Every sport was considered. All the highclass Colonel athletes were given a going-over. Personalities were, in the main, eliminated. Bally-boo and press clippings w~e thrown to the winds. The staff sought the man who advanced sports the m ost at Wilkes during the past year. it so.ught "the guy you'd like to have on your team." H looked for a ballplayer, a hu stler, a team -man and what most folks like to call "a g ood s·p ort." .Somehow I_>arker P.atrilak stood out a little better than the rest, and the ten honorable mentions stood out a little better than the others. It was as difficult a task as a sports staff can tackle. In 11950 ,Parker Petrilak was a poor, a very poor, second string ballplayer with George Ralston's ba sketball five. In 1951 Pai·ker was •t he g uy everybody watched. His 333 points for the season lead the team. He was a wildman under the basket, and the Colon.els can thank their lucky stars that Parker was out-jumping the g_pons or would have never gotten a rebound. In fact, the Colonels can thank their lucky s-tars that Parker was around. He was the man that made the organization tick when it did tick, and when it didn't tick Parker ticked twice as hard. Under pressure Parker shined. His 14 points in that glorious •64-62 victory over King's showed the class that Parker had, especially when y-0u consider the way. he bottled up King's star, •McGran.e. Due to poor support, Parker didn't get mucl-\ recognition as a basketball player. He suffered same fate in soccer ,the year before, when he showe·d how to play goal like only the chosen few can play it. But, rah-rah or not, ,Parker Petrilak is our man for A,t hlete of the Year.

ROSES Next, we toss _a bouquet of roses to the Novice Deba1ing Team which captured five victories in eight bouts at the Temple University Novice Debating Tournament. The debaters sacrificed much of their Thanksglving Holiday to be prepared for · last Saturday's Tournament. VIOLETS Yes, a bunch of violets to the Beacon. We are giving ourselves a few posies for contributing to the college a Loving Cup, a cup which will have inscribed upon it annually the name of the winner of the Beacon Sports Staff selection of the Athlete of the Year. DANDELIONS Fourth, we offer the Administrative and Student Councils a dandelion corsage for its slighrtng of the budget problem. In less than eight weeks the semester will come to an end. But do we have an approved budget? No! · POISON IVY The winner of the poison ivy award must remain anonymous. However, the winner knows who he is. It's due time that organizations stop pointing a finger of guilt toward the Beacon everytime -that organization fails to get favorable publici-ty. A-t the beginning of the school year the Beacon asked every club to appoint a represen~ative to the Caµipus paper. Those organizations that answered the Beacon's request are getting· sa•tisfactory coverage; those who haven't complied are "moaning the 'blues".

At priisent, Parker is on the front lin,e in Korea. He's one of those guy;s you read about in ed~torials. Parker, aoJong with Jake Bator and Tom Morg:an, was oalled back to the Army in May. Bator, a former hoopster for George Ralston's basketball team, is also in Korea. So, there has been no Assembly planned. Instead, the Athlete of the Y.ear trophy will be placed in the Gymnasium with Parker Petriilak's name inscribed on it. Y.ou may see it there.

FOWLER, DICK AND WALKER �Friday, December 7, 1951 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 3 I 1 FROM THE SIDELINES By BOB SANDERS THE WHY'S AND WHERF;FORE'S.This week, you can read Beers and Sanders and find out just how and why the athlete of the year and the honorable mention w,ere chosen·. The details will be brief but will still tell the maj.or reasons. Keep one thing in mind-these choices are all-round-not j~st one man in one spor~any men could have been ,elected, but the BEA.CON choices are, in our opinions, the most logica,l. Athlete of.the Year - PARKER PATRILAK - last y,ear outs-?,nd-ing in soccer and ba-sketbaU; this year in Korea. Al-though P.ark isnt here right now, I believe that he 'display,ed the greaitest a,thletic prowess, team spirit, improvement, and consistent leadership in spol'ts both on and off the court. 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. Park's big reason for being chosen as the winner was the way he sparked the Wilkes basketbaH club-not only in high scoring, but als-o 1n rebounds, driv,e, the ability to stay in top-notch condition year round, and the general high opinion that opponents and spectatd'rs ha,d of the lad.

We bow low for the ball. Last season he turn,ed in a After every soccer game you'd next ten gentlemen f merit. First place on honorable mention goes to Al Molosh, co-captain of the football el,even and stellar second baseman of the baseball te/;l,m. Mighty M·o was a mainstay on offense and defense on the gridiron and even worked in the backfield for one game as tailback, although he had never played the :b ackfield s-lot previously. Af came to Wilk,es without any football experience, yet he proved to be one of the most colorful men on the field. In baseball, his hitting, fielding, and general sportsmanship were topped by none. Molosh is in his last year at Wilkes_!_.he's done a da:m g-0od job. ,Second, Zip Cromack, a gradu,a,te of last June, Zip played a little football as a guard, but his r,eal home was on the wrestling mat. The stocky young 'man led the Wilkes matmen as captain and weighed in at 1415 libs. 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 .

In a letter to the BEACON, Dennis Hartman, secretary of the National Poetry Association said, "We take pleasure in announcing that the following poems, written by students of your college, have been accepted for publicati'on in the Annual Anthology of College Poetry: "Propinquity", by Wendell Clark; "Red Rooster's Destiny", by Dale Warmouth; and· "·Can't Sit Still", by Constance Smith." The Anthology is a c~mpilation' of the finest poetry written by the College men and women of America, representing every section of the country. Dale Warmouth had his poem, "Ringneck Pheasant", published in last year's Anthology and was further honored by having it chosen as one of the selections to be included in a new edition covering the best poems from the Anthologi es of the past seventeen years. He is a member of the Literary Society, the -Cue 'n' Curtain Club, and the Manuscript staff. Wendell ·Clark, well known for hi~ ·literary contributions to Wilk.es publications is honorary president of the Literary !Society and editor of the Manuscript. Connie Smith, active in Theta Delta ' Rho affairs and • energetic on the cheerleading team, still finds time to contribute to the Manuscript. !Selections for the CoHege Antho_logy were made from thousands of entries, making it a distinct honor for the poems of three students from the same school to be chosen. 58COEDSCELEBRATE THETA.DELTA RHO'S "SWEAT SHffiT DAY" Such remarks as, •~I feel warm a~ toast," ·o r "'.{'his is the warmest I'v.e ·been all year," can now be -h eard around lhe Wilkes campus.

This is•the question all · administration-supported activities are asking themselves these days. Here we are with the end of the current semester rapidly coming to an end, and the Student and Administrative Councils have failed to reach an agreement on the proposed budget for the 1951-52 school year. Budget talks at Wilkes progress as well as truce talks in Korea. H's about time that one, or both bodies let the campus organizations kn·o w the status of their budgets. The organizations know that money doesn't grow on trees. But if they knew how much money will. be allocated for this year, they would be able \ to prune their budgets accordingly. As the matter stands, the Beacon, for one, is operating on an unjustifiable minimum. We believe that we are producing a good newspaper, but know that we could do better if our budget was approv~d. For example, the president of an administration-supported activity asked the Beacon to publish a picture of his organization's members. Under orq,inary conditions it would be done. But being budget-minded, the Beacon refused to do so. It refused because one "cut" costs about six dollars; multiply this by fifteen c:lubs and you have a tidy sum. But the Beacon is only pne of many organizations. Did you know ,that the Student Council will have to scrape the barrel (but good) to bring in a 'name band' for the Cinderella Ball? But we are not complaining about the amount 6f money available; we know that the drop in student enrollment d~creased •t he amount of money available for student activities. Our 'beef' is that it is about time the Student and Administrative · Councils reach an agreement on the proposed budget for the current year. They reached an agreement in Korea. Let's do the same! .BET,WEEN CLASSES by J. FRANKOSKY ♦ • • • ♦ • • ♦ ♦ • • • STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council met on Tuesday evening, November 27, in Chase Hall. Council President Joe Reynolds opened the meeting· with- a discussion of the Student Council Dance held Friday, November 23. All commen.t about the dance has been favorable, qnd the Council receive d 100 per cent dividends. New business was brought to the council's attention Mr. Reynold~ 'read a letter he h,ad received from the President of -the senior class at Dallas Township High Scl}ool. The senior class would like to have Mr. R~ynolds speak to them on "College Life''., It was suggested by various members 0f the Council that the President attend this meeting if it is at all possible. The next item on the agenda was the presentation of a constitution by the Education Society. Joe Reynolds appointed a committee of three, Leo Kane, Bob Reynolds and Alex Cathro -to study the constitution and give a report on it at the next meeting. Mr. Robert Partridge has suggested a new schedule for class and club meetings, in order to eliminate the conflicts that have been arising when two or more clubs meet at the same time. The Counc}1 discusssd the schedule, and decided that it would be very effective if carriec! out properly. '!'he schedule is as follows : First Tuesday in every month- All class meeting , Band , and Choral Club. Second Tuesday in every month- Band, Choral Club, Economics Club, and the Biology and Psychology Clubs. Third Tuesday in every n;ionth- Band, Choral Club, and Chemistry Club. Fourth Tuesday in every month- Education Club, Band, and Choral Club. Cue 'n' Curtain Club will meet every Monday evening, Theta Delta Rho every Tuesday evening; The Letterman's Club on evenings designated. The stalls of the Beacon and Amnicola will meet when they so desire, as will the cheerleaders, the Deba ting Society, and the Assembly Committee. The I. R. C. meets every Tuesday at 12:15. If an organization deems it necessary to hold a meeting in lieu of their regularly scheduled meeting, the extra meeting cannot be held. on any other Tuesday between 11 and 12 A. M. The Student Council hopes that all clubs and classes wiU carry out this schedule to the best of tp.eir ability. It is also hoped that this will give Class Presidents incentive to hold meetings more often than they have been doing, at least once a month. · · The Council received a letter from Mr. Robert Moran who has suggested that the band be given letters in award for their services. The letters., are a Blue "W" with "band"' lettered on it in Gold. The award will be purchased by the band, and will be mounted on a gold coat sweater. The award will be given for two years' service in the band. Wayne Madden moved that the Student Council approve the band awards, and the motion was seconded by Leo Kane. It was unanimously carried. Present at the Council meeting was Mr. Al Molosh who represented the Letterman's Club. He asked permission for the Lettermen lo hold the Letterman's Ball on December 14 in the college gymnasium. The tickets will cost $4.00 per couple; and Al Anderson's band will be there. Isabel Ecker moved that the Council give ·the Lettermen permission for the Letterman's Ball, and the motion was seconded by Wayne Madden. Mr. Molosh also aksed permission for the Lettermen to hold the April Showers ball on April 18th, 1952. The dance will be semi-formal, and the tickets will cost $2.80 per couple. Mr. George Lewis indicated that he could not understand why the -Lettermen want the Council's permission so early. and ·Mr. Molosh stated that they felt that since April 18 was their date on the· calendar, the ea'rlier they got he Council's permission, the easier it would be for them to complete their a rrangements. The motion was made by Alec Cathro, and seconded by Mr. Voytek, and it was unanimously carried that the Lettermen can hold the April Showers Ball. The Council has decided that it will hold dances in the Gymnasium after each Home Basketball Game. The Council voted to spend $25 for records, and they also ask that records be donated if any student cares to do so. Those records would be kept in the gymnasium office, and used for all record dances held there. · The meeting was then adjourned. Council members not present were Mike Lewis, James Reynolds and Henry Mrolli. • • ♦ ♦ • • • • • • • • • • • EXTRAS 0~ GRAMERCY SET ♦ • GIVE A PINT~ MAKE IT BLOOD! CRAFTSMEN ENGRAVERS 20 N.

After five years of taking it on the chin ·before the whole town, King's rose up and far outclassed Wilkes . The ·Colonels' delight in being the underdog has now come true. The Colonels always thought they could win no matter what. Last year that spirit carried us through. This year it couldn't quite ma:ke it. In the first half King's pretty near stamped it to pieces. For five minutes or so it came back ,strong in the third quarter. Georgy Elias of the ·old school snared a King's pass and thundered some 40 yards. Then· Nick took over. Nicholas had had a hard day. He'd step back to pass and in a flicker of your eye he'd be rudely set on the seat of his pants. He'd try to run through all the mud, trying like the very old devil to hula~hula his way through the line, and up would step a couple of red and yellow monsters and engulf him. But in the third quarter Nick too·k over. A few short runs and. a lovely pass to big Al Molosh put us five yards away from a TD. On the second play Nick went over on one knee. We had returned, The cheerleaders went wild, Moran went wild, ~nd the stands went wild. But the joy didn't last very l9ng. A few minutes later a fast, shifty King's halfback named Harry Miller went 80 yards down the sidelines to score. The worm had turned. Now we just dug in and tried to stop them. A while later they scored again. Pretty soon the game was over. King's 27, Wilkes 7. THERE'S NEVER A PEEP The future is dark. Whereas we used to be the underdogs in name only, we now are honest-to-goodness underdogs from the soles of our feet to our very short haircut. The underdogs always have it tough. They have to fight themselves and the other guy. It will be a completely new experience for us. The three-cheers boys, of which Wilkes has many, don't stick with underdogs. These guys who never won a thing in their lives have to have a winner. Maybe that's Why Damon Rul)yon was so right when he said, "There's never a peep though cheers are cheap for the guy who is running la.s t."

