COMMUNITY CHEST CAMPAIGN REORGANIZE By Han1 Fisher As 1948 Career Girl WED. IN CHASE PRE-MED STUDENT TO RECEIVE OPPORTUNITY TO FURTHER WINNING TEAM TO BE Valley Drive Asks MEDICAL STUDIES GIVEN PARTY $354,000.00 Goal The way for the 1948 Community Chest Campaign here at Wilkes was prepared Tuesday when Mr. James Ramsey, representing the organi;rntion, addressed the regular assembly. Members of th e freshman and sophomore classes heard Mr. Ram sey explain the need for funds, the rising cost as it affects the Chest, and the benefits to be derived from the Chest by the public of Wyoming Valley. Mr. Ramsey stressed the fact t hat the Chest as a welfare agency does not exist. He pointed out that it merel y coordinates thirty-two Wyoming Valley social service groups. "Therefore," he reminded students , "when you give keep. in mind that your contribution is for thirty-two agencies to do their necessary work for one year." A plan is also being considered which will mean that the Chest will also embody the drives for the American Cancer Society and U. S. 0. As is easily seen, the idea of one drive by a central coordinating Qffice is more efficient for the various agencies concerned and means that the entire Wyoming Valley social aid field is covered in one drive, thus eliminating the inconvenience of separate drives. All individuals working in Wyoming Valley will be asked to contribute one day's pay to the drive. Corporations and company administrators are being asked to double their form er donations. The rising costs of maintaining these agencies means that this year the Chset is asking for, and must receive, a record fund. The Community Chest drive here at Wilkes will get under way very soon. Various campus organizations will act as teams with the winning group feted at a party with food and dance music furnished free. It is expected that these organizations will solicit juniors and seniors only. The two lower classes will receive their pledge cards at the October 12th -assembly. These two classes will be pitted against the upper two in competition. The Chest needs money badly. Remember, everyone in Wyoming Valley benefits when the less fortunate are helped. ,Pleading for aid in the 1948 Community Chest "Red Feather" Drive, Mr . James Ramsey, formerly of Bucknell Junior College, called to mind the importance of the Community Chest. He spoke preceding themain address at the Tu esday assembly. The Wyoming Valley Community Chest 1948 goal is $854,000. and and the proceeds will help to support thirty-two health and welfare agencies in the community. The ch est supports such organizations as the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Y. M. C. A., Y .. W .. C .. A . , Y. M. H. A., Catholic Charities, Jewish Welfare Organizations,. and many other welfare groups in the vicinity. • Mr. Ramsey mentioned that if the current goal is reached, the chest plans to consolidate other organizations which heretofore have raised their funds independently. In the current campaign, all donors are asked to double last year's pledge. The rise in the goal is due to the higher cost of living and the expanding coverage of the community chest. Dr. Farley followed Mr. Ramsey's plea by announcing that Reese Pelton will discuss the matter further at the next assembly which will be at 11 o'clock on Oct. 12 at_ the Baptist church House. •· - .:.J ATTENTION ALL JUNIORS AND SENIORSl!I All fifth semester Liberal Arts Students will receive a notice from the Regi strar's Office at some later date concerning the number of semester hours needed for graduation.

Although there was stiff competition from the local scholastic football games, there was n o excuse for the small crwod that was present. }from a student body of well over fifteen hundred, only two hundred and seven were on hand for the dance. Considering this fact , it was a poor showing on the upperclassmen's part. The only upperclassmen that could be accounte;l for, with the exception of a few, were either from the Letterman's Club or from the Student Council. ·bespite this fact, a good time was had by those that were there. Dancing was made enjoyable b:f the fine music of Reese Pelton's orchestra, and upon the instigation of Jack Feeney, some diversion s were added. Feeney lined all the Freshmen up in the center of the floor, and with the year l:>_ook's photographer standing on the band stand, the Frosh marched toward him and had their pictures snapped. Then Feeney picked twelve Freshmen and made them kneel and pray for a Wilkes' Victory against St. Francis. Also appearing in the yearbook will be the picture of the "Frosh Band". Not that we had any music from them; there were no musicians among . them. It was just the idea of some upperclassmen to make eome Frosh 11it on the band stand and make like musicians.

EDITORIAL A NOTE TO THE FACULTY TO MEMBERS OF THE WILKES FACULTY: You may have heard, recently, of a "movement" that took place on and around the Wilkes College campus a couple of weeks ago. This movement was an attempt, on the part of certain interested students, to bring the spirit of those concerned directly or indirectly with Wilkes College at least up to par. These students had realized that heretofore events that have taken place at Wilkes were, in general, poorly attended. These students were rather tired of seeing their money, especially in these times, being used to finance affairs that time and again proved not successful. And too, school spirit here was at an ebb that, as far as is known, has been experienced in no other institute of higher learning in the United States. With the exception of the Cinderella Ball (and that famous orchestra leader was the impetus for attendance there), many of the school's social · activities were, so to speak, flops. This was especially true with attendance at the football games (and in recent years it has been the football team that has helped give Wilkes a "name"). So Earl Jobes, an enterprising Wilkes student, and a few others decided to do something about it. Thus was born the movement which had no name, but which made an honest and sincere attempt to raise school spirit, and attendance at the football games. These persons realized that Coach Ralston and his boys needed more than just practice and gumption to go up against the opposing teams. They needed the backing of a home town, and more essentially, of a student body-and faculty. Theµ- slogan became "Join The Colonels Caravan," and it received a marvelous response. Previously, the Wilkes team was fortunate if it played before a crowd of 300. (In fact, it was considered a large crowd.) But this year, as a result of very hard work, the team played its first game before no less than 7000 people. This was amazing. The next game was played before 3000. These were the two largest crowds that had ever wit~essed a Wilkes game. Everyone was satisfied, especially the team. This heartened the players, who were rather skeptical over the Caravan idea. They realized that there were some who DID hope for a Colonels' victory, and that more than a few people were backing them. Everyone was satisfied, that is, until it was reported that only 10 of more than 100 Wilkes faculty members, bought tickets for the game. It was then that the students began to wonder. For the first game, approximately 500 Wilkes students were in attendance. That is nearly half of the entire student body. A good percentage. But only one-tenth of the faculty attended the game. A poor percentage. A school can only- be as good as its' i~tructors. It is in their teachers that the students place their trust and faith. Without SPIRIT soldiers cannot win a battle. Without SPIRIT football players cannot win their battles. C olonels man your helmets-<md gun. 0 pen up that line-and run. ' L unge an extra yard-<:md score! 0 peration touchdown-and more!

As we are free to choose and elect those who would lead us-we can control our destiny to that extent. Insofar as our governmental organization under the constitution permits peaceable transfer of authority-we are assured of maintaining our cherished beedoms. Conversely when a people must resort to violence to remove those who rule-liberty is dead! As free and intelligent Amricans we must guard our right to exercise the vote as one of our most cherished possessions, ,perhaps the most valuable of all. For what is life without liberty? ! Finally it must be understood by all that there can be no absolute solution to the problem of leadership in a progressive society, for this is necessarily an endless evolution. Adequate leadership will depend upon the continouus appraisal of the sentiments and understandings by which the people are guiding their actio~. as the most important factor involved in organizing purposeful activity. Social sentiment should not be regarded as an obstruction-but as a reason for the existence of that purpose in the first place. We are all to a certqin degree leaders in our own right, as we intermingle with fellow members of our society. We conduct ourselves with concern. for others, and with a reasonable expectation which their form of behaviour will assume. Thus we all make our contributions in constructing a way of life . . . the American way of life. And that way of life has at its bottom a wide spread of social responsibility· in a relatively high degree among all its members. Yet notwithstanding all the safeguards that have been devised, the price of liberty remaias the same eternal vigilance. So soon social respqnsibility begins to degenerate, it necessitates excessive guidance from the top. And there are those only too happy to provide that guidance, ill equipped though they may be. A progressive society is neces~arily a self-analysing society, in which an experimental attitude with ~espect to social and political activities is combined with a wide spread concern for the accepted ways of life. The essence of a democratic way of life is the exercise of instructed and effective living with social concern for one's fellow man. "Your Right To Know Is The Key To All Your Liberties." This is the siogan of the 1948 National Newspaper Weelf. which will be l).eld from October 1 to October 8. This period was originated by the Pennsylvania Newspaper Publishers' Association in 1932 and became a national program in 1940. In addition to being the fifteenth year in which Newspaper Week is c~lebrated, 1948 is the 244th year of newspaper publishing and printing in the .United States. It was in 1704 that John Campbell published the BOSTON NEWS LETTER, and the first daily paper, the PENNSYLVANIA PACKET AND DAILY ADVERTISER, was founded in Philadelphia in 1784. ,.Thus, the newspaper as we know it today has quite a history. Almost synonomous with the founding of the first newspaper was the rising significance of the cry "Freedom of the Press," a cry which has become the keynote on which is based all the fundamentals of the newspaper. As Americans, we, more than any other nation in the world, have enjoyed that inheritance of those who wished freedom in all manners of living-an inheritance the like of which is as yet unknown in any other part of this world. Standing out very prominently among these freedoms is that which we call "Freedom of the Press." It has been rigidly set forth that such freedoms are unalienable and unquestionable rights by legal statutes. · . In exercising its freedom, however, the newspaper has realized that there are certain tenets which it must follow (and consequently has done so quite successfully). It has been mu~ually conceded that a newspaper is restricted by consideration for the welfare of the public. A newspaper that uses its powers only for its own selfish purposes is a traitor to its cause. Non-partisanship in editorial comments and unbiased opinions in news reports are prime requirements .of every newspaper, and if these tracks are departed from, the newspaper is acting antithetically to all the canons of the law of the profession. • Impartiality, fair play, honesty, decency, accuracy, truthfulness, and sincerity should be the goal for all journalists, for they represent his obligations to society. If 'he refuses to uphold these doctrines, he is not a true journalist; rather, he becomes Edward Jan Wasilewski ci menace to the successful progress of culture. Newspaper Week will try to present the public with the true story of one of their most important working parts, for the newspaper is a vital mechanism of today's society. More than 100,000,000 people read the newspapers, and it will be the job of the journalism. profession this week to show its many readers the actual picture of the newspaper world as it is today, and to B'y TOM ROBBINS show what occurs behind the scenes of the most widely-circulat"Human Relations in Industry" status to the list. He placed special ed literature of the day. was the topic of Mr. Roy Head's emphasis on the status factor. address at last Tuesday's assembly Mr. Head\ who is a graduate of Ted Wolfe 1 ASSEMBLY SPEAKER STRESSES HUMAN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS EDITORIAL How Free Can We Be? No society can survive, in which its members act without regard for its stability or well being. Therefore if we are to retain a sound social framework that will guarantee security and well being for us all there cannot be absolute liberty-regardless of consequences. This is not to say that we must accept our system as perfect -or even the best possible. Only a fool could t_h ink that way. However, genuine freedom for an individual is possible only in \SO far as he identifies his satisfactions with the general well being. , Democracy, hence, does not mean personal irresponsibility; it is contranwise the widest possible diffusion of personal responsibility that is the man characteristic of a genuine democratic society. · How could it be otherwise? A society based on personal irresponsibility must end in chaos, or its evil alternative-regimentation. And that is exactly the foundation on which ambitious dictators lay their plans for gdining control of a natioJ?,. In fact it is practised today 'a s a fundamental part of the over-all strategy of the greatest dictatorship the world has ever seen. . It is not to be presumed that in a democracy all people are equal either ,in their natural endowment or iri the functions they perform. Obviously not everyone can be president of a bank, the head of a state or the manager of an industrial enterprise; To put it another way, we shall always have among us those unique personalities known as "leaders". Now it is in the manner in which these leaders are accepted, the conditions under which they retain their leadership and the way in which they conduct their activities as leaders, that determines the type of society and the opportunities of the citizen in the Baptist Church-house. 1Mr~ Head explained why the world of business should be of interest to one and all of the students in college today. He mentioned that; when a youth, he used to daydream of high adventure whenever the topic of business came up. Since that time he has realized ·that any actuality of high adventure or of the world of living as we know it is not possible without business. The current civil war between labor and business is second in importance only to the present problems with Russia. Mr. Head stated that when either ,l abor or business has complete power, corruptness of government sets in. To hit a happy medium there must be a balance of power. '1n mentioning the cause of the disagreements, Mr. Head pointed out several differences between the labor and business groups. For one thing, the businessmen look back to the "good old days" and hope for the return of those times. The laibor leaders, meanwhile, are opposed to any kind of labor-saving machi,nes. These are only little differences, and the failure of both sides contributes to the difficulties. The basic difference is so small that both sides could obtain their goals by comprom1smg . and thereby achieve a Utopia in industry.. The most discus§!ed labor wants include steady jobs, high wages, chances for advancement, and better working conditions. Mr. l:Jead added some o:i' his own factors which he feels are· as important as any which were mentioned. Recognition of human ri¥hts and of a job well-done were main factors which the speaker felt were omitted from the wants of labor. He also added justice, opportunity, and Harvard and now the Director of Research of the International Correspondence School, stated that one of his first experiences as to lack of recognition on the job came soon after the First World War. At that time he journeyed to the west and obtained a job at Pueblo, Colorado as a supervisor in a grocery stor~. Two days later, he left because he discovered that his predecess,or had been making fifty p·e rcent more salary. He held many jobs in those years, realizing more and more the complete lack of human relations between business and labor. Moving back east, Mr. Head joined an advertising agency and stayed there for sixteen year, eventually becoming president of the firm. He recalled that in those sixteen years he completely lost track of the workmen's ways of life. His chance to relive all of the forgotten days as a workman came during the Second World War. Hired by the Bethlehem Steel Company, Mr Head was appointed one of the personnel managers and soon rediscovered that American workmen are proud and smart and that they want to be treated as humans instead of as machines. Some employers who have club houses, bonuses, and other specials for their employees seem to have no labor troubles. However, Mr Head stated· that the employers ' main fault was that they wer e classifying the employees in a sci . entific manner. Workers want som e values which are not material. Mr Head cited some examples of per. sons who, though not wealthy, ar e happily occupied because they re . ceive some recogni,tion for th e work they do. Mr. Head climaxed his talk b y submitting these proposaJ.s: LOUNGE AROUND By JOE PINOLA and ED PERMOWICZ In the heart of the campus and in the hearts of most of t he male members of the Wilkes populus the men's lounge stands high. H;ere can be found more Kants, Thorndikes, Benets, Summers, and Zilches ·than Millie has wrapped up in bindings at the college book store. Commencing with this issue and continuing for the duration of this school year, ",L ounge Around" will take its place as one of the many features of your BEACON. It is the inten_tion of' this column to bring to you the events and happeniI)gs from the lounge as you l ounge. 1M,any new names will appear in this ,column, the names of those fellows who attend the dances, the athletic events and the various club meetings. These will be the names of the gentlemen who contribute immensely to the general good will among our students. Perhaps even more important, these will be the names of the BEACON readers. As the scribbling representatives of you members of · the lounge, we fervently hope to make this column one that you will thoroughly enjoy. We 'hope to express your beliefs. and note your suggestions. We hope to poke fun at you but intend to laugh with you, not at you.

MARY CRAIG REPORTS BRITISH DETERMINATION IS OF THE HIGHEST CALIBRE By N0RB OLSHEFSKI Under a blanket of mental depression caused by excessive government red tape and regulations, the British people are still staunchly independent and determined, according to Dr. Mary Craig, head of the Wilkes English department, who just recently returned from a summer tour of England. When asked about conditions in Great Britain under the socialist system, Dr. Craig gave many keen observations which demonstrate to her knowledge of England and the English people. Foremost in the minds of the people who are interested in this great socialist experiment which is going on in England is the question of how the average English worker is faring. From Dr. Craig's observations, the average worker in England today is receiving a great many more benefits than ever before in the history of that country. He has a National Health Insurance Program; he is receiving higiher wages, and better working condtions. However, for these added benefits he is paping higher taxes and faced with more governm_ent regulations. For instance, English workers are made to pay 9 shillings 6 pence on every twenty shillings earned, or; to put it in American terms, he is paying $1.9-0 out of every four dollars he earns. This heavy rate of taxation, combined with high prices has been particularly hard on widows, living off small income, country gentlemen who have small savings accounts and pensioners. Rationing of meats and fats is sti'll severe and people augment their meagre ration by eating 1in restaurants and hotels as often as they can afford it. This practice, however. is not pleasing to the people. They feel that food should be distributed to the famjlies, tp.ere!by avoiding the necessity of playing a strain on public eating places. The housing shortage in England is even more acute than it is in America. Dr. Craig reports seeingrow upon row of English 'houses empty and badly in need of repairs in order to make them habitable. The owners of the houses either do not have the capital to make the repairs or cannot wade through government regulations to get the required materials. However, there has been some government· building in the suburbs of manufacturing areas. These new houses are reported to be well equipped with the latest facilities and are" much better than the tenements of the slums. But, in spite of the hardships the Britisher must go through, he still enjoys his festivals, hunts, regattas and musicals. On his two week holiday, he still travels through the countryside enjoying his vacation. However, he travels by bus tod_ay whereas before the war he traveled by rail. This is a sta_rtling change because before the war the British railways were probably the most used railroads in the world. The change· has been brought about by an increase in fares . In some instances, rail fares are three times tJhe price of bus fare to the same destination. There is still one entertainment which has not increased in price. This is the series of Shakespearian plays which are ;produced annually at the Stratford Memorial Theatre. Dr. Craig reports long queqµes of people standing for hours in the hope of obtaining standing room. The hig,hest ;pxice seat in the house is $2.10. the lowest is fifty cents. This great educational force has attracted people from all walks of life and all parts of the world. Dr. Craig said that hundreds of people were disappointE)d when the Malvern Festival was cancelled because of lack of funds to repair the theatre which was damaged during the war. This festival was to have had as its highlight, the presentation of a new play by George Bernard Shaw. He will not allow the play to be presented· at any other place but Malvern. There are hopes that the Festival will be produced next year. Compliments of Along with the desire for rich educational entertainment is an upsurge in registration at the colleges A and universities. Most S<!hools of higher learning are overcrowded FRIEND with both British and foreign students. Schools have adopted a policy of finding room for any eligible student. There was a heavy registration of American students at St. Andrew's for the summer semester. One of England's oldest colleges, EXPERTS IN SOLVING Eton, is undergoing extensive reDIFFICULT pairs to the heavily bombed porPLUMBING AND HEATING tions of the school. PROBLEMS No trip to England would be complete •w ithout visiting the famous old castles and the favorite haunts of famous literary figures. Dr. Craig made her trip complete by visiting such famous castles as Warwick, Windsor, Caernarvon and Edinburgh. She also visited the 27 E. Northampton St. burial place of Duncan and MacEst. 1871 ' beth on Iona. Another famous spot which is dear to the hearts of writers and which Dr. Craig visited is Greta Hall, where Coleridge, Southey and Shelley all lived at various intervals in tJheir lives. The pity that Dr. Craig had developed for Dr. Johnson who wrote his lexicon in an attic, turned to envy when she discovered that it was not a dim, dirty, stuffy room set under the eaves of his home in Gough Square. It was, instead, a cheerfully lighted and well heated studio. All things considered, Dr. Craig considers her first visit to England, Wilkes-Barre.

