St.. �' Wednesday, March 28, 1951 WILXFS COLLEGE BEACON FASHION SHOW MODELS .., INTERVIEW, SENSE By WENDELL CLARK You closed the door behin,:1. you and walked down the hall, frowning _a little, wondering ,why you didn't get the job. It was an Important job. and you ~ew that you were qualified to hold It. You asked yourselL what went wrong? You, and others like you, who fall to pass the test of the Interview, should know something about lhe odds you are up against. Anythlzig can go wrong during an interview. An interview goes sour as easily as a bottle of yesterday's milk. Even a limp handshake may spoil an oth4;1rwls1{ fav,orable Interview. Before you come face to face w·i th the man who may, or many not, give you a lob, look at yourself · through his eyes. What does he look for during an interview? Tho interviewer's basic p11-rpose Is to pass judgement on you as an lndlvldiual. He Is interested not only In your knowledge and J1kill, but also In your personality and behavior. It Is understood that you must be able to do the work, put, equ_ally Important, you must be able to get along with people. The interviewer forms his opinion of you from _your manners, your personal appearance, your attitude, and your ability to answer questions. His opinion Is the' result of many small Impressions which you make, and which, with a little forethought, you can control. For example, if you· dramatize or exaggerate' your accomplishments, the interviewer Is likely to wonder wlhy such a highly-talented 'person Is out of a job. Remember, your Interviewer is a business man who is good at spotting bluffs: he has been bluffing his own way fc:lr years. There are a number of common-sense principles to be observed in the interview-. You should be prompt In keeping your appointment, and, when you arrive, try not to look like a grade school boy entering the principal's office. ~et the interviewer offer· to shake hands with yo.u , and let him .lead {n asking questions. Look at \he interviewer, but avoid staring like a dead haddock. Sit still Don't be a body-twister, a knuckle-cracker, a chair-tapper, an ear-puller, or an Adamsapple-adjuster. ' Be careful of your personal appearance. Sports jackets and T-shirts are no more appropriate for an Interview than a deep-sea helmet and rubber suit. And, in business circles, the hat Is still regarded q!I a mark of maturity. Wear a conservative tie. Loud ties have a hypnotic effect on some Interviewer,, and you want to be the center of attention, not your tie. The Interviewer is interested in what you say, when you say It, and how you say It. Don't mumble, unless you have a ·few radical Ideas to express. Honesty is an admirC\ble quality, but that d~esn't mean you must tell everything you know. The m~n who says spiteful things about his last employer paints as clear a picture of himself a~ the man who says his wile doesn't understand him. Ask a few thoughtful questions of your own/ but don't interrupt. If you d(!mlnato the conversation, you wlll talk yourself right out of \he door. Following thl) Interviewer's lead, portray yourself, as ct- person, by giving pertinent details about y.o ur work experience, education, leisure activities, and relations with family, frinds, and neighbors. Finally, have a g'oal or am_b ltlon which you can effectively put into words. ., The interview Is the critical point in your search for a lob. If you appreciate Its Importance and observe ·Its principles, y~u may walk out of the next office with a satisfied smile on your face and a note In your pocket telling you when to report to work. Ma)ce a good impression: your job may depend on It. Left to right, first row : Connie Olshefski, Diane Llewe•llyn, • May Woy, Jane Carpente;, leanne .. S~ith, Ann Azdt:: back row, Lucille Reese.

A new set of cig_a rette holders and trays will be furnished and therefore there will be no excuse for any new burns on the tab1e. This is your school, your lounge, and your home while you are in it.

SOMETHING NEW HAS BEEN ADDED: QUALITY POINTS FOR EXTRA-CURRICULAR READING Coral Gables, Fla. (I. P.)-Students at the Univ~rsity of Miami are now able to earn quality points for extra-curricular reading. The ' new voluntary readi~g plan encourages Liberal Arts stu~ents to re~d° outside their major and mirlor fields of study. According to the plan, one-third, two-thirds, or a full quality point will be awarded for each book read. Length, ,complexity, and importance of the selected material will b,e important factors in granting point credit. Dean Charles Doren Tharp ha,s requested each department ihead to compile a list of books to be made available to students. The , hook,s, . charted in order -o f ."toughness'', will stress general, informative material. A student will ,se,e the department faculty for information on books included . in the reading list for that department. The reader will later return to discuss the book :briefly and report verbally on his findings. According to Dean Tharp, "the faculty member will ask pertinent, general questions related to the book,'' and ask no fin~, interpretive evaluations qr · a report. The , faculty questioner will fin- ally forward his recommendation for quality points earned to the office of the dean. Every quality po.int earned will he recorded at. the registrar's office as soon · a,s part credits total one quality point.

V ..D. Island-sway down in the W,e st Undies. The operatic aria hig,hligh ting t hi s unusual bit of film fare begins with one of the most tensely dramatic scenes ever ,p resented in· a foreign production. The passion-ate, Academy - ,Award - winning surge of violent emotions begins: as Crapdangle, the villain, in a sweat of terrified f.reniz.y, aims a huge cannon at Pimento, the fair damsel, and screams in thunderous rage: "Why does a storlc stand on one foot?'' To which the dis~essed girl replies haughtily, "If he lifted the ,o ther one, he'd fall down!" The cast of thousands ( of im~ migrants) includes -~uoh notables as Clark Grable, Loretta Zilch, Carlsbad Kosher, Roschino Budapest, and Mami.e Moscow.

The screen play was adapted from the Broadway stage sensa- , Hons "How Green Was My Valet" and "A Flee Grows In Brooklyn". The brilliant thespian whose acting highlights this stirring saga has become ,on,e of the most talked about people in Hollywood. At the present time, five studios are fighting over him. The loser gets h im. A cultured j,ournalist in his ow n right, Quivna:ggle has written a number of America's most outstanding historical essays .

Candy Jones, wif.e of the famous model director, wrote Editor Gu,erra, ".Please tell your contestants that it isn't necessary to submit bathing suit photos since Mr. Con·o ver, when judging ,beauty through photographs, looks for warmth and personality in th,e smile-a natural, outdoor, well-scrubbed look and an intelligent sparkle in the eyes rather than glamour and s·o phistication."

Ove, coffee cups in the eafeteria float these unanswered queries. Through the hollow halls of Conyngham they echo. The whole campus resounds. It . had been one of the plans of the senir class that no one should I-earn the ,a nswers to these , questions until the ni>g'iht of the Spectade. Pressure upon the seruiors became terrific, though. And finally, when a few of the senior cl:a ss m/ember,s were threatened with physica:l violence, it was solemnly decided that for everyone's best interests, the players' identities slhould be divulged. •P erhaps it should be mentioned, fir.st, that at the officials' table, in the capacities of timer and score'k,e eper, will :be f-ound Welton .Fa:rrar ,and Don Follmer, two faculty gentlemen, it is a pleasure to remark, of. unquestionable honesty.

The conference will be open to all students of Wilkes and to high school seniors from 30 different schools; in fact, anyone interested may attend the lectures and discussions. · Prominent men in ,business and industry from all over the northeastern United States will be on hand to discuss the employment situations in all fields.

GAME THE OWL WITHOUT AVOWEL TO BE GOING FOR NEW NATIONAL SCORING RECORD Tomorrow night should find the Wilkes Gym packed to the locker. rooms as the Colonels play host to the Temple University Owls in the next to •t he last basketball game for the Colonels this year. The Owls are top-heavy favorites. Consequently, the game does not havt=i the drawing appeal of a Wilkes-King's struggle. However, local basketball fans from far and near will be drawn to see the highest scorer of the nation, Bill Mlkvy. The Wilkes Basketeers' season .h as ,b een mediocre in .. the record book. But the te-am has been able to come up with some atomic perf.ormances which unnerved even the experts. If the Co.l onels are key,e d to the. right pitch the game may bear the earmarks. of a clas,s ic struggle. •T,e mple's record, too, is mediocre. They have been going along with a ,50_5,o rec•o rd most of the ,s eason. It is something: of an unuS'Ual situation since the r ecords show that Mlkvy, the "Owl without a vowel'', is scoring at the rate of nearly 30 points per game. Bill Mlkvy, 6 feet, 4inches, 190pounds, has already ibroken five records. These include: (1) Fouls scored in one season, (2) Total points in one seas,on, (3) Field goals in one · season, (4) Points 1 in a ,s ingle Conventfon Hall game, and (5) Field goals in a single Convention Hall game. Mlkvy, currently the scoring leader of the nation and also second in rebounds and assists, has a 27.1 average for 23 games and if he does a scoring jib of 2ll poinits or better on Saturday night he will have registered a new national record for per game scoring. The mark of 26.8 is held by Ernie Galverly, formerly of Rhode Island State. A junior in th School of Dentistry, Mlkvy crossed the 1,000:point mark last Saturday night when he netted 27 points.

In Mobile, Alabama, last week, a 15 year old school boy was tarred and beaten with leather straps by members of a high school fraternity during initiation ceremonies. Following that session he was forced to hang onto a fender of a speeding car while his "fraternity brothers" whooped and hollared and had a grand time. Many readers must have skimmed over that small newsstory with a simple "Oh, my" or "Tsk, tsk." How many persons, we wonder, really caught the significance of that item. We cannot merely cast it off as a case of adolescent immaturity. We must realize that one of the high schools in our educational system was involved, a school supposedly turning out the future "thinking" citizens of the U. S. We are forced to ask the questions; What is a fraternity organization doing in a high school? What. type of supervision does that fraternity have? or any organization in that school? How many schools are there which lack proper supervision and concern for activities, much less the school program itself? How many high schools are taking in immature adolescents and turning out immature adults? · Each of us, in his own little way, can aid the situation. We will be the guiding forces of the U. S. in the future. Let's see to it that the high schools our children attend will be safe . . . physically and mentally safe. TOM ROBBINS Editor-!n-Chie!

