Vaccine booster shot "clinic held at Wilkes University
By Genny Frederick
News Editor

The City of Wilkes-Barre held a clinic to
provide qualified residents an opportunity
to receive the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine
booster. The clinic was held in the McHale
Athletic Center on Oct. 28 and members
of the community, as well as members of
the university, took advantage of the event.
The clinic comes after the Food and
Drug Administration approved boosters
for both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines.
Boosters can be administered six months
after the original vaccine except in the case
of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, in
which boosters can be administered after
two months. According to the FDA, people
65 years of age and older, 18 through
64 years of age at high risk of severe
COVID-19 and 18 through 64 years of age
with frequent institutional or occupational
exposure to SARS-CoV-2 are eligible
to receive the vaccine. The Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention also gives
similar guidelines, but adds that anyone
18 and older who lives in long-term care
settings or who have underlying medical
conditions are recommended to receive
the vaccine.
Because COVID-19 can be transmitted
quickly across college campuses, students
at Wilkes are able to receive the vaccine.
Some students took advantage of the
booster as soon as it was available.

The Beacon/ Genny Frederick

Chris Sickle, sophomore political science
major, was at the clinic and eager to receive
the booster.
"I got an email from the school saying
that they were doing the booster and the
closest day was today;' said Sickle. "I want
to get my booster now because I'm eligible
for it now:'
The most recent reports from the CDC

state that 192.0 million Americans have
been fully vaccinated, and 16. 7 million
people have received the booster.
Dr. Kendall Tucker, assistant professor
of pharmacy practice, advised students
who are considering the vaccine.
"Boosters
are
not
currently
recommended for the general public who
do not meet certain criteria as laid out by

the CDC:' said Tucker. "Wilkes students
should only consider getting a booster shot
if they are eligible based on the Centers
for Disease Control criteria which are
available on the CDC.gov website:•
While guidelines are still in place to
receive the booster, other approvals can
make it more convenient to receive the

for the community and the student-athletes.
This was week one of two, and the request
will be voted on next week.
The second order of business was a request
for the Accounting and Business Club to be
reactivated. The presentation was given by
Professor Anuradha Ghai. The only businessrelated club at Wilkes as of right now is the
Finance Club and the members of the club
use this as a way to be more inclusive for all
business majors. They plan for the club to
offer networking opportunities for members
and look to provide services for the Wilkes
community. This was week one of two, and
the request will be voted on next week.

vaccine if eligible. The 'mix and match'
approach allows boosters from either
Moderna or Pfizer, regardless of the original
vaccine received.
"The allowance of mixed vaccine boosters
will certainly have an impact on the amount
of people who receive boosters;' said Tucker.
"It makes boosters available to previously
high-risk populations that may not have
been eligible based on the type of vaccine
they received, while also bypassing some
vaccine supply limitations:'
While the ability to receive boosters is a
step toward the ending of the pandemic,
the CDC and other groups are primarily
focused on ensuring that a high percentage
of the population has been fully vaccinated.
With new approvals of vaccines for children
and teens in effect, this goal is even more
possible.
While there may be concern about
administering vaccines to children, Tucker
explained the safety of the vaccines.
"The COVID-19 vaccines were tested
in clinical trials to ensure that they meet

certain safety standards including prior to
emergency use authorization for children;
said Tucker. ''Additionally, millions of doses
of vaccines have been given nationally and
are subject to long-term safety monitoring.
In terms of vaccination, these new vaccines
have much more safety data available to
them at this point in the process compared
to historical vaccines:'
The focus on vaccinating a high percentage
of the population is also a goal at Wilkes.
Currently, 85.9 percent of individuals on
campus have been fully vaccinated.
The clinics being held on campus assist
the overall mission of the University to keep
everyone healthy in light of the pandemic.
Community member John Mellon came
to the clinic when he heard about it from
his wife.
'Tm just thankful that they're here for
myself and for society:' said Mellon. "I do
have the booster and I'm trying to do my
part for society:'
Students can sign up to receive a booster
shot on either Monday, Nov. 8 or Friday,
Nov. 12. Appointments are required.

Barron's in Education hosts career fair for Wilkes students
By Jake Maskulyak
Staff Writer

Students recently had the opportunity
to participate virtually in the Barron's in
Education Career Fair. Attending students had
the opportunity to pick and choose different
conferences and meetings over the course
of the two days, with several varying topics
available to choose from.
Barron's in Education is set up to provide
quality experiences for students, specifically
by introducing students to real-world business
information and analysis that can help prepare
them for the professional business atmosphere.
The program gives students the opportunity to
meet with high-level professionals in the field
across Barron's community, further preparing
them for the real world of business.
Senior accounting and corporate finance
major Jessica Smith was happy about the
event. The sessions that interested her included
"The Importance of Networking &amp; How to Do
it Right;' courtesy of Mary Hirthler, Wealth
Advisor at Jacobi Capital Management and the
panel "Women in Finance:'
"Career fairs like that hosted by Barron's
are a one-of-a-kind resource given to students
who are looking for career opportunities
and advice;' said Smith. "I am so glad that
Barrons was able to host this year's first Virtual
Career Fair as their sponsoring firms provide
incredible perspectives into the finance

industry for business students, but also for any
individual interested to learn more:'
In the section on "Diversity in the
Workplace;' students were able to hear about
changes coming in the industry in terms
of equality and diversity. Speakers in this
section talked about what their companies
were doing to try and reach underrepresented

and minority groups as well as how to better
prepare all potential candidates in the business
world for the ever-changing climate.
Junior corporate finance major Nick Kinzler
was sure to add that the Barron's career air was
open to all students from all majors.
"The Career Fair was open to anyone, no
matter what major they were or what topics

they were interested in, but the firms that
hosted informational sessions were related to
the business field:'
Financial topics are not an uncommon
conversation among college students, and the
notion that all students could participate and
gain valuable education from this event was
something very important to Kinzler.
Students are still adjusting to newer online
types of career fairs like this one put on by
Barron's. Career fairs like this, however, are
what Dean of the Sidhu School ofBusiness and
professor Dr. Abel Adekola says are preparing
students for newer opportunities like this in
the real world.
"In general, the drawback is that if students
are not well prepared for this new type of
virtual recruitment, it could be challenging;'
said Adekola. "The good thing, however, is that
our Sidhu School students are well prepared to
face such challenges as a result of the series of
four courses they take from our personal and
professional development (PPD) program,
which are actually designed to get them ready
for such challenges in the job market':
The contents of the career fair provided
students with real insight into what is going
on in the field. For more information on

The

Study Buddy tutoring program helps local elementary students
By Genny Frederick
News Editor
Members of the Wilkes University Reading
Buddies Program. in partnership with the
Civic Engagement Office, have spent this
semester organizing and planning to help
increase literacy in area children.
Monica Morrison, a 2020 Wilkes graduate
in psychology, is the AmeriCorps VISTA
Coordinator of the Wilkes Reading Buddies
Program. Each VISTA participant does one
year of service to help toward eradicating
poverty. While also attending Misericordia
University to get a master's degree in
occupational therapy, Morrison has spent
the semester planning, organizing and
launching the Reading Buddies Program.
"We want to decrease poverty by increasing
literacy one child at a time;' said Morrison.
AmeriCorps VISTA is a federally funded
program meant to fight the challenges
in the United States through service and
v9lunteering. It was established in 1993 by
the Clinton Administration.
Morrison cited FutureReady, PA Index
from 2018 which said 80.2 percent of students
in the Wilkes-Barre area are economically
disadvantaged. Along with this, Morrison
also noted that the Literacy Project from
2019 reports that one in four children grow
up without learning how to read.
For Wilkes students, helping the
community comes in 30 minute sessions.
College tutors meet with students in first

through fourth grades in one-to-one group
tutoring sessions for 30 minutes at a time.
"Each session is what each college student
tutor makes of it;' said Morrison. "The
sessions typically last for 30 minutes and
begin with some type of mindfulness or
movement based activity for about 10 to 15
minutes and ends with various educational
hands-on activities and reading games to get
children moving and to keep the session fun
and engaging. We have a lot of fun each week,
and we try to keep tutoring fun with games
like Beach Ball Tosses, Red Light Green Light
Reading and Go Fish card games:•
Billy Costner, senior management major,
goes to sessions often.
"During the sessions we usually will talk to
the kids and ask how their day is going, help
them with their homework, and if we finish
their homework we will do reading and
math activities with them to get them more
confident and comfortable doing their work
on their own;' said Costner.
This is not the first semester the program
has been active. Morrison continued the
project that was begun by the previous
AmeriCorps VISTA. It was when this VISTA
talked to Morrison's CAR 398 class that she
was interested in continuing it.
"I wanted to continue this literacy project
established by the previous VISTA to help
mend an issue I was passionate about;'
said Morrison. "It seemed like a perfect
opportunity to contribute time and service to
an existing need within the local community

while simultaneously ga1mng leadership
experience and professional development."
Sara Urena, first-year psychology major,
was interested in joining the program to help
students.
"My passion for teaching others and
helping students thrive and become a better
version of themselves;' said Urena.
Costner explained that helping students
with homework is something important to
him.
"Growing up, I would often need extra
help with homework and school and I know
how much a role model can truly help with
your academics and work ethic as you get
older:'
The program also helped Morrison gain
more experience for her career.
"The VISTA program is an incredible
opportunity for recent college graduates
looking to gain real-life experiences,
transitioning to graduate school or still
figuring out what they would like to do in
the future;' said Morrison. "For myself, this
program has been an amazing experience to
gain experience working with and tutoring
children while earning my master's degree
in occupational therapy, hoping to continue
working with children as an OT.'
While Morrison enjoys working for the
program, she acknowledges that sometimes
there are challenges. Changing plans,
communication mishaps, slow feedback
and COVID can all be causes for stress, but
she and the other tutors handle them well,

explaining, "We know we are working for
a good cause so when a setback occurs, we
keep our eyes focused forward and move
onto the next thing:'
Urena thinks the program is off to a good
start.
"The kids are very sweet and respectful;'
said Urena. "I feel like we have a pretty nice
plan for the sessions and have an organized
environment to work with the kids.
While students across campus have
volunteered for the program, Morrison
thinks there are some things other students
may not know.
"I think people should know that in
general, Reading Buddies is a very rewarding
experience," said Morrison. "The children
benefit immensely from spending time with
successful college students who want to be
there for them:'
Any student who wants to volunteer time
for the Reading Buddies program should
reach out to Monica Morrison or check their
Instagram page @wureadingbuddies.
According to Morrison, the time spent in
the program is not only teaching.
"Our tutors are not only helping children
academically, but socially and emotionally
as well;' said Morrison. "The children really
look up to the tutors and the simple act of
being present for the children each week has
a significant impact on these children:•

Dr. Ellen Newell resents lecture to Barre Scholars

By Maddy Kinard

Assistant News Editor

Social psychologist and associate
professor of psychology Dr. Ellen Newell
was welcomed last Thursday as the first
professor to be part of the Barre Scholars
lectures on research and opportunities
beyond undergraduate schooling.
Barre Scholars was created last year
with the goal of identifying highperforming students and providing them
with more opportunities and avenues.
As part of these extra opportunities, the
program has created a lecture/Q&amp;A series
in which professors are invited to speak
on their journey to becoming researchers
and professors.
Led by Dr. Jonathan Kuiken, associate
professor of history and honors director,
Newell was prompted to begin by
explaining her personal interests and
subfields of study.
"My overall research interests are about
prejudice and discrimination on one side,
and stress on the other side," said Newell.
"What I'm really interested in is if you are
a target of discrimination, how do you
handle that? Are there good coping skills
that you have? Bad coping skills? I do this

Sordoni Art Gallery opens doors to newest exhibition
By AJ Rubino
Staff Writer

The Sordoni Art Gallery opened its new
exhibit "Juan Logan: Creating &amp; Collecting"
on Nov. 2. The exhibition originated at the
Hickory Museum of Art and is a memorial
of Dr. Roy E. Morgan.
The exhibition is free to the public and
runs until March 13. The exhibition will
close on Dec. 17 and reopen on Jan. 18
because of the semester's winter break.
"We are trying something new:' said
outreach coordinator Karley Stasko. "In the
past, we used that time to shift over, but it
created a problem mid-semester for setup
and break down:'
This gives plenty of time for students and
faculty to visit the exhibition as well and be
able to appreciate it.
Director of the Sordoni Art Gallery,
Heather Sincavage, looked into Juan Logan,
the main artist of the exhibition, in 2018 for
a different exhibition. Sincavage contacted
Logan to showcase his other works. At the
new exhibition, the works she could not get
at the 2018 exhibition will be present at this
one.
"The original showing of these items
were the Hickory Museum and we had the
opportunity to bring it here;' said senior
digital media and design arts major Alyssa
Roberts.
The exhibition showcases mixed media,
which is a visual art. Artwork that is mixed
media is when more than one thing or
materials are represented. Examples include
assemblages, collages and sculptures.
Logan's works communicate the
interconnections of race, place and power.
The American experience can be abstractly
or representationally described in his works.
These works shine light on how social
stereotypes shape people individually.
The mental and material landscapes of
contemporary life are also visible in his
works.
"He has done a whole series on just the
motif shape:' said Stasko. "He even has
done films that are viewed through that sort
oflens. It is a combination of his own facial
shape but also calling to mind the negative
stereotyping historically and today.''

The exhibition also conveys other
artworks that Logan has collected since
the 1970s. Logan has created a collection of
works from his friends and influences to his
own work.
The exhibition will share the dialogues
of Logan's own work with this collection.
Some influences are Jasper Johns, Claes
Oldenburg, Robert Motherwell and
Thornton Dial.
"In comparison to the other exhibitions,
these works are bigger;' said Roberts. "The
L'Esprit show had smaller pieces and now
these works are multiple feet long. The
gallery space feels fuller. I think it is really
cool:'
One of the pieces that are being shown
is Logan's painting, "Help Me, Save Me,
Love Me:' The painting is in regards to the
aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
"The interesting thing about that for the
most part was they wanted someone to help
them, to save them, as though they actually
loved them and took care of them;' said
Logan.
Logan explained that these images from
help efforts pertaining to Hurricane Katrina
did not represent what really went on. The
painting uses puzzle pieces that replicate a
stand-in for the masses queuing for safety.
The work itself represents Katrina as a larger
puzzle that had been taken apart and not
able to be put back together.
'i\ lot of these pieces that one made a lot
of the texture from are coming from found
objects:' said Stasko.
The art piece, "I'll Save You Tomorrow,' is
a great example of found objects. The piece
shows found receipts and tickets that are
embedded in the artwork.
"It is really bringing these found objects
together and transforming it into something
artistic as opposed to just junk;' said Stasko.
The artwork references the horrors
caused by the inaction of various groups
after Hurricane Katrina. The Red Cross is
referenced in the pieces, depicted by a veiled
cross. The veiled cross shows that the safe
haven they represent is masked and made
less immediately accessible, hence everyone
waiting outside is referred to in other pieces.
Though this piece is inspired by Hurricane
Katrina, this piece also speaks to the large

human experience of trauma and the desire
for help. The idea is that when one truly
needs help and the feeling of when help
cannot be offered when it is most needed,
one would offer the excuse, "I can not today
but I can help you tomorrow.'
Other than the exhibition, the Sordoni
Art Gallery will be hosting other events.
On Nov. 10 at 2:30 p.m. Sincavage will host
a director's tour. Sincavage will be discussing
Logan's symbolism and metaphors used in
his works that discuss issues facing Black
Americans today.
"I will be giving my own insight and
notations on the work represented;' said
Sincavage.
At noon on Nov. 20, the Sordoni Art
Gallery will host Family Hour: Coloring
George Catlin. This event will celebrate
NEPA artists that are inspired by nature.
Jan Lokouta will lead the coloring and
sketching workshop for children featuring
Wilkes-Barre's
own
George
Catlin.
Attendees will learn more about Catlin and
also immerse themselves in the exhibition.
Stasko will host the Art in Your Hands
workshop on Nov. 20 at 2 p.m. The workshop
will run for one hour and during the

workshop, attendees will create assemblage
pendants using upcycled vintage materials
and resin.
"This workshop is more hands-on than
the Coordinator's Tour;' said Stasko. "It gives
people the opportunity just for the love of it:'
The goal of the workshop is to give people
the skills and tools in hopes to continue on
in their own practice.
"Even if we don't give them the tools,
they still have a finished product that they
made themselves that they can take home;'
said Roberts. "It gives them something to
remember from the exhibition:'
Attendees will also learn about the
jewelry-making process and the power of
art trouve.
There is no opening reception for this
exhibition. However, there are plans to host
a closing reception in the spring when the
exhibition ends in March.
Spring events pertaining to this exhibition
have not been released yet, however, keep
an eye out for them on the Sordoni Art
Gallery's website and social media pages.

November delight: Doggy Delicacies' PB pumpkin biscuits
By Emlly Cherkauskas
Editor-in-Chief
November is here and the autumn
season is staying with us for a while.
What better way to fit the season than by
treating your pups to some peanut butter
pumpkin biscuits?
Ingredients:
3 cups of whole wheat flour
1 15 oz can of pure pumpkin puree
3 tablespoons of peanut butter
1 egg

Directions:
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees
Fahrenheit.
Mix together the pumpkin puree,
peanut butter and egg until the mix is
homogeneous, as it will make the next
step easier. Add the whole wheat flour and
mix together. You will most likely have to
mix the ingredients together at this part
due to the thickness of the mixture.
The dough should be moist and slightly
sticky but not sticky enough to leave bits
of mix on your hands. When everything
is mixed, move on to the next step.
Sprinkling some whole wheat flour on

a surface and a rolling pin, roll out the
dough until it reaches a thickness of about
1/2 inch. Use a cookie cutter or knife to
cut out shapes for the treats. I used pawprint and dog bone cookie cutters.
Continue cutting out shapes until you
run out of dough. Place the treats onto
ungreased parchment paper on a baking
sheet
Place into the oven and bake for about
35 to 40 minutes. To also check when
the treats are finished baking, stick a
toothpick or knife into the middle of a
treat and see if anything sticks to it.
When finished baking, place the treats
on a rack and let cool. Then, refrigerate
them.
Enjoy!

Notes:
When looking for the can of pumpkin

The cookie cutters I used can be found
from the likes of Amazon, Michaels, Etsy
or more.

Marvel Studios' new movie 'Eternals' coming to theaters soon
Students share their thoughts on the upcoming superhero film
By Morgan Rich
Staff Writer

Marvel
Studios'
new
movie
"Eternals" will be released in cinemas
Nov. 5, 2021. "Eternals" is film #26 in
the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)
and will be phase four of the MCU.
The movie will follow the events
of "Avengers: Endgame" when an
unexpected tragedy forces them out
of the shadows to reunite against
mankind's most ancient enemy, the
Deviants. ''Avengers: Endgame" is a
2019 American superhero film based
on the Marvel Comics superhero team,
the Avengers.
According to the MCU's official
website, "Eternals" features an exciting
new team of superheroes who are
immortal ancient aliens living on Earth
in secret for thousands of years."
The MCU is an American media
franchise that is centered around
superhero films produced by Marvel
Studios, a subsidiary of Walt Disney
Studios, with the films being based on
characters that appear in the American
comic books published by Marvel
Comics.
"Eternals" is based on a world created
in 1976 by Jack Kirby. The comics'
primary storyline revolves around
the Celestials creating two different
divergent races by performing genetic
experiments on proto-humans, which
are the long-lived Eternals and the
deformed Deviants. These experiments
were what led to superpower mutations
in humans.
The trailer for "Eternals" introduces
the film's main villain, Kro, who is the
warlord, general and dictator of the
Deviants. Kro is known as being one
of the first Earth Deviants ever created
and "Eternals" will be his movie debut.
The MCU is divided into distinct
sections that have broad storylines.
"Eternals" is the third film installment
in phase four. Phase four will feature all
of the Marvel Studios productions that
will be released from 2021-2023.
Phase four is also the first phase
to include television series with
"Wandavision" beginning the series,
which premiered on Disney Plus in
Jan. 2021. The films in phase four both
released and unreleased are "Black
Widow;' "Shang-Chi and the Legend

of the Ten Rings;' "Eternals," "SpiderMan: No Way Home;' "Doctor Strange
in the Multiverse of Madness;' "Thor:
Love and Thunder;' "Black Panther:
Wakanda Forever;' "The Marvels;'
"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3;' "AntMan and the Wasp: Quantumania" and
"Fantastic Four." The release schedule
for phase four was delayed due to
COVID-19.
Leaked promotional artwork hit
Twitter last January and merchandisers
gave fans the first official descriptions
of each character in "Eternals." The
"Eternals" team will be made up of
Ikaris, Sersi, Ajak, Phastos, Makkari,
Druig, Gilgamesh, Thena, Kingo and
Sprite.
"Eternals" is also making MCU
history by featuring the first openly gay
couple in the universe; however, that
will not be the only romance in the film.
Gemma Chan, in an interview with
Vanity Fair Italy, confirmed that her
character Sersi has a romantic history
with Ikaris and the Black Knight.
Relationships are not necessarily
essential for an MCU movie's plot but it
appears as though this one will feature
more superhuman romances than the
previous films.
Nevertheless, these new additions
to the MCU are receiving a positive
response among many.
''I'm excited to see it;' said Rachel
Kern, a sophomore musical theatre
major. "I hardly know anything about
this new phase happening, so it's cool
that there's so many movies coming
out now that are introducing new
characters for future films."

