They were accompanied by their coach, Dr. Arthur N. Kruger, Associate Professor of English and Director of Forensics at Wilkes. The Wilkes team qualified for the nationals by surviving the District 7 Elimination Tourney. Other District 7 representatives include Princeton, George Washington, Navy, and Penn. A total of 36 teams from all over the United States are vying for n at i on a 1 honors at West Point. Opening contests began yesterday morning. In keeping with the importance of the event, the National Tournament is the longest and most gruelling debate tournament in the country, calling for real endurance as well as skill. During Thursday and Friday each team debates eight times on the national collegiate debate topic of compulsory unionism, four affirmative and four negative, with st r en gt h being paired against strength after the second round. Tonight at the Tournament Banquet, held annuall y at Collum Hall, the top sixteen teams will be announced. Tomorrow eliminations w!ll continue for four more rounds, with one team finally emerging as the national champion. Automaticall y invited back to defend the crown it won last year will be Augustana College of Illinois. Wilkes entered t h e nationals with an impressive record of 37 wins and 6 losses, compiled in such tournaments as Johns Hopkins, Harvard, and Boston. At Boston Wilkes defeated three District representatives, Dartmouth, MIT, and Eastern Nazarene, as well as S Princeton, winner of this year's District 7 tourney. This year marks the fourth in the last five that Wilkes has won the distinction of competing at the Point. In 1955 the Wilkes t eam of James Neveras and J. Harold Flannery, Jr., placed second in the nation, dropping a 5-4 decision to Alabama in the twelfth and final round. Last year John Bucholtz and Jesse Choper of Wilkes placed ninth in the standings and second in team points. Neveras, Flannery, and Choper won watches for their outstanding performances, Choper placing third in the individual rankings last year. In preparation for their forthcoming test, Wilkes worked out on Sunday with the "Gniversity of Pennsylvania, the only other P ennsylvania team to qualify. The Penn team em ploys the same techniques and style of debating developed by Dr. Kruger. Both t eams have enjoyed great success this year, with P enn succeeding Wilkes as the winner of the Harvard Tournament.

George Schall, from Kingston, was elected Co-ordinator; Beverly Gates, from Hazleton, was elect ed Secretary; and Bob Dominick, from Plains Township, was elect ed Treasurer.

COLLEGE POUCY It is college policy that students at Wilkes take courses on campus and in the order prescribed by the catalog. When it is in the interest of :the student and the college, courses may be taken at other institutions. But in this contingency the student must obtain the consent of the graduation committee. Without this consent no credit will be allowed for work taken at other institutions, while the student is enrolled at Wilkes College.

It was a shame to notice the discourtesy of about thirty Wilkes students at the assembly last Tuesday. The aforementioned minority evidently did not share the enthusiasm for the singing of the Collegians that was shown by the rest of the students. Maybe they were just starving to death and wanted to get to lunch, but the rudeness they displayed by leaving before the end of the program is inexcusable. Perhaps the next time an assembly is held at the First Presbyterian Church the doors should be locked to prevent such an incongruous display of apathy before the public, and the performers. Perhaps the assembly period could be changed to one o'clock so that hunger does not dominate our manners. The Collegians are one of the finest singing groups in this area, and to insult their singing merely shows the students' lack of plain culture. A course in music or assembly manners might teach us when a program is over, what an encore is, and we might even learn the appropriate point at which to applaud; witness the time when the entire assembly burst into applause right in the middle of a solo being sung by one of the Warren Boy's Choir members. -MJK Stein-Lebowitz Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Lebowitz of 79 Beach Street, Wilkes-Barre, announce the engagement of their daughter, Evie Ann, to Jerome Stein, son of Mrs. Ida Stein Barish of Manhattan.

The score was an improvement, however, over the 17½-½ drubbing suffered last year at the hands of the same Scranton team. The encouraging weather of the past few days has made an even greater difference in the team. with grounds in more decent playing condition, the long drives are beginning to appear and the team seems ready for its exhibition match next week against the Wyoming Seminary team. After that meet, the fairway Colonels will have a rest of nearly two weeks. They hope to use that time in readying a good lineup for the hot-and-cold Lycoming Warriors who will invade the Irem course on May lO. Lycoming, in its last meet, lost to St. Francis, 12-6. Within six days of the Lycoming match, the Colonels will travel to Scranton, then host Moravian and Lycoming before the end of their s~hedule. At the end of the season Farrar hopes to send four men' to the Middle Atlantic Conferen~e Tournament, to be held at the American Legion Country Club in Mount l.Tnion.

FIRST CONFERENCE FOUNDED AT VASSAR The Twelfth Annual E a s t e r n Colleges Science Conference calendar, planned and arranged by a. · student committee headed by senior pre-medical student Barry Miller, will feature talks by several promi- · nent scientists, presentation of student research papers, tours of local industries, and social activities including a banquet, tea, and dance. From its beginning in 1947 at Vassar College, when 23 colleges attended, the annual conference has expanded through the years, with conventions being held at Seton Hall, Temple, and Georgetown Universities in recent years boasting enrollments of over 70 colleges. The twelfth annual conference, which commenced this morning, is being attended by approximately 550 s t u d en t s representing 77 eastern colleges and universities. The conference was founded at Vassar College to increase interest on the p a rt of undergraduate science students in the various aspects of research. A great deal of interest in the first conference prompted a Vassar committee to frame a constitution for the conference. The constitution was ratified at the second annual meeti11g at Union College ;n 1948. - LEWIS-DUNCAN Your SPALDING-RAWLINGS and WIU;ON Distributors Reversible Wool Jackets With WILKES Lettering LEWIS-DUNCAN SPORTING GOODS WHAT IS A FLAT-BOTTOMED CANOE?

A committee, headed by Les Weiner, attempted to refine the present constitution and include one major addition - a court of Appeals which "shall adjudicate decisions of the Student Government (note the change in name) upon formal application of appeal." Machinery for the working of the court was set up. The group was ,planned to include two faculty members, one member of the Administrative ,Council, and two m e mbers of the student body who are not Student Government Representatives. A major change in their proposed constitution was the requirement that class and Student Government elections be held in spring. At present, class elections are held in the fall, while the Council elections come in the spring. Another refinement was the explicit enumera, tion of the powers and procedures of the Student Government. The incumbent Student Council took up the proposed revision in toto and decided that further refinement could be made.

Redefinition of the purposes of the Student Government; 2. Better presentation of election procedures; 3. Refinement of the Court of Appeals; 4. Refinement of the amending ·procedure; .5. Refinement of the rules and regulations governing the procedures, powers and functions of the Student Government; .,6. Official adoption of Roberts' Rules of Order as the parliamentary authority; 7. Deletion of Appendix II from the present constitution. Appendix II covers policies governing the activities program, and was riot originally intended as a part of the constitution. The past s t u d e n t handbooks have included the student constitution as '' Appendix I" and the activities as "Appendix II." An oversight incorporated the handbook Appendix II as Appendix II of the student constitution. Since Appendix II contains policies which could not logically come within the jurisdiction of the Stu dent Government, it was necessary to make the proper deletions. The items in Appendix II which are considered within the power of the Student Government have been included in the new revision of the constitution, and the other policies were left to the administration. In a committee m eeting with the Administrative ouncil, Dr. ·F arley commented that the latest r evised constitution "is by far the simplest and most compl et e constitution" he has ever seen at ·wi lkes. Student Council has decided that the best method of ratification of the new constitution will be to pass out copies of it at fall semester registration, with voting on it by the student body when the class elections are held.

Letter to the Editor ••• ************************ Madam Editor: On behalf of the Wilkes College Chapter of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome our guests from other colleges to the 31st annual Mid-Atlantic Model United Nations General Assembly. I would like to thank all those people at Wilikes and from the other colleges who have labored hard to make this conference a success. Our local group would like to take this opportunity to thank all the students, faculty members, and friends of Wilkes who have volun,teered to provide housing for these delegations. We would also like to thank all those students who have volunteered to serve on the reception committee. TDR has been very helpful in preparing the faculty tea and the refreshments that will be served at Registration today. Our thanks go to them also. St. Stephen's Church has been kind enough to allow us to use their facilities for some of our committee sessions, and our caucuses. The First Presbyterian Church has aided us in this manner also. St. Mary's has provided us with aid that we cannot repay. Thanks to you three also. The Beacon, the Amnicola, and our Public Relations Office deserve our thanks, and our praise. Mrs. Stevens, PRO Director, has given me personal advice, and has contributed a great deal to the Assembly. Dr. Farley, and all of Wilkes College, has given us aid and encouragement. The local papers, radio and TV stations have been more than cooperative. More than anything, however, I should like to thank personally those people on the various committees who have served so well in their various capacities. Larry Groninger, Mary West, Lois Betner, Al Luster, Herman Feissner, Anna Marie "Wendy" Russo, Ann Curley, Lou Ella Meringolo, Mary Anchel, Dick Brayshaw, and the "Men of Warner Hall" deserve my personal thanks beyond the point that words will express, for their valuable suggestions and contributions. I hope that all of the delegates from the colleges and students from Wilkes will get as much from this conference as I have, Sincerely, Dave Vann, • Secretary-General * * * * * To All Seniors : I am sure that all seniors are well aware of the relatively short period of time remaining before graduation. The next two months are extremely important for the remaining activities of the Senior Class. Each senior, I am sure, feels some obligation to the support of the Class of '58, Wilkes College, and the class members themselves. The remaining two months of our college careers are going to be important for all three groups. In the next few Senior Class meetings there are going to be important decisions made concerning the use of funds which the Class of '58 has accumulated throughout its history of the college. Each senior should be concerned with the spending of these funds. Attendance and participation at the class meetings will insure each senior of an opportunity to voice his opinion concerning decisions of spending these funds. At the next meeting, April 10, 1958, there will be important decisions made concerning a class outing, a class gift, and graduation activities. If you want to be a part of the Class of '58, attend this and the following class meetings and be an active Senior. It will definitely be to your advantage. Don't forget you have an equal voice in all class decsions. Ron Tremayne, ~rsidef~58 P.S.-The April l~s~:eting will be held in Stark Hall, Room 119 at 11 :00 a.m. Bill Zdancewicz Busy Weekend "Mr. Chairman, may I have the floor?" - a phrase to be quoted many times this weekend by representatives at the Model General Assembly at our college. Truly worthy of written acclaim, we wish to welcome the visiting students from the Middle Atlantic region of the United States. May their visit prove enjoyable and interesting, both at the Model Assembly and in our community. What a Day!! Spring! Ah, sping! ... the time when a young man's fancy turns to love(?) . . . the time when robins sing . . . the time when flowers start their journey of beauty , , , etc., etc. · Who are we kidding? This year Spring wore a fur coat! Instead of the customary "spring fever" feeling, she gave us the "cold shoulder". As you apparently have realized, we are talking about the . snowstorm on the first day of spring - which actually began the night before. Can you picture a robin shoveling snow to get to the first worm? Or better yet - imagine his first song upon returning from the South - Baby, It's Cold Up Here! Let's get back to "spring fever". Without it we lose an acceptable excuse for cutting classes. Ha! . . . Fancy turns to love(?) Man, even with the snow, we were too busy turning toward exams!! _ Here's one for you though. Picture three young, dazzling coeds from T.D.R., dressed in the latest spring fashions, standing knee-deep in snow on the first day of spring. (Well, almost knee-deep!) A picture of Spring in all it's glory, the girls posed dramatically with their parasols . . . Rain? ·. Anyhow, the above bit of news is true. Three T.D.R. girls did stand in the snow in their spring fashions . . . for the photographer. The photo made the first page in a local newspaper and it was also accepted for distribution by the United Press. Best of all, their courageous deed proved quite appropriate in light of the fact that the T.D.R. Spring Fashion Show was held only six days later. An Important Role, For All To many, the staggering problems confronting the school systems of America seem out of our range. Yet, each of us has the opportunity to contribute to the good of everyone by doing something constructive to solve them. · In reviewing the present problems, we are reminded that one in every four Americans (some 43 million) are in public and private schools and in the next decade attendance is due to increase to 60 million. Also, there is a shortage of 135,000 teachers. Even more serious is the never-ending problem of seeing that every classroom provides the fulness of education for which it is established. Just how can we assist in reducing or eliminating the above problems? Six possible suggestions exist to help us: First, be more than a fault finder. Belittling the important service now being rendered by schools hurts far more than it helps. Focus attention on what's "right" with schools, giving credit where credit is due. Secondly, develop a respect for true learning among people. If they become satisfied with mere information rather than with intelligent thinking and sound judgment, they will be deprived of the complete maturity and well-rounded development to which they have a right. Third, realize and promote the primary function of schools,-c that of bringing out the latent power or talent implanted in every human being; to develop habits of study, hard work, self- discipline and self-reliance; training persons to think for themselves; fostering creative thinking; and preparing students to apply their education in a manner which will benefit themselves and their fellowman. Fourth, give teachers the support they deserve. Many of our graduates, and underclassmen, are planning on teaching careers. They too will seek the support, which in tum will help them to increase their effectiveness. Fifth, encourage persons with high ideals, enthusiasm and talent to dedicate themselves to a career of teaching. And last, along the line of number 5, don't sit home with your good ideas. Get them into circulation. Make your point of view known on all issues that involve the integrity and efficiency of the school. Rest Period??? At the bewitching hour of 5 p.m. on Tuesday, April 1 ... VACATION BEGINS. Vacation - according to Webster, is a scheduled period during which activity or work is suspended. Ahem! " This vacation being the Easter Season, students will celebrate the occasion by attending church of their choice and participating in various activities customary to their group or person. cOf course, amidst the activity, students will try once again to fulfill their individual promise to complete that tenn paper, or else! Not to look on the dim side of things, but, how many will be able to say (come a week next Wednesday) - "Finished at last."??? (Before you leave on Tuesday, be sure to attend the Ece>--=nomics Club raffle drawing to be held at 12:15 p.m. in back of Chase Hal!, In the event of rain, the drawing will be held in the cafetena lounge.)

The outfield is still not settled but it looks as though hard-hittin~ Ralph Hendershot will return to the center pasture. Last year, in his first at-bat, as a collegiate player, Ralph blasted a mighty 450-foot home run. He led the team in runs batted in and finished the season with a .315 batting average. The batterymen will all return for another year, led by southpaw hurler Eddie Birnbaum, whose slow "cute" offerings upset many ~ would-be slugger in 1957. Eddie does not have much of a fast ball but his " junk stuff" brought him ~ 5-2 record last year. His seven decisions made him the hands-down winner of the "Iron Man" title. John Harvey will return to 1·eceive the hurlers' offerings. Two sophomores, "Porky" Roats and George Gacha, make up the core of the returning mound staff. Hoats started slowly last year, but came to life in the warmer weather and turned in one sparkling threehitter with his left-handed offerings. Gacha, 5-9 stocky sophomore veteran, made his first appeaTance last year against Susquehanna U. and hurled a masterful five-hit shutout against the Crusaders. Gacha is also a valuable man at the plate and is regarded as one of the better-hitting pitchers in small college baseball. Some promising freshmen are working hard to unseat returning lettermen from varsity starting spots. Ray Kraynanski will try to take over behind the plate, where last season the strong-armed Harvey played brilliantly, nipping nine stealing attempts with his rifle arm. Mike Goobic at third has two competitors, one of them his own brother, Don. Walt Folek also hopes to see some action at third. · Don Berger and Bill Morris are both ·promising hurlers and pro'ba- -= bly will join Ray Yanchus as reI liefer s. Sophomore Lee Eckert, in his first attempt at college ball, seem s to be a good bet to earn a stai·ting pitching assignment. All possibilities hinge on one thing, however. If decent playing weather does not put in an appearance soon, lack of field practice may well cause the team to fall behind the training schedule. It was not definite at press time whether Gettysburg has been able to get its fi eld in playing condition. If the game is not played, the Colonels will have until April 12 to whip into shape. At that time they will start a busy week, playing five games within seven days beginning at Lycoming. They return for the first home game against Moravian on April 19.

UNFULFILLED OBLIGATIONS Again last Sunday night, the intramural bowling league suffered from lack of attendance after one week of good behavior. The causes of non-attendance fancied or real, are of no concern to the people who show up to bowl ~nd have their pleasure spoiled by the inconsiderat~on of others. If a person wishes to bowl on a team, he should also realize that he has committed himself. If he feels that he cannot be available every Sunday night, he shouldn't agree to participate in the first place. The rest of the faithful participants are annoyed, and in some cases damaged, by the failure of these f ew. Last week, a team whose members have been fairly regular all year found itself without players enough to bowl and lost by forf eit. The loss was costly as the team dropped to third place, possibly out of contention for second-place trophies. More important, however, is the fact that by failing to have at least five members of each of the six teams on hand every Sunday, we do not live up to our agreement with the JCC. This means that it is not just the bowlers who suffer, but the College's reputation as well. There are only two nights of bowling left in the Myers season, March 30 and April 13. It's not asking too much to expect that each team will have all of its members in attendance and ready to bowl at the appointed time, 7 :30 p.m. The Center has been very kind to give us p_ermiss~on to use t~e lanes· let's finish the season with 100% attendance m gratitude for then· kindn'ess. This could have a great deal of significance next year. We may find ourselves not welcome if we show ourselves unwilling to live up to reasonable obligations. SUGGESTIONS, ANYONE? For the second year, Wilkes has a tennis team to carry the Blue and Gold into intercollegiate competition, but they suffer from two major headaches - lack of coaching and lack of practice space. Ira Himmel is serving as manager-coach-player at present and would be pleased to have someone other than a member of the student body acting as coach. The second problem is more of an influential nature. Anyone who has knowledge of, and ability to get someone in authority who could put the Kirby Park courts back into playing condition is requested to see that person and help the team out. The tennis team, working hard under the handicap of poor weather Only one match was bowled in last Swiday night's intraand limited practice area, is pre- mural action, two matches were forfeited. In the sole contest, paring for its opening match with Paul Katz sparked the Teetotalers to a startling upset win over the Flying Dutchmen of Hofstra College. The match will be at the second-place Kampus Keglers. Katz had a resounding 224 home on Thursday, April 10th.

