Club THE NATIONAL FOUNDATION Vol. XXIV, No. 14 WILKES COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA Econ. Club Aids Needy; Plans Stock Purchase by Gloria Zaludek Members of the Economics Club are sponsoring a "New Eyes For the Needy" campaign which will last throughout January and February. The idea is to collect all types o:e used eyeglasses including sunglasses and frames, regardless of their condition. These glasses will then be sent to the "New Eyes For the Needy" organization in Shorthills, New Jersey, where they will be repaired, reground and donated to needy individuals. Last year over three thousand pairs of glasses were collected, a total which the club has set as its goal for this year's campaign. Chairman Joseph Durishan stated that interested students may deposit their used glasses in the variour boxes located on campus. The club is receiving off-campus publicity from area newspapers, and TV and radio stations in connection with a telephone answering service. Various organizations, such as the Girl Scouts, have also offered their support. Investing Committee Sixteen members of the Econ Clu1b have formed a stock committee which wiU investig:ate individual stocks, record the findings, and by next semester will be prepared to offer recommendations for the purchase of stock. The club has an estimated $6700 for this purpose. An interest in stocks prompted the club's field trip to New York on Friday, January 8. Thirty-five members, with chaperon John Hotson of the Commerce and Finance Department, left via, Martz Lines at 5:30 a.m. Upon arrival in New York they toured the Stock Exchange, the Federal Reserve Bank, RCA, and the NBC studios. Bill Morris was chairman of the affair. A bake sale is planned for the near future. Wilkes Jaycees Plan for Spring; To Give Awards by Marilyn Krackenfels The big event on the Wilkes College Jaycees' second semester agenda is "Bob Clark Day," scheduled for early spring. The affair, honoring Mr. Bob Cla1·k, president of the United States Junior Chamber of Commerce, will include a dinner at the Hotel Sterling to which all Jaycee chapters in the surrounding counties will be invited. Special guests, in addition to Mr. Clark, will be Mr. Harry Light, president of the Pennsylvania Junior Chamber of Commerce, and Mr. George Russett, Wilkes-Barre Jaycees head. A committee of three, consisting of John Mattey, Frank Steck, and Jim Morgan, is presently making plans for the day. A wards Banquet Another project in which the Wilkes Jaycees is participating is the Distinguished Services Award Banquet, being held by the Greater Wilkes-Barre Junior Chamber of Commerce. Frank Steck is cochairman of the affair, which centers around the honoring of the young man selected as outstanding in the Valley. In choosing this person, applications are sent to the local employers and social organizations who submit names of members of their organizations whom they deem worthy of the award. The nominations are limited to men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-five, and- the final selection is made by a panel of three judges, whose names are well known in the community. Appeal to H. S.

The Jaycees hope to engage a prominent local speaker but the choice has not yet been made. ment recently expressed their views on student values and current issues at a meeting of the Men's Organization of the First Presbyterian Church. The issues discussed were: VicePresident Richard M. Nixon's role in the settlement of the steel strike, Communist Russia's interpretation of "Co-Existence," religious influence on college life, and student integrity. Student Government president Gordon E. Roberts was asked to discuss the role and function of the Student Government at Wilkes. He explained its purpose, its advisory capacity to the administration, and by Mary Frances Barone Members of the Student Govern- its meaning to the student body.

Representatives from Wilkes will also attend the Middle Atlantic Model General Assembly later in the spring. by Wayne Thomas The Northeastern District Student Pennsylvania State Education Association met last Saturday morning at 10:30 in the College Commons. Plans for the revision of the District PSEA constitution were discussed. The revision would concern the election of members and which members would be allowed to vote at the meetings. It was decided that each representative present would take a copy of the constitution to his respective chapter and ask for suggestions. These sug.g estions· would then be taken back to the next meeting of the Student PSEA which will :be held on February 27 in the Commons at 10:30 a,m.

With the last day of classes upon us, we suddenly realize that the day of reckoning is at hand. Editorially speaking, we find that we have very little to say, as usual, and plenty of space to say it in. Thoughts of the coming final exams have pushed all issues to the farthest comers of a cluttered mind. We take this opportunity, therefore, to clear the Editor's notebook of little items we never took the time to express previously. IIIIXIIIXIIIIXXIXXXIXIXX On Finals "How come," one of our fledgling frosh reporters how-come'd this week. "we hafta sit for three hours in folding chairs, balancing lapboards to take exams?" From our lofty Olympian heights we condescendingly explained that this is policy, was adopted several years ago and worked well, puts all the eggs in one basket, provides for better supervision and frees all classrooms for such improbable things as renovations, meetings, or other worthwhile endeavors. To his anguished lament that such herding of students under such uncomfortable conditions was cruel, inhuman torture, we could only agree. "Perhaps," we perhaps'd, "future years will show a reversal of this policy. Scheduling obstacles for classrooms can be hurdled and humanitarian officials will provide lounge chairs and secretaries for the harried examinees." We didn't really believe that, though. We consoled the poor lad with the thought that if conditions do change at all, they will probably get worse. · On Advertising This week's issue brings up a matter we had intended to mention earlier, the Beacon's student rates for advertising. The Student Government, in a laudable attempt to see a better and saner Winter Carnival, has bought an ad in the paper for the dual purpose of encouraging maximum student participation and trying to head off a repeat performance of objectionable behavior. Any organization or individual on campus may make use of this service of the Beacon at reduced rates. Local advertisers pay one dollar per column inch for their ads, students who wish to advertise their activities may do so at 60 cents per column inch. Naturally, the newspaper will do all in its power to see that every activity gets adequate coverage. but there is a great difference between publicity and advertising. In nearly every case, publicity is limited by fairly standard journalistic practices. Stories must be written in a general framework conforming to these practices. Advertising, on the other hand, frees the publicity chairman from the restrictions of journalistic "who, what, where, when and why" statements and enables him to plead for support or publicize his affair with no more restrictions than those imposed by common sense and good taste. For further information, drop a line to the Editor via the Beacon mailbox, basement, Chase Hall. Dea r Sir: There are many girls who are dissatisfied with the prevailing conditions in the girls' .g ym classes. In the beginning of the semester, we were requested to purchase new gym suits, rather than use those that we had used in high school. For some girls, this was a financial strain which was completely unnecessary. Then we were informed that we were required to take showers. Although this rule was not strictly enforced at times, when it was enforced, approximately fifty girls fought over six showers. This led to mass confusion. There was also a great lack of privacy in the showers. The first activity that we undertook was the playing of children's ga,mes. These games were specifically designed for young children and were of little interest to anyone but, possibly, elementary education majors. After being sufficiently exposed to these .g ames, we started to play ,basketball. This is satisfactory in a limited amount, but it does get a little aggravating when little else is done. Some students, especially those who have gym classes twice a week, find this routine very monotonous. If more variety were added to the gym schedule, the classes would be more enjoyable for everyone concerned, and there would certainly be better attendance. (Name withheld by request) On Respect -- A New S~ant Some time ago, a professor - who shall remain nameless startled us with the suggestion that ,t he students should take pains to show a little less respect to their instructors. Before we recovered from the shock, he went on to note that too many sudents sit quietly and respectfully, happy to accept as gospel every word uttered from the front of the room. This same prof went on to reveal that he had, on several occasions, made blatantly ridiculous statements in hopes of stirring up some class participation, only to be greeted with the industrious scribbling of note-taking automatons, happily gobbling up a lot of hogwash. He concluded that "respect" was probably not the true description of this phenomenon; instead he attributed it to plain intellectual sloth. This writer has found himself on all too many occasions mirroring these regrettable actions along with many of his supposedly more intelligent colleagues. Is this a trend? We fear it is. That we are aware of it is an encouraging sign. Whether or not we can change the situation is another thing. Are students entirely at fault, or is this another case of a vicious circle? It could be that a moderately argumentive class may slow down, forcing the prof to become more pedantic and take larger steps to dominate discussion to the end that he simply lectures until the bell rings and then forgets he ever faced a class. There are probably several other explanations for the decline in class discussion. Instructors themselves may be wholly at fault. We don't know, nor can we propose any other solution than that startling request: let's have a little less respect and a little more intellecual exercise. With a new semester facing us, we have a perfect chance for a fresh start. WHAT ... WHERE ... WHEN ... Bible Study Group _ Bookstore Lounge, Today, Noon.

The object: an uprooted parking meter. The meter was intact, with a,bout t en pounds of concrete still affixed to the base. It was presumably returned to the City, as it was no longer in evidence by mid-morning. The Observer is curious as to what explanation was given to the City officials. Who got the blame? WE WERE OBSERVED A scheduled visit by the "Feature Writing" class of night school last Tuesday didn't pan out. The class arrived; the instructor, Mr. John C. Bush, didn't. Members of the class began arriving at the Beacon office about 8 p.m., •but by 8 :30 Mr. Bush still had not arrived, so the members of the class departed. Mr. Bush's absence may have been due to what is termed "inclement weather," specifically snow and ice, making hazardous driving conditions.

WHIPCRACKER GETS GIFT Richard Myers, whose marriage announcement appeared in last week's Beacon, was given a wedding present last Tuesday night by members of the Beacon staff. The present was a bottle of imported champagne. Dick's only comment, beside a thank you, was " ... everything we got so far is my wife's : her iron, her toaster, etc. Now I've got something for myself." Even so, the Observer f eels sure that the champagne will be shared by the missus.

I �Friday, January 15, 1960 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 3 Wrestlers, Cagers Away Until February ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Radecki Takes Scoring Lead; Named lo E.C.A.C. All-Star Squad Bernie Radecki, senior co-captain of the basketball team is this week's Beacon "Athlete." Radecki has been an outstanding performer for Coach Eddie Davis this season and has earned the Beacon award for the second time in less than a month. He was "Athlete of the Week" on December 18, 1959. Radecki wa9 chosen for his sensational playing in the Moravian and Dickinson games. Against Moravian he tallied 26 points to lead a.JI Wilkes scorers. 20 of those tallies came in the first half as he kept the Colonels in the ball game. All this was accomplished even though the hard-driving forward was suffering from intestinal flu that finally caught up with him in the second half. Most of Radecki's baskets came on long jump shots from beyond the foul circle and he drew the applause of the Moravian fans as he continually poured the •b all through the hoop. He again proved to be the big man in the Wilkes attack against Dickinson as he scored 22 points to pace the Colonels. Once more the long jump shot stood out as the big factor in the Wilkes victory. Radecki was also top rebounder for the Colonels in both contests, often outjumping men who towered over him. For his fine work in both games Radecki was named to last week's first team on the ECAC All-Star squad for small colleges. This is the highest honor that a college Bernie Radecki basketball player can receive in east coast competition. The allsta.r team is chosen each week by a board of ECAC officials on the basis of a player's performance over the span of games played during the week. 1.-M.

Least year Hofstra won the contest played at Wilkes, 73-70. The Colonels hope to continue their winning ways following an impressive win over Dickinson last Saturday, 102-81. The victory broke a four game losing streak and evened the team's record at 4-4. Bernie Radecki led the Wilkes scorers against Dickinson as he tallied 22 points. He was followed closely by George Gacha who hit for 21. Hofstra will ,g o into tomorrow's game with an 11-1 record. The Dutchmen have beaten such teams as Army, LIU, Loyola, Delaware, Upsala, and Albright. They were also the winner of their own Long Island Invitational Tournament as they won over Adelphi, Rutgers, and Lehigh. The lone Hofstra loss was to Wagner, 50-48. Wilkes will have to stop the Dutchmen's two top scorers if they expect to win. Ted Jackson, a junior, cra,cked the starting lineup last year as a sophomore and led the team in scoring. He is a big threat again this season. The other man to watch is guard Steve Dunn another starter as a sophomore last year. He finished second to Jackson in scoring. The ·Colonels continue to play through final examinations. On January 23 they journey to Oneonta, N .Y., to meet the Hartwick College Warriors. The Warriors are usually a hard team to beat on their home court and a,J. ways give the Colonels a rough time. They will depend on their captain, Barry Lewis, senior forward from Carbondale, Pa., to do most of their heavy work, in the scoring column and off the backboards. Wilkes beat the Warriors at home last year, 92-79. The Scranton Royals will furnish the opposition on January 27, at Scranton. This will be the first of two meetings between the teams. Scranton returns to the Wilkes gym on February 3. Scranton is off to a slow start this year after enjoying several good seasons. They lost their first five games and were beaten by Moravian College this week, 104-89. The Royals biggest threat is Captain Bobby Meckwood, senior guard from Scranton. Meckwood was last year's most valuable player for the Royals and has been their top scorer this season. Scranton · beat Wilkes last campaign, 82-69. Saturday, January 30, the Colonels again play on the road when they go to Trenton, N .J. to face Rider College. The Broncs have come up with another topnotch team and have beaten some of the better schools in South Jersey. Last year they defeated the Colonels, 7763. After their most extensive road trip of the season, the team returns to the friendly confines of the Wilkes :gym' on Monday, February 1 to meet a strong Laf111yette organization.

Farley was the recipient of the Wilkes-Barre Kiwanis Chili Award for Outstanding Community Service. The Award was presented to Dr. Farley by Mr. Benjamin Badman, Jr., ~he immediate past president of the Kiwanis, at the service club's annual Ladies Night program which was held last Thursday at the Hotel Sterling. The scroll was presented "as a symbol of the esteem of the entire comm u n i t y." Dr. Farley was praised as a leader of the college and community activities. An account of Dr. Farley's community service was given by Mr. Badman who r evealed that the educator became president of Bucknell Junior College in 1936 and since then he has directed its transformation into a mature, accredited Wilkes College with a superior faculty, a commodious campus, and hundreds of loyal graduates.

Claire Handler, general chairman of the affair, announced that members contributing goods must bring them to McClintock Hall on January 29.

In his address, "The Beat Generation and the Careful Young Man," Dr. Vujica contrasted the seriousness of Russian writers such as Dudintsev and Pasternak with the frivolousness of such western philosophers as the existentialists and members of the "beat generation." Explaining the "beat phenomenon," Dr. Vujica presented colorful quotations from "beat" literature in which the "square," a slave to commodities and conventions is scorned. The "beat" practice voluntary poverty and unconventional living and spend their time writing and reading poetry, painting, meditating and listening to music. They seize the present, living it to the fullest extent in order to gain every ounce of enjoyment. Dr. Vujica pointed out that the "beat" philosophy contains a grain of truth for it rebels against the commercialized civilization of the machine and atomic age in which man becomes a slave to gadgets. Concluding, Dr. Vujica said, "In dramatizing certain evil tendencies of our society, the 'beat' generation may be doing the 'square' a service by shaking him out of his complacency. The tragedy is that these rebels have nothing more constructive to solve the problems of the Atomic Age." Dr. Sheldon G. Cohen, associate professor of Biological Research, will have a paper presented next week at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Allergy in Miami, Florida. I.t will be presented during the Scientific Program between January 11 and 13. The paper is entitled "Serotonin and Histamine-Effecting Agents and E xperimental Vascular Sensitization." It is based on studies conducted in ,t he Department of Biology by Dr. Cohen and Theresa Sapp, research assistant. Research grants from the Northeastern Pennsylvania Heart Association and the National Heart Institute of the U. S. Public Health Dr. Sheldon G. Cohen Service supported these studies.

Salle is now recognized around the world. The man responsible for the Salle vaccine has become one of medicine's great figures and his name is a household word. . Yet 17 years ago, back in 1942, Jonas E. Salle was just another name on an application blank, another young research scientist, requesting fellowship assistance to study viruses. An award of $2,100 was· granted. A little over 10 years later this man announced to the world the first effective means of preventing a disease that had left human wreckage strewn across the face of the globe for centuries. The $2,100 invested in 1942 in Jonas E. Salle was an investment of the American people through the March of Dimes. Since 1938 more than 8,000 other young Americans have been aided in training through March of Dimes fellowships and scholarships. Dr. Salle is not the only famous "alumnus" of the professional education program of the The National Foundation. A Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Frederick Robbins, of Western Reserve University, Cleveland, was also a one-time "student" of this program. In 1959 The National Foundation started two new programs to help the Salks of tomorrow. Through a new fellowship program it will give resident and practicing physicians opportunities for advanced training in rheumatology or in the treatment of patients suffering from birth defects of the central nervous system, both part of The National Foundation's new program. In the health professions there is never any unemployment problem. The reason is that there simply are not enough of these skilled medical workers to fill the need. According to recent figures, there are now some 460,000 nurses caring for the sick; but at least 56,000 more are needed. There are 8,550 physical therapists; but 5,000 more are wanted. There are 5,800 occupational therapists; but 14,000 more are needed. There are 5,000 medical social workers; but 6,500 more could be used. There are 227,000 doctors, but not enough new ones are being trained. And most of the other health professions are equally understaffed. To alert college students to the unlimited opportunities open to them in the health fields and to aid some of them to get the training necessary, The National Foundation is now supporting a multi-million dollar Health Scholarship Program. In the summer of 1959 the first 403 of these scholarships were awarded to students throughout the nation. In 1960 The National Foundation will offer more than 500 Health Scholarships. Each scholarship will pay $500 a year, or a total of $2,000 for four years of college training in five key health fields of medicine, medical social work, physical therapy, nursing and occupational therapy. For prospective medical social workers, scholarships will be awarded starting with the junior year of college and extending through the two years of required graduate work. For prospective physicians, scholarships will be awarded to college upperclassmen who have been accepted for admission to · medical school. Health Scholarships, which are made possible through the New March of Dimes, are open to students in every state. Application blanks for these scholarships, which must be filed before April 1, can now be secured from the local chapter of The National Foundation. The Health Scholarship Program represents a tremendous March of Dimes investment in human resources. It is the first of its kind ever attempted on this scale. The cost is estimated at $12,000,000 over a 10-year period. But through it, thousands of young Americans will be trained for jobs worth doing and those jobs will be waiting for them wherever they choose to work. New Year's Day Wedding For Nesbitt Faculty Member by the BEACON Staff Dick Myers, chief whip-cracker at the Beacon office, has met his match at last through his New Year's Day marriage to the former Lois Tremayne. According to our reports of the big occasion, the poor young thing considered to enter wedlock with our illustrious Simon Legree a short nine days before old 1959 made his exit. In the hectic week, the couple found a vacancy at 81 W. Northampton St., behind Weiss Hall, in .the apartments maintained by the College for married students. The nuptials took place at Christ Lutheran Church, City, the Rev. Raymond A. Reed officiating. A Mrs. Richard J. Myers r eception for close friends and relatives was held at the Adams Room, Hotel Sterling. No invitations were issued for the short-notice affair. Mrs. Myers was graduated from Wilk es in 1957 with a B.S. in Nursing Education, received her R.N. from the Wyoming Valley Hospital .School of Nursing, and is a graduate of Westmoreland High School. She formerly lived with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Tremayne, Chase Road, Trucksville. Presently she serves as instructor at the Nesbitt Hospital School of Nursing. The Editor will leave Wilkes in June with an A.B. in English. He is a veteran of three years in the A'l'my Security Agency, spent twc years in the Philippine Islands as a sergeant at Clark Air Force Base. Following the ceremony on the clear, crisp first day of the year, the couple honeymooned in New York; however, both were back in Friday, January 8, 1960 There Is An Answer Dishonesty is contagious; it multiplies with alarming speed. A nation needs defense against subversion from within and attack from without. Dishonesty weakens a nation's strength through the personal actions of its citizens. What about America? It does not take long to realize that absolute honesty is not suffering from overuse today. Realization of corruption in high and low places comes so thick and fast that they leave us numb with apathy. We need to find a production line of character , and fast. According to FBI reports there is an army of 7,500,000 persons engaged in crime in our country. The cost of crime comes down on every man, woman and child in an average of over $200 per year. Perhaps you congratulate yourself that you have not robbed a ban:k or committed a murder, or forged a check, but the cutting of moral corners comes for most of us in more subtly concealed fo r ms; the mother who t ells the bus conductor her child is half-fare when he is in fact overage and is surprised when the same child starts to lie to her; the man who boasts about smuggling items through customs and is indignant when his son smuggles out of his cellar the best bottle of scotch and out of his humidor his choicest cigars; the woman whose tongue cuts across the group and robs other women of their reputations; more commonly, the students who pass and receive answers to zoology exams; the chemists who collaborate on unknown reports and quantitative analysis; the students who copy reports from encyclo·p edias; those who "doctor up" personal information for self-esteem. Dishonesty no less prevalent lies in the masks we wear to dress up our personalities. Most of us have worn one among our friends. Dishonesties we condone in ourselves we condemn in others. We are horrified when others do blatantly what we do quietly but we often forget that as dishonesties· multiply in a nation they undermine its character and destroy its strength. We preach wrath against a condition we have helped to create. The meaning of absolute honesty will be plain to everyone who seeks it. There may be doubtful areas where you need advice. There are likely to be more areas about which there are no doubts. Start with them. Think out the restitution you need to make in order to put right the path. The guiding light from God will show you what, how, and when restitution should be made. Does absolute honesty pay ? Those who pioneer in absolute honesty may not need immediate cash dividends the dividends will come in inner peace. They may come in the certainty that we have done what we were meant to do. They will, above all come in the solid ·p eace of eternal life. (Ed.

The Ithaca mat squad comes to Wilkes seeking revenge for the 1713 victory the Wilkes grapplers won last year. Coach Herb Broadwell has six returning lettermen to give the Bombers another strong mat team. They are exceptionally strong in the lower weights, 157lb., and heavyweight classes. Last week the Ithaca grapplers edged out the tough Syracuse University squad, 16-15. Most of the Lthaca ·wrestlers come from Ithaca High School which has one of the best high school wrestling systems in the country. The Ithaca matmen work out with Cornell, the wrestling pride of ,t he Ivy League, so their· personnel are always in top shape. The Colonel wrestlers enter this match with a 33-3 victory over Lebanon Valley's wrestling team. Coach John Reese's charges showed their best in the initial match of the season with Capt. Joe Morgan, Brooke Yeager, Dick Stauffer, Glen Rittenhouse, Gerard Senick, and Marv Antinnes turning in falls. Bob Sislian won a decisive decision in the heavyweight class. Returning to the Blue and Gold lineup for the Ithaca match will be 157-lb. MAC tiitlist Ted Toluba. Ted was hampered by a sprained shoulder but showed he was back in top shape by capturing third place in the Wilkes Open Wrestling tournament. Also in the Wilkes lineup will be Marv Antinnes, runner-up in the 177-lb. division of the Wilkes Open. Marv became the first Colonel grappler ever to enter the tourney finals with decisive victories over some of the East's top wrestlers. In the battle of fullbacks, Al Rushatz of West Point, edged out the Colonel pride to win the 177-lb. title. I Ray Hollie's "':::•::~:'.:::"r~!

Among the gifts distributed were a large number of toys collected by sorority members. Instead of repairing toys solicited on campus, as was done last year, the coeds set up a collection box at Chapman Hall. Sorority members who distributed the toys reported that they had a very enjoyable time entertaining the children and selecting appropriate toys for the various age groups.

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS BUILD BACTERIA "CRUSHER" Ed Club Holds Party, Plans Combination Dance by Steve Cooney Plans are being formulated by the Ed Club for their Friday night dance which will be held in the gym January 15. Once again this year the affair will feature square and modern dancing. Music will be furnished by The Statesmen, with calling being handled by Joe McKeown. Yesterday a club meeting and Christmas Coke Party was held in Conyngham Annex. The party was free for all members of the club in good standing. (Meaning all those who have paid their dues!) At the meeting yesterday the general chairman and committee heads for the upcoming dance were nominated, but these names were not turned into the Beacon in time to meet the press deadline.