He must be capable of f,eeling the samt emo- . tions which run through the plot. In this, Lee said, there is an almost endless variety. Ethic values are paramount in a book's worth . The writer is a teacher. He brings to the fore " new beauties and old truths". The fifth matter which the reviewer scrutin~zes is memorable characteri-zatio·n. "Books," he said, "are longest remembered by their characters. Most of us can instantly visualize Jean Valjean in 'Les' Miserables' and Charles Dickens's 'Martin Chuzzlewit'. Through such recoUections, th,e reader can usually supply a syno,p sis of the novel." The last feature is · substance. Substance sums up tlhe total worth of reading, for it ,c arries a "cargo for the spirit." The art of reading, Lee stated, .r equires time and energy. He said most people who rlaim they have no time for reading could spend a half hour daily. Even a slow reader, he said, could go through . at least 2:5 hooks a year. There are only a do7len or so worthy !b ooks published yearly in each · reader's particular field of interest, Lee said. Thus it is pos,sible for 1h im to read these, plus several others which he has miss,ed in the ,p ast. · Lee supplied the foHowing · figures on the pulblieation of 'books. 1Since the inv,ention of printing some 18,000,000 tities have been issued in the world. Six million of bhese in the last 50 years. Every day in tJhe United States about 30 titles are published. The art of reading, Le.e said, consists of the .p ro.p er atmosphere, the individua:l's capacities and comfort. Albout atm'Osphere he said reading is best ,enjoyed in homes where there are many books available. The lack of books among American families is quite g eneral. In fact, on occasions when a member of the family ,b ring a hook home for reading, it is preempted by the others of the family. "The s1olution," Le,e claimed, "is to hav,e at ],east two good book!s or one good hiding place." .According !Jo survey made by P rinceton, ,books occ.upy a very small place in the averag<l American budget, less than one-onehundreth of ·o ne per cent. -Magazines, movies, radio, candy and tobacc.o rank far ahov,e.

Students are also asked to report directly to the gym, promptly, on the hour. Each lesson lasts 50 minutes, so they will be started promptly on the hour. All other students, as well as faculty members, are invited and even urged to attend any or all of the classes. Each lesson can be taken ~eparately. The schedule, as set up for the week of March 12, will cover 2·3 lessons. First aid instru,ction will be given in this manner once each month, so that by June it will be possible for all students to have been exposed to about eight lessons. These lessons will not, in c;dl probability, have been in consecutive order, but as previously mentioned that will in no wcry detract from the value of the program. . , It will be necessary for all participatjng students and faculty members to bring: with him a piece of cl~th (preferably of muslin) 40 inches square, and a note book.

Crider Editor-in--Chief The Boston Herald and Traveler 1SENIOR SPECTACLE SNOWBALLING At last week's writing it was intended that the Senior Spectacle would be a single basketball game between the faculty men (the Fearsome Faculty Flashes) and a thousand pounds of senior men (the Hilarious Half-tonners). But the faculty wives have got-ten so worked up over the idea that now they want to play too. The accommodating senior class, therefore, has arranged to match the wives (the Fanciful Faculty Flames) against an unspecified tonnage of senior girls (the Frivolous "51" Flirts). The Senior Spectacle has -thus snowballed into major proportions. I And what began as a game "just for -the fun of it" is now assuming a different light. With the faculty team gradually looking more and more ,formidable, the seniors are beginning to question the prudence of the "half-ton handicap" which, with sweeping benevolence, and nonchalance, -they granted the faculty. It has even been runmored that they tried-<md failedto disqualify "Tiny" Halpin of th~ Chemistry Department on the grounds that seven-footers were not allowed to play in nonprofessional games.

C. N. Y. te.a m came from the ranks of the country's major basketball teams and succeeded in winning both the N. C. A. A. and the N. I. 'I'. basketball championships. This feat had neve:t: been accomplished before; and the sports writers of the country were high in their praise of three sophomore members of. the C. C. N. Y. team, Roman, Roth and Warner. ' Great things were expected of these three young men and the sports world was disappointed· when, in 1951, ,the team seemed unable to win consistently. . Last week, Roman, Roth and W emer were , arrested on .the charge that they had accepted bribes to throw certain games on their schedule. Three young men had succeeded in discrediting the sport, and had placed their names among, the infamous group of men who are willing to sell their honor for a shoebox full of money. The blame for their actions has been traced to diffeI'errt sources. Many authorities trace the incident to the fact .t hat C. C . N. Y. plays its games at Madison Square Garden. As a result, the players are more apt to fall under the influence of the city "slickers". In part this ex'planation is true, but, participation in sports at the "Garden" is merely one of the factors. The basic cause for a scandal of this sort is the fact that some American colleges seem to have gone out of the ·e ducation business and into the sports promotion business. When basketball players find that their efforts are part of a huge commercial enterprise, there is a tendency to seek commensurate remuneration. When a man is faced with sight of a school which exuloits him, and presents him to huge paying audiences, it is not unlikely that he will wish to share in the financial advantages which accrue from his athletic ability. Luckily, we at Wilkes are not faced with this problem . .The athletic policy of the school has as its core, student participation in sports merely for the entertainment of the student body and for the mental and physical betterment of the athletes who' participate in t!J.e spqrt. Expenses, in most cases, outrun profits, and for the most part, put back into the athletic program for the benefit of the students. Our athletes are not paid, and as a result, are not faced with the incongruous sight of an unethical teacher preaching honor and ethics. We may not produce athletes like Roth, Roman and Werner, and the basketball which accpmpanies such athletes. We. do, however, preduce men like Benson, Davis, Batroney, Petrilak, and Bator who know the meaning of honor and sportsmanship. As this was being written Sherman White, last year's basketball player of the year was accused of accepting a bribe. This incident seems to add another act to a tragic situation, which may destroy the sport. However, we believe that in the final analysis, the colleges which do not subsidize athletics will be the colleges which will keep the sport alive. JAMES TINSLEY .

B E E R S - - - - - - - - - Right now the biggest piece of news down in Partirdge's Playpen Is that · re◄•hot wrestling team of ours. It is the general opinion that the wrestling •team had had to bow once too often. From now on it ,will be the groaners on ,.,p, . In fact. outside of Dr. Kruger's splendid debating society and the razzle• dazzle baseball club of last spring, the wrestling team is the only competing or• ganization above the live-hundred mark. But the grunt and groaners have not been given a square break by any• body. When the season opened, the boys found that the wrestling room on the second floor oi the Gym was absolutely too small. They were forced to move downstairs and huddle up against a wall wf-h green lines all over It to avoid being runover by crazy basketball players. The union would never ' approve of ~uch working ·conditions. The top.off came when the boys went out and beat ,some ml ghty big schools like ~Jarthmore, Lafayette an<i, ;f:ast Stroudsburg, not mentioning dear old Wyoming Sem, and never even got as much as a howdy.do in certain sch,ool publications. This hurts. And we will assure you that it will never happen again. Meanwhile the 'basketball team had been rolling merrily along, winning one and losing lour and then winning one again and repeating tho process, and receiving gobs of publicity. The hoopsters even drew better crowds. The wrestlers' bee! w~s a justified one. From now on we'll be a little bit laire.r. Coach Jim Laggan and Captain Zip Cromack have made ~e wrestlers one of the State's best, and there are very few schools our size 7,fho could beat us, by a lot ol hard work. Under Laggan's steady hand a numb~r of the boys have improved a hundred fold; Cromack is the hustler. He' s the buy who keeps everyb.odtt- 'on their toes every minute, allowing for a brief pause every now and then for the boys· to criticize the basketball t am. Zipper Is one of the few athletes around this scj:,.ool w ho honestly trys to keep in tip•lop condition. His record of 5 wins, lour of them pins, and only 2 defeats, both of which were lost by one point, ·bears this out. It's the inside story of the Colonels' five wins that makes them the top team In tho school. George Dvorszniak and Phil Husband were both pretty good wrestler~ last season. This year they dug in and sweated it out. Both boys have contributed five win~ for the' Colonels. Joe Stephens came up with a bad shoulder injury early in the season. Fighting his shoulder, a wicked course of Frenc:ih 103, and some .mean opponents. Joe kept hustling.' He' s added 'lour vie• tories to the Colonels' cause. Heavyweight Bob Javor has come ·a long way in !lhaping up as one of the best heavyweights in ·these•here parts. His lour wins certainly put him in the running for the Rookie of the Year at Wilkes, Eddie Davis '.being his only close competitor. Both Joe Reynolds and ,Stan Schlosser were fill.ins for injured me~. Though inexperienced, Joe and Stan the Man have done : a commendable job and they deserve a harty pat on the back. All of Mouse McMahon's blood, sweat, and tears paid.off galore. Though it's still too early to say, Mouse·s excellent wrestling and his ability lo haul in forward passes on the football team rates him a better•than•even chance to cop this year's " Athlete of the Year" award. One always does well to notice things as they happen. So stands the wrestling team. Tomorrow afternoon they finish their season wilh the annual tussle with King's. 'Null said. Tho only pleasant news on the basketball side of the ledger is the lour•man race for top scoring honors on the Wilkes' team. Right now Bobby Benson is leading the pack by a very slender margin. Parker Petrilak. Eddie Davis or Len Batroney might catch him. As for winning ball games, well, we beat King's didn't we?

(I.P.)-The University of Massachusetts recently completed a full scale "Anti-Flunk ,Campaign", according to a report by Robert S. Hopkins, Jr., dean of men. The legend goes: freshmen who dwadle while the leaves fall in October are seldom on campu s to view the buds of spring. One reason: too much time devoted to "bull sessions". A second reason: midyear exams weed out scholastic lightiweights. Believing that many students who flunk out of college are lost because of poor study habits rather than lack of brainpower, Dean Hopkins ~eized the deadly "bull session" and turned it to good use. Eight weekly "bull sessions" on "How to Study" were held in freshman dormitories. Capacity crowds attended, according to Dean Hopkins. Students learned how .to take notes, how to budget time, how to •improve reading efficiency and how to plan for exams. , ATTENTION!

T.he U.S. is unable •to strike at its aggressors, since it ,i s difficult fo prove that the Reds are behind the Chinese and North Korean Communists. Ca.p tain Fielding reminded -s tudents that Korea i,s only a tiny f.adet of the g,en,eral p·rolbJem,; yet, iby permitting ourselves to become weak, our forces have fought and fai,led there. We cannot win over communism by defeating Korea, alone; we must control the entire ,S. E. Asia. The mag.nitude of thi-s task has resulted in hysteria and panic in W·a shington, and the ridiculous sug,gestion of dropping the Bomb or aibandoning Korea completely. There are three .final steps. necessary to win a war through orthodox military means: invasion of the enemy ihomeland, des-truc,t ion of the resistance, and occupation. Fielding insisted that we can not fight in a war with machines only, that it takes men! A great number of men would be needed to defeat Russia's large land mass. In the words of the late Teddy Roosevelt, "we should · talk softly but carry a .b.ig stick,'' (our military strength) . .So far, the U.S. has ,been .behaving in •a n opposite manner. Therefore, to defeat th.e basic design of the soviet plan, we must defeat the military and ideological aspects. We can do this by re-establi,shing the balance of power in the strategic positions of western Europe; we must build up the "local" fighting power in these ar.eas. With this done, any potential a,g,gr'.es:S<or wiowld ibe threatened :by immediate conquest. I,n dealing with the ideological aspect, we must substitute another idal :which i,s better than communism and prove that it is better. In this case, the ideal of democracy would !be -stress-ed. One approach would be by alleviating •t he hunger problems of the aisatic peoples. "A man absor.bs his political view not through his intellect ,but through hi ,st.pm-ach." We would have to ameliorate the prevailing econ om i c instbility. Thi,s wO'Uld entail millions of dollars and more effort than is ap~ parent. Captain Fielding concluded his speech· on an optimistic note. He said, "We Americans can still lead the world through a long period of peace without slllbmitting to appeasement and without a suicidal World War .

