'Manuscripf Faces Fine for Failure to Submit Activities Form by Cynthia Hagley Determined is the description of Student Government as of this writing. The body, through a majority vote, decided to take action after learning that the Manuscript Film Society neglected to tum in an activities form for tonight's showing of The Idiot. The action taken was that of a twenty dollar fine. This figure was arrived at arbitrarily, but took in to consideration the amowit of rental the society had to pay for the film, and the fact that this amount might thwart any other organizaion from ignoring this regulation. The film society also failed to· comply with the policy of obtaining permission from the Lettermen's Club to hold an event on the same calendar date that the Lettermen had been awarded.

Roberts, an active leader on campus, was chairman of the Jaycees' Christmas party for underprivileged children; in addition, he is treasurer of the Accounting Club and a three-year varsity member of the soccer team. As chairman of the Collegiate Extension Program, President Roberts will spearhead the organization's drive to establish six new Jaycee chapters around the world. This undertaking, the 1960-61 goal of the world's first collegiate J aycee chapter, is being aided by the Chamber of Commerce parent organization and all collegiate Jaycee chapters. A professional New York City model and a locally well known moderator for the Boston Store's fashion shows, Mrs. Juanita Miller, will describe the outfits worn by the contestants.

Judging the contestants on these points will be a panel including Mr. Frank Huttman, sportswear buyer for the Boston Store; Mrs. Margaret Lockhart, sportswear buyer for the Hollywood Shop; Mrs. Helen Matzer, sportswear buyer for Pomeroy's; Miss Mildred Neals, model; Miss Mildred Sekerchik, sportswear buyer, and Mrs. Mary The Masked Marvel Stryak, cosmetics buyer, both of In conjunction with this objective the Jaycees will conduct a member- Isaac Long's; and Mrs. Ann Vispi, versary of George Washington's birthday. ship drive throughout March; any model. interested male student can get This affair is only the first exDr. Francis J.

Once this is learned, there is no limit to what he can do. In the long run, the quality of a man's liberal education will be more important to his success in business than his specialized knowledge of business facts." This quote was taken from a recent spech delivered at Wayne State University by Theodore Yntena, the Ford Motor Company's vice-president of finance. The quote is also the essential theme of a recent article written by William Benton for a leading magazine. The article, titled, "The Failure of the Business Schools", is an urgent plea to American colleges to put an end to their narrow specialized business curriculums and to place greater emphasis on the liberal arts as a means of training the minds of youth to make intelligent and wise decisions which will affect our nation's future economy. Mr. Benton's provocative critique calls for some very deep thinking on the part of college administrators, faculty, and students. This thinking should begin with an analysis of liberal arts versus the specialized training offered, as such, by a business curriculum. The business curriculum is intended to prepare an individual to cope with near or immediate experiences. It trains an individual to cope with every known .problem that has been recognized by the author of such a textbook. The business student is taught, "principles of ..•"; he is taught to list in his notebook, for future reference, "advantages and disadvantages of ..." But - and without exception - a business curriculum cannot develop the mental discipline and reasoning powers which are so necessary for one's mind to think and reason beyond the known - beyond the immediate areas of human experience. And, after all, isn't this what a modem business world demands? Aren't business people looking for the deep-thinker; the creative thinker for their top level executive positions? As an afterthought, students should not forget and should face up to the fact that the modem firm is not looking for college. graduates to fill the lower management positions. These positions can easily be filled from within the company or from graduates of private secratarial schools. The next phase of our analysis should be, then, to consider how a future business executive can be properly trained to assume the awesome decisions and responsibilities which await him. The answer is simple, but not simple to attain. Only through tough mental exercise and "concentrated doses of English, mathematics, the natural sciences, history, psychology, economics, and the humanities" can a student be brought to a level where he is equipped to cope with the complexities of our modem life. No amount of specialized training and "principles" of this, and "principles" of that, can ever produce what is truly sought. Although the nearly complete disregard for all liberal arts courses in the business curriculum is widespread, the abuse of the English language, and the lack of ability to communicate is perhaps most apparent. The standards of English maintained in our undergraduate business schools are horribly low. English is left to the English class. No one is ever judged in a business course on his ability to write or speak correctly. In relation to this point Dean Teele of the Harvard postgraduate Business School said, "We're supposed to get the cream of the crop, but an incredible number of college graduates who apply for admission can't write a passable sentence." A valid conclusion, therefore, might be that two freshman composition courses are not enough for most students. Courses in advanced exposition or creative writing will lead to creative thinking. A course in logic will aid in the development of mental discipline: not a course testing one's knowledge of the principles of a successful brush salesman. The American fondness for shortcuts has only recently come under close scrutiny, only because these "shortcuts" have entered into the field of learning - a field where there is no substitute for mental discipline, and lengthy mental exercise. As Mr. Benton concluded, "Shortcuts to difficult objectives have a nasty habit of leading to blind alleys."

Almost every year this has been one of the questions addressed to members of the administration during the "Roving Mike" assembly, an assembly program during which the students may ask the administration any questions they might have regarding college plans and policies. This year, however, there will not be such an assembly, but partly because of the attention focused on the subject in an element of the local press, it deserves explanation. To those who are unfamiliar with the background regarding lack of athletic competition between the two colleges and the reasons for not resuming relations, the situation is indeed puzzling. The fact that the two are similar in many respects, and are located near each other seem to be the conditions necessary to establish and maintain what some would consider an avid and interesting intra-city collegiate athIetic rivalry. It is doubtless that a resumption of athletic relations between the two colleges would provide healthy barbershop and barroom conversation throughout the year and fill many sheets of foolscap. However, one should reserve judgment and criticism until he is familiar with all aspects involved. Immediately after World War ' II, when veterans had college education made available to them through the GI Bill, there were many in this area who enrolled at both Wilkes and King's Colleges under that program and as would be expected, participated in intercollegiate athletics. The two colleges did compete with each other at that time, there being an understanding that neither would engage in a wholesale reccruitment program and subsidization of athletes and that the place of athletics in the two schools would remain at the same level in relation to "more scholarly pursuits." The relationship continued on this basis for seven years, during which Wilkes dominated the gridiron and King's held sway on the basketball court. However, the emphasis on sports at King's underwent a change when Mr. Rocco English was named Director of Athletics. King's openly stated that it was going to build a powerful athletic machine and thereupon initiated a program under which it awarded, in one year alone, forty scholarships ·based primarily on athletic prowess. It was then obvious to those in positions of responsibility at Wilkes that the athletic policies of the two schools in relation to their place in education were entirely d1ssimilar. As a result, King's has not been scheduled on any Wilkes sport calendar since. The •situation is .now different. Mr. English is no longer at King's and ·King's College no longer ·. endeavors to acquire the reputation "Notre Dame of the small colleges." The philosophies of the two concerning the place and emphasis of athletics in a college are similar. At this point, one might be inclined to declare that because the two are so much alike, athletic relations should be resumed, however, more is involved in the maintenance of the status quo than consideration of academic, athletic, and scholarship policies. The primary reason is the past performane of th~ students of the two colleges at the games. In the first several years, a King's-Wilkes football or basketball game was an occasion for rallies and speeches on Public Square, bonfires, and other orderly conducted revelry. However, as often happens under such conditions, there were elements in both schools that thought such orderly conduct was highly irregular and decided to add a bit of what they considered to be the proper air for these events and began throwing paint and in other ways made the events not particularly pleasant to look forward to. Reminders of those days may still be viewed. One is quite close to Wilkes - the inscription "Beat King's" prominently displayed in white paint on the east tide of the old King's Science Building on West Northampton Street. The argument now naturally arises that hostile and disorderly elements no longer exist in either college. Attention should be brought to focus on the King's-Scranton basketball game played at the Scranton Catholic Youth Center last month. Newspaper reports attest to the near riot conditions that existed among the spectators at the game, and the fact that prefects in dormitories at King's were often up until two o'clock in the morning re-establishing order for a period of two weeks before the game is an indication of the spirit aroused. If such intense feelings, easily aroused to violence, exist in two colleges eighteen miles apart, one shudders to think what might happen twice a year involving two colleges just four blocks apart at athletic events considered traditional by the public. The respect that both colleges have gained in the community cannot be subjected to risk through possible destruction of private property and ugly public displays of rivalry. This lack of athletic competition between Wilkes and King's has recently been a subject for discussion in a local weekly newspaper, brought about primarily by Scranton University's decision to discontinue football. The subject has long been withheld by_people sincerely interested in the weltare of athletics at the two schools rather than those whose interest in the matter is more like that of a spectator and one interested in a source of newspaper copy. The increasing number of colleges discontinuing football has led some to erroneously believe that both King's and Wilkes may soon follow suit, pointing out that the heavy costs involved and the steady decrease in gate receipts will force the two schools to drop the sport for financial reasons. First of all, neither college is going to discontinue .football, nor are they going to resume athletic relations. Neither one considers football a source of revenue. It is merely another cost involved in the budget and is treated as such. It is understandable that colleges and universities which relegate to football the task of providing income will drop the sport when it consistently runs a deficit. This is strictly a cold, wise business decision. The great interest shown in professional football for the past several years has been instrumental in accelerating the decline of small college football. The shrinking gate receipts and increase in the number of losing seasons at a college might force a decision as to whether to discontinue the sport entirely or subsidize it to the extent of packing the teams so well that winning, profitable seasons are assured. _ ( continued on page 6) Team Away Against E.

The team captain made Tim Wong of Gettysburg his ninth consecutive victim of the season by pinning the Bullet hopeful in 1 :36. This was the "Mustang's" eighth pin of the season with his lone decision victory coming over his Dartmouth opponent.

This was John Miller's first meet, having been previously sidelined with an injury, he came through in fine fashion and placed second in diving and swam in the winning relay. In the remainder of the scoring, Dale Jones took third places in both the 220 and 440 yard freestyle -e vents while Ed Gavel took third in the 50 and 100 freestyle events for an additional two points.

The squad turned in its 28th consecutive win and ninth of the season Wednesday night in downing Gettysburg, 31-3. The only Colonel to be defeated was heavyweight Bob Herman who was decisioned by defending MAC champion Mike Pacilio. Brooke Yeager and Dick Stauffer both won on forfeit and Marv Antinnes, Ted Toluba, and Mike Armstrong all turned in falls. Armstrong made short work of Maisel with a 1 :40 pin. In the 147 pound class, Nick Stefanowski, wrestling in place of injured Harry Vogt, won a decision over Gettysburg's Gisman. Behind, 3-2 in the last ten seconds, Gisman got an escape from Stefanowski to tie the score but the Colonel won the decision on time advantage. Behind at the start of the final period, 2-1, Stefanowski worked a reversal on his opponent and spent the rest of the time on top. Marty Strayer kept his victory skein intact as he won a 9-0 decision over White. Toluba picked up five more points for the Colonels in pinning Young in 2:20. In the shortest action of the evening, Marv Antinnes put Tim Wong's shoulders to the mat in 1 :36. The heavyweight match saw an outweighed and weaker Bob Herman utilize his utmost in strength and skill against Pacilio. The MAC champion, however, used takedowns and reversals to pick up sufficient points. Herman's four points came on a reversal and two escapes. The determination and courage with which Herman wrestled the match can best be demonstrated by pointing to the lunge he took at Pacilio's legs in the last fifteen seconds in an effort to make a takedown.

Dear Cynthia, A Beacon reader commenting on my previous letters, asked me, "Do Pakistani cities have paved streets and sidewalks, skyscrapers, theatres, parks? How does the city look?" In an attempt to answer these questions, I shall sketch a profile of Lahore, the city in which I have lived for the past five months, and which exemplifies both the beauty and ugliness of most Asian cities. The earliest image I remember having of the Orient was one of a beautiful dancer, adorned with shining trinkets, peering from behind "a white muslin curtain". In my childhood days in Sarajeve, "The City of 100 Mosques", I heard the exotic stories of a Thousand and One Nights; feverish evenings were spent in riding on the magic carpet, hunting for Ali Baba's fabulous treasure with the help of Aladdin's lamp. My girlhood dreams were enriched by the delicate music of Tagore's lyrical prose and Rumi's mystical verse. The picture of Japanese landscape ethereally graceful with cherry blossoms and the cold beauty of Fujiyama were invitations to my imaginary travels. But, alas, the Orient I have seen is much le.ss romantic. The PakIndian subcontinent had a glorious past which is preserved in marble, gold and other splendored things, but to visit these monuments of former glory one must pass through dirty streets with open sewers, mingle with half-clad, unwashed; emaciated bodies, see fly-infested food displayed on the ground, _pass by half-starved dogs, dodge the disorganized traffic of modern cars and medieval oxcarts, tongas and rickshaws. However, I shall describe some of the more pleasant aspects of Lahore. I will divide my impressions into two parts; in this letter I wiil speak about the historical Lahore, and in the next one about modern Lahore. The history of Lahore has been rich indeed; it served as headquarters to Moghul Emperors; it was the Sikh political capital; it was the center of rabid religious nationalistic Hindu organizations before partition, and it is now the seat of the West Pakistan government and the Muslim cultural metropolis. The rule of Moghuls was at its height in the 16th and 17th centuries, and from that time date most of the monuments. Near the Old Fort, Aurangzeb erected the Badshahi Masjid (Imp er i a 1 Mosque) built in 1673 in imitation of the famous Al Walid Mosque in Mecca. The courtyard is a quadrangle 530 feet long paved with brick, and is the largest place of Muslim worship in the world. The Mosque itself is surmounted by three large, marble cupolas crowned with pinnacles of ·b rass, a characteristic feature of Moghul architecture. Under the central dome is a handsome niche turned westward toward Mecca with the pulpit for the Ulema. Each corner of the quadrangle pas a minaret of red sandstone, tall- and majestic towering above every other object in the city. The view of the top is breathtaking, but the climb up to it by means of narrow winding dark stairs is even more so. This impressive mosque was used as a military magazine during the Sikh rule of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, but was restored to the Muslim in 1856 by the British. Right now it is being polished and restored for the visit of Queen Elizabeth. The Fort Lahore, surrounded by a high brick wall, was built by Akhbar, the greatest Moghul Emperor. One of its many gateways was called "Elephants Foot Gate" because the ladies of the harem, when going out for fresh air, passed through on their elephants. Within the castle is the palace, which was enlarged and beautified by Emperor Jahangir.

The experience which she has gained in these various positions will aid her in her field of endeavor - business education. Her on-the-job training has ranged from a clerk typist, to secretary, to an accountant, to a private secretary, to secretary to an electrical engineer. Miss Ford feels that the training and the experiences which she has had will make her adjustment easier in her job as a teacher. In her job as a private secretary to an electrical engineer at Weston Electrical Instrument Co., she set up a filing system with a crossindex reference for her department. It has enabled her replacements to find materials without difficulty. Moreover, by working and living in the Newark area, she found herself in contact with various types of people which she had never encountered in Wilkes-Barre. Miss Ford commented that living in a cosmopolitan area as Newark enabled her to develop a cultural aspect of life. In recalling her experiences in an insurance office, Miss Ford related that she developed an interest in insurance and that she might consider it as a summer occupation. Besides her experiences in the business world as a basis for her preparation in her field of en.deavor, she believes that she has received thorough training at Wilkes. According to Miss Ford, Mr. George Elliot was one of the most interesting and informative teachers who aided her in her adjustment and preparation for college life. However, one of the weaknesses that she finds at Wilkes is the organization of social activities on campus. She feels there is a lack of student participation and effort on the part of most of the students in the social activities. Moreover, she stated that there should be more of an integration of day and dormitory student activities. The basis for lier statement is the feel- Photo by Hancock Dorothy Ford ing that there is a lack of school spirit and social contact. Miss Ford worked for the library in the cataloguing department during her four years at Wilkes. She feels that she has had the opportunity to keep up to date with all the latest information and books in the various fields. During her stay on campus, she has been treasurer of her class, a member of the Beacon staff, TDR, varsity basketball team, and Education club.· She has been a member of the dean's list. Miss Ford is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Ford, 19 S. Hancock St., Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. She is a graduate of G.A.R.

Harvey has led the team scoring for the past four contests, each time breaking into the twenties and dumping in 25 points in the team's losing effort against Elizabethtown last Saturday. He became the season's first Colonel to score 30 points as he dumped in 32 against Lycoming on Wednesday. His fine efforts were somewhat hidden from the spectators earlier in the season but since the Christmas holidays his consistency in s c o r i n g and fine playing has brought him to the fore. He led the Colonels' rally in the second half of the Elizabethtown contest as he scored 19 points, 87 per cent of his shots from the floor hitting the mark. From the foul line against the Blue Jays he hit for a percentage of 56 and currently leads the Middle Atlantic Conference in that department with 91 %. Harv averaged 15 points a game so far this season, 6 rebounds a game and has hit for a 41 % field goal average. A 1959 graduate of Lafayette High School, Brooklyn, New York, Harv captained the basketball team and was a member of that year's All-Metropolis Basketball Team. At Wilkes he is majoring in Political Science and is a resident of Ashley Hall. PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS PERUGINO'S VILLA Italian-American Restaurant A. Perugino Buon Pranzo 204 S.

The second half of the intramural bowling league got off to an inauspicious start Sunday night as only one team, the Playboys, champions of the first half's play, appeared with a full complement of bowlers. The persistent lack of attendance has brought forth an invitation from the student co-ordinators of the league to the student body for any interested students to report to Jimmy's Central Lanes Sunday evening at 5 :30 or to get in touch with Jerry Chisarick, Bill Watkins, or Dave Guss. Playboys 3, Tornadoes 1 The Playboys continued their dominance exhibited in the first half as they started strong, winning the first two games and amassing enough pins to win the series. Bill Watkins led the attack with 196-529. Jim Antonio assisted with a 175 triplicate 525 series. This marks the first time in the history of the Wilkes Intramural League that a league bowler has recorded a triplicate. Bob Hewitt fired a 195-541 for the Tornadoes.

On Wednesday evening the team returns home and will host Drexel in the second half of a wrestling-basketball doubleheader scheduled to get underway at 7 :00 p.m. The cage action will start at 8:30. The team displayed its two sides last Saturday evening . in dropping an 80-76 overtime decision to Elizabethtown. The Blue Jays displayed their best scoring production of the year in the first half of the contest as they ran up a 42-23 halftime lead. The second half started out as a repeat performance of the first as the Jays scored two quick goals to grab a 23 point lead. The Colonels' play, unspirited and slow in the first half, suddenly came to life after the E-towners two quick baskets. With "Athlete of the Week" _Harvey Rosen and Steve Gerko leading the scoring parade, the Wilkesmen began to narrow the Jays' margin. The aggressive rebounding of Tom Pugh and Ron Roski led the Colonels to a four successive basket outburst. Only the "roller skating" maneuvers of the Blue Jay center kept the E-towners in the game. Time after time, the lanky pivot man performed his "one-two-threekick-skip" offense to score. His questionable footwork escaped the notice of the officials throughout the game . . With three minutes remaining in the contest, the E-towners possessed a fast, dwindling eight point lead and tried to freeze the ball in an attempt t9 win. The ballhawking tactics of Tom Pugh and Rosen gave the Colonels three fast baskets and, after lo~ing Pug,h and Roski on fouls, tied . the score\ in the closing minutes on Ste\'e Gerko's sweeping hook shot. Rosen again stole the ball with but four seconds remaining and his desperation shot rolled around the rim before deciding to take an E-town roll and not go in. The score at the end of the regulation time was 68-68. In the five minute · overtime period, Clem Gavenas drew first blood for the Colonels but the scoring punch of the Davismen went ice-cold for four minutes as Elizabethtown grabbed an kight point lead. Last minute goals by Rosen and John Salsburg put the Blue and Gold back into contention as the seconds ticked away. The play became fast and furious in the closing seconds but neither team could score and the Blue J~ys held an 80-76 margin as time ' ran out. Defeat Lycoming; 72-70 The Colonel basketball team broke out of its loss doldrums Wednesday evening at Williamsport and defeated Lycoming. College, 7270. The squad's fifth win saw Clem Gavenas dump in a pair of foul shots after the game had ended. Gavenas had been clipped on a layup shot just as the final buzzer had sounded with the score tied at 7070. He made the two tries and gave the Davismen their second win over the Warriors this season. Harvey Rosen led the Colonel attack as he dumped in 32 points, the first WC hoopster to break into the 30 column this season. He had 13 goals in 22 attempts and sank six foul shots. The Colonels were behind at halftime, 42-34, with Rosen having scored 18 points.

Senior Class Gift Ideas Asked by Robert Martin Attention Seniors! Your class has in its memorial fund over $1 ,000. Just how this sizable sum is spent is entirely up to you, the members of the senior class. Several weeks ago, the class gift committee was set up in order to procure and investigate sound suggestions, discard the very poor ones, and bring those sound suggestions before the class for the final selection. Pete Back, chairman of the gift committee, reports that the work of his committee has been hampered by a noticeable lack of student interest and of worthwhile suggestions.

WHAT - WHERE - WHEN - Fas hi on Footnotes Dear Editor: It was with a certain amount of alarm and surprise that I read in last week's Beacon about the final examination "taken" by the German 205 class at the end of last semester. I was surprised because I thought finals are supposed to be the final test of what the students have learned from the course. Since German 205 "covers the German dramatists of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries," it seems to me that performing a play, while certainly in the spirit of the course, does not test the students' understanding of the movement of the period nor their understanding of the many differences which must certainly exist among Kleist, Werner, Anzengruber, or Hauptmann. Performing a play merely shows how well the students can act and speak a German dialogue. I was alarmed by this event because I can foresee this whole wild scheme becoming a fad, and students in other courses being required to "perform for final examinations." I can just picture the chaos that might ensue if chemistry students were required to combine their talents with the physics and engineering people to invent, assemble, and perfect a simple atom bomb or three-stage Hercules rocket. Or imagine the students in the education field having a "clearing house" wherewith they could meet with teachers to solve their problems. And students in political science courses would have to begin a third party and see their candidate at least as far as the State Assembly. How many girls by Wayne Thomas Two members of the college physics department attended the annual meeting of the American Physical Society in New York City last week. Dr. Daniel P. Detweiler and Dr. Julien A. Ripley attended the convention which began last Wednesday and continued until Saturday afternoon. Several sessions were held simultaneously and many papers were presented. Dr. Detweiler participated in a discussion on a paper concerning dielectric loss in iotic solids. He also attended a luncheon meeting on Thursday of the American Association of Physics Teachers committee on research in small colleges. Dr. Detweiler left here on Wednesday morning and returned on Thursday. Dr. Ripley, who was in attendance at the meeting from Thursday night until Saturday night stated that ' in the secretarial studies could clean and repafr a typewriter as a final examination? And how many commerce and finance students would enjoy having to invest in a fluctuating stock market in order to pass their courses? Worst of all, I foresee very serious repercussions if the people in the philosophy and religion departments were to erect a twenty-foot statue of Buddha atop Parrish Hall. I do not think "performing for final examinations" as the Beacon headline so boldly stated, is a good idea. It degrades the honor and dignity of presenting oneself at the gymnasium to take a three-hour written examination with ones friends and fellow classmates; it degrades the students as a whole, because they are in the same category as a menagerie where animals are kept to perform stunts. Please understand that I am not criticizing any department or chairman of that department; I am only voicing my protest against a practice that might soon turn the students of Wilkes College into a coterie of circus performers rather than sober, intelligent, and educated man and women.

Seniors Prepare for St. Patrick's Dance, Donkey Basketball Game by Sandy Biber Plans for the Donkey Basketball game which will be held on March 8 were discussed by the senior class at their meeting last Tuesday. The class voted to invite orphans to the game which will be held in the Gym. Suggestions for giving door prizes and presents to the orphans were also discussed but not acted upon. Also, the faculty will be asked to compete against the donkey-riding students. The senior class' Friday night dance will be held on March 17. Irish traditions will probably be worked into the theme' of the dance. Peter Back, chairman of the memorial committee, announced the following suggestions which he has received for the senior class gift: a public address system in the cafeteria, student typewriters in the library, and a synchronizing system for the college locks and bells. A contribution to the student union building fund, a language laboratory, and funds to lease a computer were also suggested. Back asked for more suggestions from· the class. It is estimated that there will be about $1500 appropriated for the gift. The suggestions will be narrowed down at the next class meeting and the final decision will be voted upon by the entire class in March. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, February 10, 1961 3 Matmen Away; Defeat Lycoming 17-11 Faculty Five, Playboys Cagers Away for Two, Herman Week's Athlete, Lead in 1-M Basketball; Lose 2nd, 3rd Straight; Heavy's 3-2 Win Decides Forfeitures Cited Rosen Paces Scorers Lycoming Meet The intramural b a s k et b a 11 league, although it started off to what seemed to be a very promising season, has lately been blighted by lack of attendance, resulting in games lost by forfeiture.

Mr. Michael Dydo, faculty coordinator, has requested that all teams which do not intend to play any more games and wish to withdraw from the league, notify him as soon as possible so that the schedules may be drawn up without risking any more forfeitures.

Textile, 86-68 The squad has 'been defeated in its last two outings, losing, 86-68, to Philadelphia Textile and dropping a 99-68 contest to Scranton University. Textile continued its drive for a bid to the NAIA basketball tourney by downing the team in a game which, despite the final score, was nip and tuck most of the way. The Colonels opened strong and held a slight margin over the Weavers until about midway through the first half, when the Textile team called a time-out . to adjust their offensive tactics to the strong press brought to bear on them by the Davismen. The Philadelphia team then 'began to slowly pull away from the Blue and Gold and led at halftime, 42-35. The two teams traded baskets for . s e v e r a l minutes, Steve Gei<ko dropped in three for the Colonels . and Junius Johnson added three in the Textile effort. With five minutes left in the contest, Bob Simons and Bill Miller teamed to score four quick baskets to give the Weavers a ten point lead. This seemed to break the back of the Colonel effort as the Textilemen continued to hit the mark and had built up an 18 point spread by the close of the game. Harvey Rosen led the Colonels with 18, Steve Gerko had 13, Clem Gavenas 12, Ron Roski 11, Eddie Kemps 7, Dick Morgan had I four, and Pugh had three.

It was in 1958 that the matmen's streak of 23 consecutive wins was brought to an end by Millersville in a 15-14 thriller which saw the Marauders overcome a 9-0 deficit and win in the last match with a fall. Coach Reese's boys will go against the down-state squad with a 25-meet winning streak, the only blot being a 16-16 tie with Hofstra last season. Moravian College will provide the team with its last road competition at 8 p.m., Thursday evening at Bethlehem. The grapplers turned back the Warriors of Lycoming College on Tuesday night after overcoming an 11-3 deficit by winning the four final matches in a suspenseful 17-11 meet. The team remains unbeaten in 25 meets. Tuesday's contest at Williamsport was somewhat like last year's meeting between the two teams here in Wilkes-Barre, the meet not being decided until the heavyweight match. Last year saw Bob Sislian pin his opponent and break an 1111 tie to give the Colonels the meet, 16-11. This year, Herman's opponent in the heavyweight match needed a decision to tie the meet and a fall to win the meet for his squad. Herman, however, proved too good for Joe Confair and despite the fact that he was outweighed by 33 pounds, won by a 3-2 decision. Two Colonels dropped from the unbeaten ranks as Brooke Yeager lost an 11-10 decision and Harry Vogt was decisioned by Lycoming's Wilkes Open Tourney Champion, Bob Pac, 12-6. Marty Strayer and Marv Antinnes, however, continued their winning streaks as they each picked up their seventh wins of the season. The meet progressed dimly for the Colonels through the first four matches, the only win being picked up by Dick Stauffer with a 10-7 decision. Yeager lost, George Dussinger was pinned, and Harry Vogt lost to Pac. Fae's decision ended Lycoming's scoring for the night. Strayer then won a decision, Ted Toluba closed the gap in the score to 11-9 with a 5-4 decision, and then saw Marv Antinnes put the Colonels out in front for the first time as he pinned Bob Jones. Bob Herman then won to give Coach Reese's matmen their 25th straight win. · Bob Herman twenty-fifth consecutive mat victory with a stirring 3-2 decision over Lycoming ace, Joe Confair. Although outweighed by 33 pounds the crafty Colonel utilized a first period takedown and an escape to fashion the win and team victory. Being outweighed by forty and fifty pounds against each opponent is nothing new to Herman. The sophomore grappler regards this as a greater challenge to his wrestling ability and uses his slender but muscular 177 pounds to the best advantage.

