Not to be outdone by mere leprechauns, the Freshmen, in COUNCIL APPROVES SCHOLARSHIP FUND FROM I.C.F. BALANCE Provisions for a student scholarship fund were submitted to and approved by the student governing body at the last Student Council meeting. The fund will be called the "Annual Student Body Scholarship Grant" and will be awarded to the person considered most worthy by a faculty committee. The money for the scholarships will come from the balance of the Intercollegiate Conference F u n d which was established earlier in the academic year to finance activities of organized campus clubs. The Student Council Scholarship will be awarded to the outstanding student on the basis of need, scholarship, and leadership. Representatives of the Student Council will meet with the Scholarship Committee of the faculty to nominate candidates. The group will rate them in order of merit and need. The person rated first will get the highest award. The others will get awartls if the money is availabl e. No individual award will exceed $250.00, but the joint committee may divide the funds among the ,t hree top students in any manner to r ender the greatest service. Names of candidates will be placed in nomination before May 15 of the spring semester and the award or awards will be announced during the first two weeks of the fall term. BASTRESS ANNOUNCES TRIAL REGISTRATION Dr. Alfred W. Bastress, dean of instruction, announced that the beginning of trial registrations this coming week, samples showing the correct method of completing the registration fo-r ms will be posted on most campus bulletin boards. Dr. Bastress stated that unnecessary delay and complications in processing forms have resulted in the past from mutilation of the registration forms and improper entries thereon. He asked that students note the sample form s before attempting to fill in the registration form for the fall semester. This affair will mark the closing of this year's activities, and half of t he cost will be paid from the class treasury . All juniors are urged to take advantage of this opportunity to get acquainted with their f ellow classmates in a friend ly, informal atmosphere. Jerome Stein is chairman of the a ffai r .

WC Students to Visit West Virginia College Th e four class presidents and one Student Council official fr om Wilkes College will travel to Hampton Institute, West Virginia, early in the spring as part of an exchange student program it was announced by Bob Lynch, Student Council President. The West Virgi nia boys' school will also send five stud ents to the Wilkes campus for a weekend. President Lynch announced that the West Virginians will come to the college during the weekend of May 4, 5, and 6. The Wilkesmen will visit the southern institute on April 6, 7, and 8.

The City has said nothing since, fortunately, but the other day some of our readers pointed out that it might be well justified in so doing. What annoyed the people who spoke to us was the inconsiderateness of some drivers who park their vehicles in such a manner as to fill not only their own space, but that of another as well. And it is not too unusual, either, they claim, to find other autos boxed in beyond all hope of moving until one of the machines on either end has left. What really worries them, though, is the tendency for many to park in restricted zones, or, even worse, ne~ to City fire plugs. Now when the City granted students parking privileges, it was assumed that the students would be mindful of their responsibilities to their fellows and to the community. A privilege is not, despite what some of the College's less admirable citizens seem to think, a right. A privilege is something which can be removed, and if abuses continue, drivers who continue to demonstrate their irresponsibility may just discover one day that it has been.

For an intelligent boy, (and I know you are) you surely do not follow logical lines of reasoning. Case in point, your letter to the Editor in last week's Beacon. You say that in order for Student Council representatives to do their jobs •p roperly, they must first know their jobs. (,Logical so far, huh? Wait!) You ,then say that Student Council representatives do not :know their jobs, but in proof of this you offer only your observations at "several" Council meetings. This, Dave, is illogical. The logical source of .p roof of any contention regarding the Student Council and its members would have been the Council's record. Of course, you wouldn't do this because it defeat your purpose of knocking the Council. Had you taken the trouble to do so, you would have found the record of the Student Council unblemished by failure in any undertaking. For example, let us consider the case of the budget discussed by the Council in September of 1955. The entire matter was handled so smoothly and so efficiently that many students could not understand why it had been a problem in the past. The Council members, in working towarq tl}eir goal of rep.resentiiig their constituents, were responsible £or the efficiency. As another example, let us consider this year's Winter Carnival. I know that I am backed by a majority of those who attended when I say that it was one of the best we can recall. Another Council Success. Space does not permit me to speak of the others. The record stnds for itself. But, of course, Dave, you wouldn't look at the record, as I said before, it would defeat your purpose. - WILKES COLLEGE - Beacon A newspaper published each week of the regular school year by and for the students of Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

Myers Baseball Coach John Reese, interviewed Wednesday, was optimistic about the chances for this year's diamond crew. The team as a whole is young, with plenty of experienced pitching. Also, there is more depth at every position. A TIP OF THE FALK HAT Well, both teams made it through the season in one piece. Maybe, ;he grapplers could have even waded through a few more opponents the way they were coming on with a rush at the end of the year, but we ioubt if the cagers could ever have taken the floor for another game. rhe hoop season was just too darn long. Starting back somewhere around the beginning of December, the basketball team plowed through 27 tilts with 15 of them coming · on the road. It was just too much for some of them. Remember, there were a few vacations spliced into the hoop season, and the long schedule complete with layoffs did more harm than good. They were tired at the end of the season - yet they were dead game. We don't •t hink Wilkes will ever have a gamer .bunch of guys on ;he court at one time than it had this year in the likes of Jimbo Ferris, Toe Jablonski, Carl Van Dyke, Bob -Sokol, Shawn Bresnahan, George Morgan - and all the crew who were rea"dy when needed. Perhaps few people realize that this team, even though they had a losing season, racked up as many wins as another Wilkes court team. AND THEY WON ONLY TWO TILTS ON THE ROAD ALL YEAR! Not enough can be said about the wrestling team. The one blot on its record is nothing to be ashamed of.. Let's face it! Bloom prob!Lbly has more to hide about that match than we do. And speaking of ~ameness, don't ever forget Neil Dadurka continually wrestling out of his class with nary a complaint; Sam Shugar's almost amazing comeback; Bob Masonis losing 30 pounds to make 177 a few times; or any of the guys who kept going despite injuries and hunger problems.

Club Publicity Ordered To Chase Hall P.R.O. SENIOR VOTE DUE ON GIFT THURSDAY AT CLASS MEETING Faculty .Volunteers Honor Committee 48 WC Education Majors Now Practice Teaching �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 2 EDITORIAL - Coals to Newcastle Well, they're trying to start another one. As if the campus were not already over-run with a sufficiently confusing myriad of organizations, the Student Council has been backing another one of late. This time it happens to be what is probably the logical conclusion - if not reduction to an absurdity - of the whole system; to wit, an organiza tion of heads of organizations. What they want to institute now is an organization of club and class presidents. This pointless aggregation is excused on th basis that it will help organizations coordinate with the Council; it just so happens tha t the club presidents a re supposed to attend C~mncil meetings to begin with, but there is really nothing impressive behind this - merely the constitution of the student body. And as to the question of representing classes, we will not insult the intelligence of our readers by belaboring the fact that the Council members a re in fact elected on a cla ss representation basis. WHO'D RUN WHO? Not only would this organization of organization heads become unwieldly, but it is difficult to . see just how the students they represent could control it beyond the level of their own organizations, and even if they could, there is little doubt that the organization would presently find itself in the condition in which so many campus organizations are now with too few forces to do too much. Moreover, with organizations of this kind, which by their membership are perforce highly influential, there is the very present danger that the group might become one source of topheavy pressure upon the political organization which in theory represents not only the few positions of leadership but also great body of those who back them. . Finally, perhaps the most cogent argument against the establishment of such a group is the simple fact that, should the organization be somehow able to correct all the flaws pointed out above, its existence would still be little more than a simple example of useless duplication; it would be. another Student Council. And for all its blunders and floundenngs, one Student Counc;il is quite enough for one campus. P.R. Office Completes New Photographic Lab A completely phot ographic laboratory is t he Public Relations Departm ent's m ost recent aid in its endeavor to bring the do ings of Wilkes College before the public's eye. The photo lab, locat ed in the basement of Chase Hall, is now as well equipped and as efficient a s most photo labs in this area, with the exception of one or two professional studios, according to John D. Curtis, Director of Publicity. All photog raphic e quipm e n t wh ich was slowly deteriorating dur. ing the last seven or eight years has been thoroug hl y r epaired . At the present time the College owns three thousand dollars worth of equipm ent including press and movie cameras, a drum drier .which is t he highest type of professional equipm ent used for pict ure drying, an enlarger, a Strobe lig ht unit which permits one fl ashbulb t o be used over and over a gain , flo odlights , and special lights used during processing . All photo s used by Wilkes a re snapped and processed by Dan• Gawlas, College photographer. The photo lab, now being used t o it s f ullest pot ential, can develop all types of pictu res except color ed and motion pictures . The latter can be developed inexpensively at an outside concern. Most impo rtant is the fac t that the photo laborator y can quickly produce all pictures needed by the Public Relations Department or by campus publicat ions.

Elliot, Act ing Dean of Men SEVEN CHARACTERS IN SEARCH OF A TEACHER On September 17, 1956 I will return to the best, if not t he oldest, profession devised by man. On that happy day I will be privileged to gaze once again upon the familiar yawning f aces of our eager and ambitious C. & F. students. Among them, moreover, will be certain types that appear in classes g eneration after generation . 1. The "I Think The Tea cher's A Genius" Type: Th.i s character is r ecognized by his bobbing head, which seek s to indicate that every word the t eacher utters is a glistening gem. He agrees wit h coughs, sneezes, wheezes, mis-stat ements; ever ything. N eedless to say, this gu y needs a B average in order to graduate. 2. The " I Think Th e Tea cher Stinks" Type: This charact er won't even admit that the roll taking was correct. He fail ed the course the first time, and you can 't prove by him that the teacher isn't pre judiced. He sucks on a lemon befor e class in order to sustain for fifty minutes a look of proper di sdain. 3. The "We Just Found Love" Type: This type requires two students of opposite sex. They are most often observable in earl y Spring, and t heir flushed fa ces suggest miles of hiking along the river bank. All t he teacher ever sees of t hem is a profile view, a lt houg h a st range giggle can oft en be heard. 4. The " Tonsil Displa y" Type : All t his guy asks is a comfortable seat, and common cour t esy demands that t he teacher disturb him as little as possible. H e fig hts his enveloping drowsiness for five minutes, and his raw coura ge is wonderful t o observe. 5. The " Curious Scholar" Type : This fe llow likes to ask questions concerning f ootnotes in Cha pter 23 at a ti me when t he class is still plodding t hrough Cha pter 4. Thi s type is very popular with hi s teachers, who in a ll probability haven 't even read the fi rst chapter yet. 6. The "Huh ?" Type: This charact er was born in a state of conf usion and has been lost ever since. After six weeks he discovers tha t he signed up for the wrong course. He was beginning to wonder what r elationship demand curves ha d to P ersonal Use Typewriting anyway. 7. The "Wolf " Type : This guy likes any g irl from six to sixt y, particularly those who wear sweater s. He picks a strategic spot in the room so that he can observe any passing limb inside or outside the class. He keeps a copy of Gonfidential Magazine in his notebook for those odd moments when he feels in the mood to study. 11111111111111111111111111,1.mm,_111111111111111 On September 17th I will greet each of these types, as w~ll as· t'·I"'" . all tbe students, with enthusiasm and affection.

PRESS BOX By GEQ~GE ELLIOT (Pinch-hitting for Jonni Falk) A HORSE AND BUGGY PHILOSOPHY ON ATHLETICS : . ' ·; As my stomach expat1ds, as my hairline reced~s, and as I watch my bowling average sink lower each week I become sadly conscious of the facts of Id age'. I notice that more and more my thoughts turn to proper diet and to plotting the regularity of bwel moveyµ~nts. This, they tell me, is a sure sign of a person tobogganing piaply ~ovmwar<l qn the othF side of the hill. I ayµ 11,lso -b eginning to worir:ler wheth¢r I am not becoming just a little dated and old-fashioned in spme pf ~Y ideas an4 philosophies. Has the world chan~ed so much from the era of Frank Meniwell to that of Stilt Chamberlain? Three weeks ago an athletic scandal erupted at one of the prominent Far Western ·universities. This was not just one of those expected day to day occurrences merely involving convertibles, doctored grade records, lavish expense accounts, or a high salaried campus job feeding migrating grosbeaks. This was an internal struggle for power. Players were being paid by one side to play and by the other side to lie down on the job. The backfield coach conveniently forgot to give the players certain inst.ructions. The powerful alumni association applied monetary pressure in support of those dissident players who opposed the coach's disciplinary action. From the ~ig Ten to thePacific Coast League to the Southwest ·conference the "amateur athletes" of America expressed their shocked dismay at such a breach of professional ethics. A man ought to at Elliot least know what he is being paid for and by whom! I am old fashioned enough to believe that there is something wonderful about late Autumn weekends and the traditional game between Unknown Tech and my alma mater. I am old fashioned enough to believe that there can be more real excitement and lasting memories in a game, however amateurish, played by fellows I recognize as my classmates than there could ever be in a coliseum extravaganza involving imported behemoths. I am old fashioned enough to believe that there should not be the relationship between scholarship assistance and athletic participation which seems to reduce a given football game to a sort of contractual business engagement between school and student. ATHLETICS A PART OF EDUCATION What really marks me as a remnant of horse and buggy philosophy is a feeling that athletic participation is a necessary and vitally important part of any person's general education. I am one who still believes that a student:athlete will be a more complete person of stronger character and potential than the non-athlete. I believe that the lessons o:/' group cooperation and of self-sacrifice that one learns on the athletic field c.a n be of much greater izp.pprtance than mere textbook learning. In fact, I feel sorry for the individu11l who foregoes sports activity, because I tl}j?}k that he l:i11s missed something of lasting impprtance. In summ.ary, I ):>elieve. that the time and. energy that a trµe amateur athlete puts into his sports p.ctivity will pay him back several times over in making of him. a stronger, II)Ore adaptable, and more dependable MiteS., (~-6). human personality.

The varsity got the evening off to a poor start by dropping the initial game, 37 to 21, in a fast moving contest. Barbara Vavrek was high scorer for the varsity with 9 points. In the jayvee encounter, the Wilkes women surprised everyone by coming from behind in the second half to defeat the Reading lassies, 28-15. Captain Bernie Vidunas credited the victory to the fine work of the guards who allowed only two points to be scored in the second half while the Colonelettes were piling up 19. Vidunas scored over half of the Wilkes total with 16 points.. Marion Klawonn was next with 8. Karen Karmelowicz and Judy ,B odkin did a fine job at center setting up plays for the other forwards. Karmelowicz also starred at the free throw line collecting 4 points. The guards who did such admirable defensive work were: Dolly Dombrowski, Judy Tabasco, Ginny Wallizer, Mim Thompson, and Pat Reed. Dombrowski, Tabasco and W allizer are new players for the Colonelettes. The game marked a new era in women's basketball at Wilkes as the College has never had a jayvee team before. The game gives the junior cagers a chace to try out their skills - basketball that is! The Colonelettes play their final game of the season at Moravian on March 17. By Cliff Kobland Going into the final week of actien for the grapplers, heavyweight Bob Masonis is leading his teammates in scoring. Big Bob, in his senior year at Wilkes, has compiled 34 points to date. Trailing close behind is l)on Reynolds with 30 points and Dave Thomas with 28. Masonis is also leading in falls with five.

