The purpos-e of the conference is threefold: to foster the exchange of ideas and aid between the col- provide a means of experimenting in acting and staging original scripts among these same colleges; and last, but not least, to bring back to the Valley the love of the theatre that seems to have wandered afar.

Friday, March 11, 1949 THIRD COFFEE Accrediting Committee To Visit HOUR TUESDAY Wilkes Campus March 14, 15, 16 On Tuesday, March 15, from 3 :30 to 5:00 _P. M., the Wilkes Women's Group, comp-osed of faculty wives and members, will sponsor their third coffee hour on the second floor of the college cafeteria. The idea of the c,off ee hour was brought here by Mr. Partridge who has seen the plan work at the University of Pennsylvania. The _purpose of this informal gathering is to give the students an opportunity to meet new people, talk with the faculty, and to s·ee their friends. Refreshmens will be served free of charge and every one is invited. The Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools will send an accrediting committee to the Wilkes College campus next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, March 14, 15 and 16,_to evaluate the college. If the committee report is favorable, Wilkes will become an accredited member of the Middle States Association. The committee, made up of people prominent in the field of education, will investigate organization, program, student personnel, the library, finance, classes, and will interview students and instructors during the three day visit. Chairman of the committee is Dr. Eugene F. Bradford, Registrar at Cornell. Other members of the committee are Daniel . Z. Gibson, Dean of Franklin and Marshall College, who ~ill be st'.-ldying program; Dr. Willard Smith, Houghton College, studying finance; President Raymond s. Haupert, Moravian College, who will study organization; Virginia R. Kirkbride, George Wasihington University, who will view student personnel; and Lowell A. Martin, Associate Dean of the School of Library Service at ·C-Olumbia, who will evaluate the library. The final report of the committee :will be made wl!.en the Middle States Association meets next April 26. The history of -0ur institution is a credit to the community in which it · stands. In the sixteen short years since the inception of Buckne!I University Junio'r C-Ollege in 1933, it has grown from a rented office building with an enrollment of 155 students to . a college with sixteen buildings and 1,758 students .Wilkes College \3/'as chartered in 1!}47 as a four year college. The j-ob, however, has not been easy. Dr. Eugene S. Farley, our p esident since 1936, has "fought the .g,dod fight" for us from the beginning. Wyoming Valley leiaders Ca l l.

Mr. Vank-0ski stated in an interview that an attempt will b'e made to contact each student. In order to do this, Mr. Vankoski has chosen a committee of representatives from the various organiza,tions on the campus. If any student is not contacted and wishes •to do.n ate blood, he should contact Mr. Vankoski at his hea,dquarters at the library. The· Wilkes unit is the first college group in the community to have such a drive. An attempt is being made to make this the largest gro up in the community. Vankoski stated that all a student has to do to bec·ome a donor is to fill out an application which will be available from any mefUber of the committee. Hospital technicians will TYiPE the blood. Whenever there is an emergency, the ho spital will inform the Red Cross, and the Red Cross will instruct the donor to report to the d'esignated hospital. The donor will receive no pay for his service, but the patient will not have to pay for the blood. Members of the committee are as follows: Robert Waters, George Brody, Art Spengler, Elvira Thompson, Eleanor Kn,1te, ·Clem Waclawski, Doris Gorka, Joe Radko, John Mohan, Naomi Hons, Angelo Pascucci, Sitanley Novitsky, June K.

Trhey backed our school with ·;ns·p iration, work, and money. Although Wilkes as a four year college is still in kneepants, it i~ working hard to correct its deficiencies. The Wilkes College Endowment Fund contains $500,000 and its operating services amount to $104,000. Last year the college emerged with a deficit of $5,500. The college can be proud of these figures considering its extreme youth. Although the qualification for an accredited college library is 20,000 books, Wilkes now has only 17,250. However, the c·o llege i!'I spending $15 .p er semester per student for books and it is estimated that we will have reached the required goal by June. There has been some question about the requirement of a scho,ol gymnasium. There is no stipulated ruling about an accredited college having its own gymnasium. We have already raised $105,000 for a proposed :$200,000 gymnasium to be raised in the futu:r;e on a plot already purchased. . Today, we stand. on .the brink of seeing this carefully planned preparat;qn materialize. Then the accrediting c-ommittee turns in its report -0n Wilkes College, we are c•o nfident :that bhe work and enthusiasm of a whole community will be completely realized and that the college w ill have passed an.o ther hurdle on its trek to matm:-ity.

Frosh Are Vets According to figures recently released by the registrar, Herbert J. Morris, 52 freshmen entered Wilkes Co!J.ege last month. Just four members of the lower frosh class are girls. Whereas only 38 per cent of last September's freshman class were ex-servicemen, slightly more than three-fourths of the most recent arrivals are veterans. However, this does not indicate that veteran enrollment is on the increase, since the bulk of non-veterans enter colleges in the Fall. Sixteen of the new students are · working for a liberal arts degree and sixteen more for a B. S. in commerce and finance. Seven lower freshmen are engineering students. The purpose of the tea is to acquaint high school girls with Wilkes College. Invitations have been sent to fol'ty senior girls from local schools. ·T his will be similar to the first tea, which was held on February 24. 'T he girls will be taken on a tour of the campus ;md any questions they may have aboJJt college life will be answered. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 2 Friday, March 11, 1949 EAST SIDE STUDENTS RUSS WILLIAMS Editor-in-Chief TOM ROBBINS ART RICE Associate Editors GARFIELD DA VIS GERTRUDE WILLIAMS 1S ports Editor Faculty Advisor ELEANOR KRUTE ED BOLINSKI Business Manager Photography Editor JOYCE BURCHARD TOM LASKY Circu'lation Manag er Featur~s E.'.ditor EDITORIAL STAFF Bill G r iffith, Art Spengler, Don Follmer, George Kabusk, Ed Tyburski , Mir ia m Long, A'lma Fanucci, Ch et Om ichinski, Chet Molley, Bob Sanders, J oe Gries, Romayne Gromelski, Prisc illa Swartwood, Bill Hart, Ge ne Brad ley, Nancy McCague, Joan Wal sh, Vince Macri.

BY BOB SANDERS Really, s-o mebody, you can't go wrong! I THE ANECDOTE �WILKF.S COLLEGE BEACON Friday, March . 11, 1949 3 COLONELS LOSE Letters Earned TO l(ING'S, 66-59 By 13 Swimmers Repeat Performance The winrter sports program of Wilkes C6llege came to a rather thrilling, if disappointing, close last Tuesday night when the. Colonel basketball- team dropped another game to its erstwhile nemesis, the King's College court team. As usual, the Colonels lost out when the Kingsmen put on another of their blitzkreig .finishes, outscoring the Ralstonmen 20 to 12 in the final qalrter after the Colonels had battled them on even terms for the first three sessions. Two fellows named McLaughlin _a nd Wawer took personal charge of proceedings jn the last period and ran the · Colonels di zzy with their. razzle-dazzle under the basket. :As if we hadn't had enough from those two in last month's game at the Kingston Armory, Tom and Alex gave a repeat performance- just for emphasis, perhaps. McLaughlin entered the 400's, so to speak, with Tuesday night's ex'hibition, as the slim one has racked up 388 -p oints previous tQ that game. McLaughlin's tw ists and turns under the bas•k et as he shot for two-pointers had the Colonel defenders a bit confus-ed, to say the least. King's Passing Sharp '11hat the Kingsmen have been playing together for three years was evidenced by their skill in working the ball about against the Colonels. Their superior ball-handling had a great deal to do with their victory with John Murphy being particularly impressive a s a c-o uvt smoothie. Murphy _ set up lllany scores with his tricky passes and &lso chipped in with ten points to help the King's cause considerably. Murphy h ad to play t he greater part of rthe game on his best behavior because he was charged with three personal fouls before the first quarter was over. He was luckier 1:Jha_n Wilkes' Joe Piorkowski, who was tossed out in the final s-ession , on fouls, which was a rather severe blow to the Colonels, since Piorkowski was the best man the Colonels had on the floor. Huff, McGrane Impressive Diminutive Paul Huff, whose playing had suffered in recent games because of illness, turned in a good performance against the Kingsmen. Paul had a bit of trouble finding the' range with his set shots early in the comest, but once he go't himself line'd up he poured several long goals through the hoop, and came through beautifully with a driving lay-up after stealing the ball from the Kingsmen. Bob McGrane once again · kept pretty clos_e tabs on Phil Sekerchak, 'the lad who fires them in from all angles. McGrane followed Phil closely and succeeded in limiting h im to three goals. Phillip ended up with 11 points. Only in three other games out of 18 this year has ;Sekerchak been held to less than 15 points. He finished the season wfth 345 points, for an averag e of 19 per game. Herman Bozentka, King's blond bomber, displayed an aggressive style -o f play in the short time he was in the fray. Bozen tka, who played his high sc.hool basketball at :Wilkes-Barre Twp., makes up for his lack of bulk with a tremendoois amounrt of bounce. He's the kind of ballplayer the fans like to see. Swimming Team Gets Good Start Clayton Karambelas and Charles Flack are in line for a pat on the back for the fine job they have done with the first Wilkes College swimming team . Though the team ca n boast of only one victory in six meets, it must be considered that it had to buck exceptionally strong opposition in its firsrt season of competition. The members of this year's sq uad should form the basis for a fine aggregation n ext seas-o n. Flack and Karambelas, both capable swimmers, have shown they are also talented as menrtors. The two coaches and their charg es wrote an agreeable finis to th e season last Saturday ni-ght with a luscious -d inner at the Irem Temple Country Club. As a resul t orf the inauguration of swimming at thi s school the progressive Letterman's Club has been enlarged to the exten t of 13 members.

Jobes still can't believe it. . Tha,t excellent basketball team of the University of Kentucky, featuring no less than four strong contenders for All-America honors, is being t~uted by many sports authorities as one of the greatest basketball teams of all time. The Kentuckians are rated a s being on a par with the famous St. John' sWonder Five of the 1929-'30. Kentucky's record for this season and last now stands at 66 wins and only 3 losses. The Ki~g's College basketball team took its sixth straight _victory over the Wilkes College cagers last Tuesday night at th e King's .g ymnasium, winning by a 66-59 score. It was the closest contest tlie teams have played thus far, wit h the Colonels keeping right up with the Kingsmen until late in the third quarter when Tom McLaughlin, Alex Wawer and Bob Mc-Grane sank a flurry of baskets for the Kingsmen, enabling them to ,pull away from WilkesThe lead changed hands continuall y th:r;o ughout most of the game as the Colonels matched the Kingsmen basket for basket. J,oe · PioTkowski and Paul Huff s-p arked the Wilkes team, with Piorkowsk-j clicking five times on 14 attempts from the floor while Huff excelled on lorig set-shots, dropping · six goals through the hqop to lead the Colonels scoring with 12 points . . Unfor t unately for t he Colonels , Piorkowski was evicted in the fourbh quarter on fou ls. Toim McLaughlin performed wi bh his customary efficiency from th e pivot spot, scoring eight goals on 27 attempts. His play under the basket was exceptional as he . ta!lied several ti mes on tap-ins a nd clever pivots shots. John Murphy and Alex Wawer teamed up with McLaughlin in the fi nal session in some intricate close-quarter passing under . the basket that · the Ralsbo)Ilmen were unabl e to cope with. It was this factor t hat spelled defeat for the Colonels. King's started off in excellery.t fash-jon, jumping to a s~o lead b·ef.ore the Colonels realized . what they were about . However, by the end of the first quarter the ,Colonels had :overta·ken the King's lead arrd h eld a 14-12 advantage. At the half King's led 28-27, and the end of the third quarter found the Colonels holding a 47-46 lead. It was late in the final quarter tha t the Kingsmen began to outdistance Wilkes, jumping to a 60-56 .lead and staying ahead to the end of the contest. :W jlkes coul-dn' t penetrate the King's defense in the fourth quarter and had to rely on shots from far · out. The team depended on Joe Swartwood to pull_the game out of the fire and Joe got off soone good shots that just missed. At the same time Kings was staging its customary fast finish, in pretty much the same fashion as in .the Wilkes-Kings game at the Kingston Armory last month.

INTERSCHOLASTIC PRESS (continued from page 1) the students were encouraged to act in a public relations capacity for their schools. 1lhe students were taken on a tour of the campus before going to t he cafeteria for their noon meal where members of the BEAJCON staff served them . After eating, the stndents returned .to the Lecture Hall and Audrey Kohl spoke on . "Journalism In Our Schools". She said that a sc.hool newspaper is worthwhile because it serves the school, it is the most important link between the schoor and the home, and it bi,ilds individuality· and teaches a sense of responsibility. She explained the procedure of selecting a newspaper staff and. cautioned student editors about. giving a ssignments to uninterested ,pers,ons. T he discussion w as then continued until three o'clock at which time the conference ended . The m ain topics were the selection of staff members and, financing of school publi cations. One student explained that students desiring to join the newspaper staff must write themes and s·p ecial assignments. All schools do not allow the same freedom in raising funds with w.hich activities are carried on. Students who are given more freedom in this res-p ect show g reater initiative.

Three Wyoming Valley girls, 1 two from Wilkes College, have received recognition this past week at the Waldorf-Astoria of New Y,ork City. The occasion was the Kosci'uszko Foundation's sixtee,nth an.nual ball. The girls who received the honors are Dori s Gorka and Alfreda Konopinski of Nanticoke, and Jane Piekarski of WilkesBarre. Miss Gorka and Miss Piekarski are students at Wilkes College. Doris Gorka has r eceived honors previous to this newest one. Chosen as the Career dirl of Wyoming Valley, she received many prizes. Jane Piekarski is a fre shman at t he college. She previously attended St. Ann's Academy.