No one was asked to donate any money to the drive; instead, the group merely asked for volunteer donations of articles for which we have little or no use. Last week the Beacon published a partial list of materials which the hospital needs. To date, however, the students have shown very little interest. How can we consider ourselves future leaders if we do not understand how important it is that we help? We must remember that nothing can take the place of public awareness and understanding in mental hospital programs everywhere today. Through our small contributions to and through our interest in Retreat State Hospital we can help provide many of the patients with a step toward recovery by bringing jus a little cheer into their daily routines. Let's give it a try once again. . . . - jan by Fred Roberts A most telling argument against censorship was presented on campus last week. This, a film called The Dark River, has been banned, cut and condemned in most places where its showing has been attempted in the United States. Yet I feel that no open-minded viewer could honestly find it offensive to a reasonable sense of decency. There were those who went because rumor had it that it was "something" to see. And there were scenes of death, beatings, seduction, and two-in-a-bed sex, but they were presented in an honest, unsensational way. Some of the audience was, I am afraid, rather disappointed for the film, instead of being sexy was in many ways rather touching. -C ertainly it was raw and rough, but life if after all raw and rough too. Moreover the director handled these incidents with such pathos and fundamental morality that it would be difficult to claim that mature minds would be corrupted by seeing them on the screen. To assay the film more critically I must confess limited satisfaction because despite its stark, uncompromising realism and its technical soundness, the plot and character development seemed surprisingly unsophisticated - this of course might be called an advantage by some. In Its semi-documentary treatment of worker exploitation by cruel agents of capitalise, of the eventual freeing of the mistreated peasants after they had learned of the strength in union, and of the final retaliation against the "boss", the film smacked of Peronist propaganda especially in view of the fact that it is a product of Argentina. But despite these minor flaws, The Dark River merits the European awards it has received and more important does not deserve prohibition in this country. Its dubious reception in the United States points up the great evil of self-appointed keepers of the public morals deciding what we are to read, see and hear. The disadvantage, I think, of having someone else decide what should not be available for my perusal because it may be harmful to children or even to me, far outweighs the limited advantage such protection offers. Certainly a book such as Peyton Place approaches the limits of propriety, but it is much better to err on the side of liberality than on that of restriction. Therefore such agencies as the Legion of Decency, overzealous district attorneys and policemen, state censor boards, and even the U. S. Post Office should be kept within very narrow bounds. The Boss Has Spoken! On Finnegan's first day as a regular on the police force, the Lieutenant told him, "Finnegan, I'm giving you an easy beat to start with - just from the station house to that red light and back." Finnegan disappeared for two days. "Where the devil were you?" roared the Lieutenant. "Didn't I tell you your beat was just from here to that red light?" "You did," agreed Finnegan, "but that red light was on the back of a truck."

Future Managers View Life Cycle of a Pencil At Eberhard Faber Co. by Bill Zdancewicz Members of the Society for the Advancement of Management Club and their guests toured the Eberhard Faber Pencil Factory at Mountaintop last Thursday afternoon to view the manufacturing processes whic make up the veryday pencil. The tour began in the Lead Plant of Eberhard Faber with the raw materials of clay, graphite, and wood; and completed with the finished product - the pencil. A surprising bit of news which most persons fail to realize is that what we call "lead" in a pencil, actually isn't lead at all! The black pencil "lead" is a combination of clay and graphite, and the colored pencil "lead" consists primarily of wax. The making of black "lead" requires only 15 minutes, due to pressure used; whereas colored "lead" making requires several hours. The clay-graphite mixture, when compressed, is put into a crucible and heated to about 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Then the mixture is cooled and put into a pressure bath where the pores of the "lead" become impregnated, resulting in a smoother writing quality in the pencil. After the "lead" passes through compressors, it appears similar to spaghetti in long continuous strands. Then it passes through an extruding process which straightens the "lead" to the desired length. Though a majority of the work is done by machines in the pencil factory, some tasks still require manual labor. One of these proved interesting to the students - that of having women "iron" the colored "lead" to get it straight. The wood used in Eberhard Faber pencils is of a soft quality cedar which they get from Virginia and California. While in the wood area of the plant, the students were shown.the "lead" insertion process in pencil making. It began with the plain cedar wood, followed by the cutting of grooves, inserting the "lead", applying the top cover of wood, and finally applying pressure. This process is known as making a "pencil sandwich". After the "sandwich" is completed, it continues on to the cutting stage where the pencil begins to take shape. Another interesting process at the pencil factory is the sanding machine which sands six side of the pencil in one operation. The sanding belts are pitched at different degrees to accomplish this task. The next operation was the painting of the pencils in the Varnish Room. The red and blue marking p e n c i l s surprisingly enough are first painted blue and then they are dipped halfway into the red paint. The pencils painted a solid color pass through a machine , into a "paint pot", and when they come out they are almost completely dry. Folowing the lettering process, the erasers are put on the pencils. This latter process, five steps in all, is done by one machine. The pencils are then ready for packaging. Machine packaging, which puts the pencils in sleeves forming a box, completes 50 dozen in a minute. Manual packaging is also done, such as on special and/or small orders. The students also toured the metal plant, the design and engin eering section, and the pilot labora tory. The pilot lab is used for experimental formulations and new developments. Students attending the tour of the pencil factory were: Joe Leibman, Arnie Hoeflich, Myron Suseck, Peggy Kratz, Judy Weiss, Charlie Grymko, Jim Cornelius, Len Mulcahy, Carl Karmilowicz, Harold Shannon, Bob .Scally, Joan Rishkofsky, Marion Klawonn, Tom Lally, Charlie Jones, Herman Flissner, and Bill Zdancewicz. Bill Zdancewicz The Wilkes Jaycees repeat their request for assistance from , the student body in their gift campaign for the patients at Retreat State Hospital. As of this date, the campaign is one week old and very few articles have been contributed by the students. A misplacement of the boxes had occured earlier this week, but since then it has been straightened out. Moreover, a collection box was located in the cafeteria throughout this week and still just a minor amount of articles were contributed. This campaign is worthy of each student's attention because of the tremendous value each article donated possesses. The path of recovery for the patients at the Retreat State Hospital is · a long one and every little effort the people of a community put forth (including students) aids to make the path a little shorter or at least a little bit easier to bear. We are fortunate ones, not having suffered from mental illness, therefore, we should be thankful and willing to help those persons who suffer from this misfortune. Whenever individuals are asked to contribute to a worthy cause, it goes without saying that the person should do it from the bottom of his heart. The same is true for the Jaycees' campaign. Yet, the response received during the first week of their effort, shows a definite lack of cooperation and participation by the student body of Wilkes. As a result of recent publicity appearing in one of the local newspapers, several telephone calls were received from people within the community who stated that they wanted to contribute articles to the campaign. The students of Wilkes should keep the previous statement in mind when they are debating whether or not they should contribute. In addition to helping the patients at the Retreat State Hospital, students contributing articles to this campaign are also promoting the good will of their alma mater - Wilkes College. Each of us, whether we realize it or not, represent Wilkes both on and off the campus. What we do or fail to do in aiding to build good will is each student's responsibility. Repeating the request of the Wilkes Jaycees once again they wholeheartedly request the support of all stutents at the college to support their gift campaign for the patients at the Retreat State Hospital. (The poster in the cafeteria contains a list of suggested articles to donate; however, the Jaycees will accept any other articles which students wish to contribute to this worthy cause.) Nothing First! April Fool's Day may be eleven days away but we can't help but feel the well-known trickster custom has already arrived! We refer of course to the first prize being offered by the Economics Club in their April Fool's Drawing. NOTHING ... NOTHING! That is first prize - nothing! Undoubtedly the first prize has something to do with April 1st. Surely nothing will be something! The remaining prizes in the drawing are . . . something ... well worth winning! (Second prize, five dollars in cash; Third prize, Man's or Woman's Electric Shaver; and Fourth prize, G.E. or Westinghouse Radio.) . The Econ members have a good publicity angle with their drawing; however, we are looking forward to the list of winners . . . especially the first prize winner! Good luck on your chances. Long and Narrow Overheard in the Alumni Office: " ... And then there was the man whose cat was run over by a steam roller. He stood there with a long puss!" Alumni News Vincent P. Macri, a graduate of Wilkes College, Class of 'SO, has recently become affiliated with the general insurance firm of McNamara, Marcus and Co., in Pittston. Vince will specialize in life, accident and health insurance with the Pittston agency. Prior to his new position Vince had been with the Prudential Insurance Co. in Coatesville. While at Wilkes, Vince was editor of the Beacon for two years. Vince resides at 12 Columbus Ave., Wilkes-Barre, with his wife, the former Helen Scrippins of Wilkes-Barre Township. Vince is also a family man, two girls (Annette and Susan). Bravo! Bravo! Bouquets of congratulations go to the Cue 'n' Curtain drama group of Wilkes for the wonderful performances they gave in three one-act plays earlier this week. We attended the Tuesday evening performance and witnessed excellent acting and direction by students of the drama group. In Ways and Means Neshama Rosenbaum had difficulty making the venetian blind stay in place. However, she filled in with dialogue superbly, just like the trooper she is. Sandra Ungar who played Hulda in The Unseen, stole the show with her fine performance of the inexperienced maid. Her easy-going, true to life acting of a foreign maid captured the audience with laughter. The Cask of Amantillado offered a contrast of acting to the two comedies preceding it. All in all, the three plays provided an entertaining evening to the students, faculty, and public in attendance. 0 �WJLm3 COLLEGE BF.AeoN - Ftiday, March 21, 1958 MODEL GENERAL ASSEMBLY NEXT WEEK Harold E. Stassen and Daniel Flood to Speak _ _ At Plenary Sessions Friday and Saturday; 48 Colleges and Universities Will Attend by Mary Louise Onufer Harold E. Stassen and ' Congressman Daniel Flood will be the guest speakers at the plenary sessions of the model general assembly which the Wilkes Chapter of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations will sponsor next weekend. Stassen is a former governor of Minnesota, special assistant to the President, and U. S. representative, on the , Disarmament Commission of the United Nations. He will address the first plenary session on Friday evening, March 28, beginning at seven o'clook. He will speak to the collegiate group on disarmament. Saturday afternoon's p le n a r y session will feature Congressman Daniel Flood, Democrat representative for the 11th Congressional District of Pennsylvania. The title of Congressman Flood's speech was not known at the time of publication but it will concern some matter of international significance. Wilkes College will host approximately 500 college students from over 48 colleges and universities throughout the Middle Atlantic region of the United States. These students will form a model general assembly patterned after the international body in New York City. Each school will participate as an individual country and will offer resolutions and enter debate with the welfare of that particular country ih mind. Wiikes will represent Ghana and the delegation headed by Don Murray has been giving special consideration to the problems of the newly-formed west African state. Besides getting first-hand information and advice from Seth Ansah, Wilkes junior who is a native of the Gold Coast, which is now ineluded in Ghana, the delegates have been in correspondence with the Embassy of Ghana and its representatives to the United Nations. The delegation has also gathered all of the material about this country which was discussed at last year's mock assembly held at Princeton. Last year Wilkes represented Morocco and was equally fortunate in having the advice of Henriette Abenmoha, Wilkes senior who is a native of that country. An award will be given at the PROGRAM OFFERED FOR STUDY ABROAD - The Institute of International Education announced that American students will be given added opportunities to study in Ireland during the 1958-59 school term. The opportunities are a result of a new bi-national educational exchange program between Ireland and the United States. The a w a r d s for pre-doctoral study and research in Eire cover international travel, tuition, books, and maintenance for the academic year. Basic requirements are a United States citizenship, a college degree or its equivalent by the time the award is made, and good health. Preference is given •t o applicants under thirty-five years of age. Applications must be submitted to the Institute no later than April 16. Any additional information may be obtained from the Institute of International Education in New York City. -----------end of the conference to the college which best represents its model country. The ·a ward was won by St. Paul's, who represented Russia, last year. Members of the Wilkes delegation are Francine Bishop, Mary Homan, Judy Richardson, Cliff Kobland, Bob Amey, and Bill Duffy. The final plenary session will be held Sunday, March 30 from 8 to 10 a.m. Then all final resolutions and decisions of the assembly will be passed. Next year's officers will also be elected at this session. Besides the three plenary sessions, delegates will be busy attending special conferences and planning material for debate on the assembly floor. A dance will be held Saturday evening from 9 to 12 in the gym. All delegates and Wilkes students and dates are i n v it e d free of charge. The plenary sessions are also open to the public. DEBATE TEAM ENTERS DISTRICT VII TOURNEY - Who needs money? Okay, don't jump down our throats, we haven't any dough to hand out, but the Mennen Company has. Mennen accountants have found a surplus of cash in an old safe and they have decided to spread it around among poor, broke college students on 300 campuses around the country. All they want is an ad, written in an historical vein, that tells the public about their products. Sound easy? It is, friend, it is. Any WC student who has taken History 101 or World Lit can write an ad centered around a myth or historical event. The ad is really a story in which some Mennen product is featured. Humor is the prime objective. Mennen will publish as many entries as they can. The ads should be about 200 words and the prize for first place is $500. Additional prizes of $250 and $100 will also be given. The title of the ad is "There'll Always Be a Playboy" and all entries must be postmarked no later than midnight, May 5, 1958. Entry blanks can be obtained from any store carrying Mennen Products for Men. An added prize will be given on each campus. The most original and humorous entry from Wilkes will get the writer a year's subscription to Playboy Magazine. More details can be obtained at the Beacon office. by Marion J.

This, too, is definitely out. The most popular excuse (We should say "reason"-excuse has a bad flavor) is a new one, namely, "campus-laziness". This is far better than saying boredom, which is insulting to say the least. Laziness, however, is not an overly flattering excuse to give to any self-respecting teacher; after all, he showed up. So, it all boils down to a, science of dragging yourself out of bed, and giving your favorite prof a chance to lecture into (quote Mr. Elliot) "yawning mouths and glassy eyes."

One unique situation involved in cutting a class is that you always manage to meet the neglected prof on your way to your next class. The only solution to this is to cut your next class too. That way you have a good excuse not to go to any classes all day. The whole thing then turns into a viscious circle and you wish that you had not come to school at all. What to do while cutting is never a problem. Hundreds of hiding co-cutters can be found dodging behind the posts in the upstairs of the Commons, join them.

Pinky is presently a coach and faculty member of the Clarks Summit High SchooL . Other important announcements were the awards to individual athletes and the naming of captains for the teams for the coming seasons. Ron Rescigno, spectacular gridiron ace, walked off with the lion's share of the awards. He received the Howard W. Davis award as the Outstanding Athlete during th e 1957-58 sports year, the Joe GalJagher award for sportsmanship and overall contributions to Wilkes athletics, and was voted the Outstanding Back of the grid squad.

NEW GOLF COACH HOLDS DRILLS AT 'Y' Mr. Welton Farrar has taken over the coaching chores for the 1958 golf team. Coach Farrar started his charges working on indoor practice swings Tuesday afternoon at the local YMCA. The team has had fourteen candidates to date, but some of last year's squad have yet to make an appearance. Farrar is looking for Art Belles, one of last season's standout performers, and he will have to be without the services of Dave Polley, who has decided to take up tennis this year. Returning from last year's team are ·P ete Perog and Ed Mikalaitis. They have been cheered by the appearance of a few promising new men, freshman veteran Joe Hiznay, and sophomores Pete McLaughlin and Bob Morris. First match for the "Duffers" will be at home on April 12 at the Irem Temple Country Club g:reens. The opposition will be Hofstra's Flying Dutchmen. The Colonels will have home-andhome matches with Scranton and Lycoming later in the season, a single match at Moravian, and at the season's end will participate in the annual Middle Atlantic Conference tournament to be held at Juniata College, Huntingdon, Pa. Any man on campus interested in participating in this sport is urged to see Mr. Farrar in his office any time, or to report at the YMCA at 3:30 p.m. with woods.

As this was my first experience and his wife were broke. Well, Flashing through the unknown in a slim silver bullet - the rocketship X-15 - Scott Crossfield will mbark on a stranger-than-fiction adventure which will carry him six times higher than Man has ever reached before. His speeds will range up to 5,000 miles per hour. Crossfield's flight will start seven miles up, from the comfortable belly of a converted B-36 or B-52 ,bomber. A slight pressure from his thumb will send his rocket belching forth from its nesting!J)lace on a g eyser of flame. Within seconds, he will plunge past the altitude record of 126,000 feet set by Capt. Ivan Kincheloe in 1956, into a void that has ne ver been reached. His tremendous speed at this point will render his instruments unreliable, for they will show what happened two mile~ back. It is here that he will probably run into his greatest threat, and the obJ'= ~~ t1·ve of h1's h1'stor1·c fl1'ghtthe controllability barrier.

Here h is plane could be hurled into a supersonic maelstrom that might shake it out of control like a child's kite in a tornado. Once through this barrier _ if he g ets through _ Crossfield will find his fuel gone. But his inertia will hurl him many miles furth er into the ionosphere, that blue-black void tha t stretches from 50 to 250 miles above the earth. After he has reached the top of his macro cosmic arc, Crossfield will still fa ce the problem of getting back to earth without burning up like a met eor when he r e-enters the ea rth's atmosphere. The painstaking prepa rations for a chieving this will have put his cha nce fo r sur vival at a n estimated 94 percent. -Reder's Digest, April, 1958. ------"CINDY" TO BE FORMAL Th l e f Student th f Council th · announced c· d P ans or e or commg m er9 ella Ball to be held May · The nd affair t will be ·b ·formal da t arrangebl men 5 are emg ma e O ena e th e st udent body to r ent white dress coats a nd purchase corsages at group prices.

On with the story. Well, dear r eader s, I had the most exasperating time wanderin g around the back yards of South River Street for hours looking for the theatre - I didn't see nothing that looked like a ticket window or popcorn machine - suddenly, however, by divine inspiration or something, I found my destination. As I entered the theatre and tumbled down the aisle on all threes, s om e most impertinent young man handed me a sheet (of paper). I grasped it eagerly, and to my distress, I found, attached to the bottom of it, a quiz - don't these professors ever g ive up? After assuming an up1·1'g ht pos1·tion, on further r eading, I found that it was only a crit-EEK of the three intense drame1·s. The theatre was packed ... as a hushed reference came over the multitude when the lights dimmed, I was quite touched (by a feather on a hat of a frau in m y imm ediate posterior). Having detached the source of my trouble, I prepared to enjoy the play. As the drapes parted, I saw - my goodness , that is, yes, a young maiden and gentleman in bed (a perfectly innocent scene ) - will som eone PLEASE turn on .the lights in this theatre so I can make a quick egzit? Since no one around me was disturbed by this perfectly owtrocious scene, I proceeded to look at the play, once I had returned all of m y contact lenses to their res pective stations. The play continued, and as the bedding and plot unfolded, it seemed like this her e gentleman who wouldn't be if he stayed in bed ALL the time? Anyway, as the play -p rogressed, I suspected foul play when I saw a masked gunman appear on stage, holding up the bed-1·idden coup I e. The couple made a bargain with him they told him who to rob, and for their info, he agreed to split the spoils with them - WHAT a trick. I thought that this was simply too much, but was glad to see that the play had a mo ral ending. It proved once again to m e that "crime does not pay when mor e than one per son is involved." The second play was a failure a nd succ ess story entitled The Unseen. The villain was the maid (the bourgeois couple didn't even have a butler), whom I'm sure must have just come on the last boat from Inner Herzegovena. The heart of the audience went out to the poor g irl because of the order s and abuses she had thrust upon her by a couple who read blueprints at the breakfast table. Well, my eager readers, the last play was on its way. It was The Cask of Amontillado, known to millions a s "I Was Plastered in a Roman Wine Cellar." Of course this play was of a more sober nature than its predecessors. Why, in it, some poor gentleman was buried alive in a Roman catacomb by a vindictive so-and-soforth. A most appropriate tune to offset the tragedy would have been "Arrivederci Roma!" I tried to g rip the edge of my seat during this final thriller, and to my utter amazement, I found I had been sitting on the floor the entire evening . But that ain't the worst thing that happened - some defens eless young gentlema n in left orchestra, row one, was hit by SELECTIVE SERVICE EXAM ANNOUNCED FOR STUDENTS Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, director of Selective Service, announced that only one Selective Service College Qualification Test will be offered this year. This will be held on May 1, 1958.