The film was directed by Chloe Zhao,
who also wrote the screenplay with
Ryan Firpo, Patrick Burleigh and Kaz
Firpo. It was produced by Kevin Feige.
After composing the score for
Marvel's "Iron Man" in 2008, Ramin
Djawadi also composed the score for
this film. The full soundtrack for the
film comes out today.
"Eternals" also has an extremely
talented
and
well-known
cast.
Gemma Chan will be making her
debut as Sersi, Richard Madden as
Ikaris, Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo, Lia
McHugh as Sprite, Brian Tyree Henry
as Phastos, Lauren Ridloff as Makkari,
Barry Keoghan as Druig, Don Lee as
Gilgamesh, Harish Patel as Karun, Kit
Harington as Dane Whitman, Salma
Hayek as Ajak and Angelina Jolie as
Thena. Harry Styles is also credited as
Eros/Starfox in a post-credits scene.
Jolie is perhaps the biggest and most
familiar face to sign on. It was revealed
that she was playing Thena, a powerful
Eternal known for knowledge and
fighting who is similar to the Greek
goddess Athena, during Marvel Studios'
panel at San Diego Comic-Con in July
2019. Jolie starred in many comic book,
sci-fi and fantasy films over the years
but this will be her first live-action film
based on a superhero comic.
The film had its world premiere in
Los Angeles at the Dolby Theater on
Oct. 18 and was screened at the Rome
Film Festival on Oct. 24. "Eternals"
was originally supposed to release on
Nov. 6, 2020, but due to COVID-19 the
release date shifted to February 2021
and then to the November 2021 date.

Box Office Pro predicts that
"Eternals" is estimated to earn between
$82-$102 million during opening
weekend. This puts the film at being
the highest opening film in phase four.
Despite the predicted success of the
opening weekend, early reviews for
the film are not as positive as others
in the MCU and has one of the lowest
Rotten Tomatoes scores yet. Currently,
the MCU has a perfect record on
Rotten Tomatoes since every movie
has received a "fresh" rating. So far,
"Eternals" has an estimated 81 reviews
with the score landing at 64%, which
makes it the lowest scoring movie in
the MCU.
Of course, this batch of reviews is
a result of the initial premiere so the
score could get better as other reviews
filter in.
''I'm looking forward to it;' said Jack
Flynn, a sophomore musical theatre
major. ''I'm not as excited about it as
I am for future releases like "SpiderMan: No Way Home" or "Dr. Strange
and the Multiverse of Madness" but I'm
sure it'll be great. It has an all-star cast:'
"Eternals" will be at RIC WilkesBarre Movies 14 on Friday, Nov. 5. at
4:15 p.m., 4:35 p.m., 7:00 p.m., 8:05
p.m. and 9:00 p.m. in normal view,
2D and 3D. Tickets can be purchased
by going to www.rctheatres.com or by
going to the Student Union Building
(SUB) and purchasing a $3 movie
ticket.

Liz's Craft Corner: Colorful Thanksgiving foam leaf garland
By Liz Cherlnka
Social Media Manager

Step 1: Cut a leaf out of the the
foam sheets about 4 Inches tall and
2 Inches wide. They can be varying
shapes and sizes, but keep a general
leaf shape consistent.

Step 3: Repeat that step for all of
the leaves to be put on the garland.
Begin with just 10 leaves and poke
holes In more to make the garland
as long as desired.

Step 2: Use the scissors to put
six equally spaced holes down the
middle of the leaf. Be careful as to
not hit your finger with the blade.

Step 4: Thread the yarn through
the holes In the leaves. Begin from
the back and then bring that yarn
through the front. Repeat this for
each leaf on the garland.

Step 5: Hang the finished leaf garland for a Thanksgiving touch!

Halloween is officially over, which
means the transition to Thanksgiving
decorations can begin. It is a perfect
time to do a fall-themed craft to
pumpkin-spice up any room. This foam
leaf garland is easy and quick to make,
which makes it good for the holiday
switch.
The required materials for this DIY
are 2mm foam sheets in green, orange,
red, yellow and brown, scissors, orange
yarn and a yarn needle (optional).
These materials are affordable, costing
under $10 and can be found at any
craft store, such as Joann Fabrics or
Michaels, and Amazon.
The first step is making the leaves out
of the foam. Cut a leaf shape out of the
first foam sheet about four inches tall
and two inches wide in any shape.
Repeat this until the whole foam
sheet is cut out. Some leaves can be
wider, thinner, shorter or taller, as the
sizes are just general guidelines.
Repeat cutting the leaves for every
colored foam sheet. The number of
leaves cut out will look very daunting
and excessive but it allows the ones
that did not come out as desired to be
thrown away.
The next step is to start making them
into a garland. This is the hardest step
of the process but is still generally easy
to do as long as you are careful.
Grab the scissors and make six
equally spaced holes down the middle
of the lea£ Open the scissors and use
only one of the blades to make the
holes. The holes can be pretty small,
just make sure the tip of the scissor
goes through the foam.
The hard part is making sure to not
cut yourself when pushing the blade
through the foam. It takes an amount
of force and your fingers will need to
be positioned on either side of where
the hole is being placed.
Make sure your finger is not too close

to the blade and that the blade does not
go in too far as to slice across the finger.
Start by making about 10 of the leaves
with holes and move on to stringing
them on the yarn. Also, you should
decide on an order for the leaves. They
can be in a pattern or random but
arrange them in order.
In order to string the leaves on, grab
the yarn and thread it from the back
through the bottom hole of the first
lea£ This is where the optional yarn
needle would come in. It is possible
to do it without the needle but it may
make it easier.
To not use the needle, use the tip of
your finger to slightly spread the hole
open as your other hand pushes the
yarn through this hole. The yarn will
fray and unwrap at the ends so cut
it when it becomes unable to string
through the holes.
Then, thread the yarn through the
front into the second hole. Repeat by
going from back to front through the
lea£ Next, repeat these steps for every
lea£
Once the first 10 leaves have been
strung on, push them together and
judge the length of the garland.
Depending on where it is being placed,
you can continue adding leaves on.
Another option is to make multiple
garlands with all the leaves. Either way,
continue until the garland is as long
as desired, sliding the leaves down the
yarn to add more.
To finish off the garland, cut the
yarn off the ball and at the end of the
garland, leaving a few inches on both
ends. Tie a knot in the yarn at the end
of the leaf adjacent to it. Double knot
this to secure it and then cut the excess
yarn. Repeat this for the other side.
Now that both ends are finished and
secured, feel free to hang the garland
anywhere to add a Thanksgiving touch.

Students celebrate Halloween on campus with Freak Week
By Jordan Danlel
Life, Arts &amp; Entertainment Editor

Programming Board hosted a week
of events for students leading up to
Halloween called Freak Week. Students
were able to participate in all the events
for free on campus and get them pumped
for the holiday.
Freak Week began on Oct. 25 and
lasted through Oct. 29. The spooky week
is a Programming Board tradition during
the last week of October.
Events included: Mocktail Monday,
which involved a zombie mocktail
vendor coming to campus; Murder
Mystery, where students who attended
received a door prize and had to work
together to find the murderer; Paint and
Sip, which had a limit of 50 people; and
Trick or Treat Bingo, where students
were encouraged to wear their costumes
so they could be entered in a contest to
win an extra bingo board.
The last event of Freak Week was a
T-shirt giveaway. Students who went to
three out of the four other events were
able to receive a free T-shirt. Attendance
was kept tracked by having holes punched

"I participated in Freak Week because it
is nice to get a break from studying and
participate in fun events throughout the
week."
-Nicole Middleton
Pl Pharamacy student

Many students came out for this event
to help get them in the Halloween spirit.
Some went because they enjoy the events

"This Freak Week I had the opportunity
to attend both the zombie bar and the
Paint and Sip:' said Kaelin Hughes,
sophomore
political
science
and
history double major and secretary of
Programming Board. "My favorite event
was the Paint and Sip. I liked being able
to see so many people come together and
have fun painting something spooky."

schedules.
"I participated in Freak Week because
it is nice to get a break from studying and
participate in fun events throughout the
week," said Pl pharmacy student Nicole
Middleton. "I heard about the events
through social media and because I am
on Programming Board's genboard. I
went to every event!"
Also, students had a difference of
opinions on which event was their
favorite.
"My favorite event was bingo because

we could dress up and have the chance
to win great prizes including a TV:' said
Middleton.
Programming Board organizes events
for students to unwind from their hectic
days, so make sure to come out to as
many as possible, especially since they
are free.
Freak Week will be back next year.
"I think it's an easy way to get involved
on campus and have some fun, so I
definitely recommend it;' said junior
environmental science major Helen
Campbell. "They plan some really
interesting events so even going to one is
worthwhile:'

----~urVoi~----Each week, The Beacons editorial board will take a stance on a current issue.

College's elimination of hobbies is hurtful
It's almost an unspoken expectation and
truth that college students eat, sleep and
breathe their academic responsibilities.
Whether it be keeping up with classes
or attending meeting after meeting for
various clubs and extracurriculars, students
are unbelievably busy to what could be
considered an unhealthy point. With the
goal of obtaining a good-paying job upon
graduation, it's necessary to gain experience
and knowledge that are supposed to prepare
students for the real world.
Because of the time commitment it takes
for a student earning their degree in higher
education, there is little opportunity to
enjoy new or existing hobbies. It seems as
if the college lifestyle is purposely designed
to ensure students can only focus on their
studies and other involvements, creating
an atmosphere that doesn't allow time for
anything else. Hobbies included.
Even activities as simple as reading,
painting, gaming, knitting/ crocheting and
exercising don't fit into the busy schedules
and lives of college students. The time
that would usually be spent enjoying
those hobbies has to be sacrificed to
study or complete assignments before the
impending deadlines. And no matter how
important education is, it isn't fair that an
element of what brings students peace and
relaxation has to be given up the moment
they step foot on a college campus.

In comparison to earning a degree
in higher education, hobbies may seem
pointless or a "waste of time." Except the
opposite is true, as having even just one
hobby could alleviate the immense amount
of stress they are under every single day.
According to the Australian Government
Department of Health, "Spending time
on an activity that you enjoy can improve
your mental health and wellbeing. Research
shows that people with hobbies are less
likely to suffer from stress, low mood and
depression. Activities that get you out and
about can make you feel happier and more
relaxed:'
It is no surprise that many students
struggle with their mental health for a
variety of reasons, but the stressors and
anxiety of college life certainly don't help.
Being able to participate in a hobby that
bring joy and improves mental health can
be groundbreaking for students, but the
lack of available time eliminates that.
Beyond mental health improvement,
there are multiple benefits of hobbies that
would enhance a college student's life and
add an essential element of needed selfcare into everyone's routine. According to
Kettering Global, the benefits of hobbies
are physical, mental and emotional health,
better social and interpersonal skills,
creativity and self-improvement. On the
surface, hobbies may seem pointless and

nothing of importance, but the benefits are
significant in multiple ways.
The pandemic not only graced us all
with an unexpected amount of extra time
due to quarantine and safety precautions,
but many discovered new hobbies to stay
busy during the unprecedented time. And
while everyone got to experience the great
benefits of those hobbies, college students
were forced to give them up all over again
when life returned to "normal." Workloads
became heavy again, schedules filled up
with meetings and obligations and time had
to be dedicated to assignments.
At the end of the day, college and earning
a higher education should not mean giving
up activities that are enjoyable. Students are
still human beings that need to take care
of the~selves which includes having the
opportunity to indulge in hobbies that are
proven to be just as beneficial as classes are.
If you're looking for a new hobby or
something to pick up, Fort Hays State
University
recommends
journaling,
completing puzzles, cooking, team sports,
yoga, gardening or knitting. We can only
hope that the college experience changes
in the coming years to allow students time
for other activities outside of their academic
commitments -- which is how it should be.

Acceptance: The first step in the journey for inner peace

Staff Writer

Opinion

In a world in which we lack absolute
control, we often find ourselves wishing
that things were different. Often we try
to repre_ss or fight harsh realities we face
in hopes that it will grant us the facade
of perfection or peace of mind. However,
we will only find peace in accepting our
authentic ourselves and the things we
cannot change.
I have always been an anxious person. I
find myself staring at the ceiling at night,
unable to fall asleep, as my mind enters
a never-ending thought loop: "I hate that
I make mistakes. I hate that I am unsure
of the future. I hate that others have
hurt me. I hate that I hate these things.
I wish I wasn't anxious. I wish we were
still friends. I wish things were different.
I wish I wasn't thinking about this right

now:'
I used to repress these thoughts and
tried to ignore the problems I faced. I

used to lie to myself and pretend all was
perfect, that I was happy in hopes that
I would actually believe it. I thought I
could run from my problems or fake it
until the feeling goes away, but it never
did. Eventually, I realized that happiness
rooted in lies will never grant the same
satisfaction as genuine joy and peace.
So, how have I been attempting to free
myself from worry and the facade of
happiness? I had to face my problems by
accepting who I am, the things I cannot
change, and the future that is developing
before me.
Instead of fighting unwanted thoughts
or allowing them to become pervasive in
my mind, I take the time to ponder on it.
If it is something I can change, I accept the
challenge and try to develop a solution. If
it is something that is out of my control,
I accept that I cannot change it, process
that fact, and allow myself to move on.
I had to accept that friendships come
and go. I had to accept that I cannot
control the past. I had to accept that I

cannot control the future in absolute
terms. I had to accept and embrace these
thoughts to live in the present and to find
peace in the life I have been dealt.
This is much easier said than done.
Stress has become a part of the human
condition. Most of us find ourselves
crumbling beneath the weight of stress.
We worry about financial issues, work,
relationships, health and so much more.
It almost seems simpler to allow stress to
consume us instead of facing it.
However, when we live in a constant
state of stress, we are not only harming
our mental health but our physical health
too. Many of the leading causes of death
in America are linked to stress. In order to
find control in our lives and to maintain
our health, we must attempt to find a way
to cope through acceptance.
Although we may feel otherwise, we
are capable of controlling our mind and
embracing both the beautiful and ugly
parts of our lives. When we embrace
what life gives to us and find a way to live

through the ugly, we are not complicit or
passive, but rather, we are empowered.
Acceptance is not always the end
solution, but rather, it is the first step
in healing. When we accept our issues
and faults, we are granted the abilit1 to
work on them. When we find ourselves
running from problems on the hunt for
serotonin, stress continues to live within
us unconstrained.
We must ask ourselves: "Why do we
continue to hold so tightly to the things
that bring us so much inner turmoil?"
When we allow ourselves to be vulnerable
and fall apart, we are granted the gift of
recovery and the opportunity to let go
and move on.
You are not your thoughts. You have
control over them. We must spend less
time resisting, less time running and more
time accepting in order to live presently
and find peace within ourselves.

'YOU' season three: Netflix's original social commentary
By Lindsey Scorey

Opinion Staff Writer
The Netflix original series "YOU"
launched the third season in the franchise
two weeks ago on the streaming platform.
The third season is an encapsulation
of social commentary on a novel show
concept, making the series stand out
that much more over other options for
binging.
The whole third season revolved
around the antiheroes Joe Goldberg and
Love Quinn, a homicidal married couple
that has decided to settle down in the
suburbs of California, known as Madre
Linda, with their son Henry. However,
the fantasies and stalking endured by
Joe every season now resonate with their
neighbor Natalie. The plot unfolds greater
from there. Spoilers to come now cue.
After many entanglements with
cheating, murder and money, a devious
holy trinity, the couple finds themselves
as both allies and enemies to each other.
What is interesting about this, though,
is just how the characters and their
influences are written.
Take for example a neighborhood
married couple, Cary and Sherry. Sherry
is described as a "momfluencer" who
blogs about all the beautiful ups and

downs of motherhood. Her words and
actions are just as cringey as her selfmade title. Cary is the definition of what
Generation Z would describe as toxic
masculinity, a buff man who loves his
keto diet and adventures in the woods to
reconnect with his masculinity.
These actions are not inherently cringey
in themselves, but the portrayal of them is
highly satirical.
Cary and Sherry brought the necessary
comedic relief to the show and broke up

the darker content. They were not the
Penn Badgley's performance as the
only example of what privilege in the obsessive Goldberg was consistent as
suburbs can look like. This season had . always, but many audience members

with, making it much more enjoyable to season. Victoria Pedretti put on an act

systems in this season are prevalent just as
much as any other human character. The
show arguably would not have been the
same without that background. The mere
fact that Quinn is able to sign a three-year
lease to a bakery she wants in a high-end
part of California is a commentary on
the generational wealth she receives from
her inheritance of being a member of a
wealthy family.
The final episodes of this series will
leave the audience on the edge of their
seats. It is likely one of my favorite series
and seasons on Netflix to date just because
of the impact of the plot and commentary.
If you have not seen the series "YOU"
yet, run to Netflix and binge the now
three seasons worth of content. I promise
there is something in it for everyone.

Dean's Deep Dives:·Mitski, the beloved siren of somber sadcore
By Dean Bowen
Staff Writer
An often held criticism of modem
alternative music is that the sound has become
monotonous, clouded by overwrought
production and lukewarm emotional content.
Escaping this trap and pioneering a sound
all her own, Mitski has over the course of a
lengthy career managed to hone a unique
capability to remain relatable and grounded
despite an industry seemingly hellbent on
conformity.
Throughout her career, Mitski has managed
numerous rather sizable hits, with "Washing
Machine Heart;' "First Love/Late Spring"
and "Nobody" being a few examples. While
these songs are popular for a reason and
entirely worthy of their placement in any
respectable sad playlist, there are other tracks
in her discography that get overshadowed by
these successes. The following list highlights
ten such tracks, tracing a near-decade of
innovation in sound and presentation.
I. "Bag of Bones" - "Lush''
The first aspect of Mitski's ever-evolving
sound that she perfected was the ballad.
Preferring slower orchestral instrumentals
early on in her career, the "Bag of Bones"
instrumental is composed mainly of a piano
and a harmonica. This minimalism allows
Mitski's vocals to dominate this track, as she
somberly reflects upon the draining nature of
an emotionless yet intimate relationship. It is
often believed that this is the first song Mitski
ever made, showing even in the early stages of
her career that she was capable of conveying
emotion with unparalleled refinement and
honesty.
2. "I Want You" - "Retired from Sad, New
Career in Business"
Another element that Mitski began to hone
was the usage of verse style structure within
her music. Blending spoken word poetry and
a softened yet emotive vocal performance, "I
Want You" beautifully illustrates the pain of a
one-sided love affair. With a similarly strippeddown instrumental mainly composed of a
single chord of a pipe organ, this story of
mourning love is unmissable.
3. "Because Dreaming Costs Money, My
Dear" - "Retired from Sad, New Career in
Business"
It is rare to see a rising artist admitting
worries about the future of their career as it
grows; however, such candid confessions are
typical of Mitski. Lamenting the loss of her
passion in the face of her future, Mitski uses
competing metaphors of a fire and a sea to
•.. depict her mental state. Continuing to cultivate
an uncanny ability to build up an atmosphere

in her music, the mood created by the somber
piano and nearly teary vocal performance is
painfully familiar to those who have suffered
for their dedication to a craft.
4. "Townie" - 'Bury Me at Makeout Creek''
It was with "Bury Me at Makeout Creek"
that Mitski truly began to experiment with her
production, integrating aspects of rock into
her sound. Beginning to refine her method
of using the instrumental as a storytelling
tool along with the lyrics, it was with this
album where Mitski's careful production
choices became as impressive as her vocal
performances. "Townie" is a poignant
showing of this method, as the frantic drums
and synths of the instrumental perfectly
accompany its story of youthful rebellion and
nonconformity.
5. "Last Words of a Shooting Star" - "Bury
Me at Makeout Creek"
Despite changes to her sound, Mitski's
ability to make music best suited for sad
reflection continued. Further refining her
ability to make beautiful music out of the
darkest parts of her psyche, "Last Words of
a Shooting Star" puts to words a depressive
spiral. The simple guitar of this track carries
an impermeable yet understandable sadness,
elevating the farewell letter-esque lyrics and
tying together an unmissable depiction of a
shattered mindset
6. "Texas Reznikoff' - "Bury Me at

Makeout Creek"
In a poignant showing of the duality of
sound yet to come, "Texas Reznikoff" is
defined by a jarring beat switch, shifting from
a familiar guitar-strong love song to a drumheavy banger in seconds. Quoting famed
Objectivist poet Charles Reznikoff, Mitski
weaves together a tale of association between
love and the places it can occur in.
7. "Happy'' - "Puberty 2"
Perhaps the most important facet of Mitski's
connection with her audience is managing
to describe extremely intimate and specific
situations in a relatable way. "Happy" is one
such description, as she describes the pitfalls
of reliance on others for one's own happiness.
Utilizing a poetic styling of her lyrics along
with an instrumental dominated by a looping
sample reminiscent of a train, she depicts the
cyclical nature of dependency and the harm
it can cause.
8. "Geyser" - "Be The Cowboy"
"Be The Cowboy'' was a reinvention of sorts
for Mitski, centering heavily upon personal
growth and a revitalized confidence. The
opening track, "Geyser;' is a characteristic
love song, but with an entirely different focus.
Speaking in an interview with Pitchfork in
2018, Mitski clarified that the subject of this
track and her stated enamourment within it
was her music career itsel£ Finding peace
with the fact that her primary outlet and way

to relate to the world is music and proving that
she could be successful making the music she
wants to make, "Geyser" is a celebration of this
revitalized passion and an ample introduction
to an album that is (in my opinion) her best
to date.
9. &lt;~ Pearl" - "Be the Cowboy''
In a moment of reflection within a spiraling
discography charting years of heartbreak,
"A Pearl" is a poignant description of what's
left behind after an abusive relationship.
Continuing her propensity toward metaphor,
Mitski depicts the internalization of her
struggle as an eerie yet beautiful pearl.
Characterizing her damaged past as an
irremovable reminder of how she "fell in love
with a war;' she manages to encapsulate the
numerous intensive emotions involved with
healing from such a situation. This ability to
concisely describe the harms of life without
cheapening the emotion involved continues to
be a high point within Mitski's work, allowing
for the listener to understand and relate to
the story being told to them without being
weighed down by overwritten lyrics.
I 0. "Working for the Knife" - Single
Choosing to essentially disappear after "Be
The Cowboy': Mitski faded off of the internet
and out of the public eye entirely for almost
two years. Rumors endlessly circulated that
she was done for good, having left behind a
solid discography and a mystifying evolution
of sound. These were proven wrong, however,
when she returned with "Working for the
Knife': It was not the triumphant return to
the industry that some expected, however.
Lamenting the world moving on without her
along with a perceived Qustifiably so) pressure
to only sing about crushingly depressive
topics, it is clear that Mitski did not lose her
trademark pessimistic edge in her absence.
Behind the hits that have cemented her
status as a mainstay of the modern sadcore
musical movement, Mitski has assembled
a discography of impressive innovation
and brutally honest emotion. The resulting
music is undeniably somber in nature, but
the gorgeous instrumentals and extremely
talented vocal performances within it make
for a listening experience entirely unique in
terms of presentation.
As shown by her recent return, it is clear
that Mitski has more to give to the music
world. Given her career of constant innovation
and a near mastery of sonically interesting
production, it is nearly sure that what is to
come from Mitski will be just as entrancing as
her previous work.

