In emphasizing the gravity of the mental health problem, Mr. Oliver pointed out that seven thousand Pennsylvanians can expect to be admitted to mental hospitals as patients in 1957. No accurate estimate can be made either of the lost earning power of the State due by Carol Breznay to the inca;pacity of these people Russ Picton, director of develop- or of the personal misery of the ment and organizer of the Wilkes families of those who are admitted.

FUND DIRECTOR SAYS DRIVE NE ARS GOAL PROGRAM OFFERED BY GIRLS' CHORUS The college Chemistry Club will sponsor a ·s quare and round dance, the Spring Swing, tonight from nine to twelve o'clock in the gym. It has been an annual tradition with the club to sponsor a spring square dance for the past several years. Harry Wilkie, pop u 1 a r caller throughout the Valley, will make a return appearance to the campus. Wilkie has ·played a prominent role in the success of square dances sponsored by several Wilkes organizations in the past. Natalie Gripp, club president, has announced that the Sharpe Trio will provide both modern and country style music, with r ecords to provide dancing during intermission. This will be the second social function sponsored by the club this year. Early in the first semester, a modern dance was offered to the students at the college. Fr.om all indications, ,t onight's dance ipromises to be even b etter than the highly successful dance last semest er. Leslie Barstow, chairman of the refreshm ent committee, h a s announced that a large variety of soft drinks will be available for tho se who may be slightly overheated from the more strenuous square dances. The following committees have been working hard to make the affair a large success: publidty, Raye Thomas and Pat Levandowski; tic'kets, Carole Lowcavage; decorations, Sal Valenti; chaperones, Mary Mattey. I I Constitution Committee Lists Recommendations On Campus Government The Student Council Constitution Study Committee met last Tuesday evening to discuss revising of the ,p resent college constitution. The revisions were discussed on a tentative basis and are subject to further ratification. Les Weiner, former council parliamentarian, was in charge of .t he meeting. Four committee members were present. A proposal was made to initiate a Court of Appeal s at the college as well as to form an Advisory Council consisting of students, administration and faculty members. Recall of Student Council officials was also considered in cases where class r epresentatives show inefficiency and / or disinterest . Vo t i n g procedures were also treat ed at the meeting. One of the main issues concerned the class with which off-semester students would vote. Delaying freshman elections was another problem considered. The council also decided to include a clause in the constitution .p roviding for presidential appointment of a 'Praliamentarian. The number of students necessary to petition will also be revised. Tentatively the size of a quorum was changed from eight to ten, and a change of the number of class representatives was also considered, �---,-----------------------------------------------------------------EDITORIALS 2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON An Unbroken Promise It couldn't go on indefinitely. Contrary to the opm1on expressed by many campus sages, there are some speakers who know when to stop. This was proved at 11 :32 on Tuesday morning, April 2, 1957, in the Wilkes gymnasium. Mr. Robert Oliver, Central Area Director of Pennsylvania Mental Health, Inc., was the speaker who shocked the estimated 650 students in attendance at assembly, not only with his startling facts and figures on mental health, but also his consideration for theirs. The speaker promised to deliver his talk straight from the shoulder, with no excess padding. He did so. This honest, straight-forward delivery earns Mr. Oliver a Beacon salute, on behalf of all the students of Wilkes. We wish that some of the other "outside" speakers would adopt his "Stand up; speak up; shut up" technique.

Next year's staff will not come out of the air, however, The positions will be awarded to those who have contributed their efforts in putting out this year's paper. That's the proper procedure as we see it. Every year graduation ta~es its toll and new faces and new hands must be found to replace those who leave. Empty chairs ' have to be filled. But it's not just filled chairs that produce newspapers, but chairs filled by those who have the ability. Willing, capable workers are always needed and welcome in the college newspaper office. Journalism cannot be learned in a day. Moreover, it cannot be learned without work. To those of our fearless readers who have continued reading after coming across that terrible word, we say: why not give it a try, I if you're still interested? Next year at this time, when applications are being made ' for top positions on the newspaper staff, you may be one of those chosen. You can't start at the top, but in a year or two you can be there. Start going up - NOW! Philosophical Note In case any of our campus philosophers have an aversion to reading ads in the Beacon, we take this opportunity to point out that one of our advertisers, the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company, is offering $50 to the author of any philosophical verse which is accepted in their Chester Field competition. This strikes us as an excellent chance for the more materialistic type of philosopher (abounding on campus) to lift himself out of his grubby, money-craving rut. And there's no stigma of work attached. -tim EDITORS, BUSINESS STAFF SOUGHT FOR '57-58 'BEACON' Letters of application for positions on next year's Beacon executive staff are now being accepted from students interested in such positions.

ASK ABOUT OUR COLLEGE CLUB �4 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, April 5, 1957 COLONELS DROP FIRST GAME, HANDICAP BOWLING TOURNEY ENDS; OPEN HOME STAY TOMORROW Coach John Reese's worst fears were realized on Wednesday evening when his team went down to a stunning 13-4 defeat in a darkness-shortened five-inning contest at Moravian . In the first inning, third-sacker Bob Sokol was safely ,p erched on first base thanks to a Moravian error. Freshman Ralph Hendershot, in his first at-bat in his college career, whacked a home run that sent Wilkes into a short-lived 2-0 lead. The Greyhounds took advantage of the shaky Wilkes pitching corps, waiting Eddie •B irnbaum out for twelve bases on balls, and collecting a grand total of t en hits. They scored six big runs in the first inning, three in the second, two in the third, then finished their scoring in a big fourth inning attack. In that frame, Greyhound catcher George Hollendersky hit a triple with the sacks loaded. A R. WEINSTEIN, TREMAYNE CHAMPS three-run h om er by left-fielder Tonv Matz completed the tallies for the Bethlehem nine. Hollendersky had a perfect day at the plate, getting three safeties in three at-bats. For the Colonels, first baseman Mike Dydo and Sokol each contributed two hits to .the Wilkes total of six. Freshman "Porky" Hoats, in the brief appearance he made, showed poise and style and promises to be a great help to the hurling woes of Coach Reese. Ron Rescigno, at his shortstop position for the third straight year, played his usual fine game in the infield and contributed a hit to the Colonels' attacik.

Two men on campus so far have expressed. a willingness to represent Wilkes in these events. They are Bill Tremayne, Intramural AllEvents Handicap Champion; and Pete P erog, member of the First-place Rose Tattoo's of the Handicap Tournament and of the Mixed Masters, champs of the Fall term league. These men would li,ke to hear from any other interested parties. The tourney will hold elimination rounds on May 4 and 5. Sixteen men will qualify to enter the semi-finals. The eight. "'.'inn ers will then meet in head-to-head compet1t10n, bowling under the Peterson point system. The school of the winning bowler will receive the beautiful 22-inch V. Loria Collegiate Trophy, which becomes permanent if won three years in succession. The winning bowler will receive a smaller replica of the trophy for permanent possession, in addition to a gold medal. Speaking of bowling tournaments, the Intramural bowling has come to an abrupt end, with still four or five weeks left in the term. A few individuals have expressed a desire to get in a little more competitive bowling before the summer vacation Myers begins. Due to the limited time remaining, any bowling will have to be started immediately. A tournament could be run on the same basis a s the Easterns m entioned above, with the top man being declared the Wilkes College champion bowler. Depending on the number of bowlers, an entrance fee could be set to purchase trophies for the winners and runners-up. Anyone ready to do a little more bowling this year, contact this writer before next Wednesday. THE SILENT SPORT If it's good enough for the Sports pages of the New York Times, it should be worthy mention in the WHkes Beacon. The "it" in this case being chess. With considera,ble interest being shown in the endless games observed on campus, perhaps a tournament in this less strenuous sport would appeal to the m embers of the student body. Several of the players have mentioned such a proposal from time to time, and we feel that perhaps some action can be initiated if the matter is given a bit of publicity. Failing in this goal, it may be possible for the devotees of "moody ❖ (continued from page 4) the inexperienced m e n on the squad. . The announcement that the men will soon be working out on the !rem greens should heighen interest in the pre-season activities, since it means that the men will be able to get some real e~perience with intra-squad competition. The rules under which meets will be held show that the old best-ball partner system will be abolished this year. Instead, the six team members will tee off in order of their placement in qualifying eliminations, u n d er individual match play rules. There will be one point for the first nine holes, one point for the second nine, and one point for all 18 holes. The possible score , therefore, will be 18 points per contest. Coach Curtis is still looking for team members. Anyone interested in t rying out for the team may see Mr. Curtis in his office on the third floor of Chase Hall, or may contact any member of the t eam.

Banquet SPORTS SPURTS by DICK MYERS, Sports Editor Pity the poor Student Directors. They never get any thanks, never any pay, and never any co-operation. Last Sunday night's second-round team championship event in Intramural Bowling provides dismal proof of this fact. Three teams remained to vie for the trophies available. Two men, out of fifteen entrants showed up. These m en had hope~ of qualifying for one of the awards, one had even traveled in from Dallas just to bowl. Imagine their disgust and dismay when they were deprived of their right to compete for the honors just because of plain thoughtlessness. If these two men were disappointed, imagine how bad the League officials felt. They were forced to t ell the manager of the JCC alleys that they would have to cancel their claim to the lanes for that evening. The chain of chagrin stretched on. The manager had turned down a couple of teams who wanted to use the alleys, because he had been assured that the Wilkes students would be using them. Therefore, he lost money and good will. Naturally, this didn't cause him a large amount of joy. Then the matter was brought to the attention of Mr. Reese, faculty Director of Intramural sports. MYe rs Again, disappointment touched another base. A letter of apology was composed, signed by Mr. Reese, then sent to the officials of the JGC. It is hoped that this action will help to smooth matters and enable us to continue to bowl at the JOC alleys. Such a course, however, should not have been necessary. We are in an institution of higher learning, in which we are supposed to be learning how to get along with people. We are college students, supposedly interested .in community harmony and mutual co-operation. We are desirous of being treated as adults; but our actions in this matter belie all -of the above statements. Elsewhere on these .pages is a list of all the two-man t eams who will compete for the Male Doubles Handicap Bowling trophies. The time, place, and date are listed. There should be no confusion, no excuse for any of these peo,p le to be absent. If there is any doubt in anyone's mind, he need only get in touch with Jane Keibel or this writer, immediately, to ·g et straightened out on the matter. The trophies have already been ordered. There could have been no way to purchase these items without knowing how much money would be collected in trophy fees. The entrance fe e was set at 75 cents for all three events, and the total number of entrants pledged was multiplied by that figure, and the total cost of the awards was thus determined. The Directors are now committed to produce that amount, since the trophies are already in transit. If the people who have agreed to enter the tourney do not attend and pay their fee, there will be a discrepancy which will have to be met out of the pockets of the Director. To avoid this, it has been ruled that any person whose name is on the, roster fails to put in an appearance, he will still be required to pay the fee. It is only fair.

The teams will be limited to fifteen members. The games will be played in Kirby Park. Reese has also called for volunteers to act as student directors of the league. The duties of these individuals will be to keep the statistics, make up the schedules, and supervise the organization a n d conduct of the league. Umpires will be needed, too. No experience is necessary for any of these duties, and anyone who has a desire to help in the officiating of the games is urged to contact Mr. Reese immediately. As soon as the rosters have been submitted, a meeting of the team captains will be called, for the purpose of clarifying the rules and regulations under which the games will be played. Team rosters may be submitted to Mr. Reese in the gymnasium office, or to the Beacon Sports Editor. Coach Jack Curtis has been drilling the 1957 Colonels' golf team d u r i n g the past week in preparation for the second year of intercollegiate competition at the college. The team faces a six-match schedule, including the annual Middle Atlantic tournament to be held at Mount Union, Pa., American Legion Country Club, May 10-11. Several experienced men have reported for ,p ractice, and Curtis has stated that there is still plenty of room for other men on the squad. The team opened their pre-season drills at Kirby Park, using only the seven-, eight-, and nine-irons, and wedges to iron out the rough spots. In an effo rt to avoid bad habits and poor p ractices, the coach will have his eyes on the men as they use the practice t ees. He hopes to be able to spot potential flaws in this manner, and nip them in the bud. These hitting drills will be held until the weather permits full-time use of the home course Chuck Robbins at the !rem Temple Country Club. The first match of the season will be held at the Scranton University home course in a three-way match between the Colonels, Hofstra, and Scranton on April 26. Other matches with Lycoming, Moravian, and a return match with Scranton are scheduled for May. �6 Friday, March 22, 1957 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON FUTURE ELEMENT ARY TEACHERS INTERVIEWED THE KERNEL'S KORN by Dick Myers A lot of talk is circulating ·a bout the increasingly high cost of living. It seems to get worse all the time. Stea:k hasn't been so high since the cow jumped over the moon. A good steak costs more than three dollars now, and usually isn't very ,g ood, anyhow. That's what you call spending a lot of ·money on a bum steer. Doesn't do any good to beef about it, though. Reminds me of the baloneymaker who retired after 30 years. Think of it, she spent three decades try·.ing to make ends meat. Never sausage ambition. All she asks ,n ow is that people liver alone. She .lived right over the butcher sh<>i); every morning she went from bed t o wurst. She made liverwurst, iblutwurst, ·knockwurst; nothing .but the best of the wurst. The sign in her shop window proclaimed that if her meats were any fresher, they'd be •indecent. She had a young boy clerking for her for a while. He didn't complain when she had him place the bottles on the shelves, he didn't squawk when she made him set the boxes on counter displays, but he quit when she told him to lay the eggs in the window. .She fired her next helper when he ·b acked into the meat-grinder. She never liked her help to get a little behind in their work. F o o d prices are really bad, though. You go into a market these days to buy a bottle of prune juice, and it cleans you out. Even cakes and bread require a lot of dough. Things won't get any batter. When sh<>i)ping, you really have to know· your do's and donuts. If you're s m a r t, though, you'll come through with fl ying crullers. Then there's the tale about the lad who was fired from his jo.b in the lollipop factory. All he had to do was cut the candy slabs into small chuillks, but it seems he could never give a sucker an even break. JOE OLIVER SWITCHES [BLAKER IS AWARDED POLITICAL ALIGNMENT THI Rn FELLOWSHIP Joe ·Oliver, senior political science major, has switched parties. Joe, once a staunch Democrat (he :took off his Stevenson .button two weeks ago), is running for the •office of Burgess in Tunkhannock ,on the Republican ticket. An active and outspoken advo•cate of Adlai Stevenson in last fall's election, Joe's •political realignment comes as a great shock to many campus politicians. On campus, the 27-year-old veteran has been quite active in the affairs of Cue 'n' Curtain and the International Relations Club. He served for four years in the Air Force before coming to Wilkes and expects to receive his degree next February. Joe is known as a hard worker for any pro j e c t that he sup·ports and the Beacon h<>i)es that the hard work he puts into his campaign brings him success. ANALYSIS OF A WOMAN Symbol . ..

Before the meeting terminated, two m embers, Larry Amdur resigned a chairmanship and Les Weiner resigned from his elected position as .p arliamentarian. Larry Amdur's decision to resign as Chairman of the Constitution Committee was not wholly unexpected. Amdur explained to the Council that personal obligations, such as outside work, make it impossible for him to continue serving his chairmanship efficiently. L es Weiner's resignation, however, was tot a 11 y unexpected. Weiner withdrew from his office as parliamentarian since he felt that parliamentary procedure was being violated. At previous meetings, the Council voted not to engage singer Steve Lawrence for the forthcoming Cinderella Ball. However, Larry Amdur challenged the decision by recalling the issue to the floor for a re-vote. This resulted in Weiner's action, since the balloting was tied and Don Reynolds, Council president, cast the deciding vote against bringing the issue to the floor. In a statement to the Beacon, Weiner said, "The issue of having Steve Lawrence sing at the Cinderella Ball has brought before the Council a problem in parliamentary procedure. "'U~ until this issue was .brought before the Council, it was my opinion that the Student Council was being run a<:cording to Roberts Rules of Orders, Revised, which it was my duty to enforce. " The Coun cil has, in my opinion, refused to follow these rules on this issue; and therefore, I submitted my resignation to protest this unprecedented action." The Council voted to reimburse promoter Len Brader for the expenses he incurred while obtaining Steve Lawrence for the Ball. Jim Stevens, engineering student, represented the engineers and stated that the latter department do es not want to .b e listed with the seniors in their sophomore year. Consequently, the request will be taken into consideration for amendment in the student constitution. Two campus clubs, the CC-UN and the Chemistry Club, were . allotted funds to attend conferences.

Lynn Boyl e, a pert blue-eyed blonde, comes to W i 1 k e s from Kingston High School where she was active in dramatics, athletics, and the school publications. Although she is only a freshman at the coll ege, she is active in Theta Delta Rho and the college band. Mary Homan, a suave, brownhaired lass who resides at McClintock Hall is aJso one of the proud possessions of the freshman class. A Medical Technology stud en t, Mary is a representative on the S t u d e n t ,Council, the Freshman Class Council, and Theta Delta Rho. Nancy Frey, another blonde, blue-eyed bea,u ty on campus, is the only upperclassman in the trio. Nancy, who is an English major, is active in the college sorority, Th eta Delta Rho, a nd modeled in the sorority's spring fashion show last year. She was graduated from G.A.R. High School where she was a drum majorette and newspaper editor. Although the Beacon has mentioned this fact many times before, we feel that the importance of this warrants repetition-this is not a popularity contest. Students a1:e urged to judge students on the basis of imagination, use of accessories, personal grooming, and just plain "common sense." We think we have one of "the" well-dressed women on ca,mpus, and we hope that the students have the interest to help us prove it. SOFTBALL LEAGUE SEEKING ENTRIES John Reese, Director of Intramural Sports, has announced that all persons interested in playing softball should begin to assemble their teams. Team captains will be required to present their squad rosters to Mr. Reese as soon as they a,r e able, in order that schedules may be drawn up. Th ere are no requirements fo,r entrance into the softball leagues except having enough players to field a t eam. Anyone who is interested in acting as an umpire is urged to contact Mr. Re ese at once. When all teams have .been made up and rosters submitted, a m eeting of team captains will be announced. At this meeting, schedul es will be a,rranged, student officials and directors will be ap,p ointed, and rules governing the conduct of the games will be explained.