John Nork 1s a sophomore psychology major and Joe Cardone is a junior business education major. They both r eside in Nanticoke. The two comedians have planned an act especially designed to please the children, modeled after Red Skelton's style of humor. The children will also be treated to a visit by Santa Claus in the person of Fred Wall. When he is not performing his duties as jolly old St. Nicholas, Fred is the cook at the Wilkes Cafeteria. Ice cream, soda, candy, cookies, and other goodies highlight the menu for the party. The cake and cookies will be baked by the moth ers of the Jaycees. The festivities will be topped off by the singing of Christmas carols and the playing of games. The committee for the affair is made up of Don Goobic, party chairman ; Paul Klein, gifts; John Mattey, publicity, and Roger Cease, baked goods. r ICG Sponsors Dance, Launches 1960 Program Hanover Township High School recently donated to the Wilkes science departments .. a machine to be used in bacteriological research. This machine, which in reality is a bacteria "crusher," was created by Hanover students, under the supervision of Hanover's biology department. The crusher operates by applying pressure to plastic tubes, which contain both the bacteria and quantities of microscopic glass beads. The bacteria are crushed, then these harmless bacteria are used to study the possibility of creating immunizing drugs from the harmless bacteria. Members of the Wilkes faculty directing this research project are Dr. Sheldon Cohen and Mr. Calvin Freeman.

Legal? Today is the deadline for application for loans under the National Defense Education Act. According to Robert Morris, who is in charge of distributing these applications, only 23 have applied for aid under the Federal program. Last Spring 70 applied. Mr. Morris states that there is a danger that the Wilkes appropriation under the act may be cut if the response doesn't come up to expectations. We can scarcely believe that our college has become a haven for financially independent students. Furthermore, we suspect that there must be some valid reason for the lack of interest in picking up aid to further one's education. Some inkling of the reasons behind the hesitancy may be seen in the public skepticism concerning the act expressed by high-ranking government officials, including President Eisenhower. In a report prepared by the Harverd "Crimson" recently, the center of dissatisfaction seems to be section lO0l(f) of the N.D.E.A. This is the famous-or infamous-"loyalty oath" provision which has caused seven prominent colleges to refuse even to participate in the Title II loan program. They were: Princeton, Haverford, Swarthmore, Bryn Mawr, Amherst, Antioch, and Reed. Later, Oberlin, Harvard and Yale reconsidered their participation, withdrew, and returned the funds that .had been granted to them. The main objection seems to be that under Title II loans, each institution is given a certain lump sum to distribute to its students as it deems proper. Therefore, the institutions do more than send in the applications, they directly administer the loyalty provision. Furthermore, Title II of the N.D.E.A. is the only program of its kind which requires matching funds from the college. In effect, this means that the college not only administers the loyalty provision for the government; it must also require an oath and affidavit in return for its own money. Dr. William P. Fidler, testifying before a Senate committee on behalf of the American Association of University Professors, stated the A.A.U.P.'s objections to the disclaimer affidavit: "First, our belief that it is a denial of due process of law to compel an individual to gauge his conduct by such vague criteria, when criminal liability may tum on his action; second, our grave doubts as to the constitutionality of a provision which may infringe upon the first amendment protection of freedom of belief and association; third, our repugnance against test oaths of any kind; and fourth, our particular objection as educators to being singled out and being required to testify that we are not being disloyal." The matter certainly bears closer investigation. While few loyal citizens would refuse to swear to their loyalty, any man would .object to having to prove his loyalty to the United States, particularly when a subversive agent at whom the provision is aimed would not hesitate to perjure himself, oaths be damned. The disclaimer affidavit suggests a lack of confidence in youth by its government through means of a device which is ineffective at best, and perhaps unconstitutional. Pitter-Patter Santa Claus came early this year to the Rileys. Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Riley announced Sunday the long-awaited birth of their first child, a baby girl.

Read fices appear in the "Dean's Corner" them and heed them DAILY. of the College bulletin board behind December 14, 1959 Dear Editor: Last Friday's edition of the Beacon included an article concerning the compulsory class meetings held last week. The portion of the article dealing with the meeting of the senior class included a resume of a report submitted by myself concerning the work of the class gift committee. The resume, which stated that my r eport included an explanation of the administration's adverse response to all the suggestions proposed for a class gift, was rather inaccurate. In my report, I stated that Mr. Picton, who has been kind enough to work with the committee, gave us some comments, from the administration's viewpoint, concerning the suggestions that had been made. It was felt that some of these suggestions were not suitable as a class gift. However, other suggestions were favorably commented upon and additional ones were made concerning areas which my committee had overlooked. Since I am convinced that the inaccuracy arose from the condensation of news which is necessitated by a number of characteristics peculiar to the press medium, I feel that the opportunity to use this column to correct this inaccuracy sufficiently deals with the matter. Sincerely, Christine Winslow "To The Campus Observer: December 8 1959 We the undersigned believe that there should be some change' as to the date of registration between semesters. As of now, most dormitory stude~ts have to travel back to school during their between-semester vacat10n, many as far as 200 miles. This is a great inconvenience and we definitely feel that some change should be made. We feel that a 'good date would be that of a dormitory students' last final exam. This would only pertain to dormitory students." The above was signed by many students from several dormitori es. The Observer talked with Mr. Whitby about the situation; Mr. Whitby made the point that the above example would not be fair to other students. He offered the suggestion that dorm students have another student register for them. The idea also arose for dorm students to fill out the large schedule blocks as much as possible before registration leaving on!! the actual classes to be fill ed in by the other students who would register dorm s!ud~nts. This would be a registration by "proxy." Another obJecbon to the plan proposed by the dorm students is that students would not know at final exams if they had passed all their courses or not. Failure in one course alone would disrupt the early registration. The administi:ation . reali~es the hardship that is felt by dorm stustudents due to this_ reg1st~·at10n plan. If any worthwhile suggestion is brought forth to reheve this hardship, and still be fair to ALL students the Observer is certain it will he used. It must be considered from not only the student angle, but also from the viewpoint of the faculty and the administration. APPOINTMENT "POLICY" Have you ever made an appointment with a member of the administrati~n? If you have, you probably have been kept waiting long past the time scheduled for the appointment. Take for example the person who has an ~ppointment at 2 o'clock. Arriving a few minutes before 2, he seats himself for what· is supposedly a few minutes wait. Two o'cl_ocik comes and goes and still he sits. Two-thirty arrives, the buzzer rmgs, :ind someone else gets the nod to enter the office. Finally, your turn arrives, only to find that someone has just arrived that MiUST see so-and-s? immediately. So you sit and wait some more. At last, you are admitted to the inner sanctum, and the purpose of your appointment is r evealed to you. This practice occurs too often. If a business office were run in this manner, very little if anything would be accomplished. The Observer From: Court of Appeals Chairman would like to know if this practice is becoming one of the "Policies" o{ To: Student Body the school.

Kool Yool Ramble Tomorrow; Speakeasy Theme Prevails 11 11 by Leona Baiera Grab your rqccoon coat, bring your swinging horn, and come to the "Kool Yool Ramble", the latest of many recent campus-wide dorm parties. This affair will arouse the campus tomorrow night from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m., after the Wilkes-Wagner basketball game and will be held in McClintock Hall. School Spirit Committee Backs Christmas Caroling McC!intock and Barre Hall have combined forces to sponsor this party which will featur e a "Jam Session," the first public jam session on campus in recent years. All members of the student body and faculty are invited to bring their own musical instruments and join with Jack Melton and his band and "let their hair down." Although the Melton orchestra is well-known for its appearances at campus formals, it will assume another role when it brings jaz,z to tomorrow's night's party. However, students attending will find that a variety of dances - fox trots, cha-chas, polkas, and jitterbugs - has been planned by the program committee. McC!intock Hall will be t emporarily transformed into a "speakeasy," complete with "flappers," " bathtub gin," and jazz. Several surprises, designed to startle and amuse all party-goers, will be on the agenda. Refreshments and "good cheer" will be free, but a nominal 49 cent donation will be required from each person attending, to help cover expenses. Committee heads for the party are: general chairmen, Augusta Sidari and Gene Stickler; general coordinator, Les Andres; decorations, Janie Palka, Owen Francis, Vince Capo; refreshments, Claire Handler , George Gavales; tickets, Sylvia Natt, Rich Friedberg; publicity, Ann Curley, Bill Hunt. by Wayne Thomas The Christmas Caroling project is the major item on the School Spirit a genda for next week.

After leaving the gym, the carolers will sing at all the dormitories, and at the residences of Dr. Farley and Dean Cole. Donuts and cocoa will be served at Chapman Hall, which is the last building to b'c! visited by the carolers. Jim Stephens' chairman of the committee, announced that there will be no meeting next week due to the busy holiday schedule of events.

KC Opens New Building; Library, Science Units Included in Structure by Steve Cooney King's College's new Science Building was formally dedicated at exercises held last Sunday at the college. The ultra-modern fourstory structure was built at a cost of $1,125,000. The basement of the building contains the new cafeteria, which has facilities for the entire student body. On the main floor of the new structure is the new auditorium which has a complete stereophonic sound system and a seating capacity of 500. Also included on the main floor is a huge lobby for the use of theatre-goers at intermission. The second and third floors are devoted to biology, physics, and chemistry labs and classrooms. The new library takes up the entire fourth floor. This new addition to the college is adjacent to the main building on North River Street. Before the dedication exercises an open house was held for the public. IDC Plans Yule Party; Refreshments, Dancing Highlight Seasonal Affair by Steve Cooney The Inter-Dormitory All Student Christmas Party - a traditional part of campus Christmas celebration - will be held next Thursday evening from 9 to 12 in the Commons. As in the past, there will be no charge for the evening of festivities, and although the party is being held by the IDC, it is open to the ENTIRE STUDENT BODY. Music for the evening will be furnished by the Dynamics, and members of the faculty have promised to provide entertainment. The buffet style m enu for the evening will include Christmas "goodies," sandwiches, cookies, sweets, coffee, and soda. Pat Belardinella is general chairman of the affair, and each of the dormitories is responsible for providing some aspect of the evening's entertainment. by Jay Olexy A Christmas panorama, complete with myriads of colored lights, stately evergreen trees with shimmering icicles ... a g igantic, fluffyw bite snowman . .. a colorful winter snow scene ... and a canopy of f esti ve blue and white streamers will unfold at the gymnasium tonight. This will be the setting for the thirteenth annual Christmas Formal, sponsored by the Lettermen's Club. The "socialites" attending will waltz to the music of Lee Vincent and his orchestra from 9 p.m. to midnight. They will be received at the door by Dean and Mrs. George Ralston, Dr. and Mrs. Harold Thatcher, Dr. and Mrs. John Gaito, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Morgan, and Messers. Carl Havira, Ray Yanchus, and their dates. General co-chairmen for tonight's affair, Joe Morgan and Carl Havira, have worked diligently to insure that the high standards of entertainment and pageantry, outstanding in past formals, will be met this year. Jim N eddoff and Ron Simms, heading the decorations committee, have come up with some unusual ideas which are sure to add to everyone's enjo yment of the holiday season. Supplementing the huge snowman in the center of the gym will be a small imitation brick wall around the bandstand which will be incorporated into the winter scene. The area between the wall and the bandstand will be blanketed with snow rising to the level of the stage. The whole effect will be crowned with a canopy of blue and white streamers which will extend over the dance area. In addition to the dazzling panorama, each table will be adorned with small "yule logs" and candles. The women of TDR have voluntarily aided in this project. Special credit and a word of thanks go to Frank Polanowski and Clancy Dennis, who painted the beautiful backdrop, which will feature a typical "Currier and Ives" winter scene. Joe Hiznay, program chairman, and Eddie Kemps, favors chairman, have helped to make the occasion a memorable one for every young lady attending. Each lady will receive an attractive program to add to her college "memoirs,'' and Santa will be on hand to present her with "something extra." The intermission program will again feature the singing of Christmas music by the Lettermen, under the direction of Mr. John Detroy. Millie Gittins, "most esteemed" honorary member of the club, will accompany. Bob Chew and Barry Yocum, ticket co-chairmen, r emind those still wishing to attend that tickets will be sold at the door. Price is $4.00 per couple. Other committee heads are: Pat Shovlin, refreshments; Lou Davis, invitations; Jay Olexy, chaperons; Marvin Antinnes and Paul Aquilino, publicity. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 2 Friday, December 11, 1959 IXIIIXIIIXXIIXIIXIIIXIXX EDITORIALS A Vicious Circle Letter to the Editor ... comment on any but campus affairs. For reasons too lengthy to discuss here, we have adhered to that policy but only while waiting to observe general trends in campus conversations concerning non-campus topics. The recent steel strike and its resulting tie-up in the industrial output of the Nation, have demonstrated clearly a development toward insane headlong drives into the realization of Mr. Khrushchev's "overtaking" boasts. .Through constantly rising wage demands the unions are forcing the price of goods made by their members so high that they can't compete with foreign goods. American manufacturers then tum to automation to make their products more cheaply, or quit making their products. Either way, the employee is out of work. In areas such as ours, traditionally strong for labor, this trend has led to growing unrest in the minds of citizens, union members included, concerning the misuse or abuse of power by the unions. Government then comes along to swing its axe through taxes to drain off job-making capital and through inflationary spending that destroys savings. There can be no jobs unless somebody saves enough money to buy the tools, plant, and raw materials for employees to work with. In a vicious circle, high taxes mean less to be saved, while inflation means that more money must be saved for necessary equipment, thus crippling the saving and investing process which creates jobs. If government and union officials intend to see "full employment," they had better drop ''I'll eat my hat" statements and take another long look at their plans. Unfortunately we have no solution to offer. Breaking a vicious circle is a vicious task. As college students, leaders in the too-soon-here future, we must be aware of these dangerous practices. We should observe, discuss and consider the trends and all possible angles for solutions. If the pendulum swing from the Industrial Revolution's management abuses to today's labor unions' excessive power is to be set at rest somewhere near a median point, government must be wary when fooling with the adjustment mechanism. Government, labor, management-tomorrow that's us-had better stop pointing fingers at each other and start pointing towards the future. * * * * * Editor, Beacon Staff Wilkes College Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Mr. Editor: Like, I want to thank the students of Wilkes College for their participation and co-operation in making the "Beatnik Bop" such a swinging affair. The response to the theme was the greatest and the atmosphere created by the students the most. Again, "thanks" to the student body. Sincerely, John G. Gavazzi Pres., Psych.-Soc. Club It has been a general policy on the Beacon to avoid editorial IIIIIIIXXIIIIIXIIXIIIXXI Before You Register One of the reasons for speedier and more efficient registration has been the elimination of the Finance tie-up in the gym. This was accomplished by the department accepting payments in advance and giving the student a stub receipt. With the new policies revealed last week, we see that positive steps toward faster registration continue. Before you register, however, you would do well to pay a visit to the Finance office to do as you did in September-pay. No student will be allowed to pass the first desk if he doesn't have his receipt. Payment is set, as in September, at a minimum of $100. Mrs. Connolly has announced that the receipts will be ready for use following the Christmas holidays, giving everyone ample time to pay early and avoid lengthy lines and unnecessary delays. As in the start of the Fall semester, anyone paying by mail will have his receipt sent to the Registrar's office, where the receipt will be held for the student. Any student whose tuition is paid by an outside agency must report to the Finance office early to check with Mrs. Connolly on the payments which will be made for him. Dormitory residents are reminded that registration time means that dorm fee payments are due also. Another reminder for both day and dorm students is that the insurance paid for at the start of the school year runs until June. No further payment is required on either the $7 accident or the $21.50 health insurance programs. WHAT . . . WHERE . . . WHEN ... Lettermen's Club Christmas Formal - Tonight, 9 - . ' Gymnasium.

Dues, Charity, Buffet Major Items for TDR There Is An Answer by Michael Bianco and Gordon Roberts The evidence of moral malnutrition lies around us in every college and community as a result of the dictates of the public enemies who make money out of moral defeat and care not a darn for the hell on earth they cause. Addressing the Asian and African nations recently, Mr. Khrushchev, referring to his visit to a Hollywood show, said, "If that display of pornography was any example of American morals, I foresee an easy task in burying the Americans in their own defeat." Today atomic war is a threat so terrible that men shudder to think of it. Yet there is a ·p enetration into the heart of society that promises a slower but more effective extinction. Moral decadence has defeated many civilizations before ours. A wise man would not argue that better schooling and antibiotics have cured this growing cancer in modern life. These two tragic destinies, atomic war and moral decadence, must be understood and the answer-moral rearmament-brought with the utmost speed on a world scale. The strength of a nation is measured by its fight for purity. When this moral bastion goes, decay creeps through the whole society. Then honesty depends only on the possibility of getting caught. Loyalty lasts only as long as it is expedient. Cooperation must pay an obvious cash dividend, or give way to "every man for himself." Then moral judgement becomes the matter of a daily plebiscite, and what is morally good becomes identical with what the crowd wants and accepts. What a man ought or ought not to do becomes determined, not by moral standdards, but by the whims of the people. Moral awareness of the student is less easily explained. Students are apprentices in that noble work of finding and proclaiming the truth, not tried by the demands of society, by and large, to compromise their moral convictions; they look to the professor as a disciple looks to the master. IT HAPPENED HERE What happens when a Wilkes student of presumably superior intelligence and breeding, supposedly sensitive to the moral issue of truth, finds that he was wantonly accusing his professor of the same things he was doing himself? First, he realized that he was part of a group that betrayed the people around him by telling them what they wanted to hear and not what was right. Secondly, this Wilkes student went to his professor and apologized for defaming his moral standing. This student told the professor how he had criticized him for his morally questionable methods of teaching. At first the professor was silent; then he thanked the student for coming to him and related some of his own experiences. From then on a new cordial relationship developed between the student and professor simply because the student changed. No longer is the student blasphemous and the professor has changed his teaching methods. Today the lives of many people alternate between the excitements and depressions of immorality in every form because the modern world is full of deliberate appeals to sexual stimulation. In this age moral obtuseness signifies the beginning of the end of civilized society and is evidenced by self-centeredness and immaturity. There is an answer for the man or woman who is seeking to breaik the chain of enslavement to their desires. If their danger is falling off cliffs, why walk along the edge? People know well enough what books, pictures, and associations to avoid. Leave one weak spot in the dike and the whole land may be flooded. The progress of defeat is the look, the thought, the fascination, and the fall. The progression is best stopped after the look-the first one. If we do not look at the wrong thing, we may have a better chance to think the right thing. "Sow a thought, reap an act; sow an act, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap destiny." YOU ARE . . . OR YOU ARE NOT Moral Re-Armament has no membership. You are in or out of it according to the quality of life you live. No dues are paid. Contributions by various people finan ce the movement. M.R.A. means honesty purity, unselfishness, and love-absolutely, personally, and nationall/ M.R.A. means power to change people--our enemies as well as our friends-the other fellow and the other nation. It is God's gift to bring an insane world to sanity. by Jean Shofranko A surprisingly large number of TDR members "braved the elements" Monday evening to attend the combination monthly meeting and Christmas party of the sorority. President Beverly Butler began the discussion of old business by complimenting Augusta Sidari and members of committees on the success of the Old People's Party held last Saturday. Miss Butler reminded members that each coed must pay her dues and meet membership requirements each semester in order to remain in good standing in the sorority. Barbara Bachman, chairman of the annual Christmas buffet, announced that plans were near completion. She reported that the buffet will be held on Wednesday at 6 p.m. in the Commons. Next on the agenda was a report by Doris Gademan, chairman, who announced that the main projects for December concern the Salvation Army. Members have volunteered to "man" kettles in Central City on December 10 and contribute and distribute gifts at the Salvation Army's Children's Christmas Party to be held at the Citadel W ednesday. A report on School Spirit activities was given and members unanimously agreed to purchase an ad in the 1960 edition of the Amnicola. Miss Butler began the discussion of new business with a request for m embers to aid the Lettermen in decorating the gymnasium for the Christmas Formal to be held tonight. The possibility of holding a bake sale in January was discussed next. Since the TDR treasury must be supplemented by a money-making project, members decided to take immediate steps in planning the sale. Claire Handler, chairman, requested full cooperation from members. After the business meeting members enjoyed a Christmas party at which gifts were exchanged, punch Sunday, December 13, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the and cookies were served, and carols Wilkes College gymnasium will open its doors to an expected were sung. large audience which will come to hear fifty young musicians Symphonelle lo Make Debut; Three Wilkes Students Featured Novices Take 2nd Place; Future Contests Awaited by Ralph Price Last Saturday the Wilkes College novice debating team placed second in the 13th Annual Temple Novice Debating Tournament.

Once again it was guard George Gacha who paced the Wilkes scoring attack. Gacha tallied 13 points to emerge as high man for the evening. Forward Barry Yocum was a giant off the boards and also scored 11 points to finish as runnerup to Gacha in scoring. Ron Roski was the only other Colonel to hit double figures. Roski scored 10 points.

Wagner comes to Wilkes with a tall team, led by John Orlando, senior guard, who has been the sparkplug of the squad for the past three seasons. Orlando was hampered with a leg injury most of the last campaign but seems to have recovered sufficiently and is expected to see lots of action this year. The Dutchmen will also depend upon 6'6" center Bob Junta to aid their rebounding game. Junta ranked high among Wagner's scorers last year and led the team in rebounds. The Colonels were beaten by Wagner last year, 70-62, on the latter's court on Staten Island, New York. Wednesday the team goes to the City of Brotherly Love to take on Philadelphia Textile Institute. Textile has been coming up with fine teams year after year and this season figures to be no exception. The Weavers have posted two victories already but were defeated by Long Island University in their last outing, 83-78. Senior Bob Simons, is one of the leading scorers on the team and has always spelled trouble for the Colonels. Simons tallied 21 against L.I.U. Herb Magee, a freshman from West Catholic High School in Phila delphia, has provided the Weavers with added scoring punch and ranks as one of the leading point-getters on the squad. Magee scored 22 in the L.I.U. game. Wilkes has been rough on Tex tile the past two years, having de feated them twice and last season eliminating them from a possible small college post tournament bid with an 83-69 defeat. Friday's Results Clem Gavenas' second half scor ing s·purt lead the the Colonels to a 70-64 win over the Lycoming Warriors last Friday at Williams port. Wilkes trailed at halftime, 37-33, but Gavenas got hot and made 6 of 8 long two-hand set shots to spark the team to their 70-64 victory. Gavenas was the leading scorer with 18 points along with guard George Gacha who also tallied 18, ten of which came in the second half. Bernie Radecki made 11 of 14 foul shots and finished with 13 points. - - - - - - - - - - - - - -· T.D.R. NOTICE TDR Is collecting toys for underprivileged children.