WITH PAY NOTICE TO SENIORS! NOTICE! There is a'n urgent appeal for blood emanating from the Wyoming Valley Blood Bank. It has been announced that Wilkes College Day at the Blood Bank, is Friday, January 19, 1951 between 12 noon and 6 p.m. Blood banks throughou& the country are depleting their reserve of blood and blood plasma· to the Armed Forces. The international situation indicates that this drain will continue. Even though the Armed Forces continue to need blood, civilian demands have not diminished. This, of course, threatens the ' health and well-being of the entire nation. One of the finest gestures ypu, as a i:itudent of Wilkes, and citizen of the United States can make, is to donate a pint of your blood to the Wyoming Valley Blood Bank, South Franklin Street on Friday, January 19, between the hours of 12 and 6. ·Pledge cards can be obtained through class presidents or at the Physical Education office in the gymnasium. The blood YOU give might save YOUR life. TO PLAY FOR ~ABARET PARTY TpNIGHT songs, comedy and surprises.

T,h is group can never be forgotten (unfortunately) for its s,t irring interpretations of "Battleground" and "Rip Van Winkle'', pres·e nted in pa_st ca:baret affairs. General chairman Hill Kashatus has done a commendable job in arranging tonight,'_l:1 event, on,e of the :higgest ,ever sp-o nsored ·,by the college.

It is really a shame that some college students . have the mentality of two-year-olds, but suth is the case with certain students on the Wilkes campus. Did you hear the latest? Now they have added a new twist to the old story of stealing books from the liibrary. The latest black deeds are the, heights (or depths) in uncivilized actions. Just this week it wa~ brought to our a}tention that students have been tearing pages from Encyclopedias and biographies-keeping them for future references, no doubt. , What can be done to stop these atrocities upon civilization and the Wilkes College Library? Very little can be done. Any action will have . \o be done by students themselves. Respect for the rights and properties of others is a law which is difficult 1o enforce, particularly in our library where there is no strict supervision"of the handling of books. It would not surprise us to learn that ,this editorial did little good, for very likely those who committed the infantile acts cannot read anyway. Neverthless, we appeal to those of you who can read to be on the lookout for some neuroti't: individuals, disguised in colleg_e clothing, who are suffering from mental quirks. If you spot them making with books like the Johnson office makes with pictur_e s, don't feel the least bit squeamish about d,ra,gging them .to the authorities. •••••••••••••••••• The answer from Syracuse to "what means diplomatic . phraseology?"

Not only did they take a page out of the mighty Baro,n s l>ook; , but they silentlly ·a ppropriated the en ti r e j•o urnal. They scored 101 points while d,efeating Harpur 101 to 73. Everyone from P etrilak to Bator g,o t into the routine. The Harpu.r quintet had been advertised as a better than average team, whic,h had gone to the semi-fin,a ls in a tournament in whi ch Wilkes had failed to place. By all the systems of comparative analysis, the Colon.els were scheduled to sing 'another chorus I of the "Locker R o·o m Blq,e s". However, ye olde Wilkes .quintet seemed to have forgotten the melody. They jumped to an early lead, ,a nd literally ran away from the Harpurians in the s,econd half. Oharlie, alias "Parker" Petri~ ilak led the scorers with 24 points. · Bens,on, Zigmund, and Batr<;mey had 116, 15, and 14 points respectively.

What more can on.e say. The developm'ent of 'Park~r Petrilak as a scoring threat may herald a new, more rounded team . In th,e p,a st, the team suffered from la clk ,o f r ebounding strength when "Big Pa'rk'' sat on the bench, and ,they 1mffered from a lack of inside ,scoring .p,ower when he . played.

Intramural Basketball League, preserving their undefeated record. The Gophers' most serious threat comes from Moody's Mumblers, 'a club that has won three, games also, but a club that still must prove itself to be in the Gophers' class. The only other undefeated, untied team in either league with a dark-horse chance is tJhe Soph Engineers, led by their high-scorin g ace Joe Weng·y n. Good sec&nd-place teams are the Hotshots and the Missing Links, both having a 2-0 .record. The surprise of the league so far has been the poor showing of the Lemon Drops. This club was rated as a top contender at the b ~ginning of the season, but they have yet to win .a ballgame, dropping three in the attempt. Peeps Garbor and his boys aren't c licking, though there is too much talent on the team to remain in last pface. The Bar Rags have made a nice showing despite its 1-1 record. ,Under the leadership of big .A.lex Molash and George Elias the Rags have turned out to be the foulingest team in the league if not the best. Right now it's a toss-up for individual scoring honors between Jumpin' Joe Wengyn of the S9ph ·Engineers, Jimmy Richardson of the , Missing Links, and that undefeated rassler, George Dvorzniak of the Soph Engineers. All three boys are close in the race, though Wengyri's 20-point' . game average puts him ahead. .' fhe battle will probably last until the final gong. *Rental Servic~ *Ask For The ''WILKES SPECIAL" -PRICED ESPECIALLY FOR YOU JOHN B.

Y., (I. P.)-Education wilts and dies if the free discussion of ideas is proscribed, dedare·s Dr. John Cranford Adams, president of Hofstra College. Dr. Adams believes that students must know foreign ideologies as well as their own. He points out that those members of the American public who feel that any mention of Russia in the classroom is tantamouI_1t to treason must be taught to realize that teaching an understanding of forei,gn ideologies is not the same thing as teaching an allegiance to foreign ideologies. "I have studied page after page o,f the speeches of Karl Marx, of Lenin, Hitler, and Stalin. I am more convinced after Slich study that such doctrines are not for me and my children. I can read the Koran without the risk of becoming a Mohammedan. In fact, it .makes me more a champion of Christianity than ever before. "We have reports in many areas (sometimes, I am disturbed to hear, on this very campus) that some students a,s well as older persons feel that it is wrong to teach anyone about the t;tature of foreign ideologies. They feel, it is ·un-American to, explain why foreign countries have ideologies different from our own. "They feel it is wrong to have teachers on our faculties who know enough a·bout· for,e ign ideologies to inform us about them and explain their good points and their bad points. How can such attitudes be reconciled with the great dictum: ' 'Know the truth, and the truth will set you free'? This dictum is cent- r al to any tru e system of education. "Are newspapers subversive because they are filled day after day with n ews and editorials explaining reasons behind the actions of our enemies ? And shouldn't the classroom, and especially the college classroom-filled with responsible men and women seeking knowledge and understanding.-offer just a s important a platform fo r under standing? "At Hofstra College a full course in American history is requfred of all students. Our own American ,w ay of life is taught first. Every teacher at Hofstra has willingly taken the teachers oath. And I know at fir,st hand that everyone subscribes to' that oath. "We have, and I hope "we shall always have, persons on ou;r staff who are expert lecturers on international affairs and the various economic and political systemst ea chers wi.th background to evaluate ·the g ood and bad points of each major system, who can explain these good and bap. points without per sonal or professional bias."

THOMAS LITTLETON Well, I went to the New Gayety and met Miss Judy Holliday; i;;he arrived exactly on time. We climbed t.yo flights_ of stairs ,a nd entered a cubby-hole--::-better known as a dressing room. lLhad all the comforts of home (if you happen to live in a barn). . When I asked this young star about her study I got the surprise of my life. "I never did study, either at a school or under a tutor," she told me. This, needless to say, is slightly more than amazing. Most of you, I imagine, have seen the Little Theatre's . production of ".Born Yesterday" starring Catherine Flood. Well, if you have, you may well ima_g ine the difficulty of . interpreting a role such as C'Billie's". -And here, a great actress, one who was cheered by the critics as giving "the greatest portrayal of a dumb blonde in years," telling me that she has had absolutely no training. She's dumb all right-"dumb as a fox." Another fact that may amaze you-she has been in only two plays in her life: "Kiss Them For Me" in 1945 and "Born Yesterday". For the former she had the regular run of rehearsals, but for the latter, anq get this, she had exactly f0ur days. If you remember, Jean Arthur was slated to play the role of "Billie", but she resigned four days before the opening ~ue to "illness". This forced the very versatile Miss Holliday to carry a show on her shoulders with only four 'day's preparation. She did a fine CR,AFTSMEN ENGRAVERS * Street, 20 North Stqte Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Phone 3-3151 job too. Don't believe me-just read the critics' notices. I asked Miss Holliday if she· felt an actress ought to have some practical experience before going, on the stage. She said that; while she hadn't realized it at the time, , the best practical experience she has had came from Night Club entertaini:og. You see, when you perform in a Night Club you face all sorts of competition. The noise, the moving sound; the jibber-jabber, the other attention-getting devices will focus an audiences' attention away from the entertainer. If you can force an audience to listen to you, des·p ite all of thes~ odds, th~n you have the best possible expenence to test your personality.

Impossible. , There probably aren't twenty.five men who can carry a pigskin better than our Little · Albert in the whole United States, let alone twelve In Pen~ylvapia! Anyone who has seen Al in action once kno:ws that. Just ask King's. Our opponents came up with a number of good backfield men In our games t~is season. but none could compare with Al. Swllty Polk had speed over Albert, but he also had the blocking. so any comparison between the two would be useless. The record book bears out Al's ability as a ball. player. He made 60 of the Colonels' 88 points this season. In four of the Colo• nels' seven games he was the only man to score for Wilkes. Nick made 10 TD's. The ' three other touchdowns that the Colonels made Al was in there all the time. He passed to McMahon and Manarski for two. and set up a l•yard . dive by Picton in the Ithaca game with hi's 25•yard gallop. And then they put him down as " honorable lJlention". From now on they should let Dorothy Dix choose the All•State team. She couldn't do worse. PRESS-TIME BULLETIN!! WILKES BEATS SUSQUEHANNA, 68-47 .

