The drama club plans to entertain student s and friends with at least three - possibly four - one-acts. Diversity in the plays chosen will make for an evening of entertainment suitable for an y audience of adults. The performance dates will be December 3rd, 4th, and 5th. Larry Amdur, senior, has been chosen by Mr. Groh, the club's advisor, to direct the one play definitely decided upon thus far; it is "Seeds of Suspicion", dramatized by John McGreevy from Doroth y L. Sayers' book, "Suspicion". The play is marked by a contemporary setting, and the plot centers around Harold Mummery's suspicion that someone is trying to poison him. Be around, the first week in December, to see your fellow students portray this plot on the stage. Although members of Cue 'n' Curtain and Mr. Groh have not yet definitely decided upon the other two or three ,p lays to fill in a twohour performance, two comedies, "The Roman Kid" and "If Men Played Cards As Women Do":-were tentatively chosen. The final decisions will be made at the club's next business meeting on Monday. "The Roman Kid" is a comedy with romance, -b uilt around t he story of two Americans in Italy. The other comedy, "If Men Played Cards As Women Do", is, as the title obviously suggests, a parody on a women's card game with an IRC TO OBSERVE ELECTIONS The I RC will meet on Tuesday night to analyze election returns in the presidential election.

Students need not be members of Cue 'n' Curtain to gain a role in one of these plays. End of Playing Al Home Field For 3 Seniors by Cliff Kobland, S,ports Editor The high-flying Cadets from Pennsylvania Military College invade Kingston Stadium Saturday afternoon to engage the Wilkes Colonels in the Blue and Gold's final hom e game of the season.

The Red, White and Yellow-suited men from Chester, P a ., have two of the top ball players in the · East on their squad.

Where . . . When ... All club officers and all publicity chairmen of campus organizations are requested to leave notices at the Beacon office stating the time, the place, and the day of meetings scheduled for their specific · groups. The office is located on the third floor at 159 South Franklin Street. Notices of the meetings will be published in the paper's column "What . . . Where . . . When". The Beacon pro.posed to stimulate interest in campus _activities by publ~hing this column, but we cannot succeed without the cooperation of the college's organizations. For better unity of the campus groups and for better representation at all meetings, the Beacon urges all publicity chairmen to make use of its faciliEes. J.T.S. Letters to Editor Welcome We are quite happy to see that people on campus are writing letters to us, although we wish they could always b_e in a constructive vein. However, all letters and of course, their answers, will be printed if they are signed and not in conflict with the ethics of the Beacon. The views expressed in the letters column are not necessarily those of the paper, and as such we will endeavor to allow for wide latitude of thought. But all letters will be welcome and printed as space allows. If there is something that you wish to bring to the attention of the college, don't hesitate to write. It is requested that all letters be typed on one side of a sheet, double-spaced and neatly written. Brevity is 4esired, but we have nothing against longer letters. Letters may be placed in the Beacon mailbox, left at the office-or given to the editor. Let us hear from you - remember, constructive ideas are no good if you tell no one about them. Whal.~. Beacon.

Several strange observations have therefore caught my attention in the past few weeks. One was the completely "squirrelly" letter written by Sam Weckesser to the editor of the Beacon last week. We Squirrels, I thought, were the ones who were supposed to be nutty, but I guess we will s.tick to oranges and let the " nuts" go to the dogs . Anyhow, one night in my tree, just outside a window at Weckesser Hall, I saw a group of boys standing around Sam. Sam was diligent ly pecking away on ~he typewriter. I knew something was up because occasionally one of the fellows would laugh at something he thought was funny. By the way, Sam implied in last week's lett er, that he was a student from Weckesser, however, from the quality and style of the letter, I feel that he just might have been the ghost writer for the "Dean's Corner" in the Beacon last year. When I read the letter, I knew that the mental ability of the boys from Weckesser just wasn't up to the intelligence of the dog who wroLe the letter, and I said to mysel£, "Ah, ha! Just as I thought! Sam has been sticking his cold nose intc someone else's business again." So, for fear that the men and women of the campus might be above replying ,t o someone of Sam's canine heritage, I thought that I'd point out a few fallacies, or at least illogical conclusions that Sam made. Now, I think Sam should know that, when we play football for example, we play along clearly defined rules. This answers the first of manv false analogies he used. The signs W eckesser called a Homecoming display, seemed to be consistent with .the rules of another contest. Further, Sam is confusing good s,p ortsmanship with stoicism. I have occasionally seen Mr. Picton literally tear his hair, and members of ,t he team "speak" to the referees when the officials called bad rulings against us. If this were not so, I would consider our team rather weak-kneed and gutless. This I feel, is not one of our problems in football. Dignity is fine, as Sam put it, but so is indignation when it is called for. Yet, I certainlv don't think our team lacks sportsmanship. Something certainly smells, and Sam is right; it is not kennel-rations. -I t is his logic. Now, suppose a contest were given for the best poem. Supposing five poems were submitted, and the judges awarded first prize to someone who submitted a painting to the contest. Would you smile and say that the judges have "reason and rule and a formula behind them", then in a sort of gutless stoic resignation say, "We must not bring this mistake to anyone's attention for we might be accused of not being good sports"? You see, when one group of people says a thing is good and another group says it is bad, their values must be set upon different standards. -One doesn't judge the value of a car using same criteria as one would when one judges the quality of a tennis racket. This was the gripe. The judges and Weckesser Hall missed the boat. The rest of the campus maintained that the judges need clearly defined areas to which they will restrict themselves in their judging. How else will the clubs and dorms know what to do when constructing a display? If all that need be done is to throw together a few signs, then I assure you that you will see a definite lack of originality ( except perhaps in wording), lighting and creative imagination in future years' Homecoming dis- Dr. Hugo V. Mailey, head of the Wilkes College Political Science department, is sponsoring a contest based on predicting t he outcome of the November 6 National elections. The contest requires predicting the presidential electoral votes a nd the Senatorial seats from each state, as well as the 21st Senatorial and first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh legislative districts of .Pennsylvania. It will also be necessary to predict the presidential vote in this state within 10,000; the Clark-Duff vote within 1,000 and the FloodThomas results within 1,000-. This contest should promote some interest on campus in the election returns. Three winner., will be chosen and prizes will be books on election trends. The contest is open to the entire student body. Application blanks can be obtained from Dr. Mailey. CS BROCHURES AT LIBRARY The U. S. •Civil Service Commission has announced the publication of a new directory of government career positions. · The booklet is entitled "Federal Careers a Directory for College Students". Thirty-nine F e d e r a 1 agencies hel,ped compile the description of over eighty different types of Government jobs. All of these positions are ones for which many college students might qualify. The Directory is easy to read, illustrated, and emphasizes career opportunities, not just jobs. rrn addition to listing these openings, complete information is given concerning the federal government as an employer. All students are invited to read this publication, available in the College library and with the Placement Director. ,p lays. Also, since Sam has been around Weckesser Hall for well over a year he should know (in the words of several of the boys from that dorm, before the judging) "The r eason we .put up such a 'lousy' display this year, is -that we lost last yea r." So I'd like to know a student 's - definition of sportsmanship . Is demanding a definite crit erion by which to work the equivalent of poor sportsmanship, or is putting up a 'lousy' dis.p lay to compensate for one's disappointment in losing the year before sportsmanship? I, too, love Wilkes College, for about the same reasons that Sam does. But when he said that he wished that there was a little more Brooklyn spirit on campus, I raised an eyebrow. Not only do I hear the words "Wait 'till next year", (which I didn't hear and which wasn't evident from Weckesser last year), but I also hear an awful and mighty growl from the heart of Wilkes shouting in one great indignant voice "We Wuz - Robb ed! !!" Your for Future Sportsmanship, SONNY SQU:IRREL Dear Editor: The sheen has worn off our trophy. We walk by it and hardly notice it. For a time, we revelled in our glory. But, alas, this is college, and there are more important things to be accomplished than to gaze at yesterday's trophy. The Men of Ashley Hall realize that. Soon, we hope, the boys' dormitories will realize the same thing. We tire of this adolescent foolishness. We have work to do. Yours for better sportsmanship, The Men of W eckesser Hall P .S.-If you have a bare mantel piece upon which to display a rather small, tarnished and battered trophy, by all means come on over and take it. (,B ut it is an awful dust collector.) Campus Groups Will Organize Underclassmen Political conventions come to Wilkes College. It has been suggested by many Wilkes students that political parties be formed at the college to stimulate inter est in school activities, to give the little guy a say in campus affairs, and to get the coll ege out of its alleged "rut". The Campus Party, the instigator of the idea, has suggested that each party will hold conventions to nominate class officers from their particular group. These candidates will then be put in front of their party and one will be selected to represent their party in the class election. The other candidates will be selected in the sam e way. Thus, with two political parti es working on campus, student r epre sentation will be complete. The minority groups, often forgott en, will have a chance to organize into a strong organization and have their say in class and campus activities. Parties will be organized in only the freshman and sophomore classes. Criticism by the .party which is rtot in power will literally keep the party in power "on its toes". Instead of small groups talking, there will be a powerful group discussing ideas, selecting ideas and presenting the~ to the student body. Acting chairman of the Campus Party, Bill Smulowitz said in an interview Tuesday night: "Give it a chance - come around and listen and get a better idea of the party system before you reject it. Come and see me, and ask questions get out of the rut." Dean Ralston has been consulted about the parties and seems to like the idea. The set-up will allow the students to become acquainted with the workings of national politics. The -p arty system's goal is summed up in the preamble of the Campus Party: "We the students of Wilkes College, in order to form a centralized cam.pus ,p olitical organization, offer more representation to more people, have formed t he Campus Party. We are hereby dedicated to the betterment of our student body and our college." The first meeting will be held today, Friday, at 12:15 in Pickering 20-1. Students are invited to come to the meeting, listen, offer suggestions and opinions, but come before you decide.

And after it is over, how would you like to hear some people say that you didn't give it all you have ? This is the situation the m en who don the Blue and Gold have faced this season. They have been cl'itic ized from within the school itself and from outsiders. I say that if they think they can do better, why aren't th ey out there and playing instead of critici zing. They may say that it is your privilege to criticize. True, but let's think before we criticize. This team started out with 30 m en. They had one coach. Now the t eam has 24 men and they still have one coach . This does not build a winning team since t h e coach is still the most important link in a winning unit, and one coach can not handle the load of teaching football to 24 men. But Russ Picton tries, and he has don e a good job. And every Saturday these 24 m en suit up and go out to the gridiron to -p lay the best they know how. This is not an easy job, but t h ese m en pla y their hearts out for WHkes. They practice every afternoon when other students are takin g it easy or doing some studying. Then a t night, home they come, tired, battered and bruised. Then they start on their night work. And what do they get for this? Nothing! No gratitude, no recognition, n o glory, just criticism . Then what do the y play for? They play for the fu n of playing football and, maybe, deep in the backs of their minds, t hey ho.pe that we will say, "Nice game, boys. You tried!"

The total amount collected on campu s was $2,973.54. These figures indicated that the drive has been one of the most successful projects for chairty and welfare agencies ever held at Wilkes. Dr. Charles B. R eif, chairman of the college Biology Department, is largely responsible for the huge success of the charity drive. Through the combined efforts of Dr. Reif, Ed Kotula, Neil Dadurka, and Don Reynolds, both faculty members and students responded genero usly to the United Fund appeal. • Dr. Charles B.

The former greatly exceeded its goal while the latter had a seventy per cent representation. The junior class reported the best ,p articipation total since sixtyseven per cent of two hundred students contributed. The total a . mount collected in that class wos $134.50. The senior class was represented ;by a fifty-thre e per cent cont ribu·tion of •$61.00 from the one hundred :·fifteen m embers in the class. Like·wise, the sophomores had a fiftythree per cent representation of the two hundred eighty students in the class. The amount collected was $146.75. The freshmen reported a fifty per cent representation from its three hundred fifty-five members. ·The amount collected was $175 .00. The lettermen contributed $20.00 to the Fund and the FreshmanSophomore Dance earned $rn3 .29.

During the first week in December, Cue 'n' Curtain will present three one-act -p lays to the student and friends. All three plays were chosen by the members of the club, and they will be student-directed. It was decided at the October business meeting that a fres hman be elected to the executive council, thereby giving the freshmen mem -• hers equal voice in the decisions of the club officers. This will be the first attempt, since the beginning of the College drama club, to give the freshmen equal "say" on important issues. At last Wednesday's meeting, the heads of various committees for the year were chosen. The following people were appointed: head of the technical depa1:tment, Paul Abrams; ,p rop~rty and furniture, P.ll.t Yost; costuming, ~rlene Martin; house, LBev Dodson; and publicity, ~oy M~rgan an~ Bob Lutes.

These three games are crucial mes for the hooters if they are to aotch a winning season. The team record now stands at one victory, three losses, and one tie.

The scrappy Colonel crew unleashed an early first period drive that penetrated to the Lycoming 27 yard line, but lost the ball on downs. The situ~tion 'reaily reversed its~lf as on th~ flnit Lycoming play, halfback Dick Grier broke free and riiceq the )Vilke~ 20-yard stripe. Six: chops ~t the Colonel line produced the Warriors' first score. On the next series of Wilkes plays, halfback Wayne Bohn intercepted a Rescigno pass and raced 40 yards to score. Another pass ipterception early in the second period paved the way for the third Lycoming tally, which was scored by 225-pound sophomore fu llback John Joe. Wilkes fought back gamely in the second half to try to close the big twenty-point gap, and Picton's charges battled to chalk up a total of 12 first downs as compared to their rival's 13. ,B ut in that all to Bob Masonis They sa y you just can't keep a good man down, and Bob Masonis really proved this adage as he returend to the lineup after an absence of three games to turn in a sparkling performan~e against Lycoming College and cop this week's award as "Athlete of the Week".

Mr. Flood was asked to comment on the statem ent made by Harry Truman condemning Adlai Stevenson as unfit for the presidency. He replied, "It is not true - period." When asked his opinion on the administration's handling of the Suez crisis, Mr. Thomas replied that .Secretary of State Dulles had shown an error in judgement.

The grants will be given to those students majoring in scientific courses with provisions in the bill requiring them to teach for a period of three years. On the subj ect of Social Security, both men were in agreement. However, Thomas stated that he felt a long-range approach to the problem is necessary. Flood was of the opinion that immediate action sho uld be taken. A major point of disagreement , was disclosed when both men were questioned about their feelings on the matter of H-Bomb tests. Flood appro ved .Stevenson's request for immediate cessation of the experiments, but is in favor of increased emphasis on tactical nuclear weapons. Mr. Thomas said that the prospect of loss of Ame rican lives would be a n exorbitant price to pay for the -p olitical a ppeal such a suggestion holds. i....a c.: h made frequent use of every opportunity to praise his party's r ep resentatives, but later in the program Flood condemned the Dixiecrats, while Thomas refused to defend Senators McCarthy, J enner and Welk er.