Serving under Moser on the committee will be Waren Glass, Bill Duffy, ,Patricia Yo st, Elaine Williams, Alice Milligan, and Marion Klawonn . Ernst and Lorrie Walfisch re- turned to the Wilkes College auditorium Tuesday for their annual viola-piano recital. The Walfisches have recently returned from a concert totrr in Europe where they appeared at the summer music festival at Prague. Mr. Walfisch is a violist and is accompanied by his wife at the piano. Their -f irst selection was a Sonata by Johann Sebastian Bach in four parts. Mrs. W alfisch commented on the fact that, contradictory to popular belief, Bach's music is not highbrow and unaccessable but can be most inspiring and entertaining. For their second selection the Walfisches chose Minuet and Allegro in two parts by Joseph Haydn. Since 1956 marks the 100th birthday of Robert Schumann, the Walfisches played his "Adagio and Allegro". This seemed to be more. enjoyable to the audience than the previous selections . The next piece was Intermezzo from an opera by Spanish composer Granadis. This was an extremely lovely composition. In memory of Georges Enesco, the famous violinist who died last year, the Walfisches played his "Concert piece for Viola and Piano." However, time ran out on the duo before they fimshed this selection and they concluded with "Green Sleeves", the English folk song traditionally said to have been composed by Alan a Dale, one of Robin Hood's followers. The selections ranged from the strict classical type to ro mantic and modern music. The Walfisches seem ed to be so engrossed in their music that much pleasure could be gained from watching their enjoyment.

Miss Ruth Bishop, who prepares the lists for mailing, stated that she will ha ve about half of the grades in the mails sometime today and the remainder on Monday. sophomores vOIe 0nMemor1aIF·un d EarIy Th is spring · ■ George Elliot, Dean of Men, and Russ Picton, Alumni Secretary, met · h :-c· h wit tne sop omore c1a ss recent1Y to discuss the possibilities of estab- h' " h Cl f M 1is mg t e ass O 1958 emorial Fund", The program, announced to class members by president Dave Vann, is a plan that will enable class members to begin thinking ahead now for the gift the class will present to the college a s seniors. A ccor d'mg to t h e program set up by the executive council of the class, each class member will be taxed one dollar per semester throughout his remaining years •at the college. However, acceptance or rejection of the plan will be left entirely to the class when they vcte for or against it early this spring. Money will be put in a fund called "The Class of 1958 Memorial Fund" and will be used for multiple purposes. It is anticipated that the plan may eventually result in a room of a building or,.even a building. It . may also be used to help future Wilkes College students through scholarship grants. As alumni, the present sophomores will always make their contributions to this particular fund rather than to a general fund. The members of the class will always · h ow t h e have the power to decide accumulated savings will be used. Administration Will Help The college administration has agreed to help in the project by doing the paper and clerical work. The bill of each sophomore will be increased by one dollar each semester and at the end of the semester, with the administrati, n presenting the class with an accurate account of the money iu the fund. Each sophomore is urged to give considerable thought to the plan and to consult class officers or members of the executive council to answer any question con.::erning the program or to contribute helpful advice or criticism on the p1:ogram. One advantage of the fund, pointed out by Alumni Secretary Picton, is that the fund . will continue in existence as long as there is one surviving member of the class. While results of the fund might not be spectacular in the more immediate futur e, he explained, it would be upon such small beginnings that an effC'ctive and substantial Alumni fund ,vould eventually be built. After graduation of the cla ss, solicitation of the fund would be handled by the Alumni office in con junction with the class ot'ficers, and with the money used a s specifie d by the class rather than the administration. Both Wilkes and King's won four and lost two, both were awarded similar trophies, although Wilkes had the hig her point total. This was due to a difference of interpretation of the classification "novice". Dr. Arthur N. Kruger, Wilkes debate coach, interpreted "novice" to be a first-y ear debater, while the other view was that a "novice" would be one who had not participated in varsity competition. The question was equitably resolved by judging the contest a tie instead of counting Wilkes the winner on points, as would _ otherwise have happened. The Wilkes no vice team was composed of Tom Lally, Bruce Warshal, Seymour Holtzman and Fred Roberts. Roberts, who was first speaker of the tournament, on the basis of being first speaker in each of his three debates, was the hub of the controversy, since, althougl:.. a freshman, he has debated in varsity competition. Wilkes defeated Scranton and King's, then Misericordia twice for its four wins, lost to Marywood. Misericordia, Scranton, and Marywood each had two teams in the competition, making a total of eight t eams. Warshal and Roberts were outstanding for the Wilkes team, debating second affirmative and second negative, respectively. Warshal was rated superior in every round and had the highest point total of the 32 participants, earning 79 out of a possible 90 points. Roberts, with two superior ratings in three rounds and 76 points, was a close second. It was the second successive week in which Wilkes debate teams have brought home trophies. At the ohns Hopkins Tourney, February 5, John Bucholtz and Jesse Choper took the third place trophy, were edged out by Princeton in competition with 28 of the leading colleges and universities in the East. The first-place trophy won last week, the Noel Chabanel A ward, is in the form of a hardwood gavel emblazened with a sterling silver plate. It is the twelfth trophy won by Wilkes debaters in the last two seasons, even though the present season is less than half completed. Wilkes t ea ms are scheduled to enter at least six more tournaments, the next being the Boston University Invitation Tournament, February 24-25, which draws about 30 of the nation's leading teams every year. Dr. Arthur N. Kruger, who is vice president of the Debating Association of Pensylvania Colleges, picks Choper and Bucholtz to represent Wilkes at t his important tourney. Warshal also will compete there in an oratory event with a n original oration on Israel. �2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIALS- I The REPRESENTATIVES OF INDUSTRY TO VISIT "Any Report of My Death ..."

FOUR MORRISES STUDY AT WC council of the club. Somebody's Thinking Again We see that the Inter-Dormitory Council has appointed a committee to better acquaint incoming dormitory students with the College next September. The committee hopes to introduce the freshmen to the campus next Fall with a series of social events to run in conjunction with those that run normally as part of the orientation program. It used to be that the dormitories took most of the blame (deserved or not) for the annual asininity that usually is connected with hazing around here, and it's another step forward for the College 'when they help quash that stigma with a constructive program thought out ahead of time. The appointment and plans of the committee go to show that, despite those who reduce the Fall season at the College to a round of high school pranks, these things can be handled rationally. TDR To Hold Holiday Tea Theta Delta Rho will sponsor its annual Washington Day Tea on Wednesday from 3 to 5 P.M. in McClintock Hall. The purpose of the social event is to acquaint girls from many of the local high schools with life at Wilkes College. The women of T.D.R. will help the high school girls by acting as hostesses. Mrs. John Doane, Dean of Women, will be present to greet the girls and will give a brief talk on "college life". Campus tours will be organiized and con_ducted so that the guests will see all the interesting places on campus. General chairman of the affair is Nancy Morris. She has chosen the following committee chairmen: Mary West, food; Ruth Younger, hostess; Patricia Reese, invitations; Germaine Astolphi, campus tours ; Rita Matescilla, house committee; Emma Minemier, clean-up. - WILKES COLLEGE - Beacon A newspaper published each week of the regular school year by and for the students of Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

Science Students Plan For Temple Conference by Jerome Stein Preparations are now being made by the Biology and Chemistry departments to attend the Tenth Annual Eastern Colleges Science Conference. Members from both departments will journey to Temple University in April to participate . in this affair. The Eastern Colleges Science Conference, organized at Vassar College in 194'7,, was designed to stimulate interest in research among undergraduate students in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics and Psychology. The conference, held each Spring, invites colleges of the eastern United States and Canada. It affords opportunities for the students of these schools to exchange ideas and to discuss contemporary and traditional scientific problems. Students present original research papers ·and participate in discus-sions concerning new developments in their respective fields. This year, the Conference will be held at Temple University in Philadelphia on AprH 6 and 7. About thirty representatives are expected to attend. Last year, the conference was held at Seton Hall University in South Orange, N. J., at which about twenty-five representatives from Wilkes attended . Wilkes was one out of seventy-nine participating colleges. Highlights of the Conference included research papers, talks by guest speakers, tours o.f various scientific centers, and a banquet-dance f o r participating m embers. ' Similar highlights are expected this year. Washington took the hurricane in stride. After all, it is used to big winds. :~.~ f~(~ :':tt The Morrises of Forty Fort, all four of them Wilkes students, are being billed as one of the most educated families anywhere in the Valley.

Another King and Queen of Hearts were crowned at the Theta Delta Rho semi-formal last Friday night. The Queen, chosen by a drawing of numbered ticket stubs, was Miss Joyce Fink; the King, h e r escort, Ronnie Tremayne, Wilkes sophomore. The royal couple was chosen during intermission ceremonies. Miss Fink was crowned with a coronet of yellow roses by the sorority president, Bernice Thomas. The Queen was also presented with a large bouquet of red roses and many gifts donated by local merchants. The King and Queen danced the first dance after intermission to the music of Frankie Reynold's orchestra. The crowning ceremonies took place midst decorations in a Valentine motif. The canopy was pink and blue, accented by a backdrop of dark blue with a striking white tree bedecked with red hearts. Nosegays of red roses surrounded by lace doilies were the table fa. vors. The escorts were given Wilkes College ball-point pens as mementoesof the dance. Dr. and Mrs. Doane headed the receiving line, which included Mr. and Mrs. Robert Moran, dance chairman Geri Kolotelo and her escort, Howard Griss, TDR President Bernice Thomas, and her escort, Jim Benson. Taking a breather between dances are Joseph Ungvarsky, Mary Zavatski, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Zavada, Harry Ennis and Gwen Jones. CARPENTER RESIGNS THE MAN WHO READ AS CHEM CLUB HEAD; OVER 15 0 BEACONS UTRIAS NEW PREXY ENJOYED ALL OF THEM After leading the Wilkes College Chemical Society for the past year, Dick Carpenter has resigned for personal reasons, and Monica Utrias, the Club's vice-president from McClintock Hall, moves into the top position in the organization. The vacancy thus left in the vicepresident's office will be filled by an election this week. In other Bio Club administrative matters, Frank Lutinski, Plymouth junior, has been chosen to represent his class on the Club's executive council. Last week the club members viewed a sound film, produced by Shell Oil Company, depicting the many and varied products obtained from petroleum. Another is scheduled for next week, tentatively at noon Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, and will be a three-part story of "Corrosion in Action". The chemists are busily preparing for their part in the forthcoming Science Show on March 2 and 3. The scheme involves an Industries Pageant, with an exhibit o.f such products as plastics and textiles, and also the demonstration of several experiments in physical and other branches of chemistry. Immediately after the show, the· members of the club will commence work on the "ACS Meeting in Miniature" of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Chemical In his four-year stay at Wilkes the average senior has seen quite a few Beacons come and go, some of them he has read, some he has skimmed over and some he has passed by. He has that choice. In th e mechanical department of the Beacon, however, is a man who has read every word of every Beacon including headlines and ads, for the past five years. He has no choice .. .. This fellow who some of us might be inclined to pity is not desirous of our sympathy, he enjoys reading the Beacon and usually looks forward to a new issue before the ink is dry on an issue rolling from the presses. The man is Ed Schmidt, and he can usually be found smilingly peering up from the linotype at Schmidt's Printery, greeting all Society, composed of delegates from the comparable groups of the colleges in the vicinity. This scholarly gathering will witness the presentation of papers by st u d en ts of the participating schools. Further ahead in the plans of the Chemistry Club are the big Eastern Intercollegiate Science Confere nce at Temple University in April and a joint outing in Ma y with our fellow chemists of Misericordia, King's, and Scranton. who enter. Ed estimates he has read about 155 ·B eacons. He has worked with 5 different editors and has come through it all with his perpetual smile. The editors at Wilkes can't be such a bad lot after all. Every piece of copy written by Beacon reporters passes through the hands of Ed. He reads it, out on the linotype keyboard (similar to typewriting) and then rereads copy that proof readers have marked for mistakes. Helpful, personable Ed will tell you matter-of-factly he enjoys knowing what is going on at Wilkes. He thinks the school's amateur jounalists have come up with some good copy over the years and the editors have been able to put it all together in some attractive, eye-catching formats. In addition, he boasts that the editors, through their few years on the staff, receive advanced technical training because of their time spent on-the-job in the mechanical department. It's training which the average journalism student doesn't receive. Ed's knowledge of the doings at Wilkes does not end with the Beason. He also reads and sets copy for football programs, basketball iformation, school brochures, and the "Alumnus". Think about it if you haven't already .... Printers are pretty-well informed people, and especially Ed Schmidt about Wilkes College, si nce he reads almost every word of printed matter that the College produces. Chosen as this year's King and Queen of Hearts were Joyce Fink, Nanticoke, and her escort, Ronnie Tremayne, Nanticoke. Selection of the royal pair was made during intermission. LIBRARY RECEIVES MUSIC AND FINE ARTS AW ARD The Association of College and Reference Libraries, acting for the United States Steel Foundation, Inc., forwarded a check for $300 to the library of Wilkes College for purchase of books in Music and Fine Arts. This gift is the result of a questionnaire sent to the library. Over 400 colleges competed and only 20 percent were chosen, among them Wilkes College.

With a winning season already wrapped up, the Colonels by Cliff Kobland The Wilkes cagers move to Williamsport, Pa. tomorrow night to engage the Warriors of Lycoming College for the second meeting of the season between the two schools. Earlier this season, Wilkes beat the Warriors in the local gym by the score, 91-79. The Colonels will be looking for win number one ·on the road again after suffering 10 defats away from home. Lycoming will be trying to even up the series after suffering a bad defeat last time these two clubs met. In the last meeting, ~Big' George Morgan was the big gun for the Blue and Gold with 24 points. Carl Van Dyke, certainly one of the most outstanding guards in Eastern Pennsylvania Colleges, scored 19 points. The big gun for the Warriors not only in the Wilkes clash but against all other Lycoming opponents is a 6-1 forward by the name of Al Wilson. He scored 36 points against Wilkes last time and will be the man the Colonels have to stop to beat the Warriors again. As in most of the previous games, this date the Colonels will have to be the smaller club on the floor. Although Lycoming does not have such a great height advantage as did some of the other Blue and Gold opponents. But as it was shown in the last game between these two schools, the Colonels can still hold their own with taller opponents when it comes to rebounding. In the last game, Wilkes hit an amazing 80 percent from the free throw line. From the floor, in the last meeting with the Warriors, Lycoming clogged the middle so Wilkes hit from the outside. When Lycoming would come out and press them, Wilkes would drive. All in all, it was one of the best games of the year for the Colonels and they hope they can repeat.