CAPITALISTS' CAPERS TOMORROW NIGHT - DEBATORS WIN -HONORS NEWS BRIEF ·_Wilkes' Debating Teams Win High Honors; Teams Win "Superior" and "Excellent" Ratings Culminating several week!; of intensive preparation, the Wilkes College debating teams, under the direction of their coach Dr. Arthur Kruger, · took up where they left off last year and compiled an outstanding record over the weekend in two debating tounaments. The Varsity team traveled to Hofstra, Long Island, where it took part in the Third Annual Hofstra Invitational Debate Tournament and the Novice team journeyed to Philadelphia for the annual Temple Novice Debate Tournament. The National Debate Topic, "Resolved, That the NONCommunist Nations of the World Form a New International Organization," was used in both tourneys. The Wilkes varsity, composed of Tom Morgan, Fred Davis, Julian Goldstein, and Ann Belle Perry, won •s ix out <:>f eight debates at Hofstra and placed second 1in the •final · ,s tandings to Barnard and Kings Point, who tied for first with a seven ,and ·o ne record. A de. cision over Barnard, to whom Wilkes lost by the slim margin of three points out of a .possible 12-6, would have put Wilkes .into a firstplace tie with Kings Point. As it is, the team received high praise from the judges in winning over Queens College, Wagner, Seton Hall, St. Peter's twice, and Brooklyn College. Wilkes' only other loss was to Kings Point. The team of Tom Morgan and Freel: Davis, upholding the negative side of the question, added to their phenomenal record in intericoll_e giate debating !by winning four out .o f four, giving them an overall total thus far of eleven wins in twelve debates. In the in'ividual standings, both boys rated 'slliPerior". The affirmative team of Julian ,dstein and Ann Belle Perry, winni ng 2 out of 4 debates, ught their total to 5 wins out their last 8 debates. Last F ebry at the Barnard Tournam ent v won 3 out of 4. They were , a: ."excellent" at Hofs tra. hough the Novice team of John 1rtha, Bill P oltrock, Phyllis Dei,er, and Diane Travis did not walk off with any honors at T emple, their ·p erformance was highly creditable. Debating eight times, they won four contests against Drexel, Georgetown, Brookl · , College, and Elizabethtown, losing to Princeton, Duquesne, · Georl!'etown; and Temple. The Wilkes affirmative team of Murtha and Poltrock received an averag,e rating on all d-ebates of "excellent" and inthe Emzabethtown debate were rated "superior". The negative team of Deisher and Travis were the only ones to defeat the Georgetown affirmative team. It was the largest Temple tournament since the inception of the event,, with 84 teams from 6 states taking part. George Washington University had the only _undefeated affirmative and negative teams. On Tuesday the debating society conducted a forum ib,efore memhers of the Wilkes student body and faculty at the weekly assembly program, using as the topic for t he forum, ":Sihould We Reject . The Welfare !State?'' The program ·was ta,pe-recorded for a future broadcast over W]LK. On the forum were Nancy Fox, Phy.His Deisher, Gytelle Freed: and Bill Poltrock. W.ednesday night, Morgan and Davis j-ourneyed to Easton where · they met the Lafayette affirmative .t eam on the national topic. The debate was presented to the Facuity Club of Lafayette College.

(This question co~cems only -the students.) EDITORIAL NO FAMINE, PLEASE! In our endeavors to obtain money by approacping prospectiv advertisers, we hci:ve been made aware of a significant point. Some businessmen in Wilkes-Barre are somewhat peeved that they do not receive requests to submit bids whenever Wilkes .is out to buy merchandise. Various department store heads have startled our ad-seekers by voicing their feelings in no ~certain terms concerning - for instance - the purchasing of Wilkes sweaters. Apparently, the department stores were not approached in any way. Strangely enough, the critics modified their accusations immediately by stating that the stores probably wouldn't be interested anyway. For all we know, it might have been a ruse to ge rid of the Beaconites who were trying to get ads. Nevertheless, it is something to think about. Wilkes is 1a community college. It should go all out to foster and maintain sound relationships between the people of WilkesBarre and itself. Advertising is bread and butter to the Beacon and the Amnicola.

SOPH-FROSH DANCE SUCCESS LAST WEEK Braving foul weatherr, some people came to the Soph-Frosh Joy.Jaunt, hoping to dance, sing, eat, drink and make merry. Most of these people claim they did so. The superlatively executed decorati-ons put the patrons in a mood of anticipation. Many of the men and maidens stayed eager for the remainder of the evening. After a period of dancing to Paul Finley',s orchestra (aided by Stan Miles with his sax), the p,eople gathered around the stage for some entertainment. By the time the soiree wp.s over, everyone was ·g lad that S,kinny E'nnis was Master of Oeremoni,es. Even Skinny's pcresence makes ·p eople feel gay. Mr. Bob Partridge led some group singing and smiled at Mrs. ·Partridge. Flip Jones helped people enjoy the evening and each •other with his singing. A riotous skit enacted by students from Conyngham Hall left grins on the faces of the audience after the laughter ,su'bsided. The skit, written by Dick Glace, was put ·over by Harry Graboske, Dick Glace, Bill Holtzman, Jim Hartman, and Diana Campus. This gave the Arts students, and the science students, themselves, a chance to see the science students in action.

B E E R S - - - - - - - - - The fifth annual AthleUc Banquet went over big last Thursday evening, Giving Mrs. Brennan an assist for the very tasty turkey dinner and a well•theytrled to_ those three good•hu~or men, Messieurs Partridge, Ralston and Laggen, the affair was very enjoyable. Partridge 'opened up the evening by pointing out lo all concerned the remarkable improvement of his 1950 soccer team over tho 1949 one. "Our '49 record was 0-7", said Robert, "but in '50 we had a 0-1•7 one-ah, progress!" Then Jim Laggen said that he dldn;t know exactly -.vhat to expect from his present wrestling team, being that there are lour soccer play.e rs on It. When the booes died down. George Ralston look the floor and held it until baseball. basketball and football had been thoroughly covered. But try as they may, the three good•h~r men couldn't steal the show-Ed BoguJ sko and Al Molosh did that. Big Ed walked off with the Outstanding Lineman Trophy and the Joseph Gallagher Memorial Trophy, an award made to the foot. ball player "who most embodies team spirit, loyalty, faithfulness and competl• tl~e drive/' Ed Bogusko deserved ~ laurels. And then Alexander _Molosh of Brooklyn. N. Y.. was named 1950's Outstanding Athlete 'of the Year at Wilkes College, Big Mo, following 'In the footsteps of Waite Hendershot, Pickles Lewis and Poop Walten1, made the grade In everything-leadership, acholasUc ablll• ty, sportsmanship and athleUc 'a blllty. If you had ever seen him •play shortstop or defensive end, you'd agree that he was The Man In 'SO. Just 'ask King's. Al Nicholas took the Outstanding Back Trophy, going the full twenty yards to tho speakers' table without a hand being laid on him, as per usual. 'And finally, for the fifth straight ·year the Colonels took the Bill Pierce Tro.p hy, which goea to the victor of the Wllkes•Klng's game. That trophy is taken for.granted any• more. It was announced at the Banquet that George McMahon and Al Molosh ha,d been vote4 the 1951 co-captains of the football team, succeeding Leo Castle and Norm Cross. It was generally agreed that the team ihad mad& a good choice _for co-captains. Both George and Al, both ends by the way, are good boysand can be counted on for a job-welld•one. Carl Wallison was named captain of the 1951 soccer team In a post•season meeting of the te'am. Wally has great possibilities-In either direction. One thing is sure, ·th?ugh, he will be colorful, and we do mean colorful. The big news this week is the starting of •the Intramural Basketball League in the Gym. If pre-season enthusiasm Is any Indication of what's to come, then the League should really take 1~e School bY' sJorm. After a so-so intramural football season, which just ended yesterday, Bob Partridge stuck his head out of his office and meekly said, "Now boys, we're going to have a basketball league." The response was terrific. In fact the Director of Student Activities got so excited by the rush that he consumed a bottle of Seritan in two days. Part• ridge ls just shaking off the effect of it now. As ~f date, there are 18 teams of 6 or more members in the League! The Boss has taken eight of the clubs and put them in the Blue League and ten of them in the Gold League, blue and gold being Wilkes College's colors. There w~s _a lime . when Partridge wouldn't bet a busted balloon that he could get together one ·1eague, let alone two, Now if all the teams stay whole, show up on lime, play their games like gentlemen. and don't beat any helpless, referee to a pulp, the first annual Intramural Bosket· ball League will be the headliner of the year;. Partridge is banking on it-if this doesn't work, nc\hing will. Don't feel too . low about the basketball team dropping its first two games. _That could --happen to anyone. But to tell the truth, Hartwick and lthac!l were both beller•than•average ballclubs. Hartwick, in th_e opener, piled up 92 points, a pretty fair l(llal ,even for our dearly.beloved Barons. Ithaca could only got 13 points, but most colleges are lucky lo do that two or three times a whole season. Tho Colonels are a much improved team from the I one that tried hard in '49. . Lasi yeqxr we averaged 53 points a game. That average was topped both limes this year ,and against pretty fair teams at that. 'IJ'.lhy are the Colonels a better ballclub than that gang of '49? Word from those who know is: 1. Team gets a decent chance lo practice in our new gym: 2. Some of Ifist year's bums have left, and the ones that haven't left have been converted: 3. Charley Jack• son did a remarkable job in his pre-se?son warm-up se;ision; 4. A real lighUng spirit has developed: 5. The team is -making Its foul points (topping both Hart• wick and Ithaca in that department); 5. Parker Petrilak Is shutting his eyes now• adayo and hilting the backboard a little more oftener. One thing Is definite-the Colonels are on the way up. They'll be an interesting team to watch. Tha wrestling team has commenced hostiliUes. Their early efforts to whipup Into shape have so far been reduced lo brain•work, or, trying to find some! spot big enough in the gym to practice. The original wrestling room was soi small ,that Monster Eckmeter had to walk outside to scratch his back. There and then it was the lime for a change. The boys are now down on the main floor in a bigger spot. You can look for them to give dear old Wilkes a terrific I . s,czson, or ~t least that's what comes out from the money•boys.

Maryland State finished the football season unbeaten and untied, as did 19 o\her teams in the nation. The Maryland State team can be remembered for the "terrific" game played against Wilkes in the Kingston Stadium. Maryland played only 7 games, but an unusual note is that they scored more points in those seven games than any other unbeaten or u11-lied team in the country. They outscored teams which played and won 10 games. Their total scoring was 361 points as against 38 points. for thi:, opposition; quite a re• cord! , THE GRID CHAMPIONSHIP DECIDED THURSDAY BOSTON STORE- Yesterday was the date for the big game-the game that decided the grid intramural championship.

This -q uestion may seem absu,rd, but yet such .a marvelous opportunity _looms upon the Wilkes social horizon, and there are many who will fail to exploit the .advantage of the occasio_n . The reference naturally pertains to the Letterman's Christmas Formal on Friday, December 15, 1950, at the Wilkes gymnasium. There, one will be able to gamer those sweet minutes for memory, fired to inspiration by the mellow melodies of Jack Melton's orchestra.

Most of the boys don't own Tuxedos because they have little practical value outside of the special occasion. Entrepreneurs are not loathe to take advantage of existing conditions and they usually charg.e st eeply for rental of 'fish 'n' tails'.