Beacon first asked, "Miss Hoeschele, how has your impression of i Wilkes College changed since your freshman year ? " She replied, "In my opinion the greatest and probably the most disheartening change has been the tendency of some organizations to lose their importance in. the eyes of the students because the organizations have lost their sense of purpose." When asked if she was satisfied with the school spirit on campus, Miss Hoeschele said that, "Our school spirit is improving, but it is not yet intense, it is really not yet equal to that deserved by the college personality." Finally, we queried, "What do you like best about Wilkes College?" "The one thing that really stands out here at Wilkes is · the open friendliness of the student body. This, to me, is the best attribute of our college," she answered. Miss Hoeschele, an avid reader who will be graduated in June with an AB in English, will . student teach in .a local high school this semester. Miss Hoeschele, a native of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and a resident of Weiss Hall, has been an active leader in activities since her freshman year at Wilkes; she presently ;,erves as secretary of the Court of Review, permanent chair- I Betsy Hoeschele man of JDC, co-Chairman of the Student Assembly Committee, and co-chairman of the Senior Executive Courtcil.

General admission price is $2.00 and reserved seat tickets will be on sale for $3.50. Advance ticket sales will be handled by fifty volunteers from each of the four classes plus additional volunteers from the sophomore class. Tickets will be available on or about February 20. Publicity for the affair will be extended to all regional colleges and most of the larger colleges throughout Pennsylvania and New York. Many area radio stations have indicated their willingness to cooperate and additional publicity will be available through local newspapers. The Dave Brubeck orchestra has appeared at many major colleges throughout the United States and also at Carnegie Hall in New York. They toured Europe under the sponsorship of the State Department and have also released fifteen record albums. Featured with the Brubeck group will be Paul Desmond, alto saxophone; Joe Morello, drums; and Gene Wright, bass.

Publicity for this dance is being spread throughout the r e g i o n through the facilities of local radio and television stations and newspapers. It will be the first dance of the second semester and a large crowd is expected. The junior class recently conducted a book sale and is contemplating a dinner-dance for some future date. Students Attend Dartmouth Carnival Cheer Wilkes Wrestlers The culmination of an idea generated by the School Spirit Committee will be reached today when a busload of thirty Wilkes students arrives at Dartmouth College to attend the spectacular Dartmouth Winter Carnival. Besides observing the various sporting events and displays, including the famous snow sculptures, the students will cheer the Wilkes wrestling team on to victory. Jan Bronson, School Spirit chairman, with the help of the Wilkes and Dartmouth Public Relations Offices, has secured accomodations for the group at the Woodstock (Vermont) Inn, located approximately 18 miles west of the New Hampshire college. The reservations were secured with considerable difficulty, since the Carnival attracts visitors from throughout the nation, and accomodations are difficult to come by. chaperones.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1961 Ideas To Be Presented at Women's Assembly by Cynthia Hagley Preliminary plans have been made for the organization of an Association of Women Students on campus. This was accomplished at a meeting of women representatives from each class with Miss Beryl Cole, Dean of Women, presiding. Miss Cole explained some of the functions of such a women's organization and met an enthusiastic response from the women present.

It's Thursday, February 9th, in the midst of this long cold winter, and those valuable assembly "cuts" will be worth much more this spring. Furthermore, this coming program will be one that will hold your interest and keep your eyes on the stage and off the textbook on your lap, so don't plan to study. At the risk of editorializing and believing all advance press releases, Richard Corson and his monolog should prove to be one of the outstanding programs of the year. Corson, a young New York monoactor, who calls his unusual program of original character sketches Theatre Portraits, is one of the few men to make a success of the difficult art of monolog. This versatile young man is virtually a one-man theater, and has spent most of his adult life in various phases of the theater world. He has won acclaim as an actor, director, scenic designer, dramatic writer, make-up authority, and teacher. Richard Corson, born in Illinois and educated at DePauw University in theater arts, where he earned his Phi Beta Kappa key, wrote and produced his first monodrama while still an un(l.ergraduate. In addition to acting on stage, radio, and television throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe, he has taught dramatics at Vassar and the University of Minnesota. For several years he was makeup editor of Players Magazine, and he had contributed to Theatre Arts, Dramatics Magazine, Quarterly Journal of Speech, and other publications. His book, Stage Makeup, has been used for a number of years as the definitive text on the subject on about 90% of the col- Such an organization would provide the much needed self-government for women on campus. It would serve as a co-ordinator of oil women's activities and clubs and would not threaten the sovereignty of any organization now in existence. Groups such as Theta Delta Rho and the Girls' Athletic Association which was recently formed will work in and with Associated Women Students. The women attended this meeting at 11 o'clock last Tuesday in Weckesser Hall. After discussing the functions and organization of the A WS they were served coffee. Presently, the girls are gathering ideas for the coming special women's assembly in March. Some girls are also planning to meet Miss Jesse Janjigian, a former president of a similar chapter at the college she attended. She will be on campus today for this purpose. Anyone interested in hearing her experiences with this organization should be in Miss Cole's office at four this afternoon. Even though only a few members of each class attended the initial discussion meeting, any girl who is interested in the forming of this Association is encouraged to speak with Miss Cole. There will be another meeting of the group at W eckesser a week Tuesday at elev-en o'clock. Amnicola Seeks Support The yearbook will again attempt to secure the co-operation of the student body when it schedules underclassman pictures to be taken Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, February 8, 9, 10, respectively. The Amnicola staff wishes to remind students that a class represented in the yearbook as having a membership of fifty students presents a rather poor ,p icture to interested observers. Pictures will be taken in Chase Theater from 9 to 1 on the days mentioned. The sitting charge for the picture will be $1.00 to be paid at the time the picture is taken. No particular attire is required for the picture. A club picture schedule will be posted on the main bulletin board. Club leaders are asked to check this list. Picture-taking will start Monday, February 6. Accountants Elect Officers Robert H. Yetter, junior accounting major, has been elected president of the Accounting Club, and will succeed Fred Pello the club's first president. The elections were held between semester because of the internship program of the senior accountants. Other newly elected officers are: Frank Kline, vice-president; Mike Cebula, secretary; Clyde Roberts, treasurer. Club meetings are held Tuesdays at 11 :00 in Parrish Hall, Room 36. All those interested in joining the club are invited to attend the next meeting. leges and universities offering courses in theatrical make-up. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 2 t~~,;~•;h; Eili~; 1 Editorial- A Resolution to Keep . Although it may seem a little late for making New Year's resolutions, we wish that one resolution would be made and kept by the student body at Wilkes. It is important because it involves a matter of courtesy. I will act in a courteous manner at all College assembly programs. In this respect, acting in a courteous manner involves three areas of conduct. l. Coming to Assembly - Students should make every effort to be on time. This means getting to the gymnasium and being seated no later than 11 :05 a.m. One of the reasons for this is that. many times, the performer is engaged to appear at one of the local service clubs at a noon luncheon meeting. Thus, the program must begin on time and end on time. 2. Attending Assembly - Although some people would disagree, one of the finest attributes of self-discipline is the ability to listen and be attentive. This attribute is also a sign of maturity. It is not asking too much to request all of the dedicated Wilkes students to lay aside their books for one half hour of the week. A performer is always most appreciative of an audience. Just ask any music major. 3. Leaving Assembly - This is the area where rudeness has .come to the fore. The student seen rushing for the nearest exit as soon as the final word has been heard or the final note has sounded appears to be training for the 100-yard dash. Certainly, getting to the cafeteria five minutes later than usual will result in no deaths from starvation. The Student Assembly Committee with the help of Dean Cole has scheduled some interesting programs for this semester. Of course, every program will not interest every student. But there is still no excuse for rudeness or ill manners. Only through the cooperation of the student body in this respect can the Student Assembly Committee be expected to better its efforts in bringing interesting programs to Wilkes assemblies.

WHAT - WHERE - WHEN I ~ 1 1 ::~ OOXIIIIIIIIIIXIIIOIXI Mr. Jay Olexy, Editor The Beacon Dear Sir: In its last issue, The Beacon printed a letter which was signed, "Cue 'n' Curtain." I wish to bring to your attention the fact that although the people who wrote the letter were members of the Cue 'n' Curtain organization, the club did not write the letter, nor did it request that the letter be written. Any correspondence to The Beacon comes from the advisor, the president, or the executive council of the club with proper signatures. Although the club endorses the content of the letter, the signers were registering student protest rather than one authorized by Cue 'n' Curtain. Sincerely, Barry Gintel, President, Cue 'n' Curtain Research Continues As WC Professors Receive Grants The National Science Foundation of Washington, D.C., has awarded two grants through its Undergraduate Research Participation program to Dr. Francis J. Michelini and Dr. Sheldon G. Cohen, both of the Wilkes biology department. The grants will enable Undergraduates to engage in scientific research either as an individual working under the direct supervision of an established scientist or as a member of a research team working directly with the scientist. To help build the interest of superior students in research, to widen their understanding of the scientific method, and to improve their ability to employ scientific investigation p r o c e d u r e s, the Foundation has made $3.2 million available in 357 grants. . While participating in this program, students, chosen on the basis of applications made to the institution fostering the program, receive nominal stipends. As Dr. Alan T. Waterman, director of the National Science Foundation, has remarked, "Research experience has long been recognized as absolutely necessary to the training of a scientist. Few undergraduates have the opportunity, however, to actually engage in research. Few have the opportunity to strike out for themselves, under guidance, into areas or levels of study beyond normal curricular offerings." The Undergraduate Research Participation program is one way to aid and encourage colleges and universities to provide research of comparable experience to highly selected students with a view toward accelerating and deepening those students' education in the sciences.

The swimmers face Lycoming twice and Pennsylvania Military College and Millersville State College once each. Coach Hcivira has high hopes that his natators will finish the season strong. Sickness and injuries have hindered the team a great deal so far this season. John Miller, who needed 19 sutures to close a severe cut to his leg, will not be available for the first Lycoming meet but Havira hopes that the former Girard star will be ready for the last three. The latest bad break has been the loss of Art Eckhart, the team's foremost sprinter, because of a high fever. Art missed the East Stroudsburg meet and it has not been determined yet if he will be ready for the first Lycoming meet. One of the biggest losses to the squad has been that of the graduation of Pat Shovlin. Pat has been a stalwart of the team for the past four years and his loss will be sorely felt. His great versatility enabled him to swim any event for the team. In the first three meets he collected fourteen points and made a consistent showing in all events in which he swam. Despite the early season losses, the team is beginning to take a new shape and newer outstanding members are emerging. Roger Rolfe has especially looked impressive in the last two meets. In the 64-33 loss to Harpur, he garnered eight points with a first in the 200 yard breaststroke and a second in the 200 yard butterfly. He also picked up six points against East Stroudsburg with a winning time of 3 :51.3 in the 200 yard butterfly. Dick Bender looked strong in winning the 200 yard individual medley against Harpur and collected four points in the 69-25 loss to East Stroudsburg with a second and a third. Art Eckhart collected eight points with a first in the 100 yard freestyle and a second in the 50 yard freestyle against Harpur. Bender, Rolfe, and Eckhart were the three winners against Harpur while Rolfe was the only one against East Stroudsburg. The team is young, there are no seniors at all on the squad and shows promise of a good future. Bob Borkowski took a second place in diving against Harpur and has looked very good on the board. He shows real promise as a breaststroker and also swims on the medley relay team. Gary Greaker, who leads off the medley relay team, is coming into his own as a backstroker. He took a third place against Harpur and will be counted on as the best backstroker in the last four meets. (continued on page 4) Dutchmen Are Strong Colonels Defeat Harpur, Lose to Wagner Tomorrow evening the cagers host the Flying Dutchmen from Hofstra College in a MAC contest slated to get under way at 8 :00 p.m. The Dutchmen, after a spectacular season in 1959-'60 with a 23-1 record, are again having another fine season and will provide tough competition for the Colonels. The Davismen will be without the services of tall rebounder Bernie Kosch, who graduated at the close of the semester. The hoopsters gave their tall 6'6" pivot man a fine going away present as they turned back Harpur College, 81-78, just .p rior to exams. The team opened fast and had built up a twelve point lead iby midway through the first half with Harvey Rosen and Clem Gavenas showing the way with accurate field goals. With eight minutes left in the half, the Eagles started to eat away at the Colonel lead on the scoring of Mike Greenberg and Jim Davis. With only five minutes remaining in the first half, the Harpur squad came through and on an eightpoint outburst, gained a short-lived lead which soon disappeared as Dick Morgan and Phil Russo combined in a series of fast breaks and scoring to give Wilkes a 41 to 37 halftime lead. The second half was nip and tuck, the two teams matching goals for the first eight minutes before the Eagles again began to chew away at the meager Colonel lead. With three minutes remaining in the game a goal by Harpur's Ess tied the score at 72-72. Ron Roski registered a goal for the Blue and Gold only to have it matched iby Greenberg's two-handed set shot. At this ,p oint freshman Dick Morgan took command of the situation and scored on a fast drive and then added two fouls to give the Colonels a four-point lead with only two minutes remaining in the game. Harvey Rosen led the Wilkes scorers with 24 points, Ron Roski had 17, Dick Morgan and Clem Gavenas added 11 apiece, and Bernie Kosch scored eight points and was credited with sixteen rebounds and nine assists in his final collegiate game. Pugh, Gerko, Russo, and Kemps each had two while John Salsburg added one to the winning effort. The team ran up against just too much height last Saturday night, as it dropped its seventh game of the season against four wins in a 98-62 loss to Wagner College at Staten Island, New York. The Colonels fell behind early in the game and then saw the Seahawks pull away and take a never-to-berelinquished lead. The score at halftime saw the Wagner team holding a comfortable 26 point lead, 57-31. The Seahawks were led in scoring by 6'-7" Don Larsen, who dropped in 12 goals and seven fouls for 31 points. For the Colonels, team captain Clem Gavenas was high man as he connected for eight goals and two fouls for 18 points. Harvey Rosen was close behind with 17 points, Eddie Kemps had eight, Steve Gerko and Tom Pugh six each, Ron Roski had four and Dick Morgan three. ~*********************** TONY'S S.

Ready to Serve You With a Complete Line of Sweaters, Jackets, Emblems, Sporting Goods 28 North Main Street Down Hofstra, ESSC, Appalachian; Brooke Yeager Is Athlete of the Week This weekend and the first several days of next week will provide Coach John Reese's grapplers with more than an adequate sampling of both travel and stiff competition. The team left for Hanover, New Hampshire last night for a meet with Darbnouth College scheduled for three o'clock this afternoon. The meet, part of the annual Dartmouth Winter Carnival, will not be viewed by a partisan crowd as a group of Wilkes students will be on hand to support the team. Brooke Yeager On Tuesday the matmen meet Lycoming at Williamsport in a meet which shapes up to be one of the roughest of the season. The Warriors defeated Hofstra College last weekend, 2.6-3, with Hofstra having been defeated by Wilkes earlier this season. The Flying Dutchmen had been expected to give the matmen their toughest meet of the season and the fact that they were responsible for the only blot on the 21 consecutive meet winning streak of the Colonels by virtue of last year's 16-16 tie made a victory over them more desirable. Brooke Yeager, this week's Athlete of the Week and the first Wilkes athlete to turn the trick this year, started things off in the Hofstra meet with a strong 6-0 decision over Don Hannon in the 123-pound class. For Yeager it was an instance of revenge, Hannon having defeated him for the MAC crown in that weight class last year. In what was probably the most surprising match of the evening, freshman Dave Puerta, wrestling intercollegiately for the first time, pinned Frank Baselice in 7:47 minutes. Trailing 7-5 midway through the final period, he combined a half-nelson and a crotch hold to pin Baselice directly in front of the Hofstra bench. A lull came in the Colonel's winning ways as the Dutchmen's John Ryan came through with an escape and a take down in the final period of his match with Mike Armstrong to break a 3-3 deadlock and win, 6-3. Harry Vogt then pinned Karl Fortmeyer early in the final period in the 147 pound match. He was followed up by Marty Strayer's 5-2 decision over Jack Gleason. In one of the closest matches of the evening, Ted Toluba was decisioned by Hofstra's Dick Muller, 3-0. Muller, who was warned once by referee Bill Lee for stalling, used a reversal and riding time to pick up the win. Marv Antinnes then put the meet out of the reach of the Dutchmen as he pinned Dick Hippner in 8 :05 minutes. Hippner constantly avoided Marv's attempts to get down to the business of wrestling and was warned once by the referee for stalling before Antinnes pinned him. The final match was taken by Smith of Hofstra who overcame outweighed Bob Herman's resistance and pinned him halfway through the second period. The team made Appalachian State Teachers College of North Carolina their 22nd consecutive victim last Thursday evening as the Colonels won six of the regular bouts in taking the meet, 24-6. Brooke Yeager continued his winning ways as he pinned Gerald Swain in 1 :09 with a cradle. Brooke had taken the Southerner down with a fast leg dive and quickly applied the cradle for the fall. Appalachian's hopes rose somewhat in the next match as Bill Cook decisioned Dave Puerta, 8-1. Cook, runner-up in national small college competition in the 130 pound class, proved to have too much experience and savvy for the Wilkes freshman and used two takedowns and a reversal to build up his score. Mike Armstrong resumed the team's winning ways in an 8-3 decision over Charles Boyer in one of the fastest matches of the evening with Armstrong using two takedowns and an escape in the opening period to build up a 5-2 lead. The Colonels then picked up the 147 pound match on default when Ken Shelton was injured in the second period of his bout with Harry Vogt. Vogt led at the time, 6-0. Marty Strayer continued the team's sweep as he registered a 5-2 decision over Mike Lassiter. In the 167 pound class, Ted Toluba brought the fans to their feet with a very impressive win. He caught Bill Mayhew with a reverse half-nelson and crotch hold and pinned him in 3:28. "Mustang" Marv Antinnes proved too much for .Southerner Farrell Anderson and won an easy 6-0 decision. The heavyweight bout proved the roughest and perhaps the poorest judged of the evening. Bob Herman, outweighed 30 pounds by his opponent, Joe Bailey, proved to be his match in skill and in the final several minutes, held a 6-4 edge. Bailey then used a reversal and picked up three points on a near fall to win the bout, the three final points having been awarded after (continued on page 4) I �WILKFS COLLEGE BEACON 4 Student Radio Series Presents National Objectives lo Panel This Saturday at I :05 p.m. Wilkes students will present the fourth in a bi-semester series of radio programs dealing with our national objectives. The programs were inspired by informative Life magazine articles on "Our National Purpose" and by published recommendations of the President's committee on National Goals. Produced through the cooperation of radio station WBAX, the program this week will feature four panelists: Betsy Hoeschele, senior, English major; Jerry Krasa, junior, Political Science; Joe Shambe, junior, Business Administration, and Ned Van Dyke, sophomore, English major. Mike Bianco, junior, Political Science major, will serve as moderator. Bianco will try to keep the discussion informal yet knowledgable, and at the same time lively and quick-witted. The program aims to develop cross-sectional and inter-class opinion and enlighten current problems of typical interest. All of the programs have been tape recorded; they will be kept in an on-campus record reference library and made available to students, teachers, and to the public in general. HA VIRA'S SWIMMERS (continued from page 3) Ed Gavel is beginning to get into shape after spraining his ankl1;1 earlier in the season. He collected four points against East : Strouds,, burg and is a member of the free-' style relay team which includes Mark Troy, a promising freshman with a great deal of power. Mark is also used in the sprints and took third place against Stroudsburg. Dave Smudin has turned into the endurance swimmer of the team and is also one of the promising individual medley men. Dave collected four points against Stroudsburg with a second in the 440 yard freestyle and a third in the individual medley. Bob Smith has proven to be a valuable asset to the team as he is able to swim both distance and sprint events. He placed second in the 440 against Dickinson and collected two points , against Harpur. Craig Huddy has been consistently bringing his time down in the 200 yard breaststroke and if he can build up his endurance will be a real threat. Dale Jones is a freshman diver who also doubles as a freestyler. He's beginning to work his way into shape both as a diver and as a sprinter. MATMEN AT LYCOMING ( continued from page 3) the buzzer had sounded signifying the end of the match. The Colonels proved to be just as effective in the exhibition bouts as in the meet as they won all three bouts. Rich Burns won in the 115 pound class over Mike Raydon, 4-2, and Ron Henney turned in a 7-4 decision over Joe Yatsko. In the 191 pound clash Bob Ainsworth proved that a 21 pound w e i g ht disadvantage was not enough to overcome him as he pinned Greg Van Orden in eight minutes. The matmen won their fifth consecutive meet of the season last Saturday night as they defeated East Stroudsburg State College, 23-5. The Colonels won every match except one and lost that through a severe injury to heavyweight Bob Ainsworth. Bob, wrestling his second match within two hours, was not forewarned about his opponent, Ron Mata,kaitis. Matakaitis had just entered Stroudsburg and was in his first intercollegiate meet after having placed third in New Jersey all-scholastic competition in high school. Ainsworth was at a definite weight and strength disadvantage from the outset and when he found himself about to be pinned, pulled his chest muscles so severely in a bridging •e ffort that he had to retire from action and be hospitalized in order to determine the extent of the injuries. X-rays proved that there was no bone damage but it has been disclosed he will be lost to the team for the remainder of the season. Brooke Yeager and Tom Gleason of Stroudsburg started the evening's competition off to a rousing start, exchanging points on reversals and takedowns at a fast clip before Brooke took the 20-6 decision. Dave Puerta handed Stroudsburg's Ken Nickitcher his first defeat of the season by a close 5-4 margin in the 130 pound class match. Mike Armstrong defeated Stan Woods in the 137 pound class while ************************ GENE SHAKER'S BOWLING SUPPLIES Gene (Shaker) Shaskas, Prop.

These students are William J. by Gloria Zaludek The Winter Carnival has been Davis, William Hawke, John Hosage, and William Malcolm. cancelled! At the Student Government meeting last Tuesday Al Kishel, chairman for the Carnival, explained the procedure he and James Walters followed in order to locate a setting for this year's mid-term outing. He also explained the reasons for the cancellation of the winter holiday. "I wrote to the Pocono Chamber of Commerce for a list of hotel establishments which could accomodate our needs for a Winter . Carnival. From this list I selected those resorts which were suitable on the basis of size, facilities, money, and distance, and contacted each one." Of the four or five resorts which are available, the Inn at Buckhill Falls had the proper outdoor facilities. It could not, however, furnish indoor recreational facilities because a convention would be occupying them. John Hosage William. Hawke The Inn offered to allow tis to use the outdoor facilities, but, we would have to secure indoor g:i.thering rooms elsewhere. Onawa Lodge stipulated that we could use its indoor recreation rooms providing that they serve us a lunch and dinner for $5.00 per person. Since this plan, which would cost approximately $1,000, is not feasible, Student Government ruled out the possibility of having the Winter Carnival this year. ~ One footnote in the minutes for Student Government's last meeting is: the primary reason for our rejection of the various Pocono resorts was due to improper facilities, size, money, and distance. Plans are, however, to possibly contact these resorts for future carnivals or outings. It should be especially noted that few resorts refused us because of our past reputation. William J.

Mr. Milstein is recognized on all continents as one of the greatest violinists of our time. His perform~nce at the !rem Temple certainly' proved this praise is justified. Milstein showed in each work that he was the complete master of his Stradivarius. He was able to produce tones that seemed impossible on a four-stringed instrument. In short, the tonal quality was a joy to hear. Although I have not played the violin, I could well appreciate Mr. Milstein's technical versatility. . In the familiar "Preludium and Allegro" by Fritz Kreisler and the "Nocturne and Tarantella" by the Polish composer, Szymanowski, the violinist's fingers fairly flew along the strings. Only an artist such as Milstein could exhibit such precise, crisp fingering and smooth bowing technique. Campus Observer In addition to the previously mentioned works, the soloist played works by Handel, Bach, Beethoven, and the Swiss composer, Ernest Bloch. BRASS AND CHAMBER MUSIC ENSEMBLES PRESENT DlfFICULT PROGRAM AT ASSEMBLY WHAT - WHERE - WHEN - PRIVATE ~ There's not going to be a Winter Carnival! Indignant voices have been bellowing this warcry all week. All around, people are yelling, "They can't do :that!", pounding their fists on tables, and threatening to march on the Student Government Office. Everyone is positive that a terrible wrong has been done to the student body by their hallowed governing body. Everyone is sure they have a gallant cause to fight for. If a few of these bellowing students would quiet down long enough to find out the reasons for the decision, they'd feel pretty silly. First of all, to have a Winter Carnival, one must find a suitable place to hold it. Nobody wants us. Not many of them have moose heads or juke boxes that are insured against college students. The people of this school have worked hard to make Wilkes Col- lege a respected name. The Winter Carnivals in the past have done nothing but detract from the college's name. Whett I put them on the scales, I get this answer: it isn't worth it! I'ni very glad the Student Government got the same answer. It has also come to my attention that the Sophomore Class is going to sponsor a jazz concert with the great Dave Brubeck. I say Bravo! The response which this concert is receiving is a good example of the "uncollegiateness" of the students at this school. If a few of our students would remember that they aren't in high school any more and trade in their "rockin" 45's for some good music, they might realize that there is more in life than Elvis Presley. Let's get with it, people. It's about time the social life at Wilkes took on a few collegiate aspects! death of Alexander the Great. It is reported that the great ruler held women as a menace to his victories until - he met Roxanna, the daughter of a local defeated chieftain. Even after becoming his wife and mother of his children, the proud mountaineer woman resented the conqueror of her people. Once after a heavy dinner she challenged him to go swimming in a very cold pool. He took up her challenge and died of fever. place. Pathans are tall, lean people, and the merchants are proud and friendly. As usual, there was hardly a woman in sight,, but what surprised me pleasantly was that the men went about their business, paying no heed to us. These mountaineers are either used to strangers, or too proud to show any curiosity. For generations these people have been skilled riflemakers and the government erected on these lonely cliffs a gun factory for all armed forces in Pakistan. Finally after 30 miles of very dangerous, winding m o u n t a i n climb, we stopped at the Afghanistan border. One sentry on each side .guarded the entrance to his country. We came to the end of the Khyber Pass. Nada K. Vujica We hired a taxi to take us through the rugged beauty of the Khyber Pass, where camel caravans, unconcerned and dignified, have been for centuries bringing smugglers and conquerors into the rich plains of the Punjab and Hindustan. Many bloody tales are still told about the turbulent past and the many invaders; the Aryans invaded this area around 2000 B.C.; armies of Alexander .the Great marched in 327 B.C.; Islam was brought by the Afghan Mahmoud of Ghazni in 1000 A.D., the Moghul dynasty which ruled India for three hundred years conquered the passage in 1505 A.D.; the British occupied Khyber in 1838; and many incidents in Kipling's Indian novels took place on the slopes of Khyber. Kipling himself spent many years in Lahore where the place in which he lived is still proudly pointed out. In Khyber we also saw the fort where young Winston Churchill lived. On our way our car was stopped a few times for the permit to visit this area, which is considered unsafe for . travel. These barren cliffs, rugged, mysterious and foreboding, still considered untamed tribal area, speak of feuds and battles of revenge. The tribal customs prevail, and the basic law of human relationship still is "A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, and a man for a man." A whole clan lives in a heavy walled compound with a watch tower towards the road. Right now the Indian movie industry, second in size only to Hollywood, is trying to cash in on the popularity of the "wild west'; stories from the Northwest Provinces. We saw a wedding procession. The groom covered with a red and gold plated mantle was riding, blindfold, . a white horse. Each of his friends had a gun and was shooting to excite the horse, but the groom stayed bravely in his saddle. He was being led with music, dances and cheers to the home of his bride, whom he was to see for the first time. We met a camel and donkey caravan on the road, and saw goats and foxes on the hills. The air felt invigorating in t~e clear December sun. At _t~e little outpost we stopped to v1s1t the market I Why didn't the Beacon give any recognition to Cue 'n' Curtain's production, The Matchmaker. .. This is one of many questions we would like the editor of this profound literary sheet to answer. Does the Beacon give space to only those activities which are headed by members of its staff. If this is so then the Beacon is no longer a campus publication. It has become the instrument by which a few people become well known about campus. The production which was given at Chase Theatre drew favorable comment from one of our local critics. If the Beacon staff had anyone capable of reviewing a play it would have been quite simple to have him attend one of the performances. If not, they might have asked one of the faculty members to do so. It is a sorrowful state of affairs when a college production receives no mention whatsoever in its o.wn campus newspaper. We maintain the Beacon should give equal space to all activities be they small or large. Failing to do this the Beacon fails to achieve that for which it was intended. Cue 'n' Curtain (Ed.