Hutchison , retired county agricultural agent, spoke to members of the Biology Club Tuesday night, in the Lecture Hall, on the "Farmers' Problem from the Effect of Insects". Mr. Hutchison, who retired last year after 35 years as a county agent, brought the grim realities of pest control to light for the biologists. The insecticides referred to as "wonder bug killers" in our modern era often create more probl ems for the farmer than they solve because they kill off the natural e nemies of many insects while the y are removing from existence the one pest being aimed at. Mr. Hutchison stated one instance in the county where a total of 14 insecticides was required to do a particular job. An ever pre.s ent problem, Mr. Hutchison added, is that insects seem to build up a resistance to various poisons after a very short time. The farmer therefor e, must begin to think in terms of a n ew insecticide not very long after he finds one that will solve the probl em at hand. He knows the problem will soon recur. Because of the increasing technicalities in farming the good farmer of today must be an entomologist, chemist, biologist, and magician, to keep his farm producing, the speaker added. Mr. Hutchison now conducts a daily radio program on WILK for farmers. After his talk he spoke with many of the club members informally and answered questions on the plight of the small farmer today, and what price supports are doing to the nationwide farmer si• tuation. JORDAN Est. 1871 - ..,, Another Wilkes College figure stepped into the limelight in the l~cal_ press this :week wit~ the begmn_m g of a ~enes of articles concernmg a serious problem locally. The articles, written for the Wilkes-Barre Record, morning paper of the Wilkes-Barre Publishing Company, are being written by Dr. Hugo Mailey, chairman of the Wilkes Political Science Department, and carry Dr. Mailey's · byline. In the series, the Wilkes professor and leader in civic improvements for Greater Wilkes-Barre, is discussing the current subject of sewage disposal in this area, regarding the state's demands that disposal plants be erected in line with its clean streams program. Dr. Mailey, a leader in civic affairs since coming to Wilkes and Wyoming Valley, has · distinguished himself in getting to the root of many of the area's problems and then setting the. right people about the task of helping to solve them. He was instrumental in setting up courses for local officials in many categories h ere at Wilkes and in planning special conferences through which Wilkes College has been able to play a large role in aiding the revitalization culturally and economicall y of Northeastern Pennsylvania. The most recent previous effort of Dr. Mailey was the community re:development_ conference at the Wilkes cafeteria, at which top redevelopment experts in the state lectured and offered ways and show~d means toward finding and solvmg re:development problems. At that tlm~, Rep. J?aniel J. _Flood lauded ~1lk:s for its efforts m the commumty mterest.

JUNIORS HOLD MEETING An item of major interest and concern at a recent Junior Class meeting was the apparent nonchalant attitude toward attendance despite the co-operation of both the club presidents and the Student Council. · Les Weiner suggested th e possibility that the class members do not realize the necessity or importan ce of supporting their officers, and to eliminate that possibility asked that a letter be sent to all members.

I. Myers The Wilkes College debating team walked off with third place honors in the Johns Hopkins Invitational debating tournament in Baltimore last weekend. _Jn the semi-finals a strong St. Peters team narrowly edged out the Wilkes duo of Jesse Choper and John Bucholtz to go into the finals against Princeton. The ever-effective Princeton team beat St. Peter's in the finals to gain their second win in three years. Princeton finished second to Wilkes last year. The Wilkes team captured the third place trophy in the competition, which included 28 of the top schools in debate circles. The final round matched St. Peter's and WHkes. In a tightly contested match, the St. Peter's team, which finished second, defeat- ed Wilkes, 4'8·-47.

Hammer returned to the campus today after spending the week in Lewisburg, P ennsylvania, as a member of a Middle States Evaluation Committee which examined Lewisburg High School. Dr. Hammer, head of th e education department at Wilkes, was asked by the chairman of the Mi9dle States Com mittee to serve as a roving moderator and coordinator at Lewisburg. He worked with several groups of evaluators insuring that all courses at the high school were examined and graded on an equal level. In Dr. Hammer's absence, his adva nced classes in Education met with Mr. Francis E. Truscott, principal of Coughlin High School. The classes conducted a mock MSA evaluation similar to the one Dr. Hammer was engaged in. by Janice Schuster Wilkes College freshmen a re growing up. In fact, one has proved to possess more masculinity than any other male on campus. He is Bill Stewart, first-prize winner of the sophomore sponsored beard contest which culminated at the class' hoedown last F riday night. Another freshman, Al Jones, added another feat her to the froshs' <links when he walked off with the second prize for g rowing the best beard. Ho wever, the sophomores, who ran the contest, couldn't be slighted either. Two of their class representatives gained possession of the third and fourth prizes, one for the best mustache and the other for the nicest peach-fuzz. Judges for the affair, Congressman Dan Flood, TV entertainer Hal Berg, and Wilkes' own Bob Moran, leader of the Coll ege band, did not have too much difficulty deciding who had the best combination when they selected Stewart, since his growth was by far the most unruly. Al Jones came out on top even though he had very close competition with Larry Groninger, Fred Kroh!e, and Cliff Brothers. The most difficult decision for the judges came when they had to select the best mustache, inasmuch' as practically every mustache contestant was worthy of a prize. The large crowd in attendance was very t ense waiting to hear the announcement which finally revealed that the judges had chosen Mulcahy. Mulcahy provided atmosphere to the dance by wearing his hair in the style popular in the days of the famous barber shop quartettes, namely with a center part. Only Puma was able to out-do him by wearing a bright and fancy yellow vest and a shoestring-style bow tie. The beard contest was not the only feature of the dance, for the sophs had composed their own beard song which was s ung by Ted Jones, Dave Vann, John Stahl, all sophomores . By winning the contest, Stewart has gained possession of a solid metal beer mug and he will immortaliz e the masculinity of Wilkes College for his name has been engraved on the trophy, the coveted object for which the contestants vied. The contest will be a tradition with the Class of 1958 and each year the winner of the contest will have his name engraved on the trophy µnder that of Stewart's. �2 Friday, February 10, 1956 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIALS- Two Down ...

Although they led by only 2 points at half time, their attack started clicking in the third and fourth quarters to give them a 50 to 31 win over the Yankees. Gendall, Lane, and Wea ver with 13, 12, and 10 points r espectively paced their team to the victory. No one on the Yankee t eam was able to score in double figures. In one of the other games the Crew Cuts looked like a different team as they won their game from the EP ARS, 69 to 52. Their full court press earned them a 21 point half time lead, which was too great a deficit for the EP ARS to overcome. A full bench enabled them to maintain a faster pace, with rested players, than the EPARS who were forced to substitute sparingly. Bill Tremayne was high scorer in the game with 23 points. Rahl, Allen, and Pavlick did the bulk of the scoring for the Crew Cuts. The Globetrotters, who drew a bye in last week's competition, lost to W eckesser in the third game. Poor first and fourth qua-rters, in which they amassed only twelve points contributed to their downfall. first part of the twin-bill, are eager to get back on the winning track after last week's mortifying debacle with Bloomsburg. John Reese is planning a slight adjustment in his lineup to meet Ithaca strength. Bob Masonis, usually in the heavyweight class, has been busy all week shedding some 30 pounds in order to make the limit for the 177-pound clas. If the need occurs, Neil Dadurka will wrestle heavyweight. Don Reynolds is nu-rsing an arm infection which shouldn't hamper the "Tiger" in his 137-pound bout. The rest of the matmen are in good shape. Ithaca has won only one match while losing four, but have always been trnublesome in the past. Rebuilding this year, the Bombers have met some of the best wrestling schools in the east. Their only win came over East Stroudsburg, who also fell before the Colonels.

The Huskies will have two of the best scorers in the C<mference in their lineup in Len Kozick and Keith Weiser. Kozick, a Dallas boy, r anks third in the conference in scoring, while Weiser is fifth. Their rebounding strength lies with Harrison Morson, a 220-pound linebacker in football.

Even though his team beat the Huskies, Rupp informed Reese that he is doing some investigation which will show that Cawthern attended classes at Millersville and thus, would be ineligible. At least some of the Statesupported schools believe in playing it square. The clincher came Saturday afternoon when a young lady called "The Sunday Independent" office and inquired about Cawthe'rn's. match with Jim Ward. She was led into making a statement that Cawthern did attend Millersville la-st year and had entered Bloom in September. The young lady was Cawthern's true love. THE OTHER FRACAS The same article in the "Enterprise" also had something to say about the forfeit which caused Don Reynold's first loss of the year. "Blair (the Bloom coach) refused Beilharz to continue without a doctor's check-up. Yesterday it was reported that Beilharz still could not lift his right arm high and that he was scheduled for x-ray examination today." Today would mean Monday. Let's examine this quickly. First of all, Beilharz was heard to plainly tell the coach that he was OK and wanted to continue. Time would never have been taken out if Wilkes coach John Reese had not suggested it. Finally, if this boy was hurt so severely, why did . they wait until Monday to take x-rays. The injury occurred at about 2 :30 Saturday afternoon, and the effects were evidently felt in time to prevent the boy from continuing. Oh yes, the Bloom story in the "Enterprise" said that Beilharz could not lift his right arm very high. This is all very good. Maybe he can't. But the hold that was called illegal was on the left arm! Maybe it was a misprint. THE BIG SHOW The fact that Bloomsburg's basketball team is on the card for Saturday night's big double-header should make it an interesting evening. Reports from down the line indicate that just about the entire Teachers' campus is going to be here as a result of the hectic wrestling match last Saturday. Now, if there are more Bloom rooters in the stands than Wilkes, it is going to make us look mighty silly indeed. The truth is that there were more people rooting for the Bloom grapplers last Saturday than for Wilkes. The showing of the dorm students at the Lafayette game was very heartening to the players and the press. We can't remember the night when there was so much noise at a Wilkes athletic event. It was fun and it was encouraging. However, if 90 percent of the dorm students can get out for a game, why can't 50 percent of the day students ? If this twin bill falls through after it was designated as a "booster night," then we might just as well play all our games on the road. The attraction is a natural. The slate has Ithaca against our matmen; and Bloomsburg in another Wilkes Colle~e appearance which could ' ·····- into a grudge match. Ithaca is rated as the second best team on the Wilkes mat schedule and the grapplers are still burning over last Saturday's mess. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 6 DEBATERS PLACE (continued from pag& ll Smlith College Poll Finds ..... 83% Favor Honor System Friday, February 10, 1956 Touring the Clubs n ew officer s of their F .T.A.

That, at least, is how it ought to be; whether that is how it was last Thursday might be another question. To all appearances, the group at the affair last week was the usual minority that seems to dominate and monopolize so many of the campus social events. In short, the group was hardly representative of the average student on campus. WHO BENEFITS? The Carnival is financed by the Student Activities Fund a fund utilizing the money of all the students - and is hence supposedly for the benefit of at least the majority, if not all of the students. Unhappily, it all too frequently appears that most of such benefits are reaped by the comparative few, by small groups of imitation aristocrats and ill-mannered oafs who seem to over-dominate most affairs, and last week's Carnival was a classic illustration of the situation. Quite evident at the Carnival were many of the pseudoaristocrats, ·a few of the generally arrogant, and all too few of the ordinary, run-of-the-campus students. It is unfortunate that such a situation has arisen. The fault lies not in the Student Council. Unluckily, the problem is not one that can be thus lightly and conveniently dropped on the shoulders of elected representatives. Rather, the problem goes beyond mere political bounds. A GROWING PROBLEM The situation so bluntly spotlighted by last week's affair 'is one that has been slowly growing over the past few years. It has been more or less fashionable of late to ignore the growing separation between ordinary students and those who style themselves campus Leaders, but when the problem begins to reach the point where they and another ill-mannered few begin to dominate affairs beyond the bounds of reason and propriety, then it seems about time that someone stopped to look at just what these people are doing. Certainly, what has been going on of late is hardly to the benefit of the student body as a whole; neither has it provided an accurate reflection of their attitudes when the actions of these minorities have been visible to the community. The problem, then, is not a comparatively simple one to be solved by Council resolutions or other political action - it is rather a social one, one the students must recognize and solve by themselves. Hahnemann Hosp. Medical S c h o oI Accepts Lucchino David B. Lucchino, senior Biology student, learned last Friday that he has been accepted for the Hahnemann Hospital School of Medicine in Philadelphia, Pa. In a letter from the school, Lucchino was informed that he has, satisfactorily m et the requirements for entrance and will be admitted in September of this year. Lucchino is the president of the Wilkes College Biology Club, an organization in which he has been active for some time. He is also a member of the Senior Council, representing the scientists of his class, and has been active in intramural s-p orts for the past two years. Lucchino's acceptance marks another step towa\·d the fulfillment of his lifelong ambition-a career in medicine. He has not decided on a specialty as yet, but feels that it may be surgery. The son of Mr. and Mrs. David S. Lucchino of 229 Barney Street, Wilkes-Barre, Lucchino is a 195~ graduate of Meyers High School.

Representative possible. Student Council Letters lo the Editor Dear Editor: Les Weiner, in the last Beacon issue, said in his letter to the editor, "I and my associates considered this a ct unreasonable," etc. This implies that all of his associates on the Student Council agreed with him on an issue concerning an article of clothing which was harmed during and as a result of fre shman hazing. This is not ,t rue. I am taking issue, not with whether a given act is considered unreasonable, but rather L es' position (and nearly all of the Student Council's) that w e, on the Student Council, need not be concerned by the small problem of setting precedents. What it actually amounts to is a personal opinion based upon one's own philosophy of student government. One needs to decide whether a decision based on a n earlier incident would be a fair instrument by which to make a decision on a lat er similar incident. To be more specific, would or would not the decision that it is unreasonable to put green dye on someone's hair, help the council make a decision in the futur e as to whether it is unreasonable to smear someone's fa ce with lipstick or to cause them to carry their books in pails. If you accept this a s so, then you have admitted that hazing is unrea sonable. Well, the Student Council did say that it was unreasonable to put green dye on someone's hair, and conveniently forgot all · the other "reasonabl~" acts that a:re common to hazing. L~s excused the Student Council for this by saying that because we are not a court of law, and because everyone on · the Student Council has common._sense, and because we have a constitution, ·we do not need the help ·of past decisions by which to guide us in making future ones.

The latest feather in the cap of the CoJlege came with the announcement that the Regional Olympic Wrestling tryouts will be held here in mid-April. Announcement was made last week by John Drummond, chairman of the National Olympic By HELEN M. KRACHENFELS Wrestling Committee. The Student Council held its Student Council to Aid Scholarship Selection The disclosure was made at a time when the cheers had hardly subsided from the wrestling tournament held at Wilkes during the Christmas holidays, tabbed the "Rose Bowl of Wrestling" by many sports writers. This year's tournament brought entrants from as far west as Michigan, south to Tennessee, and north into New England. · Mr. Drummond telegramed Mr. George Ralston, Dean of Men, now on leave to Columbia University to earn his doctorate, that the Olympic Regionals were slated to be held at Wilkes on April 13-14. In Mr. Ralston's absence Mr. Fran~ Walp, supervising principal of Forty Fort schools, will act as local director and coordinator. Mr. Walp announced he will meet with John Reese, Wilkes wrestling coach, and other faculty members in the Guidance Building on Monday to draw up detailed plans. H e said try-outs for both free style and Greco-Roman wrestling will be held. The tryout will be held in the Wilkes gymnasium and will draw the top scholastic wrestlers from the states of Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New York. , Local officials stated that the reason for the choice of Wilkes lay partially in the great enthusiasm shown here four years ago when a benefit wrestling tournament was held to raise money for the Olympic Fund. Raymond Swartz of the U. S. Naval Academy and coach of the Olympic mat team that year praised Wilkes highly for its efforts in conducting and making the benefit show a success. regular bi-monthly meeting last Wednesday evening in the cafeteria. In addition to discussing the final arrangements for the Winter Carnival, several other matters were considered. Cliff Brothers, chairman of the Student Body Scholarship Committee reported .that the Administration has suggested that the Council committee be responsible for establishing policies for the granting of the scholarship and that machinery be set up whereby one or two Council representatives can sit with the Administrative Scholarship Committee when candidates for the scholarships are considered. Nancy Morris presented the Constitution of the Education Club for Council approval of some changes which have be.e n made in the past months. Approval was granted. Mr. Elliot, Student Council adviser, read a letter which he received from Hampton Institute requesting Wilkes' participation in a campus exchange program. They have invited a group of five Wilkes campus leaders (male) to visit their campus, and would like to send some of their students here. It was agreed that we extend an invitation for them to visit here on the weekend of April 26 and 27, and that we accept their invitation. Approval was granted for the sophomore class to hold a dance on February 3. Cliff Brothers was appointed chairman of a committee which will be established for the purpose of investigating various honor systems. Membership on this committee is voluntary and is op en to all interested students. HISTORY CLUB'S 'FINAL FLING' SQUARE DANCE AT GYM TONITE The Wilkes History Club holds its first dance tonight at 8 :30 in the College gym. Though the club's initial event, it's billed as "The Final Fling", since it's the last dance of the semester. The affair is another of the square dances that seem to be attracting more and more of a following among campus organizations in the habit of running social events to augment club treasuries. Abe Bellas ·a nd his crew are slated to provide music, with Bellas himself as caller. The dance goes on till midnight. General chairman oof the dance The Wilkes debaters are slated to go on the road tomorrow for the first time this year. Saturday's event will be the Bucknell "Good Neighbor'' tournament, rescheduled from a few weeks back. The Bucknell tournament, postponed from December 9, is the first in a series of title defenses for the debaters, who took the tourney last season. In addition to the Bucknell debate last year, Wilkes also took first speaker honors, as J. Harold Flannery Jr. took the top debater award. Speakers at the Bucknell contest tomorrow will be John Bucholtz, Virginia Brehm, Fred Roberts, and Jesse Choper. Bucholtz won two ratings of "superior" in the Temple Novice tournament earlier this season. Roberts was also awarded a "superior" rating in one event at Temple. The local team will argue both sides of the question of extention of the Guaranteed Annual Wage to all non-agricultural industries. E1·senhower Culs ·v1·c10.ry Cha·n.ces If Nixon is.