Dear Sir: I read in your editorial [EntitledBUT, OF COURSE. WE'RE BIASED1] last week in THE BEACON. In ' it you mentioned the fact that at the University of Bridgeport the newspaper receives $3.694.08 and the yearbook only $1,169.28. You said yoµ were in favor of their system of budgeting. Well, Mr. Editor, it is my contention that if all the University spends O? its yearbook is less than $1,200 that publication must look like an abbreviated issue of our night school catalogue printed on ~leenex. The above mentioned $\200 would P,ay for a book with covers similar to ours, and contain therein the astronomical number of twelve pages! The only method by which they could publish a book as large as our past issues would be to charge each .student $5.00 a copy. Would you be willing to drop an engraved po trait of Linco_ln into our hot little hands? Although I can understand your desire to see the .AMNICOLA's allotment reduced and the BEACON's budget increased. we should weigh the values of these two publications which are paid for by the students oj Wilkes College. The BEACON prints news, items of current interest. The AMNICOLA does no! print this type of material.

The AMNICOLA is printed on higher grade paper. and bound with a heavy, durable cover becquse it Is read and reread by the students not only while in college, but long after his undergraduate days are past. It is because of the above reasons that I believe the Student Council has rightly given the AMNICOLA a slightly larger allotment \han the BEACON. Our two publications have always worked hand-in-hand in the past. We should now strive to obtain an increased budget for both publications, not cross pens in an attempt to .obtain a few moro dollars for our respective organization aLthe expense of the other.

THOMAS LITTLETON (Washington. D. C., November 15) Last night I had the pleasure of meeting one of the most sensible and · down-to-earth young actors I have ever known. We met in front of O'Donnell's Sea Grill at exactly 5:30. Believe it on not he was the first actor I have ever known to arrive not only on time-but ah~ad of time. He greeted me with a friendly smile, a warm handshake, and a kind word, "I'm hungry-let's eat." The actor's name Is Peter Conlow, and he Is one of the feature dancers (In lact...:...I would say-THE feature dancer) in LEND AN EAR ,a musical show that has just completed 58 weeks on Broadway and about 11ix months on the road. I chose to Interview Mr. Conlow because I wondered what advice a man. who can project so much to his audience through the medium of dance, would give to others who might want to enter his profession. It wasn't difficult to get an Interview . either. He simply wrote back iiaylng, "Yes, I can sp~e some· time for an interview ••• yotl can lire away while we eat." (Not a gun. dear coeds-questions). In answer to the personal questions put to him, he said: "I am 23 years of age, not married. and was christened Francis E. Conlow. I class all types of sports as my hobby; chiefly, baseball football, and basketball. No one else In my family has ever had a theatrical career. but my dad operates a wellknown dancing sdhool in Philadelphia. I hail from Hatboro, Pennsylvania-a little town about two miles from Willow Grove." In response to my last question. Mr. Conlow said (alter taking his list out of my mouth), "No, Mr. Littleton, I DO NOT dye or use a rinse on my hair." (I discovered that It was my own loot and not his list in my mouth.) . I asked Pete ·about his past experience In the· theatre. He said he did not feel the compulsion for a theatrical career until alter his discharge from the Navy. He then made his professional debut lour years ago in the chorus line of SONG OF NORWAY. followed that with OKLAHOMA. AS THE GIRLS GO, and finally became a feature dancer of LEND AN EAR. That's pretty last stepping · 111 his profession. About the future: "Well", he .s aid. 'Tm going back to. New York. continue my studies, and then try for what I can geL When he says "continue his studies" he Isn't kidding either. In his young · life he has studied extensively under his lather's direction; Ballet under Madam Anderson; and Modem Dancing under flanya Holm; plus having Jaken several 0 ' courses. in singing, acting, and Dance Interpretation at the American National Theatre Wing. Remember the old question: Whlch is more important-the story or the music?" When I asked him this, Mr. C. replied: "DEFINITELY the story. Alter a few performances you know your music, beat, and rhythm; A singer tells a story when singing; a dancers tells a story when dancing. and In order to project proper facial expressions and feeling for the dance It Is of the utmost importance to concentrate on the story." "Of course", he added ,h astlly, "you must never forget the music, but concentrate primarily on th!i! story." From the very first I decided that Mr. C. was a genuine person. His sincere, unassuming manner, his desire to succeed made me feel that he could capably and realistically "cuss and discuss" the attributes which he believed ·a performer SHOULD or SHOULD NOT possess. ,, "Always be sincere. Never _regard your audience as being anything but 'Hep'. Live your part continuously on the stage. Have. ii possible, a contagious personality. Make your audience not only feel but believe that that they are a part of you-and. know yourself. that · your are a part of them. And for go•h sake, don•t be taken up with your own stardom. Remember, you are no more above your audience than they ~bove you. Be humble, polite, and friendly; this above all: Never display conceit or superiority on the stage." Time "marched on", or rather, "flew by", and It was getting late; so ••• knowing that Pete had to ' get back to the theatre for another performance, I decided I had better end the interview as soon as possible. So • • • I popped that debatable question, "What do you think of the old adage, 'The Show Must Go On'?" His answer was much different than I expected. "The example has been set. Each time a star is unable to 'go on', and the understudy takes over, It Is a great disappointment to the audience. An audience pays good money to see the best.

Open Wide The Doors! It is with pride that we roll out the welcome carpet for you homecoming alumni of 1950. As the roots of Wilkes grow deeper into the finn and fertile ground of tradition and spirit and the College matures, you alumni are growing also. The spirit which pervades the campus during this 1950 hom~coming celebration is indicative of the strong and healthy growth of Wilkes in the past few years. Wilkes cannot boast of fraternities, a gridiron machine to be feared throughout the nation, or . a bottomless pool of resources with which it might "buy" its way into national prominence. However, Wilkes can . boast of the spirit of brotherhood on campus. Wilkes can boast of the quality of its products. Wilkes can boast ·of its progress. W elco:rne back, alumni. You are the marks of Wilkes College. You are its products and the examples of its progress. You have a right to feel proud. Many of the under-graduates on campus today will know none of you homecomers. Yet, through your presence and enthusiasm we forsee spirit instilled in all under-grads. And through your contagious spirit we envision even more successful homecoming celebrations of today are the foundations for those .of future years. Thank you for maldng U,.ose foundations strong!

INTER-CLUB COUNCIL BEGINS ACTMTIES The Inter-club council, meeting in the gym lobby Thursday eve'.; ning, November 9, prepared a system for the outside decoration of campus buildings by student organizations for the Homecoming week-end. The council voted that the various clubs be asked through their faculty advisers to pa_rticipate in decorating the 'outside of the buildings. After a discussion on a controversial issue, the council voted to ask for concessions at ' gymnasium athletic events. The members discussed the two new school policies : that all financial transactions of campus organizations will be handled through the Finance Office, each organiza~ tion having a separate. account of its own; and that in order to charge for a social affair at the gym, an organization must obtain ,Permission from the Student Council. The letter-to-the-editor written by Tony Andronaco concerning academic and extra-curricular activity of students was disussed. The Inter -club Council generally agreed that many instructors do not sufficiently take into consideration the fa ct that a student's physical energy is limied. �2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, November 17,, r,sso LITERARY SOCIETY STUDENT COUNCIL AT S.

The emphasis upon intellectual de~elopment at Wilkes College makes it infeasible to emphasize athletics. It is the belief of the administration and faculty that high scholastic standards cannot be attained when too much emphasis is placed u,pon any one phase of an extra-curricular activity. Therefore, the college .gives no scholarships for th~' sole purpose of encouraging athletes to attend Wilkes College. Athletes will receive the some consideration in admissions, in the classroom, and in the. awarding of scholarships that is given to other students. Should the winner of a scholarship wish to particl~e in any student activity, he is free to do so. In no instance will the continuance of his scholarship depend upon such participation. · High scholarship and good influences will entitle any scholarship recipient to the retention of his award. In arranging for intercollegiate competition, Wilkes College seeks to establish permanent ties with colleges adhering to the same 'policies of admission, maintaining similar scholastic standards, and offering assistance on ·the same basis.

BUT, OF COURSE, WE'RE BIASED It was interesting to us on the Beacon to note the University of Bridgeport's budget. Out of 27 organizations on the budget list, only thtee received over $700. Their yearbook received $1,169.28, the Social Activities budget was $2,736.00, and their 1 newspaper ireceived the tops of them all-$3,694.08 . However, it would not be fair to compare the budgets 'of Wilkes and Bridgeport. Their enrollment is higher and their system of budgeting is entirely different than our own. The interesting point was the difference between the yearbook and newspaper allotments. Naturally, we favor the Bridgeport idea of financial emphasis being placed on the newspaper . . . but, of course, we're biased .

C., from November 9 to 11. The conference members considered and · discussed further research in Alaska and the importance of Alaska in the defense scheme at the -p resent time. The ,g athering was held under the auspices of the National Re.search Council and the National Academy of Science. Question:- What, in yoUJr estimation constitutes a ,g.ood date? PHOTOGRAPHERS! READ THIS! Jim (Roxy) Reynolds, Sophomore, Hanover- " I like to gp out wi th a girl who will eruter into the a ctivity of ,t he evening. Th,erefo-r e, she is one who must be a good C01'versationalist. Oh yes, she :h as to have standards, too." Beth Badman, Sophomore, Plymouth- "A lot of things are important for a g-ood date; we must have similar illlterests and enjoy many of the same things. A s,ense of humor is important too." Amateur photographers on cam: pus should be interested to know about the college photography contest being sponsored by Chesterfield Cigarettes. Chesterfield wants ,a mateur shutterbugs to click a series of three snapshots showing photogenic students at Wilkes taking the mildness Test. The Pictures are to be EXACTLY like those appearing in the Chesterfield advertisements in the BEACON. Three photographs of each model are to be submitted illustrating the important steps in the Mildness Test: Open 'Em, Smell 'Em. Smoke 'Em. Plhotogr:awis are 11hen ,to be mailed to: Campus Merchandising Bureau, Inc., 24 Madison Ave., New York 16, New York. On the back · of each print, the photographer should give his name and address and the name and address of the student model. If the pictures are chosen to ap pear in Chesterfield's college newspaper advertising, the photographer wins $50.00. The next contest deadline is December 6, 1950. Here's a simple way to grab $50.-00 and to win some national recognition for our school. Let's have a winner at Wilkes! And look for the Chesterfield ad in the BEACON; that's your cue. Ro n n i e Brennan, Sophomore, Coughlin- "Two ears, two eyes, one mouth and usual appendages (I le~rned that word in health class)) tha,t's a nice combination to start otit with. In other words, she has to be human and be able to get along like huma ns . You know, g.ood humor, good conversationalist, a fair dancer, they are all important.'_' THE SPA P. R. 0. Release A ~ormal note will b.e injected into a gala week-end of Homecoming activity tonight at 7, when former students of Wilkes .College and -B ucknell University Junior College will attend a Formal Dinner-Dance in the Victory Room of the Hotel Redington . Music for the evening of dancing will be provided by Lee Vincent and his orchestra. This ipopular Wyoming Valley dance band-acclaimed by many to be the finest in the state--recently completed a six-week engagement at the Steel Pier in Atlantic City. A special committee, under the guidance of -Chairman Rau and Alumni President Donald L. Honeywell, has been working for the past six weeks in order to make this part of the Homecoming a big_ success. First F,>rmal Dance The event will mark the first·, time in the history of alumni affairs at Wilkes College that a foTmal dinner-dance has been held. At first there was some objection raised about the move to make the dance formal, but a vote was taken among the members present at the August meeting and it was decided by a majority vote that thi~ dance should be of the tuxedo variety. The cabaret theme will prevail. A speaker's table will be located on the east end of the huge room. The room conforms to the traditional Wilkes College blue and gold atmosphere. It is expected that the guest speaker will be a prominent Wyoming Valley resident, who is extremely interested in the work being done at Wilkes College and also one who is well versed in the benefits of having a strong alumni association behind a growing institution.

