The recommendation was accepted by the President's Cabinet Houseknecht said that the committee had two votes on placing condoms in vending machines. On the first vote, eight were in favor of placing them in the machines and three were against the idea. After someone suggested placing separate condom dispensors in dorm areas of least traffic, nine voted in favor of the idea, one voted against it, and there was one abstension. He said 19 machines were being added for this purpose. Gene Manganello, who oversees the operation of the vending machines, said he was in the process of researching the machines. Breiseth said that in times of sexually transmitted diseases those engaging in sexual activity must be extremely cautious due to the lifethreatening risks. He said that in response to the recommendation made by the Surgeon General, he is in favor of condom distribution. Although condoms are only 70% effective, he said that this is higher than any other preventative method except sexual abstinence (which students should also be considering as an alternative). Breiseth said, "While tests are not conclusive ... casual and irresponsible activity is threatening to yourself and others. We must talk honestly about it.

A sign extolling the virtues of the bell tower was found hanging from the structure last Tuesday. Changes by Michelle Broton Two weeks ago, a robbery occurred on the third floor of Miner Hall.

In other business, SG Miner ID security has been notified that in situations concerning the health or well-being of a student, college security is permitted to enter a dorm without the presence of a resident assist.ant. In addition, student desk guards in Miner Hall were given a review of college policies concerning guard responsibilities and informed that persons who neglect that duty will be dismissed. The same holds true for desk guards at Evans and Pickering Halls. The RA's in Miner have said that there has been a sudden and noticeable change in the attitude of residents within the hall. The main hall doors on the 3rd and 5th floor are now kept locked at all times. These are the female floors, and one RA said that the girls are afraid and she understands why. The Miner Hall incedent will, hopefully, serve as a good reminder that dorms are only as safe as the residents make them. In this is-iue. .

This program is designed to give the student body a chance to meet and talk with the President in an informal atmosphere. If there are any rare opportunities that we, as students, should take advantage of during our college career, this is one of them. When one stops to consider the rash of changes that have been occurring around campus with little or no forewarning given to the student body by the administration, this chance to talk with the President may very well enable students to become educated about issues before they become issues. Many times, students are kept in the dark about many vital issues-whether intentionally 01: _not. Perhaps most notable are the controversies currently surrounding university status and the core curriculum. The average student at Wilkes rarely gets to have his or her opinion considered until it is too late to be helpful. And although there are student representatives on several academic committees, the same few students seem always to be involved, leaving most students without a voice in campus affairs. I commend the President for giving the students the chance to talk to him, to express their views, and to give him their input. Communication lines must be kept open. However, the opportunity will be lost if students do not show up. Last year, attendance was lower than it should have been. This year, students should make the effort to attend--and to attend informed. The better prepared the students are to express their views, the more inclined the President will be to take those views seriously. Granted, the President does not have to listen to these suggestions, or even to use them. But when decisions are made on campus, at least the President will realize that the students are interested and that if the College makes a decision contrary to student opinion, it may be taking a chance on adverse student reaction. It seems that some administrators do not believe that the students want to be involved in decision-making. I maintain that this is not the case. The recent bell tower issue illustrates this. It seems to have been a long time since anything sparked as much concern among students as this issue did. Had the students been consulted before construction began, perhaps these concerns could have been raised before it was too late for students to do anything but complain. The bell tower is a current problem, but some issues under consideration, although not affecting current students, will have an impact on future Wilkes sLUdents. We should care not only about what goes on while we're here but also about the far-reaching implications of any current decision. Sure, it may not matter what the core curriculum is now; it will not change for us. But what about academic quality for future students? We have to be concerned beyond the here and now. Sure, a ten-minute meeting with the President is not going to change the College overnight--it may not even change it at all-- but we owe it to ourselves and to the quality of Wilkes College at least to try. signed my name. Withholding it just detracts ' from the credibility. I still, however, stand firm on my opinions. ·Crop Walk Dear Editor: On Sunday, October 11, I was privileged to help at the Crop Walk. Not being able to be involved in the actual walk, I was helpful in signing people in before the walk started, and also at the end of the walk valiaating the walkers' cards.

Evers I never thought I'd say this, but it looks as if the construction of the belltower might be worth the money spent on that magnificent edifice. What, you say, have I lost my mind? A six-foot wide, 60-foot high structure that, in my mind at least, is vaguely reminiscent of a giant, musical popsicle stick, a worthwhile investment? Sure. See, I think I've finally figured out the true reason behind its conception. Don't let them fool you. It's not a memorial to honor a distinguished alumnus. It's not part of the campus beautification drive. And it's not even meant as a distraction to draw our attention away from the fact that the old gym's still standing--intact. It's the College's latest weapon in the fight to get students more involved with their College. A weapon against apathy (if I dare say the word).

Walk benefits hungry and by Kim Klimek , On Sunday afternoon, over 300 people gathered in Kirby Park to participate in the CROP (Cristian Rural Oversees Program) Walk. It was a damp 40 degrees and a slight rain penetrated the clothing of the participants. Despite the unfavorable weather conditions, most people participating in the 10 kilometer (or 6.2 miles) Crop Walk were in cheerful spirits. Many talked and sang songs along the way. President Christopher Breiseth welcomes all members of the student body to attend his informal, informative "Meet the Prez" sessions. Th~ first meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, October 20, at 4 pm m Stark Lounge. These meetings were started last year to allow students to share their views and opinions with the administration. All students are encouraged to attend to discuss topics of interest or controversy affecting the Wilkes community. This is probably the best opportunity to casually address campus concerns and receive responses and/or alternative views from the President. A total of 27 students from Wilkes College made up the largest single contingent of Crop walkers, according to Tony Vento, campus minister. Wilkes College President Christopher Breiseth said he was present at the beginning of the event and pleased with the number of students who participated. He feels many students liked the CROP Walk because they did not have to identify with a particular Beacon opinion poll-condoms in · machines? by Kim Klimek The Beacon conducted a recent informal (random) opinion poll on installing vending machines for condoms on campus. The questions asked were What do you think about installing new vending machines for condoms? Would you be for it or against it? and Why? Lisa Kalinoski, sophomore International Studies major, said she was in favor of the idea. She said, "There should be an option for someone who wants to use it." Susan Harris, freshman, said, "Its a good idea - to prevent pregnancies." Douglas DeGroote, Junior Electrical Engineering major, said he had no opinion but "It seems like there could be qther places for them." Paula Cahill, freshman SpeechPathology major, approved of the decision. She said,"Its a good idea to have it in the school." Mark Palanchi, sophomore Political Science .major, was for it. He said, "With all the diseases going around - like AIDS, it is a good idea and it is better for preventing pregnancy. Maybe they'll just run down and get them (condoms) if they need them." Phil Montuori, freshman computer science major said, "It doesn't matter to me either way." Linda Hoyson, sophomore Psychology. major said, "In the dorms - yes - (and) somewhere inconspicuous so they wouldn't have to worry. Ron Miller, sophomore Computer Information Sciences major, said he was in favor of the installation "to save the embarassment lots of guys have. In the store, getting embarrassed is more of a possibility. If they use them more, maybe things like AIDS and the pregnancy rate will go down. " Robby Peterson, bookstore attendant, said "I don't really think .it makes any difference. I think they can get them anywhere. I believe the reason they put them on campus i:; to prevent the spread of AIDS rather than birth control." Joe Kanner, Director of Testing Services, said "Neither. Its a question of where you need them. If a student can't walk to the bookstore, he shouldn't be able to get the protection on campus. Franck Darte, Education professor said, "Its fine. They sell them everyplace else. They're helpful - for the health." Jamal Ghoreishi, Assistant Engineering professor, said he was against it He said, "I think morally its wrong. We are not in the business of selling condoms here, but teaching them. There are much more important things to pay attention to." · "Gayle Nieczykowsky of the Nursing department said she's in favor of putting the machines in. She said, "With all of the talk of disease today, I think they (students) should have access. Some peole cannot talk to their parents about it" Dorothy Schlingman from the History and Political Science and the Speech, Communications and Theater Arts departments, said she was in favor of putting them in for protection purposes . Theresa Rudolph of· the Music department said she was against it. "I don't think it should be on campus in vending machines. I'm against extramarital sex. If you put in that stuff, it makes it easier for the students. I don't think its that much of a protection (condoms) against AIDS. I did see somewhere that they are not all that effective. Christopher Hall, Language and Literature professor, said he was in favor of installing the special machines. He said, "I think it could help prevent the spread of AIDS. Its the sensible thing to do to promote safe sex." , world homele college group. He said he realizes that it is not easy for most college students to think about those less fortunate when they are concentrating on expanding their individual freedoms. According to Breiseth, the experince of working with others instead of working alone can also be fun and rewarding. He said, "If you have 50 people who really care about what they are doing or even 10 who are determined, that's all it would take to mobilize this campus." Gladys deLeon, student, said she thought the CROP Walk was very successful. She said, "I thought it was worth it. It was 6.2 miles and it didn't seem that, even if it was raining. A lot showed up from the community--lots of highschools, churches, colleges. It was really good that despite the bad weather, a lot of people showed up anyway. Joe Iannuzzi, student, said the walk brought him a greater awareness of world hunger. He said cause because it was could do to help ~ Iannuzzi said "if, as the says, we're all equal, must be wrong.

They provide a break discarded catalogs into the trash can between reading 'The Prince" and before the garbage men drove up my street. The garbage men used to eagerly grab any and all trash set along the curb; that was before the landfill cns1s. Now, they grudgingly take ,only four bags, charging twenty dollars per week-the quarterly price one year ago. Unable to risk hostile looks and words.I decided to put the trash bag filled with discarded .catalogs aside until next week, especially as it was number five. Carrying the heavy trash bag, I recalled reading in U.S. News and World Report, that "each household in the U.S. chums out a ton of trash a year." Catalogs continue to add to the average household trash output. What is to be done to avert a garbage crisis that threatens to overwhelm citizens and communities around the country? In August, I sent postcards to thirty catalog companies asking them to remove my name from their mailing lists. Two months later my mailbox continues to be overloaded with catalogs. It is time catalog companies do their part in the trash crisis. Stop sending all those catalogs!

The "Composer's String Quartet" intermixing of the three voices was performing Powell's string quartet. hypnotic, eerie and very beautiful. Powell complimented them by saying that "every serious twentieth century composer dreams of having the "Composer's String Quartet" perform his works." Before the actual performance of the quartet, Powell had each member play a small portion of the opening. the piece was made up of four individual parts, that were separate entities in themselves, but when they were put together, they meshed into a complete work of genius. It started as a mass of intricate rhythms and tapered to unison lines with a short restatement of the opening into the ending of one solitary note on the first violin. It was an excellent way to spend an afternoon and a real treat fot those who attended. '' R.E.M.arkable '' Powell at Sordoni by Spike and Randy This week's album review is a long awaited release by R.E.M.: their new album "Document" on I.R.S. records. R.E.M.'s last album "Life's Rich Pagent" brought the group a lot of well deserved airplay even on mainstream rock stations. I (Spike) was anxious to see if the group would keep a succes&[ul commercial sound or return to an earliersound. I(Randy)encouraged Spike to listen to the album, and I assured Spike that the album was not commercial but a true R.E.M. sound. The American release, "The One I Love" has a pop sounding twist to it, but don't fret, that single doesn't represent the whole album. In fact, in the U.K., where the sound R.E.M. speaks for itself, a different single, "It's The End of the World As We Know It (But I As part of the "Celebration of Music and Art III," the Sordoni Art Gallery of Wilkes College opened an exhibit entitled, "Mel Powell: Watercolors" at 1 p.m., Sunday, October 11. The third in a series of exhibits that explores the theme of musicians as visual artists, "Watercolors" is the first public exhibit of the atrwork of Powell, the noted jazz and classical musician who appeared in concert at the College's Darte Center on Saturday, October 10. The exhibit will remain in the Gallery through Sunday, November 8, and is open to the public, free of charge. Powell began his rise to fame in the jazz world at the age of eighteen, as a member of the Benny Goodman Orchestra.

Also, look for "Strange" which is a song by the group "Wire" that was covered frequently on the "Life's Rich Pagent" tour. I (Spike), at first, was apprehensive about the album, but only one listen to it completely swayed my outlook and I must rate this album first rate. I (Randy) simply see "Document" as a truly R.E.M.arkable album! R.E.M. is currently on tour with 10,000 Maniacs. Listen for them on the "Spike and Randy Show" this week for an exclusive, interview! It's all happening on . New Music 91 this Sunday. "Scruffy the Cat" by Don &Ed "Tiny Days" is the title of Scruffy the Cat's first full-length album, but I foresee big days for this New Jersey based band. Their first album, entitled "High Octane Revival," was a six song E.P. It featured great songs such as "Tiger, Tiger," "40 Days & 40 Nights," and my personal favorite, "Happiness T o Go." I enjoyed the first album very much and the second album is just as good if not better. Scruffy the Cat has an up-beat rock sound which is found in songs such as, "My Baby, She's All Right," "Upside Down," and "Never Never." Then they slow down the tempo with songs such as, "Hello Angel," and "Time Never Forgets.'' Not only does Scruffy the Cat use the basic guitar, bass, and drums, but it adds some things like the banjo, harmonica, and accordian which gives it a unique, bar band sound. I expect a lot more great albums from this up and coming New Jersey band.

After further investigation of the issue I found out what the reason was--they had not decided whether or not to let the six candidates run for representative. The reason for some of these candidates not being able to run is that they broke a rule that states candidates are not supposed to mimeograph. What is the definition of mimeograpn? I am sure many of you out there now are scratching your heads and saying, "mimeograph?" just as I did. To ease my mind I looked and I'm sure to ease many others, I looked it up in the dictionary, and this is what I found: a printing device in which a waxed paper _ stencil cut by a typewriter or stylus, rotates on a drum, ink from which penetrates ... .etc. I do not wish to bore you with details (as I probably already have). Now this is what some of- the candidates did to get themselves disqualified. They used computer printouts which were considered to be mimeogrpahs. I do not see any correlation brtween these words at all. It is a stupid rule that says that the candidates are not able to .use the computer. The reason for this is that the computer room is open for everybody's use and even if you did not know how to use the computer, there is always someone there to show you how to use it. Well, now that I have gotten that off of the top of my head, I will thank you for reading my views.

Wilkes downs U psal It wasn't pretty, but it was a win. After jumping out to a 14-0 lead, the Colonels made an apparent blow-out into a close. The Colonels on their first possession wasted no time in hitting paydirt, as Carl DeLuca hit Tony DiGrazia on a 34-yard scoring strike. Shawn Meagley's PAT was good and the Colonels jumped out to a 7-0 lead. The Colonel defense stuffed Upsala for the second time and the Colonels were back in business. A roughing the kicker penalty gave the Colonels great field position at midfield. Once again DeLuca hooked up with DiGrazia for his second touchdown of the game. Meagley's kick was good and the Colonels had a quick 14-0 lead. At this point i~ the game Wilkes was on the verge of blowing out the Vikings. But turnovers by the Wilkes offense gave the Vikings new life, and Upsala scored its first points of the game on a Tony Carmilio 29-yard run. The PAT was good and Upsala cut the Colonel lead to 14-7. There was no further scoring and the Colonels went into the lockerroom wondering what could have been. With the start of the second half the Colonel offense continued to gain yardage. The Colonel offense rolled up 460 yards on the day. But mistakes and turnovers halted the Colonels from putting any points on the board. After a scoreless third quarter Upsala struck again as Carmino scored his second touchdown of the game, this time on a 66-yard touchdown run. The all important extra point was no good- and the Colonels held a slim 14-13 lead.

Regional ranking eludes Colonels by Craig Lari~er When the Wilkes' soccer team traveled to Bethlehem, PA on Saturday, they knew that if they could upset Moravian College, their chances for a top ten regional ranking would be definite. The Colonels were ranked eleventh entering into Saturday's game against the Greyhounds. Going into the game Moravian was ranked seventh in the region. Unfortunately, the top ten regional ranking eluded the Colonels this week as Wilkes fell to Moravian 0-4. "I knew that it was going to be a tough game against a tough team. The ranking was in the back of my mind throughout the game," explained Andy Renner. Sean Lockhead added, "I was disappointed with thr overall outcome of the game. We knew that we would have to pilly well . in order to upset Moravian." The Colonels may very well earn a top ten regional ranking, but they will 11ave to wait until their next game to try again.

Dr. Joseph H. Salsburg served as Master of Ceremonies for the event. Salsburg informed the crowd that this was the first new structure on campus since 1982. Dr. Charles N. Bums and he were classmates in the first graduating class (1935) of Bucknell Junior College, which later became Wilkes. He told a playful anecdote about "helping" Bums · through chemistry by "checking his answers" during tests. Trustee Ronald W. Simms ('60) said in his greeting that he feels the "school is definitely on a move upward." He is proud of the committment made by the Board of Trustees, the faculty, and the alumni toward the tower and the new gym. John J. Chwalek next offered his "perspective" of the event. In 1961, when his wife was a student here, she suggested to him the idea of a clock tower on campus to help students find the time. When they traveled to South Carolina one year, every college campus they visited had a central tower structure. Over the years, he drew several sketches of potential structures, but the idea was dormant until the Homecoming celebration a few years ago. There, Chwalek mentioned the idea to a group of alumni, eliciting a very pos1uve response. At the time, someone suggested it be named after Bums. Shortly thereafter, President Breiseth and Dr. Bums had lunch together, after which the project was immediately approved. James Sabatini, President of the Class of 1970, said, "Today is a very proud day for Wilkes College." He explained the role of his class in the belltower campaign. A special part- nership began years ago with the class of 1970 "inaugurating a class reunion gift to repay the college" for all it had done for them. Last year, the class agreed to pledge their funds, in excess of $50,000, to the belltower campaign. He stated that Wilkes' committment to continued growth in curriculum and facilities was a great incentive for class contributors to remain faithful to their promise. "A feeling of friendship permeates the campus," he said. President Christopher N. Breiseth then stepped to the podium for the official dedication of the belltower. He began by noting that this project "came from vision, a little bit of courage, and from the sense that institutions, like families, need to rally around. . . and establish aspirations." According to Breiseth, the tower is going to include a plaza with benches, which, he hopes, will foster a center of debate and serve as Continued on p.5 wprogram benefits community a press tly to announce the of a Drug and Education Center on College received a of $63,700 from SlaleS Department of lhis purpose. will serve as an llaining resource for 240 teachers from County school In order to motivate · ipate, there will be Ir lhe progam.

He cited a which found that the in the Wilkes-Barre area is that of drug and alcohol abuse. The creation of this center will have two great advantages. First, people who participate in the training will receive graduate credits. Second, the project is a direct response to the Drug and Alcohol Advisory Council which has been pushing for such a positive undertaking for a long while. This involvement is just one part of the College's ongoing role in serving the local and regional community. Fahmy explained the basics of the initial program. Thirty educators will be chosen to participate in each course by a committee - within the Center. Courses will last for eight weeks, with 2 three-hour classes per week, for a total of 45 hours of instruction. Two sessions will be offered each spring, summer, and fall. At this rate, all of the 240 teachers being considered will have gone through the program in about 2 1/2 years. . Dr. Michael Garr, assistant professor of sociology and anthropology, was named Project Director. He views the program as necessary and said that "if we're to confront . . the drug problem, teachers need to be on the front line edge. There is a growing need to sensitire teachers to drug problems students may face. The first step is education." Serving as consultant to the project will be Carmen Ambrosino, executive director of Wyoming Valley Alcohol and Drug Sen-ices, Inc. He said that the program will allow educators to learn "early warning signs of abuse" and teach them the importance of referring the students to proper sources of treatment. He called the project "creative response to an area long identified but not dealt with." Ambrosino stated that a pilot project launched previous to the creation of the present Center "had outstanding results and moved the main project a step further." Though the program proper will be instituted through the College's Graduate Division, other features of the program will have far-reaching effects on both the College and community. These proposals involve undergraduate courses for nursing, sociology, and psychology majors as well as courses in the Continuing Educ- a ation Department The Center will also sponsor seminars and workshops in an attempt to increase awareness in members of the community. A regional training center is also planned. This project would work with local law enforcement officers, juvenile authorities, and certified addictions counselors to provide them with a strong background in dealing with youth alcohoVdrug abuse. Additionally, there is the research contstituent of the project. The Wilkes Computer Center, as well as the Farley Library, will serve as valuable sources of locating and processing data and statistical information. As the project evolves, additional funding will be sought from private foundations. Wilkes is attempting to mobilize adults to help the young overcome this threatening problem. President Christopher Breiseth said, "It is a challenge that faces all of us if we care about our future." �~:rwo. Editorial Alcohol awareness flourishing Letters to the Editor A special thanks Dear Editor: Dear Editor: On Thursday, October 22, 1987, the Alcohol Disciplinary Board and several student organizations sponsored "A Drink with the Deans and Faculty" as part of Alcohol Awareness Day at Wilkes College. As Coordinators of this project, I'd like to publicly thank the students who were instrumental . . . . m making this event a success: Special thanks to Kris Cornall, Liz Fitzhugh, Bill Heaster, Henry Novroski, Barb Riley,_Joe Snell, Heidi Weiser, various members of Bacchus, ROTC, and most especially to Karen Murphy and Sharon Froude who were responsible for the planning that led up to Alcohol Awareness Day. Responsible decision making regarding alcohol consumption is an important, controversial issue on campuses across the country. It is gratifying to know a vital, concerned group of students, interested in focusing on this critical aspect of student life exists at Wilkes College. Recently, Wilkes held a press conference to announce the establishment of a Drug and Alcohol Abuse Education Center. This center, available due to a grant from the US Department of Education, is designed to educate secondary school teachers about the early warning signs of drug and alcohol abuse and how to refer students to the proper agencies. An admirable goal, but some may ask, "Just how is this program going to help Wilkes College?" Ostensibly, the program may not seem to have any direct benefit on the College itself. We must, however, look beyond the surface of the program. The more educators on the college and university level who help secondary schools fight the problem of drug abuse, the more responsible and productive students we can expect to enter college and society. The program may seem idealistic. How can merely educating teachers help the community? We are responsible as a part of this community to help implement improvements in any way that we can. Wilkes is not a separate entity; we exist because of the community. The commmunity provides Wilkes with support. It is only fitting that Wilkes gives something back. Helping the community is vital, but once students make it to campus, the threat of alcohol and drug abuse does not just go away. In fact, for many, college is the place where intensive abuse of alcohol begins. Previously, the only body that addressed the alcohol problem on our campus was the Alcohol Disciplinary Board that serves to enforce the College's official alcohol policies. Now, however, it seems that a core group of concerned students have taken the initiative and reacted to the "silent" alcohol problem. Last Thursday a "Drink with the Deans and Faculty" was held, sponsored by a newly formed group, BACCHUS (Boost Alcohol Consciousness Copceming University Students). The event was designed to help students and the campus MarkSowcik commmunity become aware of their alcohol consumption. In an Campus Counseling atmosphere almost always associated with excessive drinking and partying, the organization has the potential to be of great help to the campus community. What is perhaps most important about the studentbased group is the source of its motivation. It is not a group designed to warn students about the evils of alcohol, or even to suggest that students should not drink. Rather, it is a group that only wants students to be aware of their drinking habits, stressing the act of responsible drinking instead of the "drink 'til you puke" ideal favored on many college campuses. A school can set alcohol policies and occasionally enforce them , by M. E. Evers but if the students are not aware of their actions and continue to abuse alcohol, then the policies are ineffective anyway. The students, in fact, To all of you who've been are the driving force behind the alcohol policies, behind the parties, and complaining (oops, I meant to say, behind a reasonable social atmosphere. Awareness and responsibility go "voicing the opinion") lately that hand-in-hand in the case of alcohol consumption, and if BACCHUS The Beacon's writers in general--and succeeds in its goal to make students more aware of their alcohol this columnist in j>articular--have consumption, the group can only improve the atmosphere, both social nothing nice to say about Wilkes . and academic, of the College.

The Alumni has donated all the money; Wilkes College has donated none. It was donated to honor a great Alumnus, Dr. Burns. Sure, they might have decided to donate this money for a better purpose. But the point is that it's their money and if they feel a belltower is an appropriate gift of their loyalty to their college, then so be it This letter is not an attempt to put down student interests or social consciousness. But how can writers like M.E. Evers report on the belltower without having all the facts. M.E. Evers' san:astic remark about a "worthwhile investment" is totally uncalled for, as shown above. If M.E.

And in ten years, people--perhaps even prospective employers--won't remember what Wilkes was like in 1987; they'll associate the Wilkes of '87 with the Wilkes of '97. The state of the College in ten years, then, may be something of concern to us all.

It seems as if students are becoming a little more interested in campus events; two instances of "non-apathy" caught my attention this weekend. Homecoming, of course, was the first. Homecoming dis:plays this year were quite creative; attendance at events was high. There is, apparently, still "school spirit" at Wilkes. The second example was last weekend's theatre production. Chamber Music wasn't a Wilkes/ King's production; it was a studentdirected production, directed by senior Michelle Palmieri. Attendance at the play was good the night I attended; from what I understand, Chamber Music boasted the best attendance any student-directed play at Wilkes has ever had. Not bad for Homecoming Weekend, is it? Maybe, then, it's really going to happen. Wilkes students may finally become more aware and more interested in campus life. Maybe we'll never have to read about apathy in The Beacon ever again--a prospect I'm sure delights many of you. See?

Three years ago, the College received a $300,000 grant for faculty and curricular development. This is the third year of the grant, and Dr. Robert Heaman, associate dean of academic affairs, said that the College plans to re-apply for the next $200,000 over a five-year period. He said that during this fiveyear span, the College will do a thorough analysis of curriculum based on students' needs. Upon recommendations from the task force committee and the Long-Range Planning Committee, the College decided to examine "tjlose principles and ideals that guide the College - in ,, the development of its various curricula and its work with the community," according to the Spring 1985 Mission Statement. That statement read further, "In short, the committee proposed a review of the mission of Wilkes College and a redefinition of philosophies to serve to give it identity and continue to be the basis for orienting its thinking and work." Heaman explained the core curriculum is being reevaluated "to provide for a better education." He said, "It [the core curriculum] may atrophy. [We must] examine what we have. If we agree that what we already have is O.K. after reviewing, we will stay with it" A benefit of a new curriculum would be to provide a liberal arts education which would enable students to keep pace with the modem world. Heaman said, "As we enter a rapidly changing, complex society, students will need to be both technologically and culturally literate and as citizens will be faced with difficult moral and ethical judgements. "We hope to prepare our students to be lifelong learners--to put students in the center of learning experiences, developing skills needed," Heaman added. The committee had been meeting to decide what students should learn before they graduate. Having reviewed goals and approved them, the committee is now working on a model curriculum. One new feature may be "Common Experiences" courses. These would be courses which might introduce current ethical issues, cultural programs and aesthetic life into classes. An example of this would involve students going to see a play which was taught in class. Freshmen seminars may also be part of the new core.

Hollenback Hall. Students who are unable to attend may pick up his rule, Iran adopted a policy of violence, mostly applications outside Sowcik's office international against innocent civilians. Yet anytime after November 5th. everyone still bought his oil and sold him guns. Meanwhile, next door in Iraq, another petty dictator went the other way. He sold his oil to the west and bought large quantities of weapons from the Soviets. One day Iraq launched all of its Soviet weapons against Iran's American weapons. Believing that the U.S. would not resupply Iran, Iraq became overconfident and lost every battle of this long war, while Iran took more and more Iraqi"land for itself. Eventually Iran started running out of American weapons, while Iraq kept getting more Soviet weapons. To keep from losing, Iran started buying weapons from everyone, France and China getting the majority of weapon contracts. To prevent a Soviet- backed nation from gaining control of Iran, and to, supposedly, ease Middle East tension by influencing Iran back to our way of thinking, not to mention the billions of dollars in exorts from the U.S., we sold Iran replacement parts for its American weapons. Meanwhile, Iraq was about to lose the only port it had for shipping oil to the rest of the world. Another country, Kuwait, opened a pipeline through its territory so Iraq wouldn't go broke. I think that means they (Kuwait and Iraq) became allies. To destroy the other's war effort, Iraq started bombing Iranian oil depots and tankers. This put us in the middle; afterall we were Iran's ally, but we were Kuwait's ally, too. Or is it we were Iraq's ally and !fun's enemy. No, that's not right. We sold Iran guns, so we were Iran's ally, but we just bombed them. Anyway, the U.S. .~ involved somehow. Again, my first question: "Whose interest?" Let's look at this country by country. Iran is anti-United States, but we sell them guns. Iraq is Soviet- supported, yet it's our fleet that protects their oil exports. Kuwait is neutral, yP.t they ship Iraqi oil on U.S. tankers that are being bombed by Iran. I guess our involvement isn't political. So let's look at it economically. We sell guns to Iran so that those same guns can be fired on U.S. ships. No gain there. Our tankers haul Iraqi oil (which isn't even for the American market) so they can sell it for money to buy Soviet weapons. Kuwait is where we pick up the oil, and the tankers are owned by Kuwait, even if they do fly the American flag. Wait. That's the answer! Don't the Kuwaiti oil sheiks own most of the U.S. territory not owned by the Americans? And the oil is shipped to Japan. Who owns the rest of the U.S. territory not owned by Americans? �October '19. 1987 HomecomingWeeke 1987 King and Queen chosen from court and anounced by Kim Klirnelc Princes making up the court were Michael Zobel, third runner- Banners unfurled on the fence surrounding the football field showed the crowd's enthusiasm for Homecoming 1987.

You learned about him and his organization and what it's all about. This week we would like you to get to know Scott Barth, Commuter Council president. Scott is a junior marketing major from Kingston. At present, besides his studies and duties president, Scott is assisting in his father's successful packaging brockerage business. He ·hopes to continue with this and someday go out on his own. To understand what Scott's job is, you first must know what Commuter Council (C.C.) is and what it is they do. According to Scott, "C.C. is an organization that allows and encourages commuter students to take part in various school activities. We are also in charge of allocating parking permits." Scott's job is to see that this is all done successfully, and to attend various important student/administration meetings to "see that commuters are fairly represented and to provide a means that all commuters have their opinions properly voiced." With Scott as president, and the rest of his board, (Bruce Hom, vice president; Barb Carpenter, recording secretary; Jennifer Douglas, corresponding secretary; Jim Gizelbach, treasurer; Matt Beekman, parliamentarian) C.C.'s future looks bright. For this semester they have planned a halloween gym dance for this Saturday featuring the band Gandalf, a New York City bus trip on November 25, and a Christmas semi-formal dance scheduled for December 4. Activities aren't all of C.C.'s future. They also have plans to improve commuter life. Scott says that he plans to propose to the Student Government an alternate parking plan. The plan is to utilize the parking lot at the Ralston field complex and have a shuttle bus system to the school. (At press time the proposal had already been made but there was no judgement.) as R . e, Ne .E A cynically humorous play, "Chamber Music" was presented on Friday and Saturday night, October21 the Wilkes College Theatre. Michelle Palmieri directed the production which subtly commended on the to women in a "man's world." Both nights went off without any problems and the show was met reviews. Shown above is a scene from "Chamber Music." Involved in this scene are Andrea Kochera with the records;" Kyra Zaharchuk as "Woman in queenly Spanish garb;" Michele Broton as "W notebook;" Jessica Holm as "Woman in armor;" and Chris Brunnock as "Woman in safari outfit" Beacon at the movies The modern mast of horror is back by John Gordon -.....__ -_w..,. i-•'"""""' Scott has other interests out of school. During the summer he travels every weekend to various racetracks in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, and New Jersey where he competes in amateur motocross. He is in his second year racing 125 cc Suzukis and is sponsored by Pro Motion cycles. This summer his diligence paid off. At the state championships he earned honors as the PA state champ for 125 cc class. Aside from being a champion racer, he. also enjoys skiing for some nice relaxing, not-l<Hlangerous re.creation. As I asked John Rosania last week, I asked Scott what being a Campus Leader means to him. Scott confidently answered, "It provides me with the opportunity to help make decisions that effect the school; it also prepares me for the 'decision making process' I will encounter in the business world. I also feel that your experiences and what you make of them is the most impMant developmental aspect of a college education." Commuter Council meets once a week on Tuesdays at 12:00 in the Stark Learning Center room 209. Barth invites any commuter to come out and join their "th~y-plus" members at the meetings. Scott Barth 1s one of many fine leaders on campus, and as I have already said, stay tuned and check out our "Campus Leader" series because · m · ,ront &. · cnmm · · al p syc h .

The best Stephen King film was "Chistine," which was about a possessed 1957 Chevy. The director of this movie was the current master in the horror film medium, John Carpenter. In 1978 · he brought "Halloween" to the big screen. This story was about a seemingly indestructible killer, called "the boogeyman," who returned to his childhood town to unleash a reign of terror and murder. It was the largest grossing independent film of all time. Since then, Carpenter has directed or produced a number of good but far from successful films. These included "Starman" and "Escape From New York," to name a few. His real talent, though, lies in horror. In his latest thriller, "The Prince of Darkness," he sets out to recapture horror fans abound, and he does it quite successfully at that . The first fifteen minutes of "Prince" . . bo . b t •f .th 1standqwteth nn~, u 1 you can , w1 . s fi esereal tnte moments I you re m or some scares. n - "The Prince of Darkness" Donald Pleasance ("Halloween I & II'') plays the part of a priest who sets out to prevent Satan from entering our world. He recruits a college professor and some of his graduate science students to help him. The whole story is set in an old and abandoned church where the devil plans to make his grand entrance. Inside there is a glowing emerald glass cylinder with unusual evil powers. For instance, when someone gets to close to it, they get zapped and are therefore under the power of the devil. The army of the devil worshippers grows and the scares and suspense mount to an exciting finale. The camera shots are a large part of why "The Prince of Darkness" comes across in such a spectacular way. Carpenter used similar camera work in "Halloween.'' He used shots that contained the killer standing in the shadowed background without the helpless victim knowing. Elements like this make "Prince" a shocking thriller. Carpenter, believe it or not, also composed the music for this film like he did for "Halloween," "Christine," and "Escape from New York.'' John Carpenter's talents seem to be limitless in the realm of horror movies. Let's ~ with them! There's talk about Carpenter helm and directing " Is this a trick or will pleasant treat?