Spengler The election of Art Spengler as president of the student council at Monday night's meeting was one of the wisest moves made by the student representatives in many months. Any doubts in the students' minds as to the qualifications of Spengler can be dismissed by a brief summary of Art's past activities and his academic record. His name appears regularly on the Dean's list, and in addition to his student council office, Art is an assistant editor of the MANUSCRIPT and a reporter on the ·BEACON. It is common knowledge that the council has been traveling a rough road for the past few months and it is hoped that Spengler will be the man to lead the group to level ground. The council consists of many capable people. They are the representatives of the student body. They can legislate only as the student body wishes. If t!\e student body takes an active interest in the issues before the council, the problems will be eqsier to solve. The council is ready. The next move is up to the students. Vince Macri -In the HOBART HERALD it is wisely written that, "Many a man who died with his boots on would be alive today had he sense enough to sneak-in in his stocking feet." A iHE,RALD writer also states that, "Many a pink elephant is nothing more than a beast of Burbon." * * * According to "T-Bone": . Paul Mason of Drake University says, "Too many college men spend their time damedreaming." Mr. Bone also credits Willi~m Bierman with saying, "his father calls him Bill because he arrived on the first of the month." * * * The '-On Other Campuses' column in the BUCKNELLIAN (which is written 1by a girl) apologetically explains that, "The reason the average girl would rather have beauty than brains is that the average fellow can see better than he can think."

It will be. well for us to watch, the awakening period for on it ·h inges a large part of our future welfare at W:ilkes College. It is the current crucial stage, the rebuilding stage, with which we should concern ourselves. The quality and as a matter of fact, the very existence of the student government of the future at Wilkes College depends upon how strongly ,t he foundations of .the present re011ganized student ,g overnment are built. .

The sophomore vacancy in the Student Council was discussed. The sophomore class president will call a meeting o fthe class this coming week in order to elect a member to fill the vacancy.

Rosamond Gilder has been the dTama critic for the 'DHEATRE ARTS MAGAZINE since 19~4, and she has been the editor of the same magazine from 1938 to 1948. She received the Antoinette Perry Award for outstanding contributions to the theatre. •T his · next speaker is differently connected with the stage than actors, directori;i, or cdtics; he is a set designer. Raymond Sovey was an actor from 1919 to 19,28 when he decided to become a scene designer. Since that time he has designed scenes for many of the famous' Lois De Graw ' Elected Spanish Club President Neighborhood Playhouse and the American Theatre Wing School. Richard Beckhard, the adm inistrator of the ANTA staff, has been in the theatre since 1931. After t aking over the management oI t he _ Summer production of THE MALE ANLM!AL Mr. Beakhard, was rewarded for his most capablt~ job by taking the !!)lay to Broadway. He is the author of the book, BLU:0PRINT FOR SUMMER 'rHEA''llRE, and last season he was the associate producer at the Tnnglewood Theatr_e and the Ma,rtha Vineyard Playhouse. 'l1he purpose of this confet•ence is threefold: ,t o foster the exchange. of id.eas and aid ,b etween thH colleges of E'astern Pennsylvanht ; to provide a means of experimenting in acting, and staging original scripts among these same colleges ; and last, but h~rdly least of ,aH, to bring back to .t he Valley the love of the theatre that seems to have,;, wandered afar. This is a most beneficial mov e O'm· the part of the Cue 'n Curtain Clu1'.J;' i and it had been a dream of this club's director, Mr. Alfred Groh. Mr. Groh has received some very encouraging news from AN,TA. This latter organization is ready to cooperate in every manner necessary to make .this conference a !ll'~" cess. With this cooperation a11d with the fine work being dont by the Cue 'n Curtain members themselves, tbere ·is no reason why, this inaugurational movement shct!lld not sweep the theatrical world of Eastem Pennsylvania with enthusiasm.

STARS APPEAR AT CABARET PARTY Connections For Your 'Collections By JOE ,GRIES +*********************** 1 -.. - , ' ve :a number ,o f reasons for ;; ·, ' g this new type of simple..: music known as be-hop and .r guess this is as good a time as 1.m y to ma ke them known. Jazz, and I m ean the real j,azz., has had all kinds of by-products attached to it a nd come from it by those who had no int erest in the pure entertain1nent ,of music but only to capitalize ·.n th e sense of monetary value, and •o ,gain a little of that so-called Ja m ". Such a ty,pe of music (if t ca n be called that) is be-hop. · Ir I were a sked to define be-hop b e\ieve I would ,say tha,t is a rest, ,;ss, •tfreary form of madness com.p letely lacking any fine qualities of good jazz. To me it is a novelty a nd you ,k now how f.ast a novelty rears off. It is an unreal art form that has been whipped t ogether cru\:lely, to say ,t he least, and has r,o ·r oots or fame that it could use t o exist ·without the help of some oth ,¼r art-form. One might attempt t o criticize j.a zz' for staying the same foerver. · 3 completely wrong. Ask any jaz,z fan or musician and without a doubt in my mind he .will tell you that the jaz.z of the early era was quit'e different than the jaz.z you hear today. They wiU also tell you 1 hat during the. past fifty years ·azz h as ,g rown, BUT within its ,·wn natural boundaries. You know th at irithout roots you can't have a tnee. The obnoxious deep tones of the .alto sax; the screaming, wailing sound of the tenor, and the diz,zy height s that ,t he trumpets .attempt t o reach are all rea l cases for the ·1sy:-ch oanalyist. It is a lot of flm to isten to the claims that the be•Ci:Pin;s make of their noise. They 1,hink it is clever and real. They · hb k fhat it is original, and the [Ut\\l,pt \on of claiming that it is like taye! 1and Stravinsky makes me 1 9U"'l th g~ee. . . . . · ;Qe;-bop rs neither orr,gmal, as · rt s a 4 irect CQP;' of the old jaz·z, nor .s it clever (maybe as clever as two .holes in one's head).

Realizing that I was expected, to give a short, concise, and sufficient definition, I called my mental reserves to active duty and ventured, "Well, it's -a-a new type of jazz that ha,s gained · favor among-uh___..be-bop fans--" That didn't prove a thing except that I couldn't explain the s'tlf.•ff in concrete terms. Sure, I could tell be-bop when I .heard it, lb11t explaining it was another thing. I finally saved part of my face (you'll notice) by promising to 'find a ·g ood definition and presenting same to my questioner. Since then I have learned many things, amorig which ar.e: first, that be-bop is a compositie word delivered from the ' Slobbovian (Lower type) BE meaning "to deliver" (as in honey) a,nd the American slang, 'BOP, meaning "a punch or blow". This means that not only does be-bop "pack a punch" fpr its newly found friends, hut it also has delivered a s·ting.i ng blow to the musical world in general. Trained musicians have always thought that a series of tones, to be music, :had to oonform to certain rules, at least within reason. "Be-bop has changed all that. To illust11ate this last statement, let .me quote several music authorities . and "bop" fans who have given me their estimates of musical forms used in hop, ·a s well as a few pers onal opinions on the subject. I first cornered Reese .P elton in his .g arret in Chase Hall, and he quickly listed the diagnostic characteristics ( or symptoms) of bop · ias: "(1) A series of musical progressions; (2) 'T he use of the flatted fifth (this is its most unusual aspect) ; ' (3) extensive use of trip-,l ets ; (4) No strict quaternary or -binary rhythm; and (5) the occurrence of accented beats ·i n unusual sequences." . That SEiOOND characteristic confirmed my suspicions about be-bop musicians making use of strong drink. Second on my list was Roland Viti, ·a musician fr.om 'way· back, who had the following version to offer: "It is probably impossible to define be-bop in scientific terms. What's more, no one would understand it. Like most music, it can better be understood and appreciated by careful listening. Any re, cording 1b y Dizzy Gillespie "The Father of BeBop" will provide a gocldexample. The listener will notice that · the instrumentalists play weird disonant passages with great technical skill. This I think is merely another aspect of jazzAla-Atomic age! That is, all the rush and confusi,on of present-day living set to music. Be-bop can be inished chords, whole tone scales, a-b sorbed in short orders, but a and flatted fifths, sixths, and ~vstudy diet of it tends to become enths. ' very ~-onotonou~.

FoT further inand recorded be-bop collector, after formation try Dizzy Gillespie's resome deliberation came up with the cord of MANTECA (Victor) or following studied discussion of bop : Charlie Parker's BIRD GETS THE "Be-bop, a new type of playing jazz, evolved during the war years.

And, here are his ideas: ""The term "Be-bop" is more •o r less a misnomer. The avera ge person seems to think that bebop has to :have the lyrical verses beginning and ending with some form of the word "bop". This is far from true in that bop is more or less a series of unintelligible chords, w,i th definite theme or pattern. It is usually piayed by solo instruments such as trumpet, piano, saxophone, vibes, and only rec·e ntly, the clarinet. Usually, if you can't recognize some form of· fast swing, it's bop. This musical idea has pervaded all forms of musical organizations regardless of how commercial they may be. (e. g. Art Mooney's STUFFY). The foremost e:icponents of bop are Herman, Gillespie and ·G oodman (x,ecent). 1 Well, now are you thoToughly confused? Hmm? Good! Then you understand bop perfectly. Let me suggest this : next time you turn on your radio and you think the guy next door is trying out for a position with Spike · Jones, BE PATIENT! !What you are hearing may be hop. Sit down as calmly as you can, and try to find a few flatted fifths (no, not in the ice-box), glissandos, and similar structures: Of course, may.be you're righk-maybe it LS static. At least, all seem to agree that Dizzy Gillespie is one of the foremost exponents \ of the bop style, and that, , some others are Charlie Parker, W,oody Herman, Art -Mooney, Benny Goodman, Charley Ventura, and, I wish to add, Slim Gaylord and Ba'.'ll Brown.

Friday, February 18, 1949 Co~ference Plans JUNIOR CLASS MAl(ES PLANS FOR .PARTY EXTRAORDINA.RY Enter Last Stage Ed Tyburski Plans for the Press Conference to be held by the ,Press Club of Wilkes College are in t he final stage. All committees are working ,hard to assure t he success of this affair. Speakers have been contacted, but as yet no affirmative replies have been received. However, a speaker representing a high school has been contacted, and she will speak. She is Audrey Kohl, the editor of the Hanover High School paper. She was particularly chosen for her work in helping to organize her school paper l,a st year. This year she has been advanced to the status of editor, and she is doing a wonderful job. Her speech should prove beneficial to the members attendipg. For the benefit of those students who didn't read the article on the conference in last week's edition, this affair ·is being held for the benefit of all high school students in this locality. Rep.resentatives of some forty schools have been invited. The faculty advisor -of each pa·per and five of his workers are invited, and over 200 persons are expected. Last year's affair was a huge success; .everybody was well satisfied, especi-ally-the members of t he Press Club who worked so hard to make the affair the success that it was. The aim of t his conference is to give t he hig.h school student interested in journalism some idea of what the working press is like. The guests wiil be served a luncheon at the College cafeteria, and a movie will be shown later.

S. Elliot, Pulitzer Prize winner . MlURIDER IN THE CATHEDRAL is the story of the murder of the martyred ;St. Thomas a Becket, archbishop of Canterbury, who was slain by French knights, followers of Henry the Second of England . .He was killed within the immediate precincts of Canterbury Cathedral in the thirteenth century. Becket, t he son of a wealthy London merchant, had been chosen by Henry the Second to fill the office of Archbishop. Hill only duty was to act as a mouthpiec•e for Henry in religious affairs. · However, he soon became passionately attached to the church, and he defied Henry's unreligious ways and commands. As a result, the followers of Henry murdered the Archbishop. The play will be presented Saturday nig,h t, March 12, in the St. Stephen's Church House. The audience will contain guests of the Cue 'n Curtain Club, m.e mbers of the first College Theatre' Conference of Eastern Pennsylvania, and friend s inwted by special invitation. Unfortunately, at present, Mr. Alfred Groh thinks that it will be impossible to invite all Wilkes College students because of inadequate seating arrangements. The cast is as fo•l !ows: Archbishop, Narci Perkowski; four knights: Evan Sorber, Jack Vale, Robert E vans ,a nd · Phil Nichols; three priests: Andrew Evans, Tom Littleton and Arthur Delassandro: the four tempters: CharJ.es Snyder, William Griflith, Harry Lawrence and Henry Merroli; the messenger, Charles Williams.

Three Wyoming Valley girls, 1 two from Wilkes College, have received recognition this past week at the Waldorf-Astoria of New Y,ork City. The occasion was the Kosci'uszko Foundation's sixtee,nth an.nual ball. The girls who received the honors are Dori s Gorka and Alfreda Konopinski of Nanticoke, and Jane Piekarski of WilkesBarre. Miss Gorka and Miss Piekarski are students at Wilkes College. Doris Gorka has r eceived honors previous to this newest one. Chosen as the Career dirl of Wyoming Valley, she received many prizes. Jane Piekarski is a fre shman at t he college. She previously attended St. Ann's Academy. It seems that no matter what happens in a ny phase -0f social life, Wilkes College and Wyoming Valley are represented at the top of the list. These two young w-0men have been introduced into society as presentees of 194·9, and they are to be congratulated for receiving the honor. J.ndiana .S. T.

On Wednesday morning at a special assembly of students and faculty, Dr. Holmes o.p ened his twoday stay by speaking on "What Is a Liberal Education?" In his address before the student assembly on Wednesday morning, Dr. Holmes stated that "a liberal education does not train a person to travel with the masses, but enables him to stand out from the · crowd." · He said that understanding is needed in a Uberal educa t ion. Subjects of particular importance to the educated man should include biological sciences, economics, literature, music and art, mathematics, philosophy, logic, and foreign languages. Dr. Holmes stressed the need of foreign langua·g e study be.cause we do not realize what an important part our own language has played in our development until we have mastered another lan guag e and can use it as a yll,rdstick for measuring the evolution of our culture. In the afternoon he addressed a meeting of the fac ulties and upper classmen of the Philosophy, Religi-on, ·-<Chemistry, and P sychology Departments, and in the evening was t he guest of faculty leaders of student activities and the stu- Vol. 3, No. 22. dent representatives. at a dinner in the cafeteria. · ;Yesterday morning Dr. Holmes was guest at a meeting of th!l faculty and students from .Social Science Groups, and at noon he was honored at a dinner ):>y the lang uage faculty at the Hotel Sterling.