Harpur is a relatively new school in intercollegiate competition and one with which Wilkes has no record. Coach Carl Havira and his tankmen look for a close meet and hope to win it after having lost their opener at Dickinson last Saturday by a score of 81-13. Pat Shovlin took second in the 220 yard freestyle and Bob Smith took second in the 440 freestyle to account for six of the Colonels' thirteen points. Shovlin also took third in the 200 yard backstroke event. Art Eckhart accounted for The team got off to a fine start last Saturday night with a strong 29-3 win over Ithaca College at Ithaca, New York. By winning, John Reese's crew maintained the streak which has them emerging victorious in all their league meets since they lost a 15-14 decision to Millersville State College three years ago. The Colonels now have but one loss on their record in four years as they continue to field one of the better small college wrestling teams in the country. Four new men competed for the Colonels Jack Richards, 130; Mike Armstrong, 137; Harry Vogt, 147; and Marty Strayer, 157. Only Richards failed to come up with a win, dropping a tough 4-0 decision to Aaron Bone. Bob Herman, who wrestled in the heavyweight class only once before, displayed fine form in dec1s1oning M i k e Raymond, 5-0. Coach Reese's charges won every bout but one and managed four falls among their wins. Marv Antinnes came up with the fastest pin of the night, putting Henry Henk to the canvas in 3 :37 minutes. Brooke Yeager, Mike Armstrong, and Ted Toluba produced the other pins for the Colonels. After defeating Ithaca, the matmen came back on Tuesday evening to defeat the Lebanon Valley wrestling team at Annville, 30-0. The Colonels took every bout, with pins being scored by Jack Richards, Harry Vogt and Marv Antinnes. Brooke Yeager, Mike Armstrong, and Ted Toluba scored shutouts in copping decisions while Ma,rty Strayer and Bob Herman triumphed by identical 3-2 scores. · two points as he took third place in both the 50 and the 100 freestyle, the 50 yard event was the closest of the meet, Eckhart clocking 25.7, only two-tenths of a second behind the winner. Dick Bender took two third places, one in the 200 yard individual medley and the other in the 200 butterfly. Bob Borkowski took third in diving and · Roger Rolfe accounted for the final point with his third place showing in the 200 yard breaststroke. The Colonels were hampered by the absence of John Miller and Ed Gavel, both of whom were lost to the team through injuries. Miller, a diver of outstanding ability, had been injured . during practice while freestyle distance man Gavel had sprained his ankle.

The swimming team starts things off with a swimming meet with Harpur at 2 in the afternoon. The natators will be looking for their first win against one loss. The wrestling meet against Hofstra will be one of the toughest all season for the team as the Dutchmen are sporting one of their finest teams in years and defeated Temple University last Saturday, 25-2. The cagers will take the court against Harpur College in an attempt to get back on the winning trail after having suffered three consecutive defeats. Wilkes lost last year's meeting between the two teams, 78-69. The team suffered its third consecutive loss Wednesday evening as they were downed by their hosts, Lebanon Valley, 86-55. The hoopsters could not continue the winning ways set by Coach Reese's wrestlers earlier in the evening and were hampered by co-captain and high scorer Clem Gavenas' inability .t o score a single point in the time he was in the contest. The Dutchmen shot off to a 47-30 lead in the first half and boosted it the rest of the way as all ten members of the team managed to score. Ron Roski, not beset by his stomach troubles, showed indications of getting back on the scoring trail as he led the Colonels with 14 points. Bernie Kosch and Dave Tawil each entered the double figure column with 12 and ten points respectively. Eddie Kemps had five, Tom Pugh four, Harvey Rosen and Dick Morgan three each, while Steve Gerko and John Salsburg each had two. Defeat Susquehanna The team's latest victory was a 66-60 win over Susquehanna University just before the Christmas holidays. The lead see-sawed back and forth from the opening whistle and was clinched for the Colonels by Kosch, Rosen, and Gavenas in the waning moments of the game. The two squads traded goals during the first half and the Crusaders held a slim one point lead of 37-36 at halftime. The second half started exactly as the first and after seven minutes of play, Bill Moore gave Susquehanna a four-point lead on two hook shots. The Colonels came back and on goals by Salsburg, Gavenas and Rosen, and a pair of fouls by,Roski, built up the biggest lead of the evening, 60-51. The Crusaders then chewed away at the lead and with two minutes left in the game had narrowed it to'· 60-58. It was then that a goal by Kosch and fouls by Rosen and Gavenas in the final minute won the contest. Harvey Rosen led the Blue and Gold scoring attack with 19 points. Bernie Kosch and Clem Gavenas each dumped in 13 while Dave Tawil had 11. John Salsburg and Ron Roski each had four and Tom Pugh accounted for the two remaining counters.

In the varsity contest, both teams took narrow leads in the opening minutes but neither could build up a substantial margin until the Moravian team used a series of fast breaks and Kosman's accurate shooting to pull 19 points ahead of the Colonels. The Davismen came roaring back and at halftime had narrowed the difference to three points, 42-39. Dick Kosman, Moravian forward and the game's high scorer, dumped in ten goals and five fouls in the first half. Bernie Kosch led Wilkes with six goals and Clem Gavenas added eight points to the cause. The Colonels fought back into the lead briefly early in the second half but a fast-breaking Moravian squad, with Len Zavacky leading the way, regained the lead. Midway in the second half the Greyhounds enjoyed a 16-point margin but twin goals by Steve Gerko and a goal by Tom Pugh put the Davismen back in the contest. Once again Moravian employed the fast break and with Fran Demko and Leo Stimmer registering goals, took a large lead again. The Greyhounds' Dick Kosman led all scorers with 33 points and for his performance against the Colonels was named to the ECAC All-East Basketball Team this week. Bernie Kosch led Wilkes' scoring with 14 while Gavenas and Tom Pugh added 13 and nine, respectively. Ron Roski, bothered by stomach trouble, managed to score eight; Steve Gerko, Phil Russo, and Eddie Kemps each had six, Harvey Rosen and Dave Tawil four apiece, while John Salsburg and Dick Morgan scored two points each. Red Devils Win Last Saturday the Dickinson basketball team c o m p 1 e t e d a doubleheader sweep of Red Devil athletics over Wilkes teams. Their swimming team defeated the Colonel tankmen and the cagers romped over the Davismen, 79-58. Wilkes had entered the contest holding down third place in the nation among small colleges in free throw percentage behind McNeese State of Louisiana and Randolph-Macon of Virginia, but could come up with only 12 free tosses all night. Dickinson got off to an early bulge and mounted its advantage to 46-29 at halftime. They continued to add to their lead and maintained their scoring power throughout the later periods to win hands down. Harvey Rosen and Dave Tawil led Wilkes scoring as they accounted for 14 points apiece, Roski and Morgan had six each, Pugh and Kemps four each, Gerko and Kosch three apiece, while Russo and Gavenas each had two . e PENN BARBER SHOP e Next Door to Y .M.C.A. 3 Barbers at Your Service James J.

January 13, 1961 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Richard Chapline Performs al Modern Language Conference by Bob Bomboy Mr. Richard Chapline, a member of the Wilkes-College music faculty, recently appeared professionally before 3,000 Modem Language Conference delegates at Philadelphia. Chapline, accompanied by harpsichord and violin, sang a solo and participated in several duets and trios. The program, cons,i sting of dramatic music of the French, Italian, Spanish, and English theater of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, was pr·e sented on December 28. A musical background for a poem by the German writer, Goethe, was one of the selections presented by · Chapline. Questioned about the kind of selections presented, Chapline, a professional singer who had sung in England and on the Continent before coming to the Wilkes campus, said that obscure dramatic music is his particular specialty. Music of this type was composed to be presented as an integral part of a particular play, and, as such, it is of great importance to those who study literature of the period. At one time in his career Chapline was employed by the Library of Congress to present this little known music to scholars. Now, however his interests are centered closer to home; his last college appearance was as conductor of the Christmas assembly.

The members who voted against the motion felt that this money, originally intended for use on the Winter Carnival in the Poconos, should not be distributed to such a small representation of students. The members in favor of the motion were of the opinion that this move would promote the public relations and school spirit of the college. They also felt that those students would be there as supporters of the wrestling squad who will meet the Dartmouth team that weekend. The Dartmouth Winter Carnival, held on their campus in New Hampshire annually, is nationally known for its ski slalom and jump competitions, its display of elaborate snow and ice sculptures, its fine arts events, and the outdoor sports available for all students attending the carnival. As of press time, the School Spirit Committee was making arrangements for transportation, and room and board at the carnival. At a cost of $24.00 per person, a student will have transportation, room and two meals a day. Activities at the carnival include wrestling and basketball events, skiing, skating, an all-college dance, and other items. Any person interested in attending the carnival should contact Miss Janice Bronson. Activity forms and the policies thereof were also under fire at this meeting. The representatives finally decided to invest the president of the body with the proper authority to approve forms, if submitted after a meeting, but before the deadline. Further changes in procedures involving a ct iv it y forms were hinted at with the definite statement that any club or organization that did not comply with the rules as they now stand would be met with speedy and severe action. $1.00 Ray Hollie's TONY'S EXPERTLY REPAIRED AND SERVICED . . .

The Tornados dropped to seventh, the Screwballs jumped up to sixth place from their cellar position and the Alley Cats were forced by forfeiture into last place. The 'Cats' Jerry Zeller set a league high series with 214-603 as his team lost because not enough bowlers appeared for the evening's competition. The high number of forfeitures forced by insufficient players has forced the commissioners to drop from the league roster those bowlers who have been chronically absent. This will leave a number of vacancies ready to be filled for the start of the second half. Anyone interested in joining the league has been requested to get in touch with either Jerry Chisarick, Dave Guss, or Bob Hewitt. This Sunday's bowling will mark the half-way point for the season. At the start of next semester's bowling, team standings, records and percentages will revert to zero across the board. Individual averages, however, will continue into the s e c o n d half.

The principal speaker of the meeting was Daniel Connolly, Deputy Secretary of the Department of Mines and Mineral Resources, in Harrisburg. The meeting was sponsored for the benefit of local Luzerne County officials. Mr. Connolly spoke on "FederalState Funds for Mine Drainage." In connection with the tremendous interest generated about the mine drainage program and the possibility of using nine million dollars in surplus funds to carry out the project, the deputy secretary of mines discussed and explained the program in detail. Local officials were concerned as to whether some strip mining operations could not be back-filled, utilizing the surplus funds to carry out the work. Mr. Connolly spoke on this phase of the overall project and answered questions pertaining to the perplexing problem. Mr. Connolly began his work with the Department of Mines and Minerals Resources twenty-two years ago as a mine inspector. Dr. Hugo V. Mailey, chairman of the College Political Science Department, and director of Institute of Municipal Government, was chairman of the meeting.

Invitations have been extended to colleges throughout the East, and a large crowd is anticipated. Wilkes students will have an opportunity to reunite with their friends who have been attending schools away from home and are now visiting their homes for the holiday season. The music will be provided by a local orchestra whose services are provided at no cost by the local chapter of the Musicians' Union. Carol Thomas, president of Theta Delta Rho, is chairman of the affair. She announced that the Collegians will be featured during the intermission with a performance of appropriate seasonal, secular, and sacred music. All are invited to this gala affair; admission is free. Young Democrats Plan Yule Dance The Young Democrats of Luzerne County will sponsor a Christmas Social at the Victory Room of the Hotel Redington on Monday, December 26, from 9 until 1. Music will be furnished by the Dukes. Admission to this affair will be 75 cents and refreshments will be served. Tickets may be purchased from Cathy Brominski or at the door. Co-chairmen of this affair are Eileen Moran and Clarke Kushke. Invitations have been sent to other local colleges, nursing schools, and various local business and professional organizations. by Gloria Zaludek We will have our Winter Carnival! The Student Government held a special meeting last Monday at 5:00 p.m., at which time a vote of 9-1-1 was received in favor of having the Carnival. The Inn at Buckhill Falls will be the site of this year's mid-term holiday outing. Although the Inn has excellent indoor and outdoor facilities, Mr. Bob Morris, who represented the administration at the meeting, informed the Student Government of the following rules which must be followed. In order for the Carnival to be approved by the administration, the Student Government must submit a planned program of the day's activities. This is to insure the proper conduct of those attending. One stipulation of the program is that there will be no alcoholic beverages served or allowed on the premises. Anyone violating this rule is threatened with expulsion from school. At Monday's meeting the members also approved two activities forms. The first was for the IDC Christmas Party on December 15 in the Commons from 9-12 p.m., and the second for the Economics Club Dance tonight in the gym from 9-12 p.m. Several activity and chaperon forms have been submitted late. Student Government reminds all clubs that these forms must be submitted two weeks before the planned event. Failure to follow this necessary rule may result in suspension of the activity or cancelation of future activities. Some of the selections to be presented include three Sp an i sh Christmas carols of the sixteenth century, "Cantemus Domino," by Sidney Nicholson, "The Stable Door," by C. Armstrong Gibbs, and "I'll Go to Bethlehem," a Czechoslovakian carol. A madrigal is a four-part form of song always performed a capella (without musical accompaniment). Songs for Madrigal singing were written in great abundance in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries. Some compositions of this nature are written today along more modern lines. The Madrigal Singers have already given two Christmas concerts at the Shavertown M et ho di st Church and at the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. Members of the group include: sopranos, Patricia Lutz, Sallie Price, Mary Jean Sakoski, Nancy Thomas, and Carolyn Warren; altos, Christine Bialogawicz, Bonnie Jenkins, Sharon Key, and Beverly Major; tenors, Robert Eike, Raymond Nutaitis, Walter Umla, and Merritt Wheeler; basses, David Jones, Donald Jones, Richard Probert, and Edward Yadzinski.

Since most of the dorm students will be leaving for home by car today or else getting a "hop" with other students, this editorial is directed mainly toward them. However, a glance at some of the safe driving tips listed below and observance of them by ALL students who drive would be a wise thing to do if you expect to see your college friends again on January 3rd. Here are some words of wisdom to help combat the dangerous effects of the holiday mood, increased darkness, and unsafe weather conditions. Holiday Mood Stay alert. Don't become so preoccupied with merry making that you go into a holiday haze. Keep your wits about you whenever you're in traffice - on foot or in a car. Don't venture into the street - walking or driving - if you've drinking. At parties and other holiday gatherings, arrange rides for guests who have been drinking. Darkness When you drive, darkness is a signal to reduce speed and increase watchfulness. Be sure all lights are in good working condition. When you walk, darkness gives the same warning . . . to proceed more cautiously and to be more alert. Remember, motorists can't see you in the dark. Wear light-colored clothing, especially when walking on rural roads. Weather Bad weather is another condition which means SLOW DOWN! Reduced speed is your best weapon against snow and rain or muddy or icy pavements. Use tire chains when pavements are snowy or icy. At 20 m. p.h. it takes a car without chains 69 feet to stop on packed snow. With chains on rear wheels the car can stop in 40 feet. On glazed ice tire chains make a difference of 81 feet in the stopping point. If ycm must drive on slippery surfaces without chains, keep an even pressµre on the accelerator. Taking the foot off the pedal suddenly and braking quickly is likely to cause a skid. Always be on the lookout for ice patches on seemingly dry pavements. Ice patches are particularly treacherous beyond hillcrests, around curves, on bridges and in shaded spots. Keep the windshield clear at all times. Do not allow ice and snow to accumulate on windows, especially on rear windows. Carry an ice scraper to clear off ice and snow that cannot be removed by a windshield wiper. All of the preceding thoughts merit particular attention in view of the hazardous driving conditions which now exist. Stay alert and you will stay alive. The holiday season will be much more enjoyable if a little care is exercised when driving a car. Dear Editor: Through this letter I would like to express my thanks to an unknown Campus Santa Claus who showed the true spirit of giving on Monday by giving me an early Christmas present. It is one that I had hoped for and one that many told me I needed, but one that I had neither the time nor the ambition to do or to obtain myself. With ten inches of snow on the ground and the thermometer hovering sixteen degrees, I was told that I had been the recipient of a "free" car wash. Curiously I went out to inspect the job, not knowing what I would find. Sure enough, there next · to Chase Hall stood my 1958 Chevrolet sparkling as the newfallen snow. Someone somehow (I was told by Santa's helper who was shoveling the sidewalk) had mistaken my car for his and had driven it to the garage and had it washed as his own. I would like to take this opportunity, Mr. Campus Santa Claus, to thank you and to wish you and the entire student body a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Sincerely yours, Robert B. Morris P.S.-lf you will come forward and let me know who you are, I will be more than happy to reimburse you for the wash job. Manuscript Deadline Set For Early February; Four Films to Be Shown All students planning to submit contributions to the Manuscript are urged to use the Christmas vacation to do the final polishing on the works that they wish to submit. This may be the last opportunity to finish any manuscripts since the deadline for contributions has been set for early in February, and students are often caught in the lastminute squeeze during finals.

' · apers on ergy ro ems · Two Wilkes professors will read papers at a forthcoming meeting of The American Academy of Allergy in Washington, D.C., according to Dr. Eugene S. Farley. They are Dr. Francis J. Michelini and Dr. Sheldon G. Cohen, both associate professors, Department of Biology of the College. Both men have been notified by the American Academy of Allergy that they will read their respective papers before the scientific session of the academy to be held in Statler Hilton Hotel February 6, 7, and 8, 1961. Dr. Michelini will report on "Histochemical Studies on the Ragweed Pollen Grain in Evaluation of Extracting Procedures." The biology professor joined the faculty in 1955 and teaches comparative anatomy, embryology, and histology. He received his B.S. degree at Seton Hall University and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees at University of Delaware and University of Pennsylvania, respectively. He is the author of a number of articles published by the American Journal of Botany and other medi- cal publications. Dr. Cohen's paper discusses "reactions of tissue sensitization". He joined the faculty as associate professor of biological research in 1957. Attending Syracuse University and Ohio State University, Dr. Cohen received his Bachelor of Arts Degree. At the College of Medicine, New York University, he received his M.D. degree, and interned at Bellevue Hospital, New York. He is chief of allergy, Mercy Hospital, and attending physician in allergy, V.A. Hospital. A Fellow in American College of Allergists, American Academy of Allergy, Academy of International Medicine and New York Ac a de my of Sciences, Dr. Cohen is also the author of many articles published in medical journals. Students Favor Multiple Terms; Financial Problems Cited In a recent article appearing in this paper, the advantages of a multiple semester system were discussed. We asked that students respond with their opinions on the possibilities of such a program being initiated here at the college. The following quotes were solicited from students. Howard Hall, senior, Political Science "From an economic standpoint, it would be very beneficial because students could finish school much sooner, giving them an opportunity to begin earning a living earlier in life. It would also make it possible for students to attend college, and it would probably . help to make more courses available, particularly in the summ'e r session." Gary DeHope, junior, Education "It would get more students through college in shorter time, therefore making it possible for those' who would be deprived of the opportunity a chance to get in." Jerome Krasa, junior, Political Science "A 1th o ugh a four-semester three-year program would make it possible for students to enter and leave school at more frequent intervals to meet their financial needs, this program would necessitate offering courses such as those in the languages more often than present. This would have to result in an increased cost which a school such as Wilkes might not be able to meet without government assistance." Barbara Gallagher, freshman, Liberal Arts "If Wilkes is willing to make the costly and time-consuming changes to adopt a new semester program, it should adopt the four-semester program, for that one will probably be requested or required in a few years due to its greater efficiency. This program would necessitate much expansion and development at Wilkes, which is always a move in the right direction." Patricia Boyle, senior, A.B. in English "I would be happy to see the trisemester system instituted at Wilkes because it would enable students to concentrate their attention on four courses instead of dispersing their energies on five. Also, I like the idea of having a semester ending before holidays; it would relieve a considerable amount of the pressure that students are now subjected to during holidays." Max Alper, freshman, Liberal Arts "This program would undoubtedly offer to students a greater variety of courses. It would permit many students to further their knowledge not only in which they might be interested." Gloria Zaludek, sophomore, A.B. in English "Although two important advantages of this plan would be: (A) students would receive their degrees in three years, and (B) the problem of school over-population would be alleviated, many studep.ts who depend on summer jobs would be at a disadvantage. Sallie Price, senior, A.B. in English "I would not get on my soapbox to advocate or denounce the trisemester plan. However, I prefer small classes; and with the increasing enrollment that we here at Wilkes are experiencing, I would favor the tri-semester -p lan if it AMNICOLA NOTICE would maintain the intimate groupAll seniors who have had their ing to which we are now accusby Robert S.

The 29th annual Wilkes Open Wrestling Tournament will be held on December 28 and 29 at the gymnasium. Often referred to as the "Rose Bowl of Wrestling", the tournament usually attracts 300 or more wrestlers and hundreds of wrestling enthusiasts to Wilkes. Some of the wrestlers represent colleges and universities, others compete affiliated with YMCA's and various athletic clubs and still others compete in the tournament unattached. This year, as in the .p ast, four wrestling sessions will be held over the two-day period. Additional features of the tournament include a wrestling clinic, a tourney .banquet, and consolation bouts. Individual trophies will be awarded to the victorious wrestlers in the various weight divisions and to the winning team. The Bruce Blackman Memorial, honoring the late sports editor of the Time-Leader Evening News who was an avid wrestling fan and supporter of the open tournament, will be awarded to the outstanding wrestler. The tournament should prove interesting to fans of the Wilkes wrestling team as the college grapplers enter the competitive field each year. Immediately after the Christmas holidays the matmen will start their 1961 season with a meet away at Ithaca College on January 7. The Colonels won last year's contest between the two teams, 23-13. On Tuesday, January 10, Coach Reese's men will travel to Annville, Pennsylvania to meet Lebanon Valley. SPECIAL TUX GROUP PRICES for ,. WILKES DANCES 1 ~ at JOHN B. STETZ~~ Expert Clothier 9 E.

The Ithaca game saw the hoopsters lose a quick-opening lead of 12-3 and fall behind on a scoring drought and a flood of personal fouls that paved the way for the Ithaca victory. The Davismen appeared to be on their way to their third consecutive victory when suddenly the bottom fell out of their offense and the Bombers found the scoring range to build up a 46-33 halftime lead. The biggest blow to the Colonel offense was the three personal fouls against ,t op scorer Ron Roski. Roski was forced to ride the bench for the major part of the first half and the Wilkes offense sputtered. Ithaca built up a thirty point lead halfway through the second half and foiled Coach Eddie Davis' attempts to field a combination capable of holding back the Bomber scoring attack.

The Shawneeites thundered back in the third stanza with the Pugh to Polanowski combination hitting for the score. Russo added the extra point on a pass from John Tensa to tie the score. Kingston - Edwardsville With time running out, the team started to click. Two consecutive steals and goals by Tom Pugh and two lay-ups and a foul by John Salsburg gave the Colonels new life as they rallied, late in the game. Ron Roski, Phil Russo, and Steve Gerko added late ,p ointers for the late surge. Leading the Wilkes scorers were Ron Roski and Clem Gavenas with 12 points each. Harvey Rosen had 11, Bernie Kosch 10, and Steve Gerko 6. Kosch, Pugh, Rosen, and Ger:ko were effective, off the boards for the Davismen but their rebounding was in vain as the offensive shooting was off the mark. The Scranton game saw the Royals erupt for eight consecutive points in the closing minutes to break open a close contest and send the Colonels down in defeat. The Royals won the game at the foul line, each team having dumped in 33 baskets but the Royals converting 17 of 28 foul tries while Coach Davis' boys made eleven out of twelve. The game started fast with both squads hitting with great accuracy and the lead see-sawing back and forth between the two throughout the first half. Harvey Rosen and Ron Roski carried the scoring punch for the Colonels with jump shots and drives to give the Blue and Gold a one-point halftime lead, 43-42. The second half was a carbon copy of the first, the lead being held by each team as it managed a quick two or three basket scoring burst. With three minutes to go, the Scranton team took a four-point lead, only to see it lost on shots by Gerko and Rosen. With two minutes left, the Royals used a fast break to take an 81-73 lead. The Colonels tried vainly to rally but their efforts fell short as the Royals froze the ball to win the game. Rosen led all scorers with 23 points, Roski had 21 and Gavenas 14 for the Colonels. ************************ GENE SHAKER'S BOWLING SUPPLIES Gene (Shaker) Shaskas, Prop.

Variety of Topics To Be Discussed Stevens Institute Offers New Freshman Writing Course by Gloria Zaludek Hoboken, N.J.-(1.P.)-How can you turn out articulate scientists and engineers? Everybody talks about the professional man's inability to tell others precisely what's on his mind, but nobody does anything about it, say teachers at Stevens Institute of Technology. Stevens is taking a fresh approach to this problem by requiring a new freshman writing course that The ship, the 96-foot brigantine he _adds, ~or students to cont1~ue cuts beneath the superficial answers of more grammar and iny anke_e, will sail from Miami July their stud~es aboard 1:1nder profes- creased vocabulary. 1, 1961, and follow the trade winds to such places as Pitcairn and Easter . Islands, . the South Seas, Africa, the Orient, and 'round-thehorn to South America and the W est Indies. · The 25 persons aboard will actually serve as crew and help navigate and sail the ship. They will share expenses of the cruise. Besides a rare chance to become proficient in traditional windjammer sailing skills the 'round- th e-wo rld voyage offers a unique educational opportunity, according to Yankee's owner Capt. lV1ike Burke of Miami. "We'll sail to places far off the beaten .tourist path," says Capt. Burke . . "Fqr example, we can get a glimpse of history by talking to descendants of The Bounty at Pitcairn, and by studying customs and people from Tahiti to Zanzibar." Arrangements have been made, swnal gmdance . durmg the ~8month • . 50,0UU-mile voyage. .

Yankee, which gained renown as a result of countless magazine articles and six books about four earlier 'round-the-world cruises u n d er command of Capt. lrving Johnson, was built in Emden, Germany, and operated as a North Sea pilot vessel until captured by the British in World War II. When Capt. Johnson purchased her in 1947, Yankee was changed from schooner to square-rigged brigantine. Her 15 sails total 7,775 square feet. Information concerning Yankee's 'round-the-world cruise may be obtained by writing: Capt. lVlike .tlurke, Windjammer Cruises, Inc., P.O. Box 1051, lVliami Beach, Fla. The real difficulty, says Stevens Humanities professors, is incomplete thinking. Most people are not troubled by a scarcity of words to express themselves. Rather they are unable to a s s e m b 1 e their thoughts, to make them clear to themselves as well as to others. The course requires students to recognize how much their attitudes and prejudices have shaped their awareness of things around them, whether they are writing about their adjustment to college life, a Van Gogh painting or Einstein's theory of relativity. Twice a week the freshmen write a 250-word paper on themes carefully contrived to make them aware that a writer's first task is to establish a point of view in his approach to a problem and that every- one twkes a somewhat different view of the same circumstances. The same method used in science and engineering is applied to writing. The students learn that men like Einstein and Newton first had to structure their own thoughts, to decide on a point of view, before they could express order in the physical universe. Several students have already reported that the course helped them in solving physics problems. Intrigued by the new course, the Mathematics Department is cooperating with Humanities by requiring students to write two essays on calculus this year. The course started as an experiment and has already been so successful that it will probably ):>ecome a permanent part of the curriculum.

