A turnout of 50 grid aspirants is not unusual at most colleges, but at Wilkes, where a no atltletic scholarship policy exists, it was gratifying. A week later, the squad totaled over 55 and was still grownig. Says Coach George Ralston, "Tp.ere seems to be a revitalized interest in football at Wilkes and I'm all for it. It sute strengthens our belief that scholarship should come first and then extra-curricular activities, which of course includes athletics." Wilkes announced a strict athletic policy in 19"50 which •s tated that "At Wilkes College a balance must be maintained .between scholastic and extra-curricular activities so that scholarship will not be impaired." The policy further stated, "The college gives no scholar·ships for the sole purpose of encouraging athletes to a tiend 'Wilkes College. Athletes will receive the same consideration in admissions, in the classroom., and in the awarding o fscholar.ships that is given other students." For the first few years the code hurt teams of the small school, and today its effects are still felt. Last year the football squad numbered only 33, and other sports also felt the pinch. But the teams carried on and always put on fine showings, even -though undermanned. Good proof of the systemis success is the eleven's record in six years of play. It now stands at 29 wins, 15 defeats and three ties.

PAUL B. ,BEERS Editor-in-Chief EDITORIALLY SPEAKING GREETINGS, AMNICOLA When June busted out all over, i-t did not bust out with the schedul~ Amnicola, the BEACON's partner in crime. It wasn't until mid-September, in fact, :that the Amnicola did bust out, an all-time late busting out date, incidentally, for -the annually procrastinated publication. There should be no condoning of the late actions of the Amnicola. No one should laugh and -say that it at least beat Christmas, as punctuality is one of the prime virtues of a publication. The editors are at fault, though one should remember that such a publication as a yearbook is always hard put to be on time. Its very nature makes it difficult to put it out on time. Late or not, the 1952 Amnicola is one of Wilkes' finest yearbooks. The edi1ors are to be congratulated on that score. H is full of new idea-s. It contains the first yearbook color shot.

Sure we've missed "Hotdog" around campus, but it is out there on the gridiron where his absence is most strongly felt . . . "Nick" carried lots of mail for dear Qld Wilkes in his time and all of us here knew that he was good. But last week Ralston, in one of his somber moods, what with the eleven shaping up slowly, reveaJe · just how highly he regarded our former flashback . . . Ralston, who has lost no little sleep worrying about who will fill Al's shoes at tailback, was trying to talk some of the old Nicholas ginger into about half a dozen aspiring pjgskin toters . . . George frankly admitted that he hasn't found the man who can run like "Nick" yet this year, and that it doesn't look like he's going to find such a shifty speedster for many ·years to come. Said Ralston, ex plaining how "Nick" would run the various plays from tailback, "He was just about the best runner that . I've seen. He got to the holes fast and never let up until he was either over the goal or brought down. I'm tellnya, the boy could run." Al had his best year, by the record books anyhow, in 1950 when he was chosen Small Coll ege All-State Halfback by the Associated Press sportswriters. That season ole "Twinkletoes" ran through, around, over and under the opposition to the tune of slightly more than 1000 yards . . . Ask any King's College gridder who faced little lightning at Kingston Stadium that year . .. He'll tell you as many of the Monarchs have told us that "I had a shoulder on him, but before I could close my arms, the little so and so was gone." , .. Frustrating, to say the very least . . . ' That was the last time we beat King's and it was close at that, Eddie Davis 14-12, remember. Nick and SASH MOLASH were the big men that Starting his third year on the Wilkes night, but of course as was evidenced in last year's fiasco, the i;est of varsity.

Chorus president, Flip Jones, and director Bill Crowder are gratified with the euality of some of the new voices, and are looking forward to a great year for the Collegians.

FOSTER'S Esquire Menswear * ·" · . . ... - =·=··- - - - MEET THE FACULTY ELEVENTH IN A SERIES OF FEATURE ART[CLES ON THE WILKES FACULTY Mr. Robert W. Partridge is the subject for this final MEET THE FACULTY. Mr. Partridgl! came to Wilkes in 1947 as a history professor. His duties now are: Director of Activ•ities, Director of Physical Education, coach of both the soccer and baseball teams. Mr. Partridge received his bachelor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania. This degree was in history. He returned to that same institution to be granted his master's degree ii\ education. Fraternities to which he belonged a1-e Phi Si:gma Kappa of which he was president, and Kappa Phi Ka·ppa, a national education fraternity. Mr. Partridge was also vicepresident of the senior class, captain of the soccer team, member of the baseball team and the highest honor of them all was a membership in the Sphinx Senior Honor Society. During the war, Mr. Partridge served in the U. S. Navy which he entered in 1941. In 1942 he was commissioned an ensign. Serving on the U. S. S. ·Columbia, a light cruiser, he ·participated in eight major campaigns, one of which was the Solomons campaign. He later transferred to the IU. S. S. Topeka, also a light cruiser. On the Topeka, Mr. Partridge participated in two more campaigns, and saw duty at Okinawa and Japan. Speaking on his navy duty, he said, "Toward the end of the war, there was a time when I didn't see land for 84 days. This was very unusual as prior to this, we would pµt into port at least once a month to replenish our supplies." He went on to say, "My greatest thrill came when we engaged the Japanese fleet off Bouganville island in the battle of Empress Augusta Bay; a battle we won even though outnumbered." Mr. Partridge was discharged with the rank of lieutenant. Speaking on hygiene and ·p hysical education, Mr. Partridge said, "Hygiene and physical education are necessary to everyone. The two should be learned by everyone whether attending colleg,e or ,n ot." ,Concerning the physical education at Wilkes, he went on to say, "Our purpose in this course is to teach a few games which can be used even after college to keep in shape." Questioned about his first degree (BA in History) Mr. Partridge replied, "As far back as I can remember, I have always like history. I taught it when I first came to Wilkes and I'm looking forward to teaching it again this summer." "My interest in sports also goes back a_s far as I can remember. I think I can honestly say that I've Uked sports ever since I have been old enough to lift a ball," he said. "However, I can trace my interest in teaching back to my high school instructors. They instilled · the incentive and desire to teach in me. Their m,ethod:s a-nd attitudes were of the type that were very inspiring." Mr. Partridge said that his duties as Director of Activities are, "to coordinate the activities .p rogram and bring it to its highest level. By this program," he went on to say, "we hope to afford opportunities to socialize which is a very important phase of college life°:" -~ Speaking On Wilkes "I believe that Wilkes College is a dynamic force in Wyoming Valley and it will continue in that role for some time. Wilkes is becoming known nationally and even internationally. Our school has a sound academic basis and a good hardhitting faculty. I further believe that Wilkes is a definite help to the community." Mr Partridge cop.eluded by say- ing, "One of the nicest factors about Wilkes is that it is a small college where the faculty can get to know the students well, even to the point of knowing them by their first names · and not by a number as I was known at Penn. One of the most important factors we should take into consideration is that Wilkes College is a growing institution and how it grows depends a lot on us. We should meet this challenge with determination." Wilkes Male Chorus ·scores At Assembly T:he Wilkes Col,l egians scored another gr.eat ,suc-cess at the college assembly in .the Jewish Community Center yesterday morning. Performing under .the skillful lead.er.ship of Bill •C rovider, freshman director, the hoy,s went through their nmrlber with profe;;,sfonal ease · and competence. Numbers rang.i. ng from the dignified a.nd powerful "One World" anthem to the graceful, .rhythmic lov·e song, "Waters Ripple and Flow" were himdled with equal faci.Jity. Adding to the .sparkle of .t he program was the chorus' rendition of th.e peppy no v e It y .tune, "Johnny Schn1oker", an ,adaptation from ,an o!<l Germain folksong. The soloists in the program were: William Foote, Dick Gribble, Anthony Safranco, and F.Ji.p Jones. Proof of their exceient :performances was the long applause at the end of each of their numbe-vs. The Collegians f.eel that .the cordi-a) r,eception _given -to their first two public appearances warrants the continuance ,o f ·a ,n active male chorus at Wi,l kes. The boys think special credit i,s due .to Bill Crowder, director, and Jake Kovalchek, president, for their efforts in establishing a permane nt organ17.ation. New Members Elected To Student Council O.n the second of May, the S.tudent Council elections w~r,e heldunder the auspic,es, of Joe Reynolds, council president. 'Dhe senior members of the organiziation are: James Reynolds, Isabel Ecker, E.1aine Nesbitt, and Anthony Giusti. Juniors are Wayne Ma,dden, James Moss, Michael Lewis, and Nancy Hannye. The sophomore electees are Thomas Thoma.'S, Robert Reynolds, James Neveras and Arthur Hoover. . ' Next Wed'Il.esday, the council will be turned over to the new officers at a reorganization meeting.

For -centuries .physici,a ns have pondered over the problem and so far have been unable to suggest any pos-sible ·c ure for the suffering victims. But, ,a fter years ·o f mental oonf,Jict, I -have discovered a four-way -t echnique which, if followed carefully, will enable the .student to live 'through the exam period with a mi:nimum of hardships. ,· First, -GET PI.JENTY OF SLEEP ... .during the daytime! I think you wiU find th.at long hours of uninterrupted s.lumb,er in the evening are unobtainable ,t o the student inflicted with -e xaminitis. Second, DON'T DRINK HARSH DRU1GS. In order to do your best in the next day',s exam you must refrain from gulping harsh drugs. Hadacol, lemonade, ,p rune juice and other :potent solutions are definrtely out. T,h ird, KNOW YOUR PROFE-S,SOR'S F.AIMILY. That',s right. Be s-oci.able. S,pend the evening before the exam in pleas-ant oonver.sation with your profes.sor',s family. Who knows, maybe you can persuade someone in ·h is family to persuade him ,to ask only semi-difficult questions - questions like "When was the War of ~12 fought?" "Who -s leeps in Grant's Tomib ?" "What ,color is ,t he iblac·~ board ?" etc. In thi·s• way, anyone with even the ,slightest degree of mentality ,c an walk away from ah· exam with utmost self-confidence. Fourth, BE FAMILIAR WITH MORSE CODE. With such knowl~ edge, you can ,be sure of answering ev-e ry question correctly. Here is the idea: bribe, •or -shaU we s,ay "enwiggle" ·one of your friends to sit home wi,th your t,extbook and lecture notes in ,o ne h and and a wireless sending set in the other.

Many 1/ecent developments were presented including a 10,000 Vl'.att J.amp used for lighting Hollywood stages. A model of Thomas Edison's 'hail'lpin in a .bottle' latlllp which was rated at 100 watts was compared with the modern 100 watt lamp which prov.i des more lig,ht at a fraction of the cost. A display of lamps for s•p ecial use, such as i.ndoors and outdoors, the 'grain of wheat' latlllp for medical use as well as others for ,specific lighting jobs were shown. An interesting portion of the show included 1Jhe use of lamps depending upon -electrical dis•charg,e in a gas to produce light. The sodium lamp which is used to penetrate fog, and · the mercury lamp much used i,n '.f actories were shown an:d t heir effect on various colors demonstrated. Their lack of certai.n wave lengths in .the Ught spectrum wa,s made evident by the use of colored cloth. A color corrected meroury lamp was also demonstrated -to s'how the effect of replacing ,s ome of tJhes·e color,s in the light :produced. A ~blacklight' lamp was also us-ed to show the effect of ultra-violet light. Some of the billboards in Wyoming Valley are at .present using this ty,p e of light on their displays.

