. With Ursinus on their own five, Emert was hit by a vicious tackle by Jim Brunza and fumbled . Colonel guard J erry Mohn recovered the loose pigskin in the end zone for a Wilkes touchdown. With time running out and a Parents Day crowd screaming for a comeback the Bears took to the airlanes. Emert hit his ends with short button-hook passes to chew up yardage before throwing a 10-yard scoring pass to Dave Khor. The drive covered 73 yards. After the kickoff the Colonels fumbled the slippery ball and the Bears took possession on their own forty-five. Emert went into action again and once again sent the Bears into scoring land with a pass. In the two drives Emert hit on nine passes for a total of 98 yards. Once again the Colonels outrushed their opponents, 127 yards to 101, but the Colonels could only collect seven yards on passes. Penalty-wise the Colonels collected a whop ping 98 yards as compared to 15 against the home club. Tom Kri sule vicz was the top groundgainer for Wilkes, picking up 48 yards.

The Hofstra team app ears to have the same fine offense it displayed last year. The only common opponent of the Ferrismen and Hofstra thus far has been Wagner College, who lost to Hofstra, 6-0, and to t he Colonels, 3-0. Last Saturday the soccer team journeyed to Gettysburg, only to drop a hard-played 5-2 match to the Bullets in the rain and cold wind. The home team's offense was spearheaded by the combination of Taylor and Johnson. Taylor collected four assists and a 13core, as Johnson accounted for three tallies.

Again in this game, the Wilkes offense failed to materialize to any great extent, as difficulties arose in moving the ball past the eighteen yard circle. The defensive secondary, with a few notable exceptions, played its usual strong game. Rider 2, Wilkes 0 This past Wednesday, the soccer team lost to a fast, strong Rider College eleven, 2-0, in a well-played game. Rider goals were scored by Sam Farrante, in the first period, and Henry Glover, in the second. Farrante, a center halfback, played an excellent match against Coach Ferris' charges. He was nominated to t he All-American squad last year and should repeat this season. The game, which was played in favorable weather conditions for a change, saw the Wilkes eleven put forth a determined effort against the h ighly regarded Rider team. Fine play by the entire squad prevented the visitors from running up the score as they had in last year'.s contest. That game was a 14-0 humiliation of the Colonels. Frank Lepore, Chuck Weiss, and Tom Tomalis gained nominations to the ECAC All-East team as a result of their play in the Rider match. •*********************** TONY'S S.

Scholastic Merit Won By Butler, Chapman In Dormitory Contest United Fund Dance Kicks Off 1Dollar-A-Student Drive for $1200 T h e Inter-Dormitory Council, through President Peter Greenburg, recently announced the winners of the Academic Dormitory Trophies for the past spring semester. These trophies are rotating awards presented every semester to the Men's and Women's Dormitories which have achieved the highest scholastic average for the preceding semester. The George Elliot A ward for the Male Dormitory with the highest academic average for the semester was presented to Butler Hall. The Beryl Cole Award for the Female Dormitory with the highest average went to Chapman Hall. The awards have only been in existence since the Fall Semester of 1960 and Chapman Hall has received the award on both presentations. The name of the dormitory receiving the award is inscribed on the trophy and this trophy is displayed in the dormitory for the period held by it. Famous Piano Virtuoso Will Perform at Gym Wednesday Evening Adam Kapuscinski, outstanding piano virtuoso, will appear in Wilkes College Gymnasium on Wednesday evening, October 18, at eight o'clock. Kapuscinski was born in Poland in 1913. His study of music began at the age of six under the tutelage of Alexander Michalowski, a pupil of Franz Liszt. While a student at the Warsaw Conservatory in 1934, he was sent to Vienna by the Polish Government. There, he competed as a composer of Polish Ballet Music, in international competition; he won first prize. When the Germans entered Poland in 19S9, he was made prisoner and was interned in a Nazi concentration camp. Escaping, he fled into East Poland, which shortly afterward was occupied by the Russians. Together with other Polish artists, Kapuscinski was sent to the Soviet Union where he participated in concerts directed by the Soviet Concert Management. When Russia entered the conflict against Germany, he enlisted in the Polish Army. When this army proceeded to Iran, Kapuscinski gave many conce1·ts for the Allied Armed Forces. As the army moved into Italy, he remained, at the Court's insistence, as music teacher to the Imperial Family, and, a ft er hostilities cased, he became an Iranian citizen and taught at Teheran Conservatory. While there, he was awarded the Homayoun Medal, the highest award g iven by the Shah. Kapuscinski came to the United States in August, 1960, encouraged by Arthur Rubinstein whom he had met while in Paris. He has played in New York at Town Hall in 1960 and again in 1961. He has been acclaimed by music critics in London, Paris, Amsterdam, Milan, Oslo, and Geneva as a pianist who "shows complete technical mastership and deep understanding." by Barbara Lore The United Fund Dance, sponsored by the freshman class tonight in the gymnasium, will launch this year's student United Fund campaign on campus. Lou Mattioli is general chairman of the affair featuring Bobby Baird and his band, providing both regular dance music and a special jam session. Both Lou Coopey, head of the student drive, and Dr. Charles B. Reif, over-all chairman, express confidence that the student goal of approximately $1200, or one dollar per student, can be easily attained. Dr. Reif recalls that in the past student contributions have reached the $2,000 mark, therefore, he believes that with a spirited effort by the student body, this year's goal can be easily surpassed. To facilitate solicitations, the student body has been divided into three categories, namely: Division A, all commuting students; Division B, all dormitory students; Division C, campus organizations. Because of the large number of students included in Division A, the solicitations will be handled on the basis of two one-week periods. During the first week, beginning tonight and ending next Friday, all contributions will be on an informal basis. At the kickoff dance tonight, a table will be set up as a collecting area, where day students can deposit their dollars. For the rest of this week, collecting stations will be at the Commons. This general solicitation will end next Friday at the compulsory class meetings. During the second week, Saturday, October 20 to Friday, October 27, the solicitations will be conducted differently.

Once again, Wilkes students are being called upon to contribute to the only charity which solicits funds here on campusthe United Fund. A goal of $1200 has been established, a goal which can be met if each individual student contributes just one dollar. Considering the many agencies served by the United Fund and the small sum required of each of us to maintain these services, we as students should take advantage of this opportunity to aid our fellow man. We should also feel a deep pride in contributing through the college, for by so doing, we are also demonstrating to the community our willingness to help in this effort. No doubt there are many students who, in addition to meeting with the campus solicitation, are also asked to contribute at their place of part-time employment. This is understandable, and in his instance, some reason exists for the individual's lack of participation in the campus drive. These individuals must not forget, however, their obligation to their college and some effort should be made here to divide the contribution between the college and the place of employment. Once again, we urge you to share our blessings. Do your part to meet the campus United Fund goal. A Poor Showing Upon scanning the college bulletin board this past week, we were alarmed at the notice declaring the results of the recent ca mpus election. No doubt, those who were elected are worthy of the positions which they are about to fill, as are most of the candidates in such an election. The portion of the· announcement which was most startling was that part which stated the total number of students who actually participated by casting a ballot. Statitstics show that a general feeling of indifference and lack of concern reigned over the student body. These statistics are as follows: sophomore class membersip, 304, those who voted, 102; junior class, 243 members, 101 voting; senior class, membership 212, participants in the election, 59. In terms of percentage, 33 % of the sophomore class voted, 41 % of the junior class turned out, and less than 30 % of the senior class stopped at the polls. The evidence is clear that most students show little concern for the affairs of their class, and in many cases, attend only the compulsory class meetings with little regard for what happens between such meetings. It is time that we began to realize the importance of our obligation to our class and to our fellow students. We as members of a class should have a desire to know what our class is doing as a unit and to have a part in helping it to accomplish its objectives.

Femininity Accentuated By Paris This Fall I WHAT - WHERE - WHEN - �WIUES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 13, 1961 Nurses Take Science Courses To Supplemenl Hospilal Training by Joe Klaips Wilkes College, this year as in the past, is host to student nurses from the local hospitals. These young ladies, 107 in all, represent the Nesbitt, the Wilkes-Barre General, and the Wyoming Valley hospitals. Their program has been planned for them by the student nursing directors at the hospitals, who are working in cooperation with the administration here. Because nursing is a three-year program, these student nurses, unlike students enrolled in a four-year program, will enter their junior year. In their junior year less time will be spent here on campus and more will be devoted to work and instruction in the hospitals. In their senior year, nurses select their major field of sudy, which may be anesthesia, operating room work or one of many other specialties. After completing this year, if they "make the grade," they are awarded a certificate in nursing. Their certificate is a symbol of their three years of hard work, but the story does not end here. Their training completed, the nurses take a State Board of Nurses examination to become licensed as registered professional nurses. After passing this examination many nurses will furth er their education by attending regular college classes for two years to get their Bachelor of Science degree in nursing. As freshm en, the Wilkes student nurses are beginning the process of discovering for themselves the rewarding careers to be found in the fields of nursing. Problems Experienced By Faculty Member Resemble Student Life by Gloria Zaludek Shall we add a new name to the Dean's List ? Dr. Konstantin Symmons, chairman of the sociology departm ent, r eceived an 'A' in a course this summer at the University of Colorado. Under the asupices of the National Science Foundation, Dr. Symmons r eceived a fellowship to the University's summer institute in anthropology. "It was no vacation," he sighed as h e described the intensive summer course given in all fi elds of anthropology. The course was for college teachers who have th eir degrees in fields other than anthropology. When asked what he found most troubl esome in the eighteen class Musicians Announce Society's Schedule For This School Year Alberta Barbini, president of the Young Musicians Society and a junior music major at Wilkes, recently announced the society's program for t he 1961-62 season. The opening of the season was marked with a dinner-dance in September for the members of the society who entered colleges as music majors. The program, including the r egular meetings on the second Sunday of each month is as follows: This Sunday, following the regular meeting, the Young Musicians String Quartette will present a program. On November 12 and December 3, George Pappa-Stavrou will present his Town Hall and New York recitals respectively for the Young Musicians. A motor trip to New York for an afternoon opera performance and in the evening the final concert in a series of five in Carnegie Hall is scheduled for December 10. The first meeting of 1962 on January 14 will be an Opera Workshop directed by Ferdinand Liva. On February 11, Herbert Rogers and George Pappa-Stavrou, concert artists, will direct a Piano Seminar. A two-piano recital by members of the Wilkes College Music Department will be the feature of March 10, and on April 10 a Conducting Workshop will be directed by Ferdinand Liva and William Gasbarro of the Wilkes faculty. On May 8 Mr. Gasbarro will direct woodwind soloists and ensembles, and at a dinner on Jun e 5 new officers of the society will be install ed. The ' first program open to t he public will be presented Saturday evening, October 14, at the Century Club, Scranto~, when the Society will present two of its Young Mu- NEW BOOKS New Books in Library Deal with Science, Education and Military by Maryalice l sganites One of the new books which the Library has added to its collection is The Other Child by Richard Lewis, Alfred Strauss, and Laura Lehtinen. The authors explain what a brain-injured child is, his psychopathology, and what his management and education should be. It may be read with profit not only by parents but by teachers, social workers, and all those who take an interest in children and in the impact of "otherness" on both the affected individual and society. Our male readers are sure to find Gene Lyons' Education and Military Leadership a book worth reading. In this book Mr. Lyons presents a study of the ROTC. H e views this vital problem in the context of the American educational system and concludes that civilian colleges and universities must begin to educate the military as they do for oth er professions. The persistence of war even a mong civilized peoples can be attributed largely to psychological motives which Freud's work enables us to recognize. Alix Strachey, in her book entitled The Unconscious Motives of War, probes some of the less widely understood motives and shows that they spring not merely from the deeper mental levels of the individual as a private person, but from his attitudes of mind as a member of a group - in this case, the state or nation to which he belongs. Those who enjoy seafaring adv entures might try Charles Daugherty's Searchers of the Sea: Pioneers in Oceanography.

Dr. Mui Explains Research Aims Involved in Tea-Drinking Sludy by Lynn Dente 3 Peace Corps Advisor Returns For Tuesday Meelings in Slark A field representative for the Peace Corps, Mrs. Marie Ross, will be on campus all day next Tuesday after 11:30 a.m. to talk to students and faculty members. Meetings have been scheduled for noon in Stark 109 and at 3 p.m. in Stark 306. If these times are inconvenient, alternate ones can be arranged through Mr. Morris' office in Chase Hall, Mrs. Ross' headquarters for the day. Mrs. Ross will be available to answer any questions a student or faculty member may have concerning the Peace Corps, be they personal or general. A talk with her can resolve many of the vague areas concerning the Corps. Science Study Promoted By National Foundation by Alice Bakun To further the progress of science the National Science Foundation plans to award approximately 2,500 graduate and 135 postdoctoral fel lowships for the academic year of 1962-1963. College seniors and faculty interest ed in these fields of study may obtain stipends from the Foundation providing they have the proper qualifications. A wards will be granted only to: 1. United States citizens or nationals or those wh o will be United States citizens or nationals by March 1, 1962. 2. those having demonstrated ability and special aptitude for a d v a n c e d training in the sciences. 3. those who will have been admitted to a graduate school prior to the beginning of the fellowship. Types Graduate fellowships are of three types: 1. First Year Fellowships for those pursuing Master's Degrees. Annual stipend will be $1800. 2. Intermediate Fellowships for those having their Masters' Degrees and pursuing the doctoral degree. Annual stipend will be $2000. 3. Terminal Year Fellowships for t hose who expect to attain the doctoral degree within one year after the beginning of the grant. Annual stipend for this type amounts to $2200. Married candidates will also receive an additional allowance of $500 together with $500 for each dependent child and aid to help defray traveling expenses. Selection Recipients of the awards will be selected on the basis of academic records and recommendations of ability, scores on examinations testing scientific aptitude and achievement, as well as other evidence of potential ability. As I waited for Dr. Mui I could hear bits of his conversation with one of his wide-eyed advisees. "We're supposed to establish h armonious relationships and all that, you know," he told Application the eager Frosh. Having had Dr. Mui for a history course, I Applicants may obtain applicaknew this was typical of his particular wit, and felt he would tion forms and furth er information provide me with an interesting story. I explained the nature of my visit, and before I began to by writing to: The Fellowship Office ask my previously written questions, Dr. Mui explained that National Academy of Sciences although he received his research grant from the Social Science National Research Council Research Council last spring, he and Mrs. Mui began their work 2101 Constitution Ave., N .W. dealing with the Economic and Social Effects of Tea Drinking Washington 25, D.C. Applications must be received by On the British Empire in 1956. Konstantin Symmons hours per week, Dr. Symmons mentioned three problems which may sound vaguely familiar to many students. He said that the hour and a half classes made him realize the difficulty students have in sustained listening. He admitted that objective t ests are trying. And he did not like the vagueness of what was going to be covered on examinations. (continued on page 6) When I asked Dr. Mui to be a little more specific about his subject h e explained that he and his wife questioned the importance of the tea monopoly of the East India Company: how did the monopoly eff ect India, which was under British co ntrol?; who drank the t ea? In answer to these questions Dr. Mui said that the profit of the com pany did contribute to the establishment of the British Empire and the expansion of the company in India. His answer to the second question was surprising in that he stated only the richest and the poorest were the greatest tea drink ers in the late 19th and beginning of the 20th century. The rich considered drinking tea fashionable and the poor couldn't afford any other beverages. Later the gap between the two groups began to close. Tea was also considered a r elaxing beverage in that people took time from work to brew and drink it. When I told Dr. Mui that I had first thought that this project was of a sociological nature, h e explained that he and Mrs. Mui are attempting to combine sociological theories with economic history. The regulation of the tea trade was an integral part of the administration of William Pitt and this problem entailed all types of social customs and ramifications. In answer to my question concerning the grant itself, Dr. Mui explained that the grant allows both he and Mrs. Mui to make one trip a year to study pertinent manuscripts in the Huntingdon Library at San Marino, California and the Harvard Library at Cambridge, Mass. This grant enabled him and Mrs. Mui to complete their work. Now that their research has been completed, the Mui's plan to test their conclusions and analyze their material. Later, they hope to publish the results of this extensive project. the Foundation no later than January 5, 1962. Recipients of t he awards will be announced on March 15, 1962.

Candidates must have the same g e n e r a I requirements as those working for their graduate degrees, gree or having research training and experience equivalent to such a degree. Application material may be obtained by writing th e Fellow' ship Office at the above address. Along with the above two types, the Foundation is sponsoring fel lowships for science faculty and summer fellowships for secondary sch ool teachers. It is also administering for other agencies NATO postdoctoral science fellowships and OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) Senior Visiting Fellowships for study abroad for senior scientists, mathematicians, and engineers. Her trip to Wilkes is a part of a nationwide information campaign, conducted by the Peace Corps, to explain the principles of the program and the opportunities available for work throughout the world. Initially, those interested must complete a P eace Corps Questionnaire, obtainable from Mr. Morris. Although it may be possible to take the P eace Corps test without submission of an application, such submission ens ures a place when t h e test is administered. November 28 and 29 are set as the next test dates, at which time they will be given in Wilkes-Barre at the Post Office. The test, itself, takes approximately 5½ hours, starting at 8:30 a .m. The alternate dates are to enable students to take the test at the more convenient t ime. The November test date is especially recommended for seniors who are interested in joining the Peace Corps immediately upon graduation. Notification of acceptance or r ejection of those tested in November will be given by the middle of next March for the program starting next June 15. This will allow enough time for students to make arrangements with any graduate schools they may plan on attending. Details of the test can be obtained next Tuesday. Practically, besides providing an excellent opportunity for work in an overseas country, the Peace Corps offers many advantages. Training received is almost impossible to acquire elsewhere. The two-year tour, including t h e several months training program, provides opportunities for character development and expan sion not available in many other ways. Although the Corpsman will not be living on the highest level, he will not be living on the lowest level of living in the country. This depends entirely on the position held. For example, a teacher in Tanganyika would li ve on the level of a native t eacher, which in that country is quite high. Although no salary is given, several methods of remuneration are possible. Primarily, $75 a month is applied to the Corpsman's account in the United States to be us ed as he wishes. This money, however, may not be used in the country the Corpsman is working in. A government allowance is provided that completely covers all living expenses for the Corpsman from the minute h e is officially a m ember of the Corps until he is released from service. In addition, a 2½ day· leave is provided for every month in the Corps . This leave ca11 be cumulati ve at the regular allowance plus $5 a day and traveling- expenses to encoura ge travel in the country or surrounding areas.

College Misericordia will furnish the opposition for the first field hockey team in the history of Wilkes athletics. by Dale Jones The football team travels to Collegeville tomorrow to take on the Bears of Ursinus College in an effort to pick up their first win of the season. The Colonels will be trying to rid itself of the seemingly inability to capitalize on scoring opportunities and to get itself into the win column. Last year the Bears ruined the Wilkes Homecoming with a 14-7 victory. The team works out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at the new Wilkes Athletic Field next to Kirby Park at 4 p.m. The team is made up of eleven players and Coach Saracino has not a set lineup thus far. Any girl interested in playing on the team should report to the Kirby Park field on practice days. No experience is n ecessary to play but a firm interest and will to play are the main ingredients for a candidate for the squad. Although the team is not a member of a league this season, Mrs. Saracino has several games scheduled for this year with a league membership set for next season.

Nineteen lettermen wear the red, gold and black uniform this season and have been responding to their schedule like world-beaters. Last week a last minute touchdown gave a strong Johns Hopkins team a 13-7 win over the Bears. The gridders lost their sceond game of the season on Saturday as they bowed to PMC, 7-0. Almost 3,000 people saw a fighting Wilkes squad move the ball well during the entire game but fail to cross the line into scoring land. It was a little bit of luck ·that put the Cadets on the score card as Crate was hit on the four-yard line by a viciou s tackle and fumbled. Cadet fullback Nick Trainer pounced on the ball in the end zone and the game was won. In the second quarter the Colonels threatened when a Gubanich to MacLaughlin pass put the ball on the PMC 15. But the Cadets dug in a nd a field goal attempt by Larry Turel was wide. The third quarter saw Wilkes' ground attack start rolling. With Tom Krisulevicz, Dick Capitan , and John Gardner pulling large chunks of yardag e with driving runs, the drive settled on the Cadet 10. A Gubanich pass was intercepted to halt this drive. In the final period Bill Schwab led the Colonels in their final threat. With Hardy and Krisulevicz eating up yardage the threat reached the eleven.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Shawneeites, Butler Lead 'Touch' Gridders, Russo Leads Indians with Two Touchdowns 'Kris' Cited for Outstanding Game The 12-team intramural touch football leagu e rounded out its first week of play late Thursday afternoon. The games were incomplete at the time of this writing, with the Goremen and Hollenback meeting on W ednesday and the Boozers opposing the Bandits on Thursday. This week the accolade of Beacon Athlete of the Week goes to Tom "The Bomb" Kri sul evicz, senior secondary education ma jor.