Mr. Metcalf analyzed the 1956 political situation in the United States and the significance it bears on the entire free world. He repeatedly returned to what he called the "$·64,000 Question" of the American political scene, "Will Ike run?" The longer he waits the more sure he must become that he will run for he is depriving his party of getting another candidate before the people.

Theta Delta Rho Offers First Post Exam Dance By MARY LOUISE ONUFER Theta Delta Rho will present the perfect ending to the examination period by sponsoring a sport dance in the college gymnasium on the evening of anuary 24. Bernice Thomas, president of TDR, has asked students to break the strain so prevalent during the examination period by coming to the gymnasium to dance, meet friends, and relax with the assurance that "tomorrow there will be nothing to do." Music for the 9 to 12 dancing will be provided by the local union of the American Federation of Musicians. An intermission entertainment program is being planned and the usual soft drink refreshments will be served. A fifty cent donation will be accepted. The sorority has alw,ays managed it finances wisely and plans to use the proceeds from the dance to expand its charitable work and to add to the TDR Scholarship Fund. During the Christmas season the sorority used a portion of the money in its treasury to purchase gifts for the children in the General and Wyoming Valley Hospitals. Miss Thomas has appointed the following committees: Mary West, general chairman; Virginia Brehm, decorations; Pat Kennedy, tickets; Carol Hallas, refreshments. JUNIOR CLASS A,P POINTS PUBLICITY COMMITTEE Larry Amdur, President of the junior class, recently appointed a permanent publicity committee for the purpose of informing the student body of the activities of the class. The date - Thursday, January 26 from 11 to 11 (that is a.m. to p.m.) The place - Karlsruhe, the fabulous Stegmaier Estate, now functioning as one of the finest recreation spots - winter or summer in the Pocono resort area, known and widely advertised as El Pocono Dude Ranch. In addition to the more vigorous outdoor sports mentioned, horseback riding, hiking, and snowballing (weather permitting) will provide fun for all. There will also be the usual indoor activities games, group singing, television, and, of course, eating around the clock from 11 to 11. A majority of the students will probably pack picnic lunches although everything from a hamburg to a steak dinner will be available for those with the appetite and the means.) Dancing from 8 to 11 to the romantic strains of the Blue Danube on the one hand, and to the jarring strains of Rock 'n' Roll on the othe.r, will provide the highlight to the day's events. Since there will be no buses available, students with cars are urged to meet in front of Chase at 11. Caravans to the resort will be formed. This fine affair which promises to stand out from anything of its kind put on by the college in many years is sponsored by the Student Council. Helen Krachenfels is chairman. There is no expense involved to any student except that he must, of course, provide his own food. Obviously, use of special equipment such as skis, rented .skates, and horses are not covered in this. Let's join to make this a day to be remembered! WILKES TO OFFER FOUR-YEAR COURSE IN ART EDUCATION By JANICE SCHUSTER Wilkes College will again expand its ever growing fi elds of study in the fall of this vear with the introduction of a fo~r -year program in Art Education, it was announced by Dr . Eugene S. Farley, coll ege president. Dr. Farley stat ed the program has been approved by the Administrative Council, the Instruction Coun cil of the Board of Trustees, and the State Council on Education. The Board of Trust ees has not yet approved the Art Education program but it is not expected that thi s body will raise the only opposing vote. Dr. Farley stated that a depart- mcnt head for the new School of Art has not been decided upon. He revealed however that Mr. Catha! O'Toole will teach the subjects directly related to art and that another person or persons will be acquired to teach the educational phase of the program. The. new school of study will lead to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Art Education. It will be patterned after t h e successful School of Music, and in which students will have the opportunity of acquiring a broad general education along with the specialization in Art. Minimum requirements will ha ve to be met in the humaniti es, the social sciences, science and the fr ee electives. �2 WILKFS COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIALS- Here We Are Again ~his is the first Beacon of the New Year. It begins for 1956 ~ senes ?f newspapers we hope will prove a constructive, positive service to our readers, more so, if possible, than the Beacons preceding it this Fall. · LOOKING BACK ... . What we've tried to do within the past few months has been to give ~he students here a publication leaning heavily to straight news-i.e., news as news, news as it happens-presentations of events at or about the Colleg·e . We have endeavored to balance this whenever possible with features requiring more than a purely factual, telegraphic treatment; in short, we have tried to put in as much service for both the reader-in-a-hurry and the casual reader as possible. · Our editorial policy has endeavored to be as moderate, as "hand~ off", as disinterested as possible. When controversy has ansen, we have attempted to pursue a conservative middleof-the-road path, with as fair a hearing for both sides of the question as human frailty will allow. ... AND AHEAD At any rate, the Beacon is back for another year, and conservative or liberal, reactionary or radical, we trust that it and future Beacons will continue to operate with the principle in mind that its duty and responsibility lies toward its readers and toward the community of which they and the Co,llege are a part.

By ED McCAFFERTY This month should appeal to all men on campus. It gives the lazy men a chance to look ambitious and t he ambitious men an opportunity to be lazy. The lazy men - Wilkes College males who are Jax about shaving - can grow beards under the pretense that they are competing for th e trophy presented to the hairi est ape by the Sophomore Class, sponsors of Wilkes College Beard Month. Ambitious men merely need to respond to the call of arms, lay down their razors, and hope to out-beard their rivals. The sophomores will award a trophy to t he person who has the best com bination of beard and mustache. Medals will be awarded for the bushiest beard, mostest mustache, and fuzziest peach fuzz. The trophy will have the winner's name on it and will be placed on display in the cafeteria. The Sophomore Class intends to make t his affair an annual event. Everyone, faculty members as well as students and females as well as males, is invited to enter this contest. The contest will culminate at the Sophomore Class dance on February 3. At this ro und and square dance, Dan Flood will do the judging and present the awards. This contest will undoubtedly increase school spirit, make the girls appreciate their fellows when they present their smiling, clean-shaven faces in school the next day, and will put Gillette back in business. Senior Class 'Interlude'· Scheduled January 28. Plans are being completed for a Senior Class Dance which will be held at the Wilkes Gym on Satu rday, Januar y 28. The sport dance, tagged th e "Interlude", promises to be one of the highlights of th e busy week between semesters. Music will be furnished by Bill Figart's combo , with intermission entertainm ent under the direction of Jim Jones. Co-chairmen of t he affair, P earl Onacko and Al Rosenberg have chosen the fo ll owing committee chairmen: Dick Carpenter, tickets; Mollie Beard, Connie Kamarunas , publicity; Mickey Perlmuth, Cliff Brautigan, orchestra; Jim Jones, entertainment; Jeannette P errins, Nancy Beam, invitations; Sylvia Bator, Leah Jean Neuberger, refreshments; Geri Kolotelo, chaperones. Tickets, priced at fifty cents, will soon be on sale. Proceeds from the affair will go toward a senior class gift to the college.

I REYNOLDS co PS Ho No RS AS WEEK'S BE s J AT HLE J E By CLIFF KOBLAND Don Reynolds, a quiet, young man of 130 odd pounds, seems to have a split personality. Around campus, Don is as nice and easy going guy as you would like to meet. But put Don into a wrestling uniform . and you will see a complete change. For the even tempered young man turns into a "tiger". This tiger instinct in Don is one of the main reasons why h e is unbeaten in three matches this season and why he was this week's unanimous choice for Player Of The Week. Don, who won a high school l etter at Hanover Township in wrestling, has been one of the main reasons fo r the team's success this season. The junior grappler has won two bouts by pins and one by default for a total of 15 points. The nati ve of Warrior Run started the Colonels on their winning ways over Swarthmore by pinning his opponent in 1 :45 of the match. In the Blue and Gold's big upset win over Hofstra, Reynolds won by a forfeit. And in last Saturday's win over CCNY, the 147 pound political science major started Wilkes on the road to triumph by ~,m pinning his opponent in 1 :25 of the bout. Don is being counted on by Coach John Reese to carry Wilkes on to a winning season. And the way this boy has started off h e may well do just that. iiliilllilllXX Chuck Robbins - SPORTING GOODS 28 North Main Street All teams in the loop have now dropped at least one point. In the top match of the night, the Ghost Riders had to roll a big third game to take three from the surprising Mighty Mites. The Riders won the first handily, but t hen the Mites put together the t eam high for the year, 690, to take t he second. The Riders collected 681 sticks in the final. Joe Popple, 7vlighty Mites, racked up a 214-487, while Dick Morris paced the winners with 194-504. E lliot Spoiler The Walloping Wags took a dull t hird game by two pins to stop a clean sweep by Ashley Hall. Ashley won the first and second with Neil Dadurka, 229-498, leading the way.

The Colonels dropped a tough one to the Teachers last year and will surely face another powerhouse tomorrow, if for no other reason than East Stroudsburg offers physical education courses and draws som e fine athletes. Four grapplers will la y undefeated records on the line. Don Reynolds, 137-pounds; Terry Smith , 157 ; Walt Glogowski, 177; and Bol> Masonis, heavyweight, have all won three matches in three tries.

And Merry Christmas to you, too, Mr.Ford. . mas ***** The Back of the Hand It seems that we spoke too soon when we thought e few weeks back that there had been an improvement in the way hazing was administered this year. This business of ruining shirts at hazing events had not been brought to our attention at the time. But whether the action was an isolated incident in an othe~ise almost sensible hazing program is, we think, relatively unimportant What is important is the decision of the .Student Council in this matter. Last week the presumed representatives of the students voted to refuse responsibility in the case. Now both the Council and the hazing tribunal both hypothetically represent the students; yet here the tribunal. claiming with perhaps some justification, to have acted as a committee of the Council, declares that the responsibility for the action reverts to the Council, while the Council denies the action to have been within its jurisdiction. The decision of the Council leaves unanswered the main points of the whole controversy. WHO'S RESPONSmLE? If the tribunal is not an agent of the Council, and therefor of the students, under whose authority, then, does it carry out its activities? If the Council, and through it the student body, is not responsible for the acts of a body supposedly representing the students, just who is responsible for the whole affair? Are we to assume that the tribunal and the hazing program are then administered by groups responsible to no one? The Council decision, while no doubt justified, does not appear·perhaps the best of precedents. It leaves the question unsettled, its own responsibilities and those of groups acting in conjunction with undefined and open to arbitrary interpretation. If the students are represented by the Council in more than theory, it would seem that when injustices are alleged to have been commited in the name of the students the representatives of the students should make clear to what extent their auhority should be given to groups which may misuse or abuse it. This should, we feel. be a point made clear both to such groups and, since it is a matter of their authority, to the student body as well. It is too late to be squeamish after a wrong has been done; it might be more than a little helpful for the Council to show where it stands before any action using or pretending to use the authority of.. the student community is undertaken. Whether the Council recognizes it or not, by the very fact that it purports to represent the students, it is bound to make clear just what it feels it will permit its constituents - for the tribunal is as much composed of s\udents as the . Council - to do in thek own name. IF NOT ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES, WHO? · Yet another question remains unsettled by the Council's decision last week. If the Council is not responsible for delegation of presumed authority to the tribunal that ran · hazing this year, who authorized it last yea.r? Or the year ~efore? Or to pegin with? Now it seems to us that few would senously a_ttempt to make these affairs appear spontaneous movements, with the possible exception of such of the hazing as is d<:>:11: by_ !ome of the dormitories. These annual pumped-up artific1ahties have almost always, we understand, had at l9?8t the tacit. approval of the representatives of the students. But if the Council m effect denies that it has any power over groups :"'hich apparently c3:eny their own responsibility, what guarantee is there· ~h~t the act1<;>ns of such groups purporting to act for the stude7:1ts is in fact d<;>mg their will? Maybe we've overlooked ~me~mg, but. we fail_~o see what obligation any minority has, m hght of the Councils decision to give anything but lip service to the welfare or reputation of the rest of the student community. - T.R.P. - WILKES COLLEGE -"" ·.

To the cynic it is primarily an end-of-the-season sales push given a certain unique and p_rofitable status by tinsel, by evergreens and by some incidental relationship to things religious. To the immature it is an opportunity to impress friends with one's generosity. The neurotic uses it to measure the amount of love and affection other people have for him. To the schoolboy it is vacation or term-paper t ime. To the party-goer, it is parties. To the salesman, it is influence peddling. It has elements· of the good, but it is not exactly good. It has elements of the bad, but it is not exactly bad. Along with its many religious overtones I have always felt that this season involves a deeper and more meaningful purpose. For a brief period man s·e ems no longer afraid or embarrassed to display sentiment and gentleness and affection for others. He seems suddenly and finally to notice the basic good rather than the obvious faults in human personality. People who have long stressed their individual rights become conscious of their responsibilities. Man's mask of indifference and of self-dependence appears to slip away, and he expresses a real identity and kinship with his fellow human beings. The takers, the doubters, the egocentrics of yesterday become the givers, the believers, the belongers of today. In this season it is as if man, in spite of all his past failures and mistakes, i~ being; given o?e more ch_ance to pro":e his basic worth and to ~eassocc1ate himself with human~t!· It 1s _his ch~nce to try once agam to reach toward the per~ec~abil~ty of_ which h~ 1s cap~ble. In ~ se~se the_re see!Ils to be . a stirring 1~to l~f~ and mto_ action of . the philosophies which underlie all of man s religions. _Behmd the obvious symbolism and sham there appears to glow so~e famt spark of human decency, a spark that could perhaps someday hght up the world. Taylor Caldwell once expressed this clue to man's potential greatness when she wrote, "Who knows but that the day will come when that eternal and holy stirring which lies even in the basest soul will not burst into universal light? For the sake of that hope we must have · h. p1•t Y, we must ·h ave mercy, we must h ave prayer an d h ope and f a1t We must have the long patience of God." In this sense I wish you a happy and prosperous holiday season : happy in the opportunity to once again reconsider the universe and your place in it, prosperous in the wealth and treasure you may someday discover within yourself. It's in lhe Bag ... for Christmas In the tradition of school newspapers the Beacon this year made inquiries through the hidden spirit to find the most needed things for individuals on campus and we now wish to publicly announce how the Christmas stockings of students and faculty should be filled.