CAMPUSES NOW HAVE 30 462 FOREIGN sru'DENTS New York, N.Y.-(1.P.) - The final returns from the Institute of International Education's census of foreign students .i n the United States are in. Our colleges and univ,er,sities, today, have j,u,st about twfoe as many students from a.broad as there were in 1946. The presence ITT 30,46·2 foreig_n students on U. S. campuses-some 600 more >than last year-Slh ows that despite monetary exchange barr~ern and the conti-nuation of a critical international situa<lrlon, the flow O'f students from -a broad to the United States is holdµig its own. The Institute reveals that t!he leading fiields of ,study for for,ei.gn -students ihave remained fairly con,stant -o ver the .p ast few years: engineering, Jirst; followed b-y the social s ciences; liberal arts and medical sciences; then the physical sciences; business -s tudies, religion; education; agricultu:re; and fine arts. Particularly significant is the fact that the social -sci,ences are attracting increasing numbers o.f students. They ,h ave moved from third to second place this year; in 1949, .t hey ranked fourth. Where-' as tradi tion,ally ,sotudents hav.e come to this country clhi~fly for THE VARSITY LIMP By PAUL B. BEERS BASEBALL, ANYONE? 'Dhe baseball team isn't doing so good. This ·ir&n',t a knock ,ei,ther, not at all, just a fact. After thoroughly thra,shing Wyoming Seminary last Tuesday with one of those foot-ball scores, the Colonels went over to ,Sem and got beat, 4-3-. On Saturday a big Ithaca cam,e into town, swung a -mighty .bat, and cru,shed us, 11..2. !Many folks have •boon wondering and shaking ,t heir heads. In the firat Sem game we looked wonderful. The boys were actually playing ball as of old, which means hitting the ,g ood ones and doing what one ou,g,h t to when upon the green. tBut then on Friday, with many folfowers eager for the ,b oys .t o take a second one, the team folded like a.n accordian, letting the same pitcher that they had murdered on Tuesday handcuff them on Friday. The many followers w,ere disappointed. Saturday's ,g ame ·has an excuse. Ithaca was good, Goa.ch Bucky Freema,n, an old major leaguer him.~lf, has s ome fine prospects and a fairly well-rounded clUJb. Thris club is so fairly well-rounded that an old Wilkes aCEl ,pitcher, John Zigm-und, -Sllt on .t he ·b ench. This to many Wilkes rooters is being well-rounded indeed, as Ziggy is known around this Valley as a very excellent twirler and a not-too-bad slug,g er either. The coming schedule for the club looks ,something like thi-s. Today the Colonels ,p lay Utpsala rC-Ollege in East Orange, N. J. Tomorrow· they travel -t o Lycoming College in Williamsport. Neither of these· schools are as clas~y ,as Ithaca, ·b ut they'll still be !l)retty fair game · for us. On ,M onday East Stroudsburg State Teachers College will -be . ,here. Last year we did a nice job on -t he Teachers, with Zi,ggy thu.mp,ing a tremendous blast, but t~ey ,shou,ld offer us mucli trouble this year. On Wednesday the team takes on Ha.rpur College. in En9icottr N. Y., and next Saturday Susqueha,nna will entertain us in Selins·grove, Pa. Somewhere in among all that stu:f.f there should he a win or two.

(I.P.)-"A teaoher',s effectiveness depends upon whether he reali.z,es .that he is not teaching eng.inee11ing, but that he is teaching students ,engin-eering," declared Dr. -M. D. :Steer, diirector of ,th-e ,speech and hearing clinic •a t Purdue U:nive11sity, dn a recent .talk on "Speech .in itihe Classroom" before seventy-five members of the General Engineering School.

'!Tue GE .teachi,n g committee on this oampus has been a ctively work,ing on the program of ithe improvement of teaching standards over three years. In his speeoh, Dr. Ste.er covered what he termed the basic essentials of successful J.ecturing and the impoo,tance of v·oice in the lecture. Self-confidence, a back gro und of knowledg-e, and skill in deJ.ivery were emphasized a,s the thre.e -essentials needed for an effective lecture. Dr. Steer pointed out that the normal reaction of a -t~oher is to feel unc-o mfor.table and nerv•o us in fr-0nt of a class. Instead of trying .to concen.tirate on overcoming his ,stag-e fright and losing control of 'the cla,ss, Dr. S.teer recommended that the dnstructor concentrate on 1ihe thought of t he lecture; "i-n 90 seconds the nervousness will -s tart to disappear."

In recent years there ihas been an increase in the amount of history ,taught in our coJ.leges and universities, he said. A reoent New York Times survey has given impetus to this trend. Dr. Thatcher s·aiid that -t his s urvey di,sclo.sed that many colleges did not requi.r e the teaching of Amer.ican hi.story. However, because of this survey, the conditions have been g,r eatly improv-ed, in fact some medical and engineering s-chools have added an ex:tra year to their oour,s es for the study of social sciences. "The fi,e lds opened by the .;.tud y of hi story are r ather limited," he stated. T,ea•ching and government service are about the only fields fur ,t he historian. T.h ere are also a f,e w priva:te vesearoh orgamiza.tions. Commenting on the ma x ,i m, "History r-epeats .itself," Dir.

The two Wilkes poets, alon ·' with Wend ell Cla:r,k, had been published in the National Poetry Association's recent college anthology and· the Manuscript secured reprint rights to the three poems. With deadline approaching, Warmouth could not find a copy of his poem among his bales and bales of half-finished and rejected writings. In desperation he wrote to the NP A, but to no avail. Due to some snafu, the home office of the publishers had lost even the file copies, and the "Red Rooster's Destiny" seemed to be its exclusion from the Manuscript. Wandering helplessly and hopelessly about Osterhout Lrbrary, he was accosted by Connie who listened to his woes and informed him that she just happened to have the book in which it appeared. It was turned over to him that night and the poem will now b1,,, included in Manuscript this spring, along with "Can't Sit Still" by Connie, and "Propinquity" by Wendell Clark.

Chwalek, Director of Placement, has announced a weekly series _of Senibr Employment Orientation Seminars to be held at the Lecture Hall, beginning next Tuesday morning at 11. All seniors are invited to attend the sessions which are designed to· assist Wilkes graduates in selecting, obtaining and holding a business position. In addition, considerable attention is to be given to review and analysis of the personal \relationship of students to our sys. tem of free enterprise. The practical lectures, ,b y s-p ecialists in each field, Chawlek stated, will also be concerned with obtaining employment in fields commensurate to the applicants interests and training, with the viewpoint to avoiding unfortunate choice in careers. Lectures, he said, are to be announced later. There · will be no tests, nor are there any required textbooks. There is, howe'ver, a wealth of reference material available at the Guidance Center, Ashley Hall. Sessions scheduled for the Seminar are as follows: Session Number One, April 8: The Importance of Proper Placement and the Functions of the Placement Bureau. Session Number 2, April 15: Qualification Record Forms are to be completed at this meeting. Two photographs of the applicant are required for this form, and they are due by April 21. Session Number 3, ,A pril 22: Employer Contact and Letters of 1\I>Plication. The importance of establishing a good first impression is the keynote. · Session Number 4, April 29: Personal Interview in Progress· After Employment. Session Number 5, May 6: -Progress and Instability vs. Personal Security. Session Number 6, May 13: Selection of Proper Occupation and Employer. No other college, Mr. Chwalek said, 6ffers such a service to its students. It is stressed that attendance at these s~ssions is not required of the seniors, but it should be pointed out that the very nature of the series is important enough to warrant the presence of all who are scheduled to graduate and look f or employment. The Wilkes Debaters left yesterday for Princeton, New Jersey, where they are competing in the Eastern Forensic Tournament. Due to a broken rib, Fred Davis was unable to make the trip. Doris Gates is substituting. The tournament, the last of the season for the Wilkesmen, brings together the best colleges and universities in the East. At the threeday meet, ending tomorrow, each team will debate six times on each side of the current debate question. Dr. Arthur Kruger, debating coach, is optimistic over the chances of his boys who have established a record of 20 wins and 3 losses thus far in the season. 'Ah, Wilderness!'

The doors will be opened at 7:30 with the festivities commencing at 8:30 P. M. As there will be no admission charge, it is expected that there will be a capadity crowd in attendance. ' The Pageant is under the direction of Robert Partridge with Miss Charlotte Lord of the G. A. R. High School English department and meml?er of the Wilkes Evening School faculty acting as narrator. The Pageant will featur e the folk dancing, folk singing, and hymns of twelve ethic groups. Each one of these groups : Greek, Irish, Italian, Jewish, Lithuanian , Negro, Polish, Russian, Slovak, Swedish, Syrian and Welsh-will be on hand on show their traditional costumes and dances. In addition to the "liye" p erformances to be held on the Gymnasium floor proper, there will be an exhibit held in ·the lobby. This exhibit will consist of one table for each group fashioned in their nattve dinner settings. In this way the china, linens, silver, centerpieces, fo_od and table " objects d'art" of each nationality will be displayed. The purpose of the Pageant as stated in the theme of the United Nationalities Pa,geant written by Al Groh is to "demonstrate that t,h:is nation i,s a pr-0jection of every ma-n's, every rra•tiona:li ty',s dream; that the song-11 and dances of each ' nationality reflect the devotion of its people for a great dream; the liberation of the human spirit imprisoned by the treatment of inhuman beings."

Charles B. Reif, chair-man of the Biology Department, has been teaching here at Wilkes since 1942. He came. to W.ilkes aite.r receiving his P.h. D. in Biology. All three of his degr,ees: bachelor and master of arts and Ph. D., were granted by the University of Minnesota . Asked about: his choice of Biology fur his profess.ion, Dr. Reif stated, "As far back as I can remember, I have always been in,t erested in biology. Fi.sh.ing trips · with my father aroused an int erest in me-th e ,o utdoors." Dr. Reif's interest .in the outdoors m anifested itself in many ways. He joined the Boy Scouts 'of America and worked himself up the ranks, eventually becoming an eagle scout with two silver palms. The United States F>ores.try Service uti.lized D;r. Reif',s talents by appointing. him a foreman in the Civilian, Co!lJServation Corps in 1936 and 1938. For fifteen summers, Dr. Reif worked as a professi•o nal counselor ·a t suimmer camps. Through thls counseling work and his boy scout exper,i ence, Dr. Reif has bec·o me a very proficient .swimmer, and has twi ce saved pevsons from drowning. Dr. Reif served in the U.S. Navy for two years. He saw action at Iwo J.ima and Okinawa. While at Minnes•o ta, Dr. . Reif served as · Curator of Education at the Minnesota Museum of Natural History, a university institution. Speaking on Biology "Biology today is inseparable from its associated .field,s such as chemistry and Il!edicine. The biologist who ·does not wish to take · chemistry or go into medicine has a mor-e 'limited future; in fact, about the only field the general biol'Ogist can enter, is that of education; that is to teach it." Dr. Reif went ·on to ,say, "The person with bio1'ogical training cannot ·s et up a shop or business as the · p,el'lson with business training does, rather he must coordinate his ·-training with some other field." !When asked w:hy medical sc.hools are so difficult to enter, Dr. Reif said that t'here are too few medical .school,s in the country for one thing. Secondly, for the 7000 placements these schools offer annually, there are ten applications· f'Or ,ea.oh place available. · Many •s tates with fi.ne univerisiti~s, have no medic.al scihoo1s due to state antivivisection laws,_ . People generally f.ail to recognize the role of the biologist. They fail to s ee that many of their everyday problems c-0uld be ,solved with the biologist's help. For instance; in :regard to farming, it' would be extremely beneficial for a c·o mmunity about the size of a township to hire a biologist. This biologist .could ,a ssist the farmers no end, by carefully watching crops, insect p,es:ts, animal pests, s-0il management, etc. At the present time, most of the positions open to biol-Ogists are government jobs. "'Dhere is a dire need for private capi,tal to ,s ponsor bi·olog.ical research," he said. In speaki•n g on Wilkes, Dr. Reif referred to the eig,hth mark of an E,'.d ucated Ma~, whicp concerns par,t icipation. "The students here at Wilkes should participate more as opposed to merely being s pec;tators .in their ca,mpus organizat ions. Many students fail to realize the importance of extra-curr.icular activities," Dr. Reif stated. WhHe at Minnesota, Dr. Reif belonged to the following fraternities: Phi Delta Theta, Sig.ma Xi, a national ,science honor society, Gamma Alpha, a graduate hono.r society. National -0r state organizations to which Dr. Reif belongs are: American Association for the Adva•ncement of Science; Pennsylva.n ia Academy of Science; Ameri,c an Society of Limnology and Oceanogra'p hy; M.ic.roscopical Society of America; American Forestry Association; M.innesota Ornithologi,sts Union; Phycological (not psychological) Society of America. D.r. Reif i,s also a · member of the Letter•men's Club of Minnesota. As an undergr,a duate he ~as a member of the track team. He is married .to the former Garoly·n HoMa, wh-0 worked at Wilkes ,College for sev,en years. Among hi,s hobbies, br. Reif includes: photogr.a'PhY, woodwork ing and d r a w i n g. H,e has built some of hi,s own furniture. Last •s ummer he ,s tarted to buHd hi,s own home ,out at Buckwheat Hollow, ·Penna. As avocation and vocation, Dr . .Reif iUustrates many of his experiments vyith the skill of an artist. ACTIVITY SCHEDULE FOR COMING WEEK Sunday, .March. 30-United Nationalities Pag,eant.