President John Mulhall presided. The major portion of discussion centered around suggestions for the class gift and the possibility of having a class dinner-dance next semester. Christine Winslow mentioned several popular ideas for a class gift. She then explained the administration''s adverse response to all of them and proposed some new ideas. A spirited discussion ensued. John Mulhall then asked for discussion on a class dinner-dance. Discussion was favorabl e, and a motion to have a class dinner-dance on March 4 was passed. Gil Davis, junior class president, appeared at the meeting to outline plans for the forthcoming Louis Armstrong jazz concert which will be presented next spring. Davis asked for volunteers to sell tickets for this affair and thus insure its success. Frank Edwards, Amnicola editor, explained the need for student support in financing the yearbook. A motion to purchase a $30 ad in the yearbook was passed by the class. This motion concluded new business and the m eeting was adjourned. JUNIOR CLASS MEETING The Junior Class held its meeting last Tuesday in the auditorium of the First Presybterian Church. The most important issue discussed was the proposed hiring of a 'big name' for a jazz concert in early April. After some discussion the class unanimously voted to engage Louis Armstrong if plans for this concert are approved. The fact was mentioned that this band would cost more, of course, than any other band previously appearing at Wilkes. For this reason one hundred and fifty people are being asked to promise to try to sell ten tickets each to insure the success of this venture. Tickets will sell for about two dollars each. This is considered a moderate price for an evening of entertainment by a famous musician. Campus and local participation will be necessary to insure the success of this and anticipated future projects. SOPHOMORE CLASS by Marilyn Krackenfels The Sophomore Class meeting, held Tuesday at the Jewish Community Center, centered around the discussion of several class projects slated for the near future. The first of these, a Christmas party for some of the underprivileged children in the area will be handled entirely by the students in conjunction with the Valley welfare agencies. The children will be treated to a party in their honor and each presented with a personal gift. Mike Bianco is in charge. The second project on the class agenda is the sale of second-hand books during mid-semester. The book committee, headed by Judy Butchko, will collect books during and after finals, catalogue, price, and have them ready for sale before the second semester. The basement of Stark Hall will be used for the collection and distribution center. Gil Davis, president of the Junior Class, requested that the sophomores aid in the advance sale of tickets necessary before the Junior Class can proceed with its plans to bring Louis Armstrong on campus. Old business attended to was the presentation of bowling trophies to Sally Smith and Bill Watkins who attained the highest women's and men's bowling scores at last year's class outing. Sandy Sidari accepted the award for Miss Smith. Friday, December 11, 1959 ----------------------=----------Winter Carnival at PMI; FRESHMAN CLASS by Lynne Dente The second meeting of the class of '63 was opened .by the class president, Steve Robertson, who introduced Gil Davis, president of the Junior Class. Gil spoke to the class about the possibility of bringing Louis Armstrong and his band to the Wilkes campus on April 2, 1960. In order to secure Mr. Armstrong's services for the evening, Dr. Farley has stipulated that 200 people must sell 10 tickets apiece. A paper was passed and signed by students who felt they would be able to sell the tickets. The secretary read the minutes of the previous meeting, and the treasurer reported a $65 profit from the Freshman Dance on December 4. Jim Walters, a student government representative, reported that the class constitution was submitted to and accepted by the Student Government. He told the class that the Student Government is preparing an activity calendar for the benefit of the students .Walters also mentioned that all students who are interested in helping prepare for the Winter Carnival should sign the notice on the bulletin board. Brent O'Connell expressed a desire for more participation at class functions.

The new plan calls for the early registration of seniors first, then registration by classes downward to the freshmen. This was explained as an attempt to see that each student gets at least one chance during his four years to be registered with a first choice in the making of his schedule. In the past, seniors often have been denied the chance to take electives because sections are quickly filled by underclassmen who must take the same courses as requirements. Also, the new idea for spacing out the registration crowd will facilita te each student's chance to realize a tailor-made program, if each student adheres to his pre-registration schedule. Seniors will be the first to register from 9 until 10 o'clock on the morning of January 29. Class determination will be by the Student Roster. Students entering 7th or 8th semesters will b e considered seniors. From 10 until 11, those entering their 5th and 6th semestersjuniors-will register, and sophomores-those entering 3rd or 4th H mesters-will register until Noon. All others will have from 1:00 until 2:30 p.m. to complete registration. All students are advised to see that their financial affairs are in order before attempting to register. Long Over-due Reform along the;;;e lines has been needed for a long time, b ut we must inject here the observation that, despite apparent hap::1a zard tactics in the past, there has been a steady speedingup p rocess taking place. Each semester found things progressing a bit mere smoo'hly in spite of constantly increasing enrollment. Students will probably hail the latest development as one of the final stages of a saner registration program, although we °' t th t there may be some initial unrest among the lower .,uspec a . . . . classes. We can only offer the consolation that therr time will come. .+ • • • • ♦ ••••••• ♦• ♦ •• Editor, Beacon Staff Wilkes College Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Mr. Editor: I would like to thank all persons who joined the caravan to Scranton University and helped to make it a huge success. There were thirty cars in the caravan, and of these, ten entered the competition for best decorated car. I feel that I am correct in stating that a good time was had by all. Special thanks to Steve Robertson, my assistant in the venture. Dr. Farley also receives thanks for a cting as judge for the decorating competition. In addition to expressing gratitude for cooperation, I would like to comment on the article in last week's Beacon which covered the caravan. The first comment I have to make is that the caravan was ten minutes late in leaving, rather than 30 minutes as stated by your n).Jorter. This delay was caused by the large turnout which had not been anticipated. The second comment I have to make is that the article more aptly describes a drag race with cars "zooming around corners." S~ch was not the case_, ~or at no time was any spee~ hmit exceeded as there was a pohc_e escort every f?ot I of the way; Wilkes-Barre pohce, State Police, and Scranton police. I This leads to another comment, for the police were not primarily LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS by Dick Bibler concerned with getting us out of their hair as is implied in the article. The Wilkes-Barre escort led us over a route which enabled many -p eople to see the caravan. In doing this, he encountered more traffic signals, etc., than he had to. The Penna. State Police served as an escort for the primary purpose of safety, for their presence acted as a deterrent to speeding, passing, etc. At the Scranton city line we were met by a police cruiser driven by a traffic control sergeant. He led us through lights, in and out of traffic, and got us to the stadium in record time. Though the route covered was short, I would like to add that Chief Ruddy had proposed a route through the shopping district. I felt that this would involve too many problems for him and chose the shorter route. At that time he also stated that he would be willing to cooperate every two years as long as Wilkes plays at Scranton. I feel that the behavior of the drivers reflects their intelligence as college students. Though a few gave in to the horn-blowing urge, most observed the city ordinances of .Scranton and Wilkes-Barre which forbid horn-blowing. The sergeant who escorted us to the stadium remavked that he was glad that there weren't too many violations of this ordinance.

B. Reif Dear Mr. Reif: This letter is being written almost immediately after the incident which occurred in your 8 o'clock Biological Science class on Tuesday morning. l................................... Campus Observer I Friday, December 4, 1959 ARTILLERY PARK The administration has been attempting to lease Artillery Park in Kingston for use as a Wilkes athletic field. The lease must be granted by the State, and as yet, several politicians in Harrisburg have neglected to sign the necessary papers. The lease, once granted, is to be of long duration. For this reason, the administration has made certain plans to renovate the entire grounds of Artillery Park. First, the grandstand will be torn down completely, with the possibility of using certain sections for bleachers. The main part of the park will become a football stadium, with other sections devoted to tennis courts and other athletic facilities. The grounds are in dire need of care, but once they are landscaped, they should remain in good condition. The bleachers on the grounds at present in center field may or may not be used, depending on their condition. The approval of the politicos in Harrisburg is expected at any time. As soon as these signatures are received, work will begin at the park. To the Observer's knowledge, no name has yet been selected for our new athletic field. The Observer suggests that students submit their ideas on names for the field to this column. These entries will be published in this column, at which time the student body will be asked to make a selection. The entry chosen by the student body will then be submitted to the administration for approval. POLICIES QUESTIONED Did you observe the assembly program this past Tuesday? Several prominent and pertinent questions were asked, but were not really answered as much as they were explained. Dean Ralston's statement that athletic scholarships are not given because of "policy" does not answer the question. WHY is "policy" against athletic scholarships? Dean Cole also excused herself very nicely when asked about the 9 o'clock curfew for freshman females. Dean Cole stated that it was "policy" here when she arrived, and she merely continued it. WHY is it "policy"? What is the reasoning behind these policies? Mr. Robert Morris was asked a question concerning the shortage of space. He answered that plans have been formulated to remedy the situation next semester, but that doesn't help the students now. These plans should have been made previous to the start of this semester last Semester. The assembly session was far too short to answer all the ·questions. This column will attempt to answer these questions in the near future. STUDENT MAIL ROOM The student mail room is located in the basement of Chase Hall. An occasional visit to this room by students, both day and dorm students, would clear out a backlog of mail that has accumulated since the beginning of the semester. DOCTOR?

Russian Students Visit Temple U.; Discuss Soviet Education System - - .... by Steve Cooney Twelve Russian college students visiting various colleges in the United States were dinner guests recently of the Temple University's Student Council. At the dinner meeting they revealed many interesting facets of Russian education. As you fully reali.ze, you read a letter pertaining to you and your methods, whih was written in extremely bad taste. It was amazing, that a college senior had the gall to write such a childish letter. To us, Dr. Reif, a gross injustice has been done to you. We know that the "poison pen" child who claims to be a mature individual represents not even one per cent of your students. As far as his proposed duel with you is concerned, it is evident that the individual is a frustrated hero who has been watching too many adult westerns. •Only a neurotic individual would have had the gumption to write a letter of that type. Dr. Reif, we're with you. (Names withheld by request) Appreciative Students. I • •• "We have no colleges of business, arts or sciences," one of them said. "In Russia, the university is divided into faculties, and the course of study is given completely by professors who are academic experts in one area." Upon graduation from high school the Russian students are given tests to determine what field of interest they should enter. Once a Soviet student begins university study, he is completely subsidiz ed by the state. The most gifted students receive extra benefits and are given preference in many ways.

All members of the student body and faculty are invited to bring their musical instruments and join with Jack Melton to play in this session. Dance music for this gala affair will be supplied by Melton's orchestra. The band will specialize in jazz. However, there will be plenty of slow dances for those who don't Charleston, Black Bottom, or Jitterbug. The "Ramble" will sport a theme of the "Roaring Twenties" with all its traditional "flappers," "bathtub gin" and jazz. The members of the sponsoring dorms will be att ired in costumes of the fabulous 30's. However, costumes are not ·equired. Decorations will center around the "~eakeasy" theme. The refreshment committee is planning to serve its version of bathtub gin from a real bathtub. Refreshments will be free; however, a donation of 49 cents will be asked at the door to help cover expenses.

Girls Get a Kick Out of Practice by Sandy Biber "One, two, three, tap, kick, knee kick, all together now, group." If you happen to pass by the Commons some evening you'll probably see a group of bermuda-clad coeds energetically kicking their heels in a sort of unison to the above directions. This group will perform its routines at athletic events, the Winter Carnival and any other function at which it is asked to perform. These girls have organized themselves into a "kick-line" under the leadership of Jan Bronson, junior in education from Sweet Valley. Miss Bronson, who is a transfer student from West Chester State Teachers College, was in a "kickline" there and decided to introduce the idea to Wilkes. This group, which consists of about 20 coeds practice every Monday and Wednesday from 7-8 p.m. on the second floor of the Commons. Most of the practice is concerned with coordination and precision. As any man probably knows it is pretty difficult to get 20 women to do the same thing at the same time and on time. Miss Patricia Lutz, sophomore in music education from Hazleton, is the a ccompanist for the kick-line.

The following appeared in the sports section of the Maryland "Diamondback" after the Wilkes upset victory over Susquehanna last month. "SENTIMENTAL FA VO RITE: Last Thursday the DBK predicted the outcome of 31 college gridiron clashes. Included was one small college game billed as a "sentimental favorite." In this one, favored Susquehanna played underdog Wilkes. The contest was printed strictly as a laugh. "The DBK sports staff picked Wilkes on the basis of a comparative score. The only common opponent for the two was Ursinus. Susquehanna had slaughtered Ursinus 63 to O while Wilkes had its hands full but finally won, 25-15. On this common ground it figured that Wilkes would be ground to ashes at the hands of Susquehanna. "Thus Wilkes illogically received the nod as the tearful choice. The result? You guessed it. Wilkes 12, Susquehanna 7. Amen brother, Amen." COLLEGE BEACON Shawneeites Defeat Honeymooners, 26-6; Take Touch Grid Title by George Tensa The Shawneeites caJptured their s e c o n d consecutive Intramural touch football championship by downing a game Honeymooner squad, 26-6. This contest was a ·'do or die" bid by both teams for league laurels as they ended the season with identical records of ti wins and 1 loss. John 1v1attey started the scoring when he pulled in a Clem Gavenas pass and scampered 45 yards !or the Honeymooner score. This run was one of the most exciting gallops of the season as "Crazy Legs' " broken field runnmg coruused the entire Shawneeite secondary. This was the lone score of the tirst quarter as the Shawneeite defense held and Ralph "the Toe" Hendershot's punting for the Honeymooners kept the Shawnee1tes deep in their own territory. Early in the second stanza Tom Pugh hit Don lVJ.attey with a 36yard pass and then arched a TD pass to "Tosh" Karmilowicz. The try for the extra point was unsuccessful and the score remained knotted, 6-6, at halftime, although the Honeymooners did muster another threat. This threat was thwarted .by George Tensa as he intercepted a pass in the end zone. Tensa struck again in the third quarter when he intercepted his third pass of the game and legged it into touchdown land. The play was set up by the hard charging Shawneeite line of Ronnie Roski, Yorath Evans, and 'Mountain Man' Salsburg. A pass for the extra point was successful when Tom Evans made a beautiful catch of a Walt Ciolek pass. The Shawneeites scored again in the third quarter after Clancy Dennis deflected a Honeymooner pass into the hands of Ken Thomas who returned the interception to the 20 yard line. Again the Pugh to Karmilowicz combo clicked and the Shawneeites enjoyed a 19-6 lead at the end of the third quarter. A "sleeper pass' from Walt Ciolek to Tom Pugh accounted for the fourth Plymouth score and Jim Stevens' pass to "Rabbit" Polanowski accounted for the extra point. The ,Shawneeites captured the crown with their valiant 26-6 vie tory and accepted a bid to oppose the Colonel football team in the Kernel Bowl.

The first quarter went scoreless with a strong Colonel line, boasting "Jungle Jim" Brunza and Freddy Williams, keeping the Shawneeites off balance and a Shawnee secondary knocking down Schutter's passes. Tom Krisulevicz scored for the Colonels early in the second quarter as he followed the "flying wedge" into the end zone. Rich Rees pulled extra point. Late in the same stanin a Marv Antinnes aerial for the za Bill Schutter hit Al Dobrowalski with a pass and behind some nice blocking by Ray Marchakaitus and "Mustang" Marv, Al scored the second TD. Score at halftime was 14-0 in favor of the Colonels. In the middle of the third quarter George Tensa intercepted a Colonel pass and this set up the Shawneeites' initial score. Tom Pugh hit Kenny Thomas and the lanky end outdistanced the Colonel defenders in a 65 yard pass play. The attempt for the extra point was blocked by Brunza. Late in the final stanza the Shawneeites scored again after Tom Pugh recovered a fumble on the six inch line. A pass from Ciolek to Karmilowicz accounted for the touchdown but again the attempt for the extra point failed and the game ended with the Colonels victorious, 14-12. T.D.R.

Colonel Bowlers Test Bloomsburg "Five" Girls' Basketball Season to Open by Lynne Dente Miss Marita Zoolkoski, girls' basketball coach, recently welcomed a banner turnout of 26 aspirants for the starting positions on the team. A schedule has been arranged and will include the teams of Moravian, Muhlenberg, and Misericordia. However, the girls saw action Wednesday in a scrimmage with Wyoming Seminary. Miss Zoolkoski, in her coaching debut, has some fine prospects to work with this season especially among the large turnout of frosh. She urges the students and faculty to lend their support to the team by attending both the home and away games. Home games will be played at the gymnasium and no admission will be charged. An unofficia.l Colonel bowling team travels to Bloomsburg on Sunday to tackle the Huskies of BSTC at the Midway Lanes. Both teams are composed of the leading scorers of each college's intramural bowling league. This is the first venture by either college into competiti ve bowling, a new idea in local intercollegiate sporting events. The match is billed as an "inter-intramural" affair, neither team having any official san ction or recognition as representative of its school. Plans are for the two teams to r: eet again in a return match in \'i ilkes-Barre within a short time. Site of the match will be the Jewish Comm unity Center, with Jimmy's Central Lanes and Kingston Lanes a s alternates in case of conflict. Repr esenting the Wilkes co-ed lea gue will be Dan Lewis, Emil Pet asek, Dave Sokira, Bill Watkins and Dick Myers. Alternate memt ers of the team are Fred Jacoby, Joh n a pi ego and Jerry Chisarick. Tea m members are reported to be in . est igating other matches to keep a ull schedule. One reason for the int er collegiate venture is to promote interest among the students in bowling, particularly in the int ra n:ural program. INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL NOTICE This is the final call for Intramural basketball rosters. Rosters plus captain's name must be turned in to Mr. Reese no later than December 11.

A clean sweep victory by the Gutterdusters over the Kingpins highlighted the events of the evening. The victory dropped the Kingpins from second to fourth place, and put the Gutterdusters, formerly in fourth place, into a second place tie with the Blitzkriegs. In other contests, the Blitzkriegs defeated the Flatballs, 3-1, and the Pinbusters copped three points from the Smashers. Dan Lewis and Bernie Shupp led their victorious Gutterdusters with a 200-559 and 170-486. Jerry Kulesa, 173-430, and Tom Dysleski, 157-418, were high for the losers. Fred Jacoby rolled a 235-529 to help his Blitz.kri egs in their drive for first .place. Dave Godsiskowski helped with a 179-487. John Mattey was high for the Flatba.Jls with a 189-501. Jerry Chisarick stayed close behind with a 194-484. Dave Sokira regained his old form Sunday as he toppled a 245617. Along with Emil Petrasek, 162-4'68, he enabled the Pinbusters to hold on to first place. John Sapiego, 175-462, and Mark Adelson, 155-437, were high men for the last place Smashers.

OPEN WITH VICTORY The Colonels defeated the Susquehanna Crusaders in their opening game Wednesday night, 73-66, on the latter's court. Wilkes grabbed a 43-38 halftime lead as a result of an all-court defense against the Crusaders whkh paid off in the point colu:nn for the Davismen. Susquehanna came back to tie the score in the second half at 5959, and then took the lead at 67-64. However, a last minute spurt by the Colonels brought the victory to Wilkes, 73-69. George Gacha was high man with 26 points, and Be:-n!e Radecki tallied 14 counters. Home Opener Eddie Davis' charges will give the home fans their first look at Wilkes basketball Monday night when they meet the Juniata Indians in the college gymnasium at 8:15. Coach Arnold Greene wel : omed back only two lettermen from last season's team which won 13 games while dropping 9. The returnees are Jack Heading, a junior from Johnstown, Pa. and Steve Gerlo: k, sophomore from Mount Union, _'a . Heading led the team in scorin 6 an J rebounding in his freshman yea . and should be the biggest threat in the Juniata lineup. Gerlo : k, standing at 6' 5", also is a '.lne scorer and a big man under the boards. The remainder of the lndiam' starting lineup is doubtful as Greene will have to dip into sophomore and freshman candidates to come up with a first five.

Because of the liberal turnout, the party was quite successful. General chairman for the affair was Bianca Moscato. Publicity was handled by Carol Tangora and arrangements for refreshments were made by Mary Ann Lee. An Oriental atmosphere was supplied by Chinese decorations and the Chapman girls wearing oriental apparel. Further adding to the Oriental flavor were Japanese low tables and cushions for those having refreshments. Dance music was provided by the Ambassadors. During the party, the Chapmanites presented an unparallelled floor show. Annette Barbini danced a jazz interpretation to begin the production. Her act was followed by two piano solos by Tom Hrynkiw. A hula and chorus line, composed of Chapman girls, were the climax of the extravaganza. by Doug Keating An open house will be held at Parrish and Chapman Halls, South River Street, this afternoon from four to six.

Jocelyn King and Betsy Hoeschle, residents of Weiss Hall, recently spent a week~nd at Renssalear Polytechnical Institute, Troy, New York. It was R.P.I.'s annual Homecoming weekend. Pat Fushek, senior Elementary Education major, and Joan Leggetts and Diane Yudiskas, junior secondary Education majors, attended a meeting of the lntercollege Education Association at the University of Scranton. Applications for loans for the coming spring semester will be available on the first floor of Chase Hall today until December 18. A sample application will also be ost ed. Any student who has a -;uestion regardin g the loans should :ee Mr. Morris, whose office is located on the first floor of Chase Hall. A co.mmittee composed of most of the members of the administra°tion will evaluate the a,pplications. Grants will be made on the basis of need, and each candidate must have an a Yerage of at least 1.85. The application of any student whose grades are in doubt will be held until the grades for the present semester are received in order to make a fair evaluation. Although some preference will be given to students majoring in education, engineering, mathematics, n:odern foreign languages, or science, the basic criterion for determining who shall receive a loan will be the n eed of the student. If a student who receives a loan becomes a teacher in a public elementary or secondary school a fter graduation, the paym·ent of his loan will be reduced 10 per cent a year up to a maximum of 50 p er cent. For example, if a student borrows $1 ,000 over a period of four years and enters the t ea : hing Deld, his payment will be reduced ,,100 plus interest every year for his first five years of teaching. The remaining $500 may be paid within ten years after graduation. It should also be noted that interest does not accrue while the student is in college, in graduate school, or in the armed forces for a period up to three years, nor does r~avment begin during this period. If a person who make a loan becomes disabled or dies, the unpaid °l:::alance of the loan is cancelled. If a student transfers to another college which is participating in this program, the student's records regarding the loan will also be transferred.

He stated that the suggestion had been made for selling individual student patron tickets at $1.00 per person. This subject was taken up by Jim Stephens, chairman of the School Spirit Committee, who said that the committee had a wide representation from the clubs and classes; therefore, it would be willing to undertake the patron ticket project. Because of the abundance of last year's Amnicola still remaining in the bookstore, it was suggested that all students be reminded that they are entitled to a yearbook free of charge. It is part of their tuition paid for each semester. Winter Carnival Discussion of the Winter Carnival presented at the meeting included sites for the affair. Pocono Mountain Inn and Onawa Lodge are the only two places out of nine approached that can handle the Carnival on the date planned. The choosing of the site has been tabled until the special meeting of the Student Government next Tuesday night. Chairmen of the various committees have been chosen by the cochairmen of the Winter Carnival, Mike Armstrong and Dick Barnes. They are as follows: program, George Reynolds; publicity, Judy Butchko· chaperons, Cynthia Dysleski; a;d music Rh ea Politis. Report on the car caravan showed that 30 cars participated with over 100 students going along for the ride. The comments were many and favorable on both the decorated cars and the spirit of the students. The Policies Committee of the Student Government has set up their proposals on school calendar and events along with other programs and will mimeograph these for next Tuesday's special meeting. At that time they will be voted on by Student Government members. The minutes of each Student Government meeting are also mimeographed. One copy is posted on the bulletin board and others are placed in the mail boxes of all campus organizations. Dick Salus suggested that there be a Student Leaders' Conference some time in January before the committee of evaluation visits the college in February of next year. This proposed meeting will be held some time in January of next year. Because of a conflict in schedule, the Freshman dance date was moved up from February 26, 1960 to December 4, 1959. This unprecedented move was approved by the Student Government. Gordon Rob erts made the suggestion that the Christmas vacation All-College Dance, sponsored by the Student Government should be handled by the underclassmen members of the government. This proposal received approval from the group of representatives, and in particular, the senior m embers.

WILKES COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA All-College Dance 'Beatnik Bop' Next Friday Night Seeks Area Group Offers Poetry, Collegians to Sing; No Admission Charge To Gala Holiday Affair NEXT ASSEMBLY FEATURES 1 HARRY TREBILCOX, PIANIST Mr. Harry Trebilcox, pianist, ' will present a musical program at i next Tuesday's Assembly program. Harry Trebilcox, a native of Trucksville, Pa., form erly a student of Wilkes College, is a graduate of the Eastman School of Music, Rochester, N.Y. While at the Eastman School, he contracted paralytic polio with the tragic result that it left his right arm paralyzed. He did not turn away from his major interest, the study of the piano, but continued to develop his left hand. The repertoire of works for the left hand alone is extremely limited, and it was for this reason that Mr. Trebilcox began making transcriptions of works for the left hand. His program will consist of his transcription of "The Pictures At An Exhibition" by Modeste Moussorgsky. Moussorgsky, one of the famous Russian "Five", was inspired to write this suite after viewing a set of paintings by the artist Alexandre Hartmann. The original paintings have long since disappeared, but Moussorgsky's suite lives as one of the most popular of music in the piano literature.