Of these men ,only three, Charlie. Jackson' at 6 feet 3 inches., and Charles 'PetrHak and Ned Munley at 6 feet 1 inch and 6 f.eet 2 inc·h es, Tespectively, wiH top the six foot mark. The .situation is much the same among the newcomers to the Wilkes squad with the tall,est candidate scraping the scoring table at 6 feet 2 inches. TheTe are, however, a few bright .spots. The team lacks the tall men who are necessary fo,r the pivot type of court game, 'b ut the squad on the whole has a f.ew members who are within the sneezing distance of the six foot bracket. In additiom, work- outs have shown that the team will have some .sp,eed. · In a word, or a few words, the team lacks a taiH man or men, hut the average height is in the vicinity of .s ix feet, ·a'.nd the team will be fast. The physical qualifications of the men plus the fact that Wilkes :h as a large court might seem to indicate that the 1950-51 1Colonel,s could develop, at ,l east on its home fioor, a fast breaking attack whkh would be difficult to stop. ·F or the past two week•s Charlie Jackson has been ,r unning the team through calisthenics, Hoor patterns, and shooting drills.

Among the suggested reforms is a recommendation to center the responsibility for administration of all governmental departments and insure increased economy in the government.

They are the Interstate Commerce Commission, the Federal Power ·Commission, Federal Trade Commission Securities and Exchange Commission, Federal Communications Commission, National Labor Relations Board, and the Civil Aeronautics Board. Miscellaneous and General Plans The last group is of a general and miscellaneous character. It is concerned with such matters as labor reinforcement standards. OvE!r one-half of the reforms have already been adopted by Congress. There has been a saving of over two billion dollars per year as a direct result of their passage.

Wilkes, who was "up" for the game, was thoroughly out-cla,s sed by the high-ranking Maryland club. In the second half Swifty Polk and his friends ran things as they saw fit. To hit the nail on the head, they were just too darn good. The Colonels opened up like a ' house on fire. Disregarding the clippings that said that Maryland hadn't b.een beaten in their last 19 games and that they boasted 3 All~Negro All-Americans in Sylv,e ster Polk, Ken Martin, and Bob S,teele, Wilkes took-off. Nicholas and Minarski carried the bal,l forty yards, until they w.ere forced to kick. In four downs, Maryla-nd could do nothing, so the Colonels took over a gain. This time t hey drov-e 63 yards, being stopped on the Hawks' one yard line! Al Nicholas hit Minarski with a ibeautiful 30 yard pass right down the middle that would hav.e gone all the way if s peedster Polk hadn't hauled down Minny. After exchanging fumbl,es, Maryland had .t he ball on their own 24 yard line. "The Milwaukee Express", Mr. Sylv.ester P olk, took the ball and scooted over, around, through, and under the whole Wilkes team to register a lovely 66 yard touchdown gallop. Harris cam,e in and made .t he conv,e rsion, giving the Hawks a 7-0 lead. But the Colonels came back. Two :Straight 20 yard .p asses from Nichobs to Georgi-e Elias put the Colo·nels deep in Hawk territory. Then ·Nicholas brok,e loose, tip~toeing '23 yards for the Colonels' first ·score. The kick was bad, putting t'he Colonels one. point behind. "Baby-fare'' Raikes, Maryland ·S tate's 240 pound tackle, took t he kick-off and tried to pull off a '',Switty ·Polk". Just when fiv,e Colonels were ready to pounce on him, Rail{,es tossed the ball behind his back and Georgie Elias was ther.e to haul it in. But the break didn't .pan out. Wilkes was forced to kick. Polk to,ok Oastle's nice boot on his own 8 and raced it b~c.k 92. yards for a TD. I dare say that Kin~ton Stadium never witnessed such a sp_ectacular run. , _ __ _ _ _ _ _ lf Mr. All American couldn't fak.e them, he · ran rig ht passed them. He made speedster Nicho.Jas and Minarski look like they wer-e walking, he was that •fast. Th,e Colonels got the kick-off, but fumb led on the first play. By now the boys were a little out of gas . .Mr. Polk really drained the tank. But his substitute, Bob Steele, took the ball on the first play and w.ent 35 yards around the end for the Ha•w ks' third TD. That was th e t urning point in the game. From then on Maryland started to clown, and when they clownea they were twice a·s good. They had the -Colon.els in .h ot water and they wouldn't pull them out. The ,s econd half wa•s all Maryland State. Al Nicholas did manage to sneak in a .nice 20 yard touchdown run f.or the Colonels, but everything was Red and Gray. Polk went on to score two mor,e touchdowns, one a lovely 46 ya.r d job, while his buddies chipp.ed in with two mor•e. The Hawks' blocking was sharp as a razor. They ·puLled off a screen pas·s that coaches would say could only be don.e on a blackboard. Their All Ameirican quarterback, Ken Martin, started to flip the ball around something awful.

"SHE HASN'T BEEN HOME IN EIGHT YEARS!" CHETWA Y -BROA,DKIN Mr. Robert Chetway and Miss Alice Broadkin were married at noon Monday at the home of the bride's parents, Mr• and Mrs. P · D. Broadkin, Rev. M. L. Cassoway officiating. The groom is a popular young bum who hasn't done a lick of work since he got skipped in the middle of his junior year at college. He manages to dress well and keep a supply of spending money ' because his dad is a softhearted old fool who takes up his bak checks instead of letting him go to jail where he belongs. The bride is a skinny little idiot who has been kissed by every boy in towli since she was twelve years old. She paints like a Sioux Indian, sucks cigarettes in secret, and drinks mean corn liquor when she is out · joy-riding in her dad's car at night. She doesn't know how to, cook, sew, or keep house. The house was newly plastered . for th e wedding and th e exterior newly painted, thus appropriately · out t he decorative · sc heme, carrymg for the groom was newly plastered also, and the bride newly painted. RENTED SUIT The groom wore a rented dinner suit over underwear of imitation silk. His pants were held up by green suspenders. His number eight patent leather shoes matched his state in tightness and harmonized nicely with the axle-grease polish of his hair. In addition to his jag, he carried a pocket knife, a bunch of keys, an unpaid bill for a ring and his usual look of imbecility. The bride wore som kind of white thing that left most of her legs sticking out at one end and the honey upper end sticking out at the other. The young people will make their home with the br ide's parentswhich means they will sponge on the old man until he dies and then she will take in washing.

IT'S COMING SOON '~THE CAPITALISTS' CAPERS!" SHOULD GIRLS LEARN HOMEMAKING? IT'S A DE6ATABLE QUESTION FOR SOME New Brunswick, N. J.-(1. P.)-The hotly-debated question of whether "homemaking" courses should be taken in college recei~ed a split decision recently at New Jersey College for Women. The question, "Do you feel you should have taken courses in homemaking while you were in college?" was put to 230 graduates from the classes of 1925 and 1945. Although more than half of the '25ers answered the ques'lion in the affirmative, 53 per cent of the replies from the 1945 were negative. This would -s.eem to indicate .that the more recent graduates have not yet felt the need or else have discovered o th er means of satisfying it. ,Supp-0rters o f "homemaking'' education f o r women came out strongly in favor of their cause. ''Marriage is the most natural career for a girl, yet we give little time to its study," s-a id one. "College, of course, broadens our hor'i. . · z.ons, and as •s uch, gives us a better chance to mak,e a s,uooess of marriage - but let's -g ive future generations some of the ·short cuts." Another felt that "colleges in general are f,a iling to prep,a re o-ne for an all-a<round g-ood married life by not offering more of such cour-ses." On the other hand, alumnae opposed to "homemaking'' courses had this to say: "A liberal arts course should not be crowded · with homemaking courses. A bride will learn to cook when she has to, but if she d oesn't take political science and French or music in college, she may never learn it." • "What is the benefit of a college education if it doesn't teach how to find out and learn without a set of directions 'being handed out?" asked one graduate. "'A t. college ·one is suppQsed rbo learn· how to attack problems, how to think, how to read, and where to -f ind information. With this equip- · ment, one doesn't need homemak.: ing 'how to' courses."