Pairtridge, Director •o f Activities After discussing each ::i,spirant for the presidential office of the United States the Wilkes IRC took a student poll in as,s embly last Thunsday. The results, as interpreted by Dr. Hugo Mailey, ar~: General Eisenhower received 29 percent of the total vote; foHowing him is President Truman with 14 percent; Taft with 13 percent; Kefauver with 12 percent and Warren with 7 percent. It may be noted bhat 13 percent of the students indi cated they had no opinion. 'l he wo men went all out for Ike, giving him 45 percent of their vote. The man the women dis liked •most was Taft, who got only 7 percent of their vote. The men a lso gave Ike t heir popular vote of 34 perc•ent but t hey spread their votes among the various candi•dates. If the election is close this year the women could de<;ide it. The lowercla,s smen showed that they wanted Ike more strongly :than did the up·p,ercJassmen, by giving him 60 percent of their vote to the 40 percent of the U'Pperclassmen. As for the party vote, the cam pus favom the Republican Party by a 2-1· vote. The people who favored the Republican Party said they did so. becaus•e it. stands for the betterment of the common people. These ,sB,me people thought the Democratic Party stands for waste and high spending. Those w ho favored the Demo-· cratic P.arty sa,id it .stands for the c o m m on man. These people ,said t he Republican P.arty stands for the monied few. By a 2-1 vote the campus thinks that the two m,ost impol1ta·nt issues of the campaign will be foreign policy and corruption in governJJ:nent. Members of the !RIC who pre·seillted the candid.ates to the student body were: Charles Caffrey, Art Hoov,e r, Walter Ohapko, Connie Smith, Henry Merolli, and Lou Steck. Doris Gates presided.

Kruger. After fiv e hours of intervi ews in Philadelph ia on March 14, Fred Davis, a senior, was selected for the Executi ve Training program, at the college level, of the Federal Res erve System. The appointment, a much sought after one (only three graduates are chosen from the entire 3rd Federal Reserve District, which includes Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland) provides for two years of t raining in every phase of centml bankiing and additional schooling at the University of Pennsylvania fo.r a Master's degree. The Federal Reserve System estimates its cost for training Davis will be $10,000, approximately $6,600 of which will go to Davis in salary while he is learning banking research and operations. Aft!')r he completes the two-year program, he will become a junior executive in the Federal Reserve System and will have excellent prospects of advancing in the field of banking. The directors who interviewed Davis were so impressed by the way he answered questions under fire that they de'viated from their usual practice of informing prospective candidat es by mail and chose him on the spot. Davis is well known on the Wilkes campus, having been active in the Economics Club, the IRC, the Amnicola and the Debating Society. He is perhaps best known ~s a debater, having served as president of the society and compiled the best record . ever made 'by a Wilkes debater. In three years against the best in intercollegiate debating, he has compiled the phenomenal record of 30 wins to '3 losses. He attributes mucfu of his success in the interviews at Philadelphia to the debate training received from his coach, Dr. Arthur N. Kruger, director of debate at Wilkes. Among honors Davis has received this year are his selection to "Who's Who In American Colleges and Universities" and "Leaders In American Colleges and Universiti es".

BEERS THE END OF NOTHING We are now in the period of the school year where the sporting scene shivers and shakes on the vine and almost withers for lack of attention. Except for ballplayers throwing balls one way and another around In the Gym. nobody is doing much at all in the athletic world. Basketball is over and so Is wrestling. Even the cynics have forgotten about football and soccer. The same crowd that attends the muscle events don't go in for debating, and vice versa, sq the old pros that sit around the campus ,:ire in a dither as to what to talk abou\.

Outside of a few sharp cracks at various marking policies. most scholars now sit and stare sadly into their cup of coffee, saying absolutely nothing. All this is just peaches and cream for any sports writer. There Is nothing like a good old bed of nothingness to \ ,,rite about.

Many Wilkes-Barreans will remember Ham Fisher as the young journalist who got his start at the age of 20 by working for the Wilkes-Barre Record. After working there for two years he left to take a job with the Wilkes-Barre Times-Leader, and later with the Pictorial. Finally he transferred to a New York syndicate where 1le originated the "Joe Palooka' ' comic stri-p. This creation was not accepted at first, for when Mr. Fisher reached New York in 1926 he held various jobs, started a newspaper which folded, and went through a stock market crash. He returned home ,t o Wilkes-Barre, only to set out again after revising the comic strip . This time he met with success for today Joe Palooka appears in 600 papers with the approximate r circ ulation of 45 million.

Member Intercollegiate Press BDITORIAL WE POINT WITH PRIDE Our debating society, under the direction of Dr. Arthur N. Kruger, has proved its worth to · Wilkes College. A finer, more thorough public rela-tions job has never been done by any other campus organization than the nationwide spreading of Wilkes' greatness through the excellence of our debaters. At the recent Brooklyn and Penn State tournaments, our dis- putants amazed the judges with their effectiveness of presentation, argument and clarity of organiza,tion, development of evidence, adaptation to the opponent's case, rebuttal, and ability to clearly define the issue. , In the Brooklyn Tournament our logicians tied with Notre Dame for first place honors in a contest involving 52 ' colleges . and universities, including Army, Navy, Fordham, University of Pennsylvania, Carnegie Tech, and Colgate. At the Penn State tournament the Wilkesmen took a firm grip on keen competition and skyrocketed their score to an incredible l 00 per cent victory. Only Mother Nature could stop the group's rapid climb toward final first place honors. Now a part of Wilkes College history is the fact tha·t an unexpected snowstorm prevented the debaters from returning to the tournament for the fourth ro~d to defend their 6-0 record. In saluting the Debating Society it is only proper that the Beacon direct its praise to the five persons immediately responsible for the group's overwhelming success: Dr. Kruger, who in addition to his teaching committments and yearbook adviser duties is . taking time out to develop the talents of the deba,ters and to accompany •them on tournament trips (Dr. Kruger, incidentally, is the founder of the Debating Society), and the debaters themselves: Fred Davis and John Murtha, who have proved their abilities to contest with words, to handle brilliantly the negative side of a dispute; James Neveras and James "Roxy" , Reynolds, who have scored highly for their abilities ~o copy the affirmative. The Beacon feels that the Debating Team's phenomenal soar to success is only· the beginning. We are certain that the group will continue to rise in pres·tige and popularity, and are confident that the Wilkesmen will place high among the 28 colleges arid universities .c ompeting in the National Invitational Debate Tournament at West Point next month. The Beacon points with pride to a group of whom we can justly be proud-the Wilkes College Debaters. --------------QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS CONCERNING THE AMERICAN RED CROSS CAMPAIGN Q. Does the Red Cross ever charge for cigarettes marked "gift of the American Red Cross"? A. No. Red •Cross does not sell and has never sold cigarettes! To do so would be a violation of Bureau of Internal Revenue regulations. In some instances, shipments of cigarettes marked "Gift of the American Red Cross" were delivered through error to post exchanges and sold, while Red Cross received the unmarked cigarettes shop for them. Sometimes it is misunderstood. Patients in neighboring beds, seeing money change hands and cigarettes or other articles passed from the hospital worker to the patient, may have concluded that Red Cross supplies were being sold. - ~~~ssga:~p~t:i: ~:~:stolen and fell into the!1!o~ti::~ hands of balck marketeers who sod them. There were only two definitely known instances of illegal sale of Red Cross cigarettes that involved Red Cross employees. Both employees were tried for the offense and dismissed from service. Frequently hospital w o r k e r s made purchases for ·p atients.

AT TEA TODAY Life With RADIO By CHUCK GLOMAN History· tells us that in the late 1860's a Scottish physicist named James Clerk Maxwell unified the discoveries of Ampere, Oersted, Faraday and Henry into a single theory of electromagnetics, paving the way for what is known to the modecl world as "radio"-an ingenious device that, in my opinion, wa~ invented primarily to teach mankind the blessings of silence. S~nce the 1920's the radio has ibecome a vital part ,o f every Amell"ican home. The radio is faml!iar to ev&-yone. Yes, the .radio is wo.thin tM reach of all, and ,i t's a wonder more a<ren't smas,h.ed. W,h y? Weil, just think of those early pioneet.s. They spent countles·s years perf.ecting a device whieh they thought would prove to be a boon to mankind. Actually, if they ' had h.ad any idea of what their "boon" would become, they would have exclaimed in do.,s gust, "Oh, what's the used!" When someone turned on his boon back in 1000, the early day,s of radio, there emitted fa·om tM squawking rect,a,ngular box a highpitched, excited voice saying·: "Ladies and gentlemen!

Decker, moderator of Town Meeting, announcing that the subject for the discussion will be "Should We Fear The New Germany?" De_ba1ing this crucial question which caused much argumentation and concern in both official and public circles in recent months will be Cecil Brown, world-famous radio commentator, and George N.

COLLEGE BEACON Friday, March 7, 1952 TWO CAMPUS CRITICS DISCUSS ONE-ACTS Volleyball Tournament PRESENTED BY CUE 'N' CURTAIN PLAYERS Postponed To April 19 By THOMAS THOMAS The three one-act plays, "Pipes of Dunbar", "Short of Murder" and "Hands Across The Sea"; which were presented on February 27, 28 and 29, were a huge success with our students and their friends who cmne to see ,t hem. On Friday night some of the audience had to stand on their toes in the doorway to catch a glimps·e of the actions IT.M's success i.s partly credi,t ed ·t o . the humorous ·ad-libs of the more expe11ienced p}ay,ers like Peter Margo, Ann Az.at and Chuck Gloman. There were, however, a few mistakes; fox ,i nstance, Aggie Jones asked -Sara11h .Simpson Lf she :had "a lock to firt ,t he key," or on Wednesday night when "Short of Murder" was barely "short of murder" because a cue was confused ·and four pages of •t he script were skipped. Mr. Groh,. adviser of the Dramatic Club,said tha.t <the one fault of the performers was th,e atrocious diction they used. He said that it was not their fault or the fault of Cue 'n' ,curtain, but that it is the habit of atmost everyone today to .s peak dn a car,eless, uneducated manner. P,r obably the six most impressive players were Peter Margo, Ann' Aziat, Shirley -S,als·b urg, Bert St,ein, Ohuck Gl'oman, and Pat Virtue. ·P ete, Ann, Bert, and -Shirley have appeared in many W.ilkes productions whereas this was Pat's and Chuck'.s first attempt for C'n'C . . The ,cue p' Cwtai<n has alt,ered its method of , directing one-act plays. F·r om now on, it will be in the hands of the .students. Thiis will give the regular members of Cu,e 'n' Cu11tain a chance to see acting fr-0m the critical, objective point of yiew and, ,a s a result, improve their stage abiliities. Since only -0ne 3-ect and three 1-iact plays a semester do not giv,e new people enough tinie to become experienced, Peter Margo is going to start dasss for ithos,e Wiho are interested in tihe stage. These classes will probably be held on Friday afternoons at four. They wiill alt,ema,te each week; first, a class of acting; then, a class of directing. Another new policy of Cue 'n' Curtain i:s that, from now on, oneac>t plays are open to everyone o.n campus, whether h,e is a member of the club -0r not. The reason for this is that the dramatics club l,s probably the only place on ca.mpus where a person may express himself. . The -0ther members acting for the first time at Wilkes were Sheldon S e1hneider, Pet,er Wurm, Margaret Luty, Judith Hopkins and Lou Steck. · Special recognition is to be made to the following people:. Peggy Wdllfams, who stepped into "Short of Murder" as Lucy Moore on Thursday night. She did this without any rehea11Sals. Jack "Krankosky, who designed for "Pipes of Dunbar" ibhe most effective s,et that we have ever had here at Wilkes.