What, you say we had one at Wilkes College, Monday night? That's right, local woman and traveling storyteller, Susan Danoff entertained a packed CPA with her international tales and kept them spellbound with her mystical stories. She told eight tales, four under the title "Stories of Wisdom," and called, "Lies and Truths." The first four, the stories of wisdom, were quite diverse. The first was a Buddhist tale called "A Grain of Rice." The story was about a king, his daughters, and his need to pick a successor to the throne. The second was a Chinese tale about a farmer who had his crop stolen and his pursuit to have it returned to him. The third was a Jewish tale called "The Challas and the Ark." The story was about a man who wanted God's favor, so he had his wife bake loaves of bread for God, and placed them in the ark four A different perspective Life s by Bill Barber "'Tis not love's going that hurt my days/but that it went in little ways." Thus Edna Millay summed up the niggling quality in love's demise, and she was right. She just didn't go far enough. Love and love's foul-ups are one thing, but life--this grand expanse of time we fill with confusion and doubt--is another. That it should be rife with pettiness and little set-backs, that is the rub. I can handle catastrophes, deluges, stock market plummets, Middle East turmoil and the like. These bombard us daily and we deaden to them. After seven years of Reagan I'm ready to take on the Armageddon with one hand tied behind my back. But you show me a niggling little unnecessary foulup and I'll show you my complete undoing. In this category, the U.S. Post Office has become my nemesis. One should reasonably expect, given the price of postage, that one's mail, paltry as it my be, could be delivered on time. It seems, however, that wherever I have lived over the past hundred years, my mailbox is the last one on the route. Never mind ringing twice, my postman doesn't ring at little foul ups all. I try to be calm. I am a person who survives by mail. The daily interchange of things in envelopes has kept me alive longer than I care to mention. Let's face it, checks usually arrive through the mail. Bills also arrive through the mail. This is the yin and yang of daily life. In my case the bills are having much better luck than the checks, but I could even live with that, provided the mail would get here at all. I've heard a lot of good things about Civil Service jobs. I never knew, however, that postmen could willy-nilly declare their own holidays. Our postman has never made it to the box at the same time twice in the same month. I could even live with this if it weren't for the fact that the one day a week he chooses to take off is always the day I am feverishly on deadline and waiting for a check so that I can scurry over to the bank. Those days I long to be a vicious pit bull. I am not fond of sneaking up · on my mailbox, but I find myself doing more and more of it. Forget the two flights of stairs I have to descend and ascend. I like to feel, when the key opens the lock, that at least one little paper treasure is ,waiting for me. I can even live with an empty box from time to time. I cannot live with no delivery at all. I have begun watching from the window, snarling and snapping. I've even observed the postman shuffle down the street right past our door, dodge, tum left and disappear. I get my leash and I wait by the door, but nothing! My check was due days ago, and the postman suddenly turns up missing. I keep expecting to find one of those little missing child postcards addressed to Resident that has a picture of my postman on it I have had very important mail returned to sender, address unknown, on days that I spent all morning in my pajamas perched on the steps next to the mailbox. I've had checks sent from New York that have never arrived and had to be cancelled and rewritten. I've had invitations disappear, magazines stolen, and postcards from friends in Hawaii who've been back from Hawaii for weeks. Somehow, through all this, the bills always manage to get through. I'm sure there are gods and goddesses behind all of this. No one pays them any mind anymore, so they sneak in and out unnoticed. They trip up the mailman on the day he is carrying my long-overdue check. They befuddle his mind and make him stamp "return to sender" on my envelopes. On big days they give him the sniffles and he just stays home. I tried to call the Post Office to complain, but I couldn't find the number in the phone book. What the hell. 50 cents. I called information. I was ready to complain. I wanted badge numbers! I wanted the Post Master General! What did I get? A busy signal, that's what. Six times in a row! No, there's a conspiracy afoot. That's all there is to it. The gods and goddesses are bored to tears and they've moved into my neighborhood to harrass my mailman and my mailbox. There's no other reasonable explanation. I'm tied in knots by now. Here I finally get smart and write to Merrill Lynch, two weeks ago, and tell them "Sell that damn mutual fund and send me the money!" Two weeks ago! And what happens? The great crash of '87, that's what. I finally beat the odds, sell out just in the nick of time, the check is supposed to be in the mail, and what happens? The entire bottom falls out of the economy. With me, cooking eggs by my tent in the lobby, still waiting for my mail! And where is the postman? Where? You want to know where? He's taken the week off and gone to Hawaii. in the synogogue.

The players are; Captains Joyce Dait, Kim Cooper, Jane Zeller, Debbie Decesare, Debbie Marquart, Donna Vasquez, and Sue Dicton. All of these players will be missed next season not only because of their dedication, skill, and experience they brought to the field, but also for their enthusiasm and ability to unite a team. Good luck seniors. The lady stickers would also like to thank · the fans who supported them throughout the season. The Lady Colonels prepare to defend against a corner shot. Volleyball team defeated in Juniata tourney by Kathy Harris The Wilkes volleyball team enters this final week of competition with a 7-18 record after dropping their last six matches. Fine, consistant performances were turned in by Lisa Kravitz, Theresa Ayers, and Linda Straface. Wilkes began the week with a loss to the Lady Colonels of Susquehanna 0-3 (1-15, 4-15,1015). Kravitz had six kills while Ayers assisted on six kills. Straface successfully blocked four shots. In the doubleheader, Wilkes was defeated by Albright 0-2 (7-15, 6-15).

In their first match, Wilkes lost to La Salle 0-2 (2-15, 3-15). Ayers excelled with three aces, five digs and five assists.

The Colonels achieved this ·goal very easily as they destroyed Lebanon Valley before a large Homecoming crowd. With the 4120 victory over the Flying Dutchmen, the Colonels are now in .a three-way tie for first place, and will be looking to this Saturday as they host 10th ranked Widener. Saturday was once again the Carl DeLuca show. The senior quarterback set two new Colonel records--one for passing yardage in a single, and the other for touchdown passes in a season. On the day DeLuca completed 29 of 45 passes for 354-yards, and threw three touchdown passes. With the Colonel defense stopping Lebanon Valley, the Colonel offense wasted no time in giving the hometown fans something to cheer about Fullback Dean Ambosie bulled his way into the endzone from one yard out. Shawn Meagley's PAT was good and the Colonels were up 7-0. Ambosie's touchdown was set up by a beautiful pass recption by Ron Ulitchney which gave the Colonels first and goal at the two. There was no further scoring in the first quarter, but the second quarter was one that the Flying Dutchmen would like to forget. The Colonels erupted for 21 second quarter points. Wilkes' second touchdown was a 24-yard pass from DeLuca to Tony DiGrazia DiGrazia showed his talents on the play as he out jumped the Lebanon Valley defender. On the day the AllAmerican receiver caught eight balls for 102 yards. Wilkes' third score came by way of a great effort by Ambosie. Taking a screen pass from DeLuca at the Lebanon Valley 26 he cut and weaved his way to the endzone. Meagley's boot was good and the Colonels were up by ·a score of 210. With less than 20 seconds left in the first half DeLuca capped off the second quarter onslaught with a one-yard plunge. Meagley's fourth placement was good and the Colonels went into the locker room with a 28-0 lead. The Colonels not only dominated the first half offensively but also defensively.

He said the overall cost of the change will be outweighed by the positive results. · ';be bookstore's move to Chu:cli Hall will put the bookstore and mailroom in a central location and the shipping and receiving move will save many shipping problems previously encountered at Stark. O'Hop said the move will also solve some · physical problems. During the architectual process, for example, the loading dock was made about two feet lower than it should have been because Stark was built on slightl y different levels. This and the congested parking space pose problems in shipping. O'Hop said one problem will be what to place in the basement of Stark. Pesta said that he hopes to have work started on the bookstore soon, but 'doesn't want to inconvenience students buying books for the spring semester. He said that early work will not interfere with the sales part of the building to avoid confusion at the beginning of the semester. Church Hall will also undergo minor renovations to make accomodations for the bookstore. He said, "Our interest is in making Wilkes more attrae;tive, more accessible for clientele and faculty." O'Hop said that the problem with the buildings is "deferred maintenance." He added, "It has almost become imperative that we do this." He said that a dossier had been drawn up to see what major and minor repairs have to be done. This does not mean they will be done right away, but it is a proactive role that will help. It (change) takes a great deal of time." O'Hop said that vandalism is another problem which interferes with renovation. The danlage done effects the College by having people spend time and money making repairs when efforts could have been spent on other projects to help students in other ways. Keohane storms NewYork by Tom Urso ne, a senior at Wilkes, placed 100th in Sunday's New thon. The ROTC will soon be located in Slocum Hall on S. River St. A crowd of over twenty-two thousand people began a · gruelling 26.2 mile race through the five boroughs of New York City on Sunday. About ten minutes before 11 a.m. Sunday, the runners took off Among the many participants was Wilkes' Mike Keohane. The months of training that went into this race must have all been worth it when he crossed the finish line in an outstanding time of 2 hours and 30 minutes with an equally impressive 100th place finish. Remember that that finish represents at least the top one percent of all finishing participants. Now those are some impressive accomplishments for Mike's first marathon. In talking to Mike after the race I asked him how he felt and he replied, 'Tm sore from the waist down." And that's coming from someone who has been running for many years. I also learned that Mike went o•it in under 28 minutes for the first 5 miles, a respectable · here Mike qualified for the NCAA time if you are only running 5 Nationals by finishing as one of the miles.

Whether students realized it or not, this Tuesday marked the beginning of the Meet the Prez Series, where the president would make himself available to students in an open forum for questions, comments, or complaints. It seems, however, that a majority of the students on campus overlooked the date on their calendar, because with the exception of The Beacon photographer and myself, there was only one other student who showed up to take advantage of this opportunity to speak with the "brass" of Wilkes College. It is my hope that students merely overlooked the opportunity. My greatest apprehension is that many may have felt intimidated by the President. This should not be the case. Sure, Dr. Breiseth is the President of the College, but the man should be, and is, approachable. Your ideas as a student are not only important, they are vital to the success of Wil,kes College. If students are reluctant to approach him, Dr. Breiseth pointed out, to speak their mind about what goes on at Wilkes College, they will, as adults, be reluctant to approach the head of a corporation, their congressman, or their boss. I agree with Dr. Breiseth. Student§ should be willing to approach the President with their ideas and expect to have them listened to. The topics at the Meet the Prez session included information about the new gym, the bell tower, new programs in the works, the affect of the stock market problems on Wilkes, and just plain pride in Wilkes College. These are topics that you certainly do not get to broach with the President every day. This is a fantastic opportunity for.students to learn and to teach. Unfortunately, many students are ignoring this chance. I realize that students have busy schedules, but it only takes a moment to stop by the Stq,rk Lobby and talk to President Breiseth. If you have never had the opportunity to speak to the President, it would be wise to do so. After all, the school depends .on students as its backbone, and the President, although he certainly is in charge of the school, still essentially must answer for his actions. It is important to realize that although the President does not have to listen to your suggestions, you have every right to make them. Perhaps in the future problems can be avoided if the President gets a clear and consistent voice from the student body. Really, what other way can the President know what we are thinking, short of talking to us? There has been some criticism of The Beacon--we have been accused of leading students down a crooked path, perhaps even of being led down this path ourselves by members of the faculty. This is not the case. We at The Beacon have opinions and when necessary voice them. They are our own opinions. This does not make them any less valid. You, as students, have the right to voice your opinions as well. Utilize the forums you have available--Letters to the Editor, Meet the Prez, and other campus oragnizations. Prove to the President that you, indeed, do have opinions of your own. Each time The Beacon is accused of leading or being led, students are in fact being insulted. The Beacon does not have the ability to lead students down improper pathways. Students car. !~k at both sides of an issue and make an informed decision on their own, without being led by the faculty, administration, or even the editor of The Beacon. The most important lesson you can learn as a college student is when to take responsibility for your actions and the world around you. Meet the Prez is an excellent beginning for this kind of responsibility. I urge students to come out and be counted. Do not feel intimidated; do not ever feel that what you have to say won't count, or that you will end up sounding stupid. Every opinion is valid, and should have a place when considering the well-being of Wilkes CoHege. If last Tuesday was any indication, many students are reluctant to get involved with this kind of responsibility for whatever reason. It is, however, vital to the success of this school for students to get involved. Wilkes College is an important part of your future. Don't be satisfied just to sit by and let peQple run things for you. Get out there, meet the Prez; ask him questions. But especially, listen, and listen carefully, to his responses. Then, take that information and interpret it for yourself. If you are reading this editorial now, I can only assume that you are concerned about what happens on campus. Do not, however, take The Beacon's word as law. Read The Beacon, and go out and question the President about what you read. Take both sides into condsideration. I am confident that you will not be led, whether by The Beacon or by the President Meet the Prez is a golden opportunity. I don't believe that the school is going to change overnight, but it is up to you, as students, to at least plant the seed of change in the school. Meet the Prez, and make a difference. p. 3 '©:bt 1.fata:cott m6st cr is, "I ca have a c, is the ti VOL.

To me, it's the period halfway between Fall Break and Thanksgiving Break when you typically have two long papers and five tests in two weeks--not to mention assorted minor homework assignments. It's easy to figure out when midterm is actually upon you; the "danger signs" are easily recognizable, once you know what they are. For one, you suddenly start getting homework assignments--and tests--in classes you'd almost forgotten you had.

And, worst of all, when it's been so long since you've had a "good night's sleep" that five hours seems luxurious, you know it's November, and Thanksgiving's just around the comer.

His wife Judy resides in West Chester, PA, with daughter Lizanne until the family moves into their new home near Wilkes on December 20th. Vice-president Waldner feels that there are certain plans and goals which students who are taking undergrad11ate courses at Wilkes should keep in mind. He said, "Students should be active participants in classes. Be prepared for class, to contribute to the learning environment by asking questions or stating points of view in class." Students will benefit from college experiences, he said, to the extent which students become active participents. He said that over the long run, they will develop intellectual characteristics and work habits that will be a great help through their lives. Another goal is personal planning. Waldner said that "by the time students are in their junior year, they should have a w,;tten plan. This plan should specify the long term career objectives and strategies for achieving those objectives." He said the goal of the plan should also be related co what the student is studying at Wilkes. Upon observation of many students, Waldner said that he has George Waldner was hired as vice president of academ~ found that students who have done this planning and had goals meanin.gful to them have been the students who excell in academic and extracurricular life of the college.

For many, giving blood is a bothersome or worrisome idea. Many students who don't give blood say that they are too scared to give or just don't have the time. With all of the recent publicity received by AIDs, some people claim to be afraid of getting AIDS by giving blood. Since the AIDs virus is only transmitted by contaminated blood, or sexually transmitted by body fluids, donors do not risk getting the disease from donating blood. Acoording to Mary Supey, director of Health Services at Wilkes, "The reason you cannot get AIDs is because they use a sterile set to draw the blood. Eve:ything is disposable and thrown away (after each person). She said, the need for blood is as strong as ever. "The number one cause of death in people your age (late teens--early 20s) is accidents. HEY YOU! Yeah, you. You may be saving the life of your roomate. Accident victims use a lot of blood, and if it's not there.. it's just ~t. there." Supey said "If we (Wilkes) don't reach ohr quota they're (the local Red Cross) under half of their requirement for the day." This year's goal is 220 pints. She said that last year only seven staff members contributed, and within the last four years, the quota has not yet been reached. The local Red Cross branch supplies blood to nearly 1.5 million people. To supply blood to such a large number of people, the Red Cross needs 430 donors a day. In recent years, people have been declining to give blood for more and more reasons. Now, according to Supey, the local branch is on the verge of declaring a "blood emergency."

According to John Schmidt, president, the group is not living up to its purpose. He attributes this to a lack of enthusiasm within certain parts . of the college. He says that there is only a 50-60% turnout rate of dorm representatives at the bi-weekly meetings of the Council. The purpose of the IRHC is basically to plan and direct projects involving dormitories, as well as Inter-Residence Hall (IRHC) of Wilkes College on-campus organization that aliason between the dorms administration.

The IRHC was established in 1955 as the "Inter-Dormitory Council" to serve as a "coordinating unit between the dormitories and the administration of the college." IRHC has sponsored one event this year, in conjunction with CC: the Halloween Dance of last weekend. Schmidt said the dance showed a large turnout of students. There was live music by the rock band, Gandalf, and costume contests were also held. Such events help in creating a sense of campus unity which would be impossible without student participation and input The next event being planned, also with CC, is a Christmas dinner-dance to be held in early December. These are the only things the IRHC has planned so far. The Council is looking for new and creative ideas that would help to increase dorm participation within the college. As it is now, dorms exist almost as individual enuues. The greatest contact between residence halls is that of brother and sister dorms which may sponsor small events between themselves. A typical meeting consists of discussing any important business at hand, then opening the floor to suggestions and complaints. Constructive complaints are welcome; but "all talk/no action" suggestions are frowned upon. In order for the IRHC to serve the students, it requires student input. Each dormitory elects a president who also serves as the IRHC representative in most cases. Schmidt says that he "would like to see people other than the dorm presidents -show up for the meetings." At the present time, there are several committees to handle specific areas of resident life concern. A maintenance committee is in charge of handling any suggestions in improving the physical condition of dormitories. A food committee will talk to Mr. Arthur Daly, director of food service for the college cafeteria, if there are any comments or suggestions made in ·this area. According to Schmidt, however, there has been no student input. There is also a dorm parking committee and a publicity committee. Student volunteers are invited to join the committee of their choice or provide their insight in any of the committee concerns. IRHC will have regular office hours, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. everyday beginning November 16th, in its office on the third floor of the Conyngham Student Center. This will allow students to have direct access to IRHC members in order to voice any problems or concerns. The next meeting of the IRHC is on Thursday, November 12, at 12 noon in SLC 166. All interested dorm students are welcomed and urged to attend the meetings to provide creative input or just to get a feel of the Council's job. IMMORTALIZE YOUR WORDS JOIN THE AMNICOLA COPY STAFF.

But, you don't want to have to go to New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, or any other mecca of fine entertainment to have tlris happen. Well, as happens so often, the Programming Board says, "your wish is our command!" This Friday night, the same night that the Programming Board's own Dandy "D" Don Zelek celebrates his birthday, in the S.U.B., you won't be treated to just one comedian. No, no, that would be to easy. How about two comedians? Sound good to you? It's now time for the second "Comedy Laff-Off." Unlike last year, when we got two pure stand-up comedians (Billiam Coronel and Bill Rutkowski), this year we get a comic-juggler, Jack Swersie, and the headliner stand-up man, Ron Darian. . First I'll tell you a little about the "opening act.'' Jack Swersie is a comedian and also a juggler extrordinaire. Swersie began his career soon after his completion of a course of study from the prestgious Academy Theatre in Atlanta. As of 1983 his career began to soar after opening spots with Buddy Rich, Eartha Kitt, Jay Leno, Harry "Nightcourt" Anderson, Al Stewart, Pete Burbatti, Jimmy "Dy-No-Mite" Walker, Shirley "What's Happening" Hemphill, Margaret Whiting, and trumpeteer Maynard Ferguson. He has done his thing in such places as Caesar's, Harrah's, and the Tropicana Hotel in Atlantic City , the Host Farms in Lancaster, PA, the Mt. Airy Lodge in the Pocono Mountains, and of course the F .M. Kirby Center in our own back yard. Juggling is Swersie's forte. He leaves his audiences with their jaws scraping the ground as he juggles such interesting things as knives, cleavers, machetes, flaming devil sticks, bowling balls, apples, vegetables, mints, boxes, and balls " -- all with skillful abandonment.'' He also is a skillful fireeater. Did that get you curious? Do you think that would intrigue you? We're not even half done my friends, you see, you've got to meet Ron Darian. Ron Darian has been a LaffOff headliner for five years now. In between his touring, that lasts about forty weeks of the year, Darian is doing commercials for such things as Trump Casinos, Diet Coke, and Michelob beer. Most recently, Darian was the headliner at Caroline's, "New York's premier comedy venue," where he packed the house, they loved him so much they asked him to come back in January for a week. He also recently guest starred on David Brenner's "Nightlife," where he appeared with William "Capt. James T. Kirk" Shatner and Leonard "Mr. Spock" Nimoy and he performed his famous "Star Trek" routine. Darian studied acting at the impressive Circle in the Square Theatre Workshop, in New York City. So you can see that stand-up comedy isn't the only form of entertainment that Darian is attuned to. He has also worked on television, Broadway, and the movies. Darian was in the cast Broadway production of as well as the Regional Productions of "Play h -_Sam," "Godspell," and 'T men of Verona.'' If you vision he has made ap the soap operas "Ryan's "One Life to Live." He graced the screens of vision. He has been on a time special called "The York Laff-Off," and Ill special "Laughs," as well nationally syndicated "E - the Improv.''

You· see, the music was actually the sounds of Kirk Edwards, LNE! The latest installment of the '87-'88 Solo-Concert Series, sponsored by the Programming Board, was two hours of honky-tonkin' blues tunes, as presented by the 34 year old (actually, he tu.med 35 yesterday) journeyman. Edwards opened with a series of 50's post-war songs, the Korean war of course, by such artists as Jimmy McCracklin and the Blues Blasters and Frankie Lee Simms. This was followed by some songs from the 20's and 30's about such topics as getting drunk and coming of age, by Tampa Red and Merle Travis. · His next "generalization" was music called "cellar music." This is music that came from the deep south. He performed songs by such artists as Delbert McClinton, Tommy Serabian --an old friend that he used to do an occasional duo with that just recently passed away-and the author of the classic "Mr. Bojangles," Jerry Jeff Walker. He followed the "deep south" songs with some songs that definitely fit their name. He called them "Rockin' Blues." These were very up tempo fast moving fun songs. He played some songs by Willie Dixon, Junior Wells, Young Jesse, and even Bob Dylan. Edwards wasn't confined to performing all cover material. Of the songs that he did, four of them were written by him. The first that he did was a song cailed "Call Me Anytime." it was dedicated to an exgirlfriend who went from plain old singer to Grammy Award nominee and needed someone to help her deal with her success, so she called him-at 3:00 a.m. The next two songs, although they had no story prefacing them; the words said it all. They were called "Celestial Dancin"' and "The Simple Things." His final original work was a song about a time he was travelling to his shows in a camper, where he had all of his worldly posessions. He left the camper alone for a while and everything was stolen. The song tells of how he let it slide and just went on knowing there was no chance of his retrieving the stolen stuff. The song is appropriately called "First Light, Second Wind." Although he calai.med to not be a comedian he slipped in a song that was quite humorous. The untitled song was about a "three legged dog" in the old South who came back to reap revenge on the person (or dog) who "shot my pa (paw)." You know, "pa"-"paw," get it? Well, I laughed. The . only problem I saw Continued on p. 10 The rhododendron beckon me as I trudge up the walk toward the library, past what I presume is a fossilized tree stump. The dreamer in me bids me pause a brief moment, but my book-filled briefcase weighs me down. I pull open the heavy door with my free arm and enter the Farley Library. Libraries have been special sanctuaries since I was five, when I chose a book from the shelf for my mother to read to me. I have worked in libraries processing, cataloging, and shelving books. I love the quiet reassurance books exude in libraries. But, I am spoiled. _I expect the book I need now to be represented in the card catalog and on the bookshelf, or in circulation but available to me at a later date. Frustration, disappointment, and anger are emotions I have experienced when the book is not available, particularly when searching for books authorect by women, and books dealing with the multitude of issues facing today's women. My frustration, disappointment, and a11irer led me to investigate why a gap exists at Farley Library in an important subject area. Thanks to the Women's Movement and the changing roles of womyn, interest in this area has exploded. Consider that 49% of Wilkes' enrollment is female, and that they will graduate to live and work in a world where half the population is female. The library inventory should include a fair percentage of books addressing and relating to women's issues and concerns. Heidi Selecky, acqms1t1on librarian, works in a glass-enclosed office on Farley's second floor. She has the awesome responsibility of choosing books we students eventually use for reading and research. Faculty members from each department submit order cards for books they want ordered. Every department is budgeted an allotment based on the circulatiqn of that r particular subject arr1 instance, Ms. Selecky language and literature the most widely circula ever, certain depanme those in the sciences, ruc geted with that because become obsolete sooner. these books must be re frequently, and unfort are more expensive.

First, it left only Wilkes and Susquehanna atop of the MAC. Second, it propelled the Colonels into the top ten in the nation for division III. And if the victory proved anything, it proved that the Colonels are a team, and that fact has made 1987 one heck of a season.

The name "Oxfam" comes from the Oxford Committee on Famine Relief, a committee founded in England in 1942 and brought to Boston in 1970. Tony Vento, campus minister, said that students wishing to skip one or more meals must sign up ahead of time in Pickering Hall at the designated areas to miss a particular meal in order to credit the cost of their meal to Oxfam. Those wishing to partake in the fast will be able tp go to a fast support station in the dining hall. All who participate in the fast will be served liquids such as coffee and tea so they won't become dehydrated. Those who do not bring canned food items or wish to fast may give donations for "Feed a Friend" to WHEAT members in Stark lobby during the Campus Action Week.

Who was this man, and why was he here? Perhaps you recognized this individual as Wyoming Valley's maverick columnist, Steve Corbett, whose column appears several times each week in the Times Leader. Mr. Corbett is noted for his often controversial and always timely treatment of local, national, and global issues. Steve ·Corbett's appearance in the lobby of Stark was a prime opportunity for students to express their views openly, vent their emotions, and listen to and consider the opinions of others regarding a variety of topics. Students seemed to welcome the chance and were eager to participate in this open forum for the exchange of ideas and op1mons. After all, it's not everyday that such an opportunity presents itself on the Wilkes campus. But the days in which such an event is considered a rarity at Wilkes may very well be drawing to a close. In fact, Steve Corbett's appearance was not a one-time only esident Breiseth dresses students uesday's "Meet the Prez" · !Opher Breiseth shared of the college in answer questions. These were raised mainly about endowment and the nsc to a question about of the recent stock market the college's endowment, povided a concise answer. that although the net value of the fund has the loss is substantially below the overall market loss. The college's endowment is being handled by two firms who have been given more flexibility by the Board of Trustees to move these monies toward safer, more conservative, ends, for example bonds and cash. They were also given the freedom to return funds to the stock market if and when that alternative seems more attractive. Unless the · international economy declines radically, Breiseth feels there is little threat to Wilkes funding. Major indicators of the U.S. economy are "remarkably healthy," says Breiseth. In regard to the Belltower, Breiseth expressed a positive attitude. He believes that eventually the structure will serve to "define" the college and become an identifying symbol of the campus. He explained why work seemed to have stopped for awhile: crucial building materials were being delivered. Constuction has begun once more, and should be finished in the near future. When construction is finished, Breiseth said, most of the talk will probably be laid to rest event; it served also as an invitation to students, faculty, and staff to attend, and even more, to be actively involved in next Monday's open forum.

It seems that Wilkes students would fail miserably if asked those questions. Doors are regularly propped open so students do not have to tackle stairs in order to let other students into the dorms, and when the doors are not left propped open, students allow other students who don't live in the dorm to enter without question; that is, they allow unidentified people into the hall with the rationale that "somebody here must be expecting him/her." No list is kept of these guests; they are not required to notify anyone that they are in the hall.

The advisory board is chaired by Horace Kramer and includes representatives from the professional, business, civic and cultural community. These individuals meet periodically to review ways in which the College's continuing education programs can meet the needs of the region. The Wilkes Division of Continuing Education has received national recognition for its role in linking the campus and community, and offers a comprehensive schedule of courses each spring, fall and summer.

Recently the team traveled to Shepherd College, Shepherdstown, West Virginia for the competition in the Annual "Shenandoh Novice Fall Forensic Tournament." Wilkes sent an allfemale team to compete in the twoday tournament. At the conclusion of the competition the college's speakers had won the Second Place Overall award. In the competition for individual awards Laurie Eater won four trophies. Her victories came with a third place win in the area of entertainment competition, a second place trophy in the original persuasion oratory division, a second place honor in informative speaking, and rounding out her performance with a fifth place award for her literary program in Oral Interpretation of Prose Literature. Robyn Paisley, another new member of the Wilkes team, won a second place trophy in the entertainment division, sometimes called After-Dinner Speaking. She ~so wc:m a second place award in Oral Interpretation of Prose and finished her competition with a very impressive first place victory in the difficult field of Communication Analysis. The tournament officials recognized Ms. Paisley with an additional honor by announcing that she was the thir~ best speaker at the tournament and announcfog that she was the third best speaker at the tournament and awarding her a trophy for that distinction. Cathy Carey was the third member of the squad to bring home trophies. Ms. Carey won the third place overall award for Extemporaneous Speaking. She also won a fifth place award for her efforts in expository or Informative Speaking. The team brought eleven awards/honors back to Wilkes, and the members of the Speech/Debate Union are well on their way to establishing a new record for the number of awards won in one semester.

This week we'd like to have you get to know the leader of one of the more interesting clubs on campus. Without further adieu, this week's Campus Leader is Stephen Morris-~Circle K president. Steve is a native of Wilkes-Barre and a graduate of Bishop Hoban High School. He is a business administration major looking forward to a career in Real Estate Development As with our -other "Campus Leaders," to fully understand their positions you first must understand what their club is all about. This case is no different. To get the bottom of what Circle K is· all about, I asked Morris. He told me, "Circle K International is the largest student organization in America. We are sponsored by local Kiwanis clubs. We hold programs to help others, other non-profit organizations; we help others while having a good time ourselves." The road to presidency was a natural one for Steve. After serving a successful year as the club's treasurer, he ran for and achieved his goal of becoming president. When asked why he ran Steve replied, "We had a good year last year; it wasn't by any means correctional. I thought I could do a good job." His job includes seeing that the club is run efficiently and that communication is kept up with other Circle K's, Kiwanis clubs and high school Key Clubs. Otherwise, he says, "Each officer has his or her own duties." If the last few years are any indication, Wilkes Circle K has been doing its job ... and then some! Last year it brought home many individual and club awards from the District (which has since been abolished, leaving Wilkes Circle K to be an independant club) Convention. Steve, his board, (Michael Fender, vice-president; Jill Sowa, treasurer; Diane Paltanavage, secretary; Linda Kelly, sophomore representitive; Robert Orlando, junior representitive; and Susan Keller, senior representitive) and Wilkes' representitves on the Regional and International boards (Colleen Forlenza, regional coordinator; and Leo J. Geskey, Jr., International Trustee), have been working very hard this year to match last year's accomplishments. Morris' term as president began at the end of last year, so the club remained active, with the members who live locally, during the summer. Since that time they rave held a "Special Day for Special People," for the area's mentally handicapped, a volleyball marathon in which they raised over $200 for AIDS research, and a haunted house where they earned $2,900 for the American Cancer Society. They also co-sponsored this year's first blood drive, ushered at the Burns Alumni Bell Tower and Carillon dedication, and coat checked at the annual John Wilkes dinner. Some events for the rest of the semester include an American Heart Association skate-a-thon, and their annual "Santa-on-Wheels" project (a toys for underpriveliged children program). As I usually do, I asked Steve what being a "Campus Leader" means to him. I must say, his answer was the most unique I've received. He says, "I Continued on p. 7 • ID by Brian Dorsey Art. When will we accept a universal definition? Some consider a wild brush stroke of color slapped on canvas to be art. Others say art should be precisely measured and true to life. Stephen Sondheim wrote in a lyric, "Work is what you do for others liebchen, Art is what you do for yourself." Professor Emeritus Klaus Holm, throughout his fifteen years as technical director of the Wilkes t, Theater · and professor of theater, combined his work with his art, developing the respected theater program at Wilkes, a tradition that still stands today. Klaus Holm, a graduate of New York University and the Yale School of Drama, came to Wilkes as a visiting professor in 1970. Before coming to Wilkes, Professor Holm worked on and off Broadway in shows including "Six Characters in Search of an Author" and "The King and I."

Darian opened with two interesting impersonations. First came his impression of the opening of a baseball game with the echoing "Star Spangled Banner," followed by a similar impression of an airport public address announcement He then went in to the bulk of his fabulous routine. This involved a great deal of television humor. Darian did his famous "Star Trek" routine along with jokes on the "Twilight Zone," and commercials. The "Star Trek" routine involved an absolutely hilarious impersonation of Captain James T. Kirk as played by William Shatner. Had I closed my eyes, I probably would have thought that it was Shatner himself. You couldn't close your eyes, though. . The impersonation was heavily visual, with body ticks, ducking, and hand motions, like Shatner used to do. He also did Scotty, Chekov, and the lovable Dr. Bones McCoy. He also asked the questions, "What did Uhura do?" and "Why can't Spock round off numbers like .9999999 to 1?" As for commercials, he wondered about the Mediprin commercial--"! haven't got time for the pain"--Fruit and .. . , oh, what's that cereal called, and he did a demonstration of a "don't do marijuana" commercial, with three takes. He moved from the TV stuff to high school guidance counselors and gym teachers, then to his fear (or embarrassment) of flying, harrassing poor pet shop animals, world leaders, a long routine about the latest installment of the "Friday the 13th" series--"Friday the 13th, part 9 billion- Jason's back and he's really pissed!-- and of course the old stand-by, sex.

Sound like a dream come true? Sound too ridiculous even to imagine? Well, you can stop dreaming because here it is--Shakespeare for the common man. "How?" you ask. Simple. All you have to do is attend a performance of "What you Will," in the Center for the Performing Arts on November 12 through the 15. That's all there is to it "What You Will" is an ingenious blend of music, comedy, and Shakespeare that will have you "rolling in the aisles" at the same lines you stared at for days in a literature class. An ability to "open up" the world of Shakespeare isn't all "What You Will" has going for it. In fact, probably its biggest asset has nothing to do with a centuries old writer. The production's biggest asset is its writer/director Dr. Michael O'Neill, director of theater at Wilkes. A graduate of Fordham University, Dr. O'Neill received his Masters and Ph .. D. at Purdue University. "What You Will" is one of many plays that Dr. O'Neill has written, and not the first that has been put into production. In 1981, the play "Comon Room" was put on at Wilkes. In addition, he has had plays produced in off-Broadway theaters and in other colleges. The original idea for "What You Will" came about three years ago for the inauguration of the Free Outdoor Summer Shakespeare The- Don & Ed ater at Wilkes. 1t was, of course, music.

