The premiere production, which will be presented in the Irem T ernple Monday evening, October 10, will be the exciting Ballet Espanol Ximenez-Vargas of Madrid. New and imaginative ideas are brought to the dance theatre by the proudest of Madrid's dance companies; featuring two of the leading male dancers in the world today Roberto Ximenez and Manolo Vargas. . These co-stars are supported by a company .of twelve dancers, singers, and musicians headed by the beautiful Maria Alba, who joined the company this year. The second " Theatre 3" presentation on Tuesday, December 13 will headline the superb pantomime artist Marcel Marceau and his Compagnie de Mime. Perhaps the most difficult and the least practiced of anv of the spectacular arts, pantomime is the very essence of the theatre. Mr. Marceau has 'Written concerning it: "Everything can be expressed through the art of mime, which shuns the deceitful words that raise barriers against comprehension between men." The final theatrical offering on Friday; March 10th will be the most lovable of all Italian operas, by Patsy Rossi The Inter-Dormitory Council is sponsoring the "Student Union Swing," which will be held this Friday evening from 9 p.m. to 12 p.m. in the gymnasium.

The plot of "The Matchmaker" revolves around an old, rich merchant who finally decides to marry. He subsequently employs a female matchmaker who becomes involved with employees of the merchant, the headwaiter of an expensive r estaurant, and an assortment of other people. The encounter with the headwaiter moves this swift farce headlong into a hilarious climax of cdmplications. "The Matchmaker" employs 16 thespians, with some roles as yet not cast. There are nine male roles and seven female parts. Anyone interested in trying out for a part should contact Mr. Alfred Groh.

September 30, WILKES COLLEGE. BEACON 2 EDITORIALS- Let's All Pitch In With the distribution of this issue, the Beacon is proud to "kick off" the 1960 United Fund campaign on campus. The part we will play in this campaign will be minute tompared to the roles which Al Kishel, the freshman class, and others have played in the organization of this year's drive. Unfortunately, some members of the student body will show a lack of mature thinking when they are asked .to make a contribution to this worthwhile organization. Many individuals will give a multitude cif reasons why it is impossible or unnecessary to contribute. These sam.e reasons are heard every yeax:. What these people fail to realize, however, is that they themselves will benefit. either directly or. indirectly, from one or more of the 56 agencies supported by the United Fund. Actually, there should be no need for putting the campaign on such a competitive basis as the plan outlined in the story on the previous page. We, as adults and citizens of a country upon which so many blessings have been bestowed should be grateful for the chance to help ourselves, rather than accept aid from others. One of the "Marks of An Educated Man", listed on the first page of the college catalog states: "He is conscious of his responsibility as a citizen. and participates constructively in the social, economic, and political life of the community." Certainly, no better test of a "citizen's responsibility" could present itself than the challenge to each Wilkes student to do his part in seeing that the goal set before us is attained.

Wilkes, bolstered by eleven returning lettermen, of which only three are seniors, lost to Lebanon Valley, 14-8, in the season opener. The Colonels' spirits have been high, with only a few minor injuries up until Tuesday afternoon when Marv Antinnes was injured during an intra-squad scrimmage. Dr. Griffin, team physician, who was fortunately present to give first aid to Antinnes, stated that he had sustained a "clavicular separation" in his left shoulder. He was taken to Nesbitt Memorial Hospital for x-rays to determine whether or not any bones had been chipped. How soon he returns to the team depends on the extent of damage to the ligaments. RETURNING LETTERMEN-Front row: Frank Spudis, Al Dobrowalski, Marv Antinnes, Jerry Mohn, Tom Krisulevicz, Paul Aquilino. Back row: Rick Rees, Don Eller, Jim Brunza, and Ed Gavel.

He was named outstanding lineman of the game and also received honorable mention on the All-East team of the East ern Collegiate Athletic Conference. A 19'57 graduate of Plymouth High School where he lettered in football, Al started hi s collegiate football career in his sop homore years as center and this year was shifted from center to offensive end and defensive halfback. Majoring in Secondary Education, he is also a member of the Lettermen's Club and the Education Club. Coach Francis Pinkowski, in switching to an "I" from the straight " T" formation from which the Colonels operated last year, has switched FrankQ Spudis from end to quarterback to plug the gap left by the graduation of Ray Yanchus. In other changes made, Al Dobrowalski has been shifted to end and Bob H erman has taken over at center with Don Eller moving from the halfback position to the line as guard. Paul Aquilino will continue to call the signals as quarterback along with Spudis and Jim Brunza has been shifted from guard to halfback. Tom Krisulevicz continues as halfback, Marv Antinnes a s fullback, Ed Gavel as tackle, J erry Mohn as guard, and Rick Rees as an end. The game tomorrow shapes up to be another tough one for the Colonels as Moravian sports a strong team which has weak spots only in pass defense and offense. Top-heavy with fifteen freshmen, the 'Hounds are building for the future and are admittedly looking to 19'64 as th e year when they hope to have a powerful team. Last S a t u r d a y the Colonels opened their 1960 season by dropping a 14-8 decision to Lebanon Valley College at Annville. The lone Wilkes score came halfway through the final quarter when Ray Marchakaitus ran forty yards with a ball which had been deflected from the arms of Lebanon Valley quarterback Wesley MacMillan by Wilkes lineman Jerry Mohn. The two t eams engaged in a scoreless first quarter b e f o r e Brooks Fletcher recovered a fumble for the Dutchmen early in the second. The Lebanon Valley t eam made the game's first deep penetration mid-way in the second period after taking a Colonel punt on their own thirty-eight yard line. Moving behind a series of three first downs, the home team was on th e Wilkes two with about only by George Tensa Tomorrow the soccer team will travel to Trenton, N.J. to meet a strong Rider College squad. Rider was one of the top offensive teams in the nation last season and featured a high-scoring line which carried them to national r ecognition last year. The last meeting between the Colonels and the Roughriders was in 1958 when the Wilkes hooters blanked the visitors, 4-0. In series play, the two teams are tied at three victories each. The Colonels s uffered a severe blow last Saturday when Clyde Rob erts, veteran lineman at outside left, was injured during the alumni-varsity game in Artillery Parle He will be lost to the team for an indefinit e period of time. The loss of Clyde's "big foot" will be felt as Coach Ferris was counting quite highly on him to help offset the lack of experience on the t eam. After a scoreless first half which featured topnotch defensive play by both backfields, the Alumni erupted for three goals in the third quarter to down the Varsity, 3-1. After four minutes of play in th e second half, Tim Jenkins, Alumni outside right, took a pass from inside left John Reese and dented the net from thirty-five feet out to put the Alumni ahead, 1-0. Moments later, Younsu Koo intercepted a Varsity pass and set up a "head" shot for Tom Ruggiero to collect the second Alumni goal. Clyde Roberts put the Varsity in the scoring column midway in the third frame when he took a pass from inside left George Tensa and booted it past Alumni goalie Bob Payne and into the net. Moments later, the Alumni added an insurance point as Carl "Hummer" Havria, outside left, blasted the ball out of the reach of goalie John . . .

We on the Beacon have our share of such people and we can't close our pages for the year without giving them their long overdue recognition. · First and foremost, we are grateful to Bill Zdancewicz of the College Public Relations Office. Bill has been a member of the staff both before and after his graduation from the College. His office has been a gold-mine of information and supplies, but more than that, his cheerful willingness to assist us in every way and his unquestioning "Okay" ,t o every request we've made are in no small way responsible for whatever success the Beacon has enjoyed this year. To Bill go our hearty thanks and good wishes as he leaves the Colege scene to make new friends in industry. To our advisor, Mr. Francis J. Salley, we also give a tip of the editorial hat. Mr. Salley has been patient and long-suffering and has given us encouragement, free rein, and several good "tips," in addition to serving in his official capacity. We Jmow we've made him sweat a few times, but he has always supported us fully in spite of our forays off the straight and narrow path. We have made mention of our mechanical department several times in the past as being the "unofficial school of journalism" at Wilkes. Now that we have finished the year, we can only add a hearty "amen" to our previous praises of Schmidt's Printery. They have been more than good to the Beacon over the past year and have never hesitated to help us solve a technical problem or advise us on our plans for future editions. With their recent acquisition of a brand new imported printing press, the physical appearance of the Beacon has been improved and the efficiency of this modem mechanical marvel has enabled them to keep intact our record of prompt appearances every Friday. To "Pop" Schmidt, proprietor and compositor; to :Eddie Schmidt, linotye operator, our technical advisor and punster par excellence: and to Leo Schmidt, pressman and the last one to handle the Beacon before it is transformed from idea to finished product, we wish to express our sincere thanks for a long and warm friendship which goes far beyond the mere niceties of a business relationship. We have our share of critics, whose comments also go a long way towards making a newspaper. Without defining the limits of the membership of this group of citizens we would have to include just about every one of our acquaintances. We'd like ,t o narrow the field to several faculty members whose words have been most valued. Miss Dworski, in her triple role of teacher, critic, and friend, has been one of these, as has Mr. Disque. Both have served as ex officio consciences by means of subtle admonitions, gentle proddings, and a general observance of our work which served to keep us on our toes. Just about every other member of the faculty and administration has aided us in this respect, but to single out a few of the . most prominent, we'd like to recognize the influence of Dr. Reif, Mr. Miller, Mr. Hoover, and Mr. Elliot, who have always taken an interest in our efforts. Closing out the round of bouquets to the non-student citizenry, we salute the grandest personality of them all, without whom Wilkes College would be a very gloomy place indeed, the genial manager of the.bookstore, Miss Mildred Gittins. Millie has been on the scene Jor 16 years and has seen a lot of students come and go. She has alvyc;1y~ been a cheerful source of information, but we are more ~ to her for something of greater value than material hi!tlp ..,..J, that is her friendship. Letter to the Editor .•. iiiiiiililliiiiiiiliiiii To: The Wilkes College Student Body From: Gordon E. Roberts, Student Government President I would like to extend to you the appreciation of your Student Government and myself for the tre1mendous cooperation rendered to this governing body in the past year. We feel, as we hope you do, that Student Government at Wilkes College has continued to grow. This growth is the result of serious thinking, adequate planning, and genuine cooperation among those who represented you on the Student Government. It is my hope that this thinking, planning, and cooperation will continue. The newly elected officers of the Student Government will need all the assistance that can be extended to them. I am sure that this help will be forthcoming, for every action and decision of the Student Government should be geared to the goal of making the vision of Wilkes College reach its fruition. Tennyson once wrote, "I am a part of all that I have met." Surely, Wilkes College is very much a part of all of us. Sincerely, Gordon E. Roberts --PERSONALS-- The newly-elected officers of Barre Hall for 1960-61 are: president, George Gavales; vice-president, George Watson; treasurer, Mike Samberg; secretary, •Bill Hun; and I.D.C. representatives, Dave Peters and Vince Capo. Senior Ira Himmel has been accepted to George Washington Law School. Bill Cox, senior accounting major, has accepted a job with Herdman and Cranston of New York. Bill will be working as a junior accountant. Frank Edwards plans to teach in the music department of West Pittston High School immediately following graduation. Two chemistry majors, Pat Levandoski and Carol Lowcavage, will be employed by DuPont, Inc., as chemists in Gibbstown, New Jersey. Another senior chemistry major, Bernie Radecld will be working with DuPont at Parlin, New Jersey.

In particular, we are happy to hc;ive had the valued aid of the Student Government. We feel that this year's group has been the best in recent years, showing .a most reasonable and moderate attitude in their conduct of student affairs. Of course, our own staff members have made great contributions to this year's Beacon. Special thanks ·go to Cynthia Hagley, who stepped in ,t o fill a vacancy smoothly and efficiently and to Jay Olexy, next year's editor, who has taken to his tasks like a duck to water. Also of significant import has been the business department under -t he unbelievable efficiency of Dan Lewis and his small, but effective staff. Steve Cooney and Gloria Zaludek have done yeoman service with our exchange service, as well as giving the Beacon files their first updating in twenty years. Professional critics have rated our sports section as the top feature of the Beacon. We are proud of the accomplishments in this field, the sole responsibility of Ray Yanchus, who took time out from a busy schedule to edit that section. Our chief asset in preparation of copy for the press has ibeen the flying fingers of Jean Shofranko, a first-class typist who has also borne a lion's share of the reporting and writing chores. We don't mean to overlook any staff members, but there are many more whose names we. can't list here. Their by-lines have appeared above their stories, however, and that is our way of thanking them for ;their work. A Blanket Apology In the course of our duties we have made more than our share of mistakes, perhaps. This is inevitable, ·b ut in our case inexcusable. It is ou, duty· present the news accurately, objectively, and coni,p~teJy. We know that we have failed to do this in all too mall-y cases.

At times during the past year, there was a large number of persons, both students and faculty members, who knew the identity of the author of this column. No name or by-line was used, not for the purpose of secrecy, but to provide interest and inquisitive- ness on the part of the students. Much of what you have read here was mere rumor; a larger part was fact ; and a small part was prediction. Some of the rumors were true, others turned out to be false; some of the predictions came true, others did not. Facts are still facts: I didn't make the news just reported it as I saw it. True, much of it was personal opinio~: mine. Many of those who disagreed with the opinions printed here took the opportunity to voice their own ideas. This was one of the purposes of this column: to bring into print controversial issues. At times I took sides, but I always took the side that I thought was right. Such is the freedom of opinion. I would especially like to thank Dick Myers, editor of this publication for the help and advice he has given in the past. Without his help this column would still be a dream - or maybe a nightmare. Stev'e Cooney has numerous times provided information that otherwise would never have been known, as had Fred Jacoby, Cynthia Hagley, Jean Shofranko, Bob Washburn, Gordon Roberts, and many, many others. As the Campus Observer, I could not be everywhere; but, through the eyes and ears of others, I could report the happenings on campus. The cartoon that has appeared at the head of this column several timeg was drawn especially for use in this column by Richard Blisick, a resident of Butler Hall. Mr. Arthur Hoover has helped and guided me on numerous occa- r sions as has the faculty advisor for this publication, Mr. Francis J. • Salley. I am happy to say that this column has never been censored edited corrected, and guided, but never censored. This freedom from censo;ship was a privilege, not a right, and not infrequently this privilege was trod upon. Myers, as the editor, knew that even though he was not the author, anything that appeared in this column would be thrown right back in his face. Several times he took the brunt of the attack by persons disagreeing with the opinions voiced here. Again t' Dick, many thanks. . . . Last, but definitely not least, I wish to thank Rose Ann Bellet1eri for the moral and psychological help in writing this column in the past year. To one and all of you who have read and shown an interest in this column, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! •• • • • ACCIDENT VICTIMS Last Tuesday afternoon two young men from Wilkes were riding down Market Street, Kingston, on a blue motor-scooter when they were suddenly strucJk down by an automobile. The impact threw the stude~ts over the automobile. They landed head first on the pavement, knocking them both unconscious. The students were Bob Kundreskas and John Thomas both day students from the West Side. We hope that by the time this is published both of them will have already recovered.

We can offer no excuse for our failures, only reasons, and reasons cannot justify failure. In our defense, however, let us make only this point: we are an organization unique on campus. We make our mistakes, as do other organizations. The big difference is that every Friday we publish our mistakes, in black and white, for everyone to see and criticize.

Some of us will be coming bacik next year to enjoy another semester or two of study, finals; study, finals; and that sort of thing. For others graduation is here, myself included, and it's back to the salt mines. With this issue we close out the Beacon for another semester, and as you know, to accomplish any project, many hands are needed, hands · that work in cooperation with each other, and therefore, a thank you is in order to all the friends who helped us make the deadline every Friday morning, and present to you the sports scene as we saw it. A paper is only as good as its head and I believe we had an exceptional one at the helm this year in Dick Myers. Many a time he pulled me out of trouble spots with page layout, more space, and especially a most boring job of proofreading my atrocious typing. The sports action could only be reported by a number of snoop and scoop hounds such as pounded out their message on their keys throughout the various sports campaigns. Don Hancock, next year's sports editor, was a great aid; George Tensa added life to any story he wrote; John Nork kept us alive on the bowling news; Jay Olexy told us about inside golf; and Tom "Dewey" Evans made the intramural program a big part of the campus. Something we never could have done without was the typing aid . given by Jean Shofranko when circumstances piled up, and that was usually every week. .Steve Cooney took us across the nation and gave us helpful tips from other newspapers with his roundup of the exchange program, and Dan Lewis kept us squared away in the financial department. Our friends in public relations, headed by Bill Zdancewicz and Mrs. Herbert, took excellent care of us, as did the rest of the personnel in Chase Hall. · Russell Picton was always available to give us a life when it was needed. Mr. Reese and Mr. Ralston rendered their services inumerable times with their cooperative gestures on any type of matter. A special note of appreciation is necessary for Art Hoover who wovked hand in hand with us and gave us first call .on all sports literature coming into the college. His was an enduring task of putting up with our constant chatter and shortcomings. No paper is workable without a mechanical George Gacha and Ralph Hendershot department and we had the best, barring none; Pop, Leo, and Eddie Schmidt took us over the ropes and were invaluable throughout the year with their patience and understanding. And finally, deepest appreciation is in order to the sports teams ATHLETE OF THE WEEK and their coaches. They provided. us with the action that could be turned into copy and presented to you, the .reading public. Without them we hadn't any existence. They gave us plenty of thrills, loads of excitement, and lots to be proud of in the way of prestige and good sportsmanship. They were the backbone, not only of our department, but of the entire sports activities at the college, and so to you, the athletic squads of 1959-1960, a most special salute and thank you for Bobby Ontko, slugging third baseman on the baseball team, a tremendous year. earns this week's "Beacon" Award for his play during the past Face Lycoming in Home Games as Season Ends; 3 Seniors in Finale The baseball team closes out the 1960 season tomorrow against Ly. coming College in a doubleheader . that will get underway at 1 p.m. in Artillery· Park.

This season he has been used primarily as a pitcher, but lately is adding power to the lineup at first base. John Mattey is another four-year performer behind the plate.

John C. Metcalfe was engaged in the fascinating game of espionage himself when he posed as a Nazi-American Bund member to expose the storm trooper taotics by Nazi Germany in this country. That the pilot of the U-2 jet was trespassing is openly admit-ted. That the U.S. was caught red~handed in an act of airspace violation and espionage is likewise openly admitted, said Mr. Metcalfe. He further suggested that the U. S. had no other course but to smile and say, "Well, we both play the game, but you guys caught us off-base." He allayed fears that this incident would have adverse effect on the summit talks because, in his opinion, the talks would not have settled much anyhow. We can heartily concur with this opinion. The Soviet leaders have indicated a desire to take over ,t he free world by fair means or foul from the time they first took power in 1917. Lenin, Stalin, Malenkov, Bulganin, Khrushchevwhat's in a name? All have pursued, in one way or another, the same simply stated goals of the Qctober Revolution. The only thing the Reds intend to do is keep pressure on the West. They want neither war nor a lessening of international tensions. The former would ruin them, or at least give them control of a devasttated, wasteland world if they won. The latter, however, serves their purposes well, as it served them at Potsdam and Yalta. During the recent world war, the Allied propaganda machine ground out messages of brotherly love twoards the U.S.S.R. At the same time, Allied leaders shivered in mortal fear of the consequences of that unholy alliance. They knew ,t hat Russia's imperialist designs on what are now its satellite nations would threaten the mutual security of the West and post-war events proved the truth of those fears. We needed Russia to defeat the Nazis and trusted in diplomacy to contain the big.bad Bear. Diplomacy failed. The Reds got what they wanted and have never let up the pressure to gain -t he rest of their desires. \Ve knew that they were out to create a Communist empire by absorbing contiguous nations. The creation of that empire is a continuing process. They won't stop, and by maintaining international tensions, they know that we will only continue to make concessions and thus goes the vicious circle. What's the answer? Nobody seems to know. The fear of a devastating World War ill looms as a specter too menacing to risk force. BUT - in every instance of Western insistence the Reds have backed down, or at least made efforts to create tension in another area of the world. If we intend to get anywhere in this grim game of defensive chess, we'd better change our tactics and per,haps some of the rules of the game. It's time for Western powers to take off the gloves and try a little tough talk. The Berlin blockade failed when the Reds realized that the West would not back down. Berlin is still a sore spot. If our gambits at the summit contained a little offensive spirit - which the Reds are not accustomed to seeing perhaps they would be forced to try some concessions on their own.. Perhaps not. but we do know for certain that a defensive position will only result in more humiliation for the West. Somewhere the West must throw down the gauntlet and proclaim, "they shall not pass." Berlin is a better spot for such a s,t<;md than our own shores. If this be "brinksmanship," then so be it. The time has long passed when the West can take the word of Red diplomats. A strong stand at the summit is the only way we can come home from Paris with any prestige at all. The U-2 incident can be a blessing in disguise if we will only take the initiative and proclaim a firm intention to take positive steps towards providing a defense for W estem nations and selfgove~ent for all who wish it.