This year's league also took time to get \l,nderway.:_for two reasons. (1) The JCC ·h ad not yet finished their building program. (2) Certain students thought it was smart to deface roster lists and it took time to find· out just who wanted to bowl - and still mistakes were made. · This year, ping po~g and volleyball have been added . .. Volley- •· ball had to wait until a fourth team entered the tournament. Ping pong rosters were scattered all over the campus and also were defaced. Now, we ask you, is this lack of organization or plain downright disinterest on the part of the majority of the student body? We understand that the same thing happened in football - it was difficult to find four teams. IT'S A STUDENT PROGRAM fu rthermore, intramurals are sanctioned and controlled by John Reese, but they are really a . student program. Each has a student director· and officials are drawn from student volunteers. If students dpn't ~ant to referee, th~re just won't be any referees. Kindly note the fact that Reese advertisecl for several weeks for student directors ·· · · · for volleyball and ping pong. Is this student inter est? May we add the interesting fact that the intramural bowling program, which has probably been the most successful student venture in the history of the school, st1,.u ted last year because · just two people expressed a desire to bo'fl and asked the rest of .!he student body t o bowl with them. This is student interest! Some people thought that student . intere.s t was increasing. Let's examine that. The basketball loop just about folded last year because only a couple of teams ever showed up for their game~. We'd be willing to bet right now that th·e sa1t1.e thing happens . this year. We have already mentioned the fact that volleyball was delayed until a fourth team was found. The once popular football league had only four teams this year.

We had some tough breaks from the .ve,:y ,be.ginning of p;re-season practice when a flock of the boys came down with various "bugs!' and never could r egain i'>laying weight or full efticiency.

It didn't help us much. The seniors did a whale of a job keeping the t eam together on the field . The loss of Howie Gross, Jarell Cashmere, Cliff Brautigan, Joe Wilk, Bob Masonis and Glenn Carey will leave a big gap in the t eam, but we· have 17 boys coming back next year to · fo r m a nucleus. .N ext year we hope to be playing the type of schedule we have been striving toward for quite a while · but those things ate not dorte overnight. I ·c an t ell you now that some improvements have been made, but it might take ,enother year before we get the slate erttirely to our liking; . . Without a doubt, we were outclassed in some gam·e s this past year. I don't b~lieve this will happen again. The new schedule plus the fact that we will have more experience on the squad next year sho.u ld return us to wiI)ning years. . · · You just can't keep losing when, you have fellows like Ronn ie Rescigno and Bill Farish in there trying so . hard to win. So, we had more than our share of tough luck this year, Yet, I don't think that any team we pl;iyed will say that Wilkes quit. •Give us our share of the breaks .next year and we'll be back to winning ways. Time could well be an important factor, but let 's face fa ct s. If you want to find time to do something, you can usually do it. Also, the intramural program recognizes that there are such things as classes · and exams. The director of each sport will .try to fit the schedule to suit the participants. If he doesn't, then get a new director because he isn't doing his job. Undoubtedly, some students have to stay out of sports entirely to stay in school - but not 75 or 80 percent. Just to t ie things together, we think that the coming basketball season is going to be a critical one as far as the intramural program is concerned. It could be that if the league is as bad as it was last year, this sport may be dropped from the .program. The same is true of :footbalJ.. This column will welcome all suggestions aimed at improving intramurals. Send them to us or John Reese and they will receive careful consideration. After all, that's part of our jobs. Colonelettes In Exhibition By HELEN M. KRACHENFELS The WiJ.kes Colonelettes met Misericordia in an exhibition game on Saturday morning at the Coughlin High School Gymnasium.

The teams played only one half of a regular game. Each time a foul was committed, , Miss Kenny, Physiciil Education Director at Gettysburg College, explained · the rule changes involved . The Colonelettes · entered the game with an initial handicap, since most of the gals attended the Lettermen's Formal the night before. Betsy Bretz made one point for the Wilkes team.

This is the highest point total for a Colonel in any game this year. The fact that he is one of the Blue and Gold "big men" places a large share of the rebounding and defensive chores on _h is shoulders, but never-the-less John has. found time to rack up his share of points in each game to date. Coach Ed Davis calls him a "ball hawk and good defensive man who is usually given the task of stopping the opposition's tough men." In the Moravian game which went into the books as a fourth straight loss for the Colonels, John dropp-e d 11 of 19 tries from the field and four straight free throws.

Kersteen Mr. Donald R. Kersteen has been with this College since 947. He has been with Wilkes ever since it received its charter o operate as a four-year school. In the early days of the school te was the full time comptroller and supplemented his duties vith teaching one Accounting class. As the college grew he eft teaching and devoted his total efforts to the position of comproller. Mr. Kersteen's duties were not of ·any spectacular nature. ndeed, they were rather those which kept him out of the public iye. Yet without him many of the small but important details ..,-hich mp:de Wilkes a good school may haye been left undone. . Thus is a simple fact, there could be no college as we now mow it if there was never a man called Donald Kersteen. It va,s he who handled the College's finances in an era when most if the nation's small colleges were struggling in deep debt. It vas he who managed the budgets of clubs, other student activiies and the Student Council. It was he who counseled the inlividuals at Wilkes on private budgeting and assisted them in Jetting a college education on limited funds. Though many of us may never have recognized it, this man's xctivities touched on all of us, in all branches of college, students m:.4 . faculty ,alike. Donald Kersteen may never hqve been a Jreat man as this world counts greatness; he may never have ,een a famous man; he was a man who did his job to the best ,f his abilities. No man can do more. Quite simply, then, we join with the rest of Mr. Kersteen's riends here at Wilkes in wishing him the speediest and most :omplete recovery possible. . ***** Somethl·ng Worthwh1·1e WISDOM OF WILKES QUESTION: Do you think that interest in intra-mural sports has been on the down grade? If so, why? ART MEYER: "In recent years I believe that interest in intramural sports has been on th e increase rather th an decreasing. Many new sports have been added for student participation, for example, bowling, volleyball, ping pong. The addition of bowling in particular has stimulated female as well as male intere st in the college sport program." LEONARD FRANCKOWIAK "Interest has lagged because sports are not stressed enough . all they do is put signs up for intramural sports and that's the last you hear of it. Clubs and other organizations don't push it enough." ED McCAFFERTY: "I would not say interest is low. As a freshman however, I do not consider myself thoroughly acquainted with the program ahd cannot give a definite answer."

BOB MORGAN: "The students of Wilkes participate in sports very well. In comparison with other schools we have few dorm students, which cuts down on participation to a degree . . . . In spite of this, there is a great interest in our varied sports program." The DEAN'S CORNER By GEORGE ELLIOT, Acting Dean of Men ON BOWLING SCORES AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT Sunday evening the intra-mural bowling league commenced its operations at the Jewish Community Center. Since bowling is one of the most popular campus activities, it is worthy of comment by the Dean of Men. According to the dictionary a dean has something to do with such things as student discipline, academic probation, dismissal from school, etc. The above fact is strictly incidental information and is only used to pad out the column this week. Mr. Farrar and I have been encouraged to notice that some faint trace of leverage remains in our r· ht d · · bl ig arms ue to wntmg on ackboards and / or other social uses. It is a reasonable assumption . . that we can still bend over although we haven't " tried picking up a ball at the same time. We both agree that our body-english may not be pure AngloSaxon, but it is at least capable of translation. We have wiped clean our eye glasses. We expect a great season! We do hope that the alleys will be a little straighter and less warped than they were last year .. We have always suspected that the gutters are a few inches wider than the regulations allow.

MARY LOUISE ONUFER: "The main reason for lack of interest is real or imagined lack of time.

BEACON PHOTO by Brothers THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT - Jim Ferris (left), the shortest man on the Colonel varsity basketball squad, offers an interesting contrast to 6'8" freshman center Dave Shales. Shales, former Westmoreland .cager, is expected to furnish a solution to the height problem· which has plag ued the Colonels , for man:y years. He is seeing action as a .res erve center this year. row night in New York against Yeshiva. The Colonels dumped Yeshiva at home last year and will be out to make it two in a row over Bernie Sarachek's Washingtqn Heights squad. Heading the list of veterans playing for Yeshiva this year is Irwin Blumenreich, 6'-4" forward who set the Mite's all-time scoring record last year with 513 points: Davis will probably delegate George Morgan to the problem of stopping him. Davis will continue to go with his first fiv e of Morgan, John Bres· nahan, Joe Jablonski, Jim Ferris and Carl Van Dyke. His big problem is to put new life into the de-. fense in order to make up for the height disadvantage he will face all year. At Rider, the Colonels were unable to hapg, OJ) to i'ln ,eight-pont · lead they held in the third period. Rider went ahead to sta y with two minutes to play. F erris and Bresnahan had 16 points each, Jablonski had 12 and Morgan 11. · The Colonels were able to cash in on only 17 fouls out of 34 attempts thus digging their own graves. Rider made 15 of 21. George Morgan tossed in 13 straight points in the final minutes against Ithaca to g ive the cag·e rs a successful hom e and season opener. The Plymouth center wound up with 25 for the night while neighbo r John Bresnahan had 21. These two and Joe Jablonski were outstanding on rebounds in this game. · However, the following night against Bloomsburg, the rebounds went the other way and the downcountry Huskies continued their mastery of the Colonels. Actually, Wilkes had a better shooting percentage against Bloomsburg than they did against Ithaca, but the Huskies controlled the boards on the smaller Teachers' court. Jim Ferris was high in the Bloom tilt with 22 while Morgan trailed behind him with 13; The Colonels play ·their next home tilt next Wednesday night with Susqu ehanna furnishing the opposition.

'Carnival' Features Bean-Guessing Prize; Winner Gets Camera MADRIGAL SINGERS TO GIVE CONCERT SUNDAY AFTERNOON One of the most attractive fea tures of the Town and Gown Series will be presented by the Madrigal Singers Sunday, December 4 at four o'clock in the Wilkes College gymnasium . In this concert, the second of a series sponsored by the Wilkes Coll ege School of Music, the Madrigal Singers, a small group of select singers who specialize in interpreting the madrigal works of the sixteenth and seventeenth century European composers, will present a program of madrigal works and Christmas carols of that period. Mr. John Detro y is director of the Madrigal Singers, who are composed of eight Wilkes m usici;u~~, Lettermen.'s Formal Annual Xmas Event Singer Talks on Spies Before WC Assembly Wilkes students will don their best bib and tucker n ext Friday evening and head for the college gymnasium, site of the annual You just can't convince some people! For example, Adolph Hitler had three authentic letters on his desk concerning the Normandy landing during World War II, but h e simply wouldn't believe that any spy system could get the information contained in them . They did. Dr . Kurt D. Singer used this and manv other similar incidents in his assembly talk on "Spies and Saboteurs" Tuesday at the college gym to show just how effective a spy system can be. Dr. Singer, who recently returned fro m a trip around the world, used a number of illustrations to describe the types, motives, and methods of spies. The former European newspaperman is the author of three books on spies and espionage and was edito r of one of the first underground newspapers in Europe. Those desiring to contribute must be at least 18, a ccording to John Re ese, director of the College donation program . Reese, who replaces Robert Partridge, h ead of the campus blood drive for several years, adds that those under 21 must have parental consent to donate. Parental Consent Students too far from home to obtain parental signatures , may contact Acting Dean of Men George Elliot. Elliott's signature will be accepted by the blood center in lieu of t he parent's. Donors may credit their pints to campus organizations if they so desire. Total contributions for the College are expected to be even higher this year than in the past. The College leads other area institutions in this respect and is expected to maintain its predominance in the current campaign . Blood Insurance Officials at the Red Cross Blood Cent er have explained that students who donate blood are giving under a three-fo ld insurance plan. They are assuring that the Red Cross will furnish blood to the donater, his immediate family, and an y member of the group he is donating for (in this case all students at Wilkes) in case of emergency. There is a quota to be met however, and Wilkes must meet this to be covered under the blood insurance plan. In cases where rare type bloods are needed in emergency the Blood Center makes special efforts to obtain the blood for individuals who are covered in the blood insurance plan.

I I TROSKO NAMED COACH OF PLAINS HOOP SQUAD HOOP PROSPECTS BRIGHT Contrary to the belief of some people, this year's grid squad did ,ot rack up the worst record in the h istory of the school. That dubious ·:stinetion belongs to a team of a few years back. Let's put the late, .alarnented grid season to rest with the following epitaph. What can JU do with 23 men? Word leaking from the gymnasium these <lays has an optimistic 1ne for the basketbal_l squad which opens tonight. Eddie Davis is ortunate to be able to inaug urate his coaching career with 80 percent f last year's starting t eam back. That fancy figure means that fo ur ~ ~he five first-liners are back in uniform. · Carl Van Dyke, Jim Ferris, John Bresnahan and Joe J ablonski 'ihould be able to top last year's splendid efforts with an added year o.f experience under their somewhat s lim belts. The quartet aver ages only about 5'11" in height, but have balance a nd speed. W e advise you to watch Jim Ferris in the last quarter tonight if ··.1e tilt with Ithaca should happen to be close. That is the time when ' ¾e rapid Kingstonian shines. H e is probably the best conditioned '1lete ever to play any sport for Wilkes and usually can run opponents ,o the ground in the late stages of a game. It is also an excellent i.son why he was "Athlete of the Year" last year and a strong candite to grab the trophy again. Joe Trosko, for mer Colonel gridder and line coach this year, has been named coach of the Plains Hig h School basketball t eam. Tr,osko ass umed his duties this week. He was a n outstandin g g uard on Wilkes grid squads for four years prior to his graduat ion in 1955.

ROlber t Moran, band director, introduced Coach Picton and made an appeal for the wealth of book-bound football talent Wilkes possesses to come out for the team. ·Picton then introduced Glenn Carey, captain of the team. Carey emphasized that although the team is small in num ber and light in weight it is a scrappy bunch and will give each opponent a run for the money this year. Picton lauded line coach Joe Trosko for producing a line that should stand up to the high standards established by form er coach George Ralston. The band then played the Wilkes Drinking Song, which was followed ,by a "Beat Lebanon Valley" cheer.

Local high school students found out last night how he solves it, and this evening the people here at the College and their neighbors in the community will have a chance to see who wins the bet. Curtain time for "Nothing But The Truth" is 8 :3,0 tonight at the College gym. General admission is a dollar, but Wilkes students get in for free on activity passes, which will admit two this evening and at tomorrow night's performance as well. Others in the cast besides Williams, Miller, Schiffer and Amdur include Carl Ernst, Jane Obitz, Marian Laines, Patricia Yost, Barbara Tanski, Nancy Beam and Nancy Brown. Mr. Alfred S. Groh will direct; stage crew is in charge of Fred Helfrick. Some four weeks ago we bemoaned the fact that there was no,one to succeed this administration of the College paper. We noted that just a little hc;trd work would doubtless put some junior, possibly some sophomore, this year into the editorship next Fall. That was four weeks ago. Since then the number who've joined the Beacon staff from the upper classes have been a big round figure - zero. Maybe we just don't think along the sqme lines as others around here, but we feel that there ought to be some attraction to a position which not only permits one to serve the College and the community, but which even offers the more personal rewards of a scholarship and even some degree of social prestige - or so they tell us. But all that aside, it does seem odd that no-one p.as so far endeavored to try for the position. Just what goes on in readers' minds in regard to this situation, anyway? We'd like to know; in point of fact, we've got to Top social event for this week know.