The traditional sale will begin at 9:30 and continue until 5:30 or until sell-out. Everything from cake to candy will be sold by sorority members in the fifth floor booth. Since all the goodies are home-made, a grea.t rush of business is expected and Sandra Ungar, general chairman, has urged all members to help sell. Any member who has some spare I time on Saturday, can drop up and lend a hand. In the past, the TDR bake sales have been successful in reaching their goal. The main goal again this year is to add to the scholarship fund. Each year the sorority grants a partial scholarship to some deserving girl and the money for this grant comes from activities such as the bake sale. The bake sale depends on the donations of the sorority members. Although the mothers of sorority members usually do the cooking, it takes a few hints from the girls themselves to prom o t e a little extracurricular cooking. While the sorority members have been recruiting cooks, they also have been telling grandmothers, aunts and neighbors about the sale so a large representation of town people is expected. Working with Miss Ungar are several committee chairmen who are in charge of seeing that a large variety of baked goods are on hand. These chairmen are: Jozia Mieszkowski, cakes; Vicki Kovacks, bread and rolls; Mary Ellen Zwiebel, cupcakes; Virginia Margavitch, candy; Peggy Kratz, pies; and Lynn Boyle, cookies.

The Center has many bona-fide members who would like to bowl on Sunday nights, but cannot because the college people have been allotted the time. The generous consideration given Wilkes bowlers has been repayed with thoughtless and unnecessary inconsideration by a handful of students. Two teams have failed to appear on schedule for the past three weeks, a violation of the league's agreement to post six teams of five bowlers each on the alleys every week. This shameful behavior must not be repeated. If Sunday night's games are not fully attended by each team, the league will be disbanded immediately. It would be a pity to see the pleasure of the majority spoiled by a thoughtless few. Team captains and bowlers take note and act accordingly. - RJM by Fred Roberts In the last few weeks the longest major strike in American labor history has achieved a renewed and deserved importance in the public press as a part of a larger controversy. The Senate management-labor sub-committee has at the continually prodding of Barry Goldwater et al begun its probe of Walter Reuther, his United Auto Workers and especially its 45 month Kohler strike. Since it is for Goldwater and Reuther the final showdown of right wing versus left wing labor philosophies, conservatives did not want to give the articulate Reuther a chance to speak at the opening hearings. Chairman McClelland had originally accepted a staff recommendation that the hearings on the strike open with comprehensive statements by a company spokesman and then by Reuther. But the Republican committee m e m b e r s fought Reuther's early appearance fearing his ability to easily sway his listeners, and M c C 1 e 11 a n d yielded to break the deadlock. The Republicans wanted the staff to build a background of violence, vandalism, and boycott b e fore Reuther's appearance - this with some justification in view of the, precedent established in previous labor hearings. The evidence developed, to no one's surprise, applies to both sides a rather tarry brush, but it serves also to point up the larger context of the struggle at the Kohler plant in Wisconsin. There in a "model village" live 1,800 persons representing largely the supervisory personnel. In nearby Sheboygan lives the rank and file of about 4200. These two groups were early and totally caught up in the struggle between ardent unionists and pro-management employees. Historically the company's relations with labor have been bitter. In the early 1930's the plant was organized by an A.F.L. union, but in 1934 this union was broken in an unsuccessful strike. Kohler then embarked upon a policy of paternalism as a solution to his labor problems. He built his company town and formed a company union. But its membership went over almost in a body to the UAW which organized the plant in 1952. In 1954 the UAW called the workers out over the company's refusal to renew the union contract which called for discharge arbitration and adequate protection from silicosis. That strike continues today at a cost to the union of over $10,000,000; to the employer of serious business damage, and in the face of divided families and friendships. At the start there was mass picketing which closed down the plant, but after two months, mass picketing was banned by court order and the plant reopened. This brought recurrent waves of violence-clashes with company police, vandalism of homes and property of strikers and non-strikers alike, and disgusting beatings. The UAW will settle if the company agrees to preferential rehiring of strikers and arbitration of disputes. Additional pressure has been put on the company by an NL~B examiner's finding of Kohler guilt of unfair labor practices. But, Herbert Kohler, unreconstructed employer of the old school, maintains the union is guilty of unlawful coercion by violence and unfair boycotting, and he refuses to meet UAW demands. It is undoubtedly true that the union has committed more than its share of abuses, and that it is using nationwide pressure on purchasers of Kohler plumbing fixtures, but WILKES COLLEGE BEACON A newspaper published each week of the regular school year by and for the students of Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

Friday, March 14, 1958 BIOLOGICAL SOCIETY TO HEAR UROLOGIST March 19, Dr. William J. Daw, Director of the Department of Urology at the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital, will address the Wilkes Biological Society. His topic will be "Infections of the Kidney." The lecture will emphasize the prevalence and importance of kidney infections in everyday life. Since the advent of antibiotics, this problem has become more important since many of the organisms have become drug resistent. Problems to be considered from a biological standpoint will be the recognition of the infection and methods of diagnosis that can be carried on in a biological laboratory. Methods of treatment and progress of such cases wil be lightly discussed. Dr. Daw also plans a research program at the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital on kidney infections and hopes to carry this further with the co-operation of the Wilkes College Department of Biology especially concerned with the field of bacteriology. This program will be an extensive study of the causes of persistent and recurrent kidney infections. The purpose of such a research project will be to enable students interested in the field of bacteriology to work in conjunction with a hospital project. Dr. Daw received his BA and MD degrees at the University of Pennsylvania. He is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and a Diplomat of the American Board of Urology. The Wilkes Biological Society extends a cordial invitation to anyone interested in hearing Dr. Daw's presentation. The lecture which will begin at 7 :30 will be presented in Room 116 of the Stark Science Building. CITY SCHOOL CLUB HOSTS ED. MAJORS The members of the Education Club were recently the guests of the Coughlin High School Education Club at an installation tea held at Coughlin. Margaret Jones, president of the Wilkes Education Club, conducted the services for the newly elected Coughlin officers. A short program was given which included a piano solo, a vocal solo, and a short speech by Mr. Francis Truscott, principal of Coughlin. Wilkes students attending the tea were: Margaret Jones, Evelyn Lebowitz, Beverly Nagle, Barbara Bachman, Nancy Boehm, and Joan Llewellyn. An invitation was extended to the Coughlin Club to attend a social meeting of the Wilkes Club on Tuesday, March 18. Beth Reed, chairman of the entertainment committee, has planned an interesting program. All members and prospective members of the Education Club are urged to come to this event for a most enjoyable evening. "Mommy, why is it that Daddy doesn't have much hair?" "He thinks a great deal, dear." "But, Mommy, why is it that you have so much hair?" "Finish your breakfast, Dear." the weapons unions have are limited and, taken individually, relatively weak; moreover, it seems to me that there is little question where the final blame lies. Kohler in refusing to accept the representation of his workers by a strong u n i o n precipitated the strike, and he has perpetuated it by continually refusing to arbitrate. The UAW has even recently suggested that federal arbitration, perhaps by the Senate subcommittee itself, 'be attempted. But, Kohler again refused. The current hearings will, it is hoped, force a reasonable conclusion to this most unfortunate strike, but it is certain that the UAW wil come out certified as militant and politically inclined but completely uncorrupted because with the Kohler strike, Mr. Goldwater has shot his biggest bolt and missed the mark. Bill Zdancewicz For What It's Worth! Are you tired of getting C's??? Do you want to get better grades and still enjoy an active social life??? Well ... the first thing to do is analyze your study habits. You may be going about the task the wrong way. Why burn the midnight oil in cramming for an exam? We do not promote that you should go to a movie the night before an exam; however, that's not a bad suggestion either. What we do suggest is that students formulate a study plan - r ·· that will really work. We recently noticed a booklet at the college bookst, which should aid students in setting up a method of studyir. The booklet is How to Study and it is compiled by the Johm Hopkins University. How to Study contains practical pointers and rules for studying, as well as tips on taking notes and examinations. Specific directions and techniques are offered in addition to examples showing what works and what doesn't work. We believe this booklet may aid students to see the forest from the trees. Ready to Go The recent Asian Book Drive was a big success according to a report from Mrs. Nada Vujica, librarian at the college. Approximately one hundred books and magazines were collected. These books and magazines will now be mailed to the Asian Drive headquarters in San Francisco. We wish to compliment the students for their cooperation in the Drive and also, our compliments to the faculty committee members in charge of the collection - Mrs. Gertrude Doane, dean of women; Miss Millie Gittins, and Mrs. Nada Vujica. It All Depends! The young man in the store was embarrassed. He said haltingly: "I am supposed to buy either a casserole or camisole, can't remember which." "That's easy," said the salesman. "Is the chicken dead or alive?" Coming Up Tomorrow evening, Saturday, March 15, the Faculty Women of Wilkes will sponsor a covered dish supper in the college Commons. All faculty members are invited to attend. Coffee Hour -The Wilkes Faculty Women will sponsor a Coffee Hour on Tuesday, March 18, from 3 to 5 in the Commons. Students and faculty members are invited to attend this informal get-together next Tuesday. Chairman of the affair will be Mrs. Gertrude Doane. Nothing Was Said Patrick and his wife had always wanted a ride in a plane, but the price of $20 seemed too high for them. At the airport, the amused pilot offered Pat a proposition. If Pat and his wife would ride for an hour without talking, the pilot would charge them only $5. Pat thought this was a fair proposal and he and his wife climbed into the plane. Throughout the trip, they didn't utter a word. The flight included looping the loop, riding upside down, and going through dizzy dives and tailspins. 'Tve got to hand it to you, Pat" said the pilot. "It took guts to go through all that without uttering a word." "Aye," said Pat, mopping his brow with his handkerchief. "But ya'll never know how close I came to talkin' when the wife fell out." Note of Thanks The following letter was received on Monday by the Senior Class of Wilkes College (It pertains to their annual Beard Dance): Dear Friends: I was indeed glad to receive your very kind letter of tha 21st, and you can be sure I was most happy to be able to help. Here's to bigger and better mustaches! Sincerely yours, DANIEL J. FLOOD, M. C. Still Going Strong! We are pleased to mention that many students are still contributing their pledges to the Wilkes Development Program. Pledge cards are available in the college bookstore and students wishing to contribute may see Millie Gittins for a card.

The outlook for the coming season, according to Mr. Reese, should be considered at about the same level as last year. Three key men were lost, Bob Sokol, Bob McGurring and Minnie Minarski, but replacements in the form of freshman infielder Ron Palazzi and ripening sophomores from last year's successful squad should make up the difference.

He hit on 15 field goals and 5 fouls to finish his fin al collegiate game with 35 points. This last big game enabled George to finish the season with better than 24 points per game average. His scoring record here at Wilkes stands at nearly 900 for the past two seasons. This gives him over 22 points per game average during this same period. A senior, George is majoring in business administration.

BAUM'S �'WII.KFS COLLEGE BEACON 4 BOY CHOIR PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS ASSEMBLY by Toni Scureman . Tuesday morning the student body was entertained by the delightful singing of the Warren Boy Choir of Warren, Pennsylvania. One of the especially charming features of the school boys' perform~nce was _their obvious enjoyment in singing. Their red choir robes with gold sashes and the less formal short s u it s were reminiscent of the German boys' choir for which that nation is famous. One of the highlights of the program was the "Echo Song" with three boys, in the back of the gym, providing the echo. "He was despised", a selection from Handel's Messiah, was sung by an alto soloist. One twelve-year-old soloist rendered an expressive version of the spiritual, "Water Boy". The program also included two numbers by Palestrina, "Ascendit Deus" and "·0 Bone Jesu", "Bist du bei mir" and "Break Forth, 0 Beauteous Heav'nly Light", both by Bach. For the rest of the program , which was in a lighter vein, the boys, in a change of costume, sang "Echo Song" by di Lasso, "Galway Piper", an Irish air, a lullaby 'by Mozart, and "Birth of the Blues". Ten years ago, a group of ten boys decided to form the choir and asked Mr. Byron Swanson, the present director, to lead the new organization. Eventuall y the choir consisted of fifty boys, ranging from nine to twelve yea rs of a ge. The boys are trained at the Conservatory of Music in Warren, of which Mr. Swanson is director. In 1956 the choir appeared at Town Hall in New York City before an audience which included four of New York's leading critics from the New York Times, the Herald Tribune, the New York ·world Telegram, and the trade magazine, Musical America. \Vithout exception the critics applauded the choir's performance and described it with such phrases as "superbly schooled" and "incredible perfection".

Looking Ahead In their first year of Conference participation, the Colonels -turned in a noble performance with a 9-2 record, losing to a powerful Scranton quintet in playoffs for the Conference title. Morgan and Birnbaum will be missing from next year's edition of the basketball team, but the showing of the bench this year indicates that there are a few men returning to ta.kc up the slack. Hopes are high that the steady improvement over the years since Davis began coaching wil continue and that next season's conference activity will be dominated by the Wilkesmen.

Some of the larger schools participating in the assembly are Penn State University, West Point, University of Pennsylvania, Notre Dame of Maryland, Barnard, Ly- coming, Loyola, and Princeton, last year's host school. The purpose of the model general assembly is to enlighten the students in the field of international relations and to acquaint them with the mechanics of the functioning of the United Nations. Wilkes, at this assembly, will represent the state of Ghana. Don Murray will head the delegation and will be assisted by committee members Francine Bishop, Mary Homan, Judy Richardson, Cliff Kobland, Bob Amey, and Bill Duffy. Seth Ansah, a WHkes junior who is a native of Ghana, will act as advisor to the group. Ghana is a newly-formed state in western Africa. Participating members will devote most of their time during this weekend to attending plenary sessions, which are attended by the whole group or special committee conferences. The general conferences will begin Friday afternoon, March 28, from one to five with registration of members. At 7, after dinner in The Commons, the group will attend a plenary session in the gym. There, Dr. Farley will wecome the delegates and introduce officers of the model United Nations Assembly. Overall procedure will also be explained. Guest speaker at (continued on page 3) Concluding two days of top-notch wrestling thrills, Wilkes provided an anticlimactic thrill when they produced three champions in th~ finals of the Middle Atlantic Conference wrestling tournament before nearly 1,600 fans at the Wilkes gym on Saturday night. When the final tabulations were made, the obvious was official-the Colonels had retained their championship, becoming the first to win twice in succession and shattering the tarn point total record with 74. The West Chester Rams, with 46, finished second, and last year's runnersup, Muhlenburg, dropped to third with 31. The Colonels also pulled an unusual trick by placing. every man in contention for one of the top four slots in each -weight class Three Seniors Snare Titles The Colonels had virtually sewn up the tourney by the time the semi-final rounds were completed and went into the finals assured of victory even if all of the eight men lost. Unfortunately, some of them did lose, but Bobby Morgan, Jim Ward, and Dave Thomas each capped perfect seasons with titles in their respective weight classes. Morgan, at 123 pounds, took a 6-4 win over Swarthmore's Jim Mehan in a good bout. Bobby entered the finals by turning in a fall over Mike Schultz of West Chester in 8:10 of the semi-final bout. Colonel co-captain Jim Ward became the second local champ when he took the meas\lre of Harry Romig, Lycoming, 6-2, in the 137pound final event. Ward led comfortably throughout the bout and looked impressive in the win. He had rougher going, however, in the semi-finals, edging Barry Kunkel of Gettysburg in a 3-1 overtime bout. Jim's deliberate, cautious style of wrestling cost him a point when the referee called him for stalling_ in that bout, forcing the match mto two two-minute extra periods. Dave Thom as, 157-pound cocaptain, won the final gold medal for Wilkes with a 6-2 decision over Jack Prutzman of Ursinus. Prutz~a1: had drawn a bye in the prehmmary rounds, then decisioned Delaware's Earle Simpson, 5-0. He won on a forfeit over West Chester's Bob Davis, thus entered the final round fairly fresh. The bout was the fourth of the tourney for Thomas, but he showed that he deserved ~he championship when he turned m a masterful job on the Bears' hopeful and won decisively. Two Finish Second Two Wilkes finalists suffered defeats. Marv Antinnes lost to undefeated Dave Murdock who led the Bucknell Bisons to their first per~ect record in the past -season. Antmnes was unable to work his u~ual smooth escapes and found himself bottled up completely in a 3-0 shutout. Walt Glogowski lost to West Chester's Ken Campbell on a fall in 3 :54. That he lost t~ one of the best is evident in the poll taken after the tourney. In that poll, the coaches and officials voted Campbell the recipient of the Outstanding Wrestler trophy.

At Last With the installation of the new switchboard in Chase Hall, the Beacon now has an outside line all during the day and night. This privilege is one that is greatly appreciated by the entire staff. Many times we have had to wait past the Tuesday deadline in order to check something so we could be sure of the facts. Now we can call committee chairmen or faculty directors in the evening and get the information. This new service will make things easier for us in many other ways, so a carload of thanks to all those who made the new switchboard possible. -mjk SOVIET EDUCATIONAL MACHINE DISCUSSED BY JOHN GUNTHER The average twelfth-grade Russian student has a better scientific education than most American college graduates.

Our sincere congratulations to the Wilkes wrestling Colonels who are now Champs of the Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Tournament for the second year in a row. Their performance last weekend brought great honors to the school and to the · wrestlers themselves. To those students who failed to attend the tournament. our words of praise may seem overdone. However, we are certain that the students who attended the matches will support our praise to the excellent job done by our boys. Despite competition from fifteen colleges and universities, our Colonels retained the championship title. More significant, all eight of our entrants placed in the final running of the tournament. which is a unique event itseli Our best of luck and congratulations first to the wrestlers graduating in June-Dave Thomas, Bob Morgan, Keith Williams, and Jim Ward; and to the Colonels who will defend the title next year-Joe Morgan, Walt Glogowski, Marv Antinnes, and Bob Sislian. To all eight wrestlers ... thanks for a job well done! Confucius No Say ... When man works like a horse, everybody ride him. . .. Little sugar plum today sometimes sour grapes tomorrow. ...

In all organizations, clubs, and groups, there exists a tendency to lose sight of objectives, to get bogged down in trivialities, and to let the running of the club slip by default into the hands of those who may not be representative of the membership. Whose fault is it? Before shifting the blame on someone else, each student should analyze himself. What do we mean? Well, we certainly agree that for any Club or organization to function properly, something known as cooperation is needed. The same is true in campus activities. Before joining a Club, the student should decide for himself whether or not the purpose of the Club merits his interest. Once he joins, he should take a conscientious and active interest in furthering the objectives of the Club. As a member of a Club, the student should live up to his obligations and become more than a "joiner". Don't just join a club and become driftwood; voice your opinions, stress facts and ideas. Don't just plan on paper but carry out the plans of the Club. Remember, what Club members do, or fail to do, can help or hurt the organization. by Bill Zdancewicz All students should strive to become active, responsible Mr. Glyn Rhys, personnel and members of campus organizations attending meetings regularly, industrial relations manager of Eberhard Faber Pencil Company, taking part in the proceedings, learning the principles of Paraddressed the Wilkes Economics liamentary law, volunteering for committees, getting fellow Club yesterday in Pickering Hall. classmates to become active members, and most of all-workHis topic was "What .the Personnel ing for the best interests of the entire membership and not a Man Is Looking for in an Appli- select few. cant."