The discerning reader of the 1959-60 Beacon will note that the Page One headline stories have not been about the weekly dances until this week. The reason for that is simple. We prefer to have greater space given to stories concerning the role of the College in the Community, the activities of organizations which best publicize the College's attempts to take an active role as a source of cultural development, and put feature storiesconcerning regular dances-in the feature section, Page Four of a four-page edition. The exception this week is that the personalities involved in tonight's dance are NEWS. While we don't intend to suggest that the Beacon staff advocates "Beatnik" tendencies, we do see this night's activities as a possible source of real amusement and entertainment enhanced by the appearance of a prominent jurist and a popular radio personality. In addition, some faculty members are also going along with the fun and will take active part in the intermission program. We don't imply that we will automatically reject a dance story as Page One material but if such affairs are given advance publicity consisting only of the names of committees, the name of the band and a brief description of the decorations, its news value is limited and it will receive feature treatment. When a great deal of planning, originality and unique "gimmicks" are part of the advance news, we will go out of our way to see that ambition to present a different program is amply rewarded by all the space we can afford it. Friday night dances are a wonderful thing for the College, giving all people from a variety of interests a chance to gather at the same time on common ground. Those sponsoring these social calendar dates have an obliga'lion as well as a chance to make a little money for their organizations. The responsibility is simply to provide an interesting night for the people who make the treasury-fattening activities a success or a failure. Give the entertainment-seekers something to interest and entertain them and he affair can hardly help being a financial as well as social success. We think tonight's program may well fall into that category. We can only hope that every Friday night dance will offer as much. • • • ♦ ♦ ♦ • • • • • • • • ♦ • • Letters To The Editor: + • ♦ ♦ ♦ • • ♦ • • ♦ ♦ ♦ • ♦ • • • Dear Mr. Editor : Mr. Roberts' recent letter gives much additional information about the procedure involved in initiating the scholarship fund, but it does not answer the basic issue: tuition money is being used for a different purpose from that stated in the college catalogue. The Student Government's role may have been no more than to carry out the suggestion of the administration, but this is of little consequence. What is important that funds that might have been and ought to have been used to enrich the program of the entire student body have been diverted to a program that benefits only a very few individuals, worthy as that program might be. This matter assumes its importance when we consider the source of the money.

BOOST THE BEATNIKS Have you observed several students, all male, walking around campus with a large growth of hair on their faces? These persons are, of course, preparing for the Beatnik Bop which will take place tonight at the gym. Bill Shupert of " Shupert 's Alley" fame will judge the beards and pick a winner.

This ended the Shawneeites winning skein at thirteen games over the last two seasons. Two-Letter Man Excels Also As Grappling Ace, Choice for MAC Honors This week's recipient of the Beacon's "Athlete of the Week" award is Joe Morgan. His aggressive play brought a frustrated Wilkes soccer squad from defeat to a tie with a highly-charged Lycoming squad. "Tiger," as he is known by his aggressive play, carried the soccer team through an "off" season and his general attitude of sports on and off the field is tops. A gentleman and true sportsman have made Joe one of Wilkes' top athletes and a rr:an we all can be proud of. Although the soccer team enjoyed little success this season, Joe's play salvaged a few strands of victory. His "never-give-up" attitude led the young soccer squad to many close contests and his example has earned much praise for himself and Wilkes. Joe earned All-Conference honors for the past three seasons at halfback and should be a top contender for the position again. Soccer isn't Joe's only athletic endeavor as he is one of Coach Reese's top grapplers and will serve as captain of this year's wrestling team. Last season he The Shawneeites drew "first blood" when Ron Roski caught an aerial from Tom Pugh and outraced the Honeymooner secondary to the goal line. The score was set up when "Tosh" Karmilovich intercepted a Clem Gavenas pass. Clem Gavenas drew the Honeymooners into the scoring column soon after when he hit "Chopper" Ontko with a touchdown pass and then put the Honeymooners into the lead by hitting "Daddy" Radecki with an extra point toss. Joe Morgan was partly responsible for the undefeated season and captured third place in the 137-lb. class of the M.A.C. Joe is married to a very pretty form er Wilkes coed and this year they were blessed with a baby girl. Joe resides in Forty Fort. Before coming to Wilkes, Joe attended Girard College where he lettered on the wrestling team all four years. He also captained the grapplers in his senior year.

The Lycoming game marked the end of the season for the Wilkes soccer team, the final record being one win (over Muhlenberg, 1-0), seven losses, and three ties.

Sporting Goods, 28 North Main Street For the past three weeks coaches Eddies Davis and Al Goldberg have been putting their '59-'60 edition of the Wilkes basketball team through their drills for the season's opener against a strong Susquehanna squad on the latter's court. This year's Colonel squad should improve last year's 9-11 record and will be a strong contender for the MAC crown. Some of this year's Davismen who will see plenty of action are: co-captains George Gacha and Bernie Radecki. Gacha, although deadly with his jump shot, will again be called upon to be the playma,ker while Radecki should again be one of the scoring leaders. The two tallest men on the squad are veterans Ron Roski and Bernie Kosch. Roski, who stands 6' 4", will again be counted on to control the backboards but will receive much help this year from 6' 6" "Moose" Kosch. Two returning juniors from last year's team are Clem Gavenas and Barry Yokum. Both of these "outof-towners" are probable starters with Gavenas having the inside track because of his scoring ability. Among the returning veterans seeking a starting forward berth are John Salsburg and Don Mattey. Salsburg, a junior from Harter, is a topnotch rebounder while "Walrus" Mattey from Hanover combines his soft-touch shots with aggressive rebounding in his bid for a starting berth. Eddie Kemps is one of Coach Davis' better ball handlers and will see lots of action along with Tom Pugh and George Tensa, both fro!ll Plymouth. The top losses to the squad are Fran Mikolanis, who last year earned three berths on the AllEast team for his scoring ability, and Ray Y anchus, one of the squad's best cornermen, who was injured playing football, and may miss part of the season. Among the top freshmen are Phil Russo from Exeter, Garry Vanderberg from Plains, Lee W ashuleski from Dupont, and Harvey Rosen fr om Brooklyn. • ki Star; HeWJ•tt, GaJeWS TOp Three TeafflS FaII, PiIlbUSterS Lead bYOne 1 by John Nork The Pinbusters' lead was cut to one game Sunday night when the F latballs defea ted them, 3-1. The Kingpins gained sole possession of s e c o n d place, defeating the Smashers, 3-1. The Gutterdusters slipped into fourth place after suffering a 3-1 defeat at the hands of the Blitzkriegs. The victory put the Blitzkriegs into third place, only two games out of first. The race is a tight one and first place can still be an ybody's prize. As the season progresses, the bowlers can look forward to many an exciting match. Emil Petrasek, one part of the 1-2 punch for the Pinbusters, again proved to be the big gun of his team as he roll ed a 181-495. Staying close behind was the other half of the punch, Dave Sokira, with a 177-460. However, the effects of this blow were not seen Sunday as the Finbusters went down in defeat. Jerry Chisarick proved to be a powerful factor in his Flatballs' victory with a 192-503. Dick Barber pitched in with a 199-501.

At the last meeting of the organization officers for the 1960 school year were nominated and at tomorrow's meeting the election will take place. Joan Leggetts, a junior secondary education major at Wilkes, has been nominated to the vice-presidency of the regional SPSEA organization. Each college chapter is allowed five votes in the election, and representatives from all liberal arts and state teachers colleges in the northeastern area will take part in the election. Retiring officers for the year are: Bob Kearns, Scranton University, president; Kathleen Purcell, Marywood, vice-president; Pat Fushek, Wilkes, secretary-treasurer. Name Has Been Changed In case the name of the organization or the symbols - SPSEA do not seem familiar, it was formerly known as the Student Education Association of P ennsylvania, or the SEAP, but at a recent meeting the name was changed by a unanimous vote of the members. The group felt that since it is the student chapter of the PSEA, it should adopt the name of the parent organization. e PENN BARBER SHOP e Next Door to Y.M.C.A. 4 Barbers at Your Service Jamea J.

While Shupert doesn't pretend to be a member of the "beat generation," he can see that there is lot of good fun to be had at this dance and he wants to be in the picture. Having recently shed his own beard, he has a soft spot in his heart for the lads who are raising their beat beards for the contest and wants to be around to see that the best fuzz wins. Moreover, he's heard the crazy news that a couple of Wilkes profs are going to spout off during interml·ss1·on, reading beatnik poetry and singing folk-ballads in the Burl Ives manner. That's not all. Just about everyone going to the dance is eligible to compete for a prize for the best "beat" costume. Even the Blue Notes, whose live music will provide the dancing before the intermission high-jinks, will save their dirty T-shirts and berets to lend the proper atmosphere. Rumor has it that the profs entertaining immediately before the contest judging include maybe even a Ph.D. or two. You think you've seen Friday night dances at Wilkes? Man, this beatnik thing's going to top them all. Although the planners haven't committed themselves yet, they think that some of the proceedings may get on Channel 22's news programming, too, if technical requirements are ironed out properly. Of course, all this isn't news to you night-owls who listen to Shupert's Alley. He's been talking it up on the show. Well, like, listen. Hear for yourself and join the fun next Friday.

United Fund Drive Final Figures Revealed, College Gives $4400 In a report released by Dr. Charles Reif, director of th e Wilkes United Fu nd Drive, it was disclosed th at contributions have exceeded th e proposed goal of $4000. The combined contributions of the students, faculty, and administration amount to $4428.20. By far the greater portion of donations came from the members of the administration and faculty. This group presented the Fund with $3607.50. The gifts from the student body fell far short of the goal of $1500. A total of $820. 70 was donated by the students. This compares unavorably with the $892.78 given by students last year. The social sendoff of the drive on campus, the Freshman United Fund Dance, netted a profit of $152 which was turned over to the UF. Only 54 per cent of the student goal was reached. The student body of King's College contributed 25 per cent more to the United Fund Drive. Supers11·11·on Is No Excuse TQ Mar CQIIege BIQQ dprogram by Cynthia Hagley . Today is the day people are prone to follow age-old superstitions. They avoid black cats, step cautiously around ladders, handle mirrors with care, and leave their moonwatching to other nights. Time, however, has proved these superstitions to be unfounded and utterly ridiculous. Today people spill salt, drop s1•1verware and enact ot h er ta b oos without any qualms because they know they will realize no harm from these ant1·quated v1·01ations. ture it is going to be converted into a dormitory for boarding students. There is also a strong possibility that Stark Hall will be expanded to cover the territory behind the Bennett building. This expansion will allow increased facilities for the research laboratories.

With an eye to the future and following th e program of expansicn already initiated, the College has also purchased the building at 157 South Franklin Street. This building, more popularly known as "the other half of 159 South Franklin Street," brings the total nu mber of buildings now owned by the College to twenty-nine. There are no permanent plans for the buil d ing because it is going to be completely demolished, but after th e b u i l d in g has been destroyed, a lawn will be planted on the grounds, and a driveway will be built which will serve as the South Franklin Street entrance to Stark Hall. one supers t 1·t·10n remams · · prom1nent on all of our hori·"ons. Per-~ haps its greatest harm is that it affects more than just one person. This common superstition is that giving blood hurts. Why is this superstition harmful? Because it not only keeps people capable of giving blood from donating it, but it also deprives someone who needs the blood from having it. If superstitions were rated as to truthfulness this one would be put under the heading Absurdity. The prospective blood donors of Wilikes will shun one of the biggest wives' tale in the world when they congregate at the blood center behind the Red Cross building between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. today. Their contribution of blood will help fill the annual quota of four million bottles of blood needed in this country every year to treat ill and injured.

This local blood center serves forty-three hospitals in the Northeastern Pennsylvania region. The center makes regular weekly deliveries to these hospitals and emergency deliveries in extreme cases. Thirty-two American Red Cross chapters around Luzerne County bring their donations to the Blood center in Wilkes-Barre. In the fiscal year starting July 1, 1957 and ending June 30, 1958, residents donated 38,031 pints of blood. Some of this went in the Civil Defense collection of blood, but most stayed right in Wyoming Valley for local use. Nine counties and areas fulfilled 90 to 100 per cent of their quota in donations. Students of Wilkes will be doing their part to help Luzerne County reach its goal. NESBITT NURSES Chapman Hall Girls Planning Open House CCUN NOTICE Congressman Daniel J.

The scene is delightful; every year people look forward to it and glory in the beauties of the season. But, the falling leaves foreshadow the coming of Winter. A hint of snow and frigid, blustery weather is evident in the brisk air of Autumn. Winter sports enthusiasts look forward to the snow, but they join everyone in dreading snow's effect on highway's. Soon we are going to have a holiday; maybe there will be some snow with it. The National Safety Council will take all this into consideration and predict-with distressing accuracythe number of people who will die in traffic during that festive period. Premature with our warning? Perhaps we are, but Safety has no time limits. We cannot sit by, idly nodding approval of the experts' forecasts of highway slaughter. We must say something to add to the warnings of the experts, whose warnings often go unheeded. In the first eight months of 1959, 23,810 people died in traffic. Over 800,000-nearly a million people! - have suffered disabling injuries in that period. Property was damaged to the extent of $1.85 billion! Mere figures, of course, do not tell the complete story. Appalling though the numbers may be, they cannot begin to tell the story of broken hearts, broken homes, orphaned children forced into lives of insecurity and despair. Only the actual experience can really give us an idea of the frightiul waste caused by traffic accidents. We don't think that having that experience is a good way to appreciate the need for safe driving, however. This year we are joining the Advertising Council in its FallWinter Stop Accidents Campaign. The same people who give us "Smokie" the Bear and other public service advertising have provided the Beacon with the safety posters we will display from time to time. We hope our readers know enough about the dangers of careless driving to make the publication of such material superfluous. We know better, however. Even the most careful driver has lost his temper from time to time, or has been bothered by a problem at the office, or has been fed up with _his mother-in-law or a million and one other distracting mental problems. These are the careful, sober, upright citizens who find themselves suddenly, viciously, agonizingly thrown into ·,he horrors of highway accidents. They are sensible people, but Death isn't particular. He awaits the first mistake. When Te~per takes the wheel, safety slips away. Stay sane, stay ahve. Make every day safety day. Let Us Know Next week will be the last issue of the Beacon until December 4. We make this clear now to avoid misunderstandings later. Every reasonable effort is made to cooperate with the publicity needs of campus affairs; nothing is refuse~ when the requests meet with our requirements of space and time. . To continue with this cooperation, we make the remmder of the week's gap in publishing on account of Thanksgiving holiday. Anyone who has any event scheduled between the dates November 14 and December 3 should make every effort to see . that the Beacon is notified in order to insure adequate coverage. We try to get all the news, and we get all that people tell us about, but we're not .clairvoyant. People who keep details of their activities a secret run the risk of having nobody there when the event takes place. Help us to help you. "I was fighting mad . . •" Too often the innocent suffer when tem1,er's at the 'W'heel! When another driver burns you up-cool off! Losing your head can cost you control of your car, make an innocent party a victim of your spite. Last year traffic accidents brought death to 37,000 people, p ainful injuries to hundreds of thousands more. Too many were innocent victims of good drivers who momentarily let emotion blindfold judgment. When all your mind's on driving, you'll be a safer driver. Letter to the Editor ... • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • ♦ • Dear Mr. Editor: In reply to a letter of Miss Feinstein which appeared in last week's Beacon, I would like to state that Miss F einstein did not present a factual view of the issues raised, simply because she did not have th e fa ct s. Her first question was : "Does the Student Go vernment have power to appropriate funds specifically allocated to it for the purpose of maintaining student activities to a project that can hardly be conceived of as an extracurricular activity ?" Her second question was: "Is there a reason why the balance of the 1958 - 1959 extra-curricular budget could not have been added to this year's grant, thus making a vailable to students, through their activities, money taken from their tuition for that purpose?" · At this point Miss Feinstein states, "Let us consider the first question. Does the Student Government have power to change the purpose for which funds were granted them ? " If one looks closely at Miss Feinstein's first stated question and then at the one she wants to consider as the first question it becomes obvious that they are not identical; therefore, the answers to them will obviously not be the same. We, therefore, now have three questions: Question 1: The answer to this question is that the Student Government did not appropriate the balance of $655.88 to an extracurricular activity, that is, the scholarship fund. The Student Government was advised by the Administration of Wilkes College to use this figure for scholarships. It should ·be pointed out that at all times the Student Government is handling funds appropriated to it by Wilkes College. Therefore, when there is a balance at the end of a fiscal year this balance is automatically absorbed by the college general fund. That is what happened this past year; howe ver, because the Student Government did have a balance of $655.88, we were advised by Dr. Farley to use this amount for scholarships. This is to say that the Student Government actually had a credit of $655.88 with the Administration, and that the administration, through Dr. Farley, advised using this credit for scholarships. The answer to question 2 is yes. The reason is that such a balance never existed but was automatically absorbed bv the college general fund. The Student Government simply had a credit of $665.88 and was advised to direct this credit for scholarships. The answer to Miss Feinstein's third question is that the Student Government never did nor never assumed to have the power to change the purpose for which funds were granted to it. The funds granted to the Student Government were used at all times, for the specific purpose of maintaining student activities. I would like to point out that Student Leaders Conferences, and Student Government meetings are open to all students who have questions and who would like to have them factually answered. The n ext meeting of the Student Government is No vember 17th at 6:00 p.m. on the second floor of the Bookstore. It is my hope, also, that these issues may be discussed before the entire student body on December 1st, at the Roving Mike Assembly Program. Student Government President Respectfully, Gorden E.

Campus Observer I Friday, November 13, 1959 rPRIVA!c lo fl HONESTY - THE BEST POLICY Miss Dworsiki, French instructor, used the Honor System to give tests to French 101 classes. With the students' cooperation, Miss Dworski gave the same tests to both sections. Students in both sections promised not to reveal anything about the exams. Miss Dworski soon learned that certain unscrupulous persons did give information to the other classes. Because of this, she can no longer place trust in these classes. If she has enough faith in the students to trust them, you, as students, should not misuse this trust. You are the only ones who can redeem yourselves. Remember, "Honesty is the best policy." The above is only one example why Wilkes does not have an honor system. You can't ha ve an honor system without honor. It is only the minority that prohibits the establishment of an honor system. QUALITY, NOT QUANTITY Why don't the various clubs and organizations on campus band together and hold one big, well-planned dance? If all the clubs would join together, they could finance a big name band. This would give more quality and less quantity to the social activities. Quality is the desired factor which has been absent from many of the activities. PARKERS BEW AREi Student parking has always been a problem. This problem has turned into n predicament, growing worse every day. When students move cars to provide an exit for theii- own car, they are expected to return the other cars to the parking lot. This is not being done. Cars are being left on the sidewalk, on the street, and in 'no parking' zones. There is enough trouble about parking fa cilities already, without parking tickets and summonses being issued by the police department. If the parking problems continue, the administration may further limit the students allowed to park on campus. Dick Myers, editor-in-chief of the Beacon, has found his own solution to the parking problem; he still has not purchased a car. This is not r ecomm ended as the answer to the problem, but it may come to this unless the situation vastly improves. Yours truly, The Observer WHAT . . . WHERE . . . WHEN ...

The Shaw play will be presented "in the round," as are all of the King's productions. In the Theatre in the Round method, the audience is seated on all four sides of the playing area and through intimate contact with the actors almost feel that they are a part of the production. Tickets for this season's opener are $1.00 and can be purchased at the door or r eserved in advance by callin~ King 's College (VA 4-5731). Curtam for all three evenings will be at 8:30. Coincidence Occurred One of the most unusual circumstances involving this production is the fact that our own Cue 'n' Curtain had made plans to do this same play next semester. Play books had been ordered and the technical crew had alre~dy begun to draw up temporary staging and costume plans. While all these arrangements were being made at both King's and Wilkes, neither college knew that the other was planning to produce the same play. This is the first time in the history of the two colleges that such a coinciden ce has occurred. When Mr. Alfred Groh C 'n' C advisor, was contacted' by the Beacon he said that he had not yet decided whether or not to continue with plans to do the play. Mr. Groh pointed out that it has never been the intention of either drama tic group to compete in any way and .by doing the same play in th~ same year, audiences seeing both might compare one production with the other, defeating the purposes of the two dramatic groups. Mr. Groh also pointed out that the fact that the Cue 'n' Curtain production of "Major Barbara" had been scheduled for May six months from now - which might allow the Wilkes theatre group to continue with their plans and thereby not lose any of the money already invested in the production. ~~ SIGN OF GOOD TASTE Bottled under authorify of The Coca-Cola Company by KEYSTONE COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY Wllk. .Barre, Pa.

Mount Airy and Pocono Manor were two of the possible locations, but other possibilities will be considered. Last year's bad weather resulted in extremely crowded indoor facilities, since these were not intended to accomodate the huge crowd of people attending the Carnival. Hence, the prime consideration in selecting the site will be indoor space. For people who prefer the outdoors, a larger ice-skating area and outdoor sports area will ali10 be provided. _______ Blood Donor Day Friday the Thirteenth, Big Turnout Sought by Cynthia Hagley Friday the thirteenth, a black day for all superstitious people, will not present a gloomy face on campus this month. Instead it will give Wilkes students the opportunity to give blood to the regional Red Cross center. The hours for donation will be from 9:45 a.m. till 2:45 p.m. Since the attendants give juice, a sandwich, and a cup of coffee to every donor, it is suggested that the students visit the center before lunch. This Blood Donor Day will be the eighteenth since the campaign began on campus. The greatest turnout was in December of 1952 when 136 people were present. Compare this to last May's turnout of 31 students. In the past 17 collections Wilkes has given 1250 pints of blood. This averages up to approximately 73½ pints per Donor Day. The past two contributions have fallen far short of this average. Blood can be given by any student under 21 with their parents' permission. Forms for this release can be obtained at Mr. Reese's office. Students over 21 have no such forms to fill out and may drop by at any time. dent Education Association of Pennsylvania at a regular fall busit ness mee ing.

The Colonels rose on their toes and swung a mighty sabre to unseat the Crusaders in a 12-7 upset win. Susquehanna had been riding the crest of a spectacular season, averaging 40 points per game offensively while holding the opposition to a total of 28, and had amassed a record of 3 wins against 1 loss. Wilkes showed the signs of a truly tough competitor, though they dropped behind early in the contest, but came on strong late in the game when tqe chips were down. The Crusaders jumped off to a quick lead when they scored in the fird period on a run by halfback John Yanuklis around right end. The extra point was made by center Tom Sa:ttuel to ma!ce it 7-0. The Colonels battled the rest of the first half as their offense sputtered along. Finally, with less than a minute remaining in the second stanza, Wilkes dro ve to the Susquehanna 18, but time ran out at that point. The Tide Turns The Blue and Gold defense unit really came alive in the third quarter as they pushed the Crusader attack back into their own territory where they remained for the rest of the contest. An intercepted pass by halfback Tom Krisulevicz turned into the first Wilkes break of the game. Two plays later end Ray Marchakaitus grabbed a short pass t hrown by Bill Schutter and broke away from a sure tackle going to · the Crusader 6 yard line. A _penalty moved the bail to the 3 and fullback Marv Antinnes drove over for the score to make it 7-6. A pass for the extra point was knocked down in the end zone. Wilkes came back again at the start of the final period when Antinnes grabbed off a Crusader pass and returned it to the Susquehanna 32. A series of ground plays, with Antinnes and Krisulevicz doing most of the heavy work, moved the ball to the 2. Antinnes dove into paydirt for what proved to be the winning score. Both TD's cam e within 5 minutes. Defense Contains Foe There was still 11 minutes remaining when Wilkes tallied their second touchdown, but the defensive play of the Colonels made the seconds tick off faster and faster as the Susquehanna offens·e bogged down deep in their own territory. The Crusaders were unable to get past their own 30 yard line in the fourth quarter, and were held to one first down during that time. The Colonel secondary played heads up ball throughout the second half as they stifled the Susquehanha passing attack with 4 timely interceptions, three of them coming in the final frame. The line play of the forward wall was slightly above tremendous all afternoon and the fast rushes put on by the "up front guys" made ( continued on page 3) �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Blood Donor Day November 13 Blood Means Lite If medical requirements for whole blood are to be met during the coming year, one out of every 20 people in the nation will be needed as a blood donor. The use of blood and blood fractions in medical practice will continue to grow as new discoveries are made. Every healthy man or woman can safely donate blood five times a year. Giving blood is safe and easy. Receiving blood means life to thousands each year. Make it a habit to donate blood regularly - give the ill and injured an extra chance for life.