Split Rock Lodge CUE 'N CURTAIN IN READINESS Site of February FORPRODUCTIONFEBRUARYI0-11 Winter Carnival to a Once again the students of Wilkes and their friends will jour• ney to the Split Rock Lodge for the second annual Winter Carnival which will be held on Tuesday, February 1. The a.ft'air will commence at 9:00 A. M. and terminate with a sport dance that will be held from 9:00 P. M. until midnight. Everyone who was pres.ant last year w:ill recall what a swell time was had by a.II. 1S porling events wrll be held with prizes offered to the winners of each contest. Some of the contests vyhich will be t1ponsored are downhill skiing, ice skating, ice boating, tobaggoning, and jitterbugging. rS kis can be rented cheaply, and it only costs 50c to 75c for the ·use of the tow for the entire day. ' For those who have no transportation of their own, buses will be chartered. Shadrack Jones is in charge of transportation, and reservation must be made with him before noon of January 28. The fare will be about $2 .00, depending on how many students wi-sh to charter transportation. The affair will be restricted to students· and their friends. Some of the dorm students might feel slighted ·b ecause the event will be held on a week day during the vacation, but this was ,t he only day that we could .g et. Week ends are taken by out-of-town reservations; therefore, there was little 1Jhat could be done about gebting a week end for our affair. It is hoped that there will be no hard feelings, and tha t everyone comes. Tickets for the coming Cue 'N Curtain production THE MALE ANIMAL, are now on sale and can be procured from any member of the club. After January 30, tickets can be exchanged for reserved seats. Each student is entitled to one ticket and can get same by presenting his or her student activities pass at the box office. 1Sta.ging of the play is scheduled for February 10 and 11 at the Irem Temple with curtain time set at 8:40 p. m. The fact that Jack Feeney and Norm Cross are cast ·in this play should dispel rumors that they are transferring to Western State College. , As Joe Ferguson, Jack creates quite a ferver on ,t he campus of a western college as he is still remembered for his great feats on the football field. Norm will be seen as Willie Myers, a current football hero who worships his idol, Joe Ferguson. He follows Joe around, helping him off with his coat, ·o r he just gets in the way trying to sit next to Joe when Joe wants to be alone with Ellen. He keeps reminding Joe what .a good player he, Wallie, is, and whenever Joe wants to talk about Jove and other topics of interest, Wallie always turns the conversation to football. Marty Blake, a newcomer the Witk~ Theatre, is doing good j.ob in rehearsals and great things are expected of him. With Marty, Norm, and Jack pitching gags, the play should be a riot. Bruce i:Ma.cKie· is doing an exceptional job of portraying. Michael, the student journalist. It's a good role and gives Bruce a.n a.dviantage to use his remarkable sense of timing. There's one between Paul Thomas and Bruce that is successful liargely because of Bruce's timing. Bruce and Paul are both rejected lovers and stay at home to mourn while every one else g,oes to the football rally. For c-Qmpany they have a bottle, and while they proceed to see what the bottom loo,ks like from · the inside, they talk about the male anim~l. Some of the cracks are terrific. In charge of the furniture is David Jones, who also plays the role of the head of ,t he English department in the play.

EDITORIAL of building a more just and enduring scale of values. Nonetheless we have re-learned the true meaning of the dignity, the uniqueness, and the priceless value of the human personality, which is the firm and unshakeable foundation of Christianity. We are gaining in the u~derstanding and tolerance of ourselves and others. We are making progress in our attempt to make our economy the servant of the people . . . rather than their master. Instead of' relying on the good of necessity and hunger to obtain unremitting endeavor of our working population, we are seeking and discovering more humane incentives. And this is our most potent weapon this day in facing the anarchistic threat of communism which is threatening to engulf the world. We must all face the future with Christia n love in our hearts for our fellow man . .. the common oneness that unites us all.

'T he committees will be headed by ,t};l.ese co-chairme11; Pv.blicity, Joyce -Burchard and Ed Tyburski; Entertainment, Charles Glomen and Henry Merrolli; Decorations, Domonic Alfonso and Jo Ann Davis; Refreshments, Dolly Frable and Chet Mo.Jley; Ticket and Dues , Elaine Turner and Marysh Mieszkowski. Bids were received from several orchesta s. One is to play at the Gala Freshmen Extravaganza. It has not been deci-ded which orchestra will be secured for the dance; it is nrobable that a local band will be c-hosen. Altfuough this aance will be country style, modern music will be played. At mos,t dances the males feel ill at ease if they are wearing a coa:t and tie. Such attire will be WELL-KNOWN FIRMS SEND BOOI(S TO CAREERS LIBRARY By ROMA YNE GROMELSKI The Careers Library of Wilkes College, ,l ocat ed at 164 South River Street, was established to provide t he students with information and guidance concerning- -a-II careers . It is the major tool of the Caree,r s Consulting Service of the College. This consulting service is provided for all studen'ts, not only the seniors. It would seem advisable for students to keep abreast of the current trends in the field for which they are preparing. Someti mes students wait un t il they are seniors before finding out exactly what their qualifications should be. Often it is too late to pick up the necessary courses. The consultation should be a continuing process, beginning in the fr(i!shman year and carried through the senior year. One section of the Careers Lib 0 rary fa devoted to information on scholarshlps.1 fellowsbips, and career possibilities. Information on approximately .1•500 scholarships and feHows·h ips are available. This number far exceeds the announcements found in college catalogues. Some companies require specialized training. Data has been collected concerning these, in addition to addition to those of different fields. In a s,p ecial section , detailed information has been compiled according to sections, states, and foreign countries. Those interested in a career from a geographic standpoint should consult this section. · About 600 catalogues and bulle tins from •500 American colleges are in another ~ection. Another deals with information on Canadian, 'British, Cuban and Mexican schools. More announcements have been provided by 250 schools of lower-than-college level. Subscr iptions to the magazines of more than thirty manufacturers an d profes sional associations have been contributed. Among the p ublications are THE ORANGE DISK, of Gulf Oil Corporation, THE EXCHANGE, of the New York Stock Exchange, and T,HE CENTRAL HEADLIGHT. The Kello gg and Guggenheim Foundations and the Institute of International Education make contributions. Some of the other contributors · are the U . S. Chamber of Commerce, and many state and loca-1 Chambers of Commerce. Correspondence is carried on witfu the various Embassies. Often a large percentage of students in colleges ,prepare for a smal'! percentage of the available occupations. They know little or nothing of the possibilities of other fields or their many' diversitres. Th·e Library shou'ld prov--e to be inv-a luable in -h elping the students to avoid such err,o neous planning. In the past two weeks many attractive offers ·h ave been received fr om various companies. Among them was a letter from the Bank of America in San Francisco. It expressed a need for graduates in the fields of Finance, Economics, Mathematics, Agricultural Economics, and Engineering. It supplies special six month programs which usually begin in Feb,ruary and July. Although the Careers Library is definitely not a placement service, valuable information such as this letter is received often and available to -all students see-king it. unnecessary at the Freshmen Farmer Dance, since he affair is to be informal. In fact, no coats or ties will be allowed. The entertai<nment Committee has been at work since last year planning acts and ga•thering tal•e nt.

(continued on page 2) ' Plans for a Valen.t ine Dance were discussed at a recent meeting of the Sociology Club. The dant:e will be held in the Victory Room of the Hotel Redington during the early part of February. To .date no arrangements have been made as to the orchestration, but there should be news of this in the near future. ·Committees were appointed, with Ruth Lawlor i.n charge of publicity, and Don J-ones supervising ticket sales. Tickets will be on sale this weekend and it <has been suggested that •s tudents purchase their tickets ~arly. This precaution is to eliminate the possibility of their forgetting to do so with the final examinations coming up. The next meeting of the Sociology Club will be held at Chase 'l'heatre, Monday, January 10, 1949. President Bill Lavelle re-. quests the presence of all members at these meetings as important issues concerning all are usually debated. �Friday, January,, 1949 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 2 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 A BOOKWORM'S VIEW ON BORROWED LrNES By RUSS WILLIAMS By TOM ROBBINS VINCE MACRI Editor-in-Chief 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 THE LOG, of the U.

VIS~S/1Pl' 1/i THE~HUB �Friday, December 17, 1948 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 5 SWIMMING TEAM COACHES WILl(ES CAGERS TO FACE UTICA SATURDAY NITE FffiST WILKES HOMECOMING A young lad named Phil Sekerchak has made the most auspicious ,b asketball debut ever accomp,lished by a Wilkes cager. In the first two games of the current season Sekerchak scored a total of 74 points, getting 2:8 against Hartwick in the first game and .p ouring the astounding total of 46 pointers through the hoop in the 77-73 victory over Triple Cities College. A ·check through the record books indicates that Freshman Phil establis,hed a Wilkes College record when he corded those 46 points. As far as can be ascertained, it is the greatest number of points ever scored .b y a Wilkes basketeer in one game. With the 13 points he garnered against Susquehanna University last Monday nig.ht in the Colonels' 50-48 win, Phil has a total <Xf 87 points in three iJMnes for an average of 29 points per game. ,Sekerchak learned his basketbal! at Swoyerville High School, where he starred last year when the Sailors were champions of the North League. He is a slender youth who uses his six-one in height to good advantage. In spite of the fact that he ha'.s always been a high scorer, Phil is not shot-happy. Instead, he relies on accuracy to run up · his extravagant totals. In the iame . against Triple Cities Sekerchak 'got his 46 o_n 17 goals and 12 fouls, and to -s core the 17 twopointers he shot 25 times, which is good shooting in any league. The Wilkes College basketeers go after their third win of the season tomorrow night at the YM,CA gym with the cagers from Utica College providing the opposition. 'Dhe game gets underway at 8 p. m. It is not certain as yet that there will be a junior varsity ga:ine preceding -the varsity contest, but on a basketball floor accumulating nine points only to have an inru:curate scribe take these points from him and give them to somebody else.

Most of us like programs that_ present good listening all the way t'hrough, a,nd when we take time out to relax and listen .to dance music, we don't want to hear a roll call, between tunes, of every other listener within twenty-five miles. Su-re it's a good idea to send in requests for the tunes you like, but why must they insist on proving that each number they play is in great ·demand? In a typical case, the announcer encourages the listener by saying, "And now it's an old favorite for our listeners, and it's going out to Mary E. a.nd Billy, to Millie from Charlie B., to Martha and Ted from " a friend", to Harold and Georgie and all the boys at the glue factory, to Tom from 'Bubbles' (and it says 'with love'), to Minnie, Moe, Mack, Jack, Nancy, J,iggers, Cuddles, Freddie . and Teddy, to the Smiling Irishman and the Happy Hungarian, and -" -and- so on AD INFINITUM until I'm too bored to care wha,t the song .is anyway.

EDITORIAL ' WELL DONE Looking back over the last several weeks of the present semester, we find there is much to cheer about in the way of student accomplishment. ' Members of the football team have brought the school more than its share of gridiron glory with another splendid record of victories. The Thespians have put on a good show with their three one-act plays before pac~.e d audiences. Dr. Kruger's debating team was impressive in its first appearance before Wilke-s students. Finally in th~ schola$tic field we are proud to have twelve of our students honored by being listed in Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. It's a good thing now and then, to take a little time out to take a look at the record and pass out a few bouqeuts. But it would be equally foolhardy to rest on our oars, and try to get by on our past achievements. · 's.:,' good luck to all, and may we all in our own good time prove to be a credit to ourselves and the Alma Mater.

Arrangements are being made to engage seven local colleges in swimming meets on a home and away basis. Like Wilkes, most of these schools -h ave only recently inaugura.ted the wa.ter sport in their sports curriculum. Bloomsburg State Teachers, Lock Haven State Teachers, Shippensburg State ·T eachers, Hamilton Colleg e, Lycoming College, Rider College and Wyoming Seminary are list ed a s prospective opponents. Each meet will be divided into five events : free style, back stroke, breast stroke, diving and medley relays. The distance events range from t h e lOO-yard freestyle to the 440-ya rd medley relay.

To minimize the financial strain as muc,h as p068ible, the lettermen have contacted Mr. Baum, a WilkesBarre clothier, who readily agreed to rent tuxedoes for $4.50 and to be available for fittings from December 1 to 11. As yet, the lettermen have not -concluded negotiations with Mr. Stetz, another Wilkes~Barre clothier. Unlike the practice of the black market era, you will not have to sidle up to -the proprietors and say, "Benny sent me." Now you may approach the proprietors with resolution and undisturbed conscience and say in clear; crisp ,t ones, "Poop sent me." Nick Heinem·an and Jack Kloeber are the co-chairmen for this annual affair: They will be aided by: Joe Gallagher and George Lewis, arrangements committee; Chet Knapich, program committee; Paul Thomas and Norm Cross, ticket committee; Tom Moran and John ,F lorkiewicz, publicity . committee; Al Molash, Dick Scripp, Al Semmel'ls, Francis Piontkowski, Don Blackenbush, Boyd Earle, Frank Evan and Joe Danielowicz, all on the decorations committee. Last year the second annual Christmas Ball, a semi-formal af:. fair, was attended by more than 150 couples, a gratifying turnout.

The girls from College Misericordia have also been invited to the affair. The Wilkes Student Couneil, sponsor of the event, has secured the Jl;lck Melton orchel'.tra for the dancing, which will 'conclude at 1 :OO A. M. The Letterman's Club will give five turkeys to the holders of the winning stubs. This is the first time that the two colleges have had a combined dance following their footbaH game. It is hoped, however, that the affair will become a tradition. Jin the past two years both colh 1eges ave had separate danees a nd invitations were extended by each school to the students of the other. These dances were well attended. This year, with one of the valley's popular orchestra's as the feature and ·the Admiral Stark Room as the setting, the attendance should equal the enthusiasm that heralds the football game. . December I Set As Deadline For Cuba Trip Reservations The deadline for reservations for the Havana trip has been set for December 1. If possible, students and friends desiring to go should have their reservations in to Miss Silseth before the dealdine. The travelers will leave WilkesBarre on December 26 and travel by Greyhound bus to Philadelphia. After traveling by plane to Miami and from Miami to Havana by plane, they will arrive there on December 27. They wm stay at the Royal Palms Hotel. While in Cuba they will visit the Church of Our Lady of Mercy, the site where the U. S. S. Maine was sunk, and the La Plaza de Armas, where Havana was founded in 15'19. The travelers will also see the Morro Castle, its dungeons and cells, which were in use when the castle was still a military prison. It is now used as a chool for cadets. Leaving Havana on January 2, the sightseers will fly to Miami where they will board a bus for Washington. They will leave Washington by Greyhound bus, arriving J,n,- •· on the second of January.

