Throughout t~e country grades are on the uprise. Cumulative averages are higher than ever before, and people are questioning this grade inflation. Our problem here at Wilkes is different than the one at most schools. Our average grades have risen over the past two semesters but the rise is insignificilnt in. comparison to other schools. This is the root of the problem. We feel that the quality of education at Wilkes is just as good, if not better, than the quality of education offered at schools with lower grade standards. A 2 in a particular course here may be the equivalent of a 3 in a similar course at another school. Many teachers consider a 2 to be an acceptable average grade but to students it is often not enough. To get into graduate school or to face the job market a high cum is very i mportant. A Wilkes student with a 2.6 may have better qua I if i cations and a better educational background than a student with a 3.2 from another school with a lower quality education. But the one with the 3.2 cum has a better chance of getting that sought-after job because of what's actually on "the record." We feel that teachers should evaluate students on the basis of their work. But we feel that good marks are harder to get here than at many other schools. A teacher shouldn't have to worry about giving too many A's or too many C's, but the fact remains that -the former could lower our standards and the latter could hurt student marketability. The system is a bundle of contradictions. There doesn't seem to be an answer. We do advocate an honest evaluation of the student's achievement. Above all things, the grading system must remain fair. At the same time there should be a way to equate standards set up by all colleges so a particular grade at one would be the same for all. ( Credits are transferrable but cumulative averages are not). We feel that we have the better quality education, but will we have a chance to prove it? Or will we have to make. a choice_between sacrificing quality education and high stand~rds or jeopardizing the student's future? What's the answer? , ,_ To the Editor: Following is a slightly touched-up excerpt from a letter I recently wrote to a friend about college life, and things in general.

Summer Russian Seminar Scheduled In Leningrad I i~ �November 21, 1974 THE BEACON Facu Forum TheBY DR. Food Crisis CHARLES REIF Chairman, Department of Biology The BEACON has asked that I write a few words on the "food crisis" and \ . at the risk of sounding like a broken record I am pleased to do so. However, .. the food crisis is only part of the status quo; perhaps environmental crisis is better. Food is the source of energy for animals and so food is part of the 1 energy crisis. Only plants can satisfy their nutritional needs with inorganic supplies; animals unfortunately must depend on the efforts of plants and other animals to supply their food. Ever since animals were invented various populations of animals have been on short rations. Food crises have been part of the picture for half a billion years. Human history has been marked by starvation of peoples whose local situations have been unfavorable . What is different today is that the human species has • exceeded the carrying capacity of Mother Earth. Populational density-dependent factors of the environment in operation today for the first time are the bases of social interactions which are new in human history. If the situation which exists today ever imroves, millions of human beings will have died from starvation or attendant diseases. If the situation is ever ::orrected, the human species will then have discovered some way, humanely acceptable, to reduce its population, and will never again allow the number of people living at any one time to exce ' d the carrying capacity of Earth. Many ecological facts relate to the environmental crisis. Nature does not value individuals. Nature does not guarantee rights to any individual or any species, family, class, or phylum.

Webster II finished the regular season as champion in the West, with Butler the runnerup. Butler lost only one game during the season and that was a 30-18 defeat at the hands of this very Webster II unit. Butler House totally surprised the Eastern Division champion Rams on Monday afternoon, running over them 19-0, to end the Rams aspirations for the IM crown. The Rams seemed to be getting it together offensively the initial drive of the game, but an interception by a Butler linebacker gave them the ball on the Ram thirty yard line. Two plays later, Butler quarterback Dave Orischak surprised everyone including the Ram defense, and bootlegged around right end for ten yards and the score. The extra .point attempt was good. The Rams came back on the passing of quarterback Rich Cronauer to Bill Kalish, but their drive was halted 20 yards short of a score, and Butler took over. · The score stood Butler, 7-0 at the half. Butler took the second half kickoff and started moving again. A pair of penalties against the Ram defense aided the cause, and with ten minutes left in the contest, Orischak took it up the middle for a 15 yard score, to practically put the game out of reach ,, f/OW tT'S YO\)~ TURN" for the Rams. With eight minutes remaining, a Butler defender pick~d off another Cronauer pass, and from there, it was Just a matter of time. Keeping it on the ground for a while, Butler still managed another pair of first downs, and with the help of a personal foul call on the Rams with three minutes remaining, Butler had a first down on the four yard line. With the Ram defense looking for the run Orischak mixed them up and found tight end Stev~ Coleman crossing over the middle for the final Butler score. Orischak's scrambling ability enabled him to keep the Rams at bay all afternoon, as he completed nearly 80 per cent of his passes. Roosevelt game it everything they had on Tuesday afternoon, but it just wasn't quite enough as they lost to powerful Webster II, 6-0. Webster II wasted little time getting their first and only score, with quarterback Billy Winter scampering 35-yards for the deciding tally in the first six minutes of play. After that, it was just a matter of stopping the heralded Roosevelt offense. Bob Armstrong, the · Roosevelt back who broke away for a touchdown on Friday against the Purple Gang to put his team in the playoffs, was shut off completely and Roosevelt was forced to go to the air. There also, Webster II played flawlessly, and it was a Vinnie Krill interception that killed Roosevelt's only serious drive of the day, late in the first h::ilf.

BY PAUL DOMOWITCH VICTORY IS SWEET-Colonel co-captains Bill Horan and Terry Blaum are shown here holding the trophy emblamatic of winning the Pretzel Bowl last Saturday in Reading. The victory also gave Wilkes their first MAC title in five years. Sunday evening's Football Parent's Club Appreciation Dinner at the Plains American Legion marked the official conclusion of Wilkes College's version of "That Championship Season." Mixed with proportions of both success and misfortune, 1974 turned out to be quite a year for the Colonels. Since mid-August these kids have been after an MAC ·championship, and Saturday afternoon marked the end of that quest. For many, it was a frustrating season however, despite the team's first title in five years. Take Bill Horan. Billy, the Colonel co-captain along with Terry Blaum started out this season with aspirations of becoming the greatest pass receiver to ever wear a Colonel uniform. But as in the past, Horan was plagued with injuries, and caught only one pass all season. Being part of a championship team is a magnificent feeling, but for someone like Billy, who possesses outstanding talent and could 'have made a good team better, watching from the sidelines in "civilian clothes" is an unexplainable torture. Nine weeks have dwindled by so quickly. Had the Colonels been losing instead of winning, those nine weeks may have seemed like nine years. But victory has a habit of making the days &eem like hours. It all started on September 21, when Wilkes took the field on a cloudy Saturday afternoon to take on powerful C. W. Post. Optimism on the .Blue and Gold was high, because of the knowledge that Post's AU.American · quarterback Eddie Powers had been injured the previous week against Western Kentucky, and would not see action against the Schmidtmen. But that optimism soon fluctuated as Post put a pair of quick scores on the board to go out in front. By the second half, rain came down in buckets, and with the precipitation seemed to go the Colonel fortunes. Final_ score: 44-6, Post. CAGE SENIORS-The experience of these four Colonel seniors will play an important role in the success of the Blue and Gold cagers this season. From left to right are: Greg Buzinski, Steve Ference, Rich Miscavage and Clarence Ozgo. · Colonel. Cagers Eyeine First Conference Title Head coach Rodger Bearde feels it.

It is a new found sense of pride and confidence, which worked its way onto the Colonels a little more than eight months ago, when they realized that they could win, and win consistently. They finished the season with a spectacular 19-6 record, the best in the college's history, but one element was lacking.

(Con tinued on Page 9) Apparently, "The Family Educational Rights and Privacy- Act of 1974" or the Buckley Act, has caused - minimal concern among Wilkes students, according to Doris Barker, Registrar and George Ralston, Dean of Student Affairs. The Act gives to the college student the right of access to the student's college record. Mrs. Barker r eported, since November 19 of this year, when the Act took affect, only 3 students had questioned to see their files, in which -the college is allowed under law, a 45 day period to gather such records. Ralston expects the student interest to increase when more students . become aware of this right and hopes for the most part students will employ common sense concerning their personal files. The passage of this act not only pertains to students but to people involved in industry and to other concerns where personnel administration occurs. Ralston ·admitted that he thought the people who wrote the Act did not use much sense, that the Act was hastily drawn up, and was not properly scrutinized by enough professio nal people. More over he states , the Act " ac complished nothing at all". Since November 19-many colleges and universities have '' cleaned house" of student personnel records. · Stolen Goods From Dorm Total $1500 Ralston went on to say in the 45--day period, ·personal comments · could easily, although illegally, be erased, but said he himself has not altered one file. He said, "I've always tried to 'be as open as possible , with students and if they wish to see th~ir record, the college will comply_" . This will also, as Rafston explained, create careful objectivity on the part of high school teachers who might not be able to write honest appraisals without receiving feedback from a student. The Dean of Student Affairs, feels students who wish to view their files will be the ones in a highly competitive situation that have been unsuccessful in achieving some goal.· Assistant Dean of Men Edward Baltruchitis thinks this law· will be effective in that it will ·make the people who do evaluations more accountable in stating fact, and objective. At the same time he is disturbed that the act doesn't provide for measures to keep the information prior to November . 19 confidential, as the transcribers of such material were under the assumption that all records were to be kept confidential. He explained that Wilkes will cooper ate with the following guidelines: · 1) Tne college will establish procedures to view records 2) The college will establish proce<lures for students to _challenge remarks on their record 3) This law will appear in the · student handbook Baltruchitis stated he no longer maintains personal comments as they serve little use and are strictly for internal purposes. He feels that in about 10 years all criteria for admissions, such as rank, test scores, and comments, will be eliminated as admissions will be made on an open college system basis.

Crime is now becoming a problem at Wilkes College. It has long been a problem on other campuses, but until this year it has not been a great one here. That is changing. This past year has seen vandalism and theft occurriing more often. The destruction of Hom.ecom ing displays, the theft of minor ar:ticles; and now the theft at Denison Hall are all exampl es of the problem. We must all act if we are to stop such things from occurrir).9. The security men alone can not stop it from happening. We must all do our part in fighting crime. Make sure you lock your dormitory room or your car, don't leave your possessions unguarded in public areas, and report any vandalism or thefts you see. Holiday. Greetings The BEACON would like to take this opportunity to wish all of its readers a happy holiday season and the best.of everything in the coming year. Th is -past year has seen many developments at Wilkes College. The change in direction of Student Government, the excellent work of Commuter Council, and the program of entertainment set up by the Concert and Lecture Series Com·mittee are just a few of the good things at Wilkes. The year also brought bad things with it. The death of Samuel Rosenberg is one of these losses to the college. The next year should be an interesting one. We all look forward to the opening of the lecture hall in SLC and to any further expansion plans of the college. The social scene at Wilkes also shows hopes of improving. So, en joy your vacation and see you next semester. Beaeon Ed itor in Chief . .. .. ·.. ... .. . .. . .. .. . . . . .. . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . .

Broken windows, damaged phones, smashed glass doors, hurned carpets, graffiti , torn upholstered furniture and draperies, stolen fire extinguishers - these are just examples of damages occurring daily at Wilkes that account for approximately a $12,000 yearly expense. One of the most perplexing problems on all college campuses is how to deal effectively with malicious destruction, damage, and loss in residence · halls. As colleges fall into the misfortune of traditionally accepting these problems as a way of life, large amounts of money are being spent to repair unnecessary damages. This does not have to be a way of life, especially at Wilkes. As damage costs increase, the only logical solution will have to come through total cooperation among the Wilkes administration, students, and maintenance personnel. Administrators must be constantly striving to find out what is wrong with our buildings and then follow up with improvements if warranted. As an . administrator in the Housing Office, I feel that I should involve students by •incorporating their input into a plan to reduce damage problems and improve our campus environment. Such a plan has been adopted by the Inter Dormitory Council and hopefully will prove to be successful. Maintenance personnel can also play an important role by continuing to keep the buildings in good condition. Unrepaired damage fosters more damage. The best way to create frustrations and further damage is to wait until the end of the year to make repairs. Presently, the maintenance personnel spend the majority of their time repairing urinecessary damages that are occurring daily in campus buildings. The time and money spent on these tasks could and should be spent by making improvements and providing daily upkeep instead of just making repeated repairs . Students often complain about the ineffectiveness of the maintenance personnel at Wilkes. It is true that sufficient maintenance is a necessity. However , it must be remembered that it is impossible to provide adequate upkeep for 700 dorm students and approximately 1500 commuting students who like to use campus facilities, if students act irresponsibly and without regard for college property and fellow students. Although some residents feel that they are just having fun, damaging and defacing college property does not represent behavior which is conducive to community living. · It is obvious that student life in a dorm is directly conditioned by the way in which students live in that hall. I feel safe in writing that the majority of Wilkes students expect that their living environment will provide them the opportunity to pursue their commitments to their own self-advancement. Such a climate can only be obtained if all Wilkes students learn to respect each others property as well as college,property. Through this article I am appealing to all Wilkes students to examine his or her personal conduct, general attitude and level of cooperation regarding damages involving Wilkes College property. I am also equally appealing to the administration to listen to student complaints and involve these students in the decision making process as we strive to make Wilkes a better place to live. If we all work together as one community toward improving the atmosphere both in residence halls and on the campus, I am convinced that there will be an improvement of student life in general at Wilkes College. -------,-----· -r,1E!1\~ 'i C}Hh5 r m :q 5 td ~·~ HOLY CROSS FATHERS Infant Schools are a brand new market because approximately 50 per cent of the young mothers in the nation are working.