After having attended the October 20th meeting, two questions came to mind concerning Student Government activities in this area. The first question is: Does the Student Government have power to appropriate funds specifically allocated to it for the purpose of maintaining student activities to a project that can hardly be conceived of as an extra-curricular activity? The second question: Is there a reason why the balance of the 19581959 extra-curricular budget could not have been added to this year's grant, thus making available to students through their activities money taken from their tuition for that purpose? Let us consider the first question. Does the Student Government have power to change the purpose for which funds were granted them? According to the Wilkes College Bulletin, included in the tuition fee of $3•25 is a charge for maintaining student activities. This is made available to the Student Government through an annual grant. According to the Constitution of the Student Government, Article II, Section 2, this body may draft a budget of appropriations for recogni,zed activities. At the close of last year, a balance of $655.88 remained in the Student Activities Fund. Evidently this money did not have to be returned to the general college fund, but remained in the hands of the Student Government, for at the beginning of the fall semester, this money was appropriated by the Student Government to form four scholarships. While the motives of the Student Government are not questioned, the issue remains that money alloted for student activities from student tuition was used for an entirely different purpose. Nowhere in the Student Government Constitution is this au tho r it y granted. This brings us to the second question : Why was not last year's balance of $·655.88 added to this year's grant to make all the money allotted from student tuition, past and present, available to students for their extra-curricular activities since the money is taken for that purpose? The size of the ExtraCurricular Activities grant for 1939-6·0 is $13,600. The total request by organizations was $14,919. Apparently cuts totaling $1319.35 had to be made - and they were. Had, however, the $655.88 remaining from last year been used for its proper purpose, the difference might have been cut by more than one-half. This would not mean that Wilkes extracurricular activities are too big for the budget, but that maximum use is being made of available funds. This cannot be done if funds are allowed to be diverted to worthy, but not appropriate channels. Respectfully, Roberta Feinstein To the Students: As Executive Secretary of the Alumni Association, may I extend, on behalf of the Alumni Association, a heartfelt thanks for a job well done. In spite of the inclement weather, the spirit of Homecoming prevailed through both alumni and student activities and helped to make the week-end a success.

Coffee will be available from 9 to 11 a.m. in dormitory side of cafeteria. There are only three rules that must be observed. They are: 1. Students must remain on dormitory side when having coffee. 2. Students must remove dishes when they are finished. 3. Day students are not allowed this facility. The purpose of this canteen is to provide coffee for dormitory students that miss breakfast. The student body must follow the above mentioned rules, or the canteen will be stopped.

These students constitute the cheering section and other students who travel to the a'."ay games. Approximately two-hundred fifty students traveled to Selmsgrove, Pa., last Saturday. Wilkes was represented at the P.M.C. game by about two hundred students. In these students, school spirit is a living, growing thing. But a small group cannot, and should not, represent the school spirt for this college. If the rest of the student body would only have a fraction of the spirit expressed by these f ew, we would not have need for a school spirit committee. A committee can not arouse spirit where there is none. This is not to ~ay that there is no school spirit here ; rather, it is lying dormant. Lets remove ourselves from this stagnant pool of "do-nothingness." Moral Re-Armament Seen By Student Columnists by Michael Bianco and Gordon Roberts THERE IS AN ANSWER . This is the first in a series of articles designed to present the issue facmg the world today. This column is dedicated to presenting not who is right but what is right. From a historical point of view many thousands of years ago there was an Ice Age, then a Stone Age, and then 5000 B.C. the world enterec' the Bronze Age and then ,t he Iron Age. Only 180 years ago mar harnessed steam-power and ushered in the Industrial Age. And now today, we are in the Ideological Age. You'll only understand what i~ going on in the world when you understand an ideology. . An ideology i~ a faith which grips m en and nations. It gives a philosophy, a passion, and a plan to change the world and it creates the force of people ~o do it. There are two ideologies bidding for the world today. One is Moral Re-Amament which believes that God's mind should control the world through human nature that has been changed; the other is communism which believes that man's mind should control the world through human nature which has been exploited. One or the other must win. Admiral William H. Standley, former Chief of Naval Operations and United States Ambassador to Moscow, stated this point clearly when he said, "the choice for America is Moral Re-Armament or Communism." William Penn put the alternative of Moral Re-Armament or Communism explicitly when he said, "Men must choose to be governed by God or they condemn themselves to be ruled by tyrants." . A closer l?ok at Communism will show that it is an ideology, an idea that dommates the whole of a person, his motive, his thinking his living, and he fights with a strategy to get everyone else to li v~ the same way. It cannot be met on the military or economic level alone but only by a superior ideology. Moral Re-Armament is that superior ideology with a superior strategy because it meets the needs of the whole man and it is available for all men everywhere, non-communist and communist alike. It is for more than an answer to Communism . Radio Moscow violently assailed this idea when it said, "Moral Re-Arament is a global ideology with bridge-heads in every nation in its final phase of total expansion throughout the world. It has the power to capture and change radical revolutionary minds. It is contaminating and upsetting the minds of the masses. It substitutes for the inevitable class struggle the eternal struggle of good and evil." To bring an answer to the world's problems there are absolute standards one must apply in daily living. It is because we do not apply absolute honesty, absolute purity, absolute unselfishness, and absolute love in our daily lives that society is in danger of collapse. Why absolute? Because the world needs an authority to accept. A standard must be absolute or it is not a standard and who would want a parachute that almost opens? To find an answer for the world the best place to star t a chang e is within yourself. Remember - when you point your finger at your neighbor there are three more pointing back at you. The fact is that human nature can be changed, that is the root of the answer. National economy can be changed, that is the fruit of the answer. World history can be changed, that is the destiny of our age. Absolute honesty, honest apology, is the high road to lasting peace; absoluate purity, a great cleansing force through nations ; absolute unselfishness, there is enough in the world for everyone's need but not enough for everyone's greed; absolute love, if everyone cared enough and everyone shared enough, everyone would have enough.

Each year, many people travel to central city to walk or drive around the campus to view the displays but, unfortunately, Mother Nature frown ed on us before very many people were able to see them. In my opinion, the displays were the fin est we have had. To the queen and her princesses, go our congratulations - and our sorrow that more people were not able to see the pageantry that is so much a part of Homecoming weekend and so thrilling for the queen. We cannot help but feel that you were cheated of a wonderful experience. To the men who worked so hard planning the Car Parade and the half-time c e rem on i e s, go our thanks. The program was worked out so diligently and t imed so carefully that it could not have been unsuccessful. We, of the Alumni Association thank you once again for your interest and enthusiasm which mad r our Twelfth Annual Homecoming a complete success. I hope that next year Mother Nature will be a little more kind to us. Sincerely, Russell R.

Those who will have room in their cars for additional passengers are asked to sign the notice posted on the bulletin board. All those who need a ride to Scranton should come to the Parrish Hall parking lot at 8 :30 on the morning of the game. A police escort will accompany the caravan en route to the stadium.

Frank Edwards Catlinl Engineers Cop Display Prizes Chapman, Hollenback, Bio Club Runnersup by RalJ}h Price The rains which prevailed all through homecoming w e e k e n d dampened everything but the spirit of the students. They simply ignored the dampness and set up some of the finest homecoming displays seen in quite a while. The first prize for the best girls' dormitory display went to Catlin Hall. Their exhibit depicted a Lycoming Warrior being " emulsified" by a huge drop of Lestoil. This was topped by a sign upon which was the slogan "Emulsify Lycoming." Chapman Hall's display came in second. This scene portrayed Lycoming's football players being mowed down by a lawn mower pushed by the Wilkes Colonel. The first prize for the other displays wa s awarded to the Engineering Club. Their exhibit also received the awar d for the best overall display. This scene consisted of four Indians revolving around a campfire, a Colonel shooting the Indian chief, and a painted backdrop depicting the Lycoming and Wilkes campuses. The Lycoming College buildings were represented as being teepees. The Biology Club and Hollenback Hall ran close seconds to t he Engineering Club. The Biology Club displayed a Colonel turning an Indian over a fire on a revolving spit. Hollenba ck Hall's exhibit was a large crepe paper train a ccompanied by the figure of a bowing Colonel. Dick Salus Guests attending this ceremony will include Congressman Daniel J. Flood, who was instrumental in secur ing the flag; George Russett, President of the Wilkes-Barre Junior Chamber of Commerce; and Hugh Carr, a national director of the Jaycees. Wilkes will be represen ted by Dr. Eugen e S. Farley. Dick Salus, president of the Wilkes Jaycees, received congratulatory notes from prominent officials, extending best wishes to the Wilkes Jaycee Chapter on its fifth anni versary. Among correspondence received were letters from the White House, Vice-President Richard Nixon, and Governor David L. Lawren,ce. One of the main reasons Wilkes was chosen for this honor is the fact that Wilkes College had the first collegiate chapter of Jaycees in the world. The Wilkes Chapter was established by an a ct of the Pennsylvania legislature in 1956. Its members are juniors and seniors who are interested in promoting mutual understanding among its members, the college, and the people of Wyoming Valley. The Jaycees have played an int egral role in the Parade of Progress, City Parking Project, the Or phans' Shol?ping :our, the _R etreat State Hospital Gift Campaign, the Jaycee State Convention, "Get Out the Vote" Campaign, Junior Golf, and the Youth Fitness Program. The most recent project of the Jaycees is t)-ie Fire Prevention Program for Wyo ming Valley. P lans for the future include a pamphlet designed to reduce n egative opinion on the future of Wyoming Valley. Drama Group DeIayed iI BY Lac k Of Tryout s,. El.ghteen Actors Needed Cue 'n' Curtain planned to present a two-act play early in December. However, members of the gro up and Alfred Groh, club advisor, are in a quandary because of lack of student interest. Mr. Groh exp r esses hope that such lack of interest is due to insufficient advertising. The play in question-and it definitely is, right now, in questionis "The Man Who Harried a Dumb Wife" (The adjective refe r's to t h e lady's inability to speak, not to her stupid ity.) The play is a two-act farce-comedy, set in the middle ages; it will very likely be done in costume. The cast requires eighteen people, including eight men. Mr. Groh points out that he is not looking for people who are trained or experienced in acting or theater work. The purposes of the college theater are educational, a nd interested students will have the opportunity to learn about theater and to develop any latent talent they may possess. The play selected is one that would not be done by a high school group; Mr. Groh h opes that a lack of mature interest in theater by the students is not the problem. Nor do the Cue 'n' Curtain officers plan to do any personal proselytizing. Any student interested in trying out for a role should contact one of the officers of Cue 'n' Curtain or Al Groh in his office a.t Chase Theater. Rehearsals, when the casting is com pleted, w ill be planned according to the schedules of participating students. There is no reascm why a student cannot do all his curricular woi,k and take part in theater work. Ashley Hail Haunted! Goblins, Witches Prowl At Free "Spook Party" Spooks, spiders and witches will haunt Ashley Hall tomorrow night beginning at 8 p.m. as the resid ents of that dorm invite all students to their big Hallowe'en 'Spook Party.' The Ashley men promise an eerie setting for this bewitching nightdecorations in keeping with the Hallowe'en tradition, party-goers dressed in appropriately weird costumes, and who knows what fun will be brewed in t he witches' cauldron ? Admission to the affair is free; the men of Ashley are trying to promote a good time, nothing else. A full evening of entertain _nent and prizes is promised. There will be dancing to the music of "Web Stereo," prizes for the best costumes, refreshments will be a vailable. Games and contests will be held to supplement the dance. A pieeating contest, bobbing for ap ples, dance contests, "pass" dances, miscellaneous relay contest s and man y oth er entertaining acti vities are scheduled. Althoug h the men of Ashley hope to have many costum ed g u ests, a costume is not necessary. The affair is listed as "stag or drag.'' �2 WII.l(ES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 30, 1959 •••••••••••••••••• EDITORIALS Parking Problems Last Friday one of our enterprising young students had trouble extricating his car from the Franklin-South Street parking lot. Undaunted by propriety, he removed a car blocking his passage and went on his merry way. The only trouble with the maneuver was that he forgot to replace the other car. Left it right on the sidewalk in fact. Perhaps he drove off with a chuckle at his great practical joke, but ii wasn't very funny to the owner of the car, who was working at th(!! time at Chase Hall. When the unsuspecting owner reached the scene later in the a fternoon, the City police had already been past. They left their calling card, too. A pretty blue one. Worth $2.50, but not to the car owner. This is not the first time this has happened. Similar cases have been reported, but not recently. Other times people have moved cars out of their way from the lot to spaces either on South or South Franklin Streets. Sometimes they parked them legally, more often they merely left them wherever convenient. The results have usually been the same . . . a parking ticket. At the meters, however, a ticket only costs one dollar. Needless to say, this practice does not reflect the habits of all student drivers, nor does it indicate that the few who abuse others' rights are of the caliber of people we think are attending Wilkes. However, if it becomes necessary to put rigid controls on what has been generally a well-behaved co-operative activity, so be it. We're Proud We've pulled a sneaky trick this week. Editorial comment concerning sports belongs normally on the sports page, not the editorial page, but we must make an exception in this week's edition. There may be some ethical violations involved, but we have named as our "Athlete of the Week" none other than our own Sports Editor, Ray Yanchus - above his strenuous objections. It is unusual enough to find a man who acts both as the quarterback of the football team and editor of his college paper at the same time. It is more unusual to find a man displaying outstanding talents in both fields. We have it here, however. He has shown solid progress throughout the season on the team, but his performance in the Homecoming game was bordering on sensational. Details of the show he put on are in the page three story, we needn't go into them here. It's a Boy! The staff also wishes to extend congratulations to the family of its adviser, Mr. Francis J. Salley. M r. Salley's wife gave birth to a baby boy Sunday morning. The young fellow joins the other two Salley children in their new home in Forty Fort. And the Rains Came! After a great amount of preparation for the various Homecoming activities, which depended on good weather, we had a full weekend of rain, rain, and rain. It was unfortunate, because the displays, the game, and especially the half time ceremonies, which ~s the culmination. of all the festivities, were almost completely rumed by the torrential downpours. The Homecoming game usually attracts the largest crowd of the season, but on a dismal day such as last Saturday, one w ould expect to find only the handful of regular "loyal" fans a ttending. But this was not so. Nearly 1,000 turned out to see the game, and not only that, most of them stayed at least until the final minutes, many of them without benefit of raincoats, umbrellas, and other protective paraphernalia. The half time ceremonies, the crowning of the queen, and the special flash card section were all abandoned because of the inclement weather, but the spirit of the players and the fans was still there. This is especially noteworthy, since Wilkes is often accused of lacking school spirit.

All opinions expressed by columnists and special writers including letters to the editor are not necessarily those of this pu!Jlication but those of the individuals. Letters To The Editor: • • • • • • • ♦ • • • • • • • • ♦ ♦ OPEN LETTER Since Wi!Jkes College encompasses a much larger area with the addition of Parrish Hall, much more difficulty arises when one must go from one end of the campus to the other, in a space of ten minutes or less. Steps should be t aken to allow students to leave their respective classes as soon as the bell rings. Also, all the bells should ring at one time and all the clocks be set at one time. At present, when one clock reads 10 :00 at Parrish, the gym clock is either later or earlier. This situation holds true with all clocks. They all seem to have their own time. Since most of us are not track stars, we cannot make our classes on time. Why can't warning buzzers be installed that would all ring at the same time? Respectfully yours, Ronald Diamondstein Seniors Reminded Of Scholarships Fellowship Opportunities Available for June Grads by Lynne Dente Fellowship applications are still available for students who plan to continue their education. The Wilkes-Barre chapter of the national Secretaries Association International is offering a scholarship to any student who plans to do secretarial work after graduation. Anyone interested should apply through Dean Cole. Dean Cole is also the Fulbright Program Advisor. An applicant for this award must be a citizen of the U. S., must possess a college degree or the equivalent, and must have a knowledge of the language of the country to which he is applying. Good physical and mental health is also a requirement. Applicants should not be over thirtyfive . Danforth Fellowships are available for male graduates preparing for college teaching. The student may be preparing to teach in any academic discipline common to the undergraduate college. At the time of appointment a student may not have undertaken any graduate study.

Working the "keeper" play to perfection and utilizing an eff ective option, Ray pic,ked up 87 yards in 17 carries.

In all Ray was responsible for 84 per cent of all yardage gained by the Colonels, running for 5 first downs and passing for three more. This one game performance is a typical show by Ray.

Wilkes played the downstaters three years ago in another Homecoming tilt and were beaten 27-7 in the mud. Susquehanna will be throwing one of the highest scoring small coll ege teams in the nation at the Colonels. The Crusad ers have tallied 154 points in four games for an average of close to 40 per contest. Their overall record stands at three wins, one loss. Coach Henry "Whitey" K eil has depth, power, and speed to go against the Colonels. Heading the C r u s a d er s will be co-captains Ralph Ferraro, Little All-American center, and Ray Richie, halfback out of Shamokin, Pa. The Crusaders are packed with offensive stars and are led by sophomore quarterback Barry Hackenburg w ho was out in front in total offense last week in the Northern Division of the MAC with 293 total yardage. Also prominent in the Susquehanna attac-k are quarterback Dick Derrick, who ranks third in total offense figures and halfback John Yanuklis, the leading point getter of the team who sports a 6.9 yard average per rushing carry. Lycoming 12, Wilkes 0 The Lycoming Warriors matched the weather last Saturday as they put the damper on the Colonel grid team and on the sports finale of the Homecoming activities, when they defeated the home forces, 12-0, in the rain and mud. The Warriors tallied quickly for one score on a first quarter fumble to gather in the n ecessary points for the victory. The Colonel offense was mired in the mud throughout the first h alf and didn 't get slushing until the end of the third quarter. From that point on the Blue and Gold pushed Lycoming all over the sea of mud and were knocking on paydirt's door twice, only to have intercepted passes stop each threat. Outstanding in the Wilkes off ense was end Frank Spudis, who grabbed three passes for 50 yards and quarterback Ray Yanchus, who led all r unners with 87 yards and passed for an additional 59 yards. The Colonel line also played a fine defensive game, stopping the Warriors numerou s times in scoring territory. the final score duplicating Wilkes' tie with Wagner of two weeks previously. The Colonels again outplayed th eir opponents but the failure to score and to win the game represents the presence of a difficulty which the Ferrismen ha ve yet to overcome in order to break into the win column of the record book. ~~t;::1t:1t':'1~ Sam's Kosher Delicatessen For a Snack between Meals Groceries - Dairy Food - Kosher Meats 298 So.

NOTICE All seniors are advised to make appointments to see Mr. Whitby concerning graduation requirements. Miss Davies, secretary to Mr. Whitby, will arrange these appointments. Queen Lynne, a senior elementary education major, will make her first official appearance at the bonfire pep rally tonight at 7:30 at the Hanover Township High School athletic field. A busy weekend of activities will follow including parties, a parade, the football game, and several dances. A regal reception is expected for the Queen and her Court at each and every affair. The official coronation ceremonies will take place during halftime of the Homecoming football game at Kingston Stadium, with Dr. Eugene S. Farley doing the honors. Queen Lynne and Princesses Jean and Moncey will receive gifts, memorable of this occasion, from the Beacon, the Alumni Association, and the Student Government, to mention a few. Miss Boyle is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. Wesley Boyle, and resides with her parents at 97 Park Place, Kingston. She is active in the college sorority, Theta Delta Rho, as social chairman; a member of the Education Club, 4 years; she has been on her class council for the past 4 years; a member of the· college band her first two years at Wilkes; and she was a member of the Student Council her first two years at the college. A graduate of Kingston High School, Queen Lynne was president of the Future Teachers of America Club at her school during her senior year, and also a member of the National Honor Society. In 1956, she represented Kingston High School at the State Band held at Frackville, Pennsylvania. During August of this year, the .p retty blue-eyed, blonde coed was a member of the College Board established by Isaac Long's of Wilkes-'Barre. During her freshman year at Wilkes, Queen Lynne was selected as the "Best Dressed Coed," and during that same year, she was nominated as a candidate for the coveted title of "Cinderella." Though very active in campus activities, Queen Boyle still finds time to participate as unit leader in the Girl Scouts. For the past three years, she has been an associate member and waterfront director at the Girl Scouts Camp. Queen Lynne recently became engaged to Charles Austin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Austin, 100 West Bennett Street, Kingston. No wedding date has been set; however, the immediate future for our Queen, following graduation in June, will be a teaching career. �2 WIL!(ES COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIALS Welcome .Home We are pleased to see all our old friends once more and extend to all. alumni a hearty "welcome home." We hope that the returnees enjoy their weekend. Students have worked hard and long to do their part in making this weekend a success; . It seems that everyone on campus has had something to do with some part of the preparations. There are so many events, arranged by so many people that it wquld be too great .a task to list them here. Student Governnient, the classes, clubs, administration, faculty - all have played equal part in the beehive of activity which has led to this day, the beginning of Homecoming 1959. We on the Beacon staff have been besieged with space requests throughout the past four weeks. We have done all in our power .to honor these requests in order that all of the Homecoming affairs receive ample coverage.. If, in some way, we have · missed some coverage, blame it on the hectic times, not on intentional oversight. Get Home Safely . Perhaps we should inject here a sober thought. We enjoy . having ·our friends back with us, but more important, we want fo. see them again, year after year. With the wid~ range of parties scheduled between now and Sunday evening, it is a good guess that a certain percentage of the high spirits will come from bottles. We neither condemn nor condone, we merely state a fact of Homecoming life. For those of the celebrants who find themselves subjected to the rigors of too many liquid refreshments, may we sincerely express the belief that gasoline and alcohol form a lethal combination? A casual examination of past years shows that there have been no reported · cases of serious accidents involving Wilkes people at Homecoming time. .The record looks good. We hope everyone takes special pains to keep it clean. Hail to The Queen! CLASS MEETINGS SENIOR CLASS by Steve Cooney A variety of topics were discussed at this week's senior class meeting held in Stark Hall. Final plans were made for the class sport dance to be held in the gym ton ight. Jack Melton's orchestra will play, and cider and donuts will be served. The name of the affair is "The After Glow" keeping with the theme of the Homecoming Weekend. '!he senior class gift committee was also formed, and Christine Winslow was appointed chairman . Volunteers were asked to join this committee. The class gift committee will decide to what use the class memorial tund will be put. Each senior will have donated eight dollars each by the end of this year, and the money will be used to leave a lasting memorial of the class at the college. Gordon Roberts, president of the Student Government and member of the senior class, spoke to the group about the many fellowship opportunities being offered to seniors. Any senior interested in finding more information about these fe llowships should see Dean Cole or iV1r. Chwalek. Final report of the Homecoming committee was given, and chairman Bob Beneski asked for volunt eers to help set up the class display. The next meeting of the senior class will be on November 12, in Stark Hall. . No H;omecoming celebrat(on is complete without its Queen, and the.