All the events came off well and enthusiasm was high on all sides. We are sure that everybody wh9 entered into the spirit of the occasion had a good time. And that is what Homecoming is for. The Beacon especially wishes to thank alumna Anita Janerick for her wonderful co-operation and assistance in handling the arrangements for the Queen. And to all the alumni, the alumni office, the public relations office, and the students who worked so hard, deepest thanks. UNITED FUND HAS KICKOFF IN ASSEMBLY; CAMPAIGN DEADLINE ANNOUNCED AS OCT. 26 Letters to the Editor . .. U1mecessary Evi1s Contest Entries Digest and to this department, also. We have been trying to plug the contest on this campus, for its successful conclusion means that more will be forthcoming. More contests mean more advertising for the Beacon, and hence, a bigger and better newspaper for you, the reader. Just pick up a copy of the Beacon of October 5, two weeks ago, and tum to page six. On it you will find an entry blank. The simple rules are printed on the page. Decide which of the 47 articles in the Octol:5er Reader's Digest you think will appeal the most to the most readers and put the number of the articles on the coupon; then drop the entry into the nearest mailbox. (Here would be a fine spot to plug the sale in the bookstore, if we had the magazine.) For a 2-cent card and a little reading and thought. you may be the winner of $5000 for yourself and a similar amount for the college's scholarship fund. Do it today! All entries must be in the mail by midnight of next Thursday, so this is the last time we can call it to your attention. STUDENT AD CONTEST wide and ten inches deep. The first of these monthly winners will be printed in the November 9 issue of the Beacon. All entries must be submitted to Mr. Stein not later than the 1st of November. That's all there is to it. Remember that all entries must contain the name and major of the contestant. The winner's name will appear with the advertisement. GRAHAM TO SPEAK Tuesday's assembly will be a red letter assembly. Dr. Frank P. Graham, special mediator for the U.N ., will speak on behalf of the Woodrow Wilson Centennial. His speech will be entitled "Freedom for Man - A World Safe for Mankind". Graham is an internationally known educator and world diplomat, and, is in the minds of many, one of our greatest living Americans. All faculty and students are urged to avail themsel ves of the opportunity to attend this assembly. The United Fund campaign was officially op ened in last Tuesday's assembly by Don Reyn old s, Student Council president a nd co-chairman of the campus drive. Reynolds ann ounced the goal at Wilkes a s being $2,000 - $1,000 each for students a nd facult y and urged the students to "Cut do wn and g ive!" The drive will las t un ti l October 26 . The United Fund is a once-a year campaign designed to eliminate the nuisance of many appeals. It will be the only drive held on campus. The U.F., which was initiated in 1949, is the forward look in charity dri ves , and embraces some 59 different agencies. Dr. Charles A. Reif is chairman of the school drive. Assisting him will be the following student cochairmen: Don Reynolds, Ed Kotula, and Neil Dadurka. The student campaign is being conducted on a class basis, thus insuring personal contact. Each student is asked to give 100 pennies, which as Mr. Reynolds pointed out, is equivalent to only 10 coffees or cokes. . . . and you needn't be cokes'd. \Veckesser Display Wins Alumni Trophy A timely display by the m en of the "Jewel of Jewel s", Weckesser Hall, copped first prize in this y e a r ' s Homecoming decoratio ns contest. Done along a political line, the decorations were right in keeping with the forth coming election s, and caught the judges' fan cy . Members of the judging _c:ommit-tee had difficulty deciding; t he win ner, however, as competit ion was keen. All the groups did their best, and the displays showed the result of hard work and ingenious planning. The Weckesser display preser1ted a "platform" which offered a welcome to the '56 Alumni, mo re s•pi-rit for Wilkes, and defeat for U rsinus. They cast eighteen votes for Colonel Wilkes, and also presented campaign signs of the Democrat and Republican parties (the preceding was an unpaid political plug.) Ashley and Butler Halls, two other men's dorms, recei ved honorable mention for their efforts, which both featured old cars. Butler Hall had its car on the porch roof , while Ashley's also was used at the game. In the Warner Hall display, the Wilkes Colonel threatened the Ursinus Bear with a shotgun.

Nicholas and Washco were nam ed top gridders of the decade by their teammates in a recent poll conducted by the Wilkes Public R elations Office. Nicholas first entered Wilkes in. 19,19 and became an immediate grid sensation. "Nick" scored twentyfour touchdowns running out of his single-wing tailback slot. Washco, who played on the first Wilkes football team, was a four year letterman and the greatest tackle ever to don the Blue and Gold. Presentation of t he awards was made by George Ralston, their former grid mentor and now Director of Athletics . Although the Colonels w e r e 'g-ed in both contests, Tony's brilant defensive work stood out aoove all else. He was constantly blocking kicks, stealing the ball, and breaking up enemy plays. "'<'rom his tailback position, Bianco was also a s,p ark on offense, as he set up numerous plays for the Wilkes line. "Watash", as some of the fellows call him, hails from New Canaan, Connecticut, where he attended New Canaan High School. While in high school, he won varsity letters in football, baseball, and basketball. Tony first entered Wilkes in 1952.

It looked as though the Wilkes hooters were well on their way to posting the greatest victory in the history of Wilkes soccer when they jumped to a quick 2-0 lead over Temple Tuesday by virtue of goals scored by Timmy Jenkins and Carl Ha.vim within the first five minutes of play.

Miss Carl, who will reign over all of the homecoming festivities culminating with the informal dance at Irem Temple Country Club, was chosen by the BEACON from 14 other candidates for her poise, beauty, and charm.

IDC Homecoming Party At College Cafeteria Will Honor Royal Trio Princess Debbie Princess Debbie is the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. George Deisher· of Kingston. The twenty-year old member of the royal trio is a member of the junior class at the college, majoring in elementary education. by Cliff Brothers The second annual inter-dormitory-sponsored Homecoming Party will be held in the cafeteria after the football game tomorrow. The party will begin immediately after the game and continue until sixthirty. Jim Moser, president of the council, announced that the new Homecoming queen will be there to greet the students, alumni and faculty. The I.DC initiated the Homecoming Party in the cafeteria last year, and this year the affair is considered one of the major campus events. A large attendance is expected and preparations are completed to accommodate all who attend. The committee in charge of the affair is headed by Earl Bahl of Warner Hall, a sophomore; Judy Wenger, a freshman from McClintock Hall; and Bill Duffy, a senior from Weckesser Hall; are the other two members of the committee. The upstairs section of the cafeteria which will be decorated is reserved for the occasion. In addition, the IDC is supplying free cokes, pretzels and potato chips for refreshments. Space and records will be ·prepared for dancing, and card tables will be set aside for bridge and ·pinochle fans. The IDC wants to emphasiz.e the point that all students, faculty and alumni are cordially invited and encouraged to attend. She is a lovely blue-eyed, honey blond, but unfortunately for the male population at Wilkes, she is already engaged to Howard Allen who will be her escort for most of the Homecoming activities. A graduate of Homestead High School in Pittsburgh, our ,princess will long be remembered there for her interest in the chorus, dramatics and the French Club. Debbie is also an accomplished pianist. .Being a member of the National Honor Society in high school, proves that beauty can be accompanied by brains. Princess Debbie was recipient of two women's club scholarships to further her education. Queen Marilyn Princess Carolyn Princess Carolyn is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry F. Goeringer, Sr., of East Dallas. ,She is a junior at the college and her major is business education. The twenty-one-year old brownhaired, blue-eyed beauty is a dormitory student at Sterling Hall where she has been elected to serve as social chairman of the women's dorm. ,B eing a transfer student does not hinder Princess Carolyn's activities at Wilkes. Proof of the fact is that she is a member of the :I nterDormitory Council, the junior class council, Theta Delta Rho, and Cue 'n' Curtain.

The .Student Council met Tuesday night in Harding Hall to consider the budgets received frorn campus organizations.

Due to a decrease in funds allotted for student activities, the Council will be forced to seek more funds from the Administration. The committee has appealed the unfavorable activities fund allotment and was scheduled to meet with Dr. Farley some time this week. The coronation of the queen will take place at the big bonfire-pep rally slated for tonight at Baldwin Field. Dr. Farley, assisted by Gloria Dran, the first homecoming queen, will officially crown the lovely coed.

The queen will be guest of honor at the Alumni Warm-up Party at O'Connell's Kingston House Friday evening, and, later that night, will make an official appearance at the Big Band Blast to be held in the gym.

She will begin her royal duties at 11 by pre~iding over the soccer game at Kirby Park, and will also appear at the Wilkes-Ursinus football game in Kingston. At that time, . she will be escorted by three members of the Marine Reserve detachment from Wyoming. Following the game, the busy queen will attend the Inter-Dormitory Council party in the Cafeteria.

Gene Stickler, freshman, has the dist inction of being a r eal "Kentucky Colonel", since he hails from the Commonwealth of Kentucky and now is the official "Wilkes Colonel". Gene began his duties last week in the Ithaca game and did a fine job. He has lots of pep and adds color and life to the cheering section. His big smile and the tip of his hat are quickly becoming tradition on t he sidelines . The •Colonel f r o m Kentucky works well with the cheerleaders, since he was a cheerleader himself in his high school days, down at Fern Creek High, Louisville. He is majoring in philosophy and religion here in the land of the Colonels, while living with friends of his family in the city. Plans are being made to purchase a new outfit for the Colonel, one with more life and color. Also, it will be more -p ermanent. Head cheerleader Phyllis Walsh is quite happy about the new addition to the sidelines crew and hopes that it does a lot to add spirit to the Wilkes cheering section. HAZING RETAINED Last Friday night, in the lobby of the gym, .the Student Council voted 6-4 in favor of the Sophomores retaining F r o s h hazing. However, the ,Student Council will help supervise the proceedings. Members of the Tribunal were present along with Reginald Mattioli, president of the Sophomore Class. The necessity of hazing was discussed and it was emphasized that hazing is being backed by the Lettermen's Club and the veterans on the campus. Some of the questions the Student Council asked Mattioli were as follows: "Are the Sophomore Class and the upperclassmen behind you in the Frosh hazing?" "Do you think you can run ha,zing better than you have been doing?" Mattioli assured the Council that the Sophomore Class would make the remaining days of hazing the best ever. How about it gang?

Mike, in his second year with the Colonels, was the leader of a hardcharging line which opened up holes offensively and dropped the Ithaca backs in their own backfield defensively. The 6-foot, !WO-pound ex-serviceman tackled so hard that he twice caused the Ithaca backs to fumble, one of which he himself recovered. Big number 74 spent most of the evening in the Ithaca backfield stopping the up-staters from New York before they could get started. Dydo, also a star baseball ,performer, is the regular first sacker on the diamond nine. Nick Giordano, the shiftiest ballhandler and probably the best shot on the soccer team, broke into the starting lineup last year as a freshman and ended the season tied for top scoring honors although he did not register a goal until midway during the campaign. This year Nick is starting out on the right foot. He scored one goal on a terrific head shot and picked up an assist for the other goal scored. ,1 · . • (j/tf:1 vrf(Jlflf!/l, Cite (/lteol/enng tdfllf 11 EA " o· ¥:S- a r-e- · :. ffl·.

The first homecoming took place back in November, 1948, the year after the South River Street institution's football team was first called the Wilkes Colonels. This initial homecoming welcomed back graduates of both Bucknell University Junior College and of Wilkes College, which was in its second year was a four-year school. The opponent for this first homecoming game was a small college located elsewhere in this valley. Although this was not the first meeting between the two schools, it was the start of a homecoming grid classic between King's and Wilkes that lasted for half a decade. Wilkes College defeated the Kingsmen in the first homecoming game by a score of 26-0. Homecoming in 1949 and in '50 saw Ralston's Raiders claim two more victories, 47-7 and 14-12. But in '51 and ·•52, the King's gridders turned the tables and took the last two games ,p layed between the two teams. BE'CAUSE ONtY VICEROY In homecoming games in following years, the Blue and Gold gridders were defeated by Hofstra and Moravian. Last season the Wilkes · eleven battled to a scoreless tie with Bridgeport before the onlooking alumni. Twice As Many Filters So this means that in eight homecoming contests, the Colonels have recorded but three victories. And all three have been at the expense of King's College. We were still struggling with our grade school geography during the Wilkes-King's series and did not focus our eyes on either of the two colleges. But from what we understand from reading copies of old newspapers; from viewing photographs of torchlight ,p arades past the King's ,College Main Building, and of pep rallies held right on Public Square; and from seeing the "Beat King's" sign still scrawled in white on the red brick King's Science Building, we are convinced that it was a great local football rivalry. But the past is a bucket of ashes, we guess. ROOTERS COME HOME FOR HOMECOMING Tomorrow is really a big day for the soccer team. When they take the field against Rider College, it will mark the first time since 1949 that the Blue and Gold hooters will have been home for Homecoming.

But the field has no accomodations for spectators other than they stand around on the sidelines. Usually this makes little or no difference as the soccer tea.in very rarely gets the student support that it deserves. But with a large number of grads in town who would like to see the hooters in action, we would like to see the soccer game on Homecoming scheduled as part of a big doubleheader played in the football stadium right before the gridders take the field. Maybe then the hooters, as well as the gridders, can pick up a few more supporters.

The scor e was 2-0. Although the team he took to New York was r elatively inexperienced, •Coach John Reese returned home proud of the showing his boys made. Goalie Bob Sokol, playing in his first soccer game, held the Hofstra kickers scoreless. Ed Masonis, A hmad Kazimi and Tony Bianco played outstanding games at halfback; and Dave ·Polley turned in a noteworthy performance at fullback. The Colonel goals were chalked up by hustling Nick Giordano and by freshman Carl Havira. Mr. Reese felt that all in all, the team turned in a good solid gam e and played well together. Of course, there were the usual first game mistakes, but the coach expects to have them corrected before the Homecoming game with Rider tomorrow.