EDITORIAL Discussion and Debate Personal freedom and individual responsibility is the heart of Democracy; and discussion and debate is democracy in action. Men everywhere in the world toil and struggles by hand and brain to gain the freedom of thought and conscience that we here in America take for granted. Countless thousands have died preferring to think and express themselves on their own two feet-rather than to live on their knees in servility. Discussion and debate wherever it may be found, whether among the august bodies of_our legislative assemblies, at town hall meetings, forums, scholastic;: debates, or in the ventilation of ordiJ\ary problems by ordigary !;itizens, is the vital'·pulsation of a healthy and strong Democracy. · When this heart beat is silenced . : . Democracy is dead. I We then join the other mute, sullen multitudes -all around the g \obe, who live in fear and anxiety. People who know the penalty of doing one's own thinking. Families who must endure the· agonies of the mysterious disappearance of loved ones ... ·. l who meet a fate worse than death. And neigh~bors who must shun the . unfortunate for fear of being implicated. Everywher,e there is silence; everywher~· there is the •: gnawing · of help· lessness and despair. , Freedom of speech and assembly to . these ,unlucky people is as health. Only thos~ who have lost it-know its true meaning and value. Now dil'.lcussion and d~bate is the most ingenious device invented by the mind of man for the_,settlement of human differences. It is best exemplified perhaps by our own political in. stitutions. There we have all the outstanding problems and issues located and defined and explored, with several solutions offered by both parties. The people are then given an opportunity to express their opinions as to the best solution by voting. Pre-election differences between us are settled with th1;i idea _that ... since we must live with the other fellow, we may '.1S well be sane about our judgments, whether we be in the majority or the minority. In some other countries in our time we have seen the winner take all! The loser usually being given the choice of cold damp cell, a free trip to Siberia, ·or a martyr's grave. We· have witnessed in recent history how easily peoples have through their own folly surrendered their freedoms, or have had t,hem usurped by a cleaver group of propagandists and gangsters. Every citizen who enjoys the rights which Democracy so generously provides· should also be aware of his duties in keeping it strong and healthy. Each citizen. should consider himself a guardian of the heritage that is his America. • In this respect it is heartening to see Wilkes Gollege doing its share in keeping Democracy alive and vibrant by holding a student forum Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock in the Baptist Church House on the vital issue "Do We Have a Free Press?" The speakers with the able g-uidance and advice of Dr. Kruger have spent the past -several weeks gathering materials and sharpening their oratorical skill for what appears to be a wide open symposium on a very pertinent subject these days. It would be a good. idea to have more discussion and debate I • · along these lines on a n' even broader basis among all the students. Else how is the faculty and administration to know what is on the student's mind. Information should be a two-way affair: with student opinion :making its way to the office of the college president where it can shed light on the problems of the administration and issue ' >ih the form of more enlightened policy-making. Edward Jan Wasilewski a A preliminary to tonight's game unfolded last Monday evening when the sidewalk and :windows of Chase Hall were smeared with red and yellow paint, presumably by _a group C?f King'.s students . Members ef Wilkes' Cue 'n Curtain Club, leaving a late rehearsal, detected the boys at their work. The Kingsmen fled, and after the Wilkes students saw how the property had been defaced, they immediately · retaliated by smearing whitewash on the sidewalk in front of the Northampton Street insti_tution. This bit of landscape arcµitecture was, no doubt. the result of over enthusiasm on the part of the students of both schools. In the past, various stunts have marked .the Wilkes-King's ath~etic contests, but all have been part of the friendly rivalry between the colleges. Even the occurance of last Monday was, perhaps, an outlet for the high spirits thaf prevail for the coming encounter. The natural rivalry of the two colleges is an added incentive for the high spirits. However, incidents such as took place last Monday do not contribute to the friendly relationship that has always existed in the past. We don't like to appear pessimistic, but the ultimate result of such affairs could be the terminaion of athletic relationships between the schools. Both schools are young and we have an opportunity to establish sound traditions that will be handed down by generations of future students. We can build up an intercollege contest that will be looked forward to each year, not by just the two colleges, but by the whole of Wyoming Valley. Doctor Farley and Father Connerton have been working together to cement the friendly relations between the schools. We think that the students could contribute to this by taking an active part in all the activities and ceremonies that go with the annual game, and also by seeing to it that these activities do not get out of hand. Vince Macri THREE WIN IN P. S. CONTEST 'RITTER, W'.ATERS, STEFANETTI TAKE HONORS Winners of the Political Science Contest were announced this week by Mr. Hugo \ Mailey, political science professor. Clyde Ritter took first place with 80 correct answers, and Bob Waters and Anthony Stefanetti tied for second place with 79 correct anSJWers. Prizes consisted of two books, "How To Predict Elections", by Louis Bean, and ,ilipw To Get Into Politics," by · Carlson and Blake, also the September Issue of Political Science Annals, which deals with parties and elections. The purpose of this contest was to arouse student interest in public affairs and elections in order to make democracy workable. That the contest succeeded in its purpose is evident, since there were 175 entries submitted by both political science i,tudents and other interested students. In order to make an entry, it was necessary to · use newspapers, magazines and the radio for reference material. ,Although the three winners, led astray by these devices, and the numerous polls, predicted the election of Dewey., they w ere not disqualified, as the contest also consisted of predictions for the Pennsylvania State · Legislature, Se~atorial vacancies in the Congress of the United States, and predictions of the way each of the states would vote for president. Judges for the contest included Mr. H. V. Mailey, Mr. S . Hibbard, and Mr. W. Farrar. Debating Group to Nelson Bryon W!ll 323th.

It is an issue which has been under question for a long time, and about which all who are interested in our nation's future and welfare should be concerned. It is essential, not only to become aware of vital issues such as this, but also to realize how the answers to this qu,e stion may well govern our country's fate. .

The speakers each wHI talk a limited time, after which they will be allowed to question one another. Lastl y, the audience will have an opportunity to question the speakers. The idea for the forum came to life. last year and was followed by the initia l and successful program. The issue at the first forum was "The Thomas Committee", questioning whether or not tpe committee infringed upon civil liberties. The speakers gave meritori ous talks. However, not enough time was alloted for discussion, and many students felt disgruntled about not being able to question the speakers. The current plans call for aUowing more time for questioning of the speakers by the audience.

Admission is free and everyone is invited. members invite ~v'eryone to atttend and participate in the colleg e for um. 328th anniversary of the signing of the Mayflower Compact. Even before landing, the Pilgrims set up their government by writing this Compact, which is the first charter of a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. The doc~ent was in part, a promise to give due submission and obedience to the laws therei_n c~ntained. The 1!1en who fixed their signatures to this document became the founder s of our country. History relates th~ sufferings and privations that these people suffered. Americans would do well to remember that the "Mayflower Co)llpact" foreshadows our Declaration of Independence, and our .American Constitution. On the monument which contains the remains of the founders is this inscription : "This monument marks the first burying-ground in Plymouth of the passenger of the Mayflower. Here, under cover of darkness, the fast dwindling Company laid their dead; levelling the earth above them lest the Indians should learn how many were the graves. History records no nobler venture for Faith and Freedom than that of this 'P ilgrim band. In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and cold they laid the foundations of a State wh erein every man, through countless a ges, should have liberty to wor ship God in his own . way. May their example inspire thee to do thy part in per petuating and spreading throughout the World the lofty Ideals of o,ur Republic." I CRAFTSMEN ENGRAVERS 20 North State St. Phone 3-3151 '-------------•-..: �_Fr.Jay, November 19, 1948 WILKES COLLEGE BE.i\CON Colonels Vanquish Steubenville, 14 -0 HISTORY REPEATS? About two years ago an impressionable young man on the staff of th~ King's Crown won a certain amount of fame for himself with his highly imaginative account of the first football game between the rival city colleges, Wilkes (then Bucknell JC) and King's. He wrote haughtily of the "huge Bisons" who "strutted cockily onto the field to oppose the small but courageous Kingsmen clad in red." Well, the impressionable youth 1as since been forgotten, but the .· ivalry goes into its third installnent tonight at the same football ~eld at which it began two years ago. At 8 :15 tonight the "huge'' Bisons", now known as "Colonels", will attempt to make it three atraight over the red-clad f0-0tbaUers from Northampton Street. Once again Wilkes will be favored to win by at least three touchdowns and once again it will probably be a hotly-contested game thaf won't be decide<l until the final whistle is blown. Chances are that for most of the game all eyes will be on a squat 190-pounder · who answers to the name of "Poop". That would be halfback Bob Waters, who scored the winning touchdowns in both previous games against King's. The question will be: Will Poop get inspired again as he did on two previous occasions? The fans will be thinking back to that night in November two years ago when Waters took a pass from John Florkiewicz and scored the only touchdown of the game. They'll also recall an October night approximately 9ne year later when Poop blasted through the King's line preceded by two or three Wilkes backs an<l what seemed like a doz.en Wilkes linemen and was off on a 45-yard excursion that was good for the second Wilkes touchdown of the night--the touchdown that enabled the Colonels to emerge triumphant, as a fight announcer might say, for the second straight time .. Tonight's football enthusiasts might well be waiting for The Poop to come up with something sensational for the third time. Let's not fail 'em, Robert, huh? A HOT TIP (FOR FREE) TO KING'S COLLEGE The foregoing belabored exposition is, to be truthful, merely so much window dressing for the point, which comes now. As we have stated many times before, we don't place much stock in one-man football teams. However, considering what has happened in the past The Wilkes Colonels football team put on touchdown drives of 57 and 44 yards last Friday night at Kings-ton Stadium before 1,500 fans to win over an out-weighed but spunky Steubenville College eleven by a 14-0 score. The Colonels crosse<l the Baron goal once in the second quarter and once in the third quarter to win their fifth game of the season, as. against two losses and one tie. Two other bids for touchdowns by the Ralstonmen were thwarted when Steubenville intercepted Co•lonel passes, and two more drives were cut short when Wilkes backs fumbled in Steubenville territory. The · Colonels were not to be denie<l, however, and hit paydirt for the first time in obe minute of the second quarter. The march started in the first period when John Florkiewicz took a Baron punt on his own 30 and moved to the Wilkes 43. With Leo Castle, Florkiewicz and Hank Supinski carrying, and a 15".yard pass from Castle to Jack Feeney, Wilkes moved to the Steubenville 1-yard line. From that point Hank Supinski went through right tackle for the score. Jack Feeney kicke<l the extra point, his 14th of the season. The Steubenville team came closest to scoring in the first quartel' when John Florkiewicz fumbled the open\ ng kickoff and George Brdor recovered on the Wilkes 16. The Barons; who had . evidently decided before the game _that if they were going to. get anywhere they'd have to do it via the aerial route, immediately took to the air. Halfback Frank Cortez, who threw ten passes for the Steubenville tea m before the evening was over, tossed three passes into the end zone, but all were unsuccessful. He then complete<l a short one which went for no gain, and the Colonels took over, ending the Steubenville threat. Sammy Elias set the stage for the second Wilkes score in the third quarter when he intercepted a SteubenvH!e pass on the Steubenville 44. Bob Waters, Castle, Florkiewicz and Supinski all had a hand in carrying to the Steubenville 7-yard line, .. with Waters' jaunt of 13 yards being the longest run of the 3 COLONEL CO-CAPTAINS two years, we have a red-hot suggestion to offer King's College. We think that our plan, if carried out, will give the Kingsmen a better chance of winning their first vietory in the Wilkes-King's football series. The plan, we think, is positively mspired, though it is simple enough. We think that King's should appoint a committee of about onehalf dozen sturdy citizens and charge them with the task of kidnapping the aforementioned Waters, hiding him for a few hours tonight, and releasing him only after the game is safely over. The project is certainly not foolproof, since the Colonel football squad contains 40 young men besides Waters who know what to do with a football, We think it would be a step in the right direction, however. CALLING ALL BARREL PAINTERS! A highly interesting adjunct to the Wilkes-King's football rivalry came into being October 2,6 of last year on Public Square when several King's stu<lents did a not-so-artistic job of painting a barrel gold and then painting the score of the game over that in blue. Needless to say, those students are hoping that a few .Jads from Wilkes will wield the brushes this time in the ceremony that takes place at the !Shown here are Hank Supinski, left, and Sammy Elias, co-captains dance at the Hotel Sterling followof the Wilkes football ,team, which takes on the King's College eleven ing the game. tonight in the last game of the season for both schools.

The supporting cast c·o nsisted of Joe Sullivan as Dr. Higgins; Francis Pinkowski, as Silas Horne; Norman Cross, as Catis; and Jack Vale, as Jimmy Kanaka. The sets were designed by Marv Walters, and Edgar Gartley was in charge of the lighting.

Hailed as Wilkes' most successful affair thus far. Norton, Hollywood's master comic-inebriate, was highly gratified with the applause he received. The popular actor of stage and screen made an immediate hit with t he enthusiastic audience the minute he was introduced by master of ceremonies Marty Blake, gener1 al chairman of the affair. After a ' few preliminary remarks concern' ing his experiences during his short stay in Wilkes~Barre, Norton immediately became one of the crowd and warmly made Reese Pelton, leader of the Collegian orj chestra which played for the dance, the target of his joke attack. Then he gave the audience what they were waiting for, his world-famous drunk act. This literally brought down the house, and Norton retired Wilkes College once again ha s aid Vernall, Edward Wasil ewski from ,t he party with a deafening shown itself as a school of high and Anthony Zabiegalski.