Lockerroom Chatter by RAY YANCHUS, Sports Editor IN MEMORIAM Neil Dadurka, ex-Wilkes all-around athlete and past president ~f the Lettermen's Club, died last Thursday at 9:10 p.m. at March Air Force Base Hospital in Riverside, California, of injuries received when his jet plane erased nose down between two farm houses. Much has been written in the past few days about Neil and his heroic act of riding his crippled ship over heavily populated areas when he had a chance to eject himself into space and safety - and people have a sked, " Why?" Why didn't he leave the plane when he had plenty of tim e to do so'? To answer this qu estion one would only have to have met and talked to Neil once and I'm sure they would have realized, a s we who knew him realized, he would have never considered any other outlet. As we witnessed by his actions on the foot ball fie ld and on the wrestling mat, N eil was never one to turn away from a challenge. Most of the time the odds were stacked against Neil as he continually faced bigger and faster men on the line and on the mat. However, hustle and determination, plus an extraordinary will to win, were always added to Neil's side, and when he put porth his efforts on the athletic scene this extra someNeil Dadurka thing sort of evened things up. I was fortunate to have played football with Neil, thus giving me a personal relationship with him, and one thing I remember distinctly was when we played our final game of the season against Moravian. On a certain play Neil flashed downfield as we were going for a long scoring pass. Neil hadn't scored a touchdown that year and this was his final college game. Both he and the other end broke into the clear as I dropped back to throw. The ball didn't go to Neil and his teammate missed the pass. Neil n ever said one word to me as he hustled back to the huddle, shoutin g that we'd get them on the next play. That's the kind of guy he was, I never knew him to say one unikind word to anyone. His popularity was reflected in his being chosen to co-captain the wrestling team that year and in the opening match against East Stroudsburg he went along for the ride as the football season had ended just a few days before. At the last moment, Neil was asked to wrestle in a trial match. As things developed, Neil went into his heavyweight bout with Wilkes losing, 15-14, and quickly responded with a pin victory to win the meet for Wilkes. Neil won nine and lost two that year as he completely r eversed his previous season's record of no wins and four losses. As we sat in the cafeteria one day before the wrestling season started, he commented to me about the insanity of the wrestlers for electing him co-captain after his showing the year before. However, his teammates on the squad realized, I'm sure, as we who 1knew him, that it wasn't records that counted with Neil, it was his heart, and plenty of heart he had. Neil's heart can probably be best shown by his meeting with the president of TDR at the beginning of his senior year. He approached the sorority head in the capacity of president of the Lettermen's Club, and he posed this question to her, "What can the lettermen do to help you girls in any way this year? The lettermen are getting the reputation of being slobs," he continued, "can we help in any project, even serve at teas?" And there was the criteria for the year, serve at teas we did, .and what's more, we enjoyed it. THANKS Thanks Neil, thanks for being you to the end. We'll always remember the contributions you made to the college, to your friends, and to the future generations that will pass on this campus. But most of all, we'll remember the day you gave your greatest contribution to the people you ·c hose to protect, the day you entered the "AIi-American" honor roll for action above and beyond the call of duty. and several Wilkes rallies Netmen Meet Albright, ' season as Dirk Dunlap and Ron Bieknowdropped their first singles sets Close Year at Moravian; ski but came on strong in the second and third to win their matches.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Ira Himm.el Shows Heart Drive, Paces Nelmen lo Third Win The Colonel baseball team will travel for two games this week before returning to oppose a strong Scranton squad. Tomorrow they don the visiting uniforms when they tangle with Albright. Coach Pinkowski will be trying to shake the away jinx which has been hampering the locals in the win column . Senior George Gacha will probably get the starting bid against Joe Wertz, the hard-throwing righthander for Albright. On Tuesday the Ursinus Bears will host the ·Blue a nd Gold squad. The Bears are in third place in the power-laden Southern Division with a 6-3 record. Jim Whenhold, Ed Savastio, and George Armstrong head the Ursinus batmen while Len Drummond is their leading hurler. The Scranton Royals highlight the returning game to Artillery Park as the Colonels attempt to avenge an earlier season 6-5 loss. The Royals are the top team in the Northern Division with a 5-1 log. George Gacha will be the sure starter in the Colonels' avenge try. Ralph H endershot, Walt Folek, Jerry Lawrence, and John Mattey will furnish the power for the Blue and Gold. Bob Meckwood, who- is leading the league in strikeouts and earned run average, will get the Rayols nod for mound duty. On Saturday the Colonels lost a 22-5 contest to Susquehanna University. The Crusaders celebrated their Alumni Day by having a fireworks at the expense of the Colonel hurlers. Nick Alesandro started for the locals and absorbed his first defeat. Gacha, Folek, Lawrence, and again the "Gooch" hurled for the hapless Blue and Gold. The highlight for the Colonels in the romp was the hitting of Paul "Untouchable" Aquilino. The lefthander finally broke his hit famine by banging out three bingles. Dick Harvey also had three hits, including a double. Bob Ontko and 'B ill Schutter chipped in with triples. Ira Himmel captain and coach of the Wilkes tennis team, has been named as "Athlete of the Week" for his outstanding play at Susquehanna University. Wilkes emerged with a 6-3 victory. Last Saturday we saw Himmel fight his heart out to overcome a player w ho had defeated him previously this year. Jack Wurster, Susquehanna singles netman, had defeated him fo a. hard fought contest by 6-8, 6-2, and 4-6. Howe\·er, on Saturday Ira was determined to ·come out the victor. The match began with Wurster taking a quick lead over Ira by 4-1. Ira then foug ht from behind to tie the score at 5-5. Wurster then took the next game plus the first three points of the following game. The score then stood at 5-6 in games and 0-40 in favor of Wurster. Ira then realizing his disadvantage clamped down on his opponent and took the next five points to tie the set at six games apiece. Having come back fro m this edficit of set point, there was no stopping Ira. H e put the pressure on and won the next two games, giving him the set, 8-G. Not being satisfied with this score, he finished off his opponent in a fashionable manner of 6-0. Ira has also defeated singles players from Lycomine; and Rutgers. It was three years ago that Ira started the game of tennis on an intercollegiate level at Wilkes. Since then he has worked hard with the team both in playing and coaching. Ira is a senior with a major in Commerce and Finance. He resides at Butler Hall and comes from Passaic, N.J. Ira intends to continue his education by attending George Washington Law School next fall. One of his goals is to see the tennis Ira Himmel team have their own courts and also possess a winning record. Both of these goals are finally becoming a reality. GOLF NEWS The golf team, whose record now stands at three wins and four losses, will host Lycoming this afternoon at two o'clock on the links at the Irem Temple Country Club. The Colonels will be out for their second win over Lycoming, having defeated them earlier in the season at Williamsport. Tomorrow the team travels to Harpur College, New York, for the Tarpur Tourney.

They pulled the upset of the year by downing the previously unbeaten Rowdies by a 9 to 5 score. This stinging defeat threw the league into a three-way tie between Ray's Recruits, the Rowdies, and the Blivets. The game was close all the way with the lead changing hands three different times. In the sixth inning Tom "Guffy" Pugh blasted a grand-slam home run to ice the game for the Blivets. The former Plmouth ace had three-for-four with six RB'l's to lead his club to victory. Gary "the gazelle" Vandenburg astounded the crowd with a circus catch in right-centerfield in the last inning to choke off a final threat .b y the Rowdies. The way it looks now the underdog Blivets are the dark-horse team. Look for them to surprise the haughty defending champs, the Recruits, and the slugging Rowdies in the playoff games.

Three Research Gran~ Received by College; Two for Undergrads Soph Car Wash �2 Friday, May 6, 1960 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIALS XXIXlliiiXIIXXXIIIIIIXIX Ex-Athlete Injured It was with shock that we learned of the jet plane accident to Lt. Neil Dadurka, Wilkes '57, in California on Wednesday. The Beacon received confirmation yesterday of the critical nature of Lt. Dadurka's injuries. He was injured in a crash near Los Angeles on a routine flight from the U. S. Marine air base at El Toro. One leg was amputated and he is still listed in serious condition. Mary Homan, Wilkes senior, is in California now to be near her fiance. The couple had planned a June wedding. Sports fans at Wilkes will remember Dadurka as one of the outstanding Colonel football players and the heavyweight wrestler on the first Middle Atlantic championship team for John Reese. He was president of his senior class and was an honored member of the list of Beacon "Athletes of the Week." We join his friends on the campus, his family, and his fellow pilots in wishing him a speedy recovery. As a Wilkes athlete, he was accustomed to come-from-behind battles and his efforts frequently saved the day for the Colonels. We are sure that his playing-field courage will be a vital factor in this, the greatest battle of his life. A Job Well Done We are awaiting the final financial report from the junior class Armstrong jazz concert, but all indications are that the project was a resounding success at the box office. That the affair was otherwise a success goes without saying. We have heard glowing reports from people we never expected to see at a jazz concert in addition to the expected praise from longtime Satchmo fans. When the juniors' president, Gil Davis, first asked our support for this project in the Beacon offices late last year, we lauded his ambition and offered the opinion that he couldn't possibly have picked a better drawing-card to break the "big-name barrier" at Wilkes. We felt certain that he and his class could do the job, but we expressed grave doubts that a profit would be realized in excess of $150-200. It is apparent that when the final figures are known we will have to "eat crow," for it looks like our cautious estimate will be nearly doubled. This is of no consequences to anyone but the juniors, however. The important thing is that a long-argued project has been attempted at last. We feel that the day of big name bands for formal dance affairs is far in the future, but the class of '61 has proved that big-name entertainment is not only possible, but profitable. WHAT . . . WHERE . . . WHEN ... Letters To The Editor: lilllllililllllllilllill Dear Sir: In order to clear up any misconceptions that might exist in the minds of Wilkes College students, we wish to record our common agreement on certain matters of principle and procedure. Although there has appeared to be serious differences of opinion among us, we find ourselves to be in basic harmony in regard to the essential problems and challenges now faced by the Student Government. In fact, we solicit the interest and cooperation of all members of the student body in attempting to correct any weaknesses which may now hamper the further effectiveness of student self-government at Wilkes College. All of us belive sincerely in the Student Government and the Court of Appeals, and we feel that both agencies have served the student body well. We also support both the action of the Court and of the Government in the recent I.C.G. case. We are convinced that a serious violation of the law did take place in regard to the chaperon requirement, and we are disturbed that unforeseen difficulties made it impossible for the ,Student Government to exercise its proper and desired function of protecting the interests of all Wilkes College students. We feel that this inability to exercise its constituted authority can not and should not be interpreted as any r eflection on the integrity or ability of present Government members. If any ambiguities or loopholes exist in the law, every member of the WHkes College community bears some responsibility and everyone should be desirous of correcting this deficiency as quickly as possible. The students of Wilkes College can have as good or as bad selfgovernment as they wish or deserve. It is, after all, their government, and it can only function with their continued interest and support. The careful election of members of the Government is, of course important, but of much greater significance is the good citizenship and responsibility of the various leaders and organizations on campus. Their actions and attitudes can either make student government effective and productive, or they can destroy it. Sincerely yours, George F. Elliot Gordon E. Roberts Robert D.

The magazine is distributed free to students and faculty members. Richard Kniffen, chairman of the distribution ·c ommittee, announced the following pick-up spots: Parrish Hall, Pickering, Conyngham, Stark, and the Library. These are the silver wings of a U. S. Air Force Navigator. As a flying officer on the Aerospace team, he has chosen a career of leadership, a career that has meaning, rewards and executive opportunity. The Aviation Cadet Program is the gateway to this career. To qualify for this rigorous and professional training, a high school diploma is required; however, two or more years of college are highly desirable. Upon completion of the program the Air Force encourages the new officer to earn his degree so he can better handle the responsibilities of his position. This includes full pay and allowances while taking off-duty courses under the Bootstrap education program. The Air Force will pay a substantial part of all tuition costs. After having attained enough credits so that he can complete course work and residence requirements for a college degree in 6 months or less, he is eligible to apply for temporary duty at the school of his choice.

He used his brass to penetrate the "Iron Curtain," ma'king the usual big hit with the Moscow crowds on his most recent European tour. The 60-year old giant of the musical world has been a part of the jaz·z scene since his teen years, when he played in gin-mills for a dollar a night. He now commands the top dollar wherever he goes and has played before standing-roomonly crowds since 1925. When he toured the country in the thirties, he picked up his fantastic following as he barnstormed his way to fame with his improvisations of long-established hit music. He himself waxed many of Tin Pan Alley's top money-ma,king records, including: "Shine," "Chinatown," "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," and, of course, his best known, "Ain't Misbehavin'."

Refreshments Soft drinks may be purchased during intermission. Refreshment stations will be set up outside of the four side exits of the gym, in the kitchen, office, and lobby. The refreshment concession is being handled by Ashley Hall. Parking All students are .requested to cooperate with the Wilkes-Barre Police Department who will be on hand to handle parking and traffic. Because of the lack of parking facilities, the junior class requests students to leave as much spa,ce as possible for distant travelers. Publicity All media possible have ibeen used to publicize this concert: radio, television, bumper tags, and 400 posters h a v e been distributed throughout the Valley. This has been done by co-chairmen Jim Neddoff and Gale Hughes. Information about the concert, posters, and tickets have been sent to colleges in Eastern 1Pennsylvania through the efforts of Ann Curley, chairman (continued on page 8) �2 Friday, April 29, 1960 WILKF.S COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIALS Prejudice, Discrimination Hit Home We are pleased to welcome as guests this weekend students from Hampton Institute, who are here in the exchange program between the two colleges. With the "Free for All" tonight and the Jaz~ concert tomorrow night, they couldn't hav, picked a better tune to come for a week end of excitement and entertainment. Perhaps nothing _which takes place this week end can top what happened to Wilkes students when they visited Hampton, however. A routine exchange visit was turned into a hectic situation which pointed up the South's determination to continue keeping Negroes held to second-class citizenship. The situation was odd and happened as follows: A Wilkes student was driving a car belonging to one of the Hampton men. A policeman, seeing the integrated carload, stopped the vehicle and asked for the usual show of cards. The Wilkes driver produced his driver's license, but the owner's card was not available. The Hampton student owning the car had just recently purchased it and had not yet received his permanent record. He produced the legal binders showing legitimate ownership, but the policeman was not entirely convinced that all was in order. The Wilkes man was then taken to headquarters, fingerprinted, and booked for driving an illegally licensed car ... which was not in fact illegally licensed, as later evidence proved. We must emphasize here that the Hampton officials were prompt to act, sending lawyers, school officials, and bail bond money to get the Wilkes man released. We learned Tuesday evening that Dean Hawkins of Hampton informed Dean Ralston that the case was thrown out of court Monday as ridiculous. We further wish to make it clear that there were no violations involved when the arrest was made. The only reason that the policeman stopped the group was that the occupants of the car were of mixed color. The fact that he had found an apparent legal violation was only incidental. The students and citizens of the locality were outraged and were quick to offer help. The officials and students of Hampton were embarrassed by the action and of course were in no way responsible for the unhappy circumstances. Perhaps the reasons for the arrest may be that some Hampton students were at the time picketing various businesses in Richmond and Newport News in connection with the "sit-in" strikes which have recently been formed to combat the discrimination in the South. Whatever the reasons, we can only deplore the whole mess from the present "race" problems right back to the first day man put another man in slave chains. Finding the solution to the problem is no easy task, but before we go off to other continents, officially and officiously criticizing racial subjugation, we might better heed some good advice: "Physician, heal thyself." Misericordia Hosts Press Members of the Beacon staff recently attended the Second Annual Intercollegiate Press Conference held at College Misericordia. All those who attended had the opportunity of hearing professional journalists speak on various aspects of the newspaper business. They were encouraged and discouraged alternately as the afternoon progressed through the words of these experienced men and women. , During the discussion of these periods however some of the more common problems of running a college newspaper were brought out and various solutions that have been discovered on the college level were analyzed for their appropriateness at the present time. Beacon staff members were glad of having the opportunity to compare problems and solutions with students from Marywood, King's, and Misericordia. The only disappointment of the day was the lack of representatives from more colleges and universities. Since the conference was so well planned and organized, the loss was to those who were not in attendance. The afternoon proved revealing for us and we hope the other college students felt same. To the women of College Misericordia who surmounted many difficulties and pressures surrounding such an affair, we wish to express our appreciation, and hope that we were as gracious as guests as they were as hostesses.

In a sense it seems to me that our long de~ liberations and sincere interest in trying to arrive at a just solution resulted in naught. Either we were derelict in not being able to put across to the members of Student Government clearly and effectively our several reasons for deciding in favor of ICG, or else Bob chose only to emphasize the one part of our -~ easoning that seemed to justify his contemplated actions. Our decision, Mr. Editor, was a lengthy one. To our minds far more important than the immediate issues in this particular case was the I_>a_ramount _question of a legal pro_v1s1_on ( Pohcy 3, section b) which 1s so dangerously ambiguous so woefully inadequate, and so care~ lessly written that it leaves unlimited and arbitrary power to the particular individuals serving on Student Government at any given point in time. Strangely enough, however, we also saw in this provision a possible loo·p hole by which certain organizations, no less guilty than IOG, could conceivably escape any possibility of punitive action by the Student Government. In summary, Mr. Editor, it seems to us that if Policy 3 is allowed to continue unchanged all subsequent decisions of the Government must at best be subjective interpretations of doubtful legal activity. In the decision of the Court we were trying to say in effect to the members of Student Government "Put justice first! Do not punish an organization, no matter how guilty, as long as there exists any uncertainty as to what Student Government can constitutionally do." We were also making what we considered to be a necessary constructive ;recommendation to Student Government, a recommendation that we feel is of immediate and acute importance to every Wilkes College student and campus organization. In order to provide ~qua! protection before the law, 1t behooves Student Government to initiate steps by which its constitutional '})rovisions will be made to conform to at least the minimal standards of common and statutory law. Otherwise, long after the details of the IOG case have been forgotten this provision may continue to plague the Student Government and to newtralize its effectiveness. Permit me to express one final thought, Mr. Editor. I was amused and slightly nonplussed at some of the actions of individual members of Student >Government following the decision of the Court. They rushed out to consult with a trained lawyer to check on whether our understanding of legal processes was correct. Secondly, they showed, however momentarily, obvious irritation and resentment twoard a student member of the Court. Thirdly, I understand that a proposal was made for a secret ballot at the meeting of the Government on the question of upholding or over-riding the Court's decision. Finally, I read about "spinelessness and lack of intestinal fortitude" because of a position taken by certain members of Student Government on an issue that is at least subject to conflicting interpretations. Let me try to make cel'tain things clear. We, the members of the Court, are not trained lawyers. We can only offer to the students our judgement, our sincerity, and our objeotivity. We are wasting our time and our energies if deci2ions we are supposed to make judiciously can be upset by subsequent actions of Student Government based upon political and personal animosities. We do expect that certain of our decisions will be over-ridden by the Government, but we would hope that such action by Mary Frances Barone Last weekend James Walters and Gordon Roberts represented Wilkes in Washington, D.C.; they were attending the National Student Conference on the Sit-In Movements. Approximately 600 delegates from student governments of colleges and universities throughout the United States attended. •~ Strunk Appointed to Administrative Staff; Heads New Department In an effort to coordinate the functions of the development office, alumni office, and public relations, the College has named J. Horace Strunk, a former newspaperman, to fill the newly created post of Director of Development and Public Relations. Mr. Strunk will direct the activities of these offices, and will be charged with coordinating their related functions. The present change has occured in part as a result of the acceptance of new positions by the present administrators. Russell R.

SWE-E-E-ET AD-O-LINEI Local ''Society'' Members Sing In Barber Shop Concert Parade by George J. Tensa In the village barbershop the gaslights illwninate four men: the barber and three of his customers. As the barber removes a ho~ towel from the face of his last customer, the man in the chair sits up, smiles and begins to hwn softly. As if this was the cue for which each had been waiting: the barber pauses, strokes his mustache, his eyes twinkle and he hums a sweet tenor; the man holding the Police Gazette stops reading an article on Anna Held and contributes a baritone; and the solitaire player, sitting in front of a shelf of ornately decorated mugs, adds a deep bass. Soon the room is filled with masculine voices singing in close harmony. The gaslights of the "Gay Nineties" are gone but the era's singing style of close, four-part harmony has remained with us throughout the years and has become an accepted part of the American music heritage. Because of the interest in barber shop quartet singing today, the barber-shoppers are organized into a national organization known as ,t he Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America. This month the 26,000 balladists of .S•P E1BSQSA are celebrating their 22nd anniversary. Among these are the 30 carolers of the Wyoming Valley Chapter. The local group meets every Monday evening at the. Kingston House. They extend a "chordial" invitation to all male music lovers to join them. Among the festivities of the local organization will be the Annual Parade of Quartets which will be held at Kingston High School next Saturday. Headlining the Parade will be the Pittsburghers, International Champions; the Check-Mates, Mid-Atlantic Champions; and the WC Students Recognized At I.C.G. Convention by Ralph Price On April 7, 8, and 9 seven members of ICG attended the State ICG Convention in Harrisburg. The Wilkes group was quite active at the convention with many delegates holding important positions during the proceedings. Mike Bianco and Betsy Hoeschele were on the State Executive Committee. Bianco was also a parliamentarian. Rose Neuser held the position of secretary of the major committee, the Commi-ttee of Labor and Industry. Carol Tangorra was timekeeper, and Pat Shovlin was a sergeant-at-arms. In addition to his other positions, Bianco was elected to the office of director of the N or-theast Region of IOG. This region numbers among its members such schools as Lehigh University, Lafayette College, Scranton University, Moravian College, Marywood College, and Mansfield State College. The ICG here is currently in the process of scheduling activities for next year. They hope ,t o include a mock presidential election in their plans for the next term. by Jim Jackiewicz A third foreign film of the semester, "The House of the Angel", (La casa-del'angel), will be presented in Stark Hall by -the Language Department on Wednesday from 3 to 5, and on Thursday from 11 to 1. The movie is in Spanish dialogue with English subtitles. It was produced in Argentina and is the fifth film endeavor of director Leopaldo Torre Wilsson. "La casa de! angel" is based on the novel of the same title by Beatriz Guido, who is one of the most noted Latin American novelists. The movie deals with the adolescence of a 15 year old upperclass Argentinian girl in the 1920's. She is aroused to free herself from her pietistic and stern mother who raised her in a background of strict puritanism when she meets a politically inclined young man who is also a victim of his rigid upbringing. This film which was selected for exhibition at the Cannes International Film Festival and the London Film Festival in 1957, is an excellent example of Wilsson's skill as a director. The London Times states that, "The film's atmosphere of prurience and moral decay is evoked with such authority as to leave no doubt of a rare and uncompromising talent. . . ."

They give many reasons, but most frequently they mention fun and fellowi.hip. The barber-shoppers believe that the world could do with a lot more harmony these days and they think that more harmony might be brought about through group singing. The Honorable Charles M.

Washburn Meeting of Minds students to its open meeting on Tuesday, April 19. The meeting will be held on the third floor of 159 S. Franklin Street from 6-8 p.m. Publicity directors and organizational leaders are cordially invited to attend and air their views on how we on the newspaper can serve the College better. The staff members are requested to be prompt so that several matters of interest to them can be settled quickly and more general matters taken up. The meeting will be of particular importance to all who intend to apply for editorial positions on next year's staff. Congratulations We were pleased to see the honors heaped on junior Marv Antinnes in recognition of his splendid year of accomplishment in athletics. We were further delighted to see the editorial page of the Wilkes-Barre Record devote a half column editorial to his exploits. The article appeared in Wednesday's edition and recounted all his honors, so well known by all here at Wilkes. We wish to extend our own congratulations and a hearty, "well done," to the year's outstanding athlete, sportsman, and student leader. Dear Sir: The last edition of the Beacon referred to the Court of Review decision in the headline and story which followed. I would qualify this misnomer by saying that the Court of Appeals made the decision referred to in this instance. The Court of Review had no say in this case since it is confined to ruling on dormitory violations. The ·C ourt of Appeals wrote the decision for the case involving the Intercollegiate Conference on Government and .the Student Government because it ha.s the power to act upon appeal of any decision of the Student Government. In closing I extend my gratitude to William Raub, who assumed the chair of the Court in my absence; Allyn temporary member, and theJones, remaining members of the Court of Appeals for their endeavor in this initial case.