Four of the papers were prepared as by-products of the research project being conducted in the college's Biological Research Laboratory. Dr. Sheldon Cohen supervises the laboratory. This is another example of the fine work being done by the science students of the campus and should be a sign of future achievements which will come when the completion of the Stark Science Building improves the facilities of the science departments. Our congratulations to Les Weiner, Jerry Stein, Vince Drapiewski, Sam Mines, George Weaver and Sam Puma. *** * * Manners and Parking While our athletic teams have made favorable impressions with their good manners and fair play at home and away, the rest of the students have been quite lax here at home. One has but to park one's car in the student parking lot at South Franklin and South Streets to find this out. Through common courtesy one would expect a person blocking another car in to leave the key in the cor. This is unusually done. However, it would also be nice if those who take cars out of the lot would put the cars they move back in proper places. We do not mean that each car should be put back in the same spot from which it came, but that they be returned to the lot so that anyone wanting to repeat he procedure may do so without a major feat of engineering. It all boils down to the Biblical philosophy: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." ***** Ah-h-h Spring!

Notre Dame Scholastic �Friday, March 15, 1957 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON. 5 Tattoo's Top First Round Keglets MORGAN NAMED ATHLETE OF WEEK, Rosie's Crew Checks Checkmates By 41 Pins; Perog and Schecter RECEIVES AWARD FOR TH.IRD TIME Make Bid for All-Events Crown Hits 514 Point Total, Leads Team to Finest Performance in Years George Morgan, th e Colonels' high-scoring champion, was selected the Beacon's Athlete of the Week ofr the third . time this year. In the final game for the Wilkes cagers at Stroudsburg last w eek , George hit for a remarkable 14 out of 18 tries from the field in rolling up 32 points. The night's work brought the prolific scorer's season total to 514 points, th e highest ever recorded by a Wilkes basketball player. Proving that this mark is no acciden:,t, due to the "saturation" type of scoring employed by some of the nation's I ea d in g pointmakers, George has hit for a percentage of nearly six completions of every ten attempts. His final record shows that his shots were completed no less ,t han 57 per cent of the time, a mark that will probably stand for some time. George has been the leading scorer for the Davismen all season. He has b een a constant team player as well, and has been a defensive standout in every g ame. The six-foot-four junior has managed .to take away 20 rebounds on several occasions, and can be counted on for at least 15 or 16 every g ame. His height is an obvious advantage for these duties, but Morgan goes b eyond that.' He combines a keen sense of timing with plenty of natural grace and ability in order ,t o salvage two-pointers from what might well become goals for the other team. George is the first man to be honored with the title of "Athlete of the Week" ,t hree times in one year since the great Jim Ferris turned the trick two years ago. The 21-year-old . Business Administration major will b e returning to the cage wars next season, and with the veteran squad he will have helping him, he may pose a threat to his own scoring record. With the last publication of the National Collegiate Athletic Bu- r eau's statistical report, the stel~ar center was listed ninth among small colleges in the nation in points scored, and · tenth in the nation in average. Since that r eport was published, he probably h a s advanced in both departments, making him a good candidate for "Little All-American" honors. The Sports staff of the Beacon wishes to extend him their h eartiest congratulations on a job well done.

The former record for an individual basketball player was held by Len Batroney. In the 1952-53 season, Len hit for . 471 points. In their home finale against Hari,ur at the WHkes gym, the Davismen teamed up with Morgan to register the season's highest score. The goal by Morgan that put the ,Colonels at the century mark for the second time this year was the goal that eclipsed Batroney's rec,ord. Morgan connected for a total of 41 ,p oints in that contest, bringing his season's mark up to 47!) points with one more game left on the Blue and Gold schedule. George scored four more goals after the basket that made him the new scoring champ. Then Coach Eddie Davis took him out of the :game with only seconds remaining for a well deserved, standing ovation py the happy home fans. Morgan's work on the hardwood <:ourt has been superlative all year. The six-foot-four junior has been a defensive power for Wilkes as well. He averages around 16 rebounds per game, and is constantly in the fight for a loose ball. In the listings of the Official Service Bureau of the National Coll egiate Athletic Association, George rates tenth in the nation in fi eld goal percentage with a healthy 54.1 ,p er cent. These figures were released on February 23, which means that he may well be ranked higher by this date. Also listed were the top twenty scorers in the country. At the t ime of the release, Morgan's 3,76 points were good enough to rate him ninth in the nation in that department.

Although the Colonels could not produce an individu~ champion, they piled up points in the early rounds, placed six of their eight entrants in the running for the first three places, then hung on to capture the team trophy. Four of these men were in the finals. At 123 pounds, Keith Williams dropped a heart-breaking, double-overtime decision to Tom Carlson of Lafayette. In the semi-finals, "Skeet" pulled a major upset in defeating Art McCall of Temple in one of the most thrilling bouts of the day.

Wilkes. The fine representation ~f Wilkes fans saw another of their heroes fall in the second match of the finals. In the 130-pound class, Jim W a r d, after trimming two-time winner of the Middle Atlantic 130pound crown, Bob Wamsley of Gettysburg, met John Orr of Drexel. Jim had been leading all the way in the bout, and with less than one m i n u t e remaining in the third period, got Orr in a pin hold. Suddenly, the tide turned, Orr reversed the hold and Jim was trapped. With only 21 seconds remaining in the bout, the referee's hand came down and Jim was pinned. Don Reynolds put up a gallant fight in the 1'3 7-pound division, but in a tie match with a minute remaining, Don was .b ehind in riding time and went for the take-down. Again the Colonels' hopes were reversed as Don himself was taken down with less than 3·0 seconds remaining. The two points thus gave Dick Padula enough to take the bout by a 5-3 count.

The book is supported by the extra-curricular activities fund and its advertisers, but the cost of publication for the type of book is high and the budget set by the Student Council has been exceeded at this point. Therefore, since the book is for the students, the staff of the Amnicola is asking the students to be patrons of the yearbook. The cost is low, only a dollar, so let's all get in the act. P. S. - It will also put your name in the book one more time. What's in a Name? The Test Tube Trot. The Formaldehyde Frolic. The Sliderule Swing. And so forth, ad nauseum. Wilkes organizations seem to prefer this type of nomenclature for their dances. We print the titles, but so far have refrained from commenting on the situation. And now, we are saved the effort, since the Utica College Tangerine, in a column titled The Campus Beat, beat us to the punch. The item read: "Wilkes College is holding The Formaldehyde Frolic, sponsored by the Biological Society. It will be a square dance in every respect." To which we can only add: Amen! The Power of Positive Thinking It seems that nearly every student government body in intercollegiate circles is struggling with the problem of "school spirit". Here at Wilkes, the problem received considerable attention during the past semester. . Thanks to the backing of the Student Council and the able leadership of committee chairman Dave Vann, the Wilkes School Spirit Committee performed admirably. The group gave the college some of the finest pep rallies seen here in the past five years. At Utica College, also in an issue of the Tangerine, we learned that the Student Senate recently named an Apathy Committee. One would think that such a group would be at a disadvantage to start. We would suggest a more positive approach, beginning with a new and more forward-looking title. -tim STUDENTS RECEIVE POLIO INOCULATION before the doctors who efficiently injected the precious serum.

"When you put a lot of preparation into your career," Gene McGrew feels, "you should expect a lot of opportunity Makes first sale Gene's first sale, to a bank, required thorough study; consultations; a written recommendation. The climax came, Gene remembers, when he submitted his analysis to the vice president and received that gentleman's signature. in return." Meets IBM representative Out of the Army in 1953, Gene met an IBM representative. It sounded like opportunity. A few interviews later, Gene was sure. Although sales was only one of the many jobs he felt he could handle, this kind of selling(IBM machines are as much an idea as a product)-promised to occupy every talent he possessed. Besides, he's learned that "no other form of training produces so many top busi_ness managers." Discussing customers Installation Gene's latest sale was to a large industrial corporation.

Finally, assignment to a sales territory near Pittsburgh, responsible for about 14 companies and their executives who used IBM equipment, and a dozen or so more who were logical prospects for it. DATA PROCESSING Fresh from a "warm-up" game against an inept Harpur College five, the Wilkes cagers take to the road tomorrow seeking revenge against the East Stroudsburg State · Teachers. In the Harpur gam e, about the only cause for excitement was the breaking of the Wilkes individual season's scoring record. George Morgan dropped in 41 points to crack the mark form erly held by Len Batroney. George now has 479 points, eight more than Batroney's 1952-53 effort. Sokol scored 16 points and Turley hit for 15 in ringing up the 109-60 rout. Tomorrow night's road performance will .be the final game for the Colonels, who have accomplished their goal of turning in a winning season. Their record is now eleven wins and eight losses. Most of the losses were close affairs, with a couple of extra-period games, so th e record is deceptive.

"We feel the best way to sell is to be able to consult. The best way to consult is to know something of value your customer doesn't. IBM's 'some• thing of value' is profit through automation.'' Gene's thoughts on competition: "The entire Office Machine Industry feels the lead pencil is the biggest competitor. You've no idea how many time-consuming clerical jobs can be mechanized, thus freeing people for important, creative jobs. IBM's success in the field is due to service, knowledge, 'know-how'."

Meanwhile, the Wilkes novice team of Armand Caruso and Gwen Evans fared better at the annual Scranton Novice Tournament, winning all three of its debates and taking home the beautiful first ,p lace Noel Chaba:nel Trophy. In what is considered to be the toughest debate tourney in the country outside of the National Tournament at West Point, the Bucholtz-Choper duo defeated Harvard, Yale, and Brandeis, while dropping close decisions to Bowdoin, -St. Anselm's, and Vermont. Vermont, winner of the District VII Tournament last year and a quarter-finalist in the West Point Nationals, gained sweet revenge in decisioning Wilkes, the only team to .beat them in both the Boston and Harvard tournaments last year~ Vermont managed to edge Wilkes by t he scant margin of two points out of a possible sixty.

SENIOR CARNIVAL FEATURES DANCING, GAMES/ PRIZES I TUESDAY NIGHT FIRE ROUTS DORM MEN, "BEACON" STAFF I is �2 Friday, March 1, 1957 WILKES COLLEGE 'EACON EDITORIALS - Records Established Fate, in the form of a utility pole, conspired to hamper the efforts of "the valiant few" in preparing this issue of the Beacon for the pi:ess. The pole caught fire and caused lights to go out over most of the campus. Thus, the Beacon staff was stuck with but half a :newspaper, since we were in the midst of preparing this issue. However, through the co-operation of all, the Beacon has come shining through. For the fifth week in a row, the paP._er contains six pages - a record. This also marks the eleventh six-page issue of this school year - another record. Polio Shots Monday, the doctors of Luzerne County will be on campus to give free polio shots to the students. If you have not informed the deans of your intentions, whether or not you are going to take the shots, please do so at once. And remember: "It's better to be safe than sorry." Looking to the Future Tuesday's assembly, while quite enjoyable, pointed up the need for the college's projected Arts Building. It can't come too soon. While the gym is a very good place for athletic events and dances, it leaves quite a bit to be desired as a theater. The public address system is fine, but actors and actresses don't usually carry microphones, and acoustics in the gym are not the best for an unassisted voice. Level seating is another problem, since the arrangeme)}t does not allow those in the rear seats a very good view of the stage. . · We are looking forward, therefore, to the construction of the Arts Building, the plans of which are drawn. The land is also available. However, no definite date has been set for the start pf the building. · We only wish we could be here when the dream became~ a re~lity. -hm Where • • • When • • • Whal • • • Male Chorus Rehearsal Senior Carnival Tiine WC-Harper,. basketball Polio Inoculations CGUN Meeting Band Rehearsal Male Chorus Rehearsal Historical Society Lecture Assembly Male Chorus Rehearsal Mixed Chorus Rehearsal Mixed Chorus Concert Male Chorus Rehearsal Band Rehearsal Economics Club Meeting SAM Meeting Male Chorus Rehearsal Mixed Chorus Rehearsal Male Chorus Rehearsal Gies Hall Gym Gym Gym Warner Hall Gym Gies Hall 69 S.

John Bucholtz and Jesse Chop er will represent Wilkes at the tourney which is to :b e held on March 1 and 2. There will be six rounds of debate, three negative and three affirmative, on the national question: "Resolved: "That the United States should discontinue economic aid to foreign countries." An extemporaneous s p e a k i n g contest in which Choper will '!)articipate will also be held during this tournament. Choper's record at the present time is 14-4. This tournament might be termed a selective tournament since it is a preview to the West Point Tournament where approximately one-half of the teams from the Boston Tournament appear to vie for the National Championship. Some schools represented are Yale, Northwestern, Miami, University of Pennsylvania, Harvard, Princeton, M.I.T., Dartmouth, Notre Dam ton, Dartmouth, Notre Dame, Navy, Army, and M.I.T. Although Wilkes has had a fine record in the past, this particular event has eluded .them. Dr. Kruger will accompany the team and act as a judge for debates other than those which Wilkes will participate in.

The Council has already sent out one hundred and eight letters to the Wyoming Valley Council of Churches urging their help . In Tuesday's Assembly, Gordon Roberts, an officer in the organization, asked Wilkes students to donate any books they may not be using. The type of books request ed are all coll ege-level textbooks published s ince 1945, including the humaniti es such as sociology, English, and psychology, as well as any books by standard authors such as Hawthorne, Hemingway, and Shakespeare. Mrs. NadaVujica and Miss Millie Gittins have announced that the library and the bookstore, respectively, will collaborat e with the CGUN on this project. ,B oxes will be placed in the bookstore, in the library, and in all dormitories. Mary West, vice president of the organization, is chairman of the project and Bon h e u r Nasser is responsible for assorting the books. After the books are packed, they will be shipped to California from where .they will be sent overseas. The project will end March 15. JR. CLASS SCHEDULES DINNER-DANCE IN MAY by Mary L. Onufer Plans were released last week for the first annual Junior Class dinner-dance. The affair, which will be held Saturday, May 4 in the America Legion (-Post 132) home, will provide the class members with an opportunity to meet off campus.

The 13'0pound grappler was deprived of a chance to show his mat superiority, when the Muhlenberg squad forfeited their 130-pound ,b out in last Saturday night's action. The five points credited to Jim for that default brought his season's total points to 41, to brea:k the record of 39 held formerly by Bob Masonis. · More important than this point figure,. however, is the fact that Jim is the first wrestler in the history of the sport at Wilkes to go through an entire seasori, wrestling in every meet, without a defeat. His record now stands at three pins, seven decisions, and the one forfeit. Coach John Reese is counting hel!-vily on Jim to help the Colonels in their first entry intq, the Middle Atlantic States tournament being held tonight and tomorrow at Gettysburg. The ex-Navy man is an old hand at tournament wrestling, hav.i ng held s.e veral service titles. His speed, s t a m i n a, and endurance s:\l,ould serve him well in the tourney as it has throughout the successful campaign he led for the Colonels.

The five-foot-ten guardian of the back-court proved to be a most valuable man in the Dickinson cont est . His timely set shots enabled a faltering squad to pull itself together and take command of the game. His ten field goals accounted for 20 of the team's 78 points, and were instrumental in bringing home the 10th win of the season for the Colonels. With the exception of a couple driving lay-up shots, all of Eddie's counters came on hi s patented "rainbow" t ype set shots from beyond 30 f eet. In the overtime period of Saturday's near-disaster, Ed dropped one of these arching beauties to give the Wilkesmen a 66-64 lead. From that moment on, the Colonels' attack went unchecked. Never known as a high scorer for Wilkes, Ed does hold one of the best field goal percentages on the t eam. He leads his mates \vith an average of better than 75 per cent completion of tries from the field.

Wilkes-.B arre, P ennsylvania Letters To The Editor: Polio Shots Through the generosity of a group of doctors in the Luzerne County Medical Society, Wilkes students will have a chance to be innoculated with the Salk polio va·ccine. In order to make this group innoculation possible, permission slips have been sent to all students. The cooperation of all students is required to facilitate acceptance of this offer. Time is an important factor. The sooner this can be done, the safer the students will be. · Therefore, we urge everyone to see that his slip is signed and returned to the Office of the Deans as soon as possible. "Open Door" Policy We have observed numerous instances in the past few months of a situation which is unnecessary and could be dangerous. At dances, assemblies, sports events and other social activities in the gymnasium, there is usually but one door open in the front of the building. In the event of a fire, riot, or panic, a crush could develop at these front exits; needless injury or even death could result · from the crush. These possibilities, while remote, are nonetheless real dangers. It would require very little effort to prevent them. Let's take the effort. We demand an "open door" policy. Congratulations Last week was a big one for the family of our printer, Mr. Stanley E. Schmidt. Early in the week, the engagement of his ~n, Ed, was announced. Ed operates the linotype machine which sets up all the stories for the Beacon. On Thursday, Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt celebrated the.ir 45th wedding anniversary. Saturday, a big family gathering honored Mr. Schmidt on his 67th birthday anniversary. From all their friends on the Wilkes campus, we of the Beacon extend our congratulations and best wishes to Mr. Schmidt and his family. - tim Where . . . When ...

Since response so far has not been overwhelming, he urges the classes to put forth an extra effort this coming week. The campaign is being conducted similarly to the United Fund Campaign. The class councils of each class are in charge of obtaining the .p atrons of their own class members. Each class c o u n c i 1 representative will contact a certain number of individuals to secure a patron. Since patrons cost only a dollar, the drive should improve considerably. There will be an important meeting of the Assembly Committee on Tuesday, February 26, after assembly in the gymnasium lobby. *** Hug: Energy gone to waist. Movie: Television with washrooms.

Dear Jane: Your letter in last week's Beacon is tremendously a·p preciated for I quite agree with you that college people should govern themselves so ,t hat they could have complete freedom of judgment. I am also in agreement with you that many of the people who play cards in the Dining Commons have gained a great deal of harmless and perhaps profitable enjoyment from their associations and the game. It is unfortunate that a small handful can s·p oil the pleasure of a larger group, and personally I am most sorry to have felt it necessary to ask students to refrain from card playing in the Dining Commons. Perhaps we can come to a constructive agreement, and I will very m u c h appreciate any suggestion that can be made by you and other students who feel as you do. I want to thank you for your statement in 'l ast week's Beacon for it should help to clarify an unfortunate situation that has long persisted. Very sincerely yours, EUGENE S. FARLEY President Dear Editor : Tom Kaska's letter to the Editor on the poor quality of writing which is contributed to Manuscript contains one very pertinent suggestion. Creative writing has little in common with most college courses of rhetoric and so-called composition. There is a spark, says John Ciardi, director of the Bread Loaf school, without which there may be much smoke but not clear burning flame. Some of this stems from inspiration, more of it comes from the fun of writing and the release of inhibitions and complexes which might otherwise someday flatten us on a psychiatrist's sofa, at thirtyfive dollars a flatt en. Finally, anyone who writes creatively must have something to say. The things I've sold to Coronet, Esquire and Mercury, were about ideas I just had to tell to someone. How about letting me see some of the best issues of Manuscript. I may have some suggestions.

