I �2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, November 22, 1957 II III II IIII111111111111111111 III IIIll II II IIIIIII EDITORIAL Nice Going Congratulations to the school spirit committee and the students of Wilkes for the fine demonstration of enthusiasm shown at the Scranton-Wilkes game Saturday. Even though the team was behind, the students kept cheering until the final gun went off, something that very few of ua have ever seen here at Wilkes. The lack of Scranton students at the game was surprising to us since the game was a home contest for the Royals. We may not have beaten Scranton on the football field, but we certainly out-cheered them in the ·stands. -mjk Lellers lo lhe Editor Dear Editor: The sidewalks on South Franklin and South River Streets will accomodate four persons walking abreast, no more. Of course, one realizes that the students at Wilkes College, going to and from classes, are much engrossed in their subject matters just learned or a:bout to ;be learned. However, one is inclined to think that if they shook themselves out of their deep concentrations long enough for the one on the end to "break ranks" to allow a mere passer-by to proceed without trespassing on someone's lawn or going into the street, it would be a very fine idea. There are many exceptions to the rule, of course, and as such no criticism is directed. A splendid impression toward the co I I e g e would accrue, were all of its student body to observe the rules of common courtesy on the ,public streets - and sidewalks. N eighborhood Resident Ed.

Our knowledge of the finer points of football may not be up to that of our grid "mentor", but we recognize irrationality when we see it · MORE FROM THE CRYSTAL BALL At longer range this time, we predict that the forthcoming Winter Carnival will be Wilkes' last. It will be quietly eliminated in 1959, with possibilities of retaining it virtually nil Therefore, we urge the Student Council to get busy with their planning for this year's Carnival and make it the best ever. Show the Administration by the conduct of this affair that the students deserve the responsibility of having it annually. Should these measures fail we suggest that a Spring Carnival be attempted in 1959. Such a plan would eliminate some of the main objections to a winter affair - the early nightfall, bad weather and dangerous roads. THIS IS THE END This is it. This is the final, absolutely last, concluding tale you will read about satellites in this column. It is reported that the Russians are attempting to develop a new breed of miniature sheep. When they have ten of them, the tiny sheep will be put in a rocket and fired out in space to orbit around the earth. So what? It will be the herd shot around the world. That's it. Please don't tell us any more, unless it's a good one. LET'S PICK ON TEXAS Since we've worked Sputnik to death, about all that's left is America's old standby - Texas. It seems that there was a lady sheepherder down in Texas. One day while she was dyeing some blankets in her yard, a careless sheep came gamboling along and fell into the tub of blue dye. She picked him out and he ran off, none the worse for his adventure, but decidedly blue. An oilman came along and saw the azure sheep. Thinking it natural and desirous of another few million (He wanted to buy Las Vegas), he offered her $10,000 for the beast. She took the offer and gave the sheep to the man. With an eye to a quick profit herself, she decided to dye another of her flock. Well, she sold that one, and another, and another, 'til today she is the biggest lamb dyer in Texas. WHAT POSITION DOES HE PLAY? We asked the little woman if she would like to see the Hunchback of Notre Dame on Saturday night. To which she replied: "No. You've been to one game already today."

Art Tambur was ithe only Wii'kes ball-carrier who could pick up any yardage worthy of mention with 28 yards in 11 carries. Ron Palazzi picked u•p five in four carries. Wozniak and Rescigno were nailed for losses on several pass attempts and Wilkes ended up in the red on ground gaining. On the ground, the Scrantonians p o u n d e d out 261 yards while holding Wilkes to minus twelve John Podkul, senior fullback, led the ground attack with 71 yards in 14 carries, followed closely by Joe Belluci with 68 in 9 tries. After a well-played, scoreless first period, the Royals capitalized on a bad breaik when Ron Rescigno fumbled a pass from center and was nailed by Ned Panfile for a safety in his own end zone. Moments later, the ,R oyals scored a six-pointer on a beautiful twoman 90-yard run. Podikul started on his own ten, skirted his right end for 35 yards where he was hit by two Colonels. He flipped the ball neatly into the waiting hands of sophomore Tom Shopple who raced untouched for the TD. Just before the end of the first half, quarterback Vince Cesare threw to Shopule for a 62-yard touchdown pass play. The extra point was missed again, but the Royals led at halftime, 14-0. Early in the ,t hird period, the deadly arm of Cesare found open receiver Belluci and connected for a 22-yard touchdown pass. The extra point was good, •S cranton led 21-0 at the close of the third period. Third-string quarterback Mike Melnik, late in the fourth quarter, swept his left end on a lkeeper play and rolled ten yards to the final score of the game. The Colonels tried 21 passes and completed five for 86 yards to bring their total yardage for the af,ternoon to 73. Hoopsters Drill Hard, Open Season on Dec. 2 With Ithaca Bombers The Wilkes cagers are busily w h i p p i n .g into shape for what promises to be a banner year on the court. The men look to be in the pink of condition and coach Eddie Davis is -p utting them through extensive drills in ,p reparation for the first home match on December 2. This game will be with Ithaca. They will play Lycoming on December 4 at Williamsport. The next home game will be on Saturday night, the seventh of December, as the second part of a sports doubleheader. The wrestling squad will meet the Greyhounds of Moravian for the first :time at 6:30 in the opener, the cage contest will be at 8 :00 with the Dickinson Red Devils providing the opposition. The hoopsters have their starting ,t eam back intact, led by George Morgan who is now the highest scorer in the history of Wilkes. George was also rMed tenth scorer in the nation's small colleges by the NCAA last year. Sophomores Geor,ge Gacha, Fran Mikolanis, and senior "Steady Eddie" Birnbaum make up the bulk of the 1956-57 team ,that turned in a 12-8 record.

I Chuck Robbins - SPOR'PING GOODS 28 ·North Mam Street �Friday, November 22, 1957 s WILKES COLLEGE BEACON COLONELS CLOSE SEASON TOMORROW j Hoping for Third Win END OF THE GRIDIRON TRAIL j ,,.. by DICK MYERS, Sports Editor Tomorrow afternoon brings down the curtain on another football season. Once more we place our sacrifice on the altar of the gridiron gods. Eight times the gods have viewed the titanic struggles of the "Tiny Twenty", twice our offerings evoked the sought-after smiles and fickle Fate visited the Colonel scoreboard. Six times the gods frowned and willed that Victory alight elsewhere. The "Tiny Twenty" never noticed the abandonment, the priestesses in their scanty garb continued to exhort supplications from a neversay-die congregation, and the choir lifted its brass voice to the Olympian heights in hope of changing Fate's decision. Tomorrow we will try again after a disappointing service last Saturday. We were, however, treated to the heart-warming and gratifying sight of the Wilkes worshippers attending the sacrifice with droves of drivers in some thirty vehicles. We can only hope that such enthusiasm and spark will remain for a long time. Our prayers of "fight-team-fight" will not go unheeded, rather, they will aid a great deal. For some reason, last week's heart-warming display of zeal for the first ,t ime this season did not have the desired effect, but you can't get what you want every time and tomorrow IS another day. CA USES AND EFFECTS Lack of enthusiasm, though universal, seems to have no concrete basis. It is a national trend and a sign of a somewhat less easily excited generation. Here at Wilkes, however, we have been able to locate some inkling of the cause of local apathy for the sport. The student body on Tuesday asked why all of the "Tiny Twenty" were not given a chance to play ball, especially when things were such that even forty men would not help an obviously lost cause. The reply was somewhat less than exact. In fact, one observer was heard to remartk that the reply was "evasive"; another less polite term heard was "hedging". Lost in the comments about the inferiority of these pages was the admission that perhaps it was a coaching fault that allowed the benchwarmers to ply their trade week after disappointing week. Could that fault be the reason that the twenty-eight man squad has shrunk to twenty? The answer which informed us that those non-players are not seniors does not take into consideration the fact that the 60-minute men are only human, and as such , have the annoying habit of getting tired. How much grinding, gruelling, bone-crushing punishment can eleven men take, particularly when the opposite eleven dishing it out are not the same players throughout the game, but ones fresh or refreshed? How many weeks are the others to warm the bench before they lose all interest and desire? How Jong after they lose the desire will they decide to quit football? Merel y because they are not of the caliber and experi ence of the playing eleven is no reason to exclude them from gaining some experience, particularly when the starters are on the shor t end of a 38-0 score. Where else are they to get the experience? It is true that our t ender years may not have permitted us to gain as much knowledge of football as some of our superiors, yet certain inconsistencies appear self-evident and need public scrutiny. If we are setting up an athl etic policy of amateurism (praiseworthy in every respect) in which everyone is given an equal chance to participate regardless of skill, we defeat the purpose when we deprive some of the chance to get on the field and bang heads for a while. If used for no other reason, they should be inserted just to give the weary warriors of the "first t eam" a chance for a breather.

Four Colonels will play their last · football game for Wilkes tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 P.M. The four seniors, pictured at left, are Dick Wozniak, Art Tambur, Ron Resci- ; gno, and Sam Puma. Much has been written about these men, many of the thrills 'on the gridiron ·during the past four years have been provided by them; Wozniak is the hard-running, hardworking halfback who shares the spot with Art Tambur, another of' the splendid backfield aces. Rescigno is known throughout the East as one of the finest_ com:, petitors in the sport, and Puma .is the recipient of this week's Athlete. of ,t he Week award (see page 4). · The four will lead the Colonels in tomorrow's game against the Moravian Greyhounds, who took a 45-12 win from the Colonels last year. The Greyhounds will be led from their T - f o rm a ti o n offense by quarterback Tony Matz, who, before last week's win over Wagner, had completed 8 of 17 passes for 183 yards and three touchdowns. Paul Slifka and ·Rod Miller, halfbacks, are the I ea d i n g groundgainers along with George Hollen- · dersky, fullback. The team has gained over 1,000 yards in registering three victories: against two defeats. They have held their opponents to less than 800 yards and have one of the better pass defenses in the East. The Hounds have beaten Albright 19-6, Upsala 21-6, and Wagner. They lost by 34-13 to Lycoming and 6-0 to the powerful Pennsylva..: nia Military College.

SORORITY SPONSORS TEA THIS AFTERNOON I �2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, November 15, 1957 I11111111111111111111111111111111 II IIII 111111111 EDITORIALS- Bravo! This week the Beacon salutes the four groups at the college responsible for the success of last week's musical production, Paint Your Wagon. The incorporation of the art and music departments, along with the Collegians ~d Cue 'n' Curtain, gave us one of the finest productions ever held at the college. Every member of the cast performed with the assurance of a professional actor and the singing equalled that often found in a Broadway smash hit. Likewise, the art department did an excellent job with the scenery. Attending suoh a performance makes one aware of the exceptional talent that we have on campus. However, we don't use our talent enough! For instance, many clubs and classes hire local dance bands for the regular Friday night dances instead of using many of the bands which are available in the music department. WHY LOOK IN THE YELLOW PAGES? Many of these same bands, which are so easily available to us, are in demand throughout the Valley in some of the most prominent business places; and other big colleges, such as Penn State, Lafayette, and Lehigh, hire Wilkes College groups for many of their important affairs. One of our bands has been hired to entertain the Governor on Saturday night at the ILGWU convention which will be held at the college gym. In spite of all this, our clubs and classes import talent to the campus. It is such a shame that we don't make use of our own talent more often. -Jan Your Help Needed During the past month several students have asked why we have discontinued the What-Where-When column which appeared in last year's Beacon. Our main reason for not printing the column is that we received little cooperation from the club presidents last year. Most of the dates and places of meetings or practises came from the leg work of the editorial staff, very few organizations bothered to come to the office and tell us their plans for meetings. We feel that since this column is for the benefit of the student body, the students should contribute to it and help us in not only making it complete but also making it accurate. We will print the column again provided that we receive the information on the Tuesday one week before the scheduled event or meeting. If there are less than ten meetings or events given to us, the column will not appear that week. -M.J.K. THE ROVING CHIMERA by Fred Roberts Last week this campus was much dignified by the presence of the outstanding stateswoman in the world today. I wonder iust how many of us recognize the greatness of this woman. Before Thursday, I would have doubted the justification of this extravagant praise; I must confess to having classified her rather vaguely as a super-do-gooder - rather naive idealist espousing high principles but never really accomplishing anything practical - an ex-president's cultured wife. But then I heard Mrs. Roosevelt speak. She picked a truly challenging subject - the need for world understanding furthered by the United Nations, the dangers of underestimating the U.S.S.R., her confidence in the American potentian, and her trip to Russia. It could have been a lecture in platitudes. It wasn't. She related personal experiences and impressions that were both amusing and interesting, but ,t hey were a great deal more than that. Those innocent - appearing anecdotes very concisely sum up the whole communist ideology and the dangers inherent in it that have been only sketchily revealed to us. The picture of Russian peasants lined up blocks deep for twenty years before the tomb of Lenin and now Stalin gives us some idea of their pitiful search for something to r eplace the "bourgeois" God that they had worshipped abjectly for hundred of years - it appears that at least the younger generation has found what they want because the churches are empty. The windows full of goods at exorbitant pri ce s illustrate the Communist principle of -p rice dietation in order to control consumer buying and thus channel resources into capital good production.

While in New York, John also visited Ann Bates former Wilkes student who is now a junior at Columbia University. Jerry Stein, '57 graduate and present student at the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, returned to Wilkes-Barre s ever a I weeks ago to visit Evie Lebowitz, sophomore elementary education major. Mrs. Eleanor Detroy is currently appearing in the Europa Lounge singing selections from romantic musical comedies. Mrs. Detroy, the wife of John Detroy, head of the college's music department, previously appeared locally in several of ,t he Little Theater's productions as well as Girl Crazy, a college musicale. Neil Dadurka, president of last year's senior class, visited Wilkes last Monday while on leave from the U.S. Marine Corps. Three members of last year's graduating c 1 a s s, Pats" Reese, Norma Jean Davis, and James Alcorn, who are presently teaching in New Jersey, visited the campus over the Veterans Day vacation. Students assisting Mrs. Edna Stevens, publicity director, are : Janet Zieg 1 er, Jean Shofranko, Rosalie Huber Brothers, Dorothy Ford, Dick Myers, Cliff Kobland, James Hennighan, John Rinko, and Bill Zdancewicz. Dick Myers is in charge of sports publicity and Cliff Kobland serves as his assistant. Frank Cuscela, who received his degree in C&F last year is currently making 200% of his quota as a salesman at •t he Uarco Business Company in Newark, N.J. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Nicholas announced that they are expecting an addition to their family sometime next spring. Mrs. Nicholas, the former Grace Major, received her terminal in secretarial studies from Wilkes last June. Mr. Nicholas is stationed with the U.S. Air Force in Florida. QUALIFICATION TEST DEC. 7 AT COLLEGE The National Security Agency is offering a Professional Qualification Test for students interested in careers in the nation's intelligence service. The test will be given December 7, 1957, at the college. Applications must be rec e iv e d before November 30, 1957. The examination is given in a single four-hour session. For further information and a copy of the brochure see Mr. Tener or Mr. Chwalek or write to Educational Testing Service, 20 Nassau Street, Princeton, New Jersey. The expectant waiting by all Russians - even Khruschev himself, for new and better hospitals, planes, and houses, gives us some idea of how Communism can give the people just a little more than they had under the Czars and then satisfy them with ,t he -p romise of the "socialist soon". Most significantly Mrs. Roosevelt pointed up the striking contrast between Russian and American production of scientists - the production of inquiring minds may in the long run destroy the Communist dynasty, but will the United States still be in the race? Mrs. Roosevelt is far from a naive, aging ex-president's wife. She stands out as an example of all that is good and hopeful in internationalism. But, I wonder if her complete faith in American youth is justified, will what she gave us here be appreciated or will her idealistic confidence be betrayed as we •b rush aside and soon forget her words? I am frankly inclined to be -pessimistic. HOW'S YOUR SHOWCASE? Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt advised us last week to make ourselves "Showcases for Democracy". To that end she recommended that we have confidence, know our adversaries, use what instruments we have to support the United Nations and learn more about the organization. The former first lady also urged that more students take foreign languages, a suggestion which gladdened the hearts of Miss Sylvia Dworski and Herr Elwood Disque. The two language professors have been saying that for years. In the afternoon session, she went into more detail , :bout the Soviet mass production of scientists and engineers. :- ie U.S. lag in this vital area must be overcome in order to keep up with Russia. STARTED THINKING The talks started us thinking and we hope that a lot of others have been doing the same. Tuesday's assembly was a good followup to Mrs. Roosevelt's visit, since Mr. William Averitt is also well-informed on the world situation today. The two speakers have pointed up the possibilities of world progress through the U.N. Now it's up to you to make the most of it. How is your "Showcase for Pemocracy" coming along? PERSONAL DATA Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Brothers. Cliff, former Warner Hall resident, and Rosalie Huber had the marital knot tied by the Mayor of Phillipsburg, N.J., on Saturday. Cliff is teaching in Allentown, while Rosalie pursues her studies here. Welcome to the chili, folks! Rumor hath it that Carl Van Dyke, Beacon Athlete of the Year in '56, is engaged.

To King's College, on achieving their United Fund Quota. SCATTERSHOTS Our favorite local pub has this sign on the mirror: "Do Your New Year's Eve Celebrating Early". One of our favorite TV shows is sponsored by a sewing machine company. The story isn't very good, but the commercials leave us in stitches. Speaking of TV, we saw one Western that was so adult that even the horses were neurotic. One of the beer companies is putting out kegs that can be used for drums when empty; proving that you can have your keg and beat it, too. OVERHEARD He: "John cut me cold in The Commons this morning. He thinks I'm not his equal." She: "Why that stupid, brainless, good-for-nothing, square moron. You certainly are his equal." THE LAST SHOT HE~re's a last bit of advice to any optimists who may be left on campus: "One day as I sat musing, sad and lonely, without :x friend, a voice came out of the gloom and said: 'Cheer up, things could be worse.' So I cheered up, and sure enough, things got worse." -tim JOIN TBE COLONELS' CARAVAN �Friday, November 15, i957 WIIJCF.S COLLEGE BEACON 3 LETTERMEN ANNOUNCE PLANS THANKSGIVING DAY DANCE FOR CHRISTMAS FORM~~L DANCE TO FEATURE COLLEGIANS New Repertoire Ready For Social Functons And Year's Activities M.