Many residents living in this area have already complained-and justly so-to the Administration about cars being parked in private driveways and lots, and also in front of these areas, thus blocking the entrances. These people have tried to be tolerant, but no doubt this situation has caused much hardship to them. Now, action must be taken. It will be much easier for everyone concerned, if students and those attending functions at the gymnasium would be considerate enough to use the meter stalls on the streets, the college parking lots, or other commercial parking lots in the vicinity. Since the Wilkes-Barre police have been alerted to the situation, a little consideration and patience on YOUR part will save YOU the price of a fifteen dollar towing fee. Let's have no more announcements over the gym's public address system concerning cars illegally parked. The Golden Rule is not an idealistic rule. It can still apply to practical situations; such as illegal parking. Tuhy Joins Slaff On New Project by Wayne Thomas Dr. Farley announced recently the appointment of Philip R. Tuhy to the position of instructional assistant of the Institute of Municipal Government at the colleg e. Mr. Tuhy, a native of Wilkes-Barre, served as senior planner of the Luzerne County Planning Commission just prior to assuming his duties here. He assisted in the preparation of a comprehensive plan for the Wilkes-Barre - Hazleton Metropolitan Area and was responsible for studies in utilities, public buildings and facilities, and housing. · The new administrative appointment was also a staff member of the International City Manager's Association from March 1957 to June 1959 which he served as assistant to the publications director. In this capacity, he aided in the preparation of two publications, the Municipal Yearbook and Public Management. He also prepared monthly research projects which were sent to all cities subscribing t o the Management Information Service and answered a variety of inquiries by mail from these cities. He received his bachelor of arts degree from Valparaiso University in 1952 and his Master of Government Administration from the University of Pennsylvania in 1954. He has also written a pamphlet entitled "Governmental and Financial Data for Small Council-Manager Cities." From 1954 to 1956 he was a member of the United States Army. Mr. Tuhy is currently recording secretary for the St. Matthew's S.E.L. Church Council and also recording secretary for the Beacon Club of that church. He serves as bulletin editor for the Wyoming Valley Chapter of the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America and is secretary of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Junior Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Tuhy is also a member of several professional organizations including the International City Managers' Association, the American lp.stitute of Planners, the American Society of Planning Officials, and the Pennsylvania Planning Association. The appointment of Mr. Tuhy is a part of the three-phase program being carried out by the college under the auspices of a Ford Foundation grant made earlier this year. Mr. Tuhy will occupy offices in Parrish Hall. S.A.M. NOTICE J. P. Nialetz, a local investment broker, will be guest speaker at the SAM meeting on Monday at 12 :05 in Pickering 203. He will discuss the advantages associated with investing in mutual funds. PRO Secretary Joins Administrative Staff by Bob Bomboy Continuing his policy of expanding the staff and scope of the Wilkes Public Relations Office, Livingston Clewell has announced the appointment of Mrs. Helen Pauker, who will serve a s Mr. Clewell's ·p ersonal secretary. Mrs. Pauker, a native of Poughkeepsie, New York, was graduated from Poughkeepsie High School and Kressler Business School. She attended New Paltz Normal School and took Summer Institute Courses at Vassar College and the University of Miami. Since 1955 Mrs. Pauker has resided in Hollywood, Florida, a metropolitan area south of Fort Lauderdale. While a r esident of Hollywood, Mrs. Pauker was employed by McArthur High School as principal's secretary and office manager. Upon leaving Florida two months ago Mrs. Pauker "sorely missed the friendships of her 'southern years'." She f eels that her homesickness will soon leave her, however, because of her warm, cordial introduction to our campus. Mrs. Pauker is impressed with Clewell's "pleasant personality and extensive on-the-job training in the public relations field." · Her professional philosophy can be summed up in her desire to aid Clewell in his program of public relations calculated to raise Wilkes in the eyes of the community and the world. In addition to the duties eng endered by her career, Mrs. Pauker has found time to :keep a house and raise a family. She presently resides with her family at 36 Irving Street, Wilkes-Barre. She has two sons, David, 19, a sophomore at the University of Florida and Andy, 10, a student at Lafayette Elementary School in Wilkes-Barre.

She is in Pakistan with her husband, Dr. Vujica, who is studying the Hindu and Moslem religions.) Every household gives a t enth of every crop to the mullah. Most of what was left used to go to the moneylenders who charged as much as 70 per cent interest. Now the government has established village co-operatives which charge only 12 per cent interest. Our host is the chairman of that agency, too. We saw many i n t e r e s t i n g branches of home-industry. An old man displayed his weaving art with great pride and joy. One young woman, wearing jewelry in her nose and many bracefets on her wrist and ankles - like almost every woman in Punjab - showed us her skill at "charka", Gandhi's beloved spinning w h e e I. Her kitchen had some shiny brassware on the shelves, even a wooden butter-churner, and a rice storagetank built on the wall to protect the rice from termites. We also saw at work an oil press, the rice mill, the open oven where they made popcorn for us, the "Chuka", the grindstone for wheat and rice, a tailor's shop where men were sewing sitting cross-legged on the flooi'. Occupations in villages are for the most part hereditary, each village having its hereditary farmers who till the soil, blacksmith who sharpens plows and repairs domestic utensils, the carpenter, the potter, washman, barber, weaver, and the winnower. An interesting and rather romantic figure is the village minstrel or piper, who figures pr ominently on such festive occasions as marriages. Marriages are expensive events for the villager, for his social status and prestigethe proverbial oriental face-saving -depends on the food and entertainment he provides. In the view of the grinding poverty of the Indian peasant it is rather interesting to note that he is quite a cheerful fellow who likes fun of every kind and seems to derive pleasure from what seems a drab existence. Going from one home to another we had to cross the open drainage which runs through the middle of every street. As it had not rained since August, and as this part of the Punjab is flat, the refuse in this canal does not move. Thousands of fllies congregate between the drainage and the food openly displayed on the road in front of the stores, or in the courtyards being prepared for meals.

I am ashamed of it, but a strange shiver and itching went all over me, and I could hardly wait to reach the dusty road leading back to the mission. As long as I live I will never forget the faces of the children I saw in the Punjab village called "The White City of Sheik".

The girls of TDR, under the able chairmanship of Merle Benisch, spent many hours in -p lanning and preparing. The decorations, favors, guest book, publicity and many other details were responsibly and efficiently handled. The Head Residents of the dormitories worked cheerfully and creatively in preparing the attractive sandwiches.

Mr. Clewell arranged splendid publicity and planned the photography with care. Mary Ann Kachmar, Janet Rinehimer and Jean Ann McMahon added much to the festive atmosphere with their background music. Our special appreciation is sent to Mr. Detroy, also, for arranging for this contribution. Dr. Jessee very capably supervised the supply of t ea a:nd the s·p an of pour ing by each of the faculty members.

Wilkes, trailing 41-27 at halftime, struggled to close the gap between the two teams during the final 20 minutes and on the scoring of Ron Roski and Bernie Kosch managed to tie the score, 63-63, in the final minute. The Blue and Gold scored on a free throw and shortly thereafter the Indians regained the lead on a field goal only to see Wilkes ice the game seconds later on Morgan's basket. Ron Roski led the Colonels with 21 points while Long accounted for 16 for Juniata. Roski and Bernie Kosch combined to account for 34 rebounds between them to lead the team in that department.

He was outstanding on defense, his aggressive rebounding thwarted many scoring attempts by the baffled opponents. Although seemingly small for a top-rebounder in college ball, he possesses great jumping power and the speed n ecessary for all-around outstanding play. One of his greatest accomplishments has been in overcoming the pressure which came to bear upon him as h e succeeded Wilkes' alltim e Mr. Basketball, George Morgan, in the pivot post. With two full seasons as the Colonels' scoring leader under his belt, he has established himself as one of the greater Colonels on the hardwoods. A 1953 graduate of Plymouth High School, he lettered in football and basketball. While at Plymouth h e gained honorable mention on the all-scholastic football team and was a member of the Wyoming Valley Basketball All-Star Team. After graduation from high school, he enlisted in the army and spent three years working for Uncle Sam before entering Wilkes in 1957 to seek a degree in secondary education. H e has been a member of the Shawneeites' intramural championship teams for the past three seasons and is an active member of the Lettermen's Club. Next week the basketball team takes on three teams in six days in a grueling home stand just prior to the Chrishnas holidays. Tomorrow they face Ithaca College at 8 p.m.. in the gym and take on the Royals of Scranton University at eight on Monday evening. The Colonels had two games with Scranton last season, winning the first, 87-76, while losing the second a week later, 96-87. The final game of the three is on Thursday evening against the Crusaders of Susquehanna University. Coach Eddie Davis' cagers downed the Crusaders last seas.o n, 73-66. The Susquehanna team was defeated in its first outing of this season, 63-49, by the Owls of Temple University, a perennial eastern basketball power. The team pushed its season record to two wins and one loss Wednesday as it defeated Lycoming College, 73-70. The Colonels staved off a late Warrior rally in the second half and dumped in three consecutive baskets in the last three minutes to win the game. The smoothly functioning Blue and Gold machine had a comfortable halftime lead of 41-27, but the determined Warriors ground away at the lead and had chewed it down to a 63-63 tie with only three minutes left in the game. It was then that the quick scoring push of the Colonels won them the contest. The Colonels took an early lead on the accurate shooting of guards Clem Gavenas and Harvey Rosen and the rebounding of Ron Roski, Bernie Kosch, and Tom Pugh. Gavenas scored eight points in the opening half on set shots and Rosen added eight on jump shots to keep the Warrior defense off balance. Sharp playmaking and -p assing prevailed as Pugh and Gavenas added to the Lycoming dismay with their antics. Pugh was especially strong in the assist department and led the Wilkes rebounders with eight in the opening half and nine in the second.

The final half saw the Lycoming cagers settle down to excellent ballplaying and tear away at the Colonel lead after an apparently inspiring halftime talk by their coach. Bill Kauffman led the assault as he registered 14 points on left-handed hook shots. The ball handling of Jim Heintz and Boyd was also outstanding in the rally. With the score tied at 65-65, Pugh and Dick Morgan came through with timely steals of the ball to set up Gavenas and Roski with lay-up shots on fast breaks. With only a minute to go and possessing a 73-70 lead, the Colonel combination of Rosen, Gerko, Morgan, Pugh, and Gavenas froze the ball and won the game. Leading Wilkes was Gavenas with 20 points.

Now, it appears, Student Government has set up a committee to make a "last ditch" effort to obtain a site. For those who wonder how the present dilemma came about, an explanation is in order. The Winter Carnival has always proved to be a huge success each year since its inauguration. However, the past few years have been marred by small amounts of damage caused by students who couldn't contain the joy of having completed final exams. The owner of the establishment where the carnival had been held decided last . .

Across from it, in the same enclosure, he was building a new room, a bedroom for · his children. A small room was used as a kitchen and storage space. This is an unusual improvement because most of the people in villages and in towns cook on small charcoal-burners outdoors. The fuel used is a sun-baked cow-dung; the outside walls of almost every house and courtyard are covered with fresh cow-dung cakes plastered on the wall for drying. ,Occasionally dried grass or kerosene may also be used for fuel. The village diet is monotonous; a gruel made of parched gram flavored with salt and helped out with "chappatis" (pancakes of unleavened bread).

We were told that the village supports thirteen Mosques and fifteen m u 11 a h s (priests), this large number being due to the fact that several Moslem sects are represented in this village.

The Royals used two first period breaks and two final period drives to pound the hapless gridders. Although they were penalized 117 yards, Scranton had the punch to take advantage of fumbles and pass completions and have little trouble with an offensively weak Colonel eleven. The Colonels were hampered by a leg injury to Marv Antinnes which saw him in limited action in the second half. The opening kickoff by the Colonels was an attempted onside boot which went two yards and gave the Royals possession of the ball on the Wilkes 42 yard line. A series of ground plays got them to the two where the Colonel defense h eld, giving the Blue and Gold the ball on downs. Tom Krisulevicz's gain of seven yards in one play was futile as Wilkes was soon forced to punt. The boot was taken by Royal back Roy Davis on the Wilkes 42 from where he dashed down the sideline to score. The run for the extra point was blocked by Jim Brunza and Bob Herman. Later, a pass from center on a Colonel punting situation was low and the punt was never made. A Scranton punt shortly thereafter -was fumbled by Wilkes with the Royals recovering on the Colonel 35. Three plays later Davis picked up one of his team's fumbles on the Wilkes 42 and scored. The plunge for the extra points was blocked. The second and third periods were highlighted by Royal fumbles and penalties and Wilkes' only threat of the contest. Taking the Scranton kickoff to open the second half, Antinnes alternated the ballcarrying chores with quarterback Paul Aquilino to get to the Royal 41 from where Antinnes broke through the line and got to the eight. However, the drive halted on the one as Antinnes could pick up only two of the three yards needed on a fourth down situation. The fourth period opened with the Royals taking possession deep in Wilkes territory as another Colonel punt never got off the ground. Scranton quarterback John Wastak then completed a pass to halfback Vince Panette on the one from where h e stepped over for the touchdown. Later, Carl Rader intercepted a Colonel pass on the Wilkes 40 and again Wastak completed to Panette at the 30, with Panette getting to the 14 before being hauled down. The Royals managed to score shortly thereafter but were called back on a penalty and on fourth down quarterback Joe Murray completed a toss to George Brooks at the ten, from where he went over "COKE" IS A RE G IS TERED TRAOE•MARI<, COPYRIGHT@ 195B THE COCA-COLA COMPANY .

The game, played before a crowd of 750 at the South Franklin Street gym, saw the Albright Lions feature snappy ball handling and accurate passing as they led throughout most of the contest. Both teams started slow, but the Lions started to click late in the first half and at the half-time intermission had built up a 47-36 lead. Tom Pearsal, fiery Albright guard, took charge of the Lion scoring power as he dumped in 23 points in the first half. The Colonels stayed in the con- I test on the defensive play and rebounding of Bernie Kosch. The 6' 6" Colonel blocked five Lion scoring attempts and grabbed 11 rebounds in the first half while scoring eight points . Clem Gavenas added eleven points to the Wilkes cause with five set shots and a foul. The Colonels started fast in the second half and with Ed Kemps leading the way managed to narrow .the margin to five points midway in the stanza. The Lions came back and countered with Evans' five straight baskets to build up a comfortable lead once again. Although the team stopped Albright's Little All-American Dick Van Dine with five points, Pearsal and Evans took up the slack with 27 and 23 points respectively. Sommerstadt proved to be their top rebounder and added 19 points to their cause. Leading the Colonels was Gavenas with 22 ·points. Kemps, who played with his left ankle taped of an injury he received Wednesday, added 15 while Ron Roski and Bernie Kosch each had 12.

It has been the custom for some years past for accounting firms which are represented in major cities throughout the country to make an annual visit to the Wilkes campus for the purpose of interviewing those seniors interested in making accounting their career. Those selected are sent into the field and are paid a salary during their internship. After this practical experience, many are given permanent positions. The current list of interns will begin their practical training program in New York, Chicago, Newark, Scranton, and Wilkes-Barre. Companies participating in the program include Laventhal and Krekstein, Baron Strassman and Abraham Marcus, of Wilkes-Barre; Jack Yanover, Scranton; Haskin and Sells, Burdman and Cranston Price Waterhouse, Peat, Marw1'ck' and Mitchell, all of New York· Price Waterhous'e, Chicago· and Price Waterhouse, Newark.

"One of the top four recitalists singing in the United States today and probably the most versatile"thus has Miss Toure! been referred to by Time magazine. After starring in the Opera-Comique in Paris for several years, she came to this country in 1942 and was chosen by Arturo Toscanini to open the 100th anniversary year of the New York Philharmonic in the lead role of Juliet in Berlioz' symphony, "Romeo and Juliet." This Carnegie Hall performance preceded Miss Tourel's appearance as soloist with Koussevitsky and the Boston Symphony and Stokowski and the NBC Symphony. She has since been selected by various composers, from Stravinsky to Bernstein, to premiere their current compositions. Monday night's performance of "Scheherazade" at the Irem Temple will be repeated by Miss Toure! later in the year with the New York Philharmonic under Leonard Bernstein.

Next Wednesday is the night at Catlin Hall. Bring your beer mugs and get ready to take part in the best party of the year from 8 to 12. No admission will be charged. It's free! Due to the success of last year's Near Bier Brawl, Catlin Hall and Gore Hall have decided to give everyone another chance to "let off steam" before the holidays. (This means you!) As you enter the bar room through the swingin' doors, you can dance to the music of the Ambassadors. Colored lights and a dice table will add to the theme. Anyone under 21 (not having proper I.D. cards) will be asked to enter through the back door. The fellows from Gore Hall, under the supervision of Paul Aquilino, will run the bar to which, we hope, you will make many trips to quench your thirst. Catlin waitresses will carry trays of snacks to feed the hungry guests. Ellie Nielsen and Ronald Ciccone are the general chairmen. Plans were started before Homecoming in hopes of making this year's party outdo last year's. Pat Schwartz is in charge of decorations. Peggy Churchill and Bob Amey will be stationed at the front door to check for I.D. cards. So, put on your "dancin' best" and come with beer mug in hand to Catlin Hall on Nov. 22 and, "have a blast!" See you there! Student Government Prepares for A-C Dance by Roz Deretchin The All-College Dance, sponsored by the Student Government, will be held on November 25, from nine to twelve in the gym.

Dr. Eugene S. Farley, Wilkes College president, will moderate a panel consisting of Dr. Hugo Mailey, chairman, Wilkes College Political Science Department ; Hon. J. Harold Flannery, Judge, Luzerne County Cour t of Common Pleas; Hon. Benjamin R. Jones, P ennsylvania Supreme Court Judge ; and Attorney Peter Paul Olszewski, City Solicitor of Wiikes-Barre. Subject of Sunday's t elecast in "The Maintenance and Extension of Constitutional Government Responsible to the P eople". The series of panel discussions was suggested recently by an article in a national magazine by Clinton Rossiter, in which he declared, "A s·e nse of mission has been a national necessity. The world, w e must think, would be in a far different and unhappier situation today if there had never been a United States . . . . If we think that, we must also· think it will be a far different and unhappier situation in 25, or 50 or 100 years unless the United States survives and flourishes." In the originating telecast of the series, panelists concluded that freedom can be maintained only when people of diverse backgrounds, interests and beliefs are united by their acceptance of a common purpose; that the fanatical deter mination of the Communists to "bury us" requires a clear understanding of our National Purpose. If we are to survive and prosper, we must match their fanaticism with mature conviction. Assuredly, this r equires sense of mission and sureness of purpose. Sunday, the panel will discuss one purpose that it believes essential to freedom - "The Maintenance and Extension of Constitutional Government Responsible to the P eople". The panel will answer the following questions : What is meant by constitutional government; Should constitutional government alwa ys be responsible to the public will; How can we mainta in responsibility to the people ; How is a written constitution kept abreast of changing times? Dr. Farley declared recently, "We are convinced that the maintenance and extension of constitutional governments responsible to the people are necessary and legitimat e purposes of the American people. Governments of this type satisfy the great aspirations of mankind even though they may place upon the people r esponsibilities for which many are ill prepared. We must always remember that fre edom exists only for those who are ready to carry responsibilty. As Benjamin Franklin said long a g o, 'Those who sacrifice freedom for security will ultimately lose both."

JXXXXXXXXXXXXIIXIXIIIIXI Letters to the Editor ... XIIIIIJXIJIIIXIIXXXXJXIJ Dear Sir : Toda y we r ead a very appalling letter, published in the Beacon. The letter concer ned the Sophomore Class m eeting of November 8. The purpose of our letter is to answer a f ew of Miss Ania Symmon's questions, questions which are probably puzzling others at this time. Firstly, if Miss Symmons would have taken a closer look at the group attending the class meeting, she would have noticed that there were over 100 students in attendance, 126 to be exa ct (not "50 or 60"). This group represented approximately 50 per cent of our class, which, in our opinion, is an excellent r epresentat ion at a nonrequired class m eeting. The next order of business is to answer the questions set forth by Miss Symmons. The first is "Did we consider the benefits which the student body, as a whole, will derive?" This is very simply answer ed. The only benefit the student body, as a whole, can derive, is from a good, well planned concert. Presenting the best possible concert is not only a goal of the class, but also a responsibility of the class. When the Sophomore Class submitted a plan for a jazz concert, they did so with the intent of pres enting a concert which will bring the greatest degree of pleasure to all who attend this event. Miss Symmons' second question is, "Did we try to benefit the college as a whole?" If your guestion is to be interpretted as meaning that the collaboration of both classes could be more benefiicial to the school, again allow us to correct you. We fail ' to see any way in which the school or our class would benefit by joining forces with the Junior Class. As someone with a ver y exuberant wit once said, "Too many cooks spoil the broth." Respectfully yours, Owen Frances Parliamentarian, Sophomore Class · Brent O'Connell President, Sophomore Class :~ * * Editor Wilkes College Beacon Mr. Editor: Last Saturday I witnessed one of the most appalling sights I have seen in a long time. Because I .usually work Saturdays, I have been unable to attend the Wilkes football games. However, having last Saturday off, I attended the Wilkes-Haverford game. Well, Mr. Pinkowski and the football team were there; Mr. Weed and the band were there; the cheerleaders, the majorettes, and the Kick Line attended; the faculty and the administration were well represented; there were some Cub Scouts from the Kingston area at the game ; and, oh yes, there were a few Wilkes students among the spectator s too. I realize that many students work Saturdays and, therefore, cannot attend the football games. But what about the rest of the students? The dorm students, who are supposedly the backbone of school spirit, were conspicuous at last Saturday's game largely for their absence. Moreover, there are many day students who do not work on Saturday. Where were they? I have no doubt that, if the Wilkes team had won its first few g ames instead of losing them, these same students who were too busy to attend last Saturday's game would have been there sporting their Wilkes jackets and, in general, strutting around like proud peacocks. But, because the Wilkes football t eam has been in a slump, most of the students did not have time to attend last Saturday's game. It is when the chips are down that a football t eam or any other team for that matter needs the support of the st udent body most. Perhaps, if our football team had had this support, they would have fared better this season. School spirit is -important. If the students get behind their football I Teachers Renew Educational Problem I Last :veek's walkout by 4,600 teachers in New York City once agam brought to the surface the question of whether or not it is legal or even "proper" for members of _the teaching profession to resort to the strike as a means of obtaining better working conditions. The legality of the question seems to be clear cut. A federal law, the Condon-Wadlin Act provides for the suspension of civil service strikers, with three-year forfeiture of pay raises and fiveyear loss of job tenure of job protection. This law was not enforced in the New York strike, largely because it is generally regarded as being overly severe and unrealistic. To further point up the illegality of the strike, organized labor made it clear that they disapproved of the walkout. The National Education Association also condemned the strike as a demonstration of "unprofessional conduct." _ The propriety of such action also seems in doubt, although this would no doubt be staunchly defended by the American Federation of Teachers who organized the strike. · The failure of the New York strike cannot be considered victory or defeat for either the teachers themselves or New York's City Hall. The fact that such action was taken by a body of teachers points up all the more the facts that: (1) the teaching profession, as a whole, is grossly underpaid, (2) school reform plans which call for scholars in the sciences, social studies, and the humanities, can and will not succeed if suh scholars cannot be swayed from high-paying markets, such as industry, and (3) organizations such as the American Federation of Teachers, and the National Education Association have been recruiting members at a terrific pace. If the teaching situation does not improve - and quickly it is possible that these groups may continually resort to such measures as those exhibited in New York City. A national trend of this sort could move the American educational system toward the final, intolerable result - federal control. team and all the other org anizations on campus and give these groups their full support, both Wilkes Colleg e and the students themselves will profit.

At 6 a.m., November 1, it arrived in Sommerville, Tennessee in the heart of Fayette County. An independent group of students traveled to Fayette County to deliver the food to Negro citizens, black listed by Fayette County merchants for their attempts to register and vote in the 1960 elections, and to gather information and films on the situation there for presentation to the nation's students. During the trip, they were stopped by the Fayette County sheriff who told them, "We don't want you hanging around," were met in neighboring Haywood County' by the sheriff there who escorted them back to the county line, and were accosted by the White Citizens Council who forced them to take dirt roads into Memphis. The students were Gavin MacFayden, former Shimer College student who drove the truck, and Chicago students Bill Hard, Mark Eastman, Kevin Krown, Ed Cohn, and Len Levin. Their account of conditions in Sommerville follows. "We were able to travel around the town while we were there and see the effects of the 'economic squeeze" on the Negroes of the town. Those people who had registered to vote in the coming election, some 1500, were denied all credit iri the town, and many ·had been refused food and clothing although they were willing to purchase them in ·the town's stores; Stores owned by Negroes were unable to purchase supplies from their u·s ual · wholesalers. · ·"Although food has .been coming from the North and from stores in Memphis, there is a severe lack of food in the county. The real prob!em is yet to come. As the crops come in, Negro sharecroppers and tenant farmers are being thrown off their land. There are very few legal .docurrients · or contracts to protect these farmers. The few contracts ·which do exist will terminate on January 1, and the.. small amount of existing credit necessary to people .who live without money uritil their crops come in . will be stopped. "John McFerrin, head of the Fayette County Civic and Welfare League of Sommerville, is storing food for what he foresees as 'difficult times to come'. McFerrin also is setting up tents as temporary housing for those Negroes who have been removed from their homes and 'still have enough strength to stay around for election day.' McFerrin hopes they will all stay and 'use the right they are fighting to gain." "One of the Negro farmers who has moved into a tent had previously been sharecropping on a farm owned by another Negro. The Negro landowner, a school teacher in Fayette County, was pressured into removing his tenant because the tenant had registered. Many of the residents had tried to register and were unsuccessful. Economic pressure has also been used against those who unsuccessfully attempted to register. "The medical clinics in Fayette County have stopped treating Negro patients. They had at first refused to treat only those who had registered and their families. At this time they will not treat any Negro patient and no doctors are available to Negroes in the county. One registered Negro could not even find a doctor to pronounce his just deceased father dead. "It is the opinion of some white people in the county that the 'pressure is being exerted by three people who control the county. They are supposedly a doctor, a lawyer, and a banker.' Nobody knows how much truth there is in this specu!ation.''

Madrigal Singers Plan Christmas Programs Discusses Carmval by Bonnie Jenkins The Student Government plans to strengthen its policy concerning the scheduling of school events. This was announced at the Student Government meeting of November 7. To insure a smooth functioning social calendar, Bill Davis suggested that activity and chaperone forms be distributed to campus organizations when they receive their calendar dates. Action on this projected policy change will be taken at the next meeting. A second policy change was put into effect. Jim Walters called attention to the waste and expense caused by the indiscriminate use of the ditto machine and paper supplies. A motion was made and carried whereby the Student Government shall charge twenty cents per ditto per fifty copies of all dittos. All transactions must be paid on a cash basis. This fee will not result in any profit, but will help defray operating expenses. Jan Bronson reported that the School Spirit Committee plans to organize Christmas caroling for the coming holiday season. The Student Government feels that the possibility of holding a Winter Carnival is growing dim. Ralph Pinsky announced that thus far he has been unable to find a site for the carnival. Al Kishel reported that the campus contributed $1154 to the United Fund. The Student Government acknowledged his fine work as chairman of the drive. Second Semester Applications for National Defense Loans Available Sudents desiring a National Defense Student Loan for the spring semester of the 1960°61 academic year may pick up their applications on the first floor of Chase Hall before December 16. Freshmen who were granted loans prior to coming to college may pick up their checks for the second semester at the finance office after January 3. Any full time student in good academic standing and in need of a loan to continue his education is eligible regardless of any other aid he may be receiving. Dean's Tea for All Women To Be Held in Commons by Leona A. Baiera The Dean's Tea, a new function on campus, will be held for ALL the women of Wilkes on December 4 from 2 to 5 p.m., upstairs in the Commons. This tea was initiated by Miss Beryl Cole, Dean of W omen, with the assistance of a committee of girls from Theta Delta Rho. Merle Benish, sophomore Elementary Education major, is chairman of the committee for the tea which is for all day and dormitory students. About 400 girls are expected. Mrs. Farley and other women faculty members have been asked to pour tea. Background music will be provided for this Sunday afternoon function. This will be an opportune time to wear your "Sunday best" and enjoy talking with and meeting other women students on campus. Northeastern Regional Meeting of ICG Plans Model Legislature for Spring A student may borrow up to $1,000 in one academic year and up to $5,000 during the entire course of his higher education. The repayment period of the loan begins one year after the borrower ceases to be a full time student and must be completed within ten years. No interest on the loan may accrue prior to the beginning of the repayment period. Interest thereafter is at the rate of 3 per cent per year. The borrower's obligation to repay the loan is to be cancelled in the event of his death or permanent or total disability. Student borrowers who become full time teachers in public schools need not repay 10 per cent of their loan plus interest for each academic year of teaching service up to 50 per cent of the loan. The loan may be repaid in less than ten years if the student so desires. Although loans are available to all students, special consideration will be given to students with a superior academic background who expect to teach in the public schools or whose backgrounds indicate superiority in science, engineering, mathematics, or a modern foreign language. The possibilities of s,e curing a loan for the second semester are very good for any student who meets the above criteria. The college feels at the present time that no student needs to obtain a loan from private sources if the student's financial need can be determined and if he has a good academic record. Clinic Explains New Tax Laws Betsy Hoeschele, permanent chairman of the college's ICG chapter and last year's Northeast Pennsylvania Regional Secretary, is shown, above, speaking at Sunday's regional meeting. Miss Hoeschele outlined plans of this year's club at the meeting. Thirty-five of an expected force of 60 representatives of fifteen colleges in Northeastern Pennsylvania convened Sunday at Wilkes College Commons to discuss plans for the forthcoming ;;pring meeting of the Intercollegiate Conference on Government at Harrisburg. Michael Bianco, regional director, presided over this meeting of the executive co~mittee of the organization. The model State Legislature will meet from Thursday to Saturday, April 13-15, in the State Capital at the same time Pennsylvania's General Assembly is meeting and will conduct business that parallels that of the Commonwealth's legislature. At the Wilkes College meeting, the executive committee ruled that all bills intended for consideration will first be referred to one of nine Legislative Committees. These include: Agriculture and Natural Resources, Education, Health and Welfare; Highway and Transportation; Judiciary; Labor and Industry; Local Government; State Government; and Taxation and Finance.