After having witnessed the Jatest version of the Wyoming Massacre, one's fiiist inclination is to criticize the Colonels' general ineptness. After thinking things over, one comes to the conclusion that it is_ easy to "ride with a winner," but 1t takes a real sport to support a losing team. The winning team doesn't need a pat on the back as · much as a losing team does. The . qolonels' hav,e been trying hard to break into the win column, and _that may be the source of the trouble as a team that iis pressing too hard is likely to make too many mistakes. Your reporter knows that ,t he players have been impressed by the support shown them by the support shown by the students, and it could be possible that they are trying too h~rd to please. Last year when the •s tands were practically empty, the team wasn't under pressure and consequently made a better showing.

The Wilkes team, after the Bloomsburg debacle, and then the St. Francis game, has been forced . to conclude that its opponents this year are not at all impressed by the fine record compiled by Colonel . t earns of th e past two years, m which time Wilkes won twelve games while losing one and .tying one. While Bloomsburg used a host of fast backs to beat Wilkes, ' St. Francis relied on a smooth-functioning passing attack to roll to five touchdowns, four of them coming in the first half. The Wilkes backs were unable to stpp the touchdown passes of Paul Tomko, . an 18-year-old freshman who threw 'em far and true. The Saints couldn't pick up yardage through the Colonel line, but with Tomko and John McHenry pitching, they didn't have to. • The Colonel backs demonstr-a ted t,hat they could get through the St. .:F'rancis line for go'od gains, but most of the yardage they picked up was nullified by six costly furnbles. Francis Pinkowski, particu:Jarly, got away for several good ·runs_, but on the longest of his jaunts, good for twenty yards, he too f.ailed to hold the ball when hit. St. Francis recovered that one, as well as the other five. The Saints made good use of the opportunities presented them by the backfield miscues, turning most of them into scores. As one Wilkes fan exclaimed in a hurt tone,. "Somebody greased the ball!" few years the Hartwick team has been a successful one, and the Colonels will have to go some to to get that coveted first win of the s.e ason. We got a bit foorhardy last week and attempted to divine the score of the Wilkes-St. Francis game, our guess as to the outcome being: Wilkes 20, St. Francis 6. Needless to relate, we were off considerably. _Apparently it's gos ing to be a hard winter for prognosticators, _so we hereby relegate our crystal ball to the junk heap, and leave the wild-prediction department to hardier souls. Short Shots Leo Castle, whose kicking was off in the Bloomsburg game, fared somewhat better against St. Francis, getting off several long-distance punts ... The hard running of Francis Pinkowski in both the Bloomsburg and St. Francis games has been just about the only bright spot in the Wilkes football pieture so far this season. Despite his lack of bulk, Pinky is a hard~ hitting fullback, and he racked up considerable yardage in the two contests, being· the only back who could really move against St. Francis. . . . The Coo<lnels have b een h ampered considerably by the absence of Florkiewicz and Supinski from the line-up. The two backs provided most of the spark for Wilkes last year ....:..:. Florkiewicz with his running and passing, and Hank with his blasts into the center of the line.

Fortunately, however, that is one of those things which happens now and then and will not likely recur. Ralston was well pleased wi"th the work of his line in the St. Francis game. The Saints, though they couldn't be stopped through the air, could not pierce the Colonel line, which is beginning to play as it (lid the past two years, when Wi~kes opponents had so much trouble going anywhere on the ground. The Wilkes backfield has been hampered considerably by the absence of John Florkiewicz half back. and fullback Hank su'.pinski. Neither had been able to play very much thus far this year because of injuries, but chances are that Sl'lpinski will be in good shape for tomorrow night's contest, with Florkiewicz an outside possibility . p ro b a bl e s t artmg . lineups: Hartw-ick Wilkes Kaminski LE~allagher Lynd LT---Mendershot Bullis LG-Koscinski Cardillo C-Elias Nemlich RG-Lewis Beardsley R'T-Washco Beasley RE-Feeney Longo QB---'Cross Syn!!cl HE-Waters Coilis • HE-Evans Sant Angelo FE-Pinkowski ALUMNI NEWS Cue 'n Curtain Formulates New Working Plans The Cue 'n Curtain held its first meeting of the esmester last Monday night at Chase Theatre.

Marty Blake EDITORIAL PENNSYLVANIA WEEI( During the week of September 26 to October 2, Pennsylvanians will celebrate Pennsylvania Week for the purpose of showing to other peoples just what it is that makes Pennsylvania the great state that it is. We, as active, intelligent students who desire to advance not only the welfare and culture of our own state, but also that of the United States in general, can help to a large extent. . In the course of this period, Pennsylvanians will point out the outstanding facts of Pennsylvania, showing how we excel, in certain ways, other sections of the coutry. We can, for instance, make it kno~n that Pennsylvania outproduces every other state in fifty major industries, that we have more farms than England and Wales together, that we produce more power than any other state, that we are the largest coal-producers in the world, that our steel production is among the highest in the world. We pos.s ess a great amount of ; aw materials, and proudly assert that our scenery is comparable in beauty to most sections. The major percentages of population, manufacturing industries, and industrial workers are claimed by Pennsylvania~ By boosting our state, we can incite more people to live here, more industries to locate here, which in turn will produce better business, industrial, and social opportunity for us and the future generations. Our part as college students can help immensely in attaining these objectives. By hard work and study, creative thinking and planning, we can make it possible for Pennsylvania to rank among the top cultural and educational centers of the United States. We can work towards putting the name of our college, ,a nd in turn our city and state "on the map," so to speak. in a way that will make it stand out more prominently and importantly, and thus become a hub of cultural, industrial, and social activity that will be an inspiration. During this week, help to make the above ambitions become realities. Help promote your state, and as a result, the civilized world in general. T. Wolfe Hazing Can Be Good Hazing can be a good thing. The initiation of Freshmen is almost as old as colleges themselves. It is an excellent tradition and traditions are something that every school strives to establish. • Wilkes College is presently taking its place with the other institutions in this country. Last year it was decided that the hazing of Freshmen would be under the direction of the Lettermen's Chili. The boys formed the Freshmen Tribunal and "punished" violators of freshmen regulations. This was done in a friendly manner and everyone, including the freshmen, had a good time during freshman week. · This year the same plan was put into effect and the first transgressors were brought to trial. The session of court was going along quite smoothly, with the upperclassmen having the upper hand and the freshmen saying nothing, as usual, until one freshman decided to defend himself. He was not given much of a chance to say anything, but whenever he did manage to get a word in, he would "stump" the esteemed attorneys. It was at this point that the hazing got out of .hand. The judge decided that the jury should file out and reach a verdict without hearing any more testimony from the defendant. He was 11aturally- found guilty of all charges and the extreme penalty was recommended. He was then th.r own upon a table and given a free haircut. This punishment was not surpnsmg considering that the · defendant had been brought to trial on thirteen charges and had been adjudged guilty on all accounts. The surprising part of the whole affair, however, was the action taken by his antagonists who no longer expressed a friendly · attitude. In fact, one of them consistently threatened him.

This writer has heard many compliments a.bout the band from' varied sources, chief of which was fromthe director of · the famed Berwick High School Band, Mr.. R R. Llewellyn. He was particularly impressed with the marching tempo and the instrumental balance. Others have said that the uniforms, though far from b~ing os tentatious, •a re adequate and impressive on the field In fact, the worst thing that has been said to date' is that they didn't play enough, a fa ult that is easily understood considering the lack of rehearsal time. I heartily agree that the band h as promising possibilities. However, they still lack about thirty members who could fill out the instrumental departments to even better proportions. Besides the many legitimate excuses offered by would-be band members, there have been voiced many weaker ones. Some say they can't play well enough or are out of practice. My answer to them is, come around . and practice with us once a week and have fun doing it. Others say that they are too busy to take part in extra-curricular activities. Of course, homework takes up a large portion of your time but part of college education is learning how to plan care~ully in order tohave some time to do other things. Once Shakespeare, when confronted with t he question of why music was ever ordained, replied "-was it not to refresh the mind of man, after his studies, or his usual pain?" Band work is a profitable way to spend your extra hours, for while you are improving yourself, you also aid the schopl by adding , spirit, especially a t sports activities. Everyone loves a good band, but a half-hearted one is worse than none at all. Perhaps you have in mind some suggestions for improvements or alterations that you feel should be made in the present organization. If so, get in touch with Reese Pelton, Vester Vercoe, or me, and we will give your thoughts seriou,s consideration.

FOR TOMORROW NIGHT'S GAME School and Office ·,1, iPORT §HOTS By GARFIELD DA VIS Beacon Sports Editor EVERY DAY SOMETHING 11,EW The Wilkes Colonels spent last Satu;day evening in what was for them an unaccustomed fashion. Having been used in the past two years to being oh the Jong end of the s·c ore, the Colonels must have been profoundly shocked to find that at the end of the struggle the scoreboard read, Bloomsburg 25, Wilkes 0. The game was played at Berwick's Crispin Field before h crowd in excess of 7,000. , The Colonels were unable to get g-0ing with their celebrated runniilg attack. with which they operated so successfully in the past two years. The Bloomsburg team, using a line which outweigheq the Wilkes forward wall by a comfortable mar,gin, displayed a host of shifty backs who. ran and passed only too well. The Wilkes pass defense was I)ot clicking, and the Huskies were q-qick to .take advantage of it. With Backs J oe Apichella, Bob Lang a.nd Jim Reedy leading the way, the Huskies rolled up eleven first downs while . scoring four times on passes and Jong sprints. Lang provided the highlight of the evening when he intercepted one of Leo Castle's .passes and- ran 78 yards for a Bloomsburg touc_h down. For the first time in three years the Wilkes backs were unable to roll, Florkiewicz, Supinski, Evans, Pinkowski and Castle being stopped consistently by the rugged Bloomsburg line. The only bright spot in ·the game for ,Wilkes was the play of Johnny ·DeRemer. former Scranton University footlballer. DeRemer ,did most of the running and pass~ ing for the Colonels, and did very well by himself on both counts, especially in the ball carrying department, ·where he showed considerable speed and elusiveness. Castle, ordinarily a dependable passer and kicker, had an off night in both departments, but, luckily, DeRemer filled in for him as passer, and End Al Morse acquitted himself ~ el\ . as punter. According . to Coach George Ralston, the Colonels are not taking the defeat too much ' to heart, but instead are busily readying themselves for their next encounter, against St. Francis College, of Lorettii., Pa. Ralston stated after the game that his team just "wasn't up" for the contest, and. that the Colonel pass defense was much more ine~ficient than it. has been in the past. He had kind words to say for the Bloomsburg team. Praising their powerful line and clever backs. The Berwick Lions Club staged an affair which, had it concluded in the proper fashion, might have salvaged something for the WilkesBarreans present at the game. After the contest the L10ns chanced off a new Buick sedan, for which they had sold chances at a dollar per. If a Wilkes fan had come home with a new Buick, obtained for one dollar, he might have been able to forget his sorrow at having se~n his team smothered by a 25-0 count. However, in keeping with the rest of the evening's occurrences, a -resident of Bloomsburg was the lucky winner. ·so we lost out dn t hat one, ·,t oo. · i :s T. FRANCIS NEXT Elias, ·supinski and Company get their next chance to break into the 1948 win column next Saturday night at 8 o'clock when they ,t ake on the gridders of. St. Francis College at Meyers High School $tadium. Coach Ralston scouted ~he St. Francis gridders in their game against Canisius at Buffalo, ~- Y., recently, and reports that, though they lost the game, · they have a strong team and will doubtiess make the 'Colonels work hard to win. St. Francis' style of play is similar ot ours, except that they use a "T" formation to a certain extent, whereas the Wilkes team relies almost exclusively on a single wing formation. Unlike the Bloomsburg team, the St. Francis outfit will not have a weight advantage over t he Colonels; both t eams are about the same in that department. Canisius beat St. Francis with passes, so it might be that t he Colonels will take to the air tomorrow night. We didn't venture to hazard a g uess on last Saturday's game because we had too much respect f,o r that Bloomsburg team and hated to make a prediction that find s Wilkes on the short end. This time, however, we'll -take a flyer and say : Wilkes 20, St. Francis 6. And, to paraphrase a certain sportswriter you may know of, don't be remiss in disclosing the fact that we so enlightened you. See you at the game! SHORT SHOTS Several Wilkes gridders came out of the Bloomsburg game with assorted aches and pains, notably Paul Thomas, w.ho was "sat on" by one of the ponderous Bloom tackles and has several sore ribs to prove it. . Bloomsburg's sensational Bob Lang made quite a hit with the fans last Saturday night. His 78-yard touchdown jaun t was something to see. "Witchaboo" ran with a deceptively fast gait, as -the Wilkes team found out in attempting to nail him after he intercepted Casble's pass and started for the Colonel goal line . .. Marty Blak e, the reserved one, now has two more schemes up his sleeve-intramural basketball and boxing. On the latter, Blake claims that there are no less than 23 Wilkes students who 'Possess considerable boxing talent. Colonels Dumped Bv Bloom, 25-0 ,.I The HLV!kies of Bloomsburg S. T. C. and the Cplonel s of Wilkes blew the lid off the local inter-collegiate football season last Saturday night at Berwick's Crispin Stadium. In the process the Colonels were nearly blown off the field, coming out on the short end of a 25 to O score. An overflow crowd of 8,000 saw the outweighed and outma,nned Colonels fi gh t desperately all the way trying -to get their attack clicking. The Huski'es led by two hard running backs, Lang and Peterson, and working behind a hard charging line rolled up some very impressive yardage. The Colonels took the wra-p s off a new star m John DeRemer. DeRemer proved that he can run in fast company, and thrilled the Wilkes rooters on several occasions with several nice runs . Bobby Waters was a demon on defense, and his blocking was really impressive. One of the high lig-hts of the game occured when Chet Knapich rushed the Bloom passer, blocked and intercepted the pass, and alinost got away for a touchdown. The main difference in the two teams was in the line. On several occasions the Colonels linemen didn't seem to k ~ow their assignments. One bright spot in the line was the play of Jack Feeney ahd AI Morse at the ends. Feeney was on the receiving end of a couple of completed passes and Morse's kic:-ks were long and went out of bounds not giving the Huskies any chance to return them. This Saturday night at Meyers Stadium the Colonels hope to break into the win column when they meet St. Francis College of Loretta, Pa.

Are you wond erin g a s to what are the possibilities and requirements for a entering a graduate school, attaining a scholarship , or entering a specific field of work? You can find the answers as well as the latest news on trends in employment in industry and the professions at the Wilkes College Careers Library located in Ashley Hall, 164 S. River Street. Many students in college find themselves in a quandary regarding their future roles in life.

Thursday, September 16, 1948 JOIN THE COLONELS' CARAVAN They Need Us, Too By TED WOLFE The Wilkes College Colonels' football team is entering its third year of activity this fall with the initial game being played under the lights Saturday nite at Crispin Field in Berwick, where the squad will meet the able Bloomsburg STC eleven. In this game, the Colonels are looking for their thirteenth victory in fifteen starts, in an attempt to better a record that is, to date, an admirable one indeed. This can not be done, however, merely, with eleven men and a hopeful coach. It is an undertaking that must recruit the whole-hoorted backing of a student body and a hpme town, a game that must see the ball , cross the Wilkes goal not only through the efforts of the · giidders themselves, but with the help and encouragement of people who wish to see the Colonels triumph. You get no material satisfaction as a result of your supporting spirit, true, but you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you have made the players realize that their efforts are not in vain. You will thrill at hearing people say, "With that support, how can the team be anything but victorious?" You will be thoroughly pleased in knowing that the combined endeavors of YOU and the team have helped bring a "name" to Wilkes College, and to Wilkes-Barre. If the team continues to be successful, the word "Wilkes" will be on the lips of nearly every football enthusiast in the East, and you, as a spirited, supporting body, will want to share in that glory. ''WE LOOK WITH PRIDE ...,, AllTaken Reservations At Chase By ART SPENGLER By the summer of 1946 Bucknell University Junior College had expanded sufficiently to qualify for participation in athletics on an intercollegiate level. George •Ralston, now Dean of Men and Director of Athletics, was chosen to shape the destiny of the grid organization in rn46 competition. A graduate of the University of North Carolina, Ralston acquitted hims elf admirably on the gridiron for four years. His athletic prowess also evidenced itself in baseball and basketba(I. After graduation he did mound duty in the Coastal Plains League for some time. In 1938 he attend~d the University of. Pittsburgh's Coaching School for football. Prior to entry into service Coach Ralston wa,s head basketball and assistant football coach at Forty Fort High School. He came to BUJC: in 1946 after being discharged from military service as a major. . The response to Ralston's call for football candidates was gratifying, approximately 60 men gathered for the initial workout. This contingent was sprinkled generously with outstanding talent in such men as: Jack Feeney whose playing for Kingston High obtained for him the recognition as Wyoming Valley A,ll-Scholastic End in 1943; Bob Gorgas who received All-Scholastic honors in 1942; Sam Elias who was Meyers' High School contribution to the All-Scholastic roster in 1943; and Bob Waters who merited AllScholastic recognition while playing for Forty Fort High School. These were some of the men with the more scintillating football pasts. However, there were excellent performers among those who had not received All-Scholastic honors. What coach could overlook Supinski, Florkiewicz, Castle, Galletta, Washco, Lewis, Knapich, to mention a few? Faith in the coach and players was vindicated that first season when BUJC came thro_ugh undefeated. The squad amassed a total of 95 points to the opp·osiiion's 13. Bucknell Junior Varsity and Dickinson Junior College were the only two teams that scored on BUJC . Keystone Junior College. King's College, Pittston Vocational School, and Wyoming Seminary failed to score aerially or through our version of the Maginot Line. As was expected, the King's-BUJCgame attracted the greatest number of fans . Some 2000 people saw Florkiewicz pass to Waters for thewinning touchdown. Most of the lettermen returned for the 1947 season; consequently there were very few changes in the varsity lineup. Eight games were placed on the schedule with the Army J. y. unbeaten in three years furnishing the oppositoin for the first game. Unfortunately this first game resulted in the only defeat handed this institution's football team . The Wilkes aggregation extended itself magnificently but its best was not enough. At that, the score was only 13-0. Pittston Vocational School, Keystone, New York A. & M., and King's succumbed in that order. Again King's provided opposition that satisfied thrifl-hungry fans. Waters endeared himself. to the hearts of Wilkes fans with itn encore of his 1946 performance by once more scamp~ring t or the winning touchdown.