GYMNASIUM• BEACON, Committee - - - - - ' ~~=:a:~~!::e ::~ t::c!l:~:s; ANDERSON TO PLAY 00 by Mary Louise Onufer The biggest bonfire - pep rally of the year will be on the eve of the Homecoming game with Ursinus. The Beacon, headed by Torn Myers, and the school spirit committee under Dave Vann, have been working to get full co-operation of all the students while Jack Curtis and Russ Picton have b.e en doing the same with the Alumni. So, all in all, this should be the best remembered event of the football season. The event will begin at 6 :30, when the student body will assemble on Chase Lawn to watch the Freshmen carry Jud to his crema tion at the bonfire at Baldwin field. There, Ron Rescigno, football captain, will light the bonfire and begin the pep rally. The football and soccer teams will be ,p resented, and their captains and coaches will speak. It is also believed that Al Nicholas and Gerard Washco, WC back and lineman of the decade, respectively, will be there. The festivities will be highlighted by the presentation of the third annual homecoming queen and her princesses. The queen ,will be escorted to h er throne by Colonel Wilkes and the princesses by Ahmad Kaz imi and Bill Farish. Perhaps we should mention h ere that anyone who has not nominated a homecoming queen candidate and wishes to do so, please drop a letter to the Beacon editor. After all, this is your queen. Finally, the Freshmen will cremate poor "Jud", who, after all he's been through dese rves some pal'ticipation in th ese royal festiviti es. The bonfire will be ended by a parade to the Wilkes gym . Gil Gregory, parade ch airman, anno unced this s.c hedule. The queen and princesses will lead the parade wit h Dr. Farley and the Deans. The student body wi ll follow on foot and then the football and soccer t eams and their coaches in cars. Osterhout WiHExhibit titerature a,n:d Photos On Sesquicen.bnnial The Osterhout Li brary, Wilkes' cultural neighbor in the first block of South Franklin Street, holds its exhibition of Sesqui-centennial pictures and photos this weekend. Pictures, maps and books tell the story of Wilkes-1Barre and its development from the sleepy agricultural town it was 15 years ago to the industrial city it is today. ·Coal mining, transportation, industry, buildings, disasters and entertainment are all features of this graphic glimpse of local history, past and present. The main sources of the pictures are the Historical Society, Ace Hoffman Studios, the Wilkes-Barre Transit ·Corporation, Ralph DeWitt and Gilbert McC!intock, as well as other residents of the Valley. The hours are 3 to 5 P.M. and 7 to 9 P.M. today and 10 A.M. to 4 P.M. on Saturday and Sunday at the Osterhout Library Annex. 8 Four Big Changes City Police Set .Ban Don Reynolds_, president of the Student Council, announced on Tuesday that several new procedures for student activities will be instituted on the campus. In a meeting held at Harding Lounge, the council decided that in the future, all requests for organizational funds will follow a standard pattern. Forms will be available from Treasurer Larry Amdur. Requests must be made in person. United Fund co-chairmen Neil Dadurka and Ed Kotula and Don On Overt1·me Parking During the •past months the City officials have tried to accomodate Wilkes ·College students by extending many courtesies and by offering every possible consideration. Unfortunately, a few students have taken advantage of the desire of the <City officials to cooperate and have abused the courtesies that have been extended. In consequence, it is now necessary for the police to enforce the law - to the letter. Starting Monday, October 8, cars parked on South Ri ver Street after 4 P.M. will be towed away - costs $5.00, plus $2.50 for the ticket; and cars in prohibited areas or parked beyond the time allowance will .be tagged and a $2.50 fine will be collected. City and Police officials regret that this action is necessary, but they cannot keep traffic moving or serve the other citizens of the city without enforcing the traffic laws. They w ill appreciate your cooperation for they derive no pleasure from fining any student.

Those who attended last year's 'Fall Ball' remeber the very amusing skit ,presented by some of the members of the club in which a take-off from an "actual" operation was done. Tonight's skit is another original one which should also prove to be very enjoyable. George Weaver and Tom Dreisbach were appointed by President Leslie P. Weiner as gen eral cochairm en of the dance.

The club's calendar has made provisions for members of the faculty and members of the community to speak to the biologists at specified times during the year on various phases o:f biology. Scheduled also in the curriculum are movies, re search projects, and outings. NOTICE TO ALL STUDENTS Since the first meeting of the Tribunal, I have received conflicting comments from students regarding the character of hazing and its effect upon the entire student body. Several persons have informed me that the hazing has been handled by the ,proper committees and by the students in a constructive fashion. Others inform me that certain individuals have formed "kangaroo courts" and are y_iolating hazing policies established by the Student Council. These students sho uld recognize that in so doing they are placing themselves in op pcsition to the representatives of th e student body and to the Administration of the College. I have been happy to hear, however, that the Stud ent Council is trying to correct thes e abuses and hope that the stud ent body will support their elected representatives in checking abuses of the plans developed by their own responsible representatives. Signed, Eugene S. Farley President �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 2 EDITORIALS - Homecoming Pep Rally The School Spirit Committee has lined up an excellent program for the bonfire rally to be held the night before the Homecoming game. The Queen and the Princesses will be crowned. Both the soccer and football squads will be present. We may even see Al Nicholas and Gerard Wash co in attendance. Plans are being worked out for a snake dance (perhaps by torchlight) over to the rally by the frosh. As you can see, quite a bit of planning and work have been put into this . by the persons involved. There are a few things they would like to see YOU do. l. Leave your cars on campus. Or if you don't want to walk over and watch the snake dance or even participate in it, stay out of the homeward parade with your car. 2. Attend the rally. 3. Cheer at the rally. Everything else has been done for you. You. need only to cheer the teams on. Let's have some fine co-operation on this and make this Homecoming one that will be long remembered.

Liva is pleased with the many new voices added to the chorus this year, the Music Department is larger than ever with more than its share of the new freshman class.

WC Male Chorus to Use St. Stephen's Church For Evening Rehearsal by Richard J. Myers Same Lowe, director of the Male Chorus, announced on Tuesday that the usual three hours of reharsal each week will be augmented by an additional session. The tentative time will ,be every Monday evening at St. Stephen's Church. Lowe said that this year the Chorus, with nearly forty men, is too large to be able to have satisfactory rehearsals in the three onehour lunch ,p eriods through the school week. Several of the members have noon classes on various days. In order to have a fuller representation and more thorough coverage of the material to be used this year, the evening meetings are being scheduled. Lowe also announced that the members are planning to hold their Annual Fall Festival sometime in the near future. No definite plans have been made as yet, but the members are urged to submit any suggestions concerning the type of affair they would like tp have. Because this is one of the group's two major social events of the year, the men are asked to give their full support to make the party a successful one. Several new numbers have been added to supplement such old favorites as the Fred Waring arrangements of "Battle Hymn of the Republic'' and "Dry Bones", traditional college songs and selections from musical comedies.

Freshman Revolt Slopped al Slarl; Funeral Monday All of Wilkes College was in mourning on Monday, for "Jud" was laid to rest. Many curious upper-classmen as well as the lowly freshmen paid homage to the guest of honor, "Jud". For those who don't know, "Jud" is a dummy which was hung in effigy by the freshman class, representing a sophomore tribunal member. This was the froshs' last sign of active resistance to the haz-· ing program. Since then they have accepted the dictates of the upper-classmen and have entered intq the fun and enjoyment of the hazing program. But back to the funeral. Jud laid in state on Chase Lawn from 10 until noon. His casket, although not pretentious, was the hearty work of two upperclassmen, Carroll Davenport and Warren Glass. At noon the services for the dummy began. All freshmen were obliged to visit the casket and "button" before the "deceased". Then under the direction of Johnny Saba and other tribunal members the freshmen escorted the casket of "Jud" on a last trip around the campus . and back to Chase Hall, and so went "Jud" to rest. This was the first attempt of the sophs to regain their control after the Student Council had pre-empted last Thursday's Tribunal meeting to bring the freshmen under control. The meeting was well attended by both upperclassmen and freshmen. Don Reynolds stated that this hazing program can be a success only if all .the student .body participate. All upperclassmen are asked to co-operate with the tribunal from now until the conclusion of the hazing period. "The hazing program is not a time to settle ,p ersonal grudges," commented Reynolds. So let's keep the rest of the hazing period free from grudge or vengeance punishment. · Freshmen should be only punished for real offenses not imaginary ones. Reynolds stated that tribunal meetings will be held every Thursday in the Gym at 11 o'clock. All freshmen are obliged to attend and an attendance check will be made. So from now on let's make the hazing period a success. To do this it is necessary for ,b oth upperclassmen and freshmen to lend whole-hearted support to Johnny Saba and his sophomore tribunal members. NEED MONEY?

The team will stay at Hofstra overnight and then will face .their hosts the followi1:1g morning at 11 o'clock on the soccer field. - Coa~h John Reese has been pleased with the way the squad is shaping up. The line has looked sharp and is starting to play as a unit, and · the backfield has shown plenty of spirit and fight. Reese's netmen are anxious to cop Saturday's tilt as the two following games are with Rider, a t eam which always gives Wilkes a tough time, and big-time Temple, which perennially fields a powerhouse. Soccer is a big s,p ort out Long Island way, and Hofstra always comes up with a strong squad. Last year's meeting between the two schools saw_ Wilkes notch a 3-2 victory in ii tight tussle._ Playing in their second-straight Kiwanis-sponsored game, against another team of Flying Dutchmen, this time from Lebanon Valley, the Co 1 o n e 1 s suffered their secondstraight setback, this .time by a score of 3·9-6, at Lebanon last Saturday night. Completely fooled by the faking and passing of Valley's capable quarterback, Dom Garda, the Blue and Gold was never in the ballgame. Garda threw two quick TD passes late in the first quarter and early in the second. Then, the Dutchmen tallied once -before intermission and led at the half, 20-0. Leading 26-0 by virtue of another Valley score, the Colonels broke into the scoring column in Rescigno i;idelined by a bad leg, the tailhack chores were shared by Ray Yanchus and Dick Wozniak. Wozniak was the man who sparked the Colonel touchdown drive that started on the Blue and Gold 18 and ended in the Valley end zone with "Woz" tossing to end Neil Dadurka for the score. But ·t he Colonels were too far behind to pose any serious threat to Lebanon. The game was the sixth annual Bologna Bowl_ a nd th e fir st bo~l game that Wilkes has ever part1cipated in. This was also the first win in six tries in the Bologna Bowl for the Flying Dutchmen. In a post-game ceremony, Wozniak received the outstanding player award for Wilkes and Dom Garda won a like award for Lebanon. AND VARIETY SHOP Books - Supplies • Novelties Subscriptions Hours:· 9°12 - Administration Fiddles, Fans Burn Anyone who attended the Bologna Bowl last Saturday night at Lebanon, saw dramatic proof of what we contended in this space last week. A strong Lebanon Valley College squad romped over our Colonels, 39-6. But the Lebanon club isn't that strong. _ However, the line of the Colonels showed up very poorly. Playing straight football, the Dutchmen went nowhere. But on any play they ran that involved more than elementary play, the Wilkesmen were easily deceived. On several screen passes, the offensive set up the Colonels in a way that would have been beautiful to watch, if you were not a Wilkes fan. The line looked mostly good on defense, although they pulled a few rocks. The ·pass defense and the backfield ,defensively were poor. Coach Russ Picton has done a fine job in the time he has had available. He deserves a lot of credit for the unit he has formed. But he has not enough time to cover all the subtleties of line play, work with his backs, run scrimmages, and so forth ad infinitum, every day.

An ankle injury which kept speedster Ronnie Rescigno out of action in the disastrous s econd half against Hofstra forced the Blue and Gold's biggest scoring threat to sit out the entire Lebanon Valley contest.

DICK WOZNIAK 'ATHLETE OF WEEK' FOR BOLOGNA BOWL PERFORMANCE COSTLY MISTAKES. It was costly mistakes that cost the the Colonels the Bologna Bowl loss . And these mistakes were defensive errors made by the line-backers and by the backfield. The forward wall was rough. All its members played a steady, hard Wins Kiwanis Trophy As Leading Colonel In Press-Coach Ballot game. Four of the six touchdowns scored against the Colonels came on pass plays or as a result of pass plays. Except for Sam Puma, who did a neat job of backing up the line, the defense past the line of scrimmage was weak. It was here that we saw several costly mistakes in pass defense made. LACK OF TALENT. Lack of talent, we feel, is only 4 per cent of the footballers' trouble. We sincerely believe that the team is high in potential. Of course, Picton could always use n ew faces on his squad to give some deµth to the team. LACK OF A LINE COACH. The Colonel line has looked good in the two games ,p layed to date; but with a line coach drilling the forward wall, perhaps Picton could turn most of his time into correcting the defense weaknesses in the backfield. George Rlaston has given some of his free time to drill the line; Al Nicholas spent his week-long vacation doing the same; and in between time, co-captain Bill Farish has been putting the line through its paces. A full-time line coach, whom the players deserve, certainly would not hurt the team or the school's name as a non-football factory. LACK OF HUSTLE. We think that the team's hustle has been great. We feel that hustle and spirit are all-important as some games can almost be won on spirit alone. We saw the team stop for a breather only once - after Hofstra's first two quickies. Someone remarked to me that the team isn't giving me very much praise-worthy material to say. To paraphrase John Paul Jones's famous remark, "I have just begun to write." I hope. JUST SLIPPING AROUND THE EDGES . No use kicking . . . Jim Stocker, running at outside right on the soccer team, has a wicked foot; but he often fails to keep his toe down when kicking for the goal. Consequently, he sometimes lofts the -b all over the nets instead of into them. At a recent scrimmage, Stocker changed his tactics as he used his usually weak head - no insult intended, Jim - to score a neat goal and to bounce some neat passes to his mates. After the scrimmage, Stocker jokingly announced that in future games he was going to head everything that came his way even if it was rolling on the ground. Quick like a bunny ... With the ball one yard away from a touchdown, the football team was so anxious to score against Lebanon Valley that on their fourth down, the Colonels did not_calmly file from their huddle in their snaky pattern. They just ran up to the line of scrimmage, took their places, and banged over. That's our Zack ... Zack Zachman, the hooters' student manager, was heard to say the following after soccer practice had ended for the day : "I guess I'll take two laps 'cuz I'm goin' to a farmer dance tonight, and I don't want to get tired too fast." SPORTS EDITORIAL (continued from page 4) easily resent it. We have enough difficulties without adding dissention to the woes of coach Russ Picton. · So, the only alternative we can see is to find a lirie coach.