The streaming service saga: Which sites deserve the clout? ·By Rudy Urenovlch
Staff Writer

As college students, many of us are at
the busiest time in our lives. Streaming
services are truly like lifelines to us.
They provide us with alternate universes
encapsulated in shows and movies in
perplexing storylines and dynamic
characters. They offer us a reprieve from
the insane world of university.
Furthermore, as college students, I
would say almost all of us are pretty
thrifty when it comes to spending. We
cut corners where we need to, but we will
never get rid of our beloved streaming
platforms, no matter how high they raise
the prices, And wow, are they raising
them (I'm looking at you, Netflix).
Now before we dive too deep, I must
profess I am rather like an old person
when it comes to all things under the
technology umbrella. I am constantly late
to the digital entertainment party. I didn't
download TikTok until this year. Ironic,
because I am in a digital-focused major.
But I digress.

The three streaming services I will be
building up and tearing down are Netflix,
Hulu and Prime Video. I know there are
more, newer ones making a splash, like
Disney Plus, Peacock and Paramount
Network. But my basic self only uses
those first three, so I do not have an
opinion on the others.
Let's start with Netflix. The monarch.
The supreme. The OG. I'm sure like
many of you, I first entered the world of
streaming services by making a Netflix
account. From a design and aesthetic
standpoint, I think Netflix has it down.
For the most part, I find the site easy to
navigate on all devices. The red branding
is iconic and synonymous with their
brand. I even think the thump sound in
their original content hits hard.
All that being said, in my opinion, they
fall short content wise. I am not someone
who gags over Netflix originals. I enjoyed
some, such as "The Crown" and "Squid
Game;' but personally I prefer to watch
older cable shows that ended over 10 years
ago, rather than new Netflix originals.
Some of you are about to be mad at

me, but it must be said: I think I prefer
Hulu. Hear me out. It definitely has some
cons, though. I do not think the design
and functionality are up to par with that
of Netflix, it's not as accessible or as
aesthetically pleasing. Also, many times
it fails to load for more, telling me I need
to refresh for a connection. Maybe that's
on my end, but Prime Video and Netflix
rarely do that.
You also need add-ons to unlock
certain shows and movies. Hulu+Live
Tv is $65-$71 a month. Too steep for me,
thank you, but I believe this is probably
supposed to be a replacement for cable
altogether, so I suppose the prices make
sense.
Some pros to it are many shows that
are being broadcasted currently on cable
add episodes to Hulu the day after they
originally air on TV, so it's easy to keep
up with your favorite shows. If you're
someone like me who likes to watch
shows that already had their runs, Hulu
has a lot more selections, I think. I love
binge watching shows; I can watch over
25 episode 10 season shows in about a

month, give or take. That's probably not a
good thing, but Hulu is the platform that
allows me to do this best.
Full disclosure: I very rarely use Prime
Video. I pretty much only use it when I
learn about a really old, unknown show
or movie. They have tons of those. It is
kind of hard to distinguish the pros and
the cons.
First, it is a benefit of having an
Amazon Prime account, so I believe you
do not have to pay a flat fee for it, it's
included under the Prime umbrella.
That being said, you have to pay
individually for tons of shows and
movies. But you also have the option to
rent them at a lower price. In the scheme
of things, I am not sure if it's a money
save or a money steal. I guess it depends
on how much you use it.
Overall, streaming platforms, like
everything else in life, have pros and cons
and rob you of time and money while
providing brief periods of reprieve.

Bre's Beats: 'Love On Tour' is an incredibly worthy experience
By Breanna Eblsch
Opinion Editor

After being postponed twice due to
the COVID-19 pandemic, Harry Styles'
"Love On Tour" finally began in North
America in early September, and the long
wait was well worth it. Excited fans across
the country got ready for a night of live
music by picking out stunning outfits,
relishing in the anticipation of seeing the
one and only Harry Styles, and getting
ready to hear the singer's sophomore
album "Fine Line" in sold-out arenas.
For thousands of people in the crowds
at the 39 cities around the United States,
these shows were the first concerts they
attended since the pandemic started.
Myself included.
And I cannot say enough good things
about how absolutely breathtaking this
tour was.
Despite how crazy this is going to
sound, I have been lucky enough to see
Styles a total of five times on this tour.
Yes, you read that right, five. At the time
this is published, I will have attended
every single one of those concerts. Four of
the shows were intentionally planned and
the tickets have been held onto for almost
two years. The fifth, by total surprise, was
a last-minute invite from a friend. And
although it seems a little crazy to see the
same artist five times on the same tour,
"Love On Tour" was worth it.
As a dedicated fan myself, I had seen
Styles a few other times prior to this tour,
twice with One Direction in 2014 and
2015 before the band went on hiatus, and
once on his first world tour back in 2018.
This wasn't my first time seeing Styles,
but there's something incredible about
his shows that cannot be found anywhere
else. But this time around, there was
an immense amount of love and pure
happiness in the air. It's safe to say that
"Love On Tour" is easily one of my very
favorite tours that I have ever been to.
Styles himself is a live performer like no
other. He's someone that you can tell was
born to entertain, which is clear in every
show of his with the unique elements
and how full of energy he always is. Put
him in the world's most famous arena,
the iconic Madison Square Garden, for
a total of five scheduled dates and you're
almost guaranteed an unforgettable time
right from the start. I was lucky enough
to see him four out of the five times at
, The Garden and arguably the choice of
venue enhanced the experience even

further. But most importantly, when the
lights went down signaling the start of
the show, the excitement skyrocketed to
an all-time high and you knew a stunning
night was about to begin.
The opening act for "Love On Tour"
is Jenny Lewis, a singersongwriter who hails
from Las Vegas.

creates art. And in the middle of the
intro, Styles rose up from underneath
the stage and opened with "Golden,"
the lighthearted, upbeat song that also
starts his sophomore album. The crowd
immediately was on their feet, jumping
along and screaming the wellknown lyrics to one
of the singer's

At 45 years old, she took the stage before
Styles and showcased her own talent
through a handful of songs that mix
the genres of country, alternative and
indie together. Her short but stunning
setlist included singles "See Fernando"
and "She's Not Me;' both fantastic songs
that matched the atmosphere of the tour
which many fans also enjoyed hearing
before the main act.
After Lewis left the stage, the thousands
in the crowd waited with anticipation.
It was impossible not to be jittery with
excitement for what's to come, and the
moment the arena went dark, a chorus of
screams erupted and "Love On Tour" was
officially underway.
The one-of-a-kind opening included
bright visuals of bunnies and bursts of
music intertwined with a saying about
how doing things dangerously with style

popular singles.
Right from the start, the concert was
everything a fan or regular concert-goer
could ever wish for. Styles controlled the
stage while wearing a different stunning
outfit each night, my personal favorite
was MSG Night One where he performed
shirtless in a black suit with feathery
sleeves and had a setlist that included
a perfect mix of ballads and songs
that are worthy of a dance party. His
happy attitude rubbed off on the crowd
with whom he interacted frequently
throughout the night, even having us sing
happy birthday to a few lucky people, and
the atmosphere was nothing less than
joyful and immense amounts of love.
An uncommon, but thoroughly loved
difference about "Love On Tour" was
the stage set up. The concert was in the
round, which meant every single seat

in the arena was sold and Styles had
two catwalks on either end of the stage
which was located in the middle of the
arena. While many artists don't choose
this setup often, it made Styles' show that
much more special. No matter where you
sat in the crowd, you always had a good
view of the singer. For all of my shows, I
had a different seat and although some of
them were closer to the stage than others,
I never complained because Styles moved
around the stage frequently and everyone
got an amazing glimpse of him in person.
Throughout the night, thousands of
smiles never faltered and some tears were
shed during the emotional moments,
especially when Styles gave the grateful
speech before singing "Fine Line:' My
favorite songs that Styles performed were
"Canyon Moon;' "Sunflower, Vol. 6:' and
"Treat People With Kindness:' These
three were also the ones I favored off the
second album, but hearing them live was
an entirely different experience. It was
magical in every sense of the word and
each time I cherished the short amount
of time that was full of genuine joy. But in
all honesty, the whole setlist was perfect
and every song was performed in the
most amazing way.
Now, seeing the same artist five times
on tour is usually seen as repetitive. I got
asked "Isn't it just the same show each
time?" or "What's the point in going to
a concert again after you've already seen
it?" more than I can count. But I am so
thankful to have had the opportunity to
attend "Love On Tour" as much as I did.
Each show was different from the last,
but all nights that I will never forget.
I have been to countless concerts in
my life already, but Styles' "Love On
Tour" was hands-down my favorite.
Not only do I adore Styles as a person
and performer, but the shows on this
tour were unlike any other I have ever
attended. The atmosphere was full of an
unbelievable amount of love, happiness
and acceptance that is only present when
seeing Styles. Every penny I spent on
tickets and every minute that I waited for
these concerts to finally happen because
of the postponement was beyond worth it.
If you ever have the chance, I cannot
recommend seeing Styles live enough.
From an artist who preaches kindness
and has a discography with outstanding
songs, it's the best time ever.

Men's and women'S ice hockey: New season, new perspective

Ice Hockey season is upon us and the men's

season with protocols being lessened.

said senior forward Donald Flynn. "This
year, it is nice that things are close to normal
again. We are really just cherishing the
routines, really enjoying the grind again and
really embracing how much we missed. The
little things are some of the best steps we
have taken for sure:•
"I think it will be really interesting to see
how different teams handled having a covid
year:' said junior defender Abigail Barcless. "I
think this season will be more electric than
ever due to people missing competition and
playing for something:'
MEN'S ICE HOCKEY:
Last year, Wilkes went 7-4 on the season
and made it to the semifinals of the United
Collegiate Hockey Conference (UCHC),
losing to Stevenson University. This year, the
goal is to make it to the final round and win
theUCHC.
"Every night is a battle in our league;' said
head coach Tyler Hynes. "Whether it is a
team at the bottom of the league or Utica,
it is going to be a dog fight and you can not
think it is going to be easy because we have
lost plenty of times doing that:'
The team is taking a new perspective on
this sea-son as they have a more experienced
and mature team, and they have one of the
deepest rosters that Wilkes has ever seated in
ice hockey.
"It is an exciting feeling knowing that
every guy is going to impact this team at
some point during the season;• said Flynn.
"We will be able to roll wave after wave, night
in and night out:'
The men started their season on Oct.
29 in Buffalo, N.Y. against Fredonia at the
Buffalo State Bengals Classic. Wilkes won

WOMEN'S ICE HOCKEY:
Last year, the Colonels went 0-9 on the
season and are now ranked ninth out of
11 in the UCHC season poll. This year,
the women's team is looking tp prove their
ranking wrong as they start game play on

team, graduated and their skates will have

newcomers.
"We look a lot more experienced than we
have in years before;' said head coach Earl
Utter. "We are largely made up of seniors and
juniors with a number of sophomores that
saw significant playing time last year:'
The team has a smaller roster this year
than in previous seasons but the drive to
win is stronger than ever as they want to
overcome their ranking in the league.
"We have quality over quantity;' said
Barcless. "I think everyone looks ready to go
and eager to get the season started:'
The Colonels are ready to take the ice and
skate their way to the top as they intend to
shock their opponents with a competitive
attitude.
"Being a new team, we finally have a
senior class and are no longer the youngest
team;' said Barcless. ''A lot of teams will be
overlooking us and taking us lightly but I
think that makes it more fun to go out and
try and prove something:'

MLB World Series Championship contest is neck-and-neck
By Chris Gowarty
Associate Sports Editor
As of Oct. 29, the 117th edition of
Major League Baseball's World Series is
officially underway, with two games already
completed.
2021 's edition of the Fall Classic witnesses
the Atlanta Braves facing the Houston
Astros with the series currently tied at 1-1.
This World Series is the Astros' third time
playing in the title round within the last five
years, making appearances in 2017, 2019
and now 2021.
The Astros began their playoff run by
finishing 95-67 during the course of the
regular season, clinching a presence in the
postseason with their fourth American
League West Division title.
They went into the playoffs as the No. 2
seed of the American League, lining them
up to face the No. 3 seed Chicago White
Sox in the first round, the American League
Division Series (ALDS).
The Astros won the best-of-five series
against the White Sox in four games,
which sent them to their fifth consecutive
American League Championship Series
(ALCS) dating back to 2017.
In the ALCS, they faced the
Boston Red Sox, who won this year's

American League Wild Card game against
the New York Yankees and their ALDS
against the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Astros took game one of the ALCS
but went on to lose the next two, giving
the Red Sox a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven
series. Despite the deficit, Houston went on
to win the next three games, win the ALCS
4-2 and move on to the World Series.
Yordan Alvarez was named the ALCS
MVP, hitting one home run with six runs
batted in and a .522 batting average, the
highest ever in ALCS play
For the Atlanta Braves, 2021 is their first
World Series appearance in 22 years dating
back to 1999.
In spite of 13 playoff appearances since
before the year before the new millennium,
the Braves failed to reach the championship
round until 2021. They clinched
their playoff berth this year with
an 88-73 record in the regular
season, which won Atlanta their
11th National League (NL) East
Division title since 2000. They
faced the Milwaukee Brewers in

the NLDS, winning the series 3-1.
The series was highlighted by a gamewinning home run in the eighth inning of
the decisive game four by Atlanta's veteran
first baseman Freddie Freeman.
In the NLCS, the Braves faced the
reigning World Series champion Los
Angeles Dodgers, who defeated the St.
Louis Cardinals in the NL Wild Card Game
and the San Francisco Giants in the NLDS.
Atlanta won the NLCS against Los Angeles
in six games for a 4-2 series finish, finally
ending their 22-year NL pennant drought.
With the Dodgers eliminated from the
postseason, the Braves extended the streak
of an MLB season ending without a repeat
champion, with the last being the New York
Yankees when they three-peated in 2000
(1998, 1999, 2000). Mid-season free agent
acquisition Eddie Rosario was named the
NLCS MVP, who tied the
record for most hits in a
postseason series with 14
hits in the six games.
Game one of the
2021 World Series
took place on
Oct. 26, with the
Astros hosting
the Braves at

Minute Maid Park. Braves outfielder Jorge
Soler made MLB history by becoming the
first player to hit a leadoff home run as the
very first batter of a World Series game.
Atlanta capitalized on the momentum
made by Soler, scoring five runs within the
first three innings, two of them coming
via a two-run home run by another Braves
outfielder, Adam Duvall. The Braves went
on to take game one on the road, by a final
score of 6-2.
Game two took place the very next day,
and it was all Houston early on. Going into
the bottom of the second tied 1-1, the Astros
scored four runs thanks to run-scoring
hits by catcher Martin Maldonado and
outfielders Jose Siri and Michael Brantley.
Second baseman Jose Altuve added on to
the Astros' lead with a solo home run in the
bottom of the seventh inning, putting the
score at 7-2 Astros.
The score would not change for the rest
of the game and the Astros would tie the
series against the Braves at one win apiece.
Altuve's home run was his 22nd in his
postseason career, tying him for second alltime with longtime Yankees center fielder
Bernie Williams.
All statistics and information were

'S.edu

Member of the women's basketball
team are preparing for their upcoming
season after last year's team only played
ten games due to COVID-19.
Last year, the Colonels finished 3-7,
and they hope to improve on that record
this season.
"We are looking forward to getting back
to a full year of action and appreciate the
opportunities that are in front of us;' said
head coach Tara Macciocco. "Everyone
is so much more appreciative of the
opportunity to compete on a daily basis:'
Wilkes is looking to replace two big
players from last year's team in Maddie
Kelley and Gabby Smicherko. Kelley and
Smicherko were key to both the offensive
and defensive side of the ball for the
Colonels, and were the leaders of a young
squad.
The two seniors on this year's team,
guards Kendra Smith and Juliann
Duignam, are stepping up in terms of
leadership for the Colonels on and off the
court. They realize they have to be much
more vocal to help get this Wilkes team to
their full potential.
"As a senior, I've been trying to take
the underclassmen under my wing and
get them accustomed to the style of play,
as well as the culture of the team;' said
Duignam.
The pride of the program since
Macciocco took over as head coach has

been defense. The Colonels will look to
impose their will on the defensive side of
the ball this year. They have quick guards
that can pressure the ball, to go along
with tall shot blockers in the paint to
contest the rim.
"We're looking to be a strong defensive
team and force other teams to be
uncomfortable offensively;' said Smith.
Wilkes is focused on being one of the
toughest teams in the conference. They
know that shots will not fall every night,
but their defense can help create easier
offense for a relatively inexperienced
group. This will help them compete in a
tough MAC-Freedom conference.
"I think our offense will come from our
defense;' said Duignam. "If we can get
stops at one end of the court, the offense
will fall into place."
On the offensive side of the ball, the
Colonels will look to grow after a strong
ending to last year's season.
Their young players got a taste of college
basketball last year in the shortened
season, but a full practice schedule and
season should allow the young guns to
improve on offense day in and day out.
"We want to be a team that outworks
our opponents every game;' said
Macciocco. "We play extremely hard and
leave it all on the floor. We have a very
quick lineup at every position, and hope
to take advantage of our speed on both
ends of the floor:'
The team is eager to get better and
to start competition. They have all the

tools to compete with every team in the
conference.
'Tm looking forward to being able
to get back onto the court this year and
compete with all of my teammates;' said
Smith. 'Tm excited for this program to
take the next step in elevating our level
of play:'

The Colonels will look to get off to a
quick start on the season when they host
Penn State Worthington Scranton at 7
p.m. on Nov. 11 inside the Marts Center.

MBB: Returning starters look to lead this team deep in MAC
....

By Arlel Reed
Sports Editor
The men's basketball team is excited and
grateful to return to the court for their
first real season in two years. Last year,
the team was only able to compete in nine
games due to COVID-19, scoring 4-5 in
this abbreviated season.
'Tm looking forward to the full 25 game
schedule and the opportunity for our guys
to have a normal season;' said head coach
Izzi Metz. "Last year obviously, we were
grateful to play any games last year, but
you know this is going to be, hopefully,
much more than normal:'
Even though the team was not able
to play a complete season last year, the
benefits of having even a partial season will
show up in games this year.
"We didn't think we would play last
year, but we ended up getting nine games
and a couple of practices," said Metz. "I
think just getting that chemistry with each
other on the court, and in pick-up game
opportunities after the season allowed our
guys to get to know each other's games. We
were able to see some success on the court
in game situations, and I think that was
beneficial had we not played or practiced

at all. I think this allowed us to get a little
further ahead than expected:'
Metz has been coaching at Wilkes for
eight seasons. For the first time in his
coaching stint at Wilkes, Metz was named
a captain to the program.
"We've never had a captain in my time
here;' said Metz. "I felt like it was the right
time and that our team could get a nice
boost from Sean Coller being our captain.
Sean just really stood out to us as a leader
by example and not afraid to communicate
with his teammates and the coaches. I
think he has a universal respect within the
program. I think it was a natural selection
to have Sean as our captain:'
Coller is a two-year starter and a senior
with one of the most consistent stat
lines from year to year. Coller discussed
his excitement for the new role and
emphasized being a steady hand that the
team can depend on this season.
"It's an honor. When coach talked to me
about it, I was really proud that he would
even consider me for that;' said Coller. "I
just want to fulfill that role and lead our
team. As a captain, I am obviously a leader,
but I know I am not the only one leading:'
In addition to the leadership found in
Coller, two crucial pieces for the Colonels'

where to cut against Arcadia University on Feb. 20.

offense and defense return in the form
of senior guard Drake Marshall and
sophomore forward Trent Fisher.
"Drake is a senior now, and has a lot
of experience;' said Metz. "We want
him to lead and we think he can be the
most complete wing-guard player in the
conference because he has the ability to
guard any position on the court with his
length and athleticism. He is a scorer and
makes hard shots. We want him to play a
complete game on both sides of the ball
every game and inspire his teammates:•
Marshall is coming off a hot season,
averaging 14.8 points per game and 5.8
rebounds per game. Marshall's deadly
shot was crucial in closing games for the
Colonels. His efforts in the season placed
him on the First Team All-MAC Freedom.
"With Trent, we want him to keep
progressing and getting better;' said Metz.
"I think more game experience will be
good. He showed a lot of growth and
showed signs of what he can do last year.
Hopefully he will keep expanding his game
and continue to grow-he has a really high
ceiling:'
Fisher, the returning rookie of the year,

showed that he has potential coming up
this season. Coming off an ankle injury in
the preseason, Fisher was slow out of the
gates. However, when he got cooking, he
became an indispensable asset for Wilkes.
In the seven games that Fisher appeared
in, he was their second leading scorer with
13.4 points per game and 7.7 rebounds per
game. Early signs of what this young player
could do gleamed through in their contest
against Del Val where the rook put up a
near double-double with 23 points and
nine rebounds.
"For myself I'm looking to improve my
game in all aspects of the game, including
shooting the ball better from the outside
and becoming a much better defender;'
said Fisher. "I am definitely going to strive
to be a first team all-league and potentially
fight for the player of the year honor. This
year should be a fun one for all of us:'
Coller, Marshall and Fisher, alongside
their teammates, kick off their season
next week on Nov. 10 at Clarks Summit
University at 8 p.m.

