I It was our ,pleasu·r e-on an assignment for the .Sunday Independent last Saturday-to interview Bernie Bierman, former head football coach at the University of Minnesota. Mr. Bierman was in Wilkes-Barre for a talk at the Jewish Community Center. We caught him for about ten or fifteen minutes at WBRE-TV's studios where he was a guest on Jimri1 y McCarthy's popular ''Sports Review" show. We started off by asking the forme r "big-time" mentor many of the old standby ques,tions and then delved into the meat of the subject of what was to be his talk later that night at he JCC, "professionalism in college athletics". WILKES COMMENDED We popped one at the aging gentleman, who is a former president of the American Football Coaches Association. We asked him, "do you t hink there is professionalism in college athletics?" and he came back quickly to say t hat he believes that there is d,efinitely play-for-pay in college athletics tod!\Y, but was just as quick to opine that it's not . enough to worry 'about. P ointing out t he athletic policies of Wilkes as compared to many other hrrge and small colleges, we asked Bierman for his views cqncerning a "simon pure" brand of football. Ue commended all such schools and said that they were showing much 'courage to stick to t heir g uns, but he also stated that -a "middle-of-the-road policy is, in his opinion, also acceptable. The ex-Gopher tutor went on to say that a few "big-timers" are making all college athletics look bad. He feels that t he majority of the nation's colleges are sticking close, at least, to t he NCAA's ·"sanity" code. PRESSURE-WIN OR LOSE Asked if he missed coa ching football, Bi erman replied, "Yes, of course I miss it, but I'm glad to be away from all the pressure." Right from the horses mouth we had it-that pressure to win on big-ti.me grid coaches today is tremendous, even in Big Ten schools like 'MinneT.he 1952 Colo.nel1s football team, sota, which claim to adhere to NCAA rules and regulations. Yet, when ,s core 121 points. The op,ponenits he was asked if too much empha sis is being put on winning and earn·s<:o:red 13-1. The team's reoord was ing the almighty dollars, Bierman answered in the negative. We found 3 ·w-ins, 4 los,ses, and 1 >bie. several of his statements contradictory, but then we give him credit for a ce1itain amount of loyalty to his former associates still active in the grid world. No sense making t hem look bad. The talk was particularly interesting to this writer, for just a year or so ago, we ran across Mr. Bierman's name in a nationally circulated magazine under a listing of prominent footba ll coaches who either were fired or resigned under great pressure from the students, alumni, and rabid fans Next Week The Beacon who would accept no less than touchdowns and wins.

It said, "Students carried signs at games saying, 'Bernie Must Go', and even pic-k eted his office with placar~s reading, 'Goodbye, Bernie'." To all the above, we received a firm dernal. . . It was certainly a privilege and honor to interview such a really great sports figur e as Mr. Bernie Bierman. He showed himself to be not ~nly a very interesting subject, but a very amiable fellow as well. Still, we can't help wondering just what was what. �.

There are no communist cells here; nor is there anything even remotely resembling a nest of fellow-travellers. An excellent indication of student thinking is found in the fact that in the mock election held by the IRC in November' only one vote was cast for the Progressive candidate. All of this is :t;lOt to say, however, that there is no danger facing Wilkes. There is a "clear and present danger" of academic ossification and the stifling of the spirit of scientific inquiry. When we start recognizing individuals or groups of individuals, as guardians of our political morality, we open a Pandora's box. Once we establish the principle that the administrative and student councils should scrutinize new ·o rganizations for "subversive" tendencies, it is not illogical to extend their activities into the classroom to seek "subversion" in the lectures. We of the BEACON do not feel that college students need special protection from being corrupted ·b y subversion. If our students can't decide for themselves the merits of an organization, i:t is doubtful whether any board can do so better. If college youth must be protected by others, our colleges have failed. If educated people lack the ability to preserve their democracy, that democracy is dying. The Student Constitution does not have to be changed; the proposed amendment is superfluous and potentially dangerous. We have no course but to reject it.

SCRANTON HAS PROBLEMS TOO We found out the -past week that Wilkes in't the only college that has trouble getting a baseball field ready for its team. Each year the big task of readying the Kirby Park diamond falls on the college and each year the field is ready for opening day. The job often· falls on ·1 olunteers, who pitch in with their time and labor to get · things in ship-shap·e as was the case last year. Up at Scranton University, where the Scranton Miners' b~llpa:t,k is the collegians home field, opening day had -to be postponed. We can just imagine how the Scranton papers billed it. Scranton U .-Wilkes, -postponed-no field. The Miners' home abode not ready to be used, the game had to be set back. The tilt will probably be played as a 6:30 affair before a Scranton Eastern League contest a little later in the season according to Colonel Coach Bob Partridge. Those workouts that the Bloomsburg State Teachers College nine had with the Wilkes-Barre Barons at Athletic Park in Bloom must have paid oft', for they really made the breaks and a few hits count here last Saturday in downing 'the Wilkesmen 11-6. We were able to see the first few innings of the tilt and things looked good for the Partridgemen for a time. When we left, newcomer to the mound stall' Mel McNew of Baltimore was throwing a beautiful game at the Huskies. He must have weakened considerably, for in the seventh, the visitors ganged up for six tallies. Mel is a deliberate worker with plenty of stuff' on the ball. Dale Warmouth has tabbed hini as a "Shantz-sized" performer, and he certainly shows plenty of promise. Coach Partridge must think so too, else he · wouldn't have drawn the starting nod for the opener. Unless we miss our guess, Mel and roommate John Milliman are in for a very good season. A few more games and the whole outfit should be ready to go after that good year that it is due for. Incidentally, the Moravian game. which would have been the first baseball meeting between the Bethlehem institution and Wilkes, has been cancelled. Wet grounds made it impossible for the g!ime to be played there last Friday, so the Colonels were forced to meet Bloom cold. What with an already close schedule, the Moravian tilt wasn't re-scheduled. Jimmy Ferris, who showed he can run like a scared rabbit during the past basketball season is nothing to qe sneezed at 'on the bases either. The Kingston freshman had a few base knocks in the initial tilt and looks like a million bucks in the outfield. The boy can really cover territory out there in the pastures. A fast man like Jimmy can mean the difference in a close ball game. By the time the season is over, we're sure he'll have given quite a few ' pitchers Saint Vitus's Dance and an equal number of catchers reason to look for greener pastures, -preferably in the outfield. "Ace" Wengyn also turned in a stellar performance in the inaugural as did second sacker Lenny Batroney. Both boys proved potent stic·km~n, with a pair of singles each, Ferris led in runs scored with two, while the cat cher and second-baseman had one each. Things look a little better for tomorrow as the Colonels crew meanders up to Oneonta, N. Y., for a game with Hartwick College's Indians. • WHUTCH\J TINK, HAH? Last week, in another local weekly publication--0ur paying job-we reported that several fans have suggested that the Greater Wilkes-Barre Sports Boosters Club, which has done so much for professional sports in its short existence, give some aid to Wilkes and, you'll pardon the expression, King's (no offense meant Matt) · in rounding up decent crowds for their fall gridiron openers. Either nobody reads Week-End Chatter; or nobody gives a darn about Wilkes and King's. We figured we take the issue to Wilkes to find out how the students feel about it. Does anybody think it would be a nice gesture, if the Boosters are willing, or doesn't anybody think on the campuses either? We've been told that if a prize were offered for the best opinions, suggestions or what have you, we would be snowed under with replies. Well, we have tuition to pay too, so thre will be no financial reward oft'ered. We'd just like to ·know how the students feel about outside aid. Also, why don't the local colleges draw? Certainly Mike Lewis or some other deep thinker should be able to come up with at least an opinion. Tennis anyone?

A pint-size, quick little guy, Jimbo showed plenty in basketball, so much so in fact that mciny were disappointed when he was often ignored in the lineup. Possessing reflexes, probably the fastest seen around here in a long time, Jimbo could steal balls, lay them up, and tear around the court in bewildering style. Above all, his fire for playing the -game, still genuinely rare around here, was endearing to those who cared. Now operating in baseball- Jimbo shown here crossing the plate with the Colonels' first run of the season- Ferris has given Partridge a smile or two. He seems to be a cute left-handed pitcher, but Partridge has put his speed to use and his left-h,anded batting power as center fielder.

The young American athlete is a fair-haired lad, these diche-stuffed chow-hounds bellow, and you may proudly place him next to any ideal Greek sportsman of old. Well, last year the fair-haired Wilkes athletes proved their stuff. The School started out with 340 towels and, when the red-blooded American boys were done, only 104 were left. PHILLISTINES The other evening in the Librctry Itwo middle-aged women came in to admire -the water-colors. They were soon joined by a young dapper about thirty. The three of them paraded around the exhibit room slowly, pointing, shaking their heads, focusing themselves to the art work, and in general carrying on like rank amateurs with asocial desire to know something about 1he arts. After the two middle-aged women had nudged each other · •-'k"mg or perh aps mere1y th e everytune th ey saw some thing Seu flowing of pretty colors that they liked, the young gentleman proceeded to take the stage. He had a problem. If he would be able to purchase some drawings for his home, he would . naturally want what he thought best. What appealed to him were two winter scenes, but goodness one cannot have two wi~ter scenes hanging in a room. On~ must have variety. Now should he sacrifice one winter scene and replace it with a second choice, or should he go against convention and have what he really thought best? Of course, that one winter scene looked an awful lot like the other one, but he liked the blue in the second one. We never stayed to hear the outcome of this tremendous personal struggle of tastes. We went out to the water cooler for a drink.