Ole Swish showed up one day totally unannounced, which my good amigo Paul Huff will testify would be unusual for •him, and decided to give the school l.;i break. Par~ing his bag, the one with the sign plastered on . it "I Am Swisher Katz, former AllState New Jersey guard ," he transgressed to the office to register. After he completed the formalities of announcing •to 'o ne and all t hat he would bring gridiron gl~ry and court acclaim to t he school, he proceded to canvass the t own in the h ope of finding some ·iiitting.• ,ite_m qf . wearing a~fy.eI ·to justify his use.

Swisher was ready to go · out for football. On the initial day of his appearance, t he boys were going through a short "dummy" scrimmage, which to youse illiterates means running through P lays without pads on. But that didn't mean anything to the Swisher. He jaunted out on the .ield decked out complete with shoulder pads, knee pads, elbow !!'Uards, rib pads and hip pads. On the first play of the scrim- , · h · d t mage, Sw1s was statione a a guard post and promptly broke through two un-padded Oolonels to half-maul the ball-carrier. After this went for several palys, Chet Knapich, the lVlanassa lV!au ler of the Wilkes line, called for equipment and the boys decided to teach the Swisher a lesson. The Richmond h ollocker broke t h rough th e line and headed for th e ballcarrier. And then the roof feJ on h im. Chet hit him high, Waschko him him low, and Hendershot gave him th e one-three and Barry applied the two. Eighteen minutes later, wheri he was revived, Swisher picked up his teeth and boa st ed l oudly as he jaunted off t h e field, "I'll make the basketball team th e be st in th e land." The court seas on opened wi th a bang, Swisher slipped on a cake of s oap. Wiikes ,was indeed forturia te that it had a: star of sµch magnit ude in · its lineup. But th e Swisher fizzled. It seemed he took nine minutes to get set for a . shot and even that was too long ;for Wilkes. Swisher was doomed to th e bench for the remai nd er of th e season. But Wilkes happened to be playing Rider College in Trenton, N. J ., and fou nd th emselves losing a ball ga m e. Swisher, after th e Rider star forwa rd , Herb Klapprodt, has scored his 21st point, told t he Wilkes coach, George Ralston, tha t he kn e w away to stop th Klapprodt a nd to put him in e ball game. Ralston, flg·uring th e game was lost anyway, inserted Katz and settled back to watch the fun. Swisher stopped Klapp .rodt a lright-wi th a hard right to the chin.

This rate includes round trip transportation, transfers, hotel bills, city tours, Morro Castle tour, night tour and country tour. It does not, however, include the cost of meals. An English speaking guide wrn accompany the party on visits to many outstanding spots in Havana. The travelers will see the OUR LADY OF MERCY CHURCH, the site where the U. S. S. MAINE was sunk, La Plamt de Armas, where Havana was founded in 1519. The night trip consists of visits to open air sidewalk cafes, the slums, and Chinatown. This trip lasts five hours and is the longest. The visit to Morro Castle is one of the high spots of the tourist's travels. The visitors will be shown the differei;it dungeons and cells which were used when Morro Castle was still a military prison. Today it is used as a school for cadets. After seeing the modern sections of the city, the group will make a .c ountry tour where they will have the opportunity to see · rural Cuba. One of the last stops will be at an experimental farm .to se how various plants and fruits are raised. Cuba (continued on page 2) Featured at the Cabaret Party tonight will be the only college dance band in this region comprised of students from any one college. The Reese Pelton Orchestra, known also as the "Collegians", is a twelve-piece orchestra that has recently jumped to a high standing among local dance bands. From an organizi:lltion of students who made possible the first sport dances at this institution in 1945 the group has emerged as a full-scale dance band with a complete schedure of Wilkes and outside dances. At present the band is preparing to open for a threemonth season at Genetti's Nite Club, Hazleton. Also on the docket are a great many high school proms and sport affairs. · At . present the band is concentrating on clear.1cut ballads in a semi-sweet style and a variety of novel and unusual fast tunes. A la11ge number of the orchestra's arrangements are penned by the leader. Tonight, those in attendance will hear music typical of the outfit's best. Paul Shiffer, baritone sax man, will be featured as vocalist. Paul's ri-ch full baritone voice has' been acclaimed wherever the band has appeared. He is truly one of the valley's leading male singers. Sybil Ichter will again hold the female vocal spot. When the four reed, four bass , and three rhythm give forth with "Sweetheart of Sigma Chi" · at 9 tonight, Wilkes' greatest Cabaret Party will be well underway. Further arrangements for the· proposed five-school joint meeting of the IRC were made at the regular IRiC meeting last Friday evening. Secretary Toni Menegus was instructed to wi;ite to International Relati-ons Clubs of King's Colleg_e, Marywood College, University of Scranton,·. and College Misericordia, requesting each school to send a represe;tative to Wilkes College on November 12. The date and top:ic for discussion of the joint meeting will be di sc~ssed at that time. An IRC delegation from King's Oollege had previously approved of the tentative meeting. Preceding the business discussion on Friday evening, Narcy Perkowski, ·member of the executive co~mittee, reported on the ICG Convention of next April. George Maisel submitted the treasurer's report that the College would pay the reg-i stration fee, and room and board for five Wilke College delegates to the Intercolle~ giate Conference on World Problems. No program was planned for this evening's meeting; therefore only a business session is scheduled. NOTICE! Any Sophomore engineerihg student who is interested in forming an engineering society is asked to see either James Morrash or Moses ·s lrotkin as soon as possible. By CHET MOLLY From all present indications, the outstanding social event of the year at Wilkes College will be the Beacon Cabaret Party and Dance being held tonight. Undoubtedly, if all the people holding reservations manage to get there, St. Stephen's Hall will be crowded to capacity. Marty Blake, who is in charge of the entertainment program, . has amassed a large amount of jokes, skits, and zany songs that should bring down the house. THE MURDER OF DAN McGREW, THE SYMPHONLC FIDDLER, the recitation of a few choice poems, and a couple of character portrayals are the main ingredients. Combirie these with the originality that emanates from Marty Blake, and from the entertainment angle alone the caoaret party and aance · should prove to be a howling success. The musical program of all Wilkes social activities has always been outstanding because of the fine orchestration of 'Reese Pelton's band. TheFe will be the usual amount of dreamy music for "the young in love", and enough 'Be~p' music to keep the hepcats satisfied and happy. 1 The affair will begin at nine o'clock, continuing through until midnight. The admission, of course, is free. The only requirements are the spirits of joviality and goodfellowship . It will be a memorable event on the Wilkes College calendar of · social successes. Get there early, and come prepared for a wonderful evening. WEDNESDAY TO BE VOTING DA.Y Spanish Club Mask FOR 'MISS PHOTOGENIC' RACE Party Successful The Spanish Club held a masque20 GIRLS FINALISTS IN YEARBOOK-SPONSORED BEAUTY rade party last Friday night at CONTEST 8 :30 in Chase Theatre. .B y BOB SANDERS The young co-eds and cute chickens of Wilkes College have been thrown into competition and confusion in preparation for the Amnicola Beauty Contest. Twenty females have been selected to run for this honor of honors. The main purpose of the contest is to choose the seven most photogenic girls of Wilkes College. Post catds will be sent to each member of the student body. The student body' will vote for one and will return these post cards to the Amnicola staff, who will select the ten receiving the most votes. From these ten, seven will be chosen by the Amnicola staff. Each of the seven will have an individual picture, a full page in length, in the 1948 edition of the yearbook. The winners will receive the title "The Miss Photogenic of 1948." Ou,r college beauty department has to be built up and the Amnicola staff has instituted a cor:.test which is the first of its kind but may some day become a tradition at Wilkes. The photographs of the twenty selected girls have been placed on the bulletin board at Chase Hall. These photographs are not the ones to be used in the final contest, but are only recognition photos for all to see. Those contending for top honors are well known and well chosen coeds. Among them are Doris Gorka, Wyoming Valley Career Girl con~ test winner, and Janet Gearhart, a career girl finalist. Peggy Woolcock, last year's Cinderella Queen, is also in the running. Here is a list of the contestants: Doris Gorka, Marianne Tomasetti, Beryl Colwell; Marie Stamer, Eleanor Vispi, Marita Sheridan, Nancy Yaufman; Pat Boyd, May Way, Norma Persiani, Scotty Rutherford, Janet Gearhart Frankie Markowitz, Toni Menegus, Elaine Turner, Audrey Seaman, Gwen Clifford, Marion Weltman, Peggy Marty Blake, president of the club, was acting host to more than fifty couples who came for fun, food and frolic. The evening's fun really began at 9:30 when all the couples arrived from the early show. The dance music was slow and sweet with a fast number now and then. Marty Blake added an extra bit of zip to the party when he tried to give instructions in the art of the rhumba. (Note: anyone wishing to take rhumba lessons can contact Marty Blake at Boyle. and Dunn's anytime after 7, Monday through Saturday nights.) The refreshment committee served cokes, cookies and chips as a climax to a delightful evening. Woolcock and Doris Gauger. All votes will be taken next Wednesday, but the seven winners will not be revealed until the year book is published in June. �2 WILKES 'COLLEGE BEACON . able to adapt and train themselves to m~t the new nequirements and qualifications.

EDITORIAL The Departmentalized Mind We've all met him at one time or another. The individual with the limited perspective on the whole of life. These individuals seem to feel that the only things or events of importance in the world revolve about their own person, or their own interests. Granted that we all possess a great deal of self interest, and tend to stress the importance of our personal sentiments; but some individuals persist in playing up their own • • . at the expense of their fellows, be they workers, student~ or professional people. The unl~cky victim of these marathon talkers is subjected to untold misery as he or she listens t0. just what is wrong with this sick old world. And the grand design for sav_ing it from inexorable doom; their own pet aches and pains: that all politicians are crooks; frustrated plans ad infinitum. The narrower the mind, it appears, the broader the statement. And these are not the only offenders. There is another type which is quite prevelant. That is the serious minded personthe kind that is utterly lacking a sense of humor. They go about life with a diligence that is unnatural, and exp:r;ess themselves in the most solemn tones. Finally there are those who not belonging to the above mentioned types become so engrossed in their interests or their work, that they acquire a very similiar attitude. They become departmentalized, so .to speak, in their outlook on life. Instead of integra:ing their personal interests with the rest of life in a sound workable balance, they are wont to interpret life through part of the whole ... rather than the ·whole itself.

This comes after 4-0 years of attempt: The state of Israel exists in Palestine because the 800,000 Jewish citizens there have the armed force necessary for its maintenance. That the state of Israel exists has been recognized by 17 sove,reign nations of the world including the United States. lt was admitted, as well, by Count Folke Bernadotte in his Palestine proposal to the United States. Assuming this to· be true, assuming that Israel is a state, it is fitting that the world begins to think of Israel as a soverign nation. By reason of its existence as a state and nation, Israel is sovereign. Let us now examine the recent Bernadotte Proposal in that light. Count Folke ' Bernadotte had one of the most noteworthy records among contemporary statesmen in working positively for peace. He devoted much of his life to the task. And he accomplished some concrete things. Among them was the negotiation of the German surrender to Russia, England, France and the United States in 1945.

BY-- One of the numerous things that characterized lhe writings of the great W1lliam Shakespeare was the way in which he opened the scenes of his plays. Everything was fast-fast and furious. The action opened immediately. Nothing was included that was unnecessary (at least what he thought was unnecessary). All of the action was immediate, blunt, and to the point. As a result, one had to interpret as well as read his plays, for much was left unexplained. The painstaking work and research that has been undertaken to interpret his plays are proof of this.