For his sparkling efforts against Lebanon Valley in the Bologna Bowl, Dick not only r eceived our acclaim, but he also was presented with a trophy from the spon sors of the game for being the outstanding player on th e field for Wilkes College. Dick, called on to fill the vacancy caused by Ronni e Rescigno's leg injury, did a more than adequate job. Besides taking over as field general, Wozniak led the Colonels' attack with 91 yards in 23 carries. After Dick had spear-headed an 85-yard drive withnis running, he flipped a short pass to end Neil Dadurka for the lone Wilkes touchdown . Coach Picton, although disappointed in the final outcome of the game, was pleased with .the job Wozniak turned in. Russ feel s that Dick has the potential to develop into one of the finest tailbac:ks we've ever had. The brightest aspect of all is that Dick, who is a junior, did such a fine job even though the position of tailback is comparatively new to him. He ordinarily works out of the halfback's spot. Dick, w hile attending Nanticoke Hi.g h School, lettered in baseball as well as football. Here at Wilkes, h e is majoring in Commerce and Finance. TUXEDOS TO RENT Special Price To Studenta 198 SO.

Gawlas WC Photographer BONFmE PEP RALLY Dr. Kruger's Treatise SPARKED BY COLONEL On Extempore Contest In 2 Speech Journals by Janice Schuster More than three hundred students honored the college football t eam last Thursday n ight at one of the finest activities held at Wilkes in many years. School spirit was at a peak as the crowd displayed eager enthusiasm in cheering loudly to spur the team on to meet Hofstra, the first opponent. A caravan gathered at Gies Hall and paraded to the site of the bonfire with a Wilkes Colonel, portrayby Larry Groninger, in the lead. The noisy group could be heard for several blocks as horns blared and a pick-up band played peppy school songs. Sirens screamed as Kingston firemen joined the gala affair to insure the safety of the pep rally. The students gathered in a large circle around the blazing fire and the ·p e r k y cheerleaders. After much vigorous cheering, Dean of Men George Ralston s·p arked the bonfire crowd as he did an original Indian dance. Ralston, attired in a brightly colored Indian blanket, declared, "This is the finest pep session ah've evah seen here at Wilkes!" Coach Russ Picton and his scrappy football team were introduced to the noisy group by the team cocaptains, Ron Rescigno and Bill Farish. Afterwards, Pat Kennedy and Larry Gr oninger Jed the cheerleaders and the crowd in individual t eam cheers. By the light of the last f ew sparks of the fire , T ed Jones direc t ed everyone in the singing of the Alma Mater. Then Dave Vann, chair man of the rally, instructed the frosh to march back to the campus behind the upperclassmen, who headed the par ade in sporty, new (a nd old) convertibles. Back on campus, the spir ited crowd a ssembled in front of Gies Hall wher e, after a few final cheers, Dan Gawlas, official Wilkes and Beacon photographer, is a vailable on campus in the P.R.O. photo lab. Dan is charged with photographing all s•por t s and social events at the College. He also maintains a private studio in Swoye rville. tho pep se5:;;ic;in rnlminat(ld, Dr. Arthur N. Kruger, associate professor of English at Wilkes, has recently been notified that one of his latest articles, "The Extempore Speaking 'C ontest" , is currently appearing in the September issue of two professional journals, The Speech Teacher and The Register of American Forensic Association. Another composition, "The Debate Judge as a ,Critical Thinker", will appear in this month's issue of Today's Speech. This brings the grand total of articles by Dr. Kruger, which have been published, to 13 and the number, which have been accepted, to The dance is to be both square and round, and calling the dance will be two of the area's top callers, Carl Hanks and Harry Wilkie. With their bands the two are wellknown thr oughout Wyoming Valley and have been received with enthusiasm wherever they have gone. It was announced by John Stahl, g eneral chairman of the dance, that during intermission, Sam Lowe will get the ·pep rally underway with the cheerleaders directing yells and songs. Another intermission 'treat' will be a special square dance set composed of John Stahl, Dave Vann, Sam Lowe, and Ted Jones and their partners, who will give an exhibition dance for those less accomplished in the fine arts of stompin' and clappin'. The four have been square dance .enthusiasts for a number of years and they feel that "if we can do it, any one can." Chairman of the dance is John Stahl, who is filling his first spot as general chairman of a dance. In char.ge of ,publicity is Cliff Brothers, chairman of the only standing committee of the Junior class and working with him as a special committee to a ssist in publicity and art work are Larry Groninger, Janice Schuster, and Jackie Oliver. The ticket chairman is Roy Hayward. Maryan Powell, chairman of the refreshment committee, stated that a variety of soda, plus potato chips and pretzels, will be available for the evening's stompers.

It was a great indication that the School Spirit Committee is doing the job it set out to do. The students really responded. The· rally got no coverage on these pages, much to our regret, since it was an off-again, on-again affair, due to the difficu~ties encountered in securing a suitable place to hold it. Limitdtions of time and space had to be considered. In the end, the site selected turned out to be ideal for the type of rally. The planners received excellent cooperation from the King~ton Police and Fire Departments, who went along in their usual gracious and courteous manner. A vote of thanks is hereby extended to those worthy gentlemen. The parade was fairly well planned and executed, although it looked rather haphazard. Too many automobiles. Perhaps for the next one (and after the fine job done, a next one seems inevitable) some semblance of a marching parade can be arranged, with the band and the students all marching. Perhaps with torches. If anyone is to ride, let's make it the members of the team. After all, they are the ones who are being honored. . All in all, the rally was quite a success. It showed that the students at Wilkes are capable of putting on a good show. Let's have more.

The council discussed plans for several projects and formed committees to take action on three major iss ues. Ron Tremayne, Ginny Brehm, Larry Amdur and Don Reynolds are the committee responsible for the improvement of the parking lot on the northwest corner of South Franklin and South Streets. They will meet with Dr. Farley to see if the curbing around this property can be removed or lowered. This would relieve the difficulty encountered by the users of this lot in entering and leaving. The council will meet with Dr. Reii, who is chairman of the Wilkes College United Fund Committee. This year, the fund is expanded to include more charities thereby cutting down the number of times the student body will be asked to contribute to local organizations. The tentative goal is set at $2,000 to be equally divided between the student body and the faculty. With the enrollment of the college at nearly 1,000, the amount •per student will be approximately one dollar, while the faculty will be asked to donate slightly less than seven dollars per person. Still in the formulative stage is an All-College dance to be held late in November. In an effort to promote interest in intercollegiate activity on a social level, the council discussed the possibility of forming a male vocal quartet to enter into competition with similar groups from other colleges. If such a unit materializes, it is planned to introduce them to the student body as part of the entertainment at the All-College dance. PEP RALLY FOR FOOTBALL AND SOCCER SQUADS Soccer and Football Will Highlight Event Who is to be Queen? With Homecoming only a short two weeks away, the Alumni Association Secretary, Russ Picton, announces that it will be the biggest and best yet planned. It is the ninth annual Homecoming event to be held at Wilkes College. The Alumni Association has planned an action-packed schedule.

The workshops will consist of informal instruction in various phases of theater - such as acting, lighting, staging, directing and make-up - and will be given by old members of the club who are versed in these particular fields. During the meeting, it was decided that Cue 'n' Curtain will present three one-act plays during the semester. The dates of the ,p roductions will be announced in the Beacon. After the formalities of the meeting were over, the freshmen members were entertained with a showing of slides made from last year's musical comedy, "Bloomer Girl". Also, readings from .Shakespeare's "Othello" were done by Mr. William Crowder, former student of Wilkes, now teaching at Coughlin High School.

Small as college linemen go, Farish never-the-less cast a tall s_hadow last Saturday night as his spe'ed and aggressiveness hi,g hlighted his performance out of his guard spot. . In o·n e particular sequence of four plays, ··Farish was seen to make three straight tackles and then: pounce on a Hofstra fumble.

NOWlll And before someone brings up the old barb about not being a football foundry, we would like to be put on record_as not aa~ vacating the hiring of Waldorf, Tatum, or Brennan. They alIready have jobs and that's not the type of .football for Wilkes. But it seems a shame that a group of men; who want nothing and get nothing for playing ball, except the fun of the sport, should not have the help they need to be welded into a team. The potential of this year's Colonels is great. Th~y have the drive, desire, and the native ability. . But one man .can't see all and do all.

And Ralston has · seen som e pretty good football teams. Because last Saturday's tilt was the first game, the boys were naturally fiervous. When a person is nervous, he tends to tire easily. Then along came two quick touchdowns that took the heart out of the Colonels.. You saw what followed. But so what? The game was played last Saturday. We don't pretend to make excuses, and we don't mean that the team won't lose any more games. •But we expect to see Picton's charges in some pretty good contests. If we may s_uggest a happy parallel, the 1955 soccer squad copped only one victo1·y in their first five starts. Then they caught fire to chalk up a 5-3-3 season, the best record ever com1iiled by a Wilkes soccer team. ODDSERVATIONS . . .

Coach John Reese has been faced with the prospect of rebuilding his top-notch 1955 squad after losing ten men through graduation.

In the second half, Hofstra's Charley Pease ran back the opening kickoff for 89 yards and a TD. After that, it was all Hofstra.

College Men * * * * by Cliff Kobland The Colonel grid squad moves down to Annville, Pa., this Saturday to encounter some more Flying Dutchmen; this time, the Flying Dutchmen of Lebanon Valley College. The game sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Lebanon, will be the first bowl game that a Blue and Gold squad will have ever participated in. This one is the annual Bologna Bowl game, played every year at Lebanon. The Colonels will be looking for their first victory of the season, after taking a beating last Saturday night at the hands of some, other Flying Dutchmen team, those of Hofstra College.

And from all reports, Lebanon Valley looks good. As Lebanon Coach Ellis R. McCracken puts it, "Prospects are the brightest since I have been coach at L.V.C." And Coach McCracken has some good reasons to be happy. He has 16 returning lettermen and has a very fast backfield headed by a youngster who ,w as ineligible last year beacuse h e transfered from Dartmouth. His name is Dick Smith, and he will be seeing plenty of action at the fullba ck slot. Besides a fast and powerful backfield, L VC has a good line spearheaded by diminutive guard Joe Toy with two fine ends in Glenn Thomas and Ross Plasterer. The Bologna Bowl starts at 8 P.M. A caravan to the game will leave at two o'clock from in front of Chase Hall. TUXEDOS TO RENT Special Price To Studenta 198 SO. WASHINGTON ST.

For you see Mr. George F. Elliot, who last year was acting Dean of Men, is back at his former position as a professor of Economics. When Mr. George F. Ralston, the Dean of Men, returned to Wilkes fter completing study' for his docate at Columbia F1fr1crsity, Mr. ,t left Chase Hall an d returned 1 office in Holl enba ck Hall.

Mr. Elliot reported that classes were running smoothly, and that he was getting back into the routine of classes, lectures, and exams. "A return to Paradise," the former dean stated about his return to the classrooms. His students are glad to welcome such a likeable ,p rofessor back teaching again. Mr. Robert J. Miller Mr. Robert J.

He entered Columbia University FROSH ENROLLMENT SETS N E W RECORD Evidence of the growth of Wilkes College is found in the size of this year's record Freshman class. The enrollment of 380 new students exceeds that of last year by epproximately 40. Transfer students, 20 in number, are included in these totals. Another key factor in the College's expansion is the increase in resident students. The recent acquisition of the Wadham building at 275 So. Franklin St. will make possible another increase in dorm space, which would allow a greater number of these students to be admitted. The building will be adopted as a dorm sometime in the future. Mr. Whitby, Registrar, states that the frosh are fairly evenly divided in their selection of courses. This well 0 balanced proportion does not hold true in all respects however. The exception should gladden the hearts of our co-eds, because the males outnumber the females by a whopping 2 to 1 margin. Good odds in any league.

At last year's Kiwanis-sponsored affair, a slim crowd of 500· heads sat through a rainstorm to see the Colonels tackle the boys from Bloom. Tomorrow's clash-rainstorm or not-should attract a good crowd for several reasons. First of all, the game itself has drawing potential. It looks as if the game is going to be a close, hard-fought contest. Both teams will start out on the same foot, mutually opening each other's seasons. Last year's Colonel grid team was at a disadvantage in its opener for it traded punches with a squad which already had one fight under its belt. Both Wilkes and Hofstra are rather shorthanded. The Flying Dutchmen lack depth in their reserves while the Colonels lack not depth, but manpower. Only twenty-one gridders comprise the Blue and Gold squad, but they will be fighting to capture a victory from Hofstra after four previous fruitless encounters with the Long Island gridders. Secondly, the proceeds of the game are to go for charity. This fact may bring some souls to Kingston Stadium tomorrow night. But if a large attendance is on hand, it will be mainly be~au sc Wilkes College students want to see their team play. We can remember back to last fall and the complaints because the football schedule listed only two home games. Ho hum. . . .

At ~ recent squad meeting, Reese told his team that g etting into top shape is half the battle. He emphasized that a new club is bound to make mistakes and lose the ball, so its players must be in too rnnning condition to chase that ball and get it back.

The debate ,t eam is preparing at these meetings for the coming '56'57 season, will debate the question "Should the U. S. discontinue direct economic aid to foreign countries ? " The team will have a busy schedule this year, with some ten tournaments slated and several dual meets also listed. Returning to the team from last year's season are Jesse Choper, John Bucholtz, Bruce Warshall and Fred Roberts, who were finalists in the four-man :;;tate tournament in the spring. Also returning are Virginia Brehm, Seymour Holtzman and Frank Lally. Lally won the ·novice tourney at Scranton last year when paired with Warshall. Two newcomers have been added to the roster thus far this year as sophomore Gwen Evans and Robert Beneski join the veterans on the talkers' team. · Backbone of the team this year will be Choper, who last year placed third in ,t he state extemporaneous s·p eaking contest, has won o ver 70 per cent of his debates. An equally important pillar to the team will be Bucholtz, who, with Choper, fills out the senior position on the squad. NOMINATIONS BEING SOUGHT FOR 1 YEAR Of STUDY FOR W.C. HOMECOMING QUEEN In spite of the many attempts the school spirit committee has been making to boost the s•p irit here at Wilkes, it is apparent that interest in campus activities is still lacking. Tom Myers, Beacon editor, stated yesterday that no letters of nomination to select the Homecoming Queen have been received despite his announcement last week. In his editorial last Friday, Myers stated that any student on campus, either day or night, can nominate any Wilkes coed to reign over the Homecoming festivities by writing a "Letter to the Editor", stating the name of the candidate. Nominating letters may be mailed to or left at the Beacon office located at 159 South Franklin Street. All letters must be signed and if fewer than six nominations are received by the closing date, October 8, the editorial staff reserves the right to nominate enough candidates to bring the total to at least six. THE WAY THE BALL BOUNCES (continued from page 3) game. This big game is the Bolog na Bowl and will be ,p layed down in Annvill e, Pa. A car caravan is being organized for this important game. Dave Polley, who is in charge of arrangements, requests that those who can supply cars get in touch with Cliff Brothers, indicating to him if there is passenger space available. Polley also urges passengers to share expenses with the driver. If enough students are interested, buses will also be used as a means of conveyance to Annville. Students should see Sam Puma about this. So by caravan, busbound, or even by TWA, take a weekend off and get down to see that Bologna Bowl. Dr. Konstantin Symmons, Pro- of all Poli sh-British anthropolofessor and chairman of the depart- gist!i. ment of sociology and anthropology at Wilkes, has received a Social Science Research Council Grant. The grant concerns the topic: "Political and Social Thought in Poland Between the Two Wars" in the field of East European studies. Dr. Symmons, who has taught at Wilkes since 1945, received a year's leave of absence. He plans to further his studies in the New York and Washington libraries while making his home in Allentown. His wife has been working as a case-worker in the Family Service of Lehigh County for several years. Receiving his education both in Europe and the United States, he earned an A.M. in European History from the University of Warsaw and a doctorate in sociology from Columbia University.