WHAT ••• WHERE ••• WHEN ••• I --PERSONALS-- WILKES COLLEGE BEACON The editorial "Excessive Decoration" appeared on April 1, and it was very a-p propriate to "April Fools' Day." It certainly was your day Ed.; I hope you enjoyed it as you lurked about our fair city. The Wilkes campus lacks many things in the way of school spirit, so let's not kill the little we have. Several weeks ago, the wrestling and basketball doubl e-headers were fine examples of the spirit that should prevail, but is seldom shown. If the banners on the dorms were an eye-sore to anyone but you, it has not been heard at present. To most of us, the banners gave River 1Street a "campus" look and were a sight for sore eyes. Ron Simms (Ed. Note: Reader Simms has a good point; we · would have been happier had he kept it under his hat.) ***** Dea.r Editor: The editorial in the Beacon April 1, 1960, has created considerable conversation throughout the past week. This, I presume, was one of its purposes and in that resp ect it might be considered a successful editorial. I do, however, disagree with many of the statem ents and opinions presented in the editorial, and I am making these disagreements the subject of this letter. Throughout the editorial, the advertising placed on the front of the dormitories during the previous week was referred to as displays. I would like to point out that the purpose of these advertisements was not to provide displays, but was simply to promote two events sponsored by the dormi.tories that weekend. As advertisements I believe they performed their purpose and were not in the least "overdone." The editorial also stated that college "affairs are already adequately advertised and usually well at- t ended." As• for attendance, I think it wise that the editor check some of the Friday night activities sponsored by the college organizations during the past semester. I think he would find that most of these activities were not "well attended." This, I believe, is due largely to the publicity given to these activities. The advertising placed on the dormitories was a new idea in promotion for the CaJlllpus, and created considerable interest in both of the affairs that were adv ertis ed. Also, I would like to interj ect that both of these affairs were successful, and were very well attended. The editorial also elaborated upon our annual Homecoming displays, and suggested that such adve rtisements during the Spring semester might detract from ,th e in terest given to these displays in the Fall. Being chairman of the Homecoming diplays for the past two years, I feel well qualified to discuss the subject. These advertisem ents were not intended to resemble or compete with the Homecoming displays, and it is my opinion they will not detract from our Homecoming festivities in any way. Last, there was considerable discussion at to the impression such advertisements give the residents of this area. I fully appreciate the editor's interest in maintaining the goodwill of the people of Wyoming Valley, but I hardly think these people expect such a noteworthy institution as Wilkes College to cater to them in every activity the students of the college sponsor. Nearly every John Q. Public has an elementary knowledge of the activities of college students, and I certainly believe ,t hat an activity as harmless and innocent as these advertisements are included in such a knowledge. Sincerely, Allyn Jones (Ed. Note: May we quote "Arnold," Beacon No. 21, March 18, "But is it art?") _ --------------------=-----------• .. There Is An Answer by Michael Bianco and Gordon Roberts Eighty-six million copies of the MRA handbook Ideology and Coexistence in 24 languages have been distributed throughout the world to date. The Honorable Ben F. Jensen, Congressman from Iowa, referred to this handbook while addressing the members of the House of Representatives on March 14. Congressman Jensen stated: "In the years since World War ideological softening up of the free II, Adenauer has stood out as a world.' dauntless fighter for freedom and an architect of the unity of the West. Better than most he understands the nature of the ideological struggle we are in right now. For he and his country are on the very front line of that struggle. He and his family were among a group of 150 picked leaders of Western Germany, who, at the end of the war, came to the Moral ReArmament Assembly at Caux, Switzerland. There began the close friendship of the Chancellor with Dr. Frank Buchman, the initiator of Moral Re-Armam ent, an association which h as grown and deepened over the years, and which has had a profound effect on the history of Western, Europe. It is by a most happy combination of events that at this time a new weapon in this ideological struggle is being ·p ut into our hands. It is this handboO'k, Ideology and Co-Existence, prepared by Moral Re-Armament. It has been published as a. weapon to put America and the free world on the offensive in this war of ideologies. It sets forth in pungent sentences the true nature of communism and presents the one effective universal answer. The strength of the statements in this handbook and the ideology which it represents is proved by the violence of the attacks which Tass, the Soviet News Agency; Pravda, Izvestia, Trod, Life and Literature, and the Moscow, Tashkent, and Peiping radios have launched against it, noting that this handbook 'is putting an end to the To my knowledge this handbook is receiving one of the most ma.ssive simultaneous distributions in the history of the world. A copy _ has gone to every home in the Sandinavian countries, including Greenland and Iceland, to every home in Holland, and in Switzerland where it was given a foreword by General Guisan, the famous commander-in-chief of the Swiss armies in World War II. Last week it went to every one of the 4½ million homes in Canada. At this very moment it is being distributed to every family in Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Australia, and before the end of this month it will reach every home in this nation's capitol. It is fitting that at this time of _ Chancellor Adenauer's stay in this country means such as these are available to strengthen the fundamental beliefs and qualities of the American people and restore to new life and power the precious heritage of our forefathers and the great destiny of our land.'' Eleven of Congressman Jensen's col!eagues from the Democratic and Republican Parties concurred with his feeling when they called Dr. Adenauer and asked to have the Moral Re-Armament play, Hollnung, in Washington this Spring. The 'bi-partisan signatories are: Senator Everett Dirksen, Minority Leader, and the Senators Francis Case, John Sherman Cooper, Hubert Humphrey, Estes Kefauver, Oren Long, Russell Long, Eugene McCarthy, John McClellan, George Smathers, and Alexander Wiley. �WILICES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, April 8, 1960 3 Marv Antinnes Named Top Athlete Colonels Host Upsala, Twinbill Tomorrow; Gacha Wins Opener, 9-4 by Tom Evans The baseball team makes another try at their home opener as they meet the Upsala Vikings at Artillery Park. Game time is 31:30 p.m. Wilkes will be out to avenge last year's 4-2 defeat at the hands of the Vi·kings. The starting assignment for the Blue and Gold will go to veteran pitcher George Gacha. For George the game will be important in that he was the losing pitcher in last year's tight contest. .Saturday the diamond team will take on a strong Western Maryland outfit in a double-header. First game gets underway at 11 :00 a.m. Gene Matthews, one of Coach Pinkowski's returning pitchers, will handle the opener. The Colonels hope to get plenty of long-ball power from centerfielder Ralph Hendershot and thirdsacker Bobby Ontko to back up their pitching. Monday Wilkes will taike on the Scranton Royals at Schautz Field in 1Scranton. The colonels will be out to try and trim a Scranton team ,t hat trounced them twice last year. 1S cranton has their ace pitcher, Bob Meckwood, to lea<l a veteran team. Wilkes will counter with Gene Matthews who is expected to come back with two days rest. Wednesday's Results Veteran pitcher George Gacha threw seven-hit ball at Muhlenberg College as Wilkes won its opening game of the 1960 season, 9-4. The game was played in 30 degree wea,ther. Gacha, who struck out eight and walked two, was backed up by the fine hitting of thirdsacker Bobby Ontko, second baseman Walt Folek, and rightfielder Dick Harvey. Each collected ,t wo hits, with Folek driving in three runs and Ontko two. Wilkes jumped off to a two-run lead in the first inning as both runs came across on an error. Muhlenberg came back with one in the second and the Colonels scored again in the third on Paul Aquilino's single. The Mules tallied again in ,t heir half of the inning, but Wilkes scored two in the fourth on Folek's hit. Folek produced another run in the sixth and Muhlenberg finished off their scoring in the bottom half of the frame. The Colonels iced the game with a three-run outburst in the eighth. Ontko doubled in a pair and Ralph Hendershot sent across the final Wllkea College Reveraible Jacket& See the new Quilted Corduroy Look Both with Wilkes Lettering 2 - LEWIS-DUNCAN - 2 SPORTS CENTERS 11 E.

The experiments are divided into four different labs: 1) Qualitative Analysis Lab - here the freshmen chemistry students will be doing ordinary group qualitative tests; these tests will represent the regular work being done throughout the past semester. They will ·b e making color tests on cations and anions. The various processes will be visually outlined on large diagrams. 2) Quantitative Analysis La:b will include volumetric and gravimetric analyses. Included in these analyses are s om e electrolytic methods, the depositing of metals with the aid of electric cur:rent, and chromatogra,phy, the separation of the different colored elements on paper. One point of interest will be a weight race between three different ty,pes of analytical banlances. 3) Physical Chemistry Lab various ityipes of physical-chemical experiments. Instruments will be displayed which determine the physical properties of chemical substances. There will be a demon- stration of an ammonia fountain and a dust explosion. 4) Organic Chemistry La:b distillation apparatus will be set up and exiplained. Quite a few ball and stick models of organic compounds will be on display. Biology On the third floor will be the biology ,p rojects. Included in these will be dissections in the zoology department; ,projects in embryology will center around a chick embryo; microscopic slides will be shown in histology; !breeding techniques of the fruit flies will be exhibited in genetics; there will .be some projects in ,b acteriology; and some ,projects showing muscle reflexes.

CCUN Delegates Attend Albany Assembly; Represent India A delegation from the C.C.U.N. will r epresent the nation of India in the Mid-Atlantic Model General Assembly to be held at Albany State Teachers College A,p ril 8, 9, and 10. Don Murray will ,preside over all ·plenary sessions of the Assembly. Head of the college delegation is Evelyn Godleski . As the representative of India, Wilkes must defend the point of view that Kashmir is an integral pa1t of the Union of India. India maintains that Pakistan must vindicate the ag,g ression committed in Kashmir before a solution to the dispute can be attained. Since the major portion of the work of the Assembly will be done in committee meetings, India's problem will be brought before the Special Political Committee considering the Kashmir siituation. Representing Wilkes on the various committees will be the following students: Political Committee considering the question of disarmament, George Watson; Special Poli,t ical Committee considering the Kashmi r situation, Al Luster; Economic CO'Illimit,tee considering the problems centering around the U .N. Technical Assistance Program, Vince Capo; Social and Humanitarian Committee considering the problem of world refugees, Owen Frances; Trusteeship CO'Illmi,t tee considering the independence of non-self-governing territories, Gary De Hope; Legal Commrt tee ,c onsidering increasing the membership of the Security Council and strengthening the International Court of Justice, Bianca Moscatta. Alternate delegate to the Assembly, is Marie Realmuto. Mailey Guest Speaker At Ed. Club Meeting by Wayne Thomas Dr. Hugo V. Mailey, chairman of ,t he Political Science Department, will be guest speaker at the meeting of the Education Club on Thursday morning at eleven in Conyngham Annex 101. Dr. Mailey will speak on Politics and Education in Wyoming Valley. This is a topic which has attracted a considerable amount of attention in this region in recent years and is of special interest to prospective teachers. Dr. Mailey will call upon many years of experience in the field of politics as well as in the field of education. He is a graduate of West Chester State Teachers College and Pennsylvania State University. The meeting will be open to the public and anyone iterested is cordially invited to attend. "BEACON" NOTICE Because of the Easter holidays, the BEACON will not publish on April 15th or 22nd. All organizations are reminded to plan any publicity campaigns with this in mind in order to assure that planned affairs get proper coverage in next week's BEACON. I.C.G. Appeal Upheld Unanimously; Tuesday's Meeting of Government Okays Funds for Harrisburg Trip The decision of the Court of Review in the case of the Intercollegiate Council on Government reversed action of Student Government in denying that organization use of money in the Intercollegiate Conference fund. The unanimous decision of the Court admitted ~hat the I.C.G. erred in failing to comply with established policy for the conduct of social affairs, but that Student Government acted out of its sphere in denying I.C.G. funds. Debaters Go to CCNY • • dia After MJSenCOr TOUrney SUCCeSS Ading in harmony with the decision of the Court, Student Governm ent on Tuesday received a delegation from I.C.G. a,t iits regular meeting. The delegation requested, and was granted, money to send eight members to the State convention in Harris.burg. The amount awarded was $80. Other Business In other aotion, the Government discussed the "Cinderella Ball" which will rbe held during Spring Weekend, April 13-15. Cost of the affair is $2.00 iper couple. A bill will be paid for the damages incurred during the Winter Carnival at P.M.I. An announcement was also made that student activities calendars are available at t he Student Govern.ment office, Harding Hall, and with Dean Ralston's secretary. Organizations should check these schedules before ,p lanning any event. At the meeting, activities forms were submi<tted and accepted by the Student Government. The affairs which will ibe scheduled on the activities calendar are: a free dance sponsored ,b y the band on Friday, April 1; the Senior class Friday night sport dance on A,pril 8; Cue 'n' Curtain's "Night of Theater" at Chase 'T hea,ter, April 5, 6, and 7; rthe Lettermen's Clwb initiation, an off-'C ampus affair, on April 2; a Manuscript film, which will be shown immediately before the Senior Class dance; and a TDR punch ,p arty during Spring Weekend.

At the next meeting further arrangements concerning the gold and silver keys presented to Student Government members and officers will be made. At that time all previous aibsences at meetings will ibe discussed, and members will volte upon the inflicting of penalties for failure ,t o attend past meetings. rl by John Nork This weekend, the Wilkes Debating Society ,t ravels to New York to participate in a varsity tournament at OCNY after a rather successful weekend at the Misericordia Novice Tourna,ment. A last-minute emergency making it impossi,b le to obtain a fourth member, forced the debaters to enter a three-'ll'lan team in the event. Despite the obvious handicap, Jerry Krasa, upholding the afffrmative side of the question, "Resolved: Tha,t Congress should be given the power to overrule decisions of the Supreme Court," performed a surprising feat. Filling both positions of a usual two-num rteam, Jerome handed King's College team A, the team which compiled the best record of the tournament, its sole loss. Later in the day, he dropped close decisions to Temiple and Marywood. The negative team, comprised of Brent O'Connell and Frank Riofski, compiled the highest point total of the participating teams. They defeated Penn State Women's team and Lehigh, while dropping a decision to CCNY. The handicaipped debaters re-1 turned satisfied, gaining the second highest overall team •point total. In addition Frank Riofski was honored by being named the fourth lbes,t negative speaoker in the event. ATTENTION JUNE GRADS!

Now that the reasons for this advertising are past, it might be well to consider the question from a viewpoint of taste. Are these outward displays all that we can offer to the citizens of the Valley as evidence of our purpose in attending college? We on campus know why these signs were made and even appreciate the work involved in composing and displaying them, but we would also do well to consider the effect of such display before future repetition. Local people know little of the inner workings of a college. They judge generally by what they see on the surface. When Homecoming time comes around, they look forward to the interesting campus-wide decorations as a welcome break in the monotony of sober building fronts. Homecoming decorations are part and parcel of every college's Fall social calendar, but there is always a danger that too frequent a display, especially one not up to par with elaborate Homecoming displays, can be excessive - even in poor taste. We feel that the recent brown paper artwork and window decorations did serve some purpose, but that they were unnecessary and overdone. Sufficient outlets for publicity are available on campus; disfiguration of buildings is an excess. Besides, the affairs thus advertised were strictly sponsored by the donns themselves. Other affairs on campus do not get such coverage - and definitely should not. Let's see to it that the ivy-covered walls henceforth remain just that. Nature's decorations are far better and more enjoyable to the public eye. Let's not destroy the traditional college symbol for the sake of affairs which are already adequately advertised and usually well attended. Breaks with tradition are laudable in some cases, but not at the expense of creating an eyesore. by Ralph Price The Wilkes Band will present its annual assembly program next Tuesday. Under the direction of Mr. Weed, the band will perform an unusually difficult program. The selections which the band will play would not even be aittempted by many ·bands from schools larger than Wilkes. Among the pieces to be played are Celebration Overture and Suite of American Dances. The latter was composed by Robert Russel Bennett, whose accomplishments include the orchestration of South Pacific, among others. Another fine work on Tuesday's program is Procession of the Nobles by Rimsky-Korsakoff. Also on the list for the concert is Fanfare and Allegro. Clifton Williams, the composer of this work, has won the Oswald Competition A ward for 1956, 1957, and 1958. Mr. Williams went to school with the Wilkes director, Mr. Weed. In the future, the Wilkes Band plans a Town and Gown Series concert on April 1, in the Wilkes gym. This will be a Sunday afternoon concert. Student Govt. Caught Off Guard Mr. James Bohning, member of the College chemistry faculty, will ,p resent a pa:per to the American Chemical Society next month. The •p aper, entiitled Kinetics of the Oxidation of 3-Mercaptoproponic Acid with Potassium Ferricyanide, is the result of two years research at New York University. While at NYU, Mr. Bohning was aided in his research by Karl Weiss, assistant professor of chemistry at NYU, who is co-alllthor of the ,pa,per. The report has also been accepted for publication by the Journal of the American Chemical Society. The national meeting of the Society will be held on A pril 14 in Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Bohning received his B.S. degree from Valparaiso University, Indiana, and his M.S. from NYU, where he also worked part-time as teacher and research assistant. Following his g r a d u a t i o n, he worked for the U. S. Department of ,Oceanography in New York. We were delighted to read the decision of the Court of Review in the Student Government-1.C.G. controversy. A wellwritten document, it succinctly reaches the core of the matter and manages to point up a weakness in the Constitution. The Government, says the Court, was not fully acquainted with its powers and duties in regard to the policies under fire and that a loophole for organizations does exist. In effect, the I.C.G. was able to avoid compliance with established policy and escape with only a slap on the wrist. The Government emerges from this case no weaker than before, but unquestionably wiser. The fault was not Student Government's in failing to penalize effectively; the fault was in the policy governing the situation. It is regrettable that Student Government, probably one of the most reasonable and moderate in the memory of any-student here, had to be put in the position of acting from a position of weakness - of having to punish when no punishment was possible. This only proves one thing, however. Student Government must give searching study to its policies and its powers under the Constitution. We feel that its action against the violator was taken from a point of view narrowed by too frequent compliances. The Government was lulled into a false sense of security by the smooth-running of accurately observed policies and failed to anticipate carefully enough any possible violations. When the violation occurred, Student Government acted too late and from inside its narrowed perspective. This reminds one of the old adage that when things go too smoothly, look for trouble. Invitation to Learning Friday, April I, 1960 Bohning to Read Paper At National Meeting 1 There Is An Answer by Michael Bianco and Gordon Roberts Communist aid to Cuba, Indonesia, and Egy;pt has caused concern in Western government circles. The main reason for this concern stems from the fact that these countries were relatively neutral in world affairs prior to the deals with the Reds. By and large these countries leaned neither to the West nor to the East. After the Communist economic ,pa-cits were signed, significant leaning toward the Communist Party line was evident. Cuba is the most obviously infiltrated government whereas Egypt is the least disturbed on the surface. Economic aid or subversion, as the case may be, is the main ideological strategy of the Communist today. When aid will allow Communist influence to permeate a country, then aid will be used as a strategic inroad in the government. When economic subversion is advantag.e ous the Communist will use it to advance his ideology. Last summer Tom Keeps, ex-British Communist union leader, told the authors about his role as a member of the party in the union. Between the years 1947-52, the Communist dock workers, led by Keeps, staged a series of strikes to cripple the London docks and the British economy. Keeps was awarded the Lenin Medal by the Party for his work, particularly the 1947 strike which cost the British economy considera:ble money. The Red strategy here was to nullify Marshall Plan aid. Fortunately the Communist strategy was broken later when Keeps, who had been a loyal Communist for 25 years, broke with the Party because of his commitment to Moral Re-Armament. A similar plan for South America evolved from the Communist Party of South America. The plot was to control the docks of Brazil through dock unions headed by Red agents. Before the plan gained impetus, leaders of the dockworkers were given ideological clarity by men like Tom Keeps, who had given his life to fighting domination by Communists and capitalism alike and was effective in his meetings with the Brazilian dockers. The Russian government cornered ten per cent of the total trade with a Scandinavian country last year and then demaded a seat on that government's cabinet for a Red agent. The Scandinavian country refused to do this and the Russians cut off all trade. As a r esult, the small country was in financial difficulty. By using trade the Communists tried to infiltrate this government. Great Britain aided the strategy by making trade agreements with the Russians instead of the Scandinavian country. In s,pite of the problem of a fellow NATO member, England signed trade agreements because they received a lower price by a few cents! Communist strategy is to subvert the economy of the Western countries and to gain ideological advances with the neutral countries. Cuba, Indonesia and E gypt have all received aid from Russia during the ,past year; all of these countries have taken steps closer to the ed line. Cuba is collectivizing, Indonesia excluded all anti-Communists from the cabinet and Egypt has allowed a number of Russian "technidans" to enter the country - all this af.ter economic aid from Russia. You do not have to accept our idea that the Communist strategy is to subvert the countries of the West with a.n ideology based on economic principles. Heed he words of Nicolai Lenin: "When the capitalist countries of the West begin trading and accepting aid from the Communist bloc, they will sign their death warrant."

These same two teams will meet in a playoff series on April 10. to decide the championship of the league. The Smashers went into a second place tie with the Blitzikriegs by defeating the last place Fla.tballs, 3-1. In the other contest, the Blitzkriegs shared four points with their opponents, the Kingpins. Dan Lewis 204-594 and Bernie Shupp were the ,big footors in the Gutterdusters sweep of the Pinbusters. The total ·pin fall of the winning Gutterdusters was 222 pins better than that of the Pinbus,ters. Dave Sokira and Emil P etrasek were the leading men of the Pinbusiters with a 199-53 and 170-475, respectively. Marshall Brooks rolled a 180-497 to help his Smashers cop three points from the Flatballs, John Sapiego helped with a 169-495. Tom " Dewey" Evans and John Mattey were top men for the losing Fla,tballs. Evans had a 180-465 while Mattey hit for a 170-458. Adam Gajewski rolled a tremendous 212-556 but his effo1ts proved to no avail as his Kingpins shared two points with the Blitzkriegs. Tom Dyslewski came in a close second with a 195-512.

George Gacha, who led the Colonels in scoring for the season with 389 points, received honorable mention on the All-No1thern team. The final selootion of the squad was made through the ,b alloting of Middle Atlantic Conference college basketball coaches, who overwhelmingly chose "Ducky" Potter of Moravian as outstanding player of the division. Radecki, n am e d outstanding player on the squad during last season's campaign, has also been named ,t o the Eastern College Athletic Conference's All-East small college team for 1960. He scored over 1,000 points in his college career, 340 this season averaging 16.2 per game to place second in team scoring. INTRAMURAL! SOFTBALL NOTICE Athletic Director John Reese has announced that rosters for intramural softball teams should be turned in to him at the gym as soon as possible. Also in regard to intramural softball, he has announced that a student director and umpires are needed. All those interested may apply at the gym. As an added incentive, it should be noted that umpires will be paid a fee of $1.00 per game. SWIMMING STATISTICS A Flexible Charge Account - at - concerning a date for the rescheduling of this contest. No word has been received concerning the next .g ame, a road contest at Muhlenberg. That game is slated for Monday at Allentown, 3 :30 p.m. Moravian posted a league mark of 11-4 to take the Northern Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference last season and were 13-5 on an overall ibasis. Coach Harvey Gillespie starts the season looking for his 14th consecutive winning campaign as head mentor of the Greyhounds. In 21 years a,t Moravian his teams have posted a record of 208 victories, 92 defeats and ithree ties for a .693 percentage, one of the finest in eastern college annals. Coach Gillespie will probably throw his leading pitcher from last year, Bill Hershey, against the Colonels. Hershey won 6 and lost 2 and lbatted .373 while playing Ralph Hendershot centerfield in games he didn't pitch. Dick Chergey is another important returnee from last year. He lead the team in hitting with .475 and in RBI's with 17. Coach Pinkowski will attempt to get Wilkes off on the winning foot with veteran George Gacha on the mound. Gacha is the only seasoned and tried pitcher on the squad at this point and will ,be depended upon to carry .the major bulk of the season's work. Last year Wilkes dropped a 3-1 decision to the Greyhounds at Bethlehem. Monday the baseball nine will open another season as they meet Muhlenberg at Allentown in the Mules' opening game.

A one hundred watt transmitter will be featured, and with it club members should be able to contact such places as Florida, Wyoming, and Canada. Dormitory students will also be able to talk to their homes via radio and telephone. This demonstration is an examplej of the services which the Radio Club plans ,to offer in the near future. The attic of Pickering Hall has been made available to the orga.n ization for the purpose of establishing a radio station. The April 4 club has requested radio equipment from the Army Supply Depot at 8 Tobyhanna, but even if equipment 9 cannot be obtained from this source, 11 the college should have its own 20 amateur radio station by next year. When the station is established, April the club plans to initiate a phone 8 20 net with other colleges. By using 22 this net students will ,b e able to 25 pass messages from here to other 28 cities free of charge. Members of the club who are May 3 licensed radio operators have volun6 teered their services to civil de9 fense to help in the event of an 13 emergency. Those who are not 14 "hams' are preparing themselves to 20 take the test for their novice licenses. Students who are interested in April 9 radio are urged -to join the club. 22 A special invitation is offered to 23 YL's (radio slang for young ladies). 27 Meetings are held every Friday at 30 noon on the second floor of PickerMay ing Hall. 3 Two months ago the Radio Club 7 did not exist. Now it is one of the 9 most aetive groups on campus and a real asset ,to the college. The 10 14 organization is a fine example of how much ean be accomplished by 16 21 initiative and interest.