An inkling of what was to come was given by the group of cheerleaders who were sitting in Chase Lounge for about 20 minutes before the meeting was called to order by president Tony Zabiegalski. , Secretary Ed Tyburski read the minutes of the previous meeting and the council was ready for new business. Joe Marino, reporting for the appropriations committee, moved that the sum of $46.715 be given to the delegates to the Middle Atlantic States Intercollegiate Conference. A committee composed of Hugo Mailey, Dean George Ralston of the faculty, and Tony Zabiegalski of the council will choose five delegates from the student body to attend this conference. Toni Menegus, who claimed she represented the IRC, wanted to know what the . council's objections were to having the delegates chosen from the lRiC. She was informed that the IRiC was among the clubs not recognized by the newly formed administrative council, and therefore, delegates to the conference would represent Wilkes and not an organization on the campus. Mr. Olshefski stated that since the IRiC had taken the initiative in intercollegiate conferences in the past, that' body should continue to do so. A · roll call vote was taken on Marino's motion and it was carried 8 to 5. Mr. Feeney then gave a report on social activ.i ties. He stated that his committee has been working on a plan to hold a dance after the Wilkes-King's football game. The affair will be sponsored by the student council, and students from both schools will be invited. He reminded the council that foll~wing last year's game, bdth schools held separate dances. Both dances were well attended but one dance would have had an even bigger turnout. Mr. Feeney pointed out that a tradition could be established with' the hom~school sponsoring a dance after the game. As yet, no answer has been received from King's. Joe Marino then ,sraid that num.e rous students had· complained to him that there was no coordination ,:among cheerleaders, that they (the them, has suggested it before, but why not get rid of them-at a profit to yourself? Here's the simple formula: First, make a list of the records you are willing to trade, including suc·h selling points as "very slightly worn," or "rare item." Then , make another list of records you would like to have in exchange, such as old favorites no longer sold, or of a type which you collect. Finally, file these lists, together with your name and address, under my name at the BEAC ON office, 154 South River Street. This column will publish any such lists in the Swap Shop, and who knows, maybe we can arrange some neat exchanges and make everybody harppy! Speaking of rare items, Art Bloom has come up with a real one. It's an advertising disc of about 1932 vintage proclaiming the new low prices of Chevrolet cars at $435! I have thought of taking it to the local Chevy dealer and making him eat it between two slices of bTead, but I still lik e to listen to it and just eat my heart out. While you're weighing the merits of your old records, look for S0METI MES, an old one by Eddie Duchin. Ralph Antrim tells me us has looked from Memphis to St. Joe, 'etc., for that one so see if you can help him out. Joe Gries is looking for the record HARLEM PARADE by Charlie Moore on a Savoy label. M:ayibe one of you can find the record you want in his library df 500 or more. How about a deal? Don Follmer 1 students) believed that some of the cheers could be changed, and other cheers could be added to supplement those already in .use, and that the cheerleading squad was not proficient. James Catnes said that he thought the fau1t was with the student body. He claimed the students were not . cooperating with the cheerleadens. He cited the last pep rally as an example. The cheerleading squad and the band were on the river .common, and there were no more tha:n 50 students at the rally. · · Keith Rasmussen entered the discussion by stating that at the Lycoming game there were three cheers in the first half and only one in the third qu·a rter. He .thought , the fault lay iri the head cheerleader and the faculty advisor to the squad. · Jack Feeney thought · it was everybody's fault. Hte stated that t he band should play more often .. He recommended that a committee composed of some members of the faculty and some studen,ts be appointed to coordinate everyone's efforts. · Bruce Mackie challenged Keith Rasmussen to write the alma mater. He explained that the spirit should start at the top - in the council itself. Joe Marino reported that at the St. Francis game, the students yelled. for cheers and were "rejected" by the cheerleaders. Rasmussen claimed that in the Lycoming game, the ball was on the Lycoming five yard iine and Wilkes ha<f 'a fir.st down. It ~s a Wilkes timeout and the logical place for a cheer. "'I1he team needed a cheer," said Keith. However, Rasmussen stated, most of the c_heerleaders ·were on the five ,yard hne ;yatching the »game. Bruce MaoKie sugsgested that there be an inside pep rally and it be a required assembly. He approved of Mr. Feeney's plan for coordination. Mr. Ralston said that he thought the pep rally was a good one but it could have been better. There should have been a bigger turnout. He said that a plan for coordination was needed. He suggested thait a commiftee work on ideas for the remaining home games. He and Reese Pelton will work with Elvira Thompson, Barbara Hartley, Joe Marino, and Norb Olshefski. Lettermen To Meet Monday To Decide Final Dance Plans Next Monday evening, at 7 :30 the Wilkes Letterman's Club will meet to decide upoh the final plans for the formal ball which will be held sometime in December. Bob Waters, president of the club, urges all lettermen to attend. · Ticket sales for the raffle which . will be held after the Wilkes-King's game are continuing at a very satisfactory rate, according to committee chairman, Clem Scott. "We are well above the 350 book mark", he said. · Tom Moran, secretary of the club, reports that a committee of lettermen have approached various clothing rental companies in Wilkes-Barre and finally reached an agreement with Baum's Clothing' Rental Co., 198 S. Washington S,t. Mr. Baum a-g reed to rent tuxedos to Wilkes students for $4.50. The formal attire will include a tuxedo, shirt, tie and buttonaire. The committee said that any fellow who wishes to rent a tuxedo for t his first Wilkes formal dance can go to Mr. Baum's establishment anytime after December 1 for a fitting. �4 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON WILKES COLLEGE, CHEERLEADERS .

'-For the summers of 19417 and 1Q48 the U. S. Maritime Commiss·ion, at the request of the Departmeat of State, put two semi-converted C-4 ships at the disposal of the Institute of International Education for the transportation of students and teachers to and from Europe. In the S-Outhern Hemisphere the academic calendar is April to December with the summer vacation usually extending from mid-December to mid-March. Very few universities in non• English s·p eaking lands provide any such thing as dormitory facilities.

But JACKSON'S PRECEDENT FOR PRESIDENTS (continued from page 3) During the times of presidential traveling many records have been set ..... Up to President Roosevelt's appearance as champion rail traveler, President T.aft had worn the crown, with 114,5'59 rail miles in his record. Roosevelt traveled 243,827 miles, completing his 399th trip when he died at Warm Springs, Ga. The honor of the longest single trip is held by President Taft when he traveled 12,961 miles on a six wet!k trip. But record breaking is not on the agenda when the Presidential train moves out of its station. The train travels at a m-0derate speed which accounts for the fact that there never has been a serious a ccident. nothing more than an occasional air-hose break. The President's journeys are long planned in advance and there is never any secrecy about them. No information is withheld, time of departure or embarking station. All is known far in advance that when ready to leave all aboard know each other and are quite familiar with everyone. When a train trip is seen on the horizon, D.e wey Long swings into action.

Nothing ever is lacking, so when it comes to train travel you can still be right and be President. · (Ed. note: This information comes to the BEACON compliments of the Wilkes College Careers Library.) the part that really struck home , was the second paragraph of the story which read, quote: "Frank Anderson and Donald Rau, gears of the present yearbook staff who have done so much inspiring work in the past, are co-planners fo·r the occasion, and gave impetus to the idea after realizing that Wilkes coeds needed some recognition for their beauty other than through the usual hum-drum business of 'queen-pickings'."

The girls ' approved. The question of the jackets was brought up. Although there are 50 ordered, the company claims the order is not big enough to sell them at a discount rate. The jackets will cost approximately $14 and an added fee for the emblem. The order will be fulfilled within three weeks. November 19 has been chosen as the date for the sorority dance. Dimce ·b ands were suggested and Russ Andaloro re<:'3ived the majority of votes. Plans for the affair are as yet incomplete.

The president, Evelyn Penalagon, suggested the girls make favors at the meetings, and at Christmas time give them to the hospitals, or fill stockings for the April-Breakfast party to be held on Chase lawn. Much work will be involved to make the affair a suecess. April-A hay ride with a welnie roast afterwards. April-A bridge party.

At this point in the meeting, the ' question arose as to whether the senior girls should get pins. The girls have about $200 in the treasury which was raised a few years ago to buy pins.

Colonels, 7-7 Record; Plans Active Semester 1 By BILL APFELBA UM The Wilkes College Colonels played a tie game with the Mountaineers from Mansfield last Saturday afternoon at Mansfield, the game ending in a 7-7 score. Wilkes led by John Florkiewicz, crossed the Mansfield goal line in four minutes of the first quarter, then limited the Mansfield team to one touchdown to earn the tie. Wilkes kicked off to the Mansfield team, and when the Mountaineers got nowhere Wilkes took over on its own 40-yard line. With Florkiewicz, Pinkowski and Waters carrying, the Colonels rolled to the Mansfield 4 on ten ground plays. From that point Florkie·vicz went through center for the "ore. Jack Feeney kicked the exa point. A sensational Burian-to-Dokas 1ss that was good for 67 yards 1ve Mansfield its score in the cond quarter. Leo Castle had .. ,.::ked out on the Mansfield 22. Burian carried for eleven yards for a first down on the Mansfield 33, then tossed a long pass to Pete Dokas, of Hanover Township. The pass, thrown by Burian · from the Mansfield 25, went 45 yards through the air, • Dokas •catching it on the Wilkes 30. He caught it over his ' shoulder and went on to score. Tackle Tony · Dombroski kicked the extra point. The p~sing attacks· of both teams were hampered ·considerably in the second half because of the steady downpour of rain. On the last play of the game Jack Feeney attempted to kick a field goal .from the Mansfield 30-yard line, but the kick was short of the mark. Wilkes rolled up 10 first downs to Mansfield's eight, and gained a total of 165 yards, compared to Mansfield's 186. The Colonels completed three passes out of eight attempts, while Mansfield tossed seven and made good on four of them.

('.I' for, Terrific) Dyback, an attraction featuring Marty (serutan yob) Blake, with a guest artist, Sandy Menta, and a number by Arvilla Travis. It has been reported from a relialble source that Joan Walsh will do her hair-raising act. Nick Dyback will present, as an added at. traction, that unforgett3ble and heart-warming ballad "The Murder of Dan McGrew." In addition, many entertainment surprises will be on the agenda that evening. . The refreshment committee has promised to present' enough appetizing food so that no one will go away from the ,dance hungry. The committee also announced that there will be a variety of beverages offered at the dance. Ted Wolfe, editor of the Beacon, grasped the idea for the dance some time ago, and since that time has been working constantly on the plans. Just recently, the completion of the pl11ns was made, -and the realization of the idea became evident. Marty Blake was named general chairman of the committees. Chairman Blake has asserted that there will be more music, more !)ntertainment, more dancing, more refreshments, and more of everything in this event than in any other activity on the Wilkes campus before or after the 30th of October, 1948. The committees for the <lance are as follows: Refreshment committee, Don Lennon, Romayne Gromelski and Bob Sanders; House and decorations committee, Ed Tyb11rski, Pris_cUla Swartwood and Russ Williams; Entertainment committee, Marty Blake, Bill Griffith 'and Vince Macri.

This group of twelve fine musicians has already made two appearan.ces this year at Wilkes sport hops and are to be the featured · artists at Genetti's Nite Club, Hazleton every Saturday night beginning November 13. Using original arrangements by the leader and featuring a smooth semi-sweet style the band has made rapid strides in improvement, and this year is slated to be one of Wyoming Valley's leading dance aggregatio ns. The 1948 edition ·of the band boasts three trumpe ts, trombo.rie, four tenor, alto, and baritone sax men who double on clarinet, bass, drums, and piano. Featured with the orchestra are two fine vocalists. Paul Shiffer, who plays tenor-baritone in the band, has done remarkably well in appearances so far and can be counted on for -consistently good work. His voice is a pleasant baritone and his enunciation is good. Sybil Ichter, who handled the female 19cals last year is again with / the orchestra. In addition to these soloists the orchestra boasts a fine chorus, which those who attend the function will hear on such novelties as "Last Nite On The Back Porch" and "Hair of Gold." Featured instrumentalists include Sammy Reese, who will be featured on the alto sax in Ray Noble's sensational "Harl!!m Nocturne," Carl Messinger who hand~s the tenor solos, Leon Gilbert on trombone, and Bob Levine on trumpet. This year's addition to the brass section has greatly improved the depth of that section, and the intonation of the entire band has been greatly smoothedout. Many musical surprises are promised to those who enjoy both dancing ,and musical entertainment. The new theme, "Sweetheart of Sigma Chi" is designed to mean the best of dance music. ROBERT GREEN Noted Psycholo'ist To Speak At Next Assembly Pcrograrh. ~ , ·'RicE . . 13y..... AtfT Robert Green. Execµtive Director of the Institute of Contemporary Ads at Washington, D. C,, will be the speaker at asl:!embly next Tuesday, October 26. His . topic, "The Psychology of Motivation," shows that Mr. Green is a psychologist. His vocational experiences range from prison psychologist at Jackson Prison, Michigan, to counselor to juvenile delinquents. After completing his preparatory education in New York, Mr. Green studied at Harvard. As a special student he won the Gideon A ward for graduate studies and continued his education at the University of Michigan. Later. at that University, he taught criminology, juvenile delinquency, social psychology, and the phychology of the modern novel and play , He wrote his master's thesis after doing research on child phychology in a summer camp for maladju!!ted children. During the peace-time draft, Mr. Green worked with Dr. William Derbyshire of Harper Hosp.ital, Detroit, to evaluate the eligibility for s~rvice of men with head i-n juries or a history of fainting. This was d·one with the aid of electroencephlography, which measures brain waves. While America was at war, recently, Mr. Green served in several ca:(!)Rcities in the Army Air Force. He set up an academic training program for illiterate soldiers and established a consultation service to aid servicemen with psychiatric problems. In addition, Mr. Green lectured to servicemen on problems of psychological adjustment and he organized Group Psycho-Therapy in a number of Army hospitals. Upon leaving the Army he was given a meritorious award for excellent service as a psychological consultant and le~tvrer. It is evident that Mr. Green believes in practical experience, for he accqmplished most of his ,'<raduate . work on field work assignments. Mr. Green had be.en scheiuled to speak at a previous assembly program but was unable to appear at that time. Wilkes College Lettermen held their annual election of · officers at a meeting and smoker held last Monday evening in Chase 1 Hall. The following people were elected to offices in the letter winners organization: President, Bob Waters; Vice President, Alex Molash; Secretary,~ Tom Moran; Treasurer, Chester Knapich. Gerrard Washco and John Florkieiwcz. were elected to the Executive Committee. ' Bob Waters, 'who has . been . a member of the club since its inception in February of 1947, is well known for his footba}l and baseball accomplishments. In 1946, Bob was co-captain of the first Wilkes College football team. That was the year in which Wilkes had its first undefeated season. Waters will be remembered as the boy who was responsible for the two defeats that King's College has suffered at the hands of the Colonels. Bob also played in center field on the 1947 baseball team. After the election of officers last Monday, a .business meeting under the guidance of the new officers was held. · Plans for this year's Christmas Dance were discussed . One of the points raised was the question of whether or not this dance should be strictly formal, or as in past years, a semi-formal affair. It was decided to take a poll of the students to find out whether or not the students themselves want a formal or semi-formal.· The coming Wilkes-King's game will have an added feature when the Wilkes Lettermen will chance off five turkeys at the halftime. Further plans will be /1.iscussed at a meeting to be held in Chase Hall Lounge this coming Monday evening at 7:30. ,All members of the club are requested to attend. NOTICE! Correction, Please In last week's Beacon, the title of one article was · "Girls Refurbish Chase Penthouse." Some readers thought the word should have been "refurnish." However, "refurbish" was correct, since, according to Webster; it means "to renovate." Frank Anderson and Donald Rau, gears of the present yearbook staff who have done so much inspiring work •in the past, are co-planners for the occasion, and gave impetus to the idea after realizing that Wilkes coeds needed some recognition for their beauty other than through the usual hum-drum business of "queen-pickings." Twenty girls from the Wilkes campus are to be chosen as semifinalists and notified by the yearbook illstaff, who will act as the board of judges. Cards bearing the names of these finalists will be mailed to all students, who will check one name on the card and drop the card in a ballot box located at a convenient· spot on the campus. The ten girls receiving the most votes will be the finalists. From this group not one, but seven girls will be na_m ed the .pi::ettiel}t . Wilkes coeds.· The names of the final seven beauties will not be re, vealed until the June '49 edition of the "Amnicola." In that issue of the yearbook, a full-page. picture of each of the seven will appear. The pictures of the ten finalists will be taken by a professional photographer from New York city, and the final seven will appear in a special section of the yeabrook. The board of judges will select the seven contest winners. However, the pictures of all twenty contestants will appear in the yearbook, though only the seven winners will be given full-page pictures. Ballot-postcards will be sent to the students next week, and voting will take place on Wednesday, November 17. The entire undertaking promises to be a novel and interesting- affair, and it is requested that all students give it their whole-hearted supporl. Tl\e board of judges is comprise.d of students who are very wellknown and respected about the campus. Hon!)sty and fair play in selecting finalists and winners have been guaranteed, and the possibili- . ties of all contestants will be carefully and thoroughly studied. To prevent "stuffing" of the ballot box, all cards will bear a number designatin1; Jne person cniy,' ths! one who is su;1,a1itting th,i Yote. ·Choral Club To Plan Yule Show A recent meeting of the Choral Club was held for the election of officers.

