FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1959 MIKE DYDO IS ATHLETE OF YEAR IN BEACON'S ANNUAL BALLOTING by MORGAN DA VIS, Sports Editor MIKE DYDO, senior all-round intercolegiate athlete was selected from a field of seventeen contestants to be 1958-59 Athlete of the Year. For the four years that Mike has been active in school athletics he .has been held in high regard by both the Coaches and BEACON staff, but his real value to both the baseball and , football teams didn't appear in its proper perspective untill this, his final year at Wilkes. Mike Dydo Photo by Swett With the realization that "Big" Mike won't be around next year to stand the 60-minute grind in filling the holes on the line or to be pulled in from his regular fielding position to take his turn on the mound and win four games at this writing, the impressed coaches and writing staff selected Dydo to be the Beacon's outstanding athlete.· Mike was co-captain of the grid team this past season and if he didn't fill the tackle position with a lot of weight, he did fill it with a great deal of know-how, experience, and determination. He was selected a little earlier in the year to receive the Howard W. Davis Award for excellence in athletics. His strong outfielder's arm was utilized to the maximum this year when he took on the regular role of pitcher for the Blue and Gold diamond men. He has a winning season going so far and is still more impressive at the plate when he gets his usual collection of doubles and triples. Balloting for the honor took place earlier this week, with the Director of Athletics, Director of Sports Publicity, coaches and the Sports staff of the Beacon turning in their votes. The official voting showed some real competition for top honors, with sophomore wrestler and gridder Marvin Antinnes giving Mike (continued on page 4) 'Cindy' Features Fantasy/and Scene Jean Pyatt Helen Miller COMPTON GETS AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING JOB Dave Compton, senior Commerce and Finance student, received the Hamilton electric wristwatch in recognition for his outstanding work in enabling the Wilkes Chapter of the Society for the Advancement of Management to gain honors in the recent membership drive. Compton, a resident of Short Hills, New Jersey, was awarded the prize by popular vote of the Soci ety's members in a meeting last week. The !?Cal chapter's drive for membership enrolled over 100 members, _enough to_ ra~k th_e ch~pter tenth m the nat10n s um~ers1ty chapters for total membership, and rated them the number one spot among the chapters in percentage gains with a whopping 64 per cent.

This dance will have the added attraction of two well~known disc jockeys, Bart Maldon and Harry Newman of W•BAX. These boys were reported to be "far out" by the TDR members who went to inquire about their services. This dance will be slightly different from any other dance held on campus this year. The sorority held the installation of newly elected officers last Tuesday night at McClintock Hall.

Schmidt on the birth of-a daughter, Nina, last Thurs- APPEARS NEXT WEEK CONGRATULATIONS ... day night at Mercy Hospital, Wilkes-Barre. Nina weighed in 6 pounds, 6 ounces. Eddie is the fellow who sets the Beacon type every week - and is the only person to read every word the Beacpn every week. The Beacon staff takes pleasure in dedicating this issue Nina Schmidt. A somewhat altered and extenat in sively enlarged Manuscript will apof pear on the Wilkes campus next to EDITORIAL Observations of An Editor With the announcement of the Beacon Athlete of the Year and the big story of Cinderella dominating the front page, we suddenly realize that there is only one more week of classes left for the '58-'59 school year; consequently there is only one more Beacon after this one. The last issue of the year usually has an editorial devoted to the thank you's and congratulations befitting the occasion of off with the old, and on with the new Editor, so with this our last chance we want to let you in on some of the feelings and experiences we have garnered through editing twenty-nine issues of the Beacon - more than any other Beacon editor can take credit - or blame - for. Unlmown to most students, we were plunked down into the Editor's chair back on May 2, 1958 when we took over unofficially in the absence of the Editor-in-Chief. Since then we have learned a lot, some of the impressions we got were good but the majority of them were, unfortunately, bad. One of the things that interested us was the fact that Wilkes students do not have the strength to stand behind their convictions or to support their ideas. We do not make this statement as an authority on the subject, we make it only through our own personal observations of the actions of students in connection with not only the Beacon, but also with other campus activities. Our editorial policy this year has been decidedly liberal, or even a trifle on the leftist side, if you wish, but we had a purpose in mind when we started to "tee off" on a few things. We perhaps over-emphasized things that possibly could have gone by, but we did so because we wanted to make people think. We wanted to get students so annoyed that they would sit down and talk, yell or scream until they reached the point where they would realize that some things were not as they should be on campus. Letters, ·We Don't Get Letters We made it a point to be around the Commons when the Beacon came out every Friday so that we could see the results of our work. Either one of two things happened; the people we criticized ran for cover or they came at us like madmen threatening all sorts of letters to the Editor. How many of those letters answering our editorials did we get? TWO. What happened to the rest? We are inclined to think that the people who were so indignant, and they probably had a gripe because we overemphasized many things, were afraid to defend themselves, they were afraid to refute us, afraid to express their side publicly, afraid to stand behind their convictions. Through the twenty-seven issues this year, we have received ten Letters to the Editor all together (this figure excludes open letters to the student body not concerned with the Beacon or addressed to the Editor). As we mentioned above, only two of these letters criticized us for picking out the bad spots on campus and pounding them into dust. Other college newspapers are filled with letters answering editorials that are much softer than ours have been. We are of course not competing with other colleges in the Letters to the Editor department, but the fact remains that Wilkes students, as compared to other college students, will not stand up for what they think is right. It stands to reason that students do things because they think they are correct in their actions, but when we proceded to criticize those ·actions, the students responsible just crawl away to sulk instead of letting us know how they feel. Dr. Farley Wouldn't Like It? Just as Wilkes students refuse to defend themselves, they also give up without even trying. Again, this is just our opinion based on what we have seen during our tour of duty. Many times we have seen or heard about meetings or informal gatherings where someone comes up with a brilliant idea - something that would raise school spirit and dispel some of the gloom that sometimes hangs over the campus. The idea grows, with others catching the enthusiasm until the whole thing seems wonderful. Then some disspirited, dis-illusioned and work-fearing wet blanket casually remarks that "Dr. Farley wouldn't like it" and there goes another idea out the window without even a decent burial. We frankly think that Dr. Farley would be amazed at the things he "wouldn't like," the number is overwhelming. He is reported to dislike things he never even heard of and we don't think that this is his fault. We think that the kill-joys on campus are using him as an excuse possibly to avoid work, and possible because they are afraid to try something new. Many times we have been a member of a group that was sure that the administration would stop an idea, yet we have never seen or heard of a sensible idea that, when asked, the administration has stopped. · We don't advocate the plan that everyone having an idea go rushing up to Chase Hall with a chip on his shoulder and demand that he be given his way. We merely suggest, meekly perhaps, that next year students ask before they give up an idea. You may be surprised to find that the Administration is composed of rather broad-minded and sensible people who are see~g the best for Wilkes, just as the students should be. End of lecture. -mjk week. Once again, the literary and art magazine of the college has been constructed to contain diversified expressions of student creativity which should prove interesting to all. The sixty-eight page edition will be prefaced with an editorial and dedication of the magazine to Wilkes, upon completion of its successful twenty-fifth anniversary. Included in the contents is a section of art and music expression, in which will be found pa intings by Michael Crush, Jim Connell, and Jim Cornelius. An original musical setting for the words of Thomas Wolfe, "Something Has Spoken to Me in the Night," has been submitted by Audrey Bartlett, senior music student and prominent pianist and organist. A select ed group of short stories, several of which wer e submitted by students of Dr. Philip Rizzo, occupies a major portion of the magazine. Among the short sto ries are the following : "The Platonic Seedsower " by Ronald Kryzn ewski is, in the words of the author, "a philosophical fantasy which satiricall y compares Romanticism and Rationalis m." The conclusion of the story "is a reaffirmation of Keatsian Negative Capability." Clifford Brothers' "Paul Gauguin Wept" is concerned with the trag ic life of the prominent French painter and his last days on the isle of Tahiti. •Barbara Poris has contributed a novel short story, "The Card Game," which reveals its meaning through sharp dialogue around a card table. Helen Klatt's "Blind Date" is a teen-age story which clearly r eveals a great amount of insight into the character of two 'young at heart' at their first r endezvous. Other stories are: "A Success Story" by Jim Eidam, "The Departure" and "The Raward" by Albert Valenia, and "Soldier " by Jim Cornelius. A theological essay, "The Old Testament and Criticism" has been contributed by Gordon Roberts, and poetry of varied nature by Pat Hemenway, Cliff Brothers, Robert Stevens, and Harvey Stambler is the remaining material in the publication. It is significant to note that this year has been one of great expansion for the Manuscript, for the association is not only presenting a larger publication than those in the past, but it also organized a film society, expanded its editorial staff, and enlarged its exchange program with many colleges and universities.

Dick Wileman, junior Commerce and Finance major, was elect ed vice-president. Wileman is a native of Dallas, Pa., and is taking a ccelerated courses in an attempt to gain his degree in three years. He succeeds Wayne Wa lters in the position. Maury James of Kingston, a sophomore, was elected treasurer to replace Carroll Davenport, who held the position for three years. Harry Owens, a sophomore majoring in music education, was voted secretary. Owens will fill the post held fo r merly by J ohn Salva, who complet ed his degree work in F ebruary. A newly created post in the chorus, librarian-historian, went to freshman music education major Bob Eike, a graduate of Coug hlin High School. WHAT . . . WHERE . . . WHEN ...

When the exchange program is completed, according to Harvey Stambler, exchange editor, the Manuscript yearly publication will be sent to at least fifteen colleges and universities in several foreign countries plus a large number of American institutions of higher learning. During the past year, the Manuscript exchange progTam has been broadened to include some sixty prominent American colleges. For the first time in the history of the Association, the Manuscript will be sent to Manchester University and North West University in Great Britain, the University of Western Ontario, Canada, and Sydney University of Sydney, Australia. When the exchange program is complete, the Manuscript will be "circling the globe" with creativity of Wilkes students. EDUCATION MAJORS TO VISIT RETREAT by Steve Cooney As a group project for their hygiene class, senior elementary education majors will make a trip Thursday, May 21, to Retreat State Hospital for a tour of facilities. The visit will include a tour of the rehabilitation workshops and talks with individual p a ti e n t s undergoing therapy. This will give the future educators a glimpse of what is being done to help our mentally ill. The information they learn they can then pass on to their st u d e n ts when they become teachers. Prior to the tour, Miss Florence Bueno, Directr ess of Nurses at Retreat Hospital, will visit the h ygiene class and explain the procedures used at Retreat. George Sura, Harold Klein, Martha James, and George Black are in charge of arrangements for the trip.

The paper, entitled "All About Me", is a collection of original poems by Mr. Alfred Groh, and will be recited on Public Square, Wilkes-Barre. The Wilkes-Barre Fine Arts Fiesta was started two years ago, and is now considered to be an annual affair. Miss Annette Evans, Fine Arts Chairman, was well pleased with the performances of the Cue 'n' Curtain last year, and as a result, has asked the club to repeat their st erling portrayals. Awards Assembly T d H ues ay lo · onor Accomplishments by Jean Shofranko Students who have attained outstanding scholastic and service records will be honored at the annual Awards Assembly to be held Tuesday. The program will begin with an address by Dr. Eugene S. Farley. Presentation of the "Dean's Cups" will highlight the awards. Each year the senior man and woman who have achieved the highest scholastic averages for four years are awarded engraved cups by the deans. The Assembly Award is presented to the organization who has produced the best sudent assembly of the year. Members of the Student Assembly Committee will choose the winner. Sports awards, Cvmmerce and Finance award, Education club award, Cue 'n' Curtain awards, and Beacon awards are a few of the presentations to be made. May 12th Assembly John C. Metcalfe, White House correspondent, spoke on the Big Four foreign ministers' conference at last Tuesday's Assembly. Metcalfe considered a wide open conference as the best general approach for the United States, in regard to summit meetings. Both the United States and Russia would agree to let each party discuss what they wish. The only danger of the Berlin situation, according to Mr. Metcalfe, is that a trigger happy incident might occur which would be extremely dangerous, for if a conflict started, war would not be confined to one area. Mr. Metcalfe also commented on the high rate of migration from East to West Germany. He said that if ever an unfortunate conflict between East and West Germany occurred, East Germany would crnmble overnight. In conclusion Mr. Metcalfe said that we cannot let down our front line in Germany, for if we do, there wjll be a stampede of governments running to Moscow for cover . ."Our life is at stake," he said, "and appeasement is only the road to destruction."

Tuesday's game was the second of the three-game playoff and gave the Recruits the flag after they soundly whipped the Blivets last Friday by a lopsided 21-4 margin. Ken Selody was the big gun in the series for the Recruits, with a total of eight hits in nine trips to the plate, including three home runs and a doubl e in Friday's game, good for eight runs batted in. In Tuesday's contest he went four-for-fiv e. Fred W i 11 i ams blasted a three-run homer in Friday's game and had three-for-four in the title contest. Dan Lewis had a perfect day at the plate for the Recruits on Tuesday in the clincher with three hits in three at-bats, to lead the 17-hit barrage by the Recruits. Scoring fast, the champs rang up six fast runs in the first inning and added four more in the second to ice the win quickly. For added measure, they tallied two runs in the third and two more in the fifth. The Rceruits thus concluded a most successful season, in which they romped to six straight wins for an undefeated performance. The closets threat came from their National League rivals, the Snafus, who lost a close 5-4 decision in the third contest of the season. Clem Gavenus pitched each of the Recruits' games for a perfect 6-0 season's record.

A youthful Wilkes team will attempt to overpower the experienced squad of Juniata courtmen at 2 p.m. in Kirby Park. The Colonels are confident of a win because of valuable experience gained through six games played on foreign courts this year. Last Thursday the Colonels played the over-rated Susquehanna Crusaders, but lost, 6-3. Led by Dirk Dunlap and Paul Bleifer, the team showed their potential power but dropped the match, 6-3. In the singles Jim Swaback showed his best form of the season but dropped the set, 7-5, 6-4. Ira Himmel then lost a close set, 6-4, 10-8. Paul Bleifer turned the tables on the Crusaders when he defeated his man by the score of 6-4, 7-5. Dunlap followed with another win, 6-0, 4-6, 7-5. Bill Woll then lost a tight set, 4-6, 6-4, 9-7. Jack Thomas was outscored, 8-6, 6-4. In the doubl es, the combination of Dunlap and Bleifer proved decisive over their opponents, 6-2, 4-6, 9-7. The combinations of Himmel-Swaback and Thomas-Halperin were then edged in closely contested matches. On Tuesday the t eam was overpowered by the Ursinus Bears, 7-0. The doubles match of Himmel and Bleifer was rained out when the combination was winning, 4-3. The team got off to a poor start when Jim Swaback lost, 6-0, 6-0, to the Grizzlies' number one man.

Rider Nips Colonels Last Saturday Wilkes came close to upsetting a highly confident Rider outfit but finally succumbed to the Broncs, 6-5. Rider jumped off to a three-run lead in the second inning on a walk, two singles and a base-clearing triple by second baseman Bob Heist. Wilkes came back with two runs in the third when Don Goobic singled, and scored on John Harvey's groundout. Rider scored two more runs in the fourt h and the Colnels matched them in their half of the inning. Ralph Hendershot led off with a single and Bobby Ontko r eached base on an error, both men advanced on a throwing error and J erry Lawrence slashed a single to bring home both runners. In the sixth, Hendershot hit a 430-foot double, advanced to third on a n infield hit by Ontko, and scored on a hit by Sam Zgarski. Wilkes threatened in the seventh, loading the bases with two out, but a runner was out at home attempting to score on a wild pitch. Goobic, Hendershot, Ontko, and Lawrence had two hits apiece for the Colonels. Monday the team went down to defeat at the hands of a powerful Ithaca nine in an abbreviated cont est, 10-2. The game was called at the end of 4 ½ innings because of rain. The Bombers unloaded 13 hits to put the game out of the Colonels' reach. Jerry Lawrence once again came throug h with two base hits. He has accomplished this feat in the last fiv e games, as did Paul Aquilino. One of Aquilino's hits was a double to drive in a run. John Harvey and Sam Zgarski collect ed the only other Wilkes hits.

Mr. John Detroy acted as toastmaster and devoted his remarks to reminiscences of his association with Mr. Moran.