In the meantime, the college thespians are working on the three one-act plays which will be presented on March 17, 18 and 19. Final casting has been completed and rehearsals are moving along according to schedule. Gene Stickler and Judy Richardson will portray Jeffrey and Lois Baldwin in the Unseen, which will be directed by Steve Cooney. Sandy Unger will also have a part in the Unseen, she will take the part of the maid. Robert Stevens and Nashama Rosenbaum will play the leads of husband _and wife in Ways and Means, dU"ected by Steve Poleskie. Others in the cast of this comedy include: Robert Evans, Frank Pinola, Jr., Charles Slease, Audrey Bartlett, Mike Melchior and Helene Sxymaszels. The Cask of Amantillado will have Fred Malkemes in the lead role of Fortinado. Ginny Lyons, Lanna Planitzer and Mary Lou Bender make up the rest of the cast. The backstage committee, headed by Paul Abrams, is working on Saturdays preparing the sets for the plays. Gene Stickler, chairman of properties, has appointed his committee and they are sewing the props for the productions. There will be a backstage workshop on Saturday. Theta Delta Rho will kill two birds with one stone again! Next Saturday, that's March 15, sorority members will congregate at Pomeroy's Department store and sell baked goods and goodies to the general public. The first objective will be to make a little money (they really want to make a lot of money, but they are being modest). All profits from the sale will go into the cholarship fund of the sorority. Each year the sorority gives a scholarship to some deserving girl, who is planning to enter Wilkes. This scholarship enables them to obtain their education with a minimum of monetary difficulties. The second objective is not such a worthy one, but it is a necessity to every girl. It has been said that the best way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Now is the time to get some of that much needed practice in the neglected art of cooking. All the sorority members can get the practice of slaving over a hot cake mix while serving the cause of TDR at the same time. Remember, if you DO burn something, ask mother to whip up a few things to donate to the sale. Every TDR member is urged to donate either cake, bread, rolls, cupcaikes, fudge, pie or cookies to the cause. Those who find it impossible to donate, are asked to help sell.

This phrase excites various reactions in the average student from "I don't know anything about it" to the more extreme "crazy", "ridiculous". But here on campus, Mr. Bernard Zawisa not only understands and enjoys it, but also does abstract painting. Mr. Zawisa came to Wilkes this year and is teaching art, education and philosophy courses. He graduated from W e s I e ya n College where he majored in English and minored in art. After completing a two-year course at the University of Iowa, he received his Master's degree in fine arts. The study consisted of one year of formal courses and the remaining year of unsupervised painting or studio work. It was during his undergraduate years at Wesleyan that Mr. Zawisa became interested in abstract art. The attractions this medium held for him were the unrestricted use of color and the freedom of arrangement in which it is the pleasant relationships which are important, not the fact that one has copied pleasingly. In abstract art the formal aesthetic elements of line, color, form, light action and their relationships are primary. Whereas, in traditional art works of the centuries since the Renaissance, the prime function was to represent, to copy nature. For example, in a painting by Matisse the relationship of forms determines the size and shape of parts of the body. Although abstract art is popularly thought of as a product of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, it has been in existence since men drew on the walls of their caves. Egyptian art work was abstract and, also, in Medieval paintings some elements such as clothes or vines and bushes, and frequently the background were treated abstractly, although figures were recognizable and quite representational. It was during the Renaissance that realism came into its own. The careful attention to detail made art a science so that the paintings of the Flemish school, for example, are almost like photographs. I Mr. Bernard Zawisa It is for this reason, Mr. Zawisa felt, that abstract art meets so much criticism. People simply have not been exposed to it and it is opposed to the traditional attitude twoard art which has been prevalent in the western world since the Renaissance. Today the American school of non-representational art is considered foremost in its field throughout the world and the mid-western universities have produced some of its best artists.

Dave has been a sturdy, dependable factor on the grappling squad throughout his collegiate career. This is even more noteworthy this year, since he not only has academic responsibilities, but he is a working man, and recently became a father for the first time. Last year Dave came out late for the team, just in time to bolster the squad and help it through an undeleated season. He said at that time that an "old married man" had no business in athletics, but results of the past 16 or so bouts have shown otherwise. Dave finished the year as one of the four unbeaten Colonels, and suffered only one draw on an otherwise spotless record. Now in his s.enior year, the likeable ex-Coughlm letterman is aiming for a June graduation in the field of commerce and finance.

Carl Havira was responsible for the points as he finished fourth in the 200-yard butterfly event. Carl was one of the two-man team representing Wilkes in the meet. Pat Shovlin entered in the 200yard backstroke, but failed to qualify for the finals. Havira failed to qualify in his other event, the 200-yard breast stroke. Four schools with full or nearly full rosters in the tourney failed to score at all. The West Chester Rams won the team title, LaSalle was second, followed by Lehigh and Dickinson. Havira got plenty of satisfaction from his efforts when he upset the Rams' butterfly entrant to enter the finals, then beat O'Neill of Dickinson by a length in the finals. O'Neil was the man who nipped Carl by an eyelash in the WilkesDickinson meet. All Baseball Prospects Told to Report Monday For Pre-season Drills In a rturn match with East Stroudsburg on Monday night, the Davismen were unable to stave off • a last-ditch rally by the Warriors,· and were nipped, 81-76. The Warriors were led by Ed Krysa and Charlie German who scored 43 points between them. Both were completely bottled in the game ab the Wilkes gym last month and found the range on their friendly, home court to upset the locals. George Morgan, who sprained his ankle in the Conference playoff tilt with Scranton, was unable to• play in that game and the Colonels missed the big center. George Gacha took up the slack in scoring with 25 counters, Eddie Birnbaum chipped in with 15 in the losing cause. Lafayette Romps, 109-56 Wednesday night at Easton, the Colonels had a taste of big-time college ball with the Leopards· of Lafayette providing the oppositiqn. Bob Mantz, All-State candidate, led the scoring with 47 points in the 109-56 rout. · George Morgan played half the game and sank 11 points, Gacha matched that total, both had five goals and a foul. The Leopards were in the lead all the way, steadily increasing the margin. Coach Davis took the opportunity to give the bench some experience and all Colonels saw action. Lions Could be Tough The Albright five has not had an outstanding season, but has shown plenty of fire this year. They lost a rough, 74-58 game to the powerful West Chester Rams, then pulled an upset over St. Joseph's with a 77-76 thriller. Steady Improvement The Colonels bettered their 1957 season record when they won 12 while losing eight. That season was the best in the history of the college. The steady improvement of the team over the years in the light of faster and rougher competition serves to take some of the sting out of the disappointing· losses and the perfect home record gives some indication of what may be expected next year when the cage season rolls around again. All baseball players are urged to report to the gym Monday afternoon anytime after 3:00 P.M. to begin drills for the 1958 collegiate baseball season. Coach John Reese has asked that all men interested in joining the team this year be prompt in indicating their desire to play. Because of the uncertainties of the weather at this time of the year, the first few drills will be schedued for indoors at the gym but the team will move over to th~ 'Yest Side for outdoor drills at any time the grounds permit.

Sword, president of the Petroleum Service ·Company, director of the Miners Bank, director of the Osterhout library and fonner chairman of the Committee of 100, addressed the assembly on Tuesday. Mr. Sword helped in the industrial growth and development of Wilkes-Barre. His topic was, "The Introduction of Industry to Greater Wilkes-Barre." Mr. Sword pointed out that coal was discovered in our area about 150 years ago. With the discovery of coal came a canal and all attendant services that make up an industry. White Haven was a seap01·t canal whe1:e coal was transported to sea-gomg vessels. When t~e need for coal declined, the entire economy of our area was affected and began to drop..

Mr. Sword also stated that labor was another problem in our area. We had the reputation of being a bad labor area; however, a LaborManagement - Citizens' Committee was form ed to promote labor peace and establish in the eyes of the world that here was a good labor area. In closing, Mr. Sword appealed to the student body to carry on the work started by his generation.

Other Champions Ron Green of Albright took the 130-pound · crown with a pin over Dick Charles of the West Chester Rams, in 8:47. Tony Meconi, the Rams' 147-pounder, won the title of that division with a thrilling 5-4 decision over Dick Pike of Lafayette. Dave Murdock of Bucknell decisioned Antinnes, 3-0, for the 167pound championship, Ken Campbell of the Rams pinned Glogowski to win his 177-pound title and the Tourney's Outstanding Wrestler award, and Jerry Rehrig, Muhlenberg captured the heavyweight title by edging Moravian's Charlie Bartolet in a bout won on time advantage, 4-3.

Dave Thomas and Albright's Ron Green shared second place with 14 points each, Jim Ward and Bobby Morgan were third with 13 points apiece. Three Colonels in Consolations Friday, March · '_7, 1958 . . . Three other Wilkesmen were in the running for medals; Joe Morgan, Keith Wilia~s, and Bob Sislian. Morgan provided the thrills of the tourney when he turned in more wrestling than any other man in the event. Joe took to the mat five times, twice had to wrestle overtime bouts, winning both on referee's decisions. He was beaten by Don Simpson, defending MASCAC 147-pound champ, in the consolation rounds, to score fourth place points for the Colonels. Earlier, he was defeated, 7-2, by West Chester's Tony Meconi, who finally won the 147-pound championship. Morgan did all this with an injured shoulder, wrapped in tape. Keith Wiliams finished in fourth place after he had entered the consolations with a hard-fought, 2-1 win over Jack Jacob, Moravian 130-pounder. In the finals, Keith was stopped by Mike Bifulco of Hofstra in 5:58, two seconds before the end of the match. Bob Sislian turned in two of the best bouts of his career with a thrilling 2-0 decision over heavyweight Walt Strong of Swarthmore, then followed that with a great 7-2 win over Ed Deuel of Bucknell. The brilliant semi-final win over the Bison heavyweight prompted coach Reese to add to his congratulations the remark, " . .. a real tournament wrestler." . •. High prise, indeed. Hofstra'i Hen~ ry Barnard proved too much for the tiring, outweighed S i s l i an, however, and pinned him in 4:23. ZAWISA AIRS VIEWS (continued from page 3) nized artists are women which is unusual in a medium which is so highly imaginative, powerful and explosive. True abstraction in art is definitely a development of this age and there is a similar trend in the other arts. In its field abstract art is related to Gertrude Stein, E. E. Cummings and James Joyce in literature, and to Bartok, Stravinsky and Schoenberg in music. Although Mr. Zawisa is primarily interested in abstract art, he enjoys other forms of art work and does portrait sketches, also. Any interested student may see examples of Mr. Zawisa's work in his studio in the art building. SPECIAL TUX GROUP PRICES for WD.KES:tBCES ~ JOHN B. STETZ~• Expert Clotbl• ~ 9 E. Market SL, W-B.

The Development Drive achieved its goal and went over the top by $2,387. This to us, is one of the most commendable projects engaged in by the community and the students in recent years. The students' contribution of over $3000 gave the total tlie added boost needed to make the campaign a success. Faculty members, admittedly being paid less than average, found it in th_~ir wallets and in their hearts to give $6,714. If this isn't a showing of loyalty, we would like to see one. Even the alumni, out of school and enveloped in their own int~rests, found the time and the money to contribute. We would like to extend special congratulations to the 200 community leaders who gave their time unselfishly in soliciting, to the people who gave special gifts, to the faculty and students, to the organizations on campus that gave as groups, and to the Student Council who supported the drive. Most _of all, we express our sincere gratitude to the people ?f Wro~mg Vall~y who realize that education is a necessity m b~d~g a lastmg and prosperous community. Their generosity will long be remembered as a high point in the history of Wilkes. To everyone who contributed, we say thank you. -mjk by Fred Roberts "This is for rugged Americans who believe in the old fashioned virtues of independence." We are acquainted with an aged war veteran's widow who lives on a paltry government pension. She has a small bank account saved from her husband's insurance to cover her burial expenses. She has steadfastly refused to touch it preferring to go without the necessities of life in order to know that she will not be buried at taxpayers' expense. Despite the urging of social workers who insist that she must spend all of her savings - for television sets or luxuries - it makes no difference to them - before she can receive any assistance, she has remained adamant. They tell her that they will give her a monthly income, take care of all her funeral expenses - that what she has saved won't cover the cost anyway. Her answer is: "I am an American, I wasn't brought up that ·way." Now she is ill, requiring medical attention as frequently as six times a month.

Instead of examining the provisions of the public assistance laws suffice it so say that they have bee~ mentioned in a bad light by the editor and perhaps even misapplied by their administrators. But the crux of this whole philosophical position is not so much unbending individualism as traditionalism a type of status quo thinking summ~d up in the editor's protestation for the woman: "I wasn't brought up that way." _I am afraid that many people still refuse to recognize the fact !hat th!ngs change. Society in an mcreasmgly complicated world has assumed the obligation of providing for the individual who cannot provide for himself. And rightly so. Even the facts of this case are inconsistent with the principle of in~ependence e s po u s e d by the editor. The widow has accepted the government relief due her as a veteran's wife. M o re o v e r the editor has himself compromised his theme of rugged individualism by asking the public for charity for the woman. This deficiency of rationality is all too prevalent in the arguments of most conserva.tives, and should argue against their position. When a choice between charity and government assistance is necessary and if, as the editor wishes, Letter to the Editor ".. ************************ Dear Editor, It has come to my attention that on the recent trip to Rutgers, a few of our basketball players met with an unfortunate mishap. It involved two cars in a near-collision. Let's hope that this will impress upon our administrators the importance and necessity of a bus for transporting our athletes to contests away from home. It is inconceivable that a college the size of Wilkes College does not have a bus for this purpose. Our players must drive their cars to the games, many times on treacherous roads, and then upon arrival compete with the players who merely had to either walk or drive a short distance to the game. It is only natural that our athletes are going to be tired and nervous after such journeys. The expense involved seems very high, but is it really high when thinking in terms of a possible fatal tragedy? This was no.t the first time something like this occurred, since I believe they were almost involved in an accident on the trip to Ithaca earlier this year. It is not fair to expect athletes who are bringing recognition to their school to drive to the games, and I think that it is high time that the school either purchase a bus or rent one for each athletic contest away from home. Sincerely yours, William Dully RETAILING GROUP TOUR Members of the college Retailing Group will tour the Boston Store this afternoon, from 1:00 to 3:00 P.M. The first project of the Group this semester, the tour represents an opportunity for the members to become better acquainted with behind-the-scenes retail operations in relation to textbook interpretations. Mr. Ronald Michman, retailing instructor and faculty advisor of the Retailing Group, will accompany the stdents on the tour. DEVELOPMENT (continued from page I) Bill Zdancewicz Welcome We want to welcome the visiting wrestlers from colleges and universities throughout the East, who are at Wilkes for the 1958 Middle Atlantic Wrestling Tournament to be held today and tomorrow. Welcome to our ivy surroundings, covered in spots with Mother Nature's snow . . . now turning black and finally going away. In Print ... At Last! . An organization exists on campus which, up to the present, has shied away from any publicity. We wish to give recognition to this group and make known their accomplishments over the past three years. We are speaking about the Wilkes Chapter of the Wilkes•Barre Junior Chamber of Commerce. Now in its third year, the Wilkes Jaycees represent an organization which, through its efforts, aids the members for training in leadership, citizenship, civic and collegiate betterment, and community welfare. The members strive to promote the civic, industrial and educational activities of the college and community, and aim to promote good-will and mutual understanding among its members, the college, and the people of Wyoming Valley. Their purpose may seem detailed and farreaching, but, a historical review will reveal that they are accomplishing this purpose and, in return, gaining experience for future undertakings. Recently the members completed a parking project, resulting from a two-year investigation, relevant to a possible solution to the traffic situation in the city. Their report will not be submitted to the Idea Committee of the W-B Junior Jaycees. In December the Wilkes Jaycees were active in _projects to aid the Annual Orphans' Shopping Tour in Wilkes-Barre. They participated in the "Toll-Gate Collection," and the selling of Christmas Stockings. In January, the W-B Jaycees held their meeting in Stark Hall, at which time, the college chapter acted as host for the occasion. They also conducted a tour of the Science Hall after the meeting. The Wilkes Jaycees will take an active part in the Parade of Progress to be held in April at the Kingston Armory. Their plans include: assisting Wilkes with the college historical development booth, and operating a Raffle Booth - selling chances for a portable television set. The present project of the Group is to supervise the collection of various types of articles which will prove helpful to patients at the Retreat State Hospital. Plans are in the formula- tive stage, so, further publicity of his project will appear in later issues of the Beacon. The Wilkes Jaycees meet every Tuesday in Sturdevant Hall and once a month they have a dinner-meeting, at which time they have a civic leader as a speaker for the occasion. We want to welcome the Wilkes Jaycees to the realms of publicity and wish them good luck on their future projects.

At the Student Council meeting Monday, February 24, it was decided that - begining this year (that is this semester) all candidates for the title of "Cinderella" (chosen to reign at the annual Cinderella Ball) will be limited to senior females!!! ,r College and Community On Monday of this week, Wilkes students belonging to the Student Musicians Group of the Mozart Club of Wilkes-Barre, presented a musical narration at the monthly meeting of the Mozart Club. Audrey Bartlett and Wayne Walters participated in a narration concerning the composers Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms. Audrey, Wayne, and Jean Pyatt performed a musical selection, James Connell played the piano, Mary Ann Kachmar played the violin, Bill Peters presided, and solos were performed by Jean and Wayne. Students and faculty of the college, as well as the public, attended the performance which proved entertaining and educational. Dr. Eugene S. Farley, key speaker of the evening, expressed his gratification at the increasing amount of friends which have come to the college's side since his arrival here 22 years ago. In his remarks, Dr. Farley said, "This campaign projects what we have been doing and will do - projecting ahead. The gift itself ends, but the friendship and support continues. Outstanding gains will show in the college and the upgrowing economy of the community as a result of these efforts." Dr. Farley reviewed the development of Wilkes College, highlighting the successful campaigns of past years, including two during the war period. One such campaign was held to acquire an endowment of $500,000 to acquire a state charter, since the college had neither church nor state support. Wilkes achieved independence from Bucknell University AFTER its first class was graduated, th u s acquiring the unique record of accreditment without interruption since its founding. The final report meeting of the campaign concluded with several musical selections by the Collegians and in response to an enthusiastic Audrey Bartlett reception, they sang "The ,B attle day morning at St. Hymn of the Republic" as an encore.