Korean War veterans receive honors at Veterans Day Ceremony
By Zach Paraway
News Editor

Wilkes University held a Veterans Day
ceremony in the McHale Athletic Center
on Nov. 10. The event specifically honored
29 Korean War veterans and their families
as they received Ambassador for Peace
Medals.
The ceremony opened with the
presentation of the colors by Wilkes
University's AFROTC Detachment 752
and the singing of the National Anthem by
Kalley Kovaleski. Father Thomas Looney,
President of King's College, performed the
invocation.
Wilkes President Greg Cant welcomed
university members, community members
and veterans to the ceremony and spoke on
the importance of having this event every
year, not just at Wilkes but everywhere.
He also acknowledged the veterans and
offered another thank you to their families.
''A Veterans Day celebration would not
be complete without extending a heartfelt
thanks to the loved ones of veterans and
members of the armed services:' said
Cant. "Their support enabled those brave
individuals to carry out their duty, both
here and abroad:'

grandfather who served in World War

of that support system.
"I think everyone who's ever put on a
uniform has a story about their brothers
and sisters from their time in the military;'
said Evans. "With that said, a lot of us have
also lost a few along the way. Everyday isn't
only Veterans Day, but Memorial Day as
well:'
Evans ended his speech by explaining the
importance of recognizing and helping the
veterans at home going through hardships
as well. He gave the statistic that 22 vets a
day will take their own life. He encouraged
audience members to reach out to friends
and family who have served and make sure
those veterans know they are cared for.
State Sen. John Yudichak then spoke of
the importance of the service that veterans
have given to the American people. He set
the stage of the war and gave details of the
American actions that led to, and occurred
during, the Korean War.
The next and final speaker before the
presentation of the medals was Senator Pat
Toomey.
The son of a Korean marine veteran,
he spoke about the work his office does
with veterans. His legislation has helped
thousands of veterans get the respect
and the services that they have earned in
fighting for their country.

Student Government notes: Nov. 10 weeklv meetin
By Zach Paraway
Staff Writer
The Student Government held its ninth
meeting of the semester on Nov. 10. It started
in traditional fashion with a call to order
and roll being taken. Next was the approval
of minutes and the treasurer's report. The
treasurer's report stated that there is a total of
$38,332 across all SG accounts.
The first order of business for the week was
a team-building workshop for SG as a whole.
It was done with the help of Jill Price, the
coordinator of Wilkes Adventure Education
(WAE). The goal of Price coming was to
promote team building among the members
of SG and help them all pinpoint the reason

as to why they are all there. They did activities
such as word association, getting to know you
sessions and partner activities. They ended
it by reevaluating those core values they said
earlier.
The second and final order of business for
the week was a presentation for an upcoming
winter event. The event is still under planning,
but the event would take place sometime in
early December before finals took place. It is to
be inside the MAC and many activities are to
be there such as inflatables, food trucks, yard
games, food, and prizes. The first draft of the
budget came out to be $6,000. This was week
one of two and will be voted on next week.

Sordoni Art Gallery hosts exhibition tour for artist, Juan Logan
By Genny Frederick
News Editor

On Nov. 10, Heather Sincavage,
director of the Sordoni Art Gallery,
led an audience of students, faculty,
administration and community members
through the Sordoni Art Gallery's latest
exhibition "Creating and Collecting"
from artist Juan Logan.
The exhibition opened Nov. 2 and
features Logan's own artwork he created,
artworks Logan cited as inspiration, as
well as works he has been collecting
since the 1970s. Sincavage's tour of the
exhibition highlighted the metaphor and
symbolism of Logan's work, leading the
audience through iterative symbols in his
art and how his work pulls from other
artwork and cultural moments.
Sincavage explained her goal as she
began to lead viewers through the gallery.
'Tm going to talk about some of the
works, but I think more importantly I
want to get into decoding them so that
you are at a place where you feel confident
looking at some of the work and how
it's perhaps meant to be understood;'
she explained. "Juan is somebody using
symbols and material to tell a lot of his
stories:'
To begin the tour, the work, "Approved"
was analyzed. The piece is self-described
as a self-portrait by Logan.
In the piece, Logan uses the symbol of
the Star of David as a symbol of otherness,
nodding to Jewish history and the use of
the Star to set the Jewish community apart.
Along with this symbol, identification
numbers, letters and fragmented shapes
are used in the work. The fragmentation
and abstract qualities of the work were
also highlighted and served as a starting
point for critically analyzing other works
throughout the tour.
Sincavage then moved to talk about the
Beach Paintings where she for the first
time highlighted the symbols that would
be continually used throughout other
works in the gallery.
"We are also looking at these
amorphous shapes that you see here. This
is considered the black community;' she
explained while pointing out shapes on
the work "Highland Beach:'
Sincavage then pointed to a few smaller
shapes in the center of the work which
audience members identified as being in
the shape of a head.
"This is people;' Sincavage explained.
"This is a person, this is how you're

building that communitY:'
The piece of art which has been used
widely on campus to announce the
opening of the new gallery, "Help Me,
Save Me, Love Me", was studied with
Sincavage's guidance. The piece consists
of clustered and dispersing puzzle pieces
that are not connected in the traditional
way of a puzzle, but are rather scattered

amorphous black splotches and the headshaped symbols.
Central to the work is also the large red
cross, a seeming nod to FEMA and the
Red Cross which Logan believed didn't
do all they should to assist and instead
of creating a space of safety, a space
of violence was created. The symbols
and references in "Help Me, Save Me,

as if spilled from a box.
The mixed media work is Logan's
response to the aftermath of Hurricane
Katrina, which he thought was handled
poorly by the American government.
Sincavage held up an aerial image of
the Superdome filled with people taking
shelter. The image, Sincavage explained,
was what Logan used for inspiration.
The audience saw the correlation
between the crowd pictured at the
Superdome and Logan's work, now
made clear by the identification of the

Love Me", are also seen in ''I'll Save You
Tomorrow", a mixed media work.
The continuous symbols present in
these works continue in works throughout
the gallery such as, "By Any Other Name"
and "The Draft".
In addition to Logan's works, Sincavage
pointed out artists who influenced him
and where connections could be drawn
between the work of both artists.
Audience members found the addition
of these additional artists interesting and
helpful to an understanding of Logan's

work.
"Juan Logan, and also a number of
his influences, are artists that I was not
familiar with;' said Dr. Lisa Kadlec,
associate professor of biology. "So it was
just a really nice opportunity to learn
about not only the exhibition artist, but
some of these other artists, and kind of
bring together the influences in his art
and just come at a more holistic sense of
his art and what he's trying to portray."
The direction from Sincavage was
appreciated by those who came to the
gallery, who may not have understood
the art fully if additional context was not
offered.
"The consistent pattern of the shape of
the heads is something that I didn't make
a connection with;' explained Dr. Maria
Grandinetti, associate professor and
chair of undergraduate nursing. "I saw
the pieces prior to the tour and I didn't
make a connection until she pointed
them out throughout her lectures. So
for someone who doesn't have an art
background, I've never created art myself,
there's something that everyone, even if
they're not artists themselves, can gain
by coming to the gallery and looking at
things and listening."
The tour through Logan's "Creating
and Collecting" gallery was interesting
and educational for members all across
the campus.
"I absolutely adore the gallery;' .said
Lisa Reynolds, an associate professor of
digital design and media arts. "I think
that it's an overlooked tool for learning
and teaching, but I think there could be
a lot of connections made between the
material that all the faculty are teaching,
in every discipline, to themes that are
emergent in the gallery. I think this is a
show that's very accessible and it's a show
that I think a lot of people from a lot of
different parts of the university can come
in and sort of appreciate in different
ways:'
Sincavage hopes to have Logan visit
campus in Feb. 2022. Until then members
of the Wilkes community and the broader
community can view the gallery on
Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to
5 p.m. and on Saturday from 12 p.m. to
Sp.m.
Logan's exhibition will be in the Sordoni
Art Gallery until March 13, 2022.

VETERANS, from front
The ceremony continued with the
presentation of Ambassador for Peace
medals to 17 veterans and their families.
Lt. Col. Mark Kaster did the official
orders and Cadet Col. Kyle Zborezny read
names of the veterans, while Toomey,
Yudichak and Cant presented the awards.
One of the veterans who was awarded
was Carl Boos, a Pittston native whose
grandson attends Wilkes.
"It was very nice that they brought
everyone out here today, including my
Grandpa JerrY:' said Matt Costello, a
senior electrical engineering major. "He
served 26 missions over North Korea as a
top gunner for a B-29 bomber. And it was

News
very nice how everyone acknowledged
him. They gave him his metal and his
honors and it was a very nice ceremony
overall."
The support from the University and
community were felt by not only those
honored, but also from ROTC members
and student Veterans.
"It's great to see that Wilkes could
host this and really show the students
and the veterans and those that are
like us preparing to go into it that
they're going to be supporting us as we
, continue throughout it;' said Alec Leese,
a Bloomsburg University senior finance
major, and a member of the Air Force
ROTC. "Being able to see this support
from our congressional and Senate
members is extremely important and

remembering a lot of those people up
there, they served a long time ago. To
see that we're still recognizing them and
showing the importance of their service
is really important:'
Evans emphasized the care for events
like this. He spoke about how veterans
should be celebrated everyday, not just
on Veterans Day.
"The service of these people is the
reason we're able to do stuff like this,"
said Evans. "So it doesn't matter the size
of the institution, as long as the support's
there. That means the world."
Members of the Veterans Council who
helped organize the event were glad to

Everard Riley, graduate student in
mathematics and vice president of the
Veterans Council. "I think it definitely
opens the eyes of the young. Right as
they're getting out into the world and first
starting to see things away from home

important to show them these kinds of
things. And I think not only ceremonies
like this, but having just the ROTC on

Mathematica seminar offered to students, faculty on campus
By Jake Maskulyak
Staff Writer
A representative from Wolfram Technology
visited Wtlkes to showcase their newest
Mathematica software to students and faculty
on Nov 12. The new 12.3.1 software boasts
updates to the program resulting in a more
efficient use of Mathematica.
Andy Dorsett, a senior academic account
manager at Wolfram Technology, presented
Wolfram Mathematica's updated software. The
most recent updates were unveiled in July and
include support for Apple products, singlesign-on software, new notebook features and
other bug fixes.
The technology company was founded
in 1987 and has since provided technology
that assists not only students and staff at the
collegiate level, but also assists professionals
and even Nobel Prize winners.
Mathematica allows for professors to
show students problems and equations in a
more visible form through the use of threedimensional graphs. In addition to these
types of visuals, the program can help to show
problems and equations at different steps

throughout the problem-solving process.
Dorsett claims that the main reason
Mathematica is so powerful and useful
for professors and students is because of the
software's unique coding language.
"Users can use their curiosity to
experiment
and
play around with the
coding;' said Dorsett.
"The interface is super
easy to interact with, but
it still allows users
to try complex
things. All of ~:..
this is done
·4
.,. !
·1
within a rigid
structure, meaning
that rules cannot be bent
or broken, and there are
no exceptions to that:'
The structured rules ~
of Mathematica are
another one of Wolfram's big claims, as
these structured rules help to avoid errors
and show users what is and is not possible.
The company argues that even with the strict
rules, complex graphs and functions are still

possible. The ease of use and the ability to still
perform complex tasks makes the software
practical for use outside the classroom and in
the real world.
"So far I have only used this program
for
my differential equations
class, but it is really
helpful to illustrate
the graphs of the
equations we use in
class:' said sophomore
mechanical
engineering
major Tess
Edwards.
In addition to
all ofthe features built
into
Mathematica,
their newest additions
to
the
program
include the ability to
move work to their
cloud This cloud then allows users to
share the software with peers, or to be able
to pull work up at a presentation or different
location.
All of the features of Mathematica are

r----.,.

what make the software unlike other coding
programs.
"Other codes, like Java, R, and Ruby, are
free, and that is hard to compete with:' said
Dorsett. "The features and the overall robust
technology of Mathematica, however, make
the difference:•
Aside from calculus and solving equations,
Mathematica has several other uses that make
it even more useful in other fields. The program
can be used to demonstrate to students the
ways in which things work, as well as being
able to complete other tasks like extracting and
analyzing data from Excel spreadsheets.
"It is a useful tool when completing math
assignments and it's easier to use compared
to other coding programs:' said Ryan Lasher,
senior mechanical engineering major.
With this program and its availability at
Wilkes, students can start with an idea and let
their creativity guide them to new and different
solutions. The software has uses across many
different fields, and can even help students·
finish equations when they are not sure of the
next step.

Wilkes Adventure Education considering spring break trip
By Maddy Kl na rd
Asst. News Editor
This Spring break, Wilkes Adventure
Education is planning to host a cross-country
trip to Washington state, leaving options
flexible as to what students might want to do,
including backpacking, caving, skiing and
more.
WAE has been taking advantage of these
multiple day breaks for the past 15 years of its
existence, helping students get further out of
the Wyoming Valley and their own comfort
zones.
"WAE has provided me with new
opportunities to learn about myself,' said
Mel Fouts, junior environmental engineering
major. "I have learned how to become a more
effective student leader on campus, along with
many other skills~
Fouts was able to learn various outdoor
exploration skills, whether it be hiking,
mountain or city biking, snowboarding, skiing,
snow-shoeing, tent camping or hammocksleeping. Fouts feels she can thank WAE for
these experiences, feeling that each of them
have helped her to grow in new ways.
Jill Price, adventure education coordinator,
has been head of the department for the past
nine years and has been dedicated to helping
students branch out of their comfort zones.

Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act signed into law this week
By Genny Frederick
News Editor

Committing to promises made during
his campaign, President Joe Biden signed
into law the Infrastructure Investment
and Jobs Act. The bill is a "once in a
generation investment" in infrastructure
as well as a movement toward the
mediation of climate concerns.
"It isn't often that bills pertaining to
transportation, infrastructure, power,
water and the environment are in the
forefront of politics, never mind any of
them actually getting to the president's
desk to be signed;' said Haley Perrego,
senior environmental engineering major.
''According to the American Society of
Civil Engineers, America gets a grade of
C- for our infrastructure, so I think it is
about time that we start doing something
about it:'
The bill is broken up into Divisions A
through K with each division including
a large breakdown of parts, titles and
sections.
Division A in the Act is for Surface
Transportation and Division B is the
Surface Transportation Investment Act
of 2021. These divisions include the
updates of roads and bridges as well as
the development and continuation of
programs, including the Congestion
Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement
Program and safe routes to school.
$110 billion will be allotted to repair
infrastructure
and
support
these
programs.
Many of the sections within the bill
focus on the reduction of carbon and
emissions. The White House fact sheet
on the bill cites the transportation sector
as the largest single source of greenhouse
emissions.
"The legislation will expand public
transit options across every state in the
country, replace thousands of deficient
transit vehicles, including buses, with
clean, zero em1ss1on vehicles, and
improve accessibility for the elderly and
people with disabilities;' explained the
White House fact sheet.
There will be $7.5 billion invested in
electric vehicle charging stations with
the goal of increasing the purchasing of
electric vehicles, so as to decrease the
environmental impacts of motor vehicles.
Other sections include pollinatorfriendly practices and the invasive plant
elimination program. Reforms on rail and
Amtrak are also included with programs

specifically focused on the Northeast
Corridor. $66 billion will be added to rail
funding for this project in particular.
Energy is Division Din the bill, and does
not only include programs and funding
for the power grid and development of
new clean energy technologies, but also
includes a focus on the cybersecurity of
the power grid.
Throughout the division, a throughline

is the clean energy programs being
developed. Carbon capture, removal,
utilization and- storage testing are all
included within the bill.
More specific programs, such as the
Geologic Carbon Sequestration on the
Outer Continental Shelf, are also some of
the other programs being funded through
the bill.
Clean energy infrastructure such as
hydropower, solar energy and nuclear
energy will receive funding for planning
and testing. Energy efficiency is also
a focus of the legislation with sections

on the energy efficiency of buildings,
industry, manufacturing, schools and
more.
Regular power outages, caused by
natural disasters or other causes, cost the
U.S. economy billions each year according
to the Department of Energy. To mediate
this the act will invest $65 billion in clean
energy transmission and grid.
Growing issues such as water rights, a

concerning issue for those living in the
western United States, are also considered
in the bill. Title IX in Division D is titled
Western Water Infrastructure and outlines
programs and projects for improving and
protecting water and its availability. Later
in the bill, Native American water rights
are also specifically addressed.
Along with water rights, water and
wastewater infrastructure have their
section, Division E.
Telecommunications and broadband
infrastructure are the focus of section F.
The section focuses on the development

of connectivity and building the
infrastructure.
The Digital Equity Act of 2021 is
included within the bill and provides
beginning planning and research,
data collection, analysis and modeling
for policy on equitable broadband
infrastructure.
Division G, Other Authorizations,
focuses on a variety of topics from,
wildfire
mitigation,
reforestation,
recycling practices, and clean school
busses. A large portion of this division
focuses on Title IX, BUILD AMERICA,
BUY AMERICA,
which
includes
sections on sourcing American products,
American manufacturing, and purchasing
American goods.
The final division, K, addresses
minority business development. Sections
are dedicated to public and private sectors
as well as research and development.
New initiatives are included as well as
a section on grants to nonprofits that
support minority businesses.
With
a
continuous
focus
on
environmental concerns, the legislation
movement of the United States toward a
sustainable future seems promising.
'Implementing
sustainability
management practices is more about the
journey than the final endpoint;' said Dr.
Marleen Troy, professor of environmental
engineering and director of the
Sustainability Management Certificate
Program at Wilkes.
"There are many different paths that
can be taken by an organization to get to
a final destination and the 'sustainability
finish line: The recently passed $555
billion infrastructure bill will provide
support to those on this sustainability
journey;' said Troy.
While the future seems promising,
Perrego thinks there are always
improvements, but agrees with Troy that
progress is still a benefit.
"It was disappointing to say the least
to see that high-speed broadband is set
to receive more funds than clean energy
programs and that the funds for this
bill were cut as a whole to begin with;'
explained Perrego. "Overall I do think
this bill is a start towards more sustainable
infrastructure in America, however, there
is a lot of work that still needs to be done
and we can not stop here:'

Swift releases new re-recorded album, 'Red (Taylor's Version)'
By Morgan Rich
Staff Writer
Taylor Swift's album "Red (Taylor's
Version)" was released on Nov. 12 and is
her second re-recorded album released
through Republic Records.
The album has 30 tracks, including
eight tracks "from the vault," which
are Swift's previously unreleased songs
originally made for "Red" in 2012 and
is approximately 131 minutes in length.
Pre-orders for the album's CDs went up
for sale on Swift's website in August and
the official tracklisting was released on
Aug.6.
Initially, "Red (Taylor's Version)" was
scheduled to drop on Nov. 19, 2021 but
back in September she announced the
album would release a week early.
This re-recorded album was a hit
upon release for fans due to the nostalgia
it brought them.
"My favorite song off of this album is
'22' because my best friend just turned
22;' said Priscilla Rey, a senior sociology
major. "Normally, I would not be able to
listen to music like this because of how
repetitive it is but because it reminds me
of my childhood I find comfort in it:'
Swift, who is known for making fans
guess what is next for her career, posted
a video across her social media of a
word puzzle for fans to solve. The puzzle
ended up spelling out "Chris Stapleton;'
"Phoebe Bridgers," "Babe;' "Better Man"
and "All Too Well 10 Minute Version;'
revealing the involvement of singersongwriters Chris Stapleton and Phoebe
Bridgers on the album and three new
songs. Ed Sheeran also announced his
involvement with the album back in
June, saying he re-recorded the song
"Everything Has Changed" which was a
duet with Swift on the 2012 album.
"My favorite regular track has to be
'Everything Has Changed~' said Kaelin
Hughes, a sophomore political science
and history major. "It's an amazing song
and I think it's so cool how both Ed
Sheeran and the other collaborators on
this album re-recorded for this album:'
A teaser video was posted by Swift on
Oct. 24 featuring a portion of the title
track "Red (Taylor's Version);' a red
dress, the "Red" ring from the album
cover, red clothes and accessories. This
video mimics the cover artwork of the
album which depicts Swift wearing red
lipstick, a beige petticoat, a burgundy
fisherman's cap and a customized "Red"

ring while she sits in a convertible.
Swift also teased the release of a
10-minute version of the fan-favorite
song, '½.11 Too Well," which was
previously five minutes and 30 seconds
long. On Nov. 5 Swift revealed a teaser
for '½.11 Too Well," a short film based
on and titled after the song that was
released alongside the album. The teaser
included a vintage car driving past a road
surrounded by autumn leaves.
The short film was written and directed
by Swift and stars herself, Sadie Sink and
Dylan O'Brien. An official poster for the
film was released on Swift's social media
the day before the album's debut, which
was then followed by a short teaser of the
track "Babe (Taylor's Version)." The short
film was released on Nov. 12 alongside
the album and premiered at the AMC 13
Theater in New York City.
"I think the short film is a great idea:•
said Hughes. "It is a great way to market
the 10-minute song since the music
industry has progressed and shorter
songs have become more popular in
recent years. Besides marketing, I know
loyal fans and I are excited to see the
portrayal of the story through the film. It
is a great way to appeal to Taylor's loyal
fan base while also trying to reel in other
casual listeners. Overall, it is a super
smart and amazing idea:'
One particular song on the album
touched hearts among many. "Ronan;' a
charity single originally released in 2012,
was based on a blog by Maya Thompson
about her three-year-old son, Ronan,
who died from cancer in 2011. Swift
credited Thompson as co-writer of the
song and all proceeds from sales of the
single go to help fight cancer.
"I think it is so sweet that Taylor
Swift is giving back by donating to a
cancer fighting organization," said John
Hannaway, a junior pharmacy major.
"There are so many uncertainties and
heartaches with cancer and any little
bit will help. As a cancer survivor, I
appreciate the fact that so many people
understand the severity of cancer and
the need to find treatments and cures. If
it wasn't for people like her, who donate
and support cancer research, odds are I
would not be in remission today:'
"Ronan" is the 21st track on the album
and includes a music video with pictures
of Ronan before his death.
Michelle Bazan, a junior psychology
major, loves the fact that Swift chose
to release the song in the re-recorded

album.
"It was already such a beautiful song
with such special meaning and knowing
that she put it in an album that focuses
on healing and trauma makes 'Ronan'
that much more special," said Bazan.
"Red" expanded beyond Swift's former
country genre and began exploring
the world of pop music. This album
immediately sparked positive reviews
and success upon release. "Red" even
gave Swift her first number one song on
the US Billboard Hot 100 and became
her first number one album in the UK.
Today, "Red" is known for showcasing
Swift's skill and was even placed at 99 on
the list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All
Time."
"Red" was Swift's fourth studio album
released by Big Machine Records in
October of 2012. She ended her contract
with them in 2018 when talent manager
Scott Braun acquired the ownership
of the master recordings of her first six
studio albums. Swift made allegations of
Big Machine Records blocking her from
using her old music so she announced
she would re-record those six albums to

give her complete ownership.
"I think Taylor Swift re-recording her
albums is inspiring because it shows
a woman fighting to own what's hers,"
said Maxine Bodnari, a sophomore
biology major. "The re-recording of
'Red (Taylor's Version); apart from
obviously sounding more mature, is
more meaningful because she owns it:'
To stir up excitement for the album,
Swift appeared on "The Tonight Show
Starring Jimmy Fallon" and "Late Night
with Seth Meyers." On both shows she
addressed "Red (Taylor's Version);'
singers that were collaborating on the
album and what song she was most
excited about. Swift also appeared on
"Saturday Night Live" this past Saturday.
"Red (Taylor's Version)" is available
to stream on Spotify, Apple Music and
Amazon Music and is also available
for purchase on CD and vinyl. To find

new music please visit https://www.