A sparse handful of people turned up Wegnesday night. 'Perhaps the a~swer is free dishes on opening night. A polished staff of performers took a firm grip on Noel Coward in "Hands Across the Sea" and never let go until the final curtain. The author of this comedy, intended to be sophisticated, would have winced and moaned at the zany touch introduced by such outlandish Britishers as ,Chuck Gloman, Bert Stein, Addie Elvis, Billy Crowder, Bob Evans, Dale Warmouth, Helen Brown, Pete Margo and Ann Azat who comprised the cast. Ann· Azat, who also directed the show, took the part of a confused nitwit ·who could not remember just where she met whom, and spent the rest of the play proving it. Along with her stage husband P et e Margo, she proved she could handle comedy admirably as a change of pace from drama. Only straight man of the run turned out to be Bob Evans. Bill Crowder assumed a 'Jeeves" role for his brief appearance and .never lost a line or a seltzer bottle. Instrumental for, Noel •C oward's incipient ulcers was Chuck Gloman, man about the Be'acon, who proved that sophisticated comedy and vaudeville can mix. His carefulhplotted ad libs turned the staid livingroom of Lady Gilpin into a monkey cage now ,and then, but the plot escaped unscathed. Dale War.mouth, as the henpecked husband of Helen Brown, was to be commended for his rapid memorization of his lines, most of which consisted of "Yes, dear", and "Very 1well, dear".

Wendell Clark, editor in chief, wishes to remind those who intend to turn in manuscripts that only a month remains before the copy must be turned over to the printer. "Quite a number of students," Clark said, "have expressed a desire to submit something to the Manuscript, but they have neglected to do so as yet. We would appreciate it if they would drop their material in the Manuscript box in Kirby Hall as soon as possible." Manuscript will be produced in offset this spring, he explained. This places much more work in the hands of the staff. For instance, the entire script must be typed tw.ice by June Stevens of the dean's office, and she should have as much done before the deadline as possible. Once in a while people on campus a sk questions which seem to reveal that there 11-re some misconceptions about the content and the purpose of the magazine. In order to clear up the minds of students, members of the staff have prepared a question and answer series which follows: What sort of material does the Manuscript want? Everything-essays, poems, stories, plays. The Manuscript is interested in class-prepared work as well as original contributions. A well-rounded selection of the best writing available is the Manuscript's aim. Does one have to be a member of the J...iterary Society or an English major? No. The fact that the Manuscript staff members are also in the Litera,r y Society is coincidental. Some of our best articles and stories nf the past have been writt en by people outside the English department. Isn't the Manus<:ript interested in "l-0ng-hair stuff" ? If it's good, yes, but Manuscript is not an organ exclusively dedicated to the literate. The best answer is found in the 1951 issue which contained many selectiols on the light side. Who reads the Manuscript? The majority of copies go to students, to whom it is distributed without <:barge. In addition, hundreds are mailed to colleges and p ublic libraries, other college mag- azine staffs, and people in public It is restrictive only in that it antilife. cipates actions by the afore-mentioned tw-o percent and seeks to protect the inerests of the college LETTERS TO THE EDITOR from their thoughlessness.

Since February 13 the student teachers have been averaging two hours a day in actual student teaching. In addition to actually teaching, they confer with the supervising teacher about the daily lessons and -teaching procedures in general, and observe other teachers-total about four hours a day. Each future teacher will engage in twelve to fifteen weeks of classroom teaching; a minimum of ninety hours, student teaching and a total of 180 hours in all teaching activities is required. The students will conclude their practice teaching on May 14 to repare for final exams which will not be based primarily upon their student teaching but upon their' six hours a week course on teaching procedures. · All students will be rated by their individual supervis·ng teachers. Students will also receive a report of their .p rogress from a joint report of the Education Commission of Wilkes College, Dr. Vernon G . .Smith and Mr. J. Ernest ·C rane. The final grade of the student teacher is ·b ased upon his work in the 6-hour course and his work in the classroom. Dr. Smith states, "The important thing in student-teaching is that it acts as a mirror in which the :student can see himself as a teacher. He can discover his own faults .and assets in actual teaching practice." The course also enables the future teacher to observe school .activities and glimpse the life he Twenty-three seniors are now practice-teaching at local high schools. These students have been placed as follows: Coughlin, Robert L. Benson, Marilyn Broadt, Edwin E. -Cobleigh, Charles F. Eastman, Ann Nancy Fox, Joseph P. Hirko, Gerald M. Ostroskie, How.ard W.

(continued on page 4) SINGERS NEEDED FOR MALE CHORUS The first meeting of the Wilkes Male Chorus was held in Gies Hall on Tuesday with sixteen potential vocal musicians present. Under the direction of Bill Crowder, the boys went through some trial selections, some of which were harmoniously done, others were just done. Judging from the enthusiasm at the first ·meeting, we can look forward to big things from this group. Any male member of the Wilkes student body who can carry a tun~ is welcome to join the chorus. There is a special need for tenors. The next meeting will be held in the main music room of Gies Hall on Tuesday at 12 o'clock. DEBATERS LEAVE FOR STATE TOURNAMENT Four members of the Wilkes Debating .Society left this morning for Bethlehem to represent Wilkes in the Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Forensic · Tournament today and tomorrow. Dr. Art~ur Kruger and his team of James Reynolds, James Neveras, John Murtha and Fred Davis will compete against teams from 31 other Pennsylvania colleges. As usual they will be up against many larger colleges, such as Bucknell, Lafayette, Lehigh, University of Pennsylvania, P en n 'S t at e and Temple. The fifth annual tournament is sponsored by the Debating Association of Pennsylvania Colleges. The two-day program will take place on the campus of Lehigh •University and consists of oratorical, extemporaneous speaking and debating contests. Once in a blue moon a student has a chance to defeat a teacher. Once in a blue moon a teacher can come out of a classroom and challenge the you,nger generati'on on a battlefield. And once in a blue moon can students watch the battle of the ages, the young and the old men and women. With the previous thoughts in mind, the senior class is ready to present the second annual "Senior Spectacle" in all of the color, glory and humor that prevailed at the original encounter. The line-ups for the -evening will include as the preliminary contest a game between the senior gals known as the "Canover Queens" and the faculty women, as yet unnamed. On the male side, the senior men who have worked out as the "Woolie Wonders", will meet tl).e faculty gentlemen in the main feature of the program. · The seniors have their squads set to go and have been working out daily on new gag routines along with good orthodox basketball methods. From all indications, some of the laughs lined up will be enough to make the Harlem Globetrotters split their trunks with giggles . Both contests will be played under regulation rules and as contests with plenty at stake. The game's th e thing! But plenty of bellylaughs are always in keeping with such encounters. PIPES OF DUNBAR By THOMAS THOMAS This year has been one of Cue 'n' Curtain's most active~ Its pace is being continued with a series of three one-act plays, which were presented to a capacity crowd Wednesday and Thursday nights, and will be presented tonight for the last time. The plays have ·b een carefully selected. '.l;'hey are Noel ·Coward's ' 1Hands Across The Sea", a humorous dilemna; "Pipes of Dunbar", a historic drama by Wilfred Pettit; and a mystery, "Short of Murder", by Watkins Wright. M,any new members, who were brought in with our freshman class, are acting for the first time at Wilkes. This new talent enhances the performances. Mr. Groh, adviser of the dramatics club, has left the directing of these plays in the hands of the students with Peter Margo as director-in~charge. "Hands Across The Sea", under the direction of Ann Azat, is a humorous dilemma. Its setting is England, but the story concerns the mix-up that accurs when old friends from the Orient come to visit Lady Gilpin (Ann Azat). Peter Margo (Lord Gilpin) is co-starring with Ann . .Helen Br~wn, Dale Warmouth, Bob Evans, Bert. Stein, Addie Elvis, Chuck Gloman and Bill Crowder are the supporting players. Any one who has been to the Cabaret parties knows he can expect many a chuckle from Chuck Gloman's ad-libs . Your reporter has seen the produdion "Short of Murder", a few times and recommends it for -any second-semester blues. It is a comedy-drama with a surprise ending. Its humor lies in the small-town characters of Mayville. Aggie ·Jones (Pat Virtue) is very detective-like when Ezra Eaton (Lou Steck) disappears. Margaret Williams, a freshman, is -the director. Others in the cast are Lois Long, Margie• Luty, Judy Hopkinsf Sam Meline, Sheldon Schneider (the sheriff), Henry Merolli, Peter Wurm and Lou Steck. "Pipes of Dunbar" is a historical ~-·<ima which takes place in the tower of London where Mary Queen of Scots is held captive. The cast is small but efficient. Its members are Shirley Salsburg, Bob Ladd, Jack Frankosky, Bert Stein a,nd Edward Wallison (of Gramercy Ghost). Peter Margo has ·b een utilizing most of his talents on this play, and he expects it to be a big success. The various committees have worked hard. Helen Hawkins and her mother have perfected some extra-special costuming. The staging, under Bob Ladd, Bill Crowder and Bob Stackhouse is quite effective. Ann Azat and Bill Crowder are in charge of make-up. Bert .Stein, president of Cue 'n' Curtain and a player in two of the productions, told your reporter, "I am proud of the cooperation shown by the memlJers in producing these plays. I am sure tl).ey will be a success." , Two new members of Cuen' Curtain are appearing in these plays. Both are upper classmen, Chuck Gloman and Bob Evans.

SLICK, TIGHT, AND BEAUTIFUL '.l'he headlines read: "King's .T rims Wilkes". Underneath in smaller ty,pe it kindly read: "Monarchs Get Real Tussle." Trims, yes, I . guess that's the word for it. It was a trimming, a very nice trimming. Around Christmas time folks like to wrap up .p ackages. One of the big features of the job is the way you trim the package. When you have everything slick, tight, and beautiful you have a good trimming. That's like the deal ·we got at Vaughan's Corners last Friday nightvery slick, ·tight, and beautiful, a good trimming. Much of Friday night's trimming was applied by the refs, two guys 'b y the names of Leo Levy and Chet Kovaleski. These two characters were no doubt the stars of the evening. Their ability to toot a little whistle stole all the thunder from such guys as Batroney's, Benson's, Schuler's and Patton's ability to play basketball. Vaughan's Corners is a dingy little place, ably suited for ping pong or hop scotch, _but much too \ight for the wild game of basketball. When you have five men applying the fast brea'k and five other men trying like the very old deuce to stop it, you have traffic jams. Levy ·and Kovaleski were right in there calling everything, much to the disgust of everybody. But when the old ballgame got down to its closing minutes with both parties very entangled in a tight score, Levy and Kovalesk-i wised up and laid off the whistle. One guy walked over Davis and notp.ing was said. Benson whipped in with a beautiful drive, dumping in an underhander, but. very sweetly the ref took away his two points andi gave him one foul shot. Maybe somebody ought to have. told the howl-ing Wilkes fans that it's the little things that make a good trimming. And then there's the ballgame itself. How any sportswriter could watch a 75-72 game, a gam e bitterly fought because of a natural city rivalry, and then tack on the verb "trims" to describe the contest is beyond unenlightened me. 'T his character sat there and saw Al Gold' man at the foul line, seven se conds left to play in the glilme, the score 73-72 with King's ahead, and if .tension could have gotten up and kicked him in the face it would have. Al took a deep breath an'd then shot. The ball ·hung for a minute on the basket rim and then dipped off . .King's had things in the bag, no matter what happened in the rest of those seven seconds. Half the crowd hollared merrily, half moaned miserably. And then Joe Sports Reporter dipped his pen in somenasty blaok ink and wrote "King's Trim's Wilkes". Of course, for all we know maybe this fourth estater was one of' those modern news analysts. Maybe he could sense the situation, maybe his insight on the game revealed ·to him that King's was going towin no matter what, and then maybe he knew the refs. Maybe this guy wasn't prejudiced when he used that verb "trims". Maybe he did have that feeling of everything being slick, tight, and beautiful. In that case King's did trim Wilkes. The crowd cheeted and then gravy for Bart. He shouldn't have watched the Monarchs work the much trouble in hitting that golden ball back up court. Nobody in the mark of 400 points .for a season.