Marv Antinnes became the first Wilkes wrestler ever to gain national honors last week when he was crowned champion of the 177pound class in the third annual National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics tournament. Four other Colonels carried the Blue and Gold colors into the NAIA event at Lock Haven State College and emerged from the coII11petition with a fourth place t eam finish. Bloomsburg State won the team championship, edging out defending champion Southern Illinois University. Host Lock Haven, Wilkes, and Lycoming completed the top clubs to give a " neighborhood look" to the top sta.ndings. Athlete of the Week For his winning performance, Antinnes- gains another award as Beacon Athlete of the Week. This is the fifth time he has earned the votes of the sports staff this year as he has clearly demonstrated his athletic superiority. Two other Wilkesmen shared in the fourth place finish as Bob Herman, 191 !Pounds, took third, and Brooke Yeager, 115 pounds, took fourth. Both m en were competing in classes outside their normal divisions. Championship Battle Antinnes continued to rule the roost in his weight division, winning the championship with a hardfought, 4-2 victory over strong Ken Houston of S. Illinois U. He set the stage for the title when he trimmed Bloomsiburg's Stan Elinsky, 9-1, after an initial win over Jim Domin of Baldwin-Wallace. The Illinois grappler registered a taikedown in the latiter part of the first period to take a 2-0 lead. The second period went scoreless with Antinnes gaining a full period of riding time as he thwarted all of Houston's eca,pe efforts. The third period went very slowly as Houston was content with trying to "breeze" into the championship circle, until the referee gave Antinnes a ,point for the stalling tactics of the Illinois grappler. With 50 seconds left in the match, Antinnes escaped to tie the score, 2-2, then took the strong gra•ppler down to register a 4-2 lead. Antinnes kept t he hold for the fad ing seconds of the match to win t he ·b out and the small college National cha,mpionship, thus ,p utting the finishing touches to a perfect season. His record was unblemished in dual meets, he won the Mid-Atlantic 177-pound crown, and was runnerup in the WHkes Open Tournament. Herman Takes Third Bob Herman, scrappy 191-pound entry, also looked very good in the event, t aking third ,p lace.

Allyn Jones, chairman of this year's visit to the Virginia Negro Institute, will gladly accept your reservation for this rewarding trip. l:;ach year the students of the two institutions exchange visits to help break down barriers of senseless racial prejudice. Those participating in years past have always given glowing reports of the enjoyable experience and have named it as one of the outstanding memories of college days. Dean Hawkins of Hampton was here recently during Brotherhood Week to address the Wilkes students at assembly. He and Dean George Ralston are friends of long standing and take particular care to see that each visit will be well planned and organized when his college is the host. This year Hampton will host Wilkes. The time for the trip is fast approaching - April 9 - and the Hampton students have gone to great lengths to insure a memorable weekend. Highlight of the "Wilkes Weekend" festivities will be the concert presented by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. Image America We don't intend this to be a free ad for the National Broadcasting Company, but we think that their coming "Image America" series will provide interesting and valuable listening for all Americans, coliege students especially. Beginning Monday, hnage America will present sixteen 90minute radio broadcasts designed to improve public understanding of the workings of American society. The Fund for Adult Education is presenting the series in cooperation with NBC and following its completion, the series will be released to noncommercial educational stations. The Fund also plan-s to make available records based on the series together with related reading materials, to encourage maximum educational use of individual programs by study-discussion groups. Enlisting the best minds of the nation to present its series, the Fund will attempt to reveal the true character of the nation, its people and institutions through a clear and honest appraisal of \heir strength and weaknesses and their probable future. The local outlet for the series is WBRt:-radio. Broadcasts will take place from 8:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Bob Considine, noted national columnist, sportswriter, and announcer, will narra-te the programs. Format of the series is based on two previous "Image· ' series, hnage Russia and hnage Minorities. Participants in the project are numerous and the lis,t reads like a Who's Who of any subject you can imagine. Their interests are varied: politics, labor, governmnet, literature, music, art, dance, industry, business, education, law, sociology, religion and many other areas. An infinitesimal sampling of the people show such as: Moss Hart, playwright; Paul M. Butler, Democratic National Committee Chairman and his Republican counterpart, the Hon. Thurston B. Morton; Norman M. Thomas, American Socialist; Robert A. Kennedy, McClellan Committee counsel; Ashley Montagu, anthropologist who addressed a Wilkes assembly two years ago; Vincent Price, actor; Dave Beck, ex-president of the Teamsters Union; Raymond Aron, Professor of Sociology a t the Sorbonne, Paris; and many, many others. For you convenience, we have listed below the dates of the programs in the series. Whether or not this program turns out to be blatantly propagandist in nature or paints an accurate and objective picture of America and its shortcomings as well as its good points is immaterial. As college students we should take every opportunity to increase our knowledge of our environs. Whether the programs live up to their promise or not, they should help us form opinions. Students the world over have always held firm opinions and ihave even broken out in riot to support them. We don't see many examples of such firmness of opinion - right or wrong on the American scene and almost none at all on the Wilkes campus. We do not ad v o c a t e riots and demonstrations, of course, but we do believe that it is the duty of every citizen, especially student citizens, to be fully informed. This series appears to promise a fine starting point. Lillle Thealer Presenls Comedy "Great Sebastians" Features Frances Clack.

Exchange Editor ----•--------------- _. .. ___ Stephen L. Cooney Friday, March 25, 1960 There Is An Answer by Michael Bianco and Gordon Roberts Last week the authors of this column discussed some of the political aspects in the American government. In this issue it might be wise to consider the important rol e of non-political individuals like the businessmen, who hold economic 'Positions of ,p ower similar to those in the political r ealm; and t he stud ent, who hold an academic trust of great significance. Prying into the conscience of the business world would reveal many busin essm en who would not give in one iota to the point of view of social responsibility and that these same men believe in t he highest return without conceding that anyone else is entitled to more than a fraction; even if laboring people are the prime part of the mechanism that produces w ealth for us all. Businessmen would adm it, in light of the Southern "lunch counter" strikes, that th ey are so timid aibout striking out against the abuse of th e .polit icians, so r eluctant to sacrifice what we have fought for, that they have mutely acknowledg ed legislation and demonstrations so a s to violate the Constitution in law and in spirit. Moreover, the closing of business establishments to N egroes in the South is a direct assault on the idea that all men, regardless of color, are created equal and the right to peacefully demon st rate. Obviously t he idea of Character and not Color has been subverted in the interest of materialism and bi,g otry. Possibly these businessmen dislike the loss of any material wealth because they beli eve that time and money cu.res all, and because they know others will do th e fighting for them . They hesitate to fight injustice for fe ar of losing their fortunes and their political friend, engaged in the Civil Rights filibuster. How can America represent a democracy of free enter-p rise at the coming Summit Conference or at any other meeting of East and West? P erhaps one of the biggest disap,pointments would :be revealed in purging the mind of the average student to find his views on the bus-,iness and ,political situation in America. 1 Maybe w e would find that as students we should take enough time and effort to h ear both sides of a controversial question, but fail to do so because we are satisfied by the men with the mellowest voices and the most lucrative 1>romises. We want opinions that soothe u s and we dislike people who just might stimulate our thinking. We prefer indecision to decision, b ut scorn those who tell us so. Most of us are so emlbroiled with daily tasks and the pursuit of the B.$. that we overlook current events in the world in general, and politics and business in particular. In our haste have we failed to note that Negroes in America have been deprived of their rights; that an American bishop has been imprisoned for life in Red China; that Communist r evolts have shaken the Caribbean to our south ; and that Indonesia, center of Southeast Asia, has excluded all anti-Communists from the government? All this within the last month and scarcely a word on these events uttered in student conversations! Is such an atmosphere, neiither businessman, politician or student can make unselfishness a national aspiration. Human understanding has been stunted in the race for material things and the uplifting of individual freedoms halted !because the influence of r eligion itself has a.bated in this world torn by ,bitterness and greed and hatred. There is an a n swer to all the things that ,p lague our world today. The key to the answer may be found in "that Code of Codes handed down to us in the New Deal of over two thousand year ago."

Any combination of Gutterduster wins and Pinbuster losses adding up to five will clinoh the pennant for the Gutterdusters, who now boast a four-game lead. The third~place Blitzkriegs must ,c ount on the Pinbusters to beat the Gmterdusters to keep theh- hopes alive. Their "magic number" is four. Sould the Gutterdusters win three points from the Pinbusters, the latter will be eliminated Sunday and the Blitzkriegs would have to win four to stay alive. Then they would have to beat the Gutterdusters on the final night of play, 4-0, to win. Trophy Seekers Dan Lewis a,ppears to have the hi,g h average trophy wrapped up with a 187 average over a 54-g ame span.

Dick Myers is fourth with 171 for 54 and Bill Watkins rounds out the top five with 170 for 52 games. Three men share the high single game honors at present. Dave Sokira has hit the 245 mark twice, while Lewis and Petrasek have each made it once. Only two more weeks remain for the deadlock to be broken. The high series trophy may go at 629, rolled .by P etrasek. If he takes it, this will be the lowest three-game series trophy in three years. Dan Lewis has won that hardware four times in the past. Lois Myers holds the lead in the race for the girls' high average with 130 for 53 games. Trophies will also ,b e given to each member of the first and second place teams.

After the Dance Business Is Good Wilkes College BOOKSTORE by John Nork A sure sign of spring, as any spo11;sman can tell you is the crack of the bat, and the familiar cry of the umpire's "Play Ball!" However, spring is her.e to everyone except the candidat es for the 1960 'baseball team. For the past two ,w eeks the practice sessions have been held in the gym as Coach Pinkowski ho·p es for the day when his boys can take to the fi eld, pull the bats from hibernation, dust off the ,ba.Jls and get the practice sessions officially underway. With just on e week left before the season starts, Pinkowski would welcome a break in the weather so he can g ive his charges a taste of the .ball agains,t the bat and the "smack of the pill in the old pad." Seven lettermen headline Coach Pinkowski's list of vet erans with only three men ,p laying for the last time. John Mattey, reserve catcher from la~.t yea r, hopes to t a,ke over the first team chores this season. Mattey is being given stiff competition by P et e Lesiuk, a promising new contender. Another senior member of the squad is hard-hitting centerfielder Ralph Hendershot of Larksville. Hendershot has been a leading member of the Colonel t eam for the ·p ast three years, and was voted the team's most valuable player for ,play in his sophomore year. The second base-shortstop duo of Dick Harvey and Jerry Lawrence is returning to, the squad, claiming to lbe in better form than last sea.son. Vet eran Bobby Ontko will be back "to hold down the hot corner for another year. Outfi.elder Paul Aquilino and •p itcher Gene Matthews round out the list of r eturnees, along with pitcher George Gacha the only other senior member of the squad. Gacha will likely handle most of the pitchi ng chores a s he is the chucker with the greatest amount of experience. Matthews is ex;pect ed to see !Plenty of action in a supporting role. At the ,p resent time the pitching staff is in need of more help due to the tight schedule the team will encounter as the season progresses. An adequate mound corps can be the determining factor in the final overall r.ecord for the season's play. Coach Pinkowski is also concerned about his outfield strength as Aquilino and Hendershot may be moved into other positions where their services would lbe needed. First base is vacant and Piillkowski is toying with the idea of moving Aquilino to the initial sack. The Colonels open the season at home next week as they meet defending Middle Atlantic champions Moravian in Artillery Park. So. River St. ".........

Drive Nears Goal; Lettermen, Gore Hall Contribute Toward Fund by Cynthia Hagley As of la.st Monday, the Development Fund had reached approximately $251,000. Included in this amount are Student contributions amounting to $1554. The Lettermen's Club and Gore Hall are outstanding in their contributions of $375 and $200, during the past five days. The la.st report meeting of the Drive itself showed that 23 per cent of the prospective contributors had not .been contacted yet. It will be another month or so before the fina l tally is known. As soon as the goal of $270,000 is reached, an announcement will be made. Payment of student pledges should lbe made directly to the Alumni office. Tentatively, this payment ,p rogram will start on April 1. If the individual student wishes to make special arrangements for paying the ·pledge, he is asked to contact Mr. Picton or his secretary. These payments are scheduled to end by June, 1961. A number of favorable comments have been made by m embers of the community about student support of the Fund Drive. Mr. Pioton stated that he was pleased with the student response to the campaign, and that the success of the drive in the light of others held in the Valley showed the support the college has locally. ,Dr. Gaito to Present Last in Series Of Space Lectures This is the B-52.

Mrs. Farley suffered from a coronary attack last Friday and spent several days under oxygen for relief of her condition. Our latest reports reveal that she is resting comfortably and that her condition is improving. Many students and organizations have sent cards and flowers. Others wishing to do so may address them to Mrs. Farley in care of the General Hospital. The gracious First Lady of t-he College has been a favorite with Wilkes people for over a quarter of a century, with her ready smile and pleasant disposition. She is always prepared, and happy, to have visitors at her home. Students as well as faculty a·n d administration personnel always receive a warm welcome and seldom does one leave the Farley residence without having enjoyed her famous spiced tea. We all join in wishing Mrs. Farley a speedy and complete recovery. Student contributions to the Three-Phase Development Drive are currently in the neighborhood of $2000, a very nice neighborhood to be in. This response came in the short space of less than two weeks and has been sparked by several noteworthy contributions from the students. Reports have reached our editorial desk that the men of Butler Hall have been responsible for something in the vicinity of $600 and they expect that to go up when the proceeds of their "House of Horrors" gimmick are totalled. The Butlerites will share the honors of that donation with the girls from Sterling Hall, co-sponsors of the "IT" affair next Saturday night. The Collegians have also recorded a $50 gift in addition to personal pledges made by some of the individual singers in that group. The outlook for eventual realization of the entire $270,000 seems good, since many distant alumni of the College have been contacted by mail and their cards have not yet been returned. It is estimated that even if only a small percentage of these outstanding cards are returned with minimal pledges, the remaining nine per cent of the goal will be met. A Dangerous Situation The Court of Appeals began reviewing briefs of the Student Government-I.C.G. controversy yesterday. We would strongly urge that all students take careful note of the proceedings and become familiar with the case. The Student Constitution is getting its first real test and the outcome will affect every student as well as each organization. For the "sea lawyers" on campus, we suggest a check of the student Handbook which contains a reprint of the Constitution outlining Student Government's powers and areas in which those powers are in effect, as well as explaining the Court of Appeals and its role. The I.C.G. claims that Student Government has wrongfully deprived it of use of funds to which the club is entitled. The Government counters with I.C.G.'s failure to comply with stated policies concerning procedure for affairs on the social calendar. The funds under consideration are in the Intercollegiate Conference treasury, money under the supervision of Student Government for distribution to duly constituted groups wishing to attend out-of-town events pertinent to the interest of qualifying organizations. This is not to be confused with ,t he Student Activities Fund, distributed to such oragnizations as the Amnicola, Beacon, or others for their year's operation. The I.C.G. receives no money from ,t his source. . Whatever the outcome of this dispute, we see a dangerous situation developing. A weak governing body will be of little use, one too powerful can - under radical hands - destroy all that years of careful planning have developed. Either condition could result from the present controversy. No student will be without an opinion when the case is settled. The logical place ,t o air said opinions is in the "Letters to the Editor" column of this paper. 1ihe time to stand up and be counted is now. Public opinion is the ground from which progress is harvested. Don't let your plot of that ground lie fallow.

" There Is An Answer by Michael Bianco and Gordon Roberts Student Donations Help Campaign Student Tour Unveiled Friday, March 18, 1960 I _,,,,"";. by Leona A. Baiera A German film entitled Fidelio will be presented by the modern language department Wednesday afternoon from four to six in Stark 116, and Thursday from 11 to 1. Fidelio, Beethoven's only opera, has been brought ito the screen in a magnificent motion picture which represents the full realization of his theme. The setting of rthe film centers in eighteenth century Spain. The sitar, Claude Nollier, plays with overwhelming intensity the faithful and blessed woman who as Fidelio, also known as Leonore, a noble lady of Seville, bears the torch of freedom to her husband's dungeon. Her husband, Florestan, languishes in an unknown prison as a political prisoner. The film Fidelio is not just a reproduction of a stag-e performance. In its scope of production, its settings, its imaginative and' stirring unity of acting, music, and singing, it is an original and !brilliant cinematogra-p hic formulation springing directly from Beethoven's masterpieces and serving the idea of Fidelio with full and beautiful im,pact. Marcia Davenport, the music critic and biographer, has paid tribute to the opera, Fidelio in these memorable words : "A simple story of indomitable courage and the will to freedom was symbolic to Beethoven of his own long fight to free himself from the intolerable limitations of life. . . . Through this music he wrung from life the freedom of immortality. Therein he frees us all from imprisonment in our mundane selves." ARE POLITICIANS GOING TO DESTROY THE WORLD? 1960 is the year of choice. Men must choose the man who will be the th~rty-fourth President of the United States. 1960 is also the year of choice for many people around the world; the choice is totalitarianism or democracy as the leader of the free world. As election time draws near in America, more and more virulenit attacks are being exchanged .by the presidential candidates in an a;ttempt to defame the opposition candidate. Name calling is not the answer; we need a regeneration of loyal spirit inside of the government outside of the government, in -t he loftiest places and in the lowli~t if we are to meet the force of totalitarianism fully prepared. The -p oliticians obviously have failed to apply a vita.J factor in our government. If "hones.t" in the absolute sense of the word was applied by the public office holder, he would find that he is one of those involved in organized dishonesty or self-exploitation by the several at the expense of the nation. Absolute honesty applied to the political field would reveal much. We would see that greed is not confined to any class nor is selfishness a rare character of those who can have a little or much more material things than others. We' would find thait people who blame everybody else for the present situation are really at fault themselves. The politician would go on •t o admit that he covers up the truth by telling the American people only those things which will look politically favorable and that we never permit ·a word of s-e lf-criticism emana,te from our midst lesrt it tarnish our pattern of perfection and self-praise. Instead of frankly admitting mistakes, we will go to extremes in order to pass off errors and imperfections. On the other hand, we might find the opposition leveling criticisms merely rto win an ar,g ument and not because he wants better government and equitable legislation for the people. A minority faction should ·place the interests of ,t he nation before the interest of the party. History has shown that government itself, whether Republican or Democratic, is not free from the desire to ex,p loit exercise of political preference, from handing out jobs for ·political favors, or from handing out favors that are not essential for good government but are very necessary for political reasons. The politician admits that his actions are controlled by his fear of losing power and not by his deepest convictions. Why is it that people do not rebel more strongly against all that politics has done and still does to cripple democracies of our time? The answer to this question is one which all of us are reluctant to admit, an answer which should penetrate to the very heart of Americans everywhere. It is an admission that selfishness has so blinded politicians and the ,people a.Jike that the football of religion has slipped in a world torn with bitterness and passions.

WILIIBS COLLEGE BEACON �WILIF,S COLLEGE Friday, March 18, 1960 Lockerroom Chatter BEACON 3 Wilkes Matmen Seeking Another Title by RAY YANCHUS, Sports Editor Although John Reese's matmen came up with their fourth consecuti,ve Middle Atlantic Conference championshi,p two weeks ago at Lebanon Valley, the price of victory seems ito have been a paradox with the choosing of an outstanding wrestler for the tournament. Dick Stauffer at 130 pounds and Marv Antinnes at 177 pounds, who were both undefeated during regular season matches, quickly showed the fans and the coaches present how the y had built up their records . . The two men emer,g ed as champions in their classes at the end of the two day event as a resu1t of sensational ·p erformances against top performers. With Stauffer handling what many felt was the toughest weight class and Antinnes scoring the highest point total in the tourney, the two ·Colonel wrestlers established themselves as leading contenders for the coveted award at the conclusion of the itwo days of "grunt and groan" antics. However, the parodx unfolds to its full est extent at this point, for wiith two tremendous performances by both Wilkesmen, they split the vote of the judges who picked the Outstanding Wrestler. It was ironical that both Stauffer and Antinnes drew 5 votes apiece out of the total votes cast and that Lycoming's Harry Romig emerged as the Outstanding Wrestler with a total of six. It can 'be seen here that the two Colonel grap,plers outscored the one Lycoming candidate, however, only one man wins, and that was the price that Wilkes and her two champions paid because they were so good in the Tourney. MORGAN ADDS COLOR 'Dhe entire story concerning the outstanding wrestler award cannot be left at that without mentioning the tremendous performance staged by Wilkes' captain, Joe Morgan, as he met Romig in the finals of the 137-pound class. It was the consensus of many fans and reporters · pres·e nt at the tournament that it was the drive, determination, and all-around hustle shown by Morgan in the bout that presented the Lycoming wrestler with the opportunity to put forth his besit effort. The final score of the match was 6-1 but it does not describe the action that took '])lace on the mat during the nine minutes of wrestling. Morgan was all over the mat trying every trick he had learned in four years of varsity wrestling and his effoits made for the most exciting bout of the evening. Another point not made known concerning the bout was that Morgan had his man in plenty of trobule as he flung him around for a takedown and then gave up two points and a possible three as Romig showed signs of being hurt and Morgan released his hold and lost the points. So this is a belated salute to the departing ca.ptain of the matmen not only for his competitive s,p irit shown in the recent tournament but also for his contribution to the Wilkes sports scene for the past four years. Af ~ AA Statistic! The other day our vice president in charge of good news announced that someone, somewhere, enjoys Coke 68 million times a day.