Tu-esday's game with Cortland State Teachers College, a ·n ewcomer to the diamond card, gave Milliman an opportunity to really show what he's got, and show he did. John went the distance in a marathon 13inning pitch ers' duel to chalk up a 4-3 decision. True John gave up nine hits, but he scattered them effectively. Also consider the fact that he handled 11 fielding chances from the box without a miscue and struck out 12. Four of those strikeouts came in extra innings in which Shyloc,k of the mound gave up ony a single base knock . 1 Again, with new-found batting prowess, he pounded out two safeties to help the cause along. Rumor has it that Coach Bob Partridge will send in the big fellow against Cortland again tomorrow afternoon. at Cortland, N. Y. A healthy, heavy-set lad of some 5-11 ond 180 pounds,. Joe Trosko has been a big swat man on the Colonels for the past few seasons. Joe is that common type that sometimes can become discouraging he doesn't connect often, but when he does - it goes. His homer in last week's Susquehanna game is an indication of what he can do when .he does get ahold of it.

Gloman's Glorioui Glamor Girl A great many well-known stars of the past few decades; such as Al Jolson, ·T ed Lewis, Harold Lloyd and Gloria Swanson, have recently , amazed the entertainment world -b y staging successful comebacks. But a name that far outshines all othe·r stars of the ,past is that of the greatest and most famous personality of all time-"Miss America" . . . of 1873. Yes, that wonderful, beautiful, gorgeous, shapely, exotic, bald, gravel-voiced dream girl of a - few years back, Sidsipple Sloshbuc-ket, told me in an exclusive interview this wee'k that s·h e intends to make the greatest -comeback in the history of show business. You see, for twelve consecutive years Miss Sloshbucket has walked away with the "Miss America" award . .. but the police made her put it bac k every time. "Why, Chuck," she explained, " I'm still just as beautifui as I was in those days . What difference does age make ? After all, all women were made from the . same mold." "Yes," I replied, "but you're a little moldier than others." " Now let's not discuss my age!" she snapped. "Alright," I said, "I was never good at ancient history anyway." "Why I'll have you know I'm not actually what you would call 'old'. After all; I'm only · dribbling· over into the fifties," she giggled. "Slopping over into the nineties would be more liike it," I murmurred. In her day, Miss Sloshbucket was known as the Oomph Girl ... whenever she sat down on the sofa it went "ooom,p h!" And she has always had perfect vision. In all those years she never needed glasses . . . she just drank right out of the bottle.

"My oldest son is awfully sick these days," Sidsipple whispered. "He's suffering from chronic frontal sinusitis." • "Where did he ever get that?" I asked her. "From an old medical journal he saw at the doctor's home," she replied. Through the years Miss .Slos-hbucket has ,b een getting quite lazy.

Delaw.are Course Fees Consolidated Recently HOW TO TRAP-Twenty-four months ago Koo · Younsu was questioning Communist prisoners that were brought into U. S. milita,-y ofi'ires a nd never dream ing that some day he might be worrying about making the soccer squad at an American college. Wilkes KOREAN TRIES OUT FOR SOCCER TEAM A little over a year ago Koo Younsu had plenty to worry about as a first li eut enant in the South Korean Army, but right now his higgest wony is whether or not he's going to make the Wilkes Col~ege soccer t eam . Making the soccer team, of course, isn't his No. 1 interest at Wilkes, even though it comes close to being so. Some day · he hopes the title will be Dr. Koo Y ounsu. But don't forget it will be Dr. Koo, because, as he eXJ)lained it, for publication purposes the family name always comes first in the Far East. So for the time being he will be Younsu to his friends in the Wilkes dormitory and Mr. Koo otherwise.

We presented Mr. William A vireH whom, we think, gave a stirring and extremely interes,Ung speech. That speech is reported elsewhere in this issue, however there, one point which deserves editorial comment, that being a reference to a section of every n~spaper, Letters to the Editor. Mr. Avirett said that final control of a newspaper rests with the readers. He went on to say that the readers manifest such control by informing the editors as to what type newspaper they, the readers, desire. Hence, in the final analysis, it is the readers who are ,t he governing body of the press. The surest way of governing the press is by a letter to the editor. Whether it be critical or complimentary, it still sh:ows reader opinion and therefore must be taken into consideration. In reality it is upon -the' reader that the success of a newspaper depends. is So we hope that the student" body wil'l respond to Mr. Avirntt's suggestion and manifest its opinions through "Letters To The lliitor." , I CLASS ELECTIONS VOTE!

This is a , golden opportunity for us to debunk the popular opinion that college students are mixed-up kids. This election affords us the chance to show that we are not that mixed-up not to know how important voting is. By voting we are using democracy.'s greatest gift, hence if we utilize .this gift to its fullest, there will be li,ttle reason to be called "mixed-wp". Remember, of the voting public, only about 60 percent actually assert this prerogative. It seems that we can better that. At least we can try. PRESS SHOULD USE SELF-DISCI~LINE; FINAL AUTHORITY ·RESTS WITH PUBLIC In keeping with National Newspaper Week, the guest speaker at assembly on Tuesday was Mr. William G. Avirett, former Education Editor of the New York Herald Tribune, Before plunging into the meat of his speech, Mr. Avirett, now spe<;ial assistant to the President of Cai;negie Endowment for International Peace, related how he had heard of Wilkes College in Wyoming Valley five or six years ago and that it apparently had little chance for survival. Consequently he made a trip to Wilkes-Barre to see for himself. He returned this week and was amazed to see how Wilkes succeeded. Mr. Avirett's advice to all members of the press is: When moving on, get a ,g ood successor. The essence of a good exit ·is a good successor. As Mr. Avb;ett, sees it, the limitations of the press are two-fold; first, high cost of »ews'p rint and second, the high cost of printers. -These factors lead to "canned" news since papers cannot afford adequate staffs. · He t hen discussed the vital question of whether or not an editor should be "callable" to Washington for ,tnings printed in his newspaper. He concludes that the existant abuses in the press cari be overcome iby self-discipline rather than outside forces. In other words newspapers are capable of po,licing themselves. He feels that .t he basic question of where lies the final authority rests with the public, through buying power and letters to the editor. · Mr. Avirett then stated that free dom to teach is also under fire in America, A teacher must have a decent regard for the, opinions of mankind. This calls for a certain amount of common aense on his part. He feels that a teacher should be freed from all outside worries in order that he may devote his whole capacity tb teaching. The motto he' would have us adopt is "Aim to increase skill, avoid pain, be kind." "Our crusade for freedom calls for the deep, enduring loyalty of all of us," he declared. DIKE DIVOTS ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::-- Dear Editor: I felt that I just had to comment upon the tremendous support that our cheerleading squad and the team received at the game Saturday night. I must admit that I had not anticipated such I! terrific cheering section and I wish to apologize to the student body. After the pep rally on Friday, I thought that the spirit of Wilkes had reached a new low, but I am more than happy to admit that I was wrong. I want to thank all of the student body on behalf of the team, the cheerleading squad, and the band for the wonderful support and 1 hope that the students will continue to show such loyalty throughout the year, The Ithaca gaIT\e is drawing near . . . Let's have a repeat performance. Sincerely, Jane Carpenter By JACK CURTIS HA VE CROWDS RETURNED TO WILKES FOOTBALL? It certainly was heart ening to see such a fin e crowd on hand at Kingston Stadium last Saturday night for the Wilkes-Bloomsburg game. A throng of 3500 people seemecl like a sellout compared to the sparse handfuls of last year. We remember s~eing , about . 200 for the Moravian game. The Colonel grid forces hav·e only, two more home ~I'.l-· counters this year, so they should draw two more fine crowds. The next game at the Kingston ballyard is on Homecoming Weekend, Hofstra the attraction. Hofstra ou'ght to have a crowd-pleasing team. Last year's first meeting -b etween Wilkes and the Hempstead college was a thriller fro m the opening kickoff till the final g un sounded. Quarterback Jack ·Plunkett tossed a 30-yard pass to Halfback Bill Sanford with only 80 seconds remaining to give the home forces a 20·-13 win about which Long Islan,d sports scribes are still talking. A return match between the two teams, especially with Plunkett and Sanford back in the fold, is a natural. The final home game of the campaign will see the Blue and Gold facing what is probably the strongest University of Bridgeport teams in years. The Purpl e Knights will have many former Arnold College stars in its lineup, Bridgeport having brought the form er independent physical education school under its wing this year. That outstanding attraction, which should attract a near-capacity crowd, is scheduled for November 14. · Eddie Davis' loss leaves Wilk,es in a bit of a lurch for to morrow's game with Lebanon Valley at Annville. The down state eleven, which in addition to Hofstra goes by the ·h andle "Flying Dutchmen", is touted as being the best team in the school's history. It wilr be the first game of the season for the Dutch, thus, having had no chance '.for scouting reports, the Colonels go into the scrap cold' . . . "Touchdown Tips" newsletter for this week picks Lebanon Valley by a 19-13 score. 'Tips' of c urse didn't know of the loss of Davis or we think they'd have picked the home team by a bigger score. Did you notice how things fell apart when the Plymouth star was .sidelined Saturday P. M.? We'll still string along with the Wilkesmen. They've battled the injury jinx before and have won out more than they've 'lost. PARTRIDGEMEN ENVISION THAT GREAT FIRST WIN With more sincerity than ever before, any member of the Wi'lkes, • soccer squad will tell you that this year looks like a milestone m the Colonel booting history. A stronger squad than ever before r epresented Wilkes begins a rugged seven-game schedule tomorrow at Rider College. The •h ooters now number about 20 and most of them are experienced, The addition of several for eign students has greatly enhanced the possibility of the "big one" coming this year. You've never seen a team work harder and display more spirit than this one, either. Co-captains Fli.p Jones and Bill Mergo as well as Coach Bob Partridge have intimated that this could very well be the year. We feel that if it is, Wilkes will .win not only just one game, but several. We're going way out on the limb for the first time in our career to pick the Wilkes soccermen over Rider tomorrow afternoon.