All College Tea Top Social Event Letter to the Editor . • • To the Editor Wilkes College "Beacon" Sir: After the recent "Honor Code Assembly" I felt that a large fraction of students were unconvinced by the arguments used in its favor. Perhaps too much emphasis has been laid on honor as a self-rewarding virtue. Somehow when you are honorable you are supposed to glow with a nice feelin g. A lot of students have waited for this to happen after they have been honest, and have been disappointed. Naturally they are cool toward moralistic arguments. Settings up a code of beha vior on moral foundations is a desirable, but an often unneeded refinement. There exist in ·everyday life numerous exam_pfes of cod~s of behavior which are the result of common-sense practicality alone. An example is · the notable respect for other's 'p roperty found among boatman and fishermen. It is common experience to see in harbors thousands of dollars worth of rope, anchors·,''nets, ,dinghys, and so on, lying unwatched on _ docks and boats. The ' boats themselves :tre often as not, left open, valuable instruments and gear ready for the taking. · Yet theft is ·r are '. in the extreme. Because it is · easy to catch the thief? · ' Qi·ute the' oppo- site; it is almost impossible. The reason is simply that boating and fishing would cease because the total available energies of all concerned would go into locking up and posting watch on every belonging. In a plant where I worked ·nine years about fifty machinists had their own tools, each man three to five hundred dollars worth. No one ever thought of locking them up. I never heard of a case of loss by theft. That was a code of mutual convenience having the very practical reward of freedom from the nuisance of being always on th e watch. The most telling argument for an honor code in college is that i-t further frees your teachers, your admini strators, and yourself for the one purpose you presumably ca me here for, that is to get educated. Every instant we spend being cops is taken away from you. 1-t is doubly taken away becaus'il energy · spent on teaching often ·gives us a .self-renewing sense of accomplishment, whereas energy that goes into policing is worse than wasted, it is squandered on a hun;iiliating and ,,negative job. You students would be surprised to know how much you influence -the quality of your courses. There is one very . positive way you can do so for the bethir : free us so we can be more creative teachers it's no fun being a cop. '· C. M. Worstall Asst. Prof. of Physics I I Delta Rho. The tea will be held in the cafeteria today from 3 to 5, and everyone on campus is invited to drop in, relax over a cup of tea, and "meet the gang."

You cannot obtain the same filtering action in any other cigarette. 4. 5. Smokers en masse report that filtered Viceroys have a finer flavor even than cigarettes without filters. Rich, satisfying, yet pleasantly mild. Besides being non-mineral and non-toxic, this cellulose-acetate filter never shreds or crumbles. The Viceroy filter wasn't just whipped up and rushed to market to meet the new and skyrocketing demand for filtered cigarettes. Viceroy pioneered. Started research more than 20 years ago to create the pure and perfect filter. Viceroy draws so easily that you wouldn't know, without looking, that it even had a filter tip ... and Viceroys cost only a penny or two more than cigarettes without filters! That's why more college men and women smoke VICEROYS than any other filter cigarette ... that's why VICEROY is the largest-Belling filter cigarette in the world!

The Princesses will ride in the motor-cade that leaves Chase Hall tomorrow at 1 :30 and travels through the business section of the cit y to the football stadium. A host of student paraders are expected to join the caravan. Princess Connie Miss Kamarunas came to Wilkes in 1952 fro m Scranton where she attended Scranton Central High School. She was a member of the .art staff on the student publication "Impressions". In the fall of '52, Connie enrolled at Wilkes as an art student. Her work under Mr. O'Toole was known a bout the campus for its distinctiveness, and all had seen her posters and work on the Art bulletin board signed affectionately, "Connie K." She is no stranger to beauty and personality titles having been nam•ed the "Colonel's Queen" at the Letterman Dance last year. She was also a candidate in the Cinderella contest. Connie has changed her major to Commerce and Finance. As a dormitory student she is a member of the Inter-Dorm Council and the campus sorority, Theta Delta Rho. Princess Jane Miss Obitz is a day student from South Wilkes-Barre. She attended Meyers High School and has been extremely active· in student affairs throughout het school days. At Meyers she was vice-presidertt of the . s.e nior· class, had the lead in U:ie senior play, and was a member 'of the. Modern Choir. P1·i ncess Jane completed a twoyear' course at Keystone Junior College where she was active in cheerleading and basketball. She also attended Oberlin College then ti;ansferted · to Wilkes as an Elementary Education major. Her impressionable smile and flaming r,ed hair have made her as distinctive Ifs any of the landmarks at Wilkes College. Jane is a girl everyone seems to know. Her performances in Cue 'n' Curtain plays have always been excellent. Last year student critics ·judged Jane's performance in "Girl Cra2:y" one of the best. During the Christmas assembly program last year J'ane gave a stirring reading of a Christmas message. The prospective teacher is a member of the Education Club and also a member of the Theta Delta Rho sorority. THE BEACON Miss Jacqueline Jones was selected as Wilkes College's second Homecoming Queen in balloting Tuesday afternoon by five s.tudent judges and three faculty members. Seven lovely Wilkes coeds entered the final judging and Miss Jones amassed the greatest number of points in the special Homecoming Queen selection. Chosen as Princesses to the Queen were Miss Connie Kamarunas and Miss Jane Obitz. The 20 year old junior, an elementary education major, will travel to the football stadium, as the feature attraction, in a caravan of new open-top cars and paraders.

She entered Wilkes in 1953, for the reason that many local students come to the "Community College" - "It is a small, highly-rated college, convenient for me to attend while living at home." She is a member of the campus sorority, Theta Delta Rho, and she was a candidate for Cinderella in May, 1955. Alumni Aids Beacon This year the Alumni Association has taken an active part in the arrangements for selecting and crowning the Homecoming Queen. The title was first bestowed on a Wi!.kes coed last year when the Beacon editors formulated all plans for the Homecoming royalty. An honor guard of four naval reservists from the local armory will ecort the Queen and her Princesses through most of the ceremonies of the day. The court and honor guard will be guests at the Alumni cocktail party in the Hotel Sterling tomorrow night. In case of inclement weather, the Queen will be crowned at the Alumni Cocktail Party tomorrow night at 8 :30.

Part of the celebration embraces 1omorrow afternoon's football game with Bridgeport, at the- 'halftime ceremonies of which the ·B eacon's second annual Homecoming Queen will be crowned. ·The young lady in question, Jacqueline Jones, was selected earlier this week by a board of faculty members considered as outside objective experts, together with the Beacon editorial staff and the Alumni Sec:retary. We trust the students will help the Alumni have a successful Homecoming by turning out for this last ,home ball game. The Beacon has done and is doing what has been meted out as its part, as have the Alumni, and it would help if the College also continued to do its part as in the past. Thel'e are various other reasons for going to the game besides the cherished hope that we'll foul up the ceremonies. Among other things, football is recognized today as a legitimate form of entertainment and recreation. Too, it would probably also help the yearbook photographer to have a better background for his pictures than the usual blank rows of empty seats. HERE WE GO AGAIN They tell us that a few honest liberals and sincere supporters of .the honor system may ha,v e been in some way offeneded by our editol'ial of last week. We triep to explain that we were not in opposition to honor systems per se, but to the particular one offered in assembly last week. We still have an open mind on the subject, are·-willing to be shown. And if we did inadvertently offend the sincere, it goes without saying that they have our apologies. · Indeed, part of the .purpose of our editorial was to protect those who favor .a system (to say nothing of the rest of our readers).from falling prey to an honor plan that was, to us, unworkable. When we attacked this plan, we did not by any stret~h of the imagination wish to indicate that it was offered in anything but good faith. What caused our protests was the inconsistency of a group which had not, apparently, been able to agree, even amidst itself, just what the basis of the proierred system was to be. When offered at first, the plan was to have had no means for punishing or reporting violators. Then one of the honor advocates .g rudgingly admitted under pressure from the audience that, if the situation got too bad, "something would have to be done." The "Honor Council" proposed in the offered plan would merely report on the "workability and continuation" of the system. In short, the very advocates of the sytem, when they explained that the system would probably be dropped if the 'Coun• cil's reports proved adverse, themselves admitted the plan's un wolikabi1ity. And the remark .later to the effect that "even if all the system does is to keep the cheating down to the present level. why not accept it" again admitted the high probability of failure of the plan. In other words, these faults in the proposed type of honor system were not brought out by attacks or questions of us or by those who would have to bear the responsibility if the system were instituted, but by those who offered the plan themselves. HASTE AND THE REST OF US Those who would institute their own particular brand of system here at the College have a right to their plans and opinions. We would be, of course, about the last quarter from which to expect or receive any attack on such unquestioned rights. We argue, when we feel it necessary, against plans and opinions, not against the right to them. We may legitimately argue against the plans and opinions, as well as the manner in which they are presented, and in this case it is such presentation as well as plan and opinion which concern us. We cannot help but be disturbed by the frantic, almost fanatic rapidity with which the advocates of the system under consideration rush to thrust their views upon their fellow-students. There is, it seems, a sense of "rush, rush, rush," "quick, quick, quick," "hurry, hurry, hurry_." about the way the whole thing has shoved at the students while at full tilt so to speak that gives us .pausei. This haste disturbs us. Somehow, it feels vaguely unnr;xtural. One wonders why these planners and opinionfonn~rs .a re in such a rush to throw their half-formed concepts before us, why they are not content to let the rest of us go quietly about 'mrr .business. WHO'S THE INTERESTED PARTY HERE? Yet for all their fuss and feathers, the promoters of this questionable system do not seem, so far, to be particularly convincing to the people who'd be saddled with their system if it were instituted - the students. Perhaps the best comment on their arguments is that they weren't able o hold he students at the very assembly at which the plans and arguments were presented. Wilkes students, normally attentive to even one of the dullest speakers, no matter how over-long he spoke, implicitly gave one of the most expressive opinions ~f the system and the arguments for it without speaking a word. They simply watched the clock. and when the time came they clapped their hats on their heads and went off in search, presumably, of something more substantial for their stomachs than had been feeding their minds for an hour past. m!.:eA!~ :~a~~~~jl~~ii~/~:= I rounded businessman; somewhat .on the jowly side too. The mild and meek student of former days is now the divorced father of thirteen children, "The girl I would most like to elope with" is now the sedate matron who seems to have P.T.A. tottooed all over her. The once glib politician is now the harassed and silent husband. All the stillactive alumni wolves seem sudd.e nly to notice the long latent attractions of the former Miss Nothing. One thing I will be awed about for weeks to come is the "success story" graduate, who I vaguely remember slouching and yawning in my eight o'clock economics class years ag·o. It was a little difficult to recognize him with his eyes open. Now, however, he treats me with just the slightest air of condescension as he ex plains the current economic state of the union - from the businessman's point of view, that is. In spite of these mild distractions ther~ is something wond.e rful, and satisfying and memorable about these occasions. A graduate never really leaves his school behind; there is always something of the college in him, and something of him still remains at the campus. , There is something just a little bit sad too as we have occasion to try to relive some of the good old days. For a little while then, "Welcome Home, John and Bill and Mary and Louise and all of you!" Your satisfaction and joy at being here is only topped by our satisfaction and joy at seeing you all once again. ;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;;-~-~-~---.-:.:--~-$-••-.!-:-~-;..--~-;.--:.--:.----:_:_-~-.,.-.--.,.:---!-;.-;.--;:--:.~--: Tottring the Clubs JUST ALITTLE HUMOR posing a graduated income tax on individuals, but not on industries - this .would be ·the only method by which the high debt the state Some people's writings are a S.A.M. - The Society for the Adis now in could be equally distri- vancement of Management is head- jungle of verbage thrown together buted." ed on campus by Len Mucahy; it with a Sahara of thought. is a junior chap.ter of the nationJohn Linkowski (about a philosoLE.TT-ER TO :PHE ·EDIT-GR wide S.A.M.

Beacon �Friday, November 11, 1955 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 4 Nine Seniors Play Final .Tilt For Boaters at Philadelphia When the soccer team travels to Philadelphia tomorrow to play Philadelphia Textile Institute, nine seniors who have been responsible for winning seasons for the past three years will . be making their last appearance in the Blue and Gold of .t he soccer team. 'Most of the nine boys have formed the . nucleus of a Colonel team that brought Wilkes its first soecer wins as well as winning seasons. PARK ER PETRILAK will wind up a long and brilliant career in Wilkes' sports by tending the goal for the last time. Petrilak holds the distinction of being the only four-letter man in Wilkes history. He holds · monograms in football, basketball and baseball as well as soccer. JIM FERRIS will doff his soccer suit after tomorrow's game and· join the basketball squad for the 1955-56 campaign. A fine allaround athlete, Ferris was voted Beacon Athlete of the Year last year. YOUNSU KOO is one of the foreign boys who came along just at the same time that Bob ·P artridge was developing the current squad and fit in nicely. Younsu was voted to the Tri-State AllStai· team last year and has been a winner of Athlete of the Week honors. A terminal student in engineering, he will continue his studies elsewhere. He holds the all-time scoring record with eight goals. CARL VAN DYKE, like Ferris, will join the basketball . team next week. He paces the team in scoring with· seven goals and has figured prominently in All-American nominations doled out by officials and rival coaches. GLENN PHETHEAN and JOE POPPLE, the two fullbacks, both hail from West Pittston and play side by• side on the soccer field. Phethean was the first Athlete of the Week this year and has been outstanding. Popple is noted for his strong kicking foot. They form the finest fullback team in Wilkes history. SAM SHUGAR leaves the soccer team after the T extile game, but will head right for coach John Reese's grappling squad. Sam has been a steady performer all year despite a raft of injuries. HANK DEIBEL has been an under-rated performer who has come into his own in recent weeks. · He. is the most dangerous man on the team on corne1; kicks, and four of his boots have been converted into scores this year. He will leave a big hole at outside right. FRED BOOTE got a starting assignment in mid-season and immediately made a hit. Playing inside, he has been one of the scrappiest performers on the squad and made his first goal of the year a winning tally against Elizabethtown, All nine boys will be in the startin glineup against the foreign starstudded Philadelphia Textile team tomorrow. The Colonels dumped this team last year and will be looking for a repeat in this tilt. A win tomorrow would assure the hooters of the best season in Wilkes history. The record now stands at four wins, three 1ties, and three losses. ANSWER TO INQUIRY Parker Petrilak Jim Ferris An inquiry from another eollege arrived in the public relations office this week which contained a loaded question. The letter asked if there was any truth to the rumor t hat Wilkes College was going to drop footba ll due to_ lac·k of interest and finances. We would like to go on r ecord as saying that there is no truth to this rumor. Nor do we know how the story started to circulate. But before we all go overboard, let's examine the fa cts . About six years ago, Wilkes put teams on the field which created quite a reputation for cold , single-wing efficiency. Most of these teams was composed of World War II veterans. They were bigger and more experienced than the 19-20 year olds manning today's gridirons. As a matter of fact, several of them were our boyhood heroes on local high school teams. . There has been no such · flood of vet erans onto college camp use:; following the Korean War. The average draft8oil in the K-war was in the 21-2.5 age bracket and had eit h er completed his college education :(students were exempted) or else he had a good job to go back to. .Those who decided to go to college did not go to play football. Most of the athletes had already had a crack at coll ege sports. FOOTBALL BACK TO NORMAL Thus, we can say that football has achieved some so rt of normalcy since the World War II boom. · Most schools have had their share of ups and downs and just to prove that ·wilkes is no exception, we are doi.vn - ·but so are the University of Pennsylvania, Northwestern and even Texas. You can't be a winner every year. The policy of the administration concerning football is not one of de-emphasis, but one of sanity. We encoura-g e football, but we require that football players meet the standards of the college. This corner doesn't believe that any football player has ever been turned away from the school if he measured up to its standards. Nor do we solicit gridders to come to Wilkes. We are a small college and only so many scholarships can be given out. Instead of being given to athletes, they are iss ued for leadership. If a person receiving such a grant happens to be an athlete, he still must meet the requirements specified. WE HAVE IT, IF THEY WANT IT Younsu Koo Carl Van Dyke Football has n ever been a money-making proposition on this campus. It is given a budget every year like any other school activity and must try to stay within this budget. A ·deficit is expected. Nobody is pressuring the public to see our games. It it wants to come it is welcome. We think that the let-down is indicative of today's youth, rather than the school or its policies. Take a look at high school footbal l. G.A,R., once considered a pushover, is riding a crest . . Once powerful teams, like Kingstori. and Nanticoke, are far below par. We can remember when it took three cuts to get the Kingston squad down to where the coaches could start hand-picking the material they wanted. Now, they are lucky if 50 boys come out for the ·sport. Swoyerville continues to put out top-notch teams with a minimum of manpower. But it is the exception because it has a peculiar breed of boy there - peculiar today because they want to play football - and Y onKondy does it all by himself. How is the high school condition refl ected at Wilkes? Despite the fact that the student bgdy is higher in numbers than ever, Russ Picton took only 23 men to Hofstra last week. There are some good boys among that 23, but they can't do it alone. Actually, in terest in sports arriong males has reached a low point - even to where John Reese had to advertise for a manager - once· highly prized positron which was fought over. a Glenn Phethean Joe Popple HIGH SCHOOL BELOW PAR Last year's high school seniors are this year's freshmen at Wilkes -and last year was probably the worst year for high school football in Valley history. The good team s were fair and the bad t eams were poorer. Naturally, the better players f ell prey to the big-time scouts. However, things are bound to take a turn for the better and the overflow of players will find their way to Wilkes to become good small college gridders. ' The temporary swing away from s1>0rts can't continue because of the very nature of youth. It will tire of new interests and turn back to the old favorites - football, baseball and such. Yet, there is a touch of irony in the inquiry which started this mess. It came from a school which just last year was lamenting its gridiron fate and pleading for the administration to dig up a few "honest-togoodness" football players.