Reservations for bus transportation can be made with Tony Zabiegalski, Evelyn Penaligon, George Brody, Jack Feeney, Mr. Robert Partridge of the faculty or Earl Jobes.

As a result of this dynamic nature · we have become the richest and most powerful nation the world has ever seen. We have produced wonders in the arts and sciences and government on so prodigious a scale as to command the respect and envy of the world. And unfortunately our position is such that we have been challenged in our rights to that preeminence by less fortunate 'nations . . . Not less so today. Notwithstanding the triumphs we have achieved by virtue of these dynamic attributes of our people, as fate would will it, there are also some drawbacks. Because of this increased tempo of living we are individually subjected to certain stresses and strains in our daily life . . We are all struggling human beings as we are caught up in the i.J::nmediacy of "today's decisions". We tend to lack or lose our sense of direction. Then again we know so little of "what it is all about" in a chaotic institutionalized world much too big for most of us. And in the contest of our workaday lives we find the pressures generated bear more heavily on some individuals than on others. So we all resort at one time or another to some means of escape as we run up against seemingly insurmountable obstacles: real or imaginary. The most typical escape mechanism is to shift the onus to someone else. Or we rationalize our position to justify our actions. There is also a strong tendency to iiarcotize our anxieties by drowning ourselves in hard work, excitement-or drink. To protect ourselves, at times, we stay away from places and do not read things that will cause anxiety. And when external pressures upon us become very great we either redoubie our aggressiveness or withdraw within ourselves. We are quite apte to promise according to ·our hopes . . . and act according to our fears. · And even in matters of recreation pressure and anJtj.~ty dog 6ur steps. . We became so terribly earnest about the problems of daily life-that we use our leisure time as an escape instead of ·time for relaxation, rest and stimulation of tired minds qnd bodies. Most of our typical forms of recreation appear to be of a purposeless and aimless nature, providing neither the relaxation nor the stimulation which are the prerequisites of a commendable form of recreation. Albeit one must concede they are stimulating . . . however not necessarily in the way of creative and constructive thinking and doing. What seems to be the real need or desire expressed in the wants of the majority of those who seek recreation is a sense of real participation combined with a genuine concern in the welfare of all the others sharing· in the activity. Now if this be true, college students should find much to their taste and interests in the activities which the campus .so richly provides and in such great abundance. Foremost is the stimulating companionship of so many interesting personalities among one's fellow students. It seems the fine old art of conversation has been sadly neglected in the past; but there are gratifying signs of a vigorous revival of that lost art. Then there are the many other variegated and wholesome activities with which the student should concern himself. It would not' only serve to broaden ,a nd enrich his background and cultural life,, but also inspire in him the indispensable confidence of living a full and satisfying social life. In short to get along with people. · To study hard also means to play hard ... And there ·are plentiful opportunities for both here on the campus. Edward Jan Wasilewski loved students and classmates, Ann Marie O'Brien, who died Monday afternoon in Mercy Hospitql as a result of an automobile accident Sunday morning. Ann Marie, an active member of the Spanish Club at Wilkes, would have entered her sophomore year here this fall. She will be sadly missed by students and faculty alike.

The film of a German Opera called BLUMEN A UST NIZZA will be shown. It is . a romantic musical story of the conversion of a handsome gambling count by a Paris worldng girl, after he has faked suicide in Nice for money and publicity. The movie was produced in Vienna and features Ema Sack, a prominent Viennese cinema and opera star. Following the opera, entertainment by members of the student body will include a string orchestra. The setting will be in the now-famous French cabaret style, with candle light and checkered ta:ble cloths. Refreshments will be served at · individual tables througout the evening by a s,pecia} brigade of "garcons" headed by Bruce MacKie as maitre de hotel. A large crowd is anticipated at this last social event of the summer session . Reservations may be m~de any time after August 25th with Tom Miller, Bill Griffith or Ruth Lawlor.

RECENT TRIP REGISTRAR Montreal Auto ANNOllNC£S Trip Planned DISAPPOINTING For Sept. 11-15 The Pre-Med Society, in collaboration with Psychology Club, made a tour of the Danville State Mental Hospital on Thursday, August 12. The Wilkes group was gr,eeted by Miss Brown, head nU!'se of the nursing staff. Dr. Fitzerld, member of the Psychiatry staff, rendered a lecture on IDlectric Therapy, a recent discovery in the treatment of the mentally ill. Later in the afternoon · the students were taken on a tour through the various wards where they viewed the conditions under which the patients must recover. . In the opinion of the various students who took the tour, · in all, the trip was a great disappointment. Most disappointment was expressed when the students were r:efused an administrative clinic. The fact that the students were unable to ,p roperly view the patients also brought about many comments. ATI'ENTION !

Of course this is true of any of the moral tenets of humankind, but not so prevalently as of dishonesty. And the wounding information is that dishonesty doesn't stand one modicum of a chance for entire obliteration from the ranks of our moral talboos, for there are too many ethical loop-holes whereby our dishonest members are able to find a means of escape. · Honesty, as you must realize, is .s elfish in aspect, for who, actually, will make strong endeavor to follow the path of honesty if he foresees no personal gain? Try to count these persons on your ·r i,g ht index finger and see for yourself. Thfs, however, is not condemning for it is entirely comprehendible, as witnessed by the history of man's social relations. · On the antithetical side of the iposition of honesty in society's moral digest stands dishonesty, logically enough, synonomous with honesty in asipect, for it too is egocentric in nature, perhaps more so. But its particular egocentricity is much more vicious, mote cruel, more destructive than in the case of honesty's self-centeredness. ••show me a liar, and l'll show you a thief" runs the ancient adage. It could 'more effectively read "Show me a dishonest person, and I'll show you one who is working harder AGAINST the progress of culture than one who is working FOR the progress of culture." For that'.s exactly what the dishonest person is doing. He is laboring under self disacknowledgement, attempting to retard the advancement of culture through the medium of personal achievement and gain. ''.Culture is the study of perfection", said one eminent man. Unfortunately, dishonesty stands out, and is represented, as the little blots of imperfection on that study, blots that will never e~perience plenary· aJbsorption. It is a great misfortune th~t such is the case. Much has been done .in the. past to combat this ever-sJ)resent trend of dishonesty, ipartly successful, partly not successful. However, more can be done and should be done, and it is up to the cultured individual, the intellectual-conscious ,person, to extend this campaign to the utmost; to rid this civilized :World, as much as possible, of the dishonest ones, of these.soclia leeches, as it were, the cribibers of society. And this evil is- not so far from home, for no community or society is immune to this terrible disease. Wake up to the world and to yourself, look around you, study the situation, and see the reasons why the world can be a much better place in which to live if honesty could only hold undisputed sway over its rival. Ted Wolfe ,322 Of Our Books Are Missing Three hundred and thi'rty-two (332) of the most popular volumes in the library are missing from the shelves of that domicile of knowledg.e, announced Mr. Joseph H. Meyers, Wilkes librarian, recently. One or more copies of each title, in most cases the' only copy the library possessed, were not in evidence at the time of inventory. Some of them have been gone for two years. The majority of the books are directly related to the subjects taught here. Thus, they are of major importance to the students and faculty of the collge. Consequently, it has been requested that anyone having any knowledge of the whereabouts of these books notify some member of the lilbrary staff. A list of titles of these books has been printed, and may be examined on request by inquiring at the desk in the library.

Important Beacon Me~ting Monday!· Only The·~ustard Was Left · �· Friday, August 27, 1948 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 4 Medical Modicums By JOHN BURAK In medici_ne these days, most of the emphasis is on research and discovery. However, -one thing is being overlooked: Who will administer the new treatments and cures once they have been discovered? Private medical schools which have been turning out more than 60 per cent of our doctors and doing the biggest share of the present research, are slowly going bankrupt. Unless something hap-p ens fairly soon, not only is the research going to drop off but the doctors who might apply its results to the public's healbh will simply not be around. According to recent estimates made by Dr. Alan Valentine; presi'tlent · of the University of Rochester and spokesman for the floundering medical schools, the U. S. will already be short 15,000 M. D.'s by 1960. In order to keep going from year year a bare minimum of $40,0-00,00 annually is an absolute necesty. This sum shrinks to insignificant size when we realize that we spend 5 times this amount each year on vitamins alone. The situation is indeed thought-provoking. f • • • The state of Connecticut has recently helped to pave the way. to the long-deserved classification of alcoholism as a curable diseai:ie by :breaking ground, in Hartford, for the fi.r!!t hospital to 'be devoted ex.elusively to alcoholics and alcohol- :tsm. The hospital will be small--,-having 50 beds-'but i,t s importance, in two ways, far overshadows its size. First, it will estaiblish eonclusively that alcoholism is a disease rather than a dls'gtace:- Soon you Cl!-n te11 your friends , "Joe's ip. the hospital being treated for his alcoholism", and get the same reaction that a reference to a bad appendix would produ~e. Second, the hospital plan will point the way for other states and communities to do something concrete about their own alcoholics. Even its financing is unique: it will !>e supported and maintained by funds collected by the State Liquor Control ·Commission as fees for liquor ,p ermits. Individuals with a dominating fear of hypodermic syringes and the pain associated with injections have cause for relief with the recent 'd evelopment of a new type syringe - without an aggravating needle. The Hypospray, as it is called, operates on the principle of a high pressure jet spray which forces medicine through the skin in a jet so small (only .075 millimeters in diameter) that not enough nerve cells are contacted to cause pain. Results have proved so successful that the U. S. Public Health Service has been testing the instr11ment for possible use in immunizing large masses of the population in the event of germ warfare. Dr. Robert Hingson who made a survey for the USPHS on the Hy,pospray also found it to be extremely useful in dosing leprosy patients who are suffering from periJ)'heral neuritis, a neurological condition of a hypersensitive nature which makes needle injections unbearable. * • * The fact t hat nine out of every ten children have decayed teeth by the time they enter first grade has prompted the writing o:(_ a bill, now before Congress, which would allocate $1,500,-000 for child dental care. The servi_ce to ,be provided by these funds is the application of a revolutionary technique in preventing tooth cavities. The method is extremely simple. Children will have their teeth s,wabbed with a s.o lution of sodium fluoride: there will be four such swalYbings at the age of 3. and four more each at the ages of 7, lO, and 13. This type of treatment will reduce tooth decay , by 40 to 50 per cent. No one knows, with certainty, why sodium fluoride .prevents dental decay, but the evidence is undeniable: In certain areas of the country, sodium fluoride is naturally present in the drinking water in a proportion of one part fluoride per million parts of water. Tooth decay is rare, In nearby communities where the proportion is smaller, tooth decay is correspondingly more frequent. As •for cost, a gallon of 2 per cent solution costs a nickel, and will suffice to swab all the children's teeth in an average-size school. * .• -Wi thin a few minutes after a drowning victim's brea th ing halts, his chances for survival drop toward z.ero if artificial respiration has not been begun. Because of this, the artificial respiration technique fir st -aid au th0 rities recommend is th e one which is quickest and simplest to start ,and continue for long periods. This is the Schafer prone pressure me th0 d whi <:ih can be utilized by one man using no equipment 0th er than his bare ha nd s. Alt!;iough it is used widely, the Schafer method has one big disadvantage: It does not force a large breath of air into a victim's lungs. For this reason, the British navy adopted a newer (Eve) technique in which victims are rocked on a teeter-board or see-saw. In some ways the Eve system is the best method of artfficial respiration yet developed, for it is easy to perform and causes deep breathing movements. It is unsatisfactory as a first-aid procedure however since it requires equipment not often available ·--at a · w·atel- 'front or beach. This is no problem in the British navy where all life-boats are equipped with teeter-boards. In addition to the Schafer method, most organized life-saving groups use mechanical equipment for , restoring breathing. The inhalator supplies oxygen and carbon-dioxide gas to the victim but does not in any way force the victim to breathe. Inhalation is dependent upon the application and release of pressure by the operator's hands. The recusitator eliminates the need for hand artificial respiration; it alternately inflates the lungs with oxygen and then deflates them. If you ever have to give artificial respiration to an immersion, gas poisoning, or electric shock victim, here are the steps to follow: 1. Lay t he victim on his stomach with face resting on hand. · 2. Kneel straddling the patient's thighs, and place your hands on th0' small of his back with the little fingers along the lowest ribs. 3. With arms held straight, swing forward slowly, so that the weight of your ,body is gradually brought to bear upon the victim. Your shoulders should be directly over the heel or the hand at the end of this swing._ Do not bend your elbows. This should take about two seconds. 4. Immediately swing backward so as to remove pressure completely. '5. After two seconds, swing forward again. This will result in twelve to fifteen respirations for the victim per minute. 6. Continue artificial respiration without interruption urttil natural breathing is restored. If necessary, work for four or more hours, or until a physician declares the vietim dead. 7. During the operation an assistant should loosen any tight clothing about the victim's neck, chest, or waist. Keep the victim warm, and do not give any liquids .µ ntil he is fully conscious. 8. To avoid strain on the heart when the victim revives, he should be kept lying down and not allowed to move. If a doctor has not arrived by then, he should be given a stimulant like hot coffee.

One of the unique features of the event was the colorful decorations which caused many in attendance to express their !b elief that it was one of the most colorful dances ever sponsored by the school. The pavilion was transfigured into an Indian viUage, typical of 17th Century America. Jack Melton's orchestra, one _of · the oldest musical aggregations of the valley (they aren't grey-haired, though), provided the slow and smooth music for dancing which added enjoyment to the evening. The affair owes its success to the following members of the Committee : John Feeney, chairman; Anthony Zabiegalski, programs; John Burak, arrangements; George Brody, refreshments; Ed.

CAFETERIA COMPLAINTS larly scheduled U. N. Club broadBy VINCE MACRI Beacon 'Associate Editor After waiting some time for the arrival of enough members to create a quorum, the Student Council meeting of last Tuesday was called to order by Chai•r man Tony Zalbiegalski. . There was no Appropriations Committee report, so Mr. Zabiegalski called on Mr. Feeney of the Social Activities Committee :f or a :recount of the doings of that group. tMr. Feeney stated that the Soft. ~11 League quting would be ' held · on Saturday, August 28, at Toby's Park. On August 20 · the Indian Summer Serenade, a semi-formal dance, will take place at the pavilion of the Irem Temple Country Club. Music will be supplied by ack Melt.on and his orchestra. The long awaited Lawn Party will be sponsored by the United Nations Club and is scheduled to take place on Wednesday evening, September 1st. Mi:. Za:biegalski then opened a discussion eoncerning the cpmplaints of many students about the conditions in the cafeteria. He stated that he and Jack Feeney had talked with Mr. Kersteen, and any future complaints on this matter should be referred to either Mr. Feeney or the Chairman of the Council. The matter of the Pre-Med Club budget for $180 was then discussed. The Pre-Meds had submitted an tlPPropriation to the Social Activities Committee for a Weiner Roast at a farm near Harvey's Lake, at the meeting of August 3. At that I time the Council had acted as a committee-of-the-whole and after some deliberation, and much pushing by the Pre-Med members of the council, had moved to accept the budget. The motion had been made by Boyle and seconded by Brody. · · At last week's meeting, however, it was decided that since the PreMed Club had not gone through the proper channels (the Social Activities Committee is not authorized to appropriate money) the budget would be ignored and the club would not have its weiner roast at the expense of the Student Council. ·T his action by the council was significant in many ways. The PreMed Club had not ask_ed for a date on the social calendar, and had not submitted an appropriation to the proper committee. If the club had done this in the correct fashion, the Social calendar might have been set up differently and a possible date would have been given them. As it now stands, there would have been three outings in the course of about one month. There is such a thing as overworking a good horse. Mr. Feeney moved that the council accept the audit of the books for last semester. This was seconded. by Mr. Boyle. Following this action, the meeting adjourned. DORM TO GET REGISTRAR ANNOlJNCES COOL WATER cast, "-On Wings of Imagination", heard every Saturday morning at ten o'clock over station WII:WL. The well balanced script is resulting in increasing popularity for the prgoram. This · is only natural, for the program is constructed along the lines encouraged by radio reformers, namely: no commercials, educational, entertaining. For instance, tomorrow the program takes you to Peru, where you learn some of the customs of the country and enjoy some of the music of Pizarro's former stomping grounds. In fact, almost threequarters of the program consists of music cleverly interwoven into the dialogue which consists of wellchosen word - quality not mere quantity is the keynote of the script. · If you're exasperated with the radio announcers who are constantly telling you how to live or if you've worn your teeth to the gum line gnashing them at the pro-' grams that play one song between telephone directory readings, commem-0rating someone's birthday, then by all means tune in "On Wings of Imagination"-it's purpose is to please, not tease. JACK MELTON TO ,PLAY FOR SECON[) ANNUAL SEMI-FORMAL Coucil Invites All Students To Affair By BILL KASHATiUS The Second Annual Semi-Formal "Indian Summer Serenade", one of the most colorful affairs of the college social iprogram, will be held Friday, August 20, 1918, at the Iirem Temple Country Club Pavilion. An unusual and attractive feature of the dance will be the decorations employing an Indian theme. This affair, the first Semi-formal dance of the semester, is sponsored by the, Student Governing Body of th e college. Jack M~lton's orchestra, one of the oldest musical aggregations of the valley, will provide the music for dancing from 9 to 1. Melton's Band has played for many of the Wilkes College dances including the Lettermen April Showers Ball. Melton's music, which is slow and smootih, will add to the enjoyment of the evening. Plans for the decorations and program a:rrrangements as yet, have not been C'ompleted; but students who attended the initial Indian Summer .Serenade last year · can assure us that the elaborate program in store for the student body n,e xt F.riday, is one that will long be remembered. Last year's program consisted of star-stuq.ded floor show featuring Ed Clard, the inimitable, witty, sensationalist. and Billy and Marsha, WilkesBarre's outstanding dance team. Feeney has been named Cihairman of the affair and Mr. Burak presides over the arrangement committee. Tom Moran has been appointed head of publicity, and Tony Zabiegalski, assisted by Ray Mechak, presides over the Decoration Committee. Jack Feeney pointed out that all Wilkes students, whether they are abtending school this summer or not are invited to attend, a IRC DISCUSSED BERLIN CRISIS, 'Wilkes Alumnus' PRESIDENTIAL RACE RECENTLY Issued Rece~tly By ART SPENGLER The summer edition of the The IR:C Cluib held another of its weekly meeting in WJLJKES ALUMNUS, the official Chase Hall on Friday evening, July 30.