Four downs are allowed to reach the center of the field. From there four down s are allowed for a score and points after touchdowns may be scored by passing or rushing. The games are divided into four 15-minute quarters with a sixminute break betwe en halves. Phil Russo, the Indian with Exeter blood, scored twice for the Shawneeites on passes from Pugh. J. P. McAndrews also crossed into scoring land twice with a speedy pair of punt returns to pay dirt. T osh Karmilovich and John T ensa ended the TD spree for the defending champions. Lee Wasileski, a Shawneeite loaned to t h e Tribunals for th e game, scored the lone tally for the losers. In the Dorm league the Butler Hall six sent out early warnings for league contenders with an impressive 34-6 win over the hapless Bennett Hall team. Ed Rogalski led the assault on the frosh dorm with two touchdowns while Joe Kruczek, Ziegler, and Smithson scored a touchdown each. Tom Krisulevicz Next week's schedul e finds the Rockets and Mau-Maus meeting on Monday and Ashley and Barre tangling on Tuesday. On Wednesday the Shawneeites will try to make it two in a row when they meet the Bandits while Butler will try for number two on Thursday when they meet Hollenback. rushing. He spearheaded four deep penetrations into PMC territory. The fact that the Colonels failed to score on these drives does not detract from Tom's st ellar performance.

McClintock did a satire on the attributes of wholesome cafeteria. Sterling Hall shined with a really humorous and well-executed mockery of the freshman tribunals. Weiss Hall's theme was beatnik with Howarth doing a skit on dormitory characters. This particular presentation seemed bent on pelting campus personalities with rotten tomatoes. Bennett Hall concentrated on a lofty U.N. caricature. The audience is still wonder ing what a "whitby" is. Finally Hollenback Hall did a portrait of "Snow White and the Six Dwarfs" .

The National Poetry Association announces its annual competition for any student attending either junior or senior college. There are no limitations as to form or theme; however, shorter works are preferred by the board of judges, because of space limitations. Each poem must be typed or printed on a separate sheet, and must bear the name and home address of the student, as well as the name of the college attended. The closing date for the submission of manuscripts by college students is November 5, 1961. There is also a contest for teachers and librarians for possible inclusion in the Annual National Teachers Anthology. The closing date for the submission of manuscripts by college teachers and librarians is January 1, 1962. There are no fees and charges for acceptance or submission of verse. All work will be judged on merit alone. "Magnificent Mazowsze" Shows Here for First Time Poland's most celebrated and most traveled song and dance company, the Mazowsze Ensemble, will have its American premiere at 8 p.m. tomorrow at the Irem Temple Auditorium on North Franklin St. Mazowsze has performed before more than three and one half million people during the eleven years of its existence. Tomorrow's performance marks the initial appearance of Mazowsze in North America as it opens a three week tour of the United States and Canada. Established in 1948, the Mazowsze Ensemble did not make its first public appearance until 1950 in Warsaw. The colorful company has enjoyed unbounded success since that time. In addition to folk music from all parts of the country, the repertoire of the ensemble includes songs and dances taken from the region about the Polish capitol. The director of the ensemble is Mira Ziminska-Sygietynska. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1961 Peace Corps Examinations Given Tomorrow al Cily Posl Office Any American citizen desiring to serve in the Peace Corps has the opportunity to qualify by taking written examinations to be given throu ghout the country on October 7. Local a pplicants may take the Peace Corps test at the main Wilkes-Barre Post Office, South Main St., tomorrow, beginning at 8:30 a .m. The testing will continue for six hours, along w ith a n addition al lunch hour. Direct Grant Is Result Of Alumnus Employed By Eastman Kodak The examinations will be of two kinds. A special type has been desigm~d for those desiring to teach on the secondary or college level. Only those holding a bachelor's degree will be permitted to take this test. However, t h e candidate does not need to be an accredited teacher. The other type is for a ll other candidates. This test has no set passing grade, and the Corps members will be selected by background, special skills, and character ratings, as well as examination results. Dr. Nicholas Hobbs, Director of Selection for the Peace Corps, hopes to attract many citizens to the agricultural and industrial aspects of the Corps' work. In relation to this issue Mr. Hobbs stated, "We are receiving an increasing number of requests for such skills from prospective host countries. We will have to turn down t h ese requests if we are unable to meet their needs." Even though a prospective candidate has not filled out a questionnaire, he is eligible to take on e of the examinations tomorrow, provided he sees the person in charge of the Civil Service Commission testing center at the main Post Office tomorrow morning before testing begins. by J eanette Bucholtz Once again, Wilkes has received a subsidy which will enable it to meet its increasing expenses . Eastman Kodak has endowed Wilkes with a direct grant of $2,400 under the company's annual aid-to-education program. Wilkes is one of 58 colleges and universities to receive grants from Kodak this year. The grants are based on the number of graduates from these institutions who joined Kodak five years ago and are presently employed by the company. Kodak has contributed a total of $3,400 in direct grants to Wilkes since 1959. This year's grant is based on I. J . Swicklik, a 1949 Wilkes alumnus who was graduated with a B.S. degree in chemistry. Mr. Swicklik is now a research chemist for the Eastman Kodak Company of New York. The company's 1961 aid-to-education program calls for direct grants, fellowship awards, and special contributions totaling approximately $1 million.

Art Club Fills Roster; Plans Overnight Trip To Visit Art Museums �2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIALS- XXliXXXIIIXIIXIXXIXIIXXx STUDENT SKETCH Homecoming Once Again Letters to the Editor ... A glance at the college calendar reminds us that the annual Homecoming Weekend is just two short weeks away. Many campus organizations have already begun to plan for the affair which promises to be one of the best yet. One of the functions of the Beacon staff with regard to this weekend will be the selection of the Homecoming Queen and her court. Nominations for queen may be made by any member of the student body and should be made in the form of a letter submitted to the Beacon. Students are asked to keep in mind the qualities of personality, academic ability, appearance and participation in extra-curricular activities when submitting their nominations. Only coeds who are members of the senior class are eligible. From the list of nominees, the members of Student Government and the members of the editorial board of the editorial board of the Beacon will select the Homecoming Queen and her court. The cooperation of the student body is requested in this effort and we are asking everyone to begin now to carefully consider his choice for the coed who will reign over the Homecoming celebration. ~::r';:~***************** The 'Beacon' Mailbox An unusual and welcome sight greeted us this past week in the form of some nine letters to the editor which were received on Tuesday afternoon. Unfortunately, space did not permit our publishing of all the letters received. Needless to say, we are pleased to see the interest which has been generated in campus affairs. We are pleased also that students have recognized the Beacon as a means of communicating their opinions to their classmates as well as to the faculty and administration members. It is our sincere wish that such letters written on any subject which will appear frequently in the Beacon mailbox. All letters submitted for publication must be signed, however, the name of the author may be withheld upon request.

(Editor's Note: Because of limited space and similarity of letters contributed, several letters which were submitted do not appear in this issue.) Dear Editor, I feel it is my duty to lodge a complai nt about the apathetic and immature forces that are directing the 1961 Orientation Program. Too many upp erclassm en have shied away from responsible actions and are guiding Freshmen to carry trays and shine shoes while neglecting to guide them in the traditions of Wilkes College. If the goal of the orientation program is the annoyance of Freshmen, then the 1961 program has been successful; but if the goal of the program is the assimilation of the Freshmen into the strange world of college life, then the program has fail ed. The only reasonable cure for the errors of the program is the individual responsibility of each member of the upperclass. As amusing as it might be to have a lackey for three weeks, the Freshmen were never meant to be responsible for the needs of the upperclassmen. Strange as it might seem , it is the upp erclassmen, as experienced college students, who are responsible for the needs of the Freshman.

I have postponed writing this letter for a number of weeks, but I now realize that I should have spoken up last year. I am a senior at the college, and for the past few years have had the opportunity to witness the hazing period. The spirit of hazing is traditionally accepted as it should be, but when tradition oversteps the bounds of personal dignity, moderation is called for. It has reached that point. Let us examine the spirit of hazing. Is it not true that the purpose of that institution to create an atmosphere of good will among the students at the college? Why then must certain students seize upon this opportunity to impress upon the hapless freshman that he is an "all-powerful" individual who must be cow-towed to or else beware of the consequences. Another reason for hazing is to force the student to make friends more quickly by pulling the freshman class together through their common, unfortunate situation. In theory, this is a fin e idea, but in practice that is not the case. The day students form cliques, not beca use of hazing, but because they are from the same section of the area. The dorm students form close friendships within their own dorm and through inter-dorm rivalry. Both day and dorm students form friendships through class association. Therefore, how necessary is hazing? Yours truly, Harvey Stambler * * * Dear Editor, After reading last week's article on hazing, it made me realize that our program has much to be desired. Instead of making the Freshmen feel that they are a part of the college, it ridicules and sets them apart from the rest of the students. If upperclassmen would spend as much time helping the Freshmen as they do ridiculing them, not only the Freshman, but the college itself would certainly benefit. Respectfull y, Barry Witt * * * Dear Editor, In response to last week's article on the subject of hazing, I agree with those students who feel that the program n eeds modification. Because many dormitory students become intoxicated with power, the entire program falls short of its objectives. It is because of this, that the power of the over-zealous students must be curb ed. Sincerely yours, Carl Hirsch *** Dear Editor, Needless to say, our library staff was very pleased to see that three articles featured the Library in the first issue of the Beacon. We were particularly in agreement with Phil Siegel's plea to the student body to be more considerate of their colleagues, and particularly to check out books when r emoving them from the library. Our books from the main collection for two weeks, after which reminders are sent to the culprit and a fine of two cents per day is charged for every overdue book. Faculty memb ers do not receive any overdue notices, but as soon as it is known to us that a student wishes a book which is taken out by a faculty member, we call up the faculty member immediately. Reserve books and special assignments circulate for a restricted time and cannot be renewed. It is gratifying that from the students themselves comes a courageous voice stressing: "Only through cooperation, veracity, self-abrogation, and assiduous toil, can we retain and secure our well-cherished democratic ideals." I have visited many countries and university campuses where democracy is not fully understood. I was I Friday, October 6, 1961 Senior Saxophonist Gives Recital; Classics Featured in Concert by Jerry Shilanski A rare treat of mellow melodies, coming from the bell of Ed Y adzinski' s classical saxophone, will be available to the ears of Wyoming Valley next Thursday. The "swingin' cats" from TV Bandstand may not recognize the sounds that flow from this senior music education major's horn, but the lovers of "long hair" will be amazed by the unusual potential and techniques that can be demonstrated by a classical saxophonist. As Ed put it, "It's entirely different from 'rock and roll'," Ed, who is known at the colleg~ as somewhat of a virtuoso on the saxophone and clarinet, will climax his ten years of musical study on the evening of October 12, in the college gymnasium . The repertoire for his senior instrumental recital will contain many contemporary French works. In the past, very little classical music has been written for the saxophone. The saxophone is seldom heard in American or nonFrench symphony orchestras. Some of the selections on the program are: Concerto for Saxophone by Glazonouv; Concertino for Saxophone and Improvisation et Caprice by Eugene Bozza; Rapsodie for Saxophone, without a ccompaniment, by Debussy ; Pavanne by Maurice Ravel; Miniature Viennese March by Fritz Kreisler.

This will be th e third outing of the season for the Cadets who have em erged from their gridiron battles with Wagner and Wester n Maryland with victories.

Chuck, a junior business major, time and again boomed the ball out of Wilkes territory when t h e Seahawks attempted to break the quick-acting Colonel defense. He played spirited and determin ed soccer in conspiring with his fellow defensemen to hold t he Wagner squad scoreless. As co-captain, with Ted Toluba, Chuck aids in knitting t he team together.

It is understandable that Mrs. Namisniak would pick this incident as the highlight of the summer tour that took her and thirty-one other college and high school professors 33,000 miles around the globe. This tour, sponsored under the auspices of the NEA, was open to all professors, on both the college and high school levels, who cared to go. Al t hough the visit with Mrs. N ehr u was th e standout of the tour, many other high points suggested the mselves to Mrs. N amisniak as she thoug ht back over the trip for the benefit of this reporter. She said that she could ne ver forg et standing on th e same road that the Apostl e P aul took to Corinth, the Indian school children who sang 'God Bless America' for the group in English, or the students she encounter ed who cherished the gift of a pencil. To show that the tour was int ended to be more than the travelogue it must have seemed, 1V1rs. Namisniak pointed ou t that the g r oup met th e heads of various educational institutions in every land tha t they visited. In addition, s he pointed out that most of the count ri es visited conduct summer classes and, t hat whenever possible, th e group sat in on these. It is virtually impossible to travel fo r two mont hs and not form any impr essions of the things you have seen. Having vis ited approximately eleven countries, stretching from P ortugal to Japan, Mrs. Namisniak was candid in her appraisal of what she saw and felt. A general ap praisal of the trip is in order for the grouv aia obtam a better overall unaerstanding of the countries it visited. lvus. Namisniak pointed out that the group were nev er treated ungraciously, that they always felt at home, anu that they never encountered any anti-American feeling. r eople were anxious to meet the tour members and always wantea to try out their English. The transportation facilities and the fooa were good, but cotfee was only available in the American embashies; that is the coffee that Amencans are willing to drink. She pomted out that Turkish coffee is strong enough to stand by itself. Although the Lrip md show the group that these countnes have come a long way in developing, there still is much that can be done, not the least of which is a mutual understanding of the problems that fac e us. Through trips like this, in which Americans meet and talk to natives, many mis understandings can be cleared away.

The new members will fill vacancies caused by recent resignations. The date for the election has been set as Friday, October 6.

For the 1961-62 school year an official record will be kept of the votes of every Student Government representative on each motion passed. This will enable interested members of the student body to check on their representative's vote on pertinent issues, to insure proper representation. Topics on the agenda included reports from the standing committees. Jim Walters announced that the extra-curricular a c t i v i t i e s budget had a balance of $471.66, which may be donated toward a scholarship fund, if so voted by the Student Government. Jerry Shilanski, representing the S c h o o 1 Spirit Committee at the meeting, proposed that a portable public address system be installed on campus for college activities. Reports were also submitted by the policy, calendar, publicity, constitution, and evaluation committees. An External Affairs Committee was created to consider matters off campus, such as state or federal legislation, or an event of national importance, which would involve the interests of the college. Mike Bianco was appointed chairman. Ed Rogalski was put in charge of a Bulletin Board Committee, to investigate the possible role of the Student Government in maintaining the bulletin board on the Commons. Reports were also heard from Special Events Committees. The Orientation Committee, headed by Ted Begun and Jim Walters, announced that a rope-pulling contest between the freshmen and upperclassmen will be held at the football game Saturday, September 30. Bonnie Jenkins reported that a Student Government sign will be posted at Harding Hall in the near future. Other committees discussed plans for the Undergraduate Dinner Dance, Homecoming, Dr. Farley's Day, and the United Fund. Nominations for the Court of Appeals were opened, and Activity forms from various organizations were accepted. Both the Calendar Committee and President Kishel stressed the importance of submitting these completed forms as soon as possible, as it facilitates planning of the activities calendar, and indicates the organization and forethought of the club involved. The Student Government recommends that jackets be required for all dances scheduled, ex·c ept novelty affairs. Seniors Present Assembly The senior class has undertaken a project that no other class has done at Wilkes. Aware of the criticism often directed toward assembly programs in the past, the senior class has taken what it hopes will become a tradition for this class in the years to come. With this in mind, the class has obtained Dr. Dorothy J. Lipp, Dean of Women at Pennsylvania State University, to address next Thurs(continued on page 4) Louis ·P . Shannon, manager of the DuPont Company's Extension Division, has chosen "The Disappearance of the Obvious" as his topic when he speaks h ere next Tuesday. A member of Phi Kappa Phi, an honorary scholastic society, and the Public Relations Society of America, Mr. Shannon was secured through the office of Dean Ralston to speak to the Economics and Retailing Club s and SAM. However, officials of each of these groups emphasized that the entire student body is welcome to hear this address, which will be given in Stark 109 at 11 a.m., by a man who has made a mark in both the business and education worlds. Mr. Shannon will discuss the factors that have spurred the nation's economic growth and will show how these factors have become obscured almost to the point of disappearance. When asked if he had a preference as to addressing a student or a faculty audience, Mr. Shannon pointed out that he thought the student body at Wilkes could profit more from this talk than faculty members could. For this reason, he hopes to address a large group of students. Receiving his bachelor's degree from Southern Illinois University and his master's degree from the University of Florida, he has gained much experience abroad as an educator and a school administrator. Lettermen Drink to Raffle by Julie Evans The Lettermen's P r e - S ea s on Punch Party will be held today from 1 o'clock to 4 o'clock at Chase Lawn to kick off the coming football and soccer season. Y orath Evans, senior secondary education major, is the chairman. The club held teas and punch parties in the past, but the tradition was stopped a few years ago. There will be no charge of admission and the lettermen will serve the refreshments. All students and faculty members are cordially invited to attend the party. The Lettermen are also sponsoring a raffle that began Tuesday, September 26 and will continue until Homecoming. Group to Charter Buses Busses to take students to away athletic events are being chartered this year by the School Spirit Committee.

PENNSYLVANIA New Representatives Needed For Student Government Posis Boost School Spirit. New Instructors Aid College Atmosphere With Past Experi nces by Jerome Krasa The college continued its tradition of striving for excellence in education by again adding a substantial number of new instructors to the faculty. This year, ten men and women joined the ranks of fulltime Wilkes professors. That our faculty member are selected on the basis of what they can contribute to the student body in the way of new and varied ideas is made amply evident with just a glance at the educational background and prior experience held by these new instructors. Dr. Frederic E. Bellas, a native of Edwardsville, is typical of the new faculty instructor. After receiving his terminal degree from Wilkes in 1947, Dr. Bellas transferred to Pennsylvania State University, where he soon obtained his Bachelor and Master of Science degrees and also his Doctorate in Physics. At Wilkes, he is an Associate Professor of Physics. Mrs. Wanda Hilner typifies the beauty and charm of the new women instructors. Reversing a trend common in the Valley, Mrs. Hilner went to high school in New Jersey (Teaneck) and then came here to teach. She received her Bachelor's degree from Hood College in Frederick, Maryland in 1960 and, explaining that she recently got married, she said that she came to the area as her husband's work is situated here. She is an instructor in the Biology Department. A new instructor who left the hills of North Dakota for the valleys of Pennsylvania, Mr. Kent Kirby is a signal addition to our Art Department. He completed his studies in his home state and received his Bachelor's degree from Carleton College and his Master's degree from the University of North Dakota. His previous teaching experience includes two years as art instructor at Muskingum College in New Concord, Ohio. His hobbies include painting, sports, and the theater. Home life is divided between his wife, Lynn, and two young children, Kalin Louise and Jeffrey Bruce. Mr. Albert Stralka is by far the youngest among the new instructors. He attended Hanover Township High School and is still a resident of the Township. Entering Wilkes in 1957, he re,c eived his Bachelor's degree just this past June. His m"a jor hobby is golf and he can be found professionally in Conyngham Hall carrring out his duties as a member of the Mathematics Department. Another bright addition to the faculty, Dr. Bernice Leagus, is also from this area. A native of Wilkes-Barre, she attended Wilkes for two years, then transferred to Bucknell to obtain her Bachelor's degree. Her Master's and Doctor's degrees were obtained at Pennsylvania State University. A former instructor at Wilkes, she also taught part-time at Penn State. At Wilkes, she is an Assistant Professor of Biology and Coordinator of our Nursing Program. Mr. Robert Lovett received his Bachelor's degree from Ithaca College and his Master's degree from Teachers College of Columbia University. His prior experience includes several positions in colleges around the country. Between high school and college, he found time FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1961 Shilanski Heads State CCUN; Sophomore Demonstrates Ability by Joe Klaips Jerry Shilanski, a member of the sophomore class, was appointed state chairman of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations. On June 14-22, .Shilanski, representing Wilkes, along with representatives of the C.C.U.N. organizations all over the nation, attended the Sixteenth Annual Intercollegiate Leadership Institute of the United Nations. Held at Sarah Lawrence College in New York. this year's institute with 165 representatives, was the largest ever held. Here, Eleanor Roosevelt addressed the group. In addition to the time spent in conference and discussion groups on the college campus, the representatives spent two days at the United Nations headquarters. A detailed tour of the United Nations building was conducted and several delegates from various countries addressed the group. At the conclusion of the Institute, elections were held and a regional director was elected; it was he in turn who appointed Shilanski to coordinate the activities of the C.C.U.N. in Pennsylvania. Incidently, although Shilanski has only been a member for one year, he was appointed to this position because of his outstanding qualifications of leadership and his sincere interest in the organization. When asked what the position m eant to him, Shilanski replied, "It gives me an opportunity to work for an organization which has, within its power, the possibility of Jerry Shilanski bringing a lasting peace in the _ _ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ _,_world." to take part in five campaigns in Europe in World War II. Married and the fat her of four children, he has published several articles and is a guest conductor of the U. S. Air Force and U. S. Navy Bands, among others. Bringing a touch of internationali sm of the new instructors, Carolyn Morris, after receiving her Bachelor's degree from Wellesley ·College, attended the s um m er school divisions of L'Ecole Polytechnique and the Sorbonne: Louvre in Paris. Formerly a parttime instructor at Wilkes, she was also Department Manager of Children's Wear Merchandising at Abraham and Straus. Very active in community affairs, she has one lively son who manages to keep her busy at home. At the college, she teaches economics and retailing. Mr. Harvey Bresler, in addition to his duties in the Commerce and Finance Department, is the college's' Director of Development. He received his AB and LLB degrees from Columbia University. At various times, he has studied at the University of California, New York University, and Columbia University Graduate School. A former member of the New York Adult Education Council, his nonprofessional hobby is book reviewing. Edward Benson Lewis is another of our new faculty members who has studied abroad. After getting his Bachelor's degree from Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana, he spent some time at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland in special studies on James Joyce, W. B. Yeats, Anglo-Irish novels, and Anglo-Irish drama. He received his Master's degree at Ohio State University, and is a member of the English Department. Jose Ribas studied at three of the m ajor schools in Spain, the Universities of Salamanca, Madrid, and Barcelona. This native of Ge- Discussing the subject further, Shilanski stated that it is the objective of the C.C.U.N. at this time to increase active participation in the organization by more colleges throughout the nation. In addition to serving as state chairman of C.C.U .N., Shilanski is vice-president of the organi1zation here on campus. He is chairman of the School Spirit Committee, a member of the Beacon staff, chairman of the committee for Sane Nuclear Policy, and publicity chairman for the class of 1964. From the academic angle, Shilanski is enrolled in the liberal arts program and plans to enter the field of journalism upon graduation. The experience he is gaining now as state chairman of the C.C.U.N. by corresponding with member colleges will undoubtedly be an asset to him in the journalistic field. USMC Team Coming A Marine Corps Officers Selection Team will be on campus October 4 and 5 to interview students who are interested in becoming officers in the United States Marine Corps.

