Union Explained by Grossm The press is not united. This is the great misapprehension that stains the country. There is an inbred suspicion that newspaper editors and the heads of television news departments arrange secret consultations to agree on who should be destroyed by the printed and oral word today. I will not defend the press, because freedom to print and say may be the only safeguard in America against a fascist state. It's the snarling watchdog, sniffing, probing, digging for hidden crime in high places. When the errant son of a big advertiser is nabbed for drunken driving, the men on the city desk gulp. H they publish it, daddy may withdraw his ads. If they don't, the competition will publish the story. On TV I get along well with Howard Cosell. At ABC, he worked the sports desk while I did a daily program on the Eichmann trial. And yet he is one of the "cubs" who forms an opinion before he understands the subject. For 13 years, I worked in an office adjoining Walter Winchell's. He was earning $1,000 a week to my $45. Walter assured me that he could make or break anybody, including the President. What he could break - and did - was his family. When he was buried, one of the most famous men in America had two mourners, a daughter and a rabbi. The girl sent the rabbi away. Gore Vidal wrote a book called "Burr." In the manner of those other eminent writers, Norman Mailer and Truman Capote, they tire of research and fill the blanks with what they think may have happened. The insult to the reading public is deepened when these fiction-fact books are referred to as "a new art form." I do not appreciate these "writers." James Kilpatrick, a columnist has spent a lot of time telling the Supreme Court when its decisions were wrong or right. Between times, he treated readers to dissertations on why Richard Nixon was a fine President. After all these years, he has deserted Nixon. If nothing else, this places in sharp focus the human weaknesses of the media. It isn't a plot; it isn't collusiqn; its frailty. DAMNED BY PRAISE Frequently, readers ask if there is anyone I dislike. This, by animadversion, indicates that I center my stories on people I admire. Years ago, James Knight of the Knight Newspapers said: "Jim Bishop doesn't offend people." It was low praise indeed. AJI newspapers are perpetually pitted against all others. The nature of the business is to get it first and get it right. It doesn't matter who is involved, or what. A reporter may have three hours in which to get an assignment from his boss, rush out to reach it and write it at a length suitable to the city desk. Are newspapers and the gentlemen who read the news on television ever wrong? Everyday. No one has ever managed to assemble 200 separate stories and get them all right. Often, the personal bias of the reporter or commentator creeps into the copy. Sadly, they are not gods. They are working stiffs. Example: Jimmy Cannon and I were friends. We started as copy boys on The New York Daily News. He died a few weeks ago. In 40 years, we never agreed. He carved his phrases and polished them, but I had to read five paragraphs to find out what the hell he was writing about. He would kill a man to use a good phrase. He found out that Emil Griffith, a good fighter, made women's hats as a hobby. Cannon called him a "swish hitter." He asked what I thought of it. I held my nose. MATES FOR THE MIGHTY I cite these items to show that the media is so busy fighting itself I marvel that it has time to probe the sins of others. Arthur Brisbane was the highest paid columnist I knew, but he imported two women woodchoppers from the State of Washington - each six feet of muscle and jaw - to chop a tree, and wrote: "Any red-blooded American would be proud to marry either of these ladies." I threw up on his column. A city editor assigned me to join a nudist • colony because he thought it was a sex factory. It wasn't. When I told him, he said: "Write it." So I wrote about naked people shaking hands. He spiked it. "One more like that," he warned, "and you're through." The press, to put it concisely, consists of 100,000 disparate mentalities working to keep 200,000,000 people informed. It's not a perfect system. But it's better than any other ... Beacon ....

Ph o to by Bill Stah l E d itor and Publish er as proud of the two young men because they joined with him in the writing of a professional paper on "A Magnetically Driven Flexure Fatigue Apparatus, " which appeared in. the "Metallurgical Transactions, " a magazine for people engaged in engineering. "It's highly unusual to have papers published in a professional journal when you are a student," Orehotsky pointed out. "But these young· men deservetl it and the article has brought many inquiries." The professional paper that describes the fatig ue tester isn't something that the average person would curl up with and read for pure enjoyment. To an engineer it means something, but to a layman it is something he might consider browsing through if he were trapped in an old submarine and had nothing else to read. It took Dr. Orehotsky to describe the instrument in good five-eent English. " Think of ~ large airplane," he began. "You know that there is give or flexability in the wings with the amount being in direct proportion to the size and the amount of stress." Gaining assurance that this was understandable, the young engineering instructor continued. " Everything that is built and that undergoes stress has a tolerance point. A point at which it cannot stand more stress fatigue - and then it breaks. That is what this machine or fatigue - or tester does - it measures the strength of metal under stress." The testing of small pieces of metal and the determination of the fatigue factor can be translated to larger pieces of the same metal. The ultimate goal, as Dr. Orehotsky explained it, is to use information gained fromJ his instrument to make improvements in metal and giv~ it longer life. Actually the fatigue tester that provides the college with a valuable instruction aid without a $100,000 expenditure is a product of a tragedy that cost the college in excess of $14-million in flood loss in June 1972. The major portion of the parts that went into the construction of the fatigue tester were salvaged from many inches of mud, taken apart and cleaned. Some of the gauges still show signs of the brown river water that swept through the engineering department. · WQen asked to place a price tag on the home-made fatigue tester, Dr. Orehotsky said it was impossible. "These students built it out of notl:ting and it would cost close to $100,000 to buy the more sophisticated instrument on the retail market," he said. When Kurt joins Walter in the outside world after graduating in May, it will mean ~that the two Wilkes graduates will have left behind their personal gift in the form · of an extremely expensive and useful fatigue tester. �Page 4 w MEN ,,J 1' :fllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll,1111111111111 A,n THE BEACON Jane Fonda On Women ,9 ~Notes From Dikaial :11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111! / ~xism bothers me, but I can ahnost write off a chauvinistic male as just an ignorant person. When a woman participates in such games I am totally disgusted. ' The othe~ evening, after a night on the town 1? ), a male friend and myself decided to stop at a local restaurant before proceeding home. The place was packed with both college students and some older fo~s who had apparently been at a local organization's annual party. Across from us sat two lovely women, _p erhaps 21 or 22 ye~rs old. In back of us was a group of a~oll:t ten people, five husband and wife couples. They were in their mid thirties. After a while one of the husbands decided to come over and talk with the two women. They laughed and joked with him, and smiled very cutely. Before long, the husband got around to the "typical" question so many. men seem to ask _in one form or another: "What do you worry about most: your legs; your hips, or your breasts?" . I_ c~oked on n:1Y coffee when I heard the question as did my friend. Thinki_ng that this_ was going to be the end of his game, surely the women are going to tell this guy to "smack off" after a question like that. But no it '":as only the beginning. The women fulfilled their role very nicely. They giggled (embarrassed, of course), gave the question some thought and came up with their answer. ' . The question _I h~ve to ask is when are women going to stop participating in such barbaric rituals? When are we going to have enough pride about ourseI:ves that we are not going to allow such games to go on? Most men a·r e not going to stop playing; it is up to women to say - -, I will not be a party to such crap. The Women's Movement is involved with three basic areas of concern: ~he personal, the collective, and the political. All three areas are interrelated, but here I am most concerned with the personal. The message that women no longer have to look to men for their reason for being is com!ng ove_r loud and clear. That women should develop both a sens~ of confidence in themselves and a sense of responsibility to themselves is of the utmost importance. • ' What is even ~ore basic tha~ "equal rights" and "job equality," is the need for a certain degree of pride and dignity. These feelings must come from women themselves if we are to get the respect and treatment we wa~t. The age of the coy and fli~tatious female is gone. She is no longer desira_ble by ~n)'.one who_ feels disgust at such phony, superficial, insipid behavior. This, in fact; is perhaps the hardest battle in the movement today - ~ ot only m~st we overcome a male-dominated society, but we must cope with the brainwashed dizzy female as well. When women learn to re_sp~ct themselves as women and as human beings, the rest of the society will in turn be forced into acknowledging our presence as people rather than as objects.

(Molly Haskell, Village Voice). Jane Fonda, well-known actress and sex star, has lately come out of her self-a_bsorbed world and into the international political scene causing a c~rt_ain ~oncer~ amon~ members of the administration and other highly distingmshed figures in the political world. She has within the past few years, dev~lo1;>ed strong, if not outspoken, feelings about contemporary controversial issues - notably the role the United States has taken in the Indochinese affair. Miss Fonda went to school at Vassar for two years before she dropped out and went to live the Left Bank Life in Paris where she studied painting. After much persistent urging fr~m a dear friend, she returned to the United States to study acting. She returned to France, married Roger Vadirn, and continued her career as an actress for five years. Fonda made her decision to come back to the United States in 1968 when she viewed fihns of that horrifying night in Chicago when the police decided to vent their frustrations on the local long-hairs: "I felt a need to find out, to look for answers to what was happening to my own country. I felt remote and JANE FONDA ve~y curious about the mood that lot and ! was able to see the degree could have produced what I was to which growth was literally watching."

Although some of the pieces exhibited were made by area residents, many of the older quilts were made by their ancestors . Appliqued as well as pieced and patchworked quilts will be shown. "Pennsylvania Quilts" is designed to show quiltmaking as an art form. Since the very beginning, quilting and patchwork have been far removed from the closed world of the arts. It has generally been regarded as a handicraft. Many of the quilts are highly refined visual statements which demonstrates the unselfish sharing of new ideas for the beautification of practical items. Although quilting originated long before the landing of.the Mayflower, it did not flourish until after that time. The patchworked and appliqued quilt can truly·be considered an American art form. The recent revival of quiltmaking and the renewed respect and admiration for our quiltmaking heritage are a tribute to the artistry of American women.

It is true that we do have many fine institutions in the area which promote both popular and the "higher" cultural activities, but the area could use a boost in these areas. Governor Milton Shapp has a proposal which could be of great benefit to the area both economically an~ culturally. The governor has proposed that a state center for the fine arts be constructed near the Francis E. Walter dam not far from Wilkes- Barre. The center would be constructed on state owned land along the Lehigh River and would be a tribute to a II the fine aj ts, music, dance, painting, etc ., and to the rYa tion's Bicentennial. The proposed opening date of the center would be July Fourth, 1976. The state center has been proposed as the future summer home of such talented insti t ut ions as the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Pitt sburgh Ballet. This would open up new experiences to the people of not only the Wi I kes- Barre-Scranton area, but to the people of all Northeastern Pennsylvania. The Pocono Mountain area is presently a national tourist attraction and Wyoming Valley receives its share of the profits. The arts center would also be an influence in drawing more of the tourism , . industry to the area and cou Id help it economically. , But the center may never be built. There are many people in state government who are opposed to the construction of the center because it would cost the state over 35 million dollars. · Opponents to the plan claim that the state is already spending too much of the taxpayers' money and that a cultural center is not ne ded. ,Because of such feelings, the bill authorizing the funding and construction of the center may never even leave committee and come up before the legislature for a vote. \ )Jeaeon Ed itor-in-Chief .......... .... ...................................... .

Most noteworthy was the contrasting opinions of two members of the panel, Bruce Herschensohn, a White House assistant, and Robert Semple, a deputy national news editor of the New York Times. Herschensohn declared emphatically that a considerable bias exists on the part of the reporters who cover the Washington scene. This bias, favoring liberals and Democrats, prevails in the news media . . To obtain greater objectivity in the face of this bias, he suggested that each television newscast offer two opposing viewpoints in reporting the news, much like the William Buckley - John K. Galbraith debates at the 1972 Presidential conventions. Semple disagreed completely with Herschensohn's analysis, an opinion in which I concur. He acknowledged that there was some biased reporting, but on the whole, most newsmen were generally successful in their attempts at objectivity. The next panel discussion considered the formulation of U.S. foreign policy. A wide range of American foreign policy positions were discussed. The final panel addressed itself to the relations between the President and Congress. Included in this group was Rep. John Anderson of Illinois.

STUFFI' . �THE BEACON Page 4 Stevens Sets Art Exhibit Linda Stevens, a senior in the Wilkes College Department of Art, is shown working on one of her string constructions, which she will exhibit with other works at Conyngham Gallery from Sunday, April 28 to May 3. Miss Stevens is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Stevens, 381 Tioga Avenue, Kingston. After completing her studies at Wilkes, shw plans to obtain a degree in Art Librarianship from either the University of Maryland or Simmons College in Boston, where she has been accepted for graduate study. Included in the exhibit will be acrylic and oil paintings, pen and ink and pastel drawings, woodcut and linoleum block prints, plastic and metal plate intaglio prints, several of which are inkless, and ceramics. An unusual feature of the exhibit witl be Miss Stevens' works in the area of · geometric. string construction. In this art form, the ultimate design is created solely through the use of thread and nails and their strategic placement on a background or frame. The result is a highly intricate, colorful work. Included in the exhibit will be both two-dimensional and three-dimensional string constructions. LINDA STEVENS T~e exhibit will -open Sunday, Apnl 28, from 12 to 5. It will then run fro_m Monday, April 29, through Fnday, May 3, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The public is invited. JOHN BARRETT (from page I) tmctgets (to see where your activities fee goes), SG club funding, pending proposals, a student opinion section, committee reports, a series of explanations of what a confusing organization such as Judicial Council is, and reports of current administrative decisions - can all be presented. Unfortunately, SG has not spent enough time in the area of academic improvements. This must become the primary target. Some of the more significant changes I will advocate is a SG sponsored statistical teacher evaluation to be published yearly to assist students in selecting a teacher; an all-night coed location for those students wishing to study in the "offbeat" night hours; limited final exemption on an individual teacher-class basis; restoration of the college used bookstore; and finally, an updated grading system. Adjusting the grading from the standard 4, 3, 2, 1, to a 4.0, 3.7, 3.3, 3.0, 2.7, 2.3, 2.0, etc. corresponding to the A, A-, B+, B, B-, ·etc., will allow a fairer representation of the students ability. This would also guard against the common "just missed this or that grade syndrome" which has been the cause of some student's academic failings. The goals I have for SG are high-which they must be for any leader. No campus SG can work alone; the councils must work with SG to solve the specialized problems such as dorm problems or the parking problem. The classes must develop into the major sponsors of social activity. Student Government can only then become the vital link with faculty and administration it should be. Only then can SG readjust its priorities primarily as academic and secondarily to see that the activity fee is utilized to the maximum benefit of the students. I ask your support in bringing about these changes. Wilkes Assista11,t Profess Beats Astro,·iauts Milea Neil Armstrong used one Apollo rocket to propel his spacecraft 238,000 miles and become the first man to walk on the Moon. A Wilkes College assistant professor of economics used four automobiles and took 16 years to travel the same distance on earth! At least that's the way Assistant Professor George Gera, who travels a round-trip of 80 miles via Hazleton each day to the Wilkes College campus, figures his mileage from his home in Eckley, Pa. Like the traditional postman, Gera has not allowed rain, snow, or dark of night - he occasionally had a weekly class or two during those 16 years - to deter him from faithful attendance at classes. Only once, as George recalled, could he remember missing a class. And that time it wasn't his fault. It was an extremely icy night and road travel was virtually impossible. Gera isn't trying to grab off any publicity from the Apollo space program or the astronauts. He stumbled upon the fact that he had something in common, at least mileage-wise, when he was discussing the number of times he has covered the roadways between the Wilkes campus and Eckley. His department chairman, Dr. Robert Werner, was taken up by the terms 16 years - roundtrip five times a week - 80 miles total. Between the two of them they worked it out during a break in classes and discovered that Gera had covered slightly more miles than the first man to land on the Moon. "There was the regular school year, sometimes coming back for evening classes, and then going right through the SUITIIller," Gera explained. "It all adds up on you." The quiet, almost-shy professor did admit that he welcomes the change of seasons to provide at least "a little change in the routine." All in all, he confessed, he really doesn't mind it and has no plans to change the daily routine. "I'm on my fourth car right now," he explained. "It's a 1973 and unfortunately, a real gas-burner." Gera doesn't mind the kidding he has taken from colleagues in the Commerce and Finance Department about having surpassed the mileage feat of an astronaut on a Moon trip. Kecently, he directed mailing of an informa ' chure, dealing with the o in business education al College.

At the same moment Andy Shaw, who had been going over some records from the Wyoming Valley Flood Recovery Task Force, looked up and spotted the wreckage of homes spread over the flatlands of the southwestern Ohio suburbs of Xenia. "My God, they really got it hard," he said in a soft voice. And then we stared - seeing, but finding it hard to believe even though we had all seen tragedy in a slightly different disguise in Wyoming Valley.