And because of it millions upon millions of people are living out theit lives in fl'lllstration and despair. ,T heir fears range from fear of war and economic depressions to personal and financial worries. So much are they concerned with what the future dimly holds that they a.Te unable to enjoy whatever goodness and fortune holds out to them. Life for them means sitting in darkness and gloom ... or within the shadows of death. These are the miserable ones. And parado,xically enough most of their fears are of their own invention, or else little fears which are overly exaggerated. For fear is a normal human drive. Only when it becomes distorted does it work its pernicious effects, and if not finally checked leads to disturbances in the human nervous ,s ystem, or even to physical impairment. 'Now there are two schools of thought on this business of fear. There are those who cluster about the late President Roosevelt'IS Four Freedoms, one of which was . . . freedom from fear. They believe that society can be so planned, arranged and adjusted, that m ost if not all causes of fear can bE; removed, and hU1manity once liberated from its awful grip can advance to new peaks of civilization. Opposing this philosophy are those who lay down the claim that fear in the human !b eing is necessary . . . They point to the fact that the primitive man was able to survive only because of this sense of feaT, which provided him with the indispens,ible faculties of caution, cunning and alertness, necessary for ,s urvival in a strange and hostile•world. And that need is no less today! F~r in our competitive society the · very same attributes, slightly modified, spell out success for the individual in the strug,gle for his daily bread. So long as human greed and will to poweT remain the mainsprings of action in man, they conclude, so long human fears will remain the catalysts to progress. Undoubtedly there is a great deal of wisdom to be found in both these theories; and a great deal can be learned from them. It would seem, however, if carried to their logical extremes one would lead to a state of apathy and inaction for lack of incentive, while on the other hand the theory which upholds fear would eventually introduce a state of. an~rchy , ruled by the law of the juni le-or the ,s urvival of the fittest. It would appear that then that a healthy balance between the two would afford the most adequate means of es tablishing an equilibrium between the individual and his environment. BIOLOGY IGOE T\JILK5 At this point we run across a characteristic human dilenrna. So soon as an individual, and even nations, attain or even feel themselves secure from internal and external dangers ... they themselves become the aggressors. Oftentimes they adopt the very same strategy and tactics used by their oppressor,s ; then it is the conqueror who screams for mercy! And so it goes throughout recorded history. What then is the solution if any? I It would seem the most efficious approach to the problem could be made from the standpoint of the individual. Sound training in moral living . should begin with the child in the home, in the church, and in the school. The child should be made aware that life is a give and take propos ition, which leads us into .the field of ethics. The growing child should then be educated in the finest tradition, rules and regulations on how 1best to fulfill this fundamental proposition of life. Esl)ecial stress should be placed on man's relationship to man, in form of the Golden Rule. Finally the individual should be inculcated with a willingness to assume and shoulder responsioility. Nothing else succeeds in building character so well" it seems, as personal responsibility, whether. it be great or small. Our greate,s t source of trouble is that which springs from irresponsible individuals or groUJps who hold no values, human or material, hence no worthwhile attitudes. These people are prone to give vent to uninhibited primitive urges, ,ultimately colliding with the firmly established institutions of society based on moral and e~hical concepts of humanity. We speak of Atomic controls; tbut even more important is control of the hand that holds the fuse. CRAFTSMEN ENGRAVERS * 20 North State St. Phone· 3-3151 For.

"AN OMINOUS SILENCE" Editor, Wilkes College Beacon: There a,ppears to be an ominous silence surrounding the c•a mpus concerning the Student Council budget report -0n the Cinderella Ball; I propose to break that silence by posing a few questions. What unlimited powers given to the council sanctioned the net expenses -of $2368.79 for one dance? Admittedly, the Council constitutes the elected representatives of the student majority. Is the present silence an indication that the students passively condone the actions of the Council ? I will await further reaction to this letter before making a decision. The Miscellaneous Expense will be overlooked, this is always a part of a well-orga-ni:zed budget. The $91.3'5 question will conclude the inventory. By what rational means •did our representatives decide to spend such art amount to entertain the entertainers? My-curiosity awaits the distorted reply to this query. · A •p roblem cannot be solved by merely placing blame, but neither can a solution be found by denying its existence. It is -0bvious that .m any weaknesses are contained in the functio1,1i,ng of the Student Council; only an investigation the causal factors which · make for such an irresponsible condition will help aileviate .the. present tension. Too many discrepancies now exist, and for these discrepancies the Council must answer to the Student Body. Joseph H. Kanner of This fall. Reese Pelton will be employed in th.e office of Wilkes College as Assistant to the Dean of Men. Part of his job will be to organize and direct a military band here for athletic events and a concert or two. 'T herefore, I _am directin,g an invitation to · those student musicians who have enough college s,pirit to wish to see•Wilkes' band among the best in the valley, to actively participate in any or all musical aggregations under this college's name. Among the estimated 12.00 students expected next term, there will be enough musicians to more than fill the bill, but only a handfull will be willing to rehearse with the band just once a week in order that Wilkes may make a good showing- on AND off the gridiron. Last year's band was a good start. It did a good job at the football games, and Mr. Pelton was s-0 encouraged that he planned a concert tfor the spring. But' after football season, the membership lagged consideraibly, with the result that the concert was necessarily cut to much less than it otherwise could have been. The band did very well with tl\e instruments avaHable, but there is ne good reason why such restrictions should be placed on it again. Now that it has music and heavy instruments of its own, it lacks •o nly student enthusiasm to make it a top-notch outfit. So get c-0llegiate-minded and plan to help make the Wilkes band a band of which any musician would proud to be a member. oe by marty blake We used to wonder about that famous baseball portrait that shows Schoolooy Rowe taking a last l-0ok at the mound at Briggs Stadium, Detroit, prior to his transfer to the Minor Leagues and wonder just what thoughts might be running · through his mind. The sight of ole Schoolboy standing in the shadows of the grandstand always touched a tender spot in our otherwise cold and somber• heart. But the other day, Monday to be exact, we felt somewhat the same way watching the multitude of Draft Dodger batsmen galavant around the base paths like a runaway herd of rampant steers. The Clowns had lost. History had repeated itself. 'Twas this same time last year and the Clowns were again undefeated in the Summer Softball League. We had a power-packed lineup stressing the Ruthian clouts of Mosse . Galletta and Joe Greco and the fancy-fielding antics of Chick Good and Joe Goldberg. We were riding a crest of a :nine-game winning streak. Naturally we tho1:1ght we were "in" with plenty ·to ~pare.

Gorski took care of the hurling chores. Somehow they kept up to our rapid pace. And then the day came for the big game. Our crew was loud in the prediction of an overwhelming victory.

In your column, you have consistently failed to mention that Joe Gries of the Clowns is the best first baseman in the softball ieague. His field.i ng reminds one of the late Lou Gehrig.. His current batting average is .356. I think he should make the All~Star team. signed, Joe Gries JOIN THE COLONELS CARAVAN Speaking of softball, the league is going along nicely in spite of the fact that the Clowns are making a farce of the race. The reason the league is running along smoothly is because of the enthusiasm shown by all the players on all the teams. They are playing the game to the hilt because they love it. The C. P. A. team led by Walt Hacewski is typical of this spirit. Although they don't have the best team in the league, they do have two of the outstanding players in Phil Kennedy and Jim Morse, short fielder and 3rd baseman respectively. The rest of the team is coma;. posed of Jerry Finn, a very good outfielder1 Clyde Ritter, Len Czaj.kowski, Harris Harvard, Jim Spanos, , Mike Elchak, Bill Boyd, Jerry Bush, Allan Smith; and a smooth pitcher, Tom Richards.

BE A BOOSTER ~PORT ~HOTS . . By GARFIELD DAVIS Beacon Sporis Editor CLOWNS DROP FIRST GAME The truth of that old sports adage, "You can't win them all", was pressed upon the previously allvictorious Clowns last Monday afternoon when they lost their first game of the intramural softball league to Nick Dybach's hardhitting Draft Dodgers. The Dybach men had their hitting togs on and combed the Clown pitchers, Blake 1md Celmar, for ten hits, nine of them coming off the not-so-puzzling slants of starter Blake. As all habitues of Jacobs Beach know, Blake is the lad whose chief claim to fame is his recent shutout victory over the Pre-Med team. On Monday night it was a different story. The Draft Dodgers were at their best at the plate, and that, .plus .a few fielding lapses by the Clowns, brought them their victory. The Draft Dodgers' were leading by a 5-3 count going into the bottom half of the sixth inning, and sewed up the game at that , point when Earl Albright touched Tanky Celmar for a bloping single that scored two runs after Blake had loaded the bases, just before Celmar entered the game. The Draft Dodgers got an added run for "insurance" when Celmar walked in a run before Albright's ~ timely single. Al-bright, supposedly a weak hitter, shared the spotlight as hero of the day with Al Morse, who pitched another good game for the Draft Dodgers, limiting the Clowns to three runs while his im. mates poured eight runs across the plate. Repercussions from the game have been numerous, Manager Dybach having announced that two of his men we'r e guilty of "insubordination". Seems that every man on his squad of fifteen was anxious to get in there and tel!,r the Clowns apart. However, since there were only ~en positions to be filled at the start of the game, five men had to sit the game out. Two of the five were highly resentful and said so, using words . which perhaps were not as polite as words addressed to the dignified Dybach should be. Nick thereupon annouced that the two men would immediately be "placed upon the trading block" as punishment for their impertinence. Blake, Clowns' tnanager, not to be outdone in the elocution department, announced that he will personally conduct a collection among his teammates to purchase bushel baskets to be used by certain members of the team when the Clowns take the field. Such goings-on--and by the dignified and stately leaders of the league, too! , CLOWNS, DRAFT DODGERS LEA VE RIVALS FAR BEHIND Sad to relate, the race for · the crown in the intramural league has turned into a two-team affair. With most teams having five games or less remaining to be played; it is very unlikely that any team can challenge the Clowns or Draft Shown here are the Clowns, currently leading the intra-mural softball league with eleven 'wins -.and one loss for a percentage of .922.

Ralston Calls GRID PRACTICE TO BEGIN For Managers AUGUST 23 AT KIRBY PARK Football practice sessions for the coming season will begin August 23 at Kirby Park, according to a recent announcement by Coach George Ralston. Ralston urges all students with football ability to come out for the . team as there is a need for replacements to fill in for several of last year's first-stringers w.ho will not be back this year. Ralston hopes to have another strong grid squad to add to the fine record compiled by the teams which represented Wilkes College the past two years. Those teams iost only one game and tied one while winning twelve. Many positions on the squad are wide open, and Ralston hopes for a turnout of at least1 fifty men to fight for those ll .s itions. To make it convenient for; out of town students to get to the ,practice sessions between semesters, arrangements have · been made to allow those students to room at the boys' dormitory during the drills. Practice drills will be held daily from four to six in the afternoon. Because of the fact that the firs.t game of the season will be against Bloomsburg State Teachers ColDodgers for first or second place. Only thing remaining for the other four teams is a chance to act as "spoilers" in .an endeavor to topple the leaders-to make the winner really work for the ~rown. •Chances are that the CPA, PteMed, Dorm and Beacon teams will be gunning for the leaders from here on in, which is as it should be . The team which finally ends up on top should be made to earn that position by knocking down all comers, which is exactly what the pace-setters will have _to do. That joyful feeling of knocking off the top dog is sure. to provide ,a strong incentive to the weaker teams in the remaining .g ames. RALSTON AND TEAM MANAGERS .

" That is the wail of a considerable group of educators in thi,s education conscious nation. 1 These are the Ivory. Tower Thinkers; and their ideals and goals revolve about an absolute freedom .o f unperturbed erudition. Their notion of a scholar it would seem is one who is removed and sheltered from the hubbuib and confusion of everyday life; who is steeped in the love of Greek and Latin classics; and who faces a quarrelsome world with a .philosophic calm of one familiar with the eternal truths. Until the turn of the ,c entury, such was the vogue in the education of our hright, young .people. Graduates at that time entered the more learned and scholarly professions: leaving the mana:gement of the more rough and tumble ·affairs of business and politics to the less educated. But a brash, young, up and coming nation flexing its newly-found sinews after successful and decisive pa:rticipation in World !War 1, was entertaining new ideas as to how its promising, young citizens were to be educat ed, too. As a result, the free elective curriculum was introduced into our schools of higher learning-accompanied by howls of protest from the keepers of The Ivory Towers. And the invaders didn't stop there. They demanded that colleges and universities 1produce graduates who were trained for specific vocations, to be employed as specialists in various fields of business, industry and government. The classicists quickly dubbed the new school as one suffering from "specialists". The controversy roars on, with all sorts of new concepts of education ranging between these two extremes ib eing proposed-and rejected. We are quite certain at any rate .. . if we do not have the best educational system in the world, at least we are conducting the greatest experiment along these lines. And how goes the battle today? The battle lines are drawn most clearly between those who favor what they term "progressive education", which is little more than a student undergoing a given college course at his own speed, the only qualification being that he satisfactorily pass the required examinations. On the other hand, we find those who propose the s tudy of the One Hundred greatest boo1cs in recorded time over a four year course at the college level as the ideal of a liberal arts education. Most institutions it• seems have sought a compromise between a :g eneral education in the liberal arts and specialized training in limited fields. To specialize fully the student must pursue 1post-graduate work in most instances. A recent innovation has been the setting up lby•industry of its own. training schools. Accepting college graduates as "promotable" material ; these indus tries then provide the most promising among them a thorough technical training, thence utilizing them as specialists or- ex,p erts within the organization footing the expense of the education. Notwithstanding this bewildering diversity in educational institutions, the average student finds that by judicious selection of available cour" offered, and by diligent study he can secure for himself ~~:..at can be considered ·a fine, wellrounded education by any standards. Those students, especially, who know what they want, and what they are going to do with it ... Now the cry has been raised in many quarters that the state of American education is nothing less than a state of anarchy. To the casual observer or the prejudiced eye this claim may seem to hold some validity. But to those who are well-informed and familiar with the workings of a true democracy will be far from dismayed.

FOWLER, DICK AND WALKER �Medical Modicums ~?c:1'!!:da1s, MUSIC, MAFSTRO - - By DON FOLLMER-- By JOHN BURAK THE WHITE PLAGUE This week's · coluntn is devoted to a .brief summary of one of the most . ,important problems . confronting the American public · top&Y• The f ~cts presented herein canm>t be stressed too often; the 'a.takes l.n this game are too high. 1\'hat are these stakes-and why s,o high? They are our very lives. * * * People shudder when they read descriptions of the Black Death or i,ubonic plague which swept Europe in successive centuries through the Middle Ages. They became lulled, however, into a false sense of security by the idea that medical science has advanced to the point where $uch disasters are forever banished from the realm of actuality. Now we must begin to realize, most of u s belatedly, that a new scourge, a White Plague, far worse than· the Black -Death is now upon the world. And, in this instance, medicai science is completely shackled, fo:r the scourge is taking one life every 3 minutes, and if not checked, will eventually claim the lives of 17 million American people or one out of every eight now leading a healthy existence. This Killer is known by the simple name-Canter. Cancer is a disease characterized by a malignant tumor or growth, the cells of which multiply so rapidly that the surrounding tissues are destroyed by wasting away from lack of a blood supply. In other words, the blood supply of the tumor is insufficient to supply both its own cells and the healthy cells of the surrounding body tis-. sues. The length of-time required for this break-down depends on the type of growth, its location, age of the patient, and the condition of the tissue, among other factors. Cancer never develops in healthy tissues which means that any condition which results in a breakdown of normal cells may be laying the groundwor,k for the disease. Early symptoms, if they can be referred to as such, again depend upon the location and type of growth. Cancer is rarely painful in its primary stages, a fact which only partially explains why patients delay in seeking: medical advice when an abnormality is discovered. A false sense of pride and shame actually account for most of the delay. Early diagnosis of cancer is often possible with the presence of other manifestations at a few of the sites more commonly affected. Briefly, in the breast, a lump is felt beneath the skin; in the lip, a raised sore with a hard base; in the tongue, cheek and floor of the rniuth, an ulcer with hard edges and base painful if irritated by salts or seasoned foods; in the skin, a small, non-healing painless ulcer, enlargement or ulceration of a preexisting mole or wart; in the stomach, indigestion coming on at a fairly regular interval after ingestion of food, often relieved by vomiting. · Naturally, many of these symp 0 toms are not exhibited by cancer alone, however, their frequent appearance in cancer cases indicates the immediate necessity of skilled medical attention. Because early diagnosis is usually the only means ..