There would be no worry though, if students were as dedicated and determined to complete their educations as is Mary Lou Swank, a senior accounting major from Hop Bottom, Pennsylvania, a small town six miles north of Nicholson. Mary Lou may be the only non-traditional student enrolled taking eighteen credit hours, while parenting two children, working as a parttime bartender, and maintaining a 3.85 overall academic average. There are one-hundred and sixtyeight hours in a week. Mary Lou spends sixty-eight of her one-hundred and sixty-eight hours in class, studying, or commuting. In between bites of lasagna in the SUB, Mary Lou recounted her journey to Wilkes College. Life held promise for Mary Lou when she was a seventeen-yearold high school senior enrolled in one course at Penn State University. She was determined to stay in college after graduation despite setbacks. Her father refused to pay her college tuition or support her, and since she was unable to borrow money at age eighteen, she worked two jobs. There were not enough hours in a twenty-four hour period to work, attend class, study, eat, and sleep, so at the end of 1/2 semester, Mary Lou flunked out. - The experience contributed to years of indecision about returning to college. Mary Lou confronted the college decision head-on when she became a single parent and head of the household. It was crucial she improve upon her skills to adequately provide for her children and herself, which meant she must try college again after twenty years. It would be twenty years removed from studying, tests, and strict discipline. Would she remeber how to study? Could she take a test and not forget the material? Would younger students accept her? Could hernine-year-old son and herelevenyear-old daughter cope with more household responsibilities, and a mother who would spend hours away from them and_ home? Mary Lou estimated that with the thirty-six transferrable credits, it would take two years to complete her education. But, that meant taking eighteen credit hours per semester and twelve credits in summer sessions. Mary Lou hoped grants and a scholarship would ease their financial burden, since they would be living on a "wing and a prayer," until she graduated. When Mary Lou enrolled in September, 1986, it was with the blessing and support of her children. Despite her hectic schedule, Mary Lou took extra time to share observation as a non-traditional student at Wilkes. Approximately one-third of the nation's college population is non-tradititional students. Some colleges and universities have been slow to recognize the special needs of non-traditionals. At a time when non-traditional student populations are on the increase, it is important institutions be aware and address their special needs. Mary Lou has had a gratifying student experience at Wilkes. Individual faculty and administration members have been sensitive to Mary Lou's needs as a long-distance commuter and have been helpful. Traditional students are friendly. Mary Lou reiterated the importance of traditional and non-traditional students sharing e:tperiences, as both have much to offer each other. At this time there is no organized non-traditional support group on campus. There is, however, a significant, unorganized support network of non-traditionals. These students meet in the SUB, the library, class, or the courtyard to discuss how to manage school, jobs, and family. They also compare notes on professors, courses, the honors system, and academic recognition. Would a support group be more effective if organized by a Wilkes staff person? Mary Lou thinks that might work if the organizer was personally familiar with the specific needs of nontraditional students. In six months Mary Lou will will have overcome subs riers, formed new frie discovered self-confidence, ieved a twenty-year goal. no doubt in my mind she a position in a local firm, and will begin to graduate school by May.

Again this year they look to be two of the tougher teams to beat. "As a league it looks good. There's really not one team we can single out right now. Most of the teams are pretty good," Gallagher stated. Steeber commented that "the games between Scranton and King's are going to be tough because of the city rivalries." Boyd said, "Definitly Scranton and King's will be tough games." Coach Rainey also believes the Scranton and King's games will be four of the hardest game to ·be played this season. "The toughest teams are in our division, Scranton and King's. It's been that way for years and I don't expect it to change this year," Rainey said. "We lost eight games last year. Four of those games were to them. If we're going to be a good basketball team we have to beat them (Scranton and King's)." "FDU-Madison will also be a tough team.

''I'd definitly like to win the MAC's and then go on to regionals," Jacoby said. "I feel that we have a good shot at winning our conference. To win the conference we must win the key games," Boyd replied. Rainey's feelings follow those of his players, "I would like for us to be in contention in February and to make it to the playoffs in MAC. That makes it exciting for everybody involved," Rainey said. He then added, "It takes a lot of hard work in October and November to do that . If we don't play well in December the end of the season might not mean anything, and that's what our season is all about, anyway, making it to the playoffs."

The winner of the yearly match has, in the past, been determined by the team which scratches and claws the deepest This particular contest always · carries with it a certain intensity, and this year's matchup was no -different From the opening whistle, both teams displayed high emotion. The Colonels initiated the scoring as Sean Lockhead recorded his first goal of the season. Lockhead's goal was the result of an indirect kick which was taken by John Pursell from thirty-five yards out. Lockhead accepted the indirect kick and headed it neatly into the back of the net. Wilkes seemed to have the upper hand at this point of the game, but were unable to secure the one-goal lead. With a little over a minute to play in regulation, the Monarchs capitalized on a similar situation at the opposite end of the field. The King's goal tied the score and sent the contest into overtime. Two scoreless ten minute overtimes were played and the two teams were forced to settle for a draw. This season was the final season for four of the Colonels starters. Seniors Matt Ryan, Paul Tavaglione, Gerard Piazza, and John Pursell each ended their final seasons in fine fashion Lenny Rosanoff stops a Monarch shot. As much as one hates to see the seniors of this year's team leave, one also must consider those who came into the program this year and those who shall return to play next season. At the start of the season as many as · a dozen freshmen and first year players wore the blue and gold for Wilkes. Freshmen Mike Leczycki, Chris Shenefield, and Lenny Rosanoff each received recognition this year for their fine performances. Lenczycki recorded 13 season to earn himself in Colonels scoring. added an extra threat all as Wilkes' left winger saved enough shots 10 six shutouts.

It was a game plagued by mistakes and turnovers that Juniata gladly accepted. The Indians held the Colonels on their first possession and took over at their own forty. Juniata wasted no time in putting up the first points of the game as quarterback Cubby Davis hooked up with Don Betar for a 29-yard touchdown pass. On Wilkes' next series disaster struck. A fumble gave Juniata excellent field position deep inside Colonel territory. Betar tossed and 18-yard option pass to Mike Cottle. That score gave Juniata a 14-0 lead.

Groups of guests were shown mosf of the major buildings on campus to give them a look at the college's physical facilities. They were shown the main administrative and classroom buildings, as well as some of the residence halls. From 1:15 to 3 in the afternoon, the college's academic departments held "open house" for people interested in exploring the benefits and curriculum of areas they might possibly enroll in. Representatives from each department were on hand to answer specific student questions about the discipline. Additionally, directors of Act 101, the College Learning Center, Career Services, Financial Aid, and Residence Life were available to inform students of their important services and to answer any questions they may have had concerning these areas. The Office of Admissions assembled a "comprehensive introduction" to the college to answer many of the. questions and concerns that people may have about Wilkes. It was a day for students to get to know the college by seeking information in their area(s) of interest and speaking to faculty and students as well as touring the physical facilities of the campus. Frank Kamus, associate dean of admissions, felt that the day went well. He added that "the faculty did a superb job." Three hundred young men and women attended, many of whom held individual conferences with members of the admissions staff, and several of whom participated in official interviews. The two departments which received the largest show of interest were Engineering and Health Sciences. appy Thanksgivin9 �N~l.118 PAG&:IWQ Editorial Letters to the Editor ICES: Critical criterion Colonels' Pride With the end of the semester fast approaching, students' minds are being filled with thoughts of registration, overdue papers, backed-up reading assignments, and finals. Another thing that comes with the end of the semster are the endless filling out of "bubbles" on the Instructor and Course Evaluation Forms {ICES). Every semster I hear the same thing from my fellow classmates--"Oh, no, not these things again ..." or worse yet-- "Now I can really stick it to him/her. He'll pay for that DI got on that quiz in September!" There is, of course, nothing wrong with a little healthy joking about the minor nuisance that these forms present. These forms, however, also present students with a valuable forum. How many times have you thought, "If I were teaching this course, I would do this, or I would grade this wayr' Short of going to graduate school and becoming a teacher yourself, you have very little recourse when it comes to a teacher's methods. ICES can give you a chance, if you take them seriously, to help yourself and future Wilkes students maintain the quality of education here on campus. Although we all joke about tough professors, we should want a professor who challenges us. Many times, these are the professors who are not the most popular people when it's time to study for tests or when the students are looking at their cumulative averages. Certainly, these professors are not the most popular people when it comes time to fill out evaluations. • This presents a potential problem. Can students be reliable sources of criticism? This criticism is quite.valid. These forms are used in such important decisions as the evaluation of tenure status, promotions, and salary increases. The forms can also affect the overall reputation of a professor on campus. Therefore, the way students go about filling the forms out is vital. A student who can approach the forms with an open mind, and a realization of just how vital these forms are, can probably make ~onstructive criticisms with very little bias. Students, however, who see the forms as a vehicle for revenge or as a "littl~ joke" to play on the prof really do not realize the damage they are doing, and naturally are not reliable sources of criticism. But can the who~e pr~ess _of allowing students to express their opinions be considered invalid because of the actions of vindictive students? The administrators, as well, have a responsibility to take these forms seriously. Sometimes personalities and politics take precedence over students' views. But there is no reason why politics should have to enter into any evaluation that is made of a professor's abilities. Administrators can fall into the same trap that students do. They can Jet their personal views influence how they look at a faculty member. The importance of an evaluation is not who the professor supports on the staff, or what he believes is right for the College. The real issue should be--is he doing his job and is he doing it well? The only ones who can truly indicate how a professor is doing are the students involved in the course. The ICES are perhaps the most important way for a stu~ent ~o speak out Writing a letter to the Editor, meeting the prez, or getting involved can help, but in the final estimation, the one way a student can make a direct contribution to his education is to fill out these_ forms and to take them as seriously as possible. Although certainly the students cannot be the only criterion when determining whether a professor is a good or a bad one, they are certainly integral to any valid evaluation. -~---'-'----''-'-==='----tt-t._t_~_ffl1_t_a:_C_Ott-- - - - - - - - - l ') VOL.

I was privileged to see five of this year's football games, I feel that the players of the team have good reason to take pride in their achievement even though two of the five, Wilkes lost In those two losses the team never quit. They continued to fight until the clock expired. On my way to the last game I had a thought of making a sign reading "Colonels' Pride." Unfortunately, I was already gone and I could not buy a piece of poster board to make the sign. Nothing at this game made me feel any different. Maybe the phrase "Colonels' Pride" can catch on in the manner that Penn State Proud caught on for that institution. I hope because of this letter students and alumni think this is a good idea. I already have a propsed design for a tee shirt with the inscription "Colonels' Pride." I personally feel that taking pride in this institution's sports teams' is something of the greatest importance. Arthur D. Scola Speaking Out Dear Editor: I agree with a statement made by William Barber in his column published in the November 5, 1987 issue of The Beacon. He wrote, "one of the things we learn when we grow up is when to shut up." This is a statement which I don't particularly like, but tend to agree with. There are some opinions which need to be expressed and others which are better left unsaid. No matter how old a person is, that person will find himself maturing during the college years. We learn from being around other people and expressing our opm1ons. Sometimes we don't speak up and voice our opinions when we have the chance. The golden opportunity to speak only comes once in a while. If we let that chance go by, we may regret it later. I am already regretting the times there were any questions sat there without anything At other times, we feet in our mouths. unnecessary or dcstru ments which only hurt also regret the times w spoken about one student ID on! y to find out that one told the other what I · their backs.

One question asked by Corbett which brought forth many comments from students was "What are you going to do when you get out of college"? No one answered at first. Then Corbett said most people have to pay their dues (even those who have gone to a four year college) before getting that higher paying job they're after. He said he thought that most students think they're going to walk out of college and get their jobs handed to them. He added, "You're wrong"! Student• response on this issue varied from outright denial to reluctant agreement. The majority of people present sat quietly through the program until asked a question.

I did. I could always write a column about how hard it is to write a weekly column--especially when you have a topic you want to use, but you're afraid to write about because you think that if you mention the "a-word" one more time this semester, your Macintosh disk will come alive and throw a thesaurus at you. So I won't mention the "aword." I won't write about the dance, even though the Programming Board put a lot of hours into it and only 100 people (instead of the usual 300+) showed up. That's it. I've decided. I won't have a topic this week. There's no point in writing about apathy on this campus. No one would feel like reading the article, anyway. �PAGE FOUR '' Hypercard '' now available Registration b·u t twice a by Rob Mac Arthur Leo Geskey, raduate Com uter Science student by Michele Broton Something new and interesting is being introduced to MacIntosh users everywhere! "Hypercard" is here! This may sound like some sort of credit card from the 25th century. But, in actuality, Hypercard is a new program designed to be used with the MacIntosh computer. This piece of software allows users to generate applications without having to program. Graphical information which was never available on a MacIntosh program before is available at the mere insertion of "Hypercard." ave a demonstration on the new software. Maps, graphs, charts, lab reports, . diagrams, a day by day calendar, and a slide program can be accessed easily by those who have little or no experience in programming. Because the features of this program are hard to describe to those who have not seen its capabilities firsthand, a demonstration of "Hypercard" will be held for anyone interested on November 24th in the MacIntosh Lab (Stark 134) at 11 a.m. The demonstration, entitled "Software Erector Set" will also serve as an introduction to a course called "CS 298: Hypercard" to be taught by Dr. John A. Koch during the spring semester. Koch suggested that students desiring to take the course should have completed the CS 225 Pascal course prior to taking the CS 298 course. The session is also open to faculty members interested in learning to use "Hypercard" who have no prior programming experience. Everyone should learn about "Hypercard," a taste of the future, according to Koch. Those interested in the program may contact him at his office in Stark Learning Center room 426 or at extension 439. Registration . . .it's that time of the year again. For those of you freshman who haven't gone through the torture of registration yet, be prepared for closed classes and lines that back up the stairs.

Yes, the more common classes like English 102 at 10:00 a.m. will be closed by the time the F-L Freshmen get around to visiting Sturdevant Hall, but the upperclassmen don't have to worry about that.

Vicc-presidentGcorgeWaldner said ICES forms arc instrumental, but not the only factor in the teacher evaluation process. According to Waldner, there are three principle areas which are important in the instructor evaluation process. These are: teaching effectiveness (ICES is one of the six indices used to measure teaching cffectivness), scholarship and service. Waldner said most colleges and universities use surveys similar to ICES to get student imput. He sil.id that the idea for these forms was around at least 15 years ago and they have been used as a way of finding out how students are responding to a particular course and to a particular aspect of that course. He said that those instructors who have scored particularly low on the survey should ask themselves why students likes Hunger and Education Action Taskforce (WHEAT) is holding "Campus Action made those responses and what can Canned food is being collected in the lobby of Stark Learnin2 Center for the "Feed be done to change any problem program sponsored by Channel 16 and the Com~ission on Ec_onomic Opportunity. areas. dents will also be fasting and donating money which would paid for their meals to Dr. Umid R.

New York, New York! 1the Dr. James Rodechko, dean of College of Art and Sciences, said that the ICES forms should be only one of the many tools used in the teacher evaluation. Nevertheless, he said it is a very important tool which should not be treated lightly. He said that students should take the ICES form seriously because it will be used in the evaluation process. According to Rodechko, they are used primarily by instuctors for improvement purposes. As mentioned by Natske, Rodecko said the forms are also used by the vicepresident, deans and department chairmen. As stated by Vicepresident Walder, Rodechko said that those instructors who score low should try to find out why and see if they can correct any faults which are bought out by the survey. Dr. Stephen Tillman, professor of Mathematics and Computer Science, said about ICES: "They are not only not useful, but detremental to good teaching · -especially if administration uses it for who gets a raise and who doesn't get a raise." Tillman sees a conflict of interest. He says that to teach students in a way which is advantageous to them, he must challenge them to their limits. According to Tillman, this may mean that students will not do as well as expected on tests. He said he found a high correlation between instructors who did well on tlie ICES forms and the higher grades of tests given in class. He also found the reverse was true. Therefore, he thinks that these forms should not be used when determining salary. Dr. Brian Redmond, associate dean of the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences, also said the ICES forms play an important part in the evaluation process. "They are one factor among many upon which a faculty member should be evaluated. If it becomes the only factor, then it is an inappropriate use of ICES." Dr. Theodore Engel, dean of the School of Business and Economics, said the ICES forms are basically used in two ways. The most effective way of using the form, according to Engel, is the "summative" approach which indicates how an instructor ·conducted classes, what exams were like, honoring the course syllabus, and other factors by looking at the results of ICES forms over the course of time (years). He said the results should be used to · see where an instructor might be helped, not punished. He said chairmens' evaluations, self evaluations, i;Cl!r evaluations, and student evaiuations should be used together for an overall teacher evaluation. Engel said that by using them in a summative approach (over time) that the forms in combination with other material, are useful tools. He said that he only sees the use of such forms as a problem when they are misused like when "you try to draw conclusions from one set." �PAGE SIX ans veil Let's go to Butte by Lee Morrell Yes folks, it's that time again. No it's not pre-registration, registration, or even just finding out who the advisor for your major is. That's right, I'm talking about that wonderful time known as the "Holiday Season!" It doesn't just encompass preparing yourself to do : ' · battle with the rest of your six thousand relatives who crawl out of the woodwork for free turkey. It's not bracing yourself for the Christmas album offers that started before Halloween. It's not even making enough money to blow it on gifts for those very same six thousand relatives. What I'm talking about is that ever present question, "What can I do over Thanksgiving Break?" I guess it's a good enough question to ask. Most of your average students will go home or, as in the commuter's case, stay home and work. Yuck! Most of the people who I spoke to said that that is what they expect to be doing. ''I'm going to work in a Deli," said Michele Broton, a sophomore from Sugarloaf, PA, who is majoring in communications Gournalism concentration) and minoring in theater. ''I'm staying here (at Wilkes), working at Kids 'R' Us, and typing Grad school applications," remarked Elizabeth Mazzullo, a senior English major hailing from Williamsport. "I'm going home to resume my summer job-- working with the mentally handicapped," said senior English major, Kimberly Supper, who hails from Lake Carmel, NY. I guess not everyone is going to be attempting to earn funds for their college career, or whatever else they may choose to use it for, as evidenced by speaking to Andrew Morrell, a "senior-to-be" communications major from Kingston (also my brother, but that's irrelevent). "I'm going to . . . uhh . . . clean my room, . . . err . . . listen to music, . . . clean my room and listen to music!" Well as the title indicates, I'm going to attempt to give you some dandy ideas for what you can do during the not-quite-as-long..asChristrnas-but- still-almost-a-weeklong Thanksgiving break. Let's see now, what to suggest first. .. I know, you can travel. If you are a local student or staying for the holidays, you can take the historical tour of Wilkes-Barre and its surrounding area by following the helpful history of the Commonwealth signs. You could also drive to such surroundmg area meccas as Luzerne, Edwardsville, etc., and take in the breathtaking scenery. Of course, no travel itinerary would be complete without the customary tour of fine restaurants and places of enter• tainment, such as Top Dog--which is both. Or, y_ou could go to the Don & Ed: Out on LAX (the Los Angeles International Airport) of the east, the Scranton /Wilkes-Barre International Airport and just watch the planes coming in from Asia or Europe--via Philadelphia, Pittsbur_gh, Newark, LaGuardia, Kennedy and other REAL airports. I'm sure you could do these similar things at your own home. Traveling isn't the only fun thing to do during these short breaks. You could always get yourself involved with all sorts of various mischief. You could steal a car, rob a bank, kill a man (or woman to soothe the feminist), or set a fire. All 'of which will keep You could always photo copy the library, I did! you from returning to five to twenty years mi break ends. (I'm ki dDn't listen to me!)

Help me! I've gone too far! Well, I guess I should have known better. In our last column I reminisced with you about cartoons and I've been a mess ever since. I can't sleep! I can't eat! I can't concentrate on trivial things, like Stat class! I even woke up on Saturday morning and watched the test patterns for a half an hour just to see those animated aggrevators! All week long visions of "George of the Jungle" and "Ricochet Rabbit" danced through my head. So, once and for all, I will expell, in print, all of these retained ponderances of cartoons and then move on to bigger and ... well bigger things. To start, this one has bothered me for a long time. In those Walt Disney cartoons we have Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and the others. But, just what the heck is Goofy? WHAT IS HE? Is he a horse? Is he a dog? Now if he is a dog, Pluto should be pretty ticked. Why doesn't Pluto ever get a speaking part? He doesn't even get to wear clothes! But if Goofy isn't a dog, what is he? I guess some things are better left unknown. The Smurfs-- Now just how many of them are there? Let's see, there's Papa Smurf, Hefty Smurf, Brainy Smurf, Lazy Smurf, Jokey Smurf, etc ... , but what about the ones that we don't see on the show? Wouldn't it be interesting to see, oh, I don't know, someone like Pyromaniac Smurf,.or Bladder Control Problem Smurf, or maybe an Albino Smurf. Show the kids some realism. And something else about the show that I've noticed; of all of those hundreds of Smurfs there is only ~ girl! Either she must have some incredible stamina or it is one sticky scene in the Smurf shower room. Sqiddily Diddily-- And just what is .ill<? Is he an octopus? He only has four tentacles. Is he a squid? His head ain't pointy. And just how does he walk around on land all day without dying or shrivelling up? Droopy Dog-- I was always amazed at how fast he could run. I mean, he'd be standing in one place and then all of a sudden he would run real far away over a mountain or something and then come back; and all in the span of like one second. Impressive! Scooby Doo-- Now, Scooby and Shaggy are either very desperate or very dumb. They'll go into some old, run down house full of bats and rats and spiders; go into this dust filled kitchen, find a piece of food AND EAT IT! He-Man-- The people on HeMan must all work out together or be on the same diet, or something. Everyone of those guys has the same physique! If their skin color didn't differ you wouldn't know one from the other. And just what did happen to Skeletor that he is all big and muscular but has no facial tissue? And now the time has come.

For those who came expecting a traditional Shakespeare tragedy or comedy, they were treated to "a smattering of this and a few notes of that." "What You Will" was an interesting play in that it informed while it entertained. The play began with a huge company number to welcome the audience and proceeded to a well acted and highly comic version of The Most Lamentable Comedy and Most Cruel Death 'of Pyramus and Thisby, then it quickly moved on to a scene that posed such questions, upon the life of Will Shakespeare as "When was he born?", "How did he go to the bathroom?", and, the biggie, "Was he gay?" ~e play ~en_ 1?<>k a sh~ left tum mto the Tw1hght ,Zone and ~e met the Bard,_ Shakespeare, on his own turf. I~ this scene, a few myths were dispelled and a few , more were created. The audience was treated to well acted, comic renderings of such classics as Othello, MacBeth, The Taming of the Shrew, and a ten minute version of 1/amlet ("with an encore!") The accompanying slide show was an added treat; not something one would expect to see at the theatre. The pictures were timed and placed to accompany the action on stage and they were very effective (and almost eerie) in certain scenes, such as the intense scene between Claudio and his sister, Isabella, in Measure for Measure .. The band that accompanied the show was very talented and certainly added much to the per-formance. The play was a blend of the old and new, using scenes from Shakespeare and from plays based upon the Bard's, such as West Side Story, "Kiss Me Kate" and "Hair". What You Will was definitely one of the more memorable performances put on here at Wilkes in recent days. It was thoroughly enjoyable and certainly a 'new" way to spend a Friday or Saturday night here at Wilkes! For quite a few folks, the name "Will Shakespeare" will no longer strike fear in their hearts and minds as they contemplate yet another literature class or term project but, instead, will bring Above is Bill Barber with a bunch of unidentified William Shakespeares caught during a final dress rehearsal for the Wilkes production of "What You Will." a smile to their faces and a chuckle to their lips as they as they reach for the Riverside Shakespeare textbook. by Bullstradamos "the all-knowing Bovine."

I asked her what she thought of the show. "Oh, it was wonderful. Michael ONeill must be a genius. And the actors, my goodness, so much talent! John Domzalski is just brilliant! He really chews up the scenery," Veronica said. I started to fix cocktails. "Well, I suppose, if you like deviled ham ... " I offered. "No, I mean it," Veronica said. "That scene from Othello with Lisa ONeill--stunning. I got goose bumps. Rob Johansen was terrific, too. The scene with Jane Erb was wonderful. Rob sure is a versatile actor. So many different parts, and all done so well!" "Well, I suppose, if you like bald spots," I said. "Don Semyon cracked me up as Juliet," Veronica went on. "And that Chris Brunnock is just adorable. She made a very good Kate." "Well, I suppose, if you like freshmen," I grumbled. "But, oh, Brian Dorsey. What • IS over a dreamboat! He was my favorite," Veronica sighed. I poured some Beefeater gin into a small pitcher and added ice. "But what about me?" I asked. "Oh, honey, you were fine, but I didn't know Jeff Eline was such a good singer. Bob Wachowski was good too, and so were Dana Stago and Michele Mazzei. And I had no idea Andrea Kocerha could speak French." "French?!" I said. "I thought that was Serbo-Croatian." "And Romeo, what was his name? Robert Michaels? What a hunk! Did you know his eyes are the exact same color as his hair? Truly gorgeous, really," she breathed. "Sure, after three hours in the make-up room, who wouldn't be?" I mumbled. Veronica took a deep breath and sighed. "But all in all, I still think my favorite was Brian Dorsey. What a doll!" I put a drop or two of dry vermouth into the gin and stirred it gently with a glass swizzle. "But what about me?" I asked again. "Did you like Me?!" "O, honey, you were fine. The whole show was great, really. The band sounded terrific. That. Dixieland they played at the beginning of Act Two, I really liked that. Mike Williams is really good on the tmmpet. 0, every-• thing was. really well done. I If I were a Wilkes Trustee! thought the show was quite professional, technically speaking." "Are you kidding?!" I demanded. "They blew my light cue! Twice!" I was practically shouting. "I have to hand it to the prop and stage managers, Michele Palmieri and Maureen O'Hara," Veronica said. "They really must have had their hand:, full." "Well, yeah. One does have to remember to thank all the little people, too." I said. "But I don't know," Veronica said, "I just have to say that Brian Dorsey was really superb." I set out two chilled glasses, put an olive in each, and strained the martinis in over the olives. Like two big green eyes they seemed to stare at ·me, daring me to ask my next question. "What about my song?" I was practically begging. "Did you like my song?" "O, heney, that was lousy," Veronica said. "What!?" I demanded. "My song was lousy?!" "Too slow," she said. "And chopped in half. It didn'i make any sense. Were you off key?" she asked, blinking her big blue eyes at me. I drank my martini in silence. • And when Veronica started to tell me what a good dancer she thought Brian Dorsey was, I drank her's, too. I don't know why everyone gets down on the Bell Tower. I thinks it's a good idea, plus it looks great. I know that the norm of our school would rather see the money for the Bell Tower go towards something ·else like dorm renovation, that new gym we are supposed to get before the Apocalypse, or other less important Boondoggles like that. Yet, what everyone does not know is that the money for our Bell Tower does not come from our tuition, but from a private group of donors, and this is the reason for our College building us this monument. These donors want a bell tower, and if they pay for it, well, why not? I thought about this for a while and I came to the conclusion that if I ever became very rich, and had a few million to throw around, I could have a lot of fun with this College. I would invest money in my alma mater, and buy many nice little buildings, dorms, and equipment: You name it, spare no expense. I would turn this place into one of the nicest schools in the country. Yet, my show of wealth, and donation would come with only a few little demands. First, I would like to change the name of our library. Well, not really change it, just spice it up a little.

The blame, if that is what you call it, goes to The Beacon sports department; more specifically Beacon Sports Editors, Lisa "Niblet" Miller and Bill "Willy" Kem. They have been working their little tushies off. The Beacon is very proud of the job they are doing. So, due to there diligence, there never seems to be enough room for "Trivia '87." Well, as you can surely tell, a hole opened up, and I emerged carrying ball! So much has happened since we last spoke, so I'll try to hit the high points of the athletic year. In professional football we had a strike, replacement games, scabs, returning players, and surprises. "What surprises," you ask. Let's see, The Colts, The Chargers, The Oilers, The Saints, The Raiders, Buddy Ryan, and Eric Dickerson. In college football Syracuse, Notre Dame, Florida State, and upset minded Pitt are the unexpected big winners. Oklahoma, Miami, and Nebraska are the predictable big winners, while 1986 National Champs Penn State had a disappointing season. Look for Notre Dame's Tim Brown or Pitt's Craig "Ironhead" Heyward to take the Reisman. In baseball the "afraid to leave home" Minnesota Twins took the series by winning all four at home, something never before done in series play. Post-season awards are as follows: NL manager of the year--Buck Rogers, Montreal; AL manger of the year--Sparky Anderson, Detroit; NL Cy Young--Steve "Bedrock" Bedrosian, Philadelphia; AL Cy Young--Roger Clemens, Boston (2nd straight); NL Rookie of the year--Benito Santiago, San Diego; AL Rookie of the year--Mark McGwire, Oakland; AL MVP George Bell, Toronto (the first Dominican and First member of a Canadian team to win the honors); and no NL MVP as of yet. My guess, Andre Dawson, Chicago. Also, the professional hockey and basketball seasons opened last week. The Lakers are defending their title well by jumping out to an undefeated start. NHL champs, the Edmonton Oilers, with points leader Wayne Gretzkey, are also off to a strong start. One hockey controversey has popped up. Dave Brown, a Flyers defenseman, got a measely 15 game suspension for attempting to break the jaw of Ranger, Tomas Sandstrom. Ranger coach Michel Bergeron, stated that a normal criminal on the street would get ten years in jail for that crime. Oh well, sports is sports, right? On to the business at hand, on to TRIVIA. Let's do it! The college football season is winding down, Pitt beat Penn State, bowl bids are coming out, Nebraska faces Oklahoma, and Ohio State fired their coach.

So far Coach Reese is very pleased with the team ."The kids have great attitudes and good work habits." A big question for the Colonels will be how the team will react to weight class adjustments. Starting at 118 will be junior Brian Bauer. Last year Bauer compiled a 17-2 record and should 134. "Miller is probably one of the smartest wrestlers on the team, and we look for good things from him," said Reese. Backing up Miller will be Gavin McGinty. Junior Frank Castano will start at 142. "Frank has a lot of talent and we feel he could have a real good year for us," stated Reese. Due to an mJury to Frank Goldowski, Coach Reese will have to shuffle his middle weights around till Goldowski's return. Wrestling at 150 will be sophmore Tony Diaz or freshman Shawn Galbreath. Last year Joe Iannuzzi returned to wrestling after a year layoff and compiled a 15-6 record. "I really expect a good year out of Joe. He's a hard worker with a lot of potential," said Reese. Coach Reese will use be one of the best 118-pounders in the east. Backing up Bauer will be Kurt Tamai. All-American Dennis Mejias will start at 126. Mejias last season had a 23-8-2 record and will have added pressure, being the fifth ranked wrestler in the country. Mejias will be being pushed by promising freshman Dave Bonomo.

As in all big games special team play can tum a team around. Saturday's game was no different. Lycoming's Frank Gerardi returned a Harold Magnotta punt 78 yards for the first score of the game. In the second quarter the Colonels got their offense in gear. Behind the passing of Carl DeLuca the Colonels moved the ball to the Lycoming seventeen-yard line. The Warriors got tough, but Sean Megley was able to kick a twentyseven-yard field goal to close the Lycoming lead to 7-3. The Wilkes defense held the Warriors and gave the offense the ball in good field pos1t1on. DeLuca wasted no time as he hit a wide open P.J. Salazzo for a twentytwo-yard strike. Megley's PAT was good and the Colonels had a 10-7 lead. The second half was dominated by both defenses. Lycoming was able to muster the only score of the second half. On a fourth and one situation the Warriors called a bootleg, it worked as the Warriors had a first and goal at the Wilkes one-yard line.

Brciscth said, "We won't break ground until March because we plan to use it for sports." Paul O'Hop, Vice-President of Business Affairs/Auxiliary Enterprises, said scoreboards, bleachers and equipment will be taken out prior to demolition. Actual demolition on the new gym will probably begin at the end of February or beginning of March according to Charles. Plans for the Sports and Conference Center are currently being discussed. John Pesta, Auxiliary affairs administrator and Assistant Director od Facilities Management and Purchasing, said the basement of the new center will contain weight training rooms, locker rooms, lavs, a laundry room, two multi-purpose rooms, (one which may be used for hockey) and wrestling room. A room is also being constructed which may later serve as a sauna. The huge feature on the first floor will be a large gym floor. Initially, bleachers from the present gym which have a seating capacity of about 1,400 will be used, but space will be left for additional bleachers according to Pesta. He said coaches offices, a large lobby with sky lights, kitchen space, and storage room space (a feature which seems to have been Continued •On p. 4 Construction work on "The Burns Alumni Tower and Carillon" is nearly completed. Last week, workers from the Sordoni Construction Services Inc. placed a tree on top of the construction site located in the quadrangle bounded by Kirby, Chase and Church Halls to celebrate "topping it off." The brick and mortar outer stucture of the 61 foot tall bell tower is finished except for the copper roofing, according to Richard Charles, vice-president of college advancement. The construction which began in late September was due to be completed around the time of the dedication ceremony during Homecoming week. According to John Chawlck, special assistant of college advancement, the carillon and bells will be shipped and delivered to the College on December 18th. According to Sordoni construction workers, Chawlck said, the tower and carillon should be completed around the Christmas vacation. Chawlck and other administrative members believe the belltower will serve as a central landmark of the . college as well as an intellectual symbol.

To the Advertising Manager: I've had enough chlorthalidone and isosorbide dinatrate. For the past 7 weeks or so, I've been enduring a 3/4 page ad (usually on page 10) for drugs (Go ahead and turn; it's probably there). Is this the kind of ad that should be run in a college newspaper? Now, I'm just like the next guy. I don't mind worthwhile ads in the paper. Last year, I endured a full page cassette ad for many weeks. That was OK 'cause students could relate to it. But this ad is not right at all. 41 types of drugs . . . for college students? I don't see the logic. Maybe if this were a senior citizen paper, or a paper for a community in which the standard of health was not so great .. . But on a college campus?? Are you nuts? (If so, you can get valium for 21, 32, or 52 cents per tablet). The decision to run this ad was for money. I understand that advertising money runs newspapers. But next time, think of students when ~·ou run an ad. Analyze your audience. The Beacon is for students FIRST. Just fiv<; minutcs of sensible planning can make both advertising money and happy Imagine the scene . . . The Beacon , Wilkes College's favorite publication, being ripped from its familiar distribution sites, being flung into garbage cans across the campus, being wasted, students being deprived of the weekly news, the feature stories, being denied their pipeline to the College. Sound like some kind of sick nightmare? Sounds like a nightmare, but this scene could very well become a reality. In fact, something very much like this scene became a reality at King's College, our counterpart right down the street. On Novemeber 14, most of the copies of the King's College paper, The Crown , were removed from their distribution points. No, this removal was not due to the many fans of the publication greedily tearing it from the newsstands. The copies were removed because within the paper was an ad for Planned Parenthood, an agency that provides birth control services. The removal of the papers from the distribution points occurred on "College For a Day," an annual King's College event that gives prospective King's students and their parents a chance visit -and learn about the school. Now you may think, no big deal; the school did what it had to do to protect its image. King's is a Catholic school; it wouldn't look right to have an ad for birth control in its paper. No big deal, right? Wrong. It is a big deal. Regardless of the reasons for the removal of the paper, the removal was a form of censorship. And after this incident occurred, an advertising policy was drafted by The Crown staff prohibiting ads for abortion referrals and contraceptive products. Still, the question must be asked--why was the ad run in the first >----~-~-----place? Obviously, the staff of The Crown must have discussed the appropriateness of the ad before actually printing it. Obviously, the staff of The Crown is well aware of the views of the Catholic Church. However, they had made a sort of unofficial policy by running the ad in the first place. Now, all of a sudden there appears a policy, originating from The Crown staff, that prohibits these type of ads. The ads, King's College maintains, could hurt the image of the school. The damage from the ad, the College says, outweighs the benefits. But who should be the judge? The whole situation is frightening. If school officials can remove the newspaper at will, if they can violate the right to free press in light of an ad, what is going to stop them from doing it on any other occasion, for any other reason? Certainly, censorship could not be an by M. E. Evers (with official policy--at least not a policy that any college would openly admit apologies to Charles Dickens) to. However, although it is not a policy, this cannot prevent colleges from exerc1smg this kind of subtle strong-arm tactic.