What had been fine, old buildings - many dating back to 140 years ago when the institution began as a simple academy for black children - were all showing varying degrees of ruin. Parts of educational structures had quarter and half sections gouged out by the force of th,e tornado. One part of the BY TOM MORAN campus that had been a spot of pride because of its cluster of century-old trees was leveled to the point that no evidence of what had been there existed, except for piles of branches and tree trunks. Three floors of a four-story administration building remained standing. It was almost as though fate had allowed one vital portion to remain as a necessary structure if those involved would dare to accept the challenge to rebuild. At the door we were greeted by Don Monks, director of development, and Mrs. Cassie Cook, director of the annual fund. We were ushered down a hallway that was dotted with signs pointing the way to various emergency needs, a makeshift canteen and into the office of President Rembert Stokes. Dean of Students Samuel Jackson, a former football star from Mississippi and a small, but powerful bundle of energy that was targeted toward getting Wilberforce back in action, was typical of all who were anxious to hear "anything you people can tell us that will show us the way." For four hours Andy Shaw, Tom Kelly and this writer contributed information and loaned them records that were accumulated during the recovery efforts of Wilkes College and Wyoming Valley. It is doubtful that any less formal meeting was ever held as all responded to the need for some.old, hard facts that could be quickly translated into action · that would help save the university. We had agreed to take a break in tne session at the university for the purpose of going into the heart of Xenia to confer with Robert Stewart city manager, and other city officfals who were set up on the first floor of the County office builping. That, too, had been battered atop by the tornado and the usual makeshift ·offices and canteens were set up. Here again the reception was one that was without formality and quickly moved to an exchange of information with everyone on a first name basis. The memories came back - the same early visit by President Nixon and the words of encouragement that included a directive to come back bigger and better and the promise that "we will see to it that you get everything you need." It sounded so familiar that it was a big like watching a rerun of an old horror movie that made you ponder over the possibilities of whether the ending this time would be any No Appoin_tment Necesst:!_J:.__ OUTLET .ARMY & NAVY 113 S.

Shaw's vast experience as executive director of the Flood Recovery Task Force and director of the Wilkes Institute of Regional Affairs, supplemented with more after-action reports and notes he had made on dealings with federal and state officials, were eagerly accepted by a still-shocked but functioning group of Xenia officials. Both at the university and at the city level it was Shaw's ability to describe the problems that he knew they were facing that quickly drew their attention to the importance and value of what the advisory team was bringing them. And Xenia has no shortage of problems. Two weeks after the tornado, they appeared to be only exploring or groping for the way out of their dilemma. From 40 to 60 per cent of their tax base had been wiped out. The public school system had lost so many of its buildings - botp of its senior high schools - that the children were rotating to classes ina few elementary buildings with three sessions daily, the last ending at 9 in the evening. . "Just what would you say is our first major concern," the city manager asked Shaw. "What sequence of moves would you recommend?" Shaw told him that with most of the homes destroyed in the heart of the town, the important thing was to convince people that they should not simply decide to never return. And in regard to this he told them to get their school system functioning as quickly as possible so that resident-victims would not have two problems to force them away - no homes·and no schools. Advice was given on the need to act quickly before a disaster somewhere else in the nation dimmed the public spotlight on th problems that need immediate attention if Xenia is to be saved. He reminded them of the need to push their state and federal legislators for immediate financial assistance. And he told them to lend their support to the bill introduced by Congressman Dan Flood and Senators Hugh Scott and_ Richard Schweiker for a National Catastrophic Disaster Bill. The nee~ ~or setting up a local group, similar to the Flood Recovery Task Force, was cited and Shaw provided the operational table for the formation of such a group a suggestion that was immediately seized upon by the city manager who expressed concern over independent groups which were springing up FULL SE'RVICE AUQIO :$TOR!l: STEREO SHACK RECORDS 8c TAPES l J\ BLVE SELECTION PIERCE INTOWN KINGSTON P. 1tANs Two Off Camous Bookstores ... • Bamee • Nobel Collep Outline Serln • FlaD Line of Sc:hool BQJlllllfl • Carda ud Gifb for All Oc:culoat DE-EM ER'S Student Accounts Available FLAIRS STRAIGHT .i.EG WIDE BELLI BAGGIES NAVY BELL& SEASON'S SPORT SH 96 South Main Street, Wilkes Barre, Pa.

In addition, the Wilkesmen will face Scranton on enemy turf. The Blue and Gold netmen escaped with a hard fought 5-4 victory earlier this year against the Royals at home. For the golfers of Coach Roland Schmidt, the early weeks of the season have not exactly been blessed with happiness. Although he has some tremendous talent, his duffers haven't quite put it together yet. All is not lost though. With the lack of an adequate pre-season practice in this area due to the weather, the Blue and Gold golfers have been known to start slowly, and peak in time for the MAC tournament which is being held this coming Monday in Willow Grove, Penna. Larry Gurnari and Mark Jarolen are proven veterans, although they are only sophomores. If Schmidt can get capable performances out of his duo, and find another adequate twosome to place in the upper half of the competition, the Colonels could surprise a lot of people.

Craig Austin, who played on the same high school team as Winter in Boonton, New Jersey, has not done all that bad, rifling in 14 goals thus far this season, and complementing them with six assists. His six goals in the Miami win tied him with teammate Gary Geischen for the single game high on the Wilkes team. Geischen, who has never been short of self-confidence, had his six goal game against the St. Mary's stickmen, to give him 16 goals and two assists on the campaign, not including yesterday's contest with Haverford. Along with Winter and Geishen, junior Bob Armstrong has given Coach Chuch Mattei one of the most ir,1i,1 .._:,61ve starting attacks in the entire Middle Atlantic Conference. Armstrong, a West Caldwell, New Jersey resident, has six goals and five assists to his credit, which is quite impressive considering the outstanding play of his other two front line teammates. Last season's leading scorer for the Blue and Gold was midfielder Vinnie Krill, but the scoring burden has been taken off of his shoulders this year and he has been able to play a better all-round game. Still, his four goals and two assists in the team's MAC contests is nothing to laugh at; he is tenth in the conference in scoring.

In past other presidents have supported a candidate; however, I e otherwise and have refused to offer my support. · letter is my last and I wish to discuss the futurt: of Student . ernment. The recently approved budget for 1974-75 is a good point. Student Government has approached the distribution of activities fee ($25) in a revolutionary way. S.G. has cut close to from their accounts and have distributed it to six · ations ( IDC, CC, the classes of 1975, 76, 77, 78). This has been to relieve S.G. of its social responsibilities, to a great extent, so y lie concerned with problems and issues which we have cted for too long. wthat we've decentralized those activities, here are the future rns of Student Government. Those pertaining to academic swill be the first order of business. The second being student ·ces, such as legal advise, and tax figuring assistance. the past S.G. has taken '"pot shots" at academic issues, and we failed, we gave up due to lack of concern. However, next if S.G. gives up, they may find themselves with no reasons to meetings, because they won't have social responsibilities to fall a to the passage of the new budget, S.G. is being forced, · gly, into a different direction. A direction which will demand of themselves, as well as the faculty and administration. ow I'd like to comment on the strength, if you wish the nsibility and the results of this year's Student Government. · . is the only "all college" student organized and directed · tive body on campus. Inherent with our responsibilities is the gth. Strength to impose limitations. Strength to dissolve and blishany student organization. And strength and wisdom, now, knowthat when we make mistakes to admit them. The mistake I r to is the life long assumption that social activities are the · e responsibility of S.G. is year's major achievements have been the opening of the ent Union Building and the formation of the Student Union d, which operated and maintains the student center. This mplishment completes the first stage of the buildings lopment.

The .Bicenntenial of the United States is but two year.s away with programs planned in most states to celebrate thfs momentous occasion. In the almost two-hundred years that the United States has been an independent entity in the international community, the land and people have changed immensly. We are no longer a primarily rural society with the majority of the population of English ancestry, bl.it one of the world's most industrialized nations with a multi-ethnical population of 200 million. The nation has gone from a colonial outpost of European powers to a super power second to none. All this and more was accomplished in just two-hundred years! Despite the progress made in so many areas, the nation is still faced by many problems. Pollution and poverty are only two of the problems which remain to be solved today. Corruption is to be found in government on all levels and that freedom and equality for which the founding fathers fought is still something which is denied to some segments of our society. Yes, we have made mistakes as well as wise decisions in our history as a nation, but we are just beginning. We have finished two-hundred years and we are beginning two-hundred more. We, the Classes of 1974, '75, '76 and '77, are the classes of the Bicenntenial Era. The future depends on how each and, every one of us works. In this Bicenntenial Era, ~et us rededicate ourselves to the revolutionary spirit which moved our fore-fathers and work to solve the problems facing us. Let us dedicate ourselves to making this nation even greater and providing the equality and freedom for which the colonists fought to every meo,ber of our society. The future is ours and with work and dedication and perserverance, we can make The United States better. . Beacon Editor-in-Chief . . . . . . .. . . . . . . Co-Managing Editors . . .. . .

Golfers Fi,iish 13th MAC Tour1ia1ne1it I,, The Wilkes College golf team failed in their bid for a MAC golf crown last weekend, when they finished 13th out of 23 teams at the conference confab at Hidden Springs Golf Club in Willow Grove, Pa. The Colonels totaled a 668 for 36 holes of action, which was well behind the impressive 615 victory sum of Moravian College. The Greyhounds edged out a three stroke win over little Muhlenberg College, who finished the competition with a 618 score. Finishing third was Scranton University, while Lebanon Valley placed third. Capturing individual medal honors at the two day event was Ed Karpovich, a duffer from Scranton. Karpovich tallied a 146 during the 36 holes of action. Best performance by a Wilk(sman was turned in by sophomore Larry Gurnari, who tallied a 154, which was four strokes short of any medal plaudits. Other Blue and Gold results were a 166 by another sophomore, Mark Jarolen, a 168 by freshman Al Mastalski, and a 180 by Bob Dwyer. It has been a fruitless campaign for the Wilkes golf team, but Coach Roland Schmidt fully realizes that he'll have almost his entire squad returning in tack next season, and can take great pleasure in glancing toward the future. �Page 8 THE BEACON BEACON SPORTS GRANDINETTI TOP ATHLETE * Female * * Aw~, * *r.d Goes * * To*Donna * * Doncses * * . .

Diamo·ndmen Still Hopeful crlli~:f~:!~::Pf::;a: ~1i!!r.: It's 'Do-Or-Die' For The Wilkes Stickmen The Wilkes College lacrosse team must register a win this Saturday afternoon against Western Maryland to remain undefeated and to hold top spot in the MAC competition. Last year the Wilkes stickmen were outscored by Western Maryland 16-7 which was only one of their two losses of the year. The other was against Kutztown State by a goal who the Colonels meet next week. This week the squad scored two crushing victories hammering Muhlenburg College 19-5 and Lebanon Valley 20-5 at Ralston Field. Against Muhlenburg, Bill Winter, Vinnie Krill and Gary Geishen did the damage in the Colonel's home debut. Winter showed the home crowd his amazing quickness and flashy stickhandling as he fired in four goals and added six assists. Midfielder Krill who has been performing consistantly each game, dodged many Muhlenburg defenders to get three goals and six assists. Creaseman Gary Geischen was very impressive, accounting for a big five goals. Also, big John Malatras fired in three goals along with Bob Armstrong, who Gad two goals and one assist. John Baron and Bob Kalaka added one goal apiece. Monday, the lacrosse team made it seven consecuti-ve wins by overpowering Lebanon Valley College 20-5. Although the Colonels scoring has been dominating this year, the spotlight should be directed toward the defense in the Lebanon Valley contest. Junior goalie Don Mock has been playing extremely well all year, holding his ground between the posts. Defenseman Jeff Grandinetti had the top defensive game as he and senior Rick Lorenzen kept Lebanon attackers in check throughout the game. Grandinetti, who added a goal became an offensive threat as he barreled up the field through Dutchman defenders. During this game, as well as all year long, the defensemen have been responsible for the Colonel success, clearing the ball well and starting fast breaks. Vince Krill again tur another all around effort three goals and two assists Captain Steve Coleman f · goals. Gary Geishen had 3g one assist, while Craig Dea Jeff Grandenetti added each.

The poem, on the one hand, contains a strong sense of man as a fall~n creature, as one who wears his accomplishments and visions like armor to protect his feeble naked self. In order to break through this shield the speaker assumes the role of both predator and lover. The metaphor of the fishing hook which opens the poem establishes the speaker's aim to treat man as prey, and - in doing so to render him helpless so that he might reveal himself. But in the third stanza a shift begins to occur. From there he pursues the possibility of liberating man through an examination of the basic paradoxes which make up . the human condition. The speaker concludes that man is both chained to his history and his visions and confronted by a future of " nowhere's farthest shore. " Thus, he sees the need for man to assume the responsibility for his own agony and joy and to celebrate himself in terms by William Mistichelli, which provide the possibility of the place of Jesus's crucifixion, is heroic stature. personified.

There ~re several other poem s worthy of note in this year's selection. Karen Toslosky's untitled poem contains some striking lines. Her portrait of someone eating sweets in his sorrow pinpoints the major emphasis of the poem which is on the human hunger for love which lingers but is never satisfied. Judi Keats' poem demonstrates a fresh and delicate sense of landscape. Bob Klein's " Icicle" presents a sustained picture of a frozen world in which the speaker's tears represent the only sign of . warmth. And Lauren O'Hara's characterization of the madness of big city dwellers centers around her poignant observation about their hellish love of discord. �May Page 2 THE BEACON Editorially Speaking -·· Dear Baby, You seem to be drumming up publicity more for women's lib than calling attention to the "lowest paid workers" who are being let go.

The year was marred by the death of the college's first President, Dr. Eugene S. Farley. An institution in himself, Farley will be sorely missed by the many people he touched during his lifetime. Little or nothing was done about the parking problem which has constantly plagued commuting ~tudents. Many plans and procedures were suggested by the administration and student governing bodies; however, very little effective relief has come out of the plans. Parking remains as one of the major problems on campus. A major shakeup in reg!stration procedures eased this task, considerably. At one time a three to four hour µroject, registration time by a student for the upcoming semester, has been cut in half. It was a banner year for nearly all of the college's athletic teams. Leading the way. for the athletic bandwagon were Coach John Reese's wrestlers who walked away with the college's first national title, a Division 111 wrestling championship. Certainly not far behind the grapplers were Coach Rodger Bearde's basketball team. Playing a sticky brand of defense, the Colonel cagers rolled to a 20-win season and a berth in the ECAC post season classic.

Arthur Hoover, advisor to Commuter Council, and Mike Stambaugh, president of Commuter Council, met with the Parking Authority of Wilkes-Barre to discuss the parking rates for students at Park-and-Lock South. The members of the Parking Authority agreed to a decrease in the monthly parking rate for students at Wilkes College from $15 a month to $10 a month. This decrease is for the monthly rate, whereby a sticker is affixed to the car, allowing a person to park any time in Park-and-Lock during the time periud of the sticker. There was one stipulation, however. To make the rate effective and applicable to students at Wilkes, at least 150 students are needed to qualify Wilkes College for this special rate. Consequently, Commuter Council needs the support of the student body at Wilkes to push this decrease through. If students are interested, day or dorm students, please fill out the form below and return it to your Commuter Council representative, the Commuter Council office in Weckesser, or drop it in the Commuter Council mailbox in the Bookstore. The student support in this matter is vital as ameans to alleviate the parking situation at Wilkes. Deadline for submitting this form is the last day of classes, Friday, May 10. If the support of the students is effective, this rate will go into effect in September of this year.