MEMBERS PLAN EXCHANGE PROGRAM I by Bob Martin The Wilkes Collegians, f r e s h from their triumph in Paint Your Wagon, will face a busy schedule for the remainder of the year, according to director Sam Lowe. The popular chorus, which performed in over thirty concerts last year, already has many offers pouring in for this year. In two weeks, the ,thirty-nine man group will be featured here at the Thanksgiving Day Dance, I Sam Lowe which is sponsored by the Student Council. On December 12, the group will sing for the !rem Temple Ladies' Auxiliary. Many new songs have been added to last year's repertoire. Included in these are two stirring numbers, This Is My Country and the Pilgrims' Chorus from the o p e r a Tannhauser. In addition to these numbers, a beautiful ballad entitled Aura Lee, a western ballad, Cool Water, and a lively Russian folk tune entitled Russian Picnic will be f e a t u r e d by the Collegians. These numbers, added to the fine group of choral selections from the musical show Paint Your Wagon and last year's songs give the Male Chorus the best selection of music it has ever had. Bill Peters, sophomore music major, is ably serving as the accompanist for the Collegians, havjng been a member of the group since the spring semester. In addition to their musical activities the Collegians endeavoring to contribute to and co-operate with the school spirit movement, are planning to attend the WilkesScranton ,U. football game tomor-1 row. Following the game, which ithey will attend in a body, the Collegians will hold their annual winter outing. I BAUM'S ~i~:1b~\~~m:~!! t;~~~!:::iJ!!

The Wilkes defense was at its finest this season as it held the Demons to only 38 yards on the ground and 49 in the air. The line-play was led by Winebrake who blocked his third •p unt of the year, and by Frank Spudis, who recovered a key fumble. Ends Steve Perkowski and Clarke Cornell slashed in from their positions time after time to drop many a surprised Red Devil ball carrier for long losses.

The first score of the game was set up when Spudis recovered a fumble on the Dickinson one-yard stripe. Ron Rescigno went over for the six-pointer on a plunge over guard. Wozniak's kick was wide of the mark. In the second period, the Colonels recovered another Di~kinson fumble on the Devils' 19.

The league, in operation since October 14, had eight teams fighting for the crown in twenty-eight games. To the surprise of no one, Ray's Recruits have come out on top of rthe heap.

The Royals run from a T-fOJ'mation featuring the fine running of fuHbacik co-eaptain John Podkul and the bruising line-play of center Leo Broadhurst. They have suffered much from the flu and from injuries, but have shown plenty of fight when they are at full strength. They are expected to be at full strength for tomorrow's game. The Wilkes ,Colonels, fresh from their shutout of the Red Devils, boast a two win, five loss record, their best season in some years. They too will a pp e a r at full strength, although their numbers have shrunk to 20 since John Macri left the squad. These men have come to form a strongly-knit unit, however, as they demonstrated against Lycoming, Ursinus, and Dickinson. They have played outstanding football with their single-wing attack grinding out yardage and their defens e st o p p i n g many of their larger opponents' drives cold.

Formerly on the staff of the New York Herald Tribune, Mr. Averitt is presently affiliated with the Carnegie Foundation for International Peace. The speaker was not a new one to everyone at the college since Mr. Averitt had spoken several years ago at a Wilkes Baccalaureate. The topic of Tuesday's talk, as suggested by the speaker himself, was "An Objective on the Present World Situation". The presence of the Russian satellites, "Sputniks I and II", was frequently referred to in the talk. Although, as Mr. Averitt pointed out, this singularly tremendous feat of the Soviets may tend to reduce American prestige in the other areas of the globe, it may also have a somewhat beneficient effect, in that it may serve to "jar" the people of the United States out of their so-called good old-fashioned American complacency. Peoples of the Soviet Union, according to Mr. Averitt, have always felt a sense of inferiority, or as the speaker describes it, a weakness, when faced with the progress and achievements of the Western world. As a result of this, the Soviets naturally feel a sense of hate and envy of the people of the West. With this in mind, it is not difficult to see why the space strides which they have made might ,p ossibly tend to instill in them a sense of strong confidence in themselves. .Perhaps this sense of security will serve to bring about better worldrelations in the near future by causing the Soviets to at least partially desist from their constant ridicule and harsh criticism of the United States. If this is done, then the S:putniks may not have been as had as the majority of us seem to think. On the contrary, the moons should serve as a warning to the people of the free world to ever be on the alert for new achievements and to keep up with their own, lest we all fall under the heel of a dictator so powerful as to he the complete master of minds and spirit.

Assembly by Dave Vann The student body and faculty members of Wilkes College turned out in full force today to hear Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt speak at the weekly assembly program. The program sponsored by the Wilkes Chapter of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations brought to campus one of the most personable speakers in the field of international politics in the world today. Mrs. Roosevelt, speaking about current events in the United Nations, gave to the audience a clear and concise ,p icture of the problems which are presently being fa ced by the entire world. Mrs. Roosevelt represents more than simpl y a former first lady t o the people of the world.

We are deeply honored to welcome Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt to the campus and to the comm.unity so that she can share with us her knowledge and understanding of the United Nations. Mrs. Roosevelt. one of the world's outstanding personalities, has worked tirelessly to insure the success of this organization. As a former president's wife, Mrs. Roosevelt played an unusually active role in the capacity of the nation's first lady as well as taking an interest in politics herself. A woman of many talents, she has written many works and has travelled throughout the world representing the American people as an ambassador of good-will. We feel that we are indebted to Dave Vann and members of the Wilkes College CCUN for making Mrs. Roosevelt's visit with us possible. -Jan THE ROVING CHIMERA by Fred Roberts The response to last week's article on the Korean bonus, rather forcefully impressd upon me the fact that this column has readers - many of whom do not agree with me.

Letter to the Editor ••• Dear Madam Edi,t or: Being a student of Wilkes College, I look forward to reading something of intellectual value in the Wilkes Beacon. It was with regret that I observed such a ridiculous and narrow-minded article as the one written on the validity of granting the vets a, bonus. I am quite sure that the author is sincere in his assertions, but I can't help being a little shocked that he doesn't believe that every individual, regardless of how small or meaningless his job may a,ppear, equally contributes to the welfare of the country. Neither can I understand the attitude that the men and women who, in time of war, have gone beyond their normal obligations and have sacrificed their time, careers, health, and even their lives should not be appreciated by those who were more fortunate. Howev er, if Americans have slipped to such a low level that greed transcends moral obligations, then, I must agree with the author that he should not vote for the bonus. Instead, he should crawl into his private, little hole, lock the door tightly behind him, and count his money, but I must ask him, as his dollar bills float to the floor, to remember the .p oor vet, with his insides shot out, who must live his last few yea.rs on the goodness of charity.

The three teams of Juniata's Blue-and-Gold had passed on and off the field at various points in the game and even the third string had managed to score, while holding the overtired Colonel "11" in check. Co-captain Ronnie Rescigno of the Wilkes Blue-and-Gold was calling the signals, carrying the ball and making his share of the tackles. And we would be remiss if we failed to note that his share is always a lion's share. Finally, the big-hearted little man tired and Coach Ralston sent in a substitute for him. What followed was one of the most gratifying scenes we have ever witnessed, on the gridiron, or elsewhere. As Ronnie trotted off the field the entire overflow crowd in the Juniata Stadium gave him a standing ovation, which lasted until he sat on the bench. When asked how he felt about the tribute, Ronnie commented that there were ten other men on the field who deserved just as much recognition. THEY CAME TO PLAY While there were more than 11 Colonels who did see action in the Juniata game, all of the players who were in uniform did not play. We don't think that this is as it should be. Certainly Coach Ralston had no hopes of pulling the game out of the proverbial fire with 11 men who had been battling two teams throughout the afternoon and were now pitted against a third. But still the men on ·the bench were not given a chance. VIOLA TES POLICIES It doesn't fit in with the athletic policies of the college, which are supposed to ,b e based on the participation of as many individuals as possible. The Wilkes athletic program has not succumbed to commercialism and its subsequent restriction of-c.. participation. But here we have another form of restriction and it's just as unfair. How can these players ever gain experience if they aren't given a chance? What does it matter if they don't do as well as the tired varsity - an extra touchdown or two would be no disgrace. At worst they would be playing against a third string team with little more experience than they had. Lastly, tired players can get injured more easily than fresh ones. To paraphrase somebody or other: It matters not the final score, But if you played in the game. IT'S A DOG'S LIFE Whether you call it Sputnik II or MUTTNIK I, everybody's got a yuk. The song writers have been racking their brains to come up with such gems as: How much is that Dog in the Sputnik? and You Ain't Nuthin' but a Dog Star. It seems that the Russians have been breeding dogs especially to meet the requirements of space travel. In that respect, the West is way ahead. We have Airedales. Scientist Dr. Bastress commented: "Think of it. A half a ton hurtling around up there." To which the more mundane Miss Millie Gittins quipped.: "Hope it doesn't land in our back yard." The satellites are somewhat reminiscent of some Wilkes students - going around in circles without knowing where they'll end up. Muttnik is probably responsible for the epidemic that's presently making the rounds - Asian flea. Some Wilkes students want to volunteer Sam Gore - Weckesser (or W eckesser-Gore, if you prefer) as the first passenger in the U.S. rocket. After all, he has the benefit of a college education. When asked his opinion of the plan, Sam had no comment. Millie would rather the Russians had sent one of their party men, preferably Kruschchev. She thinks its quite cruel to send a four-legged canine. Harry Moyle commented: "Look at all the dogs killed on the streets every day." Millie squelched him: "You look, it's messy." - SCATTERSHOTS Wonder when someone will come out with filter chewing tobacco?

SENIOR JOB SEMINAR , TOMORROW AT NOON by Bill Zdancewicz Seniors! The camfPUS Placement Office is offering something new this semester. To aid in preparing for future employment, seminars will be held on campus. The first employment seminar will be held tomorrow at twelve, in room 203, Pickering Hall. All seniors in the ·Commerce and Finance Department, majors in economics, liberal arts, mathematics, sciences, and English are invited ,t o attend. The ,purpose of this seminar is to a cquaint seniors with the procedure necessary to follow, in pre.paring for application into the field of their choice, before and after graduation. A discussion will be presented concerning the employment opportunities. Literature will b e distributed which will prove helpful in future interviews. These en1iJ)loyment seminars are very valua-ble in ipreparing college seniors for what is considered to ,b e their most important decision in life. Acquisition of employment with any organization is arrived at only through accurate preparation on the part of the individual. Thus far, a total of sixty companies have notified the campus placement office of their coming to Wilkes to secure applicants for employment. Seniors ,i nterested in applying for interviews with any of these companies, should maintain contact with the Placement Office for news of their arrival. Mr. Chwalek, Placement Director, announced that future seminars will be held for seniors majoring in education and other fields.

STATE HARVARD by DICK MYERS, Sports Editor The " Beacon" sports staff, unable to reach a definite agreement on this week's award-winner, went into a huddle with the coaches and after balloting came up with a . familiar face for the honor. This is the fourth time this season that Ron Rescigno has captured the title, an honor he rich ly deserves. Ron's p la y in the d'ismal 38-0 shutout in Huntingdon at the hands of the Juniata Indians brought forth peals of a,pplause from the ,p a, r ti s a n, overflow Homecoming crowd. Coach Ralston removed Ron from t he game after the final fourminute signal had been given. The "Runt" was limping slightly and visibly tiring after a hard day of some tremendous football. The fans gave him a standing ovation, even the members of the gigantic Indian squad gave him accolades · and ,p ats on the back. The fleet liittle <backfield a ce was bottled up time after time due to the smashing line play of the Juniatans, who never stopped their rel entless pounding of the nearly-exhausted Colonels forward wall, but he never quit charging. Ron's high standing in the Eastern Colleges Athletic Conference may have suffered somewhat as he gained only 20 yards in 18 carries, but there was just cause for the lo w output. Time after ,time, the s p e e d y tailback was forced to suffer large losses beca use the Juniata defense was just too powerful for the Wilkes line. He actually gained over 90 yards, but the pass attempt losses were his downfall. Ron is in his last year of collegiate football and has lefrt; !behind him a trail of magnificent foo1lball which mary never be equalled.

Members of the Economics Club ~sited the American Car and Foundry, Brill Corporation in Berwick, on Thursday afternoon of st l,a week. '. The tour which covered the proquction in the railroad car division °"as arranged through Mr. Gilbert ~alt of AC&F, Brill. The st udents viewed the manufacture of parts and the assembly of freight cars. In addition, they also toured the accounting department, whieh was almost entirely an IBM setup. The Berwick division of AC&F Brill, has 180 acres under roof, with approximately 3600 men em,p loyed. A rpea,k of 13,000 men were employed during wartime. Besides railroad freight cars, streamlined trains are also manufactured at AC&F Brill. The divisions of atomic energy and aircraft were restricted to visitors because of the confidential nature of production. The manufacture of shells is being done at the newest branch of the Berwick plant. As with most industries, diversification has become the policy of AC&F, Brill. .Students attending found the tour interesting and educational in light of production methods used in industry today. Memhers of the field trip were: R. Bailey, E. Bezdziecki, R. Brown, W. Ewasko, C. Gareis, G. Ginader, M. Goobic, A. Gutkoski, W. James, C. Jones, C. Juris, N. Katarsky, F. Kogut, A. Kuchinskas, J.

BOOTERS EDGED OUT (continued from page 4) Gettysburg team put the pressure on ,t he Wilk~s defense and only the fight and dnve of the Colonels kept the score to one goal. The Colonel defense proved equal to all, except one, of the Getty~burg attacks. In the secon_d half the Colonels finally came ahve and through the aggressive play of Carl Havira ~nd Joe Morgan began to turn the tide of battle. Nick Giordano ban?'ed home ~he only Wilkes tally, m the third period. A penalty kick by Giordano was blocked by the Bullets' g.oalie but rolled free to the right s1~e of t_he field where ?ne of the ~1lkes lmemen passed_ 1t iback to Giordano, who boomed m a ?ea~ty from twelve yards out. This tied the scor~ and gave the Colonels a needed hft. The fourth quarter was very even un~il the_ Gettysburg attack g~t rolhng with les~ than four m1:1utes to play .. With but two m 1 nut es left, lmeman Ed _G_utkeuns,t banged home the dec1~mg sc?re from 25 yar?s out. Agam a miscue by the Wilkes defense allowed the score, for one of the Wilkes defensive backs got in the vision of Bob Payne, the Colonel goalie, and the ball was in before Payne could react to it. The Bullets turned back a last-minute Colonel drive to win a tight contest, repeating their victory of last season. It was a tough one to lose but even in defeat the Wilkes team looked good, with the play of Havira, Morgan and G i o rd an o standing out above the rest. Giordano's goal was his sixth in six games, a great average. The purpose of these semmars is to give information about the college courses in the fields that those students are interested in studying. The next seminar will present the opportunities in the careers in mathematics. Next week being Education w ee,k, it is fitting that the first seminar be for students who are interested in the teaching profesion. The activities of the conference will begin a,t 9 A.M. on Friday when the guests will register and have coffee with their hosts. At 9 :40 A.M. they will see the film entitled "No Teacher Alone". ,s o~e Wilkes students will make up a panel discussion on the topic "Why I Want To Teach". Afte; luncheon, Mr. George Ralston will give the main message of the conference and conduct a question and answer period. Finally, the guests will be invited to a coke party at Sterling Hall for relaxation and fellowship. Mr. Chwalek and Joseph Ludgate, president of the Education Club, request the cooperation of Education Club members to make this seminar helpful to the guests by talking with them about your interest in teaching.

WILKES COLLEGE BLOOD DONOR DAY · Mrs. Roosevelt will speak at the AT RED CROSS CENTER - DF.CEMBER 4 (continued on page 2l I Yes, they are in the show! The Wilkes Collegians, musical ambassadors of good will, are entering the final week of rehearsals for their featured role in the Wilkes-Kiwanis -p roduction of Lerner and Lowe's Paint Your Wagon. The men have been :practicing an hour a day, five days a week; and several hours in the evening, three nights a week. The musical centers around a gr ou p of hard-wo,r king, harddrinking, hell-raising, fun-loving gold miners in the early days of the California gold rush. Needless to say, the Collegians fit perfectly in this role. The miners in the show are living in a Western tow of several hundred men and one girl, teenage daughter of the town's big man. The story reaches a high point when the first stage coach of the season reaches town bearing a much-awaited c a r g o of fifteen dancing girls. As the coach comes into view, the men await its final arrival singing_, "There's a Coach Comin' In". The miners sing five other songs, four of which continue in the same wild, rollicking manner. The other is the haunting baled, "Maria", the song of the wind. Most of the main s,p eaking parts among the male characters are held by members of the Male Chorus. Sam Lowe is the hard-fisted Jake, owner of ,the town's salooh. George Richards plays Morman Jacob Woodling, who brings two wives with him to further confuse the womanless miners. Stan Yurkowski plays the part of Steve Bullnack who wants to strike it rich and get home to his wife. His sidekick, Mike Mooney, is an Irrishman who wants to go north into the Redwood country to look for the lake of gold he heard about in Sacramento Mike is played by Dick Myers. Carroll Davenport hakes the part of Reuben Sloane, town ne'er-dowel!. who is a,lways in trouble. Fred Malkemes plays the owner and proprietor of rthe town's general store, Salem. John Salva is the square dance caller, and Larry Chooer plays "Doc". The musical written by Lerner and Loewe of Brigadoon and My Fair Lady fame is set in the mining town of Rumson during the gold !rush era. Marilyn Carl as Jennifer Rumson, daughter of the town's founder, and Wayne Walters as Julio, a Merican boy, share the romantic leads. Jerry Luft as Ben Rumon, the town's founder, plays the other chief role. All three have had previous experience in musicals, appearing in Bloomer Girl, the last musical presented at the college. The theme of the play centers around the woman shortage in Rumson. The ratio is now up to one hundred and fifty men to one woman. Jennifer Rumson, in fact, is the only female in rthe town. This idea adds to the confusion and comedy of the musical. A variety of characters have come to Rumson to try their luck at mining. Among these are Edgar Crocker, an Englishman portrayed by Peter Gale; Sandy Twist, a Scotsman, whose accent adds a humorous element to the musical, played by Gene Stickler; and Mike Mooney, an Irishman, portrayed by Dick Myers. Included in the other important roles are Stan Yurkowski as the rug.g ed and robust Steve Bullnack; Fred Ma Ike mes as Salem, the storekeeper; Steve PoJeskie as Pete Billings; and Cairroll Davenport a,s Ruben Sloane, whose stealing of gold from Pete Billings requires a Kangaroo court to be held. Sam Lowe as Jake, the owner of the town casino, falls in love with Nicki Rosenbaum, the leader of the Fandangoies, a grouip of can-can girls from Paris. The other dance hall girls are Jonell Carey, Gail Roman, Arlene Martin, Lanna Planitzer, and Josie Mieszkowski, choreographer for Paint Your Wagon. Josie also appears in a "•p as de deux" with Bob Evans. George Richards, the M o rm on with his two wives, Elizabeth and Sara, played by •P hyllis Judge and Marian Laines, respectively, brings a female element into the story. The musical arrangements have been made by Mr. John Detro,y , head of the music department, and the sets have been designed by Mr. Catha! O'Toole of the art department. Al Groh is director. The m u s i c a l will open next Thursday in Irem Temple. Student activity passes will be accepted only on Thursday night.