Inter-Dormitory Council, wish to The freshmen were instructed to wear their "Sunday best" and as usual, they attracted the attention of many an upperclassman as they appeared on all parts of the campu_s on Friday morning. At noon, a contest was held to select the nicest and most unusual toys. The winners were awarded with an exemption from tribunal attendance, but the story does not end here. This year, "toy day" was only the beginning of a project which was to gladden the hearts of many children as well as to bring credit to the students of Wilkes, particularly the freshmen and the members of I.D.C. Following the noon contest, the freshmen were invited to place their toys in a container for distribution to charity. The toys were then taken by two I.D.C. members to two local institutions. Half of the 250 toys collected were donated to the St. Stanislaus Institute at Nanicoke, and he remainder were given to the Plymouth Salvation Army for distribution among the needy. This project certainly brings a great deal of credit to the college and the I.D.C. members who arranged the project as well as the freshmen who participated are deserving of recognition. Thanks to them, this year's "toy day" fulfilled not only the purposes of the orientation program, but also brought a great deal of pleasure and enjoyment to those less fortunate. Once again, congratulations to all concerned for a job well done. From the First Row Baltimore Chamber Orcheslra Well Received·by Students by Bob Kundr:eskas Th e Baltimore Chamber Orchest r a und er the direction of Elliott W. Galkin presented a varied program at Tuesday's assembly. The program was void of the usual "workhqrses" g enerally expected at such . presentations. The opening work, a rarely h eard overture by Sacchini, established the fact that the en semble was a first-rate group. The tempi were crisp and the bowings precise. In the "Concerto for Piano and Orch estra in C", by Paisiello, pianist Daniel Abrams proved himself more than equal to the demands of the composer. His playing was strong and precise. Friday, September 29, 1961 Bela Bartok's "Ro um an i an Dances" were a joy to the ear. The dan ces are · highly expressive and Mr. Galkin exacted this expressive feeling with precision in the various Rubati. "The Concert Piece for Bassoon and String Orchestra", by Phillips, was another matter. The bassoonist, Stanley P etrulis, and the conductor had, at times, difficulty in agreeing on a common tempo.

Europeans Interesting Co-ed _F inds on Tour by Roz Deretchin "Any tra-veler who has been to Europe can tell you about the famous sights, but Europe is not just a world of church es and museums; it is a place where life and customs are different from ours in the United States." Miss Roz Deretchin, a sophomore psychology major, who toured Europe with a group of American college stud ents last summer, went on to tell .of the interesting people she had met in Europe. Unlike most · conducted tours of Europe, Miss Deretchin's group visited many places which were off the beaten tourist path; this gave her an opportunity to meet students and natives of each co untry through which sh e passed. Recounting her adventures, she said, "One night in Edinburgh, Scotland, we visit ed a women's dormitory at Edinburgh University. We introduced ours elves as American students interested in talking to Scottish stud ents. Within a matter of minutes, -we met a group of girls who were eager to talk with us about what America is really like." Though sh e found that many of the people that sh e met believed Americans to be rich and spoiled, sh e quickly added that everyone did not share this opinion. "For example," she said, "in the small towns, people were extremely friendly and went out of their way to please us." "In fact," she added, "aside from seeing the many famous places, what I r eally loved most about Europe were those small towns, where the people wore costumes indigenous to their country, and where their way of lif e has changed little This whole thing started way back in 1957 when Lee was a junior at West P ittston High School. The Luzerne County Dental Association ran a contest, and gu ess who won? Her "gleamy" smile was undoubtedly one of the contributing factors that helped the judges choose Lee as one of the " Ten BestDressed Coeds" at the college last year. Surely Lee's satisfying smile will prove to be a valuable asset in the future. Particularly when she enters h er chosen field of elementary education.

How Severe Is Hazing This Year? "Although I am pleased with the sin cere efforts of Al Kish el and the orientation committee that helped him reorganize the 'ha,zing' program, I would like to see more effective application of the committee's suggestions. Upperclassmen in general have been apathetic toward the orientation portion of the program and overzealous toward the hazing portion. I strongly urge that anyone who wishes to improve the program contact Al Kish el or write to the Beacon. -Steve Schwartz Schwartz Editor-in-Chief ------------------------------------ Wayne W .

Thanks to Lee Baiera, who says she has brushed with that certain brand for years. Her thirty-two conforming pearls that sparkled when she giggled was enough evidence to convince me that I had been using the wrong tooth paste.

M. Hounds Feature Passing Attack; Colonels Have Balanced Offense The Greyhounds of Moravian College will provide the opposition for the Blue and Gold gridders as they raise the curtain on their 1961 season tomorrow afternoon. Kickoff time is listed for two o'clock at the new Wilkes College Athletic Field. The Greyhounds downed the Colonels, 14-2, in last year's contest and hold a 9-1 series edge over the Wilkesmen. The Greyhounds started the season last week and were edged by C. W. Post, 21-19. Although they tasted defeat the scouting reports indicate the Greyhounds have a strong team with depth at each position. For the first time the visitors are operating from the wing-T formation with quarterback's option. Andy Semmel got the starting nod at the quarterback slot last week-end and responded with nine completed passes, good for two touchdowns. J im Frank, Bill Hino, and Jim Kelyman fill out the remaining backfield posts. The Greyhound line shows good size, fair speed and experience. Of course the Colonels will have to take a backseat to no one as they attempt to bob above the .500 mark for the first time in recent years. Last year the Colonels utilized primarily power plays up the middle to lead their offensive thrust. This season the power is still there but a better-rounded attack is expected. A sharp passing attack, quarterback Ted Travis-Bey to Rick Rees and Larry Turel, mixed strategically with the bronco-busting type running of fullback Tom Krisulevicz and halfback Frank Wallace will give the Wilkesmen their best balanced attack in years. Wallace, a converted quarterback, gives the Blue and Gold a halfback with which to operate the option. H e has the speed to make sizable gains around the end and can throw accurately to spell nothing but trouble for the opposition. The nu cleus of a winning team is a good line has been the cry of success_ful coaches d_o wn through the years. This year's team has a solid nucleus on which to build. Jim Brunza, Ed Gavel, Pete Winebrake, and Chuck Cherundolo give the Colonels plenty of "beef" at the tackles. The guards-Don Eller, J erry Mohn, Len Kibildis and Len Ri chards and Len Rishofski are small by college standards but have the speed and experience to offset this seemingly deficit. Three-deep are the centers with Ferrismen Perform Well in Clash Against Fasl Susquehanna Team Lepore Gains Nod as Athlete of the Week This year on the Wilkes soccer team the emphasis is on close teamwork. One of the players who exemplifies this endeavor is senior Retailing major, Frank Lepore. "Sweetie Pie", as he is called by his teammates, serves almost as a cheerleader for the team in addition to handling his outside right position with a great amount of skill and determination. In Wilkes' 1-0 victory over Susquehanna University Wednesday, Frank repeatedly initiated drives that ended with the Wilkesmen hammering at the Crusaders' goal. He was instrum ental in the Wilkes scoring thrust, as he helped bring the ball past the Susquehanna defenders into scoring position. Late in the game Frank made several crucial defensive moves as the team staved off a rejuvenated Crusader attack. ' With only one day of rest after Wednesday's clash with Susquehanna, the Colonel soccer team will be seeking their second straight triumph in as many games when they tangle with Wagner College this afternoon at 3 :30 at the Wilkes College Athletic Field. The Colonels shut out Susquehanna, 1-0, in their season's opener. The Blue and Gold hooters will definitely be up for today's contest. Not only will they be out to score their second victory but they are eager to have the winning season that has escaped them the past two years.

People of the Sun by John Blofeld is a study of contemporary Siam - the transition from its ancient ways to a type of Westernization. Characters introduced in the novel lead us to a country where the scents of flowers and incense mingle with an everthickening m iasma of petrol fumes ; where the chanting of Buddhist m onks alternates w ith the blare of radios relaying the latest "hits" ; a n d where, in an emerald settin g of rice fields and jungle, the jewelled spires of royal temples rise above rows of concrete office blocks.

WILKES COLLEGE Vol. XXVI, No. 1 by Jerome Krasa The Institute of Municipal Government, originally formed in 1951 as part of the Political Science Department, has grown under the direction of Dr. Hugo V. Mailey to the point where it has gained national prominence. In 1960, the Ford Foundation, cognizant of the value of the work being done by the Institute, provided it with a substantial grant which enabled it to expand its program. The Institute has as a major purpose the strengthening of American democracy by guaranteeing the effectiveness of local government. This fundamental goal is supplemented by the Institute's program designed to improve local government in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Provision of in-service training for local government officials along with the granting of technical advice, assistance, and research as a follow-up to instruction and cooperation with other local agencies highlight this by Frances Corace program. The newly formed School Spirit The basic program is made up of Committee met on Wednesday to short courses which provide non- initiate plans for the forthcoming Shilanski Conducts First Meeting of Spirit Committee degree educational opportunities for elective and appointive officials, a reference library containing among other materials monthly copies of over 60 magazines and publications, a Luzerne County News Letter published monthly for circulation to local officials, a nd an Information Service plus a Field Consultation Service intended to provide practical and reliable information of a general nature and special consultation for municipal officials on management problems. In assisting local Civil Service Commissions in selecting qualified personnel, the Institute also provides a t esting service for general information and aptitude tests. A continuous program of research is maintained to provide the latest and best information for member officials at all times. The research material, as well as the other physical features of the program including the reference library, are housed in the Institute's office on the fifth floor of Parrish Hall. The courses offered range over a wide variety of topics, covering virtually all aspects of concern to local government officials, both elective and appointive. The curriculum for the coming fall and spring semesters calls for courses in small arms, municipal fire adm inistration, and criminal law for magistrates as well as for courses of interest in other fields of local government. These courses are offered in cooperation with the Public Service Institute of the Pennsylvania Department of Public Instruct ion. Dr. Mailey directs the Institute staff which provides the instruction in the courses, augmented by guest lectures as the need arises. Mr. Philip R. Tuhy, a member of the Political Science Department, is the Educational and Research Associate. Mr. Alfred S. Groh, a member of the English Department, is Edito rial Consultant. In r ecog nition of their efforts, the local officials who participate in the program receive certificates at the annual dinner of the Institute held late in the spring. The wide scope of activities of the Institute was demonstrated at the last dinner as local government officials from several counties other than Luzerne r eceived certificates in courses ranging from training for township supervisors to training in police detective work. New Library Handbook Published to Aid All Students by Barbara Lore For the first time in the history of Wilkes College, a t extbook, whose subject matter is the Wilkes College Library, has been published. The text, entitled "A Student's Handbook to the Wilkes College Library", was compiled by the Library Staff, which includes Mr s.

The opening weeks of the semester will mark a busy time for all of us but it is also a time when many precedents which will be adhered to in the coming year are being set. There are several things which should be done in order to insure that the precedents which are set are in keeping with the goal of improving our college and with the many phases of cam pus life. The Beacon staff wishes to make known at this time some of the plans being made for the coming year. In an effort to improve our publication we are announcing a deadline for the acceptance of material which will be enforced. We believe that it will be for the good of all concerned if information is in our office prior to 5 p.m. on the Tuesday afternoon preceding the Friday publication. We are also asking that whenever possible this information be presented earlier than this time in order to enable our reporters to write clear, concise, and accurate stories which will be a credit to the persons and organizations involved as well as to the members of the Beacon staff. Once again we would like to welcome everyone to the college and to extend best wishes for a successful and profitable year. Upperclass Participation Urged A number of student leaders joined last week with the members of Student Government in planning and efficiently carrying out a well-organized orientation program to welcome and acquaint the class of 1965 with our campus. The time and energy expended by this group will be to no avail if participation in the overall program by upperclassmen is lacking. In previous years, most freshmen entering the college abided by the orientation rules but most upperclassmen failed to carry out their end of the program. Only when upperclassmen participate by "hazing" the freshmen and enforcing freshman rules will the program be a success. It is appropriate here also for us to review the general purposes of the orientation program. One of these is to acquaint the freshmen with the customs and traditions of the college. A second purpose is to help to unify the freshmen as a class and to enable them to work together as a group as soon as possible. The wearing of clinks and ties and the carrying of pennants helps to accomplish this as does the class project which once again this year is the United Fund Dance. This affair, which is almost totally planned and executed by the freshman class, helps each member of the class to identify and recognize the class leaders, those who perhaps will be later elected to one of the class offices. In order to insure the success of the class project and to enable the freshmen to become assimilated into the student body, we as upperclassmen must take steps now toward a successful orientation program. Once again, this is now beyond the scope of the student leaders and is in the hands of the upperclassmen as a whole. You can help by enforcing freshman rules and regulations, attending tribunals, and helping the freshmen to become acquainted with every phase of college life.

Friday, September 22, 1961 Letters to the Editor . . • Stude~I Dear Editor: On behalf of the Wilkes College Student Government I should like to extend our appreciation for the work and planning put into Freshman Orientation Week by the student leaders, namely, class presidents, organization presidents, and the representatives of various campus organizations. Their unselfish work and service made the program what it was a tremendous success. To these people, the Student Government owes a great debt. Thank you. Respectfully yours Al Kishel, President, Student Government * * * To the Student Body of Wilkes College: Before getting to the motive for this timely message I would personally like to welcome back all of my fellow classmates and also extend an ardent welcome to the incoming freshm en. I sincerely hope that the forthcoming academic year at Wilkes College will prove to be very stimulating and highly successful to both the student body and the capable faculty. In order to contribute a modicum of services toward making this academic year successful, I am writing this vestige as a manifestation of my desire to achieve this desirable goal. Ever since I enrolled at Wilkes College, one particular aberration of the student body has vexed and perplexed m e. This concerns the disrespect a small segment of the student body has for their classmates. I am specifically referring to the fact that a numerous amount of volumes in the library have completely disappeared. These students who are the cause of these missing books are denying many of their classmates the opportunity to secure valuable information. Through their selfish and dishonest conduct, these students stifle our academic resources at the College which in turn creates obstacles to the educational growth of the College community. Ostensibly, these unprincipled individuals are not aware of the inimical effect their dishonesty has upon the college as a whole. To dismiss this problem would be quite easy; however, if the current trend persists, the situation will lead to one of disastrous proportions. Consequently, we must take immediate action to prevent further loss. I propose that the library staff institute more stringent regulations concerning the present liberal borrowing procedure. Secondly, each student should take it upon himself to make sure neither h e nor any of his classmates accidently or knowingly take out books illicitly from the library. Finally, faculty members should also consider their colleagues and the students by not abusing their library privileges. I would like to remind all my college cohorts that we are living in a troubled age. Outside forces threaten our freedom like a saturnine thundercloud. Only through cooperation, veracity, self-abrogation, and assiduous toil, can we retain and secure our well-cherished democratic ideals. By instituting actions such as I suggest, we can clearly manifest our desire for continued freedom, success, and happiness. Sincerely yours, Philip H. Siegel Class of 1963 * * * Dear Editor: Once again the school session gets underway, all returning upperclassmen are greeted with both old and new sights on our campus. Heading the list of new additions are the dorms, more facilities, rooms, and a large freshman class. Yet, as the student attempts to park his vehicle, all of the kamikaze pilots that were successful in finding a parking spot between 6 and 7 a.m. have taken all of the Go~ernmenl President Explains His Role_and Policies by Jerry Shilanski Organization, clear thinking, optimism, and high standards are the words and phrases that reel before you when scanning a typewriter keyboard looking for the right combination of letters to describe this year's Student Government President. Al Kishel. "I consider myself very fortunate to be president of the Student Government; therefore, I will do my best to meet the standards of the office." This was his humble reply when confronted with a point blank, "How do you like being the head of such a distinguished organization, Al?" Al Kishel little space that was available. In each lot there is a smiling school-appointed patrol ticket maintenance officer, gaily waving you on (since no space is available) making sure to check that you purchased a $6.00 sticker, even though it won't get the driver a parking spot. The most effi ciently marked and operated lot is at Parrish. Then going to the other extreme is the lot adjacent to Gore. Cars are bunched in to such an extent that many students find it impossible to open the door once the car is parked. If the student is lucky enough to open the door, the other problem is finding a way to walk through the maze and get to the sidewalk. Entering and leaving the lot is another novelty. Unless one is blessed with a continual stroke of good fortune, it is necessary to bounce up and down the curb to enter and leave. Besides knocking the front end out of line, many students have left souvenirs behind, such as tailpipe sections, mufflers, and bent bumpers from attempting to go over the curb. The writer is aware of the high cost of purchasing land to make additional space available for cars, but each year there are more students and more cars. With all of the increases there is not even a reasonable facsimile ratio to parking space available. Isn't there something that can be done to alleviate this condition which is continually getting worse? Respectfully yours, Ronald Diamondstein Women's Lounge Will Be Constructed in Pickering Mrs. Gertrude Doane, Dean of Women, has announced construction of a women's lounge, to be located on the second floor of Pickering Hall. The purpose of the lounge, according to Dean Doane, is to provide a place with "homelike" atmosphere for commuting women students to go "for rest, not sociability". The crew is working daily on the construction of the lounge and will have it completed in about three weeks. Exact opening date will be announced in a later issue of the Beacon. NOTICE The Junior Class will meet on Thursday at 11 a.m. in Stark 116. He continued by saying, "the only way the Student Government can maintain the respect of the student body is to fulfill all of its obligations." Praising those serving on this policy-making body, he promised that by tapping the ability and potential of these people the organization's obligations will be fulfilled . "I am very much encouraged by the participation and spirit displayed by the student leaders and the entire student body during Freshman Orientation Week and the first week of school," said Al. When asked to reiterate the Student Government's role and policies, Al shot back as though he had rehearsed for this interview for weeks: "One. To act as a liaison between the student body and the Administration. "Two. To accurately formulate student opinion on all matters and refer such opinions to the appropriate channels. "Three. To coordinate all student or~anizations so that duplications and conflicts in student activities can be avoided. "And Four. To provide the student body with a well rounded extracurricular program so that students will not have to go elsewhere for their social enjoyment." In reference to the expanding role of the Student Government, Al emphasized the importance of stimulating creative thinking and originality on campus, uplifting the school spirit, acquainting the students with all the facilities and opportunities at Wilkes, and encouraging them to use these facilities. Al is convinced that the Student Government President is directly responsible for assuring the accomplishment of all objectives; this, he feels, can only be done by a president who makes himself aware of the expectations of the administration, the faculty, and the entire student body. He is also certain that the Student Government president is an actual reflection of every member of the student body and must conduct himself in a manner that will do justice to his colleagues. Al considers his presidency as a full time job; therefore, he no longer participated in the many clubs and organizations in which he was formerly active. The only activity that shares his time is a part-time job in a local accounting firm. Al, a senior accounting major, has been working with the Laventhol and Krekstein firm for several months and plans to do his accounting internship there later this year. He explained that his job gave him an invaluable opportunity to gain practical experience in his academic work. Presently undecided about his future, Al is contemplating applying for the Peace Corps, Marine Officers' Training Program, or admission to Law School. Further education is definitely among his future plans. Commenting on his past three years at Wilkes he unhesitantly suggested that this period had been a time of tremendous personal growth and development for him. In a nostalgic tone Al said, "Wilkes is really an outstanding institution. Sicne I have been Student Government President, I have had an opportunity to realize the efforts put forth by the administration in maintaining and raising the standards of the college. If I had it to do over I would choose (continued on page 3) �7, September 22, 1961 Wll.KFS COLLEGE BEACON .,.- rosh Have Varying Reaclions To First Week on Campus Two more tribunals, one on September 26 and another on October 3, will mete out suitable punishments to the offending "frosh"; all tribunals are compulsory for freshmen. "Frosh" living in dormitories have found that their upperclass "brothers and sisters" are eager to assist them in adjusting to campus life. Orientation, the process of transforming high school boys and girls into college men and women, began in earnest this week as upperclassm en returned for the 1961-62 acade mic year. The freshmen, who had reigned supreme during their first week on campus, r eact ed differently to the attentions of the older Wilkesmen.