Liz's Craft Corner: Colonel pride logo paint spray bottle art
By Liz Cherlnka
Social Media Manager

This DIY Wilkes logo spray bottle
art is a quick and easy craft that adds a
Colonel touch to any room. There are
only a few supplies needed which makes
it affordable and it is a perfect craft to
do while studying for pre-Thanksgiving
break exams.
The required supplies are blue and
yellow paint, white cardstock paper,
two cups, a spray bottle, a fine tip black
marker and scissors. These supplies
can be found at any craft store, such as
Joann Fabrics or Michaels and Amazon.
To begin, find the Wilkes "W" logo
online and print it out. It is preferred to
print it out on cardstock paper because
paint will be less likely to leak through
it, but printer paper will work as well.
Cut out the logo and tape it down
onto the middle of the white cardstock
paper landscape orientation. Next,
lay some newspaper down onto a flat
surface like a floor because the next
steps are a bit messy.
To make the spray bottle art you will
need colored water to spray.
Grab the blue and yellow paint
in Colonel colors. Put about one
tablespoon of each color into two
different cups. Then, add a cup of water
to each of those cups.
Mix the paint and the water together
until the paint is fully diluted. Pour the
blue paint into the spray bottle first.
Spray the water into a sink until the
blue starts spraying out.
Lay the cardstock down onto the
newspaper with the logo side up. Spray
the blue paint water randomly all over
the paper, making sure to surround the
edges of the logo.
You will want the whole paper to
have splatters of paint covering it but
the edges around the logo will have
to be covered to make a distinct edge
for when the logo paper is removed.
Spraying it randomly is what will create

a splatter effect on the paper.
Keep this laying on the newspaper
while it dries completely. This will take
about an hour, so feel free to do some
studying in the meantime. This craft is
easy to do while multitasking.
Empty the spray bottle out into
a sink and rinse it out to remove the
blue paint water. Pour the yellow paint
water into the spray bottle. Spray the
water out until the blue stops and the
yellow starts spraying out.
Spray the yellow paint water onto
the paper the same way as the blue
paint. Make sure the paint is randomly
sprayed on and is around the logo as
well.
Overlaying the yellow onto the dried
blue will not create green but will
instead create a blend of both the blue
and yellow. Make sure there are spots
that are just yellow and just blue, as
well as spots where they overlay.
Allow the yellow paint to fully dry.
Leave the paper on the newspaper until
it is mostly dry and then transfer it to
a flat surface to dry the rest of the way
to prevent it from wrinkling. Feel free
to do some studying during this break
time as well.
Once the yellow is dry, remove the
logo carefully so the tape underneath
does not rip the paper. The logo will
become apparent now but paint will
inevitably have leaked under the logo.
To make the Wilkes logo more
prominent, grab the black marker.
Trace the outside of the logo using a
ruler to get straight lines if needed. The
edge of the logo will be apparent so
tracing it should be simple and a quick
step.
Once the logo is traced on, the D IY
is finished. Feel free to hang this logo
decoration anywhere for a touch of
Colonel Pride.

Senior Farewell

Final Edits: Genny Frederick reflects on time with The Beacon

By Genny Frederick

News Editor

A columnist for the local newspaper
lives two blocks from the house I grew up
in. When I was younger, I was obsessed
with reading the column he wrote each
week. As an eighth grader, I was sure I
was going to be a journalist someday, but
as I grew older the certainty of my future
slipped a bit and I found some other
passions instead. It's funny how things
come back around.

Sean Schmoyer, Managing Editor:

The first Beacon meeting I attended,
I found the back and forth of the
news and sports staff, the discussion
of events by LA&amp;E writers and the
dynamic conversations between all the
communications students terrifying so I
planned to leave and promised myself to
never come back.
Not noticing my nervousness, or
maybe ignoring it, Sean Schmoyer,
assistant news editor at the time, asked
me, "Do you want to write something
this week?" I had never written a news
article in my life and was running purely
on the ambitions of my 14-year-old self,
but agreed. I had four people, including
my mom, read my article over for spelling
and grammar mistakes, begging them to
tell me if the article was actually any good
before I submitted it that Friday. To my
surprise, Sean emailed me the next week
and asked, "Do you want to write another
one?"
Over the last two and a half years I
had the unbelievable and unexpected
opportunity to explore Wilkes through
lectures and interviews, meeting people I
never would have and learning more than
I thought I could. Looking back, all I can
say is thank you.
First, and probably most deserved,
thank you to my friends and family who
listened to me talk about The Beacon
more than they probably would have
liked to. Second, thank you to everyone
on campus who has ever answered my
emails asking for comments or for an
interview. An apology also goes out to you
ifI emailed you again two days later (and
maybe even the day after that) because I
didn't get a response and I needed some
information.
The biggest thank you goes out to
the current Beacon staff. Thank you for

making Saturday, and sometimes Sunday,
afternoons enjoyable and for making
the work pass by easily. Thank you for
making me an honorary member of the
Com Department. Most of all, thank you
for making my last semester at Wilkes full
of new friends and really good memories.

FB: Monarchs third-quarter momentum caused

Jose Tabora dives Into the end zone to put the Colonels on the board in the
Mayor's Cup.

Editor's note: Baylee Guedes is the
sibling to King's senior quarterback
Tekoah Guedes.
The biggest game of the year in
the Barre took place on Saturday as
Wilkes took on King's College for
the 25th annual Mayor's Cup game
at McCarthy Stadium. However,
the Colonels lost to the Monarchs
34- 7 after big drives from the King's
offense.
"I think the rivalry is an important
aspect for both schools' traditions;'
said head coach Jonathan Drach.
"In the grand scheme of things, it is
just another game. I think that both
schools want to win that game every
year and it is an important game to
win and we did not pull it off this
week:'
The Monarchs got an early lead
in the first quarter with a running
touchdown from Brennan Robinson

after a handoff by senior quarterback
Tyler Moore as well as an extra point
by Kyle Prescavage. Wilkes' defense
was crumbling early on as King's kept
pressuring them with their offense.
The Colonels struggled to get
offensive drives in the first quarter
as the Monarch defense was keeping
the petal to the metal, forcing three
punts by first-year punter Alex
Orlando. King's recovered the punts,
but failed to score again in the first.
On Wilkes' second drive of the
second quarter, senior quarterback
Jose Tabora scored an 11-yard
rushing touchdown for the Colonels,
continuing to break his record for
all-time rushing yards at Wilkes.
The score remained 7-7 heading
into halftime, and both Wilkes and
King's knew they had to come out
hard in the third quarter to obtain
the Mayor's Cup.

The Monarch's made a vital change
as they put in senior quarterback
Tekoah Guedes who completed
multiple drives leading his offense to
scoring position. Guedes handed off
the ball to Shemar Ellis for a six-yard
rushing touchdown.
Tabora and

Drach. "Then

The fourth quarter started with
the Monarchs on offense. Wilkes'

defense could not hold on after a
minute of gameplay, leading to a
51-yard passing touchdown from
Guedes to Joe Herman.
The Colonel offense got the ball
at the 44-yard line after Monarch's
Prescavage kicked it to the 36-yard

line and Wilkes' Elijah Jules returned
it for 22 yards, leading to a drive that
had the potential of a score for the
Wilkes offense.
"Overall, it was a rough day;' said
Jules. "I still believe we have one of

Tabora started his offensive drive
with a two-yard loss after a sack by
the Monarch defense. The offense
tried to get the ball rolling, but a
pass was broken up by King's Joseph
Carchio for an incomplete pass to

Jason Schweizerhof.
Tabora completed a pass to
Schweizerhof for a four-yard gain
and then Tabora rushed for a 13 yard
gain. However, Wilkes was charged
with a personal foul, causing a 15yard penalty and a fourth down.

The Colonels tried to capitalize on
their fourth and 15, but Tabora's pass
was incomplete to Devin Higgins,
causing a turnover on downs.

and the cup was presented to King's
College by the mayor of WilkesBarre, George Brown.
"The rivalry game meant a lot;'

Dylan Walck attempted an Interception, however upon further review, It was
labeled as pass Interference

said Jules. "To see it end like that
is very disappointing but we will
bounce back. I do not want people
thinking that that game was a real
representation of Wilkes football, we
are a better team than we portrayed:'
King's Carchio was named with the
game's most valuable player honor as
he had the best performance for the
Monarch defense. Colonel's senior
linebacker Cole Jesmer was awarded
with the game's most valuable player
honor for Wilkes as he led the
defense with 12 tackles.
"It felt great to win MVP for my
last game, but I do wish we came out
with a win;' said Jesmer. "I got the
MVP last season and doing it again
this season it meant a lot because I
don't know anybody who ever had
a two-peat of the MVP award. The
game meant everything to me and
going out the way I did, it wasn't

hateful."
Tabora ended his football career
with multiple school records
including 7,653 passing yards, 622
completions, 62 of them being
touchdown passes.
The football season has come to a
deafening end for Wilkes and they
will resume gameplay next fall in
hopes to win the Mayor's Cup back
from their cross-town rival.
"We are a young football team;'
said Drach. "Quite a few will return
with two or three years left and those
kids are going to have an opportunity
to learn from their experiences from
this year and build on that in the off
season to gain positive momentum:'

----(QurVoi~---Each week, The Beacon's editorial board will take a stance on a current issue.

Travis Scott is to blame for Astroworld tragedy
On Nov. 5, at least nine attendees have
died and many more were injured at Travis
Scott's Astroworld festival in Houston
due to a crowd surge. Many factors
of negligence led to this undoubtedly
avoidable tragedy where concert-goers
were injured or killed.
These nine people were expecting to
go to a concert to have fun and lost their
lives.
Travis Scott, as the organizing artist
who did not act when he saw attendees
needing medical assistance, is partly
responsible for the deaths and injuries. He
should be charged for his participation in
this tragic event.
There is evidence that has since been
posted on social media by attendees
showing that Travis Scott saw people
passing out and begging for help while he
continued his performance. Security at
the event was lacking, especially in aiding
people who were injured and enforcing
strict guidelines for entry.
People called out for help to Scott,
security, videographers, paramedics and
other attendees, but no one listened to
their calls, especially not Scott who had
the power to shut it all down.
No one read the warning signs. This
tragedy was avoidable from the get-go,
but only continuously worsened because
of a lack of attention given to those at

risk in the audience. Kylie Jenner, Scott's
significant other, holds a very popular
platform on Instagram to say the least and
she was even seen posting videos from the
festival with ambulances in the crowd. Not
really a great public relations strategy for
her brand.
Their blatant ignorance of the countless
people injured due to Scott's mishandling
makes the issue more severe.
To make matters even worse than
they already were, Scott posted an
apology video to his Instagram story
that viewers criticized for its lack of
accepting responsibility or appearing at all
appropriate to the circumstances.
He has even begun partnering with an
online therapy company to provide one
month of free therapy to everyone who
attended the event as a last-ditch effort to
redeem himself which was not accepted
well.
The sad truth is this is not the first
time Scott has encouraged overcrowding,
ignoring security, "raging" or has acted
out against concert goers. According to
CNN, he has been charged with inciting
riots at previous concerts, including two
documented arrests for such acts.
A video of Scott went viral on social
media of him encouraging the audience to
beat up or gang up on a concert goer who
stole his shoe while he was crowd surfing

years prior. All of this evidence is building
a rather solid case against him should he
be charged for his actions, or rather lack of
action, in the case of the Houston deaths
and injuries.
Even at concerts or performances where
there is overstimulation from sound and/
or other factors, there are not nearly as
many incidents of deaths or injuries at
concerts to justify this being a risk an
attendee knowingly makes. If anything, the
Astroworld festival is a horrible anomaly.
Artists should have their fan's safety and
security as their top priority. By blatantly
not caring for his fans and allowing this
crisis to occur, Scott and his brand are
doomed even if he somehow manages to
bypass any responsibility or legal action
taken against him.
Several parties, including the families
of those who passed or those who were
injured, deserve compensation and for
someone to be held responsible for their
grievances.
There were many people at fault in
this horrible tragedy. While Travis Scott
is not the sole determining factor of
what occurred that night, he holds a
platform like no other and should be held
accountable for his role in the tragedy.

JPEGMafia's 'LP!': An album unlike any other in the industry ·
By Sydney Allabaugh
Staff Writer

ock
1&gt;mly

On Oct. 22, rapper, singer and record
producer JPEGMafia released his fourth
studio album "LP!". JPEGMafia is known
for pushing the boundaries of hip-hop
and experimenting with new sounds,
genres and samples. In "LP!;' JPEGMafia
continues to push the limits as he
showcases his bold artistry and detailed
production throughout each track.
"LP!" has been released in two different
forms: the online edition and the offline
edition. The online edition is available on
most streaming services like Spotify and
Apple Music. It consists of 18 tracks; 15
of the tracks are new and the final three
are classic JPEGMafia hits. The offline
version is available on Bandcamp and
YouTube. It contains extended versions
of some of the tracks and a few additional
songs.
Although the online version is more
concise, the extended and additional songs
on the offline version like "HAZARD
DUTY PAY!" and "DIKEMBE!" are
among my favorites. The offline version

showcases raw, unfiltered artistry and
emphasizes his upcoming creative
freedoms as this album is his last under
the constraints of his record label.
"LP!" highlights JPEG Mafia's versatility
as an artist in a way that is unprecedented
in his discography. While he has always
been experimental, he combines many
different genres and sounds in a new
and almost odd way. "END CREDITS!;'
a song in which Peggy carries out his
traditional flow over heavy drums and
electric guitar, is unlike anything I have
ever heard from him. Similarly, "NEMO!"
stands out as he utilizes strange, distorted
synths to create a song unlike any other.
Not only does he jump between
different genres like abstract hip-hop,
rhythm and blues, pop and glitch-hop,
but he also explores different topics and
themes. A common theme throughout
the album is his distaste towards other
artists and the music industry as a whole.
"REBOUND!;' for example, features an
unforgiving diss at others in the industry
over a cold hip-hop beat. Lyrics like "How
you still up and coming? You old" and
"You know we got beef and you know that

I'm winning" showcase his confidence
as an artist as well as his pent-up anger
towards those who have crossed him.
JPEGMafia's use of samples and covers
continues to add to its quality and sets
"LP!" apart from other albums. On
"HAZARD DUTY PAY!" Peggy blends
his harsh vocals with a smooth R&amp;B song
''Ain't No Need to Worry" by The Winans
and Anita Baker to twist the original
vibe into something new. On "TH*TS
PRAYER!;' he covers early 2000's pop
hit "... Baby One More Time" by Britney
Spears with a new flow over a distorted,
relaxed beat. His ability to transform
music and make it his own is applaudable.
Although I enjoyed every track,
''ARE U HAPPY?" and "BMT!" stood
out to me the most on first listen and
quickly became my favorites. "ARE
YOU HAPPY?" begins with a thoughtprovoking sample from "Transition" by
Galaxy 2 Galaxy: ''Am I happy with the
way my life is going? Do I have a life? Or
am I just living?" While the listener is left
to reflect on these lyrics, Peggy begins
his verse over an alluring and almost
surreal melody. The use of the sample

throughout the rest of the song combined
with the beautiful synthesizers highlights
Peggy's impressive production.
"BMT!" also holds its ground as one of
my favorite tracks. It begins with isolated,
compressed military march chants before
JPEGMafia adds a beat and jumps into
a fast-paced and high-energy verse that
continues throughout the duration of the
song. All elements work harmoniously
together to create yet another song unlike
any I have ever heard.
Whether it's a smooth track like "DAM!
DAM! DAM!" and "THE GHOST OF
RANKING DREAD!" or an energetic track
like "DIRTY!" and "TIRED, NERVOUS &amp;
BROKE!," it quickly becomes evident that
JPEGMafia is not afraid of taking risks.
His continuous abstract genre-bending
and use of samples and new sounds makes
him stand out from expectations. A true
artist ventures from the norm and creates
something of his own, and "LP!", with all
its twists and turns, proves JPEGMafia is
capable of such artistry.

Conspiracy theories: the good, the bad and the unbelievable
By Lindsey Scorey
Staff Writer

cethe

herinka

es.

The 21st century has been a time
of incredible change and rather
unimaginable events. In order to explain
the sometimes inexplicable, many people
have turned to conspiracy theories to
find answers - even possibly outlandish
ones.
Britannica defines a conspiracy theory
as "an attempt to explain harmful or
tragic events as the result of the actions
of a small powerful group."
In this definition we see that
conspiracies are a response to the things
we simply cannot put our fingers on or
rationally explain and justify. We as
humans like to have complex answers to
complex issues, because the alternative
seems too easy, too boring even.
It is hard to conceptualize that Area 51
could just be a playground for government

died because of planes being hijacked
more easily than we would like it to
appear.
But when one theory takes off, it starts
making us question everything we ever
knew about a topic. Many large scale

take it so far as to question scientific fact.
Jamie Sayre, P2 student, believes that
conspiracy theories can interfere with
rational thought processes.
"People are comfortable with patterns
and tend to draw conclusions even when
it may be a stretch in hopes to explain
things they do not understand;' she said.
''As you dive deeper into the conspiracy
and track its connections, it is easy to get
sucked in and lose rational thought:'
Sayre said she has seen conspiracies
that have their potential believability, but
that she seeks available facts and evidence
behind a theory in order to make sure it
makes sense and can be rationalized.
So while we can have our theories
be all in good fun, we must make sure
we are being rational and considerate
of all parties involved in a particular
conspiracy theory.
Sometimes the power we hold as large
populations to build momentum on a
theory can be greater than the actual
problem we are trying to solve or explain.

A positive review of the breathtakingly beautiful film 'Spencer'
By Hannah Simerson
Staff Writer

"Spencer" came out in theaters on Nov.
5 and has garnered mixed reviews from
critics and viewers alike. Some think the
film is a stunning tribute to the legacy of
Diana, Princess of Wales, while others
believe it to be a mockery of her name.
"Spencer" follows the royal family,
specifically Diana, as they partake in their
annual Christmas traditions. During
this time, Diana decides to leave Prince
Charles. Although the plot synopsis
sounds uneventful, "Spencer" was one
of the most captivating films that I have
ever seen.
Going into this film, I had little
knowledge of the royal family besides
what I had heard about Diana and even
this und~rstanding was limited. Despite
my lack of previous knowledge of the
history and dynamics of the royal family,
I was immediately engrossed in the
story. I never once felt as if I did not
understand what was unfolding before
me, although I did have to ask my friend
some background questions about the
royal family.
Undoubtedly the biggest success of
the film for me was Kristen Stewart's
performance. I wish I could use this entire
review to talk about the way she naturally

and effortlessly embodied Diana. She was
phenomenal in every way; I could not get
enough of her.
Prior to seeing this film, I was
concerned that I would not be able
to completely suspend my disbelief,
especially considering that I immediately
think of the "Twilight" series whenever
I think of Kristen Stewart. "Spencer"
allowed Stewart the opportunity to
obliterate the notion that she will only
ever be known as "the horrible actress
from the vampire movie". What I saw
from Stewart was raw, vulnerable acting
like I have not seen from even some of
the best actors in the industry.
The role of Diana was cast
perfectly, but so was the
rest of the royal family.
Each member looked
strikingly
like
their
real-life
counterparts, which
was an impressive
feat. Had the cast
looked
different
from the monarchy,
it would have taken
something essential
away from the film, so
the impeccable casting is
something to be celebrated.
The
characterization
of

the royal family was as spot-on as the
casting. Each character was distinct
and thought out; there were no "fluff"
characters that did not advance the
storyline. No character existed merely to
exist. Although I enjoyed seeing the story
unfold through Diana's perspective, the
other characters in the story granted me
what I was lacking from Diana. I cannot
stress this enough: everything worked
extremely well in this film. What one
aspect lacked, another made up for.
I am a huge fan of camera angles and
shot sequences. To me, these can make
or break a film. Each shot was in some
way rejuvenating and striking at the
same time. There was a specific
sequence in the last act
that was so well done
that it gave me chills.
"Spencer" is a film
made for the big
screen. Each angle
and shot was made
with the largeness
of the theater's
screen in mind and
the film certainly
used
that

wisely.
The only aspect of "Spencer" that I did
not enjoy was the serious lack of action.
The conflict was there, but we did not
receive any actual motion until the final
act of the film. I do want to point out that
this did not affect the pacing of the film.
Although there was little motion, the
story did not drag. Rather, I was extremely
invested despite the lack of action, which
speaks to the success of the other aspects
of the film. Again, "Spencer" covers its
bases.
Overall, I rate "Spencer" 4.5 out of
5 stars. It was almost perfect for me.
I think had I had gone into it knowing
more about the royal family, it could have
easily been a perfect score. However, for
someone who does not like period pieces
or historical films, "Spencer" is on my
"Greatest of All Times" list, so do with
this information what you will.
In the film, Diana wonders what
people will say of her in history books,
and she worries about the legacy she will
leave behind her. "Spencer" is certainly a
thoughtfully substantial addition to this
legacy.
You can watch "Spencer" in theaters
across the country.