KING'S HOOPSTERS SCORE 75-72 VICTORY AT CLOSE OF WILKES-DOMINATED GAME By DOM VARSICO The Monarch's . of King's College came fro1l). behind in the closing minutes of the· important game with the Wilkes ,College basketball team and turned in a thrilling hard earned 75-72 victory last Friday night before an overflow crowd at the King's gym. It was the second victory for the. Red and Gold over the Colonels. Bob Schuler, the big center for King's, had the decision in his hands, when he came through with a grand evening total of 27 points. Len Batroney scored 24 points, being high man for the Colone}s. The Monarchs led at half time by six points 40-34, and held the tide until late in the last period when the losers staged a brilliant rally with less than five minutes to play. King's led 67-63 when Batroney scored from the floor and Macierowski converted a foul making it 68-65. Then the inspired Colonels led by consecutive baskets by Marshe! Karesky, Eddie Davis and Batroney, took a 72-68 lead forging aheao with two minutes of play remaining. Schuler hit for a field goal and a foul, then another field goal by Bernie Panzak put the Monarchs back ahead 73-72. After the lead had been taken, the King's men began to freeze the ball and in the process they waived four fotils. Walt Macierowski sunk an easy lay-up shot and this put the game on ice for King's, with seconds remaining. Bob Benson and John Milliman excelled for the Ralstonmen. The contest was a real thriller in which the lead changed hands eight times in the game and was tied five times. The Colonels play their last home game Saturday night, March 1 against Hartwick College at the Wilkes Gym.

The Wilkes College debating society defeated the Lafayette debaters last Tuesday night in a decidedly one-sided match. The debate took place before the Women of Wilkes at their Fe~ ruary open meeting at Chase Hall I Mrs. Farley, who presided over the business meeting preceding the program, introduced Dr. ' Kruger, who acted as chairman and moderator.

At Easton, Roxy Reynolds and James Neveras, who were debating the affirmative side of the question, also won their debate with the Lafayette negative . The judge of the debate at Wilkes was David E. Jones, debate coach at Kingston High School. Today Wilkes is entering a team in the King 's tournament, which started at nine o'clock in the morning. This tournament, which is open to the publc, will consist of four r ounds of debate, four affirmative and four negative, continuing through the day. Students are invited to attend if they have the time. Since these rounds are continuous, there will be something going on at whatever time anyone may walk in.

Chwa. lek, who has been named chairman of the local committee promoting the broadcast, added that they are bringing the "Town Meeting" to Wilkes-Barre because they believe that "it makes a distinct contribution to democracy through its presentaton of both sides of important contro versial issues." Tickets for the forum, which will give Wyoming Valley residents one of their rare opportunities to see and hear internationally - known authorities debate the crucial ques. tions of the day, will be on sale at th e college. The price is $1.00 per person. Chwalek believes that this meeting will be of particular interest to Wilkes students, the great majority of whom show a keen interest in contemporary problems of the type discussed on "Town Meeting". , BROTHERHOOD WEEK Members of the audience will be ~ponsored by The National Conference of Christians and Jew& , allowed to question speakers as EA( /~, part of the program. Chwalek explained that it is not possible to announce at this early date what the discussion topic or the names of the participants will be. According to George V. ,Denny, Jr., Town Meeting's moderatordirector, it is necessary to postpone selection of topics and speakers for the programs until the last possible moment because of the rapidity with which the world picture changes these days. What may be today's controversial question m~y be resolved by March 18. Denn'y promised, however, that the · question ·is sure,, to be timely and stimulating. He assured Chwalek that "the spea·k ers will be the best available authorities on the subject." That Denny was not exaggerating is brought out by the fact that, in the past, such notables as William Green, Senator Joseph McCarthy, Philip Murray, Ellis Arnall, and the late Harold Ickes, have appeared on "Town Meeting".

The Bobbsies are better known for their classical epic, ".Ode To a Comode". The females of the senior class will combat the faculty women in a preliminary game. The coeds go under the title of the "Canover Queens", and from watching them all. we can say is "they're so easy on the eyes!"

Official time-keeper will be Willie Moretti and scorekeeper wlll be Al Capone, both of whom have been released temporarily from the school for backward children for the evening. As of press time, the seniors were meeting in the lounge of Ward's HalL-<liscussing plans while the faculty met in the engineering room of Conyngham Hall, popularly referred to as Conyngham University by B.

The Dilapidaed Press news service has sent a correspondent to the area to cover the combat of the modern era. The reporter reports to the nation that a weapon is being used by both sides for the fray. It is not an atom bomb, not a guided missile,. but a sphere inflated to propensities which allow a bouncing motion. The weapon, only one of which is available, is known as a "basketball", and as yet has not been used as it will be used on March 15, the date of the entanglement. With special permission of the Wilkes College administration, the reporter was able to secure admission to the gymnasium to obtain first hand information on the senior preparation for the event. The senior men have been aptly christened the "Woolie Warriors", and have obtained uniforms of the finest quality for their forthcoming war. The battle armor wil consist of a new lightweight fabric of wool quality and a bright red color, a color which will undoubtedly be most deceptive to the opponents. Although there is great secrecy concerning secret weapons, your reporter was able to examine one of the uniforms and found a trap door at the sit-down portion of the suit. This trap door is held tightly shut by two buttons, but undoubedly, the contents therein will be most interesting to observe. Further investigation revealed the reputation of the senior "men?" who will enter the contest.

WILKES-BARRE. PA. Jane Salwoski, president of Theta Delta Rho, has announced a change in membership policy concerning an amendment to the sorority oonstitution. T.he amendment states, "All women will automatically be members of Theta Delta Rho Sorority for their first s.emester at Wilkes pollege. From the end of the first semester onward, only those women who expr,ess a desire for membership and responsibility by registering during the first full week of each s.emester shall be considered members." Prior to this, membership had been automatic, that is all women enr~Ued at Wilkes have been considered members. This policy led to lack of unLty for the sorority. It is hoped that -this amendment will remedy the situation, and make Th.et.a Delta Rho a more active organiza,tion. At the January 8 meeting, the foU.owi,ng regulations were passed: Only one unexcused absence from a regular meeting will be allowed; members must serve either as general chairman or committee chairman of an affair, or as a commiittee memo.er three times. It was decided that if the following obligations are not met, a member will be debarred from regist.ering in the sorority. , Wilkes To Form New Male·Chorus A new mo vem ent based on the principles of male choral work has begun at Wilkes with the hope of the members that male singing will be carried on as it is in most universities and colleges. Jake Kovalchek, president of the Junior Class, is chairman of the drive to gather all males interested in meeting once ·a week to sing popular and classical selections for the sheer enjoyment of choral work. ' For three years, Wilkes has ·b een represented By a choral club and a quartet known as the "Harmoneers". During the same three years, various attempts were made to organize a male singing society to bring the young men of th!:) campus together in harmony. If a male can carry a tune, he may join the organifation. The group meets each Tuesday at 12 in the main music room of Gies Hall. Any men of the campus interested in joining are to report to Gies at 1-2 on Tuesday or see Jake Kovalchek, Flip Jones or Moe Batterson for details. 3 . THE VARSITY · LIMP By PAUL B. BEERS HOOPSTERS TANGLE WITH KING'S TONIGHT Tonight over in Vaughan's Corners a bunch; of boys will ,b e running around in their scivvys, looking very mean indeed, and occasionally slamming each other around. King's. meets Wilkes again in basketball. Tonight the chips are down. The •Colonels can afford no horsing around. We must either paint red the town. Or with defeat sink far down. Poetry or not, we got taken for everything we wer worth in that first little encounter with the Monarchs. King's was red hot, whlle we were more or less mint-julep cool. The score, if your sordid memory holds out, was 83-53. The Monarchs were no more 30 points a better club over the Colonels than the Meat-Cutters are an everyday sureshqt to lick the New York Knicks. That night Rocco's boys were just desperadoes, zipping hither and thither like a bunch of Boston bandits, and tossing the old cookie through the hoop with remarkable ease. T?nght,. though, you'd be safe in rating English's angels an eight or nme point favorite, but 'tisn't all impossible if George's little devils act up and make that span a little tighter. Heck, we might even win, This present outfit deserves a win over King's. · For the past two years we've split with King's, even though George has had to field pretty sloppy clubs. Maybe the daily newspapers won't tell you, but we've handled ourselves fairly smoothly with the big boys up the street, Now we have the best basketball team we've had in quite some time. In places it's weak, very weak, but it's an aggressive, hustling, rootintootin' kind of team that deserves to carry on our noble, if somewhat overlooked, tradition of splitting the city basketball series with King's. So, tonight over in Vaughan's Corners the boys will be running · around in their scivvys. You know tho·se King's games-fightin', feudin', fussin', lousy basketball, but most interesting. Try and m,ake it-for a change. ROUGH ROBERT While everybody else, all except Phil Husband that is was stood' on his ear, little Bobby Rt!ynolds was acting like a very big guy indeed. Thos.e wrestling lthacans were mean, they took no toying· around. They laid qolonels flat here, and there, and over there, and around there. Colonels got a bouncing who do not get a bouncing very often, guys who are considered very topnotch groaners at that . . Lean Phil Husband somehow managed to survive the flood but that little squirt who started the show was the only blue and 'golder to apply the crusher the whole afternoon. It was Reynolds, Robert Reynolds, brother of the noted politician Joe Reynolds. This Robert Seynolds is a little guy with a liking for plaid sport. coats, the black and white keys of a piano, and that square of stupidity -the wrestling mat. Bob's record shows such: a famous draw in the Cortland bout, a decision victory in the Millersville tustle (when not a b~ddf of his 7ould w!n), a decision victory over Swartmore, a pin at Kmg s, two wm forfeits at Lafayette and Stroudsburg, and a pin now with Ithaca. His only defeat was a close 3-2 job in the Lock Haven tussle. So, you . can choose whom you like, but I think Rough Robert has· Wilkes' Rookie of the Year pretty well sewed up.