PYATT TO PRESENT C'n'C ELECTS OFFICERS TODAY; AWARDS DINNER NEXT WEEK Thanks, but Not Good-bye RECITAL ON SUNDAY Five and a half years ago Wilkes was honored by having Mrs. Gertrude Allen Doane come as Acting Dean of Women. Original plans called for Mrs. Doane to stay for only three months, to finish out the semester. Through the urging of Dr. Farley and the student body, she has remained with us for a much longer and gratifying stay. The Dean of Women's office at Wilkes has been different · from those in other colleges since Mrs. Doane came. In other institutions of higher learning, to be "called to the Dean's office" usually means only one thing, - trouble. Here at Wilkes, a call from Mrs. Doane or a visit on the spur of the moment usually mean a pleasant experience. Mrs. Doane has been nothing but courteous and helpful to all students who sought her aid whether it be a personal or academic problem. Many times she has been sought out to answer questions on any subject from where to buy cokes for a dance to the scholastic average necessary for graduation. Men and women students have always felt free to just drop in to see and chat with Mrs. Doane emphasizing her amiable disposition and willingness to serve others. Theta Delta Rho has also gained much by having Mrs. Doane as their advisor over the years. She has been the guiding force behind the growth and spirit of that organization, helping in many ways to solve the problems common to most organizations. The Inter-Dormitory Council has recently honored the retiring Dean by naming the Outstanding Female Dormitory Student award after her. Since Mrs. Doane has been an outstanding Dean, it is fitting to give an award named in her honor to the outstanding female resident. Her services have not been limited to the Wilkes campus. She has been a prominent figure in service organizations throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania, serving on many child welfare committees and charity projects. Her life has been dedicated to the betterment of young people. We hope that her retirement will be in word only, and that she will continue in her work with young people because we firmly believe that she has done much to make Wilkes a friendly campus. Her ability to remember the name of each and every student has never ceased to amaze us, and we have the feeling that she will never forget the students of Wilkes, just as those students will never forget her. We are sure that the students join us in thanking Mrs. Doane for a job more than well done and wishing her and Dr. Doane all the happiness that they deserve. -mjk WHAT . . . WHERE . . . WHEN ...

Your car can be· Thatcher Is Moderator Car really . . . r eally clean - I,F by Jean Shofranko A panel discussion to acquaint the student body and Valley residents with the issues involved in the forthcoming primary elections was held in the Commons Monday evening. Wilkes Chapter of the Inter - Collegiate Conference on Government and Politics sponsored the affair. Speakers were three Republican candidates for the office of District Attorney a n d one Democratic candidate. The moderator was Dr. Harold W. Thatcher, chairman of the history depa1tment. The speaker - candidates were Attorney Stephen A. Teller, candidate on the Regular Democratic ticket; Attorney Arthur Silverblatt, candidate on the Regular Republican ticket; Attorney Joseph P. Olexy, Loyal Republican Party candidate; and Att9rney Peter Kanjorski, Victory Republican Party candidate. Dr. Thatcher termed the session "a discussion of democracy at the grass roots level". Each candidate employment in Luzerne County and spoke for fifteen minutes. Attorney lamented the decline in hit the Republican administration in Was~ington_ for sendi_ng money to certam foreign countnes but defeating a distressed areas bill that would help this region. Attorney Silverblatt told of the social welfare program of the present county administration and what is being done for the benefit of the area's aged and infirm. He added that th e county commissioners, T. Newell Wood and J. Bowden Northrup, who are seeking another term in office, went into office with certain pledges and have kept them. Attorney Olexy said that there were two issues in this campaign. He enumerated them as "bossism" and simple morality in government. He commented that certain types of unsavory characters who exist in th e county as "hangers on" ought to be eliminated. He claimed the members of his ticket are "unbossed". Attorney Kanjorski, Victory Republican Party candidate, managed by Senator Harold E. Flac,k, said that it is th e wrong time to build a county home for the aged and infirm and struck out at the unwarranted expenditures of the present county commissioners. He asserted that this is the time the county is least able to finance a county home because of the drop in coal assessment. His slate, said Kanjorski, .p roposes no man connected with a coal company be a county assessor. you bring it to the Junior Class "Car Wash" to be held on Thursday, May 14, at Tom Mason's ESSO Station, Pierce and Tioga Streets, Kingston.

Among the awards given to him for outstanding achievem ent in Am eri can journalism are: National Headliners Silver Plaque, Chicago Advisory Board Americanism Gold Plaque, Chilean Legion of Merit Decoration, and Norway's St. Olav Medal. H e began his journalistic career in 1925 with the Associated Press in Chicago. H e subsequently reported for the San Antonio Light and the Chicago Times.

Federal funds will be available to colleges on a basis of $20 for every enrolled student. Any requests in excess of that proportion will need an extra form to justify the extra allotment. A committee of government officials and educators will review requests requiring justification to determine whether the extra funds should be awarded. This necessitates a careful approach of the student applications by the colleges before submitting their requests to the government. Final figures should be available by September. Last year $7,847 was awarded to Wilkes, to which the College added $1,0()p. These funds were distributed to 40 applicants. The administration has expressed an opinion that the 1959-60 allotment ma y be as much as three times last year's figure, but emphasizes the need for students to use reason and careful study in making their applications. Qualifications Students applying for loans under this National Defense Student Loan program must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, fulltime students in good standing, and giving evidence of need. Special consideration Will be given in extraordinary cases where a student has a superior academic background with a desire to teach in secondary or elementary schools. Also, special consideration will be given to those entering science, mathematics, engineering, or foreign language fields. Loans will be made up ~o $1,000 per fiscal year, and should be used only for college expenses. Exceptional cases will be given consideration when necessary for a student to rema in in college. Repayment Repayment may be made in monthly payments, but the principal and interest shall normally be repaid in ten equal annual installments. Interest does not begin until one year from the date a student ceases to be in full-time enrollment. Cancellation provisions allow a ten per cent reduction of principal plus interest for each academic year of service in public elementary or secondary schools. The maximum amount to be cancelled is fifty per cent. Interest on the loans will be three per cent.

For the past seven years the Sports staff of the Beacon has polled the coaches of the various intercollegiate teams, the Director of Athletics, Director of Sports Publicity, and Beacon Sports staff, to find the athlete most deserving of that select title. Last year's winner of the award was Ronni e Rescigno who is presently teaching and coaching in a high school on Long Island. The year. before saw an undefeated season for Jim Ward on the wrestling mats and he walked away with the year's honors. The athletes eligible for the award qualify by being picked "Athlete of the Week" sometime during the school year under consideration. No other qualifications are necessary. He does not have to be a Senior nor to have lettered in more than one sport during the year. This year the balloting should see several men in real contention for the title with possibly a single vote or two deciding the issue between the approximately 18 eligible men. TENNIS The t ennis team seems to have acquired the ailment that is peculiar to young teams. The swimming and golf teams both had difficulties drawing their first blood, until they gained full-time coaches in the forms of Russ Picton and Welton Farrar. The tennis team now seems to be in the throes of "being or not being." Besides the lack of a fulltime coach they don't have a regular home court on which to practice and gain the advantage of meeting teams from opposing schools on grounds with which they are entirely familiar. On the credit side they seem not to lack for enthusiasm and seem to be getting closer and closer to winning their first meet. Hopes are especially high that they may be able to take Lycoming the second time around this season. BEST WISHES Best wishes are in order for Wrestling Coach and new Director of Athletics at Wilkes, John Reese. (See story on page five.)

The champs finished the regular league schedule with an unblemished 4-0 record. The college championship will be decided by a threegame playoff between the Recruits and the Blivets, American League champs. The Recruits started off with a bang, scoring all four runs in the first inning. Paul Klein, leadoff man, drove the first pitch into centerfield for a single. The next man, Bernie Radecki, received a free pass. Ra y Yanchus then reached first on an error with Klein scoring. Carl Kemmerer followed with a single, driving in the second run. The two baserunners were advanced by Fred Williams as he flied out to center, and then scored as Ken Selody doubled down the rightfield line. PARK SHOP and EAT You can reproduce the experiment. It's easy as 7r. (Yes, you can do it in the bathtub.) Assuming that you have first visited your friendly tobacconist, simply light your first Winston and smoke it. Reasoning backwards, the discovery proceeds as follows : first, you will l}Otice a delightful flavor, in the class of fresh coffee or of bread baking. Obviously, such flavor cannot come from the filter. Therefore, it's what's up front that counts: Winston's Filter-Blend. The tobaccos are selected for flavor and mildness, then specially processed for filter smoking. This extra step is the real difference between Winston and all other filter cigarettes.

Mike Dydo pitched for the Colonels and was charged with his second loss of the season. Harvey's hit came with two down in the seventh inning and was a clean blow. Saturday's Results Saturday the Susquehanna Crusaders edged Wilkes, 4-3, in 10 innings, the winning run coming on a single by Ted Okimura as he was being intentionally walked. Okimura lunged across the plate at a wide pitch and plunked the ball into right field for a gameclinching blow. Freshman Pat Monaghan, former Meyers chucker, opened on the hill for Wilkes and worked seven innings limiting the Crusaders to three runs on three hits. He was relieved by Mike Dydo, who was working after pitching 9 innings the previous day, and brought his record to 3-3 for the season. Wilkes took an early lead with a run in the third inning. Shortstop J erry Lawrence singled, stole second and scored on an error. The Colonels increased their lead in the fifth when Dick Harvey singled, Ralph Hendershot walked and both scored on an error by the Susquehanna third baseman. Susquehanna came back in their half of the fifth as they collected their first base hits of the contest and tied the game with a run in the seventh, setting the stage for Okimura's unorthodox hit. Jerry Lawrence, Ralph Hendershot, and Paul Aquilino each hit safely twice for the Colonels while Dick Harvey garnered the other Wilkes hit. ~~$~~/;~==~~~~$ SPECIAL TUX GROUP PRICES for WIUES DANCES KEYSTONE COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 141 Wood Street roHN i B.

Award Competition for percentage increase." This statement was received in a recent letter from Professor Harold Fischer, the Director of the University Chapter Division of the Society for Advancement of Management. The Hamilton Watch Award Competition is a method by which the University Chapter Division of S.A.M. stimulates the growth of the University Chapters. At the end of the school year each of the six chapters who qualify (two in total membership increase, two in absolute membership increase, and two in percentage increase) is presented with a citation and a Hamilton electric watch. The watch is then presented to the member who had contributed most to the membership increase of the chapter. Pictures of the presentations are published in Advanced Management magazine, which has international circulation among colleges and universities and business and management personnel. Since its reorganization in January the Wilkes Chapter of S.A.M. has been working under the assumption that a dynamic chapter with a broad program of activities and expansion of services to its membe1•s will experience a significant growth in membership. As a result of its numerous and varied activities the chapter has experienced a phenomenal growth. At present the membership t o t a 1 stands at 110, a 647 % increase over last year, thus making the Wilkes Chapter the 10th largest of the 151 chapters in the nation. The Wilkes S.A.M. Chapter has also won the distinction of having been elected into the "100 Club", a select group including only those chapters which have exceeded the 100 mark in membership enrollment. Some of the activities which the chapter has sponsored are: forums on employee motivation, discussions on management training on both college and plant levels, a lecture on what management seeks in college graduates, an enlightening view of medical compensation insurance, and field trips to local industries. In addition to the activities spon~ sored directly by the Wilkes Chapter, the members have taken the opportunity offered by the Northeastern Pennsylvania Senior Chapter to attend many of their meetings. The Senior Chapter has presented excellent speakers and lively discussions on current management problems. The highlight of the year was a visit of Dr. Lillian Gilbreth, the foremost expert on time and motion study. The Wilkes College Chapter will continue to present activities which will aid in supplementing the text book and in developing the philosophy of management in the student, "Industrial Progress Through Enlightened Management." The progress of the Wilkes Chapter of S.A.M. is in keeping with the spirit and highest traditions of Wilkes College! �wnn:s COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIAL Letter to the Editor ...

In the first place, we don't agree with you in your accusations, and we further see no point in "blasting" the officers. The election officers are perfectly aware that one machine was not enough and we have been told, by the president of the election committee, that having one machine was the idea of the officials in the Court House - not the election officers. The people who bothered to go to the trouble of getting a machine here should be congratulated for their thoughtfulness. As for those who couldn't vote, we would like to point out that when we went into Chase Theater at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon there was no one using the machine. If you had to work, or had a ride home or had nine hours of class on Thursday, then perhaps you have a gripe. We have the feeling however, that anyone who really wanted to vote, could have done so.

First aid instruction is offered at many of the leading colleges and universities throughout the country, and it has proven to be a worthwhile undertaking. No one ever knows when such training may save a life. I have submitted this letter in the hope that the idea will come to the attention of the administration, and that they will look into the matter.

As a part of that calendar, they awarded to the Freshman Class two activities dates, October 31, 1958 and April 17, 1959. Unknown to the Student Government, or the Administration, the CCUN, at some subsequent time, scheduled the MGA for April 17-18-19. By the time the conflict was discovered it was too late to reschedule the MGA and the Freshman Class · had to make arrangements for another activities date. On April 1, the CCUN submitted a formal letter of apology to the Student Government. The Student Government feels that this does not wholly resolve the issue. It still remains that the CCUN irresponsibly scheduled an activity on a date which had been previously reserved for the Freshman Class. This type of promiscuous scheduling by any organization can not be tolerated. Were it tolerated, it would mean that any organization could hold any event they desired on any date they desired.

Clem Gavenas pitched an excellent game for the Recruits in their 5 to 4 victory over the Snafus. The victory was the third in sue-· cession for Recruits and sets the scene for th e game next week between them and an oncoming Phonies team. A victory for the Phonies next Tuesday would throw the National League into a threeway tie between the Phonies, Snafu s, and Recruits. In Wednesday's game the Recruits showed evenly balanced hitting power as Selody, Yanchus, Kemmere1:, Havira, Kubicki, and Lewis all had one hit apiece. The fa.ltering Snafus were bolstered by a triple and a single from• Gil Gregory and hits by Norm Chanoski, Bill Michaels, Marv Antinnes, and "Perky" Perkowski. The Blivets are still top dogs in the American League and should succeed in their pennant drive as their one remaining game is with a comparatively weak Financeer team.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK HENDERSHOT'S HITS AID WILKES VICTORIES; BOOMING BAT EXPLODES EXTRA BASE BLOWS Ralph Hendershot, one of the best long-ball hitters to wear the Blue and Gold spikes in some years, earned the Beacon's "Athlete of the Week" title for his performances in the Colonels' two recent diamond victories. With his explosi ve bat, he provided the winning blow in the 5-4 squeaker over the Lycoming Warriors last week; then, before the Saturday home crowd, led the parade of extra base hits in the Susquehanna tilt. quehanna nine, he even answered an SOS by Coach Pinkowski to relive another converted outfielder, Mike Dydo, on the mound. Although he was treated not too kindly by the Crusaders, he did a creditable job in the unfamiliar role, and showed promise of easing Pinkowski's pitching headaches. In the Lycoming game, he singled sharply to move John Harvey home with the winning run to climax a two-run rally for the 5-4 win. A two-letter man, Ralph also puts in a busy season in indoor competition on Eddie Davis' basketball team. He has been a member of the team for three years and the fans still bring his name up when speaking of long shots, remembering his 60-foot thriller in the 1958 season. Prior to Saturday, however, the big outfielder had to settle mostly for singles. In the game against the Crusaders he found the range and his bat began to boom again to the tune of a soaring, 375-foot round-trip blast and a fen ce-rattling double to account for three RIBI's.

The Men's Council at Hampton was sponsoring Men's Weekend and had many activities planned. Hampton exchanges with five schools besides Wilkes, and each school sent representatives, making it an eventful and rewarding weekend for all who went. This weekend the Hampton students are coming to Wilkes. The entire student body is invited to attend any or all of the activities planned.

EDITORIAL Redevelopment Petition Circulating Students of this college are taking an active part in the eventual redevelopment of the Wyoming Valley area through the means of a petition to President Eisenhower to use his in-fluence to help passage of Senate Bill 722, the Area Redevelopment Bill. The petition cites a continued reduction of employment in the anthracite industry as a disruptive influence in the lives of area families, with women going to work while men are forced to remain idle because of the lack of jobs open to them. It is fitting and proper that students, many of whom are planning or hoping to remain in this Valley as permanent residents, should see fit to circulate such a petition. It is even more fitting that it receive the whole-hearted support of the remainder of the students, who are receiving an education through the foresightedness of those Valley citizens responsible for the existence of Wilkes College, an entirely public-dependent institution. We urge that you not wait for the petition to reach you, rather, search out Gordon Roberts or any of the members of the _S tudent Government and ask to be a part of this undertaking. -RJM WHAT •. • WHERE . •• WHEN ..• Engineering Club Square Dance - Gymnasium, Tonight, 9:00 Senior Class meeting - Pickering 203, Tuesday, 11 :00 Junior Class meeting - Sta1•k 109, Tuesday, 11 :00 Sophomore Class meetin·g - Stark 116, Tuesday, 11 :00 Freshman Class meeting - Gymnasium, Tuesday, 11 :00 (Newly-elected officers will take office at these meetings.)