Lebanon FOOTBAtL COLONELS LOSE SPIRITED GAME; Tomorrow.Afternoon REPORT ON EDDIE DAVIS: INJURY IN ERROR Saturday afternoon, October 3, will see Wi:lkes College meet Lebanon Valley College for the first time. Lebanon Valley is located in Annville, Pennsylvania, a small suburban town which lies midway between Harrsib urg and Philadeldelphia. Little is known about Wilkes' new opponent. The Lebanon Valley "Flying Dutchmen" are coached by Richard Fox, a 1941 graduate of Temple. Fox is starting his second year of coaching at the school. In his first year, he produced a 4-3-0 record against some of the finest small college teams in the east. When the two t eams meet, it will ;be Lebanon's first game while Wilkes already has one game under its belt. It was erroneously reported that Eddie Davis' leg was broken in the Bloom game last week.

It had to come sometime and this, accord~ng to the fatalists, must have been the year it was meant to be. For eightyeight minutes the battle raged hot and furiously . So intense was the action that one of the opposition sufered a fractured knee. When the dust had cleared, and, believe · us, th.ere was dust aplenty, a milestone in Wilkes College athletics had been established. Yet, it was· more than just eleven men fighting toe and head for ,that long 88 , it was five years of faith and hope that stood behind the accomplishment. Loud shouts of praise went up wherever the news was first learned. Some were scornful, others were sincerely happy. No matter what peo-p le felt, one fact remained-It had been done. The Wilkes ·College soccer team had broken a 27-game losing streak which covered four seasons fro m the time soccer was initiated on the inter-collegiate athletic schedule to the first game of the 1953 campaig,n. Victory was Wilkes' and Bob Partridge's. The 2-1 victory over Rider College last Saturday left .Coach Partridge perhaps the happiest man in the American sports world, at least for the time being. He wouldn't have taken any amount of money in exchange for just that one win. For it was Partridge who introduced soccer at Wilkes, having been an All-A~erican soccer performer himself at the University of Pennsylvania. Bob's -b oys had been trying to notch that elusive "first" since the first year a handful of guys with more guts than brains and soccer know-how trudged t h e Kirby Park greensward in the coach's words,., "on hope alone." TIME WELL SPENT Game after game passed and four winl ess seasons rolled by and not quietly by any means. The cries of woe rose high er and higher with each defeat, b ut then, how coulq Wyoming Valley be expected to under-. stand. It had never really been educated to soccer. With the passing of time, more and more people began to realize that it takes more than' eleven ordinary men to make up a soccer team. It takes ex-p~erience, which the men of this year's team acquired, most of it acquired in thi;ee winless .seasons. · Now we know that those years were not wasted. They were learning. Don't forget , tob, that with each loss, the pressure on the players made it harde for them to win. Let 's. also face the fact that the team has been. matched consistently with many soccer "giants" of the East. The hooters were the only Wilk es squad listed nationally as playing a "major" sch edule by the NCAA and all the schools it faced had been engaged in soccer comP;etition for years. Word had drifted directly a cross the Susquehanna from the practice field-to the campus- that this / year's team " could be the one." But, then again, we'd been h earing such rumors for a number of years. Nobody got excited. They just sat back and waited. It just had to happen ~tt~ . . , All this to-do about one little ,old soccer win, you say? One win out of 28 and he gets dramatic. It's more than just any win, it's the FIRST and it stands as a tribute to everyone connected with soccer since its All ;students should make a start here, but also to Wilkes College for standing pat behind its team habit of reading the postings on in those dark days. the ·bulletin boards in the library.

As director of youth work in Chicago, Minneapolis, and the state of Ohio for educational organizations, and as camp director for moore than twenty years, he had perso.n al contacts with young people and their leaders. American Viewpoint of which Dr. Mayer is .p resident sponsors these lectures, believing that the informal means of contacting people is important. American Viewpoint has been active in the last thirty years in combating forces which are seeking to destroy our liberties. In the last few years they have been working on the problems of communism. Each year Dr. Mayer visits a small number of colleges for two or three days. His future plans are to cover about 100 colleges a year. He was well received at the colleges he . has visited.

President Wayne Madden presided. The secretary's report was read and approved. Mr. Partridge gave a report on the Community Chest drive on campus, and urged complete cooperation. The dance held two weeks ago-"Operation Red Feather" netted approximately $60 for the fund. A pledge system is being initiated this year which has not been used in the past. Clubs or individuals may pledge an amount, and pay it over a ten month period. This system should enable all students to make a sizeable contribution this year; A Zippo Lighter is being offered to the president ·of the campus organization (at Wilkes or King's) which pledges the largest amount to the fund. Other items discussed at the meeting were: freshman hazing, homecoming decorations, and several requests for social events. The council approved the Theta Delta Rho wiener roast for Oct. 24, the Letterman's raffle, being conducted at present, and the Chem Club square dance, to be held thi sFriday night. Then on to the most important part of the meeting-The Budget! After consulting the Beacon story on last year's financial meeting, I saw that records were broken concerning the brevity of that meeting. Perhaps we did not break any records this year, but after almost four hours of concentrated deliberation, the deed was done. Allocating funds to campus organizations for their activities would not be looked upon by the student council as such an ordeal each year if it were simply a matter of considering the request and fulfilling it. However there is one factor which seems to account for the painfulness of the whole situation-a small item termed "insufficient funds"! This year the insufficiency ran some.w here near $1,890. Naturally, a good deal of slicing had to be done, and as a result there is in some cases, little similarity between the proposed allocations and the actual amounts granted to the clubs or activities. The first part of the meeting was open to representatives of each organization who spoke on behalf of their members and pleaded their cases for the amount of their request. The voting which took place later, however, was open to council rnernhers only. · Each activity was given thorough ~onsideration, and the council wishes to make it clear to the student body that no decisions were made on the basis of personal bias. Allocations were inade as follows: Beacon: Received $1,200. $50 less than requested, and $50 less than last year. Biology Club: Received $100. $150 less than requested, $25 more than last year. Economics Club: Received $175. $447 less than requested, $100 more than last year. Chemistry Club: Received $125. $129 less than requested, $50 more than last year. Cue 'n' Curtain: Received $600. Same amount requested, $75 more than last year. Debating Society: Received $500. $56 less than requested, same amount as last year. Dormitories: Received $80. $20 less than requested, $20 less than last year. I.R.C.: Received $250. $158 less than requested, $100 less than last year. Manuscript: Received $300. $100 less than requested, same amount as last year. Men's Chorus: Received $75. $25 less than requested, same amount as last year. Social Activities: Received $700. Yearbook: Received $3200. $579 less than requested, $200 more than last year. Engineering Club: Received $75. $175 less than requested. This was th e club's first year to make a request for funds. CLASS OF '54 REJECTS HONOR SYSTEM Editor's Note: The class of '54 rejected the proposed honor system last spring. This was ,i fter the final Wilkes Beacon, so the decision was never published. In order to clarify the situation the following article is presented. By J. HAROLD FLANNERY, Jr. For many years various colleges throu ghout the nation have prospered und er student administered honor systems. These systems have taken many forms and have ranged in application from examinations alone, to every facet of campus life. Despite the variations from system to system, each has rested on the fundamental principle that, any individual, intellectually and physically mature enough for college work, should be morally mature enough to assume the social responsibility incurred by an education. The keystone of every successful honor system is the individual. In reality, the success or failure of any system rests with the individuals in that system. Any conceivable organization of society, or even anarchy, will prove practicable if the persons in that society are earnest in their desire to make it function for the ultimate benefit of all. and are most distressed at the thought that such · financial discrimination may have originated in bias. We pray that the Council may reconsider its action, and ask the aid of the student body in restoring the International Relations Club with -ari adequate budget, so that it might continue to serve Wilkes properly. Sincerely, Mike Lewis, President, IRC. It is not the purpose of an honor system to frighten the participants with the knowledge that their fellow students are bound to report any rule infraction, but rather to h elp each individual realize that he or she is a separate, responsible, entity; whose integrity and maturit y are unquestioned. Honor systems of this nature are in use at Haverford •College, Briarcliff Junior College, the " service" academies , and other leading institutions . The question constantly before us is: "should such a system be adopted here?" In March of this year, Dr. Farley suggested to the student body that it should. After thoroughly investigating the situation a student committee recommended to the Junior class that an honor system be adopted by and for that class in the semesters 1953-54 . . Thus it was to be a trial run conducted solely by the present senior class. A t entative constitution was· drawn up and it was decided that the class concerned should vote on the issue on May 19th. At the risk of oversimplification, I would say that the class boiled the issue down to: "is Wilkes ; a young, principally commuter college, ready to adopt an honor system? Apparently, the class thought not. The proposal · was defeat ed by a narrow margin. It is interesting to note that the question generated a great deal of interest , and comments by campus leaders would indicate that it was defeated as a matter of principle rather than personality. Even the staunchest opponents of the proposal conceded the long range desirability of an honor system, but contended that .Wilkes was not (continued on page -l) �Friday, October 16, ·1953 3 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Wilkes vs. Hofstra To Be · Thriller SECOND CHANCE FOR DAVID AGAINST GOLIATH IMPROVED COLONELS TO MEET STRONG TEAM BEACON'S GRAB-BAG --DIKE DIVOTS-By JACK CURTIS "How much is the hotel bill?" ===================================================== ~~~~ By JACK CURTIS "It will be $75 ."