The students contributed only $611.39 this year as compared to $767.54 contributed last year. This contrast seems ridiculous since the enrollment has increased largely this year. Evidently enthusiasm was lacking this year. However, the senior class as in the past, was the outstanding group to donate to the fund since 75% of the class contributed to the fund. This is an example of class unity. We tip our hat to Ron Tremayne and members of the class. Another fine example of class unity was diplayed by the sophomore class which had 67.7% participation in the drive. This shows fine organization on the part of John Mulhall and his class council. Even the freshmen did fairly well. What hoppened to the juniors? What's in a Letter The other day a member of the senior class submitted an article to us severely criticizing the community's Philharmonic orchestra. The senior who gave us the article was representing another person on campus, the author, who requested to remain anonymous. When the publication refused to print the article, the author's "agent" told us to sign his name and print it as a Letter To The Editor. However, when we refused this request, the person became indignant and felt we did not treat him fairly. To clear up a few points, we ould like him to give our conception of what English 101 taught us about letters. We learned that a letter consists of three parts. First of all, it must be addressed to a person or group of persons. Secondly, it must have a body; and thirdly, it must be signed by the person or group of persons who compose the letter. We do not feel that we have discriminated upon this person, since we told him we would print "his" article if he submitted it to us in proper letter form. Patience is a virtue, and if certain individuals would stop to listen to reason, we might be able to understand each other much better than in the past. -Jan 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 ROVING CHIMERA by Fred Roberts On November 5, Pennsylvania voters will be expected to express not only their political preferences, but also to decide if the state constitution is to be amended to permit the state legislature to grant Korean veterans a bonus. It is important that the average voter give more than his usual attention to this issue. In order to vote intelligently, he should seriously consider these questions: First, does the Korean veteran merit the bonus? Secondly, If so, is it to the best interests of the general public to .g rant it? Although both major parties support the grant, and recognizing that I am calling down the wrath of local veterans, I must oppose the bonus. True, the veteran of Korea inten-upted his normal existence to risk his life in an unpleasant country, but he was after all, fighting for his own rights as much as for ours, and for pay, allowances, and postwar federal benefits greater than any other country's soldiery has known. Moreover, most did not go out of any sense of ,personal patriotism or sacrifice - they were drafted. If we are to r eward those who make personal sacrifices for the common good, perhaps those who do so by choice, such as teachers, social workers, ministers and civil servants come higher on the gift list. The Korean veteran does not deserve an additional r ecompense anymore than World War II veterans did, but, it seems to me that the answer to the second question should be the determining factor. The public would a ctually suffer, in the long run, rather than benefit from this unnecessary largesse. The state is now barely staggering a long under its financial burdens; to float an additional $150,000,000 ·bond issue would make it much more difficult to 1·aise monies for schools, hospitals, highways and other social necessities. The state, unlike the federal government, has only limited credit. Finally, opposition can be justified on a purely economic basis. It is unfair and ill-advised to put additional purchasing power in the hands of an already extremely employable group during a period of an expanding economy. That can only add additional pressure to inflationary tendencies. We must not again capitulate to groups furthering their own interests or to political organi'z11tiom, vying frantically for votes by backing these groups, Friday, November 1, 1957 Letter to the Editor ••• Dear Madam Editor: I would like to express my appreciation, publicly, to three young men who assisted me in changing a flat tire on Wednesday of this week. I don't recall their names, a I t h o u g h two of them attend Wilkes and the third works in the college cafeteria. On my way home last W ednesday, I stopped at the Hoted Sterling to pick up my son, a senior at Wilkes. Noticing the three young men standing nearby, I offered them a ride as far as Kingston Corners. While enroute on West Market Street, the flat tire occured. After parking ithe car safely near the curb, I proceeded to change the tire. Without any hesitation, the younl!' men helped me with the task and in no time, we were finished and on our way. Not remembering ,t heir names, I felt an open letter to the Beacon was the best wav of expressing my grateful thanks to these three young- men who in my opinion, represent the younger generation to the highest degree. Very truly your, Mr. John Sa1:aka 27 Myrick St. Edwardsville, Pa. Orchids to Alumni Congratulations to the Alumni Association for its fine conducting of the Homecoming festivities, which were the best of any in our mind. The members of the association who did the work of arranging the various events can be proud of the results they achieved. The "visiting firemen" from out of town say they really enjoyed themselves. And participation was very good; both among the alumni and students. Perhaps we shouldn't single out any individuals for mention, among all those who did the work of organizing the weekend, but we will mention Clayton Bloomburg, general chairman; Russ Williams and Lloyd Davies, co-chairmen of Friday n.ght's warm up party; and Dr. Shad Jones, dance chairman. Saturday was really a big night for Shad, for not only was the dance an outstanding sucess, but he also became engaged. The lucky lady is Miss Beverly Heuer of Chase, Pa. She is a worker for the United Fund. We count the Country Club dance Saturday night to be the finest we have attended since the demise of the Cabaret Party. Jack Melton and his orchestra played to a standing-room-only crowd of 300. The elimination dance was won by Ronnie Rescigno and his date. Nobody deserved it more than the'Runt'.

The Colonel ~oters turned in a hard fought 3-1 victory over a tall and expenenced Hofstra team. Sharp Offensive Play . With. Rugged Defense Responsible for Win The Beacon Athlete of this week, Joe Morgan, played a large part in .the soccer team's 3-1 Homecoming victory over Hofstra last Saturday. The hustling, heads-up iPlay of the Letterman right halfback was a main factor in the Colonel domination of the game. Morgan showed great drive and determination in both offensive and defensive ,p lay. His steady footwork started many Wilkes offensive moves and his rugged defensive work cut down many budding Hofstra drives. Late in the third period Morgan picked up a tired Colonel team and led them in dominating the remainder of the game. Morgan is a graduate of Girard College in Philade1'phia, class of 1956. He entered Wilkes the following fall. .While at the Philadelphia school he participated in wrestling and track. He won seven letters in the sports with four coming in his favorite sport of wrestling. Although Girard is known for its soccer team, Joe had participated in this sport only on an intramural level. But since coming to Wilkes he ha,s developed into a fine booter and has been a great help to the Blue and Gold squad this season. Besides earning a soccer letter here at Wilkes, Joe also lettered in wrestling with Coach John Reese's Middle Atlantic States Conference Champions. A nartive of Tunkhannock, Pa., he resides with his mother at 65 Franklin Ave. In his sophomore year, Joe is working toward a Bachelor of Science degree in Commerce and Finance. The choice for the award this tRAY'S RECRm·TS' HOLD PERFECT MARK Joe Morgan week was very difficult to make.

Harvie Williams was the m a i n speaker at the Tuesday morning a,s sembly. Mr. Williams is head of the Alexander Hamilton Bi-Centennial Commission, the headquarters of w h i c h is in Washington, D. C. Mr. Williams' visit was a timely observance of the 250th anniversary of the birth of one of our greatest early statesmen, Alexander Hamilton. Mr. Williams stated that through wonder and analysis, one ma,y gain realization of the bearing Hamilton had on the formation of our Union. Elaborated points of the talk were: Hamilton's success in the Revolutionary War, work with the Continental ·Congress, promoting of national banks, and work at the Philadelphia Convention where his thinking reflected the fundamental With Ray's Recruits still undef eat ed and unscored upon, next week's action in Intramural touch football promises to be exciting. The Recruits will take on the second-place Vets in the game that may well decide the championship. Wrestling practice has obliterated the 69'ers, since they are now preparing to defend their Middle, Atlantic mat crown. Th e Freshman Six seem to ha,v e had difficulty recovering from their first loss, because they ha,ve not shown up for any more games. On Wednesday, the rained-out games of October 17 will •be played. The schedule: The Vets vs. Freshman Six, 69'ers vs. Gore Hall. On T h u r s d a, y, the rained-out games of October 24 will be made up: The Dirty Rotten Lowdown Hombres will play Gore Hall, Ray's Recruits are slated to ta,ke on the 69'ers. All t eam captains are reminded that they must have six men ready to .p lay before each game. This is the last week of action. Teams are requested to be present to finish the season with as much enthusiasm as was seen at the stai,t. framework of our Constitutional policy. Mr. Williams said, "This fundamental t h i n k i n g was the basis for our present day school of thought in government." Some other accomplishments of Hamilton's were: his appointment as the first United States Ca'binet member, position as ambassador to France, and his co-authorshi,p of George Washington's farewell address. The . match . was de!ayed fortyfive mmutes m startmg, because one of the cars of the Hofstra team developed engine trouble in the Poconos. Both squads were at full strength for the contest and the match moved at a rapid pace for the entire playing time. Through the aggressive play of halfback Joe Morgan and outside right Carl Ha·v ira the Colonels dominated the play for the entire first half and the fourth period. The Flying Dutchmen stai-ted their only decisive attack in the third period and through a slip of the Wilkes defense banged home .their only score of the game. The Colonels, opened the scoring in the early moments of the game with some beautiful ball handling by Carl Havira and center forward Nick Giordano. Giordano banged home the first goal on a beautiful assist from Havira . Late in the first iperiod Havira blocked a free kick ,b y the Hofstra goalie, Patterson, and the pressure was back on the Hofstra defense. Ivan Pappanicholas, freshman outside left, smashed home the second score from 10 yards in front of the Dutchmen's goal. Pappanicholas ended the Colonels' scoring in the second period by banging home a score from the side of the goal on a beautiful rd as~~! f~:s~;; ;:a~ came on a momentary relapse by the Wilkes defense.

The Blue and Gold booters dominated ·p lay by out-hustling and outfighting a determined Hofstra club. The Dutchmen's defense had too many mental lapses and they allowed their goalie to stand alone in the face of a powerful Colonel attack too often. The m en ta 1 la·pses on Hofstra's part can be attributed to the spirit and drive of the Colonel halfbacks and the faking and speed of the Blue and Gold forward line. The victory can thus be attributed to fine all around team play and stout defensive work •b y the Colonels. The booming kicks by Dave Polley, Ed Masonis, and Tony Bianco combined with the heads up .p lay of Cad Havira, Lou Davis and especially Joe Morgan kept the pressure on the Hofstra team the entire game. Davis, making his first appearance in the Wilkes lineup, showed great promise for the future. It was a great team victory for Coach Jim Ferris' hooters and was enjoyed by the fair sized crowd that did attend. ~ JOHN B. STETZ SPORTING GOODS - Expert Clothl• 9 E.

Your ol' Sports Spurter has come into a bit of criticism from "a female student at Wilkes College". Naturally, we get a great deal of criticism; we welcome it. This particular bit, however, we feel is not completely warranted. The complaint was registered about the naming for the third time of Ron Rescigno as Athlete of the Week, when many of the linemen and his fellow backfield men have also ,p layed good ball. First, gentle reader, it must be understood that the Athlete of the Week award is given by the Beacon sports staff to the OUTSTANDING athlete of the past week. It is true that the linemen and other backs have played some tremendous ball, but playing the assigned position well is only one of the criteria for selection. The man must show good sportsmanship, display exceptional qualities of leadership, and be an all-around morale leader of his fellows, in addition to playing well-or even superlatively. Is this undemocratic or unfair? We of the sports staff have had several difficult choices to make, particularly this and last issue. However, when ALL factors were added up, the game little guy was the winner three times. We still feel that, on those grounds, we were justified in our triple choice, critics notwithstanding. Observe this week's winner, who never made a headline, never made the scoring column, but exhibited superiority in each and every facet of his sport. We don't deliberately ignore the guy who doesn't stand out. We try not to omit anyone in our stories, but this is a regretable failure that keeps cro·p,ping up. We do, however, honor the man who stands head and shoulder over the others as did Joe Morgan on Saturday and Ron Rescigno three times past.

COPYRIGHT 1957 THE COCA·COLA COMPANY ,, ~Go to Gettysburg For Tilt Tomorrow The Wilkes College League, still suffering from poor attendance, showed two teams winning by forfeit in last Sunday night's bowling. The Bagel Benders took an automatic four-point win from the Faculty team when John Reese turned up as the sole representative of that squad . The Benders, rolling for average, rang up 1,334 ;pins. Allen Luster led with 141-393, followed by Larry Choper, 133-335; Jerry Roth, 134-332; and Merle Cohen, 109-274. Reese's solo performance produced games of 150, 129 and 167 for a 446 series.

Joe Ackourey led the Tatoo's with his 162-452. Al Ulman had 158-419, Rose Weinstein ,rolled 147-395, and Fran Bishop had 145-374. The losers turned in nice games to boost their ave rag e s, even though they lost the match. John Sa,piego had 138, 149 and 156 for a 443 series; Jim Ross bowled a ver" respectable 471 on games of 163, 159 and 149. The most exciting match of the evening took place when the Teertotalers and the Sandbaggers collided and came out with a split decision, 2-2, on a.Jleys 1 and 2. Paul Katz. led the Teetotalers to a 40-pin win in the second game with his 204, hi!!"h game for the night. Katz had a 451 series. The Sandbaggers, who lost the las.t two games, rode on their 98pin bulge g-ained in the first game to pick up the fourth point on total pins. In that first game, Dan Lewis and Bill Duffy led with 164 and 16Q while th e Teetotalers floundered.

Confession! At the start of the game, the ·waniors went on the warpath, but were thwarted on their drive by a determined band of Colonels. In the second period the Wilkes line, led by the outstanding defensive play of Pete Winebrake, held the Warriors in check. Late in the second quarter, the visitors broke the scoring ice when halfback Bill Smith smashed over the goal-line on a one-yard plunge. B u r t Richardson converted the extra point try.

Though no official figures are available, returns have not yej; reached full ex,pectations, as many students have been absent from classes. Students who have not made their contributions as of today are asked to do so as soon as possible. The coHege's goal is $-3,850. Of this, the student body must raise $1,000. Each student is 11,~ked ,tq contribute at le11,st one dollar. In view of the many services one m11,y receive from the Uni j; e d Fup.d throiighout the year, t}lis is a smaJI amount to contribute tow11,r!i its support.

Mr. Alfred Groh, director of the show, announced that the ,dance hall girls' for the musical have bee1: chosen. ~e ~ix girls are: Jozia Mieszkowski, Jonelle Carey, Gail Roman, N1ck1 Rosenbaum, Arlene Martin, and Lanna Planitzer. Dancers will be directed by Josia Mieszkowski, who is in charge of choreography for the production. Pat Ide, publicity chairman, annoi.mced that rp u b 1 i c it y is well underway, since articles are appearing in the local papers advertising the m u s i c a 1, and since .posters are appearing on campus.

The property committee is collecting v a r i o u s items for set decorations, so don't be surprised if you see s o m e o n e wandering around the campus toting .p icks and shovels. They're for authenticity in Paint Your Wa,gon. The skrim, a gauze sheet for in front of a ,b ackdrop, has arrived from New York. Now that it has arrived, the girls of Cue 'n' Curtain are .g etting out their needles, for sequins and stars have to !be sewn on the -skrim. Twelve girls from the campus were picked to serve as usherettes for the . show. They will wear authentic cowgirl outfits, and will appear in one of the production numbers.

Though :ticket sales have been good, some doubt existed as to the use of student activity passes. Paint Your Wagon will be featured four days, November 6~9, at the lrem Temple in Wilkes-Barre. Thursday has been set aside for students from area colleges. Season tickets are available, for the price of $5.50, which will .be good for the three productions to be presented by Cue 'n' Curtain: Paint Your Wagon, Witness For The Prosecution, and Holiday. The use of s rt u d e n t activity passes on one day only, will be followed for the three plays. At this time there is no indication that there will 'be any tickets sold at the door. Season tickets can be obtained from the Cue 'n' Curtain committee: Chairman Ray Litman, Betsy Hoeschele, Anita Braff, Ron Christman, Dave Roe·b uck, Mike Piccarrata. by Frank Gallia The Wilkes Biology Club is sponsoring a sport dance .t onight at the college gym, with all proceeds to be donated to the United Fund drive. Dancing will be from 9 to 12, with Al Anderson's band providing the music. Last year the freshman and sophomore classes introduced the practice to the college of sponsoring a dance for the benefit of the United Fund. The practice will be continued this year, under the direction of the Biology Club, at this evening's dance. Several novelty dances have been scheduled for intermission. Refreshments will also 'be available. The donation is fifty cents. The co-chairmen for the dance are ,Ronald Olshefski and Martin Tansy. They are being assisted by the following committee chairmen: Tickets, Tony Puma; refreshments, Tom Dreisbach and Jer,ry Killian; publicity, John Schade and J·e rome Gutterman; ·b and, Theresa Mazzarella; cleanup, Ray Ozehoski; and chaperons, Gary de Hope. by As my contribution to campus confusion, I have agreed to do a frequent arlicle on public affairs. The title of this column is intended to indicate the policy of the writer (see dictionary). Just three weeks ago today, a small round object, literally hooting derision at the Free World, began its orbital journey into history. The U,S.S.R., using rocket engines with five times the thrust of the largest we have, launched a satellite or "Sputnik" weighing 184 pounds into an elliptical path varying from 170 to 570 miles above the Eaiith. This triumph coupled with the now undoubtedly successful firing of an intercontinental ballistics missile on August 26 has, at long last, jolted us out of the state of smug complacency into which we had been lulled by over-confidence in the judgments President Eisenhower and the deliberate half-truths released to us through a friendly press. Lt is now apparent that Russia is a technical grant second to no nation. It is no longer safe or relevant to rationalize her development of an atomic bomb three years before we expected her perfection of a thermonuclear device only a year after ours, and her successful release of an H-'b omb from a plane five months before us - by protesting that she stole our atomic secrets and used cap- tured German scienitists. The Soviet, by scrapping the latest Five-Lear Plan, has been able to concentrate on certain phases of science - relatively easy in a regimented society - and she now has the potential rto hit any spot in the U.S. with an atomic bomb. Neither the American p u b 1 i c, nor, I suspect, most Congressmen had any inkling of the scope of Russian accomplishments, so the largest amount of blame for the clamor for military budget limitations lies elsewhere. Although the -Central Intelligence Agency had no ,knowledge of the actual Sputnik launching until Tass, the Soviet news agency, informed a startled world, the administration had been warned in March of the ,p ossible launching of a Russian satellite in the second half of 1957. And according to Aviation Week, a respected technical magazine, U.S. radar stations had ,been tracking -Soviet missiles for two years. It is clear that our ipolicy makers (continued on page 6) NEXT ASSEMBLY Mr. J.