Concern Sports .Chatter They'say better late than never, but 2-MONTHS LATER? You bet. At the conclusion of the Colonel's very successful 1974 football season, which saw Wilkes capture their first Middle Atlantic Conference championship in five years, six of the team's gridders were given the auspicious honor of being selected all-conference. Mistakingly overslighted by this writer at that time, we would like them to take their bows now. There was only one repeater on the MAC "elite" 22, and that was the talented cornerback of the Blue and Gold, Freddy Marianacci. Marianacci, only a junior, is closing in on the Wilkes pass interception mark during a career, and should break it next season. The five newcomers to all-star honors are team co-captain and cornerbck Terry Blaum, linebacker Steve Leskiw, defensive end Lou Maczuga , offensive guard Frank Wengen, and fullback Fred Lohman. Gentlemen, congratulations. And that's not all. Head coach Rollie Schmidt, who did such a tremendous job guiding the Colonel's to the MAC diadem, was selected by his coaching peers as the 1974 recipient of the Middle Atlantic Conference "coach of the year" award. An honor such as this for one of the outstanding small-college coaches in the country has been a long time in coming; perhaps too long. Wilkes Open Notes It was a very disappointing semester break for the Wilkes College wrestling team. Participating in their own Wilkes Open tournament, the Blue and Gold grapplers fini&iled a dismal fourth, behind the championship Clarion State College squad, the New York Athletic Club and Delaware. It was the worst finish for the Wilkesmen at the Open in almost a decade. However, lanky 142 pound sophomore Mike Kassab gave Colonel fans something to cheer about, when he captured an individual title. His win in the finals came over Lock Haven State's Gary Walk, 6-3. Mike's route to the title looked like this : first round-decisioned Hughes of Slippery Rock, 6-1; quarterfinals-decisioned Young of Buffalo, 5-1; semi-finals-pinned Spencer of New York Athletic Club in 4:55; and finals-decisioned Walk, 6-3. The Colonel's defending national champ at 134 pounds, John Chakmakas, met with problems in the semi's, and never reacn,ed the championship round. West Chester State's Bill Racich fought back for a last minute takedown in regulation time to tie the bout, and then went to work on John in overtime, to beat him 9-3. Down but not out, Chak battled back to capture third, pounding Lock Haven's Ben Shipman 12-3 in the final consolation round. Gene Ashley had tp.e misfortune of meeting Syracuse's Ken Wilson in the quarterfinals, and came out on the short end of a 5-4 decision. Wilson placed third in last year's Eastern's. (Against Syracuse last Saturday in a dual meet, Ashley and Wilson drew). _ _ Heavyweight Al Scharer seemed to have finally found himself in the early rounds of the Open, but the quarterfinals loomed as his last stand as well. Charlie Wright of Buffalo, who finished second to Walter Grote of NY AC, nipped Big Al 51,_ the id_entical score that, sidelined Ashley. Two,two,two The win over the Montclair State wrestlers last week meant just a little bit more than usual for Colonel coach John Reese, who notched his 200th victory as a collegiate mentor. It's been an uphill struggle for Reese, since coming to Wilkes College 22 years ago. He took an almost non-existant wrestling program, and in two decades, has made it one of the most respected and powerful in the nation. You know, isn't it strange how things come in pairs? Two hundred victories, and possibly two straight national championships. It has a gFeat ring to it. MAC Northern Division Cage Standings W L 3 0 2 0 El izabethtown Upsala 3 Wagner 2 Ph i lf'.

Home Opener On Saturday For Mermen r--------------------------, BY MARIANNE MONTAGUE Wilkes swimmers face Philadelphia Textile in their first home meet of the season on Saturday afternoon at four o'clock at the Wilkes-Barre Aquadome. The Wilkes mermen have been successful in their last several encounters with the Textile team and are also optimistic about this one. Despite losses to Trenton State, Ursinus, and Lock Haven, the young Wilkes team is consistently improving and is anxious to add to their win column. The team set two new school · records at the December Lock · Haven meet. Rick Marchant, Garry Taroli, Jeff Jones and Ron Sweeda clocked a 3: 44.83 in the 400 free relay event. This broke the record of 3:48 set by -Marchant. Doug Mason, Ban:y Rasmussen, and Jeff Giberson in 1971. Freshman stand-out Ron Sweeda 's time of 2:24.75 gave him the record in the 200-yard backstroke event. The Wyoming Seminary grad topped the time of 2:27 set by Jim Phethean in 1967. Sweeda is one of the leading scorers for the team . He holds three second place awards for the 200 yard backstroke and two third place awards for the 200 yard individual medley. After Saturday's confrontation with Philadelphia Textile the team will face Widener, February 1, home; Lycoming, February 8, away: Binghamton State, February 12, home: Kutztown State, l<'ebruary 15, away : and Elizabethtown, February 22, home.

The Gallery Director, Assistant Professor Vivian Guyler and Assistant Professor Bernice D'Vorzon from the Art Department travelled to New York and selected thirty-five prints from the "Robert Blackburn Graphic Printmaking Workshop." Ths "Printmaking Workshop, In.," was founded in 1949 by its present director, painter-printer, Robert Blackburn. In the 1940's in New York William Stanley Hayter ( of "Atelier 17'' fame) and Robert Blackburn were responsible for the renaissance of interest in printmaking in the United States. Both · opened graphic workshops in New York City, Hayter 's internationally etching studio and Blackburn's lithography workshop.

Robert Blackburn in his own right is a well-known lithographer who has printed work for well-known artists and has taught lithography at many major institutions including Prat.t Institute, Cooper Union, Columbia and New York Universities. The prints on exhibition at the Sordoni Art Gallery were made by noted contemporary graphic artists who used the facilities at the "Hobert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop." All media are included i• this exhibit. In addition there is a large diversity of style, size , combinations, experiments, tradilional prints and the very latest advances which should appeal to a great variety of tastes.

In the " A" Division, Webster House and Colonels A hold a share of the top spot in t)le early going, with 2-0 logs. The Basketball Busters, and USUC II are the other two unbeatens in "'A" with 1-0 records. The " B" Division, with a record 20 teams vying for championship honors, have seven unbeaten squads thus far, with Slocwn A, SPCH, Slocum B, Priapus all 2-0, and Smokey's Bears, Space Raiders, and Sons of Softee all having one win a iece.

Four men hit Rodger Bearde: Realizin A Dream Wilkes Mentor Has Turned B-ball Program Around He expects perfection and yet he is patient enough to wait for it. He is an intense and hard driving individual, and yet he knows when to let up. And he is the best basketball coach Wilkes College has ever had. Hodger Bearde, in the fow· years that he has been at Wilkes, has turned the basketball program right around herr. A half decade ago, finishing among the top six in the Middle Atlantic Conference "Northern Division" would have been thought of as immense success. But now, only one thing matters, and that is the MAC title. A possession, which the Colonel cagers, in their almost 30 year existence, have never had. The resurgence of Colonel basketball has grown with a quartet of people who came to this campus four years ago. Along with Bearde, tri-captains Clat>ence··Ozgo, Greg Buzinski, and Steve Ference also matriculated here in that iio'w memorable year of 1971. Although, it wasn 't exactly love at first sigliC: Bearde saw a realizatwn in this trio: a realization that may take four ye~!"-~ ~o _upfold, but would pay off in the end. Made The Playoffs Notice For the second consecutive year, the Wilkes College Intra-mural Program will hold a 2-on-2 tournament. The competition is open to all Wilkes students, and interested persons are a sked to submit their names with Joe Skuarla in Weckesser Annex as soon as possible. 'O' Closing In (Continued From Page 8) . ing week, when he is expected to surpass the 1,000 point career scoring mark. " O" needed 46 points going into last night's Albright tilt, and so it is still questionable whether he will do it in front of the home fans. If he continues at his usual scoring pace, it could occur either at Susquehanna on February 5, or at home on February 8, against Moravian. In another week, the Middle Atlantic Conference title picture will be a lot clearer, and observers can speculate what contests the Colonels need to win. But Coach Rodger Bearde has an easier method of clearing up things; win them all. And step nwnber one in that climb comes Saturday. , Bliildil'lg around these three, the Colonels under the direction of the active Bearde, struggled near the .500 mark for the first two seasons, ml:iking· the MAC playoffs that second camaign, but quickly losing in the post-season tourney. Last year however, the first part of that realization came true, as Bearde's boys went on to register the best record in the history of the sport at the school. Many observers close to the basketball program at Wilkes were not at all sure Bearde would be returning to fulfill the rest of that realization. It was no secret that in Bearde, they had one of the finest young college mentors in the East, and it would only be a matter of time before bigger schools began offering Hodger bigger money, . and a more reassuring future . But they forg{)t one thing. He had spent three years bringing Ozgo, Buzinski, and Ference along, priming them for a championship, and there was no way that he was going to leave them now -)µs~,short of reality. double figures for Smokey's, paced by Ray Ostroski's 18, and Larry Gurnari's 17. Mark Jarolen and Bob Smolko were the other double digit talliers for Smokey's, with 12 and 11 respectively. . Dombroski had 14, and Vinnie Krill 12 for Gore. In a very defensively keyed ballgame, the Vet's Club edged the Roosevelt Roughriders 39-38 behind Tom Rovinski's 16 points. Bob Balfour's 16 tallies paced the Roughriders. In the final clash of the week, Priapus House turned it on in the second half and won going away over Ashley 68-45. Eiden's 21 points, Harned's 14, and Delensky's 10 sparked the Priapus offense.

SPORTS CAGERS ARE MOVING:: *** *** *** KASSAB RETURNS TO WILKES LINEUP 'Super Soph' Ready To Go After .L ayoff If you visit a fe w of the local hospitals this week, you'll discover something a bit unusual. Not very many members of the Colonel wrestling team are there. That's right. For the first 1ime since the 1974-75 season began, coach John Reese •is looking at an almost entirely healthy team, as the waning weeks of the regular season go quickly by. With Jim Weisenfluh hopefully back in the starting lineup for good, he is expected to be joined by teammate Mike Kassab either last night against Elizabethtown, or this coming Saturday vs. Lycoming. "Mike 's ankle injury was not as serious as his absence from the lineup would indicate, " stated Reese, " but l wanted it to heal completely before he wrestled on it. " I do not want him going into the tournaments at les& than 100 per cent." Battle At 118 With the influx of healthy grapplers, Heese must now begin choosing his tournament team, and that in itself is going to prove very interesting. At 118, both Roy Preefe, and !<'rank Stal,latella are involved in a heated battle for the starting spot. Stellatella is the stronger of the two, but Preefer has come on strong lately, and is uridefoated in dual competition this year. Everytime the pair have eliminat-· ed, the scoring difference has never been more than one or two points. "Roy really gives Frank a battle, when they tangle," agreed Reese. "But Roy seems to tighten up in actual competition. Needless to say, the Blue and Gold mentor made that staler.1ent before Preefer's latest surge of victories. At 142 and 150 pounds, there are four Colonels vying for starting spots. Mike Kassab obviously has 142 nailed down, unless Reese has to move him up out of necessity. But Casper Tortella, Davie Ellis, and Bruce Lear all have a chance at the remaining weight class. Ellis, who was unbeaten in dual competition two years ago as a freshman, missed all of last season, and the firs t semester of this season with a nose injury. This period of inactivity will be a definite disadvantage for him as- he struggles to break into the starting ten. Lear has seen limited action this season, and judging from what we've seen of Tortella, Casper probably will be the Colonel's 150-pounder in the tournaments, unless the injured Warren Stumpf manages to come back. But that is very doubtful. -DO MO WITCH- 'O' Closing In On 1,000 As Ballclub Catches Fire BY PAUL DOMOWITCH It has taken nearly a half of a season, but the Colonel cagers have finally gotten it all together. Exactly when the magic moment occurred is disputable. Many feel the win over Juniata set the wheels in motion, while others claim the spark became lit in the consolation game of the Pocono Cage Classic against American International, which the Wilkesmen won 78-76. . Coach Rodger Bearde has his own opinion. "I think we turned it around the second half of the Rider game," he said with a victory smile on his ,,, face." We were down b.y 17 in that in the league are extremely game, and fought our way back physical, and do not lose often at home. However, the Blue and Gold within five before losing. In my opinion, that was the turning point seem to have reached their full potential, and will pull out all stops for these kids." in their quest for the crown. WHEN is happened really doesn't Forward Jack Brabant has played matter though. The fact is that it the past two games with a foot DID happen. And while the Colonels injury, and his status for Saturday's seem to have put it together, a twist game is questionable.

OF GREETING CARDS 717-822-7151 486 HAZLE ST. WILKES-BARRE By Paul Domowitch I They Feed On Greed The story is the same all over. The names just vary with each individual case. The name of the story is the Corruption in College Athletics, and its setting is everywhere and anywhere that the importance of winning, and the avarice of greed override the real meaning of college sports. Last week, another chapter of the book on corruption was written out of Seton Hall University, when Glen Mosely, the star and the nation's leading Tebounder of the Seton Hall basketball team, along with his coach, assistant coach, and Seton Hall's athletic director were suspended for illegal recruitment violations. According to NCAA rulings, an athlete must have a C average in high school to participate in sports.his freshman year on the collegient level, or he is to sit out. Mosely did not have a C average and now a sophomore, has been an active participant in sports since his freshman year. • There was one twist to thi,s story however. The NCAA special investigators, who usually uncover this type of illegal activity, were not the arresters this time. Instead the school administrators themselves found out about it, and took immediate action to rectify the situation as best as was possible. · It's all becoming one hell of a horrible mess. Transcript tampering, recruiting violations, money being taken by the millions under the table, administrators looking the other way to head coach's underhanded activities. There are other little "tricks" also. Athletes carrying minimal credits so they can concentrate on sports, padded course arn:ngements, and many more. .·· And for what? What would make institutions sink so low as to break age old rules and regulations ? For what reason would they put their good reputations, and the reputations of the college's they represent on the line ? The answer: greed. Top grade athletes like Seton Hall's Mosely can plunge a college's athletic program into the so-called "big time, " and once there, the prestige and the financial bonuses of television exposure, bowl and tournament appearances, and national acclaim are limitless. But to get an athlete of Mosely's type (great on a basketball court, but couldn't think his way out of a paper bag), often involves unethical doing, and being unethical, you leave vou,rself wide open for attack. How important is the money factor? Look at Penn State and Pittsburgh, who next season are withdrawing from the prestigious Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC). Why? For the money, wt;u, else? As a member of the ECAC, they are forced to share a percentage of the money they receive from television appearances, and bowl games, and tournies, etc. As independents, they will get it all, and that's all that matters to money hungry "college machines" such as State and Pitt. Why are we mentioning this now you ask? Simply this. Next season, the Wilkes wrestling team themselves head up to the big tune, when they go Division I, and enter the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association. And the pressures that go with being "big time" are far reaching. Winning becomes an even more important item than it does now, and turning your back to the activities of one of your top athletes, who may be doing anything from stealing 'a comb in a five and dime to pushing drugs, can becomeanhabitualoccurence . Here 's hoping that the reputation and integrity of our own athletic program does not become decayed by the pressures of "winning at any cost," as we make the move up with the Oklahoma's and the N.C.