Light and dark: A needed commentary on daylight saving time
By Rudy Urenovlch
Staff Writer
If you've read some of my past articles,
then you know this semester, to put it
bluntly, I am going through it. I have
never been busier than I have been these
past couple of months.
Now, believe me, I love everything I
am doing and feel so lucky to have these
opportunities. But. .. I'm tired. Every year
I look forward to daylight saving time
ending so I can get a coveted extra hour
of sleep.
That extra hour of rest is probably the
first thing that comes to mind when it is
time to set the clocks back an hour every
fall.
And this year it was especially welcome.
I would say that the first week after we
set the clocks back, which was this past
week, is probably the time I feel the most
_well-rested out of the whole year. I am

actually excited to wake up, and maybe
its because I'm a hypochondriac, but I
feel I get more things done. Perhaps this
has something to do with it being lighter
in the morning. I absolutely hate getting
up when it is still ark out.
I usually hate waking up before I need
to, but I absolutely adore waking up,
glancing at the clock, and seeing I still
have an hour before I have to get up. That
burst of serotonin lasts me the whole
day. I am sure many people feel the same
way as I do. I also bet I am only going to
cherish this extra hour of sleep more and
more every year as I get older.
Now, like literally everything else in
life, I do believe that there is a downside
to daylight saving time ending. I bet you
all know what I am going to say: the fact
that it gets dark at 5 p.m. Actually, saying
it gets dark at 5 p.m. is generous.
The day I'm writing this, I'm sure the
sun was fully set while it was still 4 p.m.

Every single day since then, it seems to
get dark earlier and earlier.
This hugely contrasts what I have said
previously, about having so much more
energy, but when it gets dark out so early
in the dark, any excess of energy I may
have leaves my body. As soon as the sun
sets, I want to be sitting at home watching
Netflix.
I do not want to be at school, driving on
the highway or even be out with friends.
I tend to get a rush off of canceling plans
all year long, but if you want to meet up
with me after 3 p.m. in the winter, forget
about it. It's not happening.
I guess as humans we are programmed
to get tired and want to sleep when the
sun is not in the sky.
Maybe it is because it gets colder out
when the sun goes down that makes me
want to go into hibernation. Maybe it is a
more personal thing. Unlike many people
my age, I do not like to be out at night,

if I can help. I like to be tucked away at
home instead.
Another downside to changing the
clocks is I'm always second-guessing if it
is displaying the correct time. I will drive
myself crazy thinking I am late or have
the wrong time.
I will be totally honest and say I do not
really understand why we do it in the first
place. I know it has something to do with
the farmers, but that's about it.
In conclusion, I love the end of daylight
saving time because we get an extra hour
of sleep, but also hate it because it gets
dark so early. It is kind of a catch 22.
Maybe I am just a difficult person. In
the spring, I am sure I could write an
article complaining about the start of
daylight saving time.
So, stay tuned, I guess.

Dean's Deep Dives: Lil Peep outcast, voice of the voiceless
By Dean Bowen
Staff Writer
Among the endless cast of characters that
rise and fall in the mainstream, it is hard
to find a story more tragic than Lil Peep.
Catapulting to fame at only 20 years old,
Peep's fusion of hip hop and punk struck
a chord with his fanbase, amassing a cult
following that lasts to this day.
Peep's rise and catastrophic fall occurred
over a period of barely two years. In those
two years, he released a staggering amount
of music, reinventing a genre and leaving
classics in his wake. While he has gained
large amounts of esteem posthumously for
hits such as "Star Shopping;' "Witchblades"
and "White Tee:' there is a wealth of good
music in his discography equally deserving
of acclaim. It is through the following list that
I will highlight some of these tracks while
giving a glimpse into the story of one of the
biggest "What If?''s in modern music.
1. "Five Degrees" - "Lil Peep; Part I"
A large aspect of Peep's early lyrical content
and disposition was his unabated hatred for
his hometown; Long Island, New York. "Five
Degrees" is one such inspired track, with
Peep decrying those who made him feel
alone in this place. Over a haunting guitar
instrumental, Peep boldly proclaims that
not only will he escape this beach-themed
hell he's found himself in, but he will do it
using the same parts of himself that made
him hated by its residents in the first place.
Peep additionally explains his chosen name,
giving credit to his much-esteemed mother.
2. "Live Forever" - "Live Forever"

Upon escaping New York and moving to
Los Angeles, Peep then released the "Live
Forever" EP in December of 2015, mere
months after "Lil Peep; Part 1': The title track
especially stood out. Honing his trademark
bravado, Peep ruminates over his potential
for fame over a sample-heavy and hardhitting instrumental produced by frequent
collaborator Brobak. It was with this EP
and the shortly following release of "Star
Shopping" that Peep began to make inroads
with the California underground rap scene,
setting him up for a profound following year.
3. "Beat It" - "CALIFORNIA GIRLS"

Peep began his career-defining year in 2016
with "CALIFORNIA GIRLS;' a collaboration
EP with producer and close friend Nedarb.
As a sign of the sound to come, "Beat It" was a
refinement of Peep's near unparalleled ability
at making heartbreak ballads. As he laments
lost love and the effects of his obsession with
the subject of the track, the commanding and
somber piano-heavy instrumental sets a tone

debut studio album, Peep released "Come
Over When You're Sober, pt.I" on August
15, 2017. The entire album is a classic, and
it thrust Peep further into the mainstream
spotlight. "Problems" is no exception, with
Peep adopting his trademark grim delivery
over a bass-heavy guitar instrumental. It was
with this album that Peep established himself
as a major rising star, making it all the more
tragic that he would suffer a fatal overdose
two months after its release.

-

9. "IDGAF" - "Come Over When You're
Sober, pt. 2"

Peep's death sent shockwaves through
the music world, exposing a system that
abuses underground performers under
the pretense of making them famous.
"IDGAF" is one final gasp of rebellion
from Peep as he simultaneously decries
his mistakes and refuses to accept their
consequences. Layering themes of sex, death
and ambivalence over a sample of Red Hot
Chili Pepper's "Californication;' "IDGAF"
is a standout in an impressive string of
posthumous releases.
10. "Belgium''
SINNER''

undeniable in its emotion.
4. "Come Around" - "Vertigo"

Peep's drug abuse was a recurring theme
throughout his career, providing both
inspiration for his music and endless concern
for his well-being. Opening "Come Around"
with a chillingly foreboding statement of
"I can't feel that much sometimes, these
drugs gon' kill me:' the track serves as a
cautionary tale against a habit that plagued
Peep's life. "Vertigo" added to Peep's growing
momentum as an artist, being released a
mere two days after "CALIFORNIA GIRLS:'
It was these two EPs that pushed Peep's
musical ability even further, leading to two
superb albums released later in 2016.
5. "Nineteen" - "crybaby"
Now leaning into an unapologetically
depressing sound, Peep continued this
monumental year with "crybaby;' released in
June. Highlighted by a massive hit in "White
Tee:' this album was a solidification of Peep's
presence and sound. "Nineteen" is a personal
favorite, serving as his quintessential
heartbreak serenade. Channeling the raw yet
subdued emotion that has captivated listeners
for years, Peep tells the story of a love lost to
his bad decisions. It was "Nineteen'' that got
Peep his first record deal, kicking off a rise in
musical refinement corresponding with a fall
in his personal wellbeing.
6. "OMFG" - "HELLBOY"

Pivoting in sound and capping off
..a year both musically and personally
transformative, Peep released "HELLBOY" 3
months later, in September. The raging and
emotive "OMFG" was a standout track from
this album laden with hits. Disguising a cry
for help as a punk rock banger, Peep belts his
heart out about his suicidal tendencies and
the minimal impact his newfound fame has
had on reducing them. This was a recurring
theme throughout the last year of his life, with
fame and fortune only further complicating
his already distraught mental state.
7. "Your Favorite Dress" - "CASTLES II"
Peep did, however, begin to find solace
in the whirlwind his life had become. This
came in the form of a close friend and
frequent collaborator Lil Tracy, with the
two collaborating on multiple of Peep's
most popular songs. Peep's mother has
stated numerous times that Tracy was one
of the only people she trusted in his rapidly
growing inner circle, with the two having
stuck together through homelessness and
numerous drug overdoses throughout their
friendship. "Your Favorite Dress" is a solid
display of the pair's musical chemistry, as
they continued their run as an unstoppable
duo.
8. "Problems" - "Come Over When
You're Sober, pt. I"

Finally feeling ready to drop a proper

-

"GOTH

ANGEL

Peep's tour in Europe immediately prior
to his passing was a large contributing
factor to his spiral and eventual overdose.
"Belgium" depicts his declining mental
state as Peep speaks directly to a far-away
lover. The final verse is especially haunting
considering the circumstances, with Peep
reflecting upon how he hasn't seen any of his
friends in months due to the tour, noting the
detrimental impact that had on his mental
health.
Everybody's Everything

Legacies are a complicated thing.
Everybody wants to leave one behind,
whether it is through accomplishment or
memory. In just over two years, Lil Peep
managed to do exactly what he intended to
do: leave his mark on the world by being
nothing less than himself. He inspired
countless people worldwide to do the same,
myself included.
In the process, he left behind a discography
unmatched in emotion and authenticity.
The impact of his music is perhaps best
described by the person who knew him best:
his mother. Speaking at his funeral, she said
of her beloved son: "My sweet little Peeper
is gone, but he has surely left us a lot of
wonderful material to review and consider.
He has left me with new people to know. I am
so proud of him. You have no idea:'

Marvel's 'Eternals' does not live up to the MCU's standards
Despite its importance, it fa ilea as a Marvel movie
By Zara Lantzman
Staff Writer

Marvel Studios' new movie "Eternals"
released in theaters on Nov. 5. It is the
26th installment of the Marvel Cinematic
Universe and is part of the studio's phase
four set of films. The movie's original
release date was Nov. 6, 2020, but was
postponed due to COVID-19.
However, "Eternals" was not worth the
year-long wait.
The movie took place after the events of
"Avengers: Endgame;' when everyone was
suffering from the five-year gap that took
place due to Thanos' snap. The Eternals
were living on Earth for 7,000 years
posing as humans, but the reemergence
of the deviants forced them out of the
shadows. The Eternals thought that all
the deviants were dead, but it turned out
that they were just frozen under the ice.
I am an avid Marvel fan. I have seen
almost all MCU movies more than once.
"Eternals" does not even compare to any
of the other MCU movies. In all honesty,
I nearly fell asleep while watching this

movie. There is so much packed into the
movie that makes it boring. The movie is
two hours and 37 minutes long and it just
felt exhausting.
"Eternals" was filled with plot twist
after plot twist after plot twist. It was hard
to understand who the main villain was.
It was interesting, but also confusing.
"Eternals" showed many flashbacks to
certain time periods, but as I said, it was
sometimes hard to keep up.
The CGI in this film was phenomenal.
In the trailer alone, you can truly see the
damage and severity of the emergence.
You can see the chaotic water and the
breaking of the ground. The emergence
is described as the birth of a new celestial
and with that comes the death of a world.
The visual effects when each Eternal
uses their power is unlike anything we
have ever seen from the MCU. They all
use cosmic energy, which connects them
all. Because of this, each power they have
is always the same golden yellow visual
effect that we see.
The diversity in this movie is
impeccable. The Eternals are a diverse

group of people with a variety of dialects
and ethnicities, including Black, Latino,
East Asian, Indian subcontinent, and
Irish. Makkari, who has super-speed,
is Marvel's first deaf superhero (she is
played by deaf actress Lauren Ridloff).
Phastos, played by Brian Tyree Henry, is
the first LGBTQ+ superhero in the MCU.
In the first week, Marvel's "Eternals"
earned an estimated $161.7 million at
the global box office, with $71 million
corning from domestic gross. Rotten
Tomatoes rated "Eternals" at 48 percent.
To put this in perspective, this is the worst
rating for an MCU film in the history of
the franchise. " I personally believe it
does not deserve this rating. While yes
it was not the best movie, there are still
worse movies. Iron Man 2 and Thor: The
Dark World is much worse:'
For as much negativity surrounds
this movie, there are still so many good
aspects of "Eternals:' After all, it is an
MCU movie. The ending to this movie
is amazing and it keeps you on the edge
of your seat. Every single actor was
breathtaking. They own their characters.

We want to
hear your voice!
Let your thoughts be known within the
community. Join the Opinion sectiorl!
Opinion Editor: Breanna.Ebisch@wilkes.edu

Close to classes

These actors make you fall in love with
them and it is heartbreaking for what
they endure.
I suggest that you watch this film if you
enjoy Marvel and are a true fan of the
MCU. But, I do recommend that you wait
for this movie to release on Disney Plus.
This movie is not the best, but still worth
watching. This movie is vital to phase
four of the MCU and will play a major
role in the future of the MCU.

MIH: Tyler Dill's hat-trick leads Colonels over the Monarchs
By Baylee Guedes
Asst. Sports Editor

A matchup that has been brewing since
February 2020 between the Colonels and
the Monarchs finally happened on Friday
as Wilkes took charge and beat King's 5-4.
Historically, Wilkes has taken King's
to the house, beating them consecutively
since the Colonel program started in
2018.
"This rivalry is for real and we knew we
were going to face a better team and we
definitely saw that right away;' said head
coach Tyler Hynes.
Fans were loud, tensions were high
and skates were ready to hit the ice. Both
~earns ~ere ready to claim the title of the
Barre.
In the first period, Wilkes did not
let King's interfere with their title of
"Wilkes-Barre" as they started off with a
goal from senior forward Tyler Dill at the
8:02 mark.
"Some nights the puck just finds a way
to go in the net and it always feels good
when it does;' said Dill.
There were multiple faceoffs in the
first period, mostly won by Wilkes as
the faceoff team was trying to get every
opportunity to get the puck in the net.
The Monarchs remained scoreless
in the first due to seven saves by junior
goaltender
Michael
Paterson-Jones.
The Colonel's defense was able to back
Paterson-Jones up.
King's was able to put a mark on the
scoreboard within a minute into the
second period as they capitalized on a
power play. Jakub Viedemann scored a
goal of his own, and moments later senior
defender Scott Mueller put one in the net
assisted by senior forwards Nick Fea and
Donald Flynn.
"We like to play fast and strong:'
said Mueller. "It always feels great to
contribute in any way possible and Nick

Fea made a great play to me in the middle
of the zone for a goal."
Dill followed Mueller's score with a
goal of his own at the 7:45 mark of the
period with an assist by graduate student
Taylor Brierley.
Three minutes later, Dill got a sharp
pass from senior defender Dylan Kuipers
for another goal for the Colonels. The
Monarchs answered with a goal by Tyler
Blanchard to end the second period with
a score of 4-2.
The third period consisted of a goal by
junior forward Nick Godfrey, assisted by
Fea and Tyson Araujo.
"Our mindset was just to play our brand
of hockey;' said Godfrey. "It was a huge
relief to be quite honest. Any way that I
can help the team and contribute as much
as possible is always a great feeling:'
Wilkes' defense let up two goals to
King's in the third, making the score 5-4.
The sudden tight score of the game was
unnerving for Hynes as he needed to lead
his team to a win and for the title of the
"Barre:'
"We were trying to hold on:' said
Hynes. "King's took it to us in the third
and we just did not have any response."
Wilkes was able to hold out and gain
the 5-4 win due to early scores by Dill,
Mueller, and Godfrey.
"Dill was really good;' said Hynes.
"Big players play big in big games and
he seemed like the only big guy that we
had going. We are going to have to be
better if we want to win another game
against King's because that is a team that
is hungry and getting better."
The next Colonel matchup will be on
Nov. 14 as Wilkes will travel to Albertus
Magnus College. The battle of the "Barre"
rivalry will continue as Wilkes will host
King's College on Jan. 28.

WBB: Babcock-less Colonels stru gle to overpower Widener
By Jason Eberhart
Sports Staff Writer
The women's basketball team took on
the visiting Widener Pride on Saturday
afternoon in the Marts Center. The
Colonels were defeated for the first time
this season by a score of 65-42.
Wilkes was without its returning leader
scorer, junior guard Brenna Babcock,
as she is dealing with a knee injury. The
Colonels needed someone to fill her shoes
as they took on an experienced Widener
team.
"You have to be prepared for stuff like
that to happen;' said head coach Tara
Macciocco. "We need that next man up
mentality, and need people to step up and
take on that role."
Luckily for the Colonels, fellow junior
guard Katelyn Kinczel stepped up big
right out of the gates. She led Wilkes with
eight first quarter points, including two
three-pointers, as they kept pace with the
Pride early on.
"I think my confidence shooting the
ball comes down to practicing a lot and
working on the fundamentals;' said
Kinczel. "In practice, we do a lot of
game-like scenarios, and I know I have
my teammates that are always there
supporting me:'
In the second quarter, the two teams
went back and forth at a frantic pace, as
they each tried to find a little separation.
Sophomore guard Julia Marino really
began to find her footing as she controlled
the offense for the Colonels while

Julla Marino grips the ball as she rips It through several defenders and
drives It to the hoop.

pressuring the opposing ball handler.
"I just want to do whatever I can for my
team and help us win," said Marino. "If
that's me being more vocal for everyone,
and stepping up in a leadership role, then
that's what I'm going to do:'
Just as the Colonels seemed poised to
go into the locker room on a roll, Marino
suffered an ankle injury, causing her to
miss the rest of the first half Widener was

able to get a couple of easy points, and
now had a 33-26 lead at halftime.
The Pride continued to ride the
momentum they got late in the second
quarter, as they dominated the third.
Wilkes lost all of its rhythm on offense,
which allowed Widener to get some easy
buckets on the fast break and in the paint.
"I think the majority of their scores
came off of transition baskets and

offensive rebounds;' said Macciocco. "We
are a small team. We've got to do a better
job of putting a body on someone. And
not just putting a body on someone, but
go get the ball."
Whenever Widener did miss a shot, the
ball always seemed to end up right back in
their hands. They dominated the offensive
glass all afternoon long, negating any
chance the Colonels had in getting back in
the game. Many of the Pride points in the
third quarter came off second chances, as
they won the quarter 17-5 to give them a
big lead going into the final quarter.
"In the first half, we kept a higher
intensity, where in the second half, we
let a few made baskets on their end to
lower our intensity;' said Kinczel. "We
just have to keep that consistent intensity
throughout the whole game:•
Wilkes tried to fight their way back into
the game in the fourth quarter, but were
unable to capitalize on the offensive end.
Widener used its length and quickness to
hamper the Colonel offense, as they shot
just 24 percent as a team on the day.
"They are a very good basketball team;'
said Macciocco about Widener. "I thought
we hung with them for 20-25 minutes or
so, but against a team like that you have to
play 40 minutes:'
The Colonels will look to get back into
the win column on Saturday as they take
on Marywood University in the Cross
County Challenge at Scranton University.

WREST: First-years show promise in season's home opener ·
By Arlel Reed
Sports Editor
The wrestling team adorned the Marts
center in front of fans for the first time
since the 2020 season. However, the team
fell 31-3 to The College of New Jersey.
"We enjoyed wrestling in front of a great
energetic crowd;' said head coach Jon
Laudenslager. "We may have not gotten
the outcome we wanted, but this was the
first dual meet in a Wilkes singlet for seven
of the 10 guys we put on the mat tonight.
TCNJ did a great job and had a very veteran
line-up with many years of experience on
us. We were right in many matches, now we
just need to find a way to turn many almost
upsets into victories:'
The Colonels started off hot with a win
in the 125-pounds bout where local firstyear Austin Fashouer won handily giving
Wilkes the early 3-0 lead.
From there, the Lions commandeered
the match and won out the next eight
matchups.
Sophomore Michael Richardson at the
141-pounds match was close to getting the
Colonels another victory as he held a 4-3
lead at the end of the second period, but
TCNJ snagged a penalty to tie the score and
send it to overtime.
Unfortunately, TCNJ scored a takedown
in the sudden death frame to win the match.
"We didn't get it done or the outcome
we hoped for:' said Richardson. "There is
always a spot for improvement for myself
and the other wrestlers. We have a whole

season ahead of us, we're not going to let
one match define what team we are:'
Wilkes had another glimmer of hope to
get points on the board with the 165-pounds
bout when junior James Geiger was tied 3-3
with TCNJ's Matt Surich at the end of the
first period.
Geiger ended up falling behind two

points in the second frame. Heading into
the third, Geiger scored on an escape
to close the point differential to two. He
attempted a takedown, but his efforts were
unsuccessful and he fell 6-4.
Heading towards the closing of the
match, first-year Cameron Butka wrestled
the 197-pounds bout. Butka and TCNJ's

Quinn Haddad traded points back-andforth throughout the match-up. Haddad
tied the match at eight points with 40
seconds remaining on the clock. Butka
attempted a takedown within the final 30
seconds of the frame to get the win, but he
could not complete the move and ended up
falling in that bout.
"During my final moments, my goal was
to put everything I had into getting one
more takedown to secure the win;' said
Butka. "Despite my best efforts, I fell short
of my goal. However, there is always room
to improve, and I'll be even more prepared
for my next time on the mat."
Laudenslager spoke about how proud he
was of Butka's effort since he is only a firstyear, going against a top-ten wrestler, who
has gone to the NCAA tournament, and
this was his first dual match proves that his
career with Wilkes is going to be great.
"Overall, we certainly hate losing, but we
put some good things together in matches
against a top 15 team;' said Laudenslager.
"With so many new guys in our line-up it's
nice to see the ability to contend so early
in the season against some well-seasoned
college wrestlers. We are still finding out
our own strengths and weaknesses on
the mat, so once we can put full matches
together, I expect we can win many of the
matches we saw tonight:'
The Colonels return to the mat tonight
against Elizabeth College at 7 p.m.