Homecoming Sports Program Starts RESCIGNO WINS CONFERENCE FAME, !!~n.!.~~lra Soccer Maleh al 10:30 GAINS ATHLETE TITLE THIRD TIME Tomorrow morning at 10:30 the Wilkes booters will meet the Hofstra soccer team in a match at Kirby Park. This match is in conjunction with the Homecoming activities and will be presided over by the Homecoming <),-.:.._Queen. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ This game is also the last home appearance of rthe Wilkes soccer team for this season. The hooters played their first home game of the season last night in a contest at the Kirby Park field. Because of the lateness of the maitch, and because the Beacon had gone to press, the results were not available for this story. Now back to the Homecoming match with the Long Island college. The Hofstra hooters went down before the guns of the Wilkes soccer team in last year's match by a 2-0 count. This year's edition of the Flying Dutchmen is a vastly improved club and has gotten off to a fine start this season. The team is coached by Paul Lynner and he has back all 'but two of last year's stars. Hofstra, after giving up soccer about a decade ago, have fielded a very good :team since they renewed competition in 1955. The Wilkes hooters are ready for a hard fought match and are expecting a fast contest. The Colonels suffered a setback this last week when Clarence Michaels came wp with a blood clot in his leg. This letterman will be lost to the hooters for about two weeks. Except for this injury, the team is in excellent physical shape. Coach _Tim Ferris has contemplated no major changes in his starting lineup for the Homecoming match. The defensive ,p lay of Colonel cocaptains Ed Masonis and Tony Bianco has been outstanding. Both halfbacks have been in the thick of every game so far. Coach Jim Ferris is depending upon both to bolster the backfield in the rugged Hofstra match. Again for the information of the spectators, the 'hooters' home field is located .b etween the tennis courts and the dike at the rear of Kirby Park. The Wilkes hooters are away for their next game next Wednesday at East .St r o u d s b u r g State Teachers College. In this match, the Wilkes team meets one of the best soccer :teams in the East. The Teachers team was the national champion in 1951. And this year's club is a replica of their usual strong teams; they pass well and are strong on defense. The Wilkes hooters have never defeated the East Stroudsburg :team, and this year's Colonels are out to break the losing streak. Ed Masonis Named 'All East' Back In Weekly ECAC Poll; Records 93-Yard Romp Ron Rescigno once again is the Beacon's "Athlete of the Week". The opinion of this paper's staff of sportswriters is shared by the sportsminded of the Atlantic seaboard, for he was named to the All East t eam of the week by the E a s t er n ,Colleg-e s Athletic Conference on the strength of his fine performance in the startling 39-0 upset of Ursinus last Saturday. Ron gained a total of 120 yards from scrimmage, scored two touchdowns, set u,p another with a 38yard breakthrough, and turned in the longest run recorded in any of Saturday's collegiate games. The run was started on the Wilkes seven-yard line when the speedy little hustler took the second half's opening kickoff, scooted up t he right side of the field, reversed his direction twice, eluded s e v er a 1 would-be tacklers, and outraced :the last two Bear saftey men to record * * * * * Ronnie Rescigno Est. 1871 ··rri!it •:;/Jt.

The quarte1·back, to add to the distinguished company Ron keeps these days, is Navy's Tom For-. res-ta!, who completed 10 out of 17 pass attempts, scored once, and rang up a total of 135 yards.

Most of the college's clubs and organizations have been busily iplanning and preparing their decorations during the past weeks. Following ere some of the displays which will be seen around campus. Members of the Biology Club are including a large, colorful tepee in their display. The decorations, which adorn the lawn between Chase Hall and the Library, include a load of dynamite, and the Wilkes Colonel is standing by, ready to ".b last off" the Lycoming Warriors. Theta Delta Rho girls are reSIJ)onsible for the decorations on the lawn in front of Chase. This display contains the Wilkes Colonel standing between two warriors. Two totem poles nearby convey the impression that the Golo_n els can turn the warriors into worriers. The musicians of Gies Hall have a display to capture the fancy of ell local space-enthusiasts. Sputnik is the central theme of this display, and from outer space Colonel Wilkes is spying on the Lycoming Warriors. The Economics Club display at tI_>ickering features the W i Ike s Colonel holding a football in one hand, and totaling up the score of the game on a calculating machine with his other arm. Names of our football players appear on the keys ·o f the ca l c u l at or. The chief warrior is seen pleading for mercy of the C o l o n e l, following the warriors' defeat in the battle. · . Sturdevant's e d UC a t O r S are -feat~ng a large blackboard de~icting various football players. Two football players are on the ~cene, both commenting on the g11me. In addition to these and other displays by cailllJ)us organizations, the dorms contribute much color to the local seene. : Sterling Hall is the scene of a· three-dimensional p i c t u r e of a warrior beating upon a tom-tom, with the Wilkes Colonel standing by, beating the warrior on his head.

Ron's performance on Saturday brought his total yardage for the year to a very respectable 338 in four games, which should place him high in the running for Conference leadershi>p in this department. Ron's selection to the honor of the Athlete of the Week was no problem in the light of the above honors, but the selection committee faced a perplexing problem this week. Ron would probably be the first to admit that the victory was a team effort. Were it the .policy of the Beacon to make multi-pie awards for members of the same Wilkes team, thre would be 18 men named to t he title this week. The team was superb both on offense and on defen se, but few will deny that Rescigno's leadership and fire inspired his mates to excell in such j a manner. For that reason, Ron was named this week's winner in , a close balloting over seventeen other great guys.

Russia now deals from a p o s i t i o n of strength, witness, Khrushchev's tough talk to Turkey and his •bold notes to European Socialists.

MATMEN TO DRILL MONDAY IN GYM Coach John Reese has issued the call for the grapplers to begin flexing their champions' muscles and report for workouts on Monday, October 28. S e v e r a I good men were lost through graduation last year and new material is needed to replace them. Coach Reese stated that be is looking for new blood to get some depth on his squad. He emphasizes the fact that no p1·evious ex,p erience is required, that men are welcomed to come out to the gym and give the sport a trial. There may not be a lot of newcomers who will make the starting squad at once, but they will be able to gain valuable e~perience and get themselves a good head start for later seasons. The Wilkes campus will be the wrestling capitol of the East this year, with the gym being the scene of two major tournaments. The firs,t of these will -be the annual Holiday Tournament, dubbed the "Rose Bowl" of wrestling which is attended each year by hundreds of wrestlers from Pitt, Navy, Michigan, and many other big schools. The other tourney will be the Middle Atlantic Conference championships, the tournament won last year by the Colonels. Defending Veterans' Air Reserve Are you a veteran? Do you need money? -Do you want to help your country as well as yourself? If your answer to these questions is "yes", you may be interested in a newly formed organization, the 8457 the Air Terminal Squadron. Meetings will take place one weekend a month ( 4 days regular base pay). There will also be an active duty tour, which will be held at McGuire A.F.B., New Jersey. It will last for two weeks and there will be 15 days regular base pay. The location of the 8457th Air Terminal Squadron is the Air Reserve Center, Wilkes-Barre, Penna. the title on their own c a m p u s should be more incentive for the Colonels to show the Conference what a fine team they really are. The team will be led this year by co-captains Jim Ward, 1957 Beacon Athlete of the Year, and hard-working Dave Thomas. These men, along with Coach Reese, are looking forward to a fine turnout, not only of freshmen, but men from all classes. Rosters will be published in a few weeks, after Reese has had a chance to evaluate his candidates and ,pick his 1957-58 squad. • ANY SALT worth his salt will gripe when told to paint a dull hull, varnish a vast mast, or swab a dank plank.

MqttiQU Pep Rally to be Held Next Friday Evening At Kingston Bonfire by Barbara Vose The School S•p irit Committee has started the year with flying colors by laying plans for a combined parade, bonfire, and pep rally. The tentative program begins with the forming of a parade, including the band, cheerleaders, a car caravan, and Wilkes students backing them up, in front of Chase Hall on Friday, October 25, at 6:30 P.M. Also, the traditional Wilkes Colonels will make their first appearance of this year. Elected by the School S•pirit Committee, they are Andy Pavlock and Charles Kirschner. Clubs and dorms are asked to enter their individual cars in the caravan, perhaps using decorations which will carry out their Homecoming theme. The Homecoming queen and princesses, the coaches, and teams will ride in the first few cars. A -p rize will be awarded to one of the competing cars. The parade will go to a designated place in Kingston where a bonfire and pep rally will be held. This is in preparation for the soccer and football games which are to -b e held the following day. The program will be over by nine so that the students may proceed to the dance sponsored by the Biology Club. ASSEMBLY CANCELLED Mrs. Gertrude A. Doane. dean of women, announced that next Tuesday's assembly has been cancelled. The assembly, which was to be presented by the Cue 'n' Curtain, was cancelled because of illness of many cast member!J. Miss Phyllis Ruby is the feature attraction of the "Club Oasis" and is well qualified as a night club entertainer. She has ap.peared in various resort hotels and night clubs in the Poconos, along the New Jersey shore and in Florida. She has also released a record, "Hey There, Baby", on the Arco label. Miss Ruby is appearing at the Twin Grill - Europa Lounge nightly with the Lee Vincent quintet. The Diplomats, a talented and · versatile ensemble appearing in, this area for the first time, will p·rovide music for dancing. To carry out the theme of a night club, various members of the Junior Class will serve as waiters for thirsty dancers desiring refreshment. There will be cigarette girls in the traditional outfits and, pf course, coat-checking girls.

Presently the group is planning a bonfire which is tentatively scheduled for next Friday. This activity is designed to create more enthusiasm within the student body and to begin the Homecoming festivities. School spirit cannot be developed merely because a group of people get together to sponsor an activity, however. It can only be developed when every student shows his interest in the college by supporting athletic teams and social organizations. Last year's Homecoming was the best ever in the history of the college because of the enthusiasm shown by students, members of the faculty, and members of the Alumni Association. We can all enjoy the same type of affair this year if everyone will let his hair down and join in the festivities next weekend. Last year's Homecoming was a memorable one; let's make this year's even better. Need New Shoes? Tom McHale, who has been a regular advertiser in the Beacon to date, is offering a free pair of The Hub's well-known Bostonian shoes to some lucky Wilkes male. Mr. McHale, because of his interest in local schools, has stated that the shoes will be given away if one hundred men from the college will stop in the shoe department of The Hub and register as contestants for a drawing, which will be held after the hundredth student has registered. There is nothing to buy, no obligation. Simply go in and sign up with Tom McHale. Who knows? You may be the lucky winner of a pair of Bostonian shoes. Give the United Way Support the United Fund Once again the college has made an appeal to every student to donate a very small amount of his spending money to a worthy cause, the United Fund Drive. This is the only time of the year that we are asked to donate money to any charity, but we are frequently given free public services, such as the Chest X-rays sponsored by the Pennsylvania State Department of Health. -Jan WIL~ COLLEGE BEACON A newspaper published each week of the regular school year by and for the students of Wilkes CoUege, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS Friday, October 18, 1957 by Dick Bibler During the past two years, over $2500 has been given or pledged to the improvement and development of Wilkes College by members of the student body and recent graduates_ The agency which is responsible for this valuable aid has been the Class Memorial Fund Plan - a plan conceived in their sophomore year by this year's graduating class and adopted by every class since that time, beginning with the class of 1956. The plan was introduced by Dave Vann, a senior this year. Graduating classes since time immemorial have given class gifts to their colleges as a means of perpetuating the memory of their classes_ Many times because of insufficient funds, the gift was of no consequence or of little value. to the college. Usually, in order to make up for this lack of funds, each member of the senior class was assessed just when it could be least · afforded - in the senior year. In addition, the gift was often destroyed because of the physical changes on the college campus. After considering these problems, the class memorial plan was originated so that the graduates could ~ive something worthwhile with the minimum of difficulty. By class direction,the funds are to be raised from an assessment of $1.00 per semester for each student. Upon the request of the classes adopting the plan, Dr. Farley directed the com1>troller to add $1.00 to each student's tuition which would enable the classes to have the funds collected and recorded for them without any bookkeeping ;problem on their ,p art. The funds then would be used as the classes decide in their senior year. It has proved to be highly successful with only a minimum of financial strain on the individual student. A report of the class memorial funds follow: Class Memorial Funds Class of 1956 .... . . .. $ 407.80 591.00 Class Class Class Class of of of of 1957 1958 1959 1960 .. . . .. .. . .. .. ... . 998.80 596.57 350.00 565.00 $2,510.31 The Class of 1956 also contributed a Trophy Case in addition to the Memorial Fund and an Alumni Fund. The Class of 1957 gave a globe as a gift to the college, in addition to the Fund. Each year the Memorial Fund Report is publicized in the Beacon and in the Alumnus, Alumni magazine, so that everyone is informed of their class achievement. The class funds of 1958 and 1959 are not yet completed and are still growing. The class of 1960 will begin the fund this year as voted upon by the class last spring. As indicated by the class of 1956 report, annual alumni contributions will be added to the class totals each year so that at any time, the graduating classes can see how much they have given to the college through their memorial funds and •purposes for which it was used. The Class Memorial Fund is a new idea in class and alumni giving designed to be of service to the college in years to come.

During the week of November 4, all Orientation Classes will meet at their regularly scheduled times in the Projection Theater. There is only one of "us". "We" exist in only one body and "our" opinions are the product of one mind. But "we" are "we" as a matter of journalistic form. In the early Nineteenth Century, the editorials of a newspaper were written by one man, the editor. When he expressed an opinion, it was prefixed with: "I believe . . . " Later in the century newspapers became Big Business and complexity of organization led to editorial staffs and soon the 'T' was replaced by the editorial "we". Since that time the use of the first person plural has spread so that today it is used almost exclusively. "We", in "our" column, therefore adopted this form of expression, which also is used by nearly every columnist in the field of journalism. When "we" express an opinion, it is "our" singular opinion and not that of this newspaper or an official statement of the Beacon's policies. We are "ONLY ONE" member of the editorial staff. However, as a columnist "we" have the right to differ in opinion with the views of the editor. This right was established by the late Heywood Broun of the New York World and WorldTelegram, notably in his championing of Sacco and Vanzetti. Since that time editors have realized that readiness to show both sides of an argument emphasizes to the readers that the paper is broadminded and fair. For Example We do not agree with the majority opinion of the editors on the matter of the selection of the Homecoming Queen. We feel that the honors should go to the senior girls, the ones who have earned the respect and confidence of the students and faculty and have proved that they are worthy of the honors bestowed. Not that we have anything against any of the previous Cinderellas or Homecoming Queens, but from the standpoint that girls who are popular as freshmen may not even remain at Wilkes for their degree, but may leave for any number of reasons_ There has been some favorable comment on the proposal from the faculty and students, but so far no one has made a survey of student opinion as a whole. We did do some looking into the situation ourselves. Last week we had the pleasure of interviewing one of Wilkes' royal ladies, Miss Jacqueline Oliver. In case you're a frosh, Jackie was Cinderella in 1955. She had some interesting comments. For one thing, she agreed with us that the honor of being Cinderella means a good deal more to a senior than it does to a freshman. Jackie stated that having won the title as a frosh was a thrill, but that the honor would have been a great deal more meaningful if she had been a senior. Moreover, it made for awkward situations the following year and last year when she was nominated again. What girl would not like to be Cinderella, but she didn't want to deprive the others of a chance. And yet, how many times could she refuse a nomination without injuring the feelings of the friends who had nominated her? P.S. We still think that she's lovely and charming enough to be Cinderella, even though she's now an "old" senior. Scattershots After chewing out the Paint Your Wagon cast at one of those rehearsals where everything seems to go wrong, Al Groh made amends as follows: "I apologize, but I don't take back a word I said!" Sometimes the only thing that keeps Wilkes students going is the lack of a parking place. A hobby is a habit that costs money. But don't worry, money isn't everything; good health is 5%. Then there's the one about the homesick artificial moon that looked down as it passed its home base and saw a glow. Whereupon it radioed back: "Is satellite in the window for me?" You Never Had It So Good! Next time anyone complains about the Beacon, were going to refer them to Louis Fischer's latest book, Russia Revisited. He states: "Soviet newspapers are as unappetizing as regurgitated dishwater and as exciting as the minutes of last month's meeting of the board of directors of a zipper·factory." The book is an interesting commentary on life in the Soviet Union. Fischer, who lived in Moscow from 1922 to 1938 as a foreign correspondent, returned in 1956 and spent his entire stay talking with the people of Russia and the satellite nations. The crowded living conditions are disclosed - four or five persons living in one room with no plumbing, while the state builds skyscrapers to honor its "heroes". Soviet incomes are compared with those of the United States. The average Russian worker's 500-800 roubles per month would be equal to about $200 maximum in greenbacks at the official rate of exchange. However, at that rate an egg sells for 25 cents, cotton pajamas for $66.75, and an ice cream cone for 50 cents. Political conditions have changed in Russia since the death of Stalin, according to the author. People are more willing to discuss and even, albeit quietly, criticize their government. Fischer writes about people he knows and of those he meets on the streets. His style is direct and readable. One of the best sections of the book is the description of the Poznan Revolution, which is quite vivid, as though one were re-living the experi(continued on page 6) �Friday, October 18, 1957 3 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON GIVEN BY MERCK CO.