In order to receive these shots, students must receive permission from their parents. Everyone is requested to return his permission form promptly, in order to facilitate scheduling of the inoculation. The donors of the vaccine are a group of doctors from the Luzerne County Medical Association. The polio vaccine is administered in three "shots". The second is to be administered four to s e v e n weeks after the initial inoculation and the third is to come about six months later. Foreign Scholarships In Several Countries Listed in Handbook T0 EIlter BOSton Event The Wilkes debaters placed second in the seventh annual invitational debate tournament of King's College in competition with twentythree east ern and southern colleges. The Wilkes team was represented by J esse Choper, John Bucholtz, Fred Roberts, and Br u c e Warshal. Jesse Choper and Bruce Warshal made an unusually fine showing for the college by placing among the top five speakers. Warshal h eld first place until the final round when he was edged out by Sue McCue of Marywood. He was first, however, in total aggregate points with 177 - a superior rating. J esse was ranked fifth. Until the last round Wilkes was tied with Georgetown, the first place winner, but Georgetown was able to defeat the Wilkes affirmative team by an 81-79 score. The affirmative won three of their four matches by beating St. Joseph's , Fordham, and Columbia. The negative team of iJucholtz and Choper were undefeated and ranked 1-2 in each of the debates. They beat King's 88 to 49; Messiah , 73-20; Marywood, 87-71; and New York School of Forestry, 75-57. This was the second tournament in which the negative team was undefeat ed, the other time being the Bucknell Tournament. Their season record now sta.nds at 22-8. Wilkes was the only team with a · superior rating and the highest aggregate of t eam points. The team had an average of 44 points per man out of a possible 50. The next tourney will be the B o s t o n Invitational Tournament. This can almost be considered as a preview of the national tournament because of the various colleges which will be represented there. Some entries are Yale, Harvard, A1my, Navy, Fordham, St. Joseph 's, Miami, Northwestern, Vermont, M.I.T., Dartmouth, Princeton, and the University of Pennsylvania. Jesse Choper and John Bucholt z will represent Wilkes in this two-man tournament.

ORREGO-SALAS RELATES ·C C PROBLEMS OF MODERN CHILE ■ ■ by Maryan Powell "Chile Today" was the topic of an interesting and informative talk given at Tuesday's assembly by Carmen Orrego - Salas, prominent Chilean educator, social worker and lecturer. She is one of the eleven "World of Women" in H o 1 i d a y Magazine's (1954-'55) series of articles, in which the magazine chose women from round-the-world as illustrations and inspirations to women everywhere. ·C armen rOrrego-Salas is married to Juan Orrego-Salas, who is recognized as the leading contemporary compos·e r of Latin America. She has traveled widely in the United States and South America. ·She was formerly a social worker and presently she teaches English to adult classes of men and women at the Chilean North American Institute. Mrs. ,Orrego-Salas founded the first •private nursery school in Santiago patterning it upon a New York Nursery School which her son, Juan, attended. ,Mrs. Orrego-Salas told of life in Chile today. She stated that the most significant factor in Chile was the number of people who are seeking individualism. According to the speaker, each is. trying to find "his place" as an individual and a citizen of Chile. The speaker compared the educational syst em in Chile with the American syst em. The educational system of Chile is patterned after the French schools. That is, their high schools are called colleges and their colleges are termed universities. The speaker referred to the fact that Chile's army was modeled after the German army and that its navy was patterned after that of the British. According to Mrs. Orreg o-Salas, the political situation in Chile is very loose and unformed. To make this point clear, she declared, in answer to a student's question, that "there a re as man y political parties in Chile as there are people." Communism has very few follow ers and no strength in her country. At the conclusion of her speech, a question and answer period was conducted. uN ■ 3 GRANTED CHARTER • .

He has scored 103 of these in his last five games, and was instrumental in · helping the cagers continue their winning spree with his 23 ·p oints against Lycoming on Wednesday night. Far more important than his scoring ability, however, is his attitude as a team man. He )las passed off on many occasions when he could have tried difficult shots, thus depriving him s e 1 f of the -chance to "gun" for 30- or 40-point performances. In addition, George took 16 rebounds in the Lycoming game, and can always be depended upon for at least that many in any game. He has taken as many as 25 from the backboards in one contest.

George is a native of Plymouth and a graduate of Plymouth High School, Coach Davis's Alma Mater. Cagers Win Home Game, Play Same Team Away Next Wednesday Night t!✓..~:1: I.ti~ Bob Pdatl On Wednesday night, the Wilkes BASKETBALL CHAMPION, SAYS: cagers will again tackle the Crusaders of Susquehanna U. The game will be played at the Selinsgrove court. Coach Eddie Davis is putting the men through extensive drills in preparation for this game, despite the 93-7'2 lacing they gave the down-river lads in their visit here last Saturday night. Because they will be on their own home floor, and because they have one of the hottest cage prospects in the state, the Crusaders may give the Wilkesmen a rough time. F . h · ran k.h1e R o m a n o, h 1g -scormg ace oft e Susquehanna squad, will be given plenty of respect for his 40-point performance here in the last meeting of the two teams.

Morgan, Gacha Key Men in Win As usual, George Morgan led the Colonels with 25, followed closely by George Gacha, who had 20. Both had perfect nights on the foul line. Morgan hit for fifteen and Gacha netted eight. ·B etween them, they scored 45 points to offset the 40 by Romano .

Only Viceroy smooths each puff tremendous night he had on the through 20,000 filters made from pure cellulose-soft, snow-white, natural! free-throw line enabled George to score 25 markers and maintain his 25-point per game average. The two teams played to a stand- I off for the first ten minutes, but fast-break goals by Snyder and Sokol gave Wilkes a lead which they never relinquished. At halftime, the Colonels led by a score of 43-32. Following the intermission, the Crusaders put forth a valiant effort to get back in the .b all game, and at one point had closed the gap to 51 -4·9. George Gacha then cut loose with three straight beauties from far out to stop the threat. This was the end of the game as far as the boys from Susquehanna were concerned. From that moment on, the ·Colonels ran wild, building a lead which reached 26 points when four minutes remained in the game. •Coach Davis then ,p ut in some of the reserves who showed plenty of spirit. JV's Win Preliminary Game In the early game, the Wilkes Junior Varsity tangled with the Jayvees of Susquehanna and came out on the hea vy end of a 6-1-50 score. John Mugford scored 16 points, and Ralph Hendershot contributed 12 to the winning cause. \\VICEROY HAS THE SMOOTHEST TASTE OF ALLl 0 ! Tomorrow night at the Wilkes gym, the student body once again has a chance to get out for a bargain. Both the wrestlers and the cagers will see action, with the matmen closing their season against a strong Muhlenberg squad. To date, the grapplers have amassed a total of 243 points in dual meets, while holding their opponents to 77, in ringing up nine straight wins before being tied by Millersville STC. Leading the parade of scorers is Jim Ward with 3,6 points on three pins and seven decisions. Walt Glogowski has 34 on five falls and three decisions. Don Reynolds, also with five pins to his credit, has a total of 33. The figures for the rest of the team clearly show the power balance of the Colonels: Neil Dadurka, 28; Terry :Smith, 27; Joe Morgan, 23. Keith Williams has rn points with his perfect record of three wins and no defeats, with two falls. Dave Thomas is a 5-1 with 16 ;points, Dick Weiss is 2-1 for eight points, Bill Smith's record is also 2-1 totaling 6 points, and John Macri turned in a pin for his only appearance of the season giving him a 1-0 record worth five •p oints. Such balance speaks well for the training, coaching, and individual attitude of the team. · LET'S GO TO GETTYSBURG Several of our friend s have shown an interest in taking a trip to the Middle Atlantic tourney next month to provide moral support for the Colonels' first entry in this event. No plans have come out of the talks as yet, but we are open for suggestions and would appreciate hearing from anyone who would be in interested in journeying to Gettysburg for this purpose. The preliminary eliminations will begin on Friday, March 1 at 7 :00 P.M. The semi-finals will be held on Saturday afternoon and the championship rounds will .be Saturday n ight. If sufficient interest is shown, a "Colonel's Caravan" could .be made up. For further details, contact Bob Sutherland or this writer. The sooner, the better. ' WILKES ROOTERS OUT-CHEERED . In last Saturday's action against Susquehanna, it was interesting to observe that the relatively small crowd which followed the Crusaders to _W ilkes-Barre made more concerted noise than the home fans. True, the Colonels' rooters responded finally, but it would be nice to see more visiting teams with such enthusiastic supporters, if only to spur the home crowd into a bit more spirited cheering. "TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME" The time is fas a-pproachi'ng when the crack of the bat and the cries of "play ball' will herald the start of another baseball season. To those of us who second-guess the diamond g,e niuses during the "hotstove" league, the waning days of February bring reports of major league teams making their annual hegira to the Southlands. Here at Wilk-es, we must wait a few more wee:ks before we can see diamond action, but to find evidence of the approach of the season, one need only visit the Wilkes gym any afternoon. Here he will find a few lads tossing a horsehide, working the muscles into shape and loosening the arms, Coach John R~ese, ~ardly relaxed with his mat chores, already has stated that he 1s lookmg forward to another good· year. The Colonels had a fairly good record last year, and Mr. Reese expects to be able to better that record if he gets the pitching he needs. A welcome addition to his crop of flingers will be cage star George Gacha. Geo:ge, a fresh~an and a Navy vet, has had plenty of service ,b all under his belt, and 1s known as a slugg,e r of considerable talents.

CAGERS WALLO.P LYCOMING FOR THIRD STRAIGHT VICTORY On Wednesday night, the Colonels won their ninth out of the last thirteen cage contests, downing the Lycoming Warriors, 74-53. Georg,e Morgan led the team with 23 counters, George Gacha followed with 14. The game started very slowly, with neither team able to register a score until nearly three minutes had gone by. Wilkes managed to talrn the lead on some fine floor play -b y Fran Mikolanis and timely tap-ins by Bob Turley. Both teams played a "hands-off" game for the most part, going twelv,e full minutes before George Morgan stepped to the foul line line in the first infraction of the game. Besides Morgan, only two other Colonels even got a chance to take a free throw. Gacha converted the two he tried, while Elmer Snyder sank one of his two. Both of these men shot their two fouls on single penalties, having been fouled while in the act of shooting. A rather unique offensive pattern developed in the latter portion of the second half, when George Morgan took a mid.-court pivot position to feed off in a smoothly-functioning fast break pattern. Coach Eddie Davis had his c h a r g e s running fast and hard whieh, in effect, ran the Warriors ragged. These tactics increased the Colonel lead to more than 20 points. Davis then inserted men from the bench in wholesale lots. The Warriors, behind by 34-27 at half-time, could not get a score for two and a half minutes of the second half, and found t hemselves 15 points behind after five minutes had :been played. Only the fine all-round play and timely goals by big Jim Wilson of the Warriors kept the visitors from being beaten by a larger margin. For the Colonels, it was sweet revenge for the off-night they had at Williamsport against the same team, losing that game by an 84-77 decision.

Tomorrow night's double-feature attraction at the Wilkes gym will find the gra-pplers closing out their home season and the cagers trying for their fourth consecutive win. The Student Council, in an effort to promote further interest in the · fortunes of the two teams, has designated the activities as "Booster Night". To provide further interest to what should be an exciting evening of sport, the Wilkes band will be in attendance, and the full complement of cheerleaders will .b.\.l present to lead the noise-making. This will be the t h i r d such doubl e-header of the year, and the last opportunity to see the two teams in action on the same program. Matrnen Meet Mules In the opening half of the doubleheader tomorrow night, the Wilkes-wrestling team will make its bid' for an unbeaten season. If the team comes through with a victory, . it will be the first undefeated-wres-· tling team in the history of the col-· lege, and the first undefeated athletic team at Wilkes in the past decade. Muhlenberg, however, is pointing for an upset, and they will be in top shape. They will .be led by the 177-pound MASCAC champion of the past two years, Tom Billy. In addition to looking for an undefeated season, two of the wrestlers will be out to tie or break the record for most points scored by a WC wrestler in one year. Jim Ward, undefeated this season, needs a pin to break the present record of 39 points, while Walt Glogowski needs a pin to tie it. Another undefeated wrestler, Keith Williams, will be out to keep hi s slat e clean. To strengthen the team for this very important meet, Coach John Reese has placed Glogowski at 167, Dave Thomas at 157, and Terry Smith at 14'7. Neil Dadurka will wrestle heavyweight again, where he has done a commendable job all year. The 177-pound spot will be filled by either newcomer Bob Morris or sophomore John Macri. Macri has won his only match of the year by a pin over his heavyweight opponent from Lycoming. No matter which of the two qualifies for the position, he will be in for a tough battle as the opponent at the 177-pound spot will be the undefeated Billy, who has several pins to his credit to date. The matmen, after more than a week's rest, should be in top shape, and are determined to win this final ,meet.

The Red Devils, whose anemic 1-17 record changes their color to • a rather pale pink, won their only . game of the season from Susquehanna, strangely enough. It was their first outing of the year and they are, needless to say, hungry for a win and revenge. This is only the seeond meeting of the two teams.

This guy has rocks in his head. For no logical reason, we are reminded of the fact that although every man may have his wife, only the ice-man has his pick. Every time a new man moves into town, the girls (bless 'em all) ask several questions. The athletic type asks what he can do, the chorus girl asks how much money he has, the literary-minded ask:s what :b ooks he reads, the society girl asks from what family he comes, and the religious girl asks what Church he attends. The college girl simply asks: where is he? Incidentally, it has been sagely observed that even a girl with a negative personality can be developed in a dark room.

Ward Wins Tenth, Approaches Mark Held by Masonis by Dick Myers The W i l k e s. College wrestling team's winning streak was halted Wednesday night at the WC gym with a 13-13 tie. Jim Ward's win in the 13·0..pound match gave him a total of 36 -p oints scored this. season on three pins and seven decisions. 'l'his. is three points. short of the all-time Wilkes scoring record, set last yea.r by Bob Masonis. 1Bob had a 9-1 season, with six of his wins coming on falls, for a total of 39 .p oints. With two bouts remaining, the Colonels held a 13-7 edge, but the future teachers from Millers.v ille used their heavy "artillery" to good advantage. Both Walt Price . at 177, and Paul Baiker, heavyweight, turned in decisive wins. over Walt Glogowski and Neil Dadurka. Keith Williams opened the meet with a closely-fought battle in the 12G-pound class. Both boys w ere evenly matched, but stalling tactics by Millersville's Ja.c k Webb cost him a point, and Keith turned in his third straight win. Jim Ward, at 130, met a local product, Kingston's Al Husband. W·a rd was in control most of the way, and looked sharp to turn in fos tenth straight win, on an 8-3 count.

J esse Choper and John Bucholtz, · both seniors :who have represented the college well in several contests, will take the negative stand on the question: Resolved that the United States should discontinue economic aid to foreign countries. Bruce W arshall and Fred Roberts, who have had much experience in debate contests although a junior and sophomore, respectivel y, will ta,ke the affirmative stand on the issue. Kruger stated that thirty teams are entered in the tournament. Def ending titlist will be the St. John's quartet which has claimed the top honors for the past two years. The St. Joseph's debaters, who were runners-up last year are also entered in this year's competition. Since the Wilkes debaters won at Buciknell and placed second in team points at New York University, Kruger expects his team to rank high among the winners. Dr. Kruger stressed the need of replacements for his debaters. Any interested persons who desire to begin training this semester may have the opportunity to gain a top position on next year's varsity debate team. Frank Lutinski Speaks At Joint Chem Meeting In King's Science Hall The Intercollegiate Chemical Society of Northeastern Pennsylvania held its annual Meeting in Miniature last night in the auditorium of the King's College Science Building. One student from each of the members schools (King's, Wilkes, Scranton · U., and Misericordia) gave papers on various phases of chemistry. Topics included were: Physical, Nuclear, and Biological chemistry, with a question-andanswer session at the end of each talk. One of the principal speakers was Frank Lutinski, a senor chemistry major and vice-president of the Wilkes College Chemical Society. Mr. Lutinski, a graduate of Plymouth High School, gave a very interesting and informative lecture entitled "The Nucleus ~ What Holds It Together," in which h e described the various th e or i e s which have risen as possible solutions to this all-important problem. Mr. Lutinski also said that this is a problem which scientists have been struggling to solve since it was discoveJ:'.ed that the atom has a nucleus. It is a problem which has consumed more man-hours both I Student teaching began last Mon-· day when twenty-eight secondary education majors and nine elementary education majors reported to various public schools to begin their duties. The student teaching block is eight weeks in duration, and aims at placing the Wilkes students in as nearly a realistic teaching situation as possible. All other education classes, which the student t eachers are ta,king, are accelerated courses. This means that in a three-credit course, for example, one would attend class six hours a week before and after student t eaching, but not at all during the teaching period. This year, students have been placed in Coughlin High School, Meyers H i g h School, Kingston High School, Hoyt School, Franklin School, Third Avenue School, and Rutter A venue School.