Although this letter is addressed to the three presidents of the major campus organizations, it applies equally and is directed to t>very class and club officer, every committee chairman, and every student who worked on behalf of his College and his fellow students to make college a more meaningful experience. Student leadership is a difficult responsibility, unique compared to others we experience in life. Rarely must we deal with decisions affecting our peers_with whom we live, work, and play. The pressure is to do the expedient rather than what may be more responsible in the perspective of students who will follow you and the institution that must continue to serve them and future generations. I need not list your accomplishments or the lasting impact they will have on this campus. Many of them are obvious, some more subtle. However, I know personally from my relationship with all of you how you have sometimes suffered and yet never wavered in the fulfillment of the responsibilities that were yours. I salute you and all of the student leadership of the clubs, organizations, and publications who have labored - each in your own way - to make Wilkes College a more fulfilling experience. I will treasure my friendship with you and join with all members of the faculty and administration in wishing you continued success in your future life. I am sure the experience of leadership you· enjoyed as students will have a lasting impact on the contributions you will make in the larger communities in which you will live and work. Our year at Wilkes, now drawing to a close, has seen many administrative challenges met as well. Our Learning Center construction program, the continuing Flood Recovery program, and the program to meet the latest Department of Labor and Industry standards have contributed to fiscal problems of capital financing Wlique to any institution of higher education. As we confront these problems however, it is still secondary to the effort that has gone into curriculum evaluation by the faculty and the continuing emphasis on the quality of the living and learning environment. Wherever responsibility is given or shared, success and failure will ensue in varying degrees. Our work with you as student leaders and with all students in general, as we share concerns and objectives has been mutually productive and will, I hope, be characteristic of your successors. Again may I extend my sincere thanks and appreciation for your dedication to your College and your understanding and patience at times when it was most needed. . . Su~cere~yi Francis J. Mic~ehm President This year was marked with the tragic death of a Wilke's first President, Eugene S. Farley, who put forth a tremendous effort at Wilkes College and in Wyoming Valley. He will be remembered as a great leader and educator. , To sit and attempt to evaluate a year of the best and a year worst is difficult. The task is compounded when one faces the end of a four year life time. I am now to comment on the past, the present and the future of an organization that I have worked with for the last four years and guided, hopefu).ly well over the ups and dowr,s of the past ten months. A government which stands alone does not stand. Inter Dormitory Council is not composed of 30 odd individuals, but rather the wants and needs of some 650 unified students. Have we served our purpose to our fellow students, to our college, to ourselves? The answer is a qualified no! But in the same respect, we are forced to ask ourselves, are we only here to improve social conditions? Are we the one's who must make the unbearable weekends bearable? Again the answer is no. We are forced to be the governing body that is responsive to our fellow students needs. We have succeed,d in improving the social aspects of Wilkes, but in the same· breath we have failed ourselves and our friends in improving the conditions under which we learn and live. Attempts at final immunity have failed, attempts at grading reforms have been lost in committees, attempts at teacher evaluation to benefit the student and the faculty member have been side tracked. I speak now not only . as the past president of a major student organization, but as a person. A student who has rights and feelings. A student who we have failed. During the course of the past year, we have worked internally. We started to set up an office that functions; office hours, files, executive council meetings, Council of Dormitory Presidents meetings and active participation with our advisors. But still we must face reality. The reality that part of our duty has not been fulfilled. The pattern for the future is always simple and always easily outlined. John Ruskin wrote "When we build, let us think that we build for ever." So now I ask that you, you the future, think and build for ever. Don't become irresponsive of your fellow students, don't back down from a position, don't yield under adversity, don't say that you can't change the system. You are responsible for knowing what is going on, you are responsible for transfering that knowledge to others, you are responsible for change. · As I leave, I end with one thought; Government and cooperation are in all things laws of life; :he government that governs least does not govern. It exists. Thar.k you and good luck. Prior to this presidential position I 'l'o summarize th2 events was your average run of the mill happenings around campus 11 student organizer.

That was Fred Murty's response after reporting that he finished among the top 12 in the 176-pound class at the National AAU Judo Championships conducted April 24 to 28 at Phoenix, Ariz. There was a four-way tie for sixth place, according to Murty, a Scranton resident who represented the Wilkes College Judo Club in th~ event. Fred recorded two full-point wins and two losses. There were 80 participants in the division and Fred was the only Brown Belt to place in the top 30. He placed ahead of about 60 Black Belts, which is a higher rank in Judo competition. The division champion was Irwin Cohen of Chicago, Ill., who also emerged as grand champion of the tournament and received the best technique award. "Cohen knocked me out of the competition in my third round by defeating me in the last 20 seconds of the contest," said Murty. "It says a lot for a Brown Belt to go 4:40 with Irwin Cohen. He was a 1972 Olympian and he was first in the nation three times and grand champion once. He's a fourth degree Black Belt, which is five , . r anks hi~her than I." Murty, son of Mr. and Mrs. William McCann, 1347 Penn Ave., already is eyeing the 1975 championships to be held at Fresno1 Calif. He plans to work during the summer with Dick Walters, a Pan-American Gold Medalist from Ocean City, N.J. Fred said all the training really helped in this year's championships, along with the prayers from a lot of his friends. The sophomore was extremely grateful to the Student Government, who ctided him tremendously in making the trip to the AAU tournament. With performances like these, it would be our guess that SG will be more than happy to aid him again next year, as he continues his never-ending quest to be the best in an enormously difficult sport. .-----------------------------, L---------------------------- Finest Season In Their History Nears Finish By Net Squad lt"s been quite a year for the Hlue and l~old netmen. They've very inconspicuously built themselves into probably the most productive tennis team in Wilkes College's history, winning six matches compared to only a single defeat at last count, with a chance for two more victories before they close out their campaign on Saturday. Number one singles player Dave Meckbach has not had as good a year as many expected, but senior John Derbin and super frosh Judd Davis have picked up the slack performing out of the two and three singles positions, &nd the results speak for themselves. Gone unheralded on the net squad has been the play of doubles unit l.iary Paich and Hob Dombrowsb. The duo have not lost a match the entire season, and it was their victories that iced both of the big wins over Scranton University earlier in the campaign.

Before the season had begun, expectations ran high. With two talented sophomores in Mark ,Jarolen and Larry Gurnari, and an outstanding· freshman duffer in Al Mastalski, Coach Holand Schmidt felt he had the nucleus for a possible MAC title contender.

Holding him on is Jack Keller. The Colonels split two games with the Indians, and did the same the following week against Scranton to scratch their chances of copping the MAC title this year. When the Wilkes diamondmen opposed Delaware Valley early in the season, people· said Jhat the victor would be the favorite to head the Middle Atlantic Conference race when the '74 campaign came to a close. Well, the Colonels won handily. Then they said the winner of the late April meeting between the Blue and Gold and Upsala College would be the best bet to ·cop league honors. The Vikings prevailed in that contest 4-3, and all of a sudden, the fight for the flag was a free for all. Along the way, Philadelphia Textile picked up some important victories and was rated as the favorite in the season's waning days. But alas! Textile dropped a 14-12 shoot 'em up to the Wilkesmen last Saturday, and no one, but no one was really the MAC champ. Could it be Upsala, the scrappy squad from East Orange, New Jersey, who at last count had a 4-3-1 --record? (Don't ask us-how they got a tie). Or would the new MAC champ be Philadelphia Textile who was 7-3 if you didn't include their losses to Northern Division teams?

In the second round of singles, Miss Snee went down to defeat to Sue Grayson of Rutgers, 1-6 and 6-7; and Miss Kishbaugh lost to Patti Seale of the University of Pennsylvania the score being 3-6 in both contests.

We Americans have prided ourselves over the fact that all men are equal before the law in our great nation. We have taken this fact for granted for many years. Some people began to question this in the late 1960's. Young Americans and thinking people elsewh-ere in the world pointed to the injustices of our judicial system as proof that this was not true.

Even in resignation, Mr. Nixon did not really admit to any guilt. He simply resigRed on the - basis that his power had been eroded and he was no longer able to govern effectively. President Ford's granting of immunity is a good and merciful act, but it has come too soon. Perhaps if Mr . Nixon accepted some of the guilt instead of laying it at others' feet, mercy would be acceptable, but Mr. Nixon was a believer in law and order. He believed that the criminal should be prosecuted. To grant him full immunity and pardon now, while others under him pay the price, is only to show that all men are not equa I before the law; some men are more equal. What we as Americans must decide is whether or not all men should be equal. The nation was founded on this idea and to abandon it now would be an admission that our system does not work. Justice must be tempered with mercy, but only after justice has been served . Beaeon P ho toq r ap h c r . .

In the past. both the local colleges had utilized the park for IM purposes, and were hard put to come up with a solution, now that the facility had been closed. As school started a week ago, even the most optimistic students had given up hope to taking to the grid iron in '74. But "old reliable", Joe Skvarla, the director of the intramural program here at Wilkes wouldn't say die. He was finally able to obtain use of Ralston Field, and intramural football will go as scheduled. There will be a few changes in store however. Most noteworthy of the alterations is the abandonment of two-hand touch football and a changeover to flag. Flag football involves each player wearing a belt with two thin flags attached to the sides. Instead of tagging the ball carrier with both hands, as had been the method in the past, the defender must now remove one of the flags attached to his belt. With the games being shifted to Ralston Field, the number of contests will be held down to one per day, with the starting time scheduled for 4 P.M. The season will begin on Monday, September 23, and conclude right before Thanksgiving br~k. All team rosters are to be handed in by Wednesday, September 18. Skvarla also announced that anyone interested in officiating some of the grid contests this season, should contact him immediately, at the gymnasium or at his office in Weckesser Annex. Fall Practice For Diamondmen Head baseball coach Gene Domzalski has announced that he will hold fall evaluation practice beginning September 16, at 3:30 P.M. in the gymnasium. Candidates for the team will meet at the gym, but practices will be held at the new Coal Street recreational complex. Domzalski began fall practice sessions last year and was very pleased with the results. It gives him a opportunity to speculate on the new players, as well as getting an added glance at his seasoned veterans. While on the subject of baseball, Colonel pitching sensation Jimmy Stahle, who was also a center-linebacker for Coach Rollie Schmidt's gridders, has decided to pre-empt his football career in favor of baseball. The fireballing lefthander has a great pitching career ahead of him, and would prefer to concentrate entirely on one sport, rather than dividing his time between two. With pitching coach Bob Duliba helping him develop a great breaking ball, and his control showing rapid improvement, Jimmy is going to be heard from for quite some time to come. Ten Years Of Waiting !<'or the past ten years, we've been carrying on a love affair with a loser. She wasn't always a loser however. When we first met her, there wasn't a thing that could compare to her . She had it all, and people were proud to know her. But age and bad luck caught up with her and she went from riches to rags. The people that had once flocked to her doorstep, were now pursuing their interests elsewhere. But we di~ not abandon her. We suffered when she suffered, and we smiled when she showed signs of rejuvination. For ten years, we stayed by her side, and waited patiently. In case you haven 't already guessed, that loser was the New York Yankees, and she has finally risen out of the depths of defeat and are in the midst of an exciting pennant .race in the American League East. Their rise to the top may be only momentary or it may be the start of , a new era, but for those of us who have had nothing to brag about when · others were mouthing off about their "miracle Mets," or their "fabulous Fightin' Phils", it is characteristic of a heaven on earth. The only thing that irritates us, are all of the people who are suddenly claiming they have been lifelong Yankee fans. It's true that everybody loves a winner , but where were these "devoted" fans the past decade.

Schmidt will be praying that his team comes out of the battle injury free, and we will release the casualty report next week ..... the Wilkes College wrestling team will not move up to Division I this year, but will more than likely be wrestling in the Easterns. In essence, this means that if any Colonels place one, two or three in the Eastern Tourney, they will not qualify for the University Division confab.

How hard the girls work will determine this!" These are a few of the pre-season comments of Colonelettes field hockey mentor, Mrs. Gay Meyers. After only a few practices, the team, returning from a "lazy" sumn'ier, seems to be shaping up quite well and should soon be back into the swing of things. Returning after only one year's experience, Diane Jones, Nancy Roberts and Kim Flis, all letterwinners, will be counted on to lead the defense. Early practice indicates that several people will be pushing for starting defensive positions. They are Debbie Titus, Sue Ann Knight, Jean Johnson and Sue Roman. The offensive line needs some aggressive punch and hopefully, returning sophomore Penny Bianconi and junior Barb Long, playing for the first time, can help fill the scoring gap left by the graduation of last year's captain, Donna Doncses. Members of the 1974 Wilkes field hockey team are: Seniors, Ellen Schwartz, Angela Centrella and Marivita Saleski, all letterwinners; juniors, Nancy Roberts, Diane Jones, Susan Funke, Debbie Titus, letterwinners; Charmaine Broad and Barb Long, first year; Sophomores, Penny Bianconi, Kim Flis, both letterwinners; Nancy Mathers and Sue Ann Knight, first year. Other new players include Coreen Santoro, a transfer student from College Misericordia; Jean Johnson, who played for Lake-Lehman; Nancy Kuren, a former hockey player from Vestal, New York; Karen Olney, an experienced player from Masuk High School, Monroe, Connecticut; Sue Serio, Margaret Peleko, a former member of Coughlin's hockey team; and Virginia Kloer, who played for Meyers. Debbie Davis, also from Meyers, incun·ed a knee injury during the first week of practice but hopes to be back soon. ' Graduated player, Gayle Kimback who returned to Wilkes this sem~ster for student teaching, is ineligible to play, but is volunteering her time and experience in aiding with the team. The Colonelettes will open their 1974 season on Saturday, September 21, with a contest against the Wyoming Valley Club.

Unlike last season, when t)le Blue and Gold seemed to win games on defense alone, '73 is a whole new ball game. If they expect to win their first conference crown in five years, and perhaps a shot at the NCAA Division III championship, they'll need more than just defense alone, and more than just an explosive offense. They will need a complete team effort from everyone who '74 CO-CAPTAINS Flankerback Bill Horan and Linebacker Terry Blaum takes the field for Wilkes in '74; from have bee;; named co-captains of this year's grid squad.

The administration does not sit in Weckesser Hall all day and drink coffee, as some people would believe. In the Commuter Council dealings with the Parking Authority and the Luzerne County Transportation Authority, Mr. Art Hoover has played a very important part in acquiring student rates at Park-andLock South and on the L. C. T.A. bus lines. I . would like to extend my ·deep appreciation for all the time and energy he devoted to the pursual of these rates . I would also like to especially thank Mi II ie Gittens, manager of the bookstore and Mrs. Burke who have agreed to handle the sale of the bus tokens with no thought of personal reimbursement. Also to be commended are Mr. Thomas Moran and the Beacon, who helped us so much in getting pub I icity out on these rates, Mr. Andrew Shaw, who provided us '.Nith essential information on the Parking Authority, and last but certainly not least Dr. Michelini, who acted as a vital link between the L. C. T . A. and Commuter Council, and who lent his support on the students' behalf. Also, Dean Capin should be noted for taking the time to explain to the student lead~rs the financial plight of the college and reasons for some termination notices sent to the faculty. Dean Capin has done this in order that the student leaders may exp la in to the student body the position of the college on these affairs. For this, I think he is to be commended. If 't here are others I have forgptten to note, it is because space is short and my memory not too long. However, after reading this, I hope the students at Wilkes will , take a more lenient stance in their opinion of the administration. Sincerely yours, Mike Stambaugh C. C. President The Wilkes College Concert and Lecture Series opens its 1974-75 season tonight at 8 p.m. with an "Evening of Blues and Jazz with Count Basie and His Orchestra." The famed musician-bandleader and his orchestra will appear in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts . . William "Count" Basie, a bandleader for 25 years, was born in Red Bank, New Jersey, in 1904. He played the piano since childhood, studying first with his mother. After working arow1d New York with Sonny Greer and June Clark, he went to work with a theater unit and became involved in silent movies. He joined Walter Page's Blue Devils and later, Benny Moten, whose band he took over when Moten died in 1935. Except for the period 1950-51 when Basie led a swinging sextet, he has led a big band continuously for two and a half decades. He has gained a global reputation for his undying allegiance to the beat. The Basie Band has won its share of honors. " Esquire" Silver Award, "Downbeat" Readers' Poll, "MetroBY DONNA M.

The Beacon would also like to commend those others who helped make these things possibl~the administration at Wilkes and the many others involved. Hopefully their work will serve as an example for ·more work by the student organizations at Wilkes College. Social Life One of the biggest comp la in.ts heard on the Wilkes campus the past few- years was that there was nothing to do. Social life was dead according to many students. That began to change last year . The 1973-74 academic year saw social life at Wilkes beginning to blossom . The Poconq Downs parties were just one aspect of this change . This year is starting off with a bang. The Freshman Orientation committee staged a very successful dance, during the orientation activities. The dance was well attended by both . Freshmen and upperclassmen and elicited a . good response. This has been followed by a campus picnic and this weekend by two more events; a film festival and a hayride. Add to these the work of the Concert and Lecture Series committee and one has quite a selection of activities. If the activities now being held and · those planned for the immediate future are an example of what is to come throughout this year, there shou ld be few complaints . The only people who will compl a in are those wh o don't attend them and if the y don't bother to take advantage of wha t is offered, then they should not comp lai n at a ll. ,- - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - -- -- - -----7 Beaeon E d itor i n Chief Co-M ~naging Editors A nd y Pet yak . .. . . ....