PLAYOFFS In Rushing, Third for Sam Puma Possible. Slarler Total Yardage by ECAC As Early-Season ln1ury Heals by Jim Hennighan The hooters will play Bucknell this afternoon at Lewisburg, Pa., in a new game added to the schedule. This brings the total of Middle Atlantic Conference games to six, the minimum required for eligibility to the MASCAC postseason playoff tournament. The Bisons and Colonels have been in some thrilling games during their series. Two years ago, for instance, the teams battled to a 2-2 tie. Last season they went at it again with another frustrating tie game, this time by a 1-1 score. The Wilkes soccer team opens its home stand this coming Thursday, October 24, in a match with Philadelphia Textile Institute at Kirby Park The match starts at 3 P.M. and the field, for the information of those who have never attended before, is located along the dike opposite the tennis courts. The Philadelphia team has always had a very good record and last week the current team showed good power and :balance in tying a very powerful Howard University squad, in a one-one match. The Textile team is loaded with talent and is the slickest ball handling 1 club the Wilkes hooters will meet. The ball handling ability is provided by the foreign born players that man the forward wall for the Philadeliphia ,h ooters. That city is in itself a hotbox of enthusiasm for soccer. Therefore, experienced players are always available. The ,Colonel boo.ters lost to the Textile team by a 3-1 count last year and are out to avenge the defeat come Thursday afternoon. Coach Jim Ferris' hooters appear to be in excellent physical shape for the coming contest with no a,p parent injuries. In addition they are in excellent spirits after the 3-0 Rider victory and have a right to be, for Coach Ferris had praise for the whole team in what he called a "team victory" over a rugged Rider squad. So with the first home game of the season, and an excellent one at that, being played at Kirby Park on Thursday, October 24, here is your opportunity to come out and cheer your hooters on to their second victory. For many this will be the first soccer match they have ever seen, but whether a new fan or an old one, get out and root for your team on Thursday. 1 by Dick Myers, Sports Editor There was a question raised during the pas.t few days over last issue's 'Athlete of the Week'. The question concerned itself with the cho-ice of a man who stopped twenty-some scores in a losing game over a man who scored three goals himself in the first win. The answer is now rather evident, •b ut still needs •p ossible clarification. This is simple to do when one has concrete exam.pies to use. The game for which Bob Payne was chosen last issue's honored guest was played on Saturday, the last day of the week. Any athlete who ,p layed up to that day was eligible for selection to the award. The game in which Nick Giordano scored three goals was played last Wednesday and for which he is this issue's 'Athlete of the Week'. It's really quite simple to explain when one understands that last week's games had no bearing whatsoever on last week's award winner. In fact, Payne had been chosen before Wednesday's game had even been played. For all we know, he might have been the outstanding player of Wednesday's contest and then would have been this week's winner. The winners are chosen on Tuesday night - Beacon :publication night - for games ending the previous Saturday. That's all there is to it. For those who are curious about the method of selection, we must remind .them that the men so chosen in no way reflect the opinions of coaches, other players, or fans in general. The "Athlete of the Week" feature is a Beacon ,p roject, and the men honored are chosen by the Beacon sports staff. In that maitter, this writer has one vote, just as his reporters have. It is true that we often ask the coaches and other .p layers for advice in our selections, but these queries are personal, and as such, are only used as guides for the aid of one man in making his selection. THE SAME OLD PROBLEM The ,bowling leagues began with the College League rolling in an absence-studded night last Sunday. This is particularly discouraging to those who are responsible for the league's existence but is quite annoying .to the teams who had at least .p a1tial representation. Anyone who agrees to participate in such an activity has obligations to fulfill, if not to go to participate unfailingly, at least to give ample notification of their inability to participate. Out of the eighteen people who failed to put in an appearance last week, only two had notified their captains beforehand. It is true that this was ,t he first week of action, therefore, some confusion may have been the cause of the trouble. Even the members of the Faculty team were laoking in their co-operation. This is a good time ,t o nip the thing in the bud. There will be schedules posted and ,p ublished, team captains will be aware of all details regarding their nights of bowling, ,t hus we should e~pect no more failures, which may give the College a bad name with its community affiliations. Anyone - who .put his name on the .list posted on the bulletin board has signified his desire to be a :part of the program; it should not then be left to the directors and team captains to face the embarrassments to which they were subjected last week. MORE ABOUT AN "OL' COLONEL" Cliff Brautigan, formerly of Wilkes and now with .t he Jersey Sharks professional football team, suffered a shoulder separation in the game with the Venango (Delaware) Bears. It was the Sharks' second game of the season and their second win. Brautigan earned a starting berth on the 60-man squad as offensive tackle. Last week, the pros' coach cut the team Ito 45 men, but still carries Brautigan on the roster, which could be an indication of the wo1th of the former Wilkes athlete to the "play-for-pay" ,b oys. Tomorrow afternoon the Colonels will take a trip to Ursinus Ronnie Rescigno, who has been making news on the local scene, College in Collegeville, Pa., with nothing on their minds but has added the wire services to his their first win of the year. lis.t of news media.

MILLER ACCEPTED TO MEDICAL SCHOOL UNITED FUND DRIVE WILL BEGIN MONDAY by Dorothy Ford 1'he goal of Wyoming Valley for th e United Fund campaign is $1,299,000. Of this amount, Wilkes is expected to contribute $3,850. Last year the -s tudent body contributed $880. This year, because of the greater enrollment, it is estimated that the students will be able to collect $1,000 for the fund. The various clubs, which in past years have given donations, are once again urged to participate to help make the drive a successful one. Faculty members, the administration, and the maintenance workers will be working hard to raise the remainder or $2,850. Added credit should be given to those students who not only contribute as individuals, but as members of the various clubs as well. Dr. Reif, head of the United Fund Drive for Wilkes, commented that last year the students showed much enthusiasm about the campaign. With such enthusiasm a11d much partici,pa,tion in the drive this year, it is expected that Wilkes can show its interest in the valley, just as the valley has shown its interest in Wilkes.

However, to date NO NOMINATIONS HA VE BEEN RECEIVED. We feel that the Queen and her court should be nominated by th~ir fellow classmates, not by the Beacon staff; but if no letters of nomination are written, there will be no other alternative. T4e Beacon is not introducing this system of selection this year. We are merely following last year's procedures. We feel that everyi girl on campus is worthy of the title so we cannot understand why none of our co-eds have been nominated. ANY GIRL ELIGIBLE Contrary to any opinion expressed by ONLY ONE member of the editorial staff, ANY girl is eligible to compete regardless of her class. Every member of the judging committee was asked if he preferred to limit the competition to seniors or if the selection should be based on the entire enrollment at the college. ONLY ONE member felt that the judging should be restricted to include only seniors; every other member voted to maintain the traditional rule that all girls nominated should be considered for the title. ALUMNI COOPERATION The Alumni Association is working hard to make this year's Homecoming one of the best ever held at the college.

Letter to the Editor •.• Dear Madam Editor: We, the men of Warner Hall, both freshman and upperclassmen, are appalled and grieved by the antics of a certain notorious senior. This senior, amazingly enough, holds a respectable position as one of the representatives of his class to the student council. One of the things that amazed us with this senior is that he was recently a member of the Tribunal. We alwa ys thought that Tribunals were set up to administer justice, but apparently this is not so. We also thought that members of a Tribunal should be the first to uphold the philosophy of such an organization. We were repulsed and disgusted when we heard that this "high. minded" s e n i o r student council member and Tribunal representative had the effrontery and brass to compel a "lousy frosh" to get down on her hands and knees and eat grass. We were doubly repulsed to note that the "frosh" concerned was a girl. But, what really made us sick to the stomach, disgusted, repulsed, and words that we cannot use, was the recent action of this notorious individual at the Freshman Dance Friday evening. We'd like to ex t en d our compliments to the young lady involved, for holding her temper. We extend our sympaty to her, that she was subjected to a proposal by such an egotistical and such an inferior creature as the jackass involved. We were reminded of the section in the freshman handbook that talked about social ostracism for the "frosh" who could not live up to the standards of a freshman. We suggest social ostracism for this egotistical slob who has become a senior in college, a sergenat in the Air Force, reached the age of manhood, and yet who has never been able to lean, the social amenities and the qualities of decency and humanity t h a t characterize even the lowliest "frosh" who has ever entered Wilkes. Joe, the men of Warner salute you.

What the "Club Oasis" is has been kept a dee,p secret but plans were finally revealed •to this Beacon reporter. The "Club Oasis" is the name of the nightclub that the Junior Class plans to open for one evening only on October 18. The night club f o rm a t will be followed throughout the evening. There will be a " cover charge" for all couples who attend, payable at the door or to any class member selling tickets. The Junior Class plans to have waiter s and cigarette and coatcheck girls on duty for most of the e v en in g. There will be a maitre 'de at the door to escort couples to their tables. Reservations for the tables at the dance ca,n be made by telling the class member to whom you give your cover charge the names of the people in the group that you wish at your table. The tables will be attractively decorated in the nightclub theme. Music will be provided by The Diplomats, and Phyllis Ruby, recording ar, will be featured. Dancing will be from 9 to 12.

In her f r eshman year, she received the mathematics major, is teaching a Friday, October 11, 1957 .. (continued on page 5) Money Matters It's that time of the year again. The student organizations have all submitted their budgets to the Student Council. As usual, the requests exceed the amount given by the Administration to the Council. Thus our representatives are stuck with the thankless task of paring the budgets, without impairing the services provided. This year the council has $12,360 to distribute. Last year's council had $11,000 to apportion between nine different activities. This was done with a ]illinimum of confusion and a maximum of efficiency. But then, at the end of the "bookkeeping year", it was reported that the Extra Curricular Activities (ECA) Fund was some $1400 in the red. In some cases the reported deficits were correct as stated, although in others the situation appears to have been remedied or at least improved by late receipts. So, that, in the final analysis, the fund did not fare as badly as the bookkeeping "system" would lead one to believe. Be that as it may, it ROOM TO GROW appears that this year's allocation to the fund has been based on last year's $11,000 with the $1,360 increase being added to offset amounts that the activities allegedly went into the ho 1 e last year. And this y ear there's another organization sharing the fund! By the way, did you ever wonder what became of the half of one per cent that was cut f r o m the ECA allotment? We still have nothing but rumors. A Deserved Tribute This deparhnent today salutes a man who has devoted the last three years to making the Class of 1958 one of the most unified and strongest classes ever to grace this campus. B e g i n n i n g in the Freshman year, he took the reins and led the class to a year of financial and social success. In the past two years the class h a s progressed i n this vein, growing sounder and more sure of itself under his "Hope they fit at the end of the year, Ronnie!" leadership. He was originator of many novel and unusual events on campus; many others were not his own ideas, but were pushed by him and thus became realities. Among the many accomplishments of this individual we can list the establishment of the Class Memorial Fund (an idea imitated by most succeeding classes); the annual Class Banquet and Dance; the creation of a Class Council, with representatives from all departments; and the ever-popular Beard Dance. Besides his untiring work for the Class of '58, he also has done a great deal for the college as a whole. This senior was the chairman of the School Spirit Committee, which attempted to get some positive response out of the students in the way of support for the athletic program. To this end, the idea of a parade and bonfire was brought up and carried out under his able leadership. The list of his accomplishments could go on to mention that he founded the Wilkes College chapter of the Collegiate Conference for the United Nations, carried out a hazing program, started the selling of chrysanthemums at the Homecoming game and originated the Chrismtas holiday dance. These are but the most notable of his achievements. We have not mentioned the numerous class meetings he ran, the work at dances, supporting himself with one or more jobs off campus and keeping up with studies. We take this opportunity to load all 21 guns for a salute toDave Vann. Welcome to the Space Age Dr. Stanko Vujica, head of the Philosophy and Religion Department, says it should come as no surprise that Russia was the first to launch an artificial moon. They've had so much experience in creating satellites.

It Carroll was noatchore to follow Mr. Groh's suggestion to let the imagination fill in for any lack in stage setting. For a few moments the audience did not see the stage of the gym as such, but as a Victorian drawing room; a study belonging to Professor Higgins, or an Irish cottage. The first scene that Miss Carroll and Mr. Rosqui reproduced was from Wilde's play, The Importance of Being Earnest", in which the young lady, receives a suitor called Earnest. A convenient coincidence, for she says she has always wanted to love someone named as such. In .the course of the conversation she admits that he "produces vibrati_ons" in her, but finally rejects him beca,use of his lowly birth. As a baby, he had been found in a hand bag in Victoria Station.

His is the compact body of the man who has spent considerable time on the playing field; hard and firm, capable of instantaneous execution of the demands of the mind. This semester he will :put to good use the experience gained through a half lifetime of playing and coaching in the :performance of his duties as head coach of the Wilkes football squad. By no means a newcomer to sports at Wilkes, Dean Ralston serves as Director of Athletics for the school. Four years of varsity football and baseball at Susquehanna High School prepared him for participation in the same sports at the 1University of North Carolina, as a result of which he received Grail Scholarship trophies. J ncidentally, while at the university;·· Dean Ralston roomed with George Stirnweiss, who was later to achieve fame as second baseman for the New York Yankees. World War II saw Dean Ralston in khaki, and in 1946 he was discharged from the Army with the rank of major, whereupon he came to Wilkes and was appointed Director of Athletics. That fall, he Coach Ralston spark-plugged the football team with uncommon zeal, leading the squad to an impressive undefeated, untied record. Again in 1949 he produced a superlative team, the highest-scoring in the state for that season. In 1955 Dean Ralston left Wilkes for a :period of one year to study for his doctorate at Columbia University, returning not only with his degree, but also with a wife, the f o r m e r Mrs. Helen Bitler Hawkins. During his absence Mr. Russell :Picton served as head grid coach. A graduate of Wilkes and president of both his class and the Letterman's Club in his senior year, Mr. Picton had worked under the Dean as an assistant coach for two year. An advocate of sports for everyone, Dean Ralston believes that such activities constitute an intrinsic part of education, providing opportunities for development not available in the classroom. Quoting a former president of Harvard College, the Dean r e f err e d to sports as '',probably the best lab in college," a place to develop such virtues as sacrifice, self-discipline, and self-reliance. During the course of a 60-minute football game, a quarterback is required to make a minimum of 163 instantaneous, un-aided decisions1 probably more than those made by a business executive in a month. Dean Ralston intends to employ a basic single-wing attack this year, as he has in the past. INTRAMURAL BOWLING SEASON TO OPEN OCTOBER 6 AT J.C.C. The Intramural bowling season is tentatively scheduled to begin operations · in the newly renovated Jewish Community Center alleys on Sunday, October 6. All persons interested in participating are urged to get their names on the list posted on the bulletin board outside the cafeteria. Becaus·e of the new automatic pin-setters, the -p rice of the games has been raised by the JOC to 45 cents. Shoe rental is 15 cents. The trophy fund fee will remain at 5 cents per game, in spite of the rising costs of trophies in the past year. Because of the automatic alleys, however, the necessity for tipping pinboys ha-s been banished, making the cost of bowling this season only slightly higher than last. A team handicap m et h o d of scoring will be employed {his year, it was announced ·b y student director Dick Myers. Instead of allowing more powerful teams to roll up huge margins over less fortunate ones, the averages of each team member will be added before the contest, and two-thirds of the difference in the totals will beawarded to the lesser team. That figure will be that team's handicap for the entire three-game series. For the first night of bowling, the first game will -be played_with no handicap. For the second contest, two-thirds of the difference in total pinfall will be awarded to the lesser team as their handicap for that game, then for the final match, the "spot" will ·b e determined by the totals of the first two games combined. From the first night until the end of the season, a running record will be kept of all bowlers, averages, and total pinfalls. A form listing the official league averages of all bowlers will be issued to each team c a p t a i n immediately preceding each series. If sufficient bowlers are avaitable, two leagues will be formed. With the automatic equipment, the JCC is open earlier than in the past, and both leagues will be able to bowl in the same night, giving everyone a chance .t o bowl every week rather than once every two weeks, as the hand-set lLll!S made THE GO FOR UM .. ..Today's most exciting cigarette!

This current is neither fa,vorable, complimentary, nor in some cases - well founded. It is not the intenNick Giordano tion of this r epor ter to present arguments which cannot be backed up · by sound logic, nor is there any intent to allow this column ,t o be used by irate fans and students as an outlet for their ire over the ha,pless eleven. There are, however, a· few comments which are stric-tly objective and pose merely academic problems which can be debatd without undue heat entering the discussion. The ma,i n complaint, of a technical nature, seems to be that the offense employed by the Colonels is outdated and ineffective. The results of games played to date seem to give this argument considerable merit. The single-wing formation is basically a power play, requiring a high degree of skill, fine timing, and a .backfield capable of ripping _ through a line at high speed. The linemen must be big, heavy, and fast. On paper, there is no reason why such a formation should be unsuccessful with the Wilkes squad. The fact of the matter is that with Last Friday night, a fired-up barely two full teams in uniform and in condition to play, the Colonels Ithaca team, led by Al Cain, ripped are sadly lacking the essential ingredient for a singl~wing team the Colonels hy a 19-0 score at. the manpower. 1 New York State home field.

Student director Ronnie Simms announced on W ednesda,y that the first teams to meet will be the Incinerators and the Dirty Rotten Low-down Hombres in one match, Ray's Recruits and the Engineers in the other. Coll.S'picuous by their aibsence this year are the Golden Trojans, the defending champions. There are no rosters available to the Beacon at the time of this writing, therefore i,t is not ,known whether the champs have been assimilated into other teams, or have decided to rest on their laurels. Perhaps the absence of team captain Elmer Snyder, who is not at Wilkes this semester, explains th e Trojans' •departure from the touch football scene. . . Oh ·T uesday, October 15, the Vets will take on the men of Gore Hall in one game, while the SixtyNiners will test the Freshman Six. On Wednesday, October 16, the Engineers will bang heads with John Wasiokannon's Incinerators, and the Dirty Rotten Low-down Hom :b re s will tackle the Ray's Recruits squad. The following day, Thursday, October 17, will find the Vets opposing the Freshman Six and Gore Hall against the Sixty-Niners. Mr John Reese Director of the Wilk~s intra-murai sports program, has asked the Beacon to publidze the fact that officials a,re needed for the league. There is no verification in this office at this time but it is believed that the official~ who volunteer to handle these games will be paid one dollar for their services.

The second period was hard-fought _ on fairly even terms, with no score. being made. In the third period, Giordano booted in a goal from 15 yards out to make the score 2-0. In the final period of play, he smashed in another from a scramble about five feet in front of the goal for the final touch. ·· Co-captain halfback Tony Bianco teamed up with goalie Bob Payne to turn in some brilliant defensiv&. play to keep the Riders thwarted on every scoring attem~t. In last 'Saturday's game at Elizabethtown, Payne was outstandingon defense, turning away over twenty shots, but the Blue Jays managed to smash in two counters. The second of these was scored by center-half White with only six minutes left in the game. Even in defeat, however, the Colonels looked good.