Bo9ters Away Saturday Breznay Scores Twice; Meet Lafayette College Wilkes 26, Ithaca 7 On Saturday, October 17, the Wilkes College soccer team will journey to Easton to play Lafayette College. The Wilkes hooters, with that first victory already under their belts, are confident that they will upset the favored Lafayette team. The Wilkes team is free of the injury plague which seems to hamper the football team's efforts. All Wilkes hooters are in physical shape to go the whole route against the boys from Easton. Lafayette which is always a "soccer ,p ower" has a m ediocre record this year but are heavy favorites to beat the Colonels due to the fact that they have yet to lose to them. Last year's game played at Kirby Park was a hotly contested game which ended in victory for Lafayette, 2-1. The game is scheduled to start in Easton at 12 o'clock. The game was moved up a few hours so the Wilkesmen can return home and enjoy the festivities of homecoming. With Tailback Andy Breznay leading the way with two touchdowns, the first a 64 yard dash on the opening play of the game, the Colonels won their first football game of the season last Friday night over Ithaca College at Ithaca, 26-7. Blocking Back Howie Gross tossed two scoring passes to Ends Paul Gronka and Parker Petrilak and booted a pair of extra points; After the Colonels had gone ahead, 6-0, in the opening seconds, the Ithacans came back to lead briefly on a 30-yard •pass play from Quarterback John Filor to Fullback Tom LaPlaca. But a Gross to Gronka aerial put the visiting Wilkes forces ahead and they never fell behind, putting up a fine defensive showing the rest of the way and adding two more scares. The win was the third in four games with the York Staters. A test pilot is testing a plane and reporting to the test station: 10,000 feet, 30,000 feet, 60,000 feet, 90,000 feet, 100,000 feet, Good Lord! Yes , My son.

CHALK UP ANOTHER The first fo otball win of the year last Friday night at Ithaca , N. Y., gave Wilkes its 33rd victory in fi ve games short of eight seasons, against 19 losses and a quartet of ties. Not a bad r ecord at all and even more impressive when one realizes just how that r ecord has been compiled. Coach George Ralston has been at the h elm of the , Colonel s all of the eight years Wilkes has been engaged in intercollegiate competition. Although he has had some good material to work with-in thos e long gone days of the ex-Gl's- for the most part that winning record has been kept intact with a bunch of guys who just liked to play football. How did Tom Moran put it in the Sunday Independent? Something about chewing gum, chicken wire and tape. Well, we had our 'up" years breifly and we're back to chewing gum, chicken wire and tape, but the record continues with a good majority on the plus side of the ledger. Some sort of a miracle man this Ralston? Or maybe there's something to this play-without-pay 'business after all. Could be catchy. MUCH IMPROVED In registering their first win of the season against Ithaca College, the gridders looked impres3ive, making an upset in tomorrow evening's homecoming hassle look like a definite possibility. We, of course, are again perched precariously way out on that proverbial limb. Freshman Andy Breznay, proved that he can run well in football as well as in elections as he romped .for two touchdowns on dashes of 64 and 16 yards, the long one coming on the first actual play from scrimmage. Andy was recently elect ed vice president of his class. Howie Gross, now firmly entrenched a s the number one pigskin, twirler after a sudden switch from the center post, tossed hi s third and fourth touchdown passes to Ends Paul Gronka and Parker P etrilak in the York State contest. Gronka has r eceived three of those a erials and is currently the leading scor er of the team with 18 points. Breznay is second with 12 and· then con vert ed soccer goalie Petrilak with a solo six-pointer; which shouldn't by any means be his last. ERRORLESS PLAY Gronka drew high praise from Ralston for his play in all three games 'played to date. According to the head coach, the Nanticoke 160-pounder played the best g ame ever played by a Wilkes end-in the Lebanon Valley ga me. "He didn't make a mistake all afternoon, Ralston stated. P etrilak came to football this fall having n ever played before. "He didn't even know an ends proper stance," is how Ralston put it, but his ability to learn fast and a couple sets of glue fingers have earned him a starting nod for tomorrow's game. ,P arker made two beautiful catches at Ithaca. RED FA,CE DEPARTMENT-Coach Ralston had just finished t elling his gridmen that nobody ever gets hurt in soccer, so the rumor goes, when an ambulance drove over to the hooters fi eld to take away an East Stroudsburg STC player, Lee Hill, who had suffered a broken leg. Hill, according to reports from the Pocono Mountain institution had a good chance to make All-American this season. His injury here in last week's game was indeed an unfortunate a ccident. The Wilkes Lettermen were quick :;pringing into action to present the fallen hooter with a gift from the club, representing all Wilkes athletic t eam s.

They will be taken in the Lazarus Photo Studio. The store hours are as follows: Monday-IO A.M . to 9 P.M.; Thursdays-12 noon to 9 P.M.; on ,Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays the store hours are from 10 A.M. to 5:30 P;M. The cost to seniors will be a one dollar sitting fee. This will not be s ubtract~d from t he price of any pictures ordered by the person as it was last year. The reason . . In order to secure decent pictures that will reproduce well, it is necessary to pay for them. Last year's pictures were inexpensive but they were not good. I have worked under the assumption that all seniors will want pictures they can be proud of. There will be no pictures taken in cap and gown this year. This isi a matter of Year book policy . . . I do not believe that people want to be remembered as something in a ca.p and gown that they wore for -only one day of their entire tenure at WC. NOTICE: · Seniors are urged to get to the Lazarus Photo Studio (second floor) sometime during the next week (before October 31). In or der to get their senior portraits they must do this. UNDERGRADUATES Pictures of all underg r aduates will be taken on Wednesday and Thursday, October 28 and 29, or on Wednesday and Thursday, November 5 ·and 6. (Exact date will be announced in Bulletin) . The cost for undergraduate picture will be 75 cents for a sitting. Undergraduates will be given the opportunity to select their picture for the yearbook and also to order pictures for themselves. This was not done last year and it is in part responsible for the increased cost (again the assumption that people want good pictures of themselves caused me to look for a photogrpher that does good work and charges for it .• UNFORTUNATELY.

Windows of the first floor were adorned with paintings pertaining to a scientific theme whHe life-like dummies were surveying on the roof. A flashing neon "E" by the Eng ineering -Club and colorful flags added to this attracti ve display. A spokesman for the Alumni said that competition was keener and the displays more convincing than in previous years. The actual Homecoming plans by the Alumni were a great success. A large number were present for the meeting in the cafeteria Friday night to hear a report by Dr. Farley on the future plans for the coll ege and also a report by Dale Warmouth, as to what the college is like now. Approximately one hundred a lumni were present at the party at the Kingston House Saturday and many attended the Wilkes-Hofstra football game Saturday night. �2 WII..KES COLLEGE BEACON Wilkes College Letters To The Editor- - DRINKING STUDY AT YALE WILL PROVIDE KNOWLEDGE TO REPLACE SPECULATION, Editor's Note : N a val Cadet Beers is well qualified to write the folMISINFORMATION ON COLLEGE DRINKING lowing letter.

After the Honor Board finds a person guilty it recommends a punishment to the Student-Faculty Disciplinary Committee. This body acts on the recommendations and imposes the final punishment. The purpose of this policy change is tw<;>-fold: The first reason is to get ·a uriiform pattern of punishment. In the past, recommendations of punishment have fluctuated according to the circumstances of the case. This has brought about seeming injustices and made the work of the Honor Board very subjective and often extremely difficult. The second reason for the change is a general tightening up of punishments. The Honor Board feels that after four years of operation the honor system has been well impressed\ upon the minds of the students and its implications by now are fully understood. To further impress on the seriousness of a breech of honor, th e punishments have been considerably stiffened. The old method of a warning or restricted status defined as no cuts and no school activities has been completely revamped. The Honor Board now recommends, upon finding a person guilty, one of the following four punishments : Expulsion ~rom school, suspension, an "F" m the course, disciplinary probation or restricted status with the full limitations of disciplinary probation.

Both qualities were in evidence against such football giants as Bloomsburg STC and Hofstra. A spirited battle was fought against each and every team, right down to the final whistle.