Dr. Eugene L. Hammer noted that this diversity, which educates the student in culture oriented fields in addition to · ·Western Europe and American History, is not only occurring throughout the state, but nationwide as well. Some historians' are expressing disdain over this type of program because they feel a student in History should be versed in as much history curriculum as possible. On the other hand educators counter by saying that History majors involved with public school teaching have no real use for a heavy concentration in History and for employment opportunities are better qualified with these wider range of courses. Nevertheless, this latter view has gained nationwide attention and it presently prevails at Wilkes. Both Dr. Hammer and Dr. Leach are very much concerned with this ·certification of Wilkes students and to date are ironing out the degree and certification difficulties in each student's individual case. No particular person .or group can be considered the cause of this problem and so far most students affected have consulted with Dr. Hammer, who understands the premature excitement with students involved, and will work in every possible way to clarify the procedures in order to ensure proper teaching certification in social studies. · ~~~~og~~~~~~s,an!h~o~ =::::~::::::.............:.:.:.:.::.:.:.:.;.;.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.;.;;.:.:~3> -•:···•.difflBJ.•zs.;.3,r :;::••fou:;:: : : show photographs from the lnternational Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House.

Young men and women of high school and college age turn to you, seeking a mentor and guide. A teacher forms attitudes and shapes lives. What he or she says in the classroom is often remembered 10, 20, 45 years later.

'. The Feminine Viewpoint Helps in B usiness World The basic suspicion of women executives is still as deeply rooted as racial prejudice.

The administration met with each individual department chairman, then the administration made the decisions about certain areas in the curriculum. Underpopulated sections in many subject areas were either consolidated or cancelled. The courses themselves were not revised. The political science program was revamped, but as yet no political science teachers were hired. Out of those 30 inter-tenure teachers, eight of them were given tenure.

And this is happening a t a time when psychological theorists and schools of education are fervently preaching the docti ine that students learn best only when they feel that teachers really care for them a nd are personally concerned for them. The tea c hers ' strike in San Francisco started as part of a municipal wor ker s strike that affected all city employees. Local 261 of the laborers union, to whi ch a ttenda nts of the San Francisco Zoo belong, did not go on strike, but many members did not wish to cross the picket lines of striking municipal workers.

Brian Boston, editor-in-chief, welcomed the group and introduced fac ulty advisor Dr. Robert Heaman, assistant editor Jim Space and art editor Terri Williams to the new members. The Manuscript is a literary publication presented to Wilkes students in the spring of every year. It contains poetry, prose and art work created by students of Wilkes and not restricted by Manuscript membership. Policies of the organization were explained in full, along with an orientation to the club's series of classical films shown throughout the school year. The next upcoming film is Vittorio De Sica's " The Bicycle Thief" scheduled Tuesday, September 24th. Manuscript submissions can be given to any club member or put in the Manuscript submission box on the first floor of Be~ford Hall. It wili then be discussed and voted on while the author remains anonymous. In addition, several members agreed to lend their cooperation in creating new shows for the Manuscript Society's radio program entitled " Manuscript Presents." It features selected poetry, prose or essays and is heard Sundays at 11 a.m. on Wilkes College radio WCI-I. Anyone interested in doing a program is asked to contact one of the editors for information and STUDENT TEACHERS-Through the ages music and art have come to be universally known and have lent assistance. themselves to be versatile in nature. Workshop Instituted By Howes And Trost BY CHUCK·RIECHERS A workshop session sponsored by the Interdormitory Council and clirected by IDC President Bob Howes produced a slate of numerous suggestions and ideas for possible student activities dw·ing the upcoming semesters. Ideas totaled about ninety for a weekend winter carnival when about thirty participants concerned themselves solely with organizing a carnival. IDC representatives and officers were aided in their endeavor by a small contingent of officers and representatives from Commuter Council and Student Government. The encounter-like session was held on the McClintock lawn Sunday afternoon and lasted about three and one half hours. The session began with a self-awareness excercise to acquaint participants with themselves. Each participant for the next exercise chose someone they didn't know from the group and studied each other silently. Partners were then described in one word with reasons given for the descriptions. Participants then gathered into groups of four, later eight to ten , people. The task of reviewing a series of statements and arriving at , a group consensus was assigned. If no consensus of opinion was reached statements were reworded so that all could agree. Assigned observers watched how each group performed and discussed with each group what they learned about the group's structure and operational methods. A brainstorming session followed. Everyone attempted to generate as many ideas as possible on how to ' ~~~~~:es ~~~J~k t~:re an~a7~~ number compared with those obtained from the other groups. The same technique was applied to actual practical problems of what activities would be a part of a weekend carnival. Ideas were generated. The result was more productive than last semester. JDC As a result of this, more and more college students are involving themselves in these fields and Wilkes College is no different with 23 students who will do their student teaching in those related fields. Among the students who will pursue their certification in the field of music are, from left to right, first row : Judith Zola, Kingston; Mary Leaser, Ashley; Teresa Cavallini, Mocanaqua; and Rita Celusniak, Dupont. Second row: Joanne Bonanne, New Brunswick, N.J.; Lucinda Walter, Factoryville; Debra Schonfeld, Wilkes-Barre; Mary Lou Miller, Sidney, N.Y. Third row: William Gasbarro, chairman of the Music Department; Bruce Frederick, Luzerne; Joel Jones, Wilkes-Barre; Theodaore Dennis, Wilkes-Barre; and Harold Hoover, Orange. had then attempted to sponsor a winter carnival and failed. Finally behavior styles such as shyness and outspokenness were discussed and participants explained why they felt they possessed such traits. Many of the participants reacted favorably and felt the activities were worthwhile when asked for their opinion. One felt the final activity should not have been included since it in his opinion did not enhance the program. One noted that a chance existed for IDC, SG and CC cooperation and recommended that these three organizations should work together. The format of the workshop was designed by IDC President Bob Howes and IDC Vice-President Tom Trost. Inspirations for sponsoring the activity resulted from their recent attendance at nationwide residence hall council conference in Illinois. Eleven students will s·tudent teach in the art field this fall from Wilkes College. Those students participating are, left to right, first row: Paula Pinter, Allentown; Sharon Johnson, Wilkes-Barre; Carol J. Reich, Newburgh, N.Y.; Elaine Godlewicz, Wyoming; and Joan Bonfanti, West Pittston. Second row: Tosca Villano, West Pittston; Deborah Williams, Clinton, N.J.; Sharon Rodgers, Wilkes-Barre; and Mary Claire Kozlowich, Wilkes-Barre. Thiul row: Edwin L.

Not such is the case for two Wilkes College professors and two students who are putting the final touches on a unique piece of electronic equipment which will be used to measure the intensity of the light reflection from highway safety and direction signs. The project, which has taken nearly two years to complete, is being funded through a contract awarded by the Federal and the Pennsylvania Departments of Transportation. · "There never has been a system of measuring the light reflection of signs before... explained Dr. James Toole, who is chairman of the Wilkes College Engineering Department and coordinator of the highway study. "When the apparatus is put into use, the Department of Transportation will be able to assess the . visibility of signs as seen by the driver," Toole remarked. "We also will be able to decide the best colors, placement, and determine when the signs should be replaced.''

The Colonels will inaugurate their dual campaign tomorrow afternoon, meet;ng Sccanton Unive,-sity at Nay Princeton University is an institution saturated in tradition. It is an Amer~can landmark, and yet its beautiful ivory-covered walls seem to be saying, "I wish to be left alone." The campus is an educational utopia. Its progress in the field of education and research can be matched by very few. Yet, Princeton is more than a great learning center for intellectuals. It is symbolic of our country; always growing, but never letting go of its hold on the past. The University's beautiful Palmer Stadium is also saturated with tradition. A little over one hundred years ago, Princeton took on a spirited Rutgers University squad in what was the first official college football game. The game has grown to immense proportions sinc-e that fall afternoon, but its historic memory lingers on within the stadium's four walls. The Colonels became a part of the Princeton tradition last week and played as well as any of their predecessors to the Palmer turf. The Tiger's head coach summed up Wilkes' performance in their scrimmage best of all, when he said "they hit as hard as any team in the Ivy League." And hit they did, as coach Rollie Schmidt looked on with a smile creasing his usually serious features. In last week's column, we said that we would list the casualties in our next edition, and we're happy to say the list is blank. With the exception of a little pain in tackle John Morreale's ann, there were no physical mishaps whatsoever. The squad as a whole played hard and held their own, but there were some Blue and Gold gridders who stood out and deserve a nod. A few weeks ago, coach Schmidt told us about freshmen linebackers Tony Couto and Bill Sobczak, but seeing is believing. Couto, a 6'0, 185 pounder from Allentown, was all over the field and held his ground. Sobszak, who teamed with Couto at Wyoming Seminary was equally as impressive. At least one of them should be starting against Post on Saturday, and possibly even both. With the entire offensive forward wall opening the holes, Mickey "the Breeze" Calabrese fought for some big gainers against the Tigers. John Baron, the Breeze's backfield partner, played well also. Baron performed with seven stitches in his chin, which he had inserted Friday, after getting hit in practice. Tony Schwa b and Freddy Marianacci combined to make the most exciting play of the scrimmage. Schwab intercepted an enemy aerial near the Tiger goaline and headed upfield. He cut back against the grain twice, and evaded tacklers when it had seemed that he was trapped. After crossing the Princeton thirty-yard line, be lateraled to a trailing Marianacci, who picked up 15 more yards before being nailed. The defensive line, which is supposedly the Colonel's trouble spot, was also impressive last weekend. Lou Maczuga drew praises from'Princeton onlookers as did Donny Kulick. Schmidt used several players at the two defensive tackle slots, and all did well. Tom Bradshaw held his own against the bigger Princeton players, but the real surprise was the job Tommy Butler did, while he was in there. Listed as·a linebacker, Butler made a number of tackles up front. as Schmidt continues to experiment. Around 1be Hom Jimmy "the Jet" Cefalo, who graduated from Pittston Area High School last year got an opportunity to perform on national television last weekend, when Penn State battled the Sta¢ord Indians.

Two new coaches have been named to positions in the Wilkes College athletic program recently.

Zardecki replaces Joe O'Donnell, who has accept_ed the head coaching position at Dallas High School. The other new mentor will be Rick Marchant who will replace Joe Shaugnessy as swimming coach. Marchant was an outstanding swimmer for the Colonels a few years ago, and is being counted on to upgrade the aquatics program at the college ....

S PORT WILKES ATHLETICS �sP . / Post Invades The ·Colonel Domain ·- ************· **** No Lambert Bowl For Saturday's Loser Pioneers Lose Star QB; Injuries Sideline P owers BY PAUL DOMOWITCH There has been a lot said about this year's Colonel grid team the past few weeks; some good and some bad. But come Saturday afternoon, the truth will surface to the top, when the Blue and Gold tangle with the C.W. Post Pioneers in what could be a battle for the 1974 rights to the Lambert Bowl. For the few unknowing, the Lambert Bowl is emblematic of Division III supremacy in the Easteqi United States. The Colonels last won the coveted award in 1968, while Post turned the trick a year ago, as they overcame Juniata College for top honors in the final week of balloting. On paper, the New York squad has the.edge over the Wilkesmen. Forty lettermen return from last season's Powers Injured 10-1 squad, along with several GARY FLUR promising freshmen . In last week's opener against powerful Western Kentucky however, Pioneer quarterback Eddie Powers, who was third in the small-college ranks in passing last season, tore ligaments in his knee and is out for the entire season. Further nightmares continued to plague coach Dom Anile's team last v week, when Power's understudy Bob Mangione suffered three cracked ribs seconds after he entered the game. With Powers, the Pioneers are a football juggernaut. Without him, they are just a good football team. If they fall behind early, they won't have Power's arm to rely on and that definitely will be a severedisadvantage to a team whose offense is considered an aerial circus. Whoever mans the signal calling position for the Pioneers Saturday, VICTORY DOESN'T COME EASY- If you expect to be a winner, you've got to work at it, and freshman will at least have a host of talent defensive end Chris O'Brien finds that out early. In the photo above, Chris is being watched by assista1,t coach Ed surrounding him in the huddle. Lukas as he goes through the lateral motion drill. Anile has assembled a forward wall which averages 240 pounds a Also hurting is the defensive held his own. He will probably team man, and is as quick as any the backfield, which lost a pair of with Tom Bradshaw in the middle of Colonels will see this season.

Stellios Patsiokas: Silel1t.Soccer Thunder BY BOB DAVIS Not many students at Wilkes have the distinction of hailing from a foreign country. But there's a fellow on our soccer team who also has the distinction of being one of the best in his field. His name is Stellios Patsiokas, who comes to Wilkes from Macedonia, Greece, and has also had the honor bestowed upon him of being named an All-Middle Atlantic Conference soccer player. Stellios is a senior Electrical Engineering major. He plans to attend graduate school in Buffalo, New York upon graduation from Wilkes.

Of course, Stellios had some minor problems to overcome upon his arrival here, such as learning the English language. He couldn't speak a word of English. He said it took him at least six months to get fully acclimated, but found people very cooperative. w~~ r-r~i:'.~-~~-h~clule. t ;l;~;l;l;l;l;l;l;l;~l l~l~l~:~ ·w::: 7 J ~:·fi:).l_l·l~l~l~llll~l~llll· =_·_:__._·_ ..::: 1 An organizational lacrosse meetAli Candidates for the wresing will be held tonight (Sept. 19) at tling team are requested to 7:00 p.m. in room 306 of Stark Hall. meet in the Gymnasium this Arrangements will be made for morning, AT 11 a.m. Schedpre-season conditioning and pracules and the upcoming season : tice sessions on Tuesday and will be discussed at that time.t Thursday afternoons.

But the fact is that the faculty's auto necessities are greater and why shouldn't they be. So now the college has to resort to parking gates to keep out unwanted cars. Parking gates are unattractive and expensive mechanical devices that have a downward action similar to the medieval guillotine effect which might give a motorist an uneasy feeling as he approaches and proceeds through the gates.

First, find out what magazines publish poetry. You'd be surprised how much postage many writers waste sending poems to publications which don't publish them. You'll find an annual list of poetry markets in the magazine "Writer's Yearbook." For information -send to: Writer's Yearbook, 22 East 12th Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45210. You can also flip through your library's copy of "Literary Market Place," which tells what book and magazine publishers accept fiction, poetry, etc. When you've selected a magazine, send the editor a short, neatly-typed letter with your poems stating that you are submitting them for possible publication. Include a . stamped return envelope. With smaller magazines - such as religious, trade and regional ones (as opposed to large, national interest magazines such as " Ladies Home Journal" and " Saturday Review") your unsolicited poems have a better chance. To crack the more famous magazines, you usually need a reputation as a poet; unsolicited poems generally go into what is discouragingly called "the = slush pile," read by a junior assistant. H you set your sights a smidgen lower, you'll .probably get more sympathetic attention. ' If you need to pay the rent, don't bank on doing it by selling your poetry. Some top magazines pay only a token amount, maybe $10 for a poem. �Page 1 Student Lead67-SN Give VieWS~,, . ,.l.