The college student comes generally as a youthful, unshaped individual who has had little experience with independence. As he goes through the education process, he is supposed to learn how to .z;egulate himself and his habits. They word is selfregulation. . In a democratic society, man is supposed to have the freedom to choose his behavior patterns, as long as they do not interlere with the rights and privileges of others. On Tuesday, a ·ban on card-playing in the Dining Commons was announced. What are the jutifications of this ban? • First and foremost, there is the fact that too many students who play cards are doing poorly in their class work. We see some justification in this, but also some injustice. There are many who are making good grades. . Secondly, there is the fact that the large number of people who use the Commons for eating purposes cannot, be adequate- · ly served if space is given · over to other · activities. Another sound claim, and hardly disputable. Moreover, an eating place is not the proper place for such activity. GUILTY PARTIES SILENT For these and other reasons, the Administration has found it necessary to lay the ban on cards. And the anguish wail . arises. And, as usual, it is the cry of the innocent. The. guilty parties mumbled in their beards 'til about one o'clock on: Tuesday, then decided to lay low, rolled over and went to sleep. Those who play cards for diver-sion and social fun decided to see what could be done about it. It was learned that the ban does not preclude playing in the campus lounge, one of the purposes for which it was created. The Administration is willing to provide more adequate facilities in the lounge, providing that the same abuses do not creep in there. · . WORK GOES FORWA~D - In spite of the bad weather, workmen on the Admiral R. Stark Science Hall have made much progress. Work has been started on the sides of the structure and plastic sheets have been added since the above photo wa.s taken to protect the workers from the weather. The frame is completed and pipe fitting on the lower floors is almost finished. It is expected t,hat the building will be· dedicated before start of the next school year. SPOILERS NOT WANTED .niose whodo not wish to engage in sociable play and m· dulge in it with moderation are not wanted in the lounge. Miss Mildred Gittins, .patron '.'saint" of the student lQ:µn,ge,. will be on ihand to exert a healthful and wholesome influence. · ' Card playing; as .we and many others see it, is not a vice. Many.happy and fruitful social,hours have been spent over the games in the C~mons; , This social activity is also a part of college 1 lif,e and· learning. Social courtesy and bearing learned in games can be very useful in meeting and getting along with others. · Those who cannot regulate their own habits and force themselves to put aside enough time for study will be punished b:ylower grades and perhaps failure. They .can hcn:cily be pitied for falling by the wayside. But they , are the spoilers who inevitably panish the others, those who regulate and are moderate in their card-playing and study habits.

To be List~d Mar~h 1 Dear Editor:. For Student VOt l n g I would like to take this opportunity to express my sen~itnents regarding the new law at .:Wilkes College that there will be no card playing in t he Dining Commons. I am a Senior and have seen many groups of students come and go. Many of these people have managed to gmduate with good marks and have acquired excellent jobs despite the fact that they are amang those who played cards during the school hours. I do not believe that the two facts, card playing and marks, can be correlated with any degree of accuracy. There have been a few examples of people who have bad marks and have played cards. However, there is no proof that these bad marks are the result of card playing. There are numerous other people on campus who do not play cards and yet they still have poor grades. The grades can be dependent on whether a person plays cards or not but there are few people who have flunked out of school or pull- The "Best Dressed· Girl on Cam-• pus" Contest ...which . the Beacon is running in collaboration with Glamour magazine will officially open. on March 1, when the Beacon will publish the names of the t en nominees and a ballot on which members of the student body are to indicate their selection.

With only 50 seconds remaining in the game, ·P eters of Bridgeport turned in some phenomenal shooting. He was a one-man gang as he cut the Wilkes nine-point lead drastically with seven points, while the Colonels held on. Bob Turley was the leading rebounder of the game, grabbing 18, while Birnbaum turned in a fine floor performance. The Colonels, after enduring a seven-hour drive and some nasty road conditions, required the entire firS t half to get loosened up, enabling the Knights to take a 38-33 halftime lead. The most satisfying factor, however, was the fine showing made by the six freshmen of the squad. Coach Eddie Davis has promised that these men will see plenty of action in the future.

It shouldn't surprise you then that it took some time before John Jackson discovered the one brand of mathematics that seemed customtailored to his ability and temperament. John is an Applied Science Representative, working out of the IBM office at 122 East 42nd Street, N. Y. C. First of all, what's it all about? What does a fellow like John Jackson do all day? In his own words, "I keep in touch with the executives of many different companies-advising them on the use of their IBM electronic data processing computers. I personally consult with these customers, and analyze their scientific and technical problems for solution by IBM. Occasionally, I'm asked to write papers, and give talks and demonstrations on electronic computing. All in all, it's pretty fascinating ... something new pops up every day." In other words, John is a full-fledged computing expert, a consultant ... and a yery important person in this Calling on a customer coming age of automation through electronics. Since the IBM laboratories are always devising easier and faster ways to solve the problems of science, government, and industry, an Applied Science Representative can never say he's learned his job and that's the end of it. At least once every two months, he attends seminars to be updated on the latest developments in engineering and operations research. ,.. ·,. ,t:q Swank, Crew Cuts ,Meyer, Ashley Aces Mattey , Lazy Eight .

Later, for this same company, John organized the establishment of computer systems for aircraft performance pre~ctions . . . for data reduction of wind tunnel tests ... and for wing stress analysis. At the same time, he worked with this company's own employees, training them in the use of IBM equipment. John still drops around to see that everything is running smoothly. Another service that John performs is the constant reappraisal of each customer's IBM operation. Occasionally, a customer may tie himself in knots over a procedural "stickler." Periodically, in fact, John brings IBM customers together ... just to talk over what's happening in each other's business-how everybody else handled that old bugaboo in any industry ... details. New fleld for Mathematicians During the two years that John has spent with IBM in Applied Science, he has guided innumerable IBM customers to new and better ways of doing things electronically. For example: about a year ago, a leading aircraft manufacturer wanted to experiment with a radically different design for a nuclear reactor. Although the basic format had been established, the project still required many months of toil with mathematical equations.

Even now, this kind of work may be news to you. It was to John Jackson a few years back when he was an undergraduate at the University of Colorado. At that time, he was considering actuarial work or mathematical research. But John liked the excitement and diversification of science and industry and he wanted to use his • NATIONAL LEAGUE G p 3 48 B.

Seven foreign sturents from the college related incidents from their lives to point out the fact that in spite of war and hatred, there is a spirit of brotherhood in the world today. Dr. Eugene Farley introduced the speakers and expressed his ideas on the need for brotherhood. He said that as he returned from -his trip in the Near East a few years ago, he realized that fear is the greatest danger to the world today. Our fear of the Russians and their atom bombs and their fear of us and our atom bombs indicates that we have not gained their confidence. "Confidence," Dr. Farley staed, "is the basis of our civilization," therefore the lack of confidence in the world is a challenge to our way of life. LETTER TO THE EDITOR (continued from page 2) THE SPIRIT OF TRUE BROTHERHOOD was shown to everyone who attended Tuesday's assembly program as the seven foreign students, pictured above, related moving personal experiences to illustrate the true meaning of working together.

I would like to have a survey taken to ·p rove that there is a correlation between the two. I doubt sincerely if it would show that card playing is the cause for failure.

We are all now being told that we are not able and should not be able to think for ourselves. We cannot judge if card playing has affected our study. I feel that the situation should be reconsidered with the fact in view that the co.llege student is m a tu r e enough and intelligent enough to know when an outside influence is disturbing his grades.

After telling a poignant story about a Jew who showed the spirit of brotherhood to the Knights of Columbus, Nasser said that since no nation is self-sufficient, one nation should seek to work in harmony with the others . . A realiza- . ,t ion of the oneness of man is needed in the world today. Henriette ;\.benmoha, a junior French major who came from Casablanca, related an incident in Morocco which let her see the need for the .b rotherhood of all. She testified of the richness which is attaineg by exchanging ideas one with another. Nick Giordano, a member of the soccer team who formerly lived in a small town south of Naples, Italy, where, he said, the Biblical commandment of brotherhood, "Love thy neighbor as thyself", is practiced. He told of an incident during the second World War where he saw Brotherhood in action . . Seth Ansah, a sophomore from the Gold Coast, stated that to him brotherhood means that "You are your brother's keeper. Seth told of Rev. Scott and Dr. .Schweitzer and others who displayed love for the Africans. Ki Hwan Lee, from Korea, who is student-teaching this semester in .the city schools, told a story which showed that there is an undercurr ent of love in man. R eddy Horbaczewski, a freshman from Poland, told a significant story of a Russi an who had been taught only hatred ·b ut the flame of love for his f ellow-man showed through and caused him to nobly sacrifice himself for the life of a Polish child. Ahmad Kazimi, a senior from Jordan, concluded the program by discussing the basic reasons for the conditions existing in the world today. To gain peace the inner life of man needs to be transformed rather than the outer life. Mr. Kazimi suggested that to create peace in the world, human dignity for all individuals should be established and all should be taught the same basic education and moral code. To the students who attended assembly, Brotherhood Week means more than a week designated to honor an abstract term because they saw what the spirit of brotherhood does for people all over the world. at ' ,\~~,i R'!r':;. - ~I rt~ 'v JOHN B.

The Beacon believes that one of these yo ung women may be here on ,campus. A campuswide contest will be held to choose the women of best taste, grooming, and planning here at Wilkes. A judging committee will choose ten young co-eds as candidates for the title, "B e st Dressed Woman on Campus". From these candidates, -the student body will elect the campus clothes queen. This is not a popularity contest. Three photographs of the winning contest will be submitted to Glamour Magazine for entry in the national contest. Ten national winners will be photographed for the August issue of the publication, and will receive a "iBest Dressed" award from Glamour. For the very fi rst time, the magazine will devote an entire issue to college fashions, featuring these winners. Tom Myers, Beacon editor, has been invited to serve as campus chairman of the judging committee. He has selected the following campus leaders as members of his committee: Beacon Associate Editors Norma Davis and Janice Schuster; Theta Delta Rho president, Patsy Reese; and Student ,Council president, Don Reynolds. �2 Friday, February 8, 1957 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON News, Photo Contest to Give Cash Prizes EDITORIALS - Student Views Manuscript The Beacon is happy to see that someone is noticing some of the poorly organized dubs and organizations on campus. By this, we mean Tom Kaska's Letter to the Editor in this issue. In his open letter to the student body, Mr. Kaska expresses his views on ALL that is lacking in the College's "literary" magazine, the Manuscript, We sympathize with Mr. Kaska's criticism and feel that more students should voice their opinions on what they consider campus shortcomings.

Si;iJRii.SiURTS......t GACHA CHOSEN AS WEEK'S ATHLETE I byDICKMYERS,SportsEd;to, I FOR PLAYMAl(ING, SCORING SKILL During the past few days, we have been sampling opinion on campus concerning the Student Council's decision to take action on the purchase of a bus for the us e of Wilkes athletic teams. The general consensus seems to favor such action. It is rather pointl ess to list the innumerable advantages of this move, but we can't resist the opportunity to mention at least one safety. The tell,ms generally travel to their games in cars, very often with the players themselves at the wheel. Tension due to the impending contest, dangerous road conditions, and driver fatigue following strenuous physical activities are but a few of the pitfalls faced by the men who carry the Blue and Gold into athletic combat. These obvious dangers, together with the other annoyances and inconveniences involved in this m ethod of transportation are excellent reasons for the whole-hearted support of every student in this proposed effort by the Student Council. Dean George Ralston, when queried by this writer on the matter, replied that the Administration has wanted to do something along these lines for many years. He noted also that the very high cost of purMyers chasing and maintaining such a vehicle has made it difficult for the College heads. We don't know what plans the Student Council will reveal to co·p e with the financial difficulties, but this looks like an excellent opportunity for the student body, through the classes and campus organizations, to get together in a concert'ed fund-raising effort to help with the purchase of a bus. · Colonels Even Record With 90 to 78 Victory Over Scranton Royals The Colonels of Coach Eddie Davis reached the .500 mark last Collected 53 Points In Last Two Outings Ou Fade-away Shooting This week's Athlete award goes to George Gac ha for his consistent ball handling a n d rebounding.

Macri, in the heavyweight division, weighed 191 to Frank Agnello's 240. The only man who did not gain a fall was Walt Glogowski, who barely missed that accomplishment in the second period, when the bell saved his opponent, Ed Receski .. Walt won, 10-2. Jim Ward and Don Reynolds, both undefeated, wrestled twin brothers. Jim, at 130 pounds, pinned Jack White in 3:58. The other White brother, ,Bob, fell to "Tiger"· Don Reynolds in 4:49 in the 137~. pound class. Keith Williams, recent returnee to the squad, pinned Don Flick in the 123-pound division in 6 :28.

Both men were quick and aggressive, but Morgan, leading, 7-2,; took his man down in the third period and turned in another Wilkes fall at 7:59. Wrestling at 157, Terry Smith met Ray Sobol. Not much can be said about this bout, as Smith got his man early, executed a quick take-down, and neatly pinned his man in one minute and three seconds. Neil Dadurka took only a few more seconds to dispose of Jack Ayres in the 177-pound class, gaining his fall in two minutes even. The win was the eighth straight this year for Coach John Reese's men, and their twelfth in succession, going back to last year. They have now won 19 out of their last 20 m eets, a n .enviable record . minutes; Woods emerged the winner by a 10-8 score. Terry Smith and Dave Thomas, in the 157-pound and 167-pound classes, won hard fought matches. Terry bested his man, 4-2, while Dave won, 7-2. In the 177-pound class, Walt Glogowski wrestled the ca.ptain of CCNY, Bernie Stolls. During the first period, the two strong wrestlers traded points, but Walt took control in the second period. He pinned Stolls at 6:35. Neil Dadurka, wrestling in the heavyweight class against a larger man, picked up his fifth victory of the season by a seore of 6-4. Although the score does not show it, Neil was in control all the way, always one move ahead of his opponent. As a team, Coach John Reese's men were superb. Their excellent training and conditioning stood out, a major factor in the Colonels' decisive victory. This win was a big one for the team, since •CCNY was the strongest team they have faced this season.

The Center offers many recreational facilities to its members and many of the men and women of the college have availed themselves of this privilege. iBowling, swimming, ping pong and basketball are among some of the more popular sports on tap at the South River Street institution. Mrs. Sophie Cohen, managress qf the Coffee Shop, has a close affection to the students of Wilkes, not only because she meets so many of them on the job, but since her daughter, Merle, is also enrolled in the college. Merle is a freshman studying medical stenography. Dave Vann, an economics major, also lists many other activities on campus after his name. Dave has been class -p resident for the past three years; was chairman of the s ·chool Spirit Committee and has heen active in creating a ·Collegiate {;ouncil for the United Nations on campus.

The short story course is not offered often enough, and when it is offered, it too inevifably suffers from the limitations which time ( one semester) ,p laces upon both student and teacher. The over-all result of· such a policy, in my opinion, is that in the long run, the college does not attract students interested in writing for the sake of writing. There is not, in other words, a camp of developing young writers on the campus upon whom the Manuscript can depend. It must, instead, depend for success upon the individual student with extraordinary talent. When such students leave the college, the quality of the magazine necessarily dips. However, the college is not completely devoid of creative talent, as past issues of the Manuscript will attest. Such talent appears in the magazine in an unpolished, undeveloped and often crude form, a direct and more-openly-visible result of the ,policy. It is such talent, also, that elicits the second of the major criticisms. The end result, as I see it, is that the magazine, as a result of adverse criticism, has ·sunken to a low level of esteem in the eyes of the student body, and more significantly, in the eyes of those with writing ability.

Sincerely TOM KASKA THE KERNEL'S KORN OAFS, JUGHEADS, AND THOU by Dick Myers (continued from pag& 1) now able to control their subjects to such a degree that similar outbreaks would be improbable. Poland, said Mr. Linder, the area of the earliest revolt is now involved in an anti-Semitic campaign. The speech was -continued with a reference to the Middle East situation and Nasser. According to the speaker, it seemed that the U.S. left her most important European friends to side with a dictator. This dictator has shown through h is ,past actions that he is more interested in advancing his own dictatorial power than the econ.omic and cultural gains of his country. Mr. Linder made mention of another ruler, King Saud of Saudi Ara•b ia, whose visit to the U.S. caused much debate. He, too, said Mr. Linder, engages in many practices contrary to the ideals of this country, but our diplomats blindly ignore these facts. To prove his point the speaker referred to the fact that Saudi Arabia is the largest slave trade center in the world. Also, the speaker claim ed that King Saud uses th e American-Arabian Oil companies to satisfy his own pleasures rather than to improve his country. During his reign, he has built only ten grade schools and two high schools. Mr. Linder also mentioned that during the last Geneva convention the issue to abolish slave trade internationally was discussed. Countries like Red China and Russia voted in favor of it while the U.S. voted against it. The reasons given were that no outside country had the right to mingl e in the domestic affairs of a sovereign state. Slavery in this case was considered an internal affair. The speaker mentioned th at while the diplomatic position of the U.S. is secure in countries like Iran, West Germany, and South Korea, the leaders of these countries are old and hold their positions on shaky grounds. Their absence, says Mr. Linder, is bound to cause a vacuum in the international affairs of their countries . The speaker tried to emphasize the need to foresee and thus avoid such so-ca.Jled "Jughead Diplomacy". Mr. Linder believes the r ecent plans for a United Europe are one such step. If such had been the situation during the Middle East Crisis, the result might have been different. TUXEDOS TO RENT Special Price To Students 198 SO. WASHINGTON ST. BAUM'S This period between Winter and Spring is a difficult time. When the weather is clear, it's too cold to cut classes ; when the weather is nasty, there's no .p lace else to go, so how can you win? With the fields bare, the trees stripped and the hills nude, is it any wonder that the corn gets shocked? We personally like the Fall best of all. With the football season in full swing, it's the only time of the year when it's .p ossible to walk down the street with a girl, carrying a blanket under the arm, without people asking a lot of darn fool questions. Many months must pass before that season rolls around again. We do have the .Spring to loOik forward to, though. That's the time of year when all the sap that runs is not in trees. It's the time of year when a young man's fancy. This is when . men begin to think of what women have spent the whole Winter plotting over. Too many of the fellows quickly discover that the rings they place on their girls' fingers have the unique ability of becoming firmly imbedded in the male nose. Generally, after a girl has succeeded in altering a guy's habits, she concludes altaring his status. Women are always getting -bride ideas, sort of on a marry-go-round.

Wilkes has risen rapidly in the past 23 years and looks toward a bright future as the generous gifts of the friends of Wilkes College show their faith in the future of the institution and hence in Wyoming Valley's future. The year 1957, although still young, shows promise of being equal or perhaps better than 1956, the year in which the college began its development program. The expansion of facilities is vital to the College and to the community, since the number of students graduating from local high schools is increasing. Now operating at full capacity, expansion is the only way in which Wilkes can live up to its motto of community service. ___________________ .___February 1, 1957 Friday, _;,,~:;:;;;;:....::.,::;..:;;;;;;;;;;;.,;;;,;.;;;;...;;;.;;;;;;.;;..;;._;;..;;.; WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 2 More Homes Acquired In Expansion Program Allergy Study Findings Pointing up the work of the College's biology research laboratory is the coming meeting of the American Academy of Allergy, which will be held in Los Angeles.