As this paper goes to print, our own squad is ready to meet Hartwick College for the opener of the season. As to the possibilities, who knows? Wilkes has a lot of cagers back who can run the posterior off the opponents, but they also lost a big gun in last year's attack. Parker Petrilak, the mig ty bombardment of last year's team, is scoring for Uncle Sammy over in Korea, the haven of unrest. ' Big Park meant a lot last year\ and he'll be missed. Jake Bator is also at the front! A quiet fellow - who doesn't even let you know he's around deserves a lot of credit for his work on the court. The silent one is Bobby Benson, another athlete who never participated in high school sports but has risen fast at Wilkes. Rolling ,Robert is captain of th.i s· year's court squad and has been running the candidates through their paces in the gym trying to separate the boys from the men. By the way, Benson last year broke the Wilkes' individual lifetime scoring record. Every point this year will be added on to his pile of counters so far. So we look for Bobby Henson and his B-Bar-B Riders to race along and see if they can reproduce the famous cage teams of '47, '48' and '49. 1' OH. MY ACHIN' KNEE Old man injuritis is doin' us wrong.

By CHET MOLLY The tendency in American Education today is toward socialism and the great issue is whether socialism as preferable to the American tradition is to be permitted without criticism in education. This was a statement made by Lucille Cardin Crain, editor of "The Educational Reviewer", at the third session of the Herald Tribune Forum. Morpliine is a dope.'' "Exactly. My fi.rs~ husband's name was Morphine and he was one of th'e biggest dopes I've ever met!"

GROANERS TO OPEN AGAINST CORTLAND by Paul Beers The mats are out -once more, and Wilkes College's most succ,essful athletic team is g-earing up for another whiz-bang season.

It's pretty c,ertain that we're in for another great season. Captain Zip Cromack may be gone, as is lovable Skinny .E nnis, rough George Dvorsnia:k, and Joe Stephens, but the club still has a lot of top-flight t~lent. At 123 lbs. Joe Reynolds' little br other, Bobby, may be spinning them, if the old Roxy Reynolds isn't able to work his knee back into -joint. At 130 lbs . lean Phil Husband will be out to duplicate his splendid 1950 record of 6-2. There are new men at 137 lbs., all giving Stan .Schlosser and his famous escapism a rough time. The ,h eavier weights are filled mostly by n.ew men. Joe Yanovitch is out and 1-ooks good . Last year's surprise heavyweight, Bob Javor, is slowly rounding into shape. Bill Foote may change his mind and start to moan again. Whe ther or not Mr. Big, mighty Mouse McMahon, will be back is uncertain. Mouse has knee troubles, the same injuries that prevented him from playing football. Billy Davis is one of the brightest prospects to come along in quite som.e time. Charlie Thomas is also out.

Over two hundred guests feasted their eyes and ears on the fabulous floorshow, which starred Kirby Walker, Bob Bacon, the Hannoneers, Hank Novak, and the Beacon Boys: Gordon .Young, Howie Phillips, Chuck Gloman, Joe Hirko and George Kabusk. ' The festivities, held in the Admiral Stark room of the Hotel Sterling, began promptly at nine to the tune of Jack Melton's combo. Dancing was interrupted at 10:30 by M. C. Bob Bacon of radio station WB.RE, who introduced Kirby Walker. The audience sizzed at Walker's torrid renditon of "Heat". A satire, College Daze (original title!) was enacted by George Kabusk, w'ho played a strict professor, Dr. Kinsey. His students were Joe Hirko, alias John Jacob -C. Savoni, the type of student who has slipped through the college entrance exams. Gordon Young was a frustrated movie-goer, Skipalong !Rhapsody, protege of Hopalong. Valentino, ze great movie lover, found his prototype in tha·t great Wilkes lover, Howie Phllips. Chuck Gloman was ·cast as the type who sees too many movies, and_gets his actors mixed. The audience died · with laughter over his · portrayal BETWEEN CLASSES of Red Skelton, was slayed by his impersonation of Edward G: Robinson and finally was laid to rest by hs mimicking of Digger O'Dell, the frendly undertaker. The skit ended on a musical note. A special alma mater, Wonderin', was composed 1:1specially for for the act by Maestroes Sanders, Kabusk and Gloman. , Next a melody of popular tunes was rendered by Hank Novak, who also furnished music for the Comedy Skit of songs, quips, quacks, and · gymnastics enacted by Howie Phillips and Chuck Gloman. The last event of the evening found Joe Hirko givng Hamlet competition with a Soliloquy on sleep. Joe's punch line, "I" could sleep for a week", should join the roster of famous last words. MC Wms.

Their selection was based on scholarship, co-operation and leadership in college actvities, citizenship, and promise of future usefulness. Lashing at commercialism and pro!essionalism in college athletics, George F. Ralston, director of athletics at Wilkes College, presented a program of reform to the Wilkes Faculty Women a,t their meeting Wednesday night-a program he said that Wilkes College is striving to pµt into effeot. LITERARY SOCIETY DISCUSSES WORKS Pre-empted from their usual meeting place in Ohase Lounge by ,t he Women of Wilkes, . the Literary Society retreated to the lobby of the Gym last W ednesd,a y night where desp ite the 1ack of iculinary facilities, and literary atmosphere, they held their usual discussion and social session. This was the fifth meeting of the fall semester. The group, under the chairmanship of Charlie Thomas, opened the. program with .a discussion of three of Dale W ax:mouths recent poems, "Fletcher ·Smith," "Basketball Game," and "The Red Rooster's Destiny." After d-isposing of Mr. Warmouth, .t he group turned to the question, "What is modern poetry?" The consensus was that poetry differs from prose mainly in con(!iseness of expression, and rhythm. Despite the fact that th.e immense windows in the front of the gym .allowed for no privacy, ;the group played the us11al round of iterary Charades. Oblivious to the astonished stares of passers-by, the team composed -o f Dale Warmouth, Charlie Thomas, Jerry Smit h, Gene Scrudato, and Li-bby McQuillican, decisively trounced M.r.

"When teams are evenly matched, YEARBOOK PLANNING '52 BEAUTY CONTEST I FROM THE SIDELINES By BOB SANDERS ANDROCLES AND THE COLONEL A legend once told the story of a Roman named Androcles who befriend~d a lion by removing a thom embedded In the animal's hide. Later, when the hero was about to die by a lion in an arena for crimes against Ro.me, the one lion who was to be his executioner happened to be the one he had relieved of pain many years ago. You know the rest. but here is the modem version. Friday nl,ght. a Colonel will stick a thorn back Into a lion from King's College as the two grid squads meet in battle for the sixth time. From this side of tl!,e sidelines, it looks like Wilkes will walk away with another victory, only it looks to be pretty close. Many camps feel that this is King's year. but we"ve heard that before too. The way the cards are slacke<j., Wilkes ought to be able to stop the Monarch attack. Our Colonels dropped a heartbreaker to St. Francis because of a blocked P,Unl resulting in a touchdown in the closing minutes of play. Actually, they seemed to win the contest. They lost to Ithaca by a scroungy six points, with 50 per cent of the Wilkes big guns sitting at home or on the bench because of Injuries. · They trampled Bridgeport when they finally _pulled together. They dropped one to Bloomsburg, a team which no one can lick, and which has since taken the Pennsylvania Teachers Championship. Last week, it was Maryland State. Another loss. although the Colonels were on the right side of the statistics board, and Al Nlchol'a s didn't even make the trip. A look at the Klngsmen's record shows that they also lost to SL Francis. but only by two points. They won and lost games alter that. The Mon~rchs' two biggest defeats came at the hands of unbeaten Trenton State and a royal tramping by Scranton University, who lost only to Muhlenberg this year, Now, as to the two eleven~ in comparison, they seem to be lust about equal. but here's one factor that might be in Wilkes'· favor. By Friday, King's will have had a two week lay-off with no competition after a loss to Arnold College. By Friday. Wilkes will be set to play their third straight game, having met two powerhouses. Bloomsburg STC and Maryland State. King's might reform their squad and come up with a few tricks, but the point remains that Wilkes has been toughened up to almost any game because- of · the two p;evious battles. For that reason, I take Wilkes as the victor in the Anthracite Bowl on Friday night.I At any rate, It will be one of he greatest city battles ever staged. scholarships off.ered by Wilkes to high sehoo! graduates. "These scholarships are opeµ· to _all students who can meet the academic standards of the college:' he said. He .added Wilkes currently is rearranging its scheduJ.e· so that it will soon be · playing only those colleges having athl,etic policies similar to its own, which subordinates sport to academic work. ":S uch a poli~y," Ralston contended, "leads to reasona·b le sue- · cess on the field-and puts students rather than mere at'hletes there." THE VARSITY LIMP By ·PAUL B. BEERS SPEAKING ABOUT ONE THING AND ANOTHERI was talking to Joe Blow from the Windy City the other day. Being a very breesy character, Joe Blow has something to say. We were talking about this and that and one thing and another, when Joe happened to remark that what this town needs Is a good case of the hates, very much like the Windy City has had for the last couple of decades. A good case of the hates does things for a town, Joe says. In fact, Joe Blow will tell you that '-Chicago never had anymore fun than it had when It was chasing Scarface and his boys from dive to dive. Joe says that that was Windy City's golden age. Things have gone ·down n?w, Joe admits, but still Chicago has those bitter football feuds between the Bears and the Cardinals and occasionally somebody will take a pop at somebody else, like the doll who put the slug Into Eddie Waitkus. But compared to the Windy City, Wilkes-Barre and Wyoming Valley are very dead indeed. And here is where Joe Blow from the Windy City suddenly Interested me. Joe says that the Wilkes-Bing's football rivalry is lust the thing that this town needs. It would be a renaissance or something. Suddenly everybody would develop a good case of the hates, and just like that the town would develop a good case of the hates, and just like that the town would wake up. I kind of agree with Joe Blow from the Windy City, but the plain old football rivalry between Wilkes and King's isn't enough. It's going to have to be a real rivalry to wake this town up. All this goody-goody stuff that goes with the rivalry now will. have to go. The solid citizens and the not-so-solid citizens 'want a red:bJooded rivalry. Today's interest in the Wilkes-King's football game starts 15 minutes before the game and eilds 15 minutes alter the game. No wonder this Valley doesn't knpw that 'u has two mature colleges right lo its midst. A good case of the hates would fix things proper. Just suppose that It was a , little less than treason for a Wilkes guy to think that King's might win, lust like it Is at West Point. Just suppose that this phony old tradition of the bane! was made an l11sue, that the records accurately, kept its history, and that the losing team would feel like Frank Sinatra giving, away Ava when it had to part with it. Well, just suppose that our rivalry had at least a touch pl some of the stuff that the Army-Navy. Harvard-Yale, and Georgia-Georgia Tech rivalries have. A good case of the hates isn't the type of thing that makes you whip out ~our shotgun and give the fing's quarterback both barrels. A good; case of hates would, though, make you feel like a new man-or a new woman. II the King's quarterback was a bum, you'd let him know It. And when you won-you'd let the world know it. Nowadays there's a nice, dinky article in the paper alter th-; game te'lling who won and how wonderful a game it was. Then for a whole year It's forgotten. and all that character that was made in the ame goes to wast,e. Like Joe Blow says, this town is pretty dead. The only things folks can talk about are Swoyersville, parking tickets, cmd lousy weather. Everything Is just ripe for a good rivalty to take hold, something that would get the solid and not-too-sollid' citizens up in arms. The present farce must cease or we'll all be neurotics. KEEPING THE SLATE CLEANOh yes, tonight the Colonels meet the Monarchs down at Meyers Stadium. Everybody will be there. It's sort of like a national institution or something for everybody that has l:mything to do with either school to go to. the WilkesKing's game, just like all 'the folks who go to church· on Christmas or Easter. This is the old traditional game. Since 1946 eleven Colon.e ls and eleven Monarchs have fought for honors like two barbarians. Lucidly enough we have had the better animals and have been able to chew the most meat off the old bone. In 1946 Poop Waters rolled over the goal line and gave the <3olonels ' a thrilling 7-0 win. In 1947 Poop rolled a li)tle harder and we won 12-6. In 1948 Poop rolled even harder and · we won 26-0. By 1949 Poop just couldn't roli anymore, so lorkie took over. Florkie bulldogged for two touchdowns, Gus Castle sprinted for three, and Al Nicholas-fancy meeting him there-zagged for two more. The final and luscious score was 47-7. By 1950 Wilkes was through palying the powerhouse and we had to bring forth our guts. Our 14-12 victory was wonderful. It was probably the atliletic achievement of Wilkes' College history. This fall has been the most miserable fall for dear old Wilkes. The soccer team couldn't quite win one In seven starts. The football team Isn't far behind, In fact, the gridders have only one over the boaters. In live starts we managed to be one club, Bridgeport, whose physical condition was very much out of the 1 pink. Offensively we're w,eak, making qnly a total of 46 points, or less than our 1 collection In the 1949 King's game alone. Defensively we've been alt' right, giving away only 78 points. But King's isn't so hot herself. The Monarchs were all set for a most beautiful season, but somehow the signals got mixed and they're just as muddled up as we are. So you might say that this. ls the Battle of the Bums, though not to be confused with some of the lights television has been showing lately. Like ,last year, Ralston will have to play his_ guts, because that old 1949 muscle and manpower is gone. Dlmmle over in King's will be playing his guts too. It ought to be enjoyable. A Battle of the Bums Is always enjoyable, especially when one set of bums righteously reform themselves and look like champions. Maybe we can do it? �Friday, November 16, 1951 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 4 cu·e ' ' Curta1·n Group Sees Play in New Yor~ in the official flesh" than proof vehement.