TWO CO-EDS TO SPEAK ROOMER'S RUMORS AT ED. CLUB MEETING by Marion J. Klawonn by Ruth Younger Indications predict that the program for the E d U C at i On Chm meeting October 17, at Sturdevant Hall will be exceptionally fine. Mary Lou Spinelli and Carolyn Goeringer will speak on the social conditions of Europe and show slides of that continent. These two co-eds are well qualified to speak on this topic, since they traveled in Europe this summer with the National Student Council of the YWCA and the YMCA. Their tour was quite extensive, including such countries as France, England, Italy, Germany, Yugoslavia, and the Netherlands. In these countries, the students observed several social and economic conditiohs which affect education. By understanding these conditions, it is hoped that our own American education system can be evaluated more thoroughly through comparisons. Joseph Ludgate, ,p resident of the club, will -p reside at a short business meeting following the program. Plans for the Homecoming Decorating Party, to •be held October 22, will be made. Last week, Rita Matiskella and Ruth Younger gave reports on the Na ti on a I Education Association Conference which they attended with Joseph Ludgate on September 27 and 28. Joe, who is also vicepresident of the Pennsylvania State Naitional Education Association for Students, led discussions at this conference. The topic was "The Purposes and Programs for the Local College Student Education Association of Pennsylvania". Apologies to Ashley Hall for not mentioning that they worked in cooperation wi-th Catlin in decorating the goal posts for the Lebanon Valley game. Jim Mosier a,nd the JDC have an n o u n c e d that the interdorm basketball season will begin as soon as the teams can be drawn up and the gym arranged for. Most of the dorms are enthusiastic about p I a yin g. Paul Schecter is in charge. Immediately after discussing the basketball s e a s on, the council brought up the necessity of emergency first-aid kits for the dorms. Whether these two subjects have any connection or not isn't cleaT at this writing. Speaking of basketball, Mary Rose Sidari tells us that she is ,t hinking seriously about joining the girls' basketball team, the Colonelettes. She claims that she is going to -be the team's secret weapon because she is short enough to run under the opposition instead of around them - Misericordia, beware! Rumor has it that one dorm girl had to hike across the Market Street bridge the other day because her car broke down. Sounds like a good idea for getting in shape for the oncoming interdorm basketball season. Mary Darling has been elected sports representative from Sterling Hall for this year.

A Wilkes student had parked in front of his driveway, and consequently the man could not move his car without going over his neighbor's lawn and a high curbstone. This person did some Wilkes student a big favor, he could have had the car towed away but he was nice enough not to, The next time something like this happens the student may not be so fortunate. , Anyone old enough to be in college should, by this time, have learned enough common sense to know some simple rules called courtesy. Unfortunately, only selfishness seems to guide some of the drivers on campus. - MJK WIUrnS COLLEGE BEACON A ,iewspaper published each week of the regular school year by and for the ·students of Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

CUE 'N' CURTAIN PRODUCTION SPONSORED BY KIWANIS CLUB by Peggy Kratz For the first time in the history of Wilkes College the Kiwanis of Wilkes-Barre is sponsoring the productions of Cue 'n' Curtain.

The fro s h form each dormitory put on various types of entertainment for the assembled upperclassmen. The affair is a part of dorm hazing. The final part of dorm hazing was held last night with the traditional "hell night" march downtown. Frosh were dressed in cositumes ranging from long underwear to pillow-stuffed dresses for their walk through the stores. The "hell night" march was started at W e c k e s s e r Hall and ended in Public Square. Catlin Hall was responstble for the little pennants and the crepe paper decorated goal p o s t s at Saturday night's game with Lebanon Valley. The Student Council appointed Dick Salus to contact the girls and plan for similar activities for the future games. Butler Hall held their dorm elections early in the semester. The following were elected: President, Reginald Mattioli; secretary, Dave Roebuck; house officers, Jay Keller and John Schade. ·Cliff Kobland reports that Gore Hall's intramural football team may very well win the title this year even though this is Gore's first year of .p lay.

Janet, a so,p homore music education major, was hospitalized after -b eing taken ill in the dorm. Tom Walsh, sophomore English student, was struck by a car last Sunday afternoon on North Pennsylvania Avenue and Beaumont Street. Tom received only minor injuries and was back on campus by Tuesday. Carol ,B reznay, senior sociology major, is beginning her sixth year at the Swoyerville C om m unity Center. Carol began her work in her junior year of high school as a volunteer aide. Since then she had received several promotions until last year when she was made full-time social director. Carol will continue her work in this capacity this year. She also works at the center during her summer vacations, and this summer her activities included coaching one of the area's Little League -baseball teams. Herr Disque, head of the modern language department, was honored at a birthday party last Friday afternoon. The ,party given by members of his German 206· class was held in his office preceding the Stark Dedication ceremonies. John Steve Wyda, senior journalism student, has been getting some practical experience in journalism by working at the "morgue" of the Wilikes-Barre Publishing Company. Freshman Hope Evans, who is Mr. Reese's, student secretary, will be the new attendance checker in assembly.

Unofficial response has been quite encouraging. The first recreational night is to ,be held next week, the exact date and time depending upon the availability of the gym. PARKING The Administration has expanded parking facilities for both the students and faculty during the past summer, but space is still at a premium. However, there are still same students who have not recognized this .fact. One still finds cars locked and left in spaces which ,b lock others from getting their vehicles out of the lots. We suggest a more courteous approach to the situation. Let's co-operate with the lot attendants and follow their directions. Careful parking will enable more cars to park in thelimited space available. And most important: if your car is blocking another car's exist, PLEASE LEAVE YOUR KEYS INSIDE! While we're on the topic, we would like to enlighten those members of the student body who feel that they've been "bit"' by the new schedule of parking fees. Actually, the precise· figures are not available, but it boils down to the fact that the)parking fees pay no more than five per cent of the costs of providing the facilities. The money received does not cover the cost of the time of the lot attendants. That does not even consider buying the properties, razing buildings, leveling, grading, paving, and the costs of the stickers. If students were charged for parking at a rate that would cover the costs of providing the space, it would be much cheaper to take the bus. Around the Campi The following bit comes from the Maryland J)iamondbaclc via the Bloomsburg Maroon & Gold: "Sophomores want their women to be like cigarettes, slender and trim, all in a row, to be selected at will, aflame and when the flame has subsided, discarded only to select another. "A junior wants ·h is women to be like a cigar. They're more expensive, make a better appearance and last longer. "A senior wants his girl to be like his pipe . . . something he becomes attached to, knocks gently but lovingly around and takes great care of at all times. . "A man will give you a cigarette, offer you a cigar, but will never share his pipe. "P.S.-Freshmen are too young to smoke!"

B!ology Club Receives Research Grant; STARK OFFICIALLY D· E·DICAT EDCiba Five Projects Outlined Eisenhower, Churchill Send Congratulations 'i'o Admiral H. R. Stark by Jim Eidam Under a bright autumn sky, an a u d i e n c e of over 900 -p ersons gathered on Stark Lawn last F _riaay afternoon for the ceremonies which officially dedicated the new Admiral Harold R. Stark Seience Hall. Admiral Ben Moreell, USN (ret.), was the princiipal speaker. The program commenced at 4:30 o'clock with an academic procession of honored guests, trustees, and faculty members. The program followed the order which was published in last week's issue of tne .Heacon. Dr. l<"arley, -prior ,t o introducing Admiral Jv.wreeU, stated how indebted the college was for this most generous gift. Stark Hall is an assurance that the first twentylive years of Wilkes College will bear fruit in all of the years which shall tollow them. Dr. Farley added tnat Wi1kes must not only .p erpetuate the name of Admiral .:starK, ,but also the high ideals for wnich he stood. Admiral ,vioreell's address began with an outline of the highlights of Admiral Stark's forty-sevenyear naval career, which was marked with four distinguished service medals. Moreell praised Admiral Stark for "endeavor and achievement far above and beyond the normal° requirements of duty." In further praise of his longtime friend Admiral Moreell declared: "Hi~ tireless energy, his sympathetic understanding of the foibles of human nature, his patience and quiet persistence in time of great stress ..•have set standards of personal conduct in the Naval Service which will never be exceeded and rarely equalled." The theme of Admiral Moreell's address was ,Science, Industry a.nd Education. Declaring that science, education, and religion are the three major cultural forces in the American society, he added that these three, to become effective, have to be sustained by a fourl;h element, which is industry, or the economic factor. Economic activity of America supplies the means for all our ends, and an intimate relationship between science, industry, and edu• cation is necessary for our achievement of social ,p ro.g ress, which is· necessary for our survival as a free nation. Admiral Moreen traced the recent change in the concept of science. He stated that Ka.rl Marx interpreted science as the only avenue to truth, and up to the present day the world has been de• ceived :b y Marx's followers who seek to mold society according to a master scientific plan.

There is no doubt that the 6:07 tailback was the most outstanding Colonel ,on the field as well as one of the best hacks that trod onto the bright green gridiron Sa.turday night at the new Kingston Stadium.

Ronnie, who is now in his fourth year of intercollegiate ball, carried the pigskin an amazing total of 26 times for 109 yards, better than four yards per carry. He was also involved in eleven pass plays. But more important was the "Runt's" never - say - die attitude.

He was getting hit hard as the Lebanon linebackers knew he was the man to stop. But he never gave up. He blocked like an All-American guard on reverses, tackled with authority, was all over the field shouting encouraging .words to his teammates. As in ,t he Hofstra tilt, and in the previous three years, he has been the force that has kept the fighting spirit alive in all of the Wilkes football squads. Fans of the college have wondered how the diminutive senior can keep going against overwhelming odds. The answer is s1JJ14)le. Rescigno loves the game of football and gives it all he has. And tha.t, in the case of Rescigno, is plenty. SUPEa-W!USTON PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS , Valley gave the Wilkes Colonels a football lesson on Saturday night at Kingston Stadium. Led by Tquarterback Bill DeLiberty, the Dutchmen found the Colonels' line no puzzle, scoring three times to register their first win of the season by a 21-0 count. DeLiberty was just a little less than super,b with his canny calls, pitchouts, and passing. He hit for a total of five completed passes out of ten attempts. llis baClkfteld men, Ed Slezosky, Bob Longenecker, and Len Holstein played their ,p arts beautifully in Coach McCracken's well-oiled machine. DeLiberty convel'ted all three extra point attempts. The Colonels, on the other hand, found their defense just not up to stopping the slashing charges of the Lebanon squad, their own offense lacking in nearly every department, but certainly not through any fault of any particular individual. The Wilkes squad was playing its usual hard-fought brand of football; it was simply a case of one team out-dassing another. That the defense of the Colonels' has improved since 1966 is evident in the manner in which the team has suffered its two defea.ts. Last year, the Lebanon squad took the measure of the Colonels, 39-6, and in the Hofstra ·t ilt, the Blue and Gold reduced last year's 40-0 score to a respectable 14-0. The thing ,t hat sent the Colonel fans home happy was the brilliant display put on by senior tailback Ron Rescigno (see "Athlete of the Week" story). Rescigno has made such play a pleasant ha:bit to ob(continued on page 5) There have ,b een fifty-nine people who have shown a desire to participate in this year's program. These people will be divided into two groups for Sunday's action. The first giroup will begin bowling at 6 :00 P..M. ,p romptly, the second group will follow immediately. I,t is hoped that everyone interested will make a sincere effort to be punctual in order that all may have a chance ,t o esta:blish an average. The Jewish Community Center is taking Sunday night away from its members who would like to bowl then, in order to give the college an opportunity to further its intramural recreational activities. Because of the concession the Center makes, it is necessary for the bowlers to shoulder a few responsi,b ilities in return. There will be two leagues bowling on the same night, one beginning at 6:00 ·P.M., ,t he other as soon as -p ossible after the first is finished. Each team will carry six members on its roster, but only five will ·bowl each time, giving some break for the pocketbook of each player. However, each team will be res,ponsible for five bowlers each week, and will be penalized for absent bowlers by paying the cost of the missing man's games. The Center expects to have two leagues of six teams, each with five players every Sunday night; a total of sixty three-game fees, and the College must live up to ,t hat figure out of courtesy for the hospitality offered. The first group, to meet at 6:00 P.M., •Sunday night, will be the following: Alley 7: Stan Yurkowski, Joseph Ackamey, Ray Litman, Dick Myers, Jim Judge. Alley 8: Fran Bishop, Jean Broody, Emil Pe tr a s e ik, Larry Choper, Ivan Pappanicholas. Alley 6: Hillard Hoffman, Dan Lewis, Dick Salus, John Sapiego, Mim Thomson.

Alley 3: Don Wilkenson, Al Ullman, John Macri, Bill Duffy. The second g r o up will begin bowling as soon as the first has finished, around 8 :00 P.M. Those in the second group are: Alley 3: Marion Klawonn, Doug Kistler, Carolyn Goeringer, Peter M~holik, Clete Miller. _ Alley 4: Barry Miller, Paul Schecter, M a, r i e Realmuto, John Reese, Art Hoover.

Rider College is the newest addition for this season. The Colonels journey to the Rider campus for a night game on October 9. After the addition of soccer to the varsity sports program here at Wilkes, and a lengthy losing streak, Rider was the first school the Wilkes hooters beat. They lost to Rider the last two years by close scores. The Rider contest is the scond game on the Colonels' slate, for they open the season Saturday, 0 c t o b er 5th, at Elizabethtown. Wilkes was one of the few teams that beat a very good Elizabethtown team last year. They did it by a 5-3 score. Since both squads are return i n g almost intact a thrilling game is expected. The Colonels appear to be in excellent physical shape, with no apparent injuries. The injured Bill Lloyd will make the trip and, depending upon the doctor's approval, may even get to play.

LETfERMEN'S RAFFLE TICKETS GOING F AS T Colonels to crack. The Colonels, smarting under the sting of two straight defeats at the hands of teams which they equaled or bettered in all the statistics but score, are win-hungry. Their last victory was against thl;' same Bomber squad. Wilkes will be without the services of their starting center, Bob Yokavonus, who suffered a dislocated shoulder in the first quarter of the Lebanon Valley game and will be lost to the Colonels for several weeks. The Wilkes single'ilring attack will be led by cocaptain Ron Rescigno who averaged 4.36 yards per carry in the Lebanon Valley game and was a standout throughout the game. In the last two games the team has shown that the potential :for a winning season is there. It haa shown the ability to drive against and run around heavier lines; however, it lacked the final scoring punch. The coaches are working hard with the team and hope to have the rough spots polished up for tonight's game. The team has · a fighting spirit even in defeat. Tonight may be just the night when their fighting spirit and the breaks of the game, which so far this season have gone against them, will come through and give Wilkes its first win of the 1957 season.

BURDA CHAIRMAN by Maryan Powell Today Wilkes College and the community will honor Admiral Harold R. Stark, a member of the Board of Trustees, and a man with a most distinguished record of service to the United States Navy. Admiral Stark, along with Mrs. John Conyngham, was one of the first donors to the college. The buildings which they contributed, Chase Hall and Conyngham Hall, are still in use today. After the generous donations of Admiral Stark and Mrs. Conyngham, five hundred Valley residents contributed funds to adapt the buildings to college use. Throughout the years in the history of Wilkes, expansion has been made possible only through the generous individuals who gave willingly to provide more space and better facilities for the youth of the community and other points throughout the nation. On this day, as we salute Admiral Stark, we express our deep appreciation to the many other benefactors of the college who gave so magnanimously. -Jan Theta Delta Rho will hold a punch party today from 3 to 4 on the lawn between Chase and Kirby Halls.

So far the response of freshmen and upperclassmen has been most enthusiastic so we're keeping our fingers crossed for the remainder of the year. However, the business and circulation staffs need personnel very badly. Tom Myers and his two assistants have been working especially hard to do the work that should ordinarily be done by a large group of people. If a few more students would kindly volunteer to help Tom and his staff, the responsibility could be shared and a heavy task could become a lot of fun.

His is the compact body of the man who has spent considerable time on the playing field; hard and firm, capable of instantaneous execution of the demands of the mind. This semester he will :put to good use the experience gained through a half lifetime of playing and coaching in the :performance of his duties as head coach of the Wilkes football squad. By no means a newcomer to sports at Wilkes, Dean Ralston serves as Director of Athletics for the school. Four years of varsity football and baseball at Susquehanna High School prepared him for participation in the same sports at the 1University of North Carolina, as a result of which he received Grail Scholarship trophies. J ncidentally, while at the university;·· Dean Ralston roomed with George Stirnweiss, who was later to achieve fame as second baseman for the New York Yankees. World War II saw Dean Ralston in khaki, and in 1946 he was discharged from the Army with the rank of major, whereupon he came to Wilkes and was appointed Director of Athletics. That fall, he Coach Ralston spark-plugged the football team with uncommon zeal, leading the squad to an impressive undefeated, untied record. Again in 1949 he produced a superlative team, the highest-scoring in the state for that season. In 1955 Dean Ralston left Wilkes for a :period of one year to study for his doctorate at Columbia University, returning not only with his degree, but also with a wife, the f o r m e r Mrs. Helen Bitler Hawkins. During his absence Mr. Russell :Picton served as head grid coach. A graduate of Wilkes and president of both his class and the Letterman's Club in his senior year, Mr. Picton had worked under the Dean as an assistant coach for two year. An advocate of sports for everyone, Dean Ralston believes that such activities constitute an intrinsic part of education, providing opportunities for development not available in the classroom. Quoting a former president of Harvard College, the Dean r e f err e d to sports as '',probably the best lab in college," a place to develop such virtues as sacrifice, self-discipline, and self-reliance. During the course of a 60-minute football game, a quarterback is required to make a minimum of 163 instantaneous, un-aided decisions1 probably more than those made by a business executive in a month. Dean Ralston intends to employ a basic single-wing attack this year, as he has in the past. INTRAMURAL BOWLING SEASON TO OPEN OCTOBER 6 AT J.C.C. The Intramural bowling season is tentatively scheduled to begin operations · in the newly renovated Jewish Community Center alleys on Sunday, October 6. All persons interested in participating are urged to get their names on the list posted on the bulletin board outside the cafeteria. Becaus·e of the new automatic pin-setters, the -p rice of the games has been raised by the JOC to 45 cents. Shoe rental is 15 cents. The trophy fund fee will remain at 5 cents per game, in spite of the rising costs of trophies in the past year. Because of the automatic alleys, however, the necessity for tipping pinboys ha-s been banished, making the cost of bowling this season only slightly higher than last. A team handicap m et h o d of scoring will be employed {his year, it was announced ·b y student director Dick Myers. Instead of allowing more powerful teams to roll up huge margins over less fortunate ones, the averages of each team member will be added before the contest, and two-thirds of the difference in the totals will beawarded to the lesser team. That figure will be that team's handicap for the entire three-game series. For the first night of bowling, the first game will -be played_with no handicap. For the second contest, two-thirds of the difference in total pinfall will be awarded to the lesser team as their handicap for that game, then for the final match, the "spot" will ·b e determined by the totals of the first two games combined. From the first night until the end of the season, a running record will be kept of all bowlers, averages, and total pinfalls. A form listing the official league averages of all bowlers will be issued to each team c a p t a i n immediately preceding each series. If sufficient bowlers are avaitable, two leagues will be formed. With the automatic equipment, the JCC is open earlier than in the past, and both leagues will be able to bowl in the same night, giving everyone a chance .t o bowl every week rather than once every two weeks, as the hand-set lLll!S made THE GO FOR UM .. ..Today's most exciting cigarette!