Jim was beaten in the rated as favorites for the team final half-minute of last year's 130~ title, with Dickinson seen as the pound championship bout. "dark horse." Dave Thomas, at 157 pounds, is the other Colonel co-captain, and boasts a winning streak of twelve, nine this year. He also suffered a draw during this s e a s on. He finished second at 157 in the 1957 tourney. Walt er Glogowski will be the Wilkes 177-pound entrant. Last year Walt finished third in the MASCAC tourney's 167 division. Only one individual champion is expected to return to do battle, Muhlenberg's Don Simpson. Simpson took the 147-class crown last year, will wrestle at 157 pounds. A wards will be made for team championship, first-, second-, and third-places, and for the tourney's most outstanding wrestler.

He has plenty of company in that category, but his point total is equalled by none. He recorded ten wins during the 1958 season, three on decisions, the rest on falls for a grand total of 44 points, three more ,than the record 41 made last year by Jim Wa1·d. Morgan picked up his last five i)Oints on a forfeit win when his Fairleigh-Dickinson opponent was ineligible. He wrestled the larger heavier man for exhibition and won a good bout, 9-8. Even had the bout not been forfeit, the three points for the decision would have broken the 41-point mark. The wiry senior has returned this season after a two-year absence from Wilkes, but he took up the mat sport right where he left off in 1955. While at Wilkes that year, he grabbed second place in the 117-pound class of the "Four-I" tourney in Cleveland and took second in the National YMCA taurney's 125-pound division later *•*•• BOWLING STANDINGS Pinbusters Kamp.

The match was the opener of the season's third doubleheader and both Colonel squads came through unscathed. Wilkes has not lost one of .the home bargain-bill affairs in two years. Four •Colonels remained unbeaten for the year, and accounted for 20 of the team's total. Bobby Morgan's five forfeit points gave him the new all-time Wilkes scoring record of 44 points on ten wins in ten bouts; six of those victories were on pins. Jim Ward stretched his unbeaten string to 3'0 with a second-period fall, .Keith Williams registered a pin for his fifteenth straight win, and Ward's co-captain Dave Thomas remained victorious over twelve dual meets with a fall in the 157 bout. Freshman Marv Antinnes continued his sple nd id work, turning in a beautiful performance with a 3-0 shutout in the 167-pound class, and 177 -P 0 U nd er "Tiger" Walt Glogowski waited only a few seconds to turn in a second-period fall over his man. Last night at Bethlehem, the Colonels suffered an 82-62 loss to the Scranton U. Royals in the first round play of the MASCAC elimination tournament, knocking them out of contention for the Northern Division crown. The loss was costly in more ways than one as ace center George Morgan, a conference scoring leader, suffered a sprained ankle early in the game and had to leave. The Colonels stayed with the Royals throughout the first half which ended at 41-all, even led in the opening moments of the second, but Ed Kazakavich, Division scoring leader, sparked a rally to put Scranton in the lead and they broke away for good. Sophomores Bernie Radecki and George Gacha carried the bulk of the Wilkes scoring load. Radecki hit for five goals and six fouls for 16 points, Gacha had seven goals and a foul for 15.

At a site to be determined next week, the winner of that game will meet the winner of the Franklin and Marnhall-Drexel tilt for the right to represent the conference in the NCAA post-season tourney. The Colonels will attempt to get back on the winning trail when they resume their schedule at East Stroudsburg on Monday evening at 8 :00 P.M. The regular season is now compl eted for the grapplers.

Klawonn To those people who managed to plow (literally) through the snow for the sole purpose of picking up a copy of the Beacon, we say howdy! Last Sunday night the most welcome announcement in the Final reports of the Wilkes 25th Anniversary Devlopment Campaign history of Wilkes was heard over the radio - "There will be no will be made tonight, 6:15 p.m., in classes at Wilkes College until further notice." WILKES EXPANSION DRIVE NEARS END the Crystal Ballroom, Hotel Sterling. Weather conditions over the - weekend required the cancellation of the report meeting from Monday, February 17, to tonight. The present total contribution of the Wilkes "family" - trustees, faculty, students, and alumni - is over 50 <'/o of the total contribution to date and 49.75 per cent of the $500,000 goal. Student contributions to the Development Campai gn, 76 in number, have reat:hed a total of $2,219. Many of the students have been contributing in the Campaign with the aid of their parents, since the parents are not bing contacted separately. At tonight's meeting, the WiJ,kes male chorus, directed by Sam Lowe, will perform several musical selections and a final report of student contributions will be made by Ed Kotula, president of the Student Council. The balance remaining to be collected is $24,000. Mr. Koch, campaign director, stated that "all indications show that everyone is trying to raise this final amount to make our goal of $500,000 a reality." NOTICE Gordon Roberts announced that all students who ordered college plates from the history club should pick them up in the bookstore no later than next Friday. ***** Anyone having extra copies of issues 14 and 15 of the Beacon please bring them to the Beacon office. Unfortunately, Dr. Farley also heard the announcement and quickly informed the station that Wilkes would have classes •.. it's sort of an original motto here at Wilkesneither rain, nor sleet nor snow, etc., etc. The Beacon would love to interview the person or persons who sent in the joyous, but false, announcement. We imagine Dr. Farley would like to interview him also. But anyhow, we won't have to make up the lost day next June. About half of the Beacon staff is snowbound in various parts of the globe, or at least we think they are snowbound. On the other hand, they might be taking advantage of the editorial board by pretending to be stranded. You don't have to write news stories if you're snowbound! One reporter sent in a long story about a recent campus event. The event occurred in 1916, but the pigeon just arrived today - those Poconos must be bad. The story is . on page 7, by-the-way. We heard that a certain teacher started out on foot last Sunday in order to get to his 8 o'clock class on Monday. He tramped along all night, fighting the wind - and arrived on campus at 8:11 - the class had left. Yes, he got the raise. TDR asked the Girls Chorus to sing at the tea this afternoon. At this writing, there has been no word received from any member of the chorus - maybe they are snowbound in Gies Hall. Has anyone gotten to Gies yet? We wandered up to the Beacon office last Monday afternoon and found out why they call the paper "drippy", the room was floating (Honest, we didn't have a drop! The roof was leaking!). The water on the desk was inches deep and our fa v or it e typewriter was pounding away all by itself. All it typed, over and over, was "HELP-a, HELP-a, somebody turn off-a the snow machine." Mr. Jervis and his crew did a swell job of cleaning up, but this is one time when we won't complain when someone says we're all wet, we are! The weather report on Friday evening read something like this: Tomorrow snow, followed by little boys with sleds. We heard rumors that everything was banned in Boston last week; they had more of the white stuff than we did. Everyone in Beantown put down their copies of Peyton Place and started to read Snow Bound - this we have to see! The student teachers were in seventh heaven Sunday night when all the announcements of high schools closing for the day were being broadcast. Some of them got a day of grace but most had to stand on the "other side of the desk" for a while. Now they know how it feels to lecture into attention-filled eyes - all directed out the window at the snow! The dorm students felt a little left out Sunday morning. One group saw a car, tho. It was stuck in a drift but there was someone in it. Speaking of dorm students, there was really a catastrophe Joan Llewellyn C'n' CWILL PRESENT THREE ONE-ACT PLAYS Cue 'n' Curtain will present three one-act plays in Chase Theater on March 17, 18, and 19. The plays are all comedies and will be student directed. The first comedy is Ways and Means by Noel Coward. This one act production will be directed by Steve Poleskie. The second one act is The Unseen and will be directed by Steve Cooney. The third will be Lord Byron's Love Letters, directed by Nashama Rosenbaum. Casting for the three plays has not been completed to date and the student directors have urged anyone who wishes to have a part in one of the productions to see them immediately. There will be no admission charged for the three plays. Howard Allen has been appointed chairman of the lighting committee, replacing Don Henry, who is presently student teaching. Pat Ide has been appointed secretary pro tern for the rest of the year. She replaces Daisette Gebhart in that position. Cue 'n' Curtain will go to New York on March 22 to see a play. The play has not been selected as yet. Sunday night - the JCC snack bar was closed. This should be enough silliness to last for awhile. But if Dick (continued on page 3) The tie between the two co-eds, both members of the sophomore class, is the second tie in the an~ nual "Best Dressed" contest, which is sponsored by the Beacon in conjunction with Glamour magazine. Last year's contest, the first such sponsored on campus, ended in a three-way tie between Mary Homan, Nancy Frey, and Lynne Boyle, the latter was elected final winner. The name of the winner of the run-off election will appear in next week's Beacon. Miss Homan and Miss Llewellyn were selected by the student body from a list of ten candidates nominated by members of the Beacon editorial staff. The Beacon wishes to stress that students keep in mind while voting that this is not a popularity contest. Students are urged to vote for their choice on the basis of good grooming, style, imagination and color planning in wardrobe and accessories, neatness, figure, and looks. The winner of the Wilkes contest will enter the national contest along with the winners of all the individual contests of the various participating colleges and universities. Three pictures of the winner, in a date dress (semi-formal or formal), a campus outfit, and an off-campus d a y t i m e dress, will be photographed on the college campus and sent to the national contest. These will be the basis of selecting the ten national winners. Sometime in the fall, Glamour, plans to devote one of its regular issues c o m p l e t e l y to college fashions, and will feature the ten national winners as models. Size of the college does not enter into final selection by the Glamour judges. One of the ten national winners of last year's contest was a student at Marywood College in Scranton. Miss Homan, a suave brownhaired, brown-eyed commerce and finance major, is a native of Jackson Heights, New York, and a resident at McClintock Hall. She is active in Theta Delta Rho and designed the backdrop at the recent Valentine prom. She served on the Student Council in her freshman year and is a member of her class council. She was a Cinderella Candidate last spring and a model in the Theta Delta Rho fashion show. Joan Llewellyn, resides on North Washington Street, Wilkes-Barre, and is majoring in elementary education. Miss Llewellyn, also a brown - haired, brown - eyed lass, served as Homecoming princess this pa st fall, and was selected as one of the ten "Best Dressed" coeds last year. She is also a member of the Education Club and Theta Delta Rho. NOTICE There will be a BEACO ..

N~ess to say, paths weren't beaten to our doors by students offenng to remedy the situation - in fact, we didn't even receive one offer. However, the Beacon is still operating, but only through the efforts of a handful of faithful staff members. Including the editors, we have four or five seniors, about fiy?. juniors, ar_id one sophomore who understand the responsibilities of puttmg out a student publication. Considering the fact, that we havE: only one sophomore working with us, we can t help wondering about the fate of this paper in 1959. We need freshmen on the staff to train for future positions. Contrary to common belief, working on the college paper does not require much sacrifice or too much hard work. As a matter of fa~t, the experience is most rewarding and interesting, not to mention the fact that the editors receive scholarship aid for their efforts. The bare fact is that we need help in any way, shape, or fo~, and we will welcome and appreciate any little contributions from the student body - especially those from freshmen ~nd sophomores.. Staff meetings are held every Friday at noon m the Beacon office at 159 South Franklin Street, third floor. We cannot emphasize enough just how much we'd appreciate having you on our staff. -Jan by Fred Roberts "A Congressional committee is wholly the creature of the resolution setting it up and cannot act ultra vires that instrument," so said Dr. Bernard Schwartz in his book, The Supreme Court (1957). This passage from what is a respected study of the Constitution adds substance to the controversy brought into the light last week by the public accusations of a "white-wash" directed at a House subcommittee and beyond to the White House itself by this same Dr. Schwartz. The doctor's actions result ed in his ouster as committee counsel; so he resorted to trying hi s case in the press; something which 'Yashington with some justification regards with extrem e disfa vor particularly since the McCarthy interlude. But if Schwartz's sordid accusation_s are just, his unorthodox behav10r has ser ved a most useful purpose. Early in 1957 Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn left the chair to back a special House probe of the six independent regulatory agencies. There have been rumors of dubious activities in these agcncies for years. The only previous investigation of their operations was that of several years ago into the Federal Communications Commission headed by Senator Magnuson (Dem.-Wash.), and it did nothing but add fuel to the rumors for all Magnuson accomplished was to gain approval of his 4% ownership in a newly licensed television station in Seattle. The House intention and that of Rayburn, too, who was the doting father of these agencies, was to investigate only agency submission to Executive pressure not day to day business, as a matter of fact, Rayburn's own nephew was on the F .C.C. The probe was assigned to the Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee, headed by Oren Harris (Dem.-Ark.). Harris himself is suspected in some quarters because after he became chairman in 1957 he acquired one-quarter interest in a television station which soon became rather successful, and because he is a perennial sponsor of the bill to remove natural gas producers from government price control administered by the Federal Power Commission - one of the regulatory agencies to be under investigation. The actual investigation of this the House Subcommittee on Legislative Oversight (looking over not overlooking ) was placed under the nominal control of Morgan Moulder (Dem.-Mo.), the only Missouri Congressman to vote for Harr is' gas bill, but Harris himself kept control_of expenses, subpoenas, and staff aides. Dr. Schwa1tz, a brilliantly aggressive young professor of administrative law at N.Y.U. decided to put his studies to practical use, and he applied for the job as committee counsel. With Democratic sponsorship he got the post. The ticklish nature of his job is illustrated by the fact that feelers from the White House went out immediately to N.Y.U. to ascertain Schwartz's politics - he is registered Republican, and by Harris' attempts to keep tabs on Schwartz by packing his staff. Behind these moves was the ominous duality of the natur al gas WILKES COLLEGE BEACON A newspaper published each week of the regular school year by and for the students of Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pa. per year.

Sparks 6-Game Streak Snaps Mid-Year Slump With 103 in 3 Games by Al Ullman This week George Morgan receives the Athlet e of the Week Award, on the strength of his three outstanding performances against Stroudsburg, Susquehanna, and Rutgers. Although all of the games wer e played on the opponents' courts, "Big George" hit for 33 in each of the first two, and 37 at Rutgers. Morgan also took 22 rebounds in the Rutgers game, which Wilkes won, 91-67. Since Morgan began his terrific scoring surge the Colonels have won on the road as well as at home. By winning four conference games in a row, Wilkes moved from 7th to a first place tie with the University of Scranton in the Middle Atlantic Conference. Both have identical 8-2 records, with one conference game remaining. Wilkes now owns a 12-4 season record. Morgan, who scored 15 goals and missed only four shots in the Rutgers game is a well-liked senior, majoring in business administration. Upon graduating in June, George plans to become an underwriter with a national insurance firm. He r esides with his parents at 402 E. Main Street, Plymouth. ,.The· cagers journeyed to· Newark last Saturday where they won their sixth straight game on a resounding 91-67 thumping of the Rutgers squad. . The_ swimmers ~ook an automatic wm from the Scranton Royals when the boys from up the lin~ were unable to suit up enough swimmers for the scheduled meet. The Colonelettes will have a chance at revenge from the girls from Misericordia when they will participate in the opener of the Eastern League's basketball extravaganza, the February 26 EastWest Pro All-Star game.

Bobby Morgan and Keith Williams will also fin ish their careers, both are hoping to emerge unbeaten. Ward has run his streak of consecutive dual meet wins to 29. Thomas drew with State Champion Micio at Millersville for the only blot on his record. Morgan has had six pins and three decisions for a total of 39 points, two shy of the record 41 scored by Ward last year.

Wrestling-Basketball Twin Bill Starts at 7 GRAPPLERs READY To DEFEND TITLE by Dick Myers, Sports Editor Tomorrow's big day of sports begins at the Wilkes-Barre YMCA pool when the Colonels seek their first Win in their season's finale against the Lycoming Warriors. The starting time for the meet is 2:00 P.M., there is no admission charge. At 7:00 P.M., the w re st 1 in g squad will close out its season against the Fairleigh-Dickinson team from Rutherford, N.J. To. top the day's progrctm of firstrate thrills in sports, the cagers will conclude their home season against Philadelphia Textile after the w r e s t 1 i n g mat is cleared off the court. Swimmers Hopeful of Improvement. Clete Miller and his game band of mermen will attempt to improve their fine showing of two weeks • ago when they lost a close decision to Lycoming, 47-38. The score going into the final event of that meeting was 40-38. The final relay ' is worth seven points and the weary Colonels, who had each swum in two previous events, were not able to grab the win. They have high • hopes of showing the Warriors a tougher battle tomorrow. Last Saturday's scheduled meet with Scranton was won by Wilkes · on a forfeit when the Royals failed to produce enough manpower to compete. Cagers Enjoying Top Season Coach Eddie Davis has brought · his boys into the home stretch of· the 1957-58 season with one of the finest records ever held by a Colo- :· nel squad. To date, they have won' twelve while losing only four, and in the Middle Atlantic Conference race, hold an 8-2 record to tie Scranton for first place. Last Saturday's snow-hampered· victory at Rutgers equalled the school record for longest winning streak at six, and the margin of victory shows that they have indeed overcome the pesky "road jinx" that had plagued them all season. Tomorrow night they face a tough team from Philadelphia who took a big win from King's in Philadelphia and lost a close decision to the Monarchs on the locals' court. A win over Textile will help the Colonels regain some of the prestige they lost in the disastrous drubbing suffered in Scranton. Grapplers Hope to Repeat The grapplers will be out to atone for their heart-breaking 1514 loss at Millersville when they host Fairleigh-Dickinson at 7:00. The bout will be a warm-up for their big effort next week when they seek to repeat as MASCAC wrestling kingpins.

" Then, after many attempts, th e r e came "K21PA, K21PA, this is W3TBT." Contact was made, proving everything was working fine. The above ,p aragraph _pe1tains to the first HAM radio contact made by Ken Evans, a sophomore at WiJ.kes. To Ken, the contact meant ithe culmination of many months of preparation and anticipation. Ken's interest in being a HAM operator extends into the :past, but, it was during last summer that his knowledge of its mechanics had reached the point of applying for a license. Ken passed the test and received his license from the Federal Communications Commission. Within a short time, he l.>egan to receive. the equipment necessary to set up a portable station in the attic of Gore Hall. During the months that followed, Ken assembled the equipment with the aid of his roommate, Larry Pugh. He then designed and built an antennae switching device which allowed for better clarity and control with his contacts. Then the big day arrived. It was on February 13, at 2:35 p.m., that Ken made his first HAM contact. After repeatedly calling, Ken heard the following, "K21PA, this is W3TBT, standing by." This meant that contact was made. After following set procedures, it was acknowledged that Ken had contacted a HAM station in WilkesBarre. This contact to Ken meant that all his long hours of work had resulted in success. Everything was working fine. Satisfied with the workings of tlis equipment, Ken proceeded to make other contacts. His Big Contact came February 13, at 5 :27 ip.m., when he heard from a girl HAM operator (named Margaret), who lived in Mt. Everest, above New York City; call I e t t e r s W2RPJ. Several other contacts have been made since his big contact with W2RPJ, but that one will remain his Big One. A former local resident of West Pittston, Ken lives with his parents in New York. He is a sophomore at Wilkes majoring in Electrical Engineering. Ken mentioned that his hobby as a HAM operator is of great help to him in his area of education and his career - that of electronics. Ken's roommate in Gore, Lany Pugh of Hunlocks Creek, has been of great help to Ken with his work, helping with the making of blueprints and the building of the equipment. It was Larry and Ken who designed and built th e intc>rcom system now being used in Gore Hall. Whil e this reporter interviewed Ken on Tuesday , February 18, Ken made a contact with Norman Kopiak of Kingston, call letters W3WYE. Ken and Norman discussed the mechanics of their equipment and eventually, they talked a bout t he standb y topic of the w eather . Ken's plans now include th e arranging of a radio conta et with a relative of La rr y's, who lives in Georgia. He hopes to mak e contact som etim e in March. We wish Ken the best of luck in his hobby and ... should you make contact with the Moon, Ken, let the Beacon have the scoop! Till then, this is the Beacon standing by. - - -- - - - - - - - - -- - Faculty members and Consolidated representatives who are now planning the preliminary schedule are Dr. Eugene Farley, Dr. Charles Reif, Dr. Sheldon Cohen, Dr. Francis Michelini, Abraham Berman and Dr. Elmer Peterson. The research project is an extension of the college's policy of cooperation with local industries. An earlier project along these lines was conducted in the management training program under the auspices of Dr. Samuel Rosenberg, head of the commerce and financ e department. In addition to Consolidated Ciga r Company, other companies which have previously utilized the col- • lege's services are: Kingston Cake Company, Hess-Goldsmith, Delaware & Hudson Railroad, Pioneer Manufacturing Company, Nelson Brothers, Kingston; and Vulcan Iron W 01>ks. F i rm s participating in these projects find them extremely valuable, especially since they foster the advancement of local personnel. Dr. Farley cited the college's projected research program as evidence of the interdependence of American business and higher education. "You're the first girl I've ever kissed," he said, as he shifted gears with his knees. • WHAT IS A SEASONAL MUSICIAN?