Swigert (Some!hing Unspoken) Below: Fred Malkemes and Jocelyn King (A Phoenix Too Frequent) ------------- ~ Three One-Act Plays I Well Received; C'n' C I Versatility Displayed Cue 'n' Curtain's presentation of three one-act plays last week again proved the versatility and imagination of the group. Not enough praise can be given to the cast, crew and directors of th e productions. "Something Unspok en," direct ed by Mr. Al Groh, was th e more serious play of the three. Starring Misses Mary Frances Swigert and Ginny Lyons, the play contained a message that unfortunately was missed by a large part of the audience who were looking for 'the lighter side. The slightly unreceptive mood of the audience did not in any way distract the two a ctresses. Miss Lyons did a splendid job in the role of Grace, despite the fact · that she stepped into the part only a week before the curtain went up. Miss Swigert's aristocratic stature and slightly shaking southern accented voice established her as a versatile and dependable actress. Miss Jocelyn King brought down the house with a tremendous dis-1 play of acting talent "A Phoenix Too Frequent." Her inperfect facial •_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ __ _ __;. i expressions added just the right touch to what could have been a slightly morbid play. Fred Malkemes added to his laurels with a thoroughly convincing portrayal of Tegeus in "Phoenix." Malkemes has the ability to relax in any part or costume and was at his best last week. Miss . Sally Price, as Doto in "Phoenix," was the surprise of the Cue 'n' Curtain season. Miss Price, although a little too aware of the audience, carried the part well. "Fumed Oak," starring Miss Audrey Bartlett and Robe1t Stevens, started with all the effects of an out of control whirlwind but unfortunately began to drag toward the end.' The first scene was so typical it was hysterical; however, the second scene lagged woefully behind the terrific punch of the first and gasped to a rather uninteresting finish. Miss Bartlett snapped and yapped through her part with the polish of a professional while Stevens, attired in baggy suit, was perfectly cast for the part of Henry Gow. Stevens was delightfully smug, pompous, arrogant and diffident throughout the play. Miss Judi Coplan sniffed and slumJ_Jed to perfection while Mrs. Chester Colson, although slightly forced at times, added the needed feeling of maturity to the part of the typical mother-in-law. The plays were perhaps a trifle r "aso ns t;nder! ying _, the student's. too long for one program, but they interest in mass communications; none-the-less were enthusiastically , a transcript of the student's acaaccepted b:1 the capa~ity audien~es ; demic record to date ; and a brief that viewed them . -mjk staten:ent fro m a t eacher or other academic ad visor evaiuating the student's ability to think and work independentl y.

Memorial EDITORIALS - Welcome Delegates The Beacon staff extends a cordial welcome to all the delegates who have come to Wilkes for the Model General Assembly this weekend. This will be an active weekend for all the participants and we sincerely hope that your stay here will not only be enjoyable but also profitable to you. All the sessions of the M.G.A. will be open to the public. This should be an ideal opportunity for all interested persons not directly connected with the sessions to get an insight on the workings of the parent organization, the UN. The major speaker at tonight's opening session, Mr. Willard Johnson, will deliver his address at 7:30. Mr. Johnson has an interesting and varied background and is well suited to speak to the assembly on matters pertaining to international affairs. We hope that the student body will not pass up this opportunity to attend the sessions and learn a little about the processes that coordinate world relations. Neither Rain, nor Sleet ... Spring may not have been here as reported and forecast, but that small detail did not in any way lessen the success of the first annual Spring Weekend. The tremendous reception given the series of events was a welcome surprise to the planners of the affair. The April Showers dance had perfect weather, it rained all evening. Saturday's outing at Wolfe's Grove was more of an inning, but nobody seemed to mind the lack of baseball playing and other such strenuous activities. Catlin and Sterling Halls had well attended dances Saturday evening. The decorations in both dormitories were well thought out and effectively arranged. All the dorms outdid themselves cleaning and polishing for open house Sunday afternoon. The whole weekend ran smoothly despite the adverse weather conditions. We think that this fact is high praise to the planners and coordinators. Mullie Spinelli and Skip Gladstone of the School Spirit Committee and Allyn Jones of the I.D.C. deserve a carload of credit for a job well done. The Beacon extends its congratulations to all who helped make the first annual Spring Weekend a rousing success. -mjk WHAT . . . WHERE . . . WHEN ...

AU opinions expressed by columnists and special writers including letters to the editor are not necessarily those of this pultlication but those of the individuals. Dear Madam Editor, It is a well-known fact that the freshman class is a new organization on campus. Since when, however, does this fact give other organizations the right to take that which rightfully belongs to the freshmen? Recently, the m embers of our class were informed of the loss of our calendar date for ou1· dance. Because plans had already been made by another club on campus, ·we r elinquished our date without hesitation. We were promised (in return for our generosity) another date. After accepting the only other available date and making plans accordingly, we were subjected to another change in plans. This too we will have to accept, but in the future we would be glad to see all classes and clubs dealt with equally. An irate freshman (Ed. note: name withheld) Fund Status Revealed, Called Foresighted Plan for Giving Special to t he BEACON, from Alumni Office Since time immemorial, graduating classes from colleges and universities have given class gifts to their Alma Maters as a means of perpetuating the memory of their classes. Many have been wonderful additions to their campuses, but many have not. Lack of planning has too often meant a gift of no consequence or of little value to the school. One of the primary causes of this misfortune has been lack of funds. To correct this, oftimes this meant that each member of the class was assessed when he could least afford it - in the senior year. By class direction, the Class Memorial Fund grows from an assessment of $1.00 per semester for each student. Each Freshman class decides by voting whether or not they would like to adopt this plan. A majority vote decides if the vote is favorable - th en the plan is put into effect. Upon the request of the classes adopting the plan, in 1956 Dr. Farley directed the comptroller to add $1.00 to each student's tuition and to establish r ecords which would enable the classes to have the funds collected and recorded for them without any bookkeeping problem on their part. As a result, the class treasurer receives a report each year from the comptroller m entioning the total of the class fund as of that year. The plan has proved to be highly successful with only a minimum of financial strain on the individual student. The last three graduating classes have been able to give gifts of great value to the College without any financial difficulty. The second phase of this plan involves class contributions after graduation - as alumni. An independent college such as Wilkes must look to its friends and alumni for financial support, for it receives no aid from other sources. It is a simple truth that no student by benefit of paying his tuition fully pays the full cost of his education. Tuition alone does not balance the Madam. Editor, On March 18 the sophomore class of Wilkes Coll ege sponsored a Donkey Basketball game for the benefit of the General Hospital's Building Fund. In spite of the fact that on the same night a "dream basketball game" and the opening of the Shrine Circus competed with our game, I am happy to inform you that the project was a great success, with the Faculty defeating the Athletes, 18-14, before approximately 1,300 people. After taxes and other expenses the class last week was able to turn over to Dr. Samuel Buckman, chairman of the Building Fund Drive, a check for $337.62. This amount is one of the largest ever given to a charity by any single - student organization at Wilkes. We realize that this project could not have been the success that it was without the co-operation of the following : Public Relations Office, the Beacon, the gym crew, the General Hospital staff, and the athletes Class of 1956 and faculty members who participated in the game. To those listed, the class of '61 say an humble (as alumni) "thank you." Because of the success of the (as alumni) project and the show of co-operation by the people at Wilkes, our Class of 1957 class has decided to adopt the Donkey ,B asketball game as an annual affair. (as alumni) Respectfully, Gil Davis, president Class of 1958 Class of '61 To All Students: On May 4, 1959, the Wilkes College Intercollegiate Government Organization will hold a political meeting concerning the local elections. This meeting will bring together both parties, Democrats and Republicans, plus all the factions of the Republican party. As you probably realize, the Republican party has split into three factions this year. They include the Real Republicans which is the Stroh faction, the Victory Republicans which will be Flack's group, and the Regular Republicans which consists of the Clark faction. At this meeting, each group will present its platform and will then be open for questions. To this date, we have received information along the line that Attorney Silverblatt will be here to represent the Real Republicans, Mr. Olexy will be representing the Regular Republicans ; the Victory Republicans claim they might be bringing their whole ticket to this important pre-election meeting. The Democrats will probably be represented by Dr. Dorris. From the looks of things at the present, this meeting should prove to be interesting and enlightening. The public and the entire student body is invited to attend. The meeting will take place in the Commons and will begin at 8:00 p.m. Refreshments will be served. Plan to be there and bring an interested friend. I'm sure it will prove worthwhile. Frank Steck I budget. This additional financial support must come from other sources, and more and more colleges and universities are turning to th eir alumni for this support with wonderful results. Upon graduation, the class memorial fund really becomes a ctivated, for the second most important feature is that it is in effect a "joint savings plan" whereby all funds raised through your class annually are placed in your Class Memorial Fund until the class trustees, elected at graduation, have decided through polling of the class the purpose for which they would like the funds used. You can see that this is a longrange plan. The Class Memorial Fund Plan can become the means by which Wilkes can grow in futur e years. It is conceivable that any given class in years ahead can acquire enough money through annual contributions of its class m embers to do something substantiali.e., construct a portion of a building, endow a faculty chair, give scholarship aid, contribute toward faculty salaries, or any other purpose that will help to develop Wilkes College. The benefits received from the fund in its short history are illustrated below. Even in the plan's infancy, the College has benefited from the generous foresight of the last three classes. We hope that it is the beginning of a tradition.

The high-Flying Dutchmen have been consistently in the first three ranks of the Middle Atlantic playoffs for the past five years, and they are rated as one of the top small college golf teams in the country this year.

This has been done in the form of a sales tax on purchases which includes within its limits a three per cent levy on college textbooks and supplies sold in affiliated ,University bookstores. While same state government has constantly sought means by which it might help to alleviate the acute situation of rising costs of college, it seems to have overlooked an obvious aid to the student. By allowing that section of the sales tax which includes the tax on college textbooks and supplies to remain on its books, the Pennsylvania Legislature has helped to aggravate a condition which it claims it is endeavoring to alleviate. Declaration: We, the undersigned members of the Student Council of Temple University, condemn that section of the Elizabeth Cobourn sales tax statute which includes row night from 8 to 12.

Cinderella Date Set IMURRAY MGA HERE NEXT WEEK, IS CANDIDATE by Richard J. Myers Donald Murray, head of the United States de I e g at ion (the Wilkes chapter of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations), will be a candidate for the presidency of the Model General Assembly to be held here next Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Murray will be opposed by John Schloss of the French and New Zealand delegation (Adelphi College). Murray was head of the Ghana delegation last year, is a member of the Wilkes Debating club, parliamentarian of the Wilkes Chapter of C.C.U.N., and a member of the Wilkes International Relations Club. Schloss is the treasurer of the Adelphi C.C.U.N, chapter, president of the Adelphi chapter of the International Discussion group, and was a delegate to last year's General Assembly. Delegates from 47 colleges and universities will descend, over 400 Don Murray strong, on the campus for the weekend sessions of problems facing the group's parent organization, the United Nations. Designed to give college students a greater awareness of the responsibilities which nations face in a world of ever-increasing tensions, the Model Assembly resembles in nearly every way the workings of its world-wide namesake. Delegates from the Middle Atlantic States will represent the various member nations of the UN, and in the sessions will attempt to discuss and propose solutions of problems which their adopted nations face in real life. None of the delegates treats the Model Assembly lightly. In fact, the students study, for months in advance of the mass meeting, problems and issues of the nations they represent. They study the methods that nation uses in dealing with other nations in actual meetings of the United Nations, then will act accordingly in the Model sessions. Wilkes Has Big Job Wilkes, representing the United States as recognition for the outstanding job done in holding last United States Military Academy (Italy), Waynesburg (Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil), Wilkes (United States), and Wilson (Guinea).

There will be no admission charge for the performances at Chase Theatre. Drama club members will enact modern adult drama as created by three of our foremost contemporary playwrights: Tennessee Williams, Christopher Fry, and Noel Coward. "Something Unspoken," by Tennessee Williams, is a moving drama of southern life in the contemporary scene. It is a story of two women who live in the same household, but fear that there is something unspoken between them.

Better Late Than Never With the spirit of the aged and the enthusiasm of a thoroughly saturated blanket, the CCUN plods along with eyes partially open to what could be brilliant disaster. Exactly one week from today the curtain will be flung open on the second and probably last Model General Assembly to be held here. Last year at this time the major speaker of the session was contracted, had written and forwarded the written draft of his speech to the Public Relations Office and everything was set. This year - nothing. At press time (Tuesday evening) no speaker had consented to appear here, no publicity on any type of speech had been released, Public Relations officers were planning a mass jump from the Market Street bridge and the phone wires were jammed with frantic calls to Washington, D.C., home of some of the country's best speakers. Four hundred delegates from forty-seven colleges will probably witness one of the most fantastic flops in history if something isn't done - and done NOW. No one member or officer of CCUN can get the full blame for the disorganization of the affair. The fact is that there are few individuals in CCUN that have been in one position long enough to take any criticism. CCUN over the past month and a half has had all the moves of a grotesque checker game. Appointments, resignations, promotions, demotions and what have you have ruined any semblance of order in the group. Since the happy announcement that we were again to be honored to have the MGA here, there have been at least three publicity directors, all going mad because they had nothing to publicize. No one in his right mind would venture to criticize the publicity directors (all three of them). There was little to be said and less to be written. Few organizations are given the opportunity to gain such priceless publicity, and not many of that few have passed ii up as CCUN has done. The disorganization of CCUN is inexcusable. The result of this mayhem could be tragic for Wilkes, it certainly has already left its mark. not only on the college, but also on the Public Relations Office and the Beacon. The early stories printed in the town papers and the Beacon made the community and the student body aware of the fact that something big was coming up. THE MAILBAG 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 To Students of Wilkes: As captain of next year's cheering squad, I would like to extend an invitation to anyone who is interested in trying out for cheerlead~r for next year. Practice sessions will begin on Thursday, April 16, at 11 a.m. in the gymnasium. The cheering squad will need seven new members as we have only four returning from the past season's squad. Everyone is welcome to attend these practice sessions followed by the final tryouts in May. Just as the purpose of a captain of a footb a ll t eam is to organize and to co-ordinate the team in order ·for it to operate effectively, the pur pose of a cheerleader is to organize and co-ordinate the spirit and support that the spectators of an athletic event wi sh to express for their t eam. v;~hen people go to a game, they a ttempt to support their favorit e t eam by shouting words of encotfragement. These words are lost in a jumble of shouts unless the shouts of all the spedators are org ani zed.

Robert Washburn reported that ,t he constitution of the Inter-Collegiate Council on Government was accepted by the faculty. A treasurer's report showed a balance of $588.01 in the government activity fund. In response to the question on why only the freshmen received xrays by the mobile unit, the government reported that a state law allows x-rays to be taken every four years, and therefore the incoming freshmen are chosen .

Again in the th ird inning he smashed a liner into the outfield to drive in Bobby Ontko. In the sixth inning he again rapp ed out a single, but no runs crossed the plate. John is just recov ering from a broken ankle and until just previous to Monday's game it was doubtful whether he would see any intercollegiate competition this year.

Winding up a successful season, the Wilkes team composed of Cliff Brothers and Gwen Evans on the affirmative, and Roberta Feinstein and Fred Roberts on the negative, tied for fifth place with the girls from Misericordia. Dr. Kruger's orators made a creditable showing by posting a record of seven wins and three losses . It is interesting to note that they defeated Lehigh, Grove City, Westminst er, Gannon, Temple, Misericordia, and Marywood, while losing to Scranton, King's, and Dickinson. The Wilkes record at the end of four rounds was 7-1, second highest in the tourney, but two losses in the final seeding round eliminated the local contingent. This is the first time in four years that Wilkes fail ed to qualify for this round. Last year Wilkes placed third, in 1957 first, and in 1956 second. The winner of this year's tournament was the University of P ennsylvania. In seven tournaments this year Wilkes debaters had an aggregate r ecord of 37 wins and 23 losses, for a winning percentage of .602. Yest erday the debate squad presented a modified debate for the Dallas Rotary Club. Accompanied by Dr. Arthur N. Kruger, debate coach, the squad acquainted the Rotarians with the mechanics and techniques of debating. Fred Roberts took the affirmative, Roberta Feinst ein the negative, and Cliff ·B rothers acted as moderator.

PRESIDENT we Digging into the depths of our mailbox last Tuesday, discovered a very neatly printed outline of what could have become a nice front page story. But, as we said, it was an outline. The bare facts that were presented told us that there will be a Jazz Concert for College Students on March 26 at 7:45 in the Jewish Community Center. Also included was a list of "Northeastern Pennsylvania's Finest" jazz groups. These facts do not constitute a news story. We need things like the name of the sponsor, the price of the ticket, the committee chairmen, the program, and so forth. Questions such as "is it a dance, concert or both?" go unanswered. , Getting unsolicited news is one of the nicest parts of our job, but when it has to go to waste, it is nothing but a shame. Perhaps it is our fault that this type of thing happens. We should have raised our objections to incomplete stories and unsigned contributions earlier. In the future, put your name on the copy that you give to us. If possible, include your phone number or a number where you can be reached to answer further questions. We would appreciate it, and you will get better results when we can contact you for the complete story. mjk WHAT . . . WHERE . . . WHEN ...