Shelves Noled Faculty Member Discusses Experiences and Opinions Abroad· Continuing its program of Reading for Fun and Enjoyment, the Library has added many new books which both entertain and amuse. One excellent example is a hilarious novel of Gl's in Tokyo during the occupation - a zany tale of an army with no war to fight and nothing, really, to do. Bob Duncan's If It Moves, Salute It tells of Pfc. Frank Ellison, a new recruit straight from the corn belt, who was to learn "the army way" while stationed on the outskirts of Tokyo in 1945 at the Shogun Hotel. This hotel was taken over by a pleasure-loving captain of the Twelfth Special Service Company who turned it into a gilded resort with a sunken marble bathtub, some lusty murals, and a whiskey decanter that played "Onward Christian Soldiers" when tipped. This novel is for all publicspirited citizens who want to know what, exactly, our boys were doing over there. Sons of the South by Clayton Rand is a stirring tribute to those who have added to the greatness of our nation and to the glory of the South. Through picture and story one hundred gallant men from the American South come to life. Rand probes the hearts and minds of such valiant Americans as Sam Houston, a man who rose from the depths of personal tragedy to achieve greatness; John James Audubon, who endured years of poverty until his genius was finally recognized; the kindly Dr. Gorrie, who invented the first ice-making machine for the comfort of his patients and who died unaware of his enormous achievement; the lanky Andrew Johnson, the only president who never spent a day in a classroom. Included in the honor roll of the South are Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, Cordell Hull and Woodrow Wilson, Daniel Boone and Jim Bowie. All were men who f o u g h t courageously for their ideals; all were men sired by the South. As many of our readers know, Dr. Stanko M. Vuiica, chairman of the Philosophy-Religion department, had spent the past academic year in Pakistan and India as a Fulbright scholar. On his way to Asia Dr. Vuiica visited the countries of South Europe and Middle East and on his homeward trip he had a three-month tour of the Far East. We asked Dr. Vuiica for comments on some of his experiences. Speaking of his many contacts with college and university students abroad, Dr. Vuiica said: Colonial Dames Sponsor National Essay Contest; For Juniors and Seniors "I made it a point to see the institutions of higher learning in almost eevry country I visited.

Several students asked about the "b e a t n i k phenomenon" in the States. It was, of course, easy for me to answer such questions, but there were others. Usually there were a few leftist oriented in the group and they were more articulate when it came to such questions as the segregation in American schools, Wall Street "imperialism", American "preparations" for war, etc. I rarely had a chance to answer this type of question as the Dr. Stanko Vuiica individuals who asked them would usually be shouted down by their memorable, Dr. Vujica said, "There were · many unforgetable experifellow students." ences, but somehow I cherish most One hears a great deal about the moment of my brief venture wide-spread anti-American feelings into the cold-war diplomacy.

During the past two weeks the twenty-five man edition of the 1961 Wilkes Colonels squad has been doing just that under the critical eyes of Coach Jim Ferris. Finally the big day is drawing near; on Wednesday afternoon the Colonels kick the lid off their 1961 schedule when they meet the Susquehanna university squad in a M.A.C. contest at the new Wilkes Athletic Field at 3 :30. The visitors from Selinsgrove downed the Colonels in their initial meeting last season, 4-3. Despite losses via graduation Coach Ferris feels that our returning lettermen, led by co-captains Ted Toluba and Chuck Weiss, will form the nucleus of a strong team. Among the old reliables are: Frank Lepore, George Tensa, Clyde Roberts, Pete Eckhart, Erwin Guetig, Walt Prusakowski, and J o h n Adams. A great help in "Operation Soccer - 1961" is that many of the newcomers to the squad have had some soccer experience. Bill Flynn played four season of varsity soccer in Toms River, New Jersey, while Todd Gibbs played at Allentown High. Don Jacoby, Tom Tomalis, Dick Morgan, N. Doherty, Tom Bloomer, and Jack Barnes are bidding for a starting berth. In regards to our possibilities of a winning season co-captain Ted Toluba expressed the team's optimism, "with an ever-improving team that knows only hustle, the outlook is definitely bright." Of course, the Colonel booters will face formidable opposition having several ··All-MAC" players but veteran Frank Lepore says, "We'll hustle them to death." The latest word from Coach Jim Ferris indicates the starting lineup is indefinite, but will probably include Chuck Weiss and Erwin Guetig at the fullback slots and Ted Toluba at center halfback. Clyde Roberts, Frank Lepore, Walt Prusakowski, and Pete Eckhart seem to have gained berths on the line with John Adams holdini down the goal-tending chores. Coach Ferris has been driving the hooters to whip them into top physical shape, and he has juggled his lineup to balance weaknesses, both offensively and defensively. Injuries, although not serious ones, have been starting to creep up on the squad. Freshman Don Jacoby has been out for a week with a pulled groin muscle while Chuck Weiss has a swollen knee and George Tensa is still hampered by a sprained ankle. After the home opener against Susquehanna on Wednesday the Colonels will travel to Long Island on September 30th to meet Wagner in a renewed rivalry. SENIOR STALWARTS - Th'is quartet of Seniors is expected to form the nucleus of this year's soccer squad. The veterans are, left to right: Frank Lewre, George Tensa, Ted Toluba, and Clyde Roberts.

He ranked among the first or in his office in the rear of Chase ten in MAC standings in rushing, Hall on the second floor. scoring, and total offense for two consecutive years, capping his performance by being named to the northern division All-Conference squad and the ECAC team of the week. Marv also was MAC wrestling champion in the 177 pound division for the past three years. when they were seniors. This is the year of the prophecy. Last season the Colonels were two teams. Defensively they were granite-hard and allowed only 109 points in nine games. Offensively they spent the season sputtering and stalling and managed only 56 points in a 2 and 7 season. The reason for this odd transformation from a defensive Goliath to an offensive inadequate seemed to lie largely with the quarterback corps where Paul Aquilino shared the starting role with Al Gubanich. Although they proved to be ample runners, neither could throw long passes consistently and, as a result, opponents stacked their lines to halt the ground attack. As of now, Coach Pinkowski seems to have the answer to this problem in quarterback Ted TravisBey from Phoenixville. The 5'-9", 165-pound freshman has shown that he can throw the ball accurately as well as carry it effectively. He has displayed a good deal of poise and confidence in performing his role. Bill Schwab and Al Gubanich are vying for the quarterback slot also. Tom Krisulevicz of Plymouth powers the Colonel running game. The 5'10", 170 pound senior runs from fullback and has the speed to make the long gain. Last season Tom was ranked fourth in yardage gained in the MAC while averaging 3.3 yards per carry. Frank Wal- lace of Larksville is expected to run from the left halfback position while the right half post is still being contested by Bud Hardy, John Gardner, and Richie Capitan. Hardy poses a double threat with his ability to pass as well as run. The biggest asset the Wilkesmen possess is their line with a number of lettermen returning to action. Veteran Rick Rees will be hard to dislodge at right end while Larry Turel is battling for the left end position. Tackle and guard posts will be less troublesome spots for Pinkowski as he has a number of eager candidates for these positions. At tackle will be Jim Brunza, 6'1", 200 pound senior, and Pete Winebrake, returning to Wilkes after a stint in the Marine Corps where he was an All-Marine tackle. Pete also was named Outstanding Lineman in 1957 at Wilkes. Junior Nick Alesandro is also contesting a tackle post while Chuck Cherundolo is sidelined with a leg injury. At guard will be Jerry Mohn, 5'8", 210· pound junior; Don Eller, a senior; and freshman Len Kibildis of Plymouth. Mohn was the only lineman in the MAC to win Outstanding Sophomore plaudits last season. Bill Meneeley, 6'2", 190 pound junior from Coughlin, is expected to start at center and may very well Marv Antinnes be one of the best middle-men in the conference. Last season Bill showed vast improvement. Among the upperclassmen bidding for varsity spots are Dick Blisick, John Evanich, Paul Aquilino, Bill Mulford, and Joe Kruczek.

This was the opinion expressed by Michael F. P. Bianco, senior political science major, after completing a period of summer governmental service at the Pennsylvania State Capitol. Along with nine other governmental interns, Bianco was one of the winners of the 1960 James A. Finnegan Fellowship Foundation A wards. The Finnegan Foundation was established to provide practical training in government and politics for outstanding students in Pennsylvania colleges and universities and to honor James A. Finnegan. Bianco found his experience "rewarding because the members of the foundation and the representatives of the government gave me valuable insight into government and political action, and challenging because of the new groups of people and areas of responsibility which were made known to me." Along with the other winners of the annual competition, Bianco was given the opportunity to work as a trainee in the Labor and Industry Department, and to take part in an organized orientation p r o g r a m which was designed to give each intern an over-all view of the operations of the state government. Bianco spent the period of his internship with the Public Relations division of the State Department of Labor and Industry. He also did some work with the Publicity Division of the Pennsylvania Democratic State Committee on a Civil Rights fact sheet. His work with Public Relations consisted in writing press rel eas es for the Department and doing research on legislation which the Department wanted passed or defeated. Toward the end of the summer, Bianco assisted in compiling a Radio and Television Directory, a publication of the Department of Labor and Industry. Along with his governmental work, Bianco participated in weekly conferences at the administrative level at which cabinet officials explained the functions of their respective departments. He and the other interns also met with Governor David L. Lawrence on several occasions, a man whom Bianco found to be a "personable and an effective administrator".

Seniors End College Careers With Well-Planned Graduation June the month of which poets sing, i~ the delight of college seniors. Four years of classes are over; a new horizon is wide and open, but, more than this, June means graduation and the activities that are attendant upon it.

Members of the class have planned an outing at Rummage's Grove; beginning at · open t o a II senoon, th e ou t·mg 1s niors and their guests and will cost each person fifty .cents. On Thursday, June 1, the Crystal Ballroom of the Hotel Sterling will be the scene of the annual semiformal Senior Dinner Dance. All prospective graduates are expected to attend this affair and it is hoped that each senior will be accompanied by a guest. Guest tickets, costing $2.75 each, may be purchased at the Bookstore until May 30. No less than six activities have been scheduled for the following day, June 2. At 10:00 a.m. all graduating seniors are required to meet at the gymnasium for a final Commencement rehearsal. At 11 o'clock class pictures will be taken on Chase Lawn, and at 12:30 p.m. Chase Lawn and the Cafeteria will be the scene of the Senior Class Luncheon. Following the luncheon the Class of 1961 will meet formaUy as undergraduates for the last time. At this meeting, on the lawns adjoining Chase and Kirby Halls, the history of the class will be presented and permanent class officers will be elected. President Eugene S.

Thanks, too, go to Don Hancock, this ye~:xr·s sports editor, who, in addition to his usually competent sports writing, preserved many exciting sports thrills for Beacon readers with some good camera shots. To Mr. Francis Salley, Beacon advisor, we wish to express our gratefulness for his guidance and gentle admonitions which were sometimes needed but aiways appreciated as a demonstration of his sincere interest in the Beacon. Much of the credit for our ability to be able to inform the student body of new developments concerning the college goes tci Mr. Livingston Clewell, director of PRO. Although he was subjected to the rigors of his first year on the job, Mr. Clewell often went out of his way to help the Beacon - our dee.pest thanks, "Pop". The paper would never be a reality, in spite of our efforts, were it not for the cooperation and extra courtesies shown to us by our printer - the Schmidts. Po.p, Leo, and Ed.die, more than once, went out of their way so that we could get the latest news into the Beacon - which often times isn't possible with a Tuesday deadline. Schmidt's Printery - our "unofficial" school of journalism - has been a second home to us, and we are deeply indebted to the Schmidts. To the students who were, for the most part, cooperative to the professors and instructors, and to the administration in Chase Hall, we wish to express our thanks for the contributions and helpful hints which have made this year's Beacon successful. In closing l find it necessary to substitute the singular subject for the journalistic plural to express my deepest appreciation to_my parents who have persevered through an eventful - if not predictable - college year. Their influence, praise, and admonishments will forever be a part of my memory.

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. Dear Cynthia: India is a holy land. She is lacking in many things, but holiness sh e has in abundance. Several million holy men roam the country roads on a perpetual pilgrimage from one holy spot to another, from one holy city to another. Varanasi (Benares) is the holiest of the many holy cities of India. Benares has to be seen from the boat on the river, because there the most interesting and unique Hindu religious and social activities take place. A long stretch of the banks of the Ganges is lined up with the staircases (ghats), above which tower temples, shrines, mansions of former wealthy maharajahs, and houses of the devout Br~hmins. People come every mornmg to t th · f •t h t • th b a th dde a eir avo:n e g at m te mu y, sI ow movmg wa ers, o • of th e1r • sous, 1 was h away th e sms and the sweat of their bodies.

Others are modern, erected recently liy the Buddhists from all over the world, including the ubiquitous Tibetan refugees. ·A few pilgrims are here, and the place has the air of lonely dignity like a deserted palace of a once great aristocrat. Calcutta, the city of six million people, is only 250 years young, built by the British as their seat of administration. In contrast to Benares, the city of sanctity and death, Cal-cutta presents the picture of a bustling, industrial city of factories, banks, and business establishments; like any other international port she is full of life and pregnant with a thousand vices. Calcutta is the home of the greatest Bengali poet, Rabindra Nath Tagore, and the latest Hindu religious reformer, Ramakrishna, the repository of Ghandi's ashes, and the place of the famous temple of the bloody and cruel goddess, Kali. Calcutta is the seat of one of the largest universities in the world. The city's lung is the large park called Maidan, stretching for miles in the middle of the new business section. The grass is cut low every day; this done by cows and goats, which our guide called "our lawnmowers". It is very romantic to ride in the pre-monsoon March nights to a dinner party in an open bicyclerickshaw dressed in the lightest cotton dress and open sandals with- James Neddoff Voices Praise For His College Experiences by Jerry Shilanski "Tremendous!" . . . he said, and with that one word James Neddoff summed up his feelings about Wilkes. "Why?" ... he was asked and without hesitation the senior education major spouted a list as long as this column. "It's the little things that make this college superior. Each student is a personality, not just a number; he has a faculty advisor and he is able to talk directly to his instructors. The required liberal arts courses are great because they give the student a broad education in all fields that he just couldn't get in a specialized school." "You 'brush elbows' with many people who have varying interests and you are liable to get their points of view," he went on. "The education is here for those who want it. I've never been sorry I came to Wilkes. I constantly brag about the college to everyone I meet and I try 1:o influence as many high school students as I can to come to Wilkes."

A tropic isle theme prevailed at this the final formal dance of the school year. In the center of the gymnasium floor. was ll volcano of brown and green foil. Lighted angel hair provided a smoke effect for the inferno. The backdrop depicted a southern Pacific scene with palm trees, moonlight, and the like. The ceiling of the gym was decorated with green and white paper to achieve a cob-web effect. The bleachers were folded and covered with colored foil on which were suspended leis and other appropriate articles of decor. To complete the theme, the tables were bedecked with half coconut shells and candles. Herbie Green and his orchestra provided music for the ball which was well-attended. Outstanding Students Reco.gnized by Wayne Thomas Students who have excelled during their time at the college in academic achievement or extracurricular activities were granted recognition at the annual awards assembly held yesterday in the gymnasium. Mr. Francis J. Salley, faculty advisor to the Beacon presented three awards to the graduating members of the staff. Joseph Olexy, Jr. received the award as graduating editor-in-chief of the · publication, Joseph Chisarick was awarded a pin as graduating business manager, and Sandra Biber received an award in commemoration of her two years of service on the Beacon staff; Later when we drove together to the old city and approached the temples, he refused to leave the taxi shaking his head in disguest. Beggars closed in on the taxi much to the embarrassment of our guide, clad in immaculately clean white dhoti.

Our Fijian Hindu just became desperate. I was happy to witness his reaction for I realized that things need not be as they are, and that at some future time, most Indians will feel the same way that he does. Bhubaneswar is the new and modern capital of the state of Orissa on the coast of the Bay of Bengal. It is pleasant to see all the up-to-date buildings for colleges, laboratories, administrative offices, and state guest houses. The people are smaller in build and darker; their dress is dictated by the climate; men wear only lungi ( skirt to their knees or longer), and women only a sari-like piece of cloth without any undergarment. Brahmins, the once proud caste of of priests, serve as guides around temples, and are not ashamed to say that they are hungry. Their caste statute prohibits them menial work, and the pilgrims, poor themselves, cannot support so many priests, holy men and monks. Bhubaneswar has · fifteen hundred temples profusely and artistically decorated and many experts consider them the finest examples of pure Hindu art. A lonely giant on the sand dunes in the nearby Konarak, the "Black Pagoda", is both beautiful and frightening. But by this time, I have seen so many temples that my senses are numb. Instead of describing them, I will conclude with an account of our four-mile walk to and from a Christian village near Dacca in East Bengal. we marched on a narrow path amongst rice and jute fields, flanked by young pineapple bushes and sugar cane, but not one single tree to grant us shade. We crossed water-hyacinth infested waters over a shaky bamboo bridge, and passed along thatched-roof huts. It was high noon, the sun white ablaze, and the air was hot and humid (the newspapers reported the temperature 100 degrees and humidity 94 per cent). Natives walked under black umbrellas. We found this village clean and prosperous. who has attained -the best record in business education.

The following comments were given by Mr. Hodges and Mr. Batt, representatives of President Kennedy, who were sent here to enlighten the local populace on the aspects of the Distressed Areas Law which was recently passed in Congress. Junior English Major Selected to Head Next Year's Manuscript The Manuscript Association recently elected Stephen Schwartz as next year's editor. Schwartz, who will be a senior English major, has served on the 'Manuscript' staff for the past two years. During this past year, he has served as Art Editor. Stephen Schwartz Schwartz, a native of New York, resides at Barre Hall during the school term. He is an active member of the Wilkes College Literary Society and the Wilkes College Committee for Sane Nuclea'r Policy. He has also appeared in Cue'n' Curtain's recent production of The Duchess of Malfi; Mr. Hodges commented that after looking over this area he felt that the people here are not distressed in morale or spirit, even though 15 per cent of the work force is unemployed. "I am impressed by the fact that the people here are not sitting back," said Mr. Hodges, waiting for the federal government to help. "Even. though I am a conservative business man, I ·still believe that the .g overnment · must help where local people can not help themselves. "The idea of creeping socialism is reactionary," he continued, "It is time for the government to help the citizenry not by -a handout but- by helping the people to help themselves. "Under this bureau," the secre·tary added, "there will be grants, loans, and the retraining of workers .so that the economic growth will be able to increase at four to five per cent annually. · "We business · men must get away from our selfish motives. Now we need to join together in a national effort to help this great country to make the common and public interest the · paramount goal." · · Mr. Batt said that he hopes the provisions of the ·bill will meet the expectations · of President Kennedy and the members of the Congress, p·articularly Congressman Flood. "Within the next sever a 1 ·months," s•a id Mr. Batt, "we hope to have about twenty to twenty.,five branches located throughout:' the country, concentrating -on depressed ·areas. · · ·"One of these branches will undoubtedly be located 'iri the· WilkesBarre-Scranton area.

The long-ball hitting freshman has been slugging the ball at a near .600 pace in these ball games to move his season's average to .325. In the early part of the season Lou was having great difficulty at the plate and went hitless in the first three contests. The agile third-sacker didn't become downhearted but worked harder at his stance and finally under the watchful eye of Bobby Ontko overcame a hitch in his swing. Since then he has been the leading hitter on the Colonel squad and has moved into the clean-up spot in the batting order. Against Albright the muscular six-footer gave the Colonel fans something to cheer about by driving a long double into right field and scoring on Ontko's home run. He continued his hitting spree against the Alumni and pounded out three singles, the last one :t,/:i:,:i:C:C:c'c/c,,:cc'c',, t\ltt:tlUW ttittt It tI )@it tt t tttI? ??? t t t )'I tt:t It t ??{ MI t tt I? /%: t ? t{ ff{tt{Ft t \?lt { t %lt t:t t<:n;;; @IBIIBTII i I II : I rn 11::rn I I II:II 1\N tr : } ]} ] j]]}}{j} Ji'./ } { J}} Jfj{ } )f}}}{J t)tt{l]t %I ff rnrntt: Lou Zampetti knocking in th e winning run. On Monday Lou had another good day at bat when he delivered two hits in three times at bat.

He proved his ability to go deep into the hole between short and Boozers Down 'Dusters For Second-Place Spot; Awards Made Tomorrow Saturday marked the official end of the co-ed Bowling League's activities as the Boozers downed the Gutterdusters in r oll-off competition for second place. Mike Dydo, displaying fine form , hit the pins for 203-554 to lead the Boozers to a clean sweep. Howie Williams chipped in with a fine performance by hitting 20-0-532.