Campus Observer I ! Homecoming Weekend provides the opportunity to show some school spirit. Decorations, dances, the bonfire, and t he football and soccer games would be a failure without school spirit. The alumni show enough interest in their school to return to it; students should show their interest in the decorations, attendance at dances and the bonfire, and support of the football and soccer teams. SECRET KEPT "Who is the Homecoming Queen?" could be heard all over campus this past week. In previous years, the supposedly "well kept secret" was known by 50 % of the student population before the official announc•e ment. This year it was different. No one, except the officials concerned, had any knowledge of the winner. Even the names of the nominees were not divulged. This is the way it should be. The excitement and surprise are well worth the waiting. QUIET, FROSH! The fr eshman class m eeting last Tuesday brought many critical comments, both from freshmen and from Mr. Hoover, an advisor of the class . The comments stemmed from the rowdy actions of several fres hmen during the meeting. While campaign speeches were in progress, a group of freshmen was so noisy and disrespectful that their own classmates could not be heard. Freshmen, you are no longer children in high school; you are college students, and should act like college stud ents. CAN'T SPELL A "flyer" distributed last Tuesday informed the student body of a ;,DINER-dance." Just out of curiosity, which DINER will it be held at? Or how many "DINERS" wi ll be dancing? CURTAINS FOR C'N'C? Cue 'n' Curtain has made several requests to the administration for new curtains .. . to no avail. The Cue 'n' Curtain has been promised a new theater for S•e veral years, but it has never become a reality. The curtains are almost a "must" this year. The stage curtains now in use are so tattered that they are used as little as possible. New curtains will cost about $700. The budget is cut as small as possible with the hope of including the curtains; if the curtains ARE included, the other items on the budget will suffer.

In the commotion created by Homecoming, many are inclined to forget that the soccer team, too, as well as the football team, has a home game tomorrow. As far as timing is concerned, it couldn't have been arranged more conveniently; the soccer game against Hofstra gets underway in Kirby Park at 10:00 a.m. and is over at about noon, leaving ample time to take in the football game in the afternoon.

Reif, director of the 1959-60 United Fund Campaign at Wilkes, has announced that $623 has now been collected for the drive. Members of the freshman class ha:'e contributed $~43, $175 was received from the Umted Fund Dance, $135 was collected from upperclassmen, and $70 was contributed by individual clubs. Dr. Reif stated that he felt confident that the goal of $1500 would be reached, but h e also said that contributions have fallen behind schedule. At a m eeting of Wyoming Valley United Fund workers held last Wednesday, 51 % of the returns were reported and these contributions had increased 10 % over last year's donations. The goal set for the community United Fund is $1,273,000. If this goal is not reached, many agencies will be forc ed to curtail some of their services. The United Fund Campaign closes at Wilkes on October 28 when Dr. Reif will deliver the finai report at the United Fund dinner. All students who have not yet made their contributions are urg ed to do so as soon as possible.

Our mechanical department at Schmidt's Printery is under an extensive - and expensive modernization program.

The selection of the sixth annual Homecoming Queen and two princesses is limited to senior coeds and terminal students. Any member of the student body who wishes to submit a nomination must write a letter of nomination to the Beacon Editor, seal it in an envelope, and place it in the Beacon mailbox, located in the student activities mailroom, basement of Chase Hall. Letters need not be lengthy or involved. However, to be considered valid, all letters must be signed. If any student feels that he would like to aid the selection committee by stating r easons for bis nomination he is urged to do so. Students should base their nominations on the coed's personality, appearance, academic standing, and contribution to campus life. Last year's choice was Miss Mary Jean Broody, queen, and Misses ·B arbara Federer and Mary Louise Spinelli, princesses. Although the identity of the queen and her attendants will be announced Friday, October 23, the royal court will be officially crowned Saturday at halftime activities of the Wilkes-Lycoming football • game. The Court will reign over all Homecoming activities, beginning with the bonfire Friday evening and concluding with the Alumni semi-formal dance and the Admiral Harold R. Stark Elected Chairman of Board of Trustees Early Pioneer Of College Honored Contributed Much to Growth, Science Building Bears His Name Adm. Harold R. Stark Undergraduate dinner-dance Saturday evening. This year, as always, the queen and her court will be awarded numerous gifts. The Alumni Association and the Student Government will present the queen with gifts and gift certificates; and the Beacon will present mementos of the occasion to the queen a nd her princesses. Student Government Auditors lo Scan Organizational Requests for Financial Aid by Cynthia Hagley The Student Government will review all budget requests at next Monday's meeting. So far, all organizations except one, have handed in their requests for 195960. The total at Beacon press time is $9,815.55 requested, with an administration grant of $13,600. This does not include the Amnicola, whose budget request will approximate $4000 to $4500. Monday night's meeting will be held on the second floor of the Bookstore in the Student Government Office. The heads of each organization have s,pecific Friday, October 16, 1959 time limits assigned to them. They are as follows: Organization Time Beacon 4:00 Male Chorus 4:20 Cue 'n' Curtain 4:30 Women's Chorus 4:50 Manuscript 5 :10 Dormitories 5:30 Deabting Society 5 :50 Amnicola 6:10 Intercollegiate Conference Fund Student Activities Contingency Fund Request $3081.50 100.00 1577.05 100.00 1200.00 387.00 850.00 750.00 1570.00 200.00 by Stephen Cooney Admiral Harold R. Stark was elected chairman of the board of trustees at a regular meeting of the board held in Parrish Hall. Admiral Stark has been associated with Wilkes since 19'3'7, at which time he and Mrs. Stark donated their former home at 184 South River Street to the college. The home was named Chase Hall at the r equest of the Admiral as a memorial to Fred M. Chase and his wife, Admiral Stark's sister. Admiral Stark is the former Chief of Naval Operations and Commander of European Naval Forces during World War II. In his European naval capacity during World War II he played a vital role in the events which led to the final victory in Europe, and for his service, he was a w a r d e d two Distinguished Service Medals, one each for the Army and Navy. In 1956 friends of Admiral Stark donated the necessary funds to the college for the erection of the new science hall and suggested that this building be named in honor of Admiral Stark. The new Admiral Stark Science Hall has greatly improved the college's facilities, and it is significant that without the erection of this modern building, the college would have been unable to make commitments required to bring Radio Corporation of America to Wilkes-Barre. Admiral Stark follows in the footsteps of the late Gilbert S. McClintock who had served as board chairman until his <lea.th recently. Admiral Stark has been a member of the college board of trustees since 1949, and was born and raised in the city of Wilkes-Barre. He has always maintained strong ties with Wil<kes~Barre, even throughout his varied and extended service career. 100 %. The press comes from the cradle of modem printing, Germany. One of the results of the miraculous recovery of that defeated nation has been an upswing in industrial output. This modem printing giant from overseas will be a welcome addition to the Beacon's plans for greater papers, better journalistic principles, and a strict adherence to the quest for constant selfimprovement. Cause of the magazine style this week was the shift from the old press to the new. The old one is now completely dismantled and on its way to its metallic graveyard. The new one is being assembled under the direct supervision of German workmen from the manufacturer. A certain amount of trouble was expected and encountered. In ironing out the "bugs," unavoidable delays in assembly forced the Beacon to seek aid from a smaller press, capable only of handling pages such as make up this week's edition. We hope that the students will bear with us in this brief transitional period. Although the casual observer, in all probability, will not notice the difference, we can assure our readers that the speedier, more efficient service will result in other improvements perhaps more noticeable. When the modernization is complete, the Schmidts \ l Friday, October 16, 1959 plan an open-house celebration. At that time, we would be pleased to see our readers drop in to get some idea of the methods used in printing the Beacon. Your Newspaper ... Freedom's Textbook The 20th annual observance of National Newspaper Week takes place this year from October 15-21. The theme of the observance is as the above headline indicates, the role of newspapers in safeguarding Freedom. While the humble efforts of your campus newspaper may fall far short of professional standards, a newspaper, regardless of its size or importance or influence, is echoing the ringing phrases of one of history's most stirring documents, commonly called the "Bill of Rights." Observe your favorite papers closely. Read them well. The news reports are as factual and objective as human beings with human failings can make them. Special writers and columnists offer a variety of viewpoints on subjects universal in scope. Look for the emblem of National Newspaper Week. Designed by Nick Ruggieri, staff artist of the Harrisburg, Pa. Patriot-News, it portrays the theme with the design of an open textbook and a hand bearing a rolled newspaper in the form of a freedom torch. Let that light shine through the rolled pages and illumine your thoughts. Become aware of your surroundings and the day-to-day happenings in the world which affect your life directly or indirectly. Being educated goes further than gleaning facts, dull and dry, from musty texts. Education demands a rounded person; education means more than simply learning. Being informed is vital, let Freedom's Textbook help you. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + The Campus Observer The Observer received a letter last Tuesday containing some excellent ideas and views on Initiation. The letter could not be printed. It was unsigned, except for the words "A Disappointed Upperclassman." Unsigned letters cannot be printed, although name will be withheld on request. Several pointed questions were asked concerning Initiation, such as: Who has the final say on the matter ... the student government? The upperclassmen, for the most part, were left in the dark! The announcement Friday night that Initiation was over startled most of the student body. What pressures were exerted, and by whom, to cause such an unscheduled and sudden ending to the Initiation program? The student body in genera.I and the ·Observer in •p articular would like answers to these questions. Open Letter Open letter to C. Eugene Stickler, President Barre Hall: Not wishing to continue this difference of opinion indefinitely, you will find here- in a short statement in answer to your letter. In the second paragraph, you mention "fraternalism and spirit" as an attribute of Barre Hall. Fraternalism and s,pirit should be standard procedure in all dorms. They are not standard procedure; thus the lack of school spirit. If Barre Hall is all you say it is, The Observer congratulates you, but that's a -big "if." As the saying goes, "seeing is believing." Another Open Letter Open letter to Dave Roebuck, Secretary, Butler Hall: For your information, The Observer did make a few sensible suggestions as to what the Initiation program should be like. In your last paragraph, you state " . . . infantile displays, with a few exceptions, are within bounds." It was these few exceptions that were important. The Observer made a point of them because they were the exceptions, not the rule. 1 A Sentence Carried Out! Freshmen and many other students were surprised last Friday night at the United Fund Dance when Ira Himmel carried out his "sentence." Himmel had been told to learn to play a musical instrument, which he would play at the dance. Himmel, who has played the banjo for several years, was well prepared. The freshmen somehow got wind of his ability on the banjo, and tried to "doublecross' the upperclassmen by presenting Himmel with a clarinet. Unknown to the fr eshmen, he has played the clarinet for nine yea.rs. Moral: You can't outsmart an upperclassman.

I wish to emphasize that it is Wilkes College, not Mr. Reif, which will meet its goal. And, as you know, thirty-eight hundred and fifty dollars is the quota assigned Wilkes College as its share of the amount to be raised by the Private Schools Section of the Public Service Division in the 1960 United Fund Campaign. Contributions on campus are credited to !our groups·: administration, faculty, mamtenance, and students. Nearly everyone in the first three groups has given generously. Now we expect a good showing from the students who can raise fifteen hundred dollars easily if all the classes do as well as the Freshman Class has done thus far. Outside of education which is, of course, the principal goal of Wilkes College, the annual United Fund Campaign is the only all-college function in which everyone on campus can and does pa,r ticipate. Mr. Jervis' maintenance workers, the administration (including all of those wonderful office workers), each member of the faculty, and, I hope, every single student at Wilkes College - all make possible the attainment of our common goal. As I see it, each of us in giving freely to the /United Fund is demonstrating a loyalty without which we would be much the poorer. By contributing we express loyalty to the Wyoming Valley community, to Wilkes College, and to our personal a-spiration of being educated men and women as expressed by Point Eight in the Marks of an Educated Man. Thus to me the attainment of our goal in a United Fund Campaign is one of the grandest expressions of school spirit possible. Even though promoting the United Fund on campus r equires much time on my part, I _am always gratified to be able to say at the final repo1t meeting of the campaign that Wilkes College has "gone over the top." Thus I wish to thank everyone on campus for his share in what I am now sure will be a successful drive this year. Res•p ectfully, Chas B. Reif HOMECOMING DISPLAYS Allyn Jones, chairman of the Homecoming Displays committee, urges all clubs and organizations to construct a display for Homecoming. Information concerning theme, rules, and limitations on the displays can be found in last week's 'Beacon'. Any organization planning to create decorations are asked to be sure to notify Jones before Wednesday, October 21. Frosh Contributions Lead As Student Gifts Hit 27 % by Gloria Zaludek Wilkes College students are shifting into high gear in order to reach the goal set for the United Fund Campaign of Luzerne County. The student contributions now total $402. This is approximately 27 per cent of the announced student quota of $1500. The Freshmen made the initial class contribution of $152 - the profit from the Freshman-sponsored United Fund dance held last Friday evening in the gym. Donations from the Chemistry and History Clubs and individual contributions, have been received. However, this years returns are below the amount received at this. time last year. As announced, various class committees were organized to collect individual donations from day students. Chairmen of these committees are: John Mulhall senior class president; Gilbert Davis' junior class president; and Murray Da,vis: sophomore class treasurer. The Freshman Advisory Committee has appointed a committee for freshman collections, and dormitory students will aid t_he United Fund through Allyn Jones, president of the Inter-Dormitory Council. On October 28, Dr. Reif, director of the 1960 United Fund Campaign at Wilkes, will attend the U.F. dinner where he will deliver the final report on the success of the campus drive. Ex-'Beacon' Editor Queries Gov. Lawrence Thomas I. Myers, Wilkes '58, was among a group of journalism students from the Pennsylvania State University who met with Governor David Lawrence and enjoyed a .p ress conference as part of their training in the Penn State School of Journalism. Myers, a former Editor-in-Chief and business manager of the Beacon, questioned the Governor on two points. He asked about tuition costs and their effects on married students in pa1ticular and about the Governor's budget allocation for the University in view of the universally accepted inadvisability of low faculty salaries. Myers is in his final phases of work toward a Master's degree in Journalism. He lives in Pleasant Gap, Pa., a suburb of State College, wi,th his wife, the former .Shirley Baroody, Wilkes '59. The couple has a child, Thomas, Jr., one year old next week. Band to Accompany Team On Collegeville Journey As Morale-Builders by Pat Rossi Yes, the band will be at the Wilkes College - Ursinus football game this Saturday afternoon at 2:00! Mr. Larry Weed, the band members, all of their instruments and music, and the cheerleaders will be transported to Collegeville, Pennsylvania, by -t wo big 3·7 passenger_ busses. Ursinus will be celebrating then· hom ecoming this weekend when they play host to Wilkes. The band usually employs a car caravan to ,g o to all of the games within a 60-mile radius. But for all games beyond the 60-mil e radius, an allotment is made in the budget to cover the bus trip and an evening meal for the band members and cheerleaders. School s,pirit certainly picks up when the band is around as .p roved by the exceptional spirit at the two games and three pep rallies at which the band performed. They will be at Friday's pep rally and at the rest of the games. As Jong as the team plays, the band will be there to ,play and to back them! Wilkes Graduate Earns Commission Ensign Samuel T. Buckman, Wilkes '58, was among 126 ensigns graduated from the Coast Guard Officer Candidate School at New London, Connecticut, last summer. While attending offic~r training school the newly commissioned ensign was trained in theory and practical aspects of navigation, seamanship, gunnery, communications, law enforcement, and administration. His firs,t assignment as a Coast Guard Officer was aboard the CGC Ingham out of Norfolk, Virginia. A member of the class of '58, Ensign Buckman was graduated with an A.B. in Sociology. While at Wilkes he was president of the Psych-Soc Club and a member of the Education Club. (Editor's Note:-Ensign Buckman is the fiance of senior elementary major Joan Llewellyn, who was Homecoming princess in her sophomore year. "Form.al Wem" RENTAL Special Price to Students BAUM'S 198 S. Washington St. 4 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 16, 1959 Women Voters' League Will Exhibit Election Aids Dean of Women, Librarian/ Retailer, Among New Members of Faculty The League of Women Voters of Wilkes-Barre once more plan to display election information for the enlightenm ent of Wilkes students on election procedures. The display, as last year, will be in the Commons on Tuesday, October 27, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. League members will -b e present at the display to distribute the League's Voter's Guide, to answer questions about the issues of the coming elections, or about voting procedures. The Guide contains information supplied by the candidates themselves and will be useful in aiding new voters in the student body -to decide which candidates will receive their first votes . As college enrollments swell everywhere, more students than ever before are coming of age during their college careers. As a group they are probably the best informed on government and public affairs of any new voters added to the rolls. This makes offering information on voting and issues to college students a similar operation to carrying coals to New Castle. The League realizes, however, that no-t all potential voters register as soon as they are qualified, or begin promptly to exercise that most precious birthday gift of their adult lives, the right to vote. A voter becomes of age on the day BEFORE his twenty-first birthday. The registration commission of the County boards of election may register any person whose birthday falls on the day after any election or prior thereto during the regular registration period, provided the elector is otherwise qualified. Students are urged to take note of this display and to use the guides provided by the League. The League, a non-partisan organization, is interest ed in seeing that the voters of the Valley are as fully informed of the candidates and the issues as possible. The L eague is not concerned -..vith how or for whom the individual votes, but whether or not he does vote. This is the fourth in a series of articles about the new instructors at Wilkes. The purpose of these articles is to acquaint the students with these instructors and their backgrounds. SOPHOMORE CLASS MEETING The Sophomore Class will hold a class meeting Monday at noon in the Jewish Community Center for the purpose of discussing plans for the Class dance to be held on November 6. All class members are urged to be present. LOST - PAIR OF GLASSES A pair of girl's glasses were lost in the vicinity of Gies Hall. If found, the owner will pay a reward for their return.

Miss Cole has various outside interests Undergrads in the Act; Plan to End Next Weekend With Buffet-Style Feast by Jean Shofranko Something new has been added to Homecoming! The Student Government has answered the undergraduate's prayer for a student activity to conclude the Homecoming weekend and is sponsoring an •;Undergraduate Dinner-Dance" Saturday, October 24, in the gymnasium. All undergraduates - this means seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen - are cordially invited to attend this affair. However, seniors have received a dual invitation to attend either the student dinner-dance or the Alumni Homecoming semi-formal dance which will be held at the !rem Temple Country Club that evening. According to John Mattey, general chairman of the affair, an unusual, interesting evening has been planned. Among the many features will -be the appearance of the Homecoming queen and her court, a dinner which will delight the hearts of all Wilkes ,g ourmets, the swing and dream music of Herbie Greene, and an old-fashioned songfest. Decorations will revolve arc).md the central theme of Homecoming and autumn. Table centerpieces and decorations will be designed and manufactured by the TDR girls, under the direction of Bernardine Zapatowski and Beverly Butler.

Hazing Grinds to Halt After Himmel Fiddles by Marilyn ,K rackenfels Last Friday at the United Fund Dance, the upperclassmen affiliated with freshman hazing carr.ied out the sentences handed them by the frosh a.t last week's "turn-about" tribunal. Judge Ira Himmel, sentenced to master a musical instrument within twenty-four hours, displayed talent heretofore unknown before the large crowd. He gave creditable r enditions on both clarinet and banjo. Bob King, an executioner on the ,t ribunal, accompanied Himmel on the bongo drums. Steve Cooney, prosecuting attorney; Bill Roots, defense attorney; Bob Washburn, co-chairman of the hazing program, and several other upperclassmen campus leaders entertained the audience with two vocal selections, a .p arody on "Sweet Violets" and "On Top of Old Smokey." The big surprise of the evening, saved for the last item on the intermission agenda, was Gordon Roberts' annoncem ent that hazing was officially ended. However - and Roberts placed great stress on the word "however" - dorm hazing was decreed to be still in force, including the infamous "Hell Night." �Friday, October 16, 1959 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Wesleyan University Unveils Plan For Giving Courses Without Grades by Steve Cooney Courses without a grading system is no longer a dream of the future, but a reality. Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut has adopted a system of gradeless crediting on a limited basis to junior and senior classes. The "course without grade" system was first proposed to the administration by the student curriculum committee, which decided to give it a one-year trial beginning this fall. Under the plan, each junior and senior, as a part of his regular quota of courses, is permitted to elect each semester one course for which he will be granted the usual academic credit, but without an official grade on his record. This has often been confused with the 5 credit-audit system, but under the audit syst em the records indicate that the course was only audited. Under the new plan the stud ent is given regular credit. If the student fails to achieve a minimum standing of performance sufficient for cred it, the student would receive no credit for the co urse. All that is necessary to m eet the r eq uirements is that the student p erform the work and otherwise fulfill all the r egular requirem ents of the course to the satisfaction of the instructor. The main advantage of the new syst em is a better outlook on the values of a college education. Students may concentrate fully on gaining a well rounded education, instead of concentrating their time on achieving grades. Car Competition Set In Homecoming Parade Preceding the Homecoming game with Lycoming, the students will parade in a car caravan from the campus to Kingston Stadium. The ,parade is under the direction of the Wilkes Chapter of the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Competition will be held for the best decorated car in the caravan. Judging will be based on originality of thought. All cars entered will be given numbers and will be judged en route. Announcement of the winners will be made between the halves, of the game. In the lead cars will be the Homecoming Queen, her court of Princesses and escorts, Dr. and Mrs. Farley, Cheerleaders and officers of the Alumni Association. The Association has obtained the services of one of the E"ast's top Drum and Bugle Corps to march in the parade. Arrangements for the entire caravan were made by Skip Gladstone, general chairman and by Gil Davis and George Reynolds. Lambda Omega Rho Some fraternities get athletes. Some get brains.

Friday, October 16, 1959 Colonels Go Bear-Hunting Tomorrow, Seek lo Spoil Ursinus Homecoming The Colonels carry their colors to Collegeville, Pa., tomorrow when they meet the Ursinus Bears at 2:00 p.m. Both teams will be after their initial victory, the Colonel record standing at 0-3, and the Ursinus slate at 0-2. The Bears have been roughed up in their two outings, having lost to Susquehanna, 63-0, and to Johns Hopkins, 50-6. Coach Ray Gurzynski started the season with 27 players, one of the smallest turnouts ever r eported at the Collegeville institution. Included in this group are 13 lettermen, all of whom saw action against Wilkes last year in the Homecoming game. Wilkes was the v.ictor in that contest, 8-0. A situation which saw only four Ursinus freshmen report for football has been bri-ghtened by the addition of several upperclassmen who never played previously. This group includes senior heavyweight wrestler Wally Nielsen who weighs in at 285 pounds and junior fullback Jerry Leatherman, a transfer from Juniata. Coach Gurzynski still has All-ECAC center Bob Peterson, tackle Holly Fitts, and junior John Brackin to plug the center of the line, and has two veteran quarterbacks in Ted Kershner and John Detweiler. Added help is expected from halfbacks Jack McCrae and Gary Leach, along with senior returnee Dick Boggio of -B ogota, N.J. Injuredl Colonels Return The Colonels should find their forces bolstered this week with the return of tackle Jerry Loewen. Loewen has been working out all week and has shown that his leg injury is coming along better than expected. Also slated for actioill is quarterback Bill Schutter, who has been nursing an ankle injury for the past two weeks. PMC 21, Wilkes 6 PMC turned the only Wilkes misplays into touchdowns as they countered after a fumble and two intercepted passes to come out on top of a grueling battle last Saturday at Chester, Pa. Wilkes put up a gallant fight against -the Cadets as they came back from a 6-0 halftime defi cit to tie the score in the third quarter. However, a bad center on a Wilkes punt attempt put the Colonels in -the hole again as the kicker was down ed in the end zone for a safety. Behind 8-6 in the final frame, Wilkes decided to go to the airways, only to have a pafr of .passes pulled in by the Cadets. Both interceptions led to PMC scores, as the Cadets put the game out of reach and went on to .g arner the victory, 21-6. Sidelights of Saturday's Game: Once again it was the running of fullback Marv Antinnes that led the Wilkes offense. Antinnes carried numerous -tim es off tackle and up the middle to emerge as the top groundgainer for the Colonels with 40 yards in 12 tries. Antinnes also registered the only tally for the home forces when he plunged over a mass of bodies from the one-yard line. The sprinting of freshman Tom Meyers from the right halfback slot was also a bright spot in the Wilkes attack Meyers, in his first running play in college ball, set up the Wilkes touchdown with a 9yard sweep around end to the one-yard line.