TWO DORMITORIES SPONSOR 'DANTE'S INFERNO' 'TOMORROW Dr. Eugene Hammer, head of the Education Department, was elected to the presidency of the Pennsylvania Association of Liberal Arts Colleges for the Advancement of Teaching at the Association's annual meeting held at Harrisburg last week. The women of Weiss Hall and the men of Barre Hall, campus dormitories, have combined forces to provide entertainment on campus tomorrow night. They are sponsoring a campus-wide dance to be held in Barre Hall. The purpose of this affair is to promote school spirit by opening a dormitory function to the entire campus. The School Spirit Committee has also endorsed this dance and has offered its services toward making it a Dr. Hammer was chairman of success. the Friday afternoon sessions at A Word to the Wise •.. Next week there will be no issue of the Beacon; therefore, all reporters, organizational publicity directors, and club officers are invited and urged to attend an informal newswriting seminar, conducted by the Beacon editorial staff, Tuesday evening. The meeting will be held in the offices of the Beacon. third floor, 159 S. Franklin Street, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Many important features of writing, editing, copy-reading and proofreading, advertising procedures, and layout practices will be explained. For staff reporters, the meeting is essential. Anyone not on the staff, but interested in "going places" with the Beacon would do well to make every effort to attend the seminar. The meeting will be of particular interest and value to club officers, because they will get a glimpse into the workings of a newspaper and gain an understanding of some of the problems confronting an editor. Through this knowledge, they will be able to get the most publicity for their organizations at the least expenditure of effort and at a minimum of confusion. It goes without saying that any member of the staff who wishes to apply in the future for an editorial position has a lot to gain by attending and a lot more to lose by being absent. A word to the wise... . RJM Friday, March 20, 1959 Dr. Eugene Hammer which problems of "The Preparation of College Teachers" were discussed. Nearly every Liberal Arts college in the State was represented at the meeting; 54 colleges and universities sent delegates. Educators taking part in the program under Dr. Hammer's session were: Dr. Ralph J. Rackley, Dean of the College of Education at Penn State; Dean William E. Arnold from University of Pennsylvania; Dean Paul A. Masonar, University of Pittsburgh; and Dr. D. Willard Zahn, Dean of Temple University. CHEMISTRY CONTEST ANNOUNCED BY U.S.C. The opening of the 1959 contest in colloid and surface chemistry among college undergraduates is announced by the University of Southern California. The contest is sponsored by the Continental Oil Company of Houston, Texas and Ponca City, Oklahoma, and is now in its third year. Students of chemistry, biochemistry and chemical engineering at all accredited universities of the United States and Canada are eligible if they are regular undergraduates on April 1, 1959. The contestants may enter either a report on a research project conducted by themselves or an essay on the subject, "The contribution of Irving Langmuir to colloid and surface chemistry." Langmuir, American Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, passed away less than two years ago. He was with the General Electric Co., Schenectady, New York. The best essay and the best report will receive each prizes of $500 and the second best each $200 under contest regulations. Honorable mention prizes of $50 each are also provided. The deadline for submitting entries is July 1st, 1959. Entry blanks may be obtained immediately by writing to Prof. K. J. Mysels, ·C hemistry Department, University of Southern California, Los Angeles 7, California. The prizes will be awarded by a panel of anonymous judges and will be distributed September 1st. As contest chairman, Dr. Mysels is being assisted by an advisory committee composed of Professors P.H. Emmett, Johns Hopkins University; V. K. La Mer, Columbia University; and Marjorie Vold of the University of Southern California. The Monarchs will provide the music. This well-known band was r ecently a huge success at the rock 'n' roll show held in the Wilkes gym on February 9, where they played for Fabian, a popular recording star. Members of the band have also recently played at Penn State University and Cornell University. Barre Hall will be decorated as a speak-easy named " Dante's Inferno." As the main theme of the dance is the Roaring '20's, the idea of a speak-easy promises to offer a touch of authenticity to the affair. The Monarchs will be playing Dixieland Jazz in coordination with the theme as well as their usual rock 'n' roll and slow dance music for a wide variety to suit almost every musical taste. The committee, composed of members of both Weiss and Barre Halls, are going all out to make this dance a school-spirited affair. Working with Gene Stickler, general chairman of the party, are the Gene Stickler f o 11 o w i n g committees: refresh. ments Vince Capo chairman Rick Meister, Dawn Dergsman, Gene ' ' ' Hoeker, Jocelyn King, Arlene Ta- :I St'1ckl er. nalski; publicity, Jake Zook, chair- I The dance is_ sl~ted to last fro_m. man, Elaine Wolf, Estelle Manos, 9 p.m. to 12 m1dmght.

Myers Spring is in the air, just around the comer, as a matter of fact, and no organization is more aware of the fact than the Lettermen.

March 20, · 1959 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Approval for laying the foundation of a Wilkes College track team was given by the Athletic Council this week. The Council gave their okay to students wishing to field a track team by permitting the hopefuls to exist as a club this semester. If enoug h interest is generated in maintaining a team, the Council will extend their efforts to put track on an intercollegiate basis next year. Club m embers will drill at Kirby Park and use the football clubhouse facilities adjoining the field. Drills will start as soon as weather permits and will continue for the duration of the semester. In order to compensate for the lack of equipment available, organi.zers of the track movement will attempt to schedule exhibition m eets with liocal high schools and colleges in the vicinity on an away basis. Ruth Borl/,m, Priscilla McCormack, and Rachel Altavilla, freshmen, were weekend guests at Staunton Military Academy, Staunton, Virginia, where they attended the Military Ball. Himmel Thomas Head T~nnis With four returning lettermen and many promising newcomers, the tennis team is entering its third year of intercollegiate competition. A better showing than in previou s years is predicted because of experienced lettermen: Ira Himmel, Jack Thomas, Paul Bleifer, Bill Woll, and newcomers Jim Swabuck and Dirk Dunlap. A college meet consists of six matches of singles beginning with the two best men on each team and continuing down until th e two number six men meet. The doubles competition operates with the same system but th ere are only three matches. Thi s syst em accounts for the meeting of players of near equal ability. To determine w ho the six competing individuals will be, eliminat ion matches are held among th e members of the tea m. Ira Himmel, last year's top man , will offer stiff competition for the number one position, but the other positions are less certain. The team has been practicing all week at the Central Y.M.C.A., and are anxiously awaiting the first break in th e weather so that outdoor sessions may begin. Practice .

DA VIS, Sports Editor The creation of a track t eam by student initiative and the r elatively new- inter est dev elop ed in golf and t ennis this year are evidence in themselves that the "Old" Blue and Gold's philosophy of giving no extra help to athl et es ma y be paying off in the long awaited bonus of more student participation in school activities. · Upon looking a little closer at the incr eased a ctivities in sports w e could probably find a fairl y close correlation with the g rowth of the school. The i:;robl err:s that the track and t enni s t eam s are encountering in coaching and obta ining adequate fa cilities are probabl y a preview of corning events. The fa ct that the school and inevitably the interests of the students are ex panding means that the power s that be are cramped trying to k eep apace with the desires of the student body. E xpansion has advantages and disad vantages. We will probably find a st a tisticall y large r and better informed administration, but a larger school al so means a loss of contact and more r ed tape between student and administration. Although student wants and desires will always be known a nd f elt in th e upp er levels, it will take · more time and student press ure to gain what is desired. MENTOR PROBLEMS Although Coach Pinkowski probably isn't too plea sed with the baseball turnout, we are of the opinion that things look dark est just before the dawn. Th e t eam doesn't seem overly powerful in the hurling department, but they should balance out in the fielding and slugging sections. W e believe that if Coach Pinkowski shows as much drive knowhow, and leader ship on the diamond as he did on the gridiron, 'he will ha ve a t eam at least a s successful as last year's winning baseball corn bi nation. Which brings the g eneral area of coaching under our closer scrutiny. The swimming team was plagued last year with coaching troubles and, until Russ Picton took over th e reins in the middle of this past season, they seemed doomed to a fate of oblivion. We believe that the upturn of interest in sporting activities shows that Wilkesm en are finally overcoming the lethargy that they were a ccused of having in the past. Coaches of future activities at Wilkes should begin to have less of a problem in gaining their quota of participants.

Myers Last Saturday, the championship Colon el wrestlers made an appearance on the 15-minute "Coach's Corner," a sports t elevision program on Scranton's channel 22. The program, conduct ed by Pete Carlesimo, coach of the Scranton Univer sity Royals, gave coach John Reese and his eight-man squad an opportunit y to show viewers a few fundam entals in amateur wrestling. Re ese's presentation was designed to illustrate the difference between the " vaudeville" antics of the profess iona l wrestler s a nd the fine points of the coll ege and high school sport. His talk was brief, concise, and illuminating, with the wrestler s going through the motions to give visual emphasis to his descriptions. N ext Sa turday, at 1:15 p.m., he will continue the series with a demonst ration by the t eam of scoring m ethods. Wrestling fans are advised to look in on channel 22 to get a graphic illustration of some of the fin er points they may not otherwise get to know. EMBASSY RESTAURANT JORDAN'S Est. 1871 MEN'S FURNISHINGS and HATS of QUALITY The Narrows Shopping Center Dan Lewis and his Goldbricks did what no other team has been able to do in the Wilkes Co-ed Bowling league all y ear, beat the Pinbusters, 4-0. They were the first t eam to succeed in winning a game from the league leader s in the first round of the sea son's play. Then, in the second round, they became the first t eam to take more than one point from the high-flying Pinbusters, when they won, 3-1. Now they have gone all the way , behind the sizzling 189, 215, 213-617 pace of t eam captain Lewis. Last Sunday night's a ction was a ll of th e shutout variety, as the Ra iders whitewashed the Bio Club a nd the Tenpins, currently in the cellar, rai sed up and slapped a 4-0 pasting on the second-place Play.boys, who fail ed to take advantage of the opportunity to go into a t ie: for first with the Pinbusters. The Raid ers, still firmly en-trenched in third place, moved to within three points of second and seven points from the leaders. The· idle Teetotal ers moved from fifth ·to fourth, ten games off the pace, trailed by the Goldbricks, who are eleven games away from first. For the second time this season, all t eam s bowling in the league have r ecords of .500 or b etter. This is caused by the "phantom" eighth team in the schedule. Each team g ets one night off in every seven weeks, gaining an automatic four points from the non-existent team. This method was employed to make scheduling an odd number of teams ea sier, and furth er to give weaker teams a chance to k eep in the running. Goldbricks 4, Pinbusters 0 Lewis' 617 series, coupled with Dave Sokira's 189-516, spelled doom for the Pinbust er s. The Goldb r icks won the first game by 87 pins, and wer e threatened only in the latter sta g es of the second game when they won by 29 pins. The third match was somewhat closer, 878855, but Lewis fini shed strong with strikes fro m the seventh fram e to ice the game a nd the point for total pins. Goldbricks: Lewis 617, Sok ira 516, J erry Chisarick 177-492, a nd Steve Klein 169-428.

The Student Handbook is now being planned by the Student Handbook Committee under the direction of the Student Government. This book, financed by P.R.O., will be distributed in the fall to all students and will be a handbook for all students, not only Freshmen. The handbook will contain three sections : the General Section, under the chairmanship of George Reynolds; the Dormitory Section, under Pat Yost; and the Freshman Section, under Rhea Politis and Marty Menegus, co-chairmen. The General Section will contain the following topics: an explanation of the student government, college activities, academic regulaJudy Richardson, junior comtions, campus facilities, Dr. Far- merce and finance major, will leave ley's message, a list of the a°dmini- Tuesday to spend the Easter recess Attempts of the studen t governstration and the faculty, a short in Atlantic City. ment to have the dining commons history of the school, and the student Constitution. Under the section on College Activities there will be a synopsis of the activities and the purpose of each club on campus. Each organization is urged to begin working on its roster for the handbook. The Dormitory Section, which is being compiled by the Inter-Donnitory Council, will contain a list of suggestions for dormitor y students: money requirements, clothing, appliances, room furni s hings, n earby available services, study helps, dining hall regulations, car r egulations, rules for male and femal e dormitory students, hazing for dormitory students, traditions, and the I.D.C. constitution. The Freshman Section will conG tain the following topics: hazing, Tribunal, Freshman regulations, class cheer, orientation, Freshman week. schedule, Freshman Advisory Committee, and a suggestion and evaluation page to be filled out and returned by each student. General chairman of the handbook is Paul Kl ein.

'CAF' NIGHT SERVICE SEEN IMPROBABLE remain open evenings for the convenience of evening school students have m et with little success, according to government president Robert Pitel. The management of the dining commons feels that evening openings would create financial problems, since an attendant would have to be on hand to clean up, wash dishes, etc. A large number of persons would have to use the cafeteria facilities in the evening to make this venture profitable. Since a cashier would not be employed for the evenings, an 'honor' system of paying for food or coffee would have to be put into effect. The student government would not be in a position to reimburse the cafeteria for financial loss, as has been suggested. Pitel report ed that additional meetings of campus leaders, student government, and administration may provide some s uitable solution to the cafeteria problem. ·***********************~ THE Record Shop in Wilkes-Barre JOE NARDONE'$ RECORD SHOP Just look at our ALBUM DISPLAY and you will be convinced. ************************ Navy Officer to Discuss Officer Training School A Nava l Officer will visit the campus on Wednesday, May 6th, to provide interested students with information concerning the many varied officer programs available in the Navy.

The general chairman is Robert Payne, who is being assisted by the following seniors and F.T.A.'s: Mike Dydo, refreshment chairman; Nancy Payne, decorations chairman; Robert Sesta-k, ticket chairman; Elisabeth Schwartz, publicity chairman. Dr. Samuel Rosenberg, Professor of Economics, was speaker at the laSt s~ssion of the Economics Club, and discussed pros and cons of the consolidation of the City of WilkesBarre with adjacent townships and boroughs. . _D_r.

Some advantages to consolidation, as stated by Dr. Rosenberg, are: increased population of WilkesBarre, from approximately 66,000 to 200,000; more national advertising for the local newspapers; a bigger attraction for industrial concerns; general economic improvement. Consolidation would also be a step toward solution of regional transportation, health, and air pollution problems. Dr. Rosenberg stated some of the disadvantages which might arise from consolidation. Questions to be considered are the following: What would happen to the police departments?

General chairman of the tea is Doris Gademan. At its regular monthly meeting on Tuesday evening at McClintock, tentative plans for the TOR-Letterm en's Fashion Show were aired. The date of the show is May 6. Highlighting the meeting was a demonstration of various floral arrangements by Mr. Anthony Broody of Broody's Floral Shop, Plymouth. Mr. ,B roody, assisted by Miss Sophie Kancher, showed some of the many "tricks of the trade" in making corsages, hospital bouquets, and artificial coloring of flowers. Finished floral arrangements were then passed among the sorority members in attendance. Bio Club Beard Dance Next Friday in Gym by Lee Baiera Brush up those beards, men! Next Friday the Biology Club will sponsor the Fourth Annual Beard Dance at the gym from 9 to 12. Admission price for the dance is 50 cents. The men of Wilkes have been growing their beards for a long time, and the dance should prove to be interesting and laughable. Congressman Daniel J . Flood has accepted an invitation to be one of the judges, unless he is called out of town on congressional business. Mr. Welton G. Farrar will be the other judge. The jud.g ing of the beards will take place during intermission, and prizes will be awarded to the lucky men.

As many of us expected, there were no resounding speeches made, no momentous decisions arrived at and the meeting will probably not go down in the annals as the anything spectacular. It was however, a success in less tangible ways. The mere fact that forty students found the time and the energy fo come to the meeting and air their views is a large measure of "spirit." Suggestions were made to alleviate some of the problems; some of the solutions were good, some poor and some downright bad, but at least everyone knew how everyone else stood at the end of the session. In a meeting of this sort it is usually the case that the mop-up is left to one organization. The Student Government was the catch-all for the unanswered questions and the problems to be taken up. 1111111111111111 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I IJ11 A report from Butler Hall on last Saturday's benefit dance, the proceeds from which will go to the Port Griffith Disaster Fund: Gross Profits: Dance receipts, 144 pd. $ 72.00 149.75 Raffle Refreshments 9.60 $231.35 Expenses: Printing of raffle and dance tikets Thank you cards and Envelopes Coke purchases $ 12.00 .60 4.40 4.40 He Went That-a-Way Perhaps one of the newest topics to come under discussion was the case of the disappearing chaperon. We were not aware of the fact that chaperons were hard to find, both before and during the dances here on campus. Quite a bit of talk came from the fact that a list of faculty members willing to chaperon a dance is not , available. We personally can not see why one should be. It should be a compliment to be .asked to chaperon an affair, but it seems to be a much-disliked chore. If any of the complaining students thought about it long enough they would probably see why. Who wants to go to a dance, sit in the ~ack of the gym and be generally ignored by all the students ·at the dance? Some students do, we admit, make an attempt to pass the time of night with the neglected faculty member, but the relationship is a strained and hurried one. The day may come when students attending a dance will realze that the faculty are guests and should be treated as such. Do you invite a person to your home, free of course, and then let him sit in the livingroom and ignore him? Why do it at a dance? A guest is a guest, no matter where he is; at your home or at a sport dance or formal in the gym. A list is not the solution; a little bit of friendliness could go a long way.