The idea of getting along with people is an old American custom. ' Nevertheless, one week out of the year we announce publicly that a man's creed, color or national origin makes no difference to us; he's our neighbor. That's Brotherhood Week. Businessmen, doctors, lawyers, students - people in all walks of life-fail to achieve perfect brotherhood. Each of us fails, too often, in our everyday social situations. But slowly and stum~lingly, as men always make progress toward a high goal, we mch toward brotherhood. Some people think it futile even to mention brotherhood when half the world is doing its best _to deny the me?nin-g of the . word. On the contrary, this IS the tune to start talkmg about broherhood, especially if we hope to serve as an effective healing agent for war-wounded Europe. Most people ·t hink of brotherhood in terms of religion: "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. All things, therefore, whatsoever ye would do that men should do unto you, even so do ye also unto them." Some say brotherhood is also associated with American democracy, good business, good sportsmanship and common sense. • But in addition to these views brotherhood is: Applied Psychology saying, "Do not make another person or another group the scapegoat for your own shortcomings and frustrations." · · Education saying, "Beyond the development of skills and the acquiring ?f knowledge ~e _mus~ learn the art of living together. Get nd of your pre1ud1ces m order to live peacefully with yourself and· your neighbors." Science saying, "Humanity is one; there is no such thing as a superior or inferior race." Dr. Arthur N. Kruger, who, during his five years as an English professor at Wilkes has become one of the most prominent figures on campus, received his Ph. D. degree at the age of 24. He was the youngest Ph. D. graduate in the history of Louisiana State University and one of the youngest in the country. His first teaching position was that of a "one-man department" at · a small junior college. Soo.n afterward,. he was teaching composition, literature, and public speaking at North -Carolina State College when, in June of 1942, he entered the Army Signal Corps. Here he lear ned cryptography, which, he claims, "later became valuable for deciphering some of my students' themes." During his three years of ac}ive overseas duty, he did liason work with 'British, Canadians and New Zealanders (with whom he witnessed the first shelling and bombing of the world-famous Abbey of Montecassino). When separated from the Army, Dr. Kruger was .offered his old po· sition at North Carolina State but declined.

After press time of the last Beacon, the staff received the following letter.) Dec. 19, 1951 Dear Sirs: .Being away from home, the news of being selected "Athlete ·of the Year" was not only the greatest surprise but also the gr.eatest honor ever given to . me. I am sorry that I will not be able to thank you all personally. Wilkes has some of the greatest athletes and sports writers in the world. Just to be a member on the teams was my greatest wish. It was a pleasure to be with you all the past two seasons and I know that when I return to civilian status, Wilkes will again have me competing for a ·b erth on the squads. I was wondering if some arrangement could be made for the mailing of the "Beacon" to men in the service. I look forward to receiving . the paper every week from the friends at the school. The paper gives me an excellent account of happenings at the school. At the present time we are unable to play any sports because of the lack of time and equipment. Rumors have it that our Division is leaving Korea for Japan. I hope that this is true because I may be able to get some of the needed experience in the various sports. God only knows when I will be able to return to the states. You will be .gone, Bob (!Sanders), but not forgotten. I feel sorry for you because looking at Beers would make anyone sick. Thank you for the great honor and I would like to wish you all a Merry ·Christmas and a .Happy New Year. Parker often infltruments of confusion and subversion because of an uncritical (unreasoning) attitude on the part of many citizens. "Clear thinking is not a mere academic consideration;. our very societ y depends upon how clearly citizens are able to think. Schools ;are the best places to cultivate this discipline, but are failing largely to do so. The task of education is complicated by a lack of financial support which l1Jads to a lack of competent teachers. EviFRANB'.OSXY dence of some of our false values is the fact that we spend more on whiskey, cigarettes and gambling in one yea r than we do in five years for educ tion." Such short-sightedness, he concluded, can have tragic consequences; for education, particularly college education, is the chief hope of. mankind. TUXEDO'S TO -RENT Special Price To Students 198 SO.

Mustering a good -bit of. my mental strength so tha-t I am not over-sentimental, I confess that a good many days will pass before forgetting the happy moments and many sincere friends which were mine as a result of my association with the Beacon. · However, most newspapermen attempt to analyze every ·situation with a cold, objective eye. In keeping with that tradition, I admit that the editor-in-chief's job isn't always a bed of roses. Publicity-hungry organizations constantly breathe down an editor's neck. Then, there's Joe Zilch, who objects - i,eing called Joseph. An over-spirited editorial will make on the average fifty life-long enemies. Sports fans cry for more sports; the intellegensia plead for less athletic coverage. No editorial would be complete without a reference to the Student Council, Administrative Council, and the dear, dear budget. (Incidently, Prexy Joe Reynolds says that a budget settlement is forthcoming. In Jurie, Joe?) At this time I sh9uld like to thank everyone (especially the Beacon staff) who contributed to the production of the Beacon during this semester, with special thanks to A_cting Dean Williams, who taught me what I know about journalism, to the Beacon Advisor, C. J. Foxlow, who has cooperated magnificently, to Romayne Gromelski, News Editor, and Chuck Gloman, · Features Editor. Romayne and Chuck both have worked hard when the going was tough. Yes, it is with mixed emotions that I write my final editorial for this paper. But editing the beacon was a wonderful experience which I wouldn't have missed for all the snow in Siberia. And, now, to my edi\orial career and my editorial, in true newspaper fashion, I write "Thirty". . . COLL~f3~ UAZI: By _CHUCK GLOMAN What happens to Wilkes students after graduation when they leave the hallowed ivy-covered halls of learning, plunging into a new kind of life? Some get married, some eventually become teachers, chemists, social workers, writers, psychologists, lab technicians, and some . . . well, I'm getting ahead of my story. Just last summer I met a number of our grads when I went to a seashore hotel for a change and rest-the bellboys got the change and the hotel got ,t he rest. I went to Atlantic City. The bellboy took me up to my roomon t_h e 89th floor. Brushing aside a fleecy cloud I ,p eered out the window, then turned and said, "How about getting me something a little nearer Atlantic . City, hu,h ? My :fountain pen is leaiking." "Sorry, sir," he mumbled apologetically. "It's all we have left. A group of people just got here from Pennsylvania-Wilkes College graduates, sir." ~uddenly the strains of the Wilkes Drinking Song drifted from the hall into my cloud~bound abode. "Here they come now!" the uni:formed figure gasped, as a shouting army of alumni stampeded over him into the room. "Well whattaya know!" I exclaimed wide-eyed with amazement at the sight of Deadfinger Piddlecrap, my old philosophy classmate, who was tying a piece of string on his left index finger as he galloped toward me with · outstretched ·hands. , "What's that piece of string for?" I shouted above the turmoil. "Well", he puffed, "-I. .I. .it's .. " "You must ,b e pooped from thatelevator ride up 89 floors." "Whattaya mean ride-! The thing went out of order so we had to walk-I mean climb up!" "Well, take it easy, Deadfinger. Relax." He plopped into a nearby chair, almost breaking the springs. "Deadfinger," I gasped, "I said relax not collapse! Now as 1 was saying, what's that .piece of string on your finger for?" "Oh", he explained, "the whole thing works by what psychologists call 'word association'. Ya see, the piece of string is tied in a knot. Forget-me~not is a flower. With flour · you make bread, with bread· you use butter, and with butter you make cheese. This is to remind me to ·buy some pickled onions." "Oh I see. Deadfinger, you haven't changed a bit. What do you do these day,s, anyway?" "Not very much. Just hunt and drink." "Hunt what?" "Drink." "Well, if you're a hunter you must be a sportsman. Right?" "Positively. I like all kinds of sports-baseball · • • tennis · · · parking • • • " "Now, just a minute. Seriously now, are you really sports-minded ?" "Oh, definitely. I love basketball, baseball, football and hockey. In fact, I love ALL outdoor sports. I can $it at my TV set and watch them for hours." "All kidding aside, Deadfinger. Isn't there anything athletic about you?" "Sure. I got athlete's foot." "Oh no! How can you say so many assinine things in one day!" "I g,et up early. Not only that, but I suppose. it could be attributed to my exceptionally rigorous childhood. I came from a very rough town-in fact, the place was so tough anybody who had teeth was considered a sissy. And the grade scho9l I attended was so hard even the teachers played hookey. "Of course, the memory that lingers foremost in my mind is the way my parents would inform me it was time to go to bed. They used to throw me up in the air over and over until I fell asleep." "How did that put you to sleep?" "We had a very low ceiling." "Oh." ' \Course, times have changed since you and I used to sleep next to each other in philosophy , class. I'm married now. For the second time." "What! Married twice already?" "Yeh. My first wife met an unfortunate death last year. Death was due to a broken heart." "Due to a broken heart?" "Yes, if she hadn't broken my heart. I never would have strangled her:'' · "T!!ll me, Deadfinger, how's life with Wifie Number Two?" "Well, things have changed in the past few months. Before marriage I'd talk and she'd .listen, then she'd talk and I'd listen. Now we both talk and the neighbors listen. Look! There's my wife over there, ta1king to those women. Chuck, did you ever in your life see anyone like her?" •"Yeh, once-but Iliad to pay admissfon." · Just listening to Deadfinger talk so enthusiastically about his married life reminded me of my girl. You know, some couples have trouble getting along, ,b ut not us. No arguments, no misunderstandings, no insults, no harsh words. In fact we haven't spoken to each other in six months. There's only one thing I dislHce about my girl - she's too .fussy ab®t manners and etiquette. She makes me remove my cigar every time I kiss her. What a -b ackground! At the age of 18 she broke into the moviesan usher left the door open. Yes, she's truly a remarkable person. Her family tree is intensely interesting, too. It seems she descended from a long line her mother listened to. Her sister, for instance, is what one might call "fickle". I'm not saying she actually gives the males the go-ahead signal but when they grab a kiss she screams at the bottom of her voice. She recently wrote a unique, rather sensational novel about the private life of a ·b urlesque queen,enti:teled "Life With Feather" or ".She Thinks Iller Boyfriend Is a Comedian Because Every Time He Goes Out With Her He Tries To Get Funny." And her eldest brother, Horace, is having mental trouble. He's wandering in his mind-but that's okay, he can't go far. You see, he used to be a census taker and went crazy trying to take inventory on a rabbit farm. Her other brother, Chauncey, is just approaching adolescence-you know, that awkward "in-'between" age-too tall for the keyhole and too short for the transom. I'll never forget the night we met. It was at a dance at the gym. She was wearing a daring new ·fashion-a frontless, sideless, backless, strapless gown. It was called "Good morning, Judge". There was something about her that attracted me. She had that far-away look; in fact, the farther away I got the better she looked. And there was something about me that attracted her-but I spent it all now. She was standing alone, looking rather depressed, so I waltzed µp to her and whispered, "Why so sad?" "Well," she s•i ghed, "i'm worried." "About what?'' "If I break my date with Bill and Roger finds out I've gone out with Tom, then Harry won't ask me to the_Cabar~t · Party, and Jack won't have a chance to cut in, so I'll end up marrying Harold." "That IS a problem. Why don't you have a drink with me and forget your troubles?" "I don't drink." "Then how about a cigarette?" "I don't smoke." ''Do you by any chance chew tobacco ?" "No." "Like to dance?" "Nope." "Neck?" "No." "Then what in the world do you do when you want to have some fun?" "I throw bags of water out of second floor windows." "Well, look. I'm stag tonight, top: so how about whispering those three little words that'll make me walk on air." "Go hang yourself." "Those aren't the ones I had in mind. After all, we could have a lot of fun going to these campus affairs · together." "Well, that all depends. I -want a boyfriend that shines in company, is musical, dramatic, can tell jokes, dance and sing." "You don't want a boyfriend. You want a television set." "Well, I have to go home now. You see, I do have a date tonight ... . with . that new fellow in our class. I asked him to come to dinner at our house tonight. He has a jo·b so I told him not to bother dressing hut to come in his ,b usiness suit." "That's fine! He\s a swimming instructor at the YMCA!" TUXEDO'S TO BENT Special Pdc:e To Studnta 198 SO.

It was a mock television .p roduction depicting the great medical achievements of 1951. 1Doctor Chapko, head of Wilkes Gulch Hospital, del~cately dissected Paul Beers with the aid of Dr. Poopnekevitz (Lou Steck). l,\fargaret Luty, Jean Dearden and Helen Scherff portrayed three surgical nurses. The narrator was Bob Evans. Dave Whitney and Al Wallace, members of the assembly committee, wrote the script and acted as directors. No one knew exactly what was the matter with the -p atient ·b ut Dr. ·Chapko had a strong premonition that it was )??-!;:xv)(?, and he hit the nail right on the head. They got to the source of trouble with a brace and bit, a hammer and chisel, a two-man saw and other fragile instruments. Dr. Chapko was amazed when he found the patient trying to digest World Literature. 'rhere was some speculation as to whether the patient had a tape worm but they found it to be only a book worm (distinguishable by a book attached to it). Other supposed causes of the ailment were an old shirt, a plunger, soccer shoes, and soap flakes but the whole dilemna was cleared up when Dr. Chapko declared it a clear case of dandruff.