We doubt if there is one student at the college who cannot afford to give such a small amount of money to the college that has served us so fully.

During their leave Dr. and Mrs. Mui traveled to England to do research on the economic and social history of tea trade and tea consumption · in England. The study includes the period from the middle of the seventeenth century to the end of the nineteenth century and is the preliminary research for a book on tea drinking habits, which Dr. and Mrs. Mui plan to write jointly. The purpose of the study is to learn the relationship between tea consumption and the economic and social conditions in England. The study will include the importation of tea and products connected with its consumption and the distribution of them in the country. Dr. and Mrs. Mui did most of their research studying the documents on tea trade, which are kept in the British Museum Library, the Indian Office Library, which contains complete files of the trade of the East India Company, and the Public Record Office. Dr. and Mrs. Mui began their trip in June and r eturned at the end of December. During their trip, they also visited southern Eng land, Wales, and Belgium. Their interest in this topic began two years ago, and since then they have given several lectures to local community groups on this subject. T hey also intend to write several articles on tea consumption before completing their book.

Broce Warshal Named Second-Best Speaker Out of Field of Seventy-nine Individuals; Team Prepares to Defend State Championship For the second weekend in succession, varsity debaters Bruce W arshal and Fred Roberts received honors at a major debate tourney last weekend. The two-man team participated in the Harvard Invitational Forensic Tournament at Cambridge, Massachusetts, last weekend, and placed third among 33 entries from colleges and universities throughout the country. Tied for third place with Wilkes were Northwestern and Dartmouth. Winner of the tourney was University of Pennsylvania, who won by defeating Brandeis in the final round. Wilkes defeated Maine, Providence, Southeastern of Oklahoma, Washburn of Kansas, and Northwestern to achieve the third place position. They dropped a close decision on the negative to Harvard, whom they had defeated earlier this season at the Brown tourney. Additional honors ·came to the team as Warshal was the second speaker out of 76 in individual scoring. He was edged out of the first place position by the narrow margin of 252 to 251. Roberts achieved the position of twelfth speaker. The Wilkes team now has the best record ever achieved at this ,point of the season. Their record is 22 wins against three losses, while the overall varsity record Bruce Warshal, Dr. Arthur N. Kruger, and Fred Roberts stands at 31 wins against seven display some of the trophies the debaters have won in past losses. national tourneys.

In last week's meet at Williamsport, he pulled an "Iron Man" stunt, swimming in three events, placing first in each, for 15 of the team's 38 points. For those who have never seen a swimming meet and therefore can't appreciate the task of competing three times in the same meet, it could be roughly comparable to a wrestler finishing one bout of a meet and promptly starting another, or to a basketball player being asked to do the work of two other men on a three-man squad. Havira's three first-place accomplishments w c r e n e a r l y equalled in the next meet at Bucknell, when he gained two first places and a third for eleven of Wilkes' 16 points.

The Bombers threw a scare into the league-leaders in the first game when they lost by a scant seven pins, but the Pinbusters broke loose and were never in danger after that. For the victors, Lewis led with his 509 series. Others: John Sapiego, 171-488; Bob Morris, 178-466; Emil Petrasek, 187-454; and Don Wilkinson, 137-392. ·Paul B!eifer was high man for the .Bombers with a 171-458 effort. His mates were: "Matty" Mattioli, 146-373; Warren Schmid, 141-3·68; John Schade, 128-344; Al Jones, 12'6-331. Tatoos Hold Second The Rose Tatoos kept a grip on the second-place spot when they took a 4-0 decision from Sam Weinstein's Losers. Barnett Weber of the Losers was high for the game with 181-496. Rose Weinstein led her team with 186-477. For the Tatoos: Joe Ackourey, 162-423; Jim Ross, 156-437; Fran Bishop, 130-372; Fred Petrini, 124357.

Keglers Move into Third The Kampus Keglers took a 3-1 win from the Teetotalers to move up into third place in the loop. Hillard Hoffman had 178-513 to pace th e Kegl ers, while the scores of the Teetotalers were somewhat less than s 1;cctac:ular. Hall Shaver and Paul Katz were able to hit games of 1G6 and 156, but the 163pin lead the Keglers built in the first match was too much. For th e Kegl ers: Hoffman, 513; Pete Mah o Ii k, 147-419; Chuck Kirchner, 174-3:1-1; John Macri, 138392. The Teetotal ers: Shaver, 166397; Stan Yurkowski, 146-394; and Mim Thom son, 141-327.

Sunday's Action Starting promptly at 7:30 P.M., the team s will go at it again on Sunday at th e Jewish Community Center lanes. In what promises to be a red-hot battle, the firstand second-place teams tangle on alleys one and two. The Rose Tatoos will meet the Pinbusters in an attempt to equalize the league standings. On alleys three and four, the Kampus Keglers will tackle the happless Butler B o m b e r s. The Bombers are in last place, ten games behind the Pinbusters.

SWIMMERS LOSE CLOSE MEET AT LYCOMING, BEATEN AT BUCKNELL; HOME TOMORROW by Bob Sutherland Operating in their second and third contests,. the swimmers found the going easy, then tough. In the Lycommg match last Saturday, they lost a close meet by a 47-38 score, then journeyed to Bucknell on Tuesday where they suffered a severe defeat, 70-16. In Williamsport last Saturday, they threw a scare into the Ly~oming team, taking six out of ten first places. As are many Colonel teams, the swimmers are hampered by lack of depth. They went into the final event, the 400yard relay, with four tired men trailing the Warriors by a bare, two-point margin. Each man had swam in two events prior to the relay and Lycoming picked up the win for seven more team points and the contest. The Colonels were led by Carl Havira, who took three first places, and by student coach Clete Miller, who grabbed two firsts and a second. match at the YMCA at 2:00 P.M. At 7 :00 P.M., the wrestlers will meet Fairleigh-Dickinson to close their successful season, and the cagers will follow that event with their final home appearance against Philadelphia Textile.

LEWIS-DUNCAN - Some 400 hardy and loyal Colonel basketball fans braved the worst snow storm of the season on Friday night to watch their boys scalp the Warriors from East Stroudsburg, 106-84. George Morgan put on a display of scoring which has been long overdue, as he dunked in 12 wellvaried field goals and nine of ten foul shots for a game-leading total of 33 .p oints. Eddie Birnbaum played a superb guarding game on the Warriors' vaunted Charlie German and held him to one goal, three fouls, for five points. Road Jinx Overcome On Monday night the Colonels travelled to Selinsgrove and picked up an 87-77 win over the Crusaders of Susquehanna. Again, Morgan led the way with 33 counters, to end a famine on the road which goes back to the fateful December 18 game at Rider where they lost, 93-68. They lost two more consecutive road contests before returning home to embark on their present five-game winning streak. Six Hit for Double Figures Six of the Davismen his for double figures in the Stroudsburg rout. Alon"' with Morgan's 33, George Gacha had 15, Bob Turley and Fran Mikolanis 14 each, Bernie RRadecki 11, and Ron Roski 10. The Colonels jumped to a fast, 10-3 lead, which was threatened s er i o u s l y only once. Midway through the first half, the Warriors closed the gap to 22-18, but the locals took a time out, came back refreshed, and led by as many as 25 points for the remainder of the contest. Come from Behind Susquehanna took a !).4 lead early in Monday's game, but Morgan began to find the range and control the boards. He scored his 33 .points in the same manner as he did in the Stroudsburg game, twelve goals and nine fouls. Little George Gacha kept things humming by contributing 19 points, Fran Mikolanis continued his excellent play and tossed in 16 points. Tyler and Witiak were high for the C r u s a de rs with 27 and 20 points. Ray Hottle's r. ·will~~;·· c;~~e ---~ BOOKSTORE ~ VARIETY SHOP I I !!

Keith , Williams followed with a fine per- '. formance, exhibiting great control • over Jack Webb in his 2-1 decision. : "Skeet" now has eight wins and · on e draw on the season. Jim Ward pulled the shocker of the year when, with less than 30 · seconds remaining in the bout, he deliberately allowed Al Husband to · escape from the advantage to give the Marauder his sixth point. Ward trailed at that point, 6-3. It looked as though the Colonel co-captain would suffer his first setback in · 29 bouts, but the wily veteran grabbed Husband with blinding speed, got a takedown for two points and, seconds before the final' buzzer, was pressing for the pin. He got two points on the near-fall to win a pulse-pounding 7-6 decision. Marv Antinnes was superb in decisioning Walt Price, state college champion, in the 177-pound bout. After a scoreless opening round, he escaped for a .p oint and did a masterful job in preserving the 1-0 win. Dave Thomas met the Marauders' undefeated Steve Micio, long a Millersville standout. Neither man was able to get a margin and the bout ended in the first draw of Thomas' career, 2-2. Joe Morgan did a fine job against 147-pounder Ed Graham, but came out on the short end of a 3-2 decision . Joe Dombek moved down to take on 167-pound sensation Walt Kottmeyer and fell victim to a pin in 4:21. The final bout pitted Walt Glogowski against heavyweight Paul Baker. The score of the meet was 14-10 for Wilkes at that point and the 30 or more fans who drove down to see the vital meet were screaming for Walt to bring in the win, but Baker was a shade too fast. With only 58 seconds of the third round gone, Baker had Walt in serious trouble and recorded the pin while the capacity throng swarmed the mat and set up an ear-shattering cheer. Regardless of the outcome, every observer was heard to remark that there never had been a better meet. Excitement was high, competition fierce, spirit high. Leopards Shut Out in Warm-up In a warming up for W ednesday's meet, the matmen took a hazardous ride over the snowy route to Easton, where they met and easily defeated the Leopards of Lafayette, 26-0. Showing the effects of the wearying ride, the first two men, Bobby Morgan and Keith Williams, had some trouble, but both warmed up to their tasks and gave their opponents a taste of championship wrestling. Morgan took an 8-7 decision in a fine bout, Williams pulled two beautiful revedses in the final period to come out on top, 7-5. Jimmy Ward turned in the only fall of the afternoon when he beat Forty Fort's Bob Mack on a pin in 7:10. The win was his 28th without a loss. He led, 7-0, at the time of the fall, marking the sixth time he has held a man scoreless in eight bouts. Joe Morgan took a 6-4 decision from team co-captain Dick Pike in (continued on page 8) �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 6 Friday, February 14, 1~58 79 To Begin Student Teaching Classroom Internship For Future Educators At Four Local Schools i Monday, February 7, the education majors will begin student t:aching in the !~al grade. and high schools.

This affair is held in the spring semester for the purpose of initiating newly-elected officers of the Club. Because the officers, most of whom are seniors, begin student teaching in the spring, it has been found convenient to elect new officers who sta1t serving in the spring semester and continue in the fol lowing fall semester. This allows student teachers to devote more energy to their academic work and provides the club with officers who have time to carry out their duties more efficiently. This year the affair will be a covered dish supper. Dr. Eugene Hammer, advisor to the club and chairman of the Education Department, and Mr. Robert Bhaerman, elementary education advisor, will attend as guests of the Club. All members of the Education Club are invited and urged to be present. New officers elected were: president, Margaret Jones; vice-president, Beth Reed; executive chairman, Tom Ruggerio; secretary, Barbara Vose; corresponding secretary, Joan Llewellyn; librarian, Nancy Carroll. · Bernadine Vidunus and Moncey Miller were tied in the balloting for ,t reasurer of the organization.

(continued on page 6) �2 WlLICfS EDITORIAL Practice Makes Perfect · . There is a group of about twenty girls on campus who have, in the past, been referred to as "Wilkes' lost women of basketball." The main reason of this slighting title has been the poor record turned in by the Wilkes Colonelettes in the past three years. Last Tuesday the Colonelettes went to Marywood College in Scranton to play. After the game one of the referees sought out co-captain Jan Cornell and told her she thought that Wilkes needed more practice. We feel. that. when an unbiased official notices the lack of practice, everyone, including opposing players, coaches and students, must notice also. IS ONE HOUR ENOUGH? The girls can use the gym one hour a week. In our estimation, this is not enough practice ti.me for any team that plays intercollegiate sports, whether it be men's or women's athletics. · We are sure that if this situation, where lack of practice is obvious, existed with one of the men's teams, something would be done about it. Why hasn't something been done to get the gal hoopsters more ti.me? After all, they represent Wilkes College just as much as the men do when they go to other colleges to play. It is too late to do anything about the situation for this year, but we hope that something will be done about it when the plans are being made for next year's ti.me allotment in the gym. -mjk by Fred Roberts Since my friend Bruce Warshctl went to considerable trouble to respond and rather effectively to my article of several weeks ago on the New York subway strike, ,I am going to suspend my policy of l e ~ each column stand on its merits to devote this week's article to a re-defense of my views. Out of fairness this oolwnri is open to Bruce for final rebuttal in succeeding issues. Our disagreement can be traced at least in :part to a misunderstariding or perhaps a lack of sufl'iciettt emphasis. My position was ndt based upon the unmodified concltision that the Motormen's Benevolent Association is automatically elitjtled to separate bargaining rig'hts as a craft union, but rather tltiit since there is so much dissatisfaction with being in Quill's union and since the jobs covered ute so different then the workers probably should be allowed to reniain in their own unions. This seems like a hazy situation, but it is a crucial one because I am certainly not opposed to industrial unions per se. It is in particular situations that the principle comes into question. In this instance I tried to make clear ihat there is a considerably greater difference between a porter, a motorman, or an electrician working in the subway where tlie jobs are divided into these classes almost evenly numerically and a large :ii.umber of interchangeable production 1 i n e woflcers encompassing only a few sp~iiilizell workers. The difference between industry and transit workers seems as clear as that between industrial workers and railroaders who have had craft unions for years. This difference plus the discontent with Quill's TWU illustrated by its inability to get more than 67% in the repre~ sentation election compared with 92% in 1954 argue against horizantal representation. Bruce attempts to cast the election off as mitigated by "trying circumstances"-perhaps he means the worker u n re st at Quill's methods; and by arguing that only 51 o/o of the vote is required for a union shop under federal law. This second point is somewhat misleading because no union shop election has been required since 1951, the present 51 o/o requirement is only to determine which union is to represent the woi:,kets in the plant. There is also an essential dissimilarity between the union shop issue and that of exclusive representationi the union shop is demanded to p r e vent non-union workers from receiving the same union benefits that dues paying unionists get since the recognized union must bargain for all workers in a plant; on the other hand workers desiring to belong to sep: arate unions on a :r,articular job are willing to pay dues in return for bargaining services-the question is not whether to pay but to which union. The one demand is equitable, the other not. As to several other points that Bruce raised concerning my presentation of the facts I admit some degree of unconscious disservice, but I resent the implication of WILKES COLLEGE BEACON A newspaper published each week of the regular school year by and for the students of Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

The label of "private fact-finding panel" given by the New York Times of December 22, 1957, to the American Arbitration Association-<picked board may not have carried the import of Raskin's "a distinguished panel of impartial experts"; and the Authority was not acting illegally when it demanded sole union representation, but this is not inconsistent with my statement that the Authority had no legal sanction, it only points up the need for legislative clarification of New Yor,k labor law; so I think my outline of the facts was unemotionally fair. In conclusion I feel Bruce certainly has a right to his views and they may be justified, but there is also considerable room to feel that the majority should not always rule.

I t o m ak e 'i.1ot\1 wce!;-ends meet. r· by .Jim Eidam A discussion of the important topic of "Europe Today" was presented by the distinguished Camille Chautemps at Tuesday's assembly, which was sponsored by the college history chili. Mr. Chautemps has served as the French premier on four occasions. does not pose a particularly serious threat to the nation, however, because it is not a major political faction. Many of the ,p ublic who vote for Communists are not party affiliates; this is especially true of the factory workers of the nation. The speaker discussed attempts at forming a union among the nations of Europe and mentioned the numerous obstacles, such as Ianguage and economic differences, which will have to be overcome. The advantages of a united western Europe are quite obvious. He concluded by stating that the free nations have a "better idea to fi ght for" in the cold war, regardless of the recent scientific advances of Russia. If the free world shows neutral nations that it can g ive more welfare to them, it will be successful. I Mr. Chautemps related the imtance of America's interest in the nations of Europe. Ignoring the countries of Free Europe would create a "dent" in our future security. H e proceeded to present a pieture of the present situation in Europe. Germany, since World War II, has once again risen to be the most economically powerful nation on the continent. Its most important problem lies in the fact that it is a divided nation. France is currently faced with problems of economic inflation, and her exports are not great enough to be beneficial to her economy. She is also divided politically, evident in t he fact that her government is constantly changing its leadership. The French Communist party ENTERTAINS AT "GASLIGHT GASSER" I I I I The Crewne::ks, a quintet which spedalizes in popular music, appeared at the senior class "Gaslight Gasser" last Friday evening. The members of this quintet are sophomores and are active in the ''Collegians" . Among the songs which they sang during the intermission were: "At The Hop", "Wear My Ring", and In The Still Of The Night". The members shown above are, left to right: Boyd Hoa ts, Bruce Miles, Jerome Pauley, John Wasickan:n, and Bob Martin. EUROPEAN AIRFLIGHT Anachronism? Not really. 'Cause if Coke had been around in Caesar's day, Caesar would have treated himself to the sparkling good taste, the welcome lift of Coke! Caesar's motto- "! came, I saw, I eonquered." Pretty good motto for Coke too-the prime favorite in over 100 countries today! The American-European College Student Association has planned an airflight -to Europe this summer at student prices. The flight in DC-6's will leave Montreal, Canada (9 hours drive from New York City) on July 8, 1958, arriving in London, England, and will return September 3, 1958. The cost to members is only $330 per person, round trip. Subsequent European summer flights and Bermuda spring-time flights are also planned. They will also send a free list of student approved accommodations in Europe. I Free membership is open to all ' college students and teachers.