Stark Hall will be the scene of the clinic to be held Friday and Saturday, December 2 and 3. Approximately 1,200 invitations have been sent to public accountants, trust officers of various banks, and attorneys throughout Luzerne and Lackawanna counties.

November 18, 1960 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 4 Boaters Lose Closer To F & M, 2-0 Basketball Home Opener Dec. 1 Against Albright; Roski and Gavenas Named Co-Captains of Squad With time running out on the fall sports activities, the resounding thumping of basketballs on the hardwood floors of the gymnasium gives ample notice to Colonel fans that the basketball team is preparing to assume its reign over the sports scene. The '60-'61 edition of the Wilkes basketball squad has been drilling for the past three weeks under the watchful eyes of coaches Ed Davis and Al Goldberg for the season's home opener against Albright on December 1. With the loss of Ray Yanchus, George Gacha, and Bernie Radecki through graduation, the Colonels will have to depend upon better ball handling to offset the loss of scoring power. Leading the hoopsters into the campaign will be co-captains Ron Roski and Clem Gavenas. Roski has been an outstanding performer for the Davismen for the past three seasons and will be called upon to lead the offense. Gavenas is a 6'-1" guard who specializes in the set shot and will be counted on to provide the Colonels with a seasoned ball handler. Bernie Kosch, John Salsburg, and Ed Kemps are the other senior members of the squad. Kosch, a 6'-6" center, has been very impressive in practice with his hook shots and rebounding. Salsburg is a hustling forward and is a leading candidate for the vacant corner position on the strength of his rebounding abilities and "squat shot" offense. The "road runner" of the team is Ed Kemps, 5'-9" guard. He is one of the top ball handlers and possesses a deadly jump shot. Tom Pugh and Phil Russo are the top candidates to battle the seniors for starting berths. Pugh has put on a few extra pounds which he uses to a good advantage under the boards. Russo, although only six feet tall, gives Bernie it's e1~Y P.V.P. to recognize true diamond value Even the boldest can become a bit bewildered when choosing a diamond engagement ring.

The curtain fell on the Wilkes Other returning veterans slated 1960 soccer season Saturday as to see a lot of action are John Franklin & Marshall edged out the Adams, George Tensa, C o n r a d Colonel hooters, 2-0, in Kirby Park. The first half of the game was Wagner, and Harvey Rosen. Adams scoreless with the Colonels threatening constantly but always lacking the "educated toe" to put the ball into scoring territory. Several shots by the Blue and Gold legmen bounced off the goal post and eluded the net. The first break in the contest came late in the third period when a missed kick by a Colonel backfield man put the ball into scoring position. Diplomat right wing Dan Juliard took advantage of the al- RINGS Beloved by brides for more than .100 years (1850-1960) most perfect setup and shot the ball past goalie Bob Ontko into the net. The Colonels came roaring back and appeared to have a sure goal on a left foot shot by Frank Lepore but the F & M goalie made an outstanding save to keep Wilkes from tying the match. The Diplomats got their second tally on a play that gave them an indirect kick at the Wilkes goal. Center halfback Kessler tapped the ball backward to Rossini who drove the ball into the net on a very hard, fast straight shot. Play ended with the Colonels threatening but unable to mount the offensive strength to score.

All-East Team First Colonel Alhlele lo Gain Honor Anlinnes, Dobrowalskt Spudis in Final Game 1 11 II , Back Gains 175 Yards, Scores 2 TD' s in 33-12 Romp Over Haverford The Wilkes 19'60 football season draws to a close tomorrow afternoon as the Colonels take on the Royals of Scranton University at 2 o'clock at Kingston High School Stadium. The gridders will be out to close on a winning note, hoping to make it three straight victories after defeating Dickinson and Haverford. The Blue and Gold were defeated in last year's contest between the two teams, 15-0. Earlier this season the Royals romped over King's College in the same stadium and since then have played an even .500 ball. The experts have picked Scranton as a two-touchdown favorite but the Colonels counting on the rW1ning of Antinnes and Krisulevicz and the strong defensive wall of the line, hope to hold the evenly balanced passing and rushing offense of Sccranton to a minimum and push across enough to win. Tomorrow's game will mark the final one in the college careers of three members of the team. Antinnes, Dobrowalski, and Spudis will all be lost to next year's team through graduation. Each one of these men has displayed fine, really excellent offensive and defensive work throughout the season and have consistently put forth their best efforts to help the Colonels' 1960 football campaign. · For the second consecutive week, Marv Antinnes, senior fullback of Coach Pinkowski's gridders, has been named the Beacon "Athlete of the Week" for his outstanding performance on the gridiron. "Mustang" Marv continued his workhorse role as he carried the ball 36 times for 175 yards, an average of 4.9 yards per carry, and scored two touchdowns. His ground-gaining and scoring feats against Haverford won him the nod of the press attending the game, whose nomination of him to the Eastern Collegiate A th 1 e ti c Conference (ECAC) All-East Team of the Week gained him that honor. Antinnes and Nick Alesandro, sophomore tackle, both earned national recognition for the performances they turned in during the game. Antinnes was named fullback of the ECAC All-East Team Marv is the first Colonel to have earned this honor of being named to the ECAC team. This hcnor is of particular significance when one considers that he beat out Al Rushatz of Army, Wally Pagan of undefeated Wagner, Sam Sobczak of Penn State, and Jim Cunningham of Pitt. If his ground-gaining of the past several weeks continues tomorrow against Scranton, he should make things difficult for Royal coach Pete Carlesimo's charges. "COKE" rs Haverford then took to passing to overcome their inability to penetrate the Colonel line and moved steadily up the field to the six from where fullback Bill Shermer scored the Mainliners' second touchdown Marv Antinnes A REGISTERED TRADE-MARK.

Northampton St•• Wilkes-Barre Al Dobrowalski of the Week and Alesandro was nominated for Sophomore of the Week and gained honorable mention on the All-East Team. Last Saturday the team erupted for its biggest offensive showing of the season as it ran amuck over Haverford College, 33-12, for its second win of the season. The Colonels scored in each quarter except the third and racked up 275 yards against the Mainliners. Antinnes continued his role of groundgaining workhorse as he picked up 175 yards and scored two touchdowns. Tom Krisulevicz gained 44 yards and scored two TD's while Paul Aquilino accounted for the final score and the three extra points via point-after-touchdown boots. Haverford took the Colonels' opening kickoff and after losing thirteen yards to the Wilkes defensive wall on three ground plays, was forced to punt. Wilkes then too:k over on its own 45 and with Antinnes doing the bulk of the ball carrying, got to the Mainliners' 19, from where Antinnes crashed his way through an opening in the Haverford left tackle and outran the Haverford secondary to score. Aquilino then added the p_o int after touchdown with a boot between the uprights. After the kickoff the Mainliners were again forced into a punting situation and the boot was· partially blocked by Colonel guard Frank Spudis, enabling the Colonels to take over control of the ball on the Haverford 35. With Mulford and Krisulevicz doing the carrying, Wilkes moved to the 24 before losing the ball on a fumble. Frank Spudis of the season. An attempted pass for the points after touchdown failed as it was blocked by Ray Marchakaitus. Three plays after the kickoff, Al Dobrowalski intercepted a Mainliner pass on the 46 and returned it to the 33 yard line to set the Colonel offense in motion again. Four plays later Kr i s u 1 e vi c z smashed over from the one to give the Colonels a 27-6 lead. · Aquilino's try for the extra point was blocked. Chuck Cherundolo later broke through the Mainliner defense to block a punt and gave Wilkes possession of the ball on Haverford's 14. Two plays later Aquilino faked a handoff to Antinnes through the middle of the line and pitched to Krisulevicz in the flat from where he dashed around end to score.

Library Lists New Book Selections on Folklore Which Combines Reading Pleasure, Information by -Gloria Zaludek For anyone interested in reading for pleasure and enjoyment, among the new books which the library has purchased are The Realm of the Incas by Siegfried Huber, and The Aztecs: ' People of the Sun by Alfonso Caso. Both of these intriguing books are accurate and living portrayals based on original sources. The Realm of the Incas Peru has always been a land of mystery with its snow-capped Cordilleras, hot valleys, man-made terraces exploiting every inch of soil, and megalithic remains whose riddle has never been solved because the Incas never had a script. Siegfried Huber has written a lively and scholarly account of the Inca Kingdom from the arrival of the Conquistadors to the final capitulation of the last Inca, Tupac Amaru. He delves deeply into the myths and legends in an attempt to prove that the kingdom of the Incas fell into the hands of the Spaniards like a rotten fruit. This white-skinned race of autocrats had produced a fossilized constitution, in which there was no possible chance for human freedom and initiative. The Incas lived in a dream world of grotesque and bloody divinities. Huber is a keen observer and obviously fell under the spell of the country. The result is an entertaining, readable study which contains a number of plausible and intriguing theories. Having taught in South America for many years, the author knows the surviving remains of Peruvian culture at first hand. Above all, he has worked on the old Spanish documents and literature of the period. He concludes that the impassive natives today have changed little since the days of the Incas. They are still indolent, poor, and enigmatic; their noble faces differ little from those found on their pottery, or on the rare stone sculptures at Tiahuanaco. The Aztecs: People of the Sun At the time of the Spanish conquest of Mexico, Hernando Cortez and his lieutenants found there a people committed to the human sacrifice occupying a city so magnificent that the Spaniards viewed it with wonder and amazement. Here, illustrated with colored drawings and photographs, is a brilliant account of the Aztec people, their art, customs, religion, and practice of magic. Alfonso Caso, an archeologist and author of the book, surveys the gods that appear in the codices and archeological remains - the gods who make up the pantheon of the Aztecs. Being fundamentally a religious people whose daily lives were shaped by their gods, the Aztecs considered worship of the gods essential to their way of life.

Mr. Editor: The Students for Nixon - Lodge organization would at this time like to thank you and your paper, the Beacon, for the opportunity of expressing the Republican views for this presidential campaign. We appreciate your cooperation and the assistance of your staff for the time and space that were given to us. Thanks again to you, your staff, and the paper. Respectfully yours, Steve Robertson, Glenn Beebe Co-Chairmen, Students for Nixon-Lodge Jay Olexy Editor Dear Editor: Speaking for the members of the "Student for Kennedy-Johnson" club on campus, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you, the Beacon staff, and the adviser for your help in the recent campaign. We appreciated your assistance and apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused you. Again may we offer our Sincerely yours, Frances Olack, Jerome Krasa Co-Chairmen "' "' "' Editor of the Beacon, Today, November 8, I attended my sophomore class meeting, one at which attendance was not required. I would guess that there were 50 to 60 present. The main topic of discussion was consideration of consolidation of the sophomore and junior classes for the proposed "jazz concert" of this coming April 8. Our president, Brent O'Connell, declined to present his opinion concerning this consolidation, but did invite the president of the junior class, Joseph Shambe, to express the opinion of the junior class. Ralph Pinsky also attended the meeting as a representative of the junior class. A rather heated debate arose between sophomore class members and the two junior class representatives. Points in this debate were efficiency, prestige, profit, and cooperation versus animosity. Supposedly - the efficiency remains at the same level, whether or not the junior class helps the sophomore class; the prestige of the sophomore class is not increased by consolidation; the profit is cut in half by consolidation; and the reaction of individual junior class members, upon refusal of consolidation, will be either cooperative, or uncooperative. Obviously, all of these points can be contested from two different points of view. My purpose in this letter is not to condemn or approve the final decision which refuted consolidation. I simply would like to ,p oint out a lesson which I learned from this meeting. It is connected with political science. We have -learned from study of political sciimce the fact that American national politics is partisan. We have learned that party politics often disregards national welfare. I see our Wilkes sophomore class meeting as a miniature imitation of our national ,p arty politics. To make myself clear - we, the sophomore class, considered the benefits which our class will derive, - did we consider the benefits which the student body, as a whole, will derive, - did we try to benefit the college as a whole? Respectfully submitted Ania Symmons Sophomore P.S.-I reasoned out my feelings about the subject after the meeting was over, and use this opportunity to express my views now. Friday, November 11, 1960 ELECTION ANALYSIS by Michael Bianco A record turnout of some 67,000,000 voters contributed to what may be called the most crucial Presidential election in this · century. The results of the election are fairly evident, but the unpredictable factorspersonality and religion-may never be measured accurately; these factors may have been the most important determinants in the election. Nonetheless, a close analysis of the evident factors in the campaign will point to several highlights. Foreign affairs was one of two areas where the candidates clashed directly. Within the foreign affairs area the issue of policy toward Quemoy and Matsu was probably the most hotly debated. Mr. Nixon, you recall, maintained that not one inch of free soil ought to be ceded to the Chinese Communists. Mr. Kennedy stated that the islands were indefensible and not worth the lives of our men. Eventually both men ml;>ved closer to the policy of President Eisenhower and the issue , nded. M#. Nixon attacked Mr. Kennedy's position on Cuba when he deplored armed intervention as tantamout to world war. Mr. Kennedy changed his initial position from armed intervention to the use of propaganda in Cuba. Mr. Kennedy suggested that the prestige of this country was at the lowest level in the history of the country. Mr. Nixon maintained that the status of the United Statets in world affairs was at an all time high. In domestic affairs, the main issue centered around the role the new administration would play in the nation's economic and social problems. Vice-President Nixon stated that the Eisenhower administration had given America great prosperity. He pledged to build on this foundation through programs encouraging individual responsibility in the "business section" of the economy. Senator Kennedy assailed the inertia of the Eisenhower administration in the economy and advocated greater government spending in areas such as education, agriculture, and medical care for the aged. Both candidates urged greater development of the economic and social aspects of the nation. Other factors were the elections for the Senate, House, and governorships. In the Senate thirty-four seats were at stake, twenty-three of these were held by Democrats, eleven by Republicans. With twelve of these seats certain to be Democratic, it appeared as though the Senate would have a Democratic majority. In the House all 437 seats are up for election, but, continued Democratic control is likely even though the . Republicans gained several seats in the election. Twenty-seven g~vernorships are at stake; fourteen of these positions are held by Democcrats, thirteen by Republicans. With governors divided at thirtythree Democrats and seventeen Republicans, a Democratic majority seems assured. Early returns show that Senator Kennedy's large vote in several states swept in underdog Democrats in local and guebrnatorial contests. Perhaps in no other Presidential election has the personality and image of each candidate been so vital; this factor was borne out by the widely televised debates. More than Mr. Nixon's stumping 65,000 miles and fifty states or Mr. Kennedy's travels of 78,000 miles and forty-four states, the television debates gave the electorate a closer glimpse of the image and personality of the candidates. Political observers seem to agree that neither candidate "won or lost" the series of four debates; however, Mr. Kennedy greatly benefited from the joint appearances since he was less well-known than the Vice-President. Nixon aides said the debates were disastrous for the Vice-President because Kennedy was given equal footing with his opponent. Although both candidates tried admirably to disregard the religious issue, the "silent religious vote" was decisive. Senator Kennedy's religion would undoubtably be the sole reason for millions of votes being counted for and against him. A fifteen to thirty per cent increase in the Catholic vote over 1956 aided Kennedy's win in the large industrialized states; the Jewish vote was 85 to 95 per cent for Kennedy. The latter may have swung South Carolina, Texas, and Maryland; these and other states with large Negro populations could have negated the rural Republican vote for Nixon. This religious issue may be one of the factors contributing to the record turnout but it is not unlikely that the televised debates and get-out-the-vote drives aided in diluting the religious factor. Consolidation Denied Freshmen Meet Tuesday In Sophomore Meeting As Official Organization by Doug Keating Plans for bringing in a famous name musical group were the main topics of discussion at the sophomore class meeting, held Tuesday at 11 o'clock in the Jewish Community Center. President Brent O'Connell re,p orted on the progress made so far in regard to the concert. He said that the administration had approved the class's having the concert, and Saturday, April 8, 1961 had been set aside on the school calendar as the date on which it is to be held. O'Connell submitted a list of musical groups which are available. Among those mentioned were Ralph Martieri's orchestra, Duke Ellington's combo, and the singing groups, The Brothers Four and The Four Freshmen. The class came to no decision on which group it wished to have. This question will be definitely decided at the next class meeting. The Junior Class had also planned to have a similar program, but, since the administration will allow only one concert during each school year and since the sophomore class had been first to receive permission to hold one, the junior class proposed that the two classes should cooperate on the concert. Junior class president Joseph Shambe and junior class me:inber Ralph Pinskey were present at the meeting to pre'BEACON' NOTICE sent the junior class ,p roposition to There will be a very important the sophomores.

Edward Rogalski, president, outlined the immediate purpose of this meeting; that is, to mold the largest freshman class ever to enter Wilkes into a well-organized solid-functioning unit which will be able to satisfactorily fulfill its obligations. The procedure for appointment to the Freshman class Executive Council will be explained at this meeting. The first duty of this group will be to draft the constitution of the Class of 1964. Another important topic of discussion will be the class project. Rogalski stated that this project promises to be a successful one which will aid the community as well as bring prestige to the class. The newly elected Student Government representatives, Dick Emmel, Lou Coopey, and Fred Smithson, assumed their representative duties by attending their first Student Government meeting last Monday night. ~hey will report on their present and proposed future activities on Student Government at this class meeting. The final topic of discussion will concern planning the class social activity, a dance, scheduled for Saturday, February 10 of next year. �Friday, November 11, 1960 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 3 Gridders At Home Against Haverford Boolers Host Franklin & Marshall; Defealed by Geltysburg Bullets/ 3-0 Left to rigt: Chew, Zwiebel, Neddoff, Ontko - The curtain falls on the 1960 soccer season tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock when the Colonel soccermen play host to a strong Franklin & Marshall squad at Kirby Park. The Diplomats from Lancaster won last year's rough and tumble affair, 3-2. Wearing the Blue and Gold uni- form for the last time will be center-forward Lou Zwiebel, centerhalfback Bob Chew, left halfback Jim Neddoff, and goalie Bob Ontko. These Colonel legmen will graduate in June, 1961.

Colonels Down Dickinson, 6-0; Antinnes Leads Way, Scores TD On Plunge lo Cap 81-Yard Drive Antinnes Named Athlete; Fullback Scores TD, Carries Ball 120 Yards Laurels for this week's Beacon "Athlete of the Week" have been be st owed upon "Mu st ang" Marv Antinnes. Marv, the bread-andbutter ball carrier of the Colonels, gained 120 yards _ 61 in the important touchdown march - and scored the touchdown in Wilkes' 6-0 win over Dickinson last Saturday. He was lost to the team after the first two games of the season when he injured his shoulder during an intra-squad scrimmage. After he returned to the team, he quickly regained his form and has since done the bulk of the ballcarrying. The amiable gridder ranks second in the MAC in yards gained by rushing and is averaging 3.5 yards ,per carry. This is especially impressive when one realizes that he missed three contests because of his injury. Football isn't his only claim to fame. He became the first Colonel wrestler to gain national honors when he was crowned 177-pound class champion in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics tournament. He also gained top runner-up honors in last year's Wilkes Open Wrestling Tournament, was 177-pound Middle At!antic Conference champion last year and was named the Beacon Athlete of the Year for 1959-60. Marv is a senior secondary education major and graduated from Forty Fort High School where he won honors in football, wrestling, track, and debating. He is active as vice-president of the Lettermen's Club and is a member of the Education Club. team handed the Colonel hooters their fourth consecutive shutout, 3-0. The Bullets scored their initial goal midway in the second stanza when a corner kick by Gettysburg outside Tom Truex bounced off Colonel defender Jim Neddoff's knee into the net. This was the second "gift" goal the Wilkes legmen have given up this season. The Blue and Gold threatened many times in the opening half but always lacked that extra push needed to score. A mixup in the Colonel backfield set up the second Bullet goal and Gettysburg inside O'Gore promptly took advantage of this error by banging home a score. The third tally of the contest came late in the game when an ever-eluding ball sli.pped through the Wilkes defense and halfback Seitter bounced the loose ball into the net. Outstanding for the Colonels were fullbacks Chuck Weiss and Erwin Guetig and goalie Bob Ontko. -Ontko registered eighteen saves while the booming kicks of the fullbacks kept the ball out of Wilkes territory most of the afternoon. Halfback Bob Chew teamed with linemen Lou Zwiebel, Clyde Roberts, Frank Lepore, George Tensa, and Walt Prusakowski to give the Colonels their most frustrated offense. Tomorrow the football tea:m takes on the Mainliners of Haverford College in the first game of a two-ga:me home stand which will close the Wilkes 1960 football season. Haverford, which holds down last place in the Southern College Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference, has no victories against six setbacks. There is no football record between Wilkes and Haverford. While the Colonels were picking up their first victory of the season last Saturday at Dickinson's expense, 6-0, the Mainliners suffered a 22-·0 defeat at the hands of Ursinus College. Despite the fact that they possess one of the top ten pass r eceivers of the MAC in end Bob Jenks, they have been plagued by scoring difficulties, a 20-6 loss to Pennsylvania Military College being the only game in which they have managed to score. Last Saturday the team won its first game of the season as it defeated the Demons of Dickinson College to ruin their homecoming wee½end. Fullba~k Marv Antinnes, leadmg_ groundgamer of the afternoon W1th 120 yards, put the game on ice in the final seconds of the second quarter a~ he. capped an 81 yard Colonel dnve ~1th_ a plunge through the Red D~v1l lme for a to1;1chdown. The d:1v~ came after vy11ikes had held D1ckm~on on the eight after center Durbm Wagner had blocked a punt. The game had opened with Wilkes launching an early drive. The Colonels took the Red Devil kickoff on the 25 and returned it 30 yards to the Dickinson 45. A series of line plays took the ball deep into Dickinson territory but the drive was stopped when fullback Bob McNutt intercepted a Colonel pass on the 25. The game was played in a slight driz.z le that turned into a steady downpour in the final period. The Wilkes touchdown drive in the second period was the only sustained drive that either team was able to mount throughout the game. The second half saw both clubs bog down and exchange punts near the midfield marker. The only casualty of the game was Colonel guard Don Eller who suffered a slight concussion in the final period and was kept in the Carlisle General Hospital overnight for observation. Don, however, will be able to play in tomorrow's game with the Haverford Mainliners.

This system will facilitate arrangements for all involved. The studio can take appointments from 9 through 5 daily. Sittings will take no longer than fifteen minutes. Seniors must have had their pictures taken by the Thanksgiving recess. This change in plans has been made primarily to accomodate the variant senior schedules; it is hoped that the seniors will take advantage of this change and will have their pictures taken as soon as possible. The price of the sitting is $3.00; this price will be applied to the total cost of the picture order if the order totals ten dollars or more. A schedule of club pictures will be placed on the main bulletin board near the Cafeteria entrance. All club pictures will be taken in the gym, unless the club is notified otherwise. Club presidents are urged to check this schedule ' and to notify their club members of the date and time of the picture. ************************ TONY'S S.

Dr. Michelini stated, "One of the things that every student should learn is that the sciences are not a static thing to be learned once and for all, but a continually growing thing in' which new:, developments r equire periodic overhauls of _ our ways of looking at, ind understanding: the world and universe _around u s. One of the , niost important thi~gs that a ·young person cah learn in school is the necessity of keeping up with his - field, and probably the most important things that such a young person can learn are the m_e thods of , study and the habit of study which make it possible for him to do so." Michelini -pointed out that research experience has an important influence upon the undergraduate student. H e stated that our goals should be a shift in emphasis from acquired knowledge and techniques as-· an end in itself to its proper role · as means to an · end and the inculcating of an awareness of the · static nature of our knowledge.

Operator's License by Bob Bomboy The Federal Communications Commission has granted a station license to the campus radio club. The station, K3NOM, has been operating under the auspices of the Radio Club since April. · The club meets in Parrish Hall. Dr. Detweiller, the Radio Club's advisor, has extended an invitation to anyone interested in amateur radio to attend the club's meeting, today at 3 p.m. in Pickering Hall, room 101. Seven of the new club's fifteen members are presently working for ? their novice license and four more ' amateµrs are working for their general class license. No one may operate a radio transmitter without a license. Inaugurating a new broadcasting service, the Radio Club will transm it student messages to various points on the Atlantic seaboard. Radio units at Fordham University, Long Island, St. Anthony's Friary, New Hudson, Connecticut, and Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, will receive and relay any student message. All messages to be transmitted must be received by the club's president, Al Kish el, before 3 p.m., Friday. Cooperating directly with Wilkes in establishing this Intercollegiate mateur Radio Network, Lehigh University's Radio Club, organized in 1926 with call letters W3AEG, has contributed invaluable technical assistance. The local radio club will publish .. more complete list of student services at a later date.

This is a mock United Nations meeting whereby stud ents of various colleges in the Mid-Atlantic Coast area take the part of m ember country delegates. World problems are discussed in accordance with United Nations rul es. The question of whether or not it is beneficial to hold the MGA at Wilkes arose, and a motion was passed to allow Vince Capo to make the decision. Capo, vice-president of the MGA, will attend a continuation m eeting in N ew York, and if he decides that the m eeting should be at Wilkes, h e will submit an application. A delegation will be sent to Montreal to attend the UMGA. This is a similar organization in which students from colleges from various parts of the world take part. Heading the delegation is Gary DeHope. The other delegates have not as yet been chosen. Michelini Discusses Role Of Research at Directors Conference in Capital by Mary Frances Barone Dr. Francis J. Michelini, assistant professor of biology, addressed the directors' meeting of Undergraduate Research Programs at the Statler Hotel in Washington, D.C., on October 28. The text of his speech included the role of r esearch in undergraduate science curricula and foundation science program for undergraduates of Wilkes College. Dr. Michelini presented to the directors from variou s colleges and universities the liberal arts college philosophy with regard to research. His discussion included the techniques developed here at Wilkes. Dr. Michelini stated that research plays an important part in a teacher's academic activity, but it is a greater value as an influence in the academic activity on the student. He presented the problems which have occurred at Wilkes in establishing its research program. The programs were the stimulating of faculty research and the stimulating of student participation in research. The first problem is a precursor to the stimulation of student participation. The purpose of the conference was to acquaint the non-experienced directors of the Undergraduate Research Program with the experiences of other colleges and universities who have participated in such programs. by Wayne Thomas Vice-President Richard M. Nixon was the choice for president of ·the United States of the majority of students who attended yesterday's assembly at the gymnasium. The mock election, held under the auspices of the Intercollegiate Conference on Government sowed Nixon to be the favorite by a vote of 443 to Kennedy's 371. A total of 841 votes were cast. Prior to the collection of ballots, Steve Robertson, president of ICG, introduced Jerome Krasa, co-chairman of Students for KennedyJ ohnson, and Glenn Beebe, cochairman of Students for NixonLodge, who presented the ,views of their resp ective candidates. . In addition to the 1·eg:ula1: poll, students were also asked to indicate their choice for president and vice-president if they were allowed to cross party lines in choosing from among the nominees. Although the results of this poll have not been tabulated as yet, there was strong t endency here for Kennedy supporters to choose Lodge for the position of vice-president. The mock election is the climax of the campaigns for both parties which have been conducted on campus for the past several weeks . Both the Students for Nixon-Lodge and the Students for KennedyJohnson groups have been active in conducting rallies and displaying posters favoring their particular candidates in various spots on campus. In addition to the debate, Henry O'Karma, executive director of the Wilkes-Barre Redevelopment Authority, gave his views on the need for urban redevelopment in the city of Wilkes-Barre. He also explained to the students the need for the present bond issue which has been placed on the November 8 election ballot for consideration. ICG is also sponsoring an election night party in the cafeteria at which time those present will be served refreshments and will watch the election r eturns on television .