Wilkes holds a 9-7 edge in the series, which is traditionally very physical. The Warriors are out..,to snap a three game winning trend the Colonels possess in the series, during which Lycoming has failed to score. The last time they defeated Wilkes was the shocking 21-19 upset in 1970 which put an end to the Colonels' record 31-game winning streak over MAC opponents. That was also the first defeat for Wilkes since moving to Ralston Field. Coach Schmidt's vivid memories of that game make the Lycoming game a " mµst " win for him every year. But Coach Frank Girardy, the Warrior's head mentor, has indelible memories of last year's game where his defense played a tremendous contest against the Wilkesmen. It was his offense that gave up all the points in Wilkes' 25-0 rout. _ The Colonels intercepted a total of 10 passes that game, three of which went for touchdowns - 2 by Fred Marianacci and one by Dave Trethaway. Jeff Grandinetti also blocked a punt, scooped it up, and ran 17 yards to paydirt. Looking for revenge are 21 returning Warrior lettermen who arc out to improve on last year's poor 2-6 log. Coach Girardy will go with 6'2", Bill Grace to lead his pro-offense which usually puts on an aerial show with plenty of passing. His normal target is 5'10", 160 lb. Jim Rich, an outstanding flanker, who is the Warrior's biggest offensive ·threat. The Colonel secondary will have to be at their best to stop Rich, who collected 25 passes for 363 yards and 4 TD's in 1973. The Warriors running game is almost nil, gathering only 167 yards rushing in 1973. But Lycoming has an added offensive punch in senior Porfirio Gonclaves, a super soccer style kicker, who booted a 48 yarder last year against Delaware Valley. He had 13 three-pointers last campaign. campaign. The Warrior's defense was crushed by graduation, but are rebuilding _ around senior, Dave Eishenhuer, 5'9", 200 lb.

A meager crowd watched the Colonel's in their first outing build a 2-0 lead as a senior co-captain Stellios Patsiokas recorded Wilkes' two goals, one in each half. Stellios, who set a school record last year with 18 goals, seemed to regain his old form, but was unable to receive any scoring help from skillful strikers, George Bene Hoane, Tommy Burns and Roland Igweze. The Upsala College Vikings were a vastly improved squad in comparison with their squad of one year ago . They staged a strong second half comeback, adding two goals to erase the Wilkes lead, with the second goal coming with only three minutes left to play. Sophomore goalkeeper Bill Nardone turned in a strong performance making 12 saves on the rain soaked Colonel turf. Fifth year soccer coach Tom Rokita almost saw his squad A NEW DANCE?-It just wasn't the Colonels afternoon last Saturday, emerge victorious as center forward and the photo above emmulates that fact as QB Chuck S,uppon, and Stellios Patsiokas' last second shot fullback John Baron have a little trouble with a handoff. Result-a two caromed off the Viking crossbar. Commenting on the game and the yard loss. team's progress in the upcoming games, senior John Chakmackus said " we outplayed Upsala, but I think we relaxed a little in the second half after we scored those two goals. " The veteran senior halfback seemed sure that the Colonel hooters would finish the season with a respectable record. He also noted that this years team will play a reduced schedule of only 10 games as compared to 14 games in the past years.

The action came at a meeting in City Hall at which the committee also heard complaints about parking on South River near Academy Street. Both of the committee's actions will directly affect Wilkes College personnel and students since the school maintains parking lots in the first block of South Ri~er Street. Many Wilkes students park on River Street as well. The committee's action was prompted by a report from the Wilkes-Barre City Police. Assistant Police Chief . Al Clocker told the committee that traffic policemen stationed at River and Market Streets report traffic backups arise when motorists attempt to turn left, cross over the northbound lane and enter Wilkes College parking lots. The traffic committee will have "No Left Turn" signs posted in the first block of River Street for a 90 day trial period. , Wilkes personnel wno use the lots located on River Street will now GHOSTS-The Wilkes College Theatre is presently hard at work have to travel north on River Street preparing for the opening of its 1974-75 season.

Although an interview may clinch the job, your first crucial impression is on paper. Here's how to write an eye-catching, door-opening resume in the functional form . It's the best-seller for the " unemployed" with little or no professional experience. . Be neat and succinct on one or at most two pages. Put name, address and telephone at the top. Follow with your job objective. Now, instead of listing paid work experience chronologically by jobs, categorize all work experience, including unsalaried ones, by skill. Under functional subheads, such as ''Sales" and " Writing," ,... describe ·your related work experience in short-paragraph style. Avoid information about salaries, dates, even job titles. A housewife ( trying desperately not to look like she 's peddling fo ur years of diapers and marital bliss ) should not show a potential employer at first glance that her only paid job was part-time during college on a newspaper copy desk. The fun c tional resume concentrates on capabilities, says Kathi Wakefield of MORE for Women , .a career counseling service. For example, this " housewife" can draw on the campaign material she wrote for a local political candidate, the display window she designed for a friend's new culinary shop - all relevant unsalaried experience. It she's brief but all-inclusive in describing • responsibilities and skill gained professionally and voluntarily, she'll certainly look qualified as city hall's " P.R. Assistant." The functional resume also works for the June graduate with a meager four summers' lifeguarding and is sure-fire for the woman changing fields or turning a job into a career. Talking in terms of skills and a ccomplishment - not position titles - makes it easier for a potential employer to see you in a new job situation. Warning: Certain fields, such as law and education, require the ,chronological form, according to ·0ee Campman of Today's Woman, a nationwide executive and professional placement service. In any case, to avoid n~gative reaction from an employer who wants "statistics" immediately, end wit):l a straight biography ( firms ' names, employment dates , schools , degrees, etc. ) The statistics are in, but you've sold capabilities strongly at the start. ~~, 11 : !11!' ...-, -------- Jil ;:~:1l\;~:iI!• 11A1l:i ,,;:; :'l l•Bl~t 1111! if!

" Apartment Extra Room to Share The bicentennial year of 1976 will have a double significance for approximately 30 nursing students at Wilkes College because that will be the year they will graduate as the first fo ur -year class to receive bachelor of science degrees in nursing from the local school. Currently the 30 nursing stude11ts are part of an overall fulltime nursing corps of slightly more than 100 students and as juniors they are paving the way for the many who are expected to follow as_the nursing program grows according to a scedule that has been explained by Ruth McHenry, R. N. , director of nursing at Wilkes. An innovative self-learning laboratory , fully equipped with 18 carrels or electronically equipped independent study units, Educassette recorders that allow the students to respond to the programs, film loop projectors, a mini research library and four bed units equipped with simulated oxygen tanks, will be opened on the third floor of the Stark Learning Center. Mrs. McHenry stated that the student will be able to control his own learning by using the equipment at his own rate of progression and that each individual may learn technical skills in a self-directed manner. She added that the baccalaureate nursing program at Wilkes prepares a competent, self-directed professional nurse practitioner who exerts leadership in adapting to, or developin g emer ging roles in primary' acute and long time care with emphasis on prevention of disa bility and maintenance of health. The curriculum is designed to enable the student to integrate the arts, the sciences, and the humanities with nursing.

But one aspect in particular is worth mentioning in order to set an example. That aspect is the devotion of leaders Stew Feeney, Mike Stambaugh and Bob Howes. Collectively, these groups seem to have a genuine interest in and support from the majority of the student population. This year they have resighted their goals and are ready to_fire. Separately, Stew Feeney's Student Government group is working more than before in the area of academics. Stambaugh's Commuter Council clan has tried to remedy parking problems. JDC boss Bob Howes has hopefully eliminated the one-man rule rel!ime in JDC. These groups will undoubtedly face scores of problems throughout this year. But the enthusiasm, hard work and togetherness that these leaders have displayed thus far will reduce the weight that these problems will bring. They realize that in order to work out problems they must work together as a group with student interests in mind. This togetherness has been absent the past few years in student organizations. Fortunately they bring a whole-hearted interest to their offices, which in the long run, unlike ever before, the student body may catch sight of. Going one step higher the faculty, administration and Board of Trustees might do_well if they as a group follow in these leaders' plot. That is, in the same vem, exert concern and focus themselves as a group in the affairs around us. Sometimes these three levels tend to sidestep getting involved in other ways beyond quitting time at 4:30 on Fridays and should think about lending support to this campus 100 per cent of the time. This is certainly not in all instances but if you look around it does exist. The identity of the Trustees is not too far from being extinct. Some members of the faculty are either t80 busy or too lazy beyond the classroom: And it isnot altogether an outright lie to say the administration doesn 't drink coffee in Weckesser Hall. However, to effectively tackle campus problems and anticipate future woes every level of the college community should be eager to volunteer genuine support. Rather than going under the notion that these higher levels carry a deaf ear it might be wiser if they speak with a more constructive voice. ' At least from a devotion standpoint this year's student organizational leaders are off to a quick start. Let's not hope that other college policy makers do not stand still in the starting blocks. Maybe all the Trustees, and a small gathering of administrators and · faculty should come out of the woodwork and give it that old college try. At least the student leaders seem devoted.

Although Hurricane Agnes caused considerable damages to the Wyoming Valley, it did have at least one positive effect in Northeastern Pennsylvania that of improving the water quality of the Susquehanna River, as related to acid-mine • drainage, according to two Wilkes College environmental scientists. Dr . Mohamed T. E l-Ashry, chairman of the Wilkes College environmental science department; and Charles Mattei, instructor ; recently conducted a Susquehanna River study, supported by a Title I Grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Education through West Chester State College Ecology Project Consortium and published their results in a 16-page pamphlet, " Acid-Mine Drainage and Water Quality of the Susquehanna River Northeastern Pennsylvania. " The report is intended to provide the badly needed data base for future pollution abatement studies on the river and its tributaries in the Wyoming Valley._ According to both men the scenic Susquehanna River could provide a source of food, recreation, and clean water supply for the area if pollution from acid-mine drainage apd organic wastes could be stopped. For the past four years, Wilkes College has maintained a monthly water quality monitoring of 10 points along the river within a stretch of approximately 50 miles from Tunkhannock to Mocanaqua. DATA COLLECTED Data collected include pH, acidity, alkalinity, calcium, total hardness, aluminum, manganese, ferrous and total iron and sulfate quantities. In addition to these 10 points data was also collected from 11 points on the major tributaries in 1973, from the Lackawanna River to Newport Creek, and was used in assessing the post-flood water quality system. The report reads in part: " With the construction of secondary sewage treatment plants in the Lackawanna and Wyoming Valleys, organic waste pollution will be eliminated or considerably minimized. The prospect for a solution to the acid-mine drainage, however, seems remote. "It is evident from the data that considerable deterioration in the quality of the Susquehanna River,,, takes place as it passes through the Wyoming Valley due to the addition of acid-mine discharge . However, constant gradual improvement in the water quality takes place after the river leaves the valley. GRAPHS COMPARED " By comparing the graphs of 1971 with those of 1973, it can be seen that the water quality of the river, as related to acid-mine drainage, was gene~ally better in 1973 than in 1971, despite the fact that the flow of the river for both periods of time was significantly different. " This is probably related to the dilution, and possible stratification effect of the tremendous volume of fresh water from Hurricane Agnes in June, 1972. " The alleviation of present acid-mine drainage as well as successful treatmept of organic waste may help in returning the Susquehanna River to· viability as a source of water supply and recreation " !!I Ill 1111111111111111 Ill Ill 111111111111111111111111111111111 to furnish information .~ oncerning the various officer programs available to all college students. ~l■AFII •'CATERING TO THE NEEDS OF OUR CUSTOMERS" SUPPLI ERS OF ENGINEERING & DRAFTING EOIJIPMENT FULL SELECTION OF EVERY OAY SCHOOL SUPPLIES ONE OF THE AR EA'S LARGEST SELECTION OF GREETING CARDS L-------------------------- fCHACKO'Si = 717- 8 2 2- 7151 486 HAZLE ST .

Roberts, who is Coach Gay Meyers goalie, had seven saves on the afternoon, and played one of the best games of her career. Funke, playing at the center-half position, displayed some excellent stickwork and proved to be the focal-point of the Colonelette defense. During the contest, Wilkes took a total of 22 shots at the go~l, with sowe fine hustle from the front line, but all their efforts proved fruitless, as Albright pulled it out of the bag. Juuior Debbie Titus saw the first varsity action of her career in the Albright game, and impressed Coach Meyers very much while in at the right-halfback slot. On Saturday, the Colonelettes welcomed back the alumni in very obvious style, by beating them 2-0 in . ll 1c pouring rain. Augcla Centrella and Barb Long scored the lone goals in the victory, while Sue Fuuke, and Penny Biaucuni were credited with the assists.

He 's always been in excellent condition, and is as good as any athlete we have had or will ever have at Wilkes College." Horan, complete with his curly, blond hair giving him the physical impression of the all-american boy, began his athletic career at Coughlin High School. He was well-adept in all sports, and earned six letters in football, basketball and track. As a gridder for coach Joe Moran, . who later foll0wed his student to Wilkes, Billy played a host of positions, including offensive guard, lir,ebacker, halfback, and finally defensive safety. It wasn't until he , matriculated to Wilkes that his talent as a receiver was fully utilized. His proven speed as a high school sprinter had coach Schmidt dreaming of another Skvarla. Horan didn't disappoint Schmidt either. In the third game of his freshman year against the Delaware Valley Aggies, he caught touchdown passes of 43 and 73 yards to spearhead a 35-30 win over their MAC rivals.

The Greyhounds have been moved from the Northern-Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference to the Southern branch, and will be prohibited from playing inter-divisional foes in the future. Remember '73 The Greyhounds pulled off the big upset last season, dumping the Wilkesmen 2.1-6, and ruining the Colonels chances of a Middle Atlantic Conference crown. However, the win was ony one of three that the Greyhounds managed all last campaign. Injuries plagued the Bethlehem squad most of last season, and if Calvo can keep his boys healthy for awhile, they should come through with a winning log . They are already 2-0 on the year, with impressive wins over Dickinson and Delaware Valley. Both the Greyhounds and the Colonels play the same hardnosed brand of football, which is characteristic of Calvo and Schmidtcoached teams. Wilkes must stop the Moravian ground attack if they expect to win. Working basically out of the slot-T and the I-formations, the Greyhounds seldom put the ball in the air if it can be avoided. Leading the rushing game for the home squad Saturday will be 6'0, 185-pound Bob Gratz, a tough halfback, wh<r is currently the second lE:!ading rusher in Moravian grid history, . with over 1600 fards coming into the '74 campaign. The man who will be handing off to Gratz-quarterback Fred Ferratti, is another running threat. The 5'10, 170-pound junior completed 48 of 110 passes last year, while only throwing seven interceptions. He is a rollout type passer and often runs with the pigskin. It was this tactic in last year's Moravian-Wilkes contest that had the Colonel's defense stymied all afternoon.

Setting the stage,' a bright glow will illuminate Ralston Field commencing the weekend's festivities when the Wilkes' student body attend the annual bonfire and pep rally tonight.

This year, however, the concert that was scheduled to take place had to be cancelled by Renaissance. Lead vocalist for the British band, Annie Haslam, was recently hospitalized, forcing the group to cancel all engagements for the time being.

The alumni return with varied memories of Wilkes College - some good and some bad. We would also like to take the time and ask the alumni to support the school more actively in the future. It is true that they have been doing a good job in the past and they have donated I iberal ly to -the college, but perh~ps they could do more now. These are hard times for colleges everywhere and Wilkes is no exception. \/ye are "" . faced by the prospect, if not the fact, of decreasing enrollment and higher costs. The alumni could play a role in alleviating the situation. They .can play a role as ambassadors for the school and interest prospective students in Wilkes College . Perhaps they can also dig a little deeper into their pockets when donating to the school as well. Redevelopment Mr. Hoover suggests two service projects which Wilkes students could participate in on page 5. The BEACON would like to add another project. Why not get involved and try to save the old Central Railroad of New Jersey station .from being destroyed. Redevelopment is a good thing and it has changed the f ace of much of downtown Wilkes- Barre. The change is needed, especially after the flood. We will have a modern, beautiful city in the near future. It is unfortunate though, that in the process we have lost many architectural monuments from the city's history. The old buildings around Public Square were quite beautifu·1 in their own way. Redevelopment is good, but only so far. We must stop somewhere and preserve what is left of our history before it is too late. This could be the start. Co-Managing Editors . .. Marianne Montague and Fran Polakowski ..

Advisor ............ . ........ Thomas J . Moran To the Editor: Security has always been a major issue on the Wilkes Campus. Although many individuals think that this matter has been settled, we must, as concerned students, report an unfortunate incident that occurred on the afternoon of October 3. We always felt that materials left in our car were safe among students, faculty, and administration here. However, we must report the theft of a small brown bag containing two patties of egg foo young (one· regular, one chicken flavor) . Perhaps the culprit was a desperate dormitory student on his or her way to the cafeteria. Perhaps it was a faculty member returning from yet another unsatisfactory visit to the Commons. We would hate to imagine that his. could be the work of an individual who opposes our political or religious beliefs. At any rate, this incident definitely raises serious questions concerning the moral fiber of the Wilkes College Family.