Beacon Sports Editor Clowns Maintain Fast Pace In Softball League To the surprise of no-one in particular, the powerful Clowns have taken the lead in the intra-mural softball league, and have maintained that lead over three full weeks of play. Featuring brilliant hurling by Tanky Celmar, with an occasional assist from Manager Marty Blake, and heavy hitting .by just about every player on the team, the Clowns have rolled over all opposition. Strangely enough, the Clowns had -to work hardest to win over two teams which thus far have been the league's weakest - the Dorm and Beacon squads. McKie and his Dorm aggregation started it by extending the Clowns to a 12-11 count. Then, last Wednesday, the Beacon team was so impertinent as to lead the Clowns by a 7--5 score going into the seventh inning, which ordinarily would have been the last. The Clowns saved their winning streak by putting two runs across in the seventh to tie the game, then going on to win in the tenth. Marty Biake started on the hill for the Clowns, and was amazed at the number of pesky Texas Leaguers that •b ounced off the bats of the scribblers. And when the Texas Leaguer.s had reached the point of monotony, Jack Feeney, Beacon hot-corner man, introduced a bit of variety with a screaming homerun over the center-fielder's head. Tanky Celmar ended the uprising when he came on in the seventh and proceeded to mow 'em downthree swings per man. Perhaps the most interesting .a spect of the game, however, was the hilarious base-running of the -Clowns. Some confused maneuvering on the -b ases cost them four runs, when, on two occasions they had home-runs nullified because ·the man on base at the time the mighty ·blows were struck failed to · -touch all ,b ases. In the tenth inning, however, a ·Clown ' runner managed to circle the bases in the approved manner, and won the game, 8-7. A frightening afternoon for the lads, but another successful one, at that. Draft .Dodgers Fail · To Halt Clowns ·T here's an old sports maxim which holds that the fans like to see the high-riding teams knocked off their perches. This doubtless applied when the game between the Clowns anq the Draft Dodgers came up last week, many persons rooting for the Clowns to get their come-uppance at t he hands of the Dybach crew. The Clowns, however, had their hitting caps on for this game, while the Draft Dodgers played very loose ball afield, all of which resulted in another Clown For .

CoUege has announced that the Michael Langel Drive. and the Lucky Barrel Benefit Sport Dance •held last Friday evening . at the Admiral :Stark Ballroom of the Hotel 1Sterling collected a total of $213 in all. This is in addition to the $150 donation the Council gave to the County Langel Drive a few weeks previous. The Drive consisted of "Fill the Barrel Week" which ran from July· 2· to July 9, and the Sport Dance Friday evening. '.Dhe use of the stelj,ming hot Admiral Stark Ballroom was donated · by the management of the Sterling. Music for the affair was provided by Reese Pelton's Collegians, who also donated their services to the affair. Pel.ton's orchestra is one of the most popular aggregations in the valley, and at the Langel Dance showed more talent than almost versity. He later did graduate work at Columbia and North Carolina Universities. He expects to receive his doctorate in E'conomics later this year.

The two blue-and-gold four-11.eaf containers , located on South River Street in front of Chase Hall, and in the Cafeteria, yielded approximately $68, and the Sport Dance realized a total of $145 for an over-all amount of $213. Although the ,ballroom was · a trifle too hot for comfort, much less dancing, -n early 25-0 people turned out for the affair and danced from 9 to 12. Special dances were announced whereby the dancers were asked to throw a certain amount of money into the barrel, located ,in the center of the dance floor,, for that certain dance. This added a little more spice to what might have otherwise been a comparatively uninteresting evening. All in all, everyone had a good time, and the affair, in fact the entire drive, experienced moderate success. There will be an important meeting of the BEACON staff on Monday, July 19, at 12:00 in the BEACON office. All members are requested to be present, also any other person desiring to join the staff. . 'La Boheme' Shows T0 Large AU d•Jenee · ---The United Nations Club ol Wilkes College presented the film La Boheme on the lawn between Chase and Kir,by Halls before a crowd that was much larger than expected. This movie was the third in a series of weekly foreign films being presented this semester by the club. LA BOHEME, Giamco Puccini's great grand opera in four acts, was founded . on a tale by · Henri Murger and first produced at Turin, Italy, in February, 189·6. It was the composer's fourth opera and at once placed him at the head of the younger ·Italian schooi' and gave him an international reputation. The plot is constructed out of four slightly connected scenes, each complete in itself, presenting, in admirably contrasted light and shade, a vivid picture of the Lat.i n SEASON'S RESULTS FILM SCHEDULE RELEASED quarter of Paris of the period of Clowns 1830.

RE-OR&ANIZATION .MEETING CLUB WILL DISCUSS BERLIN ORISIS AT NEXT MEETING By ART , SPENGLER A regular meeting of the International Relations Club was held Fr,iday night, July 2, in Chase Lounge at which the following officers were elected: John Faneck, ~£esident; Julius Likowski, vicepresident and parliamentarian; Allan Miller, treasurer, and Dolores Pi"Sarri, secretary. Dr. Harold Thatcher, head of the History Department, was chosen as the new faculty advisor replacing •Mr. Hugo Mailey who hai:l taken -a dvantage of the summer vacation period. The adv<isory post will be satisfactorily filled by Dr. Thatcher since he specializes in constitutional history. During the last war he served as Ohief of the Historical Section, Office of Quarterma"Ster General, War Department. Freedom and Union and the American Political Science Monthly Review are two of the many magazines which have carried some of his writings. The International Relations Clll!b is an organization originally esta;blished ,b y the Oarnegie Endowment for Peace. It had its genesis on our campus on Decemlber 13, 19·46, when Dr. Edward Hartmann, now teaching at Suffolk College in Massachusetts, assisted and advised several students in drawing up a constitution. Just an interest in · current international . events qualified any student to. become a member of the organization. The club has had many prominent speakers on some of its weekly agendas. Former governor Arthur H. James and Attorney Daniel Flood have addressed the club on separate occasions; Dr. Thatcher and Douglas Falconer, faculty members, have also given interesting talks. Last semester the I. R. C. was more active than ever before. It s,p onsored a joint rally with the liltercolleg iate Zionist Federation of America when the U. S. reversed its decision on the Palestine p,r oblem.,. Representative Flood and Dr. · Farley were the principal speakers. Prefatory remarks were made 1by Mr. Thatcher and Mr. Falconer. In March the Wilkes College I. R. C. played host to the regional conference of the Intercollegiate Conference on Government in which twelve colleges and universities from Northeastern Pennsylvania participated. At the ·statewide convention of the I. C. G. in Pliiladelphia many of the Wilkes College "planks" were accepted into the platform drawn up by the delegates. , This Friday evening at 8:00 P. M. the clulb will again rireet in ·Chase Lounge. The business meeting will be followed by the usual discussion period which, for this . meeting, will center around the Berlin crisis . BROOl(SIDE W. JONES BACI( IN WILKES SOCIAL CIRCLES Brookside W. Jones was a bit late getting to school for the sum~ mer semester. Seems he was out of town putting in his bid for the hand of the young matron who offered herself as a marriage partner to any man willing to give her $10,000 · the day the holy vows are exchanged. According to Brookside, the young lady is a highly interesting companion. Jonesie's first move upon his return t Wilkes-Barre was to scout around for a Danny• Kaye movie. He found out that Marty Blake had been practicing diligently in Jones' a•bsence and had become more proficient in mouthing the Kaye routines than Jones himself . (or Kaye him se 1f, for that matter). And since Brookside covets the master .,f ceremonies spot on the next ca!baret party floor show, he decided it was time to polish up his routines to eliminate the advantage the commi ssioner had gotten on him in hi s absence. · When interviewed by this reporter, Jones sovnded off 'in hi s best English 131 manner on several controversial subjects . As to the presidential candidates, Jones refused to ex press a preference, but did say he would be willing to help in the coming Democratic and Third Party campaigns in any way .he can, even to the extent of carrying on the work on President Trumali.(s White House porch while Truman's time is taken up with the convention, or tending ~r. Wallace's garden of corn, while Hankus is in \Philly disclosing the secret that he can be talked nito accepting the Third Party nomination. .Brookside was a ,b it hurt by" a conversation he had with Bill Tomusko soon after returning to school. Tomusko is a resident of Brookside, one of the ritz;er sections of our town, and was struck lby the fact that Jones should have the · rather unusual first name, "Brookside". The latter was sho'c ked to learn that Tomusko didn't know that Jones, in spite of his tender years, has long been ·considered one of Brookside's more· prominent and respected residents, . and was named Brookside for the simple reason that he was. born there. In fact, he was born right next door to Chuya's, which makes him a 'bona fide resident of Brookside if anything .would.

The new operation, . while following the principle of the betterknown pre~frontal lobotomy (2) which Dr. Freeman and Watts introduced about 10 years ago differs, however, in technique. First, the patient receives two electric shock treatments which produce unconsciousn ess. Then the surgeon drives a slender steel "pick" thr~gh the 1b ony portion of the eye socket into the fronta l ·1obe of the :brain. By swiftly turning the instrument he severs certain brain connections. The instrument is withdrawn and the procedure repeated on the other eye. 'I\he · operation requires only ten minutes and within an hour the patient is awake with no memory of what had occurred. All acute anxiety had disapp eared being replaced by obvious cheerfulness. The operation ,can be performed by any competent psychiatrist with little \ special equipment. Best re. suits rae obtained with patients who have ·been ill less than one year and who ·have failed to respond to electric sh ock treatments.

My rlomination for the "Rookie -of The Year" is Richie Ashburn, a flashy Phillie who has been acclaitned all over the land. He is reported to be the fastest--bal1player to hit the majors since Ty Cobb. His hitting, fielding and base running have been slightly less than sensational. He is a cinch to make the All-1Star team and also to be named the "Rookie of The Year". Some ·of the other outstanding , rookies of the year are: Lou Brissie: · The A's courageous rookie with the war-shattered leg will get a lot of votes both for his courage and his winning form .

CRAFTSMEN ENG RA VER.S SPORTLIGHT Sports Quiz: What major league player hit the longest , officially measured home run in the history of baseball? (Answer below). Bob Chesnes: Chesnes, of the Piitts,burgh Pirat es, is one of the most colorful players to hit the majors in years. In addition to his good pitching record (5~2) at ,p resent, he is somewhat of a hitter and is used very often ·as a pinch hitter. He is so conceited about his hitting, he has asked to be switched to the outfield. Robin Roberts : Another Phillie bonus player. He is poise personified. He is sure to be a star for years to come. Ned Carver: A rookie pitcher who has been a ray of sunshine in the dark clouds of St. Louis. He is so highly thoug,ht of that in the near future he will undoubtedly be sold to the Red Sox. Herman Wehmeier: An outstanding pitching prospect of the Reds. He was picked off the sandlots of Cincinnati by the Rhinelanders. In addition to being a local 'boy who made good, he also ha s a name that will appeal to the large German element in Cincirina1li. · Alvin Dark: The real "Dark horse" of t,he group is this young ~hoftstop of the Braves. His hitting and fielding of late have helped the Braves to hold on to their lead in the National League. With Stanky at second to steady him, he s,h ould develop into one of the league's brightest stars. * * * Answer to Sports Quiz: In an exh~bition. game at Tampa, Florida, on March i5, 1941, Ken Selv-estri of the N.

The pitching of Selmar has been the talk of the league.

The players have turned out eagerly to join in the fun, and though there has been a good deal of creaking of joints during the games and aching muscles after, everyl,iody has had a good time. Play thus far has certainly not ibeen of big-league calibre, since mos·t of the players had not played softball for quite some time prior to the opening of the current season. Errors and "whiffs" have been uncomfortaibly frequent for many of the lads. who did not play in last year's league, while those who did play last year have been showing the benefit .o f their more recent par ti cipation.

In &pite of the comparatively light membership of the club during the summer sess.ion, el Spanish Club, making up in quality what they lack in quantity, have announced a tentative schedule for the summer semester filled with educational and social highlights. Picnics and social get-togethers (some at the · summer homes of certain members) promise a 1bonanza of camraderie, fun, and real college spirit. , The , summer highlight ·o f the club's cultural and educational efforts is the full thirty minute broadcast, "On 'W ings of Imagination to South America", which is sent over the ether every Saturday morning at 10 A. M. thr:0ugh the courtesy of station WHWL. The program is dedicated to the better understanding of our Latiri American neighbors, their customs, their language, and ' their music which has become so very popular in pur own country. Tl).e first ibroadcast, initiating the ~eries, received a successful send-off Satur,day, June 26, when the fir.s t strains of the program's theme song, the lively South American "Tico-Tico", entered the homes of wise radio listeners. The theme s·o ng was followed by thirty minutes of sparkling dialog ue by Miss Martha J. S:ilseth, Spanish instructor, and George Ermel, caipable Spanish student at Wilkes ,College, and beautiful, catchy Latin American music. ' ~Culban Pete", "La Ultima Congo", and "The Em~riaguez Bolero'' are just a small sample of the musical treasures heard on . thi.s program. . ''l1he enter.taining script . is competently written :b y Miss Silseth who is assisted with the technical side of broadQ.astin.g iby Mr. Clem Waclawski, also an active student at Wi1kes College.

It is hoped that within the near future the college's Careers Library wil,J ibe foI'lnally opened for general u se, Mr . Paul Mehm, Consultant on Careers, announced recently. In the meantim e the Careers Consulting :Service is available to all students having specifk questions. Du.r ing the past two weeks a number of students have sought information on specific careers for the purpose of completing personnell forms for ib oth employment and admission to pr,o fessional schools. In some instances direct contact was established with the source of the desired information. As a consequer{ce, all students are invited to use these facilities. ,I The Wilkes College Public Relations Department, located in the rear of the tJhird floor in Chase Hall , will be open daily from 1 to 5 p . m . and on Saturday from 9 a. m . to 12 noon, during the summer semester to · handle college publicity and assist the various departments and their clu·bs in providing outside publicity for their funct ions . All outside releases for publicat ion must be sent through the Public Relations Department or t he y will not be .published by valley newspapers. This action was deemed necessary because of confli ct s which arose in past semesters when independent news releases clashed with the ·publication of more important releases s·cheduled for definite dates. If the information is sent to the Pu h I i c Relations Department, where it will be handled by either John C. Bush or Thomas J. Moran, it will be marked for publication on a date it will not conflict with other college news releases and, therefore, will receive a greater display. News may be sulbmi5ted to the Wilkes College Public Relations Department three ways, in person during office hours, by calling 3-3148, or by dropping information in the Public Relations box in th e Faculty Mail-room.

Ading Council Chairman George Brody stated that although the affair is sponsored .by the college, arrangements are being made with local broadcasting companies to extend invitations to all teen-agers and students of the various high sch@ols. This drive, which was given impetus by the Times Leader-Evening News, is for the purpose of giving high-spirited World War II vet Michael Langel, of N orlh Main Street, ' city. a better chance in the world. Langel, who is the only paraplegic among 350,000 veterans in 32 counties in Eastern Pennsylvania, is showing slow recovery and has gained some use of one of his arms.

The worst. Or so it seems. Strange it is, that with all the brilliant progress we have achieved in thi_s country in mass production, in our inveptive genius, in educa- ' tion, in our free social, institutions, in creating the highest standard of living the world has ever known-we should make the least progress in the most important field of all ... that of go'{erning oikselves. Everywhere; · in industry, in our schools, in business, in our churches and home, and even in our daily social contacts we demand efficieney, ;promptness, honesty, alertness and general ethical conduct. We are all of us very careful in adhering to social convention, and insist that others do likewi,s e . . . with the exception of that ;peculiar speciman of society commonly known as the politician. Whereas for the rest of us, t'he way of transgressor is hard, the sins of the politician are excused by a sly wink, or a hopeless shrug of the shoulders. Throughout the history of civilization we have found this particular species of the human famil'y enga·g ed in one activity or another relating ·to man's attempt to .g overn himsel1'. These · men, and in a few cases women, seemed to· have been possessed of extraordinary abilities, some motivated by -p atriotic zeal, others by the prospect of personal gain. ,Collectively, however, they have held a single philosophy of life . . . The ends justify the means And to this doctrine they have 1dliered with religious devotion. To all appearances it wouild seem ~his was their only endowment. • Well what albout their modern countei;part? The ,p opular notion of a politician ,t oday is a short, fat, cigar-smoking inan with an apopletic face, always hidden fr.om public view inside a plush-lined, oak•panelled office. Not at all. In reality he is usually a fine, handsome looking fellow, respectaible, popular and-ubiquitous. Not usually noted for scholarly achievement, he makes judicious use of his intuitive intelligence with .such f~cility and success as to amaze the brightest scholars. The smart politician with his finger on the •public pulse can pretty well judge the extent and capacity of public patience and suffering. When the peoiple rise in righteous anger and indignation over corruption and incompetence in pulblic offices-he is ever ready with some fancy reforms by which the suffled feelings of the people are soothed and calmed. ·Once the heat an_d excitement have had time to cool, he is back at work; same place and same manner. Now it seems from past futile attempts to meet this -p roblem and eliminate it by civic-minded citizens interested in good, sound government, that tihe phenomenon is a necessary social evil, and that we may as well get along as best we could with it, since we can't be i;.id of it. Yet there is muc'h that can be done about it. The individual citirzen in the first place, should /be taught the moral and ethical importance of self reliance and responsibility . . . instead of running to the politicians for favors. -Secondly, interest in civic matters should be fostered by appropirate institutions ~uch as church, schools and colleges and the various civic and social clubs and association~. Third, public -office holding should be made a more attractive and secure career, Which would in turn attract more competent and able personnel. Finally, there should be instituted in our colleges and universities courses leading to degrees in pUJblic administration . This sort o;f tr!!ining coupled with higher standards of physical, mental and educational qualifications for public office might conceivably promote more efficient and reS!ponsible government for the whole community. Improvement of ·s uch magnitude are not made overnight. However, knowledge, ,p erseverance, and a will to improve the situat~on on the part of an enlightened public will go a long way in establishing 'higher standards in a sound, healthy gov~rnment. Once s~cured, good government should remain under the ca-reful scrutiny of vigilant and responsilble civic groups. in- this respect, college students should be in the vanguard in the march of progress to good government.