The student discount seats are being offered to students and teachers at $3.45. They are orchestra seats, normally costing $6.90. "J.B.," starring Christopher Plummer, Raymond Massey and James Daly, has won extraordinary praise from the New York and national Press. In the N.Y. Times :Brooks Atkinson referred to it as "one of the memorable· works of the century." At this writing it has just been nominated for five "Tonys" by The American Theatre Wing. In fact, "J.B." has received international critical claim. Archibald MacLeish is a two time Pulitzer Prize winner, a former Librarian of Congress, and one of America's foremost men of letters. Elia Kazan has achieved stellar status for his direction of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "Tea and Sympathy," and "Skin of Our Teeth." "J.B." is being presented by Alfred de Liagre, Jr., noted for his production of "Voice of the Turtle," "Madwoman of Chaillot," and "Janus." Special Student Discount Plan blanks, for use either by mail or at the ANTA Theatre box office, have been sent to the Chairman of the English Department and the Director of Public Relations. Additional supplies of these student discount forms may be had by writing Alfred de Liagre, Jr., 55 West 42 nd Street, New York 36, New York. Self-Evalualion program Now 0n by Connie Stukowski Early last fall Wilkes began an extensive self-evaluation program which will continue until January of 1960. This program is part of the preparation for the re-accreditation of the college by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Learning. The evaluation itself is an analysis of the college's total educational effectiveness made by its own staff, its students, and alumni, the people best qualified to do it and to whom it means the most. The basic purpose is to give these interested people a clearer concept of what they want the college to be, and thus to stimulate a new surge of common effort to develop and improve the entire institution. At the present time the major portion of the work is being handled by the faculty with Mr. George Elliot serving as the general chairman. There is als.o a co-ordinating committee consisting of Mr. Elliot, Mr. Robert Riley, Dr. Eugene Hammer, and Dr. Francis Miehelini. Each member of the faculty is participating in the various phases of the self-evaluation. They are concerned with four major groups: the admission policy; student personnel and counseling; interviewing s t u d en t s an d a Iumm• t o get reactions, such as success in one's life work; and an appraisal of the faculty and school fa cilities. The faculty holds meetings at which time they discuss their findings and make recommendations. Substantial progress has been made on several of the phases. Mr. Elliot reports that considerable information has been assembled concerning the objectives of the college, the admissions policy, the organization and administration of the college, It's easy to tell friends from ene- the curriculum, the college catamies. Your friends will tell you logue and the faculty. In the futo shut up. ture the committee hopes to gain information on finances, school facilities, the library, student personnel services, extra-curricular activities, and special programs, such as teacher training. The final phase of the self-evaluation will concern the students and alumni. In all probability students and alumni will be given interviews and polls. In using these methods the evaluating committee hopes to determine how well the college has Luzerne been able to accomplish what it set out to do.

The whole is equal to the sun, of its parts ( But some of its parts are more equal than others!) This was just one of the outstanding performances 'The Gooch' turned in this season. Many of his great games saw him playing the role of the playmaker while ranking second or third in the scoring column, although hampered by an injured ankle this year. George "ripped the nets" with a season's average of 15 points per game. This is George's third season as a starter, and the junior co-<:aptain has amassed 881 points in a Blue and Gold uniform in that time. Last season his playing ability was honored when he was named to th e Middle Atlantic Conference's AllStar second team. George is also active on the baseball field and has earned diamond letters the past two seasons. Sports seem to be George's middle name, as he has been active on the sports scene since his high school days at St. Mary's. It was here that he started his 'patented' jump shot from the wrong foot and starred in basketball and baseball. After graduation he entered the U.S. Navy where he really matured into the polished athlete of today. Evidently Gacha isn't superstitious - when playing third base with Sand Point he helped the team capture the title of the Naval District. Of the 13th Naval District, that is. But in service basketball George gave a clear indication of the sport in which he is chiefly known to Wilkes fans. As usual, it wouldn't have bee n a Gacha performance w ithout the capture of a few titles, and in the net sport George topped his r ecords in both baseball and football put together.

Coach Farrar has instituted a system of' eliminations for the squad that should allow him to field one of the best potential varsity t eams that the Mid-Atlantic Conf erence will see this year. The system rates the t eam m ember s on past performances from number one down to the lowest member on the t eam, then the individual squad m embers are allowed to challenge the person that is no more than two jumps on the scale ahead of him. The winner, of course, taking over the higher t eam position. The six man t eam that represents the Blue and Gold in actual play will be scored according to the Nassau system. There will be six individual matches with each match worth three team points. There is one point given for the winner of the first nine holes, another given for the second nine holes and the third point for the lowest total score. A tie for any of the points will give each player one half of a team point. In event the two teams end in a deadlock, the top two m en from both t eams will decide the outcome in a sudden death round. Wilkes golfers are well aware of this system of scoring, as they lost the last match of last season in a sudden death play-off to Mansfield State Teachers, 10-9. The first meet of this season will be against Hofstra, who took second place in last year's Mid-Atlantic Tourney. The squad will begin driving practice early next week in the Wilkes gym. The Jewish Community Center was good enough to lend the team a huge net for the indoor practice. GOLF April Away, 1:00 17-Hofstra Home, 3:00 22-Juniata 25-Lycoming .

Dick Stauffer SCIENCE LECTURE N• Y• U• DEPT• HEAD WILL SPEAK TUESDAY by Jean Shofranko by Richard J. Myers Staving off a determined try by Lycoming, the Colonels retained their Middle Atlantic wrestling supremacy last weekend at Hofstra College, rolling up 63 points to win the crown for the third straight year. Wilkes duplicated last year's domination of the annual tournament by coming out on top with three gold-medal champions, Dick Stauffer, Ted Toluba, and Marv Antinnes. To Stauffer, Colonel 123-pound stalwart, went the honor of clinching the victory. Lycoming needed three wins in the final rounds to have any chance of scoring enough to topple the champions, and Stauffer met Al Hazzard of Lycoming in the 123 final. He trailed Hazzard, who put him in trouble in the first round, but escaped early in the second period to tie the bout, then scored a takedown to go ahead. The two exchanged takedowns in the final period and Stauffer won, 7-5. Toluba met King of Muhlenberg • th e 157 fl na l , an d ·be came th e m second Wilkes titleholder with , a fine 3-2 decision.

"This year we will take our lumps." So said wrestling coach John Reese at the start of the season. The "lump" turned out to be one of solid gold, the Middle Atlantic wrestling championship plaque. Lycoming tried, but no team could stop the inspired Colonels from taking their third straight title. This, according to Reese, was to be the rebuilding year, the time to test previously untested talent on the mats. If this is a rebuilding team, then we would hate to see the opposition next year - they won't know what hit them. In our opinion this is the best showing ever made by a Wilkes team. Consider the fact that four of the varsity wrestlers were competing in their first year of college grappling, this is exactly one-half of the squad. If you still are doubtful, check into the teams they beat: F. and M., Ithaca, and Lycoming among others. These teams do not rate the title "cream puff" in our book; they are tough to beat, yet the Colonels defeated them. Our wrestlers smashed their way to seven straight victories this year, not an unprecedented record to be sure, but certainly one to be proud of. The sports world is not exactly our 'line' but you don't have to be an expert to know when a team deserves all the credit in the world for a fine showing. Congratulations! The Answer Man Every president of every organization on campus has been bombarded, via Chase Hall mail box route, with queries about his organization in connection with the self-evaluation going on. These question sheets are usually printed on white paper, · in what we call "final exam blue" ink. The ditto machine has been working until all hours of the night turning out these articles of torture. The various committee chairmen on the evaluation committee want to know ALL, nothing can be hidden from their probing questions. For instance, one innocent-looking paper contained this loaded line: name the officers of your organization for the years between 1948 and 1959. We tried, but had to give up on that one. Some presidents, however, have emerged, dusty, but victorious, from stacks of old records with the answer. On the other hand, some of our 'leaders' have discarded in disgust the _carefully planned question sheets. Why? Because they require that old stopper, work. These questions were not dreamed up by some underworked faculty member who had nothing to do. They have a purpose. We grant that that purpose is not too generally known right now, but underneath it all, there is a reason. Let's get those answers returned to the proper person, it won't hurt. We realize that there is some duplication of effort, but that just makes the questions easier. Once you have looked up the answer for the first one, it is easy to write it down for the second committee. Some of the questions may seem silly (witness the one asked the Beacon: How are the students of the campus made aware of your organization?) but they must be answered sooner or later. We suggest that you save yourself embarrassment and answer them now. The Butler Did It We have been hearing some drastic statements around campus this week about the men from Butler Hall. It seems that the dormitory is holding a dance with the profit going to the families concerned with the recent mine disaster. Since the junior class decided to use its calendar date for a closed party, Wilkes was left without a Friday night dance, something that hasn't happened in years. The men of Butler, however, have not only provided us with a dance, but they have also added the incentive of having charity benefit. It is nice to see a group do something like this once in a while. Most of you who have ever sponsored a dance realize the work involved. At the end of that work, however, is the money-counting, the knowledge that you may not go into the red after all. Butler Hall, however, is just doing the work and waiving the bank book angle of the proposition. At least they will have the satisfaction of knowing that their work has not gone for nothing, they will have done a great service not only for the community, but also for the name of the college. -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.

Ralston and his family on the recent passing of his father. Our Reputation at Stake Aftex last week's letter to the editor and the facts contained therein, we begin to wonder at the obvious lack of thought by the student body in general. The request by the owners of Pocono Mountain Inn not to bring "hard" beverages to the Winter Carnival was ignored along with all the common rules of decency. M embers of the student body not only found it necessary to bring their own, but they also found it necessary to take a few things home with them. The exchange. of merchandise was not equal. or do we have to mention it? The reputation of the student body of Wilkes took a tremendous drop after the much debated carnival. They managed to smuggle out several no parking signs, a bridge stick, and the stuffed head of a deer. If this little incident doesn't cancel any future reservations that we might have made with the Inn, nothing ever will. No one in their right mind will ever take on a Wilkes group after this year. Frankly, we can't blame the owners of carnival sites for refusing to allow their places to be picked clean of anything movable. The All-Powerful The first editorial we wrote way back in September advocoted the acceptance of the revised constitution of the student body. We will now proceed to saw off the limb that we climbed out on at that time by finding fault with the constitution. To be a member of the student government, one must have that mythical thing called the "cumulative '2' average." This, as we understand it, is to protect both the student and the college. As the story goes, the student with the 2 is supposed to be able to devote more time to the organization because he is not bothered by excessive hours of study. On the other hand, the student with a 1.99, or lower, average is required to study so much that he will not be able to do justice to his position as a representative to the Student Government. This, we regret, is as we understand it. Anyone who considers this and other reasons for the allpowerful 2, will begin to wonder just exactly what the individual student has to say in the matter. Right now, he has nothing to b h Ir d h d h h h say ecause e a ea y a is say w en e voted for the installation of the constitution. We look at it this way; there has to be a line drawn somewhere along the grade line if only for the protection of the extracurricular crazy student. Some people ca~heerfully plod along in three or four__ activities while they are, at--the same time, on probation. This student obviously needs some'--l:es_triction because he has shown no sense in planning his activities. But s ince when are we, undergraduates, so thoroughly trained that we might set such a limit on ourselves? Administrators have set a minimum requirement for graduation. That minimum average is a 1.85, not a 2! If we are to leave the constitution as it stands now, we are saying in effect that it is more difficult to be a member of the Student Government or a president of a class than it is to graduate. If anyone should ask us, we will be only too happy to tell them that we would much rather get that little piece of parchment than be a member of the Student Government or the president of our class. If the administration is willing to allow a student with a 1.85 average to graduate, we should be willing to let him represent us on the Student Government or as our class president. We also advocate a change so that sophomore representatives not be required to have more than a 1.4 and the juniors a 1. 7, as it is required for admission to the class. For those of you who are about to sit down and call us a traitor for changing our view, we suggest that you check back in the first issue in September. The editorial we wrote referred and commented only on the changes in the constitution, we made no mention to the already existing clauses. This allmighty 2 is not a change, unless you want to be technical. In the days of the old constitution, the grade was a 'C', now it is a '2'. -mjk WILKES COLLEGE BEACON A newspaper published each week of the regular school year by and for the •s tudents of Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

GRAPPLER Booster Night Planned Aller 30-4 Moravian 'Warm-Up' 5 :18 Pin and 3-0 Defeat Earn Award for 137-lb. Point-getting Grappler . Joe Morgan is named "Athlete" with t he adjective "tremendous" not inclusive enough to herald his talents. Joe's 3-0 victory over previously undefeated Hartman of Franklin & Marshall College was enough to set hearts beating faster, but the clincher cam e when Joe came on again Friday night to slap another good wrestler's shoulders to th e mat and hold them for the r eq uired 3 seconds during the Moravian meet. Joe is not a newcomer to the Wilkes athletic scene, he took the "Athlete" award during the soccer season and filled in the 147 pound slot very nicely on last year's championship wrestling team. Although the wrestling team has had a long streak of victories, this is the first season that they have ·. been unbeaten and untied and Joe is one of the major point-getters that has made this possible. He has always been an aggressive type grappler, but this year his attitude on the mat seems to have changed enough so that he always has his opponent on the defensive. Joe might have acquired additional motives along with a new Joe Morgan bride. Last year he was married to a former Wilkes coed and they are presently residing in Forty Fort. Before coming to Wilkes Joe attended Girard College where he lettered on the wrestling team four years running. He also captained the grapplers in his senior year. HAVffiA PACES TEAM IN FINA.LE, WARRIORS AVEN·GE EARLY LOSS by Morgan Davis The Lycoming swimmers struck back in their second contest of the season with the Wilkesmen to gain a 51 to 37 victory. Coach Picton's splashers were afflicted with the maladies of cramps, forfeits, and disqualifications in their efforts to beat the Warriors in their home pool. With the Lycoming pool only 20 yards long, not the required 25 yard pool, the Colonels had a rough time of it last Saturday as they started out by dropping the first r elay, a medley 400 yard event, to the hard kicking Williamsport men. The next event showed the "Ironman," Carl Havira up to his old tricks in the 220 freestyle; he topped the field of contestants to win the event almost two full lengths ahead of his nearest competitor. Again in the 200 yard butterfly, "the roughest grind in swimming," Havira showed his heels and took an easy first place. Jake Zook, usually the Wilkes distance man, surprised the pack by pulling into the second place slot. The "Ironman" was also way ahead in the 200 yard breaststroke when he was disqualified on a t echnicality. Teammate Zook again took up some slack in the score with a first place in what is normally Havira's best event. Art Eckhart, freshman sprinter for the Colonels, was ruled second in one of the most disputable calls in Wilkes swimming history. Art took second in this 50 yard freestyle event while another Wilkes cohort, Walt Zionkowski, came in for the third. Again in the 100 yard freestyle, catastrophe seemed to dog the heels of Mr. Eckhart, as he was hauled from the pool with a bad case of stomach cramps. ·B errill Friedman saved part of the show when he copped the second place in the event. . . . After domg his part m the 400 medley relay, Pat Shovlin broke his 200 yard_ backstroke time with a fast 2 mmutes, 57 seconds to take a sure first place from the Warriors. Ken Selody also came in for an additional counter in that cont est. In the 440 distance contest, Bernie Wahalla seemed to be unwinding for the first time since last season as he came in for an easy second place. The Colonels forfeited the diving event to lose another 8 points and the meet. BOOSTER NIGHT Support Your BASKETBALL TEAM Tomorrow Night · +************************************************ Eddie Davis' Wilkes College cage squad m eets one of the top independent t eams on the eastern seaboard tomorrow night on the home court. The Philadelphia Textile Rams, coach ed by Walter 'Bucky' Harr is and sporting a 15 won - 3 lost r ecord, will invade the Wilkes gym at 8 :00 p.m. Last year the Rams, though beaten by Wilkes, r eceived a bid to play in the Eastern Regional At Large Tournament and are pointing for another bid to the same tourney this season. Philadelphia Textile will be led by Bob Simons, sophomore guard, the scpring leader in the Delaware Va lley area. Bob has amassed 424 points for a 23.8 average per game. The Rams also possess a fin e center in 6 feet - 3 inch Bob Molmgern who leads the team in rebounds. A booster night is being planned for this big game with all the high school basketball squads and their coaches being invited to attend.