Included in the prp gram for the evening were a period of literary criticism, a social hour, and a round of Literary Charades. ' A short story by Elaine Bogon, "1Soaring", was the topic for discussion. This selection, which had for its theme the experi,ences of a ten-year-old girl in a deserted amusement park, was subjtected to intensive criticism centering on the authoT's choice of descriptive adjectives, use of figures of speech, and choice of incidents. The story was very favorably received by the group; in their very best tradition th,ey declared Miss iiogon "to rank high on the literary sci;i.le." Plans for future activities of the society were discussed and it was agreed that in the n.ear future provision should be made for memhers of the s·o ciety to read so\ne particular work of a contemporary novelist like Ernest Hemingway or Philip Wylie for tbe pu;rpose of group criticism.

The three-page release carried Major General Lewis B. Hershey's announcement that ' sucty-three percent of the 339,000 students who took the Selecitve ·service College Qualification Tests last Spring and Summer made a s<.:ore of 71:l or better. , The next nine paragraphs "rehash" the much-publicized information on the new series, of deferm.e nt tests which will be conducted by the Educational Testing Service of Princeton on December 13, 1951 _and April 24, 1952 . / The last two parag~aphs of the lengthy release do, however, deal with the unpublicized act that eventually you will be on Uncle Sam's payroll (and we don't mean civil service). It so happens that the intent of Congress was "that these students should be deferred only until they have completed their college training. 'Deferment' means that a registrant shall have his·· service delayed or postponed until he completes his educati'on. It is by no means an outright exemption." This part of the law is just; but check the 1951 Amendments to the Universal Military Training and Service Act, which provides "that any registrant who was in a deferred classification on June 19, 1951, or. who was thereafter placed in a deferred classification shall remain liable for training and service until he reaches the age 35. ThE;)refore, any registrant deferred now as a student will be req~red, if physically fit, to serve two years in the armed forces sometime before he becomes 35. . ·We have no axe to grind for we feel that the current ,conscription law will not affect us. However, we feel constrained to question our Congressmen for considering what we believe to b~ an unjust Selective Service Act. , 'rhe country should not exempt the "bright boys", but,neither should it place a 15 to 20 y~ar mortgage on their lives. Wouldn't it be more feasible for the student who gets a four-year deferment to be subjject to the draft until he is thirty (foU:r years past the 26 year age limn), instead of age thirty-five, as Congress recommends. EDITORIAL Wilkes Tops Community Chest Goal Two weeks ago, at assembly, the students of Wilkes College were asked to contribute $200 to the Community Chest. . A grand total of $60 was received. The college 'maintenance :ontributed $150; more than twice the amount of the students, . although the maintenance group is much smaller than the studen body. The Cue 'n' Curtain, realizing ·the students' failure to -make their goal, gave a last-minute contribution of $5 to the fund. Fortunately , the faculty were more generous than the students, and_due to their efforts, the $1150 goal was passed ny 1 %. The contributions now stand at $1175, no thanks to the students. Since this is the first year W~lkes has been given ·a goaf ,it was hoped that the students would giv,e their all:out support to the cause, which is indeed worthwhile. The student body made a very poor showing in the drive, leaving the burden to fall on the faculty. It is fortunate that the Wilkes College faculty is willing to cover the indifferent and perhaps callous attitude of the student body. Wake up, Frosh, Sophs, Juniors, and yes, even you Seniors. You're supposed to be building the reputation of the college, ;not tearing it down. JEAN KRAVITZ Letters To The Editor -Mr. Editor: Wilkes is a small school and a young one. -B ecause of these two attributes, -it should also be a school with a close-knit student body, which should be striving to enrich the spirit and traditions of 'W ilkes. Instead, we find a student body full of petty bickerings and woefully lacking in the basic sp.irit that we need to make Wilkes a college, and not .an in stitution where classes are attended and an education is "acquired". 'Several days ago, the campus was witness to proba:b ly the most assinine exhibition t-0 which it will ever ,be subjected. I refer, of course, to the "battle of dit-to sheets" which was waged between the Junior class and a s·i:r,all minoriy of the .Student Council. Perhaps, as the ·Council minority maintained, the battle was one of principle. Be that as it may, it was in very bad taste and left a very unpleasant odor around the campus. In a democratic institution, "majority r ules" is not just a phrase, it is a course of action which the losing minority must submit. When a group resents being ibrought to heel by the majority and tends to sirike out on its own, the foundations of that democratic institution are on shaky ground indeed. The right to write a minority opinion is not being questioned here, r-ather it is th.e conduct followmg the opinion that is comidered a disgrace to the classes which these few people represent in the Student Council. Now to Mr. Ladd and his letter criticizing the Beacon. I am not now and never have been a member of the Beacon, so I can speak with reasonable partialness. I would be the last one to claim that the .Beacon represents the epitome of English prose, however, I think that· it compares favorably with college newspapers throug,h the East. -Getting out a paper every week and keeping up with studies is a tremendous burden. The paper must be planned and all space filled . I might further suggest that since Mr. Ladd is so weII versed in the newspaper field, . that he j-0in the Beacon staff and contribute his little tow.ard improving what he so obviously considers to be far past saving. Who knows, he might even work up to be edi-tor and he forced t-0 defend his paper from attacks from people who consider his printed matter "highschoolish". Sincerely, Howie Phillips Editor-in~Chief Wilkes Co!leg Beacon Wilkes -College Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania Dear Sir: I was very much di sappointed after reading Mr. Ladd's letter published in the J.ast issue of the Beacon, in which he and some of his constituents expressed the feeling that the Beacon should improve its literary standing or liquidate. I am inclined to disagree with Mr. Ladd and his followers . I strongly believe that the publication being put out by the Beacon staff is excellent. It contains the latest and most informative news in an easy-to-understand language. A variety of subj·e cts is covered in each issu,e and every campus organization is given equal publicity. ·Chuck G!oman's feature stories are really amusing and surely there ' is a moral ;behind each one. ,Sports coverage by Bob Sanders, Paul Beers, and Henry Novak is up-to-date and gives the students and faculty a complete knowledge of what is going on in Wilkes College sports. Maybe Mr. Ladd is "rawther" too busy to take a sincere in terest · in Wilkes College sports. Furthermore, if Mr. Ladd were to compare the "Varsity Limp" and other sports articles with the Times-Leader and the Morning Record, a s well as other leading newspapers, he will find Friday, November 9, 1951 __;:..,_ _,. that most ,;ports writers wr4te in this simple, amusing, interesting , and informative style. While in high ·school, I served as editor of the school · newspaper, and I had the privilege of reading newspapers from many colleges; The ·Wil,kes Beacon. wa~, in my opinion and the opinion of our faculty advisers, an ideal college newspaper. Just what does Mr. Ladd want? A series of Shakespeare's plays or Wordsworth's poems? The place for that is in the classroom. The paper is published for providing a form of relaxation and information for the study-weary Wilkes students. It is accomplishing just that. And furhermore, if he is so anxious to raise the literary standards, why doesn't he and so.me of his admirers join the staff? Believe me, sir, the Beacon staff is doing an excellent job. Kep up th e good work. Well , I must close now since I have animportant meeting with Shakespeare at W estminster Abbey thi s afternoon.

The plans were discussed further at a joint meeting of the Councils of King's and Wilkes on Wednesday evening In the King's College Do~itory on Notth Rive Street. George Lewis and Henry Merolll will be in charge of Homecoming Functions in the absence of Council President. Joe Reynolds. The Alumni has asked that those clubs who decorate for Homecoming will keep their expense& lo a maximum of $$.00. The Council is also making plans for the Student Council Dance scheduled for November 23. James Reynolds suggested a co-ed night at the gym. and President Joe Reynolds suggested extending an open invitation to all college students who are home at that time. and also the High School students who are interested in going to colleqe. No motion was earned and the issue 'will be discussed again at the next meeting. The Enqineering Club has presented its Constitution to the Student Council for ratllicaUon. and a committee was appointed to make a report on the Constitution. Two members of Theta Delta Rho, Anne Belle Perry and Kay Reid asked for funds to put on an All-College Tea. Miss Perry pointed out to the Council that College Teas have become tradition at Wilkes. She feels that they serve a social purpose, and make possible a closer bond between students and faculty. The Council voted to 'allow Theta Delta Rho $40 for an All College T,a. Miss Reid also asked permission for the Sorority to give a card party In the cafeteria on December 7. Admission will be 50 cents. The proceeds from this card party will go toward the war orphan fund. The rest of the meeting was devoted to a discussion of the buaget. The Council ls very anxious lo come to some aqreement with the administration over ,the budget. and this discussion will be continued at the next meetlnq. • • • • • • • • • ♦ • ::..._November 9, 1951 Friday, • • • ♦• ♦ CULTUl?~ COl:?~~12 ••• "DO NOTHING CLUB" IS ACTIVE ON CAMPUS The biggest little noise on the campus, both literally and figuratively, is Chapter Twenty.

It was clean if not facile in technique and-most of all-infused w'th nre musical sensi,tivity and taste. In the face of these qualities, no wonder the l)rchestra, conducted by Georg e S·c hick, produced one of the notable accompaniments of the season." The tentative program of Mr. Eaton's concert fs as follows: C haconne· in D minor, Bach-Busoni; Faschingsschwank aus Wien (Viennese Carnival), Schuman; Sonata in A major K. V. 331 (Theme with variations), ~Mozart; and Preludes in E,' minor and 'o minor, Nocturne in E minor, and Scherzo in B-flat minor, Chopin.

The Eaton concert is the only Qne in a series of eight to which admission will be charged. ,Still youthful, Mr. Eaton has ~ained the plaudits of many in musical circles. In addition to the Chopin Fellowship his list of musical accomplishments include the A,aron Naumberg scholarship of the Colleg e of the City of New York, a very successful appearance as soloist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and a scholarship to the Manhattan School of Music, from which he graduated last year. He has recently returned from a European .tour where he held German audiences spellbound with his music.

Irving 'Saboski of the Chicago Daily N.ews has this to by Hank Novak Tomorrow night at 8:3-0 at the Kingston High School Stadium, the Wilkes College Colonels clash with one of the state's few undefeated and untied teams when they play host to a powerful Bloomsburg State Teachers College eleven. ISince the Bloomsburg Teachers are boasting one of the smoothest operating aggregations in recent years,, it will certainly require some flashy offensive work and extraordinary defensive playing on the part of the Ralstonmen if they intend to shatter he winning ways of the down river col~ge. The Colonels, although well rested, still have ~ few first string performers on the injured list; namely, Eddie Davis, Al Nicholas, Dan Pinkow.ski, an d GeoTge Elias. However, Coach Ralston is hoping that all of thes·e sterling ball players will be sufficiently mended to play most of the contest against the "Huskies". The result of tomorrow night's tilt will depend largely on whether Al Nicholas and Eddie Davis will be able to finish the contest without incurring further damage to th.eir already banged-up legs. Also, if Al and Eddie can elude the clever defense tactics for which t he Huskies are noted, the latter will certainly be in f.or a peck of trouble. The Huskies use the same single wing formation favored by Coach George Ralston's Colonels, and the resulting battle might well be a collision of bruising power football .sparked by passing. It will bring tog ether the Huskies ace pitcher, T:Ommy Spack, who hr one of the most feared p a s s er s in T·e achers College circles, and the Colonels' bri.Jliant chucker, Eddie Davis. .Jf either of these hurlers are bottled up, f.arts look for:ward to a running duel between two talented backs- Al Nicholas, who incidentall y, was named as the "best back the Huskies faced last season," and the Huskies brilliant Bob Lang. When the Huskies invade Kingston Stadium, they will bring with them an unbeaten record of six straight games, their seventh win over a two year period, and their third nod o'v er the Colonels, since the two teams began playing in 1948. The only time that the Colonels defeated the Hui;ki~ was in 1949, when the great Wilkes el.even of that year ran wild to post a stunning 27 to O victory.