Several students have given the usual reaction - snorts and snide comments, but we feel certain that the students on the whole will cooperate in this drive. We feel this way because we have faith in the sense of fair play Wilkes students have always exhibited. As we see it, the serious and thinking student realizes that the good citizens of this community have been asked to help the development of their community college many times in past years. In almost every instance, these citizens have come through generously and the campaigns have always succeeded. The last one, three years ago, was a resounding success. Without the splendid cooperation of the students, that campaign would have been short of its goal. We remember that campaign and the looks of pleasure on the faces of local citizens when the final report meeting showed that student contribution provided the margin of success. We feel that such help by the students makes a solid impression on the people who have supported this institution for over a quarter of a century. Once more the students are asked to lend a helping hand. No member of the campaign committee expects that hard-pressed students will cough up the whole $270,000. They would be pleased, however, to see that the beneficiaries of their efforts have an interest in their success. We are, in effect, asking these citizens to tour the Valley and ask other citizens to contribute to the College. While these people do this, we can hardy sit back and watch the coins roll in. If we can't show interest in a drive to improve our own facilities, how can we expect others to have any luck soliciting donations? Trite, but true is the old chestnut - it's not the gift that counts in this instance, but the thought behind it. If the entire student body contributed a total of only a few dollars, the local citizenry would be impressed by its effort to pull itself up by its own bootstraps. We feel that a cash contribution, no matter how small, would make a tremendous impression greater even than a higher amount pledged over a long period. We do not suggest that the latter method of helping out be forgoMen, but we do sincerely suggest that every student think carefully and decide which way suits his financial situation. Congratulations, Vol. IV Once more we have the pleasant duty of extending congratulations to coach John Reese and his wrestling team, four-time winners of the Middle Atlantic Conference championship. This is getting to be a habit, and one we would hate to break. We here at Wilkes have more to be proud of than we realize. For instance, we overheard several of the coaches and officials commenting on the sportsmanship and manners of the Wilkesmen. Always polite and soft-spoken, every man made a good appearance, was neat and orderly. Even other wrestlers mentioned the fact that the Colonels were a "bunch of nice guys." This is the highest compliment, since wrestlers as a class are perhaps the best-natured competitors off the field of battle in any sport. For the record, the Colonels went to Lebanon Valley with a string of sixteen straight meets without a loss - there was one tie with Hofstra. Now they have added their fourth straight Conference championship, an unprecedented record. Further, since a highly disputed loss to Bloomsburg in 1955, the team has chalked up 36 wins, two ties, and one defeat. During that time, the other tie, with Millersville, was the only blot on a 23-meet unbeaten skein. The same Millersville team stopped Wilkes on the next-to-last meet of the 1957-58 season. The current 16-meet streak without defeat goes back to the last meet of that season, an easy win over Fairleigh-Dickinson. Spring Weekend, Prom, Parties On Committee Agenda by Wayne Thomas Plans for Spring Weekend, which will be held on May 13, 14, and 15, were the major topic of discussion at ithe School Spirit Committee meeting on Tuesday night. The Cinderella Ball will be held on Friday, May 13, from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., in the gymnasium. The dance will be a formal affair. The commiittee voted to conduct two dormitory .parties on Saturday night, May 14. An orchestra will be provided at each dormitory ·for dancing. The particular dormitories to be used have not been decided upon as yet. Jim Stephens, co-chairman of the committee, announced that an atitempt will be made to have the baseball game and tennis match scheduled to be played at Albright on May 14 moved to Wilkes on that date. The group also discussed a possible outing and the use of decorations similar to the Homecoming displays. The proposed plans for decorations will be submiitted to the individual organizations at their next meetings. Each individual organization will thereby have an op,p ortunity to express its views on the decorations proposal. Representation Lacking The view was also expressed that many organizations are not sending representatives to the meetings and that these groups are being deprived of their representation on the committee. It was also emphasized thait due to the coming of Spring Weekend many more participants will be needed if the committee is to make a success of the spring affair. ,P residents of the various campus organizations will be contacted and asked to check on their 1·especitive representatives. The School Spirit Committee is continuing its campaign for Amnicola patrons and iboosters. Anyone wishing to have his name appear in the yearbook as a patron or a booster s~ould contact a member of the commiittee. . . The recent Beacon ed1tonal dealing with school spirit was discussed and the committee as yet has taken no action on it. .1'.he next meeting of the School Spmt Committee will be held on Tuesday, March 22, on the second floor of the Bookstore.

Friday, March 11, 1960 Two alumni of the college have received national recognition recently, both in the profession of law. Attorney J. Harold Flannery, Jr., the son of Judge Flannery, was one of the three members of ithe Justice Department counsel who pre.pared a brief and helped the Solicitor General present the case of 1,377 Negro voters who had been dropped from the voting rolls in Louisiana's Washington Parish (county). The case was presented to the Supreme Court; on February 29 the Supreme Court ordered that the 1,377 Negroes be restored to Louisiana's voting rolls. The decision by the Supreme Court was unanimous. Previous to coming to Wilkes, Flannery attended Wyoming Seminary and Lafayette College. He transferred here from Lafayette in February of 1953. While he was here, Flannery was a member of the Cue 'n' Curtain, the Manuscript, and the Debating Society. He graduated in 1955 with an A.B. degree in History. Jesse Choper has been chosen by Chief Justice Earl Warren to be his clerk for the coming year. Choper is currently a senior in the University of Pennsylvania Law School. This is not the first time Choper has had national recognition. While a student here he won national acclaims as a debator, ranking third individually in the United States in 1957. That same year he won the Harvard Invitational Debating Tournament. Af:ter .g raduating summa cum laude from Wilkes, with the highest academic average ever achieved by a Wilkes student, Choper received a scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Sta,nding secontl in his class, he was elected to the Law Review in 1958 and this year served as its research editor. Prior to his appointment by Chief Justice Warren, Choper had accepted a teaching position at the University of Minnesota Law School, which has now granted him a leave of absence so that he may fulfill his new duties in Washington. Dr. Kruger was heard to say in one of his speech classes that he wouldn't work three minutes for two dollars. Wonder what kind of wages he gets here? Or maybe he doesn't consider teaching work? :i:::1* * ** Have you observed circulation this week?

It was a welcome relief from classes. At the announcement Thursday night, many of the dorms had impromptu parties, and numerous snow-men were erected. Yours truly, The Observer Assembly Organization Explained; Commillee Members Listed by Lynne Dente Every Thursday morning at eleven o'clock, the majority of . . · d h f h kl students direct their footsteps towar t e gym or t e wee y assembly program. Yet few of these students know. the background of "assembl(: ?ow it ~ organized, the purposes,. or its powers. The orgaruzation behmd the weekly program IS the Assembly Committee. I The purpose of the Wilkes College Student Assembly Committee is to help the administra.tion prepare the assembly schedule, proctor the planning of assemblies by campus groups, and to select the yearly winner of the "Best Student Assembly Award." The membership of the Committee consists of six to twelve members, and new mem!bers are elected by the current members. The members of the Committee for this school year include Robert Amey, Pat Belardinella, Mike Bianco, Barry Gintel, Betsy Hoeschele, Jocelyn King, Al Kishel, Moncey Miller (Chairman), George Reynolds, Dick Salus, Nancy Tinklepaugh, and Sandy Ungar. The advisor is selected by the Administration, and the chairman of the Committee is selected in the spring for the following school year by the current members. Meetings are called 1by the chairman or the advisor. This year's meetings have been held at Miss Cole's residence on Sunday evenings. The budget is approximately $1,000 per yea.r , and is contributed by the Administration for the use in faculty assemblies. Student assemblies are presented by the campus clubs, which take full responsi•b ility for the program. The clubs fill in application forms which indicate the desired date for the program, the chairman of the program, the president of the organization, the faculty advisor, the type of program, the number of participants, the necessary props, and the expenses involved. Class Meetings Alternating with the assembly programs are the class meetings. Previous to placing class meetings on the Tuesday calendar there was not enough time for class officers to work with the members of the class. In order to promote greater student activity, the class sponsors requested that certain assembly dates be set aside for class meetings, since the assembly time was the most convenient time for the meetings. This program has been in effect only for the past two years. It is hoped that atfter graduation the various classes will continue to show an interest in the college and participate in their class memorial plans. WHAT ... WHERE ... WHEN ...

To illus- The road to victory was not an easy one for the good-looking grappler but in his usual style he overcame the difficult O'bstaeles to help ,b ring ,b ack the MAC championship to Colonelsville. Marv's first match of the tournament was against Ed Callahan of Muhlenberg and the "Colonel Mustang" registered a fall in 4 :39 to begin his conquests. A 57-second pin was the story of Marv's next victory with Gettyslb urg's Irving Lindley's shoulders finding the mat in short order. The semi-final match was the biggest threat to the crown as Joe Martins of PM-C was riding on a 32-meet victory skein and loomed as a co-favorite to win the title. Marv ended his hopes and winning ways by registering a hard-fought 4-0 victory. The championship bout sent our "Blue and Gold" matmen against Barry Gi1bson of West Chester State College. The match was one of the best of the season and, as he has made a habit of it, Marv emer,g ed victorious with a 9-4 victory and the coveted 177-lb. crown. Marv led all matmen in scoring in the ·tournament with 15 ,p oints and emerged as runner-up for the outstanding wrestler award. Winning the MAC championship is nothing new for Marv as last year he wore the 167-lb. MAC crown and his freshman year was runner-up in the tournament. The Wilkes Open Tournament found Marv a runner-up in the 167-lb. class, the furthest a Colonel grappler ever went in the tournament. The mats aren't the only sports ence swimming tournament ait Bucknell University. Although they failed to place at all in any event as a team, the Colonels did manage to wdn the protested meet against Lycoming that had been lost earlier in the season. The best the tankmen could do in the individual competition were Jerry Mohn's and Carl Havira's seventh place showings in their events. Jerry took sevenith in freshman diVling and Carl, although he turned 'in his best times of the season, took seventh in the 200 yard individual medley, 1butterfly, and breaststroke events. Also ait the tournament, the coaches of the teams discussed the Wilkes ,p rotest of the results of the first meet of the season against Lycoming. I.t had been under protest because afiter both teams had been disqualified in the final relay, the event was run again, the Warrtlors won it and submitted the results as their victory. The coaches Marv Antinnes decided in favor of the Colonels giving them a season record of two area where Marv excels. He led wins and three losses. the Colonel gridders in scoring and ball-can-ying for the .p ast two seasons, and each time rated as one of the top ball-carriers in the conference.

I by Thomas Evans The Rowdies squeaked out a 4644 overtime victory against Gore Hall last Tuesday to win the interleague playoff game and emerge as Intramural basket/ball champions for the 1959-60 season. First half ac:tion saw the Rowdies take an early lead with the score 21-14 at the end of the second quarter. Howev•e r, a fourth quarter surge 'by Gore which was paced by Paul Aquilino's steady shooting and the ball-hawking of Lou Davis, brought about a 40-40 deadlock rut the end of regulation time. Fearsome Fred Williams and Ed Gavel shared scoring honors in the overtime period to give the win to the National Leaguers. This pair also took scoring honors for the game with 14 and 13 points.

POMEROY'S by Frances Olack The Collegians, directed by Bill Peters, will present a program of vocal music at t he student assembly next Tuesday. Highlight of the program will be the announcement of the selection of the chorus director for the next two years. The Collegians are an all..male chorus, forty members strong. However, t he forerunner of this group was a quartet begun in 1950. Preceding directors have been: Bill Crowder, Bob Lynch, and Sam Lowe. The chorus has grown gradually, and now enjoys a prominent spot in the community. The Collegians ~erform at high schools, civic groups, church organizations, and college functions. Oftentimes they combine with the Girls' Chorus for programs. The present officers of rthe Collegians are: Dick Myers, president; Dick Wileman, vice-president; Harry Owens, secretary; Bob Eike, librarian - historian; and Morey James, treasurer. Accompanists fo r the group are Walter Umla and Thomas Hrynkiw. It is interesting to note that every curriculum in the college is represented in t h e Collegians' ranks. Impending plans include a tour of upper New York state high schools in April and the making of a long-playing record in early spring. This record will include sacred songs, folk songs, and music from Broadway shows. The program of the assembly will include selections by Mozavt, Shaw, and Thompson. The chorus will also sing medleys from "Showborut" and " Oklahoma" as well as The Battle Hymn of the Republic. Soloists for the program will be Merritt Wheeler, Don Jones, Ray Nutaitis, and David Lear.

Winter's Roughest Attack Ineffective As Beacon Staff Delivers On Time Neither rain nor snow nor sleet nor lack of classes . . . nothing can stop the Beacon. That was shown last Friday when the Beacon made its regular appearance, right on schedule, even though there was hardly a soul around to read the paper. Beacon boss Dick Myers and his circulation manager, J erry Chisarick, were seen blithely guiding their snow-chained chariot around the campus, dropping off the newspaper into the dese1ted buildings. Several observers noticed that delivery was about 40 minutes behind the usual 11 :35 completion time, but nobody offered any complaints. The two delivery men blamed that on the weather, but informed sources attri,b uted the delay to Chisarick's avowed desire to remain in bed on a day when there were no classes. Roused out of bed at the unearthly hour of 9 :15 on a day of no school, Chisarick answered Myers' call with a few bear-like grunts before returning to hibernat e until 11. The whole intent behind the distribution wa,s maintaining the Beacon's years-long standing of ,p rompt delivery. Even when the print shop was replacing its outdated, full-size press earlier in the year, the Beacon staff rallied around the small-job press at the printery and put out the famous "comic book" edition - on time. Also, last year a mechanical breakdown caused the editorial staff to work with the printer up until midnight in order to make sure that the Beacon got out on time - the following day. Friday's delivery, despite a heavy snow and deserted campus, kept perfect a record of at least five year's standing, a record of always having the Beacon in the hands of its readers before Noon on Friday.

In defeating Barry Gibson of West Chester for the title, Antinnes was taken down for the first time this season. Gibson pulled the trick in just 36 seconds of the bout, but Antinnes escaped in six seconds. Later, Gibson reversed Antinnes, but the Colonel was free again in 26 seconds and won the bout, 9-4. A Flexible Charge Account - at - The annual exchange program between students of Wilkes and the Hampton Institute, Virginia, will be held this year on April 9. This program is held each year to promote better understanding between students and has always been a memorable experience for those who participate. This year, at Hampton, the program prompted the students of that institution to declare the weekend "Wilkes Week" and they have planned a full schedule of events. Highlight of ithe visit will be attendance at a concert performed by the Pittsburgh Philharmonic Orchestra. Dean Hawkins of Hampton recently spoke here at a student assembly on the occasion of Brotherhood Week. His address was wellreceived by students attending. Any m ember of the Wilkes student body who is interested in participating in this year's exchange is asked to speak to Allyn Jones, Butler Hall. The Wilkes group will be guests of the Hampton men for the entire weekend and will be given a tour of the campus in addition to t ours to points of local interest. Jones emphasized that the weekend visit is open to women as well as to men. Plans are now being formulated for the trip and interested students are requested to indicate their desire to go as soon as possible.

Included in this amount are: $8,160 contributed from special gifrts; $7,245 from corporate gifts; $5,585 from general gifts; and $623 from alumni gifts. Present at Monday's report meeting was David Vann, an alumnus of Wilkes, who spoke about the scholarship aid program. Mr. Vann r ec,eived scholarship aid while at Wilk es and he stated that this aid not only enabled him to attend college, but also provided him with the opportunity to show leadership abilities which resulted in a Rotary Scholarship for one y,ear of study at Rhodes University in South Africa. Dr. Farley and Russell Picton are going to visit the various alumni chapters in places such as Binghamton, New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Bethlehem, Easton, Allentown, and Reading. In rthis particular area a committee of 50 alumni has been established with Clayton Bloomburg as division leader. These people will visit the graduates of Wilkes living in the Valley to solicit their aid in the campaign. Other divisions of the campaign are being led by: James P.

Senior Dinner Dance Tonight at Legion; Music by Statesmen by Pat Rossi Next Wednesday evening the "Student Stars" will oppose the "Faculty Flashes" in one of the funniest basketball games on the court - Donkey Basketball, a combination of a rodeo, a circus, and a basketball game. The "Student Stars," the Wilkes athletes, will try to avenge their loss of last year to the "Faculty Flashes," members of the college faculty. In this game, there are only four men on a team, two guards and two forwards. To start the game, each team gets set under a basket using the opposite basket as their goal. Players can retrieve the ball and pass it only if they are mounted or if they have the reins in their hands. A ,p layer can ride the length of the floor with the ball, but he cannot hold it more than 15 seconds. All of the baskets must be made while the player is mounted. As a change from the regular basketball rules, the players can substitute anytime they wish merely by walking onto the ftoor and taking the other player's place. In this game just about anything goes because there are no out-of-bounds, time-outs, or fouls. The "Faculty Flashes" will have as their player-coach, Dean of Men George F. Ralston. His fellow teammates will be: Dr. Francis Michelini, Dr. John Gaito, Francis Pinkowski, Russell R. Picton, Jr., John Reese, Richard Krutchkoff, and Robert Morris. On the opposing team, Al Dobrowalski will be the captain and player-manager of the "Student Stars." Members of his team include: Joe Morgan, Bernie Radecki, Ray Marchakitus, Frank Spudis, Marv Antinnes, Fred Williams, George Gacha, and Carl Havira. The starting lineup of each team is still a deep-guarded secret, but don't worry, you shouldn't have too much trouble distinguishing them from their four-footed accomplices. Jim McCarthy, local sportscaster, will be on hand to relate the description of the game. Bill Hawke, general chairman, has announced that two trophies will be awarded - one trophy to the winning team and one trophy to the high scorer of the game. Donkey Basketball is being brought to Wilkes-Barre under the sponsorship of the Jnior Class, and it will be played in the college gymnasium on Wednesday night beginning at 8 p.m. The price for this unusual night of entertainment is only 65 cents for adults and 35 cents for children under 12. The various chairmen and their committees have worked hard to make this event a success. Ray Van Why and Jane Jablonski are cochair.men of publicity; Al Dobrowalski, the riders; Dave Kline and Bob Ontko, the door; Edward Kemps, arrangements; Herb Kline and Phil White, tickets. by Lynne Dente Today is the last day that tickets for the Senior Class Dinner Dance will be sold.

Perhaps we have enough to do without meddling in the affairs of campus organizations, but the following is meant as constructive criticism. The School Spirit Committee was formed several years ago as a self-appointed guardian of student enthusiasm. Whenever any event concerning the entire student body was in the planning stages, this group made it its business to see that everyone was informed about the activity and encouraged to take active part, or at least give active support. At first the group performed cheerleader duties, to put it simply. Since, however, the Committee has taken a broader interpretation of its function and is active in nearly every phase of campus life. Few organizations with worthwhile projects have operated without moral support from the Committee. The Amnicola, for example, has benefitted greatly from the Committee's efforts to see that "booster" ads to aid publication are taken by individuals and clubs. When the Committee was first formed, we felt that its existence was unnecessary, the result of a pessimistic view of campus spirit, even an insult to .the active students who cheerfully supported every activity possible. We felt that the admission by the Committee that school spirit needed boosting was a negative attitude, but said nothing about it. Since, many people from many areas ouside the College have commented on the good spirit of the Wilkes students, their pride in their College, and their participation in worthwhile community efforts. We feel that these welcome comments are all the reward needed by those who render such community services. Whether these recent comments reflect an increased show of school spirit is debatable. We have always insisted that Wilkes College has always had plenty of spirit and therein rests our argument. We feel that the need for a School Spirit Committee - if such need ever existed at all - is no more. There is need for what the Committee is doing, however. Rather than concern itself with whipping up enthusiasm where enthusiasm is already sufficient, we are pleased to see that the Committee is taking upon itself such important duties as the conduct of the coming Spring Weekend. We are not advocating the abandonment of the Committee, but we do request it to consider a change of name. It is an active group and an enthusiastic one. It deserves and gets, support from all phases of campus life. More important, however, is its need for a more appropriate title. An outsider would get the irnression that all the school spirit at Wilkes is found in the committee of the same name and that the organizations it supports rely upon it for getting results. This is far from the truth. School spirit belongs to all the students and giving the title to one group is a negative reflection on every other group. Finally, we feel that the group does it~elf a disservice with the title, since its work concerns itself with far more important things than mere "drum-beating." We feel it should take on a name with broader implications and let the term "school spirit" stay where it belongs - with every student and every group active on campus. WHAT . . . WHERE . . .

STICKY TACTICS (ACP) - A dean at Henderson State Teachers College (Ark.) has come up with a new system of getting students to attend class, says the Henderson Oracle. -The dean suggests that schools begin giving stamps for class attendance. !Upon filling a ,book of these stamps, students would be awarded gifts from stores downtown. The dean also suggested that stamps be given for grades. The Oracle comments: "While this seems very improbable at present, several schools have had certain systems in awarding special letters or awards to students with special scholastic ability. One school in the northern states (unidentified) used the same lettering syst~m as the athletic department in all departments. If a student made top ,g rades in math classes, he received a sweater and letter signifying that he had lettered in math." held at the first meeting in May, and elections will take place the following week. In the future, the members plan to set up an am exhi,b it displaying creative and artistic works in oils, pen and ink, water colors, and charcoal. They are also planning a field trip and a possible museum tour during the ensuing months. :,That horn-blower behind me got my goat.;•" • Even good clrivers can be :forced into accidents! A hill-climbing truck ahead and a parade of honkers behind can try your patience. A tailgater with blazing lights can make you boil. But don't let them push you into a rash move.

Hours: 10 to 9 - Daily Valley College, seeking their fourth consecutive Middle Atlantic Championship this weekend. A total of 21 schools have entered teams with the top contenders for the crown being Wilkes, Lycoming, Hofstra, and West Chester State College. The large number of wrestlers insures keen com,petition, and to make rnatiters rougher, there are six 1959 chMnpions and one 1958 titlist among the more than 150 entries who will compete for eight division crowns. Wilkes has three defending champions on its squad. Dick Stauffer, with an undefeated record, is last year's 123-lb. titlist ,w ho has moved up to the 130-lb. class. Ted Toluba is the defending 157-lb. title holder. He is back in top shape after a bad start this season because of injuries to his shoulder. Marv Antinnes, who has an unblemished record for the last two seasons, moves up to the 177-lb. class after capturing the laurels in the 167-J.b. class last season. Other champions entered include: Harry Roonig, 137-lb. champ from Lycoming, who was outstanding wrestler in last year's meet; Mike Pacilio, Gettysburg heavyweight, who has a 10-0 record this season; ,a nd John Ayre, 130-lb. titlist from Bucknell. Down Gettysburg, 27-3 The Wilkes wrestlers tuned up for the MAC tournament with an impressive 27-3 victory over the Gettysburg grapplers. The Colonel victory •w as ,t he 18th for the Reesemen without a defeat in dual meet competition. Marv Antinnes scored his twentythird consecutive victory by pinning Gettysburg's Lindley with a crucifix hold in 4 :04. The Colonel's 177lb. grappler looked as impressive as always in extending his winning skein. Wilkes' captain and 137-lb. wresler, Joe Mor,g an, finished his collegiate wrestling career in dualmeets in fine style by registering a 4:44 fall over Norm Maisel. Dick Stauffer also continued his winning ways by scoring a second period pin, via the cradle hold, over Jim Comas in the 130-lb. class. Freshman Brooke Yeager also looked very ,good in decisioning the Bullets' Tom Propst, 9-7, in the 123-lb. class. MAC 157-lb. champ Ted Toluba scored his third win in a row with an impressive 6-0 decision a,t the expense of Jim White. Mik~ Armstrong and Glenn Rittenhouse, 147 and 167-lb. Wilkes wrestlers, saw things pretty much the same way. They wrestled twin brothers and each won by a decision. Armstrong decisioned Norman Henry in a close bout, 5-4, while Rittenhouse widened the gap and decisioned brother Pat Henry, 8-1. The lone Gettysburg win came in the heavyweight bout where MAC champion Mike Pacilio decisioned hard-working Colonel Bob Herman. This is ,t he first time this season the Bullet heavyweight hasn't been able to score a fall. dle Atlantic Swimming Championship events at Bucknell University. The Wilkes delegation will be led by Carl Havira who will swim in the 200 yard butterfly, 200 yard :b reaststroke, and the 200 yard individual medley events. Pat Shovlin will compete in the 200 yard butterfly and the 200 yard individual medley events with Havira. Art Eckhart will be entered in the fifty and the 100 yard freestyle events. Dick Bender will participate in the freshman diving event. Wilkes versus Pennsylvania Military College Wednesday, February 24, the Colonel tankmen took advantage of Pennsylvania Military College's lack of depth to defeat them, 51 to 44, and ,b ring home their first win of the season. Despite the fact that they won seven of the eleven events, the weakness which PMC had displayed against Millersville State College again proved to be the reason for their defeat. Leading by a slim margin of three points, Carl Havira withdrew from the 200 yard breaststroke to participate in the 400 yard freestyle relay, the last event of the meet. PlYiC tied the score, 44 to 44, in the breaststroke event but the Colonel team of Ed Gavel, Pat Shovlin, Carl Havira, and Art Eckhart won the relay to clinch the meet, 51 to 44. Blitzkriegs in First; Gutterdusters Fall As Pinbusters Gain by John Nork First place has changed hands so many times in the scond half of the season that onlookers are led to assume that equality was the essence when the ,b owlers were parcelled out to their respective teams. Each team, with the exception of the Pinbusters and the Kingpins, has claimed at least once to have possessed the coveted position. The process was repeated once again Sunday as the Gutterdusters were forced out of first by the 3-1 victory of the Blitzkriegs. In other action, the Pinbusters flattened the Flatballs, 4-0, and the Smashers copped three points from the Kingpins. Dave Gozdiskowski, 177-515 and Fred Jacoby, 178-511 led their Blitzkriegs in their victory upset of the Gutterdusters. For the first Ume in a long time, Dick Myers and Dan Lewis' efforts failed to formulate in victory for their Gutterdusters. Myers had a 203-556, Lewis a 186-512. The Pinbusters finally snapped out of a slump, and in a big way, as .they took a clean sweep victory from the Flatballs. Emil Petrasek showed tremendous form rolling a 222-617. Dave Sokira, the No. 2 bowler of the league, chipped in with a 203-556. The Flatballs had Jerry Chisarick and Tom Evans roll a 199-504 and 169-487, but their (contmued on page ,) Next time one of her dates bring up the SchleswigHolstein question, she'll really be ready for him.