CO-$TARRING IN Grid Schedule Near Completion As iTeam Prepares For Fall Season Around the campu ,; there is already a great deal of interest in the coming foo,tball sea~on. The schedule is now almost completed, and Coach George Ralston is attempting to secure opponents for the . two open dates on the schedule -,October 9 and October 16. Indications are that this season's · games will :be the toughest yet encountered ,b y the Colonels, who this year face for the first time the gridders from Mansfield State Teacher's College and Rider College of Trenton, New Jersey. The football teams of both institutions have always been powerful, and no doubt will be strong enough this year to make the Wilkes gridders work hard to win. St. Francis College, of Loretta, Pennsylvania, and Hartwi•ck College, Oneonta, New York, also are teams Wilkes will meet for the first time this season. The stiffest task to be faced by Coach Ralston when practice sessions open the last week in August will ibe that of strengthening the severely weakened left side of the line. All three of last year's leftside wingmen have left school and will not be lb ack for football this season. Clem Hiller has transferred to Susquehanna University, Joe Gallagher has taken a job, and Francis Brokus has moved to California with his family. The loss of the three ends will be a severe blow, the Colonel team having been noted for the excellent. play of its wingmen. Mill McDonough, hard-working blocking ,back of the 1947 team, has also left school, giving Ralston a.nother headache. Good blocking !backs, of which McDonough was one, are hard :to find. As the schedule stands at the present time, onJy two of the seven games are to !be played at home. However, if either or both of the open dates are filled, there is the possibility that they may be home games. Chances are g ood for the arrangement of a game with National Farm School, now a fouryear college. Next year almost all of the Wilkes grid contests will be played at home. Football .practice will be ·held at Kivb.y Park this season and will begin the last week in August, under the leadership of Co-Captains Hank Supinski and Sammy Elias. Reports of new football talent in . t'he ,September class have been slow coming ifi so far, ,b ut one good bit of news is that 205-pound John Conrad, ex ..Hanover High grid star, will be seeking a guard berth.

In an impressive and colorful ceremony, witnessed by a capacity crowd of friends and relatives, 130 regular and terminal students received the first four-year diplomas presented by the new full-time institution. The memorable affair began with an academic procession, composed of memlbers of the Wilkes College _faculty and the '48 graduates, which,proceeded from the Presbyterian Church House, through the courtyard, and · <lown Fraruklin Street to the Church. Dr. Charles B. .Reif, head of the Wilkes science department, led the procession. Dr. Eugene S. Farley, president of Wilkes, introduced the principal speaker, Dr. Everett Hunt, Dean of Swarthmore College, w!:to g~ve the graduates some sound advice, saying that "instead of tryin g to cure the world, you might learn to endure it". Dr. Hunt cited the differences between the students who attended college during the last war, and thoes who attended later, using this example as a means of showing the graduating class the contrast between the persons who accept the world's challenge and those who continually complain about life. He stated that war-time students, who were sorely lacking in the preparation needed in order to face life, complained considerably more about hardships than the veterans who comprised the post-war classes. Dr. Hunt concluded his talk with four suggestions to he followed in living a life of stability, "satisfying work, a satisfying amount of ,play, a large amount of love, and a reverend attitude of worship". · Following the presentation of diplomas and certified by Dr. William Coleman, dean of Bucknell University, Dr. Farley extended his congratulations to the graduates . He gave a brief account of the struggle for existence the college had undergone since its beginning 15 years ago to its pre. sent four-year rating, and thanked those who had in any way contributed to and assisted in the growth of the institution. "Today the coilege i& serving not only the youth of the commun- ity but the 'community itself", Dr. Farley said. Dr. Charles Roush gave the bent ediction, and Mr. Donald Cobleigh directed the Wilkes College Choral Club in opening and closing selections. Special awards were given to Reese Pelton and John Gooch for outstanding achievement while attending school. Following is a list of the graduates: B. S. IN C. & F.

(See pictures inside) WILI(ES BUREAU OF SAFETY OFFERS 2 SAFETY COURSES GENERAL SAFETY COURSE, !DRIVER AND TRAINING EDUCATION WILL COUNT AS CREDIT HOURS The Wilkes College Bu,reau of Safety, . under 'the direction of Clemens A. Pell, will offer two courses ' in safety education to Wilkes students during the sum" mer ,s emester. They are a General Safety course and a course in Driver Training and Education. Both these courses are thre e c_redit hours and will have a duration of six weeks, July 12 to August 20. - There will be no tuition charged fo r the Driver Training and Education clas-s. However, students in this class must possess a learner's · pe,rmit or a driver's lic'ense. The course consists of ~lass work and actual behind-theJwheel training. Successful completion of this course entitles the student to teach driving in t:he public secondary schools of Pennsylvania. The class will imeet from 8 :00 A. M. to 9: 30 A. M. daily. The General Safety course requires the payment of the usual semester hour fee. This cou,rse .covers industrial, farm, pedestrian and all other fields of safety practices. This cl.ass will meet daily from 11 A. M. to 1'2 :30 P. M. Both courses will lead fo provisional teacher'·s certificates to teach these subjec,t s in public schools. ..., Mr. ,Pell stated that starting September, 1948, teachers in all public schools must have six hours credit in these subjects.

Wilkes Enters Drive The Langel welfare drive was instigated by the Times-IeaderEvening News and was carried on. by some of the civic-minded people of the city. The purpose of the drive is to raise enough funds so that Michael Langel, a paralysis victim of World War II, may be provided wirbh a new home. Being the Student governing bodv •of one of the most important institutions in the valley, the Student Council thought it proper that they should enter the fight and see what they could do for the vet.

His plight prior to an interview with a reporter of the Evening News, was generally unknown ~eyond a small circle of relatives, friends and officials of the Veterans Administration. It may be noted that of 350,000 veterans from 3:2 counties in Eastern Pennsylvania, Mike, whose spine was severed by a piece of shrapnel during the war, was the only one with .pa,raplegia, a complex form of paralysis. After 43 months of being bedfast and unable to control his limbs, Mike's spirit was above par, and by continuous effort and exercise, he has promise of using his right arn1.

June, 1948, marks an important milestone in the history of Wyoming Valley. The sixty-'One seniors who received their degrees at that time bear eloquent testimony to the eminent success to those hardy pioneers who. planned and built Wilkes College into a four year institution of higher learning. A grateful community can do naught but bestow its humble respect and honor upon those who have made possible so magnificent an achievement. E'specially so, in the case of the man under whose guidance, courage, and devotion the school developed from a handful of professors and students into a sound, progressive institution. We might very aptly say indeed, Wilkes College is the shado,w of its trail-blazer and first president, Dr. Eugene Farley. To him the community say,s, "thanks for a job w~ll done". And that is not all. To found ' the school is part of the job: to maintain and to increase ils high liberal and academic standards remains for the future. For who among us does recall, nor remember the totalitarian methods of education as practised in the recently defeated Axis countries. There we saw rigid governmental direction and control of · ~urricula and selection of texts. There we saw the careful indoctrination of professors not as teachers_....,but as overseers of the government's program. There we saw independent research and • education perverted and prostituted for the production of mental and moral ciphers, who could in turn be more easily molded to state ends. The individual was submerged, and by one means or another his energies were channeled into activities determined by the needs and interests of a government, whose sole aim was world conquest. Thus we have borne sad witmess once again to the facts that attend the surrender of individual rights and resiponsibilities to a.n ambitious few. We want none of that here in these United States! The American tradition of education has ever been the champion of individual freedom and dignity. It has ever held open the door to freedom of career and occupation. And free Americans, educated and enlightened in · free in sti t utions have made American democracy the greatest power on earth . That is the meaning and significance of a college in a community. By educating and broadening the minds of its citizens, it keeps them free; by educating and making them skillful, they become more productive; by educating · and making them socially conscious, they become more humane and considerate of their fellow man. Education iis an endless task, n~y a duty, of ever·y thoughtful citizen within the community. It is only through education of its members that a community can -survive and progress. Only education can provide the better life. Edward Jan Wasilewski REiCORDS VICTOR DECCA COLUMBIA and Accessories -THE- CampUS Record Shop of KNlFFEN 14 W. NORTHAMPTON ST.

BEACO_N POLICY The Wilkes College BE.AJCON is beginning another year of existence. Some of its readers will say, 'ISo what", some will stiU continue to criticize; and a few _other s will compliment. Not t~t criticism is unwelcome, becau'Se no organization can progress without criticism. It is needed in order to further the betterment of. the or. ganization. With a few exceptions, the .paper will have a ,crew that is completely riew. !Most of the members of the oid s.t aff will be leaving school for various reasons. We would li:ke to compliment the retiring staff which was, inspite of some misunderstandings, a very capalble one. Any person who has ever ,served on the BE.AJCON for some length of time will agree, and jU1Stifyably, •t hat he may as well •h a~e been holding two full-time jobs at once, because· 'that's exactly how it was. In addition to his work 'on the paper, the BEACON staff ,mem'b er has to make sure his classwork is on at least an up-to-par basis. It's not as easy as it may ,s eem. For a certain few, work on the BEACON doesn't stop at writing the story. The /biggest job is still ahead', for the responsibility of getting the copy to the printer on time, taking pictures to the .e ngraver, spending a full day and a half setting the paper up and seeing that it . is printed correctly, and then publishing it on time so ;that they will not be plagued with ,.Where's the BEAOON ?", must yet be realized. Add to all this the. maintainance of at least a ''C" average in studies, and you have a full picture of th~ worries (yes, that word is WORRIE!S) ?f a BEACON staff merniber. The aibove dissertation doesn't make it difficult to come to one conclusion - that it isn't hard for the BE'A,CON to make a mistake now and then. We are, however, striving to effect an antithesis to that statement. In the past, the BEAGON has made mistakes. In spite of careful editing, mistakes do occur. After all, even the New York Times isn't immune from erring once in a while (though this is no attempt at compariS'On with the TIMES). Nevertheless, we hope BEA.CON mistakes will become fewer in number, For the readers' mwtual information, this paper will attempt to refrain from printing unkowingly any false or erroneous statements. Also, and in keeping with the . newspaper code, scandalous or libelous statements will be excluded from the pages of this publication. Any news that i,s of immediate or near future importance will be -g iven first cons_ideration. If space allows, news of past happenings will be printed. . Advertiisements will continue to .appear, since they are a necessary part of any newspaper's anatomy, the BEAOON not excluded. Ads may even take the place of out-of-date news, as contracts must 1b e fulfilled, and our a<lvertiisers gratified. It can be truthfully claimed that our predecessors were consistent, as far as possible, in keepi_n g with the aforementioned policies. As has been previously emphasized, the new staff will con~ tinue to do so. Every effort will tbe made to publish, a paper every week, but no one will be resp onsible if this -p ractice is not strictly adhered to. Lack of cooperation (not only from people concerned with p-roducing the paper, 1b ut from others. too) , a scarcity in the a,mount of news at hand, and other r easons, all contribute toward making it necessary to cease operations every so often. · · And these people shall be ·heard. They will not be voluntarily swallowed up ·in the vas.t ness of society, lose their identity, and disappear forever from our ,s ight. True, they miay not all sit in the White House, though perhap-s one or two may, but they shall all be in some sort of position to wield influence in shaping not only their own destinies, but also those of others. And here we aprproach what may perhaps be the _most important aspect of their lives. Democracy depends on the free operation CYf conflicting ·opinions. Yet how many times have -we witnessed the corrupting influence of success and pawer am.o ng individuals, who work at cross purposes with th~ avawed principles of democracy? In this respect lies the greatest menace ,to the graduate. After a long, arduous process of education and career building, will he be ready for success ? Not unless he prepared for it. The ,t ruly great and successful people in life are always modest and humble. Who among us has not seen how even a small amount of succeSfl and irresponsible power perverts the intelligence and hardens the sensibilities? The haughty :bureaucrat who regards humanity with a cold eye, the rpetty boss, 'when no superior is watching, ,b ecomes a bully the newly commissioned officer who no longer recognizes his form~r buddies in the ranks. And so it goes, in every sphere of human activity, in the factory, in the home, in the trade~union, in the barracks, in ,pri,sons, and even in churches and schools. So soon we ~oosen ·controls over power, whe~her fro~ superiors or our own self-control, we soon find it works the same effects. Along this line it is c&mm,onplace to find people seeking excessive consideration fo.r themselves - who show little or none to others. And if we find s uch detrimental effects of uncontrolled power on the lower level, we can well imagine the evil it can do in the highest positions of responsibility and trust . People on the way up to success must keep constantly aware of thi1s virus of human nature, for none are immune. There are no controls yet devised lby man to mitigate its evil effects better than self control and self discipline. Shakespeare directed some of his bitteres-t words toward this peculiarity in man. Said he, "Man, proud man, Dressed in a little brief authority, Most ignorant of what he's most a~sured, Hi,s glassy es-s ence, like an angry a-pe, Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven As make the angels weep." It might lbe well for each graduate t o meditate on these words,. They ~ill soon have the greatest meaning and ,s ignificance for him or her. As. one great philosopher once said, "True glory lies in the silent conquest of ourselves." Edward · J. Wasilewski EDI'DOR WILKES REAGON: During the past two semesters the French Club of Wilkes College has been o·J e of the most active organizations on the ·campus. The success of all the social affairs held at Wilkes Colleg~ during the past year depended largely upon the cooperatio~ of all club members and the general student body. Without their desire to see active student ,p articipation in all matters, s ome of the school spirit for which we have been preaching woula ne,,er have been made possible, The French Club would like to tak,e t his opportunity to thank the editors and the s taff writers of the Wilkes BEACON for their part in publicizing the activities of the French Club. Without the support of the newspaper many of our affairs ' would not, have had the wide range of notice they possessed. The :s ocial Activities Committee of the Student Council did give this organization,· as they say, "a hard time". In some instances this necessary, and in the main was helpful.

For instance, •there mi,g ht be a closer persona, relationship between ·the incoming student a nd his faculty adviisor where the student's problems, aJbildties, needs, ambitions and difficulties may be thoroug,hly analyzed and integrated, and finally g iven direction. This relationship s hould continue to the graduatiori •stage, in order that the student's position could be re-defined ,i n the light of new problems and new situations. ,On the other hand there might be offered a course on "How To Study", where the student could .be familiarii:z,ed with the best availaible techniques of acquiring and integrating knowJedge, as dei'J eloped . by the present day sciences, especially in the field of psychology. · And further, an agency could be developed by the school to deters mine new and promising fields of opportunity as they are developing in industry, government, and other related aspects of our social structure, for the purpose of •g uiding the incoming student into career~ ,that may benefit the student and the community better than a hit or miss select ion. Much time, energy and iJ1Jitiative has been lost. in the past in preparing s tudents for careers in fields already overcrowded, necessitating a re-e'iiucation -of the graduate, which has proved costly in time and money. This is a situation which appears. to merit the attention of our educators. It is the hope of the mass of students that somet hing constructi ve will be done al.bout it. ' The Placemenit Service at Wilkes is a step in the riglJt direction. The student 1body will be more than willing to cooperate. Edward Jan Wasilewski ''WiLkes Colleges--where is t hat?" How many times have you heard ,s ome local citizen make that statement after you told them you were attending Wilkes. College ? Though the statement! may seem unimportant, it is a very s erious one which affects all of us. Here we have a colleg e with s eventeen hundred students; a college located in the center of a great population; and yet, a large portion of the ,p opulation does. not know WHE.tlE it exist~; neither do they. realize· . the far-reaching •effects- the college has on the community. In order to survive. Wilkes Col.lege must expand ; to expand, the college needs the support of the community. How can the colleg e receive this support if a great segment of the population does not know the colleg e exists ? The administration has .endeavored to publicize through t he newspapers the locat ion and t he work being done by the school. Unfortunately, most people rea d . only what is of interest to them. They have no desire or,.. inter est whatsoever t o help in the thing s which do not benefit them. These are the people who say, "Wilkes College--where · is that?" These people, then, are the ones who must be made acquainted with the s·chool and s hown what benefits Wilkes College ' w..ill indirectly give them. H ow can we as students make the community awar e of the fact that there is a four year college in Wilkes-Barre, which is located on South River Stre~t, which is called Wilkes College, a nd which merits the support of the community? We can do this by becoming "Wilkes conscious" oursel-ves. When someone a sks, "Wilkes College-where is that?", tell them . More,over, tell them it is a .c ollege where seventeen hundred students are enrolled, a college that now has an enrollment comparable to schools which were f'ounded many years ago with tremendous s upport from their respective communities and alumnae.