Report on the HERALD-TRIBUNE FORUM By WENDELL CLARK ED. NOTE-This is the first in a series of Reports on the New York Herald-Tribune Forum which was attended by Dr. Farley, Wendell Clark and Chet Molly. The annual session of the New York Herald Tribune Forum, its twentieth, took as its theme the. problem of balancing moral responsibility and scientific progress. The Forum met, as usual, at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York. A. Whitney Griswold, president of Yale University, set the keynote or the Forum by stating that democracy is 1he only political philosophy which has succeeded in drawing the line, in accordance with reality, between •t he opportunities and responsibilities of the individual and those of society. Mr. Griswold, a ne~t, sandy-hair- second in importance and power ed man with a vigorous voice, said only to that of the President, that "the fate of our nation and · Stuart Symington, the present our civilization" depends upon the Administrator of the Reconstruccontinuation of an educational pro- tion Finance Corporation, said that cess which not only produces scien- the R.

Mr. Cook, who has been called "our ambassador witrout porJ;folio to Great Britain," noted that the British Parliament is not subjected to lobbying or sp'ecial interest groups , because a man enters the British Parliament with th'(! idea of serving the nation as a whole, while an American may enter Congress "as a one-man delegation from an industry or crop."

This year the same question is being asked. I believe, along .with many of my fellow students, that the paper .s hould not be printed because of , the · below-avevage material that has be.en published in the six issues that have come out to date. Unless the literary stu~ dents are vastly improved, it is not worth spending the money. The money certainly could be spent to better advantage! Looking over the O~tober 2•6ith issue, I s•a w this for instance : "Every dog has his day and so do athletes! We're speaking of a recent · soccer game in which one "rawther forceful" man from Elizabethtown was gently rubbed out by a Colonel.

As remedies against lobbying and special interests, Mr. Cook proposed certain r eforms in the American government: an expanded civil service system, which would include Presidential appointees; a study of the links between business and Congress to determine the influence of special interests; and consideration of the British system of initiating legislation. Hershey Discussed Dra.ft A special student session on "Keeping Our Minds Out of Uniform" explored the nature and extent of freedom in various fields The highlight of this session was a panel discussion on "Military Service- Bridge or Gap?" Major General Lewis B. Hershey, director of Selective Service, a gray, stocky, competent man, pointed out that the huge demand for man-power, at least three and one-half million men "in the predictable future," restricted deferrments for educational reasons to "those who by capacity and inclination are able to accept and pursue training which is necessary in order to have the kind of people that we need in the world." Stu\Jents on the panel, from Harvard, Vassar, and Yale, felt that there should be some int egration of the military and educational goals and asked that the years of military service, which they would give willingly, be years of "vital training" for life as citizens.

He didn't become a teacher by accident. He always wanted to be one. · -In a Beacon interview this week, he said: "It was under the influence of my father that I did not become a teacher earlier. Not that he disliked teaching as a profession. He held ,a high opinion of it, and, as a· matter of fact, he was for a whi,le assistant professor of oriental languages in the University -o f St. P,etersburg . But he also knew from his own experience that it is a rather frustrating kind of occupation not only from the financial point of view, but, occasinally at least, from the psychological point of view. However, once you get this teaching bug, it's hard to be happy doing anything else. "My father wanted me to follow his own calling, to become a professional diplomat. He must have had some premonition that the art of Talleyrand and M-atternich may be of little use in the coming age of Gromyko and Mc0arthy, but was not discouraged by such a possibility. As for me, I was not only his · obedient son, but one of his many devoted pupils and admirers. So it happened that, ·when in 1927 as a ' slim (,a nd I do mean S-VLM) undergraduate I enrolled in the University of Warsaw. I resolved to devote myself to the study of history and politics as an appropriate background for diplomatic profession. I was so serious about this tha't I even contemplated to continue my post-graduate diplo- our country and our dear ones. From a practical point of view this meant the loss of my job and diplomatic status and the nec,essity of starting the second stage of my apprenticeship to the American way of life with a,ll the disadvantages of a stateless underdog. "During this part of my life in America I have extended somewhat my limited command of English and have learned many things about the people and the country which I consider no less valuable for me as a sociologist, than those which I learned . later in various classes at Cornell and -Colum'hia. "This brings me, though, to the last part of my American adventures, which began in 1942-. At the time I was employed again by the Tali.sh Glovernment, now reconstituted in exile in London, and I decided to go back to school to learn more about some subjects that always interested me. It was a wonderful feeling to beback _in school. I took courses , in history, sociology and anthropology-, and wrote a number of term papers, examination papers and other such nuisances.

Esquire Menswear * �Friday, November 2, 1951 WILKFS COLLEGE BEACON I Walk A Loan By CHUCK GLOMAN It was laie in the evening. The paper-cluttered streets were nearly deserted. The moon was full (and so was my brotherin-law). ~ In this blissful setting, deep in the billowy willows of the sleepy little town of North Falsie, Montana, I work at the small but prosperous business firm-The Gyppo Finance Company. Our motto: We don't take chances like people in trances, we pay our stenogs for next week's advances. Lately, business has really been booming. Well, maybe it just seems that way because of the fact that romance has at last entered my life. Yes, you guessed it. I went and got hitched - just two weeks ago. I married a sweet young thing eighty-five years old. It's what you might call a "football romance"---,--l'm waiting for her to kick off. Her high school graduating class (Fieabite Refo.rm School-Class of 1895) voted her the girl with the forehead most likely to recede. I know it seems odd that a finance company should be open at night, but the ,manager of our firm, M. Bezzler, had several stacks of unanswered correspondence that had been accumulating for the past t wo months and decided to spend an evening cleaning it all up. So he phoned and said that I'd better come over to the office and straghten up the accounts immediately. "Make it fast," he screeched over the phone. "I want to get started right away." I entered the office just as he was hanging up ·the receiver. "What took you so long !" he shouted. "Heavy traffic," I replied weakly. "Well," he went on in a frenzied rage, "I'm going out for a few hours. ·Here. Take this pile of ! ? *' i ! accounts into your office and get to work!" Wfth that he tugged a huge stac-k of bills, receipts, statements, contral!tS and mortgages across the floor and' hoisted the -b ulging _pile onto my de!!k which stood in the center of a spacious, luxurious office (a reconverted telephone booth.) He then mumbled, a few more words of disgust and raced out the door. I had just started ,on the first letter when the door creaked open again. "What took you so long," I mumbled gruffly, mimicking the manager's raspy voice. Instead of hearing M. Bezzler's familiar screech I was astonished when a strange voice said, "Greetings!'" Thinking it was a representative from my Draft Board I turned toward the door and saluted. Much to my surprise I saw a short, fat, bald, bulb-nosed creature peer over the top of the mail stack "What can I do for you, sir?" I asked, trying to ,b e helpful. "Well," he drawled, " I saw your ·s ign outside that says 'Do You Need Money?' Andthe answer is 'yes'. When do I get it?" "Now, just a minute," I cautioned, as the corpulent figure stared at me thr0iugh his black-rimmed, fogged up glasses and waddled closer to the desk. "What do you think this is, a jackpot program?" "You mean it isn't?" "No, it isn't! This happens to be the Gyppo Finance Company!" "What do you do? JI.fake loans?" "That's right." "Good. Then make me a loan." "Not so fast. First you'll have to be interviewed. Make a date with my secretary." "Oh, I already have. We . had a marvelous fime _ but, as I said, how about that loan?" I could see by now that this ere~ture standing before me was Ii.o ordinary human being. In fact, I doubted that the guy was actually mr,M,AN. .a,u "In order to make you a loan, Sir," I explained, regaining my composure, "we mus~ know something of your background.

The play is scheduled for performance at the gymnasium the latter part of !November. Concerned with a Revotutionary War ghost looking for a fin.al resting place, the •p lay was a vehicle for s :a rah C,hu~hill when' it was performed this year at the Morosco ·T heatre in New York. The play is a romantic phantasy. There is no, message or moral, although the playwright emphasizes the importance of the past in providing strength antl encouragement for dealing with the present. ·T he plot revolves around a girl who inherits a ghost that complicates her life :by falling in love with it. The ghost, who has all the time in the world~and in the next-provokes her fiance and a newreporter, to dig up facts concerning his identity.

Doubtless, the aims of the United Nations are noble, perhaps, the mpst noble ever drafted by man. We may cynically look at the world situation and say: "What has the United Nations dones?" The answer is: The United Nations effected peace between Israel and neighboring Arab States. 2. The United Na•tions ~topped war between India and Pakistan over Kashmir. 3. Through the efforts of a United Nations Commission warfare was stopped and a free and independent United States of Indonesia established. 4. Upon the Security Council's endorsement, British and French troops withdrew from Syria and Lebanon in 1946. 5. Soviet forces withdrew ·from the norfq.ern part of Iran after Security Council discussion, 1946. 6. The Uxµted Nations adopted a Universal Declara-tion of Human Rights, the first intez:national proclamation of the fundamental rights of every human being. 7. · The United Nations has fed nearly 5,000,000 children in war-devastated countries, and has provided food and medical care for millions of expectant mothers in Europe and Asia. 8. The United Nations arranged for a large-sc9le anti-tuberculosis project under which 10,000,000 children in Europe have been examined and over 4,000,000 vaccinated. 9. The United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs supervises the trade in narcotics and maintains strict international control. 10. The United Nations Special Commission on the Balkans has achieved progressive pacification of the northern borders of Greedi. 11. . Calls on the International Court of Jus•tice for advisory opin· d 1 f d 1d ions ~n sett ements o juri ica . isputes are steaciily in~reasmg. 12. . . 13. . . . The United Nations Program of Technical Assistance for economic and social development is improving .the standards of living, the health, the education and welfare of milhons of people. (continued from page l) . In Korea the United Nations has taken history's first collective military action agai11st armed aggression. If you prefer to look at the present and future, rather t~an the past, the picture is less lucid. But should that make any difference-we never know what the future has in store. Our duty is to be responsible citizens, with a knowledge of, a trust in, and' a hope for mankind through the concerted efforts of the sixty members of the United Nations. Slogans have a succinct way of saying things. The slogan for the sixth birthday anniversary of the United Nations is: "Our Best Hope For Peace is United Nations Plus You." Octo'ber 22, 1951 The Editor Wilkes College Beacon Wilkes •College Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania Dear Mr. !Editor: I write in reference to the editorial "Where Was Wilkes?" which appeared in the· October 19, 1951 issue of the BE.A!OON. After reading the e,dit-Orial several times, I believe that the article embraces two ideas. One, to place the whole responsihilty of Wi1kes College representation in· community affairs on the Band and the Freshman Class, and t wo, to stimulate college giving in the present Community Chest Drive. The first objective of the editorial is totally uncalled for in view of the fact that itl is far more imp.o rtant for the college to support the Community Chest financially r a ther than physically. The Band was prepared t o march in the Community Chest Parade on October 7th, the scheduled date. When the parade was postponed, a conflict was created with the appearance of the Band in 'Ithaca. The Band missed classes on F r iday afternoon, •October 12th, and the fa culty members involved postponed examinations that should have been given Friday until Monday. The only ;chan.ce for the members 9f the ·b and to study. hap.p ened to ·be !Sunday. The Administration and myself feel that one trip a year is necessary to help 'build in- ed hy Miss Fox. Another show will be held this year and all T,D,R members interested in modeling or the coming fashion ·show are a sked to attend the meeting. If a large number of girls is present, the group will ·b e photographed for local newspapers by Ace Hoffman. centive and morale in the Band. The Band budget would not allow a trip to the Maryland State g-a me; therefore, we representoo the college at Ithaca. The Administration and I sincerely discussed and carefully considered al~ sides -o f the matter before we decided to .w ithdraw, the Wilkes contingent from the parade. The withdrawal was made in the h:est interest of the students in the Band.

Going into that final frame it looked as though Wilkes had its first soccer victory all sewed up. The score stood 4-2 in favor of the Colonels and Partridge's boys wete playing good ball. But then lightning struck. Like a guy in an A & P store, Elizabethtown wallked in, grabbed three large, economical sized goals, charged them up fast, and skipped out with a victory.

But ·twice the Colonels bowed to Elizabethtown, once by a 2-1 score, and then In that big bloomin' flip, 5-4.

WILKES STUDENT TEACHERS ASSIGNED TO FOUR HIGH SCHOOLS IN VALLEY / By GORDQN YOUNG The Wilkes College practice teaching program moved into high gear after prospective teachers received their pr~minary briefing from members of the education department The Wilkes College practice teaching · program moved into high gear after i,rospective teachers received their preliminary briefing from memb,ers of the -education department. Dr. Vernon C. S'mith, new department head at the local institution, expressed appreciation for the "fine cooperation and courtesy of Mr. Leonard Utz, in charge of the Wilkes-·~a1Te public school program, and for the help from -all other teachers concern,ed in both Wilkes-Barre and Kingston schools." When -asked a-bout the •a dvantages of a liberal arts education for teachers, Dr. ,Smith stated that a liberal arts college teaches more of the "what" of education rath'er than the "how". In other words, it gives the teacher-to-be enough solid material to make him somewhat of an authority on his subject. It does not overemphasize teaching techniques to the detriment of a liber-al knowledge •o f the subject. During the fall semester, there are seventeen Wilkes students practice teaching in the ar'ea, sixtEen in Wilkes-Barre's schools and one in Kingston High School. All are training for the secondary school level of instruction. !Dr. Smith is ,p leased at the interest shown ·b y the embryo teachers in their new experience. The names and their assigned schools are as follows: Coughlin: Milton Hayman, Albert Kislavage, Leo!lard Labotski, John Murtha, Catherine ·Rear, John Purek, Bernard Swetts, Stanley Swick. G.