Deadline for SSCQT Midnight November 2 Friday, October 30, 1953 ---------------- Your Opinion " • • What is your opinion of this year's hazing program? Bob Darrow: "Hazing is done for several reasons, for example, upper-class girls smear up the faces of fros h girls to make them unattractive to 1:1•ppercfassmen, and upperclassmen cut the hair of frosh boys to render them unattractive to the upperclass girls. I am against hazing, although this year was less traumatic than last. Next ye·a r I hope that it will be non-existant entirely." Sheldon Schneider: "Let the upperclassmen take their aggression on some one else, preferably someone bigger; the frosh have enough trouble. Most institutions of higher learning have done away with this ; they help, rather than hinder. When upperclassmen run around with tincture of violet, that's hitting a new low." * * * * * Allen Feld: " I think that customs were handled very well. After a slow start, interest was built up by both factors, the lowly fros h and the upperclassmen." J erry Elias : "It was followed through in wonderful spirit on the part of everyone." * * * * * Walt C hapko: "I missed the haircuts. I feel that the Lettermen did a good job on the ha zing program, and it should be given back to them. I don't approve of the lipstick smearing method of punishment, and I think that the sentences imposed a few years ago were more effective and appropriate." Leo Kane: "The present system creates needless friction for two r easons: (1) at first, the Frosh are very cooperative. But as time passes the Tribunal, unable to bring many violations to court, fabricates violations. This causes und erstandable resentments among the Frosh. (2) The process drags on too long and loses its punch. Rem edy? Give• the initiation to a coh esive organization, such as the Lettermen, which can restore spontaneity and insure r easonableness in administering punishment." Art Hoover: "The Tribunal should be commended for the job they did in this past initiation, with the exception of the haircut given. I consider this ch1ldish n the eyes of college students . Furthermore, I advocate turning the initiation over to the Lettermen." ::, * * * * Joe Wilk: "I don't think the hazing was properly enforced. The fresh-men of this year really had a pretty easy time of things." ***** Nancy Batcheler: "Last year's hazing was much stricter-and much more effective. In my opinion, this year's hazing was a big farce-which could just have been eliminated entirely." * t.< * ::, ::( Harold Jenkins: "Compared to the hazing that we, the class of '55,. went through, this was absolutely minute. " * * * ::: * Barbara Bialogowicz: "The freshman hazing this year was entirely· too lenient. The upperclassmen seemed to have no interest whatever.

Thank you, For a while it looked like the Colonel footballers were doomed Fowler Gray FOOTBALLERS ·SHOW SPIRIT •to a bad seasoon. This was attributed to two things. For one thing, they were matched against big schools with powerful teams. Another factor was the injury jinx which hampered the team from the very firs·t gctme. Between ·t he two, a dismal season appeared imminent. The Colonels did ' have some things to their credit though, 1hey had spirit and determination. Both qualities were in evidence against such football giants as Bloomsburg STC and Hofstra. A spirited battle was fought against each and every team, right down to the final whistle. This spirit and determination really manifes,t ed itself last week against Trenton STC with the Colonels coming home with a victory under their beHs. The BEACON joins the student body in saluting the footballers on its success. Keep up the good work. But win, lose or draw, Colonels, we're all behind you. Deadline for SSCQT Midnight November 2 Friday, October 30, 1953 ---------------- Your Opinion " • • What is your opinion of this year's hazing program? Bob Darrow: "Hazing is done for several reasons, for example, upper-class girls smear up the faces of fros h girls to make them unattractive to 1:1•ppercfassmen, and upperclassmen cut the hair of frosh boys to render them unattractive to the upperclass girls. I am against hazing, although this year was less traumatic than last. Next ye·a r I hope that it will be non-existant entirely." Sheldon Schneider: "Let the upperclassmen take their aggression on some one else, preferably someone bigger; the frosh have enough trouble. Most institutions of higher learning have done away with this ; they help, rather than hinder. When upperclassmen run around with tincture of violet, that's hitting a new low." * * * * * Allen Feld: " I think that customs were handled very well. After a slow start, interest was built up by both factors, the lowly fros h and the upperclassmen." J erry Elias : "It was followed through in wonderful spirit on the part of everyone." * * * * * Walt C hapko: "I missed the haircuts. I feel that the Lettermen did a good job on the ha zing program, and it should be given back to them. I don't approve of the lipstick smearing method of punishment, and I think that the sentences imposed a few years ago were more effective and appropriate." Leo Kane: "The present system creates needless friction for two r easons: (1) at first, the Frosh are very cooperative. But as time passes the Tribunal, unable to bring many violations to court, fabricates violations. This causes und erstandable resentments among the Frosh. (2) The process drags on too long and loses its punch. Rem edy? Give• the initiation to a coh esive organization, such as the Lettermen, which can restore spontaneity and insure r easonableness in administering punishment." Art Hoover: "The Tribunal should be commended for the job they did in this past initiation, with the exception of the haircut given. I consider this ch1ldish n the eyes of college students . Furthermore, I advocate turning the initiation over to the Lettermen." ::, * * * * Joe Wilk: "I don't think the hazing was properly enforced. The fresh-men of this year really had a pretty easy time of things." ***** Nancy Batcheler: "Last year's hazing was much stricter-and much more effective. In my opinion, this year's hazing was a big farce-which could just have been eliminated entirely." * t.< * ::, ::( Harold Jenkins: "Compared to the hazing that we, the class of '55,. went through, this was absolutely minute. " * * * ::: * Barbara Bialogowicz: "The freshman hazing this year was entirely· too lenient. The upperclassmen seemed to have no interest whatever. The hazing period should last only a short time, but making it extremely tough for the freshmen, to keep them on their toes."

Partridge, Soccer Coach, Wilkes College LIVING TESTIMONY It's tough to fight your way up from the bottom of the pile. The soccer team at Wilkes ,College is living testimony to that truism. For four years, due to one circumstance or another, victory passed us by. We have had teams during that period which would have won a game or two but for ·unfortunately the case was not such. ' There were two elements grossly lacking in Wilkes soccer teams of the past - confidence and dignity. Soccer is a comparative newcomer to the Wyoming Valley scene. It's true that a generation or two a go, this area knew soccer, in fact, it was one of the chief athletic attractions in the coal regions. Its popularity waned, however, as football (an offspring of soccer) cll,me on the scene. Introducing soccer at Wilkes College in the spring of 1949, and watching it grow over the en suing five seasons can be likened to the father who has high hopes that his son will be a great athlete and with great anguish watches him stumble his way through his early years. Then, suddenly for no apparent reason, the youth begins to walk in a more steadfast manner, his confidence in himself assured despite repeated setbacks . Ere long the boy finds that h e is as big as the other guys who have been bullying him and h e strikes back . There is pride in the father's eye and jubilation in the heart of the boy when suddenly he finds that he is a man and is able to walk away from other men with dignity and respect The defeats he had suffered had been hard to take, but each one had had a m eaning in the pattern of his young life. Each one added to the experience which one day saw him a victor. · SP ARK WAS THERE Satisfaction is not exactly the term that could be used to describe our feelings after the victory over Rider College in the opening game of the season, our first victory in history. W e were happy, of course, ·but we were not at a ll sure that it wasn't a "fluke." It gave us a spark, however. A less valiant group of m en might have said, "What's the use?" when we seemed to re ·;ert to form in losing to powerful East Strouds·burg, but there was certainly no doubt in anyone's mind concernin g our 6-1 victory over L o c k H a· v en , a team w hich had come to u s fresh from a stalemate with one of the strongest teams in the country. Losing to Lafayette, 2-1 , at Easton was a setback that could dampen the spirit of the staunchest of men. It looked a s though just that had happened as the Wilkes team played its lack-lustre worst in bowing to Elizabethtown College the following Sunday by a 5-1 score. Over a fiv e-year period, I considernd this game the nadir. In it, ·the soccer performers' disappointment was great, but faith had not faded. Three days later, the same team, injury-riddled, to be sure, but with great heart, rose to the occasion and reversed the score over Elizabethtown on the losers' home grounds. That meant that over a three-day period, we were just eight goals better. What had hap pened? DESPAIR TO VICTORY Who can t ell what strikes the h earts of men and makes it possible for them to rise from the depths of despair to the h eights of victory? Four days later, a t eam which had battled to a scoreless tie with East Stroudsburg, one of the five top teams in the nation, came to Wilkes-Barre to fatten its record in the win column at the expense of a t eam generally considered to be a pushover. Either the Trenton State team h adn't read of our exploits, or the Wilkesmen hadn't read of theirs. Regardless of which was the case, this much is true. The Wilkes College soccer team, with seven men in the starting lineup suffering from injuries and two others - potential starters - sitting on the bench with ankles and legs taped, smote down the titan from Trenton ·i n a most convincing ·manner. Our sid.e had reached a peak in experience, confidence and heart. The Trenton m en were actually stunned as time and again we took the play away from them. 'T he 4-0 shutout, first in our history, was certainly a tribute to the fine defensive work of seniors Jim Moss, Dick Hawk, Bill Mergo, Lefty K emp, and Charlie Zezza and newcomer Koo Younsu. Playing perhaps his finest and most determined game, Flip Jones switched from his regular center halfback post to center forward and went out in the proverbial blaze of glory, leading the offensive attack with three goals. GOODBYES NOT EASY Dick Polakowski ana' Hank Deibel flanked the team's attack in a most commendable fashion.

Teachers Institute Hears Wilkes Teachers On Octob er 29-30, 1953 the Pennsylvania State Education Association in joint meeting with the Annual Education Meeting of Luzerne County Teach ers held its 29th Annual convention. The P .S.E.A., in common with the profession organization of teachers spends about half its time with working on status of teachers and education and the remainder of its time improving the school program. The theme this year was " Learning to Live With Others." Four of the Wilkes faculty attended these meetings: Doctor H. W. Thatcher, Head of History Departm ent; Doctor Virginia Neel, Dean of Women; Miss Ruth Jessee, Department of Nursing Instruction; and Mr. Verne Bunn, Instruction in Retail Merchandise. On Friday, the thirtieth, many of the sections broke up into departments according to teaching interest. In the Social Studies section, the address given by Dr. Thatcher was "Learning to Li ve With Other Nations". "How Do You Advise" was the topic chosen by Dr. N eel. Mr. Bunn was the leader for the pan el "Visual Aids in Commercial Education" while Miss J essee's address was "Nurses are Teachers".