Saturday Night's Results Last Saturday night the Wilkes Colonels came through with their best played game of the campaign and a victory over Hartwick College. Final score: Wilkes 92, Hartwick 79. With five men hitting in double figures, the Blue and Gold took command early in the contest and never r elinquished their advantage. Fran Mikolanis returned to his high-scoring form by zipping 26 points through the hoop. Center Ron Roski played one of the best games of his Wilkes College career. He scored 21 tallies and was a tower of strength off the boards. George Gacha hit for 16 counters and played a good floor game. Clem Gavenas, sophomore guard, came through with 13 markers and sparkled on defense. Bernie Radecki produced 11 points and led the Wilkes fast-break attack. I COLONELETIES BEAT BLOOMSBURG GIRLS by Lee Baiera On Wednesday, February 18, the Wilkes Colonelettes p 1 a y e d at Marywood and were defeated, 79 to 29.

Wilkes vs. Bloomsburg On Saturday, February 21, the Colonelettes defeated the Bloomsburg Varsity "B" Club at Bloomsburg. In this game Wilkes took the lead and kept it to win the game, 37 to 16. High scorers for this game were Carol Thomas and Sylvia Trewern, eleven points, Florence Billings, by Richard J. Myers Seeking their third consecutive title in the annual Middle Atlantic Conference wrestling tournament, the Wilkesmen are at Hofstra College tonight. The defending champions enter the contest as light favorites to take a n unprecedented third crown. Ted Toluba and Marv Antinnes are the Coloneh' two unbeaten entrants. Coach Reese's cha rges went unscathed t hrough a brief, seven-meet season , running into difficulty only with th e a lways powerful Franklin and Marshall team, and with a s~rprisingly strong Lycoming crew. Last Friday night the matmen re fused to believe the press clippings of the Moravian Greyhounds a nd came out of the 'Hounds kennel with a resounding 30-4 win. Bill Rink er, highly-touted 123pound er for Moravian, gave Dick Stauffer a rough tussle, but Stauffer's puz.zling style was too much fe r the flashy fr eshman from Bethlehem. Stauffer spent much of the first. period on his back, then picked up· three points on a: near-fall in thesecond. He was reversed then~ but Jed 7-6 . going into the third round. A wild and wooly final period saw Stauffer come out on top, 10-6, and the parade was on. Jerry Senick met game Dave Cornelius in the 130-pound bout and Marv Antinnes got a takedown midway through the first round, rode throughout the second, reversed Cornelius in the · third, then drove like a man possessed to turn in a solid fall at 7 :31. . Joe Morgan pinned 137 pounder Bob Sallish in 5 :18, to put the Colonels ahead, 13-0. Morgan, fresh from his sensational win over Hartman of F&M, looked even better at Moravian and got the nod as this · week's "Athlete of the Week" for his efforts. Moravian broke into the scoring for the first time when Ron Bienkowski and Dan Turner wrestled to a 1-1 draw in the 147-pound class. Ted Toluba met ex-gridder Bob Silvetz in the 157 bout and turned the halfback every way but loose t ,:) ring up a hard-earned 7-1 win. Toluba nearly pinned his man on several occasions, but had to settle for the decision, his third of the £Eason and seventh straight win. Four o.f his wins have come on falls.

Bedner, William (continued on page2) �2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIAL - Friday, February 20, 1959 DEAN'S UST During the first semester the Student Government organized a student leaders conference. The conference was a resounding success as evidenced by the majority vote by the leaders to hold another session in the spring. The question . we would like to bring· upright now is: why hold these productive meetings only twice a year? What is the argument against having regular meetings of the leaders on campus? Let's face the facts, we need more cooperation between campus groups. We have, in the past month or so, heard complaints that one group is deliberately trying to out-do every other group on campus. There seem to be some toes being stepped on, according to the rumor. We personally can not see why there should be . any bad feeling about a group trying to get ahead, but nevertheless, there it is. A student leaders conference might be able to clear up this feeling, if such a meeting does not solve the problem, at least everyone will know where everyone else stands. Another factor in favor of more frequent meetings is that clubs will be in a better position to assist each other in activities and problems. As an example, we have an idea that the CCUN will be needing some help with their Model General Assembly in April. An organized unit of clubs could and should help. How are these far-flung organizations going to know that they may be needed? They might get a throw-away notice in their mailbox. Unfortunately, the nickname given to these mimeographed sheets is often their fate also, they get thrown away. A mimeographed noticed is, to us, a rather cold, impersonal and incomplete way of explaining anything in the first place. Student leaders, if they live up to their title, should want to lead the student body as a whole, not just the small group that ha:epens to be in the organization that they are leading. All too often we see and hear about clubs that are trying to do some constructive good for the college but are failing because they have not gotten the full cooperation that they need to achieve their goals. Why? Because the groups who could give help either do not know, understand ·or care about the project. This problem can be easily eliminated by having meetings of the people who are supposedly running the show the student leaders. The November 17, 1950 issue of the Beacon carries a front page story about the Inter-Club Council, an organization that consisted . of the presidents and editors on campus. If the students felt a need for a council of this sort when the student body totaled much less than it does now, why don't we feel the need for it? You may want to blame the lack of interest on the socalled poor spirit that everyone cries about. The fact of the matter is that school spirit hit an all-time high on campus right after the first student leaders meetings. If you do not believe us, take a look at one of last year's Beacons and then compare it with a Beacon of this year. You will find that there is almost twice the amount of activities this year than there were last year. We believe that there is a definite corelation between the student leaders conference and the improved school spirit. Why should we neglect a good thing? We cannot continue to push everything off on the Student Government, they can not handle everything, nor should they have to. In our opinion the only way to get together is to get together at least once a month. Until we all realize this, we will continue to be a go-home-after-the-lastclass campus. -mjk LETTER to the EDITOR To: The Students of Wilkes College Subject: Winter 'Carnival The following are excerpts from letters received from Walt Fossa, an owner of Pocono Mountain Inn, after the Winter Carnival. January 30, 1959 "We also discovered that four of our blue "No Parking" signs are missing and were torn off the two benches by our lucky maple tree, off one pole and one tree. One of the four was on the ground and broken in half horizontally. The cost for making· these signs this past Fall was $2.50 each, or a total of $10.00." "Someone took along the bridge stick used on the pool table." "The cost for this Challenger .B ridge with head made by Brunswick - Balke - Collender Co. was $2.50." • February 5, 1959 "One thing we omitted from our letter of January 30, was a deer's head missing from the little coat rack room." "In speaking with one of the other large resort managers that once entertained you, we were told that they would never again entertain a Wilkes College group. We hope that you will reply to our previous letter and make good on this deer's head, or we too will join in their attitude." In reply to our query as to the value of the deer's head, Mr. Fossa sent the following reply: "You mention 'damages are something a resort owner should be well accustomed to and accept as an overhead experience.' I've got news for you. We seldom experience the lifting ·of items by guests. In fact, your group has been the first in twelve months to do this.'' "The deer's head was my first personal trophy from hunting. It cost $25.00 but you can't replace the sentimental value." On February 3, the Student Government passed by a unanimous vote a motion to pay $12.50 for the missing "No Parking" signs and the missing bridge stick. This in no way excuses the actions of those individuals who participated in these offenses. P etty larceny and vandalism cannot be excused simply by saying "students will be students, you know.'' The theft of the deer's head poses a more serious problem, not because of the monetary value, but because of the social implications. At the stake is the reputation of an entire student body and perhaps each individual graduate of that student body. I hardly think these reasons are of any importance to the guilty person or persons. But they are important to the innocent.

(continued from page I) by Fred Roberts Again last week we were rather strongly reminded that the United States faces a very grave challenge from the Soviet Union. Dr. Osusky, the renowned Czech patriot, was surprisingly objective, in his presentation in assembly, of the Russian menace. He did not. as so many refugees from Communism did, tell us that the Soviet satellites, in a state of swelling unrest, are ripe for revolution and U. S. intervention. Rather he said that the U.S.S.R. by "rationalizing" the economic relationships among the Soviet countries and because of its monolithic, dynamic, imperialistic totalitarianism system, resting on substantial theoretic grounds, has solidified Communist control. One of the ideas from his talk that I would like to consider here involves these realities of world economics. The other, presented earlier in his address in another connection has implications that can serve 'as a conclusion to what I am going to suggest.

Ted; the Colonels' scrappy 157-pound matman, continued his undefeated skein by pinning Don .Steele, Lycoming's veteran wrestler, in 3 :44. The pin set Coach John Reese's charges on the path to victory after the Warriors had built up a 13-3 lead. The victory was number five for the freshman grappler who also registered his third pin of the season. Although young in years, Ted is old in "wrestling know-how" as his L&Mis Lovv i~ tar Ted Toluba father has been coaching him since he was "knee-hig h." All this training proved itself when Ted got to the semi-finals of the Wilkes Open Wrestling Tourney before losing a close decision. This result was significant to Colonel wrestling followers as Ted's great showing in his inter-collegiate tournament wrestling debut proved the middle weights of the Blue and Gold squad are in good hands for the next four years.

Ted Toluba and Joe Herr tangled in what has to be the bout of the year. Ted took his man down three times in the first period, Herr reversed once, escaped once and the frantic period ended with Toluba ahead, 7-3. Herr was on top in the second, got three points for a near fall, then Toluba took over. Ahead 7-6, he got two points for a reversal, one point for a predicament, and three points for a near fall in less than 30 seconds. Then, ahead 13-6, he recorded the second Wilkes fall in 5 :08. Marv Antinnes completed the ,Wilkes wins with a beautiful performance, icing the meet with a 6-0 win over Skip Taylor. Walt!

Marv Antinnes, at 16'7, cradled Gail Frye halfway th rough th e second period, got three points for a near-fall, then, from his back, pinned Frye with 48 seconds in the round. The fall tied the meet at 13-13. Then Walt Glogowski came roaring out, and nailed 177 pound Warrior Don Dyke with a crotch-cradle hold after a takedown in just 29 seconds. With only 40 seconds elapsed, the referee's hand signalled another Wilkes fall. The scoreboard showed Lycoming trailing, 18-13. Heavyweight Bob Sislian only had to keep John Wilbur at bay to insure the victory. In doing so, he was required to play "cautious" and lost, 4-3. The loss, however, insured the meet win, 18-16. Dick Stauffer started the Colonels off on the i·ight foot with an exciting 7-3 win over Al Hazzard with his deceptive, "upside-down" style. In the 130 pound class, Gerard Senick ran into trouble, losing a high-scoring bout to Bill Kehrig by a 7-5 count. Mike Armstrong, in his first appearance of the year at 137 pounds, ran against Middle Atlantic 137 runner-up Harry Rohmig. The Warrior showed the fans a splendid variety of holds and led Armstrong 9-0 when he recorded a fall in 1 :16 of the second period. Armstrong displayed a great deal of courageous effort, but was no match for the sensational Warrior captain. Joe Morgan moved up t en pounds to the 147 pound class to take on Bob Pac and suffered the same fate, but not without throwing a good scare into Pac. Morgan led, 2-0, GOALS FOR PICTONITES Posting a record of one legitimate and two forfeit wins the Colonel swimming team travels to Lycoming tomorrow to test the Warriors for the second time this season. The natator squad may again have to spot an opposing team eight points before the contest starts.

Freshman sprinter Art Eckhart has shown more and more improvement as the season has progressed until now he can be counted on for an almost sure five points in either the 50 or 100 yard freestyl e sprints. Another factor that might tip the scales in the favor of the Wilkes squad is the possible loss of Lycoming's best 220 and 440 yard man, Sam Thompson. Thompson was hospitalized with a concussion when he failed to negotiate the first turn in a 220 yard freestyle event against Wilkes two weeks ago. Pat Shovlin and Ken Selody will be the mainstays for the Blue and Gold in the backstroki,ng events, with Shovlin probably also competing in the rigorous butterfly event. Walt Zionkowski will also be another starter in the short distance events. Letterman Bernie Wahalla will be out to better his time in the 440 along with another newcomer in the aquatic scene, Jake Zook. Jake has been steadily decreasing his time in the long distance grind. Berrill Friedman, another Picton stalwart, has been steadily improving on his time and has been showing an increasing fondness for gathering team points. He will also be counted on to bring home the bacon for Beacon readers. This will be the last Colonel swimming meet of the year and the team members are exuding a real aura of self-confidence for the first time since rthe natator acti vity has been re-activated. squad and has built the nucl eus of his team around these boys.

The Colonels played excellent ball at the start of the first half and led the Indians for 15 minutes. The attack then bogged down and Juniata took the lead at half time. The Blue and Gold came baok strong at the start of the second half, narrowing the Juniata lead to 8 points, but once again the..drive stalled and the home t eam went on to win. Ron Roski was high man for the Colonels with 16 points, Fran Mikolanis netted 14 tallies, and Bernie Radecki garnered 13. Radecki suffered a n ear-serious accident at the start of the contest when his glasses were shattered and pieces of glass entered his eye. However, "Doc" Davis operated on the floor and Bernie stayed in the game and performed in his u sual fine manner. The Colonels were unable to corral Juniata's high scoring small man, Don Burnich, who poured 28 counters through the cords. Last Thursday Wilkes traveled to Ithaca, N.Y. and were defeated by the Ithaca College Bombers by the score of 111-73. 5 GOLF LETTERMEN RETURN TO TEAM The golf t eam had its first r egular meeting last Tuesday with Coach Welton Farrar.

HOLDS HAPPY FRIDAY BEST DRESSED CONTEST THE THIRTEENTH! (see page 3) Vol. XXIII, No. 16 WILKES COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA Applications Available For Government Loans Applications for loans under the Federal Aid to Students program are available in the Finance office. The loans will be available to students who need financial aid in order to complete college. The National Defense Student Loan plan was devised by the U. S. Government to help people who otherwise would either have to suspend their educations or drop out of college entirely because of financial need. Applicants must obtain the forms as soon as possible and submit their requests by February 20. Submission of the request, however, does not guarantee in any way that the applicant will receive the grant. Of the request for $3,836,435 made by colleges in the State of Pennsylvania, only $354,192 was granted, about one-tenth of the total. Of that amount, $7,847 has been alloted to Wilkes, far below the amount requested. The primary factor in determining who shall get a loan will be need. In addition to being needy, a student must be attending college full time and be in good standing. A certain preference will be given to those planning to be teachers, as well as to those majoring in such fields as science, mathematics, and engineering. Repayment plans for borrowers under this program are designed to give future teachers a reduction depending upon the number of years they teach. Others have the advantage of taking up to five years to repay the loans in the Federal government's plan to make a college education more readily available to those who now cannot afford it. A.

Although decorations will revolve around the centraltheme of the dance; "Holiday of Hearts," the T.D.R. girls who usually come up· with the unusual, will add an abstract touch by using American beauty red, timid pink, and lavender in all decorations. The ceiling will be aqorned with multi·colored streamers which will meet at the center and be highlighted by a mobile chandelier of cascading hearts. The backdrop, always the main focus of interest, will be a two dimensional lacework pattern of hearts, doves, flowers, and cupids resulting in a three dimensional effect. According to two slightly prejudiced members of the backdrop committee it is "undescribably delicious." ---------------,,,.,, 2 W.C.

For those of you that missed getting your Beacon last week, we apologize. The system has two main features; first, Beacons will be left in five buildings on campus, excluding the Commons; second, the paper will _b e out well before noon and will therefore be available to students as they emerge from their 11 o'clock classes. For the most part the system worked, but we were unavoidably late in getting to campus with the paper and several students reported that they had not been able to find a copy of the Beacon anywhere on campus. We hope that this week's distribution will be better, bu_t we would appreciate any suggestions for improvement. Nice Going As mentioned above, we had some trouble with last week's issue of the Beacon. We have heard some comments to the effect that the issue 'Jl.'.aS not up to par and we feel that an explanation is required. Our Thursday schedule usually ends at 3 o'clock when the forms are put on the printing press. Last Thursday however, the linotype machine refused to operate and we were faced with the situation of having only a quarter of the copy set in type. At five o'clock we were seriously considering the possibility of cancelling the Beacon completely. Even if the machine could have been fixed, there was still over eight hours of work to be done before the paper could be ready for the press. The usual quitting time for the Schmidts is five o'clock and we never even considered asking them to stay overtime. As it turned out, we didn't have to ask - they just stayed there until 11 Thursday night and they were back on the job at 8 o'clock Friday morning. This kind of cooperation is not a common thing in the business world; it is, however, the kind of cooperation that Schmidt's Printery has been giving the Beacon for years. Ooops! We Did It Again! . Last Saturday night, Mr. Carl Zoolkoski brought to our attention the fact that one of our fillers contained a mis-statement. M~. Z?o1:Jcoski in_formed ~ that 70 _per cent of the University of M1am1 did not fail all their courses, 1t was 70 per cent of a physics class.