The Junior Colonels are also seeing steady action with the various amateur inrtra-mura,J teams around campus. W-h en you take a gander at the results of -s ome of these games, it sets you to wondering about the intra - mural teams. Of the five games playe<I to date, the intra-mural basketballers have racked up two victories, which .is good-going when consideration is given to the lack of practice n the part of the intramural teams. The Pre-Meds handed the first defeat to the Junior Colonels in recording a 33-20 upset before a stunned crowd at the Gym. Then after winning a few games, the Junior Varsity once more took it on the chin. T.h e Courtpacers engineered a basketball show that sent the Junior Colonels to the lockerroom -w ith a 37-33 defeat hanging on their heads. The mterest in intra-mural baskestb-all has reached a fever-pith this year with no less than twelve teams competing for the title. These teams are divide<! equally inrto two leagues, the ,Blue and the Gold, with the respective champion~ of each •loop meeting for the fight to the death and for the glory of the intra-mural sport. It'.s good to see that there is a little school spirit around Wilkes. It would be even better if the student body would drop -a-r ound the Gym to see these teams in action. Almost every ·b ulletin board around campus .has a sche<lule posted and the admission is absolutely free. • ***** WILKES COLLEGE BEACON .are THE team to watch.

The two games played on Tuesday night were real close affairs. In the ffrst game the IRC nosed out the Vandals 22-20 by virtue of a field goal by Caffu-ey in a ,sudden death overtime period. The game was ti-ed ~0-20 when time ran out. The teams then took the court for the overtime period to be decided by the fir,s t field goal. It lasted for 7 minutes and 29 seconds before Caffrey took a p~ss from Geor,g e Lewis, drove in fast and dumpe<I a J.ay-up for the win. Credit must be given to the Vandals who put up a stiff fight although they playe<I with only four men throughout the game. The second game of the doubleheader saw the Bar Rags ride to victory on ,Gene Snee's sparkling play. With his 20 •p oints and allarou,nd floor work Snee paced the Bar Rags to a 46-42 victory over the :Pre~eds. 'The Bar Rag,~ were just two or three .points -better than the JIRC .alil through the game. At the half the score was 23-20 while at the three-quarter mal'lk the :me had a 33-31 deficit to make up.

Many people have asked as <to whether any results ·were obtained from my letter to •;F;r:iedlander d,a ted ~cember -9, 1951. T.he sports .s taff of the BEACON is glad to say that the desired results were obtained on December 15, 1951 when Friedlander wrote in his column, "Our thanks to the many loyal sons of Wilkes College who have written in to point out that not only has it been in e~istence since 1947 (prior to that •i t was known as Bucknell University Junior College) but during that ·time it has had -a football team go through an undefeated season, it has had a football team t hat was a scoring leader among. all ea.s t,e rn colleges Colonel Cagers Down Moravian The Wilkes Colonels mark their third straight victory against the Moravian Greyhounds from Bethlehem by the score of 59-52. The victory was an impressive one for the Colonels, for they were trailing throughout the first half. uBt the Colonels started creeping up on the Greyhounds at the start of the second half, and finally surged ahead to victory. The Colonels were paced by the brilliant shooting of Len Bartroney who tallied 23 points. His sharp shoooting from all over the court helped keep his teammates driving. Although Batroney led on the offense, Big Joe Sikora was just as much responsible for the victory by his fine work under the boards. The Colonels aided the cause by making 17 of 25 charity shots, while the Greyhounds made only 10 of 21. Mars.hall Karesky came alive in the latter part of the first half and began dropping in his one-handed sets from all over the court for a total of 15 points. Harry Davenport came through with a £.ew beautiful hook shots for 9 markers. Jim Atherton played his usual good floor game. Hank Weider was the top man for the Greyhounds with 15 points.

BEERS THE VALLEY OF TEREBINTH All the excitement that has been oozing up the past week In small Wilkes College is at least equal lo the joy there was In the Valley of Tereblnth the day that Little David kayoed Goliath ln the first round. They tell me that that day the Valley of Tereblnth went completely off Its rocker. Little David was named "Athlete of the Year" and he was all set to open up a restaurant for his hosts of fans when he learned that he was In line for the lob of ldng. Historians wlll tell you that there ls no loy anywhere lo equal the joy of the Valley of Terebinth. except maybe all the loy in Coogan's Bluff the day the Giants stole a pennant from the Bums. And now small Wilkes College has gone wild. Nobody has put the slug on anybody else, nor has any penants been stolen, but a very much underrated hoop team has pulled the remarkable feat of winning three games In a row. Winning three games in a row gets even more remarkable for the Colonels when you consider that many parties have always believed it remarkable ii the Colonels won one in a row. So there is much joy In small Wilkes College. A YARD DOWN A BEAR'S THROAT Ralston's club was never given very much of a nod anywhere, because of the fact ii lacked height, speed, experience, depth, and in many cases talenL In fact, when the season began, prospcts of a •winning year were as dark as . a yard down a bear's throat. But when everybody starts producing IO;e they have the past three games, even a very much undenated ballclub like the· Colonies is going to move. And that's just what has happened. Len Bartroney· ls dumping them through the nets at a 20.1 points per game rate, which Is certainly record-bound sb:ootlng at Wllkes College. Len's speed and his pawingcat-like ballplaying is definitely first-class. We have always liked a hustlerlike Bart-they're so scarce around here. Sleepy Jim Atherton ls another guy lo keep your eyes on. Sleepy Jim ls the deadest shot on the club and a better· floorman than Reggie Bun himself. Joe Sikora ,has at last ahown hl• real abillty. Though Joe Is not worth a frog's hair for hls shootlng talent. Joe ls worth. the whole Valley of Tereblnth and Coogan's Bluff thrown In for good 6 and just a week ago (Dec. 8) its basketball team scored 24 out of ,24 free throws to beat Stroudsburg Teachers, 68- 64. Quite a record for a five-year-old college even if 1Bi11 Mlkvy did score 73 points ag,a inst it." Our hats are off to •Sid Friedlander for making all of us feel -better inside. -FROM THE SIDELINES By BOB SANDERS measure for his rebound talent. Joe is a very thrifty guy too. Not only does. Joe hate to see rebounds go to waste but also little blt■ of penny gum. Blg Cat John Milliman ls valuable to Coach Ralston for his hall-breed mixture of rebounds, floor work. and layu-ps. Back on the farm the Blg Cat never got a chance lo shoot baskets. so John can be very unstable in toaslng them. but the other pointers John· has picked up on the farm have made him a very good man. · Probably the biggest surprise of the season has been the excellent work of Harry Davenport. Most married men aren"t worth a can of com In the college . athletic circles, but young Harry is both a comfort lo the mrs., Coach Ralston, and the fans. Harry's. class comes under the backboards; where he Is a real scrapper. He has a nice hookshot also. An up-and-coming hoopster ls Jim .M oss.a ballplayer· with much zest. With more experience under his belt, Jim should be In line to start whipping them in for Ralston. And then there is Marsh Koreslcy. Marsh ls one heck of a perplexing problem. One night he'll look like a million <;iollars, like the MoravlCIJl game. and another night he'll lust be a lot of Inflation. With hls eye Marsh shoud have no trouble getting 15 points a night for the Colonels As of late. he's been having his troubles. CABIN'D, CRIBB'D, CONFINED While Wilkes College has gone wild over its sparkling basketball team, TAILS FROM THE WOODS: it has also gone Into a closet to figure out just what has happened to Rapid It was bear season and Bomber sea on, and the Bomber was Bill Johns, that incomparable master of wit and a clown who has been a sports figure at Wilkes. for years. Bom•b er was out for a bruin and he finally got one .. . although it wasn't exactly an orthodox matter. It seems that Bomber was moving his size 14 shoes through the soft weeds of wilderness when he met a bear which seemed to take an affection for him. Not wanting to shake hands with .the beas't 's teeth, our hero proceeded to move his posteror around a tree. Seeing that he had no time for a shot, he shoved his arm down the bear's throat and grabbed it by the tail and with a II!ighty tug, he turned the bruin inside out-making it run the other way-(at least that's what Bomber claims!)· O~R CAGEY CAGERS: • What got into them? Since the last issue of the BEACON, our basketball squad has been amazing all fans. They started out by making 24 out of 24 on foul shots, establishing a new collegiate record on foul line trys, and then Len Bartroney took off and piled up counter after counter to become recognized as a sharp-shooter of the court. Along with all of this, Bobby Benson, Jim Atherton, Harry Davenport and Joe Sikora have also been hitting the headlines with their cage feats. All in all, it looks as ?f we've really come up with something worth looking at. So how about all of the so-called fans turning out for a few contests in the future. There are some great teams coming in soon-and also, we pick the Colonels to tamp the King's Monarchs· next time out by 7 points. Never predicted before, but now have that ole feeling. GRUNT AND GROAN: First of all, it's hats off to the Wilkesmen who ~ntered the Middle Atlantic Tournament at the gymnasium over the holidays. Although most of our entries were stopp_ed early, Bob Javer rolled right on to ta•k e a few honors before finally ·being decisioned near the middle of the event. ' Second, Millersville STC is no easy cookie to chew on. That school is the Notre Dame of wrestling and has many local fellows to prove it. Wilkes lost every meet except the opene~ That opner has little Bobby Reynolds as the lightweight of the squad and he proved his mettle by thoroughly trouncing his opponent in a contest that seems to have been a fast moving match. Reynolds is only a freshman and has three more years of win after win to pile up .

Third, the King's College grapplers come with Wilkes in a grapSPECIAL P~~ ON TUX pling match tomorrow night at King's Kingston gymnasium.

Bobby ls stlll,sr great flborman and a solid defensive ballplayer, biit what · used to go in doesn't go In for him anymore. It is all one big ·slump. Nobody can tell you how you can beat a slump, as even guys like Ty Cobb and Ben Hogan don't know. It is most frustrating. When Bob is able to right himself, the ballclub should get even hotter. That Is the day when folks will stop thinking about all the joy they had in the Valley of Tereblnth. CHARLIE THOMAS AND LA ROCK Like many other parties, I do not know very much about the manly art of wrestling, except for the fact that it produces cauliflower ears and ls · very hard on the back ii you happen to be only a fish. But last week I was privileged to watch the greatest wrestler .I and many other parties have ever seen. a guy by the name of LaRock from Ithaca. This nm LaRock cleaned up the YMCA tournament with no trouble at all by administering four lovely pins. I am a great lover of class in athletics. Class ls the thing that makes a guy the very best. It is not a thing you can put your linger on. but rather a summary of everything terrific. LaRock had class. He'd get out on the mat and calmly mµneuver about. You didn't see a muscle until he sp1'1ng a hold, and then the muscles cmme flying from all over. He looked slow and rather unintelligent in mat warfare until he went into action, and then he worked .so last and so intelligently that his patient didn't know what was coming off.