For most former graduates this weekend will uncover a touch of nostalgia. As they ride down River Street they will take careful notice of the new buildings, and surroundings and revisit some of the more familiar sights. They might even remember Homecoming when they were here in the good old days as they watched alumni return to a place where they once spent four memorable years. They will marvel at the structure of the new Student Learning Center and express amazement concerning the Wilkes-Hahnemann Cooperative Medical Program, wishing these opportunities existed when they were here in the good old days. Even to some the CPA is new hat. others used Kirby Hall when it was the library. Pickering Hall, the men's dormitory, was once grounds for a business enterprise. The commons of today was the cafeteria of yesterday. Weckesser Hall had the title of a women's dorw.itory and there was a time when visitation was unheard of and it was exceedingly unhealthy to your college well-being, to express in public, your likings for your favorite female on River Street. Some will even remember when the Letterman's Club was one of, if not the most, influential student group on campus. Nor the times when Art Hoover's residence was Butler House. Those times are still fresh in all former graduates minds about their undergraduate days. But now as graduates they are a part of some 9500 American bread winners who make up the Wilkes Alumni. For the most part they have kept up their ever so vital role in recruiting students and locating jobs for seniors and supporting the college financially. In m_any cases many of our Alumni wouldn't have had the opportunity to get where they are today if it wasn't for this college. The Wilkes Alumni have and will continue to play an active role in aiding the current undergraduates. With present economic conditions slicing the job market the Alumni must be watchful and obliging in the future of nearing graduates. Many former graduates now head large companies and hold key positions in many large corporations. Many are associated with school systems both locally and out of state. Many Wilkes Alumni · are presently employed by the United States Government. Many are full time professors here at Wilkes as well as at many other colleges and universities.

Everyone Has A void Hamburgers To Conserve Energy Disappointments Everybody has disappointments in life. But most people don't know how to handle them. They let the disappointments get them down. Becoming depressed over a disappointment only makes it worse - and paves the way to further disappointments. But the effects of a disappointment can be controlled to a person's advantage - if he follows certain basic rules. The best rule for handling any disappointment is: Give it as ·little emphasis as possible. Be positive. Place all your emphasis on successful alternatives not on the disappointment itself. Limit the amount of time you spend on regrets and feeling sorry for yourself. I know a writer who allows himself only 15 minutes to feel unhappy over a rejected manuscript before he gets back to work. He told me: "I find it a lot easier for myself as well as my family to wallow in misery for only 15 minutes, and it's just as effective as doing it for 15 hours." Another rule is: Keep busy. If you give in to misery over your disappointment and stop all activity, you will make yourself ill. No matter what your ambition may be, work even harder toward that goal when it is frustrated by a disappointment. There's an old folk saying that goes : "Never is one door closed but that another opens somewhere." This is good psychology. It means that other courses of action are always open to you, regardless of your present disappointment. And that's another rule: Consider disappointments as only temporary gaps in your life. They are never permanent - unless you continually brood over them. A final rule is: Carefully examine the situation that disappointed you. Disappointments are only relative to the situation that caused them. You might be surprised to find that you haven't been disappointed at all. All too often people make up their minds about wanting a certain thing and focus their full attention on only one aspect of the goal to the exclusion of all other aspects. On this basis it's easy for people to convince themselves they've been disappointed - when in fact only one avenue has been closed to them. Yet usually there are many more routes they can take to reac.h their goal if they turned off the one-lane "No man is an Island, entire of itself; everyman is a piece of the path to find another, broader road. Continent, a part of the main." --John Donne So even if you think you've had a disappointment, "The learner, like the discoverer, must believe before he can know." consider it a roadblock that can be bypassed. Once you -Micha~l Polanyi find a route around it, it no longer can exist as a disappointment. ~-p-la_c_e_m_e_n_t_s._______________ , - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Concert Even at th_e curre~t soaring price More households and yet fewer of m~at, 1s cuttmg down on people per U.S. household results in hamburgers really going to help more energy consumption per save a~y energy? . person, the authors found .

Second string QB Rick Simonson responded to the situation though, and led the Colonels all the way to another Lambert Bowl and yet another undefeated season. Goes Out a Winner 1969 was Zak's last as a Wilkes Colonel, and he ended it in legendary style. With most of last season's stars graduated, Joe led a mostly inexperienced unit to yet another winning season, although the great Colonel winning streak stopped at 32, when the Wilkesmen · lost to Ithaca in the fourth game of '69. The Air Force ROOC College Program has 3 things to offer that other college programs don't. After he graduated from Wilkes, Zak married Barbara Mooney and moved to Harrisburg, where he worked for Sears in their management training program. Last March though, Joe moved back into the area to go into the construction business with his brother-in-law, Brinley Varchol, who was one of the greatest linebackers Wilkes College has ever produced. In his spare time, Zak coaches a mini-football squad, comprised of youngsters from the Hanover area. Joe's accomplishments during that "golden age" of Colonel football are now written in immortality, and although it is true that they will never write a song about this remarkable human being or name a stadium in his honor, Joe Zakowski is a legend in his own time; and for the people that watched him play, and for the youngsters that once idolized his every movement, Zak makes those yesterdays seem all the more worth reliving, time and time again.

Tuesday, October 8th Dearest: We received your letter last night. We had gotten home late as we were looking and test-riding the Mercury Monarck. Daddy read your letter out loud while I star ted dinner. Lance just beamed when he he'ard his name mentioned. After dinner we went to the Oldsmobile place. They gave us a price· on a car coming in without a defogger on the back window. I had wanted it (you know, the coils on the back window) but they tried to talk us out of it. We are very mixed up. The Mercury would be about $350 cheaper (with the defogger ) but Daddy still feels the Olds is more car. Each dealer is trying to get a 24-hour sale for his low price. We are going to get a white car with red top and interior no matter which car. ... Glad to hear you are getting along fine in school. We all wish you luck on the exams. I am going to send you money. Get a shirt if it is cold (for the dance ) and I am sure it must be getting cold there. I sure wish you had your winter coat. You can carry your suit jacket and change at the dance, if it is cold. And now an English lesson. All proper names are C<Jpitalized. ( You wrote david, english, pirates, etc.) Currently.has two r 's. The word for _"you are" is " you're, the ' taking the place of the a; not " your" which means belonging to you. Watch these little things when you write your thesis. Careless .punctuation can make a bad impression on your reader even though what you are saying is worth while. I want you to know I am very proud of you for making such a good effort. Someone once said, "It's not failure that is a disgrace but never ~aving tried:" Or something to that effect as I am not qu~ting verbatim. (Verbatun means word for word.) Say, you're the one in college; you should be teaching me. Give us a call and be sure to have a good time at the dance. Am enclosing $10. Love from us all.

DENIM Pl.AIDS I I �October 17, 1974 -- THE BEACON Sports Chatter By Paul Domowitch · Reflections He lay there motionless. The once boiste'.·ous crowd became silent as the ambulance drove onto the field. A few minutes later, Juniata's Mike Ha~selman, a big, strong defensive tackle was put into the emergency vehicle on a stretcher and carted to the hospital. As we sat there in the pressbox, a similar scene came to our mind. It has been almost two years since Bobby McBride, a once vibrant, scrappy performe~ for the Wilkes College grid team died as a result of head injuries suffered m a contest against King's Point. Fortunately for Hanselman· however, he only suffered a bruised neck and will be able to play another day. But for Bobby McBride, there are no tomorrows and for those who knew him and loved him, there are only memories, a~d thoughts of what · could have been. Football is a ~angerous game, no one will argue that point. But so is any other aspect of hfe, and those that play the game realize the risks involved. Bobby McBride and Mike Hanselman could have played tennis or basketball instead, but they loved the grid sport, and chose to compete. What is the point of all this you ask? It is twofold; to point out the danger of football would be one perhaps, but more importantly, to reflect on that sad day two seasons ago. This year's squad has an opportunity to win their first Middle Atlantic Conference championship in five years, and even much more. They have the potential to be a great team and revel .in the glory that goes with victor~. Bobby McBride never got that chance. He too had the potential to be great; a great human being. But fate cut that potential short. When the Colonels take to the field this Saturday afternoon, the memory of McBride will hover over Ralston Field. Somewhere, the spirit of the dead Colonel is rooting for his former teammates to win it all; to accomplish what he himself never did. Ithaca will not be easily beaten. They are a tough, determined squad. But the Wilkesmen will have an added advant_age; the past. The Blue Bombers will have to contend with 12 players out there on the gridiron Saturday; eleven of coach Rollie Schmidt's best from 1974, and the memory of a twelfth, who never saw his dream come true. Win one for Bobby boys! The Colonels put it all together last weekend against Juniata. What was expected to be a nip and tuck battle, turned into a Wilkes rout, with the Blue and Gold pulling away from the Indians, 30-9. The offense was picture-perfect, and the defense was awesome. Billy Horan, Mickey Calabrese, and ~oe Dettmore all missed the Juniata contest with injuries, but hopefully will be healthy for Saturday. Paul Wengen was Horan's replacement at the one wide receiver position and made some important receptions early in the game. With " the Breeze" out, Rodney Smith played almost the entire game Saturday and responded well. He gained 85-yards rushing on the afternoon, and almost broke a few others for some long gainers. Dettmore's replacement at the one wide-recei_ver position and made s_ome important starting debut for the Colonels. , Another freshman who has got some future · ahead of him •is Tony Couto. The Colonels have had a history of great linebackers; Brinley Varchol, P.J. Kane, and Frank Galicki to name a few. And we thin!{ Couto has the potential to become the best of the best. Against the Indians, Tony had eight first hits, blocked an extra-point attempt, and also blocked a punt, which teammate Terry Blaum fell on in the endzone for a touchdown. r TONY COUTO Before he hangs up his spikes, Tony is going to make quite a name for himself.

The Colonels of course, trounced Juniata College 30-9 to remain unbeaten in conference play, while Albright won a squeaker over Susquehanna, 14-9 last Sa~day night in Reading. The Lions are 4-0 in the MAC, with wins over Lycoming, 16-0, Upsala, 42-0, Delaware Valley, 37-13, and the Susquehanna victory. Coach Roland Schmidt's Colonels on the other hand, have beaten Lycoming, 20-14, and Juniata last week.

The Colonels traveled to Annville on Wednesday and suffered a close 26-33 setback to Lebanon Valley and a 21-40 nod to Delaware Valley. Zavoy and Boris tied for first in the Lebanon Valley encounter with a 26:59 clocking over the 5.0 home Flying Dutchman course. They were third versus a good Del Val club. Later on Friday, the charges of George Pawlush took on UniversityDivision Rider College at Trenton, N.J. and were beaten, 17-44, Zavoy and Boris finished fifth and sixth in that combat. The Blue and Gold will be idle this week preparing for their fullest slate of combat ever next week. "The period will either. make or break us," Pawlush said, "we're meeting nine fees in three meets and with some good performance I think we can pull off at least five wins." Action starts on Tuesday when the harriers entertain Lock Haven St., Susquehanna, and Baptist Bible at Ralston Field. The next day the Wilkesmen journey to Scranton where they will lock horns with Upsala, Wagner, Albright and Scranton. (Continued on Page 6) ·) While Albright and Juniata battle it out this weekend, Wilkes will be idle from Middle Atlantic Conference play and will take on Ithaca College. The Blue and Gold resume with their conference rivals the next eekend though, traveling to Selinsgrove, ~a. to take on Susquehanna. Also, remaining on the Wilkesmen's schedul~ are Upsala on November 2, Delaware Valley on November 9, and Albright in the season finale for both squads · on the 16th of . November. That contest will take place in Reading. The Lions have only Juniata and Wilkes left, while Juniata must face hapless Upsala on October 26, and Yes We Can ... Delaware Valley on November 2. For Juniata, a loss to Albright this w~e~end, would mathematically elunmate them from championship laurels. If Albright loses, Wilkes will have a big edge, with only Upsala and Del Val in their way before the showdown with the Lions.

Ralston Field. A victory over the Blue Bombers would give the Colonels of coach Roland Schmidt a big boost in their quest for the Lambert Bowl. Ithaca, under the direction of Coach Jim Butterfield, has won the last five meetings in the series, which dates back to 1949. The five-game winning trend began in 1969, when the Bombers squeaked out a 13-7 victory, snapping the Colonel's phenominal 32-game winning streak.

The destruction of Homecoming displays, the removal and ripping of club posters, and the theft of articles make it painfully clear that the problem is one to be contended with. It is a shame that Jhis vandalism occurs at Wilkes. It is true, some of the damage is done by outsiders, but Wilkes students are also to blame. Vandalism should not occur here and it is the duty of all Wilkes students to work against such actions. If you see someone doing something wrong, report it. It is your campus and if you won't take care of it no one else will. Inflation Inflation is perhaps the greatest problem in the United States today. It is something which is of primary concern to the college student as well. The schools are forced to raise . tuition because of the higher costs they must pay to run the colleges. Th is in turn puts more pressure on the student and his parents. The>t are the ones who must pay the bills and in the end they are bearing the brunt of inflation. The student is not only faced with higher tu it ion. Inflation has caused prices to increase on many goods and services which the average student uses. Most students' incomes rem a in low despite the price hikes and the student is left in a bind. Hopefully the government can come ·up with an effective program to stop inflation. Until then, . some effort should be made to help students and those other sectors of society which are suffering the most because of inflation. 'Beacon ... · E ditor in Chief .. To the Editor: The "Voice of the Students" (alias the Beacon) has once again criticized without just cause. In last week's editorial entitled "Improper Planning" the staff of the Beacon saw fit to find fault with Ms. Seleski's planning of the Homecoming Weekend. The article claimed that there weren't enough activities for the undergraduates. Let's take a look at exactly: what was available to the students. On Thursday night the traditional Bonfire, Friday night there was the highly successful Homecoming Dinner Dance as well as the Wilkes production of "Ghosts" at the C.P.A. On Saturday there was the soccer match, football game, the card party held at the Commons (which was held as an alternate to the sock-hop, which rtidn't come off for good reasons) and another performance of "Ghosts." · Sunday there was the Ecumenical Service ( attended by about 15 students and a total of 30 people) and the final showing of "Ghosts" at the C.P.A. The question now is: Just how many events constitutes enough? If the ones mentioned weren't, then I have no idea what would be. Not only were these activities available to all students but there were also others. Denison Hall held a very successful and enjoyable ·dinner dance on Saturday night and numerous informal parties were held on, campus over the weekend. Also, let us not forget, that the alumni events were also open to undergraduates. . . With all this in mind, I believe that the Beacon arid Student Government ~epresentatives, who couldn't come up with an alternate to their concert which didn't come off, owe Ms. Seleski an apology. An apology meant not only for their unwarranted remarks in last week's paper but also for not coming forward before the weekend to offer their suggestions and help. Perhaps the problem is that none of these "critics" had anything constructive to offer! Vincent Matteo To the Editor, I would like to comment on· the letter printed in the October 17 Beacon, hopefully to clear up a couple misconceptions. The proposed program in Spain was not to have been a "hectic tour situation" but rather three weeks of residence in one Spanish city, during which time students would have lived with Spanish families who did not speak English. There would have been four hours of class day (20 hours a wee~). The usual course at Wilkes meets three hours a week. Thus the total number of class hours included in the proposed in\erim course (not including excursions and special lectures by Spanish artists and intellectuals) would have been greater than that of the Spanish 204 course to be offered next semester: Spanish 204 is an introduction to Spanish history and culture.

OBSERVER by Rich Colandrea Destruction, for the sake of itself, serves no meaningful purpose for anyone unless he is a sheer killjoy. No doubt, at certain times, people seem to get great pleasure destroying the property of others, yet are the first to squeal when their property is deliberatel-y damaged. · To date, there have been isolated incidents presumably of students taking the initiative to outwardly destroy and ruin property arou:'d this _campus. For instance, the recently installed parking gates have given students in a car, on a bike or on foot such smashing results. Around six gates have been snapped off during the past month or so. The Men's dormitory receives the brunt of damage as the glass windows are popular targets where people get their kicks. Not to mention the broken light fixtures, chairs, tables and scorched carpets which are great late night fun. The New Men 's dorm probably costs more to maintain than is worth. Now the Psychology Club has reported their Homecoming display damaged while the German Club has thoughts about those who tore down their Oktoberfest notices. In the past, other clubs and organizations have encountered such results. If these events seem trivial they might just be. But they are a sad indication of the behavior of some students on · this campus. When someone sees fit to unreasonably destroy the articles of others no matter what the cost or value, then they are in urgent need of help. These destructive acts will always jell in destructive people where at times they feel chosen to kick, smash, tear, pull or throw objects other than their own in order to be satisfied. The next time you seek to destroy, for no good reason private property, restrain momentarily; and run at th~ nearest brick wall.