It was a tough night for the Colonel's, who had reeled off foirr stra1gl!.L wins going inio the Upsala contest, and were sky-high for this game, the one that could have assured them a spot in the plavoffs, and have !!ivP.n them a very realistic opportunity to win the regular season championship of the Middle Atlantic Conference " Northern Division. " With victory escaping their grasp several times during the game, the Wilkesmen were naturally disappointed following the heartbreaking defeat, but Bearde would not let his team sulk. In the New Jersey lockerroom, minutes after the Vikings had pulled it out against his team before a sparse home crowd, the head mentor told his troops, "we can't die right here." We played a hell of a game at times, and lost. And now we have to come right back." And come right back they must. With several non-MAC encounters WORKING FOR THE PIN- is the Colonel's 126-pounder Lon Balum, who is shown here in action agai!1s_t . ahead in the next few weeks, Elizabethtown College's Eric Mast. Balum received no nearfall points for this move, and lost to the defendmg including one against Madison F DU, national champ, 14-12 in the final minute of action. Colonels Looking For 9th In A Row Hofstra Coming To Town Saturday With eight straight victories under their belt, 'the Blue and Gold wrestlers will attempt ~o m:> i<e it win number nine Saturday night, when they play host to the Flying Dutchmen of Hofstra University. The pieces seemingly are starting to fit into place for coach John Reese 's team, as post-season tournament time looms just around the corner. Going into last night's clash with York College, Wilkes had lost only three individual bouts in their last five dual encounters, which included crushing victories over Delaware Valley, Massachusetts University, - Oswego St., Elizabethtown, and Lycoming. 118-pound sophomore Roy Preefer, and 142-pound freshman Casper Tortella have been regular starters since the start of second semester action, and have responded to the call with a 14-0 log between them. As the tournaments approach however, Preefer will have to fend off strong first year man Frank Stellatella for the right to compe te in the post-season action, and Tortella will most likely move up a weight -to 150 for the MAC confab and the NCAA's, allowing the talented sophomore Mike Kassab to drop down a weight cl,iss. Saturday evening 's clash with the Dutchmen of ninth year coach Bob Getchell should provide a great deal of excitemen t, with several of the bouts expected to be close. Hosftra has two Middle Atlantic Conference University-Division (now defunct ) champions returning to the fold this campaign, a nd four runnerups as well. One of those returning champions is junior heavyweight Don Mayorga. Mayorga is considered one of the best unlimited wrestlers in the country this season, .~·-_._,;•_. _:.... ... .•..-:·: .•·:=.·········.->.❖.•.················. :::< .::.:.:.:_:_ :-:.:_:_:_._:_:_:_:_::.:: I and was . tentatively scheduled to wrestle in the East-West all star meet at Clarion St. College this past Monday . The Colonel's Al Scharer, despite being a returning second place finisher in last annum's Division Ill nationals will be a decided underdog in this bout, and a victory over Mayorga would be quite a feather in Al's cap. Another particularly fine matchup is in the offing at 167 pounds, where the Colonel 's Jim Weisenfluh will tangle with apother MAC champ, Jim McDuffie. Weisenfluh, who ,has not lost since being pinned in the Syracuse match, January 18, had his pin streak stopped at four last Satw·day, when he was forced to go the full eight minutes against his Lycoming foe. Confidence is a funny thing in sports. You can have it one minute, and lose it the next. And when Blue and Gold 126-pounder Lonny Balum blew a five point lead against Eric Mast in the E-town meet a week back, his confidence could have left him right there . But against Lycoming, Balum came right back with a pin against his opponent. On Saturday, Lon's foe will be Flying Dutchmen lightweight Nick Gallo, in a battle of " super sophs. " The Gallo-Balum matchup could turn out to be one of the best contests of the night. Both- were 14-3 in dual matches as freshmen a year ago, and Gallo was a runner-up in the National Junior Championships at Missoula, Montana this past summer. He is -being touted by the school's sports information office as a possible NCAA title contender. -Domowitch- Lewis And Ko wale k •·---··: --..,•••:❖:.:.:•••:.:••••.•=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=•.::..: : .· · -.- · --- ·•···•·.....,.&:.:••••.•.•.•.•.• 0:: , Spirit Of Swim Team Ref lected In Duo The Wilkes College swim team you, add to this the facts that some_ as there are day students and their took on a new look tµis year.

" Two years ago, we backed our way into the playoffs, waiting to see who would lose. Last year however ," he stated, with a gleam of a smile cracking his serious facial features, "we earned our way in, and we are going to do ·exactly that this year as well. " "We have as much talent as any team in our conference, and are capable of winning it all this year ." Once again in the Upsala contest, Frank Britt came off of the bench to do a superb job, as he grabbed four rebounds and six points in a reserve role. And, as it has in the past five games, the defense excelled. "With the exception of a few lapses; " Bearde said, " we played well defensively against them. We were especially successful in shutting off their fast break, and held our own off the boards, despite being a much smaller team." . .. " What hutt us," he explained, "was the poor shooting night we experienced. We hit on something like 21 of 74, and you,can 't win ball games at that kind of shooting clip. "Furthermore," he added, " a lot of shots were going in and out for us. It just wasn't our night." With a little over two minute~ remaining however, Wilkes had an opportunity to make it their night after all. With the score tied, Bearde decided to stall and work for the last shot. They kept the ball away · from the Vikings, until ·with only eight seconds remaining , the Colonels called time out. 11 I BY MARIANNE MONTAGUE - -----------who leads the country in offense, the Beardemen have a most crucial tilt with MAC leader Scranton on February 18, right here on the Colonel hardwoods. The Wilkes team earned themselves a spot in last season's conference playoffs with a win over their Northern neighbors, and can do the same thi!< year in front of what is expected to be one of the biggest crowds to ever watch a Colonel cage contest. No Last Shot Working against the tall Upsala zone, the Colonel mentor knew his team would have to get the ball inside for the final shot. The ; inbounds pass went to forward Jack Brabant, who probably had the room to drive himself, but the unselfish red-head tried to dish it off to Clarence Ozgo underneath and he DAVE ANN-MARIE (Continued on Page 7) � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Most assuredly, had the BEACON not asked for an explanation of the finances of the Coryel I Concert and the delayed appearance of Chairman Glenn Misner, a· few meetings l;)ack, the concert worker's voice would have gone unheard. Their pejorative responses at that meeting made it painfully clear that there are still foggy points and discrepa".lcies that still flow. Furthermore, SG Advisor, Dean Ed Baltruchitis's prudence during this affair has been demonstrated in his silence until now. It is no blanket fact that h_e had his doubts all along. We will watch and see if there is a Billy Joel concert, and if so, whether he will be "forced" to sign the contract. This clandestine operation that main SG leaders have chosen to run is now beginning to show its worth or should we say expense; A while back, the SG president was pondering resignation and it is palpable that he didn't strain his mind. We would surely like to help him with his decision. Now at high tide we demand the resignations of President Feeney and Concert Chairman Misner as they have lost their ability to function. It is time for fresh new leaders to surface. \ February 13, 1975 SG Advisor And-Chairman Comment On ~Incomplete' Beacon News Article To The Editors: In the fast issue of the Heacon ( February 4, l!J'/5 / Rich Colandrea presented his article on the proceedings of the SG Concert Committee's report of the Larry Coryell, Chuck Mangione concert held last November.

'J '1e program will provide an mter-disciplmary look at many of the questions and problems involved 111 the study of peace and conflict. Discussions will cover areas ranging lrom the weaknesses and strengths of efforts to change dll'ection from a warhke world to a more peaceful one; ways of testing ideas about the causes of war; the conditwns of µe,,ce; ways of hmiting and resolvmg conflicts: the history of peace research and the peac <:' rnovcrnent; and the links between populat1on, energy, and foul shortages and internal or international conflict. According to• the program difectur, Dr. Jerome Laulicht, '.15· sociale professor of sociology at Pitt, the topics extend heyond the boundaries of any one two disciplines; both stuuent,s and faculty will come from many fields. The program will be taught by resident faculty members from Pitt aml several visiting faculty from universities and research centers. Visiting faculty wih lecture on their current work and on research being done by others in related fields and will participate in seminar discussi uns. Students will have the opportunity tu explore their ow11 µartin!lar inlerest1' individuall:J ancl or OPEN LEI I ER TO COLLEGE STUDENTS Here are " fow facts you may or may not be aware of: -The U.S. military budget is 60 times greater than the budge_t for overseas economic aid. During a 14 hour period, the Defense Department spends more than the entire annual budget of the United Nations food program. -Only about 40 per cent of Americans eligible for food stamps currently receive them, and President Ford has announced his intentions to cut the food stamp program budget by about one billion dollars or 25 per cent. -The ad budget of General Foods is almost three times bigger than the budget of the · Food Bureau of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. -The American meat-based diet deprives the world of 18 million tons of cereal protein, an amount almost equal to the world's protein deficiency. -Americans consume, on the average, about one hundred pounds of sugar each year. Some foods - sugar-coated cereals, for instance - contain up to 50 per cent sugar. -Diet contributes to half of all deaths in the United States. Soaring food prices, increasing world food shortages, and mounting evidence of the dangerous health effects of ·the overly processed and refined American diet indicate that, if left to its own devices, the Federal Government will not take the steps necessary to develop a responsible food policy. The for,d 'ndustry - the corporations that bring you Cool Whip and Twinkies - have sold Americans on a diet of sugar-laden, fat-rich "convenience" foods that are contributing to a national epidemic of heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and obesity. While encouraging unhealthy eating habits through advertising and availability, these corporations are also contributing to high food prices. A Federal Trade Commission study estimated that consumers were overcharged $2 billion in 1972, because of the monopolistic structure of several segments of the food industry. As government and corporate decision-makers allow the food situation to deteriorate further, it becomes clear that individuals and organizations in communities and campuses across the nation will have to begin a massive education effort - an effort aimed at changing personal eating habits; improving food welfare programs; reforming corporations that promote the sale of billions of dollars worth of nutritionally empty, resource-squandering junk foods; investigating agri-business practices that are forcing small farmers off the land; and developing national policies which recognize the needs of hungry people at home and abroad. This job requires a national organizing effort. The non-profit Center for Science in the Public Interest, in conjunction with dozens of other groups and individuals, is building a movement to take on this task, a movement that will blossom on FOOD DAY, a national day of action on the food crisis. FOOD DAY is set for April 17, 1975. We hope that college and university students will take part in FOOD DAY, using their campuses as organizing focal points for both campus- and community-oriented activities. As a first step in accomplishing this, we urge students and faculty to set up joint committees to investigate what can be done at your campus, such as creating a campus-community garden or food coop, initiating sweeping changes in university food-buying policies, getting nutritious food in vending machines, or planning massive teach-ins for April 17th. , Students at the Universities of Michigan and Wisconsin are already planning teach-ins for next spring. At Yale, a student-faculty committee has planned a six week lecture-discussion series on world food problems and has already organized a fast in which over 2,000 students participated. Teach-ins provide an excellent forum for educating and organizing people both on campus and; the community. The food problems which face the nation and the world demand immediate action. Initial FOOD DAY actions may not make headlines or quickly change Federal or corporate policies, but they will put decision-makers on notice that the American public is no longer willing to participtae in Ute wasteful use of food resources. The rise of the environmental movement and the end to direct American involvementinthe Vietnam War are directly traceable to campus activity. The students of America can once again make a commitment to actions that can result in long-overdue changes in the way in which the Federal government, corporate America, 'and individuals decide how and to whom food will be allocated . FOOD DAY national offices are open at 1785 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Room 206, Washington, D.C. 20036 (202-462-8510). If you are interested in organizing FOOD PAY teach-ins or other activities, contact the office for further information and organizing suggesti?~ in grm1p projects and seminars.

Georges spent part of each day visiting various departments and talking with department heads at the downtown ·,ank. Production Slated For Feb. 21-23 Georges, who is from the Ivory Coast of Arica, hopes to pursue a career in banking when he r-eturns to his home. He received a BA in economics this January and is presently working on a degree in business administration. He visited 'the bank's Teller Training classroom, the officers' platform in the Main Ofjice Lobby, Installment Loans, the Mortgage Department, and the Commer~al and Audit Departments. Dean George Ralston arranged the tour with Joseph A. McKeown, VicePresident and Personnel Director of the bank. Georges, one of eight children, enrolled at Wilkes in 1971. He is on a four-year scholarship program sponsored by the African-American Institute. He explained that in his home of Abidjan, a student must pass a test before he can go to college. If he rates high he may be eligible for a scholarshio. Georges has only been back home once since his enrollment here. He is also interested in photography, and speuds his summers working with his brother. Georges enjoys life at Wilkes and has met a lot of "wonderful people.'

The Colonel-Royal matchup is already being billed as the "game of the year," for the Blue and Gold at least. Although for Rodger Bearde's sake, there will be bigger contests ahead if the Wilkesmen make the Middle Atlantic Conference playoffs; and that is almost assured no matter what they do in their remaining two league frays . Then why is the Scranton contest being built up so big? Of course there is the fact that they are local rivals, but it goes well beyond i.hat. Scranton was unbeaten in the MAC at last count, and appears to be 'the team to beat when the playoffs roll along. Upsala will be no pushover either, but the locals have already faced · them up at East Orange, losing in double overtime, and as coach Bearde points out confidently, "on a neutral court, we could beat them."

GEFFERT "The Student Union Board (SUB ) has come from nothing to something," remarked Dean Ed Baltruchitis during the SUB charter proposal discussion Tuesday evening at the Student Government Meeting. The eleven article proposal was presented to a large crowd in Weckesser Hall by IDC president Bob Howes and SUB treasurer Tom Marcy. ' · Guy Barbato To Manage WCLH Radio Discussion followed the first-draft proposal, bringing up noteworthy questions by Baltruchitis and student representatives such as ·should the SUB be involved in any programming of activities at Wilkes or be only a service organization to Wilkes students. Treasurer Marcy noted that SUB will provide a conference to allow area college students to take advantage of the coffee house circuit at the school. He stated, "Coffee houses will be low budget but a high quality of entertainment." President Stewart Feeney mentioned that SUB should be put on a one year probation period regarding the coffee houses, giving the organization an opportunity to aid the students and make a profit if possible. The financial report on the status of the coffee houses would be reviewed in one year by SG. It was announced that during the next SG meeting (Tuesday, Feb. 25) the charter will be reviewed and voted upon by SG membership. Winners of the freshmen class officer elections were announced: In a recent Student Publications Committee meeting, the appointment of Guy Barbato as the 1975-76 manager to WCLH, .the Wilkes College radio station was made. Guy, a sophomore Hahnemann candidate and vice-president of his class, began work at the station last (Continued On Page 2) year involving himself in the many aspects that go into the operation of a radio station.