Lou is a freshman from the Heights section of Wilkes-Barre and graduated from G.A.R. High School where he starred in football and baseball. For his gridiron exploits he was chosen a member of the Wyoming Valley Coaches' Big 33 and to the Unico All-East team. He is seeking an engineering degree. 5 EDITORIAL- Al the Two-Dollar Window . " . Another year has passed and most of us women included must admit_ to being a year older. Some of us will b~ coming back ne;t year to enJoy another semester or two of studies, finals, etc., ad nauseum. For others graduation is here, followed by the step into the cruel world. For myself, academic considerations, notably a very heavy schedule for the next two semesters, have forced me to 'bring my association with the Be~con to an end. P ersonally, it has been a very enjoyable and rewardmg year. The task of putting a newspaper together nearly every week throughout the year was often tedious and, at times, frustrating. Many were the times when we sat up here in our room on the second floor of Picke~ing Hall, writ!ng h~adlines at two o'clock in the morning to the cla~kmg of t~e radiator m the corner. The radiator had a peculiar habit of makmg a great deal of noise but was stone cold when the thermometer ho vered around zero and quite warm when the men of Hollenback played stickball on the lawn while dressed in Bermuda shorts. Nevertheless, we managed to meet our Friday morning deadline each and every time. To accomplish any project, many hands are needed, people who can work together cooperatively and many thanks are in order for those without whose work the spor ts section of the paper would not have been possible. George Tensa, next year's sports editor, was a very great help. He kept us supplied with the latest doings on the soccer ~eld, _the b:isketball co~r t and the baseball diamond. Working in conJunct10n with the Pubhc Relations Office in his capacity as assistant sports publicist, he brought much material our way. Although sometimes disappointed by the way I altered iome of his material he took it i1:1 stride, kept plugging away at it, and did a fine first ~lass job. Christopher Loesch religiously supplied us with football statistics last fall along with the intramural touch football results. Bil Watkins was excellent in his coverage of intramural bowling, I could always depend on him and Jerry Chisarick to keep us informed of the bowlers' activities. Ed Rogalski supplied me with information about the winter intramural basketball program. Dirk Dunlap kept us abreast of the tennis team's progress and John Adams aided us with go!~ results. Special thanks go to Art Hoover, who provided us with vanous sports material which came into his office 1md who never hesitated to go out of his way to fulfill a request. Swimming coach Carl Havira went to no end to provide us with swimming material. lhr. Reese and Mr. Pinkowski extended the services of their good offices innumerable times while Mr. Ralston and Dr. Farley very graciously cleared up the King's-Wilkes sports situation for me. To Len Y oblonski goes a note of appreciation and thanks for the use of his photographs. His talent in this particular art will undoubtedly be greatly valued next year. Jerry Shilanski helped us get out of several tough jams with excellent use of the Beacon's polaroid camera. A newspaper can po:;sess a fine staff which produces excellent results but unless it works in close cooperation with the technial aspect of its production, i.e., printing, all the work is to no avail. We have been unusually fortunate in having al). excellent mechanical department in Schmidt's Printery. Ed Schmidt struggled with our material at the linotype, Pop set up the material in the forms and Leo handled the presswork. To each of them goes an expression of deepest appreciation for all the help, advice, and suggestions they gave us during the year. Finally, deepest appreciation is in order for the teams themselves and their coaches. They provided us with the thrills, suspense, and excitement which , turned into copy, reached you, the reading public. Their sportsmanship made us proud of them and so to you, the athletic teams a special salute and thanks for an outstanding year. ---<lbh NeImen Close aI ScranIon TOday; Lose lo AIbrighI an d Moravian Why are some girls prouder of their rings than others ?

Name,_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ Address,_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The tennis team draws its 1961 season to a close this afternoon with a match against the University of Scranton at one o'clock at the Scr anton Country Club. The Scranton Country Club has recently built six clay courts and the match is being held ther e rather than at the Municipal Courts where it had been originally scheduled . The squad's first win of the season came at the expense of the Royals last month, 9-1. Coach Art Hoover's boys will be out to make it two consecutive wins over the Scranton team and have extended an invitation to the student body to make the short sojourn to Scranton this afternoon to watch the team in action. The netmen's latest two sorties met with disaster as they lost to Albright and Moravian by identical scores of 6-3 and 6-3. Garry Einhorn, perhaps jinxed by having been named the Beacon's "Athlete of the Week" last week, dropped both his singles matches but combined with Owen Francis and Steve Klein to win doubles. The Albright match saw the Colonel's team captain, Ron Bienkowski, pick up the only Blue and Gold singles win. At number two Bill Kline was downed by Glen Ruoss by scores of 6-2 and 6-3. Dirk Dunlap lost to Bill Ruoff in the number three spot, 6-3 and 6-4. Jim Kurtz bested Owen Francis at number four, 6-1 and 6-0; Garry Einhorn lost to Mike Shalter at number five, 6-1 and 8-6 while Ron Bienkowski defeated Mike Pierce at six. 6-3 and 6-1.

The netmen picked up their third point against the Lions by winning the third doubles, Francis and Einhorn over Anderson and Zentz, 6-4 and 6-1. Steve Klein and Buddy Menaker turned in singles wins against Moravian on Monday at Bethlehem. Both were long matches, Menaker downing Bill Grosh, 6-4, 5-7, and 6-4, while Klein won out over Richard Spaugh, 0-6, 7-5, and 6-0. In other singles a ction Bill Kline lost to Merr Trumbore at number one, 6-2 and 6-4; Bob Lipkin defeated Garry Einhorn at number two, 6-3 and 9-7; at number four Dirk Dunlap lost to Ken Walsh, 6-0 and 7-5; and Grove Stoddard defeated Ron Bienkowski at number six by scores of 6-4 and 6-2. . ROWDIES COP TITLE The Rowdies won the Intramural Softball championship on Monday by out-slugging the Old-Timers, 1310. The contest was marked by good hitting by both squads.

Each year the club sponsors a raffle to which the proceeds go toward to purchase of stock. The reasons the club has this program are to give the members the opportunity of participating in the selection of stock, as well as to enable the club to earn money from the dividends the stock brings in. In the club there is a special committee which chooses the stock which is to be purchased. The committee members, before choosing the stock, go through an active program of meeting stockbrokers from the community who advise them on the buying of the stock. From a wide range of choices the committee narrows down the number to a few stocks which they present to the club to be voted on. The one stock to be invested .in is then chosen. The club purchases the stock through the school comptroller, Mrs. Connolly. The certificate of ownership is accredited to the Economics Club account at the Finance Office. The committee can sell and buy stock any time it sees fit to d0 so. Tickets for the raffle are being sold until 12 noon today . The cost is 3 for 25 cents.

It marks the second consecutive year he has been so honored. Antinnes competed in football and wrestling and was outstanding in both areas of intercollegiate competition. He started the 1960 football campaign strong at fullback and only a few days after the first game was injured during an intra-squad scrimmage and was unable to participate in the next three games. In the r emaining five games of the nine game schedule he was a veritable ball of fire, grinding out yardage at a rapid rate, ending up as team leader in that department and having led Northern Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference in total offense with 694 yards. lie averaged 4.1 yards per carry, was first in the Division in rushing and second in total offense while ranking in the top ten in scoring. He was named honorable mention on the Little "All American" squad and was once named to the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference's All-East Team of the Week.

The host Wilkes team consisted of Al Stralka, Dick Bellas, John Adams and Bob Januszko with Stralka posting the best card with rounds of 86 and 71 for a total of 167. The Bisons, led by co-captain Bob OF THE WEEK Freshman Gary Einhorn Turns in Impressive Court Victories The week's Beacon "Athlete of the Week" award goes to Gary Einhorn, who thus far this season has turned out to be the tennis team's secret weapon. Gary boasts the best singles record on the squad, having been defeated only once, at Susquehanna. His overall record of four wins and one loss has been amassed at the expense of Rider, Lycoming, Lebanon Valley, and Dickinson opponents. The "sleeper" of the team at the outset of the season, he promptly turned in the only victory in the match against Rider and thereby announced that he'd be an opponent Gary Einhorn not to be reckoned with easily for - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - v t h e remainder of the season.

Etzweiler and Curt Mull, shot well on the last nine holes to edge Lehigh and the University of Delaware for the title. At the mid-way point of the tourney the Bisons trailed Franklin and Marshall by a single stroke but the F & M golfers faltered on the wet, rainy afternoon round to fall out of contention. lV1ichael Turbill of the University of Delaware won the Ron Stuart Memorial Trophy for having the 36-hole low score of 152 with rounds of 77 and 75. Turbill putted well on the afternoon round and in spite of a steady drizzle shot 75, just three over par. Bob Goodman of Albright matched Turbill's performance but had a double bogey on the 16th hole in the mornmg round to end the day with 154. Mike Reynolds of F & M faltered in the afternoon and after leading the golrers at the 18-hole mark ended the day with 155 at third place.

Last Tuesday's student government election saw close contests for all but one of the available offices; Jim Walters, incwnbent student government treasurer and a three-year representative of the class of 1963, ran unopposed for the office of treasurer. In contests for the other offices, however, it was a different story. Active and able leaders were almost evenly matched in every contest. Carol Thomas, a representative of the class of 1963 and an elementary education major, defeated Ted Begun, a two-year representative of the class of 1963, for the office of secretary. Mike Bianco, a senior majoring in political science, successfully opposed Rick Re~,s. and was elected to the office of vicepresident for the 1961-1962 year. The biggest clash of the election. however, was the tussle for the presidency. Here Al Kishel a one-time president and twice-elected representative of his class (1962) defeated Mike Bianco.

SANE ELECTION The Wilkes College Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy will meet Tuesday, May 9, at noon in Stark 309. Nominations and Elections of officers will be held. BIOLOGY CLUB ELECTION Biology Club elections will be held on Monday, May 8, from 8:00 a.m. to 4 :00 p.m. in room 300 of Stark Hall. The votes of newly elected representatives to the Student Government helped to make the outcome of the election unpredictable. The following new members voted for the first time in Student Government sessions: Bonnie Jenkins and Mark Levy, class of 1963; Richard Burns and Ed Rogalski, class of 1964. Climaxing the elections, Mr. Alfonso Zawadski, Assistant Registrar,_ discussed the presentation of the controversial film, "Operation Abolition". This film, secured for last night's 7 p.m. Stark Hall showing by the Student Government in cooperation with the administration, frankly portrays the actions of a 11 e g e d Communist-inspired rioters at San Francisco sessions of the House Un-American Activities Committee last year. Local showings of this film have elicited calls from area clergymen for objective interpretations of the more controversial scenes by a qualified and detached person familiar with the background of the riots. As the final order of business. it was announced that the final student government meeting will be held at the Carousel Motel. Lorraine Rome, chairman of the May 8, buffet ·dinner-business meeting submitted final plans for the affair. The dinner meeting will cost each member and guest two dollars; the final meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. Roberts, Van Fossen, Chamberlain, Davis Gain Jaycee Awards by Lynne Dente Four members of the college division of the Junior Chamber of Commerce were recent recipients of awards for outstanding service during the year.

Davis, a senior majoring in secondary education, received the award as "Outstanding Rotating Chairman." He received the award on the basis . of his thorough control over meetings, amiability between himself and members, and because, in the opinion of the judges, he possesses and exhibits a workable knowledge of parliamentary procedure. �2 Friday, May 5, 1961 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITO~ STUDENT SKETCH Another 'First' for Wilkes Letters to the Editor ...

Busy Senior Favors Teaching; Class President for Three Years by Jerry Shilanski It wil ltake more than eight weeks of student teaching to change Gilbert Davis' mind about teaching or discourage him from continuing in the education field. Summing up his recent teaching experience at ·Meyers High School, Gil remarked that "each day was a new experience; I got along great with my students and I really enjoyed the work. One could probably write a book about the incident~ that occur during these eight weeks. l really feel that they will be of tremendous value to me when I enter the teaching profession this fall." In talking with this gregarious senior secondary education major, it is quite evident that he thoroughly enjoys being with and working with people. In view of this it is not surprising that he is so enthusiastic about his field. Nor is it surprising that his classmates have elected him president of their class for three consecutive years.

On Tuesday afternoon the duffers will entertain their counterparts from Mansfield State College at the Fox Hill Country Club in West Pittston. Tee time for this match is also 2 p.m. The golf team, under the watchful eyes of coach Welton Farrar, has emerged this spring as the only spring sport with a winning record thus far. They boast vietories over both Lycoming and Moravian and have been defeated by East Stroudsburg State College. i The opening match, against Stroudsburg, was played in a continual drizzle at Glen Brook CC and saw the squad come out on th~ short end of a 12½ to 5½ score.

The fire-balling righthander hurled a three-hitter to give th e Colonel diamo ndmen th eir first victory of the year as they upset Upsala College, l-O. The lanky pitcher kept th e Vikings off balance with his array of curves and sliders and utilized a blaz,ing faS t ball to set th ree batters down via the strikeout route. Upsala, usually a ha rd -hitting squad, couldn't solve his delivery a nd mustered only three hits, all singles, from Bob th roughout th e game. Fleming loomed as the ace of Coach Dydo's pitching staff at the season's start but was faced with a big "if". During basketball practice early in October, Bob injured his left ankle a nd was forced to th e sidelines. As he hobbled around on crutches the hopes of his pitching for the Blue and Gold this spring grew dim. Soon after having the cast removed from his ankle he started exercising his leg under the watchful eye of Bruce Belding. After weeks of exercises and rubdowns, the ankle grew strong enough to be given the big test. With fingers crossed, he played in the last two intramural basketball contests for Butler Hall and the ankle held up. Bob learned his baseball as a Little Leaguer in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania and moved up through the baseball ranks through Teener, American Legion, and high school ball. While in Hopewell High School Bob twirled a no-hit ball game against Columbia Junction High School for the biggest sporting thrill of his young career. He was also active on the hardwoods and was chosen to the WPIAL Sectional All-Star team during his senior year. The moundsman attended Valley Forge Junior College for two seasons and once again was the leading figure in baseball and basketball. He captained last year's Cadet diamond squad while hurling them to six wins. One of his outstanding performances was a neat twohitter he tossed in shutting out the Blue Knights of Wyoming Seminary. Basketball was also one of his top endeavors and Bob captained the Cadet hoopsters and led the scorers with a 17 point average. This year Bob transferred to Wilkes and is seeking a B.S. in Business Education and is a resident of Butler Hall. Their first win came at the expense of Moravian College at Bethlehem, 13½ to 4½. The squad picked up its second win of the season on Tuesday by downing the Warriors of Lycoming College at Irem Temple CC in Dallas, 17-1.

The diamondmen then return home on Tuesday for a game with the Royals of the University of Scranton scheduled for 3:30 p.m. On 'lhursday the squad is away at Bast Stroudsburg State College for a game at three o'clock. Wednesday saw the team lose to Susquehanna, 5-3, for its fourth loss of the season against just a single win. The game had breezed along as a pitchmg duel for tive innings betore Susquehanna drew first blood in the top of the sixth. Green and Butler singled back to back to put runners at tirst and third and then Blevit laid down a sacrifice bunt to score Green. The Colonels came back strong in their half of the inning when Bob Ontko was hit by Williams' pitch, went to third on Paul Aquilmo's single to left and then scored as he and Aquilino pulled a douole steal. Aquilino scored after being sent to third on an infield out and then going home on a wild ptich. The Crusaders regained the lead by putting across two runs in the top of the seventh on two walks, an error and an intield single. They added a single run in the eighth on pitcher Williams' double to center tield, and then picked up their nnal run in the ninth on four bases on balls. A Colonel rally in the bottom of the ninth was nipped in the bud by Williams' control. Sam Cooper, pinch-hitting for rightfielder DeGuisto, sent a sharp single to deep short, went to second on Hengst's bad throw to first. Kruczek then replaced Cooper at second when Cooper limped in with a thigh injury. Nick Alesandro bounced a shot to Blevit at third who bobbled the ball, allowing Kruczek to score. Williams .then got Yankosky, pinch-hitting for relief pitcher Schwefel, on strikes, and made Walt Folek pop up to end the threat and give the Crusaders the win. The Crusaders managed to collect four hits off righthander Bob Fleming but made use of ten bases on balls. Both pitchers had been breezing along for the first five innings with Fleming holding the Crusaders hitless and allowing only three men to reach base. Errors and walks cost the Colonels the game. The team staged a surprise in East Orange, New Jersey Saturday afternoon by upsetting the host Upsala College nine, 1-0, behind the three-hit shutout pitching of Bob Fleming. The Colonels, winning their first game of the year, scored in the tirst inning and played fine defensive ball the rest of the way in downing a team which earlier in the week had beaten tough Hofstra College. The game's lone tally came in the first inning on a single and a pair of errors. Matt Himlin led off for the Colonels and got on via an error. He went to third on Walt Folek's single and then scored on another error on Bob Ontko's grounder. Folek had been erased when he tried to stretch his single into a double. After such a loud start, the remainder of the game proved to be somewhat disappointing as the two pitchers engaged in a duel. Fleming struck out three and walked five but had fine defensive work behind him. His mates backed him up with five hits, all singles, as the game failed to produce a single extra base hit. One of the outstanding defensive plays of the afternoon was Paul Aquilino's unassisted double play. �Eboniles Shul Dul Playboys; ~ Screwballs Down Pinbuslers, 4-0 -: League Leaders Downed First Time -This Half; Screwballs in Third The only change brought about in the league- standings as a result of Sunday's bowling competition was the Tornados and Screwballs trading positions; the Screwballs blanked the pinbusters, 4-0, while the Tornados defeated the Alley Cats, 3-1.

Ebonites 4, Playboys 0 The cellar-dwelling E b o n i t e s were the first team to win more than two points from the Playboys thus far in -the second half of the season as they registered a clean sweep.

Roaring Twenlies Theme Prevails Al Tonight's Jaycees Dance The Inter-Donnitory Council has "adopted" a child from Athens, Greece. Polyzoes or Zoes, as he is called for short, is a sturdy and active boy, who always gets the highest grades in every class he attends. This intelligent and diligent child is now the foremost pupil in the 5th grade of his Grammar School. His family's poverty has influenced this resourceful boy and made him more eager and impatient to make his way in life. His dream is to go through the University to become a scientist and more particularly to pursue a course in atomic studies. Dr. Farley has agreed to award a full-tuition scholarship including mom and board to Zoes when he reaches college age. His transportation costs will be paid by the IDC. Until he is ready to come to Wilkes, the IDC will support his secondary education in Greece with a yearly contribution which totals $150. This most promsiing boy looks smart in his picture, wearing a sweater, knitted by his mother, and khaki shorts, which he wears in the winter. He did not keep his coat on, through a certain innate sense of dignity, for it is very much the worse for wear. Zoes is very badly in need of proper clothing . Because of his great need for clothing the IDC is holding a drive to begin today. Contributions of new or unused cotton or woolen garments, wool yarn, cotton or woolen dry goods, school supplies, Polyzoes O.

The group will be chaperoned by Mr. George Elliot and Miss Mildred Gittins. by .Gloria Zaludek Theta Delta Rho Plans Tea in Honor of Incoming Frosh Class At last Monday's Student Government meeting, a discussion on the purpose and success of Friday evening college dances was entertained. It was pointed out that these affairs have degenerated from what they were originally intended to be - social functions. They have instead, it was noted, become very casual gatherings of both college age and high school age persons. Following this discussion which is to be continued after further investigation, a resolution was passed concerning this situation. (The text of this resolution can be found in the editorial of this issue.) The treasurer reported existing surpluses in both the Student Government account and the Extracurricular Activities account. Special committee reports included those from the Constitution Committee, the Student Organization Evaluation Committee, the Student Handbook Committee, the Student Government Dinner Committee, and the Elections Committee. Ted Begun of the Constitution Committee reported that the Constitution of the Class of 1964 was accepted as corrected, and that there were no other documents pending before his committee at present. Mike Bianco of the Student Evaluation Committee reported that he had a good turnout of volunteers for service on this committee from the student body. At -p resent this group is in the process of compiling and analyzing the data which they have obtained from two of their own to facilitate a more detailed, up-to-date evaluation of campus organizations and student leaders. Fred Smithson of the Student Handbook Committee reported that production of next year's handbook is going along as scheduled. He expects to have it at the printer's before the close of the semester. Lorraine Rome reported on plans for the annual Student Government Dinner. At this session it was decided that a buffet style dinner will be held at the Carousel Motel on May 8th at 6 :30 p.m. The cost is $2.00 per person. Each Student Government member will be allowed to invite a guest. Selected members of the administration are to be invited. Bill Raub of the Elections Committee reported that all arrangements for the holding and tabulating of class elections had been completed. He also proposed the suggestion for having regulation voting machines on campus for the facilitation of the all-college voting procedure and final tabulation.