EDITORIAL The Departmentalized Mind We've all met him at one time or another. The individual with the limited perspective on the whole of life. These individual~ seem to feel that the only things or events of importance in the world revolve about their own person, or their own interests. Granted that we all possess a great deal of self interest, and tend to stress the importance of our personal sentiments; but some individuals persist in playing up their own . • . at the expense of their fellows, be they workers, student~ or professional people. The unlucky victim of thes~ marathon talkers is subjected to untold misery as he or she listens ta. just what is wrong with this sick old world. And the grand design for sav_ing it from inexorable doom; their own pet aches and pains; that all politi• cians are crooks; frustrated plans ad infinitum. The narrower the mind, it appears, the broader the statement. And these are not the only offenders. There is another type which is quite prevelant. That is the serious minded personthe kind that is utterly lacking a sense of humor. They-go about life with a diligence that is unnatural, and exp:r;ess themselves in the most solemn tones. Finally there are those who not belonging to the above mentioned types become so engrossed in their interests or their work, that they acquire a very similiar attitude. They become departmen!alized, so .to speak, in their outlook on life. Instead of integra:ing their personal interests with the rest of life in a sound workable balance, they are wont to interpret life tbrough part of the whole ... rather than the whole itself. Now the people who most frequently adopt such a limited ·perspective seem to be scientists-and you guessed it-professors. Scientists are continually bewildered by the versatile use of their discoveries. They themselves, it seems, almost naively go about laboring for the betterment of mankind whereas their inventions are utilized in a sense which they coulcl have barely imagined. Many have died of broken hearts as they witnessed the perversion of their honest inventions. As for professors, if the student be allowed to unburden a legitimate gripe, no doubt the most oft-mentioned would be that of short-sighted professors. Those who have come to think the subject they are teaching is by far the most important in life, while all the others have been secondary, or .e ven pale into insign·ficance. These same professors usually sacrifice quality for quantity in the work _they require. This not to disparage these professors. Tlley are counted among the best-and the most esteemed. But they become so absorbed in their subject, that they either lose sight of, or the importance of, integrating their own teachings with life in general. Modem life in all its complexity, . and increasing interdependence of individuals upon each other, is demanding a mentally adaptive type of personality rather than the specialized individual of yesteryear.

This comes after 4-0 years of attempt; The state of Israel exists in Palestine because the 800,000 Jewish citizens there have the armed force necessary for its maintenance. That the state of Israel exists has been recognized by 17 sove;reign nations of the world including the United States. It was admitted, as well, by Count Folke Bernadotte in his Palestine proposal to the United States. Assuming this to· be true, assuming that Israel is a state, it is fitting that -the world begins to think of Israel as a soverign nation. By reason of its existence a s a state and nation, Israel is sovereign. Let us now examine the recertt Bernadotte Proposal ·in that light. Count Folke Bernadotte had one of the most noteworthy records among contemporary statesmen in working positively for peace. He devote<l much of his life to the task. And he accomplished some concrete things. Among them was the negotiation of the German surrender to Russia, England, France and the United States in 1945. On the basis of his record he was chosen United Nations medi ator for Palestine. Let us turn to a consideration of his proposals: The Bernadotte proposals are, in the main, these: (1) That the Negeb Desert be· ceded to the Arabs; that Israel get Western Galilee. (2) That the city of Jerusalem be placed under international control. (3) That the port of Haifa be made a free city.

Wallace seems to be running a high political fever -just as are a number of other citizens along about this season of the year. Well, we are all engaged in doing a little politicking our. selves from time to .time i.e., persuading others to our point of view. And if Mr. Wallace should attempt the same-that is his privilege, so long as it remains on the level of peaceful and legitimate persuasion. There are, unfortunately, other means of gaining the same end---as surely any thinking adult must be aware. Now there are many who disagree with Mr. Wallace's viewpoints on many things, and have expressed their feelings in a ,variety of ways ... some not too complimentary. · There is no doubt that Mr. Wallace is a sincere American expounding his honest convictions, and as such he should be permitted to have his say-unmolested. The electorate in this free country is under no compulsion to vote one way or another. We may listen to a candidate or we may not. We may vote for, him or we may not. Therefore, we should conduct ourselves as citizens worthy of that high honor. College students traditionally\ have been wont to wax enthusiastically for or against political issues and personalities, and it is therefore quite important that the students of this institution on October 20, when Mr. Wallace speaks at Kingston Armory, express their good sportsmanship by refraining from any demonstrations that could be classed as un-American. Let's set an honest example, of practising what we preach. Edward Jan Wasilewski On Borrowed Lines By RUSS WILLIAMS Al Spivak rem1mscing in his "Zot Hoot" column, which appears in the Temple University News, recalls the following frosh poem: • My <link and I are just like that, I'm never seen without the hat, And yet, despite wnat others think, i'd rather wear the k.i tchen sink Than wear my little freshman <link. * * * This joke, which must have been referring to one of the larger' lecture classes, appeared in the "Off the Cuff" column in the Drake Times-Delphic. First Coed: "Why didn't you find out who he was when the professor called the roll ? " Second Coed: "I tried to, but he answered for four different names."' * * * Bob Gittins, of Drake University, defines a student council as "a body of students surrounded by faculty." Jim Sahl of the same university says "a univeTsity is a college with a stadium seating over twenty thousand." The dance promoters at the University of Buffalo and Duquesne University have coined some new names for their big events. The engineers at the former university presented "The"' Slide Rule Slide" * * • and the Journalism Association at Duquesne held a "Harvest Shmoon Clyde Steele, photographer for Ball." The Parthenon at Marshall College, * * * has this to .say about his subjects: "Sullivan Suggestions", a column "Very few men look like Robert in the Temple University News dealing with "books of interest to Taylor, and even fewer women look students", lists a book which might like Lana Turner; but a good many be recommended to the new mem- persons seem to thi11k their photobers of the student council.

Between the A. M. sessions of class, the boys could be identified only hy the covers of the books which encircled their faces as they studied intensely for the initial tests of the semester. Only the turning of pages or the cribbling of pens and pencils could be heard while the usual bangs and bumps of pool balls were noticeably absent . .Between the P. M. class sessions, however, the urge for solitude was powerfully overshadowed by the sporting tendencies of our members as they huddled together to listen to the slants of Mel Allen and Jim Britt and the description of the World's Series of 1948 ... .During one of these descriptions, a Wilkes ,p rofessor entered our premises and could not help noticing the encircled mass. His remarks against the gathering drew the unanimous assumption that dice, and not the aging battery radio, was the cause of the gathering. This, sir, is a false assumption and interpretation of the integrity of the lounge members . We are sportsmen but confine our interests out side of gambling. A note of interest pertaining to the seeries found amid the lounge members Des!!lite the sad set of papooses that Cleveland sent to Wilkes-Barre this year, Walt Hendershot seemed to be the only real threat of resentment to be found. Maybe we should classify the local Cleveland rooters as "Indian Braves" with the Indians, of course, predominant. * * * Tuesday, October 12th, was designated "E" day in reference to the 11tudent council election. Not only did it bring new members to the council, but it also created a new and unique method of advertising, Headlines such as "Do You Know Marty Blake" and . "Did You Get An A in World Lit' Last Semester" confronted the students as they moved from class · to 'class. Lists of candidates followed the headline. W'e do not believe that such absurdities as the· two previously mentioned adhere to good advertising principles. We will admit, however, that the uniqueness of both lines did draw attention. Attention veterans and non-veterans! ! Anyone wishing information concerning Reserve forces, please contact Harry Black, the Nav~l Reserve's only sergeant. Harry, at one time, was a regular attendant at the meetings, but his a·bsence of late can be accredited to the enactment of an I. D. card system in which he played a vital role.. From Pinky Pinkowski comes this tale: He and Jack Vale did not attend Masses last summer and so have not received su:bsistance checks as yet this semester. They will probably have to wait until the first of November for such payments. This lack of funds was the chief topic of cqnversation as Jack and Pinky ambled down South Main Street last week. Interrupting their gripes, a beggar walked up to Jack and pleaded, "Say Bud, you got a dime for a cup of coffee?" ",Gee, Mac, I haven't," replied Vale, but don't worry a,bout me. I'll get along 'till the first of the month somehow." . A science professor asked one of our more brilliant freshmen this question. What happens when a body is immersed in water? Typical of freshmen intelligence came this answer: "Sure. prof, the telephone rings." We -feel sure that the Letterman's Court of Honor will see to it that justice prevails in the case of this· character. ....'Don't marry for money; you can borrow it cheaper .

"Include Milk in Your Daily Lunch" CRAFTSMEN ENGRAVERS * 20 North State St. Phone 3-3151 �4 Friday, October 15, 1948 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON ~PORT ~HOTS By GARFIELD DAVIS Beacon Sports Editor WILKES WINS SECOND Things are looking up. The Wilkes College football team is looking more and more like the ~ilke_s teams of old. After dropPlng its first two games this year by scores which were anything but close, the Colonels began clicking uwo weeks ago at Oneonta, N. Y., against Hartwick College, winning the game, 14-6. Last Saturday, at Doylestown, Pa., .the team improved on that performance, taking its second victory of the season on a 28-13 win over the National Agricultural College eleven. The game was highlighted by some sparkling runs by the Wilkes backs, who, prior to this game, had not been performing this season with their customary efficiency. However, against the Aggies 't he backs turned in an interesting perform_a nce, featuring a 60-yard run by Leo Castle that was good for Wilkes' ,t hird touchdown. Castle also had another good day in the kicking department, getting the best of the punting exchanges which took place whenever the teams weren't busy scoring touchdowns. Francis Pinkowski and Bob Wat. ers also showed plenty of power and speed when carrying the ball. Pinky scored what would have been the first touchdown of the game if it had not been called back because of Wilkes clipping. Nothing daunt-ed by that turn of events, he went over for two that counted later in the game. Both scores came on plunges from the 4-yard line. Pinkowski set one of them up when he intercepted an Aggie ,p ass and carTied it to the farmers' 30-yard line. Bob Waters, who had· been hampered by an injury received in the Bloomsburg game, performed like the Waters of old against the Aggies. "Poqp" shook himself loose on a 27-yard sprint that preceded Castle's 60-yard excursion in the third quarter, and he set the stage for another score when he snared a Leo Castle pass. . It almost goes without saying t hat the Wilkes line played excellent football. It limited the Aggjes to four first downs, and at one point in the game, after the Aggies · had .tried to penetrate the Wilkes line for three downs, they found that it was fourth down and 16 yards to go for a first down, which provides a pretty good example of the kind of a ball game the Wilkes linemen were playing. M.AN:SFIELD NEXT WEEK Next Saturday afternoon might well be a pretty rough one for the Wilkes footballers and fans, for on that day the Colonels take on Mansfieeld . State Teachers College, at Mansfield. The embryo teachers feature a line-up that is composed almost exclusively ·of players from Wyoming Valley, and a former G. A. R. High School football coach Ted Casey. · ' Most of the linemen are from Wilkes-Barre, and most of them are big, The backfield is loaded with capable footballers, notably Nello Burian, Joe Cunningham Ed Netski, Bill ' Conwell, Jerry M~Eneny and Francis Bradshaw, all of Wilkes-Barre, and Tony Amendola Hanover Township. The team lost a valuable performer when end Joe Harrington went out of action with an injured leg, but still has three outstanding wingmen in Ed .Johnson, Joe W.alsh and Francis Bromfield. Walsh, from Plains, won recognition in 1946 as one of the best ends in the state. Mansfield recently played a hardfought game with Bloomsburg State Teachers College, losing by a 7-0 score. The team showed its power, however, two weeks ago against Indiana State Teacher's College, winning the gaipe, 27-0. WILKES FORTUNATE WITH KICKERS One thing that can never be taken from the Colonels is that they never fail to come up with several good kickers each year, both punters and extra-point specialists. Last year Bill Johns doubled as a burly fullba-ck and punter extraordinary, and the year before Ed Nattras took care of the extra-point department, missing very few of his tries. John consistently got off kicks that went 60 yards or more, and he was amazingly efficient at coffin-corner kicking, often booting the ball out of bounds inside the opposing team's five-yard line. This year, with Johns gone, Leo Castle has taken over as punter, and after a slow start, is getting plenty of distance on his boots. End Jack Feeney took over Nattras' job of kicking extra points, and so far has a record of six out of six, not bad in any league. A few more successful boots and Jack will doubtless be known as Automatic Jack Feeney. Wilkes Ploughs r.:=====THE Farmers. 28-13 Sporting World I By BILL APFELBAUM The Wilkes College football team won its second game of the current season at Doylestown, Pa., Saturday afternoon, beating the National Agricultural College team, 28-13. The WiJkes offensive, which came to life the week before against Hartwick College, also clicked in this game, the Colonels scoring on the second play of the game from scrimmage. Jack Feeney kic~ed ·off to get the game underway, and when the Aggie ball carrier fumbled, George Lewis recovered for Wilkes on the Aggie 25. Runs -b y Castle and Pinkowski pushed over the touchdown, but it was called back because of Wilkes clipping. The 15-yard penalty put the ball on the Aggie 19yard line. At this point Leo Castle hit the line for four yards then passed to Jack Feeney in t he end zone for the first touchdown. Feeney kicked the extra point. Francis Pinkowski scored the second Wilkes touchdown in the second period on a line buck from the four -yard line. The Aggies scored their first touchdown in this period when one of their backs broke loose on a 25-yard run. Leo Castle, who turned in a sen sational 79-yard r un against Hart wick last week, got loose in the third quarter and dashed 60 yards for the third Colonel touchdown As in the Hartwick game, the long run was made possible by the exceHent blocking Leo received from his mates; no Aggie tackler came even close to Leo on his long-di stance jaunt. Notable in the game was the ex cellent play of th e sturdy Wilkes line, which played excellent football, end to end. Guard George Lewis did double duty in helping the line break up the Aggie plays and r ecovering Aggie furn bles as well. Lewi s made his second recovery in the final period on the Aggie 48. The Wilkes running attack went into action and moved the ball to the Aggie four-yard line. Pinkowski hit the line for the final Wilkes touchdown. Jack Feeney kicked the extra point, his fourth of the after. noon, giving him a record of sixfor-six for the season. SHORT SHO'tS A game which should h old incidental interest for Wilkes football fans takes place tomorrow when King's College opposes Lycoming College. It will be interesting to see how well the King's team does against Lycoming. So far this season King's has a: one-and-one record, having lost to Bloomsburg STC, 26-0, and beating Wyoming Seminary, 13-0. Wilkes m eets Lycom ing October 30 and plays Kirig's November 19 John Florkiewicz, Hank Supinski and John DeRemer, Wilkes backs who have been on the injured list, will probably be ready to go against Mansfield next.