Government Courses For Local Officials Offered At Wilkes The Public Service Institute of the Department of Public Instruction has for years been conducting institutes for local governmental officials at the University of Pitts: burgh and at the University of Pennsylvania. Through the cooperation of Dr. Hugo Mailey of the Political Science department, the Institute now offers several courses at Wilkes for municipal officials in Luzerne County. Every Wednesday afternoon an advanced police class meets in Butler Annex. Conducted by Detective Frank Flynn, an approved Public Service Institute instructor, the course is intended to give police an intimate knowledge of the duties, procedures, and techniques in police work. The course is offered free of charge. Other classes especially designed for magistrates, borough and first class township officials will be offered by the Institute and the College.

Too many of the students are still in "high school", for it seems that their interests still lie there. The college is for the students educationally and socially and it is just as much their duty to make every event successful as it is to get good grades. :)t Patsy Fox: I believe the social .p rogram at Wilkes is fine except for one thing. Why do all the formals come all at once~at the end of the year, when there is plenty of time at the beginning of the year, between September and December, for a dance?

Wanted: One Complete Budget At last the Administrative Council has gotten around to ratifying the budget,-ratifying, that is, one half of it. We can alway~ rationalize and say that one half is .better than none a•n d that may be true, a -s far as it goes. However, the clubs which have not received budget approval do deserve an explanation as to why their respective budgets were not approved. Along with this, they should be given some information regarding the· steps being ,t aken by the Administrative Council and/ or the Student Council, on this budget problem. These clubs_have activity schedules to plan and it is a virtual impossibility to do such planning without some sort of a tentative budget. Let us quicken our pace on this budget problem.

America's Finest Cigarette �Friday, .November 13, 1953 3 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON WINTER SPORTS PICTURE .BRIGHT 1)11\~ l)IVOT§ By JACK CURTIS Colonel Cagers Look Stronger Than Ever OUR OWN CAPONE Grogan was the picture of a N ew York mobster of the Capone variety, carrying Russ Picton's sawed off shotgun. With white bucks, horned rim glasses and the pump gun with a 20-inch barrel, Grogan was a frightening sight. He must have scared all the animules too, for by the time the party returned the members were considering taking shots at each other. All or the sake of sport, of course. Maybe this is the year for winning sea sons. We can't figure out why, but. the spirit is there. And what spirit! Last year the lack of said quality cm the wrestling squad was disturbing, to say the very least. This year there is definitely no lack. We happened to catch one of the drill sessions the other day at the gym. Coach Johnny Reese wasn't able to make it that night (seems the Reeses are expecting a little visitor),so Bob Masonis took over the practice. Had it been last year, the crew would have taken to tossing basketballs around or something else unrelated to the mat game, but this -p articular day the boys really went at it, believe us. BRING ON MISERICORDIA At the end of the seemingly endless workout, Masonis, who is an outstanding candidate for the 177-pound class, joshed with the guys telling them that if they all kept up the hard work, "Wrestling Lefayette will seem like wrestling Misericordia." He no doubt meant that the Leopards would be easy, but several of the basketball players, overhearing the remark and jumping to conclusions, offer(ld their services to the wrestling team. "When do we rassle Misery?" is the cry nowadays at the gym. Seems they're all for it. See what we mean about spirit? Well, the gridders make their last appearance before the · home folk tomorrow evening. We really hope that a good crowd will turn out to pay their respects to the team. You know, it's been a tough haul this season, but the Colonels have come through like champions. As representatives of the school and student body on the intercollegiate sports level, they have done us proud. Now is a chance to show a little appreciation. This is not meant to sound like typical college "rah-rah" stuff, but just a little common logic . . HERE'S YOUR CHANCE, BACKSLAPPERS A pat on the back is appreciated by the tops in every profession, in fact by people in all walks of life, big or little .p eople as they may be. The only way theaverageguy has of patting his school's team on the back is by supporting it to the hilt. A banner crowd tomorrow night would eliminate a lot of back slapping. Who knows, that added incentive may mean the difference in the game. And according to the psychologists, inspiration or a lack of it can win or lose ball games. Down at Adelphi, when Jerry Wright was laid out-for the first time this season-Captain Joe Trosko called time out. There were less than three minutes left in the game. Wilkes was leading, 14-13, and the Panthers were on the Colonel eight-yard line. Trosko said only a few well chosen words in that huddle, "Let's get that ball for Jerry." On the next two plays Adelphi was thrown for 30 yards and Wilkes won the game. At the conclusion of the tilt, Wright was presented with the game ball. After every game, the ball is presented to a member of the win. ning team. The team decides who is to get it. There are two other guys for whom the team wants to earn pigskins. Oddly, there are just two games left to play. Can they do it? Well, you know what we think. All male students interested in playing intr_a -mural basketball are requested to meet in the gymnasilm next Thursday, November 19 .1t 11 a. m. Art Hoover, Student Director of Intramural Sports Next Saturday afternoon the Wilkes football team climaxes the 1953 gridiron season with a game at Bethlehem, Pa., going against Moravian College. Wilkes defeated the Greyhounds here last year n a lacklustre tilt, 15-6, but the L'ehigh Valley collegiate eleven is a much improved team this season, even though the record wouldn't indicate it. Moravian is one of the strongest defensive teams in Pennsylvania and should give the Colonels trouble, though the Ralstonmen are favored to cop the tilt. Gametime for the tilt is scheduled for 2 p.m. at Mora vian's home field in Bethlehem. After a week of pre-season drills, the basketball picture is beginning to take shape. With virtually every man returned from last year's squad, the Wilkes hoopsters look for one bf the best seasons on the intercollegiate court in history. Al Goldman was the only man lost by graduation. THOSE EXTRA-CURRICULAR SPORTS Extra-currcular sports have been abound in recent weeks. A certain segment of the male student body has been in its glory. Now don't get us wrong! What we are refering to is small game season which has taken a goodly number of Wilkesmen out of the classrooms and into the woods. Heading the list of returnees is We'll have to admit that we have been one of Lenny Batroney, honorable menthem. Our first ·day in the thick produced one possible shot with the 12-gauge shot gun, but we didn't have the heart to kill that sparrow. A number of hunting parties made up exclusively of Wilkes students have been out so far. The stories that come back from those expeditions are sometimes true and sometimes just a little on the exaggerated side, but always choked full of humor. One of the first groups to head up the mountain was made up of Ed Grogan, Bob Croucher, Mike Weinberger, Jerry Lind, and a greenhorn yogi. All the safari produced was one grouse, that one questionably downed by Weinberger, to whom Croucher CURTIS refers as "Leave 'em in the Woods Alive Bu~kberger." Seems he shot him on the ground. We were off in the woods about 50 yards, when we heard a blast from Mike's gun and a yelp following the echo of the blast. "I got one;'' cried Mike. Rushing over we saw him crouched over a good sized grouse. Looking up pathetically, like a child who had been found out after doing something wrong, he muttered, with hand over his eyes, "Pick it up, will ya, I can't." Never did eat the bird either. "Guess I'm just soft-hearted," he muses. You should hear what the boys had to say Such a red face! NOTICE! GRIDDERS END IT ALL - NEXT WEEK, AWAY LEN BATRONEY tion All-American the past two years and the holcl.er of almost every basketball record at Wilkes. A senior in his fourt h year of varsity competition, Batroney will smash new records every time he scores this season and is being counted on heavil y. Other r eturnees who r eported for The Wilkes wrestling team should win at least half of its meets this year, according to Wrestling Coach John Reese. Reese told a Beacon reporter this week that he would he "very disappointed" if his ma1men didn't win at least half of their outings this winter. The new coach has brought a new feeling of excitement and in~ terest in the mat game with him early drills at the gym the past week are Jim Atherton, John Milliman, Joe Sikora, Jim Moss, Jim Ferris, Bob Heltzel, Carl Van Dyke, Joe Jablonski, Frank Kopicki, Ed Troutman, Bernie Wisniewski, Jack Vivian, and Joe Popple. Harry "Skinny" Ennis heads the Warren Yeisley, Mike Lewis, Lou Steck, Al Smith, and Sam Shugar. Newcomers to th e mat game at Wilkes make up the bulk of the squad, how ever. They include Bob Masonis, a veteran of Kingston and Franklin and Marshall mat experience, Don McFadden, former GAR and Springfield College ace, Chuck Acore, Don Reynolds, Al Li eberman, Carl Karasik, Bob Kopicki, Dick Bartlebaugh, Tom Carter, Dave Gehman, and Ken Lantelme. Expected to join the squad after football season are George Elias, veteran of Wilkes and Meyers wrestling, Ray Tait, a Coughlin and Wilkes matman, and Neil Dadurka, former standout at Forty Fort. (continued on page 4) BOB REYNOLDS it seems, for a squad of some 16 grapplers working out daily at the Wilkes gym has shown spir it and drive never before revealed by Colonel groaners. Included in the squad, which will grow in size after football season, is Bob Reynolds, who with his freshman brother, Don, forms the only fa mil y act in a sport on campus.