PAGE THREE Carol Dippre: the port • ID the storm releases to the Information Center should be limited to 25 words, and include a contact name and telephone number. Making Campus Information an easily accessible and approachable source of knowledge is Dippre's job, and the students, faculty, and administration of Wilkes all can play a role in defining just who Dippre is, does, and can be for them. The Information Desk is what the people here make it, and those who are involved with Wilkes agree that a college community such as our own should be centered around some common, friendly point. Having a perso11 who can span the distances between departments, buildings, and happenings is a pos1uve step toward College cohesiveness. By helping to make Dippre's job a significant part of campus life, the people at Wilkes are helping themselves. Ebeneezer grabs his coat and hat and runs out of Weckesser whistling Christmas carols. · His secretaries look at each other, confused. "Wonder what got into him?" one says. "Don't question it Let's just go home. I'm just glad to get the time off. It looks like this will be a merry Christmas after all." From that day forward, Wilkes never again had school on December 23--or the 24, either. And it was said from then on, over punch and cookies at the faculty Christmas parties, that Ebeneezer Breiseth was a man who knew how to keep Christmas--and keep it well. Peace on Earth, Goodwill toward men! �PAGE FOUR- December 10, 1987 WHEAT: semester achievements WHEAT (Wilkes Hunger Education and Action Taskforce) formed this year as a student organization devoted to increasing campus awareness about domestic and world hunger. Spearheaded by Tony Vento, campus minister, the group set several goals for the semester to involve interested students in action and awareness processes toward fighting world hunger. The Hunger Banquet was a symbolic luncheon that allowed participants to experience the proportional division of wealth in the world, as well as the relative types of food eaten by each division.

Land of the free by Lenny Skursky A major item in these past fi _u.s .the Cuban ~ - u,6 ~ problem. -Americans were - alarmed when they discovered that thousands of refugees were being held in detention centers, and some were to be sent back to the oppressive system they escaped from. Even though they burnt buildings and held hostages, these poor refugees recieved the sympathy of most Americans. The question is: Why? For an answer I looked to history. Before 1962, Cuba was controlled by a violent dictator; a man who ruled with an iron glove. His regime consisted of elaborate palaces for the rich, elegant hotels and casinos for the tourists and the worst of all possible conditions for the poor. In 1962, Cuba had a revolution, and the regime of Batiste was overthrown. Within 24 hours of the revolt, most of the generals, police chiefs, and other corrupt officials who maintained this evil system, were on planes or boats fleeing for their miserable lives. As is the norm following any revolution, America accepts all the refugees. And, as in this case, questions not their crimes against humanity. Soon after these robber barons came, the uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, cousins, and friends of the first escapee. The only crime of this second group was to look away from the atrocities the first group committed. Then Castro announced that Cuba was now communist. Now the boats were full of the rest of the middle class. But all the refugees were now called "the lucky few who escaped the terrors of communism." Over the years, more and more Cubans found their way to America.

The week was highlighted by an event billed as "A Drink with the Deans." For two hours, students could mingle with administration while sipping nonalcoholic "mixed" drinks.

ID The new logo The new Wilkes logo came about with a recognized need for a visible symbol representing the college. According to Jane Manganella, director of public relations, the logo and signs will make identification of campus structures much easier. Eventually, all major buildings on campus will have signs. Previous to the creation of the logo, there were no clear signs to inform visitors and the general public of the college's buildings. A question concerning the status of the traditional college seal arose from several college factions. "The [college] seal is entirely different and . . . will be used where appropriate," said Manganella. The new "W" was designed by a Philadelphia firm, Signtactics, and adopted by the Presidential · Cabinet for use on campus. The logo also replaced the Colonel on folders, keychains, and other traditional trinkets and paraphenalia New regional alcohol program to benefit community The college announced the creation of a Drug and Alcohol Abuse Education Center on campus to serve the region.

College-owned vending machines replaced all of the contracted machines formerly found on campus this year. This move provided an increased profit from sales in the machines by eliminating a "middleman" as well as increased control of this profit by the Business Office. As in the past, profits will go mostly to student activity groups. Overall, profits should outweigh the costs of the replacement. This event has not been without its share of controversy, however. The question of whether or not condoms and cigarettes should be sold in the machines raised considerable dust With the spread of AIDS, the use of protection against sexually transmitted disease is a growing concern. Condoms are now available for pwchase in the college booksto~ and are available free of charge m the Health Services Office. A committe.e was formed to determine what items would be sold in the vending machines; eventually it recommended to the President's cabinet that condoms be sold in separate machines placed "discreetly" in every residence hall. The cab~net approved this recommendation. According to Paul O'Hop, vicepresident of business affairs, 19 dispensers have been ordered and will be installed over the Christmas break. Each machine will hold 120 condoms for discreet pwchase. The committe.e also agreed unanimously to discontinue sales of cigarettes_in the machines. Peace pole erected in Stark courtyard "May Peace Prevail On Earth" proclaims the peace pole erected in the courtyard of Stark Leaming Center. The pole was the gift of visiting Japanese actress, Chik:ae Ishikawa. While visiting WilkesBarre this summer, she decided to extend the message of peace to the college community by providing a visual message. The quotation is inscribed on the pole in four languages: English, Polish, Hebrew and Arabic. Polish was chosen because of the large local population of this heritage, and the latter two due to the need for peace in the Middle East New logo: Homecoming weekend: bonfire, dorm displays, king and queen Homecoming Weekend began Thursday (10-27) night with the spirited bonfire. The Wilkes cheerleadets and Colonel led the crowd in cheers as the fire raged. The newly elected football tri-captains tossed an effigy of the opposition into the towering flames. Student Government ~sident John Rosania read the names of the nominees for the 1987 Homecoming Court as the crowd roared wildly. President Christopher Breiseth then read the names of the eight finalists. These were: Matt Ryan, Mike Zobel, Brian Dorsey, Ed Gallagher, Kristen Kolensky, Leah Kulikowski, Sue Novobilski, and Michele Novobilski. After this, George Ralston, dean of student affairs emeritus, led the cheerleaders and finalists in the traditional "Go Wilkes!" cheer. Friday afternoon, club and , dorm displays were judged on such things as originality and ~tsmanship. The best overall display was McClintock Hall with its "Lebanon Valley Cemetery" display. Dorm members worked "under pressure" to make banners, hang bats from tree branches, and make a dummy of the dead Lebanon Valley quarterback. Cue 'N Curtain garnered the award for best club display. Their display was twofold . First, there was a bell tower facsimile with a sign proclaiming "The Cue 'n Curtain Ringing the Way to Victory." Second, a huge silver shovel was half-buried in the ground and read: "We're Burying the Opponents." The best dorm display was won by Waller South. The theme was "The Dedication" and consisted of a ship entitled the S.S. Waller, a sign saying "We dedicate this ship for the Wailers," as well as a champagne bottle and glass, balloons and streamers: Saturday afternoon was the big Homecoming football game against Lebanon Valley. The Colonels dusted the Dutchmen in a 41-20 victory. Unfurling banners along the fence around the field revealed the enthusiasm of a charged crowd. The electricity soared at halftime . when Breiseth announced the names of the King and Queen: . ~d Gallagher and Michele Novobilski.

The combination of her songs and her voice made her show most enjoyable. As I've heard so often, "The broad can (could) sing!" Musicians and lecturers weren't the only people brought to Wilkes.

The story is told through the eyes of a young boy. The preview clips look extremely lavish for this film. It's first on my list! #2 street (Dec. 11)A multimillionaire corporate raider (Michael Douglas) is pitted against an aspiring young trader (Charlie Sheen). It's directed by Oliver Stone (Platoon). This film should be interesting at the time of the "Crash of '87." Daryl Hannah also stars. #3 Eddie MUIJ)hy, Raw (Dec. 18)A concert movie promoting his current "Raw" tour. I saw Murphy live in October at wan Maryland. The material should be basically the same--hilarious! #4 Batteries Not Included (Dec. 18)A Spielberg Chritmas comedy about little living machines from space. They come to earth to save tenement inhabitants from getting the boot out of their homes: Good · idea! Should pack lots of laughs. #5 Leonard--PartIV (Dec. 18)He's as much fun as Eddie Murphy, and now he has a new comedy/suspense film coming out. Bill Cosby plays the art of a restauranteur who comes out of retirement to fight a plot that would rid the world of all animals. Good luck Bill! #6 Throw Momma from the Train (Dec. 18)Danny Devito's mother is a menace, and he wants Billy Crystal to do her in. I LOVE IT! That says enough.

His record now stands at an incredible 403-103-8 for his 35-year coaching at Wilkes. No other coach in the country has as long a tenure at one school as Coach Reese has at Wilkes. "I think in order to accomplish goals like that you have to stay with something for a long period of time," Coach Reese said on his 400th win. "Winning 400 is something not many people do so I feel proud in doing it." Coach Reese began coaching at Wilkes in 1953. In his first season, only seven wrestlers came out.

January is Freedom of the College Student Press month. A simple statement, but a statement that now more than ever takes on increased importance. On January 13, the Supreme Court ruled 53 in favor of a decision that gives public school officials the power to censor "school newspapers, plays, and other school-sponsored expressive activities." It would seem this is a contradiction in terms. How can expressive activities be truly expressive when expression is being curbed? Although ostensibly this ruling has nothing directly to do with Wilkes College or private institutions in general, the reverberations from this decision could serve to shake the foundations of even private and public colleges and universities and their publications. Although this ruling does not directly apply to the running of college publications, the resulting effects can set a dangerous precedent: people "in charge" wielding supreme power over a very fragile freedom of the press. This precedent, whether it be set in high schools, in colleges, or in kinderga_rtens, is astounding. The Supreme Court's rationale for its ruling stated that in activities that are "part of the school curriculum and might seem to carry its imprimatur, officials may bar dissemination of student statements about drugs, sexual activity, pregnancy, birth control, contested political issues and other matters when doing so would serve any valid educational purpose [my italics]." The broadness of this statement, especially, of the closing line, sets up student publications and public school students in general for extreme censorship. Essentially, whoever is in charge has not only the ability, but the right, to take away the constitutional rights of another merely because they are in a school situation. Consider for a moment that if these student statements were made outside of the public school atmosphere, there would be no doubt about the violation of rights. What this kind of selective censorship amounts to is thought control--a stifling of expression. This can result in irreparable damage to the learning process and maturing process in general, the same process that formal education is supposed to guide. Ideally, high school is supposed to prepare students to enter into the working world or into the academically rich life of a college campus. Censorship of a publication by a principal deprives the student body of these essential growth experiences. The students are being stifled because they are not being given the opportunity to express valid opinions about subjects that they feel are important to them. Whether this opportunity is being stifled , because of the students' inexperience, or for the benefit of the school's image, or just because the subject matter is delicate, is immaterial. School newspapers should be intended as forums for people to come together, get the unbiased news, use that news and form their own opinions. A newspaper is not intended to be a voice for administrative propaganda or an image building device. How can students be expected to learn and think outside of the school situation ii their rights are denied them in school? Expression of thoughts is vital to maturation, vital to the formation of an intellectual identity. Censorship not only denies the student of his rights, but also of a major cornerstone in his intellectual growth. Granted, there are some cases where perhaps it is necesssary to edit student publications. In the cases of obscenity and libel, it would be logical for schools to discuss the removal of articles with the student editors. The line between editing and censorship is a fine one, however, and one that by any means should not be crossed. The right to free speech is not one that young . people should have to fight for, and it should not become a right that is available only to those who are in control. Free speech is, and should remain, just that--free. 1988 College Calendar Spring Semester !'988 (70 Days) Wednesday, February 17, 1988 10 p.m. Monday, February 22, 1988 8:00 a.m. Friday, March 25, 1988 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, April 5, 1988 8:00 a.m. Friday, May 6, 1988 5:00 p.m. Monday, May 9, 1988 8:30 a.m. Saturday, May 14, 1988 4:30p.m. Sunday, May 22, 1988 11 :00 a.m. Wiriter Break Classes Resume Easter Break Classes Resume Classes End Final Exams Begin Final Exams End Commencement A pawn in their 2ame No more hump day: Wednesday is gone! by ME.Evers "Wednesday is Sundae at Carvel." Anybody remember that old commercial jingle? Well, it's back again--direct from the College that brought us the belltower that serenades a Pennsylvania campus with "Carolina Moon." . . . back in a slightly altezed form, that is. You see, last Wednesday was a very special day at Wilkes College. No, no one gave out swldaes, buyone-get-one-free. They didn't even give out ice-cream sandwiches. Yes, W edriesday was Monday at Wilkes. Doesn't sound like a big deal, really; the most that could have happened because of the College's little calendar-switch was that some uninformed students might have missed one or two day classes and a night class. No big deal there, since insuring that students get to their classes on time isn't really all that vital. · But there are staggering implications in Wilkes' casual calendar switch. After all, what does Monday mean to you? What images are conjured up by that innocent sixletter word? Blue Monday. Washday Monday. "Monday, Monday." (All right, so maybe we can leave the Mamas and the Papas out of this.) First day of the workweek Monday. Have to get up early after the weekend's excesses Monday. Now think about the implications of making Wednesday Monday. Since it was Monday, people who would normally have been in very good moods would have been obligated to be cranky and surly-Monday morning moods. Also, Monday is traditionally washday. Just- think of all those people who HAD to do their h1undrylastWeclnesdayjustbecause it was Monday--even though they didn't have any dirty clothes.

The long range goals of. the system include having the RA's put on the line and, eventually, budget allowing, arrange it so that all the students would have access to the main campus computer through the phones in their dorm. Mr. Berg said that while this is their goal, it will take a long time due to cost. While it is still far too early to gauge the campus response to the phones, it appears that feelings about their installation are divided. From the responses Berg has recieved, there are many who are strongly opposed to the new system, while there are also many who are totally in favor of it. Until the campus has had time to become acclimated to the new system, Berg feels it is unfair to judge it, favorably or unfavorably. told his parents, Dr. Cummings A. and Trudy Downs Piatt, how happy he was here and how much he liked the guys in his hall and how much those guys meant to him.

The fence that has blocked the sidewalk all these weeks has disappeared, and the arches (or trellises) are now completed. The opinion I have come in contact with lately has, for the most part, been a negative one. In the eyes of students I have talked to, the belltower is an unnecessary , phallic symbol which gets in the way and can even be an eyesore. The belltower is an expensive addition to our campus, and ~ we do have many other uses for the money, but I think that the bell tower is actually a positive addition to Wilkes College. Although the belltower may not blend well with Chase and Kirby Halls, it is a great tool to help students find out just how late they are when going to class. In fact; my first reaction to it reminded me of Sesame Street when the gang sings "Which one of these is not like the other? Which one of these doesn't belong?" But soon I began to think about what the belltower represents. Wilkes College needs a center of activities, · and according to Vice President Charles, this idea had been under consideration since the 50's. On Tuesday, January 26, V. P. Charles met with some of the alumni leaders for a luncheon. The leaders are quite excited about the belltower. Thirty years ago, the students of Wilkes College anxiously collaborated to begin a tradition of togetherness on our campus. Obviously, all of us will not be satisfied with the belltower. But, is it really such a bad thing? Today, as I passed by the belltower, it rang. The bells sounded really pleasant, and actually I was surprised. I'm far from scolding anyone for . disliking the belltower, because we are all entitled to our own op1ruons. I just thought I'd approach the belltower from a different angle, denying the "vogue" hatred everyone seems to carry for it. I found out some interesting facts from V. P. Charles about it. The bells are computer operated from inside Chase Hall. They can ring automatically, or a keyboard console called a carillon .can be played by a musician. The mus1cum is known as a. carolincur. Charles also told me the tones sound from the structure every 15 minutes. The bells are known as Westminister Chimes. Each time the bells ring, they are heard for longer periods of time. When the clock strikes the hour, the bells ring the longest. Another special feature of the belltower is the fact that it can play different songs. A musical set can be heard from the tower at 9:00 am, noon, and 6:00 pm. According to Charles, the music plays at 9:00 a.m. so that the day gets off to a positive start,' and during meal times they ring because that is the time when most of the students are passing beneath the structure. The schedule on Sundays is slightly different The music plays at noon and 6:00 pm'. I can hear you laughing at what I am saying, but music can make Wilkes-Barre come alive. I feel that complaining only makes things worse. In fact, many local people really enjoy the belltower, and are pleased that something so beneficial has been added to Wilkes College. , It seems that the arches that 'we walk beneath on the way to dass are unnecessary. But V. P. Charles told me that they -provide kind of a division between the belltower and the yard surrounding it. Hopefully in a few -years a vine may begin to grow along the arches, and the belltower may begin to blend in with the rest of the school atmosphere. If the arches seem awkward to you, , try to picture the belltower without them. (It may collapse on top of_ l'.Qll , so be glad the arches exist.) The belltower looks as if it is just about completed, but the hands and numbers have to be added to the face of the clock. Also, the surrounding landscape has to be altered.

Tutors can set their own schedule and are paid an hourly rate of January 28, 1988 belltower sticks out now, perhaps the landscaping will help camouflage the modern brick structure. My opinion is obvious. I support the belltower because of .what it rem:esents. I'm the first ito admit that it doesn't really fit !in with our Victorian campus, but it means a lot to some people (Dr. Burns and a lot of the Alumni), so why can't we do o~ best to appteciate the gift? Jhinking about the belltower reminds me of this past Christmas: That morning I opened a gift from my grandmother. It was a sweater, · a green sweater, and to be honest I really hated it at first. I hated it mostly because I don't look good in green. She was beaming as she watched me open the gift. Have you ever been in that · position? What could I possibly say? I smiled and thanked her for it. Well, I tried the sweater on. I even began to like it. The · belltower reminds me of my green sweater. It was -a gift, and it was given in appreciation and love. Is it right to sit back and criticize someone else's efforts? How would you feel if you gave someone a present and they said 4 it was the wrong color, or criticized it in some other way? We are doing exactly that by saying that the belltower is useless. It is there, and at this point there is nothing we can do about it. Let's make the best of ' it. The bells can break up a monotonous day, and soon the clock will tell us what time it is. If we think positively, the · belltower won't seem so bad after all.

I'm interested in exotic people and eccentric ideas. I want to be an audacious gypsy roaming the earth, touching as many souls as I possibly can during this lifetime. I don't like many sports, but soccer is my favorite for two reasons: playin~ it is invigorating, and watching men· play is sensuous. My favorite colors are pink and black. I am allergic to caffeine, but I adore chocolate. I love sunshine and rainstorms, and listening to Howard Jones or George Winston, while weeping and running on windy mountaintops. I love extreme emotions, oozing mud between my toes in the summertime, dark brown eyes, warm blooded creatures and people who dare to show their true souls. I can't stand "fake" people, eating murdered animals, constraints on human nature, and politics. I want to write, sketch, paint, and travel for a living. As the new feature editor, I would like to mention the Beacon, and attitudes people have towards their school paper.. The Beacon ii for Wilkes College students. Many students have the opinion that the Beacon has nothing important to say. The paper is here for ym: the student. If you have questions, suggestions, comments, or problems, it is up to you to inform the Beacon staff. We are open to new ideas and would appreciate your opinions.

Now, without further adieu, here is everyones favorite stocking stuffer, Ed, with his record review! The record of the week for this week is the soundtrack for the movie "Less Than Zero." Although the movie blew fumes, this soundtrack is rather interesting. J t consists of new original songs and old songs rerecorded by new bands. Some of these remade songs include Simon and Garfunkel's "Hazy Shade of Winter" performed by the Bangles, Kiss's "Rock and Roll All Night" redone by Poison, and Iron Butterfly's "ln a Godda da Vida" done ·here by the death-metal band Slayer, Also included are new songs by such performers as L.L. Cool J. and Oran "Juice" Jones. This blend of old and new is effective and seems to create an eerie overtone for the entire album. It's sort of like art-deco music. this record is, despite it's remakes, SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING MAJORS!

A footstompin' welcome back by Lee Morrell The first step has been taken. Personally, I was im-· pressed. I liked the idea when I first heard it and now that it has become reality, I like it even more. "What idea?" you ask. The "Saturday Night Subset," is the idea. The brainchild of Andrew Morrell and the Programming Board, it is meant to turn the SUB in to a performing showcase for talent and for it to be utilized as one. That first step I mentioned was taken last Saturday night with the first of, what hope to be, many successful shows. The performer was Jay Smar, a traditional folk artist hailing from the Jim Thorpe area. Smar, besides playing at other schools, has been featured a number of times on WVIA-FM's "Mixed Bag" program. Smar's music was a mix of original and traditional folk music. Traditional folk can be defined as the music that started it all; the music that it was all fashioned after. Therefore Smar's original music is just a twist on traditional folk. Smar's strong point was his ability to play different instruments. He played a number of songs on the fiddle, mandolin, harmonica, and of course, the guitar. He opened the show with a welcome song on the fiddle, showing that versatility. He then switched to guitar for a number of songs dealing with such subjects as local legends , such as in "The Ballad of Glenonoko"; a story about a girl he met on a Greyhound bound for Waterville, ME, called "Greyhound Glutton"; a traditional tune about a heroic horse called "Tennesee Stud"; and another somewhat local ballad Jay Smar, shown above, performed Saturday night. abo~t coalmining and tfie damage show-:- He played a o( it causes called "Paradise," by guitar and fiddle instrumentals John Prine.

After meeting with prospective students and talking about their interests, he would recomend several ways Wilkes could be of service to them in meeting their goals in life. When seeing that person a second time, Kamus would take time to invite him or her into his office to talk about what progress was being made. When I passed his office after seeing him once to ask (for my brother) about the program offered for Engineering Majors, he called me by name and asked me to sit down and tell him how my brother liked the courses offered at Penn State. Instead of giving up hope' of ever having him come to Wilkes, he gave me a brand new bulletin containing the course requirements and asked me to "have him :;onsider transferring."

The days of college demonstrations and sit-ins are over, at least here at Wilkes. Now, it takes a structure as large and offensive as the bell tower to produce even the slightest student reaction.

So we get a belltower and a swamp (which may serve to breed disease-carrymg insectae when warmer days arrive) and some dead grass and trees. In fact, the entire tower region is a scene of gross irreverence to nature. Grass has been cemented over and tom up in patches, bushes have been uprooted, and the balance of nature has been disturbed. 3. I interpret the structure and its immediate area as an icon to wealth. The concrete has extended far beyond the limits of a "respectable" walkway. The tower proper rears its slender brick form over the remains of a once peaceful "green area." The spurious "bells" annoyingly resonate their unappealing tones through the air every hour, causing everyone within several blocks to cringe for a moment. This tower is a lecherous addition to the college's grounds, usurping and twisting it into a of progress. 4.

Your: be greatly appreciated!: ~ looking for tutors • My mother called me on Sunday morning to tell me that she and my father had gotten into a car accident the night before. She went on to say that the girl that was driving had been driving drunk. Okay, so my parents are both fine (with the exception of a few bumps and bruises and a totalled car). I should count my blessings because no one was badly injured or even killed. But this accident simply re-emphasizes the feelings towards drinking and driving that I have been feeling all week. Does the drunk driver get off easier than he should? Well, we have all been in situations where your "only" ride home from a party has been drinking. You climb in the car, shrugging off the possibilty of an accident, because it always happens to someone else, and you only live 15 minutes a~ay. But drunk driving is something that needs to be taken seriously. I was curious to find out exactly what happens to people who are picked up for DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) so I called the Wilkes-Barre police department and talked to Sgt. Zigmund. He told me that when a person is picked up for the first time, he or she generally is arrested, imprisoned for 48 hours and placed on probation for one year. He/she then has to attend Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition classes in order to inform them lo a greater degree of the seriousness of drinking and driving. The following times a person is convicted of DWI, the punishments are a little more serious. They are placed in jail for thirty days for the second offense, and ninety days to a year for the third offense. They are also placed on trial. If the drunk driver is picked up more than three times, he/she has 10 do time for a minimum time period of one year. pie. I could get drunk, drive, and cause an accident that may kill that person I am after. Yes, I know this sounds highly unlikely, but I am trying to explain how ridiculous the laws are. As far as I am concerned, the drunk driver has murdered someone in cold blood. I expressed my feelings to Sgt. Zigmund about the laws and the fact that they are indirectly encouraging drinking and driving. Yes, I realize that the laws are harsh, but I feel that they could be harsher. By doing this, maybe the crime of drinking and driving will become less common. I am an idealist, and I believe that if people are told that something is harmful enough times that they will stop doing what they are doing. Sgt. Zigmund did not agree with me. He told me that "you can put a cop on every comer, but you can't stop crime." The situation is somewhat different if the drunk driver has killed one or more persons. I asked police officer Zigmund if the drunk driver was considered a murderer. He told me that it used to be considered manslaughter about 3-5 years ago, and since that time the laws have changed. They changed because the prob!ems with drinking and driving nationwide have gotten progressively worse. Sgt. Zigmund also said that, under the law, the crime of drinking and driving and killing another person is considered homicide by vehicle and DWI. In other words, there is a limit to the punishment a drunk driver can receive, and if he/she has an effective attorney, he/she can get off the hook. The minimum punishment for homicide by vehicle and DWI is three years, and the maximum punishment is ten years. This law bothers me because if I ever wanted to murder someone, I could avoid a life sentence or the electric chair. It would be sim- Also he said that you can pass all the laws in the world, but it won't change. I Yes, creating more laws won't change the world, but charging a man with homicide by vehicle and DWI doesn't really prevent him from killing someone else's best friend -- or mom and dad. Think back when you were younger, and your mom or dad punished you for coming in too late one night. Which punishment would discourage you from disobeying them the next time: a few angry words and a warning not to do it again, grounding you for the weekend, or grounding you for 4 weekends? Probably, the average teenager would learn more if they were grounded for 4 weekends. They would learn that what they did was serious, and they would ◄ try to avoid the punishment if they could. The same applies to drinking and driving... a slap on the back of the hand just doesn't bring back the life of someone who has been killed. Through this article I merely wanted to provide information about drinking and driving and the penalties that are being slapped down on the breakers of this law. I don't know when things are going to change, or if they are ever going to change, but I do know that I'm not planning on letting anyone I know drink and drive. They can be taken away so easily, even in a simple 15 minute drive home. I'm thankful my parents were untouched by the accident they were in Saturday. But in a way, I am thankful the accident happened, because it brought drinking and driving a little closer to home. An accident affects one person, and they change the way they live. The people around that person can be affected, and the process goes on and on. "It only takes a spark to get a fire going ... " .

Tony Vento, Campus minister, suggested, "Extend your love to the homeless. It's a way for people to share their joy for Valentine's Day and help the homeless." The Wilkes College Fellowship Program and St. Mary's Campus Ministry are combining efforts to provide care for the homeless in the Wilkes-Barre area. Instead of helping these people with their problems, many of us shirk our responsibilities to society and laugh at their prediciment. Student Coordinator Lynne Travaline, a sophomore Elepmentary Education and Psychology Major, said she worked on the homeless campaign last year and found it deeply gratifying. She said, "It's so good to help them out. I went to buy some things for the collection box - 20 bars of soap. I told the girl (at the register) 'It's for the homeless.' She said They smell, they really need it.' This made me realize the importance of helping out and being morally responsible for them.'' Vento said, "We're still seeking a co-sponsoring group to help staff on collection days and to help promote the campaign. Dr. Garr is also our first faculty advisor for it and we're seeking other faculty support as well." Through the VISION program, - the area's homeless recieve supplies, a place to sleep and eat, job or personal counseling, health care, clothing, and personal items. Vento said personal items are expensive and least donated. The local group responsible for helping homeless - VISION needs supplies not provided by the regular donors such as: Soap, toothbrushes, deoderant, disposable razors, shavers, tampons, baby powder, combs, brushes, nail clippers, shampoo, fresh socks, fresh tee-shirts and new underwear. According to Vento, these are the kinds of items that are often overlooked by everyday donors, but they add up to thousands and thousands of dollars. Through the "Valentine's Day drive held between Wednesday, February 10th and Tuesday February 16th, you too have a chance to help these unfortup!3_te ·individuals. ,'f' i-Students, staff, faculty and administration are asked by the Fellowship to bring items ito Stark Lobby, cafeteria and other designated buildings between 11 ~.m. and 1 p.m li5 • Ir Force to add five offic se1 by Amy Braun Many people feel our government spends entirely1 too much money on defense. I know I feel that way, because why should .fillY country possess the power to destroy the world four times over? Well fortunately for Wilkes College, there has been a new budget cut back plan called The Graham Ruddman Bill. Our country is now planning on spending icss money on defense. This new bill requires the Department of Defense to stop spending our taxes so freely . The Secretary of Defense, (originally from Scranton) suggested that the Air Force should rid itself of 2,250 officers by September of 1988. With less Air Force Officers, there will not be as many expenses, and indirectly, the defecit will become smaller. The Air Force decided to retain experienced officers and stop accessions (new officers). This has affected colleges nationwide, because some ROTC Air Force detatchments are going to need to be shut down. There are now 151 detatchments in · the United States, and 18 months fromn now there will only be 114. This affects Wilkes College, because our ROTC now has to recruit more officers to make up for the Air Force detatchments that are being shut down. Our ROTC ~ has a goal of commissioning 28 new comissionees rather than 23. Presently, 60% of ' the students involved in ROTC arc on scholarships.

The opportuniuty to join the ROTC program is available to any freshmen and sophomores presently attending Wilkes. Lt. Col. David Billings stressed the importance of the experience that the Air Force provides. Strong leaders can be produced through the ROTC program, and officers resumes are quite impressive to any employer interested in hiring.

Someone had the nerve to enter the Dean's Offices and steal private property in broad daylight. I asked Dean Lampe why someone would steal her purse. She responded, "People steal." Someone wanted the purse, although it really had nothing of ·value in it. There were personal items such as: the ownership card to her car, her liscence, credit cards, checks, $34.00 in cash, old grocery lists, and a rosary that had been given to her mother by her father. The only thing that Dean Lampe really wants returned is the rosary, because of it's sentimental value. She is hoping that the it may tum up sometime. I asked Dean Lampe how she felt about the situation. She first said that she felt angry at herself for being so stupid. She said "Here I am in the business of helping young people learn how to be more careful. Now I do something careless, and I haven't shown a very good example. " Lampe also said that she feels "strange in an amusing way" because she has absolutely no proof of who she is. She has lost all her credit cards, and she has no identification. She wants to borrow her husbands credit card to buy a new wallet, purse, and some make-up, because at least he has an identity. Dean Lampe has learned a lesson through the whole experience.

Well, 18 out of 20 teachers surveyed said that students are receiving the education needed to be a productive member of society. "Yes," said Dr. Patricia Heaman, "because they [the students] have the opportunity to make connections with the real world, all through education, internships, and publications. There are opportunities dealing with tutoring, cow· ,ters, people, and values." rvfany teachers immediately responded with the comment: What is the real world?" I didn t count on the idea of the "real world" as being such an open-ended term before I posed tr - -1uestion to the faculty members .,urveyed. I should have known better than to think that I was going to get a simple "yes or no" answer from scholars who have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of upper level thinking. Dr. Herb Guggenheim had this to say: "No. The problem is that our concept of what -education is needs to be reformulated. In ma!"y ways rigidity, inflexibility, a lockstep approach to education are inherent to the entire educational system. Students in America view themselves as survivalists who have to use their wits to thwack their way through the jungle of education. They do not stop to look at the delicate tropical plants or the exotic foliage along the way. "In college they see themselves as beginning surfers trying to stay on top of a wave until graduation. They are carried not by their own enthusiasm but by a kind of involuntary motion. They are passive participants in the educational system. If we're going to prepare students for the "real world" we [the faculty] have to cultivate parts of their minds which have heretofore not been cultivated. We have to stop .t!:fil.lling people for mid-level professions and start cultivating student's imaginations. You see, students think of education as being contained in boxes, they don't realize education is liquid and flows from vessel to vessel. We as teachers have to show this liquid, lyrical quality to our students in order to prepare them for a life which is not static and dead but a life which is full of dark purples, deep reds, emerald greens like the tropical forest I mentioned earlier with its rare fruits hanging on the vine. In my class I try to prepare my students for the 'real world' which is the world of dreams." The results show a general positive attitude on the part of the teachers who participated. Teachers are rarely asked about the way they feel about their effectiveness as teachers and their profession. Many of the teachers started their answers by explaining that they could only speak for themselves. •••••••••••••••••• ■ I ■ ■ Need to fill up some I ■ of that extra time? ■ ■ ■ ■ I I Why I I = :: not write for ■ ff? ■ the Beacon sta . ■ ■ ■ ■ Your parents would I be SO ■ ■ proud of you! : ■ ■ : : ■ ■ : C II a US t 2962 ■ a ext. ■ I and •• • • ■ •••••• ■• ■■ ■■•• �February 4, 1988 PAGE SIX Livingston Taylor: ~:::-- - - -~-· -------- - -:---- ~ \ tt • A night of great music to remember! by Lee Morrell Everytime I go to a Programming Board sponsored event, I always come out saying something like, "that was the best (fill in the blank--comedian, singer, etc . . . ) I have ever seen!" The time has come for a change. After Friday night's show, I will now say, "That was the second best . . . ·" The best will now and forever be the Livingston Taylor show. If you don't believe me, ask the 200+ other people who were there. In my days of following the Programming Board, I have seen artists asked back for encores, but never with a standing ovation--from everyone! In a word, he was fantastic. He performed in thirds, the largest of which was on the guitar; the other two were on the piano and the banjo. His show was, with the exception of 3 or 4 songs, completely original material. He covered every possible subject in his original material. He opened with a song called "Life is Good," which was followed by a humorous tune called "Jacques Cousteau," a song all about the lovable Frenchman who guards the seas. With "Cousteau," the audience really began to get into Liv's style. This was evident by the response to a song he calls "Armageddon Rag," a long excuse as to why he won't mow the lawn, "cause we'll all · be equal when the Big Bang comes again." Taylor lives outside of Boston; "It's cold, dirty, expensive and I call it home." His home was the inspiration for two of his very humorous original tunes. One is "Doggy Jail." A song about the times his dog, Diesel, ran away from home and got caught by the police. The other was a mock-hard-rock style song called "Cambridge Kind of Guy." He did this as part of his encore and even followed it with a Pete Townshend-ish leap. While all of his song,; were good, there were some I can only categorize as "nice." I realize that's not a real category but it's the only one that fits. You see, they were great songs, but a term like "ballad" doesn't always fit; they (his songs) are r.ot always beautiful. They're just plain old "I know that feeling" nice songs. Some of these were "Carolina Day," a song about his home; "City Lights," a song by Pat Alger about a girl who leaves the farm for the big city; "":':1e Dollar Bill Song," a funny love song about a message (I Love You!) written on a dollar bill that is passed to twenty or so people before the right person "accidentally" gets it and reads it; "I Got my Pajamas On," a song about the carefree world of being a child; "Always Be Heart and Soul To Me," a love song for the piano; "Goo<ltinH~ Charley's Got the Blues," a Danny O'Keefe song about everyone leaving town, but him; and "It's My Job," the song he closed the show with. He also did some funny songs that received a good response. These subjects ranged from country music, "I Hate Country Music," to hippies, "The Last Hippies in the World." He also did a hilarious duel voice version of "The Ballad of Photography by Elizabeth Mazzullo Railroad Bill." I have heard this song many times, but this was definitely the best! The songs weren't the only things funny. He made many jokes and humorous statements about the crowd, The Beacon, his accidental appearance in Boston--"I was dyslexic, I meant left, go to Orlando, buy and a '72 Impala," ·· his own brother ·- "Ja brand new album out so while you're waiting (Liv has a new album stores in May), you his."