Reaction Varies On Dis]Juted Concert Issue BY FRAN POLAKOWSKI AND PATRICE STONE Revelations continued during the week over the Beacon's questioning of Student Government's concert committee and Chairman Glenn Misner's written reply in last week 's issue. The Beacon has contacted various members of the administration and student body and has compiled the following remarks resulting from a sample of an overall consensus. President Michelini feels that Student Government has learned some-good lessons. " There has been some poor bookkeeping and accounting, but the whole idea of giving organizations responsibility is to let them learn.

" I thought the article was a bit biased, that a lot of accusations were made with no proof," answered a female transfer . " I thought the article was good, but when you read the letter Glenn Misner wrote I don't know who or what to believe. It's confusing, " commented a senior.

It is a place where a student can go to study or do research in a quiet atmosphere conducive to do those things. It is not a place to gather and exchange gossip. Unfortunately, the Eugene Sheddon Farley library is not conducive to study. It seems as if too many people go there to do nothing more than meet friends and talk. This situation cannot be tolerated: If students wish to talk, they can visit the Commons, a dorm, or any of the lounges around campus. They should not go to the library. · The noise in the library has also risen lately because of an increase in group study. When one or two students get together to study, the noise is usually low and bothers no one. A group of three people can also be acceptable, but when groups of six or seven meet, the noise gets too loud. Those who want to study as a group can meet in the Student Union Building or can use one of the quiet lounges around campus. They need not sit among the other students in the library and disturb i:hem. If the library at Wilkes is to remain just that - a library, it must be a place where students can go and quietly study, not be harassed by the casual conversations of others.

DeanCapin Capin Impressed · SG Meeting Time / We would like to suggest that Student Government consider scheduling its meetings for Sunday nights rather than the present Tuesday night schedule. This would promote better coverage of Student Government meetings by · the BEACON, since personnel would be more readily available to cover the meetings. It would also result in better coverage in terms of time. The fact is that the BEACON is being readied for the printer at the very time Student Government is meeting. To publish reports on Student Government meetings the same week they are held results in printing delays, which are not appreciated by the printers. Changing Student Government meetings to Sunday would also be a service to the general student body that the body is supposed to represent. S.G. mee~ings are open to students who wish to attend and air their thoughts. Many students have classes on Tuesday night and so cannot attend. There are no classes scheduled on Sundays, so there would be no trouble to students. We urge Student Government to change the meeting time to Sunday, for the benefit of the students.

SG President Feeney also requested that Advisor Dean Baltruchitis investigate last semester's grade breakdowns and the breakdown of financial aid given to athletes. Feeney also inquired if Baltruchitis could discover if the financial aid office notifies students if they qualify for aid, if the requirements for assistance can be sent out to each student and if the financial aid office can arrange a seminar during the school's activity period to accomwodate interested students. In reply, Baltruchitis suggested that he would attempt to satisfy the requests and ask Financial Aid Director Richard Raspen to attend the next SG meeting. During last week's SG meeting discussion reverted back to the concert. A motion was made to rescind the vote of confidence given to Glenn Misner.

The selections on this albwn show that the band has not given up its early hard rock roots. They avoid most of Ian Hunter's Dylan styling and stick to hard rock and roll. Except for a few spots of Hunter's psychologically oriented ballads, this albwn really moves a listener. It's loud, quickly building to a blur of noise. It seems like the band chose this type of music to release the frustrations that have sometimes • plagued them. Much of the loudness is due to the now missing Ariel Bender, who, although he wasn't as classy as his replacement, Ralph, seems a proponent of the overkill school of sell. His guitar playing throughout the record is heavy-handed, sometimes lacking much sensitivity. But he moves and challenges the rest of the band, giving pure joy to the Mott listener.

The Wilkes team went into the contest hoping to better their 1-1 log in league play following last week's annihilating victory over Misericordia. But they were outplayed in the final minutes, and went down to their second defeat. A hard pressing defense forced several turnovers and hampered the efforts of Wilkes to mount an early offensive drive. But the Wilkeswomen charged back to within four poinf at the half. Dotty Martin played an outstandir,g game, spearheading the team's offensive power with 20 points. Following her were Diane Jones who canned 11 and Anita Meehan 10. Both teams stressed offense in a fast moving second half, playing run and shoot ball. The scoring span stayed close with Marywood on top by two to four points during much of the second half. But with minutes to go, the Colonelette drive stalled as Marywood controlled the boards and deprived Wilkes of the second shot. On the other end, the opposition continued their attack finding holes in the Colonelettes defense and pulling away to a 59-66 win. The Wilkeswomen dropped a 79-59 decision to Kutztown Friday afternoon in the victor's gym. Despite the absence of several members of the Wilkes squad, freshmen Anita Meehan and Karen Olney lead the team in a valiant fight against their Kutztown rivals. Olney had a stellar performance, scoring ~4 points and grabbing 18 rebounds, while Anita came through with 18 points. Senior co-captain Ann Tracy also played a fine game, adding to the team's total. Coaching Poor In MAC This weekend's MAC wrestling tourney marks the end of a 19 year "friendship" between the conference and coach John Reese's team. But coach Reese hasn't been much of a friend. Grabbing 14 titles in those 19 years was a very selfish thing to do. Hah, Hah. Several of the league's coaches have been trying to oust the Colonels out of competition the past few years, and you can bet there will be a sigh of relief after Saturday night finals. Two years ago, it appeared the calibre of MAC wrestling was finally fluctuating to an almost even leve~ with Wilkes, when the Blue and Gold managed to capture only three individual titles and won the team title by a scant 12 points. But Wilkes returned a year later and ravaged their opponents, winning eight titles and outscoring their nearest opponent by 120 points. · What's the problem? Is it thafWilkes is that good? Yes, but it's more than that. There have been some excellent grapplers in the conference over the past few years, and with proper coaching, they could have developed into first-rate competitors. But they didn't have proper coaching. Instead, they have the Obers, and the Davies, and all these kids learn are bad habits. .. John Reese can take a young, undeveloped wrestler and bring him up to be a champion, if he has the talent within, and the want to win. Other MAC coaches will take a good wrestler, and four years later, that is all he will be ... a good wrestler. Take the case of E-town!s Eric Mast, the 1974 NCAA Division III national champ at 118 pounds. Only a sophomore this year, Mast has the potential to become one of the finest lightweights the East has ever had. But he never will. In fact, he will never get any better than he is now. Why? Because the proper coaching and handling is lacking. It's really a shame when you think of it. There is so much ability there, and more than half of it will never be utilized. If John Reese ever got his hands on a youngster like Mast, the sky would be the limit by the time he was a senior. Eastern titles, University-Division titles, Olympics, who knows? Everyone knows, and that is bad. . MAC (From Page t) Albright could have their first conference champ in quite some time, in 177 pounder Jim Glanfield, a freshman with an unblemished record. Glanfield was a Connecticut state champ in 1974, but previous glory will not impress the likes of Wilkes' Dave Gregrow, Doug Cope of Delaware Valley, Dan Hartranft of Lycoming, and George Stauffer of E-town. This is probably the tourney's most wide open weight class, with anyone of the aforementioned athletes capable of carrying home the crown. Lebanon Valley's Steve Sanko is back to defend his 1974 crown at 190 pounds, and will have his hands full with John Hopkins' Gary Murza. Murza was a third place finisher at heavyweight last campaign, and has been nearly unstoppable since dropping down a class. In fact, Murza pounded Sanko 7-1 in the finals of the Lebanon Valley Invitational this past December. Ted King of Del Val and either Gary Johnson or Randy Parsons WCLH, the campus radio station, will be on hand once again to broadcast of Lycoming are also tough grapplers, but the fight here is between Murza both the Middle Atlantic Conference wrestling tournament this weekend in and Sanko.

Trying to top their 1974 performance at Delaware Valley, where the Reesemen made a mockery of the league tourney, crowning eight of ten individual champions (the other two _received a second and a third), .and taking the team title with 200 points, will be very hard to duplicate in '75. But there is little doubt that the Reesemen will exit with their seventh consecutive title, and fourteenth in the last nineteen years, when Saturday evening rolls around. There will however, be many fine matches in the two day affair, at almost every weight class, and Saturday evening's finals should be quite exciting. Mast The Best At 118 L?SING THE HARD WAY-Two of the Colonel basketball standouts are shown here in action Tuesday night agamst tough Scranton University. Clarence Ozgo (left) is shown positioning himself for a charge call on the Royals' Jim DeRichie, while in the right photo, Blue and Gold Jack Brabant lets one of his patented jumpers fly beyond the outstretched hands of Scranton's Jack Maher. Playing At Elizabethtown Cagers Must Win TolUght It's g;;t to be a frustrating thing for coach Rodger Bearde. He has a team that is capable of beating anyone. He has a team that could go farther than anyone would ever imagine a Wilkes College basketball team could go. But on this Thursday in March, two days after losing one of the most heart-breaking contests of their lives, the Blue and Gold sit on the threshold of uncertainty. The uncertainty arises because, with one Middle Atlantic Conference encounter remaining in the 1974-75 regular season, the Blue and Gold are still in doubt as to whether their future has a MAC playoff berth in store for them. the king for a day. However, it was- chance at Upsala and Scranton in They could have clinched a spot Tuesday night, before one of the largest crowds to ever witness a Colonel cage game, but Scranton University eliminated that brief glimmer of light, and went on to squeeze by Wilkes 74-72 in double overtime. It was a game that will not soon be forgotten; by us or by anyone of th e almost three thousand fans · that packed the "Palestra" that memorable evening. Playing as if Scranton were a mere pick-up team, Wilkes gathered in the momentum and the points, and spurted into · the lockerroom at halftime with a nine point advantage. And for 15 minutes of the second half, that lead held up. But then, our friend, Mr. "Mo Mentum" swung the . other way, and the Royals caught fire and took over the lead. With less than 20 seconds remaining, it appeared the only thing that could save the· Colonels was Superman. And Sup~rman came in the form of a 6-4 red-headed forward named Jack Brabant, who connected on a 16 foot jumper with eight ticks left on the clock, to tie the score, and give the Blue and Gold another life. With pivotman Greg Buzinski riding the bench after fouling out, the Colonels needed another "hero" t'l tie it in the first overtime, when guard Steve Ference drove the lane, and made what appeared to be one of the biggest clutch shots of his career. But Rodger Bearde ran out of Superman in overtime number two, although Buzinski's back up, Frank Britt came within a whisker of being not to be that night for the Blue and Gold. So a team that has been working for this season for so long, and a coach who wants a conference title so bad that he can taste it, may be beaten before they even start. They travel to tiny Elizabethtown College this evening, to face the Blue Jays, in a contest that will spell the fate of Colonel basketball in 1975. If they win, they are in, and will get another Reading next week; two teams they know they can beat next time around if they are given the chance. Lose however, and next weekend will be a lonely occasion for ·a basketball team and a determined coach, who will be able to only think of what could have been. A few short hours from now, the story will have been told. -DO MOWITCH- ---------------------------- Mermen's Win SkeinBroken By Kutztovvn , BY MARIANNE MONTAGUE The Colonel swim team suffered an 81-32 loss to the Kutztown Golden Bears on Saturday at Kutztown State College.