Mrs. Saracino would like to see many more girls attend the practice session on Monday. �2 Friday, April 21, 1961 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIAL- Changes Urged In Dance Policy Editorials appearing in this paper have often expounded upon srnctent apamy in various aspects of college life. Among the most noted. is that of decreasing attendance over a eriod of years at the weekly dances in the gymnasium. This has presented a challenge to the organizations holding these dances. ::,ome have worKed with unusual themes, a popular musical group, and other drawing cards. For the most part, this type of ana1r is rmher successiul in attracting our college students. On the other hand., organizations have turned to musical and aavenising gimmicks to ctraw in high school students. We can not comp1eLely 0bJect to having tne local students on our campus for these social events. It gives them the opportunity to see one tacet 01 college lite which tney may participate in one day. however, we can not allow some of these students to attend. our dances if they come with the attitude of getting away wim conauct that would not be accepted at their own schools. !-"or example, the chaperones at a recent Friday night dance, and some 01 our smdems, were forced to ask several people to leave becouse of their unbecoming conduct. They were met wim a very belligerent attimde and subjected to needless humilimion. lncidems ot this nature are not about to improve the chances 01 obmining chaperones for these dances. ~mdent C..-overnment members, discussing the situation at this week's meeting, moved that: "The Student Government go on record as encouraging all organizations to use utmost discretion in holding social evems, and conduct these events on a mature level with the foremost purpose being to provide a social outlet for Wilkes students and their guests in accord with standards of Wilkes men and women, and that sport jackets be recommended for dances," W nether or not this recommendation will prevent any future disturbances depends on the "discretion" of the group sponsoring a sports dance. The last part of this motion is meant to discourage sloppy apparel on the part of students because people are prone to have more mature behavior when dressed properly. It was not the opinion of the body to prevent organizations from having special themes which encourage various costumes. It is our opinion that this motion should serve as a springboard for further consideration and re-evaluation of Student Government policies on the social calendar, with particular emphasis on the weekly dances. STUDENT SKETCH Letters to the Editor · · • Senior 0 De-:e ~~i: :embers of the Wilkes College Collegiate Council for the United Nations wish to report to all those concerned that the recently attended Model Gen eral Assembly, held in New York on March 24, 25, and 26 was a successful endeavor and very beneficial to our organization. We also wish to thank the administration and all those who made it possible for our group to attend this assembly. Their aid was greatly appreciated. Our deepest gratitude goes to Dr. Bronis Kaslas and Mr. Francis Pinkowski, our advisors, who guided and counseled us, unselfishly giving of themselves so that we might benefit from the experience of such a meeting. Respectfully, Wilkes College Collegiate Council for the United Nations · Editor, the Beacon Dear Sir: I would like to take this opportunity to express publicly my thanks to those people who helped make the Dave Brubeck concert the success that it was. The heads of the various committees: Mark Levy, Ronald Sebolka, -Conrad Wagner, Owen Frances, and Ted Begun devoted themselves to this project. To me, they were all . a chairman could wish or hope for: de_d icated, unselfish, original, and helpful. I would like to thank Mr. Clewell from PRO and Mr. Carter from the gymnasium for their help. To Barry Gin tel and Warren Hartman, I am very grateful. I woµld like to thank the students of Wilkes for their cooperation and our fine newspaper, the Beacon, for the coverage the concert received. A glance at the college calendar reminds us that there are Brent O'Connell Chairman only four weeks of classes remaining in this semester. It marks Students Asked To Participate a time when all of us are kept busy preparing for tests and the grand climax of the school year, final examinations. More than this, however, these last four weeks are also a busy time on the college activities calendar. The seniors and terminal students are hurriedly preparing for graduation, the Student Government Cinderella Ball is slated for the night of May 12, many campus organizations are planning banquets and final get-togethers, and numerous baseball games and other activities adorn the schedule for the latter part of the spring semester. Three of the four classes here at the college met yesterday for the primary purpose of nominating officers for the coming school term. On Tuesday, the classes will meet again to enable the nominees to acquaint their classmates with the qualifications which they possess for the offices to which they are aspiring. Despite the heavy burden placed upon students by scholastic and extracurricular activities at this time of the year, it is the duty of each member of the student body to be present at his respective class meeting on Tuesday and to make an intelligent decision regarding his selection of class officers for the coming year. It is also essential to the welfare of the student body that representatives be selected who are intelligent, reliable, and capable to serve on Student Government. Careful consideration should be given to the selection of officers and only after this is done should the student feel that he has fulfilled his obligation to his fellow students and to the college. Election day is Friday, April 28. It is indeed a busy time, but it is also a time when it becomes more important than ever that we do not neglect our responsibilities.

Dear Mr. Editor: It goes without saying that Wilkes profited enormously when Stark Hall _opened for classes in September, 1957. It offers to students in biology, chemistry and physics modern and well-equipped classrooms and laboratories. The conveniences both lecture halls offer need not be mentioned, since they are so obvious to all. Wilkes is honored to have a man like Admiral · -Stark on its Board of Directors, arid to be sure, his efforts made our science building possible. Out of gratitude to him, for his many services, his portrait is placed in this building for all to see. Some jackass, who most obviously is maladjusted and in need of help, drew a mustache · under the nose of the Admiral causing this once beautiful and expensive portrait to become marred. I hope the person or persons responsible for this act feel some remorse I do, and I am sure that I am not alone in this r espect . Yours truly, H erbert M. Kline (Continued from last week) Agra, like any of the former Moghul cities, has a huge walled~in fort, with marble palaces, gorgeous halls, mosques, gardens-, government buildings, usually erected near a river. Many of these Moghul forts were abandoned because the river changes its course - as the capricious Indian waters are in the habit of doing - or the water supply died out. Built on a little slope, all in red sandstone with marble dressing and intricate carving over doors and windows, every fort is a tourist attraction. We have seen a great number of them never stopping to marvel at the colorful past, even more amazing by contrast with the bleakness of today. Otherwise the city of Agra is no different than any other city in India. But Agra has the Taj Mahal. Standing in the middle of wellgroomed gardens, the Taj Mahal is a wonderous marble mausoleum erected in the 17th century by Coed to Continue Study In Biology Research Field by Jerry Shilanski The science department here at the college may not have a zoological park, but tucked away in a little comer of Stark Hall are twelve of the best fed and cared for rabbits that ever went to college. And who do they have to thank for their tender treatment? Non other than a senior coed by the name of Arlene Gallia, a biology major who has emphatically stated that she loves every bit of bunny in the building. However, she is a true scientist in every sense and has resigned herself to the fact that her charges have but one fate. Arlene's rabbits are destined to cooperate with Dr. Sheldon Cohen, associate professor of biology and a local allergy specialist on research in the field of immunology. Dr. Cohen is conducting research here at the college on grants from the national government and the Heart Fund. Arlene has been one of his student research assistants since last May. In talking with this rabbit-raising coed, this reporter sensed a great admiration for Dr. Cohen and his work, which has evidently influenced her decision to continue working in the research field after graduation. In this interview Arlene explained that at one time she considered the art field but was quickly converted to her real love, biology, after seeing the facilities of the newly-completed science building. She implied that at first she was not too keen on the idea of coming to Wilkes, but now her attitude has completely changed. She emphasized this by remarking, "I Arlene Gallia - - - - - - - - - - - - -- -,)'· am in love with Wilkes and feel that I wouldn't be satisfied at any Shah Jahan to his favorite wife other college.

Finnegan Award. The award was given to Bianco by Governor David Lawrence at a ceremony held in the State Capitol at Harrisburg. As holder of the award Bianco has the opportunity to work in a government office for the summer. He has received offers from both the governor's office and the Secretary of Labor and Industry but is, as of now, undecided as to his choice. Nearly one hundred students from colleges all over the state competed for the award, which is given annually by the James A. Finnegan Fellowship Foundation. This foundation was established in 1958 for two purposes: to honor the name of James A. Finnegan who at the time of his death in 1958 was one of the outstanding political leaders in the state, and to encourage young men and women of college age to follow careers in government and politics. There are a number of criteria used for picking the recipient of the award: scholarship, extracurricular activities, recommendations from faculty and college officials, and an essay regarding some aspect of the political life of James A. Finneg an. The award consists of a six weeks paid internship in some governmental or political office with a weekly stipend of $100 Michael Bianco a week.

Peace Corps headquarters has mailed samples of the questionnaires to presidents of 2,000 col. leegs and universities for campus distribution. Those who have written either to the Peace Corps office in Washington or to the President will automatically receive questionnaires directly in the near future. These questionnaires are also available at local Post Offices and will be distributed by the United States Department of Agriculture Directors of State Agricultural Extension Services for relay to their county agents. The questionnaire is four pages long and consists of 28 questions. It also asks prospective volunteers for a list of references. An instruction sheet is also attached. Areas covered by the questionnaire include: Education, job experience, proficiency in languages, technical skills, availability for Peace Corps service, special foreign area knowledge, health, military service, avocations, hobbies and athletic participation, organizational activity and leadership, and geographical preference for assignment. Charles Johns Accepted As Delegate to Summer Convention in Europe Convinced that he had no chance of being accepted, Charles Johns almost missed a six-week vacation in Europe next summer because he couldn't make up his mind to send in his application. A sophomore majoring in music education, Johns finally mailed his application late. Result? The application was approved and Johns will attend this summer's convention of the Methodist World Council in Oslo, Norway, as pne of two delegates from this area. Johns was graduated from Pittston High School in 1959 where he was active in the music organizations and the Oratorio Society and vice-president of the senior class. He has shown himself a leader both on campus and off participating in the band, the wind ensemble, the Chamber Music Group, and Oriental Theme Set For Tomorrow's Dance At Weckesser Hall by Cynthia Hagley A movement in space will occur tomorrow night at precisely 9 p.m. in W eckesser Hall. This is the hour when the men of Butler and the women of W eckesser will transport a little section of Wilkes to that faraway port of Shanghai. The social rooms of the coeds' dormitory will become a "Shanghai Shac-k " with bamboo slats, fish nets, and assorted Shanghai characteristics. Those in attendance may dress casually. Any type of sailor's apparel, and other appropriate costumes are suggested. The hosts and hostesses will serve mixed fruit drinks from a bar to further add to the oriental atmosphere. All this for a paltry 49 cents (they know that sailors are poor). Music for the evening will be rendered by Tom Kanos and his quartet, a group of our own campus students. Butler and W eckesser h a v e planned in great detail to make this a different and casual evening so, if you are looking for any outof-the-way place with an out-ofthis-world atmosphere to take you away from it all, bring your friends and swing.

Outfl.elder's Blast Sa1·1s . .eld Fen · ce Over Centerfl • At Kingston Stad1um Bob Ontko, s 1 u g gin g center fielder - third baseman on the baseball nine, is this week's Beacon "Athlete of the Week". Ontko was cited for his consistent hitting and run-producing bat in the Colonels' MAC contest against Ursinus. The speedy flychaser registered two hits in three trips to the plate and knocked in the Colonels' lone two runs with these timely hits. Figures being what they are, Ontko averaged a run produced every time he got a hit. The hustling senior started the Colonel scoring in the first when he sent a sharp single into left field to score Matt Himlin, last week's recipient of the Athlete award, from third base. This score ;ave the Wilkesmen a temporary ead. In t~e sixth inning O~tko brou~ht the chilled fans to their feet with a mighty b_last over the cen!er field fence. This tremendous drive carried over the 390 foot sign and landed in a Pierce Street market. A Kingston groundkeeper stated after the game that it was one of the longest home runs he has seen at the Kingston High field and had every indication that it would have been a round-trip blow in most major league parks. Ontko's performance in · the Ursinus game wa~ not : all offensive as his ball-hawking tactics robbed at least three Bears pf hits !).nd his shot-gun arm kept the Ursinus base-runners from attempting to take that extra base. Last season the sturdy performer was chosen to be the recipient of the "Outstanding Baseball Player" Award by his teammates. He led the Blue and Gold batsmen in circuit blows and triples and ranked behind Walt Folek in batting percentage. At the annual athletes' banquet held late last month, Marv Antinnes became the first athle1e at Wilkes to win the coveted "Athlete of the Year" award for two consecutive years. In addition to achieving this distinction, Antinnes also duplicated his accomplishment of last year by copping the most valuable player tropnies in football and wrestling, the Gallagher Memorial Award for football and a specia! athletic "honor roll"' award for superior and record-breaking performance in intercollegiate wrestling.

The amiable athlete held down the goalie post for Coach Jim Ferris' soccer forces last fall and was selected to a position on the Middle Atlantic Conference's Second All-Star team. The Elizabethtown soccermen, small college national champions, called Bob the best goalie they faced in regular season competition. This is the "Slugger's" fourth year of varsity baseball competition and was also familiar to college basketball as he wore the Colonel uniform on the hardwoods for two seasons. He is currently student teaching at Coughlin High School and will graduate this June with a B.S. degree in Secondary Education with a major in history. While in high school the Colonel co-captain led the Kingston baseball and basketball squads to league titles. He was chosen honorable mention all-Valley for his endeavors in both sports as a Huskie.

The only split of the night came between the first place Playboys and the fourth spot Screwballs. Top spot in the league's high series for the year changed hands as Jerry Chisarick rolled a 609 to dethrone Jerry Zeller, who had previously held the post with a 60·3. These are the only two 600 series in this year's action. Playboys 2, Screwballs 2 The absence of Bill Watkins from the Playboys' lineup was felt as the team lost the first two games but narrowly squeezed by in the third to make an even split. Joe Shemanski led the Playboys with 184-523. Barry Shevchuk's 168-484 helped carry the Screwballs to two wins. Tornados 4, Gutterdusters 0 The Tornados' sweep of four games carried the team from sixth into sole possession of third place. The win was a team effort as all five rolled consistent games several pins over their averages. Chisa- rick had games of 197, 210, and 202 to hit .his league high series. of 609. Paul £ankovich led the Gutterdusters with 504, with close support from Dave Guss with 492. Alley Cats 4, Ebonites 0 The Alley Cats got off to a fast start behind Jerry Zeller's 222 first game and were never threatened as they collected four from the cellar - dwelling Ebonites. This match just barely missed being placed on the books as only three men from each squad showed up for the evening's competition. Roger Rymer was top man for the Ebonites with 170-460. Boozers 4, Pinbusters 0 Howie Williams of the Boozers kept up his torrid bid for top average honors with a big 213-578. Regina Ritzie, the league's top woman bowler, chipped in with 180458. Emil Petrasek, in New York for the All College Tournament, was missed as the high score for his Pinbusters was registered by John Turner at 163-436.

In a move similar to that frequently seen at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, the twelve Wilkes students who represented the views of the Union of South Africa at the Annual Model General Assembly, stormed out of the assembly hall when intolerable economic sanctions were placed against their adopted country, because of its apartheid policies. The Wilkes chapter of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations was one of sixty-three groups representing colleges from all over the Northeastern part of the country. This year's assembly was held at the Hotel Commodore and the United Nations Headquarters in New York on March 24, 25, and 26. The first meeting of the assembly took place at the United Nations headquarters itself and was climaxed by an address given.by Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, who is now serving as a delegate to the United Nations from the United States. The group was later broken into smaller committees which discussed various current problems concerning the United Nations. . .

After an intermission the group ran through an arrangement of the W. C. Handy masterpiece, "St. Louis Blues". A Desmond written piece "Take Five" highlighted the relatively brief second half of the concert as Morello remained alone on stage for almost fourteen minutes, his drums drawing loud audience reaction as he brilliantly changed beat and tone, time and time again. Throughout the program, Mr. Brubeck's graceful fingers discovered many chord combinations, Paul Desmond captured the audience with his improvisation, and the sidemen, Wright and Morello, provided constant beat patterns. The overall result was highly favorable.

The jazz concert will consist of two full hours of contemporary jazz renditions of original compositions and "old time" favorites. Brent O'Connell, president of the Sophomore Class which is sponsoring the affair, and general chairman, has announced that it will begin at 8:30 p.m. Cooperation Planned In Areas of Interest The Student Govei·nment was host to King's Student Council on Monday night. The joint meeting was held to diiscuss areas of mutual -interest and areas where cooperation between the two colleges could be improved. It was ·ei:nphasized that the colleges cooperate in various areas at the present time, these areas including the debating tournaments, the chemical societies, the I.C.G., and .the library exchange program. Tl).e main topic of discussion during the evening centered around the resumption of King's-Wilkes athletic competition. Neil George of King's gave the history of the existing controversy as he understood it. It was decided that the conflict at the time of the break o'f athletic relationships between the colleges was based chiefly on the fact that King's did not then belong to the Middle Atlantic Conf erence and was not governed by the same rules to which Wilkes adhered. _ It was then pointed out that · · K1ng's has since become a member _of the Middle Atlantic Conference and is governed by the same rules that Wilkes follows. The problem of the double standard is thereby alleviated. : The question of damages caused by over-zealous s t u d e n t s was raised. The consensus of the King's students seemed to be that damages dii.d not create a serious problem; Wilkes students were less optimistic on this issue. lt was suggested "that; should competition be resumed, the students of both schools be reminded of their role in maintaining a reasonable calm. Bill Davis moved that a mutual recommendation be presented to both admiillistrations suggesting that athletic competition be resumed. Dick Buckley of King's -seconded the motion on the resolution. The resolution was passed unanimously. Other questions discussed by the group included: the possibility of a joint jazz concert, the functions of the respective student governments, the method of representing the · freshman class before class elections, areas of cooperation for community services, and the possibility of acquiring joint speakers. ·W ilkes' Student Government will travel to King's for a second joint meeting some time during the month of May. Kdngsmen attending the meeting included: Frank Harrison, Student Council -president; Bob McDonald, Student Council secretary and Senior Class president; Jim Grutko, Student Council treasurer; Douglas Kerans, Junior Class president; Neil George, Junior representative; Dick Buckley, Sophomore Class president; Vince Oina, Sophomore Class president; Bill Rooney, Freshman Cla:ss president; Howard Fedrick, Freshman representative; and Bernie Grzyb, editor of the Crown.

I The Dave Brubeck Quartet consists of Paul Desmond, Joe Morello, and Gene Wright, in addition ,t o Brubeck. The group has appeared at Carnegie Hall, Symphony Hall, Newport Jaz·z Festival, and New York Jazz Festival. The quartet has also played at such famous night clubs as Birdland, Blue Note, Storyville, and Town Casino. The repertoire of the group includes numerous contemporary jazz selections and "old time" favorites including "Indigo Blues", "Strange Meadowlark", "Swanee River", "Three to Get Ready", "Lonesome River", "Camptown Races' and "Old Man River". The group has made tours in Turkey, India, Pakistan, Ceylon, Afghanistan, Iran, and Iraq. Besides the various foreign countries, they have been to various college and unli.versity campuses throughout the nation. Dave Brubeck, the originator of the group, began as a concert pianist. However, the main product of the artist is jazz. He was one of the jazz stars chosen to salute Duke Ellington at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1958. One of his achievements us his ability to blend three cultures in some of his music-the formalism of classical western music, freedom of jazz improvisation, and the complex pulse of American folk music. He has even used a Turkish folk rhythm. His background as a concert pianist has affected the harmony of the group. However, it has been said by some critics that some of Brubeck's piano solos seem so far removed from melody and harmony that one doubts whether any return is possible. Brubeck started with a trio, but when Paul Desmond added his alto sax to the group, it became known as the Dave Brubeck Quartet. Desmond and Brubeck first met while they were in the army. After the war they met again in San Francisco and worked together. Their musical ideas blended so well that they have been generally recognized as one of the finest of jazz artists dn the use of counterpoint. Joe Morello, drummer for the Quartet, began his career with the Johnny Smdth Quintet. Later he worked with the Stan Kenton Orchestra, and joined Brubeck in October of 1956. He is considered a keen wit by the group and he hails from Springfield, Mass. The newest member of the Brubeck staff is Gene Wright, who joined the group in January, 1958. He joined the group in time for the U. S. State Department tour of the Middle East. Gene is considered an excellent 'Bunny Brawl' Is Theme of Education Club Pre-Easter Dance The last dance before the Easter vacation will be the 'Bunny Brawl', sponsored by the Education Club, in the gymnasium tonight from 9 to 12 p.m. Eleanor Brehm, chairman of the decorations committee, has announced that the gymnasium will be decorated in the Easter motif of gold and purple. Bobby Baird and his jazz ensemble will provide music for this dance. During intermission, the lucky ticket stub holder will receive a surprise door prize. The admission price is fifty cents. General chairman of the dance is Mary Ann Foley, vice-president of the Education Club and junior English education major. Assisting her are the following: band, Jan Bronson; decorations, Eleanor Brehm; refreshments, Bill Mulford; tickets, Rena Lewine; publicity, Leona Baiera. bass player by va11ious critics and musicians, and he has worked with other prominent groups before joining Brubeck. The Quartet tries to blend the practices of serious music with those of jazz. They improvise on harmony and rhythm as well as melody. Except for the set beginnings and endings, the players improvise wiith freedom. Owen Francis and Ted Begun, cochairmen of arrangements for the affair, announced that the seating capacity of 3200 persons will be provided 1n the gymnasium. Other arrangements have been made for the co-operation of the city police and fire departments. The police will supervise the parking situation. The publicity committee has also worked a great deal under the management of Mark Levy and Ron Sebolka. Approximately 500 posters have been distributed throughout the Valley and at various colleges. Wilkes College students have also appeared on the Lee Vincent radio program in behalf of the concert. Conrad Wagner, chairman of the ticket committee, has announced that 500 reserved seat tickets are on sale at the price of $3.50 each. The general admission is $2.00. The doors will open at 7 p.m. Soft drinks will be available during the intermission.