It was in the hour long television show, "The Streets of San Francisco" where Michael Douglas received his first big break in acting. He was chosen to play beside Karl Malden as his detective partner. From there he moved into the realm of the film world. Early in his career, Douglas starred opposite French actress Genevieve Bujold in "Coma." At this time he was a reletively unknown actor. It's in the 1980s that he has made an extraordinary name for himself. First he starred in "The Star Ghamber," which received little attention by either the critics or the movie paying audience. However, this was a powerful film which took an incredible look at our court system and its fallacies. After "Star Chamber" Douglas' career sky- rocketed when "Romancing the Stone" hit the wide screen. Douglas produced and starred in this comedyadventure with the · alluring Kathleen Turner and the hilarious Danny Devito. This movie was a suprise hit and made way for a sequel that was almost as successful, called "Jewel of the Nile."

He seemed confused and disoriented. I could hardly speak. "Aren't you Alexander Pope?" I managed to blnrt out. "The very same, sir," he responded. "But vii.ere on God's green earth am I?" he demanded. "Wilkes College, sir," I told him. Mr. Pope's eyebrows raised distinctively to the middle of his forehead. He glanced out the window toward the Susquehanna. "Is that the Themes or the Avon?" he asked. • - - "Neither, sir," I explained, pointing to the rolling muddy chunks of floating ice. "That's the mighty Susquehanna," I told him. "Ah, must be I'm in Yorkshire, then," he mused. "Pennsylvania, sir," I · corrected. Mr. Pope looked bewildered. He explained that the last thing he rememberect had been discussing the possibilities of time travel with the Duke of Bolingbroke's magician. "O, sir, what a miracle!" I exclaimed. "Do you think, as long as you're here, you might teach, say, a workshop on couplets?" Mr. Pope seemed to brighten as he checkerl his gloves. "Well, perhaps. I do know a thing or two · about pentameter;" he offered. "We'd be in your debt, sir," I told him. "It would be such an honor." Mr. Pope's eyebrows seemed to rest peacefully above his eyes. "Come with me," I told him. "We'll go right to the Dean!" When we got to the Dean's office, we were told to go tQ Admissions. When we got to Admissions \\'e were told to go to Financial Aid. When we got to Financial Aid we were told that without a valid 1986 1040 tax form, there was nothing the college could do. "But this is Alexander Pope!" I told them. "Sorry!" was the response. "Unless he's related to a Sordoni." Heading back across campus, Mr. Pope seemed disillusioned. "I've had this trouble before," he told me.

Once she turned in her application at the Co-op office (third floor, Hollenback) on a Thursday, on Friday she received a phone call telling her that the interviews for Disney World were that Monday in Delaware. Deciding to take a chance, Janelle went to Delaware and was interviewed. There were 450 college students present, and they were told that only 60 were to be chosen. The students were also given a presentation about what their summer would be like if they were chosen. Accor<ling to Janelle, after she saw the the presentation, she "really wanted to do this." . Because of the number of students applying, they were interviewed in groups of two or three. After the interview, Janelle was told that if she got the job, she would receive a letter within two weeks. Now came the hardest part, waiting. Janelle said, "I came back and sat in my room, waiting for my letter." Fortunately for Janelle, she was one of the lucky ones-- she received the letter saying that her summer would be spent in Florida. The next month, Janelle was in Florida, staying in accommodations provided by Disney World. She and the other 550 college students from all over the world stayed at a condominiumstyle complex called Lake Vista Village that was only ten minutes from the park. In Lake Vista Village, there were plenty of things to make the stay away from home very enjoyable, things such as: two swimming pools, two tennis courts, a bar and restaurant, and a jacuzzi. In addition, transportation was provided to and from the park. The students were also given free admission into the park at any time. Because Janelle worked at Frontier Land, and knew what it encompassed almost by heart, she would spend her ·time in EPCOT when she chose to visit the park. One of the most interesting things Janelle found at Disney World was the underground "Degree?" I shouted. "Do you realize who this is? Alexander Pope! He wrote the Essay on Criticism. He wrote the Essay on Man! " "Has he had CS ll 5?" the head of the department wanted to know. "CS what?" Mr. Pope asked. "Computer science." we were told. "It's part of the core curriculum." "But sir.. .I only use a long quill pen." Mr. Pope offered. "Well, I'm sure we can get you into a good program," the head of the department suggested. "Now lets see, have you had Psych 101?" Alexander Pope's eyebrows did that incredible dance across the middle of his forehead as he stared at me. Helplessly, I turned back to the head of the department. "Isn't there anything we can do?" I pleaded. "Of course," he offered. "We always do our best to make special considerations. Now let me see. . ." He fussed over his papers for a few minutes until he suddenly brightened. Mr. Pope and I looked at him with anticipation. "Well, in light of the fact that you've written a couple of essays, I might let you challange Comp 101," he offered. "Good day," Mr. Pope said nsmg. He pulled his cape up around his shoulders and strode to the door. "Wait!" I shouted after him. I caught up to him at the bell tower. "Hello Dolly" was chiming away at full volume. "Please, Mr. Pope," I tunnels. Beneath the actual park, there are catacombs of tunnels where the employees go om their breaks. "It's an underground city with cafeterias and everything," ranelle said. The doors to get to the tunnels are widely dispersed throughout the park, but the average park visitor wouldn't recognize them because they are well hidden in the scenery. Naturally, there were a few drawbacks, such as the heat, which Janelle said was incredible this past summer. Also, this was the literal once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Students are not allowed to intern at Disney World more than once, however, by . working one day a year, they can retain their work status and return to work whenever they choose.

When asked what stood out the most from the summer she replied, "the people." Having an opportunity to live and work with college students from all over the world was the thing that stuck out in her mind about this summer. The friendships that she made in Florida have spanned many miles. They have kept in touch through frequent letters and, due to the cost, not so frequent phone calls. Also, this past Christmas break, those who live in the United States had a reunion in New York City. According to Janelle, "It was wonderful, everyone sho\\'.ed up. I didn't expect them all to . . . but everyone showed up." Janelle had a wonderful time interning at Disney World and she learned a lot about dealing with people, a valuable skill for a future newscaster. Having had, "the best time of her life," Janelle encourages everyone to try to experience a summer internship, especially one at a place like Disney World. The person to talk to is Cheryl Gibson at Co-op. Mrs. Gibson said that the applications for Disney will be in within the end of the month. When asked if she had advice for anyone looking for a summer internship, Janelle replied, "All I can say is: Go for it! You get a lot out of it." That's good advice from someone who has been there. Mr. Pope stopped and did begged. ·"Don't leave!" "Obviously I'm not needed his eyebrow dance again. "And here," came his affronted reply. where," he asked me "might that be?"

The Colonels had met both teams previously and come up short. The Monarchs of King's College may have defeated the Colonels back in December in the Wilkes' gym by ten points, but last Wednesday was a different story. Wilkes traveled across town to meet the Monarchs in Scandlon Gymnasium, and returned the favor m a stunning 73-65 victory over the Monarchs. On Saturday the Colonels hosted Delaware Valley, a team which had defeated the Colonels on the road over break. This time the Colonels rallied to a 72-66 triumph to increase their MAC record to 5-6. "At the present time we're playing with a great deal of confidence," said Head Coach Ron Rainey. "From the [King's] win, good feelings have· come and our confidence has gotten bet- 1l' ter. When you're losing you start to doubt yourself and what your doing out on the floor. If we can hold teams to j ust in the 60s we're going to have a good chance at winning because we've proved we can score at least that many. This proves what we're doing on the court is starting to work. If we keep doing things consistently in a game, we will come out a winner." Early in the first half of the King's game the Monarchs took control, forcing several Wilkes turnovers. The Colonels took a time out to regroup and came back ready to do battle. Battle they did, as the Colonels scored 19 unanswered points in the middle portion of the first half to take a 20 point lead. Late in the first period the Colonels led 38-18, but the Monarch's had cut the lead to 38-25 by halftime. Senior forward Jeff Steeber commented on the game by saying, "We started off really well. We actually played 40 minutes of good basketall. We made key shots and really hustled the ball.

According to we were to follow it, rrrluce the energy cost show the least fuel is oil, followed a big gap to the . 0'Hop said the cost of implementing the program will either be paid to the engineer or a utility. Since Wilkes College is a large consumer of energy, the fuel plan should be beneficial to both the College and the Wilkes-Barre community, said O'Hop because "what we do might hurt our neighbors." By designating one source of fuel, they may be raising another person's fuel cost. Dr. Christopher Breiseth, College president, said the energy plan also includes measures for improving ventilation in the basement of Stark Learning Center. Better ventilation would also prevent the radon level from reaching a level above normal. O'Hop said that precautionary measures are be taken to ensurethat the HV AC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) in the present system were designed. O'Hop compared Wilkes having a minor radon problem on Campus to a doctor with a cold. "The restricted access (to certain areas in the basement of Stark) were from preliminary results. There is a certain amount of panic mentality. I don't mean to downplay the seriousness of the situation, but we wouldn't intentionally expose anyone." He said that "all was being building breathe, he said, with an air exchange system, heat, and ventilation in appropriate places. O'Hop said that sometimes people don't like a vent and put plaster over it, automatic leuvers (Venetian Blinds) or clog it up in some way. He said,"If it's possible to give us better air, an energy plan will do that. We must first look at design systems to see that they are operating the way they were designed to operate. We will continue to study it and get more details on it ... We are chipping away after many years of benign neglect to slowly get things rectified." you have condom sense?

Few issues facing the world today elicit more controversy and discussion than condoms--their use, their effectiveness, and especially their place in schools and in the lives of today's youth. It is generally accepted that condoms are the best--and in many cases the only--way to protect against AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, and pregnancy, and they do, in fact, have a place in the life of many sexually active students on this campus. This point has never been disputed by the powers that be at Wilkes--condoms are available on campus in vending machines and the bookstore and also are available free of charge at Health Services, located in Hollenback Hall. The condoms are available, and students are slowly but surely being informed of their importance. Perhaps ¢at is the best point--slowly but surely. The sooner students are aware of the pros and cons of condoms and of the diseases they protect agains( the sooner students can start practicing safe sex. Granted, Wilkes has done its part. Students have the option to purchase or procure condoms on campus. What they are really lacking is the information and the awareness that should go with condom use. This coming week is National Condom Week, an attempt to inform people--especially those people in the 16-to- 24- year-old age range--about the · importance of condom use. In order to give Wilkes students some information on National Condom Week, The Beacon was prepared, in .. addition to running the article you see on ' the· front page, to print a public service announcement that depicted a row of condoms dancing ''Rockette" style. The ad was intended to draw students' attention and perhaps to make them wonder, "What's all the commotion about condoms?" or just to make them smile. Still, upon seeing the ad, the student would become, at least for a fleeting time, awa~ of condoms. The ad was not offensive; it was amusing. It served to interest the student without shoving hard facts down his throat But as you might have noticed, the ad is nowhere to be found in this issue of- The Beacon. Why? Good question. When it was brought to the attention of adminstrators that this ad would be run, the ad was shown around the halls of W eckesser and it was decided that the ad was inappropriate for publication. What could possibly prompt .administrators to suggest that a perfectly harmless public service ·ad for National Condom Week not be run? This one simple word--condom. What will people think when they see "dancing" condoms on the front page of a college newspaper? Won't we offend people? My question is: just where does the concern of the administrators lie? Does it lie with the students at whom this ad is directed or does it lie with the public/Board of Trustees/parents/local press who might actually be offended by the ad? My guess wouldn't be "with the students." Wilkes has again shown that its concern with image at certain times is more important than its concern with students. The ad is intended to make students aware of condoms. Sure, an article would help, but to- this visually stimulated generation, pictures speak louder than words. Although some may have said that the ad shouldn't be run because it was too cute, I somehow doubt that the ad would ' have run in an·y form. The administrators at Wilkes are so afraid of offending the public at large (or perhaps the big money contributors) that they are willing, at the expense of the fifth amendment and student health, to exercise just the tiniest bit of censorship. Well, even the tiniest ·bit of ce~sorship is too much. The ad really should have run. Both Health Services and The Beacon had agreed that the ad would bring about the desired effect--awareness--and that should be the most important thing. We are certainly not implying that Wilkes is willing to sacrifice the health of its students for image, but they have come very close this time. What good are condom machines without student awareness? What good are glowing words about the support of safe sex without giving the students the knowledge to practice it? Let's get condoms out of the closet--and into use. February 11, 1988 Letter to the Editor A Dead Horse Editor: to poll the students of Wilkes myself, and found some interesting trends. I hope they will be helpful: ( 1) Most students think the belltower is ugly. (2) Most students think it is a waste of money. (3) Most students apparently can't find anything else to complain about. (4) No matter what any of us think the belltower is here to stay. STOP BEATING A DEAD HORSE. As I read through the latest copy of The Beacon (February 4), something begins to occur to me. A theme emerges. Consistency develops. A rigid structure becomes apparent. The belltower is mentioned again . . . and again . . . and again. Last year's redundant theme of "campus apathy" is replaced by this year's just-as-boring "we hate the belltower" theme.

I talked to Mary Supey , the school nurse, about the diseases that could possibly pass because of poor hygiene. 'Fhe':i{,1j'st disease she mentioned was hepititis, and then she went on to say that "just about every disease known to man can be passed by not washing your hands." Handwashing is basic sanitation, and it is also a basic human need. · I also talked to John Pesta, who is quite infonned about how the funds are handled according to the needs on campus. The condom machines were installe<l by one person, who is a member of the in-house personel. It cost $3,342.05 to have all 19 condom machines installed in all of the dorms. Wow .. .19 machines!

He recomends "talking to people who you feel most comfortable with.

Again, all of these are examples of purely selfish, discourteous actions. Common courtesy is, after all, not that much to ask for, and it would make life at Wilkes that much more pleasant for all of us. And to look at things in quite a cynical way, it's a technique that some Wilkes students might even find useful in their future career. Since, according to the statistics in last week's editorial, most students' goal in attending college is money,_ perhaps this courtesy course could be "sold" to students from the idea that it will make them more marketable. Who knows? It might work. After all, the idea of being polite to one's fellow students for politeness' sake alone doesn't seem to have caught on here in a big way. Perhaps this will be an incentive to the Gordon Gekko crowd: just think, taking that correct phone message now could mean important connections later--and just think, if you don't wear your hats to class, some grateful soul somewhere might you that first BMW--and a �PAGE FOUR February 11, 1988 -)Winter Weekend Activities JY Amy Braun Maybe you haven't yet made any plans for the weekend of February. 26. Maybe you have been trymg to tell yourself you are going to stay in and study that weekend. Well, forget it! February 26, 27, and 28 just so h~ppen to be Winter Weekend this year. How can you stay in and study with all those activities going on around you? The theme this year is Winter Olympics '88, and it is being sponsored by the Wilkes College student government. There will be 15 teams involved in the weekend. There will 14 people on each team, consistmg of 7 guys and 7 girls. There aren't as many teams this Y~ _as there were last year, but this is an attempt to limit confusion. The teams will each be n~ed after a country, and they will each bear banners represen~ng that country. Each student m_vol~ed has to make a contnbution of $1.00. Student government will match each dollar .Ix: Death Continued from p.3 It also states, "Grief is painful, and unwanted feelings of guilt frequently are part of the · pain. Somehow we believe that there might have been something we could have done either 10 prevent the death or to have made the person happier during Jife." Grief can kill.

I _ talked to John · Rosania, president of student government, and he gave me a preview of the activities that will be • taking place: Student Government has been working very hard during the past few weeks preparing the weekend's activities with the other chairpersons on the commitee. On Friday night of Winter Weekend, the opening ceremonies will take .place. Each team involved will gather under the bell tower. A "torch"-bearer will run from the cafeteria to the bell tower (hopefully without getting hit by a car). The "torch" will actually be a flare because of the school's regulations regarding fire. The opening ceremonies will begin at 9:00 p.m. Saturday morning the activities will resume. The first activity will be an empty keg roll (everyone should be really good at this one). This event will take place at Ralston field. The events that follow will be the "three-legged race", the "orange pass", ' and weather permitting, everyone will b_e found "plastic bagging" it down the huge hill in Kirby Park. (I didn't know what this activity was either. John told me it is a relay race in which people wear plastic bags and throw themselves over the edge of the hill.) Sounds like a great time! If there happens to be no snow that weekend, the relay race will be "spoon-threading." (I didn't recognize that one either--that is when teams compete by pulling a spoon through the clothes they are wearing. The spoon is tied to a string, and according to what John said, it is extremely difficult. Maybe everyone can start practicing now!) From 11:00 to 1:00 on Saturday there will be a break for lunch. The afternoon activities will resume at 1:00. The first activity will be "blind man's basketball". After that competition is done, the "bat spin" will take place. The th:rd activity of ATTENT CLASS the afternoon will the be "obstacle course." The final event of the day will be the "tug of war." Sunday's activities will be taking place in the YMCA. There will be several different swimming relays to participate in or watch. The weekend's events are all going to be exciting and hilarious to be involved in--or to watch. From talking to John, I got the impression that a lot of hard work went into the preparation of Winter Weekend this year. Many activities and events have been planned, and they should provide an exciting three days of entertainment. When I asktedhe what he expected from weekend, John said, "I think I want us to have a sucessful event, under control, and without the presence of alchohol." Many students are looking forward to this year's events. The weekend should be a sucess for both the winners and the losers--and it should be a lot of fun!

Wilkes swept all three teams, and Coach Reese was very pleased, saying, "the kids wrestled well, they really hustled." The first match of the day had the Colonels facing the Cadets of Army. Brian Bauer got the Colonels off to a good start with a 4-1 victory over Tony Malba. The 126 bout was probably the most controversial. With the score tied 2-2, Dennis Mejias was called for an illegal move, and eventually lost to Army's Trevar Emey, 8-6. Wilkes also lost a team point for unsportsman like conduct to give the Cadets a 3-2 lead. Coach Reese needed a fast start to off-set Anny's strength Darrel Nereve to a 4-4 tie. The Colonels got a big victory from Frank Goldowski, who major decisioned Jeff Butler 10-2, making the Colonel lead 12-5. Mike Schroat was also impressive for the Colonels as he defeated Nick Moulken 6-4. Army then closed the score to 15-9 as John Rippley major decisioned Chris ·Shoud 13-0. Craig Rome then scored the final points for the Colonels--a major decision over Rob Holder. Rome's victory gave the Colonels an 18-9 lead going into the final two bouts.

Although you might not think so, the loss of the campus media would have a widespread effect on the overall well-being of the campus. The student organizations mentioned above are just a few that fill the need for student expression and communication, and, as of late, they are outlets that are being grievously underused by the very people they are designed for--the students. There seem to be consistent complaints from many leaders of campus organizations bewailing the lack of student participation. It is very easy to complain about the lack of participation, but it is even harder to come up with a reasonable explanation as to why there is such a problem. On larger campuses participation in things like the newspaper, radio station, and yearbook is not only popular, but downright competitive. Here, , however, the Qrganizations and publications are crying out for help, and many valuable learning experiences are being ignored. One possible reason for poor student participation could merely be the lack of knowledge about the various opportunities available. The average student may not be aware that The Manuscript , The Amnicola, or WCLH are accessible to every student on campus. Every week, The Beacon stresses the need for writers and photographers, and every week the plea is ignored. As a result of the ads we run, we have received no more than two people. These people do not even begin to fill our need. If mere ignorance were the problem, it would be a relatively easy one to solve. However, ignorance is only the surface problem. Perhaps students feel inundated with schoolwork, and they feel that giving time to extracurricular activites would be a drain on their GPA. That is a reasonable objection, but there is a great deal to be learned through extracurricular activites as well. Submitting to the Amnicola, to the Manuscript , or to The Beacon • takes only a relatively small fraction of time away from studying. Honing writing skills, seeing how the various organizations work, and even getting an intellectual break from studying are all plusses of getting involved with the various publications on campus. All right, I'll even give a _mercenary reason for those of you out there who need it--extracurricular participation looks great on resumes! Most distressing for The Beacon is the lack of Communications students willing to become involved. After all, this is the field these students want to get into: the newspaper and radio station should be something they want to do, to put their skills into practice. But of the 12 editorial positions on The Beacon staff, only three are filled by Communications majors. Worse yet, there are rarely submissions from any students from that academic field. These students are supposed to be honing skills that are tailored exactly for the kind of work that The Beacon does. Instead of coming out to help us, these students are more willing to criticize than to contribute. And that is truly dangerous. Maybe students are intimidated by the orgainzations. Maybe they feel that it's too hard to get involved. Nothing could be further from the truth. All of the campus organizations are accessible and are always willing to welcome a new face. You don't need experience, just a desire to learn. After all, that's what college is supposed to be about--learning both inside and outside of the classroom. Communication and expression are a vital and integral part of growth. Can students really have a complete education without the benefit of this kind of expression?

My reply to that is that anyone who can make a statement like this has obviously never had to deal with all of this paperwork.

People who wish to park there insert .50 into the slot, the gate goes up and they park as long as they need to. But we all know that's just a dream. The college would never see spending that kind of money on something as "useless" as a parking garage. They would much rather use it on more useful constructive projects such as a new gym or even (I can't resist) the bell tower. I feel that if Wilkes is not going to do something constructive about the parking problem, they should at least teach us "defensive parking."

This means that the class of 1991 may recieve their diplomas with Wilkes University written across the top. People have reacted in various ways to the idea of Wilkes "changing face." There have been both negative reactions and positive reactions. Most of the alumni of Wilkes "College" would like to continue thinking of their alma mater as just that- a college. Other reactions on the negative side may be ·that people simply don't like change, and that Wilkes may lose some of its intimacy with students. On the more positive side, according to Breiseth, Wilkes College will be given a chance to be known for what it more accurately is. According to Breiseth, all of our programs are too broad to be labelled "College". Also, Wilkes is a comprehensive school that provides worthwhile undergraduate and graduate programs. Why should Wilkes bother changing to a university? For one thing, the change will provide a positive impact on the Wilkes-Barre community as a whole. Having a University in the city may very likely attract many large corporations. Also, university status may sharpen the way employers in the job market view Wilkes and the programs of study that are offered here. The idea of Wilkes College changing to a Universtity is still being examined. Although there is no time commitment that the commities in charge have to work for, President Breiseth believes the work should be done soon. He bel~ves there is no point sitting arc5und talking apout it for two years.

"Here's a chance to do something different for Spring Break and make a difference at the same time," says Tony Vento, Campus minister. From Saturday, March 26 to April 2, Wilkes and King's College students will travel to the east side of Manhattan, to learn about and help the homeless through the SAFH, pronbunced "SAFE," or Shelter and Food For the Homeless. Charlie McGarry, Director of SAFH, part of the Trinity lower east side Lutheran parish i1i Manhattan said, "Thanks for all the help you are giving us or are going to give us. Together, we can really make the place a safe, clean, and :warm environment for the homeless to call home while they get themselves back on their feet" Vento said the inspiration for this program came from the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) used in Christian churches during the Lenten s~on. He said the source of inspiration was Isaiah 58:6-7,10, "This is the fast that pleaseth me: to break unjust fetters, to let the oppressed go free, to share your bread with the hungry and shelter the homeless poor. If you do away with the yoke, the clenched fist, the wicked word, if you give your bread to the hungry and relief to the. oppressed, your light will rise in the darkness." He said, "Those _wh<!_are not religiously oriented will not be forced to participate in religious act1V1Ues. But for those who want it, it is "Holy Week" in N.Y.C." Vento ' said there are three ways we can paruc1pate in helping the homeless so "our ideas can make a difference right now as well as in the future." "The first way is through direct service," he said. Students can help with light renovations for Manhattan's east side SAHF homeless shelter. Priority items are: renovating the shelter or helping an affiliated food kitchen under the direction of the _formerly homeless in N.Y.C. The second way is through meeting experts from international agencies based in N.Y.C. to ask questions that arise from direct service and learn about the poverty programs around the world, said Vento. Local participants in the programs include; Amnesty International, Catholic Relief Service, Bread for 0.he World and the religious representatives of the U.N. He said the third way will be using time for discussions for those who want to join in with scripture and prayer, personal journal time, fun and sightseeing in N.Y.C. Vento says to those who want to auend, "It will be unlike any week you've spent before and a week you will remember for the rest of your life."

Some of you may already be familiar with Don through his bi-weekly column in The Beacon or through his weekly radio show--lbe Don and Ed Show-that airs Saturdays from 4-8 p.m. on WCLH. These two roles, however, are not the only ones that Don is able to play. He is also deeply entrenched in the theater here at Wilkes and will appear soon in the Wilkes production of Pericles the King. One might think that with all of these things keeping Don busy he would be hesitant to accept the strenuous job of running the college station. He seems to have no qualms about jumping from one position to the next. He sees the general manager's position as a good opportunity. He credits this to "a really workable staff, a really dedicated staff. They have shown dedication and promise as far as running good solid programming goes." According to Don his main goal as General Manager of WCLH is "to get people involved in other things than just being a DJ. For instance, I made it mandatory that everyone on the staff do one piece of production work, like a promo or a public service announcement. They have to script it and produce it themselves." This gives the members a chance to get experience in all facets of radio production, not just the obvious ones. Don feels that one of the biggest changes he's noticed since taking over the position was that the staff "runs more like a unit, not just an executive staff. Instead of having meetings every month, we meet every other week. This makes us more like a club instead of two different staffs." Don also sees marked inprovement in , the day to day interaction at WCLH. "More people are showing up to do their shows. People on the general staff are not intimidated by the executive staff. This makes for more consistent }Jfogramming." It has come to my attention that the effective political system that drives our nation runs at a 45 degree angle to what seems sane -and sensible to me. I've had terrific bad luck with candidates all my life, which doesn't do a lot for my political selfesteem. However, given my 100% rotten luck in seeing my candidates achieve voting success, I've decided to put my bad luck to work in predicting the next President of the United States. I am willing to offer my reverse expertise to the candidates, free of charge. To hell with New Hampshire, the best way to pick the candidates would be to ask me who I would most hate to see gain the office. Let's call that "The Barber Pole." Historically, even as a small child, I was adamantly in favor of Adlai Stevenson. My 100% percent accuracy at picking the winning candidate was underway. Kennedy threw off my track record for awhile, and I basked in the joy of having my candidate win. The victory, as you may recall, was short lived. I opposed Johnson and the Viet Nam war, but it wasn't until the onslaught of Richard Nixon that I really became vehement. Simultaneously, during this whole period, Ronald Reagan was governor of California, the state in which I was living at the time. I felt totally estranged. Imagine my horror when Ronald Reagan ran for President! And won! And then enjoyed the longest honeymoon with the press a recent .President has experienced. Shock became outrage when he was re-elected in '84. It was then the Barber Pole was born. Therefore, gentle readers, I offer my services to the candidates this election year on a professional basis. All the Barber Pole has to do is survey the candidates, find the most heinous, disgusting and repuslive candidate and Bingo! -- you've got your next President However, this year, there are so many awful candidates, that the Barber Pole is having some difficulty in selecting just which candidate is the unqualified worst. I have been · watching David Frost's interviews with fervor, but I must admit that so far all the candidates are registering very high on my "hate scale" - so I am having some trouble with my data. That was, until I watched Pat Robertson. My "repulso-meter" went off so violently last night-witnessing that insipid, false smile and brainless rhetoric-that I am fairly convinced that we here at the Barber Pole Headquarters are ready to pick Robertson as the most disgusting phoney to ever run for the office. And, therefore, if we follow form, I feel pretty confident in assuring you that he will become your next president I say yours because this time, if it really works. out that way, I will be leaving the country. Consider his ideologies. First of all, PR thinks that AIDS is first of all a moral dilemma and secondly a health issue. Since 90% of AIDS victims (his statistic) are either needle users or homosexuals, it follows that they brought this on themselves, that God is happy with the situation, and therefore Congress should continue to hide its head. This kind of thinking belongs in the electric chair, not in the swivel chair. Secondly, PR believes that God talks to him, directly. When asked to separate the Bible from the Constitution, PR was iffy about how he would do that, since, to PR, God wrote both of them. Perhaps Jim or Tammy should be vice-president God speaks to them, too. Or maybe Oral Roberts, he has a two-way phone system that he feels goes right to Heaven, pabulum, and the willing goat to religious propa it is packed an Jesus. But look ly.

Club feature Don feels that WCLH "gives Wilkes students a chance to get hands on experience with the operations of a radio station and its equipment It's just like any commercial station, except we, the students, get to make our own rules and run it the way we feel it should be run. Working with the equipment is the biggest thing. The station also gives a student a chance to move up in the ranks if he so desires." In addition to working to make a tighter staff, Don and WCLH have other projects underway including an internship for local high school students that will provide them an opportunity to come in and see how the station works (and also may serve valuable recruiting purposes) and an underwriting campaign that allows area business to sponsor specific shows in return for donations of money or goods, still leaving WCLH with their non-commercial status. Although obviously his role at WCLH is of primary importance, ·Don also serves a role as a campus leader. He sees this as one of his Continued on p. 9 Crew team moves on by Bruce Hom Looking out over the frozen river, the last thing on your mind has to be rowing. However, as proven by the recent warmer weather, spring is just around the comer and with that warmer weather is sure to come the sight of the Wilkes Crew Team rowing down the Susquehanna. The crew team was formed last semester when great interest was shown by both the school and the community. This sem- ester will be the club's first official season with races scheduled throughout the spring. The races will range from exhibition races on our river to official sanctioned races against teams such as Bucknell, Drexel, and Susquehanna, among others. Since the club's inception in September, members have shown nothing but positive responses. The generosity of alumni and faculty has allowed them to purchase three boats and still have a sizable balance in their bank account.

I can't say that I disliked what I heard, it just wasn't what I was used to listening to. So, I thought I should interview the DJ to find out who he was and what kind of music he played. Heavy-metal, that's what he said it is, and he is Jim Ferris, a Metal Monday DJ. Jim is a junior communications major from He's not a flasher or a thrasher. He's Jim Fems, .and he's a DJ! Kingston, PA. He has been a DJ since his freshman year, but this is his first year playing "metal" music. I conducted the interview by asking questions about his Metal Monday show: The Beacon: "How would you explain the kind of music you play?" Jim Ferris: "It is the next step up -- from rock and roll, to hard rock, to heavy metal. Who knows what comes next" T. B.: "Are you looking forward to what comes next?" J. F.: "By that time, I probably won't even like it" T.B.: "Who's your favorite group?" J. F.: "That's a tough one. Judas Priest because I listen to them the most. I also like older Aerosmith. T.B.: "What's wrong with the new Aerosmith?" J.F.: "It's too commercial. I don't only listen to metal. I like to listen to everything on WCLH because it's a good station." T.B.: "What groups do you play?" J.F.: "Anthrax, Metallica, Megadeth, Dokken. I play the newest in metal. I don't even know some of the things I play. I play music for my listeners, not for my own pleasure." While talking to Jim, I learned that he is not only a DJ, he is also the production manager at the radio station. He works with public service announcments, helps the engineers get the station .o n the air, and does promos. Jim explained that promos are self- · promoting commercials for the radio station ("You're listening to WCLH 90.7, new music 91.") T. B.: "Why should people listen to your show, and what time do you air?" J. F.: "My show is Monday nights from 9 to midnight. People should listen if they like the music -- it's a specialty show." T. B.: "Specialty show?" J. F.: "I just play metal. The radio station has specialty shows with jazz, dance, metal, and reggae." I asked Jeff to tell me about his plans for the future. He told me that he has no clue about what he wants to do after graduation. He knows · that he wants to be involved in radio or TV, but he hasn't made a definite decision. He wants to attend a "Monsters of Rock" concert this summer. It will include groups such as the Scorpions, Van Halen, Dokken, and Metallica, all in an arena for about four T.

"I was happy to have scored 1000 points. but I would have rather won more games and made the playoffs," Steeber remarked. "We've only made the playoffs once since I've been tournament Wilkes dropped both games played. but did have two players named to the all-tournament team: Nolan and Steeber. Nolan broke a tournament record scoring 30 points. Wilkes tied a record for most field goals made in one game. Things did not go well for games were not good ones for Wilkes as they suffered defeats from the University of Scranton and Elizabethtown. The next two games were big victories for the Colonels. In _the first game the Colonels traveled across town to defeat rival King's College. Delaware Valley then came into the Wilkes' Gym to take on' the Colonels. The Colonels rallied to a 72-66 victory. The trip to Susquehanna didn't end favorably for the Colonels as the Crusaders beat Wilkes 88-79. On Saturday, February 6, the Colonels hosted Lycoming. Behind the shooting of Steeber and Nolan the Colonels criused to a 88-79 victory. Again, road trips were not kind to the Colonels as they lost two games to Drew and Scranton. Score-wise, both Nolan and Argentati had a good night netting 29 and 23 points respectively in the Drew game. In the Scranton game Wilkes was able to stay with the Royals in the first half and early in the second period. In the middle of . the second half the Royals went on a 19-2 run and the Colonels fell victim to a 70-64 loss. The trip to FDU-Madison didn't prove to be much better. The Colonels were defeated by the Jersey Devils 83-70. The home game against College Misericordia was a better one. The Cougars con-trolled most of the first half but the Colonels came back in the second, behind the shooting of - Steeber. Nolan, and Argentati. It was in this. ·game that Nolan went over the 500 mark for the season. The last game of the season and the last game to be played in the present gym was heartbreaking for the Colonels. They were defeated by the Juniata Indians, 82-72. "We have a lot of hard work in front of us," Rainey said. "I don't think anyone is happy with the way things ended. We have to get better defensively. That's a glaring problem that really sticks out. We're losing our two best rebounders in Scott (Jacoby) and Jeff (Steeber). Our offense is a real plus. We know what we need, and we have to try to fill it through recruiting. That's the key right now." Jacoby summed up his last season at Wilkes this way: "Just playing and being part of the system here at Wilkes was big thrill for me. Also, getting to The men's basketball season came to a close Saturday afternoon. Things didn't go exactly the way coach Ron Rainey and his team had hoped it would back in November. But the season was not a total loss because with each game the young players~ showed consistent improvement "To sum up the season, one word comes to mind: inconsistency," Rainey said. "That could have been caused by a couple of things. One could have been the changes in personnel. We didn't do as well as I hoped or thought we could. We played hard every game with the exception of a couple games. We set some goals but I don't think we played smart all the , time as a team." "I don't think we did as well as we should have:" stated senior Jeff Steeber. "Our record is definitely not an indication of how good we really are." Rainey only loses two players to graduation this year: forward Steeber and center Scott Jacoby. "We lose two very valuable players in Scott and Jeff. Scott was invaluable. He did all the little things that really count but don't show up in the stat sheets. Jeff was one of our leading scorers and showed us some good leadership." said Rainey. "I was pleased with the leadership both of them showed Basketball senior co-captains Scott Jacoby and Jeff Steeber. this season." here and it would have been great the Colonels _after that as they "We're definitely losing a to have done it again this year." lost MAC games to Lycoming, lot of talent in both Jeff and Nolan became only the third King's. and FDU-Madison.