COLLEGE CALENDAR ............ 176

Wilkes College had its beginning in 1933 when Bucknell University,
responding to a request of community leaders, established its Junior
College in Wilkes-Barre. On June 26, 1947, Bucknell University Junior College came to an end and Wilkes College received its charter as a
four-year, coeducational, liberal arts college. The College has grown
to its current enrollment of approximately 2,000 full-time day students
and 500 part-time evening school students and over 300 graduate
students.
From its inception the College has been dedicated to these twin
goals - a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students
and a program of service to the community.
It was inevitable that the new college should be non-sectarian, for
its purpose was to serve all students equally and its supporters wished
the College to integrate itself with all constructive efforts in the community. It was believed that these ends could be served best by an independent college that was interdenominational in its influence and
non-denominational in its control. With responsibility came a pressing
desire to strengthen the work of the faculty, united in their belief that
the intellectual and spiritual resources of the student are vigorous
where the creative mind is free.

A college that wishes to serve all groups requires both a definite
philosophy and a working policy. Wilkes College has been guided by
the thought that unity in our community, our nation, and our world
requires not only great vision but warm understanding of peoples. In
its small circle Wilkes College brings together students of many faiths,
backgrounds, and countries. It encourages them to maintain their
convictions and their loyalties. It also encourages them to create
friendships based upon respect for differences, and to adhere to those
ideals that create unity and good will amidst diversity.

ACCREDITATION
Wilkes College is accredited by the Department -0f Education of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools.
In addition to the total program accreditation certain special areas
are recognized by professional societies. The Chemistry curriculum is
approved by the American Chemical Society.
The baccalaureate program in nursing is fully approved by the
Pennsylvania State Board of Nurse Examiners and the Department of

. '-1

�Page7

Nursing is also a member of the Council of Baccalureate and Higher
Degree Programs, National League for Nursing. Graduates of this
program are eligible for admission to the examination for licensure to
practice professional nursing in any state.

THE COLLEGE COMMUNITY

The College is a member of the Middle Atlantic Collegiate Athletic
Conference, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the Eastern
Collegiate Athletic Conference, the Association for Intercollegiate
Athletics for Women, the Eastern Association for Intercollegiate Athletics, Northeastern Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Athletic Association
for College Women, and the Susquehanna Field Hockey Association.

STUDENT LIFE

POLICY

An active Student Government and numerous campus clubs and organizations provide a structure of activities for student life outside of
the classroom. An Inter-Dormitory Council and Commuter Council
plan and coordinate activities for on-campus and off-campus students
as well.

It is College policy that all campus organizations be open to all students; consequently, groups that are exclusive do not exist. All student
groups work in cooperation with faculty advisors and deans.

In addition to the curricular and co-curricular activities of particular organizations, a number of all-campus events are held each year.
Parents' Day, Homecoming, Winter Carnival, and the Spring Weekend are typical of the social and cultural events which are regarded as
important in the development of an active and involved student body.

Wilkes College, in both its official and unofficial capacities, views
itself as sharing a vital and mutually-enriching partnership with both
the Wilkes-Barre and Northeastern Pennsylvania communities.

The College also offers an outlet for students interested in developing their communications skills. Students publish the Beacon, a weekly newspaper; the Manuscript, a journal of art, poetry, and fiction;
and the Amnico/a, the College annual.
The College also maintains an FM radio station, WCLH, which is
operated by students and broadcasts daily throughout the Wyoming
Valley.
Other student activities include the Theater, the College Band, College Choruses, numerous brass, woodwind, and percussion ensembles, Madrigal Singers, and an active intercollegiate forensics and
debate organization.

ATHLETICS

The College and The Community

The College has long recognized that its growth was related to the
economic and social development of the community and, therefore, it
has sought actively and enthusiastically to participate in every effort
for community betterment.

INSTITUTE OF REGIONAL AFFAIRS
The Institute of Regional Affairs has been established by Wilkes as
a multi-purpose organization which views regional problems as belonging to no single academic discipline, but rather as opportunities
for multi-disciplinary community involvement. Its resources include
not only the College faculty, but also those experts in the region who
can lend their talents to the solution of various of the region's problems. Its four-fold purpose is: education and training, community information, research, and consultation.

The College views men's and women's athletics as an integral part
of the activity program. An active intramural sports program is maintained each year, and the College also schedules intercollegiate athletic
~ontests in eleven varsity sports: football, baseball, basketball, soccer,
golf, tennis, swimming, wrestling, cross-country, field hockey, and lacrosse.

Among the activities of the Institute of Regional Affairs are included: a management training program under which special classes
are organized for personnel in industry, commerce, and banking;
individually-designed programs for members of labor unions; a
Municipal Government Program which offers in-service training activities for local government officials; and a Research Center which is
available to faculty, administration, and alumni.

One of the highlights of the athletic year is the Wilkes Open Wrestling Championship. This annual tournament attracts athletes from
over sixty colleges, athletic clubs, and YMCA's throughout the United
States. The tournament, the largest in the country, has the record for
the greatest number of entries.

As a result of the support and the success of the College's Institute
of Regional Affairs, an independent Economic Development Council
has also been established to serve Northeastern Pennsylvania. The
College has supported a number of programs in their infancy and
helped them become independent, community activities.

EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT CENTER
By mutual agreement with the Pennsylvania Department of Education, an arm of the Educational Development Center has been established on the campus of Wilkes College. The Center located at Wilkes
has as its statewide mission the development of curriculum models in
various disciplines for elementary and secondary education. At the
local level the center has helped to plan the functions of the local intermediate unit and continues to work closely with the unit to provide
service to school districts in the area.

Policies and Objectives

SIGMA XI
Sigma Xi, the Scientific Research Society of North America, has
established a local affiliate on the Wilkes College campus. The Club
serves as a forum for cooperation and exchange of ideas among
research-oriented scientists in the area. The Club welcomes as members local collegiate, professional, and industrial researchers engaged in original scientific investigations.

CULTURAL ACTIVITIES
Wilkes also plays an active role in the support and development of
various cultural activities throughout the region. Members of the
faculty and student body participate in the Northeastern Pennsylvania
Philharmonic orchestra and the Wyoming Valley Oratorio Society.
The College joins area-wide cultural groups each year for the Fine
Arts Fiesta, a four-day f es ti val of music, drama, and the arts presented each spring, and the annual week-long Cherry Blossom Festival.

Financial Assistance
Trust Funds, Scholarships, and Awards

An active Theater program, as well as a carefully selected Concert
and Lecture Series, is presented throughout the regular college year.

necessary.
Students intending to major in Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Medical Technology, or Physics
should have at least three years of college preparatory mathematics
courses (including algebra II, geometry, and topics in trigonometry)
so as to be prepared to take Math. 105 or 111 (calculus) in the first
term of the freshman year. The student without such background is
advised to take, preferably in the summer preceding entrance, Math.
100 (algebra and trigonometry) offered at Wilkes or an equivalent
course at another college or university. Credits in such remedial
courses will not exempt the student from any required elective in these
programs.

APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION
Applications for admission and instructions regarding secondary
school records, recommendations, and entrance examinations may be
obtained from the Dean of Admissions. The completed applications
should be returned with a $10 application fee.

ADMISSIONS TESTS
The Scholastic Aptitude Test of the College Entrance Examination
Board is required of all applicants. Students should plan to take this
examination in December or January of their senior year. If unusual
circumstances prevent the applicant from taking this test, he must
notify the Dean of Admissions. Students who wish the Admissions
Committee to review their application on the basis of College Boards
taken in their junior year should make this request in writing to the
Dean of Admissions. Wilkes is a member of the College Entrance Examination Boards.
Students communicating with the Educational Testing Center in
Princeton, New Jersey, or in Los Angeles, California, should refer to
the Wilkes College code number 2977.

ACCEPTANCE OF ADMISSION AND DEPOSIT
After receipt of the secondary school record, the secondary school
recommendations, and the senior College Board scores, the Admis-

Page 11

sions Office acts upon all applications. Notification of action is sent
immediately. Resident students are required to forward a $100 tuition
and dormitory deposit by May 1 in order to guarantee their entry into
the College. Commuting students are required to forward a $50 tuition deposit by May 1.
The College accepts a limited number of applications for the spring
semester. Procedures are similar to those followed in the fall semester.

PERSONAL INTERVIEWS
A personal interview with each student is not required. Students and
their families are invited to visit the College at their convenience. It is
advisable to write for an appointment so that the appropriate deans
may arrange to meet with them.
Music applicants are required to audition for the music faculty.

TRANSFER STUDENTS
Candidates from other institutions wishing to enter with advanced
standing shall follow the regular procedure for admission. The student
should have official transcripts forwarded to the Admissions Office of
all college work completed. Students offered admission should secure
a personal interview with the Dean of Admissions, at which time an
evaluation of the transfer credits will be made and a tentative program
scheduled. This program will be subject to final review by the faculty
adviser at the time of registration. Acceptable credits will be placed on
the Wilkes record of the student following a final evaluation. Students
transferring into the nursing program will arrange their scheduling
and registration in consultation with the Department of Nursing.
College policy prohibits the Admissions Committee from considering or admitting any student who has been placed on academic probation or who has been dismissed from any other college or university
until a period of one year has elapsed.

ADVANCED COURSE STANDING
Students who have undertaken college-level courses in secondary
school or students who have demonstrated ability in a particular subject area may request college credit for such work and permission to
enter advanced courses. To qualify for advanced placement, the student must obtain the recommendation of the department involved
based upon that department's criteria for granting such credit.
On the basis of comprehensive examinations, the College grants
credits in certain courses to entering students who, by enrollment in
advanced placement courses in secondary schools or self-study, can

Page 13

demonstrate mastery of the material covered in the courses involved.
Interested persons may contact the chairpersons of the respective
departments for further details.

the Admissions Committee. At this time the Committee recommends
continued work for a degree, probation, or withdrawal from the
Evening Division.

CLEP (College Level Examination Program)
Wilkes College students may receive credit through the CLEP examinations.

Non-degree students may be admitted to classes which they are
qualified to take by reason of their maturity, previous education, and
work experience. Secondary school training is desirable but not necessary, provided the student is qualified to follow such special courses of
instruction.

Counseling
The guiding principle of all Wilkes counseling is to encourage
students to discover their own abilities and potential and to assist them
in making sound, independent decisions.

FRESHMAN ORIENTATION PROGRAM
The transition from the directed work of the high school to the independent and more intensive work of the College occasionally causes
difficulty. Several days during the summer and at the beginning of the
term are, therefore, set aside to assist freshmen in planning their
academic programs.
During this period, new students may take aptitude and interest
tests. New students are given an opportunity to become acquainted
with one another and to learn about the College, the curriculum, and
the student activities.

STUDENT ADVISEMENT
Students sometimes need guidance in resolving personal, social, and
academic difficulties. Since a student's physical and mental health
affect his studies and his grades, he is encouraged throughout his college career to consult with his classroom instructors, his faculty advisor, the deans, or the department chairmen concerning his scholastic
progress.
EVENING DIVISION
The Evening Division offers educational opportunities to adults
who cannot attend day classes. Students may register for courses in
the Evening Division and earn credits toward an undergraduate degree. Graduate courses are also offered during the evening hours.
Students will confer with the Director of the Evening Division to
arrange a course of study to meet their needs, abilities, and special requirements. During the semester students will consult with the Director of the Evening Division concerning their program.

the Director of Continuing Education and Graduate Studies.

GRADUATE DIVISION
Information concerning admission to the Graduate Division may be
obtained from the Office of the Director of Graduate Studies. The
College issues a supplementary graduate bulletin.

first semester program. Inquiries regarding clarification or change

STUDENT RECORDS
In accordance with the provisions of ''The Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act of 1974," students, upon request, will be given
access to all their evaluative records which have been established by
Wilkes College. Such records might typically include those maintained
by the Placement Office, the Health Services Office, the Registrar's

fewer hours than are normal for his course of study.

6. Financial aid is awarded for a one-year period. Aid will be
renewed upon request, however, provided the request is supported by
a good academic record, evidence of continued need, and constructive
participation in at least one all-college activity of the student's choice.
7. The amount of the aid is confidential. Any breach of this confidence shall terminate the award.

its students. Wilkes College is dedicated to the belief that no student
who is eligible for admission to the College should be denied the
chance to begin a college education, nor forced to withdraw after matriculation for purely financial reasons.
Wilkes Scholarship grants are available to students with good records of achievement and performance in high school or college who
cannot finance fully the cost of their education. These funds, combined with those furnished by the State and Federal Governments, are offered to students in packages consisting usually of grants, loans, and
work.

BASIC EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY GRANTS
Federal Grants ranging from $200 to $1,400 are available to those
students who demonstrate need. The amount of individual grants are
related directly to the student's eligibility index as determined by the
Basic Grants Program and cost of education. Application forms are
available at any Federal Office or the College Financial Aid Office.

2. Students requesting financial aid shall indicate this in the appropriate space on the application for admission.

SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL
OPPORTUNITY GRANTS

Wilkes College participates in the College Scholarship Service (CSS)
of the College Entrance Examination Board. Participants in the College Scholarship Service subscribe to the principle that the amount of
financial aid granted a student should be based on financial need. The
College Scholarship Service assists colleges and universities in determining the student's need for financial assistance. All entering

Federal grants ranging from $200 to $1,000 are available to those
students demonstrating exceptional financial need, who, except for
this aid, would be unable to obtain a higher education. Although these
grants are intended to supplement Basic Grants, these also may be
awarded to students whose expected parental contribution, as determined by the College Scholarship Service, does not exceed one-half
the student's educational costs.

STATE SCHOLARSHIPS
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania offers direct grants to students meeting the criteria set forth by the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) program. High school students
from other states wishing information concerning their state's program should contact their guidance counselor.

Loans
STUDENT LOAN FUNDS
The Florence and Joseph A. Goldman Loan Fund has been created
by the donors to assist juniors and seniors whose education may be interrupted by unexpected difficulties. The loan bears no interest and is
to be repaid by the student at the earliest practical time so that other
students may receive needed assistance from this revolving loan fund.
The Robert W. Hall Student Loan Fund was established by Robert
W. Hall, class of 1951, to assist students in meeting small emergency
financial needs.

GULF OIL CORPORATION STUDENT LOAN FUND
In 1972, the Gulf Oil Corporation established this revolving loan
fund to make low-interest loans available to students who have exhausted all other means of obtaining financial assistance. Loans are
interest-free while the student remains at the College, and are to be
repaid within five years after the student leaves Wilkes.

NATIONAL DIRECT STUDENT LOAN FUND
Long-term, low-interest loans are available to students who demonstrate financial need. The amount of the loan is determined by need
with a maximum of $1,000 per academic year. Interest and repayment
are deferred until the student leaves school. The program includes
cancellation benefits for graduates who teach in schools having a high
concentration of students from low-income families or who teach handicapped children. Graduates who enter military service are also accorded cancellation privileges. Applicants will be notified by the Committee if their financial aid package includes a National Direct Student
Loan.

NURSING STUDENT LOANS
Federal loans of up to $2,500, depending on demonstrated need, are
available to students enrolled in the Department of Nursing. Interest
and repayment are deferred until the student leaves school. Borrowers
may cancel up to 85 per cent of the total loan, plus interest, if
employed as a full-time registered nurse in any public or private nonprofit agency, institution or organization, or agrees to serve as a

registered nurse in an area designated as a shortage area. The actual
percentage of cancellation depends on the type of service performed
and the number of years of such employment completed.

STATE GUARANTY LOAN PROGRAMS
Most states now operate guaranteed loan programs which enable
students to borrow from their local banks to meet educational expenses. Ordinarily, no interest is charged while the student remains in
school if the family's adjusted gross income is below $25,000, nor on
that portion of the loan recommended by the Financial Aid Office
after an evaluation of the financial need of the student. Applications
and further information are available at the student's hometown
bank, savings-and-loan association, or credit union participating in
the program.

Employment
PART-TIME EMPLOYMENT
The College cautions the student to limit off-campus work,
especially during the freshman year, when working may result in
academic failure.
However, part-time jobs in offices, stores, and industry are
available for students wishing to earn part of their expenses. For such
jobs the student will register with the College Placement Office.

COLLEGE EMPLOYMENT
The College participates in the College Work-Study Program in
conjunction with the Federal Government. Part-time employment,
not to exceed 15 hours per week during class periods, is available in a
variety of on-campus departments. Prospective employees must meet
financial need requirements set forth by the Federal Government.
Student-employees shall meet all obligations of their assignments or
forfeit this help from the College.

DEFERRED PAYMENT PLANS
The College has authorized the operation of three plans through
which costs of tuition and other educational expenses may be met
from current family income. These loan agreements are to be repaid
during the year through monthly repayment plans. Additional information can be secured through the Financial Aid Office or by

Undergraduate Programs

Degree Requirements

The program at Wilkes has been carefully designed so that students
may meet the entrance requirements of graduate and professional
schools. Students planning to go to graduate school should consult as
early as possible with their department chairperson.
In its degree programs Wilkes College provides for a broad liberal
education and for the concentration in special areas for which
students are qualified and have interest. In the Bachelor of Arts and
Bachelor of Science degree programs the faculty encourages students
to achieve intellectual, social, and spiritual development.

Areas of Study
Mankind's knowledge has tended to be identified in three major
areas or divisions of study. These areas and the departments identified
with them are listed below. Students will be required to take a general
program of courses distributed in these three areas to provide a sound
liberal orientation in the varying fields of human knowledge.
Academic degrees will sometimes require a specific set of these courses
to meet degree requirements. Individual departments will identify
these requirements when students register.

AREAS
Humanities
Art
English
Foreign Languages
&amp; Literatures
Music
Philosophy

Social Sciences
Commerce &amp; Finance
Education (Elementary
&amp; Secondary)

DOUBLE MAJOR
Students who wish to complete the requirements in two programs
may elect to graduate with a double major. The student must declare
intent to graduate with a double major by completing the appropriate
form available at the Registrar's Office. It is the student's responsibility to seek the approval of the chairpersons of both departments to ensure that all requirements of the two majors are fulfilled.

Bachelor of Arts Degree
Programs leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree are primarily concerned with the cultivation of an understanding of our civilization and
of the people who have created it and lived in it. Studies center around
cultures and events, thoughts and institutions, art and science. Programs are designed to create breadth and perspective as opposed to
more specialized skills.
A liberal arts program must acquaint the student with the nature
and extent of knowledge in all the principal fields. The student will
carry on explorations in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences.

SELECTION OF A MAJOR
To provide depth of knowledge, some concentration is required. It
is essential that the major field of concentration be elected before the
beginning of the junior year.
Majors in the Bachelor of Arts degree program may be selected
from the following subject areas:
Art
Biology
Chemistry
Computer Science
Economics
Elementary Education
English
Theater Arts
Environmental Sciences

Foreign Languages:
French
German
Spanish
History
Individualized Studies
International Relations
Mathematics
Music

Philosophy
Physics
Political Science
Psychology
Social Science/
Urban Affairs
Sociology Anthropology

Bachelor of Science Degree
The Bachelor of Science degree programs require more concentration within a restricted area of human thought and activity. Although
these programs emphasize knowledge and skill in special fields, a basic
program of general education is coupled with this specialized effort.

SELECTION OF A MAJOR
Majors in the Bachelor of Science degree program may be selected
from the following subject areas:
Biology
Chemistry
Commerce and Finance
(a) Accounting
(b) Business Administration
(c) Business Education
Computer Science

Engineering
Environmental Sciences
Mathematics
Medical Technology
Music Education
Nursing

Academic Requirements

Below is an example illustrating the method used to compute point
averages.

GRADES

Course

The primary purpose of any marking system is to inform the student of his achievement. Marks also aid in evaluating students for the
purpose of recommendation. Grade reports are sent to students at the
end of each term. Mid-term reports are sent if the work is unsatisfactory.

Bio. 101 ................... .
Eng. 101 ................... .

Five numerical grades are given for academic work.
Grade
Interpretation
4 ........... Academic achievement of outstanding quality.
3 ........... Academic achievement of high quality.
2 ........... Academic achievement of acceptable quality in
meeting requirements for graduation.
1 ........... Academic achievement of quality below the
average required for graduation.
0 ........... Academic achievement below the minimum
required for course credit.
P .......... Passing, no credit.
W .......... Withdrawal.
N .......... Audit (No credit).
"X," "Inc.," means that the student received an incomplete grade.
lncompletes will be granted to students who, because of illness or
reasons beyond their control, have been unable to satisfy all course requirements including the final examination. When such a grade is
given, the incomplete work must be made up by or before the end of
the fourth week following the last day of the examination period. If
the incomplete is not removed within this time, or an extension of time
granted by the instructor who gave the grade or by some other
authorized person, and the Registrar's Office so notified, the grade
will be changed to a zero on the student's record.

COURSE CREDITS
Each course at the College is assigned a specific number of credits.
For example, English 101 is a 3-credit course and Chemistry 201 is a 4credit course. Usually, credits assigned to the course are determined
by the number of hours that the class meets per week.

Notice that the student has accumulated 12 credits toward graduation. The zero grade in English means that the student must repeat
that course.
Averages are cumulative; the work of each semester will be added to
the total. To graduate a student must have at the end of the senior year
at least a 1.85 average for all courses and a 2.0 average in the major
field.
Tran sfer credits are not included in the calculation of grade
averages.

CLASS STANDING
Grades and averages at the end of each semester of the four
academic years indicate a student's progress. Unless the following
minimum averages are met, a student's record is automatically reviewed by the Academic Standing Committee.

Freshman Year .................... .
Sophomore Year ................... .
Junior Year ...................... .

General
Average

Major
Average

1.40
1.70
1.85

2.0

If these minimum averages are not attained during each semester of
the year indicated, the Academic Standing Committee will review the
student's record and take action resulting in his being placed on probation or dismissed from the College.

PROBATION AND DISMISSAL
A student placed on probation must attain the required grade average in the next semester or be subject to dismissal from the College.