With the Colonel's Rick Mahonski sitting out the season with injuries, Elizabethtown's Eric Mast is expected to have very little trouble ip picking up his second consecutive MAC title at 118 pounds. Mast has been wrestling at 126 the entire season however, and word is, he may have trouble making weight. · If he cannot get down, Blue and Gold sophomore Roy Preefer, and Lycoming's Bill Beasley will be in a heated battle for the crown. If Mast makes it down, the pair will be in a heated battle for second. Others worth mentioning are Steve Lazzaro of John Hopkins, 1974 runnerup, and Lebanon Valley's George Kline, who beat Lazzaro in a tourney earlier this season. . Defending 126-pound champion Lon Balum is back to defend his title, but he will not be the favorite. Gettysburg, which is participating in the MAC college-division confab for the first time has a highly touted freshman at this weight class in Craig Helmuth. Helmuth was a Pennsylvania state champ last season at Chambersburg High School, and earlierthis year, pinned E-town's Mast in a dual meet. Bal um has not had a good year, but is out to prove he has not lost it in the tourney's, and if and when these two meet, the spectators at the Long Center could very possibly be viewing the MAC's best matchup. Elizabethtown's Bruce Sennsinig placed third last year, losing to Balum in the final second of the semi-final match, and is a talented athlete. He won't win it, but could take second, if he gets a few breaks. Scott Schell of Moravian (2nd in '73, and 4th in '74) and Frank Loio of Swarthmore (2nd in '74) are potential placewinners, but that's it. 'Chak' The Class At 134 The Colonel's John Chakmakas is the class of the MAC 134 pounders, and will have no trouble taking home his second consecutive conference title. Lycoming's Gary Felthousen ( 3rd in '73) is probably the best of the second best here, but will receive stern tests for the runnerup spot from E-town's Gary Heim, Moravian's John Skutches, and Dave Hauser of Lycoming. Look for Ursinus' George Canning to surprise. Like Chakmakas, Wilkes "super soph" Mike Kassab is almost a shoo-in at 142. Possible, but improbable challengers are Lycoming's Harold Shaw, who was pinned by Casper Tortella of Wilkes in a dual match, John Hopkins' Clark Kingery, and Delaware Valley's Rick Homan. The 150 pound MAC title has probably been decided already if Blue and Gold middleweights Tortella and Greg MacLean eliminated yet. They are only frosh, but both are two of the best in their class. There will however be several stiff challenges at 150 from·the likes of Swarthmore's Bill Rawbing, . who was injured last season, Lloyd Reiter of Lycoming, and Susquehanna's Bill Finch. Moravian's Tony Villani (second in '74) is back also and could make it tough. · 158 Is A Two-Way Battle 158 appears to be a two way battle between the Colonel's Gene Ashley, and Gettysburg's Tim Gesner, a MAC University-Division titlist a year ago. However, Hofstra's Jim McDuffie was a U-D champ also, and Jim Weisenfluh made quick work of him in a dual meet a few wee).{s back, so Ashley would have to be regarded a very heavy favorite. Craig Savitsky of Lycoming ( 3rd a year ago only lost to Gino by four when they met earlier this year, and should challenge for second). Other possible placewinners include Larry Priester of Lebanon Valley, Cabot Christianson of Swarthmore, Dale Moyer of Delaware Valley, and John Liken of Susquehanna. 1 A 1974 champion, and the tourney's outstanding grappler a season ago Jim Weisenfluh, is back to defend his 167 title. Weisenf!•th's "pin or be pinned" style of wrestling makes every match appear uncertain, but when he is on, there are few if any that can beat him. This week, there are none. Three names who would like to unseat him are Lycoming's Terry Schultz (3rd a ye_a r ago at 150), Gettysburg's Jeff Moretzohn, and E-town's Ricardo Bailey. · (Continued on Page 7) � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Basketball Busters and USUC II both won last week in Intramural cage contests, to stay neck and neck as the regular season dwindles to a close, and the playoffs draw nearer. Neil and Jerry Bavitz combined for 36 points to lead the USUC quintet to their fourth victory of the year, a 103-53 trouncing of th e Bearcats. Five players in· an ripped th e cords for double digits, wi th Len Malshefski, 16; Donny McDermott, 14; and Mike Superczinski, 12, joining the Bavitz' as leading scorers. For the Bearcats, Kevin Shaughnessy was high with 18. The Busters remained the lone undefeated team in the "A" Division pulling out a close five point victory over a stubborn Colonel A squad, 44-39. It took some last minute heroics by Buster's star Billy Winter to ice the victory in the low scoring contest. Winter was high man for the victors with 20 points, while teammate Craig Austin was the only other Buster in double figures with 12 . For Colonel House, Mike Vassil l ·' • - L ' ; Bavitz Bros. Hit For36 ln Victory ·' - NO TOMORROW There were twelve minutes left, and Wilkes was down by nine points in their do-or-die game with Elizabethtown. Rodger Bearde called time out. I thought to myself, this is it. This is where Bearde hits them with the "no tomorrow" speech, and they come out with fire in their eyes. The fire was there, all right. Clarence, Greg, Steve-all of them. They knew as did coach Bearde that a loss here would put an end to that "championship season" before it even had a chance to materialize. Four years of waiting, four years of building all were on the line right here. As the clock started, Wilkes hit a quick bucket, and the handful of Colonel fans on hand, including myself, smelled the big comeback. Bearde had his team pressing and double-teaming all over the court, but E-town handled it well. Time and time again they broke it, and found a man wide open underneath to squelch the Blue and Gold chances. Nine minutes remained, and Bearde again called time out with his team down by nine and Ozgo at the line to shoot two. Again we waited for the comeback. But again, E-town countered a Wilkes bucket with one of their own. Then Kenny Hughes stole a pass and headed upcourt. But a Blue Jay defender stole it right back, and the momentum stayed in the hands of the hometown club. But with five minutes left, Buzinski hit on a jumper, to cut the lead to five, and Clarence Ozgo stole the ball seconds later and headed upcourt once more, with Trainor on his left, and Ference on his right, giving Wilkes a three on one advantage, and an almost certain basket. Clarence faked a pass and tried to drive himself, but ran into the lone Blue Jay defender. The · referee's whistle blew, and the fcVIs sat in a deadened silence, waiting for the crucial call. Traveling-Wilkes. That call may have been the final nail on the Wilkes coffin, but hope was still not lost in the minds of the Colonels and in the minds of the fans. Two minutes remained, now, and Wilkes had caught fire behind the outside shotting of guard Frank Trainor and Buzinski. Greg went up for a shot, missed, but was fouled . Time out Colonels. Life came to the Wilkes bench. If Greg could cash in on these two free throws, we would have been down by a mere point, and victory would become a distinct possibility for the first time since the contest had begun. He sighted the first one up ... and missed. Greg's second shot also missed the mark, and E-town had possession of the ball and the game. For a few minutes we sat there motionless, as Bearde and his dejected team trudged into the lockerroom with their heads to the floor. It was over before it even started. The hopes, the dreams; they had all been stifled on this dreary wintery night in Elizabethtown, Pa. The disappointment of the team was all too evident. And for the handful of Colonel fans, who had come to see a beginning, there were only remnants of a sad end. a nd Greg Wild had 17 a nd 15 respectively.

It wasn't the best of years for the former St. Mary's High School star, but his ballhandling wizadry and nine assists in that one game was reminiscent of the Ference of old. . - ::::=:::::·: :.:: ::;: [:•·.\•.j·• • j::: :::: .... :~( :::: [:\.l.\_j: The Blue and Gold outpointed their nearest competitor Elizabethtown by more than 93 points up at the John Long Center on the Scranton University campus, and wreaked havoc on the rest of the conference as well, capturing 32 of the 36 bouts in the two day confab.

Losing in double overtime, before almost three thousand fans, the Colonels came within a whisker of fulfilling a part of that "dream" they had of an MAC championship. Blowing a ten point lead, Wilkes refused to quit, utilizing individual heroics until finally, the heroics ran out.

It was ·the last meet for seniors Kowalek, Bernie Ford, Ann Marie Lewis and Lynn Duncan of the Colonel squad. A delegation of swimmers will travel to Johns Hopkins in Maryland for the MAC swimming competition. They will leave today. For Lon Balum, this season has been a nightmare. There have been times when he would have liked to see it all come to an abrupt end, and his less than impressive 1974-75 statistics forgotten. But Balum came to the MAC tournament with something to prove, and prove it he did. He went up against a favored Craig Helmuth of Gettysburg in the finals , and wrestled one of the b~st bouts of his young career. Hanging on to a slim 4-3 lead in the waning minute of the final period, critical fans again expected the Muncy grappler to- blow the lead as he had done to Eric Mast earlier this year. But Balum surprised them all. That Saturday afternoo:i at the semi's, the few hundred fans on hand couldn't believe their eyes out on Mat number one, as John Chakmakas was losing 6-4 with only 30 seconds remaining in the bout.

Baltruchitus charged the executive council with the task last semester. Newly elected Circle K President Bill Goldsworthy informed the body that the club "saw the guidelines two weeks ago.''

Costs have risen. CC estimated that with the help of the junior class it would have sufficient funds to cover the party but that its funds would be nearly depleted. Plans - were formulated to approach the freshmen class to determine if it_would be willing to help. IDC representative Al Berger was asked by the council to indicate IDC's feelings. Berger, who attended the meeting to give an IDC report to CC indicated that IDC couldn't provide financial backing at this time. IDC has in the past sponsored affairs with CC. Currently IDC is unsure about some transfers from their Parrish account. They may not have been transferred. If so the treasurei·'s balance wouldn't be advisable to use. They wanted to investigate the situation first. If this was not done IDC might have extended the money and when the questioned transfers occurred IDC's financial situation would be worsened. CC President" Mike Stambaugh agreed with IDC's concensus and felt it was better for IDC to be cautious and refrain from _- committing itself now. Also the possibility of providing student campus parking was discussed. A parking lot accommodating 50 cars is currently being constructed near the Stark Learning Center. The tentative completion date is next fall. The original completion date had l.Jeen set for this fall. The date was then changed to the beginning of this semester. The architect for the project is donating his services. College officials are reluctant to rush him for this reason . In addition, railroad ties used for the borders of the lot are in short supply. They are ol.Jtained free of charge when local railroad tracks are dismantled. Faculty, staff and administration have priority to use the lot. Leftover spaces will be allotted to students. One CC representative noted that faculty currently have some trouble with parking.

IDC Allots $200 The Inter-dormitory Council voted to allot $200 to help Commuter Council sponsor a St. Patrick's Day party on Sw1day evening March 16 at Gus Genetti's. Due to a tie, IDC President Bob Howes voted in favor of granting the money. The amount alloted was one half the amount requested by CC. A few days earlier IDC was unable tu commit itself. An expenditure was not listed on a ledger received from Parrish. Once the problem was resolved and IDC was certain of its financial status IDC was willing to co-sponsor the party. The party features a buffet, free beer and cash bar. About 300 may attend. The current cost estimate is $-1~5 per ticket. ( Co11tin11ed on Page 4) �Page 2 March 6, 1975 THE BEACON Wilkes Actillism _The· Readers' Voice If you were to ask the man on the street what college students are like, the answer would probably be a stereotyped image left over from the 1950's and 60's. Thev would see college students as either radical demonstrators, protesting everything " American. " or as apathetic creatures leading lives of beer-drinking and partyattending. The first image is at this time practically dead. The second one do~s. however, accurately describe a number of students . What many people do not realize is that a new breed of college students is gaining adherents every year. These students study, enjoy a good social lite and also find time to become active in the betterment of the community and the enrichment of the quality of life .' Wilkes College is in ~he forefront when it comes to these students. The Human Services Committee's work, Theta Delta Rho's "Golden Agers " program, the students working on the Wilkes German Exchange Program, and the Wilkes Community Effort's work are just a few examples of the ways in which Wilkes students are active in bettering life. These students and the Wilkes personnel working with them all deserve prais~and thanks . They are doing an exceflent job and receiving little or, more usually, no pay for their .efforts. It is time the community begins to recognizP their work. News Coverage Of SG Spurs A Chang_ e To the Editor, .

Class Conduct Notices One of . the most disturbing things encountered at Wilkes College is the attitude of manv students towards conduct in class . They attend class, but don't really pay attention to what is going on . They make it ditficult tor others to learn . They are usually found sitting toward the rear of the room talking or humming . Others use such tactics as cracking gum, chomping on hard candy, and constantly moving about in the seat. Such behavior ·is not only distracting to the students around the person, but o the prof as well. What is much more im·portant, is the .-act that such action shows disrespect to the teacher and othe · students . It is a violation of their right to learn and a sign that 'hey have no interest in the course . Those who h.1 bitually act in such a manner in class should cqnsider dropping the course or at least staying away from class so the others can learn .

Wilkes Students Enjqy Winter Carnival Days BY .FF tN POLAKOWSKI AND PATRICE STONE Neither a lack of snow nor a partially frozen la ;:e stopped about 150 Wilkes Colle1,e students from enjoying themsdves this past weekend at White Beauty View resort in the Poconos. Upon arrival at the resort the three bus loads of anxious travelers invaded the main ballroom with skiis and baggage in tow. With the assignment of c?bins and the bad news that ice skating and tobogganning were not available at the resort, the still optimistic group shuffled off to their "homes away from home." That evening's activities began with a good old-fashioned hayride given a modern-day touch. Although snow was lacking, hay was not. It's presence was felt for sometime after by everyone on the wagon. The festivities did not end there, but continued in several cabins. Laughter, music, song and dance topped the evening and carried ·1oc .

But good news or not, there is going to be a tremendous amount of fine wrestling to watch tomorrow and Saturday on the John Carroll University campus. After some pretty fair prognasticating on the MAC's two weeks ago, we're ready to try our luck on the national wrestling scene. The following is our personal forecast of the results of each individual weight class come Saturday night. · Wilkes co-ed Cindy Glawe was the pride of the swim team last ,n:ekend when she copped a third place medal in Women's Diving Competition at the first Women's Middle Atlantic Conference Swimming and Diving Championships. The event was held - in conjunction with the Men"s MAC championships at Johns Hopkins University i•.1 Baltimore, Maryland. Cindy, a freshman nursing major is "really happy" about doing so well in the competition. IL was the first time this year she <.Juve in a strictly women's event. "Diving with male divers all year inspired me to improve the quality of my diving and increase the caliber of the dives I was capable of executing." Coach Rick Marchant has nothing but praise for his rookie diver. "Cindy had no idea what to expect down there because it was the first MAC swimming event ever held for women. There was a lot of pressure on her, instead of doing the usual eleven dives she had to do six and through hard work and determination she was successful." The coach goes on "All thf' competition was excellent. Cindy, who is only a freshman, demonstrated a lot of poise.

There are no two more deserving athletes than Fred and "Winky," and their leadership ability as well as their athletic ability will be a tremendous asset to the team next season.

Whare lost to Mast in last year's quarterfinals, 9-6. This weight class has a lot of potential champions however, and Wilkes' Roy Preefer, Western Maryland's Jed Marchio, Binghamton's Mike Grecco, Mt. Union's Jim Acquilo, and John Carroll lightweight Jack Mulhall all have a good shot at it. Mulhall captured a second in the tough East Stroudsburg Open earlier in the season. Montclair State's Nabil Guketluv will also be returning to defend his 126-pound title, and is the favorite once again. This weight class like the preceding one however, has several top flight grapplers. Al Evangelista of Augustana College, who lost to Guketluv in the '74 finals, is back, as is third place finisher Lonny Balum. St. Cloud St., which is dropping down to Division III for the initial time, has a good one in Mike Dohlheimer, who placed sixth in the Division II affair a year ago.

Wilkesman Mike Kassab and John Carroll's Tim Pazyniak would have to be regarded as the co-favorites, since 1974 runnerup John Martellucci will probably move up to 150. Millersville's Stan Smith (fourth in the State College tourney ), and Ohio Northern's Tom Shelliday are extremely talented and could capture it all, while Binghamton's Walt Wilce, and Montclair's Walt Welter will be ready to move up if there are a few upsets. . · The afore mentioned Johr Martellucci will be the man to beat at 150, but Millersville's Rich Zinck has all the cap2.Jilitites of a champion.

He could go all the way this weekend. Challenging him will be Ashland: s Skip Fair, Montclair's Blair Buchol, Olivet's Ron Bates, and Wilkes' Dave Gn:grow. The Ear Man Rick "Earing" Molbury of Potsdam, who won it last year is the pick to do it again at i90. But Ashland's Skip Fair, and Dan Schmitt of Coe will have something to say about that. Glenn Carson of Trenton State, third seed a year ago, Montclair's John Reid and Ithaca's Paul Iacovelli should place. 'The top six placewinners of a year ago are back once again at heavyweight, and it will be a real chicken fight. The favorite is returning champ Joe Bertolone of John Carroll, but Al Scharer and Brockport's Mackey Tyndall have the talent to upset him from his prestigeous throne (although neither the strength nor the weight) . The U.S. Coast Guard's Jim Murray, Asliland's Greg Lowe, Millersville's Dave Schley (who just may drop to 190), Binghamton's Dean Schlosberg, and Oswego's Eric Houdfleich all could make it to the finals, but there is still Bertolone waiting for them.