His performance against PMC was one of the finest displayed by a Wilkes lineman in many years. Although he is not regarded as a spectacular-type player who makes the team's winning score or bats down the opponent's desperation pass, "Jungle Jim" is the steady- -type player whom you find in the pile ups and throwing that key block to spring a fast back loose. He is the calibre player who, without gaining p er s o n a I recognition, earns praise for the Colonel team. Jim's athletic ability was definitely defined by a coach when he said "Jim is the type ball player you can depend on t,o play good, hard football that is a credit to Wilkes." This was further emphasized as the 5' 11", 195-lb. guard was named co-captain of the Blue and Gold squad for the season's opener against Lebanon Valley. An aggressive warrior on the football field, Jim is very friendly and pleasant off the gridiron and can usually be found wandering around the campus with his "shadow," Rick Rees. Jim .g raduated from Kingston High School in 1955 before playing soldier boy in Germany for Uncle Sam. He is now a sophomore at Wilkes, majoring in Secondary Education, and is also an active member of the Lettermen's Club. Like most of the Colonel athletes, Jim is an avid Huckleberry Hound fan and never misses a Three Stooges comedy. Jim is often called the Beatnik of the ball team as he enjoys progressive jazz, but would rather trade all the cartoons and jaz,z for music by Johnny Mathis, especially "Misty."

PROVIDENT MUTUAL Life Insurance Company of Philadelphia Seek Third Win In Five Years Over Tough Bisons by Donald B. Hancock After being defeated by Stevens T ech on Wednesday, a high-spirited Wilkes soccer team bounced back Saturday and tied Wagner College by a score of one to one. It was a fast game, with a good deal of action on both sides, Wagner breaking the ice with a goal in the second period. The Colonels' goal came in the third frame when a drive from Joe Morgan dented the net, aided somewhat by a deflection off the head of an obliging Wagner fullback. The Wagner game showed that a great deal of improvement had ,been made on the Wilkes team in just a few days. However, the Colonel hooters next come to what may very well be termed the game of the season; against one of the strongest teams ·B ucknell University has fielded in its soccer history. Armed with ten returning lettermen, the Thundering Herd this afternoon plays host to the Wilkes soccer team at Lewisburg. Coach Henry J. Peters (Penn State '39), has built up a powerful machine since going to Bucknell seven years ago. Two of the team: Steve Flam haft, center halfback; and Roger Mackey, fullback; both seniors, were named to the second team All-Middle Atlantic Conference team last year. They have the fortunate ability of :b eing able to field a fully experienced team without having to add any freshmen or aspiring first-timeout upperclassmen. This surplus of lettermen, most of whom are seniors, has perhaps one rather pleasant indication, at least as far as next year's soccer team is concerned. Because it is so top-heavy with seniors, the Bucknell soccer team stands to be hit just as hard if not harder by graduation than Wilkes was last year. This of course is pure speculation, and only time itself will provide an answer. Aside from possessing two men who were second team All-Middle Atlantic Conference choices last year, they sport a 2-1 victory .o ver Penn State, perenially one of the finest teams in the east. This pa1-ticular victory marks the first time Bucknell has managed to defeat Penn State in twenty-three contests, the best they had previously done against the Nittany Lions had been a 0-0 tie in 1943. Last year the Wilkes hooters defeated the Bisons in two overtime periods, two to one. The total record against Bucknell over five seasons of play is two wins and three ties. This afternoon the Ferrismen have a real fight on their hands when they go against one of the toprated soccer teams in the country. Friday, October 16, 1959 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 8 Coed Bowling League Set for Reorganizing; Meets at J.C.C. Sunday Intramural co-ed bowling moves to the Jewish Community Center lanes at 7:30 p.m. Sunday night. The new quarters are available at the 7 :30 time for the first week only. After that the league will begin at 6 :00 p.m. every Sunday. Another new feature will be the addition of a sixth team to the league. To do this, it was necessary to rearrange the five existent teams. Teams have been drawn up with an attempt to balance averages as carefully as possible to avoid any one team becoming too powerful. The directors of the league are drawing up a season's schedule and will have it published and ready for distribution at the JCC lanes Sunday night. Also to be distributed will be the new team rosters. Every attempt will be made to keep teams as nearly balanced as possible while still honoring reasonable requests by individual bowlers to be on the same teams. New Bowlers Sought Attention of all bowlers is drawn to the fact that this is a new start for the league and new bowlers will be received gladly. Any person interested in joining the league is strongly urged to get in while the reorgani.z ation is being accomplished this week.

Wilkes rated four.th among the local colleges with King's students passing Wilkes contributions ,_. by a narrow margin. Organizations on campus have been asked to contribute to the fund from their treasuries. Last year, some clubs passed the hat at a regular meeting and then turned in that money as their donation.

The cost of the course for nonmembers is $6.50. Members need only pay for the text book, which is 50 cents and for a badge, if they wish, for 60 cents. In order to qualify for the course one must be 17 years of age and be able to swim 50 yards of the side, breast, elementary back, and crawl strokes. The course will consist of learning the regular life saving rescue routines and defensive tactics plus 6 different methods of artificial respiration. At the end of the course a water and written test will be held to verify the qualification of the aJJplicants. This course is not sponsored by the American Red Cross but is under the authoriZation of the Y.M.C.A. and is fully recognized in aquatic circles. Tony Thomas, aquatic instructor of the Y.M.C.A., and his assistant, Dick Bradshaw, will conduct the course. Any further questions may be directed to them. Mr. Thomas strongly urges that anyone seeking a job as a life guard next summer take this opportunity to strengthen his qualifications.

Cue 'n' Curtain will present a two-act play entitled "The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife" by Anatole France. They also plan to do a one-act play which will probably be "The Appolo of Bellac," written by Jean Giraudoux and adapted by Maurice Valency. Notices concerning the casting of the two plays will be posted on the call board in front of Chase Theater during the week. Mr. Alfred S. Groh, the advisor of Cue 'n' Curtain, will be in charge of the casting and the directing of the productions. The following chairmen were appointed to various committees at the last meeting held September 30: Ray Litman, stage mana.ger; Howard Allen, lighting director; Judy Ruggere, wardrobe mistress; Mary Frances Swigert, publicity director; Pat O'Brien, ma,keup; John Tridek, properties and furniture; Pat Hemingway, house and -program; and Steve Cooney and 'B arry Gintel, theater duty.

At the final elections held on Friday, October 2, Steve Cooney was elected historian and Pat Ide was elected secretary. The impo1tance of the Saturday morning workshops was expressed to the new members.

Super Sub! It's been said that the atomic submarine "Nautilus" stays submerged so long that it only surfaces to let the crew re-enlist. Perhaps _for this reason, the Navy has taken valuable space aboard the "Nautilus" for the only soft-drink vending machine in the entire submarine fleet. Naturally (or you wouldn't hear about it from us ) it's a Coca-Cola machine. And not unexpectedly, re-enlistments are quite respectable. Rugged lot, those submariners; Great drink, Coke! .

Sanlayana and Dewey Biographies Will Be Published Oclober 20th On the centennial anniversary of Prof. John Dewey's birth, Oct. 20, there will be published an unusual treatment of his life ond work in "Dialogue on John Dewey," to be released by Horizon Press, New York. A companion volume, " Dialogue on 'George Santayana," will appear the same day. Both books in this series of dialogues on modem philosophers are edited by Dr. Corliss Lamont of Columbia University. The two books contain transcriptions of tape-recorded personal conversations about the g reat phiIosophers by their intimate fri ends and colleagues. The participants in the spirited discussion on Professor Dewey, whose views are still the subject of passionate controversy, are: Professors Jam es Gutmann, Ernest Nagel, John H. Randall, Jr., Herbert W . Schneider and Mr. Milton Halsey Thomas, all of Columbia University; Prof. Horace M. Kallen of the New School for Social Research and Dr. Alvin Johnson, director emeritus of the N ew School; Dr. Harry W. Laidler, director emeritus of the League for Industrial Democracy; Dr. Harold Taylor, president of Sarah Lawrence College ; Mr. James T. Farrell, author; and Dr. Lamont. Participants in the dialogue on Santayana include Professors Gutn ann, Kallen, Nagel, Randall, Schneider, Dr. Lamont; and Prof. Milton Munitz of New York University. Professor Kallen, who was for years assistant to Santa.yana, leads this discussion which contains many revealing sidelights on the complex personality whose literary essays and philosophical works have now becom e established as classics.

Danforth Fellow Applications Available at Placement Office r Jaycees Plan Dinner - Meeting C'n'C Drama Schedule Reveals Three-Phases I �wn.n:s COIJ.EGE BEACON 2 Dirk Budd, Happy Birthday! Looks like the little birdie who keeps us up to date on James Bohning campus doings failed to leave his nest last week. We overJoin Faculty looked the birthday of our President, Dr. Eugene S. Farley. The birthday was Tuesday and our "birdie" dropped the EDITORIALS - nugget of information that evening while the Beacon staff was in the process of preparing this week's issue. Let us hasten to correct this unintentional oversight; permit us to extend our heartiest best wishes to the "Great White Father." For over two decades, Dr. Farley has been the guiding hand of the College in its progress from a rented-office junior college to its present position of one of the most highly regarded small Liberal Arts colleges in the country. The entire Beacon staff joins the students, faculty and administration in the sincere hope for many more happy, fruitful and productive years for a devoted community leader. Stop, Look, Listen On the same day we discovered the above intelligence, we were disturbed to notice that an old problem has reared its ugly head once more. After Tuesday's superb assembly program, the hungry crowd surged into South Franklin Street with careless abandon, nearly upended a somewhat non-plussed traffic policeman, and, blithely risking life and limb, blocked cars and pedestrians, ignored red lights, in general made the area a somewhat dangerous place to be found. Anyone not wishing to walk the sidewalks in the general direction of the Commons was hard put to make his way against the stampede. We realize fully that there was no deliberate malice motivating that mob scene, but feel strongly that a little common sense and common courtesy can make the lot of our neighbors a somewhat happier one. Besides the obvious discourtesy this behavior reveals, there is a factor of safety to be considered. As motorists, most of us have been in situations where pedestrians have interfered with our right of way. Then, with annoyance and chagrin, we have stewed and fretted while allowing the obstruction to run its course. There is little doubt that the motorists on Franklin Street Tuesday morning experienced the same frustration. Students, particularly those who drive, would do well to remember that when they leave their cars they become pedestrians themselves and should extenc:l to drivers the same considerations they expect when driving. To quote a well-worn phrase, "Safety costs nothing; use it freely." What Is a Newspaper? Somewhere around the beginning of the school year, it would be advisable for an organization such as this paper to make a general statement of its intentions and its policy. Perhaps our aims can be summed up best by answering the question: What is a newspaper? We have borrowed the answer from some now-forgotten source, not our own original writing, but adequate for our purposes: A newspaper is a disseminator of happenings, an advertising medium for businesses. It is both of these, plus a number of things; but above all it is a free voice. People may disagree as to what a paper should do, but most will agree that a paper must be free . No one denies that ,freedom can be abused; nevertheless, freedom must be qualified, when necessary, by truth, decency and high ideals. In the pursuit of noble goals we are not infallible. When commenting editorially we believe we are right. And because we are free to voice our opinions, this same freedom which applies also to our readers, who are always free to arrive at their own opinions. Journalistic freedom on the campus means a newspaper with an opinion, a living newspaper. Not a tool for a few, but a mirror for all; an independent voice reaching out to everyone. When we fail to achieve these goals, it is the right and duty of our readers to tell us so. We expect no praise and welcome criticism. We know no other way to improve ourselves. WHAT . . . WHERE . . . WHEN ... New Instructors Are Added to Chem, English Deparhnents i................................... Friday, October 2, 1959 The Campus Observer ! Last week, dormitory students, the campus, and the college in general were aroused from sleep when an automobile going down South Riv er Street collided with two student-owned vehicles pa1,ked on that thoroughfare. Extensive damage was caus ed to all three of the vehicles. Students flocked to the scene, which was directly across from Butler Hall. A telephone call was made to the police, who dispatched a cruiser to in vesti r:ate. At the time of its arrival, a crowd had formed on both by Doug Keating sides of the street.

He belongs to the American Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association, the National Education, and the Pennsylvania Education Associations. Arthur Hoover Mr. Hoover received his master's degree in Business Education. He graduated from Wil>kes in 1955 and started teaching at Wilkes in the fall of that year.

At present, he is the faculty advisor to the Intercollegiate Conference on Government and Politics and the dormitory proctor of But ler Hall. Mr. Reese received a master of science degree in Physical Education. -In 1951, he graduated from Penn State with a 1B.S. in Physical Education. He started teaching at Wilkes in 1955 and has been very successful as a wrestling coach at the college with his teams winning Middle Atlantic Conference championships for the past t hree years.

Three-Year Program Divided into Phases; Other Colleges Enter a by Fred Jacoby In order to meet the demand for qualified engineers, Wilkes College will initiate a four-year course in electrical engineering. Two graduate programs also scheduled to begin as soon as facilities are acquired, are the post-graduate courses leading to Having joined with Temple Uni- a masters degree in Physics and electrical engineering. versity, Wilkes College is now offerIn an interview with Dr. Farley ing an opportunity for all those holding a Bachelor's Degree to earn a Master's Degree in education under a three-year graduate program. The first class will be held on Saturday, October 3 at 12 noon in Stark Hall, Wilkes-College. The program consists of 18 semester hours of general education, six hours of professional education, and the last six hours will be designed to meet the special n eeds of the student. This general education program will be divided into three phases; the H um a n i t i e s, the Social Sciences, and the Natural Sciences. The first phase, Humanities, will start October 3. The instructors will be Dr. Robert L. Chapman, chairman, associate professor of Engli sh at Wilkes College; Dr. Dani el Gilbert, professor of hi tory at Moravian College ; and Dr. Francis J. Michelini, associate professor of biology at Wilkes College. The e instructors have been chosen because they represent three distinct viewpoints of the humanities. The course, "Changing Perspectives Within the Humanities," proposes to increase the student's awareness of the major concerns, the rival attitudes, and the significant tendencies and discoveries men have experienced in attempting to understand themselves, their relations to others, and the world in which they live. During the summer phase of the course, a symposium in education will be offered which will be centered around principles in psychology, anthropology, sociology and philosophy developed during the 1·ecent past as they suggest changes in school practices for all levels. This program was started at Temple University in 1955. Each participating college is under the direction of Temple University. Participating in the program are Albright College, Reading; Franklin and Marshall College, Lancast er ; Lebanon Valley College, Annville; Muhlenberg College, Allentown; Ursinus College, Collegeville; and Wilkes College. A different phase of the graduate study will be offered each year during the three-year program at the above-named colleges, to enable the students attending to complete their education at the college nearest to their present location. Officers Dick Myers is president of the group, and Dick Wileman is vicepresident. The positions of secretary, treasurer and librarian are held by Harry Owens, Maurice James and Robert Eike, respectively.

Agenda Sel Al Isl Meell•ngs it was learned that these innovations could be ready perhaps by September, 1960. One of the main reasons for this new program is the coming of a Radio Corporation of America plant to this area. Without these facilities the RCA corporation cannot acquire locally the trained m en necessary for its expansion. To assure the building of a plant in this area, it was necessary for RCA to be convinced that a supply of skilled men could be obtained in this area. RCA and Wilkes will work together in the technical training of these undergraduates and those who wish to advance further in these fields. Since men who are skilled in electronics are re.4.?ired, Wilkes will need equipment and a large building to h·ouse this eqtrl_pment. Classro.9m space for new ti,idents and t he new faculty membexs required to inst-rnct..-1;.hese ~~ students must be provided. A iJOSsibility exists that a new science building will be erected to fulfill this need, but this cannot be positively confirmed- as of this wi•iting. Valley Prosperity Seen The size of the plant that will be erected at Mountaintop will be sufficient to house a minimum of two thousand employees, and if labor-management relations are satisfactory, perhaps almost double that number will be employed eventuall y. The engineering department of this RCA branch will contain over one hundred men. This expansion is seen as the beginning of a new era in the history of Wyoming Valley and surrounding communities; an era in which a surplus of labor is unknown and prosperity is not "around the corner" but has arrived at last. r ;Major Issues ReviewedBudget, Homecoming, School Spirit Committee by Marilyn Krackenfels In the two Student Government meetings held since the opening of the fall semester, the budget, School Spirit Committee, and the comi ng Homecoming activities were among the items discussed. Dick Salus submitted the following report, showing a balance of $655 : $88 from the 1958-59 Extra-Curricular Activities Budget; Beacon $303.33; Cue 'n' Curtain $112.88; Debating Society $144.52; Dor mitories $3.20; Male Chorus $3.04; Manuscript $8.77; Amnicola $263.18; Inter-Collegiate Conference Fund $112.15; Student Activities $30.26; Women's Chorus $.91; Contingency Fund $200.00; E.C.A. Budget $655.88. It was decided that this balance be presented in the form of four $162.50 scholarships to Wilkes upperclassmen on t he basis of need, promise of success at Wilkes, and l eadership record. Forms for applicants will be available in the Student Government office for approximately two weeks. Dick Salus and his committee comprised of Bill Davis, Rhea Politis and John Hosage, will narrow the field of applicants down to eight. The selection of the final four people will 'be made by Dean Cole and Dean Ralston. Jim Stephens was appointed chairman of the School Spirit Committee, with Doris Gademan as cochairman. The first item on the School Spirit Committee agenda is the Homecoming Bonfire slated for October 3. The Freshman Class will assist in this project, and Steve Robertson, a member of the freshman class, has been appointed chairman. Cow bells are being purchased by the Committee to be distributed at all Wilkes footba ll games. A special cheering session, roped off in cr epe paper, is hoped to foster spirit among both freshmen and upperclassmen. F lash cards, to be lettered by TDR, will also be used at the games. At present plans are in progress for a modified buffet- style dinner dance to be held for undergraduates at the gymnasium as a climax to Homecoming Weekend. A committee headed by Gwen Gould is in the process of planning the affair. A special Student Government meeting will be held next Tuesday to discuss Homecoming activities. Student leaders are welcome. AMNICOLA SEEKS EDITOR Mr. Catha! O'Toole has announced that he is accepting applications for positions on the staff of the Amnicola, the annual College yearbook publication. The two positions open are those of editor-in-chief and art editor. All applications should be submitted to Mr. O'Toole as soon as possible. His office is now located on the second floor of Conyngham Annex. NOTICE .... The Biology Club, one of the largest and most active groups on campus, is planning its first event on the a ctivities cal endar, "The Campus Capers," a sport dance to be held on Friday, October 12. Louise Gatto is general chairman of the dance.

McClintock, Chairman of the Board of T~tees, died following a heart attack. Attorney McClintock was one of the small group of Valley citizens responsible for the existence of this college as a four. year institution. He held positions of importance on every major committee of local interest in the Wyoming Valley area and the list of these is so vast that the imagination boggles. Lawyer, author, historian, philanthropist, cultural leader-he was alJ, of these and more: but to those of us at Wilkes, he bore the most revered title of all-friend. To his memory we humbly dedicate these pages. Let's Be Reasonable _Thanks to the Class of 1959, a shiny new bulletin board now services the campus. No more-we hope-will we read of Christmas parties six months later, or books for sale when it's time for_ 9:ad~ation. There is ample room for every organization to publicize itself and its activities without the need to crowd other notices out of sight. However, perhaps some general information about the use of this board would be useful. From our sources of information we have learned that students will be allowed a limited amount of freedom in the use of bulletin space. General notices must be placed only where they belong, not with notices classed under "Student Government," "Placement," or other sections of the board. Locks will be removed around nine in the morning and replaced at five in the afternoon. Anyone wishing to place notices thereon outside of these hours is requested to deposit the information in the student mailroom, in the box marked "BULLETIN BOARD NOTICES." Someone from the Public Relations Office will pick these up and place them on the bulletin board when it is opened in the morning. It is emphasized, however, that these notices are for the bulletin board. Notices to be added to P.R.O.'s "College Bulletin" must still be delivered to the third floor of Chase Hall as in previous years. If students abuse the privilege of free use of this bulletin board, we have been assured that steps will be taken to keep order and neatness even if it means placing the responsibility for posting notices into the hands of one solitary organization or individual. F¢her, those who do post notices are advised-and urgedto reme-ve same as soon as they are no longer applicable. PostID'S; should not exceed dimensions of 8x l O inches for obvious reasons. The 'Beacon' Grows For a change, the usual first-issue plea for help in the Beacon office is to be tempered considerably. We were gratified to be greeted by nearly twenty aspiring reporters at the Monday night meeting, and assurances of aid from another dozen or so who will be working for the paper in the next week or two. The response from the freshman class has been particularly encouraging. Seventeen people indicated on the forms provided by the Student Leaders that they wished to work on the staff and most of these have already visited the offices for assignments. Those who have not done so will be contacted by us directly within a week. For the first time in the memory of old-time Beacon hands, more reporters than assignments were in the offices of the newspaper this week. We wouldn't want this fact to discourage others, however. The Beacon provides a working knowledge of practical journalism through the experimental attempts of a group of amateurs who acquire that knowledge through the age-old "trial and error" school. It's great fun, good experience, broadens one's knowledge of campus personalities and activities, and may well lead to the discovery of a future Pulitzer Prize winner. There is plenty of work for plenty of people. Therefore, we cordially extend an invitation to all people interested in newswriting, editing, artwork and cartoons, photography, and in the business management of the paper to "come up and see us sometime."

Count Almaviva is in love with Rosina. However, Rosina's guardian has his own designs on his ward. Figaro, a barber and meddling busy-body resolves to aid the Count wed Rosina. Of course, grand confusion with the police, lovers' quarrels and mixed indentities, plus the dubious help of Figaro do not pave an easy road for the Count. But at the end, love and Figaro triumph over all. by Wayne Thomas Eighty-five Wilkes College students were named to the Spring Dean's List. Three students had 4.0 averages.

NEXT ASSEMBLY WILKES COLLEGE BEACON �Friday, September 25, 1959 3 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Colonels Open Against Dutchmen ILockeroom Chatter I By RAY YANCHUS, Sports Editor Another semester is here. another football season is about to open, another college newspaper ts being put to press, and another new sports editor is attempting t o get over the opening hurdles and go home for food and sleep. Kng Football is here and will be with us from the high school, college, and pro viewpoi nts, up to the 'Bowl' games of January 1, and further on to the 'Pro Bowl' sometime in the middle of that month. There's no getting away from it. It'll scream out at you every Saturday and Sunday from the radio and TV. Sunday sports headlines will glorify it to t he point where you ma y not be able to find the score of your favorite baseball t eam as they come down the wire, battling for the pennant. If you look real close, a one inch spread will probably be given to yo ur "one and only's" on the bottom of page five. Good Hunting. When football reigns, it reigns. It dictates like Khrushchev. So, accept the fact, try to live with it, and it'll be go ne in fo ur short months. Football also r eturns to Wilkes with the Colonels opening the campaign tomorrow against a strong Lebanon Valley aggregation. If you are expecting t o follow this column and read some Monday morning quarterbacking talk, stop right here. I'm in the fortunate position of also being the Saturday afternoon QB, a nd I don't intend to cut off my own head even if that wo uld get rid of twenty pounds of ugly fat. This colum n will concern itself mainly with w hat the column indicat es, lockerrom chatter. This is brought about by the fact that I spend a little time in lockerrooms and may be able to present some sidelights and item s that never reach the student body. (With the coaches' approval, of course.) Speaking of coaches, congratulations are in order to Mr. Pinkowski on his recent marriage to Wilkes coed Mary Lou Bender. Coach Pinkowski, a confirmed bachelor until he suggested bringing dates to last year's football party, entangled alliances with Mary Lou in late August. Quoted on the first month of ma rried life, "Pinky" said, "Love those hot, home-cooked meals." The marriage bug seem s to have searched into the student body, too.