�Page44

Unless special perm1ss1on is granted by the Academic Standing
Committee, a student dropped for academic failure will not be considered for readmission until one year after being dropped.
If readmitted the student will still be on probation and shall be given

one semester in which to prove his ability to continue in college.

ATTENDANCE
Attendance at all classes is expected. Repeated absence is deemed a
sufficient cause for failure.
After five consecutive absences from a class, a student may be readmitted to the class only by action of the appropriate dean and the
department chairperson concerned.

STUDENT LOAD
No students shall be allowed to carry an overload without the approval of the advisor and the appropriate dean. An overload will be
permitted only for students with an average grade record of 3 or
special need.

WITHDRAWALS
A student may drop any course through the tenth week of the
semester. A mark of "W" will be recorded if the student has properly
notified the instructor, his faculty advisor, and the appropriate dean.
A student who withdraws from a course after the tenth week of classes
but who continues other courses will receive a zero unless the appropriate dean, faculty advisor, and instructor agree that the student
be permitted to drop the course without prejudice, in which case a
"W" will be recorded. Seven-week modular courses may be dropped
through the sixth week of classes by following the same procedure.
No student who has been advised to withdraw from the College's
day school for academic reasons will be permitted to register in the
Evening Division without the approval of the Academic Standing
Committee and then will be allowed to register only as a nonmatriculated student.
Students who withdraw from the College or drop courses should
give prompt written or verbal notice to the appropriate dean or the
Director of the Evening Division and to the instructor concerned, in
order that their records may not unjustly show failure in courses.

CHANGE OF MAJOR
Students who wish to transfer from one department to another shall
obtain the approval of the advisor and the department chairperson.
The student shall satisfy the curriculum requirements of the bulletin in

Page45

force at the time of transfer. Change-of-major forms are available in
the Registrar's Office.

TRANSFER OF SUMMER CREDITS
Students desiring to study at another college during the summer
must petition the deans for approval. The student must earn a grade
of 2 or higher in order for the work to be credited toward graduation.
In some cases it may be necessary for a student to take examinations
before credit is granted.
Transfer credits are not included in the calculation of grade point
averages.

DEAN'S LIST
The faculty gives recognition for high quality work. Candidates for
the Dean's List, published at the end of each term, must obtain a point
average of 3 .25 or higher for all courses taken. Students taking less
than twelve credit hours will not be eligible for the Dean's List.

HONORS
The granting of honors at Commencement is based upon the entire
academic record achieved by students in their work at Wilkes College,
such work to total at least 60 credits earned. The record of transfer
students previous to their entrance at Wilkes must have been of cum
laude quality to be eligible for consideration. Transfer students with
fewer than 60 credits will be considered only when, for exceptional
reasons, the chairperson of the department of the student's major recommends that this be done.
Requirements for Honors are:
Summa Cum Laude
3.80
Magna Cum Laude
3 .50
Cum Laude
3.25

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
All candidates for degrees and certificates are expected to be present
at Commencement. If circumstances prevent their attendance, students must apply to the Dean of Student Affairs for permission to
take the degree or certificate in absentia.
The faculty has approved the following requirements which
students must satisfy in order to be eligible for graduation:
1. They must complete all subjects required for the degree as stated
in the Bulletin in force at the time of admission to the program. All
students must complete the last 30 credits in residence at the College.

�Page47

Page46

3. They must obtain a minimum cumulative average of 1.85 for all
courses.
4. They must obtain a minimum cumulative average of 2.0 for all
subjects within his major.
5. They must satisfy all requirements pertaining to the physical
education program.

6. They must demonstrate competence in written and spoken
English.
No student shall be graduated until all financial obligations to the
College have been satisfied.

B.A. AND B.S. DEGREE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
The following pages describe specific courses and requirements for
each degree major. The student is responsible for meeting the requirements of his or her major program.
A candidate for graduation during his senior year should report
during the first week in January to the Office of the Registrar to submit an order for a diploma, review requirements for a degree, and
complete other necessary forms required of candidates for degrees.

SECOND DEGREE
Students who hold a degree from this or another accredited institution may be awarded a second baccalaureate degree in certain circumstances. One of the degrees must have a major in Commerce and Finance, Engineering, Music Education or Nursing. Candidates for a
second degree must earn at least thirty credits beyond those completed
for the first degree; these thirty credits must be earned at Wilkes
College.

GENERAL CORE REQUIREMENTS
The General Core Requirements consist of a broad spectrum of
courses in the liberal arts and sciences. These courses, which are central in a liberal arts education, are required of all Wilkes College

Biology
Associate Professor Turoczi, chairperson; Professor Reif; Associate Professors Hayes,
Houseknecht, Ogren; Assistant Professors Doty, Erickson, Rigley.

The biology program is a general program covering basic areas of
biology. Specific pre-professional training is minimized in favor of the
broadest possible background in the liberal arts as well as the
biological sciences.
The B.A. curriculum offers flexibility so that it can be used by those
students in secondary education who are preparing to teach and must
include the professional semester of student teaching either in the
seventh or eighth semester. In addition, this program provides the opportunity for students to double major and jointly satisfy the requirements of both the Department of Biology as well as those of the
other department involved.
The B.S. curriculum meets all of the liberal arts requirements for
the Bachelor of Arts degree. In addition, it provides a greater concentration of advanced biology courses. This program is recommended
for those students planning to enter industry or continue with
graduate study in biology.
For science majors, other than biology majors, the Department of
Biology recognizes that individualized biology module selections may
be more appropriate than a generalized module sequence, therefore
such students are advised to consult with the Department of Biology.

The Department of English offers a variety of programs for
students interested in language and the language arts: they may concentrate in literature, in writing, in linguistics, in speech, in communication studies, or in theater arts. These programs are broadly
based in the values traditionally associated with humane learning, and
prepare students for such diverse careers as teaching, law, government
service, theater, communications, and business.
Students who major in English are required to take English 101 and
102 in their freshman year; and English 151, 253, and 254 in their
sophomore year. They may choose concentrations as follows:
Literature. The concentration in literature requires 24 credit hours
in advanced literature courses. These must include at least one
course in a major writer, one course in either the novel or drama,
two period courses in literature before 1900, and one seminar.
Honors. Qualified students who concentrate in literature may be
invited to participate in an honors program which may lead to
graduation with distinction in English. The program consists of a
planned series of seminars and independent research in the junior
and senior years, culminating in a thesis and a comprehensive examination.
Writing. The concentration in writing requires 12 credit hours in
advanced literature courses; English 201, and nine additional credit
hours in advanced writing couses; and the submission of a portfolio
of the student's work.
Linguistics. The concentration in linguistics requires 12 credit
hours in advanced literature and writing courses, and 12 in
linguistics.
Speech. The concentration in speech requires 15 credit hours in advanced English courses and 15 in speech.
Communication Studies. The concentration in communication
studies requires 15 credit hours in advanced English courses, and 15
in communication studies. Students are expected to work out a
coherent program through close consultation with their adviser.

Mathematics

Additional requirements for the D.A. degree:

The Department of Mathematics &amp; Computer Science offers
courses of study leading to the B.A., B.S., M.S. degrees and, in
cooperation with the Education Department, the M.S. in Education
with a concentration in Mathematics. A combined five-year B.S.-M.S.
degree program in mathematics is also available. It is described in the
Special Degree and Non-Degree Program Section. Descriptions of
graduate programs are contained in a separate graduate bulletin.
The baccalaureate programs are designed to provide a firm
background for graduate studies in pure and applied mathematics, for
careers in industry, the computer field, governmental service, and
secondary or elementary school teaching.
In recent years, the mathematical sciences have played an everexpanding role not only in the physical sciences, but also in the social
and natural sciences as well. The study of mathematics is often not an
end in itself. The mathematics degree requirements at Wilkes are sufficiently flexible to allow a student to have a large number of free electives which enable him to take all courses required of another major.
By combining the study of mathematics with properly chosen courses
in other fields, a student in either the B.A. or the B.S. program will be
able to obtain excellent preparation for graduate or professional study
leading to careers in actuarial science, economics, business and
management, law, medicine, physical and engineering sciences, and
many interdisciplinary fields. Many professional schools particularly
welcome applicants with a strong undergraduate mathematics
background.
The B.A. degree is intended for those who wish to elect more
humanities and social science courses while the B.S. degree allows for
greater concentration of physical and engineering science electives.
Students may satisfy the certification requirements for secondary or
elementary school teaching in either program.
With the approval of the department, a student may earn credits in
a maximum of five mathematics or computer science courses by passing special challenge examinations in them. Interested students may
obtain further details and application forms from the department
chairperson.

The Nursing Program at Wilkes College leads to a Bachelor of
Science Degree with a major in nursing and reflects a curriculum design that is responsive to the changing needs of society for health care.
The purposes of the Department are to:
1. Prepare the professional nurse practitioner to use the nursing
process in a variety of settings with people of all ages, and to develop
the ability and motivation to continue his/ her learning through instruction, experiences, and guidance in the undergraduate program.
2. Provide a foundation for graduate study in nursing.
Philosophy of Nursing

Professional nursing involves a deliberative process of assessment,
problem-oriented planning, implementation and the evaluation of
nursing outcomes.
The baccalaureate program offers an educational experience to
prepare a professional nurse practitioner who exerts leadership in the
emerging roles of primary, acute and long-term care. Emphasis is on
the maintenance of health and the surveillance of the health practices
of people.
The curriculum pattern enables the student to integrate the arts, the
sciences, and the humanities with nursing and to choose electives in
areas related to personal interests and career goals.
The opportunity for self-learning is provided in the Learning Center; it is equipped with electronic study carrels and audio-visual

materials. The Center is open twelve hours a day and is staffed at all
times with nursing faculty who assist students to progress at their own
pace, to utilize the equipment, supplies, and procedures which will be
encountered in the various clinical settings. A simulated hospital environment introduces the student to the elementary skills in nursing
and the student may return to the Center at any time of the day for
review and study.
Clinical Resources

Written agreements with the cooperating hospitals and agencies in
Northeastern Pennsylvania insure clinical facilities for the student's
practice which is concurrent with the classroom theory.
The cooperating hospitals which are utilized are: Wyoming Valley,
Nesbitt Memorial, Mercy in Wilkes-Barre and Mercy in Scranton,
Veterans Administration, Wilkes-Barre General, and St. Joseph's ernity and Children's Hospital in Scranton, and the National Institutes
of Health, Clinical Center, Bethesda, Maryland.
The Agencies utilized are: Rural Health Corporation of Northeastern Pennsylvania, the Luzerne/Wyoming Mental Health Center,

theastern Pennsylvania, the Allied Services for the Handicapped in
Scranton, the United Rehabilitation Services of Wilkes-Barre, the
RCA Corporation, Dunmore, Pa., the Wilkes-Barre Area School
District and the Northwest Area School District, Shickshinny.

Students are responsible for their own transportation to assigned
clinical areas.
Expenses of the Nursing Program

The student of nursing assumes all the financial obligations listed in
the finance section of this catalogue. Additional expenses incurred in
the nursing program include: uniforms, name pins, yearly physical examinations, immunizations, dental and eye examinations, NLN
achievement and comprehensive tests, liability insurance, transportation to assigned clinical areas and the College Nursing pin upon completion of the program.
Comprehensive Examinations

Course Requirements

Advanced Placement by Examination

The Department of Nursing provides advanced credit examinations
for applicants to enter the program at their level of competency.
Previous education and/ or practical experience which would involve
repetitive learning may justify advancing the applicant to higher level
responsibilities.
Transfer and registered nurse students are required to have a personal interview with a faculty member in the department to plan
his/her program before acceptance into the Wilkes nursing program
can be completed.
Students may be admitted for either full-time or part-time study and
may challenge, in the proper sequence, twenty-one credits of clinical
nursing courses. Examinations are offered three times a year, in
January, May, and August. Upon approval of the petition and acceptance of the $25.00 fee for each course, study materials and directions
will be given to the student by the faculty advisor. Examinations may
not be repeated. Upon successful completion of the examination, the
credits are recorded on the student's official records.
License to Practice

Candidates for a license to practice in the health field are required
to have "good moral character." (Section 6, of Act 151, amended
May 29, 1968 - P.L. 135, No. 73.) The Pennsylvania State Board of
Nurse Examiners may take into consideration, when deciding on the
applications for registration and a license to practice under their
jurisdiction, whether candidates have been included in any legal action
or legal proceedings, either civil or criminal.
Curriculum

The curriculum is an integrated program covering a four-year
academic period, totaling 127 credits.
Satisfactory completion of all required liberal arts and nursing
courses, which include both theory and practice, is prerequisite for
progression to the succeeding year of study. Only with the permission
of the chairperson of the Nursing Department may changes be made.
Nursing courses are introduced in the second year and the nursing
experiences progress from the simple to the complex throughout the
four-year period. Examinations in nursing may be repeated only once.
The student will have the option to select his/ her area of concentration in Nursing for independent study in the senior year, and will be
assigned a faculty advisor who is a clinical expert in the student's
chosen field of interest.

Philosophy
Associate Professor Henson, chairperson; Associate Professors Kay, Williams (sabbatical); Assistant Professor Wuori; Adjunct Professor Barras.

The study of philosophy, whether by those who pursue a major in
philosophy or by those who elect only a few courses of special interest,
contributes to the development of the most basic skills and habits of
mind which are characteristic of educated men and women: clarity of
thought, precision in the analysis of conflicting claims and

the power to render sound judgments based upon an appreciation of
differing perspectives, and the ability to express and defend one's own
views with force and imagination. Students who develop these skills
through the study of philosophy are not only ideally prepared for a
variety of professional careers in law, medicine, teaching, and the
ministry; they are also the beneficiaries of the traditional liberal arts
education essential in today's world for success in numerous careers in
government, business, and industry.
Since students elect to study philosophy for a variety of reasons,
and because many philosophy majors elect to pursue a "double major" in philosophy and a related area of interest, philosophy majors
are invited to design their own majors in consultation with their advisors and with the approval of the department chairperson. The
typical program consists of 30 credit hours in philosophy, including
either Philosophy 101 or Philosophy 201, and Philosophy 152.
Total minimum credits required for the B.A. degree PHIL. 101.

Psychology
Professor Riley, chairperson; Associate Professor Stetten; Assistant Professors
Charnetski, Truckenmiller, Raslear; Adjunct Professor Kanner.

Psychology 101 and 102 is the starting point for the psychology program and must be taken by all psychology majors. These two courses
do not count toward the 24-credit hours of psychology required of
majors.
To allow the greatest possible flexibility in the psychology program,
there is only one additional psychology course required of all
psychology majors once the Psychology 101 and 102 sequence has
been taken, that being Psychology 215, Research Design and Analysis.
Students are then free to tailor a program of study to fit their own
needs and interests. It is strongly recommended, however, that
students take Psychology 211 and 212, Experimental Psychology,
especially if they have any intention of pursuing graduate training.
Students are reminded that professional psychological work presumes
advanced graduate study. Psychology 206, History of Psychology,
would be useful to the students so that they might appreciate the
breadth and nature of psychological thought and effort.
It would be highly desirable for the student to take at least one
course from each of the interest areas listed below to achieve a
reasonably balanced exposure. Because some courses have prerequisites and all courses are not offered each semester, it is advised that
the individual program be started early and be well planned. Research
Design and Analysis would then be taken in the sophomore year along
with History of Psychology and/ or Contemporary Psychological
Theories. Experimental Psychology and interest area courses would
then be reserved for the junior year, saving Seminars·and Independent
Research for the final semesters.

Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps Program
The Air Force ROTC program is divided into two phases: the
General Military Course (GMC), the first two college years, and the
Professional Officer Course (POC), the last two years.
A student may elect to enroll in the Four-Year AFROTC Program
or the Two-Year AFROTC Program. Students electing the Four-Year
Program will take the General Military Course during their freshman
and sophomore years and the Professional Officer Course during their
junior and senior years. They will attend four weeks of field training
during the summer between the sophomore and junior years. As
members of the program they are eligible to compete for AFROTC
Scholarships. For acceptance into the POC, the Four-Year Program
student must pass a physical examination and an Officer Qualifying
Test, and possess an acceptable academic rating. To qualify for enrol~ment in the Two-Year Program, students must have two academic
years remaining at either the graduate or undergraduate level or a
combination of the two. They must also meet certain physical standards, pass an Officer Qualifying Test, and possess an ac~eptable
academic rating. Further, they must successfully complete a six-week
Field Training Course before they can be accepted into the Professional Officer Course. Transfer students may elect the Professional
Officer Course by satisfying the above requirements.
Uniforms and all equipment and textbooks required for AFROTC
work are supplied by the College and the United States Air Force.
Students in the Professional Officer Course receive $100 per month in
subsistence allowance.
Students who successfully complete the Professional Officer Course
are commissioned as second lieutenants in the United States Air Force
Reserve. Consistent with AF needs, they serve on active duty in the
Air Force in a specialty as close as possible to their academic training.
The AFROTC program is recognized as academic but of a highly
specialized nature. It is not a major field of study; the course work is
taken as a concentration in conjunction with the student's chosen
academic major. Academic credit is given for all ROTC subjects taken
and passed, and the grades will affect the student's academic rating.
Unless otherwise specified in the course requirements section of the
College Bulletin, students may use POC or GMC credit hours to
satisfy elective requirements for graduation.

Leadership Laboratory

Leadership Laboratory is a required non-credit activity for all
regularly enrolled cadets, and it is conducted one hour each week
under the direction of the detachment officer staff. Experts in the

Field Training

Each cadet must attend field training during the summer before entry into the Professional Officer Course. Transportation from the
legal residence of the cadet to the field training base and return, food,
lodging, and medical and dental care are provided by the Air Force. In
addition, the cadet receives appoximately $300 for the four-week field
training and $450 for the six-week field training. In special cases, fouryear program cadets and veterans may be granted approval to attend
field training one year later than normal.
Field Trips

Periodically, the Department of Aerospace Studies conducts field
trips to various Air Force installations. These trips include tours of the
base and familiarization flights.

Special Degree Programs
FIVE-YEAR B.S.-M.S. DEGREE-BIOLOGY MAJOR
During the first six semesters in the combined five-year program
leading to bachelor and masters degrees there would be no change in
the current bachelor of science requirements.
At the end of the sixth semester (junior year) individuals may elect
the 5-year program. The summer between the junior and senior year
would be devoted to the initiation of thesis research with a maximum
of 3 thesis credits given, or the student may take undergraduate
courses required for the B.S. degree (i.e., graduation requirements).
The program is constructed so that if a student changes his mind during the fourth year, he may still graduate with the B.S. degree at the
end of four years.

EIGHTH SEMESTER

PRE-PROFESSIONAL DEGREE PROGRAM
Four years of undergraduate study ordinarily are required to
qualify for the Bachelor's degree. Wilkes College makes an exception
to this requirement for medical and dental students.
These students may, with the approval of the Academic Standing
Committee, satisfy the requirements for the Bachelor's degree by
completing three years of undergraduate study at Wilkes and by requesting credit toward the degree for their first two years of work in
professional school.
Such students must petition the Academic Standing Committee for
permission to graduate, submit official transcripts from the professional school, and pay the usual graduation fees. In all cases the final
approval for the granting of the degree rests with the Academic Standing Committee of Wilkes College.
In lieu of the senior academic year on campus, one calendar year of study is required at an accredited school of
medical technology.

WILKES-HAHNEMANN COOPERATIVE
MEDICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM
IN FAMILY MEDICINE
In an effort to increase the number of family physicians in northeastern Pennsylvania, Wilkes College and Hahnemann Medical College and Hospital initiated an innovative six-year program in family
medicine in September of 1972. Successful completion of the program
will enable a student to earn both the Baccalaureate Degree and the
Doctor of Medicine Degree concurrently, six years after entering the
freshman year at Wilkes College.
In this program a class of approximately 100 students will spend the
first two years at Wilkes in a preprofessional health sciences curriculum which will meet the minimum natural science, social science,
and communicative skills f ~r potential entry into the medical component of the program. The curriculum is designed with a high degree of
flexibility so that a highly motivated student may select a major from
a variety of health-related disciplines such as biology, chemistry,
physics, medical technology, psychology and sociology-anthropology,
as well as such non-related areas as English, history, mathematics,
political science and philosophy.
After completion of the two-year Wilkes sequence, the Joint Selection Committee will supervise the selection of approximately twentyfive (25) qualified candidates for entrance into the medical components at Hahnemann. Students who are not selected or do not elect
to enter Hahnemann may still pursue a variety of degree options offered by Wilkes.
The next two and one-half years at Hahnemann Medical College
will be spent studying the basic and clinical sciences and advanced
basic clinical sciences. The final year and a half will be spent in
Wilkes-Barre at Wilkes College and the Wilkes-Barre area hospitals
(Mercy Hospital, Wilkes-Barre; Nesbitt Memorial Hospital, Kingston; Veterans Administration Hospital, Wilkes-Barre; Wilkes-Barre
General Hospital; Wyoming Valley Hospital, Wilkes-Barre), where
students will enter the family medicine track of study and complete the
Baccalaureate Degree requirements.
Students interested in this accelerated program can make application by obtaining a Wilkes College admission form from the Dean of
Admissions.
Admission to Wilkes College does not imply automatic admission
into the Hahnemann Medical Components.

and four years at Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine.
All students in the program shall satisfy the general core requirements except for Psy. 101-102 and the mathematics, chemistry,
physics, and biology courses which are required and not optional.
The remaining credits in the first three years may be used for depth
education in an academic discipline or for other electives.
A student completing three years at Wilkes College in the program
and four years at Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine will be
awarded a Bachelor of Science degree by Wilkes College. The components of that degree shall be:
1. Completion of 97-107 credits at Wilkes College.

he or she is not chosen to go to Pennsylvania College of Podiatric
Medicine after three years, then the student may complete his last year
at Wilkes College and receive a Baccalaureate degree as any other student does who completes an academic program satisfactorily. A Joint
Selection Committee of Wilkes College faculty and the Pennsylvania