CHANGING SCENE ON CAMPUS - Making good speed on the construction of the Admiral Stark Science Hall workers were going busily about the task of completing the science building while the rest of ;he campus was relatively quiet this s ummer. The foundation has been laid and the basement has been just completed. The new building will ha ve the lecture hall for one of its wings and extend from there toward Chase Hall behind three dormitories: Butler, Ashley and Warner. Construction, which was begun early in July, is expected to reach completion in the pring semester. Nearly 400 Frosh Attend Orientation Week Activities orma Jean Davis For the past few days, as upperassmen have been relaxing and joying their last few days of isure before settling down to as es, nearly 400 freshmen have en occupied by tests, addresses rom members of the college adinistratjon, an introduction to azing, and parties and reeeptions.

M. CLOSING TIME Due to the fact that the Cafeteria has not been able to balance its budget in the past, new hours are being put into force which will, it is hoped, remedy the situation. The following .is the schedule which the cafeteria will maintain until further notice: DI ING HALL 7 :00-8 :00 .................. Breakfast 11 :30-1 :30 ············:····· Luncheon 5 :45-7 :00 ........................ Dinner CAFETERIA 9 :00-4 :00 . .... ... .... .... ... .... ... Daily The dining hall hours are· set for dormitory students, and it will be impossible for dormitory students to reeeive dining hall service at any other time. The cafeteria service will be available to all students between 9:00-4:00 daily. This will, of course, include both dormitory and day students. ATTENTI ON! This morning finds the frosh again involved in inventory tests. These are expected to last until sometime this afternoon, after which the freshmen girls will attend the annual Coke Party sponsored by Theta Delta Rho. Friday's schedule includes an address by Mrs. Getrude A. Doane, Dean of Women, on "Marks of An E ducat e d Man", Departmental Meetings, and Student Activities. The week will be rounded off by the big "Come and Meet Us" dance Friday night in the gym. Any person inte.rested in journali m, freshman or upperclassman, who would like to write for the BEACON, please get in touch with the editor or any member of the tatf.

Someone will get in touch with you. Experience is not necessary. A research team headed by Dr. Francis J . Michelini of the college biology department has already commenced preliminary investigations on a basic research ,project on growth that may possibly provide a clue to the cause of cancer in human beings. The 2-year project will operate on an $8,000 grant. The grant, awarded to Dr. Michelini by the National Research Foundation, will go toward the construction of research greenhouses to be added to the now-building Harold R. tark Science Hall. Other monies from the funds, are ear-marked for salaries of student assistants on the project and for summer salaries of Dr. Michelini, chief investigator for the two-year project. The study Dr. Michelini and his assistants are under-t aking will involve the growth process of plants, with special attention being given to the process of differentiation, a process by which the simple singlecelled seed that first forms the plant beeomes the varied and unlike forms of cells in the complicated forms of the plant. The significance of the study lies in the similarity of human cancer spadeful. The building was made posible by an anonymous donaton of $900,000, with the stipulation . that the structure be named in honor .of the Admiral. The demolition of Ashley and Butler Annexes, .t he Art Department rooms and the stairway to the second floor of the Lecture Hall were completed shortly after the start of summer classes. Excavation and construction work have been continuing at a busy pace. When completed, the college will have some of the finest scientific laboratory and classroom facilities in the country. Another development this past summer was the acquisition of theWadham residence at 275 South Franklin Street. The gray stone building is directly across from the gymnasium and has a lot in the rear which will be used for faculty parking facilities. On Wright Street, which runs between South and Ross Streets and is between River and Franklin, the College acquired a lot which has been set aside for student parking. Several old garages on the lot are being torn down at present, and when that is completed there will be space for approximately thirty-five automobiles. The building at 159 South Franklin Street, former home of the Countess Elena DeSilva, has been altered for use by the Art Department. The third floor of the building has been given over· to the Beacon and Amnicola, and the offices of these publications are located there. Mr. Whitby will shortly be moving into his new office in what was formerly ,Chase Lounge and Mrs. Connolly will move into the office vacated by the Reg.istrar. Mrs. Connolly is the College Comptrol~~ . differentiation may provide a clue to whatever may trigger cancer by causing a possible lack which may prevent the cancerous cells from differentiating. Co-operating with the Wilkes group will be an English scientist studying in a Canadian ull'iverstty. Pointing up the international character of such scientific research will be the work of Dr. Victor Runeckles, formerly of the University of London, now at Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario. Dr. Runeekles, now working in post-doctoral studies under a grant from the Canadian Science Foundation, as distinguished from the one given Dr. Michelini by the U. S. group, will co-operate with the local Dr. Francis J.

Perhaps some fast friendships have been begun. In this hectic week you have been learning a good deal about how to get around on campus and what is to be expected of you. Your Freshman Handbook and speeches have told you all that. Soon, classes will convene, and with them will come hazing. Usually the period of hazing makes Orientation Week seem routine. "Confusion and mixed emotions" are the order of the day. Every year the group administering the hazing has promised to do all they can to make it constru,ctive and worthwhile. However, each time the result has not been all that it could be. It is improving. So please •b ear with-it. · The frosh have been very good sports in the past and the upperclassmen, we hope, will go about the hazing with a mature, progressive viewpoint. · Hazing should be a constructive time of acquaintanceship with your classmates and the upperclassmen.

The change, in keeping with the amazing expansion program at Wilkes, will serve a dual purpose in creating a newer and more comfortable lounge for both men and women students, and providing additional living quarters on ,t he first floor of Butler Hall, men's dorm, which was the original location of the lounge. Among the many changes, the new lounge will provide a study hall, and for the less studious or those who simply want to relax there is a television set and a coffee On the walls are several original paintings, and the furniture is supplied from both the original lounge at Butler Hall and from former Chase Hall lounge. Mr. Whitby, Registrar, now has his offices in the old lounge at Chase Hall which has been completely redecorated with new office furniture and much more window space.

LOOK WHO'S BA:CK. A welcome back to all you fellow students and to you athletes, to George Ralston, who after a year's absence, is back as Dean of Men and Director of Athletics, and to Jim Ferris, who after four star-studded years as a Wilkes athlete, has returned to the College sports scene as assistant soccer coach. _ WHAT'S UP, DOC? With the first football game only a little over a week away, lots of action is due to pop around campus. J?ue to all the hustle-bustle of registration and because it is so early m the school year, not all the details have been ironed out; but we can let you kno what we know. 'T'he junior class, like all of us Wilkes well-w.i shers, anxious to see issance of school spirit, has so far taken the lead in setting the , fire. The juniors are planning a bonfire rally and pep session y ];'ark prior to the Wilkes-Hofstra clash and intend to have a g ht parade with the band, cheerleaders, majorettes, and of e, you, there whooping it up . . ,nother mammoth. rally will be the junior-sponsored Kernel Cotton ..... Kin' Pep Rally to be held at the College gym .on the eve of the 28th in preparation for the grid Colonels' battle against Lebanon Valley on the twenty-ninth at Annville. This big contest, the Bologna Bowl, will mark the first time that a Wilkes College athletic team will ever have played in a bowl game. A car caravan, sill in the planning stages, may be used as a means )f conveyance to Annville if student interest · in a caravan is heavy nough. Students sliping down to Annville in a caravan of cars creep,ng ith blue and gold streamers may have a good time honking things up to let people know that Wilke~is in town. If you would like to see a car caravan, or if you would li'j{e. to 1:i-ee your car in a car caravan, get in touch with either Dave Vann or me. While yours truly is not the .p ublicity director for the junior clas.s, one more small item should be recalled. As was mentioned before, all the final arrangements have not been made. As soon as every little thing is settled, the details will be published in the Beacon. Right now, however, is a good time to plan to sup.port the Colonels. This looks like a big year. The football team, drilling hard for their first encounter, may very well come up with a winning season; and their dike counterparts, Coach Reese's hooters, are seeking their fourth straight sweet slate. And Wilkes fans have an opportunity to see the squads play a total of 10 out of nineteen games at home. S o FALK CHOSEN TO HEAD P.11.0. IN N.J.

After four days of conditioning drills, the hooters have donned their shin pads and knee socks for intra~quad scrimmages. Coach John Reese, faced with the prospect of rebuilding his top-notch squad after losing ten men through graduation, continued beefing his charges into shape for their first tilt, which is still three weeks away. The s occer squad will not be at full strength until shortly after registration when additional candidates including four returning lettermen will reinforce the team. Lettermen Ahmed Kazimi, Ed Masonis, Dave Polley, and Tony Bianco will join Jim Stocker and Nick Giordano - these last two mentioned already with a week of practice under their belts to form the nucleus of this year's squad. FERRIS APPOINTED TO ASSIST REESE WITH '56 SOCCER SOUAD Jim Ferris, one of the finest allaround athletes ever to graduate from Wilkes, and one of the spark plugs of coach John Reese's topnotch 1955 soccer squad, has returned to Wilkes this fall to serve Reese again-this time as assistant soccer coach. A native of Kingston, Ferris compiled an enviable record while wearing the Wilkes Blue and Gold. A three-sport letterman, he excelled in soccer, basketball and baseball. In his junior year, he was awarded the Beacon "Athlete of the Year" trophy and the Howie Davis Memorial trophy.

Poll Al Nicholas, "Outstanding Back of the Decade", and Gerard Washco, "Outstanding Lineman of the Decade", will be presented with trophies on Alumni Homecoming Day, October 13, for being named top Wilkes gridders of the decade by ex-Wilkes football players in a recent poll conducted by the Wilkes College _public relations office. Nicholas, a native of New York, first entered Wilkes in 1949 and became an . immediate sensation. Exceptionally ·e lusive and known for his long runs, Nicholas, scored twenty-four touchdowns while running out of the single-wing tailback slot. Wa,shco, who lives with 'his wife and children in Nanticoke, was the bulwark in the Wilkes line · that came to be known as "The Seven Blocks of Anthracite". . A member of the first Wilkes team in 1946, he played tackle for four years, winding up his brilliant career with We-.i-Y4~'\::-ui:6rreril :wn'o · i~a 'th'e state in scoring. The selection of the two former gridders gives them automatic nomination to the Wilkes Hall of Fame, which the public relations office hopes to •p lace in the gymnasium upon completion of the current building program at Wilkes. Hofstra holds a 4-0 edge over Wilkes in its football series with the Colonels, so Coach Russ Pieton's charges will be doubly anxious to win th eir first from Hofstra as well as notching a victory toward a winning season, This year's reports from Long Island say that the Dutchmen lack depth, but Coach Howdy Myers can. always be counted on to field a-. team which will hold its own in, small college competition. Coach Russ Picton •has built his·: team around 12 lettermen. The· line looks solid and has plenty of experience with Bob "l\fol' Masonis, Bill Farish, J erry Loewen, Bob Yokavonus, Joe Reese, and Neil Dadurka ba~k from last year's squad. Bill Rinken, who played a year of football at Penn State, is also slated for action, as is end Ron Ercolani from Allentown. Ronnie Rescigno, running from the tailback slot, will direct a single-wing attack with Al Manarski, Art Tambur, Dick Wozniak and Sam Puma; all back from last year. Things picked u:p in the Colonel camp on Monday with the addition of four new candidates. The four, all with plenty of experience, are: center Mike Ternowski, back Boyd "Porky" Hoats, guard Jim Stephens, and end Frank Rossi. Mike T e r n o w s k i hails from Kingston High and also played for Wyoming Seminary, plus a hitch with the Seventh Army Headquarters club while in the service in German;)'· . Besides being a topnotch center and line-backer, he is also a fine .p unter and will give Sam Puma a run for that job. "Porky" Hoats was a standout at Meyers last year, both on the grid scene and on the diamond, where he pitched several no-hit games. Jim Stephens is a graduate of Plymouth High and the 185-pound guard will be giving Farish and Masonis a fight for a starting berth. Frank Rossi was a three-sport man at . South Huntington High School in New York, starring in football, wrestling and baseball. After hosting Hofstra, the football team will journey to Annville the following Saturday, September 29, to engage in its first bowl game, the Bologna Bowl, against Lebanon Valley College. The gridders are dated for a ninegame schedule: four of these games are home contests, as compared with only two home ·events last year. The college football fans will thus get to see some· fine smallcollege football.

This annual affair has proved highly successful as a means of acquainting the frosh ith the upperclassmen, and vice versa, and at the same time it serves to provide everyone with an evening of fun and relaxation before settling down to the more serious business at hand (studies, in case you needed to be told).