Rowe's Boats gave them some trouble in the second game of the By Paul Domowitch season, but the Roughriders displayed their true form againstthe Dennison Howlers last week, popping them 27--0. Bob Balfour quarterbacks the The play of the Wilkes f\ridders last weekend reminded us of a quote, Roosevelt offense, with Zeke Sports . Chatter which appeared in "Sports Illustrated" magazine last week. The article, written by Larry Keith, dealt with Alfred University-and gave an inside look at small college football. The few words that made the greatest impression on us were spoken by Alfred coach Alex Yunevich, who said of his squad: "We ~ever lose. Finish second ~aybe, but we never l?se." The Colonels did not lose last weekend either. They played their hearts out against powerful Ithaca College, and finished in second by ten points. No one can be considered a loser, when they give 100 per cent effort, and that's exactly what coach Rollie Schmidt's boys did. , For one half of a ball game, their offense, undei: the brilliant guidance and play-calling ability of Greg Snyder, and their defense completely devastated the Blue Bombers and took a 14-7 lead into the locker room. The Bobby McBride fi~ld house was chaotic during intermission. Every player, from co-capta4ls Terry Blaum and Billy Horan down to the little-used reserves_were m ecstasy, and were not hiding what they felt. They were ready to go out in that second half and play some more inspired football. But Ithaca . . . powerful Ithaca did what they had to do in that final 30 minutes and pulled it out 24-14. Rollie Schmidt was disappointed over the loss. Who wouldn't be. They had one of the best grid teams in the East on the ropes, and couldn't put them away. But with that disappointment went justified pride. No one gave his boys any kind of a chance against the New Yorkers, and yet they came ever so close to upsetting them. Rollie, like ourselves realized the Colonels_ came of age in that game, and even though they are still a year away from nation'.11 recognition,_thi~ year:s squad is going to win itsel! _a Middle Atlantic Conference title, 1f nothing else. They have found a bomf1ed leader in Greg Snyder, and the defense, which was supposedly a weak spot, has played super football . A perfect example of the confidence that showed itself out on the Ralston gridiron on Saturday was the play of safety Dave Trethaway. With time ticking away in the first half, Dave picked off an enemy aerial and took it down the sidelines. With only twenty seconds remaining, the obvious move by Dave would have been to run it out of bounds at the twenty and save the precious seconds that remained. But Jake felt he could take it in, and turned upfield getting all the way to the four before being nailed. That's what ability and coming of age can do to a ball club. Snyder's two touchdown passes were two of the best calls we've seen a qua,tj:erback make in a long time. The first was a 24-yard scoring pass to BtlJ~:H.oran, in which Greg rolled right giving the indication of a run, and th'eTI,j:prowing against the grain to a wide open Horan. The second was even more· brilliant. Using a full house backfield, Snyder tried unsuccessfully tw1ee,'on dive plays up the middle. Then with the same offensive formation, hiJ:Jiailfullback John Baron fake into the line, and then spring right, where Snyder hit him right in the hands for a score.

Zaborney, and either Bob Armstrong or Brian Haekler accompanying him in the backfield. Big blow to the Roosevelt Roughrider running attack was the loss of Vernon ·Zellner, who is concentrating on wrestling now. Vernon broke loose on a 90 yard run against Dennison. Making the Roosevelt sweep so successful has been the play of linemen Tom Lubas, Don Nash, Jim Yosh and Jim Garner. · The Roosevelt defense has been as awesome as the Rams. Lubas, Armstrong and Nash make up the line, and have been getting to the opposition's signal caller time and time again. Linebackers Skip Murray and Rick Molash are both very quick and blitz well.

Coach Rollie Schmidt's boys are ready to rebound this week, however, and keep their UP AND OVER-C'tllonel signal caller Greg Snyder is pictured here letting one of his aerials fly against Ithaca last weekend.

Middle Atlantic Conference standings. Susquehanna is not going to make it a picnic for Wilkes though. The winner of this year's contest between Wilkes and Susquehanna will be awarded the Amos Alonzo Stagg trophy, symbolic of victory in the 15th annual Stagg Bowl, in honor of the late great grid mentor. Susquehanna University is deep in football tradition. Under the guidance of legendary coach Jim Garrett, who later went on to be an assistant coach with the New York Giants, the Crusaders compiled a 39-4-1 record between the years 1960 and 1964. But as the glory years dissipated for Susquehanna, Wilkes J:>egan a golden era of their own, which included their legendary 32-game winning streak. _ Chuck Smeltz, who earned allconference laurels in '73.

Many parents of the Colonelettes were on hand for the clash as this game was designated as Parents' Day 1974. Wilkes will now go down in NPWIAA history as the first team to earn the league's field hockey championship as this league was just formed this year., Misericordia was really fired up in the first half, while Wilkes was sluggish and had trouble putting plays together. But, the second half belonged to Wilkes. Diane Jones and Debbie Titus had many key interceptions and set up plays for the offense. Miss Jones played one of the better games of her career and should be credited with tough "heads-up" defensive play. Barb Long and Angela Centrella set the offense in motion with their Ellen Schwartz, Marivita Saleski, fine passing. The whole line rushed Barb Long, (2), and Penny Bianconi. well in the second half which W;,lS Coach Gay Meyers commented, reflected in -the Blue and Gold " Penny could do no wrong; she was scoring. Penny Bianconi exploded rushing harder than I've ever seen for three goals while Miss Centrella and really hustled all day.

Wilkes the line had some good passing and enters the game with a season dodging. Assists were credited to overall record of 4-3-1. Lawlor Is Tough The offensive · attack is led by stellar sophomore halfback Tim Lawlor. The 5'10, 175-pounder was the first freshman in Susquehanna history to gain over 500 rushing yards in one season. Lawlor turned . the trick last annum, collecting 669. Tim is a top candidate for All-Mac honors this season. Handling the quarterbacking duties is senior Mike Butterbaugh. Mike stands 6'0, 170 pounds, and completed nearly 50 per cent of his passes last season. Mike's favorite target is split end Jeff Stelty. Stelty, a junior, had 26 receptions last season, which was good for 340 yards. In his first two contests this year, he has hauled in 17 aerials for 225 yards! The key to a Colonel win will be shutting off the ButterbaughStelty combination, along with containing Lawlor's running. Although they are last in total defense, giving up an average of 358 yards per game, the Crusaders have posted two shutouts this season already. Key to the Susquehanna " D" is 5'11, 205-pound defensive end TIM LAWLO_R . , Juniata Indians 'Pound Albright To Put Colonels On Top Of MAC With 2-0 Log By virtue of Juniata's exciting 28-27 victory over previously undefeated Albright College last weekend, the Wilkes College gridders have taken sole possession of first place in the Middle Atlantic Conference "Northern Division." The Colonels were idle in conference play last weekend, but travel to Selinsgrove, Pa. this Saturday to take on arch-rival Susquehanna in the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl.

Overall, the Crusaders are a team, _ who can give anyone a tustle when they want to play. They proved that against Juniata, when they outplayed them for three full quarters, before succumbing 21-7. Their win last week indicates that their spirits are high, but Wilkes will be their toughest opponent to •date, and Rollie and his boys want that MAC crown so bad they can taste it.' Although last week's loss to Ithaca may have a detrimental effect on the Colonel's, they will be just too much for the home team to handle. The Wilkes running attack should have its best afternoon of the 1974 season, and when the final whistle blows, Susquehanna will walk glumly away with a 2-4-1 log, and the Colonels will move another step forward, towards the Middle Atlantic Conference championship_,_ Wilkes by Jiine. BLOCKING WINS BALL GAMES-And fullback Fr~ddy Lohman (22) does it better than most. Here he is pictured leading the way for a partially hidden Rodney Smith in last Saturday's contest. When he wasn't blocking, Lohman was lugging the ball himself. Against the Blue Bombers he gained almost 80 yards on the ground. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The competition for constructed building projects was judged by an out-of-state jury. The award was presented for the design of the Wilkes College Science and Learning Center Building, shown above, recent~y c~mpl~t~d on S?uth River Street, Wilkes-Barre: Accepting the award on behalf of Wilkes College was Dr. ranc1s M1chehru, president, and on behalf of La<:y, Atherton & Davis, James o. Lacy. SLC Receives Architecture Award Wilkes College and the architect firm of Lacy, Atherton, and Davis were presented an award by the Pennsylvania Society of the American Institute of Architects for the design of the Wilkes College Science and Learning Center Building . The new building presented two unique design problems. First, it had to be connected to an existing structure - the Stark Science Building, and provide continuous circulation between the two buildings on all floors.

It is a revival of what was once the very popular Winter Carnival Weekend. With the cancellation of the concert by Renaissance, the above groups felt that some other activity should be offered to the students as. a substitute. They came up with several ideas and finally settled on the Winter Carnival idea. They scouted around until the_y found a location that they felt offered a weekend affordable to the students. White View Resort, on Lake Wallenpaupack, has a two day and two night package. You will arrive on Friday evening and be assigned a cottage. Each can accommodate from eight to twelve people. in four bedrooms. They also have a television, fireplace, kitchen and two bathrooms. White View offers sledding (they provide the sleds), tobogganning (they provide the toboggans) with an 800 foot slope, skating ( bring your <;>wn skates), a game room with a fireplace, and a small lounge with a fireplace. For those who like skiing, Tanglewood is located about 15 minutes away. Due to high cost, there will be a limit of 200 people who can attend. The five groups mentioned above have between them contributed about ~300 to bring tlie cost down to $20 per .Wilkes College student. If there are any tickets left, they will be offered to non-students at a cost somewhere between $25 and $30. The cost includes all of the services mentioned. transportation (Continued on Page 4) • F.

Don Quixote is pictured as a g1 acious symbol of good, moving sincerely in a world of cynics, hypocrites and rogues. The age-old conflict between idealism and reality is made extremely poignant in this intelligent adaptation.

The lone goal for Wilkes was scored by senior left wing, Angela Centrella. The goal was unassisted, the first of its kind for Miss Centrella. · The Colonelettes defense lagged during the first half while Susquehanna constantly rushed and shot.

Sports Chatter Roosevelt • And B utler Lose First By Paul Domowitch · Close ·c all It wasn't exactly what you would call a runaway, but the final score showedthe Colonels a winner 10-8, and that's all that mattered. Holding on to a 10-0 lead last Saturday at Susquehanna, which seemed more than enough of a bulge the way the fired-up Colonel defense was playing, Wilkes saw the momentum shift to the Crusaders in the final period, when they mounted a scoring drive spanning an incredible 24 plays and nine minutes! Deciding to go for two, Susquehanna succeeded, and suddenly the home squad was trailing the Wilkesmen by a meager two points. Susquehanna got their hands on the ball again, and moved it into field goal range for their spectacular kicking specialist Chuck Smeltz. Only :49 seconds remained as Smeltz put his foot into the pigskin on the 38-yard stripe ( a 48-yard attempt ). It went straight as an arrow, but fell "two yards" in front of the cross bar. Well, you know what they say : "victory is victory, whether it be by one point or a thousand." Coach Rollie Schmidt has every right to be proud of his squad this year, especially the defense. Led by linebacker Steve Leskiw, who has been in on almost 40 tackles in the last two contests, the " D" put up a great goal-line stand against the Crusaders, only to be spurned on fourth down by a roll left, pass right play. The Susquehanna signal caller caug!tt th~ Colonels shifting just a bit too much. But their performance on the previous three plays, when Susquehanna had a first down on the three yard-line was nothing short of great. , The Blue and Gold secondary received a telling blow in the first period Saturday, when safety Dave Trethaway injured his hand, and sat out the ' remainder of the contest. Jake should be ready for the Upsala encounter however, as should co-captain Billy Horan, who re-injured his knee in the Ithaca battle. We have to question the coaching strategy of Susquehanna mentor Jim Hazlett for a decision he made Saturday. After his team crossed the Colonel 35-yard line, and got a first down with well over a minute and a half remaining in the game, Hazlett ran three straight dive plays, and was willing to put the entire balance of the game in the leg of Chuck Smeltz. Smeltz missed by two yards of course, and if his team would have gotten him just a little closer , the Colonel smiles would have turned to looks of anguish. Well, Susquehanna blunders are our reward.- Weisenfluh Hurting The Wilkes College wrestling team has begµn practice in preparation for their early December opening against powerful Lehigh University. Unlike last season, when the Colonel grapplers were forced to. take on the Engineers in enemy territory, this year's match will be in the friendly confines of the Wilkes gymnasium, before a packed house of Blue and Gold rooters. Coach Reese has already come up with a problem however. Jim Weisenfluh, who has the potential to become one of the finest upperweight wrestlers the school has ever produced, has injured his knee. When this paper went to press, the x-rays were not in yet, but the suooosition is a torn knee cartilage. If the x-rays determine this to be true , coach Ree~e wo~ld like to have Junmy get It repaired immediately, so he can be back m action by possibly the Navy meet. Recovering to 100 per cent potentia~ from an operation of this sort varies with the individual, but usuall~ 1t c~ be anywhere from four to six weeks. There have been exceptional cases however. An Oregon University grappler once was back on the mats 12 days after being under the knife! Only time will tell. Meanwhile, the remainder of the Colonel "family " seem willing and able to bring another Division III national championship trophy to the old homestead, before turning big-time (D~vision I) in 1975. IM Superstars DOUBLE TEAMED-Larry Gurnari (left ), and Bob Klish (right) , two of the stalwart defensive performers for the undefeated Rams in the IM Football League are all over Roosevelt receiver Bob Armstrong.

Webster II belted previously unbeaten Butler House 18-6, while the Rams shutout Roosevelt 6-0. It was all Billy Winter for Webster II in their fourth win of the 1974 season. Winter, the team's ace quarterback, ran for two scores, and passed to split end Joe Leone for the final tally of the afternoon. The Webster II defense held highly touted Butler signal caller, John Pinelli in check most of the afternoon, but John managed one scoring toss · to teammate Steve Coleman late in the opening half. However , Winter put it away on his team's first possession of the second half, going over from the ten, behind some formidable blocking. It took an 11-yard scoring toss from I Rich Cronauer to halfback Mike Ellis with three minutes remaining in the game to give the Rams their fourth victory of the year over the tough Roosevelt Roughriders. It looked like the powerhouse Rams were going to have to settle for a 0-0 tie, before they got their option offense moving late in the contest. Ellis broke loose to the outside for a 15-yard gain, and Cronauer kept for another 15, setting the stage for the winning aerial. Chmiola Picks Off Two The Ram defense, le d by roverba ck Joe Chmiola's two interceptions, and great line play, contained the powerful Roughrider running attack almost the entire game. Roosevelt did get a chance to score at the conclusion of the first half however. With quarterback Bob Balfour keeping, and running for substantial gains, and a major penalty charged against the Rams, Roosevelt moved the ball to the Ram 11 yard line with only eight seconds remaining in the half. They attempted a field goal and Don Nash's kick had the distance, but was wide by inches.

SG Will Keep Two Voting Stations, Frosh Elections Declared Invalid In a short and comparatively unproductive meeting, Student Government decided to retain the voting stations in the Commons and in the Lobby of the New Men's Dorm. The proposal to have one voting boothin in the Student Union Building came after the statement that the Freshman elections were invalidated. Apparently Circle K failed to set up a voting booth in the New men's Dorm during the posted hours. Gina O'Brien led the debate to retain th~ present voting areas. She stated that the ballot boxes were in heavily traveled areas and to move them to the SUB would result in lower student participation. There were barely enough members in attendance to take a vote. The motion passed, 7 to 6 with no abstentions. Polly Seleski was present to read the final report of the Homecoming budget . .Student Government spent $2904 in subsidizing the four days of activities. An itemized breakdown is available at the Student Government offices. After readirig her report, Polly left for parts unknown. Probably because Student Government wasn't doing anything interesting.