These homes were acquired in the Twent y-fifth Anniversary Ex1>ansion Program which is now in progress. The Dobson home was donated by Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Weiss, the former being a member of the board of trustees of the college. Wilkes College's acquisition of two more South River Street buildings has boosted the number of campus properties to a total of thirty-four. The transaction, which is part of the Twenty-fifth Anniversary Expansion Program, is another step forward in the growth of the college. The properties of the late W . F. Dobson and Dorrance Reynolds , respectively, are adjacent to each other and face the River Common. The W. F. Dobson home at the corner of South River and West Northampton Streets was given to the colleg e by Aaron Weiss who purchased it as a gift to the school. It is understood that the home will bear the Weiss family name. Mr. Weiss, a very prominent businessman and found er of the Triangle Shoe Company in this city, is a member of the college's board of trustees. According to available records, the Dobson home was built in the early 1900's. Dr. Eugene S. Farley has stated that the property will continue to be used as a residence and for offices for at least another year. Presently, it houses the offices of the Charles S. Rockey accounting firm. The late Mr. Dobson, who presented the W. F . Dobson Accounting A ward to the outstanding accounting major, had always hoped that his home would someday be part of Wilkes College. Mr. Weiss' beneficence made this hope a reality. The Dorrance Reynolds ho m e which was purchased by the college, will be used as a women's dormitory, ma,king it the third girls' r esidence on South River Street and bringing the current total number of dormitories to seven. The Reynolds building is an area landmark since it is one of the oldest structures in the locale. It was built in the early 18'4.0's about the same time as was the McClintock home, a short distance north of it. The M<:Clintock dormitory was given to the college by the chairman of the board of trustees, Gilb ert S. McClintock. Dr. Farley also revealed that an- FRESHMAN HAYRIDE AT POCONO RESORT The Freshman class will hold a "cool" hayride at the El Pocono Dude Ranch on Saturday, February 9.

The speaker also stated that the trouble in the Middle East started with the creation of the state of Israel. Because thousands of people flocked to the new state, the Arab peoples were forced to move. Since there are over 800,000 Arabs in the world today, they cannot be taken lightly. Mr. Webb declared that the Egyptian dictator, Nasser, is determined to wipe out Israel. This fact, plus the Russian build-up in Egypt, caused Israel to attack Egypt. Great !Britain and France came into the skirmish, but withdrew their troops when the United Nations ordered them to. Plans for a United Europe are being considered by the countries of Italy, England, France, Holland, Belgium, and Luxembourg. Guided missiles will take the ,p lace of manpower. He said West Germany does not favor the plan of a United Europe; however, elections will be held soon and new men favoring •t he plan may head the government. The West Germans are concerned with uniting their country and may come to, an agreement with the Russians or regain East Germany by force. The free world must work together to combat Communism. This will be possible through a stronger and more equal U.N. He referred to the fact that the Security Council, composed of five nations, controlled the U.N. Mr. Webb remarked that revolutions similar to the recent Hungarian revo lution can be expected in all Communist nations.

Reynolds was selected for his five consecutive wins. Don, reporting late, did not ha~e enough time to get in shape. Despite this handicap, he managed to pin his first four opponents. In his last meet against Ithaca, Reynolds deceisioned his man 'b y a score of 11-3. Previously wresting at 137 pounds, Don gave away close to ten pounds at Ithaca. Don, who is fast and aggressive, likes to take down his opponents quickly and, as his record shows, generally does. Don is known as "The Tiger" not only for his showing on the mat but for his determination in extracurricular activities as well. Co-captain of the wrestling team and President of the Student Council are but a part of his varied campus activities.

The Flying Dutchmen of Hofstra, beaten by the Colonels, beat Scranton by better than 15 points. If such a comparison can be considered, the Colonels should even up their record at six wins and six losses. Four of the five wins were consecutive. Lycoming broke the four-game winning streak of the Wilkes cage team at Williamsport, wi,th the Warriors on the long end of an 8477 score. Morgan was high for the Colonels with 32 points.

The r eport was dated January 5, at which date the Plymouth junior h eld a 25.2 average with a total of 252 ,p oints in ten games. George scored 3,2' in a losing cause against Lycoming at the Williamsport college. In Monday night's game against Juniata, he was h eld to 12 points which dropp ed his average to a still-respectable 24.8 points per contest. He is alsd averaging well over 15 rebounds per game to lead his teammates in that department. WILKES JOINS MASCAC Wilkes College t ennis, baseball, an d basketball teams will enter into organized leagu e competition with other m ember colleges in the Middle Atlantic States Collegiate Athletic Conferen ce (MASCAC.) in addition to exist ing participation in soccer, golf, and wrestling leagues. The MASCAC will divide the schools into three divisions, the larger school s to be named the University Division, the smaller ones in the Collegiate Division will be divided into North and South groups. Along with Wilkes in the North Colleg e Division will be Albright, Dickinson, Elizabethtown, Gettysburg, Hofstra, J uniata, Lebanon Valley, Lycoming, Moravian, Scranton, Stevens, Susquehanna, and Wagn er. Competition in at least 11 games will qualify for the championship honors of each group. For the first time in many years, the closedMy ers door wrestling tournament held annuall y by the MASCAC will see the Colonels in the act. The tourney, held at Gettysburg College this year, will find several of the teams which the Wilkes squad has defeated this year. Should the men of the Blue and Gold continue their winning ways, they may well enter the tournament as favorites. HELP WANTED - WHISTLE TOOTERS Bob Pitel and his student committee are doing a great job with the organization and supervision of the intramural basketball l eagu es . His officials, however, could use a little h elp. Coach J ohn R eese, Director of Intramural Sports, asked us to issue a plea for volunteers to give these lads a hand. The only r equirements are a knowledge of basketball rul es, a desire to learn t h e fin e art of " callin ' them as ya see them", and a good quantit y of intestinal fo rtitude. THOSE "IN ACTI VITY PA SSES" W e have always been of t he opinion that a ti ck et paid for is one to be u sed. Perhaps the ma jority of the students on campus don't realize that they are paying for the student a ctivities passes which they put into their wallets a nd then us e only on rare occasions. These and oth er privileges are taken into consideration when the tuition rates are fig ured. Therefore, it seems rather pointless to us that more people do not take advantage of this pass Ther e are two t eams presently active, both requiring admission fe es (or activity pass) and the support they are receiving from t h e student body is something less than inspiring. The cagers always put on a good show for the home fans, and would b e capable of even better things if the gym w ere filled as it should be when they play. Those who claim they "don't understand" or "don't enjoy" wrestling, are missing a good entertainment bet, a s the Wilkes matmen are currently riding on an unparalleled eleven-straight victory string.

Friday, February I, 1957 Three Seniors Accepted By Med. Schools Meyer, Stein, Weiner Satisfy Requirements BIOLOGIST TO REPORT Dr. Sheldon G. Cohen, director of the college's biology research laboratory, will present a •p aper dealing with the findings of Wilkes' allergy research .p roject to a nationwide group early this month. The paper, d(;)aling with the experiments of the Wilkes group, will be presented at the 13th annual meeting of the American Academy of Allergy on February 4 in Los Angeles. Aiding Dr. Cohen in the research ,p roject were Dr. Francis J. Michelini, assistant ,p rofessor of biology, and res ear c ,h assistants Daniel S. Dzury and Vincent Drapiewski. The research ,p roject studied the effects on rabbits of staphylcoccus aureus, a common bacteria responsible for infections. The study indicated that the bacteria used on the rabbits is not only responsible for infection but causes allergic reactions as well. Value of the Wilkes experiments lies in that the reactions of the rabbits studied by Dr. Cohen and his researchers may parallel the reactions of human beings, thus.· providing science with a clue to possible causes of allergies in humans. Protection against the type of -bacteria studied in the Wilkes laboratory has proved difficult up to n ow, inasmuch as bacteria used in the immunizing vaccines injected into humans undergo changes in the treatment which make them differ from infecting bacteria, or so laboratory experiments indicated. The study also suggests that changes may therefore .p erhaps be needed in current methods of immunization agains,t bacterial infections. WHAT IS A COLLEGE MAN?

College men come in all assorted sizes, w eights, and states of sobriety, an d all have the same creed: To do nothing every second of every minute of eve ry day and to protest with w h i n i n g noises (their great weapon) when t h eir las minute of inertia is finished and Les Weiner Art Meyer THE KERNEL'S KORN by Dick Myers The New Year's celebrations are over and the already-broken resolutions lay behind about as firm and strong as a pretzel after three days' immersion in beer. We didn't make any of the customary resolutions, following one made ten years ago: to whit, never again to make a New Year's resolution. It's the only one we've ever b een able to keep. In attendance at one of the local New Year celebrations was a very drunk plumber. Guess you'd call him the pie-eyed piper. ·Some college lads got a bit gay on this festive occasion and decided to conduct an old-fashioned "panty-raid". When apprehended and hauled before the judge, they were all booked but one. He was set free when he explained that this was his first slip. A big Texan, his wife, and his six-year-old son entered one of the local bars. The man st epped up to th e bar and ordered two doubl e shots of whiskey. The little fellow looked a bit puzzled, then turned to his father and asked, "What's the matter with Ma, ain 't she drinkin '?" Then t here's the guy who delivers coal.

GRAD STUDY EXAMS I J Jerome Stein LOAN FUND CREATED BY FACULTY WOMEN The W i 1 k es Faculty Women's Club has announced the creation of a Girls' Loan Fund for the women students of the college. The plan is already in operation. The fund, which now has a capital of almost 50 dollars, is designed to aid girls on the campus who find th emselves in minor financial crises. The money can be obtained immediat ely, and may be repaid t o the fund at the con venience of the student with absolutely no interest charge. The loan, which will be negotiate<l through Mrs. Doane's office, may be obtained from Mrs. Doane, Miss Jesse, or Miss Clark and will be handled with the strictest coniidence. Money for the plan was raised through contributions of the Wilkes Faculty Women's Club to meet what th ey thought was a real need on the campus . Eventually, this group hop es to increase the capital of th e fund. Three biology majors have recently been notified of their acceptance by medical schools, according to an announcement by Dr. Alfred W. Bastress, Dean of Instruction. The students, all seniors, are Leslie Weiner, Forest Riis, N. Y.; Jerome Stein, N ew York City; and Arthur Meyer, Exeter. Upon graduation from Wilkes, Weiner, a resident of A shley Hall, will study at the medical college of the University of Cincinatti. He is th e son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul L. Weiner of Forest Hills, and has been a consistent dean's list student. Weiner is president of the Biology ,Club, Ashley Hall, and is currently a laboratory research assistant for the college's ragweed sensitization project. He has been a member of the Student Council for ,t h e past several years, and is presently serving as parliamentarian of that organization. J erry Stein, the son of Mrs. Ida Stein Barish of New York, has .been accepted at the medical school of the State University of New York. A roommate of Weiner, he has been active in many campus organizations. He has served as treasurer of the Biology Club, vice president of his dormitory, a representative on the lnter-dormitorv council, and a member of the Beaoon staff. He has been a dean's list student, and is also c urrently a laboratory research assistant for the college's ragw eed sensitization project. Art Meyer, who is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Max Meyer of 124 Lincoln Street, Exeter, will go to the Jefferson Medical School, Philadelphia..

This year the college is trying something new. · Most exams are being given in the gym. · One of the main reasons for this is the construction work which is going on for the new Science Building. The work has greatly reduced the amount of classroom space available for examinations. The Lecture Hall would not be suitable to the concentration necessary for a final. The two annexes were quite often used for this purpose, but they were torn down during the past summer. · So, examinations in the gym are a necessary evil. The chances are that it will still be necessary to hold them there for the Spring semester. Everything will be done to make conditions as easy as possible and the best thing to do is just to bear with it. It's another part of the price of progress. Professor H. V.

His first ap- ' pearance in print was in the Bucknell Junior College Beacon way back in the last decade, around 1945. Since then, the Professor has voiced his opinions on nearly every phase of life on campus, but not lately. To the faculty, we issue a warning: Take care if you choose to be critical; you never can be sure when you are criticizing one of your colleagues to his face. To the students: Manuscripts accepted from moles do, not necessarily reflect the opinions of the editorial staff. MENTAL HEAL.TH TALK GIVEN AT ASSEMBLY Dr. Edward Janjigian, chief psychiatrist at the Wyoming Valle•, Veterans Hospital, was the feature1 speaker at Tuesday's Assembly, held in the gym. Dr. Janjigian, a former member of the faculty, spoke on mental h ealth. He traced the development of personality through the influences of heredity and environment, using a portable blackboard to illustrate his examples. In describing the various mechanisms of the mind, Dr, Janjigian explain.e d the manner in which th e s e mechanisms make adjustm ents, although often in conflict with one another. The lecturer emphasized many mental processes, such as rationalization, which are often employed by healthy minds, and are at times of great assistance in helping the individual make adjustments to the environment. 12:00 9:00 8:30 8:30 4:00 9:00 12:00 9 :00· 9:00 1'2:00 12:00 4:00 7 :30 4:00 8:00 11:00 12:00 li2,:15 12 :00 11:00 12:00 4:00 9 :Of DEBATE TEAM ENTERS (continued from pag& 1) WHAT IS A COLLEGE GIRL? Betwee~ the sedate older woman .and the jitterb ug of the teens, w_e find a h~ht-hea~ed character 1known as the college girl. College girls come m all sizes, shapes, and various dyed locks. The coeds' motto: . Not study, of course, but boys, boys, boys, and more boys. (That mcludes men, too.) . Colle?e girls are found anywere . . . near men's locker s, engineermg drawmg rooms, calculus classes, physics lab, and anywhere she can find a m ember of the opposite sex. Mothers love them, fathers love them, but most of all, m en love them. A college girl is bobby socks and bermuda shorts, loveliness with peroxide on her shelf, and the budget-maker of tomorrow who spent next week's allowance last week. A college girl combines the charms of Zsa Zsa Gabor with the naivete of Judy Holliday, and no matter what she wants she geneerally gets him. ' She likes college weekends, crew cuts and dirty bucks, cancelled classes, football games, Cadillacs and dates, dates, dates. (And not the kind that grow on trees,) She breaks the h earts of the dorm housemother, the Dean of Women, and the fellow she happened to date last n~ght.

Feelzwell took a look at his trusty timepiece which at that moment read 1956 A.D. "Nearly 1957," he thought, "things certainly have been quiet around here recently." And that they had. As a matter of fact, things were still rather quiet. Six feet above Herkimer's comfy little coffin the lawn between Kirby and Chase was covered with snow. Even the paths were covered with snow. No one could expect Jervis' genii to shovel snow on Christmas morning. As a matter of fact no one had even made tracks in the snow on the paths. The campus was deserted. Herkimer V. (for Veracious) Feelzwell turned from his left side to his right side and then bumped his head as he tried to sit up. After .six years in his fur-lined coffin Herkimer still forgot that his quarters had low ceilings. He turned back to his left side and looked at the mole who had just stuck his head in the .win~o':';', or s_tarboard port~?le to be ex?ct.

Invitations have been issued to faculty members and guests. It is anticipated that many alumni l ettermen will attend tonight's affair in response to the invitations sent to them earlier this month. Couples attending the dance will be cordially received by Dr. and Mrs. Thatcher, Dean and Mrs. Ralston, and Mr. and Mrs. Detroy.

Tony Bianco and Mel McNew supervised decoration proceedings last night at the gym. Lettermen and members of Theta Delta Rho worked until early this morning converting the gymnasium into its present appearance of a dream world. The backdrop theme of the "Gayblade" skaters was designed by Walt Glogowski and depicts a couple in skating dress, the boy wearing a plaid scarf and the girl a plaid skirt. Willie Farish, senior letterman and B'MOC, was in charge of the programs, which were designed by Helen Miller, sophomore art student. Bob Sutherland, ticket chairman, has acknowledged that tickets will be available at the door as well as from any letterman.

Can you choose the winners? The girls of Theta Delta Rho evidently are going to have a tough time, but with perseverance, we're sure they will come through. The victors' photos will be printed in the first issue of the Beacon after Christmas - the January 11 issue. So that no one can accuse the judges of being biased, two precautions have been taken. First, the pictures are identified by numbers only, and no one, not even Dan Gawlas, Beacon members, or editors, know to whom the legs belong. And second, a set of standards have been set up to facilitate judging. Here they are: Nice legs: Framework must contain a tibia and a fibia. These should be covered with layers of cells w hich are round, firm, and fully packed. A final layer of epidermal cells must b e present. The presence of pilus is optional--the legs may he improved by the process of depilation, but if this growth is present, there should not be an excess. Hairy legs: Needless to say, here pil us is of the utmost importance, and ther e must be a minimum grow th of at lea st t hree strands per square inc h . Th e amount of curl is left t o t he discretio n of the judges. Knobby knees: The most important feature in thi s category is the presence of a protrudin g patella at least one inch beyond the t ibia (which also must be present) . Big fee t defi nitely will not influen ce t he judges, but we are sure that they w ill not be too harsh since not many small feet wer e ent ered.