Harrison Smith and the late Ernest G. Smith have donated to the College -Library bound volumes of old newspapers of great historical interest. The contribution consists of the following, plus $50.00 for preservation. The Wilkes~Barre Gazette of June 8, 1801 The Luzerne County Federalist of June 29; i801 , The Wy-0ming Herald of 1821 Republican Farmer and ,Democratic Joumal of 183·9 The Wilkes-Barre Advocate of 1848 The Luzerne Democrat of 1849 The •Luzerne Union of 1853 Record of the Times of 1853 Democratic Expositor and Luzerne Miner's & Farmer 's Journal of 1854 Harrison Smith, executive vicepresident of the Wilkes-Barre Pub- Jishing 1Company, donated six volumes of the Washington Globe of 1841. These papers •date from 1801 to 1879, and are very well preserved because they are printed on rag paper which is more durable than the newsprint of today. The Library hopes that the papers can be individually encased in cellophane so that they can be preserved indefinitely. These old newspapers are a. valuable source of information for anyone interested in the history of Wyoming Valley. They were collected -b y Oscar Jewell Harvey and Col. Ernest G. Smith in their preparation of "The History of Wyoming Valley". The papers of the earlier 1800's are very difficult to read because the printing is spotty and the print is very different from that of tocfay. In a copy of The Record of the Times for Tuesday, July 2, 1878, an advertisement by "Jordan, The Hatter" was found. This advertisement advised gentlemen to buy a "Tokio Hat", the latest importatilln. The hat was a cross between a derby and a snap brim and was adorned merely by several air holes in the crown. Patriotism evidently ran high in 1878, for the July 4th issue of the "Record" was devoted entirely to patriotic poems and essays. Other items of interest were thl:) advertisements of doctors and lawyers which gave the exact location of their offices, such as "west of the Market Street bridge"; and the very complicated railroad schedules . . The Library also received from Mr. Smith 104 bound volumes of the Times-Leader from 1928 to 1932. These newspapers will be used · by the Journalism ·Department, and will also •b e available to all students for research purposes. �Friday, October 19, 1951 2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON -----------·- ·- -----------------AN OPEN LETTER TO EDUCATION CLUB •••••••••••••••••• STUDENT BODY .

This club was revit-alized ·a t a meeting on Tuesday, ·at Pickering Hall. The qualifications for membership are merely that one be interested in the fiE;ld of Education to the . extent that he or she be willing to attend meetings at appr,opriate and prescribed intervals. ·F reshmen are especially invited, for there is a vital need to garner the interest of the students in the lower grades in such activities. At the reorganization meeting John Hartman was named temporary chairman of procedure. One of the first motions made and carried was that the con-s titution of the old Education Club be retained as the guiding document until such time as an appointed committee could study it .and recommend necessary changes if needed. This committee named by Mr. Hartman consists of the following mem·b ers: Chairman, Jerry Ostroskie, (who, incidentally is astoundingly well versed in !Parliamentary procedure) , and assistants, Boya Earl, Leo 'Slife, and ·C het Molly. ·T he group was also given the task of investigating the pro's and con's in regard to an affiliation of the Wilkes Education Club with the Future Teachers of America. The next findings of the committee will be promulgated at the next meeting, , · Also on the agenda for the next meeting, which will be held in •P ickering . 203 at 1'1 a. m., Tuesday, October ~. will be the nomination of officers. The nominations w.ere waived at the first meeting because those ,a ttending felt that there were not enough students presen to comprise a fair representation of future club membership. Dr. ·Smith, head of the Wil~es Education Department, and Mr. Crane, hi s assistant, acted as advisors at the meeting. Both gentlemen showed a keen interest in the affair and made enlightening comments upon various -p roblems which arose in the reorganization plans. Dr. .Smith gave a short talk concerning the pro's and con's of affiliation of the Wilkes Education Club with the Future Teachers of America. The F. T. A. is affiliated with the N. E. A., the National Education Associatio.n, Mr. Crane, evidently a staunch advocate of affiliation, gave a commentary consisting of f-a cts and figures pertaining to the N. E . A. This question of affiliation is pend!ng until the report of the committee appoinred by Chairman Hartman to investigate the matter. 1:2~ co1:2,-..~1:? ••• By CHUCK GLOMAN • • ♦ • • • ♦ • • ♦ ♦ • ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ • • I .read in the paper this morning a,bout more trouble in Hollywood.

The movies have been with us since 1896. At the turn of the century, pictures, filmed by Thomas Edison and several competitors who set up "studios" in ham-like structures, were crude, plotless, silent bits of emoti'on that jerked across the screen-and some of today's films aren't much more than that. Seriously though, since the custard-pie-throwing days of Charlie Chaplin, Ma1bel Normand and The Keystone Cops, movies have evolved into the 1-951 type of fantastic extravaganza known as science fiction. And some of them are really out of this moon! I saw a thing called "The Day The Earth Stood Still" last night at a special sneak preview. They call it a sneak preview because every sneak in town was there. The thing starred the fabulous Gregory Pack, who·•s been in so many B pictures he ·get,s fan mail from hornets. ;B ut let's look for a moment at the glamour capital of the world • Hollywood. If you enjoy top-notch pictures, by all means miss _these: iSAMSON MID DE LILAC-Cecil B. Pill, the f,a bulous director, consiMrs this celluloid flop, starring handsome Bulging Biceps and Hedy La F9ofnick in their most disgusting roles, his most sex. cessful picture. Personally, I think the only good about this picture was the Bugs Bunny cartoon they had in with it. But, in all due respect to Mr. Pill, I must mention a few of the outstanding scenes of lavish spectacle that a-p pear here and there in the film. The tender, emotional story begins on the fifth floor of a huge stone temple. It could have begun on the sixth floor but that's another story. In one of the m0st passionate scenes ever filmed, lovely De Lilac races from t he garden into Samson's luxurious palace and exclaims, "Oh, Samson, what a beautiful place you have here! I was just outside looking at the oranges, the ,p lums and the lemons!" "What! Did you find that slot machine again!" he shouts vio- lently. Then the great hero, captivated ,b y De Lilac's flowing beauty ( she was dripping with make-up) gazes into the soft 1blue eyes of his beloved and whispers soothingly, "Hey, that's a nice sarong you're almost wearing." And she timidly replies, "Oh, it's just somthing I threw on." '"Well, it looks like you missed!" he retorts gleefully. "After all.'' she continues, "it's just .made out of odds and ends." "I know," he mumbles, "But it's odd where it ends!" Then the mighty ,Samson (whom De Lilac affectionately calls 'Bul gy') emlbraces the starry-eyed princess and sings to her in his own inimitable style. Suddenly he stops, and says modestly, "I think my voice is unique. Tell me, did you ever hear anything like my singing?" "Not since I had my brakes relined," she answered haughtily. · So Samson continues warbling the hauntingly beautiful love ballad - "They Call My Father 'Sardine' Because They're Always Taking Him To The Can' or "In America We Drink Tea From ·Cups • In China They Drink Out Of Doors." At the close of the tune, De Lilac resumes breathing and whispers into the ear of Bulgy, "Let's get married." •~Married!" ,he gasps, pushing his eyeballs back into their sockets_ "We couldn't do that! You see I walk in my sleep." "What?" "I said I'm a somnallllbulist!" "That's okay," she mutters. "You go to your church and I'll go to mine." There's j.ust one thing I HAVE to say about this film. Although most of it wasn't so hot, the climax FROM THE SIDE·LINES By BOB SANDERS ' ·F or the first time in the history of Wilkes football, the stalwarts of the Wilkes attack had to put resin on their pants (instead of on their hands) to keep from sliding off the bench.

Every ,l)icture had been a dud! ·A shot of Al ,Molash came out fine-but you can't see his face! ,S,OOCER: Wilkes dropped two games since the last issue of the BEACO;N but I'll stop pleading for a win. The reason that soccer is having such a tough time rolling into t~e win column is the fact that soccer is a new game in an. isolated soccer area and that it is difficult to gain boys experienced in the field. Most top players have been developed by the coaching staff. There are only a handful that may have -p layed the game before. lf th1s area ever develops soccer as a scholastic sport, the Colonels will be a:bl.e to get hold of experienced players and with the present coaching staff '.Wilkes will really roll on the field and finally start defeating opposition. BOOTERS DROP TWO OVER THE WEEKEND by PAUL B. BEERS The Colonels have tli own a light of hope into one of the campus' biggest questions "When will the soccer team win a game ? " This past week the hooters came close, very close, two times. ,S aturday they traveled to Eliza·b ethtown and dropped a tough one to the Bethoians, 2-1. For three quarters . nobody could even get a whiff of the goal. Goalie Jim Moss put the skids to numerous luscious scoring attempts that the ·hometowners tried. In the third° quarter the Colonels scored, but it didn't count. Ed Wallison curved a beautiful one in from the sidelines, but on sideline kick-ins the ball must be touched by at least o.n e player, so Ed's drive was something of a robbing to the victory-starved Colonels. In the fourth quarter Elizabethtown got things going with a goal. The Colonels bounced right back, when Willie Olausen tied things up with a nice drive. With seven minutes of playing time . left, the Colonels pressed hard for one more But lilte a shot out of the blue Elizabethtown tallied and that was the old ballgame Tuesday the Colonels played great ball, probably the nicest soccer that they have ever · played Lock Haven, undefeated in two years and right behind West Chest. er and Penn State as Pennsylvania's top team, was tough, and rough, and good In the first half the ·Colonels paced the Teachers, with no one scoring. Lock .Haven did score once on a penalty kick, but no whistle had been blown and the kick was recalled. The Colonels got tough on the second one and held the Teachers. ·I n the third quarter Lock Haven tallied twice, Vogt and Weaver ma\king the scores. They scored again in the fourth ,quarter on a penalty shot by Creasy. Final score: 3-0 in fa:vor of Lock Haven. 3 THE VA.RSITY LIMP By PAUL B. BEERS The VarsityLike all the sad-faced guys in this big broad land of ours who lose football polls by one game, the Wilkes athletes are feeling pretty miserable tpis week. It's great to be a winner in a tight game, becaase then you can smile and pat yourself on the back and say that you're a money-player; a real pro, and very much like the New York Yankees with 1Santa -Claus Hank Bauer. But when you lose those close ones it hurts. Friday night Ithaca beat the footballers <i-0 and did a pretty good job of beating up the personnel. · A lousy touchdown would have won the St. Francis ,g ame. Last Saturday afternoon Partridge's peerless soccer team nearly had I'I', losing to Elizabethtown 2-1. And then last Tuesday ag-a inst a team that hasn't been ,b eaten in two years, a real soccer powerhouse, Lock Haven, the Colonels played their best soccer in three years, only to lose 3.-0. Oh for the days when they had crystal balls, soggy old tea l.e~ves, shrunken skulls, voodoo powders, charms, magic wands, miracles, ghosts, magic, , sorcery, incantation, spell~, witch's broomsticks and flying carpets to win ballgames. This stuff just doesn't work anymore or Ralston and Partridge would turn yogi. Thump,Thump, ThumPiFlip Jones is a Man of ,D istinction in more ways than one. Many are the soccer coaches that have seen Lord Flipper and wished very much to pull out a carpet 'b ag and swipe him for their side. But Robert W. Partridge will have none of that, as Lord Flipper is very much a great soccer player and very much as essential to the club as Willie .Shaikespeare is to the English business. The way Pugnacious Philip hustles himself around and whams that ball is somewhat. similar to the way_,All Americans behave themselves on a soccer field .. And there's that switching business that every Man of Distinction must do. Ah, there's where Lord Flipper shines. You'll be walkingalong he campus with him, talking-·about this, that, and one thing and. another, when suddenly he'll grab you by the ear and you and hewill .be hiding ·b ehind a tree. "There she comes," he'll whisper and you're supposed to keep out of view. ,This is normal behavior for Lord Fli-pper. In fact, smetimes the Lord does so much switching and does it so rapidly that he himself gets mixed up. But on the soccer field Lord Flipper. In fact, sometimes the Lord does so much switching and does it just sticks t.o that slam-bang punch of his. It's very effective. We haven't seen another center halfback half as good as our own Man of Distinction.