'"'" College Resident Tells Semester Woes See Your Advisor Dear Mr. Editor: I just thought I'd drop you a line and let you know how my semester is coming along. I read all the letters you get evety week. Everyone around here seems to have a lot to complain about and they all depend on you to help them solve their problems. I feel sorry for you but you asked for it. So, I thought I'd add my few small suggestions to improve Wilkes College life. First of all I think that the library shoUld be open 24 hours a day every day. I get the urge to study at 3 o'clock in the morning sometimes Every Fall and every Spring, students go through the process of registering for the next . semesters courses. For some it is a tim_e of confusion, to others a simple proces-s requiring little effort. All students have one thing in comrr,on at this time-or they should. They meet with their faculty advisor. For many students, registration is the onJy time they ever see their advisors. Some students never even bother to see them then either, they have another member of the department ...sign for them. This is not right. Students and their faculty advisors could develop a .meanir:tgful relationship which could benefit both the students and the faculty. Students would have someone to talk to and help them with their academic planning and problems. The faculty would discover more about the students they teach and wou Id receive student feedback. This give and take relationship would be a constructive one benefitting all involved. Bl;Jme for the lack of such relationships rests on both the stud~:mts and the faculty. Too often the student just doesn't want to develop the _relationship, other times the teacher isn't available for student conferer.ces or just doesn't care to get involved. 'I i;:::~3 and I'm disappointed when I find that the ·library is closed.

Block, assistant professor of Philosophy at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will present a public lecture, "IQ: Heritability, Inequality, and its Social Effects," on Tuesday, November 12, 1974, at 8:30 p.m. in the Center for the Performing Arts lounge. Dr. Block's lecture is being presented under the auspices of the Thales Philosophical Society of Wilkes College, in cooperation with the Departments of Philosophy and Biology, the Sociology Club, and the Biological Society. Dr. Block is co-editor, with the noted philosopher Gerald Dworkin, of the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle, of THE IQ Controversy: Critical Readings (forthcoming). He has written numerous articles for philosophical and psychological journals. . In addition to his philosophical training, · Dr. Block has been a postdoctoral F ellow in the Department of Psychology at MIT. Professor Block has been concerned with the issue of the meaning and social import of the construct of IQ. This issue has come into a special prominence in recent years, especially in the works of Jensen and Hernstein, who have claimed that IQ is an inheritable trait, and who have accordingly advocated a segregated education for persons of differentiated, inherited IQ's. Dr. Block is interested in two major issues of the IQ controversy: first, the conceptual and factual issues arising ot of tqe use of IQ testing; and second, the issue which will form the subject for his presentation at Wilkes College, i.e. , the issue of the social, political, and educational implications of the • tthesis that IQ has a high heritability, and the problem of the morality of research and writing concerning the subject of genetic, racial IQ differentiation. Block rejects the thesis that IQ's can measure intelligence, claiming that the very concept of intelligence is too inexact to function as a criterion for differentiating human performance, especially with relation to racial or ethnic groups. He is highly critical of the attempts to use the concept .of heritability of IQ as a means of segregating persons into classes. On the whole, he sees potential for considerable social harm of the concept of heritability of IQ is made a basis for public policy.

Getting Up For The Little Ones Upsala was a ·bad team. They lacked talent, spirit, and aggressiveness. And what's more, they lacked belief in themselves. When they took the field last Saturday, against the Colonels, they knew they were beaten even before Rodney " the Rocket" Smith rambled into the endzone with the first Blue and Gold score. Their own school newspaper belittled them, and t:-ie fans came more to get a good laugh than to see a grid contest. But somehow, this poor excuse for a football team managed to come within eight points of beating what is in our mind the best team in the entire Middle Atlantic Conference (Northern and Southern Divisions). With the exception ofime of the weirdest scoring tosses we've ever seen, the Viking offense was useless, but the startling consequence of the game is that the Colonels racked up almost 350 total yards in offensive production, .and yet only managed two meager scores. Coach Rollie Schmidt was not happy, quarterback Greg Snyder was not happy, and tight end George Abraham has felt better about winning. They know they should have done better, and yet, there is no use crying over spilled milk. The Wilkesmen are entering the two most lIIlportant contests of their collegiate careers during the next two weeks, and they do not have any time to look back on what should have been. Instead, they must concentrate on what could be . . . a Middle Atlantic Conference championship. Unlike Up~ala_, Delaware Valley has more talent, more aggressiveness, and more pride m-themselves. They are not going to be beaten easily, and (:;()a~h Schmidt '!ill try to lodge that into his gridders' heads this week . have to do it. The big title game with Albright may be another week a way, but Del Val is intent on making this coming Saturday a nightmare for Wilkes College. There is no title race for the Aggies in 1974, and that's exactly why the Colonels must be up. A team without pressure weighing it down, and only upset on its mind, can many times be a tougher obstacle than a title contender. Ask Notre Dame about Purdue, or any other team which saw its dream of glory muddled by squads they never imagined could even step on the same playing field with themselves. Think about it. / Football Parents . To Sponsor Dinner Again this year the Wilkes Fooitball Parents' Club has planned an Appreciation Dinner for members of the 1974 Colonels grid squad. The affair will be held on Sunday, November 17, beginning at 6 p.m. in the Plains American Legion. . In addition to a fine family-style meal and short program, all members of the squad will be introduced and presented with a gift. And, as in the past, our respected and genial football coach, Rollie Schmidt, will offer some comment. All in all, this Appreciation Dinner provides all of us who are · parents and friends of Wilkes football an opportunity to show our appreciation to a truly great group of young men who give so much for us. Plan now to be present so that the team will see and know that we're proud of them. The Dinner is open to you and to your friends and tickets are available for $6 per person. Reservations can be made and tickets purchased before Novem ber 13 by writing or calling Art Hoover at the Alumni Relations - Student Activities Office, Third Floor of Weckesser Hall. The Colonel cross-eountry team will close out its 1974 season this coming Saturday, when they travel to Fairmont Park in the City of Brotherly Love to participate in the 19th annual Middle Atlantic Conference championships. Coach George Pawlush is sending 10 runners down to the event, with his top six running varsity, and four competing in the junior varisity event. The six Blue and Gold harriers who will attempt to improve the Colonel's 1973 finish of 16th place are Paul Boris, Mark Zavoy, Steve Standiford, Dave Kowalek. Barry Wildoher. and Eel Bosha. · Zavoy, who is the captain of the squad, despite being , only a sophomore, placed 37th in the competition last year with a clocking of 29:19. Coach Pawlush feels that if Mark can improve that time by more than a minute on Saturday, the Coughlin High alumnus may have a chance at finishing among the top 15.

The Blue Jays are undefeated in "Northern Section" competition, while the Colonel's log is marred by that one loss. Biggest problem for coach Rokita this season has been finding a goalie. Don Nardone started the season 1n the nets and looked good .in the season opener, but was injured and has not returned to action. After Nardone, the Colonels utilized Steve Chaldoff as Nardone's replacement, but he too was injured. Then, the third Colonel goalie, Steve Sergi, hurt his arm a few weeks back, and the team was left without an experienced man to guard the nets. Rokita persuaded last year's varsity goalie, Don Mock to come back out for the team, and Donny found himself in the starting lineup last Saturday. But the long layoff was just too much, and the Crusaders notched five scores into the chords. Saturday's contest will mark the end of collegiate soccer careers for six Colonels seniors.

Add J>restige To The Wilkes College Name' The obstac.les in the way of the Colonel gridder's first Middle Atlantic Conference championship in five years has dwindled to only two now, with one of them, the Delaware Valley Aggies traveling to Ralston Field this Saturday afternoon, to take on the Wilkesmen of coach Rollie Schmidt in the third annual Anthracite Bowl. A victory by Wilkes will clinch at least a tie for first place in the MAC, and set the stage for the all-important clash with Albright next week in Reading. The Aggies, 2-5 on the season, are a young team and are still a few years away from being a contender, but they have shown promise and cannot be taken lightly. They are coming off of an 18-7 defeat at the hands of Juniata, and would like nothing better than to rebound with a victory on the Ralston turf Saturday. Use the Veer Operating out of the veer offense, the same used by the Colonels, Del Val is lead by the running of all-MAC halfback Floyd Alderferer, who has picked up 482 yards on the season in 127 carries, for a 3.8 .average. Alderferer was the second leading rusher in the Middle Atlantic Conference " Northern Divison" last season, and broke the Aggie rushing ~ecord last week against Juniata, when he surpassed the 1770 mark. The Aggie attack is led by freshman quarterback Tim Orr, who is made in the same ·mold as former Aggie immortal Jim Foote, who is now playing for the· Houston Oilers of the National Football League. Orr, at 6-3, 190 pounds, has a strong arm, but has completed only 37 of 116 attempts this season, while throwing nine interceptions. His size and power make Orr a very capable runner, giving the Aggies a diversified attack, much like Wilkes. Thus far in '74, Del Val has averaged 130.7 yards a game on the ground, while accumulating 131.5 yards a contest through .the air. _The completion yardage ratio per pass shows the Aggies averaging 25 yards a reception, which · proves the Doylestown squad likes to throw long quite a bit. Working off of play action passes, they try to give their receivers that extra step, and let them outrun the opposing defensive back on quite a few post patterns. . Big "Butterball" Defensively, the Aggies work out of a 4-3 formation, and count "heavily" on tackle Al Bartlebaugh (6-2, 250 ) to clog up the middle and stop the run.

All ; editorializing belongs on page two under the heading and no where else. Through an unfortur,ate delay by the author in getting the artic·le·,to ·us, we were rushed in gefting it to the printer ~~ As a result we inadvertantly placed the article in the paper as it was . We extend our apologies· for this. The tr u th is llOwever, that Student Government r:neetings are ill-attended and there seems to · be a reluctance by S.G. Represen tatives to work together . The fact that I ittle is accomplished is supported by the motion to hold S. G. meetings once every two weeks. It is time that all S.G. representatives and off icia Is get together and try to iron out their problems. · 1f they are ever to get work done, they m1..i'st get together. To the Editor : _ It is time that the Wilkes College administration begins to realize that they are catering to students who have hundreds of other colleges available for them to attend. Sure, Wilkes gives its students an education which is the reason for attending college, but in this day of high prices and declining college enrollments, Wilkes should offer more than just an education for $3,200 a year. It is a fact that many college students own cars. Many of us who do own cars have paid for them and pay car insurance like any faculty member who owns a car. Yet Wilkes officials ask us to leave our cars home. They erected parking gate_s at the the college going to ~aste replacing open for student use, especially for entrance of every parking lot , on broken gates before 1t at least shows us in the New Men's Dorm where campus including the lot right by our an attempt to help its students solve there are no refrigerators available own dormitory and the Jewish lot their parking problem rather than for student use?

BOBBY MCBRIDE Five year~ is a long time, but it will have been worth the wait if the Colonel gridders can down Albright this Saturday and lay sole claim to the Middle Atlantic Conference football championship. • Time was, when this was a yearly possession for the Wilkesmen, but the tide turned at the end of the last decade and the illustrious MAC title trophy has-not rested in the Wilkes award case since 1969. For a minute there last Saturday, it•aJjpeared 1974 would end in utter disaster, but coach Rollie Schmidt's team finally got down to business and cooked the Del Val Aggies 24-14. It took sub quarterback Chuck Suppon to shake the complacencies out of the Colonels, and he did it in heroic proportions. Coming off of the bench in the second half, the Wyoming Valley West grad led the Colonel offense in for two scores; capping his story book -performance with a one yard plunge for the score that put Wilkes irito the lead for good. As the Blue and Gold carried Chuck back to the bench in jubilance and he raised his hands to give the "we're number one" sign, everyone realized how important this Middle Atlantic Conference championship really was to these kids. After two lackluster performances the previous weeks, critics felt this team just didn't want that title. But that comeback performance ~turday proved them wrong. Despite the importance of the Del Val game, it was hard for the team to get"really sky high for the Aggies after seeing that 2-5 win-loss record in print. Rollie told them they were better than that,' but it took one half of a ball game to find out for themselves. At halftime, coach Schmidt didn't give them a repeat of Pat O'Brien's moving locker room speech from ''the Knµte Rockne Story." He just concentrated on correcting the malfunctions ir. the Colonel defense. Schmidt felt he didn't have to kick this team in the head to make them realize what was on the line. They hadn't wasted pounds of sweat and even a few drops of blood on that gridiron since mid-August for nothing. Getting up mentally for that second crucial half of play would have to come from within each and every man on that team. An(,i. the results speak for themselves. We know it's probably repetitious to keep yapping about the family atmosphere on Wilkes College athletic teams, but it's true. The wrestlers were the most significant possessors of this unique quality in today's sports, but the basketball squad is also very close. And now, with that chafnpionship ever so close, the situation presents itself on the football team, and it could be a very important factor. Sure there have been a few scenes of temperament by some of the players. You just don't bump heads day in and day out and not get peeved at each other once in a while. But on the whole, these kids are close. Why, you ask? It's simple. Wilkes College is not a football factory. Probably none of the Colonels will ever go on to play pro ball. Winning isn't a do or die effort. Instead of making a business out of college football, Wil~es has kept it a sport, where winning is a matter of pride; pride in yourself, and pride in your team. That pride is a personal emotion, which emits itself time and time again. And for the Wilkesmen, it's the pride of succeeding as a team and not as an individual. Tli.ere are no $100,000 contracts waiting to be signed by these boys. The only reward is congratulations from their teammates and fans, dnd many times that can be worth much more than money. And winning that MAC title will earn the Colonels myriads of congratulations and respect in addition to a trophy which says in effect: we are the best. · COLONEL COACHING STAFF-Much of the credit for producing a winning football team must go to the) As the song goes: " It's been a long time baby."

It has been five long years since the Colonels last captured the MAC crown, but a victory Saturday will put an end to that drought. A loss to the Lions will enable Albright and Juniata to share the diadem with thr Blue and Gold. Running out of a "wishbone offense," Albright is 6-2 on the year, but is coming off of a surprising 33-6 defeat at the hands of Lebanon Valley. It has been nine years since the Lions and the Colonels have clashed on the gridiron, and ironically, that last meeting determined the MAC champ that year, also with Wilkes pulverizing Albright 37-7 to give them their first title in history. The Blue and Gold went on to win four more MAC crowns, but have not turned the trick since 1969. Only other meeting between the two institutions was in 1964, with the RUNNING FOR HIS LIFE-Delaware Valley's quarterback, Tim Orr is shown here being pursued by a Lions prevailing 48-14. number of Wilkes defenders in action from last week's contest, which the Colonels won 24-14.

The Albright offense uses their fullback on dive plays occasionally, but basically they utilize their two speedsters .to the outside. Last week, Lebanon Valley shifted into a 6-2 defense and successfully stifled the Lion wishbone. They contained the option, and time and time again had Albright pinned against the wall. Weak Defense Defensively, the Lions are weak. They have counted on their high scor~ng offense to win ball games, and have had trouble containing.the weakest of teams. While their defense against the rush is not bad, they are very susceptible to the aerial, and victory may hinge on signal caller Greg Snyder's arm. The Colonel defense is well adept to contain the Albright "wishbone," with ends Don Kulick and Lou Maczuga both possessing the great lateral pursuit to stop the running offense. The big key to stopping Albright however, will rest on the Blue and Gold outside linebackers, who will have to keep the Lion halfbacks from turning the corner and heading up field. If they can do that, and the Wilkes offense can put at least three score~ on the board, there will be no joy in Reading Saturday. GRIDIRON TIDBITS: Saturday's contest · will be for the "Pretzel Bowl." • Albright's Kevin Daniels Paces MAC In Rushing during their four years of service. Albright's speedy halfback Kevin Daniels is pacing the league in rushing with 511 yards on 60 carries for 8.5 average. Trailing Daniels is Delaware Valley's Floyd .Alderfer with 488 yards on 122 carries. Mike Buterbaugh, the outstanding quarterback from Susquehanna University leads the MAC in total offensive production as well as passing: He has been completing nearly sixty per cent of his aerials, and can also run when it is l}ecessary. Leading in both the pass receiving and scoring categories is Juniata's premier end, Pete Lentini. Lentini has caught 23 aerials in six games for 561 yards, and has crossed the goal line on eight occasions for 48 points. With a fine day against the Aggies last weekend, Wilkes' Donny McDermott has moved within .3 of a yard of surpassing Susquehanna's Pete Rambo for the MAC lead in punting. Rambo is averaging 37.7 yards a boom, while Donny has a 37.4 average. • � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