To Keep Record Clean by Jim Hennighan The Beacon sports staff was almost unanimous in its selection of the Athlete of the Week. Walt Glogowski won the honors with his speedy victory in the Colonels' 21st straight win. The 177-pounder, known as the "Tiger" to the followers of the Colonel mat team, pinned his opponent in the fabulous time of 32 seconds. The City College of New York 177-pound senior Harvey Werblood, never knew what happened to him, for Walt took him down with what is known as an "ankle sweep" and pinned him in nothing-flat. It was one of the fastest pins ever recorded in the history of Wilkes College. With this victory, Walt has run his string ,t o nine straight in dual meets, the string includes six victories this year and three at the end of last season. His wins so far this season were registered on four falls and two decisions which total up to 25 <points. Walt's overall three year won-lost record is 23 and 4. He had a 9-2 record last year and had an 8-2 record in his freshman year. The 26 points place him two behind Bobby Morgan as the two battle down to the wire for the individual point-scoring record, set last year by Jim Ward. The record seems destined to fall after only one year on the books. Ward scored 41 points last year to eclipse Bob Masonis' mark. Walt is a popular member of the Junior Class and is well known for his artistie ability. Most of the backdrops for the College's formal dances are the work of the "Tiger".

Last year, the Colonels defeated the Leopards handily here, 27-3. On Wednesday, however, they are to face their most serious threat in Millersville. The team has been pointing to this match all season as "the one" to win. All members of the squad are sharpening up with the expressed intention of avenging last year's 13-13 tie, the only blot on their brilliant three-season record. In preparing for the vital match, the Colonels turned in two recent decisive victories by 30-5 at City College of New York, and by 29-5 on Wednesday here over Lycoming. Bobby Morgan moved closed to the College scoring record when he turned in beautiful pins in both contests. The scrappy 1,2 3-pounder .pinned Sam Berkowitz of CCNY in 6 :56, and nailed Jack Fortin of Lycoming in 6:52 for his sixth pin in seven wins. He has now registered 33 points for the Colonels. Jim Ward took his 26th and 27th consecutive bouts with a 4-0 win at CCNY and a 4-1 win here on Wednesday. Skeeter Williams turned in a 4:16 fall in New York and pinned Lycoming captain Don Flick in 6 :59 to remain undefeated this year. Joe Morgan lost a tough 4-2 bout at City College, but bounced back to a 5 :03 fall over his Lycoming opponent. Dave Thomas pinned his Warrior foe in the identical time of 5:03, and halved that time at CCNY with a fall in 2 :40. Marv Antinnes nailed his City opponent in 2:40, then took a thrilling 7-4 win in the Lycoming battle. Walter Glogowski made one of the fastest falls in Wilkes history, pinning CCNY's Harvey Werblood in 32 seconds, but fell victim of a freak fall in the Lycoming meet in 2:22. Joe Dombek got a draw, 1-1, in New York, then electrified the fine Booster Night throng with an exciting 7-5 win over 230-pound John Joe, fullback of the Warriors' excellent football squad. For the Millersville match, a number of students are planning to make the trip after Wednesday afternoon classes. Those interested in driving or riding to the meet should see Dick Myers, who is attemptin;;- to organize a "Colonels' Caravan" for the contest.

George Morgan scored 17 points, Fran Mikolanis 11, in the easy win, which capped a successful "Booster Night" twin-bill. The Colonels now stand 7-2 in the Middle Atlantic Conference Northern Division, one game behind the idle Scranton Royals who lead the loop. Defeat Elizabethtown The Colonels continued their victorious ways on their home court by defeating Elizabethtown College, 78-62. Both teams started slowlv, but after seven minutes of play Wilkes forged ahead to ta;ke a lead they never relinquished. The halftime score showed the Colonels leading by thirteen .p oints, 39-26. Although they tried, the Colonels could not get the ball to George Morgan, the team's leading scorer Morgan was covered strongly all evening by Jim Chase and Bill Pensyl of the Blue Jays. The Davismen gained their halftime lead on the strength of Fran Mikolanis' brilliant one-hand shooting from the corner, and Bob Turley's long bullet shots which never seemed to miss the mark. At the start of the second half Elizabethtown started a full court press causing Wilkes to lose the ball several times. The -Blue Jays worked a fast break, and cut the Wilkes lead to five points. Fran Mikolanis and George Morgan got hot and Wilkes pulled away, never to be caught. Mikolanis scored 26 for the evening, followed by Gacha with 12, Morgan with 11, and Turley 10. The win moved the Colonels to within one and one half game of leading Scranton in the Middle Atlantic Conference Northern Division.

SWIMMERS TO VISIT LYCOMING,BUCKNELL Coach Clete Miller and his hardy mermen will be a busy crew during the coming week when they oppose two squads with little more experience than they themselves possess. Tomorrow the natators travel to Williamsport to be the third Wilkes squad to test a Warrior team this week. The Warriors have not had much more time than the Colonels to get into shape and lost their first match, against ·B ucknell, by a 5630 score. Next Tuesday, February 11, the Bisons will host the Colonels at Bucknell's new Freas-Rooke pool. Last year, Bob Latour, coach of the Bisons, had a dismal start in launching the sport. His charges lost their first three meets of the season, then copped the finale. Latour's splashers have shown improvement, however, with wins over Delaware, Franklin & Marshall, and Lycoming this season. They will seek their fourth win tomorrow at Swarthmore. The Colonels have had their troubles keeping a full roster of swimmers off the sick or injured lists. The team will count heavily on Carl Havira, who scored half of the 18 points registered in the first meet at Dickinson. Havira is 111 strong swimmer, with plenty of endurance and a good stroke. Coach Miller will be a probable entrant in several events, Pat Shovlin has turned in some good times in ·p ractice and took a second place in the Dickinson tilt, Phil Lear and !'forgan Davis are quickly rounding mto shape and are considered as threats.

WJLKES.COLLEGE BEACON 6 START STUDYING FOR FINALS, IT'S LATER THAN YOU THIMK by Marion J. Klawonn Because of the success of the lap-board article written a few weeks ago, we have, by popular demand (Two people asked me and I would like to take this opportunity to thank my mother and father for making the request), agreed to do a series of stories on campus issues and problems. This week's blurb is on the subject of study (see Websters dictionary for definition of this word). When sitting down for serious study, the first thing the student needs is, naturally, a chair. Now that we have that settled, on to the particulars. The second step in the art of studying is to have a test announced-never, never study at any other time. If you haven't any tests scheduled, quit now and go to the movies. What's the sense of filling your head with unnecessary details about the situation in Afghanistan when no one will ever know that you have such information-unless, of course, the subject should happen to pop up at a cocktail party in the near future. If it does, you will undoubtedly be the life of the party. The next thing on the agenda is check to make sure that your door is locked. This is very important because if you do lose control and fall asleep, no one will ever be the wiser. When your mother spots a light under your door at three in the morning, she will assume that you are studying aggressively. Actually you probably have been slumped over your desk fast asleep since 8:30, but don't ever admit it to anyone! . 'The proper equipment for effective study is, of course important. You should drag yourself into your private study room carrying a ~aper bag, two dozen pencils, a box qf ·p aper clips, and, of course, a l>ook, The paper bag should be "hung, open end up, on the wall so you can shoot the paper clips at it during the fifty minute break taken every hour by all good students. Now get out the clear, concise, well organized and complete set of notes you took during class. Next, try to separate the doodles from the subject matter. Under that carefully drawn sketch of Dr. Thatcher, (drawn the day he gave that surprise ( ? ) quiz that was announced last Wednesday - the day you cut class, remember?) we learn that the Civil War ended in 18-gosh, can't make out the rest of the date - it's not important iinyway (it sa.ys here!!!). When you have decided that your notes are useless, get out the bookye gods!!! - you left it in the caff (oops, pardon me The .Commons). Now what? Well, hack to the notes. · Most students who spend any time on studying their notes decide to submit lhem to Mr. O'Toole - that art work must be worth something. Now that you have wasted the entire evening (it must be at least nine o'clock by now) might as well go downstairs and watch television. They say that there are a lot of educational programs on these days. Who knows, maysbe there will be a program of filmed-on•thespot scenes from the Civil War. Unfortunately, your parents insist on watching "Your Hit Parade" and you can't talk them out of it (you did try, didn't you?) When you take the test just remember that old saying - an old fool can ask more questions than a wise man can answer. This should make you feel better when you get the paper back in a few months. But don't worry, you can bring your mark up on the final. 111111111111111111111111111111111111111 II III IIII GLAMOUR CONTEST (continued from page 1) Jackie Oliver Jackie Oliver, a Spanish major and Kingston resident, was elected Cinderella in her freshman year.

Instead of the paper receiving help from a large number of sources on the campus, we have largely depended upon a handful of faithful staff members to see us through every week. When the time comes to apply for the top positions on the publication, however, we receive letters of application from people who drop in to say hello occasionally or from people we have never heard about. Letter to the Editor .•• Madam Editor: In the last issue of the Beacon (a long three weeks ago) our Roving Chimera, Fred Roberts, reviewed the recent subway strike in New York City. He drew two conclusions in his article.

The issue of representation by a college newspaper.

WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Bill Zdancewicz Welcome! Welcome to the new students who have joined our ivy surroundings and welcome to the new semester. With open arms (and minds) we enter another round of studies, with the anticipation of rising to success by the final bell. In any event, we hope the change will be better. Beginning with this issue, the Beacon's face will be changed a little. A new column, hereafter known as The Beacon Monitor, will present bits of information about campus personalities, activities, quotes, wit, and other items of interest. Our thanks to Steve Poleskie for designing the appropriate masthead for this column. The abstract design represents one student passing on 'info' to another person, and the reporter on hand to get all the low-down. Thanks once again Steve. Good Times The Winter Carnival is over but the memories linger on, and we might add, pleasant memories. Student Council reports that participation in the events that were scheduled was very good and everyone se~med to have have enjoyed himself. Portions of the Carnival were televised and shown over WBRE-TV the same night as the Carnival. (By the way) - Several weeks before the Carnival, the Student Council met and they had a long discussion as to the selection of a suitable site for the affair. Finally, the selection was down to two: Pocono Dude Ranch and P.M.I. The debate went from deciding on one, then the other, and back again. Pro and con features were mentioned for both, but P.M.L was declared the winner by one vote. (Funny though . the other resort had all the snow! Oh well, snow-K!)

With three varsity 11 d d d sports working. the b alloting was we - ivi e , all three teams had representatives in the running, but for sheer performance, Carl led the list. In the swimming team's first encounter after the sport had lain dormant for nine years, Havira led the undermanned Colonels in a losing cause. He scored 60% of the team's 18 points, missed a first place finish by a scant four-tenths of a second in his second race. His point total came on secondplace finishes in the 220-yard free style, 200-yard butterfly, and 200yard breast stroke events. In the 220, Carl finished second hehind Dicikinson's Mulligan, one of ·1e best freestylers in the Middle , .tlantic Conference. In the butter,y, he had the Colonels cheering wildly when he led all the way, · but he pulled a cramp in the last length and missed first by a stroke. Swimming in his third match of the day, the pluc,ky natator finished second in the breast stroke. Carl is an active letterman at Wilkes, having put in two busy s e a s o n s on the Colonel soccer squad. He got his training in athletics at Philadelphia's Girard Col- lege where he was captain of the swimming team, played on the soccer team, and placed his name on the school honor roll several times. His name still stands in the Girard record books. He holds ,pool records in the 150-yard medley relay and the 300-yard individual medley relay. Now in his second year at Wilkes, the secondary education major has been honored twice for his work on the soccer field. He was named to the Middle Atlantic All-Conference squad, honorable mention, and received special mention on th e Tri ..State team. He received four swimming letters at Girard, one in baseball, two in soccer at Wilkes and appears a sure bet to get another "W" for his splendid contributions to the swimming squad. _______ INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL SCHEDULES National League Feb. 4-7:00 ,Club 20 vs. Neki Hoki Nifty Five vs. Blackhawks 8:00 Rejects vs. Civ/Vets Meathounds vs. Collegians Gold American League Feb. 6-7:00 Collegians Blue vs. Phonies Gore Hall vs. Faculty Five 8 :00 Outcasts vs. 7 Plus 1 D.R.L.H. vs. Ashley Aces American League Feb. 10-7 :00 Collegians Blue vs. Gore Hall Outcasts vs. Faculty Five 8:00 j Ashley Aces vs. Phonies · D.R.L.H. vs. 7 Plus 1 Selody Leadmg Scorer th Activity in e Spring Bowling season got off to a fast start on Sunday night when the Pinbusters, led by Dan Lewis and Emil Petrasek, rolled to a 4-0 victory over the seemingly well-named Losers.

M. ALL THREE SQUADS IN RECENT ACTIVITY r Since the last i s s u e of the Beacon, all three varsity teams saw action in three contests. Two were successful, the third suffered defeat. Cagers Snap Back · Bouncing back from a disastrous, road trip, the Colonel cagers toyed with the Juniata Indians for most of the first half of their January 11 game, but were forced to snap to attention when the Indians closed the gap to one point, 32-31, two minutes before the end of the first half. They won easily, however, 81-63. Swimmers Submerged The powerful, experienced Red Devils of Dickinson showed no mercy in drubbing the green Colonnel squad by a 67-18 score. Wilkes has not had varsity swimming for nine years. After additional training and more reasonable opposition, the team could well give promising signs of future greatness. Matmen Roll On Making up for a close, 19-15 win last year, John Reese's sensational grapplers gave their fans easy breathing as they swept seven consecutive bouts and drew in one to tamp East Stroudsburg STC by a 31-2 score and run their unbeaten streak to 20. Jim Ward took a 5-3 decision for his 25th straight dual win, Bobby Morgan turned in his fifth win on an 8:07 fall (his fourth pin), and Dave Thomas and Walt Glogowski turned in falls at 6.:52 and 6:04, respectively, to remain unbeaten.

Parting Praise "fun's Parting Shots" appears for the last time in this issue of the Beacon since its author, Tom Myers, will graduate at the end of the semester. We feel that the Beacon is losing its greatest asset in Tom because as Business Manager, past editor, and loyal staff member, he has contributed more to this publication in the past two years than we believed we could expect from any individual. Tom and his assistants have built up the· Business and Circulation staffs to function more efficiently than they have throughout the past several years by performing their duties promptly. Besides managing the Beacon's financial responsibility, writing his weekly column, and working on the side this semester, Tom has gone out of his way to help us with the mechanical make-up of the paper every Thursday and Friday at Schmidt's Printery. We could not possibly find the space to list all of the ways Tom has assisted the paper during the past two years, and we could not possibly express our true feelings of gratitude to him. We are happy for Tom that he will receive his degree and will be able to further his education, but we are sorry to see him leave Wilkes College and the Beacon. -Jan THE LAST LAP (continued from page I) that you have everything - don't forget to get that eraser while you're at it - pick up everything and start reading the exam. Settled? Good. After fifteen minutes your back feels like it's breaking from bending over the board. Try crossing your left leg over your right one to 13et the board at a good angle. You say your' leg went to sleep? Well cross the right one over the left now and try that. ·· Everything should be fine now, unless you happen to get a twitch in the middle of your back. If this happens, the best remedy is to get up and retrieve that question sheet that fell off the board and slithered half way across the gym floor a few minutes ago (it's time you were on the next question anyhow). If you are the loquacious type, you may have the misfortune to need another blue book. Sit on the first one so that it will not slide, slither, or slump to the floor in a heap of sawdust. Don't forget to hand it in when you are finished! Remember the night before, when you were cramming and moaning because you had loafed all semes~ ter? You said, "He would never ask anything on that!" He did, didn't he? Well anyhow, arise and hand everything in (including your resignation). Don't try to stand up straight, just hobble, bent over from the waist, out of the gym.

This affair has been held annually between semesters to give the students of Wilkes a chance to relax and to enjoy the Pocono Mountains. For your enjoyment this year, an extensive program has been arranged; to insure success, however, everyone should participate in the planned program. With your cooperation this Winter Carnival can be the most successful ever held by our student body. Individual integrity can often be lost in a crowd. The Council, therefore, has agreed that while no ultimatum of any kind concerning conduct is necessary, the members will co-operate with th e chaperones in preventing any incidents which might require disciplinary action. The weather in the Poconos is always unpredictable; therefore, we urge everyone to be particularly careful while driving to and from the Pocono Mountain Inn.

A~ N. KRUGER NOTICE The next issue of the BEACON will appear on the first Friday of next semester, January 31, 1958. by Bill Zdancewicz The third edition of The Directory of American Scholars, published recently, contains the biography of Wilkes' noted Director of Forensics and Associate Professor of English, Dr. Arthur N. Kruger. Known for his work in the field of debate, Dr. Kruger has coached the Wilkes debate teams over a ten-year span to a record of 350 victories in 500 debates. The debaters have gained individual honors over the years, as well as bringing many honors to the college and the community. Among the many tournaments won by debaters under Dr. Kruger's tutelage are: Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Notre Dame, Princeton, Bucknell, District Seven, and the State Championship of Pennsylvania, the latter of which his current team holds. His honors of debating coach also include the fact that his teams have regularly qualified in the seven-state area of District Seven for the National Tournament held Dr. Arthur N. Kruger annually at West Point. In addition, during 1955, Wilkes placed second in the nation and last year, both team members ,p laced among the top ten debaters in the country. Dr. Kruger received his A ~B. degree in 1936 from the University of Alabama; and later received his Ph.D. degree, in 1941, at Louisiana State University. Before joining the faculty of Wilkes College, he spent four years in the United States Army, serving as an officer in the Signal Intelligence Service and in the Office of Strategic Services. Prior to his army service he taught· at North Carolina State University. Many articles, written by Dr. Kruger, have been published on such topics as language, logic, and debating. These works have appeared in various journals, including The Pennsylvania Speech Annual and The Bulletin of the Debating Association of Pennsylvania Colleges. Several articles have been c onside re d required reading for students of public address and debating. At present, Dr. Kruger is writing a text book on debating, which will be published by the McGraw-Hill Corporation. The Wilkes professor is currently editor of the annual Bulletin of the Debating Association of Pennsylvania Colleges and has served as past president of that organization. His v a r i o u s professional memberships include: the National Council Teachers of English; the American and Eastern Forensic Associations; and Phi Delta Kappa, the National Professional Educational Fraternity. Three years ago Dr. Kruger's biography appeared in the fifth edition of Who's Who In The East. Dr. Kruger is married to the former Eleanor Weisbrot. They have two cbildren: Robert, 11; and Mary, 5; and reside at 579 Warren A venue, Kingston.