Stetz �4 Friday, October 19, 1951 WILKFS COLLEGE BEACON STANFORD TALKS ON U.S. FOREIGN POLICY .Discussing American foreign policy and its implementation before a Wilkes College assembly yesterday, Neal Stanford, .W ashington correspondent for "The Christian Science !Monitor." told his hearers the United States must either accept its new position as he most powerful nation in the world or give way tG the Soviet Union. . ".Doing nothing," he said, "is a policy that can be quite as disastrous as doing the wrong thing." Acceptance of such an exalted position, the Washington newspaperman warned, force us to -s-peed the rearmament of noncommunist countries·, "Since the United States needs allies in the pr e.s en t world situation," . he argued, "we cannot allow Western Europe, the For East, or the Near East to fall into Soviet hands." on the square THE COLLEGE MAN'S STORE 1Stanford ,explained the burden of rearmament must fall upon this country because it has m o r e "economic fat" on its "body" than have the non-communist countries themselves. Western Europ,e, for instance, is understandably unwilling to ,g ive up its present minlmum standard of living to produce arms. ,Defending the "putting of t.eeth into the North Atlantic Pact," the journalist disclosed the United 1States intends to pour $25,000,000,000 in arms into · Western Europe within thr,ee years. By doing so, he said, we shall ready some 75 divisions of Generel Eisenhower's army lor 8rction. The correspondent described the situation in the Near East as even more difficult, "for we are building on a quagmire there." Th,e strong Turkish army stands ready t o go along with us, however, and we have, therefore, agreed to equip it. The present Egyptian crisis is not so grave as it appears, Stanford assured his audience, "for the Egyptians are not holding good cards in this game. They have ONE-ACTS NEARING PRODUCTION DATE little to bargain with-no army of any recognizable kind, no genuin,e control of the .Suez Canal, and no .Soviet frontier." So it is, he said, that the Pentagon has decided to -~ 1a !~ti~iJg~~a:it~:; one-thanks to atomic ,energy'" We have only to hit on a workable plan for collective security, he said. , by Arthur Hoover The Cue 'n' Curtain invites the faculty and students, their friends and families, to attend the presentation of "Tobaccy Road-With Detours", "Astonished Heart" and "If Women Wol'ked As Men Do."

Owing to our recently acquired ability to "breed" uranium in laboratories, we shall have a practically unlimited supply of unranium -and atomic weapons-within six months or a year, he stated.

This table is for the frequent displays in the library which stimulate intellectual interest. Through the efforts of Joseph Myers, head librarian, and 1Rosemary Turrisini, who works at the main desk, these exhibits are assembled according to a central ·theme. The present exMbit follows the 75th Anniversary theme of the Amerkan Li hr a r y Association, "The Heritage of the U. S. A. in Times of Crisis." It features a copy of the original Bill of Rights and numerous books on American democracy, and is advertised by a colorful •p oster. he ALA chooses its themes annually and follows them with an extensive program in adult education. This year the Ford Foundation considered the theme important enough to award the ALA a sum of $150,000,000 to further its educational .p rogram. Recently, the library staff featured a display on using the library. The next will use Pennsylvania as a theme in keeping with Pennsylvania Week. In addition, . they plan to make exhibits of art in other Ubrary rooms. ORIENTATION PROGRAM DR. STANKO VUJICA keen, overlooks the subtler , more refined and ·more lasting pleasures gained from the cultivation of "art for art's sake" , and misses the mellow, sweet wisdom that comes from ,u nderstanding, a ,broad outlook and matur ity. The recent trend to emphasize 'general education' is t her efore h_ighly gratifying.

CHEER SQUAD MINUS ONE CHEERLEADER <::heerleader Isabel Ecker has joined the ranks of inactive cheerleaders for the r emainder of the semester due to a foot injury she received last summer. To replace the vacancy, the cheerleaders will hold a tryout ' session Tuesday evening, at 7 o'clock in the Biology Building; Any gi r l s, including freshmen, who wish to try out may attend. As the situation stands, the group will journey to Ithaca tonight minus one cheerleader.

With the band, cheerleaders and · student :body going by ,bus and car, Wilkes · should have a good representative cheering section. .Since school opened the cheering squad has been particularly ·active. They opened the Wilkes social season with a Pep Dance in the ,g ym and staged the first student assembly program at the Jewish Community Center.

The group met early this week to di:scuss pl ans for numerous AMNLCOLA acti viities which are among the hig.h lights of the Wilkes sodi•al calendar. W1i1kes w.ill field a team of few veterans and · m.any newcomers with the hoJ)e of evening the score of past encounters. The Colonels have yet to beat the St. Francis scjuad, having dropped two games while tying one contest in 1949. All t hree games of the past were in St. Francis favor because of the aerial attack which the boys from Lor.e tto, Pa., used to dominate the g.a,me. 'l'the western team has never played excepbionally on the g round due to th,e stalwartness of the Wilkes College linemen and exceI!ent 1ine..,backing. As for our own coUeg.e, Coa,ch Ralston never makes predictions. The squad has worked after school hours for several weeks at developing coordination and conditioning. The team looks · •as thoug h it will have a pretty good punch althoug h it does lack a lot of valuable experience. No doubt, the leading player, Wilkes can coun't on, will be Al Nicholas, wlho has gained tremendous recognition throughout the state as a ,s peedy ground-gainer, having piled up one thousand yards iin seven games last season to become the sev,enth backfield man in , the nation . to accomplish this feat for 1950. Eddie Davis will also be counted on for the fullback slot as a runner and passer. The offensive team slated to see a.cti-on for the tilt is as follows: Ends John Stroj,ny and Co~Captain Georg e McMahon, Tackles Ray ·T ait and Fr an k Radaszewski, Guards Dan Pinkowski and Gerte Snee, Center Al Dalton, Wingback Bill Veroski, Fullback Eddie Davris, Blocking Back Georg,e Elias, and Tailback Al Nicholas. ·On defen se, Ends Ed Gritsko and Co-Gaptai·n Al Molosh, Tackles Leo S·olomon and Ed Edgerton, Guards Dick ,Scripp and Dan Pinkowski, and Joe Yanoviotch will alternate in the back:fiield on defens,e ,w ith the offensive backfield who will ass ume the role of double duties on offense and defense. Veroski and· Yianovitch are the only two new~omers who have gained starting berths on the Wilkes squad. Veroski played outstandJing football at Plymouth High S,chool while Yanovitch gained All-Scholastic honors _a s a gridman at Nlantic·oke High School. The outcome of the game will be unpredictable, but the Wilkes have hdgh hopes of coming home with their first victory ov,er he St. Francis "Frankies".

All students who expect to graduate this coming February must see Mr. Morris before 4 o'dock today. By PAUL B. BEERS ·Mr. Partridge and his dearly beloved athletes are back once . again to the manly ort of playing soccer. Tomorrow at 2~00· in Kirby Park the Colonels will tangle with a strong Franklin and 1Marshall team in the opener of the 1951 season. It should be a wing-ding. For two years now, our hooters have been looking for their first victory. It has been quite a sear.::h. 'one tJime last · year, they came close with a 2-2 tie with Lincoln University, but that "first one" always seemed to· elude th.em. When Franklin and Mars.hall won its first soccer game, Partridge could head a corner ki ck. And the Piplomats lhave rbeen playing good socc,er ever since. They had one of the to.p five teams in the state last year. It's a feather in the Colonels' cap that we came close to beating th.em last year in a vf!ry, very hot 4-2 ballgame. 'T his is Wilkes' third year of soccer, ,and no doubt Partridge should field his strongest team. · He sWl has Carl Wallison, Charlie Thomas, Oled Rowlands, 'Paul Beera and Ed Wheatly from his '49 team, and :there are four m en baek from last season.

THE VARSITY LIMP By PAUL B. BEERS It's getting ao that you're not a full-fledged athlete unless you have a limp. The limp Is the "new look" In sports. It's the difference between ftrat string and second. IJ you're anybody at all you have a limp. And so. gentle reader, for wani of a better name we have dubbed this mess "The Varsity Limp", lt seems that every sport here at Wilkes has its one great limper. Though he has passed · ~n to other rackets, Norm Cross was once the football team's pride and Joy in the manly art of limping. Whether It was Norm's wallet rubbing against his leg or a legitimate bruise, the Big Ape staggered through Wilkes for years. But now he Is gone, and Pinky has taken hla place. The wrestling and soccer teama are represented by Roxy Reynolds. Roxy's limp comes from a knee injury, and one Is very touched when he sees Roxy thumpIng hither and thither. The basketball team's limp is of a different sort. It is a team prolect. rou usually see it when the boys are twenty points behind with only fl.ve mlnutu left in the game. It's very professional. The baseball team la prlvllged to have the limp of limps, you might say. It's an arm limp, not a leg limp. On the left side of Chet Molley there hangs arm and It Is , a very limp arm Indeed. One Is considered somewhat rude If at the sight of moanlul Chuter he doesn't inquire as to the well-being of that very limp arm. And so there Is the story of the varsity limp, , and to its honor we dedicate this column. an JUST LIKE A SAILORFor a school that has had an outstanding football history (and you can look It up In the records) Wiikes Is sure full of grunts and groans · concerning the prospects for the coming gridiron season. The Cafeteria Coffee Chuckers. the Lounge Commandoes, and the Dorm Dumblob.ns are pretty gloomy about the whole situation. They just don' t think the Colonels are going to be pushing anybody around this year, and some parties will tell you that Ralston's men are In for some pretty rough treatment. St. Francis, Bloomsburg, Ithaca, Bridgeport, Maryland State, and King's are not powder puffs. These experts base most of their pessimism on the fact that our squad numbers only 30, give or take a few. But take a look at some of those thirty. Al Nicholas was the hottest thing In these here parts last season and there's no reason why he won't be terrific again this year. Eddie Davis should develop Into a college football player. He has a lot on the ball. You can ask King's about Georgy Elias and Al Molash. Strojny, McMahon and Bill Morgan are fine ends. Pinky, Leo Solomon, Frank Radaszewski, Ed Edgerton. Ray Tait and Dick . Scripp are all good linemen. It's true that the Colonels are short In manpower, but they're way ahead in talent. Don't bet against them, because this game of football Is about as predictable as a sailor on leave. A VERY TOUCHING STORY Two years ago a certain Mr. Robert W. Partridge h(!d a tie, a red and blue striped tie to be exact, and from all outward appearances ' it looked like it had been dredged from the Delaware and had been the center of attraction In two or three Rowbottoma. But Mr. Partridge Insisted on wearing It. On the afternoon of September 24, 1949, Mr. Partridge wore his blue and red tie Into the clubhouse of his soccer team. It lust so happens that It was the first soccer team in Wilkes College history. l',h. Partridge was feeling very much In tlae pink until a few parties noticed his tie and made such remarks as: "I wouldn't be caught dead In that." This disturbed Mr. Partridge. For a minute or so he frowned and then at once his face shown up like the miserably hot sun out. side. "Gentlemen", he said magnificently, "when we win our first game I will retire this tie to my trophy case." At that everybody In the clubhouse stood up. ~houted hurrah. and ran out the clubhouse door In a mad desire to meet the foe. Two years have passed since that glorious day. but yet. If you notice carefully, every now and then a certain Mr. Robert W. Partridge makes h1s way Into the Cafeteria wearing a moldy, decrepit red and blue tie. Yes, the ICd story la that that Inspired soccer team has yet to win Its first game. Maybe it will be able to tum the trick this Saturday against F. and M. The old tie CCID't last much loD.ger. be As the runner was half-way between sec-0nd ·a nd first, Vujica was malcing .his fourth bow.

Blue and Gold Seeks First Win Aller Losing Tough Batlle To St. Francis By HANK NOV AK _ Tomorrow ni•g ht at 8 in Kingston Stadium, the Wilkes Colonels usher in fhe first home ,g ame on their 1951 grid schedule when they iplay host to the invading Purple Knights of the University of Bridgeport. The Ralston-men, still smarting from the 12 to 7 defeat handed them last week by St. Francis, will be out to 1break into the winners 'column and' consequently 'hand the Purple and W.H.ite from ,Connecticut their first defeat of the season. .For fubher incentiv~, the Ooloriels can just cal! to mind last yeai·'s fray when Bridgeport ran •r oughshod over the Blu,e ,a nd Gold t o the tune of 25-13. The last time the Knights tasted defeat at the hands of Wilkes was in the first meeting of the two teams, when the .sensational 1949 Colonel aggregation flattened them by a 2113 S'core. Coach Ralston has been wor,king hard with his team in preparation for the third clash between the two elevens. The greater .portion of the Colonels' offensive will again -be cent,ered around those two -s terling backs, Al Nicholas and Eddie Davis. Nicholas, one of the greatest ball ca·r riers ever to wear the Blue and Gold, will be, with the proper support of his team mates, working hard to surpass his 1950 g ridiron achievements One can remember that it was aga·i nst the U. of B. last year tha,t Al played one of his greatest games, and although Wilkes . lost the contest, Al consistently wreak ed havoc on the Purple Knights all evening. Eddie Havis, a Plymouth High AN-Scholastic pr-o duct again will te counted on for some flashy ball toting. Davis, who runs from the fuHback position, made the only touc:hdown against the Frankies last week. The probable offensive team looks somethill'g like this: Ends, J-Olhn Strojny and Co-captain McMahon; tackles, Ray T-a it and Frank Radaszewski; guards, Dan Pinkow:Slk:i and Gene .Snee; center Joe Yanovjtch; wingback Bill Veroski; fuUba·c k Eddie Davis; and tailback Al Nicholas. 1 Beacon Cabarel Parly On The Way; I.