Philip II, whose empire stretched as far as the Pacific Islands known today by his name as the Philippines, Franco's Valle de Jos Caidos, the memorial cathedral literally carved into the rocky mountain, presents the largest and probably the most modern Roman Catholic church in the world. The cathedral is dedicated to the fallen people of the Spanish Civil War on both sides. It is interesting how the bloody civil war is still on everybody's mind and lips in Spain. The Iberian peninsula owes the uniqueness and charm of its architectural designs to the Moorish influence, and much of its medieval glory to the Arabic and Jewish scholars. We saw our first- and last- bullfight in Barcelona. These fights are staged every Sunday afternoon, chiefly for the benefit of foreigners and tourists, it seems. We saw seven strong bulls killed piece-meal in a most uncavalierlike and unsportsmanlike manner; the price of the meat was flashed on the board as soon as the body of the killed animal was removed. The price (continued on page 3) Friday, November 4, 1960 Presenting The Issues (REPUBLICAN) by Steve Robertson, Glenn Beebe The Democrats, in this election, have tried to portray Jack Kennedy as a friend of the laboring man. In truth, Mr. Kennedy is not a friend of the laboring man, but a friend of the powerful union leaders of this country. This is clearly evident when you examine his record. Jack and brother Bobby were both connected with the McClellan Committee, which investigated the corruption in American unions. Senator Kennedy was certainly aware of the advantage taken of the working man within the unions by powerful union leaders. However, when Sen. McClellan (D.-Ark.) introduced his "Bill of Rights" amendment to the Landrum-Griffin bill, Sen. Kennedy voted against it. (The vote on the amendment ended in a tie, which Vice-President Nixon broke in favor of the bill). This amendment provided the working man with the right to vote as to whether they wanted to go out on strike, fairer elections within the unions, and, in general, gave the member a larger say in the internal workings of his union. Why did Senator Kennedy vote against this? - Needless to say, the majority of the union leaders in the country were violently opposed to this bill. Mr. Kennedy said of the bill, "This is the most vicious piece of labor legislation in 20 years." · To say that he is not at least partly controlled by the powerful union leaders is to be very naive. Senator Kennedy has branded as a lie the Nixon statement that the Kennedy farm program will boost food prices 25%. The Nixon charge is not merely campaign oratory, however, it is based on the detailed analysis of the program by career Department of Agriculture economists - many if not most of them Democcrats. The Department of Agriculture analysis is a devastating critique of the Kennedy program. The report declares: 1. The 3/ 5's of American Agriculture not under Federal Control would be brought under government regulation. 2. Administrative costs for the program would be three hundred eighty million dollars. The number of administrative personnel would be quadrupled. 3. People would be forced to leave the farm at a record rate. The farm plant would shrink 20% and the farm employment would decrease by more than one million workers. Another million people now engaged in servicing the American farmer would be unemployed. 4. Food prices would jump 25% and the cost of Jiving index would jump 6 points. 5. The cost of the farm commodity program would be shifted to the consumer. 6. Food prices would rise so high that no farm product could be exported without large subsidies. At present, the subsidy needed to export a bushel of wheat ' is $.50. Under Mr. Kennedy's program, this would have to be increased to $1.75. Mr. Nixon's program, conversely, will be, if anything, less expensive than our present farm program.

The American farmer should find him self in this position within the next 20 years . (N. Y. Mirror, ·10-19-60) There can be no argument that ( continued on page 3) (DEMOCRAT) by Jerome Krasa, Frances Olack A decent minimum wage is the right of every American citizen. The Democratic Party is the party which consistently works for an adequate minimum wage. We find ample evidence of this when we look at the record of both parties. It was the Democrats who raised the minimum wage to 75 cents an hour. In July, 1955 the Democratic 84th Congress raised the minimum wage from 75 cents to one clollar an hour despite Eisenhower-Nixon opposition. In the 86th Congress, Democrats introduced a bill to extend coverage of the Fair Labor Standards Act to more than 7 ½ million workers and to raise the minimum wage to $1.25 an hour. Again the Democrats ran into stiff opposition from the Administration who claimed the raise was exorbitant. But in the five years since the $1 minimum was voted by the Democrats, the increase of productivity and the rise in the cost of living have provided new justification for an increased mm1mum wage. The Democrats recognfae the need for a realistic minimum and work to increase the minimum to keep wages on a par with living costs. Looking at the record of both parties concerning labor, we again find the Democrats on the side of the worker while the Republican Party traditionally resists efforts , to improve the condition of the working man. Eisenhower Administration refused to honor its 1952 campaign promises to amend antiunion provisions of the Taft-Hartley Law. Martin Durkin, the first Eisenhower Secretary of Labor, resigned in protest over this in 1953. The Administration us ed its influence in blocking a bipartisan labor .reform act in 1958. The GOP filled vacancies on the Labor Board with anti-labor, pro-management spokesmen. The Democrats, on the other hand, have a proud record concerning labor legislation. In addition to increasing the minimum wage, the Democrats have put through measures dealing with unemployment compensation and fair labor standards. The Democratic 85th Congress created the McClellan Committee to root out corruption in both labor and management. This Committee made great strides in cleaning up corruption in this field. In the 86th Congress, Democratic bills in both House and Senate proposed to improve unemployment insurance by higher benefits, c o v er age of workers in small companies, and grants to states in financial difficulty because of high unemployment. These improvements were opposed by the GOP. A Democratic Administration can be trusted to continue to recognize the human rights of the worker, his essential economic value and his fight to share in the prosperity which could not exist without him. We again come to the vital issue of foreign policy. We have seen no improvement in the Administration approach to this subject since we first discussed it. Cuba is still a Communist camp. Belatedly, the United States has taken economic sanctions against the government of Cuba. But until we obtain a multi-lateral agreement with all the Latin American countries with respect to sanctions, they can't be effective. Senator Kennedy has consistently advocated such a multilateral agreement. Richard Nixon would have committed this country to the defense of Quemoy and Matsu even if attack on these islands were not a prelude to an attack on Formosa ( continued on page 3) WHAT - WHERE - WHEN I.C.G.

Coach Jim Ferris has been working his forces very hard this week . in hopes of overcoming the Colonel's biggest weakness, the inability to score. With this added emphasis on scoring, the Colonels have hopes of unleashing their biggest offense of the season. Last Saturday the Elizabethtown College soccer team invaded Wilkes with hopes of adding the Colonels to their list of victories. After the dust had cleared, the Bluejays had picked up their sixth win of the season, 6-0. The E-towners scored in every period to keep their leadership in national scoring honors but a spirited Colonel defens!! kept the NAIA champions considerably under their game average. The highflying Bluejays had been averaging close to twelve goals per game but the stellar play of goalie Bob Ontko and fullbacks Erwin Guetig and Erwin Guetig Chuck Weiss allowed only six "COKE" IS A IIIEQISTlll:ED TRAOE•MARI(.

The Bluejays drew first blood late in the first stanza when Carroll Hershey took a pass from his brother Al and dented the Colonel goal with a left foot shot. With seconds remaining in the first half, the E-towners got their second goal on a corner kick by Yurchak which Al Hershey headed into the net. Yurchak found the range in .the second half to bang home three goals as the hard-pressed Colonels began to tire. Although they were lacking in experience, the Colonel team gave the Bluejays their roughest game of the season to date. Goalie Bob Ontko registered 33 saves to keep the scoring down. Halfbacks Toluba, Neddoff, and Chew teamed with insides Tensa, Changee Chae and Frank Lepore to harass the usually effective passing game of the Elizabethtown eleven. Clyde Roberts and Lou Zwiebel once again were the top offensive threats for Wilkes. With three inches of water covering most of the field, the soccermen were out-sloshed, 3-1, by the East Stroudsburg Warriors on .T uesday. Field conditions gave · spectators visions of water polo matches as the two teams chased the ever-eluding muddy ball about the park. The Teachers drew first blood as Barry Wray scored a goal halfway :through the second period. He had kicked the ball into a puddle in front of the Wilkes goal and al_though goalie Bob Ontko had dived at the ball, it floated into the goal. East Stroudsburg struck fast for two goals early in the third period as Paul Grube and Karl Dickl dented the Wilkes net. The 'mudriddled Colonels tried to fight back but couldn't get the necessary power behind the ball until late in the third period when outside left Clyde Roberts struck home with a left foot shot into the net. Both teams threatened in the last stanza but the watery field, poor footing, and heavy ball prevented further scoring by both teams. Susquehanna s 34-yd. Pass Play, Pass Interception; Field Goal Acco uni for Colonels 9-0 Loss 1 Tomorrow the football team _travels to Carlisle, Pennsylvania to take on the Red Devils of Dickinson College in a MAC contest scheduled to get underway at 1:30 p.m. The last contest between the two teams was in 1958, the Colonels losing to the Demons, 12-0. The composite record of Wilkes against Dickinson is one win and one loss. · The Colonels will be without tackle Ed Gavel, who pulled ligaments in his right leg during practice Monday afternoon. Ed Gavel While the Colonels were losing to Susquehanna, 9-0, last weekend, Dickinson lost a close game to Lebanon Valley, 10-8. The Dutchmen shook off the scare of a Dickinson first quarter touchdown and came on with a touchdown and field goal to win and retain their dominance of the Northern College Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference. Saturday's game with Susquehanna was a defensive battle for the team as their deepest penetration of the game took them to the Crusaders' 24 early in the fourth quarter. A 34 yard pass play and an interception of a Colonel pass which set up a field goal accounted for the afternoon's scoring. Marv Antinnes and Tom Krisulevicz accounted for the Colonels' 104 net yards, Antinnes with 84 and Krisulevicz with 20. Despite the efforts of the strong Wilkes defense, Susquehanna picked up 215 yards and completed two out of six passes. The Crusaders' touchdown followed an exchange of punts early in the first period. After taking possession of the ball on their own 17, Larry Kerstetter and John Luscko brought them down to the I Wilkes 34 on a series of running plays.

The remainder of the second half · was a defensive battle between the - two teams, with rival tackles Frank · Spudis of Wilkes and Dan Remler of the Crusaders turning in out' standing play. Spudis recovered one fumble and forced another while Remler came up with two recoveries of Colonel fumbles. None of the breaks turned out to be of any advantage to either team. The Blue and Gold opened strong . in the third quarter but Susquehanna halted the running successes of Marv Antinnes, who had brought the ball all the way from his own 34 to the Crusaders' 34. . Susquehanna then turned around- and moved to the Colonel 38 after a pass interception by Glen Bowman and a series of penalties against Wilkes.

This paper, which marks the beginning of English periodical literature known today as the magazine, was the joint work of Joseph Addison and Richard Steele. It satirized the middle class and offered literary criticisms, but contained no news. Dr. William J.

Rickover at Teachers' Meeting by Wayne Thomas The inferiority of American schools as compared to European and Russian systems was the important theme of a talk given by Vice-Admiral Hyman G. Rickover at the ninetieth annual Education Meeting of the Luzerne County Teachers yesterday morning in Coughlin High School auditorium. "Criticism - Why?" was the title of the admiral's message in which he stated that our country is in danger of being taken over by an adversary of a better educational Vice-Admiral H. G. Rickover system because our educators are resisting criticism. He said that the public is biased against the critic because individuals themselves do not ·want to be criticized. Admiral Rickover stated that all reform has always been .sparked by criticism. In comparing our school system with that of Russia, Rickover pointed out the fallacy of the belief that the Russians devote more time to the sciences in their schools aµd neglect the humanities. The fact is, he stated, that the Russian school system devotes more time to BEARDS FOR NOVEMBER 11 STUDENT WEEKLY WILKES· COUEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA Town and Gown Series Presents Concert Tenor The greater part of Mr. Patton's recital performances have been in the mid-West with the Minneapolis Pops Symphony Orchestra, at the Little Theatre of Cafe Espresso, · and at the Minneapolis College of Music. Concert tenors are always in short supply, and in his debut recital the following revue remarks were made: "His tone is even and clear . . . good range . . . consistency of timbre . . . interpretive imagination." At the present time Mr. Patton is studying in New York City at the Manhattan School of Music, and before this year studied in Rochester, New York. The program will cover a wide range of works from the vocal literature, including works of Moneverdi, Bach, Schubert, and Warlock. Mr. Booth will .p erform a group of solo piano works. The public is cordially invited to attend without charge. MEN: GROW THOSE both the sciences and the humanities than does the American system. He also said that greater achievement is expected from a graduate of the Russian ten-year system than that expected from a graduate of our twelve-year schools. Rickover also challenged the argument that many Russian school chil°dren do not complete their education by quoting the fact that in 1957, only 58 per cent of American fifth grade school children completed their high school training. In comparing our system with European schools he said that 3 / 4 of the students in Europe who go on to higher education receive state support. He also said that the ability of the individual European student in foreign languages is superior to that of the American student. Rickover also criticized our methods of school administration when he said that administrators often make decisions about such matters as school building construction and curricula without consulting the teachers who have the greatest amount of knowledge in, this area. He said that Americans 1 regard the clerical aspect and the "housekeeping" of education more highly than the actual teaching. Admiral Rickover also com. mented on the status of the American teacher as compared with the teacher in Russia or in Europe. He said that the teaching profession outside the United States is respected much more than it is in our country. A d m i r a 1 Rickover graduated from the Naval Academy in 1922 and received his master's degree in electrical engineering from Columbia in 1929. He was assigned to the Bureau of Ships for the greater part of World War II and in 1945 he was named to the staff of the Commander, Service Force, Pacific Fleet, following which he became Industrial Manager at Okinawa. He was later assigned to the Manhattan Project at Oak Ridge, Tenn., and for his work there he (continued on page 3) FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1960 No~ce Debat~rs Meet at Students to Participate in Mock Les high; Ya rsity Obpens Election at Next Assembly Program eason m 0ecem er b y Doug K eat·mg "' byBob Bomboy The Wilkes College Debate Society will prelude this year's forensic competition by entering Lehigh University's Novice Debate Tournament at Bethlehem.

Cat's Meow Offers Halloween Then1e by Sandy Biber All the cats are meowing about the senior class dance which will be held in their honor Friday night at the Wil:kes College gymnasium. The felines will gather there at 9 p.m. and purr to the music of the Bill Jerome Quintet. The cats will be admitted free to the dance. All other creatures must pay fifty cents. A Jack-o'-Lantern contest will be held at intermission. Humans attending the dance may bring a pumpkin carved as grotesquely as possible. The creator of the most frightful lantern will receive a Halloween surprise. Cider , and doughnuts will be served as a tonic to those timid souls who may be frightened by the decorations. However, if you are the type of -p erson who thrives on horror and have your own skelet,;m in the hall closet, you, too, may support the senior class by buying as much cider as your ghoulish souls desire. Mr. and Mrs. Cromwell Thomas and Mr. Welton Farrar will chaperone the dance and also supply smelling salts to the dancers. The senior class hopes that all who wish to have a memorable haunted Halloween will shiver along to the Cat's Meow. ATTENTION SENIORS!

Jvy-COVered Walls One of the beautiful features of a campus is that of ivy spreading itself over college buildings. We have many halls which fit in this category. The question may be asked, however, are we allowing the ivy to cover us? As time and ivy move over our college, so does the need for adjustment to twentieth century progress. The administration has emphasized progress in many facets of college life. One segment of college life has gained the attention of other institutions, and might be food for thought at our college. This is the gradual equalization of regulations between men and women's dormitories. At the University of Kansas, a Privilege Plan for senior women has been inaugurated. This plan entitles any senior woman with 80 hours and 90 grade points, and written permission from her parents, to check out a dormitory key permitting her to come in after closing hours. The success of the plan will be reviewed after a one semester trial and the advisability of making the program a permanent one will be considered at that time. Certainly, a program of this type involves the concord of all dormitory women with the administration. It should be based on the maturity and proven ability of the women students of the school. The success or failure of the program at Kansas will be observed by colleges and universities across the nation.-C.A.H. It's Yours -- To Read and Share For the past several weeks it has been noticed that a large number of copies of the Beacon have been unnecessarily going to waste because many students, after glancing briefly at the paper, discard it even before leaving the campus on Friday afternoon. It should be pointed out here that the Beacon prints 1500 copies weekly at the rate of approximately eleven cents per copy. The expense of producing a sufficient number of copies for distribution is passed along to the student through his tuition charges and therefore it is up to the individual student to make good use of his investment. The business staff of the Bea.con takes great pains to insure that there will be a sufficient number of copies for all students. It is hoped that students will share their copies of the paper with their family and friends outside the college in the future instead of carelessly discarding their copy within a few hours after the Beacon is released on campus. W.W.T. Education Club Visits Service Center; Plans Field Trip to Industrial School by Pat Rossi Members of the Education Club are planning a field trip to the KisLyn Industrial School next Tuesday. About 60 students will tour the school to note the various methods of instruction and the educational set-up. The group will leave from Wilkes at 12:45 and will travel in cars to the Kis-Lyn School. Senior members of the club will receive preference. Last Tuesday, October 25, other students from the Education Club visited the Wyoming Valley Children's Service Center on Franklin Street. They toured the building and observed the educational procedures used in training the children. This visit proved to be very informative and interesting. Officers of the Education Club are: Bob Amey, president; Joan Leggetts, vice - president; Peggy Churchill, secretary; Sally Price, treasurer. Miss Roderick and Dr. Hammer are the club advisors. -WHAT - WHERE - WHEN - Dear Editor: Why is the school spirit at Wilkes at such a low ebb? Why aren't the students taking an active part in supporting their teams? A justification cannot be found for the lack of enthusiasm shown by the students. Is our college one of the many that must have championship teams before they get behind them? Remember it's much harder to support a losing team. A losing team needs the cheers and shouts of a cr owd, much more than does a championship team. You have a fine organization on campus which is trying to instill some vim and vigor into the crowds at the games. But they can't do it alone, they need your help. So as they say, "get with it," fill up those empty bleachers, and cheer our team on to victory. The Spirit of Wilkes *** Dear Mr. Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to all people who participated in the organization of Homecoming Weekend. In my opinion, this year's Homecoming was very carefully -p lanned and executed in all of its many phases. The car caravan and the bonfire on Friday night were very well attended. The spirit evinced at the football game on Saturday did credit to the work of the School Spirit Committee, the cheerleaders, the band, the kickline, and the newly organized twirlers. The Undergraduate Dinner Dance on Saturday night was well attended, as was the Alumni Dance at the Country Club. I would like to extend a special thanks to Bill Davis, Homecoming chairman, for the wonderful job he did in coordinating the various activities, and to Jay Olexy and his Beacon staff for their moral support throughout the weekend. I was proud to be a part of the weekend, and I will remember it for many years to come. Sincerely, Beverly Major * * * Dear Mrs. Slattery: On behalf of the Wilkes College Chemistry Club I would like to thank you for your offer of the use of your power supply for our homecoming display.

(continued on page 3) I Friday, October 28, 1960 Presenting The Issues (REPUBLICAN) (DEMOCRAT) by Steve Robertson, Glenn Beebe The Eisenhower administration and the Republican Party in general have been accused time and time again of being against social legislation such as: Social Security, Medical care for the aged, and workmen's compensation. "Let's look at the record." Social Security was expanded to cover an additional twelve million people. Unemployment insurance was extended to an additional six million three hundred thousand people. The Administration made it possible for hundreds of thousands of mothers to deduct the cost of child care during working hours. The Federal Government alloted a total of three billion five hundred million dollars to public health. Eighteen million families now take larger medical expense deductions on their income tax. Fifty million more Americans are covered by medical and hospital insurance. All this from a Republican Administration that isn't supposed to care. As Mr. Nixon has said, "We are not going to stand on this record, we are going to build on it." (Saturday Evening Post, 10-8-60, p. 113) American education will be no better and no worse than the individual American wants it to be. This r esponsibility cannot be passed by the people to Washington, it must be undertaken in the school room, in the P.T.A., and in the local school board. We need higher teachers' salaries and more classrooms desperately. No one is more aware of these problems than Richard Nixon. "Let's take a look at the record." Under the Republican Administration new classrooms have been added to our schools at the rate of sixty thousand a yearthree times the rate of the previous administration. The Federal Government provided an additional $899 million to colleges and universities an d federal research grants direct to schools and students totaled over $430 million dollars. The Republican Administration has done all of this without federal control, without interfering with the right of the local school boards to set the standards for the education of their children. Mr. Nixon, when elected, will initiate legislation to provide funds for the construction of urgently needed new schools. These appropriations will free the funds of local school districts so that they may be used to raise teachers' salaries. The Democrats, on the other hand, propose legislation which would give the state the funds. The state would then allot these funds to the local school boards. The funds would then be used for either teachers' salaries or the construction of schools. Nevertheless, we must not lose sight of the fact that these funds are Federal funds. There is not a single case on record of Federal spending without Federal control. Under the Democrats' proposal, the funds would be . allotted according to ,Population. This means that concentrated areas, which invariably have the best schools and the highest teachers' salaries, would get the greatest share of the funds. The Republicans, however, will allot these funds to the areas of greatest need rural and suburban areas where the need is great and the tax income is low. Vice-President Nixon wants higher teachers' salaries and better schools just as much, if not more, than Senator Kennedy. However, he wants this to be accomplished in the American way, without Federal control or restriction, thus preserving the right of the American people to decide how their children should be educated. Much has been made of the fact that President Eisenhower vetoed the Democrat depressed areas bill. As would be expected, his reasons for doing this have never been mentioned by the Democrats. We feel that these reasons, based wholly on fact, completely vindicate the President's judgement in this matter. (continued on page 6) by Frances Olack, Jerome Krasa At this time we will present the truth concerning the following three facets of domestic policy: depressed areas legislation; federal aid to education; and medical care for the aged. Republicans concede the need for depressed areas legislation. The Republican inconsistency between word and deed is evident when we see that twice in the -p ast two years the Republican President has vetoed depressed areas legislation passed by a Democratic Congress. Senator Kennedy led the floor fight in the Senate in 1958 for this legislation. When contacted earlier this week, Congressman Daniel J. Flood, cosponso:r of the depressed areas bill, had this comment to make concerning this legislation: "The Republican leadership has been against this kind of legislation and principle from the ·b eginning. They consider it socialistic, un-American, and unnecessary. Only the violent reaction from the people in the depressed areas, Republicans and Democrats, caused them to belatedly change their minds by offering a totally inadequate substitute, in keeping with the very best Republican tradition. The Republican statement concerning the superiority of their bill is a sham and a fraud. The Republican bills are authorization bills and not appropriation bills. No allocation of funds to any area could be mentioned legally in any such bill. As a member of the Appropriations Committee, I would not be in a position to decide 'who got what!'" Republican inconsistency is evidenced again when we look at the r ecord concerning federal aid .to education. Despite strenuous efforts of local and state governments, we are not keeping up with the growing need for schools. As a result, there is a present shortage of 130,000 classrooms and 135,000 teachers. The Republicans pay "lip service" to a concern for this problem and promise to do all in their power to ameliorate these conditions. Their true "concern" became evident when Richard Nixon cast his tie-breaking vote this February against a Democratic bill which would have provided $1.1 billion a year for four years to be used for school construction and-or teacher pay, as each state chose. Thus, anything Nixon says must be regarded as having little relationship as to how he would act on such an issue. Democrats propose to include health insurance - as a right under the Social Security insurance system. Slightly higher Social Security taxes, ,p aid during one's working years, would entitle a person to paid-up health insurance in his old age, with a free choice of hospital, nursing home, and doctor. The use of general revenues to finance health insurance for the aged would be restricted to those not covered by Social Security. The Democrat's health insurance proposal has received impressive support from experts and independent observers. J. Douglas Brown, dean of faculty at Princeton University, said of the Democratic proposal: "No other means or mechanism can perform this necessary function with as much economy in cost or with as much respect for the needs, rights, and dignity of all concerned." (Washington Post, 4-6-60) Political expediency finally forced the Administration, late in the 1960 session of Congress, to come up with a rival, cumbersome, costly, and probably unworkable -p lan. It is a charity plan requiring an "income" or "means" test - a degrading experience for the applrcant, and an administrative headache because verification of eligibility would be required annually. It would shift the administrative burden and half the cost to the already overburdened states, which may be ( continued on page 6) �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 28, 1960 3 Grants Offered For Graduate Work Danforth Foundation Scholarships Availahle in All Fields of Study Dr. Farley has named Dean Ralston as the liaison officer to nominate to the Danforth Foundation two, or not to exceed three, candidates for 1961 fellowships. This program is open to sen,ior college men and recent graduates who are preparing themselves for a career of college teaching, and who are planning to enter graduate school in September, 1961, for their first year of graduate study. The foundation welcomes applicants from all fields of specialization to be found on the undergraduate level. Those accepted may hold this fellowship concurrently with other scholarship appointments such as the Rhodes, Fulbright, and Woodrow Wilson. The qualifications of the candidates are outstanding academic ability, personality congenial to the classroom, and integrity and character, including serious inquiry within the Christian tradition. All applications must be completed by January 15, 1961. All interested students are requested to see Dean Ralston as soon as possible.

Union Progressing by Neil Castagnaro The main emphasis of last Tuesday's Inter-Dormitory C o u n c i 1 meeting fell upon their proposed adoption of a foreign student. Nancy Palazzolo, who is chairman of a committee which includl'S Hugh Gladstone and Lida Gerstel, outlined their plans to date. A foreign orphan will be selected by the Save the Children Federation. This student will be supported by contributions from the student body through the I.D.C. and proceeds from the Student Union. Also an anonymous donor has promised $50.00 per year for the support of the foreign orphan. When· the foreign orphan reaches college age, Dr. Farley has promised a four-year full tuition scholarship, so that he may continue his education at Wilkes. To defray transportation and dormitory expenses a separate fund is to ·b e establish ed by the I.D.C. A report on the conversion of the basement of Barre Hall into a student union was also given. All the main supporting beams have been set in; the tile flooring and electrical wiring will be installed within the next two weeks. This work is to be supervised by a committee of I.D.C. members and volunteers headed by Richard Lewin and Dave Peters. A sum of $400 has been provided for the completion of this project - $200 from the Student Government and $200 from the administration.

Il'i HOMETOWN A:M:ETIJICA LETTERS TO THE EDITOR (continued from page 2) Wilkes College hazing system "Bravo!" We are, however, a bit confused as to your reasoning, Mr. Van Dyke. In fact, we doubt very much whether or not you know what you are talking about. To our knowledge, you have been an avid fan of the hazing program and have used it to inflate your otherwise depressed ego. We have indeed noticed that you participated most actively in the so-called "brainwashing," and may we add that you were very effective in this program. You also enjoyed hell night, did you not? In fact, you took many pictures of the proceedings to ever hold these precious moments. Were they precious insofar as you witnessed men (both freshmen and upperclassmen) enjoying themselves, or were these moments precious because you saw men being "sadistically" treated. We heard no screams of agony. We saw no blood. We saw only a ritual in which freshmen were being formally accepted into the dormitory. ·what is so terribly "foolish," "illogical," and "sadistic" about that? In reference to your comment about the "weak," do you realize the serious consequences that can arise in protecting the "weak"? The weak must be strengthened rather than mollycoddled. As one of our freshmen (after h ell night) so aptly put it: "Hazing does not make or break a person; rather it brings to the surface that which has always been within." No doubt, gentleman, a small minority will always take advantage of a situation to appease their own "weak" tendencies. However, must you, "in all truth and sincerity," condemn an entire school for the actions of. these few? We feel that on the whole, this year's hazing program satisfied the needs of the incoming freshmen, and made their adjustment into college life easier and more enjoyable. For this, the upperclassmen should be praised rather than degraded. Au contraire, (we too know French) hazing can only be improved by constructive rather than destructive criticism. Sincerely, John Adams and Ronald Ciccone Two Programs Presented by National Science Foundation by Bob Bomboy Approximately 1200 graduates and 150 postdoctoral fellowships in two programs during the 1961-1962 academic year will be awarded by the National Science Foundation. --• • P ERS ONALS by Roberts S.

Marv Antinnes, Jerry Mohn, Tom Krisulevicz, and Al Dobrowalski have all received this honor, with Mohn also having once been named Sophomore of the Week. However, the team has so far failed to utilize its potential and win a game. The soccer team's prospects are not too good this weekend. Elizabethtown, perenially one of the strongest teams in the east, is now riding high with one of the most powerful teams in its soccer history. The Bluejays' line is fast and accurate, having scored an average of 11.25 goals per game in its first five games this season. Last weekend they defeated Drexel Institute of Technology, another school that annually fields exceptionally strong soccer squads. The Hofstra game saw the backfield display fine defensive play, especially by Chuck Weiss and Bob Ontko. Both of these men can kick the ball beyond the mid-field marker with little effort, Weiss having actually set up Zwiebel's score which was the deciding margin against Hofstra. Perhaps the backfield that played so well against the Hofstra line that possessed fine passing abilities and accurate "head" ball, will be able to keep Elizabethtown from scoring and set up some goal shots for the linemen.