For the past several v.:eeks, this department has had a temporary ed1to_r. The Beacon has pnnted several pleas for volunteers to assume the Job permanently. A few have tried for the position but for one re_ason or an_o~her, it just hasn't worked out. There ar~ many men, with real wntmg talent, who could do this but we have failed to take the opportunity. · Not wishing to see brother Tom stu;;k without a full staff, we have somewhat reluctantly taken the job as Sports editor. For those ;Vho feel that _t~ey have the ability to do the work and are being victimized b~ favontism we take pains to repeat that the open position was advertised verbally as well as in print. Anyone interested in taking the job now will have to step forward and unse:it this _writer. We have enjoyed our work as a roving reporter, because it pro:71ded a_ wonderful opportunity to get around the campus and get acquamted with people. We were able to get plenty of writing experience on varied subjects of interest to the Beacon readers. The editor of the sports ·p ages has too much work in his own dep~rtm:nt to go traipsing around after other stories; and though we will miss these activities somewhat, it is time now to get down to the business at hand, begin spurting some sports, and end the explanations. RESCIGNO WINS MENTION We received from the publicity department of Hofstra College a sports release in which our own Ron Rescigno was given honorablemention on the Flying Dutchmen's all-opponent football team. Ron was runner-up to Maryland State's Lenny Butler. Still speaking of football, further consolation for our not-tooimpressive winning record ean be found in the words of one of the offieials of the Lebanon Valley game. We had the pleasure of driving to that game with Dr. Steinman of Scranton, who was referee. After the contest we asked him what he thought of the team. He replied that he was impressed with their scrappiness and determination. He had never seen a team being beaten so decisively still tontinue to fight. We'd like to go on record as concurring whole-heartedly with that opinion. CAGERS FINDING RANGE Better days are in sight, though. While the cagers of Coach Eddie Davis had a slow start, their games have been anything but dull, and the stirring finish to Monday night's pulse-pounding contest with Moravian should provide assurance that all future home games will be held in a packed gym. We hope so, anyhow. Art additional bright spot on the horizon of Wilkes athletics is the mat team. If they can continue to match or approach the record of last year's stellar squad, we can look forward to many happy days in campus sports.

Mulcahy and Sam Puma also added a little interest in last year's contest by wearing their hair in the style of the barber shop quartets and wearing quite ·b right colored shirts.

Press Club Activities Tentatively Scheduled At Wednesday's Meeting The date: December 7, 1941. The place: Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The incident: Japan's infamous attack on an American base. The result: Many Americans Jost their lives and America's defenses received a serious dent. Our great nation, however, recovered from this great shock and soon ended the threat the Ja·panese aggressors posed to the world. Today, the anniversary of that dreadful infamy, is Wil-kes College blood donor day at the Blood Center on South Franklin Street. The hours of collection are from eleven to five. Every student, who can, should give a pint of blood. This small sacri fice can men so much to a sick person in need of this life-giving fluid. There is nothing to fear in giving blood and nothing can compare with that feeling one gets when one r ealizes he will be helping someone. A normal, healthy body replenishes the liquid part of the blood in less than four hours. You can look at the donor program as being a form of insurance. Anyone who donates may later obtain blood for themselves or any meber of their family if the n eed arises. This eliminates the task of looking for donors when a member of their family needs blood. ,By donating, the students allow the ·Blood Bank to serve the community and the blood will always be available whenever they need it. Another important feature of the program is the fact that the Civil Defense program of America is aided. One of the mottos of the Civil Defense organization is Don't be scared, be prepared. This motto can very well fit the description of the donation of blood. Wilkes College is the largest group donor in the Valley and last year set an all time high donating one hundred pints. John Reese, chairman of the Wilkes donor program, hopes the college top that total and he believes 1t can 1f every student will support this project. . Every person over twenty-one 1s eligible to benefit from the experience of donating blood; those students under that age must obtain their parents' permission. :wm STUDENTS PRAISE IRC JAZZ CONCERT by M. L. Onufer The first Jazz Concert held at Wilkes was a tremendous success. The audience seemed to thoroughly enjoy the unusual entertainment and style of the evening. Most of the comments heard were extremely favorable; and the I.R.C., sponsors, intend to continue this as an annual affair. Lee Vincent and his orchestra gave an excellent program of varied types of jazz. Probably the best received was the unprogramm ed di xieland jaziz number When the Saints Come Marching In. Suc,c essfully finishing off the evening was the Elvis .Presley Contest. Only Bob Turley and J esse Choper chose to display their pelvic talents, singing Don't be Cruel.

Speaker for the evening was Mr. Joseph F. Rocereto, senior partner of J oseph F. Rocereto and Company, Consulting Accountants and Management Consultants. The topic of his speech was "Management Cost Controls". Mr. Rocereto discussed the ty,p es of reports that management needs for controlling costs in manufacturing, administration, and sales. He stated that management cost controls consisted of four parts: Financial ,p urpose, Management for Marketing and .Sales, Operating reports, and reports for general purposes. Further discussion included various ideas and descriptions of what a good managerial report should contain. A group discussion period followed the speaker. The students in attendance were also asked to partieipate in the discussion. Mr. Rocereto is also a Director in many well-known organizations: Planters Nut and Chocolate Company, the Third National Bank & Trust •Company, Scranton; the Coaldale -M i n i n g Company, and others. He is the author o;f many books about business, and has also been r ecognized nationally in Who's Who in Industry. The monthly meetings of •S AM have always been very interesting and enlightening. Students attending not only hear a s·peech concerning important business matt ers, but, also, they have the opportunity to see and hear how these problems are approached and set.t ied. L eonard Mulcahy, president of the college chapter of SAM, extends an invitation to all Commerce and Finance students to attend future Senior Cha,p ter SAM meetings. The knowledge gained from these meetings will give a better understanding of the functions of business.

The audiences had much favorable comment for the productions - Seeds of Suspicion, The Leprechaun, and How to Propose. Under the direction of Larry Amdur, a cast led by Fred Whipple and Daisette Gebhart handled the very difficult Seeds of Suspicion quite adequately. Andrew Evans was most effective as the loquacious chemist in his 90 seconds on stage. Marian Laines played the supporting role of Mrs. Sutton quite well. Ronnie Price was the outstanding star of the three -p roductions as the title character in the comedy, The Leprechaun. His Irish brogue could not bury his pixie wit, which completely dominated the play and left the audience roaring. Merri Jones turned in a fine performance as the light-footed, danceloving Katy O'Donnihan. Gen e Stickler was good in his role as a love-sick fisherman and Don H enry portrayed an adequate King of the Leprechauns. A hilarious finish was added to the entertainment by the last play, Whal.~.

Coach Eddie Davis, not too happy over the results of recent games, can take pride in the consistent play of some veterans, as well as most of the first-year men on the squad. Top Team Scorer ASHLEY LEADS KEGLERS In Three Games; BY DEFEATING SHAMROCKS Good on Defense Scoring 74 points in three Colonels' cage contests, veteran George Morgan captured this week's top athlete award. Morgan, one of the leading scorers in small colleges last season, turned in a sparkling performance before the home crowd "in the East Stroudsburg game last week, netting 30 points. In other contests, Morgan scored 18 in the Dickinson game and 36 at Ithaca in the team's opening contest. The six-foot-one junior sparked the ,Colonels in their bid for the first win of the season at home with his splendid ball-handling and timely work off the backboards. U sing his ·fine sense of timing to best advantage, he cleared the ·b oards and tapped in several <key goals in what proved to be a losing cause. The Blue and Gold went down to a heart-breaking 80-85 defeat in overtime in that game. Morgan, a graduate of Plymouth High School, came to Wilkes from Potomac S tate Junior ,College last year. He is a Business Administration major. With his 18 points hel,p ing the Colonels capture their first win of the young season against Dickin,s on, Coach Eddie Davis is looking forward to a successful conclusion of the season. With George in there with his scoring -p unch and backboard ability, it 1 o o ks as ,t hough the Wilkes cagers have an excellent chance to improve last year's r ecord and suriprise a few of the tough opponents on the schedule. PLAN NEW PROGRAM F O R INTRAMURALS A new program for intramural sports will be introduced at Wilkes. John Reese announced he would like to have four freshmen, sophomore, junior, and senior boys from the intramural basketball teams help him during the season . These team representatives will take care of scheduling games, keeping scores and r ecords, and other matters done in the past by Mr. Reese and a student director. Relieved of these res•p onsibilities, Mr. Reese will be able to provide a better intramural program for the students. The schedule of the basketball teams participating in the program will appear in next week's issue of the Beacon. 11111111111111111111111111111111111111IIIIIIIIII SPECIAL TUX GROUP PRICES for ,. 1~ WILIES DANCES at JOHN B.

Six men were in double figures as the ·Colonels poured on the power and romped over the home club, 8·3-58. The game was never close, as Eddie Davis' crew took an early lead and was never headed. The halftime score had the Colonels leading, 42-20. Led -b y George Morgan, with six goals and -s ix foul conversions, the Wilkesmen rang up their first win of the campaign. Freshmen George Gacha and Bob Turley added ten points each to the cause. Eddie Birnbaum contributed 14, Bob Sokol 12, and Elmer Snyder had 10, as all four varsity lettermen hit in double figures. Ray Weaver was high for t he Red Devils with 24. The Colonels dunked 35 goals and made 13 of 19 fouls tried. Dickinson scored 22 goals while converting 14 of 21 throws from the fou l line. Playing in their initial home game of the season Monday evening , the cagers made it two losses in succession, as they were upended by the East Stroudsburg five, 85-80. The Colonels showed excellent board strength and good offensive team play a s they broke through their opponent's zone defense for most of the game. However, superior pressing ability on the part of the Stroud quintet in the last m oments of the regulation game, which ended in a 76-76 deadlock, and good shooting in the overtime period proved to be the difference.

Chuck Robbins - SPORTING GOODS 28 "North Main Street The brightest spot of the current campaign has been the fine play of George Morgan. If Morgan's floor play and scoring continue at its present :pac'e, he should be a candidate for state and national honors. Geo rge moves well in the pivot and is exceedingly adept at the give and go. Th e -b ig surprise of the season has been in the quality of the fresh~ man ballplayers. George Gacha, the solidly built,, 5-9 guard, showed plenty of offensive punch at Ithaca College last Saturday evening, as he poured 26, points through the hoop. The expected lack of r ebounding strength fa iled to develop as Bob Turley, an all-valley basketball selection from Nanticoke, played a fine board game against Stroudsburg. Bernie Redecki has lived up to t he expectations and has given the hoopsters strength up front and under the boards. Wilkes seems to lack most the team play and confidence which comes from working together. They have the hejght and the scoring ability; all that's needed is time to develop themse1ves into a cohesive unit.

BEACON Contest Seeks lo Prove Males Superior The males on the Wilkes cam pus h ave been busy proving to the girls that they a r e a group of fun-loving, collegiate, hig h-spirited young men after a ll, and incidentall y, the superior sex. The enthusiastic response which t he Beacon's " Guys' Greatest Garns Contest" has r eceived seems to prove that the Wilkes m en are not the stuffy, dull, unimaginative g uys which the girls have often accused them of being, but are exactly the opposite. Wagers are being made as to whether or not one of the Lettermen will cop the title of nicest legs, but some eyes have been turned to, members of the faculty. And the Beacon has been informed that it's going to be quite a battle for the title. The struggle for the hairiest legs and knobbiest · kn ees title will also be a close one, with many campus organizations vying for the honor. Dan Gawlas, the official ·p hotographer for the contest, has announced that pictures may be taken today in Chase Theatre from 12 :45 to 1:15, and from 1:45 to 2:15. All that's necessary to enter is to report to Dan during these hours with your pants legs rolled up. The Beacon will print these pictures from time to time, but with numbers only. The picture schedul e for next week has not yet been a nnounced, but will be posted on the main bulletin board as soon as possible. A committee of Theta Delta Rho m embers headed by Patsy Reese, Janice Schuster, and Norma Davis, will select winners from photograp hs submitted to the Beacon. The pictures of the winners as well as those of their legs will appear in the Wilkes paper, and these fortunate fellows will be -p resented with trophies and useful ana practical gifts. H eading the gift committee will be Beacon editor Tom Myers, Dick Myers, Mary Louise Onufer, and Marion Klawonn. The committee is k eeping the prizes secret, but so far have divulged that trophies will be presented. The closing date of the contest has not yet been announced and will depend upon the response of the m en. If the present enthusiasm continues , Editor Myers hopes to announce the winner in the next f ew weeks . So, hurry and enter men, get your so upbon e in the stew. by M. L. Onufer JAZZ! JAZZ! JAZZ!

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1956 VARSITY DEBATERS ENTER N.Y.U. TOURNAMENT TODAY Photo by Dan Gawlas The four varsity debaters and their coach, who will represent Wilkes today and tomorrow at the N.Y.U. Hall of Fame Tourney, are (left to right): Jesse Choper, John Bucholtz, Dr. Arthur N. Kruger, Fred Rob erts , and <Bruce Warshal. Choper and Bucholtz will debate in the negative, Roberts and Warshal will take the affirmative of the national collegiate topic: Resolved, That the United 'States should discontinue direct economic aid to foreign countries. Dr. Kruger, coach of the team, will accompany them and will act as judge of events not involving his team. Twice in the past, Wilkes College has been well represented at this tourney. Three years ago, the team finished second with a 6-2 record, matching the placement and record of a previous Wilkes entry. Before the debates begin this evening, a. panel of experts on international affairs will hold a preliminary panel discussion of the to.p ie under con. sideration. Dr. Kruger expects to meet an old friend and former student at the tourney, Nick Flannery, now Director of Debate at the University of Pennsylvania. Nick will be remembered on campus as one of the mainstays of former Wilkes debating teams. In the Novice class, two members of the team will also see weekend action. Paul Kanjorski, sophomore, and Armand •Caruso, freshman, will travel to Philadelphia tomorrow to participate in the Temple University Novice Tournament. When interviewed by the Beacon, Dr. Kruger said that the biggest threat from the opposition rests in our own district. The Princeton and St. Joseph's teams will be hard to beat and the Flannery-coached Pennsylvanians may also cause some trouble. Dr. Kruger feels, however, that the four veterans on the varsity will be a tremendous help. Bucholtz and Choper, whom he considers two of the keenest prospects he has ever coached, may well lead the team to the national title. If the debaters meet the qualifying requirements, they will enter the West Point National Invitational meet, which is the Rose ·Bowl of Debate. Dr. Kruger feels that qualification and subsequent high honors in this tourney are not beyond the realm of possibility; that his team has the potential; and that with a few successful meets behind them, the outlook for this year is very bright.

Man's generosity to his fellows sometimes becomes an i;;spiring thing. Everyone speaks of the "Brotherhood of Man. At Wilkes, we to see this generous spirit of brotherhood start before the Christmas season. Next week, Friday, is the College's annual Blood Drive. We can demonstrate our holiday generosity by donating a pint of blood. It should not be necessary to tell college students why the drive is needed - we just want to make everyone aware that the drive is on. Brother, can you spare a pint - of blood? - tim Between the Seasons A very famous sports writer once remarked that the good Lord will judge how they played, above who won and loat. This, in essence, is the story of the Wilkes football and soccer teams. Between the two teams, the college could win but three games, tie one and lose 14. The record may not be very impressive, but they never stopped trying for the Blue and Gold. They played clean and fought hard and did justice to the name of Wilkes. Now, they ask justice from us. The football team played under one coach, which is utterly ridiculous. Both teams could have used more support, and some more and better players. Some people are afraid to promote a better team, for fear of turning the College into a "foundry". We, and many others, are against the idea of creating a college built around a football or any other athletic machine. But we are going from one extreme to another. We have only one grid coach, while high schools in the area have at least three. The men who are the Colonels don't ask for much. But they ask for more than one football coach. Modem football really requires three, but two is the absolute minimum. They ask for more help for the soccer coach, who, at the end of the season, must take charge of wrestling workouts, take care of the gym and administer the intramural programs. An then there is the touchy topic of "Athletic Scholarships". We give free tuition to people who have special ability in all the other fields, from music to math. But not athletes. Every team that Wilkes played on its schedule ·gave athletic scholarships, yet they weren't factories for men who could do nothing but carry the pigskin or play soccer. Many of these players may be too poor to attend college. And they may have an ability to excel in football or another sport. They may have the intelligence and desire to do college work. But they are not given a chance. It is too bad, for these men go to other colleges, where they get assistance. We spoke to one such local athlete, who played for one of the Colonels' opponents. He has a high "B" average and is not being pushed through just because he is a star. He is competing at the same level as any other student in the college. This year's story is in the books. Both teams made mistakes and some fine plays. But they were outclassed because WE, the College - faculty, students and Administration - gave them only token supporL Next year, let's do it right, or not do it at all. C. K. Whal. ~.

Press-History Club Dance by John Pisaneschi Scranton Ballet Guild, under the direction of J ames Sutton and Alexi Ramov, presented a program of Ballet at assembly Tuesday. The premiere showing of Ballet Shoes, composed by Ferdinand Liva, highlighted the program. Mr. Detroy op.ened the program by introducing Mr. Ramov, choreographer of the Ballet Guild. Mr. Ramov spoke briefty about the origin of the term "ballet" and explained that it encompassed not only dancing but also music and drama. He mentioned that dancing and music are a part of our heritage. · Exhibitions of the many different types of ballet dancing were given on the program. Mary Ann Strilka presented a dance in the modern jazz mood. An unusual Spanish character dance was shown by Joan Marie Mc H u g h. Following Miss McHugh's dance, Mr. Ramov explained that character dances are not authentic folk dances but that the ideas for the dances are taken from the folk and national tunes of a country. The exciting Dance of the Bluebird, from Sleeping Beauty, was presented by Sheila Casoria as an example of classical ballet. Classic toe-dancing in the modern jazz idiom was displayed by Romaine Strilka. Linda Bennington and Alberta iBarbini each performed a number from Les Sylphides. The entire troupe danced to portions of the ballet, Pas De Six. Members of the Wyoming Valley Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of Ferdinand Liva, provided the accompaniment for the program. BOWLING MATCHES AT JCC ON SUNDAY Donor Day at Local Red Cross To Commemorate Observance Of Pearl Harbor Anniversary by Richard J. Myers Fifteen years ago, on December 7, the United States was thrown into a global war. Thousands upon thousands of American men were sent into battlefields all over the world to spill their blood on foreign soil. TDR CHARITY AFFAIR DRAWS LARGE CROWD Over 100 faculty, students, and parents attended the annual Theta Delta Rho Card Party Wednesday night in the cafeteria, making this affair one of the most successful in many years. Entertainment, prizes, and refreshments added to the evening of fun. One of the luckiest in the prize department was Dr. Ch'ungTai 'Lu, a memiber of the Economics department. Dr. Lu managed to cop the door prize ( a picture), the raffle prize (a coffee pot), and the table prize. A trio consisting of . Cathy Modica, Judy Menegus, and Peggie Salvatore opened the entertainment for the evening. Following the trio, Joan Rishkofski sang "'Somewhere Along the Way". and Peggie Salvatore played several solos on the accordian. The program was rounded out by a hill-billy comedy routine by Pat Yost and Doris Dzurie. Proceeds from the card party will go for a scholarship which the sorority offers each year to a freshman girl on the basis of scholastic and leadership ability. -------------- Quotable Quotes It is all over now. Many lives have been saved, many men are now gainfully employed, living useful and vital lives because of the source of all human life ... blood. None of us is too young to remember the posters advertising the need for this life-giving fluid. The riflle jammed into the ground, the precious bottle of ,p la·s ma suspended from its stook, and the injured GI receiving a reprieve from death were familiar sights on billboards and in publications throughout the country. Because we are now enjoying a somewhat uneasy peace does not mean that the need for blood donations is over. John Reese, chairman of the Wilkes College blood donor program, announced today that next Friday, the anniversary of the most momentous day in our history, will be Wilkes blood donor day at the Blood Center on South Franklin Street. The hours of collection are from eleven to five. ·L ast year the College set a.n alltime high, donating 100 pints. It is hoped that this year will find our College topping that total. The important feature of the Wilkes donor program is the fact that anyone who donates may later obtain blood for themselves or any member of their family if the need arises. This has the effect of serving a dual purpose in allowing the Blood Bank to serve the community, while the students insure that blood will be available to them without undue difficulty.