Early in the game the lead switched hands several times. Argentati and sophomore guard Jim Nolan were strong, shooting from the outside, but the Royals countered with aggressive inside shooting to keep the scoring close.

Jim Healey, a sophomore who is active in student government was in charge of the entire weekend. "It went pretty well. The deans thought it was a big success. The teams cooperated and followed rules. There were really no problems at all," he said. "I think the weekend very well. I was impressed that the alcohol, if any, remained invisible," said John Rosania, president of the Wilkes College student government Many teams participated in the weekend's events.

Student admission is $2.00, and adults, $3.00. their team was Matt Ryan. The team that came in third was "Italy", and their team captain was Joe Smith. The opening ceremonies Friday evening turned out to be a wonderful beginning to this year's events. The spirit that each team felt was quite obvious at Friday's ceremonies. Every team involved made flags of the nations they represented. Healey said everyone was excited, but the opening ceremonies remained under control. Many people felt the best events of the weekend were the "Bat Spin" and the tug- of -war. The "Bat Spin" was enjoyable for the audience to watch because the participants had to spin around a bat and run back and tag a team member. The reason the event was so much fun to watch was because after spinning around the bat, the participants could not return to their team members in a straight line. The tug-of-war was a success because it promoted the aspect of teamwork. Healey said of this event that it was "great to see people working together to obtain a common goal". The closing ceremonies on Sunday went quite well according to Healey. This years winter weekend was apparently "one of the best this school has ever had." Although the exact amount of money earned has not been tabulated, approximately $500 was donated to Easter Seals. The Wilkes- Barre community felt positive about winter weekend according to Healey.

Evers responsibility. First there was the bell tower, soon there will be the gym, and a veritable plethora of other improvements is in the works for this campus. But there is one improvement that has been ignored too long, one that is sadly overdue. Last spring, a student fell from the center stairwell in Pickering Hall. As a result of the accident, that student was left paralyzed. Recently, another student fell from the same staircase in Pickering Hall and fractured his skull. Now we hear that "deterrents" are being installed around the staircase to "insure student safety." One question, however, must be asked: why did it take two student accidents (and the threat of lawsuits) to motiviate a change in the design of the staircase? The staircase was an obvious problem and a hazard to the students who live in that dormitory. It should have been obvious after the first accident that something had to be done to prevent other students from suffering the same fate. Instead, almost a year later, these deterrents are just now being installed. Why did it take the fall of another ~tudent from the staircase to precipitate this campus improvement? Why did it take another student injury before the College was able to see that the stairwell was poorly placed and planned? Deterrents, if they will make a difference, realistically should have been part of the design of the staircase from the beginning, and ignoring that, at least should have been installed long before the first student ever fell. The threat of lawsuits and the damage to. College image was probably a definite motivating factor in the installation of these deterrents. Yes, preventing lawsuits and improving image is a valid reason for installing deterrents, but student safety is an even more valid reason. Yes, Wilkes is concerned about its students, but why build a bell tower when there are other viral improvements to be made? This issue is not one-sided. The students' own responsibility cannot be ignored. Wilkes College is supposed to be producing capable adults. But does part of the maturing process include careless (and many times drunken) behavior? The residents of Pickering Hall should ~ake up on~e and fo~ all and realize that people are gettmg hurt there. Still, the College is no doubt aware of the use of alcohol in the dorms and the drink-'tilyou-do-something-asinine mentality of some of the dorm's occupants. And if the College had been unaware, they should have become aware after the first accident and made the necessary disciplinary or physical changes to the atmosphere. One can only hope that the installation of these ~e_terrents will prevent any more students from being mJured. One can only hope that the College will take a cue from these incidents and work to improve the things on the campus that are truly important instead of concentrating on surface beautification and image enhancement. Priorities were somewhat skewed in the management of this issue. Instead of improving the College's image with the installation of new structures like bell tower, the school ran the risk of damaging the school's reputat\On by directly or indirectly ignoring the needs of the students. Another hope is that students will think about the thin_gs that they do more fully. College is where students begm assuming responsibility for their actions; it is where students make the transition into adulthood. Let's face it hanging off of a halcony when you've had one too many i~ just a pl~~n stupid_ thing to do. It doesn't show any responsibility and illustrates a general lack of maturity that may be running just a little too rampant around campus. Horseplax. is horseplay only until it costs someone the use of his legs, or worse yet costs him his life. ' Will it take a death to teach Wilkes students and Wilkes College the lesson of responsibility? It looks like it's finally going to happen. The event that we've all been waiting for-and, no, it's not the Barnum and Bailey Circus. , What is this near-miraculous act? Is it the realization of global peace? An overwhelming victory for the Cleveland Indians in the next World Series? The discovery of a cure for cancer? No, it isn't any of these. It is, however, an event of equally momentous proportions. They're tearing down the gym. I don't know about you, but this came as a big shock to me. I was beginning to accept the groundbreaking for the new Sports and Conference Center as an eventuality that would not be seen by our generation (or for several generations to come, for that matter). So I was pretty happy to hear that groundbreaking . was actually scheduled for Friday morning. Even if the gym's not going to be done for a while, at least it's been started, and that's great. Just think--future Wilkes students' won't have to trek to the JCC for gym classes. And the new SCC will have, I hope, plenty of space for student meetings and campus events as well as for administrative and faculty conferences and meetings. But I have to admit that something about this groundbreaking has me pretty distressed. To be quite honest, it's the last part of the word that's got me troubled--"breaking." It's a pretty destructivesounding word, isn't it? Don't get me wrong. I think the SCC's going to be a Wanted: DISTRIBUTION MANAGER. No experience necessary, will train.

But to break ground in the lot by the gym, the College will have to commit murder-herbicide, if you will--because there .are several trees on that very plot of earth. This little bit of tree-killing might not seem like a big deal to you, but if you look at it in the context of other, similar actions that have taken place at Wilkes this year, you'll realize that there's a conspiracy here. What other acts of herbicide have been committed under our very noses? I'm glad you asked, because I've been keeping an informal tally. Here's a list of some of the worst offenses: 1) The trees that were cut down outside of Evans Hall earlier this year; 2) The tree that was cut down outside the Evans lot; 3) All of the grass and shrubbery that was tom up to provide room for the concrete Belltower Plaza. What's the reason for this, you might ask? Well, you see, some of the higher-ups at Wilkes are afraid of plants. Call it plant phobia, if you will--but it's spreading. Creeping like a vine-to use a more appropriate image. Don't think for a moment that the planting of trees on Campus Beautification Day nullifies this, either. That was just a blind, so that we don't realize what's really going on. Think about it for a second: the College tears up seven trees, three bushes, and a whole plot of grass, and plants a teeny tiny sapling, one worthy of a Charlie Brown Christmas Special. Pretty suspicious, isn't it? Couple this observation with the fact that so mllJ parking lots around cam been repaved, and you to see a glimmer of Ibo plan. Yep. That's it.

You are responsible for the death of this person. There could be lawsuits because the person that sat in your car to take a short trip to school, or to take an afternoon trip to the mall, was killed. Why? The seat belt law in New Jersey and several other states in this country says that the driver of a car is responsible for the welfare of his/her passengers. The seat belt law has crossed Pennsylvania's borders. Now, in this state, the driver of a car is required by law to make his/her passengers wear a seatbelt. Is "buckling up" such a difficult thing to do? There have been many responses to this newly established seatbelt law. I talked to a few students to get a perspective that extended beyond my own. "I think the seat belt law is a good one because it saved my pet ferret, Menudo. We were coming back to school from New York, and when we came into Pennsylvania I didn't bother to take my seat belt off. When we got .onto route 115, we hit a patch of ice, and had an accident. If I wasn't wearing the belt, Menudo, who was inside my jacket, would have been killed," said Dennis Mejias, a senior cocaptain of the wrestling team . "I feel like people should wear their seat belts, although I personally only wear it in bad weather. If wearing seat belts would become mandatory, and punishable in a worse way than simply a fine, I would wear it," said Tom McFadden, a freshman from Reading, Pennsylvania. "I totally agree with the law 100 percent because it prevents the passenger from hitting the dashboard or the windshield," said a freshman who chose to PAGE THREE remain anonymous. the lack of a sealtbelt could do "I think wearing seat bealts to someone," he said boldly. should be a law because it is One day he was called to the such a simple measure, and it scene of a very messy car accicould easily save your life," said dent.

President who? by Rob Mac Arthur Who do you think is going to be the next President of the United Sfafes? Are the Democrats going to get their chance to rule the White House and Congress after eight years of Ronald Reagan? Are the Republicans continuing their legacy by promoting their political ideals into the 1990s? "Dole. He has added publicity and a lot of media coverage," remarked Patti Tomalis. "I don't like any of the candidates. I'd like to see four years without a president until they come · up with some real candidates," said Jim Barsic. "I really don't care who wins because all they ever do is cut financial aid and they think that benefits students who wish to further their education," said Kechia Lipsey. "Hopefully Gary Hart, he's cute!"· remarked Joelle Olenik, with a smile from ear to ear; "Mike Dukakis, because of his past actions with developing the state of Massachusetts, and I was born in Massachusetts," said Christine Romanchyk. "Jimmy Swaggart because he's a moral and just man," said Jeff Churba. "Mike Dukakis. He's a good Democrat from New England and he gets down to basics," said Dave Vanderlyke. "Mike Dukakis, because out of .::very single candidate thus far he's shown the most strength in terms of leadership. If not him then Jimmy Pheromone," said Andy Morrell. "Bush. He has the most solid and consistent backing," said Wendy Flick. "Paul Simon. He is for education and against Contra Aid and he's against organized crime. He's done a real lot in Illinois to stop crime. He also has a good namesake," commented John Olszewski. �PAGE FOUR March 3, 1988 Winter Weekend Continued fromp.1 Student life committee seeks imput cultural programs that would stimulate thought, discussion and hopefully appeal to the student body," Groh said. He said the concert/lecture committee group has brought such well known people as Hank Aaron, baseball homerun hitter; John Houseman of investment firm Smith/Bamey; S te ve Malcomb Forbes of Forbes . Magazine; and David Brinkley of ABC News, in the last five years. Billings suggested that students submit names of prospective speakers (within the price range of the budget) to the student life committee at the ROTC office. Some names already received included: Lee lacocca, Isaac Asimov, Call Sagan, William Buckley, Joe Paterno, Paul Kanjorski, John Heinz, Arlen Specter, Barbara Walters, Gwynn Dyer, Bill Bradley, David Letterman. and Abbie Hoffman. Interested students are asked to attend meetings on the first of every month in · the · I.E.E.E. room in the basement of the Wilkes College library. Members of the Student Life committee discussed student participation. by Kim Klimek The Student Life Committee met Tuesday to evaluate the purpose of the group and generate student interest in campus activities. Colonel David Billings, / Student Life Committee chairman, suggested working to achieve unity on a largely departmentalized and individualized campus. The same individualization which leads to a higher understanding of life may be drawing · the campus members further apart instead of uniting them in their search for truth. According to faculty members, there are "many little factions on campus," generated . by individualization and the need for special interest groups. Students are encountering similar problems. They are either too concerned about personal problems to get involved in. campus activities or are finding it hard to comm_it themselves to one group without hurting the feelings of friends involved in other groups. This indi.vid-. ualization may also be resulting in an "apathy" for activities that do not pertain to self-interests. Because there are so many groups at Wilkes, a relatively small college, these groups are finding it hard to achieve unity. Acccording to .

All the rest have thirty-one, except the second month alone, to which we twenty-eight assign, til leap year gives it twentynine." Yes, it's that time again. You know what time I mean, leap year, when everybody's watch with a calendar gets messed up, when the Olympics run their course, and the year feels longer, because it really is! We all know that the reason there is a leap year is because the solar year is really 365.25 days long, so they save the .25 until the fourth year and add an extra day. However, did you know that the year is really 365.242 days · long and was rounded up to .25. That little bit of a day adds up over the centuries, so the discrepency was adjusted by adding the extra day only to century years that are exactly divisible by 400, meaning the year 2000 will, but, 2100 won't. Leap years in tween these years will also be "normal." So, 2096 will be a leap year, 2100 won't, and 2104 will. Get it? Didn't think so. Regardless of the fact that it confuses everyone, leap year has a lot going for it. For example, the Olympics. Every four years, on a leap year, the nations of the world lay dowii their weapons and join in a peaceful competition. That alone would make leap year a pretty special year, but there is more. When my friends found out I would be writing an article about leap year, they informed me that I simply had to mention that Sadie Hawkins Day falls on leap day. I had been unaware of this fact, so I decided to do some research before I wrote anything. What I found out was that there is no satisfactory explanation of where the custom of women wooing the men on leap year originated. However, I did learn that in 1288, the tradition was made a law in Scotland. This law stipulated that if the man refused when he was proposed to, he was required to pay the sum of one pound. While this day is now commonly known as Sadie Hawkins Day, it is actually called Bachelor's Day. Naturally, there are people who are born on leap day. Until I began researching this article, I thought (like everyone else did) that they only , had a birthday every four years. Well, that's not true. King Henry IV took care of that. He declared that on non-leap years, people born on February 29 would have their official birthday on February 28. That proclamation was very beneficial to many famous people. For example, Pope Paul II, who was born in 1468, was born on leap day. He was the pope who excommunicated King Henry VIII, a descendent of the king who gave him a yearly birthday. That's gratitude for you. Some other people who were born on leap day include, Jimmy Dorsey, the famous musician during the Big Band Era; Ann Lee, the religious leader who founded the American sect of the Shakers; John Philip Holland, t was ev ege Thei in Gray': ow I Got ran like to bottom Dr. Mic As is the tradition on Sadie Hawkin's Day, the lady asks the marry her.

Nordic (or cross-country) skiing will be done at Frances Slocum Park. It is a large park with lots of hills and is actually used by local people for just that purpose. Throw down some target areas and, presto, we've got a place for the biathalon. The only event left to place would be ski jumping. Wilkes College has also taken care of that with the latest edition to campus. They want us to believe it was built to be a centerpiece on campus, a place to meet. But I know the truth! The Belltower · is actually the beginnings of the start houses for the 70 and 90 meter ski jump. The ramp will be constructed soon and will have little hooks on the end so it can be lifted to its 70 meter or 90 meter height. Of course this means the structure itself will have to be raised. No big deal, why do you think the initial hole was so. big? Because the rest is in the ground waiting to be hydraulically elevated. In the year 2000 events such as the ski jump will be changed slightly to fit its surroundings. I mean, we can't tear down the library just for the Olympics, can we?

Or to hear Al Michaels asking "Do you believe in miracles?" from the Olympic Dean Ralston Dome (at OlymP-ic Emblem Wilk,s-Bam, that time, the fonner Ice Complex).

He chose not to accept the freedom he was offered and stayed in Amboland, where he died a tragic death. The scenery was perfect in its simplicity.

Well, not deep enough I guess because I was awakened by the sound of a sharp knock on my door. "Come in," I yelled from my bed, thinking it would be Ed waking me from a sound sleep as he always does. But there was silence. The door had not opened. I turned over to yell once more. Then I stopped. There was someone there. It was an ominous figure cloaked in black standing beside my bed. "Who are you?" I asked. "Ask me not who I am," said the figure, "but follow me and I shall show you the destiny of man." I agreed under the condition we would return in time to see WWF Wrestling Spotlight. He then led me out the door into another place. This place was unlike any other place I had ever visited. It looked sort of like a cylinder-shaped Howard Johnson's, like that factory that Mike Brady designed for Bebe Galini that was shaped like a lipstick. Anyway, he led me into this building, then onto an elevator. But the funny thing about it was that the elevator started on the top of this building and took us downward. "Why are we starting at the top?" I asked the figure as we began our descent. But before he could answer, the el- evator came to a halt. "This," "Hey," I said. "This is a men's fourth floor."

OFFER EXPIRES: 3/25/88 f I I I L---------------------------------------~--' A different perspective How I got that revi by Bill Barber My steady gal, Veronica, was away for the weekend and I was at loose ends. When the phone rang it was Bunny, my old stewardess girlfriend who flies all the hot spots between Roanoke and Honesdale on U.S. Air. She was on a lay-over in Avoca due to snow and was anxious for a little culture. I told her I had two tickets to Michael ONeill's production of Amlin Gray's "How! Got That Story." "Hnnng?" Bunny demurred. "Trust me, " I assured her. I picked her up at the Scranton Hilton and drove her to Wilkes. The lobby at Darte was abuzz with culture. We found our places and the show began. Suddenly we were plunged into Southeast Asia, circa the late '60s. A bamboo fence and a cascade of flats formed the simple yet effective set by Carl Ruling. The lighting was done by a robot named SCT 342. Bob Wachowski came on as an innocent war correspondent from the Midwest. And suddenly, there was Rob Johansen as a Coolie, there was Rob Johansen as a newspaper publisher, there was Rob Johansen as Madame Ng. I was flabbergasted by his infinite dexterity. I looked into Bunny's eyes. I looked right out her ears. "What's going on?!" Bunny whispered. "I don't get it." "Ssh!" I hushed her. ''I'll explain later." And there came Rob Johansen as a Marine drill sergeant swearing like a real trooper. Bunny giggled nervously. And there came Rob Johansen as five different people in five different bars, as a self-immolating Buddhist monk, and a madman reporter covered with slogan buttons and wearing a leg cast. Meanwhile, -backstage in the role of costume lady, the part of Michele Palmieri was effectively rendered by Michele Palmieri. When the attendant slide show announced intermission, Bunny and I made our way to the lobby. Bunny had a look of confusion on her face the likes of which I've only seen . on small forest animals. She asked me to buy her some M&Ms, and by way of making conversation in the line I asked her how she was enjoying the play. "I'm not sure," Bunny wondered, "but a lot of those actors really look alike." "All the parts are being played by Rob Johansen," I told her outright. "Even the reporter?" Bunny questioned. "No, that's Bob Wachowski," I told her. Then she wanted to know who played Madame Ng. When I finally, and for the last time, told her that Rob Johansen, versatile actor that he is, was playing all the other parts-- the various character roles opposite Bob Wachowski-- she seemed finally to understand. I bought her M&Ms and gave them to her. "Oh, I get it," Bunny said. "I guess Wilkes must have a really small drama department, hnnng? Were those the only two actors who auditioned?" One thing I can say for Bunny, her blouse fits well. I showed her the program: seven people in "Running Crew", three in another ten or twelve working together to the play. "You might say show is going on offered. Bunny shru should see what B does when she shrugs. "Well, how come Whatzizname only gctr one part?" she pouted.

Helping out in a soup kitchen and meeting some of the homeless people of New York will have a definite impact on those invohed with the renovations. The later part of the evening can be spent being educated about the homeless by guest ~peakers, or it can be used for personal time. There will be time for sightseeing, discussions, prayer, scripture, keeping a journal, and yes, FUN, too! The religious part of the week will be optional. When asked about the week of renovation, Vento replied, "I think it would be an eye-opening week. Everyone together at one time in one place can use the work of their hands and hearts. We can help others while opening ourselves to new things." Volunteers In Service In Our Neighborhoods (VISION) is a local group which provides shelter and support service for the homeless here in Wilkes-Barre. "Sleep-out on Public Square," the event scheduled for April 22-23, will be another experience hard to forget Meeting some of the homeless people you see around town, listening to informative speeches given about being homeless, and the actual experience of sleeping outside, will be · a unique way to learn about unfortunate people in Wilkes-Barre.

"Yes," said the figure, "It is I... Ed Moyer. I have something I'd like you to see." He handed me a paper. It appeared to be very old. At the bottom was a signature... Mine! Suddenly, I heard that same sharp knock again. I opened my eyes to find myself back in my bed once again. "Open up, it's me!" said a voice. I jumped up and opened the door. "Eddie!" I sighed in relief, "I just had the scariest dream!" "Calm down," said Ed, "you know that dreams aren't real." "I know," I said, "but...well, I guess you're right." "Sure I am," he said, "You're back in reality now! C'mon, lets watch professional wrestling!" "Okay," I said, realizing how fortunate we are to be able to recognize what is real. right here in Willces-Barre," says Vento. Sleeping on Public Square will educate the public that there is a problem with the homeless here in Wilkes-Barre. It will bring about an awareness of the need for a permanent shelter. The shelter presently provided for the homeless is only temporary. The site is moved weekly from church to church through out the city. Along with educating the public, the sleep-out will also be a fund raiser to benefit VISION. There will be simulation games about hunger and the homeless. Religious parts of the sleep-out will be optional. In Wilkes-Barre there is a soup kitchen, St. , Vincent de Paul, located on Union Street near King's College. It serves lunch for people with fixed incomes, the homeless, and the less fortunate of Wilkes-Barre, every day of the year. Approximately 200 people arrive for lunch every day. If students are not interested in the renovation or the sleep-out, but are interested in helping the homeless, the soup kitchen is looking for help. Fridays at 10 am students can meet Debbie Marquat, Wilkes College student, in Stark lobby at the desk. She goes to the soup kitchen every Friday to help prepare and serve food for the underprivileged, and she encourages other students to lend a hand. She stays in the kitchen from 10 until 12:40, and eats lunch with the people. If interested in the renovation or the sleep-out, students can contact Tony Vento at 8234168, or 822-6315. He will answer any questions concerning the homeless.

"Seven of the' games we lost were in the final minute of play. Hopefully we have learned how it feels to lose, and we won't want that feeling back, and w~'ll start and we'll be a better team next year." The season did have its bright moments though. The Lady Colonels pulled out an overtime victory against the Lady Monarchs of King's College in the Scandlon Gymnasium. "The most satisfying part of the season was probably when we beat some quality teams in King's and Marywood," Kest said. "Also, knowing that most of the kids will be back next season." Kest has a her own philosophy about success: "One's success is not always determined by wins and losses but by the way in which you grow from the experiences." to win." The hardest part of the seaon for Kest and her team was the losing, especially the close games. "It's really frustrating to lose as many close games as we did. We really played hard to the very end," Kest stated. "The hardest part for me w~ the losing. I'm not accustomed to losing. I've never been involved in a losing program and it gets frustrating. It was tough for the players to get motivated. I hope we all ew from the experience, had another stroke of bad luck when 150-pounder Joe Iannuzzi suffered a serious accident. "We used a lot of different guys, and after Joe got hurt I wasn't sure how it would turn out. But Mike Schroat had an exceptional year for us. Craig Rome jumped up a weight class and really made our middleweights solid," said Reese. Coach Reese has a lot to say about his two senior cap-tains, Dennis Mejias and Rome. Rome was the silent leader who led with example and always came through when called upon. But the defending EIWA Champion will have to make a decision as to which weight class he will enter. Reese added "I feel Craig will have a bette; -F----'l-=ooc:...r-'-'=--=h::...:.o'--c-=:k:.::e:::y:_::.::::_:::.:.:t:.:::::.~~i~.t*4M•·•·•M )~!l.thl1rH§HiHr~g1H\1H'aM~M .

Hats off to Matt off Brian Bauer for the 118 spot. Coach Reese feels that the AllAmerican can improve Mejias' performance from last year. Looking back on this season,_ the Colonels were a team that never gave up, always putting out 110 percent. The only bad match, according to Reese, was the victory over East Stroudsburg. "We were just ranked and the kids were afraid of losing the ranking," he said. Now it is time for Eastems and once again Reese is · optimistic: "We are a much better dual-meet team than tournament team." But in a tournament anything can happen and Coach Reese feels it will be a four-team race for the championship. There are four wrestlers that have a good shot at making it to Nationals. So it has been another banner year for the Colonel wrestling squad and hopefully Eastems will bring greater recognition to th~ Wilkes program.

"I of the freshman very hard to handle were losing so much. next year is going to tczak 1eeler hultz 236 estor 204 1ch get better," Kest stated. "Everyone will be back next year, but Diana (Smith). If we can get some key players, we can become a team that can be competitive." The only senior on the team was co-captain Diana Smith. Smith was a four-year starter and two-year captain. She led the team in assists for the past four years. Junior co-captain Melissa Kennedy put in another fine performance this season, leading the team in rebounds. She was second in scoring with 252 points. Eight of the ten players were freshman and new to the Wilkes program this season. Angie Miller and Nicole Kovaleski led the newcomers. "Angie started off slow, but from the middle part to the end of the season she really came through for us," commented Kest. Miller led the team in scoring with 335 points and was fourth m rebounding with 140. Kovaleski was hot in the mid-portion of the season but sustained an ankle injury in a game against King's and was forced to sit out the last six or seven games. She was able to net 204 points and pull down 141 rebounds for the Lady Colonels. Kelly Ruff also turned in a fine performance for Wilkes. She was the second leading rebounder for the Lady Colonels with 146 and fifth in scoring with 172. "Kelly is only a twoyear player and she really learned a lot this season," said Kest. Six-foot center Lisa Burak, a sophomore transfer student from Gettysburg, was also an asset to the team this year. "Lisa came through for us at the end of the season. She became a more aggressive and assertive player," Kest said. The Lady Colonels finished second in the two tournaments they played this year: St. John Fisher Tournament and The Wilkes College Letterwomen's Tournament. Five of the games lost were to teams that were ranked in the top ten.

It was a good game, with the Schloms giving the talented Tri Siam's all they could handle. In the beginning of the game, the quick play of guards Colin Mondero and Craig Stevens built an early lead for the Tri Slams. The Schloms battled back behind the shooting of Ron Fusco and Pat Breagle to stay close. With four seconds left in the first half, the Schloms held a slim lead, but Stevens went the length of the court to hit a buzzer beater giving Tri Slam a one point lead. The first onsugar 19 arusewicz aunders half was very intense and well- · played, but the high-light of the first half was Churba's thunderous dunk. The second half started the same as the first with Tri Slam running and gunning to build its lead. But the Schloms just wouldn't quit as they they battled back to make the score close. They couldn't overcome the Tri Slam lead, however. The Beacon congratulates Jim Byrne for doing an excellent job running the league this year.

First, it ended a banner dual-meet season for the Colonels, and second, it was the last sporting event to be held in the present gym. The Colonels finish the season with a 21-1 record. This ties with a school record. A host of past Wilkes wrestlers watched the Colonels close out the 1987-88 season with a hard-fought win over Ivy League champ, Cornell. The former Wjlkes wrestlers were on hand for the 35th Anniversary of Coach John Reese's coaching career at Wilkes. Brian Bauer continued his outstanding wrestling this season with an 11-4 decision over Eric Kauffman. The match in the 126 weight class was a shocker, as Cornell's Chris Labbate defeated Dennis Mejias by a score of 10-4. Putting forth a big effort for the Colonels, Ron Miller dominated Cornell's Salenno 22-7. The injury of Marc Palanchi forced Coach Reese to move wrestlers up a weight class. Colonel of the Week Freshman Dave Bonomo came through with a 6-3 victory at 142. Frank Castano lost in a heartbreaking match as an apparent takedown was disallowed, and he was defeated 7-6. Frank Goldowski showed no signs of a shoulder injury when he defeated Cornell's Joe Guciaardo 6-1. In the 167 weight class Merril Neal lost a tough 5-0 decision to Andy Rice. Mike Schroat continued his impressive wrestling as he. defeated Todd DcMonte 10-3. Craig Rome has probably been Wilkes' most consistent wrestler this season. The jump to 190 pounds for Rome on Saturday proved this as he recorded a technical fall over Bob Hart. Steve Schannauer capped off the victory for the Colonels with a 4-2 win over Jeff Farrow. Last Wednesday the Colonels traveled to Kutztown to take on the Golden Bears. Wilkes came away 37-7 victors. Bauer recorded a technical fall at 118. Mejias scored a pin in the 126 pound class, and Miller won by a major decision at 134. Bonomo continued his winning ways with an 11-4 victory. Neal recorded a technical fall at 167.

Well, ask anyone walking down Franklin Street today to describe the Wilkes College gymnasium and they will probably look at you and say, "What gymnasium?" All that remains of the Wilkes gym is a large pile of rubble and upturned land. I am the frrst to admit that I was skeptical about the razing of the gym. After all, various sources had been telling The Beacon since September that the gym would be razed in October. October came and went; the gym remained standing. Now, over four months later, the gorund has been broken and the new gym will soon become a reality. But how much the reality of the gyrµ will resemble the "Wonder Gym" is as yet uncertain. The problem with creating the Wilkes Wonder Gym can be summed up in one word--financing. President Breiseth said at the groundbreaking that as of this moment, Wilkes College is approxiqiately three million dollars short of the estimated 5.5 million dollars it will cost to build the gym. The Beacon has since found out that this shortage is covered by a bond issue--in essence, a loan that the College has five years to pay back. This is a substantial financial liability for the College, because it has to pay the money back, with interest. Even if the College is operating in the black, it is still a substantial amount of money that has to be budgeted for this purpose. In addition, The Beacon understands that at a recent faculty meeting it was reported that smaller, less important items such as the sauna, the new mats, and other odds and ends were in consideration of beiog cut from the plans. One wonders if this is because of the financing. The original bid for the gym was, after all, more than the College anticipated. Of course, students shouldn't complain. A new gym is a new gym, right? Perhaps not. With a project as large and costly as the gym, one might expect the College to have problems coming u with the considerable financing it would take to complete such a project. But the solution, when it becomes obvious that financing may be difficult, is not to begin cutting features from the new gym. This is especially true when one considers that the features are what makes the gym an improvement over the old one. Size alone, although definitely a contributing factor, does not a Wonder Gym make. The features were one of the main points that Wilkes College stressed when it announced the gym plans to the Wilkes community. How can these features be taken away now that the gym is this close to becoming reality? Perhaps Wilkes College should have set its sights a little lower. The College must have anticipated the problem with financing. Perhaps instead of trying to build th~s _image-boosting Wonder Gym, they should have concentrated on buildmg a gym that woul_d be_ a functional improvement . f~r stu?~nts' u~,. _taking into cons1derauon the means and contnbuuon-raismg ab1hues of the College. Yes, the gym did need improvement, but did Wilkes have to undertake such a weighty project as the Sports and Conference Center without the means to back it? . A reducti?n in sc~pe 1!1ay not have been feasible. With ta_lk ~f Wilkes becommg a umvers1ty, the school needs a gym that will fit that kind of image. It is vital to have a Wonder Gym before you can expect to have a Wonder School. But still, money should have been more of a consideration before the gym was actually razed. The second option would have been to wait. Build the gym once the financing was in, once Wilkes was able to realistically see the gym being finished with all of the anticipated features. The construction might have taken a few more years, but at least the gym could have had all the features that seemed so important when the project was announced. And again, all these problems are magnified by the College's consistent concern with image. If the only concern with the gym was the gym • itself, there would have been no problem with either scaling down the plans to fit Wilkes' means or waiting a sufficient time for the financing to come in. Instead Wilkes would rather raze the old gym and start a project that, in the long run, will place a considerable financial burden on the College. I am as happy as anyone to see the new gym being built. The facility is needed, and the students will certainly benefit from this edifice. But we must question the College's planning of this structure. Yes, the gym will be built, but only time will tell just how much the gym in progress will resemble the Wonder Gym. That · not moot 1s · the actual point is now moot. But a point that is development of this school. Campus improvement is important, but we cannot sacrifice sound judgment for the sake of image.

If wearing seat belts become mandato , and toonist-Jos vine" - a new law in P.A. punishable in a worse way than simply a fine, I would wear it," said Tom McFadden, a freshman from Reading, Pennsylvania. "I totally agree with the law 100 percent because it prevents the passenger from hitting the dashboard or . the windshield," said a freshman who chose to . remain anonymous. "I think wearing seat bealts should be a law because it is such a simple measure, and it could easily save your life," said Jen McNamara, a sophomore from Rhode Island "I think that each person should be allowed to wear a seatbelt if they choose to. However if they don't want to, they shouldn't have to. After all, it's their own life," said another student wishing to remain anonymous. It is now a law in Pennsylvania. Seat belts are required for the passengers in the front seat of the car, as well as the driver. A Pennsylvania state policeman told me that although "a civilian will not be pulled over because they are not wearing their seat belt, they will be fined if their negligence is caught. If they are pulled over for speeding, and they are not wearing their belt, they will be fined." Many people are not affected by the safety aspect of seatbelts. No one ever expects to get into a car accident, so why bother wearing seatbelts? The main point is one that has been said many times before: the other driver makes the mistakes, not you. Wear your seat belt to save your life from other people's mistakes. I still remember when I sat in my Driver-Ed class in high school. The teacher raved endlessly about the importance of wearing a seatbelt, but I never really heard him. I had heard it said so many times before. At that point in my life I didn't really care anyway. One day the teacher brought in a film to convince us of the importance of "buckling up." The film was very simple, because it merely showed a police officer in uniform pacing back and forth in front of the screen. "Let me tell you about the day I realized what the lack of a sealtbelt could do to someone," he said boldly. One day he was called to the scene of a very messy car accident. Two young girls, 18 and 19 years old, were driving through town on a Friday night when suddenly a car ran a stop sign and hit the driver's side of the car. When the police officer arrived, the passenger of the car, the 18 year old, was sitting on . the s1"d ew alk , hoId"mg an 1maginary doll, rocking and crying softly for her "mommy." The physical impact of the accident was so severe that it had comPletly destroyed her mental abilities. By the time the ambulance arrived, the girl was in a coma. She died a week later. The driver of the car had been killed instantly. The police officer was so disturbed by the accident that he said he cried for 4 days. He told the audience that the girls could have possibly lived if they had been wearing their seat belts.

Resulting symptoms are highly individual. Some of the symptoms include tingling sensations, numbness, slurred speech, blurred or double vision, muscle weakness, poor coordination, unusual fatigue, muscle cramps, spasms, problems with bladder, bowel and sexual function, and paralysis. MS can attack almost any area of the central nervous system. The local chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society is located in the Provincial Towers in Wilkes - Barre. According to Christine Patterson, local MS coordinator, the Wilkes-Barre office was set last year after a merger between the North Central Pennsylvania Chat.er ( Williamsport) and the Central Pennsylvania Chapter. When the new staff examined the Wilkes-Barre area, they found that a high percentage of people in Luzerne and Lackawanna Counties have been diagnosed as having MS and there were no local facilities to accomodate them. Local coordinators, such as Patterson, were brought to designated regions to help people find their way through the maze of medical, insurance, and governmental bureaucracies. These coordinators are avaliable to supply information about local MS programs and work directly with MS victims and their families to solve problems encountered as a result of the paralyzing disease. Patterson said that over 77% of these individuals have been displaced from jobs as a result of MS. The National Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society, founded in 1946, is the only non-profit health oranization in the United States supporting programs in national and international research to find the cause, prevention, better treatments and cure for people with multiple sclerosis. Over 140 chapters and branches of the MS Society have been created to serve people with MS and their families.