Bohn, a WilkesHahnemann Major, also met with President Ford while participating in the 65th Anniversary Celebration of U.S. Scouting. Bohn was one of twelve finalists from throughout the United States who competed in the Reader's Digest Association-Boy Scouts of America National Public Speaking Contest. The competition was held at the Boy Scouts of America's national headquarters in North Brunswick, New Jersey . The theme of this year's contest was " Be Prepared for Life : Be Safe, Be Fit. " The contest was part of the Boy Scouts ' 65th Anniversary Celebration and after the competition was held, the fin a lis ts tr ave led to Washington D.C. The decision of the judges was announced that night. Prior to the competition, the finalists were treated to a two-day tour of New York City. · Bohn was among those who visited the White House to present the "Boy Scout Report to the Nation." He noted that he was "very aware of the prestige and awe of the office" as he stood in the President's Oval Office. "One thing you notice," Bohn said, "is that the President is a man like everyone else , but with a lot more responsibility." He noted that many people t hink of governmental leaders as "super beings" and 'not as men capable of making mistakes. Bohn lives in Mountaintop and has been active in the local Explorer Post sponsored by the Health and Hospital Pla nn ing Co uncil of Northeastern Pennsylvania. He was elected president of the club after it started last year. In September he entered and won the local public speaking contest using the official theme. He went on to lace first in the state contest held in Downington in October . Bohn competed in the North East Regional competition in New York City in November and again placed first. This made him representative for the region, which includes all the New England states, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. This also made him eligible to compete in the national contest. .Donations Stolen From Circle K Book Give-away WILKES STUDENT MEETS PRESIDENT FORD-Not many people have a chance to meet the president of the United States, but Wilkes freshman Mark Bohn had just that opportunity.

The Sporting Outcome Coach Responds To ·Cartoon I would like to thank Paul · Domowitch for his " cartoon " commentary published in the March sixth edition of the BEACON concerning the women's basketball team. Your view regarding "discipline" of athletic teams obviously . coincides with -that of many people from within the realm of sports as well as many individuals from without-such as yourself. ' As the coach of the women's basketball team I dq not feel it necessary to justify my lillncHing of team discipline to you -or to other "arm chair quarterbacks." However, I would like to use this opportunity to express my ideas and feelings about sport. Admittedly, to be successful- (in this context I am not necessarily referring to a win-loss record!) in sport as. in other life endeavors one must possess discipline. However, I feel that discipline under these circumstances must be self discipline. Unfortunately, on occasion, extrinsi~ restrictions must be imposed; however, I feel that the bulk of responsibility for discipline rests with each individual. Discipline of the self should of course be encouraged and nurtured - but it must come from within.

Nevertheless, individuals from "without" put the pieces together and interpret things in terms of their own unique life experiences. Obviously enough, we are all guilty of this, particularly when we are unable to or unwilling to communicate with these individuals concerned and about whom we are passing judgement. Thus, we, in essence, obliterate the true significance of the situation because what we have connoted, is not what actually "is." · As sincere and genuinely concerned human beings, I feel it is our responsibility to communicate - to find out, in fact, what is happening, to share views, and to then make an honest judgement, if judgements are what we are about. But, not until this has occurred do I feel one should cast aspersions. If I have somehow misconstrued the meaning or intent of your comments or if you have insightful observations which you feel you would like to express which may enhance the growth of our women's basketball program, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Beacon~; I believe that people need freedom to grow. They need the opportunity to make decisions and to assume an active role in shaping their own lives. I feel this is likewise true in athletics. If we, as coaches or teachers, are unwilling to permit this to occur either on the athletic field or in the classroom, for fear of losing control or for other irrelevant reason(s) : then I feel we must honestly reassess the goals of education and how they are to be realized. Furthermore, I do not feel athletes should be "publicly admonished," harshly criticized or in any manner embarrassed. Their wearing tunics, kilts, or other athletic clothing does not metamorphose them into something less than human beings with feelings and dignity. My teams, both in basketball and tennis are given the opportunity to make many decisions in regard to play, training, practice, and so forth and are encouraged to express freely their thoughts and feelings. The women's basketball team is growing, both from an individual standpoint and for those of you who are keeping score cards, in terms of a win-loss record - and I am proud of them.

BY PA TI'I REILLY " l wanted to create _a place where people could come to meet other people and just have a good time," explained Joe Vispi owner of Vispi's Camelot Lounge in the Narrows Shopping Center, Edwardsville. Vispi, who also owns several summer stock theaters in Ohio, considers the managing of the ba r as "sort of a hobby. " The decor of Vispi's _is unique . It has been decoratefj in the theme of Camelot, which happens to be Vispi 's favorite play . ' · Thick carpeting with velvet chairs, dark leather couches, small cocktail tables, larger game tables and rich gold curtains accent the fireplace. Vispi commented that the bar was decorated in a way that was most conducive to meeting people. He happily added that over 300 marriages have sprung out of Vispi's 17 year reputation. 1 The prices for drinks are comparable to any bar. Michelob and Budweiser beer are always offered on tap; however, no bottled beer is available. Homemade pizza is offered on Friday and Saturday afternoons - free of charge - in hors d'oeuvre size pieces. It is delicious. A very elaborate stereo system provides dancing music, although the dancing floor is so crowded on Friday and Saturday nights that you can't help ''bumping into someone." Vispi's is open 6 days a week from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m. The dress is casual although jeans are not generally seen. Irish Feast On St. Patrick's Day green champagne will flow from Vispi's fountain along with lots of green sandwiches for everyone, just fringe benefits for the clientele. " It's fun to celebrate special holidays," explained Vispi. As I looked around I was impressed with the elaborate Easter decorations Easter baskets hung from the ceiling, with handmade eggs in them. Vispi confided in me that they had spent close to $4,000 on their Easter decorations. Vispi likes to share a bottle of champagne and a birthday cake with his patrons when they are celebrating a birthday. I was amazed how Vispi s~emed to know most of the people in the lounge on a first name basis. He was genuinely interested in everyone. In a day when everyone seems to be out to rip the public off it is nice to know that you can go to a place like Vispi's and just have a good time. As I was leaving the lounge, Mr. Vispi commented that the drinking age in the state of Pennsylvania probably will be lowered to 19 years of age with the commencement of the next state legislature.

Reif Calls For Student Action , On Tuesday a blue-eyed and pale-skinned young lady (from West Pittston, I presumed ) asked me what I thought of the idea of having members of The Biological Society of Wilkes College try to break the record of pushing a four-poster bed contim1ously for four days and in doing so raise enough money to buy an electron microscope for the Department of Biology. On Wt::dnesday another young lady with very dark eyes and dark skin (from Nigeria, I presumed ) asked me to assign her to a faculty advisor as a ma jor in biology, which I refused to do beca use in our short conversation I ~as sure that she did not w1dcrstand what I was saying to her and I had difficulty in understanding what she was saying to me. These LWO incidents are related and the first suggestion I shall make, below; relates to that relationship, and it ... lso has a bearing on many other ,. -;peels of campus life. In my experience at Wilkes College I have seen many students come to Wilkes College from other countries, with high hopes and sufficient ability, only to find ti.emselves behind the eight ball because they were not well enough prepared in the use of the English language (as she is spoke in Wyoming Valley ). My position on this subject has long been that Wilkes College does these welcome visitors a great disfavor by allowing them to start bona fide course work before they have demonstrated that they can follow lecture_s in English and that they can study in any manner rapidly enough to keep up with their classes. All of us at Wilkes College are happy to have these foreign students with us, and aq of us benefit from knowing them; but too many of them have suffered too much because they have had trouble academically, practically all of the trouble's stemming from their difficulty with the English language. So what can be done about it ? days or even weeks, the same eager students comprise a team, and working one at a time, spend an hour a day drilling any foreign student who needed such coaching, in the use of English. The job requires a one to one encounter, with pleRty of give and take , lots of repetition, and tons of good friendly encouragement. I'm sure I would feel a greater sense of accomplishment were I to help a fellow student get off to a good start-than I would from pushing a bed to a world record. Incidentally, I know that some of the foreign students speak languages which are required at Wilkes College ; this opens up the possibility of reciprocal benefits. But let's take the idea a step or two further. Instead of swimming fifty laps for logies-on-the-bogies, or dancing three days for good old cerebral atrophy, why not be involved first-hand in a constructive project. Participation in a stunt to Constructive Suggestions raise funds for something, which one My suggestion for today is, that thinks should be done , is a good way instead of pushing a bed around for to keep the problem at arm's length. Why should one do the hard work involved in really doing something about a messy problem when one can have good clean fun merely by raising funds instead ? Why not let . some other sucker do the hard work first hand ? Campus Courtesies Now I know there are holes in this argument but let us con.,ider what it would mean at Wilkes College were the students really to be involved. What can be done by the students on campus? Well, how about a little courtesy on the walks and in the halls and on the stairways? How about some consideration for the lawns on campus, as well as the trees? How about less littering ? Why not stop the nasty habit of stomping out cigarettes on floors, rugs, and sidewalks? How about getting rid of the slimy graffiti on the walls of the toilets ? How about stopping the goofing off in class? How about returning those books to the library, and how about making the library a place where one can study ? How about having the Clean Environment Club do something about cleaning up the campus, or maybe, just maybe, how about having The Bioh.:gical Society do something biological? I sound like a dreamer, don 't I? Maybe · so, but I think enough students on this campus agree with me so that some progress could be made. As citizens of the cold cold world,'all of you are going to face the same problems and in the cold cold world those problems are going to make a difference in the. quality of your lives. Why not learn to do something about solving those problems right here on this campus, at Dear Old Wilkes, here and now ?

Marcy's Resignation Prompts A Meeting BY CHRIS PANTELAKOS Circuit, Horan said that the Board will have to check its finances before any action is taken. He stated that if there is sufficient money in the treasury, he would like to hold two or three more Coffee Houses. However, the S.U.B. has lost money on every Coffee House this year. Horan estimates this loss at somewhere between $75 and $100 for each affair. Hesaid the reason for this is that the Coffee Houses are not attracting enough people to cover the cost of expenses. The S.U.B. has to pay for the artist, his transportation, and his room and board for two or three nights. In addition, they have to provide coffee and doughnuts for the people attending. Horan said that the S.U.B. is not out to make a profit on the whole thing, but hold the Houses for the benefit of the students. The Executive Board of the S.U.B. has called an emergency meeting today in Weckesser Hall to deal with the resignation of Tom Marcy, its Treasurer, and to discuss the future of the Coffee House circuit. In a letter to the S.U.B., Marcy stated that his resignation was to be effective as of Wednesday, March 5. He stated that personal problems have prompted his decision. However, the Board did not accept Marcy's resignation as yet and has requested his presence at the meeting. Bill Horan, director of the S.U.B., stated that Marcy will be expected to present a written financial statement on all activities that have occurred during his term in office. Along with the report Marcy must answer any questions that the Board may ask of him. Marcy is expected to tell exactly why he did resign. Horan said that if the Board NOTICE accepts Marcy's resignation he will . . . . accept suggestions from Art Hoover Fmanc1al Aid Packages are ready and other members of the Boar~ to ~ picked up at the Financial Aid to who will take his place. - --1 Office, Chase Hall. · With regard to the Coffee House The college exists for the student, but very often we, as students, find fault with the institution and are unaware of the proper channels to go through in order to express our desire for change. One of the most influential bodies on campus is our Student Government. As students, we are represented in this body by twenty-four elected members, six from each class, and an executive council, all acting under the President. Recently, we expressed our choices for Student Government members through class elections; now we must choose our President in an all campus election. Before voting, it is very important that we know the qualifications of our candidates, and the prospective plans he has to offer. I feel that my past experiences with campus activities qualify me for the position of Student Government President. The direction I would like to see Student Government take in the coming year would be towards a more active involvement in academic problems, political enlightenment and social rechanneling. With the backing of Student Government, it can be possible to improve the finals policy and the current grading system. Becoming more involved with the Pennsylvania Student Lobby, will give us a stand on solving student problems and keep us aware of our situation as a student in this state. In regard to social activities, I feel that Student Government has for too long taken on the planning and responsibility of social events. The classes and the S. U.B. are just as aware of student social desires and equally capable of carrying them out. In recogn1zing the importance of Student Government, we should also realize the significance of an effective Student Government President. As in any election, your choice is represented by a vote for the candidate you support. Please vote. Zahorney Looks To Future HOWIE STARK ' '' ·i::; ... ~..- »,,.~4 :,,,.,,?~~~ ~ 't'is EDZABORNEY It is my opinion that an effective Student Government President must have certain abilities and capabilities. He must be aware, sensitive to needs, able to listen, able to communicate, and able to direct. He needs, too, the resources with which to work, the cooperation of the faculty and administration, and most important, unity among the students. In past years, several proposals '· have been introduced to Student Government, along with ideas of my own that I feel would be of benefit to the students, but to date have not been implemented. Among these, I intend to pursue the adoption of a decimal grading system, the publication of course requirements and course descriptions, immunity :; from finals for the students having a , ·3 or 4 average in any particular course, the possibility of a " pass-fail " system for certain · courses, a survey of both residential and commercial parking which Wilkes students could take advantage of, and the physical improvements of the Student Union, possibly to the degree of abandoning Church Hall and constructing a new facility - this concept at least requires consideration and planning for the not so immedia te future. It is not my intention to promise implementation of all of the above • proposals within the next year. Realistically, no candidate should make promises to such an effect. However, I do feel that these are strong and sound concepts which must be actively pursued now. And with your support, improvements such as these can become an actuality. ~~-✓ ~ Security Guard Catches Suspect A suspect recently was apprehended for allegedly trying to break into Susquehannock Hall through a side door. Andrew Adams, the guard from Del-Cap detective agency, apprehended the youth when he was making his routine check. The suspect was caught with his belt unbuckled and his pants open. Adams took the suspect to the security desk located in the lobby of Pickering Hall where guard Andrew Pappas notified ·Al . Foderaro , Assistant Director of Housing, of the incident and then notified police who later arrested the suspect for the previous charges. The suspect had an unofficial Wilkes ID in his possession, but investigation revealed that he is not a Wilkes student. At a hearing before City Magistrate John Bednarz, the suspect said that he only wanted a Coke and was trying to get into the building. Bednarz turned the case over to the grand jury, where it is pending trial. In an inter,view with Foderaro, he said, " Wilkes has been troubled with people just hanging around and with the capture and publicity it will show the public the good working security force that we have."