In a highly defensive MAC contest, the ,h ooters won their second match of the season last Saturday by defeating the Flying Dutchmen of Hofstra College, 1-0. The game was hard fought throughout, but the Colonels played flawless defensive ball to keep the Hofstra hooters out of scoring range. Lou Zwiebel got the only score of the afternoon early in the third period after Chuck Weiss had set up the play with a booming kick from deep in Wilkes' territory. Zwiebel missed his first shot at the goal as it bounded off the Hofstra goalie's knee but Lou quickly retrieved the ball in the scramble around the net and shot it in. Outstanding for the Wilkes legmen were the fullbacks Chuck Weiss and Erwin Guetig and goalie Bob ·Ontko. Ontko registered 25 saves in chalking up his first shutout of the season.

Former Wilkes Athlete Returns to Coach '60-'61 Swimming Team Colonels' Drives Bog Down In 10 -0 Loss T O Lycom1ng · · John Reese, director of athletics, has announced the appointment of Carl Havira as coach of the Wilkes swimming team for the 1960-'61 season. A 1960 graduate of Wilkes, having majored in secondary education and social studies, he is currently assistant athletic director at the Wilkes-Barre Catholic Youth Center. While at Wilkes, he set records in swimming and achieved intercollegiate recognition in both soccer and swimming. He was named to Who's Who in American colleges and universities in his senior year. In his sophomore and junior years he was given honorable mention at outside left on the All-MAC soccer teams and as a junior was second in goals scored by the Colonel boaters with eight and led the team with eleven assists. As a senior, he was co-captain of the soccer squad. In swimming, which he was instrumental in re-establishing as an intercollegiate sport on campus in 1958, he holds five records: in the 200 yard butterfly, 200 yard breaststroke, 200 yard individual medley, and the 220 and 440 yard freestyle event s. He captained the swimming team in his senior year and went undefeated as he accounted for 70 points. In his sophomore year he placed fourth in the All-MAC swimming tournament in the 200 yard butterfly and as a senior placed fourth in the 100 yard breaststroke. He was vice-president of the Lettermen's Club and was treasurer of his class as a sophomore and vicepresident during his junior year. Tomorrow the Colonel football team hosts the Crusaders of S us q u e h a n n a University at 2 p.m. in Kingston High School Stadium in an effort to pick up their first victory of the season against five consecutive defeats. Last year the gridders spoiled the Crusaders' Homecoming game by defeating them, 12-7, in one of the most surprising upsets of the season. The game saw Wilkes come from behind to score two touchdowns in five minutes during the third quarter after Susquehanna had led at halftime, 7-0.

Last Saturday saw the team lose its fifth straight of the season as is was defeated by Lycoming College, 10-0, on Bowman Field in Williamsport. The Warriors' scoring came on a seven-yard field goal and a plunge from the three. Wilkes threatened three times during the game but could not muster enough offensive push to score. The Colonels threatened early in the game after Nick Alesandro recovered a Lycoming fumble on the Warriors' 27. Lycoming's defense held and Wilkes lost the ball on downs after netting only nine yards in four plays. Early in the second period, Tom Krisulevicz recovered a Lycoming fumble on the Warriors' 37. Again the Colonel ground attack bogged down as they managed to gain only eight yards on four plays and had to hand the ball over on downs. Lycoming managed to put some points on the scoreboard late in the second period as end Al Bouvier blocked a Colonel punt which was picked up by end Don Dyke who got all the way to the Wilke·s seven before being brought down from behind. The Colonel defense held and after three plays had gained nothing for the Warriors, Stan Okotkewitz came in and booted a field goal, giving Lycoming a 3-0, lead. The .only good complete drive of the game was made by Lycoming halfway through the third period, when, after taking possession of th.e .ball on their own 44, they went 56 yards on the ground in ten plays for a touchdown. Halfback Burt Richardson scored on the plunge from the three. ,Okotkewitz kicked the extra point and ended the scor- Millie Gittins, Manager BOW HUNTERS ARCHERY HEADQUARTERS For All TOP NAME Equipment In Stock WILKES REVERSIBLE JACKETS 2 - LEWIS-DUNCAN - 2 SPORTS CENTERS 11 E.

The two teams fought a scoreless ballgame until late in the fourth period when a shot by Muhlenberg lineman Kindred bounced off Colonel fullback Erwin Guetig's knee into the net. The score came during a mix-up in the Wilkes backfield and Kindred's boot looked like an easy save for goalie Bob Ontko until the fluke bounce off Guetig's knee. Such freak goals happen rarely and marked the second time this season that the Mules have been on the receiving end of such a "gift". Outsta.nding for Wilkes were goalie Bob Ontko, who made 25 saves, fullbacks Chuck Weiss and Erwing Guetig. Despite the bad bounce off his knee, Guetig continued the fine defensive play that he displayed against Hofstra. Halfbacks Ted Toluba, Bob Chew, and Jim Neddoff aided the Colonel defense and added offensive support to the line of Roberts, Zwiebel, Prusakowski, Tensa, and Lepore throughout the game. I ing for the day. For the Colonels Marv Antinnes was top ground-gainer of the game with 62 yards. Frank Spudis was one of the top men on defense, highlighting his .p erformance with a pass interception in the fourth period on the Lycoming 42 and carrying it to the 28 before being brought down. Wilkes, however, could not advance any further. The game came to a close with Wilkes on the offense again, this time on the Lycoming 18 following a. blocked punt.

It dispersed the money of the bill so thinly that the effectiveness of the legislation was greatly reduced. This bill did not restrict itself to dealing with chronically depressed areas, but also covered areas which were only temporarily depressed. For example, two areas which were covered under the stipulations of the bill when it was first written, no longer were eligible for aid when the bill came to a v ote. This showed a complete lack of understanding concerning the problem at hand. For the information of the people in this area, the Administration bill would have guaranteed twice as much money to this area as would the Democrat bill. This is not a debatable opinion; it is a fact and has been proved. The truth of the matter is simply this : the Democrats are using this as a ,political issue, and are showing no concern for the depressed areas in question. If they cared they would have passed suitable legislation on this problem. This should be evident to anyone with the slightest amount of intelligence. . Did the Kickline look a little less than perfect at the WilkesUrsmus game? If so, there was a reason other than wayward bears and football players. The twenty-eight members of the "Line" had been practicing faithfully the past two weeks in anticipation of their first appearance of the year, the Homecoming Game. By Thursday preceding the game, the girls had all their costume accessories, but the eagerly awaited outfits hadn't been completed. However, the dressmaker who had been hired to sew the costumes assured Jan Bronson, captain of the "Line" that all costumes would be finished by early Saturday morning. Members of the "Line" were told they would be able to pick up their costumes .bY 11 :00 a.m. at Chapman Hall, but when the girls arrived at the dorm they discovered that half of the costumes had not been delivered! ! Peggy Churchill, co-captain of the "Line" had gone for the costumes and discovered they had not been finished. She then called the dorm and told the girls to meet her at the Kingston Stadium. The Kicklin was scheduled to appear at 3 :00 p.m., but five minutes before the scheduled performance Peggy still had not arrived with the costumes. Just when the girls had given up hope of performing, Peggy made her appearance. Upon hurriedly changing into the costumes, the girls made some startling discoveries. None of the costumes fitted well, the workmanship was poor, and all the outfits were lacking hems. However, the show had to go on. Once off the field further confusion was caused by the rambling Ursinus Bear and members of both football teams, but in spite of all obstacles the girls proved that the "Line" has the fortitude to perform even under the most unfavorable conditions. Moo-Moos lo Acl Al Home Games oy Neil Castagnaro This past weekend was the deb ut of the newest branch of the School Spirit Committee (S.S.C.) in its performance at the Homecoming game. The Moo-Moos, under the capable leadership of Jeff Gallet, are a group of freshmen who are dedicated to increasing school spirit at all athletic functions. At the Homecoming game they were active in leading cheers and getting the "Home" fans seated in the res erved sections. They continued their spirit-raising antics with the aid of water pistols and clown makeup throughout the entire game and were successful in this endeavor. The Moo-Moos will continue to function throughout this semester and next. Their captain plans activities and antics for all future athletic events at home. The MooMoos are seven in number. Their captain expressed a desire that more people join. Membership is open to all male freshmen. See J eff Gallet of Ashley Hall if you are interested in membership. The charter members of the MooMoos are Jeff Galet, captain; Boyd Manzer, Walt Dexter, Bill Schmidt Gary Einhorn, Harry Tobias, Mik~ Landesman. BARTLETT'S QUOTATIONS Wise men through the ages have had some pointed things to say about education and study. As we face the new semester with high hopes and some trepidation, perhaps some words from the wise might offer solace. Below are listed quotations all having to do with academic life. How many can you correctly identify? 1. The learned are seldom .p retty fellows, and in many cases their appearance t ends to discourage a love of study in the young. 2. Note too that a faithful study of the liberal arts humanizes character and permits it not to be cruel. 3. Of making many books there is no end; and much studying is a weariness of the flesh. 4. Educational relations make the strongest tie. 5. For the student there is, in its season, no better place than the saddle, and no better companion than the rifle or the oar. 6. Order and simplification are the first steps toward the mastery of a subject - the actual enemy is the unknown. 7. No profit grows where is no .pleasure ta'en; In brief, sire, study Trethaway Attends SAM Meeting byJerome Kulesa Mr. Harold P.

Eichelberger, Executive Director of the American Association for the United Nations, will speak at Tuesday's assembly. The assembly, pointing up the importance of the U.N. as a steadying force in international relations, will be held in conjunction with the local observance of United Nations Week. Mayor Frank Slattery, in proclaiming October 23 through 29 as United Nations Week, locally, explained that the importance of the U.N. cannot be minimized. : Two years ago, Eichelberger, drawing on years of public service as a statesman, author, and world traveler, delighted our assembly with his warm Illinoisian humor and easy manner. As National Director and Chairman of the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies, Mr. Eichelberger served the nation and the world. Eichelberger materially assisted the preparation of the American draft of the Charter of the United Nations in his capacity as Consultant to the Department of State during World War II. Later, in 1945, at the San Francisco Convention, Mr. Eichelberger aided the U .S. delegation which helped •p repare the Charter of the United Nations. Eichelberger will discuss some of the problems now facing ,t he United Nations, in rapid-fire succession on Monday and Tuesday, to audiences at the Hotel Sterling, the Jewish Community Center, the Rotary Club, and the Wilkes assembly. by Patricia Boyle The Institute of International Education has announced that November 1 is the deadline for accepting applications for Fulbright scholarships and InterAmerican Cultural Convention awards.

I I Beggars Welcome at Paupers' Swing Tonight Nation~] Poetry Contest Open to Students �2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 21, 1960 EDITORIAL- A Memorable Weekend Last week's Homecoming festivities were certainly a credit to all, students and administration alike, who worked so diligently for its success. Special mention must also be made of the fine weather which greeted the beginning of the weekend and continued through Sunday. The weather added immensely to the colorful Homecoming pageantry-the student displays, the soccer game, the crowning ceremonies, and the football game. As expected, Queen Beverly and Princesses Betsy and Jan gave each activity which they attended a refreshing touch of royal beauty. The Undergraduate Dinner-Dance was, as last year, attended by a capacity crowd. All seemed especially exuberant over the singing of Dean Ralston and the Collegians. From the alumni view point, the week-end seemed to be the best ever. The Warm-Up party was held at the Carousel Motel for the first time, and many remarks were heard concerning the pleasant atmosphere which prevailed. The weekend concluded with the Alumni Dance at the !rem Temple Country Club. As in the past, this affair was well attended. We certainly enjoyed seeing many friends and renewing acquaintances at the dance. Special commendation should go to Gordon Roberts, Executive Alumni Secretary, and Bill Davis, Homecoming Chairman,. for their fine efforts in bringing about a successful Homecoming.

XXXXXIIXXXXXIXXXIXXIXIXJ To the Members of the Student Body: This letter, unfortunately, will be published at th e end of the 1960 Freshman Orientation Program. Lt is not being published in time to put an end to the injustices of this program, but we hope that it will act as a catalyst, to speed up a long-overdue r eappraisal and r econstruction of Freshman Orientation . . The purpose of orientation is astonishingly simple : it is designed to help the incoming freshmen adj ust to a new way of life so that the years he will spend at colleg e will be rewarding ones. A s a result of ,t he weakness of the present program, thoug htless or misguided upperclassmen a re permitted to r elease their near-sadistic tendencies or to compensate for th eir feelings of inferiority by taking advantage of ,t he naive and inexperienced freshmen. If the purpose of the program is to help th e freshmen adjust, bravo! This is a fine and noble task to w hich the upp erclassman must apply himself arduously and maturely. But if, in reality, there is an ab erration, a deviation from the normal course and purpose of the program, the intelligent observer or par ticipant in such a program must, in accordance with his rationality and reason, shun such a falsifi ed and ignoble pr ogram a s arduously as we work ed for the fine and noble. But, you sa y, what are the injustices of which I am speaking? When the incoming freshman arrives at Wilkes College, he is bombarded by a w eek of welcoming speeches, teas, dinners, a nd parties. During this week, life for him is relatively easy and fre e from stress; he is handled with kid gloves . But as he wakes to begin his first day of classes, the ,t reatm ent of the previous week abruptly comes to an end. Not only must he contend with the trying a nd sometimes fru strating problem of academic adjustment, but he must also accomplish this while under the additional inconvenience of generally being subservient and pandering to requests of the most ridiculous and humiliating nature. If we examine the situation carefully at this point, we will see one of the more illogical and unjust deviations of the program. We refer to the inequality and imbalance of it. The day student, who continues to life in an atmosphere which does not facilitate speedy adjustment to his new educational environment, is left relatively untouched and unassimilated, while the dormitory student, who is constantly surrounded by students with whom he lives, is made to bear the greater effects of upperclassman maliciousness. In the dormitories, the freshman's burdens are compounded. Ther e, he must study in between answering phones, shining shoes, going out for food, scrubbing stairs with a toothbrush, and otherwise catering to the whims of his sup eriors. The dormitory freshman, further more, is subjected to acts so crude and barbaric in nature that many of them defy description in a n ewspaper. It might here be advantageous to enumerate some of the less barbaric practices which are performed on Dormitory Hell Night: Subjection to physical mistreatment as exemplified by paddling and the application of heat and pain-producing ointm ents to the body. Subjection to processes which amount to brainwashing. Subjection to the willful destruction of personal property. Subjection to acute and unnecessary servitude and humiliation. Subjection to situations of dangerous and traumatic effect. Subjection to mild physical disfigurement, e.g., the shaving of W's and the dying of hair. You say, "Well, the great majority of dormitory freshmen come (continued on page 4) This is the fourth in a series of articles concerning some of the issues prevalent in the current presidential cainpaign. by Jerome Krasa, Chairman, "Students for Kennedy-Johnson" It is necessary at this time to correct the misleading statements which were presented in this column for the last two weeks. Much that was presented was not the truth. Regardless of what may be said about the kitchen debate, the fact remains that the Vice-President admitted to the world that the United States was behind the Russians in certain areas of scientific rocket development. (N.Y. Times, 7-25-59) A well known and undisputed fact of the constitutional law of any nation is that, should a Prime Minister and his cabinet be forced to resign, his government is said to have fallen. This remains true if his party stays in power or not. Before making his trip to South America, Mr. Nixon was warned by our State Department that trouble was brewing there. He was stoned as a symbol of adverse reactions to GOP policies in this area. These riots were "Communist inspired" only because Eisenhower policies toward Latin America provide a fertile bed for Communist infiltration. Walter Lippman, the noted columnist, wrote that "those who are responsible for the management of our relations with South America must answer to the charge of gross incompetence." Although it is true that a large crowd turned out at Washington's National Airport to welcome Nixon home from South America, they came to pay their respect to the office of the United States Vice-Presidency which had never, under any administration, been so humiliated and degraded in the eyes of the world. It is interesting to note that many points of my previous article were not even considered. It was not denied that only the Democratic Party cared enough about our foreign policy to make use of the best brains the Republican Party had to offer, and that the Republicans have disregarded this element of bipartisanship. It was not denied that the Eisenhower policy of tying economic aid to acceptance of military bases has caused many nations to join the neutralist camp. The Kishi Government <lid fall, along with the friendly governments of other nations. World opinion toward us is deteriorating. Every year we find fewer nations supporting our fight to keep Red China out of the United Nations . . The 22 nations who abstained this year were more than enough to have turned the close vote against us . It was not denied that Cuba is now a member of the Communist camp. Our prestige in South America has slipped so far that the new president of Brazil had to curry favor with Castro in order to win the election. These items were not even mentioned in the last two weeks for even twice as much space cannot deny the facts. In consideration of Nixon's experience, we find that his past record is incompatible with the claims of experience now being put forth in his behalf. In 1947, Nixon was a member of the GOP · 80th Congress which disregarded President Truman's request for aid to Korea. In 1949, Nixon cast the deciding vote which killed the Korean aid bill only 5 months before the Communist attack. Three months before this attack, Nixon was absent and unrecorded on passage of a bill for 100 billion dollars in military aid to Korea. He voted to cut initial military aid to our European allies by 50 per cent. (8-18-49) He voted to place a four division limit on U. S. troops in Europe. He was absent and unrecorded on the Point Four Program of technical assistance. (3-31-50) He followed the GOP "restrictionist" line in the fight for reciprocal trade. That was his foreign policy record. Merely to have travelled to many countries is no evidence of an understanding of the problems of these countries. Columnist James Reston commented as follows, "Senator Kennedy has probably been a deeper student of foreign affairs for longer than the Vice-President." (N.Y. Times, 8-2-60) Evidence of this comes when we consider the record of Senator Kennedy. Despite what anyone may have said to r epudiate Senator Kennedy at the time of his Algerian speech in 1957, the fact remains that Charles DeGaulle presently is seeking a solution to the Algerian problem along the moderate lines laid down by John Kennedy. A member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, chairman of the sub-committee on Africa, member of the Far East and Disarmament Sub-committees, Senator Kennedy recognizes and understands the problems of the world. In 1959, he co-sponsored a resolution which would establish an international free world mission to explore the long range foreign exchange needs of India and Pakistan. His proposals on India, such as the Kennedy-Cooper Resolution, his support throughout his terms in Congress of the Point Four Program, and his efforts to shift the emphasis of our foreign policy aid program away from a purely military basis are recognized as integral features of the realistic approach to foreign policy needed in the '60's. In 1958 and 1959, Senator Kennedy was joined by Senator Aiken in leading the attempt to drive a wedge between Moscow and her satellite nations by use of U. S. aid at the discretion of the President through an amendment of the Battle Act. He was one of the original co-sponsors of the Food-for-Peace Act which would greatly expand America's ability to meet the food and development requirements of needy nations. He co-sponsored the development of a 5-Year Development Loan Program as part of the Mutual Security Act. His views have won acceptance in such publications as Foreign Affairs (10-57), The Reporter (9-18-58), The Progressive (1-58), and The New York Times Magazine (7-8-54) to name only a few . His book "Why England Slept", a best seller published in 1940, was an acute analysis of public thought in England before World War II.

Both squads have a small nucleus of returning veterans but are faced with the identical problem of having to use inexperienced men on the starting lineup. This contest should be one of the best matched games on the schedule. .. Last year the two teams battled to a 1-1 tie in a muddy Wilkes Homecoming match. In the Homecoming contest last Saturday, the Colonel hooters were defeated by a spirited Lycoming College squad, 4-0. The team seemed to lack the spirit and drive that has kept Wilkes soccer at a high level. The Warriors started fast by stealing the ball from the Colonels early in the first period and promptly setting up Fred Feigley for their first goal. The hooters fought back throughout the quarter with Frank Lepore and Walt Prusakowski leading the way. Only the topnotch play of goalie Bob Ontko kept the Warriors from scoring again. Lou Zwiebel set up several scoring opportunities but there was a lack of a "big foot" to dent the net. (Photo by Y oblonski) Colonel outside left Clyde Roberts, in striped shirt, and an unidentified Lycoming defender collide in an effort to gain possession of the ball during Saturday's Homecoming game. "COKE" IS A RCQlSTEREO TRADE • MARK , COPYRIGH T 19S8 THE COCA• COLA COM,.ANY. Dear Diary... As I take my pen in hand, I take my bottle of Coke in the other hand! Yes, dear diary, where would I be without Coca-Cola? Just a social outcast. Why, everybody drinks Coke! John and Bill and Barry and Charley, Horace too. Confidentially, I think I'll have another bottle of Coke. Outstanding defensive play by both backfields highlighted the second period until a bad kick by a Colonel defender put the ball in front of the Wilkes net from where Travis banged it home for Lycoming's second goal. Lycoming struck again early in the third stanza for their third score when Mike Burr headed the ball into the net on a corner kick. The Colonels kept the ball deep in Warrior territory for most of the r emaining time in the quarter but failed to score. They came as close as possible when the ball settled on the goal line but although several linemen had a kick at it, the ball eluded their efforts and their biggest opportunity was lost when a Lycoming defender booted it out of scoring territory. The Colonels kept the pressure on the Warrior goalie throughout the first half of the last stanza but still lacked that "little extra" needed to score. When the Ferrist men began to fade with the final minutes ticking away, the Warriors reversed the situation and applied the offensive pressure on John Adams, the Wilkes goalie. Adams stood up against the sudden offense and robbed Lycoming of three goals with difficult saves but Travis hit the net for the second time in the day and gave the Warriors a 4-0 victory over Wilkes. Pinbusters, Alley Cats Tie for First Place; Watkins' 211 Sets Pace In last Sunday's intramural bowling competition the Alley Cats entered a first place tie with the Pinbusters by virtue of their,· 3-1 win over the Tornados. The Pinbusters split with the Scre"W;balls, winning the first two games only to lose the series by one pin. The Gutterdusters slipped to ,t hird place after managing to tie their first game with the Boozers. The only 4-0 shutout of the night was turned in by the Ebonites as they romped over the Playboys, giving the Ebonites a firm hold on second place. Mike Dydo, assistant football coach displayed fine form as he turned in a 381 total for two games and a league high average of 190 in the Boozers 3½-½ defeat of the Gutterdusters. Ebonites 4, Playboys 0 Behind Dave Sokira's 183-515 the Ebonites fought their way to a clean sweep over the Playboys. Bill Watkins' 211-528 was high for the Playboys. Ebonites: Sokira 183-515, 'fony Doknovitch 161-430, Bob Schechter 152-404, Steve Klein, 151-368, Elva Chernow 149-362.

Boozers 3 ½, Gutterdusters ½ The score closest to a clean sweep without actually going all the way was turned in by the Boozers as they and the Gutterdusters tied their first game before the Boozers took control of the situation and HUNTERS BOW Drink ~~ BE REALLY REFRESHED ARCHERY HEADQUARTERS For All TOP NAME Equipment In Stock WILKES REVERSIBLE JACKETS KEYSTONE COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 141 Wood Street The football team travels to Williamsport tomorrow to take on the Warriors of Lycoming College in an effort to pick up their first win of the season and to try to rid themselve,s of the seeming inability to capitalize on scoring opportunities., The Colonels were defeated, 13-0, in last year's contest between the two teams and their record against Lycoming stands at one win and five losses. The Warriors have essentially the same team as they had last year, having lost only three men through graduation. Their record so far this fall is one win and three losses, having picked up their first victory last Saturday as they downed Edinboro State College, 12-6. The gridders lost their fourth consecutive game of the season Saturday as they were defeated by Ursinus, 12-7, before a large Homecoming Day crowd in Kingston High School stadium. The game was highlighted by the Bears' left halfback Ron Ritz's 82 yard scoring return of the Colonels' second half opening kickoff to give Ursinus a 12-7 lead and all the scoring that was then needed to win. Wilkes' first opportunity came early in the first quarter when Al Dobrowalski's punt was fumbled by Ursinus on their 33, where it was recovered by Tom Krisulevicz. The scoring chance faded shortly thereafter as the Colonels gained only four yards to the 29 where the Bears took over on downs. Minutes later Krisulevicz intercepted a Ursinus pass and returned it to the 50, from where the Colonels marched to the Bears' five before again losing the ball on downs. Marv Antinnes, who had returned to the lineup after recovering from his shoulder injury, and Tom Krisulevicz did the bulk of the ballcarrying on this futile drive. The gridders' defensive wall held and Ursinus was forced to punt, with Krisulevicz returning it to his own 49. With Antinnes and Krisulevicz again carrying the ball, the team moved to the Ursinus one, from where Antinnes scored through a hole in the Bears' left tackle slot. Quarterback Paul Aquilino added the point after touchdown with a boot between the uprights. Wilkes led, 7-0. Ursinus came roaring back to the Wilkes 46 but were forced to punt. Again the Colonels started to move but a fumble gave the Bears possession of the ball on the Wilkes 36. Emmert, the Bears' quarterback, took to the air and hit Leatherman with a pass on the ten. Leatherman then carried the ball five more yards b e f o re he was brought down. Two plays later Emmert completed a pass to Allenback in the end zone for the Bears' first score. Wilkes led, 7-6. The second half started fast with Ritz' runback of the opening kickoff which gave Ursinus a 12-7 lead and all the scoring necessary to win the game. Statistically the Cplonels led by piling up thirteen 'first downs to six for the Bears. They outgained Ursinus on the ground, mostly on the running of Antinnes and Krisulevicz. Jerry Mohn was not the only member of the team to gain ECAC recognition for his outstanding play in the game as fullback Marv Antinnes received honorable mention from the conference in its weekly poll of press observers. Antinnes won the pair of Bostonian shoes which Tom MacHale of the Bostonian Shoe Department of The RUB had offered to the member of the team who made the longest run against Ursinus.

Queen Beverly, in our estimation, is an ideal representative of a growing, young college attempting to achieve the peak of excellence. For she, herself, with her sparkling personality, fine qualities of leadership, high intelligence, and a burning desire to do well in anything she attempts, presents an outstanding impression of herself and of Wilkes College. Likewise, Princesses "Betsy" and Janice are also typical of o,u r young college. Both are hard workers in all forms of campus ac;;tivities. Both have shown a conscientious and willing spirit 1 in anything which they have been called upon to do. They add a great deal of charm and beauty to the royal court. .. We were delighted as well with all of the sixteen nominations. Certainly, any of the nominees could have been fine representatives for this occasion, as all possess royal qualities. 111111111111111t11x11xxx Dear Mr .Editor: . As_ of _today the student partic1pat10n m the United Fund Drive has r eached approximately 33 per cent of the student goal of $1200.00. To be sure, this is an excellent start. However, it also means that Wilkes students have another half mile, as it were, to go. This, too, can be accomplished. Thus far certain clubs, dormitories, and classes have made their contributions, in part, as they continue their solicitation of members. All other dormitories, classes, and clubs are urged to make their Uni~ed Fund returns as money is receIVed so that a daily progress ' report posted in the Commons can be accurate.

Roberts The whole job is certainly a credit to those responsible for Executive Alumni Secretary This is the third in a series of articles concerning some of the issues prevalent in the current presidential campaign. by Steve Robertson and Glen Beebe, Co-chairmen, "Students for Nixon - Lodge" (This article continued from Octobe~ 7, 1960 issue of the Beacon) Mr. Krasa said: "We need a man of Senator Kennedy's proven ability to initiate a program of action to restore American prestige to former great heights." What ability? Proved where and how? What program? Rep. Sam Rayburn (D.-Tex.), Speaker of the House of Representatives, said: "It's ectsy for someone to say 'I can lead a great cause, but untested we cannot put faith and confidence and our perpetuity in hands like that." (N.Y. Times, 7-14-60) Mr. Krasa said that it was wrong to say that Kennedy would have apologized for the U-2 incident but merely would have expressed regrets. I would like to answer this with the words of Senator Kennedy's running mate, Sen. Lyndon Johnson, who shouted to a Washington State Democratic Convention at Spokane: '1 am not prepared to apologize to Mr. Khrushchev-are you? I am not prepared to send regrets to Mr. Khrushchevare you? (N.Y. Times, 5-13-60) On July 2, 1957, Senator Kennedy declared before the Senate: "Algeria is no longer a problem for the French alone, nor will it even be again," and introduced a resolution to support "an international effort to derive for Algeria the basis for an orderly achievement of independence." The New York Times had this to say about Kennedy's resolution: "Perhaps the strongest criticism which can be made I of the Senator's (i.e., Kennedy's) is that he has run a strong risk of making the situation worse. . . . Moreover, the impression that the United States may try to mediate on behalf 01 the Algerian nationalists will surely stiffen their resistance against the French." (N.Y. Times, 7-3-57) · . Dean Acheson, Secretary of State in the Truman Administration, in a lecture in Medford, Mass., on October 25, 1957, declared: "Nothing could be more · injudicious than Kennedy's proposal, excepting making it." Mr. Acheson said that if it were followed, the United States would join the enemies of France within a year to force that nation to an American concept of proper conduct. (N.Y. Times, 10-26-57) Robert Lacoste, the French Minister for Algeria was shocked by Mr. Kennedy's demand for U.S. intervention in the Algerian revolt. (N.Y. Times, 7-3-57) France's defense minister suggested today that Senator Kennedy was encouraging Algerian rebels to prolong their bloody rebellion. "I don't know whether Mr. Kennedy has nights without its appearance. It is a near certainty that the college is to gain nightmares," said the Minister, Andre Morice. *** ;much praise and perhaps some new friendships because of the "What I know well is that this will result in a great increase u;npression of growth-scholastically and socially-which "The Dear Editor: I wish to extend my sincere ap· of innocent victims and the prolongation of a drama that would ,Alumnus" gives. preciation to the student body and have been long ended if so many of our unthinking friends had to th0 se of th e Junior Class who weighed their words on their acts.