Of the four, only Joe Jablonski is in uniform at present. John Bresnahan. Carl Van Dyke and Jim Ferris are still spending their spare moments in soccer suits and will not be avaiable until early next week. ·· There are 21 players now working out under Davis' direction at •n ight practice sessions. Night practice will continue until Davis finishes a tour as assistant grid coach at Plymouth.

Sophomores are: Ed Birnbaum, Hob Sokol, Don Domzalski and Elmer Snider. The other senior is Ed Troutman, a veteran of last year's squad. While the returning lettermen are not exceptionally tall, they form the nucleus of a fast-break team which should be able to give the tough schedule a good battle. Shales will get a good look by Davis as he could supply the answer to the Colonel height problem.

Conterence Meets Here On -Tuesday On Tuesday, the Wilkes campus will play host to the Luzerne County White House Conference on Education, sponsored by the Anthracite Institute for ~ fl!] -WILKES - COLLEGE- Be aeon 2nd Beacon Queen To Be Named For '55 Homecomin g Developing Schools. The event is in collaboration with the national White House Conference plan instituted by President Eisenhower. The White House Conference on Education is a plan to focus citizen interest on local, state and national problems of education, and to search for possible solutions. It is a result of President Eisenhower's appeal for "the most thorough, widespread, and concerted study the American people have ever 'made of their educational problems." The afternoon session from 4 to 6 will consist of group discussions on the six major issues of the year: 1. What should our schools accomplish? 2. In what ways can we organize our school systems more efficiently and economically? 3. What are our school building needs? 4. How can we get enough good teachers - and keep them? 5. How can we obtain a continuing pu~lic interest in education? 6. How can we finance our schools - build and operate them? Each of six groups will discuss one of the questions in regard to the 1ocal situation, and formulate possible r,olutions. Chairmen in charge of these groups are: Dr. Gordon D. Bell, Wyoming Valley Chapter, American Red Cross; Mrs. Leroy E. Bugbee, League of Women Voters of Wilkes-Barre; Mr. Herbert J. Mori-is, Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce; Mrs. Miltona Klinetob, Pennsylvania State Education Association; Dr. Samuel A. Rosenberg, Wilkes College Economics Department; and Atty. Maurice S. -Cantor, Wilkes-Barre Citizens Committee. In addition, over fifty :people have been invited to attend the group meetings and act as consultants. WC Honor System Interest is Hi g h At Assembly Talk Five Wilkes students brought the honor system to life on campus again this year be presenting their views to the student body at assembly Tuesday. Editors, Groh, O'Toole, Picton To Make Choice; Decision On Next Tuesday Helen Rutledge, Helen Krachenfels, Chet Miller, Bob Coon, and moderator Jessie Choper took the first part of the assembly hour to present pe-r sonal views and allowed the students to question them in the final portion of the program. As was typical of pa st honor discussions many questions were left unanswered because of insufficient time, Many opinions wer·e still on the lips of the students as they left the assembly hall. Choper opened the program with a brief historical account of attempts to bring an honor system to the school from the time it was Bucknell Junior College to the present time. The most recent attempt that was carried to completion was in 1954, when the senior class voted against "honor". Last year elements of the student body originated new discussions that ha ve carried into this year. The BEACON picks its second annual Homecoming Queen next week. This year's Queen will be selected from a field of a baker's dozen candidates nominated last Monday. Final selection will be made next Tuesday by a judging board comprised of the editorial staff, Mr. Groh, and Mr. O'Toole. The Queen will be crowned at the Bridgeport football game next Saturday. Gloria Dran, last year's Queen, will crown her successor at the game. The Queen will again have a Marine honor guard for the ceremonies. This year's coronation will be conducted by the Beacon in conjunction with the. Alumni Association. Alumni will make arrangements, procure honor guards, gifts for the Queen.. The two runners-up in the contest will serve as princess-attendants to the Q~1een, will join h er 4during the halftime ceremonies. Besides the official crowning at Kingston Stadium on Saturday afternoon, the Queen and her Princesses will attend the Alumni Warm-Up Party Friday evening at the Kingston House, and the cocktail party and buffet supper Saturday night after the game. The board of judges will m eet on Tuesday at 11 to select the Queen and h er attendants from the 13 contestants . The judging policy differs this year in that last year's Queen was selected directly by the Beacon staff. The identity of all contestants will remain unannounced until the final selection is made. Last year's Beacon began the practice of selecting a queen for Homecoming. With her succession by a second next Saturday, it is hoped that the practice will become cusomary each year. Non-Informing Favored Miss Krachenfels spoke first expressing an affirmative view and emphasizing the need for integrity and responsibility among students. Miss Rutledge spoke affirmatively and negatively on certain as. pects of an honor system. She was opposed to the student informer type '5ystem that substitutes many proctors for one proctor. She favored a "system that will make a student feel as though he is stealing from the blind when h e cheats" . Bob Coon, the third speaker, presented a definite plan that a number of dormitory students had thought might work. The high light of this plan was "noninforming" by students on each other. Chet Miller took a definite negative stand and presented four great stumbling blocks. 1. The school is too small. 2. The school is not founded on tradition or religion.

Ruth Younger, sophomore: "I believe an honor system would be a definite asset to the educational progam of Wilkes. However, an honor system would be even a greater asset to the character of the individual student."

On Thursday, October 27, Weckesser Hall and the Engineers fought to a 6-6 draw. W eckesser opened the scoring when on fourth down Engineers' punter George Morgan was smothered n ear his own goal before he could get off his kick. On the next play from scrimmage Weckesser's speedy halfback Gary Weingartner carried over for the score. The conversion was missed and at the half Weckesser lead, 6-0. It wasn't until late in the third period that the Engineers started to move on the passing of their quarterback Don Pacropis. The Engineers score came as a result of a Pacropis pass to end Harold Pezzner late in the third quarter. Both clubs could not move the ball in the final quarter and the game went into the books as a tie. Engineers Wallop Butler On Monday, the Engineers picked up their first win of the season with an easy 30-6 victory over Butler Hall. Paced by their triplethreat quarterback Don Pacropis, who scored three T.D.'s, the Engineers never had any trouble with the men from Butler. Sheldon Isaacs and George Morgan broke into the scoring column for the Engineers. This game was a replay of one that was protested by the Engineers two weeks ago. Wednesday saw Butler get its first win of the campaign with a close 14-6 victory over W eckesser Hall. The Weckesser team gave the highly favored Butlermen quite a scare when at halftime Butler led by only one point, 7-6. The Butler score came on a pass inter- ception by Jerry Lind, who ran from his own forty for the score. The extra point was successful when Lind hit Mickey Perlmuth on a pass play. Bill Duffy took a Gary Weingartner pass and scampered for a Weckesser TD late in the second quarter. The score stood 7-6 till the final period when Butler added the insurance tally on Stan Abram's buck up the middle. Lind this time ran for the extra point.

As the final phase of this year's hazing plan, the freshman class yesterday moved the store's supplies to Harding Hall, on South Franklin Street, across the campus from Chase Hall where the Bookstore has •b een located for the past nine years. Freshmen loaded with packages paraded down South River Street, a cross South Street and up South Franklin Street to the store's new site. They were accompanied by the College band, under the direction of Bob Moran. Millie Gittens, associated with the Bookstore for over nine years, was driven in an open car at the rear of the parade. Millie, who now oversees the store, has been with the College for eleven years. By HELEN M. KRACHENFELS The budget for the school year 1955-56 as prepared by the Student Council was pr& sented to the Administrative Council on Wednesday afternoon, and was approved with minor reservations. A Student Council committee consisting of Cliff Brothers, Dick Carpenter, Chet Miller, Helen Krachenfels, and Les Weiner attended the meeting in order to explain the Student Council's reasoning in preparing the budget, and to answer any questions which the Administration might have. The only item on the budget which met with som e disapproval was the proposed allocation for the Manuscript. It was the feeling of the Administrative Council that the $100 increase over last year's budget for that activity should be justified. (Last year the Manuscript received an appropriation of $400, but ~pent only $375 of the amount. This year the Manuscript request was vise in yesterday's change of Bookstore location.

Three weeks ago the BEACON announced that the College's new cafeteria was not to go nameless. The College administration had decided at the time to permit the student body to assist them in selecting a name for the building, and the BEACON passed the information along. We were also picked to serve as a clearing point for suggested names. The students were to submit names to the BEACON, which would would then pass them on to the deans for further action. The deans were anxious to co-operate; the BEACON was anxious to co-operate. To date the student body has suggested some ten names, which were handed in only when we had to assign reporters to comb the campus for them, and of which only two were even vaguely intelligent enough to be presented to a serious board of trustees. Now we do not propose to insult the student body by prating here of school spirit, but we do wonder just what, if anything, ls going on in their minds. Of course, if students choose to ignore an opportunity to help the people up above help them, it's their own business. A:pd if they consider it their business to disagree with us in this matter, that's also their right, and they are full welcome to tell us or their fellow-students so in o.ur Letter to the Editor section. We're up on the second floor of the Lecture Hall, and if they want to drop off a reqsonable name for the cafeteria, that's O.K.. too. STUDENTS HEAR NIXON OTHER PERSONALITIES AT HERALD TRIB.

He made a total of over 40 saves in both games. Veteran soccer observers at Lewisburg during Tuesday's 2-2 tie with Bucknell called him the finest goalie they had ever seen in American soccer. End Home Season with 2 Tilts; Parker Petrilak Ronnie Rescigno Grid Colonels Play On Road Tomorro'N Wilkes College's football team will take to the road again this week as they travel to Princess Anne, Maryland. to meet Maryland State Teachers College in a Saturday afternoon game. The Colonels registered their initial win of the '55 season last weekend at Trenton, where they whipped Trenton State The soccer team received another blow this week when it was learned that Dave Polley would be lost for the remainder of the season. Polley was stricken ill late last week and r ushed to the General Hospital. H o spit a 1 authorities stated that he is expected to remain there for two more weeks for treatment. As the soccer season ends on November 12, this would eliminate him from further competition this year. The same thing happened to Polley last year when doctors ordered him to cea se playing several weeks before the end of the season. Polley heard the bad news last year at the same time he was notified by m embers of the Beacon that he had been selected as Athlete of the Week. Volleyball. Ping-Pong Slated for Intramurals John Reese, director of the intramural s ports program, has announced that volleyball and pingpong tournaments will be staged in the near future. Teachers College by an 18 to 6 score. Previously this year the Colonels had dropped decisions to Lebanon Valley College, Ithaca College, and Bloomsburg State Teachers College. Maryland State's Hawks, on the other hand, have a 6-0 record. The N egro team is undefeated and unscored on in the Eastern Intercollegiate Conference and in their one game out of the conference defeated Hofstra, 19 to 14. Similar Offenses The Hawks' attack, which works out of the T-formation as does the Colonels' offensive, consists of fine running of sophomore halfbacks John Sample and Stan Jones and a counter offensive of Andy DeMent's sharp-shooting passing. Wilkes' offensive thrusts are led by halfback Ronnie Rescigno. This week starting tackle Cliff Brautigan will return to the lineup after two weeks' absence with a case of pneumonia. Also returning to duty for the Colonels is starting fullback Dave Panzitta. The freshman ballcarrier was out of commission last week due to a back injury. Added to the injury list of Wilkes College is starting halfback Dick Wozniak who suffered an ankle injury in the Trenton game last week. The· rest of the lineup remains in good shape although the roster is paper thin. The Colonels will be underdogs in this .renewal o.f rivalry with Maryland State College. Rescigno Half a Team Ronnie Rescigno's performance in last week's Trenton win was like a chapter from a story book. He carried 26 times and gained 131 yeards from scrimmage which is about five yards per crack. In all the Colonel totals for the game were 159 yards gained in 59· tries. Rescigno's total, compared to the grand total, is about half. So far this year Ronnie has scored twice, once in the Ithaca game and again in the Trenton contest. The Ithaca tally was the only score for the Blue and Gold forces in that contest as the Colonels went down to defeat by a 12 to 7 score. He registered only one out of WC's three tallies at Trenton but his runs set up the other two scores. He is a shifty, break-away type runner who swings into high gear WRESTLERS TO MEET the instant he gets the ball.