Stetz Mat Coach Predicts Good Season in 1953-54 GEORGE RALSTON Basketball Coach boys come home from State College as Pennsylvania schoolboy champions. He has great plans for Wilkes wrestling, which he says is definitely "on the upsw ing." George Ralston is not a newcomer to the court scene by any means. Ralston, who is also Director of Athletics, Dean of Men and Head Football coach here, has guided Wilkes basketball teams since 1946. A graduate of the University of North Carolina, class of 1940, Ralston is an advocate of the "country st yle" of basketball-with th e emphasis on fundam entals . Teams of the past have done quite well under his tutelage. BILL MOCK Asst. Basketball Coach Former Baron Bill Mock, former Wilkes-Barre Barons baseball and basketball performer and an All-American cage candidate at Duke University in the "blessed South," is the a ssistant basketball coach at Wlkes for the second straight year. In his fi rst season here, Mock coached an undefeated freshman team. At present he is in charge of pre-season drills in the absence of Head Coach Ralston, who is still busy with football. In the hands of these th ree, lies th e fate of Wilk es t eams thi s wint er.

Testing·Service Offers Graduate Business Test Educational T esting Service has just announced that beginning with the academic year 1953-54, a group of business schools and divisions will require applicants for admission to graduate study in the fall of 1954 to take the Admission Test for Graduate Study in Business. Among these institutions are the graduate business schools or divisions of the following universities: Columbia, Harvard, Northwestern, Rutgers, Seton Hall, Chicago, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Washington(St. Louis). A candidate must make separate application for admission to each business school or division of his choice and should inquire of each whether it wishes him to take the Admission Test for Graduate Study in Business and when. Since many business schools and divisions select their entering classes in the spring prece_ding their entrance, candidates for admission to the 1954 classes are advised to offer the February test, if possible. The Admission Test for Graduate Study in Business is not designed to test specific knowledge in specialized academic subjects Normal undergraduate training should provide sufficient general knowledge to answer the test questions. Sample questions and information regarding registration for and administration of the test are given in a Bulletin of Information. The tests will be administered on February 6, 1954 and May 13, 1954 Applications and fees must be filed AM PUS ANDIDS C Juniors Take Over From Sophs; Gym to be Scene of Trolling Turkeys By JEAN KRAVITZ Mr. Casper (to Art Hoover): The Junor Class is gettng set to start off the Thanksgiving "What are you going to do when you grow up?" weekend with a bang by sponsoring the annual Turkey Trot.

The first was by Soccer Coach Bob Partridge. Others will follow throughout the 1953-54 school year.Sports Editor.) By George F. Ralston, Head F ootball Coach, Wilkes College CUE 'N' CURTAIN PLA YERS- ln a scene from "The Master Builder," presented three evenings last week by the Wilkes dramatic club, Cue 'n' Curtain, are four principle members of the cast. Left to right, Basia Mieszkowski, Nick Flannery, Don Kaye, and Katia Karas. The play was well received at all three performances. All Players Excell In Roles; Audien~e Moved By Performance By MARGE LUTY Intent audiences last Friday and Saturday nights found it tlifficult to sway their attention from the stage upon which Cue 'n' Curtain performers lived for the moment the lives of characters both strange and famiH.ar to them. "The Master Builder," by Henrik Ibsen, was in reality a play <;>f u1:1certainty and ~nsecurity, and the audience, perhaps echomg its own uncertamty and insecurity, responded with concern over the outcome of the play. Although some members of the audience, accustomed as they are to lighter fare from movies and TV, undoubtedly found the play a bit deep, they nevertheless felt an intense interest in how the play fixed upon the action on-stage, This would end, and kept all their senses strange fact of audience interest in a play even when completely "snowed" by it is due, this reporter believes, to the high caliber of the acting. Under Mr. Alfred S. Groh's sensitive direction the actors developed finely into the strongly motivated, absorbing characters they were representing. Nick Flannery, in the leading role of Halvard Solness, was both convincing and mo'v ing as the ambitious architect who let nothing stand in the way of his rise to power. Nick's acting was forceful and he easily dominated all his scenes. Not once during the three acts did Halvard Solness lose mastery over the pl,a y and become a ·-;:~Is:: Expert Clothler 9 EAST MARKET ST•• Wilkes-Bane. Pa. JORDAN Est. 1871 · Men's Furnishings and Hats of Quality tt 9 West Market Street Wilkes-Barre, Pa. lesser figure but he early lassoed his audience and held it fascinated while he showed it the workings of a madman's mind, Although ths was Nick's first appearance on the Wilkes stage, he has not been without theatrical experience, a s was shown by the skillful manner in which he handled the difficult part of Solness. In an unsympathetic role Nick neverthe less was ,a ble to create in the audience feelings of empathy and even pity. We may hope for equally good f performances in the future rom this newly discovered star. Basia Mieszkowski, for the first . · t 1me p 1aymg .a 1ea d'mg ro1e on a Wilkes stage, did an amazingly competent job of portraying Hilda, brilliantly youthful, ,bi.it warmly mature in some of her actions. Basia gave .a shining performance, and sunshine and cheer seemed to emanate from her. Wherever she moved, she drew the light with her as the rest of the stage grew gloomier in contrast. Basia in this play has added another tal ent, as we discover in her possibilities of artistic aptitudes in drama as well as in music. Her versatility may be pointed out by contrasting Hilda with Basia's role as the dreamy Alice in "Hotel Universe" two semesters ago. Katia Karas did an extremely fine bit of acting as Mrs. Solness. Withdrawn, reserved, Mrs. Solness was possibly the only person in the play who completely deservedand received -sympathy. Deeply tragic in the ancient dramatic sense of one who has done nothing to evoke the fate which is hers, Katia, the d.ark figure in the movement of the play, gave a performance so understanding of the character that she will long be rem embered, even though her ,p art was not as prominent as those of the other two major characters. A rather surprising piece of work was done by Catherine Stuccio as one of the minor characters. Catherine was charming as the sweet, impressionable Kaia but the real test came when, as Mr. Soln ess' bookkeeper, Catherine had to be on-stage for long p eriods of time without detracting attention from the scene going on between Soln ess and Hilda. To keep oneself in the background or a long period of time on stage is a quite difficult fe87t, fo~ in Kay's case it ~eant remainmg m charater dunng a time when, simply because sh e would not be noticed, she might have been t empted to r elax and enjoy the scene. The part of Old Brovik was taken by Peter Margo, who in past years has always given very fine performances. Although Pete was quite dramatic in his short scene as the dying architect, an impression was left that the scene was perhaps a trifle too dramatic. It may be that the earliness of the scene in the • play contributed to this impression, for the play atmosphere had not yet worked up to a tenseness which would provide the right emotional baekground for as dev eloped a tone as Brovik displayed. Then, too, the extreme brevity of Brovik's appearance did not allow very much opportunity for the audience to grasp the character. Dr. H erd el, played by a n ewcomer to Wilkes theatre, Donald Kaye, stru ck this reporter as a S'lightly wavery character. The good Doctor, who should have been the only solid and secure ndividual in the play, instead cast doubts about whether he was a:ctually a weak person or was only uncertain before the Master Builder. It is our opinion, however, that Don Kaye will be an interesting person to watch if his next role offers a little more for him to base character development on. Kenneth Hitchner, as the young, uncertain ,a rchitect, was a little colorless in the first act, but later on in the play his performance gained assurance and he gave what may be one of the best representations of reserved bitterness seen in Wilkes drama for years. Kenny has a very nice speaking voice, which is a real asset to an actor; it may be that he also possesses the sensitivity to emotions which s the greatest asset to an actor, As with the other young perform ers in "The Master Builder," time will show what he is capable of. In general the play was a deeply engrossing one, well acted, and much appreci-ated by responsive audiences. Mr. Groh's directing was artistically adapted to the aesthetic tone of Ibsen's great play, as the prologues which he wrote for each of the three acts clearly show. Before one can compose such poetic prose, expressing the message and theme of the play so beautifully, one must have entered into the feeling of the play, Throughout the play the creativeness of the director was as apparent as that of the actors. Clearly it had been through Mr. Groh's directing that Cue 'n' Curtain was abl e to do as good a job on the very difficult play they had. "The Master Builder" has been a challenge which director, cast and committees have met admirably. Cu e 'n' Curtain would like agnin to thank Mr. Joseph Kanner who was im:me'.3-surably. h elpful to the group m mterp i,:etmg the understanding of the play. l FACE SEASON REALISTICALLY The eighth year of Wilkes football has passed. We are realistic enough to know that it has not been a banner year. Two weeks- ago, a more glittering resume could have been made, Bridgeport and Moravan were spoilers, We congratulate them; our squad did not succumb easily in eith er game. The plan called for two final victories; however, our great system of competitive games offers equal opportunities but only one · winner, and that prize was denied us in our last two attempts. From a won and lost standpoint we have had a losing season. But is the record the great prize in intercollegiate football? Before the season began it was thought that this would be a difficult year. We were confident of our line from tackle to tackle, but at the ends and in the backfield, we held grave doubts - especially in the backfield. In the outcome the prediction was accurate - but with an exception; our ends came through splendidly, as a matter of fact they were brilliant. The backs were inexperenced, plagued by injuries, and moved from position to position so very often that an individual back could n ever master one posiRalston tion. In the backfield it was " touch and go" all season. Because of the sensitiv e balance in the 1953 squad (there was always the threat of a preponderant imbalance) our performance pulse was uneven. Our squad was up and down. NOT READY FOR BLOOM It was not ready for Bloomsburg. We just were not quite ready for such a strong opener, and we knew it. E veryone thought we were at ebb tide in losing to Lebanon Valley. This was our poorest effort. Our best games were wth Hofstra, Ithaca, and Bridgeport. Although two of these games were lost, our team played well which was a joy for those of us in charge. The Moravian game was a toss-up from the beginning. It was our first half, but they won the second, and it was a better half than the first, Moravian had scouted us perfectly and it payed off. It was a bitter pill to lose this one. And so the record lists - 3 won, 5 lost. This is surely recorded for all time. It is a tangible result of the season. Had all the games been won, it would carry the same tangible value. But when we come to our sensible selves, is it really important whether we won or lost? If we ask ourselves this question honestly, we can find relief from the all too prevalent, emotionally savored desire to win which is abroad .t oday; and w e will be baek on the main road of an intercollegiate athletic program consistent with common sense and with Wilkes College. This is not to say that we are belittling winning or the will to win. Our squad had an intense desire to win. What would America be without the will to win? We merely mean that winning is not all important and we must not let it run away with our common sense. PAYS HIGH TRIBUTE It is my sincere desire to pay tribute to the football squad of 1953. A group which at its height numbered forty-two, still claimed thirtyfour athletes at the final game. The record shows that those boys who reported, stayed with the most demanding of team games, sacrificed time and energy, tolerated adverse conditions, sustained the most severe physical demands, and were cooperative with those chosen to instruct. Some men were outstanding; many were steady ; others because of the rules of the game itself, accepted partially inactive rolls and participated little in the activity of the game. Above all, every man was a loyal, spirited, vital member of the squad. Every man played his part. This was not our greatest squad talent-wise; but in my mind we have never had a group more willing, loyal, and cooperative. Finally, none of our squads has outdone the 1953 squad in sportsmanship. Of this we are signally proud. The exemplary sportsmanship of our former football sq uads s remembered throughout our sphere of competance. UPHELD FINE REPUTATION The squad of 1953 has upheld that fine reputation; it kept the flag of ideolism flying high; it maintained the spirit of the rules and a gentlemanly respect for the advisery whether the fight was going for or against. For this, my h eartfelt thanks and congratulations to the squad of 1953. Though more games were lost than won, we had a successful season. Our squad kept the victory which has been ours and which is far more important than a won and lost record. _ Each gentleman held high the shining lesson of sportsmanship; of, "Friendship Through Contest;" of loyalty, shoulder to shoulder in the stands and on the team-loyalty to our institution an ideal bigger and finer than ourselves, to the whole high purpose of your college and mine.