Sta~di'ng, r'eft to right: Carl Scott, Bert Stein, Dale Warinouth, Wayne Madden and �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 12 PROGRAM OF A NIGHT AT AN INN, SUBMERGED, NO ORCHIDS, 1S GOOD Last Friday night, the Cue and Curtain concluded its threeday run of the one-act plays, "No Orchids" by James McHale, "A Night At An Inn" by Lord Dunsay, and "Submerged" by ;Stuart Cottman and Le Vergne Shaw. The three plays were student directed. Don Williams and James Gatens were in charge of "No Orchids", Peter Mergo directed "A Night At An Inn". "Submerged" was under the pirection of Herny Merolli. At the initial performance Wednesday night, the high spot in the evening's entertainment was Andrew Evans' portrayal of Brice, a coward who is trapped in a submarine below the surface of the sea. The role was in direct contrast with the comedy parts which Andy had previously held and he demonstrated in "Submerged", his ability to play-an intense role. Andy received very capable assistance from a group of comparatively inexperienced actors. Peter Mergo was the only other member of the cast who had previously played a major role in a Cue 'n' Curtain three act production. Among the newcomers Bert Stein stood out, and Carl Sott, Dale Warmouth and Wayne Madden handled their parts well. 'n' ,Curtain did their usual fine job of establishing a background for the Wilkes thespians. Assisting Jack Gallagher were Kay Read Andy E vans, Helen Brown, Betty Ann Smith, Ted Blasberg, Tony Andronaco, Helen Williams, Elaine Nesbitt and Johnny Moore. The make-up committee was headed by Peter Mergo, and he was assisted by Ann Azat, Peg Kocher, Marge Brennish and Jeanne Smith. Publicity was handled by James Gaetens, Ned Munley and Ruth Dilley! •p roperties were obtained by Don Stolberg; costumes were arranged by Shirley Salsburg and Murray P QIJ)ky. Bob Stackhouse a nd Robert Ladd handled lighting. The progr,ams were d,esigned and printed ,b y Ned Munley and Henry Merolli. All in all the night's eptertainment was certainly enjoyable and gave evidence of t eam-work in front of and behind the scenes. The Cue 'n' Curtain's motto is, "always room for one more". Any- The play, "A Night At An Inn" was somewhat below the standard set by "Submerged". However, the play contained several bright spots. It was highlighted by the appearance of a green-faced monster. Paul Thomas made a guest showing for that part. The acst included Ned Munley, Earl Wolfe, John Moore and James Gatens. The third play, "No Orchids", was a romantic comedy. The acting was good, but a rather weak plot did not give the cast an adequate oppo:r;tunity to interpret their parts. The cast includued Ann Azat, Helen Brown, Nancy Lewis, Ted Glasberg and Charlie Thomas. All of the cast appeared as future 3-act hopefuls.

M. The program will be a musical performance rather than a religious service. •St. John's Church is a large, red stone ibuiJding located two blocks below Wilkes at the corner of Academy and River Streets. Mr. Dona id Cobleigh, director of the Wilkes 1School of Music, wiill conduct the performance.. The drama will be narrated by William Griffiths. !Soprano so'loists include Ruth Turn Reynolds, Nancy Boston, Carlie Jan,e Thomas, and Miriam Long. Helen Bitler Hawkins will sing -the contralito .solos, and Evan Pavker will take the tenor solo selections. Marysh Mieszkowski and Donna ·Cottrino will accompany the group on duo pianos.

Nayar Tells Wilkes Audience Friday, May 19, 195_0 CINDERELLA BALL COMMITTEES By GEORGE . H. KABUSK Dr. Sushilla Nayar speaking to a near-capacity group in the lecture hall yesterday at 11 o'clock said that the use of hatred has never solved any problems. She asserted thtxt the ·s olution to world problems can be Gandhi's policy of noncooperation and the policy of non-violence. Basically these policies are the expression of truth and justice. :Discounting the annoucement that she was Gandhi's personal doctor, Dr. Nayar ,ex.plained that Gandhi considered notlhing personal; his service was dedicated to the people. Dr. Nayar stated that Gandhi's great contribution to the world was: an emphasis on means as opposed to ends. This was not an entirely new concept but Gandhi realiz-ed that we must dev.elop or find new ways of facing problems. Gandhi was aware of the fact that all people cannot see eye to eye o'n all issues. The r.eal problem doesn't lie within honest and genuine problems but withjn slanted opinion and selfishness. Gandhi knew that wa1· and violence wa,s not ,the answer. "Hat.e kills! Love gives life." With this idea in mind ·Gandhi adapted the idea' of non-violence and non-cooperation. iGandhi thought that with the p o 1 icy of non-cooperation evil would cease to exist because if good withdrew from a struggl e, evil would have ,to stop. Force is only a temporary squelching of evil. By practicing non-viol-ence, Gandhi contend ed LETIERS TO TH·E EDITOR Thia· column is open to any and all readers for their comments.

Gandhi's policies are helping India to pull herself up iby the bootstraps. Dr. Nayar said that all the ·people of India didn't favor a strict non-violepce policy but there were enough believers to a ·rouse a national consciousness of the Briti1>h control. "The forces of love a nd truth can be used to effect in the 'community and can be expanded to operate su ccessfull y on a larger scale." Dr. Nayar declared that we are .at. the "beginning" -we must ex-p lore d:eeper into the field of nonviolence. India doesn' t pretend to have solved all her problems. However, she does believe that she is on th.e right road. Dr. Nayar recommended that if the United Stat e~ wishes to succeed over communism, we must do "a bit or hous.e cleaning ourselves". This sta tement is directed at the th.eories of democrucy. We must practice demoracy before we preach it to t he world. cause for a troulbled conscience will return the boo.ks he has, close to 100% of the losses will ·be recovered which should be somethinf for the -College to crow about.

In -the first engagement Wilkes ran roughshod over the boys from Northampton street to the tune of 9 to 2. L.efty ,Chet Molley took this win and coasted through a neat performance. John Zigmund, the Colonel ace pitcher, will probably get the call from Ralston to start this contest. If h e does start the contest the fireball artist will be seeking his sixth victory in seven starts. His only loss came from Bloomsburg STC in a close contest. This contest will be of interest in two ways. First the boys will get a chance to 1p.e rform before a large crowd of baseball followers , the old canteen room in th e Cafet eria in to a hat check booth. Dr. Kemmerer told ~tudent government lead,ers, "Things that don't accomplish are not worth anything . . If state governmen t 'J)asses legislation then i.t automatically becomes a larw. But when student government passes a law, what is it? It iis something yo u ,ho,p.e ,wi,H !becom e a la<w or will ha-pp,en,'.' h e ad•ded . He said the University's student government sh ould not copy other colleges ·b ut m eet "our own ;p·r oblem.s." He told the governm,ent represen tatives that it was their job to see that t h e campus was kept clean and that traffic rules were followed . a nd second it will give them a chance to perform on a good play- ~ ing field. Both these factors are of prime impo,rtance to the final outcom e of any game and this one will be no different. In one game last year's 'team played on this field the boys were so surprised at the ·billiard-like infield that they booted the ball all over Kingston and losit a Comedy ' of Errors to Ithaca College. L.et's ho1pe this doesn't happen again. The !orig ball hitters ·in the Colonel lineup like Molash, Dragon, Skordinski and Blankenbush will find the fences that encircle the park VE)ry tempting. Only two Wilkes performers ever hit the .ball over these fences and they were Moose Galletta and Marty Warmus. Both of these raws came in the same year and in the same game. This is the year to add to that number and why not start in this game! If tbere is any advantage that goes to a team for playing under the arcs, then King's will have the edge on the Colonels in this department. The Monarchs played Lycoming College under the lights at Bowman Field in Williamsport last week and •b eat the Warrior nine. This edge probably won't mean anything because Wilkes isn't Lycoming and they sup1port a better record than their rivals. f . Let 's make ~his the la~gest turnout ever to Witness a Wilkes 1baseball game and don't forget your stud ent acti vity pass will •b e the only admission to the ball park. After this contest the Colonels will play ;U psala College tomorrow in a home tilt, Ithaca College in a night game at Ithaca on May 23, and wind up the season against Bloomsburg on Saturday the 27th at Bloomsburg. This being the last Beacon until the fall I would like to relate that it was a great ·p,l easure to work with this year's team and the staff of this paper and especiall y with Vince Macri who w ill join the unemployed in June. ~ ~ • (•j \j , EdUCat0,f D1·scu·. sse's Stude·nt ·Go\i'ernment Houston, T ex.-(I.P.) -" I've always had the ,f eeling that s t-ud.ent government rwas a lost sheep around the campus," Dr. W.

POLIO DISEASE CAN BE DEFEATED IF CAUGHT EARLY The National Foundation for 1nfanti le Paralysis, noting that polio is striking an increasing number of teen-ag,ers and young adults, issued a message today calling for olbiservance of simple health precaution s by college students during the •h ot polio months just ahead. 1 Dr. Hart E. Van R iwir, medical direct-or of th,e Na tional Foundation, said that a spot survey of the 1948 -polio epidemic showed 25 •percent of the patients were over 15 years of a-ge. Of this total, 18 percent wer,e over 20 yea.rs. Local cha·pters have assisted hu-nd•r e& of college-age polio patients during the past year. "·Only 3.7 percent of t he patients were over 15 years of age in 1916," he said. "This ,f igure rose t o seven percent in 1931 and 15 percent in 1,944." The National Foundation listed five basic precautions for the Mayto-December ,epidemic danger season. Dr. Van ;R iper said they are 'based on the March of Dimes agency's .extensive research program and the findings of health departments,.physicians and hos.p ita,] officials . These are the recommended ,p recautions: Keep children with their own friends -- Keep th.em away fr om persons they have not been with r i·g ht along, es,pecially in close, daily living. Dr. Van Riper said many perisons have a polio infection without show.ing any signs of •sickness, yet may pass it on to others. Try not to g,et over-tired -- if you have the virus in your system, he said, .becamin:g exhausted may briil!g on serious polio symptoms. ZACHARY SCOTT Famous University of Texas Alumnus, says:.

Bob Eltus head of the decorating committee stated that this dance will be one of the m,ost colorful !Proms ever staged · lby Wilkes·. The decorations are ,to be in blue and yellow, and the co:mmtitee is planning to have a huge, silvery moon rise ;b ehind the , bandstand. The fact that the dance is in Nanticoke, and on a Friday, has posed a transportation problem for the members of the decorations committee, but they have found a unique solution. Shifts of students are to wol'lk on the decorations. In Left to right. first row: Virginia Bolen, Al Jacobs, Toni Menegus. Second row: Wade Hayhurst, Willard Prater.

New York City. . Claude Thornhill has a long musical background which started when he began to study music at the age of four. By the time he was six, he had organized his first orchestra, an eight-ipiece affair, which played at ice cream socials and oyster suppers in his home town, Terre Haute, Indiana. He continued to .study music at the Conservatory of Music in Cincinnati and followed mh_re of th_e same study at t~e ,Curtis Institute. He formed his own band in 1940 after working as an arranger for Hal Kemp, Benny Goodman, Bing -C rosby, and other orcestras. His career was interrupted in _1942 when he joined the U. S. Navy. The Navy put him and his band to work with Dennis Day 1 as vocalist and sent them on tours of the Pa..cific. Thornhill's classical training shows in his use of two French horns in the brass section. He uses an unusual arrangement of the reed and brass sections where he uses four -trumpets, two trombones, five men . doubling on sax and clarinet, and two French horns.

At present, Mrs, Rosenberg is Program Chairman for the Women · of W,i lkes. W-ith this varied and most interesting background, Mrs. Rosenberg should prove to be a most delightful speaker.

Those interested must hand in a letter of application to Dr. Arthur· Kruger no later than May 18.