Not that spor ts will come to an end at Wilkes College. In our opinion, they are really just beginning. This has been an eventful year for Wilkes College sports-p~rhaps the, most eventful in the history of the college. The memories of the ye... sh,o_uld linger for a long time. THE BIG STORIES Fi.rs.t of all, there was practically a complete turnover of coaches. Youth taok over at every position with Russ Picton, John Reese and Eddie Davis guiding Colonel fortunes. The soccer' team• smashed the school's record in compiling a third straight winning season alt:hough Reese was coaching for the first year. Not satisfied with his soccer laurels, Reese led his wrestling team to an unprecedented 9-1 season which sa.w the grapplers topple Hofstra and Lafayette in two of the biggest upsets of the collegiate year. Atty,vay, Upsets are what the newspapermen like to call thett1.. The boys never had any doubts about the outcome. Continuing: along the fist of big stories for the year, we remember that .t he college added two more varsity sports .and made plans. for a third next year. Tl!re terinis and golf teams swu:ng right into action against neighboring rivals to get the experience they will need next year.. , :I! you grads eome back in a year or two, you probably WO!;t1t recognize the , schedules Colonel teams wrn 1b e playing. Arrangements were finally,made to card some of the c>pponents the college has been seek~ng for thJl.past eight years. The quality of t _h e schools on the forthcommg st ,edu.Jes will add prestige to Wilkes-and we will also stack up better agajnst them. The Hawks, winners of the league championship in the regular season, knocked off the Spanish Flyers, 6-4, in the tail end of a twin-bill last night in •K irby Park. Jim Stocker was the winning pitcher, scattering eight hits over the seven innings. Also one of the leading hitters of the game, his bat acc6unted for the first two runs for the Hawks with a double in the · first inning. Howie Gross, manager of the championship club, followed with a single to drive Stocker home. Howie chased him home ahead ahead of him again in the fifth when the Flyers center fielder dropped a long fly in deep center for a four-base error. Stocker added another single in the sixth, to bring his total of hits to three. ' An insuraRce run was added in the seventh with Marshal Jenkins doubling it home. NAVCADS ACCEPT JOHN BRESNAHAN J o h n Bresnahan, outstanding Wilkes basketball and soccer performer, has been accepted for aviation training by the United States Navy. Bresnahan is uncertain of the date he will commence flight training. The Plymouth athlete completed the Navy tests early this month and the date of entry into 'f light training has been left pending his final acceptance of the Navy offer. MAY WE' BF.ST IN PEACE However; we think the fondest memory we will carry away from this year's sports pages is the way the baseball team made us eat our wqds-uttered in a mad midseason moment. We had .t hem all but buried, but they came back and buried us. Couldn't be happier about a mistake! 1 The way the dub is playing now, it looks like they could just keep rolling on forever.

Up to this point your reporter has discussed the requirements for opening the auction and those for responding to a suit bid of one from your partner, also, the one NT opening and its responses trump raise needs and double raise~ and how to reach game when combined holdings total 26 points or so. You will also remember that for ma•j or suit and no . trump games your combined point holding should total 26, but for the minor suit games one should add two or three points for this eleven trick game. . Now we shall qiscuss the competmg -p hase of the auction. This is when the right hand opponent has opened the bidding with a suit bid of one, and it is your turn to call. This is known as the competitive position or the spot where you are g.o ing to compete for ,t he ultimate contract, and you are not satisfied to permit the opponents to reach a maka:ble contract impeded - irt ?rder to buv the privilege of playmg the deal on your terms. There are many ways to compete but we will discuss three of the more common methods of entering the auction. 1. The Takeout Double, requirements for: This call is reserved for hands that hold from 12 to 16 points and rugged support for at least two if not the other three suits such as the following: (opp. has opened with one spade).

You can readily see that each hand easily complies with the regulations for a takeout double. Now your partner has a good picture of your holdings and can take appropriate action when the auction gets around to him. 2. The Overcall in a Suit, such as one spade from the opponent and two hearts, two diamonds, two clubs from you. This is k nown as the Simple Overcall, and it descr ibes a hand holding approximat ely the equivalent of an opening bid or so (13 Friday, Mgy 18, 195' IDC ELECTS OFFICE8S,: KAYE MAKES REPORT by Jerome · Stein The new members of the InterDormitory Council elected officers for the fo rthcoming year at their final meeting last Monday. Jim Moser, freshman chemistry major was elected president, and Judy Menegus, sophomore a·ccounting major, ~ecretary. Representatives to the council were elected two weeks ago by their individual dormitories. The council members for the 1956-57 school year are: Ashley Hall, Jerry Stein and Bob Chase; Warner Hall, Jim Moser and Earl Bahl; Butler Hall Max Friedlander and R. Mattioli: Weckesser Hall, Bill Duffy and Art Rogovin; Sterling Hall, Joan Rishkofski, Mary Eshleman and Car olyn Goeringer ; McClintock Hall, Judy Menegus, Pat Yost and Mary Rose Sadari. Irwin Kaye, outgoing IDC president, presented the first president's report for the organization at the final meeting. Reviewing the year's work, he commented on the success of the numerous IDC projects, such as the annual dormitory-sponsored Christmas party, the Homecoming dance, and the presentation and acceptance of the new organization'z charter. "T nese achievements," declared Kaye, "are exemplifications of the effective tradition the IDC desires to establish at the college.'' The retiring Council head expressed his hope that the relatively new group would continue as suc.c esful an organization as it had proved to be in its first year. Reviewing the Council's cooperation in such affairs as the recen1 Hampton visit, Kaye noted again the effect~veness of the group, and added praise for the two deans who besides being t he Council's ~ eans of contact and cooperation with the administration, also served as advisers for the group. Concluding his r eport, Kaye noted that it was this first Council which laid the foundations and p1·epared the way for ,t he incoming members, who have before them what he hoped would be an even more successful year.

This will be the seventh consecutive year that Moran has direded the program at Wilkes. The College will be host to Wilkes students and ,t heir parents beginning at 3:1'30 with the band concert in the gym. After the concert, the guests will be served refreshments and will be taken on tours of the campus. To begin his program, Moran has chosen Henry Cowell's "Shoonthree" in which Ralph Harrison, band president, will be featured. Harrison also will play a cornet solo in Gould's "Pavanne" from the "American Symphonette, No. 2". Other selections chosen for the program include "My Lady Greensleeves", an English folksong attributed to Allan A-Dale, one of Robin Hood's adventurers. "-Shepherd's Hey", an English folk dance by Percy Green, and "Folksong Suite", by R. Vaugh Williams, will be featured in the concert along . with a new composition for band by Glen Osser, "Beguine for Band". The finale of the program, "Chorale and Alleluia", was written by Dr. Howard Hanson, director of the Eastman School of Music and former professor of Moran.

The assurance came with the announcement by Mr. Gilbert S. McClintock, chairman of the College's board of trustees, that the College has been named beneficiory for an irrevocable trust fund set up by Dr. Arnauld C. Marts, president of Marts and Lundy, Inc., of New York, in memory of his wife, Ethel. In discussing the possible uses of the fund, Dr. Marts indicated that he wished to make no binding commitments, but would leave to the discretion of the board of trustees the use to which the money should be put. He did sug- gest, however, that suitable memorial, in his opinion, would be a room. This irrevocable trust is the first such gift received by the college. Such trusts are rapidly increasing in popularity because they enable the donor to provide for members of their family while they simultaneously assure the college of needed funds. In addition to the memorial trust, Dr. Marts is making a substantial gift for use in the 25th Anniversary Development Program. The Development Program's scholarship fund coll~ted $10,580 this past week, bringing the total in that drive to $38,082.50. Dr. Marts' gift brings the total thus far received in EDITORIAL - Five In A Row Selection of Carl Van Dyke as the Beacon Athlete of the Ye(IJ' marks fifth consecutive timeDyke's the sports award has been made by thethe campus weekly. Van predecessors include Parker Petrilak (the first athlete to be so honored), George McMahon, Len Batroney 'a nd Jim Ferris. Each year the award, probably from the number of outstanding players who have held the post before, seems to gain just a fraction more of interest and respect from the college's sport fans, and there is no little interest in it, or so we're told by the athletes themselves. After all, the individual cups are something for grandchildren to admire on the family mantle. the development program, which has been underway for less than three months, to $1,800,000. Dr. Marts has been associated with the College since its establishment in 1933. It was during his tenure of office as President of Bucknell University that the responsibility for administering Wilkes College was turned over to local trustees. Two of the gifts, those of $900,000 and $558,000 will help build and equip the new Stark Science Building. Other objectives in the program include raising faculty salaries, increasing the college endowment, and erection of an arts center.

Krachenfels For those Wilkes students and faculty members who participated in the program planned for our guests from Hampton Institute last weekend, the word "brotherhood" has taken on a new meaning. The sincere fellowship experienced by the entire group is difficult to put into words. Comments by the Wilkes people who served as hosts for the Hampton men and the Student ·Council members who joined in the activities may give at least some idea of the spirit which prevailed. Dr. and Mrs. Rosenberg, who entertained the group on Friday evening, commented: "We certainly enjoyed visiting with the students and Dean Stamps. Many of our friends at Hampton sent messages; it was a real reunion. We were proud of the gracious way in which the Wilkes students conducted themselves, and we hope to see this exchange program become an annual .thing." Ted Jones, host to Bill Walls: "I liked meeting ,Bill and hearing about his a ctivities at Hampton. He was especially impressed by Pennsylvania's mountains. We got along fine, even though he referred to m e as his 'drill sergeant' because of the way I got him up in t he morning!" Chet Miller: "If the fellows from Hampton enjoyed the weekend as much as we did, then we can certainly consider it a success." Jim Walsh: "It was the greatest weekend I've spent in WilkesBarre since I came here." Dick Bailey: "Acting as a host has given me an invaluable experience which I shall never forget. The weekend proved .to be a very enjoyable and profitable one. Dean Stamps noticed the relationship between the students and faculty at Wilkes· and was favorably impressed by the comfortable informality. Sometimes it takes outsiders to make us aware of the advantages on our campus." Judy Botkin: "I learned a lot from the discussions we had with the Hampton boys. We agreed that American schools are taught mechanically, not logically. I thought the outing at Dr. Farley's farm was the high point of the weekend. Everyone enjoyed the singing, especially that of the Hampton Alma Mater." John Saba: "Next to the weekend I spent at Hampton Institute, this weekend has been one of the most enjoyable that I've experienced. The Hampton students were very friendly and I hope they enjoyed their visit to Wilkes." The Administration joins the students in expressing pleasure at the outcome of the exchange program. Plans are being discussed concerning the initiation of a semester-long exchange with Hamp m emester-long e x c h a n g e with Hampton.

The vice presidency will once again be filled by Merri Jones, who has held this position for the past semester.. She was re-elected unanimously. For the office of secretary, the job held this year by the new president, Marion Laines, there is a deadlock between two promising fr eshmen, Pat Yost and Bob Lutes. This tie may not be broken until a revote in September, when classes resume Natalie -B arone, a junior, and Elaine Fabian, sophomore, were chosen unanimously for offices of treasurer and historian, respectively. Larry Amdur was nominated for the presidency and vice presidency, but declined both nominations. According to the newly elected officers, Cun 'n' Curtain will be a much more active club next year than it has been in the past. Ventures such as theater trips to New York City will be planned-and made-in the future. Officers also wish to encourage anyone who has talent in any phase of stage work, from prop moving to acting, to mention such abilities to one of the officers or Mr. Alfred Groh, club advisor. New members are always welcome. Sunday, May 20, has been selected as a tentative date for the Club's annual banquet in the College cafet eria. Five awards will be presented at the banquet-for the best femal e and male leading roles, for the best f emale and male supporting roles, and (a new one this year) the best all-around actress or actor.

Psychology Head Talks On Murphy Experiment by Mary Louise Onufer Mr. Rob ert Riley, head of Wilkes College Psychology Department, s,p oke to the college student body at Tuesday's assembly on the lively and currently discussed topic of hypnosis, using the "Bridey Murphy Experiment" and age regression as the core of his speech. The experiment of Mr. Morey Bernstein, an amateur psycholo.gist, involved regressing an individual, Mrs. Ruth 'Simmons, back to various stages of her youth through hypnosis. At a certain point, Mr. Bernstein discovered that the information Mrs. Simmons gave did not coincide with her other information. Mr. Bernstein then claimed that Mrs. Simmons had lived a previous existence in Ireland as a girl named Bridey Murphy. Mr. Riley stated that it was not for him to either condemn or exhonerate Mr. Bernstein's experiment. He said that age regression through hypnosis has been very valuable in psychological treat,ment, but like all good things can be dangerous in the hands of amateurs. The speaker said hypnosis can be administered by almost anyone, but the danger lies in bringing. the individual back from the trancf A<:cording to Mr. Riley, the indiv' (continued on page �Friday, May 11, 1956 3 WILKFS COLLEGE BEACON 11 Named '56 'Athlete' Runners-Up HONORABLE MENTION Background Glimpses Of the Tops in Sports On the Colonel Scene YOUNSU KOO Koo was awarded the Reggie Burr A ward for outstanding soccer player on the Colonel booter squad for the second straight year.

The travelers arrived at the glass company at 11 a.m. The program proved to be an extensive one, since the sight-seers were first shown a film which served to explain some of the mechanics of glass making and later, as a supplement, they were shown exhibits in the museum portion of the plant. The members were also afforded the opportunity to watch the actual manufacture of Steuben Glass from its very beginning to the final product. Of particular interest was the exhibit of the 200 inch lens made for Mount Palomar in California. The lens is the largest piece of glass that has ever been cast and weighs over 20 tons.