Brubeck, ·a graduate of East Stroudsburg State Teachers College, held this position at Wilkes from 1950 to 1953. Before that tirrie, she taught at Forty Fort High _ School. Last year she ret~rned to Forty Fort to teach driver-training. Besides being known for her fine job of coaching, she has done a considerable amount of refereeing of hookey and basketball games in the area. Mrs. !Brubeck has enthusiastically embarked upon the task of getting the girls_' basketball team into shape. Although there are enough girls to make up a first-rate team, practice time is scarce and some of last year's· "cautious Colonelettes" are unable to attend the drill sessions. Last Tuesday, Mrs. Br u b e ck said, "We will do the best we can with the time allotted." Pr"l,ctice sessions are held every Tuesday at 3:00 and Thursday at 11:00. Members from last year's team who will be seen on the courts again are : Karen Karmilowicz, Phyllis Walsh, Marcia Elston, Grace Major, Barbara Federer, •B ernadine Vidunis, Rose W eiristein and Marion Klawonn.

City Shoe Repair by Carol Breznay The following is a summary of the results of a survey conducted by the m emb ers of Dr. Mailey's Public Opinion and Pro.p aganda class. The persons contacted in this survey were the Wilkes College faculty and their wives. Eighty individuals were polled, fifty-five of these were faculty, twenty-five were wives . The survey was taken in the two weeks preceding the 1956 presidential election. The poll consisted of twenty questions dealing with various factors which might have contributed to the formation of the interviewed i)erson's party preference or which might have suggested his probable preference : friend's , wife's, parents' preference, interviewed person's age, racial background, etc. The poll had three major purposes: To determine wherether there is a correlation between the party preferenc-e of husbands and wives. To ascertain whether the survey could indicate the interviewed person's party preference on the basis of .his profile. To find out if there is a tendency among the group to be influenced by environmental factors in preferring one •p arty over another. From the survey, the following conclusions were reached: 1. There is a high correlation between the :party preference of husbands and wives. 2. The voting profile can serve as a reasonably accurate predictive device. 3. Wilkes College faculty mem, bers and their wives have been influenced only slightly in their party preferences by the preferences of their parents. 4. Environmental factors are undoubtedly important in contributing to the party preference. ~'";,JUCCD ~~.~~1 ~--:::?--1,,.,- /• E n¥1~ l r~ JORDAN CHARGE ACCOUNT POMEROY'S 3-E.

So much has been made about feminine beauty that the Beacon decided to even the score and give the males on the campus a chance to disprove the ludicrous idea that only women have nice legs. The fertile brains of the aforementioned staff began working, and amid much smoke, an idea appeared. To you, dear readers, we present our contest - "The Guys' Greatest Garns •Contest". The rules are simple - to enter, you must be a male from the Wilkes campus . If you fit into this category, report at once to Dan Gawlas with your :pants rolled up.

In addition to th e dancing, the Murray dancers will give a recital, illustrating the degree of skill which can be attained by their students. Following this exhibition, a free lesson will be given to those in att endance as part of the Murray program to acquaint Wilkes students with the type of instruction available to them. Besides adding a n o th er few hours of dancing to the weekend schedule, this Party offers a chance for those afflicted with "two left feet" to do something about correcting their deficiencies. The dance school is prepared to form a Wilkes dancing class at special rates. The entire course is twenty hours in length and the student is given instructions in all modern dance forms, polkas, LatinAmerican styles and any other form desired. The cost, too, is reasonable. The -c omplete course costs just $11.00. Arrangements can be made to fit th e ,program of instructions into the college schedule in order to p ermit a maximum number of people to participate. It doesn't matter if you have never danced before. The Murray School is well-equipped to handle a beginner's class and is capable of moving such individuals out of this class in a remarkably short time. This is an excellent chance for the students of Wilkes to take a big step forward in making all of our future dances completely successful. There are no coupons to clip, nothing to send in, no slogans to write, everything will be arranged for you. The bargain is there, you owe it to yourself to come out and take advantage of it. Be at the gym at four, and come as you ar-e. Moran's Ivy Leaguers to Play At Freshman Sponsored Dance; Class President General Chairman by John Pisaneshi . The freshman class of Wilkes will sponsor a dance, "The Silhouette Serenade", at the gym tonight. Dancing will be from 9 to 12 and the price of a ticket is only SO cents. Decorations of bla·ck, silver, and French blue and candles set on small tables will give an exotic and misty atmosphere to the gym. ALL COLLEGE DANCE IN GYM NOVEMBER 23 by Richard J. Myers The All-College Dance, one of the biggest social events of the School year, will be held at the Wilkes gym next Friday night, November 23. The Student Council sponsors the affair. Over the past several years, this has been one of the most popular and well-attended events to be held on campus. This year, as in the past, invitations have been sent out to all the colleges and universities on the Atlantic seaboard. Crowds in excess of 1,000 have been recorded and it is expected that this fi gure will easily be passed this year. Gene Marchetti will provide the music. The popular local musician will be making his third appearance on the Wilkes scene and brings with him his "Seven Sinful Syncopators" who will get things underway at nine· o'clock. The septet will play until midnight, with a half-hour intermission. During th e intermission, Sam Lowe and the Wilkes Collegians will be fe atured in part of the entertaining program. The all-male chorus will present a varied menu of vocal favorites in its second informal concert before the student body. Fred Walko, the group's arranger, will accompany them at the piano. If these first-class entertainment and d a n c in g fea.t ures are not features are not enough to attract attention to the dance, the low cost of the affair should settle any doubts. Admission will be free, and there will be no charge for Bob Moran and his Ivy Leaguers will provide the dreamy music. The refreshment committee will be on hand to serve the apple cider and doughnuts. Take heed, guys! The publicity committee has also invited the pretty nurses from the General Mercy, Wyoming Valley, and Nes~ bitt hospital s. Invitations were also sent to the high schools throughout the Vall ey. The committee had th e announcem ents in the local newspapers and beamed over -the local radio stations. Ira Himmel, -p resident of the freshman class, is general chairman of the affair. The committees are: Publicity, Bob Evans, chairman, Pat Shov1in, John Pisaneschi, and Merle Cohen· tickets, Ed Duncan, chairman, Con~ nie Yahara, Judy Richardson, and 1Bob Washburn; decorations, Mary Homan, chairman, Linda Passarelli, Francis Steck, and Judy Wenger; refreshments, Elaine Stien, chairman, Georgianna ··Sebolka, Ed Vail, and Joe Margallis. Ira Himmel and Allyn Jones made the arrangements for the band. The cla ss of '60 spared nothing to make the dance a .big success and a good time is in store for all who attend. refreshments . Virginia Brehm is general chairman of the affair, assisted by the following: Publicity, John Karolchyk and Rose Weinstein; decora,t ions, Gail McMillan and Edmund Kotula; program, Mary West and Carol Hallam; Mary Mattey and Dick Roberts will be in charge of the refreshments. 'MISTER X', LLEWELLYN, SHAW, TREMAYNE WINNERS IN ELECTION GUESSING CONTEST Dr. Hugo V. Mailey, chairman of the Political .Science Department, announced last night that the winners of the election prediction contest are: Joan Llewellyn, Bill Tremayne, Andrew Shaw, and an unidentified fourth party. Miss Llewellyn tied Tremayne for first place by correctly predicting the electoral vote in 45 of the 48 states and missing only four senatorial contests. She missed on three local contests, but correctly estimated the Luzerne County vote for Enoch Thomas and James Duff. Mr. Tremayne missed the electoral vote in only five states and successfull y chose all but four of t he successful senatorial aspirants. He sagely predicted every local contest correctly and also chose the correct Luzerne County vote for re-elected Congressman Daniel J. Flood. Mr. Shaw picked 44 of the 48 states as they actually went and missed only four senate contests. He missed only one local race, but was not abl e to estimate the numerical votes for any of the candidates. The last winner, who tied with Mr. Shaw, is as yet unknown, due to the fact that the identities of the contestants were concealed to• make marking objective. The unknown contestant, "Mister X", missed six s-tates' votes, but was more accurate on th e other parts. He, or she, miscalculated on but three senate races and but one local co ntest. "Mister X" also successfully predicted the Luzerne ·County vo,te for victorious Joseph Clark. JOIN TBE COLONELS' CARAVAN �2 WILKES COLLF.GE BEACON EDITORIALS - Sesquicentennial Year For the third week, the Beacon is featuring the Wilkes-Barre Sesquicentennial Seal next to its masthead. We would like to take this opportunity to salute the City of Wilkes-Barre for its 150 years of growth and progress. Happy Birthday! Newswriting Seminar Tuesday night at 8 p.m. will be the first of several seminars on newswriting which the Beacon will conduct this year. An invitation has been issued to have all those who would benefit by such experience be present. The Beacon especially welcomes those outside of the staff, who have an interest in journalism. We would like to take time also to point out to club and class presidents, that their clubs should be represented at this seminar. We can't publicize events of which we have no knowledge. Publicity directors of organizations on campus must inform us of news from their clubs. Sometimes they even have to write the stories themselves. It helps if they know how. We'd like to have your representatives present. Friday, November 16, 1956 'CHROMOTOGRAPHY' TOPIC OF CHEM CLUB'S SPEAKER '55 Wilkes Graduate Presents Principles Of M.I.T.

Mr. Corsi told of his first impressions of America upon arrival at Ellis Island at the age of ten, and also of his return there twenty years later. Then the speaker explained the outstanding achievements made by immigrants in our country. Aside from laying the foundation of America, successes have been made in fields such as business, politics, music, and nuclear fission. Several laws were mentioned pertaining to immigration, including the McCarran-Walter Act, Restriction Act, and the Quota Law, in addition to the two bills now in Congress, Lehman a nd Ives. The speaker mentioned that America has an obligation to immigrants and that the debate of these two new bills is of great importance. Mr. Corsi concluded by stating that we should remember that the immigrant helped make America what it is today, and also, that through immigration, America has shown the world that people of different backgrounds .c an work together.

The loss was the seventh of the season against one victory for the Blue and Gold. Bridgeport won its first game after seven unsuccessful tri.es.

Reports from the Publicity and Constitution committees which were established last week were heard. The Constitution committee headed by Mike Melchior with Bob Pitel, George Schall, Louise Marcus, Judy Ruggere, and John Allen met earlier in the week to revise the -Constitution of the party. The constitution must be presented at two meetings in revised form before any attempt at ratification is made. The ,p ublicity committee, composed of James O'Dwyer, chairman, George Schall, John Saba, Francis Steck, Bill Edwards, and Emmanuel Ziolno, was urged to do a more complete job of publicizing-I future meetings. Smulowitz remarked that lthis was perhaps one of the causes for the small attendance at the present meeting. Smulowitz also requested that the members of the party try to bring in ideas at the next meeting to establish the party platform. These should include what characteristics are to be sought in the various class nominees. The purpose and policies of the · party were reviewed for the new members. Bill stated that the party is not a radical movement as considered by many, but rather, an organization which will attempt to reorganize the election system at Wilkes. The party will nominate candidates for the class offices at its meetings. These people would run on a strong ticket with a party platform and a backing of the party. These candidates would be then nominated at the class m eetings to run against whomever else is chosen by any other method. A considerable part of the meeting was devoted to a discussion of the article on the party which appeared in last week's Beacon. The general idea expressed by the m embers was that the article was "untrue", "slanderous", "confused", and "expressed no main thought". " The material was · taken out of context". Bill Smulowitz alleged that he said what was written, but that the interpretation was wrong. Any person not familiar with the Campus Party would get the wrong idea about it. Smulowitz also declaimed the .p art of the article which mentioned him as being quoted by a class president to have said that this gro up would try to -c ombat a secret organization which was being formed on campus and that veterans were not wanted in the party. Smulowiitz claimed to have proved his point by mentioning that in the same paper a .personally signed letter appeared which invited veterans to join the party. THE KERNEL'S KORN hy Dick Myers In our last session, we discussed the fine international collegiate in-door sport, drinking. Since that time, several of our acquaintances have asked if this sort of thing really goes on in college. Actually, we can't say this with any real a uthority, but the following incident is related for what it's worth. Last week a ,pink elephant, pur:ple tiger and seven blue snakes entered a local bistro, but the bartender told them they might · as well leave because the gang that usually saw them had to study for tests that night. . Speaking of snakes, we hear that they put snakes with the D.T.'s in a people.pit. Incidentally, those pink elephants are beasts of bourbon. One of the Wilkes lads was seen in a local pub staring into the mirror at his bloodshot eyes. H e vowed he'd never go into a .b ar again, that the TV was wrecking his eyes. 'She was.__only the bootlegger's daughter, but he loved her still. On Monday morning, one of our instructors entered a noisy classroom and announced that he would not start the class until the room settled down. A voice from the rear of the room suggested that he go home and sleep it off: Not all college activities are confined to drinking. There are those on campus who are fond of devoting all their time to the pursuit of the opposite sex. One co-ed came dashing in the dorm wailing that she had caught her boy-friend necking, to which her roommate blandly replied, "Yeah, that's how I caught mine, too." The irate father met his daughter at the door in the wee hours of the morning and asked her escort what he m eant by bringing his daughter home at that unearthly hour. The lad explained that he had to, because he had a class at 8. The women today don't really have a big choice. They can either be old maids and look for husbands every day, or get married and look for their husbands every night. In the same vein, husbands with bett er halves are worse off than ba.chelors with better quarters. One of our associates claims that marriage is like going into a restaurant with a friend. You order what you want, then when you see what the other guy gets you wish you had that instead. In a local restaurant a few days ago, we asked the waiter what was the matter with the eggs he served us. He answered that he didn't know, he'd only laid the table. Some cannibals were getting ready to cook up their weekly meal of missionaries. They wouldn't boil one of them, though, he was a friar. We see in the paper that the women of Wilkes have started a new club, the WA•C. P ersonally, we have nothing against clubs for women. They are quite effective when all else fails. Strange as it may seem, there are some in our midst who attend classes. In a History class the other day, the instructor interrupted his lecture to ask the students in the back of the room to stop passing notes back and forth. One of them informed him that they were not notes, but cards and they were playing bridge. "Oh," said the 'prof, "excuse me.'' Another instructor pointed down to the floor of his classroom and sternly asked whose cigarett e butt was thrown there. One of the seniors replied, "You can have it, Prof, you saw it first.'' STUDENTS INVITED TO ORGAN RECITAL The students of Wilkes are cordially invited to attend an organ r ecital featuring Louie W. Ayre on Sunday at 3:30 P.M. at St. Clement's Church, Hanover Street, Wilkes-Barre. The recital is being sponsored by the Guild Student Group, A.G.O. of Wilkes-·B arre The repertoire of musical works will feature such noted compositions as Pastorale by J. S. Bach, Adagio by Josef H. Fiocco, and Meditation -b y Jan Nieland, in addition to others. The afternoon promises to be one of entertaining music for all. A free will offering will follow the recital.

CUE 'N' CURTAIN SHOWS SET DESIGN At the recent workshop of Cue 'n' •Curtain, Larry Groninger was disappointed because of the poor turnout. The wor,k shop was on set design, and was expected to attract a large number of students out side the club. No~ that rehearsals are in progress for the sem ester's plays, all students, especially Art and Education majors, are encouraged to stop in at Chase Theater and see either Al Groh or Larry Groninger about set design and stage lig hting . Mr. Groh believes t hat both students and the College, through the drama group, will benefit because of any interest future teachers might show. WC FACULTY WOMEN TO FE T E RALSTONS The Wilkes Faculty Women will sponsor their annual facility tea on Tuesday afternoon from 3 to 5 o'clock. The tea, to be held in the Cafeteria, is in honor of Mr. and Mrs. George Ralston. ·Mrs. Samuel Rosenberg, who is in charge of arrangem ents, stated .that the purpose of the tea is to acquaint the members of the faculty and their wives with the student body in an atmosphere more personal than that of the class room. The tea is an informal affair and the Wilkes Collegians will sing. legiate . Government ·C I u b) will sponsor the college's first jazz concert November 3,0 at ,t he gymnasium. It isn't a dance, but popular local bandleader Lee Vincent will have part of his group there as a jazz combo, playing from 9 'ti! 12. Featured at intermission of the concert will be two contests for those attending. The first contest will be for the old-fashioned "cats", a Charleston "dance-a-thon". The winners will be the "flaming youths" who can cut the best figur., in the late-twenties' fa v o r it e. Prizes will be awarded. The second feature will be a big talent search. The club is seeking "Mr. Elvis Presley of Wyoming Valley". All those with vocal and pelvic talent are invited to enter. You may be the winner of the silver cup being awarded the victor. The arrangements committee for the concert are: Bill Tremayne, Paul Kanjorski, Neil Turtel, Jim Alcorn, and George Silewski. Admission ·p rice has been set at 75 cents. The concert idea was brought up to make an improvement in the college's social activities. If the event is as successful as it is predicted to be, the club intends to make the affair traditional. DORM SWIM PARTY AT J.C.C. MONDAY by Marion Klawonn The Inter-Dorm ,Council's swim party was held last Monday at the Jewish ,Community ·Center from 7 to 9 o'clock. A good time was had by all who managed to tear themselves away from their studies. The few "grinds" who didn't go were briefed on the proceedings by dormmates. A few g ir ls reall y "went ape" on the diving board while others just splashed around in the water. Several races started but ended halfway down the .pool amid puffs a nd grunts by the participants. .E veryone enjoyed the party except a few who were heard to exclaim , "I'll never be able to studymy brain is water-soaked." What brain? A meeting of the Wilkes C. _ legiate Council for the United Nations was held last night at Warner Hall. One purpose of this m eeting was to explain just what the CGUN is. Plans were also made for a constitution, which will be submitted to the Student Council for approval. Dave Vann and Ahmed Kazimi are interested in forming a wellorganized OCUN affiliated group at Wilkes, and have as!ked that all people desiring to join this group do so a t once. Briefly, the OCU N is an organization which helps students become more familiar with the United Nations. The group has as its aim the development of a well-informed American public. Dave Vann, who was elected to the office of Middle Atlantic Director, is making a trip to Nashville, T ennessee, this weekend. Vann will attend a meeting of the National Board of Directors of the COUN at .Scarrit College. He will make the trip by plane, and is leaving the campus today. The purpose of this m eeting ;s to help the Middle-South region become organized. .Specific problems will be discussed, and suggestions as to how they can implement the CGUN program, and organize chapters, will be offered. HIMMEL PRESENTS POLICIES TO CLASS The freshman class held a meeting in the 'Lecture Hall last Thurs~ day, November 1. Presiding at the meeting were Ira Himmel, president; Pat Shovlin, vice-president; Elaine Stein, treasurer; Georgianna Sebolka, secrtary. F r e s h m e n representing the Frosh Council are: Bob Evans, Ed Duncan, Merle Cohen, Ray :Sordoni, Francis Stec'k, John Mulhall, Moncey Miller, Marilyn Russ, Jerome Gutterman, Judy Richardson, and Bob Washburn.