I figured what the hey, you never know whether The Beacon is going to come out, so I might as well take advantage of a pseudo-snow day. Actually, considering the shameful neglect over getting The Beacon • out on the stand last week, I guess everyone has lost interest in reading it anyway. So why bother with a column? See, I can get right into the old college spirit of Excuse Manufacturing right along with the best of them. Besides, if I did bother to write a column this week, which I didn't, I might have referred to some of the little in-con-VEENiences that the Missing Deadline Syndrom ("M.D.S.") has created. Like for instance, yesterday's --oops!--I mean last week's paper started right out with an editorial titled "A Lesson In Responsibility." Now, if I was going to write a column at all this week, which I decidedly am not, I would probably spend at least one whole paragraph discussing the irony of that editorial head- line. But I won't. I won't even mention irony, since I'm definately blowing off the column this week. This week? Check your calendar! Is it still March? Or did this issue come out in time for graduation? It's really best that I don't write a column this week because I would have to mention that Dr. Ernest L. Boyer's lecture: "A Celebration of Teaching" was very poorly celebrated by many Wilkes students because by the time they saw the announcement for it on Tuesday, it was a day too late to attend. Oh, well. What's a little screwup when a good excuse will do nicely? No, I've decided not to write anything at all this week. I just don't feel like it. My car is having problems, that's why. I had a ten-page paper due. My nails needed filing and I just couldn't ho~d a pen with my nails lookiag like that. Aren't excuses wonderful?

Well, not deep enough I guess because I was awakened by the sound of a sharp knock on my door. "Come in," I yelled from my bed, thinking it would be Ed waking me from a sound sleep as he always does. But there was silence. The door had not opened. I turned over to yell once more. Then I stopped. There was someone there. It was an ominous figure cloaked in black standing beside my bed. "Who are you?" I asked. "Ask me not who I am," said the figure, "but follow me and I shall show you the destiny . of man." I agreed on the condition that we would return in time to see WWF Wrestling Spotlight He then led me out the door into another place. This place was unlike any other place I had ever visited. It looked sort of like a cylinder-shaped Howard Johnson's, like the factory that Mike Brady designed for Bebe Galini that was shaped like a lipstick. Anyway, he led me into this building, then into an elevator. But the funny thing about it was that the elevator started on the top of this building and took us downward. "Why are we starting at the top?" I asked the figure as we began our descent. But before he could answer, the elevator came to a halt "This," said the stop." figure, "is our first The First Floor-- The door opened. There before us was a small town, as if it were scaled down from a real towm. In the distance I could see approching what appeared to be a parade. As it drew closer, I could see that it's participants weren't real. "What are they?" I asked. "They are evil muppets," replied the figure. "They are to parade through the streets of town until they tire." "But muppets aren't evil, and since they aren't real, they can't tire," I reasoned. "Exactly," said the figure, "Lets continue." The Second Floor-- The elevator doors slid open. There before us stood a man. He slowly turned around. "Hey," I cried, "It's Charlton Heston!" "Oops," said the figure, "Sorry, wrong Inferno!" We continued downward: The Third Floor-- The doors of the elevator opened for a third time. Before us was a huge banquet hall. In its center was a long table covered with the remains of a huge feast. . "What is so bad about this?" I asked. "Go into that door," said the figure. He pointed me to a door through which I went. "Hey," I said. "This is a men's restroom." "Thats correct," said the figure. In the men's room there were four stalls. Then, suddenly, the door of each stall swung open revealing the inhabitant of each. In the first stall was King Kong Bundy, and in the second, Hoss Cartwright In the third was the man/woman, Divine. "Who is in the fourth?" I asked. "See for yourself," said the figure. I peeked in to see who was inside. Then, I pulled back in · horror. "Oh no," I screamed, "It's Brian Dorsey, and no can of Lysol in sight!!! Please, please get me out of here!" "Come," said the figure. The Fourth Floor- "This," said the figure, "is the fourth floor." "Strange," said I, " This looks like the set of..." Just then the lights flashed on. The music blared. The crowd around us began to chant, "mort, mort, mort." Then, he appeared, Morton Downey Jr.! "Lets bring out my first guest Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Mr. Friedrich Nietzsche!" "Ack. Downey and Nietzsche in the same room! Get me out of here!!" I ran back into the elevator in a frenzy. The Fifth Floor-Before the doors even opened, I could smell a familiar smell. Then, the doors slid open to expose a strange land. The ground was gooey, hot, bubbling cheese (With our sincerest apologies to Dante) surrounded by spicey tomato sauce. "Hey," I exclaimed. "We are walking on a pizza pie!" Just then, I tripped over a head. "Sorry," I said . ."Who are you, and why are you here in this land of pie?" "I," said the head, "am the pie master, and I have been banished here forever without having committed a crime." "Don't sympathize with him," said the figure. "But he says he hasn't committed any crime!" I argued. "So he says," replied the figure. "Let us proceed." The Sixth Floor-"This shall be our last stop," said the figure. "But didn't Dante's Inferno have nine levels?" I inquired. "Well, we're on a budget," he confessed. Then, the elevator stopped. I breathed deeply and braced myself for whatever was to appear before me. The doors opened. "Wait," I said in puzzlement, "I think I have been here before." "Come, follow me," said the figure. He led me up a warped, linoleum-covered staircase and through a glass door. I followed as he led me into a narrow hallway that wound past various offices and bathrooms, until we came to an open door. "This," he said, "is our last stop." I turned the comer. Then, I remembered! My heart skipped a beat Here I was, at the root of my darkest fears. The breeding place of my nightmares! Hell on eri.

Showcase Theater to perform by Bill Zdancewicz Showcase Theater will present the Emmy-Award-winning play, "Twelve Angry Men," by Reginald Rose, on March- 10, 11, 12, and 13 at the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. ,Curtain time for each evening is 8:00pm. Play director, Jane Tomasetti, of Trucksville, commented that the plot centers around twelve jurymen who are charged with deciding the fate of a young man who is accused of murder. "Tempers become short," she said, "and the arguments grow heated. Characters, bigotries and personal feelings are revealed as the various testimonies are re-examined . . . and the murder is re-enacted," she added. Shown in the accompanying photograph, in a scene from the production, Joseph Salsburg, Associate Professor of Mathematics and Computer Sciece at Wilkes College, is shown, at far right, emphatically making his point to two of his · fellow jurors. · At left is Chris Tomasetti, and seated is Corey Klemow, both of Wilkes-Barre. Others in the cast include: Bill Owens, Kingston; Joseph Ristagno, Exeter; Jim Parks, Swoyersville; Mark Kahn, Dallas; Dr. Anthony J. Turchetti, Wyoming; Joseph Gilbert, Ben Tielle, both of Pittston; Ed Kay, Nanticoke; and William A. Zdancewicz, Edwardsville. Tickets to all performances are available from members of Showcase Theater. Also, they will be made available at the door each evening. Advance reservations are being encouraged due to limited seating in arena-style productions. Both performers and audience will be seated on stage at the Darte Center in that "Twelve Angry Men" is being done in "foursided arena" style.

He has just that many quality films in a row. · He is at the top of the standings among current actors, right along with Michael Douglas. It was often debated whether or not Ford could kick his Han Solo image. He has done so with blazing power. Films such as Witness, Mosquito Coast, and now Frantic, have put him in demand more than ever. In Frantic, Ford plays the part of an American doctor who travels to France in order to attend a medical seminar. He never makes it to the conference. Instead he goes on a frantic search for his wife, played by Betty Buckley of the 1970's hit TV series, "Eight is Enough," and the Broadway musical, Cats. Sh~ has been kidnapped and Ford has no idea why or by whom. The -0nly thing he knows is that his wife's suitcase was mixed up with another woman's luggage at the airport. That woman, played by newcomer Emmanµelle Seigner, has what the kidnappers are looking for in her suitcase, and they want it in exchange for Ford's wife. However, numerous twists and blunders keep die switch from taking place. Roman Polanski. directed this film. It's bloody at times much to the likes of his past sanguine film, Macbeth . His camera shots are masterful. This is partially due to, some of the locations he used in France. Watch for the shot of Ford standing alone on a bridge, in particular. It takes place near the end of the film. The scenery and the atmosphere make this shot an incredible view. Frantic is a pleasing suspense film, although it does tend to drag along at times.

I read the article with anticipation since I have a strong interest in student activites. I strongly agree that the groups on campus must unite instead of compete with each other for programs. That is why I feel that Col. Billings was totally correct in his charge to bring the students together through the Programming Board · and the Concert and Lecture Series. Too many people trying to put on too many programs will be very disappointing to all involved. Disappointment is not a goal for any programmer. However, I must disagree with the main tactic used in Col. Billing's charge. Formulating a list of potential speakers is OK, but there are better ways to go about it The speakers suggested in the article are very inviting, but most are way over our price range. The unfortunate part is th::.t most suggestions, once seen in writing, are expected to be signed, contracted, and here next month. It can't happen that way. For suggestions like those in the article to even be considered is injurious to any programming organization. Why? Because those incredibly high expectations are hard to live up to. Once David Letterman or Lee Iacocca are suggested, the probability of accepting anything less is like swallowing sour milk. "Hey, I thought you were supposed to get Letterman here!! What's going on, we asked for him, now you better deliver!!" The Programming Board can just as easily ask for a list of concerts that students want to· see. We'd get · back a ton of Springsteen's, Sting's and U2's on our list We would love to have them here, but we can't. It is not realistic. We must make use of the present budget to offer several low to mid- ranged speakers over the course of an academic year. One speaker of the ~aliber suggested in the article will put the entire budget in the hole by anywhere from $100 to $10,000. The Programming Board has an unlimited file of speakers that are readily available to come to Wilkes.

Top teams in wrestling, such as Oklahoma and Oregon, have come to Wilkes to compete. "All the Wilkes Opens are special events, people come from all over to participate," commented Reese. "At the reunion (Reese's 35th on February 27) a lot of the old wrestlers were here, they all said it would be hard to see [the gym] go bleachers similar to the ones in the old gym. "The actual competition space won't be bigger, so I hope to have the same kind of competition atmosphere. It won't be big and impersonal." The ~Id gym held many memories for Dean of Student Affairs Emeritus George Ralston. The old gym has a special meaning to Dean Ralston. "I drew the original plans for the gymnasium," He a weight class. Coach Reese felt all three did a great job and gained valuable experience for next season.

It was where we first met the students and where we last saw them." Even though the destruction of the old gym may sadden some people, ihe new gym's benefits will far outweigh the loss. "The new facility will have the biggest impact on the students of Wilkes College," stated Coach Reese. "All of the students will benefit. Everyone will have their own practice areas and there will be more room for recreation and intramurals. A new weight and wellness room will be great for the students at Wilkes. The new gym will also help in recruiting. The facility will be bigger and more impressive. It is also the first time Wilkes will have a wrestling room." The new gymnasium will have a noticeable impact for recruiting purposes. Reese explained that a lot of the high school students who are interested in wrestling are coming from high schools with much larger gym facilities then Wilkes presently has. "I don't think everyone realizes just how good [the gym] will be when it is completed," stated Reese. "For 38 years the gymnasium served the college." Dean Ralston stated. "It will remain in the memories of countless- students and faculty. The facility has greatly augmented and facilitated the educational program here at Wilkes." But, he says, "we've got to progress. n · doesn't meet the needs adequately of our educational efforts today. Students, current and future, need another facility that will better meet the needs of the times. New things are being added that we didn't have." Dean Ralston summed up the gym this way: "If we get as · much service from the new gym- \ \ nasium as we did from the old, the new building will be sustaining a tradition." According to these two people, it is clear that the structure that once stood proud and tall on South Franklin Street was a very special part of Wilkes College and its tradition. �March 10, 1988 Wilkes College Vol. XL Wilkes-Barre, PA 18766 No. 19 Rome and Mejias headed for Nationals Colonels finish fourth at Easter by Bill Kem wrestler he felt should have placed was Marc Palanchi.

The pressure off; it was much harder Colonel of the Week defending my title," commented Rome. Rome didn't have many problems in reaching the finals. In the first round he recorded a technical fall over Princeton's Jong Gluckow. In the quarterfinal match he defeated Navy's Ron Neff, 9-2. In the semifinal match Rome defeated Rutger's Tim Anderson 4-1. "I wasn't too worried about my competition, but the semifinal match was important because it assured me a trip back to nationals," commented Rome. Rome has been named number one at Eastems for three out of the past four years, and he has silently compiled one of the best records in Wilkes' history. Rome is very excited about his second trip to Nationals. "I feel more confident this year, more experienced and confident," Rome said, 'Tm going for it all!" If an award for determination were given out, it would have to go to Mejias. Although he placed second to the first-ranked 118 pound wrestler, East Stroudsburg's Jack Cuvo, Mejias showed everyone that he would be a force to be reckoned with at Nationals this year. "Dennis had a great tournament; he recorded technical falls over his first two opponents," stated Reese. Mejias's road to the finals started with consecutive technical falls over Harvard's Todd Cameron and Columbia's Chuck Boyle. There was a little irony in the semifinal match. Saturday's newspaper had an article · about Syracuse's Jirn Fussell, and in the article Fussell was quoted as saying, ''I'll have Mejias for breakfast and Cuvo for dinner." In the semifinal match Mejias jumped to a 7-0 lead, but let his emotions get in the way and got caught in a move. "I got anxious; I tried to take his head off and it made the match close," Mejias continued, "I got rude." Mejias went on to post a 10-7 victory over Fussell. Then came the rematch with Cuvo. Mejias probably wrestled his best match of the year, but poor officiating cost him the match. "Dennis outwrestled Cuvo, but the referee took the match away from him" stated Reese. Mejias started the match by taking down Cuvo, he then tilted Cuvo but the referee never gave Mejias any points for the move. "Dennis took down Cuvo, and that shocked me, then he turned Cuvo and no points were given," Reese related, "The referee did a terrible job because in his eyes that can't be done to Cuvo." Cuvo then scored four points on a questionable call to end the first period, taking a 4-2 lead. During the rest of the match Mejias was called for three potentially dangerous moves and Cuvo went on to win 6-3. Even though he lost to Cuvo, Mejias was happy with his performance. "I wrestled better than I thought, I kept my head together some things I usually take people down," c ♦ Mejias. But Mejias f~ referee would have called the outcome would different "I know I won; he didn't win the lost it," stated Mejias. Mejias will go IO for the third time and better last year's eig!G finish.

The Wilkes College theater department will present a children's play, "The Frog Prince," for local elementary schools on March 17th and 18th. The show, which is student directed and performed, will run at 10 am on both days, and about 800 grade school children are expected to attend. Michelle Palmieri, the dirctor of the show, chose the play as an independant study project. Palmieri, a senior theater major, is also in charge of the show's numerous props and costumes. The cast consists of Bob Wachowski as the Frog Prince, Maureen O'Hara as Princess Tavia, Ed Buonocore as Olaf the guard, Andrea J. Kochera as Nannycoo and Rob Johansen as the Snake. Johansen is also stage manager of the production. Dr. Michael O'Neill; theater director, is producing the show, and Karl Ruling is Technical Director. Scott Werbin is in charge of lighting. The production will be presented for the children free of cost. Palmieri believes that "The Frog Prince" will help children learn about theater and help those who are working on the show to better understand the concept of children's theater. According to Palmieri, the free production is "a good move to get children interested in theater at a young age."

Wilkes? Visitation Day took place this past weekend. The event gave prospective Wilkes College students the chance to look at the school, to see what Wilkes has to offer them. Watching the students mill around the campus on Saturday gave me a chance to reflect on just what those students visiting Wilkes mean to the school. It may be hard to realize, but each student who comes on this campus, who entertains the thought of coming to Wilkes-every student who does, in fact, decide to come here--has a chance to help shape the direction in which Wilkes College is heading. Many changes are in store for Wilkes over the next few years. These are changes that many of us, as students, will never see--for example, university status. These changes, although they will not play a direct part in our education, will play a direct role in the education of future Wilkes graduates. Why should this be important to us? Although ceFtainly our primary reason for attending college is to learn (right?), learning in the classroom should not be our only goal. When we consider our college education, just what do we believe Wilkes has done for us? Even more importantly, what have we done for Wilkes? Many times we answer these questions t~ quickly: -~ilkes gives us an education. We, in return, give Wilkes our tu1t1on money. And on a very basic level, that is the case. Perhaps this attitude is all too common, but it is not a healthy attitude. One of the most important goals of our education is ~o learn t~ interact with our environment and our society on a vanety of different levels. One of these levels incorporates the aforementioned point. Have we, as students, learned not only how to study and how to pass tests but also how to put this learning to use? Have we used our sharpened intelligence to add anything to the atmosphere--academic, social, cultural--at Wilkes? Or have we been the equivalent of collegiate slugs? This improvement of the atmosphere at Wilkes does not even necessarily have to come from any. great affection for the school. In fact, many times the mosvconstructive additions and changes m~de at the school come from a definite need, from a displeasure with the status quo. With all the changes administrators and boards are making, isn't it time that students thought about what they can add to Wilkes to make- it a better place for future students? Granted, student change is hard to motivate. After all listening to students isn't exactly top priority for those i~ command. We, after all, cannot donate vast amounts of money to the school to implement change. That fact, however, should not, and does not m~e our voice any less important in the shaping of the future of this _College. If you are displeased with university ~tatus, let someone know. If you think things need to be changed m the dorms, speak out. And if you don't want to speak out there is one thing that you can do to help shape the future of Wilkes College. Bust your butt and study--improve the academic atmosphere. Everything else is just so much window dressing. Yes, after graduation we leave Wilkes behind and enter the real world, but do we ever truly leave behind the impressions (even scars) that our ct>llege education leaves us with? Watching the students walk across campus I wondered what · these. students were thinking ' about the school. Were they focusmg on the lovely and beautiful surface of Wilkes College? No doubt Wilkes looks like one hell of a school. We are blessed with beautiful architecture, a gym-in-progress, a bell tower, improving development, the prospect of university status. That alone would be enough to sway some borderline students. But more importantly, are students coming here and thinking about substance? Are they asking the all-important questions: What can Wilkes, as a school, offer me? What can I offer it? Have we asked ourselves these questions? by M. E. Evers equipment would certainly be welc0me for gym dances or lunchc:ons. (I can only assume that's why a kitchen was planned at all.) Take it from someone who's helped at a few gym parties: the kitchen in the old gym was scummy, to say the least. And the divider curtain, white it seems at first to serv~ a somewhat Victorian purpose (why separate sexes in a co-ed gym?), would have had a more utilitarian purpose: two coaches shouting instructions at two separate teams which are playing with two sets of basketballs probably gets more than a little confusing. At least if the curtain were there, both teams could practice have to schedule practice each other. But the other ~ are being axed from the are the ones that really me.

Those parts being postponed are: wrestling mats, 15,000 bleacher seats, new weights for the weight room, a sauna, kitchen equipment, and a divider curtain to separate the gym during male/female basketball practices. These parts of the gym, according to John Reese and Dr. Stephan Tillman, will be added as soon as possible. The handball courts that were in the original floor plan of the gym are being completely eliminated. This is because the courts would cost $200-250,000, and also because they take up a lot, of space. The cost of the courts continued to rise when estimated, so they were no longer feasible. The Board was quite disappo_inted when it came to cutting Demolition of the old gym continues. the budget, but they felt it was something that had to be done.

The building will be great when it is done. I think students will be pleased. " Judge Flannery to speak by Dave Kaszuba The honorable J.

Guy/girl relationships at Wilkes by Rob Mac Arthur and Nancy Houtz "Sex and love, Guys play at love to get sex, and girls play at sex to get love," said Steve Bardsley. "Everyone wants the other to make the first move," said Mike Morgan. "College is the best time to get to know a lot of people instead of getting too serious about only one person," said Jean Rodeohko, a junior psychology major. "Most . guys and girls get along with each other. If there's someone you're interested in, it's usually easy to get to know the person because of the social environment," Marcie said Kreinces. "According to popular beliefs the woman has traditionally been the one who wants a longterm relationship and the man has been accused of being the one wanting the one night stands--but I don't think that really takes place anymore. Now it seems that relationships depend on the person or individual beliefs instead of the original stereotyping," said Pete Guinosso. "It's very casual," said Brenda Fyfe. Many people have complaints about the general atmosphere here at Wilkes. We decided to seek out a reason for this negative attitude. One possible reason we came up with was the social atmosphere.

Don't answer that question until you hear the sounds of Windham Hill recording artist, David Cullen. Cullen will weave his "magical spell" over Wilkes next Wednesday night at 8:00 in the CPA. This show is a special Wednesday installment of the Saturday night SubSet. Cullen is a 1981 graduate of the Hartt school of music. A year earlier he was a winner of the Connecticut Young Artists Competition. His New York debut was in the 1985 International Guitar Festival sponsored by the Anerican Institute of Guitar.

Escher explains, "The ideas that are basic to [the prints] often bear witness to my amazement and wonder at the laws of nature which operate the world around us . . . By keenly confronting the enigmas that surround us . . . I ended up in the realm of mathematics." The collection that will be in Sordoni shows a variety of his work ranging from his early days in Italy to his first "idea" drawings that he based on symmetry. The prints have been arranged chronological to "demonstrate the progression of Escher's ideas, although he often returned to an earlier theme for later image,'" said Sordoni director, Judith O'Toole. As you wander through the gallery you will see different types of art that can create a different idea to each person. As the art work is viewed, you can come up with different thoughts for every painting and it was apparent that many other people were coming up with their own ideas as they viewed them.

B.C. told The Beacon that he does most of the mixing for Ultrasound. He · explained that mixing requires a lot of work. "I measure how many beats per minute there are on records, then the records get categ6rized. We mix songs according to how many beats they have." When The Beacon asked B.C. if he considered himself a professional DJ, he replied, "No. When I get a full time job at The Woodlands, or some place like that, I will consider myself a professional. But I'm just as good as the well known DJ's, I just don't have the name yet" B.C. would like to have a dance party held Thursday nights on Wilkes campus. "My view of a dance party is the hottest night club music being played: high energy, some danceable top 40, and definitely city music." B.C. feels that a dance party is needed to liven up the campus. B.C. would like students surveyed to see what kind of music they want to hear. There is a variety of music in the world such as: jazz, rock, pop, dance, rhythm and blues, new wave, adult contemporary, etc.. "I want to do something at WCLH. Progressive music should not be the format at the radio station. It should be what the students want to hear." B.C. Beshore is a name to be remembered.

Claims he's bored. I went over to Miner Hall and found him sitting in the lobby staring at the TV. "Bernie," I shouted over the Mr. Rogers re-runs he was watching. "You can't sit here and watch kid shows all day like Don Semyon (sorry, Don!). Let's do something." "There's never anything to do at Wilkes," Bernie ~ighed. "Sure there is," I told him. "I'll show you.'' Bernie wasn't easily convinced, but I finally got him to get up off the couch and give it a whirl. I was trying to point out that there were a number of cultural events taking place on the Wilkes Campus this very week. "Like what?" Bernie asked. "Let's go over to the Sordoni Art Gallery," I suggested. "There's an exhibit of the work of M.C. Escher.'' Bernie didn't look too interested. "I hate art galleries," he said. "But, Bernie, I think you'll like Escher. He's really different. Sort of trick-of-the-eye kind of stuff; fish turning into geese, people going up these endless little stairways.'' We put our coats on and headed across campus, past the lovely new belltower that was chiming out Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. We got to Stark and went right up to the door of the gallery. Bernie looked nervous. "What's the matter, Bernie?" "I don't like art galleries, that's all," he said. "They make me feel stupid.'' Not wishing to make Bernie feel stupid, I opted for a different approach. "Okay, okay," I told him. "How about if we walk over to Darte. I understand Henry Taylor, the Pulitzer Prize winning poet, is giving a reading to- night." I was quite excited to see that Wilkes was hosting such a prominent man of letters who would be making himself available to students at a reception following the reading. Bernie and I walked back across campus past the belltower. The chimes were ringing out the andante cantabile movement of Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata. As we got to Darte, Bernie seemed to become apprehensive. "What's wrong now?" I asked as we got to the steps. Bernie had broken out in a cold sweat. "I hate poetry readings," Bernie said. "They make me feel stupid." He looked like a man who was about to give birth to a brick. "Alright, alright," I told him. "Jeez, you're not easy to please," I said. "Well," Bernie told me, "I know what I like." I have an idea. There's the new Wordsworth exhibit at the Ii- brary. "William Wordsworth and the Age of Romanticism," I told him. "It's running through Apirl 15." I looked at Bernie really hard. "You have had English 152, haven't you?" I asked. "You remember Tintern Abbey and all that?" "I hate to read," Bernie said. "Makes me feel stupid.'' We walked back across campus again. When we passed the bell tower, the chimes were peeling away at Rodgers and Hart's "Isn't It Romantic." As we got to the library steps, Bernie started to hang back. "What is it this time, Bernie?" I asked. "Libraries," Bernie said, hanging on to the rail. "They make me feel -- stupid." "No, Bernie," I finally said. "It isn't libraries, or books, or poetry readings or art galleries at all. It's you. You really are stupid!" "Well," Bernie said. "At least I know what I like."

"There of people here (junior college transfers, especially) from winning programs," added Bavitz, pausing to interject some motivation into the practice session. "Get that bat around," he bellowed. "That's eight swings, lets get somelxxly else in there." And the good old-fashioned hootin' and hollerin' continued amo,ng the apparently highspirited group he addressed. Bavitz then turned his attention to assistant coach Brian Gorski. . An outfielder for Wilkes from 1984-87, Gorski drew praise from Bavitz. "Brian's going to do a great job. He was a tremendous player - very smart -- and it should carry over to his coaching. He has a great rapport with the players." "It's great for me to stay involved with baseball," said Gorski, a fonner Nanticoke Area standout. "I really love the game, having played it nearly all my life." "The club's attitude is very good," Gorski continued, "If we stop giving up that one big inning and cut down on the mental errors, we can keep our pitchers in the game." Falling behind early was Assistant Coach Brian Gorski indeed a problem last year. Once the opposition scored a few runs in the first couple of innings, it was tough for the Colonels to bounce back. This season, with a renewed sense of hope and a large emphasis on fundamentals, the ady Colonels Io o k be competitive Martin begins his second bead coach of the Wilkes !nftball team with high agood season.

Melissa Kennedy, the leading hitter for the Lady Colonels last season, has returned and will play third base as well as catch.

Lori could fill the hole at the catcher's position. Angie Miller, a freshman infielder, will be able to help the Lady Colonels immediately at shortstop or third base. Michelle Toth, a lefthanded power hitter, will play the outfield. Krista Gromalski is a good all around player and shoul get some playing time at first bas and the outfield. Wendy Holden i "a hustler who hits the ball with power," according to Martin. Marti Brogan, says Coach Martin, i "improving with every practice." Brogan plays the outfield catches. "We are looking forward this season," says Martin. "Wear all anxious to get the season started." The Lady Colonels' season opens at "home against King's College on April 7. All their home games will be played on the main field at Kirb Park. team plans to improve upon its 7-15 record and 4-6 Middle Atlantic Conference record from 1987. Tom Salzberg, a righthander, should anchor the pitching staff. The 6'3" senior was 26 last year with a more than respectable 3.27 earned run average. According to Gorski, the won-loss mark is deceiving. "Tom is one of the top pitchers in the MAC. He's got great stuff but just failed to get the offensive support he needed." Wyoming Valley West graduate Eric Price, the team's first baseman and cleanup hitter, should prove valuable as a lefthanded hurler. A number of others are vying for spots in the rotation as well. Senior Bill Harries will probably handle things behind the plate. The catcher was third on the club with a .446 slugging percentage in '87 while belting two home runs. Providing stability in the infield is Mike Kolbicka, a shortstop from Hanover Area. The sophomore will most likely team with Bill Evanina, a transfer from Keystone Junior College, to fonn the double play combination. Both Brett Beshore and Rob Pietrzyk look to handle the third base chores. The left-handed Beshore is the - all-time leading hitter at Pleasant Valley High School, having compiled a .508 average. Pietrzyk, meanwhile, comes to Wilkes via Somerset County College, New Jersey. Outfielder Nelson Cantor, who hit .294 during his junior year, should provide leadership. Ken · "Shakin' Bakin"' Chakon, formerly of Luzerne County Community College, will be among the others to roam the outfield grass. When the Colonels take the field on Sunday, Coach Bavitz and his team hope that a blend of veteran talent and new faces, combined with an · intense desire to win and a genuine enthusiasm for the game, will yield some positive results. And from the looks of it, they're headed in the right direction. : IIB2i!~telID2i!Ilil ··············································•~· •• • ••• •• •• ™1.11Irt1:lln Sun. 20 Mon. 21 Wed. 23 Sat. 26 AIP>rri\Il Fri. 1 Sat. 2 Tues. 5 Wed. 6 Thurs 7 Sat. 9 Mon. 11 Tues. 12 Sat. 16 Mon. 18 Tues 19 Wed. 20 23 Sat.

So what Reese does is recruit wrestlers who have not reached their potential and give them a chance to become successful in the sport at the college level. Two prime examples are Dennis Mejias and Craig Rome. Just how much of an impact have Mejias and Rome had on the Wilkes program? The dual meet record for the Colonels over the past four years was 7814. Both have been starters since their freshman year and have set many records. Rome holds the record for most dual meet wins (70) and most dual matches (76), and is only the second Colonel wrestler to win two Eastern Championships. When Rome's outstanding career National bound Craig Rome and Dennis Mejias. comes to an end this weekend he ,;,. will finish in the top five in record for dual meet pins with year he was upset in sectionals. winning percentage with 91%. 21. The records speak for them- Coach Reese heard about Mejias Mejias is the only wrestler in selves; Rome and Mejias are from an alumnus but never saw Wilkes history to be a four-time going to be very hard to replace him wrestle in high school.

He is next season. unorthodox wrestler turned out to also the only Wilkes wrestler to Mejias was a New Jersey be a diamond in the rough. make three appearances at State Champ in his junior year "Dennis is the kind of kid that Nationals. Mejias also tied the of high school, but in his senior can wrestle with anyone because of his style, you never know what will happen," commented Reese. Always a fierce competitor, Mejias has achieved beyond his expectations. "I had a lot of big ideas and goals, but I never thought I would do as well as I have," he stated. Lehigh is always one of the major wrestling powers on Wilkes schedule, and that's where Mejias made his mark. "I never saw a wrestler put on a cradle and then somersalt," commented Reese. From that point Mejias went on to become one of the best Wilkes wrestlers on the mat; however, it is on his feet where he has become better. "I didn't try to change him. I tried to get 1pm better on his feet," Reese commented, "It showed at Eastems; he took every opponent down, including the number one ranked wrestler in the country." Mejias realizes that he wouldn't be where he is today without the guidance of Reese. "Coach has helped me 100%, and I have the confidence to go with anyone in the nation. He has given me a winning start in life and has taught me how to give that little extra," he said. This weekend Mejias will Steeber named to Rugby club opens all-star team season Saturday Jeff Steeber, a four-year starter as forward for the Wilkes College men's basketball team, has been named to the second team of the 1987-88 Middle Atlantic Conference Northern Division all-star squad. Steeber is an earth and environmental science major from Shickshinny, PA. Sttcber added his name to the Wilkes record books on January 13 when he scored his 1000th point in a game against Drew. He was the 13th Colonel in Wilkes history to make this achievement Steeber also had the honor of being · the 13th player at Northwest High School to score 1000 points. Steeber was cited for his accomplishments by the MA•:'. who named him Northern Division Player of the Week for the week of February I.

The Wilkes-Barre Rugby Club. is a local club composed of college athletes from Wilkes and Kings' as well as several residents of the city. The Breakers will hold practice Wednesday and Thursday nights at 5:00pm and all games are Saturdays at 1:00 pm. Practice sessions and home games are held at Kirby Park.

From my vantage point, teaching a section of thenew History 101 course which has been totally redesigned by the deaprtment, I am excited by the response of students to the materials we have chosen to teach. The thought and writings of Plato, Aristotle, Confucius, Buddha, and Jesus deal with issues of ~lues and ethics that are immediately relevant to the lives of students. While I have not taught in any of the oilier newly designed core courses emerging in our curriculum, I am heartened by tlle strengtll of this new effort in my departemtn as a symptom of what is happening across campus. The excavation for the new Sports and Conference Center makes us realize that tllis longtalked-about project is really underway. By tlle time this semester ends, we should begin seeing the new structure rising on the site of the old gym. I continue to beleive that this building will provide a -..lVhole new sense of Wilkes, befitting the quality of human effort that has long been our legacy. With regard to public comments about the financial risks involved, I would report that the capital campaign is indeed ahead of its projections at this stage in the campaign, according to our Marts & Lundy consultants. The Board and staff committee working on the campaign under the leadership of Tom Hadzor is in high gear, and we have every reason to be optimistic about raising salaries and student financial Continued on p. 4 �April 7, 1988 PAGE1WO A pawn in their Editorial A college of our ambition Watching When I picked up the President's memo this week, I could only sit back and admrre the pretty phrases and glittering reassurances that he passed along to the Wilkes ·college ~?mmuni_~ - That is where the admiration ended. Throughout the memo, I searched for one defimuve dec1s1on, one open, frank, and honest declaration of what the future of Wilkes College looks like, or what might be in store for the College in the coming year. . What I found instead was merely a reiteration of what Breiseth !)as been saymg all along, although perhaps not always so directly: the image of Wilkes College is growing by leaps and bounds, and everything we do, every change we make, pushes us further and further up the ladder of success. The message is perhaps not quite so blatant as I have s_tated it, bu~ it is there_. It _is, ho_wever, cloaked in that sense of community that is supposed to bnng the entrre school m lme with the thoughts of the President. In the memo (which is reprinted on the front page) ' the Presid~nt "tackles" every major issue that may have been nagging you, nibbling at the back of your m~nd since September, and if you happen to make it through the four pages, you come away fe~lmg strangely unfulfilled. Rightfully so. This memo may ostensibly see~ to answer your questions. It is, in fact, nothing more than the President's reassurance--more to hlffiself than to any members of the College--about major issues. There are reassurances about rising enrollment, reassurances about the gym and its financing, reassurances about university status, reassurances about faculty salary, reassurances about the budget. We are reassured to death in lhis memo. The reassurance begins in full force with the main issues of this semester--the gym and university status. The gym/Sports and Conference Center is a perfect example. The Pres_ident writes, "I continue to believe that this building will provide a whole new sense of Wilkes, befitting the quality of human effort that has long been our legacy." And all this time you thought that all the new gym meant was a better place to play basketball and hold dances. No, no, the gym is going to give us a sense of ourselves as a college--a sense that "befits". us. Not only has the gym been touted as an important new building, but it has now been raised to a monument of our "collegeness." Something about this logic is faulty. And if this wonderful new building is going to give us a "whole new sense of Wilkes," why would we even consider changing our status from college to univeristy, another issue that the President manages to whitewash ·his way through during the course of the memo. Breiseth insinuates in an aside that Wilkes, if it does apply, would almost certainly be accepted for university status. Essentially, the President reduces the change to university status as a way to "convey the richness of the Wilkes curricula and the wide variety of options at both. the undergraduate and graduate levels." This in ar,d of itself isn't so hideous, but when the President continues on to write that the university status "would strengthen us to carry out this mission of service" we can almst believe that there is no other decent reason for changing the status except for that very same word status. Our "mission of service," whatever that ambiguous phrase may mean, is not going to be strengthened by a change in name, not unless this change in name _is preceded or followed by changes in the curricula, in the manner in which the College is run, and m the overall attitude here at the school. But all of this is elementary. The President wants the College to be a university. The President supported the construction of a bell tower; there was oppostion. The bell tower stands. The President wanted a gym; the community has been against it. The gym is under construction. Why should university status be any different? We can debate about the issue all we want. The point, as far as I am concerned, is moot. I suggest only that you read the memo for yourself. Read about the "major committrnent" the Board is making to enahance salaries for faculty . Read about the monumental decision that must be made as to university status. Read about the "sure-thing" financing for the gym . Read, quite briefly, about faculty merit raises (perhaps the best kept secret on campus). Then wait and see-will Wilkes College stop hiring ten adjuncts to every one full time professor? Will Wilkes College become Wilkes University? Will our professors still be evaluated by what is proving more and more to be a· faulty system? Will the gym ever have all of the promised features? Perhaps the line that sums the ludicrousness of the memo best is used in the context of bringing students to Wilkes from a broader geographical area: "This in tum will enhance our capacity to improve our physical plant and to provide the kind of salary and financial aid su~port that is crucial for a college of our ambition (my italics)." Throughout the memo, the President turns such phrases as "sense of Wilkes" "strong and vital Wilkes" "vibrant Wilkes" "struggle to defme Wilkes." The only thing the President has managed to define is what some of us knew all along: the essence of Wilkes College isn't any of the glowing generalities that are thrown so casually around campus. Ambition, mixed with just the tiniest bit of status and image, is what seems to drive the powers that be here, instead of genuine concern. It seems to me that the defining process--the self-study, if you will--is far from over. -m:bt 1.ftlta:con VOL.