Market St. - Wilkes-Barre TDR Needs Cooperation For Successful Bake Sale by Mary Frances Barone TDR members are making final preparations for their bake sale at Pennsylvania Power and Light Company on Tuesday, March 8. The girls will bake the cookies with the assistance of the home economist from the P.P.&L. The cookies will be sold from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The girls will prepare pineapple and ranger cookies. The cookies will be priced at 45 cents a dozen. Pre-sale orders will be taken by chairman Jane Neddoff and her committee on first floor of the cafeteria on Monday from 12 to 1. Any girl interested in working on Monday night or Tuesday for the bake sale should contact Jane Neddoff today or Monday. Workers are needed to .prepare the mixture on, Monday night and to bake and sell on Tuesday. Members are reminded that cooperation and organization are needed to make the sale a success. There is the ,p ossibility that, if there is no co-operation from the members of TDR, the bake sale will be cancelled. Chairman Neddoff has stated that there has been little interest shown so far. Another reminder is that other organizations have held bake sales which have been successful. Science Departments Plan High School Exhibition by Steve Cooney The various science departments of the college are formulating plans for the annual high school science show which will be presented April 1 and 2 in Stark Science Hall. The biology, chemistry, and physics departments will each make contributions to the show, with Dr. Charles Reif, chair.man of the biology department, acting as coordinator and general chairman of the group. Exact plans of what will be presented at the show have not been released yet. One show will be given on Friday evening, .April 1, and one each on the morning and afternoon of Saturday, April 2. Student chairman of the affair, Bill Davis, has announced that the two-day program will be free to the high school students and also interested members of the student body. It is interesting to note that the science show had its beginning at a time when the college did not have adequate science facilities, but the recently constructed science hall provides perfect accomodations and atmosphere for the annual show. -and- Sam's Kosher Delicatessen Narrows Shopping Center Kingston - Edwardsville For a Snack between Meals Groceries - Dairy Food - Kosher Meats 298 So.

Prepares For Regional Parley, Mock Political Caucus �2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIAL Chaperons Hard to Find The current hassle between Student Government and the Intercollegiate Conference on Government organization promises to give the yet untested Court of Appeals its first chance at testing a Student Government decision. The case should prove interesting. We have heard arguments from people concerned with each side of the debate. We have not yet seen the full report of all action taken on the matter and realize fully that each side of the story was explained to us colored by the interests of the people who related 1he "facts." We haven't formed an opinion on the matter yet, but an interesting side-light was revealed when the issue was made public. It seems that the I.C.G. failed to provide chaperons for its recent dance, "The Merry Mixup," a prophetically apt title. Further, the reasons given for this failure to follow procedure was that the committee responsible for chaperons was unable to locate faculty members to serve in this capacity. We see here a curious thing. Certainly not every faculty member was consulted. All dances in the past have had chaperons in attendance; it is unthinkable that there should suddenly be none available. Whatever the cause for their absence, we cannot help but observe that it is a distressing sign that faculty members who will support student social affairs are so scarce, especially when nothing more is required of them than their presence. It is further distressing to note that all the chaperons who ~o so support the affairs are generally the same people. Here is the curious aspect of the case. We h~ve a certain numbe~ of really interested faculty people who will act as chaperons time after time. Further, most of these people will dress in weird costumes, read "beat" poetry, gobble watermelons and cherry pie, saw logs, and even risk life and limb playing basketball on the backs of donkeys. That's real cooperation. On the other hand, we have faculty members who have never been seen in the gymnasium except for final exams and who compound the felony by frequent and vociferous criticism of the conduct of social affairs. It may be further true that these people are really unable to attend because of other commitments, but it seems inconceivable that of nearly 90 faculty members, only about two dozen are on the "available" list. We are fully aware that employment as ':1n in~tr_uctor _in this College does not carry any obligation for social mixmg with the students. We also are aware that there are far more important matters than chaperoning social affairs, but we are told as freshmen that the marks of an educated man include more than mere academic achievement. We are told that practice of social graces is of considerable value. Wha~ puz~les us is . how w'! are to attain this well-rounded personality without seemg sufficient examples of it from those who preach it to us.

Student Leaders Comment On Fund Drive, Weekend by Jim Jackiewicz The first Student Leaders' Conference of the spring semester was held Tuesda.y evening in the College Commons. A report was presented on organizational leadership and the need for the training of future student leaders. The annual S,p ring Weekend was discussed and a number of club and dormitory representa,.. tives consented to have their respective organizations construot displays similar to those of Homecoming, should such a ,p lan be adopted. The Arnnicola and the Beacon submitted financial statements. The major topic of discussion was that of .t he College Fund Drive for the development program. A question concerning student -p articipation in the drive was raised. An informal vote was taken in favor of the students' contributing. Also various, plans for donation were brought forth and discussed. A pledge plan, such as a dollar a month for a ,p eriod of several months was suggested and voted upon favorably by the students in atitendance. A number of various announcements were made at the general discussion portion of the meeting. The King's Players To Present "Hamlet" by Steve Cooney The King's Players of King's College will present William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" on March 10, 11, and 12 at 8 p.m. in their new theater locat ed in t he new King's College Science Building. In addition to the use of the arena and proscenium stages, the "Hamlet" produc-tion will be presented on an open stage. It is expected that this three-way stage will offer greater flexibility and greater sweep, scope, and color to classical staging techniques than has ever been used in the theater. Mr. Carl E. Wagner, director of The King's Players, stated that he believes the open stage set-up as it will be used in "Hamlet" is the only one of its kind in the United States. Invitation Extended to C'n'C As a part of the continuing closer relationship of the two colleges, the King's Players have invited the Cue 'n' Curtain Club to an "Open Theater" gathering on Sunday, March 13. Several scenes from "Hamlet" will be presented to demonstrate the new open stage technique followed by a social hour and tour of the new facilities. l................................... Campus Observer ! Friday, February 26, 1960 CAMPUS PROGRESS Last Tuesday's assembly revealed plans for an athletic field, but did not mention any other future developments. Several projects are planned for the next decade : A Fine Arts Building, a new library, a new wing on Stark Hall for the graduate and research program required by RCA, new dorms to house 200 additional students, a dining hall capa:ble of serving 400 boarding students, and finally, an engineering building. • Improvements and renovations are planned for some of the buildings presently on campus. One of the few buildings on campus that is un-named is at 159 South Franklin Street, which now houses the English offices and the Beacon office. This building is scheduled to be torn down; the land will then be partially landscaped, the remaining section to be used to widen the driveway and entrance to Stark Hall. Many of the dorms are presently in the process of being painted and r epaired. TALK -TALK - TALK In a recent education class, a student happened to mention the possibility of recall concerning certain members of the Student Government. The possibility of recall, which is similar to impeachment proceedings, was mentioned in connection with the a-c tion taken by the Student Government in cutting the funds entirely from the I.C.G. No Student Government members were present in the above-mentioned education class to defend themselves. The Student Governme:rut later, after more consideration, reappropriated one-half of the funds to the I.C.G. It is important to mention here that the Court of Appeals is used to arbitrate any Student Government decision that a student may object to. PERSONAL NOTES Sal Valenti, a graduate of Wilkes, was accepted for graduate work in the Bio-Chemistry Department at the University of Pennsylvania. Shirley Bachman, Dean Ralston's secretary, was married to Michael J. Weiss, Jr., in West Pittston on February 12, 1960. OPEN DATE REQUESTS An announcement was made last week by the Student Government that the date of May 6 was open because of a cancellation. This announcem ent brought a torrent of requests from many of the various groups and clubs on campus to use this date. No organization has as yet been chosen to fill this open date. POOR ENGINEERING This past week the Manuscript was showing "Death of a Salesman" when, right after intermission, a loud crash was heard. The film was being shown in room 116 of Stark Hall, and several persons went into the hall to find the reason for the noise. Nothing could be found at that time, but after the film was completed several persons passing the Engineer exihibt noticed that the top shelf of the display had collapsed. One of the viewers commented, "No wonder Russia is ahead in the missile race!" Yours truly, The Observer I There Is An Answer by Michael Bianco and Gordon Roberts Until just a short time ago, Cyprus was an island of bloodshed and violence due to strife between the British, Turks and Greeks. Now, on the first anniversary of the signing of the London pea ce agreement, the Greek President-elect, Archbishop Makarios, and Turkish Vice-President-elect Dr. Kutchuk today issued messages of welcome to Cyprus to the force of German miners who are on a world mission with the ideological play, "Hoffnung" (Hope). In an island alive with anticipation of the coming of independence, disappointment over deadlocked negotiations, fear of renewed violence, and sharpening of the ideological struggle between Moral ReArmament and Communism, word of the coming of the MRA force of seventy-five sent on the world mission by Chancellor Adenauer has gone from town to town and village to village. Enthusia sm mounts hourly. The following statement was issued from the Archbishopric today: "Archbishop Makarios has noted with interest that the German miners sent by Chancellor Adenauer are going to Kerala, India, Japan and America at the invitation of national leaders; that on the way they will pass through Cyprus where they would be prepared to give a performance of the play, "Hoffnung". His Beatitude is aware of the distinctive role played by the miners' force in creating better understanding at the time of Chancellor Adenauer's visit to London. Having in mind the high moral objectives of Moral Re-Armament the Archbishop welcomes such a timely visit by the miners to Cyprus." In his message Kutchuk said: "I have heard with great interest of the force of German miners sent by Chancellor Adenauer who have gone to the countries of Europe with a m essage of hope and unity. Their power of reconciling countries and of giving a strong moral foundation to every nation is what Cyprus needs at .this very crucial hour in her history. I fully support the high moral purposes of the ideology of Moral Re-Armament. That is why I warmly welcome this force of German miners to Cyprus with their play, 'Hoffnung'." This visit and showing of 'Hoffnung' is a main news item on the Cyprus Radio and the talk of the island .press. A leading Cypriot Communist paper attacks the manifesto "Ideology and Co-Existence" in a series of front page articles on MRA. A guerilla leader of the EOKA revolution said, "The choice for Cyprus is Communism, r enewed bloodshed, or Moral Re-Armament.

Both men have scored over a thousand points in their college careers and in doing so set an unprecedented record at Wilkes.

Leading the Colonel matmen will be MAC champions Dick Stauffer, 130-lbs., and "Mustang Marv" Antinnes, 177-lbs. Gettysburg will counter with a well~balanced squad featuring Mike Basilio, reigning MAC heavyweight champion. The Bullets have always had a strong wrestling team and were MAC titlist until four years ago when the Colonels captured the crown. PJ,aying before a crowd of 1,100 fans, last Saturday the Colonels trimmed a -p reviously undefeated Moravian mat team, 20-10. Brooke Yeager, flashy 123-lb. Wilkesman, pinned Dick Gross in 1 :20 after having a ten-second takedown. Dick Stauffer followed with a pin in 4 :29 over Bill Rinkin who had entered the meet undefeated. Rinkin was reversed early in the second period and Dick tangled the "Greyhound" up with a split scissors hold to register the fall. Gene Medei captured Moravian's first points by out-pointing Gerard Senick, 6-2. The closest match of the evening found Joe Morgan, 147lb. Colonel co-captain, and Dan Turner ending the match with four points apiece for a draw. The Colonels returned to their winning ways when Ted Toluba decisioned Dick Bedico, 12-4. Ted led throughout the match and had a fairly easy time with the Moravian wrestler. The 167-lb. clash was the second draw of the afternoon when Glen Rittenhouse and Dave Bryant ended their bout, 10-10. Marv Antinnes continued his mastery in the 177-lb. class by decisioning Steve Edraney, 4-0. The Moravian matman seemed to take pride in the hope of not getting pinned and spent most of the afternoon on his stomach, •k eeping Marv from registering a fall. The heavyweight bout was slowmoving with Moravian's Dick Schaeffer decisioning Bo:b Sislian, 2-0.

Washington St. 18 W. Northampton St. WIZARD OF CHAWS Dr. Michelini Retains Tille Of "Cherry Pie Chompin' Champ" by Cynthia Hagley "It all started with an excess of doughnuts at a Biology Club dance." That is how Dr. Michelini explained his proficiency in all sorts of eating competition, after winning the cherry pie-eating contest at last week's "Cherry Tree Chop." He has brought home three trophies for eating the most watermelon in the Lettermen's Shoe Shine Day contest, and four trophies for the cherry pie gorging events. This makes Dr. Michelini the undisputed champion in these gargantuan endeavors. Dr. Michelini has admitted that his fondness for watermelon knows no bounds, ,but h e adds that cherry pie is not to his liking . Whether his victories were the cause of this, he did not say. With this secret out, it should ,b e easy for any future competitor to win out over Dr. Michelini. As for the start of it all, he recalls a Biology Club dance at Thanksg iving time in 1956. The refreshments were cider and doughnuts. Owing to bad weather the crowd at -the affair was quite small, leaving a, ,p lentiful supply of doughnuts that no one seemed interested in consuming. When the chaperons were approached with this ,p roblem, Dr. Michelini, as one of them, suggested a doughnut eating contest and volunteered to compete. From then on he has served religiously in any such contests. H ere may be added t hat this was the first and last eating bout that he ever lost. Dr. Francis Michelini Rumor also has it that the students will be seeing him on top of a four-legged obstinate creature tion las-t year will remember that within the next few weeks. All he wa.s the leading scorer for the those who saw him in such a posi- faculty team. Juniors Boosl Two Allraclions; Presenl Second Donkey Baskelball The Junior Class will present two outstanding events in the near future: the Donkey Basketball game and the Louis Armstrong Show. The Donkey Basketball game is an annual event, with athletes on one team and members of the faculty on the other team. This year the game will be held at the gym on March 9. A trophy will be presented to the winning t eam and to the highscoring player of the game. The faculty team, the defending champs, will consist of : Dean Ralston, Russell Picton, Bob Morris, John Reese, Dr. Francis Michelini, Richard Kutchkoff, Dr. John Ga.ito, and Francis Pinkowski. Opposing the faculty team will be the following students: Joe Morgan, Bernie Radecki, Ray Marchakitus, Frank Spudis, Marv Antinnes, Fred Williams, George Gacha, Carl Ha vira, and Al Dobrowalski. Anyone who attended the game last year will remember the excitement as the "Faculty Flashes" defeated the "Student Stars." This year's game promises to be even more exciting when the students try t o a venge their loss. Jim McCarthy, local sportscaster, will again be on hand to relate the blow by blow and the fall by fall description of the game. Dean Ralston feels confident that history will repeat itself and the faculty will be triumphant once more. He commented: "It will be a good game and the competition PIZZA will be tough, but it's a sure thing for the faculty. How could you beait a coonbination of faculty members and donkeys? The faculty can easily beat the students because of the faculty's experience, maturity, and donk ey sense which the students don't have. Students drive cars too much and don't get enough exercise. Therefore, the fa culty is in better ,p hysical condition and has more ri,gorous stamina." Advance tickets will soon be on sale for this game at the cafeteria. "Louey Day" Planned" The second outstanding event will be t he Louis Armstrong Jazz Concert. The Juniors have designated March 15 as Louey Day, the initial campaign day for this class project. Television and radio stations will publicize this affair, and students will canvass the various colleges to sell tickets for this show. Chase theater will be the publicity headquarters for the sale of tick ets. The two-hour show will take -p lace Saturday evening, April 30. The Class of '61 is also planning a Junior Weekend, which will proba,bly be h eld at the end of April. CASA Famous for Its Italian Food 24 Public Square PIZZA BAKED DAILY 11 A.M. to 12 P.M.

Contributions to the Manuscript do not exclude this type of factual writing. �Friday, February 19, 1960 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 2 EDITORIALS - Lilerary Sociely We are accustomed to criticism each week when our edition Elecls Van Dyke Praise for a Change reaches our public. Sometimes scathing, frequently chiding, often helpful, these criticisms point out to us our weaknesses and Great Books from History Subject of Discussion Groups aid us in trying to improve our newspaper. . However, last week's issue, despite a glaring typographical error in the headline of the main story, brought praise for a change, and from an unexpected source. Remarking on our page one stories on our page one stories on King's and Misericordia activities, the Times-Leader Evening News, on Monday, said in an editorial: In promoting two major activities of Misericordia and King's, the official publication of Wilkes demonstrated the good relations that exist among the three higher institu lions of learning. The development is as reassuring as it is stimulating. This is not to imply a lack of school spiriL There is plenty of that and room for team work as well, as there is no conflict between friendly rivalry and neighborliness. Each has its place. We are. pleased that the editorial writer of the local newspaper has understood our intentions so clearly. We have always felt that the insane and childish refusal to recognize the existence of neighboring colleges is folly. Most of the resentment which formerly existed, especially between Wilkes and King's, stemmed from half-remembered, fancied injuries dating back to the days of athletic competition between the two. Relations with College Misericordia have always been cordial, including the athletic relationships between the Back Mountain College and our own girls' basketball squad. We have often felt that a resumption of athletic competition between King's and Wilkes would be desirable, enjoyable, reasonably peacable, and even profitable. The debate teams compete, the Student Governments of both Colleges enjoy joint meetings and discussion groups, the Chemical Societies have particularly gra~g c0-0peration, and there is talk of the newly formed, unofficial and unaided bowling team meeting King's bowlers in match game competition. All these, ,v iewed in retrospect, may be seen as "ice-breaking" co-operation in an inevitable direction towards resumption of athletic competition. Unlikely? Perhaps, but the mind fairly reels at the possibilities of a King's-Wilkes football game for a Homecoming weekend for either or both colleges. We will continue to cherish this dream. If we can provide more evidence of friendly relations through our journalistic efforts, in addition to continuing friendly contacts in other areas, we will be quick t9 emphasize that evidence and make it public. by Steve Cooney Ned Va,n Dyke, freshman English major from the Bronx, New Y o:r.k, was elected ,p resident of the newly formed Wilkes College Literary Society at the society's organization meeting held recently in Weiss Hall. This new organization is composed of various members of the student body who are interested in reading some of the greatest books ever written. With the guidance of Dr. Davies, the club moderator, the society will formulate a list of books which its members wish to read. This list will be arranged in a chronological order beginning with the writings of Horner. Most of the books will be selected from the St. John's College "List of 100 of the Greatest Books." Society's Officers Elected to the office of vice-president at this organization meeting was Steve Schwa:r.tz. Schwartz and Van Dyke were responsible for the original formation of the organization. Meetings will be held every Sunday afternoon at 2 p.rn. in various dormitory lounges with the advisor, Dr. Davies, acting as chairman. A few other members of the Philosophy and English departments have volunteered to aid in the discussions each week, and the club has issued an open invitation to all interested faculty members to attend these discussions when ever they desire so.

There Is An Answer by Michael Bianco and Gordon Roberts LEST WE FORGET A global answer is being sought to a global problem. Recently in Kerala, India a fierce election battle took place between the Communists and the non~Cornrnunists for government control. The non-Communist fa,ction won w.ith Ma.nnath Padmanabhan elected to head the Kerala government. Mannath Padmanabhan, the man most responsible for the triumph of the democratic forces over the Communists in the South India state of Kerala, said after his election to office, "The ideas of Moral ReArmament inspi.red the victory." He urgently called for the sending to Kerala of an MRA ideological force to consolidate the victory. The 83-year old leader of the united front said in a cable to Dr. Frank Buchman, initiator of the Moral Re-Armament: "We thank God for the democratic victory, yet the results indicate the Communist fortresses have not been pierced through. Ideological clarity alone can rout the canker. We are grateful for the ideas of Moral ReArmament which inspired us to victory. MRA is needed now more than ever to answer Communism completely by demonstrating a superior ideology available to all and winning men to God-inspired democracy." By popular vote last week the people of Kerala, the former Communist-ruled state, rejected Communism and put in power a united front of democratic parties. Five months ago, after the 28-month old Communist government was removed from office by President Prasad of India, Padmanabhan, who had headed the liberation movement, brought leaders of the bitterly divided relgious and political factions to the MRA conference in Switzerland. There they found the unity and the ideological task force to Japan for an all-Japan tour. Kishi, you recall, signed a mutual defense pact with the United States and has ;received much opposition for this political-economic move. The Prime Minister would like to solidify his position against subversive elements by inviting an MRA task force to Japan at this time. Kerala and Japan will determine whether Communism advances in highly literate and religious states or falls by the wayside as an outdated ideology as it has for the present in each of these states.

The original motion was then reconsidered by the Student Government, and an amendment to that motion gave back the I.C.G. onehalf of its budget. Cinderella Ball Discussed Also discussed at the Student Government meeting was the Cinderella Ball. The date for the affair was fi xed at May 13; music will be furnished by Jack Melton and tickets will be $2. The entire faculty and administration will be invited to attend free of charge. The Spring Weekend will take Meeting with PMI Officials President -Gordon Roberts, along with Dick Barnes and Mike Armstrong, will meet this Sunday with officials of the Pocono Mountain Inn to discuss the damages caused by members of the student body at the recent Witer Carnival. The calendar committee reported .that a new synchronized calendar of all school •a ctivities has been completed and that campus organi-zations ma.y find these calendars at the Student Governmet office and at Dean Ralston's secretary's desk to consult when planning future activities. The freshman class exchanged its calendar date from May 6 to February 26. The May 6 date is now open, any interested club may send in a written ap,p lication to obtain this date. WHY USE EYE DROPS? Though drops are essential in good eye care, few people understand their value and benefits. Yet drops are often .the key to the prevention of blindness and even to the saving of the eye itself. Contrary to popular opinion, they do not cause any marked discomfort. This information comes from a prominent ophthalmologist (eye physician), Dr. William T. Hunt, Jr., Philadelphia, a member of the conservation of vision committee of The Pennsylvania Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology. • Dr. Hunt advises people to see an eye physician once a year for an eye checkup, just as they see their family doctor or dentist regularly for medical or dental attention. This is because an eye physician can often tell whether trouble is brewing, at times through using different kinds of drops. For example, a trained eye physician can detect, during the examination of the eye-grounds, the beginning of inany common diseases - long before the illness is far enough advanced to show up elsewhere in the body. He does this simply by dropping medicine called a mydriatic into the eye. This enlarges the pupil and permits the doctor to look directly at the retina to see whether diabetes, hardening of the arteries, high blood pressure, or some kidney ailments may be present. The effect of the drops lasts only a few hours and causes little or no blu.r ring of vision. Other types of drops are used to prevent or treat infection, to Wilkes College Reversible Jackets See the new Quilted Corduroy Look Both with Wilkes Lettering 2 - LEWIS-DUNCAN - 2 SPORTS CENTERS 11 E.