College Men Can Buy ROOTERS BOUNCED 'Inside' Dope On Co-Eds BY F&M 'DIPLOMATS' New Haven, Conn.-(LP.)-Since so many, college men spend both time and money on weekends at women's colleges, a group of Yale ·students have now compil,ed a handbook to help the young ·m an when he dates a college girl. The book ·is called "Going Places'' and is a :guide to 20 Eastern women's colleges. There is a map of eac,h campus, important telephone numbers, details about curfew, as well as a critique of nea:rfby res.tau.rants and nightclubs. lGeorge P.

A:bout 40 college girls from the 20 colleges supplied "inside" facts albout their own campus to aid visiting men. Of th.e 20 colleges outlined, 19 are real schools, the twentieth is mythological. The editors have created 8- non-e:x;istant · woman's college locat,ed on a non-existant hill in New Hampshire.

FROM THE S10.ELINES By BOB SANDERS Opener: fl'he Colonels emerg~ from a losing game with a winning attitude ler their belts after th1i "Frankie" ,g ame· last Saturday night when { dropped one of the toughest games ever encountered by the Blue .i Gold. The main xeason for the loss is not :becau:se the Colon,els ·e outplayed but because of two of the flukiest plays eviEir witnessed any football fan. !How many times in your life have you seen a hack run the ball back 174 yards on a ki~k-off and th.en score on a play or two later? How many times have you seen a punt lb'locked near the end zone in the closing minutes of play? (How many times .have you seen a punt ,blocked, PERJJOD?) The Colonels and their coach are not the ones to gripe about losses beca.us,e of losing to a ·better team. The .p oint remains that St. F'l'ancis didn't have ,anything to talk a,'bout ,except an ability to play hard football. Wilkes earned its touchdown on a sustained 65 yard drive. Tha:t .is real football! Chalk up the Frankie game a~ a ·win and not a loss becaus,e the win for St. FTancis Wl}S only due to the courtship of Lady !Luck. Resuts of the Game: Al Nioholas suffered a broken nose resulting in two beautiful blue ,eyes ....George Elias lost his ma,rbles for a few minutes .. .. Ed Ed,g erton's k:hee swings in both directions .. ..manager Lou Steck finally recovered from a case of jangled nerves. Coming Attractions: ,Saturday night--;Brid'g,e,p ort University! Nicholas will play despite his Saturday injuries and will probalbly be fealJ.'ed bby the opponents. After last year'.s game, the Bridgeport coach gave Al the game football ,wi'th th.e colll/IIlent that he deserved it for the game he played against the New England squad. Bridgeport is looking forward to this game ·because they now st.a nd one and one with Wilkes College on the ,g -ridixon. Last year, th.ey won the game on sn!IIP'Py ,b ootleg plays pulled off lby a back named Longo. This will be one of the games of the year. From the Sidelines : From all corners it seems that th,e Wilkes line is in fairly goocl shape excEffit at the middle positions. •St. Francis scored both of their goals through the Wilkes forward wall plus the facl that they blocked a •p unt throug-h that area. I.f the Colonels can strengthen ~he middle of their defens;e, they should be abble to ta1ke almost all of their o,p ponents; The backfield is the main plug of the attack. Edd,ie Davrs came into the limelight with his TD on Saturday night and with the 814 yards he racked up from the line of scr-immage. Nicholas piled up 144' yards from the center slot. New.com.e r: In the event that Nicholas is pulled out of a game, Wilkes has a replacement who has .a lready won honors as an ·athlete here at Wilkes. Len Ba¢roney showed his '.s kill at basketball aJJ.d !baseball last year. Now, he's out for football working at the tailback position with Nicholas. Batron,ey won honors with Wilkes-'Barre Township as a halfback in tbe Luz.erne County League while in hi-gh school. At last, maybe N•ioholas can rest once in a while. To the Freshmen: .How a!boµt turning out for the game Saturday night? Although you won't ,b e playing, it would sound good to hear a little cheering and team support f.rom the stands. Most of you have never seen a singlewing in operation in football so this is your chance to watch how a hard ~unning outfit operates . .

One unrudely F and M'er was caught elbowing Lefty Kemp in the penalty region. Cent,er halfbaC'k Flip Jones took .t he 12-foot penalty shot and bl,asted it toward a: far corner of :the ,g oal. The ball !bounced of!f the goali,e's knee, Lefty Kemp ibounced into the .g oalie, and amid all the bouncing rookie Jim Hartman ibounced the hall into the ,g oal.

And rig<htly so. A loO'k at the personnel of the football and soccer teams shows everything from colds to ,bust,ed beaks. As of yet no maternity cases have been reported·. . Here',s· a modifi,ed version' of. the medical report for the pa-~t ,,week. Al Nicholas has a broken and two · beautifuil shiners. Joe Yanovitc~, first string center, is cut up some. Co-captain George Mc!Mahon is .out for the season with a little water on the knee. Georgy E.1ias suffered a slight concussion last w,eek against St. Francis and is slowly turning punch, .so saith the reports. Leo Solomon has a very sore sniffer, along with Ray T-a it and Al Wallace. Ed Edgerton has a real varsity Hmp in a stiff leg. End John Strojny has a bad a nkle. Shell-shocked Gritsk'.o has a puffed lip. Dan Pinkowski is still groaning and moaning a:bout his sore back. Dick Scripp has a hurt horseshoe muscle. Al Molash and Frank Rad'asz.ewski finis·h things UiP with colds. Incidentallly, first string end Bill Morgan, the .s mallest man on the squaJ is in perfect health. T.he situation isn~t quite so bad on the soccer team. Flip Jones pulled a leg muscle 41 ·t he F and M game, ,b ut looiks good for this week. Captain '.l'oo-.Long Wallison has a sore foot.

Announced; May tWas Success Day Members Listed AT 2-nd ANNpAL LABOR-~ANAGEMENT FORUM· . May 1st was "success day" for the students and faculties of this country's colleges who worked last Fall for the CRUSADE FOR FREEDOM. For on May 1st a great new radio station was opened in Germany, by Radio Free Europe, to beam straight at Czechoslovakia. The new station is the direct, tangible · result of the CRUSODE FOR FREEPOM. Day by day, it will be on ·t he air, helping to undermine Communist influence. It is an dchievemeht in which college men and women can take special pride. When General Lucius D. Clay last Fall issued his special Message to College and University Students to join the CRUSADE, student and faculty bodies alike were quick to respond. Their enthusiastic support played a vitally important part in making the CRUSADE FOR PREEDOM a success. In the brief space of s,even weeks Last fall, 1-6 million Americans joined the CRUSADE thereby signifying their .r ealization that unless -Communism is energetically countered, it will inevitably destroy freedom everywhere - even in America. The one and one,third mill-ion dollars contributed during the ORIUIS,AJDE was us.ed to build the new 'station. The four transmitter towers · of the station are located in the quiet vi!l-age of Holvkirchen ·i n the foothills of the . Baviarian Alps; the three story studio building i,s in Munich. '.Dhe f.ace of the building bears , a bronze plaque with these words·: "'.Dhiis voi-ce · of freedom made possibl,e by -the contributions of 1.6 million American citizens to the 19-50 -CR!USA'D.E F O R FREEDOM.''

'T he signature for each prog ram will be the ringing peal of the World Freedom Bell. The Student -Council election was held at Chase Hall last week. There were 1many votes c a s t from the -present Freshman and Junior Classes, but the 1S ophomore Cla-ss voting was very low. The members of t he Ta,'bul-ation Committee for the election were Robert Eltus, Julian Goldstein and Lou Bonanni. The :recently elected members to the 1951-52 Student Council are {;eorge Lewis, Henry Meroli, John Murtha, and Joseph Reynolds from the coming Senior Glass; Isabel Eck.er, Donald. Jones, James Reynolds, and Thomas Voytek from the coming Junior CLass; and Wayne .Madden, :Mike Lev,:is, Nancy Hannye, and' Alex Cathro from the coming Sophomore Cla-ss. In September, the incoming Freshman Class will add members from its class to the Council. "Industrial warfare will plague America until leaders of labor and management unde~stand and respect the survival needs of each other," stated moderator John Reilly, economics instructor at Wilkes College, in opening the 2nd Annual Labormanagement Forum last Monday evening in the Wilkes Science Lecture Hall. The topic was "Laber Relations Are Human Relations." ' A. L. Weg,e ner, Director of Labor Relations for the So.rdoni Enterprises, .represented m an a g ement, and Charles Sabol, unio.n representative of the T e x·ti 1 e Workers of ,Am,erica, p,11esenited. ,t he labor viewpoint. Wegener, once .head of the NnternationaI Brotherhood of Electrical Workers union, stated that good relations with all employees is necessary in any plant. "One employee i-s like a cog on a gear," ·said the former representative of E'. C. A. The whole .system d,s disrupted if that one employee is not · satisfied. Employees should be treated with understanding,"' he avowed. ''I like to think of all workers as associate workers, wo.rking with and not for the one in charge," contended !Wegener. He stated that some employees have emotional disturbances when talking to superiors. "'T hat is where 1-abor relathms come in. Every effort .should be made to gain the confidence of the associate worker." Wegener concluded by saying, "I believe that employers' interests are best ,serv,ed by good labor relations." Charles .Sabol stressed the "age old conflict ·b etween the have and have nots'' . . H.e stated ithat the way the pro!blem is solved may well determine the outcome of our country. Toe bi,g companies which boast of• their "pea-c,e" with employees, Sabol contended, maintain that peace by the use ,o f the old Henry Ford spy system, now classed as ,a n intelli-gence system. "-Democracy to me means forces of differences of opinions. As long as an employee hM the right to disagree, there will be friction. We want to help bring about cooperation between the two factions." Sabol went on to blame the capitalists for their "blind refusal to recognize the future a,nd refusal to .permit economic and social progress .. .. I am opposed -to communism, have been and will bf' I am a lib eral and will not wit. draw into a -s hell of conservatiS1 which paralyizes one's actions." The union, .sp,ea:ker hoped the management will be· .successful -~. eliminating the difficulties of the people in the country who are below th,e standards of living, economically and s·o cially. The moderator stated tha,t the "survivial of labor and management is -n ot · p:hy;sioal survival. "That alone isn't what men, are willing to fight and die for in a civiliz.ed community," said Reilly, ''They will f·ig;ht to pr,eserve the familiar: opportunities for reach: ing their -g-oaLs, respect o:f their fellows, economic security, ai,rol and independence, and u-n-crerstanc1ing and integrity .... "I-t is not unreasonable to sug~ gest that the conflict -ca,n be conducted in an atmo.s phere of tual respect without resont to the methods of open and violent warfare."

Asked if being a woman :hindered her -in the study of law the active ,P,a role Board membe; replied to the contrary, stating, "There were very few women stu<lying law at the time. The men were pretty decent about the whole thing. They didn't ask for anything and didn't give anything. They just Jet m e start from scratch and that's the way I wanted -it." Miss O'Hara pointed out that every convict seeking parole is interviewed per.s·o nally by two members of the Board. "'Before 'this" she added, "we receive all p~sible informatjon about him including : a formal statement ~f hi·s crime, the warden'.s report as to his behavior in prison and ,emotional maturit:7', his criminal records, his status m society, his present economic statu s his r easons for seeking parole, an<l if released where he will go and who will 'sponsor him." The veteran lawyer, now in her late sixties explained that 83 per cent of th~ freed convicts do not break parole. Of the remaining 17 percent about 20 per cent are technical violators. Only 5 per cent get into serious trouble. "When returned," she _said, "they _mu.st serve the. rema1!11er of their past -s entence m addition to any new sentence." Miss O'Hara sta~ed th9:t she must n.ever be emotionally mvolved in .a criminal case. Instead, she must have an imper,s onal approach :;imilar to that of a surgeon performing a dangerous operation. · "What we members of the Parole Board salvage in human life," •s he ~d~ed P,hil-osophically, "is very gratif~ng. .