Donnelly describes himself as "a home-grown product," a native Wilkes-Barrean who has been associated with Wilkes College in one way or another since he first walked through the ·doors of the old Bucknell Junior College building on West Northampton Street, as a freshman. He completed the two years of work that were offered by the college, then transferred to Bucknell University at Lewis·b urg, where h.e received his A.B. and A jM. degrees. After a year's experience in high .school teaching, he returned to what is now Wilkes College as a member of the English Department. By the end of ·o ne semt!ster Uncle Sam exercised hi.s priority -over Wilkes, and the English professor ·b ecame an Ordnance Department private. ''Someone told · me never to Friday, January 11 ,19~2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON volunteer for anything in the Army," offered .Mr. Donnelly. Following that advice, he explained, resulted in his seeing "the higher brass" at A!berdeen Proving Ground during his first weeks there at a basic trainee. "They were curious as to why I didn't volunteer for NOO school. After a pleasant chat (on their part) I applied for admission, a 'G.I. volunteer.' " There followed a two-year tour of duty at A!berdeen, where he received ~ offi~r•,s oomm!issiion from .Ordnance OCS. As an Ordnance man who "fired every small arms weapon then -in use, qualified to drive all vehicles including tanks (except motorcycles, they're too dangerous)," his prin9ipal duty was teaching and. -s upervising in various special training units. The uni~s, he explained, has various functions from teaching illiter- ates and non-English .s peaking soldiers to read and write English in order to absorb the facts of basic training, to rehabilitating men physically or mentally affected by the war. 'T he last two years of .Mr. Donnelly's Army service which were spent as an Information and Education officer in the Pacific, where he conducted and inspected Army Information Hours and the off. duty educational program. "It sounds like a glorified Cook's tour to say that one has flown back and forth across t}l,e Pacific, touching most of the -spots where the war 'raged, like Pearl Harbor, Tarawa, 'New Guinea, the Philippines, Guam, and so forth, but actually, aside from the exhilaration of flying-the fact of -i t and the knowledge that one · was relatively free to move whereas most troops were stationed for long periods in a particular plac.e aside from this, my job was routine and concerned itself mostly with backwash of the war." In February of 1946 he was back at Wilkes and the "battle of the books.'' In September of 1'948 he had a year'.s leave of absence to study at the University of Pennsylvania, where he is working toward a Ph. D. in modern British literature.

Fond of the peoples and traditions that shaped this region's way of !ifo, Mr. Carmer has let its influences play a big part in his own life. !Mr. Carmer has assured the puplic that his forthcoming volume on the Susquehanna will not offer a complete history of the river -from Ots-ego Lake to the Chesa. peake.

Wilkes Colonels Are Ready For King's After Great Victory Over Stroudsburg By PAUL B, BEERS Fred Gendral, of the Department of Labor, Wag-e -Hours Division, addressed a group of Wi.Jkes College political science and economics students on the Federal Wage-Hours Law. The group met in Pickering Hall, Room 203, on Tuesd-ay morning at 11 o'clock. Gendr-a-1 opened his ·talk by expressing his eagerness to address people on the Wage-Hours Law since so many people are misinformed •a bout its various aspects. He made .it clear in the beginning that the Department of Labor is not on the side of labor or management, although it has helped labor considerably in recent years. However, Gendral pointed out that the time the Department of Labor began to function in its fullest sense, labor was in an under-dog stage with workers in Wyoming Valley working for as little as ten cents per hour. Even in our own times of inflation, this hourly wage -e quals approximately 18 cents an hour. · Since so many students hold part time jobs and are. interested in knowing if the Wage-Hours •L aws affect them as individuals Gendral directed his talk toward the exemptions provided by the law. One of the most important of the exempted groups, he stated, is that which includes employees of retail and service -e stablishnU!nts. Thus he explained why so many local department stores are able to pay less than the minimum seventy-five cents per hour and a,llow employees to work m,ore than forty hours per week with no -overtime pay. Although he had covered aH the major points in the law, students crowded around him after he had closed to ask specific gue'i5tions. Rocco English, his aides, and his boys will mov1;1 in on Colonel country tomorrQw night when King's squares 0ff o:gainst Wilkes in basketball. There will be little tenderness and a lot of excitement down in Mr. Partridge's Gymnasium Saturday night, as the Colonel and the Monorch have never been exactly The '!'\beta Delta Rho sorority . sociable and are very apt to fight like cats and dogs to win a will µold their annual a-11-college buffet supper Monday, December ballgame. That's what makes it so interesting. 17, in the college cafeteria at 6 THETA-DELTA RHO · TO HOLD SUP.PER The whole game shapes up to be very pleasant affair. George . . Rals~on is a b~sy _ma~ a nd thmgs are hkely to shp his mmd, but that cozy 27-7 drubbing that King's handed him in football last Novem·b er remains deeply entrenched in his skull. A win here tomorrow night would make George smile again. And then there 's Rocco English. Ro__cco has a little skeleton in his closet, too. Last -year Wilkes got somewhat happy and beat his hoopsters 64-62 in a contest that was witnessed by ' many parties. This has always bothered Rocco. A win tomorrow night -would make the old pro feel better. The two squads shape up pretty fairly. -King's, without last year's top man, Bob McGrane, has looked even better than expected. They dumped Arnold very smoothly last week. The club is fast and fairly accurate shots. One guy who has a been causing a lot of folks trouble is John Mackin, King•~ 6-3 forward. Two years ago Mackm pulled one for the books by leaving Wilkes and going to King's. The boys have been out to stop Mackin ever since. That, too, is interesting. Ralston's club is riding high. Last Saturday before a nice crowd it went haywire and beat a fast E. .Strouds·b urg team, 68-64. There were actually spots in the game where the Colonels looked big-time. Some more dead-eye shooting by Len Batroney and Jimmy Atherton and lots of last .Saturday night's te~mwork, and George Ralston's outfit .w ill -be a very rough and tough cr!lw to . submerge.

CHWALEK DISCUSSES JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN EDUCATION·FJELD A-t an informal social meeting of the Educationa] · 'Society on Thursday, Mr. Chwalek, director of the _P lacement Center, gave an informative talk concerning job oppol"tunities in the education field. He pointed out that chances in the elementary gr-ades are .unlimited, and those in secondary education are numerous except in this area of Pennsylvania. Th.ere are many possibilities in states· adjacent to ·P ennsylvania, especially Maryland, New York and New Jersey. Mr. Chwalek hopes to have representatives of schools in Maryland at Wilkes before the February graduation. One of the most interesting and practical parts of the talk ·concerned the do's and don'ts of technique in applying for teaching positions in which Mr. Chwalek emphasized the fact that col_lege graduates are no longer supposed to be immature and must have -the poise of a well-adjusted adult when trying for a job. He is going to give a list of these hints to students of ed_u cation before graduation. The next business meeting of the Educational Society will be on Tuesday, December 18, at 11:00 in Pickering 203. On Thursday, J-anuary 10 at 2 :115, there will be another social meeting of the club in Butler Annex. A film about student teaching will be shown. Ev-eryone is invited. J-ohn Strojny and George Elias, in charge of the decorations, have worked long and hard transforming the gym into a dreamlike Holiday Ballroom, and last night the lettermen, armed with crepe paper, string, and many other things too secret to mention, invaded the gym and did such a good j-0b of decorating that it would make Santa Claus envious. Dance chairman Al Molash an~ounced that favors for this year .are very special and every girl w.ho attends the dance will receive one. He said dancing will be held from 9 to 12 but if the dancers wish to continue, then Al Anderson and his orchestra will continue to play until 1 o'clock. Ed Gritsko, ticket chairman, said tickets have gone exceptionally well -and expects a large •t urnout tonight. Dan Pinkowski, refreshment chairman, said plenty of refreshments will be on hand. .P resident George Mc-Mahon and his crew of .h ard working lettermen are looking forward to an enjoyable evening at the only formal affair th-is yeaF, the Letterman's Christmas Formal.

The madrig-a l may concern the daily lives of people or ny,mphs, woodland scenes and the like. It is similar to the carol, al-thoug,h unlike the carol it does not deal with the Naivity alone.

Mr. Partridge is very appreciative of this entirely unexpected participa. tion in the drive! The Red Cross workers were extremely impressed with the fine spirit of the Wilkes students·and expressed ·their thanks in· a very sitfcere letter to Mr. · Partridge. It is interesting to note that about one-third of the donors were freshmen. We hope that the freshmen will retain this enthusiasm and transmit some of •it to the rest of the school. Last year in ,May, Wilkes held a similar blood drive, in which thirty students ·participated. These students were not able to donate at this time but will be counted as Wilkes donors.

As a person, P.ark',s :modesty was une:ire.elled; as an athlete, he constantly fought hard on the soccer field to the point of being submitted for All-American honors.

Hi-s record at the close of the season last year stood at six ~ins and two losses-but the Zipp.er bea,t the King's coach who outweighed him by 20 pounds in an exMbition. On top of it all, Zip was a stic'kler fo.n condi-tion1ng-and showed it when .he worked on his man in the meets. Third, Al Nicholas, Al was tarred and f.eathered with injuries this year but s,till opened up on the football field. In my opinion, Al's the best backfield man Wilkes has ever seen, and proba,bly ,ever will see for a long time to come. The best tribu·te to Nicholas comes from a s,tudent at an opposing school--'":As long as Nicholas is at Wilk,es, we'll never bea•t· them in football!" You've seen -him play, I've said enough. •George McMahon places fourth. Why they call him "Mouse" · I'll never know-the guy's a monster in size! Anyway, the "Mouse" cocaptained footbal,l but was knocked out after the first game with an injury. His real qualification for ,h onorable mention comes from wrestling last year. Georg,e lost only to La Rock, the Rock from Ithaca. La Rock -has nev,er been defeated, yet MoM,ahon did give him a run for' -h is money. "When M-oMahon wa1ked out to the mat, the scorer could ·have just chalked up his name as a winner and left the gym for a smolve whi-1,e MQMahon defeM:ed his opponent. Fifth, Len Batroney. Wilk,es Colleg-e has a foul-shot artist in bas kebball with this lad. He's a regular average player in bas,ketball but does help th.e cagers with his aggressiveness. In baseball, Len can't be beaten. His hitting is consistent, his fielding a,s a second baseman is unsurpassed by an,y playe"r . .Speed, power, and consis.tency keep him as a Tegular in both sports. 1Sixth, Eddie Davis. ''IB-a,be" isn't what you would call a star in any particular sport ,i f you look at his record. But, when it comes to thr,ee sports, none of rthe three could do very well without him. In football,· he has an accurate passing arm plus an ability to drive through opponent's lines when carrying tli.e ball. In basketball, "Ba,be's" big bat and fortification of third base mean trouble for the enemy. A good man, on_ly a sophomre, and a fellw that shows· plenty -0f potential for the future. Flip Jones ranks next in one sport participation. Flip had his name submitted t his year for All-Amer-ican in soccer. He has been the leading man on the field each yea·r (2) that he's played. Philip is the lad who makes the soccer team want to win, becaus,e they ha-ye to play their guts out to keep up with him. Bob Benson, the captain of this year's edition of the cag,ers seems to be in line for recognition. Last season, he broke the individual lifetime scoring r,ecord at Wilkes and every point this year will add on_ to- his si,z eable pile of markers to date. Bob never played ball at his :high school---'but at Wilkes he immediately' started for the Oolonel f-ive . Quiet, modest, and a hard worker. George E\ias. Elias only plays football and works as a blocking back. He's known for plugging holes in the dike on the Jin,e aµd seems to specialize in pass interceptions and blue-streak running. This is his -third year at Wilkes-and each y,ear his defensive work in rthe backfield has .b een commented upon as ·b eing a necess,ity to the Wilkes grid machine. La9t, but far from !,east, comes Phil Husband. -I:'hil wrestles an<;t I do mean wrestles. At the referee's signal, Husband's opponent has to start looking for Phil because he runs circles around the guy and driv,es him nuts. In my opinion, Husband is the greatest improved wres,tler -0n uhe squad. He wor,ks hard, conditions, and usu-a lly walks away with a pin or heavy decision stashed away under his belt. He's another fellow tha•t you hear very Jittl,e of until mat time rolls around. Watch him this year-you'U see why we chos.e him! FINIS! That's about it for the why's and wherefore's, so you can smile, :frown, or pound B,eers and me blue, but we think the choices cover everything. . 0 'Athlete of the Year' WILKES COLLEGE WRESTLING SCHEDULE-1951-1952 .