By Assembly Speaker; Brotherhood Next Week ~ by Lee Baiera Dr. Stefan Osusky, noted Ozecho- · slovakian statesman, gave a · dynamic, informative talk entitled "The_ Way of the Free" at Tuesday1s assembly. Since Dr. Osusky just came back from a three months stay in Europe, he began his talk by sharing some of his latest experiences with the student body. He said that the struggle for . domination between the free world and the communist countries was no longer a struggle of military might but an economic one. He also said that the United States is economically no longer independent. Osusky stated that Khruschev commented that in 1970 Soviet Russia is going to outstrip the production of the United States. Dr. Osusky has a diverse and renowned background. In World War I he was the youngest collaborator of President Thomas Masaryk and was one of the founders of Czechoslovakia. From 1920 to 137 he represented his country at the Assembly of the League of Nations. For his exceptional service given to Czechoslovakia, this country awarded him the Karlik Prize, the Czechoslovakian Nobel Prize. From January, 1921, until the fall of France, Dr. Osusky served as minister of Czechoslovakia to France. When France fell, he took refuge in London. There he became a member of the Czechoslovakian government in exile and of the Legislative State Council, organized on British soil after the fall of France. During the past four years Dr. Osusky has been a Visiting Professor of European Civilization and Culture at Colgate University. The work of this great statesman has not been limited only to his native Czechoslovakia. He has received decorations from France, Poland, Yugoslavia, Greece, Rumania, Luxembourg, Bolivia, and Chile. Next Assembly Featured speaker at next Tuesday's assembly will be Dr. Abraham Barras of Temple Israel, South River Street. The assembly will mark the observance of Brotherhood Week in America - a week marked with special emphasis of the spiritual ties of the national and religious groups of the nation. _Dr. Barras is a prominent speaker in the Valley and has done much in promoting co-operll,tion among various peoples.

Enti.tled "Relation of Susceptibility to Set to Recovery from Set," the paper is the result of the combined efforts of Dr. John Gaito and Michael Lozman, senior pshychology major, who will read it before the EPA. The paper is concerned with a variety of important factors having to do with the general area of problem-solving. The basic hypothesis on which the expreiment was conducted is that people can very easily be "set," that is, conditioned, to react in similar ways to similar stimului, and that there are certain stimulus conditions which are important in the development of "set," but that the individual characteristics are most important to the subject's recovery from "set."

Debalors Sevenlh In Hopkins Meet Two representatives of the Wilkes College debating t eam, Fred Roberts and Roberta F einstein, traveled to Baltimore for the Johns Hopkins Tourney over the weekend of January 30. In a fi eld of forty t eams the Wilkes debators placed seventh with a total of 272 points. The topic debated was "Resolved : That futur e development of nuclear weapons should be prohibited by international agreement." Roberts and Feinstein upheld both sides of the topic. In the competition Wilkes defeated Northeastern and Navy in the first round. In another round which paired winners against winners, Maryland and Wheaton defeated the Wilkes representatives. Later, in another round, Wilkes rallied to defeat St. Michael's of New Hampshire and Johns Hopkins. In th i s year's tournament Roberts, with a total of 141 points ranked eleventh in the individual scoring. In previous years Wilkes placed third three times with 5-1 r ecords and won the tourney in 1955 with a 6-1 r ecord.

The choi.c e of classes was enth~siastically approved by those who managed to get to the gym at _7 a.m. on Friday and therefore got firs1 choice. For those who didn't get there early, or those whose names don't begin with R to Z, there was much dissatisfaction. The A to M lines wound around the jam-packed gym, out the door and back to Ohav Zedek Synagogue, while the rest of the alphabetically lucky ones marched right into the gym, up to the registrar's table and on to the best classes. We can not see why: 1) the alphabetical distribution was not checked beforehand and made more equal; or 2) why there were not more registrar's tables - perhaps one on each side of the gym. We fully realize that to have more tables means more people will have to be paid for working; that is if the system of employment continues. On this topic there are several suggestions. _ The first and foremost is to have TDR, a service organization, or the Lettermen, volunteer members to assist in giving out trial re~istration forms at two tables. This would free experienced personnel to help at the finance desk, and would also facilitate the possibility of having a more equal breakdown of the alphabetical lines. The second suggestion calls for a club or organization on campus, such as the Student Government or the Economics Club for instance, get together and volunteer to assist in the registration. The finance line, usually the worst in the entire process, was improved considerably with the use of already printed receipt. However, this line could be speeded up by instigating a new system. Perhaps payments could be made due by the week before registration. For those who could and would pay, the line would be eliminated. For those who do not pay before registration, the usual long grumbling line would be the only solution. There could possibly be a separate table set up for those who have paid, or for those who have tuition scholarships and do not have to pay. Having to stand on a long line just to tell someone that you do not pay tuition is annoying to any student. On the whole, registration this year was better than ever just like the movies; but like the movies, improvement is not impossible. -mjk Oh, Say Can You See Wilkes College is by far the most patriotic institution in the United States. This statement can be made without reservation if one considers the fact that the American Flag is rarely, if not never, taken from its station atop the flag pole on Chase lawn. • Students who leave the library at 9:30 at night have the opportunity to admire our beautiful red, white and blue through the inky blackness.

Letters To The Editor: Since a few Student Council actions have rece.ntly . come in for some criticism, it is worthwhile at the beginning of the new semester to point out ·that Article VII of the Student Constitution provides a means of effective protest against Student Government decisions. According to that section a Court of Appeals, made up of two faculty and two student members and one r epresentative of the administration, has the power · by majority vote to overrule the Student Council subject only to a two-thirds vote by the Council upon the Court's final decision. The procedure for g etting a matter before the Court is relatively simple; just give a written brief containing a summary of the argumentation and evidence presented on the matter before the Council. The Council in turn shall also file a summary of the case presenting its reasons and the minutes of the meeting at which the matter was argued. The Court may, before r endering a decision, require further investigation before a hearing.

Musto, a bit of a linguist himself, is faced with the big job of t eaching them English so that they can move into regular classes. He also tries to incorporate Americanism and democracy into their regular class work, giving them a clear er picture of life in the United States. By t eaching them five or six new words a week, he has now gotten them to the stage of writing complete sentences. Musto explained that he "lets them work at their own pace and doesn't move them along as a group." He now has two groups - one well advanced, and the others beginners. He pointed out that an Hungarian-speaking girl who had been in his class at ,t he start of this year already has gone into the regular eighth grade English class.

Dear Editor: It was brought to my attention that some individual in our student body had placed an unauthorized notice on the blackboard in Pickering Hall to the effect that the S.A.M. meeting was cancelled. The notice caused several members to miss the meeting held at 12:00 noon on Tuesday, February 3. The notice was also falsely signed with the name of one of the S.A.M officers. I can not help questioning the intelligence of the person responsible for that notice. I am also sure that that person would not have the courage to admit his guilt to me personally or to any other member of the S.A.M. Chapter. I am only consoled in knowing that students whose character shows disregard for the rights of others are in the very minority at Wilkes. by Jim Eidam With regret, David D.

Dr. Osusky, who has been described as a dynamic speaker and brilliant diplomat, will present a talk entitled "The Way of the Free." Our speaker is well qualified to expound on this subject, for he has had a diverse and renowned background. In World War I Dr. Osusky was the youngest collaborator of President Thomas Masaryk and was one of the founders of Czechoslovakia. From 1920 to 1937 he represented HON. STEFAN ·osusK.¥ , his country at the Assembly of the League of Nations. For his exceptional service r e n d er 'e d to Czechoslovakia, this cou~try awarded him the Karlik Prize, the Czechoslovakian Nobel Prize. From January, 1921, until the fall of France, Dr. Osusky served as minister of Ozechoslovakia to France. Upon the fall of France Dr. Osusky took refuge in London. There he became a member of the Czechoslovakian government in ex,ile and of the Legislative State Council, organized on British soil after the fall of France. For the past four years Dr. 0susky has been a Visiting Professor of European Civilization and Culture at Colgate University. The work of this great statesman has not been limited only to his native Czechoslovakia. He has received decorations from France, Poland, Yugoslavia, Greece, Rumania, Luxemburg, Bolivia and Chile. The students at Wilkes are privileged to have such a renowned person to share his experiences with them. This assembly program will undoubtedly prove one of the high spots of this year's program.

Dick Stauffer set the scene with a 1 :45 fall over sophomore Barry Silverstein after taking about one minute to execute a takedown. Ted Toluba set the Wilkes fans buz.zing when he turned in his third straight fall this year, pinning sophomore Phil Rodman in 38 seconds of the second period after a scoreless first round. Captain Walt Glogowski showed his fans some· more of his famous whirlwind brand of wrestling when he came from behind to pin Jerry Levkov in 3:15. Levkov led at the end of the first round, 2-0. Walt escaped in three seconds of the second period, only to be taken down before the period was five seconds old. On his back, and momentarily in trouble, the wily 177pounder pulled a beautiful reverse and pulled off the pin. All this fa &t action took place in just fifteen seconds. Senior Jack Izower, co-captain of the Beavers, turned in the only win when he was awarded the decision in the 147-pound bout with Ron Bienkowski. The score at the end of the bout was 1-1, but lzower had a time advantage and saved the meet from being a shutout. Gerard Seniek took a sturdy 130pounder, Ron Alter, by an 8-3 score. Tunkhannock's Joe Morgan, at 137, won a solid, 6-1 decision from junior Ron Reis. Marv Antinnes displayed fine riding ability to register a 5-2 d~cision over J erry Horowitz in the 167-pound class, and heavyweight Bob Sislian took a 3-0 win from the other -Beaver co-captain Milt Gittleman after holding his man in check throughout the entire second period when he was "up" in the referee's position.

Honored at the dinner were fifteen day school and eight evening school students who completed their requirements for degrees on January 27. The dinner, originally suggested by the senior class executive council , will become an annual affair in the future. The program for the festivities included an invocation which was followed by the singing of several selections by the Wilkes Collegians. Mr. Russ Picton then said a few words of welcome to the graduates on behalf of the Alumni Association . Mr. Picton then introduced Dr. Farley who gave the principal address of the evening. The following students have compl eted their requirements: B.S. in Nursing Education: Theresa Elizabeth Abate, Helen Elizabeth Beizup, Ann Margaret Richards, Florence Dorothy Shusta and Elizabeth Leona Talmon. B.S. in Business Administration: Paul Rubin Abrams. B.S. in Commerce and Finance: William E. Acornley, Ernest Ashbridge, Jr., Arnold Marty Hoeflich, WRlter F.

Fish II. Crustaceans." Thirty - three original r esearch papers prepared by research workers and physicians from universities, medical schools, and :teaching centers throughout the U. S. will be presented at the 15th annual meeting of the Academy. Dr. Cohen's original investigation involved animal experimentation and was re lated to certain problems in allergic reactions :to fish and shellfish. Dr. Cohen explained the research project to have been divided into three parts. !'First," he said, "we found that in some instances that certain vitamin preparations and pharmaceutical products of fish origin, were capable of causing allergic reactions. We then studied the relationships between eatable fish and shellfish that would explain allergic reactions in susceptible individuals. "Certain water insects are used in the preparations of commercial products are used as food for tropical fish and goldfish. We studied the properties of these insects that would indicate their potentiality in causing reactions in people who are a llergic to related eatable shellfish such as crab, lobster, and shrimp." In the collection and study of water insects, Dr. Cohen was assist ed by Dr. Charles Reif, head of the Biology Department.

Under the new system, there will be five pick-up poin:ts on campus: the Library, Stark Hall, Conyngham Hall, the Bookstore, and Pickering Hall. Deliveries will no longer be made to the Commons. It is felt by the editorial staff that the five spots are the best representative locations, making the Beacon more easily available· to more students. The reason for the shift in policy is not an arbitrary or capricious whim, designed to put more people to work. It is, ATTENTION! rather, a serious effort to alleviate a serious condition. When this issue was distributed, the Commons was a scene No books or papers will be alof furious noon-time mob action as hundreds of eager hands lowed in the lobby of the gymnaripped at the newly arrived newspapers.

Finally, the waste, i.e., coffee-stained, crumpled, doodledupon newspapers are left for disposal while hundreds of students who don't get near the Cafeteria on Friday afternoon are deprived of a copy. These students have every bit as much right to a Beacon, but are often disappointed. The new policy may not guarantee better distribution, but with student cooperation, it is a step in the right direction. The students will help by picking up one copy only. Nearly every student will be in one of the five buildings at some time during .the day, and needn't feel that he must wait for a friend to pick up an extra copy for him. Also, we suggest that students, when finished reading them, keep their copies. At a later date, they may be valued as mementoes of Wilkes. In addition, we are sure that parents by Richard J.

Miss Mary Homan, TDR president, attended a coffee hour Wednesday night, sponsored by the Women of the March of Dimes. At this m eeting, plans for having the proceeds of the dance donated to a single cause were discussed. At press time, no definite word had been received as to whether the dance proceeds would be given to a specific cause or to the local March of Dimes fund.

Morris will play a major part in the interviewing and orientation of the incoming frosh , and will assist in counselling and scholarship investigations. He will also work with the placement office to seek employment for those students who must work to get through college. He will assume his new duties in February, following completion of his work towards a degree in Business Administration, with a major in Personnel Relations. In addition to his educational preparations for the post, Morris gained invaluabl e practical experience in the fi eld , serving a fouryear tour of duty with the U. S. Navy. He has expr essed a strong desire to a ssist with t he new program at Wilkes, partly beca use the work by Connie Stukowski Intending to prove the old proverb that two heads or two organizations are better than one, the I.R.C. and freshman class will jointly sponsor a dance, appropriately entitled the Final Fling, on Friday, January 30. As usual, the place is the gym and the time is from 9 to 12 o'clock. Originally -the dance was scheduled to be sponsored by the International Relations Club. However, after r epeated requests by the frosh to sponsor more activities, Victor Turoski, the class president, persuaded the I.R.C. to make the dance a joint affair. Thus, the dance is now being sponsored by the I.R.C. and the freshman class, with profits being split on a fifty-fifty basis. The dance will commemorate a momentous event at Wilkes - the end of finals. Students will have an opportunity to forget past pitfalls or to celebrate past achievements as they dance to the strains of The Blue Notes orchestra. Appropriate decorations are also being planned to further accentuate the theme. All this will be provided for the mere admission price of fifty cents. Each committee for the dance is composed of two students, one from each organi2ation. General chairmen of the dance are Carol Emanski and Robert Davis. Assisting them are Cynthia Dysleski and John Salva, decorations; Paul Levin and Stephan Hellersperk, r efreshments; Daniel Lewis and Rhea Politis, tickets; Al Gordon and Don Wilkinson, publicity; and Elaine Lefikowitz and Arthur Evans, entertainment. Under sponsorship of the student government, the event incorporates winter sports, indoor games and contests, g ood food and drinks, and dancing, plus myriads of other a ctivities for everyone's enjoyment. The following schedule of cont ests and activities for .the day was r elea sed by activities chairman Dick Salus, at a meeting of the carnival committee Tuesday aft er noon in the commons.

All students, according to the unofficial word, will be allowed to fill in their own schedules before registration for the Spring semester. As you enter the gym, you will be presented with your trial registration form which already has your subjects on it, and a schedule of class times and rooms. Each student will choose his own section and class time from the sheet and then attempt to get the corresponding card from the rear of the gym. This new system will give the student some leeway in planning his day and choosing his instructor. We think that this may be ihe answer to the long debated question of schedule changing. With full student cooperation, the plan should work except for that poor freshman who gets trampled in the :rush for that last, lonely History 102 C card. -mjk WHAT ...

ANSWF.RS: Leona A. Baiera In order to ha ve a n honor syst em at Wilkes there must be impli cit co-operation and honesty among the stud ents. Each student should kn ow what an honor system incorporates, an d must be awa re of its advantages and disadvantages. Al Kishel I definitely believe that there should be one at Wilk es , but under present conditions "temptation" would be too great for one to exist. Mar y Homan I think it's an excell ent idea, and it is not right to say that it would not work unl ess it wer e first given a chan ~e. Grace Schneider I th ink the honor system is unr ealistic, impractical, and of no benefit to the students. The honest students wouldn't cheat anyway, and an honor system would only benefit the dishonest. It's similar to a communistic or fascistic form of government, because it turns the honor students into informers. It is also an easy way for one student to take out revenge on another student. I know what I am talking about, for I went to a school that had an honor system. Marie Realmuto I am against having an honor system at Wilkes because it will not guarantee a student won't cheat. If he would cheat without an honor system, he would also cheat with one. Fred Roberts I am against having one at Wilkes because I don't think it would work. Constance Stukowski Before I could express my sentiments on an honor system, I would have to have a clear conception of all that it entails. I do know, however, that to be successful, an honor system should be 100 per cent student backed. Fran Bishop I think that it is a fine idea one that should be acceptable to anyone who is interested in the improvement of Wilkes and themselves. Bob Beneski I think that an honor system is good, but I do not think it would work at Wilkes. Students are too wide-spread. If one were started, it should be with incoming freshmen.