THREE-HOUR ·SESSION AT CAFETERIA; MUCH LEFT UNSAID AND UNACCOMPLISHED ' system on campus, the student constiThe communications tution, repres~ntation in the council, the activities' philosophy, the role of the "class" at Wilkes, and the mystery of the disappearing activities funds in past years were some of the chief topics brought up at a teacher-student dinner last Tuesday evening in the cafeteria. Leaders of all campus groups were invited, as were administration members and advisers to student activities. The three and a half hour dinner-meeting provided an opportunity for many constructiv,e sugg,estions • to be presented about campus p,roblems, but at the same time, left much unsaid and unaccompli-shed. "Glittering gern.eralities" were toss,ed about with abandonment. The topic most discussed and which recurred time and again, was that of the student government, its powers, constitution, and representation. Dr. Hugo Mailey's call f.or a more representative group was met with varied r,eacti:ons. iMr. Alfred Groh felt that c,o n,s truction of a definite philosophy and purpose of activ-ities should come be:fore ·cons1truction of a more effici.ent governing organization. Dr. Eugene ,S. Farley made clear the differences between th,e old and present student constitutions. The old constituti-on called for clu'b ·r epr,esentatiVes to be voting members of the council. The president of the coLleg,e ,h ad v-e to p,ower in the old constitutiim. In th.e present constitution, co,~•s tructed in about 1945-46, the pre'.s i-d.ent has no veto power. N or is any club repr esented on the council, except by chance. It wa,s pointed otrt t hat at one t ime the student council spent $312,000 in one year. It was at a time when the ,earlier cqnstitution was in ,effect. A]tho ug,h it allowed vetoes and more administ!'lation contl"ol, there was more cooperation and closer cont/let between adminis tration and student activities. ' Dr. Farley ,s tated that the college policy fa built upon the 'marks of an .educated· man'. Any activity on campus which follows those marks, •or any -o ne of them, will receive the full sanction and cooperation of the ad,ministration. The statement sprang from t he discussi,o n of th.e Junior - Senior Party at .the American Legion Home which was alleg edly "frowned upon" by the administration. Mr, Ralston settled the i-ssue by ,saying tha_t the party was not so much frown.ed upon as "not. smiled 1 upon". , From thes•e central ideas came many alHed and foreig,n suggestions which went around and around. 'T,h e cycle of discussion repeated itself once o,r twice before any indication that those present realized the discussion was getting nowhere - sl o,w ly. Almost everything on campu.s was touched upon at one point or another. There was even a plug for the Cinderella Ball. The inefficiency of ,t he campus governing bodies was one point gen,erally agreed upon by those present. "There are too many groups," said D,r. Mailey.

PHONE 4-4651 EXT. 19 Member Intercollegiate Press , TRIBUTE Students of Wilkes College had the privilege of h earing Mr. Harold R. Isaacs, noted correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor, speak before t he ·a ssembly on Tuesday morning. The speaker spent nine years studying problems in the Far East. where he viewed Chines.e and 1-~ dian situations at first hand, Mr. Isaacs served as war correspondent for Newsweek magazine d uring World ·W-a,r II and in addition, he wrote several books dealing with Asia. Mr.' Isaacs conf.ii1med -t he fa ct that there is a current cloak of confusion over the world today in matters pertain-i ng to the Far Easter.n Policy, 1-t h overs about the fi gure of General MacArthur and his idea on what to do in A sia; it ·is a controversy wrapped up in the domestic poUtiool situation of our country a nd the military issue of M-ac•Arthur. Mr. I saacs insisted that we must n o.t let th.is controver-s y cover up t he r,eal, und erlying problem in our relation to w ·e stern E'urope. H e said .that we JllUSt not let prejudices and h igh emotions prevent our .s eeing the world situation in reality. He stressed the point that we cannot afford t o let "domestic partisan politics endanger our country or force us to take drastic steps that would prove irreparable." .Mr. Isaacs concurred that the main · 1ssue arose from the Pres.ident's speech, in which he and , his Administration announced their belief that th e war can and shou.ld be limited to Korea; that the U. ,s. can find a way out of -the conflict without reverting to further hostilities or a possible third world war . Friday, April 27, 1951 Theme For United Nationalities Pageant America is the realization ot' a dream of freedom on the part of all men, of every nation. The dream does not · belong to any one peqple, to any' one land; as if is shared, the dream grows and enriches life. People everywhere must continually respond to the principle that the destiny of mankind is determined by what happens to one man; that enslavement of one person, one race, one nation dimi:mishes . freedom for all men; that the dream of freedom is not dn act of law, but an act of faith. The purpose of the pageant is to demonstrate that this nation is a projection of every man's, every nationality's dream; that the songs 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. - ALFRED GROH We like the intellectual beauty that yoH. possess. We UKRAINIAN DANCERS ON PROGRAM admire the bit of truth that you are. We respect you beca:u-se you know what you are and because you try to be what you are.

' ~· On the last page of the program, the Lettermen addressed a message to the students. They thanked all those who had attended and urged attendance of the Cinderella Ball. It is an example of the type of spirit which will break down the "isolationistic" feelings of some organization_s. Chet 'Malley, a member of the Letterman's organization stated, "It's about time that the clubs on this campus begin to work together.".

OF ARTl£LES BY SENIORS Chambersburg, Pa., (I.P.).-The experimental curriculum at Wilson College, which made its bow to general education five years ago, is the subject of a series of articles by senior students who have participated in it for the past three years. The two J:?asic principles of the program include: 1. The freshman year shall ground students in some things a\l need to know; 2. Before choosing the field of conqmtration, and later side by side ,with it, the student shall round out her education by an independent redding program under guidance. · Evaluati-ng the progriam, the sel!l.ior experimental students declare that "most valuable of all, the program does fulfill its purpose of interrelating and SUiPplementing the oou11ses of the regular college pro·giram. Dur.ing -our fresh:man summer,' for example, we read :Some of the great narratives, from -the ancient epics to the- modern ·noveJ.s. During the ·sophomo·r e sum·meT we were introduced through ,owr reading to our fields Off concentration and also to biograp_;hies, essays, letters and other books refleeting the American lif,e and ·heritage. "The junior summer reading is devoted to abstract thought and incl,udes not only philos,o phic treatises but a1so great novels and poems of philosophic content. Tlhe ,s enior reading cours·e, the culmination of the p rogram, serves to supplement the coll ege study. The senior reading program is comipen0 satory and gives an opportunity for an introduction to course.s which the student has been unable to take. "11he summer reading l>ridg,es a gap between one academic year and the next, providing us with worthwhile reading for the summer mo,n ths and the priomise of stimulating conferences with faculty members and other students on our return to school. "These conferences .h ave b.een one of the, mo.st welcome feature·s of the pirogram: they . have giw.m us ,a .chance to discuss our reading with the faculty in a very informal manner and have, in some instances, noticeably aided the mutual understanding and respect of faculty and students. The conferences further maike the work well worthwhi"le as th · t t th ey in egra e e material with past courses and fut ure study." Navy Lists New Enlist~ent Pla11s .

Runners-up· in the , contest, which saw 25 Wilkes coeds competing for the title of Campus Queen, were: top left, ·Lois Shaw; top right, Jane Carpenter; bottom left, Phyllis Bogushefski; bottom center, Joan Likewise ; bottom right. Joan Yanakas. The 25 contestants who competed were selected by the .student body in a three-week campaign •under direction of the y~arbook staff. Miss Travis has been a student at Wilkes College since 1947. Her previous education was obtained at Wyoming Seminary, Penn State summer school, and 1 Sntith College, Massachusetts. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. : Reed Pelto':1 Travis, of Kingston. Conover judged the contests on the basis of photographs sent to him by John Guerra, editor of the yearbook. In his reply to Guerra, Conover said he· found the selection of. the Campus Queen difficult in view of the keen competition. "However", Conover wrote, "the pictures of the 25 coeds were judged by the process of elimination. Miss Travis and the five runners-up were chosen for their wartnth, personality, and for a natural. outdoor look rather than for glamor and sophistication." Conover discovered many magazine cover girls, including Choo Choo Johnson, Dusty Anderson, 1 Penny Edwards, Chili Williams, Jinx Falkenburg and Candy Jones. his wife and a native of Wilkes-Barre. ferment upon applying for enlistment i11 the Navy must .show that he has had :his orpers for indyc,tion canc•elled.

Alter diligently , perusing the Farmers' Almanac they decided to hold ii on Sunday, April 15, 1951. It was a typical almanac prediction: "Fair and Warm." And it was! Thal is i1 you want to overlook the fact that the morning was as frosty as any in February, that the wild wind blew as in March and that even s~me snow fell as in January. The stall met at various and sundry spots and proceeded at various and sundry hours to the appointe1 camp equipped to the hilt with cameras, axes, funny papers, search-lights and a .405 Winchester, H & H Magnum caliber gun -but no sugar, ' . No one was hungry on their way up. We all vowed we had a heavy lunch and were lull up to here. But once there we began to immediately forage for food, Gloria Chiloro, chairman and thoughtful hostess, displayed her culinary skill by splitting hot dogs, filling them with cheese, wrapping them in bacon, sticking them with ·toothpicks and cremating them over the open lire-place. The only co~plaint in the process of wolfing was: "This dog had bones", by people who had forgotten to remove the toothpicks. After everyone had satisfied the inner man we split · into three groups and set out in di~erent dn;ections . . . not to hunt for the buried wealth of long-dead p~ates, but to "lay up treasures in memories where neither the rust nor · the moth doth consume." .

Refreshingly enough neither the President nor the Genaro:] came along. No ·one was psycho-analyzed, we did not look for motives and only occasionally did we stop to think about split infinitives when we remembered the presence of Mr. Foxlow, who puffed contendedly on his bowl. All along the stream, silent and hopeful men , were fishing for trout. Mr. Myers, head librarian at Wilkes College, remarked that the reason the men couldn't catch any fish was that the government sent out postal cards to all the fish stating that the hunting season ended as of Saturday and from Sunday on the fish were on their own. Wade Hayhurst and Vester Vercoe tried to catch the fish by hurling huge ro cks -into the water in imitation of the Greek Discus throwers. The fish, at a safe distance, flipped their fins and murmurred: "A couple ol throwbacks from the Cenozoic Era," · Midway we rested on a moss covered ledg~ above the roaring river. In no time at all we had two water accidents. Topsy, Mr. Myers' wi~e-haired terrier, fell in headlong into th~ turbulent stream while attempting to lap up some water . . .There was a surprised and reproachful look in the canine's eyes as she crawled out and promptly proceeded to shake off the icy water indifferent to the feminine shrieks that pierced the air. Amid all this confusion Romayne Grornelski fell into the water. But what shall mystify everyone to their dying day was · why Gloria rnurrnurred: " Thank God! " at this unfortunate incident. We were anxious to get back to the cabin, but it wasn't until we observed M1, Myers, our gide, flipping a coin at a fork in a road that our worst fears were realized. The more realistic members of the party began picking red berries andstoring them like mad in every available pocket.

Tho word slowly leaked out that the 1951 version of the Wilkes baseball •=m Is loaded. Three freshman candidates w(!re staging a knock-down, dragoul battle for two infield positions. When the smoke cleared away last week. Len Batrol}ey had taken complete possession of 2nd base, and Davis and Trosko wero still fighting for the 3rd base spot. Coach Partridge has stated that the club looks strong down the middle. He added, " Big league coaches say that ,a team with ·a strong 2nd-short combination and a good centerfielder can take a pennant." Coach Partridge certainly has the second-short combin~tion in Al Mblash and Len Batroney. Molash was the mainstay of the 1950 club, and Len B~troney had created a small · sensation with his defepsive play around second base. Don Blackenbush, filled out the "strong center", He has performed on three Wilkes baseball teams and has acquired an enviable reputation as ·a fielder and hitter. The rest of the team looks good. At · third base, Partridge had ct difficult choice. Both Davis and Trosko were good, but both needed experience. First base has been a problem for three years, and this year Is no ex" ception. Bob Hall Is the only man with experience, but the position Jacked hitting strength when Hali played . it. In bhe , outfield the situation seems rosy. Manarslci has. one year of experience and he seems refdy.' Gavlick and Trosko could play the outfield. and Kropinickl alternated as catcher and outfielder last season. Behind the plate is Deschak, who has play ed a great .deal of baseball In a lot of different leagues, Kroplnlcki, of course, did a terillic job behind the plate In ' 50. but he might be need~d in the outfield. The pitching is the same as 1950. but John Milliman has been added. Coach Partridge stated. "I caught Zigmund last week and he seems ready to go; Milliman is also in good shape. Molley isn' t quite ready yet. Right now he could probably go about ' four or live innings. I'm hoping he rounds Into shape soon." The only worry Coach Partridge has in the pitching department is the lack of left-handed pitching. After he got past Chet Molley he found only one pitcher who t-.w from the port side. Joe Sikora throws from the port side. but• he needs a g;eat deal of experience. When you look at the team as a unit. it looks as if it might win _its, share of games, Dormitory Quickies ·. NOTICE!

At the meeting this committee, which has been created to give the students a greater voice in the selection of speakers, entert ainment and so forth for next year's assemblies, discussed plans for greater stu- dent participation in these programs, It was decided that, pending the coming meeting of the inter-club council (this is a reference to yesterday's meeting) a .t which time the prexys of the various campus clubs would be que ried concerning 1he ability of their organizations to handle programs, members of the <committee shou ld, in the meantime, gather ideas from the student b~dy itself for an increased number of s tudent ass emblies in the 1951-52 school year. It is believed that the creation of this Student Assembly Committee will serve two prime function,: (l) to give ~he student body an opportunity to make felt its 1 desires concerning the selection of programs, thereby increasing ,student enjoymenl of these p rograms, a'nd (2 ) to pave lh!! way for a broadening of student participation in assemblies which also tend to raise student enthusiasm for these required assemblies. Classes, clubs, or even groups of students are to be encouraged to put on programs. The committee wants to have completed at least general tentative plans for next year's program by the e nd of this s emester. All proposed _assemblie s w ill have to b e cleared by th e committee. Anyone who desires fur\her information or 'who has an idea for a program should contact Mr. Partridge or any memb e r of the committee.