Our job this year has been an almost easy one at times, the number of activities carried on through the year gave us something with . h f"ll h . . V-:h ic to i t ese pages. . We are grateful_ to all those individuals and groups who helped us by making news. Volume XXIII consisted of twenty-five six-page, two eightpage and one four-page papers, for a grand total of 170 pages for the year. These pages were put out by a few loyal and dependable staff members who wrote stories, typed and did the general leg-work that comes with the job. The reporters . on th e staff are sort o f !he _unsung heroes of the Beacon. Unlike many_ club_ and orgamzahon members, Beacon_ reporters work at their assignments each and every week. Theirs lS a constant challenge for which there is small reward. Their picture never can appear in the paper - it is unethical. If they are chairmen of an affair they play it down, probably through modesty. Because of the general lack of recognition they receive, we feel that some small credit is due them here; whether it be ethical or unethical ,we would like to thank and congratulate all the • . Beacon _reporters w ho have made Volume Twenty-th~ee possibl':· ~ithout them there would be no need for an editor or _an editonal staff because there would not have been any stones to edit. As a newspaper cannot function without reporters, neither can it·run wit~out an adviser. Mr. Francis J. Salley, the Beacon adviser, has been, in our opinion, a perfect adviser. He did not at any time forbid us to try some of our odd ideas, he always told us what he thought and let us make the decision. If we · h" d · h" h f l - d"d • went against 1s a vice, w ic we un ortunate_y i · at times, we always found out the hard way that he was nght. We thank Mr. Salley for letting us try our wings and we apologize for catching him off guard with our editorials every so often. After the stories are written and the paper is ready to go to press, the Schmidts step into the picture. Schmidt's Printery is Wilkes College'.s unofficial school of journalism, it is the place where every Beacon editor obtains a wealth of knowledge that no textbook could ever give or attempt to give. The Schmidts . h~ve alway~ outdone themselves when it. comes t'? the Beacon, witness the hme they stayed ~p ha}£ ~he ~ught rushing to put out the paper when the mechanical difficulties made us late. We would like to thank the Schmidts for the patience and understanding they have shown us this year and for the knowledge we have gained and will never forget. During the year, several faculty members have kept us on our toes by giving us gentle barbs, kind words and lots of constructive criticism. We appreciate the interest these faculty members have taken in the Beacon and we want to sa th nk Y a you to_those 01_1 the facul!y who help~d us _through the y~ar. Miss Sylvia Dworski, our long-time friend and adv1Ser, deserves more than the thanks we can give her here. Without Miss Dworski's help we would never have learned to accept responsibility and do the job entrusted to us. Jim Eidam, Dick Myers, and Peggy Salvatore also deserve sincere thank you's for the work they have done on this ,year's Beacon. Jim and Dick as assistant editors did more than their share of work writing headlines typing and doing two or three . . ' . , st~nes a wee~. Dick took on the hon~ share of work at the pnnt shop while we were student teaching and deserves much of the credit for having the paper on campus early Friday mornings. We cannot end the year without expressing our sincere thanks to Bill Zdancewicz, former Beacon reporter and now director of public relations. Bill's aid to us has been invaluable. He has opened the picture files and let us dig through for pietures many times during the year. Valuable tips for stories have . . . come from ~Ill an? his staff and on a fe':" occa_s1ons he has_ let us borrow his stones when we were late in getting the matenal. Our congratulations and thanks also go to Morgan Davis for doing such a fine job on the sports page this year. Morgan has proven himself to be a good editor; his coverage on the sporting events of the college has been more than adequate. Following Dick Myers into the sports editor position was a tough job for anyone, but Morgan proved his ability to do the job well. Looking ahead to next year we wish Dick and his staff all . ' . . . . the luck in th': worl~. We leave Wilkes with the feeling that the Beacon will be m good hands, and that many new and interesting things will fill the paper next year. Our thanks to every student, club and organization on campus for making this a banner year for the Beacon. -mjk WILKES COLLEGE BEACON A newspaper published each week of the regular school year by and for the students of Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

All opinions expressed by columnists and special writers including ietters to the editor are not necessarily those of this pultlication but those of the individuals. Dear Madamoiselle, the Editor: Since reading your note in a Bea~on of several w~eks ago concernmg your expectation of ~ letter from me, I have been trymg to think of what to say in such a letter. Usually one must be rather concerned about some problem befor_e he works up enou_gh steam to "'.r1~e a let!er to an ed~tor, and 111:Y difficulty_ is that this academic year, which draws to a close all too soon has been one unmarred by even' the least of irritations. My experience as advisor to the Class of Sixty-two, the honorable frosh, has been most pleasant. The Freshmen had all the breaks, no one_ crowded th~m out of the gymnasmm on meetmg days. They ~ad the ~est dates on the calendar w1t~out interference. The elect~d off1cers were on the Dean's List for the first semester. Their class meetings were sparkling examples of proper parliamentary procedure so that not once were the officers mixed up with illegal motions, etc. The pride which all of the stude?ts, not just the . majors . in sc1e~ce, have ta~en m ke~p!ng sta~k Hall as bright :1nd shmm~ as 1t was on the day 1t was ded1cated has been a constant joy. Cigarette butts neither litter the floor nor do footprints mar the walls. The biology majors have cleaned the table tops meticulously before leaving the laboratories. '.(Jsed paper towels have been placed m waste baskets carefully and the gentlemanl_y students have kept ~he wash basins in the lavatories sparkling. The dormitory students have sung the praises of the food they have been served. Oh, some have groused about eating too much but one cannot expect things to be too pei:£ect. But listen to this item w~1ch I learned_ as a member of the ~ibra~y Com~ittee. For th e first time m_ th e hiS t ory of th e college not a smgle book has been lost by the library. Imagine, a perfect record! Not one volume has disappeared from the open stacks. My students in Biology 100 last fall were especially· well prepared to use _the English language. Try as I might I was_unabl~ to find one st udent ~ho was weak m gramm~r or spellm? a nd consequent_!~ did not turn m any E for deficiency in the use of English. Not only were they articulate no one cut my classes. And such promptness! Every student was in his seat when the bell rang and their politeness in listening to my lectures with rapt att~ntion w8:s divine. Their penetrating questions rev~aled. an un_su~pected grasp of b~ological prmc1ples and I had practically to drive them from the room at the close of each period. I was fortunate enough to attend a few dances at which I noted tremendous social development. Every girl who_ w_ent to a dance found hersel~ wh1rh~g about the_ floor the entire evemng; not a smgle wall flower could I find. And the men were so gallant and such smooth dancers! How my heart swelled with pride when I saw our male students attired in white shirts, ties, and neatly pressed suits instead of sweaters, leather jackets, and sport shirts as has been the custom in the past. Thus it has been all year. I certainly hate to disappoint you, Madamois'elle, the Editor, but I just cannot think of a solitary item with which I am dissatisfied. I believe, if I have read your editorials correctly, that you share my feelings. If school spirit is at an alltime high, I frankly believe it is thus because the students have taken your editorials to heart and have pitched in with vim, vigor, and vitality so that success was inevitable. However, to be honest, I should confess that I have one little misgiving. I feel sorry for whoever (sic) must edit the Beacon next year. Since everything is so perfect, nothing remains to be done. How dull! Suspectfully remitted, CHAS. B. REIF by Richard J. Myers During the paat year, Wilkes student classes and organizations took an active interest in the comm.unity which supports the College, and em.barked on a program of charity drives which. in some measure, should show the citizens of Wyoming Valley that the students have an interest in the affairs of the area. Many of the projects were designed to supply funds directly to charitable organizations for distribution at the discretion of the recipient organizations, other projects were directly concerned with specific charities in mind. The Beacon has attempted to r ecap the year's charitable activities, and with the cooperation of the Public Relations Director-William Zdancewicz, has compiled the following report. If any organization has been slighted, it is a result of human failure, not through intentional oversight. In December, Theta Delta Rho held the first of three charity drives when it collected, repaired and donated toys and dolls to Captain William Ramage of the Salvation Army. Mary Homan, president of the sorority and chairman of the drive for repaired toys, made the presentation to the Salvation Army which then distributed the toys to needy children of Wyoming Valley. The sorority also held an •~Old Folks' Party" at the college for residents of the Sutton Home for Men and the Valley Old Ladies' Home. This Christmas party was held at McClintock Hall and was complete with entertainment, refreshments and gifts. Then in January, the sorority held a dance for the benefit of the local March of Dimes campaign. Attorney Charles Lemmond, Jr., was presented with $125, proceedi!I of the dance, for the Valley's campaign. Jaycees The Wilkes College Chapter of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Junior Chamber of Commerce repeated its annual drive for gifts for the Retreat Hospital. Ira Himmel and John Rentschler were general cochairmen of the drive. Reginald Trzeskowski, Myron Suseck, and Himmel presented Dr. Claude H. Butler, superintendent of the hospital, with the gifts collected. The list of items shows an endless variety of donations, including: phonographs, records, books, magazines, lamps, clocks, tobacco, used clothing, and many other useful and needed items. Also, the Jaycees held a children's party for the South Branch YMCA at Christmas time. They entertained thirty children ranging in age from six to ten at the Commons. The children enjoyed candy, ice cream, and cartoons, and were treated to an appearance by J oily Old Saint Nick himself, and live entertainment by s i n g er s and dancing. Cue 'n' Curtain Cue 'n' Curtain, working with the Wilkes-,Barre Kiwanis . Club, presented a performance of Irving Berlin's "Annie Get Your Gun," with the proceeds going to the Wyoming Valley Council of Girl Scouts of America. Proceeds of the show, $3,500, were presented to the Kiwanis, who used the funds to provide improvements and repairs to Girl Scout Camp Onawandah, on the Susquehanna River near Tunkhannock, Pa. Freshman Class The Class of 1962 put on a spaghetti dinner for the benefit of the Undeprivileged Children of Wyoming Valley. General chairman for the dinner was Albert Kishel. Butler Hall Men of Butler Hall held a sports dance at their home for the benefit of the twelve families of the men who were lost in the tragic January 22 mine disaster at Port Griffith. General chairman of the dance was R. T. Mattioli, who reported a net profit of over $214 which was distributed to the twelve families. Econ Club The Economics Club sponsored an unusual, but highly successful drive for collecting eyeglasses, lenses, and frames in the "New Eyes for the Needy" project. Over 2,000 pairs of glasses or frames were collected and tui:ned over to,-the New Jersey charity which annually sends the collected items to needy people in this country and overseas. General chairman of the drive was Reginald Trzeskowski. Sophomore Class In one of the most hilarious events ever presented on campus, the sophomores sponsored a Faculty-Athlete game of basketball played on the backs of donkeys. About 1,600 people jammed the gym to witness the game and not one of them failed to get more than his money's worth of laughs. The class president, Gil Davis, presented $337.31 to Dr. Samuel Buckman, chairman of the General Hospital Building Fund Drive. Choruses Men and W omenof the two vo"°, ::· tary choruses combined for severaJ.,concerts for the benefit of building fund drives of local churches. Following their success in their first joint appearance at the Edwardsville Eisteddfod, the two groups presented concerts for Calvary Episcopal Church, City; Firwood Methodist Church, City; Dallas Methodist Church, Dallas; and the-;' First Methodist Church, Dunmore.' In addition, the Girls' Chorus entertained several times at the Sutton Home and the Old Ladies' Home. The Collegians, 30-voice male chorus, presented a full concert at Nanticoke High School in October. The Men's Club of the Nanticoke First English Baptist Church sponsored the concert, and the proceeds went to that organization's charity purposes. Juniors Last week's car-wash, hampered by bad weather, netted the sponsoring Junior class more than $60, which will be turned over to the Wyoming Valley Association for Mentally Retarded. Blood Drive Finally, Wilkes students donated nearly thirty pints of blood to the local Red Cross Blood Bank. This is a double purpose annual charity project, for the blood is used by the Valley residents and families of Wilkes students and faculty through the Red Cross Blood Bank program. a-· DAVE VANN ADVISER TO S.

Myers Dave Vann, Wilkes '58, is currently attending Rhodes University at Grahamstown, Union of South Africa, under a scholarship awarded him by the Rotary International. Up to his old tricks, Vann is to organize, supervise, and act as adviser to a one-day Model General Assembly to be held by the National Union of South Africa College Students. The MGA will be held at the National conference of the organiza- tion at their July 6 meeting in Johannesburg. It will be the first ex p e r i enc e the South African students have had with a Model General Assembly, and more than half the colleges in South Africa will send delegates.

I �Wn.KES COLLEGE BEACON 4 Friday, May 22~ 1959 TAKING OVER Stall Sportswriter Reviews Statistics by Dan Lewis While browsing through the results of the various athletic events of the school year, it was found that the accumulated .._ won and lost record of all the Colonel teams showed a 30 and 42 - slate. This record may not appear to be too impressive to some sports enthusiasts, but on the contrary, considering the ca~i~er of our opponents and the policy of the college not to subs1d1ze our athletes, we feel that the various players and teams have had a most commendable season and proven themselves very worthy opponents. Win and loss records never tell the entire story, just the final results. Hidden behind the final records are the close contests decided by one run or a touchdown, or a measly little foul shot. Grapplers Shine Once again the wrestling team proved to be the pride and joy of the Colonel followers as they finished their season undefeated and topped it off by repeating as Middle Atlantic States Collegiate Athletic Conference champions for the thil·d straight year. This year, again, the Colonel football team suffered from lack of personnel and numerous injuries, finishing with a win and loss record of 1 and 8. Here again the records fail to show the true ability of the players. Never has so much been done by so few in a losing cause. We feel that the footballers should be commended for their stellar defensive play and "never-say-die" spirit in the face of overwhelming odds. The soccer team seems to have finally come into its own finishing with a 7 and 3 record. This has been the most successful season for the hooters and we feel it is only a sample of what is to come. During homecoming weekend a remark was heard from an alumnus letterman to the effect that this year's team has really improved over past teams in that they can kick with both feet. Though made in jest, it only proves that this year's soccer team was probably the best ever to take the field in a Wilkes uniform. Next on the list for review is the basketball team. Though finishing with a fairly good 9 and 11 record, we feel that they could have had a winning record with the ald of a few breaks here and there. The individual ability was there in abundance but the lack of consistent team play helped to turn Lady Luck against the Colonels on many occasions. However, the future appears to be very bright because of the return of the entire squad. In its second year of competition after a layoff of some eight years or so, the swimming team did a fine job. Finishing with a 1-3 record with two meets cancelled, the splashers showed no lack of ability, but suffered quite a bit from lack of experience. This can only be eliminated by meeting more opponents, so we hope for a heavier schedule next year to enable the swimmers to gain the needed experience and put together a wellrounded team. Our records, incomplete at present, show that the Colonel baseball nine possesses a 5 and 8 record. We feel that the lack of a pitching staff is greatly responsible for the losing season. The diamondmen have shown their ability to hit and field well even though several of the starting nine are freshmen and inexperienced in collegiate play. Relatively new in Wilkes athletics, the golf and tennis teams improved steadily throughout their abbreviated seasons. Inclement weather and the lack of practice areas hampered both teams considerably, especially the tennis team, but did not detract from their fighting spirit. With this spirit and proven ability, we look for much better records from both teams next year. In closing may we express our thanks for the many entertaining and oft-times thrilling contests performed in the various sports arenas by the numerous Colonel athletes and say 'so-long and good luck' to the graduating seniors.

The game will be played at 2 p.m. in Kirby Park. This will be the second match against the Crusaders this year. On May 7, the Blue and Gold netmen met the Susquehanna crew down the river and lost, 6-3. Tomorrow the Colonels are looking for a victory in their first home meet. Next year, the Wilkes team should have a winning season since only one member of the team will be lost.

Open a FLEXIBLE CHARGE ACCOUNT �Baseball Team Meets Warriors Away Tomorrow by MORGAN R. DA VIS, Sports Editor Finals already! Wasn't it just the week before last that we were over in the Kingston Stadium watching the kickoff against Ithaca? Maybe we haven't suffered as much as we thought in getting out the "rag" commonly referred to in lighter moments as the Beacon. At least the suffering couldn't have been as painful as we had been in the habit of broadcasting to every pair of available ears unfortunate enough to be within listening distance. Since this is now the final editorial of the year, (and possibly of this young reporter's life) it might be appropriate to reminisce and get slightly maudlin in regards to journalistic feats and the varying amounts of prowess of athletic teams. However, since it was slightly next to impossible to miss the errors that cropped up on the Beacon sports pages in the past year we will concentrate on describing our good features - if any exist. Perhaps it hasn't been too obvious but in our own way we have tried to be as fair and impartial as we could possibly be. It is a rather difficult feat to sit in a judicial position and pass judgement on some of the finest athletes in Wilkes without becoming slightly prejudiced. In all sincerity we hope that we have offended only the smallest possible number of people. THANKS In all due respect to the people that have at least enjoyed a few column inches of the last 27 publications of the Beacon (excluding Lennie Dziedzic), we feel that the majority of the credit goes to Dick Myers for his ever faithful adherence to correct journalistic practices, Editor Marion Klawonn for her constant criticism and compliments in the correct places. Also in line for special awards for putting up with the antics of the Sports section of the Beacon are Bill Zdancewicz and JoAnne Yurchak, who embody the spirit of many indefatigable virtues. Next year's sports editor, Ray Yanchus, will need all the diplomacy he can command to regain the good graces of these most important people. Again placing credit where it belongs, we would like to thank Fred Jacoby, Dan Lewis, Dave Kline, and Jim Hennighan for their priceless assistance. The writing team of Jack Thomas and Carl Borr was invaluable. And last, but far from least, the printing industry has more than made an indelible impression on the Sports writing of this paper in the form of Pop, Leo, and Ed Schmidt, the Beacon's mechanical department at Schmidt's Printery. PREDICTIONS Since the only radical change on the sporting scene that may affect the foreseeable future is the rise of John Reese to the position of Athletic Director, we predict that there will be a new look in scheduling intercollegiate sports. Teams such as Scranton U. who have scheduled swimming events with Wilkes for the past five years and failed to show up, will be dropped from the schedule. Fledgling teams like the swimming and tennis teams will be matched with teams that are comparable in experience and size. This tremendous job of Athletic Director has long been a full-time duty at our expanding school, and the countless duties of George Ralston have divided his attention among at least two of his most important posts on campus. We wish both Dean Ralston and John Reese continued good luck and success in their separate duties.

Market St. VA 2-8220 by Ray Yanchus The Wilkes College baseball team ends its present campaign tomorrow at Stroudsburg, Pa., when it meets the East Stroudsburg State Teachers College Warriors. The Colonels will be seeking to finish on a happy note with a victory and trying to avenge last year's defeat at the hands of the Teachers. Mike Dydo will assume the mound duties for Wilkes with John Harvey behind the plate. This senior duo will be closing out its intercollegiate c a re e r after contributing four outstanding years of baseball thrills to the students of Wilkes College. Dydo has been an all-around performer for the Colonels for 4 seasons, playing first base, second base, the outfield, and, this season, handling most of the pitching chores was named the Beacon's "Athlete of the Year". Harvey has been the number one backstop for an equal number of years. He has provided the baseball teams with fine defensive play, besides constantly ranking high among the leading hitters and RBI men. Wednesday's Results A fighting Wilkes team got as hot as the 90 degree weather and came from behind in the ninth inning Wednesday to defeat the Ursinus Bears, 2-1. The Colonels trailed, 1-0, as a result of an Ursinus run in the fourth, wheri they quickly scored two runs in the last frame to pick up their fifth victory. In the ninth, Ralph Hendershot doubled with one out; pitcher Mike Dydo sent a scorching single to center with Hendershot first holding on at third but tallying when the throw home skipped off the catcher's mitt; Bobby Ontko then reached base on a fielder's choice; a walk loaded the bases. With the infield drawn in, first baseman Sam Zgarski drove a single down the third base line to score Dydo with the winning run. Mike Dydo, the Beacon's Athlete of the Year, went all the way for Wilkes, giving up one run, on six hits, while striking out nine and walking three. Wilkes totaled 11 hits for the contest with Jerry Lawrence producing three, Paul Aquilino two, Ralph Hendershot two, Dydo two, and Gene Matthews and Sam Zgarski one each. Lose to Albright Monday the team met defeat at the bats of a strong Albright team, 15-2. The Lions unloaded 15 hits, including three home runs for the victory. Wilkes was only able to get to Albright's Jack Wertz for five hits, one a homer by third sacker Bobby Ontko. The remaining four bingles went to Sam Zgarski, J. Matthews, John Delmore, and John Mattey. Lebanon Valley 7, Wilkes 4 Saturday, with backstop John Harvey on the mound, the Colonels were beaten by Lebanon Valley, 74. Harvey, who for four years has called signals, suddenly found himself pitching in the second inning, due to an injury to pitcher Pat Monaghan. Wilkes jumped off to a two-run lead in the second, on Mike Dydo's single, another hit by Bobby Ontko, an error, and a bingle by Pat Monaghan. Lebanon Valley tallied one run in their half of the frame and added four more in the third. The Colonels scored their final runs in the fifth, when shortstop Jerry Lawrence was safe on an error, Harvey doubled to score Lawrence, and centerfielder Ralph Hendershot singled to tally Harvey. Ontko and Dydo garnered two hits apiece for the Colonels.

Despite the cold, rainy weather, Torn ,Bolko got Moravian off to a fast start by defeating Bob Januszko, 3-0. Bolko was runner-up for the State public links crown last year. Jay Olexy and Pete Perog garnered the only individual wins for the Colonels. Olexy moved around the course in fine fashion to defeat his opponent by the shutout route, 3-0. ·Perog, in one of the closest matches of the day, defeated his opponent, 2½-½, in a corne-frombehind effort. After finishing the front nine one down, Pete turned on the steam on the back nine to finish two up and an 85 stroke total for the par 71 Bethlehem Municipal Club course. Ed Mikolaitis rounded out the scoring for the linksmen by managing ½ point from his Greyhound adversary. The Colonels finished the season with two wins and six losses. The results: ,.

Pitcher Buzz Flanagan limited Wilkes to two hits while striking out 15. The Wilkes hits were two singles by Jerry Lawrence and Sam Zgarski. Now it can be told : One of the best bits of coaching advice offered to a batter in a crucial situation was given to a Wilkes sticker this past campaign, when Coach Pinkowski yelled at a batter with the count three balls, two strikes, bases loaded, and the Colonels in dire need of some runs; "Take it, take it, but hit it if it's in there." End quote, end of column for this year. EMBASSY RESTAURANT 55-58 Public Square EXCELLENT FOOD Perfectly Served Moderately Priced by Fred Jacoby This semester's last issue of the 'Beacon' brings to the fore a steady athlete who has been chosen Athlete of the Week. Hot corner man Bob Ontko's defensive play has been an invaluable factor in the excellent Wilkes infield. Monday at Albright, Ontko p1·0~ vided almost all of the action for Wilke's. He not only made a few Bob Ontko spectacular plays while at third; but cracked out a home run when at bat. •Ontko has starred with the Blue and Gold all year. His steady dependable defensive play has taken many a hit from the opponents and his bat hammered out many hits for the Colonels. iBob has had two or more hits in more than a few games this spring and the Colonels know that a ball hit toward Ontko will be well played. Ontko will be able to play ball for Wilkes for two more years and his cool steady play will be a good influence on the younger · Wilke& players. Bob Ontko is a sophomore at Wilkes. He was graduated from Kingston and while at Wilkes is studying for an A.B. in Mathematics. He presently resides in Kingston. JOE MANGANELLO'S . PIZZA BARS 334 South Main St..