Kazimi, chairman of the affair, urges all members of the student body to be present for the game to show their appreciation to John Re ese's hooters . The Wilkesmen should rate as favorites over the Trenton State aggregation tomorrow afternoon. The Colonels will have a slight revenge motive in tomorrow's contest after having dropped a decision to Rider, also located in Trenton, earlier in the season. The game will start at 2 -P .M. Although the Kirby P ark home of the Colonels could pass for a swimming pool, Reese was hopeful that weather conditions would dry it up by tomorrow. East Stroudsburg will bring a winning record to Colonelville having been the only team to stop Elizabethtown before last Saturday night when the Colonels drubbed them, 3-1. The Teachers annually present one of the best teams in the State. Reese is faced with the problen1 of coming up with a few new halfbacks now that Glenn Phethean has been moved to Dave Polley's full-back slot and Bill Lloyd and Sam Shugar have leg injuries. H e used Ed Masonis and John Bresnahan at Bucknell, but both boys are inexperienced although spirited. Shugar and Lloyd may be available for limited service to lessen the load. The Trenton and Stroudsburg games will give the student body their last chance to see this year's edition of the hoot ers in action as they will wind up the season by playing Gettysburg and Philadelphia Textile on the road. GRIDDERS WIN FIRST; INTRAMURAL$ ON DOWNGRADE Registration for campus intramural sports programs seems to give some proof to the conception that American youth are swinging away from emphasis on sports. ThE:re is a definite lack of interest among able-bodied males when only about 30 of them are interested in playing intramural football. We can remember back when the enrollment was sm aller and the interest in intramurals greater. It extends beyond football. T he basketball league has been a flop for the past two years. Either not enough teams entered or those who did, "forgot" to show up on nights when they were scheduled to play. The same thing goes for the softball program. It seems that as soon as some teams lose a ga me, t hey want to quit. WE HAVE SOME FUNNY PEOPLE Last year, a n ew bowling league was installed which was an immediate success. However, this year interest has been rather lackadaisical. Registrations seem to indicate a smaller turnout than last year - EVEN THOUGH ALMOST TWICE AS MANY GIRLS AS LAST YEAR HAVE ALREADY REGISTERED! It has even gotten to the point where certain "geniuses" have found it amusing to deface the fo r ms which have been posted for registration. Of course, the latter are the type we DON'T WANT in the program. About the only fun they can get out of their actions is ruin• ing things for somebody else. They are the same ones who will do most of the complaining when things don't s uit them. Take your gripes someplace else, fellows. We don't want them. Yet, it seems to us that sports have always been a vital part of American life. It led to the pecul iarly American trait known as individualism. If it is disappearing here on campus, it must be fading elsewhere. Wonder what the next generation will be like? We figure that one of the big items which l eads to decreased interest on the campus is the lack of dormitories. Also there is the matter of distan ce to be traveled to Intramural events. However, we can't reconcile this when we think back on the intramural loops of several years ago. HOPE FOR NEW START Just what makes a good intramural program: 1. Student interest; 2. Attendance; 3. Good supervision. The program is under the direction of John Rees e this year and he is certainly well-qualified for the job. Part of his college preparation as a physical education major at Penn State was devoted to intramural programs. Rees e hopes to incorporate n ew sports into the program this year. The school recently purchased two ping-pong tables and he hopes to get an intramural tournament under way soon. Volleyball has also been scheduled. However, all his work will prov~ fruitless unless the student body shows that they want the college program to continue. Or maybe we should do what' West Point does - make intramural participation a required part of the college curriculum. DEFEAT TRENTON 18~6; ROOTERS WIN UPSET By CLIFF KOBLAND · The Blue and Gold football squad picked up its first win of the current season with an impressive 18-6 win over Trenton State Teachers College at Trenton last Saturday. Coach Russ Picton's charges ruined State's Centennial Day celebration by scoring three touchdowns in the first half and were n ever headed from there on in. Paced by the brilliant running of Ronnie Rescigno, who carried for 131 of the total 279 yards the Colonels gained and scored one of the touchdowns, the State College t eam was never in the game after the opening kickoff. Dick Wozniak, flashy halfback from Nanticoke and quarterback Howie Gross added the other two colonel tallies. Boaters Win, Tie The Wilkes hooters also had a winning Saturday as they spoiled the Homecoming game by upsetting favored Elizabethtown College, 3-1, at the loser's field. The gale celebration for the "Lizzies" was ruined by a fired up Wilkes team paced by the playing of Nick Giordano and Carl Van Dyke. Carl got his seventh goal of the season in the final period. Nick picked up his first two goals of the season while playing a st ellar game at his inside left position. On Tuesday, the hooters traveled to Buckn ell to take on the Bisons. The game ended in a 2-2 deadlock after one of the most hair raising games ever witnessed by the crowd at the Lewisburg school. The. game tied at the end of the regular four quarters, 1-1, was sent (continued on page 4) �4 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON \7NowEducation Students SENIORS APPOINT 8 COUNCIL MEMBERS; I Practice Teaching PROMISE FULFILLED DEAN'S CORNER By GEORGE ELLIOT (Acting Dean of Men) One of the encouraging signs of growth and progress here at the school has been the continuing talk about the possibilities of establish,ing an honor system. It is the sort of goal that any man of ideals and of faith in the perfectability of humanity can support. The successful operation of such a system would be the greatest tribute we could receive to the rightness of what we have been trying to accomplish here at Wilkes College. One thing each of us has to consider, however, is the meaning of the word, "system". A system is something more than an organizational plan or a body of rul~s. We must not delude ourselves into confining our thoughts to a modus operandi or to the possible administration of such an idea. A system implies a coherent whole, some form of rational and regular interaction or interdependence among ideas, principles and facts. I underline the word, "principles", because I feel that the omission of this foundation-stone would defeat any system. Group honor is de.pendent upon and is the result of collective individual honor. Each person involv,ed must believe that his personal ;honor is many times more impor·tant than grades he might receive JORDAN Est. 1871 Men's Furnishings and Hats of Quality tt 9 West Market Street Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Wilkes College BOOKSTORE or success he migh achieve. He must believe that the true measure of a man is his integrity; that a man without honor is an incomplete man, a man to be pitied. He must believe that honesty is not like a cloak that can be donned at certain times and doffed at others. He must not delude himself into the idea that there are degrees of dishonesty. A man is trustworthy, or he is untrustworthy; he is honest, or he is dishonest. An honest man tries always to uphold a code of personal honor, and he needs no policeman or vigilante group to enforce it. When and whether an honor system comes to Wilkes College depends upon you, the individual students. Certainly it cannot and will not be superimposed upon you by either the faculty or the administration. It can come only when you firmly and fully believe in the sanctity, in the utility, and in the dependability of your personal honor. At that time the establishment of such a system will be easy; its success will be assured. Are you ready for the challenge? "BLOOMER GIRL" CHOSEN FOR '55 MUSICAL SHOW Wilkes College will present the musical, "Bloomer Girl", it was announced by members of Cue 'n' Curtain on Tuesday. The performance is slated to open in April and will be the second sponsored by the college. The other was "Girl Crazy" presented last year at the Irem Temple. "Bloomer Girl" will be given by Cue 'n' Curtain again this year in cooperation with the Wilkes College music department.

This is the sixth issue of this year's paper, with eighteen more slated between now and June. To most of our readers (see Wisdom of Wilkes) the paper seems to be doing fairly well so far; to us behind it, it's a source of worry on one at least particular account. It is, we feel, rather less than pointless, to put out any kind of vaguely half-way decent Beacon one year, and then to have it folldwed by nothing the next. But that's what looks to be in store. · ,,,., To put it as shortly as possible, we're top-heavy this year. That is, there's. no~ody to t~ke over when we're gone. Everybody on the editonal staff this year happens to be a senior. As originally planned, there was one underclassman on the staff, but that fell through, and now the entire executive department of the paper goes out in June. There's a crying need for sophomores and juniors. We've a fairly good-sized writing staff of frosh who are doing about as well as people with limited experience can be expected to do, but we can harr:).ly expect to have sophomores in the top drawers next year. So the point of all this should have become obvious about sj.x of seven lines ago; that we're begging any sophomore, or, b~tter, junior to come out for the paper now. With .just a little work this yeo;r, ~oroe};)ody'll ·have a lot to look f9:rwgrc;l to next Tomorrow night, it'll cost Wilkes students a buck-twenty per couple for Theta Delta Rho's annual wiener roast, held this year at O'Connell's Twin Lakes. The yearly affair starts at eight, runs till midnight. . Proceeds from the wiener roast will go into a general activities fund to aid completion of several sorority projects.

Begun last year, the award is given annually to the top-ranking girl of the junior class by Mr. Morris. John •Bucholtz was elected editorin-chief of the Manuscript, Wilkes" literary publication, and Thomas Kaska was chosen associate editor in special elections, it was learned from the members of the Manuscript staff last week. Bucholtz was chosen to fill the vacancy created when the previously elected editor, Herbert Bynder, accepted a scholarship to study at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Kaska was elected to fill the vacancy created when ;Bill DeMayo, previously elected associate editor, decided to study at Columbia University this semester: The new editorial staff of the Manuscript immediately undertook the task of sponsoring a campuswide contest for the selection of the best contribution to the school magazine. Bucholtz has been active in campus affairs during his stay here and this year promises to be an asset to the college's debating team. Location of the wiener roast this year is near Harveys Lake, west of here. One of the easier routes to the grounds is to go up Wyoming A venue in Kingston to Bennett Street, turn left onto Bennett Street and proceed through Luzerne onto the Luzerne-Harveys Lake highway. Follow the lake highway until the intersection, at the top of the last hill approaching the lake, is reached. Turn right at the intersection and proceed to a "dead end", which is Carpenters Road.

Despite the fact that Wilkes College attained its goal in the recent Community Chest campaign, the help given the chest by the student body was still somewhat picayune. Of the $1590 raised by the college the students accounted for $176, or slightly more than twenty cents per student on the average - less than the cost of a pack of cigarettes to help the community that's done so much to help the College. It is true that the $176 is the effort of less than a quarter of the student body which means that certain individuals were really quite generous. But if this is true, the other three-quarters seem to have been pretty slack. One wonders, when the need is so desperate and the work to which the Chest's funds are put so deserving, how the average student can live with his own conscience when his answer to the cry for help is "I have given all that I can, I have helped twenty cents worth, I have sacrificed to the extent of four mills a week"?

The College and the Community We hear by the way of Dr. Reif that the College is in grave datiger of failihg to meet its quota in this year's Comm.unify Chest Drive. We cannot believe, in the light of the splendid records of past years, that this situation is due to any lack of charity on the part oi the students. Rather, we trust that it is a case of oversight, which has only er shott time in which to be corrected. In a s9ciety ds interdependent as the one in which we live, we might well add it's not only thoughtless not to contribute to such a unified 9-rive, it's pointless; by failing to help others, we're failing to help ourselves.

Colonel athletic teams dropped two out of three tilts last weekend with only the soccer team coming through to put the Blue and Gold into the win column. · The hooters dropped a tough decision to Lafayette last Friday, 1-0, when the Leopards scored a goal seconds before the end of the first half and then hung on to notch their initial win of the season and send the Colonels down to their second defeat. The Wi!kesmen had 32 shots at the goal but could not produce one tally. They had better luck after Hofstra jumped into an early lead in Saturday's contest and came back to rack up win number one, 3-2. Once again, Carl Van Dyke was the Colonels' big threat, c o m in g through with all three goals. Favored Over Mules The Colonels rate as favorites over the Mules this afternoon, but will be long-odd underdogs at Philadelphia. Last week's tilts saw the Colonels try 32 shots against Lafayette and fail to produce a score~ The offense will have to be more accurate than that to win games. The Hofstra game saw 37 Wilkes shots fir ed at the goal with onlY, three getting past the goalie. On the brighter side of the ledger, coach John Reese was greeted by three additional candidates for the squad when they reported for practice Monday. While the newcomers may not see any action t his year, they will form the nucleus for future Colonel teams.

Gridders Drop Second The gridders were not so lucky up at Ithaca and went down, 12-6. Given a 7-0 lead on Ronnie Rescigno's 35-yard touchdown romp and Dick Wozniak's conversion, the Pictonmen seemed to have put their offense in their back pockets for the rest of the game. Ithaca broke through to block Howie Gross' punt in the third period for their first TD. Then, the Bombers recovered a fumble on the Colonel 20 in the fourth quarter and Gil Harris hit §_am Molisani with a 12-yard scoring toss for the winning score. to meet Temple.

SC Considers Raffles, Class Representation In addition to receiving estimates for this year's budget at its meeting Monday night, the Wilkes Student Council discussed several other items. The Council granted a request of Theta Delta Rho for $50.00 for its annual All College Tea. Requests for permission to hold social events were heard from the Chemistry Club and the IRC. The Council granted permission for the Chemistry Club square dance and for a proposed IRC raffle, to be held before Christmas. Several methods were also discused for securing better representation of the classes on the Council. The Sophomore Council members have arranged a system of office hours, making themselves available to their classmates or to anyone interested in Council issues. Les Weiner mentioned that he is planning to inform his constituents of important matters by way of brief newsletters. Still another method discussed was that of having Student Council members appear at the various club meetings to explain what the Council is doing, and answer any questions the club members might have. f. ,.

As we find some time to follow campus sports again with some amount of regularity, we find that things haven't changed much since the last time we scribbled a sports column (Dike Divots) for the Beacon, our old alma mamie. The football team is still having problems (with a new coach following closely in George Ralston's footsteps regarding greying hair, or soon will anyway) and a soccer team also having troubles, with nobody quite able to say· why. But, then, let's look at one thing at a time. Coach Russ Picton has found that all is not what is should be on the Wilkes gridiron this fall. First, he started with a decided lack of depth and experience, and practically no manpower, just mention just a few powers. Ten in the first game, his youthful and inexperienced crew had what was probably tlr ' worst cause of "fumblitis" in the school's history - 11 miscues, four of which were turned into Lebanon Valley TDs. Last week, a greatly improved Colonel tea~ showed it coul4 move against a giant Ithaca eleven, but even though miscues were much reduced, the two committed cost Wilkes the game. Certainly no one can blame a coach for his team's mistakes on the field, but Picton has his mind set to try to make up for the early losses. The soccer situation presents a different sort of problem. In the past two years as this year, we've had the horses. Of course, we've had winning seasons in the last two years, but everyone, including coaches and players felt we could have done better. The team showed that the same weakness that plagued it in the past is working overtime this year. In the first two games, the Colonels looked like they could be world beaters, up to a -p oint about 15 yeards from the opposition goal, that is. They are· still having a terrible time getting the ball past the goalie, but really, it is a mystery. And simply because they have the men who should be able to put in in the net. It seems thaf ·a little intangible spark is missing from the line (with the exception being Carl Van Dyke who has scored all five Wilkes goals to date). Losing t he first two by one 0 goal margins while outplaying the opposition points out the problem even more strongly, especially when you consider that Wilkes out-shot Lafayette almost two to one, but couldn't score. Saturday's game may have been the beginning of the end of th , problem. At least with Van Dyke hitting for three goals, we saw that there is plenty of honest to goodness potential in the line. But every other man on the forward wall is also capable. Maybe we've had all our bad breaks early in the year - that would be good. Now we can concentrate on punching through to scores. It could ,be a great year! Business Examinations In Feb., April, August The Admission Test for Graduate Study in Busines, required for entrance by a number of graduate business s c h o o l s or divisions throughout the country, will be offered on three dates during the coming year, according to Educational Testing Service, which prepares and administers the test. During 1955, many students took the test in partial satisfaction of admision requirements of graduate business schools which prescribed it. Among these institutions are the graduate business schools or divisions of the following universi- .1 ties: Carnegie Institute of Technology, Columbia, Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Northwestern, Rutgers, Seton Hall, Syracuse, U . of Chicago, U. of Michigan, U. of Pennsylvania, and Washington U. (St. Louis). A candidate must make separate application for admission to each business school of his choice and should inquire of each whether it wishes him to take the Admission Test for Graduate Study in Business and when. Since many schools select their entering classes · in the spring preceding their entrance, candidates for admission to the 1956 classes are advised to offer the February test, if possible. The Admission Test for Graduate Study in Business is not designed to test specific knowledge in specialized academic subject s. Normal undergraduate training should provide sufficient general knowledge to answer the test questions. Sample questions and information regarding registration for and administration of the test are given in a Bull etin of Information. 50 million times a day at home, at work ,,,. or on the way There's nothing like a 1.