Which is why this Tuesday, like every Tuesday, saw me wandering into The Beacon 's palatial abode on the third floor of the Student Center in search of someone with an idea for me. I was greeeted with a cheerful, "Oh, no, it's you again," and made my usual weekly plea, "Hey, you got anything for me to write?" One of my cigar-chomping colleagues tossed me a pack of papers. "Here. Read this; no one else wants to. See what you can do with it. You might even find something to write about in it." I grabbed it excitedly and trotted off to my Macintosh.

In fact, the Williams bus line, which makes three runs daily, is the only rcliabk transportation service to and from Mountaintop aside from calling a taxi or getting a ride from a friend. Besides, few people feel comfortable using public transportation they want tht;ir own car. What's wrong with that? Nothing. But, when thousands of vehicles are jamming the streets and parking lots, parking becomes a definite problem. Now the city must admit it has a problem. Wilkes-Barre is in a bind. The city council, scorecwners and entertainment places want people to come to town to bring money into the city. People flock to places like the F.M. Kirby Center, Wilkes and Kings' Colleges, Boscov's and the Station in the "Valley with a Heart" seeking fun or education. When the large crowds finally come~ iate arrivers complain and grumble because they - always have trouble finding adequate parking nearby. Will ticketing all the improperly parked vehicles induce people to take more caution when parking their vehicles? In a convenience-oriented s0ciety where most people want to go, get what they want and leave, the city may be asking too much. Most of the same people who are ticketed over and over simply don't care if they get a ticket or not. No matter how many tickets are issued, there will still be illegal parkers because there just isn't enough room to park. As long as there are people, there will be problems. How will increased ticketing affect Wilkes? At a school like Wilkes, to which people travel from some distance for an education, there will always be some people who park wherever they can to run to lJ. 9 o'clock class. As more people are attracted to the college, more guests and need an English instructor or two, but it doesn't need an interpreter. Next, how do you feel about the phrase "a more and more vibrant Wilkes?" Makes me think of laundry detergent. Doesn't Tide promise more vibrant colors and whiter whites? Even though I think the College sometimes white-washes the truth, · I never thought they'd admit it as plainly as this! See if you can . find the problem in the next sample: "The excavation for the new Sports and Conference Center makes us realize that this long talked-about project is really underway." No shit. I thought the excavation was really a moon crater, and the vehicles were moon vehicles. Do you mean they started construction? I didn't realize until I read this memo. How unobservant of me. Page four of the memo boasts a veritable plethora of ugly usages. Did you know that Wilkes is a small- to medium- size university? Does that make Penn a "family size" university? Is Penn State a "giant size" university? What about Harvard? "Econo-buy?" (The laundry metaphors, you'll notice, are abundant in this l!lemo. I think I'm on to something here!) The President states that he finds a certain perspective on education "increasingly compelling." I find this statement increasingly confusing. Is it just me, or does it sound like he's comparing higher education to a Stephen King novel? What about the phrase "personally immersed in the issues of the reform of teaching"? Swimming pools you can be immersed in--personally or otherwise. Likewise bathtubs or vats of jello. But issues? Not unle:;s you're sitting in a mass of shredded memos on said issues. Finally, what are "disci;-:>linary majors"? Every time i tried to puzzle this out, I cou!c:. only come up with an im2<;,, either of a child being spt~ ·'·:,::d or of something out of a,~ .:i ..1 M flick. "Wanda Whips V:i'~:,::s," anyone? Th,,t's it. I'm sure I could find more if I read through it again, but I'm already laughing so hard I'm crying. And for thos~of201!....who think I'm just quibbling with language, think about this: the President states that his feeling " . . . has been that the change in title [from College to University] would strengthen us to carry out this mission oI service." So if three little extra letters can effect such a great change in Wilkes' ability to serve its students, doesn't it stand .to reason that these little "language abominations" can affect Wilkes' image drastically? So you see, I'm not quibbling. I'm helping the College polish its image. Really. But you'll have to excuse me; I've got to go. I'm going to find some rhododendron and wait for them to bloom. ---------------- 24 Hour Notice Required PARTY HEARTY gible) v1s1tors will also have trouble finding a space near the college.

Subsequently, as a result of a very informative meetin~ with Dr. Robert Kirkwood, the Executive Director of the Comm1ss1on on Higher Education of the Middle States association, I have . been persuaded thast we should not spend undue time on this question nor should we allow it to drive our self-study. While the issue is of symbolic importance and will have consequences now whichever way we decide, Dr. Kirlcwood urged us to resolve the issue one way or the other and get on with the self-study. He did not take a position on university status nor even hintat his advice on what we should do in that regard. He made these suggestions to a group of trustees and the generally favorable response to his presentation made me conclude that we had everything to gain in discussing this issue this spring and bridging any recommendation that comes out of these discussions to the May 12-13 Board meetings. That is the timetable we are now working on, and I have had extensive discussion with Bill Stine as well as with George Waldner and others of the administrative team to carry out the discussion over the next month and a half. . Let me be quite personal. I have been persuaded for some time that the advantages of making this change of status outweigh the disadvantages. As we struggle to convey the richness of the Wilkes curricula and the wide variety of options at both the undergraduate and graduate levels for students a Wilkes, my inclination has been to see what the word university in the context of Pennsylvania higher education would more effectively convey the Wilkes that actually exists than our present appellation of college. Moreover, in our role as a major institution of l:tigher education serving the Wyoming Valley and status becomes Northeastern Pennsylvania, the alternative.

There is no more honorable word in the lexicon of American higher learning education than "college."

M, i ~ ·• •••••••••••••• �Green-Away a green Ii ght by Mona Lott The construction of a fishpond and wishing well are part of Wilkes College's recently initiated Green-Away Program. By 1994, if the comprehensive, ongoing project proceeds as planned, the entire campus should be covered by concrett:, macadam, or asphalt. By getting rid of all grassy areas, as well as trees, shrubs, and flower beds, the cost of maintaining the grounds will be greatly reduced. Additional benefits to the College are severalfold. The college will no longer play host to insects such as bees and ladybugs, thereby reducing the risk of painful stings or bites to students. Additionally, students will be submerged in an atmos phere conducive to modem learning without the distraction of such staples of nature as plants and animals. Squirrel traps and high voltage bird zappers will keep these annoying pests from entering the concrete sanctity of the campus. The fishpond will be located in the empty lot between the belltower and South Street. It will measure 6 yards across at its greatest breadth, and will gently slope to 5 feet at its deepest point. The elliptical pool will be bordered by a broad stone walkway so that people may stroll around it's perimeter. Floodlights will be installed for the protection of those who wish to strcll at night. The pond will be stocked with vinyl , all- weather fish that are "attractive dean of student affairs.

I believe that both I've seen the light: Wilkes by M. E. Evers Yes, brothers and sisters! Yes, friends, family, and significant others! Yes, all de little chillun of Ge world! I have seen the light! I have seen the light and it -was revealed to me while I was reading a National Enquirer article about Jimmy Swaggart! And the light said to me, "M. E., M. E., repent your evil ways! Repent your evil thoughts about the belltqwer! Repent all the nasty things you've ever said about this beautiful institution in your column! Repent, and atone for your sins, and be SAVED!" "Oh, light," I said, "You've shown me the light and I believe in the light! But . . . what is the light? I mean, it looks a lot like an Eveready flashlight to me " "Silence, mere mortal! None of your flippancy! The light is the light of higher learning that burns brightly in all the hallowed halls of Wilkes College! This is the light whose existence you have denied! Believe in the light and repent, or perish in the everlasting flames of the particle accelerator in SLC!" I didn't need a second to think about that one: the light had already convinced me that I had been lost in the dark wood of error. "Oh light, how can I repent for my sins? I changed my mind; I was wrong; I really didn't mean all those ugly things I said about the College. Wilkes is a beautiful, beautiful place-with a veritable plethora of learning experiences for all! And the belltower is a wonderful architectural structure--a marvel of art and technology!" "Not bad," commented the light, "but that's easy to say," he continued. "What are you going to do about it? We here in the Church of the Everead-oops, I mean, Everbuming Torch of Intellectual Light and Personal Fulfillment· require that you show some proof of your conversion and dedication to the College before you can . become one of • the fishpond and the wishing well will have positive effects on Wilkes as an institution dedicated to higher learning." A source within the GreenAway group reported that several projects are already planned for the near future. Topping the list is the creation of much-needed parking space by constructing a multilevel parkade where the River Common now is. "The park, which is not very nice anyway, is a small sacrifice for such a wonderful structure as a bland, grey parkade," claims Honey C. Menn, chairperson of the GreenAway Committee. Another project in the works involves the creation of an Olympic sized hopscotch court between the SUB and the Evans alumni house. The athletic department jumped at the chance to initiate an intramural hopscotch league. "It's not just for kids anymore," said recentl)' hired director of fun and games, Maude-Lynn Shrowd. The group is split on how to use the land between the belltower and the library. One faction feels that a much-needed heliport could be put in. Opponents of this say that the heliport can be installed on the roof of Stark and that this area should be used to showcase a recently acquired work of art. An eight and a half-ton sculpture, carved from one huge lump of anthracite coal, by reknowned Wyoming Valley sculptor Ima Miner, is an "abstract representation of the birth of IS the faithful." "Oh, please, I'll do anything! Anything! Walk over hot coals! Stand in the top of the belltower when the chimes go off! Listen to tape-recordings of any speech the President ever made at any College function-over and over!" · I screamed wildly. "No, we've thought of something that will utilize your unique talents--not only showing us the strength of your conviction, but making good use of your talents, as well. . . we want you to write propag--oops, letters to prospective students telling them how valuabl~ you have found your experiences at Wilkes." "Yes, spirit, I'll do it! I'll do anything for the glory that is Wilkes and the grandeur that is the belltower! I just want to make up for all those evil things I said about the school! Never again! I will tum my column from the festering wound of annoyance it has become into a source of joy for all members of great! the Wilkes community! "And more than that, spirit! I want to continue my atonement after graduation! I'm going to Carler .

The film starts in Philadelphia where Rocky has been institutionalized at an old age home by his wife. This occurred after she asked him what he wanted for breakfast and he replied, "Yo Adrian, come sit on my plate." He ttien proceeded to punch her in a multitude of areas. So Rocky got wheeled into the institution and Adrian married Mr T. Soon afterwards, Adrian and Mr. T adopt Hays and Tays (played by Coleman and Lewis).

Wilkes has already been granted permission to move to Division I. With the players who have already requested a transfer to Wilkes it was the University's only move. Just this morning Head Basketball Coach Ron Rainey met with J.R. Reid former standout star for the University of North Carolina. Reid will be joining the Colonels basketball team in September. Several other standouts have also transferred to Wilkes. Joining the Wilkes basketball squad will be Sean Elliot (Arizona University), Jerome Lane (Pittsburgh) , and Mark Macon (Tenfple). The women's basketball team has also been inundated with numerous players. Reports from the athletic department are that many other top ·notch athletes have been turned away because of the overflow. The n·umber of basketball players, both male and female, has drastically increased since Wilkes' announcement of switching to Division I. Sources from inside the · athletic office say that the flood of athletes is directly related to the new Sports and Conference Center. "Ever since the new Sports and Conference Center has been built the request from athletes already attending major colleges and universities to transfer here has been phenomenal," said a source from within the athletic department who requested not to be identified. "Our only alternative was to request a switch to Division I. Now that has been granted we can go $ead and accept Reid's, Elliot's, Lane's, and Macon's transfer applications. Four · secretaries have been hired in the athletic office just to handle the phone calls from all the prospective athletic candictates. Attempts to contact Coach Rainey liave failed. Sources close to the coach report that he is still in shock over the events of the past weeks. Jodi Kest, the women's basketball team head coach, couldn't be reached because she is currently in Alabama at Auburn University meeting with Mae Ola Bolton.

Besides comedy, Reed professes to be an expert in basketball, juggling, and improvisation. The Hartford Advocate says about Earl Reed that "he has a .dynamic, multi-faceted approach to comedy." The Sunday Post says, "Reed's act showed a good sense of timing, and he had a wide-eyed innocent look: mat worked well with his material." And J.T.

Rumor has it that Reed did a three hour show -- one of the longest on record -- to a capacity crowd at Lehigh University. So, we might be in for a long, funny night. The only thing left to do is show up at 8:00 for the opening act -- Central City Nite Flite - then sit back and laugh with Earl Reed.

So far at she has completely relied on the scholarship money. Judy's next .goal is to win Miss Pennsylvania, and after that she would like to try for Miss America. The past two winners of the Miss Pennsylvania .contest were each a former Miss Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton. She will have to compete against 22 other winners of area pageants for the title of Miss Pennsylvania. The winner of Miss Pennsylvania receives $15,000 scholarship money. That is exactly what Judy is working for. Judy had never been to a pageant before that, and she didn't expect to win the crown. She felt the competition was difficult because all the other girls involved were more experienced. The crowd thought that her performance was wonderful.

Galbraith, 80, served as deputy administrator of the Office of Price Administration in the early 1940s and was a principle figure in organizing the wartime system of price control, which he headed until 1943. He later held other public offices and was awarded the Medal of Freedom by President Harry S. Truman. Galbraith traced major economic movements through history. "If we do not know our history, we are doomed to repeat it," he said. He began with the issue of slavery -- a social, economic and religious problem of our early capitalistic society - and continued up to the problems of unemployment and inflation in the 80s. .

As a wide range of pro- �April 14, 1988 PAGE1WO A pawn in their 2ame Editorial Faculty involvement vital Enrollment, the bell tower and Joolcor This week's issue of The Beacon features a short question and answer section in which faculty members were asked to respond to how they felt they were treated by "the boss" (i.e. the administrators) here at Wilkes. This section brings out a valid point: many times the views of the faculty here are not taken into consideration, or their views are never voiced because of the fear of political retribution. Yes, there are faculty meetings, and the Faculty Grievance Committee, and the committee process in general. Certainly individual faculty members can talk to the President or other administators privately, but overall, faculty participation in the operation of the College is severely limited. Some would argue that faculty members are here only to teach. How the school is managed should not concern them. Is there any validity to this statement? True, not all faculty members are trained in adminstrative skills. Admimstrators are trained to manage, and with this management comes a certain amount of responsibility and power. It is when the power that administrators are given becomes concentrated, and they are unwilling to distribute that power evenly, that problems arise. In this case, faculty are refused a voice in issues that directly affect them, such as merit pay, the hiring of adjunct professors, and university status. These are issues that it is not only sensible to give faculty members a chance to address, but necessary. After all, just as ali faculty members are not aware of the intricacies of management, administrators are not the authority on instructing students or the autthority on the best interest of the faculty. It would seem that abuse of power has become a problem at Wilkes. The most notable way in which the administrators are taking advantage of this power is in the clandestine manipulation of faculty members. Ideally, a faculty member should be assured that if he expresses a view that "clashes with that of the administrative view that there will be no retaliation, either direct or indirect, against his actions. Judging from the hedging answers The Beacon has received on touchy issues, and the reluctance of many faculty members to go on the record with information, this retaliation is a very real threat. Although the President assures the faculty that their _views can be heard, there are administrative pressures that prevent faculty from speaking their minds. If a faculty member has a grievance against a policy change the College is making he is, in fact, taking a risk in speaking out. If the faculty member is untenured the risk is obvious--he can jepordize his opportunity for tenure by stepping on the wrong toes. For tenured members of the community the risk is less obvious. The powers that be have to work harder to make their dissatisfaction known. This can take any of a variety of forms: refusing orders for goods, giving the faculty member a too heavy, too light or not challenging enough work load, cancelling (by covert means) classes a faculty member is teaching. In any case, a faculty member stands to lose from speaking his mind. The question that remains is not how the faculty can get the administrators to listen, although this is important. The real question is how to get the administration to share their power with the faculty in those areas that require faculty input. The answer is complicated by the fact that the adminstration seems to give the faculty little more than "window-dressing" input. In the face of administrative stonewalling, the solution to this problem must originate from the faculty. The Beacon proposes a three-point solution. First, the faculty must organize to present a strong, unified front. The administration would be more receptive to a larger, more cohesive group than they would to small, fragmented factions. Seco_nd, the group must negotiate with the administration for the nght to participate in college policy making. In affairs that dir~ctly affect the academic atmosphere of the College or the faculty m general, the faculty should be an integral part of management, not just a corollary to that management. And finally, the faculty has to insure the safety of its members. Any faculty member should have the right to express. opinions that oppose administrative policy without fear of retribution, perhaps through a set of enforceable guidelines. Political strongarming is unethical, and does not promote a healthy cooperation between members of the administration and faculty. It makes sense for members of the faculty to be involved in the management of the school when it directly involves them. But this involvement can only be achieved through a cooperation between the faculty and administration. Once this cooperation is ac hieved, it will not only generate a more effectively fuunctioning institution, but will generate the kind of attitude that is vital to the fulfillment of Wilkes' communal goals. by M. E. Evers Wilkes? Don't ask silly questions. The College always says it expected enrollment to increase next year. It didn't specify enrollment of humans .

Intelligence was measured by who was in power and in terms of the government then in control. After encountering so much bureaucracy, Galbraith said that he began to notice something happening in certain industries - people were beginning to resemble the products they manufactured. Remedies have been as painful as the disease of stagflation itself. Galbraith said that cutting the budget weakened the basic industry, caused farm disaster. higher unemployment rates and a heavy international trade deficit. Although he said he did not befieve that there is any magic in monetary policy, he was not against cutting the budget where necessary . This would apply to programs involving technological advancements but not Lo many social programs. He said even if the national budget is reduced, minorities lik~ the elderly, farmers and minimum wage workers should be protected. Galbraith was hopeful for the future of the US economy. He paralleled last year's stock market 'Crash to the crash of 1929. Although there were some rough years following the crash, he said, the market trading did A pilgrimage to reverse the Arms Race improve. He said that since we have social programs available and a good banking system not present in the 20s, recovery from the latest crash should be easier. When asked what presidential candidate he would support, he replied that, as a rule, he always supported friends and that Gov. Michael Dukakis was ·a friend from his home state of Massachusetts. Galbraith's visit was organized by the Jewish Community Center of Wyoming Valley, in cooperation with King's College, College Misericordia, Luzerne County Community College, College Misericordia and Wilkes College. Representives of Wilkes at the student question and answer period at the news conference held prior to the lecture were: Anne Humphrey, West Pittston; David Tevet, Kingston; Nagwa Taylor, Kingston; John J.

But , was that enough? People need to make a statement about peace, and college students are planning a two-week peace walk to reverse the direction of the Arms Race. This walk will be aiming to halt the progress of nuclear testing. The march will go through many east coast c1 ties. the east coast being the most densly populated part of the country. By marching, the peace message will be brought to the thousands of people who will be encoun-tered, as well as those who will later read about the walk. Petitions will be given to Congressmen along the way to urge them to demand legislation to slow the arms race. Workshops and presentations will be pro-vided to educate those involved about the arms race. There are two phases of the walk: New York to Philadelphia, May 23 to May 29, and Philadelphia to Washington, May 29 to June 5. One has the option of walking in one phase or both phases. The walk is sponsored by many peace groups and religious groups on the east coast. On the national level, it is supported by United Campuses to Prevent Nuclear War. This is the fifth annual pilgrimage. It will begin Monday, May 23, at the United Na-lions in NYC, and seven days later the walkers will arrive at Indepen-dence Hall, Philadelphia. The final phase will end in Washington. A fifteen minute VHS video cassette of previous peace walks, or a set of 105 slides with a 12 minute audio tape, are also available. The deadline for registration is April 30. Food and indoor lodging are available every day. The average daily distance covered is 12 miles.

So often the voice of the teacher goes unheard, so I thought it was time to change that. All names are withheld to remove any fears which · may cause teachers to alter genuine answers. Here's what tliey said: "The administration seems not to care about the desires or opinions of the faculty. Faculty are told that we have input into various decisions, but, actually, we have none. The administration is riot nearly so aggressive in improving the abysmal salaries and horrendously inadequate benefits of Wilkes faculty members." "It's about the same as at other schools. Now, state schools are a different story. There have been substantial improvements in the past year." "My impression is that they are fairly sensitive to the faculty needs." "I'm only part-time, so I don't have to deal with them too much." "I never feel treated by the administration, I deal with them. I'm an equal partner in the operation of the school. " "The word I would use is CHEAP. We arc treated like we are cheap, like the peripheral part of the college." "I chink I'm treated pretty well for a part-time teacher." "I can only speak for myself, and I would say that we are treated with great respect by both the administration and the students -- it doesn't pay very well, but we get treated like kingl Our resources are limited. There are all kinds of things that aren't right, but Wilkes is a good employer." "I think we could get more credit where credit is due. We don't get the nice pat on the back that we should get at times." "It's tough for me to answer, I'd better pass." "Badly. This past week an administrator fired the chairman of the education department. The chairman of the education department has been chairman for many years. The administrator has been at Wilkes for four months. Clearly, if the administration does not like what a teacher is doing, they will retaliate." "Salary-wise, Wilkes falls below the national average. But there is a lot more to teaching than economics, such as adequate facilities, class size and equipment. We try to keep class sizes small, but equipment and facilities are not what they should be." �P~ 'EFOUR April 14, 1988 • to give address on peace Want Ads: Bishop The Beacon seeks talented individuals with wntmg skills to fill editorial positions of Editor-in-Chief, News Editor, Feature Editor, Sports Editor, Copy Editor, Photography Editor, Advertising Mana~ec and Business Manager.

They watched a van and a car full of clean, Well-fed college students unload in front of a neglected four story structure. The students stood on a street filled with rubbish in front of the grafitti-covered building which they would inhabit during their spring break. They knew they had a great deal of work to do, so they took a deep breath of New York air and entered the building. The sight and odor inside the building were worse than on the street and some of the students gasped. The grafitti did not stop outside the building; it somehow got past the deadbolted steel doors, and made it's way onto the walls and ceiling of the foyer. The students climbed to the third floor wh~re they would work and sleep for the week. This was it; this was the l1oor used as a shelter to house home- le~"S people, and this was the reason they were here. The students all chose to spend their spring break in New York renovating the Trinity Shelter. They each felt that they would be doing something to help fellow human beings, although most of them weren't sure what that something was. They were doing actual hands-on work, but that wasn't all. By doing something small like fixing up a shelter, they were doing something big -- they were showing that they care about fellow hum ans bei11gs. Five students from Wilkes College, two students from King's College, and eight students from Kent .State University attended the event. Also in attendance were Tony Vento, Interfaith liaison to Wilkes College, and Pat Duhon, Campus Minister at the Newman Center for Kent State University, who organized the event with Ch::trlie McGarry and Christoph Lingg, two men who supervise the shelter. Upon arrival at the shelter, students were given some time to adjusting to their new surroundings. A few stood looking onto the street below through dirt-covered windows, and they were shocked to see drugs and money bei~g passed in sight of everyone on the street. Others explored the three rooms and bathroom of the shelter. The bathroom was a major concern for everyone there. On the first day in the shelter there was no running water. On Sunday, and throughout the rest of the week, there was only cold water, so those who did not want to stand in a rusty portable shower which only sprayed ice cold water had to do without. The three groups of college volunteers joined together for a group meeting. Names were exchanged and reasons for heiping the homeless were shared. It was an informal meeting, and afterwards the group went to an Indian restaurar t .for dinner. Sunday Wll$ a free day for all the volunteers. Everyone spent the day sigh:seeing in New York City. It was a fun-filled day which enabled everyone to g0! acquainted. .. Renovations started early Monday morning at 8.

That popular snob from the drama department. To ease the long wait, I bothered to ask her, by way of making conversation, what she had done over break. "Oh, naturally I went to Manhattan," she gushed. "That's nice," I said, staring at the floor indicator over the elevator door. Would the car never get back to ground floor? Natalie crooked her hair behind her ear and kept talking. "Had lunch with Madonna, saw 'Hairspray' with Mink Stole and did dinner with Leslie Gore who is planning a comeback album!" Natalie told me. "That's nice," I offered. I had stayed home and steam-andvac'd the carpets. "Then," Natalie continued, "I got taken to "Into the Woods" for Bernadette Peters final performance and sat right in front of Steven Sondheim." Natalie searched my eyes for envy. The elevator finally arrived. "That's nice." I offered, searching my brain for something exciting that I had done, like lubing my recliner. "Next it was off to 'Tallulah'." Natalie went on breathlessly. "Did I tell you I know the guy that wrote it?" she asked me. Before I could answer Natalie continued, "Well, naturally he insisted on taking pie backstage to meet Helen Gallagher, the Star of that onewoman show. Couldn't have been sweeter, don't you think?" Natalie wanted to know. "The sweetest," I said. The elevator stopped at the second floor while nobody got on or off to interrupt the conversation. "Naturally we all went out to Charlie's for drinks," Natalie went on. · Helen was so supportive of my career here at Wilkes. Told me to look her up the simple minute I graduate. Isn't that special?" Natalie wanted to know. "That's special," I offered. The elevator stopped at the third floor and nobody got on or off. "Then Daddy picked me up in the Village and drove us to the Hamptons for a picnic at Davirl Lettermaa's. Everybody who is anybody was there," she tole me. I remembered that Veronica and I had had dinner at ChiChi 's, but I didn't mention it. The elevator finally got to the fourth floor. "What did you do?" Natalie finally condescended to ask me. She crooked her hair behind her other ear and assumed fifth position. "I changed the oil in my Honda, all by myself." ·1 offered. "That's sweet," Natalie said. The elevator doors finally opened on the fourth floor. She called "Toodles," and started running down the hall toward Earth Science. "I have to dash," she called over her shoulder. "I'm having lemonade with Chris Breiseth at 4:00." Suddenly I remembered. "Natalie," I shouted, "I forgot to tell you. Over b.-eak I sold my novel!" But she was gone. I ambled slowly toward the Math Department. "Oh well," I thought, staring through the glass window into the bleak math offices.

Clark is the editor-inchief of the The Billows, the Ocean City High Sc!-_c;ol newspaper, and an accomplished sports writer and columnist for the Ocean City Sentinal Ledger. Clark's main theme was "Social Concerns of the High School Student." He also commented on how to write crisp editorials; for this he brought a hand-out. Clark also took questions. The other seminar was geared toward the potential lawyer. These students were brought to yet a different recital hall also located in the CPA. The first speaker was Eugene Roth, a Wilkes alumnus and attomey at the firm of Rosenn, Jenkins and Greenwald. Roth spoke about the opportunities in the field of law. He mentioned how a lawyer isn't confined to just being an attorney. Following Roth was Goerge Waldner, vice-president of academic affairs. Waldner spoke about the pre-law program at Wilkes. Wilkes does not have pre-law as a major; instead, it has a council set up to advise students who would like to attend law school. The council is headed by Dr. John Natzke who is assisted by Dr. Barbara Jordan as advisors. The next person to speak was Rhonda Fahmy, a Wilkes graduate and first year law student at Georgetown University. Fahrny told of her experiences as a first year law student. Gemini- Happy Week!!! You deserved it; you got it. Capricorn- Calm yourself with the little things because this week you will be spending a lot of time on some big surprises.

Saturday night, a CPA audience of over one hundred people were treated to an evening of fabulous entertainment from the "Nightsounds" of Central City Nite Flite, and the comedy of Earl Reed. Central City Nite Flite, the opening act, primed the audience for the fast paced jabs of Reed. They played three tunes and left the audience wanting more. In fact, even Reed was complimentary. "If I ever guest host 'The Late Show', I'm gonna bring you guys on with me," · he pledged to the band and the crowd. Reed's humor was fast and furious as he went from item to item on his "list." He found the funniest things in every little piece of life he could find. A look at the first two minutes of his performance will confirm that. He went from wanting to "hold hands and sing 'Kumbaya"' to college ("I went to college, I can prove it; I can do that thing with the bottle cap!") to the women in Iowa (" 1 out of 3 women in Iowa are ugly, so look to the left and look to the right, if either of those people are beautiful, you're in trouble!") to why women pee in groups and finally to why they call bathrooms "restrooms" -- all this in a 119 N. Main St. Wilkes-Barre, PA two minute span! He also poked fun at TV gameshows, commercials ("4 out of 5 dentists recommend sugarless gum for their patients who chew gum; who's the fifth dentist that doesn't recomend sugarless?"), parents ("Parents are stupid. For Halloween my Dad wrapped us in tin-foil and called us leftovers"), getting lost on Public Square ("The Misfit of Geometry, a round square"), cruising on Public Square ("I'm not cruising, I'm lost!"), toys, Wilkes Security, the WilkesBarre/Scranton Airport ("It looks like someones house."), karate, Rap Music, The Station ("I don't mind, but is it gonna move at night."), SATs, movies, woman at war, The Secret Recipe of Kentucky Fried Chicken (MSG), and Michelob Light ("Would two Commuter Council's 3rd Annual ROAD RALLY Saturday April 16 Starts in Pickering Parking lot at 11 :00am Entrance fee: $10. 00 per vehicle Tickets on sale NOW in the caf. at night a in Stark Lobby, Thursday 11-1 Register up until the event! $100.00 CASH PRIZES GONDA' $2.35 $2.60 $2.55 $2.60 $2.80 $2.90 $2.80 $2.95 $2.95 $2.40 $2.60 $2.95 $3.65 add .10 add .20 12" Hot Subs Cheesesteak w/onions, peppers, sauce Cheesesteak w/onions, peppers, mushrooms, and special sauce Steak w/lettuce, tomatoes, onions Meatball w/sauce Meatball Parmigiana Homemade Sausage w/onions, peppers, sauce Homemade Sausage Parmigiana B.L.T. w/cheese Hot Tuna Melt Hot Ham & Cheese Hot Beef & Turkey Eggplant Parmigiana Pizza Sub w/topping Gyro (in Pita) w/white sauce wqc~y Co-Sponsored by Arnold Air 1st - $50.00 2nd - $30.00 3rd $20.00 All Sandwiches & Subs with ch~se. lettuce, tomato, onions, may9 or dJ:essjng_ - trophy trophy trophy trophy HOURS: Mon.-Thurs.-llAM to midnight Fri.-1 lAM to 1AM SatAPM to 1AM Sun.-4PM to midnight MexicaJ1 $1.09 $1.09 $1.19 $1.25 $2.70 Mjscenaueous $2.50 $0.75 $0.75 $0.85 Mini Stromboli Chili Dog Cheese Dog Chili Cheese Dog PIZZA Red and White Sold by the Cut $3.00 $3.15 $2.80 $2.45 $2.65 $2.75 $2.95 $2.90 $3.00 $2.75 $3.15 $2.95 $2.25 $2.45 $2.90 4th 5th 6th 7th CALLAHEAD 824-8747 Taco Beef Burrito Garden Burrito Nacho Chips w/cheese Taco Salad No, of Cuts Red 2 cuts 4 cuts 6wts 8 cuts 10 cuts 12 cut tray $1.20 $2.30 ~ $1.30 $2.50 ~M ~~ $4.50 $5.60 $6.70 $4.90 $6.10 $7.30 1■- - ~ - - -Buy - - 6ormorecuts --- - - --- - trfs____ I l., • • :, ·rn·· I ·.. •: • I ~ ~ /- ; of pizza and get I FREE TOPPING Offer·Expires April 30,1988 --------------------------------------- ' ly afi months he will appear Showtime special and an of "Americas favorite 1V The Cosby Show."

"It's a real sense of accomplishment _w e have after each show," said Andrew Morrell, the 1988 Board Chairman. "Everybody on the Board puts a lot of time into our work," he explained, "but we have a great time doing it." the members of the Programming Board have different reasons for their enthusiasm for the organ1zuon. Kim Evans, chairperson of the Board's publicity committee, enjoys meeting the many "up-and-coming" performers the Programming Board has brought to Wilkes. She said that Livingston Taylor was one of the most interesting performers she has met, along with comedian Wayne Cotter, · who has _. appeared on The David Letterman Show several times. Sandie Adams, on the other hand, simply enjoys being part of it all. "It has become something of a habit," she said, "once you are involved you can't seem to give it up." Arny Wiedemer, who supervises all Board activities, said she is proud of what the members of the organization have done for the Wilkes community. Unfortunately, many students at Wilkes are unaware of the Programming Board's function, and do not realize that membership is open to any students interested. Several members of the Board will be leaving in May due to graduation, and the organization is in need of new members to replace them. To help resolve this problem the Programming Board planned a special event to enable students to learn more about the Board. -----FLASH----PRESS RELEASE In a game marred by a benchclearing premature victory celebration, the Fabulous Footlong Hot Dogs with Kraut won for the first time in the two-year history of the franchise.