Where does the fault lie? Undoubtedly as in most other cases, the truth, rather the ·fault, lies somewhere in !between; in some resp.ects it lies with the student, in others with the school. 'I'he faculty excuses itself 1b y saying a college student is intelligent enough, ,or should 'be, to know what his own desires are. The .student counters that he has t he inrtelligence---but doesn't know the way. When a student first enter.s colleg e, in most cases, if not in all, he has no more of an idea of what he is to become or h ow he is to achieve this nebul<ius goal, tha n he is sui,e of why he is being taught certain subjects which appear to him illogical . . . . This is usually ex;plained to hiim that-education is like a doct or's prescription, to be taken all or nothing. Well; that's good enough for the time being, until the sUJbject pops up again · somewhere along the line. · To all appearanfes then, education seems to be a process of muddling through certain subjects, getting a passin,g grade--or better, · meeting the scholastic reqlllirements, and then getting a diploma; finally leaving the ,scho<;>l and tramping to the nearest ·employment agency and pl11cing oneself at their disposal.

COLO'NEL GRID:DERS ·TO OPEN SEASON ON SEPTEMBER 25 Although still in the planning stage, the Wilkes College football team wil open the curtain on its 1948 grid season on September 25 at home with St. Francis Collc;re, Loretta, Pennsylvania, as the opponent, according to Coach George· Ralston. To date there are seven games scheduled. The coming year found Wilkes on the receiving end of the away games and the Colonels will travel for five out of the seven contests. The other home game is viith King's late in l'iovember. In 1949 the tables. will be turned and Wilkes will have almost all of its grid contests scheduled for home. Other games on the sch~dule at the present time are with Mansfield .STC, Lycoming Colleg.e,: Bloomsburg STC; Rider Coll'ege,: and .Hartwick ·College. There is a. p.o ssibility that another home game will be scheduled with :Na~; tional Farm -School-now a fouryear college. LET'S GO WILl(ES .(Sports Editor's Note-With the ,next major sport schedule for this college being football in the Fall, we thought it would be nice to end his sports season with an article written last Fall by bne of the greatest sportswriters and one of the best friends we have ever hadthe late Howard W.

It can expect that it will be able to compete in its own class and win its share of games. The other requisites of winning teams after material are, of course, g ood! coaching, will-to-win and proper training. The time is not far off-1948 would be a good time to add su·c h neighboring colleges as University of Scranton, Dickinson College (at Carlisle) and .o ther colleges of that calilbre. Wilkes can compete that clas,s of football and not be ashamed of the results. College footlball in its place can do much for a school. It can helP. mold school spirit and a feeling of camaraderie which .means 'so muclf :, in after life.

There were times when we W\!re certain, That it was time to draw the curtain; So with two wins and many losses, . We'll settle down to being bosses. INTRAM'URAL SOFTBALL LEA•GUE FOLDS-AGAIN The Wilkes College Intramural Softball · League has just about folded up - following the path of least resistance and the ·beachhead established by the 1947 edition of the same program. Despite the inclusion of a commissioner -this year, the leag ue has just about closed Sihop for the 19·48 season. During the early part of the year, all the members of the eight teams in the loop were eager to play, but like most things that require cooperation and a little time - it soon began to fall apart at the seams as one by one of the members of the teams began to drop out. Another thing that might be looked into is the equipment. In the beginning there was enough equipment tp keep three games going, but near the end i-t was difficult to find enough in the way of bats, balls, and g loves to supply one game.

According to the Wilkes coach, Boyd Earl, star hurler for the local club, will probably be called upon to do the hurling. Earl has shown up well in many .p ast games and with any amount of luck tomorrow will add another victory to his win c'o lumn. The Blue and Gold batsmen will be seeking their seventh win in ten starts tomorrow. In past contests - especially of late - the local club has battled under player handicaps. Tomorrow's contest will see the drastic shift in the infield with Jimmy Davis at second, Red Brennari at shortstop and Alex Molash covering the firstbase sack in the absence of Frank Evan. The last time that Wilkes met Keystone it was a contest that saw the locals come out with a victory, but only after one of those once in a lifetime finishes. After trailing throughout most of the contest by an 8 to 1 count,. Wilkes scored 14 runs in the seventh, while the best Keystone could do during the remainder of the game was to add six more tallies - one short of dumping the proverbial applecart for the Above is Crane "Buzz" Buzby, who is one of Coach George Rals- Ralston aggregation. t on's key hurlers on the 1948 Wilkes College baseball team.

A tear' rolled 'fully down his full cheek, ran carefully around his neatly wa.~ed moustache, and trickled off th~. trim van Dyke beard to drip with a splash into a half-filled beaker of sea water. The liquid tones of the splash reverberated on the rim of the beaker and dhanged to a bright blue glow that floated upward likE: slow smoke at sunset.

I.t was all very wonderful, I mean, the way M':.". Dorsey tried the glass slipper cm -all of the contestants and finaliy chose me as the queen. ( I knew that the students had elected som~body queen, but nobody knew who , it was until tonight.) Jack Feeney, Chairman of the Affair and his two assistants Ralph Carey and Henry Collins sure did 1 a fine job of keeping the secret quiet. And then those lovely gifts I received were really the result of hard working Bill Apflebaum and his committee. First, I received a wonderful one-quarter carat ,diamond ring from · Tommy Van Scoy, the G. I. Jeweler, then S'Ome costume jewelry from the Hollywood Shop. After that, I received a gorgeous wrist watch from Morris' Square Deal Jewelry Store and a collapsable umbrella from Sears Roebuck Company, then a bottle of perfume from the Beverly Shops and a pair of nylon stockings from the Hub and two strings of pearls, a single strand from Zimmerman's, where the gowns . worn in "THE PHILADELPHIA STORY" came from, and a double strand from Meyer's Jewelry Store. I thought t hat wou ld be the end of the gifts, but no, t here were more. I received an album of Tommy Dorsey's records from the Campus Record Shop, a half slip .from the Paris Corset Shop, and tomorrow I am going down to the P. D. Q. Photo Studios to sit for a 12x15 portrait. Pardon me, diary, while I take off this beautiful corsage which Essie's Flower Shop .gave me for being chosen Queen of the WHkes Cinderellas'. Oh, yes, on my way -down to the studio tomorrow, I will wear my new hat from the Hickory Hat Company, and also the matched earring and clip set that the American Auto Stores By REESE PELTON Beacon Music Editor "I'm Getting ,s entimental Over You" will be the first selection heard this evening when Tommy Dorsey, minus his old featured sidemen but with some excellent vocalists, lifts his trombone to serenade Wilkes' dancers. Dancing will ,b egin at nine, and the band will not "pack up" until one A. M. Ticket Sales Predict Large Crowd If Wednesday's returns on ticket sales means anything, dancers can be assured that the West Side Armory floor will have no vacant spaces. An unofficial report claims that well over seven hundred tickets were sold by Wednesday afternoon; sales since then will bring the total much higher. General chairmen of the dance report that preparations are completed and that the, atmosphere of the armory will clos ely resemble a ballroom, thanks to the decoration committee. The program committee has arranged for the proper presentation of "Cinderella" and her court. There are many -s urprises in store for those in attendance tonight. Dorsey Reportedly To Be "Smooth" While those who enjoy a rousing "jump" tune will not be disappointed, latest reports on the style of the new Dorsey orchestra say that .the majority of selections will be in the old established Dorsey style -sweet. Charlie Shavers and Ziggy Elman, both featured sidemen in the old Dorsey band, have left Tommy, but with his reputation f-0.r making star-s, there need be no doubt that the trombone maestro will have a top-notch crew. . · Denny Dennis, the English singing sensation, will ·b e soloist with T. D. He has a voice similar to our own Bing Crosby, but musical sources claim he has a much deeper, fuller tone. Dorsey's new vocal group, the Stardusters, will also, appear on the stage. Cindy Candidates To Appear; One To Be Crowned At the magic hour of 12 o'cloclc, the winner of the Cinderella poll will be announced, and in a colorful ceremony she and the other contestants will be presented to the crowd. The queen will be crowned according to traditional ceremony, and gifts, donated by many individuals and firms of Wyoming Valley, will -b e presented to ·"Cinderella of '48". The eleven candidates are Peggy Anthony, Pat Boyd, Gwen Clifford, Miriam Golightly, Toni Men~gus, Artn Pavlik, Marita Sheridan, Marianna Tomasetti, Lee Weis·berger, Frances Wilkie and Peggy Woolcock. Committees General Chairman of the Ball, Jack Feeney when interviewed yesterday, said that he would like to take this time to thank the members of the committees who have gave me. What a wonderful evening it has been, I have never had such a gay time in all my life. Tommy Dorsey was wonderful, and the :bandstand was beautifully decorated by Henry Collins and his committee. The program, under the direction of Ralph Carey, went off without a hitch. I don't know what else to tell you, dear diary, therefore r will finish by saying that tonight will live forevre in my memory. I am tired and I must get to bed. Mother will ,b e surprised and happy when I tell her all about it tomorrow morning. Gee, I hate to even close this book, because it will seem as though I am closing the page on one of the highest moments of my life. But, I must, so, goodnight dear diary, you are my most •p recious_companion . LUCY ANN POLK Dorsey Chirper worked so hard to make tonight's affair a success.

Monday, 675 tickets for the affair had been sold, whieh was very good. · * * * • It was at this point that president Templeton interposed with his "suggestion" that "certain Monday-morning quarterbacks" refrain · from so much "ridicule" of Council doings., adding, "and that's for pulblication, Mr. Wolfe" to Ted Wolfe, who was taking notes on the. meeting. Mr. W-o lfe turned red and said, "Right!", knowing (as did everyone else) that the "suggestion" was aimed at ·h i.m for what he had written in Ms "Campus Highlights" the previous week. But knowing that it would be futile to argue with the Council, Mr. Wolfe remained silent. Obviously, thought Mr. Wolfe, president Templeton didn't know (1) that in spite of anything that might be said, Mr. Wolfe . was extremely glad that his column was being so widely read, (2) that in saying what he did, Mr. Wolfe was only voicing the opinion of most of the students, and (3) that not only the Cinderella Ball, but also "Now is the time for us to translate our thoughs into action by past Council events have received beaucoup (French for "much") valudeveloping friendship and cooperation,", said Harold Russell, Winner able publicity in "Compus Highlights". · · of Academy Award, just before this picture was taken of him, Dr. 'Actually, rwolfe -s miled inwardly, because he knew that no columnist becomes a good one until he has been deraiied 3 or 4 times Farley and Dean George Ralston at last Tuesday's assembly.

COUNTING CINDY BALLOTS lege Coronation Ball. E1.reryone seemed to be in agreement with this except president Templeton, who, in a rather lengthy manner, gave his opinion as to why the ticket should no be granted·. It wa ,s his con. tention that petty grieva~ces with the rival college in the past would prevent Wilkes' extending any favors to King's. But in an individual vote; it was unanmously decided to give the tickets to thl) royal couple. It was then suggested that as many Council males as possible should wear tuxedos at the <Cinderella Dance, in order to distinguish them from the rest of the crowd as the hosts. of the affair. This seemed to be a good ,s uggestion as it seems to be the custom in other schools, and will be considered further. * * • * BE.AJOON Editor Hank Anderson was again present at the meeting to attempt to increase his "batting" average (he had effected the passing of 2 out of 3 proposals at the previous meeting), but thi.s time he struck out. Anderson's propo'sal was that a 6th "Oscar" award be given for the best performance in YOU CAN'T T.AJKE IT WITH YOU. This additional award would cost only 6 ·or 7 dollars, but the Council acted as though it were an extra 6 or 7 hundred dollars. Feeney made a motion -that the award be given. On the question, it was mentioned - . . that since the play was given last summer, it was therefore not under I Left to nght---.Henry Collms, Jaok Feeney and Ralp_h Carey, memthe jurisdiction of this Council, which was elected the following sem- hers of .the Student Council in charge of the Cinderella Ball, are seen ester.

President Templeton replied "It would not, because they tonight's Ball. had a Council then." A ·vote was called for which ·b ecame a tie, 4-4, but with pre&idenrt Templeton's vote it was 5-4. So, the award will not be given. PRESENTS FOR CINDERELLA President Templeton asked ·acidly, "Is there anything else, Mr. Anderson?"

For it is something all ·s tudents look for a~d all profes-s;rs strive for. · Next the student wants to know how well the professor knows hi-s subject. And this is a reasonable request; after all, he is ,paying for .the knowledge, and as a cash cust ol1'\ er, he is enti tled to a decent product. At any rate ~e opines there is not much s ense to the blind leading the blind. The student is quick to detect extraordinary ability in a profes-s or to which he responds with a will and enthusiasm . Needless 1 to say, that is what he is looking for .... and admires. On the other hand, the student is just 'a s quick to detect a deficiency or unpreparedness in a professor, who usually hides behind a screen of ambiguities and equivocations in his lectures, examinations and :mar-king system. Such a procedure cannot elicit respect 'from any individual, and the student is no exception. Finally the student expects the professor to be a good sport to whom he ca ngo with his problems, or for further explanation of something that wasn't quite clear i n a lecture, · or just for a friendly chat on some interesting -p oint of everyday life. That's the personal side of teaching, now what does the student expect in the w,ay of teaching ?

In spite of t he many pleas that students have· hurled at ,Council members outside of session, the Council has made no attempt to hold the dance in any other place. It's a good thing Tommy Dorsey has been ·h ired for the affair instead of Art ,Mooney (as it was originally planned) else attendance at the dance would probably be pitifully small.

The plays were directed by student directors, under the supervision of Mr. Alfred Groh, advisor of the Thespian organization. The first play, · SUPPRESSED DESIRES, was directed by Miss Charlotte Davis. It was a play pertaining to p!,!ychology. The cast included Francis Markowitz, Jane Reese and Dick Schroeder.

Thirty-five students, who have sacrif iced a few hours weekly, will exhibit the fruits of their labor before the public. Eight band selections and three instrumental solos will comprise the program.

ELLIOT LAWRENCE FOR KING'S COLLEGE According to an article recently published in the "Crown", newssheet of King's College, that institution wos fortunate enough to secure Elliot Lawrence, 23 year-old maestro, and his orchestira as the band for their annual -Coronation Ball. It seems that Art Mooney, who was originally s<:heduled as the band-lead~r, was recently rush,e d to the hospital, suffering froon a stomach condition. We don't know how rthe student body of King's took the change, but it's our hunch that they were, or should be, pleased. Moon,y undoubtedly has a top ~notch novelty band, but Lawrence will provide danceable music . . ZIGGY ELMAN QUITS ROAD FOR STUDIO "Fifiteen years is enough. I'm through with the road." Tha,t's how Ziggy Elman feels about travel these day,s . Last month he quit Tommy Dorsey "for good" and decided to become a local yokel. of Hollywood. He is n9w sitting · out the probationary time required by the Musicians Union before he can join t he Los Angeles local. He plans to land a studio job in the Hollywood area. Ziggy, who hit the big-itime playing trombone for Benny Goodman eleven years ago, hopes t o eventually wind up as a conductor. But, whatever happens, he doesnt plan t o buy any bus or t rain tickets for a long time.

Then too, a .good teacher is never a boss. He is, instead, a guide who helps to ·s timulate and maintain the student's interest toward gain· ing a fuller knowledge, and a mastery in the use of that knowledge in a particular field. A good teacher builds up a desire to learn. The teacher should ever keep aware of the state of learning of his , students; to s et a pace of teaching that will challenge their .c ap~city and not throw t hem into a state of hopelessness by demanding too much or, too little. It is a well-known fact that, the one who is doing the learning-, must .do the learning, ibut .1t is also true that, those doing the teaching must do the teaching. The task of the faculty is to equip the student mep.tally and morally so that the student may eventually "go it alone". The ultimates that the faculty should aim at are: efficiency in the application of the talent and energy of t he student; inculcating in him a sense of justice in dealing with others; and finally, facilitating the creative freedom of the s tudent insofar as each individdual is provided with the widest opportunity to express the uniqueness of his own personality- thereby enriching t he lif e of all. Quite an order, but the teaching is quite a r espon<1ibility. QUALITY FRANK CLARK Jeweler 63 South Main Street DEEMER & CO.