Sheila Williams If an honor system wo1,ks at other schools, there's no reason why it wouldn't work here. Mrs. Mary R. E. Brown It is impossible to state categorically that an honor system will or will not be successful at Wilkes. The desire for one must arise from the students themselves, and the students must be willing to implement it wholeheartedly. There must be complete co-operation among the students and an atmosphere created which will make a student value his honor. One who violates the trust thus imposed should feel that the action would be disapproved by the student body and that he would no longer be worthy to attend Wilkes College. Dixie Lee Harvey It would r eally be a good idea to have an honor system here, but much indoct r ination and teaching must be ·on e first in order to put it across.

President Rodger Lewis was in charge of the meeting. A final report was submitted by committee members of the senior dance held during the Christmas recess. R. T. Mattioli is serving as student chairman for a dinner to be held in the cafeteria in honor of the January graduates. Russ Picton, general chairman of the affair, has announced that it will be open to the graduates and their guests only. Services of a caterer have been engaged. Wayne Griffith presented information gathered on a gift from the class to the college. Four sensible suggestions were received from the students, and the class will vote their preference, via post card, in the near future. Members were reminded of the class dance to be held on March 13. Bob Payne is chairman for this affair. The president also reminded the class of the student government e lection. Results of this election, held last Thursday, to fill student government seats vacated by Bob Morris and Barbara Federer, were the appointments of Elisabeth .Schwartz and R. T. Mattioli. MORRIS APPOINTED (continued from page 1) ship. He served as business manager of the school paper, treasurer of his class, four-year member of the Student Government, as well ,as being an honor roll student. As if this were not enough to keep one man busy, he also found time to participate in football, wrestling, and track, was co-captain of the football team in his senior year. While in the Navy he continued his wrestling, taking the A.A.U. 167-pound championship in the Washington, D.C., area in 1952. After entering Wilkes, Morris continued to excel in both studies and extra-curricular activities. H e has wrestled actively and now serves as assistant to Coach Reese. In addition to serving as Student Government president, his name appears in "Who's Who in American Colleges," he is a member of the senior class Executive Council, and is treasurer of the Wilkes Chapter of the Junior Chamber of Commerce. In spite of his h eavy load of outside work, he has still found time to do better-than-adequate academic work, proof of which is the Dean's List, where his nam e has been recorded often. If further proof of his abilities to deal w ith people were needed, a check of his part-time and summer jobs will provide it. He has variously worked as: waiter, gas station attendant, grocery store clerk, tobacco farm laborer, and supervisor of activities at the Forty Fort swimming pool. In addition, he has worked actively with the present freshman class this year, teaching orientation classes and generally preparing himself to work in his chosen profession. The Wilkes Colonelettes displayed a snappy bra nd of basketball last Monday when th ey defeated the Wyoming Seminary varsity squad, 43 - 15, in a practice gam e h ere. The Colonelettes junior varsity grabbed the lead early in the first quarter and never relinquished it throughout the entire conte st . Newly elected captain Jocelyn King led the home team scoring with 16 points in her first college contest. Florence Billings was second with 8. Beverly Major and Nancy Davies, veterans of laS t year's squad, tied for thi rd place in the scoring honors wi th 7Freshman Mary Ann Furey alternated between the forward and guard positions and picked up 7 points. High scorer for Seminary was Judy Fassett with 5 points. Marywood - 51 to 30 With added experience and h igh enthusiasm, the Wilkes Women played hostesses to the fast-moving Marywood squad last W ednesday night. The Colonelettes held their own during the first quarter, the period ended with a 7-all score Wilkes moved ahead, 13 to 9 , at the beginning of the second period, but gradually lost the lead to the more experienced Marywood team Final score was 5l-30. Both teams suffered on the foul line, Wilkes made only five out of fifteen free throws, while Marywood collected only five out of eighteen on the charity line. Sophomore Florence Billings was the only Wilkes player to hit double figures in the scoring race. Florence tallied 14 counters, with fiv e in the last quarter. Captain Jocelyn King contributed nine points to the score before fouling out half-way through the last quarter. Beverly Major connected with two long shots and hit on three out of three foul tosses for a total of 7 points. Retired Recruits vs. Varsity?

The negative t eam of Roberta Feinstein and Fred Roberts logged a perfect record of four wins, while the affirmative team, Gwen Evans and Cliff Brothers, lost only one of four. Fred Roberts was named first speaker and received a gold medal, while Brothers earned the silver medal as second speaker. It is the fourth year since 1955 that "Good N eighbor" first speakers have been members of Dr. Kruger's teams. Roberts joins Bruce Warshal, Jesse Choper, and J. Harold Flannery, Jr., as a member of debating's "elite". Brothers was participating in only his second tournament. In fact, until the N.Y.U. "Hall of Fame" tourney a few weeks ago, he had never even seen or heard collegiate debate. The affirmative team at Bucknell defeated Penn State Wom en, Dickinson, and Bucknell and lost to Penn State Men. The negative team defeated the affirmative members of the same schools. On the weekend of January 3031, Wilkes will be represented in the Johns Hopkins Invitational at Baltimore. Fred Rob erts and Roberta Feinstein will enter as a twoman team. A business m eeting of Cue 'n' Curtain was h eld recently, at which time three resignations were accepted, and three n ew committee h eads were named. Howard All en, a senior, resigned as head of the lighting committee and Roy Morgan, a junior was named to the post. Paul Abrams, w ho will graduate at the end of this semester, gave up his position as chairman of the backstage committee and Dave Kistler was named as h ead. Michael Crush r esigned as publicity head and Steve Cooney was given the appointment. Plans were abandoned by the club to present the production of "Tiger at the Gates," due to insuffi cient funds left in the treasury from the Student Government allotm ent.

A question which has arisen with increasing frequency from many members of the student body here at Wilkes is, "What is S.A.M. ?" An explanation of exactly what S.A.M. is, its activities and its objectives, is necessary if this question is to be answered fully. POPULAR LECTURER TO SPEAK NEXT WEEK by Cynthia Hagley The platform guest of the n ext assembly is Joe Callaway known as "the best young lecturer on the theater today." Mr. Callaway is an actor who has performed on Broadway with such stars as Martha Scott, Victor Jory, Judith Evelyn and McDonald Carey. His lectures have taken him on nine successful coast-to-coast tours, besides a year's tour in Europe to fourteen different countries. Mr. Callaway's experience on Broadway is only a small part of his stage career. He has played in sixteen different Shakespearean plays as a member of the famous Globe Theater Company and has directed a Miami Beach stock company and the San Diego Community Theat er. Recently, h e has dir ected and been featured with outstanding eastern summer theaters. Two of Mr. Callaway's most popular programs are Play Parade and Shakespeare a la Mode. In Play Parade h e comments on, acts in, scenes from great comedies and com edy-dramas. In the Shakespeare program, h e portrays characters from scenes in Julius Caesar, As You Like It, Much Ado About Nothing and others. The following are comments made by various organizations and newspapers on Mr. Callaway's lecture: the New York Times - "Pay suitable attention to Joe Callaway;" the New York Daily Mirror " Outstanding;" the Honolulu Advertiser - "Joe Callaway knows his theater, views it with insight, treats it with rare humor and understanding;" Evergreen, Washington State College - "Callaway left the campus in an hilarious uproar over hi s devastatingly amusing presentations from Broadway." The students of Wilkes may look forward to an educational and amusing program. The initials S.A.M. stand for The Society for Advancement of Management. This Society is the recognized national organization of management in industry, commerce, government, and education, and is dedicated to the promotion of the art and science of management. . Through the more than 137 Um versity Chapters located in the United States, this organization en-1 deavors to strengthen managemen ed ucation. While the program ha been primarily designed for stu dents preparing for careers in business and industry, the various ac-· tivities of individual college chapters have been developed to further the growth of all students, regardless of their academic major, by stimulating their thinking and widening their knowledge in such area s as materials, machines, and the efficient utilization of manpower. Society activities include seminars, clinics, lectures, and plant visits, all of which help the student gain an insight into the actual practice of the management profession. This type of program imparts to each student a fuller appreciation of the working t echniques of American industry. The three basic objectives of each University Chapter are: 1. To bring together business executives and students preparing for careers in the business world. 2. To distribute information concerning the present problems and policies of industry. 3. To provide stud ents with the opportunity of participating in the planning and direction of an organization dedicated solely to furthering the advancement of management. Management is a profession. Like any existing profession, it is an art composed of its own body of principl es, tools , and skills. Even more than this, it is an attitude of the mind, a point of view; it works toward a better understanding of the problems facing industry and business in today's complex societ y. !

This motion was made by Paul Klein and the vote on it was ten in favor, one opposed and one abstention. The discussion on this subject lasted for about fifteen minutes. It was pointed out that ·a n organization such as the Beacon could attend a committee meeting and then print a biased article on that meeting. P ertaining to the part of .the motion that states the president can close a committee meeting if he find s it necessary, it was mentioned that this would give a committee m emb er more freedom to discuss an activity if members of that activity were not present. The president must be convinced of the importance of having a committee meeting closed· before h e officially decides to close it. The Parlia m entarian of the Student Government said that nothing has ever been stated legally about Student Government committee m eet ings being clos_ed or opened. In the past, however, several Student Government co mmittee meetings were reported by committee m embers as being closed.

In connection with the handbook, it is t entatively planned to have an all-student handbook next year. This would be made up of three sections: a gener~l section under the chairmanship of Paul Klein, a dorm section with Pat Yost as chairman and the Freshman section under the co-chairmanship of Bob Amey and Rhea Politis. A report was given on the Honor System Committee by Gordon Rob erts. H e asked for an enlargement of the committee with the addition of faculty members. He announced that th e next stop of the committee was a polling of the stud ent body on the question of having or not having an honor system. l . This week has been perhaps th e most exciting, informative, and progressive in the short but eventfill ed history of the Wilkes College University Chapter of the Society for the Advancement of Management. Starting •off the week's age nd a was a board of directors meeting held at noon Monday in the cafet eria. Jake Zook was appointed chai rman of the board of directors and th e meeting progressed with the board's discussion of business reports and forms, a S.A.M. n ewsletter, incentive awards, and the appointment of a by-laws committee chairman. Monday evening by in vitation of Mr. Albert C. Smith, national director, and Mr. Edward B.

Dr. Gilbreth's husband was a pioneer in the field of tim e and motion study and their daughter p enned the best seller "Cheap er by the Dozen.'' At noon, Wednesday, in Pickering 104 president Dave Compton called to order a regular meeting of the chapter and stressed the importance of active participation by all members in the chapter's m emb ership drive.

Teachers come in all t ypes - small, large, funny, boring, experienced, just-out-of-college, sadistic, and kind; but all have the same creed - to get as much work as possible as often as possible out of as many as possible, and to protest with ·o•s, their only weapon, when the student's natural inertia fails to produce. Prin cipals hire them, students tolerate them, mothers suspect them, and t enure of office protects them. A teacher is Mercy passing out final exams, Wisdom barreling through t he halls against traffic, Love handing out "Subtract three from 10 thousand," Interest saying "What are you doing in your locker now, son?"

Friday, January 9, 1959 A NEW YEAR MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS I extend to the faculty and to all at Wilkes College a joyous and happy New Year, and may God bless and protect everyone of us. To my fellow · freshmen - my sincerest wish that the new year will be the best that you have ever experienced. Let us continue to try to be the best class that Wilkes has yet produced.

But the Russians quickly pricked the newly inflated national ego with their pioneering moon shot coming only a few days after their announcement of an 8700 mile range missile. The Red Lunik passed within 4800 miles of the moon and speeds on into space to orbit around the sun for perhaps a million years . It is the first man made planet. In view of this, and its speed of 7 miles a second and 3425 pounds last stage of which 796 pounds are instruments, the New York Times calls the lunik "the greatest achievement of the Space Age." The Russians have again demonstrated that we are lagging disastrously behind . The Atlas sat ellite was a long step forward; it is the first satellite placed in orbit with the aid of ground radio guidance, and it has miniaturized radio equipment that can receive and broadcast messages. But the 8750 pound, 85 foot Air Force Atlas had only 150 pounds of instrument payload. It was a, simple one-stage rocket; the spent rocket itself was included in the orbited mass. The Russian Sputnik III of May, 1958, in comparison, weighed only 2925 pounds, but 2129 pounds of that was instruments. It is estimated the Russian missile technology is so f.ar advanced that the lunik had five times the thrust of onr lunar probes. Moreover, the Atlas' attained speed of 17,000 miles per hour even fell short of what our scientists had expected. The Atlas achieved an orbit only 118 to 625 miles out. Sputnik III orbits as 150 to 1168 miles. Although our allies were to som e ext ent re--assured, the rest of the newly missile-sophisticat ed world Admiral Harold R.

Either our technical shortcomings were fully appreciated or the President's. "Christmas message" did not impress. The first is undoubtedly true, but the second, if it is likewise the case, is more discouraging because it indicates that our pro-• testations of good will are no more believed than those of the Russians. Although I do not doubt the President's sincerity, I am inclined to agree that the m essage was a rather pretentious bit of hypocrisy. "I convey to you and to all mankind America's wish for peace on earth," corning from a military weapon fir ed as a device in the cold war seems somehow inconsistent with the principles associated with this time of year. The message, rather I think, pointed up our sanctimonious moral posturing. Either we ue morally consistent and adopt a true pacifist approach - an unfeasible position, or we are to openly take part in the struggle for world power and the control of the minds of men who do not even accept large portions of the American philosophy_ If we are to protect democracy we must, it seems to me, give up moral preaching in favor of simply presenting our society as a less regimented way to achieve social and economic ends. It is apparent that we face a year in which our technical lag becomes more crucial. Our leaders must dedicate themselves to pushing us on to r enewed efforts even if it costs us som e of our traditional comforts.

The swimmers will be starting their season against one of the best t eams in the Middle Atlantic Conferen~e. The Colonel team has been whipped into shape by Coach Russ Picton, whose by-word this year is conditioning. The Colonel t eam will be competing in their first match without the aid of a diving contingent. They ho pe to overcome this deficit with the aid of star swimmer Carl Havira. In last year's contest with Di(•k inso n, Carl was stopped short of copping three 5-point places by coming down with cramp s after leadinz the field until the final lap. The r est of the team shows more depth than last year's team. Last year's distance man, Bernie Wahalla, will be aided by sophomore prospect Jake Zook. Another returnee who compet ed in t he Middle Atlantic Tournament last year is letterman Pat Shovlin; he will be helped in the ba ~kstroke events by ovt by MqRGAN -~· , ~AVli;l, Sports _E~itor . ~ Try as we mi-ght, the 'only particularl y 1bright s pot that we can see on the Wilkes wintet· sport horizon continues to be the; m en o'f Coach John Reese's wrestling ·team. · At the beginning ·of t he year Coach Re ese, a renowned pessimist, Jet it be known that the two ·· roughest teams ne would fa ce were Hofstra and Franklin & •Marshall. The December 13 meet with the Dutchmen proved that our grand exalted head wrestling coach was gr atifyi ngly (26 to 5) wrong in his predictions. ' And we' do hope with ·every tiny fib er in our lusty bodies that he is wrong again in his gloomy predictions of the Franklin & Marshall meet. · ' Although the grapplers don't meet Hie ·Diplomats until February 18, we are going to stick our n ecks out just a little and predict that all the other meets before then will be warm-ups for the powerful Colonel grapplers. The Diplomats, coached by W. Roy Phillips, will be our first sojourn into big league EIWA conferen~e. The? have been known to beat such teams as Army and always mighty Princeton. I CAGERS There is an old saying that goes "if you have something good don'i; knock it," we prefer to call this "constructive criticism ." \Ve are speaking of the little people who get out on the hardwoods a few times a week and work up a sweat for the Blue and Gold. A 3-3 record is nothing to be asha med of; however, why do all of our wins happen on _the home court? There is. no use crying in our beer about past losses, but could there possibly be officials in the MAC lea gue who call de: i-1 sions to please the home crowds? One of our losses on the road was to a t eam that the Colonels should have beaten on a muddy ro ad, blindfolded. We think that the Colonels ought to try extra hard to win their next away gam e in 01:der to dissipate the enigma that shrouds some of our road losses.

This growing up process is common to nature and is the normal format followed by almost any type mammal -that flourishes. The thou ght has just crept into our mind that perhaps this growing up process might be compared to our young and developing swimming .,team. Growling and gnashing of t eeth have been heard from the high · places, proclaiming that if the splashers don't produce a better team this year, they had better hang up their trunks. - • The first team that our potential-packed t eam competes against this year is that of the mighty Red Devils from Dickinson. The Devils are h eavy pre-season selections to take the MAC crown in ·a walk. After Dickinson comes another mighty array from Bucknell.

As the student body journeyed hom eward for the holiday vacation , the Colonels also journeyed to Carlisle, Pa., to engage Dickinson in a Middle Atlantic Confer ence game. Jumping off to an early lead the men of Wilkes led at halftime, 43-39; however, Dickinson staged a hard fought, up-hill battle to overtake the Colonels and em erge as the victors by the score of 96 to 74 . The home team was paced by two former local area cagers, namely John Valenti of WilkesBarre and Joe Elinski of Nanticoke.