Sometimes the physician uses artificial tears as a wetting agent to give relief to people whose eyes are too dry. Since all drops are medicine, only a physician may use them or prescribe them for you to use. Sterility of eye drops is an important consideration. Drops are your friends. They won't hurt you. So be sure to see an eye physician to determine if you have any need for drops. Some of the symptoms might be inflammation, discharge, or persistent redness of the eye, blurred vision, halos about lights or pain in or about the eye. •Professional medical society of Pennsylvania eye, ear, nose and throat physicians.

Explains Policies I.C.G. to Attend Regional and Distant ·Conventions in Future by Steve Cooney The college chapter of the Intercollegiate Conference on Government is. making ,p reliminary plans for two conventions scheduled for the near futre. A regional convention will be held at Marywood College on March 6, to make final arrangements for the state nominating convention which will be in April. The state convention will be held in Harrisburg and this year will be geared to a mock presidential nominating assembly. Various chapters will support a candidate for the presidency. Caucuses and balloting will be employed just as in a political nominating convention, the only difference being that this will be a two-party convention. At the Marywood meeting the regional chapters will also run through a mock convention to get acquainted with the methods and various procedures. It is interesting to note that at the 1956 assembly Wilkes' delegation backed Adlai Stevenson who later won the Democratic nomination. The college group sent a telegram to Stevenson, and he later mentioned this fact, quite ha1ppily, at a political rally on Public Square. The I.C.G. club hopes to finance these convention trips by holding a candy sale for Easter. A self-ap-p ointed committee has drawn up a constitution and has submitted it to the Student Government for approval. Among the problems of the fledgling organization is the need for an advisor and ,a room in which to store equipment and hold meetings. The grourp also requires sufficient interest on the part of the student ,body. Necessity of having a radio operator's license is not a ,p rerequisite to membership in the club. 'Only an interest in radio is required. The club, when organized, plans to provide a number of services to students of the college, among which are the uniting of Wilkes with other colleges that have amateur readio stations, and the providing of free contact between the college and homes of dormitory students by means of both radio and telephone. Also included in the plans is the holding of classes in electronics and the theory and ,practice of code. Group Meets by Ralph Price . To Read!

The girls' basketball team won their first game in eight years! Eight years without a drink of water is a long time to be dry and the drink that came ,t o the scrappy bunch of Wilkes coeds will finally be entered on the record books. In checking around the college as to when the female set last did win a game, the trigger-sharp brains of the many professors were unable to come up with an answer. Mr. Reese, Director of Athletics, and Dean Ralston, former DA, could not remember when the girls had ever won a game. So there it is the first official basketball win in the history of Wilkes College in girls' intercollegiate competition. A salute is appropriate at ,t his time to the coach of the team, Miss Marita Zoolkowski, who is serving her first year as physical instructor of girls' hygiene and also her initial season as basketball mentor. Miss Zoolkowski has her charges hustling, hustling so much that they drive the varsity team off the hardwoods to hold practice sessions, and who knows with two game remaining on the schedule her coaching may lead to victories that will establish an unbeatable record at Wilkes.

Coaches Reese and Davis holding out for money as radio audience appeal increases. The Colonels made it four in a row and five in their last six games as they defeated Lycoming W ednesday, 70-61. It was the second win over the Warriors this season and raised the cagers' record to 9-9 with three games left to play. Wilkes dropped behind at the start of the game and didn't move ahead until five minutes left in the half. Wilkes led at halftime, 39-38. Lycoming pulled within two points of the Colonels at the 60-58 mark but 5 quick buckets iced the game for Wilkes. George Gacha led all scorers with 22 points on 11 field goals, 14 tallies coming in the first half. Bernie Radecki added 16 points and ,p ulled in 14 rebounds. Ron Roski chipped in with 15 markers, 9 in the first half. The basketball team enjoys a week's vacation as the men rest up for the final drive of the season starting with Drexel Institute of Technology on Wednesday. The game will be played in Philadelphia with starting time listed for 8 :30. The cagers have only two games left after the Drexel contest and play their last home game nex:t Saturday against East Stroudsburg. This will be the first meeting with the downstate team as the Colonels atld opponents in the Southern Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference. The only other southern division team the cagers meet is Dickinson. Drexel has been in a nip and tuck battle for the southern division lead with Ursinus all season. They took over .the top rung last week as they registered three victories to move into first place with a 6-2 record in conference play. However, the Dragons were beaten in their last contest by Lebanon Valley, 74-64. Wilkes dropped a 77-73 game to Lebanon Valley early ,t his season. Bob Morgan, junior guard, leads the Dragons in scoring with an 18point average per game, while junior forward, Rich Hilmer, is hitting the nets for 14.2 per game. Saturday's Results On Saturday the cagers won their third game in a row as they Lewis Leads Keglers In Win Over Penn State; Meet Bloom Sunday Dan Lewis led the bowling team in a close, 41-pin win over the Penn State Center Wednesday night at Lispi Lanes.

The match was close all the way with F&M jumping off to a 3-0 lead on Cleon Cassel's decision over previously wibeaten Brooke Yeager. Wilkes then went ahead to stay on Dick Stauffer's pin in 4:26. I Brooke Yeager scored a 96-73 victory over Elizabethtown. The game was close at various times as Elizabethtown pulled to a 36-36 tie in the first half and then came within two points, 63-61, midway in the second half but Eddie Davis' charges put on the extra drive when it was needed and the game was soon out of the hands of the boys from Elizabethtown. Bernie Radecki paced the Wilkes scorers as he threw in 24 points, 17 coming in the first half as the senior forward hit long jump shots and registered 12 of the Colonels' first 15 tallies. Guard George Gacha scored 20 points to aid the Colonel cause with most of his goals corning on drive shots. Gacha backed up Radecki's first half assault with 14 points in the initial period. Center Ron Roski was the only other Wilkes player to hit in double figures. Roski scored 19 points and was a giant off the backboards. Girard Senick then took a 5-2 decision in the 137-lb. class. Captain Joe Morgan was shut out, 5-0, but Ted Toluba came back with a 10-2 win. Freshman Glenn Rittenhouse was beaten by F&M co-captain Skiip Taylor, 10-3. Marv Antinnes posted an 11-2 victory to put Wilkes ahead in the match, 14-9. Heavyweight Bob Sislian put the finishing touches to F&M as he ,b eat Cliff McClain, 2-0, to insure the Colonel victory. Moravian Tomorrow The next opponent for the Colonel grapplers will be the Moravian "Greyhounds" tomorrow at 4 in the college gym. The Moravian wrestlers come to Wilkes with an undefeated slate in eight starts. Their latest victim was Lebanon Valley whom they defeated, 24-8. The Colonels defeated the "Flying Dutchmen", 33-3, earlier this season. The Moravian squad will feature six undefeated wrestlers with Bill Rinker, a 130-lb. sophomore, as their biggest threat. Dave Bryant, Greyhound 177-pounder, comes to Wilkes-Barre with a 7-1 record including a victory over Dave Miller of Lebanon Valley. Lycoming Meet "How beautiful is victory but how dear" can best describe the attitude of the throngs of people who watched Bob Sislian (see Athlete of the Week) put a pressure pin on Lycoming's lumbering John Wilbur and give the Wilkes wrestlers a much deserved16-11 victory over the Warrior rnatrnen of Lycoming. The tenseness of the match was carried throughout the crowd by Colonel rooters who wanted to return the "crying towel" to Lycoming and when the score was tied, 11-all, the fever had reached the breaking point going into the heavyweight bout. Big Bob Sislian, the Colonel bread-and-butter man, lost little .time in bringing the winning laurels ,to the Blue and Gold squad when he reversed Wilbur and applied a half-nelson hold for the pin and the match as the house went wild. The stage for the fabulous climax was set when the Warrior 177pounder Bob Jones edged out Bob Herman in a thrilling match. The Wilkes hopeful was wrestling in his first college meet and looms as one of the top grapplers of the Wilkes ,b right wrestling future. In another thrilling match, Dick Stauffer of Wilkes and Bill Kerig maintained their undefeated records in the 130-1:b. class by emerging with a scoreless draw. Another battle of unbeatens found Marv Antinnes, Colonel 167lb. kingpin, decisioning Ed Receski, 5-1. Marv missed making it five consecutive pins of the season by not touching Receski's shoulders to the mat. Brooke Yeager, 123-lb., and Ted Toluba, 157-1,b., were the other victorious Colonels as they won decisions over Lee Wolf, 8-5, and Pete Dutrow, 7-1. Summaries Wilkes: Lewis 204-592, Myers 201-531, Jerry Chisarick 191-519, Gozdiskowski 200-501, and Fred Jacoby 158-459.

The Pirrbusters, defeated by the Blitzkriegs, 3-1, continued their slump and slipped into a last place tie with the Flatballs. Other action saw the Kingpins cop three points from the Flatballs. Dan Lewis and Dick Myers, the mainstays of the powerful Gutterdusters,, rolled 204-581 and 233-553. John Sapiego's 190-511 performanee proved to be in vain as his Smashers went down in defeat. Mark Adelson rolled a 146-421 for the losers. Fred Jacoby and Bob Hewitt were high men for the victorious Blitzkriegs. Jacoby had a 180-494, Hewitt had a 159-457. Emil Petrasek, 235-557, welcomed a surprise 515 series from Bob Barovich, but their efforts were not enough to overcome a determined Blitzkrieg team.

Next Wednesday afternoon the Wilkes swimming team will travel to Chester, Pennsylv~flia to take on the 'Pennsylvania Milit&ry College swimmers for its final meet of the season. PM,C, like Wilkes, was defeated by Millersville. Although they won seven of the elev,e n events against Millersville, PMC was nevertheless defeated, indicating a lack of depth in its squad. Wilkes has eliminated a good deal of its lack o/ depth and stands an excellent chance to defeat PMC. The Lycoming meet of February 6 is still under protest to the Middle Atlantic Conference in Philadelphia and as yet no reply has been received as to the official decision. Lose at Home Last Saturday afternoon the team lost its second meet of the season to a strong Millersville State College team by a score of 54 to 34. The meet started off with the disqualification of both teams in the 400 yard medley relay event. Wilkee{teani captain, Carl Havira, led the scoring for the Colonels as he turned his third consecutive triple win of the season for a neat fifteen points; taking first places in the 200 yard individual medley, 200 yard butterfly, and the 200 yard breaststroke events. Art Eckhart accounted for eight points as he took first place in the fifty yard freestyle and second place in the 100 yard freestyle event. Art broke the one minute mark in the 100 yard freestyle, the first time he has turned the trick this season. .. Pat Shovlin hauled in six ·points as he took second place in both the 220 yard freestyle and the 200 yard. backstroke events. Bender accounted for two as he took third ,p lace in the 200 yard idividual ~edley and another third in the 440 freestyle.

Art Club Organized; Poster Painting Service Offered to Campus Clubs Initial plans for the organization of a campus Art Clu'b have been completed and submitted to Dean Ralston and the Student Government for final approval. For a considerable length of time, art majors have felt the lack of any organization, save Cue 'n' Curtain, to provide an outlet for artistic talent. As a result, tentative plans drawn up by Marie Realmuto and Leonard Yoblonski were seized upon by approximately twenty-five art students and put into effect. Membership in the club would be open to all students - especially art students, weekly meetings would ,be held, a workshop and field trips would ,be sponsored by the group, and exhibits would be set up. A feature of the Club which should be especially interesting to harassed publicity chairmen is the poster-making service. Members of the Club would design and paint posters which would be available to other campus organizations for a nominal cost which would cover the cost of materials. This service would not only provide a much-needed service for publicity committees, but would also provide lettering pra,ctice for art students. Therefore by organizing such a club the "Rembrandts" of the campus would :provide benefits for •b oth the college-at-large and their own group. .

Several athletes have volunteered to attempt to ride these hannless-looking ornery little donkeys. Last year the athletes proved that man was the master by amassing a score of 14 points, to go down in defeat, 18-14. Their superb donkeymanship came to the fore as they were thrown, buckedoff and dumped to the floor. They spent more time getting up from the floor than riding. • S.A.M. Hosts Speakers, • JncIUde AVia • tion, Top1cs . Insurance and Umons I At the regular weekly meeting of the Wilkes College Chapter of the Society for the Advancement of Management held last W ednesday, Mr. E. B. Stringham, District Manager of the Connecticut General Life Insurance Company, addressed the group. His topic concerned the new clauses that have come into being in life insurance and w,h at to look for when buying a policy. Mr. Stringham also spoke of the role that SAM has played in his business life. His address should prove beneficial to the total membership. On T.hursday night, February 18, the Society sojourned to the American Legion, Post 132, on North River Street. The key attraction · at -this meeting was the presence of Mr. Richard O'Donnell, process engineer at the Murray Plant in Scranton, and for several years the President of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Senior SAM Chapter. Mr. O'Donnell was not confined to any :particular ,t opic. This provided -the members the opportunity to ask as many questions as they wished concerning ,business practices, unions, and production. Seeking New Members SAM is constantly seeking new members. Anyone who feels that he or she could benefit from SAM is cordially invited to sit in at any of th e regular weekly m eetings held each Wednesday at 12:15 p.m . in Pickering, room 203 . The Society for the Advancement of Management at Wilkes is devoted to extracurricular education. Although the members fully realize that the SAM program is no substitute for classroom activity, the Galloping George Ralston and team took advantage of the situation as they dumped in point after point, when they weren't getting up, remounting, or being thrown. They piled up enough points to win easily, 18-14, over the game but often thrown athletes. The athletes vow revenge this year, and some mumbling to the effect that someone tampered with ,t heir donkeys last year. One althlete claimed his nasty steed had been fed red ,p eppers and couldn't stand still. A <tentative list of athletes who will attempt to ride the "untouchalbles" includes : Frank "Texas" Spudis, Marv "Quick-draw" Antinnes, "Panhandle" Dobrowalski, "Two Gun" Gacha, "Fighting" Fred Williams, and Carl "Waterhole" Havira. The names of the faculty team are ,b eing kept secret mainly because five faculty members who wish to commit suicide are hard to find. particpaition in SAM is felt to be supplementary to regular schooling. Keeping in direct contact with ,business and professional men supplies a greater perspective, a 1broader view, and a clearer look to the future for student members of SAM. Future Programs The Society has more of the same t ype programs planned for the near future. Several members have requested an authoritarian view regarding opportunities for employment in aviation and surrounding fields. •S uch a program will be presented. An overall view of large-scale department store operations will also be :presented by the executives and division heads of Fowler, Dick and Walker - The Boston Store. The la.tter will be presented as a series and the entire student body and guests will be invited. , •..I kept worrying about the job •••" • , Behind the wheel, , your only job is driving!

Evaluation Team Visits School,. Random Interviews of Students Wilkes College faculty and students will act as hosts to an evaluation ,t eam from the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools during the first three days of next week. The purpose of the program is to secure a constructive and objective picture of the College and to seek to discover ways and means by which the total effectiveness of the institution can be improved. The visit is the logical climax to a year and one half of effort on the part of the faculty, alumni, and students to try to asses-s the worth of the College and to discover both its strong and weak points. Our efforts will now be supplemented and strengthened by the observations and recommendations of representatives from other colleges and universities.

These educators will be here to take an objective look at the College, its policies, activities, personnel, and other factors which total up to the concept o(a college. Not a "final exam" or any other type of competition for which a relative grade is awarded, this visit will point out the areas where improvement is needed and will reveal other areas where this institution has achieved notable standing. When the evaluators approach students, they will question them about normal, routine affairs and they should be answered in a frank, but objectively truthful manner. This is not an opportunity to complain needlessly about fancied injustices, but a good chance for serious-minded students to help a group of professional educators arrive at opinions which may well turn out to be beneficial to Wilkes. Number 50,000 A milestone of sorts was reached recently in the College library when volume number 50,000 was recorded. Its appearance was unobstrusive enough as Mrs. Thom, one of the library assistants, slipped the book in under Mr. Ermel's eyes. Under the pretense that something was amiss with the machine which records each new acquisition, she was able to secure Mr. Ermel's aid. When he had stamped ,t he volume, his face lit up as he saw the string of zeroes marking the occasion. No special celebration occured, the workers just went on about their duties. Approximately 70 books each week are processed in this manner, we are pleased to see this growth. Your Yearbook in Difficulty Our sister publication, the Amnicola, is having its troubles this year. Actually, they have only one serious problem money. Their method of overcoming this deficit is simple and effective. They hope tha,t by the sale of "booster" or patron advertising, they will be able to give you what you would like to see, the best yearbook in the history of Wilkes. It's not impossible, nor is the help of ,t he staff seeks unreasonable. For one dollar, the patron's name is listed in the patron section. Special five dollar patron ads will also be taken. Organizations are asked to take ads as a sort of "thank you" for their places in the yearbook. This is not to be construed as "payola" to the Amnicola. Rather, it should be seen as a good chance for campus groups to come ,t o the aid of another; especially one whose finished product is a lasting memento of college days. The School Spirit Committee is taking active part in soliciting these ads. Your ad will be taken by Doris Gademan or Jim Stephens, or by any member of the committee. Anniversary Wishes The unofficial School of Journalism for our Beacon staff is located in the heart of town, at Schmidt's Printery. The proprietor of the establishment, Stanley E.

There Is An Answer by Michael Bianco and Gordon Roberts Khrushchev is trying to bluff Ameri ca and the fr ee world into co-existence with the threat of nuclear war. Recentl y the Soviet head denounced the stand taken by Chancellor Konrad Adenauer on coexistence, German unification, and West German nuclea.r r e-armament. Adenauer was smeared because he is the number one en emy of the Communists and clea.r ly sees the issues facin g \.Vest ern Germany and the free world today. The Communists attempted to create a crisis situation by plac.ing extreme pressure upon the West to r ecognize the East German governm ent and to unify Germany under quasi-Soviet t erm s. To this end, the Communist underground inspired a,n ti-S emitic demonstrations in several West German cities . The whole strategy was to arouse resentment against Adenauer and his gover nment, thereby threatening stabilit y both within and outside of Western Germany. More re cently, Khru shchev called Aden:1uer "another Hitler," an aggressor a nd a foe of pea ceful co-existence . Khru shchev went on to say tha t the Chan cellor was a tyrant and a man who, if un chec,ked, will become another dictator just like Hitler . Khrushchev fails to see that the Communist drive for power is more t yranni cal and di ctatorial than the worst shades of Hitler's era. It is no accid ent that the Communist Party has made Adenauer t he ta r get of their attack, nor is it an accident that 200,000 magazines and newspapers are distributed three times a month in W estern German y by the Soviet Embassy. Th e Central Intelligence Agency reported that the East German government spends close to twenty million dollars per year on Communis,t propaganda. This divisive propa ganda is sent to West Germany in the form of magazines, newspapers, radio and t elevision broadcasts. East German tel evision stations have "adopted" the same channel as the West German stations so that viewers in the West receive East German transmissions. By 1964, forty-four more transmitters will be built to advance the range of the East German broadcasts. The Communists know they have a free hand because they jam our broadcasts while we allow their programs to pass freely to the West. Adenauer is the bulwark that Communists are striving to destroy. He had ideological clarity which is the r eal force against the s,p read of Communist ideals. Chancellor Adenauer said in the New York Journal-American recently: "Moral Re-Armament has given most valuable stimulation to uniting Europe. Unless this work (MRA) is carried forward, peace in the world cannot be maintained. MRA has become a household word in .post-war Germany." Chancellor Konrad Adenauer needs the support of the United States and the free world - the defense of Western Europe is at stake. For the Communists have an ideological commitment - world domination . Unfortunately the West is still groping for one. If you do not believe me you might heed the words of Admiral Seaton and Admiral Standley, former Chief of Naval Operations and the United States Ambassador to Moscow: "The choice for America is Moral R-Armament of Communism." �Friday, February 12, 1960 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Lockerroom Chatter by RAY Y ANCHUS, Sports Editor Wilkes College basketball fans a re seeing an unprecedented record being established this season on the local hardwoods. For the first time in the annals of Wilkes basketball there will be two players finishing t he season and th eir career s with more than 1 000 in t h eir kitties. Guard George Gacha, an outstanding performer for th e Colonels for four years, became the third player to turn th e trick when h e registered his 1,000 point in th e Dickinso n game last month. Gacha now stands at a total of 1163 tallies for his career. He s tarted the season with 881 in the till a nd has scored 282 t o ela t e in t he 1959-60 campaign. The other player in line to join th e ranks of the record book makers is Bernie Radecki, 6' 2" forward from Ashl ey . Radecki has accumulated a total of 9817 points over his four-year stint on the cager squad, needing only 13 more to -p ut him into the sele~t group. Tomorrow night very well could be th e time when a new re cord is made at W-i lkes as the basketball team pla ys Elizabethtown. Rade ~ki has been put on the draft list of th e Eastern Professional Leagu e and ha.s received letters from several teams in the league, the last being from the Wilkes-Barre Barons who are claiming him as a territorial draft choice. By the ·way, the two other .p layers to score over a 1,000 points in their Wilkes careers were Len Batroney who holds th e all-tim e record with 1690 and George Morgan who turned the tri ck in three years to finish around the 1,100 mark. Basketball never knew better days at the college than the enthusiasm accorded the t eam by the local crowd during the las t two home games. During th e Lafayette game the entire gym actually rose as a body and scream ed wildly as the home team ti ed the mighty Leopards, 40-40. Ah, sweet music! Th en to prove that this outburst was not a fr eak occurence a throng of senior boys led by the one and only Dick Salus showed up at the S cranton game with bells and a big bass drum. The spirit of this group seemed to spread to the confines of the entire gym and th e place was throbbing throughout the evening . Who sa.id that spirit was dead at Wilkes? The persons most pleased with the add ed sp irit s hown in the past week, -i f you care to ask them, are th e playe rs themselves. Call it what you like - psychological eff ect, playing for the grandstand, or school spirit - but the team, or any team for that matter, seems to fun:tion better when they kno w that th e peopl e present are interested, trul y concerned with the final outcom e. Defeat at a time like this seems to han g a 1,000 tim es heavier a nd no one wishes to avoid this situation more than th e players or· participants who are the center of attraction . To th e victors belong the spoils, the teams want the spoils just as the fans do and the s-p oils come a lot Jaster and ea:!ier when there is cooperation. Remember that word - COO PE-RA TI-ON! It may hold th e key to the future sports at this college. Swimmers, Matmen, Cagers See Action at Home Saturday Mermen Meet MSC; Suffer Loss at ESSC, Protest Lycoming 'Win' by Donald B. Hancock The swimming team begins a full day of sports activity for Wilkes tomorrow when they meet Millersvill e State Coll ege at 2 p.m. at the YMCA ,pool. Millersville sports an early season victory over Lycoming and as a result of the splashers' close match with the Warriors last Saturday th ere is an indi·cation of s!tiff competition in tomorrow's dual. Last Wednesday the Wilkes swimming team lost its opening m eet of the season to an overpowering East Stroudsburg State College team by a score of 61 to 32 in the vicitors' pool. The rnermen's efforts to give Coach Pinkowski a victory in their first m eet under him were thwarted by th e stron g East Stroudsburg team. Carl "Ironman" Havira, the only t ripl e winner of the day, turned in the outstanding p erformance of the meet as he took first place in th e 200 yard in.clividual m edley, 200 yard butterfly, and the 200 yard br eaststroke events. Art Eckharit accounted for six .points as he captured second places in the 50 and the 100 yard freestyle events. Shovlin and Bender ha,uled in four points a s t hey took second and third places r espectiv ely in the 220 yard freesty le. Gerry Mohn aocounted for three additional i:; oints for W·i lkes as h e took second place in diving. Pat Shovlin took third in the 200 yard bac,kstroke and in the next event, t he 440 yard freest yle Bender took second to gain three more poi nts for Wilkes . Defeat Lycoming Saturday the Wilkes swimming team traveled to William sport and there defeated .th e Warriors of Lycoming College in a meet, th e r esults of which are being protested by Wilkes to th e Middle Atlantic Conference. The protest arose with the disqualification of both teams in the 400 yard freestyl e relay and the official's decision to have the event s,va-m again. The Colonels swam the event again a.nd lost it. However, a1:> far as 'Wilkes is concerned, it won the meet by a score of 44 to 39, prote&.ting the last relay. Again, "Hummer" Havira was the outstanding performer of the day as he hauled in fift een points through his efforts . Pat Shovlin and Art Eckhart a,ccounted for six points each; Gerry Mohn, five; Bender and Rolfe, four each; Hungartner, two; and Lesiuk and Donn, one point each.