ON CAMPUS [the lead roles of the defendent, by Bill Zdancewicz Leon~rd Vole and Mrs. Vole, re- by Fred Roberts THE ROVING CHIMERA A few weeks ago I had an opportunity to observe not only at first hand but in the first person the subway strike in New York City, and despite the remarkable friendliness and camaraderie of the subwayites, I then agreed wholeheartedly with the New York Times when it thundered editorially at the recalcitrant strikers. The Motormen's ,Benevolent Association in concert with other independent craft unions had walked out demanding separate recognition from the New York City Transit Authority, a three-man city-state agency that operates the subways. The Authority had refused to deal with any but the Trans p o rt Workers Union of Mike Quill. This issue of craft or industrial union and consequent sole recognition came to a head in November when a private fact-finding panel supported the Authority policy even though Authority intervention in labor relations has no legal sanction under New York State law. The craft unions struck when it was most effective - during the Christmas retailing season - the. department stores are said to have lost over 2 million dollars a day during the eight days of the strike. Governor Harriman and Mayor Wagner, both in a curious position because they get considerable political support from union members, refused either to deal with the issues of the strike until the motormen went back to work or to enforce the state law against strikes by civil employees by firing the strikers. But, because of tremendous public pressire, they had to do something and Mayor Wagner imprisoned some of the strike leaders and sent threatening letters to the strikers themselves, - but to little effect. Upon assurances by Republican leaders seeking political capital that the TWU's bargaining monopoly would be investigated by the state legislature, the motormen went back to work. On that day a representation election was held and Quill's TWU could muster only 10,029 of the 32,329 eligible votes or 67% of the votes cast as compared to 92% in 1954. The strike raises several important issues, .p articularly since the ineffective enforcement of the Condon-Wadlin anti-strike law led to the threat of another strike by Quill himself. Considering the MBA's position more objectively than I had, I am inclined to agree that men should TUXEDOS TO RENT Special Pric:. To Studata 198 SO. WASHINGTOlf n. BAUM'S have the right to belong to the union they want despite the inconvenience it would cause the Authority. The various jobs in the subway ranging from porter to motorman to electrician are different enough to argue against lumping them together under one horizontal union, particularly since there is such strong sentiment against it. The second question concerns the right of the subway workers to strike. The strike was settled without applying the anti-strike law, but the inaction of Governor Harriman and Mayor Wagner, nevertheless, called into view its inherent ineffectiveness - Harriman even went so far as to call it impractical. This failure of law gives me considerable misgivings, but the more basic question is, is it a good law in the first place one that merits enforcement? The theory is that a .p art of the people should not be allowed to strike against the state, which is all the people, because necessary civil processes would break down. It has been tacit ·public policy since Calvin .Coolidge's rigorous denunciation of the famous Boston police strike that every means would be used to prevent or break a civil servant strike. I do not accept in total, this principle which is in fact a denial to a selected group of an effective means to achieve its rights. There is no essential difference, at least in this case, between civil servants and any other worker who serves the public. Trainmen, longshoremen, and truckers, with certain restrictions may use the strike as an economic weapon, and they all seem as n e c e s s a r y as subway workers. I realize that transit workers are included under the law because they are legally civil servants, but I would advocate a much more restrictive definition including only the most essential civil employees such as •police, firemen, perhaps postal employees, and of course, elected officials. I propose simply, the removal of the onus of illegality from some types of government employee strikes. The senior class will present their third annual Beard Dance on Friday, January 31, in the college gymnasium. Plans are being made to make this forthcoming affair representative throughout, of the gay nineties. Indications around campus are that the men of Wilkes are really Ronnie Tremayne letting the "fuzz" grow, in hopes of getting in on one of the four prizes to be awarded. Judging of beards will be done in four categories: best combination beard and moustache, best moustache, best beard, and best "peach fWlZ". Don Wilkinson is general chairman for this affair. Assisting Don are: Rita Matiskella, tickets; Mary Mattey, decorations; Ed Kotula, program and band; Ron Tremayne, prizes; Clarence Michael, refreshments; Don Wilkinson, judges; Bill Zdancewicz, publicity. spectively.

Individual student tickets, at the price of one dollar apiece, will be on sale at the college bookstore and may be purchased from the following committee: Ray Litman, chairman; Betsy Hoeschele, Elizabeth ("Mugs") Cobourn, Pat Ide, and members of the cast. Student activity passes will be honored Friday and Saturday evenings, however, only one ,p erson will be admitted per pass. College students with dates from outside the college will have to buy one of the dollar tickets. Adults planning to attend the play will be admitted with season tickets, which will be available at the door. The art department, under the direction of Mr. Catha! O'Toole, is preparing the various backdrops to be used in the production. Music will be furnished by an orchestra directed by Mr. John Detroy.

We felt that since Poleskie has had several of his productions in national magazines, we were doing him an injustice by publishing cartoons created by national agencies. To date he has contributed an amusing bit of his talent to the paper for the past several weeks, and many students have informed us that they enjoy this new addition to the publication. Poleskie is one example of the large supply of talent which we have available on campus. Since the Beacon is a student publication, we welcome any creative ability suitable for a college newspaper, and we encourage students to submit their work to us. We can be reached at the Beacon office every Tuesday afternoon or on Fridays at noon to discuss new ideas for features or other additions to this paper. -Jan by Fred Roberts Early this fall young Dr. Goheen, the new president of Princeton University, issued in one of his first official actions what is destined to be one of the most controversial statements of his career. He withdrew the sanctions and privileges granted by the University to Father Hugh Halton, Catholic chaplain at Princeton; explaining, "Under claims of advancing the pursuit of truth he (Halton) has resorted to irresponsible attacks upon the intellectual integrity of faculty members. For tactics of this sort, no university devoted to freedom of rational inquiry and debate need make a home." Enough time has passed to al-1 low an objective appraisal of both sides. Hugh Halton, a Dominican priest with an Oxford degree, was appointed in 1952 to replace .t he respected Roman Catholic Chaplain who had held his post for 25 years without an iota of criticism. But, -Fathe.r Halton was not so amenable; he soon became a very vociferous critic of the whole Princeton climate. Behind his attacks lay a sincere .b elief that Princeton was destroying the Catholic ideals of his charges - doubts have long found fertile grounds at Princeton. Ha1ton was no demagogue although he claimed several times that "the teachings of some professors at Princeton are doing more harm than all the writings of Karl Marx taken together," that Jacques Maritain the noted scholar must not be allowed to speak in his chapel because he "does not have a very sound philosophical background," and that Princeton is a center of "moral and political subversion." He made these rather extreme statements and many others not for personal aggrandizement, but because he really believes them and felt they should be voiced. Father Halton resembles in many ways the medieval religious zealot. He assailed from the pulpit and in lectures throughout the East the very foundations of the Liberal Establishment. He very pungently attacked Dr. Stace, an atheistically inclined Princeton philosopher, as a dangerous teacher of metaphysics, and Dr. Elderkin, a harmless old ~cholar _who had written some anh-Cathohc pamphlets. Dean Taylor, the revered head of the Graduate School and a Catholic, complained to Halton's Bishop about his ridiculous charges. The Bishop offered no . satisfaction. The crowning indignity from the administration's point of view was Halton's criticism of the invitation to Alger Hiss to speak on campus. President G o h e e n had Halton "stripped of any official standing in Princeton University," to prevent his further use of Princeton connections to draw an audience and to provide the Catholic students at Princeton with a more acceptable chaplain. The action is not so extreme as it sounds for Halton continues as director of the Aquinas Chapel on campus, and it may be a long time before he is removed. His removal has been blown up all out of proportion by conservatives seeking ammunition, but it cannot be denied that it was poor public relations on Princeton's part. It denies the very principles that the university is built on - the freedom to hold dissenting, unpopular, even illogical views and to be held to answer only to argument, no unreasoning force. Halton could easily have been answered .b y calm, logical argument as was his dessert, but he should --PERS Of . - .-,SJUN Friday, December 13, 1957 1ll1111111111 . s -- lll111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Student members of the Wilkes I Chapter of the Junior Chamber of Commerce assisted the Jaycees last I Saturday in their annual collection for the "Orphans Shopping Tour".

COLONELETTES DEFEATED by Jim Eidam The site for the annual Winter Carnival was selected at a recent meeting of the college's Student Council. ·Bo.b Morris, general chairman of the Winter Carnival, informed the group that four sites were available to hold the winter outing. They were: El Pocono Dude Ranch, Mount Airy, Twin Lakes, and Pocono Mountain Inn. After considerable discussion as to which site best suited the needs of the group, Ron Tremayne moved the Pocono Mountain Inn he accepted. The motion was s e c o n d e d by Pat Sanders, and voting by the group passed the motion, eight to six. Pocono Mountain Inn will be contacted by the Student Council in order that further arrangements can be made. The Winter Carnival will be held on ·January 23, 1968. Everyone has heen asked to cooperate to make this affair a success. In addition to matters pertaining to the Winter Carnival, the group was informed .that plans for the student showing of "Around the World in Eighty Days" failed to materialize. ·President Ed Kotula reported to the group on the success of the recent All College dance and commended the various committees for the work they had done. Plans were furthered for another Student Council-sponsored dance, scheduled for January 4. Various committees were appointed.

That mark, coupled with the last two wins of last year, equalled Wilkes' record for consecutive wins at six. J.n Wednesday's game, Morgan and Turley both shared the bulk of the scoring and waited until the second half to do it. With eight minutes remaining in the game, Morgan went out on fouls with 23 points on six goals and 11 fouls. Turley had 14 on 6 goals and four free throws.

Last Saturday night, in the nightcap of the year's first sports doubleheader, the cagers finished strong to whip a fine Dickinson squad .by a 96-81 count. Gacha was the high man in that contest with 27 points, Morgan had 26, Bernie Radecki hit for 18, and Fran Mikolanis chipped in with 16. The sensation for the visitors was Wilkes-Barre's little John Valenti, who popped in twelve beauties from the field to lead the Red Devils with 24 points. The 6-7 junior was assisted by Ray Weaver who tallied 19 ipoints in the losing cause. With the exception of Wednesday's loss to the Bombers, :the Wilkes team has shown the finest of offensive plays, are sharp on defense, and lack only some control of their opponents' boards to run this season into the finest ever seen at Wilkes. The prospects for future seasons are equally bright with such sophomore standouts as Bernie Radecki (see Athlete of the Week story on page 4), Fran Mikolanis, and the great little "Mr. Outside", George Gacha.

OPEN LETTER To Wilkes Students Dear Students: Thank you for your support in helping us complete our two recent surveys concerning the possibility of sponsoring a dance with a "bigname" band. We have discovered that a great majority of those students who took the time to complete the surveys are in favor of having a "big-name" band. We hope to be able to use this information to its greatest advantage at some time in the future. However, we find it impossible, at this time, to sponsor such a dance which would r e q u i r e financial backing far beyond our immediate class treasury. .Nevertheless, it has been agreed that our class has .built the foundation for such an affair. We now intend to submit this information and the results of our surveys to the Student Council with certain recommendations that may enable that organization, with the cooperation of other groups on campus, to combine enough financial backing to make this project economically feasible. We sincerely hope that we will be able to create enought interest to make this dance possible within this school year. .Respectfully yours, The Senior Class Ronald Tremayne President 11111111111111111111111 I I Ill I II I I IIIII 1111111 Ill --PERSONALS-111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Steve Poleskie spent his Thanksgiving vacation in New York City as guest of Miss Allegra Kent, who recently was promoted to soloist for the New York City Ballet. While in New York, Steve also visited Russ Evans, who attended Wilkes last year, and his hrotper, Ronnie, who is a dancer in My Fair Lady. Steve also saw Noel Coward's Nude With a Violin. Kay O'Donnell of the alumni office staff went to New York City the weekend ,preceding Thanksgiving to attend the christening of her first niece. Mr. and Mrs. Barry Leinbach attended the Army-Navy game in Philadelphia Municipal Stadium. A younger brother of Barry is a cadet at West Point. Leinbach is a senior majoring in secondary At a recent meeting of the Retailing Group, Beverly Gates was elected secretary for the coming year and Dave Roebuck, treasurer. Shirley Lisman, senior psychology major, attended the Army~Navy game November 30 as guest of her pinmate, Lt. John Yuscavage, an Annapolis graduate. Al Kislin, a '57 graduate and a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania, visited campus during his Thanksgiving recess. A birthday ,p arty in honor of Robbie Stevens, junior English major, was held November 27 at the home of Jackie Oliver, Sprague A venue, Kingston. -Classmates attending the ·p arty were: Maryan Powell, Mary Frances Swigert, Alison Rubury, Marian Laines, Marilyn Davis, Marty Wagner, Walter French, Gail MacMillan, Fred Malkemes, Keith Williams, Jim Ward, George Richards, and Roy Morgan. Senior elementary student Deborah Deisher visited friends and relatives in Haddon Heights and Brooklawn, New Jersey, during the Thanksgiving recess. Ellen Kemp, junior elementary major from Sea Cliff, New York, was house guest of Karen Karmilowicz, junior secondary education student from Kingston, over the Thanksgiving holiday. Janice Schuster Lehet, Beacon editor, spent last weekend in Binghamton, New York, visiting her sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Mills. Another Mystery Solved After an absence of several days, Sam W eckesser-Gore (or Gore-_Weckesser) turned up at the Bookstore early Monday mornmg. It seems that Sam, in display of independence, had gone off on a tear. Perhaps he bit off a little more than he could ?~ew, _fo_r he came back a little chewed up himself. Milhe G1ttms, Dave Vann and George Elliot (Sam's mouthpiece") befriended the wayward waif and provided him with the services of a physician. New Diet Said physician confirmed the suspicion that Sam's ear had been host to a canine's choppers and provided the necessary medicants. The doctor also cleared up another mystery - Sam does not have worms! . _Since Sam is an independent cuss, he pays the price for his mdependence. His eating habits are irregular and when he eats, he overloads. Sam's stomach is like anyone else's, when he overloads it, it rebels. Therefore, the doctor recommended an occasional milk of magnesia, to make him "feel good again". Who Won? Sam had no comment when asked about the particulars of his altercation; he simply shambled off with a disdainful look that said: "You should see the other guy!" Dorm Plans Feast Thanks to the prowess of a couple of Gore Hall's woodsmen, 111:e _men of Gore Hall are going to have a Venison Party in the Dmmg Commons before the Christmas vacation. The two Nimrods are Larry Pugh, senior C & F major from Hunlocks Creek, and his roommate Ken Evans, sophomore Electrical Engineering student from West Pittston. Each shot a four-point buck on opening day. The scene of the kill was Arnold's Notch, near Red Rock. Larry got his at 7:15 a.m. and Ken downed his about 1 p.m. Each buck weighed a,bout 140 pounds. Welcome Back We're happy to welcome the smiling face of Mrs. Jean Jones back to the Finance Office. She had worked there for many years and has returned following a long absence. Also we'd like to urge Mrs. Joan Ostrowski to get well soon, following an operation at the Mercy Hospital. Joan also works in Finance.

Pete was selected for his sparkling line ,p lay in ,t he Moravian game. The six-foot, 176-pound guard is the first freshman to get the award this year and is also the first line- man to be honored. His fierce defensive play stopped several of the Greyhounds' backs before they could get scoring drives under way and his fine offensive drive opened gaping holes in the Hounds' line ,t o enable Colonel ballcarriers to run through. The Clarks Summit native has been a 60-minute man in the last eight games, and played all but two minutes of the season opener at Hofstra; a total of 536 minutes out of the 540 ·p layed by the team throughout the season. Pete came to Wilkes highly recommended by former Wilkes Pete Winebrake (continued on page 4) iwilkes Whips Warriors Ion Wednesday, 74 - 59, ~~!""ing Bombers 1 !f!~~ The Colonels waited ten years to do it, then went about it in very thorough fashion, trimming the Lycoming Warriors, 74-59, Wednesday night at Williamsport. "Big George and Little George" (Morgan and Gacha, that is) handled the bulk of the scoring with 22 and 16 points. Fran MikoJanis followed closely with 14 and Eddie Birnbaum added 11 points to his usual all-round fine team leadership. The Colonels now have two wins in their first two games of the season. Last Monday evening, several hundred fans were present for the cage season's opener. They were joyous and they had something to be happy about; their Colonels were playing top-notch basketball, winning 100-87. During the first half most of the scoring was done from the outside and the corners. Ithaca was strong on rebounds, forcing the Colonels to make their first shots count, which they did with amazing accuracy. Bernie Radecki kept shooting and hitting from the right corner, George Gacha threw his tantalizing one-hander from the left, while Fran. Mikolanis picked up the loose • balls and swished them through the . h oop. Ed Birnbaum directed the attack; George Morgan kept the Bombers i busy guarding him, allowing the outside men to shoot. Mainly through the efforts of Ithacan Dick Slomkowski, the halftime score was knotted at 45-45. Slomkowski scored 18 in that half from all angles and ended with 26 for the night. In the first few moments of the second half, Wilkes took a fivepoint lead and stayed in front throughout the game. The Colonels' accuracy was undiminished and George Morgan got loose under the boards and began hitting. He scored 22 points in the second half and ended with 28. Bernie Radeciki had 22, Gacha scored 19, Fran Mikolanis 18, and Birnbaum hit five out of eight attempts for 10. Bob Turley, who played only a few minutes, chipped in with three points, two of which put the Colonels at the century mark. AL-ley Chatter Overheard in the locker-room: George Gacha standing, dripping . wet after his shower, on the scales: "Look coach, I lost six pounds getting into shape for the season."

COLONELETTES SET FOR OPENING GAME The Wilikes College Colonelettes will travel to College Misericordia next Wednesday night to open their '57-'58 basketball campaign. The girls have been practicing hard and have what looks like the winning combination for this season. Although the gals have never managed to turn the tables on 'Misery', the team feels that there is no time like the present for an upset. The Colonelettes' chances for a good season have been bolstered by the return of six of last year's starters. Adding to the team's strength is a group of ten enthusiastic freshmen recruits. The guards, as in the past, are rthe strong point of the team. Led by stellar guard Barbara Federer, they will use the man-to-man technique in trying to hold the oppositions' score down. Returning guard Karen Karmilowicz and freshman Ellie Lazarus are probable starters. Mary Darling, Elsie Ohnrnach and Sharon Parnett will pro.b ably see plenty of action as guards during the game. Several freshmen forwards have c a u s e d keen competition for starting positions for the Colonelettes' offense. The frosh, Nancy Davies, Sylvia Trewern and Beverly Major, have been playing hard and fast in practice anq hav~ ho~ of doing some . scoring ~t . Misen""::. cordia. · Returning forwards Janet Cornell, Grace Sheasley, Bernadine Vidunas and Marion Klawonn have had to do a "little extra" in order to hold their -p ositions on the team. Marion was last year's individual game high scorer with 15 points against M a r y w o o d in a losing cause. With plenty of rei:;erves and high spirits, the Colonelettes should turn in a creditable job. PETE WINEBRAKE (continued from page 3) backfield ace "Pinky" Pinkowski, now head coach at Clarks Summit. While at the upstate school, Pete won three letters in football, played in the Lions Club "Dream Game", was All-Scholastic in Lackawanna County, and received Honorable Mention for All-State honors. He prepared for college by following a college prep course at Cla1,ks Summit and is enrolled at Wilkes in the ,B usiness Administration course. He lives in Butler Hall. Pete is also known as quite a baseball player, having won two letters while catching for the high school team. He expects to try out for a posi,tion on the Colonels' nine when Spring rolls around.