However, in the quarters, Montclair's Rich Numa beat him 25-7. Drained Dry By Jim Sanders �THE BEACON March 13, 197 2 JOHN CARROLL NUMBER ONE TWO CHAMPIONS; NO TITLE BY PAUL DOMOWITCH · LOOKING DOWN ON THE REST-Colonel matman Jim Weisenfluh is pictured on the awards platform, after capturing the NCAA Division III 167-pound championship. 'Flub just missed capturing the "outstanding wrestler" award at the tourney, which was won by Montclair's Nabil Guketluv. The stage was set for the history-making climax. All that was to be done was to carry out the plan, as it had been laid out. Sure, there would be a few stumbling blocks. John Carroll and Montclair would make things interesting, but in the end, it would be the Wilkes Colonels blasting their way to a second straight NCAA Division III wrestling crown. A funny thing happened on the way to the championship though. The Colonels were upset. Eight Blue and Gold matmen made it to Friday night's quarterfinal round however, and it appeal'ed things were indeed working out as planned. But three hours later, with the quarters being history, only four Wilkesmen remained, and the Colonels far back in the·team standings. . , At the conclusion of the next afternoon's semi-finals, 158-pounder Gene,Ashley, and 167 pounder Jim Weisenfluh stood alone as the only two Wilkes survivors to make it to the championship finals that night. Both Ashley and Weisenfluh went on to capture their first national titles, but something was missing from the glim and glitter that goes with winning it, and that was another team crown for Wilkes, to compliment the duo's individual feats. It's over now, and what is done is done, but the hurt and disappointment for John Reese, and t~e eight who fell by the wayside, will linger on for quite a while longer. Tough Break For Chak . For John Chakmakas, the pill is that much harder to.take. He had been to the top last year, and won it all. But_in 1975 Chak met his Waterloo against Montclair's Vinnie Tundo in the semi-finals, where he lost 4-0. It took a while for the loss to sink in, but as he struggled through the consolations half-heartedly, his face revealed the bitter · disappointment inside him. . And when it came time for tfie placewinners to stand upon the awards podium, John felt awkward bemg four levels down instead of at the top, where he had stood proudly one year ago. Al Schare; too, will never get the chance to right the wrong suffered there, since he, like Chakmakas and Ashley are seniors. But Scharer knew the road would be rugged, with "Jo-Jo" Betolone, the 340 pound heavyweight from John Carroll waiting for him if he ever did indeed make the finals. . For Lonny Balum Mike Kassab Greg MacLean, Dave Gregrow and. Bruce Lear, there will be other seasons, and other tourname~ts. They all p~ssess a tremendous amount of talent, and will be making quite a bit o~ noise next season. Balum and Kassab perhaps could have won it all this year, but for one point losses m the quarterfinals, while MacLean and Gregrow are still a season away from jelling. Preefer Comes Through · • One of the biggest stories for the Colonels however, was curly-haired sophomore Roy Preefer, who placed third · at 118 pounds. Last September, Preefer was regarded as John Reese's third string lightweight behind national rutmerup Rick Mahonski, and freshman Frank Stellatella. But Mahonski never made it to the mats due to injury, andStellatella could not make weight (although Preefer could beat him). So that left Roy, and what a job he did. He ripped apart opponent after opponent after being selected the fifth seed in the tourney, until he went up against Montclair's Nabil Guketluv in the semi's. Ashley and Weisenfluh did not lose to the best. They were the best last weeKenct, and their performances proved that point. Gino had a close call in the semi's, pulling it out against St. Lawrence's Mitch Brown in the final 20 seconds, but his 5-2 decision over Oswego's Ed Pucci in the finals, closed out Ashley's Division III career on a happy note. Weisenfluh perhaps, is one of the best wrestlers in the nation, Division I, II, or III. But he is prone to mistakes, and John Reese was on the edge of his seat during 'Fluh's final round ·match until the final second had ticked away, and Jim had it won. He may surprise lot of people at the University-Division nationals this weekend. a Dad There To See Gino Win Title The last few weeks h~ -;e been quite exciting for Gene Ashley. It began on February 28, when Gino's wife, April, gave birth to ~ baby boy_in a N_ew Jersey hospital; two days after the 158-pounder won his second con~ecutive Middle Atlantic Conference title. And last Saturday, the excitement continued to mount when Ashley brought home a national Division III mat title. For Gino the wrestler, the personal satisfaction of it all is beyond the realm of e;planation. Since he began wrestling nearly ten years ago, his dream had been to become a national champion. A year ago he came within one win of doing just that. But unfortunately, he was defeated in the '. 1974 NCAA finals by Jim Fallis of Lake Superior State College. Fallis went on to become the tournament's outstanding wrestler, and Gino was forced to settle for second best. This season however, the quest ended in Cleveland, Ohio, where Ashley rolled over fi;e opponents en route to the 158 pound crown, beating Ed Pucci of Oswego State, 5-2 in Saturday night's finals. For Gino, the family man, it was a proud moment, as well. "I want to have done something, so I can prove to my son when he grows up, that I was a wrestler," Ashley said jokingly. But all joking aside, there is a lot of truth in that statement. Gene Ashley is a proud man, and a man to whom respect means a great deal. In his new role as a father, as well as a husband, accomplishments mean a lot to him. He wants his family to be proud of him, and winning a national title is one way to accomplish a portion of that. There was a familiar face in the John Carroll gymnasium crowd last weekend. Unfamiliar to most, perhaps, but to Ashley, it was a face he knew very well; a face he respected as much as he hopes his son Benjamin will himself someday. It was Gino's father, James Ashley, who had-travelled all the way from his home in New Jersey to see his son wrestle in the tournament. Immediately after winning his final match Saturday, Gino headed away from the mat, in the direction of the crowd. ,Coach John Reese stood in his corner puzzled as to where he was going, but seconds later, he found the answer, the elder Ashley appeared out of the crowd and put his arm proudly around his son. · His father will watch him wrestie once again this weekend in the NCAA University-Division tournament up in Princeton, New Jersey. But this time the trip won't be as long for Jim Ashley. TEN CHAMPIONS-These are the ten collegii(ns who won individual titles at John Carroll University in Cleveland. Gene Ashley and Jim Weisenfluh, the two lone Colonel victors, are shown in the back row on the far left. So Gino won a national championship last weekend in Cleveland for four people. He won it for himself, and the satisfaction of knowing that he is the best. He won it for his wife, April, whom he loves. He won it for his father, whom he respects. And he wort it for his new born son, who someday will be proud of his "daddy", in more ways than one. When Benjamin is five years old, and another youngster approaches him and says boastfully, "my daddy is a policeman, what's yours? Little Benjy can look him squarely in the eye and answer in reply, "My daddy was a national champion." -DOMOWITCH- Wildcard · Selections Are Named Montclair 's Vince Tundo, and Oswego State's Ed Pucci were selected as the two wild card selections from the NCAA Division III tournament in Cleveland, to accompany the ten individual champions to this weekend's University-Division confab in Princeton, New Jersey. Under a new NCAA ruling, the Division III coaches are allowed to select two wrestlers in the tourney other than the ten champs, for a pair of at large berths. This now gives Division III 12 wrestlers in the Division I confab, instead of the ten they had a season ago. Tundo, only a freshman, surprised everyone last weekend, by knocking off def_gnding champion John Chakmakas in the 134-pound semi-finals. In the championship round however, he was less fortunate; succumbing to John Carroll's Mark Hawald-Cale, by a 3-2 decision. Pucci also made it to the finals, but was beaten by the Colonel's Gene Ashley 5-2 in the 158-pound title match. Pucci lost to Ashley during the dual season, 3-2, when the pair squared off up in New York State. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It seems as if the effort of filing a standardized questionnaire for each class was not in vain, even though some students 1completed as many as seven forms . The positive results of this endeavor can be detected daily . For example, as a result of the student evaluation many of the educators are presenting newly revised course outlines, listing the prescribed reading assignments and dates, the time of tests, the due dates of research papers and the time and place of make-ups . · In addition, a working relationship between students and teachers, regarding the return of examinations has been strengthened . Teachers, especially in the History Department, are returning graded blue books in a matter of days, whereas betore it was a question of weeks because of the lengthy essay answers . Comments, explaining the errors or excellence of tests, also have increased . Students are now more awar~ of the reasons behind their high . or low ratings _ ~ In other departments, tests do not tend to overlap each other as previously, enabling in- dividuals to know their status before proceeding to take anoth er quiz . Reading materials in many of the disciplines also have improved to the best of our knowled ge. Instead of battling through thick volumes of tiny print, students can page through texts without fear of eyes.train because of increased teacher consideration . Authors of textbooks and outside readings seem to be selected by the instructors with more care, enhancing student interest in each program , we believe. Teachers are relating theories to evervdav experiences more than in the past. For examr>le . drama directors such as Al Groh and Jay Fields and drama teachers as Dr . Charlotte Lord are makin g personal attempts to view Broadway and off-Broadway plays and to parti c ipate in drama seminars in the U.S. and abroad . This in itself may or may not be beneficial to the students, depe ndin g how the knowledge is employed in the classroom. However, it is good to see th ese professors bringin g their dail y and weekend theater experien ces back to their students, explainin g the signifi can ce of current plays and their importance to course work . Teachers generally are well prepared for th_e classroom experi ence . Wh ereas some of our fac ulty mem be rs m ere ly rambl ed t hrough bundles of note cards , compil ed years before, presentin g nea rl y id entical lectures each time the course was condu cted, they now appear to be res pondin g to suggestions and changing or experimenting with new tec hniques, making the same thematic points. Another manner in which Wilkes teachers have responded to student opinions regarding practical experience is the establishment of practicums . We feel this is a fine way in which to extend formal " book learning" to a useful career . By making contacts outside of the classrooms and dormitories, students can acquire a deeper understanding of the world at large by experiencing it before commencement . Similarly, students are replying to the obvious good _alterations with increased attendance in many classes, better understanding of individual majors, and a new outlook on education . Unfortunately, some teachers failed to distribute evaluation sheets last semester or refused to study them in detail. As a resµlt , we feel that the students were not treated fairly nor given the · courtesy of consideration. Perhaps these teachers eventually will meet the students half-way in the attempt to accelerate, to enhance, and to fortify our educational experience at Wilkes. On the other ha-n d, those students whci failed to make their opinions known or composed untruthful responses to the evaluation questions are just as much to blame for the drawbacks prevalent ir. some courses. , We have gained much from the student teacher-evaluation here at Wilkes. We hope that this growing process will become a universal habit at 1-he school , achieving 100 percent participation . from students and faculty . Beacon ___ .. ____ .. Andy Petyak Epitor in Chief .

E LECTION (From Page 1) TUITION (From Page 1) Federal Government requires that the college upgrade all its existing buildings by improving the wiring, installing fire doors, sprinkler systems, and enclosing stairways, using wire glass which costs the college $1-million. Since this did not fall under the federal flood fund program the college had to treat this as an out-of-pocket expense. This has brought high interest and amortization rates, until the completed work is approved by federal officials. Wilkes must bear this unexpected expense and wait for reimbursement until then. The tuition rates for the past four years were: 1971-$1700; 1972-$1850; 1973-$1850; and 1975-$2000. Keeping track of 13 inter-collegiate sports and performing other various duties is not an easy task for one person. But George Pawlush, Wilkes' Sports Information Director (SID ) and Assistant Director of Public Relations, has to d~ exactly that. Although the job is demanding, Pawlush enjoys every bit of his work.

Mak es Them Shudder 11911'•1!■ B y Jim Sanders · '·· A DATE WITH DESTINY Jim Stehle has a destiny with greatness awaiting him soon. In just a few short years, some major league baseball team is going to be paying Jim an awful lot of money for doing what he does best-throwing a baseball. And last season left little doubt that the blond southpaw can do that with the best of them. As a freshman a year ago on the Colonel pitching staff, Jim averaged an amazing 13.8 strikeouts for every nine innings pitched, and amassed an ERA of 1.00! Pitching 45 innings during the season, Stehle limited the opposition to a meager 13 hits. Jim's only flaw was a case of wildness, which saw him walk a batter every 1.3 mnings. But working under the watchful eye of assistant coach Bob Duliba, a former major league hurler himself, Stehle's lack of control appears to be a thing of the past, from what we have observed thus far. Stehle's teammates kid him about his control now and then. Just the other day, he turned to Duliba and asked him how many pitches to throw. Duliba gave him a number. which in actuality would simulate three innings of a regular ballgame and Jerry Bavitz, who was catching Jim, responded, "That's only one inning in a game he pitches." Ribbing like this is as much a part of Stehle as his fastball. But everyone on the squad fully realizes that Stehle's arm, may very well be the key to the MAC throne room in 1975. his teammates kid him about someday playing major league ball, as well, and one incident last season is typical of how he responds to the playful jabbing. Bavitz greeted him on the second floor of the college commons with a tennis ball, which he asked Stehle to "graph" for him. Jim promptly put one leg up on a chair, responded "Sure kid," took the ball and signed it, " Regards to a friend, Jim " Big Leaguer" Stehle. · I Qnce he takes to the mound, however,.J im is all business, and there is nothing funny about the way he throws a baseball. " He has gotten his rhythm down perfect," Duliba told us, " and if he remembers everything he has learned, he is going to be tough from here on in. The relationship between Stehle and " Ock" is more than just that of a player and a coach. Stehle has a tremendous amount of respect for .him, and has worked hard at picking up everything Duliba has taught him. For J im, "Ock" represents a type of father figure in a baseball uniform, and pleasing him means a lot. Duliba respects Stehle as well, and sees a tremendous amount of potential in him. Like a father, " Ock" would like to see Jim go farther in baseball, than even he himself did. He has helped him develop an excellent breaking ball, as well as aiding him improve his control, and is bringing him along, until there is nothing more that he can teach him. So, Stehle's date with destiny draws a step nearer with every game he pitches and until that date arrives, Wilkes College baseball fans are in for quite a show from " Big Leaguer.''.