Main St. Oh, how I hope this letter has Wilkes-Barre, Pa. brought a little cheer into your Tony's Parking Center • • •••••••••••••••••• • LETTERS TO THE EDITOR (continued from page 2) October 6, 1960 Dear Editor: A major point in Mr. Nixon's campaign speeches is a declaration that the issues before the country are bigger than any party; therefore, the citizenry should vote for the man, disregarding the party. While this argument may seem plausible at first hearing, examination reveals that it is tenuous. A party system is a fundamental part of our governmental framework. At the apex of this framework is the President, whose success depends upon his ability to work adroitly within the party s~ructure. Consequently, the parties of the respective candidates are of great importance, and must be considered in conjunction with their nominees. The ability of the two parties to produce strong national leaders and to respond to national problems deserves careful consideration and evaluation. The two parties, contrary to often heard opinions do ~ave major differences, especially m ,t he area of national leadership. In many instances the G.O.P. has simply failed to respond to national problems. Renublican Presidents have generally been weak. Lincoln was nominated because his party believed that he could be controlled. Soon after his death, Lincoln's humane and liberal reconstruction program was repudiated by the Republicans. Theodore Roosevelt became President by accident, and he was forced to form a third party to _seek a second elected term. Just this year, Nelson Rockefeller was frozen out of a chance for the G.O.P. Presidential nomination, because he was too liberal for the Republicans! Those controlling the Republican Party have consistantly desired "safe" candidates for public office and protection of status quo. Thei; desires have been fulfilled as the lack-~uster records of Grant, Hayes, Harr~son, Arthur, McKinley, Taft, Hardmg, Coolidge, Hoover and Eisenhower demonstrate. ' Unlike the G.O.P., the Democratic Party has shown that it is the party of action and imagination Wilson responded to the problem~ of a new industrial society with his "New Freedom." Franklin D. Roosevelt responded to the socioeconomic problems of the Great Depression with his New Deal. :rruman responded to the challengmg problems of internationalism with a sound program of economic and technical assistance to the wartorn and underdeveloped nations; he also fostered the establishment of the defense alliance system now protecting the non - Communist world. There are vital differences between the parties. This is why Mr. Nixon is on shaky ground when he urges the voters to disregard party labels and vote only for the man. Perhaps he is hoping that the public will forget the compplacency that has characterized his party for nearly a century. Citizens everywhere should realize the truth of James Reston's contention, "The great issue in this campaign is which man and which coalition of forces he can wield will be best able to deal with the changing problems of the world." History shows us that the "coalition of forces" led by Wilson, Roosevelt, and Truman has been most responsive to the challenges of the twentieth century. That coalition is the aggregation of political elements which constitutes the Democratic Party. Senator John F. Kennedy offers strong leadership for this coalition for the 1960's.

This surpasses the amount collected at this time last year, and is a good indication that the college's goal of $1200 will be reached. The clubs, dorms, and classes are separated into divisions and there will be an award given to the group and class who has contributed the largest amount to the drive. All contributions should be brought to the third floor of Chase Hall as soon as possible, or they can ·b e given to the student representative of each class: Al Kishel, freshman class; Brent O'Connell, sophomore class; Joe Shambe, junior class; Bill Morris, senior class. Two bulletin boards will be in the Commons. One shows the amount collected so far and the other shows the various divisions and how much they have donated. The drive ends on October 21, and we urge everyone who has money to hand in, especially those who sold tickets to the United Fund Dance, to do so immediately. Organizations that already have contributed to the United Fund are as follows: Biology Club, the Collegians, S.A.M., Education Club, Lettermen, Psychology - Sociology Club, Butler Hall, Freshman Dance committee, and the four individual classes.

Butler Hall had formed a team and was scheduled to have a match with a newly formed faculty team but the faculty squad fail ed to appear. Butler Hall recorded the following scores: E. Reese 194-531, I. Guetig 158-4.48, R. Seifert 172404 and R. Blisick 135-392. Because of the addition of the Butler Hall and faculty teams, new bowlers are needed to complete a ten team roster. Anyone interested has been asked to be at Jimmy's Central Lanes Sunday afternoon at 5:30 p.m. I For his stellar perfonnance in leading Wilkes to a 3-2 victory over Lafayette Lou Zwiebel was chosen recipient of the Beacon's "Athlete of the Week" laurels. The speedy center forward scored one goal, set up another and led the Colonel offense throughout the contest. As this season is considered a year of rebuilding for the soccer squad, coach Jim Ferris has placed the bulk of the attack on the sboulders of Zwiebel. He responded in good fashion and the senior captain has been the leader of the team's offensive wall throughout the early part of the season. In the MAC contest against Lafayette, he displayed his soccer ability by dribbling and passing the ball through the Leopard backfield with little opposition. In the third quarter he took a pass from Jim Neddoff, carried it around the fullback and drove home the score with a left foot boot into the opposite corner of the net. In the final stanza he carried the ball through the entire Lafayette backfield a_nd set up Clyde Roberts for the wm-1 ning goal. The skill displayed by Zwiebel on the field cannot be fully appreciated until one stops to think that he never played the sport before coming to Wilkes. He has won his letters in soccer the past two years and last season led the team in individual scoring. A graduate of Meyers High School, he is majoring in Business Administration, is active in campus activities and is President of the Lettermen's Club. "TRESJOLI" is Ready to Serve You ...

Gametime for the match has been moved forward to 9 :30 from 10:30, ithe time originally scheduled. Lycoming battled the Wilkes hooters to a 1-1 deadlock last year. This season the Warriors have essentially the same team back and a g ood game is anticipated. The only common foe on the schedules of the two teams is Susquehanna University. The Crusaders downed both squads, edging Wilkes, 4-3, while shutting out Lycoming, 4-0. The Colonel soccermen scored their initial victory of the season last Saturday afternoon as they downed a strong Lafayette College team, 3-2. The Blue and Gold legmen scored early in the contest when inside right Frank Lepore dented the net on a pass from Pete Eckert. This goal stood up throughout the first half as top defensive play by fullbacks Chuck Weiss and Irwin Guetig and goalie Bob Ontko drove off Leopard attempts to score. The Colonel boot ers scored again midway in the third period when halfback Jim Neddoff stole a pass from the Lafayette line and set up Lou Zwiebel for the second Wilkes goal. The Leopards came roaring back minutes later as McCarthy scored on a twelve-yard penalty kick. Throughout the remainder of the third quarter the defensive play of Bob Chew and Ted Toluba kept the ball deep in Lafayette territory but the Ferrismen were unable to score. The fourth quarter was evenly fought until late in the stanza when Lou Zwiebel dribbled the ball through the Leopard backfield and set up outside left Clyde Rob erts for the third Colonel score. Again the Leopards roared back and with but three minutes remaining in the contest, Bruden scored the last Lafayette goal. Lafayette tried to recover the ball again in a desperate attempt to tie the game but the aggressive play of the Colonel backfield and linemen Dick Duffy, Walt Prusakowski, Rudy Schoenfeld, George Tensa, and Lou Zwiebel kept the ball in Leopard territory. ·***********************~ . . .

M~H~$$~~$C$$~~~~ CITY SHOE REPAIR View from the Sidelines Another semester is upon us and the fall sports program has already swung into high gear before this column could make its first appearance. Football coach Francis Pinkowski and his assistant, Mike Dydo, have been working the team hard, developing a series of formations and plays all of which ·P inkowski says the opposition has not seen yet. The Colonels have been hit hard by Marv Antinnes' injury. His absence has forced Pinkowski to shif.t players about in an effort to mount a strong offense while maintaining the strong defensive line. The injury to halfback Jim Brunza's knee labels him a question mark as far as tomorrow's game is concerned. A testament to the gridders' line came from Moravian quarterback "Jabby" Williams. In private conversation following the 'Hounds victory over Wilkes, he stated that the Colonels have a very strong line and that Moravian had not expected such spirited resitance. The key to a successful season now seems to be in the avoidance of injuries and in Pinkowski's ability to develop a strong offensive attack out of the available material. Incidentally, as an added incentive to the gridders in tomorrow's game, Tom McHale of the Bostonian Shoe Department of The Hub has announced that he will give a pair of Bostonian shoes to the member of the team who makes the longest run against Ursinus. Soccer coach Jim Ferris has admitted that in soccer, 1960 will be a year of rebuilding. The hooters were hard hit by graduation last spring with the loss of Carl Havira, Joe Morgan, Lou Davis, George Gacha, Charles Billings, and Ron Simms. However, the team has come a long way since the start of the season and has greatly improved. We had our first opportunity to see the Ferrismen in action last week during the Stevens game. T·he principal weakness of the team appears to be a lack of cooperative teamwork. An overeagerness to get to the ball regardless of where it was and a failure to effectively cover the Tech linemen were the weak points of the Colonels. The s•p orts doubleheader which highlights tomorrow's Homecoming activities will provide the student body with chances to see both teams in action. Soccer gets underway at 9:30 and football at 2:00 p.m. One might be inclined to shrug off soccer on the grounds that he doesn't understand the game. It is simple, much simpler than football and its incessant huddles, time-out periods, and accompanying headgear and armor. The object is to place ,t he ball in the opponents' goal in any possible way; with head, foot, knee, chin, kicking it, but without deliberately picking up the ball and throwing it, the goalie being .the only member of the team who may handle the ball. We hope that as many as possible will attend the games tomorrow. Athletics at Wilkes needs a definite boost from the student body. There can be no incentive to win unless the teams feel that ,t he student body is interested in them and can be assured of its support. agreement of both team captains. Makeup dates for postponed games will be November 15, 16, and 17, with the championship on November 21 between the top team in each league.

Manuscript Readies Artistic Film Program, New Student Conte~t At this year's first meeting of the Manuscript Association, held last Tuesday, Kurt Roberts, editor, introduced the club's new advisor, Dr. Philip Rizzo, to the group. The membership discussed activities to be sponsored by the Association this year. Tentative plans were made to continue the Manuscript Film Society's program of presenting films of literary and artistic interest during the year. The members also decided to consider a plan to sponsor a series of contests which would offer awards to the students whose contributions to the "Manuscript" are judged most outstanding by the editorial board in each of four categories: poetry, fiction, exposition, and art. These contests will be open to all students, and procedure for entering will be announced when plans are completed. The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 16, at 11 :00 in Pickering 202.

Frosh Sponsor UF Dance �Friday, October 7, 1960 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 2 EDITORIALS- A Lack of Interest As the first two weeks of the semester go "by the boards," we seem to have sensed a certain apathetic attitude on the part of the student body in regard to extra-curricular affairs on campus. Others, as well, are aware of this apathy but are not in the position to be as concerned about the situation as one whose job it is to report the activities of a college campus. To be sure, many have been working hard to promote and plan those things which add to the complete development of the college student. Unfortunately, it seems, these are the same people who have been "carrying the ball" in former years. We do not mean to imply by any means that extra-curricular activities deserve prime attention in deference to scholastic matters. We all realize our main purpose for attending college. We do, however, urge those who are not taking part in some form of extra-curricular activity to do so. By missing this aspect of college, they are losing the best chance to develop intellectual confidence, poise, sociability, and many other traits which help an individual to a full, mature life. One aspect of student apathy can be shown by the fact that no "Letters to the Editor" have been received by us as of the present. We don't mean to encourage a flood of letters about trivial matters, but we think that you should be aware of your chance to voice sentim.e nts concerning any form of student life. Address your letters to the editor of the Beacon and sign them. Your name will be withheld from print, if requested. We were also informed of the lack of cooperation exhibited at a recent Student Government meeting. Some members called upon to give reports were totally unprepared. This is certainly no way to insure a smooth operation of student affairs, and such conduct isn't indicative of responsible individuals. Finally, lack of preparation and planning is evident at the club level. Club meetings have been cancelled or postponed, and those organizations who have already conducted affairs have not cooperated with the Beacon to insure the receipt of adequate publicity. Let's all attempt to cooperate with the heads of the various clubs and organizations and to show some enthusiasm. If you are asked to do a task-get it done and on time. It is often the seemingly insignificant tasks that determine whether or not a project is successful. This will be in evidence next week when the best Homecoming display is selected. Sludenl Governmenl Elecls Two lo Appeals Courl by Gloria Zaludek Two students were elected as members of the Court of Appeals at the Student Government m eeting h eld last Monday night. The students elected were Sally Price, senior English major, and Pete Greenberg, junior biology major. Serving also on the Court of Appeals will be two faculty members and one member of the administration. Al Kishel, chairman of the United Fund Drive, announced that students contributing to the fund through clubs and dormitories need not make additional contributions to the class. It was announced that organizations sponsoring an affair will be notified by the Student Government three weeks in advance of the affair. This will give these organizations time to fill out and submit their student activity and_chaperone forms to a Student Government member two weeks in advance. Student Government will hold its meeting promptly at 6 p.m. on the first and third Mondays of every month. WIIAT - WHERE - WHEN Art Club Meeting - Conyngham Annex, 4 p.m., Today.

Homecoming Display, Halloween Dance On Senior Agenda Presenting The Issues by Sandy Biber The Senior Class discussed its plans for Homecoming Weekend at its meeting last Tuesday in Pickering 203. Jim Neddoff, chairman of the Homecoming Display Committee, briefly described the theme and the type of display which will probably be built. If the class can obtain a truck, N eddoff hopes to construct a flotit with "Colonel Cro0kett" presiding over it as it leads the car caravan to the football game on Saturday afternoon. Nominations were held for the Senior Executive Council. The senior student government members and the class officers will choose the members of the council from the nominees. Day students of the class were asked to donate to the United Fund. Boarding students will make their contributions through their respective dormitories. The class also voted to give twenty dollars to the United Fund from its treasury. Plans were formulated for a dance which will be held Friday, October 28. The dance, entitled "The Cat's Meow", will have a Halloween theme. by Steve Robertson and Glen Beebe, Co-chairmen, "Students fo-r Nixon - Lodge" Education Club Has Record Attendance At First Meeting by Mary Alice lsganitis Members of the Education Club began the Fall semester with a record attendance at the first meeting. Included on the agenda were futur e plans for discussions on teaching in foreign countries, psychology and education, and teaching the physically and mentally handicapped. A field trip to a home for mentally retarded children and a visit to Kis-Lyn Industrial School for boys are also included in future plans. A panel of student teachers will discuss their experiences in student teaching later this year. This discussion will aid students in finding out more about their vocation and in gaining knowledge which will be helpful to them as teachers. Wilkes is a charter member of the Student Pennsylvania State Education Association and the permanent home of the Northeastern District of the SPSEA. Meetings with various colleges throughout the Valley are held each year. Officers for the coming school year are: Robert Amey, president; Joan Leggetts, vice-president; Peggy Churchill, recording secretary; Nancy Davies, corresponding secretary; Sallie Price, treasurer; and Janice Bronson, librarian. All students interested in the field of education are invited to attend the next m eeting which will be h eld at 11 a.m., October 11, in Pickering 203. PERSONALS by Robert S. Evans William Space, Robert Austin, and Foster Swan completed the Junior Platoon Leaders Class at Quantico, Va. this summer. Upon completion of the senior program they will be commissioned as second lieutenants in the United States Marine Corps. Miss Jean Shofranko, 1960• graduate, and Robert Payne, class of '59, were honored by members of the Meyers High School faculty at a t ea recently. The two former Wilkes students are members of the English department at Meyers. Josia Mieszkowski, former student at Wilkes and active participant in Cue 'n' Curtain musicals, is spending a few days on campus visiting friends. Miss Mieszkowski is now residing in New York. Miss Barbara Ba chman, 1960 graduate and campus personality of that class, recently became engaged to Frank Edwards, r ecent graduate and editor of the Amnicola. This is the second in a series of articles concerning some of the issues prevalent in the current presidential campaign. Students of Wilkes: We agree with the only intelligent statement that appeared in this column last week: "Foreign policy is the primary issue of this presidential campaign." We will take each of Mr. Krasa's other statements and show, not with sweeping generalities, but with facts, their obvious absurdity, and, at times, their complete departure from truth. The famed kitchen debate between Vice-President Nixon and Mr. Khrushchev is certainly open to many interpretations. But the fact of the matter is that Mr. Khrushchev was expounding another variation of his oft-repeated theme, "I say that your grandchildren will live under Communism," and that VicePresident Nixon was also expounding the hope and genuine desire of multitudes around the world by telling Mr. Khrushchev that his grandchildren will live under freedom and democracy. This is the huge backdrop to the main issue-foreign affairs, whether or not the world will live under Communism or Democracy. Mr. Krasa has stated that in Japan "the friendly Kishi government fell." Mr. Krasa has a remarkable consistency for being absolutely wrong. The FACTS are as follows: Nobusuke Kishi resigned as head of the ruling Liberal Democrats and as Prime Minister of Japan. The Liberal Democratic Party of Japan DID NOT FALL and Mr. Kra$a's statement that it did is an insult to the intelligence of those who simply read the local newspapers. To set the record straight, Prime Minister Kishi, a pro-western Japanese and a man absolutely oppos.e d to Communism, was succeeded by Trade Minister Hayata Ikeda. Ikeda, like Kishi, is definitely prer, western and, likewise, realizes the menace of international Communism. In fact, Ikeda's position as Prime Minister and the continuation of the Liberal Democrats as the ruling party of Japan insures continuous close relations with the United States. (Newsweek, July 25, 1960, p. 49) Mr. Krasa stated: "In South America, he (Nixon) provoked hatred both to himself and the country he represented." If Mr. Krasa had not been so obviously disinterested in the facts, he could have found that the riots in South America were Communist inspired and directed. To show the general approval with which Mr. Nixon's actions were met, when the Nixon plane put down at Washington's National Airport, fifteen thousand people were jammed shoulder to shoulder on the apron; among them was the Senate leadership-Lyndon Johnson for the Democrats and Senator William F. Knowland for the RepublicansF.B.I. Director J. Edgar Hoover, Senator Hubert Horatio Humphrey, A.E.C. Chairman Lewis Strauss, students bearing handlettered signs in English and ungrammatical Spanish, but all pro-Nixon, and, as a spec_ial gesture, the President. Along the motorcade's route, another eighty-five thousand people lined the streets-the biggest crowd to turn out in Washington's history. Shortly thereafter, the Democratic controlled House of Representatives commended Nixon unanimously for "his courageous and dignified conduct." Mr. Krasa has stated that Christian Herter had no experience in foreign policy before being appointed to the State Department. As early as 1947, Mr. Herter was made chairman of a select committee, known as the Herter Committee, on foreign aid and relations. This committee made an on-the-spot study of the requirements and resources of countries receiving aid under the Marshall Plan. Mr. Nixon was also a member of this committee which visited each of the countries in question. (Congressional Quarterly 8-12-60, p. 1397). Mr. Nixon has visited a total of sixty-two countries since becoming Vice-President. In 1953 he visited twenty-one countries; in 1955, ten; 1956, eleven; 1957, nine; 1958, nine; 1959, two. His missions to foreign countries have given him a unique opportunity to study at first hand the problem of U.S. Foreign relations, to get acquainted with the heads of foreign states, to implement the policies of the administration abroad and to formulate his own opinions on how they can best be dealt with in the future. His activities on the National Security Council have given him an intimate knowledge of the highly classified measures that are required for the national security, and of the reasons for these decisions. Therefore, we submit that, on the basis of these extensive and numerous travels, on the basis of his exposure to policy formation and decisions on both national and international levels, Mr. Nixon's experience is anything but nil, as Mr. Krasa has indicated. For the sake of clarification and as a basis for comparison, perhaps Mr. Krasa would be gracious enough to inform us as to just what Mr. Kennedy's proved abilities are. (And may we ask that this reply be based on fact and not upon hasty generalizations.) (to be continued next week) Debators Prepare Topic The second meeting of the Debate Society was held last Tuesday in the organization's quarters, located in the rear of Barre Hall. New members of the society who attended the meeting, which was highlighted by a brief discussion of the national debate topic by the team advisor, Dr. Arthur Kruger, were Evelyn Frantz, Jim Garrahan, and Tom Halsted. Frank Riofski, president of the Debate Society, announced that the members of both the varsity and novice squads will be meeting regularly and collecting evidence for forthcoming debates. The novice t eam will participate in the Lehigh University debate clinic which will be held on October 29. Plans were made for the varsity team to attend the St. Joseph's and N.Y.U. "Hall of Fame" tournaments. In addition to the n ew members, Frank Riofski, Jerome Krasa, Bob Bombay, David Jaikes, and Frances Olack also attended the meeting. �Friday, October 7, 1960 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 3 Colonels Host Cadets In Home Opener \ Fumbles, Weak Offense Hurl as Gridders Lose lo Moraviani 14- 2 - Bowling League Opens; Directors Reshuffle Unbalanced Rosters Last Sunday evening the Co-Ed Bowling League opened its rn60-61 season with a full complement of eight teams. Immediately several difficulties -arose which prompted the co-directors to set up new teams. There was a large turnout of newcomers and at the same time a number of people who had signed up for the league failed to appear at the first competition. Because so many new members were in attendance, the teams were hastily prepared and slightly unbalanced. The directors have announced that the league, with rev-amped teams, will start officially this Sunday. Because the team rosters have been changed, team scores and wins are not listed. High scores of the night were turned in by Bill Watkins with 563, Sam Book who rolled a 552, and Jerry Chisarick with 528. There are still several openings on a few teams and anyone interested in joining the league may do so by contacting Jerry Chisarick, Bob Hewitt, or Emil Petrasek. PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS Chuck Robbins Ready to Serve You With a Complete Line of Sweaters, Jackets, Emblems, Sporting Goods 28 North Main Street Tomorrow afternoon the Wilkes football team will face Pennsylvania Military College in the first of a two-game home stand. The Colonels will be out for their first victory against two defeats after having been defeated by the Greyhounds of Moravian College at Bethlehem, 14-2. Soccer coach Jim Ferris and captain Lou Zwiebel discuss strategy before tomorrow's game with Lafayette at 2 p,. m. in ,K irby Park. Rooters Host Lafayette; Ferrismen at Home After Dropping Three Tomorrow afternoon the Colonel hooters will host Lafayette College in a match in Kirby Park scheduled to begin at 2 -p .m. The Leopards have an experienced squad and are currently having one of their best seasons. Last year's meeting between the two teams saw Wilkes edged out, 3-2, in a closely fought contest. The Colonels will be strengthened by the return of outside left Clyde Roberts and right fullback Chuck Weiss, both of whom have been out with injuries. The Colonel hooters opened the season on a low note as they were defeated by the fledgling Susquehanna University t eam, 4-3, at Selinsgrove on September 28. The Ferrismen took a quick lead and held the edge, 3-0, at halftime but were held scoreless in the remainder of the match as the Crusaders scored four times to take the win. Team captain Lou Z w i e be 1 started the scoring midway in the first period by taking a pass from George Tensa and "chinning" the ball into the net. The combination of Tensa and Zwiebel scored again early in the second quarter when Tensa took a -p ass from Zwiebel and banged home the second score of the i.ame. The Colonels' last tally was scored late in the second quarter ' when Zwiebel stole a Crusader I pass and scored his second goal of i the game to give Wilkes a 3-0 lead. In the second half the Crusaders erupted with the "educated feet" of Fuller, Schneider, and Burns, who collected four goals for Susquehanna while their defense held the Colonels scoreless. Those offensive threats that the hooters were able to mount against the Crusaders were thwarted by offside penalties. Rider 14. Wilkes 0 Wilkes soccer suff ered the most severe defeat of its • history last Saturday as the team was overwhelmed by a strong Rider College team by a score of 14-0. The Roughriders were held scoreless by the Colonel defense throughout the first quarter but in the second frame their offensive line broke through and scored seven goals before the halftime whistle.

They have experience and depth, particularly in the quarterback slot with McElroy, Allen Brewster, and Al Filoreto. All other positions are filled with experienced men and Coach George Hansell has an adequate bench to back up the first line. Last Saturday the 'Hounds of Moravian came from behind in the second half of the last quarter to defeat the Colonel gridders in a game that featured fine defensive play but a weak offense on the part of Wilkes. The absence of offensive fullback Marv Antinnes was sorely felt as the gridders netted only 36 yards on the ground. It is not yet known when Antinnes will be able to return to the team. Statistically, Moravian overwhelmed the Colonels but for three periods the score read 2-0 with Wilkes out front. The lone tally came when Bernie Kosch tackled 'Hound quarterback John Williams in the end ,z one as he was trying to run the ball out after having fumbled an attempted punt. Moravian came on strong in the final period to score two touchdowns, the first one came on the first play of the quarter as Jim Frank went through the line from the Wilkes one to score. The final score of the game came with just four minutes remaining . Williams handed off to Jim Kelymen on the Moravian 48 and as he appeared to be hauled down by Colonel tacklers, broke through and went 52 yards for the touchdown. Both extra points were kicked by Edraney. The real picture of the game can be seen in the fumble figures, the Colonels fumbled the ball eight times, recovering it only once. Severa! times these fumbles came after substantial gains which could have led to first downs. Statistics of the Game w First downs 4 Passes 3-7 Yardage, passing 28 Yardage, rushing 36 Total offense 64 Passes, had intercepted 1 Punts 5-29 Fumbles lost 7-8 Penalties, yards 40 M 16 2-10 15 200 215 2 2-36 1-2 70 Krisulevicz Earns 'Beacon' Award; Stymies Moravian's Aerial Attack In the second half the hooters could not mount any offensivethreat, their efforts being concens trated in staving off the Rider offense, which scored seven more times in the second half. Leading the Rider attack was their cocaptain center forward, Ed Parrish, who was a member of the 1959, AllAmerica squad and who netted seven goals to lead in that department. Rider College, which does not have a football team, concentrates its fall sports activity on soccer and last year was ranked fourth in the nation. After last Saturday's crushing defeat of Wilkes, it appears that the men of Rider are well on their way as top contenders for national ranking again this year. Stevens Tech 4, Wilkes 0 In its home opener on Wednesday in Kirby Park, the soccer team suffered its third consecutive defeat since the start of the season as it was shut out by a strong squad from Stevens Tech by a score of 4-0. The Engineers scored twice in each of the first two periods but in the second half, the Colonel defense tightened up and prevented further scoring . The .game, which was witnessed by a small group of students, featured fine defensive play by Chuck Weiss, Frank Lepore, and Walt Prusakowski while Lou Zwiebel, Clyde Roberts, and Rudy Schoenfeld sparked the offense. . . .

Any students interested in 3-4128 these positions have been asked to contact Mr. Reese either today or Monday. GRAHAM'S 96 South VA hy Jim Fitser Stepping into the spotlight as the Beacon "Athlete" this week is Tom Krisulevicz, a junior majoring in secondary education and social studies. His strong defensive play against Moravian broke up several pass plays and prevented the 'Hounds from mounting a strong aerial attack. Offensively, he stepped into the vacancy at fullback created by Marv Antinnes' injury and carried the ball for 36 of the Colonels' 53 yards gained by rushing, leading the team in that department. His consistently fine defensive and offensive play prevented the Greyhounds from rolling up the 35-7 score that had been predicted by the sports editors of the Comenian, the Moravian College newspaper. A native of Larksville and a standout performer on the Larksville High School football team, h e had no difficulty in adjusting to collegiate competition and easily earned his letters in his freshman and sophomore years at Wilkes. �4 New Instructors Named In Physical Education, English Departments Majorettes Featured At Homecoming Two of this year's new faculty appointments are Anne V. Kish in the English Department and Doris Berdy in the Department of Physical Education. Mrs. Kish, a member of the 1953 graduating class at Wilkes, is presently working toward her master's degree.