IN .PRODUCTION by Peggy Kratz Cue 'n' Curtain has already cast for musical and speaking roles in its first production. Rehearsals will soon be getting under:way. Their first presentation will be a smash musical comedy, Paint Your Wagon, which will open November 6 and continue through to the 9th at the Irem Temple. Other musicals presented in the past were Girl Crazy in 1954, and Bloomer Girl in 1955. It is expected that Paint Your Wagon will be even bigger and better than the two p ast shows according to Al Groh, club adviser. For the coming year the officers are as follows: Merri Jones, president; ·Paul Abrams, vice ;president; Fred Wipple, treasurer; Daisette Gebhardt, secretary; and Shirle B a r o o d y Myers, historian. The club's ·adviser and director, Mr. Alfred Groh, has announced that Cue 'n'·Curtain will meet once a month in 'Chase Theater. · Plans are in progress for a party t o ·which freshmen interested in joining the club will be invited. · Groh announced that positions are open .for backsta•g e workers in the lines of lig,hting, set designing, costuming, and make-up. by M. L. Onufer Eleven three point students were among the eighty-seven spring semester dean's list students according to official announcement. These included six members of last year's graduating class, two each in the classes of '58 and '59, and one member of the class of '60. They were: John Bucholtz, Jesse Cho1>'er, Gwen Evans, Bettyjane Eisenpreis, Francis Gallia, 'Dhomas Kaska, Jean Kaswirikle, Barry Miller, Richard Myers, J er om e Stein, and Marilyn Williams. Other dean's list students were: Earl Bahl, Robert Battie, George B 1 a ck, Phyllis Charnecki, John Chmiola, Alfred D'Anca, George Davis, Harriet Davis, Norma Jean Davis, John Doran, Robert Drexinger, Joseph Durishin. Also Lee Eckert, Ann Faust, John Fladd, Michael George, Robert Gercak, Evelyn Godleski, Richard Heltzel, Thomas Hoosie, Albert Kaiser, Ann Kennedy, Al Kislin, Merri Jones BOOTERS SHAPING UP (continued from page 5) gan, Tom Jenkins, Dave Polley, !Bill Lloyd, Seth Ansah, Carl Havira, Clarence Michaels, Nick Giordano, and Maurice Hurley. The greatest blow to the team has been the loss of Bob Sokol, the team's top goalie. The big hole in the goal should be ably filled by returning veteran Bob Payne. If Payne needs help ,t here are four eager newcomers waiting to move into the position. They are Ben Jenkins, ,Phil Baker, Fran Mikolanis and John Wasickanin. Ivan Pappannicholas is the most promising of the- newcomers in the forward line. The team's first game is at Elizabethtown on October 5. The first home game is on October 9 with Philadelphia Textile. The Wilkes hooters play only two home games in a seven game schedule. Because of the small schedule the t eam is unable to vie for the Middle Atlantic States Conference Championship. STOCK EXCHANGE Some lucky Wilkes student may get to b e a "Wall Street Wizard" before the semester is over. All it takes is an entry blarik for Remington Rand's "Share of America" contest, in which the winner gets stocks of his choice equal in value to a share of every common stock on the New York Steck Exchange. Remington Rand will pay all •b rokerage fees. In addition to the first ,prize, there are 504 other stock prizes. If the winner has purchased a Remington Electric Shaver during the contest period, from September 30 until December 1, all prizes double. First ;prize then becomes equivalent to two shares of every common stock on the Exchange.

DR. FARLEY FEATURED AT FIRST ASSEMBLY; TWO CO-EDS RECEIVE ACADEMIC AWARDS by Joe Todryk Dr. Farley addressed the student body at the opening assembly for the fall semester. The main theme of his speech concerned the challenge that we, as individuals, must face. Dr. Farley stressed the idea that the material changes of our time are progressing very rapidly and that we must meet these changes by becoming aware of them. Otherwise, if we do not meet them they will lead to destruction rather than promise. Edward Kotula, ,president of the Student Council, e~pressed the desire of the College that the student body attend the dedication of the LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS new science building, Stark Hall. The dedication will be held Friday, September 27 at 4:30 P.M. Preceding Dr. Farley's speech, two awards were made. The award for the highest academic average by a girl during her first year at Wilkes was presented to Miss Evelyn Godleski. Mi's. Doane presented the award on tbehalf of the Women of Wilkes. Miss Margaret Stevens received the Linda Morris Award which was presented by Mr. Herbert Morris in memory of his daughter. The award is given annually to the girl who has maintained the highest academic average during her first three years. by Dick · Bibler I Distributors Mr. Wern er to Dr. Riley : "When you and Mr. Kanner ha ve a departmental meeting what do you do, get two couches and lie down?" ,;:::;:::;:::;:::;::::::..:;::::::..::::::;::::::::;:::;:::;::: PERUGINO'S VILLA Italian-American Restaurant Reversible Wool Jackets With WILKES Le ttering 1 LEWIS-DUNCAN SPORTING GOODS 11 E.

Stark Science Hall, the latest and most impressive addition tQ. the Wilkes campus, will be formally dedicated at ceremonies 9n Friday, Septemqer 27, at 4:30 P.M. An initial anonymous contribution of $900,000 in March, 1966, made a reality out of the dream of a well-equipped science building at Wilkes College. On June 4, 1956, groundlbreaking ceremonies were held, and from that date to the present, wovk on Stark Hall has progressed steadily. Tb e dedication ceremonies of next week will commence with an academic procession of h o no r e d guests, members of the college Board of Trustees, and faculty members. Distinguished guests will include Admiral Stark, Ret., and Admiral Ben Moreen, Ret., the principal speaker for the occasion. Admiral Moreen is presently serving as the ;president of the board of Jones and Laughlin Steel Corporation. Previous to and following the dedication p r o gram, open house will be held. During this time the building will be open for inspection, and members of the various science departments which are located ,i n 1S tark Hall will be present to show visitors, about the building. A student committee, headed by Ed Kotula, is promoting this important event among the student :body. All students of the college are urged to attend the program, as it will mark a milestone in the history of Wilkes. Also, the stu- . dent body should feel indebted to the generous individuals who have made Stark Hall possible. We can show our appreciation by attending t he program n ext Friday. Invitations for interested outsiders are available in the Public Relations Office, Chase Hall, third floor. NEW GRADING SYSTEM by Michael Salinsky This year, Wilkes College has ent irely r evi sed its system of gr ading. Instead of the old-fashioned let t er method, a n ew system, that of numbers, is going into operation. From now on, the number 4 is established as the hi gh est grade attainable for a Wilkes student. The revised system is as follows: Superior, 4; Very Good, 3; Good, 2; Passing, 1; Failing , 0. Averages are computed (as similarly described in the '67-'58 catalogue ) by multiplying the grade earned in a subject by the number of credits. The totals thus obtained for each subject are added and the total for all subjects is divided by the total number of credits taken by the student. This quotient is called the point average. The following averages are required for advancement fr o m class to class. To be admitted to these classes the following averages are required: Sophomore, 1.4; Junior, 1.7; Senior, 1.85.

Stark Science Hall will be dedicated. As students we will· have the opportunity and privilege to witness the first phase in the development of a new Wilkes College, for we have reached an era of expansion. As we watch history being made next Friday, we can look back at the record of Wilkes' development and marvel at the rapid progress the college has made. However, this progress would have been impossible without the intere.st and generosity shown by prominent citizens from the community. From classrooms in a rented office building we have advanced to classrooms in one of the most modem buildings available anywhere, mainly because the Administration and Board of Trustees have worked hard to make a dream a reality. We can show appreciation to our benefactors by attending the dedication ceremonies next week. ***** Welcome Frosh Speaking of new additions to the college, the Beacon welcomes the three hundred and fifty new freshmen who are now being orientated into college life. This year's class appears to be an active group, and evidently the college will gain much from their enthusiasm in the same way that they will benefit from the college. ***** Cooperation at Its Best TheBeacon tips its hat to our Kingston students and the cpmmunity of Kingston for the wonderful spirit of cooperation and enthusiasm displayed in its recent Centennial program. -Jan . ·Council Takes Reins; Name Days Scheduled By Student .C~~mittee by Marion Klawonn The .Student Council has taken over the reins of hazing this year in an attempt to revive the camrpus tradition. Representatives have been chosen from each class to make up the formerly all sophomore tribunal. It is hoped that, with this plan, all the upperclassmen will feel free to join in the tradition and make it more of a success than it has been in past years. T h e Council aippointed representatives have been making plans for the three-week hazing period since last spring. This week the frosh have been required to wear full r e g a l i a, next week actual hazing will begin with a full program of scheduled events. Monday has :b een dubbed "Rain Day" and all frosh will carry open umbrellas to and from classes. At noon, a Rain Dance will be · held on Chase Lawn. Tuesday will be "Cleanup Day". Frosh must carry buckets and .tooth brushes all day and at noon they will scrub some unannounced site. Wednesday has been dedicated to ,the shoes on campus. Frosh will carry shoe brushes and will use them upon request by upperclassmen. Thursday has been named "Beat ·'~Hams" ' ' A grpup of amat.eJJJ radio .fctjls on campus are endeavoring to organize a Wilkes College "ham" club.

Amateur operators need no elaborate wire connections, rather, they use the airwaves for their contacts. Throughout the country, "ham" operators have worked with Civil Defense authorities in attack drills. They have proved their value to the nation in time of distress. Less vital, but infinitely more enjoyable is the opportunity to contact other similar stations all over the world. These stations are waiting to exchange ideas and pleasantries. It will only take the flick of aswitch to make contact, but first that switch, and the accompanying equipment is needed., - R.J.M.

Every item of orientation equaled a noteworthy one. From the fine, clear-eut and inspiring talks by the Dean of Men, Mr. George F.

Farley to the equally memorable ·points of the Freshman Sing-Song, registration, photographs, group pictures, reception, testing, and the inclusion of the get-together of the Frid a y Luncheon, and Friday Night "Come and Meet Us Party". It was the equivalent of these four days which lent ease, and reflected warmth of a stationary group, ready to add a new appendage of life - the Wilkes freshmen of '57. And when class began for the freshmen of '57, there was understanding in the form of appeal. There was eagerness before and after the set-up of each new class was realized.

They have finally infiltrated the "Inner Sanctum", and the girls flag of victory waves over Weckesser Hall. Our eighteen girl army has now concealed the boys' former bare shades with pretty curtains. Also to our growing list of dorms has been added George Catlin Hall and Obidiah Gore Hall. These buildings were purchased for the college by the Board of Trustees. George Catlin Hall was acquired from Colonel Dorrance Reynolds, while Obidiah Gore Hall was obtained from the Wadham's estate. The old Dobson building now called Weiss Hall was donated to the college by Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Weiss. The dorm students who hail from Texas to the New England States are guided by their able house superintendent. Mr. George Elliot, a familiar face on campus, is head of Weiss Hall. Our other dorms are guided by three newcomers to our family. They include Mrs. Luther Crawford of Weckesser, Mrs. James Langdon of Catlin, and Mr. Russell Miller of Gore. These people aid a total of sixtyseven students.

Friday, September 20, 1957 INTRAMURAL BOWLING SEASON TO OPEN OCTOBER 6 AT J.C.C. The Intramural bowling season is tentatively scheduled to begin operations in the newly r enovated Jewish Community Center alleys on Sunday, October 6. All persons interested in participating are urged to get their names on the list posted on the bulletin board outside the cafet eria. Because of the new automatic pin-setters, the price of the games has been raised by the JOC to 45 cents. 1Shoe rental is 15 cents. The trophy fund f ee will remain at 5 cents per game, in spite of the rising costs of trophies in the past year. Because of the automatic alleys, however, the necessity for tipping pinboys has been banished, making the cost of bowling this season only slightly higher than last. A team handicap met h o d of scoring will be employed this year, it was announced by student director Dick Myers. Instead of allowing more powerful teams to roll up huge margins over less fortunate ones, the averages of each team member will be added before the contest, and two-thirds of the difference in the totals will be-· awarded to the lesser team. That fi g ure will be that team's handicap for the entire three-game series. For the first night of bowling, the first game will be played with no handicap. For the second cont est, two-thirds of the difference in total pinfall will be awarded to the lesser team as their handicap for that game, then for the final match, the "spot" will be determined by the totals of the first two games combined. From the first night until the end of the sea son, a running record will be kept of all bowlers, averages, and total pinfalls. A form listing the official league averages of all bowlers will be issued to each team c a p t a in immediately preceding each series . If sufficient bowlers are available, two leagues will be formed. With the automatic equipment, the JCC is open earlier than in the past, and both leagues will be able to bowl in the same night, giving everyone a chance to bowl every week rather than once every two weeks, a s the hand-set :e,i_ns made THE rpfl - llli!!

Rehearsals will soon be getting underway. Their first presentation will be a smash musical comedy, Paint Your Wagon, which will open November 6 and continue through to the 9th at the Irem Temple. Other musicals presented in the past were Girl Crazy in 1954, and Bloomer Girl in 1955. It is expected that Paint Your Wagon will be even ·b igger and better than the two :past shows according tQ Al Groh, club adviser. · For the coming year the officers are as ·follows: Merri Jones, president; ·Paul Abrams, vice ;president; Fred · Wipple, treasurer; Daisette Gebhardt, secretary; and Shirle B a r·o o d y Myer.s, historian. The club's .adviser and director, Mr. Alfred Groh, has announced that Cue 'n' Curtain will meet once a month in ·chase Theater.' · Plans are in progress for a party to ·which freshmen interested in joining the club will be invited. · Groh announced that positions are open .f or backsta-ge workers in the lines of li~hting, set designing, costuming, and make-up. Merri Jones BOOTERS SHAPING UP (continued from page 5) gan, Tom Jenkins, Dave Polley, Bill Lloyd, Seth Ansah, Carl Havira, Clarence Michaels, Nick Giordano, and Maurice Hurley. The greatest blow to the team has been the loss of Bob Sokol, the team's top goalie. The big hole in the goal should be ably filled by returning veteran Bob Payne. If Payne needs help there are four eager newcomers waiting to move into the position. They are Ben Jenkins, ·P hil Baker, Fran Mikolanis and John Wasickanin. Ivan Pappannicholas is the most promising of the- newcomers in the forward line. The team's first game is at Elizabethtown on October 6. The first home game is on October 9 with Philadelphia Textile. The Wilkes hooters play only two home games in a seven game schedule. Because of the small schedule the team is unable to vie for the Middle Atlantic States Conference Championship. STOCK EXCHANGE Some lucky Wilkes student may get to .be a "Wall Street Wizard'' before the semester is over. All it takes is an entry blank for Remington Rand's "Share of America" contest, in which the winner gets stocks of his choice equal in value to a share of every common stock on the New York Steck Exchange. Remington Rand will pay all brokerage fees. In addition to the first prize, there are 504 other stock prizes. If the winner has purchased a Remington Electric Shaver during the contest period, from September 30 until December 1, all prizes double. First ;prize then ,becomes equivalent to two shares of every common stock on the Exchange.

FARLEY FEATURED AT FIRST ASSEMBLY; TWO CO-EDS RECEIVE ACADEMIC AWARDS by Joe Todryk Dr. Farley addressed the student body at the opening assembly for the fall semester. The main theme of his speech concerned the challenge that we, as individuals, must face. Dr. Farley stressed the idea that the material changes of our time are progressing very rapidly and that we must meet these changes by becoming aware of them. Otherwise, if we do not meet them they will lead to destruction rather than promise. Edward Kotula, president of the .Student Council, e:icpressed the desire of the College that the student body attend the dedication of the LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS new science building, Stark Hall. The dedication will be held Friday, September 27 at 4:30 P.M. Preceding Dr. Farley's speech, two awards were made. The award for the highest academic ,a verage by a girl during her first year at Wilkes was presented to Miss Evelyn Godleski. Mrs. Doane presented the award on ,b ehalf of the Women of Wilkes. Miss Margaret Stevens received the Linda Morris A ward which was presented by Mr. Herbert Morris in memory of his daughter. The award is given annually to the girl who has maintained the highest academic average during her first three years. by Dick · Bibler Reversible Wool Jackets With WILKES Lettering LEWIS-DUNCAN SPORTING GOODS PERUGINO'S VILLA IIIIIIIUlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll THE BOSTON STORE They were: John Bucholtz, Jesse Chop·e r, Gwen Evans, Bettyjane Eisenpreis, Francis Gallia, Thomas Kaska, Jean Kaswinkle, Barry Miller, Richard Myers, Jerome .Stein, and Marilyn Williams.

In a departure from the usual method of elections, there were no candidates for the office of vice-president.

This will be , the final regular game of the season for the Colonels, who have begun to make the Middle Atlantic Conference sit up and take notice after last week's setting Ursinus Bears. Last night, the sluggers were up in 1Scranton for a night contest, in an effort to gain permanent possession of the trophy which was presented by the old S c r a n t o n Miners baseball club, to be. given to the winner of the series between the two schools each year. The trophy is now in the Wilkes trophy case, having been captured by the -Colonels last year. ·On Wednesday afternoon, 'Poriky' }{oats came through with a fine three-hit iperformance. His teammates came from a three-run deficit in the seventh, and wen on to win in the eleventh inning, 4-3. Ronnie Reseig no, who has been hitting the ball at a better than .400 clip all year, scored the winning run in the 11th inning. Ron got on base when he was hit by a pitched ball. He brought the run in with some fancy base-running, including a theft of second base; :then scoring on Bob Sokol's hit. Sokol went wild at the plate, having one of his finest days of the year. Bob turned in four hits in six trips to the plate. The ,Colonels enter the game this Bob Sokol Ronnie Rescigno afternoon with thoughts of winning their fifth straight game. Their record now stands at 8 wins, 3 losses for the year; in Conference ,p lay, they lead the loop with 6 conference wins against 2 losses. At the time of this writing, t here was a strong possibility that Eddie Birnbaum, left-handed winner of his last five games, would be the starting pitcher. The .team is looking forward to the return of John Harvey, the formidable b a ck stop, who was suffering from a virus infection during the past few games. Tomorrow afternoon, Artillery Park will be the site of the annual Alumni game, when the "old men" of Wilkes return to do battle with the current aggregation. G a m e time is 2:00 P.M. These games are usually surprisingly well played, and even if they are not, there is conside~·able fun in watching some of the former athletes don uniforms again and cavort on the diamond. A large crowd is expected for both gam es. This is the last chance to see baseball at Wilkes for the season. Don't miss out on a good -e ntertainment bet for the week-end.