If they with southpaw Jim Stehle, and . righthanded team capt<1in Paul Hughes back in force . Stehle is one of the hardest throwing hurlers in Wilkes history, with impressive first. year credentials backing up the big sophomore's ability. Last season, he was 3-2, but had a 1.00 ERA, and gave up only 13 hits in 45 innings pitched. Hughes also is an all-star prospect, and is capable of bettering 1974's 6-2 log. With cancellations and scheduling problems sure to plague the Colonel's in the latter stages of the season, a third starter will have to be chosen from veterans' Tony Schwab, and Jerry Bavitz, and fine looking newcomers Barry Harcnarufka, Andy Kresky, and Bill Hockenberry_. Finding stoppers in the bullpen is not going to be hard for Domzalski. With MAC all-star catcher Dave Paolinelli sitting out a semester, Domzalski is tinkering with the idea of switching first baseman Jack Keller to catcher. Keller, a junior, was a backstop in high school at Wyoming Valley West, and can F & M Tilt Draws Nearer Wilkes Stick,nen Scri,n,naging Lafayette College This Afternoon BY RICH CO LANDREA As the season opener draws closer for the Blue and Gold lacrossemen against highly touted Franklin and Marshall College, on April 1, coach Jon Holbrock has his squad hard at work ironing the wrinkles out of their offensive and defensive play. The stickmen have had three scrimmages under their belt thus far. After easily defeating Drexel and Dowling University, the Colonels were pounded by last year's eighth ranked team in the nation. Rutgers University last week. Wilkes was unable to put up a score. In fact, midfielder Craig Austin came the closest to scoring as he managed to muster up a shot that hit the post. ..• ,,v., •. The game provided high calibre competition for Wilkes as they saw that their power scoring attack can be stopped. The Colonels have two more scrimmages on tap this week, as they travel to Lafayette today and host Ithaca College Saturday~ So far, it looks as if the scoring ~ombinations of Billy Winter, Gary Geishen and Bob Armstrong will provide most of the fire . power. Winter led the nation in scoring last year and Geishen was rated 12th in the college-division. Armstrong came into his own last year, and his hustle should add tallies. At midfield the Wilkesmen will utilize two lines. The first is made up of juniors Craig Austin, Kurt Franke and Bruce Davis. Davis, a transfer from Bowling Green University, had to sit out last year because of NCAA rules, but is eligible this season and will be an asset. Bruce is quick and deceptive, and can break most any MAC defense, which should arouse fans. Austin , a steady and knowledgeable player is joined by Franke. The other midfield consists of co-captain John Malatrus, Nick Lozorak and Vince Krill. Malatrus, who is called " Extra Large" by his teammates, is not afraid to mix it up with the opposition. He is big and strong and has perhaps the hardest shot on the team. Vince Krill is again (Continued on Page 7) ·Brabant Selected To All-MAC -S quad Junior cager Jack Brabant made it two in a row this past week, when he was once again selected to the Middle Atlantic Conference Northern-Division all-star squad's second team. With the exception of Brabant however, the Colonels were comoletelv overlooked on both the first and second units, with the exception of Greg Buzinski, who received honorable mention in this, his final season as a collegiate cager. Named as first team selections were Don Williams of Juniata, a 6-5 junior• forward, Scranton combo Jack Maher and Paul Miernicki; and Philadelphia Textile's Emory Sammons, and Ed Hoban. Blue and Gold forward Clarence Ozgo obviously did not impress the MAC coaches enough, despite his team leading 16.3 point a game _ average. Brabant became the eighth Colonel cager in history to surpass the 1000 point plateau this season, when he hit the magic number against Elizabethtown College on Feb: 21. Presently, he has 1026 JACK BRABANT counter, with another year to ·go. Finishing the season with a 13.9 scoring average, Brabant cracked .the 20 point mark four times this year, with his highest point production coming against Lycoming, wben he hit for 23. He led the Colonels in rebounding with 198 during the year. · Joining Brabant on the MAC second team is Susquehanna's Dave Long (center), Upsala's Jim Hickey (center), Elizabethtown's Dan Woodward (forward), and Lycoming guard John DiMarco. afore mentioned Tony Schwab, and junior Chuck Suppon the main incwnbants.

McCarthy, who unsuccessfully sought the Democratic Presidential nomination in 1968 and 1972, will try one more time for the · Presidency - but this time as an independent. Appearing on the Wilkes campus Monday night as the final speaker in this year's Concert and Lecture Series, McCarthy assailed the Republican and Democratic , parties for "failing to address themselves to the important issues of the nation." "You can never expect much of the Republican Party," commented McCarthy. He sees his native Democratic Party in similar difficulty in 1976. "The Democrats will either come up with a wholly unacceptable candidate or a compromise candidate not fully in touch with the nation's problems." McCarthy sUIJlJl'Ulrized his views on the two parties this way: "If one party could nominate Nitpn twice and the other party couldn't beat him, then that indicates that the two party system is not working right." Rather than jump into the already-crowded field for the Democratic nomination and slug it out in a string of primary elections, McCarthy will bide his time until the November election in 1976 and carry the banner of the Committee for a Constitutional Presidency. He hopes to have his independent party placed on the ballots of all 50 states. From indications he gave Monday night, the 1976 McCarthy campaign will be somewhat unorthodox. For example, he will not have a Vice Presidential running mate. "Vice Presidential candidates only clutter up the campaign and confuse the issues," he stated. He hopes to have the Electoral College pick his Vice President when it meets in December, 1.976. Although his campaign techniques are a little lighthearted, McCarthy is serious when it comes to the issues of the campaign. �jTHE BEACON The Doctor la Hopeful . _ 'Phihes' Feels Colonels Are·Playoff Material BY RICH COLANDREA ·Colonel Tennis Squads Face 'B usy Weekend Sports ·Calendar ....................

Williams tagged the nickname on himself because he fee'ls "there is an avuncular relationship between the teacher and the student." However, ,some students who have had Econ. 101 or 102 with Williams have made up their own nicknames. On the whole, though, Williams seems to get along well with his students in the classroom, and probably out of the classroom as well. Several of his former students admit being in his class can be a lot of fun. At one time he held an election in which students voted for the person who most deserved to be named " Nerd of the Year," " Nerd of the Decade," and "Mega Nerd.'' Some of the responses were very strange @ to say the least. But so were some of drop period is too long. "It's not a his students. good policy/' stated Williams.

Stn.ct En1.orcement Of Wilkes Campus Parking Regulations ~ BYMARIANNEMONTAGUE Parking is, without a doubt, a major problem on the Wilkes College campus. Where to park, how to park, when to park and how to avoid all the trouble of parking are questions that are constantly with the student motorist. Compoi'.mded to the difficulty of just finding a parking space is the worry of getting a ticket for parking in a prohibited zone. And for the Wilkes student every parking space on campus is a prohibited zone. Mr. Charles Abate, Business Manager, explained the reasoning behind such strict parking rules. He pointed out that the student handbook states there is no student p~king ~~d on campus. This means that if a student brings his car to school, he must traveled number of students in the charging the students," he conarrange for off-campus parking. car ha;dship cases, and cases of eluded.

The student elections seem to lack a certain responsibility . Issues and candidates tend to be vague about things and the rules which govern campus elections, such as those concerning campaigning, are not generally known . This can lead to complications as happened in the recent IDC election. What is worse is the amount of student participation in elections . If you compare the number of el igible voters with the number of actual voters, the results can be shocking . The majority of students just don't bother to vote . This can make an election a farce. A bad candidate could win an election simply by securing a large enough block of voters in his circle of friends . This is especially possible in the elections for lower offices and tha.block needed could be as little as .20 votes. Student Government recently formed an Election and Publicity Committee to better publicize future elections . Perhaps the committee could al so draw up a definite list of election regulations and brief all candidates before campaign ing begins, and any late candidates as well. The students themselves must change the voting habits at Wilkes . Instead of complaining about the people in charge of your organizations , vote for the one you think is best.

It was a haven for some much needed foresight-hindsight-insight on campus. In this age of supertechnology, artistic endeavors seem to get lost in the shuffle.

Decision To the Editor : I would like to point out that the I.D.C. election and any election here after have just been made a farce due to the ruling by Student Government concerning Guy "Pinky" DiZebba. The ruling declared Pink)' ineligible to run for I.D.C. President because of the trivial matter of-putting up signs in the wrong place and manner. Our so-called Student Government representatives must have made up · their minds on how they were going to vote prior to the meeting. During the voting one person approached the chair and admitted that he put up the signs for Pinky without Pinky's knowledge. It was J also pointed _out . that there ~re several fallacies m the campaign , regulations distributed by Student Government. Still Pinky was declared ineligible.

Student Government was planning the concert in cooperation with Fang Productions. It is for this reason that the administration has decided to put its foot down. Dean Baltruchitis presented three arguments against the concert. First,. the administration did not like the idea of a concert being held on campus the weekend 11 before finals. Second, the administration was not prepared to " hack out" financial matters with Fang Productions. Third, the administra-,· tion felt it- necessary to watch the outcome of the upcoming Frankie Valli concert, which is being The Wilkes College Department of promoted by Fang.

Play Production Highlighted By Versatile Acting " Love will conquer all' was the i:nessage conveyed by the cast of "The Canterbury Tales" in an excellent production of that play last weekend. A musical comedy, the play was rich with humor and good music. While the entire cast performed exceptionally well, John Cardoni, Pat Wright and Cathy Roccograndi stole the show. Holding a major role in three of the four tales presented, John Cardoni was most effective in each one. He played the part of an innocent squire, adulterous student, a non-adulterous-but-not-so-innocent student and a young knight with TO JOIN PARENTS-Wilkes freshman Steven DeGroote has a personal equal ease.

Bob Considine, one of the best and most famous newspaper columnists, will address the Class of 1975. In the event of inclement weather, Considine will address the graduates in the Kingston Armory. A few specific details, which apply to all graduates, are essential to ensur·e proper scheduling and planning. First, graduates are asked by the college to appear at Ralston Field in their caps and gowns on May 25 no later than 12:30 p.m. Graduates are asked to form in the blacktop parking area on the knoll adjacent to the dressing room at Ralston Field. The college requests that parking will be permitted in the Students Receive Awards BY MARIANNE MONTAGUE designated area and not to bring cars in the blacktop area where the graduates will convene. For the Commencement activities, . where caps and gowns are worn, it is requested that both men and women wear dark conservative clothing and dark f.hoes. The graduate need not return the cap and gown. Every degree candidate must go to the Bookstore by May 2 to be measured for the caps and gowns. They may then be picked up at any time prior to the Commencement week. Announcements concerning graduation are available · at the Bookstore. Each graduate is entitled to six announcements, but additional announcements may be pw-chased. Those potential graduates, who have reason to doubt their attaining satisfactory academic standing, should be fully aware, and should avoid making plans that could cause embarrassment. Dean George Ralston requests students to see him.

Cherry Blossom Success Cherry Blossom Festival was held last weekend and it was a smashing success. Saturday was a beautiful day and the carnival set up on the River Common provided a day of fun. It is only too bad that the weather did not hold up on Sunday as well. Those who planned the carnival worked hard at it and they deserve the thanks of everyone who attended it. George Pawlish, J.ane Matalavage, Ann Marie Ramonowich, and all students involved did a fine job. It was well planned and organized and that is what makes such an event a success. Such activities are always appreciated and it's too bad we don't have many more like it on campus. THE BEACO" May 8, 1975 _Letter~ T~ The Editor . Sen10r Quest10ns Worth Of Four years· To the Editor: As graduation approaches and I look back at and re-examine the experiences of my four years of study at Wilk~s College, I realize that I have learned an awful lot about many things. One question then arises : was it worth it? I learned much in the field of study I chose and I am grateful for this. Wilkes has some of the best educators in their fields and so is able to provide its students with a quality education - most of the time. There are a few ·professors who know litUe about what they are supposed to teach and they show it. I also learned that economics what matters.

Tomorrow evening's annual Wilkes College athletic banquet in the school cafeteria, will bring down the curtain on another year of athletics at the coll,ege. The festivities will begin with a dinner, and conclude with the presentations of trophies and awards to the athletes by the coaches. It has been quite a year on the athletic scene at the college, with both success and disappointment marking the exploits of 13 inter-collegiate teams. The figures show seven of those thirteen turnini:1: in winning seasons, and three; the football, wrestling, and lacrosse teams winning conference crowns. But there is much more to athletic competition than just winning, and the phrase " either come home carrying your shield in victory, or comt: , home ·on it" is not indicative of the individual athlete at Wilkes, or their respective teams. Athletics has always taken a backseat to academics a the college, and that is certainly how it should be. There are no David Thompson's or Anthony Davis' among the two hundred or more athletic participants, and for the Wilkes College sportsman, life and death does not hinge on his performance on the athletic field. Keeping that in mind, we can see why the personal reward is just as fulfilling to someone like swimmer Dave Kowalek for winning the 200 hundred yard freestyle in a dual meet as it was for Gene Ashley winning a national title. Goals and expectations are set, and when they are reached or surpassed, no matter how big or how small, it makes the hours of sweat and 1>erseverance well worth it. Reflecting on the past year, we can note several examples of the'big and the small, separate in talent, but similar in their pursuits. It began last September on the Ralston Field gridiron. With the rain coming down by the bucketloads, the Wilkes gridders had their high hopes of national recognition washed away by an awesome c.w. Post football U111t, 44-6. Picking themselves up, and drying themselves out, coach Roland Schmidt's team improved with every game, and clinched their first Middle Atlantic Conference championship in nearly a half decade on the last day of the season, beating Albright 14-10. It was a season that saw the Colonels often times play only as well as it took to win, but in that Albright contest, with the Colonel defense cracking the Lion "wishbone," the sweat and the bruises payed off. The swim team's goals did not include an MAC title or national recognition. Under the guidance of vibrant head coach Rick Marchant, interest in the sport blossomed at the college, and the future appears bright for a sport that, a year earlier, was a few steps away from extinction . Possessing a spirit and a desire that was second to none; the wins did not surpass the losses, but the pride in their accomplishmel!ts was none the less measurable to that of the MAC champion gridders. There were several near misses in primary goal achievement, as was the case with the wrestlers, who did not win a second straight national title, and the basketball and baseball teams, who did not win the long awaited and hoped for MAC title. But struggle and perseverance along the way reaped personal satisfaction, and a pride; pride in themselves and a pride i,n their team made it all worth while, despite not acnieving that primary goal. So, tomorrow night in · the cafeteria, a few hundred Wilkes College athletes will be paid tribute for their accomplishments over the past year. While athletics may play second fiddle to academics at the school, and no one will probably ever go on to a star-studded professional career, " the pride of being a part" will be felt by everyone of those athletes, when the applause rings through the building. Tomorrow there will be no distinction between the winners and the also rans. Everybody will be recognized as what they t~y are: a Wilkes College athlete. Take a bow.