RIGHT IN YOUR OWN BACK YARD According to our computations, th er e was one played almost every night. And those poor g uys on the field aren't ev en g etting what the big time collegians get-a bare minimum of a scholarship. What good would it do them, anyway ? When th e hi gh schools began playing on Frida y ni ghts we saw it coming. Too many people work on Saturdays," was the excuse-a forthright admittance that the schools are looking for crowds. Okay, so they played Fridays for a while. The gates got better, for then more people could see more than one game. The poor schools, those which couldn't afford lights or rental for a stadium with .Jights, had to string along with Saturday dates. Then the city schools started playing some games CURTIS on Thursday evenings. And another school figured ther e would be less interference if it played on Wednesdays. If we recall correctly, that W ednesday stuff started only last year. Three different week s this season, there were high school games on Monday, two weeks on Tuesday. Let us put a qu estion to those responsible. Ever try to study after playing 48 minutes of football? It's not easy, let us clue you. GATES,DOLLARS,CENTS Oh, we know what the excuse will be for th e last two weeks. "The snow storm, we had to play make-up games." But why, then let us ask, weren't th ey all played on Monday instead of stret ching over into Tuesday and Wednesday and even to a week later-on Monday and Tuesday of course? There is only one answer. Gates, dollars, cents. We're like the next guy, like to make a fast buck, but there are places where we draw a line. That was a terrific crowd at Meyers Stadium for Coughlin's upset of GAR. Probably six or seven thousand people including the entire student bodies of both schools. Had school the next day, too . Just doesn't fi g ure. We're no crusad er, but we do hate to see high school football take the road that's ruining the game as a game in a majority of colleges . Dr. Eugen e S. Farley, president of Wilkes College, had the right idea in an article for the program of the Bridgepor t-Wilkes game when he said, "It has been and will be our constant effort to see that athletics are used for th e benefit of the students and that the students are not exploited for the benefit of the t eam." Right on th e b eezer, Doc.

The Wilkes basketball team will play a light 19-game schedule this winter it was announced this morning by Director of Athletics George Ralston. The Colonels open the season a,t home with Ithaca College a week from tomorrow, December 2. In releasing the schedule for the 1953-54 campaign, Ralston stated, "I think we have a fine yea·r ahead of us. The schedule is certainly interesting and the team looks good." Coach Ralston 's football eleven jumped t o a quick six-point lead at ha lftim e, but crumbled under the t re mendous ground offense hurled at them by th e ins pired Greyhounds . Mo1,a vian's first goalward thrust t ook fo r m on its own 45-yard line in the final stanza of the game. Jim E vanko and Bill Marsh alternated on the ground, moving tha ball a cross the goal line in just t en plays. Late in the same period, Luke Kemmerer joined Marsh in a march from the 46 to th e Colonel 22-yard · line. Evanko w ent straight up the middle to the 3, and on the next play plowed into the lin e for the score. Champ Storch kick ed both points af t er touchdown. Colonels Control First Half The Colonels controll ed the fir st half of play. H owie Gross completed fou r of eleven passes as th e Wilkesmen pil ed up 84 yards through th e air. A toss to Neil Dadurka, who was brought down on th e seven, set up the lone Colonel score. George Elias th en handed off to Ron Fitzgerald who swept wide around left end for the tally. The hard charging Moravian line bottled up the Colonels the remainder of th e gam e. The Wilkesmen, in t he third p eriod, were unable to move past th eir own twenty-yard marker. Fullback George Elias turn ed in a sup erb p erformance for the Colon els. His bull-like rushing and neat faking up set many a Moravian def ensive setup.

Meet, Pfl0r J �6 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Chapko vs. Scribes; Sophomores Lucky Comes Out Second Best On Friday, the 13th What can a guy do, or better, what must he do to get a little publicity that belongs to him? Not that we're saying Walt Chapko is looking for publicity, it's just that the poor guy just can't seem to get any, at least any credit where credit is due. The Colonel tailback scored the second Wilkes touchdown in the Hofstra game. A picture in the Sunday Independent, in which Walt was buried under the pile and out of sight, nevertheless credited the score to Bill Sanford of the Dutchmen. You really couldn't tell on that one. Then in the Record last Saturday morning, Walt's picture did appear. Only this time, the writeup which was to accompany it got lost in a mix-up and Sports Editor Bob Patton hurriedly dashed off a three-line paragraph to go under it. Foiled again! Then came the clincher. It's not that Walt has anything against George Elias, but in the Sunday Independent of two weeks ago a picture showed Walt being tackled, after a good gain, by Bridgeport defenders, while the caption called the ball-carrier Elias, not Chapko. It also said he had been thrown for a loss. Adding insult to injury we call it. A former BEACO N scribe, Walt will have to start writin' his own stuff if he's going to see it in print, it seems. Never a word of complaint, though. Alumni Postpones Play Indefinitely The Alumni Association presentation of "Here's To Ya", original1y scheduled for November 28, has been postponed indefinitely. Plans of the Alumni called for a series of skits and musical numbers without a definite theme. How~ver, during rehearsals a continuity developed which gave rise to the idea of a Broadway-type musical. In the short time that was left, the Alumni were not able to complete the preparations necessary for the production of the musical. In ord er to present a production worth y of the script and music, the Alumni Association has regretfully announced that "Here's To Ya" will not be prensented until a later date.

Several of the weight classes are expected to be bolstered with the end of ootball season. Bob Fay, Ra y Tait, Don McFadden, Neil Dadurka, and J erry Elias, all engaged in gridiron activity, are considered good prospects for the grappling contingent. They are to report this week. Last Friday, the 13th, proved to be very lucky for the non-superstitious Sophomores. Those of you who were not to be found at the gym that evening, certainly missed the big doings, for the dance was one ·of the most successful and well attended of the social season. Joe Miozza and his boys provided the smooth music, ranging from the sweet and dreamy, to the real crazy bee-bop. Highlighting the evening was the variety show with the one and only Skinny Ennis and his crew. There were jokes (plenty of them) and a delightful schoolday skit with ·Professor Lou Steck trying to conduct a class of so-called students including Cliff Brautigan, Jerry Linn, and Ennis. The results were very amusing. As the grand finale, Skinny did his old time performance of introducing several methods fro boy to meet girl on a park bench. The part of the charming female was portrayed by Harry (Big Skinny) Ennis. Meanwhile, baek at the ranch, the crew gave a wonderful showing. The Sophs are now putting their efforts into the Turkey Trot, and are hoping that it will be just as successful. Tuesday, November 24, 1953 U. .of Bridgeport (continued from page 5) here, Gianesello threw to Cirone, making the score 14-12. The Purple Knights thrust into the lead late in the second stanza. The Colonels' Walt Chapko, attempting to pass, was caught behind the line and spilled hard. The ball was jarred loose and picked up by Bridgeport's DiMatteo, who raced for the score. Gianesello once more opened his brilliant passes in the third period. He completed three out of seven before throwing to Cirone for the final touchdown of the game. COLONEL GRIDDER LOSES HIS FATHER With sincere regret we of the BEACON announce the death of the father of Arne Nelson, W eckesser Hall dorm student and Wilkes football player. Arne's father, Mr. John F. Nelson, passed away last week at Teaneck, N. J. The entire student body and staff of the BEACON join in offering heart-felt sympathy to Arne and his family after such a great loss.