The Lycoming Warriors com e to Wilkes with an unblemished record and an urge to "clump" the defending MAC champions. They are led by 137-l b. Harry Romig, outstanding wrestler in last year's MAC ,t ournament, who returns to action for tthe first time this season. Bob Pak, MAC champ at 147 lbs., is lost to the school for the remaining ,p art of the season because of academic diffi culties. The F&M squad features 123-lb. co-captain, Cleon Cassel who is undefeated this season in seven matches and 147-lb. gra,ppler Neil , DeLoz.ier who has compiled a 6-1 record season. The squad has a five win, two loss record with impressive vicltories over Harvard, Princeton, and VM I. Their losses have been to S:pringfield College and Syracuse University. Hofstra, is the only common foe on the Lycoming schedule and the Warriors ran roughshod over the Hofstra matmen, 28-7. F&M and Wilkes have no common fo e but as usual, both •n~akhes sho uld real~ !y be the top wrestling mrutches of th e year. I Blitzkriegs in First; Lewis Leads Parade Of High Games with 611 by John Nork The Smashers' short-lived stand in first place end ed Sunday night as they went in def eat, 3-1, at the hands of th e Blitzkriegs . The victory put the Blitzkriegs into first place, and put the Smashers into a second place tie with the Gutterduster s. T he Pinbusters started .their road to revenge after suffering a humiliating clean sweep defeat a week ago. They took 3 points from the King.pins. Other a ction saw the Gutterclusters and Fla,.tballs in an ev,e n split, 2-2. The second half must have some added charm attached to it because there are so.me interesting scores being turned out. Bill Watkins is a fine example with his 224-551 for his victorious Blitzkriegs. Fred Jacoby, 192-522, was second high for his team. John Sapiego was high man for the losing Smashers with a 192-527. Aid in va,in was given by Mark Adelson, 168-449. The last place Kingpins saw their duo from Nanticoke, Adam Gajewski and Jerry Kul esa, roll a 194482, 179-449, respectively.

BASKETBALL CIIXXIIIIIIXIXXXillliiil by Thomas Evans Action reached a fever pitch this W<'-ek in intramural basketball as the Rowdies strengthened their hold on the top spot in the National League, while the American loop was thrown into a practical fourway tie by the defeat of Gore Hall. A good team effort led the Kookies to an upset win over Gore Hall, 54-42. Sharp inside shooting by Frank Smith who was high scorer with 20, aided by the fine playmaking of Walt Ciolek and Tom Evans were featured by the Kookies. Lou Davis led Gore Hall in rebounding a.n d scoring with 18 points. Barre Hall moved into a tie for first place by winning two games. On Tuesday they squeezed past Warner Hall, 42-35.

The Three Outstanding Young Men honored were Dr. Paul L. Carmichael, an opthalmologist from Lansdale; Thomas J. Horan, a standards engineer from Philade1phia; and Frank B. Palmer, a redio-television manager from Altoona. A delegation of Greater WilkesBarre Jaycees submitted a bid for the October Pennsylvania Jaycee Board Meeting in Wilkes-Barre. Among the d e I e g a t e s from Wilkes-Barre was William Zdancewicz, public relations director of Wilkes College. Representing the Wilkes College division were Richard Salus, •p resident; John Mattey, James Stephens, and Ira Himmel. Also at the Sunday morning meeting, various district chairmen were appointed. Albert G. Albert was named chairman of area six covering Northeastern Pennsylvania. -------- ~ , ,C • A bl Cue n urta1n ssem Y To Include "Winterset", "Born yesterday" Scenes by Lynne Doyle Cue 'n' Curtain, for their assembly program on March 1, are busily rehearsing for the occasion.

Other important items on the agenda were the bake sale held Saturday at Pomeroy's and the bake sale to be held March 15 at the Gas Company, North Main Street. Claire Handler, chairman of SaJturday's bake sale reported that it was a financial success. A note of thanks was extended to the Women of Wilkes, who graciously aided in the project, and to the manager of Pomeroy's. Since funds are still needed to replenish the club treasury another bake sale will ,b e held March 15 at the Gas Company. Jane Neddoff, chairman of the affair, announced that cooperation from all members will be needed to make this affair a success. Since the baked goods will be concocted at the Company, preparation will be required in measuring ingredients, baking and selling the cookies. Although TDR enrollment figures include a large percentage of Wilkes coeds, attendance at monthly meetings is poor. Beverly Ann Butler, president of the sorority, asked for suggestions which might remedy the situation. The result of discussion was that the nex,t meeting will be held at the Commons. Members are urged to ACTIVELY ,p articipate in sorority Eyeglass Drive Ends; College and Community Cooperate in Campaign by Steve Cooney Today is the final day of the S-econd Annual "New Eyes for the Needy" campaign sponsored by the Economics Club.

He a rt Fund Dance To Be He Id Tomorrow The four "drum-beaters" will literally do just that, taking with them drums, bugles, hats and other ,p araphernalia in an effort to sell the virtues of the Wyoming Valley to the delegates. The Altoona meeting, in addition to settling the issue of the 1961 convention site, has been called to honor the State's ten "Outstanding Young Men." Accompanying the Wilkes representatives will be local Jaycee executives Hugh Carr, George Russett, Len Mulcahy, Al Alberts and Bill Zdancewicz. They also will have in their possession materials publicizing the city and the valley. Campaigning for the securing of the convention will be taking place all day today and tomorrow. Pressing hard for their cities will be delegates from Pittsburgh, Scranton and Reading. Early indications are that the real competition to Wilkes-Barre will come from Scranton and! Pittsburgh. When the last convention was held at Scranton, delegates report that they had the time of their lives. The former "Smoky City" has undergone a great transformation in recent years and its businessmen are offering the attractions of the new "Golden Triangle" as bait to the delegates at Altoona when they vote tomorrow night.

They have received national recognition for their "firsit" as well as for their activities.

While we realize that such recommendations are not binding upon next year's governing body, we feel that sober thought between now and then may reveal to the opponents of the measure that the demise of the Carnival has been a long time coming. Each year the behavior of just a few succeeds in creating animosity where only good will should exist. The College has taken 27 years to build up that good will; it is inexcusable to allow it to be destroyed in one day. Further, it is regrettable that the trite cliche that "it only takes one rotten apple" must be resurrected, but this excuse can no longer be considered valid. We know that the inconsiderae ones may be few in number, but the outsider only sees one thing - disorderly conduct. No line is drawn between individual and group; what one does is considered to be a reflection on the whole. Next year's governors would do well to take this recommendation under advisement and give it most careful consideration before taking action. More is at stake than a good time. English, German Cultures Stressed Al British, Austrian Summer Schools Four British and two Austrian summer schools are offering American students six weeks of liberal arts study this July and August. Applications may be obtained by writing to: Institute of International Education 1 East 67th Street New York 21, New York Applications to the British Summer School programs must be received before March 1 for scholarships, and March 31 for admission applications. Austrian scholarship requests must be returned by March 1, admission applicaitons by May 1. British Program Under the British University Summer Schools program, students can apply for study at one of four schools, each concentrating on a particular subject and period. At Stratford-on-Avon the subject will ·be Elizabethan drama; at the University of London the course will be the study of English literature, art and music of the 17th and 18th centuries using materials preserved in London's buildings, galleries and records; at Oxford the subject will be English history, literature and the arts from 1870 to the present. The theme of the Edinburgh School will be the political and economic history, philosophy and literature of Britan from 1559 to 1789. Although the courses are designed for graduate students, undergraduates in their last two years at a university will be considered. The Summer School fees, including full room, board and tuition, range between L8O-L90 (approximately $245-254). A few scholarships which partially cover univer- sity fees of well-qualified undergraduate students and a few full scholarships to graduate students are available. Austrian Program Both Austrian summer schools include in their programs the opportunity to attend performances at Salz,b urg's famed music festival. The Salzburg Summer School, sponsored by the Austro-American Society, emphasizes German language study, but courses in art and music and on foreign policy are taught in English. Also included, in addition to attendance at the music festival, are a variety of conducted tours of Salzburg. The fee for the entire program is $190, with an optional three-day trip to Vienna costing $25. Applicants must be between the ages of 18 and 40, and must have completed at least one year of college wo1°k. A few full scholarships are available. The university of Vienna, offering summer courses at its St. Wolfgang Campus near Salzburg, combines study with outdoor Ii.re at a mountain lake. Its aim is to enable .l!;nglish-speaking students to become acquainted with Austrian educational arid social values. Courses being offered include German language, law and political science, education, arts and history. Students who have completed at least two years of college are eligible .to apply for either a three or sixweek program. The fee for the full six-week program, including tuition, maintenance, tours and excursions, and attendance at the Salzburg Festival is $250, with an optional four-day trip to Vienna costing $30. A few scholarships covering partial or full fees are available to six-week students. WHAT . . . WHERE . . . WHEN ... Bible Study Group - Bookstore Lounge, Today, Noon.

Finnegan Memorial Fellowship Fund Awards. The Fund has been founded by the Pennsylvania Democratic State Committee in honor of James A. Finnegan, a prominent figure in state and national politics who died in 1958. The winner or winners of the competition will serve a six weeks internship in a suitable government or political office during the period from June to December of 1960. The exact dates will be mutually agreed upon by the awardee and the Trustees of the Fund. During his internship the winner will receive a weekly stipend of one hundred dollars. Any Pennsylvania student enrolled in any accredited college or university or any non-resident student enrolled in any accredited Pennsylvania college or university who is interested in pursuing a political or government career is eligible to enter. Those interested may fill out an application. The awards will be based on academic background, active pa.rticipation in extracurricular a c t i v i ti e s and demonstrated aptitude for a career in government or politics. The decision of the judges will be final. The last day for filing an application will be March 1, 1960. Application forms may be obtained by writing to: James A. Finnegan Memorial Fellowship Fund 510 North Third Street Harrisburg, Pennsylvania Wilkes-Barre Kiwanis Club has offered to sponsor Cue 'n' Curtain if they will perform a musical at the Irem Temple. The offer was taken to a vote by members of the club who voted, with one exception, unanimously to accept the offer. Cue 'n' Curtain has submitted the offer to the administration for approval. At a later meeting, however, a compromise appeared to solve the question of having another musical. It was finally decided that the dramatists would make the attempt ... but not until September. The plan seems to be that casting will be done at the end of the Spring semester and that rehearsals will go through the Summer, possibly at one of the Pocono Mountain summer stock theaters, where profess.ionals abound and much practical experience can be gained. The Observer hopes that the financial problems to cast members will be overcome easily. Otherwise, it looks like an excellent idea. Collegians Present Concert February 15 At First Presbyterian by Gloria Zaludek The Collegians will present two full concerts - one on February 15 at the First Presbyterian Church, the other on February 24 at the First Reformed Church of WilkesBarre. They will also perform at Exeter High School on Lincoln's Birthday, and on Friday evening, February 19, will entertain at the Westmoreland Club for the Peabody Award Dinner of the Wilkes-Barre AdvertisingClub. At the present, members of the male chorus are rehearsing selections from "Oklahoma," and Bali Hai from "South Pacific," which they will present at their assembly program on March 15. The program will open with "Gloria in Excelsis" from Mozart's twelfth Mass. One feature of the assembly will be the introduction of the student who will become the conductor of the Collegians for the next two years. Another innovation will be the use of two pianos, which will be played simultaneously by accompanists Tom Hrynkiw and Walter Umla. While touring southern New York state on April 1, the Collegians will sing in the Oxford, Norwich, and Greene High Schools. The male chorus, combined with the Women's Chorus, will enter the annual Eistedfodd competition in Edwardsville on March 12. They will compete against other outstanding local choruses. This year the choral group has selected "Glory of the Lord" from Handel's "The Messiah." Last year the combined groups won accolades for their first prize performance. By early spring, the Collegians, under the direction of Bill Peters, plan to make a recording which will be sold on campus. The songs to be recorded will be chosen from their standard repertoire. Campus Observer C'n'C MUSICAL ABSENT-MINDED PROFESSOR The Observer wasn't alone in noticing a glaring misfortune in the progress of final exams. Over a hundred bitterly disappointed students had to leave the gym when their instructor failed to show up with their exam. It seems that the "absent-minded professor" stereotype still exists, for the prof got his calendar mixed up, thinking he had the exam on Wednesday. While at first blush this would seem to be a huge faux pas, later reflection seems to have accepted the incident as just another one of those things. The Observer extends his deepest sympathy to those poor people who spent the whole night cramming for the final that never was. CARNIVAL A "SMASHING" SUCCESS Did you observe the incident at Pocono Mountain Inn during the recent Winter Carnival? One of the students, anti-rock 'n' roll, no doubt, managed somehow to get his fist through the glass of the jukebox. Could it have been an accident? Was it done in anger? Or did old John Barleycorn have some influence on his actions? At any rate, it's a good way to insure having the "No Vacancy" sign hung out whenever Wilkes is in town again. THE BOSS'S NEIGHBORS Beacon boss Dick Myers and his bride of one month have new neighbors since John Wozniak and Grace Schneider got married last Thursday and moved in next door. John was formerly dorm proctor at Warner Hall, Grace a resident of Sterling Hall. May all their problems be as simple. The Observer hopes they both like cats, as the Editor has an animal in his apartment that thinks it is the landlord of that property.

Coach John Reese's matmen registered five falls while overpowering the game, but outclassed Warriors. Brooke Yeager started the Colonels on the victory path by pinning Gleason in 8:25. Brooke was ahead 10-4 when he got the Stroudsburg wrestler in a "cradle" hold to score five points for the Blue and Gold matmen. Some unorthodox leg wrestling was the feature of the 130-lb. class when Dick Stauffer registred an 8-2 decision over Woods. The home team registered its lone victory of the day when Al Deibler scored a fall in 8 :50 over Girard Senick. Senick suffered a leg injury during the bout and couldn't overcome the physical handicap. Mike Armstrong's 3-0 victory over Jones was one of the outstanding bouts of the match. Mike reversed Jones in the third period and rode him to score the victory. The 157-lb. class bout found Ted Toluba back in top form as he pinned Zarbatany in 7 minutes. The effects of the shoulder injury which has slowed down Ted seem to be past and the Colonel grappler is ready for heavy action. The closest bout found Glen Rittenhouse emerging victorious over Lawrence. The big 167-lb. gridder used two escapes and a takedown to register a 4-3 win. Marv Antinnes continued the Colonel romp by making short order of "Bucko" Williams. Marv used a half-nelson to register a fall in 1 :04. Bob Sislian closed the match with a very imp.ressive 8:40 fall over Wilgard. The Colonel heavyweight was leading at the time of the fall, 4-1. Last week-end the Colonel grapplers traveled to West Point where they engaged the Plebes and Cadet J.V.'s in exhibition matches. Although no results were kept, the Colonels scored more victories over the Cadets than they had reverses. Marv Antinnes again shone for the Colonels. This week-end the matmen will again take the exhibition trail when they engage the U. of Pennsylvania's grapplers in an exhibition match at Philadelphia. A long time between matches made these exhibitions a "must" as the Colonels get ready to defend their winning skein against a tough Lycoming College squad. ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Bernie Kosch Scores Heavily, Plays Big Role in Upset Win by John Nork Towering 6 ft. - 6 in., 210-lb. Bernie Kosch receives this week's Athl:te Awar~ for _his sparkling performances in the past week. Sconng 5 l pomts m three games, Kosch turned in some of his best performances of his college career. Normally an average performer, Kosch suddenly burst forth with a surge of shooting accuracy, enabling him to score 22 points against Scranton, 20 points against Bernie Kosch Rider, and nine points against Lafayette. Although defeat was in the making for Wilkes against Scranton Kosch drove on, keeping the team'~ morale high by never giving up. An interesting point concerning this game is that he started the evening on the bench. Called in to do a job, he <lid it to the best of his ability. Rider College saw Kosch combine shooting accuracy with good board action as he hit the net for 20 points, 11 of this total coming in the first half. He also was responsible for a good number of rebounds that evening. Although his game against Lafayette was not as rewarding as his previous two, scorewise, he continued his successful feats as an all-around player. Kosch, a mild-mannered senior political science major from Nanticoke, has intentions of attending gr a d u ate school after leaving Wilkes. He shows signs of repeating again and again his scintillating performances on the court as the season progresses and should be an important factor in Coach Eddie Davis' future plans.

Waahlngton SL Smashers Gain Summit In Forcing Pinbusters' Decline and Fall Marshall Brooks and John Sapiego teamed up to lead the Smashers to a stunning upset victory over the Pinbusters in Sunday's intramural Coed Bowling League. The 4-0 win in the first night of action in the second half gave the Smashers a first place slot while pushing the mighty Pinbusters into the cellar. The Smashers had spent most of the first half in last place, while the Pinbusters enjoyed the league lead most of the season. In other action, Dick Myers led ,t he Gutterdusters to a 3-1 win over the Kingpins with 209-550. Adam Gajewski was high man for the losers on 202-552. Also 3-1 winners, the Blitzkriegs tied for second place with the Gutterdusters as Fred Jacoby was top man in the win with 194-515. Jerry Chisarick led the Flatballs on 190522. Taking over the lead, the Smashers had a balanced attack, with all five men in the high 400's. Besides Brooks' 186-499 and Sapiego's 197493, Bernie Radecki contributed 471, Mark Adelson 463, and Andy Benoska 459, including a game of 190. Emil Petrasek, 193-533, and Bob Barovich, 175-515, were top men for the Pinbusters, who start the second half in an unaccustomed last place spot. Half Ends April 8 The second half will end on April 8. Whichever team is then in first place will meet the Pinbusters for the championship. of the Coed Lea,gue. The loser in the postseason playoff will receive second place trophies. Should the Pinbusters repeat in first place, then the second place team for the second half will meet the Gutterdusters for the runnerup trophies. Should the Pinbusters and Gutterdusters finish one-two again, each will receive the proper trophies and no playoff will be necessary. The league tentatively plans a handicap tournament for the final two or three weeks of the year.

The Johns Hopkins Tournament attracts some of the nation's top debating teams. Wilkes teams have compiled a very impressive record in ,this event and have one of the highest averages of all the teams which have competed. In 1955 Wilkes won the tournament hy defeating Princeton in the final round. That year Wilkes was unbeaten and had seven wins. In 1954, 1956, and 1957, Wilkes debaters placed third with 5-1 records each time. This year the team of Feinstein and Riofski will debate six rounds, three affirmative and three negative. After the second round competition gets rougher because winners are ,p itted against winners and losers against losers. Following this event the Wilkes debaters will participate in a tournament sponsored by King's College. This is a four-man tournament and Wilkes will be represented by Barry O'Connell, Brent O'Connell, Jerry Krasa, and Francis Riofski. This will take place next Saturday.

The dates for the films have al.so been set up by the executive council of the Manuscript Association. The films for this season's showing have been selected for their educational and entertaining aspects. Dates for the films are February 19, March 3, March 18, and April 8. The particular film to be shown on a certain date will be announced in the Beacon the week previous and posted on all bulletin boards. Birth of A Nation is a silent film made in the early twenties. It is an epic in film-making and an essential part in all .p rograms designed to demonstrate the history of .t he film industry. The camera and story techniques are far in advance of other films made at the time. Three other films to be shown are: Death of a Salesman, from the Broadway hit by Arthur Miller with Frederic March in the leading role; Cyrano de Bergerac, starring Jose Ferrer and based on the drama by Edmond Rostand; and finally, The Wild One, a film that started Marlon Brando on the road to film success. Season tickets are priced at $2.00 and can be purchased from any member of the film society. At some future time, a ticket sale will be held in the cafeteria. Nesbitt Nurses Hold Dance, Issue Invitation to Wilkes Mr. Chapline, in his second year as a member of the faculty, has prepared a varied four-part program. Firat, he will play a series of four solos for the lute. This music daites back to the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries when the lute enjoyed its greatest popularity before the invention of the harpsichord. The lute is similar to a guitar in design and was aotually a forerunner of the latter instrument. Mr. Chapline plays a bass lute consisting of eighteen strings. For the second part of the program, Mr. Chapline will sing four love songs, each in a different language, English, Italian, French and German. The third part will include five vocal selections based on the contemporary writings of Fletcher and Hausmann which were put to music. In the last part of the program, Mr. Chapline will present five ballads native to the Hebrides Islands, where he lived for six months. This mu,sic will be sung in the traditional Gaelic and old English language. Mr. Cha-p line is a native of Philadelphia. His musical background includes a degree from the Juilliard School of Music and piano study with Leo Ornstein of Philadelphia. Mr. Ornstein was a former instructor of Mrs. Eleanor Farley. Mr. Chapline also spent two yea11s of study in Europe upon receiving a fellowship from the Fulbright Foundation. He presented concerts in Germany, Denmark, Austria, Belgium, and other countries of northern and eastern Europe. He took part in the recent television series, "Omnibus," when he .p articipated in a program with Leonard Bernstein, impressario and conductor of the New York Philharmonic. Mr. Chapline is also pictured with a singing group in Mr. Bernstein's recently published book, "The Sound of Music." In addition to his teaching duties, Mr. Chapline directs the Madrigal Singers and the Mixed Chorus. He is soloist at the First Presbyterian Church in Wilkes-Barre. He is an active member of the English Country Dance and Folk Song Society, and the Country Dance Society of America. Sunday's program is as follows : Lute Solos .. Dalzo Pavava alla Ferraese ...