This exchange plan originated at the request of the West Virginia school early in the year. In correspondence with Mr. George Elliot, Wilkes' Acting Dean of Men, Hampton Institute officials expressed a desire to have members of their student bdy visit Wilkes, and invited Wilkes to send visiting students in return. The first weekend in A p r i l, our four c 1 a s s presidents and one 'Student Council official, traveled to Hampton Institute. Those who represented Wilkes were: Bob Lynch, Dave Vann, Bob Thomas, George Batterson, and Larry Amdur. The Ha1:npton Institute people will arrive about 6:30 o'clock this evening. They will be met by their hosts at the Administration Building, Chase Hall. A scheduled program for the weekend has been arranged by three Student Council members: Larry Amdur, Sam Lowe and Chet Miller. At 7:0-0 ·p .m., our guests will have dinner at the college cafeteria with student hosts and friends; at 8 p.m., there will be a social with Dr. and Mrs. Rosenberg. Dr. Rosenberg is Chairman of the Commerce and Finance Department. Tomorrow, our visitors start the day off with a tour of the campus followed by a welcome by President Eugene S. Farley at his office. There will also be a coffee and doughnuts reception at 10:30 a.m. at McClintock Hall with members of the faculty and student body. 'The Hampton Institute people will complete a full day with an outing and picnic supper at Dr. Farley's farm at Beaumont. Sunday morning our guests will be going to church with their hosts. Then, Sunday afternoon, after a busy three days at Wilkes-Barre, Hampton's five m en will return home. Manuscript Set For Early Distribution Two Short Stories, "New Look" Featured In '56 Literary Mag. The Spring, 1956 edition of the Manuscrip_t, the College literary magazine, will be ready for distribution on campus the early part of next week, it was announced today by the Manuscript Association. Copies will be placed in the library and all other buildings on campus. F eatured in this year's edition are short stories by Jeannette P errins and Tom Kaska, both of whom make their debuts as Manuscript authors. "The Letter", by Jeannette P errins, treats an anxious day in the life of a coed. "The Wall", by Tom Kaska, captures the tragedy and ,p athos of local mine shutdowns through the eyes of a Slavic miner. Also featured are articles by Shirley Ray, Katherine Kescanko, John Carling, Frank Lutinski, and Barbara Boock. Illustrations by Pat Reese and Della King, and tail-pieces by Kay Noonan add vigor and freshness to the magazine as a whole. Several innovations in design have been made to give the Manuscript a new look. The cover has been redesigned, and the quality of paper changed. Because too few articles had been submitted to warrant a legitimate contest, the $25 savings bond will not be awarded, as was originally planned. None of the articles appearing in the magazine was submitted to competition by the author. TOR ELECTION RESULTS New officers were elected by Theta Delta Rho on Wednesday. The results were announced by Bernice Thomas, incumbent President of the sorority. President: Patsy Reese. Vice President: Peggy Stevens. Treasurer: Naoma Kaufer. Secretary: Pat Bedeski. RED CROSS DRIVE .LETTERMEN OFFER 2-BIT SHOE SHINE GI BOOTS RULED OUT Tickets are now on sale for the ·a nnual Lettermen's Shoe Shine Days which will be held next Thursday and Friday on campus. The Lettermen are issuing tickets beforehand so students can avoid the sudden rush in the latter part of next week, it was announced by General Chairman Al Manarski. The Lettermen are offering the brightest and most lasting shine to Wilkes students for only twentyfive cents. In fact, they will shine anything but G.I. boots. Three groups of bootblacks will be on campus to a ccomodate the demands of all shoe-conscious students. One group will be permanently located in the cafeteria and two others will move about campus. Rags, brushes, and other shoeshine necessities will be donated to the club by the members. • Cheerleaders Add 4; Enlerla1n New Squad Totals 7 TDR lo Mothers al Tea on McClinlock . Lawn by Norma Jean Davis Mothers of Theta Delta Rho members are in store for a s-p ecial treat this afternoon from 3 to 5 o'clock when they will be entertained at the Mothers' Day Tea in McClintock Garden. The Tea, which is an annual affair, is designed to give "Mom" a chance to relax and enjoy herself, to meet her daughter's fri ends, and to see the College Campus. General chairman of the affair Connie Kamarunas announced that invitations have been sent to the mothers of all the girls. It is hoped that every member of the sorority will take this opportunity to 'treat' their 'Mom' and show h er just how much she's appreciated. The following have been named committee chairmen: Hostess, Jane Obitz, city; Entertainment, Miriam Thomson, Hershey; Clean-up, Jessie Roderick, city; Decoration, Carolyn Goeringer, Dallas; House, Gail Laines, city; Invitations, Helen Young, Berwick; Refreshments, Nancy Batchelor, city; Publicity, Audrey Radler, West Wyoming. Mrs. Bastress Heads Faculty Coffee Hour Wilkes faculty women will hold an All College •Coffee Hour Wednesday from 3 to 5 o'clock in the College cafeteria. Chairman of the affair is Mrs. Alfred Bastress. Assisting Mrs. Bastress will be Mesdames John Chwalek, Francis Salley, Hoh-Cheung Mui, Sheldon Curtis, Harold Thatcher, Charles Worstall, Gladys Davis, John Cabore, and Arthur Kruger. Pouring for t he ·Coff ee Hour will be: Mesdames Eugene Farley, Hugo Mailey, Robert Werner, and Miss Margaret O'Brien. Four Wilkes College coeds have been added to the cheerleading squad as a result of elections held after last Tuesday's assembly. The new ch eerleaders are: Gail Schaffhauser, junior, .Shavertown; Alison Rubury, sophomore, Forty Fort; Marcia Elston, freshman, Lehman; and Grace Major, freshman, Lehman. These new cheerleaders were admitted to the squad by a committee which consisted of this year's cheerleaders, together with Mr. Robert Moran, cheerleading adviser, and Mrs. Gertrude Doane, Dean of Women. Schaffhauser, Rubury, Elston and Major will combine with returnees Phyllis Walsh, junior, city; Ann Kennedy, junior, city; and Judy Menegus, sophomore, Clifton, N.J., to bring next year's cheering squad to a total of seven girls. Bio Society Elects Weiner '56-'57 Prexy Last week, the members of the Biological Society of Wilkes College elected those people who will occupy the administrative positions for the forthcoming year, 1956-7. The new officers include: Leslie P . Weiner, president; Vincent Drapiewski, vice president; G 1 or i a Dran, secretary; John Saba, treasurer; and Marvin Kurlancheek, program chairman. The election proved to be a very close one with many of the candidates winning by extremely small margins. The newly elected officers are in charge of the club's outing which will ta.k e place this Sunday at Wolfe's Grove. The outing is an annual affair of the club and serves to give the incoming administrators a chance to exercise their powers and an opportunity to acquire experience in club affairs from the administrative level. The program for next year's club is an extensive one and aims to duplicate, -if not surpass, this year's very highly successful one. Second Wilkes Blood Day Today; . Reese Hopes Ouola is Topped Again; Three-Fold Insurance Plan Will Hold Wilkes students will again have the opportunity to donate a pint of blood in the second half of the semi-annual blood drive held by the Red Cross today at the blood center on South Franklin Street from eleven to five o'clock. Seniors Complete Practice Teaching In Local Schools Wilkes seniors in education began their eight weeks of student teaching in Wyoming Valley schools on February 27th. The initial part of the program consisted of an observation period of from one to five days, and was followed by a supervised teaching period of seven weeks. These education majors have had their first taste of teaching after spending the past sixteen years of their lives as students. The following completed their teaching in the area's elementary schools: State Street School, Nanticoke, Bernice Thomas, second grade; Lafayette School, WilkesBarre, Geraldine Kolotelo, fourth grade, and Victoria Za:v~tski, third grade; Hoyt School, Wilkes-Barre, Gail Lain es, third grade, J essie Roderick, first grade, B a r b a r a Rogers, second grade, Mary Zavatski, fourth grade.

He has announced that since 1953 more than one thousand Wilkes students have donat~d at least one of their eleven pints of blood to this worthy cause. Reese expressed hope that the donations for the college this semester will be much g reater than the 97 pints given last December. Donors must be at least 18 to contribute; those under 21 must have the written consent of their parents. Mr. Robert W. McDonouth, director of the blood insurance program at the center and a Wilkes graduate, stated that the same insurance program used last year will be employed this year. This three-fold plan states that the Red Cross will furnish blood to the donor, his immediate family or any member of the group (in this case all Wilkes students) when the need arises. To be eligible for these benefits of blood insurance, Wilkes must m eet their quota. Donors who give 8 pints of blood are eligibl e for the "Gallon Club". For the benefit of the community, Wilkes and yourself, drop over to the Red Cross Center between 11 and 5 o'clock today and give. NEW DORM COUNCIL MEMBERS ELECTED; FARLEY AT MEETING Dr. Eugene S. Farley, Wilkes President, was g uest of the InterDormitory Council at its meeting Wednesday evening at the college dining hall. The college president attended as part of the policy of dose co-operation between the donnitory group and the administration.

Hampton Institute, a West Virginiq college, is sending five delegates up to Wilkes as part of a student exchange program beginning this year. It has been hoped that the program might develop into an annual affair, perhaps at some future time incorporating reciprocal study plans. For the present, however, the Hampton students are guests of the College, and thereby, of its students. H~pton chances to be an all-dormitory institution, so that when the Wilkes delegates visited the campus several weeks ago they had ample opportunity to visit with the Hampton people. It ~o happens that Wilkes is largely a commuter school, so that 1t behooves students to go a little out of their way over the weekend to assure these visitors of a reasonable view of what the college here is like.

Worstall, Wilkes C o 11 e g e professor of physics, spoke at last Tuesday's assembly program on the problems of space travel and the flying saucer issue. Intermipgled with semi-technical language, the use of toy balloon, and with the h elp of a large cardboard rocket, the doctor caused the problems of space travel, and the flying saucer controversy to b ecome more vivid in the minds of everyone. _ With the toy balloon, the professor effectively demonstrated the principle of rocket locomotion. H e emphasized the likelihood of celestial travel in the not too distant future. The chief problem now is discovery and utilization _of the proper fuel, he pointed out.The implications of the lecture, however, indicated that in many persons' opinions there has already been discovered not only the proper fuel, but that it has been put to use - in flying saucers. Although many are inclined to scoff at the idea that there are such things as flying saucers, they should be cautioned to regard the massive authenticated data comled, testifying to their existence. - WILKES COLLEGE - Beacon A newspaper published each week of the regular school year by and for the students of Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

Inquirer Plant by Janice Schuster Eight m embers of the College Press Club and club advisor John D. Curtis visited the publishing plant of the Philadelphia Inquirer yesterday morning. The club members also were guided through the television studios of St at i o n WCAlU-TV in the afternoon. The purpose of the trip was to acquaint the club m embers with the operation of a big city newspaper. An issue of the paper was being publish ed and the students were able to see both the newswriting and mechanical aspects of producing the paper. The trip was made by car. The students left the campus at 6:30 a.m. and returned late last evening. During the day a tour was made to the interesting points in the citli'embers of the club who went on the trip are Carol Breznay, Thomas Myers, Thomas Price, Janice Schuster, Audrey Radler, Cliff Kobland, Mary Louise Onufer, and Richard Davis. • Lt>NGS,. · ft W\C .-.W FEATURING THE NY LEAGUE LOOK FOR COLLEGE MEN JORDAN Est. 1871 Men's Furnishings and Hats of Quality ** 9 West Market Street Wilkes-Barre, Pa. �Fp~qy, May 4, 1956 3 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON . . t •.

Coach Jack Curtis was undecided about the makeup of his four-man squad for the tournament, but it appeared that Felix Serafin, Jr., Bernie Danchek, Dave Polley and Bill Llewellyn might make the trip. Neil Dadurka was the other possibility.

He has been hitting consistently, playing right field when not pitching. Mel's pitching has been good all season, although he has suffered two losses without getting into the win column. with a 2.96. This puts him . hot on the trail of John Milliman, who ha's been leading the earned run average ,p arade so far this season. His thirteen strikeouts in a losing cause against Ithaca impressed major league scouts in attendance. They said that he could be an effective big league pitcher if he develops an overhand curve ball to go with hi s sidearm fast ball. He lost one game to Albright and was tagged with his second loss by a powerful Ithaca squad, 10-0, last Friday, after pitching three innings of good ball against Cortland the day before. H e was taken out of that game after three innings h order to be able to pitch the next day, with Birnbaum getting the win in relief.

I I) 6 !~ How to estimate partnership trick taking capacity after you have opened the bidding and your partner as responder hasA. Raised your suit bid of one to two. Since this expresses a holding of not more than ten points maximum - and since you have already expressed thirteen by opening the bidding - Now if you do not hold a ny more than your original commitment then your maximum is only twenty-three points (13 plus 10 max.) and since it takes approximately twenty-six points to l'.,id a game in no trump or a major ~uit it follows then that you must pass with only thirteen or so points. Should you hold an additional three or four points you express that by bidding for one trick more, and if party has a maximum raise (ten points and not six o·r seven) then he will bid the game since he then is in a position to ·a ssess the holdings in a much clearer ·perspective after you have expressed additional values by rebidding. B. Bid another suit - such as one spade - two hearts. ' Since this bid (2H) shows from ten points upward it behooves you to show your power now - If only 13 points then you rebid your suit at the same level ( lS - 2H - 2S). This sequence tells partner that you have a minimum opening bid and little else. Partner is now ,charged with the ultimate fate and limit of the contract, inasmuch as ·you have had an opportunity to :show more power but didn't, then :it follows that your maximum is 13 to 15 points only. Should you have a king and / or queen better than an opening then you show this by raising partner's called suit to three or by calling two no trump (15 - 17 / 18 points). If yo u h ave 19 to 20 points then you bid three no trump. C. Bid two no trump - since the hid shows from 13 - 15 points. This combined with your already committed 13 points a ssures you that you have game. If your hand has no short suits you bid three no trump. If your hand does have a s ing leton then either bid another suit or rebid your original suit. Then ask partner to bid game in your suit or carry on for game at no trump. This is his discretion only. You are not to disturb his final decision. D. Bid three no trump. Since this shows 16-18 points and you have already shown 13 - You ma y pass if you have little else. You bid again only when you hold 4 points more than your opening. E. Partner has bid one in a suit of higher rank than yours. Treat this cautiously. This is an indefinite call. Partner may have a s little as 5 points or a s much as 20 points. Be careful if you have only 13-15, then bid no trump. This tells partner you have a minimum opening only. Now he can judge the hand the• way his hand dictates. If you cannot bid 1 no trump because your distribution is awkward then simply rebid your suit. This t ells partner you have only a simple opening. llilllilliiillilliilllll -m 1:he Psych-Soc. Club, a_s part of their annual program, Journeyed yes terday to Retreat Mental Hospital.

Competing against 23 leading colleges and universities, the local squad shared second honors with five other teams as Dartmouth took to1> place. Wilkes finished with a. record of 9 wins and 3 losses. Winner of the overall sweepstakes which included debate, persuasive speaking, and extempore speaking was Fordham. Wilkes used the same lineup which brought them into the final round of the State Tournament two weeks earlier. The Wilkes affirmative t eam of Fred Roberts and Bruce Warshal def eated Fordham, T empl e, and Arm y, while losing to Vermont, Dartmouth, and Brandeis. Dr. Arthur N.

Both of these sports carry out the more practical aspects mentioned a few weeks ago in regard to the recently-organized Fencing Club, which, by the way, last week overcame one of its last hurdles when its charter was approved by the tudent Council. The advantage to all three of these sports lies in the fact that they are not particuarly brutal or violently overactive, and consequently offer more to the ordinary student.

The college's two newer sports, golf and tennis, are perhaps even more to the advantage to the participants than the others inasmuch as they are those more apt to be enjoyed off the campus and outside the college. In short, sports are finally giving a vague of returning to what they were once in the happy past before they enjoyed the noble benefits of the great panacea, Organization; there exists a dim chance that sports might be turned back into games -something done (not Activities Participated In - something done) not for plaudits or letters or spirit, but for that ignoble, unsophisticated, taboo reason known as fun. um.