The women of Wilkes have voted to organize an Associated Women Students group on campus. This move was made at the special women's assembly held last Tuesday in the First Presbyterian Clubhouse. Associated Women Students has as its objective uniting the wonien of the college through self-government and the enlarging of their general education. This would be accomplished through various boards whose members would be selected by the women themselves. The organization also hopes to stimulate the interest of the women of the local communities in the college, and provide women students with the benefits of community work. XIIXIXXXJXXXIIIXXXXXXIXJ Dear Editor: Tonight one of my roommates went to an oratorio practice in Gies Hall and brought home a copy of the February 24 Beacon. My compliments on an excellent edition. You seem to have achieved something which is the aim of all college papers but also a very elusive goal a paper which draws reader interest as a magnet draws a row of pins. Your editorial was timely and hit hard at something which might be a tender spot within your own institution, yet its objective presentation avoided any possible offense. The editorial on King's vs. Wilkes was also timely, especially since Scranton will no longer provide the opposition for K,ing's "traditional rivalry" football game. I have seen and heard of the antics of both colleges over the "traditional" games and agree that unless a more mature attitude is displayed, King's and Wilkes are bett er without changing the status quo. The news articles were interest-ing even to me, a non-Wilkes student, so I am sure they were interesting to the members of your own student body. The letter to the editor provided an added feature which I enjoyed as much as your other feature articles. The "Ode on a Coffee Urn" was as good a take-off on Pope as I have read recently. S.ince our editorial positions run from February to February, I no longer get .the opportunity to read the Beacon each week. This is the first one I have read in several weeks and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Good luck to you and your staff on your future issues and keep up the good work.

WHAT - WHERE - WHEN - Student Activities Survey to Be Made by Evaluation Committee I Martha Menegus When time permits she enjoys reading, knitting, and an occasional set of tennis. "Marty", who lives with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Martin Menegus of 143 Lakeview Avenue, Clifton, New Jersey, ,i s a 1957 graduate of the C1ifton High School where she was a member of the National Honor Society, sergeant of Majorettes, . secretary of the band, and a member of the mathematics club, and Girls' Athletic Association. Coming to Wilkes in the fall of 1957, "Marty" quickly became active in campus life and was the recipient of the Women of WHkes Award. This :is an award which goes to the freshman girl with the highest scholastic average for the year. She has held a leadership scholarship for her four years here at the college and has been a Dean's List student. She was recently named to Who's Who Among Students of American Colleges and Universities. A resident of McClintock Hall since her matriculation here at the college, she was this year elected dormitory president. Her present position as secretary to the senior class is a fitting climax for a girl who has served on her class executive council for the past three years, and as secretary for the Student Government during her sophomore and junior years. She has also served as a secretary and vice-president for the Theta Delta Rho sorority. In answer to what she thinks of Wilkes, "Marty" remarked that she found her courses very good and well-rounded, because they tended to give even the business students a good background in English and liberal arts. She expressed her appreciation for the influence and encouragement she has received from many of her instructors. The biggest thrill of her college life, she feels, was the fact that she was able to make .the Dean's List in her first semester here by knuckling down and applying herself. "Marty" expressed the fact that she had observed much growth and many changes for the better here at Wilkes in four years as a student. She hopes that dt will always stay relatively small so that it may retain its friendly atmosphere in which students can get more attention and become more (continued on page 4) �Wil.I{f.S COLLEGE BEACON Friday, March 24, 1961 Colonel Netmen Strong; Anticipate Best Season, List Twelve Meets Rosen Gains Nalional Recognilion; Leads NCAA, NAIA al Foul Line Tornados Trounce Screwballs; Gulterduslers Slop Playboys The 1961 edition of ,t he Wilkes Away 3:00 18 Lycoming tennis team has begun its drills in 22 Dickinson Kirby Park with a promising turnHome 2-00 out of freshmen and other newHome 3:00 26 Su~que_hanna comers to bolster the returning Away 1:00 29 L~a1:on Val. lettermen.

The Screwballs were thus dumped into fifth place from their tied position for second with the Gutterdusters, who split with the Playboys to gain second place. In the Tornados' whitewashing of the Screwballs, Bob Hewitt and Jerry Chisari ck led the Tornado attack with near identical scores as they posted 200-490 and 169-488 respectively. Ed Clause was high man for the losing Screwballs with 190-458. In other competition the Boozers downed the Ebonites, 3-1, and the Alley Cats defeated the Pinbusters, \ 3-1.

Of course, all officers may apply for pilot and navigator training if they meet the eligibility requirements. There will always be a need for piloted aircraft. And it is foreseeable that in your working lifetime, there will be piloted spacecraft-piloted and navigated by Air Force officers. But right now, there is also a big future for college-trained Air Force officers on the ground. New and exciting technical jobs are opening up. Important administrative positions must be filled as World War II officers move into retirement. How can you-a college student-become an Air Force officer? First, there's Air Force ROTC. Then for college graduates, men and women in certain fields, there is Officer Training School. The graduate of its three-month course wins a commission as a sec• ond lieutenant. Other ways are the Navigator Train-· ing program, and the Air Force Academy. Some benefits that go with being an Air Force officer. Starting salary plus allowances compare with the average in equivalent civilian jobs. Then there's free medical and dental care, thirty-day vaca• tion, the chance to win graduate degrees at Air Force expense, and liberal retirement provisions. No, Air Force officers do not need wings to move up. There's plenty doing on the ground. Perhaps you could be one of these young executives in blue. Ask your local Air Force Recruiter. Or write, Officer Career Information, Dept.

Howie Williams bowled a big 199-569 for the Boozers and was assisted by Butch Kaplan with 190-521. Dave Sokira had a 190502 for the defeated Ebonites. In the Pinbusters' loss to the Alley Cats, Frank DiGennari rolled a 195 and 189 in the second and third games and finished with a 530 series as his team came from behind to down the Pinbusters. Emil P etrasek was high man for the losing team with a 199-535, the highest total of the night. Despite the fact that they split with the league-leading Playboys, the Gutterdusters gained the unique distinction of being the only team so far this season to win more than one point from the red-hot Playboys. The 'dusters won the final two games but could not overcome a 112 pin lead established by the Playboys in the first game. The high man for the Gutterdusters was Paul Bankovich with 191-478 while Joe Shemanski fired a 201531 for the Playboys. W L Pct.

After losing to Bloomsburg State College two weeks ago, the Colonel keglers came back strong last Sunday to defeat the Scranton Jewish Community Center Collegians at Jimmy's Lanes in Wilkes-Barre. In the Bloomsburg-Wilkes contest, the Teachers consistency overcame a fine 952 single game effort by the visitors. Bloomsburg's team total of 2599 was spearheaded by Russell's 205-559 and Criswell's 199-550. The other scores were Weber, 197-527; Gardner, 20,3-518; and Dantis, 162-445. Bloomsburg had ,t hree games over the 850 mark while Wilkes started very slowly, came roaring back, and then faded again. The middle game of 952 was the highest of the year for the Wilkes team as both leadoff man Joe Shemanski and anchorman Dave Sokira each topped the 200 mark. The Colonels' individual scores for the match were Watkins 182-512 • Pe,t rasek 180-509· Sh~manski '202504; Sokira, 2i6-475· and Chisarick, 167-486. ' Last Sunday the Colonels balanced their season's bowling record at the expense of Scranton's Jewish Community Center Collegiate team. Bill Watkins was the hero of the encounter as he put .together games of 235, 207, and 176 for an allseason record high of 617. Assisting Watkins' winning efforts was Dave Sokira with a 191538, Emil Petrasek with 205-508, Jerry Chisarick rolled a 171-454 and Joe Shemanski bowled a 145427. The Colonel pinmen again cracked the 900 mark, this time a 904 in the first game. Their 2544 three game effort proved to be too much for the hapless Scranton contingent. The Scranton squad had a great deal of trouble getting used to the alleys. Their last game, a respectable 880, was ,t he only game they managed to break 800. The visiting Collegians were led by Weinstein's 184-527 while Germaine rolled a 174-475, Fichter a 214-463, Reis bowled a 179-445, while Book came through with a 190-470. The Collegians have challenged the Colonels to a rematch, which will take place the Sunday after Easter in Scranton. Guard Leads Nation In Foul-Shooting With 91.3 Percentage Harvey Rosen Athletics at Wilkes got another pat on the back this week as Harvey Rosen was crowned King of the Foul Line. The scrappy sophomore guard gained national prominence as he was named leader in both the NCAA and NAIA ratings for his foul shooting percentage. Harvey made 105 free throws of 115 attempts to end the season with a remarkable 91.3 percentage from the foul line. This feat is further lustered by the news release of the National Basketball Association which named Bill Sharmen of the Boston Celtics as Ruler of the Free Throws with an 89.4 percentage. The best game the 6'1" guard registered from the foul line was in the season's finale against Rider when he dropped in twelve of 13 attempts to give the Colonels their necessary margin for victory. In 14 games Rosen had a spotless r~ord from the fo1;1l line and in eight contests he mISsed only one [ "charity thr?w·". , , 1'.'oul shootmg 1sn t Harvey s only claim to fame as he led the Colonel basketeers in scoring with a 17.9 point average.

ALONG THE BOOKSHELF Conlroversial Works Head Library's List of New Books by Gloria Zaludek Among the new books which the library has added to its collection of '·Reading and Enjoyment" is one which has produced cries of anguish and denial from many proponents of· our national ·system of values - 1'he Waste Makers by Vance Packard. ln this startling expose', the author shows how waste has become a virtue, and questions the morality . and economic validity of a system · that .practices "planned obsolescence" - artificially shortening the useful life of products. On the more practical aspect of money earning, the library offers a book entitled Hand Weaving for ' Pleasure and Profit by Harriette J. Brown. Written clearly and simply, this book introduces the reader to every operative aspect of twoharness-weaving, enabling an in. dustrious weaver to earn money and work his way through college! An undoubtedly controversial book concerned with one of the leading writers of our time, William l!'aulKner, is Quest for Failure by Walter J. Slatoff. The author contends that Faulkner is fascinated by a certain kind of relationship, one involving unresolved conflict and extreme tension. The deliberate ambiguity and irresolution in Faulkner's artistic intentions and t emperament engage him ,in a quixotic quest for failure. The Life of Hilaire Belloc, the sailor and the good companion, the violent individualist, the man who dared to prophesy the decline of all good things, the versatile genius (poet, satirist, historian) _ here is the authorized biography of Belloc by one who knew him, Robert Speaight. This is the story of a crook _ a characterless character which serves to put the reader on his guard against specious acquaintances. In Mr. Sponge's Sporting Tour, R. S. Surtees, the author who fears no one and rolls no logs, leads a r eader into an atmosphere as brisk as one of his hunting mornings, sharp and raw. Sur,t ees' book is highly unflattering to everything in sight - faces, trees, greasy plough _ but it is indeed a thoroughly bracing experience to a reader who appreciates a masterpiece quite different from ordinary fare. 1 Large WC Delegation To Attend Annual Model -PERSONALS UN General Assembly April Showers Ball to Be held at American Legion :::Sprmg scenes will provide the bacKground for--the April Showers Bau on April 14.

I �2 Friday, March 17, 1961 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIAL 111111111111111111111111 Horatio Alger Award We recently received some interesting material from an organization known as the "Horatio Alger Awards Committee of the American Schools and Colleges Association". The title of the committee means nothing, of course, if the name, Horatio Alger, draws a blank. Alger was a famous American author specializing in juvenile books. After graduating from Harvard in 1852, he settled in New York and became interested in the condition of self-supporting boys. He wrote approximately fifty novels on this subject. including "Ragged Dick", "Tattered Tom", and "Luck and Pluck" - all of which became very popular. Alger is also recognized for his series of juvenile biographies on the lives of such notables as Webster, Lincoln, Garfield, and others. Thus, to honor the name of Alger and to foster the American tradition of the opportunities and rewards for initiative, ability, and hard work, the committee was formed approximately fifteen years ago. Some of the previous winners of the Alger Awards have been: J. C. Penney, Bernard Baruch, C. L. Kettering, Charles E. Wilson, Adolph Zuker, Benjamin F. Fairless, Joyce C. Hall, Clifford Hood, Dr. Milton Eisenhower, Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, and Herbert Hoover. Ballots for this year's Horatio Alger Award conduc:ted by the American Schools and Colleges Association have been mailed. Wilkes has received five ballots. Eighteen outstanding Americans are listed on the ballot from which nine are to be chosen. Those students who are sincerely interested in taking part in the selection of the award winners are invited to drop into the Beacon office and pick up a ballot. The deadline for submitting the ballots is March 31, and we again remind you that we have only five ballots. Ballots will be distributed on a first-come-first-served basis. We expect some response!

Folek, subject of band, Dr. Stanko Vujica, who is this week's "student sketch", it is the opinion of this reporter studying on a Fulbright grant. * :;: :;: that the future will find Walt somewhere in the city of New York Dear Cynthia: Often I become very sad when evening falls over Lahore. There is a blue-gray haze in the air, and the birds, nestling in the mangotrees, twitter their evening song. The muezzin calls for prayer, and in this holy month of Ramazan, at sunset the Muslim breaks his fast; the streets are deserted, as everyone is at home preparing for the m eal. The dust grows darker and softer. Only the monotonous rhapsody of the crickets breaks the sudden, weird silence. This is the time to take account of the day and put into one's notebook impressions and thought. Leafing through my notebook, I . find a number of topics about which I intended to write, but the subject which is uppermost in my mind and which keeps coming back to me is the position of the woman in the Orient. I don't think I shall ever be completely happy after having seen that half of the population of the teaming Orient are in a state worse than that in which slaves ever lived. As one prominent Pakistani woman, the only woman in the legislature, said, "The greatest slavery that the world has ever known and that the twentieth century has to conquer, is the subjugation of the women." V erY seldom do women venture into the outside world. When they do, they are scared, bewildered, and terribly curious, almost dumbspelled. There are many pleasant things in this land - flowers in a riot of colors, marble palaces, exotic birds, a stroll along the flowering wheat fields, or a lazy chat in a tea-stall, but not for the secluded women: their faces are covered, their minds are closed and their hearts are afraid. To illustrate, let me relate a few personal experiences. She was accompanied by an older gentleman and a little girl. As she was signing her check, she lifted her veil, and I saw her deep eyes, full of unspeakable sadness. She smiled meekly, and I asked her if the man next to her was her husband and if the child was her daughter. The question was not unusual, because very often you can see a very old man married to a child-bride. She told me that he was her father; her husband h:i,d just sent her back home. No formalities were required by Muslim law - she was simply told to leave. The reason given was that she bore him four daughters, and no son. "He does not support me or the children, and he does not give me a divorce either. He says that he is punishing me for not having sons." She spoke in adequate English, being a graduate of a women's college in Lahore. "He got married to a young woman." "How many sons did she 'give' him?" I asked. She smiled shyly. "They don't have children." "My t w o grandfathers a r e brothers," a rich Pakistani begum told m e. "My parents are first cousins, and all my children married their cousins. This way, ..." she added with a tone of pride in her voice, "the men keep the wealth in the family." Raj, our cook's wife, is twentyfive years old, and they already have five children. She is a Christian, an.d does not cover her face, but otherwis~ her life is just as drab and secluded as that of her sisters. The . Christians are converts from the lowest caste, the former untouchables, and they belong to the poorest segment of the population doing only menial work if they are lucky to find it. I met Niget, a young college girl, who was engaged to a rich boy she has not yet met. She will see him for the first time when she moves into his house. Whenever . . . either on Wall Street or Yankee Stadium. However, whether it be a stock exchange or the infield, we at Wilkes will surely hear of this versatile senior commerce and finance major. It is largely through his efforts that a defunct program which originated here at the college in 1956 has been revitalized. As chairman of the Economics Club's stock committee, Walt explained that his committee's purpose is to create an interest in the investment field and the buying of stocks. One of its primary aims at the present is the investment of approximately $250, which the Economics Club raised through raffles and other money-making projects. Plans are being made ,t o invest this money in the stock of such companies as Sperry-Rand, Ronson Corporation, and the Peabody Coal Company. Dividends from this investment will revert to the club. From the athletic standpoint, this Wilkes-Barre Township resident has been a valuable asset to the college baseball team since he came to Wilkes as a freshman in January of 1958. · Wait recalls playing third base that year with his present coach, Mike Dydo, holding down "first". Folek, now 25·, says that they probably had one of the oldest teams in college baseball that year, since nearly the whole team was made up of veterans. He has played varsity ball for the . past three years and is looking forward to a good season for himself at second base and a winning team for Wilkes. Walt, a 1953 graduate of WilkesBarre T own s h i p High School, played four years of baseball and two years of football. He entered the U. S. Navy immediately upon graduation. He spent four years in the service at various bases across the country and completed most of his last two years aboard the large attack carrier, USS Saratoga, CV A60. During his · tour of duty he rose to the grade of Aerographer Second Class, a nd was trained by the Navy to do weather forecasting. While he was stationed on the Atlantic Coast, he visited "ports of call" in Scotland, England, France, and Cuba. It was during his enlistment in the Navy, when he put some of his savings into a mutual stock fund, that be became interested in the investment field, and he decided to enter college. Walt has accelerated his program here at Wilkes by attending summer sessions, and he will graduate in June, after having spent only three and one-half years in college. He hopes to work in the New York area as an investment researcher, and to continue his education at night, so that he might Walt Folek receive his master's degree and realize the long range plans of becoming an investment analyst. Folek feels that the liberal education that he received here has provided him with the basic tools for entering the business world. He was particularly appreciative of the help he received from his instructors in the Commerce and Finance department. He added that he has thoroughly . enjoyed his years at Wilkes and would choose it ·again for his undergraduate work, if he had to do it. However, one change that. he . would like to see m ade in the business curriculum is ,t he requirement of the six semester· hours to twelve semeste~ hours in accounting. He reasoned that by doing so the business student would find the advanced courses in accounting very beneficial. Among the other activities in which Walt participates are the Society for the Advancement of Management, of which he is the treasurer, and the Lettermen's Club. He has also worked at various jobs during his summer vacations. Last summer he served as playground instructor for Wilkes-Barre Township, where he resides . with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph K. Folek of 62 Spruce Street. Cue 'n' Curtain Plans Spring Performances by Mary Frances Barone The Cue 'n' Curtain has a numerous amount of activities planned to finish the season.

Now that swimming, basketball, and wrestling competition have been brought to their natural ends and before we are subjected to batting averages, love sets, pars, birdies, and fielders' choices, it is well to examine the efforts of the three winter sports mentioned above. The brightest spot of all is, of course, wrestling. The dieters and orange-eaters retired from the mat with an unblemished record of nine wins and no losses and capped the season by taking the Middle Atlantic Conference tournament at Moravian College. The two toughest meets were against Hofstra and Lycoming Colleges, with Moravian threatening an upset by moving its men down a weight class in an effort to bring more strength to bear against the Colonels. The Moravian meet was highlighted by draws and the pin victories by Harry Vogt and Marv Antinnes were the deciding factors. Marv Antinnes broke Jim Ward's old records in number of points scored and consecutive victories. Marv racked up 146 points scored and won 36 while losing only one match in dual meet competition during his four years of collegiate wrestling. Marty Strayer turned out to be the surprise of the season. He went undefeated and has only a draw to mar his record. The 157-pounder went on and took the title in his weight class at the MAC tourney. A smooth operator on the mat, it is a distinct pleasure watching this freshman at work against an opponent. The support given the wrestlers by the student body has been particularly good during the season. Large crowds at Lycoming and Moravian attest to the squad's loyal following. The basketball team was off to an impressive start at the beginning of the season but early in December hit a snag and lost its winning record. Coupled with an illness to Ron Roski and the loss of Bernie Kosch through graduation were the opponents' ability to use fast breaks and fancy passing to great scoring advantage. Harvey Rosen was the dark horse at the beginning of the campaign but emerged as the most outstanding performer. The consistent play of Roski and Gavenas after the Christmas holidays, with Roski handling the backboards and Gavenas dumping in his accurate set shots, led the way. The team began to function smoother and defeated Rider to end the 7-14 season on a winning note. The swimming team was beset by lack of experience and the loss of two of its best men for a considerable part of the season. Art Eckhart contracted infectious mononucleosis after having participated in only two meets and John Miller, diving ace, severely injured his leg in a practice dive. Despite the fact that Miller won three out of the four diving events in which he participated in addition to aiding in the freestyle relay, the three meets in which he did not participate would not have gone the other way if he had been able to swim. Roger Rolfe and Dick Bender garnered most of the scoring while Eckhart matched his own SO-yard freestyle record. Needless to say, the team can only improve from here on in.