Students Asked To Return Ballots All students who have not yet mailed their Cinderella contest ballots are asked to do so as soon as possible. All ballots must be in by May 19. The Cinderella committee has reported that only 450 ballots have been returned, and another 450 are still out. The names on the addressograph machines were chec~ed with those on the student roster and the list was found to •b e incomplete. All students who did not receive a ballot will get one this week. Remember, there are only two weeks left i n which to mail your ballot to the committee. The Student. Council request s you -to select your candidates for Gilnderel!,a and then mail the ,b allot right away, if you have not already done so. Although paid admission tickets went on sale last Monday, Wilkes College students will ·not receive their complimentary tickets for GODDEN BOY until the night of the production, the Oue and Curtain Club announced this week. Tickets are priced at 60c for adults and 30c for high school students. In addition to reducing student .p rices, the Wilkes College theatre .g roup has been traveling to ·many of the local high schools and has entertained the student bodies with several of the Gue and Curtain's minor productions. This policy was instituted to increase the local audience's interest in the legitimate theatre. Rapidly nearing curtain time, the college 1p,layers will stage a dress rehearsal of GOLDEN BOY on Sunday afternoon in the Irem Temple. To be produced on the nights of May 11th and 12th, at 8 o'clock, GODDEN BOY is a drama that presents the youthful conflict between idealism and realism. Cue am,d Curtain believes that this time they ·have a "championship" production and urge everyone to get out and see G'Ol.JDEN BOY. Tickets may be obtained from any ,C&C member or at the door of the !rem TemlPle the nights of the production. NOTICE! Student Council elections will be held Friday, May 12, for ~ext semester's Sophomore, Jumor, and Senior representatives. The voting will b~ held in Chase Lounge from · 9 a. m. to 3 \p. m. The elections will be supervised by the Student Council and the ballots will be tabulat;d by the Class Presidents. �WILKFS COLLEGE BEACON 2 K Editor-in-Chief TOM ROBBINS CHET OMICHINSKI Features Editor News Editor ED TYBURSKI GERTRUDE WILLIAMS Sports tditor · Faculty Advisor CLYDE RITTER MARGARET ATEN Business Manager Circulation Manager News Staff Bill Griffith, Romayne Gromelski, Priscilla Swartwood, George Kabusk, Chuck Gloman, Jim Tinsley, Miriam Long, Dave Whitney, Irene Janoski, Jack Phethean, Bob Metzger, Chet Molley, Nancy Fox, Homer Bones, Ed.

BEERS Coach Bob Partridge ends his 1950 spring practice session today for his soccer team. After a :month, it's all over. It bas been a worthwhile month for the booters. Bob and his rightband man, .R eggie Burrs, have worked· the boys into shape and have put across a lot of the finer points. The kicking has im1proved, so bas the · heading and trapping. Now Partridge is •p lanning to start off the fall in full stea,m. From here, it looks like the 1950 version of the Colonels is going to be a pretty fair outfit. Partridge has seen some good stuff out at Kirby Park these past weeks. Don Tosh, in particular, has ,gotten off some good drives and looks like a sure-shot for varsity lineman. The South American hot tomali, Carlos Ortega, is a regular · cuty with a soccer ball. On days when Carlos is eSlp ecially hot, the old ball even sits up and begs. •Rock y Reynolds isn't too big, but he has all the ma.kings of a soccer player. Partridge is keeping an eye on him. !ck Iokmeter bas shown plenty of hustle for a newcomer and could fit in as a nice backfield man for the •Colonels net y,ear. In the goal, Parker Petrilak has improved every day. Last year's goalie, Charley Jackson, is •b ack, but right now Parker is in the goal and Charley is going to have to do a lot of pushing to get him out. Things are looking up for Partridge. Now if everything turns out as expected . .. 1 ****** There has been some argument. on the soccer team over just who is the fastest man. Carlos has stated over and over again that be can go like the devil. Teddy Cross, one of the cousins of the famed Mr. Norman Cross, thinks that he's ,j.ust aibout t:he swiftest thing alive. Mr. Earl Wolfe disagrees. iHe says that he knows a faster man-himself. But the loudest al'lgument comes from the old •b oy himself, Bob Partridge. So far none of the boys have definitely esta·b lished themselves as the champion. One thing is sure, Carley Wallison and Benny Beers airen't in uhe running. It seems that the soccer team can't do without at least one clown every season. Last year the boys had to put up with the great Mr. Marty Blake-I think you've heard of him. This year Marty is gone and Earl Wolfe has walked in. "Marty" Wolfe would make a perfect Milton Berle--he never stops talking. "Haven't you heard about the time I ran 62 ½ yards for Meyers" or "You can't beat the Yankees; boys." Pictured above are the Wilkes College Colonels who have won 8 games and lost only one.

Piniky, was probaibly better known in high school for his football talents, :but according to reports from stu.dents who played with the Pinker in high school he was far from a "dud" on the baseball field. This year marked the third time for Pinky to report to Coach Ralston as a member of his squad. •I n his first season he spent most -0f the time on the bench as an understudy to Marty Warm us. That year he was used mostly in 1Pinchhitting roles. In 1949 Pinky alternated ibetween second and third base. Toward the end of the season he ,b ecame a regular at the keystone sack and played some of the best ball that was seen at that position all year. This year Coach Ralston had to fill in the hot corner ,b ecause of the loss of Captain Marty Warm us. Who else could he choose but Pinky? ·P inky hasn't let him down either as he has come through with some timely hits ~nd has been playing almost errorless 1ball at that rough spot. The Pinker got a big thrill this year in the game against Keystone College. when he banged out a long single to drive in the winning run. Two-base hits s,eem to be his specialty as he leads the club in this respect. Pinky is probaibly the most determined player on the squad. Coach Ralston can tell you that at times he gets too determined. Nevertheless he is well liked by his team-mates and wm be missed when next year rolls around. Pinkowski, like Alex Molash is a three letterman. H e runs out of the halfback -p osition on the football team, plays guard for the basketball team and third base on the ,Colonel nine. Pinky will leave Wilkes in June with a degree in Commerce and .Finance. Ed Skordinski enrolled at Wilkes in September of 1948 and this year marked his f.irst time to •b ecome a member of the Wilkes baseball team. Ed didn't have too much trouble making the squad because of his natural ability to play ball. Ed currently g uards the keystone sack and is doing a good job of it. His hitting has been good and his fielding has left little to •b e desired. Ed 1played his high school !baseball at Newport High School where he also played basketball and football. "Scubby" also played freshman basketall at Wilkes. 1 To look at his record in ,b aseball around the local sandlots you could easily get the idea he is an old veteran. 1He has played with such teams as Glen Lyon Condors, Hanover A. A., and the Glen Lyon Kanadians. This is far from the truth because Ed is only 19 years old. For the first time Blankenbush and Molash are going to get a run for the Wilkes batting title because already in this early part of the season Skordim,ki is right up near the tOlp in this department. Ed had his biggest d.;!y with the stick in the first college game he ever played. This was .also the o·pening game for the Colonels and in this contest "Scubby" banged out five for five and a walk in six trips to the plate. Truly a great record for a rookie. Ed ma,,kes his home in Glen Lyon CRAFTSMEN ENGRAVERS 20 North State St. Phone 3-3151 and is studying for a B. S. degree in Biology at Wilkes. Skordinski will 1b e around for quite a while yet and this could mean plenty of good seasons of b::tseball for Wilkes College. ****** Al Minarski came to Wilkes College from Plains High School in September of 1949. Al also played the diamond sport. at Plains where he rated the attention of a couple of professional baseball scouts. Minarski was also a member of the Plains football team. Here too he brought recognition to the school by perfor,ming admirably on the gridiron. · This year Ralston was forced to find a replacement for George Brody in the Colonel outfield. Al filled the -b ill nicely and now alternates with Waters at that position. Al was also a member of last year's Colonel football team. On that team he ran out of the half•baok 1position. Al plays his sandlot baseball with the Plains Friendship ClU!b. This Independent League team plays fast company and according to reports out of the club Al is one of their better tplayers. Minarski, like Skordinski, is only 19 years old. He will be around for a couple of more years at Wilkes and this should mean a couple of good season for future Colonel teams. Al makes his home in Plains and is studying for a B. S. in Commerce and Finance. POLICE ESCORT LEADS FROSH WIENER ROAST DAVE WHITNEY Accompanied by a police escort ,and diS1playin1g "Wilkes" signs with meticulously dotted "i's", a merry group left the Wilkes College campus, ignored red lights, and were ·o ff to an evening of enjoyment at the Freshman Wiener Roast last Saturday night. Eating, dancing, and the ingenuity of the A,merican college student kept the assemblage in a happy mood. Because of the cold damp weather, attendance was only about 150 people, · and the entire affair was held indoors, but the students' spirits were not dimmed. Carlos Ortega's announcement in Sipanish, translated 1b y Leo Lesnick, added to the gaiety of the occasion. Special thanks should go to those who helped distribute refreshments, Grace Ruffin, Henri Bush, Diana Campas, Bill Griffith, Jim Gatens, Lou •Conrad, Peter Margo, Johnny Sauciunus, ,Carlos Ortega, Nancy Raub and Elaine Nesbitt. The example of hard work set by Grace Ruffin, chairlady of the Refreshment Committee, stimulated cooperation from these peO!ple. Particular appreciation is due General Chairman, •Leo Lesnick, and the various sub-committees. Henri Bush, chairman of the Transportation Committee, worked with Thomas Vojtek, Irene Janoski and Gerald Blake. Carlos Ortega, in charge of tickets, was assisted by James Polk and John Raykovitz , The Refreshment Committee, led ,by Grace Ruffin, also included Diana ·Campas, Barbara Keatley, Aida Shulmah, Connie Olshefski and Marge Brennish. Elaine Nesbitt, head of the Welcoming Committee, was assisted by Beth Badman, Na ncy Raub, Isabel Ecker and Lois Shaw. -Members of the Entertainment Committee were Sandor Yelen, chairman; Nancy Boston, Delores Ostroski, Milton Stein and Don Tosh. The Publicity Committee consisted of Burl Updyke, Roxie !Reynolds, J,ucille Reese, John Moore, David Parsons and Dave Whitney, chairman.

She will address the Wilkes College students and faculty on the subject " What the West Can Learn From Ghandi." Dr. Nayar is a physician and is taking graduate courses at Johns Hopkins University in the field of child and maternal care. She is also an authority on world health. Because of her activity in Ghandi's non violence campaigns, Dr. Nayar once slp.ent two years in prison. She has lived and worked closely with Mahatma Ghandi, accompanying him on his preaching tours all over India, and actually sharing the last imprisonment with Ghandi ,and his wif.e. Since she appears through the courtesy of the American Friends Association, no adrpission will ibe charged. However, the Committee will ask ifor a contribution at the meeting as a way of financing their Peace Education Program. ,D~.