At the same time I extend to each one of the girls my sincerest good-luck wishes in the coming election. Sincerely, Jacqueline Oliver The DEAN'S CORNER By George F. Elliot, Acting Dean of Men One vital institution in every office, sewing circle, and Saturday Evening and Chowder Club is the end-of-year report. This is the time when the President of the organization points to such solid achievements as the new one-way lock on the ladies' room and the more strategic grouping of cuspidors. He hopes these symbols of progressive leadership will end once and for all any remaining doubts as to how his wife's brother happened to be appointed treasurer. This is the month when the harassed Secretary ponders long hours trying to decode his faded shorthand notes in order to make a permanent annual r e c o r d. The notes he took at that emergency meeti n g following the N ew Year's Eve Party are partic u 1 a r l y hazy, and he still can't quite Elliot decide whose wife it was that ran off with whose husband. It is also the time of the year when the Treasurer reports from somewhere in the vicinity of Las Vegas that the organization's assets now consist of six one cent postage stamps, one fifty cent poker chip, a rain check to a Union City burlesque house, and seventeen personal IOU slips totalling a sum of $1,000,043 . In line with this tradition I fe el ,t hat it is proper and necessary for the Acting Dean of Men to submit a similar report to Dr. Farley. This is one way to prove that retailing majors are not the only people who conduct surveys. It will also have the added advanta.ge of assuring my permanent return to the t eaching faculty. A group of senior Lettermen chosen by the Club's executive council, and by Mr . and Mrs. Farrar, served as the selecting committee. The Queen was chosen on the basis of beauty, brains, poise, and service to the school. Miss Beard was escorted by Tony Bianco, Wilkes Letter man.

Starting pitcher for today's contest remained ·a question mark at press time due to the schedule which had the Colonels slated for four games in four days.

DEBATERS AT KING'S FOR EASTERN FORENSIC The College announced another large donation last night$558,000-for the fonnation of a "W. S. Carpenter Memorial Fund", to encourage the study of science and to support independent research at the College. The gift was announced by Gilbert S. McClintock, chairman of the board of trustees. The fund is in memory of W. S. Carpenter, a leader in the early business development in this area, and was donated by his son, Mr. W. S. Carpenter, Jr. Mr. Carpenter is chairman of the board of the Dupont de Nemours Company, Wilmington, Del. By Bob Lutes Today and tomorrow the college student body will have its first opportunity to see the Wilkes debating team in action. The annual Eastern Forensic Tournament is to be held this year at King's College, with Mr. Robert E. Connelly, King's deBy Norma Davis bate coach, as host. Theta Delta Rho will entertain This event is going to be a kind of "sweepstake"; in addition to the customary orthodox style of debate, there will be awards and ratings for persuasive s•peaking and extemporaneous speaking. Competition is expected to be especially stiff for the weekend contest, with no less than 24 of the nation's leading colleges and universities entered. However, Dr. Kruger is confident that our Wilkes debaters will make a good showing, just as they have in the past. Wilkes' debating t eam has done a fine job thus far this year. It is interesting to note that Choper is the only member of the team with a year's debating ex,perience behind him; John Bucholtz, Bruce Warshall and Fred Rober.ts have just joined the debating team this year. Helping to keep Wilkes College on top and making our school more widely known, the Jesse Chop er John Bucholtz team has managed impressive wins during the season over such tough competitors as Harvard, ,B oston, and Princeton.

Carpenter Press Club Plans Trip to 'Inquirer' By Janice Schuster The College Press Club recently received word that the Philadelphia Inquirer will be host to its members Thursday, May 3 at the paper's publishing offices. Approximately ten members of the club will go to New York with advi!!Or John D. Curtis, Director of Public Relations. The Inquirer is one of the largest newspapers in the world. The Wilkes students will be taken on a tour of the publishing plant while an edition of the paper is actually being printed. Curtis and his advisees hope to leave the campus on Thursday afternoon. The tour of the paper will begin at 8:15 p.m. and will last about one hour. The club members will return to WilkesBarre immediately after visiting the newspaper premises. Earlier in the year the club toured WBRE television station, where its members observed many of the instruments and techniques necessary for a televised program. Dr. Farley noted that this gift brings the total of pledges and donations of substantial size within t he past three months to $1,827,000, and that it denotes a promising prelude to the major phase of the development campaign which will be started in 1957 . Dr. Farley also commented that this is the second assist for the science departments, providing the .College with new and modern resources for the teaching of science. The senior Mr. Carpenter was a Wilkes-Barre native, born April 5, 1853, one of the leaders in the time of this city's greatest expansion. He was a man of varied interests and talents. His firm was instrumental in the development of the electric trolley system, and some of the refinements he introduced are still in use in modified form today. His plumbing and metal work firm served the mining and associated industries in the days when coal was king. Mr. Carp_enter outlined very liberal terms for the administration of the living memorial. It was his hope that the income from it would be used to encourage research, assist students of unusual promise in the field of science, and to enable the science faculties to initiate programs which they feel would strengthen the work of their departments. At the end of his letter, Mr. Carpenter referred indirectly to the relationship of his grant to his own life's work: "Perhaps there is a measure of fitness in scie11ce at work serving science at study." Turtel Named Treasurer Of Regional ICG Group Last weekend the Wilkes College International Relations Club traveled to the Intercollegiate Conference on Government held at Harrisburg. The Wilkes group presented eight major planks to the mock political convention. S e v e n of them passed. Neil Turtel, Wilkes delegate was named regional treasurer of the ICG at the conference. Turtel is also a candidate for the .p residency of the IRC next year in the club elections to be held next Tuesday. �2 Friday, April 20 1956 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIALS - Apologies Somehow in last week's story on the College-produced musical, "Bloomer Girl", the Beacon managed to omit mention of one of its co-directors, Mr. John G. Detroy, head of the Wilkes music department and director of the musical side of the show. The Beacon, and the editor in particular, regrets the error, and wishes to mention also the orchestra for the production, a group little publicized, but as essential for the success of any such attempt as the acting and singing casts.

At Hampton we found an energetic and productive community ; we found a campus of unusual beauty and of excellent physical facilities; we sensed a living spirit of devotion and of hope for the future. Most signficantly, however, we found friendship. Each of our boys lived with, ate with, attended classes with, and engaged in a variety of social activities with his Hampton host. The President, the Tuesday is the day when candidates for the College Student Council speak in assembly to present their platforms for Wednesday's election. It is also, the day when the actual primary elections are held in this Commonwealth, and _those of voting age ought not to lose sight of the actuality for which such attempts at student government as the Council and its attendant elections are designed to train those for whose benefit they are held. So while the speeches on Tuesday are important to the campus, let it not be forgotten that while they are something in the light of practice, the voting going on in the booth in the gymnasiulll lobby while the candidates are talking is not practice but the real thing, something of certainly at least equal importance to the College as well.

Although •B ig John has a rather unlikely won-lost record at the moment, 1-2, his earned-run average is a very respectable 2.05. In the 26 1/ 3 innings he has pitched, the righthand ace has chalked up 26 strike outs, while ,allowing only 15 hits and seven bases on balls. John's best performance was his one-hit shutout of Rider in the curtain raiser of the season. He fanned 13 and walked one of the Roughriders, to gain the only win on the Colonels' record. In this week's tilt with Moravian, Milliman was a victim of three unearned runs, while his teammates could garner but one. The team has scored but five runs in the three games John started. If the hitters can get behind him and the squad's fielding picks up, John can finish his last year with an excellent record. an advisory ca-p acity and as a liaison between coach Picton and the t eam. The squad has received rpermission from the city to use the municipal courts in Kirby Park, which should be a boon to the t ennis t eam. The following m en are candidates for the team: Fred Boote, senior; William Savitsky, sophomore; Ronald Krupinski, junior; George Weaver, junior; Francis Gallia, sophomore; Leroy Fiergang, so,p homore; Max Friedlander, freshman; and Robert Koser, freshman. Coach Reese to Give Pitching Assignment To Milliman or McNew By Cliff Kobland The Wilkes College baseball team travels to Allentown tomorrow to take on the Mules of Muhlenberg . T'his will be the Colonels' fifth game of the season and the third road game. So far on the road they have one won while losing the same amount. They have been una·b le to win before the hometown fans. The team expects to face tough competition from the Mules. Muhlenberg has posted a victory over the University of P ennsylvania and has also been defeated by the same club. The Muhlenberg nine has also gone down to a close defeat at the hands of a very good Nav~ team. Coach John Reese, who led the-soccer and wrestling teams to their best seasons in the history of· Wilkes, is optimistic about the rest of the games. Mr. Reese said that the pitching has been very strong and the fielding has been fair, but the weak spot in our team is our hitting. And you can't score runs without hits. It is undecided who will pitch down at Allentown. It will be either John Milliman, the work horse of the team who has pitched in every game this season and has comrpiled a 1-2 record, or Mel McN ew. Mel, when not pitching, has been playing in the outfield. Otherwise the lineup will stay the same. Every man is •p laying. good ball except that the hitting has not been consistent to say the least. Catcher John Harvey thinks that the breaks are going against the t eam and that one Wilkes starts getting some breaks on their side they will start on the winning trail. •Certainly, they have the potential to do just that. From the PRESS BOX By JONNI FALK, Sports Editor WHERE'S THE HITTING? Maybe it is still too early to count them out, but it doesn't look like this year's baseball t eam is going anywhere. Blessed with one of the best pitching staffs a Colonel nine has ever had, the team just hasn't been able to jell as yet. With a current record of 1-3, the and Gold's pseudo clouters have mustered the astounding total of just 16 hits in four tilts. With the help of Mr. Wasileski, we figure that this comes out to four hits per game - thanks to a seven hit spree against Rider. What we ha ven't been able to figure out is why the ball won't fall in. For college ball, and the bad weather which has hamper ed everybody, few Colonels have been striking out. The average is only about five a game, which is not bad. But, the boys just don't seem to be able to get good wood on the ball - especially when it counts. The last two Wilkes runs have scored on weak taps to the infield when a good base knock could have put the pitcher in plenty of trouble. SPORTING GOODS Over the last three games, the swatters have been able to get Milliman and McNew a total of two runs. Milliman pitched well 28 North Main Street enough to win in at least one of those games, and McNew lost a heart-breaker in his only time out. In addition, the fi elding has been anything but airtight. Four boots and a passed ball helped sink Milliman against tough Moravian when TUXEDOS TO RENT he might have had a shutout. Other balls have found open spots which Special Price To Students just shouldn't have been there. 198 SO. WASHINGTON ST. They're not finished yet, but the diamond crew will have to find a spark someplace if they are going to imp-r ove on last year's shabby record. The schedule this year is tough, and unless they find the big hit and the big fielding play to go with the pitching, John Reese mig ht just as well throw his dreams of a third winning coaching season down the drain.

Captain Dick Morris, last year's average champion, gave his team the boost it needed by turning in a 215 when the Riders needed it most. The Terrors, champs of the American Division, started as if they r:c,eant to make a clean sweep of the match by roaring through the first game behind captain Gross and Bob Helmbold. Riders Win Second However, with Morris and Joe Miceli showing the way, the Riders came back · in the second. After taking the second by a big margin, the champs had all they could do to stave off the Terrors in the final game. The Terrors took the game, but lacked enough pins to come out on top in a playoff which was decided by total pins. Members of the new championship team are: captain Dick Morris, John Hessler, Joe Miceli, Joe Ackourey and Janet Davies. The runners-up, led by Howie Gross, include: Leo Dembrowski, Jim . Coleman, Bob Helmbold, Rosie Weinstein and Frances Hopkins. Bowlers on both teams will receive trophies at the annual Awards Day assembly.

Then in the ployoff games the Crew Cuts squeaked by the Clowns, 37-35, and then dumped Newport, 48-41.

By JONNI FALK, Sports Editor LET'S TAKE rmsT THINGS FIRST In just a few weeks from now, the senior class will hold a vote in which the college athletic department can't lose. The June graduates have decided to give the school a class gift which will consist of either a set of flags for the gym or a trophy case. They are both good ideas, but let's take first things first. The flags would be those of opponents Wilkes meets during the course of the athletic year. The t rophy case would contain awards given the college and its athletes during the course of the years. The final choice must boil to one of practicality. Should we enshrine our opponents before we pay tribute to· our own athletes? Sure, teams coming in to play would feel good to see a flag from their school in the gym. It even smacks a bit of big time (which we are not in athletics). But what about the graduate who comes back for homecoming day and asks what happened to the trophy his team won back when? It seems to us that we should take care of our own before we start thinking of the other guy. Then we must consider the fact that schedules change. Many of the teams on our current card, and whose flags would presumably be purchased, will not be on the schedule in the future. Those things change continually. The price of a flag is a considerable expenditure for something which could wind up gathering dust in a closet. But then, some of the dusty old trophies our boys have sweated for may need company in tha,t closet. Now don't get us wrong. We're not criticising the idea of buying flags. It is a good one, and Wilkes is proud of the hospitality it shows visiting athletes. We know that other schools possess such embellishments and maybe we should too. But, if we're going to follow the Jones boys., let's do it right. Let's put up pictures of our teams in the gym lobby, and then admit that we like athletics and athletes. But we'd still be willing to bet that every team that has these flags also has a trophy case which points proudly to that school's achievements. So we suggest that the seniors think carefully before they cast their votes. Remember! Some of you may be the old grads who will come back someday and wonder if it was all worthwhile. However, as we said before, .e ither way - sports can't lose and we're glad of it.

Members of the two squads who will be eligible for competition next year participated in the election. A pair of Butler Hall dorm students walked away with the nod from the football team as Ronnie Rescigno and Bill Farish were named to be co-captains of the 1956 grid Colonels. Rescigno, a sophomore, has been a star back for two years since coming here from Cambria Heights, Long Island. Showing his versatility, he switched to halfback in the split-T last year after running from tailback in the single wing in his freshman year. Farish, now a junior, was the only Colonel to receive post-season mention last year when he was given honorable mention on the Williamson Little All-America. A guard, he comes from Huntingdon, Pa. Bresnahan Cage Head John Bresnahan, Plymouth junior, was elected captain of the 1956-57 cagers. The naming of the 6-2 forward marked the second sport he will head next year. He had previously been chosen co-captain, along with Ahmad Kazimi, of the soccer t eam. One of the top scorers on this year's team, Bresnahan had lettered for two years and forms the keystone of next year's squad. Rescigno and Farish succeed Glenn Carey, who captained last year's gridders. Bresnahan replaces three cage co-captains, Jim F erris, Joe J ablonski and Carl Van Dyke. �WILKF.S COLLEGE BEACON 4 Friday, March 23, 1956 65 On First-Semester Dean's List Jessie Roderick, Patricia sI Ou I, Musical to be Benefit I~~t;~e~E!!T!!~ 2~NTER John Bu c h o I I z Jesse Choper • Th omas score per fecI 3•0 Bern1ce I Sixty-five Wilkes students earned grades high enough to place them on the Dean's List for last semester, Dean of Men George Elliot announced early this week.