While the Department of State in Washington has continuous openings for stenographers and typists, the urgent need is for secretaries and stenographers fo r the Foreign Service, and there are also positions in the Foreign Service for communications clerks. "Our Foreign Service •is expanding with the creation, in the last year, of several n ew independent r epublics, and with the prominence of the United States in world. affairs," said Miss Chalker. "This o.ffers increased opportunities to those persons who have . a real desire to serve their country in a much-needed .capacity. While living conditions are often quite different from those at home, and while duties may be routine in nature, the majority, by far, of Foreign Service p e r s o n n e 1 find their greatest r ewards in t erms of service to their country, opportunities for the development of their understanding of the customs and pr oblems of other peoples, and the challenge of adapting themselves to new situations in an exciting, behind-the-news atmosphere." "These are civilian jobs in embassies and consulates, with starting pay ranging from $334 to $375 a month, supplemented by overseas allowances and offering six weeks of paid home leave in the United States between each two-year tour of duty." How does one qualify for such a position in the Foreign Service? Basically, Foreign Service secretaries, with beginning salaries of $4,495 annually ,must type 50 words a minute and take shorthand at 96 . Stenographers starting at an annual salary of $4,010 must type at 50 and take shorthand at 80 words a minute. Communications clerks, with the same starting .salary as stenographers, must type 45 words a minute. Preference for the communications clerk position is given .to male applicants. All must be at least 21 years of age, high school graduates with office experience, single with no dependents, in excellent health, and American citizens for at least five years. In order to qualify for positions in the Department of State in Washington, D.C., they must be at least 18, and American citizens in good health. A typist must have a speed of 40 words a minute and a stenographer must type 40 and take shorthand at 80 words a minute. Beginning salaries range from $3,500 to $4,345 annually. Interviews will be conducted in Philadelphia from M arch 20 through March 30, Pennsylvania Employment Service Office, 1218 Chestnut Street, 9 :00 a.m. to 4 :00 1 p.m., Monday through Friday; Wednesdays, until 7:00 p.m.; and Saturday, March 25, until 12 noon.

"Patents have been issued for filtered glass, filtered gas, filter tip pens, and the ever-present filter tip cigarettes. "An even more serious type of filtering is carried out by the patriotic ·societies, religious groups, and special interest cliques who regulate the press, .television, and radio to filter away the undesirable. Communications media must express the safe, the sound, the right viewpoint. Indelicate thoughts, unpretty language, and tabooed topics are filtered out - they must not be discussed and debated before the easily offended American public. "Where and how ·often may one hear an unbiased television discussion of socialized medicine, of recent improvements within Red China, of birth control, or of euthanasia? "Our educational system which also reflects the 'filtering' trend of our culture indoctrinates young and growing minds with the values and mores o four society. And through the process of public school education the student gets the impression that it is b etter to study and have unquestioning faith in the principles of 'our two-party system,' of 'Christianity', of the 'American Way' than to examine the 'undesirable ideologies,' the 'unChristian' philosophies, the 'unsound' ideas · for truth. "Castroism, Communism, Socialism, agnosticism, atheism, Hinduis, Mohammedism, or the beliefs of the classical philosophers can offer no wor thwhile values for the right way of life - the American, the Christian way. "Do you feel uncomfortable, offended, resentful .a t the mere mention of these ·isms?" If so, you may be a victim of filterism. "The searching mind, the open mind - the mind not conditioned to the automatic acceptance of the good and the true as directed by our society - retains its individual identity, its awareness of a multiplicity of choice, and its stimulation from a challenging and exciting world. " Yet the realization of an open and inquiring mind is a major goal of higher education - to teach the student to think for himself and not be merely a stereotyped record, a mimic, an elaborate filtering machine. "Or is what 'They' say correct after all ? - That questioning the 'traditional truths', the 'eternal truths' and looking for other answers; other explanations, and by Joyce Cary This novel is the final part of Joyce Cary's trilogy consisting of Herself Surprised, To Be A Pilgrim, and The Hurse's Mouth. The trilog y tells the stories of three people, the engaging amoralist Sara Monday, her eccentric lover Thomas Wilcher, and the renegade artist Gulley Jimson. Each of the characters relates events from his own viewpoint and familiarity with the trilogy increases one's appreciation of the individual novels. . In The Horse's Mouth we meet Gulley Jimson, a delightful cut-up who lives to paint. At sixty-five he has the freshness and candor of a child. His days are spent "borrowing" painting materials from the local store in addition to evading the police. His frequ ent visits to the prison are spent in the spiritual companionship of his erstwhile inspiration, Billy Blake. Sara Monday, his former lover, is an old coquette who still puts LITYLE MAN ON CAMPUS THE HORSE'S MOUTH Gulley in a flutter on occasion. Much of the novel reverts to Gulley's memories of the days when he and Sara lived, loved and created ar.t together. At that time Gulley pr oduced his finest work. But the present finds him frustrated in his attempts to paint. His mind overflows with ideas, yet he lac,ks the money and materials to put them down on canvas. Cary gives us the picture of an artist. Gulley's whole life is art. If he has a piece of paper, he begins to sketch; if he finds a good wall he begins to paint. He is perfectly amoral, inconsiderate and delightful. He is not a paper character but an alive being-type artist. Sara also is a renegade. She is naive and calculating, thoroughly b elievable and most endearing. Cary's genius for creating real people is well illustrated. His character s become an art of the r eader's memory pattern, as if they w ere next door neighbors.

Sophomore Class to Kick Off Jazz Concert; Shubert Gives Album Junior Class Launches Dinner Dance as First Social Function Manuscript Fine Stands· Student Govt. Upholds ' Activities Regulations by J. L. Shilanski After considering an appeal made by Kurt Roberts, president of the Manuscript Society, the Student Government voted to uphold its previous verdict. The Society will be fined twenty dollars for failing to comply with the Student Goveernment's policy on the submission of an activities form for all open functions held on campus and for not obtaining permission from the organization which had been awarded that particular calendar date. The Manuscript Film Society neglected to file the proper forms for the showing of The Idiot, which was held February 24, the sam e evening as the Lettermen's Cherry Tree Chop. However, no definite date has been set for final payment of the fine and the society still has the prerogative to refer this decision to the Court of Appeals. At Monday's meeting plans for th e forthcoming Spring Weekend and the Cinderella Ball were also discussed. The Weekend of May 12-14 has been chosen and will begin with the Cinderella Ball on Friday evening. After much discussion a motion to make the attire for this dance formal was carried by a 9-4 majority. Herbie Green has been engaged to provide music. Price of the tickets will be $2.00 per couple. It was announced that a Student Leaders Conference will be held on March 13 in the cafeteria beginning at 6 :30 p.m. All student leaders are asked to attend this meeting, at which will be discussed topics of interest to all. Two new committees w ere appointed. Mike Bianco will head a committee to be known as the Student Organization Evaluation Committee. Plans are being made to conduct a survey on student leadership here on campus, and it is expected that this survey will continue into next semester. The other committee formed Monday night was a Committee to study the parking facilities and to see what can be done to aleviate the parking p r o b 1 e m. Betsy Hoeschele was appointed chairman of this committee. Plans for a joint meeting or seminar of the Wilkes and King's College Student Governments to be held in the near future were also discussed. It was decided that topics of mutual concern should be considered. It was noted that the Student Government Office has recently been redecorated and a suggestion to send a letter of appreciation to members of the crew will be enacted. Betsy Hoeschele reported that arrangements for Student Government Pins had been made. This year's pins will be engraved with the words Student Government rather than Student Council. Jim Walters, treasurer of the organization, moved to transfer the necessary funds from the Student Government treasury to the treasury of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations so that the club might attend the Model General Assembly, to be held in New York later this month.

Mike Bianco, junior political science major, is a candidate for the office of Regional Speaker with a large bloc of votes pledged to Wilkes. The Speaker's main job is to preside at the general assembly. Also at the Executive session, the proposed Constitution for the region will be discussed and voted on. After the Executive session the Legislature will meet. For this session, each delegate will be assigned to one of five committees. These committees will be: Labor and Industry; Health, Education and Welfare; Highways, Transportation, Agriculture, and Natural Resources; Judicial and Congressional Reapportionment; and Taxation and Finance. Each committee usually introduces and debates three bills concerning its particular area. All of the bills have been written by the students themselves. Bills are then sent to the Gen eral Assembly for discussion and vote. Dinner will be served to the delegates in the cafeteria after adjournment of the Legislative session. Syracuse University were also made available. Immediately preceding the business meeting Bill Davis, parlimentarian of the Student Government, led the group in a workshop on parliamentary procedures. Activity forms accepted this month were as follows: Manuscript Film Society, showing of Little Fugitive to be held in Stark Hall March 17; Senior Class Sham Rock Dance, March 17 in the gymnasium; Chapman-Ashley Dormitory to be held in Chapman Hall on March 11; and the Sterling-Barre Dormitory, April 28. Members present at this month's meeting were: Betsy Hoeschele, Beverly Major, Bill Davis, Mike Bianco, John Hosage, Rich Rees, Carol Thomas, Ted Begun, Lorraine Rome, Jim Walters, Tom Schaffer, Lou Coopey, and Fred Smithson. As an added touch just to show that the Student Government is not made up of a bunch of "dead heads" who lack humor, Mike Bianco moved that a sympathy card be sent to President John Hosage in consideration for his administrative problems. The motion was unanimously carried. At 1 :30 the General Assembly will meet to debate and vote on the bills returned from the Legislative Committees. Dean George Ralston, Mayor Frank Slattery, and representatives from the Democratic and Republican caucuses were invited to address the General Assembly by Mike Bianco, Northeastern Regional Director. This conference is being held in preparation for the State Convention of the I. C.G. in Harrisburg, to be held on April 13-15. The purpose of the organization is for the students to learn government •b y participation. �Friday, March 10, 1961 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 2 Wilson Fellowships Awarded To Future College Professors 'Manuscript' Sets Dates For Literary Art Work Deadli~e sTuDENT 5K;TcHEs • PRINCETON, N.J., March 10-The Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation today named 1,333 students from 381 colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada as Woodrow Wilson Fellows for 1961-62, the largest number ever elected by the Foundation in its 15-year search for prospective college teachers. In announcing the 1961-62 winners, Sir Hugh Taylor, President of the Foundation, estimated the total value of this year's awards at $3,000;000. The fellowships cover the first year of graduate study and are meant to encourage the newly-elected fellows to consider college teaching as a possible career. Nominations for these highly-competitive awards are made by the students' professors. Screening of candidates also is done by 15 regional committees drawn from the academic profession. Winners were chosen from 10,453 nominees, representing a 21 per cent increase over last year and a five-fold increase since the program was expanded in 1957 by a $24,500,000 grant from the Ford Foundation. "The unprecedented increase in the number of nominees," Sir Hugh said, "has enabled us, after the keenest of competitions, to recruit young people who possess the highest qualities of intellect and character, and particularly those who had never thought of a professional career, or at least were undecided about it." More than 23 fields of study, nearly all in the humanities and social sciences, are represented by this year's winners. Those in mathematics and natural sciences represent 15.9 per cent of the total. The winners, of whom 28.2 per cent are women, will be enrolled in 90 different graduate schools in this country and Canada. The Foundation accorded Honorable Mention to 1,614 others. A list of their names, fields of study, and their undergraduate colleges has been sent to the deans of all graduate schools in the United States and Canada and to the Foundation's faculty r epresentatives on 1,126 campuses. On the basis of past experience, the Foundation anticipates that most of those winning Honorable Mention will receive alternate awards either directly from universities or from other organizations. Dr. Hans Rosenhaupt, National Director of the Foundation, noted the following points about this year's competition: 1. Larger numbers are turning to college teaching as a "prestige" career despite opportunities to earn more in other fields. 2. More students of outstanding ability are being recruited from hundreds of colleges indicating the high quality of education in many lesser-known schools. 3. Candidates are choosing their graduate schools on the basis of their own needs rather than the general prestige of the institution. Inconsequence, their choices of graduate school represent a larger list than ever before. In addition to the awards for first-year graduate study, the Foundation annually makes subvention payments totalling nearly $2,000,000 to the various graduate schools where Woodrow Wilson Fellows enroll. Three-fourths of the fund must be used for second-year awards to graduate students regardless of whether they are Wilson Fellows. The remainder may be used at the discretion of the graduate schools to improve library facilities, raise faculty salaries, provide counseling services, or otherwise to improve their program of study. Since the Fellowships program began, the Foundation has elected a total of 5,608 Woodrow Wilson Fellows, including those announced today. At the recent meeting of the Manuscript Association, the membership considered the possibility of extending the deadlines for the acceptance of manuscripts and art work. It was decided that the deadline for art work will be ext ended until March 31 and the deadline for manuscripts until April 8. These deadlines must be met if the publication is to be ready for distribution on campus during the third week of May. Students wishing to submit manuscripts may give their work to any member of the Manuscript Association or may drop their entries into the Manuscript mailbox n ear the back door of the Library. Students interested in having their art work published may either give their contributions to the Manuscript members or submit them to the art department where they will be kept until the judging of art work to be held in Conyngham Annex on Tuesday, March 21. The election of works to be published will be left to the discretion of the editorial board. Students are reminded that prizes will be awarded at the A wards Assembly to the students who have submitted the most outstanding contributions in the fields of poetry, the short story, the essay, and art. Manuscripts already submitted are presently on file in the Library where members may read and evaluate them at their leisure upon presenting the librarian with proper credentials as bona fide members of the Manuscript. by J.

WISE POTATO CHIP PLANT Members of the Accounting Club w ere g uests of the Wise Potato Chip Company last Friday. The students, led by Leonard Reese, toured the Berwick plant and business offices. The tour began in the conference rooms of the firm with a showing of a film on the actual production of potato chips. The students then proceeded to the general offices where they obs-erved the various procedures and techniques used by the business offices. The most interesting aspect of the tour was the operation of the IBM "Ramac" computer which analyzes and retains production data with its electronic memory. A visit to the Internal Revenue's district office in Scranton in the near future is the next field trip on the agenda for the Accounting Club members and their guests. · Percussion V1rluoso Plans lo Further Education in Music While rambling about the campus this week, looking for a likely subject, who we could immortalize in the annals of the Beacon, we came across a percussion virtuoso, lurking in the gables of Gies Hall. He is none other than Harry S. Owens, a senior music education major, who as rumor has it can play anything you can hit and get quite a bang out of life doing it. Owens, a resident of Forty Fort, Pennsylvania, has been beating the drums for more than ten years, and is the winner of the DeWitt Music A ward, presented annually by the Forty Fort High School to its outstanding music student. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Evan Owens and the eldest of their three children. He has a brother who is a freshman at Wesleyan University in Connecticut and a younger sister. Immediately after graduating from high school in 1957 Harry entered the Music Education curriculum at Susquehanna University. He transfered to Wilkes after his first semester and has since become a valuable asset to the growing Music Department here on campus. He is president of the Concert Band; Secretary of the Collegians; Secretary of the local chapter of the Student Music Educators National Conference; a member of the Harry Owens Mixed Chorus; Percussion Ensemble; and the Wind Ensemble.

He was awarded this honor in a poll of the coaches of the 18 teams •entered. This marks the second time he has been named Beacon "Athlete of the Week", having gained it earlier in the wrestling season. A 1959 graduate of Meyers High School, he was regional wrestling champion twice and while at Wyoming Seminary won his weight class championship at the annual prep school tournament held at Lehigh University. A sophomore biology major, Brooke can be looked to in the future to provide the same outstanding performances he has turned in this season.

EYEGLASS DRIVE PROGRESS The Economics Club's annual eyeglass collection campaign is proceeding on schedule and collections have been good. Jim Allen, chairman of this year's drive, reports that students on campus and the public in general are .contributing generously. According to Allen every type of spectacles has been received from monacles to the fanciest bi-focals of today. Contributions have been made in boxes especially provided for that purpose; the containers last week were placed on campus and members of the Eyeglasses Committee personally manned pickup stations on Public Square. T h e eyeglasses contributions were spurred last week by a display on Public Square by the American Optometries Society. Students who wish to contribute discarded spectacles will find containers in conspicuous places on campus next week. C.C.U.N.

The party will shake the rafters of Chapman Saturday night from 9 to 12. Everyone is invited to the gala affair and is, of course, expected to dress in the proper Hillbilly attire. A donation of 35 cents will be collected at the door. Ashley Hall~ will enliven the brawl with a surprise entertainment to be presented at intermission.

In a rare venture beyond that of producing a newspaper. the Beacon took on the task, last week, of sponsoring Glamour magazine's "Best Dressed Coed on Campus" contest. The response from the student body and from the general public was beyond our fondest expectations. The fact that the contest itself was a success was evidenced by a turnout of approximately 250 fashion enthusiasts despite the inclement weather. As anyone who has ever worked with or organized a fashion show would know, it takes the full cooperation of quite a few people to insure a smooth program. We did not have many in number, but those who worked with us on a purely voluntary basis put in many hours "above and beyond the call of duty". The contestants, themselves, would no doubt wish us to express our sincere thanks to Mrs. Juanita Miller who, along with her smooth, professional commentary, helped each girl "put her best foot forward" with some valuable tips.

Varied Prorgam Planned For Freshman Weekend WHAT - WHERE - WHEN - The subject of this week's student sketch is Patricia Boyle, senior co-ed, who will graduate in June with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. I talented Miss Boyle, a 1957 honor graduate of Hanover Township High School, was the recipient of an academic scholarship upon her matriculation at Wilkes. She began as an art major, but decided, in her fourth semester, that her real interest was in the English field. Pat has since accumulated fifty-five credits in English, fifteen credits beyond that required for an English major, which would seem to indicate that she is happy in her present field. However, her interest in art has not been neglected. She continues to paint, sketch, and do woodcuts. Some of her work has appeared in the Manuscript and in campus exhibitions. Pat also finds time to design and make many of her own clothes. _______ The eldest of the seven daughters of Mr. and Mrs. James F. Boyle of Hanover Green, Pennsylvania, when asked, "What do you do in your leisure time?" replied, "Who has U leisure time?" This remark may be partially due to the fact that Pat is a staff member on all three camt, . ' pus publications.

Many students, particularly those who are not properly considered liberal art students, could broaden their education ·by participating in and attending the programs sponsored by the Art, Music and English departments." Although Miss Boyle is undecided about the immediate future, her long range plans include graduate study and teaching. jor problems facing the U.N. Dr. Price, who is a nephew of Dr. Eugene S.

He stated that the United Nations organization is the only hope for dealing effectively with these problems.

It will be the last game for the four members of the team slated for June graduation; Eddie Kemps, John Salsburg, and co-captains Ron Roski and Clem Gavenas. The Davismen dropped a 105-92 decision to East Stroudsburg State College last Saturday at East Stroudsburg. It marked the first time this season that scoring by either team in a Colonels' contest has gone over the 100 mark. Harvey Rosen led all scorers with 29 points. Ron Roski had 22 for the Colonels, Ed Kemps had 13, Tom Pugh and Clem Gavenas each had 12 and Steve Gerko had four. Their home finale was a winning effort as they downed Rutgers of South Jersey at the gym Monday night, 98-83. After overcoming an early 6-2 Pioneer lead, the Colonels opened up with a wild scoring spree with Gavenas and Roski leading the way. Halfway through the opening half Tom Pugh connected for three consecutive jump shots to give the Blue and Gold a 34-17 lead. The two teams matched baskets for the remainder of the first half and at the between-halves break Wilkes held a comfortable 48-29 lead. After an apparently inspiring talk from their coach, the Pioneers came back strong in the second half and used a full-court press to keep the Colonels busy. The Rutgers team cut the Colonels' lead from 23 points down to seven by midway in the half, 74-67. The Colonels again began to pull away as speedster Kemps and Harvey Rosen worked effectively against the press. Kemps and Rosen offset the aggressive Pioneers' drives as they dumped in 15 fouls in the last twelve minutes to maintain the Colonels' scoring edge. Six men hit in the double figures for the Colonels. Harvey Rosen led the team with 20, Clem Gavenas and For his salient performance in leading the Colonel cagers to a hard-fought 98-83 home finale victory over Rutgers of South Jersey, Ron Roski was chosen this week's Beacon "Athlete of the Week". Tornadoes .Blank 'Cats; Playboys Lead Pack, Williams' 211 Sets Pace The 6'-4" co-captain registered a 17-point scoring outburst with eight goals and a foul and was a "bull of the boards" as he pulled in 18 rebounds. This eminent display of basketball ability was rounded out by his great defensive play illustrated in his many blockings of Rutgers field goal shots. This is "Big Steve's" fourth season in the Blue and Gold ranks and his third season as a starter. During his freshman year he played in the limelight of Wilkes' all time great, George Morgan, and was thrown in the center post to replace Morgan during his sophomore year. The pressure on Ron was great but he fulfilled his role as "big man" of the Davismen. Last year the amiable cager hit a high point by leading the Colonels to a near .500 season and was counted on to be the leader of the '60-'61 squad. He started the season with a bang and led the basketeers to a 3-1 record. Shortly after the Christmas vacation he was stricken with a stomach disorder and was unable to carry the leadership load as the Colonels faltered. In the last three weeks Ron has regained his stature and has led the Colonels to wins over Lycoming and Rutgers and to near-victories over Drexel, Elizabethtown, and Upsala. "Big Steve" is a graduate of Plymouth High School where he won All-Star ratings in football and Ron Roski each had 17, Ed Kemps 14, Tom Pugh eleven, and Steve Gerko had ten. John Salsburg and Dick Morgan rounded out the scoring with five and four points respectively. The wrestling team is at Moravian College in Bethlehem this weekend to defend its MAC wrestling championship for the fourth consecutive year. Marv Antinnes and Dick Staulfer will both be defending their titles for the second straight year. The squad brought the curtain down on another undefeated season last Saturday afternoon at the gym as they downed a strong C. W. Post team, 24-6, for their 29th consecutive dual victory and third straight undefeated season. · The only Colonels to be defeated were Mike Armstrong and Bob Herman, who lost by decisions to their opponents. Brooke Yeager won the 123 pound match with an 8-5 decision over Tom Frangella.