Y., 1948 GREAT MllSCHIEF is the story of a nineteenth-eentury pharmacist in the city of Charleston, .S. C. A quiet thoughtful man, Timothy Partridge, age 35, bachelor, under his :liorceful sister's benevolent-but _firm thumb, finds release in studying books of sorcery and witchcraft. He finda them easily credible because of his childhood tutoring from_ his Negro mammy, Ma um Rachel. She wa,s well versed in charms, hexes, and too-doo. Through his study and natural inclinations he is ripe for the picking of his soul. He is visited by a witch-.Sinkinda, who is 'sin, kinda'. She is the curvaceous hag who rides him, seduces him, -and even finagles an audience with Satan for him. Under the "Advel'sary's influence, he 'i>urns -h is home. His sister is in it at the time, but he feels more released than pentinent about it. Though his ideas of Good and .E.'vil are not those of his neighbors, or rather, his morals are not, be cannot accept Satan wholeheartedly. Because of this he resigns himselft to the acceptanc~ of retribution on Judgment Day___.:.which he believes has come when Charleston's famous earthquake hits. !GREAT M:ISOHIEF is a book to give one pause----it.he length of the pause to be determined by the d'egree of the reader's ·b elief or, nonbelief in witches. At the least, it provides a light, amusing evening. At most, provides a fascin·a ting subjec,t to ponder over. Mis~ Pinckney bas made the hag, Sin-kinda, seem plausible and very charming-even when she rides Timothy through the streets of Charleston till cocks crow. The description of Hell is almost worth the price of the book itself. The author has skillfully balanced fantasy with a sort of psychological realism. The result is an engaging and provocative novel, written with irony, imagination and great literary ability. I 1-------:---••------·-·-·-·-·~·-··-··-·-··--··~---~-----i- The Student CouncH surprised Chairman Charles Templeton at last Monday's meeting by presenting him with a neatly full attendance, and he opened the meeting with a somewhat dazed, but hap.p y look. After Council scrivner Mitzi Purcell called the roH and read the minutes, the •b usiness of· the evening got underway. Appropriations Committee Chairman George Brody announced that he had no business to report this week, so the floor was -taken by ,Social Chairman Jack Feeney. Mr. Feeney reported that the Senior dinner-dance formal planned for June 6 could not be held at either of the country clubs in the Valley due to the fact that those places have been reserved for other activities. As a precaution, Feeney had the Irem. Temple Club reserved for June 3, and the Hotel .Sterling's Admiral · Stark room for June 5. A discussion folJowed and an individual vote was taken. · It developed that the Sterling deal for June 5 would be more favorable than June 3 because the senior exams will have ended' by then, thus allowing the atudents to have a better ,time with exam worries behind them. Thomas, Sheridan, Calilahan, Brody, and Collins ·agreed to that. Mr. Burak -wanted it moved•up or back a week; but concurred wirth Feeney's suggestion that weddings, etc. would draw from the crowd. Boyle suggested that the seniors decide the question at one of their meetings, whereupon Chairman Templeton repli84 "Have you ever been to one of their meetings?" Senior Ralph Carey said it made no difference to him when th~y hold it, and Miss Lawlor · agreed with Boyle. Final decision was the Sterling on June 5. . -Concerning the _Cinderella Ball, Feeney stated that voting cards would be sent out this week, and tickets were being printed. On the question of awards, Chairman Templeton announced that pins for members of the Thespians, Beacon, Yearbook, Choral Club, Band, and Wilkes "forgotten group", the Cheerleaders, were being considered. Individual awards for the Beacon will be made, and will probably be plaques instead of pins. Participants in Thespians' activities will eb eligible to receive awards whether or not they are members of that organization. This decision arose from the fact that many students who have taken .p art in the plays have not necessarily been Thespians. These persons would •be eligible only for ,s pecial awards, though, not pins. No final choice of ,s tyle has been decided on, ,b ut several •companies, the American School Su:gply, the Balfour Company, and· others will be checked. Cost in all will run tentatively around $150, and Thomas moved that a commttee be appointed for the purpose of spend'ing that amount and more if necessary. During the discussion, Carey interrupted with, "I have a bone to ,pick, but in so doing I don't want to ·seem selfish. Student ,Councils in other -schools have always _bad pins, and I don't see why we should be an exception." Templeton re.p lied that it was alreardy being looked into. Council awards will be in the form of key6, and each of the four officer-s would have the name of his office engraved on the key. Carey agreed and added that the college name and the year served be included also. It was agreed that a key would be appropriate and more outstanding than a pin. Boyle shggested tie pins or -broaches, as the case might be, and added, "A,s long as it's for us, why limit the budget?", with which everyone was in agreement. ~he question of amending Article 4 of the Council's Constitution was taken up. The amendment would have freshman Council nominations held no later than the 4th week of the fall semester, and elections no later than the 6th week. All other nominations would be held no later than the 4th week of April, with election the 1st week of May. A special election would be held fQT vacancies occurring. Members elected in the spring would be requried to attend the last three meetings of the current Council in order to learn procedure. On the question, Boyle declared that Article 4 cou,ld not be amended untii Article 3 was. If this wasn't done, then newly-amended Article 4 would read " ..... those elected in the spring ...... ". with Article 3 reading ". ..... those elected in the fall term ..... ." Chairman 'Templeton declared the amendment out of order until "certain ambiguous terms were straightened out." The -Council acted as a committee of the whole on the Beta Gama Chi's budget, which• asked for $90 to cover the remainder of the semester's activities. Mentioned were coke parties, teas, and a Senior Women's Dinner to -b e held near the end of the -s emester. The last called for $30 from the Student Activities Fund, with the sorority paying anything over that amount. This would cover costs, including refreshment, awards, etc. Callahan asked, ''Would this be in order? It seems that everyone is invited to all the parties except , the- Dinner.''

Leaving the Andolora crew, he formed a combo that held forth for some time at Lilly Laike.

The music we heard at Fogarty's included everyithing from novelties, through rhumbas, to ballads.

THEc@HUB 1 THE MELTON PLANS TO DOUBLE ON TROMBONE Jack Melton, popular local dance-band leader, recently disclos~d to this columnist that he is planning to play trombone, as wel'l as trumpet with his orchestra. Jack, who memorizes all of the trumpet music he plays, expects to acquire new effects by being able to use two troi-nbones in harmony. Readers of this column will undoubtediy recall that band-leader Sonny Dunham, among others, is featured on both instruments; Wyoming Valley dancers will soon see a trumpet-trombone playing band-leader. The greater versatility provided by doubling on sliphorn wil,l make the already popular •M elton aggregation even better. Theresa Lane,' the latest Melton canazy, handles vocal,s with a natural ease and puts much personality into ballads. We've heard vocalists with better voices, but Theresa's vivacity more than makes up for any slight flaws.. Another asset to Jack is Joe Sa:bailesky, who plays first aito sax with the band and writes most of the arrangements. Among his best is "The Man I Love", which has been a favorite with Melton fans for ,s ome time. The sweet Me1ton style is constantly attracting attention.

By TOM MORAN 1 "'DIS 00.AiLK, MISTER?'' The Wilkes bench, Umpire Mickey Noonan, and a portion of "the Wyoming Seminary infield were nudged into a few hearty chuckles this past Tuesday afternoon at Nesbitt Stadium. · -It all s tarted when Ralston decided he would replace Charlie Swanson, -the Wilkes catcher'; with Joe Deschak, in the Colonels' half of the fifth inning. Not having reached the decision to make the change until he arrived at the third-base coaching box, Ralston swung around quickJ.y and yelled, "Deschak. Tell Deschak to bat for Swanson." One of the younger generation · standing about the sideline ho.ping to obta1n a broken bat and eager to please everyone in general, picked up his ears at the first crackle of Ralston's voice. He heard, " Deschak" and then the wind took the rest of the message wit,h it. A frantic search throug.h his pockets produced a small white object and he began .r unp.ing toward Ralston in the third~base coaching box, "Here it is mii&ter, You want DIS Ol!AJLK." Even 'IChalkie" Deschaik got a few snickers out of it. STUDEN'I' GOVERNMENT (continued from page 2) Boyle replied, "'11here would be no harm in that. It's a last get together, and, perhaps the last time the girls will see each other." Answered .Callahan, "But . if we start ,something, it'U just keep the ball rolling, and other clubs will want to do the same thing." Boyle i;eplied that ''those other' clubs would :be dealt with later, if and when such ·a case .should arise." The bu<lget was passed with one "nay". To Boyle's question, "Would it be possible to have a member of the Student Council appointtid to the Athletic Council?", Dean George Ralston replied, "I don't se why not. He would. be welcome, and I would heartily recommend it. The question of hi,s voting -p ower would have· to be settled, but that could easily be taken care of. And it's anpther means of check and balance." The matter will be considered. With that, the meeting was adjourned, and the Council had accomplished. a great deal in it's. 47 minute ·,session.

All, however, was not brig.ht for Sam.my. He was having Student Council trouble. He was encountering much · opposition from that worthy body in his attempts to interest its members in several projects he wished to initiate. Being a lower senior, hi s college career was nearing its end, and he was determined that he should leave behind something for which he would be remembered and loved. To that -end he appeared at student council meeting with varied and involved proposals. First, Sammy introduced his .p lan for the creation of the International Organization of Plutonium HuntPA TRICIA BOYD ers- In Canada.

As .Sammy explained to the council, he had once re.a d in 'Miss Dix's column (he stated that he "just couldn't start the day's activities until I have read Dorothy Dix")he had read a letter to Miss Dix in w.hich a sailor had ,related an incident which bad occurred when he had returned home after six months sea duty. When the sailor entered his home and went into the kitchen, he found his wife and a strange man having coffee together. When the sailor asked if he could join them, the man said, "You get out of here or I'll make plenty of trouble for you." "Was I within my rights in demanding that I be given a cup of coffee?" the sailor had asked, ahd for the first ti-me in her career, Dorothy Dix had been at a loss for an answer .. Here indeed, Sammy told the council, was the opportunity of a lifetime for Wilkes students to aid a fellow man. Somebody had to set the sailor straight-why shouldn't the help come from Wilkes College? The council, after some debate, was about to aJ}prove plans for the formation of the committee when one of its members pointed out that since the event which had so disconcerted the sailor had taken place sometime ago, the situation had probably resolved itself one way or another by this time, to the advantage of the sailor or otherwise. ~he other members of the council then were forced to agree that Sammy's proposal was withMIRIAM GOLIGHTLY out merit.

Her soft, low voice and her blond hair will help Toni in her ambition to become a marketeer for which she is studying a Commerce and Finance course in her first year at Wilkes. Toni is a member of the Student Council, IRC, and the Choral Club. She graduated from Clifton High School in 1947 and while there she participated in the Dramatics and Choral Clubs. Some of her favorite hobbies are swimming, tennis and horseback riding. Italy is now a part of western Europe and not of the Bal,k ans. Italy, as poverty-stricken and demoralized by war and defeat as s he was, still had enough courage, enough vision, to vote down the Communists. Elections that took place Sunday and Monday were more than political and party choices. They were choices of cultures and systems, the choice ·of one way of life over another. The Italian people themselves actually felt as though they were choosing between Russia and the United States-and they were. Italy's future, despite the excellent choice she made poli.tically, will certainly not be an easy one, but the stage has been set and from here on in it is the ability and faith of fthe actors that counts. The huge wave of Communist aggression threatening to blanket F.uro.p e has come to an abrupt halt in the land where just a few short yeaiis ago General Mark Clark's Fifth Army was slowly pushing and slogging its way to victory. Out of this haze and uncertainty should come the realization by Americans of just how valuable the policies and principles of democracy are. The Communi,sts and their henchmen have retained about onethird of the electorate votes, which is sufficient to cause confusion and disruption in Italy. More important, however, is unity among the anti-Communists with the solid power in the hands of the Christian Democrats. Led by Premier Alcide de Gasperi, the Christian Democrats took the ' election by a greater majority than was expected. It is virtually assured ·that for the next five years Italy will be governed by anti-Communists and anti-Fascists. Only revolution or war is likely to change that picture, and revolution possibilities are greatly reduced because of the severe defeat the Communists suf- ANN PAVLIK A lovely ex-WAVE, ANN ·P AVLIK hails from Edwardsville, and is the only service woman represented.

"l3ut this", said Ed Boyle, "would cause hard feelings among the ~acuity", and Feeney agreed. The amendment was defeated, and the motion to invite the entire faculty was passed. On the question of hiring a band for the affair, Feeney suggested ,Spade Cooley. Boyle said that it shouldn't be hard· to get a good band, to which Council Chairman Charles Temple~ ton replied, "Yes, .,but we'd ·b etter start looking now.'' Concerning the Cinderella Ball, Feeney mentioned that no return contract had ,b een received from the orchestra as yet. He also announced that a sport dance would ·b e held in the ,St. Stephens' Church House Saturday night. Chairman Templeton then read Article 4 of the Council's constitution concerning amendments to it. This was followed by Mechak's reading of a petition (signed with the necessary 20 names) which asks that Article 4 ibe amended to the effect that the time of holding Council . elections be changed. The new system suggested by the petition would have elections for the sophomore, junior, and senior representatives held ,the first ·w eek in May instead of in the fall, with pominations for same to be held no later 'than the 4th week of kpril. Freshman elections would be held no later than the 4th week of the fall -s emester. On the question, Callahan asked about Council status during the summer session, and Templeton replied that a Council is considered in office until replaced by a new. ,election. Mechak thought the new system would give the newly-elected members a chance to get acquainted and to formulate policies. · The motion was referred for later action. . The question of aw.al'ds was brought to the floor, and Boyle suggested that the Awards -Committee "get hot" and make some. Clfairman Templeton reminded him tha't the Committee would assemble after the meeting, adding that it was presently considering Thespian awards. Dean George Ralston's suggestion that the band be considered, too, receiv~ Templeton's promise to "look in'to it". Dean Ralston also mentioned something about a student collegiate organization. It was recalled ·that one had been organized in 1987, -b ut was disbanded on the grounds that it had a -s light tinge of pi-nk.

Beacon Meeting Monday By REED llOWREY The Roth Players, previously known as the WBRE-FM Playhouse, which W~f, founded by Al Moskowitz and Sylvia Roth, · is now entering its s~nd suc~essful year. This radio dramatics group, although not officially -connected in any way with the. school, · is co~-· prised -largely of talent that is en.: rolled in Wilkes College. The organizatiQ,j'l had its' beginning in February 1947 when' Al Moskowitz procured fifteen minutes free air time and togethe;r with Sylvia Roth, Sheldon Frieq, Edythe Rudolph, Narcy Perkowski, Martha Hoyle, and Harold Reln presented their first radio drami. They secured more air time until finally when they were heard on WERE in the summer of 1947 a full hour was devoted to presenting their plays. T,h e Playhouse continued on WBRE' for three months under the direction of Al Moskowitz until he 'left the group to study at ,t he New · School of Social Research in New York. Sylvia Roth then took 0ver the directorship of the group ~iitil illness · forced her to retire, at which time Joe Hudak, the present director, took over. A£ter a summer on WERE- the group returned to the FM ' circuit where they remained, with the exception of a short sojourn on WBAX, until taken up by WtHWL at thebeginning of 1948. At present the group is com'posed of 28 people including: Joe Hudak, Director; Al Colmer, Jr., Producti~n Manager; Don Wolburg, Business Manager; Mary MaJoney, Treasurer; Narcy Perkowski; .Sheldon Fried; M,a,rtha Hoyle; Edythe Rudolph; Beverly Broadt; Arvilla Travis; and Ted Warcomski. As a tribute to the late Sylvia Roth, o.n e of the charter members of the organization, the group decided to change the name ,t o "The. Roth Payers". I,t is under this name .that the program is heard every Sunday ·' afternoon on WHWL from 12:80 until i:(}0 P. M. . Wilkes College Thespians, under the direction of Mr. Alfred Groh, told THE PHILADELPHIA SID&Y last night in a very professional manner. ~s witnesses to that fact are the nearly 1000 people who attended the play at the Irem Temple, The play concerns a wealthy Philadelphia family, the Lords. Tracy Lord is about to take her second swing at wedded bliss. Complications set in when two reporters from a magazine descend upon the stately howiehold in order to get a story on how the other half lives-the half with the money. From here, the plot goes round and round. Tracy thinks she is in love, with her husband to be, she falls in love with Connor .the reporter, but Liz the other reporter is in love with Ccmnor, Dexter, Tracy's former husband is· still in love with Tracy and hopes to prevent the marriage. A mid-night swi~ming expedition by Tracy ·a nd Connor, brought on ,by a case of champagne, thoroughly infuriates the prospective groom. He leaves in a huff. Connor offers to marry Tracy, but she realizes it, would not work, so :Liz gets her boy. All this time, faithful De:x;ter is in the ib~ckground, and finally catches Tracy on the first :bounce. So Tracy ·and Dexter wind up 'r ight back where they were before the play started. · As the curtain parted the .p lay began with a · slow phh-t-t-t, but gr'!l,dually gat11ered momentum and became a continuous chain of improvements. The role of Macaulay Connor, the reporter, was played by Mr. iPaul Thomas, and played well . Perhaps the reason for this is that he did not try to imitate James Stewart. Mr. Thomas's timing and delivery were perfect--he WAS Connor. Miss Marilyn Broad't handled her .p art well, but she appeared to be imitating LuciUe Ball imitating Katherine Hepburn. Miss Broadt was not the convfocing ,p erson the role of Tracy called for. Mr. Bruce MacKie did himself right proud in the role of Sandy Lord, the ,o nly son. Mr. MacKie was straining at the leash throughout the play but his part would not allow him to cut completely loose, he enjoyed his part, himsef and made both enjoyable for the audience. The surprise of the evening was Uncle Willie of the booming voice and garter snapping; fingel's, played by Mr. William Griffith Uncle Willie just wa:sn't going to qe denied w,:hen he was on . stage. Miss Ruth Richards as Uz lmbrie, Connor's girl friend had complete control of her part. She handled her lines and , herselr' surely and competently,_ She was Miss Efficiency herself. • Miss Joan Wylie, a little girl somewhere· in the neighborhood of being five feet tall, played the part of the young daughter, Dinah Lord. How so much talent, energy and · appeal can be packed into such a small bundle goes to prove the old bromide. The groom to be, George Kittredge was played by Mr. Arthur Sofa-and Mr. Sofa was certainly George Kitteredge, the stuffy, porn~ pous, suspecting lover. He was unbearable alright. Mr. Jack Feeney portrayed C. K. Dexter Haven the discarded husband. Handsome and spirit.et! F eene's fir st whirl at dramatics can certainly be placed on the credit side of the ledger. Handsome because of good health and the hub's sport jacket, and spirited because of his irood lefit arm with which he delivered the punch line of the play. But, Mr. Feeney did get excited in a few spots. and spoke his lines too rapidly. The mama and papa roles of Margaret Lord and Seth Lord were played by Miss Norma J. tPersiani and Mr. Reese Pelton . Both had a I part to play, parts that called for underacting, they underacted with ease and assurance. i The nightwatchman's part ·o f Mac was in the stickey hands of Mr. Joseph Berger. One line he had to recite and he fluffed it. But he looked like a watchman! The roles of the maid 'E lsie and the butler Thomas were quietly handled ·b y Miss Shirley Babcock and Mr. William Toplis . THE PHILADE!ImHIA STORY will be presented for the second and finial ti.me tonight at the Irem Temple. Curtain time is 8:30. The curtain calls, the applause and laughter that accompanied last night's performance proves that the Thespians' presentation of THE P(HILADELPHJA ,STORY deserves to lbe commended and attended. · I l--·--·~----··-··-·-•-•·-··-··-·-··-··- ·-··- ·-··-··-··-··-··-·--+ • ROTlI PLAYKRS ENT.ER SECOND RADIO YEAR cards will be received at a box set aside for the contest in the WilkesBarre post office.