Let's Look At The Record: In , last week's BEACON, Joe Pinola and Ed Permowitz, · who write LOUNGE AROUND took exception to this reporter's use of the adjective "pitiful" to .describe the 1948 edition of the Philadelphia A's. In the fir st place, in 194:7 the A's did not firiish in the cellar as reported, but in fifth · place; so climbing up t he ladder to fourth place wasn't such an amazing feat. Secondly, as for the A's being a bunch of National League castoffs, (Majeski, Joost, and Franks) no one will deny, but is t hat anything to be ,p roud of? The statement that Connie Mack is "Mr. Baseball" is open to debate. Just what has Mac,k done for baseball ? He started out in baseball as a catcher and wound up as an owner .. I would say that baseball has done more for hi411 · than vice versa. Did Mr. Mack ever do anything for the Philadelphia fans? Again the answer is "no!" He sold every good ALUMNI NEWS RALPH G.

If the league is successful, and enough talent is found on the campus Mr Partridge would like to form a varsity team and enter into intercollegiate competition. Partridge .believes he could schedule Penn State, Temple, . Pennsylvania, and other larger schools.

EDITORIAL On Achieving Maturity We are presently at an historical turning point of transition in ideas, codes, relationships, and delicate balances of group power. These things produce fears, frustrations and confusions that generate conflict rather than cooperative readjustments. We are all in hearty accord with such common goals as mounting standards of living and full employment opportunities. We differ however on the means of attaining these worthy goals ... sometimes quite violently. To be sure, this is an imperfect world-with much injustice and wrong doing, and as it were, we are quite apt under stress and strain to obtain immediate satisfaction by yielding to the prime emotions. We strike back in anger at someon~ who is part of the situation, or retreat into the reassuring approval of our own group. Worse still we unthinkingly denounce and hate anyone who does not behave in terms we w~uld want them to. We don't stop to realize those people are laboring under stresses and strains of daily living quite as much, perhaps more, than ourselves. · It appears then we must develop a capacity to react to our total environment. It is this totality of environment that is the strategic factor amongst the patterns of the stimuli and response that yield characteristically mature behaviour. Very few activities indeed in which we may engage do not involve us in relationships with other people. It is precisely these inter-relationships in which other people are reacting within the same situations of material and cultural forces that form an integral part of the realities to which we must constantly accommodate ourselves. ~he quality of characteristic way in which we make the accommodation marks the degree oi our maturity. An emotionally mature person is one who accepts unpleasant facts, whatever their genesis, as concrete situations to be handled rather than hated. Accordingly the mature person avoids penalizing the developments that are distasteful. i.e., he avoids ascribing responsibility for them to individuals who then can be blamed and fought and punished. It has recently been discovered that any given individual functions at any given time on a few different age levels; chronological. biological. mental, emotional and social. The first three are natural endowments about which there is little we can do. Fortunately. however, each normal individual can by his own conscious effort modify or can be helped to modify, his characteristic modes of response so that he can develop emotional and social maturity ad.equate enough to meet his own responsibilities in sih.j.otions confronting him from day to day. The ·college student in preparing himself for social success and his life career is in the most strategic position for improving not only his intellectual skills, but of achieving the emotional stability necessary for a fruitful life just ahead of him. In this respect he cannot ignore the old injunction "Know Thyself". Only by understanding his own actions as he is spurred by multiple drives, motives, interests, ideas and values can he properly evaluate the actions of others. In contrast to the emotionally mature individual w·e find a discontented and maladjusted element in our political and social life--<md even in our schools and colleges. These individuals masquerade as "liberals". As pseudo-liberals they · falsify every social situation, and refrain above all from discovering Fun In College °-V: The Wayside Inn EYEGLASSES Reasonable Price - Latest Styles DR. AARON S.

The youngsters around Pittsburgh played smart heads-up ·football and . the backs 'and linemen tac)ded with collegiate ferocity. One of the better high school elevens in that sector was little _ - ~. They had a great line and a fast, shifty backfield. The star of that "dream" backfield was a rugged 215-pound fulliback w?o co~ld run like a deer, crack a !me with such power that he was compared to the famous Bronco Nagurski, and toss the pigskins 60 yards. This great back was also a star basketball player and, when time permitted, he helped acquire a few points for the golf and track teams. Scouts from every major college in the United States were be.a.ting a steady path to his door, offering him everything from greenbacks to Cadillac convertibles if he would do or die for dear old Siwash. The New York Giants and Philadelphia Athletics were only two of the big league clubs after his baseball services. This great scholastic athlete liJed, ate, and slept football. He would dream of the day when he would be playing college football. Every summer he would borrow an old football from his coach and practice kicking and passing whenever he had a ,spare moment. Football was his life. But there was a bigger job to be done. The Japs · had attacked Pearl Harbor. America was betrayed. He wanted to get into the thick of the fighting. Football would now have to wait. He wound up in the Infantry and, after basic training, was ship,p ed to England and then to France. He was in the thick of the D-Day Invasion and later the push into France and Germany. And then he was wounded. Wounded in the back. ·arms and legs. The Army doctors checked over his case, then ca:me the sad news. He would never play sports again. And he might never regain tp.e use of his arms. This great athlete took the news in stride. His dreams of gridiron glory were shattered. After a year in the hospital, he was discharged from the Army. He had regained the use of his arms and through determination and grit, had developed his shoulder muscles to the extent where he could acutally throw a r'ootball. The big schools and major league clubs weren't interested in him now. He was just another war hero. And a badly wounded one at that. He entered a small college in Eastern Pennsylvania, deciding upon engineering as his life's work. But his great love of sports was still in his heart. He continued to exercise his bullet-torn }>ody, hoping aga,inst hope that he might play again. Every weekend, unknown to any- one on the campus, he journeyed to New York City to visit the army specialist, now a civilian doctor, who operated on his arms and back in the service. Together they built up his body. It wasn't the perfect physique he once possessed. He couldn't run as he once had. His shrapnel-torn legs wouldn't cooperate. But he would play football again. He , made the football team at this small school. And the rest of the squad marveleld at his 50 and 60-yard heaves. Last Sept. this great athlete started at fullback for his school against the Army Junior Varsity at West Point. His school didn't win the game, maybe because he suffered a broken leg in the second quarter. But while he was in the game they were a constant threat. Re completed a 45yard pass to nearly score. He has since shifted to Bucknell the long, tedious, painstaking months in the hospital were rewarded. His broken leg healed a,n d in the spring he went out for baseball. It was seven years since he had played the diamond sport but he gave it the old college try. And when the season was over, he had batted in 23 1·uns, hit 6 homers, and swatted the pill for a .359 av'tirage . The fellow they said would never play sports again was playingand for WILKES COLLEGE. He had since shifted to Bucknell University and their gain is our great loss. Perhaps now that the Colonels ·h ave dropped two consecutive football games by large scores, and school spirit is at new ebb, we might think of this Y?~ng m~n who had more school sp1nt acc1dently than most of us have on purpose.

Phone 2-0740 By ED TYBURSKI On the third floor of Chase Hall is a large L-shaped room that once belonged to the men of Wilkes. They had proudly referred to it as their lounge. Today however, a change has been made. The 1 girls now dominate it and just as proudly call it their lounge. This exchange took place last spring. Previously to this exchange, the girls used the second floor of Chase as their favorite resting place. Here they held all of their activities, of wihich serving teas seems to have >been the foremost. In the old days they had to cart the tea and other refreshments from the cafeteriaa most unpleasant task. Now, however, they have the beginnings of a modern kitchenette, which is conveniently located a few steps from the lounge. All th-at is needed to complete the kitchenette is a hotplate. They have everything else on hand, including a spacious closet for storing their china and other equipment. This is the most important improvement, since the lounge is centrally located, and most of the school's social teas are served there. Among the renova:tions the outstanding addition is the new furniture. A complete set was obtained, and has added immensely ._to the beauty and comfort of the lounge.

Questions h\ye been accumulating on our desk for sonie time now, so here goes: 1. What very well-known dance band leader features his own dau~hter in the vocal spotlight? 2. You've heard of "Basin Street" boogie-woo.g ie, barrel-house and the blues, for years now, but could you say j-u st where Basin street ·is? 3. And while we're on the subject, what street would you visit in New York City if you wanted to dig the best in jazz? 4. Is there any difference between a dance band arid a dance orchestra? ' 5. Who is that mad 'chi-chi" girl of the modern jazz set? 6. Judging roughly, would you say there were about ten, fifty , one hundred, or more recognized symphony orchestras in the United States and Canada? 7 1 When a conductor calls for · more volume from the "horn" section, does he point to the English horns, French horns, bass horns, or fog horns? 8. Would you venture to guess just where most of the common cymbals seen in every band are made? 9. Name the following instruments common to the jaz·z band or "combo": "licorice-stick"; "dog house"; "skins"; "slip-horn", or "slush pump"; "plumbing"; and "keys". 10. What popular orchestra leader tried out for opera before turning to popular music? Another band leader was orginally a football coach. Who? Still another couldn't even get in the choral club at college. Any idea? Here's a bonus question: How many of you upper classmen can sing the Wilkes College Alma Mater as well as the freshmen can? (See answers below.) Let's talk a little s'hop-record that is-and see what new releases have recently been waxed.

Blake and Macri, whose inspira:tion was resp'onsible for the formatH'.m of the league, will not participate in the action. It seems that they have decided to limit themselves to behind-thescenes masterminding.

Floirkiewicz has not played more than a quarter so far this season, and Supinski has been in action for a total of about five minutes King's College got its football season under way last Saturday afternoon at Nesbitt Stadium with a 13-0 win over Wyoming Seminary.

Jack Feeney, who kicked most of the Wilkes extra points last year, must have been restless throughout the first two Wilkes games of the current campaign. Since the Colonels were un~ble to score in those games, Jack · did no 'converting. However, against Hartwick Wilkes p u t across two touchdowns and Feeney gleefully kicked the two extra points. - After the dark days of two trouncings by Bloomsburg STC and St. Francis College, the Wilkes College, the Wilkes College gridders finally saw 'the light of victory Saturday night at Neawha Park Stadium, Oneonta, New York, where they defeated the Hartwick College team by a 14-6 count. The Wilkes fumbles were not quite so numerous as they were in the St. Francis enc·o unter, and the Colonel pass defense, non-existent against St. Francis, functioned at Oneonta, all adding up to the first 1948 victory for the Ralstonmen. The Blue Warriors must have had a few spies at the Wilkes-St. Francis game who relayed to Coach M. Beal Banks the news about the obvious shortcomings 'in the Wilkes pass defense, for Banks had his passers fill the stadium with no less than 18 aerials. This time, however, the Wilkes defenders were on the alert, foiling all but five of the 18 passes Hartwick attempted. One of the five was good for Hartwick's only score. The Wilkes line, as always, was thoroughly efficient in its custom_ary hard-hitting manner, leading the way for the Colonel backs all night, and stopping the Hartwick backs cold when they attempted to gain on the ground. The Wilkes forward wall, in fact, did its job ,so well that it was not necessary ior the backs to go through the air for their yardage. Only four "Wilkes passes were thrown; one ·was completed. Halfback Leo Castle, who had .a hard time getting started in the ~first tw.o galfles this season, came j nto' hi-s own against Hartwick. Leo was the only tailback Ralston nad Saturday · night, both John Florkiewicz and John DeRemer being unable to play because of inBILL APFELBAUM juries.

In that game Wilkes had the better of it until the Doylestown team pulled a sleeper play that was good for a touchdown·; tying the game at 6all. That was the way the game ended, being one of the only two blemishes on the Wilkes record last season. Prior to this year the Doylestown institution was a junior college, and for that reason was not too anxious to face the Wilkes team on the gridiron. This year, however, when the school became a four-year institution, an attempt was made to arrange a game between the two schools. This was impossible until a few days ago when the team the farm school was to play tomorrow_ was. qua~antined because. of a polio ep1dem1c.

Coach Rais.ton is anticipating a har,d -fought contest, especially since he learned that the National Agricultural College won a game last week by a 3·9-0 score. The team opemtes from a single wing forinsi.tion, viarying i:t occasionally with a T formation. Ralston spent most of the past week drilling his team on its pass defense, so weak against Srt. Francis College, and which yielded one touchdown to Hartwick. There's not much drilling a team can do in an effort to break the fumbling habit, but, luckily, that seems to be on the decline. It is U111likely that Ralston's chief "cripples," Hank Supinski and John Florkiewicz, will be able to start in the Wilkes backfield tomorrow \ afternoon. The starting b~ackfield probably will consist of Cross, W , aters, Evans and Pinkowski.