Vol. XXI, No. 9 - WILKES COLLEGE THE BEACON ~~Beacon Serving the College since 1936 WILKES COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1956 Mailey Analyzes TEXAS X FEATURED Tuesday's Election AT WC 'HARVEST HOP' For w. C. Students---. Scranton Band AMDUR WILL DIRECT ,. Exclusive Interview For BEACON by Carol Breznay Dr. Hugo V. -Mailey, head of the Political Science Department at Wilkes College, has offered an interesting, informative analysis of the recent elections. In an exclusive Beacon interview, Dr. Mailey gave his opinion on this vital issue. In his first statement, he brought out two main points. According to Dr. Mailey, "·T he. vote for President Eisenhower and the Democratic party represents a victory of the middle 'Class who seek moderation through the image of the Eisenhower .p residency, and on the other h.a nd also represents a victory for the same middle class which seeks to allay its fears from the tormentine- m em en t o s and ghostly scars of the depression era, through a preference for the Democratic Congress." This election proved that military heroes are still popular in the United States. This was a ,personal landslide for Eisenhower, and the decision for the voter was between Eisenhower and the Democratic party. The voter resolved his dilemma by voting for Eisenhower on the one hand and the Democratic Congress on the other. An indication that this was a :personal victory is the fact that Eisenhower did not take the Republican Congress into office with him, particularly the House of Representatives. It is the House that usually reflects the political temperament of the people, and usually votes as the president. This is the first time since Zachary Taylor, another military hero, that a .p resident was not able to carry the House. There have been four times when the president was not able to take the Senate, the last time being 1916. Eisenhower's popularity and glamour are not transferrable, and his name is not magic. It does not rub off on other party candidates. Another indication of a personal vi ctory, according to Dr. Mailey, is the fact that in the Republican National Party Convention Debates of 1952 and 1954, party stalwarts made blunt m ention of the fact that the y could not win without Eisenhower. Dr. Mailey brought out several other points. Third was that there is a tinge of isolationism in the voting for presidency. A number of groups were highly impressed by the presidential statement that we would not become involved in war. The fourth point was that there were no real issues in this campaign. Basically, Stevenson and Eisenhower are both moderates, and had the same views on domestic and foreign ,p roblems. Stevenson did try to manufacture some last-minute issues, such as his Hbomb stand, bµt he did not get much mileage out of these coined To Play Tonile Al Econ Dance 'SEEDS OF SUSPICION' Dr. Hugo V. Mailey ideas. Such. regional issues as farm prices did have an eff ect on the Congressional returns; farm discontent was registered not against Eisenhower, but against the Republican Senatorial and Congressional candidates. A fifth .point is that there has been no basic reshuffling of party alignments as a result of this election. After four years, the Republican party has not been able to construct a foundation on which it can rely to produce large majorities. The party has not turned to its most readily available force, the newly - developing urban - middle class. As far as the South is concerned, the Republican party has failed to develo.p a two-party South. The southern voters voted the man and not the party. Eisenhower had a· personality appeal to voters in the South, just as he had to the northerners. The group to which the Republicans can turn to build a two-party South is again the urbanmiddle class, because it is this class that is pushing industrialization, and they are presently creating the strongest pressures for two-party politics. Yet, it might be some time before this class attains any ,power in the South because they are presently disenfranchised by local gerrymandering. The group is restive and ready, but the Republican .party has done nothing to cultivate their interest. On the present world situation, Dr. Mailey feels the European and Middle East crises affected the voter, and perhaps helped the president more than .Stevenson. In summary, Dr. Mailey stated that "The most significant thing is (continued on page 3) ED. CLUB TO MEET The Education Club is slated to meet Thursday at 11 in Sturdevant Hall . Special feature of this meeting will .b e a skit presented by members of the c 1 u b entitled "J>SEA in Action". All students interested in education are urged to attend. Members of Cue 'n' Curtain, the college drama club, have decided to present four one-act plays to students, parents, and friends nexe month. The dates will be the 3rd, 4th, and 5th of December, and the place - Chase Theater. All the plays will be student-directed, and, of course, Wilkes students will be cast in the productions. "Seeds of Suspicon", dramatized by John McGreevy, will be directed by Larry Amdur. The play has a present-day setting; the ,p lot centers around Harold Mummery's suspicion that someone wants to poison him with ars.enic. A little color is injected into the story in a character called Dimthorpe, a deliberately slow-spoken chemist, who analyzes Harold's cocoa. for poison. Marion Laines will be one of the featured players in this play. Carl Ernst, a junior, has been cho sen o direct "The Leprechaun", a one-act fantasy-comedy with d little philosophy thrown in for good measure. The plot revolves around Egan Malloy, who started life as a leprechaun, but persuaded the King of the "Little P eople" to grant him the guise of a mortal, so that he might win the love of Katy, a heart- Larry Cohen INTERESTS MEASURED BY COMMITTEE POLL The School Spirit Committee met Wednesday at 12 :3 0 in Warner Hall Lounge. Dave Vann presided at the meeting. The committ ee considered the questionnaire which the students were r equested to complete at Tuesday's assembly. Among the suggestions found on the questionnaire were: the establishment of fraternities, the scheduling of record concerts ( classical and jazz), having better programs at intermissions of dances and better bands for them, more formals and semiformals, with name bands; and better publicity for campus affairs. It was also suggested that the clubs on campus did not have adequate programs for their members. Many students were in favor of the bonfire pep rallies held this fall and wanted to see more of the same and similar events to be held in the future . These suggestions have not been completely tabulated as yet, but when the analysis is finished, the resu lt~ will be sent_ t? the. Student Council and Admm1stration and 1 (continued on page 6) Marion Laines LETTER TO STUDENTS FROM COLLEGE HEAD less and coquettish "real" young lady. The story is complicated by the well known fact ( ? ) that a mortal can never return the love of a leprechaun. "How to Propose", a hilarious comedy by Conrad Seiler, and "If Men Played Cards As Women Do", another short comedy, were also selected by members of the club and Mr. Groh to round out the ,program. "How to Propose" o.pens with a lecturer in front of the curtain, speaking on the subject in the title. The curtain parts; on stage, a,ctors illustrate the lecturer's remarks. Shirley Baroody (she is directing this play) guarantees that the play's ending will have the aud;ence rolling in the aisles. TO: All Students Your respon_se to the appeal of the United Fund was one of the most encouraging experiences that I have had during my twenty years at Wilkes. You demonstrated a sense of social responsibility that is much needed in every community. Leaders o.f the United Fund have already thanked me for your fine response. In passing on their thanks to you, I wish also to express my great gratitude for your fine work. You have established a tradition which, I hope will guide all of us in the future. Gratefully yours, EUGENE S. FARLEY President 1 · by Mary Louise Onufer The economists of Pickering will "grand right and left" to the gym tonight to sponsor their "Harvest Hop". This, their first dance of the year, will start at 9 and last until 12. The Premier Pioneers, a well known band of the Scranton area, will supply the music for the square and modern dancing with Texas X doing the calling. The Economics Club plans . to go all out to decorate the gym in a harvest atmosphere. It won't be surprising to see a few cornstalks, hay bundles, and perhaps, even a few leafless trees. In place of the usual entertainment at intermission, the club will play records. Larry Cohen, club president, appointed Peggy Salavatore general chairman. The other committees are: Publicity, Marie Verbalis, chairma n, Andrew Rushin, Charles Billings, Armand Caruso, and Caroline ,O'Rourke; refreshments; John Scandale, chairman, Peggy Salvatore, Len Mulcahy, Carl Jurish, Charles Grymko, Ron Tremayne, Larry •Cohen, Frank Kogut, and Bill James; tickets, Marlene Moduski, chairman, Irene Tomalis, and Judy Menegus. Jack Carling made the arrangements for the band, and Ron Tremayne invited Mr. and Mrs. Welton Farrar and Mrs. and Mrs. Albert Christopher to serve as chaperones. The club believes that this dance will be as successful as those of previous years. The dance begins a list of social activities for the Economics Club which include parties outings, and guest speakers. The admission price for the affair is 50. cents. WC Car Caravan Be1·ng Planned For Lasl Game Plans are being. formulated for a "Colonels ' CARavan" to next week's game against Moravian College at Bethlehem. The trip is under the auspices of the school spirit committee and the chairman of the affair is Dave Polley, Ashley Hall. Tentative plans call for departing from the campus at 11 A.M. next Saturdav. The trip will be don e at a leisurely ,pace, but plenty of time is allowed to make sure that the group will arrive at the game safely and on time. These caravans have always ,b een enjoyed J- · those who have traveled in them and the plans call to make this one of the best ever. Those interested in securing a ri de or having room for passengers are urged to get in touch with Dave Polley or any member of the Spirit Committee.

It showed that the people of America can.think for themselves. The very fact that the voters picked a Democrat Congress in the face of the overwhelming majority of the President's vote, indicates that there was a great deal of split-ticket voting. This splitting of the vote indicates that the people thought before voting. It confirms the faith of the founders of he nation, who believed that the people are capable of governing themselves. Democracy will live, when people think before they v:ot~ and vote as they think. We believe the voters did just that this week. The .C. C. U. N.

Forget-Me-Not, a song by Ann Faust and Norma J. Persiani, was introduced to the sorority. Miss Faust who wrote the music is a senio; at Wilkes majoring in Music Education, w hi 1 e Miss Persiani, who wrote the lyrics is an alumna. After singing the song several times, the Wilkes women unanimously voted to adopt the song as the official sorority song. Some of the projects scheduled for this semester are the All--College Tea on November 16, Card Party on November 28, Christmas Buffet on December 15 and a sports dance on January 22. Charity projects for the year were also outlined.

FARLEY LAUDS SC ON COLLEGE BUDGET The Wilkes ·College Student Council met Tuesday night, November 6 at Harding Hall. The following business was discussed. The extra-curri cular budget of the .Student Council was accepted by the Administrative Council with two exceptions : $25 was added t,o the Manuscript's budg et and $25 was deducted from the Student Council's fund. Dr. Farley praised the members of the council for the fine work they had done in preparing the budget. The Council discussed several places as possible sites for this year's Winter Carnival, but nothing definite was decided. The council also plans to have some sort of prepared entertainment at the Carnival. Mary Homan was appointed chairman of the affair a11d will accept any suggestions from the student body. Arrangements were made for the All-College Dance to be held during the Thanksgiving vacation. MAILEY ON ELECTIONS (continued from pagfl 1) that everybody won something. The verdict was for a Republican president and a Demoaatic Congress. The verdict was one for moderate policies and moderate politics. The solid vote of confidence went to Eisenhower and to the Democratic part y. This means that in 1956, the American voter is still a moderate man, and that the dominant influence in Congress will be m iddle-of-the-road. And therefor e, under these conditions, a divided Congress and Pl'esidency ought not necessarily to cause paralysis in government." Ginny Brehm is chairman of the dance. There will be no admission charged at this annual dance. Free refreshments will be served. Bill Smulovitz spoke on the Campus Party.

Bill Smulovitz, who has taken it upon himself to form this group, is chairman of the party set-up. Smulovitz, who admitted that the organization cannot be democratic in this early stage, has limited membership to only members of the fr e s h m a n and sophomore classes. However, one student attending the meeting reprimanded Smulovitz for discrimination in the party since the constitution of the organization, printed in last week's Beacon, says, "We, the students of Wilkes College . . ." Under the proposed system there would be a slight change in nomination -p rocedures for class and student ·Council elections, according to Smulo vitz. Nominations within the class would be completely eliminated and the nominees would be chosen at a convention within the party by its members. The idea is that another political party would form to nominate another slate of candidates. A party chairman, such as Smulovitz, will run the party. A vicechairman will be in charge of a steering comm ittee and a campaign committee. A secretary will also be chosen within the party to record minutes of the meetings. The elected officers will therefore be responsible to the party and the chairman. Smulovitz, when asked how the party· proposed to operate, stated that formation of such a party, is a slow .p rocess. He said, "For example, the incoming freshmen will be 'green'; we will get a hold of them as they come in, and tell them what we are." The pro-tern ch airman went on, "The reason for the parties will be to ke ep a check on the elected people. The op.position party can see and check if he doesn't keep his promises. His own party will help him keep his promises. "Most of the people who get nominated in the first place are those who are well-known, ,p opular, usually the Big Men on Campus. Many times a really-deserving person who can do a good job doesn't get elected because he isn't known enough. "What the party will do is to back such an unknown and help him get elected and then help him keep his promises." ·One class president at the meeting was contacted at the early stages of the planning of this organization. However, he refused to join the party since he was informed by the chairman pro-tern that the group would combat a secret organization on campus and because veterans were not wanted in the party.

The victory gave the Weckesser men the dormitory championship with a Ql-12 win over Butler Hall. Bill Duffy a nd Lou Davis paced the victors, while Morgan Davis had a 100-yard touchdown run for th e losers. In other last week play, the Snakes won by forfeit over Weckesser, Tro jans forfeit over the Snakes, and Shawneeites swomped Butler, 46-6, with Danny Lynn, Frank Mickolonis and Roger Lewis leading the attack. This year's all-star team a s picked by tl~e man in charge of the intramural le.ague, Bill Morris, is as follows: Dick Morris and Bob Rahl of th e Trojans, Danny Lynn and FTank Mickoloni s of t he Shawneeites, Joe Ludgate of the Snakes, Lou Davis and Bill Duff" of Weckesser, and Morgan Davis of Butler.

But most everybody knows these .unpleasant statistics. We have some other statistics which are not as well known about the men who have donned the Blue and Gold for the past seven Saturdays. The little whiz kid, Ronnie Rescigno leads in about every department there is except pass receiving and punting. Ron has carried the ball 112 times this year and has gained 492 yards. But he has lost 124 to leave him with a total of 368 net yards gained. Ron's understudy, Dick Wozniak, is right behind Ron in passing and total yardage. Woz has passed 27 times completing 8 one of those passes going for a touchdown. ' Rescigno has passed 45 times completing 10. His passing yardage is 160 yards, while Dick has gained L2,7 yards through the air lanes. On the receiving end of those aerials, Neil Dadurka is ahead with 12 passes caught for 220 yards and one touchdown. The other end, Jo e Reese, has caught seven passes for 99 yards. Punting leader is Tom Doty. Tom has kicked 14 times for an average of 37.3 yards per punt. Sam Puma has kicked ).2 times for a 30.8 average. The leading scorer is Rescigno with 5 TD's and one extra point. Al Manarski, Neil Dadurka and J im Walsh have one touchdown each while Dick Wozniak has kicked the only extra point the Colonels hav~ made. · Injuries · have hurt two men who could give Rescigno a fight for the passing and ground-gaining honors. * * * * Art Tamhur and Ray Yanchus have both missed the last three games.

The dancers will be featured in a recital, following which a free dance lesson will be given to all those who care to participate. The School Spirit Committee is concerned with the lack of interest shown by the students who attend the weekly dances at the Gym. Too many couples spend the entire evening sitting on the sidelines; too many "stag" men and wotnen stand around for the whole evening without taking advantage of the good dance bands we have performing for us. This is an excellent chance for Mr. Liva, director of the Wilkes these "wallflowers" to get out of Mixed Chorus, announces that re- their rut and get into the spirit of hearsals are underway for the the occasion.

Kruger, debate coach, feels that the. outlook for this year is fairly bright. He is pinning his hopes for the national title on two of the keenest debaters whom he has ever coached - John Bucholtz and Jesse Choper. When questioned about the opposition, Dr. Kruger said that the main threat is from our own district in the form of Princeton and St. JosJph's. The Wilkes ' team may run into some trouble from the University of Pennsylvania team which is coached by Nick Flannery, a former Wilkes debater •and student of Dr. Kruger. e I by William A.

The Kernel's Korn by Dick Myers College is a fountain of knowledge wherP. a ll come to drink. Several of our friend s claim that they never drink a drop, but it has been our observa tion that they never dro-p a drink. One of the Wilkes lads claims that aft er last weekend. he is going on the straight and narrow road. The only trouble with that road is that there is no place to park. Strange as it may seem, there are some people who are violently opposed to drinking. A member of a local women's t emperance g roup recently took a suite of rooms in a resort hotel When she saw a fifth of whiskey and a bottle of bitter s in one of the rooms, she stormed down to the desk and demanded that the offending articles be removed at once. The clerk told her that he would remove the whiskey, -but she'd have to take the bitters with the suite. Some folks go to a bar optimistically and go away misty optically. Then ther e's the cow that drank a bottle of purple ink and mooed indigo. With these sage comments, we will now imitate the man who slyly slip ped a counterfeit penny in the scal es a nd softly steal a weigh. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