In order to enaible more students to get in more games, there will be two separate seasons, Fall and Spring. Two leagues will operate each semester, with playoffs between league winners at the end of each season. In an effort to equalize the bowling somewhat, the team handicap system will be in effect. For the first three-game s e r i e s, no handicap will be used. For all games after that time., each individual's average will .be listed with those of his teammates and added up before the match. The total of the opponents' averages will then be compared, and two-thirds of the difference will be added to the lesser total as a t eam handicap. The team handicap will apply for all three games bowled in that match. Trophies will be awarded to firstand second-place finalists, holders of high male and, female averages, bowlers of high single games, and to the high three-game s er i e s bowlers. League secretaries will be appointed, whose duties it will be to record and publish the w e e k 1 y averages of all bowlers in their leagues. All entries will be called for shortly after the Fall semester begins, Team entries will be accept-ed, as well as individual entries. Individual s will be grouped into teams and captains chosen as soon as possible. All captains will meet with the director before bowling begins to discuss methods of trophy ,purch9.se and distribution. AW ARDS PRESENTED (continued from page 2) Bergstra.sser, and Paul Smith.

It is impossible to estimate Jim's true value to his team! for he was in all ways a steady, aggressive, dependable performer. Wrestling in the 130-pound class, Jim turned in a total of eleven wins for the Colonels, three of these by falls. His total of points scored for the season was 41, an all-time high here at Wilkes. It was his consistent winning in the earlier bouts of every match that helped to fire up the spirits of the rest of the squad. The value of such a morale-building factor is undeniabJe and is in a large part responsible for the undefeated season turned in by Jim and his teammates. The honors bestowed upon Jim's shoulders this year are numerous. He is one of the co-captains of next year's mat team, dano, Bob Yokavonus, Al Manarski, Don Reynolds, Walt Glo- ~ Jim Ward WILKES he has received the Howard W. Davis Award for excellence in athletics, at the Lettermen's All-Sports Banquet he was named the year's Outstanding Wrestler, and he took second place in the Middle Atlantic Conference 130-pound division championship tourney, in addition to his team records at Wilkes. Balloting for the honor took place earlier this week, with the Director of Athletics, Director of Sports Publicity, the four coaches, and the Sports staff and editor of the Beacon participating in the vote. Given honorable mention were: Neil Dadurka, George Morgan, Mike Dydo, George Gacha, Bill Farish, Eddie Birnbaum, and Bob Masonis. Others eligible for the award by virtue of being named "Athlete of the Week" throughout the Beacon's current publication year were: Dick Wozniak, Tony Bianco, Nick Giorgowski, Keith Williams, and Ralph Hender~hot. . . The job of selecting a winner from this formidable list of athletic standouts was no easy task, but it is the opinion of those concerned that the final decision was a just one. Jim is the sixth man to receive this award. It was first given in 1952 to Parker Petrilak. Others so honored were George McMahon, Len Batroney, Jim Ferris, and Carl Van Dyke. Ward's name will be placed on the permanent trophy on display in the trophy case in the lobby of the Wilkes gym. In addition, Jim will receive a replica trophy for his personal possession. Presentation of the award and trophy will be formally made at next Tuesday's assembly.

The retailing students have just completed a very important survey for the Mayor's Traffic Committee and today are presenting a Retailing Careers Conference for high school students of the area who are interested in such careers. A great deal of credit should go to the group's advisor, Mr. Eric Stein of the Economics Department. Mr. Stein was the leading light in the establishment of the organization and has been inspiring as its leader. The members of the club have all worked hard for the success of its projects and also deserve a lot of credit. We would like to express our thanks especially to Bill Zdancewicz, who has done a standout job as the group's publicity director. -tim "Hams" A group of amateur radio fans on campus are endeavoring to organize a Wilkes College "ham" club. The proponents of the club are forced to ask for donations of equipment, no matter how outworn, to help get them on their feet. The establishment of a "ham" station at Wilkes would enable many people interested in this hobby to put their interests to practical uses. One of these functions is participation in the Civil Defense communications system. For obvious reasons, the telephone cannot be expected to fulfill the needs of disaster communications. Amateur operators need no elaborate wire connections, rather, they use the airwaves for their contacts. Throughout the country, "ham" operators have worked with state police and Red Cross in disaster areas, and with Civil Defense authorities in attack drills. They have proven their value to the nation in time of distress. Less vital, but infinitely more enjoyable, is the opportunity to contact other similar stations all over the world. These stations are waiting to exchange ideas and pleasantries. It will only take the flick of a switch to make contact, but first that switch, and the accompanying equipment is needed. -R.J.M. ·STUDENT COUNCIL APPROVES CONSTITUTION AMENDMENTS by M. L.

Not for a long time have a ca st of college students presented Th o m a s Dekker's The Shoemaker's Holiday so spiritedly, re vealing thoroughly the Elizabethan zest for the com edy of domest ic life. From the moment that lean Sir Hugh Lacy ent er ed from the side wing until the commanding k i n g knighted the romantic Rowland, the spirit of com edy in the true tradition of the cobblers of fairyland prick ed the audience with the n eedl e, thread, and awl of boisterous humor and common g ri ef. For this dom estic comedy, the poor man's Sha:kes peare, the student cast found the audience alert and appreciative, the ·poetr y of Dekk er lively and ca,pable of great beauty, and the plot filled with action and word play. When they were done, the audience knew that it had seen a g ood play well p resented. That feeling of chilled suspense susceptible to a moment of great grief was given to us when Jane wept, "Gri ef likes to be alone." On her solitude intruded the audience with the dimming of the lights as she walked toward the side wing; with her pronounced the audience, "Death makes m e poor." Her interpr etation, however, made that line rich. The exuberance of song, dance, and word was on that stage last night. Who will not remember the word play on heart and hart, on dear and deer, or the teasing light of all-knowing laughter in Rose's eyes when she asked Hammon, The strangest hunting that ever I see. But where's your park? Who could feel the impish joy of Firk when he tricked the Lord Mayor and Sir Hugh, or not hear his honor urging his conscience while his hand was hungry for angels, Shal I betray my brother? no! Shall I prove Judas to Hans? no! Shall I cry treason to my corporation? no, I shall be firked an dyerked then. But give me your angel; your angel tell you.

The win brought the Colonels' record for the year to .s_ix wins against three losses, but their record in the Middle Atlantic Conference stands at four ~ins and two defeats.

Entwined in these thoughts are several names which never seemed to ma,ke the h eadlines, never made 'Athl ete of the Week ', never even seemed to draw the cheers of the spectators. Even though these men weren't formally honored, we feel that the sports pages cannot close for the year without some mention of the unsung heroes. Of course, we could begin the simplest way by naming every man on every roster of every team, but please bear in mind that these are just the personal observations of an individual spectator. This spectator cannot forget the fleet-footed dashes of little Ron Rescigno, his gameness, the M Ye r s daring fake punts, lightning-quick spot passes; yet his de eds went with only superficial mention. Nor can h e forget three-letterman Bob Sokol and his valiant efforts in the unaccustomed role of soccer goalie; his fine, steady, heads-up brand of aggressive basketball ; and his sturdy hitting ability on the baseball diamond. There are, of course, many more. Ahmed Kazimi , Seth Ansah, Red Walsh, Fran Mikolanis, Elmer Snyder, Dave Thomas, Dick Weiss, Bob Turley, Joe Parsnik, John Harvey, Bob McGurrin and countless others. To all these men who received no honors, no individual awards, our heartfelt thanks for many thrills. "VICEROY HAS THE SMOOTHEST TASTE OF ALLI" S U PER S M O OT H !

L. Onufer The ninth annual Parents' Day reception will be held in the college gym Sunday afternoon at four. The event is held each year in conjuction with the college band concert and gives the parents of Wilkes students an opportunity to meet the facuty informally. Bob Moran, Wilkes music instructor, who is directing the band concert for the eighth time, said the program will feature music by American composers. The concert is held during National Music Week which has as its theme, "Music by American Com-p osers". The main numbers are: Overture to Rienzi ,by Wagner, Water Music Suite ,b y Handel, Mississippi Suite by Grofe, Selections from My Fair Lady arranged by Rob ert Russell Bennett, and Trauersinfonie by Wagner. The program will also include a number by H en r y Fillmore, in commemoration of the recent death of this composer of band music, who is considered by many to rank second to Sousa. NOVICE DEBATE TEAM THIRD AT DICKINSON The novice debate team, entered for the first time into inter-collegiate competition, ,placed third in the Fourth Annual Dickinson Novice Debate Tourney held over the week<end at <Carlisle. The m embers of the team were Louis Marcus, a sophomore from Scranton; Christine Winslow, a freshman from Wilkes-Barre, Gwen Evans, a sophomore from WilkesBarre; and Armand Caruso, a frosh from Wilkes-Barre. In addition to the team trophy, Marcus received a plaque for third best negative spe3!ker, bringing to 29 the number of individual and team awards won •by Wilkes in -forensic contests this year. Judged on their ,performance this weekend, the novice team shows promise of filling some gaps which will be left by the graduation in June of the two Wilkes stars, John Bucholtz and Jesse Choper, tenth and third 'b est debaters in the nation this year. BASEBALL RESULTS (continued from page 4) from third to behind the plate, relief er George Gacha played the "hot corner", Mike Goobic took Ron Rescigno's place at second, and team captain Joe Parsnik played at short. The big blow of the game was firstbaseman Mike Dydo's second four-bagger of the year. Mike's blast was of the inside-the-park variety. The T eachers, unbeaten· in State Teachers Conference games, had a chance to score in the fourth, but a double play, from Parsnik to Gooib ic to Dydo, erased the t hreat. For the Colonels, it was four runs on eight hits; the Teachers had one ru n and only three hits. Shown with the Ham11ton students are the hosts to the Hampton party during their visit.

During this past week, all parking lots in th e Wilkes-Barre area were surveyed . The co mpleted forms will be coll ected on Monday by the group of students working on the survey. The parking lot form required more wo rk on th e part of the owner, a.s compared to the other two phases. In addition to supplying background information, th e proprietor also had to ,t ak e a count of the spaces still a vailable on his lot, every hour during the day. Survey stud ents were also required to take "s·pot checks" of these parking lots, which would act as a double check, to be u sed later for tabulation. Forms from the business firm phase are still being r eturned. The survey group r eported that of th e total, only a small percentage of fi r ms refused to co-operate. However, due to the seasonal aspect, many firms misplaced or lost the forms . These were replaced with n ew ones. Wilkes College statistics classes a re now tabulating the information rec eived from the bus transportation ·pha.se of th e survey. Their work is under the sup ervision of Dr . Samuel Ro senberg. They are tab ulating s u c h information as days traveled, hours , or igin of t r ip, classification , reason s for t rip, and other facts . At present the survey group is coll ectin g backgro und ma.terial and other pertinent facts, which will be combined into a booklet to assist t he -co mmittee in the final tabulation. lllil 111111111111111111 ii 1111111 ililll llll ll II ll SPECIAL TUX GROUP PRICES for WILKES DANCES at ,. 1~ ~ ,l-d fOHN B.

WASHINGTON ST, BAUM'S �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 4 Friday, May 3, 1957 BIRNBAUM IS ''ATHLETE OF WEEK'' HENDERSHOT, GACHA HONORED IN TARDY 'ATHLETE' AWARDS FOR SPARKLING SIX-HIT PITCHING Ed Struck Out Seven· ' Walked Three Batters In Win Over Warriors Eddie !Birnba.u m was awarded this week's Beacon "Athlete of the Week" title. Moving up from last year's role as relief pitcher, the 21-year-old junior is now the Colonels' number one starting pitcher. Last Saturday, against the Lycoming Warriors, Eddie pitched the first full nine-inning game recorded by a Wilkes pitcher this season, scattering six singles throughout the contest to record his second win. The stocky left-·h ander had himself a busy day at the plate, in addition to his stint on the mound. He had two hits in four times at bat, scored a run, and had a run batted in. On the hill, Eddie was in trouble in the fourth and eighth innings, but came out of both jams. fo the final sta,ges of the game, Eddie called on his hidden reserves and uncorked a hopping fast ball that had the Warriors guessing and swinging badly. He allowed six hits, but only in the fourth inning did the visitors get more than one. He walked three men, struck out seven, and left only three men on base. It was a ,good day's work for the southpaw hurler, who has played courageous ball all season; but most satisfying is the fact that in turning in his nine-inning sixhitter, Eddie has proved himself to :be ready and able to handle any assignment. The team he beat on Saturday afternoon was, and is, a strong contender for the Mid-Atlantic crown. They had won four in a row when Eddie slapped them down. . .

CITES w.c. GRADUATE FOR RESEARCH ON 'THE BENDS' Friday, May 3, 1957 Lettermen Select Pat Reed .. Beauty, Poise, Service Bases for Selection Of the Colonels' Queen George McMahon, a Wilkes graduate, has made a valuable contribution in the field of science. He has received a special award for a research project done at University of Pennsylvania Medical School involving caisson disease, commonly called "the bends". This affliction is one of the many· hazards fac ed by the daring deep sea divers and sandhogs, for if not fat~l it f,requently causes paralysis. It 1s due to the great pressures divers are subject to in the ocean depths and is also encountered by the men who work in pressurized compartments driving tunnels beneath rivers. McMahon's award-winning project was entitled "Use of Multiple Inert Gases in Decompression". The decompression involved is the gradual ascent to normal pressure with an attempt to replace .the fatal nitrogen with inert harmless gases. The research in which McMahon was engaged is a part of the U. S. Navy's medical .p rogram at the University of Pennsylvania. After receiving his M.D. this June from the university, he will immediately begin his internship, While a student at Wilkes, where he received his ba,c helor of science degree in 1953, he was co-captain of the football t eam, wrestled for rthe -Colonels and was one of the first lettermen to receive the "Athlete of the Y.ear" award presented ,b y the Beacon.

Heinle, an instructor in the English department, received notice last week that he had been a ward e d his doctorate by Columbia University. His dissertation fa, "The Eightenth Century Allegorical Essay". Dr. Heinle said that these essays were a popular literary style during that ,c entury, and. appeared in many of the journals, such as the Spectator. Dr. Heinle added that the principle writers of this .period were Addison, Steele, .Q.oldsmith, Swift, Fielding, and Johnson. These writers turned to this style when they were ,p ressed for something to write. Dr. Heinle said that his study shows how these allegorical essays use two ancient Greek allegories, The Choice of Hercules and The Table of Cebes, as their models. He stated his study also shows the relationship of the Renaissance and eighteenth century allegorical paintings to these essays. Dr. Heinle also included some of the fascinating -p re-Freudian theories of dreams in his dissertation since INTRAMURAL SOFTBALL most of the allegorical essays were presented in a dream framework.

At least one person has seen fit to enter a protest with the Beacon concerning the proposed tuition increase, although there has been much comment about it on campus, nearly all against it. While we can appreciate the position of the Administration to some extent, we cannot be said to be very strongly in favor of the proposal. The average student, as well as the family man, is faced with tightly strained budgets. Most student incomes are from unskilled jobs, where pay scales are lagging behind the cost of living. That is, lagging even further than those of college faculty members. The squeeze is on. The main bone of contention among the students is the 22 % increase in tuition fees in the last two years. That's a big jump; then to increase it to · a total of 44 % over the four-year period is really piling it on. Granted that an education at Wilkes was the biggest bargain in education (up until two years ago), today the situation is somewhat different. Many students want to know just how different it is. We suggest that the Administration present the facts to the students - all the fa-cts. How can an intelligent decision be reached any other way? If the students had facts and figures on salaries of department heads, instructors and other members of the faculties of Wilkes and comparable, ·small, independent liberal arts colleges, along with their tuition rates, a fair and satisfactory decision should · be reached.

Onufer The date for the mailing of the R.S.V.P.'s to the Junior Class dinner-dance has been extended. The invitation committee, headed by Rita Matiskella, decided that this was necessary because many of the class members overlooked their invitations during the East er vacation. The committee rescheduled the deadline for five P .M. today. The R.S.V.P.'s should be placed in Dave Vann's mailbox . Dave also m en,t ioned that anyone making a reservation and failing to use it will be r equired to pay the full price of the dinner. That is the price which it costs rather than only the sum which the individual member pays. Class members failing to make reservations for the dinner can still attend the dance which will follow. This begins at eight P.M. and an invitation is not necessary for admittance. Rita also requested that class members planning to attend with more than one couple should specify so by placing a list in Vann's mailbox so that suitable seating arrangements can be made. The affair will be held Friday evening, May 3 in the American Legion Home (Post 132) on North River Street. Flowers will be given to all girls who attend.

The Wilkes championship debaters are Fred Roberts, Bruce Warshal, John Bucholtz and Jesse Choper. . In 1952 a Wilkes team won six straight ro unds in the state competition, being the onl y team in the verbal contest having a perfect record in the race. Because of a snowstorm, however, the team could not return to Lehigh University in Bethlehem to finish the competition and thus had to forfeit their winnings.

Contrary to the deep-seated feelings in most Americans, there are other considerations. ..One ~urp?se of. the increase,~ income to the college would be to mamtam a high standard in the college, whatever that means. This would seem to .be in need of further elucidation ·s ince we were always of the opinion that high standards cam~ from people, not money. Perhaps the Administration can show us an example of how high standards can be bought, but we doubt it. On the other hand, the second reason cited was "to maintain the faculty". There may be quite a bit of necessity here. College faculties have been notorious for their low salaries and Wilkes is no exception. Many competent instructors have taken jobs at other colleges or left the education field entirely on this account. We suggest that each student consider the proposal seri?usly_. ta½ing all things into ':lcco~nt. One good point to keep m mmd 1s that your education 1s one of the most important phases of your life.

The Colonel golfers, hoping for a break in the weather, have spent most of the week practicing indoors at the gym. The grounds at the Irem course are still unplayable as a result of the heavy snow- and. rain-fall of the previous week. The move to s h e 1 t e r was p-r ompted by the realization that there is little time remaining for the opening match on April 26 at Scranton. This is a triple event between Scranton, Hofstra and the Colonels. The weather has delayed the team so much in their outdoor drills that the warm, dry confines of the gym seemed to be the best solution to the problem. The team has not yet elected a captain, however team spokesman Sam Dilcer reports- that the group is beginning to show some promise, but can use more players.
